Uh. It's a gift. Uh, and I won't 4 00:00:10,360 --> 00:00:13,960 Speaker 1: take it for granted. However many plays I'm playing, if 5 00:00:13,960 --> 00:00:18,240 Speaker 1: I got played through the fourth quarter or whatever it is, Man, 6 00:00:18,280 --> 00:00:20,320 Speaker 1: I'm gonna I'm gonna give it my all and and 7 00:00:20,440 --> 00:00:24,160 Speaker 1: my best. Uh. You know, Uh, you never know when 8 00:00:24,160 --> 00:00:35,920 Speaker 1: it's your last place, So take advantage of all of them. Uh. 9 00:00:36,159 --> 00:00:39,120 Speaker 1: It's it's don't feel good, you know. Uh, you just 10 00:00:39,159 --> 00:00:41,599 Speaker 1: get to let it go a little bit more. You know. 11 00:00:42,240 --> 00:00:45,800 Speaker 1: You just you started ramping up. You're ramping up, and 12 00:00:45,960 --> 00:00:50,159 Speaker 1: uh you just fine tuning until you get to the 13 00:00:50,200 --> 00:00:53,320 Speaker 1: first preseason's preseason game and you get to hit somebody else. 14 00:01:11,200 --> 00:01:14,759 Speaker 1: We Uh, just like I said, man, you take every 15 00:01:14,760 --> 00:01:19,200 Speaker 1: opportunity and you give it to the most. You don't 16 00:01:19,200 --> 00:01:21,200 Speaker 1: want to put bad film out there. It doesn't matter 17 00:01:21,200 --> 00:01:25,440 Speaker 1: if it's preseason, the fifth game of the season somebody, 18 00:01:25,800 --> 00:01:29,040 Speaker 1: and that's all you're playing a team that's onwing something 19 00:01:29,200 --> 00:01:33,000 Speaker 1: or if you guys on something. When you go out there, Uh, 20 00:01:33,080 --> 00:01:35,920 Speaker 1: that film last forever. You know. We can pull up 21 00:01:35,959 --> 00:01:40,400 Speaker 1: film from LT or Warren sapp or any of the greats, 22 00:01:40,680 --> 00:01:43,840 Speaker 1: and whenever they go out there, Uh, and that's that 23 00:01:44,000 --> 00:01:53,440 Speaker 1: eye and the sky is on, they perform it should 24 00:01:53,960 --> 00:01:56,800 Speaker 1: I don't know. And uh, that's that's his guy. You know, 25 00:01:56,880 --> 00:01:59,920 Speaker 1: he coached him, and that was probably one of them 26 00:02:00,080 --> 00:02:01,840 Speaker 1: many greats he coached, but that was one of the 27 00:02:01,840 --> 00:02:04,840 Speaker 1: first ones he coached. It got the opportunity to spend 28 00:02:04,880 --> 00:02:07,680 Speaker 1: a lot of time with, so you know, he he's 29 00:02:07,720 --> 00:02:22,359 Speaker 1: finding uh Coach Belichick's heart. I think when when the 30 00:02:22,480 --> 00:02:25,720 Speaker 1: games play, we just come together just a little bit more. 31 00:02:26,120 --> 00:02:29,800 Speaker 1: Uh every rep. Uh. You know, when when you're in Indie, 32 00:02:29,800 --> 00:02:32,600 Speaker 1: it's by yourself, and when you're working out, it's by yourself. 