• 0:01
  Speaker 1: Right.
• 0:01
  Speaker 2: Oh, yeah, he's fine. He absolutely could have gone back
• 0:04
  Speaker 2: and played. Just bruised it a little bit. Said he
• 0:07
  Speaker 2: had a great range of motion, strength, He was all good,
• 0:09
  Speaker 2: So no issue is just precautionary.
• 0:12
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it was one of them.
• 0:13
  Speaker 2: I mean he's had both, right, so he's it's nothing
• 0:16
  Speaker 2: new for him. He's had him a little bit in
• 0:18
  Speaker 2: the past. It's not anything that he if he didn't
• 0:21
  Speaker 2: come back out, he wouldn't be he'd be really hurt.
• 0:23
  Speaker 2: So he was completely clear to play. Scary, Oh yeah,
• 0:27
  Speaker 2: a little bit. I mean, anytime your guys go down,
• 0:29
  Speaker 2: it's never fun to see. And we've been really blessed
• 0:32
  Speaker 2: and fortunate, so happens.
• 0:35
  Speaker 4: What do you think about today's practice? I guess the
• 0:36
  Speaker 4: defense won on the scoreboard. Yeah they did.
• 0:38
  Speaker 2: They played. I thought their energy was better than the
• 0:41
  Speaker 2: offenses just making plays, had a little juice. Yeah, even
• 0:47
  Speaker 2: if they maybe an offense made a play, I thought
• 0:50
  Speaker 2: the defense just kept responding, whereas maybe the offense just
• 0:53
  Speaker 2: kind of maybe let the defense set the tone a
• 0:56
  Speaker 2: little bit. Today. In a lot of ways, is still
• 0:58
  Speaker 2: tough for you to swallow that. Yeah, yeah, so bad,
• 1:04
  Speaker 2: They're so bad.
• 1:05
  Speaker 4: I can't let you hear about it.
• 1:06
  Speaker 2: He will, he will, Yeah, he will know they've done
• 1:08
  Speaker 2: a good job.
• 1:09
  Speaker 5: Man.
• 1:09
  Speaker 2: It's it's always good to have back and forth. And
• 1:12
  Speaker 2: you know, I think the defense is really improved. I
• 1:14
  Speaker 2: think over the last week we see like a solid
• 1:18
  Speaker 2: improvement out of these guys.
• 1:20
  Speaker 6: It seems like you guys have had like a steady
• 1:22
  Speaker 6: increase in competition. It got it got a little chippy today.
• 1:25
  Speaker 6: Is that something that you want to see at this point?
• 1:27
  Speaker 6: Often in then moving in trink camp.
• 1:29
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean we have been. I mean we've it's
• 1:31
  Speaker 2: been like, you know, really calm out here, which is good.
• 1:36
  Speaker 2: And also when you do amp up the competition, there's
• 1:39
  Speaker 2: gonna be a little bit of chippy. And that's the
• 1:40
  Speaker 2: first actual disagreement our players have had out on the grass.
• 1:45
  Speaker 2: So uh, you know, it's not not promoting and it's
• 1:48
  Speaker 2: just it's going to happen in football. And those guys
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: they know once we walk off the grass, we're one
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: team and that's just the way it works.
• 1:55
  Speaker 7: I want to say, I wanted to ask you about
• 1:57
  Speaker 7: the phrase celebrate with your teammates. I've heard that a
• 1:59
  Speaker 7: lot yeah out there, Just why isn't that so important
• 2:01
  Speaker 7: at this time of year?
• 2:02
  Speaker 3: To just training right, just training too.
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: It's not easy, right, this this game, this this league
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: is not easy. It's not easy to to win, it's
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: not easy to score, it's not easy to defend. And
• 2:15
  Speaker 2: so when we do things right, like, yeah, it's going
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: to have to become second nature, and we don't want
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: to be excessive, but also we want to make sure
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: that we're celebrating the moments that ultimately are going to
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: help lead us to success and big plays and having
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: an energy and juice like it doesn't have to be forced,
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: but also you want to be able to celebrate it
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: when it does occur and and not just act like,
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: you know, we just did something really ordinary. Right, It's
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: not ordinary to win in this league. It's hard, and
• 2:45
  Speaker 2: so we want to be able to have the right
• 2:48
  Speaker 2: mindset when playing.
