- 0:00Speaker 1: Uh, everybody's starting to put everything together. The playbook, he's
- 0:02Speaker 1: staring to pile up a little bit. Feel like the
- 0:04Speaker 1: guy's attention to detail. With the long weekend, we feel
- 0:06Speaker 1: like we came in ready to work today. So I
- 0:08Speaker 1: feel like we're doing pretty.
- 0:09Speaker 2: Good right now.
- 0:12Speaker 1: Oh, I wouldn't say it's different. It's it's a lot
- 0:15Speaker 1: of components. It's like a multi d Uh. You're running
- 0:18Speaker 1: some of everything. So you just got to stay on
- 0:19Speaker 1: top of your playbook.
- 0:21Speaker 3: You look dinner much weight.
- 0:22Speaker 4: If you lost since last season.
- 0:24Speaker 2: They probably lost like three pounds as of right now.
- 0:26Speaker 5: Agrees it is just different on you.
- 0:29Speaker 1: Uh, we got it and did my body coming since
- 0:31Speaker 1: we first got back with More than Life, no doubt.
- 0:35Speaker 6: No doubt about that. NBA. Uh, but you guys were
- 0:37Speaker 6: asked to play heavy last year. Did you guys feel
- 0:40Speaker 6: that at some at different points on the defensive side.
- 0:43Speaker 1: Uh, I'm not gonna use it as an excuse, but
- 0:46Speaker 1: I mean it definitely played a little I felt like
- 0:47Speaker 1: it played a little bit of toll on you close
- 0:49Speaker 1: to the end of the season as we kind of
- 0:51Speaker 1: got on.
- 0:52Speaker 2: But uh, it has its pros and its cuns. Have
- 0:55Speaker 2: you shure you give yourself.
- 0:56Speaker 1: From now that you're not just you know, a younger
- 0:58Speaker 1: guy and out you're looked at it as one of
- 0:59Speaker 1: its Like I said, it's just a lot more mental now.
- 1:03Speaker 1: I feel like I play a lot faster. I'm a
- 1:05Speaker 1: lot more comfortable to guys in the locker room or
- 1:06Speaker 1: a lot comfortable with me too. And I feel like
- 1:09Speaker 1: that just came with me coming into the league, establishing myself,
- 1:12Speaker 1: making plays for myself, and regardless of what the media
- 1:16Speaker 1: or what position I was drafted, it's just me coming
- 1:18Speaker 1: in and making place.
- 1:19Speaker 2: Everybody's starting to believe you have a feel for all.
- 1:21Speaker 7: Your little changings and versus stuff world.
- 1:25Speaker 1: Uh, if it changes at all, I was just wanna say,
- 1:27Speaker 1: I really don't feel like it's anything's really changing. I
- 1:29Speaker 1: just feel like we were getting out the ball, were
- 1:31Speaker 1: rolling and Uh, like I say, we running a lot
- 1:32Speaker 1: of a lot of things in this defense that I
- 1:35Speaker 1: feel like we could take advantage of.
- 1:36Speaker 5: What are your personal of the league.
- 1:39Speaker 2: I love them.
- 1:39Speaker 1: It brings all of the coaches, including Limb, but I
- 1:42Speaker 1: think it starts with him an energy guy. Uh young,
- 1:45Speaker 1: He's always trying to get feedback from the players, So
- 1:47Speaker 1: I feel like that's gonna carry us along way as well.
- 1:50Speaker 2: Energy is practice. How is that just helping guys when
- 1:52Speaker 2: you're out here at the dog Man, I mean it
- 1:54Speaker 2: helps her.
- 1:54Speaker 1: I feel like everybody, if you got a high energy
- 1:56Speaker 1: guy like that, especially on days like this it gets
- 1:58Speaker 1: hot out here, you probably somebody's going to need somebody
- 2:00Speaker 1: to pick somebody up and bring 'em along with them.
- 2:02Speaker 1: And that's what the coach is encouraging. The coaches are
- 2:04Speaker 1: doing that to us, and us as players have to
- 2:06Speaker 1: pick up the players beside us as well to do
- 2:08Speaker 1: the same thing everyone.
- 2:09Speaker 7: Everyone talks about the hate continuity on the offensive side,
- 2:13Speaker 7: but this is what like the ninety defensive coordinator whatever,
- 2:16Speaker 7: since you've been here, seems like, would you like to
- 2:18Speaker 7: see a little bit more continuity and how do you
- 2:19Speaker 7: think that will help kind of like the.
- 2:22Speaker 2: Defense kind of repress? Uh? Most definitely would.
- 2:24Speaker 1: But I mean, like I said, I'm not gonna I'm
- 2:26Speaker 1: not the type of person to make excuses, but I
- 2:28Speaker 1: feel like just everybody would be a lot more comfortable
- 2:31Speaker 1: that way if we all if we're solid, Uh, like
- 2:34Speaker 1: I say, no weak links. Uh, you lose one link,
- 2:36Speaker 1: then you try to piece things together. But once you
- 2:39Speaker 1: get it jail then and everything's clicking.
