Speaker 1: Welcome to Off the Edge with Cam Jordan. It's me. Hello.
Speaker 2: I appreciate y'all tapping in tuning in twelve years experience
Speaker 2: behind me heading the year thirteen with the NFL, with
Speaker 2: the Saints, with the same team. It's a dream and
Speaker 2: I'm living it. I'm not truly excited because we as athletes,
Speaker 2: we want to reach for perfection. We're sitting at two
Speaker 2: and one. New Orleans Saints lost to the green Bay
Speaker 2: Packers somehow in the last seven minutes and fifty seconds
Speaker 2: of the game, which irks me because I'm not a
Speaker 2: fan of the Green Bay Packers because I was born
Speaker 2: in Minnesota. Pops played for the Minnesota Vikings, left when
Speaker 2: I was five, but I grew up being a cheesehead hater,
Speaker 2: so I hate losing to the cheese Heads just innately.
Speaker 2: I've grown up from that. I don't have that type
Speaker 2: of love hate relationship between the Vikings and the Packers
Speaker 2: or anybody else in the league.
Speaker 1: But it still does. It grinds my gears.
Speaker 2: You know, Thomas tom Us, Thomas your mute. You can't
Speaker 2: just pop in the window.
Speaker 3: I can't just chuck you hurt? Right? Were there? One?
Speaker 1: Two? Three?
Speaker 4: Specific plays in the game that you can point to
Speaker 4: and say this heard us may have contributed to the loss.
Speaker 2: There was a specific you know, fourth and short on
Speaker 2: the on the goal line that you just wish you
Speaker 2: had that play back. You know, defensive line crashed down
Speaker 2: on a running back Jordan Love runs into the end zone.
Speaker 5: Pockets have struggled out fourth down today.
Speaker 1: Love well taken it. In my mind, you know we
Speaker 1: stopped we stop them there. That's the end of the game.
Speaker 2: We ended up having seven penalties for over one hundred
Speaker 2: and one yards. It hurts shoot in.
Speaker 1: The third quarter, Derek Carr goes down out of the
Speaker 1: shot down.
Speaker 5: This car here comes pressure picked up, the car steps
Speaker 5: up and he won't go down rush Sean Gary linebacker
Speaker 5: tonny and car is down still.
Speaker 1: Was how he was slammed into the ground. Lost seventh
Speaker 1: time out for injury.
Speaker 3: Man, he is in some payment.
Speaker 1: You know.
Speaker 2: You look at that and you're like, man, all right,
Speaker 2: we got James coming in as a defense. You're trying
Speaker 2: to step up as a team. You're you're rallying, you're
Speaker 2: getting the energy up. Their car walks off on his
Speaker 2: own court. You're like, all right, we know it's not
Speaker 2: something that's going to take away from our future. We're
Speaker 2: working about our present, worried about it right now. It
Speaker 2: sucks that injuries do happen on the field, especially to
Speaker 2: a quarterback who you know is growing with our offense
Speaker 2: each and every game, and you just have to pick
Speaker 2: it up as a defense, you know, get down to
Speaker 2: the thirty yard marker and have to kick it with
Speaker 2: a winning field goal doesn't happen our way.
Speaker 1: Snap hold, kick is away and he missed him. You
Speaker 1: could tell him by the crowd behind. I believe you
Speaker 1: missed it.
Speaker 3: White.
Speaker 2: Right at the end of the day, you can't rest
Speaker 2: on the sugar cut of what is. All you have
Speaker 2: is the now and now. The Saints are sitting there
Speaker 2: two and one, and we've got our site. We've now
Speaker 2: broken down film, got our sites officially all in Tampa Bay.
Speaker 1: Buccaneers. Don't ask me about Derek Carr. I have no idea.
Speaker 2: That being said, if Jamis has to take the field,
Speaker 2: Derek Carr takes the field, we're gonna be in a
Speaker 2: great spot to try and put major points on the board.
Speaker 2: It's got to be you know, we've looked at it
Speaker 2: this whole year as it's got to be on defense.
