• 0:00
  Speaker 1: An Anton.
• 0:01
  Speaker 2: Tyson's just day to day and then Anton had an
• 0:04
  Speaker 2: excuse personal absence.
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: Okay Tyson as far as the injury, it is just
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: day today, Yeah, just day today.
• 0:13
  Speaker 3: Where'd you want to get out.
• 0:14
  Speaker 4: Of through his proctors alignment assignment, getting our cleats in
• 0:20
  Speaker 4: the ground when we have a call.
• 0:23
  Speaker 2: On both sides of the ball.
• 0:24
  Speaker 4: You know, fundamentals, we did a forty play alignment assignment
• 0:30
  Speaker 4: period of just getting the call, getting our cleats in
• 0:33
  Speaker 4: the ground, making loud guttural communication, getting the calls in quickly.
• 0:41
  Speaker 2: That was what we were really kind of focusing on
• 0:43
  Speaker 2: from an emphasis standpoint.
• 0:45
  Speaker 4: Obviously, some of these guys are gonna be a little
• 0:46
  Speaker 4: bit sore that played a lot of snaps in the game,
• 0:48
  Speaker 4: so we were trying to really hone in on the
• 0:53
  Speaker 4: mind got conditioning out of it kind of as well.
• 0:56
  Speaker 4: So that was kind of the thought of today.
• 0:59
  Speaker 5: Obviously, you know one next time you guys play against
• 1:01
  Speaker 5: the Saints. But you feel like guys are kind of
• 1:03
  Speaker 5: taking their heart and realized there's some of the issues
• 1:05
  Speaker 5: that hey there's something when.
• 1:05
  Speaker 2: You clean up right now, i'd hope.
• 1:07
  Speaker 4: So ultimately we're not playing the game as coaches, so
• 1:12
  Speaker 4: the we can only say so much. At some point,
• 1:15
  Speaker 4: the players, you know, they do need to take the
• 1:18
  Speaker 4: ownership being out there, you know, and so so much
• 1:22
  Speaker 4: of what we talked about is until we kind of
• 1:25
  Speaker 4: don't beat ourselves, and then we're not going to probably
• 1:28
  Speaker 4: be able to consistently beat anybody.
• 1:29
  Speaker 5: And then when he went back to the film, because
• 1:31
  Speaker 5: were your impressions of two and seeing him in a
• 1:32
  Speaker 5: live setting, for.
• 1:33
  Speaker 2: I thought he ran it pretty well.
• 1:35
  Speaker 4: Actually, you know, I thought from a physicality standpoint, if
• 1:37
  Speaker 4: you're going to take the positive from the other night,
• 1:40
  Speaker 4: was on both sides.
• 1:41
  Speaker 2: Of the ball. Was physical.
• 1:42
  Speaker 4: We stopped the run and we ran it okay, but
• 1:44
  Speaker 4: we ran it when we kind of needed to and
• 1:46
  Speaker 4: became a little bit more of a throat game. But
• 1:48
  Speaker 4: I thought he, uh, he did some nice things. He
• 1:51
  Speaker 4: was able to make some guys missing the hole. He
• 1:53
  Speaker 4: ran hard, he had good ball security.
• 1:55
  Speaker 3: So I was pleased with two. When you look back
• 1:57
  Speaker 3: at Trevor, what'd you think? Yeah?
• 1:59
  Speaker 2: It was solid. It was he went out and did
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: his job.
• 2:02
  Speaker 3: You know. The one.
• 2:05
  Speaker 4: To BT was something that was kind of a scheme
• 2:08
  Speaker 4: error in a way. You know, he could maybe see
• 2:11
  Speaker 4: that safety and move on and progress don't force it
• 2:14
  Speaker 4: in there.
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: But that was also a crappy play call, so I'll
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: take some of that one.
• 2:20
  Speaker 4: But I thought he, you know, he operated well. You know,
• 2:22
  Speaker 4: we didn't ask him to go and do too much.
• 2:24
  Speaker 4: But it was just solid from an operation standpoint for sure.
• 2:28
  Speaker 5: Talk about the defense after the game just in terms
• 2:30
  Speaker 5: of what you saw on film, how how do you.
• 2:32
  Speaker 3: Feel about it now?
• 2:33
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean, it was disappointing to see some of
• 2:37
  Speaker 4: the communication errors that we did have, but also just
• 2:40
  Speaker 4: you know, alignment assignment issues. You know, you know, we
• 2:44
  Speaker 4: had new systems on both sides of the ball. It's
• 2:47
  Speaker 4: going to probably take a little bit more than a
• 2:49
  Speaker 4: preseason game to to maybe correct some of the things
• 2:53
  Speaker 4: that we wanted to get corrected and play as sound
• 2:56
  Speaker 4: as we would like to play.
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: But I was proud.