- 2:40Speaker 2: I feel like it does floor a lot better.
- 2:42Speaker 3: What do you like about being defense or system? Can't
- 2:45Speaker 3: up with all your NFL?
- 2:45Speaker 2: Like, my main thing is the energy.
- 2:47Speaker 1: That's something that I feel like we was kind of
- 2:48Speaker 1: missing a little bit last year, and uh, I feel
- 2:50Speaker 1: like it's gonna play a big role with what the
- 2:52Speaker 1: coaches are bringing in out. That's the energy he kind
- 2:55Speaker 1: of provides to That's that's all the coaches.
- 2:57Speaker 3: What's he like a new force better to be kind of?
- 3:00Speaker 1: It was mainly the first thing that stands out is
- 3:02Speaker 1: his energy. It's not more so about I mean, he's
- 3:05Speaker 1: a great guy once you get to know him, but
- 3:07Speaker 1: the first thing that sticks out is the energy. He's
- 3:09Speaker 1: consistent with it every day and that's all you can
- 3:11Speaker 1: ask for a for a person to be the same
- 3:13Speaker 1: person every day, regardless of if he's a higher energy
- 3:15Speaker 1: guy or if he's just a mellow guy. He's one
- 3:17Speaker 1: of those high energy guys every day.
- 3:19Speaker 2: I know it's been a minute, but what.
- 3:20Speaker 6: Was your first reaction when your contract gotta picked up?
- 3:23Speaker 2: Uh?
- 3:23Speaker 1: Me, right now, I'm not worried about that. I just
- 3:26Speaker 1: leave that up to my agent. It to the upstairs
- 3:29Speaker 1: people upstairs.
- 3:30Speaker 7: But when they picked up a pick your option in
- 3:32Speaker 7: the center, I was excited.
- 3:33Speaker 1: Alright, Obviously I'm here in Jacksonville and put me here
- 3:36Speaker 1: in Jacksonville for a little bit longer, but I still
- 3:38Speaker 1: have to come out here and do it I'm supposed
- 3:39Speaker 1: to do every day?
- 3:40Speaker 8: Is it?
- 3:41Speaker 2: Nothing is guaranteed?
- 3:42Speaker 7: Sorry, does it seem like it's been three years already?
- 3:46Speaker 2: It doesn't.
- 3:47Speaker 1: It's it's going by pretty fast, man, just taking it
- 3:49Speaker 1: out land and joined the day by day.
- 3:51Speaker 2: You got your camp picking up something. Just talk me
- 3:55Speaker 2: a little bit about that. Oh yeah, man, something my camp?
- 3:58Speaker 2: So ona say. It's June fourteenth.
- 3:59Speaker 1: I just wanna get back to my community in any
- 4:01Speaker 1: little way that I can. I know a lot of kids.
- 4:03Speaker 1: I went back to my hometown this weekend. A lot
- 4:05Speaker 1: of kids was coming up to me, actual talking to
- 4:07Speaker 1: me about it. Uh So it just makes me excited
- 4:09Speaker 1: that they're already talking about it and ready to get
- 4:11Speaker 1: to work, and I'm ready to help them develop as well.
- 4:14Speaker 2: You've got to be to a high level of running.
- 4:16Speaker 6: Where do you see yourself going this year?
- 4:18Speaker 2: What are your areas as a right now?
- 4:23Speaker 1: I really haven't just set out any goals for myself,
- 4:25Speaker 1: But I always tell myself, just get one percent better
- 4:27Speaker 1: every day, and that's coming in Like today we have practice,
- 4:29Speaker 1: I'll go in and watch film and probably just uh
- 4:33Speaker 1: look at some fine details and try to get one
- 4:34Speaker 1: percent better at whatever it is I'm trying to come
- 4:37Speaker 1: into the next day of practice.
- 4:39Speaker 7: Double big of sacks? What does that mean to you?
- 4:42Speaker 3: Back to back years?
- 4:43Speaker 7: Got a chance to do it three years in a row.
- 4:45Speaker 7: Is that a a magic number in the past rushing stats?
- 4:48Speaker 2: I would I wouldn't.
- 4:48Speaker 1: I mean, everybody wants to get double to just sacks,
- 4:50Speaker 1: but uh for me, I just wanna be a total
- 4:52Speaker 1: complete football player. I wanna be able to stop the run,
- 4:55Speaker 1: cause we can't rush the pass without stopping and run.
- 4:57Speaker 1: And once we do that, then that allows us to
- 4:59Speaker 1: uh get out of the p out of the quarterbacks.
- 5:01Speaker 1: But I mean, like I said, I just want to
- 5:03Speaker 1: come out here and be the best overall player that.
- 5:04Speaker 2: I could be able to.
- 5:06Speaker 7: I think you'll get more opportunities inside this year than
- 5:09Speaker 7: maybe in years past, or you haven't yet, who knows.
- 5:12Speaker 2: I mean, I mean it's an NFL. We'll go game
- 5:14Speaker 2: week the week, We'll see.
