1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:01,920
Speaker 1: At this point you got to firm enough grasp of

2
00:00:02,040 --> 00:00:04,240
Speaker 1: the defense that you can just go play as fast

3
00:00:04,240 --> 00:00:05,040
Speaker 1: as you want to play.

4
00:00:05,680 --> 00:00:08,559
Speaker 2: You know, I would say I got a good grasp

5
00:00:08,560 --> 00:00:10,400
Speaker 2: of how the defense goes are now I think right

6
00:00:10,400 --> 00:00:13,200
Speaker 2: now is just maximizing my opportunities when I go in there,

7
00:00:13,280 --> 00:00:15,600
Speaker 2: and uh, just kind of you know, making plays at

8
00:00:15,600 --> 00:00:19,079
Speaker 2: the end of the day. What's the challenge that I think,

9
00:00:19,200 --> 00:00:20,799
Speaker 2: you know, just staying on top of the playbook. You know,

10
00:00:20,800 --> 00:00:23,239
Speaker 2: there's always going to be some type of transition throughout it,

11
00:00:23,280 --> 00:00:25,160
Speaker 2: So just kind of locking in on the details and

12
00:00:25,480 --> 00:00:28,960
Speaker 2: like I said, you know, maximizing those wouldn't.

13
00:00:28,680 --> 00:00:31,920
Speaker 3: Been able to glean from Fred and and Drake Greenlaw

14
00:00:31,920 --> 00:00:32,360
Speaker 3: on that room.

15
00:00:32,760 --> 00:00:35,320
Speaker 2: I think, you know, just being able to you know, identify,

16
00:00:35,640 --> 00:00:37,640
Speaker 2: you know, certain keys off the offensive line. You know,

17
00:00:37,720 --> 00:00:40,720
Speaker 2: what do they like to do in particular downs, Like

18
00:00:40,760 --> 00:00:43,440
Speaker 2: if they're heavy on their hands, you know, light stuff

19
00:00:43,479 --> 00:00:45,760
Speaker 2: like that. I think those little details, you know, with

20
00:00:45,840 --> 00:00:47,839
Speaker 2: Dre and Fred, I think they you know, help me

21
00:00:47,840 --> 00:00:49,680
Speaker 2: improve on reading those keys quicker.

22
00:00:50,840 --> 00:00:53,560
Speaker 1: You know much about about Fred and Dre before you

23
00:00:53,600 --> 00:00:53,920
Speaker 1: got here.

24
00:00:54,480 --> 00:00:57,440
Speaker 2: Uh. I actually kept up with Fred when I was

25
00:00:57,640 --> 00:01:00,000
Speaker 2: probably when I transition to the linebacker position. My friend

26
00:01:00,160 --> 00:01:01,840
Speaker 2: me in college, I started watching him a little bit

27
00:01:02,320 --> 00:01:05,000
Speaker 2: and it's kind of amazing how you know, God works

28
00:01:05,040 --> 00:01:06,479
Speaker 2: and kind of put me in the room to learn

29
00:01:06,480 --> 00:01:08,720
Speaker 2: from him. So definitely grateful for that opportunity.

30
00:01:09,319 --> 00:01:12,000
Speaker 1: So what's that been like for you? Can you kind

31
00:01:12,040 --> 00:01:16,560
Speaker 1: of identify just being familiar with him to now knowing

32
00:01:16,640 --> 00:01:19,600
Speaker 1: him and seeing why he's as good as he is.

33
00:01:19,800 --> 00:01:22,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, he comes to work every day, man, same energy

34
00:01:22,360 --> 00:01:24,479
Speaker 2: every day, and you know, I think that's just something

35
00:01:24,480 --> 00:01:28,240
Speaker 2: that us rookies see, like me and Jalen, and you know,

36
00:01:28,280 --> 00:01:30,440
Speaker 2: we look up to him and we kind of want to,

37
00:01:30,800 --> 00:01:32,480
Speaker 2: you know, prevail our game like him.

38
00:01:33,280 --> 00:01:36,360
Speaker 4: Your position in high school before linebacker.

39
00:01:35,920 --> 00:01:39,280
Speaker 2: Uh, pretty much everything I played, quarterback, running back, receiver.

40
00:01:39,959 --> 00:01:43,679
Speaker 2: Uh played somewhat of a safety position. Coach pretty much

41
00:01:43,720 --> 00:01:45,320
Speaker 2: lined me up in a you know, deep third and

42
00:01:45,360 --> 00:01:47,080
Speaker 2: tell me don't let anyone behind you. So that was

43
00:01:47,080 --> 00:01:47,520
Speaker 2: about it.

44
00:01:48,000 --> 00:01:49,840
Speaker 4: Linebacker room here, it seems that a lot of the

45
00:01:49,880 --> 00:01:51,680
Speaker 4: guys have a dB like background.

46
00:01:51,880 --> 00:01:52,200
Speaker 1: M M.

47
00:01:53,040 --> 00:01:56,160
Speaker 4: Just even Fred in college seemed to play kind of

48
00:01:56,200 --> 00:01:58,600
Speaker 4: a dB like position. Is that something that you guys

49
00:01:59,080 --> 00:02:02,160
Speaker 4: talk about that all you supposedly I think can cover

50
00:02:02,200 --> 00:02:04,440
Speaker 4: and run because you do come from that background.

51
00:02:04,520 --> 00:02:06,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think he just like versatile players, you know

52
00:02:07,000 --> 00:02:10,120
Speaker 2: who linebackers who can cover in you know, running, you know,

53
00:02:10,320 --> 00:02:12,639
Speaker 2: hit players. So I think that's just something that they

54
00:02:12,639 --> 00:02:14,320
Speaker 2: find huge in the linebacker corps.

55
00:02:16,200 --> 00:02:18,799
Speaker 3: In the National semi you were just shooting gaps and

56
00:02:19,240 --> 00:02:21,120
Speaker 3: getting in the backfield. I'm just kind of wondering, is

57
00:02:21,160 --> 00:02:24,440
Speaker 3: that is that all film study? You know, like when

58
00:02:24,440 --> 00:02:25,680
Speaker 3: you see it you don't hesitate.

59
00:02:26,080 --> 00:02:28,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, it was pretty much all film study. You know,

60
00:02:29,000 --> 00:02:32,240
Speaker 2: our coaches told us their O lineman anytime it's a run,

61
00:02:32,280 --> 00:02:34,560
Speaker 2: you know, they're pretty heavy on their hands, so to

62
00:02:34,600 --> 00:02:36,399
Speaker 2: just trust your instincts and you know, just go play

63
00:02:36,400 --> 00:02:38,519
Speaker 2: football and have fun. And I think that's uh the

64
00:02:38,560 --> 00:02:40,080
Speaker 2: biggest thing that I did at that game, and I

65
00:02:40,160 --> 00:02:46,120
Speaker 2: kind of maximized every opportunity that I gots red. All right,

66
00:02:46,120 --> 00:02:47,240
Speaker 2: thank you, Thanks
