It's not like college where you're like, 172 00:07:23,920 --> 00:07:25,560 Speaker 4: you got to come here, you got workouts at six 173 00:07:25,640 --> 00:07:27,440 Speaker 4: in the morning, you gotta do this, you gotta do that. 174 00:07:27,880 --> 00:07:29,440 Speaker 3: It was like, all right, you're on your own pretty 175 00:07:29,520 --> 00:07:30,040 Speaker 3: much for all. 176 00:07:29,960 --> 00:07:32,800 Speaker 4: These months, and then you know you can only I 177 00:07:32,840 --> 00:07:34,200 Speaker 4: didn't know if I was doing it right or if 178 00:07:34,240 --> 00:07:35,960 Speaker 4: I was doing it wrong, and obviously when I got 179 00:07:36,000 --> 00:07:38,400 Speaker 4: here for camp, I was like, I must have did 180 00:07:38,400 --> 00:07:39,000 Speaker 4: something right. 181 00:07:39,320 --> 00:07:42,320 Speaker 1: Who would you train with their off season and what 182 00:07:42,440 --> 00:07:45,760 Speaker 1: specific part you're doing Did you say, hey, listen, this 183 00:07:45,840 --> 00:07:46,800 Speaker 1: is what I really want. 184 00:07:46,600 --> 00:07:46,960 Speaker 3: To hold in. 185 00:07:48,200 --> 00:07:50,840 Speaker 4: Most important thing to me was just explosiveness, because if 186 00:07:50,880 --> 00:07:53,520 Speaker 4: you're an explosive If I'm an explosive player at two 187 00:07:53,560 --> 00:07:56,880 Speaker 4: sixty and I'm explosive fast, obviously I have'n't always been 188 00:07:56,960 --> 00:08:01,520 Speaker 4: naturally strong. And then technique just pass rushing, because you know, 189 00:08:01,600 --> 00:08:03,320 Speaker 4: that's what I could paint to do right. 190 00:08:03,560 --> 00:08:04,480 Speaker 3: On top of other things. 191 00:08:04,480 --> 00:08:06,360 Speaker 4: But now it was just important to me that I 192 00:08:06,760 --> 00:08:09,680 Speaker 4: became extremely explosive and then I got you know, I 193 00:08:09,720 --> 00:08:11,840 Speaker 4: got on my technique in terms of pass rushing and 194 00:08:11,880 --> 00:08:14,480 Speaker 4: get off and just optimizing what my body can give 195 00:08:14,520 --> 00:08:17,559 Speaker 4: to me because I'm an athletic individual. But it doesn't 196 00:08:17,600 --> 00:08:19,640 Speaker 4: mean anything if you're not getting that out of your 197 00:08:19,640 --> 00:08:22,600 Speaker 4: body because your technique's not right. So just focus on 198 00:08:22,640 --> 00:08:27,560 Speaker 4: my technique, become explosive, and just be discipline, be diligent 199 00:08:27,600 --> 00:08:30,720 Speaker 4: in my work. Because I knew you know this, I 200 00:08:30,760 --> 00:08:32,679 Speaker 4: wanted to make a statement this year. Yeah, that was 201 00:08:32,720 --> 00:08:36,400 Speaker 4: a you know what you've seen first year. No, I 202 00:08:36,400 --> 00:08:39,640 Speaker 4: appreciate gratitude to myself for getting getting there, but that 203 00:08:39,760 --> 00:08:42,920 Speaker 4: wasn't who I am, And shoot, I challenge myself. I'm 204 00:08:42,960 --> 00:08:45,200 Speaker 4: still not even close to where I want to be, 205 00:08:45,280 --> 00:08:47,959 Speaker 4: so but I mean just taking steps was important and 206 00:08:48,760 --> 00:08:49,520 Speaker 4: just busting my butt. 207 00:08:49,520 --> 00:08:51,800 Speaker 3: So I had so I had no regrets. You know, 208 00:08:51,920 --> 00:08:52,840 Speaker 3: during the season. 209 00:08:52,920 --> 00:08:57,600 Speaker 1: As a pass rusher, what's the importance of the get off? 210 00:08:58,000 --> 00:09:01,559 Speaker 1: And like you said, that was something that you stressed. 211 00:09:01,600 --> 00:09:04,560 Speaker 1: You emphasize an off season and you can see that 212 00:09:04,720 --> 00:09:09,880 Speaker 1: out on Sundays. What goes into that because you've always 213 00:09:09,920 --> 00:09:14,680 Speaker 1: been athletic, but having that first step off the snap. 214 00:09:15,080 --> 00:09:17,360 Speaker 4: I mean, definitely the first step off the snap. But 215 00:09:17,440 --> 00:09:20,839 Speaker 4: I think more than anything, especially in today's game. I mean, 216 00:09:20,880 --> 00:09:23,920 Speaker 4: guys don't really want to be physical. Yeah they don't. 217 00:09:23,920 --> 00:09:26,760 Speaker 4: They got paid already. So you know, why would I 218 00:09:26,880 --> 00:09:29,120 Speaker 4: grind is like I did in college to get to 219 00:09:29,160 --> 00:09:30,880 Speaker 4: this point. Why would I be physical like that anymore? 