We just did 32 00:01:41,280 --> 00:01:43,520 Speaker 1: an update story a couple of weeks ago for like 33 00:01:43,600 --> 00:01:46,000 Speaker 1: the year anniversary from you know, my daughter should just 34 00:01:46,000 --> 00:01:48,640 Speaker 1: turned a year now walking around talking and stuff now, 35 00:01:48,720 --> 00:01:51,480 Speaker 1: So yeah, that would be fantastic when she's older to 36 00:01:51,480 --> 00:01:53,480 Speaker 1: be able to share that story with her will be unbelievable. 37 00:01:53,480 --> 00:01:56,280 Speaker 1: One I can show her on multiple different channels her 38 00:01:56,320 --> 00:01:59,960 Speaker 1: work story. You were a celebrity, probably your celebrity dinner 39 00:02:00,040 --> 00:02:04,600 Speaker 1: A right, Um, tell me about this team. You've been 40 00:02:04,640 --> 00:02:08,560 Speaker 1: around as long as anybody except for Shatley and By 41 00:02:08,639 --> 00:02:12,400 Speaker 1: and By I guess a day or two. Cam Um, 42 00:02:12,760 --> 00:02:15,680 Speaker 1: give me your perspective on this team, on where it 43 00:02:15,720 --> 00:02:18,200 Speaker 1: is and sort of what your messages to him is 44 00:02:18,240 --> 00:02:20,880 Speaker 1: a vet right now, Um what you gotta stay together. 45 00:02:20,919 --> 00:02:22,440 Speaker 1: I mean, it's it's been a whole bunch of ups 46 00:02:22,440 --> 00:02:24,480 Speaker 1: and downs this year, but the one thing that that's 47 00:02:24,520 --> 00:02:26,760 Speaker 1: been consistent is we've been in every single one of 48 00:02:26,760 --> 00:02:28,880 Speaker 1: these games. We'll be the loss by three points, are 49 00:02:29,320 --> 00:02:31,360 Speaker 1: less than a touchdown. I mean that that's different from 50 00:02:31,400 --> 00:02:33,679 Speaker 1: any other year. I mean usually whatever we're down, we 51 00:02:33,800 --> 00:02:35,720 Speaker 1: kind of get loved and we don't really know where're at. 52 00:02:35,760 --> 00:02:37,440 Speaker 1: But like we have, we have a lot to look 53 00:02:37,480 --> 00:02:39,240 Speaker 1: forward to. I mean, as long as we're able to 54 00:02:39,520 --> 00:02:42,280 Speaker 1: finish the games you know that that we're playing in 55 00:02:42,320 --> 00:02:45,200 Speaker 1: and actually win a couple more, you know, for like, 56 00:02:45,240 --> 00:02:47,200 Speaker 1: we'll be in a good place. That's a real thing. 57 00:02:47,200 --> 00:02:49,160 Speaker 1: And I mean we've talked about as so much in 58 00:02:49,200 --> 00:02:52,280 Speaker 1: the media that fans sort of zone out on it 59 00:02:52,360 --> 00:02:54,720 Speaker 1: and you say, hey, they've been close, they've had close games. 60 00:02:55,080 --> 00:02:57,400 Speaker 1: But as players, you guys can feel that that these 61 00:02:57,400 --> 00:03:01,680 Speaker 1: are all six games, all six losses, not just close scores. 62 00:03:02,200 --> 00:03:04,880 Speaker 1: But my guesses it feels to you guys after games 63 00:03:04,880 --> 00:03:07,760 Speaker 1: of and that was one that got away and it 64 00:03:07,800 --> 00:03:09,760 Speaker 1: hasn't been like that in the past. Yeah, it hasn't. 65 00:03:09,760 --> 00:03:11,440 Speaker 1: I mean, it's it's been a lot of it's been 66 00:03:11,480 --> 00:03:13,239 Speaker 1: a roller coast at last six years. I mean I 67 00:03:13,360 --> 00:03:15,800 Speaker 1: been through three different coaching changes and all the different things, 68 00:03:15,880 --> 00:03:18,360 Speaker 1: all the turmoil. But this year, I feel like it's 69 00:03:18,360 --> 00:03:20,200 Speaker 1: a lot of positive. It's a lot of good things going. 