WEBVTT - A Conversation with Jets LB C.J. Mosley (6/14)

0:00:04.160 --> 0:00:06.000
<v Speaker 1>We were presented by a win Bett. Betting is a

0:00:06.040 --> 0:00:08.560
<v Speaker 1>team sport, but together it went beat. Eric Ellen here

0:00:08.560 --> 0:00:12.520
<v Speaker 1>in the studio, joined by Jets inside linebacker C. J. Mosley.

0:00:12.560 --> 0:00:15.720
<v Speaker 1>Great to see it. My city too. When the schedule

0:00:15.840 --> 0:00:19.119
<v Speaker 1>came out very recently and he saw the Baltimore Ravens

0:00:19.160 --> 0:00:22.759
<v Speaker 1>the home opener, what do you think it was that

0:00:22.880 --> 0:00:24.959
<v Speaker 1>side and feeling now I missed out on an opportunity

0:00:24.960 --> 0:00:28.040
<v Speaker 1>to play in Baltimore. Uh so you guys open up

0:00:28.040 --> 0:00:30.960
<v Speaker 1>Septemer eleven, you know, a home opener at home, so

0:00:31.000 --> 0:00:34.080
<v Speaker 1>it's definitely gonna be an exciting game. But more importantly,

0:00:34.080 --> 0:00:36.839
<v Speaker 1>you just incited more for an opportunity. Um. I mean

0:00:36.840 --> 0:00:39.560
<v Speaker 1>it's been four maybe four or five years now since

0:00:39.560 --> 0:00:42.080
<v Speaker 1>I played with Baltimore, so you know that hype is

0:00:42.120 --> 0:00:44.360
<v Speaker 1>going to always be there. But when I step on

0:00:44.360 --> 0:00:46.560
<v Speaker 1>that few at the end of the day, I'll be

0:00:46.600 --> 0:00:48.519
<v Speaker 1>happy with a W. I don't care. You care how

0:00:48.560 --> 0:00:50.600
<v Speaker 1>many talkers I have, don't care how many players I made.

0:00:50.960 --> 0:00:52.320
<v Speaker 1>If you come out of the game with a W,

0:00:52.479 --> 0:00:54.680
<v Speaker 1>that's all that matters. What do you think the environment

0:00:54.760 --> 0:00:57.280
<v Speaker 1>is going to be like at MetLife Stadium for Week one?

0:00:57.360 --> 0:00:58.720
<v Speaker 1>I know you've got a lot of work to go

0:00:58.920 --> 0:01:02.680
<v Speaker 1>before then, but just after this offseason it was year

0:01:02.760 --> 0:01:08.199
<v Speaker 1>one under Robert Solo. Last year, big additions, um both

0:01:08.240 --> 0:01:11.520
<v Speaker 1>and free agency and the draft, and everybody's raving about

0:01:11.520 --> 0:01:13.200
<v Speaker 1>the culture, what you guys are building. What do you

0:01:13.240 --> 0:01:15.920
<v Speaker 1>think it's gonna be like to be there? Uh, everybody's

0:01:15.959 --> 0:01:17.760
<v Speaker 1>gonna be on the edge of their seats from from

0:01:17.800 --> 0:01:21.280
<v Speaker 1>start to finish. That's that's the mentality that's kind of

0:01:21.319 --> 0:01:23.200
<v Speaker 1>been set this year, like you said, with the free

0:01:23.240 --> 0:01:25.480
<v Speaker 1>agent signings, with with the people that we got in

0:01:25.480 --> 0:01:28.120
<v Speaker 1>the draft, with the young guys, with the cultural change.

0:01:28.240 --> 0:01:31.119
<v Speaker 1>Now every everybody's saying this is the year, y'all. Y'all

0:01:31.200 --> 0:01:33.679
<v Speaker 1>know how that goes. But um, honestly, you know, just

0:01:33.800 --> 0:01:36.600
<v Speaker 1>being just being here in the locker room, being around

0:01:36.600 --> 0:01:40.040
<v Speaker 1>the guys this offseason, everybody really, you know, feels that

0:01:40.040 --> 0:01:42.160
<v Speaker 1>that energy, really feels that, you know, this can be

0:01:42.200 --> 0:01:44.560
<v Speaker 1>a special year. But we all know it's gonna take

0:01:44.560 --> 0:01:46.080
<v Speaker 1>a lot of work, and like you said, this is

0:01:46.200 --> 0:01:48.520
<v Speaker 1>just the beginning of what we're trying to accomplish. And

0:01:48.800 --> 0:01:51.600
<v Speaker 1>if everybody, you know, stay of course, continue to do

0:01:51.680 --> 0:01:54.200
<v Speaker 1>the right things on and off the field, believe in

0:01:54.200 --> 0:01:55.960
<v Speaker 1>each other, and we can we can go as far

0:01:56.000 --> 0:01:58.000
<v Speaker 1>as if we want to this year and and for

0:01:58.040 --> 0:02:01.279
<v Speaker 1>more years to come. I charged up. Was met life

0:02:01.720 --> 0:02:06.160
<v Speaker 1>your first game there as it was? It was, It

0:02:06.280 --> 0:02:08.760
<v Speaker 1>wasn't one to forget. I'll tell you that. It was

0:02:08.800 --> 0:02:11.240
<v Speaker 1>a lot of fun um. You know, you know, the

0:02:11.240 --> 0:02:13.800
<v Speaker 1>crowd has always into it um. You know from the

0:02:13.840 --> 0:02:15.640
<v Speaker 1>first from the first snap, you know, it was it

0:02:15.720 --> 0:02:18.200
<v Speaker 1>was rocking man. And you don't have that momentum in

0:02:18.240 --> 0:02:20.560
<v Speaker 1>your back. You love to have the crowd riding with

0:02:20.720 --> 0:02:23.320
<v Speaker 1>you play in and play out. And you really just

0:02:23.400 --> 0:02:27.040
<v Speaker 1>felt how offense defense teams just clicking, involving off each other.

0:02:27.080 --> 0:02:29.200
<v Speaker 1>You know, defense get to stop the offense went out

0:02:29.240 --> 0:02:31.639
<v Speaker 1>there and handled their business. Offense didn't get a get

0:02:31.639 --> 0:02:34.120
<v Speaker 1>a touchdown. You know, special teams put put the defense

0:02:34.160 --> 0:02:36.120
<v Speaker 1>in a good position. So it was just it was

0:02:36.120 --> 0:02:38.360
<v Speaker 1>just a lot of complimentary football going on that game.

0:02:38.680 --> 0:02:41.040
<v Speaker 1>And when you really can click like that and finish

0:02:41.080 --> 0:02:43.840
<v Speaker 1>our games, that's that's when you really know you got something. Well,

0:02:43.880 --> 0:02:47.239
<v Speaker 1>we're gonna talk much more than just the schedule, but

0:02:47.320 --> 0:02:48.840
<v Speaker 1>what do you think when you saw the a f

0:02:48.960 --> 0:02:52.920
<v Speaker 1>C North and four consecutive weeks to start the season, Well, Honestly,

0:02:52.960 --> 0:02:56.000
<v Speaker 1>for me, it's it's like another season I'm used to

0:02:56.160 --> 0:02:59.320
<v Speaker 1>you know, playing playing those well, those three opponents you know,

0:02:59.400 --> 0:03:01.840
<v Speaker 1>year and year out. But it's gonna be a test.

0:03:02.120 --> 0:03:04.240
<v Speaker 1>It's gonna be a test. Earlier in the season. On

0:03:04.280 --> 0:03:05.799
<v Speaker 1>the first four games of the season, a lot of

0:03:05.840 --> 0:03:08.640
<v Speaker 1>mistakes can happen. You know, teams still figure out what

0:03:08.840 --> 0:03:11.200
<v Speaker 1>they like the best, what personnel, what you know, what

0:03:11.280 --> 0:03:13.600
<v Speaker 1>things that can happen. Um. So you know, for us,

0:03:13.720 --> 0:03:15.399
<v Speaker 1>we just got to make sure we come we come

0:03:15.400 --> 0:03:17.799
<v Speaker 1>out precise, We come out and do our best, chold

0:03:17.880 --> 0:03:20.760
<v Speaker 1>not to play, try to play mistake free football, um,

0:03:21.120 --> 0:03:22.960
<v Speaker 1>and try to be a team that can really know

0:03:23.040 --> 0:03:26.600
<v Speaker 1>close our games and have the situations really well. Simularly

0:03:26.639 --> 0:03:30.679
<v Speaker 1>playing against the guy like Lamar Jackson. And also with

0:03:30.720 --> 0:03:35.440
<v Speaker 1>that being said, does it help you guys to face

0:03:35.840 --> 0:03:39.160
<v Speaker 1>in an offense is so unique like that in week

0:03:39.280 --> 0:03:41.880
<v Speaker 1>one because you do have the three or four months

0:03:41.920 --> 0:03:45.800
<v Speaker 1>before knowing you're going against something. Yeah, It's it's not easy.

0:03:45.960 --> 0:03:48.280
<v Speaker 1>You know, he's a unique player, one of a contop

0:03:48.320 --> 0:03:50.280
<v Speaker 1>of player. You know, even when we used to go

0:03:50.360 --> 0:03:52.240
<v Speaker 1>up against them at the Raven, it was hard to

0:03:52.760 --> 0:03:55.880
<v Speaker 1>try to, you know, emulate what he does is it's

0:03:55.920 --> 0:03:58.000
<v Speaker 1>hard to do. That's why he's one of the best

0:03:58.080 --> 0:04:00.720
<v Speaker 1>quarterback in this league. But I sleep, you know, we

0:04:00.920 --> 0:04:02.400
<v Speaker 1>it comes down look what I just said. You know,

0:04:02.480 --> 0:04:04.720
<v Speaker 1>we have to once we get our game plan that week,

0:04:05.080 --> 0:04:07.680
<v Speaker 1>do our best to execute that game plan. This is NFL.

0:04:08.120 --> 0:04:10.360
<v Speaker 1>You know, he's an VP quarterback. We know what type

0:04:10.360 --> 0:04:12.200
<v Speaker 1>of plays he can make with his with his feet down,

0:04:12.240 --> 0:04:13.920
<v Speaker 1>with his arms. So at the end of the day,

0:04:13.920 --> 0:04:15.400
<v Speaker 1>you know, we do our best to try to you know,

0:04:15.520 --> 0:04:17.920
<v Speaker 1>shot Through was supposed to plays. Knowing that they're gonna

0:04:17.920 --> 0:04:20.040
<v Speaker 1>be a heavy run team, try to stop the run

0:04:20.080 --> 0:04:22.440
<v Speaker 1>and make them one dimensional, you know, and just get

0:04:22.480 --> 0:04:24.440
<v Speaker 1>everybody to the ball once you get loose. You got

0:04:24.480 --> 0:04:27.120
<v Speaker 1>a milestone coming up. I don't know when we're gonna

0:04:27.120 --> 0:04:29.960
<v Speaker 1>air this podcast, but we're taping here in early June.

0:04:30.560 --> 0:04:32.360
<v Speaker 1>You can be turning thirty. What do you feel about?