220 00:09:30,880 --> 00:09:32,600 Speaker 4: I got paid. That's how I think a lot of 221 00:09:32,600 --> 00:09:34,600 Speaker 4: those guys think. So I was like, Okay, well, I'm 222 00:09:34,600 --> 00:09:36,760 Speaker 4: gonna be physical. I don't care. That's that's that's who 223 00:09:36,800 --> 00:09:39,480 Speaker 4: I am. And be physical, I'm explosive. I'm gonna punch 224 00:09:39,480 --> 00:09:41,800 Speaker 4: you in your face until you tap out. And it's 225 00:09:41,840 --> 00:09:44,400 Speaker 4: kind of how I go about it. And then obviously 226 00:09:45,000 --> 00:09:47,000 Speaker 4: I got the speed and the athleticism to do all 227 00:09:47,040 --> 00:09:50,760 Speaker 4: the other stuff too. But nah, I'm coming to punch 228 00:09:50,800 --> 00:09:53,080 Speaker 4: you in your face and you know, check your temperature 229 00:09:53,080 --> 00:09:54,319 Speaker 4: and see how you take it for sure. 230 00:09:54,600 --> 00:09:57,240 Speaker 1: Yeah, And that's always been an element of your game, 231 00:09:58,320 --> 00:10:01,760 Speaker 1: as far as you stand it up or maybe going 232 00:10:01,800 --> 00:10:02,680 Speaker 1: down in your stance. 233 00:10:02,800 --> 00:10:03,120 Speaker 3: Yeah. 234 00:10:03,160 --> 00:10:04,360 Speaker 2: How much freedom do you have? 235 00:10:05,600 --> 00:10:07,640 Speaker 4: All the freedom in the world. Yeah, And let's just 236 00:10:07,640 --> 00:10:10,880 Speaker 4: a tribute to you know, my coaching staff. They trust me. 237 00:10:11,400 --> 00:10:16,520 Speaker 4: It's pretty much all right, Jermaine, But definitely operating the 238 00:10:16,520 --> 00:10:18,480 Speaker 4: framework of the defense and and. 239 00:10:19,160 --> 00:10:21,320 Speaker 3: Do it like that. So I definitely appreciate it. 240 00:10:21,400 --> 00:10:24,600 Speaker 4: And you know, they let me apply my game to 241 00:10:24,720 --> 00:10:28,360 Speaker 4: the defense and not the other way around, which I 242 00:10:28,360 --> 00:10:30,720 Speaker 4: think can put some players in a box. But I 243 00:10:30,760 --> 00:10:33,280 Speaker 4: mean the staff does a great job of taking individual 244 00:10:33,320 --> 00:10:36,360 Speaker 4: players and understanding that they do some things really good 245 00:10:36,600 --> 00:10:39,720 Speaker 4: and you know, playing the scheme of defense to those strengths. 246 00:10:39,760 --> 00:10:41,959 Speaker 4: And in this case, it's like standing up, you know, 247 00:10:42,080 --> 00:10:44,720 Speaker 4: letting me use my athleticism and kind of like my 248 00:10:44,760 --> 00:10:46,480 Speaker 4: football like you, I can see more. I think I 249 00:10:46,480 --> 00:10:49,120 Speaker 4: can identify things better when I can get up and 250 00:10:49,200 --> 00:10:51,319 Speaker 4: kind of see as a ball snap and stuff like that. 251 00:10:51,360 --> 00:10:53,600 Speaker 4: So yeah, they just give me a lot of a 252 00:10:53,600 --> 00:10:55,560 Speaker 4: lot of kind of freedom on that end, but they 253 00:10:55,640 --> 00:10:57,960 Speaker 4: trust me to operate within the framework of the defense 254 00:10:57,960 --> 00:10:58,320 Speaker 4: for sure. 255 00:10:58,840 --> 00:11:01,360 Speaker 1: I've always liked to added tode you've had as far 256 00:11:01,440 --> 00:11:04,280 Speaker 1: as rushing pass or you said you got to earn 257 00:11:04,280 --> 00:11:06,280 Speaker 1: the right to rush the pass, or can you talk 258 00:11:06,280 --> 00:11:10,200 Speaker 1: about the mentality you have against the run, because that's 259 00:11:10,240 --> 00:11:14,360 Speaker 1: something that you've excelled in day one even entered the 260 00:11:14,440 --> 00:11:15,559 Speaker 1: National Football League. 