LB Jordyn Brooks

(You’ve been here for a couple of days now. How would you assess today’s session?) – “It was a good day today. I think we started off a little slow yesterday as expected. The first day everybody is getting used to the calls, used to each other. I thought today we made improvements.”

(Why was it important for you to be out here today with it being voluntary?) – “For me it’s like I got to get to know the guys that I’m playing with, get to know the system and let them get to know me. It was important that I be here, it was mandatory for me. I’m glad I came, I’m enjoying it.”

(What have you learned about the new defensive system?) – “We’ve got a bunch of calls. A bunch of calls, with a bunch of calls within the call. It takes time to learn those things, but I like what we’ve got going. I like the scheme. I’m excited about it.”

(What has Defensive Coordinator Anthony Weaver been like to work with? What have you seen from him as a coach?) – “He’s been great, man. He’s been a great leader for us so far. Very smart, high football IQ as you would expect. I’m excited to play for him.”

(You mentioned it’s mandatory for you to be out here. How important is that for the communication for you LB David Long Jr. and LB Anthony Walker Jr., and the rest of the linebackers?) – “It’s important. Any linebacker that you play with, you’ve got to be able to stream with each other. This is the time to get that chemistry going between David and I so that when the season get’s going we can hit the ground running.”

(I saw you guys running the deep look drops in individuals. How much does this offense stress the ability to get vertical as a linebacker?) – “A bunch. They do a bunch of play action. We got to play the boot routes. The special routes and all of that. That’s why you see us drilling it today.”

(Even though they are not out there, we saw LB Bradley Chubb, and Jaelan Phillips out there talking to guys. That’s pretty impressive to be out here even though they are injured they are out here. What does that say about the type of teammates they are?) – “I think it’s awesome. We’ve got some young guys trying to fill their shoes right now while they are out. Their presence is big for them. Also the team. They are a big part of this team’s success over the last couple of years. So just their presence is enough right now.”

(Are there any early head coach Mike McDaniel impressions? Don’t impersonate him, but what are your thoughts?) – “I don’t have any impressions. But he is different for sure. I think everybody kind of knows that. I like his style though. He’s real and he’s true to himself. He allows everybody else to be that way. I think that helps guys play better and play faster. Just being able to be comfortable with who they are.”
