Transcript
- 0:00Speaker 1: Watching the game film, what did you see from Joey
- 0:03Speaker 1: that he liked? And then what are some things that
- 0:05Speaker 1: he could probably improve on?
- 0:06Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean I think you know, he had some
- 0:08Speaker 2: clean pockets, you know, not discrediting what he did. It
- 0:12Speaker 2: was just you know, towards the end of the game,
- 0:13Speaker 2: we uh, it was cleaner, a little bit cleaner. I
- 0:18Speaker 2: thought he did a nice job, but just finding the
- 0:20Speaker 2: completions that were there, you know, not trying to do
- 0:24Speaker 2: too much and in all actuality, I mean asked Kim,
- 0:27Speaker 2: he should have probably been one hundred percent the one
- 0:30Speaker 2: that was incomplete where he moved off his spot.
- 0:32Speaker 3: You know, he can make that throw. So the movement
- 0:37Speaker 3: game is where we got to keep working one like when.
- 0:39Speaker 2: He does get moved off his spot and has to
- 0:41Speaker 2: break you know, break around or have a dirty pocket,
- 0:44Speaker 2: still be able to find completions.
- 0:47Speaker 3: But yeah, it was It was a good showing, Turtty.
- 0:50Speaker 1: Impressive for a guy to not really get a lot
- 0:52Speaker 1: of reps in the week and then go out and
- 0:53Speaker 1: do what he did in a game seven.
- 0:56Speaker 4: Yeah.
- 0:56Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean.
- 0:58Speaker 2: They do get enough you know, throwing and catching, and
- 1:02Speaker 2: they get enough reps to like you look around the NFL.
- 1:07Speaker 2: I mean, it's happening kind of everywhere, and so it's
- 1:09Speaker 2: like that's kind of his job.
- 1:11Speaker 3: I'm not discrediting what he did. It's just you.
- 1:14Speaker 2: Expect them in these settings to you know, complete the ball,
- 1:20Speaker 2: you know, and have more completions than incompletions. But I
- 1:24Speaker 2: did think that like the one that was nice to
- 1:26Speaker 2: me was like the rollout hits the sail route to Michael,
- 1:31Speaker 2: like right on the face.
- 1:32Speaker 3: Like, to me, what stood out.
- 1:34Speaker 2: Was more the accuracy of the throws that I thought
- 1:38Speaker 2: were really impressive, you know, was the one on the
- 1:41Speaker 2: touchdown to Payina where it was one two progression hitting
- 1:46Speaker 2: them across the middle in stride. Those are the ones
- 1:49Speaker 2: that I was a little bit more. Okay, that's a
- 1:50Speaker 2: real play. That's something that's going to continue to translate
- 1:54Speaker 2: and we can keep building off of campus.
- 1:57Speaker 5: This is kind of where you want to see those
- 1:58Speaker 5: combinations of lineups. You're really going to stress for week
- 2:01Speaker 5: one to kind of get that continuity.
- 2:02Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, like especially for the joint with Tampa and
- 2:06Speaker 2: just getting those guys a ton of reps and just
- 2:10Speaker 2: trying to maximize these ops because we won't be in
- 2:14Speaker 2: pads again until game week, you know, after this week,
- 2:16Speaker 2: and so that's the reality of just how things fall
- 2:21Speaker 2: and where we're at. And we ended up having one
- 2:23Speaker 2: more padded day than last year's training camp.
- 2:26Speaker 3: So it's you.
- 2:28Speaker 2: Got to maximize these ops and the content. The continued
- 2:31Speaker 2: connuity in chemistry is so important that every single time
- 2:34Speaker 2: we step out here there has to be real intentionality
- 2:38Speaker 2: and not just Okay, this is another training camp practice
- 2:41Speaker 2: like that, ain't it anymore?
- 2:43Speaker 3: Guys?
- 2:43Speaker 2: You know, we're building towards something, we're sharpening our edge
- 2:47Speaker 2: towards something. And I thought, like Chris Rodriguez today, he
- 2:50Speaker 2: practiced that way, and you know, we got to continue
- 2:54Speaker 2: to get guys to do the same.
- 2:58Speaker 4: Man that thing. How is he affective in terms.
- 3:01Speaker 2: Of yeah, we'll see, right, I mean, we'll have to see,
- 3:04Speaker 2: you know, how he takes to a whole new system.