33 00:02:32,680 --> 00:02:35,680 Speaker 1: But every time you strip up and put put on 34 00:02:35,720 --> 00:02:39,840 Speaker 1: them pads, uh, you you start to jail together. And 35 00:02:39,960 --> 00:02:41,960 Speaker 1: uh that's what we're gonna do. And we're gonna see 36 00:02:42,040 --> 00:02:45,160 Speaker 1: how how fast we jail together and play well with 37 00:02:45,200 --> 00:02:47,560 Speaker 1: each other. Uh when we when we come out here 38 00:02:47,600 --> 00:02:59,240 Speaker 1: this Thursday night. Uh, what the what my teammates I think, 39 00:02:59,320 --> 00:03:03,000 Speaker 1: I think great Dad set me for who I am. 40 00:03:03,480 --> 00:03:06,080 Speaker 1: I haven't had to change for anyone or change my 41 00:03:06,120 --> 00:03:08,840 Speaker 1: playing style. I just had to fit it within the 42 00:03:08,919 --> 00:03:12,400 Speaker 1: scheme and I think I'm doing well so far, but uh, 43 00:03:13,600 --> 00:03:32,720 Speaker 1: you know, I guess you got to ask them for real, right, 44 00:03:33,160 --> 00:03:36,560 Speaker 1: oh man. So with any football game, you know, we're 45 00:03:36,560 --> 00:03:38,960 Speaker 1: gonna have reporters there and y'all gonna report what y'all see. 46 00:03:39,280 --> 00:03:41,880 Speaker 1: And if I come out there and look sloppy, uh, y'all, 47 00:03:41,920 --> 00:03:44,080 Speaker 1: that's what y'all gonna report, and that's what y'all should report, 48 00:03:44,160 --> 00:03:46,720 Speaker 1: and y'all shouldn't say y'all shouldn't preferace it with well, 49 00:03:46,840 --> 00:03:49,360 Speaker 1: but it was preseason, you know. So when I come 50 00:03:49,360 --> 00:03:51,400 Speaker 1: out here, I have to do my job and I 51 00:03:51,440 --> 00:03:54,480 Speaker 1: have to perform well. And so I think everybody on 52 00:03:54,520 --> 00:03:57,840 Speaker 1: the defense is gonna take that mindset. And when we 53 00:03:57,880 --> 00:04:00,480 Speaker 1: come out here, we have to look as a unit 54 00:04:00,600 --> 00:04:14,480 Speaker 1: as a team. Uh no, Uh, well, actually it does. 55 00:04:14,520 --> 00:04:18,159 Speaker 1: We have left opportunity to come together before the talents 56 00:04:18,279 --> 00:04:23,120 Speaker 1: really start to count. And so, uh you know, you 57 00:04:23,120 --> 00:04:26,280 Speaker 1: you might usually high goals. You used to be like 58 00:04:26,320 --> 00:04:28,760 Speaker 1: you kind of play the first one a little more 59 00:04:28,920 --> 00:04:30,520 Speaker 1: than a little more the third, and then you might 60 00:04:30,560 --> 00:04:34,160 Speaker 1: not play the fourth one, and so now we might 61 00:04:34,240 --> 00:04:36,160 Speaker 1: not play the third one. Like, I don't know how 62 00:04:36,200 --> 00:04:38,120 Speaker 1: it's gonna go. I have no clue how it's gonna go. 63 00:04:38,480 --> 00:04:41,280 Speaker 1: But just know that what every snap you get and 64 00:04:41,360 --> 00:04:45,240 Speaker 1: what every every opportunity you have to take it, uh 65 00:04:45,279 --> 00:04:48,679 Speaker 1: seriously because you don't know how the preseason is gonna 66 00:04:48,880 --> 00:04:51,520 Speaker 1: play out. Because there's our first one one only three 67 00:04:57,480 --> 00:05:01,520 Speaker 1: uh I mean yeah, like condition and wise Yeah yeah, 68 00:05:01,560 --> 00:05:05,160 Speaker 1: I mean extra running.

Uh and then also uh mentally you know, 73 00:05:19,560 --> 00:05:22,640 Speaker 1: mentally decompressing and when you have to turn it on, 74 00:05:22,880 --> 00:05:25,840 Speaker 1: mentally waking up, being being ready so when you come 75 00:05:25,880 --> 00:05:29,040 Speaker 1: in this building, be ready for whatever the challenge is 76 00:05:29,080 --> 00:05:44,680 Speaker 1: gonna be ahead of you.
