29
00:01:09,360 --> 00:01:11,720
Speaker 1: You and TJ Watt have been such a great pass

30
00:01:11,800 --> 00:01:14,800
Speaker 1: rushing duo and a disruptive force. TJ is closing in

31
00:01:14,840 --> 00:01:17,560
Speaker 1: on one hundred career sacks. You think that's a big milestone.

32
00:01:17,560 --> 00:01:19,960

Speaker 2: that that puts you, that to put you in a

35
00:01:23,520 --> 00:01:25,800
Speaker 2: rare category. And so it just shows to who he

36
00:01:25,920 --> 00:01:28,480
Speaker 2: is as not only as a football player, but also

37
00:01:28,480 --> 00:01:30,800
Speaker 2: as a person as well. Is the way he works

38
00:01:30,840 --> 00:01:32,720
Speaker 2: and so he loves this game and he takes it

39
00:01:32,760 --> 00:01:35,039
Speaker 2: seriously and you see how hard he works and it

40
00:01:35,080 --> 00:01:36,880
Speaker 2: pays off for him on the field, and so that

41
00:01:37,000 --> 00:01:38,679
Speaker 2: moment is gonna be special when he gets to one

42
00:01:38,760 --> 00:01:40,360
Speaker 2: hundred sacks. So looking forward to that.

43
00:01:40,640 --> 00:01:43,319
Speaker 1: Mike thomlins On no need to get certain guys out

44
00:01:43,319 --> 00:01:46,800
Speaker 1: there during the preseason yourself, t J Watt, Cam Hayward

45
00:01:47,040 --> 00:01:48,680
Speaker 1: even on special team. He said, I'm not gonna play

46
00:01:48,680 --> 00:01:50,600
Speaker 1: Miles skilled, but I know he can do. So this

47
00:01:50,680 --> 00:01:53,960
Speaker 1: provides opportunities for young guys. Nick Herbick, who makes him

48
00:01:53,960 --> 00:01:57,440
Speaker 1: splash last year, had a really really impressive preseason.

49
00:01:57,520 --> 00:01:59,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, and we all knew who was going to these

50
00:01:59,280 --> 00:02:02,440

52
00:02:03,760 --> 00:02:05,760
Speaker 2: came in last year, he's making plays and making splash

53
00:02:05,760 --> 00:02:07,840
Speaker 2: plays for us, and he's gonna do the same this year.

54
00:02:07,880 --> 00:02:09,959
Speaker 2: And so I'm just excited to see what he does

55
00:02:10,000 --> 00:02:11,079
Speaker 2: for us this year. And I think the three of

56
00:02:11,160 --> 00:02:12,560

57
00:02:12,600 --> 00:02:14,080
Speaker 2: this year. So I'm really excited for it.

58
00:02:14,240 --> 00:02:16,360
Speaker 1: Going into year five, yourself, what are you looking for?

59
00:02:16,400 --> 00:02:18,080
Speaker 1: What are your own personal expectations?

60
00:02:18,200 --> 00:02:21,160

62
00:02:23,280 --> 00:02:25,239
Speaker 2: years of my game. Ultimately, the main goal is to

63
00:02:25,280 --> 00:02:27,160
Speaker 2: win the Super Bowl. So whatever I can do to

64
00:02:27,160 --> 00:02:28,959
Speaker 2: help this team get to that, you know, that's my goal.

65
00:02:29,000 --> 00:02:30,960

Speaker 2: stepping on the field and showing what I've been working for.

69
00:02:38,480 --> 00:02:41,160
Speaker 1: The quality of competition, the team's changed from year to year.

70
00:02:41,280 --> 00:02:43,639

00:02:49,720 --> 00:02:51,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, they're a good team. You know, they

75
00:02:51,720 --> 00:02:53,560
Speaker 2: got a lot of new guys. You know, they got

76
00:02:53,600 --> 00:02:56,640
Speaker 2: they got Kirk Cousins and free agency and also drafted

77
00:02:56,680 --> 00:02:59,120
