  Speaker 1: When you look at what was installed before getting to
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: training camp, what can you tell is carried over in
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: your teammates from like June until now?
• 0:15
  Speaker 2: Say it one more time, when you look at what.
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: Was installed earlier in the summer, what can you tell
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: us carried over well?
• 0:21
  Speaker 2: Uh? From from the uh just the focus, the focus
• 0:24
  Speaker 2: on executing all the plays. I think we all came
• 0:26
  Speaker 2: locked in because if we can hone in and inscute
• 0:29
  Speaker 2: our plays, this defense can be elite.
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: What do you like most about this defense?
• 0:35
  Speaker 2: Just all the interchangeables that we have, the audibles that
• 0:37
  Speaker 2: we have, and the fact that we all can play
• 0:39
  Speaker 2: multiple positions. I think you know the the defense that
• 0:42
  Speaker 2: moves us around a lot is cre We create matchups
• 0:45
  Speaker 2: and I think we gonna exploit those matchups for the teams.
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: How do you keep that from being complicated for you
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: or for an individual? Sounds complicated to me. How do
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: you keep it from being complicated as a player?
• 0:55
  Speaker 2: Y'all getting that playbook? Y'all know what you're doing. As
• 0:57
  Speaker 2: long as you know what you're doing, you can play fast.
• 1:00
  Speaker 3: How much time would take the kind of absorber for
• 1:02
  Speaker 3: the playbook like this defensive way with everything you guys
• 1:04
  Speaker 3: wanna do and get it under your your thumb the
• 1:06
  Speaker 3: way you want.
• 1:07
  Speaker 2: I think it takes that, you know, the OTA period
• 1:08
  Speaker 2: and all the training camp period. You know, we're still
• 1:10
  Speaker 2: learning as we're going. But as long as we uh
• 1:13
  Speaker 2: pay attention to means and then do our homework at home,
• 1:15
  Speaker 2: I think everybody can get the plays down. Cause, Uh, overall,
• 1:18
  Speaker 2: it's not that hard. But uh, it's just a lot.
• 1:20
  Speaker 2: It's a lot of communication. We have to be able
• 1:21
  Speaker 2: to communicate all gr all around the board, from the
• 1:24
  Speaker 2: front to the back end.
• 1:25
  Speaker 3: Right after playing half a season without Channel last year,
• 1:28
  Speaker 3: Just what what does it mean to defensive him back
• 1:30
  Speaker 3: out there?
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: Excuse me?
• 1:31
  Speaker 3: Just what does it mean the defense have Channel back
• 1:33
  Speaker 3: out after not having the money?
• 1:34
  Speaker 2: Oh, it means a lot.
• 1:35
  Speaker 3: Man.
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: Chenna has great leadership. Oh, he's a great player on
• 1:38
  Speaker 2: the edge. You know. He he's that physical player on
• 1:39
  Speaker 2: the edge that can rush the passer. And I think
• 1:41
  Speaker 2: we missed had a lot last season. There's no no
• 1:43
  Speaker 2: knock on the other guys that came and stepped up
• 1:45
  Speaker 2: for his last season. But you know, Chenna is a
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: huge part of our defense and it's great to have
• 1:48
  Speaker 2: him out there.
• 1:50
  Speaker 3: What is it about the Channi's game that stands out
• 1:53
  Speaker 3: to tell out the linement, like you seeing the way
• 1:55
  Speaker 3: he formed.
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: Oh, just the way th just just the physicality that
• 1:58
  Speaker 2: he's that he has on the edge, Uh, you know,
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: to not tight ends around, being able to be quick
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: enough to move swiftly enough around tackles. You don't see that,
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: and especially like a guy like Channing to come out
• 2:08
  Speaker 2: and do that. Man, it's great to have him out there.
• 2:10
  Speaker 2: And I love having that. I love playing with him.
• 2:12
  Speaker 3: He played Blair what he is here the first time.
• 2:14
  Speaker 3: Is good to see him back in the building.
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: I told him that earlier.
• 2:18
  Speaker 3: Man.
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: Uh, Blair is a great player. Man. I think he's
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: a hard hitter. Uh. You know, we like physical players
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: around here, you know, to getting back to see how football.
