I don't know, man, Just uh, this 22 00:01:22,240 --> 00:01:24,559 Speaker 1: is the chemistry. Like this year has been like probably 23 00:01:24,560 --> 00:01:27,039 Speaker 1: one of the the most especially I'll just speak even 24 00:01:27,080 --> 00:01:29,000 Speaker 1: from the D line perspective, the most tight knit D 25 00:01:29,120 --> 00:01:31,600 Speaker 1: lines I've been on since I've been here at the Hawks. Man, 26 00:01:31,640 --> 00:01:34,759 Speaker 1: it's just, uh, the energy is good. I mean, guys 27 00:01:34,800 --> 00:01:37,319 Speaker 1: playing great ball, executing at a high level, you know, 28 00:01:37,800 --> 00:01:39,640 Speaker 1: playing with a lot of energy. So it's just it's 29 00:01:39,680 --> 00:01:41,480 Speaker 1: been a dope year. I mean, you start off the 30 00:01:41,560 --> 00:01:44,000 Speaker 1: year one of your leaders and captains in that D 31 00:01:44,120 --> 00:01:48,120 Speaker 1: line room, Jay Reid, is out for six games, and 32 00:01:48,400 --> 00:01:50,320 Speaker 1: you know there's a lot of you know, us folks 33 00:01:50,320 --> 00:01:52,480 Speaker 1: in the media and the fan basically like, oh man, 34 00:01:52,520 --> 00:01:56,440 Speaker 1: this is who Mann? Do you know what they're gonna do? 35 00:01:56,600 --> 00:01:58,920 Speaker 1: But obviously what you guys did was you when I'm 36 00:01:58,920 --> 00:02:02,040 Speaker 1: there and played ball. The crazy thing is is that 37 00:02:02,200 --> 00:02:06,480 Speaker 1: you talk about the chemistry, Isn't the chemistry and being 38 00:02:06,480 --> 00:02:09,680 Speaker 1: a tight knit group the reason why you guys have 39 00:02:09,800 --> 00:02:12,000 Speaker 1: played so well on the field. Yeah, no doubt, because, 40 00:02:12,200 --> 00:02:14,480 Speaker 1: like I said, with with re being gone and guys 41 00:02:14,480 --> 00:02:17,320 Speaker 1: being gone, you know frankly, uh, you know traded this year, 42 00:02:17,520 --> 00:02:20,799 Speaker 1: guys know, like we're I hold each other accountable and 43 00:02:20,880 --> 00:02:23,359 Speaker 1: have high standards for each other. So when somebody's not playing, 44 00:02:23,600 --> 00:02:25,800 Speaker 1: we expect no drop off, you know, we expect guys 45 00:02:25,840 --> 00:02:27,440 Speaker 1: to raise the level of play. I even though I 46 00:02:27,480 --> 00:02:29,359 Speaker 1: had to raise my level of play, I had to 47 00:02:29,400 --> 00:02:31,280 Speaker 1: be more vocal out there, and like I said, they 48 00:02:31,360 --> 00:02:33,600 Speaker 1: just you see it out there, you know, guys playing 49 00:02:33,639 --> 00:02:36,360 Speaker 1: for each other, being selfless. They're on the line, and 50 00:02:36,360 --> 00:02:38,079 Speaker 1: like I said, the biggest thing. Like like I said, 51 00:02:38,080 --> 00:02:39,840 Speaker 1: I feel like especially the D line, we got a 52 00:02:39,840 --> 00:02:41,799 Speaker 1: bunch of guys like all could be starters in the league. 53 00:02:42,160 --> 00:02:44,240 Speaker 1: So like I said, when you get the opportunity, you know, 54 00:02:44,280 --> 00:02:45,880 Speaker 1: you just go put that on display. So I feel 55 00:02:45,919 --> 00:02:47,600 Speaker 1: like that's what you what you see out there? Yo, 56 00:02:47,680 --> 00:02:49,919 Speaker 1: the last time you was in for driving with g Man, 57 00:02:49,960 --> 00:02:52,639 Speaker 1: you look like you like ten pounds lighter.

They really don't care about the players. 118 00:05:22,839 --> 00:05:25,920 Speaker 1: But here you have coaches who care about the players, 119 00:05:25,960 --> 00:05:28,719 Speaker 1: who and just make the game fun, like like you 120 00:05:28,760 --> 00:05:31,640 Speaker 1: see us out there like it literally like I'm having fun. 121 00:05:31,680 --> 00:05:33,120 Speaker 1: I don't feel like I'm coming to work.

