Described it perfectly general studies major it is I mean you can see like I mean you know the players the guys that are going against me Harold and and bud and weave like they've been here So I know them as rushers, but right now it's not worth even mentioning how they're rushing to pass her What about we were though just coming back healthy and stuff. I mean just even seen him run around What do you think about his we're in a jog through mentality out there? So to be honest with you? It's pressure that's them big. I mean they look great. I guess Harold looks a little slower.  He doesn't see your standard office alignment He doesn't say like we asked him about the position He doesn't say I'm gonna support the five and I really want to be the right time Yeah, he doesn't talk like a guy who determined to win the job Which leads some of us anyway to perceive him as not hungry or determined to live up to his draft slot and stuff I think that's that's probably Putting a little more weight in your job than you probably show when it comes to guys's opinions of what you guys really think, right? Dylan doesn't care what you guys are writing about him. He's He's Dylan the kids from Minnesota Like they they drink at the winter time to hang out their salt of the earth people like Dylan's not he's not me Or I just like loud and obnoxious like Dylan is comes in he works He says exactly what variable wants him to say any boogies He's just staying it off its alignment and because he doesn't say oh, it's the most important thing in my life to me right now It's listen like he works in his effort on the field that I've seen he absolutely cares It was decent I was last little trap question with whoever's next to you It just depends on who it is different guys have different skill sets if your mark was playing next to me learning him a little bit better What is he good at and what is maybe he needs areas or improvement that I can help him out with? whether in combination together or Past pro and what he's good at how he likes to set and stuff like that. I could help him in certain ways With brew brews. He's an athletic individual. He's fast. He's got a he's a strong guy, so This is figuring out who does what well and then working with him that way I mean, you won't know till pads around that kind of like an added layer of responsibility No, I this is I've been doing this for nine years in the same place like I'm any responsibility They give me I'm more than happy to take and I think those guys are responsible for themselves It's not my job to win in the job or make them play well But when we go out there five guys on the left side of line me and whoever my left guard is going to be on starting day Need to be able to know what the strength of weaknesses of each other are He's extremely fast and athletic Oh, it's a lot. I'm just looking forward to picking up. We left off it and keep this thing rolling Nico where can the front for take another step? Well, what do you think you guys have to work on even after all this success you guys have? Just getting better with communicating. It's normal. We had no we got to do and just work on our games and stunts and just be on point Everything this is the time of year people like to have polls and rankings and all that sort of stuff What where do you think this defense can be top 10 top five skies a limit for this defense? Well, I mean, would you be disappointed if it was anything less than? Still got to put working on the field When you look back at last year your way you play what do you like what if some things you think you can even get better at? I mean, I bought in and played my role to my best of my ability Just just work the buy-in and keep being the best teammate. That's all I can do What do you do at this stage of your career to get better?  You just keep kind of improving on what you do Just trying to stay in shape change up my workouts change over the crossfit, you know boxing a little bit Just trying to stay in shape most I can do Weekly weekly, you know every day a week Oh a lot the distance is a lot Just with Rob Mathis we just work our hands with pass rush and I just kind of bought into boxing Just play books learning plays No one would be just you know getting used to being back on the field I think we're at a great spot. I mean like I said, I've been I've been here the whole time I've been with KB. I watched him when he played with Kenny and now I'm playing with him now So I think me and him got a good relationship and we compliment each other very well Mentally, you know, I just making sure that my communication is good I'm understanding not just my role, but you know the cornerbacks role the linebackers role Just being an extra coach on the field to help my teammates out and you know, they have confidence in me Yeah, I mean we got great guys great talent like you said and then you know, they're all smart You know, we got guys in the room that willing to learn and want to learn and you know They're coming out they're asking questions and I'm helping them out and they're helping me out So we're all just complimenting each other and we all just want to improve and just help the defense Is I mean it's great depth because it allows us to get into that playbook, you know a little deeper We don't have to you know, we start with the base stuff But now we already know what you know things that we've seen that hurt us during the season that are coming up now in practice We can already talk about it, but I'll have them to you know, go over it over and over again We already have learned it and know what we're going with what's going on You know wait for the off-season you kind of get to miss being around you know the team You know the camaraderie that you know see out here at the competition. I definitely missed it You made the decision to not come and tell this week. What were you doing? Okay, I got you guys what what's kind of your philosophy to the off-season at this point of your career and why did you make that decision? I mean I don't really have too much to say on that really. I mean, I