<v Speaker 1>Big Dog Von Miller Welcome.

0:00:15.640 --> 0:00:17.320
<v Speaker 2>Brother, I appreciation, thanks for having me.

0:00:18.320 --> 0:00:19.239
<v Speaker 1>It's a pleasure to have you.

0:00:19.280 --> 0:00:19.440
<v Speaker 2>Bro.

0:00:19.520 --> 0:00:21.800
<v Speaker 1>You just put pen to paper. How does it feel

0:00:21.840 --> 0:00:22.560
<v Speaker 1>to be a Commander?

0:00:22.800 --> 0:00:25.280
<v Speaker 2>It feels good. You know, I've been in the league.

0:00:25.640 --> 0:00:28.040
<v Speaker 3>What's going on my fifteenth year, so you know a

0:00:28.120 --> 0:00:31.760
<v Speaker 3>little bit about every team. This team is a really

0:00:31.800 --> 0:00:36.159
<v Speaker 3>good team. Janey Daniels is a really good quarterback. Young quarterback,

0:00:36.200 --> 0:00:38.560
<v Speaker 3>but he's really really good man. And I've been blessed

0:00:38.600 --> 0:00:40.519
<v Speaker 3>to play with some good ones from Peyton Manning and

0:00:40.640 --> 0:00:43.720
<v Speaker 3>Matthew Stafford to Josh Allen. You know, you just can't

0:00:43.800 --> 0:00:46.520
<v Speaker 3>leave those guys and go to anybody. So I think

0:00:46.680 --> 0:00:49.519
<v Speaker 3>Jaden Daniels is going to be on the list with

0:00:49.600 --> 0:00:51.120
<v Speaker 3>those same guys in the future.

0:00:51.400 --> 0:00:53.080
<v Speaker 1>And we know a guy like Jaden Daniels would make

0:00:53.080 --> 0:00:55.240
<v Speaker 1>anybody want to play here. Right But in year fifteen,

0:00:55.560 --> 0:00:57.680
<v Speaker 1>when you've done it all, when you have that future

0:00:57.720 --> 0:01:00.960
<v Speaker 1>Hall of fame career. What makes you say I'm gonna

0:01:01.000 --> 0:01:02.720
<v Speaker 1>take my talents to Virginia, to the d m V

0:01:03.080 --> 0:01:04.280
<v Speaker 1>and play for the Commanders.

0:01:04.400 --> 0:01:07.400
<v Speaker 3>I think, you know, it all started with the potential

0:01:07.400 --> 0:01:08.920
<v Speaker 3>of this team.

0:01:09.319 --> 0:01:10.440
<v Speaker 2>You know, I had felt.

0:01:10.120 --> 0:01:12.679
<v Speaker 3>Like I had known Dan Quinn for a long time

0:01:12.840 --> 0:01:15.560
<v Speaker 3>and I had just met him, like, you know, a

0:01:15.640 --> 0:01:16.720
<v Speaker 3>month and a half ago.

0:01:16.800 --> 0:01:18.080
<v Speaker 2>But I had felt like I haven't known them.

0:01:18.160 --> 0:01:20.400
<v Speaker 3>All the guys that have played for them, they rave

0:01:20.440 --> 0:01:24.360
<v Speaker 3>about them, they love them. And when I was presenting

0:01:24.400 --> 0:01:26.800
<v Speaker 3>with the opportunity to come here, I couldn't.

0:01:26.840 --> 0:01:27.920
<v Speaker 2>I couldn't resist, man.

0:01:28.000 --> 0:01:30.520
<v Speaker 3>And you know, this team has a lot of potential,

0:01:31.400 --> 0:01:32.520
<v Speaker 3>and I just wanted to add to that.

0:01:32.600 --> 0:01:34.160
<v Speaker 2>I just wanted to be a part of the culture.

0:01:34.520 --> 0:01:36.920
<v Speaker 3>I'm a team guy, you know, I don't like to

0:01:37.000 --> 0:01:39.240
<v Speaker 3>too my own horn, but when it comes to being

0:01:39.240 --> 0:01:41.119
<v Speaker 3>one of the guys, like I'm I'm the.

