  Speaker 1: How are we doing, guys, good?
• 0:04
  Speaker 2: What's different for you this year we won the last year.
• 0:10
  Speaker 3: Really, I would say kind of, it's not different, it's
• 0:13
  Speaker 3: just more Yeah, I suppose so you could say different.
• 0:15
  Speaker 3: It's just more like the anticipation is karma. You like,
• 0:18
  Speaker 3: you always get like that kind of anxiety going into
• 0:20
  Speaker 3: a game. I think everyone does at times like this.
• 0:23
  Speaker 3: But as you go through, you you start understanding your
• 0:25
  Speaker 3: process more and you kind of.
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: Rely on that.
• 0:28
  Speaker 3: And then you see like the way the players are going,
• 0:30
  Speaker 3: the way they're taking it on and kind of taking
• 0:32
  Speaker 3: their ownership of the system and really the game plan
• 0:36
  Speaker 3: kind of put don't put you at ease, but it makes.
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: You understand like we're going in the right direction.
• 0:40
  Speaker 3: I would say that's the biggest differences act to this group.
• 0:46
  Speaker 3: I would say where I think he's had his biggest impact,
• 0:49
  Speaker 3: like take out his kind of ability, but his ability
• 0:53
  Speaker 3: to coach and really bring on the hall and boy
• 0:58
  Speaker 3: like to I can coach you to set an edge,
• 1:02
  Speaker 3: Pines can.
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: Coach you cp like they do it every day.
• 1:04
  Speaker 3: But when you see a guy lock someone out, punch
• 1:07
  Speaker 3: the ball, do it the way he does it every day,
• 1:09
  Speaker 3: and it comes like to practice He's kind of like
• 1:11
  Speaker 3: you can emulate that movement by watching it over and
• 1:14
  Speaker 3: over again. I think I see some of the his
• 1:16
  Speaker 3: traits coming out in the other players.
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: It's pretty cool.
• 1:19
  Speaker 2: More time to prep for that first game of the season,
• 1:22
  Speaker 2: literally months to prep.
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it seems like the most unpredictable week. And I
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: why I think that is. I just think it's like
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: that's you know, in this game.
• 1:30
  Speaker 3: Sometimes we like overthink stuff, and I think like I've
• 1:33
  Speaker 3: been around a couple of guys that have kind of
• 1:36
  Speaker 3: led me on how to do this week, and I
• 1:39
  Speaker 3: feel like you have to take it like a normal week.
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: You do. You do a lot of prep, and you.
• 1:42
  Speaker 3: Do prep for the weeks, the few weeks ahead, but
• 1:45
  Speaker 3: really kind of you can't say to the players like
• 1:48
  Speaker 3: we're living in the now, we're trying to do this,
• 1:50
  Speaker 3: and then you're thinking, like three weeks ahead to San Francis.
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: You can't do that.
• 1:54
  Speaker 3: You've got You've got to like come in every day,
• 1:56
  Speaker 3: set your table, Who are you trying to improve? What
• 1:58
  Speaker 3: you're trying to improve on? I kind of those daily
• 2:00
  Speaker 3: things for myself.
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: It keeps me on task. Can you Jesus Coasts doing
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: that this week? Trying to find too many things. I
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: suppose people can.
• 2:10
  Speaker 3: I think those those kind of processes make me like
• 2:13
  Speaker 3: watch the things I'm meant to be watching at the
• 2:15
  Speaker 3: times I'm meant to be watching, because like it's not
• 2:17
  Speaker 3: just that, it's like the false sense of security that
• 2:19
  Speaker 3: you have all this time and then you're playing Pittsburgh
• 2:22
  Speaker 3: the week after, you know, Like so you've got to
• 2:24
  Speaker 3: keep these real timelines because then you're out of sync
• 2:28
  Speaker 3: as you go through things.
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: That's how I feel. So for me, that's how it
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: works in the North of.
• 2:33
  Speaker 2: Gud and you hearing really like that's three.
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: Ten plus your bad yeah one anotherwise pretty young one,
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: because what are those three guys were? They all bring
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: something different. It's kind of cool, Like it's like they're
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: like this.