- 3:06Speaker 2: He's been in the same uh system, I guess you
- 3:09Speaker 2: could say, right being in Baltimore and then going to
- 3:12Speaker 2: New York, that's kind of what he's known. Gonna have
- 3:15Speaker 2: a pretty large learning curve, I would imagine in terms
- 3:19Speaker 2: of some of the different things that we do versus
- 3:21Speaker 2: what he's been doing. But you know, Duo's duo mid zones,
- 3:25Speaker 2: mid zone, wie zones, wide zone. There's just some details
- 3:28Speaker 2: and tweaks and calls that are gonna be a little
- 3:31Speaker 2: bit different for him.
- 3:32Speaker 3: But I mean, he didn't I didn't see him have.
- 3:35Speaker 2: Any issues today in terms of like getting up lined
- 3:38Speaker 2: up and just having no pre snaps or what's the
- 3:41Speaker 2: play like? He didn't have any of those, and I
- 3:43Speaker 2: was calling plays off the hook. I mean, there wasn't
- 3:46Speaker 2: all scripted, So he didn't seem to have any issues.
- 3:49Speaker 2: And you hope that somebody obviously with the size that
- 3:52Speaker 2: he has, that he'll be able to help us this year.
- 3:54Speaker 1: What's the game plan for Cole throughout the course of
- 3:56Speaker 1: his first week back?
- 3:59Speaker 3: All end of it?
- 4:00Speaker 2: So it'll just be an all individual to get some
- 4:04Speaker 2: of that work. He's got walkthroughs, jogged through stuff, but
- 4:08Speaker 2: no team right now, no you know, putting them in
- 4:11Speaker 2: those positions. So when we do that stuff, he's going
- 4:14Speaker 2: to be with strength and conditioning being able to get
- 4:16Speaker 2: some of that work.
- 4:16Speaker 6: In two days of joint practices to go back to
- 4:20Speaker 6: back days sit again, how different do.
- 4:22Speaker 3: The two days of back to back?
- 4:23Speaker 1: What do you do differently when you're going back to
- 4:25Speaker 1: back it's just.
- 4:25Speaker 3: A little bit trimmed on day one and two.
- 4:28Speaker 2: It's like a little bit of a split almost from
- 4:32Speaker 2: what we did last week against Carolina. We just got
- 4:36Speaker 2: to work through that and see where we're at in
- 4:38Speaker 2: terms of the health and all that for the second day.
- 4:41Speaker 2: But you know, we're going to talk to those guys
- 4:45Speaker 2: and get a feel for where they're at as well
- 4:47Speaker 2: after their preseason game and get an idea. But it'll
- 4:51Speaker 2: be very similar in a lot of ways to the
- 4:53Speaker 2: Carolina joint in terms of the structure. It would be
- 4:56Speaker 2: more the second day that would be a little different.
- 4:59Speaker 2: Have a little bit more seven on seven, you know,
- 5:01Speaker 2: some of that stuff. So you know, we're hoping to
- 5:04Speaker 2: be able to get a good amount of work on
- 5:06Speaker 2: that first day though.
- 5:09Speaker 1: Able to really go for the opener.
- 5:11Speaker 3: If he doesn't get a lot of physical work, I
- 5:13Speaker 3: can't say that, No, I can't say that.
- 5:17Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean I would imagine the way he would
- 5:19Speaker 2: play football against Cleveland is if he practices the week
- 5:23Speaker 2: of Cleveland. You know, like if he's able to practice
- 5:27Speaker 2: the week of Cleveland and be able to actually feel
- 5:30Speaker 2: comfortable and feel fast and feel firm, then I would
- 5:35Speaker 2: I'd be totally fine, but he's gonna.
- 5:38Speaker 3: Have to practice to play absolutely back to that edge
- 5:42Speaker 3: and building. Did you feel like you saw some of that?
- 5:44Speaker 2: Was it spirited out here Jordan Lewis Barker some of
- 5:47Speaker 2: that kind of stuff?
- 5:48Speaker 6: Yeah?
- 5:48Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean I was just asking Jay Luda, you know,
- 5:51Speaker 2: just play it clean, you know, and he was barking back.
- 5:53Speaker 3: He was good.
- 5:55Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean I didn't think they came out here
- 5:57Speaker 2: and approached it like with or you know, demeanor. And
- 6:01Speaker 2: I thought it was good in terms of the energy
- 6:03Speaker 2: and the guys having some competitiveness in the seven on
- 6:06Speaker 2: seven in the red zone, and it's it's always a
- 6:09Speaker 2: little challenging, especially for the fronts to really go when
- 6:14Speaker 2: you're in Spiders right, Like it's it's just did we
- 6:16Speaker 2: make that play?
