You know, I think obviously just what we've built 11 00:00:27,320 --> 00:00:29,960 Speaker 2: in them for the last you know, five years, and 12 00:00:30,040 --> 00:00:31,880 Speaker 2: so you know, it's it's been great. I like what 13 00:00:31,880 --> 00:00:34,879 Speaker 2: we're building there. And obviously I would say at this 14 00:00:35,000 --> 00:00:38,199 Speaker 2: point in my career, obviously financials were important to me. 15 00:00:39,040 --> 00:00:40,879 Speaker 2: I would be lying if I didn't say otherwise. But 16 00:00:40,960 --> 00:00:43,920 Speaker 2: you know, I think, I think what we're what we 17 00:00:44,000 --> 00:00:45,640 Speaker 2: have going on, and you know, every year is a 18 00:00:45,680 --> 00:00:47,880 Speaker 2: new year. We obviously have This is a new year. 19 00:00:47,920 --> 00:00:49,760 Speaker 2: It's not we can't live off of last year in 20 00:00:49,800 --> 00:00:53,279 Speaker 2: our AFT title game, you know, debut, whatever we have to. 21 00:00:53,360 --> 00:00:56,360 Speaker 2: It's a new year where we got to set the 22 00:00:56,400 --> 00:00:59,160 Speaker 2: table right and get going, get to work. Justin. 23 00:00:59,200 --> 00:01:01,680 Speaker 4: You guys are fourteen three last year number one seed 24 00:01:02,240 --> 00:01:05,440 Speaker 4: in the AFC, and you brought a lot of guys back, 25 00:01:05,560 --> 00:01:09,200 Speaker 4: and you know, I just wonder if it's challenging, how 26 00:01:09,319 --> 00:01:12,840 Speaker 4: challenging is it to balance what you know about the 27 00:01:12,880 --> 00:01:14,760 Speaker 4: locker room, what you know about what you have and 28 00:01:14,800 --> 00:01:17,600 Speaker 4: those guys who get resigned, and what the public things, 29 00:01:17,640 --> 00:01:20,600 Speaker 4: what the fans think, what the Internet things. When when 30 00:01:20,640 --> 00:01:22,400 Speaker 4: you sign a guy that you know has been balling 31 00:01:22,480 --> 00:01:24,840 Speaker 4: for you, but the internet has a has another idea 32 00:01:24,920 --> 00:01:26,760 Speaker 4: of what you guys should do, do you pay attention 33 00:01:26,800 --> 00:01:27,039 Speaker 4: to that? 34 00:01:27,360 --> 00:01:28,240 Speaker 3: How do you balance it? 35 00:01:29,760 --> 00:01:32,160 Speaker 2: Yeah? You know, I think obviously with today's day and 36 00:01:32,200 --> 00:01:34,600 Speaker 2: age of internet and everything, there's there's a lot out 37 00:01:34,640 --> 00:01:36,679 Speaker 2: there and a lot of people have their own opinions 38 00:01:36,720 --> 00:01:40,000 Speaker 2: on things. But I think, you know, there's people that 39 00:01:40,080 --> 00:01:41,920 Speaker 2: get paid to play, and there's people that get paid 40 00:01:41,959 --> 00:01:44,640 Speaker 2: to also. You know, look at the talent and look 41 00:01:44,640 --> 00:01:46,200 Speaker 2: at what's being done on film on a day to 42 00:01:46,240 --> 00:01:48,640 Speaker 2: day basis and go from there. And I think all 43 00:01:48,680 --> 00:01:51,680 Speaker 2: the guys that we brought back, or you know, all 44 00:01:51,720 --> 00:01:54,720 Speaker 2: the moves we've made are obviously moves at our front office, 45 00:01:54,760 --> 00:01:56,840 Speaker 2: and are the people in our organization think helped this 46 00:01:56,880 --> 00:01:59,760 Speaker 2: football team, and I think they've proven, you know, that 47 00:02:00,080 --> 00:02:02,400 Speaker 