• 0:00
  Speaker 1: Off a little bit.
• 0:02
  Speaker 2: How are we doing.
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: It's not your side of the expertise, but when they're
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: running the ball on offense, and really, what kind of
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: tone does that seventh year to you? It's that's a
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: tone of you know, a validation that our work's going
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: to something the offense. I mean, all of a sudden,
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: defense are talking on the sidelines excited about kind of
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: the flow that we had on offense today. When you're
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: able to stay kind of on cadence on timing ahead
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: of the sticks, it is awesome. And I don't know
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: the final numbers at the time of possession all that stuff,
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: but I mean, we see what it can be. And
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: now obviously it's week or two of preseason. We's got
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: to go rip of the season.
• 0:40
  Speaker 2: You're a seventh year vet year starter. You don't necessarily
• 0:43
  Speaker 2: need the preseason. But what don't say about you and
• 0:47
  Speaker 2: the way you play the game of your fourth down
• 0:49
  Speaker 2: in the two hundred and thirty.
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: Pounds full back and all. I don't know I find
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: value in the preseason. Uh maybe not playing a ton
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: of snaps, but I don't know, I feel like I
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: just want to hit, you know, the week one of
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: the regulars and was like, just hit the ground running.
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: I need to get a few tackles, you know, under
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: my belt. Cadence. You know, we have some new bodies
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: out there. I want them to understand how I communicate,
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: how I, uh, how I operate on game day and yeah,
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: game days is you know, it's a different breath in practice.
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: As much as you can try to simulate the game, uh,
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: people just you know, you learn something new about somebody
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: when they're out there on the field on game days.
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: And so I like playing playing a little bit in preseason.
• 1:26
  Speaker 2: Maybe it's too simple, but it seems like that's the
• 1:29
  Speaker 2: formula that you guys want to have. If you could
• 1:31
  Speaker 2: script a game, that's the way it would go. To
• 1:33
  Speaker 2: see that kind of in address rehearsal.
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: Type situation for you guys, kind of play out that way.
• 1:37
  Speaker 2: How encouraging is that for you guys?
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: It's really encouraging. Uh, I mean it was. Yeah, I
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: don't think you could script a better on offense. Uh,
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: in terms of the flow of how we want to play.
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: Then we're able to run the ball obviously, work play
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: action all that stuff off of it. Uh, make throws,
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: we need to make the throws, but just keep the ball,
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: beat the clock running.
• 1:55
  Speaker 2: Uh.
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: And then defensively, we didn't you know that that first
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: group out there wasn't because super clean. There's obviously areas
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: and improve on especials third downs, but it's just it goes
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: to show that the defense needs to stay ready when
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: our offense is moving and grooving because they can hold
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: the ball for you know, a big click clip at
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: a time. Things at the base and the speakers. Oh man,
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: would you say.
• 2:15
  Speaker 2: This team overall, particular on defense has grown from your
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: one to year children, Mike and Double.
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: I think you know, because we have so many people
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: back and the staff is pretty much intact. It's, you know,
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: we're tackling. We're tackling the the details of everything instead
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: of that kind of the big picture of what are
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: we doing. That's been kind of a story of camp,
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: just you know, the footwork, the cadence, the details of everything,
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: as opposed to just throwing out an insult. Learning it
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: all from the jump, and so a lot of us
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: just be completely out of the base and now we're
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: chasing that, we're chasing the edge, We're chasing perfection as
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: much as you can't obtain it. That's kind of what
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: we're trying to make the standard on defense.
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: You guys talk about the standard to the first series.
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: Casey was converting on some of their death What did
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: you see that maybe wasn't up to your standard.
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: On that first year.
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: Just you know, just urgency and getting communicating with each
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: other for the most part. You know, when we were
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: you know, we were assignon sound. It's just the timing
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: of everything when you know motions and shifts are happening.
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: Luman's loud. We have to be on better timing and
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: just understanding how each other operates and also who we're
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: communicating with because you know, we change you know, every shift, motion, play, formation,
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: all that stuff, and so there's a lot to it.
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: So it's important to get those reps in front of
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: our crowd because that's you know, when we're rocking in there,
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: that's when we have to be at our best on defense.
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: The like nine first down, one hundred and fifty seven yards,
• 3:42
  Speaker 2: What does that tell you about your defensive depth and
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: the way those guys are playing.
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: I mean, that's what I was most excited about today.
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: Those guys were balling. I feel like there are very
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: little explosives the DBS. We were tackling well today the
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: d line, those those young boys up there are just
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: getting it across the board. Was just exciting to see.
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: And then you see the guys just making the name
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: of themselves across the team. You see some of those
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: young running backs, they come to mind, just running hard,
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: no matter you know, when their times called. Uh. Seeing
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: the meal ticket out there at mill Row getting active,
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: it's like it's excited to see, you know, not just
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: the depth of our defense, just the team. It's excited
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: to see the guys kind of get that first preseason
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: game up off them.
• 4:22
  Speaker 2: What's something that cut your eye tonight?
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: Something that caught my eye tonight Jake Bobo. I mean
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: we joked around with Bobo so much, but you know,
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: him catching that screen pass for the touchdown was exciting.
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: Obviously the fade ball was that's Bobo one on one.
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: But you see him back there catching puns. We saw
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: that that's from the sideline probably with the most nuts,
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: like what is he doing back there? Who must be
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: out of returners? And so I would say he said up,
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: But he's you know, he's a guy who's who's mature
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: and is it ready for any moment that it's called
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: for him defensively, I thought, isis Waxter did a great job.
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: I thought young Pepe. Uh, you guys know Pepe is
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: uh Mari's probably most first name. Marion Williams. Marian Williams.
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: He did a good job thirty seven on defense. Uh
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: so yeah, this name a few names. What defense? The
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: talks on offense?
• 5:18
  Speaker 2: What's he like in practice?
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: You know, that's funny they mentioned those two guys. Spoon
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: specifically talks a certain way to Bobo out there, and
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: Bobo is starting to get you know, a little chippy
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: back with him because Spoon he was very unfiltered. If
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: he catches you feeling a certain way, then he'll just
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: keep it going. And then so Bobo and him they
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: have some a lot of words to each other out
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: of love, of course, but those two practice, they have
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: a certain chip on their shoulder. And so I mean
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: Bobo Spoons the first one to dapt him up after
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: all of his plays, uh in the game today really
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: gets that the sack in the end zone. Yeah, the
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: whole sideline. Did you say about your team and the
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: close I think I'm a big healthy that's what we
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: called peely, the big healthy. Do play his passion, you know,
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: plays with fire every you know, it's in practice. If
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: you're out there, you hear him yelling, hear him getting
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: after it, and that's you know, it's exciting because especially
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: the defensive line room. You got some some some cagey
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: vets in that room, some guys who obviously accomplished a
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: lot in this league. And so to see young guys
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: kind of stepping up and playing with certain chip on
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: his shoulder, it's exciting, especially for that room. The Big
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: Healthy Yeah, uh, it just he's been available and and
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: and healthy. Uh and it just it just it sucked.
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: It started last year. It was a certain nickname. Last year,
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: I want to repeat that nickname, and so it changed
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: to the Big Healthy. I appreciate you guys,
