1
00:00:07,080 --> 00:00:27,920
Speaker 1: Okay, don't have right, Yeah, definitely a lot of carryover

2
00:00:28,200 --> 00:00:32,480
Speaker 1: from what I learned from the Giants decordinator Patrick Graham

3
00:00:32,600 --> 00:00:34,839
Speaker 1: Um and being under coach Flores then coming down to

4
00:00:34,880 --> 00:00:37,239
Speaker 1: Miami for a year playing under them and learning the

5
00:00:37,240 --> 00:00:40,639
Speaker 1: basic schemes in the defense helped me. When I came here,

6
00:00:40,640 --> 00:00:42,840
Speaker 1: I was already tapped into a lot of the communication

7
00:00:42,920 --> 00:00:45,320
Speaker 1: skills that already got to go on and it just

8
00:00:45,360 --> 00:00:49,120
Speaker 1: helped me jump to the next level inside of the defense.

9
00:00:49,159 --> 00:00:52,560
Speaker 1: I guess I can say um and start thinking faster

10
00:00:52,600 --> 00:01:02,920
Speaker 1: and making players on the ball right at pipal You're intelligence.

11
00:01:04,200 --> 00:01:06,560
Speaker 1: It means a lot, man. I'm actually glad that I

12
00:01:06,640 --> 00:01:08,360
Speaker 1: came in during the off season because that helped me

13
00:01:08,360 --> 00:01:09,600
Speaker 1: a lot. I got a lot of one on one

14
00:01:09,640 --> 00:01:12,880
Speaker 1: time with all just all the coaches, not just one

15
00:01:12,959 --> 00:01:16,200
Speaker 1: particular coach, and just hearing that from a coach I'm saying,

16
00:01:16,240 --> 00:01:19,679
Speaker 1: belichickers what any player wants, and hopefully I can just

17
00:01:19,760 --> 00:01:27,840
Speaker 1: keep progressing with that ode for Miami even last year

18
00:01:29,959 --> 00:01:35,600
Speaker 1: different from the reality. On my personal opinion, man, I

19
00:01:35,600 --> 00:01:37,880
Speaker 1: feel like you know what I'm saying there. The Patriots

20
00:01:37,959 --> 00:01:41,840
Speaker 1: was one of the most the best executed teams in

21
00:01:41,880 --> 00:01:44,640
Speaker 1: the League. What I'm saying, they barely we barely make

22
00:01:44,720 --> 00:01:47,120
Speaker 1: false starts. We don't get off side on defense. I

23
00:01:47,120 --> 00:01:49,960
Speaker 1: mean it happens every every blue moon, but we're real discipline.

24
00:01:50,320 --> 00:01:52,280
Speaker 1: And now that I'm here, I see why because it's

25
00:01:52,320 --> 00:01:54,360
Speaker 1: practiced on the daily basis and stuff that we go

26
00:01:54,360 --> 00:01:56,600
Speaker 1: over all the time. And uh, I think that's what

27
00:01:56,680 --> 00:01:58,600
Speaker 1: helps us be who we are and what I'm saying,

28
00:01:58,640 --> 00:02:00,560
Speaker 1: and you can see it from being on the other

29
00:02:00,600 --> 00:02:03,320
Speaker 1: side of the field, all those things play out because

30
00:02:03,760 --> 00:02:10,360
Speaker 1: it happens every day in practicing and it's a good thing.

31
00:02:10,680 --> 00:02:18,040
Speaker 1: You know you've been in Oh yeah, for sure. Man.

32
00:02:18,080 --> 00:02:20,800
Speaker 1: As soon as the day I signed with the Patriots,

33
00:02:21,520 --> 00:02:24,600
Speaker 1: I take kV. I was already in contact with him.

34
00:02:24,800 --> 00:02:27,760
Speaker 1: I got in contact with High Mayo. Even the older

35
00:02:27,800 --> 00:02:29,720
Speaker 1: cats been, you know, saying he's been here for a while,

36
00:02:30,240 --> 00:02:31,919
Speaker 1: and just told him, Man, I'm ready to work and

37
00:02:32,120 --> 00:02:34,160
Speaker 1: whatever you got, whatever knowledge y'all guys have for me,

38
00:02:34,200 --> 00:02:38,280
Speaker 1: I'm ready and uh, just lay it on me. I

39
00:02:38,360 --> 00:02:46,040
Speaker 1: remember when you signed, you talked about it's been cool

40
00:02:46,080 --> 00:02:48,440
Speaker 1: man then. And he's one of the guys that I

41
00:02:48,480 --> 00:02:49,960
Speaker 1: was a little bit younger when he was coming when

42
00:02:49,960 --> 00:02:52,480
Speaker 1: he was playing, but being from Georgia and him playing

43
00:02:52,480 --> 00:02:54,320
Speaker 1: at Tennessee, I was able to see him in the SEC.