2: things are heading in the right direction here in Denver, 48 00:02:02,440 --> 00:02:04,560 Speaker 2: and I think we're going to continue to build out that. 49 00:02:05,280 --> 00:02:07,200 Speaker 1: How proud are you of the fact that your your 50 00:02:07,240 --> 00:02:09,840 Speaker 1: career is a testament to a guy who got drafted 51 00:02:09,840 --> 00:02:12,120 Speaker 1: a little bit later. But did you work his way 52 00:02:12,200 --> 00:02:14,280 Speaker 1: up to doing this? I mean, you know, you get 53 00:02:14,280 --> 00:02:17,360 Speaker 1: fifth round draft pick, you're available most of the season, 54 00:02:17,400 --> 00:02:19,960 Speaker 1: you finally start getting some some real quality starts over 55 00:02:20,000 --> 00:02:22,160 Speaker 1: the last couple of seasons, and you know, in the 56 00:02:22,240 --> 00:02:24,720 Speaker 1: late twenties, turned into somebody that looks like they're a 57 00:02:24,800 --> 00:02:26,000 Speaker 1: starter in this league. 58 00:02:26,000 --> 00:02:27,520 Speaker 2: You've known have you known that all along? 59 00:02:27,560 --> 00:02:28,519 Speaker 1: And how proud are you. 60 00:02:28,400 --> 00:02:32,240 Speaker 3: Of achieving that?

I've had some points in my career, 64 00:02:42,160 --> 00:02:44,639 Speaker 2: especially you know, my early years in Denver, where I 65 00:02:44,680 --> 00:02:46,840 Speaker 2: would say things didn't go the way I wanted them to. 66 00:02:47,040 --> 00:02:50,120 Speaker 2: And you know, I was young, and that's that's no 67 00:02:50,200 --> 00:02:52,120 Speaker 2: excuse for me, but I you know, I just felt 68 00:02:52,120 --> 00:02:55,240 Speaker 2: like I didn't take advantage of those opportunities at that time. 69 00:02:55,280 --> 00:02:58,200 Speaker 2: And you know this year, and you know, in the 70 00:02:58,240 --> 00:03:01,600 Speaker 2: previous couple of years, just being you for that opportunity 71 00:03:01,800 --> 00:03:03,919 Speaker 2: and making the most of it and just putting in 72 00:03:03,960 --> 00:03:06,440 Speaker 2: the work day in day out, off season or in season, 73 00:03:06,520 --> 00:03:08,440 Speaker 2: you know, kind of dedicating my life to this game 74 00:03:08,520 --> 00:03:11,280 Speaker 2: and for it to pay off is obviously. I'm very 75 00:03:11,280 --> 00:03:12,240 Speaker 2: blessed and very thankful. 76 00:03:12,880 --> 00:03:14,960 Speaker 3: Hey, justin the final question for me, and it's on 77 00:03:15,000 --> 00:03:16,800 Speaker 3: the opposite side of the ball, but what were your 78 00:03:16,800 --> 00:03:20,440 Speaker 3: initial thoughts when you found out that Jalen Wattle was 79 00:03:20,480 --> 00:03:21,120 Speaker 3: coming to town? 80 00:03:23,440 --> 00:03:27,640 Speaker 2: Very excited, man, Very excited. He's obviously a dynamic playmaker 81 00:03:28,240 --> 00:03:30,600 Speaker 2: in the league and has been that, you know, since 82 00:03:30,639 --> 00:03:33,600 Speaker 2: his Alabama days, and I think that's something that our 83 00:03:33,600 --> 00:03:37,800 Speaker 2: offense will obviously benefit from. And you know, bringing that 84 00:03:37,840 --> 00:03:40,800 Speaker 2: move obviously, I think is a huge move for us 85 00:03:40,840 --> 00:03:42,800 Speaker 2: as a as a team, in our offense, and I'm 86 00:03:42,840 --> 00:03:45,920 Speaker 2: just excited to see it. You know, kind of us 87 00:03:46,080 --> 00:03:48,360 Speaker 2: