Speaker 1: You kind of said before you got started getting a

8
00:00:16,840 --> 00:00:20,000
Speaker 1: little more popular, which makes sense, playing a little more

9
00:00:20,040 --> 00:00:25,440
Speaker 1: which is nice. Do you feel like the first opportunity

10
00:00:25,520 --> 00:00:28,840
Speaker 1: last week one? I assume that you've dreamed of for

11
00:00:28,880 --> 00:00:29,680
Speaker 1: a long time.

12
00:00:29,600 --> 00:00:33,080
Speaker 3: Right, yeah, I mean just thinking about that going into

13
00:00:33,120 --> 00:00:35,200
Speaker 3: the game, knowing I was starting, I was just thinking

14
00:00:35,280 --> 00:00:38,239
Speaker 3: to myself, dame starting in the NFL. That was a

15
00:00:38,400 --> 00:00:41,000
Speaker 3: big goal bit dream of mas to be a starting

16
00:00:41,159 --> 00:00:44,760
Speaker 3: linebacker in the NFL. But I wouldn't said that changed

17
00:00:44,920 --> 00:00:47,320
Speaker 3: the preparation I said going into that game, trying to

18
00:00:47,320 --> 00:00:49,839
Speaker 3: prepare the best I can to take advantage of the

19
00:00:49,880 --> 00:00:50,600
Speaker 3: opportunity that I have.

20
00:00:51,560 --> 00:00:53,880
Speaker 1: Tell me about Ven Troll growing up. Were you a

21
00:00:54,400 --> 00:00:57,200
Speaker 1: NFL fan? Did you watch it Sundays, go out and

22
00:00:57,240 --> 00:01:00,120
Speaker 1: play after the games or what was your relationship with

00:01:00,160 --> 00:01:02,560
Speaker 1: the NFL like or are you more of a college

24

Speaker 1: guy some guys are.

25
00:01:03,720 --> 00:01:06,399
Speaker 3: Uh, I just say I was more of a football guy.

26
00:01:06,480 --> 00:01:08,360
Speaker 3: I say, I watched I watched a little bit of it,

27
00:01:08,440 --> 00:01:12,000
Speaker 3: of it all. I always played football outside, I'll say.

28
00:01:12,040 --> 00:01:14,880
Speaker 3: And then growing up we have my little league had

29
00:01:15,000 --> 00:01:18,040
Speaker 3: football year round, so I'll played summer and the winter.

30
00:01:18,160 --> 00:01:19,360
Speaker 2: So I was always football.

31
00:01:19,840 --> 00:01:21,680
Speaker 3: Any chance I got to play football was out there,

32
00:01:21,680 --> 00:01:23,520
Speaker 3: whether that was on the street or going to practice

33
00:01:23,600 --> 00:01:24,480
Speaker 3: or whatever that was.

34
00:01:24,560 --> 00:01:28,119
Speaker 1: So now I went to Kathleen right Lakeland. Now when

35
00:01:28,120 --> 00:01:31,360

42
00:01:47,800 --> 00:01:51,279
Speaker 3: with that. Uh. And then as far as Kathleen, Lakeland

43
00:01:51,280 --> 00:01:54,160

Speaker 1: You know, I invented ray Lewis. I put it. I

53
00:02:16,880 --> 00:02:18,960

Speaker 1: on the all state team back in Oh. Yeah, I

55
00:02:21,360 --> 00:02:23,720

59
00:02:37,240 --> 00:02:38,040
Speaker 1: from a tough start.

60
00:02:39,680 --> 00:02:41,799
Speaker 3: I feel like it's just keeping up the right mindset

61
00:02:42,080 --> 00:02:44,960
Speaker 3: coming out, especially just to start it this week. Uh,

62
00:02:45,080 --> 00:02:48,120
Speaker 3: it's just that is gonna be a grind on practice. Well,

63
00:02:48,240 --> 00:02:49,880
Speaker 3: we always believe that you're gonna practice how you play.

64
00:02:49,960 --> 00:02:52,440
Speaker 3: So just going out there being locked into your execution

65
00:02:52,840 --> 00:02:55,080
Speaker 3: and just doing the small things right, I say. But

66
00:02:55,800 --> 00:02:58,960
Speaker 3: and then knowing we knowing we down and a must win,

67
00:02:59,080 --> 00:03:01,360
Speaker 3: must win week. So I feel like everybody's honed in,

68
00:03:01,520 --> 00:03:04,200
Speaker 3: locked in and trying to come get that win this week.

