8

Speaker 1: Football League roster? H handfuls from freshman year until now? Yeah,

9
00:00:39,440 --> 00:00:44,760

10
00:00:44,800 --> 00:00:50,000

12
00:00:53,680 --> 00:00:58,280
Speaker 1: guys you know? You know they have actually played up

13
00:00:58,960 --> 00:01:01,800
Speaker 1: in regular season games, so they're playing regular seating the

14
00:01:01,840 --> 00:01:04,360
Speaker 1: games like yourself because you had taken a long road

15
00:01:04,360 --> 00:01:07,720
Speaker 1: in the National Football League and became a fan favorite

16
00:01:07,800 --> 00:01:10,960
Speaker 1: quickly with the Jets. Can you tell us a little

17
00:01:11,000 --> 00:01:13,959
Speaker 1: bit about the back story because it all started here

18
00:01:14,000 --> 00:01:18,760
Speaker 1: a couple of years ago on two thousand and thirteen. Man. Shoot, Uh,

19
00:01:18,959 --> 00:01:21,280
Speaker 1: first of all, a small school you know that had

20
00:01:21,319 --> 00:01:23,400
Speaker 1: to overcome that sitting out for two years out of

21
00:01:23,480 --> 00:01:27,880
Speaker 1: high school, um, and come in here gaining trust by

22
00:01:27,920 --> 00:01:29,600
Speaker 1: Rex Rand you know what I mean, building up on

23
00:01:29,680 --> 00:01:33,440
Speaker 1: the trust and showing him I could play. Two injuries

24
00:01:33,760 --> 00:01:35,840
Speaker 1: set back both of my seasons with Rex, and then

25
00:01:35,880 --> 00:01:38,240
Speaker 1: the third coming into the third season, the whole coach change,

26
00:01:38,360 --> 00:01:39,960
Speaker 1: so you know what I mean. It was a up

27
00:01:39,959 --> 00:01:42,560
Speaker 1: feel batter the whole town. But um, Tom Bowls told

28
00:01:42,600 --> 00:01:44,720
Speaker 1: me he liked what he saw and he's gonna give

29
00:01:44,760 --> 00:01:47,040
Speaker 1: me my opportunity. So all I could do is capitalize

30
00:01:47,080 --> 00:01:50,160
Speaker 1: on it. How do you keep going? How do you

31
00:01:50,240 --> 00:01:52,640
Speaker 1: keep motivating? How do you keep getting into that fight

32
00:01:52,640 --> 00:01:56,080
Speaker 1: where their days where you said I don't know if

33
00:01:56,080 --> 00:01:57,440
Speaker 1: I could do this. I want to play. I want

34
00:01:57,440 --> 00:01:59,160
Speaker 1: to show what I could do. And what keeps you going?

35
00:01:59,200 --> 00:02:01,640
Speaker 1: For gosh, when we're we're listening, who you don't get

36
00:02:01,640 --> 00:02:03,920
Speaker 1: down on any fast of the life doesn't have to

37
00:02:03,960 --> 00:02:07,240
Speaker 1: be your sports frontest And this keeps me going. I

38
00:02:07,320 --> 00:02:09,520
Speaker 1: was just say, I haven't had a chip on my

39
00:02:09,520 --> 00:02:11,840
Speaker 1: shoulder since I had to go to a small school,

40
00:02:11,919 --> 00:02:14,720
Speaker 1: not being able to hum passing s a tease again

41
00:02:14,720 --> 00:02:16,600
Speaker 1: into a Division one school, so I had to settle

42
00:02:16,639 --> 00:02:18,639
Speaker 1: for a small school and guys telling me I'm couldn't

43
00:02:18,639 --> 00:02:21,079
Speaker 1: make it. You know, There's been plenty of times I'm like, man,

44
00:02:21,120 --> 00:02:23,760
Speaker 1: this is It really takes a beating on you mentally

45
00:02:23,800 --> 00:02:26,080
Speaker 1: when you feel like you're you could play and you

46
00:02:26,080 --> 00:02:28,280
Speaker 1: can start in this league, but you keep getting pushed back,

47
00:02:28,320 --> 00:02:30,520
Speaker 1: and not only that, you don't even have opportunity to

48
00:02:30,600 --> 00:02:33,240
Speaker 1: show you could play though. But um, it's just for me.

49
00:02:33,360 --> 00:02:34,920
Speaker 1: Is is always had a chip on my shoulder and

50
00:02:34,960 --> 00:02:36,880
Speaker 1: I'm one of those guys You're telling me I can't

51
00:02:36,919 --> 00:02:39,720
Speaker 1: do something. I'm trying to do it, not stop until

52
00:02:39,800 --> 00:02:42,080
Speaker 1: I do it. So I'm it's just all about proving

53
00:02:42,080 --> 00:02:44,840
Speaker 1: everybody wrong, but also for my family and letting everybody

54
00:02:44,840 --> 00:02:46,840
Speaker 1: know where I'm from. There you can do anything if

55
00:02:46,880 --> 00:02:49,160
Speaker 1: you put your mind to it. So it's a lot.

56
00:02:49,760 --> 00:02:52,040
Speaker 1: A couple of weeks ago, you made your first stun

57
00:02:52,080 --> 00:02:56,720
Speaker 1: if I start against the Buffalow Bills prime time Thursday night.

58
00:02:57,400 --> 00:03:00,120
Speaker 1: What was that experience like for you? Ron to us?

59
00:03:00,200 --> 00:03:03,520
Speaker 1: And what about when you walked out of the tunnel

60
00:03:03,560 --> 00:03:06,839
Speaker 1: that night and said, you know, here it is. It's

61
00:03:06,880 --> 00:03:09,519
Speaker 1: been such a long journey and here I am and

62
00:03:09,600 --> 00:03:12,960
Speaker 1: the NFL and I'm going out and and I'm not

63
00:03:13,040 --> 00:03:17,120
Speaker 1: just I'm gonna make a few contributions tonight. I'm gonna

64
00:03:17,280 --> 00:03:21,400
Speaker 1: be playing at every down. Man, I was. I was

65
00:03:21,480 --> 00:03:24,040
Speaker 1: pumped the all time. I couldn't sit still. I mean,

66
00:03:24,200 --> 00:03:26,160
Speaker 1: crazy thing is I wasn't you know you're going to

67
00:03:26,240 --> 00:03:28,400
Speaker 1: a game, ye jitters a little bit. You trying to

68
00:03:29,000 --> 00:03:31,440
Speaker 1: first hit always wakes you up. But I was. I was.

