But at the 173 00:07:58,800 --> 00:08:01,440 Speaker 2: same time, I was like, like, I love the way 174 00:08:01,480 --> 00:08:03,680 Speaker 2: that you know the team plays, you know, especially from 175 00:08:03,720 --> 00:08:06,920 Speaker 2: the D line play. Eric Armst is someone who you know, 176 00:08:07,000 --> 00:08:10,280 Speaker 2: I have a good relationship with. I've trained with Nick before, 177 00:08:10,480 --> 00:08:12,600 Speaker 2: so I know a lot of guys. Even playing against 178 00:08:12,800 --> 00:08:14,840 Speaker 2: Javon kin Law in college, you know, he was a 179 00:08:14,880 --> 00:08:17,040 Speaker 2: South Carolina guy. So it was like kind of cool 180 00:08:17,040 --> 00:08:18,840 Speaker 2: to see because you know, not only is it is 181 00:08:18,840 --> 00:08:21,080 Speaker 2: heated competition, but you know a lot of the guys too, 182 00:08:21,200 --> 00:08:23,600 Speaker 2: so it was something that I cherish. 183 00:08:23,080 --> 00:08:23,720 Speaker 3: You mentioned this. 184 00:08:23,760 --> 00:08:25,920 Speaker 1: But you're familiar with a lot of the players on 185 00:08:25,960 --> 00:08:28,520 Speaker 1: the forty nine ers roster. Is there someone in particular 186 00:08:28,640 --> 00:08:30,440 Speaker 1: you're most excited to be playing with. 187 00:08:30,640 --> 00:08:33,120 Speaker 2: I'm not gonna lie. I mean, I say, obviously the 188 00:08:33,200 --> 00:08:38,560 Speaker 2: D line, but uh, debo, debo devo, because we used 189 00:08:38,559 --> 00:08:41,080 Speaker 2: to talk a lot of trash back in college, even 190 00:08:41,160 --> 00:08:44,960 Speaker 2: even Ray Ray McLeod I was that's my that's my 191 00:08:45,000 --> 00:08:47,079 Speaker 2: former college teammate. So it's a it's a number of 192 00:08:47,120 --> 00:08:49,240 Speaker 2: different guys really, the offensive players, you know, because I'm 193 00:08:49,280 --> 00:08:51,240 Speaker 2: the guys you get to talk trash to every day, 194 00:08:51,559 --> 00:08:53,719 Speaker 2: you know. So we'll get to I can't wait. I'm 195 00:08:53,720 --> 00:08:55,120 Speaker 2: excited for practice, all. 196 00:08:55,120 --> 00:08:58,080 Speaker 1: Right, and you'll be joining forces with new defensive coordinator 197 00:08:58,160 --> 00:09:00,640 Speaker 1: Steve Wilkes. What is it about the twenty nine ers 198 00:09:00,679 --> 00:09:03,640 Speaker 1: scheme and him coming into the picture that made this 199 00:09:03,760 --> 00:09:04,560 Speaker 1: a good fit for you? 200 00:09:05,040 --> 00:09:08,080 Speaker 2: I think I think it's just identity. I think, you know, obviously, 201 00:09:08,160 --> 00:09:10,839 Speaker 2: regardless of the fact here, like I think everything is 202 00:09:10,880 --> 00:09:12,920 Speaker 2: built around the players, you know, and I think any 203 00:09:13,800 --> 00:09:16,160 Speaker 2: any most of the good coaches that I've really been 204 00:09:16,200 --> 00:09:18,400 Speaker 2: around including coach Wilson's you know, they make it about 205 00:09:18,440 --> 00:09:20,600 Speaker 2: the players, you know, you know exus and those can 206 00:09:20,640 --> 00:09:22,840 Speaker 2: only take you so far. But can I can a 207 00:09:22,840 --> 00:09:25,320 Speaker 2: coach really develop a player skill? Can a coach really 208 00:09:25,720 --> 00:09:27,720 Speaker 2: you know, give a player confidence to make them really 209 00:09:27,720 --> 00:09:30,080 Speaker 2: believe in theyself to where it don't matter what play 210 00:09:30,120 --> 00:09:31,600 Speaker 2: you call, you know, we can go out there and 211 00:09:31,600 --> 00:09:33,880 Speaker 2: we can just win a match up and we'll take 212 00:09:33,880 --> 00:09:35,120 Speaker 2: it on from there. So I think that's one of 213 00:09:35,160 --> 00:09:38,000 Speaker 2: the biggest things that kind of from what I've seen, 214 00:09:38,080 --> 00:09:41,200 Speaker 2: separates the coaching staff here or just in general around 215 00:09:41,240 --> 00:09:43,199 Speaker 2: the league, because I see just how much the players 216 00:09:43,200 --> 00:09:44,520 Speaker 2: buy into the system. 217 00:09:44,600 --> 00:09:47,840 Speaker 1: For you personally, in twenty twenty two, twenty five tackles, 218 00:09:48,040 --> 00:09:50,640 Speaker 1: two sacks, two passes defended. How are you hoping to 219 00:09:50,720 --> 00:09:52,559 Speaker 1: elevate your game here in San Francisco? 220 00:09:53,080 --> 00:09:55,400 Speaker 2: I look into to to to really just come in 221 00:09:55,400 --> 00:09:58,800 Speaker 2: and and really show everything that I have. You know, 222 00:09:58,840 --> 00:10:01,440 Speaker 2: I feel like being here post Chris and being in 223 00:10:01,480 --> 00:10:04,199 Speaker 2: this this this defense can really you know, I think 224 00:10:04,280 --> 00:10:07,840 Speaker 2: put on notice just my true skill set and regardless 225 00:10:07,880 --> 00:10:09,680 Speaker 2: of the fact, I think just the effort, you know, 226 00:10:09,760 --> 00:10:13,400 Speaker 2: the mentality that I try to bring is something that 227 00:10:13,440 --> 00:10:16,000 Speaker 2: you know, I really really take pride in so obviously 228 00:10:16,080 --> 00:10:18,200 Speaker 2: you know that's gonna take me, you know, keeping up 229 00:10:18,240 --> 00:10:20,480 Speaker 2: on my conditioning. But I think the effort is something, 230 00:10:20,520 --> 00:10:23,240 Speaker 2: you know, just do not trying to be denied at all, 231 00:10:23,360 --> 00:10:24,079 Speaker 2: I think for sure. 232 00:10:24,440 --> 00:10:28,280 Speaker 1: This podcast is sponsored by Manscaped.
