 Yeah, I mean, we kind of treat it like a sudden change, you know, sometimes offense is out there turn over happens The defense guys go out there and then vice versa So yeah, it was good. Do a change up came outside I thought we're gonna be in the rain went back inside and still has some great work I'm loving the communication right now guys are talking all three all three levels every single group that's out there is Communicating our safety group and DB group are doing a great job with understanding what co-terrorist is trying to teach us and Very personal I mean me and KB like you say we would think you're the quarterbacks We feel like we're the quarterbacks of the defense. So when we go out there, we got to make sure that guys, you know They trust us. They trust what we say and if we see something we try to help them out You know, they listen to us, which is good It's like it's almost like a way the relay of How do you guys get to a point where that's done clear and I will only we'll know it We'll have a test when we could come to the game day and the crowds going loud and we can't physically or we can't physically Hear each other when we just kind of have that that communication where we might not be able to hear the call But you have to understand that this is a game plan and that's what we're doing One of the guys From your vantage point in the back and how it's his Presence now that he's going to be back for you guys. How is his imprint felt? I mean you you can feel it I mean you can tell by the quarterbacks clock is it's it's running whenever he's in the game You can just feel his energy He's making plays and the run game in the past game Whenever Harold's out there, you know, we're a lot better as a defense When you've got Arvin key on that other side, what's he seems to be bringing to that front as well Another player that makes plays playmaker. He's a high-energy player high-effort player I mean ever since he's got here. He's energies from 6 a.m. Until we leave the building So he's a guy that we definitely needed and he's gonna help us out a lot I think confidence, I mean he he's going into year four I think for him so his confidence is high He's he's played against best receivers in the league So he understands his capabilities and he's applying it into the game to camp so far Do you ever kind of sit back and say how cool this is to have a guy that you played with for a while now And how you guys can continue to push yourself like what's that like? Yeah, I mean I mean I just feel like I try and think about it when I was a kid and Picture myself in the situation and I'm in a great situation And I'm very blessed to have a great teammate like KB and to be going into my fifth year and my fifth year being his teammate I mean it's awesome. I can't have asked for anything better and we just got to go out there and put it to the field I mean just when I go in for a talk, maybe keep my head up a little more instead of going in and head down Um, I mean sometimes it just happens you get hit in the right spot It might not take a lot to to you know cause a concussion But I mean I'm gonna still be aggressive. Um, just you know, keep my head up a little more on the tackles Energy confidence guys are believing in themselves. Um, even if it's a bad day Um, it's still gonna be a good day because we can learn from those mistakes You know, if someone makes a mistake everyone in the room should learn from the correction That coach Harris is making to that one player. So it's not a repeated mistake after over and over again In year five of training camp as opposed to what you were like a year, a year one or two What's easier in or harder or when you try to accomplish more? Um, I feel like I've seen a lot of things. Um, I understand when offenses come out in certain formations I'm able to to break it down to one or two things they can do maybe when I was a rookie I was like they could probably do anything. You know, I mean my eyes are wide I'm just just trying to be in the right position But now I'm trying to not just be in the right position for myself, but help others out as well Amani that experience help, uh, you know Fantasy football, you know, social media makes it so easy for fans to weigh in if you know, if a player has a good game Or a bad play, uh, how do you handle it when you know when you get that kind of intense focus sometimes? When they're coming after you, um, I mean at the end of the day, you just got to focus on the team I mean all the outside stuff, um, doesn't really matter and then if you know when you're in the game and The clock's running and the ball's coming your way You've got to make sure that all the things you practice all the things that the coach have You know taught you and and put a lot of pressure on you for that you can stay calm and just Is being in the right position and when the play comes you make the play But during the week when you know, it's you know the quiet time, you know You're away from practice or something like that Does it feel sometimes like you're just a piece of meat and they're going after you? I mean, maybe maybe a little bit, but I mean, I don't let it get to me There's just I mean if I was a fan doing and I didn't play I'd probably be the same way So I can't get upset about it. That's just comes with the game and that's what part of being a professional is He said as a defense, how's that I mean that's we don't want them to to be able to run the ball Because now they opens up the pass game. So as a defense, that's the main thing We got to do is stop the run try and make the offense one dimensional So then we can then we can take away a receiver who possibly could win the game for them So you feel