Transcript
- 0:01Speaker 1: Uh, start, and you expect starters to play at all
- 0:07Speaker 1: after the joint practice?
- 0:09Speaker 2: Uh no, not in week one for sure. Guys at
- 0:14Speaker 2: this time before we're little thing. Ah yeah, you just
- 0:17Speaker 2: get thin. You know, you get thin you start.
- 0:20Speaker 3: It gets putting more reps on on other guys that
- 0:24Speaker 3: may not be truly prepared for the amount of reps
- 0:28Speaker 3: that they then have to take, which, as you could
- 0:31Speaker 3: see today, thins.
- 0:32Speaker 2: Out a little bit of the groups.
- 0:35Speaker 3: Your two's are more so mixed of like threes and fours,
- 0:40Speaker 3: and you know, it just kind of gets a little
- 0:42Speaker 3: bit thinned out. Unfortunately.
- 0:44Speaker 2: How does that impact.
- 0:45Speaker 4: Maybe what you'll do with the Saints.
- 0:47Speaker 3: Well, hopefully it gets somebody back before that, you know,
- 0:52Speaker 3: one of the guys, but I mean the ones we're
- 0:57Speaker 3: planning on getting the majority of the work anyway in
- 1:00Speaker 3: the joint, So hopefully we can survive with like the
- 1:04Speaker 3: ones and twos getting the majority of the joint and
- 1:07Speaker 3: then uh, you know the younger guys, give them a
- 1:10Speaker 3: little bit of a break so that they can play
- 1:12Speaker 3: in the game.
- 1:13Speaker 4: What did you last yek you had that one joint
- 1:15Speaker 4: with Miami, But would you what did you take away
- 1:17Speaker 4: from that thing?
- 1:18Speaker 2: Maybe why the change room for this year.
- 1:20Speaker 3: You know, I just think that it's a it's a
- 1:22Speaker 3: controlled environment that you can you're still getting physical work,
- 1:27Speaker 3: but your your thuddings, you know, you're not tackling to
- 1:30Speaker 3: the ground, not as many like blind shots and hits
- 1:34Speaker 3: that guys maybe aren't gonna see. And then just in
- 1:39Speaker 3: a game setting, obviously that that occurs right much more.
- 1:43Speaker 3: And where we're at right now, especially from a health standpoint,
- 1:47Speaker 3: we can't really afford to go into a game and
- 1:50Speaker 3: just like let them roll and see what that would
- 1:52Speaker 3: look like from an injury standpoint. And so I just
- 1:55Speaker 3: think it's a more controlled setting. You practice against you know,
- 1:58Speaker 3: pros that know how to practice, and you're with doing
- 2:01Speaker 3: it with coaches that stressed the same things of taking
- 2:05Speaker 3: care of one another and let's be pros about this.
- 2:08Speaker 3: I think that that's when you can feel comfortable about
- 2:11Speaker 3: going and doing that when.
- 2:12Speaker 2: You're you know, thinned out like today.
- 2:14Speaker 5: How does that kind of impact how you've assess you know,
- 2:16Speaker 5: the practice, you know, whether it's from the rest of
- 2:17Speaker 5: the offense or to look the defense.
- 2:19Speaker 3: Again, Yeah, I thought the defense came out with more
- 2:21Speaker 3: energy and better mindset and mentality. I thought the offense
- 2:26Speaker 3: of skill players obviously, and some of the past game
- 2:31Speaker 3: stuff was was good, but you know they kind of
- 2:34Speaker 3: took the fight to us, to the offense in the
- 2:38Speaker 3: run game today, Uh they were I.
- 2:40Speaker 2: Thought they did.
- 2:40Speaker 3: Albert Reis had a better day. You know, Armstead showed
- 2:45Speaker 3: up again. You know, when those guys are coming off
- 2:47Speaker 3: the rock and sending edges like they've been, whether it's
- 2:49Speaker 3: on the perimeter inside, I wore the number one run
- 2:52Speaker 3: defense in the NFL, So it's.
- 2:54Speaker 2: Like, you know, it's not going to always be perfect.
- 2:57Speaker 3: You're expecting the defense to do some good things, even
- 2:59Speaker 3: though it pisses me off at times.
