• 0:26
  Speaker 3: is great.
• 0:27
  Speaker 5: Dude's the coach right your startle for two days.
• 0:30
  Speaker 3: And I think, you know, today we practice a little
• 0:34
  Speaker 3: bit more physical on our side. I thought we were
• 0:37
  Speaker 3: communicating well flying around. But to me, it's it's always
• 0:42
  Speaker 3: about the play style, you know, how you're playing on deepense.
• 0:44
  Speaker 5: I think we're trendling the right way that way. So,
• 0:46
  Speaker 5: but a lot of work to do.
• 0:47
  Speaker 3: But to answer your question, what I do like is
• 0:52
  Speaker 3: I like the physicality today.
• 0:54
  Speaker 5: Uh. And we're starting to get a good culture in
• 0:56
  Speaker 5: our room.
• 0:56
  Speaker 6: You know we're going to be without Buster for the
• 0:58
  Speaker 6: rest of the camp. H. I know a lot of
• 1:00
  Speaker 6: guys are going to have an opportunity to kind of
• 1:02
  Speaker 6: step up, but with Jari and specifically, what have you
• 1:04
  Speaker 6: seen from him over the last few days.
• 1:05
  Speaker 3: He's a great competitor. He really works hard to play
• 1:09
  Speaker 3: with technique. You know, I think he did a great
• 1:13
  Speaker 3: job in his spring and then he really worked. He's
• 1:15
  Speaker 3: one of the guys really worked hard in the summer.
• 1:18
  Speaker 3: You know, was with a lot of the guys on
• 1:19
  Speaker 3: the team working technique, studying. So he came back, you know,
• 1:23
  Speaker 3: in the camp really ready to go, and I see
• 1:26
  Speaker 3: a lot of the drill work he's doing every day
• 1:28
  Speaker 3: is showing up now, you know, the muscle memory is
• 1:30
  Speaker 3: starting to set in and he's really playing with good
• 1:32
  Speaker 3: techniques start to show up and all the one on
• 1:34
  Speaker 3: one work and the team.
• 1:36
  Speaker 6: Periods he had to play yesterday where he punches out
• 1:38
  Speaker 6: in the ball on beami and then you run across
• 1:40
  Speaker 6: the field to kind of give him this poutos. Just
• 1:42
  Speaker 6: what is that relationship like seeing a guy that, like
• 1:44
  Speaker 6: you said, you do the indie druid and then he
• 1:47
  Speaker 6: shows up later.
• 1:47
  Speaker 5: And yeah, I think, you know, I love coaching that guy.
• 1:51
  Speaker 3: We got a great group of guys here, Like they're
• 1:55
  Speaker 3: easy guys to coach, and they're giving us everything we're
• 1:57
  Speaker 3: talking about. They're running to the ball, they're attacking the ball.
• 2:00
  Speaker 3: So I think those things always should be celebrated. And
• 2:02
  Speaker 3: I think that says a lot about the type of
• 2:04
  Speaker 3: kid he is and the.
• 2:05
  Speaker 5: Way that he plays.
• 2:06
  Speaker 3: You know, he's going to give you everything he's got
• 2:08
  Speaker 3: till the end of the play. So I think that
• 2:09
  Speaker 3: was awesome that he was rewarded on that drive your mee.
• 2:12
  Speaker 7: A camp second day of pads.
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: Do you feel the defense is more for brassed ahead
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: of schedule?
• 2:18
  Speaker 5: No, I think we're right about where we thought we'd be.
• 2:21
  Speaker 3: Got a lot of work to do, but the guys
• 2:24
  Speaker 3: are really putting in a lot of great work. Like
• 2:26
  Speaker 3: in the meetings, they're locked in. You know, when you're
• 2:29
  Speaker 3: up front of the room looking at them, everybody's locked in.
• 2:31
  Speaker 3: Everybody's really detailed. They're trying to do it out here
• 2:35
  Speaker 3: on the field obviously when we go in live work,
• 2:37
  Speaker 3: but even in the walkthroughs, you know they're really doing
• 2:39
  Speaker 3: a good job communicating and playing with good technique and
• 2:41
  Speaker 3: to walk through a good body position. So to me,
• 2:44
  Speaker 3: that's that's really what we're looking for, and they're giving
• 2:46
  Speaker 3: us that.
