Speaker 3: funny today. Uh, Jaguars defensive tackle Devon Hamilton, Davon, thanks

8
00:00:30,360 --> 00:00:33,360
Speaker 3: for doing this, no problem, and uh, you know, it

9
00:00:34,000 --> 00:00:36,640
Speaker 3: strikes me we were talking right for one in the

10
00:00:36,680 --> 00:00:39,879
Speaker 3: air sixth year And I always ask guys, you know,

11
00:00:40,360 --> 00:00:42,519
Speaker 3: once they get to sort of your stage in your career,

12
00:00:43,120 --> 00:00:44,360
Speaker 3: always feel short.

13
00:00:44,120 --> 00:00:47,040
Speaker 2: Looking back on it. Six years crazy.

14
00:00:46,720 --> 00:00:49,400
Speaker 1: Though, right, Yeah, it's crazy. You know, Like I said,

15
00:00:49,680 --> 00:00:53,400
Speaker 1: I've seen a lot, been through a lot. It's blessed

16
00:00:53,400 --> 00:01:00,800
Speaker 1: to be here. You've been through COVID, yeah, Urban, yeah.

17
00:00:59,440 --> 00:01:03,560
Speaker 3: Peterson and now this, I mean, it's a that is

18
00:01:03,600 --> 00:01:06,320
Speaker 3: a lot. So I assume you feel.

19
00:01:06,040 --> 00:01:08,080
Speaker 2: Like you know how the NFL works been out right.

20
00:01:08,000 --> 00:01:11,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think I have a pretty clear understanding of

21
00:01:11,120 --> 00:01:12,040
Speaker 1: what's going on.

22
00:01:12,080 --> 00:01:14,200
Speaker 2: But it it's got to be through.

23
00:01:14,640 --> 00:01:16,160
Speaker 3: And you know, we joke because it's been a long

24
00:01:16,280 --> 00:01:18,120
Speaker 3: road for a lot of you guys who've been around.

25
00:01:19,200 --> 00:01:22,959
Speaker 3: What is it like for you being a part of

26
00:01:23,040 --> 00:01:24,240
Speaker 3: how it feels right now?

27
00:01:25,400 --> 00:01:28,319
Speaker 1: Uh, it's pretty cool, you know. I mean, anytime your

28
00:01:28,360 --> 00:01:30,760
Speaker 1: team is winning and you feel like your team is

29
00:01:30,840 --> 00:01:32,880
Speaker 1: jelling a lot more, I feel like it's very cool

30
00:01:32,880 --> 00:01:34,840
Speaker 1: because you obviously, I know what it's like to not

31
00:01:35,120 --> 00:01:37,880
Speaker 1: sure be jelling or not be winning, So it's it's

32
00:01:38,240 --> 00:01:42,160
Speaker 1: very cool, especially with new people around and kind of

33
00:01:42,200 --> 00:01:43,920
Speaker 1: dealing with that change at the beginning of the year

34
00:01:43,959 --> 00:01:46,280
Speaker 1: and whatnot. But it's been pretty cool.

35
00:01:46,840 --> 00:01:48,880
Speaker 3: I'm going to ask you about the team overall in

36
00:01:48,880 --> 00:01:50,920
Speaker 3: a second, but it struck me as I was sort

37
00:01:50,960 --> 00:01:58,840
Speaker 3: of preparing for this, Josh Trayvon Smooth being back. You

38
00:01:58,880 --> 00:02:01,520
Speaker 3: guys have something special there as a group, don't.

39
00:02:01,320 --> 00:02:03,240
Speaker 1: You for sure. I mean we've known each other for

40
00:02:03,280 --> 00:02:05,320
Speaker 1: a while. We work out during the off season together.

41
00:02:05,400 --> 00:02:07,280
Speaker 1: We try to hang out as much as possible too,

42
00:02:07,360 --> 00:02:09,640
Speaker 1: so it's like, you know, you just really just go

43
00:02:09,720 --> 00:02:11,880
Speaker 1: and work with your brothers and trying to figure out

44
00:02:12,120 --> 00:02:13,720
Speaker 1: what they like to do, what we like to do,

45
00:02:13,800 --> 00:02:15,240
Speaker 1: you know, try to how do we won't win this

46
00:02:15,320 --> 00:02:18,160
Speaker 1: game or you know, you really rely on one another

47
00:02:18,440 --> 00:02:19,720
Speaker 1: more so than anything.

