1:08
Speaker 1: lot of different things.

Speaker 4: But yeah, do you are you gonna miss Arizona and
1:16

1:18
Speaker 3: I think there's a time and place.
1:19
Speaker 1: You know, before I came here, I was in ag
1:21
Speaker 1: so you know, this time for me to go work
1:24
Speaker 1: out there.
1:24
Speaker 3: And you know, I'm getting older, so you know things
1:26
Speaker 3: are gonna probably change a.
1:28
Speaker 1: Little bit throughout the year. I just have to find
1:29
Speaker 1: out what works best for me, you know, each and
1:31
Speaker 1: every year. Can't can't try to recreate things I did
1:34
Speaker 1: last year. Got to create a year within itself and
1:36
Speaker 1: you know, learn to adapt, which I'm learning. But being
1:40
Speaker 1: here has been awesome. I enjoyed you know, everything about it.
1:44
Speaker 4: And you know, can it be beneficial with the new
1:47
Speaker 4: staff awesome?
1:48
Speaker 1: Yeah, definitely definitely getting there, Uh, getting their terminology because
1:53
Speaker 1: just different things that we've used last year that they use.
1:56
Speaker 3: It's like on like D line fronts. You know, it's
1:59
Speaker 3: switch for us, you know.
2:00
Speaker 1: So uh, I'm still processing you know, jet front and
2:04
Speaker 1: restaurant from last year to this year, cause I'm so
2:07
Speaker 1: used to one thing. But I have to translate into
2:10
Speaker 1: different culting staff terminology.
2:11
Speaker 3: But uh, it's going good. They're they're being very patient
2:14
Speaker 3: with us.
2:15
Speaker 1: Uh, but we're also being very studious as a team,
2:17
Speaker 1: as a as players of getting it.
2:20
Speaker 3: So we're doing good.
2:21
Speaker 4: Did you ever hit to eighty last year?
2:23
Speaker 3: I mean I got up to two. I was like
2:28
Speaker 3: two eighty five.
2:29
Speaker 1: I was much bigger, and you know, my mindset was
2:34
Speaker 1: always you know, to be as dominant, but you know
2:38
Speaker 1: it was a little obviously holding a little bit more
2:41
Speaker 1: weight kind of you know, puts a little bit more
2:43
Speaker 1: wear and tear on the body, and just you know,
2:46
Speaker 1: it was a lot too much. Again, learned to adapt,
2:51
Speaker 1: gotta know know what works best for you. Something I
2:54
Speaker 1: tried and something that I'm like, alright, I probably don't
2:58
Speaker 1: wanna do that again.
3:00
Speaker 3: Uh.
3:00
Speaker 1: So we're working on maintaining, uh a good goal for
3:03
Speaker 1: me this year and you know, put some good tape
3:06
Speaker 1: out there.
3:07
Speaker 3: Did that have.
3:10
Speaker 1: Towards the end of the year, See, I don't know,
3:11
Speaker 1: because like I was also getting banged up a lot more.
3:15
Speaker 1: My body was was not cooperating as much as I
3:17
Speaker 1: wanted to, you know, but I take care of my
3:19
Speaker 1: body to the most. But it was a little bit different,
3:23
Speaker 1: So I don't know if that had something to do
3:24
Speaker 1: with the weight. So, uh so that's something I took
3:27
Speaker 1: in consideration coming into this year.
3:29
Speaker 3: And uh, well yeah, what's the goal number this year?
3:32
Speaker 6: To sixty five?
3:34
Speaker 7: Uh?
3:34
Speaker 1: To break the sack record? Uh, be an All Pro
3:39
Speaker 1: and win Defensive Player of the Year.
3:41
Speaker 5: What do you weigh this year though? Like when when
3:43
Speaker 5: you come into camp, do you want to be in
3:45
Speaker 5: that to sixty five range?
3:46
Speaker 1: Want to be a dominant mindset? I don't want to
3:49
Speaker 1: be too eighty five? What do you think?
