Speaker 1: Welcome into a very special next man up Commander's family,

7
00:00:18,320 --> 00:00:19,239
Speaker 1: It's a pleasure to have you.

8
00:00:19,280 --> 00:00:19,440
Speaker 2: Bro.

9
00:00:19,520 --> 00:00:21,800
Speaker 1: You just put pen to paper. How does it feel

10
00:00:21,840 --> 00:00:22,560
Speaker 1: to be a Commander?

11
00:00:22,800 --> 00:00:25,280
Speaker 2: It feels good. You know, I've been in the league.

12
00:00:25,640 --> 00:00:28,040
Speaker 3: What's going on my fifteenth year, so you know a

13
00:00:28,120 --> 00:00:31,760
Speaker 3: little bit about every team. This team is a really

14
00:00:31,800 --> 00:00:36,159
Speaker 3: good team. Janey Daniels is a really good quarterback. Young quarterback,

15
00:00:36,200 --> 00:00:38,560
Speaker 3: but he's really really good man. And I've been blessed

16
00:00:38,600 --> 00:00:40,519
Speaker 3: to play with some good ones from Peyton Manning and

17
00:00:40,640 --> 00:00:43,720
Speaker 3: Matthew Stafford to Josh Allen. You know, you just can't

18
00:00:43,800 --> 00:00:46,520
Speaker 3: leave those guys and go to anybody. So I think

19
00:00:46,680 --> 00:00:49,519
Speaker 3: Jaden Daniels is going to be on the list with

20
00:00:49,600 --> 00:00:51,120
Speaker 3: those same guys in the future.

21
00:00:51,400 --> 00:00:53,080
Speaker 1: And we know a guy like Jaden Daniels would make

22
00:00:53,080 --> 00:00:55,240
Speaker 1: anybody want to play here. Right But in year fifteen,

23
00:00:55,560 --> 00:00:57,680
Speaker 1: when you've done it all, when you have that future

24
00:00:57,720 --> 00:01:00,960
Speaker 1: Hall of fame career. What makes you say I'm gonna

25
00:01:01,000 --> 00:01:02,720
Speaker 1: take my talents to Virginia, to the d m V

26
00:01:03,080 --> 00:01:04,280
Speaker 1: and play for the Commanders.

27
00:01:04,400 --> 00:01:07,400
Speaker 3: I think, you know, it all started with the potential

28
00:01:07,400 --> 00:01:08,920
Speaker 3: of this team.

29
00:01:09,319 --> 00:01:10,440
Speaker 2: You know, I had felt.

30
00:01:10,120 --> 00:01:12,679
Speaker 3: Like I had known Dan Quinn for a long time

31
00:01:12,840 --> 00:01:15,560
Speaker 3: and I had just met him, like, you know, a

32
00:01:15,640 --> 00:01:16,720
Speaker 3: month and a half ago.

33
00:01:16,800 --> 00:01:18,080
Speaker 2: But I had felt like I haven't known them.

34
00:01:18,160 --> 00:01:20,400
Speaker 3: All the guys that have played for them, they rave

35
00:01:20,440 --> 00:01:24,360
Speaker 3: about them, they love them. And when I was presenting

36
00:01:24,400 --> 00:01:26,800
Speaker 3: with the opportunity to come here, I couldn't.

37
00:01:26,840 --> 00:01:27,920
Speaker 2: I couldn't resist, man.

38
00:01:28,000 --> 00:01:30,520
Speaker 3: And you know, this team has a lot of potential,

39
00:01:31,400 --> 00:01:32,520
Speaker 3: and I just wanted to add to that.

40
00:01:32,600 --> 00:01:34,160
Speaker 2: I just wanted to be a part of the culture.

41
00:01:34,520 --> 00:01:36,920
Speaker 3: I'm a team guy, you know, I don't like to

42
00:01:37,000 --> 00:01:39,240
Speaker 3: too my own horn, but when it comes to being

43
00:01:39,240 --> 00:01:41,119
Speaker 3: one of the guys, like I'm I'm the.

