00:00:00,360 --> 00:00:02,440
Speaker 1: Josh, could you talk a little bit about about the

2
00:00:02,480 --> 00:00:04,520

8
00:00:18,840 --> 00:00:20,759
Speaker 2: where they may or what I mean, good things come

9
00:00:20,800 --> 00:00:21,599
Speaker 2: to go to wait.

10
00:00:22,120 --> 00:00:24,760
Speaker 1: You know, for me, it was just to see, you know,

11
00:00:25,079 --> 00:00:27,200
Speaker 1: when the when that right opportunity was gonna come and

12
00:00:27,320 --> 00:00:30,720
Speaker 1: just maximize the value that I could bring and maximize

13
00:00:30,760 --> 00:00:33,559
Speaker 1: the value that I think I should. But you know,

14
00:00:33,600 --> 00:00:37,120
Speaker 1: we agreed on both parts. It was like this, we

15
00:00:37,159 --> 00:00:39,880
Speaker 1: could have went either way, but we we agreed this.

16
00:00:39,800 --> 00:00:42,159
Speaker 2: Is the timing, perfect timing for us. Uh.

17
00:00:42,280 --> 00:00:44,600
Speaker 1: Well, LTA's coming up, and you know, be there to

18
00:00:44,680 --> 00:00:47,839
Speaker 1: see and be around coach uh Ryan Nielsen and be

19
00:00:47,920 --> 00:00:50,640
Speaker 1: around the guys for a little bit before I take

20
00:00:50,680 --> 00:00:52,440
Speaker 1: off of my journey what got me to here. So

21
00:00:52,479 --> 00:00:54,800
Speaker 1: I really can't switch up, can't do anything different. I

22
00:00:55,280 --> 00:00:57,760
Speaker 1: you know, my wife, my wife, My wife's been s

23
00:00:57,880 --> 00:01:01,639
Speaker 1: so so helpful with me through this. So through this process, man,

24
00:01:01,720 --> 00:01:05,080
Speaker 1: and because it's you never know, every time is just

25
00:01:05,120 --> 00:01:07,520
Speaker 1: different every year, Like you want to keep doing the

26
00:01:07,560 --> 00:01:11,440
Speaker 1: same thing at the same time, the same schedule, but

27
00:01:11,520 --> 00:01:14,360
Speaker 1: you can't because life, life happens, and things changes. So

28
00:01:14,640 --> 00:01:16,080
Speaker 1: for me, it's like, Okay, what do I do next?

29
00:01:16,080 --> 00:01:17,520
Speaker 1: How do I handle it? How do I do this?

30
00:01:18,160 --> 00:01:21,360
Speaker 1: May was just like do the same thing, just extended

31
00:01:21,400 --> 00:01:23,720
Speaker 1: a couple of times, like, you know, so don't stress

32
00:01:23,760 --> 00:01:25,880
Speaker 1: about anything because you know, I go training in Arizona

33
00:01:26,360 --> 00:01:29,240
Speaker 1: and I feel like that process got me to perform

34
00:01:29,280 --> 00:01:31,560
Speaker 1: at a very high level, that got me mentally physically

35
00:01:31,600 --> 00:01:35,360
Speaker 1: ready to compete and to perform. And so for me,

36
00:01:35,440 --> 00:01:36,480
Speaker 1: I was like, well, I got to get out there.

37
00:01:36,480 --> 00:01:38,480
Speaker 1: I gotta do this, but not knowing what my contract

38
00:01:38,520 --> 00:01:41,720
Speaker 1: situation was gonna be like, so my wife was really

39
00:01:41,840 --> 00:01:47,320
Speaker 1: just like, Josh, take care of your body, trust the process,

40
00:01:48,120 --> 00:01:50,800
Speaker 1: and just stay the grind and when the time comes,

41
00:01:50,840 --> 00:01:52,920
Speaker 1: the time will come when you need to go out there.

42
00:01:53,000 --> 00:01:55,279
Speaker 1: So for me, it was just having the right mental

43
00:01:55,320 --> 00:01:58,480
Speaker 1: headspace and staying focused and staying committed to what I

44
00:01:58,520 --> 00:02:00,800
Speaker 1: do best, and you know, staying in shape.

