 Chris Jackson is why I'm going to start with you just because, you know, came in as a seventh round pick is not an easy time to make a roster if you're a young guy and he seemed like he was kind of scrappy and aggressive all the way through. What'd you see from him? I know Kevin had some really nice things to say about him over the weekend. What's your assessment of him after his first camp and as he heads into the season? Yeah, I think starting with the Zoom meetings he did a great job of retaining information and really, you know, trying to understand how to be a pro in those Zoom meetings, right? Because you can get distracted, you're not face to face with someone, we're not going out and practicing. So he really was able to take that information and even though we didn't practice it he was able to retain that. And then once we got here in camp, you know, he showed a good ability to take the meetings to the field and then the, you know, individual practice work that we did and then take those individual practice reps to team reps and, you know, he did a good job with that and he showed a good ability to do the things that we need him to do and was able to earn a roster spot. Very proud of him and the way he's handled himself these first couple months. And I asked Terrell this a minute ago just about how much time he spends during the week, maybe on game day, motivating guys. I mean, these guys are pros. Some of the guys you're coaching have been a league many years. How much time do you spend motivating them? Or as Terrell said, he's more of a truth teller. He just tells them what they need to do. I mean, where do you fall as far as getting guys jacked up to play? Yeah, I'm not sure it's about getting them jacked up. Like that's probably more something you see on on a movie. Remember the Titans or Friday Night Lights? I don't know if it's so much jacked up. But I do believe, you know, part of our job is to take those guys someplace where they can't go by themselves, right? So as a coach, you know, to try and motivate them. And again, that's not jacking them up, but that's getting the most out of them and being able to play at their highest level when it's most critical. So, you know, and that can happen in different ways for different guys, you know. Again, and it's throughout the week that you're motivating them and that you're teaching them and that you're developing them so that, you know, Sundays is their day, you know, so it's not this big rah rah speech, you know, on Sundays, but it's continually trying to teach, develop, and inspire them throughout the week to get them to play at their best on Sundays. Thank you, Scott. John? What's up, Coach Scott? Hey, Duran. How are you doing? I'm doing well. How are you? Great. Good, good. Kevin Byer, three years as a team captain, three years you've worked with him. How have you seen him just develop as a leader on this thing? Yeah, great question. So obviously when we got here in 2018, you know, he was coming off of a pro bowl year and kind of his breakout season. And, you know, one thing that, you know, happens sometimes with guys is that, you know, they get these individual accolades and stuff like that. And, you know, that can distract them from the team goal. But those individual accolades for Kevin never distracted him from the team goal. And I think if you're, you know, fortunate enough to be named captain once, let alone multiple times, it really shows the type of team player that you are and the type of guy they want to hold everybody accountable, right? Because it's not easy. There's a price that you have to pay for leadership, you know? And he's willing to pay that price, you know, day in and day out. His teammates have seen that and respect that. And I don't think there's any other true way to see that is whenever you're named captain. And then with Kenny Vicarro, especially looking at that Ravens game last year, he was pretty much all over the place. How much do you guys look forward to being able to, you know, showcase him? Because it's kind of underrated like how well he could play as a nickel back as well. Yep, yep. So, you know, I'm not sure who's underrating him, but as far as just in these buildings, and you know, for me personally just speaking for myself, he is very valuable to what we do on defense. And it starts quite frankly with his knowledge of the defense and then being able to have him learn multiple positions, but then also not only learn them, but play them at a high level. So, you know, he's able to take coaching from the classroom to the practice field and then from the practice field to game day, able to make different adjustments, not only from week to week, but in game as well. And so that makes it fun to coach him and that makes him very valuable, you know, to be able to do some of the things that we like him to do. And with his ability to blitz, that's something that's pretty potent for your defense. What is it about it that makes him a good blitzer? Is it timing? Is it just relentless approach, selflessness? Like what makes him so good on that blitz? Yeah, yeah. I think there's a, you know, an instinct that he has about him. He has the ability to be able to slip running backs at times. He has the ability to, you know, manipulate the protections at times. And, you know, he just really does a good job of whatever place we put him at, blitzing, he's able to disrupt the quarterback. And at the end of the day, that's what we're looking for whenever we send someone to blitz is to disrupt the quarterback. Thank you. John? John, are you there? I am. Yep. Hey, Scott. No assistant can escape the clowny questions today. I'm wondering if you can talk maybe about the impact he might have on the secondary and the potential that, you know, you might not have to use those guys blitzing as much, you know, which could also boost you guys in the back too. Yeah, well anytime you add a piece, you know, to the team, like JD, you know, that's definitely something that everybody's gonna want to talk about. And, you know, obviously he's signed and on the team now. And so me not having a personal, you know, history with him, I can't talk too much about him personally. But just as far as any time you can get a great pass rush, obviously that's a defensive backs best friend. And so, you know, anybody that can again disrupt the quarterback, like I was saying Taran just a second ago, you know, is valuable. So, you know, looking forward to all those guys, you know, JD and the rest of the guys. And, you know, as far as the DBs, we are, and we want them to be a piece in all of it, you know, not just guys that cover, not just guys that blitz, but being able to do all things. So, but definitely, you know, when you get a piece that's able to disrupt the quarterback, happy about that in the back end. Sure. And just a follow on a different topic. What do you, what do you anticipate it'll be like? You guys know that there'll be no fans in the stands for at least the first three games. What do you think that'll be like? And how will it affect the players? Or do you suspect the players will, you know, after a little bit, not even think about it? What's your anticipation of what that'll be like for everybody? Well, again, you know, I'm coaching, so I don't, I don't know exactly how the players are going to be. I think what we've learned in 2020 just with everything is that we all have to adapt. And so, you know, we're preparing our guys the best we can for that new environment that has less fans and that has a bunch of empty seats and all that type. So, so, but that's not an excuse to do anything except go and play at our very best. But just on a personal note, you know, I know that, you know, fans just in general, you know, make sports a heck of a lot better the environment that they create. So whenever they do have the opportunity to come back, I personally will enjoy seeing people in two-tone blue cheering us on. Teresa? Scott, with Kevin Byer, when you have somebody that pushes himself to try to be great, how much does that help feed off, feed into the rest of that secondary? Yeah, it's really whenever you're being able to be player-led, instead of coach-led, that's whenever you have something special. And, you know, Kevin is a player that leads our group. And so the example of him in the classroom, in the meeting room, taking notes, asking questions, being engaged, and then going out on the field and, you know, playing at a high level, practicing at a high level, preparing at a high level is contagious. And so, you know, if, if, you know, one of our captains can do that, and one of our captains can go down, do some things, you know, anything that we ask him to do, then surely anybody else can do that. And if they're not doing that, then they have to look at themselves and say, man, why am I not doing something that our captain's going? So it's great to have him in our room. And, you know, couldn't be more proud of the way he handles himself on a day-in and day-out basis.