69
00:03:31,600 --> 00:03:34,600
Speaker 1: I was awoke from the jump, like coming out the tunnel,

70
00:03:34,600 --> 00:03:36,800
Speaker 1: of the vibration of the crowd, you know, hearing your

71
00:03:36,840 --> 00:03:39,880
Speaker 1: name get called, coming through the smoke and goose bumps,

72
00:03:39,880 --> 00:03:41,839
Speaker 1: and it just felt I felt so natural. I feel

73
00:03:41,880 --> 00:03:45,200
Speaker 1: like I belonged, and probably at all games I played

74
00:03:45,760 --> 00:03:47,760
Speaker 1: in my pro career that that was the most comfortable

75
00:03:47,800 --> 00:03:50,360
Speaker 1: as I've ever been. And also go play against you,

76
00:03:50,440 --> 00:03:53,920
Speaker 1: your former coaching staff and oh your former players. So

77
00:03:53,960 --> 00:03:56,200
Speaker 1: it was kind of like I wasn't just doing it

78
00:03:56,240 --> 00:03:58,119
Speaker 1: for me. I was there to show not only tall

79
00:03:58,200 --> 00:03:59,680
Speaker 1: bowls and e just to have I can play with

80
00:03:59,680 --> 00:04:02,360
Speaker 1: the show, exting them what I was. Finally showed them

81
00:04:02,360 --> 00:04:04,120
Speaker 1: like what I could have been infat that opportunity with

82
00:04:04,160 --> 00:04:07,040
Speaker 1: them as well. So it was it was everything. That

83
00:04:07,120 --> 00:04:10,800
Speaker 1: game was everything. So it's definitely a good one. Protests

84
00:04:10,800 --> 00:04:13,160
Speaker 1: about Prussia Tilton in the National Football League, you play

85
00:04:13,240 --> 00:04:16,800
Speaker 1: defense on the practice squad, you're on special teams. Talk

86
00:04:16,839 --> 00:04:21,240
Speaker 1: about being being able to do contributions at different facets

87
00:04:21,279 --> 00:04:23,400
Speaker 1: on the football tape and how important that is. It

88
00:04:23,480 --> 00:04:27,599
Speaker 1: was very important, man, it's um I would contribute anyway.

89
00:04:27,960 --> 00:04:29,760
Speaker 1: First of all, how to hold the ball for the

90
00:04:30,000 --> 00:04:31,440
Speaker 1: for the kicker, I would you know what I mean,

91
00:04:31,560 --> 00:04:33,800
Speaker 1: I hold the clipboard. I just want to be a

92
00:04:33,800 --> 00:04:36,880
Speaker 1: part of the team. You know, no contribute to a win.

93
00:04:37,000 --> 00:04:39,720
Speaker 1: But um also even when practice squad when I played,

94
00:04:39,760 --> 00:04:42,360
Speaker 1: we would lose some corners, a lot of guys went down.

95
00:04:42,520 --> 00:04:44,960
Speaker 1: I would go cover be Marshall for a whole week

96
00:04:45,040 --> 00:04:47,560
Speaker 1: or two weeks straight, and um, I took it as

97
00:04:47,600 --> 00:04:49,320
Speaker 1: that's just me working on my man coverage. You know,

98
00:04:49,520 --> 00:04:50,839
Speaker 1: you know what I mean. The game I got active,

99
00:04:51,040 --> 00:04:54,640
Speaker 1: coach Joe told me, like, man, you're covering the tight end.

100
00:04:54,640 --> 00:04:56,440
Speaker 1: I've seen you run with the Marshall like a whole

101
00:04:56,440 --> 00:04:58,080
Speaker 1: week straight, so this should be nothing, you know what

102
00:04:58,080 --> 00:04:59,600
Speaker 1: I mean, just to show them guys, I could do

103
00:04:59,680 --> 00:05:02,359
Speaker 1: multiple things and however I get help give him the

104
00:05:02,360 --> 00:05:06,599
Speaker 1: best look. Even Scout team special teams coach Bobby always

105
00:05:06,600 --> 00:05:08,520
Speaker 1: made me be the fast guy running down feeling them

106
00:05:08,520 --> 00:05:09,960
Speaker 1: if I'm gonna give him a look, And I try

107
00:05:10,000 --> 00:05:11,800
Speaker 1: to tell the guys, I'm I'm doing it to help

108
00:05:11,880 --> 00:05:14,560
Speaker 1: you know what I mean. And sometimes you bump hids

109
00:05:14,600 --> 00:05:16,560
Speaker 1: to get real physical on the food and aggressive, but

110
00:05:16,680 --> 00:05:18,240
Speaker 1: at the end of the day, we already get better.

111
00:05:18,960 --> 00:05:22,240
Speaker 1: Special teams came up with big play Sunday against the

112
00:05:22,240 --> 00:05:26,920
Speaker 1: Miami Dolphin since Jeremy Curly broke one kinda hit behind

113
00:05:26,920 --> 00:05:29,400

120
00:05:52,920 --> 00:05:55,160
Speaker 1: of don't pay attention to, but can really change the

121
00:05:55,240 --> 00:05:59,000
Speaker 1: game field position as well. And he was rolling yesterday.

122

00:06:11,080 --> 00:06:13,520
Speaker 1: We set the wall right. He made a guy miss

128
00:06:13,560 --> 00:06:15,160

136
00:06:32,440 --> 00:06:34,960
Speaker 1: the fans when you say the guys want to have fun,

137
00:06:35,560 --> 00:06:37,839
Speaker 1: because this I mean in this business, you know, there's

138
00:06:37,839 --> 00:06:39,520
Speaker 1: a lot of things you go worry about, and there's

139
00:06:39,520 --> 00:06:41,160
Speaker 1: a lot of things that you can't control at the

140
00:06:41,200 --> 00:06:43,880
Speaker 1: same time, and sometimes you get caught up worrying about

141
00:06:43,880 --> 00:06:46,240
Speaker 1: it too much. You get caught him thinking about things

142
00:06:46,240 --> 00:06:48,680
Speaker 1: the wrong way, or thinking about your next step or

143
00:06:48,680 --> 00:06:50,880

Speaker 1: you know what I mean, everything in your life that's

145
00:06:52,720 --> 00:06:55,920

Speaker 1: up football or even for its high school college, you

147
00:06:59,240 --> 00:07:01,080
Speaker 1: know what I mean, it's a business now, But back then,

148
00:07:01,080 --> 00:07:03,120
Speaker 1: when you play football, there was no worry in the world.

149
00:07:03,240 --> 00:07:04,919
Speaker 1: Like the sanctuary. When you were out there, you just

150
00:07:04,920 --> 00:07:07,960
Speaker 1: having fun. You and your guys rallied around each other

151
00:07:08,000 --> 00:07:09,800
Speaker 1: and we kind of just wanted to get back out.

152
00:07:09,880 --> 00:07:12,120
Speaker 1: We were playing in a preseason. We was having fun.

00:07:15,400 --> 00:07:19,160
Speaker 1: gonna be here. Everybody was playing well. From the first drink,

155
00:07:19,200 --> 00:07:20,760
Speaker 1: second string, all the way on the thirst room. We

156
00:07:20,760 --> 00:07:23,800
Speaker 1: were having fun. And um. When you have fund, man,

157
00:07:23,840 --> 00:07:26,040
Speaker 1: and let everything else good that you can't control, man,

158
00:07:26,080 --> 00:07:28,600
Speaker 1: it loosens you up. The game comes to more natural, though.

