• 0:00
  Speaker 1: This is where I'm starting.
• 0:01
  Speaker 2: It's you I love to go this year, and it's
• 0:02
  Speaker 2: kind of kind of what the goal is, I mean
• 0:04
  Speaker 2: goal for everybody you know, but this one is attainable.
• 0:07
  Speaker 2: So uh yeah, and honestly a big thanks to James
• 0:09
  Speaker 2: and me and them talked about this before, but you know,
• 0:13
  Speaker 2: I haven't done a thing for him. That's kind of
• 0:16
  Speaker 2: what's cool about to me is he he just got
• 0:18
  Speaker 2: here and he had enough faith in me to key around.
• 0:20
  Speaker 2: So that definitely is a lot better.
• 0:22
  Speaker 3: How long have they negotiations going on?
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: Too long? But no, I'm not. Everyone's been great to
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: work with obviously.
• 0:29
  Speaker 2: When uh, you know, he loved the place and the
• 0:31
  Speaker 2: places seem to love you back, it kind of kind.
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: Of goes pretty easy.
• 0:34
  Speaker 2: But man, between this high score recruit and I kind
• 0:37
  Speaker 2: of just wanted to play football pun fish, So I
• 0:39
  Speaker 2: don't like dealing with all that stuff, you know, like.
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: Me like the leagues, highest state parks on the team.
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: Yet that yeah, I mean, it is what it is.
• 0:48
  Speaker 2: If someone tells me money don't matter, they're going this
• 0:50
  Speaker 2: is someone you know, two boys and awesome wife.
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: The boring plays. So when you start talking about finances
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: when it's just you. That's kind of different.
• 0:58
  Speaker 2: But then when you have a you know, people behind
• 0:59
  Speaker 2: you and kids that you're raising up, it doesn't mean
• 1:02
  Speaker 2: a lot.
• 1:04
  Speaker 4: How well physically you feel as good as you ever have.
• 1:07
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it's crazy.
• 1:09
  Speaker 2: I'd be thirty next month and I still swinging it
• 1:11
  Speaker 2: and I feel you know, I'm not saying I feel
• 1:13
  Speaker 2: like I did when I was twenty one, but you know,
• 1:14
  Speaker 2: as far as consistency and feeling very comfortable on the field, Uh,
• 1:19
  Speaker 2: that's that's kind of where I'm at right now. And
• 1:21
  Speaker 2: I'm trying to keep that, keep that consistent feel and
• 1:23
  Speaker 2: try to keep everything as simple as possible.
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: And that's kind of the goal.
• 1:26
  Speaker 3: You trying to the faith that Leaves showed in you.
• 1:28
  Speaker 4: Uh, you know, he kept you Ross and Cam and
• 1:32
  Speaker 4: the coordinators. So uh is that a recognition that that
• 1:36
  Speaker 4: that phase of the team was was too good to
• 1:39
  Speaker 4: pass up or.
• 1:39
  Speaker 2: Too good to Yeah, I mean I think before we
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: even changed changed, uh, you know, leadership roles. You know,
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: before we got got James here, there was a lot
• 1:48
  Speaker 2: of conversation had between me and people who were still
• 1:50
  Speaker 2: here at the time that was hey, like, I don't
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: care what happens.
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: I know there's a lot of change coming.
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: But as long as this guy stays like that's that's
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: everyone in the room wants that and talking about Heath
• 1:58
  Speaker 2: and you know Heath his three years here you said
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: three Pro Bowlers every year. I think that's testament to him.
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: And obviously our scheme puts people in good positions to
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: make plays.
• 2:07
  Speaker 5: Coming off a career year, where do you see some
• 2:10
  Speaker 5: marginal improvement? Where would you like to see the next step?
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, I had had a game I'd love
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: to have back last year, and I think it is
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: as a when you get to I guess a mature
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: player in the NFL that you can have bad plays,
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: but not bad games. And I think cutting out those
• 2:27
  Speaker 2: bad games. There's one game in Vegas last year that
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: just it's not how punt and I've they came to
• 2:31
  Speaker 2: a point like the fourth quarter. I told Ross as
• 2:33
  Speaker 2: they did, we got to stop punting because I just
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: we need to go home, you know, And I can't
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: have those those games. And I think my goal is,
• 2:39
  Speaker 2: you know, just have some bad plays, but keep the
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: bad games from having.