• 2:59
  Speaker 4: Of a couple of moments, specifically the fourth down stop
• 3:03
  Speaker 4: when we score a couple of plays later on, which
• 3:05
  Speaker 4: was a huge play in the game. And then at
• 3:07
  Speaker 4: the end of the game when you needed to get
• 3:08
  Speaker 4: a stop in four minute, they stopped the run three
• 3:11
  Speaker 4: times in a row, force a punt and give us
• 3:13
  Speaker 4: a chance to go win the game.
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: So when it mattered, there.
• 3:17
  Speaker 4: Was some some nice plays, you know, some good effort
• 3:20
  Speaker 4: all around, but we need to get some of that
• 3:22
  Speaker 4: stuff fixed and.
• 3:23
  Speaker 3: Interesting Pravis Hunter, what he was able to do? What
• 3:26
  Speaker 3: did you get out of that?
• 3:27
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I think a couple of his just route technique
• 3:31
  Speaker 4: we got to work on, you know, continue to work
• 3:33
  Speaker 4: on it. But I thought he was he made the
• 3:35
  Speaker 4: right decisions. He was his alignment assignment was all proper
• 3:38
  Speaker 4: and clean. Uh, defensively, just got to clean up a
• 3:42
  Speaker 4: few things from an alignment standpoint, and just you know,
• 3:45
  Speaker 4: staying in the run in the fit a little bit
• 3:48
  Speaker 4: tighter on that one run that got out.
• 3:50
  Speaker 2: But you know, that's practice and repetition.
• 3:54
  Speaker 6: If you want to see the starter for this week,
• 3:56
  Speaker 6: too early to tell, what's your practice?
• 3:58
  Speaker 4: Too early to tell? Yeah, we got to pads on tomorrow.
• 4:01
  Speaker 4: We'll have another scrimmage if you will on Thursday. I
• 4:06
  Speaker 4: believe where we'll be able to kind of get after
• 4:08
  Speaker 4: a little bit more see and maybe like make a
• 4:11
  Speaker 4: decision after that.
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: That's right, Yes, as.
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: Far as goes, today was a bit of a frustrating day,
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: or at least it looked like. And he's had a
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: couple of those.
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: What do you say to him?
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: What do you see from him both in drills and
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: then off ball.
• 4:23
  Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, there's not much. You know, I try not to.
• 4:27
  Speaker 4: He's pretty hard on himself and in ways, so I
• 4:31
  Speaker 4: try not to pile on in those moments. And sometimes
• 4:35
  Speaker 4: it's better to let him be and sometimes you got,
• 4:38
  Speaker 4: you know, go and you know, love him up. But
• 4:41
  Speaker 4: you know, I think something that's kind of been consistent is,
• 4:45
  Speaker 4: you know, when the lights come on, he does show up.
• 4:48
  Speaker 4: And that's something that I do enjoy about players that
• 4:52
  Speaker 4: it is different in the game. But things we've mentioned
• 4:55
  Speaker 4: to him is he's not going to surprise anybody this year.
• 4:58
  Speaker 4: But you know, he took the lead by storm in
• 5:00
  Speaker 4: a lot of ways last year and and bald out,
• 5:03
  Speaker 4: but people are going to have more of a plan, doubles,
• 5:07
  Speaker 4: cloud coverages, different things. So just continuing to work on
• 5:11
  Speaker 4: taking your game to the next level.
• 5:13
  Speaker 5: Have you had.
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: Players like that in the past where the lights come on,
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: maybe in practice it's not showing for whatever the reason,
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: but the games happen.
• 5:20
  Speaker 4: And nobody that like really sticks out. But yes, answer,
• 5:24
  Speaker 4: excuse me, answer your question. Yes, like it's you've definitely
• 5:27
  Speaker 4: seen it. I think this may be a little bit
• 5:31
  Speaker 4: just my first time with it at the NFL level, maybe.
• 5:34
  Speaker 2: In a little ways, but I still have a lot
• 5:37
  Speaker 2: of confidence in them.
• 5:39
  Speaker 4: I mean I firmly believe that when when it's really
• 5:43
  Speaker 4: rolling and he's going I have a lot of confidence
• 5:46
  Speaker 4: in BT.
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: And his relationship with Trevor, the connection.
• 5:48
  Speaker 7: How would you evaluate that at a I mean.
• 5:50
  Speaker 4: I think he doesn't stop throwing him and you know,
• 5:53
  Speaker 4: they continue to work at it and there's no uh anks.
• 5:58
  Speaker 2: Or ill feelings. It's just like man, play the next play,
• 6:02
  Speaker 2: move on and keep rolling.
• 6:03
  Speaker 3: What have you seen it on Christian Brawsworld?
• 6:05
  Speaker 5: What kind of opportunity can this be for him? Just
• 6:07
  Speaker 5: with a couple of other corners kind of banged up?
• 6:09
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean braz has done everything we've asked him
• 6:13
  Speaker 4: from from the beginning. He works his tail off. You know,
• 6:17
  Speaker 4: he's quick twitch, he's strong.