70 00:03:20,600 --> 00:03:23,239 Speaker 1: And you mentioned it. Um. We talked a lot in 71 00:03:23,280 --> 00:03:26,400 Speaker 1: the offseason about the culture change around here, even with 72 00:03:26,480 --> 00:03:29,720 Speaker 1: the record. Are you still feeling that, Oh yeah, definitely. 73 00:03:29,720 --> 00:03:32,440 Speaker 1: I mean the culture changes has been since day one, 74 00:03:32,480 --> 00:03:36,280 Speaker 1: since since uh Duck came in. He really instilled that 75 00:03:36,360 --> 00:03:38,520 Speaker 1: in this immediately, like we had to come on win 76 00:03:38,640 --> 00:03:40,560 Speaker 1: and the way we practiced too, like we practice hard, 77 00:03:40,600 --> 00:03:42,360 Speaker 1: we make sure that we're preparing to win each week. 78 00:03:42,360 --> 00:03:44,880 Speaker 1: And that's the thing that was that he kept saying, 79 00:03:44,880 --> 00:03:46,960 Speaker 1: we had to prepare to win Monday through Friday. We 80 00:03:47,000 --> 00:03:50,040 Speaker 1: have to prepare, I mean, And that's that's something that's 81 00:03:50,040 --> 00:03:52,600 Speaker 1: been different from other coaches. For sure. Always said that 82 00:03:54,000 --> 00:03:57,440 Speaker 1: coaches okay, as long as they're hearing his message. And 83 00:03:57,800 --> 00:04:01,840 Speaker 1: it really seems like you guys hear what he's saying 84 00:04:02,080 --> 00:04:07,360 Speaker 1: and buy into the direction. Uh whatever word I'm getting at, 85 00:04:07,400 --> 00:04:10,280 Speaker 1: but what he wants you guys buy into. Yeah. Yeah, 86 00:04:10,360 --> 00:04:12,680 Speaker 1: we definitely. I feel like we've we've all bought bought in, 87 00:04:12,760 --> 00:04:14,320 Speaker 1: and I mean it shows them on the field as 88 00:04:14,320 --> 00:04:16,720 Speaker 1: well too. We just gotta be able to figure out 89 00:04:16,800 --> 00:04:18,560 Speaker 1: how to win, that's all it is. I mean, we 90 00:04:18,600 --> 00:04:20,680 Speaker 1: have to learn how to win and you know, take 91 00:04:20,720 --> 00:04:22,600 Speaker 1: advantage of the opportunities out are in front of us. 92 00:04:22,800 --> 00:04:25,680 Speaker 1: What does that mean, learn how to win? I would 93 00:04:25,680 --> 00:04:28,760 Speaker 1: definitely say just uh in critical situations, being able to 94 00:04:28,960 --> 00:04:31,520 Speaker 1: you know, win those critical situations two or three plays 95 00:04:31,520 --> 00:04:33,599 Speaker 1: where you know, maybe like a fourth down we have 96 00:04:33,640 --> 00:04:35,080 Speaker 1: to win that, Like fourth and one, we have to 97 00:04:35,080 --> 00:04:37,160 Speaker 1: win that. Or you know, maybe we you know, kick 98 00:04:37,200 --> 00:04:39,520 Speaker 1: a field goal instead of going four or fourth down. 99 00:04:39,560 --> 00:04:41,600 Speaker 1: Just the little things that we can you know, be 100 00:04:41,600 --> 00:04:46,400 Speaker 1: better at. You've seen some stuff in the NFL six. Yeah, 101 00:04:46,440 --> 00:04:49,600 Speaker 1: I mean it's uh, it's funny to be talking to 102 00:04:49,640 --> 00:04:52,560 Speaker 1: somebody who's in a six year as the season vet. 103 00:04:52,640 --> 00:04:58,320 Speaker 1: But you are would smooth two thousand seventeen. Believe the 104 00:04:58,320 --> 00:05:03,120 Speaker 