• 2:49
  Speaker 4: How much do fans help that energy?
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it was great to have the fans. I really
• 2:53
  Speaker 2: appreciate them being out here today, taking the time, you know,
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: throughout this time, knowing that it's not probably the most
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: entertaining all that all that much, but you know, really
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: felt them. The players, I know fed off that, especially
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: you know, some of the younger guys feeling some of
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: that supports be and rookies, you know, never having a
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: practice quite like this with with fans here. So I
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: really appreciate everybody coming out this week today especially.
• 3:20
  Speaker 4: Was there a point where.
• 3:21
  Speaker 5: After you took over that you thought this defense is
• 3:23
  Speaker 5: a lot closer than it's shown maybe the last four years.
• 3:26
  Speaker 5: They've got talent, they just need maybe the right step.
• 3:29
  Speaker 8: Yeah, I think that those guys have had success, right,
• 3:33
  Speaker 8: They've had success. They've had good defenses in the past
• 3:37
  Speaker 8: in some ways, whether it be in the in the
• 3:39
  Speaker 8: rush or you know, playing some more vision zone getting
• 3:42
  Speaker 8: their hands on balls, or being top ten in the
• 3:43
  Speaker 8: NFL and turnovers X amount of years ago, and you know,
• 3:47
  Speaker 8: really just putting it all together and just tweaking maybe
• 3:51
  Speaker 8: a few things that ultimately, you know, Camp wanted to
• 3:54
  Speaker 8: do and felt like was necessary for us to win games.
• 3:57
  Speaker 8: And it's again, it's really hard to simulate, like are
• 4:00
  Speaker 8: we a good tackling team right now?
• 4:01
  Speaker 4: Right?
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: Are we good with block destruction? Like you can only
• 4:05
  Speaker 2: practice that so much in this time, and so ultimately,
• 4:10
  Speaker 2: so much of playing defense is just not staying blocked
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: and what your strain and finish and mentalities like, and yeah,
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: we're trying to train it, but you can't quite possibly
• 4:22
  Speaker 2: simulate it right now Travis's contract?
• 4:26
  Speaker 5: Are you how close is that? I mean he's the
• 4:29
  Speaker 5: only top fifteen pick unsigned. You see Cincinnati, what's going
• 4:32
  Speaker 5: on up.
• 4:32
  Speaker 2: There is or any of that. No, I'm just let
• 4:35
  Speaker 2: James handle that one. He's handling all that with the
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: personnel department. Rookie beyond Finger seems to be showing us
• 4:43
  Speaker 2: highlight reel for him.
• 4:44
  Speaker 3: Out of him.
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: Yeah, he's Jed Fish coached him actually as well in
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: college and when we signed him, you know, said really
• 4:50
  Speaker 2: positive things about him in terms of like what you're seeing,
• 4:54
  Speaker 2: the body control, the strong hands. He actually does a
• 4:59
  Speaker 2: lot like a pro already in a lot of ways.
• 5:01
  Speaker 2: He's got a good mentality and demeanor. You know, we
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: just got to continue to add weight and you know,
• 5:06
  Speaker 2: put a little bit more size on him as he goes.
• 5:08
  Speaker 2: But been pleased with him so far.
• 5:10
  Speaker 3: What have you seen that a Mason Smith so far
• 5:12
  Speaker 3: in his growth?
• 5:13
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean he's a big one for us. You know,
• 5:15
  Speaker 2: we need him to to take a huge step this year.
• 5:19
  Speaker 2: I think he's done a great job. When you talk
• 5:21
  Speaker 2: about the off season program in the weight room and
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: the conditioning his mentality with the work ethic and then
• 5:28
  Speaker 2: coming out here and you know, making it making it hard,
• 5:31
  Speaker 2: right you Ultimately, when you're three hundred twenty five pounds
• 5:34
  Speaker 2: and you can move and you've got long arms, man,
• 5:36
  Speaker 2: and he's got the want to. I've seen that so far. Ultimately,
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: it's got to continue to translate, and I think he will.