0:04:32.400 --> 0:04:36.800
<v Speaker 1>That's like I got a mouthstone. Um, I'm blessed. I'm

0:04:36.800 --> 0:04:39.840
<v Speaker 1>blessed and honor you still be be sitting here. Um,

0:04:39.920 --> 0:04:42.200
<v Speaker 1>still have guys you know looking up to me. Um,

0:04:42.640 --> 0:04:45.120
<v Speaker 1>and you know, for me to still be able to

0:04:45.240 --> 0:04:47.720
<v Speaker 1>grow as a player and as a person. Um, you know,

0:04:47.839 --> 0:04:51.279
<v Speaker 1>I came into this year, um, not not satisfied, you know,

0:04:51.320 --> 0:04:53.840
<v Speaker 1>but what I did personally obviously not satisfied with the

0:04:53.880 --> 0:04:56.920
<v Speaker 1>season that we had, not satisfied with what our defense was.

0:04:57.440 --> 0:05:00.560
<v Speaker 1>And I still feel like I found ways to improve

0:05:00.680 --> 0:05:03.880
<v Speaker 1>myself on what I can when I'm looking at each play, Um,

0:05:04.000 --> 0:05:05.719
<v Speaker 1>how I can prove in this defense? You know what

0:05:05.839 --> 0:05:08.599
<v Speaker 1>I can do to you know, help everybody getting better positions.

0:05:09.000 --> 0:05:11.240
<v Speaker 1>And that's the unique thing about this game. You know,

0:05:11.279 --> 0:05:12.960
<v Speaker 1>the older you get, you know, you think you think

0:05:12.960 --> 0:05:14.520
<v Speaker 1>you know it all, you think you've seen it all,

0:05:14.720 --> 0:05:17.120
<v Speaker 1>but you know, it's always something. This game is always

0:05:17.160 --> 0:05:19.880
<v Speaker 1>always evolving. Um, It's like a game's chess. You know,

0:05:19.960 --> 0:05:22.000
<v Speaker 1>you just gotta the offense is going to do something

0:05:22.279 --> 0:05:23.840
<v Speaker 1>to make the defense have to make up a whole

0:05:23.880 --> 0:05:27.240
<v Speaker 1>new game plan. So each year, Um that the NFL

0:05:27.279 --> 0:05:29.920
<v Speaker 1>you know, goes on each year that that offense get better,

0:05:30.200 --> 0:05:32.320
<v Speaker 1>players get better, you know, the defense has to find

0:05:32.320 --> 0:05:33.960
<v Speaker 1>a way that you know, the counter of those count

0:05:33.960 --> 0:05:37.320
<v Speaker 1>of those offenses and those offensive coaches. And I think

0:05:37.320 --> 0:05:39.520
<v Speaker 1>starting last year already took a lot of pride and

0:05:39.520 --> 0:05:42.200
<v Speaker 1>and really trying to you know, study study the offense

0:05:42.279 --> 0:05:45.520
<v Speaker 1>compared to you know, what the offense coordinator does. So

0:05:45.600 --> 0:05:47.120
<v Speaker 1>when I when I make a player, when we make

0:05:47.160 --> 0:05:48.520
<v Speaker 1>a player, we make a stop. It's not like, no,

0:05:48.640 --> 0:05:51.360
<v Speaker 1>we're not just stopping offense. No, we're stopping offense coordinator too.

0:05:51.440 --> 0:05:53.520
<v Speaker 1>So it's it's it's when you think about like that,

0:05:53.720 --> 0:05:58.000
<v Speaker 1>it gets really fun. How much more advanced mentally are

0:05:58.120 --> 0:06:00.960
<v Speaker 1>you know at this point pared to the guy who

0:06:01.040 --> 0:06:04.960
<v Speaker 1>was drafted by the Ravens. That's um it's night and day. Honestly,

0:06:05.200 --> 0:06:08.880
<v Speaker 1>um are a lot a lot of my um my

0:06:09.000 --> 0:06:12.640
<v Speaker 1>techniques and you know, just just be able to feel,

0:06:12.680 --> 0:06:15.800
<v Speaker 1>feel the ball and see things, but you know, just

0:06:15.839 --> 0:06:18.760
<v Speaker 1>eliminate that that one step, those those two steps that

0:06:18.839 --> 0:06:22.200
<v Speaker 1>back pedal when you take one one, one or two

0:06:22.200 --> 0:06:23.960
<v Speaker 1>more hop that you need to that can put you

0:06:24.000 --> 0:06:26.080
<v Speaker 1>on that break on that interception right there. Man. It's

0:06:26.120 --> 0:06:28.240
<v Speaker 1>it's it's amazing when you can when you really lock

0:06:28.320 --> 0:06:30.600
<v Speaker 1>into like your job and what you have to do.

0:06:30.880 --> 0:06:32.680
<v Speaker 1>And then obviously once you get a feel for the

0:06:32.720 --> 0:06:34.440
<v Speaker 1>defense and you're like know what you're doing, you can

0:06:34.440 --> 0:06:37.680
<v Speaker 1>start looking at you know, pre stout recognitions and looking

0:06:37.720 --> 0:06:39.599
<v Speaker 1>at formation. Is there's just a lot of little things

0:06:39.600 --> 0:06:41.919
<v Speaker 1>that you're gonna lock inside your your game that that

0:06:41.960 --> 0:06:44.440
<v Speaker 1>can put you to that next level. What about instincts?

0:06:44.440 --> 0:06:47.800
<v Speaker 1>So because the book I knew always coming out was

0:06:48.480 --> 0:06:51.560
<v Speaker 1>you were instinctive. But with that being said, you're talking,

0:06:51.600 --> 0:06:55.800
<v Speaker 1>you're talking about not taking a false step here or there.

0:06:55.800 --> 0:06:58.279
<v Speaker 1>How much the instincts play a part in the game.

0:06:59.120 --> 0:07:01.039
<v Speaker 1>I played a lot of part of the game. One.

0:07:01.240 --> 0:07:03.839
<v Speaker 1>You know, you you're talking about, you know, players being

0:07:03.839 --> 0:07:07.280
<v Speaker 1>coached and playing football. You don't wanna you don't want

0:07:07.279 --> 0:07:09.560
<v Speaker 1>to get coached so much where you're not making football players.

0:07:09.600 --> 0:07:12.320
<v Speaker 1>If you know, if you see a running back aligned wide,

0:07:12.640 --> 0:07:15.080
<v Speaker 1>just because of the saying stay, you know inside, you

0:07:15.120 --> 0:07:17.640
<v Speaker 1>know he's about to run out, you want to, you know,

0:07:17.680 --> 0:07:20.400
<v Speaker 1>get a little outside and anticipate what's going on. So

0:07:20.440 --> 0:07:23.840
<v Speaker 1>I think when it comes to studying and and just

0:07:24.040 --> 0:07:25.720
<v Speaker 1>you know, kind of know what's going on, it's the

0:07:25.760 --> 0:07:28.640
<v Speaker 1>anticipation part. You know, if you see something, you see it,

0:07:28.880 --> 0:07:31.040
<v Speaker 1>maybe something you study, you know, maybe something that you

0:07:31.080 --> 0:07:33.360
<v Speaker 1>saw a film from from the player that he might do.

0:07:33.840 --> 0:07:36.040
<v Speaker 1>That's when your your study habits come into play. Like

0:07:36.080 --> 0:07:38.560
<v Speaker 1>all right, extensively, I know it third down to two,

0:07:38.680 --> 0:07:40.640
<v Speaker 1>it's running back might get out. But now that I

0:07:40.680 --> 0:07:43.080
<v Speaker 1>see that he's a little bit cheated outside the tackle.

0:07:43.240 --> 0:07:45.120
<v Speaker 1>Now I can really get out because I know what's coming.

0:07:45.200 --> 0:07:47.280
<v Speaker 1>So just a little things like that can really, you know,

0:07:47.280 --> 0:07:49.560
<v Speaker 1>put you put you on the next level. Was last

0:07:49.640 --> 0:07:53.200
<v Speaker 1>year your best season in the NFL? You're a multi

0:07:53.280 --> 0:07:57.840
<v Speaker 1>time pro bowler, You're a guy who people say throughout

0:07:57.840 --> 0:07:59.880
<v Speaker 1>your career that he's one of the best inside back

0:08:00.080 --> 0:08:02.800
<v Speaker 1>is in the game. With that being said, how do

0:08:02.840 --> 0:08:05.400
<v Speaker 1>you rate last year in terms of individually? I know

0:08:05.520 --> 0:08:09.040
<v Speaker 1>that you didn't have the team success you guys, I

0:08:09.040 --> 0:08:10.960
<v Speaker 1>wouldn't say it was my best year as far as

0:08:10.960 --> 0:08:12.920
<v Speaker 1>status wise. Yeah, you know, I was making a bunch

0:08:12.960 --> 0:08:15.880
<v Speaker 1>of tackles, but that can be good and bad. A

0:08:15.880 --> 0:08:17.240
<v Speaker 1>lot of tackles that mean you might be on the

0:08:17.280 --> 0:08:19.320
<v Speaker 1>field a lot, you know something else. There's a lot

0:08:19.360 --> 0:08:20.960
<v Speaker 1>of things that're going with making a lot of tackles.

0:08:20.960 --> 0:08:23.400
<v Speaker 1>So I don't really know rpe my seasons based on

0:08:23.440 --> 0:08:27.240
<v Speaker 1>tackles I've I've made. Um. I really I really think

0:08:27.360 --> 0:08:29.520
<v Speaker 1>far as last year is my best far as being

0:08:29.560 --> 0:08:33.000
<v Speaker 1>mentally prepared each game, UM, knowing knowing what the offense

0:08:33.120 --> 0:08:36.920
<v Speaker 1>is doing, knowing what to expect, all the certain formations, UM,

0:08:36.480 --> 0:08:40.839
<v Speaker 1>you know, reading round formations, seeing routes, formations, just this

0:08:41.000 --> 0:08:42.760
<v Speaker 1>little stuff like that. It sounds like a lot, but

0:08:42.760 --> 0:08:45.280
<v Speaker 1>when you break it down like each day and you know,

0:08:45.400 --> 0:08:47.360
<v Speaker 1>go about it won't play at the time. It really

0:08:47.440 --> 0:08:49.080
<v Speaker 1>it really slowed the game down for it. So I

0:08:49.120 --> 0:08:52.080
<v Speaker 1>think last year is probably my best like mentally locked in,

0:08:52.160 --> 0:08:56.760
<v Speaker 1>I've been. But what's your next step? What's even another

0:08:56.920 --> 0:08:59.720
<v Speaker 1>level that C. J. Mosley can go to at age thirty?

