 Nah, he didn't I don't he show me love every year. He's never got me. So Hey, he must love me, I don't know or he might not and I don't know Kevin Logan on the other side you get a chance to talk to him real quick before or any time today No, absolutely, man. Obviously Logan's my guy. We trained a little bit last off-season down tap I went down there training for a couple days. Like I said, man when Logan came in That was my second year. He was obviously brought in. You know, he was the highest-paid guy in the room He was our leader at the time and I learned a lot from Logan just his work ethic Just being the leader in the meeting rooms and doing all the little things so I learned a lot from him So obviously we chopped it up for a while over there on the sideline just talking about, you know Old ball old things we used to do, but it's good to see him out there Yeah, I did man, he made a couple plays he made a play in the two-minute over there But obviously, you know future Hall of Famer Anytime that any of our corners Caleb Roger, they can line up against him I just talked to him like hey, this is what it's going to be every single week. I mean, it's a future Hall of Famer So it's a good guy to kind of I won't say compare yourself against but You know, it's type of receivers you're going to see weekend week out when you're facing those number one So obviously it was good to see him out there healthy and going out there practicing going hard How does Tampa's personnel kind of present a different challenge for you guys? Even though you guys played him before but What does they how do what they do kind of challenge you guys for what you guys bring out there on the field? Oh, I mean, it's kind of tough to say honestly because you know, a lot of the guys are out Mike Evans didn't practice Russell Gage Chris Gaiman. So we really wasn't having a real opportunity to face their number ones Um, and obviously Tom wasn't out there. They had some guys I think Gina Bonnie Bernardo was a really good runner back out the back field So it's kind of tough to gauge that I honestly felt like our defense went out there and and we we set the tempo We set the tone today. I feel like we had some really good plays I mean they had some plays as well, but for the most part I felt like it was pretty dominant Uh, we got to watch the film, but uh, really like how we looked looked out there on defense Was turned up how were you guys in the backfield from a communication standpoint? How were you able to maintain that? I mean, I think it was locked in today Honestly, I mean we kind of knew with those guys being out They was going to come out and some different personnel. They came out there three tight ends two receivers uh They came out there one time two two tight ends three receivers and stuff like that So we kind of just knew our communication had to be on point. I think it was really good today Obviously still had to watch the film There was still a couple of plays that we was a little shaky or whatever But uh, like I said, I think we was on point on the back end And obviously I think the front seven set the tone a lot today Even though they didn't have, you know, Evans and Godwin, they still had some smaller guys For sure going against the tight ends receivers Exactly generally bigger guys. How was that? HAPPENBURSTED! Damn. I spoke too soon. At least he didn't give me my eyes though, so we good Y'all need to record these numbers. I probably look crazy But um, but now honestly, uh, obviously they had uh, ain't Scotty Miller Yeah, I know right? Scotty Miller, number one, Darden, a real good speed guy So anytime I see those guys in the game personnel wise I kind of didn't want to stretch the field a little bit so But like I said, knowing their personnel know the kind of guys that they have It's definitely a little bit different because like I said, we're used to more big physical receivers And um, appreciate it. And they have some short, shifty fast guys So like I said, it was really good work today. We'll get some red zone work tomorrow So I'm going to be excited for that as well What do you think about some of the younger D's you used today? Just their kind of first time out there in joints Right. Yeah, I mean we just, I think we just uh, claimed Lonnie Johnson He got a pick on the first day So we, you know, good to have him out here I know he was a really uh, made some plays out there in Houston as well So we good to have him Honestly, and I talked to some of the younger safeties that's been here AC, Adrian Colbert Our defense is real complex So it is kind of tough coming in middle of training camp Not really all the installs are pretty much in So I think they've been doing a really good job day in and day out Just trying to learn the defense trying to pick things up Amanda was back out here today so it was good to have them as well But I think as a whole as our defensive group As complex as this defense is some of the young guys I think they have done a great job of understanding just the details of the defense As always things we're going to continue to work on but overall Especially how it's been in previous years I think the communication, the details I think it's been pretty spot on When you come off a day like today and you said you felt like the defense Was on point for the most part and did the job And you go watch the film, does it usually validate what you feel like coming off the field Or sometimes is it disappointing? Now honestly I wouldn't say disappoints but sometimes and I always say this Usually it's never as good as you think and it's