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: Any reservations or worries, and it's still early in camp.
• 2:50
  Speaker 2: You don't have to be specific.
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: But early in camp, he said, any reservations or any
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: you know, worries at all, You don't have to be specific.
• 2:56
  Speaker 5: Album, No, No, I just think we got to keep
• 2:58
  Speaker 5: doing what we're doing.
• 2:59
  Speaker 3: We got to keep playing with a lot of passion
• 3:02
  Speaker 3: and a lot of great communication every day. As long
• 3:05
  Speaker 3: as we do that, I think we're going to be
• 3:07
  Speaker 3: on course for where we'd like to be. I mean,
• 3:12
  Speaker 3: there's a lot to like. You know, he's a big athlete,
• 3:15
  Speaker 3: covers a lot of ground, he's got good range, and
• 3:19
  Speaker 3: he's physical. You know, he's done a really good job studying.
• 3:22
  Speaker 3: He's become a very good communicator for us. So I'm
• 3:26
  Speaker 3: pleased with his effort and how it was camp's gotten
• 3:29
  Speaker 3: so far.
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: Jack with the would be sacked today, give us kind
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: of an idea where he's progressed that linebacker group, in
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: particular in the middle, where you kind of see that's
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: shaking out right now.
• 3:38
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I think he's doing a really good job. He's
• 3:40
  Speaker 5: a mature guy.
• 3:41
  Speaker 3: I think he was really well coached in college, to
• 3:43
  Speaker 3: be honest with you, but he's got a very good
• 3:46
  Speaker 3: football intelligence, and he asked great questions in the room
• 3:49
  Speaker 3: as well. But he's been a good communicator and he's
• 3:54
  Speaker 3: a hungry guy, so I think that usually leads to
• 3:57
  Speaker 3: a guy who's going to progress along quickly. And we're very,
• 4:02
  Speaker 3: very excited about him too. I think he's done a
• 4:03
  Speaker 3: good job in camps.
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: So for how much of kind of guy, like Eric
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: arm said, helped players like Josh hens Is Trey momarco
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: on the outside with Eric pushing on the inside.
• 4:11
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I think when you're talking about pass rush, I
• 4:15
  Speaker 3: think maybe the forgotten thing or the least talked about thing.
• 4:19
  Speaker 3: You know, all pass rushes middle push, you know, and
• 4:21
  Speaker 3: you really have to have a guy that can close
• 4:23
  Speaker 3: the pocket and generate middle push get the quarterback off
• 4:26
  Speaker 3: the spot. And a lot of those great inside rushers
• 4:29
  Speaker 3: kind of master in that. You know, they can execute
• 4:31
  Speaker 3: the games well, but when they're in a one on one,
• 4:33
  Speaker 3: they can collapse the pocket. And Eric's done that over
• 4:35
  Speaker 3: his career, so that's always a big help for edge rushers.
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: I'm not he hasn't really necessarily been getting up there
• 4:40
  Speaker 2: on Team droz Us as much as the other players.
• 4:42
  Speaker 2: Is he a guy that he doesn't really necessarily have
• 4:44
  Speaker 2: to do something like that for you to understand what
• 4:46
  Speaker 2: kind of player he is.
• 4:47
  Speaker 3: I think everybody, you know, we all we all need
• 4:49
  Speaker 3: to work out there playing, but as soon as he
• 4:52
  Speaker 3: gets out there, you know it's going to be.
• 4:54
  Speaker 5: A big help to us. So we're excited about getting
• 4:56
  Speaker 5: Eric back out there for sure.
• 4:57
  Speaker 2: Do you anticipate him getting more REPSS training camp move
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: or is it?
• 5:01
  Speaker 5: Or is it? Yeah? I would think so. Yeah.
• 5:03
  Speaker 8: It seemed like Sunday was the most Travis ive kind
• 5:05
  Speaker 8: of been tested in coverage. What did it say to
• 5:06
  Speaker 8: you to see just the way he responded and getting
• 5:08
  Speaker 8: his hands on football.