- 3:02Speaker 2: This hasn't been a more physical camp in last year,
- 3:05Speaker 2: right it's been pretty much. I'd say it's probably similar.
- 3:08Speaker 3: You know, at this point, I think that you got
- 3:13Speaker 3: a couple guys, I mean we got ankle you know,
- 3:16Speaker 3: got like a couple, not a ton of like injuries
- 3:20Speaker 3: that would maybe pop up from hitting. More so, like
- 3:24Speaker 3: the general soft tissue hammy stuff, right and growings and
- 3:27Speaker 3: things like that that are gonna you know, you guys
- 3:30Speaker 3: see popping up all over the NFL right now. Then,
- 3:32Speaker 3: you know, thankfully we haven't had a ton of like
- 3:35Speaker 3: big big ones right, knock on wood, and it's just
- 3:38Speaker 3: these are the times of the year.
- 3:41Speaker 2: It happens.
- 3:41Speaker 3: It occurs like we were supposed to do more today,
- 3:44Speaker 3: and if I felt good about how they came out,
- 3:47Speaker 3: I was gonna cut.
- 3:48Speaker 2: We were supposed to do four.
- 3:49Speaker 3: Minute today, you know, and like go hit bang another form,
- 3:53Speaker 3: run run, run, run, run, And you know the way
- 3:56Speaker 3: that those guys came out on defense, you know, at
- 4:00Speaker 3: damn the head coach, I gotta be happy with something.
- 4:02Speaker 2: What has surprised you most about your defense? For what
- 4:05Speaker 2: you've seen in camps so far.
- 4:06Speaker 3: I think the communication in the back end has been
- 4:11Speaker 3: good where you have like you have a little new right,
- 4:13Speaker 3: You've got Travis back in the fold, You've added Matta
- 4:17Speaker 3: Arujo into the fold as a new coach, And I
- 4:19Speaker 3: think the communication and what they're doing from a like
- 4:23Speaker 3: in man coverage with some of the tools that we have,
- 4:27Speaker 3: I think they're doing a really nice job of communicating
- 4:29Speaker 3: with those tools and putting them in advantageous positions like
- 4:34Speaker 3: not wanting to lock certain looks or wanting the top
- 4:36Speaker 3: hat or do different coverage looks to different looks. That's
- 4:40Speaker 3: been fun to watch and hear, and then it's always
- 4:43Speaker 3: fun to see, like, all right, who's gonna be the
- 4:46Speaker 3: next Danny.
- 4:47Speaker 2: Strag Out bj Green?
- 4:49Speaker 3: Right, Like, who are going to be those next guys
- 4:51Speaker 3: who maybe we didn't slot to be contributors at the
- 4:55Speaker 3: moment or in the future, and they end up doing
- 4:58Speaker 3: things to surprise us and end up.
- 5:00Speaker 2: Helping us.
- 5:02Speaker 3: Position I can't say, I can't say I and I
- 5:05Speaker 3: and it's not honestly, like, we had a personnel meeting
- 5:08Speaker 3: the other day yesterday and it's just still so early
- 5:12Speaker 3: like that, I think we'll have a better idea after
- 5:15Speaker 3: this joint, after this game. That's usually when you try
- 5:19Speaker 3: to have a little bit of that in terms of
- 5:21Speaker 3: I think you guys have all seen maybe some of
- 5:23Speaker 3: the younger guys in their own way stand out here.
- 5:26Speaker 3: We all kind of know who those people are.
- 5:28Speaker 2: But like when you.
- 5:28Speaker 3: Actually have to go play tackle football and play in
- 5:31Speaker 3: a game, like when we do one on ones and stuff, like,
- 5:34Speaker 3: I'm just that's not football to me.
- 5:36Speaker 2: It's a part of football.
- 5:37Speaker 3: It's an aspect of it, but like we're not great
- 5:41Speaker 3: in that as much, you know, so I want.
- 5:43Speaker 2: To go see these guys play football.
- 5:45Speaker 1: You also did some a couple of linebackers emphasis on
- 5:47Speaker 1: that or just simply just a numbers to death.
- 5:49Speaker 2: Yeah, straight down. Since you've been here, kind of chrissed,
- 5:53Speaker 2: you've been with Antonia.