never as bad as you think as well So I definitely felt like the energy was great Just looking at some of the plays I think that we really dominated But honestly I think that should be the expectation It shouldn't be like we should be surprised or anything like that That should be what we want to do every single day But obviously like I said they had some plays they made some plays They kind of made some plays in that two minutes as well So but overall I feel like the sense come off the field We feel really good about how we competed today I mean just preach it when we get back into our meetings that hey we watched the film We corrected some things but overall it was a good day We had to continue to stack days because you know you can play good one week and then You know wet the bed the next week and that's not what you want to do in this NFL Or in this league so like I said it's good to come up here against Tampa to play Practice against those guys but after reviewing the film If guys made a great play hey we have to continue to build on that I know like previous practice Caleb had a really good practice He had some pbu's out there and I told him come here today Hey let's stack days let's continue to stack those things So it's something that we're always going to preach and preach You know it's going to be guys is going to have up and down days here and there But you want to have more good days than bad days So Mike said that Caleb had a good day yesterday didn't really like his day to day What do you make of that of him not being able to stack that with the competition today? Yeah, I mean it's I mean he had a play in two minutes against Julio Jones I mean that's that's what it's going to be and I think it's a good learning experience for him To understand that hey sometimes you're going to be against guys during practice Some guys may be out or whatever and I'm not necessarily saying lesser competition But you're talking about a future Hall of Fame receivers We don't go up against those guys every single day in practice So just to understand that that's how locked in you got to be every single day The competition and your competitiveness has to be you know on 10 all time so But like I said, I mean I've got to watch the film. I think he made some good plays But you know maybe a little up and down But I would hate to try to judge performance based upon a couple plays that I've seen Because if I watched the film it's a couple times where he could have had a guy locked up And they just didn't throw the ball his side So the life of a corner bag is tough You know they only judge you off the place off the times they throw you the ball I mean or throw the ball to you versus you know You could have you know six seven good plays and then they catch the ball one play and it's like Okay, he had a bad day. So like I said, we'll watch the film. I think he's been doing well though He's stacking them up. What are your thoughts on what he's been able to do? Yeah, man, I talked about it. I think a couple times or a few times ago when I was on the podium that I think Christian's going to be a real good X factor for us and he has to be an X factor for us And I told him that that you have to come out here every single day and set the tone You're the oldest guy in the cornerback room So you have to be the leader of that group and make sure that every single day you're bringing the energy You're super competitive. He has some good pass breakups over there and in the two men or whatever But like I said, he's been having really good days. He's been having a really good camp And I'm looking forward to him during the season It wasn't that bad. I don't think he did that well just judging it. I didn't get nothing in my eyes I didn't see him do shaving cream on guys. I think he got various one time all in the eyes or whatever So as long as my eyes not burning, I can do I'm about to go jump in the shower and I'll forget all about it To do that man. Is there no repercussions or what? No, man, we don't mess with Ben. Ben is a wild guy Um Like when you're talking about in the locker room, I mean I got some stories about this guy, but he's he's crazy Uh crazy guy, but no, I mean ben He he's the wally vet here man. He gets pretty much does what he want to do and uh, you know, it's kind of like a tradition So honestly, I didn't see it coming at all. I was like, I usually have good peripheral vision And he kind of snuck me. So uh good for him Exactly so uh I don't want to know any more surprises. I don't know. I might be good for it. I might be good for the rest of the off season All right, not overall impressions ryan, I guess uh On the day. Yeah, I think we did some good things. Um guys came out competed. It was good Good uh competitive spirit out there. Uh guys are playing fast guys made some plays down the field. Um, obviously some things We've got to get cleaned up, but overall I felt like We did some good things and uh have a lot to uh to look at and improve on Some of those things you would like to see the offense clean up on Uh, just execution, you know, I don't think there was anything, um major I think First thing it jumps out of me was jumping off sides twice on third and third down third and short third medium Um, trying to use cadence to uh to keep the defense on their heels And we have to be able to do that. So we we had two movements there Which will hurt us and put us in third long situation. So gotta obviously got to get those cleaned up. Um But yeah, just overall, you know, I think there was a lot of good things There with three street I thought we