1
00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:02,920
Speaker 1: Are you feeling pretty good? Yeah, I feel good. I'll

2
00:00:02,920 --> 00:00:05,680
Speaker 1: just sick a little bit, you know, going around right now.

3
00:00:05,720 --> 00:00:07,560
Speaker 1: So just trying to stay healthy, stay clean and stuff

4
00:00:07,600 --> 00:00:13,400
Speaker 1: like that. I was talking about you sort of uh,

5
00:00:13,680 --> 00:00:15,760
Speaker 1: making all those sort of for lack of better term,

6
00:00:15,880 --> 00:00:19,640
Speaker 1: like dirty place right all the silence stats. What do

7
00:00:19,640 --> 00:00:22,120
Speaker 1: you think when you hear your defensive care or saying

8
00:00:22,120 --> 00:00:24,200
Speaker 1: that a day? Um, yeah, I know what you mean.

9
00:00:24,239 --> 00:00:27,000
Speaker 1: It's more like decoys, you know, not necessarily a decoy

10
00:00:27,040 --> 00:00:29,560
Speaker 1: because anybody can win, but there's always a scheme and

11
00:00:29,600 --> 00:00:32,120
Speaker 1: it's always you know, set up and winks great at

12
00:00:32,200 --> 00:00:34,280
Speaker 1: you know, he's a mastermind that drawn up you know,

13
00:00:34,360 --> 00:00:36,560
Speaker 1: plays and things like that. So yeah, just being able

14
00:00:36,560 --> 00:00:38,159
Speaker 1: to plug and play wherever he wants me and being

15
00:00:38,159 --> 00:00:41,880
Speaker 1: able to you know, execute the defense. It's a it's

16
00:00:41,920 --> 00:00:44,479
Speaker 1: a I guess a knack of mine. How much is

17
00:00:44,520 --> 00:00:47,000
Speaker 1: that sort of like the feedback you can see like, hey,

18
00:00:47,640 --> 00:00:50,279
Speaker 1: you know, maybe the stats the splash that's aren't there,

19
00:00:50,320 --> 00:00:52,519
Speaker 1: but we like what you're doing here. Yeah, I think

20
00:00:52,520 --> 00:00:54,480
Speaker 1: you know, what do we nine ten weeks in to

21
00:00:54,640 --> 00:00:57,760
Speaker 1: nine weeks and I haven't you know, through the totality

22
00:00:57,760 --> 00:00:59,680
Speaker 1: of ten games. I haven't seen any bad. You know,

23
00:00:59,680 --> 00:01:01,520
Speaker 1: there's always plays you're clean up, there's always things you

24
00:01:01,520 --> 00:01:03,200
Speaker 1: can grow from. But I don't think I've had a

25
00:01:03,280 --> 00:01:05,840
Speaker 1: bad game, you know, I've always been able to, you know,

26
00:01:05,880 --> 00:01:07,959
Speaker 1: even whether it's a bad play, fight back and kind

27
00:01:07,959 --> 00:01:09,399
Speaker 1: of make up for it in the back end, or

28
00:01:09,600 --> 00:01:12,120
Speaker 1: you know, just continue to you know, um, just keep

29
00:01:12,120 --> 00:01:16,040
Speaker 1: getting better. It's satisfying when you're out there and playing

30
00:01:16,560 --> 00:01:19,039
Speaker 1: that you don't live just someone else's sack, even though

31
00:01:19,080 --> 00:01:21,440
Speaker 1: that doesn't go in your statue. I would say it's

32
00:01:21,480 --> 00:01:24,319
Speaker 1: more satisfying when they make the play right, because you know,

33
00:01:24,400 --> 00:01:26,160
Speaker 1: sometimes you you do do things and it's like they

34
00:01:26,200 --> 00:01:29,680
Speaker 1: almost make or somebody you know, there's always ah if,

35
00:01:29,800 --> 00:01:31,680
Speaker 1: But when they do make it, it's always fun to,

36
00:01:31,720 --> 00:01:33,600
Speaker 1: you know, rejoice with your teammate. You have gotten a

37
00:01:33,600 --> 00:01:35,360
Speaker 1: couple of those holding calls, like do you think we

38
00:01:35,400 --> 00:01:38,520
Speaker 1: need to petition to make that specifically? That shouldn't be

