1
00:00:00,240 --> 00:00:03,080
Speaker 1: In your off season then the kind of reflecting back

2
00:00:03,080 --> 00:00:04,080
Speaker 1: on her over the season.

3
00:00:04,559 --> 00:00:05,480
Speaker 2: Off season was good.

4
00:00:06,280 --> 00:00:09,240
Speaker 3: Got some time to rest, but spent some time around family,

5
00:00:09,320 --> 00:00:12,720
Speaker 3: you know, did a little traveling. Uh, rookie year, learned

6
00:00:12,760 --> 00:00:15,280
Speaker 3: a lot, gained a lot of experience. So proud of

7
00:00:15,280 --> 00:00:16,079
Speaker 3: the way I performed.

8
00:00:16,280 --> 00:00:18,279
Speaker 4: Sure, And when you worked uh this off season with

9
00:00:18,400 --> 00:00:20,439
Speaker 4: Wally Anderson? Can you talked about the work and so

10
00:00:20,680 --> 00:00:23,120
Speaker 4: much what it's taught you. Do you feel more comfortable?

11
00:00:23,320 --> 00:00:25,279
Speaker 4: Have you found a stance that you feel more comfortable with?

12
00:00:25,720 --> 00:00:25,919
Speaker 2: Yeah?

13
00:00:26,000 --> 00:00:28,360
Speaker 3: Working with really was cool, just gaining a lot of

14
00:00:28,360 --> 00:00:30,280
Speaker 3: his knowledge and he was a Pro Bowl player. We

15
00:00:30,280 --> 00:00:32,600
Speaker 3: were just playing around with my stance, like seeing what's comfortable,

16
00:00:32,640 --> 00:00:35,360
Speaker 3: seeing what's not comfortable on a stands that I can be.

17
00:00:35,320 --> 00:00:37,320
Speaker 2: Functioning a lot of and uh explode out of and

18
00:00:37,320 --> 00:00:37,919
Speaker 2: stuff like that.

19
00:00:38,680 --> 00:00:40,600
Speaker 4: How much do you think that act? And I know

20
00:00:40,640 --> 00:00:42,360
Speaker 4: you've never gonna make an excuses, but you need and

21
00:00:42,440 --> 00:00:44,519
Speaker 4: you probably like you were last year?

22
00:00:44,520 --> 00:00:46,360
Speaker 2: How much of that was the factor? Finding that go?

23
00:00:46,560 --> 00:00:47,800
Speaker 2: Or it wasn't effective.

24
00:00:47,920 --> 00:00:49,599
Speaker 3: I mean a lot of guys you know get bingmed up,

25
00:00:49,640 --> 00:00:51,319
Speaker 3: get uh get banged up. I wasn't the only one

26
00:00:51,320 --> 00:00:52,720
Speaker 3: out there dealing with stuff.

27
00:00:52,920 --> 00:00:55,080
Speaker 2: How did you get uh okay up with WILLI Anderson.

28
00:00:56,880 --> 00:00:59,320
Speaker 3: It's on Instagram, through Instagram and stuff like that. Uh,

29
00:00:59,400 --> 00:01:01,480
Speaker 3: We've been c necting and stuff like that. I've re

30
00:01:01,520 --> 00:01:04,120
Speaker 3: knew with each other, you know, renew of each other, uh,

31
00:01:04,120 --> 00:01:06,959
Speaker 3: prior to us working and stuff. But really just social media.

32
00:01:07,319 --> 00:01:09,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, getting comfortable and I guess how did he How

33
00:01:09,959 --> 00:01:10,920
Speaker 1: did you work on your stands?

34
00:01:10,959 --> 00:01:11,920
Speaker 2: How did it change up with that?

35
00:01:12,720 --> 00:01:15,399
Speaker 3: Uh? Yeah, Like I said, just seeing like whether I'm

36
00:01:15,440 --> 00:01:18,000
Speaker 3: wadded it or not my base or narrowing it or

37
00:01:18,080 --> 00:01:20,000
Speaker 3: just seeing what's comfortable. You gotta be able to be

38
00:01:20,040 --> 00:01:22,120
Speaker 3: functioning in your stance and be able to uh move

39
00:01:22,160 --> 00:01:23,280
Speaker 3: efficiently out of your stand.

