1
00:00:00,760 --> 00:00:05,560
Speaker 1: Okay, we'll start with the Instalefall by Evan Lazar. Hey, Stacy, Josh,

2
00:00:05,600 --> 00:00:08,840
Speaker 1: how are you. I'm good? How are you doing good? Good? Um?

3
00:00:09,000 --> 00:00:12,799
Speaker 1: We were talking to Dante Highttower yesterday and he said

4
00:00:12,840 --> 00:00:16,640
Speaker 1: that you in your game remind him of Matt Judon,

5
00:00:16,960 --> 00:00:20,400
Speaker 1: who you're now teammates with. Um, what does that comparison

6
00:00:20,440 --> 00:00:23,800
Speaker 1: mean to you? I mean, that's a great comparison because

7
00:00:23,880 --> 00:00:26,920
Speaker 1: Judon is probably one of the best pass rushes I've

8
00:00:26,920 --> 00:00:29,760
Speaker 1: ever been around. Um, you know, but I just try

9
00:00:29,800 --> 00:00:32,120
Speaker 1: to work every day to kind of emulate do some

10
00:00:32,200 --> 00:00:34,280
Speaker 1: things he does and try to get to his level,

11
00:00:34,360 --> 00:00:37,000
Speaker 1: his status, you know. So it's definitely great to have

12
00:00:37,080 --> 00:00:39,080
Speaker 1: a player you aspire to be like on your team

13
00:00:39,080 --> 00:00:41,240
Speaker 1: and in your room. You know. That way, you kind

14
00:00:41,240 --> 00:00:44,279
Speaker 1: of have someone that ladies out the roadmap of you know,

15
00:00:44,400 --> 00:00:48,280
Speaker 1: how to go about things like a professional. So did

16
00:00:48,320 --> 00:00:52,360
Speaker 1: you did you like Judon's game before he was your

17
00:00:52,360 --> 00:00:55,400
Speaker 1: teammate and how has it changed now that he's right

18
00:00:55,440 --> 00:00:58,920
Speaker 1: next to you and you can bounce ideas off. Um? Definitely,

19
00:00:58,960 --> 00:01:01,040
Speaker 1: I mean I remember playing the Ravens last year and

20
00:01:01,320 --> 00:01:04,000
Speaker 1: being on scout team. You know, we talked about Judon

21
00:01:04,160 --> 00:01:06,319
Speaker 1: being kind of like this chess piece, you know, this

22
00:01:06,440 --> 00:01:09,199
Speaker 1: versatile guy who can do a lot of different things

23
00:01:09,200 --> 00:01:12,240
Speaker 1: and brings versatility to the defense. So, you know, ever

24
00:01:12,319 --> 00:01:14,480
Speaker 1: since then, I kind of just you know, started watching

25
00:01:14,520 --> 00:01:16,880
Speaker 1: more of his game and just kind of just seeing

26
00:01:16,920 --> 00:01:29,640
Speaker 1: how fluid of a pass rusher he is. So thanks Rush.

27
00:01:29,840 --> 00:01:33,319
Speaker 1: Next question of him was ourful for Zach Cox. Hey, Josh,

28
00:01:33,319 --> 00:01:36,040
Speaker 1: how you doing good? How are you doing doing well?

29
00:01:36,400 --> 00:01:39,000
Speaker 1: I just wanted to take you back to yesterday's practice

30
00:01:39,040 --> 00:01:41,200
Speaker 1: for a second with the Giants and I had you

31
00:01:41,240 --> 00:01:43,560
Speaker 1: down for three sacks and the scrimmage it looked like

32
00:01:43,600 --> 00:01:45,760
Speaker 1: you kind of started to get into your own a

33
00:01:45,760 --> 00:01:48,480
Speaker 1: little bit during that practice. Just what was a light

34
00:01:48,520 --> 00:01:51,240
Speaker 1: to be able to get to the QB so effectively yesterday?

35
00:01:52,480 --> 00:01:55,080
Speaker 1: Just being able to compete against other guys you know

36
00:01:55,120 --> 00:01:57,400
Speaker 1: that aren't your teammates is always a great opportunity to

37
00:01:57,480 --> 00:01:59,640
Speaker 1: kind of showcase some of the things you've been working

38
00:01:59,640 --> 00:02:03,120
Speaker 1: on in practice, and you know, definitely just we were

39
00:02:03,120 --> 00:02:05,440
Speaker 1: all finding a rhythm, you know, together as a defense,

40
00:02:05,480 --> 00:02:08,040
Speaker 1: and you know, things were clicking, we were flowing, and

41
00:02:08,120 --> 00:02:11,040
Speaker 1: you know, it kind of just showed itself. So does

42
00:02:11,080 --> 00:02:14,280
Speaker 1: anything change for you guys today? We're not allowed to

43
00:02:14,280 --> 00:02:18,720
Speaker 1: watch you guys practice anymore. So anything different about today's practice?