159
00:07:28,640 --> 00:07:30,640
Speaker 1: So we're just trying to keep that motivation and try

160
00:07:30,680 --> 00:07:33,200
Speaker 1: to rally around each other and just have fun. Man.

161
00:07:33,240 --> 00:07:35,280
Speaker 1: It's it's a blessing to be here, and it's a

162
00:07:35,880 --> 00:07:39,000
Speaker 1: it's a lifetime opportunity, So you know, don't stretch yourself

163
00:07:39,040 --> 00:07:41,080
Speaker 1: out worrying about things you can't control. Just have fun

164
00:07:41,160 --> 00:07:43,840
Speaker 1: and live for the moment. It seemed like you guys

165
00:07:43,920 --> 00:07:48,120
Speaker 1: had a great read on the Dolphins offense throughout the year.

166
00:07:48,200 --> 00:07:52,240
Speaker 1: You completed the season series sweep yesterday, but you took

167
00:07:52,280 --> 00:07:55,080
Speaker 1: it to them in London and then he came back

168
00:07:55,440 --> 00:07:59,400
Speaker 1: home and took care of business as well. In your mind,

169
00:08:00,360 --> 00:08:04,920
Speaker 1: why were you guys so successful against Miami and offense

170
00:08:05,160 --> 00:08:08,400
Speaker 1: that it struggled at times this year, But they still

171
00:08:08,480 --> 00:08:11,160
Speaker 1: have some weapons. You have a lot of great weapons. Man.

172
00:08:11,200 --> 00:08:13,560
Speaker 1: I don't kid Landrys and yeah he hack up a

173
00:08:13,560 --> 00:08:16,400
Speaker 1: football player, man. I like him a lot. But I'm

174
00:08:16,480 --> 00:08:19,760
Speaker 1: first of all, you have to the coaches. The time

175
00:08:19,800 --> 00:08:22,000
Speaker 1: they put in, they under set us up and it's

176
00:08:22,080 --> 00:08:28,920
Speaker 1: like um our decordinator was there. Yeah, so you know

177
00:08:29,000 --> 00:08:30,280
Speaker 1: he I don't know if he had to jump on

178
00:08:30,360 --> 00:08:32,240
Speaker 1: him or whatnot, but you know he he come in

179
00:08:32,320 --> 00:08:34,120
Speaker 1: and he has the game plan set out like this

180
00:08:34,160 --> 00:08:36,679
Speaker 1: is what it's gonna be. Coach Bowls helps with the

181
00:08:36,720 --> 00:08:39,120
Speaker 1: plays going in for the week as well. So I'm

182
00:08:39,320 --> 00:08:41,520
Speaker 1: really gotta give them guys the credit, man. And if

183
00:08:41,520 --> 00:08:43,760
Speaker 1: you sit down and just listen and pay attention and

184
00:08:43,840 --> 00:08:45,880
Speaker 1: take your notes, you'll be I was on the sideline

185
00:08:45,920 --> 00:08:49,760
Speaker 1: calling out formations and plays right with him motioning. You

186
00:08:49,800 --> 00:08:51,680
Speaker 1: know what I mean. I knew when it was coming

187
00:08:51,679 --> 00:08:53,280
Speaker 1: and it was just all because I sat and listen.

188
00:08:53,360 --> 00:08:55,480
Speaker 1: And if you know the game planning, you pay attention

189
00:08:55,600 --> 00:08:58,320
Speaker 1: with them. Coaches were telling you it's kind of easy

190
00:08:58,360 --> 00:09:00,719
Speaker 1: to execute and shut down the offer. So it was

191
00:09:00,800 --> 00:09:02,719
Speaker 1: just crazy just to see if Joe and I was like, man,

192
00:09:02,760 --> 00:09:05,280
Speaker 1: we went over this, like we practiced this. He said,

193
00:09:05,280 --> 00:09:07,800
Speaker 1: this is what happened, and it happened. So we kind

194
00:09:07,840 --> 00:09:10,440
Speaker 1: of had to jump for as uh on them because

195
00:09:10,480 --> 00:09:14,199
Speaker 1: of the game plan, trying like a coach speak there

196
00:09:15,400 --> 00:09:18,640
Speaker 1: coach speak. Okay, let's give it away. You were talking

197
00:09:18,640 --> 00:09:20,800
Speaker 1: a little bit before we started about happen, a little

198
00:09:20,840 --> 00:09:23,440
Speaker 1: interest about being coaching. Maybe something in the back of

199
00:09:23,440 --> 00:09:25,600
Speaker 1: your mind if everything falls right there. You know, not

200
00:09:25,640 --> 00:09:27,120
Speaker 1: that you're going to stop playing for a long time,

201
00:09:27,160 --> 00:09:28,880
Speaker 1: but it's good to stick ahead of what you're gonna

202
00:09:28,880 --> 00:09:31,319
Speaker 1: do playing things or not. What this is about culture

203
00:09:31,360 --> 00:09:33,360
Speaker 1: that intrigues you so much, I think that you might

204
00:09:33,360 --> 00:09:36,439
Speaker 1: want to do it. Uh Man always always had a

205
00:09:36,480 --> 00:09:39,199
Speaker 1: coach mentality, like you don't have to tell me to

206
00:09:39,240 --> 00:09:41,079
Speaker 1: watch film. You don't have to tell me to go

207
00:09:41,320 --> 00:09:43,520
Speaker 1: I would I'll go watch scout film, like I'll go

208
00:09:43,679 --> 00:09:45,760
Speaker 1: watch the defensive game and then I'll go watch on

209
00:09:45,800 --> 00:09:48,040
Speaker 1: the Scout team reps too, because I participate on Scout

210
00:09:48,080 --> 00:09:51,080
Speaker 1: team as well. And it's just something I just love

211
00:09:51,200 --> 00:09:53,960
Speaker 1: doing even as a kid, my brother's highlight tapes. Oder

212
00:09:54,000 --> 00:09:56,079
Speaker 1: brother take the highlight tapes. He's still mad at me

213
00:09:56,080 --> 00:09:58,560
Speaker 1: because I lost all three of them, but I would

214
00:09:58,600 --> 00:10:01,360
Speaker 1: just watch his tape all day like the other. Then

215
00:10:01,440 --> 00:10:04,240
Speaker 1: I got breathe slipping. I ate football my whole entire life,

216
00:10:04,240 --> 00:10:05,760
Speaker 1: and I think that's one of the reasons why I

217
00:10:05,840 --> 00:10:07,880
Speaker 1: was blessed. It comes as far because it's something I

218
00:10:07,920 --> 00:10:10,800
Speaker 1: really always wanted to do, and it's just something about

219
00:10:10,840 --> 00:10:14,360
Speaker 1: football that just comes natural to some people, you know

220
00:10:14,400 --> 00:10:17,160
Speaker 1: what I mean. And coaching and drawling up shirts from

221
00:10:17,160 --> 00:10:19,920
Speaker 1: my little brothers in them and making small playbooks who

222
00:10:19,960 --> 00:10:22,040
Speaker 1: we as kids, and you know, I have them scrimmaging

223
00:10:22,040 --> 00:10:24,960
Speaker 1: other people around the neighborhood, and it's just something I

224
00:10:24,960 --> 00:10:27,839
Speaker 1: always see myself doing and playing or still doing so well.

