  Speaker 2: I would come to see the dog. But yeah, I
• 1:29
  Speaker 2: was looking for him so I could get in the
• 1:30
  Speaker 2: ball and so on, and how you do it for
• 1:32
  Speaker 2: that's how you really run the defense.
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: How much in general, just getting this kind of work
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: against a team like that do you think can help you?
• 1:37
  Speaker 3: Guys? I think it's gonna help us a lot.
• 1:38
  Speaker 2: Like I said, we've just see as far as where
• 1:40
  Speaker 2: we're at, what we need to work on, like mentality,
• 1:43
  Speaker 2: how to be, how to practice and stuff like that.
• 1:45
  Speaker 3: But I think we're in great shape today cause we was.
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: He was hot and none of us like caught crimps
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: or anything like that and went down. So I just
• 1:50
  Speaker 2: feel like, shout out Colvin Donald for practicing us how
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: we practiced and then that just made us better over here.
• 1:55

• 1:58
  Speaker 1: the pectacor what do you.
• 1:59
  Speaker 3: See nowt of him lest training camp so far?

  Speaker 2: I think re has a point to prove. A lot
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: of people say he had a down year last year,
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: and I think he took that in heart.
• 2:07
  Speaker 3: You know what I'm saying.
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: He really don't pay attention to it, but I feel
• 2:08
  Speaker 2: like he want to prove, not to everybody else. You
• 2:10
  Speaker 2: really don't care why everybody else said, but I think
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: he wanted to put it hisself that he better than
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: where he was and way he put on tape last year.
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: Oh all the communication that you guys have to do
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: in the back end of how did you feel like
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: that was these last couple of days.
• 2:20
  Speaker 3: Uh, yesterday it was a little bit down. Man. We
• 2:22
  Speaker 3: started off a little slow.
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: I think we played down to our level of competition
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: and then today we just picked it up, be back,
• 2:27
  Speaker 2: got back to our original selves and just did what
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: we normally do, which communicate and then we go out
• 2:31

• 2:49
  Speaker 3: what I'm saying.
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: So, but it got a little chippy, but we stayed
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: away from like overdoing it. But I think that's just
• 2:53
  Speaker 2: practice in general. When we practice is another team, I
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: think things gonna get chippy. It's hot out here. So
• 2:57
