Well, I sleep, you know, and I 197 00:08:35,200 --> 00:08:36,800 Speaker 3: breathe a lot. I do a lot of breath work. 198 00:08:37,320 --> 00:08:40,559 Speaker 2: I talked to my wife, uh you know, little things 199 00:08:40,600 --> 00:08:43,200 Speaker 2: like that, like just to when I don't bring a 200 00:08:43,240 --> 00:08:45,560 Speaker 2: lot of stresses that I have at work home and 201 00:08:45,800 --> 00:08:48,679 Speaker 2: she understands that. And I think just having a good, 202 00:08:48,720 --> 00:08:51,440 Speaker 2: healthy off the field life is the best thing. And 203 00:08:53,360 --> 00:08:56,040 Speaker 2: like I don't know, I chill, I don't, I don't 204 00:08:56,080 --> 00:08:57,400 Speaker 2: do my play my video game. 205 00:08:57,640 --> 00:09:02,439 Speaker 3: Uh yeah, I pray. 206 00:09:03,679 --> 00:09:07,800 Speaker 1: You've got two highly drafted young guys on the defensive 207 00:09:07,840 --> 00:09:11,440 Speaker 1: side of the balling up doing Darius. 208 00:09:10,320 --> 00:09:13,199 Speaker 3: Just your thoughts on them so far? Yeah. I trained 209 00:09:13,200 --> 00:09:16,280 Speaker 3: with Darius this off season. He was with me and Clemson. 210 00:09:16,960 --> 00:09:20,080 Speaker 2: Uh you know his and his tape at Toledo is 211 00:09:20,600 --> 00:09:21,319 Speaker 2: very impressive. 212 00:09:21,559 --> 00:09:21,679 Speaker 1: Uh. 213 00:09:22,400 --> 00:09:24,480 Speaker 2: So I think for him is just continue to learn 214 00:09:24,520 --> 00:09:26,960 Speaker 2: his position. For both of them, I think, and you 215 00:09:27,040 --> 00:09:29,360 Speaker 2: have to be smart to play this game, and you 216 00:09:29,400 --> 00:09:31,600 Speaker 2: gotta learn you gotta learn your position, and you gotta 217 00:09:31,640 --> 00:09:34,120 Speaker 2: learn why, you gotta learn how. And I think if 218 00:09:34,120 --> 00:09:36,360 Speaker 2: you're willing to do that, there's nowhere you can go. 219 00:09:36,400 --> 00:09:37,720 Speaker 2: There's nowhere that you can't go. 220 00:09:38,200 --> 00:09:41,160 Speaker 3: In your first impression, your first impression of. 221 00:09:41,400 --> 00:09:46,200 Speaker 2: Doing he swift, Yeah, he can move really well and 222 00:09:46,320 --> 00:09:49,080 Speaker 2: his tape is unbelievable as well. But like I said, 223 00:09:49,160 --> 00:09:51,600 Speaker 2: it's it's the beginning of training camp, and you know 224 00:09:51,880 --> 00:09:54,640 Speaker 2: it's you know, you chase perfection, but you'll never be 225 00:09:54,880 --> 00:09:57,920 Speaker 2: it'll never be perfected, so perfect perfection. 226 00:09:58,120 --> 00:09:59,520 Speaker 3: So I think that's the challenge.
