  Speaker 1: When you watch the tape, what stands out against about
• 0:02
  Speaker 1: the physicality and mindset of your group?
• 0:04
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I think the front seven handles a lot of
• 0:07
  Speaker 2: that for us. They do a great job at setting
• 0:12
  Speaker 2: the edge, you know, shedding blocks and making plays. We
• 0:15
  Speaker 2: got unbelievable linebackers that run sideline the sideline with the
• 0:20
  Speaker 2: best of them.
• 0:21
  Speaker 3: So they do a lot.
• 0:22
  Speaker 2: They do a great job for us as corners not
• 0:25
  Speaker 2: having the edge be you know, shortened or or anything.
• 0:29
  Speaker 2: They do a great job of allowing us to you know,
• 0:32
  Speaker 2: play play with our strengths.
• 0:34
  Speaker 3: So they've been doing a great job this season.
• 0:35
  Speaker 4: Put stands out to you just how physical this seasons
• 0:38
  Speaker 4: has been, especially last.
• 0:39
  Speaker 3: Couple of weeks.
• 0:40
  Speaker 2: Yes, like you said, just how physical every single game.
• 0:44
  Speaker 2: Our goal is to be the more physical team. That's
• 0:46
  Speaker 2: what That's what we stand on. That's that's been our blueprint.
• 0:50
  Speaker 2: So they obviously it all starts up front and them
• 0:53
  Speaker 2: guys have been doing a great job this season at
• 0:56
  Speaker 2: doing that.
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: What have you seen from.
• 0:57
  Speaker 4: Jar just since you kind of got your see brown
• 1:00
  Speaker 4: development of the.
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: Last month for a few months.
• 1:02
  Speaker 3: Yeah, he's a baller.
• 1:04
  Speaker 2: I've been watching him last year when he was when
• 1:07
  Speaker 2: he was here. I think he's the most underrated guy
• 1:10
  Speaker 2: in the in the NFL. He can tackle, he can cover,
• 1:13
  Speaker 2: he can blitz, play inside, he can play outside. That's
• 1:16
  Speaker 2: something I had to do in my career and that's
• 1:17
  Speaker 2: not an easy.
• 1:18
  Speaker 3: Job to do.
• 1:19
  Speaker 2: So I think he's a hell of a player and
• 1:22
  Speaker 2: I think he's the most underrated corner in the NFL.
• 1:25
  Speaker 3: And what doesn't mean to you.
• 1:26
  Speaker 4: Just like being in a meaningful of playoff push after
• 1:29
  Speaker 4: the first couple of years the first time.
• 1:34
  Speaker 2: Yeah, so I went to the playoffs one time and
• 1:38
  Speaker 2: it didn't go the way that I wanted. So it's
• 1:41
  Speaker 2: super I'm super excited for the opportunity to get back
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: to that. But at the end of the day, we
• 1:45
  Speaker 2: got to handle our business these these last few games. Uh,
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: we've been doing a great job.
• 1:51
  Speaker 3: You know.
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: We got the Jets this week, and we got to
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: find a way to keep getting wins and keeping that
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: momentum up going into the playoffs.
• 2:01
  Speaker 3: Is it where it come from? How did you guys
• 2:03
  Speaker 3: come up with that?
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: Yeah?
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: We was on the field and like in Cleveland, I
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: had handshakes with everybody. I was like, I gotta get
• 2:08
  Speaker 2: a handshake. So we did the little Josh thing and
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: then kick kicked after, but uh, we both kind of
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: thought of that on the field.
• 2:16
  Speaker 3: This was a practice probably like two weeks ago.
• 2:18
  Speaker 4: And just being able to have fun.
• 2:20
  Speaker 3: On the field, like the celebrations after takeaway, it's all
• 2:22
  Speaker 3: of that.
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: Just how much more does that give you guys as
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: a defense knowing like that part of the.
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: Game is important too.
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I think it's that's that's a big, big help
• 2:33
  Speaker 2: for us. Like, that's something that I used to do
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: all the time. I celebrate all the time. I don't
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: care what happens. You know, it could be second and one,
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: I get a tackle, you could throw the ball fifty
• 2:44
  Speaker 2: yards over the receiver. I'm still gonna celebrate because it
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: brings the energy of that offense down. Like teams don't
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: like seeing other teams celebrate. So with us being able
• 2:53
  Speaker 2: to do that, like, it's really an edge and we
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: got to continue to do that, and we gotta continue
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: to do that even more.
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: Greg, what's the process for you that works best when
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: you start digging into the Jets? Do you do you
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: look at cut ups down a distance or do you
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: like watch an entire series to see how they operate?
