1
00:00:00,360 --> 00:00:03,320
Speaker 1: What do you think of Michael Parsons? Great Player? Uh,

2
00:00:04,080 --> 00:00:06,760
Speaker 1: I mean he's a guy, that's it. He's with seventeen sacks,

3
00:00:06,760 --> 00:00:08,280
Speaker 1: fifteen sacks, and not too many people have done that.

4
00:00:08,320 --> 00:00:09,440
Speaker 1: So I think he's the first one to do it

5
00:00:09,480 --> 00:00:11,680
Speaker 1: in that many games. So I mean his greatness as

6
00:00:11,680 --> 00:00:14,319
Speaker 1: a now he's on a he's on a roll. Okay,

7
00:00:14,600 --> 00:00:17,000
Speaker 1: haven't been approaching taking mental reps while you've been on

8
00:00:17,000 --> 00:00:20,240
Speaker 1: the sideline? Everybody, everybody takes them differently. How is your

9
00:00:20,239 --> 00:00:23,840
Speaker 1: approach been? I mean, you know, just making sure mentally focused.

10
00:00:23,840 --> 00:00:26,239
Speaker 1: You know, taking mental reps, you gotta really lock in

11
00:00:26,200 --> 00:00:30,760
Speaker 1: and pay attention and hone in on those details. Get

12
00:00:30,800 --> 00:00:32,920
Speaker 1: back to the MICA A second. Do you have, do

13
00:00:32,960 --> 00:00:36,320
Speaker 1: you feel and added incentive baby to get on the

14
00:00:36,320 --> 00:00:38,000
Speaker 1: field against him? He's gonna you guys, gonna be in

15
00:00:38,000 --> 00:00:40,040
Speaker 1: the division for a long time. I played defense, he

16
00:00:40,080 --> 00:00:42,320
Speaker 1: played defense. I don't really think there's like a like.

17
00:00:42,360 --> 00:00:43,839
Speaker 1: I'm not trying to beat him, you know what I mean?

18
00:00:43,840 --> 00:00:45,320
Speaker 1: I'm just trying to play the best of my ability,

19
00:00:45,600 --> 00:00:49,319
Speaker 1: knowing that it's gonna be, you know, uh, great game

20
00:00:49,360 --> 00:00:50,519
Speaker 1: and it's gonna be a lot of eyes on it.

21
00:00:50,600 --> 00:00:52,960
Speaker 1: So really trying to, you know, perform under lights, but

22
00:00:53,000 --> 00:00:55,440
Speaker 1: you'RE gonna be you're gonna be measured against him for

23
00:00:55,480 --> 00:00:57,480
Speaker 1: a couple of years there. Here to go. I mean,

24
00:00:58,000 --> 00:01:05,440
Speaker 1: who's gonna be doing a measuring? I'm concert. Do you do?

25
00:01:05,480 --> 00:01:07,360
Speaker 1: You kind of like like your chops a little bit,

26
00:01:07,360 --> 00:01:09,679
Speaker 1: knowing that you're going up against a rebuild offensive line,

27
00:01:09,680 --> 00:01:12,240
Speaker 1: that it's still early in the season, they haven't really

28
00:01:12,640 --> 00:01:14,880
Speaker 1: jelled to to the point like, you know, mid season

29
00:01:14,959 --> 00:01:17,319
Speaker 1: or so, I think the opportunity, you know, we go

30
00:01:17,360 --> 00:01:20,400
Speaker 1: against any online, whether they're vets, whether they're rookies, whether

31
00:01:20,440 --> 00:01:22,759
Speaker 1: they've you been together or not. I think you always

32
00:01:22,800 --> 00:01:25,039
Speaker 1: try to find tennessees and and different players that you

33
00:01:25,040 --> 00:01:27,120
Speaker 1: can try to take advantage of or different, you know,

34
00:01:27,160 --> 00:01:29,080
Speaker 1: situations that you can try to be your best self.