• 2:44
  Speaker 4: Yes, thank you all, Jack coach. The three guys, did
• 2:48
  Speaker 4: you see enough that made you feel like we can't
• 2:50
  Speaker 4: break this group up.
• 2:51
  Speaker 6: Yeah, it was important after you know, talking to people
• 2:54
  Speaker 6: once I once I actually got the job, and then
• 2:56
  Speaker 6: you start to watch a little bit more film on
• 2:59
  Speaker 6: special teams and watch our specialists and how they operated.
• 3:03
  Speaker 6: Then you obviously start talking to the people in the building,
• 3:06
  Speaker 6: and not only about Heath and Luke, but obviously about
• 3:09
  Speaker 6: the guys and and just the professionalism, the way that
• 3:13
  Speaker 6: they practice, the way that they go about their business.
• 3:16
  Speaker 6: And then obviously when you turn the tape on and
• 3:18
  Speaker 6: you see the weapons that they are as specialists, that's
• 3:23
  Speaker 6: that's a part of the game that man, when you
• 3:25
  Speaker 6: don't have those assets, it's a difficult game at times,
• 3:29
  Speaker 6: especially when you got to be able to flip the
• 3:31
  Speaker 6: field and play field position when you need to be
• 3:34
  Speaker 6: able to get points from a longer distance. So, you know,
• 3:38
  Speaker 6: that was really important. It was critical to keep that
• 3:40
  Speaker 6: continuity together. And so far have been nothing but please
• 3:43
  Speaker 6: with these guys.
• 3:46
  Speaker 7: Did you ask that of these guys, is that your
• 3:47
  Speaker 7: goal for OTAs to be a little different than a
• 3:50
  Speaker 7: mini camp.
• 3:50
  Speaker 6: And yeah, we just you know, tightened the racks down
• 3:54
  Speaker 6: a little bit in terms of the amount of repetitions
• 3:57
  Speaker 6: and just up the competes a little bit. I thought
• 3:59
  Speaker 6: they did a job today within that still taking care
• 4:03
  Speaker 6: of each other, practicing the right way. Yes, we umped
• 4:07
  Speaker 6: the level up, the level of competition, but you didn't
• 4:09
  Speaker 6: see a million people banging into each other or guys
• 4:13
  Speaker 6: getting banged up, and it was cleaner. I was a
• 4:15
  Speaker 6: little concerned with that, and that's obviously not what we're
• 4:18
  Speaker 6: trying to get accomplished out of these next few days.
• 4:21
  Speaker 6: But yeah, we were keeping score on the competition phase
• 4:24
  Speaker 6: of it, and it was really the red zone and
• 4:27
  Speaker 6: the third down periods we kind of kept score and
• 4:30
  Speaker 6: just try to make it a little bit more fun
• 4:32
  Speaker 6: for him. You know, at the end of the day,
• 4:33
  Speaker 6: these guys, when you have it on a script, that
• 4:35
  Speaker 6: becomes a little monotonous forum. And so we're trying to
• 4:38
  Speaker 6: do as much call it periods as we can for
• 4:41
  Speaker 6: us as coaches. But also I think the players enjoy
• 4:44
  Speaker 6: it a little bit more for them to just go
• 4:45
  Speaker 6: play and not be you know, previewing a script.
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: Do you think you have as line?
• 4:51
  Speaker 6: Yeah, I thought there was a little bit more of
• 4:53
  Speaker 6: a rush today, which was great to seem from one aspect,
• 4:57
  Speaker 6: And like I was just talking to Tony about this
• 4:59
  Speaker 6: just now it's it's actually the worst time to play
• 5:03
  Speaker 6: offensive line because there's no surface area to touch, and
• 5:08
  Speaker 6: as much as we'd love to not admit, there's holding
• 5:11
  Speaker 6: that does occur in a in a you know, professional way,
• 5:14
  Speaker 6: and so it's really difficult to play offensive line in
• 5:19
  Speaker 6: these competitive situations that are primarily drop back past situations.
• 5:25
  Speaker 6: So really not judging them by any means. But although
• 5:29
  Speaker 6: it was nice to see some of that juice off
• 5:32
  Speaker 6: the edge and our d line getting going a little bit.
• 5:35
  Speaker 6: That was nice to see because we really haven't not
• 5:38
  Speaker 6: necessarily seen it. We have, but more so haven't been
• 5:41
  Speaker 6: in those settings as much, and so it was definitely
• 5:44
  Speaker 6: good to see. And but if I was in OL
• 5:46
  Speaker 6: in this setting, I'd be kind of annoyed.