just decided to come when I came Well, a lot of people do that, but like how do you get yourself ready? So that you don't miss a beat when you get out here I mean for me it's kind of naturally like jump right into it I mean, that's kind of goes to how I play anyway They you know get on the field is real natural me like playing sneakily and get back into the groove things really quickly Oh, yeah, it's definitely a lot better You know being in here in the very beginning to actually be around the guys from the from the jump is like instead of like you Say coming in middle of the season and trying to hurry up and rush to learn everything like just on the spot It's definitely I see it's gonna help a lot in my game I think I came in playing pretty good definitely the things I can prove them fine like within pass coverage even within the run game things That's it's gonna help with this off-season coming into it You know from the get go from the jump man, you know, we take a lot of pride in our room We have a lot of dogs, especially in our room with from bud to age to the Nico weaver You know me and then you know the rookie David, you know, I'm saying and Justin Lala You know, I'm saying the Superbowl champion So we got a lot of competition in our room and you know say anybody that gets out there is ready to compete You know everybody has their own certain routine that they go through me personally, you know I just try to take a little time off get my body back right and once I'm good get back at it Oh for sure You got to be ready you got to be ready We're all grown man now, you know, I'm saying this isn't college anymore with coaches are policing you and trying to make sure that you Good now we all grown man. And you know what this is. This is national football league. So you got to come prepared What's the belief with this? Man number one, that's the goal for this year number one. I mean everything just happens quicker He's got to be on the same page and play fast because I mean there's not a lot of space down here So whatever you're going to do it has to speed up and uh, yeah Sure any passcatcher receiver backs, I mean We have a very balanced offense where we can attack with any position over the past You had Dennis Kelly even catching tugs here. So I mean there are a lot of a lot of athletes We have in the room just you know, when it's your opportunity. Do your best to go up and get it Just training training working on my craft and yeah, same as everybody else just Working hard. I'm kind of more shifting the focus to kind of more sports specific stuff Um, yeah, and did the last couple weeks this offseason meet your expectations in terms of what you were looking for Yeah, absolutely. I mean every day I come out here and play a child's game. It's a blessing. So Yeah, I feel so much better. I mean got a lot more reps got a lot more opportunities That's everything that I asked that I wanted to ask for It's for me to get a chance to be out there with the guys and just show myself and play as hard as I can So you've got a couple I don't know a few more days another week a couple weeks before you truly get some time off Do you take this time to like grind even harder? Do you take a little bit of a breather? Or how do you approach what happens between now and coming back? You got a great harder I mean something that coach rable said is that if you come back to Camp fall camp the same way that you were during the spring OTA is everything like that that you did something wrong You need to be better coming into camp because that means you've been training harder That means you've been going through your plays and things like that. What do you do to get there? Training like conditioning every single day working out harder I'm going through my playbook on my own talking to my coach trying to call them out trying to ask some questions about plays Things that just doesn't hit me right whatever it is for me to make sure that when I come into camp I know as much as I can so I can come out rocking and rolling I know you said you feel so much better now than you did when you began Is it almost amazing the learning curve that is so steep that you have to pick up so quickly? What you do because that's what it takes. I mean, it's huge. I mean like once you're in a crucible, you know Like iron sharp designers and things like that so like when you're out here and you're training hard with other guys You just kind of get up to that level of standard and that level of like expertise, you know Because you got to compete and if you don't compete you're going to fall to the wayside So that's kind of how I feel OTA is a rookie mini camp and then mandatory mini camp is great because we all have to rise up to the occasion Especially when the older guys are here Yeah, I mean like we're it's our class, you know, so we care about each other We learn each other's days and things like that. We're all friends We all try to hang out outside of football as well But like on the field we make sure that everyone's doing their part We hold each other accountable and that we're striving to be the best that we can be I mean, you got to build your own self-confidence, you know Like I mean it's great to have the line room that we have with Taylor and all the older guys That they always try to instill confidence in the younger guys by the end of the day You have to believe in yourself and believe in what's been what's being taught and believe in the culture of the program Well, it's hot in Florida as well So but um, you know, you got to be conditioned you got to hydrate So we have a great nutritional staff with Lauren here She'd made sure that everyone knew about the weather we knew about how hot it's going to be But we can't let things like weather and fatigue Dampen our play We need to make sure that we always compete to the highest standard no matter the weather no matter the conditions Yeah, every single day we've got to crush it. I think the biggest goal is just to try to push ourselves You know, it's try to it's try to push ourselves to be better You know, I don't think anybody want to see the number one defense or but we do strive to be the best we could be When you get Jeff and Tanik go back in the building this week, how much does that Ramp up the camaraderie slash competition in this room, you know, uh, bringing those type of guys back always brings a lot of A lot of information, you know, you know, they've been playing on this team for a while But in the system for a while and you know, they're always trying to coach the younger guys including myself just uh The The be more attentive and just be more aware of like what's going on So it's really good to have them back and the push is competitively too coach T said It's amazing the depth we have up front on this team You've got to feel that how do you carve your own role out amongst them?  