Speaker 1 (00:00):
The first couple days obviously acclimation, everybody getting used to
the heat, getting used to communicating.
Speaker 2 (00:04):
With each other. But so far, so good.
Speaker 1 (00:06):
Every day were just trying to come in and get
one percent better as a unit, as a team.
Speaker 2 (00:10):
That's the goal. We get one percent better every day
off season program communication to now training camp.
Speaker 3 (00:15):
Even besides the five weeks away, I.
Speaker 1 (00:18):
Mean, obviously OTAs it was just the build up and
once we came back into training camp, we were just
still trying to build out of.
Speaker 2 (00:24):
What we learned the OTA is.
Speaker 1 (00:25):
Obviously we probably had to go back and refresh over
some of the plays, but it was it wasn't like
it was our first time hearing it. So with us
coming in we was able to pick up on some
of the things fast. But obviously some guys, as they
give us a little load, we may mess up here
and that. But that's what all this time is for meetings,
walkthrough and everything like that.
Speaker 3 (00:42):
Just for this a feel this year team compare for
the last few years.
Speaker 1 (00:46):
Man, I mean training camp go feel like training camp
every year, especially here with the heat.
Speaker 2 (00:51):
But it's training camp.
Speaker 1 (00:52):
We all know it's a time where we all try
to come together to help build the team chemistry to
help get where we want to go.
Speaker 2 (00:58):
During the season. So it's great. It's a good break
so far.
Speaker 1 (01:01):
It's gonna be training camp regardss, I mean it's going good.
Coaching staff doing great. I feel like they're doing a
great job with the play call. Like I say, we're
just refreshing on the play so obviously they're not just
pointing on it's not our first time hearing it.
Speaker 2 (01:16):
But the staffs so far is great. So what do
you like about y'all s game? Man?
Speaker 1 (01:21):
I love I love the attack mentality, the type of
just the mentality that Camp brings along. He's the same
high energy guy every day and as a as a
person looking at someone else, all you can ask for,
it's them to be consistent every day and he's been
that every.
Speaker 2 (01:35):
Day before that I did. I love that.
Speaker 1 (01:39):
Obviously, a little competition get get to go against some
of our teammates, which makes it a little bit funer.
Speaker 2 (01:44):
Just give you a little bit of ed, especially if
you're a true competitor.
Speaker 3 (01:49):
How do you take more leadership role this year? What
do you feel like you need to do?
Speaker 4 (01:53):
Me?
Speaker 1 (01:53):
I just I just think it's number one home in
on me personally myself, I have to do things the
right way first, uh, and then go from there. Just
try to pour into the other players as they come
to me, ask questions or like like I said, it's
a couple of a lot of younger a lot more
guys that's younger than me that's coming to me asking
questions and things of that nature.
Speaker 2 (02:12):
And just leading by example on the field. That's the
main thing, because I.
Speaker 3 (02:14):
Have a switch for you know, at one point, not
too long ago, you were the young guy asking a
ton of questions.
Speaker 2 (02:19):
Most definitely.
Speaker 1 (02:20):
I mean I always felt like I've been a leader
ever since I've been a little kid. My mom always
told me, Mom and dad I always told them.
Speaker 2 (02:25):
Not to be a leader, not a followers.
Speaker 1 (02:26):
So I feel like I've always been a Leader's just
now it's it may be a little bit more broad
to you all as far as the media and the
fans and things of that nature.
Speaker 2 (02:34):
As I get older as a players.
Speaker 3 (02:37):
Your style or even more of the lead by example.
Speaker 2 (02:39):
Or more lead by example.
Speaker 1 (02:41):
I mean I talked with jokes, laugh around, joke around
things of that nature, but I'm more of a go
out there, get the job done.
Speaker 2 (02:47):
And obviously a lot of guys.
Speaker 1 (02:49):
They just see the hard work that I put in,
dedication that I have for the love of the game.
Speaker 2 (02:53):
Aren't of the leaders life? Where are you there?
Speaker 4 (02:59):
Different now?
