 Obviously, you guys adding clowny over the weekend. He does so many different things across the defense, wondering who gets to spend time with him once he's available to you guys, how that works with splitting up in the meeting rooms. Well, he'll be working with the outside linebackers. So he'll be working with Shane and Matt Edwards. So he'll spend most of the time with those two. And just another question for you about Will Compton adding some depth for the inside linebacking room. Obviously, somebody you're familiar with from your time in Washington, where is he, I guess, right now as a player? And what did you see throughout whatever limited time he had in training camp that showed you that he could still perform at a high level? Well, Will's a very instinctive guy. I signed him out of Nebraska as a free agent back in Washington and really smart, understands the game, has a love for the game. Obviously, he does his little podcast. You can tell he enjoys life. It's fun to be around him, but he takes football serious. I've got one here for you, coach. Denver has a number of talented skill players on offense. So the challenge of not having preseason, what's the challenge of game planning for those guys without any preseason tape to go off of? Well, I always think that's an issue, because you're really not sure about some of the players they have that you just drafted. You looked at them in college tape. So you have a pretty good understanding. Obviously, the first round picks a talented guy. Not sure how they're going to use everybody. So I mean, that's always the other challenge, especially not playing the preseason games. But it works two ways. So I think when it comes down to it, the people that tackle the best and do all those other little things right will probably win the game. Rex, right? Hey, Jim, sorry for another question on a guy who isn't necessarily in your room, or specifically your position, but on clowning, what kind of impact does a player like that bring to the rest of the defense? And even in terms of putting different guys on the field together in different packages, things like that? Well, I think past rushers make a big difference in this league. And probably the number one thing you're looking for in defense. And that's the impact he'll make on this team. I mean, he's another moving part that's a talented player has done it over the long haul. And it gives us another weapon on the defensive side. And I know the DBs and the linebackers are glad we have them. And we get everybody on the field that we have. We believe that if we play the way we're supposed to capable of, we can play at a high level. Thank you. Yeah, coach. With David Long, he appears to, at least when we're watching him out there on the practice field, he appears to be very active, very vocal, very communicative with his teammates. How much does that help him when you're seeing him out there in live reps or, I guess, not live reps? But how much do you appreciate that aspect of his game? Well, I think Dave has done a great job. I think he's really improved since we've been here. I think he's taken his game up and elevated it. He's very, very instinctive. Has a good feel for the game, good pass rusher. And brings a lot of skills to the table. And I don't think anybody's afraid to put him on the field and let him play. So the more players you have, the better team you'll have. And I think David kind of fits in that mode. With Rashon, it seems like, at least last year, watching you guys on defense, he seems to be able to do so many different things in a way that kind of obviously versatility is something that you guys impress upon as being hugely important. But just from a perspective of an inside linebacker's coach, how much does he help the rest of the defense around him just because he is able to do so many of those things that he's asked? Well, we ask him to do a lot of different things. And Rush, the cover aspect of it, he's becoming more of a leader. He's very vocal. And I think he's done a great job up to this point. And I continue to do it the rest of the year. He's a guy that's very talented, plays hard, has a love for the game. And he's the kind of guy you like to surround yourself with. Appreciate your coach. OK. Taran? Yeah, how's it going, coach? We talked back in March or April a little bit about how you're getting to know the players and overcoming some of the gaps as far as the different background gaps. We'll put it that way. How has that process continued to work out for you as you've gotten on the field and been able to work with these guys? Well, obviously, spending time with them in person and not through a Zoom meeting, you get to understand all the little things, not just the football part of it, but all the little things about their life, how they react, how they learn, how they function on the field. So it's been, it's quick because we didn't have a lot of time together, but I'm enjoying it. And I think the guys, they're really into it. The meetings have been great on the field. They've been doing a nice job on the field. And we just hope we continue that through the career or through the year. And then with Dean Pease having retired him, he was like the OG of the coaching staff. And you settle into that role now. One of the things that he would always, OG, yeah, that's a good thing. You don't have to roll. It's good. He would always talk to the guys and offer tip sheets with them. Is that something that you do with your linebackers, just like extensive tip sheets? Just giving them things to pick up on? Well, I played the game. I played linebacker and I coached it for a long time. And then being a, you know, a coordinator, head coach, I see things a little bit different. So I kind of teach the way that I would want to be coached and how I would want to be, how I would learn. So, you know, I think having the background of being a next player, I think that helps in the business because I was out there and I did it. I can give them pointers on how I saw things and all that stuff. So is it safe to say that you're heavily involved with the game plan, like being put together? I think everybody's heavily involved. You know, our whole staff is heavily involved in the game plan, including the head coach. So it will all be as a staff on the same page when the game comes up. Thank you. And look up OG in the Urban Dictionary. You'll like it. You got it. Jim? Yeah, are we good? Coach, I got one more for you here. Thanks for holding on. Will Compton, in addition, since the last time we've talked to you, what do you think about him and did you see him first or hear him first? Well, here's the deal with Will. I signed Will as a free agent when I was with the Redskins. So I had Will for a few years there, you know, kept up with him, you know, understand what he's been doing on and off the field. We got a great relationship. I think he's a guy that loves football, plays hard, very instinctive, takes, learns things fast. So it's been a good second coming with him so far. Did he have a big personality then, or has he kind of grown there since you were first with him? Yeah, he's kind of grown into it. But, yeah, he's a heck of a guy and a heck of a football player. Does he ask you to be on this podcast? Well, yeah, we've talked about it, but I don't know about that. What's, and I've asked all the guys, all the coaches, yes, but as far as you're obviously a teacher and trying to teach technique and also make sure guys are what they're supposed to be about, what do you motivate guys during the course of the week to try to get even more out of them? I think you try to do all those things. You're a teacher. You want them to suck everything in. They can. You try to, their learning process is different. Everybody's different. So one guy does not learn like the other guy, and you've got to kind of figure which way they learn. Some people learn through walkthroughs. Some learn in classrooms. I can walk down the hall with a few of these guys, and we can talk it over, and they can walk on the field and do it. So everybody learns different. You got to get, and that's the part you missed in the off season. But everything else kind of falls into place from my perspective. Do you feel like you were able to get everything you wanted to get everything accomplished that you wanted to during camp, knowing you didn't have many camps and OTAs? Well, you would have liked to have a pre-season game here and there, but the whole league says the same thing. But colleges don't do it. They line up, and they play. And that's what the NFL is going to do. Everybody's in the same boat. So we're going to go out there and try to do our best. And we're going to try to minimize mistakes, do a great job tackling, run to the fall ball, and hopefully get a lot of turnovers, and win a bunch of games. You've been able to see the city since you've been here? You've pretty much been at work all the time. I've seen the city a few times. Not now. I have been working since I've been in town, but I've been to Nashville a few times. It's a great place. A lot of good things going on in the city. It's one of the biggest growing cities in the United States. And it's a great place to be right now.