3:52
Speaker 3: I mean?
3:53
Speaker 1: All right, yes, yes, heavious and and I felt it too,
3:58
Speaker 1: but you know, I feel great. I ran twenty miles
4:02
Speaker 1: power the other yes, the other day, so you know,
4:05
Speaker 1: we can mark that up.
4:06
Speaker 4: So so I still got it.
4:10
Speaker 1: In a long time, okay a long time, but that
4:13
Speaker 1: was for me chasing my kids.
4:14
Speaker 3: So but we still counted.
4:16
Speaker 5: I mean, everybody up front they wanted to get bigger.
4:20
Speaker 6: So was it collectively?
4:21
Speaker 8: Did y'all just not feel as effective as you wanted
4:24
Speaker 8: to be?
4:25
Speaker 6: You think, lass?
4:26
Speaker 8: I can't.
4:26
Speaker 1: I can't really speak on everybody's situation. I can only
4:29
Speaker 1: speak on minds. Uh and minds? Was you know I
4:34
Speaker 1: can't go into another season thinking about my weight, you
4:39
Speaker 1: know what I mean. So that's why this year, you know,
4:42
Speaker 1: coming back, just come back in that mindset, in that
4:46
Speaker 1: in that weight class that I feel like I need
4:48
Speaker 1: to be and is dominant as.
4:50
Speaker 3: Fast can move, you know.
4:51
Speaker 1: I don't wanna get off the field, you know, and
4:55
Speaker 1: and that allows me to you know, lose a little pound,
4:58
Speaker 1: lose a couple of weight, cause I don't want to
4:59
Speaker 1: get the field.
4:59
Speaker 3: I want to Uh.
5:00
Speaker 1: I wanna do what's best for my team. I wanna
5:02
Speaker 1: play at a high level each and every rep, you know,
5:04
Speaker 1: get out, get a squirt of order, and then come
5:07
Speaker 1: back in and fit and play four or five plays
5:08
Speaker 1: if we needed full speed and take over games. So
5:11
Speaker 1: that's my mentality. Uh, that's the mindset, and that's the
5:14
Speaker 1: still go At the end of the day.
5:16
Speaker 4: Quickly, did you guys flush last season defensively?
5:19
Speaker 3: The des Uh?
5:27
Speaker 7: Next question, like Coach Camp Ellie was spending a lot
5:31
Speaker 7: of time with you guys.
5:32
Speaker 6: Uh during the early periods.
5:34
Speaker 7: What would like had a decordinator like, you know, really
5:36
Speaker 7: focusing on the details that you.
5:37
Speaker 3: Guys were doing.
5:38
Speaker 1: Definitely, Uh, Coach Camp has been awesome This whole. He's
5:41
Speaker 1: never t like I know everybody says the mentality, the personality,
5:45
Speaker 1: the personal person.
5:46
Speaker 3: That he is. He's just a lot. He's a lot.
5:49
Speaker 1: But it's nice, you know, cause you step into that
5:52
Speaker 1: mean room, you're gonna expect one thing, you know, And
5:56
Speaker 1: it's not just screaming. It's the passion, is the love.
5:58
Speaker 1: It's the love of the game that he had. Kalay's
6:00
Speaker 1: always told me, man, if you want to be great
6:01
Speaker 1: at something, you had to love, you gotta respect it.
6:04
Speaker 1: And so for me, he gives off that. He respects
6:06
Speaker 1: the game. He loves it, he loves the team, he
6:08
Speaker 1: loves the players that he's that is playing for him.
6:10
Speaker 1: And I can only give us trust and faith that
6:13
Speaker 1: if we go out there and give him everything we got.
6:15
Speaker 1: You know, I would love to keep seeing that upbeat
6:18
Speaker 1: and when he's calm, that's when it's like, all right,
6:21
Speaker 1: somebody's about to get cursed out in.
6:24
Speaker 3: A good way.
6:25
Speaker 7: This is a little bit all talk of last season.
