Washington Huskies senior edge rusher Zach Durfee speaks during spring camp about his role heading into the 2024 season.
Transcript
00:00Yeah, no, I'm full clear to go.
00:03So we just gotta keep getting better at practice really, so that's it, yeah.
00:07Coaches seem to know who you are, I mean, they're not asking who you are.
00:11Yeah, I mean, I guess that doesn't really matter, it's just showing up every day and
00:16trying to get better, showing who I can be in practice.
00:19And this is technically your senior season, you're this other roster's senior?
00:24Yeah, so there's a chance I could get last year back and
00:28have an extra year, maybe even another one with the COVID stuff.
00:31But as it stands now, yes.
00:35What's been the biggest adjustment from just the coaching staff last year to this
00:38year in terms of scheme or anything like that?
00:40That's a good question.
00:44Biggest adjustment, I'd just say the schedule change.
00:47Being an afternoon versus mornings,
00:48that's probably the biggest difference that stands out to me.
00:52Which do you prefer?
00:53Hmm, they both have such pros and cons, so I don't even know.
00:59I don't have an app, but if we're doing this right now, I prefer this.
01:02In terms of what they're asking you to do individually and
01:05the head rushers as a group, is it mostly the same things?
01:09Do you have more responsibilities?
01:11I'd say it's quite a bit different.
01:13I think we had a lot more responsibility with some certain calls and
01:16stuff last year.
01:17This year's more maybe get vertical and stuff, but I mean,
01:20it's relatively the same.
01:21You gotta set the edge, you gotta control that side of the run game.
01:23But I mean, we're more on a four out this year too, so it's a little different.
