Speaker 6: I appreciate you having really appreciate now. Oh no, they

40
00:02:38,120 --> 00:02:46,440
Speaker 6: woke up. Okay, very good, very good. So three out

41
00:02:46,440 --> 00:02:50,800
Speaker 6: of four. It's you kind of get used to the

42
00:02:50,960 --> 00:02:52,360
Speaker 6: good feeling again, don't you.

43
00:02:52,800 --> 00:02:56,520
Speaker 7: Yeah, definitely, definitely. Obviously it's a habit to win, so

44
00:02:56,800 --> 00:02:58,720
Speaker 7: you know, there's a wooing traditioning.

45
00:02:58,480 --> 00:02:59,560
Speaker 4: Usually at the Cowboys.

46
00:02:59,560 --> 00:03:02,679
Speaker 7: So just having that uh, you know, three out of four,

47
00:03:02,800 --> 00:03:04,280
Speaker 7: just being able to get back on our toes and

48
00:03:04,560 --> 00:03:05,520
Speaker 7: you know, do our thing.

49
00:03:05,840 --> 00:03:08,440
Speaker 2: How much tell me about that? It's a habit to win?

50
00:03:08,680 --> 00:03:12,480
Speaker 2: That great? I think it is, But habits are difficult

51
00:03:12,639 --> 00:03:18,040
Speaker 2: to form and harder to break, at least psychologically. So

52
00:03:18,120 --> 00:03:21,320
Speaker 2: what what what is the psychology? When you win a few,

53
00:03:21,360 --> 00:03:25,760
Speaker 2: do you kind of then as a team both expect

54
00:03:25,880 --> 00:03:27,840
Speaker 2: to win and expect to play better.

55
00:03:28,600 --> 00:03:32,200
Speaker 7: Uh, it's a little bit of you know, you don't

56
00:03:32,200 --> 00:03:34,720
Speaker 7: ever expect to win. You will never expect to do

57
00:03:34,760 --> 00:03:38,840
Speaker 7: anything because nothing is guaranteed. So you go into every mindset,

58
00:03:38,920 --> 00:03:41,360
Speaker 7: every game with the mindset of you know, I'm gonna

59
00:03:41,360 --> 00:03:44,160
Speaker 7: play my best, I'm gonna do as best I can,

60
00:03:44,200 --> 00:03:46,040
Speaker 7: and you know, you let the outcomes speak for yourself.

61
00:03:48,200 --> 00:03:49,840
Speaker 5: And I thought you're about to stop ahead of my bad.

62
00:03:50,280 --> 00:03:52,720
Speaker 7: And then when you have those wins, in those stacking

63
00:03:52,800 --> 00:03:56,000
Speaker 7: days and success, you know you kind of just you

64
00:03:56,000 --> 00:03:59,360
Speaker 7: stay levelheaded, you stay neutral, and you attack the next

65
00:03:59,360 --> 00:04:01,320
Speaker 7: week the same as you did the week before.

66
00:04:01,320 --> 00:04:02,360
Speaker 4: And you just keep going.

67
00:04:02,560 --> 00:04:04,720
Speaker 5: When you talk about attacking the next week, how do

68
00:04:04,800 --> 00:04:07,040
Speaker 5: you stay focused at the task at hand when you

69
00:04:07,120 --> 00:04:12,480
Speaker 5: have the topic of playoff conversation, you know, always surrounding

70
00:04:12,520 --> 00:04:15,360
Speaker 5: you guys and just you guys having to fight for

71
00:04:15,400 --> 00:04:17,440
Speaker 5: a spot in the playoffs. And Mike McCarthy had actually

72
00:04:17,480 --> 00:04:20,120
Speaker 5: mentions today that it's not something that has to be

73
00:04:20,160 --> 00:04:22,279
Speaker 5: talked about. You guys know where y'all are at. But

74
00:04:22,320 --> 00:04:24,560
Speaker 5: how do you stay focused on just going in and

75
00:04:24,600 --> 00:04:25,960
Speaker 5: playing week in and week out.

76
00:04:26,200 --> 00:04:31,839
Speaker 7: It's definitely just being able to compartmentalize, being able to

77
00:04:32,440 --> 00:04:35,640
Speaker 7: you know, just separate different things. And you know, when

78
00:04:35,640 --> 00:04:38,240
Speaker 7: you're at the facility, you're working, that's what you focus on.

79
00:04:38,440 --> 00:04:41,240
Speaker 7: When you're not there, you know, you focus on other

80
00:04:41,279 --> 00:04:44,080
Speaker 7: things and you you know, you keep everything, you know

81
00:04:44,160 --> 00:04:46,480
Speaker 7: separate and be able to lock in when you're supposed

82
00:04:46,520 --> 00:04:48,000
Speaker 7: to and you know, have your free.

83
00:04:47,880 --> 00:04:48,520
Speaker 4: Time when you have that.

84
00:04:49,640 --> 00:04:53,320
Speaker 5: Sorry, what was the mindset going into the game against

85
00:04:53,360 --> 00:04:53,960
Speaker 5: the Panthers?

86
00:04:55,120 --> 00:04:57,640
Speaker 7: The mindset? Our whole thing that we spoke about is

87
00:04:57,680 --> 00:05:01,680
Speaker 7: don't let us win so I can explay more, but

88
00:05:02,400 --> 00:05:05,239
Speaker 7: don't let us win, meaning that you know, right now

89
00:05:05,279 --> 00:05:07,479
Speaker 7: you have some people that's calling us out and you know,

90
00:05:07,520 --> 00:05:10,839
Speaker 7: saying we're down to now. But you know, our whole

91
00:05:10,880 --> 00:05:12,719
Speaker 7: mindset is, don't let us win, because if we win this,

92
00:05:13,040 --> 00:05:14,800
Speaker 7: we're gonna win the next we go win, the next,

93
00:05:14,839 --> 00:05:17,240
Speaker 7: we go win, the next keep winning.

94
00:05:17,480 --> 00:05:20,080
Speaker 2: Oh not don't let us win, as though, oh please,

95
00:05:20,080 --> 00:05:23,200
Speaker 2: don't let us win, but as a warning to the world, y'all,

96
00:05:23,240 --> 00:05:25,720
Speaker 2: don't let us wine. That kind of don't let us win.

97
00:05:25,880 --> 00:05:26,279
Speaker 4: Definitely.

98
00:05:26,320 --> 00:05:28,880
Speaker 2: Okay, now I'm with you to think I was. I'm

99
00:05:28,920 --> 00:05:30,800
Speaker 2: a little older, but I was a little confused there

100
00:05:30,800 --> 00:05:32,760
Speaker 2: for just a minute. But now now I've got it.

101
00:05:32,839 --> 00:05:36,000
Speaker 2: I want to talk about you had to do some

102
00:05:36,080 --> 00:05:41,880
Speaker 2: compartmentalizing just this year, missed six games with the knee injury.

103
00:05:41,920 --> 00:05:43,560
Speaker 2: But we'll we'll get to that in a minute. I

104
00:05:43,600 --> 00:05:48,280
Speaker 2: want to talk about an aspect of yesterday's game that

105
00:05:48,360 --> 00:05:52,040
Speaker 2: I think kind of spells out one of the reasons

106
00:05:52,080 --> 00:05:54,960
Speaker 2: for the success that you're having as a team and defensively.

107
00:05:55,800 --> 00:06:00,080
Speaker 2: An old football adage is turnovers come in bunches, and

108
00:06:00,200 --> 00:06:02,520
Speaker 2: it seems to be true. I'm not sure why, but

109
00:06:02,600 --> 00:06:04,840
Speaker 2: it does. Do you have an opinion about why that is?

110
00:06:06,839 --> 00:06:07,720
Speaker 4: It's just effort.

111
00:06:09,279 --> 00:06:11,880
Speaker 2: Well, but if you say effort, then some people say, well,

112
00:06:11,920 --> 00:06:13,600
Speaker 2: why aren't you trying all the time?

113
00:06:14,400 --> 00:06:18,720
Speaker 4: That's fair. That's fair. It is. I mean, it's not

114
00:06:18,760 --> 00:06:19,240
Speaker 4: just effort.

115
00:06:19,360 --> 00:06:22,279
Speaker 7: Is also you know, just guys flying around, guys flying

116
00:06:22,360 --> 00:06:26,120
Speaker 7: to the ball being intentional about it.

117
00:06:26,200 --> 00:06:29,360
Speaker 2: Obviously effort, Yeah, but maybe the intentionality is the part.

118
00:06:29,400 --> 00:06:34,240
Speaker 2: So here, here's why I'm bringing it up. Lots of offensive, big,

119
00:06:34,279 --> 00:06:38,240
Speaker 2: gaudy statistics yesterday, and as a defense, you had six

120
00:06:38,360 --> 00:06:41,800
Speaker 2: sacks and all that's great. I thought the two biggest

121
00:06:41,880 --> 00:06:44,640
Speaker 2: plays I thought you made the first huge play of

122
00:06:44,640 --> 00:06:47,880
Speaker 2: the game, you and Marist, because in the first quarter

123
00:06:48,279 --> 00:06:50,680
Speaker 2: things were not going well. The offense was they got

124
00:06:50,680 --> 00:06:52,880
Speaker 2: a penalty, they got a sack, they were going backwards

125
00:06:53,360 --> 00:06:55,400
Speaker 2: and the Panthers were driving the length of that and

126
00:06:55,480 --> 00:06:59,320
Speaker 2: you can just kind of feel this is not how

127
00:06:59,360 --> 00:07:01,760
Speaker 2: we want to get day going. And they have the

128
00:07:01,800 --> 00:07:05,200
Speaker 2: ball seven and a half minutes and drove I don't know,

129
00:07:05,320 --> 00:07:09,080
Speaker 2: seventy yards or something, but Maris knocks the ball loose

130
00:07:09,200 --> 00:07:12,840
Speaker 2: and marshawn neland recovers the fumble. I thought that was

131
00:07:12,880 --> 00:07:18,040
Speaker 2: the first big play that completely turned how the game

132
00:07:18,200 --> 00:07:21,120
Speaker 2: was going around at that point, and it put you

133
00:07:21,200 --> 00:07:23,560
Speaker 2: guys back in a position to play the way you

134
00:07:23,600 --> 00:07:25,520
Speaker 2: wanted to play. So a do you agree with that

135
00:07:26,080 --> 00:07:28,800
Speaker 2: and b how does that kind of thing happen? That

136
00:07:28,920 --> 00:07:31,000
Speaker 2: kind of a play That's not just luck, is it.

137
00:07:31,920 --> 00:07:35,440
Speaker 7: I agree with that that that was definitely a good

138
00:07:35,440 --> 00:07:38,040
Speaker 7: player to be able to turn it around. Obviously they're

139
00:07:38,360 --> 00:07:41,720
Speaker 7: drive not letting them score even though they drove all

140
00:07:41,720 --> 00:07:42,640
Speaker 7: the way down the field.