6:27
Speaker 7: You had a Guardian cap. You were for one game.
6:29
Speaker 7: What was it like wearing the Guardian cap? Did you
6:31
Speaker 7: like it? Did you not like it?
6:34
Speaker 3: You know?
6:35
Speaker 1: Uh, it's just you know, personally, you know. It was
6:41
Speaker 1: just I don't I don't think like I will wear
6:45
Speaker 1: it again, but I can see the uses of having it.
6:48
Speaker 1: So the guys that are wearing it, there's no shade
6:50
Speaker 1: or no knock. I think if you wear it, you
6:53
Speaker 1: know you're thinking about long term stuff. So kudos to
6:57
Speaker 1: them and continue to wear it.
6:59
Speaker 3: Nothing.
6:59
Speaker 1: I don't want to say anything negative about it, but
7:01
Speaker 1: for personally, I probably won't do it.
7:03
Speaker 3: It just felt a little maybe.
7:05
Speaker 1: I mean, it's not heavy, it's a it it It's
7:07
Speaker 1: like your brain's telling you that it's heavy, I think,
7:11
Speaker 1: and I don't wanna again. I don't wanna think about
7:13
Speaker 1: something when I'm already thinking about whooping a person in
7:15
Speaker 1: front of me.
7:16
Speaker 3: You know.
7:17
Speaker 1: It's just like the way thing like I don't wanna
7:19
Speaker 1: think about going to a season like my weight, my weight,
7:21
Speaker 1: my weight, cause I gotta think about I gotta whoop
7:23
Speaker 1: this dude in front of me, you know. So that's
7:26
Speaker 1: just one more thing that I just don't wanna worry about.
7:29
Speaker 8: Back to camp quick, Josh, did you know about him
7:32
Speaker 8: when you were in high school? Cause obviously he started
7:33
Speaker 8: coaching at Scotch Plains and then obviously it's.
7:37
Speaker 1: I didn't, but we woulda for short whooped him that
7:40
Speaker 1: we would have played against 'em.
7:42
Speaker 3: You know that's I don't want. I don't want better
7:44
Speaker 3: now now I want Bosco, Saint Peter's, all them private schools.
7:47
Speaker 1: We woulda we would have whoop 'em back in the day.
7:51
Speaker 3: C posted tag it come on man, best public school
7:56
Speaker 3: in the in the nation, joshod Do. Sometimes Yeah, tell.
7:59
Speaker 4: Huh trained away from here cause.
8:03
Speaker 6: He reported to be here this year.
8:04
Speaker 1: Uh yeah, I think it kind of spoken at but no, no, no,
8:09
Speaker 1: you're good. You know you my god I message, Yeah,
8:12
Speaker 1: you might get all y'all my pupils. But uh, you know,
8:16
Speaker 1: I think I told myself, you know, even last going
8:19
Speaker 1: into like even the next season last year, I was
8:21
Speaker 1: gonna be back in old Today's this year. And then
8:23
Speaker 1: you know, when we hired coach uh Liam. You know,
8:26
Speaker 1: it was that connection that I had with him, you know,
8:28
Speaker 1: that conn that Kentucky connection I had with him to
8:31
Speaker 1: give him, you know, to help him out to be
8:34
Speaker 1: there for him to be one of the guys that
8:36
Speaker 1: he can trust and lean into this season. And then
8:40
Speaker 1: I had a lot of coach Kentucky coaches calling me.
8:42
Speaker 1: You know, coach White that I loved dearly, who's the
8:45
Speaker 1: DC at Kentucky now called me.
8:46
Speaker 3: Was like, yeah, you're gonna be there.
8:49
Speaker 1: Yeah, you know, so I you know that summer I
8:51
Speaker 1: already had him back in my mind of coming back
8:53
Speaker 1: and doing it no matter who we would have had,
8:56
Speaker 1: cause I got big goals that I need to do.
8:58
Speaker 3: And you know, again, it's all about adapt thing figuring
9:00
Speaker 3: out what works.