- 5:54Speaker 3: Johnson's he's the guy, Like we talked about this in
- 5:57Speaker 3: the personnel meeting. Est you're like, last year this time,
- 6:01Speaker 3: where was Antonio Johnson in his development? Like where was
- 6:04Speaker 3: he at on her depth chart? Where was he at
- 6:06Speaker 3: in terms of contribution? And he was starting gunner and
- 6:11Speaker 3: he was our fourth safety, right, So it's like, that's
- 6:17Speaker 3: the kind of person that you're like, all right, who
- 6:19Speaker 3: is that in this crop?
- 6:21Speaker 2: Who is that?
- 6:22Speaker 3: And at this stage last year Antonio was still right there.
- 6:26Speaker 3: He was our starting gunner and it was our fourth safety.
- 6:29Speaker 3: So it's like, who, I don't know, I don't know
- 6:30Speaker 3: who that's gonna be. And so that's what's cool about this.
- 6:32Speaker 3: That's what's fun about this is that you get to
- 6:35Speaker 3: kind of keep grinding through it, seeing who's gonna keep
- 6:38Speaker 3: getting through that wall if you will, of camp and
- 6:41Speaker 3: that tough spot of it and come out on the
- 6:42Speaker 3: other side and get better.
- 6:44Speaker 4: During the preseason, how do you balance between experimenting with
- 6:48Speaker 4: newer play concepts and also not showing too much of
- 6:50Speaker 4: your head.
- 6:51Speaker 3: Yeah, you know, look, you want to be able to practice.
- 6:55Speaker 2: The things ultimately that you want to do and major in.
- 6:58Speaker 3: It's more so just hey, let's let's try to keep
- 7:01Speaker 3: it to installs one through three for the most part,
- 7:04Speaker 3: which is a good of a plenty of inventory to
- 7:07Speaker 3: go play a game and not feel like it's just
- 7:10Speaker 3: straight we're not giving our guys a chance to go win,
- 7:13Speaker 3: because ultimately we want to win the game and.
- 7:15Speaker 2: Go execute at a high level.
- 7:17Speaker 3: But also, you know, you're not trying to show maybe
- 7:20Speaker 3: some of the new things that you've been working on
- 7:22Speaker 3: or things that you picked up in the spring after
- 7:25Speaker 3: watching self scouting around the league and things that you're
- 7:29Speaker 3: you know, implementing. So we'll keep it fairly basic. But
- 7:33Speaker 3: you know, give these guys a chance when you've seen
- 7:36Speaker 3: some Travis on defense, just the I mean the play
- 7:40Speaker 3: they made the other day and the Trevor scramble and
- 7:44Speaker 3: threw it in the middle of play was dead who sacked?
- 7:47Speaker 3: And but Travis came out of nowhere and makes the
- 7:49Speaker 3: play or like I can't coach it, and so I
- 7:53Speaker 3: think the length the anticipation on defense we got them
- 7:57Speaker 3: today on the one. But like you know, when you
- 7:59Speaker 3: have length and anticipation and have a good feel for routes,
- 8:05Speaker 3: I think that you know, the playmaking, getting your hands
- 8:08Speaker 3: on balls, just denying the ball with good coverage, like
- 8:12Speaker 3: that's a win in itself. That I think it goes
- 8:15Speaker 3: a little bit unnoticed from corners is like, Yeah, when
- 8:19Speaker 3: they don't get a lot of work, it's probably because
- 8:21Speaker 3: they're doing their job and doing it at a high level.
- 8:24Speaker 3: So I've been pleased with them fall into kind of
- 8:27Speaker 3: that category that you're talking about.
- 8:29Speaker 2: Yeah, I say, jabbar.
- 8:30Speaker 3: You know, you go back to the spring, it's probably
- 8:32Speaker 3: one of the most improved players on the team. You know,
- 8:35Speaker 3: he's he's doing a heck of a job playing obviously
- 8:38Speaker 3: corner a nickel. You know, I'm excited. I want to
- 8:41Speaker 3: see him, you know, getting the game mix. I remember
- 8:44Speaker 3: last year in the first preseason game, he showed up
- 8:47Speaker 3: on a play just like running it down from the
- 8:49Speaker 3: other side of the field, and you know, you're just
- 8:52Speaker 3: excited to go see what that could look like and
- 8:55Speaker 3: if he's truly taken that next step that we've seen. Ultimately,
- 8:59Speaker 3: we do need to see it in a game like
- 9:01Speaker 3: scenario on Saturday.
