  Speaker 1: You know, obviously we're just looking at continue to keep
• 0:02
  Speaker 1: getting better, finding little things to grow out every day.
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: You know, personally, I feel, you know, really good, especially
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: putting on some waves, really just kind of getting your
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: legs back, getting the way back under you, getting acclimated
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: to the heat.
• 0:15
  Speaker 2: So just continuing to build, but feeling good right now.
• 0:18
  Speaker 2: The turnovers for the first couple of days of camp
• 0:20
  Speaker 2: from the defense are Are you pleased with the overall
• 0:22
  Speaker 2: performance that you guys have been putting on the field.
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: I think after assessing the first four days on the field,
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: I would say I'm pleased. You know, obviously it's always
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: room for improvement, but guys have been really communicating at
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: a high level, obviously flying around with a lot of effort,
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: and you know, capitalizing on obviously obviously the turnovers and
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: you know, the big players that we need to get
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: the ball back to the offense and playing sound defense.
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: So you know, I'm really excited about what coach is
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: doing with us, and I'm just looking to keep building
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: on that.
• 0:53
  Speaker 2: How much of that credit to Ryan?
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: Yeah, you credited a lot to Ryan, and all the
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: coaches are obviously teaching us the right techniques and then
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: the scheme helps us match you know, coverages, match our
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: offensive players, you know a little bit. So we're just
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: taking the space out of it. You know, majority of
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: the time we're closing on them, closing the ground on
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: right now, which we really appreciate. So yeah, yeah, I
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: put on around twelve to fifteen sitting around like two
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: fifty now, and it's just to play dominant, to play
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: strong throughout the season. Obviously, it helps for injury prevention
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: and really just to play physically stout. You know, that's
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: what the linebacker positions for. And if I can carry it,
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: you know, I'm gonna you know, put on a little
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: bit extra wait for sure. So yeah I do. Yeah,
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: I'm excited to you know, continue, you know, moving on
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: forward with this and going through a season and see
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: how my body feels.
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: I think I'm gonna feel a.
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: Lot better and stronger towards week eighteen and plus you
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: know that's really what it's for.
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: You.
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: I think it's gonna allow me to you know, you
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: bring up you know, match coverages. You know it's really
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: just you know, there's no you just basically take a
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: guy right now, you know, it's kind of no waiting
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: for them we're dictating it. They're not. We're not letting
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: them dictate us. So I really appreciate that and really
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: just playing downhill.
• 2:15
  Speaker 2: I think the phrase is attention to detail. A few
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: guys have mentioned that through this first week. What does
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: that look like for you and what does that really
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: mean to you?
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: I think it's just making sure there's no great area
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: on any levels and each call, you know, every call
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: has so many intricate details, and making sure that there's
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: no great area, and making sure we don't see it
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: one way and safety see it another way. You know,
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: everybody's on the same page. Communications at a high level,
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: and it's complace but simple, you know, it's it's relatively simple,
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: and so you know it's easy for everybody to just
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: be decisive.
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: How much similar we'll overlap is there with what you
• 2:53
  Speaker 2: ran at Utah and your role in that system and
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: your role in this system.
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: I would say me playing in the middle and then
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: us running a lot of nickel coverages. Outside of that,
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: it's not too much. Honestly, there's there's really not a
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: lot of similarities. But other than you know, playing in
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: the middle, really you know you're to quit.
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: Or perhaps go on the you know, get after the quarterback.
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: Do you see that coming?
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: We'll see, you know, I think, uh, I know he
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: believes in my skill set. We've talked about that. So
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: we still have we have most of the defense, and
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: there's still some stuff. There's still so a lot of
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: third down stuff is where it will show up that
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: we need to go over, you know.
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: But I know he believes in my skill set, and
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: I believe in my skill set. So we'll see. So
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: you guys got the offense frustrated after these first four days.
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: I think we're all just looking to get better.
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: You know, everybody has areas of improvement, and so you know,
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: they make some plays, won't make some plays.
• 3:49
  Speaker 2: W We're That's what it's about. The iron strepends iron.
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: We just continue to, you know, help each other one another,
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: you know, get to where we wanna be so we
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: can be in the super Bowl, which is where we
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: all want to.
• 3:59
  Speaker 2: Be play right now. Just how does that sort of
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: fit into your skill set? Maybe differently than it might
• 4:07
  Speaker 2: have been past years.
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm really just being in the middle, being in
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: the box. I think obviously me putting all weight that helps,
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: you know, engaging linemen, and I think that's really where
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: I do. Most of my damage is in the middle