0:09:00.320 --> 0:09:02.560
<v Speaker 1>Bring everybody with me? Now, that's what That's what it's

0:09:02.559 --> 0:09:04.960
<v Speaker 1>been all about, you know, getting getting the right guys

0:09:05.000 --> 0:09:07.200
<v Speaker 1>in the building, no in the locker room, outside the

0:09:07.200 --> 0:09:10.079
<v Speaker 1>locker room, to really believe that we can do something

0:09:10.120 --> 0:09:12.840
<v Speaker 1>special here. And I think that I'm really no, I

0:09:12.840 --> 0:09:14.959
<v Speaker 1>don't think I know, and I believe that that has

0:09:15.000 --> 0:09:17.800
<v Speaker 1>what that has what that we've been doing. And and

0:09:17.800 --> 0:09:19.280
<v Speaker 1>the people that we brought in as far as the

0:09:19.320 --> 0:09:21.840
<v Speaker 1>free agency, UM, the rookie class that it came in,

0:09:21.920 --> 0:09:24.360
<v Speaker 1>they've been great, They've been working hard, UM. And I

0:09:24.400 --> 0:09:26.920
<v Speaker 1>feel that if we know just stick to what we

0:09:27.000 --> 0:09:29.000
<v Speaker 1>what we know, stick to the things that we've been taught,

0:09:29.600 --> 0:09:32.360
<v Speaker 1>really believe in each other, really working and really trust

0:09:32.400 --> 0:09:34.920
<v Speaker 1>that we can be special and there's no there's no

0:09:34.960 --> 0:09:36.840
<v Speaker 1>doubt my mim that that's what we will be. We've

0:09:36.840 --> 0:09:41.240
<v Speaker 1>talked about it before that there's no I don't think

0:09:41.240 --> 0:09:46.600
<v Speaker 1>there's any greater UM award than your peers saying that

0:09:46.840 --> 0:09:49.319
<v Speaker 1>you're the guy. Last year you were voted team m

0:09:49.400 --> 0:09:52.640
<v Speaker 1>v P and you said that you wanted to take

0:09:52.679 --> 0:09:55.120
<v Speaker 1>yourself to a different level in terms of leadership. What

0:09:55.200 --> 0:09:57.000
<v Speaker 1>did you do last year? What do you want to

0:09:57.000 --> 0:10:00.280
<v Speaker 1>do this year? Honestly, last year for me it was

0:10:00.960 --> 0:10:03.280
<v Speaker 1>I woulda say more of a proven ground, but you know,

0:10:03.400 --> 0:10:05.560
<v Speaker 1>I've been haven't played in two years, so I was

0:10:05.640 --> 0:10:08.480
<v Speaker 1>I was really focused on, you know, me doing my job,

0:10:08.720 --> 0:10:11.440
<v Speaker 1>me doing the right thing every day, you me coming

0:10:11.440 --> 0:10:14.080
<v Speaker 1>to work and providing the guys with the right mentality,

0:10:14.160 --> 0:10:17.080
<v Speaker 1>right attitude, you know, making have trying to have my

0:10:17.160 --> 0:10:20.920
<v Speaker 1>best game speech for Sunday. Uh so um, there's a

0:10:20.960 --> 0:10:22.679
<v Speaker 1>lot of a lot of means and as you can see,

0:10:22.880 --> 0:10:24.680
<v Speaker 1>I didn't. I'm not a selfish player. I don't play

0:10:24.720 --> 0:10:26.280
<v Speaker 1>that way. But it was a lot of stuff that

0:10:26.320 --> 0:10:28.720
<v Speaker 1>I was making sure that I was doing right. So

0:10:28.760 --> 0:10:31.600
<v Speaker 1>now now that I know I'm good, it's now it's

0:10:31.679 --> 0:10:33.599
<v Speaker 1>time when you when you when you talk to the

0:10:33.679 --> 0:10:35.960
<v Speaker 1>d line. When you see something you're yell at out,

0:10:36.000 --> 0:10:39.280
<v Speaker 1>so um, make it. Make a long story short. That's

0:10:39.360 --> 0:10:42.480
<v Speaker 1>really been more vocal, even even though its vocals. I am.

0:10:42.640 --> 0:10:46.880
<v Speaker 1>That's becoming more vocal, becoming more uncomfortable, becoming more comfortable

0:10:46.880 --> 0:10:49.160
<v Speaker 1>being in the uncomfortable situations. Was in the in the

0:10:49.200 --> 0:10:52.160
<v Speaker 1>team room, whether we're meeting, you know, whether be practicing

0:10:52.160 --> 0:10:54.880
<v Speaker 1>and talking on the sidelogists, any just any little knowledge

0:10:54.920 --> 0:10:56.560
<v Speaker 1>that that passed in my head, you know, me trying

0:10:56.559 --> 0:10:59.160
<v Speaker 1>to share with somebody that's interesting me. He talked about

0:11:00.360 --> 0:11:03.400
<v Speaker 1>communicating the guys before a game. What you were gonna say?

0:11:03.840 --> 0:11:05.960
<v Speaker 1>What what goes into that? Is that like a Saturday

0:11:06.080 --> 0:11:09.160
<v Speaker 1>night thing? Um, it's it's an all weak thing. It was.

0:11:09.240 --> 0:11:11.560
<v Speaker 1>It was my first time, you know, really you know,

0:11:12.080 --> 0:11:14.240
<v Speaker 1>getting the huddle in for every single game. You know,

0:11:14.840 --> 0:11:16.679
<v Speaker 1>I took over the first game. I was like, all right,

0:11:16.720 --> 0:11:18.800
<v Speaker 1>you know I got the first one, and it just

0:11:18.840 --> 0:11:20.959
<v Speaker 1>happened to be me every single week. So I have

0:11:21.080 --> 0:11:22.960
<v Speaker 1>to make sure I have to make sure I have

0:11:23.040 --> 0:11:25.160
<v Speaker 1>something good, you know, to keep the guys going. And

0:11:26.080 --> 0:11:28.320
<v Speaker 1>you know, you you think it's easy, but you know

0:11:28.360 --> 0:11:31.040
<v Speaker 1>when you're when that thing's not going well, when you're hurting,

0:11:31.640 --> 0:11:35.480
<v Speaker 1>you're losing, you know, you're traveling. All these two different

0:11:35.480 --> 0:11:38.800
<v Speaker 1>things play a part. And you know, and yourself and

0:11:38.880 --> 0:11:41.800
<v Speaker 1>you know, try to keep yourself mentally focused. But it's

0:11:41.800 --> 0:11:43.959
<v Speaker 1>not about you. You know, um as long as you

0:11:44.160 --> 0:11:46.040
<v Speaker 1>I know that in the day, I'm doing my job,

0:11:46.120 --> 0:11:48.199
<v Speaker 1>so I'm not I'm not ever like worried about you

0:11:48.520 --> 0:11:50.600
<v Speaker 1>be having a bad game. So I want to make

0:11:50.640 --> 0:11:54.120
<v Speaker 1>sure that I'm saying the right things my body, languages rights,

0:11:54.160 --> 0:11:56.320
<v Speaker 1>for my teammates, and for my culture. So anything that

0:11:56.360 --> 0:11:58.480
<v Speaker 1>I say is coming straight from the herd in front

0:11:58.520 --> 0:12:01.720
<v Speaker 1>of mine. Like, uh, when we went to play, when

0:12:01.720 --> 0:12:04.520
<v Speaker 1>we played the Bills in the last game, everybody knew

0:12:04.520 --> 0:12:07.280
<v Speaker 1>it was gonna be freezing. So I started I started

0:12:07.280 --> 0:12:09.320
<v Speaker 1>watching Gladiator because we have the night game. So I

0:12:09.320 --> 0:12:11.360
<v Speaker 1>need something. I need something kind. I'm not about to

0:12:11.360 --> 0:12:14.200
<v Speaker 1>wear any sleeves. It's gonna be cold. It's a last game.

0:12:14.600 --> 0:12:16.880
<v Speaker 1>I need to get my mom right. So I'm watching Gladiator,

0:12:16.960 --> 0:12:18.920
<v Speaker 1>you know, kind of here, a little close here and there,

0:12:18.920 --> 0:12:21.640
<v Speaker 1>like okay that that sounds good at guysbody like that.

0:12:21.760 --> 0:12:24.600
<v Speaker 1>So just a small example was something like possing my head.

0:12:24.640 --> 0:12:27.080
<v Speaker 1>I'll see a quote are here. Quote, I'll drive it

0:12:27.120 --> 0:12:29.160

<v Speaker 1>a gambling problem called one seven or seven one one seven.

0:13:04.080 --> 0:13:06.960
<v Speaker 1>Speaking of glad Itator, do you like the way you

0:13:07.000 --> 0:13:09.960
<v Speaker 1>guys went out last year in that game against the

0:13:09.960 --> 0:13:13.560
<v Speaker 1>Buffalo Bills because that was a roster depleted you were,

0:13:13.679 --> 0:13:15.760
<v Speaker 1>especially on the offensive side of the ball. You guys

0:13:15.760 --> 0:13:18.839
<v Speaker 1>were dealing with like six seventh eighth receivers, that kind

0:13:18.840 --> 0:13:22.600
<v Speaker 1>of thing, injuries across the board, and you gave yourself

0:13:22.760 --> 0:13:26.120
<v Speaker 1>a chance to win defensibly. Yeah, honestly, I felt that

0:13:26.200 --> 0:13:28.480
<v Speaker 1>was probably our best defensive game that we had as

0:13:28.480 --> 0:13:31.200
<v Speaker 1>far as just guy has been on the same page,

0:13:31.320 --> 0:13:33.800
<v Speaker 1>especially man Quincy. You know, he had his hands on

0:13:34.280 --> 0:13:36.880
<v Speaker 1>I think to football. So we always joke about him

0:13:36.920 --> 0:13:38.600
<v Speaker 1>when he dropped past out there like all you know

0:13:38.600 --> 0:13:40.840
<v Speaker 1>what they looked like you dropped the dropping in practice

0:13:40.920 --> 0:13:44.280
<v Speaker 1>dropping in the game. So but honestly, it kind of

0:13:44.360 --> 0:13:46.280
<v Speaker 1>it kind of clicked at the last minute. I mean,

0:13:46.559 --> 0:13:48.480
<v Speaker 1>we saw the same stuff, but you know, some reason

0:13:48.679 --> 0:13:50.440
<v Speaker 1>things just started to cliff and you started to get

0:13:50.440 --> 0:13:53.160
<v Speaker 1>it at that process. But you know, we really felt comfortable.

0:13:53.200 --> 0:13:55.960
<v Speaker 1>We felt inside ourselves, we felt comfortable with the game plan.

0:13:56.360 --> 0:13:58.079
<v Speaker 1>So that's all. That's that's all. We've been trying to

0:13:58.120 --> 0:14:00.319
<v Speaker 1>do this all these you know, really really honed in

0:14:00.440 --> 0:14:01.760
<v Speaker 1>or what we want to what we want to be,

0:14:01.840 --> 0:14:03.720
<v Speaker 1>how you want to look, and what kind of misset

0:14:03.720 --> 0:14:05.640
<v Speaker 1>we want to bring to the table every day. Quincy

0:14:05.679 --> 0:14:08.640
<v Speaker 1>said this year it's imperative for him not to just

0:14:08.760 --> 0:14:10.880
<v Speaker 1>be looking for the big hit that he's got to

0:14:10.920 --> 0:14:13.120
<v Speaker 1>start coming up with takeaways. Is that something that you

0:14:13.120 --> 0:14:15.719
<v Speaker 1>guys talked about. Yeah, that's that's one thing that we

0:14:15.760 --> 0:14:18.280
<v Speaker 1>that we talked about Lott in this offseason. Um, let's

0:14:18.320 --> 0:14:22.360
<v Speaker 1>communicate more, talking more building our relationship obviously, you know,

0:14:22.520 --> 0:14:24.600
<v Speaker 1>off one year is it can only go so far.

0:14:24.720 --> 0:14:27.880
<v Speaker 1>So just been just be being in the system twice

0:14:28.080 --> 0:14:31.040
<v Speaker 1>UM with him, Uh, we started to know each other tennessees.

0:14:31.120 --> 0:14:34.480
<v Speaker 1>Um we saw the I would say, react, react better

0:14:34.520 --> 0:14:39.120
<v Speaker 1>off each other without without um extra movement. One thing

0:14:39.160 --> 0:14:41.760
<v Speaker 1>I talked to him about was, you know, his his

0:14:41.880 --> 0:14:44.600
<v Speaker 1>film study. You know, just being a young a younger linebacker,

0:14:44.680 --> 0:14:47.560
<v Speaker 1>young player, it's not that you don't want to watch film.