• 6:19
  Speaker 2: He failed to run nicely the other night.
• 6:22
  Speaker 4: You know, I think he can has an opportunity to
• 6:25
  Speaker 4: continue to take advantage of those ops. And you know,
• 6:28
  Speaker 4: he's a smart player. He understands, you know, maybe where
• 6:31
  Speaker 4: his strengths and weaknesses are and needs to continue to
• 6:35
  Speaker 4: do good things on special teams as well to continue
• 6:37
  Speaker 4: to try to make this team, and.
• 6:39
  Speaker 5: Then after seeing Dennis card Deck working to the side
• 6:41
  Speaker 5: as long as he has to get back, I wasn't
• 6:42
  Speaker 5: seeing him today, you know, really kind of get immersing things.
• 6:45
  Speaker 4: It's great, you know, he's he's got a great energy,
• 6:47
  Speaker 4: and like I've said before, I really have always respected
• 6:51
  Speaker 4: his game and the way that he approaches things, and
• 6:54
  Speaker 4: so hopefully he can continue to get more and more
• 6:57
  Speaker 4: comfortable to get to a position where.
• 7:00
  Speaker 2: You know, we can get him out on the grass.
• 7:01
  Speaker 8: With the injuries to Buster and Tyson, does that change
• 7:04
  Speaker 8: anything about how you guys use Travis or the plan
• 7:07
  Speaker 8: for him.
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: No.
• 7:08
  Speaker 4: No, We'll continue to do kind of what we've been
• 7:11
  Speaker 4: doing out here, where it's offense defense, offense defense, getting
• 7:15
  Speaker 4: reps on both sides of the ball throughout the course
• 7:16
  Speaker 4: of practice, and maybe I think he's going to be
• 7:19
  Speaker 4: primarily more on defense tomorrow and subbing in a little
• 7:23
  Speaker 4: bit on offense, and then Thursday and the scrimmage he'll
• 7:26
  Speaker 4: do both as well. Again, I mean, just do you
• 7:28
  Speaker 4: let the one seventy yard field goal like move your
• 7:32
  Speaker 4: range back for him at all?
• 7:33
  Speaker 8: Or no?
• 7:33
  Speaker 2: I mean it's hard not to, right, I'm assuming it's
• 7:35
  Speaker 2: hard not to.
• 7:37
  Speaker 4: I think Trevor kind of summed it up well, where
• 7:39
  Speaker 4: it's like, I don't know if we're going to be
• 7:40
  Speaker 4: going for seventy yarders in the first and second quarter
• 7:42
  Speaker 4: of the game, but maybe the kick line to gain
• 7:47
  Speaker 4: is maybe a little bit.
• 7:50
  Speaker 2: Moved back for us in some ways.
• 7:52
  Speaker 4: But it was such a cool moment, obviously, as we've
• 7:55
  Speaker 4: talked about, and to have the ability to do it,
• 7:59
  Speaker 4: whether it's the end to half and the game critical
• 8:01
  Speaker 4: moments we need points, you feel like you got a
• 8:04
  Speaker 4: weapon to go and give yourselves a chance eric.
• 8:08
  Speaker 6: Play call at all.
• 8:09
  Speaker 3: To have a kicker like that, Yeah.
• 8:12
  Speaker 4: It's an interesting study because you know, we've talked about
• 8:18
  Speaker 4: the analytics behind obviously the fourth downs and being aggressive
• 8:22
  Speaker 4: while also having a guy that can can make kicks
• 8:25
  Speaker 4: from that range and then also having a punter who
• 8:29
  Speaker 4: can put the ball in multiple spots. So those are
• 8:33
  Speaker 4: some decisions that we're going to have to make as
• 8:36
  Speaker 4: a staff and to work through those some of those dynamics,
• 8:39
  Speaker 4: because yeah, you'd love to be aggressive, especially on the
• 8:42
  Speaker 4: plus side of the fifty, to go for it and
• 8:45
  Speaker 4: continue to keep your offense on the grass and then
• 8:47
  Speaker 4: he's you got a guy that can kick it from
• 8:49
  Speaker 4: seventy and you got a punter that can pin it.
• 8:51
  Speaker 2: So we'll have to make some decisions when the time comes.
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: I know Eric was working off to the side inside.
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: Do you have any update on him? And can you
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: evaluate the interior defensive line from.
• 9:01
  Speaker 2: No update right now on Eric.
• 9:04
  Speaker 4: The interior d line I thought played fairly well the
• 9:08
  Speaker 4: other night, you know, especially against the run. You know,
• 9:12
  Speaker 4: from a pass rush standpoint, we weren't doing much like
• 9:15
  Speaker 4: from schematically we were just four man rush I would
• 9:19
  Speaker 4: say eighty five.
• 9:20
  Speaker 3: Percent of the time.