39
00:01:38,560 --> 00:01:41,120
Speaker 1: like a dirty statin. I mean it's definitely, I mean

40
00:01:41,200 --> 00:01:42,920
Speaker 1: for me, for me, it's like I was just thinking

41
00:01:42,920 --> 00:01:44,520
Speaker 1: about it, like if I was a guy who complained

42
00:01:44,520 --> 00:01:47,320
Speaker 1: about thousand things when I started getting them, everybody with

43
00:01:47,400 --> 00:01:49,000
Speaker 1: hay me, you know, so for me, I'm just gonna

44
00:01:49,080 --> 00:01:51,080
Speaker 1: keep grinding. I'm gonna keep getting out the mundy, and

45
00:01:51,080 --> 00:01:53,080
Speaker 1: when they do start getting will finally everybody else to

46
00:01:53,080 --> 00:01:55,440
Speaker 1: take a gasp and be like, Okay, finally. Was that

47
00:01:55,480 --> 00:01:58,640
Speaker 1: always your mindset in terms of understanding the dirty work

48
00:01:59,120 --> 00:02:01,200
Speaker 1: from when you were you were player, Yeah, I mean

49
00:02:01,200 --> 00:02:03,640
Speaker 1: I've always played d line and even when I played basketball,

50
00:02:03,720 --> 00:02:05,520
Speaker 1: was always a big man, so I never was like flash,

51
00:02:05,600 --> 00:02:08,000
Speaker 1: I never looked good doing it, But just knowing that,

52
00:02:08,040 --> 00:02:10,120
Speaker 1: like you know, the rewards gonna come at the end

53
00:02:10,120 --> 00:02:15,480
Speaker 1: of the season, you guys kind of run the conversation again,

54
00:02:15,720 --> 00:02:18,080
Speaker 1: you know, I mean, right now, I'm just really focused

55
00:02:18,120 --> 00:02:19,639
Speaker 1: on our team. I mean, he's a great player. He's

56
00:02:19,639 --> 00:02:21,120
Speaker 1: done you know, a lot of great things. There's a

57
00:02:21,160 --> 00:02:23,040
Speaker 1: lot of great pass reorps who've done great things. But

58
00:02:23,400 --> 00:02:24,799
Speaker 1: just being able to kind of hone in on these

59
00:02:24,800 --> 00:02:26,919
Speaker 1: wins and not really taking for granted and I get

60
00:02:26,960 --> 00:02:28,520
Speaker 1: too big, you know, you see a lot, you see

61
00:02:28,560 --> 00:02:30,560
Speaker 1: a little so just trying to keep focusing on you know,

62
00:02:30,600 --> 00:02:32,359
Speaker 1: the next day, how much proud of you taking in

63
00:02:32,400 --> 00:02:34,639
Speaker 1: the run, the run part of the game. I mean,

64
00:02:34,720 --> 00:02:36,800
Speaker 1: just you know, that's that's something that people don't really

65
00:02:36,800 --> 00:02:39,120
Speaker 1: pay attention to, you know, people who can set up

66
00:02:39,160 --> 00:02:41,560
Speaker 1: those first and second downs to get to third down.

67
00:02:41,560 --> 00:02:44,679
Speaker 1: That's you know, yeah, exactly. So me being able to

68
00:02:44,720 --> 00:02:46,600
Speaker 1: stop the running step up that's been you know, great

69
00:02:46,639 --> 00:02:49,000
Speaker 1: for me and just making those games right to be

70
00:02:49,040 --> 00:02:50,840
Speaker 1: able to be on the field for four downs. And

71
00:02:50,880 --> 00:02:52,680
Speaker 1: I know the pass rush and everything else is gonna come.