0:01:41.080 --> 0:01:41.600
<v Speaker 2>Best at it.

0:01:41.880 --> 0:01:43.840
<v Speaker 3>I'm the best at blending in, I'm the best at

0:01:43.880 --> 0:01:47.160
<v Speaker 3>getting the guys together, vibing with the guys, bringing the

0:01:47.200 --> 0:01:49.240
<v Speaker 3>locker room together, like, I'm the best at that.

0:01:49.320 --> 0:01:52.080
<v Speaker 2>It ain't nobody around the league that do that better

0:01:52.120 --> 0:01:52.360
<v Speaker 2>than me.

0:01:52.480 --> 0:01:54.200
<v Speaker 3>And you know, I've heard about this team and the

0:01:54.240 --> 0:01:55.880
<v Speaker 3>type of culture they have, and I wanted to ask

0:01:55.920 --> 0:01:56.640
<v Speaker 3>you that I.

0:01:56.560 --> 0:01:57.440
<v Speaker 1>Love that confidence.

0:01:57.440 --> 0:01:57.600
<v Speaker 2>Man.

0:01:57.640 --> 0:01:59.400
<v Speaker 1>Even just saying that just now, it sounds I feel

0:01:59.400 --> 0:01:59.720
<v Speaker 1>like I'm.

0:01:59.600 --> 0:02:01.040
<v Speaker 2>Talking to Joe with Junior guy.

0:02:01.200 --> 0:02:02.880
<v Speaker 1>Now, Joe June has only been the deeps of coordinator

0:02:02.920 --> 0:02:05.920
<v Speaker 1>for one season, However, I think he's well known around

0:02:05.960 --> 0:02:08.560
<v Speaker 1>this league. Man, how do you see yourself fitting in

0:02:08.680 --> 0:02:11.280
<v Speaker 1>what's already working here in that Joe with Junior system.

0:02:11.600 --> 0:02:13.480
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, I mean, you know, I'm here to your sex.

0:02:13.560 --> 0:02:16.040
<v Speaker 3>You know, I'm here to add to the past rush.

0:02:16.160 --> 0:02:18.400
<v Speaker 3>I'm you know, and I'm here to do whatever it

0:02:18.440 --> 0:02:21.280
<v Speaker 3>takes to win the game. You know, whatever it takes

0:02:21.280 --> 0:02:25.079
<v Speaker 3>to win. You know, if that's uh blitzing him, that's

0:02:25.120 --> 0:02:27.480
<v Speaker 3>playing and run, if that's sacking the quarterback, I'm here

0:02:27.480 --> 0:02:30.720
<v Speaker 3>to do it. Been in the league fifteen years and

0:02:30.760 --> 0:02:33.359
<v Speaker 3>it's nothing better than a locker room after a big win.

0:02:34.080 --> 0:02:37.200
<v Speaker 3>And that's that's why I'm here. I'm here to you know,

0:02:37.200 --> 0:02:39.080
<v Speaker 3>the vibe in the locker room and celebrating the locker

0:02:39.160 --> 0:02:41.160
<v Speaker 3>room after big wins. You know, all wins are great,

0:02:41.160 --> 0:02:43.680
<v Speaker 3>but the big ones, you know, the big ones in December,

0:02:43.800 --> 0:02:46.120
<v Speaker 3>January and February, you know, That's why I'm.

0:02:45.960 --> 0:02:47.920
<v Speaker 1>Here, and I heard you're going to be rocking the

0:02:47.960 --> 0:02:48.799
<v Speaker 1>number of twenty four?

0:02:48.880 --> 0:02:49.480
<v Speaker 2>Is that correct?

0:02:49.760 --> 0:02:51.520
<v Speaker 1>What goes into that? Because I think you would posted

0:02:51.600 --> 0:02:54.440
<v Speaker 1>something showing Champ Bailey in that twenty four and ex

0:02:54.560 --> 0:02:56.600
<v Speaker 1>Washington player, man, what made you decide to do twenty four?

0:02:57.160 --> 0:02:59.800
<v Speaker 3>Fifty eight was gone, forty was gone, okay, all right,

0:03:00.000 --> 0:03:02.040
<v Speaker 3>and then five five is obviously gone.