- 6:17Speaker 4: Do we not?
- 6:18Speaker 3: Do we block that guy?
- 6:19Speaker 2: Do we not? And there's so a little bit of
- 6:21Speaker 2: gray when it comes to the setting. But I was
- 6:23Speaker 2: definitely pleased with the way that they actually, you know,
- 6:26Speaker 2: came out approached it, had good energy and had some
- 6:29Speaker 2: intentionality which would.
- 6:31Speaker 4: You benefit from that year and Tapa looking.
- 6:33Speaker 3: Baker every day, Yeah, it was awesome.
- 6:35Speaker 2: Had a blast, you know, he made work a lot
- 6:39Speaker 2: of fun, every day. You know, having pre a little
- 6:44Speaker 2: bit pre existing knowledge of the system really helped. And
- 6:49Speaker 2: then you know, he taught me a ton in terms
- 6:50Speaker 2: of what's sometimes too much, what's not enough, what does
- 6:54Speaker 2: he need? And everybody's so different, right, They're all like
- 6:57Speaker 2: a golfer, the quarterbacks like they're all different our own ways.
- 7:02Speaker 2: And just the competitive leadership that I really appreciated.
- 7:05Speaker 3: And continue to learn from him.
- 7:07Speaker 2: That he was very secure in himself to put it
- 7:13Speaker 2: on him, you know, whether it was in a meeting
- 7:16Speaker 2: after the game in front of the whole team, in
- 7:19Speaker 2: front of the whole group, he would head, guys, I
- 7:21Speaker 2: gotta play better, I got to be better. It's you know,
- 7:24Speaker 2: it's just that stuff that when you see your best
- 7:27Speaker 2: player doing it and taking the accountability, that's something that
- 7:31Speaker 2: is a coach. You're like, shoot, man, Like, if he's
- 7:33Speaker 2: doing it, I need to do that too. So yeah,
- 7:36Speaker 2: excited to be able to see him this week.
- 7:38Speaker 1: Last year, you talked about your transition from being an
- 7:41Speaker 1: offensive only.
- 7:42Speaker 3: Coach to now a head coach and how at times
- 7:45Speaker 3: that could be you know, a.
- 7:46Speaker 4: Little bit frustrating.
- 7:47Speaker 5: When you had the Dickerson pick, did you go back
- 7:49Speaker 5: to those old days when offensive coach or do you
- 7:51Speaker 5: find yourself excited about what he did?
- 7:54Speaker 4: Well?
- 7:54Speaker 3: Almost got run over.
- 7:55Speaker 2: I was crouching kind of right behind the play and
- 8:00Speaker 2: almost got stampeded. So I was in a little bit
- 8:03Speaker 2: of a state of shock that Dicky was able was
- 8:07Speaker 2: making that play in terms of how the heck did
- 8:09Speaker 2: we end up here?
- 8:11Speaker 3: Uh No, I was not pleased, No kidding, I was.
- 8:14Speaker 2: It was great to see, you know, like Dickie to
- 8:19Speaker 2: be able to go, you know, athletically make a freaking play,
- 8:21Speaker 2: and that's great for our team.
- 8:22Speaker 3: It's great for our.
- 8:23Speaker 2: Defense, frustrating for the offense, frustrating for our screen game,
- 8:28Speaker 2: but is.
- 8:29Speaker 3: What it is. And I was excited. Yes, off of.
- 8:32Speaker 1: That, I feel like not somebody who maybe gets overlooked,
- 8:35Speaker 1: especially by the the outside world, the fans.
- 8:38Speaker 3: Perhaps how important has he been to this defensive line
- 8:41Speaker 3: rotation and how.
- 8:42Speaker 5: Important will he be moving on?
- 8:43Speaker 3: Yeah, he's he's.
- 8:45Speaker 2: I don't want to say a rock, but like he
- 8:48Speaker 2: is so consistent with the way that he comes out
- 8:52Speaker 2: and hits blocks, the way that he strikes blocks, the
- 8:55Speaker 2: way that he can play you know, firm at the
- 8:58Speaker 2: point of attack. His hands are so heavy, like when
- 9:02Speaker 2: you just shake his hand, you just grab his hand.
- 9:04Speaker 2: I mean, he's so dense and thick, and he's violent
- 9:09Speaker 2: when he can be able to get to his hands
- 9:11Speaker 2: and extension and shed. I mean, he's a strong, strong dude.