40
00:01:23,319 --> 00:01:24,600
Speaker 2: So that's what we were trying to find.

41
00:01:24,680 --> 00:01:27,120
Speaker 3: Just finding a base that I'm quick out of, that's

42
00:01:27,200 --> 00:01:29,240
Speaker 3: comfortable for me, in a stance that I can you know,

43
00:01:29,319 --> 00:01:31,280
Speaker 3: get in and repeat rep after rep after up.

44
00:01:31,440 --> 00:01:33,640
Speaker 5: So is that is that something you are trying out

45
00:01:33,800 --> 00:01:35,520
Speaker 5: or something that you are never doing?

46
00:01:36,040 --> 00:01:39,840
Speaker 3: It's something that it's a continuation just going to continue

47
00:01:39,880 --> 00:01:42,280
Speaker 3: to get work, just to continue to work and get

48
00:01:42,319 --> 00:01:45,160
Speaker 3: better and just in every facet of the game, you know,

49
00:01:45,280 --> 00:01:48,480
Speaker 3: regardless of whether it's my stance or my hands or

50
00:01:48,520 --> 00:01:49,919
Speaker 3: my pad level or whatever.

51
00:01:50,200 --> 00:01:51,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, is that something you.

52
00:01:51,080 --> 00:01:53,120
Speaker 6: Were eager to do, like, hey, I I wanna get better,

53
00:01:53,160 --> 00:01:55,120
Speaker 6: Let's see what I can tweak. Or when you've had

54
00:01:55,160 --> 00:01:59,200
Speaker 6: success doing stuff m technically one way, you might some

55
00:01:59,240 --> 00:02:02,440
Speaker 6: guys might be resist I guess to making any changes, like, look,

56
00:02:02,480 --> 00:02:05,480
Speaker 6: I've gotten this far doing it this way.

57
00:02:05,680 --> 00:02:07,360
Speaker 2: I mean, I'm open to change. In this league, you

58
00:02:07,360 --> 00:02:09,760
Speaker 2: gotta be able to adapt. You know, I've done a

59
00:02:09,800 --> 00:02:10,440
Speaker 2: lot of things.

60
00:02:10,280 --> 00:02:12,200
Speaker 3: That worked for me in the past. I've done things

61
00:02:12,240 --> 00:02:14,600
Speaker 3: that haven't worked so well. So this is just another

62
00:02:14,600 --> 00:02:17,280
Speaker 3: one of those things, me trying something new, just seeing

63
00:02:17,280 --> 00:02:18,600
Speaker 3: how it could get better in any way.

64
00:02:19,400 --> 00:02:19,600
Speaker 2: Way.

65
00:02:19,600 --> 00:02:22,360
Speaker 4: Don't could speed at the game, And that's that's usually

66
00:02:22,440 --> 00:02:24,519
Speaker 4: a big challenge for young guys when to get to

67
00:02:24,560 --> 00:02:27,040
Speaker 4: the NFL. How did that slow down for you? What

68
00:02:27,080 --> 00:02:28,480
Speaker 4: did you do to help that slow down?

69
00:02:28,800 --> 00:02:30,400
Speaker 2: When it comes to that, it's really just reps. It

70
00:02:30,480 --> 00:02:31,480
Speaker 2: all boil down, the reps.

71
00:02:32,520 --> 00:02:34,480
Speaker 3: Just the more I went out there and played, the

72
00:02:34,480 --> 00:02:36,040
Speaker 3: more and more comfortable and confident that.

73
00:02:36,000 --> 00:02:41,160
Speaker 5: I got, he said this year versus last year. This year,

74
00:02:41,200 --> 00:02:43,800
Speaker 5: you actually know and feel what it's like to play

75
00:02:43,800 --> 00:02:47,320
Speaker 5: in the NFL. How strong guys are, how fast they are?

76
00:02:47,639 --> 00:02:50,320
Speaker 5: Did you pick up same thing once the season ended?

77
00:02:50,840 --> 00:02:53,400
Speaker 5: Come out here now knowing you know, now I felt it.

78
00:02:53,520 --> 00:02:55,440
Speaker 5: I can come out here and take her with what I.