69
00:03:04,720 --> 00:03:07,359
Speaker 1: How are this defense? Is mentality? Still looking for a turnover?

70
00:03:08,800 --> 00:03:12,600
Speaker 1: Emphasizing that a lot. What's the mindset on that front?

71
00:03:12,600 --> 00:03:15,480
Speaker 1: Because it is a defense. It's playing well enough to

72
00:03:15,560 --> 00:03:18,600
Speaker 1: force those Do you just gotta let them come to you? Yeah?

73
00:03:18,760 --> 00:03:22,880
Speaker 3: Uh, I say more emphasis, more emphasis on it been

74
00:03:23,000 --> 00:03:25,720
Speaker 3: this week. Uh, we're trying to get the ball out,

75
00:03:25,720 --> 00:03:27,880
Speaker 3: whether that's poking it out, trying to get interceptions, but

76
00:03:28,480 --> 00:03:31,880
Speaker 3: just having that mindset I think, and keep locking in

77
00:03:32,000 --> 00:03:33,960
Speaker 3: on that mindset while you're out there to get a turnover.

78
00:03:34,000 --> 00:03:35,920
Speaker 3: I think that's when they will start to come for real.

79
00:03:35,960 --> 00:03:37,280
Speaker 2: When just have that mindset.

80
00:03:37,640 --> 00:03:41,800
Speaker 3: Always any opportunity for a takeaway, you taking advantage of it.

81
00:03:41,880 --> 00:03:44,200
Speaker 1: I got you now the questions that you know are

82
00:03:44,200 --> 00:03:48,640
Speaker 1: coming because it's always your theme. Uh. Dealt with injuries

83
00:03:48,960 --> 00:03:53,960
Speaker 1: in your career? Yeah? Uh, how how tough has that been?

84
00:03:54,680 --> 00:03:54,920
Speaker 3: How?

85
00:03:55,840 --> 00:03:57,560
Speaker 1: I guess tell me about your journey here? I guess

86
00:03:57,600 --> 00:04:00,600
Speaker 1: is what I'm getting at. Has that been tough to overcome?

87
00:04:00,840 --> 00:04:02,760
Speaker 1: How do you stay strong during that because you have

88
00:04:02,840 --> 00:04:03,480
Speaker 1: had to deal with it?

89
00:04:03,560 --> 00:04:07,880
Speaker 3: Yeah, definitely requires a lot of mental toughness any anytime

90
00:04:07,920 --> 00:04:10,040
Speaker 3: a player gets hurt for a stanting period of time,

91
00:04:11,280 --> 00:04:14,520
Speaker 3: just to go in having a mindset to attack the attack,

92
00:04:14,600 --> 00:04:18,720
Speaker 3: the rehab workouts, whatever that is, and just having the

93
00:04:18,800 --> 00:04:21,440
Speaker 3: mind is to get back bigger, stronger, faster. That was

94
00:04:21,440 --> 00:04:24,719
Speaker 3: always my goal anytime I got hurt to come back bigger, stronger, faster,

95
00:04:25,880 --> 00:04:28,359
Speaker 3: and basically, like after I told my Achilles that was

96
00:04:28,360 --> 00:04:30,800
Speaker 3: the that was the plan for me to come back bigger, stronger,

97
00:04:30,839 --> 00:04:34,600
Speaker 3: faster and attack everything I did with that rehab working

98
00:04:34,640 --> 00:04:37,720
Speaker 3: out and definitely did that. Came back bigger, stronger, faster

99
00:04:37,800 --> 00:04:39,760
Speaker 3: when one that I always said and done. But just

100
00:04:39,800 --> 00:04:43,119
Speaker 3: having that mentality and just being resilient with whatever comes

101
00:04:43,160 --> 00:04:43,520
Speaker 3: my way.

102
00:04:44,360 --> 00:04:48,000
Speaker 1: You know, again we've talked a couple of times. Uh,

103
00:04:48,160 --> 00:04:50,560
Speaker 1: but you seem like such an upbeat person when you

104
00:04:50,560 --> 00:04:52,440
Speaker 1: see you walking down the locker room, always got a smile.