48
00:02:19,560 --> 00:02:22,360
Speaker 3: And it's a I assume a special chemistry. You know,

49
00:02:23,320 --> 00:02:25,960
Speaker 3: Josh who again he came in. I guess a year

50
00:02:26,000 --> 00:02:31,440
Speaker 3: before you did. I feel like this is sort of

51
00:02:31,480 --> 00:02:33,839
Speaker 3: your group now, I guess. I mean, I'm sure I'm

52
00:02:33,840 --> 00:02:37,560
Speaker 3: getting that with that, but I guess the ownership you

53
00:02:37,600 --> 00:02:39,160
Speaker 3: guys must take and what's going on?

54
00:02:40,440 --> 00:02:42,040
Speaker 2: Am I getting that right for sure?

55
00:02:42,120 --> 00:02:45,160
Speaker 1: I mean, I think I would love to think at

56
00:02:45,240 --> 00:02:49,639
Speaker 1: least majority of NFL teams start with their offensive defensive line.

57
00:02:49,639 --> 00:02:52,600
Speaker 1: I just have to, you know, and we take extreme

58
00:02:53,320 --> 00:02:56,840
Speaker 1: ownership over that as a group between all of us,

59
00:02:56,880 --> 00:02:59,640
Speaker 1: and I think that's really what we plan on doing

60
00:02:59,680 --> 00:03:01,320
Speaker 1: because we know we can take over games. You know,

61
00:03:01,360 --> 00:03:05,520
Speaker 1: you can win games for us as a team. So

62
00:03:05,720 --> 00:03:06,480
Speaker 1: that's how we feel.

63
00:03:08,320 --> 00:03:10,079
Speaker 3: We were just talking to Traves ETN in the locker

64
00:03:10,120 --> 00:03:12,000
Speaker 3: room and he mentioned something sort of.

65
00:03:11,960 --> 00:03:12,480
Speaker 2: Out of the blue.

66
00:03:12,520 --> 00:03:15,640
Speaker 3: Somebody asked him about this season if it's his best season,

67
00:03:16,520 --> 00:03:19,480
Speaker 3: and he really veered off quickly into being his favorite

68
00:03:19,480 --> 00:03:22,440
Speaker 3: season just because of how well this team gets along

69
00:03:23,200 --> 00:03:28,080
Speaker 3: and the chemistry, camaraderie whatever. You feel that talking to

70
00:03:28,160 --> 00:03:31,320
Speaker 3: a lot of guys, why is that and do you

71
00:03:31,320 --> 00:03:32,120
Speaker 3: feel the same way.

72
00:03:33,000 --> 00:03:34,440
Speaker 1: I just feel like we just hang out a lot

73
00:03:34,480 --> 00:03:36,960
Speaker 1: more I mean, guys are willing to hang out a

74
00:03:37,000 --> 00:03:39,240
Speaker 1: little bit more outside of the football and be able

75
00:03:39,280 --> 00:03:41,720
Speaker 1: to talk about outside stuff outside of football, you know,

76
00:03:41,840 --> 00:03:45,839
Speaker 1: care about each other's families, ultimately become closer in that

77
00:03:46,240 --> 00:03:49,000
Speaker 1: realm before ever even stepping on the football field. So

78
00:03:49,040 --> 00:03:51,680
Speaker 1: I feel like that's been the biggest change I feel like.

79
00:03:51,880 --> 00:03:57,400
Speaker 3: Or is that did coaching or management do something to

80
00:03:57,440 --> 00:03:57,920
Speaker 3: create that?

81
00:03:58,120 --> 00:03:58,280
Speaker 1: Is that?

82
00:03:58,560 --> 00:04:00,880
Speaker 2: Or it gets a lot of diff facts lead.