the run game sets up the pass game? I think the run game sets up That's when the the play action fakes come and that's when the linebackers come up And then that's when they get the the digs and the dig in routes coming in behind them And that's when you can get big plays I mean we enjoy it because every game feels like it's a one-score game I mean every game whether it's halftime or right before the end of the game It's a two-minute situation. It's a one-score game and those are times when you can that's when you lose the game I won't say that we win the game on on two minutes You either going to lose the game if one guy makes a mistake We're going to lose the game But as far as the defense, you know, we want to get on it early before the season starts So we're not trying to scramble come to first game or come week the week three or five week three or four Thanks And you're trying to go outside and there was the lightning and you have to make quick transition Is that something that can feed over of you know into the season someday? Well, we'd like to get to work in I mean you can't recreate some of these situations and the opportunity to practice In different conditions and I'm pretty sure that there'll be Games that we'll have to play in the rain or the snow or the heat and whatever it may be and so You know, we try to go out and then be safe as possible and then You know credit to Joey his staff and all the interns and the trainers and Todd and his staff and the interns that are able to To get everything moved in there and you know, it's pretty impressive Well, man, we've got a pretty effective running back and You know again, there's A lot of ways to win and we feel like that that's certainly an opportunity to to establish Not only an identity but also You know the ability to open things up and in different opportunities passing game and screens and keepers and You know, so that's Kind of where we've been and it you know Again, you can't rely on it all the time. There's times where you're gonna have to be Going a different direction based on how the game's going and but you know, certainly One of our better players is is our is Derek is our running back and you know, that would be how you would try to formulate a game plan is to To get your best players the ball Well, it takes its toll I think that there's an ability to To win the fourth quarter, you know and the cumulative effect and you know Three or four yard gains and you know get guys running You know chasing the ball and again it wears them down. There's not Usually teams have you know, five or six defensive linemen. Maybe that does and Sometimes it's taking a toll on teams and sometimes it hasn't if we're not effective enough, but You know and then the ability to to mix plays and play actions off of it Maybe what you saw two minutes Two minutes today, especially maybe on the defensive side I mean it looked like they walked the ball down there with the first group and then Kind of stalled when you need a touchdown. Those are tough and I called a sack and that's the decision I made and then I wasn't able to put it in the end zone and then Just looking for you know early on operation speed and making sure guys are You know where they're supposed to be running routes getting the communication from the quarterback So that'll really ramp up and we'll continue to do that. I would say most every day that we come out in practice. So I mean I gotta tell these guys it's like it's like it's like golfing every putt's going to make somebody happy You know make it somebody's going to be happy miss it. The other guy's happy. It's like All right defense one time offense another. I don't know what to tell you Mr. Marcos block Gibbons fair game I don't know what that means. What's fair game? I don't I don't use those type of turns No, I don't that's we're not you know want to practice like that and be a penalty in the game That's two two times that he's disappeared from practice early. Is he hurting his chances? Well, man, I think you have to just know how to practice or we talk all the time about being competitive and going to that line and I'm certainly not going to do anything that hurts the team. We don't want to see that Probably have to ask the players. I'm not the ones out there doing it There is a comfort, you know, I mean they make all the checks and that's we've taken those guys out of there at times just to say You know, let these other guys figure it out and you know, they're going to be games where You know, maybe those guys aren't in there and force some other guys to make communication but You know, there there is a comfort level With those guys back there the way they communicate and their ability to to do different things and execute all the different techniques Well, I don't think it's you know, it does us any good to go back and say where Malik was or how far he's come I think that he's competing. I think he's Much more comfortable. I see a much more confident player And therefore It's easier to coach him. I think that's been the thing here It's just been easier to coach him because he does have Just a greater knowledge and understanding your comfort level and and there's mistakes like every other player, but It's been easy. I think to coach him because he kind of knows maybe before You know, you bring something up or You know, even ball security when he's scrambling and he's trying to leave the pocket and making sure that there's two hands on the football or whatever it may be so um Not really focused on on where he was focused on where he's at now and and making corrections and continuing to improve and you know Through went in there stood in there today. I mean Got the center and the