261 00:11:15,559 --> 00:11:20,240 Speaker 4: Right it actually it actually started. I think it was 262 00:11:20,880 --> 00:11:24,760 Speaker 4: after my twenty nineteen season at Georgia. Because I've always 263 00:11:24,800 --> 00:11:26,719 Speaker 4: been physical, obvious thought I played the run pretty good. 264 00:11:26,720 --> 00:11:29,080 Speaker 4: But when I was designing to come out for that 265 00:11:29,400 --> 00:11:31,520 Speaker 4: draft instead of the twenty twenty one draft, I came 266 00:11:31,559 --> 00:11:35,280 Speaker 4: out for it got my fileback because you know, the league, 267 00:11:35,320 --> 00:11:36,960 Speaker 4: the scouts, whatever, they have a file on you. I 268 00:11:36,960 --> 00:11:39,280 Speaker 4: was reading my file and kind of said, like I 269 00:11:39,360 --> 00:11:43,360 Speaker 4: was a good pass rusher or whatever, but he's not 270 00:11:43,480 --> 00:11:46,720 Speaker 4: physical and he doesn't play the run. Well, I was like, 271 00:11:46,800 --> 00:11:49,439 Speaker 4: all right, that was pretty much it. So I went 272 00:11:49,480 --> 00:11:53,360 Speaker 4: to ended up transferring to Florida State, and yeah, you know, 273 00:11:53,400 --> 00:11:56,120 Speaker 4: I shut all that down and then came into the 274 00:11:56,240 --> 00:11:57,880 Speaker 4: league my first year, I shut all that down. And 275 00:11:57,960 --> 00:11:59,640 Speaker 4: then it's just I mean, it's part of my pedigree. 276 00:11:59,760 --> 00:12:02,719 Speaker 4: Like I said, no, like I'm gonna out physical you. 277 00:12:02,800 --> 00:12:04,560 Speaker 4: I'm gonna make you quit before I do. And that's 278 00:12:04,600 --> 00:12:06,080 Speaker 4: in the run game, Like I'm gonna hit you in 279 00:12:06,080 --> 00:12:07,520 Speaker 4: your face. That's a perfect opportunity. 280 00:12:07,960 --> 00:12:09,400 Speaker 3: Thank you. You know what I'm saying. 281 00:12:09,400 --> 00:12:12,120 Speaker 4: Like it because the thing about this is it's about 282 00:12:12,240 --> 00:12:15,719 Speaker 4: who gets who gets someone to break first, because we're 283 00:12:15,760 --> 00:12:17,559 Speaker 4: all very gifted athletically. 284 00:12:17,760 --> 00:12:19,240 Speaker 3: It's about what's in here and what's in here? 285 00:12:19,280 --> 00:12:21,920 Speaker 1: So what's it like on the pro level dealing with 286 00:12:21,960 --> 00:12:25,559 Speaker 1: the chips. It's just not okay, I'm one on one 287 00:12:25,600 --> 00:12:28,240 Speaker 1: with the tackle that a lot of times, especially the 288 00:12:28,280 --> 00:12:31,360 Speaker 1: more successful you are, the more tension you're gonna get. 289 00:12:31,800 --> 00:12:33,960 Speaker 4: Yeah, like you just said, I kind of take it 290 00:12:33,960 --> 00:12:36,480 Speaker 4: as a compliment because all the best pass rushers are 291 00:12:36,480 --> 00:12:39,400 Speaker 4: getting chipped. They're not just gonna, you know, let you 292 00:12:39,640 --> 00:12:41,959 Speaker 4: tee off, right, So I mean, but that's a that's 293 00:12:41,960 --> 00:12:44,520 Speaker 4: a tribute to our whole defensive line. Everybody in there 294 00:12:44,600 --> 00:12:47,480 Speaker 4: is a dog and gets sit a quarterback at a 295 00:12:47,559 --> 00:12:50,679 Speaker 4: high rate. And you know, offenses aren't just gonna let 296 00:12:50,760 --> 00:12:54,760 Speaker 4: us tee off on their offensive line. So yeah, chips come, 297 00:12:54,800 --> 00:12:57,400 Speaker 4: and you take it as a compliment, and then you know, 298 00:12:57,480 --> 00:12:59,600 Speaker 4: you figure out to work your way through because nobody cares. 299 00:13:00,040 --> 00:13:01,240 Speaker 4: The end of the day, you see a statue and 300 00:13:01,280 --> 00:13:03,080 Speaker 4: you see the New York Jets d line how many 301 00:13:03,080 --> 00:13:05,080 Speaker 4: sacks they had, said, well, they. 302 00:13:04,960 --> 00:13:09,120 Speaker 3: Had some chips too, So now I don't nobody care. 303 00:13:09,200 --> 00:13:11,200 Speaker 4: So take it as you know, take it as it is, 304 00:13:11,240 --> 00:13:13,120 Speaker 4: and you know, figure out to get through it. 305 00:13:13,760 --> 00:13:16,360 Speaker 1: Can you talk about how close you guys are.