Speaker 2: It's gonna be on defense. Defense gonna take over this
Speaker 2: next game against Tampa Bay. We're gonna focus on what
Speaker 2: we can't control.
Speaker 1: You know, when it comes into scheduling. I just want
Speaker 1: to talk about when it comes into scheduling.
Speaker 2: Turning over a loss like this, you lose on a
Speaker 2: Sunday in Green Bay, you talk to you. You know,
Speaker 2: there's a family section if you have friends, family come
Speaker 2: through after a loss. I'm not a good person, so
Speaker 2: after a loss, I'm really not looking forward to a
Speaker 2: family section. And there are people that you really look
Speaker 2: forward to seeing regardless, So you show love where you
Speaker 2: can show love, because you have to accept the love
Speaker 2: that you know that wants.

Speaker 2: still your dad. This loss is gonna change who I am.
Speaker 2: I used to used to affect my whole day. Now
Speaker 2: I'm like, hey, like, let's watch a movie.
Speaker 1: Let's calm down. If you guys want to, you know.
Speaker 2: I probably don't. If I lose, I'm probably not watching football.

Speaker 2: it all three hundred and fifty in the air, three
Speaker 2: hundred and fifty on the ground?
Speaker 3: Uh?
Speaker 2: Did something go wrong at all in your offensive game plan?
Speaker 3: Yeah?
Speaker 4: Yeah, No, we definitely got some things to work on
Speaker 4: and to improve on. We had a pretty look. Seventy
Speaker 4: points crazy, crazy, I've never seen it before. I've been
Speaker 4: around a game for a long time as a fan
Speaker 4: and as a player.
Speaker 3: I don't know if you've ever seen seventy school before? Crazy?
Speaker 3: All right, high school, I ain't never do that. High school.
Speaker 3: That was it was, It was, It was insane.
Speaker 4: We had a turn on downs where we second and
Speaker 4: one third and one fourth and one.
Speaker 3: That we didn't convert, which is we have to fix that,
Speaker 3: you know what I mean.
Speaker 4: So that's that's where our mindset is focused, you know
Speaker 4: what I mean, trying to We're trying to perfect.
Speaker 3: Our craft and be as dangerous as an offense as
Speaker 3: we possibly can.
Speaker 1: Man, unreal. You know I had I had a game
Speaker 1: the same day.
Speaker 3: Yeah we lost.
Speaker 2: We lost in the last seven minutes and fifty seconds.
Speaker 2: It's still gonna piss me off for a while. You know,
Speaker 2: I hold I hope these questions.
Speaker 1: You know, you know how petty I am.
Speaker 2: Bro, I internalize everything and I let it show show out.
Speaker 1: But that's strive for perfection, Bro. I love that you
Speaker 1: talked about.
Speaker 2: You know, there's still things to correct because in a
Speaker 2: game like that, that's one of them games that coaches
Speaker 2: are gonna try and like mill Over, you're gonna be
Speaker 2: in the room and there's.
Speaker 1: Two ways it can go.
Speaker 2: It can be like, hey, this is what we could
Speaker 2: clean up and think about how much better we could be,
Speaker 2: Like coach, we strive for perfection, and that was that
Speaker 2: was perfect. If you're looking for the shun, we can
Speaker 2: find a shun.
Speaker 1: But I was perfect.
Speaker 2: Or if you like, like, hey, you know that's when
Speaker 2: you like throw the he's under rug and be like,
Speaker 2: oh man, we could have ran for you know, a
Speaker 2: couple of yards here there, whatever it is. But now
Speaker 2: we're on to the next fit film already, So I
Speaker 2: just want to know in the locker room, like what
Speaker 2: was the message? You've already broke down film or whatever
Speaker 2: it is, what's the message?
Speaker 3: I mean? The initial reaction was kind of like what
Speaker 3: just happened? You know what I mean? Historic moment, saw a.
Speaker 4: Lot of high five and and like you know, you
Speaker 4: feel me? It was it was crazy. So we're like,
Speaker 4: man seventy, like that's wow. But we instantly switched.
Speaker 3: And the focus went to Buffalo, you know what I mean?