Yeah, this is this is 334 00:15:41,040 --> 00:15:44,760 Speaker 1: my my vehicle. Gotta keep it good. When you when 335 00:15:44,800 --> 00:15:48,120 Speaker 1: that time comes and you're thinking about life after football, 336 00:15:48,160 --> 00:15:49,880 Speaker 1: which a lot of you guys do. I have this 337 00:15:50,000 --> 00:15:53,640 Speaker 1: conversations off the record. You got what's something you want 338 00:15:53,640 --> 00:15:57,360 Speaker 1: to do after football? Some things you want to do? Um, 339 00:15:57,400 --> 00:15:59,800 Speaker 1: I'm kind of actually like dabbling and some stuff this year. 340 00:16:00,280 --> 00:16:03,400 Speaker 1: I mean, I just honestly, my biggest my biggest passion 341 00:16:03,440 --> 00:16:06,160 Speaker 1: outside of football is I love I love fashion. I 342 00:16:06,280 --> 00:16:09,280 Speaker 1: love clothes, shoes, I love design, you know, maybe something 343 00:16:09,280 --> 00:16:11,000 Speaker 1: in that round. But I also love like I say, 344 00:16:11,120 --> 00:16:15,400 Speaker 1: working with with with with kids. So man, just thinking 345 00:16:15,400 --> 00:16:18,400 Speaker 1: of ways I can incorporate those two things. You know. 346 00:16:18,400 --> 00:16:20,640 Speaker 1: Actually I tried to well, I don't even know if 347 00:16:20,640 --> 00:16:22,680 Speaker 1: I can talk about this year, but my cause, my 348 00:16:22,840 --> 00:16:24,480 Speaker 1: thing from my cause, my cleats has something to do 349 00:16:24,520 --> 00:16:27,120 Speaker 1: with that, you know, trying to fuse those two, my 350 00:16:27,160 --> 00:16:30,360 Speaker 1: two passions together. But just like I said, just this thing, 351 00:16:30,400 --> 00:16:32,480 Speaker 1: and like I said, this, you gotta be thinking about 352 00:16:32,480 --> 00:16:35,360 Speaker 1: it because it's it's inevitable. You know, you know it's 353 00:16:35,400 --> 00:16:37,840 Speaker 1: it's coming. But just you know, when you have your 354 00:16:37,840 --> 00:16:40,200 Speaker 1: off time, I just encourage guys, I said, just fine, 355 00:16:40,240 --> 00:16:42,760 Speaker 1: like I said, what you're really passionate about because you know, 356 00:16:42,800 --> 00:16:44,720 Speaker 1: you have players like myself. I've been playing football since 357 00:16:44,800 --> 00:16:47,280 Speaker 1: I was six years old, so I've been a big 358 00:16:47,360 --> 00:16:49,680 Speaker 1: part of my life. But you know, sometimes you've got 359 00:16:49,720 --> 00:16:51,440 Speaker 1: guys who really never had the time to figure like 360 00:16:51,480 --> 00:16:54,240 Speaker 1: the name, what do I really like, like what interests 361 00:16:54,280 --> 00:16:56,120 Speaker 1: me outside of football? So I mean I have my 362 00:16:56,200 --> 00:16:58,160 Speaker 1: interest there is just trying to find, like I guess, 363 00:16:58,240 --> 00:17:01,560 Speaker 1: an avenue to to do it. But one of the 364 00:17:01,600 --> 00:17:04,719 Speaker 1: things I will say, don't don't think that I don't 365 00:17:04,760 --> 00:17:11,120 Speaker 1: notice you and Brandon Jackson y'all be low key dressing. Man. 366 00:17:11,359 --> 00:17:17,120 Speaker 1: I'll be seeing y'all with the fashion. I'm like, okay, okay, yeah, y'all, 367 00:17:17,160 --> 00:17:19,160 Speaker 1: y'all be having a little competition with it, get each 368 00:17:19,200 --> 00:17:21,800 Speaker 1: other all.

Like 376 00:17:38,000 --> 00:17:40,480 Speaker 1: I said, the NFL, you know, a little tight knit 377 00:17:40,560 --> 00:17:43,239 Speaker 1: on the rules about like the uniform. But I feel like, 378 00:17:43,359 --> 00:17:45,720 Speaker 1: especially when you see the NBA doing it, it's cool 379 00:17:45,760 --> 00:17:49,080 Speaker 1: to let players express themselves, you know, you know, especially 380 00:17:49,119 --> 00:17:51,520 Speaker 1: if it's not doing anything harm to the brand. You know, 381 00:17:51,640 --> 00:17:54,240 Speaker 1: if you're able to surpress yourself and gets the fans engage, 382 00:17:54,240 --> 00:17:56,400 Speaker 1: they love seeing it, so said hopefully, like you said, 383 00:17:56,400 --> 00:17:58,800 Speaker 1: the NFL loosing up here another year or two, let 384 00:17:58,880 --> 00:18:01,119 Speaker 1: us do even more stuff with the stuff.