225
00:10:28,880 --> 00:10:33,360
Speaker 1: Your opponent this week is the New York Giants. What

226
00:10:33,400 --> 00:10:35,920
Speaker 1: will you do to prepare for that matchup? Is you

227
00:10:36,040 --> 00:10:40,360
Speaker 1: talking about how much film that you actually do on

228
00:10:40,480 --> 00:10:42,800
Speaker 1: your own? So how much of that will you do

229
00:10:42,840 --> 00:10:45,320
Speaker 1: inside the building? And then what do you do tuys

230
00:10:45,480 --> 00:10:48,040
Speaker 1: when you're outside the building as far as your film

231
00:10:48,120 --> 00:10:51,960
Speaker 1: study and what kind of tendency specifically are you looking

232
00:10:52,000 --> 00:10:55,200
Speaker 1: when you study that opponent, or we played him in

233
00:10:55,200 --> 00:10:58,319
Speaker 1: the preseason, so we have a type of a base

234
00:10:58,400 --> 00:11:01,000
Speaker 1: to go off of. No, no much of change throughout

235
00:11:01,000 --> 00:11:03,960
Speaker 1: the season so far, but we'll see soon. With other

236
00:11:04,000 --> 00:11:06,079
Speaker 1: than the game plan and learning the ones and to

237
00:11:06,280 --> 00:11:08,040
Speaker 1: the coaches give you, I'll go look at the guys

238
00:11:08,080 --> 00:11:09,880
Speaker 1: I know I'll be mashed up and fist in the game,

239
00:11:09,920 --> 00:11:11,960
Speaker 1: like whre not we cover the title at I'll look

240
00:11:11,960 --> 00:11:14,560
Speaker 1: at the stands. If his hands is pressed deep in

241
00:11:14,559 --> 00:11:16,280
Speaker 1: the ground, he's probably coming off as a run. If

242
00:11:16,280 --> 00:11:19,240
Speaker 1: he's hands is soft, he's looking to get off the ball.

243
00:11:19,280 --> 00:11:22,000
Speaker 1: Probably the pool or stretch or you know, running aroute

244
00:11:22,040 --> 00:11:24,280
Speaker 1: and um, I just look at things that would help

245
00:11:24,280 --> 00:11:26,360
Speaker 1: me and my one on one battles because overalls the

246
00:11:26,400 --> 00:11:28,480
Speaker 1: team thing, but there are times a certain calls where

247
00:11:28,480 --> 00:11:30,720
Speaker 1: you'd be man coverage or zero covers on one guy.

248
00:11:30,800 --> 00:11:33,240
Speaker 1: So try to learn the guy's tennesseeason him and is

249
00:11:33,320 --> 00:11:35,800
Speaker 1: the backup to see what I any jump I can

250
00:11:35,800 --> 00:11:38,959
Speaker 1: get on them, the lineman, anything anything I can help

251
00:11:39,000 --> 00:11:41,559
Speaker 1: me win my one on one battle. So I was

252
00:11:41,600 --> 00:11:43,559
Speaker 1: scided to feel that kind of focused on the player

253
00:11:43,559 --> 00:11:45,840
Speaker 1: itself that I'll be going against. Even on special teams

254
00:11:45,880 --> 00:11:47,880
Speaker 1: on the wing. If if I could beat him under

255
00:11:48,080 --> 00:11:50,680
Speaker 1: does he cut block or does he? Watt said, anybody

256
00:11:50,720 --> 00:11:53,480
Speaker 1: could beat him to get to the punning white versa.

257
00:11:53,559 --> 00:11:54,960
Speaker 1: Anything I could do to help when my one on

258
00:11:55,000 --> 00:11:56,480
Speaker 1: one battles because at the end to the day, there's

259
00:11:56,480 --> 00:11:58,520
Speaker 1: a lot of one on one battles on the football

260
00:11:58,520 --> 00:12:00,480
Speaker 1: field that you have to win and win. You on battling,

261
00:12:00,920 --> 00:12:03,079
Speaker 1: everybody did a job, You're gonna win. So it's a

262
00:12:03,120 --> 00:12:05,880
Speaker 1: little one on the battle. You got one, Ronchest listening,

263
00:12:05,880 --> 00:12:08,120
Speaker 1: thanks for stopping against the Giants and the rest of

264
00:12:08,160 --> 00:12:13,559
Speaker 1: the way. All right, let's bring in a key contributor

265
00:12:13,720 --> 00:12:18,360
Speaker 1: from the Jets effort against the Dolphins, and this is

266
00:12:18,360 --> 00:12:21,640
Speaker 1: a linebacker, Aaron Henderson. Thanks for joining us tonight. Aaron.

267
00:12:21,760 --> 00:12:24,600
Speaker 1: Thank you guys for having me. Appreciate it. Aaron, So,

268
00:12:24,679 --> 00:12:27,040
Speaker 1: how did it feel to be out there on Sunday?

269
00:12:27,080 --> 00:12:31,199
Speaker 1: Because it had to feel a little bit different because

270
00:12:31,240 --> 00:12:34,160
Speaker 1: you've been getting some snaps. But I think when we

271
00:12:34,160 --> 00:12:37,840
Speaker 1: look at the play counts, that was your most uh,

272
00:12:37,920 --> 00:12:43,080
Speaker 1: your most action in the base because Todd Boll said, hey,

273
00:12:43,160 --> 00:12:45,280
Speaker 1: he's been playing well, we want to get him on

274
00:12:45,320 --> 00:12:47,440
Speaker 1: the field more, you know, It was refreshing. You know,

275
00:12:47,440 --> 00:12:50,520
Speaker 1: it's exciting that to have that opportunity place in front

276
00:12:50,520 --> 00:12:51,480
Speaker 1: of you. You want to go out there and try

277
00:12:51,520 --> 00:12:53,120
Speaker 1: to take advantage of it, to make the most of it.

278
00:12:53,280 --> 00:12:55,199
Speaker 1: You never know when they're gonna come, you know, and

279
00:12:55,280 --> 00:12:57,920
Speaker 1: I understand that. You know, I've had an interesting role

280
00:12:57,920 --> 00:12:59,640
Speaker 1: with it. I traveled and you know, you start to

281
00:12:59,720 --> 00:13:02,000
Speaker 1: learn it apreciate every second and every moment that you get.