Speaker 1 (03:00):
Even coming into uh, I like to say, just my
my mental aspect, and obviously in the film room, I
know exactly what I'm looking for.
Speaker 2 (03:08):
But once I go into the.
Speaker 1 (03:09):
Film room, now it's not I have a more of
a routine when it comes to film, study, treatment, things
of that nature. So I feel like, just going in
the year before, I'm a lot more mature when it
comes to carrying how I'm carrying myself in the building,
how am I going about myself outside of the building
as well?
Speaker 5 (03:23):
And you see, don't live yourself as a rookie year
as opposed to like last year.
Speaker 3 (03:27):
Now do you go, wow, what a different guy I am?
Speaker 1 (03:31):
I mean, I wouldn't say different guy because like everybody know,
I was, I was drafted off of potential.
Speaker 2 (03:37):
I've only been past rushing.
Speaker 1 (03:38):
I started pass rushing at defensive end probably say true
my sophomore year of college. But now I'm just I
always have athleticism to be great, but now I'm just
starting to put everything together. So obviously it's some things
that I'd be like, oh shit, I definitely could have
worked on some things better right here. But obviously now,
like I said, just trying to get one percent better
every day every year, that's my main goal.
Speaker 3 (03:57):
I feel like it's work for you to get this pass.
Speaker 2 (03:59):
Rushing almost definitely, it's always room for improvement.
Speaker 1 (04:03):
But like I say, I feel like I'm establishing myself,
especially amongst the team. That's all that really matters the
outside world. It really doesn't matter what the media thinks,
fans think so or anybody else. As long as I
get my respect from my teammates and my peers, that's
how that matters.
Speaker 5 (04:16):
Speaking of your teammates, just how much of an impact
that's Eric Arms made over the last year and a half.
I know he had a up and down here last year,
but coming in.
Speaker 1 (04:24):
For me personally, he brings a lot of different things
to the game.
Speaker 2 (04:28):
He's, like I said, he's a true vet.
Speaker 1 (04:30):
He's been around the game of He played in a
couple probably two different generations of football. So it's just
his mindset of how he breaks down certain plays, certain formations,
and just even the smaller details, like you want to
always hone in on small details, but I feel like
very he does a great job of digging even deeper
into what they're doing or why they're doing it this way.
Speaker 5 (04:52):
How much easier can that make it for younger guys.
I know you're entering year four, but just learning your
third defensive play. But having a guy like Eric or
or a better to be able to carry.
Speaker 1 (05:00):
Along a couple of long makes them a lot easier. Obviously,
he's one of those guys like he's a laid back
reserve guy as well, But if he knows that you're
struggling with something, he's definitely gonna come up to you
and say something, regardless of if you ask or not,
just because that's the type of leader that he is.
Speaker 2 (05:14):
He's played in multiple defenses himself, and he.
Speaker 1 (05:17):
Knows how to categorize some things that maybe may be
able to help the younger players.
Speaker 3 (05:23):
And Josh played together enough and kind of know what
to expect from each person on every play, you know
what I mean?
Speaker 1 (05:29):
Almost definitely like I'll talk about this my rookie year
and years after that too. It's just like knowing who's
on the other side of you, or knowing who's on
the inside.
Speaker 2 (05:38):
Of you, what type of rusher. Is he what type
of rusher? I'm mind.
Speaker 1 (05:41):
That's where times like this during camp you all come together.
As far as communication he's taking. Is he taking a
high rusher? I take a low rush when he takes
this high wrestle. Just we all been on the same court,
especially up front, I mean within that box, like we
all have to be on one accord when especially number
one when it comes to the run game, everybody has
a job to do on every single play, and that's
(06:01):
in the run or pass. So just playing with him
for the going on four years now, I feel like
I know him as a player and we work together
very well.
Speaker 5 (06:10):
All right, Thanks than you've sort of seen from him
since you've got here. And what type of player is
he for?