83
00:04:01,000 --> 00:04:02,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean I feel like it's a little bit

84
00:04:02,400 --> 00:04:04,400
Speaker 1: of everything. You know. I feel like guys are just

85
00:04:04,640 --> 00:04:08,320
Speaker 1: overall more intrigued and want to be to that level

86
00:04:08,360 --> 00:04:11,400
Speaker 1: with one another, and you know, coaching obviously wants to

87
00:04:11,400 --> 00:04:14,600
Speaker 1: do that to try to bring different aspects together as

88
00:04:14,680 --> 00:04:16,840
Speaker 1: far as like what if it's game day or you know,

89
00:04:16,920 --> 00:04:19,560
Speaker 1: stuff like that. You know, but uh, I think that's

90
00:04:19,680 --> 00:04:21,320
Speaker 1: a priority of most guys in the team.

91
00:04:21,640 --> 00:04:27,960
Speaker 3: Got why are you guys ranked number one in run defense?

92
00:04:28,520 --> 00:04:29,560
Speaker 2: What is made.

93
00:04:31,320 --> 00:04:33,719
Speaker 1: Unit? Honestly? You get to say our preparation, I mean,

94
00:04:33,960 --> 00:04:36,760
Speaker 1: each and every week, that's what we pride ourselves on.

95
00:04:36,920 --> 00:04:40,400
Speaker 1: I mean, that's how we win games. And you know,

96
00:04:40,480 --> 00:04:42,280
Speaker 1: we really have the guys that can do what we

97
00:04:42,320 --> 00:04:44,800
Speaker 1: want to do. So as long as everybody was what

98
00:04:44,880 --> 00:04:46,760
Speaker 1: they need to be and we communicate and we talk

99
00:04:46,800 --> 00:04:49,920
Speaker 1: it out, I think we can be like right where

100
00:04:49,920 --> 00:04:50,560
Speaker 1: we are right now.

101
00:04:50,920 --> 00:04:54,000
Speaker 3: How much pride does the group take in that? Because

102
00:04:54,080 --> 00:04:56,160
Speaker 3: every time you talk to one of you guys, that's

103
00:04:56,200 --> 00:04:58,800
Speaker 3: the first thing you mentioned, it's stop the run so.

104
00:04:58,760 --> 00:05:00,000
Speaker 2: You get to do other things.

105
00:05:00,640 --> 00:05:02,360
Speaker 3: And for you to stop the run so you can

106
00:05:02,800 --> 00:05:05,719
Speaker 3: go to somebody else, yeah.

107
00:05:04,839 --> 00:05:07,640
Speaker 1: It happens. But yeah, I mean it's very important for us,

108
00:05:07,680 --> 00:05:11,240
Speaker 1: you know. I mean if you especially for a team

109
00:05:11,279 --> 00:05:13,640
Speaker 1: that we're about to play. Sure they're they're a heavy

110
00:05:13,720 --> 00:05:16,560
Speaker 1: run team, but the team the games that they do

111
00:05:16,720 --> 00:05:19,320
Speaker 1: lose or games that they're not running very well. I

112
00:05:19,360 --> 00:05:21,920
Speaker 1: mean that's majority of the NFL. I mean, if you

113
00:05:22,120 --> 00:05:24,920
Speaker 1: can stop the running back, you can stop there, make

114
00:05:24,960 --> 00:05:27,440
Speaker 1: them one dimensional. That's how you win games.

115
00:05:27,920 --> 00:05:29,960
Speaker 3: I know you've covered this before, but for the time

116
00:05:29,960 --> 00:05:31,120
Speaker 3: I had a chance to talk to you one on

117
00:05:31,120 --> 00:05:34,799
Speaker 3: one like this. How high were you off the ground

118
00:05:35,400 --> 00:05:36,560
Speaker 3: against Vegas on the play?

119
00:05:36,800 --> 00:05:39,599
Speaker 1: I don't even know. You know, I was vertical, I

120
00:05:39,600 --> 00:05:41,680
Speaker 1: would assume so, but you know I was just out

121
00:05:41,720 --> 00:05:42,599
Speaker 1: there just trying to play.