72
00:02:52,720 --> 00:02:54,600
Speaker 1: So I'm not really too worried about that as long

73
00:02:54,639 --> 00:02:56,680
Speaker 1: as I keep playing, you know, fundamentally sound to keep

74
00:02:56,800 --> 00:02:59,840
Speaker 1: growing in that aspect. A lot of players to get motivated,

75
00:03:00,720 --> 00:03:02,960
Speaker 1: the teams that passed them over, the guys that were

76
00:03:03,000 --> 00:03:05,239
Speaker 1: drafted ahead of them. You don't pay any attention to

77
00:03:05,440 --> 00:03:07,320
Speaker 1: all that. Um I don't. I don't only get motivated

78
00:03:07,320 --> 00:03:09,040
Speaker 1: because I don't even think it was the team's choice

79
00:03:09,080 --> 00:03:10,359
Speaker 1: to pass over me. I think, you know, it was

80
00:03:10,360 --> 00:03:12,239
Speaker 1: already written, right. I think this was where I was

81
00:03:12,240 --> 00:03:14,040
Speaker 1: supposed to be and God had this in store, so

82
00:03:14,440 --> 00:03:15,720
Speaker 1: you know, this is this is where I should be.

83
00:03:15,760 --> 00:03:18,200
Speaker 1: I don't really hold anything on anybody. This is sort

84
00:03:18,240 --> 00:03:22,000
Speaker 1: of one of the first big past teams. You've got

85
00:03:22,080 --> 00:03:23,720
Speaker 1: guys who played I think the only team you play

86
00:03:23,720 --> 00:03:26,280
Speaker 1: there are currently in the top ten and passion as

87
00:03:26,280 --> 00:03:30,360
Speaker 1: a defensive linement. I'm sure does like enjoy rushing the passer.

88
00:03:31,040 --> 00:03:35,000
Speaker 1: Uh how excited does that make you when entering a

89
00:03:35,000 --> 00:03:37,200
Speaker 1: game like this knowing that, hey, I'm gonna get maybe

90
00:03:37,280 --> 00:03:39,880
Speaker 1: more opportunities more. I think it's I think it's really good.

91
00:03:39,880 --> 00:03:42,000
Speaker 1: But you know, one thing about us that we're not

92
00:03:42,080 --> 00:03:44,839
Speaker 1: in the top and run defense yet, right We're we're

93
00:03:44,840 --> 00:03:46,840
Speaker 1: we're getting there and we're putting it all together, but

94
00:03:46,880 --> 00:03:48,920
Speaker 1: we're not there yet. So I'm not gonna take that

95
00:03:48,960 --> 00:03:50,880
Speaker 1: for grant to think they're gonna play a passing game,

96
00:03:50,960 --> 00:03:53,560
Speaker 1: because we know football is always about those little ages.

97
00:03:53,640 --> 00:03:55,840
Speaker 1: So you know, again, we're just gonna really harp on

98
00:03:55,920 --> 00:03:58,280
Speaker 1: stopping the run and then once I get stopped, then

99
00:03:58,320 --> 00:04:00,440
Speaker 1: we'll we'll set it up and do everything else. When

100
00:04:00,560 --> 00:04:05,040
Speaker 1: third down comes. We seem to you know who Frank zappens.

101
00:04:05,400 --> 00:04:07,520
Speaker 1: We seem to indicate you know who Frank Zappa was.

102
00:04:07,560 --> 00:04:09,920
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, yeah, of course. Yeah. It's just music. I

103
00:04:09,960 --> 00:04:12,200
Speaker 1: mean when you when you come from I think it's

104
00:04:12,200 --> 00:04:14,000
Speaker 1: and I was saying, it's a California thing where you

105
00:04:14,040 --> 00:04:15,400
Speaker 1: come from l A and you're from the city. I

106
00:04:15,400 --> 00:04:18,240
Speaker 1: feel like there's a lot of older family, whether it's

107
00:04:18,279 --> 00:04:21,760
Speaker 1: grandmother's grandfathers who come from like that Motown era, and

108
00:04:21,760 --> 00:04:23,360
Speaker 1: and they just bring it and not just Mo Time,

109
00:04:23,400 --> 00:04:25,159
Speaker 1: but all you know from the seventies and eighties and

110
00:04:25,160 --> 00:04:26,920
Speaker 1: just on it just kind of bring it in. It's

111
00:04:26,960 --> 00:04:29,000
Speaker 1: it's in your culture. He loves that, you know, of

112
00:04:29,000 --> 00:04:31,559
Speaker 1: the old count right. Yeah, it's always always a blessing

113
00:04:31,600 --> 00:04:33,120
Speaker 1: to be able to jam out to it, like the

114
00:04:33,160 --> 00:04:37,280
Speaker 1: old time Thursdays or whatever. He calls yea throw I

115
00:04:37,279 --> 00:04:39,440
Speaker 1: mean for me, for me, it's almost it's almost throwback.