How do you make yourself stand out from everybody else to find this role on the team? Well, I just do all the little things, you know Just pay attention a little bit more study a little bit more harder And you know, I just guard it like I said, just go out there play hard Just play hard and the coach is going to take notice when you are there balling when I was younger I probably did think like that while I wasn't working but that's just a natural distraction. Um As I learned throughout my years and with my teams is just control what I can control And if they're confident with me going out there, then I'll go out there If they don't want me out there, they don't want me out there So I just continue to just keep working and just keep trying to get better every day You've made obviously a lot of plays during this offseason. I mean, how have things gone so far in your mind? I feel like they're going well. I keep the same mindset just keep building each day and What I did yesterday doesn't matter. It's about what I do today and the next day What do you think you have to do on a consistent level to prove that you belong and to earn playing time? Um, just a assignment sound football Stay on top of my details and keep making plays and I feel like I have an excellent shot to be here How do you rate yourself as a blocker? That's the big deal for wide receivers here I feel like I'm black fine. Um, I'm gonna get the job done. I'm gonna finish I'm uh, I'm gonna do what I have to do to get my man What about the special teams aspect, you know for a guy where you're probably make the roster? That's pretty important. Is that something you know, you start playing into the equation Special teams always been reporting especially since Since Cincinnati since new york has always been the emphasis Been in the same position. So I had a lot of years to work the craft and to learn and learn different techniques Learn different systems. So special teams is a very important phase of football. So there's no Offense defense specialist teams is the margin that helps you win games field and ryan certainly does that coach downing said He's even louder this year. Have you noticed that a little bit? He's taking on even more leadership In a real positive way. So it's been awesome. I think the players really respond well to him And uh, it's been good. Besides that he spoke it yesterday again that it was really tough for him after the bangles lost He was in dark places to work over that Have you seen a little bit of a different ryan since he's come back in any way? You know ryan's always been really focused and driven Um, prepared every day. It's really been similar Um, and there hasn't been any change in that at all really With him with the experience that ryan's got though Is there when you get to a certain point in your career does that maybe allow him to to work on different things or try to Find tunes some areas of his game. That's probably a really good question for ryan. Uh, we just continue to You know work on on staying consistent with everything we do and there's no one who wants to be more consistent than ryan And uh in a really good way. He's just so fun to coach and be around. He's such a professional. It's been great You know how much Out of the red zone period Yeah, no, that's a good question paul um You know when you get down into the low red area, there's a lot of timing down there I mean there's timing in in every fast of our passing game But down there you really have to be on the same page because things happen quickly It's almost like basketball where you're distributing the ball down in the paint, you know To to shoot a basket. I'm not a very good basketball, but I don't know a lot about it, but probably similar Um, but yeah, that's critical. There's a lot of communication down there that drill you're talking about paul for sure You know, I think des is done an excellent job of working. You can see the growth you see the improvement I would say the same about racy. You just He just hasn't been able to be a part of some of the team periods, but he's done a great job Now it's just about getting it done in game situations He's getting he's getting touched from a lot of different angles man We're doing everything we can to keep him abreast. He's done a great job of responding to everything we've given him And he's eager to learn and eager to get to work Really wants to obviously would want to be out here How do you kind of handle the patience part of it and knowing My time is coming. Well, it's it's tough when you're young and when you're young You typically don't have a whole lot of patience, but he understands the process And uh, he's trying to control the things that he can control How's josh below done? He's the guy that's kind of bouncing around the league a little bit How's he done since he's been here and does the guy come in with a you know Reputation preceding him or does he come in with a fresh slate when he gets here? No, he definitely came in with a fresh slate. I could tell you that I am Static about the progress he's made and and really his development and where he's at right now You know at the end of the day, we all know this game is all about what you do with the pads on So if he could take what he's done here And and do it in training