We're coming together pretty well. I think. UM. We just started over the last couple of days actually rotating guys in different spots. So where we had Nolan Carroll and Walter Thurman running with the ones, this pretty much the last couple of days they've been with the twos and we've gotten Chris Marrigos and Eric row up. UM. We've been able to put in a couple more packages with Nolan Carroll getting some reaps of the dime UM, a couple other guys in at the nickel position, with E. J.
Biggers rotating with the ones too. So we're moving around with a lot, with a lot of different guys to see, you know, all the situations, to get guys jelling with different different people, see how they communicate. UM. But when we had Maxwell, Nolan Carroll, myself and and I'll watch the Thurmond on the other side, the chemistry is there, and guys are veterans in this game play some football. UM. Communications great, We're flying around competitive UM and we're focusing
a lot more on the technique. So I think it's coming along well. How would especially pieces well, I think you bring in quality guys who want to win in our competitive and want to be the best. Um, it's easy to get along. I think everybody comes to work every day with a positive attitude. Uh, guys are thirsty to really play well, um and succeed and dominate. You know, we're not we're not happy with just you know, being
a little bit better than we were last year. We want to be the best in this league and every day we come out here, we're competing to do that. Bringing Bier and a lot of the young guys coming through the draft kind of dress for you or do you think there's growing pains in terms of get everybody on the same page. Uh? Yeah, I think I think there's always gonna be growing pains bringing in new guys. But I think we're further ahead than we planned to be at this point with all the new faces that
we have. I think we're actually as far as the game playing situation, we're a lot further ahead. And we were at at our last game last year. And so that's that's a testament to the coaching and to some of the guys that they've bring brought in. But there's always things, especially with the younger players, UM, just mistakes that they're gonna make. Um, you know that they are gonna have to learn and um so there's gonna be
some growing pains, but that's what training camps forward. That's why we we rotate the depth chart to make sure guys get reps not only with the twos but the ones. Um. So you get those quality reps against different quarterbacks, different receivers. Um. But I think right now, at this pace or at this point, we're ahead of pace as far as where we wanted to be as a secondary as a defense defense,
I don't think it does you. I mean, you still have Michael Kendricks and um Demiko Ryan's out there, you know, which is our starters last year, and you still got quality backups or Nag Good Emanueatro coming in and you get you know, other guys to come in, Um Jordan Hicks, all those guys get more reps and that's you know, that's that's good for us. And it's only two positions. We've got three starters at the position, so that that
rotation is going to be huge for us anyway. UM So right now, this early in Campa doesn't doesn't really affect us too much. Wow. I think the football part of it was very easy and very apparent as soon as he stepped in, and he's making plays left and right. I think over the offseason the biggest adjustment was the verbiage and UM kind of getting guys lined up, making the calls loud and UM making all the adjustments as a safety. UM. But this this training camp so far,
he's adjusted well. He's making the calls. UM. They put him down the last couple of days with the twos just to rotate them. So now he's kind of the voice of that group, so he has to make all the calls, has to get everybody lined up, and I think he's done well. UM. So he's spitting in really well. He's definitely making plays. And as soon as that UM, that other piece, the leadership part and the signal calling kind of catches up, I think, I think be great.
He's competitive, he's big, he's long. UM. You know, we've we put him up with the ones the last couple of days, so you start to see some of the rookie mistakes when he's going against you know, some of
the top tier receivers. UM. But you know, he's definitely got the talent, he's got the do you want to to to be a player in this league, and you know, right now it's just about kind of throwing him in the fire and see what seeing what he can do, seeing how he responds, um, you know, after getting beat and realizing how that happens to everybody. But we're excited.
I think all of our young guys are playing well, um you know, and it's we got Denzel Rice is coming in, you know, undrafted and you know he's really jumped off a tape on special teams on on defense. Um, you got Jecord Shepherd just came in and played well. So we're excited about the young rookies we got there. They're playing hard, they're battling, um you know, and obviously they're gonna make some mistakes. Kind of. I think it's just everybody working collectively as a unit and from coaching
to players. So whereas last year we weren't always on the same page or how we saw different things, Different rooms saw different ways, I think collectively everybody sees the playbook and sees our scheme the same exact way, and we're developing it. You know, guys are coming up with different ways to play, certain techniques, and our coaches are being very receptive to that and making adjustments and keeping
us up to date on all the adjustments. So you know, being on the same page has allowed us to really develop the playbook and just having all the versa of the players that we have, you know, with having three start linebackers, you can create different packages. All our pretty much all of our dbs play multiple positions, whether it be the dime, the nickel, safety and corner, and so you can get creative with your package. Is there. So it just gives us so many different options, which just
expands our play book, which makes us better as a defense. Uh. Well, you know a lot of the things we've learned is you know, by fire basically. You know, we've learned through the years we've been in the league making mistakes, um, and they've really got to go through that process as well. So the biggest thing we can show them is some of the tricks of the trade, um, you know, coach them up on things that we see and how we
how we've made the game slow down for ourselves. And I think that's that's the biggest thing for young players. The games always seems a lot faster because you're not sure what you're looking at. You're looking at everything is moving fast and you don't know how to process at all. But the biggest thing we try to get them to do is just slow the pace of the game down, look at their keys, what they're supposed to have our eyes on, and just focus on our technique and uh
it usually it usually translates well for them. All right, I have now