0:14:47.640 --> 0:14:49.400
<v Speaker 1>Sometimes you don't know what to look for, so that

0:14:49.480 --> 0:14:52.920
<v Speaker 1>might you know, that might discourage you. So I told him, like,

0:14:52.960 --> 0:14:55.400
<v Speaker 1>if there anything that you want to want to look

0:14:55.440 --> 0:14:58.240
<v Speaker 1>at together, watch you with you know. Obviously we we

0:14:58.320 --> 0:15:00.760
<v Speaker 1>got it. But you know, honestly, I I've seen him

0:15:00.960 --> 0:15:03.120
<v Speaker 1>be a lot more vocan he was last year. And

0:15:03.360 --> 0:15:05.040
<v Speaker 1>like I said, that's comfortable with him being in the

0:15:05.040 --> 0:15:07.520
<v Speaker 1>system of year. So he's a little more comfortable, UM

0:15:07.520 --> 0:15:10.800
<v Speaker 1>talking to talking to the rooks, taking them on his wing,

0:15:11.480 --> 0:15:13.840
<v Speaker 1>whether it's you know, being out you know, going to

0:15:13.880 --> 0:15:16.680
<v Speaker 1>eat with the young guys or being in the practice field,

0:15:16.680 --> 0:15:19.040
<v Speaker 1>like coaching them up and and telling them what to do.

0:15:19.120 --> 0:15:22.080
<v Speaker 1>So just saying saying that part of his game is

0:15:22.080 --> 0:15:24.080
<v Speaker 1>is a positive because that's all that's gonna do is

0:15:24.120 --> 0:15:25.520
<v Speaker 1>relate to when we get on the field, when we

0:15:25.560 --> 0:15:27.680
<v Speaker 1>get into action. You know, he's going to be more vocal.

0:15:27.720 --> 0:15:31.240
<v Speaker 1>He won't be uncomfortable talking a situation because when it

0:15:31.360 --> 0:15:33.680
<v Speaker 1>when it gets long, ten eleven, twelve drives and I

0:15:34.000 --> 0:15:35.960
<v Speaker 1>still got to make the call and be a little tired.

0:15:36.000 --> 0:15:38.200
<v Speaker 1>So that's why I need my partner in crime, you know,

0:15:38.280 --> 0:15:41.000
<v Speaker 1>help help signal the call or or give a call

0:15:41.040 --> 0:15:43.320
<v Speaker 1>a couple of the players. So it's gonna it's gonna

0:15:43.320 --> 0:15:46.160
<v Speaker 1>be a great and fun year for him, your partner crime.

0:15:46.680 --> 0:15:50.320
<v Speaker 1>Are you surprised that a guy like Quincy Williams is

0:15:50.920 --> 0:15:54.040
<v Speaker 1>on the waiver wire or that's just life in the

0:15:54.120 --> 0:15:57.600
<v Speaker 1>National Football League. Sometimes it just doesn't work somewhere else

0:15:57.640 --> 0:16:00.840
<v Speaker 1>and you find a place where you're gonna be able

0:16:00.880 --> 0:16:03.440
<v Speaker 1>to take advantage of count That's just life in NFL.

0:16:03.600 --> 0:16:06.480
<v Speaker 1>That's that's how things work. One thing that you that

0:16:06.600 --> 0:16:09.200
<v Speaker 1>you can't control is the car that you've been dealt

0:16:09.200 --> 0:16:11.080
<v Speaker 1>once you get once you get into this league. But

0:16:11.240 --> 0:16:15.160
<v Speaker 1>you can't control you know, your work ethic. Um, how

0:16:15.240 --> 0:16:17.440
<v Speaker 1>you how you approach your your day every day, how

0:16:17.480 --> 0:16:20.400
<v Speaker 1>you attack the day. Your mam said, your attitude now

0:16:20.440 --> 0:16:22.440
<v Speaker 1>all that plays a part now no matter what of

0:16:22.560 --> 0:16:24.240
<v Speaker 1>you are, because at the end of the day, if

0:16:24.280 --> 0:16:25.880
<v Speaker 1>you are work in the next man, if you're doing

0:16:25.920 --> 0:16:28.280
<v Speaker 1>things the right way, you know you're gonna find yourself.

0:16:28.880 --> 0:16:31.800
<v Speaker 1>Like they said dressing on Sunday. Michael Carter was in

0:16:31.840 --> 0:16:35.160
<v Speaker 1>this very studio a couple of weeks ago, and he

0:16:35.240 --> 0:16:39.640
<v Speaker 1>said that I watched c. J. Mosley everything he does,

0:16:39.800 --> 0:16:42.720
<v Speaker 1>any matches, George Fan as well, and then uh Tevin

0:16:42.760 --> 0:16:46.120
<v Speaker 1>Coleman as far as that running backs group. But what

0:16:46.200 --> 0:16:49.040
<v Speaker 1>does that mean to you that Carter is a running back?

0:16:49.360 --> 0:16:52.280
<v Speaker 1>He says that he looks up to Mosley, he calls

0:16:52.320 --> 0:16:55.000
<v Speaker 1>you know, g and says, this is the way you're

0:16:55.000 --> 0:16:58.600
<v Speaker 1>supposed to approach the game. Um, well, that's that's one

0:16:58.640 --> 0:17:02.320
<v Speaker 1>thing about the milestone about turning thirty. You you see

0:17:02.360 --> 0:17:04.480
<v Speaker 1>the cycle of life change in front of you. Oyes

0:17:04.480 --> 0:17:09.520
<v Speaker 1>in the NFL. You know, even another another side story,

0:17:09.880 --> 0:17:18.880
<v Speaker 1>Um wild wild goose is is. Um It's Doomerville. Doomerville's nephew.

0:17:20.080 --> 0:17:23.439
<v Speaker 1>I think, nephew, uncle, nephew. I think. So I played

0:17:23.640 --> 0:17:26.679
<v Speaker 1>with his uncle, and yeah, I play. I played with

0:17:26.760 --> 0:17:31.160
<v Speaker 1>him at Baltimore fourteen fourteen fifteen, and now I'm playing

0:17:31.200 --> 0:17:33.320
<v Speaker 1>with his nephews. So you're saying like, yeah, and I

0:17:33.400 --> 0:17:34.840
<v Speaker 1>used to watch you when he was at Alabama. I

0:17:34.880 --> 0:17:37.880
<v Speaker 1>was in middle school. I was like middle school. What

0:17:38.400 --> 0:17:41.040
<v Speaker 1>so that that really every time I hear something like that,

0:17:41.320 --> 0:17:44.160
<v Speaker 1>that put it, put put some perspective, like you know this,

0:17:44.160 --> 0:17:45.840
<v Speaker 1>this is pretty cool. Like a lot of a lot

0:17:45.880 --> 0:17:49.359
<v Speaker 1>of players, no bust their bus and give it the

0:17:49.480 --> 0:17:51.639
<v Speaker 1>all for you know, for a few years. You know,

0:17:51.760 --> 0:17:54.520
<v Speaker 1>unfortunately they get cut short of injuries or something happens.

0:17:54.560 --> 0:17:57.800
<v Speaker 1>And a lot of guys don't see see that all

0:17:57.840 --> 0:17:59.640
<v Speaker 1>the all the time that they spent being a young

0:17:59.680 --> 0:18:01.760
<v Speaker 1>guys and the vets and the old heads and the

0:18:02.200 --> 0:18:04.840
<v Speaker 1>you know, the older coaches that looked out for them,

0:18:04.880 --> 0:18:06.840
<v Speaker 1>that helped them out, that try to do the right

0:18:06.880 --> 0:18:09.639
<v Speaker 1>things for them, um and kind of how that molded

0:18:09.680 --> 0:18:11.960
<v Speaker 1>them into the player that they are now. And you

0:18:12.000 --> 0:18:14.080
<v Speaker 1>know vice verse of me and now I get the

0:18:14.800 --> 0:18:17.320
<v Speaker 1>you know, just you know, sprinkle all that right, back

0:18:17.320 --> 0:18:19.600
<v Speaker 1>out the same lessons that I was taught, the same

0:18:19.680 --> 0:18:21.560
<v Speaker 1>things that I used to hear, the same quotes that

0:18:21.560 --> 0:18:24.040
<v Speaker 1>I used to hear. Now I still find myself quoting

0:18:24.720 --> 0:18:28.560
<v Speaker 1>Terrell Slugs. Yeah. So um, it's it's pretty amazing, honestly,

0:18:28.560 --> 0:18:30.159
<v Speaker 1>And like I said, and it's a blessing that I

0:18:30.200 --> 0:18:32.919
<v Speaker 1>can I can still be here and provide that insight,

0:18:33.000 --> 0:18:36.399
<v Speaker 1>provide you know, that mindset, um, the win mentality, or

0:18:36.440 --> 0:18:38.480
<v Speaker 1>you know, whatever whatever word you want to think of. Like,

0:18:38.520 --> 0:18:41.680
<v Speaker 1>I feel like I can be that person um mentally

0:18:41.800 --> 0:18:43.840
<v Speaker 1>and obviously if it's go on the field, that can

0:18:44.160 --> 0:18:46.680
<v Speaker 1>help bring bring players and team closer because I've I've

0:18:46.720 --> 0:18:48.719
<v Speaker 1>been in a lot of situations. I've seen a lot

0:18:48.760 --> 0:18:51.520
<v Speaker 1>of football, and I've been honored to be around a

0:18:51.560 --> 0:18:55.119
<v Speaker 1>lot of smart coaches and systems. You gotta endure a

0:18:55.160 --> 0:18:58.200
<v Speaker 1>lot physically to play linebacker in the National Football League.

0:18:58.200 --> 0:19:00.280
<v Speaker 1>And we come back to your age and say, Okay,

0:19:00.280 --> 0:19:04.119
<v Speaker 1>he's thirty years old, but is age changing across the

0:19:04.160 --> 0:19:07.080
<v Speaker 1>board professional sports? Meaning you look at a guy like

0:19:07.119 --> 0:19:10.480
<v Speaker 1>Steph Curry. I remember coming out of the draft and

0:19:10.520 --> 0:19:12.120
<v Speaker 1>I still think of him as a young guy. He's

0:19:12.119 --> 0:19:14.880
<v Speaker 1>gonna be thirty four years old. You look at Lebron James,

0:19:15.200 --> 0:19:18.359
<v Speaker 1>he's pushing forty. You're talking about Tom Brady throw A

0:19:18.440 --> 0:19:21.520
<v Speaker 1>plays totally different position than you. But guys playing at forty.

0:19:22.560 --> 0:19:26.680
<v Speaker 1>Does that speak to how well conditioned guys are now?