0:03:02.120 --> 0:03:02.280
<v Speaker 2>You know.

0:03:02.360 --> 0:03:04.880
<v Speaker 3>But those are the only numbers that I've wore, you know,

0:03:04.960 --> 0:03:07.080
<v Speaker 3>throughout my whole football career.

0:03:07.160 --> 0:03:12.440
<v Speaker 2>I wore twenty for one time in college. One of my.

0:03:14.720 --> 0:03:17.600
<v Speaker 3>The Sodo alumni, he had got injured in practice and

0:03:17.639 --> 0:03:20.000
<v Speaker 3>he was paralyzed from you know, neck down, and his

0:03:20.120 --> 0:03:22.120
<v Speaker 3>number was twenty four and I wore for one game,

0:03:22.680 --> 0:03:24.760
<v Speaker 3>you know, and support of him, Corey Burner.

0:03:25.520 --> 0:03:28.000
<v Speaker 2>In college, it was my I want to say, it

0:03:28.040 --> 0:03:28.240
<v Speaker 2>was my.

0:03:29.840 --> 0:03:33.200
<v Speaker 3>Junior year. It was my junior year in college, and

0:03:32.639 --> 0:03:35.839
<v Speaker 3>uh and I wore twenty four. And in the game

0:03:35.960 --> 0:03:38.920
<v Speaker 3>versus Arkansas, it takes a stadium, and you know, it

0:03:39.040 --> 0:03:41.240
<v Speaker 3>just spoke to me too. I'm a huge Kobe fan

0:03:41.280 --> 0:03:44.240
<v Speaker 3>as well, and it just that number just spoke to me,

0:03:44.360 --> 0:03:46.720
<v Speaker 3>you know, And they they told me about you know,

0:03:46.760 --> 0:03:50.000
<v Speaker 3>fifty eight being gone, forty was gone, so twenty four

0:03:50.120 --> 0:03:51.600
<v Speaker 3>was just it was just next, and it just kind

0:03:51.600 --> 0:03:53.920
<v Speaker 3>of spoke to me. And you know, obviously I'm I

0:03:53.920 --> 0:03:57.120
<v Speaker 3>played with Champ Bailey. He was fan of Champ Bailey,

0:03:57.160 --> 0:03:58.960
<v Speaker 3>and you know when he was here, he was twenty

0:03:58.960 --> 0:04:02.280
<v Speaker 3>four too, So you know, it was a lot of

0:04:02.280 --> 0:04:04.320
<v Speaker 3>things that kind of just tapped me to that number.

0:04:04.320 --> 0:04:06.120
<v Speaker 2>And you know that's the number, not more world when

0:04:06.160 --> 0:04:06.440
<v Speaker 2>I get here.

0:04:06.600 --> 0:04:08.560
<v Speaker 1>Sounds like a great decision. Sound like a lots tied

0:04:08.600 --> 0:04:10.640
<v Speaker 1>into that decision. Now when we speak of decisions, right,

0:04:10.880 --> 0:04:13.200
<v Speaker 1>and we look at what you've already done, we look

0:04:13.240 --> 0:04:14.840
<v Speaker 1>at that resume of things you're ready to COMPLI you

0:04:14.840 --> 0:04:17.800
<v Speaker 1>said going in a year fifteen. I've sat here, was

0:04:17.839 --> 0:04:19.800
<v Speaker 1>zat Ertz. I've sat here with Bobby Wagner, two guys

0:04:19.800 --> 0:04:22.159
<v Speaker 1>that have also done enough to be considered into that

0:04:22.200 --> 0:04:24.040
<v Speaker 1>Hall of Fame, to be sitting for that gold jacket.

0:04:24.240 --> 0:04:26.559
<v Speaker 1>And I had to ask them the same thing, Why

0:04:27.160 --> 0:04:30.080
<v Speaker 1>why keep going? What is von Miller's Why you've accomplished

0:04:30.080 --> 0:04:30.799

<v Speaker 3>why on my mirror. I think it was.

0:04:44.320 --> 0:04:47.400
<v Speaker 2>I think it was like February. It had to be.