• 9:21
  Speaker 4: So you're not going to probably see a ton when
• 9:24
  Speaker 4: you're not stunting. You know, there's no stunts, there's really
• 9:26
  Speaker 4: no pressures. There's not a lot of movement going on
• 9:28
  Speaker 4: to help them get moving right. But I thought they
• 9:32
  Speaker 4: played the run nicely at times. There's some definitely some
• 9:36
  Speaker 4: things to clean up, but I was pleased with their
• 9:39
  Speaker 4: run defense.
• 9:41
  Speaker 9: Last coach, are given the fifty three, where you thought
• 9:44
  Speaker 9: you would be during this particular process or I think
• 9:48
  Speaker 9: still some surprises and it maybe more competition for open spots.
• 9:52
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I think the games always help you a little
• 9:55
  Speaker 4: bit just to see, okay, if there's guys that really
• 9:59
  Speaker 4: stand out and shot and the in the game atmosphere
• 10:02
  Speaker 4: that don't maybe get a ton of ops in practice.
• 10:05
  Speaker 4: I don't necessarily feel like anything changed from the game
• 10:08
  Speaker 4: from last week to now, but we still have two
• 10:11
  Speaker 4: more opportunities to do so. So yeah, I think you
• 10:15
  Speaker 4: feel pretty confident about maybe fifty or so, and then
• 10:19
  Speaker 4: there's a couple of spots here and there that you
• 10:21
  Speaker 4: feel like are going to probably go a couple more weeks.
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: Why if you have that versatility characteristic that you really
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: liked plugging playing, and what are you seeing I don't him.
• 10:29
  Speaker 4: Yeah, he definitely showed that be able to go from
• 10:32
  Speaker 4: tackle to tackle, go in at guard. You know, he
• 10:35
  Speaker 4: had the one jailbreak screen where he took the guy
• 10:37
  Speaker 4: to the sidelines, which.
• 10:39
  Speaker 2: Was cool to see.
• 10:40
  Speaker 4: And he's displayed some of that physicality, toughness finish throughout
• 10:44
  Speaker 4: the course of training camp and you know, really pleased
• 10:47
  Speaker 4: with his maturation and his style of play. So definitely
• 10:51
  Speaker 4: somebody that's going to continue to earn more reps.
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: His person in Jacksonville, FLA. On a Saturday night, just describe.
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: I mean, Leo was the talking about the interesting decision
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: that you have when you have a punter who can
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: penited inside the five yard line, but then also a
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: kicker who can obviously kick from.
• 11:07
  Speaker 8: Seventy That was a special moment. I mean, I think
• 11:10
  Speaker 8: the group, you know, not only the specialist realize how
• 11:13
  Speaker 8: how cool that was, but you saw the team just
• 11:16
  Speaker 8: get behind Cam and they realized how talented he is
• 11:20
  Speaker 8: and the type of person he is, so they love
• 11:23
  Speaker 8: him to death.
• 11:24
  Speaker 3: And you could just see that the.
• 11:25
  Speaker 8: Excitement not only for the for the team, but for
• 11:28
  Speaker 8: him and in our group.
• 11:29
  Speaker 3: So pretty cool moment.
• 11:31
  Speaker 8: Obviously it's preseason, h you know, we understand that, but
• 11:35
  Speaker 8: it was so cool to be a part of that.
• 11:36
  Speaker 8: And again, because he's so talented, because the operation is
• 11:40
  Speaker 8: so great, you feel comfortable cent him out there and
• 11:43
  Speaker 8: those kind of unique positions of of like that.
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: So you're, in your opinion, that's now the record in
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: the NFL. Or are you saying it's pre season?
• 11:52
  Speaker 3: It's pre season.
• 11:53
  Speaker 8: You know, it's really cool, but regular season would be
• 11:57
  Speaker 8: would be even better, So you know that's the goal.
• 12:00
  Speaker 8: Bit regular Tea's a little bit different. So but it
• 12:03
  Speaker 8: was really really really cool moment for us each.
• 12:05
  Speaker 6: From all aspects, from Cam to Logan to coverage to
• 12:09
  Speaker 6: the returners. You know, this unit has been operating at
• 12:13
  Speaker 6: a pretty high efficiency for as long as those specials
• 12:16
  Speaker 6: to have been together. What kind of comfort does they give
• 12:19
  Speaker 6: the offensive and defensive coaches knowing that that kind of
• 12:23
  Speaker 6: a production is going to exist in a special teams?
• 12:25
  Speaker 8: I mean, hopefully it does. I mean I think that's
• 12:27
  Speaker 8: part of it. You know, three phases of the game.
• 12:29
  Speaker 8: How can we kind of work hand in hand to
• 12:31
  Speaker 8: help each other. You know, hopefully we can pin them deep,
• 12:35
  Speaker 8: you know, in our coverage groups, whether it's kickoff or punt,
• 12:38
  Speaker 8: uh and make teams go eighty plus you know, ninety
• 12:41
  Speaker 8: yards against our defense, and then offensively hopefully can shorten
• 12:44
  Speaker 8: some fields and you know, you get in that fringe
• 12:47
  Speaker 8: area where it's you know, forty yard line, is it
• 12:49
  Speaker 8: a go for?