• 5:10
  Speaker 3: I mean, as we all know, he's a great athlete,
• 5:12
  Speaker 3: but you see him doing the extra workout here with
• 5:15
  Speaker 3: coach Milis and coach Perkins. So he's really taking advantage
• 5:19
  Speaker 3: of the meeting time and the on field time with
• 5:21
  Speaker 3: those guys, like.
• 5:22
  Speaker 5: I call him the feet meets or the walkthroughs.
• 5:25
  Speaker 3: He's really doing a great job focusing and then you
• 5:28
  Speaker 3: see his athleticism even make plays on the ball in
• 5:30
  Speaker 3: the air. So that gets everybody excited, but really pleads
• 5:33
  Speaker 3: with Travis at the effort he's given obviously doing doing
• 5:36
  Speaker 3: this on both sides of the ball.
• 5:37
  Speaker 8: Grant said, he's like the most conditioned player he's ever seen.
• 5:40
  Speaker 8: Have you seen many guys with the energy that he has?
• 5:42
  Speaker 3: Yeah, he has. He is an incredible shape. He really
• 5:46
  Speaker 3: is a really welcome, decent athlete, you know, and I
• 5:49
  Speaker 3: can admire that because I'm struggling out here today.
• 5:52
  Speaker 5: But but no, he's uh it is. It's super impressive, though. Man,
• 5:56
  Speaker 5: he can go all day.
• 5:57
  Speaker 6: Yeah, I know, Liam said the plan won't change for
• 5:59
  Speaker 6: him necessarily with the buster news, but just how encouraging
• 6:02
  Speaker 6: it is it for you to know you have a
• 6:04
  Speaker 6: guy like that who you can kind of deploy when needing.
• 6:07
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean that's super encouraging.
• 6:09
  Speaker 3: Obviously, anytime you can get a great athlete like there
• 6:12
  Speaker 3: like that out there, you're really really excited. But it's
• 6:15
  Speaker 3: really just the work he's done. That's what really gets
• 6:17
  Speaker 3: us excited, because he's working double time and he's done
• 6:21
  Speaker 3: an awesome job of it.
• 6:22
  Speaker 6: What have you seen on that safety position opposite of
• 6:25
  Speaker 6: Beric Murray? Today's practice is pretty competitive, But.
• 6:27
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I just think there's a lot of guys who
• 6:29
  Speaker 3: are putting in great work. I think doing's doing a
• 6:31
  Speaker 3: great job. I think Antonio is doing a great job.
• 6:34
  Speaker 3: Sav's done a great job when he's out there. You know,
• 6:37
  Speaker 3: obviously Eric has great command back there as well. But
• 6:40
  Speaker 3: we've had a bunch of guys going through there and
• 6:42
  Speaker 3: they're all really doing.
• 6:43
  Speaker 5: A good job.
• 6:44
  Speaker 3: And as you start to get into third down and
• 6:46
  Speaker 3: two minute, you know, having dbs out there that are
• 6:50
  Speaker 3: good communicators and can make plays on the ball for you,
• 6:52
  Speaker 3: which we've all seen to this point, that's really exciting.
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: As far as Caleb france Agos, what.
• 6:56
  Speaker 7: Have you seen for him?
• 6:58
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, Caleb's another guy. I think he's got
• 7:00
  Speaker 3: great feet. I've said that before. He is a guy
• 7:03
  Speaker 3: who's been studying really really hard. I think he did
• 7:05
  Speaker 3: a good job in the summer to be able to
• 7:07
  Speaker 3: come in and hit the ground running.
• 7:09
  Speaker 5: And he's another.
• 7:10
  Speaker 3: Guy I talked about Jack before, but I think he's
• 7:12
  Speaker 3: got really good maturity. And I think I said this
• 7:14
  Speaker 3: the last time I was up here when we were
• 7:16
  Speaker 3: talking about him.
• 7:17
  Speaker 5: He was well coached in college.
• 7:18
  Speaker 3: He was He's got really good fundamentals and he's another
• 7:21
  Speaker 3: guy who's got range and can make players on the mall.