Speaker 4: So I love that and from a young head coach
Speaker 4: Mat McDaniel, he is he's locked in's on a mission.
Speaker 4: So the attention quickly turned to our let's get ready
Speaker 4: for the next week. So we didn't have victory Monday.
Speaker 3: We spent Yeah we didn't. We did.
Speaker 1: It ain't no victory money. You already back in that thing.
Speaker 3: I love it for real. It was in workouts meeting
Speaker 3: one day and we're getting right back to it. Right.
Speaker 2: It's your second year with the team, bro. You guys
Speaker 2: have been what five and oh six and oh last.
Speaker 3: Year we shot off three and oh yeah right.
Speaker 1: So like so now you already know how to get three?
Speaker 2: And oh, what's what's this pivotal turn to get you
Speaker 2: to that four and oh five and oh six and
Speaker 2: oh whatever gets you to the playoffs to face the
Speaker 2: Saints in the super Bowl, because that's where I'm trying
Speaker 2: to go.
Speaker 3: I would love it, would love it. Uh really for us,
Speaker 3: like our whole goal of our mantras to go.
Speaker 4: One and know every week is to go one, to
Speaker 4: know like nothing outside of that nothing.
Speaker 1: You ain't looking a long game. It's what's today, not
Speaker 1: at all.
Speaker 4: Because we got to hear about sol last year at times,
Speaker 4: Uh just just small chatter. We're talking about big picture,
Speaker 4: big picture, and we got to understand the task in
Speaker 4: front of us, and we you know, Buffalo that's top
Speaker 4: of the line program organization or a team, a defense.
Speaker 3: Uh so we got to come with.
Speaker 1: You've been you've been over in Miami for two years now.
Speaker 3: Bro.
Speaker 1: Was there a significant difference.
Speaker 2: What is the difference between like a guy like Sean
Speaker 2: Payton and Mike Daniels, Mike McDaniel as a head.
Speaker 3: Coach, They are different, for sure, very different. Sean was,
Speaker 3: especially my earlier years, Sean was intense. He was great, uh, disciplinarian.
Speaker 3: He was calling pretty much, you know, calling the shots
Speaker 3: on everything. Mike is a different personality.
Speaker 4: It's unique and it was and it was kind of
Speaker 4: put some adjusting in time to get used to when
Speaker 4: I came over because I was a Shankan not years.
Speaker 3: So Mike is just.
Speaker 4: Very very relaxedle like he literally seemed like just one
Speaker 4: of the hummies, Like he's a He's a very intelligent
Speaker 4: football mind. He sees the game kind of different than
Speaker 4: than others, very unconventional, and he's genuinely him, like the
Speaker 4: way he talks, the way he actually speaks, the way
Speaker 4: he moves like he just he want to have fun, bro,
Speaker 4: He's want to have fun. He wanted to instill kind
Speaker 4: of for this and the guys, and you want people
Speaker 4: to play fast. It's dope, man, Like I was blessed
Speaker 4: to do the Shan for all the years, a Hall
Speaker 4: of Fame coach. I love him to death everything he
Speaker 4: taught me, and I'm extremely happy to be where I
Speaker 4: am now trade anything.
Speaker 2: Yeah, So, how did it feel after getting the dub
Speaker 2: on you on your old coach?
Speaker 1: Then?
Speaker 3: Did you say?
Speaker 4: What?
Speaker 1: Did you say? What's up after?
Speaker 3: Yeah? Yeah ran up on me pre game? Yeah, he
Speaker 3: up on me pre game?
Speaker 4: Uh hit me a couple of times a sea.
Speaker 3: Get you back, yeah, get you bag, but definitely wanted
Speaker 3: that win. Yeah, I won every win, every win, every win.
Speaker 2: You've played with one of the best of all times,
Speaker 2: Drew Brees, protecting him left side lockdown for many, many years.
Speaker 2: What does it feel like now protecting Tour. I'm not
Speaker 2: even gonna try that last name. I'm over Yeah, exactly,
Speaker 2: lose too.
Speaker 4: Is incredible, man, incredible. It's a lot of similarities between
Speaker 4: the two. I can, I can, I honestly say that,
Speaker 4: a lot of similarity between the two. Both similar size, they're.