• 2:47
  Speaker 3: I call them the three amigos, and like Barron's like
• 2:49
  Speaker 3: the little side kicked with them, you know. But it's
• 2:53
  Speaker 3: like they like they all see the game how it's
• 2:57
  Speaker 3: meant to be played, and they believe that and they
• 2:59
  Speaker 3: really kind of push that on the guys around them
• 3:02
  Speaker 3: by doing not by talking really I would say, but
• 3:05
  Speaker 3: they kind of do it in their own way, like
• 3:07
  Speaker 3: Law has his own little way of doing it. J
• 3:09
  Speaker 3: Ree does Leo does you know? And it kind of
• 3:12
  Speaker 3: like you see those it's really kind of I feel
• 3:15
  Speaker 3: those guys. I wouldn't say they're growing, but they're definitely
• 3:20
  Speaker 3: kind of enhancing different parts of their game because of that,
• 3:24
  Speaker 3: and they're doing it to each other.
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: It's like it's good. What do you think.
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: In war in Leonard's game LA last year to have
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: the season that he had at that at this point
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: of his career, you know, ten years in his group.
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: I think you'd have to ask him that question.
• 3:41
  Speaker 3: But he said he was kind of having the freedom
• 3:44
  Speaker 3: to have fun in the in the system that you.
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: Guys, I think I see it in him.
• 3:49
  Speaker 3: I see that he has fun, He has intention to
• 3:52
  Speaker 3: his game, he has pride in what he does. He
• 3:55
  Speaker 3: he's very intelligent player, so he can see opportunities when
• 3:59
  Speaker 3: opportunities present himselves within the system. So I think when
• 4:04
  Speaker 3: you when you do those things and you enjoy it
• 4:07
  Speaker 3: and you get some kickback from it by making players,
• 4:10
  Speaker 3: I've seen a lot of players, that's when they're playing
• 4:13
  Speaker 3: their best football.
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: And there you know, when it's free and fun.
• 4:15
  Speaker 3: And you're you're playing the way you you envision yourself playing,
• 4:19
  Speaker 3: or maybe you didn't even envision yourself. The coaches did,
• 4:21
  Speaker 3: or they saw a bigger picture for you, Like Mike
• 4:23
  Speaker 3: does a great job of that.
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: When that happens, you kind of can be the best version.
• 4:28
  Speaker 3: And like I still think Leo's got room to grow,
• 4:30
  Speaker 3: Like if you ask me personally, I still think he's
• 4:33
  Speaker 3: going to show the world what he can do well.
• 4:35
  Speaker 2: With Nick, where do you feel like he's at in
• 4:37
  Speaker 2: terms of his ability to like just go out there
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: and cut it loose and not think it just reacting.
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I think that's a process.
• 4:43
  Speaker 3: I think like he he's still young, you know, and
• 4:47
  Speaker 3: he has a like he has a few little jobs
• 4:50
  Speaker 3: that he has to learn and in this world, like
• 4:53
  Speaker 3: the smaller like Jeff Howard does a great job of
• 4:55
  Speaker 3: like making his world small and so he can execute.
• 4:58
  Speaker 3: And when he does that, you see you see him
• 5:00
  Speaker 3: going fast and you see him moving around the field.
• 5:01
  Speaker 3: It's kind of the more flashes. You see more and
• 5:05
  Speaker 3: more and that's the exciting part of like the growth
• 5:07
  Speaker 3: of him and that that that's the time a rookie
• 5:10
  Speaker 3: will do that, especially when you have a versatile player
• 5:12
  Speaker 3: like Nick's.
• 5:13
  Speaker 2: Like rookie defensive lineman at easier times showing the impact
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: and pass rush versus rush and running defense.
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: Why do you think that might be if you agree
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: with the best fears. It wasn't for Byron, was it? Yeah?
• 5:27
  Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, I think you got I think you've got
• 5:29
  Speaker 3: to look at the college run game versus the NFL
• 5:32
  Speaker 3: run game. You know, I think college run game is
• 5:35
  Speaker 3: a lot of gun most most teams you come from
• 5:37
  Speaker 3: its gun runs, and it's very much like the quarterbacks
• 5:40
  Speaker 3: involved in it an NFL run game. It's multiple and
• 5:44
  Speaker 3: a lot of things can happen, a lot of movements,
• 5:46
  Speaker 3: a lot of good players you play against that understand
• 5:50
  Speaker 3: the keys you're looking at times. I think as you
• 5:53
  Speaker 3: go through it, you have to feel the wrong game.