141
00:07:43,360 --> 00:07:44,080
Speaker 4: Definitely huge.

142
00:07:45,600 --> 00:07:47,480
Speaker 7: Back to what I said about that play, I think

143
00:07:47,480 --> 00:07:50,160
Speaker 7: it's effort because the play, I'm on the left side,

144
00:07:50,440 --> 00:07:52,520
Speaker 7: the play went all the way to the right side,

145
00:07:52,560 --> 00:07:54,960
Speaker 7: and you know, I got double team I'm pretty sure

146
00:07:54,960 --> 00:07:57,760
Speaker 7: on that play, and so I make a cutback. I'm like, Okay,

147
00:07:57,840 --> 00:07:59,880
Speaker 7: I know the ball's way over there, but I'm just

148
00:08:00,080 --> 00:08:02,240
Speaker 7: run to the ball just because so you know, as

149
00:08:02,240 --> 00:08:05,840
Speaker 7: I'm running, Mayor's obviously being intentional, shoots for the ball

150
00:08:05,880 --> 00:08:07,960
Speaker 7: and comes out.

151
00:08:06,560 --> 00:08:11,240
Speaker 2: And there and there you were because you were hustling

152
00:08:11,800 --> 00:08:16,040
Speaker 2: right and the same thing then kind of happened the

153
00:08:16,080 --> 00:08:20,480
Speaker 2: first play the third quarter when Osah got the strip

154
00:08:20,520 --> 00:08:23,280
Speaker 2: sack and you guys get the ball back, and that

155
00:08:23,280 --> 00:08:27,400
Speaker 2: that kind of turned things back. So when you are

156
00:08:27,480 --> 00:08:30,360
Speaker 2: getting when you're when you're getting those takeaways that you

157
00:08:30,440 --> 00:08:33,760
Speaker 2: had not been getting for several weeks, do you find

158
00:08:33,800 --> 00:08:37,480
Speaker 2: that guys and you yourself. Is it easier to get

159
00:08:37,480 --> 00:08:42,040
Speaker 2: into a mindset of that hustling where you're running the

160
00:08:42,080 --> 00:08:44,320
Speaker 2: width through the field to get near the ball because

161
00:08:44,440 --> 00:08:46,920
Speaker 2: now you believe something good will happen.

162
00:08:47,679 --> 00:08:50,520
Speaker 7: I think, uh, definitely. Seeing other guys do it and

163
00:08:50,600 --> 00:08:52,319
Speaker 7: being a part of the team, like you're seeing other

164
00:08:52,320 --> 00:08:56,760
Speaker 7: guys flying around making plays, it makes you more compelled

165
00:08:56,800 --> 00:08:59,719
Speaker 7: to try a little bit harder to you know, make

166
00:08:59,720 --> 00:09:00,880
Speaker 7: plays and fly rounds.

167
00:09:00,920 --> 00:09:01,400
Speaker 4: Just as much.

168
00:09:01,840 --> 00:09:05,960
Speaker 5: Takeaways weren't something that this team had had success in

169
00:09:06,040 --> 00:09:08,520
Speaker 5: earlier in the parts of the season, but as the

170
00:09:08,559 --> 00:09:10,439
Speaker 5: season went on, you're starting to see a lot more

171
00:09:10,440 --> 00:09:14,160
Speaker 5: success with that. What was the ultimate switch that said

172
00:09:14,160 --> 00:09:15,559
Speaker 5: all right, we've got to go out there and get

173
00:09:15,600 --> 00:09:18,280
Speaker 5: take and create takeaways? What was that ultimate thing?

174
00:09:18,960 --> 00:09:22,040
Speaker 7: I think it's always been something that we've talked about,

175
00:09:22,200 --> 00:09:25,720
Speaker 7: is we have to have those takeaways. Because we did

176
00:09:25,760 --> 00:09:30,680
Speaker 7: a statistic, or our head coach did. He said every

177
00:09:30,720 --> 00:09:32,920
Speaker 7: takeaway we get on average, we get I think he

178
00:09:32,960 --> 00:09:35,960
Speaker 7: said like five or six points. So you know, just

179
00:09:36,000 --> 00:09:40,640
Speaker 7: from that, you know, every time we go out there

180
00:09:40,760 --> 00:09:42,120
Speaker 7: is like, okay, let's try to get a takew let's

181
00:09:42,120 --> 00:09:43,880
Speaker 7: get a takeaway. But I think something that's not is

182
00:09:43,920 --> 00:09:49,440
Speaker 7: just like everybody just became like I want to say,

183
00:09:49,480 --> 00:09:52,280
Speaker 7: they just didn't care. They just went out there to

184
00:09:52,440 --> 00:09:54,960
Speaker 7: you know ball. Basically, they're not like, oh, I'm worried

185
00:09:54,960 --> 00:09:56,960
Speaker 7: about making a mistake. I'm worried about this and that, like,

186
00:09:57,040 --> 00:09:58,559
Speaker 7: you know the play, you know what you're supposed to do,

187
00:09:58,640 --> 00:09:59,640
Speaker 7: you know what they're going to run.

188
00:10:00,440 --> 00:10:01,280
Speaker 4: You know, let's stop it.

189
00:10:01,320 --> 00:10:02,719
Speaker 5: So you feel like people were kind of in their

190
00:10:02,720 --> 00:10:04,880
Speaker 5: heads a little bit of trying to force the play

191
00:10:04,960 --> 00:10:07,000
Speaker 5: to come to them rather than just going out there

192
00:10:07,000 --> 00:10:08,800
Speaker 5: and just said, all right, screwers, just go out there

193
00:10:08,800 --> 00:10:09,120
Speaker 5: and play.

194
00:10:09,320 --> 00:10:11,400
Speaker 4: Could be.

195
00:10:12,440 --> 00:10:15,040
Speaker 2: Momentum is such an interesting thing because that's really what

196
00:10:15,080 --> 00:10:20,360
Speaker 2: we're talking about with especially the fumble you recovered, or

197
00:10:20,400 --> 00:10:22,000
Speaker 2: it can come at any time of a game. But

198
00:10:22,880 --> 00:10:26,480
Speaker 2: when a team is doing something well and the defense

199
00:10:26,520 --> 00:10:30,920
Speaker 2: takes the ball away and that triggers that team's offense,

200
00:10:31,360 --> 00:10:35,839
Speaker 2: you can you can almost feel the energy reverse and

201
00:10:35,880 --> 00:10:37,960
Speaker 2: it happens all the week. Did you have an explanation

202
00:10:38,040 --> 00:10:42,800
Speaker 2: for that? I mean, do you feel the same thing.

203
00:10:42,920 --> 00:10:45,960
Speaker 2: You feel the energy reverse when when when like you,

204
00:10:46,000 --> 00:10:48,640
Speaker 2: guys got to take away and stop them, and now

205
00:10:48,679 --> 00:10:50,280
Speaker 2: the offense goes out and does something.

206
00:10:50,640 --> 00:10:55,079
Speaker 7: Yeah, I mean, obviously you used to make a play

207
00:10:55,160 --> 00:10:57,520
Speaker 7: or something. You get a turnover in the offense capitalizes

208
00:10:57,559 --> 00:10:59,480
Speaker 7: on that. It makes you just be like, okay, now

209
00:10:59,520 --> 00:11:02,520
Speaker 7: we're finna really light them up. So you know, you

210
00:11:02,600 --> 00:11:04,240
Speaker 7: go out there and you know, do what you gotta do.

211
00:11:06,280 --> 00:11:09,080
Speaker 2: So you mentioned compartmentalizing. Before we have to take our

212
00:11:09,120 --> 00:11:11,360
Speaker 2: first break, I want to talk a little bit about that.

213
00:11:11,440 --> 00:11:14,360
Speaker 2: You had a really good camp, caught a lot of attention,

214
00:11:15,559 --> 00:11:19,240
Speaker 2: worked your way into wasn't just being a second round

215
00:11:19,320 --> 00:11:23,959
Speaker 2: draft choice, which still congratulations for appreciate it. But you

216
00:11:24,559 --> 00:11:28,240
Speaker 2: earned the playing time that you were getting, and you

217
00:11:28,320 --> 00:11:31,280
Speaker 2: were getting tangibly better. You could see it. And then

218
00:11:31,320 --> 00:11:34,080
Speaker 2: you hurt your knee. It seemed like every defensive end

219
00:11:34,160 --> 00:11:38,240
Speaker 2: had to hurt his knee, and so you were out

220
00:11:38,320 --> 00:11:41,280
Speaker 2: six games. I had to look that up today to

221
00:11:41,320 --> 00:11:45,080
Speaker 2: remind myself. How so you must have had to compartmentalize

222
00:11:45,440 --> 00:11:50,560
Speaker 2: like crazy to put all of that in a place

223
00:11:50,640 --> 00:11:52,800
Speaker 2: where you could deal with it and then be in

224
00:11:52,840 --> 00:11:54,760
Speaker 2: a good place to come back. How'd you do that?

225
00:11:56,320 --> 00:12:00,160
Speaker 7: Obviously, my support system, the support SYSM with the Cowboys,

226
00:12:00,320 --> 00:12:05,120
Speaker 7: my girlfriend obviously, you know, just helping me out, keep

227
00:12:05,240 --> 00:12:07,920
Speaker 7: my keep me level headed, letting me know. You know,

228
00:12:07,960 --> 00:12:10,320
Speaker 7: obviously it's okay. Obviously it's not the first year I

229
00:12:10,320 --> 00:12:12,600
Speaker 7: wanted to have. What was holding I could, you know,

230
00:12:12,679 --> 00:12:16,240
Speaker 7: stay healthy as everybody does, but you know, football happens,

231
00:12:16,520 --> 00:12:20,240
Speaker 7: so you just gotta fight on, just come back stronger.

232
00:12:20,559 --> 00:12:23,440
Speaker 2: Was it even more frustrating because Micah was hurt and

233
00:12:24,320 --> 00:12:27,760
Speaker 2: DeMarcus was hurt and you know, I mean there were

234
00:12:27,800 --> 00:12:30,200
Speaker 2: four of you that went out, Sam, Yeah, and Sam

235
00:12:30,400 --> 00:12:31,600
Speaker 2: Sam was the first one.

236
00:12:31,720 --> 00:12:32,000
Speaker 4: Yeah.

