  Speaker 2: ready to go.
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: What do you like about more profferenses right now?
• 0:49
  Speaker 2: Well, we're everyone in the NFL is undefeated right now,

• 0:56
  Speaker 2: front of us and a big opportunity in front of us.
• 0:59
  Speaker 2: So our guys ready to attack it. But where we're
• 1:02
  Speaker 2: at is up to our guys to go show where
• 1:05
  Speaker 2: we're at on Sunday.
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: Most curious about saying, and you haven't seen yet what I'm.
• 1:09
  Speaker 2: Thinking about, you know, it's a It's just as exciting
• 1:14
  Speaker 2: to get get the season going. This is this is
• 1:17
  Speaker 2: the highest level of competition in sport. Here is the NFL,
• 1:20
  Speaker 2: and and our guys are have been really impressive throughout
• 1:22
  Speaker 2: training camp, but nothing matters until that ball is snapped
• 1:25
  Speaker 2: and you go play four quarters of football. So just
• 1:28
  Speaker 2: excited to see our guys compete, whether it's you or
• 1:30
  Speaker 2: your brother Kyle Tryn, you've worked with them, how much
• 1:33
  Speaker 2: just growing out the.
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: Football that you guys did shape you are?
• 1:39
  Speaker 2: You know, I think just football overall is just such
• 1:41
  Speaker 2: a great game that that helps you as a competitor,
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: helps you in all facets of your life. And I
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: think I'd just been blessed to have a great mom
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: and dad that that brought me up and so many
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: other ways other than football. Lucky to be to grow
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: up in this, in this business, but more fortunate and
• 1:57
  Speaker 2: blessed to you know, have a mom and dad that
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: really didn't focus on that as much it's about the family,
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: it's about going to school, it's about getting education. And
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: I'm I'm really really lucky to have that in my life.
• 2:09
  Speaker 3: You mentioned you assume you just focused on the Koobiac
• 2:12
  Speaker 3: and Shanahan offenses your whole life. Are there always outside that,
• 2:15
  Speaker 3: that family tree, that.
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: That you respect. Yeah?
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: Absolutely, you know, it's all it's all football. We're all
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: we're all running similar plays, We're all trying to get
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: ten yards. There's different ways of communicating, you know, And
• 2:27
  Speaker 2: I've been lucky to be in different different language systems,
• 2:31
  Speaker 2: whether it's like an air raid or you know, a
• 2:33
  Speaker 2: digit system, and it's it's all football. It's all similar,
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: and it's just it's about the players, not the coaches.
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: You mentioned your.
• 2:39
  Speaker 2: Dad, you know, growing up seeing what he was able
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: accomplish as an NFL coach would deserve a moment the
• 2:44
  Speaker 2: time that you realized you wanted to follow in that trajectory,
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: that coaching was an avenue for yourself as well. I
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: think it's just something that built up over time after
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: you know, I think all of us dream of playing
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: forever when you when you when you play, and eventually
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: that day ends and you start thinking of what's what's next?
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: And I was really four to get get a start
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: with Mike Sherman at Texas A and m so really
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: grateful for him moving me from defense to offense and
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: and getting me started there.
• 3:07
  Speaker 3: So, yeah, not only do you have a new defensive
• 3:11
  Speaker 3: coordinator across the ball, but they have a bunch of
• 3:14
  Speaker 3: new players.
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: A lot of them are rookies.
• 3:16
  Speaker 3: So how do you go about preparing when there's that
• 3:18
  Speaker 3: much unknown on the other side.
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's always the case with the first game of
• 3:22
  Speaker 2: the year. A lot of a lot of new faces
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: in there. But well, we know that, you know, we
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: know it's a it's been one of the best defenses
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: in the NFL, and we know they have great players.
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: They have Hall of Fame players on that team, and
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: we're we're focusing on ourselves and we know that there's
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: gonna be plenty of things that happened in the game
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: that hasn't happened on film, and that's just part of
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: the first game of the NFL.
• 3:44
  Speaker 3: Sam's talked about his year in San Francisco is being
• 3:46
  Speaker 3: like a pretty fortunitive poet with growth for him, Well,
• 3:49
  Speaker 3: what do you what stands out about that year from
• 3:51
  Speaker 3: your standpoint working.
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: Sam just his humility, you know, coming from being a
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: starter to take in a backup role in the way
• 3:59
  Speaker 2: that the that he you know, used it as an
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: opportunity to improve and support the brock at the time.
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: So that just speaks a lot to him as a man.
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: You know, he's humble, he's a hard worker, and uh
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: not surprised by his success.
• 4:12
  Speaker 3: We didn't see Ken Walker playing the three Sason, just
• 4:15
  Speaker 3: what what have you seen him in practice and kind
• 4:16
  Speaker 3: of where.
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: You're expecting day.