• 5:50
  Speaker 4: Along the line.
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: Just you talked about before having competition in that room.
• 5:55
  Speaker 2: I know it's not training camp yet, but just what
• 5:58
  Speaker 2: have you seen from that competition in within that group?
• 6:01
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I think it's more.
• 6:04
  Speaker 6: The competes for me have been more Okay, after we
• 6:09
  Speaker 6: throw a pass maybe ten yards down the field, are
• 6:12
  Speaker 6: they bursting to go get down the field to go
• 6:15
  Speaker 6: practice the right habits that are going to hopefully continue
• 6:19
  Speaker 6: on through training camp through the season and be just
• 6:22
  Speaker 6: like our style of play, the way that we want
• 6:24
  Speaker 6: those guys to play. It's very difficult, like you mentioned,
• 6:27
  Speaker 6: to see an actual physicality within either the run game
• 6:32
  Speaker 6: or the pass pro in these settings.
• 6:35
  Speaker 3: But I think from a repetition.
• 6:38
  Speaker 6: Standpoint when you talk about competition, that we've got a
• 6:41
  Speaker 6: lot of guys some quality competitive reps with both the
• 6:44
  Speaker 6: first group, second group, and third group, and so that's
• 6:48
  Speaker 6: been nice to have and knowing that, Okay, we're gonna
• 6:51
  Speaker 6: really hold off on the judgment specifically on the front
• 6:55
  Speaker 6: until we get the pads on. But I think you know,
• 6:58
  Speaker 6: Sean Khale and try you know, Mental Sin have done
• 7:01
  Speaker 6: a nice job coaching that group up, and those guys
• 7:04
  Speaker 6: have taken to it, They've taken to the competition, and ultimately, uh, well,
• 7:09
  Speaker 6: we'll wait to hold off on some of those judgments
• 7:11
  Speaker 6: till we get to training camp.
• 7:12
  Speaker 5: Ever had a sleeve on today, first time I believe
• 7:15
  Speaker 5: in OTAs was there is there anything going on there?
• 7:18
  Speaker 6: No, I think he just had a little bit of
• 7:19
  Speaker 6: just general soreness. You know, we we threw a lot
• 7:22
  Speaker 6: of balls kind of last.
• 7:24
  Speaker 3: Week and really leaned up into you know, he feels good,
• 7:28
  Speaker 3: he said. He said, it wasn't really an issue.
• 7:30
  Speaker 6: It was more sometimes when you just have something to
• 7:33
  Speaker 6: keep it warm, just helps, you know, any type of thrower.
• 7:36
  Speaker 3: So I think that was more just maintenance than it
• 7:39
  Speaker 3: is anything that's really bothering them. S.
• 7:47
  Speaker 6: Yeah, he's another one that just works his tail off
• 7:51
  Speaker 6: every day. Like if you were to ask Campy one
• 7:55
  Speaker 6: of the guys that he really has a lot of
• 7:56
  Speaker 6: appreciation for. Specifically obviously as a defensive core ordinator is
• 8:01
  Speaker 6: Brenton strange. Just the way that he practices when he
• 8:04
  Speaker 6: does get his hands on you when he is blocking,
• 8:07
  Speaker 6: he's physical, he's violent. Uh, he has some explosive movements.
• 8:12
  Speaker 6: He's got strong hands. So, you know, I've been really
• 8:15
  Speaker 6: pleased with with Brenton. I do believe that he's ready
• 8:18
  Speaker 6: to take a step and you saw it last year
• 8:21
  Speaker 6: kind of taking some steps forward, and I've been really
• 8:24
  Speaker 6: pleased with his efforts so far.
• 8:25
  Speaker 8: That thought revolve because you just talk about his growth
• 8:30
  Speaker 8: from the time he's got here to Nount.
• 8:32
  Speaker 6: Yeah, I think, you know, both physically and mentally, there's
• 8:35
  Speaker 6: been some growth. You know, I saw some muscles coming
• 8:38
  Speaker 6: out of his arms, and you know, he looks. No,
• 8:41
  Speaker 6: he's done a great job, you know, and like I
• 8:43
  Speaker 6: said in the weight room, with the you know, conditioning,
• 8:47
  Speaker 6: he's doing multiple.