237
00:12:32,880 --> 00:12:36,400
Speaker 7: I mean was that did that make definitely? Just because

238
00:12:36,400 --> 00:12:38,400
Speaker 7: you know everybody talks about it. You know, as football,

239
00:12:38,440 --> 00:12:41,200
Speaker 7: you have your opportunities. People go down, people you know,

240
00:12:41,600 --> 00:12:44,080
Speaker 7: come up, and you have those opportunities. I felt like

241
00:12:44,520 --> 00:12:46,559
Speaker 7: I didn't get a full chance to really capitalize on

242
00:12:46,600 --> 00:12:49,600
Speaker 7: the opportunity because obviously I got hurt that next game

243
00:12:50,240 --> 00:12:52,120
Speaker 7: and the first was it four or five players, So

244
00:12:52,160 --> 00:12:53,520
Speaker 7: it was like I.

245
00:12:53,480 --> 00:12:55,760
Speaker 4: Started to have a good game and already.

246
00:12:55,559 --> 00:12:57,640
Speaker 7: And then it happened. So I was, you know, bummed

247
00:12:57,679 --> 00:13:01,000
Speaker 7: out about that. But you know, I feel like leading

248
00:13:01,080 --> 00:13:03,360
Speaker 7: up to it, I put a decent amount out there.

249
00:13:03,360 --> 00:13:07,679
Speaker 7: Obviously I'm improving, doing better, so you know, it's not

250
00:13:07,720 --> 00:13:08,080
Speaker 7: too bad.

251
00:13:08,240 --> 00:13:13,280
Speaker 2: You feel like you're kind of back to that spot now, yeah, yeah, yeah, okay, good,

Speaker 2: end Marshawn neland who had a big part of the

278
00:17:28,359 --> 00:17:32,840
Speaker 2: Cowboys win in Carolina yesterday. I meant to ask you

279
00:17:32,880 --> 00:17:36,399
Speaker 2: this before you said that one of the themes was

280
00:17:36,480 --> 00:17:41,680
Speaker 2: don't let us win. How much, if at all, did anyone,

281
00:17:41,880 --> 00:17:44,600
Speaker 2: whether it was just another player or a coach or whoever,

282
00:17:44,600 --> 00:17:48,800
Speaker 2: it might have been mentioned the fact that the Panthers

283
00:17:48,840 --> 00:17:51,440
Speaker 2: were favored for the first time in like two years

284
00:17:52,359 --> 00:17:53,280
Speaker 2: going into that game.

285
00:17:53,560 --> 00:17:56,720
Speaker 7: Yeah, they definitely told us about that. They definitely told

286
00:17:56,800 --> 00:18:00,600
Speaker 7: us about that. Said they were it wasn't like two favorite.

287
00:18:00,080 --> 00:18:01,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, two and a half or three whatever.

288
00:18:01,880 --> 00:18:04,000
Speaker 4: Yeah, they brought it up.

289
00:18:04,040 --> 00:18:06,160
Speaker 5: They brought it up, so they added a little extra

290
00:18:06,240 --> 00:18:07,680
Speaker 5: juice to the game.

291
00:18:07,960 --> 00:18:10,560
Speaker 2: Yeah when when did you know that? Was it Saturday night?

292
00:18:12,200 --> 00:18:15,720
Speaker 4: Pretty sure? Yeah? Saturday or Friday night?

293
00:18:16,119 --> 00:18:18,320
Speaker 2: And so what what difference does that make?

294
00:18:19,840 --> 00:18:20,439
Speaker 4: To a player.

295
00:18:21,160 --> 00:18:23,280
Speaker 7: For me personally, I don't really make too big of

296
00:18:23,320 --> 00:18:26,239
Speaker 7: a difference obviously, you know from I have hope at

297
00:18:26,240 --> 00:18:27,840
Speaker 7: the beginning. So that was a two star coming out

298
00:18:27,880 --> 00:18:30,320
Speaker 7: of high school. So you know, I'd look at all

299
00:18:30,400 --> 00:18:31,800
Speaker 7: that like, you know, it is what it is, and

300
00:18:31,840 --> 00:18:33,720
Speaker 7: people go and see stuff how they see stuff. But

301
00:18:33,960 --> 00:18:35,480
Speaker 7: you know, you got to go out there and prove

302
00:18:35,520 --> 00:18:36,680
Speaker 7: it to me between the white lives.

303
00:18:36,720 --> 00:18:38,960
Speaker 2: So but it bothers some guys.

304
00:18:39,040 --> 00:18:39,960
Speaker 4: Huh oh, yeah, definitely.

305
00:18:40,920 --> 00:18:42,840
Speaker 2: We could probably guess and make a list of which

306
00:18:42,840 --> 00:18:45,359
Speaker 2: ones were. Nicole thinks she knows. Would you like to

307
00:18:45,359 --> 00:18:47,560
Speaker 2: listen to one? Okay, thank you very much. Away from

308
00:18:47,600 --> 00:18:51,919
Speaker 2: that one, but Marshawn has opened the door for the

309
00:18:52,280 --> 00:18:54,600
Speaker 2: let's get to know Marshaw and Neeland Park, which is

310
00:18:54,640 --> 00:18:57,960
Speaker 2: really goods why we're here. Uh And so I mentioned

311
00:18:57,960 --> 00:19:00,800
Speaker 2: that you were a second round pick, which is good.

312
00:19:00,840 --> 00:19:02,640
Speaker 2: I don't care where you went to school, that's good.

313
00:19:02,880 --> 00:19:03,240
Speaker 4: Yeah.

314
00:19:03,280 --> 00:19:06,800
Speaker 2: And as you just said, from humble beginnings, a two star?

315
00:19:07,080 --> 00:19:09,400
Speaker 2: Is that what you said? In the state of Michigan. Yeah,

316
00:19:09,440 --> 00:19:10,320
Speaker 2: and what does that mean?

317
00:19:10,880 --> 00:19:15,920
Speaker 4: That means? Uh, I was very underrecruited lower Clad.

318
00:19:15,960 --> 00:19:16,800
Speaker 2: Was it a small town?

319
00:19:17,400 --> 00:19:20,639
Speaker 4: It was grand Rapids, a small town. It's not, it's not.

320
00:19:20,880 --> 00:19:22,719
Speaker 7: I went to Guywin, which is a small school, more

321
00:19:22,720 --> 00:19:25,760
Speaker 7: of a basketball school, but you know they got some

322
00:19:25,920 --> 00:19:27,600
Speaker 7: good football players coming out of there now.

323
00:19:27,680 --> 00:19:31,960
Speaker 4: So yeah. Then I went to Western Michigan. From there, yea, at.

324
00:19:31,800 --> 00:19:34,160
Speaker 5: What point did you know that you would make the NFL?

325
00:19:35,240 --> 00:19:38,080
Speaker 5: And at what point did you set the goal for

326
00:19:38,160 --> 00:19:39,360
Speaker 5: you to make the NFL?

327
00:19:39,760 --> 00:19:42,560
Speaker 7: So the point I set the goal, well, I was

328
00:19:44,200 --> 00:19:48,360
Speaker 7: probably like seven or eight, maybe even before then. That's

329
00:19:48,400 --> 00:19:49,600
Speaker 7: when I said the goal. I used to tell my

330
00:19:49,600 --> 00:19:51,359
Speaker 7: moms all the time, you know, I'm going to the

331
00:19:51,440 --> 00:19:53,879
Speaker 7: NFL so and she'd be like, you gotta get a

332
00:19:53,880 --> 00:19:56,360
Speaker 7: real job, like going to the NFL.

333
00:19:57,760 --> 00:20:01,040
Speaker 2: So yeah, which didn't mean she did support your dreams.

334
00:20:01,119 --> 00:20:06,680
Speaker 7: Yeah, yeah, no doubt When it seemed to become like realistic,

335
00:20:06,720 --> 00:20:09,960
Speaker 7: I think it was uh, you know high school where

336
00:20:10,000 --> 00:20:12,120
Speaker 7: I was like, okay, I was balling out there, and

337
00:20:12,440 --> 00:20:15,119
Speaker 7: you know I never let the under recruitment you know,

338
00:20:15,240 --> 00:20:18,240
Speaker 7: get to me because going to my senior year, I

339
00:20:18,280 --> 00:20:23,760
Speaker 7: really have an offer. I had looks from Davenport, but yeah.

340
00:20:24,000 --> 00:20:25,880
Speaker 4: So but what I told my coach.

341
00:20:25,720 --> 00:20:27,639
Speaker 7: All the time was, you know, no matter where I go,

342
00:20:28,000 --> 00:20:29,960
Speaker 7: the NFL is gonna find me, and I'm definitely going.

343
00:20:30,080 --> 00:20:32,000
Speaker 2: So what do you think gave you the notion at

344
00:20:32,000 --> 00:20:34,920
Speaker 2: the age of seven? Was it just being a football

345
00:20:34,960 --> 00:20:36,800
Speaker 2: fan and watching the NFL all the time?

346
00:20:37,560 --> 00:20:41,760
Speaker 7: Yeah, just seeing the NFL, seeing college boy, just watching

347
00:20:41,760 --> 00:20:45,159
Speaker 7: football in general. It was always something I love to

348
00:20:45,400 --> 00:20:48,560
Speaker 7: participate in, but I used to always hate because everybody

349
00:20:48,600 --> 00:20:51,680
Speaker 7: else played football. I'm at basketball. Everybody else played basketball,

350
00:20:51,680 --> 00:20:53,720
Speaker 7: So football was never really something you could just go

351
00:20:53,760 --> 00:20:56,480
Speaker 7: outside and do. So it was like you never really

352
00:20:56,520 --> 00:20:58,600
Speaker 7: get time to play for it other than the season

353
00:20:59,080 --> 00:21:00,960
Speaker 7: and you know, try to make the most of it.

354
00:21:01,040 --> 00:21:03,399
Speaker 5: Then that was defensive end, the only position you played.

355
00:21:03,840 --> 00:21:09,760
Speaker 7: Actually, I played wide receiver in the corner growing up,

356
00:21:10,320 --> 00:21:11,280
Speaker 7: wide receiver in.

357
00:21:11,359 --> 00:21:16,520
Speaker 2: Corner now now just so just so people can kind

358
00:21:16,520 --> 00:21:20,720
Speaker 2: of get a picture. Yeah, so right now, you're six

359
00:21:22,160 --> 00:21:24,400
Speaker 2: four five, six three, okay, sixty four.

360
00:21:24,480 --> 00:21:29,720
Speaker 4: We're going six four and two U seventy five.

361
00:21:29,560 --> 00:21:32,880
Speaker 2: Okay, And I'm guessing you were not six four two

362
00:21:32,920 --> 00:21:36,640
Speaker 2: seventy five when you were playing corner and wide receiver. No,

363
00:21:37,040 --> 00:21:39,440
Speaker 2: So were you a little kind of a scrunting little

364
00:21:39,480 --> 00:21:40,200
Speaker 2: guy in high school?