122
00:05:43,360 --> 00:05:44,640
Speaker 2: Say it was twelve feet I'm not sure it was

123
00:05:44,640 --> 00:05:45,360
Speaker 2: twelve feet.

124
00:05:45,360 --> 00:05:46,960
Speaker 1: It felt like it. It felt like I was floating

125
00:05:47,040 --> 00:05:49,200
Speaker 1: up there, you know. But yeah, I was just you know,

126
00:05:49,360 --> 00:05:51,520
Speaker 1: trying to play the game, trying to win the game

127
00:05:51,560 --> 00:05:54,800
Speaker 1: for us. Actually, I could say I genuinely didn't even

128
00:05:54,800 --> 00:05:56,880
Speaker 1: know where we were in the game. I was just playing,

129
00:05:57,040 --> 00:05:58,159
Speaker 1: just playing.

130
00:05:58,000 --> 00:05:59,240
Speaker 2: Which is probably where you play your best.

131
00:05:59,400 --> 00:06:01,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, you know, just not thinking about anything other than

132
00:06:01,800 --> 00:06:04,560
Speaker 1: winning a game, you know. And you know, that moment

133
00:06:04,560 --> 00:06:06,279
Speaker 1: was so exciting for us. It was a big moment

134
00:06:06,320 --> 00:06:08,080
Speaker 1: for us as a team. Sure, you know, it was

135
00:06:08,080 --> 00:06:10,360
Speaker 1: a big game for us. So I was excited to

136
00:06:10,360 --> 00:06:11,120
Speaker 1: be able to do that.

137
00:06:11,520 --> 00:06:13,400
Speaker 3: Now I'm asking these couple of questions to get to

138
00:06:13,440 --> 00:06:16,719
Speaker 3: something else, So beary with me. Okay, obviously long snapping

139
00:06:17,520 --> 00:06:22,760
Speaker 3: is a topic for you. Tell me what the moments

140
00:06:22,839 --> 00:06:26,159
Speaker 3: on the sideline were like when they said, hey, you're

141
00:06:26,800 --> 00:06:29,560
Speaker 3: you're going to be up for this. A lot of snaps,

142
00:06:29,640 --> 00:06:32,719
Speaker 3: a lot of I mean, you're a chill guys, assume

143
00:06:32,800 --> 00:06:33,680
Speaker 3: no panic.

144
00:06:33,400 --> 00:06:37,320
Speaker 1: No inside, no, no panic. It's probably been a little

145
00:06:37,360 --> 00:06:39,880
Speaker 1: bit a little bit of nervousness just because I haven't

146
00:06:39,880 --> 00:06:42,560
Speaker 1: really practiced just for in a minute. And uh, you know,

147
00:06:42,640 --> 00:06:45,080
Speaker 1: I had my braces on because you know, the evensive lineman.

148
00:06:45,279 --> 00:06:47,400
Speaker 1: You know, it's a little rougher, so I be able

149
00:06:47,400 --> 00:06:50,280
Speaker 1: to snap with my brass rather than like being at practice,

150
00:06:50,320 --> 00:06:52,320
Speaker 1: I could snap with dout them or whatever. I was

151
00:06:52,320 --> 00:06:54,719
Speaker 1: a little bit nerve racking at first, but once you

152
00:06:54,720 --> 00:06:56,880
Speaker 1: got out there, I mean I just wanted to make

153
00:06:56,880 --> 00:06:59,680
Speaker 1: sure I made all my snaps like two logan and

154
00:07:00,640 --> 00:07:01,760
Speaker 1: operation was smooth.

155
00:07:01,839 --> 00:07:03,599
Speaker 2: You know that was any of them or when they

156
00:07:03,720 --> 00:07:04,720
Speaker 2: released you thought.

157
00:07:04,720 --> 00:07:07,279
Speaker 1: Oh no, I was just snapping them and going snapping

158
00:07:07,279 --> 00:07:10,480
Speaker 1: and going there or even trying to well trying to

159
00:07:10,480 --> 00:07:11,520
Speaker 1: think about it just wasn't.