• 8:48
  Speaker 3: Meetings a day.
• 8:50
  Speaker 6: You know, I'd have to go back and watch the
• 8:52
  Speaker 6: tape and see how he actually performed. But as you know,
• 8:56
  Speaker 6: like on defense, as a dB, usually if they're not
• 8:59
  Speaker 6: calling your name, it's typically a good thing.
• 9:02
  Speaker 3: So I'll have to go back and watch.
• 9:04
  Speaker 6: But I think he's done a nice job in terms
• 9:06
  Speaker 6: of communicating with the guys. He has a little bit
• 9:09
  Speaker 6: of a benefit of knowing some of our plays in
• 9:12
  Speaker 6: some ways, but I don't think that's made any changes.
• 9:15
  Speaker 6: But maybe like formationally, he can anticipate maybe a little
• 9:19
  Speaker 6: bit more, but he's also a little bit behind obviously
• 9:22
  Speaker 6: from a terminology and defensive communication. I thought he did
• 9:26
  Speaker 6: a good job, and he integrates himself so well with
• 9:29
  Speaker 6: those guys no matter what.
• 9:30
  Speaker 3: So I think he's had some progress for sure.
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: Easily it seems like he's able to jump back and forth. Yeah,
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: I mean, I.
• 9:40
  Speaker 6: Guess a little bit because it's something you don't see
• 9:44
  Speaker 6: every day, right, So for him though, it just seems
• 9:47
  Speaker 6: pretty like normal, right, And so I think what helps
• 9:51
  Speaker 6: him kind of do things right. A lot is that
• 9:55
  Speaker 6: he's so well conditioned that from a mental fatigue standpoint
• 10:00
  Speaker 6: doesn't seem to occur all that much out here where.
• 10:04
  Speaker 3: He can kind of just run.
• 10:06
  Speaker 6: You know, he's been in altitude for a few years now,
• 10:08
  Speaker 6: and but he is in very good, you know, physical
• 10:12
  Speaker 6: shape when it comes to just being able to run
• 10:14
  Speaker 6: all day, and that's something that ultimately, once your legs
• 10:18
  Speaker 6: start to go, the mind starts to go, and you
• 10:21
  Speaker 6: don't really see that all that.
• 10:22
  Speaker 3: Often with him.
• 10:24
  Speaker 6: He just keeps going, and so that's been exciting to see,
• 10:27
  Speaker 6: and that's gonna he's gonna have to lean into that
• 10:30
  Speaker 6: as he goes here and the reps start to go
• 10:33
  Speaker 6: up and he starts to play maybe offense and defense
• 10:36
  Speaker 6: on the same.
• 10:36
  Speaker 3: Day, which will occur in training camp.
• 10:39
  Speaker 6: So yeah, it's definitely a little bit surprising because you
• 10:42
  Speaker 6: haven't seen it too much.
• 10:45
  Speaker 3: For many camp that you weren't necessarily looking for during OTAs.
• 10:49
  Speaker 6: Yeah, I think just a little bit uptick in the competition,
• 10:53
  Speaker 6: just just trying to put them in some more game
• 10:58
  Speaker 6: like situations, where as maybe the majority of OTAs, even
• 11:02
  Speaker 6: though we do situational football every day, it's typically in
• 11:06
  Speaker 6: a jog through setting a little bit slower paced. We've
• 11:10
  Speaker 6: been mainly operating either off of a script or call
• 11:13
  Speaker 6: it periods of you know, first down, second down, third down,
• 11:16
  Speaker 6: red zone, but went a little bit more specific today
• 11:19
  Speaker 6: in the red zone with like third and ten on
• 11:21
  Speaker 6: the ten, third and seven on the seven. Those got
• 11:25
  Speaker 6: to habit type situations and then obviously ended with some
• 11:28
  Speaker 6: two minute.
• 11:29
  Speaker 3: Work as well.
• 11:30
  Speaker 6: So trying to simulate a little bit more game like competition,
• 11:35
  Speaker 6: game like situations, put them in some more pressure, let
• 11:39
  Speaker 6: the mind go a little bit more as the fatigue
• 11:42
  Speaker 6: starts to set in, and try to create as much
• 11:46
  Speaker 6: sameness as we can to a game.
• 11:47
  Speaker 8: You're a little bit.
• 11:48
  Speaker 7: More excitement today knowing your full team was out here.