ran the ball well. I mean, obviously I'm carrying out fakes on a lot of it, but uh seemed like we were we're getting some good runs Um, some creases and our backs are running the ball well Like I mentioned guys made the plays down the field for me We were able to execute in two minutes put ourselves in a position to go in the game twice in a row there. Um Guys are making plays getting open. So, um, you know, there's a lot of good good things there And then definitely some things we can clean up You know, you were going deep to him against your teammates But now against the books there. They're secondary Yeah, you know, we uh, we didn't know what we were going to get coming out But got a couple looks to uh to put the ball up deep and First one trailing made made a play from me down the field and then, uh, you know Second one racy contested catch was able to go up and make a big grab for me So good to see that that carry over from, you know, what we've seen against our team against against Tampa today But also with Kyle Phillips, how much do you like seeing what they do on the practice field? Translate well against another team when you go against them Well, that's what you want to see, right? Do you want to see it, you know carry over whether it's practice against us practice against Tampa or and carry over to the game And you want to see that consistency on a day-to-day basis and if a guy's shown he wins Consistently against our guys and a guy show he wins consistently against Tampa's guys And most likely he's going to have a good chance to win against other teams as well. So, um, the more we can do that, you know The better We're going to feel about winning those matchups We'll talk about it as well. I'm just to throw it. So I'm during during the Baltimore game He said today, you know seeing a different two-minute defense made him hesitate You have many conversations with him about letting it rip. Yeah, we were constantly talking, you know He's asking me questions and I'm trying to help him out as best I can Just asking what I see and I'm kind of walking him through that and and what we're trying to accomplish So there's been a lot of good conversations with him throughout this training camp You know, even even today included so Definitely just want to keep having those The hesitancy Well, I know, you know early in your career things are moving fast, right first time You know going against I guess he played in the game, but going against another another team in practice and Maybe something we haven't you know spent a lot of time preparing for on tape, you know Like a game week, right? You're kind of going with an idea of all right This team likes these coverages in two minutes. They like this on third down So, you know coming out to a practice is a tough situation because you don't put quite as much time in the preparation So um gotta be able to to make quick decisions and and see what's going on and for a young player That's tough, but obviously he's made a lot of strides this this camp and You know gotta gotta keep the foot on the gasp Yeah, Robert obviously did a good job. There was a big void in there I had quick pressure from the right and um, you know, he's coming in kind of across my body a little bit I did a good job of uh, of staying open there for me in the in the void and was able to hit him Yeah, it's it's good work, right because you know you see You see the things that your team does, you know pretty consistently, right? And then it comes the game within the game with the offense and defense on your own team and to come out Against the team. We haven't you know been been going against and it kind of test ourselves and and see different looks See guys make game time decisions against different defenses Uh, it's really just good work for for all of us. So like I said proud of our guys The way we came out and competed have some things we need to clean up and look forward to doing that The important is this uh, ryan for for getting that chemistry with a lot of new pass catchers for you And and maybe specifically there was a stretch with austin I think he had three straight passes to him that he caught that assigned that things are kind of moving in The right direction there. Yeah, no, Austin's done a great job for us. You mentioned we have we have several guys that are either new to this team or kind of roles stepping up on this team and It's been a fun camp for me. Just building those relationships Building that chemistry, you know having the conversations, you know day-to-day basis on on what I'm expecting and and how They're seeing certain things. So That chemistry just continues to to build and to grow and austin did some really good things in that two minute you know he's winning one-on-one matchups and Into making plays. So, you know when a guy has shown to consistently do that it builds a lot of confidence Ryan with with malik. He always seems to us to have a pretty laid-back mentality. How important is that for a quarterback to not Get too flustered when things don't go right? Yeah, I try to you know stay pretty steady, you know I think the game is uh is an emotional game and there's ebbs and flows within than the game almost each and every week so um, you have to be able to Um, you know stay steady, you know, no matter no matter what's going on things things are going well You want to keep them going well, but you can't get too too hype and if you know things take a downturn You have to be able to you know keep keep your uh, your confidence and positivity and try to translate that to your teammates And so you