160
00:07:11,600 --> 00:07:14,200
Speaker 3: Yeah, just going I think through the brace, like how

161
00:07:14,280 --> 00:07:17,880
Speaker 3: free were your hands? You're still basically dealing with stuff

162
00:07:17,880 --> 00:07:19,040
Speaker 3: on them, Yeah.

163
00:07:18,880 --> 00:07:20,560
Speaker 1: You know, just a little bit of stuff from the season,

164
00:07:20,640 --> 00:07:23,640
Speaker 1: you know. But yeah, it's it's not you know, I'm

165
00:07:23,680 --> 00:07:25,200
Speaker 1: not getting a whole bunch of bend in my wrists,

166
00:07:25,560 --> 00:07:28,280
Speaker 1: you know. So it's really got more so of palming

167
00:07:28,640 --> 00:07:29,840
Speaker 1: more than anything I got.

168
00:07:29,880 --> 00:07:34,640
Speaker 3: You that's big time stuff. You had five snaps. It's

169
00:07:34,640 --> 00:07:37,360
Speaker 3: still a tight game. Any one of those goes awry, yeah,

170
00:07:37,600 --> 00:07:39,520
Speaker 3: it could be a different game. So you knew it

171
00:07:39,560 --> 00:07:41,480
Speaker 3: was a moment that you had to come through.

172
00:07:41,640 --> 00:07:44,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, you know, I had confidence in myself.

173
00:07:44,240 --> 00:07:46,080
Speaker 1: I've been, like, like you probably heard before, I've been

174
00:07:46,120 --> 00:07:48,440
Speaker 1: waiting for this for like six years, you know, and

175
00:07:48,560 --> 00:07:51,120
Speaker 1: I haven't snapped in the game since high school. So

176
00:07:52,360 --> 00:07:54,520
Speaker 1: I was excited. You know, I ain't never got the

177
00:07:54,600 --> 00:07:57,880
Speaker 1: experience this side of the NFL. You know, special teams,

178
00:07:58,040 --> 00:07:59,960
Speaker 1: you know, you know, the guys that play on special

179
00:08:00,240 --> 00:08:02,080
Speaker 1: you see it and whatnot. But being out there with

180
00:08:02,120 --> 00:08:04,440
Speaker 1: them and seeing how they operate and that type of

181
00:08:04,480 --> 00:08:06,520
Speaker 1: deal is a different, different aspect of football.

182
00:08:06,560 --> 00:08:08,800
Speaker 2: And I said appreciation for Ross after.

183
00:08:08,600 --> 00:08:11,240
Speaker 1: That, Yeah, yeah, for sure, I get it.

184
00:08:11,320 --> 00:08:14,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm want to clarify something. It was sort of

185
00:08:14,560 --> 00:08:17,320
Speaker 2: your dream to do this, but you would rather never

186
00:08:17,360 --> 00:08:17,880
Speaker 2: do it again.

187
00:08:18,200 --> 00:08:20,280
Speaker 1: You know. I'm okay with being an emergency guy. I

188
00:08:20,280 --> 00:08:23,280
Speaker 1: don't want ever want to be the main quarterback. Yeah, yeah,

189
00:08:23,840 --> 00:08:27,080
Speaker 1: I don't ever want to be the main guy. Don't

190
00:08:27,120 --> 00:08:31,000
Speaker 1: get that twisted. If I have to, I will, But yeah,

191
00:08:31,720 --> 00:08:33,959
Speaker 1: I guess I have a huge appreciation for Ross. I

192
00:08:34,040 --> 00:08:37,200
Speaker 1: understand this deal. I get it. You know, I'm gonna

193
00:08:37,240 --> 00:08:38,800
Speaker 1: let him step into that realm.

194
00:08:38,840 --> 00:08:41,160
Speaker 2: Better to have done it than to be doing it.

195
00:08:41,240 --> 00:08:43,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, for sure, for sure.

196
00:08:43,040 --> 00:08:48,080
Speaker 3: I got you, And again the irony here is the

197
00:08:48,120 --> 00:08:51,520
Speaker 3: media and myself has talked to you about the Vegas game,

198
00:08:52,200 --> 00:08:56,720
Speaker 3: about the snap. But you're maybe having your best season

199
00:08:57,200 --> 00:09:00,000
Speaker 3: and playing at an extremely high level, which you wouldn't say.

