1
00:00:01,120 --> 00:00:07,080
Speaker 1: Knocking down passing to what can you retreat? You that

2
00:00:07,200 --> 00:00:11,119
Speaker 1: ability is just instinct. I mean, it's just a force,

3
00:00:11,200 --> 00:00:13,600
Speaker 1: a habit. Like you know a lot of the times,

4
00:00:13,680 --> 00:00:15,680
Speaker 1: like I always think, get my hands up if I

5
00:00:15,720 --> 00:00:17,919
Speaker 1: can't get all the way to the quarterback. So you know,

6
00:00:17,960 --> 00:00:20,200
Speaker 1: I've been doing it since college, even through walk throughs

7
00:00:20,280 --> 00:00:22,479
Speaker 1: when uh, the quarterback is not actually throwing the ball,

8
00:00:22,520 --> 00:00:24,400
Speaker 1: I still try to get my hands up, just assimilar

9
00:00:24,440 --> 00:00:26,400
Speaker 1: to habit. And like I thought a while, it just

10
00:00:26,600 --> 00:00:28,040
Speaker 1: you just stick your hand up there, and I thought,

11
00:00:28,040 --> 00:00:34,600
Speaker 1: while you're gonna get one of them. So do you

12
00:00:34,880 --> 00:00:36,560
Speaker 1: from the little bit that you've seen in the NFL

13
00:00:36,640 --> 00:00:38,839
Speaker 1: so far, are you convinced that you can make an

14
00:00:38,840 --> 00:00:42,280
Speaker 1: impact on the pass rushing? H Yeah, definitely, you know

15
00:00:42,320 --> 00:00:44,000
Speaker 1: what I'm saying. I've been practiced for a while. I'm

16
00:00:44,000 --> 00:00:45,640
Speaker 1: pretty sure the game is a lot faster, and I'm

17
00:00:45,640 --> 00:00:47,480
Speaker 1: pretty sure that's a whole another step I gotta take.

18
00:00:47,560 --> 00:00:49,880
Speaker 1: But you know, from going through practice, I definitely feel

19
00:00:49,920 --> 00:00:51,839
Speaker 1: like a compete, not only as a pass rusher, but

20
00:00:51,880 --> 00:00:54,160
Speaker 1: any anywhere the team needs me, whether it be special teams.

21
00:00:54,200 --> 00:00:55,200
Speaker 1: I feel like I can do it, and I do

22
00:00:55,280 --> 00:00:57,440
Speaker 1: that at a high level. The biggest question, obviously that

23
00:00:57,440 --> 00:00:59,960
Speaker 1: everybody had for you was coming from a smaller school,

24
00:01:00,040 --> 00:01:02,800
Speaker 1: a smaller program. Has it felt like a pretty big

25
00:01:02,880 --> 00:01:07,560
Speaker 1: jump for you so far? Oh? I mean I feel

26
00:01:07,600 --> 00:01:09,679
Speaker 1: like the biggest jump was the playbook and like the

27
00:01:09,720 --> 00:01:12,840
Speaker 1: complexity of it. I mean, it wasn't really that complex

28
00:01:12,840 --> 00:01:14,520
Speaker 1: at Odu. I felt that was the biggest jump. But

29
00:01:14,520 --> 00:01:16,200
Speaker 1: once you get out on the field, it's just football,

30
00:01:16,240 --> 00:01:18,160
Speaker 1: man Like, no matter who you're playing against. You know,

31
00:01:18,160 --> 00:01:19,520
Speaker 1: I'm saying, it's the same thing you've been doing your

32
00:01:19,520 --> 00:01:22,000
Speaker 1: whole life. You know, obviously that people have a lot

33
00:01:22,040 --> 00:01:24,080
Speaker 1: of questions about this defense, what it can do, what

34
00:01:24,120 --> 00:01:26,720
Speaker 1: kind of pass ruction can generate? From what you've seen

35
00:01:26,920 --> 00:01:28,840
Speaker 1: the talent around you. How good do you think this

36
00:01:28,920 --> 00:01:31,039
Speaker 1: defense can be? Well, I think we have an opportunity

37
00:01:31,040 --> 00:01:33,600
Speaker 1: to be very good. Uh Coach Betch, Like I said, man,

38
00:01:33,600 --> 00:01:35,240
Speaker 1: he's a genius when it comes to it. Like he

39
00:01:35,280 --> 00:01:38,600
Speaker 1: knows every little part of defense, like inside and out.