0:19:26.720 --> 0:19:31.160
<v Speaker 1>But also the mental preparation and just people know what

0:19:31.240 --> 0:19:33.600
<v Speaker 1>to put in their bodies and they also know how

0:19:33.640 --> 0:19:36.359
<v Speaker 1>to study a lot better than maybe that we saw

0:19:36.400 --> 0:19:39.480
<v Speaker 1>on past generations. Yeah, it's it's a collection of all

0:19:39.520 --> 0:19:41.679
<v Speaker 1>of that. And I'll also add that, you know, I

0:19:41.680 --> 0:19:43.439
<v Speaker 1>think it's a lot to do with you know, how

0:19:43.480 --> 0:19:46.040
<v Speaker 1>the game has changed, it evolved as far as you know,

0:19:46.760 --> 0:19:49.480
<v Speaker 1>the way players are being practiced, and you know how

0:19:49.560 --> 0:19:51.840
<v Speaker 1>much time it's been on the field, what we're doing

0:19:51.880 --> 0:19:54.560
<v Speaker 1>with our bodies. Um, it's a lot more, a lot

0:19:54.600 --> 0:19:56.560
<v Speaker 1>more physical, even when I was a rookie, you know,

0:19:57.320 --> 0:20:00.440
<v Speaker 1>especially before I was in the league. Farther they that's

0:20:00.480 --> 0:20:03.359
<v Speaker 1>going on off season programs and all that. So just

0:20:03.480 --> 0:20:06.119
<v Speaker 1>the rule change and just how things have changed and

0:20:06.160 --> 0:20:09.040
<v Speaker 1>evolved in the league and around all sports. Um, it's more,

0:20:09.200 --> 0:20:11.600
<v Speaker 1>it's more player friendly, and it's and it gives player

0:20:11.640 --> 0:20:14.320
<v Speaker 1>a longer time to play the league, give that player

0:20:14.359 --> 0:20:17.479
<v Speaker 1>that longevity. So UM, I will definitely agree that it's collected.

0:20:17.480 --> 0:20:19.639
<v Speaker 1>It's a collection of all those things. Who are guys,

0:20:19.640 --> 0:20:23.639
<v Speaker 1>do you like watching just far as in general or yeah,

0:20:23.800 --> 0:20:27.400
<v Speaker 1>as far as for as the NFL, maybe you appreciate

0:20:27.440 --> 0:20:30.439
<v Speaker 1>the linebacker position or you mentioned Suckers before he was

0:20:30.440 --> 0:20:34.520
<v Speaker 1>a former teammate, and maybe the funder who is retired now.

0:20:35.600 --> 0:20:39.760
<v Speaker 1>I like watching Edwards for for the Bills, um who

0:20:39.760 --> 0:20:44.880
<v Speaker 1>else it's another linebacker Davis with the Buccaneers. I try

0:20:44.920 --> 0:20:47.280
<v Speaker 1>to also try to watch linebackers that are kind of

0:20:47.320 --> 0:20:49.440
<v Speaker 1>in our system because then I can talk they're playing

0:20:49.480 --> 0:20:51.800
<v Speaker 1>somebody that that we're playing. I can kind of see

0:20:51.800 --> 0:20:54.560
<v Speaker 1>what what they what they're seeing or seeing what kind

0:20:54.560 --> 0:20:57.160
<v Speaker 1>of move with techniques that they're they're doing to try

0:20:57.200 --> 0:20:59.840
<v Speaker 1>to put me in the better position. So that's another

0:20:59.880 --> 0:21:02.600
<v Speaker 1>thing that you know that I that I started last year.

0:21:03.119 --> 0:21:05.800
<v Speaker 1>I never really watched film on other linebacker as far

0:21:05.840 --> 0:21:07.600
<v Speaker 1>as to study like what are they saying? What are

0:21:07.600 --> 0:21:10.280
<v Speaker 1>they doing? If I was seeing them, it was just

0:21:10.280 --> 0:21:12.960
<v Speaker 1>because I was watching film on the offense. But um,

0:21:13.160 --> 0:21:15.719
<v Speaker 1>like I said, it's always it's always one little thing

0:21:15.800 --> 0:21:17.600
<v Speaker 1>where you can find to try to get better. So

0:21:18.400 --> 0:21:20.880
<v Speaker 1>but but yeah, that's that was That was actually really

0:21:20.880 --> 0:21:24.639
<v Speaker 1>cool because I definitely stole some tackles awesome other linebacker's reads.

0:21:24.680 --> 0:21:28.520
<v Speaker 1>So yeah, but that was pretty awesome. Okay, so you

0:21:28.720 --> 0:21:32.119
<v Speaker 1>mentioned it before you talked about Hey, I know everybody's

0:21:32.119 --> 0:21:36.680
<v Speaker 1>saying we got improved talent, but I know we actually

0:21:36.680 --> 0:21:40.040
<v Speaker 1>have to go out there and make it happen. Is

0:21:40.080 --> 0:21:42.480
<v Speaker 1>that something that you have to tell the guys in

0:21:42.520 --> 0:21:45.680
<v Speaker 1>the locker room. I don't think there's people are going

0:21:45.720 --> 0:21:48.160
<v Speaker 1>around the facility celebrating him right now, but with that

0:21:48.200 --> 0:21:51.640
<v Speaker 1>being said, they are hearing that you guys have found

0:21:51.640 --> 0:21:55.800
<v Speaker 1>a good off season. I don't think so. Um, you know,

0:21:56.119 --> 0:21:57.919
<v Speaker 1>I think we do a good job of, you know,

0:21:58.040 --> 0:22:00.240
<v Speaker 1>not real list to the outside noise because at the

0:22:00.280 --> 0:22:02.280
<v Speaker 1>end of the day, we haven't won anything, we haven't

0:22:02.320 --> 0:22:06.280
<v Speaker 1>done anything. Um, we definitely gotten better on paper, but

0:22:06.359 --> 0:22:08.239
<v Speaker 1>that's not gonna be anything until we know put our

0:22:08.240 --> 0:22:10.159
<v Speaker 1>paths on and really get to work and see what

0:22:10.200 --> 0:22:12.200
<v Speaker 1>we can do when when the when a lot of

0:22:12.240 --> 0:22:14.960
<v Speaker 1>bullets get flying. So, um, you know you hear the

0:22:15.200 --> 0:22:16.960
<v Speaker 1>you hear a good draft every year you're here, and

0:22:17.000 --> 0:22:19.160
<v Speaker 1>it's our season every year no matter where you are.

0:22:19.520 --> 0:22:21.960
<v Speaker 1>Everybody wants to win. We want to win. They want

0:22:21.960 --> 0:22:24.440
<v Speaker 1>to win. We all want to win. But you know,

0:22:24.520 --> 0:22:27.439
<v Speaker 1>we're gonna come down to those key moments this season

0:22:27.560 --> 0:22:29.280
<v Speaker 1>and we never know. We're not gonna know when that's

0:22:29.280 --> 0:22:31.879
<v Speaker 1>gonna happen, but we but we have to be ready

0:22:31.920 --> 0:22:33.760
<v Speaker 1>for it. And that's you know, that's why we practice

0:22:33.800 --> 0:22:36.159
<v Speaker 1>that while we're prepared for for situations so we can

0:22:36.200 --> 0:22:38.280
<v Speaker 1>be ready for it. What puts you over the top

0:22:38.359 --> 0:22:42.120
<v Speaker 1>in key moments? What separates the teams that are gonna

0:22:42.160 --> 0:22:45.480
<v Speaker 1>win double digit games from the teams that are struggling

0:22:45.480 --> 0:22:47.880
<v Speaker 1>to get there? Ye, well, one is is a turnover Martin.

0:22:47.920 --> 0:22:49.320
<v Speaker 1>That's the first thing you always here. You know who

0:22:49.359 --> 0:22:52.600
<v Speaker 1>could win a turnover bottom battle? And I think to

0:22:52.960 --> 0:22:56.359
<v Speaker 1>for for us as a team, it's just being the

0:22:56.359 --> 0:22:58.680
<v Speaker 1>best is we can be that situational football, whether it's

0:22:58.680 --> 0:23:02.760
<v Speaker 1>two minute, four minute um, you know, starting drive, backed up,

0:23:02.920 --> 0:23:05.120
<v Speaker 1>you know all the little things that plays the part

0:23:05.200 --> 0:23:08.280
<v Speaker 1>and you know, successfully winning the game. And I think

0:23:08.359 --> 0:23:11.000
<v Speaker 1>if we can know we're gonna win most of our

0:23:11.040 --> 0:23:13.880
<v Speaker 1>games is when when we know play a great situation

0:23:13.920 --> 0:23:17.080
<v Speaker 1>football and control to turnover margin. What do you like

0:23:17.280 --> 0:23:20.239
<v Speaker 1>most in terms of what you're seeing out here on

0:23:20.280 --> 0:23:24.040
<v Speaker 1>the practice field, we're in voluntary activities right now. This

0:23:24.119 --> 0:23:28.640
<v Speaker 1>is phase three, but you're ending the off season by

0:23:28.680 --> 0:23:31.720
<v Speaker 1>all accounts, I mean, for all purposes next week with

0:23:31.800 --> 0:23:35.440
<v Speaker 1>the veteran minicamp. UM. The thing I like the most

0:23:35.560 --> 0:23:38.280
<v Speaker 1>that I've that I've been saying is be a little

0:23:38.320 --> 0:23:41.560
<v Speaker 1>biased just just our defense. You know, the speed that

0:23:41.640 --> 0:23:45.159
<v Speaker 1>we have. Obviously we're young, but our secondary is is

0:23:45.240 --> 0:23:49.000
<v Speaker 1>just it's really just just flying to the ball. UM.

0:23:49.200 --> 0:23:51.360
<v Speaker 1>Seeing a lot of turnoff, a lot of interceptions UM.

0:23:51.520 --> 0:23:54.200
<v Speaker 1>In these ot A practices, Like I said, it's most

0:23:54.240 --> 0:23:56.800
<v Speaker 1>have been like seven on seven. So there's only so

0:23:56.880 --> 0:23:59.320
<v Speaker 1>much that we can do. But but we haven't seen

0:23:59.359 --> 0:24:01.639
<v Speaker 1>that a lot. Know, you can see those playmakers and

0:24:02.400 --> 0:24:04.639
<v Speaker 1>you can't you can't tell a playmaker what to do.

0:24:04.680 --> 0:24:06.240
<v Speaker 1>They're gonna find a way to find the ball. And

0:24:06.240 --> 0:24:08.720
<v Speaker 1>that's that's all you need, is that one chance. UM.

0:24:08.800 --> 0:24:11.199
<v Speaker 1>So we can get a lot more interception, a lot

0:24:11.280 --> 0:24:13.720
<v Speaker 1>more FuMB recovers on defense, you know, puts back in

0:24:13.760 --> 0:24:15.600
<v Speaker 1>the offense in great position to score. Then we can

0:24:15.680 --> 0:24:17.080
<v Speaker 1>know we're really gonna have a chance to do some

0:24:17.160 --> 0:24:19.840
<v Speaker 1>great things. So but that's that's one of the one

0:24:19.840 --> 0:24:21.760
<v Speaker 1>of the main things that you can definitely notice if

0:24:21.760 --> 0:24:24.199
<v Speaker 1>you go out there that that secondary is really flying around,

0:24:24.640 --> 0:24:27.120
<v Speaker 1>and um, a mod, a mod is doing really good.

0:24:27.920 --> 0:24:30.359
<v Speaker 1>You're smiling, you're saying the mod is doing really good.

0:24:30.400 --> 0:24:35.760
<v Speaker 1>So break it down for us. Why are you so encouraged?