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: I think the coaches have done a great job getting
• 5:45
  Speaker 2: him going, and you know, he's dedicated himself to us
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: so far.
• 5:49
  Speaker 3: How is Tooting doing in terms of retention from classroom
• 5:52
  Speaker 3: to the field.
• 5:52
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I think it's it's really hard for any you know,
• 5:56
  Speaker 2: a lot of the running backs, it's man, it's a
• 5:59
  Speaker 2: huge jump from protection systems in college to the pros.
• 6:04
  Speaker 2: And that's usually where you see some of the the
• 6:07
  Speaker 2: tempo slow down for them, Like playing slower, thinking more
• 6:11
  Speaker 2: is when past pro starts to kind of bog the
• 6:14
  Speaker 2: mind and then okay, you've got let's call it five
• 6:17
  Speaker 2: different tracks of footworks from a running back that you
• 6:21
  Speaker 2: need to learn and uh, we're trying to teach the why.
• 6:24
  Speaker 2: So sometimes that can slow a back down in this phase,
• 6:29
  Speaker 2: you know, especially when it's tag and it's awkward. People
• 6:32
  Speaker 2: are in awkward positions when you're trying to stick your
• 6:34
  Speaker 2: foot in the ground and get vertical to run through them,
• 6:36
  Speaker 2: you can't.
• 6:36
  Speaker 4: It's awkward.
• 6:37
  Speaker 2: So, uh, I think he's done a solid job and
• 6:39
  Speaker 2: I know he you know, he'll he needs a lot
• 6:41
  Speaker 2: more work, which all those guys do. Yeah, I think
• 6:47
  Speaker 2: obviously the footwork, the athleticism, you know, the ability to
• 6:52
  Speaker 2: pass pro on an edge and when Anton wants to go,
• 6:55
  Speaker 2: he can go. And you know, just consistently doing it
• 6:59
  Speaker 2: on a day and day out basis smart. He understands
• 7:03
  Speaker 2: the why of what we're trying to get accomplished. But
• 7:06
  Speaker 2: as much as he can continue to rise going into
• 7:08
  Speaker 2: year three and as a first round pick, to take
• 7:11
  Speaker 2: a huge step this year and be a lockdown tackle
• 7:15
  Speaker 2: for us one more day, we make account before you
• 7:18
  Speaker 2: guys as much for summer.
• 7:19
  Speaker 3: Just what's gonna be the key to getting out here satisfying?
• 7:21
  Speaker 4: Yeah?
• 7:22
  Speaker 2: I think tomorrow we tone it back down, which has
• 7:25
  Speaker 2: been planned for weeks now in terms of go back
• 7:28
  Speaker 2: to seven on seven, just do one team period and
• 7:32
  Speaker 2: really it'll be about an hour practice hour and fifteen
• 7:35
  Speaker 2: minute practice and really try to get some of these
• 7:37
  Speaker 2: young guys work, get some of the rookies and you know,
• 7:41
  Speaker 2: developmentals get a little bit more work and just make
• 7:44
  Speaker 2: sure we leave here healthy, but also with a solid
• 7:47
  Speaker 2: understanding of how to get lined up the motions, the shifts.
• 7:50
  Speaker 2: I want tomorrow to be cleaner than today was, and
• 7:55
  Speaker 2: I'll feel a little bit better walking off the field.
• 7:57
  Speaker 2: It seemed like most of the Browns make it a
• 7:58
  Speaker 2: play almost every practic.
• 8:00
  Speaker 3: What is it about him that you guys like he's got.