• 7:24
  Speaker 5: So that's been exciting watching him as well.
• 7:26
  Speaker 6: If you've been through this, so he apologized with deep
• 7:29
  Speaker 6: and the interior defensive line with Mason Smith out and
• 7:32
  Speaker 6: also your thoughts on Eric Armstead.
• 7:34
  Speaker 5: Is he going to begin to get more reps as.
• 7:36
  Speaker 7: You move forward?
• 7:37
  Speaker 5: Yeah?
• 7:38
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean yeah, I mean I think the guys
• 7:40
  Speaker 3: that have been in there have been doing a good job,
• 7:43
  Speaker 3: you know, And the silver lining is those guys get.
• 7:46
  Speaker 5: A lot more work in camp, you know, and it
• 7:47
  Speaker 5: helps him get better.
• 7:48
  Speaker 3: But you know, when we get Mason out there and
• 7:51
  Speaker 3: Eric back out there, I think that's gonna be a
• 7:53
  Speaker 3: really big shot in the arm for us.
• 7:55
  Speaker 5: The heck.
• 7:56
  Speaker 4: I was like, wow, what a blessing to be out here,
• 7:58
  Speaker 4: Like I'm having so much fun. Obviously it's grinding, it
• 8:00
  Speaker 4: sucks and it hurts, but like where else would I
• 8:02
  Speaker 4: rather be? You know, cliche? That is getting better playing football?
• 8:05
  Speaker 4: I got a chance this year to write my wrongs
• 8:07
  Speaker 4: from last year. And you know, in terms of if
• 8:09
  Speaker 4: you want to call this works, what other job would
• 8:11
  Speaker 4: ID rather be doing out here? Trying to get better
• 8:12
  Speaker 4: every day?
• 8:13
  Speaker 5: Cliche?
• 8:13
  Speaker 4: But I really that's really went through my mind. And
• 8:16
  Speaker 4: you know, not got me through practical, but help me
• 8:17
  Speaker 4: keep getting better at practice.
• 8:19
  Speaker 2: How much has your mindset maybe switch or changed a
• 8:21
  Speaker 2: little bit from just from the last few years, you know,
• 8:24
  Speaker 2: being here.
• 8:25
  Speaker 7: I mean when I first got here, everything was exciting,
• 8:26
  Speaker 7: it was new.
• 8:27
  Speaker 4: We had the same opportunity as kind of this year
• 8:29
  Speaker 4: coming in proving people wrong and stuff.
• 8:32
  Speaker 7: I feel like we got some of that chip back.
• 8:34
  Speaker 4: We got new staff, we got some new players, but
• 8:36
  Speaker 4: you know same, let's let's let's show the people who
• 8:39
  Speaker 4: we who we want to be, who we are as Jaguars,
• 8:41
  Speaker 4: as this team. You know, take the name out in
• 8:43
  Speaker 4: front of the jersey. Everybody in the building I rock with,
• 8:46
  Speaker 4: so you know, us eleven on defense, all fighting together,
• 8:49
  Speaker 4: whatever name we got on on.
• 8:50
  Speaker 7: I like what we're doing out there, communicating this one.
• 8:53
  Speaker 5: Did you think that.
• 8:53
  Speaker 2: That's something that was needed for this team to have
• 8:55
  Speaker 2: that chick back.
• 8:57
  Speaker 7: Like you said, Yeah, for sure. I mean, obviously last
• 9:01
  Speaker 7: year did not go great.
• 9:03
  Speaker 4: It's easy to get down on yourself kind of get
• 9:05
  Speaker 4: through that's a that's a toxic, toxic mindset of football there,
• 9:09
  Speaker 4: and we got through the season abysmally. So come back
• 9:12
  Speaker 4: this season, let's try to right our wrongs and let's
• 9:14
  Speaker 4: get out on the right foot.
• 9:16
  Speaker 8: What's it been like kind of seeing Finntreil's growth over
• 9:18
  Speaker 8: the years and just seeing where he's at now.