• 12:50
  Speaker 3: It?
• 12:50
  Speaker 8: Is that you know a punt situation, you know you
• 12:53
  Speaker 8: can kick some of those longer kicks obviously with our kicker.
• 12:56
  Speaker 8: But our punter's really good as well, So he's he's
• 12:59
  Speaker 8: you know, the best in the en fell and the
• 13:00
  Speaker 8: you know inside the uh, inside the ten, and so
• 13:03
  Speaker 8: he's as talented as as anybody.
• 13:05
  Speaker 3: So we're very very fortunate. Coaches love it when you
• 13:08
  Speaker 3: have options.
• 13:09
  Speaker 6: I mean that your two kickers give give Liam options
• 13:12
  Speaker 6: to me.
• 13:13
  Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, they're they're they're the best in the game.
• 13:15
  Speaker 8: And uh and throw ross and there was a two
• 13:17
  Speaker 8: time Pro Bowl or so, Uh, we're we're, we're we're
• 13:21
  Speaker 8: amongst some.
• 13:21
  Speaker 3: Really good players.
• 13:22
  Speaker 8: And uh, you know, they work every day and that's
• 13:24
  Speaker 8: the cool thing is you see them every day, the
• 13:26
  Speaker 8: way they work, the way they prepare. They want to
• 13:28
  Speaker 8: be great every single day. Uh, and it shows up.
• 13:31
  Speaker 8: Uh come, you know, come game days in the stadium
• 13:34
  Speaker 8: as far as.
• 13:34
  Speaker 1: Coverage goes behind d T at Gunner who if you
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: kind of see emerge.
• 13:39
  Speaker 8: Oh, Antonio Johnson's obviously been a core guy for US.
• 13:41
  Speaker 8: Uh and Antonio has been fantastic in all phases really,
• 13:44
  Speaker 8: not just gunner.
• 13:46
  Speaker 3: He's a stud.
• 13:47
  Speaker 8: But you know, we have some young players done really well.
• 13:50
  Speaker 8: I mean, I think I was a good display what
• 13:52
  Speaker 8: Rayon Lane did in the game. I mean, that's something
• 13:54
  Speaker 8: we've seen all training camp and it didn't surprise me
• 13:57
  Speaker 8: he was going to show up as a gunner. Outside that,
• 14:01
  Speaker 8: we have such good competition outside Chandler Brave boys done
• 14:05
  Speaker 8: a good job as well. So there's a bunch of
• 14:07
  Speaker 8: good players mixed between their veteran core guys that have
• 14:10
  Speaker 8: been really studs for us to these young players that
• 14:13
  Speaker 8: are super competitive that that are looking for a job.
• 14:16
  Speaker 8: So it's gonna come down. You know, we got two
• 14:18
  Speaker 8: more preseason games of evals as well as out here
• 14:21
  Speaker 8: at practice that's gonna be so so important.
• 14:24
  Speaker 4: We have approached the game or his craft a little
• 14:27
  Speaker 4: bit maybe mature beyond his ears for just a second
• 14:30
  Speaker 4: year guy.
• 14:31
  Speaker 8: Yeah, and you well said, is he he's not a
• 14:34
  Speaker 8: rookie and he wasn't even last year. There was times
• 14:36
  Speaker 8: when I had to kind of remind myself of don't
• 14:38
  Speaker 8: forget this guy as a rookie. I don't have, you know,
• 14:41
  Speaker 8: because I kind of took it for granted at times
• 14:43
  Speaker 8: of all those little things that he had never seen
• 14:45
  Speaker 8: or never done.
• 14:46
  Speaker 3: But I think it's a.
• 14:47
  Speaker 8: Big part of those two guys, those two leaders that
• 14:50
  Speaker 8: are next to him.
• 14:50
  Speaker 3: Those guys just lead them big time. They're his big brother.
• 14:53
  Speaker 8: I mean, they just look after him, you know, they
• 14:56
  Speaker 8: you know, they pick on him like a little brother,
• 14:58
  Speaker 8: but they also take him out of their wing and
• 15:00
  Speaker 8: they've just been great leadership for him.
• 15:02
  Speaker 3: And uh, but yeah, he's so mature. So what are
• 15:05
  Speaker 3: is the areas that he gets better.
• 15:07
  Speaker 4: I mean I would assume if you're just in your
• 15:08
  Speaker 4: second year, that there's still a lot more room for.
• 15:10
  Speaker 5: Growth with this kid.
• 15:11
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean I think there's always room for growth.