• 8:02
  Speaker 2: He's got strong FBI man like the game makes sense
• 8:05
  Speaker 2: to him. I think him playing in this little bit
• 8:08
  Speaker 2: more vision on the quarterback zone is a strength of
• 8:11
  Speaker 2: his where he understands some concepts. He understands splits recognition,
• 8:17
  Speaker 2: what type of concepts are going to maybe start to
• 8:19
  Speaker 2: occur when two goes vertical or two goes under just
• 8:23
  Speaker 2: he has a feel. He's not afraid to play with
• 8:26
  Speaker 2: his hands at the line of scrimmage when he is
• 8:28
  Speaker 2: playing some man match coverage, and you know, he just
• 8:31
  Speaker 2: got to continue to be consistent. But I think he,
• 8:33
  Speaker 2: like you mentioned, he's had a good camp. What was
• 8:35
  Speaker 2: your biggest takeaway today? I think the defense pass rush
• 8:39
  Speaker 2: you felt a little bit more today as well as yesterday.
• 8:42
  Speaker 2: But I think it elevated a little bit more today.
• 8:45
  Speaker 2: And then also just you know, tips overthrows, guy like,
• 8:48
  Speaker 2: just guys getting hands on the ball, turnovers, creating the
• 8:53
  Speaker 2: almost lost one after we picked it off. The big
• 8:56
  Speaker 2: D lineman nose drop got us. But it was just
• 8:59
  Speaker 2: good to see, you know, you had a D lineman
• 9:01
  Speaker 2: pick a ball off, linebacker, safety, whatever it was. You
• 9:04
  Speaker 2: just got a lot of different guys touching the ball
• 9:06
  Speaker 2: on defense and ultimately now on the flip side offense.
• 9:09
  Speaker 2: So we've got to come back and take care of
• 9:10
  Speaker 2: the football better and uh, you know, if we don't
• 9:12
  Speaker 2: hurt ourselves, usually good things happen.
• 9:15
  Speaker 3: Than thanks, guys.
• 9:16
  Speaker 2: Let's been the most enjoyable part of being the Jaguars.
• 9:19
  Speaker 4: So Hi just been able to come out here and
• 9:21
  Speaker 4: just play with my brothers.
• 9:22
  Speaker 3: That's been just for you.
• 9:24
  Speaker 6: To be able to actually get on the field, play
• 9:25
  Speaker 6: play defense, playoffense. We've been able to do that during
• 9:28
  Speaker 6: this time.
• 9:29
  Speaker 4: It's been great. I've been doing it my whole life.
• 9:31
  Speaker 4: So nothing change, but.
• 9:32
  Speaker 6: More than in an NFL way, just the differences maybe
• 9:35
  Speaker 6: or how how it's been for you just adapting.
• 9:38
  Speaker 9: Not really no difference. You just got to stand and
• 9:39
  Speaker 9: playbooking apply it to the field.
• 9:42
  Speaker 5: That Madden rating seventy six.
• 9:46
  Speaker 4: Hey, that's a matter rating, that's it?
• 9:49
  Speaker 5: Can you get it? How quickly can you get that
• 9:50
  Speaker 5: thing up?
• 9:51
  Speaker 4: I'm not worry about maturating right now. We're about playing football.
• 9:54
  Speaker 5: What was that fun to go with Ojo Sinco to
• 9:57
  Speaker 5: go back and forth on that thing?
• 10:00
  Speaker 4: You know, it's always fun talking to pre Do you.
• 10:03
  Speaker 5: Really think he couldn't Is there any chance that you
• 10:06
  Speaker 5: couldn't cover or that he couldn't you couldn't cover him?
• 10:09
  Speaker 9: For I believe with myself so I know I'll be
• 10:12
  Speaker 9: able to cover him.
• 10:14
  Speaker 6: How has it been just covering Brian Thomas? Just what
• 10:16
  Speaker 6: if you may see from him and maybe learn a
• 10:18
  Speaker 6: little bit.
• 10:18
  Speaker 9: From him, just just seeing how he go about his work.
• 10:21
  Speaker 9: You know, he helped me out a lot, like I
• 10:22
  Speaker 9: said the last time I came up here and talked.
• 10:24
  Speaker 9: So just been able to take things from him in
• 10:27
  Speaker 9: the money game and Parker Parker game is just something
• 10:29
  Speaker 9: that I can applaud to my game and make me better.