1: stories you told them now, No, definitely, he smoothed it 105 00:05:03,120 --> 00:05:05,360 Speaker 1: out of the seventeen. Was just a little curly headed boy, 106 00:05:05,520 --> 00:05:07,560 Speaker 1: just didn't know what was going on, kind of just 107 00:05:07,560 --> 00:05:09,680 Speaker 1: trying to figure it out. You know, in front of 108 00:05:09,720 --> 00:05:12,680 Speaker 1: a bunch of all pros like Malik and Kliss. I mean, 109 00:05:12,760 --> 00:05:14,440 Speaker 1: I had no idea what my career was going to be, 110 00:05:14,520 --> 00:05:17,240 Speaker 1: but you know, kind of just make shift in my 111 00:05:17,240 --> 00:05:18,440 Speaker 1: own career and make sure to my own way in 112 00:05:18,480 --> 00:05:20,960 Speaker 1: the NFL. And it's been good. A couple of questions 113 00:05:20,960 --> 00:05:25,160 Speaker 1: on those lines as the VET, You've seen so many 114 00:05:25,200 --> 00:05:28,120 Speaker 1: guys come through, and I was thinking a second ago, 115 00:05:29,040 --> 00:05:33,799 Speaker 1: do you even bother meeting everybody now? Or you're just like, Okay, 116 00:05:34,000 --> 00:05:36,440 Speaker 1: once he's been here a couple of months, I'll get 117 00:05:36,480 --> 00:05:39,359 Speaker 1: to know this cat. I mean, it kind of depends 118 00:05:39,360 --> 00:05:40,960 Speaker 1: on the person. I mean, I know what Tray fine. 119 00:05:40,960 --> 00:05:42,640 Speaker 1: When he first came in, we and we hit it off. 120 00:05:42,839 --> 00:05:45,040 Speaker 1: I mean I kind of called him my my rookie 121 00:05:45,080 --> 00:05:47,400 Speaker 1: is we've really hit it off and kind of tooking 122 00:05:47,440 --> 00:05:49,919 Speaker 1: him under my wing and kind of, you know, introduced 123 00:05:50,000 --> 00:05:53,279 Speaker 1: him to everything. But I mean usually whenever guy's come in, 124 00:05:53,320 --> 00:05:56,120 Speaker 1: I'm usually laid back kind of guy. I don't necessarily 125 00:05:56,120 --> 00:05:58,320 Speaker 1: go and like hey, you know and be that guy 126 00:05:58,360 --> 00:06:00,960 Speaker 1: that usually come to me. So did you come close 127 00:06:01,040 --> 00:06:05,320 Speaker 1: to naming every defensive line my teammate you've had? Yeah, 128 00:06:05,680 --> 00:06:08,280 Speaker 1: I can ask you to. Yeah, I feel like I can, 129 00:06:08,440 --> 00:06:10,640 Speaker 1: like especially across the defensive line, like I usually know 130 00:06:10,680 --> 00:06:14,920 Speaker 1: everyone you guys get tight. So, um, was there ever 131 00:06:14,960 --> 00:06:17,279 Speaker 1: a time, and now we've talked about in this podcast 132 00:06:17,320 --> 00:06:20,840 Speaker 1: before tough times for you in seventeen eighteen, even in 133 00:06:20,880 --> 00:06:25,280 Speaker 1: the nineteen a little bit, um maybe more eighteen. Was 134 00:06:25,320 --> 00:06:27,560 Speaker 1: therever a time during all that where you wondered if 135 00:06:27,600 --> 00:06:30,560 Speaker 1: you were going to make it? Yeah? I would say 136 00:06:30,640 --> 00:06:34,000 Speaker 1: going into my third year it was a questionableut. I 137 00:06:34,000 --> 00:06:35,440 Speaker 1: mean it was I think it was. It was like 138 00:06:35,480 --> 00:06:37,560 Speaker 1: after the last preseason game, and it was a lot 139 00:06:37,600 --> 00:06:39,480 Speaker 1: of a lot of things in the media like is 140 00:06:39,480 --> 00:06:41,480 Speaker 1: he gonna make it? Is he not going to make