45
00:02:01,040 --> 00:02:03,280
Speaker 2: So just to be clear, you weren't antsy at all,

46
00:02:03,520 --> 00:02:06,240
Speaker 2: no or anything like that.

47
00:02:07,080 --> 00:02:09,120
Speaker 1: You know, what I was told, man, you got into

00:02:09,240 --> 00:02:13,359
Speaker 1: July fifteenth or July twelfth or July thirteenth to that day.

49
00:02:13,400 --> 00:02:14,799
Speaker 1: So I was like, oh, I got plenty of time,

50
00:02:15,160 --> 00:02:17,400
Speaker 1: you know, but I also wanted to figure out what

51
00:02:17,480 --> 00:02:19,560
Speaker 1: my schedule was gonna be, like how I was gonna train,

52
00:02:19,639 --> 00:02:23,520
Speaker 1: when I was going train, you know. So glad we

00:04:22,960 --> 00:04:24,760
Speaker 1: days and figuring out if I wanna go back to

99
00:04:24,800 --> 00:04:27,839
Speaker 1: school or not. And I remember having talking to coach,

100
00:04:28,560 --> 00:04:31,760
Speaker 1: you know, coach uh Stoops at the time, and you

101
00:04:31,800 --> 00:04:34,039
Speaker 1: know he he is the first time I heard generation

102
00:04:34,160 --> 00:04:37,479
Speaker 1: of wealth and you know, not knowing what that word meant,

103
00:04:37,520 --> 00:04:39,960
Speaker 1: not knowing the value of it, to knowing that I

104
00:04:40,040 --> 00:04:41,920
Speaker 1: just had my son, you know, I wanna be with

105
00:04:41,960 --> 00:04:44,719
Speaker 1: my girlfriend at the time, my wife now for the

106
00:04:44,720 --> 00:04:47,440
Speaker 1: rest of our lives, and just knowing what that really meant.

107
00:04:47,480 --> 00:04:49,760
Speaker 1: And I took a bet on myself, gamble on myself,

108
00:04:49,800 --> 00:04:52,080
Speaker 1: and it paid out. Became a first round drift pick

109
00:04:52,120 --> 00:04:56,359
Speaker 1: seventh overall, uh fortunate to come here. And then you know,

110
00:04:56,520 --> 00:04:59,200
Speaker 1: seeing the things through and not knowing that it's not

111
00:04:59,240 --> 00:05:02,240
Speaker 1: the first contract, second contract, and knowing that, you know,

112
00:05:02,279 --> 00:05:07,039
Speaker 1: I reached that point and I'm maximized on being patient,

113
00:05:07,120 --> 00:05:09,920
Speaker 1: staying humble, staying on the grind, and staying dedicated to

114
00:05:09,960 --> 00:05:13,240
Speaker 1: what I do, and so I'm very emotional right now.

115
00:05:14,200 --> 00:05:19,039
Speaker 2: But you know, the job's not job. I'm not done yet,

116
00:05:19,240 --> 00:05:19,400
Speaker 2: you know.

117
00:05:19,440 --> 00:05:20,960
Speaker 1: And that's why I want to tell the fan base

118
00:05:21,040 --> 00:05:24,120
Speaker 1: like I'm extremely blessed and honored to to get this

119
00:05:24,760 --> 00:05:28,919
Speaker 1: paycheck or to get these checks. But I have to

120
00:05:29,680 --> 00:05:31,480
Speaker 1: you know, I I still set goals for myself. I

121
00:05:31,560 --> 00:05:34,480
Speaker 1: was Defensive Play of the Years. Is is my next goal?

122
00:05:35,720 --> 00:05:38,000
Speaker 1: Winning the Super Bowl? Being the MVP of it. My

123
00:05:38,279 --> 00:05:41,039
Speaker 1: I teld you I'm a legacy guy. I know I'm rambling.

124
00:05:41,120 --> 00:05:44,080
Speaker 1: I'm gonna ramble. Uh, I'm a legacy guy. And I

125
00:05:44,200 --> 00:05:45,680
Speaker 1: like I told myself a long time.

126
00:05:46,000 --> 00:05:46,480
Speaker 2: Uh.