• 10:32
  Speaker 6: For Brian specifically, what what sort of makes him?
• 10:36
  Speaker 3: How good he is?
• 10:36
  Speaker 9: Like the move, no tendencies and he got great hands.
• 10:42
  Speaker 2: Getting is that.
• 10:44
  Speaker 7: I don't want to say difficult, but just while you're
• 10:46
  Speaker 7: trying to adapt to being an NFL player, how has
• 10:49
  Speaker 7: that been, just laying your personality.
• 10:50
  Speaker 9: Trying to through It's been very easy for me. You know,
• 10:53
  Speaker 9: the guys come in and I bring the juice every day.
• 10:55
  Speaker 9: Always got a smile on my face, making everyone laugh
• 10:57

  Speaker 9: That's all this meant. Me and him going to work,
• 11:11
  Speaker 9: Coach Bennett going to work. Was just been doing our thing, getting.
• 11:14
  Speaker 6: Those periods where you and him Coach Perkins can kind
• 11:16
  Speaker 6: of just walk through things together.
• 11:17
  Speaker 3: How big can that be for you?
• 11:19
  Speaker 9: It's very big because you know, I get a short
• 11:21
  Speaker 9: little walk through before the walk through, so it get
• 11:22
  Speaker 9: my mental right and ready to go to.
• 11:24

• 11:54
  Speaker 3: All right?
• 11:54

• 11:56
  Speaker 3: I think the finals aality was sixteen to nine.
• 11:58
  Speaker 7: You guys this way, just those competitive periods, how much
• 12:01
  Speaker 7: more does that draw out?
• 12:02
  Speaker 4: It's just it's a lot of fun, I think for
• 12:04
  Speaker 4: the guys.
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: I think it's good for us as coaches too, just
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: being in the competitive environment, calling it you know, which
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: you know, Liam does unblievable job with that, creating competitive
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: situations every day, and our guys have done a really
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: good job responding to that, you know, just the culture
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: of the team, everything about competing. So Liam's created that
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: environment in practice every day, which is awesome.
• 12:25
  Speaker 6: Seeing Travis on defense, just what have you seen from him?
• 12:29
  Speaker 4: Yeah?
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: He just has you know, a wealth of talent, and
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: he's super intelligent guy, which makes it really fun. He's
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: really quick on the uptake, you know. So he's a
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: fun guy to coach to be around. I know his
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: position coaches love coaching him, you know, And it's pretty
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: impressive to watch a guy do that.
• 12:48
  Speaker 4: I think it's really it's cool. It's been really fun.
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: But I also think the coaches, coach Milish, Drewis, Garry,
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: Anthony Perkins, Bill Shirt and those guys have done a
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: great job of just getting him up to speed on everything,
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: and you know, he's done a great job responding to it.
• 13:03
  Speaker 6: Have you been surprised maybe by how well he's been
• 13:05
  Speaker 6: able to respond going into offensive meetings and defensive you know,
• 13:09
  Speaker 6: all that kind of stuff.
• 13:10
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I just kind of my point before.
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: I think it really takes a sharp person to do that,
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: you know what I mean, He's just blessed with a
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: lot of intelligence and maturity, So it is it's impressive
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: to watch.
• 13:22
  Speaker 3: For sure, Place and Campbell. How impressive is his off
• 13:24
  Speaker 3: season been to you so much?
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: I really am really really fired up about everything he's
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: done this offseason because he's he's competed so hard in
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: the practices. You know, he's fighting for every rep, whether
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: it's at the top of the route, on the line.
• 13:38
  Speaker 4: Of scrimmage, in the break area.
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: He's just really trying to play with a lot of detail,
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: and I think a lot of that shows up. You know,
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: if you were to sit and watch his individual he's
• 13:47
  Speaker 1: competing his tail off an individual, you know what I mean.
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: So it's it's been super detailed that he's an awesome
• 13:52
  Speaker 1: guy to coach. Man, for real, he's an awesome he's a
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: great person, you know, but he's a great guy to.
• 13:56
  Speaker 4: Coach though, because he's a competitive He's doing great. He's
• 14:00
  Speaker 4: doing great.