44
00:02:54,800 --> 00:02:56,560
Speaker 1: How he progressed through the SEC and went on to

45
00:02:56,600 --> 00:02:58,600
Speaker 1: play some years and he played beside Gary. Got in

46
00:02:59,240 --> 00:03:01,760
Speaker 1: Gary Goton, went to my rival high school, Brad will'st

47
00:03:01,800 --> 00:03:05,120
Speaker 1: to where we're from the same area, and uh I

48
00:03:05,240 --> 00:03:07,960
Speaker 1: talked to Gary a little bit, and uh Teddy came

49
00:03:08,000 --> 00:03:11,000
Speaker 1: out the other day. I knew Willi McGinnis from he

50
00:03:11,040 --> 00:03:13,520
Speaker 1: came and coach to camp when I was in high school.

51
00:03:13,639 --> 00:03:16,600
Speaker 1: So just been all over the place and Sandy's Patriot

52
00:03:16,600 --> 00:03:19,120
Speaker 1: linebackers come back and give back and try to spread

53
00:03:19,120 --> 00:03:21,919
Speaker 1: knowledge on the next generation. Even kVA High them being

54
00:03:21,960 --> 00:03:24,480
Speaker 1: older cats in the room, they still everything that we need.

55
00:03:24,520 --> 00:03:28,040
Speaker 1: We can ask them and they'll give it to us

56
00:03:31,440 --> 00:03:34,840
Speaker 1: right man. When I when they would come down to

57
00:03:34,920 --> 00:03:37,160
Speaker 1: hard Rock and their defense was on the field, I

58
00:03:37,160 --> 00:03:39,800
Speaker 1: was watching fifty four the whole time and like no

59
00:03:39,880 --> 00:03:42,400
Speaker 1: qui no ifans or bust about it. He's at the time.

60
00:03:42,440 --> 00:03:45,040
Speaker 1: It was like eighteen, I think eighteen when Tom Braid,

61
00:03:45,520 --> 00:03:48,000
Speaker 1: Tom was still on the team. I would as soon

62
00:03:48,040 --> 00:03:49,800
Speaker 1: as we go back on and I watched our offense

63
00:03:49,800 --> 00:03:51,360
Speaker 1: on the field, and I watched the hot I play

64
00:03:51,400 --> 00:03:53,320
Speaker 1: the whole game. That's all. I would watch the entire

65
00:03:53,360 --> 00:03:56,760
Speaker 1: game because that's who I eventually want to be like

66
00:03:56,760 --> 00:03:59,240
Speaker 1: one day. You know what I'm saying. Why would I

67
00:03:59,240 --> 00:04:05,080
Speaker 1: watch him? At the time, I think it was Bobby

68
00:04:05,120 --> 00:04:11,240
Speaker 1: Wagner high and maybe uh Patrick Willis. Now Patrick Willis

69
00:04:11,240 --> 00:04:12,960
Speaker 1: is already going. It was a couple of other backers

70
00:04:13,000 --> 00:04:15,160
Speaker 1: around the league that when they play, you're gonna sit

71
00:04:15,200 --> 00:04:16,520
Speaker 1: there and watch him, you know what I'm saying. And

72
00:04:16,640 --> 00:04:18,200
Speaker 1: I just gave him not respect when he was on

73
00:04:18,240 --> 00:04:20,040
Speaker 1: the field. What I'm saying, and it still applies now.

74
00:04:20,080 --> 00:04:22,839
Speaker 1: Everything he does, how he how his thought process goes,

75
00:04:22,960 --> 00:04:24,840
Speaker 1: is leadership and stuff like that. I just try to

76
00:04:24,839 --> 00:04:37,400
Speaker 1: soak it all in. Man, Kyle, Kyle really doesn't know this,

77
00:04:37,480 --> 00:04:39,160
Speaker 1: but he kind of put it all, put all the

78
00:04:39,200 --> 00:04:41,839
Speaker 1: pieces together in my head. I had this big puzzle

79
00:04:41,920 --> 00:04:44,360
Speaker 1: in my head about this defense before I met Kyle,

80
00:04:44,960 --> 00:04:48,799
Speaker 1: and just learning how he manipulates the front and also

81
00:04:48,880 --> 00:04:51,640
Speaker 1: plays and coverage. Just learning and tying the two together.