developed that with Davis calling the plays and you know, 88 00:03:48,440 --> 00:03:50,760 Speaker 2: both coming back from the injury and everything. Just really 89 00:03:50,840 --> 00:03:53,480 Speaker 2: excited to see it all come together and for all 90 00:03:53,560 --> 00:03:55,000 Speaker 2: of us to get back there and start getting to 91 00:03:55,040 --> 00:03:56,200 Speaker 2: work each and every day. 92 00:03:57,040 --> 00:04:00,240 Speaker 5: Justin, could you talk a little bit about Davis from 93 00:04:00,280 --> 00:04:03,640 Speaker 5: your perspective as a defensive player, what you see from 94 00:04:03,720 --> 00:04:06,600 Speaker 5: him every day. You know, we know he's an up 95 00:04:06,640 --> 00:04:09,120 Speaker 5: and comer. We know they you know, the team, the 96 00:04:09,240 --> 00:04:11,760 Speaker 5: organization thinks a lot of him. Obviously, we haven't heard 97 00:04:11,840 --> 00:04:14,000 Speaker 5: much from him because he hasn't you know, been in 98 00:04:14,000 --> 00:04:16,800 Speaker 5: a position to call plays and being oc yet. But 99 00:04:17,120 --> 00:04:19,400 Speaker 5: what are your impressions of Davis Webb? What makes him 100 00:04:19,440 --> 00:04:19,960 Speaker 5: so special? 101 00:04:21,720 --> 00:04:24,240 Speaker 2: Yeah? I just think first and foremost, I think he 102 00:04:24,240 --> 00:04:27,400 Speaker 2: does a great job of, you know, having he obviously 103 00:04:27,480 --> 00:04:30,000 Speaker 2: is a little younger, and as he's played with some 104 00:04:30,080 --> 00:04:31,839 Speaker 2: guys you know in the league, so he has that 105 00:04:32,200 --> 00:04:34,200 Speaker 2: I think relationship with some of the players where like 106 00:04:34,240 --> 00:04:36,600 Speaker 2: he can you know, interact and relate to them a 107 00:04:36,600 --> 00:04:38,960 Speaker 2: little more, you know, day in day out. Not that 108 00:04:39,160 --> 00:04:41,520 Speaker 2: other coaches can't, but you know, just that age difference. 109 00:04:41,560 --> 00:04:44,240 Speaker 2: And then I think also he's he's been in the 110 00:04:44,360 --> 00:04:47,680 Speaker 2: you know, this new era of offense and just he 111 00:04:48,040 --> 00:04:50,160 Speaker 2: I think he'll be able to just I obviously we 112 00:04:50,400 --> 00:04:52,240 Speaker 2: none of us have seen him call plays yet and 113 00:04:52,279 --> 00:04:54,800 Speaker 2: things like that, but him being that young mind and 114 00:04:55,279 --> 00:04:58,560 Speaker 2: you know playing and I think he played in Buffalo obviously, 115 00:04:58,680 --> 00:05:01,000 Speaker 2: and those guys I think obviously do a job on offense. 116 00:05:02,240 --> 00:05:04,000 Speaker 2: Just in general, I think he's gonna have some things 117 00:05:04,000 --> 00:05:05,960 Speaker 2: he can implement that will help us in a big way. 118 00:05:06,000 --> 00:05:08,200 Speaker 2: And you know, just like you guys, I'm excited to 119 00:05:08,240 --> 00:05:11,239 Speaker 2: see it, excited to practice against it, to be honest 120 00:05:11,240 --> 00:05:11,520 Speaker 2: with you. 121 00:05:11,960 --> 00:05:15,520 Speaker 1: David Broncos inside linebacker Justin stern Our last question here, Justin, 122 00:05:15,560 --> 00:05:18,919 Speaker 1: You've been through three head coaching changes with the Denver 123 00:05:18,960 --> 00:05:21,680 Speaker 1: Broncos and this this offseason has been interesting.
