  Speaker 2: This?
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: Can you hear me? Fun? Yes, sir?
• 0:14
  Speaker 3: Yeah, no, check, he wasn't one point.
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: Okay, we're doing.
• 0:24
  Speaker 3: What's the most fun of what's the most fun part
• 0:26
  Speaker 3: of being your three of Mike McDonald's defense side the
• 0:30
  Speaker 3: most fun.
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: I don't know. I think we we learned a little
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: bit more about Mike. I don't each day.
• 0:36
  Speaker 2: I think he levels up each year, and it's just
• 0:40
  Speaker 2: cool to see kind of how he's gonna present himself,
• 0:42
  Speaker 2: you know, for the start of the new season. And
• 0:43
  Speaker 2: so it's been fun. These first few days have been
• 0:45
  Speaker 2: I don't know. We're just the gang's back together. We're
• 0:48
  Speaker 2: we're having a blast out here.
• 0:49
  Speaker 4: You are place ache for a long time out and
• 0:53
  Speaker 4: you've got offense and opening tight ends out there were
• 0:56
  Speaker 4: running news Leader offenses and you've got you guys running
• 0:59
  Speaker 4: a lot of he.
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: Went to the back, but get answer to run.
• 1:02
  Speaker 4: How does that changed your prem from a shafety perspective, personnel.
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: Line, Yeah, it's it's unusual.
• 1:08
  Speaker 2: I think for me, Uh, being versatile is important, you know,
• 1:13
  Speaker 2: being able to play in the slot, line down, you know,
• 1:15
  Speaker 2: play deep in the post. Whatever it is, has allowed
• 1:18
  Speaker 2: my skill set to adapt to a different scheme, and
• 1:21
  Speaker 2: it's able to you know, whether they're in thirteen personnel,
• 1:23
  Speaker 2: whether in the eleven personnel, I can match up accordingly.
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: And that's the think that's Mike emphasizes that.
• 1:28
  Speaker 2: I think everybody you see in the defensive backfield h
• 1:32
  Speaker 2: is versatile and that is kind of has been our superpower.
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: We have guys that can do some things that the average.
• 1:38
  Speaker 2: That we can't do. You know, Eman Worry is a
• 1:40
  Speaker 2: big part of that. Spoon's a big part of that.
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: Tylecott is a big part of that. And so it's
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: cool to have that not just with me, but the
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: rest of the room. What new am I learning? He's
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: good man. He he had a good talk today. His
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: team meeting was on was on point today talking about
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: kind of the early Bulls teams, you know, kind of
• 1:59
  Speaker 2: the ninety one team, how they kind of got over
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: the hump, the idea of Jordan, you know, being the
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: scoring champ for years before that, but still not getting
• 2:08
  Speaker 2: over that hump of the pistons, uh and him being
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: selfless enough to take it back, dial it back a
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: little bit and understand that we get the job done.
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: And I think when you started to play team ball
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: like that. Phil Jackson incorporated that that's when you see
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: the good stuff happening. So basically the message is his
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: message is that the new thing that a little nugget
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: he gave to us was man that twelve is one
• 2:27
  Speaker 2: is real. The more we dive into and invest into
• 2:31
  Speaker 2: each other, the more you know that we'll receive out
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: of this whole deal. And so it was a cool
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: little nugget. I liked his team any today, is.
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: There some like speech like that every day in training camp?
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: Like wisdom?
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, pretty much. More or less what Mike does
• 2:45
  Speaker 2: that's cool is somebody else speaks to each day, Like
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: you'll hear assistant coach that I might not know, might
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: be new to the team, I have not heard from before,
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: the team hasn't heard from before, like CP Partridge talked
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: yesterday or spoke yesterday. It was cool and so we
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: do that. That's a big thing at camp. Everyone has
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: kind of a theme, a message, brings their own flavor
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: and style to it, and so by the end of
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: camp you hear from everyone in the building. You know
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: who each other is, you know who's who's going to
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: bat for you, and so it's pretty cool.
• 3:14
  Speaker 3: We were talking to d Anthony bell today a lunch
• 3:16
  Speaker 3: kind of about the weird thing that happened with him.