• 2:25
  Speaker 3: He's gone through a lot as well, the swipp the
• 2:27
  Speaker 3: injuries and stuff like that. I guess what is it
• 2:29
  Speaker 3: like kind of seeing him get another chance.
• 2:31
  Speaker 2: It's it's actually good cause I actually seen him when
• 2:33
  Speaker 2: uh we were training down to Miami, uh the past
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: two years, and I remember just talking to him and
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: I seen him come in the building. You know, I
• 2:39
  Speaker 2: was kind of recited to see him. That guy works hard.
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: I think he deserves the opportunity in his league, especially here,
• 2:44
  Speaker 2: to come back and have a second chance to play
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: football again.
• 2:47
  Speaker 3: What are your thoughts on the Guardian Caps being allowed
• 2:50
  Speaker 3: on your homes during the regular season.
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: I hate him. I hate the Guardian Caps. I think
• 2:53
  Speaker 2: that I think that I understand the the the the
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: safety form, but I mean, you know, I've been playing
• 2:59
  Speaker 2: a long time and it just looks crazy to me.
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: I don't like him. I'm ready to take 'em off.
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: Then, what's the biggest difference when you have it on
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: in comparison.
• 3:06
  Speaker 3: When you move along.
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: I don't see no difference. I ain't gonna lie to you.
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: I just I don't like I think it's funny, especially
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: like when somebody make a play and they get flipping
• 3:13
  Speaker 2: on the top. It is real funny, is uh. I
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: don't know. The him is kind of heavy as it is,
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: and I think I got a pretty small or beat here.
• 3:22
  Speaker 2: I don't know, so I don't think he adds that much.
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: Everything seemed heavy when you out there.
• 3:27
  Speaker 3: Do you think anybody will work during the games?
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: I hope not. It's mostly a new coaching staff.
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: But what stands out there to you about the way
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: that they coach, their demeanor or anything.
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: I think the way that they approach today and the
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: way they approach the game, and the way that they
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: approach pra uh practice and what they demand from is
• 3:42
  Speaker 2: each and every day in the meat room and on
• 3:44
  Speaker 2: the field, I think, Uh, who sticks out of me
• 3:47
  Speaker 2: the most is uh coach Ad. I like him a lot.
• 3:49
  Speaker 2: The energy that he brings in the demand that he brings,
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: and you can't do nothing but respect it. As a player,
• 3:54
  Speaker 2: it makes you wanna go out here practice hard. It
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: makes you wanna go out and execute hard and know
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: exactly what you're doing on the field. Just everything to
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: come out here to prece heart, especially as veterans us
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: at like me hanging Leeb, to go out here and
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: show the young guys how to practice and how to
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: prepare him how to be a pro.
• 4:09
  Speaker 3: You practice against Genail a lot. Just how does he
• 4:11
  Speaker 3: look to you this gap?
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: Oh, Gino looks great? Man Gino was great. He looked
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: great last year. I think he looked so focused this year.
• 4:18
  Speaker 2: And he's Tommy is good, his breedes are good. Everything
• 4:21
  Speaker 2: he's doing right now, he's elite. I think he's on
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: the elite level right now. And I'm so excited to
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: see where our offense has to bring this year.
• 4:26
  Speaker 3: Hey, Michael Rith said that you're a huge influence for
• 4:29
  Speaker 3: him and that Byron Murphy's been a paying attention to
• 4:31
  Speaker 3: you as well. I'm important to see you be a
• 4:33
  Speaker 3: leader and now out locker.
• 4:35
  Speaker 2: Uh I I really take that. I take that to
• 4:37
  Speaker 2: heart because I had some great veterans myself, such as
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: Cliff every y'all seen him out there today, Michael Bennett,
• 4:42
  Speaker 2: a top of Rubin guys like that, like that I
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: had in the room that came and took me in
• 4:47
  Speaker 2: as a young rookie. So I wanna be able to
• 4:49
  Speaker 2: give that to my rookies, Super Sam. I wanna be
• 4:52
  Speaker 2: able to get that to my rookies and be able
• 4:54
  Speaker 2: to show them the way and be a pro and
• 4:55
  Speaker 2: get him the game so they can be a long
• 4:57
  Speaker 2: stay in this game a long time and make a
• 4:59
  Speaker 2: lot of money and and make a lot of players
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: as well.