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I said last time I was up here, just
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: about the type of communicator he is and what that
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: brings into the room, just the whole unit defensively. You know,
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: I've been used to being around guys in that position.
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: That position can always kind of be like a glue
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: guy because he's a great communicator. It's quarterback of the defense,
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: and he's really done a great job with that. But
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: he's played really physical and he just really understands concepts
• 14:25
  Speaker 1: and the concepts of the defense.
• 14:26
  Speaker 4: Really really well.
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: And I think the guys like Perk has done a
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: really good job getting him ready and acclimated in this
• 14:32
  Speaker 1: new system. And he's done a ton extra, you know,
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: to get to where he is right now, which is cool.
• 14:37
  Speaker 5: There's years in a week for him, so I think
• 14:39
  Speaker 5: ten years of the week for him I mean when
• 14:41
  Speaker 5: you see.
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: A guy that he still compete at that level a
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: ten years and how impressive is out. Yeah, I think
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: that's just a type of person he is, Like if
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: he was in any line at work, he'd be a competitor.
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: Like he's the guy like he ain't missing a day
• 14:53
  Speaker 1: of work, you know what I mean, Like he don't
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: get sick. He's one of those people like he's just
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: gonna whatever job he's doing, he's gonna go a thousand
• 14:59
  Speaker 1: miles an hour and it's gonna be done well. So
• 15:02
  Speaker 1: you just get that vibe from him as a person.
• 15:05
  Speaker 1: There's a very prideful guy, takes pride in his work.
• 15:07
  Speaker 1: So that's guys at that You know that many years
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: in doing it that way, that's more credit to his
• 15:13
  Speaker 1: personality than anything.
• 15:15
  Speaker 7: Makes that Smith got a little testy and then he
• 15:17
  Speaker 7: makes the play where he I guess he picked it
• 15:19
  Speaker 7: off and then he rolls.
• 15:20
  Speaker 3: It back to the defense offense. Just a guy like
• 15:22
  Speaker 3: that having that fire and practice. Just how do you
• 15:25
  Speaker 3: feel about that?
• 15:26
  Speaker 4: Yeah? I think, Uh, he's a competitor.
• 15:28
  Speaker 1: He's a guy wants to be a really good player,
• 15:30
  Speaker 1: which is which is awesome.
• 15:31
  Speaker 4: You want people like that we're blessed with that.
• 15:34
  Speaker 1: In my opinion being here in a short time i've
• 15:36
  Speaker 1: been here, there's a lot of guys who love to compete,
• 15:38
  Speaker 1: and he wants to be a really good player.
• 15:40
  Speaker 7: Uh.
• 15:40
  Speaker 4: He was coached by.
• 15:41
  Speaker 1: Pete Jenkins in college, who I have so much respect
• 15:44
  Speaker 1: for Coach Jenkins, and he's really a detailed guy. And
• 15:47
  Speaker 1: the guys that are coaching him right now, Matt Edwards,
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: Derek LeBlanc, those guys are doing a great job.
• 15:52
  Speaker 4: But I'm just the detail of his preparation.
• 15:54
  Speaker 1: Every day he's coming to work to get work done.
• 16:01
  Speaker 7: I know you talk about it him for the last time,
• 16:02
  Speaker 7: but that diving PBu he made in the Redsiden just
• 16:05
  Speaker 7: what he's able to show that he can make plays
• 16:07
  Speaker 7: like that.
• 16:08
  Speaker 4: How's that big? Yeah?
• 16:09
  Speaker 1: That guy, That's who he's been every day i've been here,
• 16:11
  Speaker 1: you know what I mean. And I can only go
• 16:13
  Speaker 1: by what I see every day I'm out here. And
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: he competes. You know, he loves to compete, same thing
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: like Tyson. You know, whether it's on the line of scrimmage,
• 16:20
  Speaker 1: you know, he's not afraid to challenge people, challenge guys
• 16:23
  Speaker 1: at the top of a round and try and play
• 16:24
  Speaker 1: with technique. But whatever he's got to do to strain
• 16:27
  Speaker 1: and make the play, he's been doing that, which is awesome.
