• 0:03
  Speaker 1: ever think about the legacy of like the guys that
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: you're playing with? And I asked, because of Tyson's deal,

  Speaker 1: he's gonna be.

• 0:15
  Speaker 2: I mean, you know, when you play good football, you
• 0:17
  Speaker 2: deserve to get paid, you know. So that's just a
• 0:20
  Speaker 2: testament of the hard work they put in throughout the years,
• 0:23
  Speaker 2: and then the trust that the organization has in the guys.
• 0:26
  Speaker 2: And as long as we keep building on this, as
• 0:27
  Speaker 2: long as we keep the core oh Man disguise the limit.
• 0:31
  Speaker 2: This year is a big year for us and we're
• 0:33
  Speaker 2: expecting none but the best.
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: The Deacons officers has really shown out in his first
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: two days of camp.
• 0:39
  Speaker 3: Could you talk a one bit about what you.
• 0:41
  Speaker 4: Think to be back? Ryan Wilson is gonna be on
• 0:44
  Speaker 4: this defense even though.
• 0:45
  Speaker 3: You guys are not in pads yet. I think it's
• 0:48
  Speaker 3: the buying in.
• 0:49
  Speaker 2: You know, we want to do something that's never been done,
• 0:51
  Speaker 2: so we have to do things that we've never done before.
• 0:54
  Speaker 2: So you know, he's taking that approach every single day
• 0:57
  Speaker 2: we do indies all the way up the team toocus
• 1:00
  Speaker 2: on the details from the hand placement to the feet,
• 1:02
  Speaker 2: making sure that everything is in line because he had
• 1:05
  Speaker 2: you know, every coach has their ways of playing, you know,
• 1:08
  Speaker 2: but for us, it's he's teaching us to play fast
• 1:11
  Speaker 2: and play physical.
• 1:12
  Speaker 3: Get your hands on somebody and.
• 1:13
  Speaker 2: Strike them as hard as you can, as fast as
• 1:16
  Speaker 2: you can, as many time as you can.
• 1:18
  Speaker 3: And if we could keep.
• 1:19
  Speaker 2: That focus with the discipline, because the technique works, so
• 1:21
  Speaker 2: we can stay disciplined through the heat, you know, from
• 1:24
  Speaker 2: early in the game too late.
• 1:26
  Speaker 3: To the overtimes to November. Man, we'll be unstoppable.
• 1:30
  Speaker 2: How much do you think that approach is Also we're
• 1:34
  Speaker 2: going to be beneficial for Trevor seeing what you hope
• 1:38
  Speaker 2: will be a better defense every day here. I mean,
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: we got you know, we got we got goals to
• 1:45
  Speaker 2: be the number one defense in the NFL. So you know,
• 1:48
  Speaker 2: that's our standard, and the offense has their standard to
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: probably be the number one offense in the league. So
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: if we're not competing at a high level, we're not
• 1:55
  Speaker 2: giving them the best looks that we can. What good
• 1:57
  Speaker 2: are we doing to this team's totality? So you know,
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: we come at it every single day.
• 2:01
  Speaker 3: No let up.
• 2:02
  Speaker 2: No, you know we if we can end this day,
• 2:04
  Speaker 2: would a win? As a defense, They're going to get
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: better cause they just face against a number one defense
• 2:08
  Speaker 2: and then that's what the goal.
• 2:10
  Speaker 4: How long did you consider the hind down name change?
• 2:14
  Speaker 4: When did you first come to your mind today I
• 2:16
  Speaker 4: might consider doing this working?
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: Uh, I mean probably like two years ago. You know,
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: I've always resonated with Hines. You know, like, like I said,
• 2:27
  Speaker 2: I grew up behind. I grew up behind, so I
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: was known as that, So I never really paid too
• 2:31
  Speaker 2: much attention to it. But I knew that my legacy
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: was you know, held dating back all the way back
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: living in Alabamba, my first three years of high school
• 2:39
  Speaker 2: and having the one to come back to finish high
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: school because my whole family went there, being a part
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: of that legacy, and then building that on and carrying
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: on and creating my own and then creating my own
• 2:48
  Speaker 2: for my family. So I just thought it was right
• 2:50
  Speaker 2: to really, you know, dig deep and find the right
• 2:53
  Speaker 2: people to help me get it done.