• 3:18
  Speaker 3: Obviously got kind he couldn't be with you guys for
• 3:20
  Speaker 3: the postseason and then now he's back obviously playing a
• 3:22
  Speaker 3: big role, and just what do you kind of remember
• 3:25
  Speaker 3: of d Anthony and kind of going through that.
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: And what you guys signed it. Yeah, D bell Man,
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: he is We we love dbell Man.
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: He he's real, he's raw, he's authentic who he is.
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: He's a true pro. They asked him to do a lot.
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: I mean you think that somebody like me or somebody
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: else is doing a lot of things. He is doing everything.
• 3:42
  Speaker 2: He has to know every position. He's smart enough to
• 3:44
  Speaker 2: do that. He's a dog enough to do that. He's
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: a player maker enough to be on the fields for us.
• 3:47
  Speaker 2: And honestly, a lot of us were kind of hurt
• 3:50
  Speaker 2: and kind of we're pretty bummed that he wasn't with
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: us kind of down the stretch there, and it was
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: very real, it was talked about, and so it was
• 3:59
  Speaker 2: cool that he still got a ring. He's cool that
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: he's still really a part of this thing, and we're
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: really happy to bring him back. Because yeah, he was
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: with us for the entire journey last year, and it
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: just it was really unfortunate. It was one of the
• 4:10
  Speaker 2: down parts of the playoff run that he wasn't with us.
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: And it's the safety he's in my room that so
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: we felt the impact he said.
• 4:17
  Speaker 3: He said he called some of you guys right after
• 4:18
  Speaker 3: the game in the locker room. Were you one of
• 4:20
  Speaker 3: those guys?
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: Do you remember that or yeah with the Panthers game
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: we're talking about, oh, super Bowl? Yeah, he sent us,
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: he shot a text. I don't know.
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: It just he was with us for most of the
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: journey then you know the fun parts. It felt like
• 4:32
  Speaker 2: down the stretch he wasn't there for but he was
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: with us.
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: Inspiracy and like first day of spring having him back.
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: You know, I know he has his baby. He had
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: his baby. It is we We really love you, Bell
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: and we brings a lot to table. What do you
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: think he's gonna show. It looks like he'll get a
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: chance to, you know, fill in for Dick. What do
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: you think he's gonna show?
• 4:49
  Speaker 2: He given an opportunity, is gonna you guys are gonna
• 4:52
  Speaker 2: learn that he's a playmaker. He was a playmaker in
• 4:55
  Speaker 2: Cleveland every practices last year since he's been out here.
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: He makes plays.
• 4:59
  Speaker 2: I I don't know how to phrase it, because he
• 5:02
  Speaker 2: has a naturally being on the ball, but it's punching
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: it out, whether it's picking the ball off, you'll see
• 5:06
  Speaker 2: that he's just some people have it and he has
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: that gene that trait.
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: Want to be back from the same way there.
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: This year?
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: What do you kind of make up what the guys
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: going to build upon? Knowing ninety six percent of the
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: team's back last year? What more can yeah? Good question. Yeah.
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: I mean it's a lot of us back.
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: The thirty the team's new, you know, seventy is back.
• 5:34
  Speaker 2: I think the idea is like kind of the mob stuff,
• 5:37
  Speaker 2: kind of the ideas of those pillars we had last year.
• 5:40
  Speaker 2: It's like, Okay, do we want to create new ones?
• 5:42
  Speaker 2: Do we want to have that same kind of umbrella,
• 5:44
  Speaker 2: but really think about differently about what makes it up
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: who we are in this current day. And so to
• 5:50
  Speaker 2: make sure that I think the leadership is like, okay,
• 5:52
  Speaker 2: how I think we want to shape this thing and
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: learn and start from ground, you know, from from ground level,
• 5:58
  Speaker 2: and incorporate everybody along it.
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: It stinks to be.
• 6:01
  Speaker 2: An outsider when you feel like everyone else is a
• 6:04
  Speaker 2: friend group and a click and we are doing everything.
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: To avoid that. We're building it all, this whole unit.