Speaker 1: Both there, both five eleven claim six foot.
Speaker 3: Go ahead, taller than Drew. Drew came down here.
Speaker 4: He came down here and hang one hund with the team,
Speaker 4: hung with me for a while, met with Tour for
Speaker 4: a good while, and then t size him up. Yeah,
Speaker 4: he was so happy about that. But a lot of
Speaker 4: similarities between them two. Man, you know, I think so
Speaker 4: Hoighly and Drew. That's the that's the go to my eyes,
Speaker 4: the things that he was able to do and to
Speaker 4: where the way he produced his production at the high
Speaker 4: levels preparations. Insane Tour reminds me of Drew from his
Speaker 4: his perspective, like the way he seized the fear of
Speaker 4: what he sees the defense, the way he anticipates he's
Speaker 4: throwing it to spots that the receiver is not there
Speaker 4: and and they just I mean, it's it's crazy, man.
Speaker 4: So his his pocket presence and his anticipation tight window
Speaker 4: throws accuracy. I promise I'm putting it in the in
Speaker 4: the realm of Drew Brees, I see a lot of similarities.
Speaker 2: Who I mean, I was high on him early, man.
Speaker 2: I mean I like what I like what he does.
Speaker 2: He stays healthy, he could be special. I think time,
Speaker 2: time will tell he is.
Speaker 3: He is, definitely, Yeah, a lot of confidence.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I know what I'm saying. I don't know. I'm saying.
Speaker 1: I don't believe.
Speaker 2: I think he's one of the good ones, and I
Speaker 2: think he has potential to be great, possibly if he
Speaker 2: stays healthy.
Speaker 1: We just know, you never know. It's a little too early.
Speaker 2: Great Now quarterbacks have twenty of your careers. So he's
Speaker 2: headed in the year five. So he's a quarter of
Speaker 2: the way through. Like everywhere else.
Speaker 3: I think it's four for him, though, I think it's
Speaker 3: your four for two.
Speaker 1: Look, he's a fifth of the way through.
Speaker 2: But but tell me, you know, without doubling back, I
Speaker 2: saw don't really want to double back on this game
Speaker 2: because I just ain't seen it. Seventy points is just ridiculous.
Speaker 2: The most I've ever been a part of. I think
Speaker 2: was probably why Drew Brees was part of the Saint's
Speaker 2: probably my rookie year. I think like mid the middle
Speaker 2: of the season, he dropped like a sixty burger, sixty
Speaker 2: something points maybe on the Colts, on the coats, on
Speaker 2: the Colts, and I was like, this is unreal. Boy,
Speaker 2: y'all went for seventy. So that's just O D O
Speaker 2: D Let's just I just want to know. Three fifty
Speaker 2: on the ground, yeah, three fifty in the air. As
Speaker 2: an office of lineman, which one of you to feel
Speaker 2: more accomplished about the lack.
Speaker 1: Of pressures because y'all only let up two pressures during the.
Speaker 2: Whole game, or like we big dog them boys up
Speaker 2: front and ran it. You know, we made them like it.
Speaker 2: You know, coaches be like, we're gonna run down their
Speaker 2: mouths and make them like it.
Speaker 1: And you were like, as a person, you're like, WHOA
Speaker 1: all right? And as the office of the line and
Speaker 1: you'd be like, yeah, you know you hit that.
Speaker 2: I see when I see when I see torn shoulder,
Speaker 2: shoulder roll is coming out with it's go to.
Speaker 4: You know what time it is. It's I've seen Banjo
Speaker 4: pregame in a week, you know what the turn up Benji.
Speaker 3: But no, so so for.
Speaker 4: Us offic the lineman like pass row is work, you
Speaker 4: feel me like, that's that's objective number one. That's what
Speaker 4: we have to accomplish. Like that, that's worked. Run game
Speaker 4: is you get to you get to enjoy more. You know,
Speaker 4: successful run game you get to make plays in a sense,
Speaker 4: you know that that's my opportunity to make a first down,
Speaker 4: to make a touchdown, you know what I mean.