- 5:17Speaker 4: Us in terms of bodies on the ground and just
- 5:23Speaker 4: take like practicing cleaner. It was much cleaner than day one.
- 5:28Speaker 4: Let's just say, right when you're just trying to come
- 5:30Speaker 4: in and get it going again after a few days off.
- 5:34Speaker 4: I thought it was definitely cleaner.
- 5:36Speaker 2: Was it perfect?
- 5:37Speaker 4: No, but I thought it was definitely better than the
- 5:40Speaker 4: previous Monday.
- 5:41Speaker 3: If you will.
- 5:42Speaker 7: It looks like a lot of your key defenders have
- 5:44Speaker 7: lost weight compared to last year. Was that a team director,
- 5:47Speaker 7: Was that something that you wanted to see or was
- 5:49Speaker 7: that something they did on their own?
- 5:50Speaker 9: Oh?
- 5:50Speaker 4: Yeah, just kind of getting some of those guys back
- 5:52Speaker 4: to you know, their natural playing weight, just kind of
- 5:56Speaker 4: where that maybe been in years past of having success
- 6:00Speaker 4: and kind of getting back to that is really what
- 6:02Speaker 4: it came down to.
- 6:04Speaker 3: Did you show up one.
- 6:05Speaker 6: Watching that last year that they were a little.
- 6:08Speaker 4: Bit on I mean side, you know, I know that
- 6:10Speaker 4: they had put some weight on, you know, in order
- 6:13Speaker 4: to play some of the schemes that you know, structures
- 6:16Speaker 4: that they were playing, and that's just you know, anybody's prerogative,
- 6:20Speaker 4: right That's that's the way they wanted to do it.
- 6:22Speaker 4: And ultimately just kind of evaluating it and talking to
- 6:25Speaker 4: some of the players and just trying to get them
- 6:28Speaker 4: back down a little bit to to maybe where they
- 6:30Speaker 4: had been when maybe they had had better years or
- 6:33Speaker 4: been a little bit more productive and definitely better for
- 6:36Speaker 4: for those guys to feel fresh.
- 6:38Speaker 3: Yeah, you've got the defense yet.
- 6:40Speaker 4: Yeah, last Wednesday, what do you think when you saw
- 6:43Speaker 4: him out there?
- 6:44Speaker 2: That was good?
- 6:44Speaker 4: You know, I mean he's still learning. He's been learning
- 6:46Speaker 4: a ton defensively and offensively as we know, you know,
- 6:50Speaker 4: but that was more so fundamentals techniques. It wasn't a
- 6:55Speaker 4: ton of eleven on eleven seven on. It was more
- 6:58Speaker 4: fundamentals techniques. Communication. That was what that kind of last
- 7:03Speaker 4: Wednesday was. And he's been learning with those guys and
- 7:05Speaker 4: meet with him extra as he's needed to.
- 7:07Speaker 1: There's a video going around right now just walking up
- 7:10Speaker 1: to a local high school kid and kind of introduced himself.
- 7:13Speaker 6: They can get to pay.
- 7:14Speaker 2: What was that kind of sad?
- 7:16Speaker 4: Yeah, that's pretty cool to hear. I hadn't I hadn't
- 7:19Speaker 4: heard that. That's that's pretty cool. It's it's in alignment
- 7:22Speaker 4: with who he is, you know, that's who he is
- 7:24Speaker 4: kind of out here. I'm sure he probably goes up
- 7:26Speaker 4: to some coaches and people on the field that he
- 7:30Speaker 4: may not even have had many interactions with and gives
- 7:33Speaker 4: him a fist bump or you know, high five, and
- 7:35Speaker 4: that's kind of just who he is. Pretty cool to
- 7:37Speaker 4: hear that story. He's been great man.
- 7:40Speaker 2: He's made a lot of plays.
- 7:42Speaker 4: He's been really productive throughout this whole camp so far,
- 7:47Speaker 4: showing versatility to do maybe some things that you know,
- 7:50Speaker 4: he had him put on tape maybe in the past
- 7:52Speaker 4: or wasn't asked to do from his uh skill set standpoint.
- 7:56Speaker 4: I thought, obviously he was very productive towards you know,
- 7:59Speaker 4: the halfway point of last year into the playoffs, and
- 8:02Speaker 4: then you see that confidence continuing to go throughout this
- 8:05Speaker 4: camp in this off season. So he's been doing a
- 8:08Speaker 4: nice job of being able to run vertically but also
- 8:11Speaker 4: you know, being the nuanced route runner and some of
- 8:14Speaker 4: the daggers and incuts and things like that. I thought
- 8:16Speaker 4: he's he's been very locked in this entire time. I've
- 8:20Speaker 4: been really impressed with the pro that he is.
- 8:24Speaker 2: The head coach.
- 8:25Speaker 1: What's the biggest difference between being a hate coach now
- 8:28Speaker 1: and being you.