• 15:12
  Speaker 8: I mean I think start with kickoffs, you know those
• 15:14
  Speaker 8: you know, we're trying to hang up some kicks uh
• 15:16
  Speaker 8: in the game and you know he's you know sometimes
• 15:18
  Speaker 8: is you know he put him too deep. You know
• 15:20
  Speaker 8: he's kicking him. He's kicking long field goals, He's kicking
• 15:22
  Speaker 8: a long kickoffs. So, uh, those are some of the
• 15:24
  Speaker 8: things be sure we work on. And you know that's Uh,
• 15:28
  Speaker 8: there's always room for how can we be more efficient.
• 15:30
  Speaker 8: We've got to get the operation time down, you know,
• 15:32
  Speaker 8: stuff like that, all those things.
• 15:34
  Speaker 3: Uh, we're always working.
• 15:35
  Speaker 8: There's never a time when we're I know we're celebrating,
• 15:38
  Speaker 8: uh you know that last that that that field goal.
• 15:40
  Speaker 8: But uh, there's there's definitely we got to get better.
• 15:44
  Speaker 3: What does the cable rule change do for specialists?
• 15:47
  Speaker 8: And then but you know, not take away for subtenly
• 15:49
  Speaker 8: our field goal still, but does that help specialists out
• 15:52
  Speaker 8: to have it all week long and get it ready
• 15:54
  Speaker 8: or how different is I think it's gonna give the
• 15:56
  Speaker 8: equipment guys more, you know, more time on game day.
• 15:58
  Speaker 3: You know that, you know, the equipment got Colin.
• 16:00
  Speaker 8: He's working his butt off every day the past few
• 16:03
  Speaker 8: years of making sure that ball and that's and that
• 16:05
  Speaker 8: allowed you know, allowed time to get ready. Well, now
• 16:08
  Speaker 8: he has time to do it. As far as the ball,
• 16:11
  Speaker 8: it's the exact same ball. You know, they're having him,
• 16:13
  Speaker 8: they're having him prepared just like it was before. Uh,
• 16:16
  Speaker 8: there's no difference in that. You know, that's not why
• 16:18
  Speaker 8: he made seventy. He's been making seventies uh in practice
• 16:22
  Speaker 8: and you know, in in last season. You know, so
• 16:25
  Speaker 8: it's not that that that's not why.
• 16:29
  Speaker 3: Yep.
• 16:30
  Speaker 1: Back to coverage, Liam specifically mentioned Christian Braswell and the
• 16:33
  Speaker 1: opportunity he has in front of him, and then Danny Strigau,
• 16:35
  Speaker 1: I know, was a guy who got in pretty early
• 16:38
  Speaker 1: on coverage Unit two on Saturday.
• 16:39
  Speaker 3: Yeah. Both this guy's done really really well.
• 16:41
  Speaker 8: Braswell I thought did a good job at you know,
• 16:43
  Speaker 8: at corner he had some gunner reps. I mean, he's
• 16:45
  Speaker 8: done a good job. You know obviously with uh, you
• 16:49
  Speaker 8: know the opportunity to take advantage of but he's done
• 16:51
  Speaker 8: that since he's been here, he's been he's done a
• 16:53
  Speaker 8: good job. And uh, you know I saw him this
• 16:55
  Speaker 8: morning and and and said, you know, told him how
• 16:57
  Speaker 8: well he played.
• 16:57
  Speaker 3: So, uh, he's done well.
• 16:59
  Speaker 8: But there's a bunch of guys you know, Danny's done.
• 17:01
  Speaker 8: Danny did really well, you know. Uh, Jake Kaiser's you know,
• 17:05
  Speaker 8: Jack Kaiser has done a well good job.
• 17:07
  Speaker 3: So we've done.
• 17:08
  Speaker 8: We've got good young players that are mixing with our
• 17:10
  Speaker 8: veteran players. Uh, you know that are all competing for
• 17:14
  Speaker 8: for a tough roster to make.
• 17:16
  Speaker 5: I know he's been off the side for the most part,
• 17:18
  Speaker 5: keeling up from his injury. But getting Dennis Gardick, how
• 17:21
  Speaker 5: much does I excite you? And to see a guy
• 17:22
  Speaker 5: just as a coordinator you know around the league is
• 17:24
  Speaker 5: just one of those dudes as a special teams player.
• 17:26
  Speaker 8: Yeah, I've been watching Dennis for for a ton of years.
• 17:30
  Speaker 8: He shows up every every time he turned his tape on.
• 17:34
  Speaker 8: H he can take over games.
• 17:36
  Speaker 3: You know.
• 17:36
  Speaker 8: I don't know if I had more special teams coaches
• 17:39
  Speaker 8: to you know, text me after we signed them than
• 17:42
  Speaker 8: any other time.
• 17:43
  Speaker 3: Uh.
• 17:43
  Speaker 8: You know, he's a guy that's been a marquee player.
• 17:46
  Speaker 8: And I see why he's so good, the way he prepares,
• 17:50
  Speaker 8: just communicating with him, he's very very smart and detailed.