0:04:47.520 --> 0:04:48.320
<v Speaker 2>I think it had to be.

0:04:48.279 --> 0:04:52.880
<v Speaker 3>Like February sixteen, twenty twenty five, at the beginning of

0:04:52.880 --> 0:04:55.400
<v Speaker 3>this year, you know, just a little affirmation on my

0:04:55.960 --> 0:04:58.040
<v Speaker 3>mirror so I could look at it every day. And

0:04:58.160 --> 0:04:59.760
<v Speaker 3>you know why I do it, Man, I got too

0:04:59.800 --> 0:05:02.960
<v Speaker 3>young boys. You know, my oldest he would be four

0:05:03.040 --> 0:05:05.840
<v Speaker 3>next month, August sixteenth, and my youngest he'd be three

0:05:05.920 --> 0:05:09.360
<v Speaker 3>February seven. And you know, when they I want them

0:05:09.400 --> 0:05:10.919
<v Speaker 3>to be able to remember me. I want them to

0:05:10.920 --> 0:05:13.160
<v Speaker 3>be able to see me play. And I don't want

0:05:13.200 --> 0:05:15.080
<v Speaker 3>to just be on YouTube. If that's what it is.

0:05:15.200 --> 0:05:16.479
<v Speaker 3>If that's what it is, if that's what I got

0:05:16.600 --> 0:05:18.279
<v Speaker 3>to do, like hey, go to YouTube, what's daddy, then

0:05:18.320 --> 0:05:20.680
<v Speaker 3>that's what I gotta do. But I want them to remember.

0:05:20.720 --> 0:05:22.920
<v Speaker 3>I want them to remember me playing. I want them

0:05:22.960 --> 0:05:25.839
<v Speaker 3>to remember me making great plays. I want them to

<v Speaker 3>remember the guys that you know, that I hung around

0:05:27.960 --> 0:05:30.920
<v Speaker 3>and that I played with. And you know, dan Quinn

0:05:31.000 --> 0:05:33.359
<v Speaker 3>has a really tight knit culture here with the family

0:05:33.400 --> 0:05:35.919
<v Speaker 3>and having the kids and everybody here, and I wanted.

0:05:35.720 --> 0:05:36.440

<v Speaker 3>try to break into that top ten. I got one

0:05:46.160 --> 0:05:49.200
<v Speaker 3>hundred and twenty nine and a half sacks. I think

<v Speaker 3>top ten will put me in if I can get.

0:05:50.920 --> 0:05:52.440

0:05:52.440 --> 0:05:55.400
<v Speaker 1>ten and get eight more, get you in that top ten.

0:05:55.480 --> 0:05:57.560
<v Speaker 1>Three more will make you pass Lawrence Taylor.

0:05:57.640 --> 0:05:57.919
<v Speaker 2>Yeah.

<v Speaker 3>there in a list like Grace that I looked up to,

0:06:02.279 --> 0:06:06.000
<v Speaker 3>and just to be able to, you know, past those guys.

0:06:06.240 --> 0:06:08.119
<v Speaker 3>You know, you play long enough, you get enough sacks,

0:06:08.120 --> 0:06:10.440
<v Speaker 3>you have an opportunity to do it. And I'm just

0:06:10.480 --> 0:06:12.960
<v Speaker 3>taking advantage of my opportunity that was presented to me. Man,

0:06:13.320 --> 0:06:16.640
<v Speaker 3>It's nice that I sat in my hotel room and pray,

0:06:16.760 --> 0:06:18.320
<v Speaker 3>let me go out there and play well tomorrow.

0:06:18.360 --> 0:06:19.760
<v Speaker 2>Let me go out there and win the game. Want

0:06:19.760 --> 0:06:20.640
<v Speaker 2>to win the Super Bowl.