Speaker 4 (06:18):
For people who man, he's he's a great player, obviously,
but I said this the last time I talked to
you guys. He's a great person. He's got a lot
of leadership qualities. I don't think there's anybody in the
building that doesn't genuinely love the guy. He just a
great human being, got a great energy about him.
Speaker 3 (06:34):
You know.
Speaker 4 (06:34):
It's credit to everyone that raised him because he's the
type of guy like you love the coaching. You know,
you love his teammates love playing with him, and his
coaches love coaching.
Speaker 5 (06:44):
How much can that impact the locker room positively? Just
just having a guy like that around, it's sort of steady.
You gonta get too high and don't get too low
in the fens coachable.
Speaker 4 (06:53):
He said, when I think when some of your best
players are your best leaders, uh and the best people,
that's a great thing, you know, because that's what sets
the culture of every building. You know they're gonna go.
The guys are going to follow the guys who bring
that energy, and he brings a positive energy. I think
it's obviously an overall net positive for the entire building,
offense and defense.
Speaker 3 (07:14):
To have a guy like that, you know about him
as a player got here. He's kind of like one
of those anonymous really good players.
Speaker 4 (07:21):
Yeah, I did, because just Knowe Trace got at Georgia
a little bit and some of the people, you know,
we kind of run in the same circles coaches and
some other coaches. I know. I remember Pete Jenkins was
kind of a legendary D line coach going down there
and had worked with him at Georgia and talking about
him way back, you know, when he was in college,
just the type of guy. He is always serious, you know,
(07:43):
driven and wanting to be great. So that was really
what I knew of Treymon and all that has been true.
You know, you see, No, No, I don't think so
at all. I think when he speaks, people listen, and
you know, there's there's a lot to that that when
when somebody who maybe people perceive isn't that you know, vocal,
(08:06):
which he is. He's vocal in the building, but when
he speaks it means something to the guy's on the
team and people listen.
Speaker 3 (08:12):
I'm done.
Speaker 4 (08:15):
I mean, he's got a ton of potential. This guy's
a limit for him. And it's just like every other physician,
every other guy you know, doing it every day, every play.
That's really what sets the tone for what you're going
to do out there every day. And I think he
you know, out there on Sunday, I should say, but
he's a guy who brings it every play every day.
You watch him in drow work, I mean, he's locked in,
laser focused. So I'm excited for him, excited for what he's.
Speaker 3 (08:38):
Going to do this year, Excited to get him in
your system too.
Speaker 4 (08:41):
Oh yeah, absolutely, Yeah, absolutely, you know when you know
there's a guy like that, it's an exciting thing. You know,
coaches getting a lot smarter when you got good players.
Speaker 2 (08:50):
So it's.
Speaker 4 (08:52):
Where after two days with this blue group, Yeah, I
mean like usually, like any year in camp, you know,
you got some of these early mistakes. And camp is
a great thing because you kind of just get locked
the way you do football for quite a while here
and you really have a singular focus. And what it
takes to get better at football is playing football, So
you need constant repetition. It's you know, it's all about
(09:15):
muscle memory and seeing things over and over and over again,
talking about things in a consistent way, saying things the
same way so we hear them the same way all
the time. That's really as a coach, I think the
biggest challenge in camp, you know, everybody speaking the same
language and everybody driving the same points home and being honest,
and you gotta be honest. So our guys have done
(09:36):
a great job of that to this point. Obviously it's
two days, but they're doing a really good job and
hopefully continue to get better the defense.
Speaker 5 (09:43):
How much year makes Tuesdays.
Speaker 3 (09:46):
As the defensive guy. You know, how much do you
have next Tuesday, sir? When heads go on, is you
see these guys get off?
Speaker 4 (09:52):
Wats say, Yeah, that's that's always a huge deal, you know,
and it's it's an exciting time for the players to
But uh, the only thing we can control is what
we're doing every day and that drill work that we're doing.
I think that's such a critical part of coaching that
you have to simulate the things that are going to
happen in the game, and you got to be laser
focused as to where you're standing when you're coaching the drill,
(10:13):
where you're filming the drill from, you know, so they're
getting constant, consistent feedback when they go out there in
full paths that they can play at optimal performance.