out? 141 00:06:41,560 --> 00:06:43,600 Speaker 1: On the bubble? You know, I don't really know what 142 00:06:43,640 --> 00:06:45,800 Speaker 1: my career was gonna hold, but um, I mean I 143 00:06:45,839 --> 00:06:47,520 Speaker 1: had some good vets around me to kind of keep 144 00:06:47,560 --> 00:06:49,520 Speaker 1: me on on a straight and narrow you know, and 145 00:06:49,680 --> 00:06:51,400 Speaker 1: I kind of figured it out, figured out my place 146 00:06:51,440 --> 00:06:53,839 Speaker 1: on on third down, and I just ran with it. 147 00:06:54,040 --> 00:06:55,520 Speaker 1: And I was gonna ask you what changed on that 148 00:06:55,680 --> 00:06:59,280 Speaker 1: because since then, I believe it or not, since then, 149 00:06:59,760 --> 00:07:02,080 Speaker 1: when the lights sort of came on, that's phrase you 150 00:07:02,080 --> 00:07:05,359 Speaker 1: want to use. No Jaguar since then has more sacks 151 00:07:05,360 --> 00:07:09,960 Speaker 1: than you, which which is you know, it hasn't been 152 00:07:10,000 --> 00:07:12,480 Speaker 1: fifteen sacks a year, but it's been six and five 153 00:07:12,520 --> 00:07:14,240 Speaker 1: and this year you're on pace for six or seven 154 00:07:14,360 --> 00:07:18,720 Speaker 1: solid numbers. Um, what changed? How are you able to 155 00:07:18,720 --> 00:07:20,960 Speaker 1: sort of become a guy who really wouldn't get on 156 00:07:21,000 --> 00:07:23,560 Speaker 1: the field to being very consistent even you're not getting sacks, 157 00:07:23,560 --> 00:07:26,200 Speaker 1: you're getting pressure, you're there, you're making plays. I would 158 00:07:26,200 --> 00:07:28,600 Speaker 1: say my off season, my off season training it dad 159 00:07:28,640 --> 00:07:31,400 Speaker 1: definitely changed and how serious I took the game with 160 00:07:31,800 --> 00:07:33,800 Speaker 1: you know, the birth of my son as well too, 161 00:07:33,920 --> 00:07:36,960 Speaker 1: how serious I took everything at that point, Um, completely 162 00:07:36,960 --> 00:07:39,520 Speaker 1: figured out my regiment of how to you know, train 163 00:07:39,640 --> 00:07:42,679 Speaker 1: as an NFL player. And with the help of Jason Smith, 164 00:07:42,680 --> 00:07:46,480 Speaker 1: Fair Rising, grind in Town, lunch Park. Um, we really 165 00:07:46,520 --> 00:07:49,440 Speaker 1: we've we created a little system and it's it's helped out. 166 00:07:49,520 --> 00:07:52,800 Speaker 1: You know, we've kept we've kept that six sack you know, Mark, 167 00:07:53,000 --> 00:07:55,000 Speaker 1: and we've been trying to meet that each year. Now 168 00:07:55,000 --> 00:07:57,960 Speaker 1: this year and you're getting six twice and five and 169 00:07:57,960 --> 00:08:00,720 Speaker 1: a half once. I'm sure you know the numbers. Yeah, 170 00:08:00,920 --> 00:08:03,400 Speaker 1: six point five this year? Is that mean obviously bigger 171 00:08:03,400 --> 00:08:05,520 Speaker 1: than that. But is that something that you think about 172 00:08:05,760 --> 00:08:08,520 Speaker 1: or it's a benchmark. I mean it's always I'm always 173 00:08:08,640 --> 00:08:11,240 Speaker 1: minimal six sacks, but gotcha. I mean that that was 174 00:08:11,240 --> 00:08:12,960 Speaker 1: my best year. I'm trying to beat my best, you know, 175 00:08:13,200 --> 00:08:15,080 Speaker 1: so each year I'm trying to just make that and 176 00:08:15,080 --> 00:08:18,520 Speaker 1: then anything else. It's just like you know, like on 