82
00:04:51,760 --> 00:04:53,839
Speaker 1: I really learned that from Kyle because he's so smart

83
00:04:53,880 --> 00:04:56,360
Speaker 1: and how he can get his sacked. Oh who's gonna

84
00:04:56,400 --> 00:04:58,960
Speaker 1: get the sacond Is play? Based on with the center's

85
00:04:59,000 --> 00:05:01,200
Speaker 1: point or whatnot. And he really taught me that and

86
00:05:01,560 --> 00:05:19,479
Speaker 1: it helps me play faster. Always good to see him run. Man. Yeah,

87
00:05:19,480 --> 00:05:22,120
Speaker 1: you just whenever you say gotta have you think about

88
00:05:22,600 --> 00:05:25,000
Speaker 1: fifty thousand and sixty thousand fans in the Statum. It's

89
00:05:25,000 --> 00:05:27,160
Speaker 1: the last played the game, and we're either gonna be

90
00:05:27,160 --> 00:05:29,560
Speaker 1: walking in the locker room happy or mad. That's what

91
00:05:29,640 --> 00:05:41,919
Speaker 1: I think about. Man, They we're gonna see tomorrow. I

92
00:05:41,960 --> 00:05:44,960
Speaker 1: mean this, it's what it's all about. I'm a football player,

93
00:05:45,000 --> 00:05:48,800
Speaker 1: I don't a linebacker. That's what we feed for contacting.

94
00:05:49,320 --> 00:05:57,880
Speaker 1: I'm ready for tomorrow. It can't be Michigan Heavy haven't

95
00:05:57,920 --> 00:06:00,720
Speaker 1: won in ten years, so that we got oh we

96
00:06:00,800 --> 00:06:03,520
Speaker 1: got one of it, and we got the rook But

97
00:06:03,640 --> 00:06:06,120
Speaker 1: it's like they have no say so because they haven't

98
00:06:06,120 --> 00:06:08,560
Speaker 1: won a game. Needed All three of them haven't won

99
00:06:08,560 --> 00:06:11,440
Speaker 1: a game. So and it's three generations of linebackers in

100
00:06:11,480 --> 00:06:12,880
Speaker 1: there and they none of them have won a game.

101
00:06:12,960 --> 00:06:20,960
Speaker 1: So we can just keep rolling. And seven they're really

102
00:06:21,000 --> 00:06:24,400
Speaker 1: really the same Playum I had to I had we

103
00:06:24,400 --> 00:06:25,800
Speaker 1: were in the cover two. I run down the middle

104
00:06:25,800 --> 00:06:27,680
Speaker 1: of the field and the tightening cross my face as

105
00:06:27,680 --> 00:06:30,120
Speaker 1: soon as the tighten across my face, I popped my

106
00:06:30,160 --> 00:06:32,840
Speaker 1: eyes to the quarterback and they had made eye contact,

107
00:06:33,240 --> 00:06:34,680
Speaker 1: and I knew as soon as they made eye contact

108
00:06:34,680 --> 00:06:36,560
Speaker 1: he was throwing it there. Mac Mac through the first one,

109
00:06:36,600 --> 00:06:39,880
Speaker 1: and uh, the other one was Kendrick Born. He was

110
00:06:39,960 --> 00:06:42,800
Speaker 1: number three to the right side. He came over top

111
00:06:42,880 --> 00:06:46,080
Speaker 1: similar similar player, but just with a receiver, and him

112
00:06:46,120 --> 00:06:53,000
Speaker 1: and Kim kind of made eye contact and as it broke. Yeah,

113
00:06:53,040 --> 00:06:55,159
Speaker 1: I think after the play, I told him, I told

114
00:06:55,200 --> 00:06:58,400
Speaker 1: you over there not to throw that play, and uh,

115
00:06:58,560 --> 00:07:06,919
Speaker 1: hopefully the mark can get one in my hand there

116
00:07:07,000 --> 00:07:12,480
Speaker 1: might be How do you like, Yeah, I'm kind of