9:02
Speaker 1: And so this year I thought coming to OTAs would
9:05
Speaker 1: be a good sign for me, and uh, you know
9:08
Speaker 1: it's paying off pretty well. To take a question, that's okay, Jane,
9:13
Speaker 1: we will we will be missed.
9:15
Speaker 4: Okay, So confidence level that you guys can get back
9:18
Speaker 4: to where you were and have played defense in it's
9:21
Speaker 4: been a minute since you guys have been a really
9:23
Speaker 4: good dominant defense.
9:24
Speaker 6: What is your conference?
9:25
Speaker 4: Let that the energy and the juice and everything will
9:28
Speaker 4: be back to where I.
9:29
Speaker 3: Mean it starts, it starts right now.
9:32
Speaker 1: You know, we can you know, coach Coach Camp has
9:35
Speaker 1: a saying, you know, talk is cheap. You know, we
9:37
Speaker 1: can talk about how good we're going to be, how
9:40
Speaker 1: you know great legendary our defense or individual.
9:43
Speaker 3: Players can be. It's all about the work we put
9:45
Speaker 3: in every.
9:45
Speaker 1: Day, the communication that we have in the red zone,
9:48
Speaker 1: backed up situations, playing good situational football, knowing what everybody
9:53
Speaker 1: has to do, being in the right place.
9:54
Speaker 3: And it starts out here.
9:56
Speaker 1: If we can stack great days out here and keep
9:59
Speaker 1: doing it, and then we put the pads on, we
10:02
Speaker 1: can continue to you know, be physical upfront. You know,
10:05
Speaker 1: linebacker's flying downhill, dB staying in the backfield because we
10:08
Speaker 1: don't need it because we're stopping were stopping the run
10:10
Speaker 1: up front, and we.
10:11
Speaker 3: Got pass rushers that can rush, you know.
10:13
Speaker 1: So again, it's just all about that trust and you know,
10:17
Speaker 1: we got a good team, good players, and you know,
10:19
Speaker 1: I'm excited to play for these boys.
10:21
Speaker 3: Where have you guys progressed at so far?
10:22
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think today was probably the most balanced, uh
10:27
Speaker 2: it's been where offense make a play, defense come.
10:30
Speaker 6: Back make a play.
10:31
Speaker 2: I thought it was just a good competitive back and forth,
10:34
Speaker 2: whereas maybe in days prior there's been more Okay, the
10:38
Speaker 2: offense has a really good day in the defense not
10:40
Speaker 2: and vice versas the defense has a good day and
10:42
Speaker 2: the offense.
10:42
Speaker 6: Has ticked off, specifically myself.
10:45
Speaker 2: But you know, I thought today was just a good
10:48
Speaker 2: balance of guys making plays and then coming back, Okay,
10:52
Speaker 2: who needs to make a play? Who's going to stop
10:54
Speaker 2: the bleeding on each side when maybe the offense or
10:56
Speaker 2: defense is making more. So I think just that competitive
10:59
Speaker 2: balance maybe has progressed over the last six or seven practices.
11:03
Speaker 2: And I just thought today was probably a little bit
11:06
Speaker 2: cleaner in terms of it wasn't just like all right,
11:09
Speaker 2: a ton of drop balls or fun, you know, just
11:11
Speaker 2: some of the fundamentals were cleaned up a little bit today.
11:13
Speaker 6: Was it perfect? No, But I think that's maybe an
11:15
Speaker 6: area where we progress today.
11:17
Speaker 8: Previous years a lot was made about red zone and
11:20
Speaker 8: certainly the growth there or lack thereof what do you
11:23
Speaker 8: make so far of that portion of the field for
11:25
Speaker 8: Trevor and come.
11:26
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think he's actually done a really nice job
11:28
Speaker 2: in the red zone. Really looking back to the first
11:30
Speaker 2: time that we did it last Friday, when we did it,
11:35
Speaker 2: I think he made some quick decisions. You know, everything
11:38
Speaker 2: is sped up in the red area when the timing,
11:40
Speaker 2: the rhythm, the space, it's all tighter, it's all sped up.
