1 00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:06,240 Speaker 1: What's up? What's up? It's been good day two, just 2 00:00:06,240 --> 00:00:09,840 Speaker 1: doing my job every day. Year two. How do you 3 00:00:09,920 --> 00:00:12,240 Speaker 1: just feel, you know, last year's you're a lot felt news, 4 00:00:12,360 --> 00:00:17,960 Speaker 1: new environment level? Is there more comfort this time this year? Yeah? 5 00:00:18,000 --> 00:00:21,840 Speaker 1: So getting used to the newer coach, coach Jerry. He's 6 00:00:21,880 --> 00:00:24,840 Speaker 1: doing a really good job coaching us up, teaching us 7 00:00:24,840 --> 00:00:26,560 Speaker 1: what to expecting, things like that, and that's how you 8 00:00:26,600 --> 00:00:28,000 Speaker 1: like elevate your game, and that's what I'm trying to 9 00:00:28,040 --> 00:00:31,560 Speaker 1: do to elevate my game. What does d say for 10 00:00:31,680 --> 00:00:33,839 Speaker 1: the way he goes about his business? Have you buying 11 00:00:33,880 --> 00:00:38,360 Speaker 1: in at post? The biggest thing with Mayo is he 12 00:00:38,440 --> 00:00:41,320 Speaker 1: treats you like an adult, and he says you're a professional, 13 00:00:41,360 --> 00:00:43,920 Speaker 1: so you gotta be one. And it's on us to 14 00:00:43,960 --> 00:00:46,400 Speaker 1: come in here every day and act like a professional. 15 00:00:46,880 --> 00:00:49,479 Speaker 1: And that's not any different from what Bill did. Is 16 00:00:49,520 --> 00:00:51,360 Speaker 1: because we're playing in the National Football League and you should 17 00:00:51,360 --> 00:00:56,240 Speaker 1: expect nothing less different delivery, though I mean less of 18 00:00:56,280 --> 00:01:00,640 Speaker 1: a frown for sure. But mentioned you in strength saying 19 00:01:00,680 --> 00:01:03,080 Speaker 1: one of the guys all was making the leak? What 20 00:01:03,280 --> 00:01:05,680 Speaker 1: sort of why do you think he said that about you? 21 00:01:05,720 --> 00:01:07,520 Speaker 1: Where do you think that it's allowed you to feel 22 00:01:07,640 --> 00:01:10,280 Speaker 1: maybe more comfortable and catch the coaches side. I don't 23 00:01:10,280 --> 00:01:11,600 Speaker 1: know why he said that about me, to be honest, 24 00:01:11,600 --> 00:01:15,800 Speaker 1: that's you gotta ask him for that something like that. Yeah, 25 00:01:15,840 --> 00:01:17,479 Speaker 1: I really don't pay attention to that, Like, I still 26 00:01:17,520 --> 00:01:19,399 Speaker 1: got to come out here every day and do my 27 00:01:19,520 --> 00:01:21,679 Speaker 1: job and work to get better because at the end 28 00:01:21,680 --> 00:01:24,039 Speaker 1: of the day, I still feel like I have a 29 00:01:24,040 --> 00:01:26,080 Speaker 1: bad taste in my mouth for what we did last 30 00:01:26,080 --> 00:01:29,200 Speaker 1: season and can't nothing change about that until we prove 31 00:01:29,200 --> 00:01:32,760 Speaker 1: it on this season. What what individually gets you sort 32 00:01:32,800 --> 00:01:35,000 Speaker 1: of highlighted say, I want to I want to go 33 00:01:35,040 --> 00:01:38,600 Speaker 1: to the next level from year one year two, slowing 34 00:01:38,600 --> 00:01:41,240 Speaker 1: the game down with my knowledge ability, being able to 35 00:01:41,280 --> 00:01:44,120 Speaker 1: read offenses a little bit better, anticipate what's coming and 36 00:01:44,400 --> 00:01:47,080 Speaker 1: play box blocks for sure. Do you feel that way 37 00:01:47,200 --> 00:01:48,560 Speaker 1: sort of during the end of last year because they 38 00:01:48,560 --> 00:01:50,880 Speaker 1: felt like you settled in definitely in the second half 39 00:01:50,920 --> 00:01:53,160 Speaker 1: of last season. Yeah. So I'm still in the position 40 00:01:53,640 --> 00:01:55,520 Speaker 1: personally that I feel like I'm trying to still earn 41 00:01:55,560 --> 00:01:59,040 Speaker 1: my spot and just earn my stripes. I'm only going 42 00:01:59,040 --> 00:02:01,320 Speaker 1: into year two. I maybe coming in the here too, 43 00:02:01,320 --> 00:02:02,880 Speaker 1: but I'm still