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: Everyone's gonna be incorporated into how we build things, and
• 6:13
  Speaker 2: it's it's a conscious choice. It could be real easy
• 6:15
  Speaker 2: to be like, let's keep on going what we did
• 6:17
  Speaker 2: last year, the same theme, same whatever, but we are
• 6:20
  Speaker 2: we're dialed into building it up how we want to
• 6:22
  Speaker 2: build up for this.
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: Year, earlier.
• 6:26
  Speaker 3: Yeast the good years.
• 6:35
  Speaker 2: So that's probably the biggest example of Mike actually gave
• 6:37
  Speaker 2: that example today in timm And I don't know if
• 6:38
  Speaker 2: you're in there and you're just softballing yourself a shout
• 6:43
  Speaker 2: out here. No, the idea is like, Okay, Leonard Williams,
• 6:48
  Speaker 2: that's the tackling the game. Yeah, what he does you have?
• 6:52
  Speaker 2: And he could easily be like, give me all the
• 6:54
  Speaker 2: one on ones. I can get a certain amount of sacks.
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: But he doesn't.
• 6:58
  Speaker 2: I see, I'm a friend of Leo. That's not how
• 7:01
  Speaker 2: he operates. He he would hate that, And that's kind of
• 7:03
  Speaker 2: the idea. Jacks could easily be like, tell me about
• 7:05
  Speaker 2: every time I'm the best receiver in the league.
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: He doesn't though he hates that.
• 7:09
  Speaker 2: He wants everyone else to have love and shine and
• 7:12
  Speaker 2: for our stars to kind of think that way. It
• 7:16
  Speaker 2: shapes for how everybody else has built our own. No,
• 7:19
  Speaker 2: you know, for the D line it is specifically you asked.
• 7:22
  Speaker 2: You know, you have Barn Murphy, who is the best
• 7:23
  Speaker 2: double team player in the league probably in the past
• 7:26
  Speaker 2: bunch of years in the league. You have Jared Reed,
• 7:28
  Speaker 2: probably the best tackler in the league at that position.
• 7:31
  Speaker 2: You have that whole front bring something special, and they
• 7:34
  Speaker 2: can all easily be like, let me get my double
• 7:37
  Speaker 2: digit sacked, let me get my pay day, let me
• 7:39
  Speaker 2: do my you know, my thing. But they don't they
• 7:41
  Speaker 2: understand that if we rush as one, that's how we
• 7:43
  Speaker 2: were affected last year.
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: We're all gonna get our things.
• 7:45
  Speaker 2: We're gonna get ours for sure, but we're gonna do
• 7:48
  Speaker 2: under the umbrella of twelve is one.
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: We're gonna do it together. Rush is one.
• 7:52
  Speaker 2: What have you learned about But Clark Man, he's a
• 7:57
  Speaker 2: he's a country boy.
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: Uh, he brings some energy. He says something today I
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: don't even know.
• 8:02
  Speaker 2: I think he said it in the dB room and
• 8:04
  Speaker 2: we all were like kind of not and then but
• 8:06
  Speaker 2: no one understood what it meant, and case guy I
• 8:09
  Speaker 2: was like.
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: But can you repeat that? And he said, what did
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: he say? Uh? He said, uh, something.
• 8:16
  Speaker 2: About private fishing area, like in the common phrase as
• 8:20
  Speaker 2: he was talking, and we're like, what does that mean.
• 8:22
  Speaker 2: He's just basically like what we do, like it's off limits,
• 8:25
  Speaker 2: like what we do it stays in.
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: It was, it was. It was an anecdote of some sort.
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: I was like, Okay, man, I don't know what's going
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: on here.
• 8:31
  Speaker 2: And so he has the energy everybody you kind of
• 8:33
  Speaker 2: know that throughout the Combine draft process. He has swagger
• 8:37
  Speaker 2: to him, and it's cool. It's gonna be really cool
• 8:39
  Speaker 2: to see how he comes alive on the field for us.
• 8:42
  Speaker 2: Uh this training camp, I'm really excited to see him spend.
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: Anybody else come on, all right, we're all good. Appreciate
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: you