camp You know, he's going to have a leg up for sure What about Phillips, what you saw from him when he first got here to maybe now got a long way to go obviously Where is where is he making strides? What does he need to do to find a spot? Well, I think he's uh, he's starting to understand, uh, you know Kind of some of the fundamentals that he's got developing and how he's going to have to play at this league Play in this league and in regards to being able to create separation on all those things Um, and to be effective on a consistent basis on those are the things he's figuring out right now But uh, the kids got really good short area quickness and he's got a lot of tools to to build on You know, I think it's probably You know, we could say it's a little bit harder in the years past with no off season and all that stuff But that's that's really just part of pro football though with all the injuries you have and everything else These guys got to be able to rotate and move around and play with different people Aaron similar in that regard not the biggest guy, but how does he sort of compensate?  I think he's come a long way and I'm excited to see where he goes when you're a smaller guard like Aaron or even like Marco Going back to my High school days and stuff a lighter guard usually does a lot of pulling and using that athleticism Is that an advantage those guys can do? Well, I just think athleticism in general is is good But obviously, you know the lighter the smaller guys we got to compensate in other ways, you know and and Like anything else in this league. It's about matchups So I don't know if if schematically pawns better than something else as much as it is is Figuring out where your matchups where you can maybe be better than a less athletic guy up front Or if it's a bigger guy figure out ways to help them when maybe uh, there's a weight disadvantage or something like that See where at any position is so critical and we always emphasize that that no matter what we're telling our guys as coaches Um that the relationship that trumps all of that is being on the same page with the quarterback So the extra time they've had during special teams periods before and after practice constant communication the meetings I think it's going to pay real dividends once we get to the season and they've obviously been off to a good start here So far in the offseason is the everything that you thought you were getting Yeah, you know what haven't ever worked with them I try I try not to set unfair expectations on anyone whether it's a rookie We draft or sign post draft or bring it in free agency But I can say this I've really enjoyed working with him. He brings an element to our team That's really exciting for our tight end room and um, I'm excited to see what he can get done this fall You guys have been working on a lot of red zone stuff with the tight ends in practice Obviously, that's a huge thing when it comes to game time and how beneficial do you think he can be? Yeah, you know anytime you can add a big target like hoop down in the red zone You know once you get in the red zone things are going to happen faster The windows get tighter for the quarterbacks and when you can use a big body and a wide catch radius like he has Hopefully it leads to more touchdowns in the red zone and and that's something that as we get into the season We're we're anticipating from hoop and and excited for what he adds to our offense with chig and and hooper Can that give you a Certain opportunities to be able to create match-ups out of a 12 or 13 package Maybe that you weren't able to do in the past Yeah, you know, that's one of the fun things about coaching tight ends here And and that goes back for a few years is all the position flexibility We have and the versatility that we we call upon all our guys to play with So when you have guys with a skill set like hoop and a skill set like chig to be able to make some Match guys and like you mentioned, you know trying to create those favorable match-ups once we get into the season It's exciting right now It's just about getting a feel for the system learning our offense so we can play guys it at different spots But you know the first thing we always teach our tight ends when they come here is they got to come here and block So they got to contribute in the run game as a blocker and once they do that they're going to earn opportunities in the past game Yeah, you know, briley brings the same work ethic every single day and he's been working his tail off to get back Really excited about him. We're excited about him last fall when we got him after the draft and You know, he's he's a guy that again, I don't mean to sound like a broken record He's got a lot of versatility. So we're excited to use him in multiple ways and you know, like most of our guys They'll dictate the role for themselves They're gonna they're gonna go ahead and have every opportunity throughout the course of training camp To prove themselves and show that they can play in a variety of ways and Looking forward to seeing that from briley as well. I know it's early on but how has he responded to that so far? Yeah, he's been great. He's been great so far Can't ask anything more briley. He's doing everything. We're asking him to do and He's put in the work every single day. That's a great thing about him. He's the same guy every day He's got a same great attitude same great work ethic He's excited for his teammates when they succeed out there on the field and it was cool to see him yesterday during the red zone period Celebrating some of those touchdowns with a lot of passion energy and that's where you're going to get from briley every day Good Yeah, I haven't seen the weights and um, I know he looks good. I don't know what he weighs Right now, um, but he's here and he's doing a good job kind of What we expected No, he's fine. He's fine. He's doing exactly what we asked what we're asking him to do right now Because that's what we're asking him to do so he's doing just well. I promise you What is it that he could accomplish by by being