0:24:35.920 --> 0:24:37.639
<v Speaker 1>I mean, it was a number four overall pick in

0:24:37.640 --> 0:24:40.520
<v Speaker 1>the draft. So I was laughing because his name is

0:24:40.560 --> 0:24:44.280
<v Speaker 1>the mob. Were not call them solves once you make

0:24:44.320 --> 0:24:46.239
<v Speaker 1>a play. Maybe in the preseason we might, we might

0:24:46.240 --> 0:24:49.800
<v Speaker 1>get them sauce back sauce sauces for the fans. But

0:24:50.200 --> 0:24:52.680
<v Speaker 1>what do you like about him on the Breaka field

0:24:53.680 --> 0:24:57.000
<v Speaker 1>right now? Just so just pure raw talent um. You know,

0:24:57.040 --> 0:24:59.360
<v Speaker 1>obviously he's getting this coaching down and he learned the techniques,

0:24:59.720 --> 0:25:01.720
<v Speaker 1>but you can it's sometimes when you see it, you

0:25:01.760 --> 0:25:04.359
<v Speaker 1>see it. And and today was one of other days.

0:25:04.400 --> 0:25:06.520
<v Speaker 1>It was like, all right, we we're good. We're in

0:25:06.560 --> 0:25:09.040
<v Speaker 1>good hands. So he was he was making plays. They

0:25:09.119 --> 0:25:10.639
<v Speaker 1>was throwing the ball to him, but he was. He

0:25:10.680 --> 0:25:12.879
<v Speaker 1>was making plays what you're supposed to do. But but

0:25:12.960 --> 0:25:15.000
<v Speaker 1>like I said, man, it's it's it's just exciting, you know,

0:25:15.119 --> 0:25:16.639
<v Speaker 1>Like I said, when you when you get in a

0:25:16.680 --> 0:25:19.040
<v Speaker 1>position you know that I'm in Now you got a

0:25:19.119 --> 0:25:22.760
<v Speaker 1>chance to to to really you know, turn a turn

0:25:22.800 --> 0:25:26.080
<v Speaker 1>the organization that hasn't won in a while all from

0:25:26.600 --> 0:25:30.560
<v Speaker 1>complete one naightie from not winning to really being no contenders.

0:25:30.720 --> 0:25:33.119
<v Speaker 1>And that's that's really like that's happened to be our

0:25:33.160 --> 0:25:36.000
<v Speaker 1>mindset or nothing's going to change. So that's a second

0:25:36.000 --> 0:25:37.439
<v Speaker 1>part about it. Now we've got a chance to do

0:25:37.480 --> 0:25:40.800

<v Speaker 1>president of New Jersey. If you're someone you know has

0:26:12.240 --> 0:26:14.440
<v Speaker 1>a gambling problem called one D seven zero or seven

0:26:14.440 --> 0:26:16.600
<v Speaker 1>one one seven. What do you think about the dynamic

0:26:16.680 --> 0:26:19.960
<v Speaker 1>of the eight four mentioned? My gardener and dj Read

0:26:20.200 --> 0:26:24.280
<v Speaker 1>totally different body types, but they bring such a competitive

0:26:25.200 --> 0:26:29.320
<v Speaker 1>juice out there. Dj Read is the guy he'll fight

0:26:29.359 --> 0:26:32.560
<v Speaker 1>anybody any day. Yeah, Mom, you would think he's the

0:26:32.600 --> 0:26:34.440
<v Speaker 1>same height as Um as a mode the way doing

0:26:34.480 --> 0:26:36.800
<v Speaker 1>the way he played, in the way he presses. But um,

0:26:36.840 --> 0:26:39.119
<v Speaker 1>he's a guy that doesn't finish until the whistle was blown.

0:26:39.440 --> 0:26:41.760
<v Speaker 1>And he's a technician U and you love to see that.

0:26:41.840 --> 0:26:43.800
<v Speaker 1>You know what, no matter what time it is, that

0:26:43.880 --> 0:26:47.120
<v Speaker 1>the day he's either working on some moves, get some treatment, um,

0:26:47.160 --> 0:26:49.720
<v Speaker 1>doing a little extra work. He's doing something on the side,

0:26:49.760 --> 0:26:51.159
<v Speaker 1>and you know that's one of the thing that that

0:26:51.240 --> 0:26:52.919
<v Speaker 1>encouraged you to try to get back. All right, if

0:26:52.960 --> 0:26:55.239
<v Speaker 1>he can do something on the off day or the

0:26:55.240 --> 0:26:57.040
<v Speaker 1>time where we got a little off time, you know,

0:26:57.080 --> 0:26:59.280
<v Speaker 1>maybe I can do something too. So that's no just

0:27:00.000 --> 0:27:02.280
<v Speaker 1>if you've been a leader, or you know you consider

0:27:02.320 --> 0:27:04.680
<v Speaker 1>a leader, it's not always about what you say. It's

0:27:04.680 --> 0:27:07.640
<v Speaker 1>not all it's always about um. You know, the things

0:27:07.680 --> 0:27:10.080
<v Speaker 1>that that you're trying to do. But sometimes it's what

0:27:10.160 --> 0:27:12.359
<v Speaker 1>you do not behind closed doors, but you know, you

0:27:12.400 --> 0:27:14.480
<v Speaker 1>can be in the building and you know, people not

0:27:14.600 --> 0:27:16.879
<v Speaker 1>know that you're still working and they come across that

0:27:16.960 --> 0:27:18.600
<v Speaker 1>and see that when they're about here they leave out

0:27:18.600 --> 0:27:20.440
<v Speaker 1>the Building's like, you know what I mean, I think

0:27:20.440 --> 0:27:21.960
<v Speaker 1>I should do a little bit worth too, or that

0:27:22.000 --> 0:27:23.960
<v Speaker 1>make a player want to come to you and ask like, hey,

0:27:24.119 --> 0:27:26.320
<v Speaker 1>when you're doing this, what do you see here? Or

0:27:26.320 --> 0:27:28.120
<v Speaker 1>when you're working on this, you know, while you're working

0:27:28.119 --> 0:27:30.119
<v Speaker 1>on the here, So you know, just little things like

0:27:30.200 --> 0:27:32.800
<v Speaker 1>that that are key that get guys in the right position,

0:27:32.920 --> 0:27:35.720
<v Speaker 1>right mindset and connected. What was free and seek cool

0:27:35.800 --> 0:27:39.399
<v Speaker 1>for you from the perspective is you've been in the

0:27:39.480 --> 0:27:42.520
<v Speaker 1>National Football League for a number of years, You've played

0:27:42.520 --> 0:27:45.439
<v Speaker 1>in three postseason games, and then you see Joe Douglas

0:27:45.520 --> 0:27:48.720
<v Speaker 1>go to work. He gets a guy like Jordan's Whitehead

0:27:49.040 --> 0:27:52.240
<v Speaker 1>who has the championship ring. He's used to playing in

0:27:52.359 --> 0:27:55.040
<v Speaker 1>big games with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. You mentioned DJ

0:27:55.240 --> 0:27:57.760
<v Speaker 1>Reid before, He's got some playoff experience on the other

0:27:57.760 --> 0:27:59.879
<v Speaker 1>side of the ball. You can talk about c J's

0:28:00.359 --> 0:28:03.280
<v Speaker 1>just played in the Super Bowl. Lincoln Thomlinson, who was

0:28:03.320 --> 0:28:06.760
<v Speaker 1>part of the build himself in San Francisco. So these

0:28:06.800 --> 0:28:11.080
<v Speaker 1>guys young veterans, but also guys have won before, right

0:28:11.600 --> 0:28:13.720
<v Speaker 1>the key things that they've won before, so they've seen

0:28:13.760 --> 0:28:15.960
<v Speaker 1>it done right. They have been in the system that've

0:28:15.960 --> 0:28:18.240
<v Speaker 1>done the right, and they've been around players that have

0:28:18.280 --> 0:28:20.479
<v Speaker 1>done the right. So if they don't see things being

0:28:20.520 --> 0:28:22.240
<v Speaker 1>done right, it's more easy if for doing to point

0:28:22.240 --> 0:28:25.159
<v Speaker 1>it out compared to you know, players that have that

0:28:25.240 --> 0:28:27.600
<v Speaker 1>have you know, come from organizations where things have been

0:28:27.600 --> 0:28:30.399
<v Speaker 1>a little more lenient or some things haven't been or

0:28:30.480 --> 0:28:33.600
<v Speaker 1>things have been ran up tight um, you know, depending

0:28:33.640 --> 0:28:36.760
<v Speaker 1>on coaches, things like that. But at the end of

0:28:36.800 --> 0:28:38.840
<v Speaker 1>the day, you know, it's when you've been around winning,

0:28:39.120 --> 0:28:41.520
<v Speaker 1>you know how to win, your coach to win, and

0:28:41.560 --> 0:28:43.800
<v Speaker 1>you do the right things to win. When you see

0:28:43.840 --> 0:28:45.800
<v Speaker 1>things that to make you lose, it's easier to find

0:28:46.000 --> 0:28:47.800
<v Speaker 1>point out. So I think that was a great thing

0:28:47.840 --> 0:28:50.000
<v Speaker 1>that we did with the free agent that we sawn

0:28:50.040 --> 0:28:52.280
<v Speaker 1>a lot of guys that that came here to win.

0:28:52.800 --> 0:28:54.800
<v Speaker 1>So that's that's the most important. They came here to win,

0:28:55.200 --> 0:28:57.240
<v Speaker 1>and they want to win, and they want to win here,

0:28:57.400 --> 0:28:58.800
<v Speaker 1>and that's you know, that's all you can ask for

0:28:58.880 --> 0:29:00.680
<v Speaker 1>when you when you see it with your What do

0:29:00.680 --> 0:29:03.160
<v Speaker 1>you think about the numbers up front in front of you? Uh,

0:29:03.160 --> 0:29:07.560
<v Speaker 1>if Carl Lawson is back, we're anticipating him to make

0:29:07.600 --> 0:29:09.320
<v Speaker 1>his appearance back on the field. Here at the start

0:29:09.360 --> 0:29:11.360
<v Speaker 1>of training camp. You know he's busting his butt to

0:29:11.360 --> 0:29:14.080
<v Speaker 1>get back. Uh. He was so dynamic during training camp

0:29:14.200 --> 0:29:18.400
<v Speaker 1>last year. You obviously add Jermaine Johnson trade up in

0:29:18.440 --> 0:29:20.200
<v Speaker 1>the first round to get him. Get a guy like

0:29:20.280 --> 0:29:24.480
<v Speaker 1>Michael Clemens. Solomon Thomas is a former UH first round pick,

0:29:24.520 --> 0:29:27.240
<v Speaker 1>a top five pick who's familiar with the system. I

0:29:27.280 --> 0:29:31.200
<v Speaker 1>know he brings that reteran presence as well. Jacob Martin

0:29:31.560 --> 0:29:35.280
<v Speaker 1>bringing some speed and explosion off the edge. Well, what

0:29:35.360 --> 0:29:38.000
<v Speaker 1>do you think about what's going to be in front

0:29:38.000 --> 0:29:40.720
<v Speaker 1>of you in two thousand twenty two. Well, our defense,

0:29:40.720 --> 0:29:43.600
<v Speaker 1>a line is all about attack. So if nothing else,

0:29:43.640 --> 0:29:46.320
<v Speaker 1>they're gonna attack the line of scrammers. So I never

0:29:46.360 --> 0:29:49.200
<v Speaker 1>have to worry about that part. Um one thing I've

0:29:49.640 --> 0:29:52.720
<v Speaker 1>I've focused on another part of you know, making my

0:29:52.760 --> 0:29:55.560
<v Speaker 1>game better and getting better in his defense, if Ben

0:29:55.720 --> 0:29:57.800
<v Speaker 1>is looking at how you know the guys in front