365
00:21:40,200 --> 00:21:42,760
Speaker 4: Oh? Yeah, were you really? I was? Uh, I was

366
00:21:42,760 --> 00:21:47,920
Speaker 4: probably like six two one seventy six.

367
00:21:47,840 --> 00:21:48,719
Speaker 5: Too in high school.

368
00:21:49,440 --> 00:21:53,040
Speaker 4: Yeah, high school. Maybe I'm just pretty tall. It's pretty talk.

369
00:21:53,119 --> 00:21:55,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm pretty tall. So if you're at a basketball

370
00:21:55,560 --> 00:21:59,719
Speaker 2: school or a basketball area, six two one seventy minute's

371
00:22:00,920 --> 00:22:02,800
Speaker 2: that's basketball size.

372
00:22:02,920 --> 00:22:03,160
Speaker 4: Yeah.

373
00:22:03,240 --> 00:22:05,919
Speaker 7: They wanted me to play basketball, but they be in

374
00:22:05,920 --> 00:22:08,400
Speaker 7: the school. Yeah, but we had a great basketball team.

375
00:22:08,400 --> 00:22:10,000
Speaker 7: So I was like, there's no reason for me to

376
00:22:10,000 --> 00:22:12,119
Speaker 7: play when I love football and you guys are already

377
00:22:12,119 --> 00:22:12,520
Speaker 7: doing good.

378
00:22:12,560 --> 00:22:14,879
Speaker 2: So I was And was it like the school coaches

379
00:22:14,880 --> 00:22:16,879
Speaker 2: who tried to talk you into playing basketball?

380
00:22:16,920 --> 00:22:19,959
Speaker 7: The coaches, the players, and I was like my dogs,

381
00:22:20,000 --> 00:22:22,200
Speaker 7: But I was like football, If y'all joined football, I'll

Speaker 7: dunky so.

398
00:23:02,119 --> 00:23:07,480
Speaker 2: Foul out it's too good for that finesse as well

399
00:23:07,520 --> 00:23:09,119
Speaker 2: as size and agility.

400
00:23:09,320 --> 00:23:12,720
Speaker 4: Yeah yeah, but football.

401
00:23:12,280 --> 00:23:17,760

00:23:18,000 --> 00:23:19,879
Speaker 7: my mom, my dad and my uncle. They were all like,

403
00:23:19,920 --> 00:23:21,960
Speaker 7: you know, real athletic, which those are the people I

404
00:23:22,040 --> 00:23:25,240
Speaker 7: kind of like grew up around. But my dad really

405
00:23:25,280 --> 00:23:29,320
Speaker 7: loved basketball, so like him and my uncle was always

406
00:23:29,359 --> 00:23:30,600
Speaker 7: trying to push me towards basketball.

407
00:23:30,680 --> 00:23:33,560
Speaker 4: But like I said, football it's always where I was at.

408
00:23:34,000 --> 00:23:37,200
Speaker 5: What did you tell them, like to ultimately steal the deal?

409
00:23:37,359 --> 00:23:38,920
Speaker 5: I'm playing football? How'd you pitch it to me?

410
00:23:38,960 --> 00:23:39,440
Speaker 4: It was easy.

411
00:23:39,760 --> 00:23:43,840
Speaker 7: My eighth grade year, I believe I got cut from

412
00:23:43,840 --> 00:23:44,480
Speaker 7: the basketball team.

413
00:23:44,560 --> 00:23:45,560
Speaker 2: Stop it?

414
00:23:47,320 --> 00:23:50,600
Speaker 4: Yeah, why did you get cut? Beat me?

415
00:23:50,680 --> 00:23:52,000
Speaker 2: Because his heart wasn't in it?

416
00:23:52,240 --> 00:23:55,160
Speaker 7: No, I would never miss the practice. I always bought

417
00:23:55,200 --> 00:23:55,800
Speaker 7: out hard.

418
00:23:56,040 --> 00:23:56,480
Speaker 4: It's just.

419
00:23:58,000 --> 00:24:00,119
Speaker 2: I don't know, but you never got cut from a

420
00:24:00,119 --> 00:24:05,240
Speaker 2: football team, did you? Okay? Uh? Now I don't want to. Uh.

421
00:24:05,920 --> 00:24:08,199
Speaker 2: Western Michigan is a heck of a program. As as

422
00:24:08,240 --> 00:24:10,760
Speaker 2: a matter of fact, I did their game in the

423
00:24:10,760 --> 00:24:13,800
Speaker 2: Cotton Bowl against Wisconsin a few years ago. And did

424
00:24:13,840 --> 00:24:16,280
Speaker 2: you go up against Moten at all last night? Do

425
00:24:16,320 --> 00:24:16,760
Speaker 2: you know him?

426
00:24:16,840 --> 00:24:16,959
Speaker 4: Oh?

427
00:24:17,040 --> 00:24:19,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, so that's uh. He was also a second round

428
00:24:19,440 --> 00:24:22,879
Speaker 2: pick and he was a tremendous college player offensive tackle

429
00:24:23,520 --> 00:24:27,080
Speaker 2: who's who's been with Carolina for his whole career. So

430
00:24:27,160 --> 00:24:30,400
Speaker 2: that's two pretty good players who came from Western Michigan.

431
00:24:30,480 --> 00:24:35,000
Speaker 2: So we're talking about a serious program. But no, not

432
00:24:35,040 --> 00:24:37,320
Speaker 2: a sniff from Michigan or Michigan State or anyone to

433
00:24:37,359 --> 00:24:37,760
Speaker 2: Big ten.

434
00:24:38,760 --> 00:24:42,840
Speaker 7: Michigan State actually looked at my film and was like, nah,

435
00:24:42,960 --> 00:24:44,879
Speaker 7: we want you for tight end and we want you

436
00:24:44,920 --> 00:24:45,600
Speaker 7: to prefer walking.

437
00:24:45,840 --> 00:24:55,160
Speaker 2: So yeah, scholarships and scholarship and Western Oh yeah, yeah,

438
00:24:55,160 --> 00:24:57,639
Speaker 2: scholarships of scholarship. You got a good education in Western.

439
00:24:57,720 --> 00:24:59,080
Speaker 4: But there's also didn't come late though.

440
00:24:59,359 --> 00:25:01,439
Speaker 7: This didn't come until very late because it was actually

441
00:25:01,440 --> 00:25:05,440
Speaker 7: somebody that they had because I was, you know, undersized,

442
00:25:05,480 --> 00:25:07,440
Speaker 7: so they kind of went with somebody else at first,

443
00:25:07,720 --> 00:25:09,960
Speaker 7: but then he decided to go and to visit somewhere

444
00:25:10,000 --> 00:25:12,199
Speaker 7: else and they were like, since you committed to us,

445
00:25:12,240 --> 00:25:14,040
Speaker 7: if you're going to visit, you know, we got to

446
00:25:14,040 --> 00:25:16,520
Speaker 7: pull it. So they pulled it and I was the

447
00:25:16,560 --> 00:25:17,359
Speaker 7: next man on the list.

448
00:25:17,400 --> 00:25:20,119
Speaker 5: So wait, so what that was your only offer?

449
00:25:20,560 --> 00:25:23,320
Speaker 7: It was Western, Michigan, West Illinois and then a bunch

450
00:25:23,320 --> 00:25:24,320
Speaker 7: of D two schools.

451
00:25:24,480 --> 00:25:26,320
Speaker 5: Did that add an extra chip on your shoulder?

452
00:25:26,840 --> 00:25:28,760
Speaker 7: I mean, you know it made me want to be like,

453
00:25:28,800 --> 00:25:31,000
Speaker 7: you know, I'm a ball out, but I always knew

454
00:25:31,000 --> 00:25:32,200
Speaker 7: I was going to ball out regardless.

455
00:25:32,280 --> 00:25:36,399
Speaker 2: So yeah, and you mentioned tight end and didn't you

456
00:25:36,400 --> 00:25:38,359
Speaker 2: play a little tight end at Western when you first

457
00:25:38,400 --> 00:25:39,080
Speaker 2: went there?

458
00:25:39,680 --> 00:25:39,920
Speaker 4: Nah?

459
00:25:40,080 --> 00:25:41,840
Speaker 2: Were you always in a defensive lineman?

460
00:25:42,000 --> 00:25:42,760
Speaker 4: Yeah? When I went there?

461
00:25:42,840 --> 00:25:44,240
Speaker 2: When the last time you played tight end?

462
00:25:44,359 --> 00:25:47,680
Speaker 7: High school? Okay, high school? I played, uh, tight end

Speaker 7: d N and wide receiver.

464
00:25:49,320 --> 00:25:52,560
Speaker 2: Still, so I mean I could see wide receiver. Still,

465
00:25:52,600 --> 00:25:54,000
Speaker 2: I would not want to have to cover you.

466
00:25:56,320 --> 00:25:57,320
Speaker 4: I didn't drop stuff.

467
00:25:57,400 --> 00:26:00,800
Speaker 2: I didn't drop So so, I mean you've played basketball.

468
00:26:00,960 --> 00:26:03,080
Speaker 2: I'm just got to have pretty good hands. We don't know, yeah,

469
00:26:03,119 --> 00:26:05,200
Speaker 2: you know, we have no way to judge, but you

470
00:26:05,280 --> 00:26:06,760
Speaker 2: got to have pretty good hands.

471
00:26:06,520 --> 00:26:07,720
Speaker 4: Of course. And so.

472
00:26:10,000 --> 00:26:11,960
Speaker 2: Did you want to move to defense or was that

473
00:26:12,040 --> 00:26:12,560
Speaker 2: their idea?

474
00:26:12,920 --> 00:26:13,000
Speaker 10: Me?

475
00:26:13,600 --> 00:26:14,360
Speaker 4: I love defense?

476
00:26:14,680 --> 00:26:15,440
Speaker 2: Say why?

477
00:26:15,840 --> 00:26:16,720
Speaker 4: I love to hit people?

478
00:26:18,000 --> 00:26:19,960
Speaker 7: You get to hit every play at defensive line, and

479
00:26:20,200 --> 00:26:22,040
Speaker 7: you know it is what it is. Now, I did

480
00:26:22,080 --> 00:26:24,359
Speaker 7: want to play corner at first, and I was locked

481
00:26:24,359 --> 00:26:27,119
Speaker 7: down corner, but like that was middle school, so you know,

482
00:26:27,280 --> 00:26:30,000
Speaker 7: it is what it is. But that high school, you know,

483
00:26:30,040 --> 00:26:32,920
Speaker 7: they moved me down there, and because I was our

484
00:26:33,160 --> 00:26:35,439
Speaker 7: bigger guy on the team, one of our bigger guys,

485
00:26:36,040 --> 00:26:38,320
Speaker 7: even though I was at that point I probably like

486
00:26:38,359 --> 00:26:41,960
Speaker 7: won fifty one sixty, So they moved me there and

487
00:26:42,160 --> 00:26:44,480
Speaker 7: I was playing d N. I loved it. I was

488
00:26:44,520 --> 00:26:47,879
Speaker 7: a speed rush d N. So I had a lot

489
00:26:47,920 --> 00:26:50,840
Speaker 7: of sacks. I think I think I got the record

490
00:26:50,960 --> 00:26:54,439
Speaker 7: for the school. Maybe I don't know. My high school

491
00:26:54,920 --> 00:26:55,919
Speaker 7: it was high school.