can you can fix things and get things going Talk about setting a tone and I know that's part of like a defensive mentality, but from an offensive perspective Is that something that you guys Excuse me set out to do in a situation like this Well, we we like to play a certain type of ball. I think there's no no secret about it A variable wants to play a certain way on offense and our team is built that way So we want to play physical we want to play tough Come off the ball and and move people and and create running lanes for our running backs So I'll have to take a look at the tape, but Felt like we had some some good opportunities to do that today and and a good movement up front So um, like I said, we'll take a look at the tape and and see where we can go from here Okay, Teresa, let's go Mike, uh, I'm not sure if you got to watch any of the defense today How challenging is it when you've got maybe you know, tom's not here today for them So they're going up against gabbert and trask, you know How do you maybe do you put a thumb on the scale when you look at what your defense did do today when you watch it on film? We can't control who's on the other side. We've never worried about that It was great work You know, all we can do is focus on what the call is what the technique is what the execution looks like And and coach the action and not the result. You know, it doesn't really matter who's on the other side Well, I mean I thought that we got off to a good start defensively on some of those one-on-ones I thought we were challenging I thought we were tight coverage without fouling Made some plays on the football You know, Todd wanted to spend time with the with the defense and our offense So, you know, I went to the other side and it was with our defense and And their offense so You know, there were some good things. I thought we did we had a good string of third downs You know, but without you know looking at the tape, I just want to you know I thought that the you know, there were some competitive parts And I think there's some things that obviously we're going to have to do a little better Yeah, that was encouraging just being able to view that and see the operation I thought, you know, the protection was good Great to see hoop there getting you know getting getting us going early You know running the ball back and getting set all those things that we talked about with the operation What time is critical and and then Randy, you know being able to step in there and make a kick so Unfortunately, it wasn't good enough on defense At times over there in that situation. So, you know, we get the coach from it and I thought it was really good. I thought I appreciate how the Tampa Bay practiced. I appreciate how we practice. I know that it's It's competitive and things that you know, I mean, you're going to try to take it to the edge and you know, but I felt like We all respected each other. We just try to stay away from the quarterback. So Really appreciated that The defensive one-on-ones down there Christian seemed to be particularly good against Julio a couple times Yeah, I just touched on that I just touched on that here with the one-on-ones with not being that being tight coverage and not being in Fallon and challenging And you know, there's some things that we have to work on but I would say encouraging Um on on first glance, I didn't think it was probably his best day at a good day yesterday and um, you know, I'm gonna go watch the tape, but I just You know didn't didn't see what I saw this, you know from yesterday I thought he you know some things that we need to continue to work on Today for your Second string offensive line against this particular type defense. I'm sorry to how good is how good are days like today? Oh, yeah, they're great. Yeah new looks new schemes new players That's something we've always talked about with the joint practices is being able to To figure out who the guy is that you're going against his play style What moves he's used, you know and one-on-ones and then translating it over to the team drills He felt himself holding the ball a little too long in the two minute because It was a look that he hadn't necessarily seen before how much of a teaching tool can that be for him? Well, it's um It's why we do these and that's why we wanted him out there and You know the look changes post snap and that's what you know good defenses do and you know, he'll have to see that he'll have to recognize and You know, we'll have to just try to get him prepared for the next situation Lonnie and good to see him have a pick right out of game today Well, he's big. He's long. He's fast. He's been a physical player. So We like the opportunity to try to add him and And coach him and see if he can define a role for him for himself on this football team and find a way to help us Well, they're beneficial, uh, you know, if you can Agree to respect, you know the opponent and take care of each other Nobody's out here trying to to take any shots at each other. I get it. It gets competitive And you know, there's some parking and there's some motions and that's that's all part of this game. So You know, we'll do these as long as that we can You know Handle it ourselves and find another team that's that's willing to do it the same way Anybody that you know Doesn't take the the full reps of practice would Would lose out an opportunity is whether that's any of the other guys that went in so It's not one specific guy as it relates to You know time missed, you know, I mean every practice rep and everything that's every situation is is critical