I'm more critical of myself 374 00:16:12,680 --> 00:16:14,520 Speaker 4: than anybody will ever be. So I'm just I was 375 00:16:14,600 --> 00:16:16,160 Speaker 4: kind of watching that and I'm just like it was 376 00:16:16,200 --> 00:16:17,920 Speaker 4: compared to my game, Like, yeah, I was good against 377 00:16:17,920 --> 00:16:20,480 Speaker 4: the run, but like you know, I didn't like I 378 00:16:20,520 --> 00:16:22,800 Speaker 4: didn't like instilled kind of fearing the people, Like I 379 00:16:22,840 --> 00:16:25,160 Speaker 4: didn't like hit people that hard, Like I didn't do 380 00:16:25,200 --> 00:16:29,120 Speaker 4: that and I wanted to. So, like I said, I 381 00:16:29,240 --> 00:16:31,520 Speaker 4: just and a lot of it comes from just strength 382 00:16:32,000 --> 00:16:32,960 Speaker 4: and explosion. 383 00:16:33,080 --> 00:16:35,440 Speaker 3: And JFM is very strong. He's very explosive. 384 00:16:35,480 --> 00:16:37,320 Speaker 4: So that's like it goes in hand in hand and 385 00:16:37,360 --> 00:16:39,200 Speaker 4: why I worked on what I worked on the offseason. 386 00:16:40,080 --> 00:16:41,680 Speaker 4: I mean when I came in camp, it was just 387 00:16:41,720 --> 00:16:44,480 Speaker 4: like I felt it like I didn't care who was 388 00:16:44,480 --> 00:16:47,200 Speaker 4: in front of me, like I'm gonna You're either gonna 389 00:16:47,200 --> 00:16:48,600 Speaker 4: be on your back or I'm gonna move you from 390 00:16:48,600 --> 00:16:52,240 Speaker 4: in front of me kind of thing. And yeah, like 391 00:16:52,280 --> 00:16:54,120 Speaker 4: I said, it's a tribute to who we have in 392 00:16:54,120 --> 00:16:57,280 Speaker 4: our room. Those guys set a good example and we 393 00:16:57,320 --> 00:16:59,200 Speaker 4: all have a standard, like we all hold each other 394 00:16:59,240 --> 00:16:59,960 Speaker 4: to the same standard. 395 00:17:00,000 --> 00:17:01,560 Speaker 3: It's really cool actually. 396 00:17:02,880 --> 00:17:04,840 Speaker 4: So like they operate that way and I'm over here, 397 00:17:04,880 --> 00:17:07,119 Speaker 4: like you know, I can't let these guys down, you 398 00:17:07,119 --> 00:17:08,320 Speaker 4: know what I'm saying like, if I'm going to be 399 00:17:08,400 --> 00:17:10,679 Speaker 4: on the field, like I have to uphold the same standard, right, 400 00:17:10,720 --> 00:17:11,960 Speaker 4: Like I have to go out there and it's got 401 00:17:12,000 --> 00:17:13,680 Speaker 4: to look the same. It's got to be the same attitude. 402 00:17:13,720 --> 00:17:16,040 Speaker 4: Like you know, our d line is feared. I really 403 00:17:16,040 --> 00:17:19,159 Speaker 4: believe that, and it's a standard at the end of 404 00:17:19,200 --> 00:17:19,520 Speaker 4: the day. 405 00:17:20,160 --> 00:17:23,399 Speaker 1: I told you this before earlier the season. One of 406 00:17:23,400 --> 00:17:26,720 Speaker 1: my favorite Jermaine plays this year came in Dallas. 