282
00:13:02,240 --> 00:13:03,760
Speaker 1: And that's what I tried to do yesterday when I

283
00:13:03,800 --> 00:13:06,000
Speaker 1: was out there in the field. That's a better And

284
00:13:06,120 --> 00:13:09,080
Speaker 1: how important is it to see your hard work rewarded

285
00:13:09,120 --> 00:13:11,800
Speaker 1: by you getting more opportunities on the field. It's kind

286
00:13:11,840 --> 00:13:13,720
Speaker 1: of important. You know, I'm not gonna lie. Um, it

287
00:13:13,760 --> 00:13:15,320
Speaker 1: can it can be tough. You know, I started for

288
00:13:15,360 --> 00:13:17,960
Speaker 1: three years in Minnesota. Um when I came here, you like,

289
00:13:18,000 --> 00:13:19,480
Speaker 1: I can needed to to kind of play a different

290
00:13:19,559 --> 00:13:21,120
Speaker 1: role than what I was used to, and you know,

291
00:13:21,160 --> 00:13:22,880
Speaker 1: it's kind of hard pill to swallow at first. You know,

292
00:13:22,920 --> 00:13:24,480
Speaker 1: you used to being out there in the action, used

293
00:13:24,480 --> 00:13:26,600
Speaker 1: to being part of everything that's going on, everything that's happening,

294
00:13:26,960 --> 00:13:29,120
Speaker 1: and they actually take a different role and play special teams.

295
00:13:29,120 --> 00:13:31,360
Speaker 1: You know, it wasn't an easy pill, but I knew

296
00:13:31,400 --> 00:13:32,760
Speaker 1: that that's what that had to do, and that's what

297
00:13:32,840 --> 00:13:34,679
Speaker 1: was needed of me in order for our team to

298
00:13:35,040 --> 00:13:37,480
Speaker 1: be successful, and that's to be in the best positions

299
00:13:37,480 --> 00:13:39,680
Speaker 1: and situations to win. So that's what I was willing

300
00:13:39,720 --> 00:13:41,560
Speaker 1: to do. And uh, you know, just to kind of

301
00:13:41,600 --> 00:13:43,520
Speaker 1: have it come back around again and you know, they say, Okay,

302
00:13:43,520 --> 00:13:45,000
Speaker 1: you're playing well on special teams, so you know we're

303
00:13:45,000 --> 00:13:47,200
Speaker 1: gonna give you this opportunity to give you this chance. Uh,

304
00:13:47,200 --> 00:13:49,199
Speaker 1: it's definitely a huge and it's it's an uplifting feeling.

305
00:13:49,200 --> 00:13:51,360
Speaker 1: It's a good feeling, especially you know, going through a

306
00:13:51,400 --> 00:13:53,160
Speaker 1: one and four good one and four stretch, you know

307
00:13:53,160 --> 00:13:54,440
Speaker 1: it could be a little tough and get a little

308
00:13:54,480 --> 00:13:56,640
Speaker 1: bit down. So just to have the opportunity to get

309
00:13:56,640 --> 00:13:57,960
Speaker 1: out there and the field again and play with it

310
00:13:58,000 --> 00:14:00,320
Speaker 1: was very exciting for me. And I think something people

311
00:14:00,440 --> 00:14:04,760
Speaker 1: do forget your success that you had in Minnesota a

312
00:14:04,880 --> 00:14:08,640
Speaker 1: quality linebacker in the National Football League. The Jets were

313
00:14:08,640 --> 00:14:11,400
Speaker 1: getting when they added you to this roster and gave

314
00:14:11,520 --> 00:14:15,800
Speaker 1: depth to the inside linebacker position. With that being said,

315
00:14:15,840 --> 00:14:19,480
Speaker 1: how important has practice spent for you this year? Obviously

316
00:14:19,480 --> 00:14:23,200
Speaker 1: practice is important for everybody, but I'm saying, in your position,

317
00:14:23,880 --> 00:14:27,240
Speaker 1: not coming in and starting having to earn your time,

318
00:14:27,680 --> 00:14:30,440
Speaker 1: earn your time out there on the field, you must

319
00:14:30,480 --> 00:14:33,920
Speaker 1: be showing these guys something. Because when Todd Bowles says,

320
00:14:34,440 --> 00:14:37,120
Speaker 1: as we approached December, I gotta get him on the

321
00:14:37,200 --> 00:14:41,120
Speaker 1: field more, that to me says you're doing something right

322
00:14:41,120 --> 00:14:43,000
Speaker 1: on the practice field. You know for sure it's a

323
00:14:43,000 --> 00:14:45,720
Speaker 1: different approach that than what I've normally taken uh in

324
00:14:45,760 --> 00:14:47,520
Speaker 1: the past. You know, if I've looked at practice is

325
00:14:47,600 --> 00:14:49,000
Speaker 1: something that you like had to do, and you can

326
00:14:49,040 --> 00:14:50,920
Speaker 1: gradually go out there like, oh, here we go, you know,

327
00:14:51,000 --> 00:14:53,560
Speaker 1: another dad practice, and you know you start to look

328
00:14:53,600 --> 00:14:55,600
Speaker 1: at it from a different perspective. When when it's not

329
00:14:55,680 --> 00:14:57,840
Speaker 1: there anymore, can you start to understand the importance of

330
00:14:57,880 --> 00:15:00,760
Speaker 1: it being here in the new organization with new coaching staff,

331
00:15:00,960 --> 00:15:03,160
Speaker 1: new teammates, you know, have to go out there every practice,

332
00:15:03,200 --> 00:15:05,040
Speaker 1: every day and show them you know who I am

333
00:15:05,040 --> 00:15:06,680
Speaker 1: and what I'm about in order to continue to gain

334
00:15:06,720 --> 00:15:09,000
Speaker 1: their trust and respect. And if I don't do that

335
00:15:09,000 --> 00:15:10,640
Speaker 1: in the practice field, it's hard from the trust me

336
00:15:10,680 --> 00:15:11,920
Speaker 1: to put me out there on the foot on the

337
00:15:12,160 --> 00:15:14,840
Speaker 1: field comes Sunday, and I completely understand that I get

338
00:15:14,840 --> 00:15:16,600
Speaker 1: that and I respect that. So it's not it's a

339
00:15:16,640 --> 00:15:19,440
Speaker 1: matter of showing up every day, being a professional and

340
00:15:19,440 --> 00:15:21,080
Speaker 1: and taking my job seriou day every time I show

341
00:15:21,200 --> 00:15:25,280
Speaker 1: up and Henderson is our guest. When you the role

342
00:15:25,320 --> 00:15:29,200
Speaker 1: of linebackers changing every time, I mean you've got more responsibilities.

343
00:15:29,240 --> 00:15:33,000
Speaker 1: You're standing up, sometimes you're on the line tight ends,

344
00:15:33,080 --> 00:15:35,320
Speaker 1: running back side of the backfield. Just talk a little

345
00:15:35,320 --> 00:15:38,520
Speaker 1: bit about preparation for the different offenses that you think.

