Cam Bidem, one of the big offseason acquisitions, joining us here at Grand Park in Westfield. So, Cam, first off, let's get right to this, and that is, you know, you were one of the big offseason acquisitions. I just talked about it. Welcome to Indianapolis. Do you already feel like you're a cold? It's only been a week. Let's be. Yes, I do. OTAs, right? Yeah, OTAs made it feel like I was a cult, just getting here, being able to meet the guys and be able to, you know, just be in the facility, being around other people, and just being able to meet the staff and just meeting everybody made me feel at home because they welcomed me with open arms. Nobody was, you know, everybody was just super welcoming and super cool about me being a new guy to the point where I only felt like a new guy for a couple of days. And once I started to, you know, familiarize myself, especially with the DBs, then start to grow with the defense and start to meet some guys on the offense. Then it feels like a family at this point. You know, I'm curious of this. I was just talking about this. This defense, and we don't really know yet. You guys obviously do. We do not yet know exactly how this defense is going to look when you have a new coordinator. But theoretically on paper, it is a defense that is similar to what you had under

Flores and Minnesota in the fact of kind of keeping people guessing, right? And presenting

different looks than what you're actually executing. Yes. How much of that, I guess first off,

is from what you've seen so far, how much of this feels like advantage for you because it's similar

to what you ran in Minnesota?

I would just say before anything right now, we're super basic with everything so we haven't

even progressed into the tricky stuff.

You know, we're still disguising just natural instincts, but it's still pretty vanilla.

It's only day three of training camp. But just talking to coach Lou and just getting to know his mindset and getting to

you know just hear him talk and watching film of the Bengals in the past years I see

exactly why people would say it's similar and I feel like it's very similar I think for me

it's that's an advantage too because just knowing that you know the foundation that I have from Coach Flores just being able to mix so many things up and every single person having to know every single position on the field, I think we can implement that to just have, you know, one of the smartest defenses in the league.

And when everybody gets to understand that, we can mix this defense up if everybody learns how to play each spot on the

defense and that can that can be a big plus because quarterbacks will never have a clue who's

where and why are they there and we're doing different things out of the same look so you're still

working on long division but you have yet to get into algebra exactly yep we're still adding

subtracting right now when do guys, or when would you anticipate

that that takes place? Maybe it's different from franchise to franchise, so it's hard for you to know,

but typically speaking, you'd like to kind of have a real feel for what you're going to be when.

Yeah, I'd probably say around two and a half weeks of training camp, once you get all the installs and all the play calls are in, then you can start throwing some more spice on each play call. So I think just going through it right now, we're, you know, still, we're only on install three because it's our third day. So we put in a good amount of coverages, but we know based off OTAs we're introduced to a lot of different things. So we haven't even touched the red zone yet. We haven't even touched two minute yet. So different situations. Once we hammer all those in, then we can add some more stuff on top of it. So it's, but once we have the foundation, everything else is easy. So you can put something in an hour before practice and we'd be able to run it. And that's really just the type

of guys that we have on this team, a bunch of smart guys and a bunch of people that care and that

have a good understanding of football and good football IQ to the point where once we have our