407 00:17:28,080 --> 00:17:32,560 Speaker 2: Paton and Zach Martin Paul and you met it head on. 408 00:17:33,040 --> 00:17:37,040 Speaker 1: It took not only Martin out but an additional cowboy 409 00:17:37,200 --> 00:17:41,000 Speaker 1: and then Mosley comes in and makes the play. How 410 00:17:41,080 --> 00:17:44,800 Speaker 1: much did you enjoy not only that play, but any 411 00:17:45,000 --> 00:17:48,600 Speaker 1: of those plays like that, which is okay, here's a 412 00:17:48,600 --> 00:17:51,720 Speaker 1: fierce collision. I'm bringing the violence to the game and 413 00:17:51,760 --> 00:17:54,040 Speaker 1: one of my teammates is making the final play. 414 00:17:55,240 --> 00:17:58,960 Speaker 4: It's actually funny. I knew that play was coming then. 415 00:17:58,960 --> 00:18:01,359 Speaker 4: I told you that already. But I only knew that 416 00:18:01,359 --> 00:18:03,720 Speaker 4: play was coming was because they ran the same play 417 00:18:04,240 --> 00:18:07,639 Speaker 4: and the opposite end zone. At that time, I like 418 00:18:08,640 --> 00:18:11,280 Speaker 4: didn't really feel it as good. I mean, I still 419 00:18:11,280 --> 00:18:13,480 Speaker 4: sat it down and like, you know, hit Zach, but 420 00:18:14,440 --> 00:18:15,560 Speaker 4: he kind of got in. 421 00:18:15,560 --> 00:18:16,560 Speaker 3: My ear hole a little bit. 422 00:18:16,560 --> 00:18:19,280 Speaker 4: He hit me a little hard, which is good, great, 423 00:18:20,000 --> 00:18:22,359 Speaker 4: but I was like, okay, like I just kind of like, 424 00:18:22,560 --> 00:18:24,040 Speaker 4: you know, did that kind of thing, like all right, 425 00:18:24,119 --> 00:18:26,080 Speaker 4: let's do it.

You got your guy Dan Lanning 709 00:30:54,520 --> 00:30:57,320 Speaker 1: out there in Eugene. They're playing for the Pac twelve 710 00:30:57,400 --> 00:30:59,840 Speaker 1: championship and they got a chance and then you got 711 00:31:00,120 --> 00:31:03,520 Speaker 1: Florida State right there undefeated. 712 00:31:03,840 --> 00:31:09,600 Speaker 4: Yeah, it's crazy, but it's not surprising because obviously Kirby 713 00:31:09,640 --> 00:31:12,800 Speaker 4: smart held me to an extremely high standard and you 714 00:31:12,840 --> 00:31:16,080 Speaker 4: know didn't let me, you know, straight from that. Obviously, 715 00:31:16,480 --> 00:31:18,600 Speaker 4: Coach Lanny was my position coach in the DC at 716 00:31:18,600 --> 00:31:21,400 Speaker 4: the time.

So it's not surprising because all 720 00:31:29,840 --> 00:31:32,040 Speaker 4: three of those guys are you know, they're cut from 721 00:31:32,080 --> 00:31:35,520 Speaker 4: the same cloth. And it's funny. Coach Lane used to 722 00:31:35,600 --> 00:31:40,040 Speaker 4: work for Novelle in Memphis, and then Landing used to 723 00:31:40,080 --> 00:31:43,480 Speaker 4: work for Kirby, so it's like it's all kind of yeah, 724 00:31:43,720 --> 00:31:46,640 Speaker 4: it's not surprising then, because it's like, yeah, those guys 725 00:31:46,960 --> 00:31:50,720 Speaker 4: expect greatness and operate from from a framework that expects greatness, 726 00:31:50,720 --> 00:31:53,160 Speaker 4: and you know, it's kind of how they operate. 727 00:31:54,000 --> 00:31:55,640 Speaker 1: I can tell you this now we're at the end 728 00:31:55,720 --> 00:31:57,800 Speaker 1: here the pod and said, I went to grad school 729 00:31:57,800 --> 00:31:58,520 Speaker 1: at Florida so. 730 00:31:58,480 --> 00:32:01,760 Speaker 2: I watch that game Saturday night.