346
00:15:38,840 --> 00:15:41,200
Speaker 1: You know, it's it's it's intense. I think that's a

347
00:15:41,240 --> 00:15:42,920
Speaker 1: good way to put it. It's a lot of different

348
00:15:42,920 --> 00:15:44,080
Speaker 1: things that you have to look at a lot of

349
00:15:44,080 --> 00:15:46,800
Speaker 1: different movement parts, especially when it comes to the operation

350
00:15:46,840 --> 00:15:48,720
Speaker 1: of being the mic and running the defense and you know,

351
00:15:48,760 --> 00:15:50,840
Speaker 1: making adjustments and getting the people in the right places,

352
00:15:51,160 --> 00:15:53,280
Speaker 1: especially when you're out there with knuckle hands like Ryan Tz,

353
00:15:53,560 --> 00:15:58,360
Speaker 1: you know just what's up to. So you know, it's uh,

354
00:15:58,800 --> 00:16:00,160
Speaker 1: it's it can be a tough it can be a

355
00:16:00,200 --> 00:16:02,400
Speaker 1: tough task, but it's just one that I enjoyed one

356
00:16:02,400 --> 00:16:04,720
Speaker 1: of the uh you know, relish the opportunity to take

357
00:16:04,760 --> 00:16:07,320
Speaker 1: on and continue to try to to try to better

358
00:16:07,360 --> 00:16:09,600
Speaker 1: myself and become the best leader that I can be

359
00:16:09,600 --> 00:16:10,840
Speaker 1: because at the end of the day, that's what you

360
00:16:10,880 --> 00:16:12,360
Speaker 1: are is aligned back and you're a leader of men

361
00:16:12,880 --> 00:16:15,360
Speaker 1: and and and and think one of the highest levels

362
00:16:15,360 --> 00:16:17,640
Speaker 1: when you're talking about being professional football players. And so

363
00:16:17,960 --> 00:16:20,040
Speaker 1: you have to go out there with a certain confidence

364
00:16:20,080 --> 00:16:22,840
Speaker 1: about yourself and a certain you know, attitude about yourself

365
00:16:22,880 --> 00:16:24,560
Speaker 1: and try to get other people to believe in you

366
00:16:24,600 --> 00:16:26,400
Speaker 1: and what you're saying and what you're doing. How much

367
00:16:26,440 --> 00:16:30,320
Speaker 1: you embracing this opportunity being a part of the National

368
00:16:30,320 --> 00:16:33,400
Speaker 1: Football League. It's like you said, long and windy road

369
00:16:33,960 --> 00:16:35,840
Speaker 1: last year was tough for you being out of the

370
00:16:35,920 --> 00:16:39,120
Speaker 1: National Football League, and now you've come in here taking

371
00:16:39,120 --> 00:16:43,880
Speaker 1: the right approach and you're starting to see, uh, you're

372
00:16:43,880 --> 00:16:46,360
Speaker 1: starting to see things pay off for you now. Yeah,

373
00:16:46,400 --> 00:16:48,240
Speaker 1: for sure. And I'm like we talked about earlier. You know,

374
00:16:48,560 --> 00:16:51,840
Speaker 1: it's it's important. It's nice to see the rewards of

375
00:16:51,880 --> 00:16:53,720
Speaker 1: your of your of your work, of your labors, you know,

376
00:16:53,800 --> 00:16:56,160
Speaker 1: the fruits of your labors. Um, it's not always gonna

377
00:16:56,160 --> 00:16:57,720
Speaker 1: be that way. Sometimes you have to be the right

378
00:16:57,760 --> 00:16:59,240
Speaker 1: thing because you know it's the right thing to do,

379
00:16:59,400 --> 00:17:01,040
Speaker 1: even though you and not be rewarded for it in

380
00:17:01,040 --> 00:17:02,760
Speaker 1: the long run, or you might not, you know, have

381
00:17:02,920 --> 00:17:04,639
Speaker 1: some some great thing that comes in return of you

382
00:17:04,720 --> 00:17:06,680
Speaker 1: doing the right thing. But in your heart of hearts,

383
00:17:06,720 --> 00:17:07,960
Speaker 1: you know that you did what was right and you

384
00:17:08,000 --> 00:17:09,560
Speaker 1: can live with that and you can be okay with that.

385
00:17:09,960 --> 00:17:11,440
Speaker 1: I think that's kind of why I'm at right now,

386
00:17:11,840 --> 00:17:13,960
Speaker 1: and that's the kind of the situation that I put

387
00:17:14,000 --> 00:17:16,760
Speaker 1: myself in. I came into this league undrafted. You know,

388
00:17:16,800 --> 00:17:18,720
Speaker 1: I came in a long way from the very beginning.

389
00:17:18,720 --> 00:17:19,960
Speaker 1: I had to come in the back door. And then,

390
00:17:20,000 --> 00:17:21,840
Speaker 1: you know, you just got to continue to show your

391
00:17:21,840 --> 00:17:24,240
Speaker 1: worth and and and and earn your stripes a weekend

392
00:17:24,240 --> 00:17:26,359
Speaker 1: and week out, and and and try to continue to

393
00:17:26,440 --> 00:17:29,399
Speaker 1: better yourself and continue to grow as a as a

394
00:17:29,440 --> 00:17:31,720
Speaker 1: football player, as a person, as a man out all

395
00:17:31,760 --> 00:17:33,280
Speaker 1: of it. You know it's and it's a tough thing

396
00:17:33,280 --> 00:17:36,479
Speaker 1: to do, but you know it's a great opportunity all

397
00:17:36,520 --> 00:17:39,520
Speaker 1: the same time. What you learned about yourself on this road.

398
00:17:39,560 --> 00:17:42,120
Speaker 1: You talk about being undrafted out of the football last year,

399
00:17:42,160 --> 00:17:44,120
Speaker 1: What as you standing here right now and look back

400
00:17:44,119 --> 00:17:46,080
Speaker 1: what you learned about you? There's not much that you

401
00:17:46,080 --> 00:17:47,760
Speaker 1: can throw at me that I can't handle. If I

402
00:17:47,800 --> 00:17:50,119
Speaker 1: really take the time to to to to look at

403
00:17:50,119 --> 00:17:52,560
Speaker 1: myself in the mirror and figure out what it is

404
00:17:52,600 --> 00:17:54,520
Speaker 1: that I can do in that situation and better myself

405
00:17:54,560 --> 00:17:57,320
Speaker 1: and and become the best meeter I could possibly be. Um,

406
00:17:57,520 --> 00:18:00,080
Speaker 1: you're gonna be. There's all kinds of different adversity and

407
00:18:00,080 --> 00:18:02,080
Speaker 1: and and you know, speed ups that are gonna come

408
00:18:02,080 --> 00:18:03,439
Speaker 1: your way in life. You know, that's part of it,

409
00:18:03,600 --> 00:18:05,199
Speaker 1: you know. I think how you handle it and how

410
00:18:05,200 --> 00:18:06,920
Speaker 1: you respond and how you bounce back from things says

411
00:18:06,960 --> 00:18:08,880
Speaker 1: a lot about you and your character. And I think

412
00:18:08,920 --> 00:18:11,200
Speaker 1: that anybody who knows my story or you know, visits

413
00:18:11,200 --> 00:18:14,199
Speaker 1: my story can see that I must be kind of

414
00:18:14,200 --> 00:18:16,320
Speaker 1: a strong person, you know, And I think sometimes people

415
00:18:16,320 --> 00:18:18,160
Speaker 1: are scared to get themselves on credit for that when

416
00:18:18,440 --> 00:18:20,119
Speaker 1: I think I was one of those people that that

417
00:18:20,200 --> 00:18:21,920
Speaker 1: looked at it and thought it was a negative thing

418
00:18:21,960 --> 00:18:24,760
Speaker 1: to be strong. But you know, as as I've grown

419
00:18:24,800 --> 00:18:27,040
Speaker 1: and matured, I've learned, you know, to to be strong.