105
00:04:55,160 --> 00:04:57,520
Speaker 1: You have the Achilles injury, which is a tough injury.

106
00:04:58,440 --> 00:05:01,839
Speaker 1: How much did that test sort of your positive outlook

107
00:05:01,839 --> 00:05:04,240
Speaker 1: when you got if you follow me, because it's tough,

108
00:05:04,240 --> 00:05:06,080
Speaker 1: I mean, yeah, it's a tough time to get that

109
00:05:06,120 --> 00:05:06,880
Speaker 1: as a rookie.

110
00:05:06,640 --> 00:05:09,320
Speaker 3: All right, Uh, I just say the door to the Lord.

111
00:05:09,400 --> 00:05:12,560
Speaker 3: Just keep the smile on my face. I say each

112
00:05:12,600 --> 00:05:14,920
Speaker 3: and every week, just knowing knowing that it is the

113
00:05:14,960 --> 00:05:17,479
Speaker 3: opportunity to still get better whatever that is, and it

114
00:05:17,480 --> 00:05:20,080
Speaker 3: could always be worse. So it's still trying to attack

115
00:05:20,120 --> 00:05:23,719
Speaker 3: the days, trying to get better. How I can I know?

116
00:05:23,839 --> 00:05:25,680
Speaker 3: Last yet, I was in a lot of meetings, knowing

117
00:05:25,760 --> 00:05:28,240
Speaker 3: I couldn't really be out there practice, but still holding

118
00:05:28,279 --> 00:05:30,080
Speaker 3: in and locking in on the meetings and whatever.

119
00:05:30,120 --> 00:05:30,560
Speaker 2: That was.

120
00:05:31,560 --> 00:05:34,920
Speaker 1: How pleased are you? Because I've been doing this a while,

121
00:05:35,400 --> 00:05:38,760
Speaker 1: I've covered guys who've had achilles, and that can be

122
00:05:38,800 --> 00:05:43,200
Speaker 1: one of the more brutal injuries. Right, So I didn't

123
00:05:43,400 --> 00:05:45,200
Speaker 1: see you play in the NFL much before that because

124
00:05:45,240 --> 00:05:50,080
Speaker 1: you didn't, right, But it looks like speed reaction. It

125
00:05:50,120 --> 00:05:54,279
Speaker 1: looks like you're back. How pleased are you with where

126
00:05:54,320 --> 00:05:57,080
Speaker 1: you're at and that and how you're playing? Uh?

127
00:05:57,279 --> 00:05:57,800
Speaker 2: Very please?

128
00:05:57,920 --> 00:05:59,920
Speaker 3: Just knowing, but I know I got still more work

129
00:06:00,040 --> 00:06:05,279
Speaker 3: to do, still trying to get better, I'll say, but

130
00:06:05,360 --> 00:06:07,360
Speaker 3: it was a ground. But I'm I definitely say I'm

131
00:06:07,360 --> 00:06:10,039
Speaker 3: pleased with just my off season and just how I work,

132
00:06:11,120 --> 00:06:12,640
Speaker 3: how much of a ground I was, and just to

133
00:06:12,680 --> 00:06:15,200
Speaker 3: see it pay off, That's really what I'm happy about.

134
00:06:15,880 --> 00:06:18,040
Speaker 1: And watching it last week and watching a little bit

135
00:06:18,120 --> 00:06:22,760
Speaker 1: you know at Florida always struck me as a really

136
00:06:22,800 --> 00:06:27,640
Speaker 1: instinctive player. When the play is there to be made,

137
00:06:28,080 --> 00:06:31,919
Speaker 1: you make it look easy, whereas it's not easy. Have

138
00:06:32,000 --> 00:06:34,520
Speaker 1: you always been an instinctive player? Was that part of

139
00:06:34,520 --> 00:06:37,080
Speaker 1: the game, meaning sort of knowing where that plays go

140
00:06:37,200 --> 00:06:41,960
Speaker 1: and feeling it. Has that always been part of you? Yeah,

141
00:06:42,040 --> 00:06:42,760
Speaker 1: here's how you play.