11:43
Speaker 2: I thought he's done a nice job with his footwork
11:45
Speaker 2: in the red zone understanding that concept and ultimately, like
11:49
Speaker 2: good teams in the red zone are able to run
11:51
Speaker 2: the football into the end zone, and it's hard to
11:54
Speaker 2: do that in this setting. So a lot of it
11:57
Speaker 2: is kind of geared towards practicing the past game, the timing,
12:01
Speaker 2: the rhythm, the protections, understanding when zero blitz is coming.
12:05
Speaker 6: Versus drop eight.
12:06
Speaker 2: So those are the things we're getting work at, and
12:08
Speaker 2: I think he's done a nice job of executing in
12:11
Speaker 2: that area so far.
12:13
Speaker 7: Rookie Glass starts kind of settling in and now that
12:15
Speaker 7: they've got a few under their belts.
12:16
Speaker 2: A little bit, you can definitely see where maybe some
12:19
Speaker 2: of those guys are working with the first group or
12:22
Speaker 2: even the second group. You know, you see some of
12:24
Speaker 2: those guys being thrust into some of these situations, whether
12:28
Speaker 2: it be because they've you know, a earned those reps
12:30
Speaker 2: or maybe some injuries in the back end. You know,
12:34
Speaker 2: those guys are having to take some quality reps, which
12:36
Speaker 2: has been great, and then they get a good developmental
12:39
Speaker 2: period going on right now where they're going to get
12:41
Speaker 2: about ten to fifteen plays every day after practice. So
12:45
Speaker 2: you see those guys doing what walkthroughs on their own.
12:48
Speaker 2: I go down and lift in the weight room, and
12:49
Speaker 2: they're in the indoor walking through. So they're definitely trying
12:52
Speaker 2: to do the right things to help put them in
12:54
Speaker 2: a position to be successful.
12:55
Speaker 6: How would you say the all the mind is coming
12:58
Speaker 6: in this said Ota.
12:59
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think they've they've actually done a really nice
13:02
Speaker 2: job over the last specifically maybe three days, just in
13:05
Speaker 2: terms of the communication.
13:08
Speaker 6: What we're asking them.
13:09
Speaker 2: From a fundamental technique standpoint, it's really hard to see
13:13
Speaker 2: the maybe the grit and the finish and the toughness
13:17
Speaker 2: fully on display in these settings just because of the
13:21
Speaker 2: rules and regulations that we have, and we're obviously trying
13:24
Speaker 2: to improve every day as a unit offensively, defensively special teams.
13:28
Speaker 2: But I do think that that group's done a nice
13:30
Speaker 2: job specifically over the last few days.
13:33
Speaker 3: Why am I thank rookies like trying to just to
13:35
Speaker 3: an assistance.
13:36
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think they've both, you know, done a nice job.
13:38
Speaker 2: I'll be honest. I mean, sometimes when you don't notice
13:42
Speaker 2: OL as much, it's typically because they're doing a good job.
13:45
Speaker 2: And specifically with with Wyatt, I think you just see
13:49
Speaker 2: some of the length the side show up, especially inside
13:51
Speaker 2: at guard playing a position a little bit foreign to them,
13:54
Speaker 2: you know, based on last year's production and so typically
13:57
Speaker 2: when you don't notice those guys up front, it's a
13:59
Speaker 2: good thing.
14:00
Speaker 3: And ants out to.
14:01
Speaker 7: You about Foya Lukan and what have you learned about
14:03
Speaker 7: him as a professional?
14:04
Speaker 6: Yeah, like what you just said was the pro the
14:06
Speaker 6: pros pro.