44
00:01:41,080 --> 00:01:41,600
Speaker 2: Best at it.

45
00:01:41,880 --> 00:01:43,840
Speaker 3: I'm the best at blending in, I'm the best at

46
00:01:43,880 --> 00:01:47,160
Speaker 3: getting the guys together, vibing with the guys, bringing the

47
00:01:47,200 --> 00:01:49,240
Speaker 3: locker room together, like, I'm the best at that.

48
00:01:49,320 --> 00:01:52,080
Speaker 2: It ain't nobody around the league that do that better

49
00:01:52,120 --> 00:01:52,360
Speaker 2: than me.

50
00:01:52,480 --> 00:01:54,200
Speaker 3: And you know, I've heard about this team and the

51
00:01:54,240 --> 00:01:55,880
Speaker 3: type of culture they have, and I wanted to ask

52
00:01:55,920 --> 00:01:56,640
Speaker 3: you that I.

53
00:01:56,560 --> 00:01:57,440
Speaker 1: Love that confidence.

54
00:01:57,440 --> 00:01:57,600
Speaker 2: Man.

55
00:01:57,640 --> 00:01:59,400
Speaker 1: Even just saying that just now, it sounds I feel

56
00:01:59,400 --> 00:01:59,720
Speaker 1: like I'm.

57
00:01:59,600 --> 00:02:01,040
Speaker 2: Talking to Joe with Junior guy.

58
00:02:01,200 --> 00:02:02,880
Speaker 1: Now, Joe June has only been the deeps of coordinator

59
00:02:02,920 --> 00:02:05,920
Speaker 1: for one season, However, I think he's well known around

60
00:02:05,960 --> 00:02:08,560
Speaker 1: this league. Man, how do you see yourself fitting in

61
00:02:08,680 --> 00:02:11,280
Speaker 1: what's already working here in that Joe with Junior system.

62
00:02:11,600 --> 00:02:13,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, you know, I'm here to your sex.

63
00:02:13,560 --> 00:02:16,040
Speaker 3: You know, I'm here to add to the past rush.

64
00:02:16,160 --> 00:02:18,400
Speaker 3: I'm you know, and I'm here to do whatever it

65
00:02:18,440 --> 00:02:21,280
Speaker 3: takes to win the game. You know, whatever it takes

66
00:02:21,280 --> 00:02:25,079
Speaker 3: to win. You know, if that's uh blitzing him, that's

67
00:02:25,120 --> 00:02:27,480
Speaker 3: playing and run, if that's sacking the quarterback, I'm here

68
00:02:27,480 --> 00:02:30,720
Speaker 3: to do it. Been in the league fifteen years and

69
00:02:30,760 --> 00:02:33,359
Speaker 3: it's nothing better than a locker room after a big win.

70
00:02:34,080 --> 00:02:37,200
Speaker 3: And that's that's why I'm here. I'm here to you know,

71
00:02:37,200 --> 00:02:39,080
Speaker 3: the vibe in the locker room and celebrating the locker

72
00:02:39,160 --> 00:02:41,160
Speaker 3: room after big wins. You know, all wins are great,

73
00:02:41,160 --> 00:02:43,680
Speaker 3: but the big ones, you know, the big ones in December,

74
00:02:43,800 --> 00:02:46,120
Speaker 3: January and February, you know, That's why I'm.

75
00:02:45,960 --> 00:02:47,920
Speaker 1: Here, and I heard you're going to be rocking the

76
00:02:47,960 --> 00:02:48,799
Speaker 1: number of twenty four?

77
00:02:48,880 --> 00:02:49,480
Speaker 2: Is that correct?

78
00:02:49,760 --> 00:02:51,520
Speaker 1: What goes into that? Because I think you would posted

79
00:02:51,600 --> 00:02:54,440
Speaker 1: something showing Champ Bailey in that twenty four and ex

80
00:02:54,560 --> 00:02:56,600
Speaker 1: Washington player, man, what made you decide to do twenty four?