here but not being on this? Just watching tape Again and doing some of the things that we're asking him to do just look at tape and Look at what he can get better at. I mean, it's it's important to be out here, but it's also important to watch tape and and Improve that way. So he's doing a good job. One of the things that he said he wants to improve upon is generating turnovers Is that a conversation that you guys have had and what are some of the steps you're taking? Yeah, we've been We've been talking about that really the the whole offseason not just jeff but the the entire defense are just Getting uh, it's it's not as easy as people think of getting the balls out We've been in position to get a bunch of them out. Sometimes they They we get them out and then the other the offense gets them back And I mean it's just by chance, but we're going to keep on swinging and doing what we need to do to To try to force more takeaways We talk, I mean we're we talk because it's we're here for me anyway, it's more than just football I mean these guys are like Family to us. So we talk to them. We don't talk every day, but we talk to them. So it's been good Given that he knows how to get himself ready and stuff like what what is he missing by not being out here on the field? The heat that's about it. I mean he won't be out here in the heat and I will and that's what he's missing right now But he'll he'll be ready to go when it's time to be ready to go That we have um, some pretty good depth I mean, it's a it's a group that's played a lot of football between Walker hand strong not necessarily for us, but they've played in this league and then you throw in a Nate quine and and tart who's played. So it's a it's a good group. What he's doing right now It's huge. I mean getting thrown in somewhere halfway through the year. I mean, it's tough on anybody But um, you know once Zach learns learns exactly what's going on with the nuts and bolts the details of the defense I'll go to where Zach Cunningham any day Gets his footing here on the league. Yeah, I think it's good He came out of Tennessee. Well coach was able to play multiple positions. So we're seeing him be able to Retain information. We're seeing him to be able to understand our defense And now he's just in the process of taking it from the classroom to the field now and being able to run the defense Like a safety needs to and it's a process. You know, some days are good other days He needs to continue to improve But the one thing is that he's a worker he comes in and and is prepared and it's really important to him So we see some improvement and just want to make sure that he takes the next step You know once we get in the camp and everything like that What are his biggest strengths from a skill set standpoint at this point in time? Yeah, again I would start with the ability to play Multiple positions at Tennessee and then being able to do multiple things for us here You know at the safety position we ask our safety to play man play deep coverage Play close to the box Do a lot of things blitz and so he is he has the skill set to do that And now it's just the anticipation of changing defenses with motion And doing some of the things that he may not see in college now that he sees in the pros So that's the process of him just being able to communicate our defense being able to run our defense Like the safety does and that takes time and he's improving every day And so again, uh, you know, those are a couple things that he does well and a couple things that he can continue to improve on Would you like about um, what how money's played last couple years and maybe what's what's next for him? How can he get better? Yeah, I think the development is the thing that we like the most I think seeing him in 19 going from a guy that plays sparingly and sub To 20 playing a little bit more starting a couple games whenever Kenny was hurt and then in 21 You know being a guy besides when he was hurt himself for four games He was entrenched as a starter and made plays for us So we love to see the fact that he's developed and improved every year And uh, we want to see that next step We want to see him to continue to have ball production to continue to be able to blitz to be a guy always around the ball and You know a solid tackler and a guy that's just being able to make plays in the back end, uh, you know Be a great compliment to kevin Like to see those guys working hand in hand to know what each other is doing Before they even communicate with each other those type of things that happens whenever you start playing with a guy multiple seasons So, uh, we look forward to that. We look forward to leadership from a money, too You know, uh, 31 shouldn't always be the one leading and so, you know, we're we're uh, we're Looking for development and leadership, which I know that he wants to take that next step in So all those things I think are things that he's working on and things that he's embracing and uh, again from his track record You know, he's been improving every year We have a lot of young guys, you know, we got christian that has played a larger than the play But you know, we got Buster that's the older guy in the room But we have some younger guys chris jackson's done a good job and um, Rogers come in from the day he's been here and did a good job So they know every day we tell him it's a competition from the time you walk in and build a meeting room and on the practice field Christian exploded last year He's been a little bit limited out here from what we can tell with the yellow jersey this spring How has he been able to still mature through that this spring? Well, I can see him being more comfortable what reacts in him to do even in the You know the work he has out here and even in the meeting room has just understanding You know offence is how they're trying to attack us and I think he's taking that next step And I'm looking for you know big things for him this year and I've been encouraged with what he's done Well chris has been good, he's been a guy that has some versatility he can play