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: That's to me. That's like where Byron is.
• 5:58
  Speaker 3: He's different, you know, Like I know it's not the
• 6:00
  Speaker 3: splash plays that everyone wants to see all the time,
• 6:03
  Speaker 3: but the work he does in the trenches. Like when
• 6:06
  Speaker 3: he's in there, it's hard to run the ball inside
• 6:08
  Speaker 3: on him. You know, he like he's a very hard
• 6:10
  Speaker 3: player to block and he does a great job of that.
• 6:13
  Speaker 3: And I think he's the reverse because he'd done that
• 6:16
  Speaker 3: in college at a very high level, and he didn't
• 6:18
  Speaker 3: rush as much. And now it's like you see all
• 6:20
  Speaker 3: his ability to rush and I help it. In Sunday
• 6:22
  Speaker 3: he gets with some real good fruits of his label
• 6:25
  Speaker 3: because he's putting the work and he's doing some good
• 6:26
  Speaker 3: ship stuff.
• 6:27
  Speaker 2: Sorry detailed on the offensive lining that's really helped him
• 6:35
  Speaker 2: level of help.
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: Do you see that for.
• 6:38
  Speaker 2: Us to nevers to the defensive if they are more
• 6:41
  Speaker 2: technically sound or attentions.
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's like the guys you've been talking about, like
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: law is.
• 6:47
  Speaker 3: He's one of the most technically sound players that Barron
• 6:49
  Speaker 3: is too that I've been around. You know, his ability
• 6:53
  Speaker 3: to understand keys, understand run game and hand placement.
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: Body position.
• 6:59
  Speaker 3: When you when you do that and you practice like
• 7:02
  Speaker 3: that over and over again at this level when you're
• 7:06
  Speaker 3: there's only a certain amount of variables that can happen.
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: In every play if you understand what's going on.
• 7:12
  Speaker 3: And you see that in those players, that that's where
• 7:15
  Speaker 3: I think the line is growing at the moment, Like
• 7:17
  Speaker 3: I I can feel them more in practice, you know,
• 7:20
  Speaker 3: for the.
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: Most things ahead.
• 7:22
  Speaker 2: I just say that the perception seems to be that
• 7:24
  Speaker 2: the forty nine ers in Sexy the offenses are really similar.
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: Obviously, You've gone against Mike every day out here and
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: now you're prepping for them. H how similar or maybe
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: not as similar?
• 7:33
  Speaker 3: Are they?
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: Do you feel like, yeah, I've you go.
• 7:37
  Speaker 3: You go against different iterations of this scheme a lot
• 7:40
  Speaker 3: like we do anyway, and I've done it in other
• 7:42
  Speaker 3: teams I've been on. I think when you go on
• 7:46
  Speaker 3: different iterations of different schemes, they almost take on like
• 7:51
  Speaker 3: a kind of personality of the person that does it,
• 7:54
  Speaker 3: and there's there's the differences. To me, it's like there
• 7:57
  Speaker 3: are differences, but I think like you see Kyle's offense,
• 8:02
  Speaker 3: and you see different people's offenses, and they're a lot
• 8:05
  Speaker 3: like those people and how they want to move and
• 8:07
  Speaker 3: how they want to run and how they want to attack,
• 8:09
  Speaker 3: and so they are similar, but there are little differences.
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: I think in the way things go is a Tyree
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: snipe Ernest Jones relationship and hands your defense hugely. I think, like.
• 8:22
  Speaker 3: We talk about what Mike does it a lot, but
• 8:24
  Speaker 3: we try and we all talk about his connection and
• 8:26
  Speaker 3: understanding of like the help it gives, like Ejan about
• 8:33
  Speaker 3: the same age, I think. And it's funny they've been
• 8:36
  Speaker 3: in the league at different times and you see those crossovers,
• 8:40
  Speaker 3: Like there's certain things that're very close and you can
• 8:42
  Speaker 3: see the friendship between them. But like that mentorship from
• 8:46
  Speaker 3: EJ helps that understanding of being able to keep calm.
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: The linebackerp is you need to be calm.