0:06:21.440 --> 0:06:23.440
<v Speaker 3>Let me play well enough so I can get a

0:06:23.480 --> 0:06:26.159
<v Speaker 3>college scholarship. You know, these are all prayers that I

0:06:26.240 --> 0:06:29.400
<v Speaker 3>had when I was younger, going you know, through this

0:06:29.480 --> 0:06:31.839
<v Speaker 3>process in my career, and I just don't want to

0:06:31.880 --> 0:06:33.760
<v Speaker 3>just get out of way, you know, Obviously you don't

0:06:33.760 --> 0:06:35.200
<v Speaker 3>want to get kicked out of the league, but you

0:06:35.240 --> 0:06:37.680
<v Speaker 3>don't want to leave too early. And I still think

0:06:37.680 --> 0:06:39.400
<v Speaker 3>I'm in a I still think I'm in a sweet

0:06:39.400 --> 0:06:42.200
<v Speaker 3>spot and I can still play, and you know, it's

0:06:41.920 --> 0:06:44.680
<v Speaker 3>a great opportunity to come play for a contender.

0:06:44.760 --> 0:06:45.880
<v Speaker 2>So here I am Vaughn.

0:06:45.920 --> 0:06:48.320
<v Speaker 1>I don't think nobody kicking you out of anywhere, man,

0:06:48.360 --> 0:06:51.159
<v Speaker 1>But it's crazy to hear somebody that has a Super Bowls,

0:06:51.160 --> 0:06:53.479
<v Speaker 1>like I said, has those accolades, and you talk about

0:06:53.520 --> 0:06:56.080
<v Speaker 1>you still needed to write an affirmation for yourself. You

0:06:56.120 --> 0:06:58.680
<v Speaker 1>still need to remind yourself about your greatness. There's a

0:06:58.760 --> 0:07:02.119
<v Speaker 1>humbleness in that. What do you get from those moments

0:07:02.120 --> 0:07:03.600
<v Speaker 1>where you take a step back and say, Okay, I'm

0:07:03.600 --> 0:07:06.200
<v Speaker 1>gonna write these things down because there's still goes to accomplish.

0:07:06.400 --> 0:07:07.880
<v Speaker 1>There's still ways I need to be locked in.

0:07:08.000 --> 0:07:11.320
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, it's I mean, it's it's power and just writing

0:07:11.320 --> 0:07:14.000
<v Speaker 3>it out it's power and saying negative stuff too. I

0:07:14.000 --> 0:07:15.920
<v Speaker 3>always try to stay away from all of that. I'm

0:07:15.960 --> 0:07:18.400
<v Speaker 3>super sensitive to that, and I think that's why my

0:07:19.160 --> 0:07:21.400
<v Speaker 3>teammates that I played with they respect me for that.

0:07:21.400 --> 0:07:24.920
<v Speaker 3>I'm super sensitive to that. I feel that, but also

0:07:25.080 --> 0:07:27.600
<v Speaker 3>I'm trying to be the most optimistic person that I

0:07:27.600 --> 0:07:30.600
<v Speaker 3>possibly can be. And obviously just because you optimistic don't

0:07:30.640 --> 0:07:33.000
<v Speaker 3>mean you know positive stuff is gonna happen. But if

0:07:33.040 --> 0:07:35.239
<v Speaker 3>you're a negative, negative stuff is gonna happen one hundred

0:07:35.240 --> 0:07:37.280
<v Speaker 3>percent of the time. So for me, I just try

0:07:37.320 --> 0:07:41.720
<v Speaker 3>to stay present, try to control what I control, and

0:07:41.840 --> 0:07:44.720
<v Speaker 3>just try to stay positive and just take it one

0:07:44.760 --> 0:07:45.360
<v Speaker 3>day at a time.

0:07:45.480 --> 0:07:46.720
<v Speaker 2>And you know, here we are.

0:07:46.800 --> 0:07:50.280
<v Speaker 1>Man, that awareness of your mentality and your emotions is

0:07:50.320 --> 0:07:52.720
<v Speaker 1>so valuable. Man. And then you enter a linebacker room

0:07:52.760 --> 0:07:54.920
<v Speaker 1>with another future Hall of Famer in Bobby Wagner and

0:07:54.960 --> 0:07:56.560
<v Speaker 1>a god really trying to get it right now in

0:07:56.680 --> 0:07:58.840
<v Speaker 1>Frankie Louvu. Man, how excited are you to be able

0:07:58.880 --> 0:08:00.960
<v Speaker 1>to play along? So I got that? And what do

0:08:00.960 --> 0:08:03.160
<v Speaker 1>you think you bring to add to what's already working there?

