| 0:00.0 | can't wait to get started on coaching him. Can you pull back some of the layers for the fans here? Like, what do you mean by that? What will you do? Like, what, when you see this kid, you will do what? He has such unique traits to him. And so we'll play a lot of zone where we'll have vision to the QB. And you can imagine this type of speed, this type of length to be able to close to the ball. |
| 0:23.1 | Although he hasn't blitzed a ton at Ohio State, you know, Reese was there as well. |
| 0:27.4 | And so the fact that we're going to also send this guy as a blitzer, so I think it's that kind of versatility, where we'll align him, how we can do that. |
| 0:36.0 | He's got the football acumen because of his time at safety that the coverage part of his game is intact. And so to see him unleashed in some new ways, that's going to be something that like, man, I very much look forward to being a part of. Do you possibly green dot them? Do you green dot them? In the practice, we'll certainly consider that. And a number of guys will have it during the |
| 0:57.4 | practice times, but he is definitely capable of that. And it's one of the nice things now with |
| 1:02.1 | the guys already doing that in college, Rich, that in the old days we'd wait, does he have the |
| 1:06.9 | leadership? Does he have that space? And so for him, he's the type of player that can |
| 1:11.5 | certainly handle that. The green dot, for those of you who don't know and most of you do, is just |
| 1:16.6 | the player that has the green dot on his helmet, which signifies he's the player that has the |
| 1:22.3 | mic in his helmet, and he's communicating with the play caller, the defensive coordinator, |
| 1:27.3 | the offensive coordinator, |
| 1:29.1 | a Bobby Wagner position. Yeah, you know, one of the things Quinn said last week is he kind of |
| 1:36.6 | referred to Sunny Stiles as an old soul and that he comes in super mature and, you know, if he ends up being that guy, and they didn't |
| 1:46.4 | have that guy. I mean, it could have been Jordan McGee. It could have been Will Harris. |
| 1:51.3 | It could have been, you know, Leo Chanel. It could have been one of those, but that's the right |
| 1:56.3 | spot for it. That's the right guy if he's capable of doing it as a young player. I think one of the |
| 2:03.2 | things that Quinn said that Adam Peters also said, so, you know, just trying to dig a little deep |
| 2:10.9 | into knowing what they were, you know, saying and how much of an emphasis should be put on what they said. The emphasis for |
| 2:19.9 | me is on him as a pass rusher. That's something that they believe he's going to be very good at |
| 2:26.9 | and that he'll be good at immediately. Younger players turn them loose. It's a lot easier typically than learning how to play |
| 2:36.5 | coverages from that spot. But he is, as Souter said, I mean, this will be a completely different |
| 2:43.2 | situation at linebacker for this team than it was last year because they've got a guy |