• 5:02
  Speaker 3: Jared, how defenses have you had? The audible of how
• 5:06
  Speaker 3: many defenses have played? And you've changed maybe one word
• 5:09
  Speaker 3: and you're changing player you walk.
• 5:12
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I think this is the most that I've ever done.
• 5:15
  Speaker 2: I actually said to today because I said today I said,
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: I think we meet longer than the quarterbacks. You know,
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: everything that we have, all the all the audibles, all
• 5:23
  Speaker 2: the communication that we have to do, all the positions
• 5:25
  Speaker 2: that we play. We gotta spend a lot of time
• 5:27
  Speaker 2: in the meat room and a lot of time in
• 5:29
  Speaker 2: our playbook. This is by far the most. But I
• 5:31
  Speaker 2: like it though. You know that's what you want because
• 5:33
  Speaker 2: you can go into the game and you can create
• 5:36
  Speaker 2: different type of matches. Like I said earlier, you can
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: move around a lot. You be able to to do
• 5:40
  Speaker 2: more with the players that we have. That was kind
• 5:46
  Speaker 2: of loud right when you're talking about this is the
• 5:49
  Speaker 2: most like flexibility within the defense, Yes, the most, the
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: most flexibility, the most communication, the most verbis that we
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: have with inside the defense, all the different type of
• 5:57
  Speaker 2: blitzes that we have, the type of fronts for mate,
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: and it's calls, names, you name it. We we really
• 6:02
  Speaker 2: have a lot. But then again, you know the offense
• 6:05
  Speaker 2: is not gonna be able to pick up on what
• 6:06
  Speaker 2: we're doing.
• 6:06
  Speaker 3: How much is playing zero on the nose versus n
• 6:10
  Speaker 3: the center versus outside change.
• 6:12
  Speaker 2: You're a game, It's a lot. Uh. We were actually
• 6:14
  Speaker 2: talking about to day cause offense line coin changs up
• 6:16
  Speaker 2: on to day. Stuff on the inside happens a lot
• 6:18
  Speaker 2: quicker than it does on the edge. On the edge,
• 6:20
  Speaker 2: it takes a little longer. And so like when you're
• 6:22
  Speaker 2: on the inside, you gotta have your hands up more ready.
• 6:24
  Speaker 2: You gotta have a move in in in your mind
• 6:26
  Speaker 2: ready to go right then and there on the outside
• 6:29
  Speaker 2: versus you gotta take some extra steps to get into
• 6:31
  Speaker 2: that move and you gotta kind of dictate the tackles.
• 6:33
  Speaker 2: What he's gonna do.
• 6:34
  Speaker 3: You prefer one over the other one.
• 6:35
  Speaker 2: Uh, I don't matter why I play. I wanna play
• 6:37
  Speaker 2: everywhere as much as I can.
• 6:39
  Speaker 3: The run fits your gap responsibilities.
• 6:41
  Speaker 2: It's cruci.
• 6:42
  Speaker 3: You will have chemistry through linebackers behind you.
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: You now get Tyrol Dotts and the drop aker out
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: there for first time.
• 6:48
  Speaker 2: How is that going as far as building chemistry those
• 6:50
  Speaker 2: guys and the being able to work with this dam. Yeah,
• 6:52
  Speaker 2: I think that's good cause, uh we missed him a
• 6:54
  Speaker 2: lot of the OTA's. You know, things happen, but they
• 6:56
  Speaker 2: got right out here and got rolling. They were on point,
• 6:59
  Speaker 2: and uh, you know it's our job to keep them clean.
• 7:01
  Speaker 2: And there's some downhill linebackers. I think there's some great
• 7:03
  Speaker 2: I think both of those guys are great linebackers in
• 7:05
  Speaker 2: the league, and they're physical and I like that. Man.
• 7:07
  Speaker 2: As long as we keep them clean and long as
• 7:09
  Speaker 2: we all play in our gaps and that goes along
• 7:11
  Speaker 2: with know what you're doing during the day, I think
• 7:12
  Speaker 2: we're gonna be good.
• 7:14
  Speaker 3: Anything else, alright, Christ