• 11:50
  Speaker 3: Yeah. Absolutely.
• 11:51
  Speaker 6: I mean, I think we've had phenomenal attendance throughout the
• 11:54
  Speaker 6: entire offseason. I'll say, you know, I really appreciate that
• 11:59
  Speaker 6: from our guy the amount that they've been here voluntarily
• 12:04
  Speaker 6: and now obviously being in a mandatory time, that it's
• 12:08
  Speaker 6: been kind of normal, right, Like, we've had such good
• 12:11
  Speaker 6: attendance that the majority of the guys have been here
• 12:13
  Speaker 6: the entire time, and but you definitely felt it a
• 12:16
  Speaker 6: little bit more yesterday in the team meeting where you
• 12:19
  Speaker 6: truly have everybody all in there together, you're going over
• 12:23
  Speaker 6: the schedule of the week and the expectations. I just
• 12:26
  Speaker 6: felt maybe a little bit more of a serious approach
• 12:28
  Speaker 6: in some ways to these next few days. And and
• 12:32
  Speaker 6: it is a longer day, like we'll have these guys
• 12:34
  Speaker 6: for the remainder of the day, we'll end with a
• 12:36
  Speaker 6: walkthrough in the afternoon, which will simulate our cadence and
• 12:40
  Speaker 6: rhythm for training camp.
• 12:42
  Speaker 3: And that was That's what the goal is here for
• 12:44
  Speaker 3: these three days. Get them into a rhythm and routine.
• 12:47
  Speaker 6: Of kind of what we're gonna do for training camp
• 12:49
  Speaker 6: and have everybody in here together camp.
• 12:52
  Speaker 3: Ye, no show.
• 12:54
  Speaker 5: Is he excused?
• 12:55
  Speaker 2: Is he?
• 12:55
  Speaker 8: Is he?
• 12:55
  Speaker 7: Okay?
• 12:56
  Speaker 9: Is he?
• 12:56
  Speaker 3: Yeah? I think he's he's excused for sure. Absolutely. Yeah,
• 13:00
  Speaker 3: he's got it.
• 13:00
  Speaker 6: He just uh had a actually had a baby recently,
• 13:04
  Speaker 6: so he's he's kind of working through some personal stuff.
• 13:09
  Speaker 9: Yeah.
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: You talked about the switch of being offensive minded.
• 13:12
  Speaker 3: But yeah, backer defense just like to see him with
• 13:15
  Speaker 3: this offense.
• 13:15
  Speaker 6: Man, I've been I've been impressed with Tyson. I thought,
• 13:20
  Speaker 6: like you said, today made some really good competitive plays.
• 13:23
  Speaker 6: He's getting more and more comfortable playing with his hands
• 13:26
  Speaker 6: at the line of scrimmage, trusting his physicality. He does
• 13:30
  Speaker 6: have long arms and good length, and obviously the speed
• 13:32
  Speaker 6: and athleticism shows up. I thought he made some really
• 13:35
  Speaker 6: good plays on the ball, and he kind of has
• 13:38
  Speaker 6: all throughout OTAs. But I've been really pleased with his approach,
• 13:42
  Speaker 6: the way that he's practiced, the way that he's taken coaching.
• 13:46
  Speaker 3: I've been really pleased with Tyson so far.
• 13:49
  Speaker 8: Thanks guys, the GM Glastone. He just told me just
• 13:53
  Speaker 8: be honestly, So that's all I am. That's all I'm
• 13:55
  Speaker 8: trying to do is just bey I am. You know,
• 13:57
  Speaker 8: get the guys the nuggets of knowledge that I have.
• 14:00
  Speaker 8: That's it really, just beat myself out there and play
• 14:02
  Speaker 8: good ball and and the rest of take care of himself.
• 14:04
  Speaker 9: What's it like trying to gover Travis Hunter on one
• 14:06
  Speaker 9: day and then being in line with him getting reps
• 14:08
  Speaker 9: than that.
• 14:09
  Speaker 8: No, he he's he's very energetic man. He he's very
• 14:11
  Speaker 8: shifty and when he gets the ball he can go. So,
• 14:14
  Speaker 8: I mean, he's very he's a he's a very special talent.
• 14:16
  Speaker 8: It's just you know, holding those things in, especially on
• 14:18
  Speaker 8: the defensive end, just understanding what.
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: We like to do and different techniques.