• 2:54
  Speaker 3: And when we got it done.
• 2:56
  Speaker 4: What's been the reaction from friends and family?
• 3:00
  Speaker 3: Uh?
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: About time really, you know, but they're very supportive and
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: you know, they're happy that I made the decision, both
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: sides of my family, and you know I can carry
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: on the legacy for them.
• 3:12
  Speaker 4: So I'm curious in your new contract, are you Josh
• 3:16
  Speaker 4: Rine down in that time?
• 3:18

• 3:59
  Speaker 2: my knowledge, giving them things that I went through and
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: seeing that they're you know, at a phase that I
• 4:05
  Speaker 2: can help them in and being vocal on that. It's
• 4:07
  Speaker 2: not really about being vocal and screaming and ah, it's
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: you know, if you see some address it good, bad
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: or whatever, you know, they're gonna take it. They're gonna
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: take it, but I'm being rial to them. I want
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: to see them be great. I've worked in my process
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: to get to where I'm at, and you know, I
• 4:21
  Speaker 2: trusted it.
• 4:22
  Speaker 3: So if I can give you.
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: A little bit of what I can give you a
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: little bit of my knowledge, then I feel like I'm
• 4:27
  Speaker 2: doing a good job.
• 4:28
  Speaker 3: So it is what it is.
• 4:30
  Speaker 4: Your work affic is pretty well. Now what is improvement
• 4:34
  Speaker 4: that he like for you?
• 4:35
  Speaker 3: Ys?
• 4:35
  Speaker 2: Improvement is uh really nutrition? You know, hiring a chef
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: full time to help me, you know, get my diet correct.
• 4:43
  Speaker 2: I always thought I was eating the right foods, but
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: I was training in Arizona and I and I had
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: a chef out there, and I saw the improvement that
• 4:49
  Speaker 2: I've had throughout the days and the energy that I have.
• 4:52
  Speaker 2: So you know, that's another step that I can invest in. Then,
• 4:55
  Speaker 2: you know what I'm willing to take it the field,
• 4:58
  Speaker 2: just being you know, comf and everything, trusting in the
• 5:01
  Speaker 2: technique and you know, keep realizing that I'm really that dude.
• 5:06
  Speaker 3: What is this first week about for the big guys?
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: Alignement you and the offensive line pads go on next week,
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: So what can you get accomplished to the first.
• 5:14
  Speaker 2: Five placement, you know, And that's one thing because Ryan
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: is really harping on this first ramp up period.
• 5:19
  Speaker 3: It's just really hand placement. We can't drive him back.
• 5:22
  Speaker 2: Well, we can work on a drive back, but we
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: can't put our full effort in it. So it has
• 5:26
  Speaker 2: to be quick hands, violent hands, and it has to
• 5:29
  Speaker 2: be effective and stopping your feet. So you know, we
• 5:31
  Speaker 2: can really focus on these things now that when we
• 5:33
  Speaker 2: get to the game, I mean, when we get to pads,
• 5:36
  Speaker 2: continue to do the same thing, but now put a
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: little bit more oof, you know, put a little moreof
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: in it.
• 5:42
  Speaker 3: But other than that, man, we're gonna compete every day.
• 5:44
  Speaker 2: We're gonna try to get better every day, and uh
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: we're work going to be the best.
• 5:49
  Speaker 3: Hope you found.
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: How how is that different?
• 5:52
  Speaker 4: And as a player, how are you receiving that?
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: Like he gets down in the drill and he'll show
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: you exactly what he's looking for.
• 5:58
  Speaker 3: How has that been different?
• 5:59
  Speaker 2: You knows what he wants, you know, he knows what
• 6:01
  Speaker 2: a good defense looks like. You know, I've have you know,
• 6:04
  Speaker 2: I have a lot of talks with him and and
• 6:07
  Speaker 2: I just want to just see where his head's at
• 6:09
  Speaker 2: and see what see how he thinks, and I'm not
• 6:11
  Speaker 2: trying to steal the way he thinks.
• 6:12
  Speaker 3: Just understand the way he.