• 9:19
  Speaker 4: It's exciting because he's a He's an explosive player, hard hitter,
• 9:24
  Speaker 4: a great energy guy. So if he's confident in what
• 9:26
  Speaker 4: he's doing out there, you know, now you can just
• 9:28
  Speaker 4: play football and make those kind of splash plays that
• 9:30
  Speaker 4: he always makes. It's really cool to see him fit runs,
• 9:32
  Speaker 4: get back and coverage, make the right communications what I
• 9:34
  Speaker 4: love the most, but just grow as a football player,
• 9:36
  Speaker 4: if into a real pro, taking care of his body,
• 9:39
  Speaker 4: speaking to me like you know, a veteran more.
• 9:42
  Speaker 7: It's really really exciting.
• 9:43
  Speaker 6: How has it been being coached by Camp? It seems
• 9:45
  Speaker 6: like he's kind of interjected guy.
• 9:48
  Speaker 4: Very energetic, and he'll pick you right up talking about that,
• 9:50
  Speaker 4: don't get down on yourself. Like this early in the morning,
• 9:52
  Speaker 4: already hot and he's already talking about we need to
• 9:55
  Speaker 4: do better than yesterday. So you don't want to let
• 9:58
  Speaker 4: him down because you know you're gonna call you out
• 9:59
  Speaker 4: on it.
• 10:00
  Speaker 7: I like that mentality.
• 10:01
  Speaker 4: I think the defense for a team kind of takes
• 10:03
  Speaker 4: a little bit of the personality of a coach, and
• 10:05
  Speaker 4: I've said that many times.
• 10:06
  Speaker 7: I like the personality brings the building.
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: So you would say, Colorado training that you and Chad
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: and do we did together, is it coming into effect
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: here today?
• 10:16
  Speaker 7: Though?
• 10:16
  Speaker 4: I mean I got the lung capacity, though I ain't
• 10:19
  Speaker 4: got to bring out my emergency and halo.
• 10:22
  Speaker 7: Nah, I'm joking with you, But that's cool.
• 10:24
  Speaker 4: And it was cool to get with some teammates out
• 10:26
  Speaker 4: there too, kind of push ourselves out there. Even Chad
• 10:29
  Speaker 4: with his little club he got on right now. He
• 10:32
  Speaker 4: was still working every day, so it was cool to
• 10:34
  Speaker 4: kind of push each other along and wake up early
• 10:36
  Speaker 4: in the morning to get grinding. Colorado doesn't get like, however,
• 10:39
  Speaker 4: five hundred degrees out in the afternoon, so we're still
• 10:41
  Speaker 4: working afternoons whatever we need to do.
• 10:43
  Speaker 5: So it's cool.
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: Sorry, you safe to say, do you feel like you're
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: in your natural position? Do you feel like you're back
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: to where you are?
• 10:49
  Speaker 4: I'm a football player, man, whatever the coach need, no,
• 10:51
  Speaker 4: but I like what I'm doing right now. It's all
• 10:54
  Speaker 4: about being in the right spot, trusting the defense, trusting
• 10:57
  Speaker 4: my guys around me.
• 10:58
  Speaker 7: I feel good where I'm at.
• 10:59
  Speaker 4: I can keep cleaning stuff up and get better, break
• 11:02
  Speaker 4: on the ball better and stuff.
• 11:03
  Speaker 7: But I like run that he.
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: Brought up central communication. Over the last few years. I'm
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: sure you know you would. You would give an anecdote
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: as far as when you're on the field during a
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: game and maybe you had to communicate extra or maybe
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: there was miscommunication.
• 11:17
  Speaker 7: As it felt differently this year.
• 11:19
  Speaker 4: I think one is from everybody knowing what everybody's supposed
• 11:21
  Speaker 4: to do, and that's echoed across the whole defense. So
• 11:26
  Speaker 4: sometimes a saint through coming to me and said, you know,
• 11:29
  Speaker 4: this guy, I might not I thought he went out,
• 11:31
  Speaker 4: but he ended.
• 11:31
  Speaker 5: Up going vertical.
