Speaker 1: your size here. It's all about production, you know what

25
00:01:12,080 --> 00:01:14,760
Speaker 1: I'm saying. And you know, certain places look for you know,

26
00:01:14,920 --> 00:01:18,280
Speaker 1: certain sizes of you know, defensive ends, defensive tackles and

27
00:01:18,319 --> 00:01:19,600
Speaker 1: things of that nature. But at the end of the

00:02:36,160 --> 00:02:38,800
Speaker 1: describe your your playing style? I have My playing style.

56
00:02:39,320 --> 00:02:41,880
Speaker 1: Number one is having a high motor. I've been coached

57
00:02:41,880 --> 00:02:43,640
Speaker 1: should do that. Always have a high motor. You know,

58
00:02:43,919 --> 00:02:45,480
Speaker 1: no matter what the player is, if it's a run,

59
00:02:45,520 --> 00:02:47,200
Speaker 1: if it's a play action, always have a high motor.

60
00:02:47,240 --> 00:02:49,120

00:02:51,440 --> 00:02:54,280
Speaker 1: about you know, the traits as far as a player,

63
00:02:54,560 --> 00:02:56,280
Speaker 1: I want to talk about the trace as far as

64
00:02:56,280 --> 00:02:58,040
Speaker 1: being a teammate. I'm a guy that likes to push

65
00:02:58,080 --> 00:03:00,160
Speaker 1: my teammates. I'm a guy that likes to pract is

66
00:03:00,160 --> 00:03:03,480

Speaker 1: for everything. So that's one thing that I feel like

68
00:03:05,800 --> 00:03:08,120
Speaker 1: that I feel that stands out to me that practice

69
00:03:08,160 --> 00:03:10,040
Speaker 1: part and correct me if I'm wrong. You know, quity

70
00:03:10,080 --> 00:03:12,360
Speaker 1: pay a little bit. Yeah you know, Um, you know

71
00:03:12,560 --> 00:03:15,480
Speaker 1: another guy you know, similar origin, you know, African guy

72
00:03:15,520 --> 00:03:18,640
Speaker 1: like me, a pass rusher guy. He has really, really,

73
00:03:18,680 --> 00:03:20,480
Speaker 1: really a good tools to be able to be special.

74
00:03:20,520 --> 00:03:22,160
Speaker 1: So I'm just excited to be able to help him

75
00:03:22,200 --> 00:03:24,320
Speaker 1: grow his game. Well where do you think his game

76
00:03:24,360 --> 00:03:26,120
Speaker 1: can go? You know, you kind of get to be

77
00:03:26,760 --> 00:03:29,000
Speaker 1: you know that that guy in practice, that veteran presence

78
00:03:29,080 --> 00:03:31,040
Speaker 1: for him. Oh, you know, just you know the little

79
00:03:31,120 --> 00:03:33,120
Speaker 1: little nuances of the game, you know what I mean,

80
00:03:33,160 --> 00:03:35,560
Speaker 1: Like keen certain things so you can get off the

81
00:03:35,560 --> 00:03:38,200
Speaker 1: ball a little faster. I feel like, personally, as a

82
00:03:38,240 --> 00:03:41,200
Speaker 1: guy's been in this profession for six years, that seventy

83
00:03:41,200 --> 00:03:43,560
Speaker 1: percent of getting in the sack as you get off,

84
00:03:43,600 --> 00:03:45,680
Speaker 1: you know what I mean, the more dangerous you get off,

85
00:03:45,720 --> 00:03:47,800
Speaker 1: the more you can get around that corner. So you know,

86
00:03:47,960 --> 00:03:49,960
Speaker 1: just trying to like give knowledge like that man, anything,

87
00:03:50,120 --> 00:03:52,280
Speaker 1: anything he needs. Man, I'm here for him. Now. You've

88
00:03:52,320 --> 00:03:55,280
Speaker 1: you've had experience with you know, pretty impressive defensive tackles

89
00:03:55,280 --> 00:03:58,360
Speaker 1: in Klais Campbell and you're rejoined here with the Forest Buckner.

90
00:03:58,400 --> 00:04:00,120
Speaker 1: I know we're all excited to kind of see you

91
00:04:00,120 --> 00:04:02,040

92
00:04:02,080 --> 00:04:04,760
Speaker 1: plans to DeForest? Oh? Man, he's an animal, you know,

93
00:04:05,480 --> 00:04:08,120
Speaker 1: speaks for himself, all pro guy, guy that got that

94
00:04:08,200 --> 00:04:10,720
Speaker 1: makes crazy plays. And I'm pretty sure he's gonna want

95
00:04:10,720 --> 00:04:12,240
Speaker 1: to come to my side and Russia lote and I'm

96
00:04:12,240 --> 00:04:14,000
Speaker 1: pretty sure that I wouldn't want him going to the

97
00:04:14,000 --> 00:04:16,120
Speaker 1: other side. I want to be selfish people on my side.