- 9:04Speaker 2: What are your expectations from Yeah.
- 9:06Speaker 3: He's definitely gonna play. He's gonna get a good amount
- 9:09Speaker 3: of play, good amount of burn. And I really want
- 9:11Speaker 3: to see Carter just go execute the offense at a
- 9:14Speaker 3: high level, like eliminate any pre snaps, the delays or
- 9:19Speaker 3: pre stat motion issues, Like don't overthink, you don't overanalyze it. Man,
- 9:24Speaker 3: just go play one play at a time, execute the offense,
- 9:27Speaker 3: and then.
- 9:28Speaker 2: Let your play making skills take over.
- 9:29Speaker 3: I mean, you guys saw it all season where you
- 9:32Speaker 3: know on our scout team, he's out there running around,
- 9:34Speaker 3: making plays, making throws, running around doing some good things.
- 9:38Speaker 2: And so you ultimately want to just see him operate.
- 9:41Speaker 3: But also man like, do what also makes you good
- 9:44Speaker 3: and what you how you like to play. I don't
- 9:46Speaker 3: want to take that away, but we can't have some
- 9:48Speaker 3: of the pre snaps and things.
- 9:50Speaker 2: Want it to be clean.
- 9:54Speaker 1: Albert Regis, how is he slid in with that pretty
- 9:57Speaker 1: experienced defensive line.
- 9:58Speaker 2: Yeah, I thought today was a better outing.
- 10:01Speaker 3: I think maybe a lot previous few weren't, weren't up
- 10:03Speaker 3: to his or our standard, and so look it's a
- 10:07Speaker 3: work in progress. Any of these young guys, it's it's
- 10:10Speaker 3: it's I think DL, especially IDL, is one of the
- 10:13Speaker 3: most difficult positions in the NFL to play young, to
- 10:18Speaker 3: play early. I think it's extremely difficult. You're you're twenty
- 10:22Speaker 3: three years old playing against you know a lot of
- 10:25Speaker 3: grown men and savvy, right O. Linemen are typically smart, savvy, tough, strong,
- 10:31Speaker 3: right those things, and so you can get exposed a
- 10:33Speaker 3: little bit in there, not just because of can't moved,
- 10:36Speaker 3: but little details of technique and fundamentals that I think
- 10:40Speaker 3: takes time. I mean, you look at d ham right like, he's.
- 10:45Speaker 2: Howls D twenty nine.
- 10:48Speaker 3: Right like, and he's what this point in his career,
- 10:52Speaker 3: he's probably at one of the peaks in terms of
- 10:55Speaker 3: the way he played, and so it's like that does
- 10:58Speaker 3: take time, especially for I think D lineman in general,
- 11:02Speaker 3: but especially IDL.
- 11:04Speaker 6: Well, yeah, I think with the grant taking over more
- 11:08Speaker 6: of the play sheet, how does that open up your
- 11:10Speaker 6: process or does that change anything for sparts?
- 11:13Speaker 2: How you all anxiety?
- 11:14Speaker 3: You know, I mean, it's just good opportunities. I was
- 11:20Speaker 3: always provided that opportunity in LA with Sean, and you know,
- 11:26Speaker 3: I know that it gave Sean a little bit more
- 11:28Speaker 3: of an opt to go on the defensive side and
- 11:31Speaker 3: hear a little bit more of what's going on over there,
- 11:34Speaker 3: not because you're not in between drives as much thinking
- 11:37Speaker 3: about the next drive and working through it. So you
- 11:40Speaker 3: can really truly hear all of the communication on the
- 11:43Speaker 3: defensive side of the ball, be able to be engaged
- 11:47Speaker 3: and really involved a little bit more than I normally
- 11:50Speaker 3: am in that setting, and you know, be able to
- 11:53Speaker 3: provide a little bit of a different lens where maybe
- 11:56Speaker 3: not every play I want to you know, somebody or something.