127
00:05:46,520 --> 00:05:48,040
Speaker 1: And when I look back at my legacy, I look

128
00:05:48,080 --> 00:05:50,560
Speaker 1: at my family. You know, my sister has wanted a

129
00:05:51,000 --> 00:05:54,599
Speaker 1: professional championship, so she's up on me. I think about

130
00:05:54,600 --> 00:05:57,000
Speaker 1: this all the time. I know I'm super competitive. So

131
00:05:57,520 --> 00:05:59,560
Speaker 1: I gotta win a super Bowl and be the MVP,

132
00:06:00,040 --> 00:06:02,000
Speaker 1: and I could be up on and I'm not gonna

133
00:06:02,000 --> 00:06:03,040
Speaker 1: stop until I get that.

134
00:06:03,279 --> 00:06:06,320
Speaker 2: So you know that's that's that's motivating me. That's bigger

135
00:06:06,320 --> 00:06:07,240
Speaker 2: than money, you know.

136
00:06:07,480 --> 00:06:10,520
Speaker 1: So for me, if I can do that and bring

137
00:06:10,520 --> 00:06:13,320
Speaker 1: the first one to Jacksonville, man, I will be you

138
00:06:13,320 --> 00:06:15,440
Speaker 1: know extremely in b MVP.

139
00:06:16,480 --> 00:06:19,120
Speaker 2: That's my goal. I'm not stopping to all get that.

140
00:06:19,400 --> 00:06:21,400
Speaker 2: Other than that kind of stuff, what do you have

141
00:06:21,480 --> 00:06:23,480
Speaker 2: to do to to to kind of live up to

142
00:06:23,560 --> 00:06:25,159
Speaker 2: this the pressure that comes with the steal?

143
00:06:25,320 --> 00:06:28,760
Speaker 1: Other than I mean again, like I said, doing what

144
00:06:28,800 --> 00:06:30,359
Speaker 1: I do that got me here in the first place.

145
00:06:30,400 --> 00:06:34,240
Speaker 1: And you know, yes, OTAs for me, I can't speak

146
00:06:34,279 --> 00:06:37,520
Speaker 1: for everybody, but for me, it's to value that that

147
00:06:37,600 --> 00:06:41,000
Speaker 1: individual time that I have, that I can maximize my

148
00:06:41,160 --> 00:06:43,680
Speaker 1: value and come back with a purpose and come back

149
00:06:43,760 --> 00:06:47,240
Speaker 1: physically in shape and mentally in shape. That you know,

150
00:06:47,279 --> 00:06:49,360
Speaker 1: I could go and perform at a very high level.

151
00:06:49,520 --> 00:06:52,040
Speaker 1: And it worked for me, And so for me, why

152
00:06:52,160 --> 00:06:55,080
Speaker 1: not do what got me in there in the first place.

153
00:06:55,200 --> 00:06:58,080
Speaker 1: I know it probably Oh he's not voluntary, he's not here.

154
00:06:58,600 --> 00:07:01,400
Speaker 1: My teammates know I love him, you know what I'm saying, Like,

155
00:07:01,640 --> 00:07:03,320
Speaker 1: they know I'll do anything for him. They know him

156
00:07:03,360 --> 00:07:06,920
Speaker 1: one phone call away. You know, my s my sons,

157
00:07:07,240 --> 00:07:09,520

159
00:07:12,800 --> 00:07:15,920

00:08:09,200 --> 00:08:09,840
Speaker 1: He knows that.

180
00:08:10,200 --> 00:08:10,640
Speaker 2: And uh.

181
00:08:10,680 --> 00:08:15,440
Speaker 1: And then we got added Eric Armstead, who I'm in

Speaker 2: Can't wait to get to work with him.

185
00:08:21,080 --> 00:08:23,720
Speaker 1: Can't wait to ru rush against rush with him and

186
00:08:23,800 --> 00:08:25,080
Speaker 1: against him to.

187
00:08:25,040 --> 00:08:25,920
Speaker 2: Get to the quarterback.

188
00:08:26,080 --> 00:08:29,000
Speaker 1: And it's gonna push me to have that sense of urgency.

