00:00 >> I think you look at it, he's got a nice skill set in terms of rushing the passer
00:05 and doing those things.
00:05 But I think when you look at the way he prepares himself, the way he works,
00:10 his motor, he's got all the intangible stuff that helps guys grow really fast in
00:14 these type of environments.
00:15 And I think that's why he's been able to transition so well.
00:18 >> With him now in the fold and then others,
00:22 just it seems like you have more depth at the edge rusher position than before.
00:25 How do you think that'll show itself on Sundays or
00:27 how you work some of those other guys in beyond just TJ and Alex?
00:31 >> Well, I think we feel right now we feel pretty good about our edge depth.
00:37 Marcus Golden is a proven vet and I like what he's been doing.
00:41 Nick's showing it right now in the practice games and
00:44 we gotta see if he can take that to the regular season.
00:46 But I feel better about that position.
00:50 I feel that those guys, Alex and TJ,
00:54 they'll have somebody to give them a spell, quality work behind them.
00:59 And give us some quality play.
01:00 So I feel a little bit better, Max, I feel a lot better about that position.