• 14:21
  Speaker 8: But he he's very he has the aptitude to understand,
• 14:24
  Speaker 8: you know, how to do it on offense and defense,
• 14:26
  Speaker 8: and I I believe he can get it done.
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: What is he just going up against Ryan Thomas.
• 14:30
  Speaker 8: And he's smooth. He's very smooth man for the for
• 14:33
  Speaker 8: his size. He he gets in and out of his
• 14:35
  Speaker 8: brakes really quickly. I think he wanted the top guys
• 14:37
  Speaker 8: that I I I've regarded honestly, and I feel like
• 14:40
  Speaker 8: he he can get better.
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: And he's a very young guy. And uh, I feel
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: like he this guy's a limit.
• 14:44
  Speaker 9: Film already said, Uh, you're coaching him up after every rep?
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: What?
• 14:47
  Speaker 2: What?
• 14:48
  Speaker 9: What a he? What have you been telling him? What
• 14:49
  Speaker 9: have you seen from him? Going in New Year too? Uh?
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: You know, just like I said, he he kind of raw,
• 14:53
  Speaker 1: just like Travis.
• 14:54
  Speaker 8: Just you know, just trying to make sure he he's
• 14:55
  Speaker 8: technically sounding st the things that you know, Coach Malow
• 14:58
  Speaker 8: is telling us to do. Just making sure that he
• 14:59
  Speaker 8: he gets those things and and he's he's definitely a
• 15:02
  Speaker 8: special athlete, but you know, just making sure he he's
• 15:04
  Speaker 8: technically signed out there every single time. But he he's
• 15:06
  Speaker 8: one of those guys that can play for sure.
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: How important is it to.
• 15:09
  Speaker 9: You to take on that kind of leadership role with
• 15:10
  Speaker 9: some of the younger guys.
• 15:11
  Speaker 8: Yeah, very important, cause, uh when I was coming into
• 15:14
  Speaker 8: the league, I've never really had a guy that you know,
• 15:15
  Speaker 8: took me under my wing, on his wing and and
• 15:17
  Speaker 8: tell me exactly what the dude to do is and
• 15:18
  Speaker 8: duncon in the league, and I just want those guys
• 15:21
  Speaker 8: to you know, understand that you know, I'm I'm here
• 15:23
  Speaker 8: for him, I'm I'm in their corner, so you know,
• 15:24
  Speaker 8: just being a guy that I wanted when I was
• 15:26
  Speaker 8: a rookie, just trying to get 'em any types of nuggets.
• 15:28
  Speaker 1: Uh, I I have to make him a better football player.
• 15:31
  Speaker 1: So that's really that's really it. Honestly, you've seen some
• 15:34
  Speaker 1: of your versative to the inside, and I don't just
• 15:36
  Speaker 1: wind it up anywhere on the disorders at it. It's
• 15:39
  Speaker 1: it's cool. I've been playing more so, you know, inside here.
• 15:42
  Speaker 8: But it's it's cool that, you know, cause my little
• 15:44
  Speaker 8: give me give me some reps outside and you know,
• 15:46
  Speaker 8: you know, getting adjusted to the defense.
• 15:48
  Speaker 1: And understanding how how we wanna play.
• 15:50
  Speaker 8: But I I feel like I I can do both
• 15:51
  Speaker 8: here honestly, So I'm I'm excited to see, you know,
• 15:54
  Speaker 8: what they they they want me to do on the
• 15:55
  Speaker 8: defensive end, but I'm I'm here for the challenge, you know.
• 15:58
  Speaker 1: So I'm I'm willing'em do whatever and you know, make
• 16:00
  Speaker 1: this defense better. Very intense, very intense.
• 16:04
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 16:04
  Speaker 1: Yeah, So he coached at Michigan too, So it's a
• 16:07
  Speaker 1: few ties that we have.
• 16:08
  Speaker 8: And all the guys that you know coach, I mean,
• 16:10
  Speaker 8: played with him or played under him. They love him,
• 16:12
  Speaker 8: and so do I love you know, his energy and
• 16:15
  Speaker 8: his passionate, his passion for the game, and you know,
• 16:17
  Speaker 8: his his attention to detail, you know, just the techniques
• 16:21
  Speaker 8: and the different calls and stuff like that, and the
• 16:23
  Speaker 8: love he has for his players. You can already tell
• 16:25
  Speaker 8: that he loves us and he wants to go out
• 16:26
  Speaker 8: there and play really good football.