420
00:18:27,080 --> 00:18:28,560
Speaker 1: It's a tough thing, you know, and you know it's

421
00:18:28,640 --> 00:18:30,760
Speaker 1: it's not an easy thing to do, but if you

422
00:18:30,760 --> 00:18:32,159
Speaker 1: can do it, it it could be beneficial to a lot

423
00:18:32,160 --> 00:18:35,440
Speaker 1: of people around you. What was it like playing alongside

424
00:18:35,600 --> 00:18:38,000
Speaker 1: David Harris out there? There was a lot of fun actually,

425
00:18:38,040 --> 00:18:40,840
Speaker 1: you know, because Dave and I have we have interesting relationship.

426
00:18:41,280 --> 00:18:42,760
Speaker 1: You know, we messed around with each other a lot.

427
00:18:42,880 --> 00:18:44,760
Speaker 1: You know, his his chairs right in front of mine

428
00:18:44,800 --> 00:18:46,680
Speaker 1: in the meeting room. Somebody's kicking his chair, slapping it

429
00:18:46,720 --> 00:18:49,080
Speaker 1: back his head and stuff like that. So it's, uh,

430
00:18:49,200 --> 00:18:50,520
Speaker 1: it's it was fun to be out there on the

431
00:18:50,560 --> 00:18:52,440
Speaker 1: field with him, um and you know, having a chance

432
00:18:52,480 --> 00:18:54,720
Speaker 1: to run around, and it was It's funny like towards

433
00:18:54,760 --> 00:18:57,320
Speaker 1: the end of the game when Lorenzo Malda recovered that fumble,

434
00:18:57,680 --> 00:18:59,119
Speaker 1: there was off of the linement that kind of went

435
00:18:59,160 --> 00:19:01,159
Speaker 1: to go diving and try how to kind of hit

436
00:19:01,600 --> 00:19:03,520
Speaker 1: low Zo to get the ball out or whatever, and

437
00:19:03,520 --> 00:19:05,480
Speaker 1: I kind of picked him off before you can hit him,

438
00:19:05,520 --> 00:19:07,159
Speaker 1: and Dave was coming at the same time, so I

439
00:19:07,200 --> 00:19:09,600
Speaker 1: was like, David beat you to him. It's just a

440
00:19:09,640 --> 00:19:11,640
Speaker 1: little stuff like that that happens out there in the field,

441
00:19:11,640 --> 00:19:13,120
Speaker 1: and you know, it's kind of like a carry over

442
00:19:13,160 --> 00:19:14,520
Speaker 1: from how we are in the locker room and how

443
00:19:14,560 --> 00:19:16,920
Speaker 1: we are, um you know, in our in our meeting

444
00:19:16,960 --> 00:19:18,680
Speaker 1: rooms as well. So it's cool to be out there

445
00:19:18,840 --> 00:19:20,760
Speaker 1: and you know, being a hole with people. Let's see

446
00:19:20,760 --> 00:19:23,080
Speaker 1: how they respond to how they do. David hates the

447
00:19:23,160 --> 00:19:27,919
Speaker 1: camera and says Larry no, usually fan of microphone. Usually

448
00:19:27,920 --> 00:19:29,600
Speaker 1: when we talked to him, we got to get him

449
00:19:29,640 --> 00:19:32,280
Speaker 1: off to the side. Maybe in the hallway, quick, one

450
00:19:32,320 --> 00:19:35,760
Speaker 1: on one, no cameras, get away from me. But in

451
00:19:35,800 --> 00:19:38,680
Speaker 1: the meeting rooms, you guys see a different side of David,

452
00:19:38,760 --> 00:19:42,080
Speaker 1: don't Yeah, a lot of people say, hey, we can't

453
00:19:42,080 --> 00:19:44,679
Speaker 1: get David to shut up. The thing is that if

454
00:19:44,720 --> 00:19:46,480
Speaker 1: they knew the stuff that comes out of david mouth,

455
00:19:46,480 --> 00:19:48,240
Speaker 1: they would let him stay quiet. They'd be like, Okay,

456
00:19:48,240 --> 00:19:52,040
Speaker 1: we understand why he's quiet. Dave has interesting ways about him.

457
00:19:52,080 --> 00:19:54,520
Speaker 1: He can he could be a I like to call

458
00:19:54,600 --> 00:19:57,320
Speaker 1: him a quiet jerk, you know, yeah, he's I love

459
00:19:57,359 --> 00:19:59,920
Speaker 1: it though. I love it like it keeps you on

460
00:20:00,000 --> 00:20:02,040
Speaker 1: your toes, you know, keep you entertaining, and you know

461
00:20:02,040 --> 00:20:04,960
Speaker 1: it's never a dull moment with within in our meeting room.

462
00:20:05,080 --> 00:20:07,200
Speaker 1: That's a batter. And how important all these last couple

463
00:20:07,240 --> 00:20:09,439
Speaker 1: of weeks as you build going into the postseason, you

464
00:20:09,440 --> 00:20:12,600
Speaker 1: guys gotta win Yesterday important for the defense to continue

465
00:20:12,600 --> 00:20:14,919
Speaker 1: to be aggressive and play physical and and put some

466
00:20:14,920 --> 00:20:17,160
Speaker 1: strengths and wins together. Oh for sure, Um, I think

467
00:20:17,240 --> 00:20:19,400
Speaker 1: yesterday was. It will be a big confidence boost force

468
00:20:19,880 --> 00:20:21,840
Speaker 1: getting back on the right track. We have a great

469
00:20:21,840 --> 00:20:24,600
Speaker 1: opportunity ahead of us with three games at at home.

470
00:20:25,040 --> 00:20:27,120
Speaker 1: I know, but considered the away team this weekend, but

471
00:20:27,240 --> 00:20:29,000
Speaker 1: you know it's another opportunity for us to play a

472
00:20:29,080 --> 00:20:31,679
Speaker 1: mattlife will be in our locker room, and then we

473
00:20:31,720 --> 00:20:33,239
Speaker 1: know we have a great chance to go out there

474
00:20:33,240 --> 00:20:35,560
Speaker 1: and perform and just kind of keep it building and

475
00:20:35,640 --> 00:20:37,360
Speaker 1: keep it going and keep it rolling. You know, the

476
00:20:37,359 --> 00:20:39,440
Speaker 1: the good teams get hot at the right time. Um.