44
00:02:18,720 --> 00:02:20,520
Speaker 1: I know you can't get into too much detail, but

45
00:02:20,639 --> 00:02:23,120
Speaker 1: would you say it was any different than yesterday? Yeah?

46
00:02:23,160 --> 00:02:25,000
Speaker 1: I see you guys out there, man, I'm looking to

47
00:02:25,040 --> 00:02:27,120
Speaker 1: them ow right, I'm like, where the guys that you know?

48
00:02:27,320 --> 00:02:30,360
Speaker 1: But it was yeah, obviously, you know, it was just

49
00:02:30,440 --> 00:02:34,040
Speaker 1: kind of more, you know, normal type practice for us,

50
00:02:34,080 --> 00:02:39,320
Speaker 1: you know, nothing really spectacular. So thanks Josh. Next question

51
00:02:39,400 --> 00:02:45,280
Speaker 1: Zach Cox, followed by Kyrie Thompson. How's it going, Josh?

52
00:02:45,840 --> 00:02:50,400
Speaker 1: How are you doing that? Doing well? Having been together

53
00:02:50,480 --> 00:02:52,400
Speaker 1: with this current group now for the last couple of

54
00:02:52,440 --> 00:02:55,560
Speaker 1: months and there's twenty practices at this point, a couple

55
00:02:55,560 --> 00:02:59,519
Speaker 1: of practices against some other teams. Are you getting excited

56
00:02:59,600 --> 00:03:03,840
Speaker 1: for just the potential that this this front seven has

57
00:03:03,880 --> 00:03:06,120
Speaker 1: just with with all the new pieces and with some

58
00:03:06,200 --> 00:03:10,200
Speaker 1: of the returning guys like yourself kind of potentially taking

59
00:03:10,480 --> 00:03:13,960
Speaker 1: another step forward this year. You know, I'm excited every day, man,

60
00:03:14,000 --> 00:03:15,720
Speaker 1: I get to come in with these guys, you know,

61
00:03:15,840 --> 00:03:17,679
Speaker 1: great group of guys, you know what I mean. It's

62
00:03:17,760 --> 00:03:20,680
Speaker 1: always fun, you know, always a lot of energy and

63
00:03:20,760 --> 00:03:22,800
Speaker 1: just when we're out there is just dynamic. You know,

64
00:03:22,880 --> 00:03:24,680
Speaker 1: you know, God, you can rely on guys. You can

65
00:03:24,720 --> 00:03:27,000
Speaker 1: trust guys to do their jobs. So I look forward

66
00:03:27,000 --> 00:03:28,919
Speaker 1: to coming to work every day and because it's always

67
00:03:28,919 --> 00:03:30,639
Speaker 1: something new, there's always a way to get better. So

68
00:03:34,720 --> 00:03:42,240
Speaker 1: next question Kyrie Thompson, followed by George Hey Josh, So yesterday, Um,

69
00:03:42,280 --> 00:03:43,960
Speaker 1: you know, after a couple of those plays, I mean

70
00:03:44,000 --> 00:03:46,200
Speaker 1: you were getting pretty amped up. I mean you could

71
00:03:46,240 --> 00:03:48,280
Speaker 1: see that. Uh you know, you were, you were pretty

72
00:03:48,280 --> 00:03:50,520
Speaker 1: fired up and the defense was fired up. I mean,

73
00:03:51,960 --> 00:03:54,160
Speaker 1: how how is that for you? Like, you know, bringing

74
00:03:54,200 --> 00:03:56,920
Speaker 1: bringing that energy and kind of letting you know the

75
00:03:57,320 --> 00:03:59,840
Speaker 1: other team and even even letting letting your guys know,

76
00:04:00,120 --> 00:04:02,800
Speaker 1: like you know, I'm I'm feeling good out here. You know,

77
00:04:02,880 --> 00:04:06,720
Speaker 1: I'm ready to dominate. Um. Yeah, that just goes back

78
00:04:06,760 --> 00:04:09,320
Speaker 1: to you know where I'm from. I'm from Miami, Florida.

79
00:04:09,560 --> 00:04:12,040
Speaker 1: You know, uh, you know, growing up in Miami, Florida's

80
00:04:12,040 --> 00:04:14,720
Speaker 1: a football hot bed. And you know, I just always

81
00:04:14,720 --> 00:04:17,479
Speaker 1: remember my pop owner coach coach Oh, he told me,

82
00:04:17,520 --> 00:04:19,400
Speaker 1: when you you know, it's okay to be a nice guy,

83
00:04:19,440 --> 00:04:21,119
Speaker 1: but when you step on the field, you gotta flip

84
00:04:21,120 --> 00:04:25,400
Speaker 1: with switch. You gotta become kind of a lack of

85
00:04:25,440 --> 00:04:27,840
Speaker 1: a better where. I mean, you got to develop a

86
00:04:27,880 --> 00:04:30,279
Speaker 1: mean streak if you will, so, you know, kind of

87
00:04:30,640 --> 00:04:32,680
Speaker 1: that's the mentality I've took with me all the way

88
00:04:32,720 --> 00:04:34,400
Speaker 1: up until now. And it's kind of you know, when

89
00:04:34,440 --> 00:04:36,400
Speaker 1: you step on the field, you gotta flip that switch,

90
00:04:36,920 --> 00:04:39,120
Speaker 1: you know, I kind of you know, turn up the intensity,

91
00:04:39,160 --> 00:04:41,599
Speaker 1: play with some passion, and that's kind of that's kind

92
00:04:41,600 --> 00:04:44,840
Speaker 1: of how I go. Thank you very much, appreciate that.