- 9:16Speaker 2: And his journey is so impressive. It's such a great
- 9:21Speaker 2: learning op for so many young players that it's like,
- 9:24Speaker 2: not everybody's a one through five draft pick and they
- 9:28Speaker 2: just you know, it's life's easy and their career is easy,
- 9:31Speaker 2: and they just make it like he had to work
- 9:34Speaker 2: really really hard to finally truly make it.
- 9:38Speaker 3: And so I'm glad that it's with us.
- 9:41Speaker 2: I'm glad that he's able to call this place home
- 9:43Speaker 2: for now and he's making a huge impact for our
- 9:45Speaker 2: team the ball. What have you seen from a manual
- 9:48Speaker 2: now as we enter this final week to train.
- 9:49Speaker 3: Yeah, this will be I think this will be a
- 9:51Speaker 3: good test. I think this will be a nice test
- 9:53Speaker 3: this week.
- 9:55Speaker 2: Todd and their defense, they throw a lot of different
- 9:57Speaker 2: looks at you last week in Carolina and then you know,
- 10:02Speaker 2: New Orleans was a little bit more of a similar
- 10:05Speaker 2: defense to each other. Less pressures, stunts, twists, movement, you know,
- 10:12Speaker 2: So that was great to get him kind of going
- 10:15Speaker 2: now this is gonna be a little bit of a
- 10:17Speaker 2: test in terms of being able to you know, handle
- 10:20Speaker 2: all that the communication, the moving parts, the picks, the stunts,
- 10:25Speaker 2: the twists, the pressures. I think this will be a
- 10:28Speaker 2: great op for us to be able to really work
- 10:31Speaker 2: with them and and and work through this week and
- 10:33Speaker 2: hopefully continues to ascend.
- 10:37Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 10:39Speaker 3: Yeah, I think he's had a nice camp.
- 10:40Speaker 2: I mean, I thought in the joint he showed up
- 10:44Speaker 2: in a major way in terms of like getting a
- 10:47Speaker 2: real you know, competitive.
- 10:49Speaker 3: Op to go.
- 10:52Speaker 2: You know, I think that Josh he knows how to practice.
- 10:55Speaker 2: So it's like he knows to not maybe if he's
- 10:58Speaker 2: going against the second offensive line and like to work technique,
- 11:02Speaker 2: to work fundamentals, but also not to just like maybe
- 11:06Speaker 2: win beat the guy every single play that you know
- 11:09Speaker 2: you can, Like there's a balance to that. You want
- 11:11Speaker 2: to see these guys rec practice when we are good
- 11:14Speaker 2: on good, Like that's when I want to see you
- 11:16Speaker 2: wreck here, like go absolutely wreck practice our first group.
- 11:20Speaker 2: If they can't block you, damn, we got better as
- 11:22Speaker 2: a team. And so I think he's had a really
- 11:24Speaker 2: nice camp. I think he's excited for this kind of
- 11:30Speaker 2: season and this startup. I think he's itching a little
- 11:33Speaker 2: bit to get going, and I'm excited to see him
- 11:36Speaker 2: against Tristan this week a little bit and Luke Ettiki.
- 11:39Speaker 3: Both those tackles are good tackles.
- 11:41Speaker 2: They've both gotten paid already, and this will be a
- 11:44Speaker 2: great test for our edge guys.
- 11:47Speaker 1: We're in the last week of camp.
- 11:49Speaker 4: For those guys who.
- 11:49Speaker 1: Are maybe battling for the end roster spots. Is there
- 11:52Speaker 1: something they can do to kind of swear opinion or
- 11:54Speaker 1: is it a result of everything.
- 11:56Speaker 4: They built them?
- 11:56Speaker 2: Yeah, it's it's more of a result of the body work.
- 12:01Speaker 2: I think you always leave the the option open. And man,
- 12:04Speaker 2: somebody comes out here this week and absolutely balls in
- 12:09Speaker 2: the preseason game. And it could be somebody that's maybe
- 12:13Speaker 2: made a few plays already and that was ascending there,
- 12:16Speaker 2: or maybe somebody that didn't hasn't made a ton of
- 12:19Speaker 2: plays in the first two first two games, or whatever
- 12:22Speaker 2: it is. And so you hope to be able to
- 12:24Speaker 2: give these guys the opt to go do it. And
- 12:28Speaker 2: you know, we're going to mix up some play calling
- 12:31Speaker 2: with some of the coaches in this game, which will
- 12:34Speaker 2: be great to get some guys some experience.
- 12:36Speaker 3: But you know, these are.