• 6:13
  Speaker 2: Thinks and allow me to as a better leader to
• 6:17
  Speaker 2: get that message out, you know, because you know the
• 6:20
  Speaker 2: way he says things could be interpreted different to a
• 6:22
  Speaker 2: lot of people. But if you can understand what he's saying,
• 6:25
  Speaker 2: then me as a leader can Hey, this is what
• 6:28
  Speaker 2: you're supposed to do. This is the model, this is
• 6:31
  Speaker 2: the way we're supposed to do. Like again, we're trying
• 6:33
  Speaker 2: to do things we had never done before. You know,
• 6:35
  Speaker 2: he's been played at a high level. Well, he's coached
• 6:37
  Speaker 2: at a high level. His coach a lot of individual
• 6:38
  Speaker 2: players that played at a high level, so he knows
• 6:40
  Speaker 2: what it looks like. And you know, if we want
• 6:43
  Speaker 2: to we have the talent. So now we just got
• 6:45
  Speaker 2: to keep buying in and executing the call. Oh sorry, yeah,
• 6:50
  Speaker 2: the password summit with Max and Bong and all that.
• 6:54
  Speaker 3: What what what's that experience.
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: Like for you?
• 6:56
  Speaker 3: What do you get out of man?
• 6:57
  Speaker 2: I think it was just cool to be around the guys,
• 6:59
  Speaker 2: you know, to really know that I'm that guy, you know,
• 7:02
  Speaker 2: So for me it was like but respectfully, you know,
• 7:06
  Speaker 2: still talking, still learning, but for me this year, going
• 7:09
  Speaker 2: to this year, I was looked upon one of the coaches,
• 7:12
  Speaker 2: you know, trying to get my knowledge out of the game,
• 7:14
  Speaker 2: you know, from the from the other guys that was there.
• 7:16
  Speaker 2: So I thought that was a cool, cool lesson, but
• 7:19
  Speaker 2: also realizing that, like, you know, I'm not done yet,
• 7:23
  Speaker 2: you know, and hopefully they're not, and they're the better
• 7:25
  Speaker 2: they get, then the better I get because I can't
• 7:28
  Speaker 2: let them out do me.
• 7:29
  Speaker 3: So you gotta work a little harder.
• 7:31
  Speaker 4: Josh, if you asked this earlier, I apologize.
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: With all the defensive coaching changes, how important is it
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: that those shoe's back.
• 7:40
  Speaker 2: Oh, it's I'm not gonna say comfort, but it gives
• 7:44
  Speaker 2: that sense of like, you know, because he's learning too,
• 7:48
  Speaker 2: you know, everybody is, all the other coaches.
• 7:50
  Speaker 3: I feel like I have been under his staff.
• 7:52
  Speaker 2: So I feel like with Coachhu, we're all learning together,
• 7:55
  Speaker 2: but we're all growing together. He has but Coach Chui's
• 7:59
  Speaker 2: is a great person to pick up on a lot
• 8:01
  Speaker 2: of things, and he can kind of, you know, dumb
• 8:04
  Speaker 2: it down for us, you know, and so now it
• 8:07
  Speaker 2: allows us to play a little faster and once we
• 8:09
  Speaker 2: really get the hang of what the terminology really is,
• 8:12
  Speaker 2: you know how it's fits in the defense that we've done.
• 8:14
  Speaker 2: Now we could compare and now we can play a
• 8:16
  Speaker 2: lot faster. So just having that trust with him is like,
• 8:19
  Speaker 2: you know, we're not learning nothing, like we're learning a
• 8:21
  Speaker 2: new defense. But I know how to talk to Koch Shue.
• 8:24
  Speaker 2: I know the questions I can ask him. I know
• 8:26
  Speaker 2: when the work will not the work. He understands us,
• 8:28
  Speaker 2: he loves us. He treats us well, hell's hot, his
• 8:30
  Speaker 2: hell outside, and you know he has moments in the
• 8:33
  Speaker 2: day where all right, guys, you know, get your breath back.
• 8:38
  Speaker 3: A lot of people don't got that, you know, So
• 8:42
  Speaker 3: love my dog Boots,