Speaker 3: So we love that. And passor is stressful. It's very stressful,
Speaker 3: stressful job.
Speaker 4: You don't know exactly where to put it back a
Speaker 4: big where they're gonna get rid of the ball whatever,
Speaker 4: running back like you got tracks and you got point
Speaker 4: of attack, you know, you know what I mean, So
Speaker 4: you know where you're trying to create that lane and where.
Speaker 3: He's trying to go. So that run game is an
Speaker 3: opportunity really make plays. That's how that's how I.
Speaker 2: View so like past pro is where you show off
Speaker 2: your feet. Work plays is where you show off your dominance.
Speaker 4: Yeah yeah yeah, run places we get some highlights. Man,
Speaker 4: we're trying to I'm trying to do.
Speaker 1: On the on the second level, on the second level,
Speaker 1: on the.
Speaker 6: Second level, Okay, I got it on sail on the
Speaker 6: first level, first level.
Speaker 1: Gotta be you gotta got it that. It can't be.
Speaker 1: It has to be that term edge rush, gotta be
Speaker 1: on the edge guy.
Speaker 4: Put down every spot, every spot on the field, hit
Speaker 4: the ground.
Speaker 1: Tackle every every spot, the tackle, playing the four eye.
Speaker 4: Every spot on the field has hit the ground at
Speaker 4: some point throughout my career.
Speaker 2: Okay, all right, that's that's just offensive, just a fan
Speaker 2: because I'm saying that I know.
Speaker 3: What you do. I know you get busy. I already know.
Speaker 2: All right, So which one do you prefer to? Past
Speaker 2: past pro or run blocking? Which which were really like?
Speaker 1: Yeah, like, look.
Speaker 4: I love it, I love them both. Like I said,
Speaker 4: the stress come with the with the past pro. You know,
Speaker 4: like I said, you don't want to be the guy.
Speaker 4: You don't want to be the guy to get beat.
Speaker 4: You don't want to be the guy to get your
Speaker 4: quarterback here. Ever, So that's that's more of a stressful feeling.
Speaker 3: Uh. But it's fun though. It's fun playing that game.
Speaker 4: It's fun getting the hands and you know, working the chests,
Speaker 4: the chest mat, watching, studying you what you do, what
Speaker 4: you like to do, try to take that.
Speaker 3: Away, you know what I mean. So it's it's fun.
Speaker 4: Building that game plan and going out there and trying
Speaker 4: to execute that plan. But like I said, pastor stress
Speaker 4: run game just when you can.
Speaker 3: You can have fun. Man. You have fun with the game.
Speaker 4: You can make plays, your playmaker, you know, create stats
Speaker 4: just like just like the other positions.
Speaker 3: If somebody hit.
Speaker 4: To get a big run off my block, that's my run.
Speaker 4: I want them forty five rushing yours. I just want
Speaker 4: to put that on my man.
Speaker 1: Put that, Put that on you know.
Speaker 2: You know my theory, Bro, I've always said, nobody grew
Speaker 2: up wanting to be an offensive lineman.
Speaker 1: You know, like you didn't. You didn't like young Tea
Speaker 1: Stead at eight years old. Wasn't like I want to
Speaker 1: be the coldest left tackle in the game.
Speaker 7: You on that line, man, early on that line early, Bro,
Speaker 7: that was scarying. My post was the coach, So I
Speaker 7: was pissed and he wouldn't let me run the ball.
Speaker 7: I was fast.
Speaker 2: But like I say, let's let's take this real quick
Speaker 2: aside here, because I ain't never heard this part before week.
Speaker 3: I knew you grew up.
Speaker 1: You grew up with the rock in your hand. You
Speaker 1: grew up playing basketball.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I knew that part.
Speaker 2: Let's I ain't never asked the origins off the lineman
Speaker 2: t Stead.
Speaker 1: Let's let's talk about this. You was a kid, You
Speaker 1: was a jit. You was a little kid. Your daddy was.
Speaker 2: A coach, the head coach, and he wouldn't let you
Speaker 2: play any other position.
