 So about Mike, what's kind of your feel for what he's got going on here? I think one of our coaches, Anthony Levine, said it best. He's like having an OG in the locker room talking to you every day, but he's your head coach. And every time we're in a team meeting, the amount of knowledge he has of the game and the way he's able to detail and teach every position. As a player, you just love that. Even a vet in my age, you still have to be able to get coached like that and hear from somebody that has so much knowledge of the game. You've got a reputation already as being a great locker room guy, a good resource to do anything kind of guy. How much pride in yourself in being that type of player? Yeah, this is my job, this is how I feed my family. So I come in here with that mentality every day. Whatever this team asks of me, that's what I'm here to do. And I just want to help anybody else in the locker room do the same thing, especially with a younger team like this. How much special teams do you play? As much as they need me, so I love special teams. That's how I've been in the league as long as I have. So if they ask me to play special teams, I'm doing everything. What changed for you last year that you were able to be so much more productive as a receiver? Just the opportunities. I feel like I've always been a pretty good receiver and I just had the opportunity to show the rest of the league that I am. So hopefully I just continue to build on that and grow. What are you guys starting out? It's good to see because it shows you that they're out here competing and they're not just happy with where they're at, they're not happy to be here. And they're also not scared that they have a veteran ID hop and older receivers in here. They just want to come out here and compete and show the coaches they can play. So that's what you want from them, for sure. You need to be playing fast, playing physical, playing aggressively week to week. How much of a game are you going to make for everybody? It's going to make me great. He's a great receiver. I already know he's proving in this league. And that's what I'm trying to get to, be a great cornerback. Get to our pro level, the pro goals that he's been to. He's not saying that's what I'm focused on right now, but that's what he's pushing me to. Do you think you guys get into the unit today, especially on the back of us? I feel like we had a great day today. We came with the energy and you got to have that even when it's not sunny outside. We came out raining and we came out with the same attitude that we're going to have all year. We're going to set the tone for everybody on the team, whether it's not just the defense, the offense too. Christian, knowing that here with you guys, what impact does that have on the entire defense, especially you guys on the back end? It's going to be great. I know he's ready to get back out there. We've got a lot of dogs out there on that front line. We're just going to make sure we marinate the Russian coverage. That's going to be the main thing for us, doing our job in the back end. We're going to let them eat. We're going to eat off each other. Yeah, I mean, I guess, you know, I feel like my same self, you know, the same player that I've been. Obviously, I may look bigger, you know, feel, you know, however I may look, whatever. But I mean, I feel like the same player I was, but I'm going to use my physical tools that I've gained over the off-season. You know, I definitely implement them to my game. More so, durability. I mean, last off-season, I was coming out shoulder-seriously. Man, I was trying to gain my weight back. So that kind of played a part going into the season. But I mean, I feel, definitely feel strong. I was able to, you know, work on everything. It's obviously, you know, upper body, lower body, my stamina, all those things. You know, played a part this off-season. The thing we're asking him to do, so he's continually getting better. And those guys are looking to him as a leader. Josh, why I mean, I guess, would be one of those being Iraqi himself. Just give me an idea of what the rest of that room looks like as we click off the page. What whole idea is for everyone to improve every opportunity we have when we come out on the field. And we can see moments of that. And so they're challenging each other. It's a very good group of guys. They like each other. They get along well. They help coach each other. And so it's a competitive room. Everybody's competitive. Everyone wants to play, which is a great thing as a coach. But they help each other. And I think that's the biggest thing. And they're certainly earning each other's trust. They're trusting one another. And they're listening to myself and Tim and what we have planned for them to do. Yep. Apologies if you've been asked this already. But Chig, as a blocker, how have you maybe seen him come along in that department? We saw what he was able to do as a pass catcher last season. What are the things that maybe you guys are hoping that he can take the next step in, maybe in terms of technique of being a blocker? Taking the next step for Chig will be the biggest thing is the fundamentals and techniques. Like you mentioned, it's making sure my hands are tight inside. Because he's fearless. He's going to come off the ball and he's going to go give everything he has in terms of being physical. He's proven that through the course of last season and thus far in pads. The big thing will be continuing to make sure I'm taking the right proper footwork that you may need in a particular play, getting your hands inside and getting your hat in the right place, understanding the concept of each play and where it's going and where he needs to be. So he's continued to work on that. And obviously, nothing's, we're never perfect, but you don't ever reach perfection if you don't strive for it. You know, what I'm going to see back there, but at the end of the day, it's just football, you know, all the teams running past. But for you as an offensive lineman, how much are you able to feed off of running the football? I mean, pretty good deal, you know, I'm getting better at it every day. They emphasize it a lot and, you know, I feel like we work on it a good bit. Overall, is your philosophy to run sets up the pass or the pass sets up the ball? Place called? No. Braves talked about offensive lineman, how tough it is, all the spring you're basically hitting pads and then you get out here and suddenly you've got to take out moving grinds. How long is that adjustable? You start over, I'm a little... Braves talked about how all the spring, CTAs, everything, you guys are hitting pads. And there's not a lot of moving bodies and contact. And then you get out here and all of a sudden it's full go. How long does that take to kind of adjust to it? I mean, you really just got to go and do it. I mean, simply as that, like, you know, you're not wearing them and then you're wearing them. I don't know. Today was the first day that you guys actually had, like, been out in the rain. You got some work in there. What's the difference in mentality going out in practice when you got to deal with the elements? I mean, for me, I love rain. It's like bringing a little bit of Washington to me. That's what I was saying all day this morning, but, you know, we heard some thunder and had to go in, which is understandable, but, you know, I don't mind the rain at all. I like it. What's the secret to playing well in the rain since you lived there? Um, secret? I mean, you just got to be born in it, I guess. I don't know. I don't know. It's just, you know, you play ball outside, you got to learn to deal with whatever the elements decide they're going to do. Yeah, Arden is extremely good player. We were really battling today, going against each other pretty much all day every day. And, you know, he's got amazing, like, just tools that a defensive lineman would want. And, you know, he makes me better. I'm making him better. You know, it's like back and forth all day. Like, it's a war out there. So I appreciate him for, you know, the type of player he is and the juice he brings.