- 12:01Speaker 3: You know, like, you know, you're not as concerned about
- 12:03Speaker 3: the outcome. You really just want to see everybody the
- 12:06Speaker 3: big picture compete and take a little bit of a
- 12:10Speaker 3: back seat of Karen so much about the offense every play,
- 12:13Speaker 3: not living and dying by it.
- 12:16Speaker 6: Yeah, and with that opportunity, Yeah, having the limitations that
- 12:19Speaker 6: you spoke of earlier. How much of a challenge is
- 12:21Speaker 6: that for him? And a great thing to come on
- 12:23Speaker 6: his resume.
- 12:23Speaker 2: Yeah, I've been there, man. It's hard.
- 12:26Speaker 3: It is. It's challenging when you're thin and you have
- 12:29Speaker 3: a limited inventory of plays.
- 12:31Speaker 2: It's not easy.
- 12:32Speaker 3: Everybody thinks it's like really easy to come up with
- 12:34Speaker 3: your preseason call sheet, and it's actually a little challenging
- 12:37Speaker 3: because you want to make sure that you do enough
- 12:40Speaker 3: to what is going to maybe give the defense a problem.
- 12:43Speaker 3: But also when you don't have a ton of guys
- 12:46Speaker 3: that have maybe repped a lot, that you got to
- 12:48Speaker 3: keep it simple. But it's great exposure for him to
- 12:51Speaker 3: work through situational football, get his flow, a little bit
- 12:55Speaker 3: of how he calls in and how he sees it
- 12:58Speaker 3: and within the city. Still it's not like he's going
- 13:01Speaker 3: to be, you know, putting in plays that we don't run.
- 13:03Speaker 2: It's all our offense. Just he gets to call it.
- 13:06Speaker 3: And it's just good exposure. Until you've done it and
- 13:10Speaker 3: actually go and do it in those settings, you don't
- 13:14Speaker 3: truly get a uh, what's the appreciation for it? Yes,
- 13:23Speaker 3: this on this game, Yes, right now, I will. I'm
- 13:26Speaker 3: looking at potentially not at one point in the preseason
- 13:30Speaker 3: being the head knocker, you know, like potentially do some
- 13:36Speaker 3: plans there, but yes, for this game against the Saints,
- 13:41Speaker 3: I'll be throwing the challenge flag and being the head
- 13:44Speaker 3: coach duties coach, Thank you, thank you.
- 13:48Speaker 1: Hey Jay, that this time a year ago you were
- 13:50Speaker 1: the starting gunner and fourth safety and that You're a
- 13:53Speaker 1: great example of what can happen when this time of
- 13:56Speaker 1: the year guys start to emerge from the pack. Can
- 13:58Speaker 1: you just described the last three hundred sixty five days
- 14:00Speaker 1: for you?
- 14:01Speaker 5: Oh?
- 14:01Speaker 2: Man, I feel like night and day.
- 14:03Speaker 5: Honestly, like you said, starting off as a you know,
- 14:06Speaker 5: court special team guy, and then just you know, gradually
- 14:08Speaker 5: working my way up on the depth chart.
- 14:12Speaker 3: Uh.
- 14:12Speaker 5: I think I'm a good representation for the younger guys
- 14:14Speaker 5: to you know that's coming in, you know, undrafted or
- 14:16Speaker 5: late draftees, you know, to show you they j able
- 14:19Speaker 5: to show them like you gotta work. You gotta do
- 14:23Speaker 5: your time on supposed to team sometimes. Uh And it's okay,
- 14:26Speaker 5: your time will come. And when your time come, just
- 14:28Speaker 5: take advantage with a more significant role.
- 14:30Speaker 4: What is your mindset now?
- 14:33Speaker 5: Really just you know, sharping in my game, sharpening my skills,
- 14:36Speaker 5: being a really on top of the details of the game,
- 14:40Speaker 5: and you know, being the older guy in the room,
- 14:42Speaker 5: being able to just help the younger guys, you know,
- 14:44Speaker 5: navigate through this time in this process.
- 14:46Speaker 4: Continuing off of point, what was it about the system
- 14:49Speaker 4: around this time last year that made you have that
- 14:51Speaker 4: click from a performance standpoint?