200
00:09:00,080 --> 00:09:02,120
Speaker 3: I know you're a humble guy. The everything you hear

201
00:09:02,280 --> 00:09:05,319
Speaker 3: is that von Hamilt's a big reason this team's ranked

202
00:09:05,400 --> 00:09:07,720
Speaker 3: number one in defense, or I'm going to run defense.

203
00:09:08,320 --> 00:09:11,120
Speaker 3: Do you feel like you're playing as well as that?

204
00:09:11,320 --> 00:09:13,160
Speaker 1: I mean, I always want to play better. I mean

205
00:09:13,679 --> 00:09:16,480
Speaker 1: I'm enjoying the season. I'm enjoying what I have to

206
00:09:16,520 --> 00:09:19,920
Speaker 1: do for my team. But you know, I always got goals.

207
00:09:19,960 --> 00:09:22,880
Speaker 1: I got to keep on striving for. But as as

208
00:09:22,920 --> 00:09:24,600
Speaker 1: far as what I can do for my team and

209
00:09:24,640 --> 00:09:26,560
Speaker 1: what my team's asking me for, I think I do

210
00:09:26,600 --> 00:09:27,679
Speaker 1: a pretty good job at it.

211
00:09:28,000 --> 00:09:31,400
Speaker 3: Did it take a while to get back to where

212
00:09:31,440 --> 00:09:34,240
Speaker 3: you were after the back stuff or is that not really?

213
00:09:35,800 --> 00:09:39,480
Speaker 1: I just feel like I was coming back that the

214
00:09:39,600 --> 00:09:42,160
Speaker 1: year I came back afterwards was a little bit rougher.

215
00:09:42,240 --> 00:09:44,800
Speaker 1: But that following year, which is last year, right, I

216
00:09:44,800 --> 00:09:45,880
Speaker 1: felt completely fine.

217
00:09:45,960 --> 00:09:47,760
Speaker 2: Okay, gotcha, because that was the thing.

218
00:09:47,800 --> 00:09:49,800
Speaker 3: For people who don't know, that was a brutal thing.

219
00:09:49,880 --> 00:09:53,360
Speaker 3: That you went through in twenty three, so you know,

220
00:09:53,600 --> 00:09:56,240
Speaker 3: to come back from that you have talked about a

221
00:09:56,240 --> 00:09:58,040
Speaker 3: whole lot, But I know it's not an easy road.

222
00:09:58,040 --> 00:10:00,360
Speaker 1: Not at all, get back to where you are. It

223
00:10:00,400 --> 00:10:03,160
Speaker 1: was definitely very testing. But at the same time, like

224
00:10:03,520 --> 00:10:06,679
Speaker 1: I probably people probably heard them, I'm extremely blessed for it, right,

225
00:10:06,760 --> 00:10:08,599
Speaker 1: you know, that was the moment in time where I

226
00:10:08,720 --> 00:10:12,640
Speaker 1: really got to become closer with God, learn more about myself,

227
00:10:12,880 --> 00:10:14,559
Speaker 1: be with my family a little bit more. So. It

228
00:10:14,679 --> 00:10:17,319
Speaker 1: was a blessing in disguise. Really got you.

229
00:10:18,040 --> 00:10:20,079
Speaker 3: I'm sure you always appreciated the game, but more of

230
00:10:20,120 --> 00:10:23,520
Speaker 3: an appreciation for the game and for playing at a

231
00:10:23,559 --> 00:10:25,320
Speaker 3: high level after you go through that for sure.

232
00:10:25,440 --> 00:10:29,160
Speaker 1: You know, you know, he don't necessarily know at the

233
00:10:29,240 --> 00:10:31,240
Speaker 1: time whether or not you're ever going to come back

234
00:10:31,280 --> 00:10:34,000
Speaker 1: and play football game. It gets really real, it does,

235
00:10:34,600 --> 00:10:37,080
Speaker 1: and I wasn't sure at the time whether or not

236
00:10:37,120 --> 00:10:39,560
Speaker 1: that was going to happen. Like I said, I'm extremely

237
00:10:39,559 --> 00:10:41,679
Speaker 1: blessed to be back here, extreme blessed to be you

238
00:10:41,760 --> 00:10:44,319
Speaker 1: still playing for the Jaguars got you. You know, I

239
00:10:44,400 --> 00:10:46,080
Speaker 1: can't complain about anything.