• 17:54
  Speaker 8: You know, we're kind of bringing him in slowly, but
• 17:56
  Speaker 8: he's in the meeting rooms he h. You know, he
• 17:59
  Speaker 8: does everything you ask and you know, comes for extra
• 18:01
  Speaker 8: meetings and all the extra stuff. So you see why
• 18:04
  Speaker 8: he's been a talented player, you know, a force in
• 18:08
  Speaker 8: all phases.
• 18:09
  Speaker 5: You're always active during practice, like not just during the
• 18:11
  Speaker 5: special team period.
• 18:12
  Speaker 3: You're helping out with offense, You're helping out with defense.
• 18:14
  Speaker 5: Is that something or asked to do or is that
• 18:16
  Speaker 5: just you trying to, you know, help out.
• 18:19
  Speaker 3: I think it's a little both.
• 18:20
  Speaker 8: I think a new staff came in liam As you know,
• 18:22
  Speaker 8: if i'd run the whistle for him, and so it's
• 18:25
  Speaker 8: a little bit of that.
• 18:26
  Speaker 3: You know.
• 18:26
  Speaker 8: In the past, I've helped Rich Angoula with tight ends.
• 18:28
  Speaker 8: Rich has been a was a teammate of mine back
• 18:30
  Speaker 8: with the Minnesota Vikings, you know, fifteen twenty years ago,
• 18:33
  Speaker 8: so a long time friend of mine. So I've always
• 18:35
  Speaker 8: you know, enjoyed it. And I can't sit around the
• 18:38
  Speaker 8: sidelins and just watch practice. I got too much, too
• 18:41
  Speaker 8: much energy, So I just run around as best I can,
• 18:43
  Speaker 8: so a lot of it's just voluntary.
• 18:44
  Speaker 3: I feel great.
• 18:46
  Speaker 2: Did you get did you feel like you got enough working?
• 18:48
  Speaker 7: I know it was only I definitely didn't feel like
• 18:50
  Speaker 7: I got enough when we only had I only had
• 18:53
  Speaker 7: like seven plays. Kind of got warmed up a little bit.
• 18:56
  Speaker 7: But like you said, like I said, it feel good
• 18:58
  Speaker 7: to be back out there.
• 18:58
  Speaker 3: Now that you're into your fourth year. How important is
• 19:00
  Speaker 3: the preseason for you? Just getting ready for Week one?
• 19:02
  Speaker 1: Uh?
• 19:02
  Speaker 7: Me, personally, I take the preseason serious, just like going
• 19:05
  Speaker 7: into any other game, cause, uh, obviously I don't wanna
• 19:07
  Speaker 7: come into the season slow stepping, so I'm gonna treat
• 19:09
  Speaker 7: it as if it's a regular season game regardless.
• 19:13
  Speaker 1: I think we've asked you, what have you seen from
• 19:14
  Speaker 1: some of the younger defensive linemen behind you? Josh Smooth,
• 19:17
  Speaker 1: Hoda Man, A.
• 19:18
  Speaker 3: Lot a lot of those guys. They come in and
• 19:20
  Speaker 3: work hard every day.
• 19:21
  Speaker 1: Uh.
• 19:21
  Speaker 7: They get their extreme high energy players, And I feel
• 19:24
  Speaker 7: like just l being in the NFL, playing with higher
• 19:26
  Speaker 7: energy is gonna take you a long way when it
• 19:28
  Speaker 7: especially when it comes to Russian and stopping to run
• 19:30
  Speaker 7: as well.
• 19:32
  Speaker 5: How do you feel like you're command of the defense
• 19:34
  Speaker 5: or at least from your perspective has grown over the
• 19:36
  Speaker 5: last few weeks and drinking.
• 19:38
  Speaker 7: Uh me me personally, I f still feel like I'm
• 19:40
  Speaker 7: the same person.
• 19:41
  Speaker 3: But as far as like being.
• 19:42
  Speaker 7: Able to dissect the playbook, our plays, and things of
• 19:45
  Speaker 7: that nature, I feel like now I'm got a real
• 19:47
  Speaker 7: good feel on the plays and I'm playing a lot faster,
• 19:49
  Speaker 7: just going out there playing free. When guys come up
• 19:51
  Speaker 7: to me ask me questions about certain plays, and I
• 19:53
  Speaker 7: have to ask, for how.
• 19:55
  Speaker 8: Do you feel about estabushing of defensive identity?
• 19:58
  Speaker 1: Like?
• 19:59
  Speaker 7: What does that ta uh takes us just coming in
• 20:02
  Speaker 7: and being ourselves every day, being true to ourselves. As
• 20:04
  Speaker 7: far as uh, we obviously know it's a physical sport.
• 20:07
  Speaker 7: We all wanna come up here and be physical, but uh,
• 20:09
  Speaker 7: at the end of the day, it's either you gonna
• 20:12
  Speaker 7: win or you're gonna lose. Uh, and don't nobody wanna lose.