117
00:07:12,480 --> 00:07:14,960
Speaker 1: a Trila error guy, you know what I'm saying. Sometimes

118
00:07:15,000 --> 00:07:17,160
Speaker 1: I make the wrong call and my coaches yelling at

119
00:07:17,120 --> 00:07:19,800
Speaker 1: me on the sideline. I'm like, Okay, I'm the opposite, dude,

120
00:07:19,800 --> 00:07:23,000
Speaker 1: the opposite thing next time. So just I kind of

121
00:07:23,040 --> 00:07:25,800
Speaker 1: learned from Chala error and uh saying something about loud

122
00:07:25,880 --> 00:07:27,440
Speaker 1: and one of my guys tell me, oh, no, that's

123
00:07:27,480 --> 00:07:29,960
Speaker 1: not it. It kind of helps me jump to and

124
00:07:30,000 --> 00:07:31,680
Speaker 1: think about it on the next play that, Okay, I

125
00:07:31,680 --> 00:07:33,400
Speaker 1: gotta make this call on the next play that's the

126
00:07:33,480 --> 00:07:36,520
Speaker 1: correct call for it. And it helps me be more

127
00:07:36,520 --> 00:07:40,200
Speaker 1: confident in this defense. It like you don't just have

128
00:07:40,280 --> 00:07:41,920
Speaker 1: to know what your role is, like you have to

129
00:07:41,920 --> 00:07:47,320
Speaker 1: know oh yeah, for sure, because sometimes y'all see me

130
00:07:47,320 --> 00:07:49,760
Speaker 1: on the field grab my head after a play because

131
00:07:49,800 --> 00:07:51,720
Speaker 1: I'm thinking to myself like, oh, this person should have

132
00:07:51,720 --> 00:07:54,440
Speaker 1: been here, I should have been there. But I gotta

133
00:07:54,440 --> 00:08:03,360
Speaker 1: stop doing that. And just finished the Yeah, all special

134
00:08:03,360 --> 00:08:05,840
Speaker 1: teams for the writers. I did ko R and punt

135
00:08:05,960 --> 00:08:22,080
Speaker 1: for the Dolphins. Yeah, yeah, I mean, I think the

136
00:08:22,120 --> 00:08:24,600
Speaker 1: coach says that all the time. And the most important

137
00:08:24,640 --> 00:08:28,000
Speaker 1: thing about football's points. So they come to the rai

138
00:08:28,120 --> 00:08:30,360
Speaker 1: zone three times only score one test down. I kicked

139
00:08:30,360 --> 00:08:32,880
Speaker 1: two field goals, they got thirteen points. If we go

140
00:08:32,960 --> 00:08:35,199
Speaker 1: down there and score twice to kick one field but

141
00:08:35,200 --> 00:08:38,040
Speaker 1: we're seventeen now, we got we win in the game.

142
00:08:38,080 --> 00:08:40,760
Speaker 1: So it's all about stopping them, holding them to at

143
00:08:40,840 --> 00:08:43,520
Speaker 1: least points as possible, and when it's it's easy to

144
00:08:43,520 --> 00:08:46,520
Speaker 1: play defense in the rai zone because of the depth.

145
00:08:46,559 --> 00:08:48,400
Speaker 1: It's not enough. It's not a lot of depth, but

146
00:08:48,600 --> 00:08:54,200
Speaker 1: you have a lot of width. How would you describe,

147
00:08:55,320 --> 00:08:58,000
Speaker 1: Oh man, that was dope. I haven't seen the rookie

148
00:08:58,120 --> 00:08:59,679
Speaker 1: I've been in my fifth year in the league. That's

149
00:08:59,679 --> 00:09:02,480
Speaker 1: part of the best rookie impres nation I've ever seen.

150
00:09:03,040 --> 00:09:04,880
Speaker 1: That's probably the best one. So I give him coot

151
00:09:04,960 --> 00:09:08,840
Speaker 1: up to that ever dope just because he was spot

152
00:09:08,880 --> 00:09:12,120
Speaker 1: on about everything that Cam does, how he dressed, came

153
00:09:12,120 --> 00:09:14,400
Speaker 1: in with the suitcase with you know, you know Cam

154
00:09:14,480 --> 00:09:17,520
Speaker 1: swag up to the floor man. So he came in

155
00:09:17,640 --> 00:09:19,280