• 11:32
  Speaker 4: So you're supposed to have this on this play, you know,
• 11:34
  Speaker 4: maybe a lot or two years ago, I think he
• 11:36
  Speaker 4: might not know that, you know what one I'm supposed
• 11:37
  Speaker 4: to do on the whole back side of a play.
• 11:38
  Speaker 7: So it's it's cool to.
• 11:39
  Speaker 4: Be able to communicate all across the whole eleven or
• 11:41
  Speaker 4: a little stunt, you know, he turned out, you're supposed
• 11:45
  Speaker 4: to get underneath that block, you know, And now I
• 11:47
  Speaker 4: know exactly what everybody's supposed to do, and it helps
• 11:49
  Speaker 4: you be in the right spot because I can trust
• 11:50
  Speaker 4: that he knows he's going to be on the right
• 11:52
  Speaker 4: spot too, And so much of that I know we've.
• 11:54
  Speaker 7: Talked about this, so much of it is about the.
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: Wine across the board?
• 11:57
  Speaker 2: Is that the theme?
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: Would you say in.
• 11:59
  Speaker 4: Terms of I think relatively keeping things in pattern, So
• 12:04
  Speaker 4: no matter the route, combination, matter of the coverage call,
• 12:06
  Speaker 4: kind of being able to relate it to this call
• 12:07
  Speaker 4: to that call, keeping things in pattern keeps things simpler
• 12:10
  Speaker 4: in the mind, if that makes sense. So you talk
• 12:13
  Speaker 4: about smart players, probably players that have been doing the
• 12:15
  Speaker 4: same pattern a long time.
• 12:16
  Speaker 7: They can know what to anticipate.
• 12:17
  Speaker 4: So I think everybody being able to communicate makes everybody
• 12:20
  Speaker 4: play a little bit bester.
• 12:21
  Speaker 8: We have have said like this, having an open communication
• 12:24
  Speaker 8: and being honest is big for him as a player.
• 12:26
  Speaker 7: Just how does that impact you, guys?
• 12:27
  Speaker 8: Why does that make a difference?
• 12:28
  Speaker 5: Sceace.
• 12:28
  Speaker 7: I like it because I mean, now, everybody grew up
• 12:30
  Speaker 7: the same way. You know, I was raised very tough.
• 12:33
  Speaker 4: You did something wrong, you gonna hear about it right
• 12:35
  Speaker 4: then and there, you gotta correct it, no if sands
• 12:36
  Speaker 4: or but some people might have install long and they've
• 12:40
  Speaker 4: been talented and whatever, so they might have gotten away
• 12:42
  Speaker 4: with it. So being able to be challenged right then
• 12:44
  Speaker 4: and there and knowing that it's not a personal attack
• 12:47
  Speaker 4: helps you grow as a person as well, and not
• 12:48
  Speaker 4: saying I'm the best person in the world, but it
• 12:50
  Speaker 4: helps you be able to communicate the same language no
• 12:53
  Speaker 4: matter the tone you're hearing the words.
• 12:54
  Speaker 7: Instead.
• 12:56
  Speaker 8: Last year was attack.
• 12:57
  Speaker 6: The year before that I think was think takeaways as
• 12:59
  Speaker 6: are already a thing for the defense.
• 13:01
  Speaker 7: This year stop the run. We got a lot of things.
• 13:04
  Speaker 4: Man, we stopped the run first, limit lem me big players,
• 13:07
  Speaker 4: and then create takeaways. But it all starts with stopping
• 13:09
  Speaker 4: the run. Meaning the quarterback throw the ball. That's when
• 13:11
  Speaker 4: a lot of takeaways happen. Quarterback turns the ball over
• 13:15
  Speaker 4: the most. So if you don't stop the run, they're
• 13:16
  Speaker 4: gonna keep running it.
• 13:17
  Speaker 2: Yeah, Eric runs, he's mousing back inside a defensive tackle.
• 13:21
  Speaker 2: Just how much of an ef bet can that make
• 13:23
  Speaker 2: on you?
• 13:23
  Speaker 5: Guys?
• 13:23
  Speaker 2: Has a line dunder group Having a guy.