189
00:08:29,160 --> 00:08:30,920
Speaker 1: And uh, I'm excited for that.

190
00:08:31,240 --> 00:08:32,680
Speaker 2: How much do you know? Eric?

191
00:08:32,880 --> 00:08:34,720
Speaker 1: I think you guys have the same agent and just

192
00:08:34,840 --> 00:08:37,120
Speaker 1: you know what what will that dynamic be?

193
00:08:37,320 --> 00:08:40,960
Speaker 2: You know you Eric, Trayvon Roy, all these guys? How

194
00:08:41,080 --> 00:08:42,560
Speaker 2: much better are you? Guys? I want to deep it's

195
00:08:42,600 --> 00:08:42,679
Speaker 2: go on?

196
00:08:43,040 --> 00:08:45,200
Speaker 1: Uh, First and foremost, you got to see how you

197
00:08:45,240 --> 00:08:48,160
Speaker 1: know how the lineup's gonna be. Uh, I think that's

198
00:08:48,600 --> 00:08:49,400
Speaker 1: that's important.

199
00:08:49,800 --> 00:08:50,240
Speaker 2: Uh.

200
00:08:50,559 --> 00:08:53,479
Speaker 1: You know you brought him here to play a lot.

201
00:08:53,840 --> 00:08:56,160
Speaker 1: You just resigned me to play a lot. Trayvon just

202
00:08:56,200 --> 00:08:59,880
Speaker 1: come off for a ten SAX season. Who's only progressing? U?

203
00:09:00,160 --> 00:09:00,400
Speaker 2: You? Uh?

204
00:09:00,480 --> 00:09:02,720
Speaker 1: We have Roy, we have d Ham, we have Adam.

205
00:09:03,040 --> 00:09:06,120
Speaker 1: We just signed Jeremiah back. So you y you see

206
00:09:06,160 --> 00:09:08,520
Speaker 1: the tools and the pieces that we have. And so

207
00:09:08,559 --> 00:09:10,839
Speaker 1: it's just first of all, how we gonna rotate that,

208
00:09:11,080 --> 00:09:12,680
Speaker 1: you know, how we gonna do that?

209
00:09:12,800 --> 00:09:14,400
Speaker 2: What are we aksing everybody to do?

210
00:09:15,120 --> 00:09:18,800
Speaker 1: And then like going out then once we have that front, Oh,

211
00:09:18,880 --> 00:09:20,760
Speaker 1: this is this is where we're looking at.

212
00:09:22,000 --> 00:09:24,760
Speaker 2: And or I know coach Nielsen is a defensive line guy.

213
00:09:24,760 --> 00:09:28,040
Speaker 1: If you want your best player to rotate inside, you know,

214
00:09:28,280 --> 00:09:30,520
Speaker 1: I I I seown that I could play three tech

215
00:09:30,800 --> 00:09:33,360
Speaker 1: on a on a guard. That's you know, everybody's getting

216
00:09:33,400 --> 00:09:36,360
Speaker 1: that FOOTBA league. But you know what I mean, Trayvon

217
00:09:36,480 --> 00:09:39,200
Speaker 1: can go you know, Eric can go inside outside. Roy

218
00:09:39,240 --> 00:09:41,959
Speaker 1: had some outset stunt, so we can you know, rotate

219
00:09:42,040 --> 00:09:44,960
Speaker 1: and see where everybody best fits. I think that's important

220
00:09:45,160 --> 00:09:48,240
Speaker 1: and I think that's prior to number one. But then

221
00:09:48,280 --> 00:09:51,320
Speaker 1: also obviously rushing with the guys and knowing where everybody's

222
00:09:51,320 --> 00:09:56,679
Speaker 1: capable of it is very exciting and uh yeah, yeah,

223
00:09:56,960 --> 00:09:59,560
Speaker 1: you walk us through the last twenty four hours, When

224
00:09:59,559 --> 00:10:02,400
Speaker 1: did you been all that could always done? And emotional

225
00:10:02,480 --> 00:10:06,960
Speaker 1: emotions for me, you know, obviously, Wen I was, you know,

226
00:10:07,120 --> 00:10:11,520
Speaker 1: every part of in the negotiating stages of this, so