0:08:03.320 --> 0:08:03.520
<v Speaker 2>Man?

0:08:03.560 --> 0:08:06.040
<v Speaker 3>I'm I'm like I said, I'm a team guy, man,

0:08:06.040 --> 0:08:09.600
<v Speaker 3>And and I know ball, uh no ball, You know,

0:08:10.000 --> 0:08:12.560
<v Speaker 3>every team has different terminology and different language of course

0:08:12.600 --> 0:08:14.520
<v Speaker 3>that you got to learn. But when it comes to

0:08:14.520 --> 0:08:17.960
<v Speaker 3>to ball, I got a pH d in it. It

0:08:17.960 --> 0:08:21.600
<v Speaker 3>doesn't matter it's offense, defense, special teams, you know, I

0:08:21.720 --> 0:08:23.280
<v Speaker 3>just knowing we got some great guys here, we got

0:08:23.320 --> 0:08:26.200
<v Speaker 3>some real dogs here, those two guys, it was a

0:08:26.240 --> 0:08:28.080
<v Speaker 3>huge part of the reason why I decided to come here,

0:08:28.320 --> 0:08:31.480
<v Speaker 3>along with Jaden Daniels and you know, Dran Payne and

0:08:31.600 --> 0:08:32.559
<v Speaker 3>you know all of these guys.

0:08:32.559 --> 0:08:32.760
<v Speaker 2>Man.

0:08:32.840 --> 0:08:35.640
<v Speaker 3>So you play long enough in the football league, in

0:08:35.679 --> 0:08:37.640
<v Speaker 3>the National Football League, you know a little bit about

0:08:37.679 --> 0:08:40.120
<v Speaker 3>every team, and there's a lot to be known about

0:08:40.120 --> 0:08:40.440
<v Speaker 3>this team.

0:08:40.480 --> 0:08:40.600
<v Speaker 2>Man.

0:08:40.640 --> 0:08:43.600
<v Speaker 3>They're they're right there on the edge. Got a lot

0:08:43.640 --> 0:08:46.840
<v Speaker 3>of talent, and I just want to, you know, supplement that.

0:08:46.960 --> 0:08:50.280
<v Speaker 3>I just want to you know, add to that, you know,

0:08:50.360 --> 0:08:52.760
<v Speaker 3>have opportunity to be the first player to win three

0:08:52.800 --> 0:08:55.240
<v Speaker 3>Super Bowls or three different teams. That's that's enough to

0:08:55.600 --> 0:08:58.320
<v Speaker 3>get you motivated as well. And then selfishly, you know,

0:08:58.360 --> 0:09:01.000
<v Speaker 3>I just want to see if if I'm if I'm

0:09:01.000 --> 0:09:02.360
<v Speaker 3>the magic that did it, you know, if I'm the

0:09:02.400 --> 0:09:04.920
<v Speaker 3>magic that that can that can make it happen.

0:09:06.360 --> 0:09:08.439
<v Speaker 2>You know, if do I have the stuff to.

0:09:08.520 --> 0:09:10.840
<v Speaker 3>Improve the team? Am I really the team got it?

0:09:10.880 --> 0:09:13.360
<v Speaker 3>I think I am. These are all challenges that you

0:09:13.360 --> 0:09:16.880
<v Speaker 3>know that I faced every single day that I'm excited

0:09:16.880 --> 0:09:19.360
<v Speaker 3>to face. And yeah, I'm excited to get in here

0:09:19.400 --> 0:09:21.760
<v Speaker 3>with these guys, and you know, help with the mentality,

0:09:21.800 --> 0:09:22.240
<v Speaker 3>help with the.

0:09:22.200 --> 0:09:23.400
<v Speaker 2>Mindset, help with the culture.

0:09:24.200 --> 0:09:26.760
<v Speaker 3>Obviously, get sacks on the football field, and just and

0:09:26.840 --> 0:09:30.959
<v Speaker 3>just supplement to already is what it is to supplement

0:09:31.000 --> 0:09:34.079
<v Speaker 3>to a great team that's that's already being built.