• 4:18
  Speaker 2: You know, I've seen the same guy on tape that
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: from from last season, very explosive playmaker that you know,
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: has really done a great job of battling through an
• 4:27
  Speaker 2: injury and building up his reps over time and he's
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: ready to go someday.
• 4:31
  Speaker 3: Was there a moment you remember during training camp or
• 4:33
  Speaker 3: Oka's where Tory Wharton did enough where you were like,
• 4:37
  Speaker 3: all right, I'm okay moving on from a guy in
• 4:39
  Speaker 3: MBS that the only guy that played in your system
• 4:41
  Speaker 3: last year.
• 4:43
  Speaker 2: It's just such a competitive training camp and that that
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: same thing could be said about you know, about Dreek,
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: about about Cody. You know, we had a really strong
• 4:50
  Speaker 2: receiving corps. You know, coach by Frisman Jackson. That's does
• 4:53
  Speaker 2: a great job preparing those guys and every one of
• 4:55
  Speaker 2: them is going to contribute throughout the season, and that's
• 4:58
  Speaker 2: just part of the part of the league. It's through
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: injuries or guys that are practicing better at the time.
• 5:02
  Speaker 2: It's just it's so competitive every day.
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: What he stands out to.
• 5:06
  Speaker 2: You about Brock being done with working with him too,
• 5:08
  Speaker 2: like as a quarterback, what are some of the traits
• 5:10
  Speaker 2: and stuff that kind of you remember from working with
• 5:13
  Speaker 2: him as well? Yeah, you know, uh, bros Brock's an
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: excellent player. Really excited that you got that extension, well deserved.
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: Just more worried about our guys, you know, and putting
• 5:23
  Speaker 2: our best foot forward this weekend.
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: It was a pre season. But what's stood out to
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: you about.
• 5:27
  Speaker 2: The offensive line what they did just extremely coachable and hardworking.
• 5:31
  Speaker 2: You know, there's it's a it's a group that you know,
• 5:33
  Speaker 2: all they all they hear about is is you know,
• 5:36
  Speaker 2: the year before and things that didn't go well, and
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: they've just put their head down and gone to work.
• 5:40
  Speaker 2: They've been They've been really fun to work with. They're
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: a gritty group and they got seventeen games in a
• 5:46
  Speaker 2: row right in front of them, so looking forward to
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: go see them go to work.
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: We've talked about how it's simpler this year, you asking
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: to have been doing more less in the system you're
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: incomparedive before. Has that's shown up, the simplicity and.
• 5:59
  Speaker 2: The play you know, I can't speak to the last year.
• 6:03
  Speaker 2: I will speak to the guys that coach him. You know, John,
• 6:07
  Speaker 2: and Rick and and j O and Q. I think
• 6:09
  Speaker 2: those guys are great teachers and do keep it simple,
• 6:12
  Speaker 2: and that's that's the mark of a of a dang
• 6:13
  Speaker 2: good coach. And we have really four great offensivelying coaches.
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: Lucas getting a new deal today.
• 6:19
  Speaker 3: What about his game depreciations?
• 6:22
  Speaker 2: Uh, you know, it's just a number one. Abe is
• 6:25
  Speaker 2: a worker. You know, he's tough, He's a worker, and
• 6:28
  Speaker 2: I know he's been through been through plenty in his
• 6:31
  Speaker 2: career injury wise, and he's really you know, battled in
• 6:34
  Speaker 2: practice every day and he's working to get better. Couldn't
• 6:37
  Speaker 2: be more happy for him and really happy for the
• 6:39
  Speaker 2: organization to sign him.
• 6:42
  Speaker 3: It's a really young offensive line group. Who do you
• 6:45
  Speaker 3: see emerging as kind.
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: Of leaders in that ring?
• 6:48
  Speaker 2: Uh? Their tape will prove that you know, they've got
• 6:50
  Speaker 2: a full training camp of who we think it's gonna be.
• 6:53
  Speaker 2: But if it's just one guy, we're in big trouble.
• 6:56
  Speaker 2: We need all five to step up, plus you know,
• 6:58
  Speaker 2: the extra tackle, plus the you know who's who's backing up,
• 7:01
  Speaker 2: And there's gonna be practice squad guys at play at
• 7:04
  Speaker 2: some point this year this season. So it's a it's
• 7:06
  Speaker 2: a it's a group where you're you're always developing the
• 7:09
  Speaker 2: guys that are on the practice squad and know that,
• 7:12
  Speaker 2: uh you're not. It's pretty rare to have all five
• 7:14
  Speaker 2: play the whole season, and uh so our coaches are
• 7:17
  Speaker 2: getting them all ready to go.
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: What can fans expect from Laylen? No road regular season game?
• 7:24
  Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, just he's gonna get opportunities and we're
• 7:26
  Speaker 2: looking forward to to seeing them get down the field.