98
00:04:16,600 --> 00:04:19,240
Speaker 1: So yeah, man, I'm super excited to play with that guy. Man,

99
00:04:19,279 --> 00:04:21,200
Speaker 1: he has a lot of a a lot of football, great

100
00:04:21,200 --> 00:04:23,080
Speaker 1: football left in him to play. And you've got a

101
00:04:23,080 --> 00:04:26,120
Speaker 1: long history with Gus Bradley was your head coach in Jacksonville,

102
00:04:26,120 --> 00:04:28,960
Speaker 1: your defensive coordinator last year with the Raiders. Now your

103
00:04:29,000 --> 00:04:31,800
Speaker 1: defensive coordinator again here with the Colts. What do you

104
00:04:32,160 --> 00:04:35,080
Speaker 1: most enjoy about Gus and this system? How does it

105
00:04:35,160 --> 00:04:39,120
Speaker 1: suit you as a player? Lena answer the second question. First, sure,

106
00:04:39,240 --> 00:04:42,240
Speaker 1: the system is I was drafting into the system, you know,

107
00:04:42,839 --> 00:04:45,159
Speaker 1: starting off in Jacksonville, being in that four to three scheme,

108
00:04:45,520 --> 00:04:50,039
Speaker 1: so super super familiar familiarity. Going back to the first

109
00:04:50,120 --> 00:04:52,600
Speaker 1: questions you asked as far as Gus, one thing that

110
00:04:52,640 --> 00:04:55,320
Speaker 1: I love about Coach Gus is I've seen him when

111
00:04:55,320 --> 00:04:57,000
Speaker 1: things are good and I've seen him when things are bad,

112
00:04:57,000 --> 00:04:58,760
Speaker 1: and he's the same guy. And it's hard to find

113
00:04:58,760 --> 00:05:00,920
Speaker 1: people like that, you know what I mean. So that's

114
00:05:00,920 --> 00:05:02,880
Speaker 1: somebody that I would love to play for, you know

115
00:05:03,040 --> 00:05:04,640
Speaker 1: god willing for the rest of my career, be a

116
00:05:04,640 --> 00:05:07,360
Speaker 1: coach for the rest of my career. And yeah, man,

117
00:05:07,480 --> 00:05:10,479
Speaker 1: great dude. One guy who you don't have experienced with

118
00:05:10,560 --> 00:05:11,760
Speaker 1: but is on the staff is going to be your

119
00:05:11,760 --> 00:05:13,040
Speaker 1: coach is Nate Alie. And I know you got a

120
00:05:13,040 --> 00:05:15,680
Speaker 1: little chance to chat with him today coming in here,

121
00:05:15,680 --> 00:05:18,560
Speaker 1: and he's talked about his attacking style, like, you know,

122
00:05:18,640 --> 00:05:20,679
Speaker 1: taking the seatbelt off. How do you think that fits

123
00:05:20,720 --> 00:05:22,880
Speaker 1: your game? I feel like if it's really well you know,

124
00:05:22,960 --> 00:05:26,680
Speaker 1: being able to have a great explosive explosion off the ball.

125
00:05:26,960 --> 00:05:30,520
Speaker 1: He's basically in allowing me to be able to flourish

126
00:05:30,560 --> 00:05:32,719
Speaker 1: with the talent I have. And we just briefly talked

127
00:05:32,760 --> 00:05:35,039
Speaker 1: and we're so excited to be able to work with

128
00:05:35,080 --> 00:05:37,719
Speaker 1: each other. We've come across similar circles, you know what

129
00:05:37,760 --> 00:05:40,440
Speaker 1: I mean. Even my position coach Marylin my last year

130
00:05:40,480 --> 00:05:42,920
Speaker 1: was coach chat Wilton. He had the opportunity to be

131
00:05:42,960 --> 00:05:45,039
Speaker 1: coached by him as well. So you know, it's crazy

132
00:05:45,080 --> 00:05:48,440
Speaker 1: how things come full circle. Unique Congackway is our guest

133

135
00:05:54,760 --> 00:05:57,200
Speaker 1: more than one game in a season. How do you