0:09:34.600 --> 0:09:38.320
<v Speaker 1>And you mentioned those accolades that list being in that

0:09:38.440 --> 0:09:40.400
<v Speaker 1>top ten and what that would mean for you as

0:09:40.400 --> 0:09:42.760
<v Speaker 1>far as sacks go. Can you put that into words?

0:09:42.760 --> 0:09:43.160
<v Speaker 2>What do it mean?

0:09:43.200 --> 0:09:45.560
<v Speaker 1>Because I know a god like LT, somebody you looked

0:09:45.600 --> 0:09:48.240
<v Speaker 1>up to, somebody that you dreamed of being able to be, Well,

0:09:48.240 --> 0:09:50.000
<v Speaker 1>you have a good chance of surpassing that. Just three

0:09:50.040 --> 0:09:52.839
<v Speaker 1>sacks away, six sacks last year. We got to imagine

0:09:52.840 --> 0:09:54.560
<v Speaker 1>we're gonna see a lot of sacks this year. Man,

0:09:54.760 --> 0:09:56.480
<v Speaker 1>What is that going to mean to you? To be

0:09:56.520 --> 0:09:59.320
<v Speaker 1>able to pass those guys that were your idols and

0:09:59.360 --> 0:09:59.920
<v Speaker 1>now we're your pis.

0:10:00.280 --> 0:10:03.000
<v Speaker 2>Man. I just get goosebumps thinking about it, like you know,

0:10:03.040 --> 0:10:03.679
<v Speaker 2>a little.

0:10:03.440 --> 0:10:07.280
<v Speaker 3>Kid thinking about playing football as a little kid and

0:10:07.320 --> 0:10:09.000
<v Speaker 3>having a dream of playing in the National Football League

0:10:09.040 --> 0:10:11.320
<v Speaker 3>And here we are going to year fifteen. I just

0:10:11.360 --> 0:10:14.040
<v Speaker 3>need three sacks to you know, pass LT and a

0:10:14.160 --> 0:10:15.840
<v Speaker 3>SAX to be in the top team, like it's a

0:10:16.320 --> 0:10:18.839
<v Speaker 3>it's a blessing man, and I'm I'm humbled by it.

0:10:19.400 --> 0:10:20.720
<v Speaker 3>And at the same time, I just want to take

0:10:20.720 --> 0:10:23.200
<v Speaker 3>advantage of my opportunity. I want to be present and

0:10:23.280 --> 0:10:25.439
<v Speaker 3>just really control everything that I control and see how

0:10:25.440 --> 0:10:26.959
<v Speaker 3>far I can really push and see how far I

0:10:27.000 --> 0:10:27.720
<v Speaker 3>can really take it.

0:10:28.880 --> 0:10:30.640
<v Speaker 2>You know, I don't like to be an autopilot.

0:10:30.679 --> 0:10:32.760
<v Speaker 3>I like to come to work with a purpose and

0:10:32.800 --> 0:10:34.880
<v Speaker 3>the intention, you know, each and every day that I

0:10:34.960 --> 0:10:38.400
<v Speaker 3>come here, and you know, I got a great opportunity

0:10:38.440 --> 0:10:40.120
<v Speaker 3>to really add to all of that stuff, and I

0:10:40.160 --> 0:10:42.079
<v Speaker 3>just want to be present and take advantage of everything

0:10:42.120 --> 0:10:44.880
<v Speaker 3>that I possibly can to get as much as I

0:10:44.920 --> 0:10:47.960
<v Speaker 3>possibly can, but not to be greedy or anything like that,

0:10:48.000 --> 0:10:50.520
<v Speaker 3>but just to take advantage of this opportunity that God

0:10:50.520 --> 0:10:51.200
<v Speaker 3>has blessed me with.

0:10:51.400 --> 0:10:54.200
<v Speaker 2>Hey man, that God is good any yes, sir, Yes, yeah,

0:10:54.280 --> 0:10:55.520
<v Speaker 2>all the time. He is good.