- 12:37Speaker 2: This is a big week for a lot of these
- 12:38Speaker 2: guys that are trying to make this team, and so
- 12:40Speaker 2: much of that also that evaluation is like can they
- 12:44Speaker 2: follow direction on a scout card? Can they do what
- 12:47Speaker 2: we're gonna ask them to do on the show team?
- 12:50Speaker 2: And that might not have to always, that might not
- 12:53Speaker 2: always correlate with like making plays in the games.
- 12:56Speaker 3: Like if you.
- 12:56Speaker 2: Can't follow direction, do what we're asking you to do,
- 13:00Speaker 2: practice clean and you know, still with developmental upside, Well,
- 13:06Speaker 2: that's not somebody we're gonna be too juiced about having
- 13:08Speaker 2: on the scout team. And so that's a balance, you know,
- 13:11Speaker 2: that's something that we've been working through and being able
- 13:14Speaker 2: to evaluate throughout this whole training camp. But this week,
- 13:18Speaker 2: like a daylight today, that's an op for us to
- 13:21Speaker 2: be able to see some of these young guys. Can
- 13:23Speaker 2: they follow direction when we're asking them to kind of
- 13:25Speaker 2: give a look in a way.
- 13:27Speaker 3: Can they handle that? Or they can they not handle that?
- 13:30Speaker 2: That's something that we have to continue to watch.
- 13:32Speaker 3: Thanks, guys.
- 13:34Speaker 6: With with Anton making the switch to left tackle, you
- 13:37Speaker 6: guys have had your fair share of reps against one another.
- 13:39Speaker 6: How would you evaluate Anton's performance at the left tackle
- 13:42Speaker 6: position thus far.
- 13:43Speaker 4: I mean's he's a natural athlete.
- 13:44Speaker 7: So the adjustment period, the adjustment from my left and right,
- 13:48Speaker 7: he's picked up on it quick.
- 13:49Speaker 4: And he used to be a left tackle from from.
- 13:51Speaker 7: What I was told, So you know, he's picked up
- 13:54Speaker 7: on it really fast, and he's gonna be a great asset,
- 13:58Speaker 7: especially when Cole gets back in or whoever's out there,
- 14:01Speaker 7: he's gonna he's gonna hold that side really strong.
- 14:04Speaker 4: Will Yeah, that wave's a.
- 14:08Speaker 6: I guess he senses you're kind of the point you're
- 14:10Speaker 6: ready to get this thing going.
- 14:11Speaker 7: You feel that oh yeah, yeah, you know af the
- 14:14Speaker 7: preseason two it's like, okay, all right, we got one more.
- 14:18Speaker 7: And then after this preseason and it's like basically it's
- 14:22Speaker 7: it's next time we go out here on this field.
- 14:24Speaker 7: It's us and we're not stopping until you know, late
- 14:28Speaker 7: January or February January.
- 14:29Speaker 4: So yeah, I'm ready to I'm ready to go.
- 14:33Speaker 7: And you can just tell just by today being like
- 14:36Speaker 7: a little jogged through practice or it's like we need
- 14:39Speaker 7: to fine tune everything, like everything needs to look like
- 14:42Speaker 7: how it's gonna look weak one, Like all the little
- 14:46Speaker 7: little communication areas that you know, if we don't make it.
- 14:49Speaker 7: It's like that's overwhet, it's trying to lock in and
- 14:53Speaker 7: it's time to get this thing going.
- 14:54Speaker 4: So yeah, it's ready, you're o go ahead.
- 14:57Speaker 1: Just year two in camps defense, what is something that
- 15:00Speaker 1: you like about it and what's something that you personally
- 15:03Speaker 1: want to kind of improve on?
- 15:04Speaker 4: I know, yeah, for sure.
- 15:06Speaker 7: I think it's just knowing how to no one expecting
- 15:09Speaker 7: what he's gonna call, you know, and just kind of
- 15:12Speaker 7: and kind of knowing why he's calling these plays, what's
- 15:15Speaker 7: the expectations of how the defense needs to be. So
- 15:18Speaker 7: it's just kind of knowing him as a person, knowing
- 15:20Speaker 7: him as a as a caller, and us as players
- 15:23Speaker 7: just how well can we just be our natural self?
- 15:27Speaker 7: And so for me, it's just like, you know, here
- 15:29Speaker 7: to call line up, be the best football player that
- 15:31Speaker 7: I can be, because at the end of the day,
- 15:32Speaker 7: that's what we up with football players, you know, all
- 15:34Speaker 7: that think and all that extra stuff that we do
- 15:37Speaker 7: as out the window, line up and let's go play
- 15:39Speaker 7: football the way we're supposed to be.