177 00:08:18,600 --> 00:08:21,160 Speaker 1: top now the stat I just gave you, well you 178 00:08:21,160 --> 00:08:23,560 Speaker 1: you use that on Josh Allen that you've got more 179 00:08:23,600 --> 00:08:29,280 Speaker 1: sacks in the last three years. I'll definitely what I 180 00:08:29,320 --> 00:08:32,120 Speaker 1: think we talked the first time we talked um about 181 00:08:32,120 --> 00:08:35,079 Speaker 1: what Jacksonville has come to mean to you. And I've 182 00:08:35,080 --> 00:08:37,600 Speaker 1: been pretty public about loving the city, loving the area. 183 00:08:38,120 --> 00:08:42,440 Speaker 1: Uh in six years, what has the city come to 184 00:08:42,480 --> 00:08:44,800 Speaker 1: mean to you? There's a community because you're a guy 185 00:08:44,840 --> 00:08:47,560 Speaker 1: they've really embraced. I definitely feel like it's it's just 186 00:08:47,600 --> 00:08:49,680 Speaker 1: a community part of it. I mean, it's such a 187 00:08:49,679 --> 00:08:52,840 Speaker 1: big opportunity here in Jacksonville to build, you know. I mean, 188 00:08:52,880 --> 00:08:54,720 Speaker 1: like you can see in the downtown is building every 189 00:08:54,760 --> 00:08:56,920 Speaker 1: They're building new things every day. And you know over 190 00:08:56,920 --> 00:08:59,240 Speaker 1: there where I live near like San Marco, Saint Nicholas 191 00:08:59,280 --> 00:09:01,320 Speaker 1: as well too, Like we really invested into the community. 192 00:09:01,320 --> 00:09:02,920 Speaker 1: Me and my wife, we bought our house. You know, 193 00:09:03,000 --> 00:09:05,720 Speaker 1: we have business here. We have our own daycare here 194 00:09:05,720 --> 00:09:07,760 Speaker 1: as well too that we're getting so, I mean, it's 195 00:09:07,760 --> 00:09:10,360 Speaker 1: really become like like home for me. I mean, I 196 00:09:10,360 --> 00:09:12,880 Speaker 1: don't see myself leaving. I don't. I don't. Always said. 197 00:09:12,920 --> 00:09:15,360 Speaker 1: Once guys start figuring out that you can live in 198 00:09:15,400 --> 00:09:18,560 Speaker 1: San Marco and Riverside, that's when you know you've been 199 00:09:18,559 --> 00:09:20,520 Speaker 1: around a while because usually they all got to the beach, 200 00:09:20,559 --> 00:09:24,640 Speaker 1: they go out to uh you know, uh, the newer places. 201 00:09:24,679 --> 00:09:26,520 Speaker 1: But you're an old school guy like me, right, Yeah, 202 00:09:26,520 --> 00:09:28,600 Speaker 1: it's it's it's a lot of hidden gyms they really 203 00:09:28,600 --> 00:09:30,400 Speaker 1: don't know about in San Marco. You can get a 204 00:09:30,480 --> 00:09:33,800 Speaker 1: big place on the water a little to nothing. Back 205 00:09:33,800 --> 00:09:35,680 Speaker 1: in the day, in the mid nineties, I lived in 206 00:09:35,720 --> 00:09:38,160 Speaker 1: San Marco. I can no longer for because I don't 207 00:09:38,160 --> 00:09:42,680 Speaker 1: play in the NFL, But obviously you see yourself staying 208 00:09:42,720 --> 00:09:46,600 Speaker 1: here after football. How long do you want to play? 209 00:09:46,800 --> 00:09:49,560 Speaker 1: Are you reaching that point? Or Am I asking that 210 00:09:49,640 --> 00:09:51,599 Speaker 1: question way too soon? I feel like it's it's a 211 00:09:51,600 --> 00:09:53,800 Speaker 1: little too soon right now. I know I've talked, you know, 212 00:09:53,920 --> 00:09:55,520 Speaker 1: I've spoken to my wife about it as well to 213 00:09:55,679 --> 00:09:58,079 Speaker 1: me I mean, I'm going for the tenure in Mark, 214 00:09:58,120 --> 00:09:59,800 Speaker 1: but you never know, I might go farther than that. 215 00:10:00,200 --> 00:10:03,000 Speaker 1: We'll see. Are you a better player now? I mean, 216 00:10:03,040 --> 00:10:05,160 Speaker 1: obviously you're a better player now that when you're a rookie. 