• 0:00
  Speaker 1: Look at the film from Saturday.
• 0:01
  Speaker 2: Just were some areas that you kind of want see
• 0:02
  Speaker 2: you guys progress this week.
• 0:04
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I think we got got to do a better
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: job with communication. I think that's probably the number one thing.
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: That's just everywhere, you know, even sideline operation, all that stuff.
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: So I think a.
• 0:14
  Speaker 3: Lot of that stuff first game, pre season, you know,
• 0:18
  Speaker 3: you see stuff like that and you get better at everything.
• 0:20
  Speaker 3: Well as we're focused on right now. I think the
• 0:21
  Speaker 3: guys have done a great job at that last two days,
• 0:23
  Speaker 3: so working hard and getting that right. They did a
• 0:26
  Speaker 3: lot of good things too.
• 0:27
  Speaker 2: First time calling a game for you on the sidelines.
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: Just what was that like? Yeah? I did it at
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: college a bunch when I was a boss to college.
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: But it was good.
• 0:34
  Speaker 3: It was fun, you know what I mean, watching the
• 0:36
  Speaker 3: guys compete. We didn't give them a whole lot. It
• 0:38
  Speaker 3: was kind of a small menu of what we did.
• 0:40
  Speaker 3: But you know, you go back, like every other game,
• 0:43
  Speaker 3: correct what's incorrect, try and get it.
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: Right, walk through it, get out here and practice it.
• 0:48
  Speaker 3: And that's kind of what we're doing in the in
• 0:51
  Speaker 3: the process of everything here with camp.
• 0:52
  Speaker 2: What sort of positives did you see from Saturday?
• 0:55
  Speaker 3: Not just the first team, but everything, yeah, I thought
• 0:57
  Speaker 3: I thought the positive is probably were I thought we
• 0:58
  Speaker 3: did a good job in a run game over roll.
• 1:01
  Speaker 3: You know, we were physical in the front the four
• 1:03
  Speaker 3: minutes stopped that was that was good to see. At
• 1:06
  Speaker 3: the end of the game, I thought the guys kept
• 1:07
  Speaker 3: competing that way.
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: You know, three and out early in the game was good.
• 1:11
  Speaker 3: But a lot of things are correct, but definitely some
• 1:13
  Speaker 3: positives there. And like I said, I thought the run game,
• 1:15
  Speaker 3: we did a pretty good job.
• 1:15
  Speaker 4: Overall prety well, so I think got you guys's tempo.
• 1:19
  Speaker 4: How do you prepare for that here this week?
• 1:21
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I think we've done a good job preparing for that.
• 1:23
  Speaker 3: Like I said, a lot of that is communication. Is
• 1:25
  Speaker 3: Kenyr cleats in the ground ready to go, So I think,
• 1:29
  Speaker 3: you know, the guys have done a great job with
• 1:31
  Speaker 3: that in the last two days, so I think we'll
• 1:33
  Speaker 3: be ready for that.
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 1:34
  Speaker 2: So that anything that would communication stuff, anything that was
• 1:37
  Speaker 2: more than what you would normally expect for a first
• 1:39
  Speaker 2: preseason game.
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean I thought some of it. I wanted
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: it to be better than it was.
• 1:44
  Speaker 3: You know, if that's you're asking for sure, but you know,
• 1:47
  Speaker 3: got new guys out there and new system and we're
• 1:50
  Speaker 3: working on that and we'll get it right.
• 1:52
  Speaker 2: With Tyson gamble down for a day or however many days.
• 1:55
  Speaker 2: Christian Bradswell has sort of been put in there. How
• 1:57
  Speaker 2: it's he performed this whole camp and we're he's progress.
• 2:01
  Speaker 3: He's done a great job. He's competed really hard to
• 2:02
  Speaker 3: hold camp. You know, I thought today he had a
• 2:04
  Speaker 3: good practice. He's been physical, so please put his effort
• 2:07
  Speaker 3: at this point.
• 2:08
  Speaker 2: Yeah, Dinnis Gardick, you know, full team drills.
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: What's it been like? Just starting to see him one day?