- 15:40Speaker 3: What's the benefit of back to back of joint practices.
- 15:43Speaker 3: Is there anything you get more out of that them
- 15:45Speaker 3: two than just one.
- 15:47Speaker 4: No, whatever they put on the schedule is what I
- 15:50Speaker 4: gotta do. So I don't know. We about to find
- 15:53Speaker 4: out actually next week.
- 15:55Speaker 2: Just deep in the gam what do you think of
- 15:57Speaker 2: the four or five edge guys behind you?
- 16:00Speaker 1: Young guys coming out?
- 16:01Speaker 7: But yeah, I mean they can come in and play
- 16:04Speaker 7: and make plays immediately, obviously. You know you can tell
- 16:08Speaker 7: just by putting on the tape. Man, we have a
- 16:10Speaker 7: lot of young guys that are proving themselves. Uh, it's
- 16:12Speaker 7: not a lot, it's not a lot of spots to feel.
- 16:15Speaker 7: And so when you have a lot of great guys
- 16:18Speaker 7: that are playing good football, especially young guys, who's gonna
- 16:21Speaker 7: be that one or two guy that's gonna make the cut?
- 16:23Speaker 7: And all those guys are battling for that one or
- 16:25Speaker 7: two spots. But it's like that in a lot of
- 16:28Speaker 7: different rooms too. It's all like that in a lot
- 16:30Speaker 7: of different rooms as well. So you know they're coming
- 16:33Speaker 7: in with the right approach, and uh, basically, whoever plays better,
- 16:36Speaker 7: whoever is the better football player, is gonna make this
- 16:38Speaker 7: team basically. But they're all you know, can make it.
- 16:42Speaker 7: I'm just excited to see what that final cut's gonna be.
- 16:44Speaker 7: I'm gonna be upset to see what that final cut's
- 16:46Speaker 7: gonna be. And uh, you know, just gotta take it
- 16:49Speaker 7: the way it.
- 16:49Speaker 5: Is after doing both over the years, I mean, what
- 16:52Speaker 5: is the value a day of a joint practice reps
- 16:55Speaker 5: compared the preseason maybe getting.
- 16:56Speaker 4: Cloud drives in there?
- 16:57Speaker 7: I mean, it's that, It's it's that, uh, it's that
- 17:02Speaker 7: mindset of going to get somebody else. It's like, you know,
- 17:06Speaker 7: even when the first day paths, it's like the first
- 17:08Speaker 7: day of paths, we got to go you know the person.
- 17:12Speaker 7: So it's just like for me, like I'm going to
- 17:14Speaker 7: be aggressive, We're going to set the edges, we're going
- 17:17Speaker 7: to be we're gonna go as hard as we can.
- 17:19Speaker 7: But when it's somebody else, it's like I don't don't
- 17:25Speaker 7: don't like you, and I don't want to know who
- 17:27Speaker 7: you are. I don't want to check on your family.
- 17:29Speaker 7: I don't want to see how you're doing out the here.
- 17:31Speaker 7: Like I'm here to do what's being called at a
- 17:34Speaker 7: very high level and make the players that I'm supposed
- 17:37Speaker 7: to make. And so that's what type of energy and
- 17:39Speaker 7: that's the type of things we get during you know,
- 17:42Speaker 7: doing these joint practice one on ones is you know,
- 17:44Speaker 7: we go right, first thing we do at this at
- 17:46Speaker 7: the end, the right to one of the ones. Get
- 17:48Speaker 7: your mind ready. And for me, that's a good mindset
- 17:51Speaker 7: builder for me. Just just win, you know what I'm saying,
- 17:54Speaker 7: Just win. Don't worry about teamn't worry about hardcount to
- 17:58Speaker 7: worry about. When you want, I want, and that's what
- 18:01Speaker 7: I like to do my best. So I can't wait
- 18:03Speaker 7: for We got a great team coming in and I'm
- 18:06Speaker 7: ready to go to ready to go to war with them.
- 18:08Speaker 1: Josh might down the line gave away your cleats, your
- 18:11Speaker 1: gloves to kids waiting for your autograph.
- 18:14Speaker 5: Why is it important to you to be able to
- 18:16Speaker 5: provide those moments to fans out of here?
- 18:18Speaker 4: I mean us as football players.
- 18:20Speaker 2: Man.