• 16:28
  Speaker 1: And I feel like we gonna do that.
• 16:31
  Speaker 5: Anything else.
• 16:33
  Speaker 9: Thanks short from the offense and the guys that I
• 16:35
  Speaker 9: guess as they try and kind of get it under
• 16:37
  Speaker 9: their belts, a lot of them been talking about just
• 16:39
  Speaker 9: how many layers there is to learn.
• 16:41
  Speaker 7: Yeah, there's definitely a lot of details that the guys
• 16:43
  Speaker 7: are working at. We're getting down. Uh, the progress is
• 16:46
  Speaker 7: one of those things that's incremental. It's day by day,
• 16:48
  Speaker 7: and then you kind of look back after a week
• 16:50
  Speaker 7: or two weeks or three weeks and recognize how much
• 16:53
  Speaker 7: you've really moved from that initial starting point. So it's
• 16:55
  Speaker 7: hard to notice some of that progress on a day
• 16:57
  Speaker 7: to day basis because it is so incremental. It's one percent,
• 17:01
  Speaker 7: two percent, three percent here and there. But when you
• 17:03
  Speaker 7: add it up at the end, you turn around and
• 17:05
  Speaker 7: you have something something to be proud about or now.
• 17:09
  Speaker 7: As opposed to OTAs and Manward, I think just the
• 17:13
  Speaker 7: culmination of everything you've worked towards, really that level of mastery.
• 17:18
  Speaker 7: Even if you're not at mastery, you're working towards that
• 17:20
  Speaker 7: level of mastery that some of the guys have probably
• 17:22
  Speaker 7: talked about trying to get it automatic. Just that play speed,
• 17:25
  Speaker 7: that processing speed, the way they work, that thing speeding
• 17:28
  Speaker 7: up when they're out on the field. I think you
• 17:30
  Speaker 7: look at that their level of execution and operation, the
• 17:33
  Speaker 7: details that show up. It's a bunch of little things
• 17:35
  Speaker 7: that go into it, but really it's everything that you're
• 17:38
  Speaker 7: working towards. Everything matters out there, So there's not one
• 17:40
  Speaker 7: thing in particular, but you would like to see all
• 17:42
  Speaker 7: of that stuff to continue to evolve.
• 17:44
  Speaker 3: Are you starting to see the young guys kind.
• 17:45
  Speaker 8: Of settle away?
• 17:46
  Speaker 3: How they have like a found dozen practices.
• 17:47
  Speaker 5: On the go.
• 17:49
  Speaker 3: I think there are flashes here and there.
• 17:50
  Speaker 7: I think it's probably on an individual basis, but it's
• 17:53
  Speaker 7: good to see the guys. You guys saw some of
• 17:54
  Speaker 7: the younger guys out there making place today. It's good
• 17:57
  Speaker 7: to see them get the opportunities and flash when their
• 17:59
  Speaker 7: numbers call.
• 18:00
  Speaker 9: Is it tough to get a feel where the running
• 18:02
  Speaker 9: backs and the running game are at at this time
• 18:04
  Speaker 9: of the year.
• 18:04
  Speaker 7: No pads, that kind of that's always difficult. That's kind
• 18:06
  Speaker 7: of the nature of the Beasts at this time of
• 18:08
  Speaker 7: year without the offensive line with pads on. Defensive line,
• 18:11
  Speaker 7: without pads on, there's not true holes. You're not declaring blocks.
• 18:15
  Speaker 7: So it's easy to second guess the guys or say
• 18:17
  Speaker 7: this was a sack, this was a bad run, this
• 18:19
  Speaker 7: was a good run.
• 18:19
  Speaker 3: But that's kind of the nature of practicing during this
• 18:22
  Speaker 3: time of the year.
• 18:23
  Speaker 2: I just talk to brenton straight.
• 18:25
  Speaker 5: He said, heresys to take more of the leadership role
• 18:27
  Speaker 5: this season.
• 18:28
  Speaker 2: What have you seen from him so far?
• 18:31
  Speaker 7: I think he's his work ethic first and foremost is
• 18:34
  Speaker 7: hopefully a leadership attribute that the guys can model and
• 18:38
  Speaker 7: see what he does on a day to day basis.