- 14:53Speaker 6: Uh?
- 14:53Speaker 5: I think coach Kim does a really great a really
- 14:56Speaker 5: great job of teaching the scheme and then not only
- 14:59Speaker 5: teaching the scheme, but demanding greatness out of us as
- 15:01Speaker 5: a defense. And as you see each day we go
- 15:05Speaker 5: out there, we work hard. He gonna coach as hard.
- 15:07Speaker 5: But I feel like most appointing the players have really
- 15:10Speaker 5: taken on the culture that he instilled into the defense,
- 15:14Speaker 5: and we aggressive attacking team. And when you can't go
- 15:18Speaker 5: full quarters with us like that, you know what I'm saying,
- 15:19Speaker 5: So that's our whole model. Make a team go full quarters.
- 15:22Speaker 1: You were coming out at A and M. There was so
- 15:23Speaker 1: much talk of you played in the slot more than
- 15:25Speaker 1: any other safety in college football, and now with the
- 15:27Speaker 1: evolution of the safety position in the NFL where we
- 15:30Speaker 1: are seeing safeties in the slot a little bit more so.
- 15:33Speaker 1: But to your point, you waited your turn, So how
- 15:35Speaker 1: would you evaluate where you maybe thought you would be
- 15:38Speaker 1: when you first got to the NFL versus now where
- 15:41Speaker 1: you are and the opportunity that's at hand.
- 15:43Speaker 5: I feel like, coming out, I thought I'll play way
- 15:46Speaker 5: more nickel because that's what I played in college. But
- 15:49Speaker 5: I feel like me playing nickel gave me a little
- 15:52Speaker 5: bit more versatility of you know, playing man goings on,
- 15:55Speaker 5: like teams don't know what I'm doing. I could blitz
- 15:57Speaker 5: all different types of things. So I feel like to
- 16:00Speaker 5: add to my back. So if a team, if we
- 16:02Speaker 5: can wanna go base, we can go cover. I feel
- 16:05Speaker 5: like all our safeties really can cover and not just me.
- 16:09Speaker 1: So I mean, no, how.
- 16:11Speaker 2: Improved is this secondary compared to last year? You sire?
- 16:16Speaker 2: How improved this is secondary? If we're from last year
- 16:19Speaker 2: to this year?
- 16:20Speaker 3: Uh?
- 16:20Speaker 5: I feel like the most difference from last year this
- 16:24Speaker 5: year is us really understanding the defense in the scheme
- 16:28Speaker 5: so now we can make it our own. And like
- 16:30Speaker 5: we manipulating the offense now because we're not just learning
- 16:33Speaker 5: the defense word. We understand that we know what our
- 16:35Speaker 5: issues are, so we dictating what we want the offense
- 16:38Speaker 5: to do.
- 16:39Speaker 1: How much we muscles did you put on this offseason?
- 16:42Speaker 2: Do you know a number? No?
- 16:44Speaker 1: Nah, I don't know if aye?
- 16:45Speaker 2: Or now?
- 16:45Speaker 1: What what are you at right now?
- 16:46Speaker 3: Alright?
- 16:47Speaker 2: Two ten, two twelve?
- 16:49Speaker 4: Yea to where you were at this point one year ago?
- 16:53Speaker 2: What would you have considered a successful year for you?
- 16:56Speaker 4: At this point this year? Make it think you are
- 16:59Speaker 4: all right?
- 17:00Speaker 5: I feel like just a little found myself on the
- 17:03Speaker 5: roster as a guy that you know, the team who
- 17:06Speaker 5: could trust. If that's special teams or defense. I feel
- 17:09Speaker 5: like that would be a successful whenever my opportunity come,
- 17:13Speaker 5: take full advantage of it.
- 17:16Speaker 3: And grug kinds of preparation.
- 17:18Speaker 5: Last year I learned a lot. Yeah, I learned a
- 17:21Speaker 5: lot for sure with the coaches in with you know,
- 17:24Speaker 5: the older guys in the room. I give a lot
- 17:26Speaker 5: of credit to you know, Eric Murray and Jordan Lewis.