nose guard and the running back stand them on his lap and he You know flicks it in there to racy and you know a tight window and Had to put some steam on it to josh who made a great catch So there's going to be a lot of a lot of things that are positive and there'll be some things that That tim and and and charles would get cleaned up Weight that he put on this off season. Is that strictly a durability thing or is that something that you see showing up in his play? I mean, it's a violent game. His guys are you know working on the middle part of the field and You know, so if that can help him stay durable and be strong and You know help him out. I don't think it's affected his quickness In his ability to to get in and out of cuts You were gesturing that you were going to give the whistle to some of the defensive guys That being funny but sending a message to that. You don't want to hear so much from them about results of plays or No, just my way of having a conversation with them and you know, everybody's into practice and it's spirited and You know, they give it to me. I try to give it back to him Money was saying that today was A good mental test for the rest of the players, you know starting outside and going inside He likened it to a sudden change Yeah, the the distractions. I mean, they're all over the place plenty of distractions how we handle them You know, we can't eliminate them We've proven that Year in year out weekend week out. There's going to be something it says how we handle them and and how we can Focus on what where we're going next and and what's what's neat what's needed to be done next and so Maybe that's difficult for younger players and you know talking about it, you know Having your knees bent and your head on a swivel things come up and we adjust to them Knowing the guy the disease is off the field very mild manner of reserved kind of guy Do you ever get surprised when you see the passion and fire that he practices and plays with? Probably not. I mean, I think that that's That's cool to see that, you know, again He's he's always kind of had that and that's You know what he thinks his edge is and it's certainly served him well up until now and You know being undrafted and he go back and tell those stories of Coming in there and having a chip on his shoulder and and always trying to have something to prove so I appreciate it Is that pretty rare in your experience for a receiver to be able to Run and never show Get winded It's just I mean, it's a good skill to have I mean, but also he's not just a you know, he he still can run you know, I look When we send him deep or through the middle part of the field he can run and He knows all the positions that the wide receiver and also, you know, working hard at special teams. So Rare, I don't know. I mean a professional athlete said, you know, when you're a receiver Hopefully you can run fast for extended periods of time I was talking about Traylon's now learning another position at receiver How much does that help a guy's value when he can learn the other side? Well, once he does that then then you're able to move him around a little bit You know, timmy can put him into different formations and say you're the x or the z and They think that's probably gonna You know help them and there'll be maybe some new learning and some new installation, but uh I think in the long run if we can stick with it I think it's just going to help them allow us to move them around based on You know the formation that comes in Yeah, thank you, you know, again, he goes in and he To this point in time. I think has responded well to the work that we've had and Hasn't had any setbacks and conditioning looks good and Continuing to add add reps and plays to his practice each day Say something that hasn't needed well they get one every two days. Everybody gets Yeah, and it isn't I think I do appreciate You know their attitude and their willingness to come together and communicate help each other You know, but also understand that when they go out there They've got a job to do and that's to compete and it's to help the team and to help their situation and I think it's just a testament to them and who they are at the position and knowing whether You know, whatever they're called to go in there. They have to go in there Finishing again coming in for the starter. Do you coach it differently with young guys right now battling for that backup spot? Yeah, I think probably it's going to be You know right now. This is developmental. This is competition. This is you guys are you know Trying to go earn a starting job And and we probably haven't gotten to that point where Because they are getting you know, we're trying to make sure that the reps are even and trying to make sure We know when the season comes that you know, some of those reps aren't You know with the offense that they don't get as many of those and The preparation is probably a little different. So we're not there yet And so we're just trying to let them go and and give them opportunities to go compete What was the reason for bringing him in this late camp for this point? Jimmy's played in the league and smart guy and You know with that willingness to to one, you know, we got three quarterbacks. And so You'd like to have three lines because the more When that deteriorates Then somebody's taken more reps and then more reps leads to potential injury. And so I really want to Rep these quarterbacks and give them an opportunity and so we needed kind of another body and Jimmy came in worked out and did a nice job Thanks guys That was good work, you know, you never know There's gonna be a few games a year that that have potential rain or do rain So it was good