Speaker 5 (10:20):
A lot of where to talk about just your defense
is to attack more and the like there better have
you seen them be able to play more freely?
Speaker 4 (10:27):
Yeah? I think the better you know things you know
and the more you do something, that's when you play faster.
You know, there's more anticipation when there's better communication. So
the more and more you do things, more and more
you see things. You talk about things in the meeting room,
you walk through things and you get a chance to
get it at a game speed. You're gonna communicate better
and a call is going to help somebody. So when
(10:48):
our team is communicating, that's when we're usually playing fast.
And I see that through the transition of the spring
end of the summer. I think our guys that are
a good job of studying this offseason, and they were
able to hit the ground running a little bit when
they got out here. Communication was good.
Speaker 5 (11:02):
You've been asked this already, but in terms of rotating
guys at both corner and safety, kind of seeing those
different combinations, what's your expected timelines when maybe that shapes.
Speaker 3 (11:11):
Out and the depth sharp starts.
Speaker 4 (11:13):
I think you're always going through that throughout the season.
And one of the beautiful things about football is it
can be so personnel and package oriented. You know, based
on the opponent, you know what they're putting out there
from a personnel perspective, or who those guys actually are,
what's the best matchup? A lot of times that decides
who you play and who's playing in the game. So
we try to do that all the way through, you know,
(11:33):
all the way through to the end of the season,
and I think that's a big part of evaluation as
a coacher. A little bit extra.
Speaker 3 (11:41):
Work in between, like when there's a special team sperit
or stuff like that. Does that stretch you guys out
a little bit in terms of your planning and how
it works around you.
Speaker 4 (11:49):
No, I would say Liam's done an unbelievable job with that.
He is like down to the second with all that.
It's it's honestly, it's impressive to watch because he does
a great job of communicating with us. You know when
he's gonna be with us, when he's gonna be meeting
with us, when we're gonna have time on the field,
and our coaches, Coach Miless, Coach Perkins, those guys have
done a great job. And coach Les Gary uh in
(12:11):
the meetings, they've done a great job playing and everything
out with his meeting time and then having the stuff
ready to go on the field so we can do
you know, feet meets and walk and talks with him
in between. If he's available, I.
Speaker 3 (12:23):
Would be going around a lot of great football players.
Speaker 4 (12:26):
When you see the three wide receivers going up against
your defense, is this some moong or if not the
fastest group of wide receivers. It's a great group and
they are hard working dudes, you know, like they're they
challenge it in practice, so you you couldn't get a
better situation, you know, if you're a defensive player than
we have here again the opportunity to play against great
(12:47):
players every day. So they really are. It's a great group.
It's a special group of guys.
Speaker 5 (12:53):
To have a guy like Eric Carlein said in the
building in the defense just being able.
Speaker 3 (12:57):
To carry the guys along the wad.
Speaker 4 (12:59):
Yeah, take Eric Scott as you know, you know, it's
like Walter pay Man of the Year, the whole thing.
He's got great leadership qualities and the people in the
locker room, people look up to Eric because won his
consistency and performance and just his personality is that of
a guy that wants to help other people, you know,
So that that is as a coach, it's a great
(13:20):
thing to have, you know what I mean. And a
guy that you can obviously is always going to be
honest and that's where I was looking for, honest feedback
from coaches to players, players to coaches, and I think
he's done a great job with that. I appreciate you everything.
Thank you
The first couple days obviously acclimation, everybody getting used to
the heat, getting used to communicating.

And Josh played together enough and kind of know what
to expect from each person on every play, you know
what I mean?
Speaker 1 (05:29):
Almost definitely like I'll talk about this my rookie year
and years after that too. It's just like knowing who's
on the other side of you, or knowing who's on
the inside.
Speaker 2 (05:38):
Of you, what type of rusher. Is he what type
of rusher? I'm mind.
Speaker 1 (05:41):
That's where times like this during camp you all come together.