• 16:29
  Speaker 4: That's what we've been preaching and he's been doing it
• 16:31
  Speaker 4: every day.
• 16:32
  Speaker 3: What makes guys.
• 16:33
  Speaker 5: Better in that vision zone, like Montera's got some experience
• 16:36
  Speaker 5: and he's really good.
• 16:37
  Speaker 3: In his zone.
• 16:37
  Speaker 1: Sure, I think a lot of that too, is just
• 16:39
  Speaker 1: the detailing your technique, like the progression of your eyes.
• 16:42
  Speaker 4: I know I say this in regard to it.
• 16:43
  Speaker 1: I believe this about every position your eyes, feet, hands,
• 16:47
  Speaker 1: violent finish. If my eyes are right, my feet are
• 16:49
  Speaker 1: gonna be right right, My hands are gonna buy me time,
• 16:51
  Speaker 1: whether that's on the line of scrimmage, right, So if
• 16:53
  Speaker 1: my eyes aren't great on the line of.
• 16:54
  Speaker 4: Scrimmage, I get that poor footwork. It starts there. And
• 16:57
  Speaker 4: that's really just the detailing your technique.
• 16:59
  Speaker 1: Even an offman like you're asking or zone coverage playing
• 17:03
  Speaker 1: with visit on the quarterback, you know, or if I'm
• 17:05
  Speaker 1: playing three step and I'm an initial ken in the
• 17:07
  Speaker 1: QB and confirmation Q into the confirmation.
• 17:09
  Speaker 4: Ken to the receiver, being detailed with your.
• 17:12
  Speaker 1: Eyes, and I think that just kind of gives people
• 17:15
  Speaker 1: and error confidence once you get good at like anything else,
• 17:17
  Speaker 1: you know, you're gonna get confidence from having success. And
• 17:20
  Speaker 1: the more and more they do it, you see guys
• 17:22
  Speaker 1: being more aggressive to attack the football.
• 17:24
  Speaker 5: The opposite side of that is Jerry and Jones has
• 17:27
  Speaker 5: done him a lot of experiences, don't say, actually said
• 17:29
  Speaker 5: he's never played it before, which is kind of hard
• 17:31
  Speaker 5: to believe it is that unique at this level.
• 17:34
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, you know, everybody's everybody's situation is different.
• 17:37
  Speaker 1: But he's a guy that's been doing a lot extra too,
• 17:40
  Speaker 1: you know, And you see the guys like who are
• 17:42
  Speaker 1: trying to put all the you know, the extra work in.
• 17:44
  Speaker 1: He's been doing a really good job that way too.
• 17:46
  Speaker 1: So I know some of the stuff is new for
• 17:47
  Speaker 1: these guys, but they've really done the work on their end.
• 17:50
  Speaker 1: You know, we got to continue to do our best
• 17:53
  Speaker 1: of coaching them and get them uh where wanting to go.
• 17:55
  Speaker 4: But they're doing that. They're meeting us certainly more than
• 17:57
  Speaker 4: halfway doing extra.
• 17:59
  Speaker 7: I know, you guys learning pass, but how impressed have
• 18:01
  Speaker 7: you been with Josh and Draymond just their work at their.
• 18:04
  Speaker 1: Yeah, those guys are they're really they're great people, like
• 18:09
  Speaker 1: first and foremost because they love the work, they love
• 18:12
  Speaker 1: to learn. They're not they're guys that like to get coached,
• 18:15
  Speaker 1: you know what I mean, Which for guys of who
• 18:18
  Speaker 1: have had that type of success, sometimes that's not always
• 18:20
  Speaker 1: the case in Pro Bowl.
• 18:21
  Speaker 4: But those guys are really really coachable, and they're out
• 18:24
  Speaker 4: here working every day, you know what I mean.
• 18:25
  Speaker 1: They ain't skipping a rep, missing the drill, like, they're
• 18:28
  Speaker 1: doing everything that we're asking them to do and they're
• 18:30
  Speaker 1: going full tilt. So been really impressed with the way
• 18:32
  Speaker 1: they've been out here working every day.