35
00:01:29,080 --> 00:01:30,959
Speaker 1: For me, yeah, I wouldn't say I like at my child,

36
00:01:31,000 --> 00:01:33,800
Speaker 1: but I would say any team we play against, I

37
00:01:33,840 --> 00:01:35,840
Speaker 1: try to find their weaknesses and figure out, you know,

38
00:01:35,959 --> 00:01:38,280
Speaker 1: how I can use in my advantage. How do you

39
00:01:38,360 --> 00:01:40,800
Speaker 1: kind of keep yourself from from going a hundred miles

40
00:01:40,800 --> 00:01:42,960
Speaker 1: an hour or after you know, so many weeks off,

41
00:01:43,280 --> 00:01:44,959
Speaker 1: you know, kind of pacing yourself or doing you pace

42
00:01:45,000 --> 00:01:47,640
Speaker 1: yourself if you're you're clear to play. When you say

43
00:01:47,640 --> 00:01:49,840
Speaker 1: pace yourself as far as as far as you know,

44
00:01:49,920 --> 00:01:51,880
Speaker 1: some guys are so hyped up that they just go

45
00:01:51,960 --> 00:01:54,040
Speaker 1: a hundred miles an hour, you know, coming off of

46
00:01:54,080 --> 00:01:55,560
Speaker 1: an injury. Or do you not think of that? I

47
00:01:55,560 --> 00:01:58,120
Speaker 1: mean the thing, the thing, I think that people don't

48
00:01:58,120 --> 00:02:00,680
Speaker 1: realize is that, like whether you're injured or not, once

49
00:02:00,720 --> 00:02:02,760
Speaker 1: you decide to step on the field, you know, between

50
00:02:02,760 --> 00:02:06,040
Speaker 1: the whistles, it doesn't really matter. So just making sure

51
00:02:06,120 --> 00:02:08,079
Speaker 1: that I can go. You know, today was a day,

52
00:02:08,120 --> 00:02:09,799
Speaker 1: like you said, to open up and really try to

53
00:02:09,840 --> 00:02:12,080
Speaker 1: go that hundred to see what it would feel like.

54
00:02:12,120 --> 00:02:14,440
Speaker 1: So being able, you know, to do that was it

55
00:02:14,520 --> 00:02:16,760
Speaker 1: was a good, good thing from today. What do you

56
00:02:16,800 --> 00:02:19,680
Speaker 1: feel like you have to prove to yourself to be

57
00:02:19,919 --> 00:02:23,840
Speaker 1: out there, that I can go, I mean, you know,

58
00:02:24,080 --> 00:02:26,560
Speaker 1: just I can be healthy and I can perform the

59
00:02:26,639 --> 00:02:28,800
Speaker 1: different moves and task that I need to to kind of,

60
00:02:29,080 --> 00:02:30,960
Speaker 1: you know, to do my job at the high level.

61
00:02:32,040 --> 00:02:34,680
Speaker 1: Growing Up, if you're a guy who watched Monday night football,

62
00:02:35,000 --> 00:02:38,840
Speaker 1: sometimes all the time, you never uh, I would say

63
00:02:38,880 --> 00:02:40,760
Speaker 1: I probably didn't watch football until I got older because

64
00:02:40,760 --> 00:02:42,160
Speaker 1: of the game's kind of late and it was just

65
00:02:42,240 --> 00:02:43,959
Speaker 1: like it was slow. So for me I was like

66
00:02:44,000 --> 00:02:46,320
Speaker 1: cartoon guy. So I didn't really start watching, you know,

67
00:02:46,400 --> 00:02:50,000
Speaker 1: Monday night football, Thursday night football, until, Um, I started

68
00:02:50,000 --> 00:02:52,079
Speaker 1: getting recruited and really, you know, started paying attention to

69
00:02:52,120 --> 00:02:56,040
Speaker 1: the big leagues more recently. You recently, you didn't watch

70
00:02:56,080 --> 00:03:00,000
Speaker 1: it as a kid. Do you think it's a big deal? Um,

71
00:03:00,000 --> 00:03:02,160
Speaker 1: I would say it's a big deal as far as

72
00:03:04,680 --> 00:03:08,040
Speaker 1: player individually. You know, I feel like the WAIGHT UH

73
00:03:08,200 --> 00:03:10,880
Speaker 1: Games go in NFL are, like those bigger games. Like