240
00:10:46,320 --> 00:10:48,679
Speaker 2: You strike me, And let me say I get this right.

241
00:10:50,200 --> 00:10:53,199
Speaker 3: You play a position that's going to usually be overlooked,

242
00:10:55,360 --> 00:10:57,280
Speaker 3: that really doesn't seem to bother you a whole lot.

243
00:10:57,720 --> 00:11:00,000
Speaker 1: You know, I find it fun. You know, maybe not

244
00:11:00,120 --> 00:11:02,360
Speaker 1: everybody does, you know what. I love to do a

245
00:11:02,360 --> 00:11:04,240
Speaker 1: little bit more here and there. Yeah, for sure, But

246
00:11:04,480 --> 00:11:06,720
Speaker 1: I mean it's fun for me. I get to make plays.

247
00:11:06,760 --> 00:11:09,320
Speaker 1: I get to make other people's jobs easier. You know,

248
00:11:09,520 --> 00:11:12,480
Speaker 1: I'm out there serving my teams and my teammates and

249
00:11:12,760 --> 00:11:14,679
Speaker 1: allowing them to make plays. I mean, it's always great

250
00:11:14,679 --> 00:11:16,400
Speaker 1: to see some of your teammates make plays. You know,

251
00:11:17,080 --> 00:11:19,440
Speaker 1: they say they're getting free and you're like, yeah, you know,

252
00:11:19,640 --> 00:11:23,200
Speaker 1: I contributed with that, you know. So for me, it's fun.

253
00:11:23,520 --> 00:11:26,320
Speaker 3: If somebody asked you, what do you need to do

254
00:11:26,400 --> 00:11:29,160
Speaker 3: at your position to play it at a high level,

255
00:11:29,200 --> 00:11:31,840
Speaker 3: because most people see gosh and they kind of know, okay,

256
00:11:31,840 --> 00:11:32,760
Speaker 3: he's got to do X.

257
00:11:33,000 --> 00:11:33,240
Speaker 1: Yeah.

258
00:11:33,880 --> 00:11:37,000
Speaker 3: When you come out of a game, how do you say, Okay,

259
00:11:37,800 --> 00:11:38,880
Speaker 3: this is what I did.

260
00:11:39,400 --> 00:11:40,640
Speaker 2: I'm not satisfying.

261
00:11:41,280 --> 00:11:45,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I think more so than anything. As a noseguard,

262
00:11:45,160 --> 00:11:47,000
Speaker 1: you got to know you got to be smart first

263
00:11:47,000 --> 00:11:48,880
Speaker 1: and foremast you gotta be smart. You got to know

264
00:11:48,920 --> 00:11:51,240
Speaker 1: what's going on. You got to have some some type

265
00:11:51,280 --> 00:11:53,120
Speaker 1: of awareness of what's going on around you and how

266
00:11:53,600 --> 00:11:57,040
Speaker 1: this can fit, how somebody's looking at it from behind you.

267
00:11:57,040 --> 00:11:59,240
Speaker 1: You know, as a linebacker you're looking at what where

268
00:11:59,280 --> 00:12:01,079
Speaker 1: is he going to be out on the block. And

269
00:12:01,120 --> 00:12:04,280
Speaker 1: then also just being technically sound. You know, you don't

270
00:12:04,280 --> 00:12:05,880
Speaker 1: got the technique to do it. I mean, you can

271
00:12:05,920 --> 00:12:07,840
Speaker 1: know all you want, but if you're not technically sound

272
00:12:07,960 --> 00:12:09,800
Speaker 1: with that, it's not going to work out.

273
00:12:09,760 --> 00:12:13,920
Speaker 3: Because most people would think knows guard. Okay, if you're

274
00:12:13,960 --> 00:12:17,360
Speaker 3: Vince wolfworking, can just take up space? Yeah, who is.