As far as communication he's taking. Is he taking a
high rusher? I take a low rush when he takes
this high wrestle. Just we all been on the same court,
especially up front, I mean within that box, like we
all have to be on one accord when especially number
one when it comes to the run game, everybody has
a job to do on every single play, and that's
(06:01):
in the run or pass. So just playing with him
for the going on four years now, I feel like
I know him as a player and we work together
very well.
Speaker 5 (06:10):
All right, Thanks than you've sort of seen from him
since you've got here. And what type of player is
he for?
Speaker 4 (06:18):
For people who man, he's he's a great player, obviously,
but I said this the last time I talked to
you guys. He's a great person. He's got a lot
of leadership qualities. I don't think there's anybody in the
building that doesn't genuinely love the guy. He just a
great human being, got a great energy about him.
Speaker 3 (06:34):
You know.
Speaker 4 (06:34):
It's credit to everyone that raised him because he's the
type of guy like you love the coaching. You know,
you love his teammates love playing with him, and his
coaches love coaching.
Speaker 5 (06:44):
How much can that impact the locker room positively? Just
just having a guy like that around, it's sort of steady.
You gonta get too high and don't get too low
in the fens coachable.
Speaker 4 (06:53):
He said, when I think when some of your best
players are your best leaders, uh and the best people,
that's a great thing, you know, because that's what sets
the culture of every building. You know they're gonna go.
The guys are going to follow the guys who bring
that energy, and he brings a positive energy. I think
it's obviously an overall net positive for the entire building,
offense and defense.
Speaker 3 (07:14):
To have a guy like that, you know about him
as a player got here. He's kind of like one
of those anonymous really good players.
Speaker 4 (07:21):
Yeah, I did, because just Knowe Trace got at Georgia
a little bit and some of the people, you know,
we kind of run in the same circles coaches and
some other coaches. I know. I remember Pete Jenkins was
kind of a legendary D line coach going down there
and had worked with him at Georgia and talking about
him way back, you know, when he was in college,
just the type of guy. He is always serious, you know,
(07:43):
driven and wanting to be great. So that was really
what I knew of Treymon and all that has been true.
You know, you see, No, No, I don't think so
at all. I think when he speaks, people listen, and
you know, there's there's a lot to that that when
when somebody who maybe people perceive isn't that you know, vocal,
(08:06):
which he is. He's vocal in the building, but when
he speaks it means something to the guy's on the
team and people listen.
Speaker 3 (08:12):
I'm done.
Speaker 4 (08:15):
I mean, he's got a ton of potential. This guy's
a limit for him. And it's just like every other physician,
every other guy you know, doing it every day, every play.
That's really what sets the tone for what you're going
to do out there every day. And I think he
you know, out there on Sunday, I should say, but
he's a guy who brings it every play every day.
You watch him in drow work, I mean, he's locked in,
laser focused. So I'm excited for him, excited for what he's.
Speaker 3 (08:38):
Going to do this year, Excited to get him in
your system too.
Speaker 4 (08:41):
Oh yeah, absolutely, Yeah, absolutely, you know when you know
there's a guy like that, it's an exciting thing. You know,
coaches getting a lot smarter when you got good players.
Speaker 2 (08:50):
So it's.
Speaker 4 (08:52):
Where after two days with this blue group, Yeah, I
mean like usually, like any year in camp, you know,
you got some of these early mistakes. And camp is
a great thing because you kind of just get locked
the way you do football for quite a while here
and you really have a singular focus. And what it
takes to get better at football is playing football, So
you need constant repetition. It's you know, it's all about
(09:15):
muscle memory and seeing things over and over and over again,
talking about things in a consistent way, saying things the
same way so we hear them the same way all
the time. That's really as a coach, I think the
biggest challenge in camp, you know, everybody speaking the same
language and everybody driving the same points home and being honest,
and you gotta be honest. So our guys have done
(09:36):
a great job of that to this point. Obviously it's
two days, but they're doing a really good job and
hopefully continue to get better the defense.
Speaker 5 (09:43):
How much year makes Tuesdays.