- 8:29Speaker 4: Know, coordinated, Yeah, you got to spend your time in
- 8:33Speaker 4: a lot of more places right where you're typically as
- 8:36Speaker 4: a coordinator, you're so locked into what is in front
- 8:40Speaker 4: of you and the script and making sure that you
- 8:43Speaker 4: have the right plays in the right order and the
- 8:45Speaker 4: right people in the right spots. Now it's a little
- 8:48Speaker 4: bit more trying to go and make sure that you
- 8:50Speaker 4: get eyes on each position group, connect with the guys
- 8:53Speaker 4: out in the grass, make sure that they're, you know,
- 8:56Speaker 4: upholding the standard and the way we're trying to practice
- 8:58Speaker 4: and do things. So it's a little bit more broad,
- 9:01Speaker 4: I guess scope, while still being able to go in
- 9:04Speaker 4: and call it. And I thought the coaches have done
- 9:07Speaker 4: a great job in terms of the organization of practice
- 9:10Speaker 4: so far of the four practices we've had, the structure
- 9:13Speaker 4: of the organization, guys going from drill to drill, I
- 9:16Speaker 4: feel like he's been pretty sharp.
- 9:17Speaker 3: So kudos to the staff.
- 9:19Speaker 7: A new outra on you having with your impressions manim.
- 9:23Speaker 2: Pro, you know, pros Pro.
- 9:26Speaker 4: He's done things the right way since the day he's
- 9:28Speaker 4: walked in here. He's got a great demeanor in terms
- 9:32Speaker 4: of just being around the building, being in the meeting setting,
- 9:35Speaker 4: but also out here on the grass. He knows how
- 9:38Speaker 4: to practice. You don't see him out out of control
- 9:42Speaker 4: all that often. He has really good body control for
- 9:45Speaker 4: a big guy. I'm sure he could probably do a
- 9:48Speaker 4: lot more damage out here in some of these settings
- 9:50Speaker 4: than he's allowing on because he's doing it the right
- 9:54Speaker 4: way though, right He's focusing on his fundamentals and techniques.
- 9:58Speaker 4: He's trying to do the things all the time, and
- 10:02Speaker 4: you can definitely see some of the leadership qualities he
- 10:05Speaker 4: has just kind of naturally from.
- 10:07Speaker 2: What you can see the defensive line obviously no contact.
- 10:10Speaker 2: If you like the progress that that rim is making,
- 10:13Speaker 2: I do, yeah.
- 10:13Speaker 4: I think that from a communication standpoint, all five being
- 10:18Speaker 4: on the same page, you can definitely see an intent
- 10:23Speaker 4: behind what they're trying to do. I think Sean mt
- 10:26Speaker 4: Khali and Trevor have done a really nice job in
- 10:29Speaker 4: that room, and I think the players have caught on
- 10:32Speaker 4: I mean a lot of ways. It is extremely difficult
- 10:35Speaker 4: to evaluate this time, specifically the fronts, but from a
- 10:40Speaker 4: fundamental technique, communication angles, understanding the scheme, if you will,
- 10:47Speaker 4: and what we're trying to get accomplished on each play.
- 10:51Speaker 4: Our defense is thrown a ton at us from a
- 10:54Speaker 4: bullet standpoint, and just different looks. That is challenging. Especially
- 10:58Speaker 4: in Day four of OTA, so that'll only help us
- 11:02Speaker 4: moving forward. And I think those guys have done a
- 11:04Speaker 4: nice job so far, a lot of.
- 11:05Speaker 8: Help to get past Parker on that wide receiver depth chart.
- 11:09Speaker 8: What do you see from some of those younger guys
- 11:11Speaker 8: hoping up fill in those.
- 11:12Speaker 9: Other games in that room.
- 11:13Speaker 4: Yeah, I think that, you know, Josh Stephis has done
- 11:17Speaker 4: some good things over the course of the off season program.
- 11:20Speaker 4: I think Camper is shown up in a way as
- 11:23Speaker 4: you know, he made a big play today obviously on
- 11:26Speaker 4: the touchdown, a great tracking throw by Nick and and
- 11:30Speaker 4: you know, he's done a nice job. The whole group
- 11:32Speaker 4: is I don't want to say they're swimming, but at
- 11:34Speaker 4: times they're going to be. You know, there's so much
- 11:37Speaker 4: of when these guys come in post draft, especially you
- 11:42Speaker 4: know later on in an install of a whole new system, right,
- 11:46Speaker 4: so our our vets and these guys have been in
- 11:48Speaker 4: an offense for let's call it right a month and
- 11:50Speaker 4: a half and now these guys get put into it
- 11:53Speaker 4: right in the middle of an install. So it's really
- 11:56Speaker 4: hard to judge some of that, but I think they've
- 11:58Speaker 4: done a nice job of Hey, try trying to handle
- 12:00Speaker 4: it in the heat with the elements doing a lot
- 12:03Speaker 4: of running. So we'll see about how these guys end
- 12:06Speaker 4: up competing in training camp.
