 to get on the first day of practice and getting out there. I know y'all got a lot of work to do, but this is the start of it. How are you feeling getting back out there today? I feel good being back out there today. Missed being on that field. It's fun, you know, being under a new regime and, you know, prove myself again for these coaches and this staff and just showing what I can do for the team. Everything coming together with the new coordinator, and I know it's just the beginning, but just, you know, the defense, a lot of people want to see what the defense is going to do this year. Yeah, it's coming together good. You know, it's definitely a process, you know, when you're learning a new defense. But we've got some excited things up, and we've got some great players to go do it and some great coaches to get it done. So we put in that work day in and day out to put a good defense on the field. What are the differences, maybe in tempo and tone, first day out there, what do you go practice with? You know, we always, you know, try to practice with a fast tempo around here. But, you know, Coach Smith do a good job of having teach tempo and fast tempo and getting the most out of the guys and, you know, not driving us all the way to the ground, but when it's go time, it's go time, you know, it's just straight relentless. So he do a good job of switching it up. I'm still learning. I'm still learning. You know, that's my first year with Coach Smith, and, you know, but I trust him with the process. He got going forward, going forward, and I'm gonna go all in about it. Process? Yeah, it looked like you were wearing a mask, at least, for a little bit on the field there. What was the reason behind that? Just in the process, you know, process getting things where I got to get done, you know, to have a good season and be here for the team. When you say get things done, yeah, yep, yep, it's obvious. Yes, sir. What's the next question? He coming along good. Yep, yeah, Marlon looked good, man. He's finally healthy and, you know, he looked quick out there one-on-ones and excited. You know, Marlon, you know, he had a fireball, the defensive line, bringing that energy. He making fun for us and, you know, love playing with him. I can't wait to see him get that full season under him. You know, he had some rough runs last year with injuries and other things. So, but definitely excited for him, expecting a big year for Marlon. Been awesome, been awesome. Learning under Coach P is a legend, man. And so the multiple looks that we have or, you know, whatever, you know, we may have up this week this week. So I'm excited, man. This gives a new aspect of playing, you know, defense for me, you know. And so it's like a breath of fresh air and excited to learn as much as I can to ins and out of the defense to find out where my opportunities are to have success. And as for the team to have success as well. So it's been fun. But what is your expectation for yourself in this camp and in this season? Well, you know me, like I said in the spring, you know, I prepare every day to be, you know, to be the best defender I can as the best, try to be the best defender league, you know. And I believe in myself, my abilities. And I know that my best football is still ahead of me. You know, I'm looking forward to making it back to the playoffs, compete for a championship on a personal level, make another pro bowl, first team all pro, put my best foot forward all in all the time and I'm gonna let the rest of the care of itself. If you go into a sequel to like a certain number of sacks that you wanna get or if you have a goal that you would like to reach? You know, you always have a goal, you know, as a, as a premier three technique, always try to get above 10, you know, I haven't done it yet, but I feel like it's out there for me. You know, getting QB hits, pressure's always been top top but definitely just finishing on the quarterback this year, man, something that I'm super, super excited about. And you know, just put my best foot forward. Like I say, I feel like it's a real good year for me coming up. You said when it's a new guy running things? Um, I mean, it don't start out here on the field, you know, I mean, we started back in the spring, you know, virtual meetings, you know, you, it's a recent relationship base. Anything you do is relationship based and more time you spend with somebody you learn them. So obviously new coach is gonna be some new vibes, you know, but new is not always bad, you know what I'm saying? So I think it's good to have a breath of fresh air around here, but you know, Coach Smith got a, he got a way he wanna run a program and we gotta buy in as players. We gotta go all in and put our best foot forward. Whether it's the messaging of the five, what is anything that stood out to you so far? I mean, one is deeper than the message. Just about putting that product on the field, putting that work in, you know, he made it clear that, you know, we're not gonna be bad about, you know, slogans and all this, whatever it may be. The best player gonna play, you know, the toughest dude gonna play and ain't no fluff, you know, he gonna try to get the best out of everybody day in and day out and I can't do nothing but respect it. I love that battle. First day of training camp is always a lot of enthusiasm, you know, first day just getting back out on the field. You've been through a few of these training camps down the first day. How does this one compare since you were drafted and how each one's probably unique in their own way? You said it, man, each one is unique. Each one is unique. Every year you're going with a fresh mindset, you know, renewing out of mind, man. For me, it's like I've tried to go in like it's my first one every time, you know, not just, you know, it is my seventh one. Blessed to be able to enter a seventh training camp, but I gotta put my body and my mind in a space to where, you know, it's new to me. I come out like I don't know nothing, you know. I gotta put myself every day. So it's a, it's just a, you know, it's a new year, like every year. So I'm excited, you know, just put my bare foot forward, controlling what I can and pushing my body to that uncomfortable place. Grady, you were talking before about how you think 10 sacks, double duty sacks, is that what they're for you? What in this defense that you've seen so far tells you that that's an opportunity that can be there? Please, beginning. What have you seen out of this defense, this scheme that tells you that that's a reasonable goal? Oh, you know, definitely just putting guys in the right position to have success. And given, you know, whether it's, you know, different looks or what, you know, people are gonna be guessing about what we're doing, but at the end of the day, we're gonna stick to our core values, you know. So I just feel good about it. I feel good about it. And I know we're gonna be able to give people hell.