• 13:25
  Speaker 4: Like that has a bush, Yeah, I mean he's a
• 13:27
  Speaker 4: guy that a lot of offensive lines respect as well,
• 13:29
  Speaker 4: So it gets more attention, which makes my job easier.
• 13:31
  Speaker 4: Maybe flowing over the top or maybe I know they're
• 13:34
  Speaker 4: hanging on that double team being able to shoot a
• 13:35
  Speaker 4: gap and stuff, So I like that aspect of it. Obviously,
• 13:38
  Speaker 4: he's a vet so he knows what to do with
• 13:40
  Speaker 4: his body and stuff. And you know, somebody you don't
• 13:42
  Speaker 4: really have to worry about being ready every Sunday.
• 13:44
  Speaker 7: I feel like, but just you know, he gonna bring
• 13:47
  Speaker 7: it and then we're gonna play.
• 13:48
  Speaker 8: Off with them.
• 13:49
  Speaker 6: I feel like every time I Ga stakes a play,
• 13:51
  Speaker 6: you're out there sharing the guys on.
• 13:53
  Speaker 7: I mean, I see you running from the sideline all
• 13:54
  Speaker 7: the way over.
• 13:55
  Speaker 6: To cheer you guys on.
• 13:56
  Speaker 2: What's it like for you to have that type of
• 13:58
  Speaker 2: leadership out there for the guy and just showing up
• 14:00
  Speaker 2: for them every single play.
• 14:02
  Speaker 4: I just think, no matter how you feel, you can't
• 14:05
  Speaker 4: be some timing and there are gonna be ebbs and
• 14:07
  Speaker 4: flows of practice, ebbs.
• 14:08
  Speaker 7: And flows of a game.
• 14:09
  Speaker 4: But you know, if somebody makes a play, if they
• 14:11
  Speaker 4: don't feel like it's rewarded and uh, you know, celebrated
• 14:14
  Speaker 4: or celebrated, then you know they don't feel as juiced
• 14:17
  Speaker 4: when they make it. They don't want to make it
• 14:18
  Speaker 4: as much. You celebrate every play that you make. You know,
• 14:21
  Speaker 4: a whole team wants to make plays with you, got
• 14:23
  Speaker 4: with you, and they're gonna cheer for me when I
• 14:24
  Speaker 4: make a play. So I just think it's camaraderie of
• 14:26
  Speaker 4: a defense, brotherhood of a defense that you can show
• 14:29
  Speaker 4: it in practice or on the field by really how
• 14:32
  Speaker 4: you cheering for your boy.
• 14:32
  Speaker 7: When they make a play, no matter who it is.
• 14:34
  Speaker 6: Josh said, make sure he wants more guys, specifically on
• 14:37
  Speaker 6: the defense to be on the top one hundred list.
• 14:39
  Speaker 6: Do you feel like you got snubbed on that list?
• 14:41
  Speaker 7: I know we had a bad year last year. I
• 14:42
  Speaker 7: can't watch you. Sometimes I feel like people are gifted
• 14:45
  Speaker 7: the top one.
• 14:45
  Speaker 4: Hundred because of who they are, and I've never been
• 14:47
  Speaker 4: one of those guys that have been fortunate to be
• 14:49
  Speaker 4: high drafted or in a high market with a high
• 14:52
  Speaker 4: wind percentage. Obviously, you made the playoffs one year, and
• 14:54
  Speaker 4: I Thattle League and tackles a whole bunch, But I
• 14:56
  Speaker 4: did not make the list, and I just add that
• 14:58
  Speaker 4: as fuel to the fire. But last year, you know,
• 15:01
  Speaker 4: injuries and I didn't play to my potential. So it's
• 15:05
  Speaker 4: a blessing every time. It's a blessing, and I want
• 15:06
  Speaker 4: to make it and I want to be the best
• 15:08
  Speaker 4: out there, and I work to be the best out there.
• 15:10
  Speaker 4: But if I don't do it, that's what or that's
• 15:12
  Speaker 4: what it is. You know, so obviously it's a goal,
• 15:15
  Speaker 4: but I think team defense is gonna help more of
• 15:17
  Speaker 4: us get on there. More wins are gonna help more
• 15:19
  Speaker 4: of us get on there. They're gonna reward reward me
• 15:21
  Speaker 4: when I earn it. They're not gonna givet it to me.