- 12:07Speaker 6: Though, back to Travis Hunter, is is it better a
- 12:10Speaker 6: little bit for him to not have him go offense
- 12:14Speaker 6: defense on the same day, to give him a number
- 12:17Speaker 6: of days on defense and then one day on offense.
- 12:19Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, Well, we won't put him in that situation
- 12:21Speaker 4: to have him do that, although I'm sure he'd probably
- 12:24Speaker 4: want to. Yeah, I'm sure, but at the end of
- 12:28Speaker 4: the day, it's trying to you know, he still meets
- 12:31Speaker 4: defensively every day that he's on offense, so he's getting
- 12:35Speaker 4: the mental part of it and being able to catch
- 12:37Speaker 4: up on some of the communication, some of the corrections
- 12:41Speaker 4: off the film from the defensive side of the ball.
- 12:44Speaker 4: So he's getting a lot of the mental and it
- 12:47Speaker 4: would probably be unfair to put him out on the
- 12:50Speaker 4: grass and do both and ask him to go do
- 12:52Speaker 4: that and see success.
- 12:54Speaker 7: You know, time when you would do that, he'll like
- 12:57Speaker 7: during the seas meeting.
- 12:58Speaker 4: Yeah, I would say so in season, he's gonna probably
- 13:00Speaker 4: have to just because it's the way that practices are
- 13:05Speaker 4: kind of organized. He's definitely gonna have to do that right,
- 13:08Speaker 4: Like I envisioned maybe a third down day in season
- 13:12Speaker 4: where obviously he's playing receiver, but he's also gonna have
- 13:16Speaker 4: to go get some reps on defense and be able
- 13:19Speaker 4: to do some of those things.
- 13:20Speaker 2: So it will come up.
- 13:21Speaker 4: Absolutely just from the teaching and the initial stages of it.
- 13:25Speaker 4: Don't really see that being something we'll do anytime soon
- 13:28Speaker 4: as you can when you guys have.
- 13:30Speaker 7: Thrown at him the way you expect them to just
- 13:33Speaker 7: throw into the process.
- 13:34Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, I would say so. I mean we we
- 13:37Speaker 4: don't just line up and trips right and double left
- 13:40Speaker 4: and I right all that often. So it's probably just
- 13:46Speaker 4: from a system standpoint, it's got a lot there's a
- 13:49Speaker 4: lot of moving parts. There's a lot of motion. So
- 13:53Speaker 4: he's gonna have some mistakes, as has a lot of guys. Right,
- 13:56Speaker 4: There's gonna be some. I don't think we've had a
- 13:59Speaker 4: complete uh ton of plays where he is not knowing
- 14:03Speaker 4: what to do right. There may be an instance where
- 14:06Speaker 4: he aligns right, runs there out, but maybe is a
- 14:08Speaker 4: yard or too shorter.
- 14:09Speaker 2: He messed, you know what I mean?
- 14:10Speaker 4: Things like that, the little details that he'll continue to learn,
- 14:14Speaker 4: and I think he's about where we would expect though,
- 14:16Speaker 4: as an offensive coach.
- 14:17Speaker 6: What is it what's hard in this league by going
- 14:19Speaker 6: against a defensive a zone defense mostly zone.
- 14:22Speaker 4: Yeah, just if you can get a pass rush with
- 14:25Speaker 4: playing you know, vision zone coverage and mixing it in
- 14:29Speaker 4: with obviously some match principles and man coverages. That's hard
- 14:33Speaker 4: because you can you can kind of squeeze the offense
- 14:36Speaker 4: that way, where if you can now get a rush
- 14:38Speaker 4: and now the ball's got to come out, but you
- 14:41Speaker 4: don't have a ton of room. If you can play
- 14:44Speaker 4: zone coverage a little bit tighter in terms of not
- 14:48Speaker 4: just spacing the whole off the whole field, now, I
- 14:51Speaker 4: think that's the key. You obviously saw Philly have a
- 14:54Speaker 4: lot of success this past year playing a lot of
- 14:56Speaker 4: vision zone coverage, shell coverage, still getting a rush with four.
- 15:01Speaker 4: I think if you were to draw up you know,
- 15:03Speaker 4: what's the ideal. I think that that's what you would
- 15:05Speaker 4: say as a defensive coordinator, Man, I can rush for
- 15:08Speaker 4: and play three deep in quarters. Man, that's gonna be difficult.
- 15:11Speaker 6: When you took this job, that was one of the
- 15:12Speaker 6: things that stood out was it I can get home
- 15:13Speaker 6: with four.
- 15:14Speaker 4: That's what's fo Yeah, you're you're hoping. So you know,
- 15:16Speaker 4: that's what you'd like to be able to do, and
- 15:18Speaker 4: they've shown to be able to do it in the
- 15:20Speaker 4: past obviously, and you know, we could continue to help
- 15:23Speaker 4: them by putting him in those positions or whether it's
- 15:26Speaker 4: with stunts and twists and games and trying to create
- 15:29Speaker 4: different angles for us up front. Yeah, there's gonna be
- 15:32Speaker 4: times where we just got to say, hey, you four
- 15:33Speaker 4: got to go win. That is going to have to happen,
- 15:36Speaker 4: But ultimately it's also on us to be able to
- 15:38Speaker 4: put him in the right positions to have that success
- 15:41Speaker 4: for a trafacy team.