0:29:57.800 --> 0:29:59.520
<v Speaker 1>of me get off the line of scrimmage on type

0:29:59.520 --> 0:30:02.080
<v Speaker 1>on different to run the play actual passes, because we're

0:30:02.120 --> 0:30:04.720
<v Speaker 1>gonna be in situation as a linebacker where you know,

0:30:04.840 --> 0:30:07.920
<v Speaker 1>because our offense our first first to get downhill, we're

0:30:07.960 --> 0:30:09.640
<v Speaker 1>gonna be in positions where we can get caught by

0:30:09.680 --> 0:30:12.960
<v Speaker 1>offensive line. So just knowing that is step one to

0:30:13.600 --> 0:30:16.160
<v Speaker 1>put yourself in a better position as a linebacker. So

0:30:16.240 --> 0:30:19.520
<v Speaker 1>for me, Um, it's me eliminating key reads. When I

0:30:19.560 --> 0:30:21.680
<v Speaker 1>know I have a pass run conflict. If I know

0:30:21.760 --> 0:30:23.479
<v Speaker 1>I'm not getting a certain paths, so I know I'm

0:30:23.480 --> 0:30:25.280
<v Speaker 1>not getting a certain look, I can be a little

0:30:25.280 --> 0:30:27.720
<v Speaker 1>more fast in my gap or slowing my gap depending

0:30:27.760 --> 0:30:29.960
<v Speaker 1>on the call. So I think, you know, that's just

0:30:30.000 --> 0:30:32.480
<v Speaker 1>gonna be like those next steps and evolving in his

0:30:32.640 --> 0:30:36.800
<v Speaker 1>defense and being able to playoff playoff our teammates. But um,

0:30:36.840 --> 0:30:38.800
<v Speaker 1>when it comes to you know the defensive line and

0:30:38.880 --> 0:30:40.640
<v Speaker 1>you know our passed rushers off the edge, and you

0:30:40.640 --> 0:30:42.360
<v Speaker 1>know our big guys up the middle that can still

0:30:42.640 --> 0:30:44.840
<v Speaker 1>you know, we can still pressure the quarterback. Um, it's

0:30:44.840 --> 0:30:47.520
<v Speaker 1>really just gonna be about you know, letting them playing

0:30:47.840 --> 0:30:50.440
<v Speaker 1>and getting the third down, and yeah, on paper is

0:30:50.480 --> 0:30:53.600
<v Speaker 1>gonna be really hard and in third down situations to

0:30:54.560 --> 0:30:56.640
<v Speaker 1>get in the third down third along getting in those

0:30:56.640 --> 0:30:59.680
<v Speaker 1>situations where we can really let let them go and

0:30:59.760 --> 0:31:02.200
<v Speaker 1>you have great coverage in the back end because obviously

0:31:02.240 --> 0:31:04.680
<v Speaker 1>you know we're great coverage comes more sacks. So you know,

0:31:04.720 --> 0:31:06.920
<v Speaker 1>we cover the guys in the back end, cover the

0:31:07.000 --> 0:31:09.280
<v Speaker 1>Enemedia routs, and you know, let the guys that we

0:31:09.440 --> 0:31:12.080
<v Speaker 1>that we paid to get sex get sex. What's Robert

0:31:12.080 --> 0:31:15.640
<v Speaker 1>Salo like with you specifically, because not only was the

0:31:15.720 --> 0:31:18.800
<v Speaker 1>defensive coordinator before, it's like coach, it's a long time

0:31:18.800 --> 0:31:22.800
<v Speaker 1>linebackers coach. We have we have a really good relationship. No,

0:31:22.960 --> 0:31:26.240
<v Speaker 1>we I guess. I guess I do things good enough

0:31:26.280 --> 0:31:28.200
<v Speaker 1>where he don't. He's not coaching me as much. But

0:31:28.280 --> 0:31:30.040
<v Speaker 1>if you know, if you see something, if you see

0:31:30.040 --> 0:31:33.120
<v Speaker 1>a certain drop of a certain mechanic that I can

0:31:33.160 --> 0:31:34.920
<v Speaker 1>do a little better now, he'll come to me and

0:31:34.960 --> 0:31:38.400
<v Speaker 1>tell me. But honestly, besides that, it's it's pretty, it's pretty.

0:31:38.440 --> 0:31:40.440
<v Speaker 1>Could you know, you know, check on the family acts.

0:31:40.480 --> 0:31:43.000
<v Speaker 1>He was good. Everybody good. There has a little football

0:31:43.000 --> 0:31:45.360
<v Speaker 1>talk in there. He might crack a joke, but you know,

0:31:45.560 --> 0:31:47.959
<v Speaker 1>he usually you know, he's a head coach now, so

0:31:48.000 --> 0:31:50.520
<v Speaker 1>he has to talk to everybody a little bit more. Yeah,

0:31:50.680 --> 0:31:52.840
<v Speaker 1>you know, talks to everybody. Do you like being in

0:31:52.880 --> 0:31:55.640
<v Speaker 1>his meeting room? Everybody talks about his presence that you

0:31:55.640 --> 0:32:00.960
<v Speaker 1>could feel him, Yeah, especially when he's talking. Yeah, well yeah,

0:32:01.000 --> 0:32:02.800
<v Speaker 1>you know, he's one of those guys like when you

0:32:02.840 --> 0:32:06.600
<v Speaker 1>talk to you listen, so um, you know player, coach, um, great,

0:32:06.600 --> 0:32:09.920
<v Speaker 1>he respectful, respects you, respect your time. But you know

0:32:09.960 --> 0:32:12.000
<v Speaker 1>he only asks a few things. You know, all guys,

0:32:12.000 --> 0:32:14.320
<v Speaker 1>no break. And it's it's that simple. And if you

0:32:14.320 --> 0:32:16.040
<v Speaker 1>you know, if you believe in him, you know he'll

0:32:16.080 --> 0:32:18.560
<v Speaker 1>believe in you. You protect the team, you know he'll

0:32:18.560 --> 0:32:20.560
<v Speaker 1>protect you. You know, if you do the right thing,

0:32:20.600 --> 0:32:22.080
<v Speaker 1>you know he's gonna do the right thing about you.

0:32:22.160 --> 0:32:24.440
<v Speaker 1>And that's that's really all you can ask. How much

0:32:24.440 --> 0:32:26.840
<v Speaker 1>you appreciate your defensive coording. And jeff Aul Breck he's

0:32:26.880 --> 0:32:29.640
<v Speaker 1>a guy who played that seasons in the National Football League.

0:32:30.240 --> 0:32:33.000
<v Speaker 1>He lives by that model to all guests. No break.

0:32:33.080 --> 0:32:36.320
<v Speaker 1>He's out there all over play. Yeah. I remember actually

0:32:36.320 --> 0:32:38.320
<v Speaker 1>watching him when I was when I was a little younger,

0:32:38.400 --> 0:32:41.880
<v Speaker 1>so I definitely remember his name, the mohawk. I think

0:32:41.880 --> 0:32:43.840
<v Speaker 1>he had a nick pad back in the day. But

0:32:43.920 --> 0:32:45.960
<v Speaker 1>you know, he's just one of those that's just the

0:32:46.000 --> 0:32:48.320
<v Speaker 1>style of the NFL. It was back then, you know,

0:32:48.600 --> 0:32:51.920
<v Speaker 1>the big the big burly guys just getting downhill, you know,

0:32:51.920 --> 0:32:54.920
<v Speaker 1>trying to knock each other faces off. But you see

0:32:54.960 --> 0:32:57.280
<v Speaker 1>how you know, the game has evolved, and you really

0:32:57.280 --> 0:32:59.880
<v Speaker 1>see his passion for the game when he's coaching, when

0:32:59.880 --> 0:33:01.360
<v Speaker 1>he is, you know, trying to put us in the

0:33:01.480 --> 0:33:04.560
<v Speaker 1>right position. And um, he's he's been in the situation

0:33:04.600 --> 0:33:07.040
<v Speaker 1>to you know, to win, to win the Super Bowl. Uh,

0:33:07.080 --> 0:33:09.240
<v Speaker 1>you know some people might forget about that. So that's

0:33:09.400 --> 0:33:11.640
<v Speaker 1>that's exciting for me because I know the system works.

0:33:11.840 --> 0:33:13.320
<v Speaker 1>You know, if you if you do the right things,

0:33:13.320 --> 0:33:16.200
<v Speaker 1>if you if you make the right play. So you know,

0:33:16.320 --> 0:33:19.360
<v Speaker 1>just we you know with Brick, with coach Sala, with

0:33:19.440 --> 0:33:22.480
<v Speaker 1>coach Rudy, Linebacker coach, you know, just just it's it's

0:33:22.480 --> 0:33:26.240
<v Speaker 1>a whole family. Um um recommended during like all the guys,

0:33:26.280 --> 0:33:28.880
<v Speaker 1>they all connected. That's and that's one thing that that

0:33:28.960 --> 0:33:32.080
<v Speaker 1>a lot of players, and I would to say fans

0:33:32.080 --> 0:33:33.800
<v Speaker 1>that they don't really know because you're not in the building.

0:33:33.840 --> 0:33:36.160
<v Speaker 1>But a lot of players take that for granted. Um

0:33:36.600 --> 0:33:39.400
<v Speaker 1>is the coaches, the coaches and you know their connection.

0:33:39.680 --> 0:33:41.680
<v Speaker 1>You know how much time they spent together and other

0:33:41.680 --> 0:33:43.880
<v Speaker 1>players that they've been So it's a lot of history

0:33:43.920 --> 0:33:45.920
<v Speaker 1>with you know, a lot of our coaches that other places,

0:33:46.360 --> 0:33:48.160
<v Speaker 1>you know, in the past ten years. What I mean,

0:33:48.200 --> 0:33:53.040
<v Speaker 1>even our team chapel Um coached against. He was coaching

0:33:53.040 --> 0:33:55.600
<v Speaker 1>against coach Rudy's team in high school. Like I found

0:33:55.600 --> 0:33:57.840
<v Speaker 1>that out last week. So I mean, just you know,

0:33:57.840 --> 0:33:59.920
<v Speaker 1>it's it's crazy, like what sports can do. You know,

0:34:00.040 --> 0:34:02.160
<v Speaker 1>far ast connection and you know who it brings you

0:34:02.160 --> 0:34:04.520
<v Speaker 1>to and who he brings it back around too. So

0:34:04.560 --> 0:34:07.080
<v Speaker 1>I think just um, it's a special thing that you

0:34:07.120 --> 0:34:09.719
<v Speaker 1>know that obviously that we're evolving as a team, but

0:34:09.880 --> 0:34:13.960
<v Speaker 1>our coaches are evolving as well. Yeah, Rudenberg and Aaron

0:34:13.960 --> 0:34:16.839
<v Speaker 1>Whitecott in the defensive line coach, we're together at New

0:34:16.880 --> 0:34:20.400
<v Speaker 1>Mexico State long before they started the round careers. I

0:34:20.480 --> 0:34:23.120
<v Speaker 1>want to get final thoughts here on your second year

0:34:23.200 --> 0:34:28.040
<v Speaker 1>quarterback Zach Wilson. Everybody's talked about him coming to camp

0:34:28.480 --> 0:34:31.439
<v Speaker 1>a little bit more muscle, lie, he's about two hundred

0:34:31.800 --> 0:34:36.200
<v Speaker 1>one pounds, things like that. What's his next step? Uh,

0:34:36.239 --> 0:34:40.200
<v Speaker 1>I would say, especially for quarterbacks is always that that

0:34:40.480 --> 0:34:42.840
<v Speaker 1>year one of year to jump with uh, you know,

0:34:43.000 --> 0:34:45.440
<v Speaker 1>with the recognition, um, you know, what what is he

0:34:45.520 --> 0:34:47.440
<v Speaker 1>reading was he looking at? I mean, I was. I

0:34:47.440 --> 0:34:49.160
<v Speaker 1>can't tell you because I'm not in the room, but

0:34:49.640 --> 0:34:52.040
<v Speaker 1>I think that would be the next step for him.