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it kind of you know, you do first and
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: second down, you know, drop back, play action. You try
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: to get formation tails that you can go into the
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: week and just be confident on. I go into games
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: with you know, probably three three formations on each down
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: and distance that I know like, all right, if this comes,
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: I'll be ready for it. So you kind of break
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: down first, second down, you go to third down, you
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: go to red zone, high red. You kind of do
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: that each and every day, so you don't do everything
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: at once, and I don't really watch a full game
• 3:42
  Speaker 2: probably until later in the week after I hadnt already
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: got through you know, first, second down, red zone, and
• 3:47
  Speaker 2: then I go into a full game and going like
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: all right, what am I gonna expect here? And I
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: kind of just try to do it like that. So
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: it's definitely a lengthy process. Jordan Lewis has been a
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: great doing a great job with us as well, being
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: the true VET in that corner room. I'll be forgetting
• 4:05
  Speaker 2: I'm a VET now too, technically, but you know, he.
• 4:08
  Speaker 3: Does a great job.
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: We meet as DB's pretty much every single day, going
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: over film after the days over just to get tails
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: on teams.
• 4:17
  Speaker 4: Greg, now that you've been in this system, for a while. Now,
• 4:21
  Speaker 4: What do you like about what coach Camp's philosophy and
• 4:25
  Speaker 4: scheme is and has a help you with your skill set?
• 4:29
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I think he does a great job of putting
• 4:32
  Speaker 2: guys in positions for them to be successful.
• 4:35
  Speaker 3: Like every guy has a unique talent.
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: Every guy does things well, some more well than others,
• 4:42
  Speaker 2: And I think he does a great job at putting
• 4:44
  Speaker 2: us in position to succeed. Since I've been here, obviously
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: just learning the system. Obviously I'm coming from a press
• 4:52
  Speaker 2: man all the time defense to now playing a little
• 4:55
  Speaker 2: bit more different things. But I think he's done a
• 4:57
  Speaker 2: great job of adjusting and allowing me to get up
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: there and challenge a little bit more.
• 5:02
  Speaker 3: So.
• 5:03
  Speaker 2: I think Camp is a hell of a coach and
• 5:05
  Speaker 2: I and I really enjoy playing for him.
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: What stands out to you about Liam you know, you
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: come here in the middle of the season, how he
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: reaches guys, the way he you know, deals with players
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: and talks to the team.
• 5:17
  Speaker 3: What stands out to you thout him?
• 5:19
  Speaker 2: Yeah, he's a motivator. He does a great job of
• 5:22
  Speaker 2: getting us ready to go all the time. He's a
• 5:26
  Speaker 2: players coach, Like you can go talk to him about
• 5:28
  Speaker 2: anything and He's always gonna be there, a guy that
• 5:32
  Speaker 2: literally on the field every single day, checks in on you,
• 5:35
  Speaker 2: make sure your mental is good. But I think lim
• 5:37
  Speaker 2: Is is a great coach, Like for for this to
• 5:40
  Speaker 2: be his first first year is unbelievable.
• 5:43
  Speaker 3: I think he should win Coach of the Year.
• 5:46
  Speaker 2: He's been doing a great job of just getting guys
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: to really buy in. I feel like that's the biggest
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: thing of a coach, Like get guys to truly buy
• 5:53
  Speaker 2: in and want to play for you, like and I
• 5:56
  Speaker 2: think you can kind of see that how this team
• 5:58
  Speaker 2: is playing like we want to play for for our coaches,
• 6:01
  Speaker 2: And that's the recipe for success, to.
• 6:04
  Speaker 3: Motivate guys that have been in the league for a while.
• 6:07
  Speaker 3: So how does he reach you guys that have been around,
• 6:10
  Speaker 3: Like you said, you're a vat now, Yeah, what's the
• 6:12
  Speaker 3: way that he reaches you guys that way? What does
• 6:14
  Speaker 3: he say? What you do?
• 6:15
  Speaker 5: You know what I mean?
• 6:16
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I just think it's just how you know, he
• 6:18
  Speaker 2: handles his business, how he conducts himself, like he doesn't
• 6:21
  Speaker 2: point the blame. I feel like that's one thing that
• 6:25
  Speaker 2: like can kind of get the locker room to separate.
• 6:27
  Speaker 2: When a coach points blame, like over a bad play
• 6:30
  Speaker 2: or a bad loss or anything like that. He never
• 6:33
  Speaker 2: points a blame. He always points it right back at himself.