- 18:20Speaker 7: For me, it's it's easy because you know, long story
- 18:24Speaker 7: short man, those are memories that they're going to have forever.
- 18:27Speaker 7: I keep saying that they can have. You know, whatever
- 18:30Speaker 7: they do with them is whatever they do with them.
- 18:32Speaker 7: Some kids might chase them, some kids might lose them.
- 18:35Speaker 7: But for me, it's like if I can give a
- 18:36Speaker 7: kid an opportunity to remember something, and for me, I
- 18:39Speaker 7: can just go and equipment step and get another pair
- 18:42Speaker 7: So for me, it's like a pair of cleats that
- 18:44Speaker 7: I wear just because I want to wear them today
- 18:47Speaker 7: means so much more than one of these kids I
- 18:50Speaker 7: heard that. I'll look at them like I got a
- 18:52Speaker 7: piece of an NFL player, you know what I mean.
- 18:54Speaker 7: So for me, the value and the connection that we
- 18:57Speaker 7: can have with our fans go deeper than just what
- 18:59Speaker 7: we see. For me, it's it's a piece of piece
- 19:02Speaker 7: of equipment. To them, it's wow, it's coming from this person.
- 19:07Speaker 7: So you know, and those are more moments I cherish
- 19:11Speaker 7: mom been together.
- 19:11Speaker 3: A long time. Is there anything you don't know what
- 19:14Speaker 3: he's thinking at any point?
- 19:15Speaker 1: Like on the field, Like you guys so in tune
- 19:17Speaker 1: with each other at this point.
- 19:18Speaker 4: So man, I mean, uh, what do you mean?
- 19:24Speaker 6: Like if you're a situation, you know what he's thinking
- 19:27Speaker 6: on every single snap right at every moment on the field.
- 19:29Speaker 3: You guys are sowing too.
- 19:30Speaker 4: Right, Uh? I would I would take it a little further.
- 19:36Speaker 7: I would feel like I know what everybody's doing because
- 19:39Speaker 7: we got to know what the defense is about, we
- 19:41Speaker 7: got to know where I know where he's going to be.
- 19:43Speaker 4: I'll tell you that, Like you know, we have.
- 19:45Speaker 7: This one call I know I know where he's going
- 19:48Speaker 7: to be, So I feel like I know what everybody's doing.
- 19:54Speaker 7: But I think I know what you're trying to get at.
- 19:56Speaker 7: I think when we are rushing together, like kind of
- 19:58Speaker 7: playing off of each other, like I know how he's
- 20:01Speaker 7: gonna rush, Like like if he has a hot call
- 20:04Speaker 7: and he has the one on one and he wins fast,
- 20:06Speaker 7: I know I can rap under him, and he knows
- 20:08Speaker 7: if I take the inside, I know he's gonna wrap
- 20:10Speaker 7: over me.
- 20:10Speaker 4: So the trust is there.
- 20:12Speaker 7: I think we just build a trust throughout the years
- 20:14Speaker 7: and that allows us to play fast and know and
- 20:16Speaker 7: like if as soon as he hears something or see something,
- 20:18Speaker 7: he's gonna communicate to me, and I trust him. I'm
- 20:21Speaker 7: not gonna be like, I don't think you're telling the truth.
- 20:23Speaker 7: You know what I'm saying.
- 20:24Speaker 4: I'm gonna be like, I believe you.
- 20:25Speaker 7: I trust you. You know, I know you do the
- 20:26Speaker 7: film study. I know you're gonna trust your eyes, so
- 20:29Speaker 7: you know, I trust him when it comes to that.
- 20:30Speaker 7: But I trust the whole defense when we go out there.
- 20:32Speaker 1: You talked about knowing what everybody on the defense is
- 20:35Speaker 1: gonna do. Is that something that you emphasize or is
- 20:37Speaker 1: that pushed by the coaching staff, And why is that important?
- 20:39Speaker 7: I mean, it's pushed by the coaching staff. It's pushed
- 20:41Speaker 7: by So it's about the It's a trickle down effect,
- 20:43Speaker 7: you know. It goes starts up top, goes to positional coaches,
- 20:47Speaker 7: goes to players, goes to the captains, goes to the players.
- 20:50Speaker 4: And now it's like, if I know what the DBS.
- 20:53Speaker 7: Are doing in the back end, they know that I know,
- 20:57Speaker 7: so I'm gonna hold him to a standard of y'all
- 21:00Speaker 7: wasn't on your ship. I mean, y'all wasn't on your stuff.