14:08
Speaker 2: He's early that every meeting, sitting down ready to go,
14:14
Speaker 2: communicates out there at a really high level. Wants to
14:16
Speaker 2: understand the intent behind each call. He asks phenomenal questions
14:21
Speaker 2: in the meeting room settings, especially when the whole defense
14:24
Speaker 2: is in there. Some of the things that he brings
14:26
Speaker 2: up really forces any engagement within the whole group, with
14:32
Speaker 2: the coaches, the players, different position groups. I just think
14:35
Speaker 2: he has a really nice way of communicating things that
14:39
Speaker 2: he may not understand that maybe other people are also
14:42
Speaker 2: not understanding, and so it just kind of brings collaborative
14:46
Speaker 2: communication together that I think he's, like I said, he's
14:49
Speaker 2: a pros pro voluntary.
14:51
Speaker 6: But we can't see Antoine out there, just curious on
14:53
Speaker 6: where he.
14:54
Speaker 2: Was or ah, yeah, he just had a day off today,
14:56
Speaker 2: wasn't feeling too well.
14:57
Speaker 3: Wake Travis.
14:58
Speaker 2: He's been on defense is to o well, you know,
15:03
Speaker 2: Milo came up to me after practice and said, can
15:07
Speaker 2: we have him more?
15:08
Speaker 6: You know, and so that's a good thing, right.
15:12
Speaker 2: You know, we were in the red area last on
15:13
Speaker 2: Friday and didn't end up making any like plays on
15:16
Speaker 2: the ball, but just the movement skills and some of
15:19
Speaker 2: the man coverages, the feel and zone, you can definitely
15:24
Speaker 2: see how natural it is for him. Still learning, still growing,
15:28
Speaker 2: still trying to learn.
15:30
Speaker 6: The calls as much as possible.
15:31
Speaker 2: But when you see him just in the actual seven
15:34
Speaker 2: on in team setting, he doesn't look out of place
15:37
Speaker 2: by any means.
15:38
Speaker 8: One thing that I know Josh said today, we heard
15:41
Speaker 8: it a little bit from Trayvon, heard it from Eric
15:43
Speaker 8: on Oscher's podcast, This idea of players who want to
15:47
Speaker 8: get lathered up on the defensive side of the ball
15:49
Speaker 8: and not maybe not be rotated out as much, actually
15:51
Speaker 8: play first, second, third down. In your assessment of the
15:54
Speaker 8: roster from last year, how much was that a point
15:56
Speaker 8: of emphasis to ensure that a forty one to forty
15:58
Speaker 8: four they're on the field as much as yeah, that's
16:00
Speaker 8: the goal.
16:01
Speaker 2: Ultimately you've got it. It is a fine it's a
16:05
Speaker 2: little bit of a balance of keeping guys fresh and
16:09
Speaker 2: wanting you know, you always hear the term waves of rushers,
16:12
Speaker 2: but ultimately you've got to have your best guys on
16:16
Speaker 2: the field as much as possible, and especially in those
16:19
Speaker 2: money downs, whether it be in the third downs, known
16:22
Speaker 2: passing situations, and in the red zone.
16:24
Speaker 6: Right, So, I do think it's a balance.
16:26
Speaker 2: But ultimately, if they're in the physical shape to be
16:30
Speaker 2: able to do it and to play down in and
16:32
Speaker 2: down out consistently, that will be really important for us.
16:35
Speaker 2: Those guys are going to have to be in elite shape.
16:37
Speaker 2: They've done a great job of getting to that point
16:39
Speaker 2: thus far, and think that there are you know, on
16:42
Speaker 2: on track to do those things.
16:43
Speaker 6: In this fall.
16:45
Speaker 5: Before about being an offensive minded coach and what you
16:50
Speaker 5: mentioned the balance the defense makes place. Do you feel
16:52
Speaker 5: like you're learning how to handle that side of it,
16:55
Speaker 5: you know a little bit more, or is it still
16:57
Speaker 5: offense primarily?