81
00:02:57,160 --> 00:02:59,800
Speaker 3: Fifty eight was gone, forty was gone, okay, all right,

82
00:03:00,000 --> 00:03:02,040
Speaker 3: and then five five is obviously gone.

83
00:03:02,120 --> 00:03:02,280
Speaker 2: You know.

84
00:03:02,360 --> 00:03:04,880
Speaker 3: But those are the only numbers that I've wore, you know,

85
00:03:04,960 --> 00:03:07,080
Speaker 3: throughout my whole football career.

86
00:03:07,160 --> 00:03:12,440
Speaker 2: I wore twenty for one time in college. One of my.

87
00:03:14,720 --> 00:03:17,600
Speaker 3: The Sodo alumni, he had got injured in practice and

88
00:03:17,639 --> 00:03:20,000
Speaker 3: he was paralyzed from you know, neck down, and his

89
00:03:20,120 --> 00:03:22,120
Speaker 3: number was twenty four and I wore for one game,

90
00:03:22,680 --> 00:03:24,760
Speaker 3: you know, and support of him, Corey Burner.

91
00:03:25,520 --> 00:03:28,000
Speaker 2: In college, it was my I want to say, it

92
00:03:28,040 --> 00:03:28,240
Speaker 2: was my.

93
00:03:29,840 --> 00:03:33,200
Speaker 3: Junior year. It was my junior year in college, and

94
00:03:32,639 --> 00:03:35,839
Speaker 3: uh and I wore twenty four. And in the game

95
00:03:35,960 --> 00:03:38,920
Speaker 3: versus Arkansas, it takes a stadium, and you know, it

96
00:03:39,040 --> 00:03:41,240
Speaker 3: just spoke to me too. I'm a huge Kobe fan

97
00:03:41,280 --> 00:03:44,240
Speaker 3: as well, and it just that number just spoke to me,

98
00:03:44,360 --> 00:03:46,720
Speaker 3: you know, And they they told me about you know,

99
00:03:46,760 --> 00:03:50,000
Speaker 3: fifty eight being gone, forty was gone, so twenty four

100
00:03:50,120 --> 00:03:51,600
Speaker 3: was just it was just next, and it just kind

101
00:03:51,600 --> 00:03:53,920
Speaker 3: of spoke to me. And you know, obviously I'm I

102
00:03:53,920 --> 00:03:57,120
Speaker 3: played with Champ Bailey. He was fan of Champ Bailey,

103
00:03:57,160 --> 00:03:58,960
Speaker 3: and you know when he was here, he was twenty

104
00:03:58,960 --> 00:04:02,280
Speaker 3: four too, So you know, it was a lot of

105
00:04:02,280 --> 00:04:04,320
Speaker 3: things that kind of just tapped me to that number.

106
00:04:04,320 --> 00:04:06,120
Speaker 2: And you know that's the number, not more world when

107
00:04:06,160 --> 00:04:06,440
Speaker 2: I get here.

108
00:04:06,600 --> 00:04:08,560
Speaker 1: Sounds like a great decision. Sound like a lots tied

109
00:04:08,600 --> 00:04:10,640
Speaker 1: into that decision. Now when we speak of decisions, right,

110
00:04:10,880 --> 00:04:13,200
Speaker 1: and we look at what you've already done, we look

111
00:04:13,240 --> 00:04:14,840
Speaker 1: at that resume of things you're ready to COMPLI you

112
00:04:14,840 --> 00:04:17,800

Speaker 1: Hall of Fame, to be sitting for that gold jacket.

116

Speaker 3: to just be on YouTube. If that's what it is.

135
00:05:15,200 --> 00:05:16,479

137
00:05:18,320 --> 00:05:20,680

Speaker 3: taking advantage of my opportunity that was presented to me. Man,

160
00:06:13,320 --> 00:06:16,640
Speaker 3: It's nice that I sat in my hotel room and pray,

161
00:06:16,760 --> 00:06:18,320
Speaker 3: let me go out there and play well tomorrow.