• 6:35
  Speaker 2: I mean, you can respect the coach like that. So
• 6:38
  Speaker 2: I think he does a great job, like I said,
• 6:40
  Speaker 2: of doing that, I'm holding guys accountable, but always knowing
• 6:44
  Speaker 2: like everyone can be better, and he always starts with himself.
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: Have you ever played for a guy who runs into
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: the locker like that after a win?
• 6:54
  Speaker 3: Runs like that?
• 6:55
  Speaker 2: I mean, so in Cleveland we didn't obviously have a
• 6:59
  Speaker 2: lot of great seasons, but the season we did have great,
• 7:03
  Speaker 2: Stefanski would would definitely be like that. But Liam brings
• 7:07
  Speaker 2: a ton of juice and it's super it's super dope
• 7:10
  Speaker 2: to see.
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: You know, the way it needs and motivating. Is that culture?
• 7:15
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I think that's a culture for sure. I think
• 7:17
  Speaker 3: that's a.
• 7:18
  Speaker 2: Culture thing because at the end of the day, culture
• 7:21
  Speaker 2: starts here and it goes down, you know. So I
• 7:24
  Speaker 2: think that's definitely a cultural thing. And you can kind
• 7:26
  Speaker 2: of see the way we are as players is a
• 7:29
  Speaker 2: reflection of our head coach. So I definitely think it
• 7:32
  Speaker 2: starts up top and and it trickles down.
• 7:37
  Speaker 5: When it's raining, snowing anything. I feel like I just
• 7:41
  Speaker 5: actually want to touch the ball. Fill the ball with gloves,
• 7:45
  Speaker 5: you could get the smallest drop of water on it,
• 7:49
  Speaker 5: and to make them super slick. And I just wanted
• 7:51
  Speaker 5: to be able to It's kind of like I was
• 7:53
  Speaker 5: just telling him, it's like a mental thing just to
• 7:55
  Speaker 5: trust my hands, Like I don't have no excuse if
• 7:58
  Speaker 5: I have gloves on. It's my hands catching the balls.
• 8:00
  Speaker 5: I got gloves, and I'm like, oh, it was the gloves,
• 8:02
  Speaker 5: That's why I dropped it.
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: Catch on the other sideline. He sort of really led
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: led the catch in if it was a regular day,
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: would you tried to hit that and stride?
• 8:12
  Speaker 3: Did you?
• 8:12
  Speaker 5: Good?
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: Book?
• 8:13
  Speaker 5: Get a lot more cautious the first one you talked about.
• 8:16
  Speaker 5: The first one, Yeah, it was one of those. I
• 8:19
  Speaker 5: just wanted to make sure I got the catch. It
• 8:21
  Speaker 5: was third down, it was two minute drill. It's huge
• 8:24
  Speaker 5: to get points before half, so I kind of just
• 8:27
  Speaker 5: made sure I secured the catch. If it was warm,
• 8:31
  Speaker 5: I think I would have been able to probably score
• 8:33
  Speaker 5: on that.
• 8:34
  Speaker 4: And what's making this offense work right now?
• 8:37
  Speaker 3: Uh? Honestly, Trevor.
• 8:42
  Speaker 5: Qb uh, he's uh, he's facilitating to everybody. He has
• 8:47
  Speaker 5: full control of the offense. He's running when he needs
• 8:49
  Speaker 5: to run, he's throwing when he when he needs to throw,
• 8:53
  Speaker 5: and he just and obviously the run game in our line,
• 8:56
  Speaker 5: I think everybody's just we understand what type of team
• 8:59
  Speaker 5: we are and the type of team that we want
• 9:01
  Speaker 5: to be.
• 9:01
  Speaker 3: We want to run the ball, we.
• 9:02
  Speaker 5: Want to be physical, and when we need to throw
• 9:05
  Speaker 5: the ball, we're gonna throw the ball and we're gonna
• 9:06
  Speaker 5: make plays.
• 9:08
  Speaker 4: A great example of how way Trevor can escape and
• 9:12
  Speaker 4: elude and keep the play going. And does that require
• 9:16
  Speaker 4: a little bit of a werkness on the receivers park.
• 9:19
  Speaker 5: It's just having him back there. It's just, you know,
• 9:21
  Speaker 5: the play is never over, never truly over. So like
• 9:24
  Speaker 5: maybe if you don't get open in the first window
• 9:26
  Speaker 5: of it, he's going to make something happen, so you
• 9:28
  Speaker 5: can make sure you get open in that second window.
• 9:31
  Speaker 5: And having a guy like that, it makes it makes
• 9:34
  Speaker 5: it hard for a defense to really prepare for us,
• 9:36
  Speaker 5: because maybe if you scheme us up on the play,
• 9:40
  Speaker 5: he scrambles out, it's a whole new play and we
• 9:42
  Speaker 5: have another opportunity to get open again.
