• 0:22
  Speaker 2: as well, especially you know, coming off the hor house
• 0:24
  Speaker 2: that we was on the defense last year. We're trying
• 0:26
  Speaker 2: to build off that. And the offense look looks really
• 0:29
  Speaker 2: good as well.
• 0:30
  Speaker 3: How hell is it? I mean here two now with
• 0:32
  Speaker 3: Mike uh at his defensive team, how did you do
• 0:34
  Speaker 3: you feel your guys are up a little bit?
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: Oh? Oh yeah, definitely getting more comfortable, you know it.
• 0:38
  Speaker 2: It's a it's a big playbook, so you know, definitely
• 0:41
  Speaker 2: being able to just play fast right now. I think
• 0:43
  Speaker 2: it's the main thing. And I think it's the thing
• 0:45
  Speaker 2: where everybody, especially the back end.
• 0:47
  Speaker 3: Did defense really came together at the second half of
• 0:49
  Speaker 3: the last season.
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: What do you feel like is the next step back.
• 0:52
  Speaker 2: You take to continue building off that, And that's what
• 0:54
  Speaker 2: we're doing right now.
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: That's what this time is for.
• 0:56
  Speaker 2: And then you know, we come back from training camp,
• 0:58
  Speaker 2: put the paths on and just you know, keep building
• 1:00
  Speaker 2: the standard for our defense tel by taking that.
• 1:03
  Speaker 3: Next step and the reflection where some aies, I feel
• 1:06
  Speaker 3: like this defense has the room to grow this year
• 1:08
  Speaker 3: from where you were.
• 1:09
  Speaker 2: At j just communication and be able to play faster
• 1:12
  Speaker 2: than what we was playing. You know when we came
• 1:14
  Speaker 2: in at first, it is a big playbook, so you know,
• 1:16
  Speaker 2: it's a lot to learn. And I think that now
• 1:19
  Speaker 2: and just banging off last year, growing what we already
• 1:22
  Speaker 2: know coming in and then redoing it's like you know,
• 1:25
  Speaker 2: reading the same book over and over again. And so
• 1:27
  Speaker 2: now we get to go out on the field and
• 1:29
  Speaker 2: just play fast, and I think that plays a huge
• 1:31
  Speaker 2: part into into being successful, into executing our plays.
• 1:36
  Speaker 3: You're right from the thirtieth the fourteenth vin yards to
• 1:38
  Speaker 3: love per game in just one season. I mean, is
• 1:39
  Speaker 3: there a goal for this team top ten, top.
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: Five this year?
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: Ah man s My personal goal, my my opinion which
• 1:45
  Speaker 2: I think that everybody you know will back me on this,
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: is that we wanna be number one. You know, we
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: wanna be number one in every category. That's what we're
• 1:52
  Speaker 2: striving for. I mean we're hungry, you know, every game
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: I'm be may May not be perfect, but you know.
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: That's what we're striving for. That's what we're working hard
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: to get to. What toil that Like Tang the fort year,
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: he kind of one that's my dog man.
• 2:04
  Speaker 2: I think he brings you know, the physicality, just the
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: mentality that we want and the players when he brings
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: that in man, he's a great player, as you got
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: seen seeing what he did in Dallas. Uh we need
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: that here. You know, we gonna use him and he's
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: gonna be a great addition for us.
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: Jared, why is it important for you to be here?
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: That's part of those kids, Oh, just to build a chemistry,
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: you know, and for one just to be around the teammates.
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: I like being here.
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: I mean it's actually fun.
• 2:26
  Speaker 2: You know, when you're away and you're watching film, you're
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: just missing a lot and missing that camaraderie, that togetherness,
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: you know, building that that connection with your teammates.
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: That's the time that uh we use for right now.
• 2:37
  Speaker 3: What have you noticed about your head coach and the
• 2:39
  Speaker 3: defensive staff this year.
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: For the last I think they're they're not laxed, they're
• 2:44
  Speaker 2: more intentional.
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: Well what they expect from us.
• 2:47
  Speaker 2: I think everybody kind of you know, just deflated the
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: balloon a little bit, cause last year, I think, you know,
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: we we we weren't holding our breath.
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: But you know, nobody knew what to expect.
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: It was a new staff, you know, and for us,
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: we were new players and for us to them it
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: it was new coaching staff. So everybody had to learn
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: each other, you know, learn our lights, what we like,
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: you know, how we play. And I think it's the
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: main thing. It seems like everybody now is just just
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: messing and jelling together, and I'm really excited to see
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: how this season goes.
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: What what did you feel?
• 3:14
  Speaker 3: What's the biggest difference in kind of how much better
• 3:16
  Speaker 3: you guys got, Uh, defensively at the end of last.
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: Year, I think, you know, we came together more.
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: I think, uh, at the time we came in, everybody
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: was just trying to learn what to do. So everybody
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: was kind of out there doing their job. So now
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: we can go there and do our job, but we can.
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: Do it together.
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: You kind of get what I'm saying, Like just as
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: far as like just knowing the plays, we can know
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: where this person's supposed to be or expect what this
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: person gonna do, and we could just trust it and
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: play with it and go with it.
• 3:40
  Speaker 3: Earn Us coming in seem to be a pitty pretty
• 3:42
  Speaker 3: big part of that too.