142
00:06:42,839 --> 00:06:44,359
Speaker 3: Yeah, I definitely say it's always been a part of

143
00:06:44,400 --> 00:06:48,280
Speaker 3: my game, very instinctive. No, I haven't had a lot

144
00:06:48,320 --> 00:06:50,080
Speaker 3: of reps in the NFL, but I said I had

145
00:06:50,120 --> 00:06:53,080
Speaker 3: a lot of rep just playing football throughout my whole career,

146
00:06:53,120 --> 00:06:55,279
Speaker 3: whether I was college, high school, all that kind of stuff.

147
00:06:55,320 --> 00:07:00,280
Speaker 3: So I'm very familiar with just football in generalized. And

148
00:07:00,320 --> 00:07:02,240
Speaker 3: then I played running back a little little running back

149
00:07:02,240 --> 00:07:04,479
Speaker 3: as well growing up, So I feel like I have

150
00:07:04,600 --> 00:07:07,440
Speaker 3: a little I feel about running backs and just how

151
00:07:07,480 --> 00:07:09,360
Speaker 3: to hit the hole and just being instinct oble what

152
00:07:09,440 --> 00:07:10,080
Speaker 3: a fit out.

153
00:07:11,160 --> 00:07:13,240
Speaker 1: Because you play like a guy who has played a

154
00:07:13,240 --> 00:07:17,400
Speaker 1: lot of football and understands it. Do you is there

155
00:07:17,480 --> 00:07:20,040
Speaker 1: study involved with that? Do you live it on that front?

156
00:07:20,120 --> 00:07:22,800
Speaker 3: I guess yeah, there's definitely a lot of studying that

157
00:07:22,840 --> 00:07:26,000
Speaker 3: goes into it, especially out linebacker, just being the quarterback

158
00:07:26,040 --> 00:07:29,800
Speaker 3: of the defense. But instincts passed on top of on

159
00:07:29,880 --> 00:07:31,560
Speaker 3: top of the film study. It puts you in the

160
00:07:31,680 --> 00:07:33,280
Speaker 3: in the in the in the best position to make

161
00:07:33,320 --> 00:07:33,640
Speaker 3: a play.

162
00:07:33,680 --> 00:07:36,040
Speaker 1: I would say instincts don't do any good if you

163
00:07:36,040 --> 00:07:36,840
Speaker 1: don't know where you're going.

164
00:07:36,840 --> 00:07:39,360
Speaker 2: Right right, Yeah, most definitely.

165
00:07:40,800 --> 00:07:44,280
Speaker 1: And again, just watching you last week, I think most

166
00:07:44,280 --> 00:07:48,000
Speaker 1: guys who play in the NFL enjoy it, but there

167
00:07:48,120 --> 00:07:53,640
Speaker 1: seems to be a joy when you play, Uh, embracing

168
00:07:53,680 --> 00:07:59,239
Speaker 1: the game, embracing the moment. You know, do you feel

169
00:07:59,240 --> 00:08:01,560
Speaker 1: like that's a big part of you in terms of

170
00:08:01,600 --> 00:08:03,200
Speaker 1: just how much you love to play this game. And

171
00:08:03,240 --> 00:08:06,760
Speaker 1: it sounds a little it's trite, but it does feel

172
00:08:06,760 --> 00:08:07,880
Speaker 1: that way when you watch you play.

173
00:08:08,000 --> 00:08:12,640
Speaker 3: Yeah, I say just I'm just a competitive I say so.

174
00:08:12,680 --> 00:08:15,520
Speaker 3: Any anytime it's the chance to go out there and compete,

175
00:08:15,560 --> 00:08:18,480
Speaker 3: I'm always coming out to trying to bring my my best.

176
00:08:19,440 --> 00:08:21,600
Speaker 3: Growing up, I have four brothers, so my mamma had

177
00:08:21,720 --> 00:08:25,320
Speaker 3: five boys. So it's just that competitive nature older the

178
00:08:25,320 --> 00:08:28,560
Speaker 3: rest younger. But yeah, I always always gave them a hard.

179
00:08:28,400 --> 00:08:31,239
Speaker 2: Time and whatever. It was, always trying to compete.

180
00:08:31,480 --> 00:08:33,760
Speaker 1: Just grew up, grew up with that your best player

181
00:08:33,800 --> 00:08:34,439

Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm always I'm always playing that.

Speaker 1: a rookie playing at a high level, I've got to

187
00:08:47,800 --> 00:08:50,760
Speaker 1: think you feel like there's worlds more out there for