492
00:26:58,280 --> 00:27:00,560
Speaker 5: Records and record. So you that you like to hit

493
00:27:00,640 --> 00:27:03,439
Speaker 5: people obviously? Are you the only child? Do you have brothers?

494
00:27:04,119 --> 00:27:05,639
Speaker 4: Two older brothers, two older brothers?

495
00:27:05,760 --> 00:27:08,320
Speaker 5: Was that a reason for your competitive physicality spirit?

496
00:27:08,880 --> 00:27:11,520
Speaker 4: It could be because they usually kind of bleeding because

497
00:27:11,560 --> 00:27:12,520
Speaker 4: I was I was small.

498
00:27:13,080 --> 00:27:14,000
Speaker 2: How much older are they?

499
00:27:15,400 --> 00:27:21,240
Speaker 7: My oldest brother, I believe he is six years older,

500
00:27:21,400 --> 00:27:24,040
Speaker 7: six seven. The one before that is four to five.

501
00:27:24,720 --> 00:27:28,480
Speaker 2: So there they were mating up on you every chance

502
00:27:28,520 --> 00:27:31,239
Speaker 2: they got, yeah, yeah, and then we got to take

503
00:27:31,280 --> 00:27:34,320
Speaker 2: our next break. How old were you when you first

504
00:27:34,440 --> 00:27:41,400
Speaker 2: remember thinking I like hitting people and I can't get

505
00:27:41,400 --> 00:27:45,320
Speaker 2: in trouble for it. I won't get arrested. This is

506
00:27:45,320 --> 00:27:47,800
Speaker 2: what I'm supposed to do. I like this, How old

507
00:27:47,880 --> 00:27:48,440
Speaker 2: were you do when.

508
00:27:48,359 --> 00:27:49,119
Speaker 4: You're remember feeling?

509
00:27:49,160 --> 00:27:54,160
Speaker 7: That had to have been when I was about sixteen, Yeah, sixteen,

510
00:27:54,320 --> 00:27:57,480
Speaker 7: my junior year and sophomore junior.

511
00:27:57,480 --> 00:27:59,240
Speaker 2: Did he come from a game? From a hit in

512
00:27:59,280 --> 00:28:00,199
Speaker 2: a game or a this?

513
00:28:00,520 --> 00:28:02,800
Speaker 4: Yeah? Yeah, that was which one.

514
00:28:03,040 --> 00:28:06,080
Speaker 7: I was, uh, you know, obviously defensive end, and I

515
00:28:06,160 --> 00:28:07,800
Speaker 7: just remember it was me and another guy on the

516
00:28:07,800 --> 00:28:11,720
Speaker 7: team that was high school. But basically I closed the

517
00:28:11,760 --> 00:28:14,440
Speaker 7: gap down, I get off the block, I hit dune

518
00:28:14,480 --> 00:28:16,760
Speaker 7: and I pick him up, and then other dude came

519
00:28:16,800 --> 00:28:18,760
Speaker 7: by and like overtop and like hit him and.

520
00:28:18,800 --> 00:28:22,120
Speaker 4: He it was bad, but I was like, whoa this is?

521
00:28:22,520 --> 00:28:25,879
Speaker 4: This is crazy? Yeah, but you know it was fun.

522
00:28:26,119 --> 00:28:28,159
Speaker 2: All right, And that's how we get drafted in the

523
00:28:28,160 --> 00:28:30,960
Speaker 2: second round eventually. But there's still ways to go from

524

Speaker 2: had way more than I had feet.

562
00:33:21,280 --> 00:33:22,240
Speaker 4: Let's put it that way.

563
00:33:23,280 --> 00:33:28,160
Speaker 2: So Marshawn Nayland, let's go back to not heavily recruited

564
00:33:28,360 --> 00:33:32,360
Speaker 2: and you go to Western Michigan and along the lines

565
00:33:32,360 --> 00:33:36,440
Speaker 2: of the question Nicole asked you earlier, did not being

566
00:33:36,520 --> 00:33:39,320
Speaker 2: heavily recruited did that fuel you at all? Did it

567
00:33:39,320 --> 00:33:41,240
Speaker 2: make you feel like I'm going to show these people

568
00:33:41,240 --> 00:33:43,960
Speaker 2: who didn't really come looking after me.

569
00:33:44,360 --> 00:33:47,320
Speaker 7: Definitely, you know, going into those games when we played

570
00:33:47,360 --> 00:33:51,200
Speaker 7: Michigan State, always loved looking forward to it because I'm like, man,

571
00:33:51,320 --> 00:33:53,440
Speaker 7: I can't wait to go out there and you know,

572
00:33:53,520 --> 00:33:55,120
Speaker 7: you make a play and just be like looked at

573
00:33:55,120 --> 00:33:58,960
Speaker 7: the sideline like, yeah, this is Shawn missed. So you

574
00:33:59,000 --> 00:34:02,160
Speaker 7: know that's always fun, you know. But other than that,

575
00:34:02,200 --> 00:34:03,840
Speaker 7: you know, as always I go out there and you

576
00:34:03,880 --> 00:34:06,360
Speaker 7: know try I give one hundred percent every time I'm

577
00:34:06,360 --> 00:34:06,720
Speaker 7: out there.

578
00:34:06,840 --> 00:34:09,560
Speaker 5: So how much do you look back and appreciate the

579
00:34:09,600 --> 00:34:12,000
Speaker 5: fact that you did have that type of journey, you know,

580
00:34:12,160 --> 00:34:15,280
Speaker 5: coming from a two star being a two star recruit,

581
00:34:15,320 --> 00:34:17,560
Speaker 5: then going to a bigger school Western Michigan, but not

582
00:34:17,600 --> 00:34:21,120
Speaker 5: getting recruited or highly recruited. And you look now and

583
00:34:21,160 --> 00:34:24,080
Speaker 5: you're saying, I play for the Dallas Cowboys literally one

584
00:34:24,080 --> 00:34:26,680
Speaker 5: of the best, the best franchise in the NFL. So

585
00:34:26,680 --> 00:34:28,280
Speaker 5: how much do you appreciate your journey?

586
00:34:28,480 --> 00:34:31,640
Speaker 7: Definitely appreciated a lot, Like obviously I wouldn't be who

587
00:34:31,640 --> 00:34:35,080
Speaker 7: I am today without going through those trials and tribulations,

588
00:34:35,440 --> 00:34:38,799
Speaker 7: you know, just having the people around me that I did,

589
00:34:38,880 --> 00:34:41,440
Speaker 7: the coaching that I did, and you know, I feel

590
00:34:41,440 --> 00:34:44,279
Speaker 7: like I've always been putting a great opportunity to get here,

591
00:34:44,560 --> 00:34:46,600
Speaker 7: no matter like you know, on the outside then looking

592
00:34:46,640 --> 00:34:48,160
Speaker 7: at it like oh he wants to recruit it out

593
00:34:48,160 --> 00:34:50,640
Speaker 7: of this and that it's like being on the inside

594
00:34:50,640 --> 00:34:53,640
Speaker 7: out seeing it is like everything lined up, like, Okay,

595
00:34:53,680 --> 00:34:55,480
Speaker 7: this is how it's supposed to be, This how it happens. This,

596
00:34:55,760 --> 00:34:58,760
Speaker 7: you know, building character is showing you, Okay, this humble beginning,

597
00:34:58,880 --> 00:35:00,560
Speaker 7: this is how you work to get They're not just

598
00:35:00,600 --> 00:35:03,239
Speaker 7: handed to you. So it's like it's a I feel

599
00:35:03,280 --> 00:35:05,719
Speaker 7: like it was pushed on me early to be able

600
00:35:05,760 --> 00:35:08,280
Speaker 7: to know how to be basically a pro in the league,

601
00:35:08,320 --> 00:35:10,080
Speaker 7: and you know how to conduct yourself.

602
00:35:10,160 --> 00:35:12,200
Speaker 5: Did you have any doubt that you would get here?

603
00:35:12,719 --> 00:35:12,799
Speaker 8: No?

604
00:35:13,840 --> 00:35:15,440
Speaker 5: All right, but.

605
00:35:17,000 --> 00:35:20,839
Speaker 2: Being under recruited was not the last time you were

606
00:35:21,160 --> 00:35:28,520
Speaker 2: somewhat overlooked. Obviously, had a good, really solid career at Western,

607
00:35:29,320 --> 00:35:34,200
Speaker 2: and then you got invited to the Senior Bowl. And

608
00:35:34,400 --> 00:35:37,000
Speaker 2: I don't know where people had you on the radar

609
00:35:37,719 --> 00:35:39,319
Speaker 2: before the Senior Bowl.

610
00:35:39,360 --> 00:35:43,040
Speaker 7: I can tell you. Tell me they said like fifth,

611
00:35:43,080 --> 00:35:44,040
Speaker 7: sixth round something like that.

612
00:35:45,680 --> 00:35:48,280
Speaker 2: And did you have an agent who got that information

613
00:35:48,400 --> 00:35:52,040
Speaker 2: for you or did scouts tell you that agent fifth

614
00:35:52,160 --> 00:35:54,360
Speaker 2: or sixth round? So you get invited to the Senior

615
00:35:54,360 --> 00:35:57,880
Speaker 2: Bowl in Mobile and this really comes up now because

616
00:35:57,960 --> 00:36:01,640
Speaker 2: right now is when invitations are being accepted by players

617
00:36:01,760 --> 00:36:03,439
Speaker 2: to go to the Senior Bowls. So we read about

618
00:36:03,440 --> 00:36:07,960
Speaker 2: it every day. Yeah, and you're being told fifth or

619
00:36:08,000 --> 00:36:10,279
Speaker 2: sixth round, and you're thinking, what.

620
00:36:11,520 --> 00:36:12,719
Speaker 4: That's so wrong?

621
00:36:14,719 --> 00:36:17,439
Speaker 7: So I'm thinking the whole time, I'm like, yeah, there's

622
00:36:17,480 --> 00:36:21,360
Speaker 7: no way, Like, I mean, if that happens, cool, you

623
00:36:21,360 --> 00:36:23,840
Speaker 7: know what I mean, we maybe get fourth. Cool, Like

624
00:36:23,880 --> 00:36:25,560
Speaker 7: you know, I'm wherever I go, I'm a ball out.