• 18:40
  Speaker 7: But I think from a leadership standpoint and just from
• 18:44
  Speaker 7: a player's standpoint, you see a guy with a lot
• 18:47
  Speaker 7: of potential to continue to grow, whether it's in the
• 18:49
  Speaker 7: past game, the run game. I got with a lot
• 18:51
  Speaker 7: of physical traits that can be that balanced tight end
• 18:54
  Speaker 7: and do a lot of different things that this offense
• 18:56
  Speaker 7: will ask him to do. I think the encouraging thing
• 18:58
  Speaker 7: is the type of guy he is in the he works.
• 19:00
  Speaker 7: If he continues to work at it, you see the
• 19:02
  Speaker 7: potential and you see the opportunity for growth, not just
• 19:05
  Speaker 7: throughout this spring, but hopefully into training camp and beyond.
• 19:08
  Speaker 1: It's just got report on DV Travis.
• 19:11
  Speaker 7: I know I like him a lot better on the
• 19:13
  Speaker 7: other side of the ball. That's about the end of
• 19:14
  Speaker 7: my scouting report. Yeah, just get him on the other
• 19:16
  Speaker 7: side of the ball. I'll enjoy it much more on
• 19:18
  Speaker 7: Sundays when he's not going against us.
• 19:21
  Speaker 1: How is the Trevor hunder progress made before starting off?
• 19:24
  Speaker 7: Some things, I think he's progressed in a lot of ways.
• 19:28
  Speaker 7: I think first and foremost learning the offense. Like we
• 19:30
  Speaker 7: talked about, it's a lot to learn. There are a
• 19:32
  Speaker 7: lot of layers, a lot of details, and that can
• 19:35
  Speaker 7: hinder a guy's play speed or processing speed. And I
• 19:38
  Speaker 7: think as he's continued to work at that and study,
• 19:41
  Speaker 7: you see the effect that it has physically in terms
• 19:44
  Speaker 7: of playing fast, confidence and comfortability, taking drops, techniques, fundamentals
• 19:49
  Speaker 7: those types of things that show up on seven on
• 19:51
  Speaker 7: seven or team periods that might be easier to see
• 19:53
  Speaker 7: on the field. But I think the mental growth as
• 19:56
  Speaker 7: well as that physical growth, whether it's individual period, those
• 19:59
  Speaker 7: fundamentals that were working, you know on all in all
• 20:01
  Speaker 7: has come together to a level of comfortability that will
• 20:04
  Speaker 7: be closer to what we get on game day. But
• 20:06
  Speaker 7: I think he knows, we all know that's still not
• 20:08
  Speaker 7: to where ultimately he can be. So it's a work
• 20:11
  Speaker 7: in progress. But you know, I'm appreciative of the work
• 20:13
  Speaker 7: he's put in thus far. And you kind of have
• 20:16
  Speaker 7: a little conversations in distiny read so just what is
• 20:19
  Speaker 7: it like being able to kind.
• 20:20
  Speaker 1: Of course correct in that moment rather than you know,
• 20:22
  Speaker 1: obviously you're going to watch the people look at the film,
• 20:24
  Speaker 1: but have those little boments.
• 20:26
  Speaker 3: Yeah, there are little things here and there.
• 20:28
  Speaker 7: Some are better done immediately after the place, some are
• 20:30
  Speaker 7: better done in the meeting room or at the end
• 20:33
  Speaker 7: of practice, or whenever the time is right. But he's
• 20:36
  Speaker 7: been really good about taking coaching and progressing and learning
• 20:40
  Speaker 7: from one rep to the next, taking each rep as
• 20:42
  Speaker 7: its own. So fortunate to have a guy who's willing
• 20:46
  Speaker 7: to do that in order to improve on a rep
• 20:48
  Speaker 7: to rep basis, or play to play basi, or even
• 20:50
  Speaker 7: rack to rack in between periods. Well, I got that
• 20:57
  Speaker 7: question last time, thankfully, I actually have a planned now.
• 21:03
  Speaker 3: Uh, he does not.
• 21:04
  Speaker 7: I don't know the phone situation exactly yet, so I'm
• 21:07
  Speaker 7: still doing.
• 21:07
  Speaker 3: Some of the logistics.
• 21:08
  Speaker 7: I have flights booked and a bunch of stuff booked,
• 21:10
  Speaker 7: but I don't have everything booked yet. But yeah, I'm
• 21:12
  Speaker 7: excited for the excited for the summer.
• 21:15
  Speaker 3: Cool,