116
00:04:39,440 --> 00:04:40,919
Speaker 1: Every day. I always get at least an hour in

117
00:04:40,960 --> 00:04:42,680
Speaker 1: where it's just old school. So for me, it's like

118
00:04:42,720 --> 00:04:44,919
Speaker 1: every day, and it's I'm always asking like is that

119
00:04:45,000 --> 00:04:48,560
Speaker 1: my playlist? You know, knowing it's not. Most people think

120
00:04:48,560 --> 00:04:50,880
Speaker 1: of you that sort of like this new age athlete, right.

121
00:04:50,920 --> 00:04:53,200
Speaker 1: And yeah, the fact that you're like a throwback. How

122
00:04:53,279 --> 00:04:56,400
Speaker 1: much you think that surprises people? I mean it's it's

123
00:04:56,440 --> 00:04:58,680
Speaker 1: surprises the people who don't you know listen. And I

124
00:04:58,720 --> 00:05:01,400
Speaker 1: think for me, it's it's, uh. I take pride and

125
00:05:01,480 --> 00:05:03,520
Speaker 1: like and everything I do for one, but I really

126
00:05:03,560 --> 00:05:05,520
Speaker 1: take probably in old school music. I take pride and

127
00:05:05,520 --> 00:05:07,919
Speaker 1: and being like an old soul and trying to be

128
00:05:08,000 --> 00:05:11,640
Speaker 1: that connection between you know, my parents and grandparents generations

129
00:05:11,640 --> 00:05:15,480
Speaker 1: and you know, giving that game to my generation and

130
00:05:15,560 --> 00:05:18,039
Speaker 1: Lawrence and modern Williams dominating on the field. What are

131
00:05:18,080 --> 00:05:20,800
Speaker 1: they like off the field? Are they similar guys? Are

132
00:05:20,800 --> 00:05:23,920
Speaker 1: they helpful guys? Guys? I would say if you're if

133
00:05:23,920 --> 00:05:25,920
Speaker 1: you watch football and then you hang out with them,

134
00:05:25,960 --> 00:05:28,240
Speaker 1: you would never expect you know what I mean, Like

135
00:05:28,240 --> 00:05:29,760
Speaker 1: who they are on the field and who they are

136
00:05:30,200 --> 00:05:32,760
Speaker 1: in you know, in real life, are too completely different.

137
00:05:32,800 --> 00:05:35,440
Speaker 1: I mean just from Dex. I mean he's he's a

138
00:05:35,480 --> 00:05:38,039
Speaker 1: destroyer right on on the football field, but when he

139
00:05:38,080 --> 00:05:39,880
Speaker 1: comes off, he's all playful and he's you know, they're

140
00:05:39,880 --> 00:05:42,400
Speaker 1: all great guys. I think, you know, the thing that

141
00:05:42,480 --> 00:05:46,960
Speaker 1: people miss miss out on is that this isn't just

142
00:05:47,120 --> 00:05:48,880
Speaker 1: a game, right, This is like art, This is like

143
00:05:49,040 --> 00:05:51,640
Speaker 1: uh this is this is their job and it's their work,

144
00:05:51,720 --> 00:05:54,320
Speaker 1: you know. So for me, just seeing how professional they

145
00:05:54,360 --> 00:05:56,200
Speaker 1: are when it comes to the game and everything they do.

146
00:05:56,240 --> 00:05:58,440
Speaker 1: As far as their body, Like Dex is four pounds,

147
00:05:58,440 --> 00:05:59,839
Speaker 1: I don't know how big he is, but he's strong

148
00:05:59,880 --> 00:06:02,040
Speaker 1: as as anybody, and the way he just takes care

149
00:06:02,080 --> 00:06:04,120
Speaker 1: of his body and can continue to go week after

150
00:06:04,200 --> 00:06:08,280
Speaker 1: week I mean it's amazing. And Leonard, I mean, come

151
00:06:08,320 --> 00:06:10,280
Speaker 1: on now, just how big he is and how strong

152
00:06:10,320 --> 00:06:12,039
Speaker 1: he is. But then he's still flexible. He can still

153
00:06:12,040 --> 00:06:13,960
Speaker 1: get around guys. He can still do it and then
