  Speaker 1: That's going the first you know week, I guess, and
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: then out today here with some shoulder Pattimorny. You've seen
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: him from the guys, you know, Uh, it's training camp.
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: So it's training camps. Uh. His progression and we're out
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: there again. Some good work in with offense, so you know,
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: we'll please. So far you talk about his ability as
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: a leader, but can you just talk about what he
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: brings us the table for your defensive line. You know,
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: how he's able to make players around him better. Maybe
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: he helps him out really by making calls early, getting
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: them lined up and allowing him to anticipate. He'll help
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: him out as far as back location and different things
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: like that. So he does a good job of just
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: relaying information to him. I wanted to ask about Tyson Campbell.
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: It looks like he's out there playing with a lot
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: of confidence for a second year player. Does he look like,
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: you know, a guy that's ready to take another step
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: in his career. That's what you you look for anytime
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: you got a young player. He comes in and hopefully
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: they get their bumps and bruithers early, and now he's
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: able to get that confidence and just trust his instincts.
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: He's been doing a great job for us, and we
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: just hope he just continues to grow. Anything on when
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: Devin can start, Devin wann start taking on more beload
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: and by that did when there's somebody loses an opportunity,
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: somebody else games one and how Shaq, Worderman and Chad
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: responded to get some more reps there. Really there's really
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: no timetable on Devon. He's still out there getting the
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: mental reps and progressing on the sideline. But just like
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: you talked about the other two and uh, really the
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: other four guys have gotten opportunities to get out there
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: and play and show what they can do with the
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: first unit, second unit, with whoever they're playing with. Is
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: just an opportunity for them to get out there and
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: show their abilities and let us see what they can do.
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: And you know, just keep putting that good foot foot forward.
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: Is not the biggest guy, is not the fastiest guy.
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: But what does Shack have as a football player that
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: enables him to to get himself he's talking, I think
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: you said it. He's a football player. You know, you're like,
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: you're not the fastest, not the biggest, but he's the
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: guy that's made a bunch of plays in his career,
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: and we're looking for him that and for that to continue.
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: Williams had I think I think d D asked to
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: come in for that one play off seven on seven
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: and kind of what's the timetable for him to be
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: included in Team Girl again, the same thing with him,
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: really no timetable, but he's itching to go and he's
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: out there, he's moving around, he's doing certain drills and
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: he looks good. So we're just gonna keep progressing him
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: and see how it happens his wife into that one
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: rapper because I know obviously he's had the non contact
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: man in the last few days. He really just talk
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: though the shay on the sideline and kind of got
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: in my ear and then I ran it by Coach
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: Peterson and he got in for one play and did
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: a great job on that one. So let's get him
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: out of there. The guys outside, what have you seen
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: from Devon and from Malcolm on the inside if you're
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: a defensive line. So for the big thing about those
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: guys is they're job really is goes unnoticed and when
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: you look at it, you don't see the pushdown field
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: about offensive line. Those guys are stout in the middle,
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: so they continue to make our run defense solid inside.
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: What do you want to do with everything outside this
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: big It starts starts with the run game. You have
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: to control the middle, uh to be able to really
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: affect the offense of what we want to affect it.
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: And they do a great job of pushing the pocket
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: and just keeping a firm in the middle for us.
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: On defense personality, you know, just like I don't care
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: that I'm not getting all the attention, but those guys,
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: Oh yeah, that's the thing about d lineman. They unless
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: you're getting a sack, you really don't get noticed. But
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: they're out there and they're doing what we want them
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: to do as far as stopping the run and then
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: get into the quarterback. So that's the thing that we see.
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: They're doing their job and they're just as important as
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: anybody else on the field. Speaking of sacks and turnovers.
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: In the last couple of years, just been void of
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: those two areas on the defense. How do you practice
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: that coach that do you see it translate from a
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: from a camp into UH in s season? Sometimes we
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: just talked about it. UH. We put it on their
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: minds and guys go out there and we just want
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: guys running to the ball, hustling to the ball, and
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: turnovers they come in bunches. They'll take care of their sales.
