00:00:24,320 --> 00:00:25,200
Speaker 2: you built those teams.

11
00:00:26,800 --> 00:00:28,920
Speaker 1: I don't know it sky's limit for us as a team,

12
00:00:29,000 --> 00:00:32,360
Speaker 1: and you know, missing those two guys were a big

13
00:00:32,400 --> 00:00:34,599
Speaker 1: thing for us. Uh, but having them back, you can

14
00:00:34,640 --> 00:00:37,360
Speaker 1: tell by the energy that Judn't brings. It's it's just

15
00:00:37,400 --> 00:00:40,800
Speaker 1: straight comedy. But uh, it's exciting to see what what

16
00:00:40,840 --> 00:00:43,280
Speaker 1: we can create. So right now we're just trying to

17
00:00:43,320 --> 00:00:45,599
Speaker 1: build our foundation and uh we'll we'll take it from

18
00:00:45,640 --> 00:00:48,200
Speaker 1: There's a lot of questions, a lot to talk about

19
00:00:48,240 --> 00:00:52,159
Speaker 1: contracts these days. I how do you feel given your

20
00:00:52,200 --> 00:00:53,159
Speaker 1: own situation? Now?

21
00:00:55,600 --> 00:00:57,800
Speaker 2: I feel good, but I'm not I'm never satisfied.

22
00:00:58,000 --> 00:01:01,120
Speaker 1: You know, I'm not gonna playing football for long, so

23
00:01:01,160 --> 00:01:04,319
Speaker 1: I'm gonna keep playing the way I can and and

24
00:01:04,360 --> 00:01:09,200
Speaker 1: hopefully I get rewarded anytime I do well. So you know,

25
00:01:09,360 --> 00:01:12,200
Speaker 1: it's it's wonderful to see that they wanted me to

26
00:01:12,240 --> 00:01:14,160
Speaker 1: stay in. You know, I'm gonna do everything I can

27
00:01:14,200 --> 00:01:16,200
Speaker 1: to prove to them that I'm worthy of being here

28
00:01:16,720 --> 00:01:17,120
Speaker 1: this place.

29
00:01:17,600 --> 00:01:21,600
Speaker 2: This defense has been the right fifth for giving you

30
00:01:21,640 --> 00:01:22,240
Speaker 2: the opportunity.

31
00:01:23,400 --> 00:01:25,240
Speaker 1: I don't know, they just love football players, and I

32
00:01:25,280 --> 00:01:27,720
Speaker 1: find myself being a full player and you know, I'm

33
00:01:27,760 --> 00:01:30,880
Speaker 1: just here, so I'm not sure about that question, But

34
00:01:31,800 --> 00:01:37,000
Speaker 1: they just love football players. So yeah, yeah, yeah, it's different.

35
00:01:37,040 --> 00:01:38,080
Speaker 2: It's a different vibe, of course.

36
00:01:38,200 --> 00:01:41,280
Speaker 1: You know, you can see a lot of people smiling

37
00:01:41,280 --> 00:01:45,160
Speaker 1: nowadays and laughing and giggling. But I think I think

38
00:01:45,160 --> 00:01:47,480
Speaker 1: it's just still comes down to playing football. You know.

39
00:01:47,520 --> 00:01:49,960
Speaker 1: We're out here playing football, the game that we love,

40
00:01:50,000 --> 00:01:55,680
Speaker 1: and hopefully we just you know, create that team chemistry

41
00:01:55,720 --> 00:01:58,280
Speaker 1: that we we want to have built like coming into

42
00:01:58,280 --> 00:01:58,680
Speaker 1: the season.

43
00:01:58,840 --> 00:02:01,240
Speaker 2: So Todays Day one and then we'll take it from there.

44
00:02:01,840 --> 00:02:03,680
Speaker 2: It seems like you've gotten better every year since you've

45
00:02:03,680 --> 00:02:05,240
Speaker 2: got here. When it comes to this season, what are

46
00:02:05,280 --> 00:02:07,400
Speaker 2: you looking to improve up? Everything?

47
00:02:07,840 --> 00:02:10,000
Speaker 1: Like I said, I'm not satisfied with anything, you know,

48
00:02:10,400 --> 00:02:12,480
Speaker 1: last year was last year, and I have to make

49
00:02:12,520 --> 00:02:14,960
Speaker 1: sure that I do as good or even better than

50
00:02:14,960 --> 00:02:17,320
Speaker 1: I did. So I think the biggest thing that I

51
00:02:17,360 --> 00:02:20,600
Speaker 1: always come into camp is uh making sure that my

52
00:02:20,600 --> 00:02:23,359
Speaker 1: eyes are good and my communications on point. So That's

53
00:02:23,360 --> 00:02:25,639
Speaker 1: where I'm going to start, and then I'll build from there.

54
00:02:25,919 --> 00:02:28,360
Speaker 2: And you're working through some things in the spring. How

55
00:02:28,400 --> 00:02:30,960
Speaker 2: are you feeling physically now? Is I feel good? I

56
00:02:30,960 --> 00:02:32,959
Speaker 2: feel good. It was nice, Like I said, it was

57
00:02:33,040 --> 00:02:33,840
Speaker 2: nice being out here.

58
00:02:34,440 --> 00:02:36,359
Speaker 1: I felt like a kid again just day one to

59
00:02:36,400 --> 00:02:39,920
Speaker 1: school and uh, just getting to run around with the guys.

60
00:02:41,000 --> 00:02:45,000
Speaker 1: Responsibility to be veterans, hon esteem like yourself take especially

61
00:02:45,000 --> 00:02:48,600
Speaker 1: with this transition, new head coach, different kind of energy

62
00:02:49,080 --> 00:02:50,880
Speaker 1: in kind of setting up foundation.