Speaker 3: Man put me on the line.
Speaker 4: Man, I was high, like when I'm begging yo every
Speaker 4: by the coach kid running the ball player receiver.
Speaker 2: Man saw he saw, he saw that dog and you
Speaker 2: on the office line that you didn't see in yourself
Speaker 2: at the time. Look, you know we lost against the Packers, right,
Speaker 2: and I was upset, sick or whatever.
Speaker 4: Uh.
Speaker 2: I didn't even know who the tackle was going to
Speaker 2: be up until game time. I saw that his last
Speaker 2: name was Tom, And you know what I already thought,
Speaker 2: Can my dog Zachary Tom beat little big brother of
Speaker 2: Cam Tom, who was a foremer of after line? Yes,
Speaker 2: that's Cam Tom, little big brother he's tall or bigger whatever.
Speaker 2: I said, Oh, I know about you already.
Speaker 1: You ain't gotta tell me nothing, not watching no film
Speaker 1: on him. I know him already. I know his genetics.
Speaker 1: That's why I'm so sick.
Speaker 2: I ain't come out with a second that game, because
Speaker 2: I like we talked about when you go to a
Speaker 2: game knowing everything, like you like, oh, these are the
Speaker 2: moves that's gonna work, and they all hitting. Like for you,
Speaker 2: you're changing up your sets, bro, how do you decide
Speaker 2: when you changed up your sets? By the way, because
Speaker 2: you you're cold with with get into your spots and
Speaker 2: also changing up your sets on how you want to
Speaker 2: get to the spots, because I've seen you in terms
Speaker 2: of pass pro the way you float.
Speaker 1: It's not like a Lane Johnson, Like Lane Johnson.
Speaker 2: Drops immediately back right yeah yeah yeah, and then like
Speaker 2: you'll float out. But you also switch up these sets
Speaker 2: where you'll try and jump them. And then when you jump,
Speaker 2: somebody on film like Toront doesn't do as much. I'm
Speaker 2: like yeah, because he's was like, but Toront's a dull,
Speaker 2: Like Toront got a different mentality. Most of these office
Speaker 2: the lineman just happened to be like fat people that
Speaker 2: could play football.
Speaker 1: Toront Is like, nah, I can't.
Speaker 2: I came here to hoop like Toront Like, there's a
Speaker 2: few offic the line in the league. I'm like, no,
Speaker 2: they this is their passion and for yeah, but you
Speaker 2: you you you probably say it. There's a lot of
Speaker 2: people in the league in general that sometimes you be like, bro,
Speaker 2: he's just out here because he the other people told
Speaker 2: me he was good at it. You can tell when
Speaker 2: people are passionate about their draft. So that's like, one
Speaker 2: of the things I respect about you is you're passionate
Speaker 2: about your craft. But like, what makes you change up
Speaker 2: your sets? What makes you, you know, give up the
Speaker 2: interior hand versus x T, your hair, the post or
Speaker 2: whatever whatever that terminology is.
Speaker 3: A man, that's that's through studying, studying being a student
Speaker 3: of a game.
Speaker 4: You know, watching guys thats been successful for a long
Speaker 4: time before me taking bits and pieces of what I
Speaker 4: can from them, working to my streps.
Speaker 3: So you know, I came out as you know, really athletic.
Speaker 3: Fast officer linement.
Speaker 1: Tell them about that forty times, tell them tell them
Speaker 1: about that thing.
Speaker 2: Fast office lineman ever or for six nine for seven seven,
Speaker 2: six for six five yes.
Speaker 1: Six nine for seven seven officials.
Speaker 4: Crazy, I'm faster.
Speaker 1: I'm saying you were lighter than me at the time
Speaker 1: I was heaving.
Speaker 4: Yeah, it just comes from from studying and then as
Speaker 4: I evolved over the years. I just want to keep
Speaker 4: adding to my toolbox. So I work sets off season.
Speaker 4: I worked sets on my off days. Still like today,
Speaker 4: we got it. I got it in today, and just
Speaker 4: trying to keep adding my toolbox. So I do them
Speaker 4: in practice and they're successful, I'm go go do it
Speaker 4: in a game. So jump sets, fake cut forty five degrees, says.