• 2:13
  Speaker 3: Been great. I mean he's a high EF fort guy.
• 2:14
  Speaker 3: If you've ever watched him play, you know he practices physical.
• 2:18
  Speaker 3: He had some really physical reps today. I think he
• 2:20
  Speaker 3: brings a lot of good traits out there on the
• 2:23
  Speaker 3: field with him. He's a good pass rusher, h physical
• 2:25
  Speaker 3: in the run game. So excited to have him out there.
• 2:27
  Speaker 2: Travis Hunter out there a lot on defense today and yeah,
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: I got to see a draft from him on Saturday night.
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: Yeah, you feel that out he's progressing at the corner.
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: He's doing a good job. I mean, he's he's progressing
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: every day.
• 2:37
  Speaker 3: Like I said, he's he's done a great job with
• 2:39
  Speaker 3: split in time on offense and defense.
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: So, uh, it's.
• 2:43
  Speaker 3: A tough task, but he's handled it really really well.
• 2:45
  Speaker 3: And like anything else, you know, those things are correct,
• 2:47
  Speaker 3: but some things he did really good.
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: The other day and you guys.
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: Were sitting down pulled his tract camp started, and you're
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: trying to come up with the schedule for Travis, and
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: how are you going to use him and all that
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: other stuff.
• 2:57
  Speaker 4: How who do you call to kind of get advice
• 2:59
  Speaker 4: on that, you know what I mean, Like, there's no
• 3:01
  Speaker 4: precedent to look at you.
• 3:02
  Speaker 3: I mean, I think Liam, like I said before a
• 3:04
  Speaker 3: couple of weeks ago, did a great job just laying
• 3:06
  Speaker 3: that out and it seemed very very Uh, he had
• 3:09
  Speaker 3: total clarity as to how he wanted to do it.
• 3:11
  Speaker 3: He really presented it and he's wait for all of
• 3:14
  Speaker 3: us to understand and he's managed Travis's time.
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: Really really well out here every day.
• 3:17
  Speaker 3: So he really was kind of the the guy that
• 3:22
  Speaker 3: drove the process on that, and I think he did
• 3:24
  Speaker 3: a really good job with it.
• 3:25
  Speaker 4: Interior of the defensive line, obviously, death kind of a
• 3:27
  Speaker 4: question with no Eric, no Mason right now, what have
• 3:30
  Speaker 4: you seen from the guys who have been out there.
• 3:32
  Speaker 3: Yeah, they competed hard. I thought Smooth had a good
• 3:34
  Speaker 3: game the other day. You know, the guys inside I
• 3:37
  Speaker 3: thought played pretty well overall. Like I said in the
• 3:39
  Speaker 3: run game, they played physical. We got some knockback, and
• 3:42
  Speaker 3: we're grinding blocks. But like like everybody else, it's a process.
• 3:45
  Speaker 3: You know, we're looking to improve every day with all
• 3:47
  Speaker 3: these guys.
• 3:48
  Speaker 4: I think you guys signed Austin Johnson, what like last Monday.
• 3:51
  Speaker 3: Yeah, he's been great. He's a total pro. I mean,
• 3:53
  Speaker 3: he's fit right in coming in the room. He's been
• 3:55
  Speaker 3: working his ass off every day. I'm a really good dude.
• 3:59
  Speaker 3: I'm happy to have him.
• 4:00
  Speaker 4: We talked about want to see maybe some tighter coverage
• 4:03
  Speaker 4: on that third down or whatever it was.
• 4:05
  Speaker 2: Did you guys just want to play all zone soft
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: all day or was that not soft?
• 4:09
  Speaker 3: But no, I think I think some of that is
• 4:12
  Speaker 3: situational awareness. You know, you want to be tighter on guys,
• 4:14
  Speaker 3: especially on the third downs. You know you can't give
• 4:16
  Speaker 3: them that space that we gave him on a couple
• 4:17
  Speaker 3: reps the other night. But part of that is some
• 4:20
  Speaker 3: young guys and getting that right over the course of
• 4:23
  Speaker 3: the game and correcting those things when you come back
• 4:24
  Speaker 3: in and that's where we're at in camp right now.