625
00:36:25,560 --> 00:36:27,600
Speaker 7: So it don't matter. But then in the back of

626
00:36:27,600 --> 00:36:30,480
Speaker 7: my head, I'm like, yeah, they messed up inviting me

627
00:36:30,480 --> 00:36:32,440
Speaker 7: here because I put the ball out here.

628
00:36:32,520 --> 00:36:36,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, don't let us war, don't invite me. Don't invite me.

629
00:36:36,760 --> 00:36:41,800
Speaker 2: But they did. Yeah, and something really big positive happened

630
00:36:41,800 --> 00:36:45,520
Speaker 2: for you over the course of that week last year

631
00:36:45,520 --> 00:36:47,880
Speaker 2: in Mobile. Earlier this year, I guess would have been

632
00:36:47,920 --> 00:36:50,040
Speaker 2: in Mobile walk us through that week.

633
00:36:49,840 --> 00:36:52,880
Speaker 7: Where So it starts, you know, leading up to it.

634
00:36:53,040 --> 00:36:54,840
Speaker 7: You know, obviously I'm talking to a lot of different

635
00:36:54,880 --> 00:37:00,759
Speaker 7: people and basically, like I say, they most people are saying,

636
00:37:00,800 --> 00:37:02,839
Speaker 7: you know, on the draft grades it's fifth, sixth round,

637
00:37:03,040 --> 00:37:05,480
Speaker 7: but everybody I talked to her saying, we know that's

638
00:37:05,520 --> 00:37:07,560
Speaker 7: going to improve. We know you're gonna go there and

639
00:37:07,560 --> 00:37:09,560
Speaker 7: do what you do and ball out and the draft

640
00:37:09,560 --> 00:37:12,560
Speaker 7: starts gonna go up, which obviously happened. But you know,

641
00:37:12,760 --> 00:37:15,319
Speaker 7: beginning to go there, you know, you get there, it's

642
00:37:15,440 --> 00:37:17,480
Speaker 7: like you see all these other guys, these you know,

643
00:37:17,920 --> 00:37:21,080
Speaker 7: other people that are you know, pretty pretty good, pretty good.

644
00:37:21,480 --> 00:37:26,799
Speaker 7: So I just remember leading up to that first practice,

645
00:37:27,080 --> 00:37:30,000
Speaker 7: you're kind of like, man, like, oh my goodness, you

646
00:37:30,000 --> 00:37:33,759
Speaker 7: start getting those butterflies, like, man, you know you're driving there,

647
00:37:33,800 --> 00:37:36,640
Speaker 7: You're like, oh, you don't know what to expect. Like,

648
00:37:36,680 --> 00:37:38,560
Speaker 7: you know, obviously you watch the film because I had

649
00:37:38,560 --> 00:37:40,839
Speaker 7: great coaches in college there. They got me the film

650
00:37:40,840 --> 00:37:42,960
Speaker 7: with everybody around, so you need to study them the

651
00:37:42,960 --> 00:37:43,920
Speaker 7: people I'm gonna go against.

652
00:37:43,960 --> 00:37:46,959
Speaker 4: But it's still like, you don't know what's gonna happen.

653
00:37:47,000 --> 00:37:49,160
Speaker 2: And were some of them bigger name college players that

654
00:37:49,239 --> 00:37:51,480
Speaker 2: you knew that you that you knew you would offensive

655
00:37:51,520 --> 00:37:54,040
Speaker 2: lineman you'd be facing and in practice that week.

656
00:37:54,880 --> 00:37:58,400
Speaker 7: Yeah, because we got our we got our list of

657
00:37:58,640 --> 00:38:01,920
Speaker 7: all the guys and yeah, so you've got to study

658
00:38:02,000 --> 00:38:04,400
Speaker 7: them and you know, yeah, And.

659
00:38:05,040 --> 00:38:08,439
Speaker 2: Let me just say this. We read about Senior Bowl

660
00:38:08,560 --> 00:38:10,480
Speaker 2: week and all the scouts come, they watch all the

661
00:38:10,520 --> 00:38:13,120
Speaker 2: practices and then there's a game at the end of

662
00:38:13,160 --> 00:38:16,959
Speaker 2: the week. But is it accurate to say that the

663
00:38:17,040 --> 00:38:20,200
Speaker 2: week of practices are almost more important than the game.

664
00:38:20,480 --> 00:38:23,600
Speaker 4: Definitely, But the game is still you know, fun to

665
00:38:23,600 --> 00:38:24,759
Speaker 4: play in, fun to watch.

666
00:38:24,600 --> 00:38:27,319
Speaker 2: Right, Well, the game is still the game. Yeah, But

667
00:38:27,680 --> 00:38:30,120
Speaker 2: so what is it about the practices that make it

668
00:38:30,160 --> 00:38:32,839
Speaker 2: so important for a player, and especially a player who

669
00:38:32,960 --> 00:38:34,400
Speaker 2: is in a position like you were in.

670
00:38:34,920 --> 00:38:37,799
Speaker 7: I think it's a great opportunity for the coaches to

671
00:38:37,920 --> 00:38:41,520
Speaker 7: really see how you are on a practice, like, you know, practice,

672
00:38:41,680 --> 00:38:45,080
Speaker 7: they're seeing you while you're in there watching film or

673
00:38:45,120 --> 00:38:47,680
Speaker 7: you know, studying your habits and stuff like that. How

674
00:38:47,719 --> 00:38:50,760
Speaker 7: you conduct yourself on a day to day basis Like obviously,

675
00:38:50,840 --> 00:38:53,280
Speaker 7: you know, if you're there, everybody knows you can play football.

676
00:38:53,640 --> 00:38:57,719
Speaker 7: So obviously the practice and stuff is like, you know,

677
00:38:57,760 --> 00:38:59,680
Speaker 7: it is what it is, it's football, But they want

678
00:38:59,680 --> 00:39:01,560
Speaker 7: to see are you taking notes?

679
00:39:01,600 --> 00:39:02,960
Speaker 4: Are you locked in during the meetings?

680
00:39:03,000 --> 00:39:05,000
Speaker 7: Are you just in there just because are you just

681
00:39:05,080 --> 00:39:08,040
Speaker 7: there because you know your agents that you have to

682
00:39:08,120 --> 00:39:10,080
Speaker 7: or do you actually love the game? So you know,

683
00:39:10,239 --> 00:39:12,120
Speaker 7: I think that's where the difference is.

684
00:39:12,160 --> 00:39:14,600
Speaker 2: And when we quiz you, do you know the answers

685
00:39:14,640 --> 00:39:18,120
Speaker 2: that we're looking for? Are you picking things up? NFL?

686
00:39:18,480 --> 00:39:18,640
Speaker 4: Uh?

687
00:39:19,360 --> 00:39:22,160
Speaker 2: Staffs coach that? Who was who coached the team you

688
00:39:22,160 --> 00:39:26,600
Speaker 2: were on? Which team it was the Jets?

689
00:39:26,800 --> 00:39:27,880
Speaker 4: Jets defensive coordinator?

690
00:39:27,880 --> 00:39:33,799
Speaker 2: Okay, Jets defensive coordinator. So now you go and uh,

691
00:39:34,320 --> 00:39:36,839
Speaker 2: how I know they answer to this question, But how

692
00:39:36,880 --> 00:39:37,799
Speaker 2: the way could practice go?

693
00:39:38,880 --> 00:39:42,239
Speaker 7: So the first day it was pretty good. I got

694
00:39:42,280 --> 00:39:47,919
Speaker 7: positive feedback for that and something that he did that

695
00:39:48,560 --> 00:39:51,120
Speaker 7: the I feel like the other team didn't really get

696
00:39:51,160 --> 00:39:53,600
Speaker 7: a good opportunity because of it was he kind of

697
00:39:53,600 --> 00:39:57,840
Speaker 7: toned down on like the hard hitting, the heavy stuff

698
00:39:57,880 --> 00:40:00,560
Speaker 7: and made it more like, Okay, I obviously you know

699
00:40:00,560 --> 00:40:02,080
Speaker 7: they want to see pastor us. They want to see

700
00:40:02,080 --> 00:40:04,120
Speaker 7: like a little bit of runing, but everybody knows your

701
00:40:04,160 --> 00:40:07,239
Speaker 7: physical so he kind of made it where it's what

702
00:40:07,440 --> 00:40:10,520
Speaker 7: most scouts coaches want to see. Whereas I heard because

703
00:40:10,520 --> 00:40:12,960
Speaker 7: I did obviously didn't practice with them, but I heard

704
00:40:13,000 --> 00:40:15,759
Speaker 7: that the other team was more just headbutting each other

705
00:40:15,800 --> 00:40:17,400
Speaker 7: all day and this and that, and I was like,

706
00:40:17,440 --> 00:40:22,799
Speaker 7: oh that sounds that sounds horrible, but just because of

707
00:40:22,960 --> 00:40:24,319
Speaker 7: you know how it is.

708
00:40:24,360 --> 00:40:28,359
Speaker 4: But yeah, so what go ahead? I said.

709
00:40:28,480 --> 00:40:31,120
Speaker 7: What we did, I feel like was specific for me

710
00:40:31,320 --> 00:40:33,400
Speaker 7: to help my draft stock, which, like I said before,

711
00:40:33,800 --> 00:40:36,520
Speaker 7: everything lined up like how it's supposed to do.

712
00:40:36,640 --> 00:40:36,719
Speaker 10: So.

713
00:40:37,320 --> 00:40:40,319
Speaker 2: And what happened tour ed near the end of the week,

714
00:40:40,360 --> 00:40:46,120
Speaker 2: when your teammates evaluated you, didn't they vote you an award?

715
00:40:46,719 --> 00:40:48,360
Speaker 4: Nah? No, no, no, you thinking of Fisk?

716
00:40:49,640 --> 00:40:52,719
Speaker 2: No, I'm thinking of I don't think were you not

717
00:40:53,560 --> 00:40:57,400
Speaker 2: name the MVP of the of the defensive line on

718
00:40:57,440 --> 00:40:59,400
Speaker 2: your team? Was Fisk on your team?

719
00:40:59,560 --> 00:41:01,960
Speaker 4: Nah? But for the game they moved into my team.

720
00:41:02,560 --> 00:41:04,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, but for the week of practice, you don't remember

721
00:41:04,680 --> 00:41:08,920
Speaker 2: that that was That was the information I assimilated that

722
00:41:09,040 --> 00:41:14,719
Speaker 2: you your that your teammates voted you the the m

723
00:41:14,800 --> 00:41:19,240
Speaker 2: v P of practice and that opened a lot of eyes.