• 8:50
  Speaker 3: You need to communicate, you need to be the voice
• 8:53
  Speaker 3: of the defense that in the crazy moments when things
• 8:56
  Speaker 3: are moving super fast, they can hear you and everything's
• 8:59
  Speaker 3: just And.
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: EJ does a great job of that.
• 9:02
  Speaker 3: And I see some of those things kind of transferring
• 9:05
  Speaker 3: into team and that's a really cool thing.
• 9:08
  Speaker 2: Night in the preseason game that all your guys ran
• 9:10
  Speaker 2: off the sidelines.
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: Twice for sports from ice and celebrating into who was
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: your reaction to that.
• 9:17
  Speaker 3: I think, like Mike called it at that time, a
• 9:19
  Speaker 3: cost of doing business. I think you got I thought
• 9:25
  Speaker 3: it was pretty cool. I think you gotta understand it's
• 9:27
  Speaker 3: the preseason and you can't do that every time things
• 9:30
  Speaker 3: happen because that cost penalties. But as you're growing and
• 9:33
  Speaker 3: you really want to connect a group of people in
• 9:37
  Speaker 3: those situations in that point in time, I think, just
• 9:40
  Speaker 3: like Mike said, I think that's part of the growth
• 9:44
  Speaker 3: of this team to celebrate together, to drive an energy
• 9:49
  Speaker 3: and allow how those those things change momentums of games
• 9:53
  Speaker 3: and how they change the way you play in the
• 9:56
  Speaker 3: next moment you do things, you know, like so it
• 9:58
  Speaker 3: was kind of a cool picture unt all the time, honestly,
• 10:01
  Speaker 3: but no I thought it was cool.
• 10:03
  Speaker 2: Have you ever been on a team or seen that before.
• 10:09
  Speaker 3: I saw it one time when Theron plan is actually
• 10:13
  Speaker 3: in a season game when he got the pick to
• 10:16
  Speaker 3: break the record and they all cleared out and they
• 10:19
  Speaker 3: all jumped.
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: In the red bucket at the end of the stadium.
• 10:21
  Speaker 3: So that's a really cool moment.
• 10:24
  Speaker 2: There were some offenses that came into lu men last
• 10:26
  Speaker 2: year Buffalo Green Bay forty nine ers.
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: They got up to a pretty fast star. Yeah. How much
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: did that to attribute to the game plan versus execution?
• 10:34
  Speaker 2: And how much can you control when I do this thing?
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: I think you can control a lot.
• 10:38
  Speaker 3: You can control giving a menu that allows people to
• 10:40
  Speaker 3: play fast. I think as well you can contribute it
• 10:43
  Speaker 3: to understanding, like our fans are amazing, you know, like
• 10:47
  Speaker 3: and the way they I haven't played in the state.
• 10:50
  Speaker 3: I've played in the stadiums that are bigger than this,
• 10:53
  Speaker 3: and they're not as loud as this. They're not you
• 10:55
  Speaker 3: don't feel the crowd as much as you feel them here.
• 10:58
  Speaker 3: And I think I as you spoke to Dan Quinn
• 11:01
  Speaker 3: about this when I like last year, like, I was like,
• 11:04
  Speaker 3: if you used this, and he was like when he
• 11:06
  Speaker 3: first got it was I wasn't, And I thought so
• 11:08
  Speaker 3: I me and Michael talked about how we implement things
• 11:11
  Speaker 3: to help people communicate, help people operate in those situations,
• 11:15
  Speaker 3: and hopefully we'll get going.
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: You said, the menu.
• 11:20
  Speaker 2: Play is in a given game, like in a given game,
• 11:22
  Speaker 2: how how what kind of percentage is that like of
• 11:26
  Speaker 2: your overall labor, Like how.
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: Condensed is that?
• 11:29
  Speaker 3: It might as week to week you know, like it
• 11:31
  Speaker 3: can be quite a hot percentage at times, it can
• 11:34
  Speaker 3: be quite a low percentage. It matters what you want
• 11:36
  Speaker 3: to major in. It kind of changes on a week
• 11:38
  Speaker 3: by week basis and a game plan basis. But I
• 11:42
  Speaker 3: would say it very varies, so I couldn't give you
• 11:44
  Speaker 3: an exact time.
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: So on that, thanks guys,