• 18:35
  Speaker 6: How competitive is that safety room you mentioned, Eric, but
• 18:38
  Speaker 6: you also have Duey, you have your brand saw, you
• 18:41
  Speaker 6: have Savage.
• 18:42
  Speaker 3: Just how how competitive has it been?
• 18:44
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean it's been really competitive, and I think
• 18:46
  Speaker 1: Antonio Johnson has done a great job too.
• 18:49
  Speaker 4: You know, those guys are all and they're and they're real.
• 18:52
  Speaker 1: Positive with each other in the room. You know, if
• 18:54
  Speaker 1: you're in there and they're kind of coaching each other up.
• 18:56
  Speaker 1: Out on the field, they're coaching each other up. So
• 18:58
  Speaker 1: you know, competitions are great thing. You know, that's a
• 19:01
  Speaker 1: that's a great problem to have, and our guys are
• 19:04
  Speaker 1: going about it the right way, trying to help each
• 19:05
  Speaker 1: other through it, but they are competing every day, and
• 19:08
  Speaker 1: we got, you know, some good guys back there, some
• 19:11
  Speaker 1: smart guys back there. Like you said, Dewey Sab having
• 19:14
  Speaker 1: Sab backs awesome too, you know, because he's a sharp
• 19:17
  Speaker 1: dude and has a bunch of ability. I think Caleb's
• 19:19
  Speaker 1: done a really good job. I think he was coached
• 19:22
  Speaker 1: really well in college. Also because he's a sharp guy.
• 19:26
  Speaker 1: He's got clean feet, you know, moves really really well,
• 19:28
  Speaker 1: good athlete.
• 19:30
  Speaker 4: And he's doing extra every day too.
• 19:32
  Speaker 1: You know, just get caught up obviously coming in after
• 19:33
  Speaker 1: those guys, but he's doing a good job for us.
• 19:36
  Speaker 3: You talked about your experience at multiple levels.
• 19:39
  Speaker 7: Just how much appreciation do you have for those guys
• 19:42
  Speaker 7: who are coached well at different levels.
• 19:44
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I think, I mean, I mean most, I want
• 19:46
  Speaker 1: to say to most of them. But some of the
• 19:47
  Speaker 1: best coaches I've ever met my life are in high school.
• 19:50
  Speaker 1: You know, the guy I worked for in high school
• 19:52
  Speaker 1: I think is one of the greatest football coaches that
• 19:54
  Speaker 1: ever lived. So I mean that sincerely. You know, he's
• 19:57
  Speaker 1: an animal and he's just a great football coach. You know,
• 20:00
  Speaker 1: you go to practice every day, you're gonna get better
• 20:02
  Speaker 1: so like you know, when I think a great coach
• 20:04
  Speaker 1: and the guys who had an effect on me coach
• 20:07
  Speaker 1: told you know, my father's a high school coach. My
• 20:09
  Speaker 1: brothers are those guys basically shape the way I coach,
• 20:12
  Speaker 1: the way I think, and I have an appreciation. You
• 20:14
  Speaker 1: can usually tell the guys that come from a program
• 20:17
  Speaker 1: where they were coach s hard because the reality is
• 20:19
  Speaker 1: the only way to get better is to be honest,
• 20:22
  Speaker 1: you know what I mean, Like, in anything, nothing gets
• 20:23
  Speaker 1: better without honesty. So if they've been around guys who
• 20:27
  Speaker 1: have a good foundation of knowledge that can help them
• 20:30
  Speaker 1: and are gonna be honest with them, then you know,
• 20:32
  Speaker 1: they never get I think sometimes guys confuse being coached
• 20:36
  Speaker 1: and being evaluated, you know, And when a guy can
• 20:39
  Speaker 1: take the coaching, it's a big help to him, and
• 20:41
  Speaker 1: guys who have been.
• 20:42
  Speaker 4: In that environment usually thrive, you know, to continue to
• 20:44
  Speaker 4: be coaching. All right, Thanks,