79
00:02:55,360 --> 00:02:58,000
Speaker 3: Got, right, Like nothing's a surprise now, Like I know

80
00:02:58,120 --> 00:03:00,280
Speaker 3: what to expect, Like I know what the NFL level

81
00:03:00,360 --> 00:03:03,120
Speaker 3: game is, and yeah, just doing what I can to

82
00:03:03,160 --> 00:03:06,920
Speaker 3: go out there, you know, performing and play well. So

83
00:03:06,960 --> 00:03:09,040
Speaker 3: it's definitely good that I got the experience that I

84
00:03:09,040 --> 00:03:11,040
Speaker 3: did last year carrying over into this season.

85
00:03:11,480 --> 00:03:12,800
Speaker 2: So back to the.

86
00:03:12,840 --> 00:03:15,560
Speaker 1: Stance, did you feel comfortable in the stand during last year? Like,

87
00:03:15,560 --> 00:03:17,000
Speaker 1: I'm sure it feels like a big thing than kind

88
00:03:17,000 --> 00:03:18,639
Speaker 1: of a job. So sure, it's how you come about

89
00:03:18,960 --> 00:03:19,360
Speaker 1: doing that.

90
00:03:19,760 --> 00:03:22,079
Speaker 3: I mean, yeah, I feel comfortable. I mean, but with anything,

91
00:03:22,120 --> 00:03:23,720
Speaker 3: you wanna refine it to the point of where you

92
00:03:23,720 --> 00:03:26,080
Speaker 3: know you can get better results out of it, you know.

93
00:03:26,120 --> 00:03:28,000
Speaker 2: So it wasn't the fact that I was uncomfortable.

94
00:03:28,320 --> 00:03:31,000
Speaker 3: I was just analyzing my game and I was like, Okay, well,

95
00:03:31,000 --> 00:03:33,040
Speaker 3: maybe if I treat the disappoint on my stands, you know,

96
00:03:33,120 --> 00:03:35,200
Speaker 3: maybe I'll be able to get into my pas set quicker,

97
00:03:35,560 --> 00:03:37,600
Speaker 3: or maybe I'll be more balanced whenever I take my

98
00:03:37,640 --> 00:03:40,160
Speaker 3: pass set. So really, it's just a refining type of thing.

99
00:03:40,720 --> 00:03:43,320
Speaker 4: But you were also making a transition from the left side.

100
00:03:43,360 --> 00:03:45,360
Speaker 4: You played the left side in your final year college

101
00:03:45,400 --> 00:03:47,280
Speaker 4: and then switched to the right side, so they had

102
00:03:47,320 --> 00:03:48,680
Speaker 4: to be in the Justin Barren thing.

103
00:03:48,600 --> 00:03:52,080
Speaker 3: Now, Yeah, going from a l a left handed stance

104
00:03:52,120 --> 00:03:54,640
Speaker 3: to a right handed stance. Thankfully, I've done it before

105
00:03:54,760 --> 00:03:56,760
Speaker 3: cause I played through different positions at Alabama, you know

106
00:03:56,800 --> 00:03:58,400
Speaker 3: what I'm saying. So it wasn't that big of a deal.

107
00:03:58,880 --> 00:04:00,360
Speaker 3: The main thing is, I feel like I guess your

108
00:04:00,400 --> 00:04:03,080
Speaker 3: hip alignments and stuff like that. Just making sure that

109
00:04:03,240 --> 00:04:05,760
Speaker 3: my hips, you know, get back adjusted to the right side.

110
00:04:06,080 --> 00:04:07,920
Speaker 2: You know, that's the biggest thing that I deal with.

111
00:04:08,600 --> 00:04:09,920
Speaker 2: Have three laurn forgive me.

112
00:04:09,920 --> 00:04:11,840
Speaker 6: How much were you working with William orcept?

113
00:04:11,880 --> 00:04:13,560
Speaker 2: Was it like a week long thing? Was it like

114
00:04:13,600 --> 00:04:16,400
Speaker 2: you s all or was it like months all off season?

115
00:04:16,440 --> 00:04:17,960
Speaker 2: How much time did you get spent together?