162
00:06:18,360 --> 00:06:19,760
Speaker 2: Let me go out there and win the game. Want

163
00:06:19,760 --> 00:06:20,640
Speaker 2: to win the Super Bowl.

164
00:06:21,440 --> 00:06:23,440
Speaker 3: Let me play well enough so I can get a

165
00:06:23,480 --> 00:06:26,159
Speaker 3: college scholarship. You know, these are all prayers that I

166
00:06:26,240 --> 00:06:29,400
Speaker 3: had when I was younger, going you know, through this

167
00:06:29,480 --> 00:06:31,839
Speaker 3: process in my career, and I just don't want to

168
00:06:31,880 --> 00:06:33,760
Speaker 3: just get out of way, you know, Obviously you don't

169
00:06:33,760 --> 00:06:35,200
Speaker 3: want to get kicked out of the league, but you

170
00:06:35,240 --> 00:06:37,680
Speaker 3: don't want to leave too early. And I still think

171
00:06:37,680 --> 00:06:39,400
Speaker 3: I'm in a I still think I'm in a sweet

172
00:06:39,400 --> 00:06:42,200
Speaker 3: spot and I can still play, and you know, it's

173
00:06:41,920 --> 00:06:44,680
Speaker 3: a great opportunity to come play for a contender.

174
00:06:44,760 --> 00:06:45,880
Speaker 2: So here I am Vaughn.

175
00:06:45,920 --> 00:06:48,320
Speaker 1: I don't think nobody kicking you out of anywhere, man,

176
00:06:48,360 --> 00:06:51,159
Speaker 1: But it's crazy to hear somebody that has a Super Bowls,

177
00:06:51,160 --> 00:06:53,479
Speaker 1: like I said, has those accolades, and you talk about

178
00:06:53,520 --> 00:06:56,080
Speaker 1: you still needed to write an affirmation for yourself. You

179
00:06:56,120 --> 00:06:58,680
Speaker 1: still need to remind yourself about your greatness. There's a

180
00:06:58,760 --> 00:07:02,119
Speaker 1: humbleness in that. What do you get from those moments

181
00:07:02,120 --> 00:07:03,600
Speaker 1: where you take a step back and say, Okay, I'm

182
00:07:03,600 --> 00:07:06,200
Speaker 1: gonna write these things down because there's still goes to accomplish.

183
00:07:06,400 --> 00:07:07,880
Speaker 1: There's still ways I need to be locked in.

184
00:07:08,000 --> 00:07:11,320
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's I mean, it's it's power and just writing

185
00:07:11,320 --> 00:07:14,000
Speaker 3: it out it's power and saying negative stuff too. I

186
00:07:14,000 --> 00:07:15,920
Speaker 3: always try to stay away from all of that. I'm

187
00:07:15,960 --> 00:07:18,400
Speaker 3: super sensitive to that, and I think that's why my

188
00:07:19,160 --> 00:07:21,400
Speaker 3: teammates that I played with they respect me for that.

189
00:07:21,400 --> 00:07:24,920
Speaker 3: I'm super sensitive to that. I feel that, but also

190
00:07:25,080 --> 00:07:27,600
Speaker 3: I'm trying to be the most optimistic person that I

191
00:07:27,600 --> 00:07:30,600
Speaker 3: possibly can be. And obviously just because you optimistic don't

192
00:07:30,640 --> 00:07:33,000
Speaker 3: mean you know positive stuff is gonna happen. But if

193
00:07:33,040 --> 00:07:35,239
Speaker 3: you're a negative, negative stuff is gonna happen one hundred

194
00:07:35,240 --> 00:07:37,280
Speaker 3: percent of the time. So for me, I just try

195
00:07:37,320 --> 00:07:41,720
Speaker 3: to stay present, try to control what I control, and

196
00:07:41,840 --> 00:07:44,720
Speaker 3: just try to stay positive and just take it one

197
00:07:44,760 --> 00:07:45,360
Speaker 3: day at a time.