Speaker 3 (09:46):
As the defensive guy. You know, how much do you
have next Tuesday, sir? When heads go on, is you
see these guys get off?
Speaker 4 (09:52):
Wats say, Yeah, that's that's always a huge deal, you know,
and it's it's an exciting time for the players to
But uh, the only thing we can control is what
we're doing every day and that drill work that we're doing.
I think that's such a critical part of coaching that
you have to simulate the things that are going to
happen in the game, and you got to be laser
focused as to where you're standing when you're coaching the drill,
(10:13):
where you're filming the drill from, you know, so they're
getting constant, consistent feedback when they go out there in
full paths that they can play at optimal performance.
Speaker 5 (10:20):
A lot of where to talk about just your defense
is to attack more and the like there better have
you seen them be able to play more freely?
Speaker 4 (10:27):
Yeah? I think the better you know things you know
and the more you do something, that's when you play faster.
You know, there's more anticipation when there's better communication. So
the more and more you do things, more and more
you see things. You talk about things in the meeting room,
you walk through things and you get a chance to
get it at a game speed. You're gonna communicate better
and a call is going to help somebody. So when
(10:48):
our team is communicating, that's when we're usually playing fast.
And I see that through the transition of the spring
end of the summer. I think our guys that are
a good job of studying this offseason, and they were
able to hit the ground running a little bit when
they got out here. Communication was good.
Speaker 5 (11:02):
You've been asked this already, but in terms of rotating
guys at both corner and safety, kind of seeing those
different combinations, what's your expected timelines when maybe that shapes.
Speaker 3 (11:11):
Out and the depth sharp starts.
Speaker 4 (11:13):
I think you're always going through that throughout the season.
And one of the beautiful things about football is it
can be so personnel and package oriented. You know, based
on the opponent, you know what they're putting out there
from a personnel perspective, or who those guys actually are,
what's the best matchup? A lot of times that decides
who you play and who's playing in the game. So
we try to do that all the way through, you know,
(11:33):
all the way through to the end of the season,
and I think that's a big part of evaluation as
a coacher. A little bit extra.
Speaker 3 (11:41):
Work in between, like when there's a special team sperit
or stuff like that. Does that stretch you guys out
a little bit in terms of your planning and how
it works around you.
Speaker 4 (11:49):
No, I would say Liam's done an unbelievable job with that.
He is like down to the second with all that.
It's it's honestly, it's impressive to watch because he does
a great job of communicating with us. You know when
he's gonna be with us, when he's gonna be meeting
with us, when we're gonna have time on the field,
and our coaches, Coach Miless, Coach Perkins, those guys have
done a great job. And coach Les Gary uh in
(12:11):
the meetings, they've done a great job playing and everything
out with his meeting time and then having the stuff
ready to go on the field so we can do
you know, feet meets and walk and talks with him
in between. If he's available, I.
Speaker 3 (12:23):
Would be going around a lot of great football players.
Speaker 4 (12:26):
When you see the three wide receivers going up against
your defense, is this some moong or if not the
fastest group of wide receivers. It's a great group and
they are hard working dudes, you know, like they're they
challenge it in practice, so you you couldn't get a
better situation, you know, if you're a defensive player than
we have here again the opportunity to play against great
(12:47):
players every day. So they really are. It's a great group.
It's a special group of guys.
Speaker 5 (12:53):
To have a guy like Eric Carlein said in the
building in the defense just being able.
Speaker 3 (12:57):
To carry the guys along the wad.
Speaker 4 (12:59):
Yeah, take Eric Scott as you know, you know, it's
like Walter pay Man of the Year, the whole thing.
He's got great leadership qualities and the people in the
locker room, people look up to Eric because won his
consistency and performance and just his personality is that of
a guy that wants to help other people, you know,
So that that is as a coach, it's a great
(13:20):
thing to have, you know what I mean. And a
guy that you can obviously is always going to be
honest and that's where I was looking for, honest feedback
from coaches to players, players to coaches, and I think
he's done a great job with that. I appreciate you everything.
Thank you