16:59
Speaker 2: I think last week, you know, there was a it
17:03
Speaker 2: was actually a comical play in the red area and
17:05
Speaker 2: seven on where Deanmi Brown makes a one handed catch
17:09
Speaker 2: kind of behind him like this. It seems as if
17:12
Speaker 2: he came down with the play and I'm kind of
17:14
Speaker 2: going nuts. All of a sudden, Jordan Lewis comes out
17:18
Speaker 2: with the ball and starts running it down this way,
17:20
Speaker 2: and I start running with him, So right in that moment,
17:24
Speaker 2: I'm excited in pump for the offense, but then had
17:27
Speaker 2: to just innately switch to being excited for the defense.
17:31
Speaker 2: So ultimately it is a little bit of a challenge
17:34
Speaker 2: at times. I think just naturally my mind goes a
17:38
Speaker 2: little bit more to the offensive side. If we don't
17:40
Speaker 2: have a good day, or if we don't complete a ball,
17:43
Speaker 2: I'm probably gonna be a little bit more upset, but
17:46
Speaker 2: still learning, still growing.
17:47
Speaker 7: What have you seen from ut in so far?
17:49
Speaker 2: I mean, he's done every day everything we've asked him
17:53
Speaker 2: to do. He's done at a at a good click
17:56
Speaker 2: for us. I mean the ability in the screen game
17:59
Speaker 2: to hand him jet sweeps his vision so far, and
18:02
Speaker 2: the run game has been good.
18:04
Speaker 6: You know, he's done everything we've asked him to do
18:07
Speaker 6: and more.
18:08
Speaker 2: There's been a consistency again some one of those things
18:12
Speaker 2: where you know he can shine in ways in space.
18:15
Speaker 2: It's really hard to see a runner in this setting.
18:19
Speaker 2: Are they going to get the hard, physical, tough yards.
18:21
Speaker 2: Are they gonna be able to stick their foot in
18:23
Speaker 2: the ground and get those you know, physical violent yards
18:25
Speaker 2: that we're gonna need. That's hard to really kind of
18:28
Speaker 2: great at this moment, he's done a great job. I
18:31
Speaker 2: don't I don't really understand some of the stuff I've
18:33
Speaker 2: kind of seen out there. That's that's absolutely inaccurate. From
18:38
Speaker 2: later in the day to earlier.
18:39
Speaker 4: You get a lot of feedback from the players on
18:41
Speaker 4: on that and think thinking you.
18:43
Speaker 2: Maybe, yeah, you know, I think that early on you're
18:46
Speaker 2: you're just you set a schedule and and then you
18:49
Speaker 2: have to always I think, be fluid, right, like if
18:52
Speaker 2: we're just gonna sit here and say we're gonna bang
18:55
Speaker 2: our heads against the wall and do a long practice
18:58
Speaker 2: to what's the points The goal is to get good
19:01
Speaker 2: quality work for them to walk off the field during
19:04
Speaker 2: OTA's feeling like they yeah, they got lathered up, they
19:07
Speaker 2: got a good workout in that. But not to just
19:09
Speaker 2: have them keeled over dying. That's not this phase. That's
19:12
Speaker 2: not what it's about. Do you want to stress them
19:16
Speaker 2: physically and mentally, absolutely, But to me, this is more
19:19
Speaker 2: of a mental above the neck time to stress these guys.
19:22
Speaker 2: So yeah, after the first couple we kind of peeled
19:25
Speaker 2: it back a little bit and and just try to
19:27
Speaker 2: kind of freshen it up a little bit.
19:28
Speaker 3: A couple more guys come Josh.
19:30
Speaker 8: Hid out and come to OTAs to like having a
19:33
Speaker 8: leader like him show up for these are mandatory.
19:36
Speaker 6: Yeah, it's it's huge.
19:37
Speaker 2: It's something that ultimately you want to be the standard
19:41
Speaker 2: for everybody, right, for everybody to want to be here
19:46
Speaker 2: with what we have available to us, with this facility,
19:50
Speaker 2: with the training, with the strength and conditioning, with the nutrition,
19:54
Speaker 2: you want guys to want to be here and not
19:56
Speaker 2: have to feel like they need to go elsewhere to
19:58
Speaker 2: get quality work in for the themselves.