198
00:07:45,480 --> 00:07:46,720
Speaker 2: And you know, here we are.

199
00:07:46,800 --> 00:07:50,280
Speaker 1: Man, that awareness of your mentality and your emotions is

200
00:07:50,320 --> 00:07:52,720
Speaker 1: so valuable. Man. And then you enter a linebacker room

201
00:07:52,760 --> 00:07:54,920
Speaker 1: with another future Hall of Famer in Bobby Wagner and

202
00:07:54,960 --> 00:07:56,560
Speaker 1: a god really trying to get it right now in

203
00:07:56,680 --> 00:07:58,840
Speaker 1: Frankie Louvu. Man, how excited are you to be able

204
00:07:58,880 --> 00:08:00,960
Speaker 1: to play along? So I got that? And what do

205
00:08:00,960 --> 00:08:03,160
Speaker 1: you think you bring to add to what's already working there?

206
00:08:03,320 --> 00:08:03,520
Speaker 2: Man?

207
00:08:03,560 --> 00:08:06,040
Speaker 3: I'm I'm like I said, I'm a team guy, man,

208
00:08:06,040 --> 00:08:09,600
Speaker 3: And and I know ball, uh no ball, You know,

209
00:08:10,000 --> 00:08:12,560
Speaker 3: every team has different terminology and different language of course

210
00:08:12,600 --> 00:08:14,520
Speaker 3: that you got to learn. But when it comes to

211
00:08:14,520 --> 00:08:17,960
Speaker 3: to ball, I got a pH d in it. It

212
00:08:17,960 --> 00:08:21,600
Speaker 3: doesn't matter it's offense, defense, special teams, you know, I

213

Speaker 3: just knowing we got some great guys here, we got

214
00:08:23,320 --> 00:08:26,200
Speaker 3: some real dogs here, those two guys, it was a

215
00:08:26,240 --> 00:08:28,080
Speaker 3: huge part of the reason why I decided to come here,

216
00:08:28,320 --> 00:08:31,480
Speaker 3: along with Jaden Daniels and you know, Dran Payne and

217
00:08:31,600 --> 00:08:32,559

220
00:08:35,679 --> 00:08:37,640
Speaker 3: the National Football League, you know a little bit about

221
00:08:37,679 --> 00:08:40,120
Speaker 3: every team, and there's a lot to be known about

222
00:08:40,120 --> 00:08:40,440
Speaker 3: this team.

223
00:08:40,480 --> 00:08:40,600
Speaker 2: Man.

Speaker 3: They're they're right there on the edge. Got a lot

225
00:08:43,640 --> 00:08:46,840
Speaker 3: of talent, and I just want to, you know, supplement that.

226
00:08:46,960 --> 00:08:50,280
Speaker 3: I just want to you know, add to that, you know,

227
00:08:50,360 --> 00:08:52,760
Speaker 3: have opportunity to be the first player to win three

228
00:08:52,800 --> 00:08:55,240
Speaker 3: Super Bowls or three different teams. That's that's enough to

229
00:08:55,600 --> 00:08:58,320
Speaker 3: get you motivated as well. And then selfishly, you know,

235
00:09:10,880 --> 00:09:13,360
Speaker 3: I think I am. These are all challenges that you

236
00:09:13,360 --> 00:09:16,880
Speaker 3: know that I faced every single day that I'm excited

237
00:09:16,880 --> 00:09:19,360
Speaker 3: to face. And yeah, I'm excited to get in here

00:09:22,200 --> 00:09:23,400
Speaker 2: Mindset, help with the culture.

241
00:09:24,200 --> 00:09:26,760
Speaker 3: Obviously, get sacks on the football field, and just and

242
00:09:26,840 --> 00:09:30,959
Speaker 3: just supplement to already is what it is to supplement

243
00:09:31,000 --> 00:09:34,079
Speaker 3: to a great team that's that's already being built.

