  Speaker 1: Can you do without it? You're embracing the under your
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: life both. I could do without it and I'm embracing it. Yeah,
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: it's fine. It's I mean as a different little flare
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: kind of makes camp a little bit interesting, and I
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: guess as you get into the dog days of things,
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: that kind of makes it maybe a little bit more fun.
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: So he did some travel in this offseason. How is that?
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: It's great? Yeah? I went to Italy and big history nerds,
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: So I was just basically just hoot and hollering the
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: whole time about all the history that was there. So
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: it's pretty awesome. Yeah, what kind of history were you're
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: interested in visiting there? I mean the Roman history, the
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: history of the Catholic Church, all the architecture everything. Yeah,
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: it was awesome. You guys, obviously you turn everybody on
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: the starting line by continuity. As you're now a week
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: plus into camp, how you seeing that show? I mean,
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: I think it's pretty night and day from where we
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: started at last year. Speaking for myself, like, it's it's
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: much much more confident in like the play calling and
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: running the plays, just because you know, when we were
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: starting up last year, you know, you're still kind of learning,
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: you know, learning to all the calls in the adjustments
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: and then going out and executing all of them after
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: you know, a day of install. And now we've had
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: basically a whole year of install with I mean, obviously
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: coach Fleury's offense is a little bit different, but a
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: lot of carryovers, so it makes it a little bit easier,
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: especially you've ever worked with Anthony Brackord as well, kind
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: of next year for a couple of years. Now, how
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: much is that home? Just kind of having the continuity
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: and you get it's great. I mean, it's good to
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: know the kind of style of play that I'm going
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: to be lining up against. And ab keeps getting better,
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: so I'm excited to see what he can do this year.
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: Like mentioned, Dwayne Brown was out there and talked to
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: some guy's line to chat with him at all. I honestly,
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: I had no idea that was Dwayne Brown. I mean, yeah,
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: just like I hope I look that way when I'm
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: done playing. But hopefully, hopefully tomorrow I heard he's gonna
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: be here tomorrow, so hopefully I'll be able to say
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: what's up to him in a broader picture, like when
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: when legends are around, guys you can talk to, Like,
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: what does that do for players when there's former guys
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: to come back. I mean, I I mean, for me,
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: it's just like perspective, you know, because like I mean,
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: I remember when I was a rookie, I met all
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: the all the LB guys and then all the guys
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: on offense from you know, the championship team and you know,
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: and they knew my name, which was pretty cool. So
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: it was just I mean, for me, it's like it's
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: just kind of a reminder of where I came from
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: and where I'm at now. But both's a good rookie.
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: He's he's the only rookie and he's we're finding him
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: a lot in the old line room. He owes a
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: lot of money to us right now, but he's he's
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: taking it on the chin like a champ. I mean,
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: he's got an attitude about him and it's great to him.
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: He's getting a lot better. So it's really really I'm
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: happy for him. It's good to see him grow find money. Yeah, man,
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: it's great. I Mean, the rookies last year maybe had
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: to do it twice, and I think he's done it
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: six or seven times now, so he's just like, guys, like,
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: what do I do? But I think it's great. I
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: mean we were all giving him a bunch of shit
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: about it, but it's it's good. It's a good time.
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: That's confidential. I can't reveal that just I mean, no, yeah,
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: oh yeah, I'm gonna get fine for talking to you
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: guys right now. But yeah, the finds are pretty ridiculous.
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: It's just kind of our own little fun thing where
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: you talking about continuity. You're two hundred John Ben? How
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: much he meant to your guys? What's the uh? Coach?
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: Jab's a I mean a phenomenal coach. I mean, you
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: know the success that we have is directly attributed to him.
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: I mean all about the details, all about the I
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: mean nothing gets by him. And you know, he's been
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: in this league for for a reason for a while,
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: and it's showing up on the old line. It showed
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: up last year and it will to show up again
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: this year. And we're really fortunate to have him as
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: a coach. It seems like we've gotten to see more
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: of his personality this year, Like I'm practice fan of
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: the stuff, and how would you describe the way that
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: John Bett's personality is how it helps you reach for players.
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: That coach is old school, but he also is like
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: I mean, he knows how to connect with his players
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: and knows how to approach it, approach us and our
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: strengths and our weaknesses to both encourage us and get
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: us better. And that is I think kind of the
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: sign of the ultimate coach, you know, when they can
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: do that and have success effectively, which she's had. So
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: a position coach that's a metal head like you what
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: you are as school, we can relate about it. I mean,
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: I don't know if you guys knows about JB JB
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: Shreds on guitar, if you've never seen him play before.
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: That dude is a kick ass guitarist. So it's awesome.
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: I love it. We get to chat about, you know,
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: the types of metal and music we like and stuff.
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: So it's pretty cool. Hey, with somebody who linds up
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: next to all the tight ends, what do you make
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: of that group? It seems like it's really deep. With
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: the guys you saw last year, calor even like contributing
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: good Chuckle last year with Elijah back Kelsney. But what's
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: that kind of do for you? Guys that are like
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: you kinda to do. I just think they're great communicators.
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: They they want to get better each and every day.
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: They're curious about calls and such, and if they don't
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: know something like, we talk about it rather than just
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: letting things kind of exist, you know, and letting problems
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: just kind of grow, you know. So we have good
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: relationships with them, and I'm excited to see what they
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: can do else.