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: Once we were out there on the field. You ever
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: get a feel that you'll be pretty good in those
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: areas coming coming out of the camp or he just
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: kind of does that materialize during the season. I think
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: it just goes we as coaches, we just try to
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: make it a focused point of ours and let the
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: players understand that that's what we want them try to
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: accomplish and let them go out there and teaching the
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: techniques to be able to go out there and play fast,
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: play physical, and then that's what turnovers come sign. A
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: guy like Jack got one the other day because he
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: had something go through his hands last year. But is
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: that a confidence boom or sometimes always did anytime you
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: get interception, a turnover, or you call the turn you
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: punch one out, it's always a good sign. And that's
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: one of the focuses and we're gonna keep keep working
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: on it. Like your biggest takeaway from that first red
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: zone period of training camp so far, it was it
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: was good work. It was good work. We're out here
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: with the offense and offenses giving us different looks and
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: we're giving them different looks. All it does is the
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: competition makes us better as a team. And that's what
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: we're here to do here to get better at the team.
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: So we're out here, we'll ask for a certain look
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: from offense, he'll ask for a certain coverage or a
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: certain look from us, and we'll give it to him.
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: So we're just trying to make each other better. Behind that,
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: for your corners, you got a bunch of rookies that
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: are battling for roster spots. If any of those guys
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: been able to catch your attention. Right now is early
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: and everybody is doing, uh the job of learning what
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: they're gonna do. Tomorrow we get full pads on and
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: that's where the real evaluation goes. But right now, everybody
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: just learning and continue to progress to being consistent. You guys,
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: drav marker and building for a while. But how exciting
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: is finally see him what pads on? That's the thing, uh,
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: you talk about him? He's unique in his size and
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: his speed. His physicality is really what stands out. And
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: tomorrow we get the full pads on and that's when uh,
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: we're looking to see, uh the true trade. Bon chill
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: up key, what what can you really bring for you guys?
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: You know, with his versatility and his experience, that's what
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: you say versatility. It's it's huge that he can play
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: multiple spots on the line and the leadership part of it.
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: He's such a smart player. He does it a different
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: way than other people do it, and he's able to
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: show other guys how to get something to accomplished the
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: way he would do it. So it's big for us
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: to have a veteran like that in the in the
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: room and he's doing a phenomenal job. I just wanted
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: to how do you strike the balance between you know,
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: a lot is expected of tray Bon, but like not
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: throwing too much at him too quickly, the balance really
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: is on him. He's gonna go out there and he's
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: gonna play a game he's been playing his whole life,
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: and nothing really changes for him. Expectations from the media
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: or us. We might have this expectation, but he has
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: a standard that he the type of player he wants
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: to be, and he goes out there and we try
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: to push him every day to be that player. And
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: so when you're working and you're going doing your best
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: every day, there's really no expectations. You go out there
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: and do what you've been doing all your life. What
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: was it like. He's sort of like a calm guy,
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: a little inobtrusive, I guess a little bit, but the
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: guys kind of flocked to him. Right again, we talked
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: about a leadership and guys that have made plays in
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: the past. You kind of see that guy and you
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: just kind of a trust and he has the trust
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: of the team because what he's done in the past
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: and when you stand in front of the huddle, what
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: he's doing here continue to make plays, that trust just
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: continue to build. He's not a flashing guy, but he
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: just seems to mean. Let the NFL the tackles last year.
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: I mean, does he kind of like an anonymous superstar
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: a little bit. That's the thing you look at it.
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: Um tackles are important, But everybody talk about the splash players,
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: interceptions this and that. But if you have a running
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: back running for a touchdown and you don't make the tackle,
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: then offensive makes splash plays. But he's a guy that
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: gets guys on the ground and he had the interceptions
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: and has sacks. Things like that will come, but he's
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: a tackling machine. And what happened to have him job
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: stood right where you were staying in earlier this week
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: and saying he wants to be the best defensive player
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: in the league. Do you see that? I don't know.
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: Do you see that he can get to that mark?
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: It's really when we first met, he asked me, what
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: do I want out of him? I think you need
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: to be the best in the league. That's the thing
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: that's he has a talent. That should be his expectation,
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: nothing less. And he's been working, he's committed to it,
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: and we're just gonna continue to push him and let
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: him be the best he can be. All Right, thank you,