- 21:02Speaker 7: And it's vice versa. You know, if the DBS are
- 21:04Speaker 7: locking everybody up, it should be a sack, you know
- 21:07Speaker 7: what I mean. If we're getting pressure, we're getting we're
- 21:10Speaker 7: forcing bad passes.
- 21:11Speaker 4: It should be a pick.
- 21:12Speaker 7: And we talk about this in film, like you know,
- 21:15Speaker 7: where's the safety rotations? This is the reason why we
- 21:17Speaker 7: do it, This is the reason why we communicate. This
- 21:19Speaker 7: is the reason why we slide when we're supposed to slide.
- 21:22Speaker 7: You know, it's built on trust. And if we can
- 21:24Speaker 7: trust that everybody, all eleven people are going to be
- 21:26Speaker 7: where they're supposed to be, will be the best defense.
- 21:29Speaker 4: In the world.
- 21:30Speaker 3: Now what kind of keep you.
- 21:34Speaker 7: Uh, personally, I mean it's a good camp. I'm ready
- 21:39Speaker 7: to get going. I think having that joint practice really
- 21:44Speaker 7: was like, dang, I really want to I really want
- 21:49Speaker 7: to like tackle somebody, or I really want to, like,
- 21:52Speaker 7: you know, rush the past. I want to see what
- 21:54Speaker 7: I can do full throttle. But I know it's like
- 21:57Speaker 7: I can't rush that process. You know, it's saying, it
- 21:59Speaker 7: is what it is. And we have a schedule for
- 22:01Speaker 7: a reason. We have Jordan practice for a reason. But
- 22:04Speaker 7: when the time comes when we played Week one against
- 22:06Speaker 7: the Bronze, you know we're gonna be ready to go
- 22:10Speaker 7: and be fired up just to put everybody else hopefully.
- 22:17Speaker 4: That mean.
- 22:17Speaker 3: What were your thoughts on the Matt Dickerson interception?
- 22:22Speaker 4: Uh?
- 22:23Speaker 7: I love it, man, He's they got him twice. He
- 22:25Speaker 7: dropped one last time. No, the first one he missed,
- 22:28Speaker 7: absolutely missed. I didn't see it. Then the second hap
- 22:32Speaker 7: he got he dropped it, and now the third one
- 22:34Speaker 7: he picked it. You know, so uh, it's just cool
- 22:38Speaker 7: to see you know what I'm saying. And I wanted
- 22:39Speaker 7: to make sure I ran with him so I can
- 22:42Speaker 7: get out the next play. Uh but you know, shout
- 22:47Speaker 7: out to Matt Man. He's gonna he's he's been, he's
- 22:49Speaker 7: had a he's been having a heck of account.
- 22:51Speaker 4: I'm excited. I'm excited for him.
- 22:53Speaker 7: Uh Man, I think we're gonna be as stout as
- 22:55Speaker 7: ever upfront, and uh, I can't wait to get going again.
- 23:00Speaker 6: This was about a month or so ago, but you
- 23:01Speaker 6: had the opportunity to attend a Sack summit over in Vegas.
- 23:04Speaker 6: Although being a seasoned veteran, are there still things you
- 23:06Speaker 6: pick up on just being around the league's best at
- 23:08Speaker 6: your position?
- 23:10Speaker 4: Uh? Uh. I think we all say the same stuff.
- 23:16Speaker 7: That's the biggest takeaway that I can get from being
- 23:18Speaker 7: around those guys. And I'm at a spot now whereas
- 23:21Speaker 7: you know, I'm talking now like gods are coming up
- 23:25Speaker 7: to me asking me like what's your process? What do
- 23:26Speaker 7: you think about? How do you rush? Like what is
- 23:28Speaker 7: your mindset? So for me, it's more like an educator,
- 23:32Speaker 7: but also like we're all things that all the guys
- 23:35Speaker 7: are saying the same thing.
- 23:36Speaker 4: It's just how are we approaching it? You know?
- 23:38Speaker 7: How is our routine outside the building. That's the only
- 23:41Speaker 7: difference that I could take from everybody else, but you know,
- 23:43Speaker 7: football football at the end of the day, and it's
- 23:45Speaker 7: very instinctual, and you know and those you know. Once
- 23:49Speaker 7: you line up, you get the call to play from
- 23:52Speaker 7: when the ball snaps to when the ball doesn't snap anymore.
- 23:54Speaker 7: It's instinctual play football. And there's a lot of great
- 23:57Speaker 7: foot players and I'm blessed to be one of thom