227
00:10:11,559 --> 00:10:13,360
Speaker 1: I was kind of up to date with everything and

228
00:10:13,440 --> 00:10:16,120
Speaker 1: knowing that we were getting closer and closer a little

229
00:10:16,200 --> 00:10:18,160
Speaker 1: n you know, Nick knacks that we wanted to get,

230
00:10:18,240 --> 00:10:22,360
Speaker 1: they wanted to get, so just negotiating that part. But

231
00:10:22,440 --> 00:10:27,400
Speaker 1: it it got it got real, you know when I

232
00:10:27,400 --> 00:10:29,920
Speaker 1: don't know when it just it got real when we

233
00:10:29,960 --> 00:10:33,800
Speaker 1: was like we're we're we're there. You know, we're happy

234
00:10:33,920 --> 00:10:36,960
Speaker 1: it we're s We're never satisfied, but we're very happy

235
00:10:37,480 --> 00:10:38,520
Speaker 1: with with what we.

00:10:38,520 --> 00:10:39,360
Speaker 2: Have in front of us.

237
00:10:39,400 --> 00:10:42,640
Speaker 1: And and you know, I went through a lot of emotions.

238
00:10:42,640 --> 00:10:44,560
Speaker 1: Like I said, I'm very emotional right now. I'm kind

239
00:10:44,600 --> 00:10:48,120
Speaker 1: of doing a good job and keeping my composure. I know,

240
00:10:48,160 --> 00:10:50,599
Speaker 1: once I start talking about my wife, I get it.

241
00:10:50,800 --> 00:10:53,760
Speaker 1: Just you don't like you don't know how much she's

242
00:10:53,800 --> 00:10:54,840
Speaker 1: helped me throughout my career.

243
00:10:55,040 --> 00:10:57,000
Speaker 2: I don't wanna. I can't get to that point right now.

244
00:10:58,679 --> 00:11:04,080
Speaker 1: But uh, it's very real, but very very like what

245
00:11:04,160 --> 00:11:06,359
Speaker 1: you said, how do you hold up to this expectations?

246
00:11:06,559 --> 00:11:08,600
Speaker 1: So for me, it's to get back in that lab,

247
00:11:09,280 --> 00:11:11,920
Speaker 1: you know, figure out what get back to doing what

Speaker 1: they gonna We got a big target on our back.

251
00:11:21,679 --> 00:11:24,160
Speaker 1: We I think we've always have. Especially now you look

252
00:11:24,200 --> 00:11:27,400
Speaker 1: at our division. You know it's a lot more competitive,

253
00:11:27,640 --> 00:11:30,120
Speaker 1: which I love, which brings a lot more national media

254
00:11:30,200 --> 00:11:33,240
Speaker 1: to our division. We have a when you look at

255
00:11:33,240 --> 00:11:37,640
Speaker 1: every team, every team has a primier quarterback. Now you

00:11:37,679 --> 00:11:39,760
Speaker 1: look at these now you look at the receiving corps.

257
00:11:39,760 --> 00:11:41,160
Speaker 1: You look at the offensive lines, you look at the

258
00:11:41,200 --> 00:11:44,120

264
00:11:58,280 --> 00:12:00,640

00:12:24,320 --> 00:12:24,839
Speaker 2: it's huge.

274
00:12:25,160 --> 00:12:28,720
Speaker 1: Uh we w this is our you know, we talked

275
00:12:29,200 --> 00:12:34,360
Speaker 1: a big about legacies and roots and not to my home,

276
00:12:34,480 --> 00:12:37,560
Speaker 1: but everywhere that I went, you know, I left I

277
00:12:37,640 --> 00:12:41,360
Speaker 1: left an impact, you know, and started back in high school,

278
00:12:42,280 --> 00:12:46,080
Speaker 1: you know, just living you know, starting off really slow

279
00:12:46,120 --> 00:12:49,520
Speaker 1: in high school and then you know, progressing to to

280
00:12:49,520 --> 00:12:51,880
Speaker 1: to being a two star recruit, you know, to feel

281
00:12:51,960 --> 00:12:53,480
Speaker 1: like I had a lot of doubters on my back.