0:34:52.120 --> 0:34:53.960
<v Speaker 1>You know, he's gonna take care of his body. You know,

0:34:54.080 --> 0:34:55.960
<v Speaker 1>he's gonna he's gonna he got the people in the

0:34:56.080 --> 0:34:57.799
<v Speaker 1>right people in this corner that's gonna tell him do

0:34:57.840 --> 0:34:59.680
<v Speaker 1>the right things. And he's gonna do the right things.

0:35:00.280 --> 0:35:01.839
<v Speaker 1>But you know, like I said, when when we get

0:35:01.880 --> 0:35:03.640
<v Speaker 1>on the field, it's all it gonna always going to

0:35:03.719 --> 0:35:06.080
<v Speaker 1>be about, you know, his his recognition and you know,

0:35:06.200 --> 0:35:08.440
<v Speaker 1>being able to control the football and you know, if

0:35:08.480 --> 0:35:10.600
<v Speaker 1>you can if you can do that, and like I said,

0:35:10.640 --> 0:35:12.640
<v Speaker 1>we can show the turnover margin, you know we're gonna

0:35:12.680 --> 0:35:16.560
<v Speaker 1>be in nine out of ten games. He's always been

0:35:16.560 --> 0:35:19.919
<v Speaker 1>a confident guy. But did see something different than the

0:35:20.040 --> 0:35:23.200
<v Speaker 1>kid who come here, came here last spring after being

0:35:23.280 --> 0:35:25.440
<v Speaker 1>drafted with so much on the shoulders. Yeah, when you're

0:35:25.440 --> 0:35:28.000
<v Speaker 1>when you're a rookie and obviously you know the number

0:35:28.000 --> 0:35:31.120
<v Speaker 1>one guy, the quarterback, you know this, that and the other,

0:35:31.640 --> 0:35:34.920
<v Speaker 1>it's it's pressure all the time. And on top of that,

0:35:35.000 --> 0:35:37.440
<v Speaker 1>you learn a new system and the new league with

0:35:37.520 --> 0:35:40.520
<v Speaker 1>new players and all these other things. So just some

0:35:40.719 --> 0:35:42.960
<v Speaker 1>year one of year two, just that he's gonna be

0:35:43.640 --> 0:35:47.080
<v Speaker 1>less jittery about you know, the playbook part, like he

0:35:47.080 --> 0:35:49.480
<v Speaker 1>knows the playbook, he knows his players, like he knows

0:35:49.520 --> 0:35:51.719
<v Speaker 1>the system. So that part, I feel like he can

0:35:51.920 --> 0:35:54.280
<v Speaker 1>I want to say, relaxed, but it can be more confident.

0:35:54.320 --> 0:35:56.879
<v Speaker 1>And and it's not like he's just I gotta learn

0:35:56.880 --> 0:35:59.400
<v Speaker 1>this new play today. I got learned this new play tomorrow.

0:35:59.560 --> 0:36:01.719
<v Speaker 1>We gotta a new thing coming in next week. Like

0:36:01.760 --> 0:36:04.040
<v Speaker 1>he's seen he's seen some of these things already. He's

0:36:04.040 --> 0:36:06.719
<v Speaker 1>seen these formations. You know. You know what we're doing

0:36:06.760 --> 0:36:09.080
<v Speaker 1>on defense is we're not taking it easy on We're

0:36:09.080 --> 0:36:11.520
<v Speaker 1>really trying to make him make the right reads, you know,

0:36:11.640 --> 0:36:14.120
<v Speaker 1>put put hands in his face, all type of things,

0:36:14.120 --> 0:36:16.759
<v Speaker 1>you know, like we say, try to make him uncomfortable

0:36:16.800 --> 0:36:20.040
<v Speaker 1>being comfortable. So um, I think you know you're two around.

0:36:20.440 --> 0:36:22.680
<v Speaker 1>You're gonna see, you know, Zach Wilson dumber two making

0:36:22.680 --> 0:36:24.720
<v Speaker 1>a lot of players on his feet, being in the pocket,

0:36:24.760 --> 0:36:27.399
<v Speaker 1>making plays, um and taking care of the football. Let's

0:36:27.480 --> 0:36:29.920
<v Speaker 1>end here, let's go to Alabama. How much would uh

0:36:30.160 --> 0:36:33.040
<v Speaker 1>C J. Mosley coming out of high school have made

0:36:33.920 --> 0:36:39.440
<v Speaker 1>if and I ol, what's going back then like it

0:36:39.520 --> 0:36:41.920
<v Speaker 1>is now? Well, I'm still I still have a defensive player,

0:36:41.960 --> 0:36:43.520
<v Speaker 1>so it would have been nice, but it would have

0:36:43.520 --> 0:36:47.880
<v Speaker 1>been no quarterback. Hey, j and Um and Graham Mcar

0:36:47.960 --> 0:36:50.239
<v Speaker 1>would have took all that. So we had some some

0:36:50.400 --> 0:36:53.640
<v Speaker 1>all stars on offense. You gotta think about Julio, you

0:36:53.680 --> 0:36:57.759
<v Speaker 1>gotta think about Ingraham Trent. Uh, I can, I can,

0:36:58.040 --> 0:37:01.479
<v Speaker 1>I can keep going and you got the Mari. Yeah

0:37:02.080 --> 0:37:04.360
<v Speaker 1>we have crumps. Compared to those, you still would have

0:37:04.400 --> 0:37:07.959
<v Speaker 1>made a pretty penny. And then uh a more serious note,

0:37:08.040 --> 0:37:10.480
<v Speaker 1>can you talk about giving back how much the community

0:37:10.520 --> 0:37:13.160
<v Speaker 1>means to you, because you're gonna go back here after

0:37:13.719 --> 0:37:17.520
<v Speaker 1>veter Mini Camp concludes to do your annual camp. Yeah,

0:37:18.040 --> 0:37:20.479
<v Speaker 1>you know, been been in athletics most of my life,

0:37:20.560 --> 0:37:23.680
<v Speaker 1>always been been honored to be a part of the community,

0:37:23.960 --> 0:37:26.719
<v Speaker 1>always giving back in and even with my family, you know,

0:37:26.800 --> 0:37:29.160
<v Speaker 1>we always you know, find ourselves giving back or being

0:37:29.200 --> 0:37:32.440
<v Speaker 1>in the community. So you know, for me, it's always

0:37:32.480 --> 0:37:34.480
<v Speaker 1>it's always good to get back, not just know for

0:37:34.560 --> 0:37:37.319
<v Speaker 1>myself and for the exposure, but you just never know

0:37:37.360 --> 0:37:39.560
<v Speaker 1>what you know that that person or that kid or

0:37:39.560 --> 0:37:41.759
<v Speaker 1>that family might be going through that day, or what

0:37:41.840 --> 0:37:43.839
<v Speaker 1>they've been going through and just you know, just you've

0:37:43.840 --> 0:37:46.560
<v Speaker 1>been there can give them no signs of hope or

0:37:46.640 --> 0:37:48.640
<v Speaker 1>you know whatever that you're hosting that can you know,

0:37:48.680 --> 0:37:50.960
<v Speaker 1>put them in a in a better position than what

0:37:51.000 --> 0:37:53.800
<v Speaker 1>they were when they first got there. Um. So that's

0:37:53.880 --> 0:37:56.480
<v Speaker 1>that's really my reason for you know, giving back or

0:37:56.520 --> 0:37:59.960
<v Speaker 1>being in community or participating in any kind of charity

0:38:00.000 --> 0:38:02.279
<v Speaker 1>events that I do. And as far as so as

0:38:02.320 --> 0:38:06.000
<v Speaker 1>far as my camp, m that's I haven't actually been

0:38:06.040 --> 0:38:09.360
<v Speaker 1>two years now because of covid um, so it was

0:38:09.440 --> 0:38:11.319
<v Speaker 1>going on for three years. So I think this would

0:38:11.320 --> 0:38:13.960
<v Speaker 1>be the fourth the fourth or fifth year now. But

0:38:14.160 --> 0:38:16.879
<v Speaker 1>it's my my annual you know skill for football camp

0:38:16.920 --> 0:38:18.399
<v Speaker 1>that I do back in my high school in theater

0:38:18.480 --> 0:38:21.560
<v Speaker 1>or Alabama be hosting to the June twenty three is

0:38:21.719 --> 0:38:25.680
<v Speaker 1>one day we have we have to to practices and

0:38:25.719 --> 0:38:27.440
<v Speaker 1>a little seven or seven because that's like the new

0:38:27.480 --> 0:38:30.680
<v Speaker 1>thing now everybody everybody loves seven or seven. So that's

0:38:31.120 --> 0:38:34.120
<v Speaker 1>definitely get get get the kids going. And and what

0:38:34.200 --> 0:38:37.160
<v Speaker 1>we do is Saturday, we always have a we call

0:38:37.200 --> 0:38:39.480
<v Speaker 1>it all white party, and so it started off you know,

0:38:39.560 --> 0:38:42.160
<v Speaker 1>just everybody that you know participated in help. You know,

0:38:42.239 --> 0:38:44.760
<v Speaker 1>we just celebrate each other. It's just like a almost

0:38:44.760 --> 0:38:46.480
<v Speaker 1>like a family of union because it's a bunch of

0:38:46.480 --> 0:38:49.560
<v Speaker 1>friends and family, you know, coaches, um, the teachers that

0:38:49.600 --> 0:38:52.239
<v Speaker 1>help from the high school, um, all that type of things.

0:38:52.320 --> 0:38:55.640
<v Speaker 1>But over the years, we know, we started, you know,

0:38:55.680 --> 0:38:58.480
<v Speaker 1>we started doing grand charging at the door, but all

0:38:58.520 --> 0:39:01.720
<v Speaker 1>the money and all the proceeds went to a family

0:39:01.719 --> 0:39:04.680
<v Speaker 1>and need whether you know something the hospital paying for

0:39:04.719 --> 0:39:09.160
<v Speaker 1>a bill, um, you know, disability anything like that. So

0:39:09.800 --> 0:39:12.839
<v Speaker 1>I'm not sure, like what what we have for this

0:39:12.920 --> 0:39:15.759
<v Speaker 1>year because I you know, my parents and my mom,

0:39:15.920 --> 0:39:18.600
<v Speaker 1>dad and me, we all figure out like who's gonna

0:39:18.760 --> 0:39:21.080
<v Speaker 1>who's gonna choose for this? But that's usually how I go.

0:39:21.280 --> 0:39:23.600
<v Speaker 1>So it's it's it's pretty cool, and it just really

0:39:23.640 --> 0:39:25.520
<v Speaker 1>turning into something like right in front of our eyes.

0:39:25.640 --> 0:39:30.440
<v Speaker 1>Flow key. Yeah. Well, hey, listen, as you approach a birthday, thirty,