724
00:41:20,560 --> 00:41:22,840
Speaker 2: Maybe maybe they did it and nobody bothered to tell you.

725
00:41:23,040 --> 00:41:23,920
Speaker 4: Yeah, maybe.

726
00:41:24,600 --> 00:41:25,920
Speaker 2: And how'd you do in the game? I'm sorry, Nick,

727
00:41:25,960 --> 00:41:27,240
Speaker 2: how'd you do in the game?

728
00:41:27,520 --> 00:41:29,759
Speaker 4: I did pretty good. I got a sack.

729
00:41:30,239 --> 00:41:32,400
Speaker 7: Maybe it was a half, I don't know, but you know,

730
00:41:32,840 --> 00:41:34,560
Speaker 7: I feel like I have real good pass russes, real

731
00:41:34,600 --> 00:41:35,280
Speaker 7: good run stops.

732
00:41:35,280 --> 00:41:36,920
Speaker 4: So did what I was supposed to do.

733
00:41:37,120 --> 00:41:39,279
Speaker 5: Was there a piece of information that you took from

734
00:41:39,320 --> 00:41:43,160
Speaker 5: the Jets defensive coordinator coordinator that you've taken here that's

735
00:41:43,560 --> 00:41:45,399
Speaker 5: kind of helped you throughout the season so far.

736
00:41:45,840 --> 00:41:50,360
Speaker 7: Yeah, so definitely. It was the first time really where

737
00:41:50,400 --> 00:41:53,920
Speaker 7: he's like helping me on my angle and like might

738
00:41:53,960 --> 00:41:57,280
Speaker 7: get off and basically saying, we rushed first, then we passed,

739
00:41:57,760 --> 00:42:01,000
Speaker 7: then we you know, protect against the run. So basically

740
00:42:01,040 --> 00:42:03,799
Speaker 7: he wants every time, was trying to help us get

741
00:42:03,800 --> 00:42:05,800
Speaker 7: in the mindset of get off the ball and attack

742
00:42:05,960 --> 00:42:08,680
Speaker 7: and then you worry about everything else after so which

743
00:42:08,680 --> 00:42:10,440
Speaker 7: is kind of like what we did at Western, but

744
00:42:10,480 --> 00:42:13,799
Speaker 7: it was a little different. But he just portrayed like

745
00:42:13,840 --> 00:42:16,920
Speaker 7: a lot more like this is what we're going to do.

746
00:42:17,360 --> 00:42:19,760
Speaker 5: And at Western you were more of a run stopper.

747
00:42:19,800 --> 00:42:22,719
Speaker 5: But something that you've really developed, and especially training camp,

748
00:42:22,760 --> 00:42:25,120
Speaker 5: what I remember is being a better pass rusher. You've

749
00:42:25,160 --> 00:42:27,799
Speaker 5: shown your ability to pass rush a lot better. What's

750
00:42:27,840 --> 00:42:28,479
Speaker 5: helped with.

751
00:42:28,440 --> 00:42:33,040
Speaker 7: That obviously being around guys like Micaeh d Law and

752
00:42:33,200 --> 00:42:37,320
Speaker 7: you know those sam too, just those guys that are

753
00:42:37,680 --> 00:42:39,880
Speaker 7: you know, really good at pass rushing, just helping me,

754
00:42:40,440 --> 00:42:42,560
Speaker 7: explaining it to me and like, you know, breaking it down.

755
00:42:42,600 --> 00:42:44,880
Speaker 7: Like this off season, I'm probably gonna be with Micael

756
00:42:44,880 --> 00:42:47,640
Speaker 7: a little bit and try to work with him.

757
00:42:47,800 --> 00:42:49,320
Speaker 4: So just being around.

758
00:42:49,080 --> 00:42:51,279
Speaker 2: All those guys, we're going to China. You go to

759
00:42:51,360 --> 00:42:51,839
Speaker 2: China with.

760
00:42:51,840 --> 00:42:55,200
Speaker 5: Him, you gotta experience.

761
00:42:55,360 --> 00:42:58,799
Speaker 2: I mean, I'm pretty sure Michael is not listening, right, Yeah.

762
00:42:59,360 --> 00:43:01,200
Speaker 4: I mean maybe I don't know. I don't know about

763
00:43:01,200 --> 00:43:02,240
Speaker 4: that one.

764
00:43:01,840 --> 00:43:02,080
Speaker 8: We do.

765
00:43:02,600 --> 00:43:05,520
Speaker 5: Do you do any boxing or anything coordination?

766
00:43:05,600 --> 00:43:07,400
Speaker 4: So talk a little bit about that a little bit.

767
00:43:07,920 --> 00:43:12,360
Speaker 7: So even at Western, our strength coach Theregy two, he

768
00:43:12,400 --> 00:43:15,359
Speaker 7: does boxing like because he trained it before, so now

769
00:43:15,400 --> 00:43:18,760
Speaker 7: he like helps us with it great for hand eye coordination.

770
00:43:19,760 --> 00:43:22,880
Speaker 7: And then I did that while in training camp just

771
00:43:22,880 --> 00:43:25,719
Speaker 7: a little bit. Yeah, because after a while, you know,

772
00:43:25,800 --> 00:43:28,640
Speaker 7: playing d line, fenurs start getting sprained and it's like

773
00:43:29,120 --> 00:43:30,440
Speaker 7: I'm punching you, but it's hurting me.

774
00:43:33,080 --> 00:43:34,319
Speaker 4: Yeah.

775
00:43:33,800 --> 00:43:37,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, all right, we're gonna take our final break. Questions

Speaker 4: Yeah, Okay, I don't.

794
00:47:37,520 --> 00:47:39,920
Speaker 2: Want to before we take any questions from the audience.

795
00:47:39,960 --> 00:47:45,560
Speaker 2: I don't want to avoid finishing the trip to the

796
00:47:45,600 --> 00:47:49,520
Speaker 2: Senior Bowl. They tell you fifth or sixth, do you say, no,

797
00:47:50,040 --> 00:47:52,240
Speaker 2: I'm better than that. You go, you have a great week.

798
00:47:55,120 --> 00:47:57,960
Speaker 2: When did you check to see if they changed that,

799
00:47:58,360 --> 00:48:00,680
Speaker 2: like while you were there or after you got done?

800
00:48:01,560 --> 00:48:03,120
Speaker 7: I mean while I was there, you know, you see

801
00:48:03,160 --> 00:48:05,120
Speaker 7: a little bit of it. Everybody talk about it. You know,

802
00:48:05,160 --> 00:48:07,560
Speaker 7: it's draft talks Horizon. I think by the time I left,

803
00:48:07,600 --> 00:48:09,040
Speaker 7: they said it was probably third or fourth.

804
00:48:09,320 --> 00:48:11,480
Speaker 4: So yeah, third or fourth.

805
00:48:11,680 --> 00:48:13,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, and the Cowboys took you in the second.

806
00:48:13,800 --> 00:48:14,040
Speaker 4: Yeah.

807
00:48:14,120 --> 00:48:15,040
Speaker 2: Did that surprise you?

808
00:48:17,640 --> 00:48:20,319
Speaker 7: It surprised me that the Cowboys took me because I

809
00:48:20,440 --> 00:48:23,160
Speaker 7: was they did not say anything to me other than

810
00:48:23,200 --> 00:48:24,640
Speaker 7: one unofficial.

811
00:48:24,080 --> 00:48:27,320
Speaker 2: Meeting, because Tampa talked to you a lot, right, or

812
00:48:27,320 --> 00:48:28,560
Speaker 2: at least they were looking at.

813
00:48:28,440 --> 00:48:29,719
Speaker 4: You, I believe. So.

814
00:48:29,840 --> 00:48:32,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean I read a big thing today from

815
00:48:32,040 --> 00:48:35,359
Speaker 2: a year ago that Tampa, some Tampa writer was writing

816
00:48:35,360 --> 00:48:38,240
Speaker 2: about how you were gonna fit into their defense. Yeah,

817
00:48:38,280 --> 00:48:41,160
Speaker 2: so they they obviously, So you didn't have any a

818
00:48:41,160 --> 00:48:43,200
Speaker 2: lot of contact with the Cowboys.

819
00:48:43,480 --> 00:48:48,279
Speaker 4: I met our d line coach now coach Skannina. So

820
00:48:49,440 --> 00:48:49,879
Speaker 4: that's it.

821
00:48:49,960 --> 00:48:53,719
Speaker 7: And I honestly I after that meeting, I went back

822
00:48:53,760 --> 00:48:55,640
Speaker 7: and text my agent. I was like, yeah, I don't

823
00:48:55,640 --> 00:48:59,440
Speaker 7: think the Cowboys are gonna be like that meeting film

824
00:48:59,560 --> 00:49:01,520
Speaker 7: Like I felt like he did not like me, but

825
00:49:02,239 --> 00:49:03,640
Speaker 7: now I know that's just his person.

826
00:49:04,840 --> 00:49:05,200
Speaker 4: Yeah.

Speaker 4: Pretty much? Yeah, he did a good amount of that.

849
00:50:00,120 --> 00:50:04,920
Speaker 7: But I had sixteen Top thirty visits, so I was

850
00:50:05,719 --> 00:50:07,560
Speaker 7: visiting a lot of people, which I was like, you know,

851
00:50:07,960 --> 00:50:10,879
Speaker 7: basically off that my visits with them, like okay, this

00:50:15,680 --> 00:50:20,200

Speaker 4: I'm not gonna lie.

857
00:50:22,120 --> 00:50:27,560
Speaker 7: I really liked Minnesota, the Vikings, I really liked them.

858
00:50:27,840 --> 00:50:34,280
Speaker 7: And then why Minnesota? They just you know, coaches was vibes,

859
00:50:34,320 --> 00:50:36,919

Speaker 7: so you know they was up there. Then there was

861
00:50:39,000 --> 00:50:42,480
Speaker 7: another team. But honestly, after the Cowboys got me, all

862
00:50:42,520 --> 00:50:43,719
Speaker 7: that went down to dream.

863
00:50:44,239 --> 00:50:46,719
Speaker 5: What was the conversation like with the coach when you

864
00:50:46,760 --> 00:50:49,520

00:50:54,120 --> 00:50:55,320
Speaker 4: We're gonna put a star on that helmet.

868
00:50:55,400 --> 00:50:58,000
Speaker 7: I was like, okay, yeah, like this is it, this

869
00:50:58,040 --> 00:51:00,680
Speaker 7: is yeah, it's feeling me.

870
00:51:01,480 --> 00:51:06,600
Speaker 2: It's get some questions from the audience. Go hip, hi

871
00:51:06,680 --> 00:51:07,040
Speaker 2: you doing.

872
00:51:07,520 --> 00:51:08,840
Speaker 4: I'm turning it from Dallas.