282
00:12:54,640 --> 00:12:56,800
Speaker 1: And then going to my high school my senior year,

283
00:12:57,480 --> 00:13:00,400
Speaker 1: UH leading the state in sacks my first year playing defense,

284
00:13:00,480 --> 00:13:02,760
Speaker 1: knowing that I'm capable of playing at a very high level,

285
00:13:03,320 --> 00:13:06,480
Speaker 1: going into college as a two star recruit, like I said,

286
00:13:06,880 --> 00:13:10,720
Speaker 1: and then working building my way up to becoming you know,

287
00:13:12,040 --> 00:13:15,320
Speaker 1: the seventh pick in the over in the draft, being

288
00:13:15,679 --> 00:13:20,560
Speaker 1: winning every National Defensive Player Award, to always proving myself wrong,

289
00:13:20,640 --> 00:13:23,120
Speaker 1: and to now when I go back, it's it's home

290
00:13:23,160 --> 00:13:24,720
Speaker 1: when I get back, when I go back to Lexington,

291
00:13:24,800 --> 00:13:27,439
Speaker 1: so leaving that legacy there that will never be forgotten.

292
00:13:28,800 --> 00:13:30,360
Speaker 2: And then coming here to Jacksonville.

293
00:13:30,440 --> 00:13:32,800
Speaker 1: You know, twenty seventeen was a year they almost went

294
00:13:32,840 --> 00:13:33,480
Speaker 1: to the Super Bowl.

295
00:13:33,720 --> 00:13:34,760
Speaker 2: Almost doesn't count.

296
00:13:35,080 --> 00:13:38,600
Speaker 1: They had a great team Saxonville, great defense, you know, offense,

297
00:13:38,640 --> 00:13:42,040
Speaker 1: I was progressing. And then you move on to eighteen,

298
00:13:42,080 --> 00:13:45,080
Speaker 1: they didn't have success. I came into nineteen, you know,

299
00:13:45,760 --> 00:13:48,400
Speaker 1: we six and ten, told myself, we can't get worse

300
00:13:48,440 --> 00:13:52,240
Speaker 1: than this, you know, not understanding NFL and then winning

301
00:13:52,240 --> 00:13:53,960
Speaker 1: three games the next two years.

302
00:13:54,040 --> 00:13:56,280
Speaker 2: And then goes Peter.

303
00:13:57,200 --> 00:13:59,640
Speaker 1: We go to the playoffs and just I mean this

304
00:13:59,720 --> 00:14:01,960
Speaker 1: is really you know, like this is this is these

305
00:14:02,000 --> 00:14:04,680
Speaker 1: are raw emotions and I'm giving you guys, and I'm

306
00:14:05,080 --> 00:14:10,200
Speaker 1: honest that like leaving, like what.

307
00:14:09,760 --> 00:14:11,520
Speaker 2: What can I do to leave an impact?

308
00:14:11,840 --> 00:14:15,840
Speaker 1: And you know last year was was me figuring everything out.

309
00:14:15,920 --> 00:14:18,000
Speaker 1: I know everybody talks about, oh it was a contract year.

310
00:14:18,000 --> 00:14:21,760
Speaker 1: He was extra motivated. For me, it was figuring figuring

311
00:14:21,760 --> 00:14:25,480
Speaker 1: out life. You know, when you get thrown all this money,

312
00:14:25,560 --> 00:14:28,160
Speaker 1: you get thrown, not thrown a family, but you build

313
00:14:28,160 --> 00:14:30,640
Speaker 1: a family at a very young young age.

314
00:14:30,680 --> 00:14:32,320
Speaker 2: Nobody teach you, nobody.