- 15:42Speaker 2: Sit again, what's the day of personal date for a
- 15:44Speaker 2: trafasy team?
- 15:45Speaker 4: Oh yeah, I think he just had a flight situation,
- 15:47Speaker 4: so wasn't anything, Uh, no issues. Thanks, Yeah, thanks guys.
- 15:52Speaker 5: Thanks the culture of the team, of the unit, you know,
- 15:55Speaker 5: was heading in the direction we wanted to go.
- 15:57Speaker 3: So we're we're excited about that, but a lot of
- 15:59Speaker 3: work to do yet.
- 16:00Speaker 2: You know what he's seeing out at Ravon and the
- 16:02Speaker 2: Josh Show front.
- 16:04Speaker 3: Just really excited about those guys.
- 16:05Speaker 5: I mean, obviously their ability to rush, but they've done
- 16:08Speaker 5: a really good job in a run game at this
- 16:09Speaker 5: point too. Uh, their technicians and their D line coaches
- 16:12Speaker 5: have done a great job with him to this point.
- 16:14Speaker 3: So I'm really really pleased with their effort. And Uh,
- 16:17Speaker 3: they're great guys.
- 16:17Speaker 5: To man, they're guys you love to coach, and you
- 16:19Speaker 5: can't coach those guys to shooting.
- 16:21Speaker 9: Coach shot from man and man events to eight. So
- 16:25Speaker 9: she says, he said this is the first time he's
- 16:27Speaker 9: ever worked his own defense. So in your perspective, how
- 16:30Speaker 9: has he been doing in that chance?
- 16:32Speaker 5: Who were asking about Jarren? Yeah, I think he's done
- 16:35Speaker 5: a great job the whole camp. You know, he's really
- 16:38Speaker 5: really diligent in the meetings, Uh, super detailed and all
- 16:41Speaker 5: the drill work, and I think it's showing up here
- 16:44Speaker 5: uh in practice, you know, in seven o seven and
- 16:46Speaker 5: then the team situations. But uh, I've been really fired
- 16:49Speaker 5: out about him because he's a really bright guy and
- 16:51Speaker 5: he's a competitor. You know, he's definitely got the ability
- 16:54Speaker 5: to play man to man and play sticky.
- 16:56Speaker 7: Uh.
- 16:56Speaker 5: But he's got good ball skills and he's got a
- 16:58Speaker 5: ton in his body in terms.
- 16:59Speaker 3: Of physically, you know, he could stop start.
- 17:02Speaker 2: Uh.
- 17:02Speaker 5: He's just a really good cover guy and he's got
- 17:04Speaker 5: a really really.
- 17:04Speaker 3: Big skill set. Why ranging skill set is a dB
- 17:07Speaker 3: all right?
- 17:07Speaker 6: All four years?
- 17:10Speaker 3: I'm sorry.
- 17:12Speaker 5: Yeah, I think I think, uh, you know, obviously, like anything,
- 17:15Speaker 5: time will tell, but I think he's got a ton
- 17:18Speaker 5: of ability and I'm really really excited about where he
- 17:21Speaker 5: can go this year. I think this is a big
- 17:23Speaker 5: opportunity for him, and I think he's going to do
- 17:25Speaker 5: a really good job for us this year.
- 17:27Speaker 8: On record, how do you pronounce your last name?
- 17:29Speaker 3: Pronounce my last How do I pronounce my last name?
- 17:32Speaker 2: Yeah?
- 17:32Speaker 5: Well, well he was an Italian, this Campanili But yeah,
- 17:35Speaker 5: but everybody says CAMPBELLI.
- 17:37Speaker 3: So you know, I just rolled with the punches.
- 17:38Speaker 2: Whatever.
- 17:38Speaker 3: Just don't call me late for dinner, you know. That's
- 17:40Speaker 3: about it.
- 17:44Speaker 1: Said.
- 17:45Speaker 8: Your connection with him port why he's here, if you
- 17:47Speaker 8: can just speak to where that relationship starts in Miami,
- 17:50Speaker 8: where it is.
- 17:51Speaker 3: Yeah, I love that guy.
- 17:52Speaker 7: Man.
- 17:53Speaker 5: He's such a great human being and uh, if you've
- 17:56Speaker 5: had the chance to be around him, he really is.
- 17:57Speaker 5: He's a great guy, super come, copetitive guy, but a
- 18:00Speaker 5: technician like on the field, you know, run game, pass game.
- 18:04Speaker 5: He's been great for a lot of our younger players too,
- 18:06Speaker 5: because he's got a great. Well, not only does he
- 18:08Speaker 5: have a great skill set, but he's really got a
- 18:10Speaker 5: wealth of knowledge and has had a ton of a
- 18:12Speaker 5: ton of success in his career to this point, and
- 18:15Speaker 5: those a lot of stuff that we're doing in the system.