• 4:27
  Speaker 3: You know, still working, still work in progress, and got
• 4:29
  Speaker 3: to do a better job with some of those things.
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: In some ways.
• 4:32
  Speaker 4: Is it not enough time for these guys to get
• 4:34
  Speaker 4: in preseason, you know what I mean to kind of
• 4:36
  Speaker 4: get all that stuff.
• 4:37
  Speaker 3: No, I think I think the beautiful part of football
• 4:40
  Speaker 3: is you always got to understand times the enemy.
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: You know, time is the enemy.
• 4:44
  Speaker 3: That's what you're working again, So every walk through every meeting,
• 4:46
  Speaker 3: if you're not paying attention, if you're not dialed in
• 4:49
  Speaker 3: on all your reps, you know, your opportunities out there,
• 4:52
  Speaker 3: however many they may be, like you got to make
• 4:54
  Speaker 3: them count, you know. And I know that's like cliche.
• 4:56
  Speaker 3: Everybody says, oh, don't count the reps, make the reps count,
• 4:58
  Speaker 3: but like there's not enough time to not be locked
• 5:02
  Speaker 3: in what you're doing. So if you don't do that,
• 5:05
  Speaker 3: you sometimes you're learning on the fly. And I think
• 5:08
  Speaker 3: we'll learn from that last outing out there on the field.
• 5:11
  Speaker 4: Berel rotated a little bit with the first team defense
• 5:13
  Speaker 4: here today, and what do you want to see from
• 5:15
  Speaker 4: him in order to get more reps?
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: His role. What could his role be with the I
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: think he's a physical guy.
• 5:20
  Speaker 3: I think if you go back and watch the tape
• 5:22
  Speaker 3: the other night, I thought he played very very physical,
• 5:24
  Speaker 3: played downhill and he's really, like I said, for a
• 5:28
  Speaker 3: couple of these guys, he's learning it processing it all
• 5:31
  Speaker 3: right now. And I think he's picked it up pretty well.
• 5:33
  Speaker 3: He's had a last these last few weeks. He's been
• 5:35
  Speaker 3: pretty darn good and I thought he played well in
• 5:36
  Speaker 3: the game. So we just want to see the uptick
• 5:38
  Speaker 3: in progress, you know, with what he's done to this point,
• 5:41
  Speaker 3: and his production was pretty good the other.
• 5:42
  Speaker 4: Night and then Darnell getting a lot of run kind
• 5:45
  Speaker 4: of you know, pretty safety look coming off as a
• 5:47
  Speaker 4: pass rusher. What is his role right now for this defense.
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: You're talking about Savage?
• 5:52
  Speaker 3: Yeah, okay, I mean I think he's done a really
• 5:54
  Speaker 3: good job because he's moving around. You know, he's played
• 5:57
  Speaker 3: nickel played safety, like you said, And you have to
• 5:59
  Speaker 3: be a smart guy to do that, you know, and
• 6:01
  Speaker 3: he needs smart players and he is certainly that over
• 6:04
  Speaker 3: his career. He's done that. So he brings h he
• 6:07
  Speaker 3: brings a lot to us as a defensive guy that
• 6:08
  Speaker 3: we can count on. We feel like he does a
• 6:10
  Speaker 3: good job when he's back there at safety, and he's
• 6:11
  Speaker 3: done a good job at Nickel, you know, like everybody
• 6:14
  Speaker 3: else got some things to clean up from the game,
• 6:16
  Speaker 3: but he's working his ass off too, and you expect
• 6:18
  Speaker 3: him to be ready to go here when we play
• 6:21
  Speaker 3: the Saints.
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: From perspective, what did you see on touchdown play the
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: Donut Washington high catch?
• 6:26
  Speaker 3: Yeah, on that one, we just had a little bit
• 6:30
  Speaker 3: of aim there in the coverage, something we got to
• 6:32
  Speaker 3: clean up and which we cleaned up when we.
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: Got back in the next day, and that's really what happened.