93
00:04:46,839 --> 00:04:48,800

Speaker 1: Dante speaking so highly of you, and you're finding your

98
00:05:00,520 --> 00:05:03,799
Speaker 1: footprint in a front seven with him, Kyle and Matt

99
00:05:03,839 --> 00:05:06,039
Speaker 1: as well. What do you pick up from each of

100
00:05:06,040 --> 00:05:07,960
Speaker 1: those guys if you can think of it, you know

101
00:05:08,000 --> 00:05:10,000
Speaker 1: that has helped you make this big jump in your

102
00:05:10,000 --> 00:05:12,520
Speaker 1: second season. I'm gonna answer that, but I want to

103
00:05:12,560 --> 00:05:14,760

00:05:14,760 --> 00:05:17,479
Speaker 1: to know, so I appreciate you asking. It means a lot.

105
00:05:17,760 --> 00:05:20,000
Speaker 1: Both of my parents immigrated to here from Lebanon. So

106
00:05:20,360 --> 00:05:24,240
Speaker 1: my grandfather he's from Syria, so it's Syrian but Lebanese.

110
00:05:36,040 --> 00:05:39,120
Speaker 1: appreciate you asking brother problem. But to answer your question,

111
00:05:39,200 --> 00:05:42,960
Speaker 1: I mean, just having guys like Van Noy, you have Judeon,

112
00:05:43,279 --> 00:05:45,920
Speaker 1: You've got high Tower, You've got Chase, you've got Ronnie,

113
00:05:45,960 --> 00:05:48,240
Speaker 1: You've got a ton of guys, you got Anthony. I mean,

114
00:05:48,320 --> 00:05:51,000
Speaker 1: you could learn something from each of those guys every

115
00:05:51,000 --> 00:05:53,520
Speaker 1: single day, like somebody might be better to you at

116
00:05:53,520 --> 00:05:55,800
Speaker 1: a certain thing. In me, the way I look at

117
00:05:55,800 --> 00:05:57,640
Speaker 1: things I try to take I try to look at

118
00:05:57,640 --> 00:05:59,760
Speaker 1: what everybody does well. I'm trying to implement that into

119
00:05:59,800 --> 00:06:02,720
Speaker 1: my game. So to have such a high level of guys,

120
00:06:03,279 --> 00:06:05,400
Speaker 1: high level and high amount of guys in our room

121
00:06:05,440 --> 00:06:07,760
Speaker 1: that do things very well, I mean just allows me

122
00:06:07,800 --> 00:06:10,200
Speaker 1: to kind of cherry pick a little bit at uh,

123
00:06:10,600 --> 00:06:21,880
Speaker 1: you know, adding things into my games. So the last question, Rosie, hi,

124
00:06:22,000 --> 00:06:24,800
Speaker 1: josh Um, you're adding things into your game. So these

125
00:06:24,839 --> 00:06:28,279
Speaker 1: preseason games, how beneficial has it? Been for you this

126
00:06:28,400 --> 00:06:31,040
Speaker 1: season after not having them last season, and these joint

127
00:06:31,080 --> 00:06:34,760
Speaker 1: practices too, it's been great. You know, the kind of

128
00:06:35,440 --> 00:06:38,919
Speaker 1: halfway you know, prepare for a team, you know, to

129
00:06:38,960 --> 00:06:41,920
Speaker 1: be able to practical go against somebody other than your teammates.

130
00:06:42,080 --> 00:06:44,320
Speaker 1: It's always a great opportunity that will get you ready

131
00:06:44,360 --> 00:06:46,880
Speaker 1: for the real thing. So, you know, definitely having it

132
00:06:46,960 --> 00:06:48,920
Speaker 1: this year as opposed to last year has been great.

133
00:06:49,040 --> 00:06:51,840
Speaker 1: You know, having fans has been great. You know, last

134
00:06:51,880 --> 00:06:53,359
Speaker 1: year it is kind of like a ghost town in

135
00:06:53,360 --> 00:06:57,360
Speaker 1: the stadium, but it's definitely been great. Um just allows

136
00:06:57,560 --> 00:06:59,720
Speaker 1: you know, guys to kind of, you know, get into

137
00:06:59,720 --> 00:07:01,960
Speaker 1: their a bit more in depth because you're going against

138
00:07:02,000 --> 00:07:04,400
Speaker 1: someone else, and you know, it's definitely been great in

139
00:07:04,480 --> 00:07:04,800
Speaker 1: my opin