work, you know, we were able to come get some individual in Get some throws in the rain, which was good. I thought QB center working that that wetball drill You know working working throwing some some movement into the into the rain, which is good, you know, so thankful we got that work Well, I don't know. I mean, I think it's a big part of what we've done here and You know, you want to compliment what you're doing in the run game and and take advantage of holes that are created so, you know, we try to do that and You know, it's been successful Chicken or the egg, you know, I think it it works together You know, the the more multiple you can be the more you can play off of each other It's going to compliment both sides. What's Chris Moore bringing to the receiver group? He's a veteran guy. He's done done a great job for us so far, you know coming in in the spring You know been in a similar system before so I've been able to to get accustomed to that pretty quickly He understands what we're trying to accomplish and how we're trying to accomplish it He brings some speed some athleticism some juice to the outside, which is definitely good to have Oh, definitely, you know, some guys some guys you notice, um You know after a couple long routes that all right, they might not have the same same juice But you know Chris he's the energizer bunny. He just keeps going all day The defense was able to rake a few more balls maybe than you would like out in in the sessions today What do you say to your guys after the after seeing the film with those situations? Yeah, we just got to go out and compete. Obviously As a team, you know, you like to see defense playing well and having tight coverage But as an offense, um, we want to be able to put those balls in good spots And then have have strong hands and be able to to come down with those so Step back and look at it as a team, you know, it's a good thing but as an offense as a competitor Hey, we got to go out. We got to compete. There's going to be plays each game that you know Are like that where it's tight coverage and we're trying to fit the ball in there and um Defender may have a hand in there and and the more plays that we can make and come down with then uh, the more successful we're going to be Yeah, they're working just like everyone else, you know, you see uh, you see guys stepping in kind of battling it out up front and I've seen some really good things, you know, we've done some really good things in the run game Pass protection has been improved. I think and and so those are all all good things, you know, we just have to keep Growing those guys together as a unit keep gelling, you know, because It plays off of each other so much. It's not five guys, you know on individual islands, you know Those guys have to be able to it's a play together Just like you know receivers and and quarterback, you know They have to be able to work with the guys to the left to the right of them in the run game and in the passing too early in camp to be that concerned about the passing protection some of those runs I had early on I mean, yeah, we're we're five days in or you know, five or six practices in so Um, you know a lot of work still to be done You know, I don't think in any aspect of our team is is where it should be or where we want it to be You know, we're going to keep foot on the gas and and keep going, you know, I think There's a lot of a lot of training camp left and a lot of practices We have left a lot of time in the meeting room we have left So I've got to take advantage of of every day keep the foot on the gas and keep improving I actually didn't see it I was talking to one of our receivers and turned around and kind of saw the end of it Saw the talking that was going on. So I can't I can't get my opinion on that Yeah, we're talking a lot, you know, we had learning reps today out there You know, there's a couple reps where Where we had to talk talk after the play, you know, one of them being being on that fourth downplay down in the two minutes So, um You know, that's going to be a process right as he comes in gets accustomed to it's what we're doing I get used to him, you know, there's going to be some some growing reps that we have where we got to learn from them And now I feel confident. We're presented that that same situation that we're going to be on the same page you know, so excited about about how we are growing together, but There's going to continue to be some reps like that where hey, you know, we're just a little off and You know, we'll be able to to grow from it learn from it and hit it the next time The trend that it seems like that that innate Converse communication between the two of you is really starting to develop that you he knows where you want him to be And you know that he's going to be there at the right time. How how you feel like that's development Yeah, Trayla's done a great job. You know going back to the spring coming in working And now now just kind of switching positions and Learning the other side and being able to move around a little bit I think the more we can move our guys around the better it's going to You know make our offense so excited about how he's worked how he's progressed not only As an individual but within this offense and and how he's going to help us You know move the ball and squirt touchdowns on Sundays They kind of solidified who those five guys are going to be so as you said they can come together and gel as opposed to moving guys The earlier the better but at the end of the day, we just have to be ready to go week one, you know, obviously You were here to improve each and every each and every day and at the end of the day, it's all prepping for the regular