Speaker 3: Selling the run. Vertical hand chops all as you want
Speaker 3: to keep adding my toolbox.
Speaker 2: Trying that little handschop is so rude, by the way,
Speaker 2: like that for those you know, don't know that's off
Speaker 2: the tackle.
Speaker 1: You're like, you're setting this vertical set. You see an.
Speaker 2: Office tackle like chest pop up like it's a breastplate
Speaker 2: is explode exposed, and what do you do? You run
Speaker 2: a long arm for that breastplate and immediately so you
Speaker 2: as a defensive end, you're rushing against the tackle, he
Speaker 2: shows his chest, You hit his chest, trying to flate
Speaker 2: that thing on contact, even if you place it right
Speaker 2: a good office a line of great office alignment, like
Speaker 2: Tron is going to immediately chop your hand down before
Speaker 2: you can get a grip on.
Speaker 1: The chest plate. So your whole momentum then is diving downwards.
Speaker 1: You're going downward dog in the middle of a plate.
Speaker 2: And that's not what you want to be as a
Speaker 2: defensive Like it's such a despectable because I'm like bro,
Speaker 2: I had perfect placement.
Speaker 3: Almost yeah, yeah, almost.
Speaker 2: I want to I want to know for real. You
Speaker 2: know we talked about just to ask you about the
Speaker 2: locker room vibes. Who controls the ox in the locker

Speaker 3: Love brother, always man always.
Speaker 2: That was my dog, Toronto Arms said, doing everything that
Speaker 2: he did, making making it great, which separates him from
Speaker 2: you know, just the office lineman to one of them
Speaker 2: real dogs.
Speaker 1: Like he earns respect and he doesn't. He doesn't sett
Speaker 1: up for anything less than the highest level competition.
Speaker 6: Uh.
Speaker 2: But I just want to transition, man, what it's like
Speaker 2: we talked about get off the guys to give you
Speaker 2: know about the moves that we use when we get
Speaker 2: off the edge. I just want to talk about the
Speaker 2: basic foundation of what it is to be an edge rusher.
Speaker 2: When you're on the edge, you're in your stance, and
Speaker 2: that could be a four point which means both hands
Speaker 2: down on the ground. That's a three point, which is
Speaker 2: one hand is down on the ground, and some guys
Speaker 2: like to switch.
Speaker 1: It up two point.
Speaker 2: You know you're coming off just your feet top feet,
Speaker 2: looking like a like a track star with no with
Speaker 2: no with no blocks. Get off is the most important
Speaker 2: thing for a defensive linment, and that could be switching
Speaker 2: up tempo in terms of how are you going to
Speaker 2: get off the ball? Or you know von Miller the
Speaker 2: way he switches up his tempo in terms of exceletterting
Speaker 2: at his fastest or sometimes delaying himself so he's throwing
Speaker 2: off office of the lineman's timing. But for me, it's
Speaker 2: all about that true get off. It's I'm four points
Speaker 2: to the ground, I'm keying in on where the ball is.
Speaker 2: Center has the ball, and I already know, I've already
Speaker 2: indicated when the senter's gonna snap. He could be on
Speaker 2: head count or could be on the quarterbacks cadence. All
Speaker 2: that information is being processed before the play. I know
Speaker 2: exactly where it wants to be hiked and when the
Speaker 2: ball is snapped.
Speaker 1: That's true get off.
Speaker 2: That is explosion from your two point of pressure with
Speaker 2: your feet in the ground to getting into your best
Speaker 2: running form. It's track stance.
Speaker 1: You are trying to get your best get off. I e.
Speaker 1: Von Miller and his ghost i e.
Speaker 2: Michael Parsons and the way he explodes off the ball
Speaker 2: Shack Shaq Barrett. There's so many guys who have elite
Speaker 2: get off that can win rushes without ever needing to
Speaker 2: move because of their anticipation. Get off your stance, your alignment,
Speaker 2: your ability to anticipate to when the ball snapped, appreciate it.
Speaker 1: That's me too.