• 6:38
  Speaker 2: I know we talked about daring last time at the
• 6:41
  Speaker 2: opportunity before him, But have you seen kind of the
• 6:43
  Speaker 2: same flip switch would Travis us now that Tyson's kind of.
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: Down, Eddie mean that like flip switch, realizing the opportunity
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: to get more rip that might not have been there.
• 6:54
  Speaker 3: Yeah, he's been He's been pretty locked in the whole
• 6:56
  Speaker 3: way though, you know, I mean, I think he's been
• 6:57
  Speaker 3: really serious about doing this and at a high level
• 7:00
  Speaker 3: on defense the entire time, So he was kind of
• 7:05
  Speaker 3: steady Eddy as far as that goes the whole way,
• 7:06
  Speaker 3: he's been locked in the whole time, and I wouldn't
• 7:08
  Speaker 3: necessarily say I see an uptick, but he's been pretty
• 7:10
  Speaker 3: disciplined in detail with it the whole way through.
• 7:13
  Speaker 2: Talking more smack the last few days.
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: Twenty two, Yeah, twenty two has been competing. He's doing
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: a good job. And I said this last time I
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: was up here, though.
• 7:20
  Speaker 3: He did a good job throughout the summer coming back
• 7:22
  Speaker 3: knowing the system, and he's competing with our receivers every day,
• 7:26
  Speaker 3: which is helping him get better. He's playing against good
• 7:27
  Speaker 3: guys out there, so he's doing a good job.
• 7:30
  Speaker 2: He had some fisticos out there today for the time
• 7:33
  Speaker 2: in camp.
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that's a good thing.
• 7:36
  Speaker 3: No, I think it means guys are usually competing. You
• 7:39
  Speaker 3: don't want guys fighting, you know, all day and wrecking
• 7:41
  Speaker 3: the practice.
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: There's not time for that.
• 7:42
  Speaker 3: But sometimes tempers flair and usually that means there's a
• 7:47
  Speaker 3: motion out there.
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: And I don't think that's a necessarily a bad thing.
• 7:50
  Speaker 3: We don't want to fighting each other all practice, but
• 7:52
  Speaker 3: the guys are getting heated and competing.
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: I think that's that's a good thing.
• 7:56
  Speaker 4: I should or not to maybe throw punches at guys
• 7:59
  Speaker 4: that are.
• 7:59
  Speaker 3: Wearing helmets Yeah, you don't want to do that. You
• 8:00
  Speaker 3: don't want to do that, you don't want to be
• 8:01
  Speaker 3: throwing punches at all. But you know, it's football. It's
• 8:03
  Speaker 3: an emotional game. We don't want to be you know,
• 8:05
  Speaker 3: nobody's worth fifteen is what we say. Nobody's worth fifteen yards.
• 8:09
  Speaker 3: So we don't want to do that. But in the
• 8:11
  Speaker 3: heat of the battle in camp, I'd be hard pressed
• 8:13
  Speaker 3: to say it was ever in a football camp where
• 8:15
  Speaker 3: there wasn't some emotion and then guys pushing and shoving
• 8:18
  Speaker 3: and all that.
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: So yeah, it's kind of status quo. Okay, well it's hurt.
• 8:22
  Speaker 2: Right now, But just how is that competition at safety gone?
• 8:25
  Speaker 2: And when do you guys hope to finalize who's starting there.
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: We're just gonna keep assessing that the whole way through.
• 8:31
  Speaker 3: You know, guys are gonna compete every day in practice,
• 8:32
  Speaker 3: They're gonna compete in the games. They're gonna compete all
• 8:34
  Speaker 3: the way through last week of the season. That's the
• 8:37
  Speaker 3: way I see it. I think that's the best thing
• 8:39
  Speaker 3: for a defense is to always have competition, you know,
• 8:43
  Speaker 3: And I think that drives the culture of the room.
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: When guys are constantly competing all the time. That's a
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: good thing.
• 8:49
  Speaker 3: We want high effort. We got that today though. We
• 8:51
  Speaker 3: had a really physical practice, good communication and high effort
• 8:55
  Speaker 3: and finished from all the guys safeties included.
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: So yeah, they're gonna be competing all the way through.
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: Thanks Thanks ch