inside can play outside So, you know and that's been good for him and he's a smart guy. He's tough. He's fast. He can run So he's he's been good for us and then his deal is he's know whatever he acts him to do He's been willing to do and he's just taken advantage of all the opportunities He's had and he had a chance to come in his first year and play a lot of football for us So he's another guy in that mix like you talk about this competing for a role A guy that came in every day from this time, you know, he got here and worked Great attention to detail he high care factor He puts in the time away from the building and you know, you can coach him hard and he'll take it and he goes out there and compete Yeah, there's a there's a lot of things going on and that's the same for a lot of players You know a lot of obstacles and a lot of distractions and and things that can take their minds away from the game I think for bud, this is going to be a A huge offseason the huge training camp coming up once again just to get back in the scheme of things In year two for any player should be better with the scheme and should be better and more comfortable in the system So, um, we'll just keep pressing. What's Absolutely, maybe not so much a scheme maybe more technique But any guy that has experience that have done it for a long time those are open conversations You know find ways to get them better and that's that's the name of the game just helping them improve Ideal time to implement stuff like that before training camp starts before they go on Yeah, you know, you want them to leave here the next five weeks and be able to to sharpen those tools and Add some things or maybe take some things away and then training camp is where you hone in on it And you get the scheme going and then you're in season. So, um, absolutely Harold was talking yesterday about You know, maybe a priority is trying to find a way to create some more of those turnovers by reaching You know for a quarterback has that been kind of a priority in some of these off-season drills? Absolutely. I mean that's It was embarrassing last year to be honest with you We got those guys did a an excellent job getting to the quarterback But we just we got to be able to change the game. So heavy emphasis this year We spent a lot of time talking about it We spent a lot of time showing clips and we're absolutely spending a lot of time working it I mean, I guess if it gets a little better Really great chance for you guys considering how often you did get to the quarterback Yeah, and that's on them. I mean, they're they're those guys go really hard up front They rush well together and hope to take a step in that direction again this year But we got to be able to change the game when we get to the quarterback that many times Weaver, I know you talked a little bit about him last week as well What's important for him? Maybe at the start of camp to try to build his way up for You know to try to make this roster and have an impact Yeah, I think for him just once again his pad level is always going to be a challenge But just getting more comfortable with the playbook, you know, he started out training camp We had him early last year as a rookie came through training camp and then got hurt early in the season And we kind of took his mind a little bit off of the scheme and implemented it more towards and What's going on in the game and helped him to study the game and now it's bringing them back Right and getting them ready To play in our system and getting them caught up there. So he's doing a great job It's just day by day improvement Is he one of those guys where you could kind of Use him similar to how you use all three as far as I hand in the dirt as well standing up Would you like to get back to that with him?  He's uh, but I know wherever we put him He's going to do a great job Speaking of Danico, I know he kind of switched back and forth a little bit too last year Do you expect him a similar role or maybe more, you know edge inside this year? It'll probably be similar to last year and then, you know, we'll see Where he's at and how he's doing and as the season progresses and he's another guy that we can stick him anywhere and he'll do a great job Yesterday It was good. It was good to have the whole group together, you know to be out on the field with the whole group For the first time was awesome Again, obviously he's been working. So it's good For the group to see that he's been working as well because sometimes, you know We all wonder what people are doing, but they can see that he's been working Obviously, he has a great presence among the group and they they look to him as a leader So it was good to have him back out there along those lines like when he's not only coming back But but taking a majority of the maps are right away and then doing, you know gassers during any available break What kind of you know example, I guess Well, he's he's earned the reps, you know, uh based on what he's done And and he's he's earned the right to be a starter. So when he gets back that's Kind of his role and so he works through the offseason So that he's prepared for that and then when he gets out and run gasses, you know, he's a team guy and So he's gonna work on his conditioning Here just like the rest of the guys that are here. So he goes and goes and does it from your conversations with them Have you noticed like is there kind of like an extra edge that that he has and coming back from that injury? He's he's he's working, uh, obviously he doesn't talk a whole lot about it and I don't ask him about it, you know We start over, you know every year is a new year every team's a new team And he understands what has been accomplishing the passes in the past So it's not what you did last year is what are you going to do now going forward? And so we we talked him about that raves talks to him about that and he had that in his background from his college days It was kind of that way at alabama, right everything. It's a new year. We start all over again You got what you did in the past means nothing