873
00:51:10,040 --> 00:51:14,359
Speaker 12: Everybody knows the defensive lineman had their or defensive lineman

874
00:51:14,440 --> 00:51:15,520
Speaker 12: had their toolboxes.

875
00:51:16,400 --> 00:51:17,160
Speaker 4: How much did.

876
00:51:17,040 --> 00:51:22,560
Speaker 7: Yours improve from when you went from college to the pros?

877
00:51:22,680 --> 00:51:26,480
Speaker 4: And and is there anything that you were using in college.

878
00:51:26,080 --> 00:51:29,520
Speaker 7: That that guys gave you a little more edge when

879
00:51:29,560 --> 00:51:31,040
Speaker 7: you got to the pros?

880
00:51:31,120 --> 00:51:32,879
Speaker 4: Good question, Good question for sure.

881
00:51:33,040 --> 00:51:36,520
Speaker 7: So I think I've been trying to sharpen up my

882
00:51:36,560 --> 00:51:39,880
Speaker 7: toolbox as far as going from college to the pros. Now,

883
00:51:41,000 --> 00:51:44,000
Speaker 7: I've worked a good amount of stab, bull rush in

884
00:51:44,040 --> 00:51:46,480
Speaker 7: college and stuff like that. But now, you know, obviously

885
00:51:46,520 --> 00:51:48,480
Speaker 7: you still set everything up with you know, a stab

886
00:51:48,520 --> 00:51:50,719
Speaker 7: and stuff like that, but working more you know, swipes

887
00:51:50,760 --> 00:51:52,960
Speaker 7: and you know a little bit more fornesse moves, but

888
00:51:53,040 --> 00:51:55,520
Speaker 7: still staying true to the power because obviously I was

889
00:51:55,560 --> 00:51:57,359
Speaker 7: blessed with a good amount of power to be able

890
00:51:57,360 --> 00:51:58,719
Speaker 7: to move guys, you know.

891
00:51:58,920 --> 00:52:05,520
Speaker 4: So yeah, all right.

892
00:52:05,440 --> 00:52:09,440
Speaker 12: Ma, Sean there MCKINNI. Let's go back to high school

893
00:52:09,440 --> 00:52:12,280
Speaker 12: when you were a tight end. You had some stats

894
00:52:12,719 --> 00:52:15,399
Speaker 12: twenty receptions for three hundred and thirty yards. That's that's

895
00:52:15,480 --> 00:52:17,840
Speaker 12: quite a bit, so you definitely have sure hands.

896
00:52:18,719 --> 00:52:19,640
Speaker 4: Yeah.

897
00:52:19,880 --> 00:52:21,799
Speaker 12: I don't know how you feel about this, but I

898
00:52:22,080 --> 00:52:24,279
Speaker 12: predict by the end of the season, you're gonna have

899
00:52:24,280 --> 00:52:27,520
Speaker 12: at these one interception for a touchdown this year.

900
00:52:28,000 --> 00:52:31,680
Speaker 2: This year, I mean, you're narrowing your window to like

901
00:52:31,719 --> 00:52:32,680
Speaker 2: the next four weeks.

902
00:52:32,800 --> 00:52:33,960
Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm confident.

903
00:52:33,960 --> 00:52:37,359
Speaker 7: Okay, Yeah, Hey, we dropped back and coverage from time

904
00:52:37,400 --> 00:52:37,719
Speaker 7: to time.

905
00:52:37,840 --> 00:52:40,640
Speaker 4: So where do things that have happened?

906
00:52:42,360 --> 00:52:44,080
Speaker 2: Did you just go any touchdowns in college?

907
00:52:44,280 --> 00:52:44,800
Speaker 4: In college?

908
00:52:44,920 --> 00:52:45,040
Speaker 11: Uh?

909
00:52:45,160 --> 00:52:47,840
Speaker 4: Yeah, I was a running touchdown though they let me

910
00:52:47,920 --> 00:52:48,520
Speaker 4: be running back.

911
00:52:48,880 --> 00:52:51,239
Speaker 5: I mean it's not impossible. You saw Chauncey Golson had

912
00:52:51,280 --> 00:52:51,880
Speaker 5: an interception.

913
00:52:52,000 --> 00:52:56,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, absolutely, But now this intrigues me what he's talking about.

914
00:52:58,920 --> 00:53:00,440
Speaker 2: I can see you light up in the.

915
00:53:00,400 --> 00:53:03,160
Speaker 4: Goal line back. Yeah, you feel me?

916
00:53:03,440 --> 00:53:04,399
Speaker 2: I do?

917
00:53:04,400 --> 00:53:05,120
Speaker 4: Do you feel me?

918
00:53:05,160 --> 00:53:05,440
Speaker 8: I do?

919
00:53:06,040 --> 00:53:09,840
Speaker 7: Hey, I'm still saying that phonmal recovery I had. I

920
00:53:09,840 --> 00:53:13,239
Speaker 7: don't think nobody touched me though, But that's what they call.

921
00:53:13,360 --> 00:53:15,399
Speaker 7: Because I'm not gonna lie. I get up on that.

922
00:53:15,480 --> 00:53:17,640
Speaker 7: I get another one. I'm out of there.

923
00:53:17,800 --> 00:53:18,480
Speaker 4: Do you touchdown?

924
00:53:19,560 --> 00:53:24,080
Speaker 2: Do you work at fullback in short yardage on the

925
00:53:24,120 --> 00:53:26,240
Speaker 2: scout team and practice?

926
00:53:27,040 --> 00:53:27,360
Speaker 10: Nah?

927
00:53:27,600 --> 00:53:30,000
Speaker 2: Have you told them. You wouldn't mind.

928
00:53:30,680 --> 00:53:37,360
Speaker 4: Oh, they probably know if they've seen it.

929
00:53:34,920 --> 00:53:37,440
Speaker 2: Because once you block a couple times, then the next

930
00:53:37,520 --> 00:53:39,600
Speaker 2: obvious thing is just hand you the ball.

931
00:53:39,719 --> 00:53:43,200
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, so you know it's in their hands.

932
00:53:43,200 --> 00:53:44,080
Speaker 2: Oh, I'm all about that.

933
00:53:44,680 --> 00:53:47,040
Speaker 5: Are there any other positions that you would pitch to

934
00:53:47,080 --> 00:53:48,520
Speaker 5: any of the coaches to play?

935
00:53:48,600 --> 00:53:50,960
Speaker 4: I could play tight end. I can still play tight end.

936
00:53:51,719 --> 00:53:54,239
Speaker 7: I believe that I could definitely go out there get

937
00:53:54,239 --> 00:53:56,640
Speaker 7: a good block on somebody. I can definitely go out

938
00:53:56,640 --> 00:53:59,480
Speaker 7: there get a good first down if we need it.

939
00:53:59,840 --> 00:54:01,400
Speaker 5: I can say a lot of kind of you know,

940
00:54:01,480 --> 00:54:03,440
Speaker 5: addling some adding some razzaldowsles.

941
00:54:03,880 --> 00:54:05,879
Speaker 2: I'm saying this is a two This is a two

942
00:54:05,960 --> 00:54:10,319
Speaker 2: way player, folks. This man is built for that. I

943
00:54:10,360 --> 00:54:12,839
Speaker 2: cannot let the We're almost done, but I cannot let

944
00:54:12,840 --> 00:54:16,560
Speaker 2: the time pass without talking about the number you were

945

00:54:26,320 --> 00:54:29,560

Speaker 7: Yeah, Actually I didn't know what number I was gonna

952
00:54:36,480 --> 00:54:40,280

953
00:54:40,280 --> 00:54:42,720
Speaker 7: I were ninety four, but my last year I switched

954
00:54:42,719 --> 00:54:45,080
Speaker 7: to ninety nine, so I didn't I wasn't too sure.

955
00:54:45,120 --> 00:54:46,600
Speaker 7: Obviously I knew there was a ninety nine on the

956
00:54:46,600 --> 00:54:49,960
Speaker 7: team already. Then it was my friend Hosey. He texted

957

00:55:03,600 --> 00:55:05,520
Speaker 2: So have you have you had the chance to meet

963

968
00:55:19,040 --> 00:55:23,200
Speaker 7: So haven't got the chance to meet DeMarcus, but you

969
00:55:23,239 --> 00:55:24,840
Speaker 7: know well.

970
00:55:24,200 --> 00:55:25,880
Speaker 2: I will text him when we get up there and

971
00:55:25,960 --> 00:55:28,040
Speaker 2: tell him he needs to get out here. And me,

972
00:55:28,160 --> 00:55:31,520
Speaker 2: do you have you have you youtubed any of Charles's tape?

973
00:55:31,719 --> 00:55:33,640
Speaker 4: Oh, I've seen You've seen him, I've seen.

974
00:55:34,000 --> 00:55:35,840
Speaker 2: So this is the Latin. This will probably be the

975
00:55:35,920 --> 00:55:37,480
Speaker 2: last question I have time to ask you. But you

976
00:55:37,520 --> 00:55:42,160
Speaker 2: know the they talk about an edge rusher and it

977
00:55:42,320 --> 00:55:44,959
Speaker 2: kind of puts a guy in a box of being

978
00:55:45,920 --> 00:55:49,600
Speaker 2: a one dimensional player. But when we saw you and

979
00:55:49,760 --> 00:55:52,640
Speaker 2: looked at some of your college stuff, I immediately thought of

980
00:55:52,680 --> 00:55:55,200
Speaker 2: DeMarcus Lawrence, who I still think is the best run

981
00:55:55,520 --> 00:55:58,319
Speaker 2: stopping defensive end in the league. Doesn't mean he's not

982
00:55:58,320 --> 00:56:01,680
Speaker 2: a great pass rusher, but do you feel yourself kind

983
00:56:01,719 --> 00:56:02,680
Speaker 2: of more in that mode?

984
00:56:04,719 --> 00:56:08,560
Speaker 7: I definitely feel like run stopping is definitely something I've

985
00:56:08,600 --> 00:56:11,920
Speaker 7: you know, prided upon obviously being somebody that loves to

986
00:56:12,000 --> 00:56:15,960
Speaker 7: hit doing that, but obviously in this league, you got

987
00:56:16,000 --> 00:56:16,200
Speaker 7: to be.

988
00:56:16,120 --> 00:56:18,359
Speaker 4: A great pass rusher, which like he is as well.

989
00:56:18,440 --> 00:56:19,279
Speaker 4: I'm trying to get there.

990
00:56:19,400 --> 00:56:22,440
Speaker 5: Who do you feel like you have taken pieces of

991
00:56:22,480 --> 00:56:23,280
Speaker 5: their game from?

992
00:56:24,880 --> 00:56:28,600
Speaker 7: I mean not necessarily, but I'll used to play corner

993
00:56:28,640 --> 00:56:29,200