275
00:12:17,320 --> 00:12:18,560
Speaker 2: A man and human being?

276
00:12:18,720 --> 00:12:22,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, but most people wouldn't think the first part of

277
00:12:22,000 --> 00:12:25,320
Speaker 3: what you said, which is the awareness part. Yeah, it's

278
00:12:25,360 --> 00:12:28,840
Speaker 3: more than just taking the offensive guard and plugging.

279
00:12:28,520 --> 00:12:29,960
Speaker 2: A hole with you, right for sure?

280
00:12:30,040 --> 00:12:32,280
Speaker 1: I mean yeah, I think Also you're probably the closest

281
00:12:32,320 --> 00:12:34,880
Speaker 1: to the ball as well, closest to your man as well.

282
00:12:34,960 --> 00:12:36,680
Speaker 1: You know, a lot of things are happening really fast.

283
00:12:36,679 --> 00:12:39,000
Speaker 1: So if you can understand what's going on around you,

284
00:12:39,000 --> 00:12:41,600
Speaker 1: you can get ahead of plays. You can set up

285
00:12:41,600 --> 00:12:44,320
Speaker 1: plays for yourself, you can set up plays for another

286
00:12:44,480 --> 00:12:47,480
Speaker 1: Like knowing what what's supposed to happen is a big

287
00:12:47,520 --> 00:12:47,960
Speaker 1: part of it.

288
00:12:48,040 --> 00:12:52,120
Speaker 2: Got you more to grow for you.

289
00:12:52,720 --> 00:12:54,720
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean I'm always trying to improve. I feel

290
00:12:54,720 --> 00:12:57,000
Speaker 1: like it's a day to day thing for me. You know,

291
00:12:57,360 --> 00:13:00,200
Speaker 1: I'm trying to pick other people's minds and kind look

292
00:13:00,240 --> 00:13:02,600
Speaker 1: at different type of film to see what I can

293
00:13:02,640 --> 00:13:05,840
Speaker 1: add to my game. So it's always a constant growing

294
00:13:06,559 --> 00:13:08,000
Speaker 1: aspect of my game.

295
00:13:08,440 --> 00:13:10,480
Speaker 2: Is this the most fun you've had as a player?

296
00:13:10,920 --> 00:13:14,000
Speaker 1: Most fun I had? You know so far? Yeah, but

297
00:13:14,520 --> 00:13:17,800
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna lie. The playoffs was a lot a

298
00:13:17,840 --> 00:13:20,600
Speaker 1: couple of years shows, so I'm hoping we get even

299
00:13:20,640 --> 00:13:23,200
Speaker 1: further than that, you know, have a little bit more

300
00:13:23,240 --> 00:13:25,040
Speaker 1: fun than that. I'm excited.

301
00:13:25,280 --> 00:13:27,640
Speaker 3: But to be healthy, sixth year in your prime and

302
00:13:28,000 --> 00:13:30,520
Speaker 3: having a season like this good time to be to

303
00:13:30,600 --> 00:13:31,599
Speaker 3: Von Hamilton.

304
00:13:31,360 --> 00:13:37,000
Speaker 1: For sure, Always blessed, always a good time to all Right.

305
00:13:37,080 --> 00:13:44,600

306
00:13:44,480 --> 00:13:47,720
Speaker 2: Quick questions, Von Hamilton, what was your last binge watch?

307
00:13:48,320 --> 00:13:54,880
Speaker 1: Last binge watch? That's a tough one. Probably a new girl,

308
00:13:55,480 --> 00:13:57,280
Speaker 1: Probably a new girl. It's a funny show.

309
00:13:57,440 --> 00:13:59,880
Speaker 2: It's good, I've got I've gone through it twice.

310
00:14:00,080 --> 00:14:01,719
Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't think I'm on my third or four

311
00:14:01,800 --> 00:14:02,320
Speaker 1: time now.

312
00:14:02,320 --> 00:14:05,880
Speaker 3: Okay, good, Yeah, it really is pregame ritual of any kind,

313
00:14:05,920 --> 00:14:06,880