244
00:09:34,600 --> 00:09:38,320
Speaker 1: And you mentioned those accolades that list being in that

245
00:09:38,440 --> 00:09:40,400
Speaker 1: top ten and what that would mean for you as

246
00:09:40,400 --> 00:09:42,760
Speaker 1: far as sacks go. Can you put that into words?

247
00:09:42,760 --> 00:09:43,160
Speaker 2: What do it mean?

248
00:09:43,200 --> 00:09:45,560
Speaker 1: Because I know a god like LT, somebody you looked

249
00:09:45,600 --> 00:09:48,240
Speaker 1: up to, somebody that you dreamed of being able to be, Well,

250
00:09:48,240 --> 00:09:50,000
Speaker 1: you have a good chance of surpassing that. Just three

251
00:09:50,040 --> 00:09:52,839
Speaker 1: sacks away, six sacks last year. We got to imagine

252
00:09:52,840 --> 00:09:54,560
Speaker 1: we're gonna see a lot of sacks this year. Man,

253
00:09:54,760 --> 00:09:56,480
Speaker 1: What is that going to mean to you? To be

254
00:09:56,520 --> 00:09:59,320
Speaker 1: able to pass those guys that were your idols and

255
00:09:59,360 --> 00:09:59,920
Speaker 1: now we're your pis.

256
00:10:00,280 --> 00:10:03,000
Speaker 2: Man. I just get goosebumps thinking about it, like you know,

257
00:10:03,040 --> 00:10:03,679
Speaker 2: a little.

258
00:10:03,440 --> 00:10:07,280
Speaker 3: Kid thinking about playing football as a little kid and

259
00:10:07,320 --> 00:10:09,000
Speaker 3: having a dream of playing in the National Football League

260
00:10:09,040 --> 00:10:11,320
Speaker 3: And here we are going to year fifteen. I just

261
00:10:11,360 --> 00:10:14,040
Speaker 3: need three sacks to you know, pass LT and a

262
00:10:14,160 --> 00:10:15,840
Speaker 3: SAX to be in the top team, like it's a

263
00:10:16,320 --> 00:10:18,839
Speaker 3: it's a blessing man, and I'm I'm humbled by it.

264
00:10:19,400 --> 00:10:20,720
Speaker 3: And at the same time, I just want to take

265
00:10:20,720 --> 00:10:23,200
Speaker 3: advantage of my opportunity. I want to be present and

266
00:10:23,280 --> 00:10:25,439
Speaker 3: just really control everything that I control and see how

267
00:10:25,440 --> 00:10:26,959
Speaker 3: far I can really push and see how far I

268
00:10:27,000 --> 00:10:27,720
Speaker 3: can really take it.

269
00:10:28,880 --> 00:10:30,640
Speaker 2: You know, I don't like to be an autopilot.

270
00:10:30,679 --> 00:10:32,760
Speaker 3: I like to come to work with a purpose and

271
00:10:32,800 --> 00:10:34,880
Speaker 3: the intention, you know, each and every day that I

272
00:10:34,960 --> 00:10:38,400
Speaker 3: come here, and you know, I got a great opportunity

273
00:10:38,440 --> 00:10:40,120
Speaker 3: to really add to all of that stuff, and I

274
00:10:40,160 --> 00:10:42,079
Speaker 3: just want to be present and take advantage of everything

275
00:10:42,120 --> 00:10:44,880
Speaker 3: that I possibly can to get as much as I

276
00:10:44,920 --> 00:10:47,960
Speaker 3: possibly can, but not to be greedy or anything like that,

277
00:10:48,000 --> 00:10:50,520
Speaker 3: but just to take advantage of this opportunity that God

278
00:10:50,520 --> 00:10:51,200
Speaker 3: has blessed me with.