116
00:04:18,240 --> 00:04:19,919
Speaker 3: He came up here and we worked for a few days,

117
00:04:20,200 --> 00:04:22,320
Speaker 3: watched the film, got on the field work some different

118
00:04:22,320 --> 00:04:25,239
Speaker 3: technique things, and uh, we have dinalogue. We keep in contact,

119
00:04:25,279 --> 00:04:26,760
Speaker 3: We keep in touch with each other, you know, just

120
00:04:26,760 --> 00:04:28,560
Speaker 3: talk ball, you know what I'm saying. Not everything has

121
00:04:28,600 --> 00:04:29,240
Speaker 3: to be physical.

122
00:04:29,440 --> 00:04:31,840
Speaker 2: You know, was up here? Yeah?

123
00:04:31,920 --> 00:04:35,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, did you stay up here other than have a family?

124
00:04:35,200 --> 00:04:36,640
Speaker 1: You're up here all off season? Or where did you

125
00:04:36,720 --> 00:04:37,440
Speaker 1: like train?

126
00:04:37,680 --> 00:04:38,159
Speaker 2: I was here.

127
00:04:38,200 --> 00:04:41,200
Speaker 3: I was there, you know, just spending time, uh with

128
00:04:41,240 --> 00:04:43,919
Speaker 3: my family, having a little bit of fun and I

129
00:04:44,000 --> 00:04:47,520
Speaker 3: was working. I love the contacts been limited, But what

130
00:04:47,560 --> 00:04:49,120
Speaker 3: has it been like kind of testing out some of

131
00:04:49,120 --> 00:04:51,240
Speaker 3: this stuff against guys like Caveon if you came in

132
00:04:51,240 --> 00:04:52,719
Speaker 3: with last year, was like, it was really good at

133
00:04:52,720 --> 00:04:56,600
Speaker 3: the house that ironing. Yeah, it's always fun. You get

134
00:04:56,640 --> 00:04:58,920
Speaker 3: to go up against like another body, Like it's easy

135
00:04:58,920 --> 00:05:00,280
Speaker 3: for me to go out there and take pass sets

136
00:05:00,279 --> 00:05:02,599
Speaker 3: against air. But you know, even though it's walk through speed,

137
00:05:02,600 --> 00:05:04,120
Speaker 3: you kind of get to, you know, go through the

138
00:05:04,160 --> 00:05:07,880
Speaker 3: feel of how you feeling, like just my balance, my base,

139
00:05:08,120 --> 00:05:09,240
Speaker 3: like my hands and my feet.

140
00:05:09,279 --> 00:05:11,400
Speaker 2: Hi, everything's matching and stuff like that. So it was cool.

141
00:05:11,920 --> 00:05:13,880
Speaker 3: You know even though that his walk through faces you

142
00:05:13,920 --> 00:05:16,760
Speaker 3: know at this point, really I ain't sharpening it too

143
00:05:16,839 --> 00:05:19,200
Speaker 3: much when you walking through, but it's still it's still

144
00:05:19,240 --> 00:05:20,240
Speaker 3: good to just go through the motion.

145
00:05:20,320 --> 00:05:21,520
Speaker 2: You don't get the muscle me we're in the.

146
00:05:21,640 --> 00:05:25,680
Speaker 4: Ups and said you were proud of your rookie season

147
00:05:25,800 --> 00:05:27,640
Speaker 4: and there was still some adversity.

148
00:05:27,680 --> 00:05:30,039
Speaker 1: I mean, what do you what are you proud of

149
00:05:30,279 --> 00:05:31,400
Speaker 1: the way that you handled it?

150
00:05:32,400 --> 00:05:36,120
Speaker 3: Yeah, And I'm sure adversity is a part of everything.

151
00:05:36,360 --> 00:05:38,960
Speaker 3: And just how battle with some things, whether it be

152
00:05:39,040 --> 00:05:41,440
Speaker 3: UH injuries, having a miss time and stuff like that,

153
00:05:42,560 --> 00:05:44,080
Speaker 3: playing through like bad games and.

154
00:05:44,040 --> 00:05:44,560
Speaker 2: Things like that.

155
00:05:44,600 --> 00:05:46,480
Speaker 3: I just like the way that I, uh, I was

156
00:05:46,520 --> 00:05:48,520
Speaker 3: able to be resilient, you know, through it all, finished

157
00:05:48,520 --> 00:05:51,360
Speaker 3: the year strong. UH didn't complaint or anything or just

158
00:05:51,360 --> 00:05:53,520
Speaker 3: went out there every Sunday, you know, and gave it

159
