 I got one on Laurel and one on Jeffery Simmons, I guess as far as as far as March goes, what's kind of big in his development, what's been big in his development this off season and how much better equipped should it be for the year after maybe having a whole off season? You know what I think, I mean really for him and like most of the guys just getting bigger and stronger in the weight room with Frank and really just learning and enhancing our techniques as best as we can during these times. I mean we get a lot of individual work and he's doing really good in those individual drills so looking forward to seeing what he looks like when we put pads on and train again. What's to say about Jeffery? I know this is a time of a year when you don't necessarily have to be there but Jeffery's been out there every day wearing the football pants, it's like he's been working hard. You know all about his commitment, is it kind of speaking even more about what he's about and how you like to see him this off season? I mean honestly Jim, I think the guy cares about the football team and I mean that's really why he's out there and like you said he doesn't have to be out there just like most of the guys don't. I mean it's voluntary but he's out there working his butt off and trying to do the things that we're asking him to do to get better so it's exciting to watch him. Emily? Yeah coach Jeffery Simmons told us last week that he it's kind of changed his diet around and slimmed down a little bit. I'm going to be honest looking at him he just looks like a gigantic human being so from your perspective somebody that works with him all the time do you see a difference in his physique in the way he's able to use his body? I mean I don't know about his physique I think that I think that he's always been a guy that's been in really good shape and you know he came in when it was time for him to show up and he's in really good shape right now and I think he'll continue to do that and like I said to Jim it's important to him the team's important to him so that's kind of how he prepares like the team's important to him and and he wants to get better. Joe Retra? Hey coach I'm sorry I missed the very beginning here but um Danico what what is what does he bring what do you think he'll bring and what kind of a you know partnership could he and Jeff have inside there? I mean he brings NFL experience I mean he's been a starter he's played in multiple schemes you know he can do a do a lot of different things from a football standpoint and the thing I like most about him I was in Oakland I was the his position coach in 2000 I think it was 14 when we brought him in as an undrafted free agent in the same draft classes Khalil Mack and Justin Ellis that plays for for Baltimore and Shelby Harris from from the Denver Broncos and Nico was the only one not drafted out of that class but thing I liked about him then and I like about him now is he's all business works his butt off and he's willing to do whatever we ask him to do so I'm excited to get back with him. John Glennon? One um all right yeah okay um yeah one question was uh tier tart you know things then you know looks to uh you know maybe get get a number of snaps this year what did you see from him last year in terms of progress and at the same time you know what what's he need if he's gonna you know get even more snaps and then playing time in the coming year? I mean not only our rookies but um every rookie around the league that came in last year um you know they they were at a disadvantage because they didn't have the off-season program and training camp was different than get to play games so um you know I think with tart obviously he wouldn't be here if we didn't see the the talent in the guy um really the biggest thing for me is just um just having him just continue to to develop from a strength standpoint from from a learning standpoint and and again he's another guy that I'm really excited about to see what he does in and in training camp and he's had really a good off-season program and um and when when he did get in there I thought uh a year ago I thought he did some good things so really excited about him. I wonder if I could tell us one follow at you also um I'm sure I'm gonna butcher his name but uh Kenichi Udize you know what uh what kind of guy is he and and you know what what's he brought um you know to the to the d-line room and and to yourself? Uh yeah and that's uh Kenichi Udize you could just call him KU um but he he's a guy that I've known um over the years it's funny because where we grew up not far um away from each other in south central Los Angeles um and then over the years um got to know him as a as a coach and and um what he does is he brings bring some experience from a coaching standpoint and from a from a player standpoint um and and I love love the guy love his story and um again he's done a good job with our with our players and blended in with our staff so far. Uh Terry? Coach uh Avery Jones was a guy that you guys kind of brought in a little bit under the radar what kind of things does he bring as a veteran player to this to this defense squad? Experience I mean he's been in the been in the battles um you know again it's it's hard to say with any of those guys especially a guy that just showed up uh last week um exactly what he's gonna bring without really getting to watch him um go full speed but again based on his uh history he's at least played um in this division and played in some meaningful NFL games so um you know again I'm looking forward to watching him compete as well in the in the um in the fall. Uh Taran? Hey what's up coach Williams uh looking at at the Royal Merchants what are some of the things that you're expecting from him as far as that next step is concerned? Really um Taran really just getting continuing to get better I mean I thought I know he didn't play much um last year and um you know I don't know if you were on here before but I kind of mentioned with with Tarte and with the rookies just in general um it's difficult for these defensive linemen to come in and not have not have training or they had training camp um but not have the pre-season games um you know and he was playing behind some uh good players for us so really the biggest thing that I'm looking for is just continued um improvement and just getting bigger and stronger and kind of doing the things that we're looking forward to him um doing for us