• 20:14
  Speaker 7: So coming in with that mindset, I feel like as
• 20:16
  Speaker 7: far as with our defensive perspective, we wanna be physical,
• 20:19
  Speaker 7: we wanna stop the run, and that's our main focus. First,
• 20:22
  Speaker 7: what did it lake see that cat of the yarder man?
• 20:25
  Speaker 7: That was that was something special? That was It would
• 20:27
  Speaker 7: have been a record in the NFL well in the
• 20:29
  Speaker 7: regular season. But uh, obviously we all knew Cam had
• 20:32
  Speaker 7: it in them, and then just to see it in person.
• 20:34
  Speaker 3: It was great to see.
• 20:34
  Speaker 1: William said. The focus today's practice assignment alignment coming out
• 20:38
  Speaker 1: of Saturday, how would you evaluate for the first time
• 20:41
  Speaker 1: this group under coach Camp, how would you evaluate the
• 20:44
  Speaker 1: execution let's say during the seven or.
• 20:46
  Speaker 7: So places round. Uh, speaking on that first drive specifically,
• 20:48
  Speaker 7: that definitely caught us with some tempo. So I feel
• 20:50
  Speaker 7: like that's where the that came into practice to play
• 20:52
  Speaker 7: at practice to day, I feel like we did a
• 20:53
  Speaker 7: great job in practice to day, and we watched the
• 20:55
  Speaker 7: film earlier, so I feel like now we just have
• 20:57
  Speaker 7: to continuously get on the ball, be ready to set
• 21:00
  Speaker 7: that way we don't get caught off guard like that.
• 21:03
  Speaker 5: Having guys like a Manuel Ogball and doing you know,
• 21:06
  Speaker 5: behind you and Josh this year, just how much could
• 21:08
  Speaker 5: having that more depth at defensive end kind of helping
• 21:11
  Speaker 5: you personally?
• 21:11
  Speaker 3: Man, it really help us out just that way. It's
• 21:14
  Speaker 3: no drop off.
• 21:14
  Speaker 7: I feel like both of those guys are great players,
• 21:16
  Speaker 7: great run stop its, great pass rushes, and I feel
• 21:18
  Speaker 7: like they'll take a lot off once we do maybe
• 21:20
  Speaker 7: need to come out for a player too, just for
• 21:22
  Speaker 7: us to catch our breath and then be able to
• 21:23
  Speaker 7: get back in or we all in at the same time.
• 21:25
  Speaker 3: What kind of resources kind of ogbah Ben just for you.
• 21:27
  Speaker 7: The guy who's been around there, he's been, like I said,
• 21:29
  Speaker 7: he's been. He's like a eric as well. He's been
• 21:31
  Speaker 7: in the league ten ten eleven years. Uh, he has
• 21:34
  Speaker 7: a lot of experience playing in a couple of different defenses.
• 21:36
  Speaker 7: Obviously he's played up on the camp but before so. Uh,
• 21:39
  Speaker 7: he knows the mindset that camp is bringing. That he
• 21:41
  Speaker 7: helps it instill it in the me and all of
• 21:43
  Speaker 7: the younger guys as well. Set it again the field
• 21:48
  Speaker 7: goal man, that was something special to see. Man, it's
• 21:50
  Speaker 7: really once in a lifetime. You really don't get to
• 21:52
  Speaker 7: see that much. Pats out to camp. He's a great kicker,
• 21:55
  Speaker 7: he's doing a great job. Just keep his head down,
• 21:57
  Speaker 7: keep going. You guns paid.
• 21:58
  Speaker 4: Attention to him at all, Like out here when he's banging,
• 22:01
  Speaker 4: like just messing around and the nails most of it.
• 22:03
  Speaker 3: We won't see him a lot.
• 22:04
  Speaker 7: But like when we go to field goal, we know,
• 22:06
  Speaker 7: we know, we know he can kick fifty yards as easy.
• 22:08
  Speaker 7: We see that every now and then. But he's a
• 22:11
  Speaker 7: great kicker. He works his ass off.
• 22:13
  Speaker 1: Do you feel like you need to play more in
• 22:15
  Speaker 1: the second game and then because there's a joint practice
• 22:17
  Speaker 1: for the third preseason game, do you say, okay, maybe
• 22:20
  Speaker 1: we back off that one or kind of where where
• 22:21
  Speaker 1: is your hat and turn ahead at in terms of
• 22:24
  Speaker 1: how many reps you need in these next two games.
• 22:26
  Speaker 7: Me personally, it's not about the reps I want to say.
• 22:32
  Speaker 7: I'll just say I'm whatever the coach wants us to do.
• 22:34
  Speaker 7: That's the type of player the coach want me out there.
• 22:36
  Speaker 7: There's many plays, That's how many plays I'm gonna be
• 22:38
  Speaker 7: out there. If you don't want me out there playing
• 22:40
  Speaker 7: that game, then so what