315
00:14:32,080 --> 00:14:34,200
Speaker 1: Gives you a guidebook and say, hell and this is life,

316
00:14:34,560 --> 00:14:36,160
Speaker 1: this is this is what you want to do. This

317
00:14:36,200 --> 00:14:38,120
Speaker 1: is how you handle it. When the kids get old enough,

318
00:14:38,120 --> 00:14:39,880
Speaker 1: you gotta take them to this school. You gotta gotta

319
00:14:39,880 --> 00:14:41,920
Speaker 1: pay these bills, you gotta do tax you gotta so

320
00:14:42,160 --> 00:14:46,160
Speaker 1: it becomes a lot. And the faster you can manage

321
00:14:46,160 --> 00:14:49,400
Speaker 1: and handle these so so you can just focus on football,

322
00:14:50,080 --> 00:14:52,680
Speaker 1: and it is the better. And I feel like, you know,

323
00:14:52,760 --> 00:14:55,200
Speaker 1: my wife and I we have grown, you know, we

324
00:14:55,280 --> 00:14:58,840
Speaker 1: have grew so much throughout these years, and you know,

325
00:14:58,880 --> 00:15:01,040
Speaker 1: we think each other every day that we didn't stay

326
00:15:01,080 --> 00:15:04,520
Speaker 1: where we were whatever year in the past, because we

327
00:15:04,560 --> 00:15:06,560
Speaker 1: still need to grow today. But you know, this is

328
00:15:06,600 --> 00:15:08,560
Speaker 1: something that we need to build for not only for us,

329
00:15:08,560 --> 00:15:09,280
Speaker 1: before our kids.

330
00:15:09,640 --> 00:15:12,800
Speaker 2: So it's just very special to leave a legacy again.

331
00:15:12,880 --> 00:15:16,360
Speaker 2: Let me get back to that. So last year breaking

332
00:15:16,400 --> 00:15:17,440
Speaker 2: the single season sack.

333
00:15:17,400 --> 00:15:23,200
Speaker 1: Record wasn't because as a contract year. Thankfully it was

334
00:15:23,200 --> 00:15:26,400
Speaker 1: a contract year. But if it was two three years ago,

335
00:15:26,440 --> 00:15:28,200
Speaker 1: I would have done it, you know what I mean.

336
00:15:28,280 --> 00:15:32,000
Speaker 1: But it's just figuring everything out and putting the pieces together,

337
00:15:32,280 --> 00:15:34,880
Speaker 1: you know, building that confidence back up that I feel

338
00:15:34,880 --> 00:15:38,040
Speaker 1: like I lost because I didn't live up to expectations

339
00:15:38,040 --> 00:15:40,160
Speaker 1: that I know I could, you know. So it was

340
00:15:40,320 --> 00:15:43,040
Speaker 1: investing in here, investing to your body a little bit

341
00:15:43,080 --> 00:15:45,320
Speaker 1: more than what you usually do, and being okay with

342
00:15:45,400 --> 00:15:48,400
Speaker 1: the results that come with it. So for me, it's

343
00:15:48,480 --> 00:15:52,080
Speaker 1: too all right, that worked for me, you know, let

344
00:15:52,120 --> 00:15:55,080
Speaker 1: me do it again. And so, you know, I found

345
00:15:55,080 --> 00:15:56,600
Speaker 1: out what works for me. I found out my plan,

346
00:15:56,640 --> 00:16:00,640
Speaker 1: I found out my schedule, and you know again, I

347
00:16:00,680 --> 00:16:04,320
Speaker 1: thank God every morning, every night, uh, and before I

348
00:16:04,400 --> 00:16:08,000
Speaker 1: eat uh that I'm thankful and I am a humble

349
00:16:08,040 --> 00:16:10,760
Speaker 1: servant under him, and my kids would be, my wife

350
00:16:10,840 --> 00:16:14,000
Speaker 1: is and my whole family is and you know, I

351
00:16:14,040 --> 00:16:17,480
Speaker 1: can't think of anymore. I was supportive of Jaguars fans,

352
00:16:17,520 --> 00:16:19,000
Speaker 1: been through this whole process.

353
00:16:19,400 --> 00:16:24,600
Speaker 2: Oh man, I gotta say one the job man.

354
00:16:25,160 --> 00:16:27,520
Speaker 1: Uh you know it, it's kind of hard to stay

355
00:16:27,560 --> 00:16:31,320
Speaker 1: off of social media, but I try to do my best,

356
00:16:31,600 --> 00:16:34,000
Speaker 1: you know. And uh so I'm not gonna say I

357
00:16:34,000 --> 00:16:38,520
Speaker 1: didn't read a lot of comments or concerns about what

358
00:16:38,560 --> 00:16:39,160
Speaker 1: we were doing.