season and so When that time comes week one, we need to be ready to roll What have you learned about I've enjoyed getting to know tim you you know on another level over the course of this year Obviously a smart individual has some great ideas some great thoughts. I think he's he's done a great job of Of communicating his thoughts over to the offense teaching those getting everyone on the same page and bringing some energy every day So excited to uh to have him as our roc and and look forward to working with him throughout this year The audrey said the key to getting to know your quarterback is hanging out with them off the field So have you guys done any hanging out off the field yet? And what where do you have your eyes on on taking the national? um Yeah, I don't know where I should take him. Uh, there's a bunch of good spots here in national I've got a bunch of good restaurants that uh that we like going to so Definitely we'll spend some time together, you know, um a little bit tough right now in the thick of training camp But yeah, we'll definitely spend some time together and uh, you know Spending as much time with them in the building and just making sure we get on the same page as we can I definitely play a big big pardon, you know, I think uh being able to communicate clearly what we're looking for How we see it How we're trying to attack how we're adjusting routes versus different coverages You know before practice and then Um Within the practice, you know, how we're how we're seeing it and then even post practice Maybe they weren't in on the rep but being able to communicate. Hey to the room So everyone sees it and everyone's on the same page Well, I don't know the exact stats, but a ton of games come down to to the last drive each and every year Um, you know, we've been able to win a lot of games on on two minute drives and Put ourselves in positions to win a lot of games in two minute drives So it's going to be a big Factor for us this year and I'm going to start getting that work getting that work now I know I thought we did some good things that two minutes just weren't able to finish You know down inside the inside the red zone. So Got any of kudos to the defense but you know confident that we can grow from that some learning reps that we like I talked about with some of the guys down there and I'll be able to be better for it The new offense and how that's coming along you guys have to call it day yesterday How did that go getting you know getting the plate call in with the new terminology and all that? That was good. It was good. You know, we were able to uh to get a little bit of Of play clock work. Um, so you know, it's not exactly like a game, but um Got some work with that, you know getting to line a scrimmage being able to have that as a factor was really good Getting the play calls in was was great You know excited that we were able to get that that call it call it work because that's what What the games are and so you get that that work. It's more live than anything No, I feel really good. I feel really good, uh, you know, thankful that I feel really good, you know coming off the uh Off the surgery last year, you know, obviously you never really know how that's gonna how that's gonna turn out you want it you want it to be great and You know, there's a lot of a lot of work that goes into that and thankful that I'm at where I'm at and feel like The ankle is a hundred percent and and never never happened. So, um, yeah Now that I had my birthday I'm older. Um, but yeah, I'm uh, I'm excited where I'm at physically and uh, You know look for it's uh, let's keep going Yeah, you know no question, you know, I think uh Uh, I'm young at heart and I feel young and you know, I don't have the the cane yet. So I'm good Yeah, no doubt he's come in and done a great job for us, you know, we're moving around getting him different rules Obviously he's got a different skill set than derrick and that's a great thing for our for our team. So He's been he's been a weapon for us so far and you know excited to keep building on what he can do How'd you come to wear number 17 and how attached to you are? I'm doing the story on numbers um, so I first wore 17 my my sophomore year of high school um I don't exactly know why I chose 17 but uh chose 17 And uh, you know, I've loved it loved it ever since so I wish I had a better story for you on on why I chose 17 um My dad wore 10 and so I wanted to be number 10 10 wasn't available. It was a senior that was in 10 So I chose 17 then my junior and senior year I wore 10 and then I got to an m Went back to 17. So, uh, I don't have a great story for you there, but uh, that's how it went What's tough for throwing in the rain or flying in the rain? Uh, um You know, as long as it's a light rain flying flying's all right, you know, there's a lot of Things that aren't all right with with thunderstorms and things like that with flying but uh, you know, I don't mind I don't mind throwing in the rain. Like I said, good work. Good work out here today and uh, You know either one, uh, as long as it's light, it's not too bad But have you over your career had a teammate or somebody that was just absolutely terrified of being in a plane and White knuckleed in through a trip. Yeah, no question. There's been some guys over the years Especially, you know, you hit some turbulence everyone else is joking around and They're not they're in a full sweat and gripping the uh, the armrest and seat belt Tighten down as tight as it can go and and you know the blank look on the face. So, um, You know, you feel for those guys whenever they get in those situations. Um, thankfully, we'll see how these rookies are I haven't flown with them yet