- 17:30Speaker 5: I was just taking a lot of time with the
- 17:31Speaker 5: younger guys and breaking down film and going through different
- 17:35Speaker 5: situations just with us and no coaches. So like, I
- 17:39Speaker 5: think that's where a lot of our guys game elevated
- 17:41Speaker 5: as a as a unit.
- 17:43Speaker 2: My apologies and would be kind of seen from Jalen
- 17:45Speaker 2: Husky since camp started.
- 17:47Speaker 5: Uh, Jay Husky, he he's a dog, he's rangy. He's
- 17:50Speaker 5: gonna come up, but he gonna hit.
- 17:52Speaker 6: Uh.
- 17:52Speaker 5: I see a lot of myself here. He gonna he's
- 17:54Speaker 5: he's a great. He gonna be a good player. They
- 17:57Speaker 5: gonna be a good player.
- 17:58Speaker 1: What do you want your game after? First? This is
- 18:00Speaker 1: like maybe when you were a kid versus now.
- 18:02Speaker 3: Uh.
- 18:02Speaker 5: I I mean I wouldn't say just one player. I
- 18:05Speaker 5: like to just take things from each and every player
- 18:08Speaker 5: that I grew up watching, like like Tru Poulomolo is
- 18:11Speaker 5: one of the ones A read. And then I like
- 18:13Speaker 5: Jay Ramsey. Uh, I feel like his versatility is similar
- 18:17Speaker 5: to mine, Like he could go inside outside, he blitzed,
- 18:20Speaker 5: he plays safety now you know what I'm saying, So
- 18:23Speaker 5: I feel like him.
- 18:24Speaker 4: Those just a few te me why you guys playing
- 18:27Speaker 4: so well back there in that end and and argue
- 18:29Speaker 4: I guess, I mean that appears like you are.
- 18:31Speaker 5: But I feel like, like I said earlier, we just understand
- 18:34Speaker 5: the scheme now like we're w It's not like we're
- 18:37Speaker 5: learning now. We know, we know our issues. So when
- 18:40Speaker 5: we in certain compages, W we making the offense do
- 18:43Speaker 5: what we want them to do, versus like just showing
- 18:46Speaker 5: giving them what they want, you know what I'm saying.
- 18:47Speaker 5: So I feel like that's what makes us a dominant defense,
- 18:50Speaker 5: and what's gonna make us a dominant defense?
- 18:52Speaker 2: How was so? Probably didn't with you guys come back
- 18:56Speaker 2: from jury.
- 18:56Speaker 5: Uh, Caleb doing a great job. We already knew he
- 18:59Speaker 5: was a good player before he got hurt.
- 19:01Speaker 3: Uh.
- 19:01Speaker 5: He fast, he's physical, he could cover really well. Uh
- 19:05Speaker 5: with him, he's getting into his flow to his his game.
- 19:09Speaker 5: He's getting you know, from his end. He's getting back
- 19:10Speaker 5: to his flow. And like I said, he's very athletic.
- 19:14Speaker 5: He's understanding the playbook at a high level. And he
- 19:16Speaker 5: made a lot of players out here during the camp.
- 19:19Speaker 4: Uh, she's bringing in a season veteran like Eric Murray.
- 19:22Speaker 4: Was there anything you picked up off of him just
- 19:24Speaker 4: over the course of last year that you could specifically highlight?
- 19:26Speaker 5: Ah Man, just ring the quarterback. I think me and
- 19:29Speaker 5: him talk the most about just ring the quarterback and
- 19:32Speaker 5: understanding like how quarterbacks operate on a drop backs and
- 19:36Speaker 5: stuff like that, and like being able to get to
- 19:38Speaker 5: jump on him. And also just we talk about a
- 19:41Speaker 5: lot of like this ball together plays Like when we
- 19:45Speaker 5: were going through the like a game we we he
- 19:47Speaker 5: talked to me about like plays and formations like he r.
- 19:49Speaker 5: He's really helped me elevate my game of like watching film.
- 19:52Speaker 5: So now like when I'm going to the game, like, oh,
- 19:54Speaker 5: I'm anticipating certain things cause of how he broke down
- 19:57Speaker 5: film and how he work watched film together. Thanks to
- 20:00Speaker 5: join tipt sent thanks for it.