- 18:17Speaker 3: So yeah, I love bog I was really really fired.
- 18:21Speaker 5: Up about getting a beer and I'm happy he's here.
- 18:23Speaker 8: How important was it for you to film that quote
- 18:25Speaker 8: unquote edge three role that many believes been lacking there
- 18:28Speaker 8: for a couple of seasons.
- 18:28Speaker 5: Now, I think that's an important piece because you know
- 18:31Speaker 5: that guy when you go back at the end of
- 18:33Speaker 5: the year, that guy has a ton of production for you.
- 18:35Speaker 5: You know the next guy in and Emmanuel is a
- 18:38Speaker 5: guy that we really we gain a ton when he's
- 18:40Speaker 5: out there on the field. Like I said, wealth and knowledge,
- 18:42Speaker 5: a great competitor, and we have a really good player
- 18:46Speaker 5: against a run and a guy that's had a lot
- 18:47Speaker 5: of success in his career as a pass rusher.
- 18:49Speaker 3: So yeah, that was a really really important piece for us.
- 18:52Speaker 8: But guys like Josh Devin's three coordinators in four years,
- 18:55Speaker 8: how challenging is that for those guys?
- 18:57Speaker 3: Yeah, I would imagine it. It's it's challenging.
- 19:00Speaker 5: I think the thing that I really try to focus
- 19:03Speaker 5: on is, you know, our relationship with our players, you know,
- 19:06Speaker 5: my relationship with them, trying to get them to be
- 19:08Speaker 5: the best possible player they can be. And I can imagine,
- 19:11Speaker 5: you know that that's hard, a lot of transition, never easy.
- 19:14Speaker 5: But my experience with those guys has.
- 19:17Speaker 3: Been nothing but uh.
- 19:19Speaker 5: I mean, they've been unbelievable, just total pros. And they've
- 19:23Speaker 5: been really really hungry every day coming in to learn.
- 19:26Speaker 5: Obviously in the meeting room and out here on the
- 19:27Speaker 5: field they have.
- 19:28Speaker 7: Those guys gained some way to play in last year's scheme.
- 19:31Speaker 7: So how hard is it for the terms of guy
- 19:33Speaker 7: to kind of play when maybe they're not truly comfortable
- 19:35Speaker 7: with the way their finding feats.
- 19:37Speaker 5: Uh, you know, I wouldn't know that they probably be
- 19:39Speaker 5: better to better suit to answer that question, But I
- 19:41Speaker 5: really like the way they look right now. I think
- 19:43Speaker 5: they're really moving well, and they got a ton of strength,
- 19:46Speaker 5: which you know you need that you need strength.
- 19:48Speaker 3: At the point of attack.
- 19:48Speaker 5: You've got to play physical, you've got to be able
- 19:50Speaker 5: to whoop blocks, you know, be violent on the line
- 19:53Speaker 5: of scrimmage. So they look really good. I love what
- 19:55Speaker 5: they've done this offseason and our strength staff's an unbelievable
- 19:58Speaker 5: job with these guys have been grinding him and uh
- 20:01Speaker 5: showing out here.
- 20:02Speaker 3: You know, it's been been good.
- 20:04Speaker 7: You know, hey, look, we wanted to be lighter than
- 20:06Speaker 7: what we were last year.
- 20:07Speaker 5: No, it's really more so just we meet, uh you know,
- 20:11Speaker 5: as an organization, you know, with the strength staff and
- 20:13Speaker 5: just kind of look at where we think the best
- 20:15Speaker 5: way for those guys to go is in terms of
- 20:16Speaker 5: their weight, you know. But also, in my opinion, when
- 20:21Speaker 5: you're a pro, you usually know, hey, when am I
- 20:23Speaker 5: at optimal speed?
- 20:24Speaker 3: You know, where am I my strongest? Where I'm not
- 20:26Speaker 3: losing strength or losing speed?
- 20:27Speaker 5: And I think those guys that a great job with
- 20:29Speaker 5: that in the off season when they're away from here coming.
- 20:31Speaker 3: Back in great shape.
- 20:33Speaker 5: Having a players.
- 20:35Speaker 3: What's it like having to share a player the meeting?
- 20:39Speaker 3: Was it like to having to manage you know what
- 20:41Speaker 3: I mean?
- 20:42Speaker 5: Honestly, I've coached in high school, college and pro, so
- 20:44Speaker 5: I feel like I've done that a lot.
- 20:46Speaker 1: So Uh.
- 20:47Speaker 3: No, he he's a special guy because he's really really
- 20:50Speaker 3: a bright guy. I know you guys have gotten the
- 20:52Speaker 3: opportunity to meet him, but.
- 20:54Speaker 5: You know, all the coaches, everybody's been really impressed with
- 20:56Speaker 5: his ability to retain the information. He's been out here
- 20:59Speaker 5: with us obviously on defense, and I know he's on
- 21:01Speaker 5: offense today, but he's done a great job with that.