279
00:10:51,400 --> 00:10:54,200
Speaker 2: Hey man, that God is good any yes, sir, Yes, yeah,

280
00:10:54,280 --> 00:10:55,520
Speaker 2: all the time. He is good.

281
00:10:55,760 --> 00:10:58,440
Speaker 1: And Vaughan, we talk about this manifesting, you know, writing

282
00:10:58,480 --> 00:11:02,000
Speaker 1: things down, putting positivity in the atmosphere. I'm one of

283
00:11:02,040 --> 00:11:06,280
Speaker 1: those guys too. What's the expectation for von Miller going

284
00:11:06,320 --> 00:11:08,760
Speaker 1: into year fifteen. Yes, you had six sacs last year,

285
00:11:08,840 --> 00:11:10,920
Speaker 1: but I know for somebody like you that might not

286
00:11:11,040 --> 00:11:14,080
Speaker 1: be enough. What is the expectation going into this year?

287
00:11:14,440 --> 00:11:17,280
Speaker 3: You know, it's uh, you know, expectation is crazy because

288
00:11:17,440 --> 00:11:20,080
Speaker 3: you know, we all have great expectations. We all we

289
00:11:20,120 --> 00:11:22,400
Speaker 3: all want like you know, we all want to be

290
00:11:22,520 --> 00:11:24,840
Speaker 3: like the best, and we all want to you know,

291
00:11:24,960 --> 00:11:27,560
Speaker 3: be billionaires, and we all want you know, you know,

292
00:11:27,640 --> 00:11:29,360
Speaker 3: it's just that's how the human heart is and the

293
00:11:29,440 --> 00:11:32,319
Speaker 3: human mind is. I just want to take advantage of

294
00:11:32,360 --> 00:11:34,880
Speaker 3: my opportunity. You know, we have a unique opportunity in

295
00:11:34,880 --> 00:11:37,440
Speaker 3: tim me especially. You know, I'm thirty six, I'll be

296
00:11:37,480 --> 00:11:40,720
Speaker 3: thirty seven in March. I can still play. I guess,

297
00:11:40,760 --> 00:11:44,400
Speaker 3: a unique opportunity and the timing is right, and I

298
00:11:44,480 --> 00:11:46,360
Speaker 3: just want to take advantage of that. That's that's all

299
00:11:46,360 --> 00:11:48,360
Speaker 3: it really is for me. I want to take advantage

300
00:11:48,360 --> 00:11:51,560
Speaker 3: of everything that's presented with me. Nothing in life happens

301
00:11:51,559 --> 00:11:55,160
Speaker 3: by coincidence. You know, I'm here by I'm here for

302
00:11:55,200 --> 00:11:55,680
Speaker 3: a reason.

303
00:11:56,600 --> 00:11:56,959
Speaker 2: I'm here.

304
00:11:56,960 --> 00:11:58,960
Speaker 3: It's a purpose and intention behind it, and I just

305
00:11:59,000 --> 00:12:01,280
Speaker 3: want to take advantage of that, whatever that may be.

306
00:12:01,600 --> 00:12:04,040
Speaker 2: You know, we're still trying to figure it out. You know.

307
00:12:04,080 --> 00:12:05,920
Speaker 3: If that's going out there and getting twenty sacks, cool,

308
00:12:06,040 --> 00:12:08,360
Speaker 3: I take it. You know, if it's another six sacks,

309
00:12:08,400 --> 00:12:08,920
Speaker 3: I take it.

310
00:12:09,200 --> 00:12:11,520
Speaker 2: You know. Whatever God presents to me, you know, I

311
00:12:11,640 --> 00:12:12,000
Speaker 2: take it.

312
00:12:12,640 --> 00:12:14,520
Speaker 3: But at the same time, I'm gonna control everything that

313
00:12:14,520 --> 00:12:17,640
Speaker 3: I possibly can controla I'm gonna go out there and

314
00:12:17,679 --> 00:12:20,880
Speaker 3: practice and play and work to you know, be.