359
00:16:39,760 --> 00:16:41,920
Speaker 2: You know what I mean. It's definitely hard, you know,

360
00:16:42,680 --> 00:16:45,680
Speaker 2: negotiating it's ups and down. It's dang. They didn't feel

361
00:16:45,680 --> 00:16:47,600
Speaker 2: like there's, oh yeah, we're going there right there, like.

362
00:16:47,640 --> 00:16:50,440
Speaker 1: Dang, and it so it was a bit of emotional

363
00:16:50,520 --> 00:16:53,640
Speaker 1: roller coaster. And then seeing that the fans really wanted

364
00:16:53,680 --> 00:16:55,760
Speaker 1: me back. Uh, they knew what type of player I

365
00:16:55,880 --> 00:16:56,840
Speaker 1: was on and off the field.

366
00:16:56,840 --> 00:17:00,400
Speaker 2: Man. So just having that local support behind me, I

367
00:17:00,480 --> 00:17:03,440
Speaker 2: thing helped. So shout out to all the duvall.

368
00:17:03,520 --> 00:17:06,920
Speaker 1: They know I love them, and they know even when

369
00:17:07,240 --> 00:17:09,480
Speaker 1: even when I remember sitting in one of the games

370
00:17:09,520 --> 00:17:12,000
Speaker 1: and somebody say, Josh, you're gonna do something.

371
00:17:11,880 --> 00:17:14,400

Speaker 1: I mean, this is this is my legacy, this is

380
00:17:36,800 --> 00:17:38,760
Speaker 1: this is something that I built. It's something I work

381
00:17:38,920 --> 00:17:42,399
Speaker 1: every day for, something I'm honored to be a part of.

382
00:17:42,800 --> 00:17:44,879
Speaker 1: You know, I told myself when I got drafted here,

383
00:17:45,160 --> 00:17:47,960
Speaker 1: I had two instances. I told myself everywhere I told

384
00:17:47,960 --> 00:17:50,880
Speaker 1: myself of Kentucky, I wanted to coach stops. I want

385
00:17:50,880 --> 00:17:53,639
Speaker 1: to be the best player you ever coached. I remember

386
00:17:53,640 --> 00:17:55,760
Speaker 1: telling my rookie at two star recruit, didn't know what

387
00:17:55,800 --> 00:17:57,840
Speaker 1: a two point stands was, didn't know what a feeling

388
00:17:57,880 --> 00:18:02,399
Speaker 1: boundary was. But I knew what I wanted. And you know,

389
00:18:02,880 --> 00:18:05,160
Speaker 1: I can argue that that question, you know, with him,

390
00:18:05,320 --> 00:18:07,959
Speaker 1: I think I am, you know, but that's his opinion.

391
00:18:09,520 --> 00:18:11,280
Speaker 1: And then coming here getting drafted, I wanted to be

392
00:18:11,359 --> 00:18:13,879
Speaker 1: the best defensive player to ever come out of Jacksonville history.

393
00:18:14,520 --> 00:18:19,160
Speaker 1: And you know, my my, I got five more years

394
00:18:19,200 --> 00:18:22,960
Speaker 1: to keep stacking and stacking and stacking, and I'm excited

395
00:18:23,000 --> 00:18:23,399
Speaker 1: about that.

396
00:18:23,560 --> 00:18:24,399
Speaker 2: I'm excited for it.

397
00:18:24,440 --> 00:18:27,480
Speaker 1: And whoever tries to come get my record, it's gonna

398
00:18:27,480 --> 00:18:29,080
Speaker 1: be a very tall task and I'm gonna.

399
00:18:28,880 --> 00:18:31,000
Speaker 2: Make it very hard for them.

400
00:18:31,040 --> 00:18:36,760
Speaker 1: But I'm I'm I'm extremely blessed.

401
00:18:36,800 --> 00:18:37,160
Speaker 2: I'm tense.

402
00:18:37,320 --> 00:18:41,320
Speaker 1: I know I'm ten sacks away from leading franchise history

403
00:18:41,520 --> 00:18:45,440
Speaker 1: and total sacks, I think, and Toty Brackens, who who's

404
00:18:45,520 --> 00:18:48,879
