  Speaker 3: Okay, alright, Ju he's a captain obviously, Doug made it
• 0:38
  Speaker 3: pretty clear that he's gonna slide to the starting role.

  Speaker 2: Made some plays on the ball, Uh, really good communication
• 0:48
  Speaker 2: on the field, brings a lot of energy, you know,

  Speaker 2: some more of that this week.
• 0:57
  Speaker 3: When we were in camp, he had a pretty couple
• 1:00
  Speaker 3: good days there early on. Did you were you thinking
• 1:02
  Speaker 3: this guy has it? You really shod shot a starting
• 1:06
  Speaker 3: for us.
• 1:06
  Speaker 4: He was on a plan, Yeah, for sure.
• 1:08
  Speaker 2: He was in the plan the whole the whole way,
• 1:10
  Speaker 2: you know, the rotation, the plan from the very beginning,
• 1:13
  Speaker 2: you know. And so he's uh, he made some place.
• 1:15
  Speaker 2: He had a good camp and then had an unfortunate
• 1:18
  Speaker 2: injury and and we changed some things defensively personnel wise
• 1:22
  Speaker 2: because of that.
• 1:23
  Speaker 4: So but we're glad to have him back.
• 1:26
  Speaker 2: It's good to see him out there, fiery, uh, physical,
• 1:29
  Speaker 2: running around, high energy, and so that was good.
• 1:30
  Speaker 4: It was good to have him back, for sure, said
• 1:33
  Speaker 4: he thought, say, it was Mason's best game so far
• 1:35
  Speaker 4: outside of not getting aid down. Is that how you
• 1:37
  Speaker 4: saw it as well?
• 1:39
  Speaker 2: Agree with that. You know, he he passed, rushed a
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: lot better. He was using his hands a lot better,
• 1:43
  Speaker 2: getting off.
• 1:44
  Speaker 4: Blocks, tackles. The batted ball was huge.
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: In the in the the third down and the fringe
• 1:50
  Speaker 2: area that was huge on third down.
• 1:53
  Speaker 4: So he played better.
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: You can see his confidence growing, you know, and sometimes
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: it just takes time. So hopefully we'll continue that this week.
• 2:00
  Speaker 4: Mason said that he thinks a lot of his changes
• 2:02
  Speaker 4: the last couple of weeks months i've been is off
• 2:04
  Speaker 4: the field habits improving.
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: Is that something you've noticed from your perspective?
• 2:07
  Speaker 4: Absolutely?
• 2:08
  Speaker 2: You know, body composition, sleep at night, you know, all
• 2:10
  Speaker 2: that stuff matters, you know, And so uh see him
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: come in the building, you know. So it takes a
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: little bit and and professional football, uh, you know you
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: can see him growing and maturing in those type of things,
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: and you think of what it's what you're seeing on
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: the field.
• 2:25
  Speaker 4: How do you sex celebration? Yeah, I didn't see it,
• 2:31
  Speaker 4: So we'll take a look at it and next week. Alright,
• 2:35
  Speaker 4: I'm sure.
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: You guys, you know all that stuff, take care of
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: your body, do this, do that picture, all that other stuff,
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: getting sleep put? Do they have to hear it from
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: teammates and guys who have been in the league for
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: it to really click for him, Cause that's kind of
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: what it sounded like with Mace.
• 2:50
  Speaker 4: So I think each individual case is its own case,
• 2:53
  Speaker 4: you know. So some guys.
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: Go to some veterans and and follow a veteran uh leadership.
• 2:59
  Speaker 2: Some guys do it on their own, you know, And
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: so everybody's different. So we we treat everybody differently, and
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: the individuals uh to come together and play defense for us.
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: And I think, uh, we have some good leadership on
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: this team, and he's he's learned from some guys that
• 3:13
  Speaker 2: maybe sat him down and said some things to him
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: and get your off the field habits better.
• 3:18
  Speaker 4: And you can see like his body compositions and the
• 3:20
  Speaker 4: way he's eating.
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: And he'll even tell you, you know, I'm eating better, which
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: is a huge thing, you know, and you're seeing you
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: feel like he's playing faster.
• 3:28
  Speaker 4: I think that's the biggest thing. He's playing faster.
• 3:31
  Speaker 2: And then the repetitions, the accumulation of the reps have
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: added up, so he's seeing things faster too.
• 3:37
  Speaker 4: So it's it's I think it's everything. Why has the
• 3:40
  Speaker 4: past rush been so alow what what I'm sure you
• 3:44
  Speaker 4: hoped it would be.
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: It's simply just a matter of some guy's not winning
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: enough one on one on battles. Is it not having
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: that reliable, consistent third rusher.
• 3:53
  Speaker 4: Outside of Trayvon and Josh. Sometime we got to look
• 3:58
  Speaker 4: at Gene.
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: We really need to look at it and find out
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: get to the bottom of exactly what's happening out there.
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: But you know, some we would hoped to have more production.
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: I think for sure. I think everybody you know and
• 4:10
  Speaker 2: all the players and coaches all together would hope to
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: have more production. And I think it's something that we've
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: got to really do a deep dive into and find
• 4:18
  Speaker 2: out and get to the bottom of.
• 4:21
  Speaker 4: Ye Okay.
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: Thank