• 15:23
  Speaker 4: And I never had that in my career.
• 15:25
  Speaker 6: I don't know if you answered this already, but how
• 15:26
  Speaker 6: are you feeling about this coach Campanelli defense?
• 15:29
  Speaker 4: For you personally, that's a lot of opportunity for me
• 15:32
  Speaker 4: getting odds back to the ball kind of what.
• 15:34
  Speaker 7: I grew up in a little bit for my first
• 15:36
  Speaker 7: three years.
• 15:36
  Speaker 4: Atlanta, where I felt like more of a playmaker and stuff.
• 15:39
  Speaker 4: I had some good years there, you know, trusting for
• 15:44
  Speaker 4: my boys. Now know what to do, so I can
• 15:45
  Speaker 4: really trust my breaks on the ball, go get the ball,
• 15:48
  Speaker 4: even when a running back hast the ball, being able
• 15:49
  Speaker 4: to punch it back because I know where to help
• 15:51
  Speaker 4: tackle is coming from the vice tackles and stuff. And
• 15:53
  Speaker 4: then when we were running other defenses, it's not that
• 15:57
  Speaker 4: old P. Carroll type defense, understanding that my stafety know
• 16:01
  Speaker 4: what they're doing where they're running the run, fits and stuff.
• 16:04
  Speaker 7: Understanding when I can play low when I have to
• 16:06
  Speaker 7: carry high. It's really cool for me. I like it.
• 16:09
  Speaker 6: Did you mentioned the sefety groups a few different times already?
• 16:12
  Speaker 6: Just how much how reassuring is it that you know
• 16:16
  Speaker 6: now these guys actually you know, I think.
• 16:18
  Speaker 4: It's so important, Like for the whole defense, you know
• 16:21
  Speaker 4: everybody's doing it, when you have trusted people behind you,
• 16:24
  Speaker 4: it's really cool. I'm seeing the growth that we take
• 16:27
  Speaker 4: as a whole defense and the growth that I'm taking
• 16:30
  Speaker 4: as a player just playing my play. I remember Coach
• 16:33
  Speaker 4: Callwell called me in a racer way back in the day,
• 16:35
  Speaker 4: And sometimes it hurts your because you're trying to make
• 16:38
  Speaker 4: sure everybody else is right. Obviously I'm around the ball
• 16:40
  Speaker 4: that you play, but I can just trust my play
• 16:42
  Speaker 4: and the ball get funneled back to me staying in
• 16:44
  Speaker 4: my gap. Then I feel like I can make even
• 16:46
  Speaker 4: more splash plays. And I think them knowing what they're
• 16:49
  Speaker 4: doing helps.
• 16:49
  Speaker 5: Me out even more.
• 16:50
  Speaker 7: Maybe they can communicate something I'm not even seeing.
• 16:52
  Speaker 2: Are you shocked to see what Travis Manner is able
• 16:54
  Speaker 2: to do go back and forward offense, defense? The conditioning
• 16:56
  Speaker 2: level that.
• 16:57
  Speaker 4: The conditioning and energy is crazy, and that's just who
• 16:59
  Speaker 4: he is, Like he always got high energy.
• 17:03
  Speaker 7: Yeah, and obviously you gotta.
• 17:04
  Speaker 4: Grow as a He's a young guy, so whatever he's
• 17:06
  Speaker 4: running into out there, I'm not with him all hours
• 17:08
  Speaker 4: of the day. Just be able to keep taking coaching
• 17:11
  Speaker 4: from other players, from.
• 17:12
  Speaker 7: Your coaches, and keep growing as a player. I think
• 17:15
  Speaker 7: the more he plays that he plays, the more he's
• 17:17
  Speaker 7: going to keep growing and say what should I do now?
• 17:20
  Speaker 7: What should I do now?
• 17:21
  Speaker 4: And it'll be cool to see how he takes off
• 17:23
  Speaker 4: and the player he can develop into.