only going in the year two, So 44 00:02:03,240 --> 00:02:05,640 Speaker 1: I still feel like I need to prove myself to 45 00:02:06,120 --> 00:02:16,119 Speaker 1: not only my teammates, but the league enjoyed it. I mean, 46 00:02:16,760 --> 00:02:18,280 Speaker 1: Joe Kim says all the time, the more you can do, 47 00:02:18,360 --> 00:02:20,720 Speaker 1: the longer they got to keep you. So I'm just 48 00:02:20,760 --> 00:02:22,919 Speaker 1: trying to play as much as possible, as many positions 49 00:02:22,960 --> 00:02:25,440 Speaker 1: as possible, so I can just be here as long 50 00:02:25,480 --> 00:02:31,000 Speaker 1: as I can. When you describe your path rush repertoire back, 51 00:02:31,160 --> 00:02:33,480 Speaker 1: you feel like that's been expanding in addition to your 52 00:02:33,560 --> 00:02:36,799 Speaker 1: kind of mental grass game. Yeah, so the biggest thing 53 00:02:37,280 --> 00:02:38,520 Speaker 1: for a D lineman is to be able to get 54 00:02:38,520 --> 00:02:41,480 Speaker 1: the green light to mess up. Uh So, trying to 55 00:02:41,520 --> 00:02:43,519 Speaker 1: just earn my stripes and earn that green light to 56 00:02:43,680 --> 00:02:45,600 Speaker 1: be a little bit more free in the rush and 57 00:02:45,720 --> 00:02:47,799 Speaker 1: be more of a focus in the rush is a thing. 58 00:02:47,840 --> 00:02:50,160 Speaker 1: But that comes into earning your trust of your coaches 59 00:02:50,160 --> 00:02:52,920 Speaker 1: and your teammates to know that, for them to know 60 00:02:52,960 --> 00:02:55,679 Speaker 1: that you know what you're doing. Do you feel like 61 00:02:55,680 --> 00:02:58,880 Speaker 1: the game is still one hundred percent for sure? Just 62 00:02:58,960 --> 00:03:01,080 Speaker 1: slowing down, being able to anticipate. I know what I have. 63 00:03:01,639 --> 00:03:04,280 Speaker 1: Last year I was more so worried about doing my job, 64 00:03:04,520 --> 00:03:07,000 Speaker 1: not messing up, and now going into year two, I 65 00:03:07,000 --> 00:03:09,240 Speaker 1: feel like I'm more concerned with winning my reps instead 66 00:03:09,240 --> 00:03:14,560 Speaker 1: of just doing my job down its physical or it's like, 67 00:03:14,680 --> 00:03:16,560 Speaker 1: is there a physical part of that too? To me, 68 00:03:17,120 --> 00:03:21,320 Speaker 1: football is eighty percent mental, mental toughness, mental awareness, things 69 00:03:21,360 --> 00:03:24,079 Speaker 1: like that. And we're all big, fast and strong and 70 00:03:24,160 --> 00:03:26,680 Speaker 1: playing the National Football League, so that mental is going 71 00:03:26,720 --> 00:03:29,000 Speaker 1: to take you way farther than the physical. So it's 72 00:03:29,040 --> 00:03:34,480 Speaker 1: not to anticipate now last year. Yeah, so like more 73 00:03:34,560 --> 00:03:37,760 Speaker 1: so last year I was focused on doing my job 74 00:03:37,920 --> 00:03:40,640 Speaker 1: and not messing up. And now I kind of have 75 00:03:40,640 --> 00:03:43,080 Speaker 1: a grasp of the defense and so I can focus 76 00:03:43,120 --> 00:03:44,880 Speaker 1: on I already know what my job is, I'm confident 77 00:03:44,920 --> 00:03:46,680 Speaker 1: in it, and now I can focus on winning and 78 00:03:46,720 --> 00:03:56,119 Speaker 1: beating my opponent. Yeah, we're all it's it's not even 79 00:03:56,240 --> 00:03:59,040 Speaker 1: just jud On Wils things like that. It's a whole 80 00:03:59,080 --> 00:04:02,280 Speaker 1: collaborative team in the in our position room, and we 81 00:04:02,320 --> 00:04:04,480 Speaker 1: do a good job in our position room of bouncing 82 00:04:04,480 --> 00:04:06,840 Speaker 1: ideas off each other, talking what do you see? What 83 00:04:06,880 --> 00:04:09,200 Speaker 1: do you see, and just being in a collaborative work 84 00:04:09,240 --> 00:04:13,120 Speaker 1: because if we're all winning, then we're all winning. Last question, 85 00:04:13,240 --> 00:04:18,480 Speaker 1: successful season for looks like just better than I was 86 00:04:18,560 --> 00:04:22,280 Speaker 1: last year. To be honest, thanks look On