- 21:04Speaker 5: And I can't imagine another guy being any better better
- 21:07Speaker 5: suited to handle that. Travis is really certainly suited to
- 21:11Speaker 5: do that.
- 21:11Speaker 3: Coach said last Wednesday, out there with the defensive Yeah,
- 21:13Speaker 3: he was out with us last Wednesday. I think when
- 21:15Speaker 3: you saw him out there, I think he's pretty good. Yeah,
- 21:21Speaker 3: I'll fired up to have him out there.
- 21:22Speaker 5: And uh, he did a very good job, you know,
- 21:24Speaker 5: getting out there, and he's done a great job with
- 21:26Speaker 5: Coach Milis and Coach Lescarry, a couple of the other
- 21:29Speaker 5: coaches on staff, just spending time and he's doing extra
- 21:32Speaker 5: every day.
- 21:32Speaker 3: So I have a ton of respect for everything that
- 21:34Speaker 3: he's done to this point of work.
- 21:35Speaker 4: Are you gonna have to negotiate for him during games
- 21:37Speaker 4: like you need him on the defensive.
- 21:39Speaker 3: Sign that's something hey guy is but uh no, we
- 21:43Speaker 3: we have a plan for Travis and and uh excited
- 21:46Speaker 3: to put that in place.
- 21:47Speaker 5: And it's kind of it's been going very well to
- 21:49Speaker 5: this point, so We're excited to keep it moving throughout
- 21:51Speaker 5: the course of the preseason in the regular season.
- 21:53Speaker 6: Sorry, we can bring in veterans like you know, Jordan
- 21:56Speaker 6: Lewis and Eric Murray Connedy for the second area.
- 21:58Speaker 5: I think those guys are great communicator. You know, you
- 22:01Speaker 5: really gain a ton when guys are good communicators on
- 22:03Speaker 5: the back end because.
- 22:04Speaker 3: To us, like when you're talking about.
- 22:06Speaker 5: The pillars of defense, that's number one, being able to Like,
- 22:08Speaker 5: communication leads to anticipation, right, and big players are made
- 22:12Speaker 5: with anticipation. If I know it's one or two things,
- 22:14Speaker 5: I'm gonna be super aggressive and I'm gonna have the
- 22:16Speaker 5: opportunity to seize the moment and make a play. That
- 22:19Speaker 5: often happens with guys that are good communicators and guys
- 22:22Speaker 5: that are focused.
- 22:23Speaker 3: You know, a veteran guy usually brings that to the table.
- 22:26Speaker 3: But they're elite in.
- 22:27Speaker 5: That regard and not just that they're both really good players.
- 22:31Speaker 5: So I have a ton of confidence in those guys,
- 22:34Speaker 5: and I think the guys around them have really enjoyed
- 22:35Speaker 5: having them around because they're a great sounding board for them.
- 22:39Speaker 3: You know, they're they're They've been a big help to
- 22:41Speaker 3: so many.
- 22:41Speaker 5: Younger guys and like I said, great communicators that kind
- 22:43Speaker 5: of brings the camp to everybody out on the field.
- 22:45Speaker 1: Good to talk about the obviously the Tyson who seen
- 22:48Speaker 1: Jordan m Lewis, Who've seen Darian, Jonson.
- 22:50Speaker 2: And Buster Brown?
- 22:51Speaker 5: Just what is your Yeah, all those guys have done
- 22:53Speaker 5: a great job. I think Buster has done a great
- 22:56Speaker 5: job too. He's really been physical on the line of scrimma.
- 22:58Speaker 5: I know I've talked about Jarn and Jordan already, but
- 23:01Speaker 5: Buster's done a really good job. He's a super diligent
- 23:03Speaker 5: guy too, really really detailed in what he does, and
- 23:05Speaker 5: I've had a lot of fun coaching him and being
- 23:07Speaker 5: around him to this point. But they've all done a
- 23:08Speaker 5: great job. I kind of all just mixing them in
- 23:10Speaker 5: as we go here with OTAs, Did that person really
- 23:13Speaker 5: do something that you look forward with guys like Jarian
- 23:15Speaker 5: and Jordan Gan, Yeah, you love that, you know what
- 23:17Speaker 5: I mean.
- 23:18Speaker 3: You love to have guys that can play multiple positions.
- 23:20Speaker 5: I think Jarian is a guy that can play a
- 23:22Speaker 5: bunch of different positions, and Jordan obviously has been able
- 23:25Speaker 5: to do that in his career and hopefully and I
- 23:28Speaker 5: know he will continue to do that with us but
- 23:30Speaker 5: that makes it exciting because those guys can do a
- 23:31Speaker 5: lot of jobs. You know, they're physical guys at the
- 23:33Speaker 5: point of attack, which is huge, you know, so you
- 23:35Speaker 5: can do more with them in a run game in
- 23:36Speaker 5: terms of pressure, also in the past game.
- 23:39Speaker 3: So that's been exciting.
- 23:40Speaker 6: Good.
- 23:41Speaker 3: All right, I appreciate you guys. Thank you.