0:10:55.760 --> 0:10:58.440
<v Speaker 1>And Vaughan, we talk about this manifesting, you know, writing

0:10:58.480 --> 0:11:02.000
<v Speaker 1>things down, putting positivity in the atmosphere. I'm one of

0:11:02.040 --> 0:11:06.280
<v Speaker 1>those guys too. What's the expectation for von Miller going

0:11:06.320 --> 0:11:08.760
<v Speaker 1>into year fifteen. Yes, you had six sacs last year,

0:11:08.840 --> 0:11:10.920
<v Speaker 1>but I know for somebody like you that might not

0:11:11.040 --> 0:11:14.080
<v Speaker 1>be enough. What is the expectation going into this year?

0:11:14.440 --> 0:11:17.280
<v Speaker 3>You know, it's uh, you know, expectation is crazy because

0:11:17.440 --> 0:11:20.080
<v Speaker 3>you know, we all have great expectations. We all we

0:11:20.120 --> 0:11:22.400
<v Speaker 3>all want like you know, we all want to be

0:11:22.520 --> 0:11:24.840
<v Speaker 3>like the best, and we all want to you know,

0:11:24.960 --> 0:11:27.560
<v Speaker 3>be billionaires, and we all want you know, you know,

0:11:27.640 --> 0:11:29.360
<v Speaker 3>it's just that's how the human heart is and the

0:11:29.440 --> 0:11:32.319
<v Speaker 3>human mind is. I just want to take advantage of

0:11:32.360 --> 0:11:34.880
<v Speaker 3>my opportunity. You know, we have a unique opportunity in

0:11:34.880 --> 0:11:37.440
<v Speaker 3>tim me especially. You know, I'm thirty six, I'll be

0:11:37.480 --> 0:11:40.720
<v Speaker 3>thirty seven in March. I can still play. I guess,

0:11:40.760 --> 0:11:44.400
<v Speaker 3>a unique opportunity and the timing is right, and I

0:11:44.480 --> 0:11:46.360
<v Speaker 3>just want to take advantage of that. That's that's all

0:11:46.360 --> 0:11:48.360
<v Speaker 3>it really is for me. I want to take advantage

0:11:48.360 --> 0:11:51.560
<v Speaker 3>of everything that's presented with me. Nothing in life happens

0:11:51.559 --> 0:11:55.160
<v Speaker 3>by coincidence. You know, I'm here by I'm here for

0:11:55.200 --> 0:11:55.680
<v Speaker 3>a reason.

0:11:56.600 --> 0:11:56.959
<v Speaker 2>I'm here.

0:11:56.960 --> 0:11:58.960
<v Speaker 3>It's a purpose and intention behind it, and I just

0:11:59.000 --> 0:12:01.280
<v Speaker 3>want to take advantage of that, whatever that may be.

0:12:01.600 --> 0:12:04.040
<v Speaker 2>You know, we're still trying to figure it out. You know.

0:12:04.080 --> 0:12:05.920
<v Speaker 3>If that's going out there and getting twenty sacks, cool,

0:12:06.040 --> 0:12:08.360
<v Speaker 3>I take it. You know, if it's another six sacks,

0:12:08.400 --> 0:12:08.920
<v Speaker 3>I take it.

0:12:09.200 --> 0:12:11.520
<v Speaker 2>You know. Whatever God presents to me, you know, I

0:12:11.640 --> 0:12:12.000
<v Speaker 2>take it.

0:12:12.640 --> 0:12:14.520
<v Speaker 3>But at the same time, I'm gonna control everything that

0:12:14.520 --> 0:12:17.640
<v Speaker 3>I possibly can controla I'm gonna go out there and

0:12:17.679 --> 0:12:20.880
<v Speaker 3>practice and play and work to you know, be.

0:12:20.960 --> 0:12:22.120
<v Speaker 2>Up there with the top guys.

0:12:22.480 --> 0:12:24.880
<v Speaker 3>Whatever is presented to me, though, I take it, and

0:12:25.720 --> 0:12:29.199
<v Speaker 3>I'm humbled by that, and I'm appreciative and grateful.

0:12:28.960 --> 0:12:30.439