• 9:44
  Speaker 3: When you struggle at times, you know, like Brian has.
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: Maybe early in the season, then you have a game
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: like yesterday.
• 9:50
  Speaker 3: How much does that shoot confidence to move and how
• 9:53
  Speaker 3: helpful is that? Yeah?
• 9:54
  Speaker 5: I think uh yeah, early on, yeah, he will tell
• 9:58
  Speaker 5: you he wasn't playing his best. But the past couple
• 10:00
  Speaker 5: of games that he has played, he has I'm pretty
• 10:03
  Speaker 5: sure he has hasn't had a drop in a while.
• 10:06
  Speaker 3: I think his confidence is there.
• 10:08
  Speaker 5: I think this game he felt more close to being
• 10:11
  Speaker 5: healthy with the ankle injury he's been dealing with. And
• 10:14
  Speaker 5: to go out there in a rainy game and to
• 10:17
  Speaker 5: make the catches that he made again to a great opponent, it's, uh,
• 10:22
  Speaker 5: it doesn't get any better than that. And I know
• 10:24
  Speaker 5: he's his confidence is exactly where it needs to be
• 10:26
  Speaker 5: right now.
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: How special for play was that?
• 10:30
  Speaker 2: You know?
• 10:30
  Speaker 5: Just for.
• 10:32
  Speaker 3: It's huge.
• 10:33
  Speaker 5: Every play he makes is huge because we all know
• 10:35
  Speaker 5: what he's capable of, and to go out there and
• 10:39
  Speaker 5: remind people who the hell he is, it's a it's exciting. Man,
• 10:43
  Speaker 5: Like all the d players I was, I was in
• 10:45
  Speaker 5: and I had a job. But if you look at it,
• 10:48
  Speaker 5: I'm watching because I know where the ball's going and
• 10:51
  Speaker 5: I'm watching to make sure he makes a play so
• 10:53
  Speaker 5: I can celebrate with him, and it was it was fun.
• 10:56
  Speaker 4: Push the ball downfield and you said, how's that healthy?
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: Offensive?
• 11:00
  Speaker 5: Asking them it opens up everything. Uh, it makes the
• 11:04
  Speaker 5: DB's play us. Honest, it makes them think about putting
• 11:08
  Speaker 5: two safeties back, and then you put two safety back.
• 11:11
  Speaker 5: Then we're gonna run it down your throat. So it's
• 11:13
  Speaker 5: it's one of those things. Everything works together in this offense.
• 11:17
  Speaker 5: If were running the ball, good runna run the ball.
• 11:20
  Speaker 5: If they're slowing down the run, we're gonna take it
• 11:21
  Speaker 5: up top. It's it's it's kind of pick or poison
• 11:24
  Speaker 5: right now it's touchdown.
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: You have to shrug multiples kind of your message with that.
• 11:28
  Speaker 5: We were insane, Honestly, I had something else in mind,
• 11:31
  Speaker 5: a little bit more disrespectful. But when I caught it,
• 11:35
  Speaker 5: I was on the ground and I seen like five
• 11:37
  Speaker 5: camera man right there, and I'm just like, hey.
• 11:40
  Speaker 3: It worked. The play.
• 11:41
  Speaker 5: The play didn't look the best, but it worked. We
• 11:43
  Speaker 5: got the touchdown. So that's uh. There was nothing about that.
• 11:46
  Speaker 5: It was just I was just living in a moment.
• 11:48
  Speaker 2: Breaking after moments like that, just how much energy does
• 11:51
  Speaker 2: that kind of shoot into the team, Cause obviously the offense.
• 11:54
  Speaker 3: Is going off the Uh. It's it's big man.
• 11:59
  Speaker 5: Uh. One thing in the sling energy is contagious, and
• 12:03
  Speaker 5: everything I do out there, I just try to make
• 12:05
  Speaker 5: sure I bring that energy to make sure everybody's on
• 12:10
  Speaker 5: the same board, because like, we play a hard physical
• 12:12
  Speaker 5: sport and sometimes we forget we're playing a kids game
• 12:15
  Speaker 5: and we're a little bit too serious. So I try
• 12:18
  Speaker 5: to bring people back to reality, like, hey, we're playing
• 12:20
  Speaker 5: the game at the end of the day. Yeah, we
• 12:22
  Speaker 5: want to win, but let's have fun with it.
• 12:25
  Speaker 3: So are you saying that other celebration for later?
• 12:29
  Speaker 5: It was something that was just for them.