63
00:02:50,639 --> 00:02:51,239
Speaker 2: To be part of it.

64
00:02:51,400 --> 00:02:53,360
Speaker 1: I mean, it's just the buying, you know, especially with

65
00:02:53,400 --> 00:02:55,360
Speaker 1: the new guys who are coming in and the rookies.

66
00:02:55,960 --> 00:02:57,799
Speaker 1: We're trying to show them the way that we want

67
00:02:57,800 --> 00:03:00,480
Speaker 1: to formulate this team and the way.

68
00:03:00,320 --> 00:03:01,120
Speaker 2: That we've always done it.

69
00:03:01,160 --> 00:03:04,640
Speaker 1: And you know hopefully that as vets we can uh

70
00:03:05,000 --> 00:03:07,400
Speaker 1: you know, bring guys along and show them the ropes,

71
00:03:08,000 --> 00:03:10,560
Speaker 1: especially our rookies. You know, we have we have faith

72
00:03:10,560 --> 00:03:14,359
Speaker 1: in everybody that the guys either they drafted or or

73
00:03:14,600 --> 00:03:16,880
Speaker 1: brought in as free agents. So all we have to

74
00:03:16,880 --> 00:03:18,720
Speaker 1: do is vets is just make sure that they're on

75
00:03:18,760 --> 00:03:24,720
Speaker 1: point where everything and and that we don't miss a step.

76
00:03:29,480 --> 00:03:31,520
Speaker 1: I'm not sure today's my first day really seeing him

77
00:03:31,520 --> 00:03:35,320
Speaker 1: out there, since I wasn't around during OTIS, but it

78
00:03:35,360 --> 00:03:38,120
Speaker 1: was good to see him command and control of the offense,

79
00:03:38,280 --> 00:03:41,240
Speaker 1: and uh, I'm looking forward to seeing what tomorrow brings to.

80
00:03:43,280 --> 00:03:45,920
Speaker 2: Do there In the end, how badly would you like

81
00:03:46,000 --> 00:03:47,880
Speaker 2: to see him? Say he's under contract?

82
00:03:48,640 --> 00:03:51,840
Speaker 1: Man, June is a dog, you know, like it'd be

83
00:03:51,840 --> 00:03:54,680
Speaker 1: great to see him stay. But you know, this is

84
00:03:54,680 --> 00:03:58,080
Speaker 1: a business and I can't control anything for right now.

85
00:03:58,240 --> 00:04:01,040
Speaker 1: I can control one step in there, and he's in

86
00:04:01,080 --> 00:04:03,280
Speaker 1: the locker room. I can dab him up and and

87
00:04:03,320 --> 00:04:05,200
Speaker 1: you know we can we can talk football and everything.

88
00:04:05,240 --> 00:04:07,840
Speaker 1: But other than that stuff that's out of my control.

89
00:04:08,160 --> 00:04:10,120
Speaker 1: Of course, I would love for him to be here.

90
00:04:10,520 --> 00:04:12,040
Speaker 1: It's great to have him as a teammate. And he's

91
00:04:12,120 --> 00:04:13,200
Speaker 1: just a great human.

92
00:04:13,040 --> 00:04:18,800
Speaker 2: Being, another guy you never really playing.

93
00:04:19,640 --> 00:04:23,520
Speaker 1: He's been through adversity here a couple of different seasons

94
00:04:23,640 --> 00:04:26,000
Speaker 1: and overtime. What stands out about him?

95
00:04:26,520 --> 00:04:28,720
Speaker 2: Anything you want you just said it yourself.

96
00:04:28,760 --> 00:04:32,159
Speaker 1: You know, he's he's been fighting and he like for him,

97
00:04:32,279 --> 00:04:35,919
Speaker 1: it's he never quits. And he's one of the guys

98
00:04:35,920 --> 00:04:38,560
Speaker 1: who what we were speaking on is the vets that

99
00:04:38,760 --> 00:04:41,640
Speaker 1: try and bring along anybody who's who's new to the team.

100
00:04:41,880 --> 00:04:43,840
Speaker 1: So I'll give him so much credit for that because

101
00:04:43,920 --> 00:04:46,239
Speaker 1: he is one of the leaders on our defense. Whether

102
00:04:46,800 --> 00:04:49,080
Speaker 1: whether or not nobody sees him that way, I do.

103
00:04:50,240 --> 00:04:51,880
Speaker 1: So it's great to have a guy like that in

104
00:04:51,920 --> 00:04:54,120
Speaker 1: our in our room and on our defense because he

105
00:04:54,240 --> 00:04:56,360
Speaker 1: knows how to glue the things together.

106
00:04:57,240 --> 00:04:59,200
Speaker 2: When it comes to your role, You've probably been staying

107
00:04:59,240 --> 00:05:02,239
Speaker 2: with Nicol and potentially see you play some more guidance season.

108
00:05:03,400 --> 00:05:05,880
Speaker 1: That's the goal, you know, going back to not being satisfied.

109
00:05:05,920 --> 00:05:07,320
Speaker 1: That was one thing that I was striving to do

110
00:05:07,360 --> 00:05:09,440
Speaker 1: and this is where I get to do it.

111
00:05:09,480 --> 00:05:09,640
Speaker 2: You know.

112
00:05:09,680 --> 00:05:12,880
Speaker 1: That's what training counts for in preseason to showcase everything

113
00:05:12,880 --> 00:05:14,680
Speaker 1: I can do. So I'm going to do everything my

114
00:05:14,720 --> 00:05:18,080
Speaker 1: ability to make sure that I come in and do

115
00:05:18,160 --> 00:05:19,240
Speaker 1: what's best for the team.

116
00:05:19,839 --> 00:05:20,599
Speaker 2: Yeah, thank you.
