 The thing that's going well, I think the most important thing is just playing with the right fundamentals and techniques and also just building the chemistry with your teammates. Just learning how each guy plays in the tight end room, how the tackles play because you're always working with them and how the receivers play because you're always running route combos with them. Certain receivers do different things, releases, trailing is a real big physical guy, Robbie's a real smooth and quick guy, so just learning how to play alongside people just like that. You have such a unique combination of physicality and athleticism. So how exciting is it for somebody like you to finally know, alright, here we go, pads are on and knowing that the physicality of the game is going to keep ramping up from here on out. Yeah, I feel like it puts me at an advantage just because like in the route game I'm able to be a lot more physical than you are and just having jerseys on. So you know, it's real nice to be able to put the pads on and just go and get after guys. How do you feel about seeing your fellow rookie classmates make some plays out here? You guys talk about that? What do you think? Yeah man, we're just trying to be the best rookie class we can be. Yeah? Alright, but I mean you guys watch each other and see how they make play there. You know, every time we see something make a play we always go and congratulate them because we're really close, we all came in together so whenever we see each other make a play we're very excited and very happy. Is there any kind of like pact going in? Yeah, you know, we're young guys man, we gotta show what we can do, that's how it is. Obviously coming from college there's a big difference, but what's been the hardest part, what's been the hardest adjustment this camp so far for you? Um, I'm not sure. I feel like NFL camp in terms of, you know, schedule is a lot easier than college camp. College camp was, you know, crazy in terms of that stuff. But just really, you know, just learning, relearning everything. You know, starting, you know, starting from not knowing anything anymore, you know, in college you knew everything, you knew the play. So now it's just different because you have to actually like think when you hear a play in the huddle, you gotta think about where you're going, you gotta think about your assignment, so you can't play as fast, but that's what we're working on right now is to just, you know, just learn the plays. So as soon as you get them from Ryan, it's just immediately in your head, you know exactly what you're doing and get your calls. So that's probably the main thing that you're focusing on right now. Um, I mean, we've been asking for that since camp started, you know, put the ball down. But now we got the pass zone, got out there a little bit, started with some trash talk, you know, that's just how it go. From a defensive standpoint, do you feel like you gotta set the tone to that in terms of what you need to do? Um, I think it's always room for improvement. I think it's first day of pass, everybody's still getting adjusted. Um, you know, we're still stacking the days. I think we ended on a good note. Um, just keep building, stacking the days. Come out here tomorrow after a full day of pass and get better. How much can you and Zach benefit from this time together where you guys are both healthy, you got a training camp together to establish your connection for the season? Um, like I said before, I think it's just a good way to start off. And I'm not him coming in the middle of the season, you know, trying to get adjusted, you know, he's had a long time to get the plays down. And now he's just building that chemistry, not just us, you know, the defense, the line, you know, the guys behind us. Like, you know, he's still stacking the days, you know, getting better. And for you specifically, what are you trying to do to elevate your game this season? Um, just starting off hitting the ground running, man, being consistent, you know, staying faithful, you know, in myself and in my team, you know, just keep building that confidence, man, just in this, becoming better as a, you know, as a man, as a person, you know, on and off the field. You know, I think that's gonna take me a long way. And you guys, to kind of get acclimated before everything is okay, no excuses? Um, I mean, a day or two, I mean, we've been playing this about this game for, you know, all our lives, you know, so it don't take that much time, you know, to get adjusted. So, you know, after the day, you know, got the jitters out, you know, come back tomorrow, you know, and build on it. And was today at 15? Uh, a little bit. I think I could have been more physical myself, but, you know, I just, you know, it's like I said, it's the first day still getting it, you know, we'll see after tomorrow the rest of the week. Is it awesome? Oh, it's a lot more fun, a lot more hitting, a lot more plays to be made, you know, a lot more chess talking. You will see that go on, you know, the rest of the week. Who's doing the most trash talking on the team right now? Uh, I mean, I can't even tell, you know what I mean? Between Jeff and Taylor, you know, we all get out there, you know. You know, I can't even tell you who it is right now. You're freeble, too, right? Oh, yeah. He gets in there when he needs to. Oh, a lot. You know, this is what, day four or five camp, so everything started wearing a little bit. And just to be able to see that progress from this year compared to last year and how my body feels, just how, you know, wake it up every day in the morning, you know, it definitely is paying off. Yeah, it feels really good. We're all talking to each other, communicating well. We played with each other for a while now. So, you know, it feels good. I'm very excited for where we can go. How do you feel again? Oh, he proves every single day. You know, we always say one percent better and he's doing that. I'm excited for him. Really excited for us. We're gonna be, we're gonna be, we're gonna be fine. We're gonna be fine. Do we make too much of Bruce's weight in the 290? Yeah. Or is big just big? Big is just big. At the end of the day, it's can you play? It doesn't matter if you're 280, 250, can you play? And he can play. So I got all the faith in him. How much, on days like this where you get to line up a guy, against guys like Big Jeff, I mean, how much does that make you a better player? Yeah, it makes us both better than the day. You know, just being able to, you know, he's one of the best these attackers in the league. So be able to go against him every single day. You know, that's a blessing. Ryan was on the ground for a lot last year. Yeah. You guys have it out there purposely, like, all right, that's not happening this year. Of course, you know, it's, you know, part of practice every single day is working on things like that. You know, obviously we love Ryan. We want to keep him upright as much as possible. That's what practice is for. So he's got to keep going, train in the right direction with it. No, for sure. You know, starting practice, we didn't come out to a hot start, but as practice started going, we got comfortable. You know, we started getting a tone and we started getting at it. How come you said you didn't get out to a hot start? How come? You know, bravely switched it up on us today. Right after stretch, we went straight to team. So I don't think boys is ready, but, you know, now that we know that's coming tomorrow, it's going to be a different, it's going to be a different, different thing. And how important is that to kind of go through that through training camp, get those kinks out of the way and get mentally prepared each day? Oh man, it's very important. You know, especially like training camp is where you got to get all that out of the way and all the fundamentals and all the techniques. You just got to get it all down now. So when the season comes, everything is smooth for you. And what changes when the paths come on? Oh man, it gets physical. You know, guys get the chirp in, it gets really physical. Especially when the heat is out, you know, guys get after it. Just be careful, be specifically locked in today because guys are excited about the pads you had a day off yesterday. What's the challenge of getting locked in quickly? Honestly, we just got to come out here every day locked in regardless if we have pads or not. It doesn't change our mindset. It just changes the fact that we just got to get banging a little bit. For you, how much did you look forward to this opportunity to prove what you can do? Man, I look forward to every day out here because I got to come out here and carve a roll out for myself. Nothing is sweet out here, nothing is handed to me, so I just got to get out there every day. What, in terms of the defensive aspect of things, we all know what you do special teams-wise, but you found a little niche there last year. Do you have to find the same niche? Do you carve out a different niche? You know, I just try to come out here every day and get better, whether that's on the field or, you know, this year I'm trying to focus mentally. And with my leadership role, just getting the young guys ready to go after it, especially in special teams. You know, guys coming from college, not. Special teams isn't really too big of a deal in college, but in the league, it matters. There's a lot made of the guys, quote, unquote, in front of you at your position defensively. Oh, for sure. How much do you, you know, have confidence that you will find a roll right there alongside them? Oh, man, when I got here last year, they found a roll for me. You know, I just got to come out here and practice each and every day and go hard as hard as I can every day. So as long as I keep doing that, I know this coach is going to find a way to put me on the field.