40
00:01:38,680 --> 00:01:41,679
Speaker 1: So like he's doing a great job every day coming

41
00:01:41,720 --> 00:01:43,520
Speaker 1: in and having something that we need to get better

42
00:01:43,560 --> 00:01:45,039
Speaker 1: at in practice. And we come out here and try

43
00:01:45,040 --> 00:01:47,120
Speaker 1: to ascute what you're doing. And if we keep doing that,

44
00:01:47,440 --> 00:01:49,880
Speaker 1: we're gonna be really good. Is it a complicated playbook

45
00:01:49,960 --> 00:01:53,000
Speaker 1: or just a lot to learn your first year? It's

46
00:01:53,000 --> 00:01:55,040
Speaker 1: probably not complicated for the guys I've been doing it

47
00:01:55,080 --> 00:01:56,880
Speaker 1: for a long time. But for me, I'll say it's

48
00:01:56,880 --> 00:01:58,920
Speaker 1: complicated just because it's my first time and I'm playing

49
00:01:58,920 --> 00:02:03,360
Speaker 1: a new position. Thank you appreciating give me you the

50
00:02:03,360 --> 00:02:08,440
Speaker 1: best advice, mentoring you. Uh um, Like all the older

51
00:02:08,440 --> 00:02:11,160
Speaker 1: guys been helping me out. You know, Lorenzo you know, uh,

52
00:02:11,360 --> 00:02:13,760
Speaker 1: Marcus Golden, you know, he told me about how he

53
00:02:13,880 --> 00:02:15,919
Speaker 1: was in Arizona. Like I always asked Hi about his

54
00:02:15,960 --> 00:02:18,919
Speaker 1: toils last season he had you know, Kaem Martin. He

55
00:02:19,000 --> 00:02:21,359
Speaker 1: knows the Playboy inside and out, so like he when

56
00:02:21,360 --> 00:02:23,040
Speaker 1: I have a question about the playbook, guy just asked

57
00:02:23,120 --> 00:02:25,080
Speaker 1: him and like he had to answer for me right

58
00:02:25,080 --> 00:02:27,120
Speaker 1: off the bat. And like I said, so, like he

59
00:02:27,160 --> 00:02:29,000
Speaker 1: was just in my shoes last year. So when I'm

60
00:02:29,000 --> 00:02:31,000
Speaker 1: falling down mentally, I feel like he's more the mental

61
00:02:31,240 --> 00:02:33,680
Speaker 1: got to help bring me up. A great advice you, befa,

62
00:02:33,720 --> 00:02:39,079
Speaker 1: you see him so far? Best advice you so far? Uh.

63
00:02:39,120 --> 00:02:40,960
Speaker 1: The thing that kind of my head is a coach.

64
00:02:41,000 --> 00:02:43,480
Speaker 1: Basch actually said it, and he said, uh, we got

65
00:02:43,520 --> 00:02:46,040
Speaker 1: you here, won't keep you here. So that's something that

66
00:02:46,080 --> 00:02:48,440
Speaker 1: really stuck out to me. And you know, it's it's true.

67
00:02:48,639 --> 00:02:51,200
Speaker 1: Like going through college, you know what I'm saying, it

68
00:02:51,320 --> 00:02:53,320
Speaker 1: was it was pretty easy, but now I gotta take

69
00:02:53,360 --> 00:02:55,800
Speaker 1: another step to stay here and want to contribute to

70
00:02:55,800 --> 00:03:00,040
Speaker 1: this defense. Speaking about that next step, Getleman said of

71
00:03:00,080 --> 00:03:01,760
Speaker 1: the day that a lot of the young guys, you know,

72
00:03:01,800 --> 00:03:04,640
Speaker 1: yourself included, at some point you need to kind of

73
00:03:04,720 --> 00:03:08,320
Speaker 1: make a play to build your confidence. Have you sort

74
00:03:08,360 --> 00:03:11,079
Speaker 1: of had a player a moment yet in camp where

75
00:03:11,120 --> 00:03:13,520
Speaker 1: you said, hey, you know, I can actually do this.

76
00:03:14,840 --> 00:03:17,440
Speaker 1: Uh honestly, I feel like it was after my first play,

77
00:03:18,040 --> 00:03:21,160
Speaker 1: But I feel like practice don't really count. So like

78
00:03:21,200 --> 00:03:22,959
Speaker 1: when when I get in preseason one, I feel like

79
00:03:23,040 --> 00:03:25,400
Speaker 1: that's when I'm really gonna have that feeling. But you know,

80
00:03:25,440 --> 00:03:27,520
Speaker 1: the first play and practice and I went out there

81
00:03:27,520 --> 00:03:29,280
Speaker 1: and I was okay, you know, it's after the place.

82
00:03:29,280 --> 00:03:31,480
Speaker 1: So I felt like that's when I really decided I

83
00:03:31,480 --> 00:03:32,639
Speaker 1: could play. I could do it here.