74
00:03:11,680 --> 00:03:13,600
Speaker 1: you make plays in Super Bowl, you're probably gonna be

75
00:03:13,600 --> 00:03:15,560
Speaker 1: looked at as a better player than you than you are,

76
00:03:15,720 --> 00:03:17,200
Speaker 1: because it's the super bowl, because it's the height of

77
00:03:17,240 --> 00:03:19,240
Speaker 1: the game. So, like, you know, big games like this,

78
00:03:19,280 --> 00:03:21,840
Speaker 1: whether it's a national championship, Super Bowl, Monday night football,

79
00:03:21,840 --> 00:03:23,320
Speaker 1: and not saying it compared to the Super Bowl, but

80
00:03:23,639 --> 00:03:26,359
Speaker 1: in a sense where everybody's watching. I wouldn't say add

81
00:03:26,360 --> 00:03:28,640
Speaker 1: pressure to me, but in a sense where if you

82
00:03:28,680 --> 00:03:30,920
Speaker 1: do do better, it will amplify. You know, we're in

83
00:03:30,919 --> 00:03:39,600
Speaker 1: New York. You need party to play. How how are

84
00:03:39,640 --> 00:03:42,800
Speaker 1: you avoiding being frustrated by the fact that you're not

85
00:03:42,840 --> 00:03:45,600
Speaker 1: on the field yet? Um, that doesn't really frustrate you.

86
00:03:45,600 --> 00:03:47,880
Speaker 1: You gotta have a understanding of where you want to

87
00:03:47,880 --> 00:03:50,240
Speaker 1: get to. Right. If I try to focus too much

88
00:03:50,240 --> 00:03:51,720
Speaker 1: on the now, of course you'd be down, but just

89
00:03:51,760 --> 00:03:54,640
Speaker 1: trying to focus on the future of what you know

90
00:03:54,720 --> 00:03:56,320
Speaker 1: we have in store and what you don't have the store.

91
00:03:56,360 --> 00:04:01,080
Speaker 1: For Myself Thought when you first did it. I mean

92
00:04:01,160 --> 00:04:03,000
Speaker 1: you know, I'm not the bone doctor, so I couldn't

93
00:04:03,000 --> 00:04:04,640
Speaker 1: really tell you how long it was gonna take or,

94
00:04:04,680 --> 00:04:06,880
Speaker 1: like what it was gonna feel like. But I mean

95
00:04:06,960 --> 00:04:09,360
Speaker 1: as far as my mental and my body, you know,

96
00:04:09,440 --> 00:04:12,360
Speaker 1: it's been a good process, you know, having to come

97
00:04:12,360 --> 00:04:15,600
Speaker 1: back and drew sid last week, that he told you,

98
00:04:15,680 --> 00:04:21,440
Speaker 1: and disease after men make pretty consistent outside line backaches

99
00:04:23,720 --> 00:04:33,599
Speaker 1: want anytime. Um, I mean, I didn't get that question. Well,

100
00:04:34,240 --> 00:04:36,919
Speaker 1: you would relegating to that role, to being on the sideline,

101
00:04:40,279 --> 00:04:43,960
Speaker 1: he said. I mean, of course nobody. Yeah, nobody wants

102
00:04:43,960 --> 00:04:45,360
Speaker 1: to be on the sideline. But you know, I think

103
00:04:45,360 --> 00:04:46,800
Speaker 1: that's the part of the team sport where you really

104
00:04:46,839 --> 00:04:48,800
Speaker 1: got to be humbling and the fact that, like, I

105
00:04:48,839 --> 00:04:50,440
Speaker 1: can't win the game, I can't lose a game. All

106
00:04:50,480 --> 00:04:52,720
Speaker 1: I can do is contribute to the outcome. So for me,

107
00:04:52,800 --> 00:04:54,160
Speaker 1: even when I'm not on the field, just trying to

108
00:04:54,160 --> 00:04:56,400
Speaker 1: figure out how I can contribute to you know, the

109
00:04:56,400 --> 00:04:57,159
Speaker 1: guys I'm playing with.
