" For exports that come on learn -- sitting here with Tampa Bay Buccaneers middle linebacker -- gruden to Derrick Brooks had the title of the -- I'm curious if you've come up with a nickname yet they're calling you anything."
" No I'm far from that made if I can hang on this place for another. Century years maybe maybe don't get a title like that that the dot was a well earned a title for Hammond I. Alike they muscles still young yet I don't quite old enough that any titles on -- yeah."
" The compliment and you've kind of cut anointed as the leader you took it as I was kind of -- truth it was a it was a young as a group of items. I'm looking -- everybody in to make a big deal -- year outside of this building in terms of a case veterans are gone on and now Barrett has been anointed the -- I don't know if there's an official torch ceremony. That the passing of the torch."
" Keep calling the plane you totally different last couple years yeah I got really have him I haven't been the guy -- or -- or as together would address the team in in the locker room that need to be here in the team meeting room. But all the feel like I -- it was -- the field last few years is a guy ran deep sense of and -- change that order this year. -- not I'm still a lot of you know big you know speech giving type guys saw. I'm not going to change my you know the way agilent business that much -- going to try to keep. You do want to do on the field you know lead by example off and hopefully that that you know there's all the leadership that these guys right here you know going to need. -- talent you know this locker room alone is is -- avoid going out with -- feel pretty good about the guys who haven't what they -- I think you know I felt pretty good about it you know and one thing you know with with -- he. You know who withdrew in charge he was you know also -- and there is -- majority of the time with the offense. In Mallory teams -- account about you know room to room and kind of get his face and everywhere and he doesn't have a title corner titles -- week ago. You know at each each group kind of you know put his. Say -- little peace river groups he's provide a lot of that you know leadership aren't there enough let's -- probably ahead guy and the other side. I don't think it's it's a pleasant distraction -- restored you know children a little bit but it's it's been taught he's he's -- good camp so far and you know I think I think we've we've what about you know this -- pretty pretty well."
" Isn't -- I'm friends with and mourning differently throughout your front with -- Any of -- is all of a sudden having seen him you know -- the last two years as a position coach to the cup well you know he he's got."
" Do he's got to put the hammered out a little bit more as as a head coach in what I mean by that is you know. Yes we the disciplinary and has been bad guys sometimes that and that that's the biggest difference in the way he coaches is the exact and I mean. You know you you've enemies are very likable outgoing fun guy the same time we as a coach. He's pretty no dog and he tells you like it is he's going to tell you get a bad player that practiced a bad game. Any -- as you know sugarcoat things giving he's going to let you know what he thinks but where -- plane. And you know he's caused lot of fun but now you know he is sort of you know give -- just -- of Rivers guided for a whole team so you know he's got to put the Baghdad a little bit more now but he still disabled."
" If at times and it's not saying anything negative about the regime but. To have."
" You know what the what they were changes good or bad always generated the -- refreshing I guess you know you always have something do it keeps your toes a little bit so. -- about the same figure you know you give them too much routine -- sometimes but you know you're cool wage here out how to change it goes."
" Season starts I so biggest change on the fence and I mean if I gave you a dollar for any time and you don't ask you about. The news deep offense that keen Richard JB --"
" I've been out player I've like go to the -- ya -- sit out adulterated that there's been a big question. You know what it is a different -- it's it's not as much. It's more a match matchup concept of body was a big zone. Watching the quarterback has more match that your man philosophy and down. You know what is the sound defense that's a good thing on defense where there's a -- like -- What we do that's what we do that we understand how work that's a good thing because. Here -- below Clinton modesty -- but yet -- Jim comes in. He he's run Saturday offenses that produce good good keepers too so. He's got to respect that you know he's got no flaws and Steve says it's -- says we got to pick it up when you most excited about -- You know what I'll -- I'm excited don't you know I a watcher training camp leader -- training camp that long. -- one beer's so long -- circling game I'm number edited games coming here as the arbitrary camped it's it's always a grind. Even new ones are yarder toes but it -- I'm I'm as excited --"
" That's what the change is good to go at least this way you know before you could probably on the mailing -- not that you ever did. They're expected it was almost a routinely now -- yeah. Have to mentally be stimulated."
" Exactly and any Noah and the goal always is to you know to have to be as successful he's round here for a long time. And we get back and retreated you know that's always an issue is yet to get yourself out of that that routine and and -- the season to you know when he gets that. Eighth third tenth game you know you -- the -- Frankfurt. Two months so you can't have the kind of stimulate yourself but. Yeah I mean the first thing Republicans were twos can't get that can happen in games."
" You can tell -- this new face when you say that there was sitting here with Byron Leftwich and he was talking about kind of what he heard coming in it was -- rebuilding rebuilding and then he's sitting there looking at the Austin he's like Edmonton there are some really good -- yet. So you. Kind of pay attention you hear what people say about the team who aren't here tell me what you -- year."
" Yeah I'm not devolution of bloggers and stuff and yeah a -- few of us down the -- But Leo like Biron said it mean you know in known Byron for example you know. He's he Byron Leftwich and about to forget that he's won twelve games as a starting quarterback you know he's a very experienced player. You know we -- Kellen Winslow now we got a great offensive line that was you know whether the office of Lions Lions last year in her ways back this year. Guthrie really good running back actually four brilliant running back you know. Young. He definitely you're always going to be losing. You know established veteran but the unity the goal is to have made that. You know just how to replace them that's that's were open for -- and that's -- a veteran and team for along the topic to have a little objection. It it is it's been you know and trust -- I love the old guys. I love I love being -- hear their stories and just hanging out but yet made a you know as a lot of energy now there's a lot of you know -- competition especially -- that -- times when. Yes very veteran team is not much competition because those guys are pretty established and -- to take care of them a little bit more as far as how much you practice them. But now others there's no hold back now a lot of competitions is on."
" I can think everything that you -- and -- your thoughts another. I I -- of this to a point six hold onto that we draw our."