20:00
Speaker 6: So that's been huge.
20:02
Speaker 2: It's been huge for to have him here, especially you
20:05
Speaker 2: know what he's been going through personally with his family,
20:07
Speaker 2: and for him to be here as much as he
20:09
Speaker 2: has has been really really instrumental off.
20:13
Speaker 6: For our defense and excuse me, and for our entire team.
20:16
Speaker 8: As far as DB's go. You know, obviously you're rotating
20:18
Speaker 8: guys in and out, but what do you make so
20:20
Speaker 8: far of the competition at that room, especially on the outside.
20:22
Speaker 6: Man, they've got their hands on a lot of balls
20:24
Speaker 6: so far.
20:25
Speaker 2: I mean, just having some more vision on the quarterback
20:28
Speaker 2: and some of the zone coverages and then shoot when
20:30
Speaker 2: we've been able to play.
20:31
Speaker 6: Man.
20:32
Speaker 2: It's something that they've been doing for quite some time
20:35
Speaker 2: last year, and so they've done a nice job. And man,
20:38
Speaker 2: I think Tyson's done a nice job with his hands
20:40
Speaker 2: and feet at the at the second and third levels.
20:42
Speaker 2: You saw him on Tariff make a nice play again today.
20:45
Speaker 2: He's been steadying, consistent. You know, that whole group has
20:50
Speaker 2: done a really good job. Jordan Lewis, Jarion Jones, that
20:53
Speaker 2: whole crew of guys. It's been competitive. It's been a
20:56
Speaker 2: learning curve obviously. You know, when you're used to playing
20:59
Speaker 2: so much, man, going back and playing a little bit
21:02
Speaker 2: of zone, as it sounds, could be a little bit
21:05
Speaker 2: challenging based on where your eyes are and the discipline
21:08
Speaker 2: things like that. I think they've done a nice job
21:10
Speaker 2: though so far. Outside predominantly, Yeah, he goes inside a
21:15
Speaker 2: little bit, but primarily outside. Be able to still get
21:18
Speaker 2: him some nickel reps. And you know he's eager, he's
21:21
Speaker 2: eager to learn. He's him and Jordan Lewis walk around
21:24
Speaker 2: everywhere together, saw him at church yesterday together. So you know,
21:28
Speaker 2: it's a good person for Jarring to continue to learn from.
21:31
Speaker 2: And and both of those guys are doing a good job.
21:34
Speaker 6: You made sure when you got hired just how impresses.
21:36
Speaker 2: Some of the things Brian did on tape was now
21:38
Speaker 2: that you're actually here with him in person, just what's
21:39
Speaker 2: it been like.
21:40
Speaker 6: Yeah, he's got those freakish talent.
21:42
Speaker 2: Man, he's got some freaking freakish traits, and just his
21:46
Speaker 2: attention to detail in the meeting room setting, being able
21:50
Speaker 2: to answer questions. You know, you see some of his
21:53
Speaker 2: personality come to life as well. But you see when
21:56
Speaker 2: we get into competitive situations, there's definitely a little bit
22:00
Speaker 2: of an uptick. You get the feedback from some of
22:03
Speaker 2: these guys, especially when it's scripted, they're just kind of like,
22:05
Speaker 2: again again, you.
22:06
Speaker 6: Know, why is it?
22:07
Speaker 2: So we start doing more call it and you start
22:10
Speaker 2: to see, especially VT come to life. The ability for
22:13
Speaker 2: a big dude like him to be able to operate
22:16
Speaker 2: in the slot, run some of the choice and option routes,
22:19
Speaker 2: but also to be able to go vertical and catch
22:22
Speaker 2: the ball down the field.
22:23
Speaker 6: He's been a real pleasure to work with so far.
22:26
Speaker 6: App Thanks guys,