217 00:10:05,480 --> 00:10:09,360 Speaker 1: But where are you better and how have you matured? 218 00:10:10,080 --> 00:10:13,000 Speaker 1: I guess I would say my um my patients with 219 00:10:13,040 --> 00:10:14,760 Speaker 1: the game. I mean, just letting things come to me 220 00:10:14,800 --> 00:10:18,320 Speaker 1: instead of me chasing, um me, knowing when and where 221 00:10:18,320 --> 00:10:20,760 Speaker 1: to pick my spots, you know, especially inside being a 222 00:10:20,840 --> 00:10:24,959 Speaker 1: rushmore inside. I know that you know, guards are usually 223 00:10:25,000 --> 00:10:28,319 Speaker 1: not they don't usually expect this mismatch inside. And I'm 224 00:10:28,320 --> 00:10:30,080 Speaker 1: a little bit faster, you know, I'm able to use 225 00:10:30,120 --> 00:10:31,840 Speaker 1: my hands down there, and I'm able to kind of 226 00:10:31,840 --> 00:10:34,120 Speaker 1: take advantage of those things. And you know, me rushing 227 00:10:34,120 --> 00:10:36,679 Speaker 1: on the outside as well too, I'm able to do both, 228 00:10:37,000 --> 00:10:39,920 Speaker 1: you know, like I've I've gotten better in both for sure. 229 00:10:40,600 --> 00:10:42,480 Speaker 1: A couple of final questions one on Trayvon one the 230 00:10:42,520 --> 00:10:45,800 Speaker 1: defensive line room. But you mentioned being close to Trayvon. 231 00:10:47,520 --> 00:10:50,680 Speaker 1: What have you tried to be to him in terms 232 00:10:50,679 --> 00:10:53,559 Speaker 1: of a mentor in terms of the guide? Uh, I 233 00:10:53,600 --> 00:10:55,800 Speaker 1: guess tell me about that relationship. Well, first I try 234 00:10:55,840 --> 00:10:59,320 Speaker 1: to be as realator. He was asking around like where 235 00:10:59,360 --> 00:11:02,040 Speaker 1: to live, things like that, trying to tell him all 236 00:11:02,080 --> 00:11:04,640 Speaker 1: about San Marco and everything like that. But I'm just 237 00:11:04,679 --> 00:11:06,079 Speaker 1: trying to be you know, the show to lean on, 238 00:11:06,160 --> 00:11:07,960 Speaker 1: you know, if there's anything that he needs, you know, 239 00:11:08,000 --> 00:11:09,880 Speaker 1: any any problem that he has, you know, someone to 240 00:11:09,920 --> 00:11:11,839 Speaker 1: talk to. More than anything, just trying to help him 241 00:11:11,840 --> 00:11:13,280 Speaker 1: with the game as well to trying to help him 242 00:11:13,320 --> 00:11:15,680 Speaker 1: with his hand placement and things like that. To speed 243 00:11:15,679 --> 00:11:17,560 Speaker 1: of the game and you know, how how things change 244 00:11:17,559 --> 00:11:20,360 Speaker 1: and how long the season is, I mean, and also 245 00:11:20,400 --> 00:11:22,199 Speaker 1: how to take care of your body. You know, the 246 00:11:22,200 --> 00:11:24,080 Speaker 1: season is very long, and for a rookie it feels 247 00:11:24,120 --> 00:11:27,520 Speaker 1: like forever. And it's unbelievable. At you all's position, I've 248 00:11:27,559 --> 00:11:30,920 Speaker 1: always back in the day, we were talking to log 249 00:11:31,040 --> 00:11:34,080 Speaker 1: Himan about this, how different the game is in the 250 00:11:34,160 --> 00:11:35,560 Speaker 1: NFL in terms of what you guys have to do 251 00:11:35,600 --> 00:11:39,680 Speaker 1: with your hands and in terms of techniques. Most rookies 252 00:11:39,720 --> 00:11:43,120 Speaker 1: have no clue what you have to do in terms 253 00:11:43,120 --> 00:11:46,520 Speaker 1: of fundamentals with hands and with movies do that. It's 254 00:11:46,600 --> 00:11:48,520 Speaker 1: it's hard, I mean, it's very hard. It's it's kind 255 00:11:48,520 --> 00:11:49,959 Speaker 1: of like one of those things you don't figure out 256 00:11:50,000 --> 00:11:53,439 Speaker 1: until your second or third year. But everything just has 257 00:11:53,440 --> 00:11:55,440 Speaker 1: to be on time, like you have to throw your 258 00:11:55,679 --> 00:11:58,240 Speaker 1: move on your third second step depending on who you're 259 00:11:58,240 --> 00:12:00,480 Speaker 1: going against. And that comes with film studies too, And 260 00:12:00,520 --> 00:12:02,920 Speaker 1: that's all the difference in the world, all the difference. 261 00:12:03,920 --> 00:12:07,040 Speaker 1: Tell me what the defensive line room, it seems like 262 00:12:07,120 --> 00:12:11,400 Speaker 1: a room that is jelling and I guess with art 263 00:12:11,440 --> 00:12:14,040 Speaker 1: and being around a room with some personality, right, Yeah, 264 00:12:14,120 --> 00:12:17,240 Speaker 1: definitely are and as a character, he's a glue that 265 00:12:17,320 --> 00:12:20,160 Speaker 1: kind of keeps us all together. I mean we we eat, 266 00:12:20,240 --> 00:12:23,280 Speaker 1: eat lunch together, we do everything together. Me Josh, Trapline 267 00:12:23,320 --> 00:12:25,440 Speaker 1: and Arn't as well. You know, we just we just 268 00:12:25,480 --> 00:12:27,720 Speaker 1: kind of jailed and immediately from day one, and you know, 269 00:12:27,760 --> 00:12:31,000 Speaker 1: we're just building on a relationship every day. Final general question, 270 00:12:31,520 --> 00:12:33,440 Speaker 1: mindset of this team going forward, Where do you feel 271 00:12:33,440 --> 00:12:36,360 Speaker 1: like you're at? Uh? I mean, I feel like this 272 00:12:36,440 --> 00:12:39,520 Speaker 1: cliche listening to Trevor earlier today, where we're just we 273 00:12:39,600 --> 00:12:41,360 Speaker 1: we have everything in front of us, literally, we have 274 00:12:41,440 --> 00:12:43,160 Speaker 1: everything in front of us. Just with a f C. 275 00:12:43,280 --> 00:12:45,560 Speaker 1: We see people only have three or four wins, you 276 00:12:45,559 --> 00:12:48,120 Speaker 1: know stuff for the outliners people have six. But we're 277 00:12:48,200 --> 00:12:50,079 Speaker 1: we're right there. I mean we have. We have a lot, 278 00:12:50,120 --> 00:12:51,840 Speaker 1: a lot of things in front of us and our division. 279 00:12:51,880 --> 00:12:54,400 Speaker 1: We're still third in our division despite our six losses. 280 00:12:54,440 --> 00:12:56,439 Speaker 1: So I feel like if we turn it around now, 281 00:12:56,520 --> 00:12:58,280 Speaker 1: I mean, we can be in a playoff round before 282 00:12:58,280 --> 00:13:01,080 Speaker 1: we know the final thing. I'm sure you know what's coming. 283 00:13:01,120 --> 00:13:08,760 Speaker 1: The ozone five five five of our quick questions has 284 00:13:08,800 --> 00:13:12,560 Speaker 1: some fun with you now a year later?