477
00:20:39,480 --> 00:20:41,120
Speaker 1: You look back in history and some of the Super

478
00:20:41,119 --> 00:20:43,680
Speaker 1: Bowl teams and teams that have worn um, they get

479
00:20:43,720 --> 00:20:46,040
Speaker 1: hot in the November December and then that that stretch

480
00:20:46,160 --> 00:20:48,000
Speaker 1: run towards the end kind and that's where we're at

481
00:20:48,080 --> 00:20:49,560
Speaker 1: right now. So you know it's time to put up

482
00:20:49,560 --> 00:20:51,320
Speaker 1: a shut up. We gotta do it one game at

483
00:20:51,320 --> 00:20:53,320
Speaker 1: a time, starting with this Sunday against the Giants. Aaron,

484
00:20:53,400 --> 00:20:55,200
Speaker 1: what do you think about the Giants? I know you're

485
00:20:55,200 --> 00:20:59,560
Speaker 1: gonna dive into film work as the week progresses, but

486
00:21:00,080 --> 00:21:02,920
Speaker 1: us down a surface level as we sit here Monday night,

487
00:21:03,320 --> 00:21:05,720
Speaker 1: what do you think about their offensive attack and the

488
00:21:05,840 --> 00:21:08,280
Speaker 1: challenges they could post. I think Larry hit it on

489
00:21:08,280 --> 00:21:09,879
Speaker 1: the head already. Just when I was sitting out there,

490
00:21:09,960 --> 00:21:12,359
Speaker 1: he was talking about and gona make it them one dimensional, uh,

491
00:21:12,440 --> 00:21:14,120
Speaker 1: going into each week. That's what's one of the things

492
00:21:14,119 --> 00:21:15,840
Speaker 1: that we talked about, making sure we stopped to running

493
00:21:15,880 --> 00:21:18,720
Speaker 1: smash run, uh and forcing the team to beat us

494
00:21:18,720 --> 00:21:20,919
Speaker 1: through the air. We have some great dbs and some

495
00:21:21,119 --> 00:21:23,359
Speaker 1: a great secondary play and you know, we we like

496
00:21:23,440 --> 00:21:25,640
Speaker 1: our chances when it comes to that, but it makes

497
00:21:25,640 --> 00:21:27,159
Speaker 1: it a lot to like, makes it a lot more

498
00:21:27,200 --> 00:21:29,680
Speaker 1: tougher on everybody if we allow them to run the ball.

499
00:21:29,960 --> 00:21:31,320
Speaker 1: So I think for us, it's a matter of coming

500
00:21:31,320 --> 00:21:33,320
Speaker 1: out here and being physical, you know, setting it tone

501
00:21:33,359 --> 00:21:35,840
Speaker 1: early as we did in this past game, and kind

502
00:21:35,880 --> 00:21:38,280
Speaker 1: of growing from there and moving from there and continue

503
00:21:38,280 --> 00:21:40,000
Speaker 1: to build on what we started here. You were part

504
00:21:40,000 --> 00:21:43,399
Speaker 1: of history Sunday against the Dolphins and said, ye's allowed

505
00:21:44,000 --> 00:21:48,159
Speaker 1: a franchise low in rushing yards against Miami, And what

506
00:21:48,200 --> 00:21:49,520
Speaker 1: do you think about that? I mean, I think it's

507
00:21:49,560 --> 00:21:51,040
Speaker 1: huge for us. And I know people would look at

508
00:21:51,040 --> 00:21:52,720
Speaker 1: it and say, well, they only ran the ball twelve

509
00:21:52,720 --> 00:21:55,000
Speaker 1: times or they only ran it nine times, But you

510
00:21:55,000 --> 00:21:57,159
Speaker 1: know that that's a that's a testament to us and

511
00:21:57,240 --> 00:21:58,600
Speaker 1: what we were able to do as well. You know,

512
00:21:58,600 --> 00:22:00,400
Speaker 1: if they had success with the running game the earlier

513
00:22:00,400 --> 00:22:01,960
Speaker 1: than who knows, maybe they stick with it, they keep

514
00:22:01,960 --> 00:22:04,640
Speaker 1: attacking it. Um, if we don't get ahead of the

515
00:22:04,480 --> 00:22:06,119
Speaker 1: and then you know early in the game, maybe they

516
00:22:06,160 --> 00:22:07,880
Speaker 1: stick to the running game a little bit more. So

517
00:22:08,280 --> 00:22:09,760
Speaker 1: you know, you can look at the status and you

518
00:22:09,800 --> 00:22:11,960
Speaker 1: can you can view it from one way, but there's

519
00:22:11,960 --> 00:22:13,879
Speaker 1: also a different way and different perspectives to look at

520
00:22:13,920 --> 00:22:15,680
Speaker 1: it too. I think we have to go out there

521
00:22:15,680 --> 00:22:18,359
Speaker 1: with that mindset and that that that dedication is stopping

522
00:22:18,400 --> 00:22:20,400
Speaker 1: around every time we step on the football field order

523
00:22:20,400 --> 00:22:23,120
Speaker 1: for us to be successful. For starting December right now,

524
00:22:23,280 --> 00:22:26,480
Speaker 1: how does football change once we get to this mob?

525
00:22:26,920 --> 00:22:28,760
Speaker 1: I think it separates people and I think I think

526
00:22:28,800 --> 00:22:31,000
Speaker 1: December of separation time. Um, it starts to get a

527
00:22:31,000 --> 00:22:34,800
Speaker 1: little cold outside. You know, uh, did those hits start

528
00:22:34,840 --> 00:22:36,400
Speaker 1: to hurt a little bit more? And you know, people

529
00:22:36,440 --> 00:22:38,520
Speaker 1: don't don't want to go in there the same way

530
00:22:38,560 --> 00:22:40,520
Speaker 1: that they once was. And I think you start to

531
00:22:40,560 --> 00:22:42,360
Speaker 1: figure out, you know, who really wants to who really

532
00:22:42,359 --> 00:22:44,040
Speaker 1: wants to continue to play, who's ready to go home,

533
00:22:44,040 --> 00:22:46,239
Speaker 1: and who's ready to pack it in. Um. I think

534
00:22:46,280 --> 00:22:47,639
Speaker 1: the guys that we have in this locker room are

535
00:22:47,640 --> 00:22:49,679
Speaker 1: going to compete. They're gonna fight to teeth and bone

536
00:22:50,240 --> 00:22:51,880
Speaker 1: to the very end. And I think that's what we've

537
00:22:51,880 --> 00:22:53,560
Speaker 1: shown and I think that's what we'll continue to show

538
00:22:54,160 --> 00:22:57,080
Speaker 1: um as we as we make it down the stretch. Aaron, listen,

539
00:22:57,240 --> 00:22:59,040
Speaker 1: keep keep up the good work, keep keep being on

540
00:22:59,080 --> 00:23:01,639
Speaker 1: the football field. Thanks for a couple of minutes. Thank you, Aaron. Henderson.
