1 00:00:00,560 --> 00:00:03,080 Speaker 1: You gotta have one side dish that has to be 2 00:00:03,120 --> 00:00:06,520 Speaker 1: on the table. It would be your choice, Mac and cheese. 3 00:00:09,920 --> 00:00:13,159 Speaker 1: Matt jud not a mac and cheese game. Aware of this. 4 00:00:13,520 --> 00:00:15,360 Speaker 1: I am aware of you are not aware of it 5 00:00:15,360 --> 00:00:18,520 Speaker 1: after today? Yeah, that's his opinion. You know, I like 6 00:00:18,600 --> 00:00:21,799 Speaker 1: the mac and cheese. Is that's going to break up? 7 00:00:23,560 --> 00:00:25,320 Speaker 1: I don't think it's gonna be that big of an issue. 8 00:00:25,680 --> 00:00:29,920 Speaker 1: I think it'd be a seems like the last few 9 00:00:29,920 --> 00:00:32,839 Speaker 1: weeks at least, maybe too the I of someone in 10 00:00:32,880 --> 00:00:37,080 Speaker 1: the media that you're playing quite fast. Maybe are you 11 00:00:37,200 --> 00:00:40,440 Speaker 1: seeing that yourself or you're feeling that yourself with your 12 00:00:40,479 --> 00:00:44,360 Speaker 1: own play. I definitely feel more comfortable and more confident 13 00:00:44,720 --> 00:00:46,760 Speaker 1: in the things the decisions I make on the field. 14 00:00:46,920 --> 00:00:49,760 Speaker 1: I think over time, as I continue to try to 15 00:00:49,800 --> 00:00:52,840 Speaker 1: focus in and make sure I'm doing things the right way, 16 00:00:52,920 --> 00:00:55,080 Speaker 1: I'm gonna think that all team to increase. So I 17 00:00:55,120 --> 00:00:58,000 Speaker 1: definitely ain't feeling a little bit. What do you think 18 00:00:58,920 --> 00:01:04,120 Speaker 1: has contributed to that getting to that feeling? You know, Um, 19 00:01:04,200 --> 00:01:07,360 Speaker 1: just continue to lock in and listen to everything that 20 00:01:07,480 --> 00:01:10,560 Speaker 1: the cultures are telling me. Um, there's always things to 21 00:01:10,600 --> 00:01:12,760 Speaker 1: get better at it, and being able to receive that 22 00:01:12,800 --> 00:01:15,640 Speaker 1: and make sure I'm focusing it and making it as 23 00:01:15,680 --> 00:01:18,920 Speaker 1: important as everything else you know has been, I think 24 00:01:19,000 --> 00:01:23,840 Speaker 1: the biggest thing for me, So probably better you. Your 25 00:01:23,880 --> 00:01:28,479 Speaker 1: teammates says that they can't believe that you were at 26 00:01:28,520 --> 00:01:31,760 Speaker 1: one point in time as the reason too athlete. Have 27 00:01:31,880 --> 00:01:34,800 Speaker 1: you had to explain now on multiple occasions how it 28 00:01:35,000 --> 00:01:39,600 Speaker 1: was you came to the lenor Ryan that whole back 29 00:01:39,640 --> 00:01:43,800 Speaker 1: story or to just kind of pressure. I mean they 30 00:01:43,800 --> 00:01:47,600 Speaker 1: don't really care. I just like, I don't think that 31 00:01:47,760 --> 00:01:50,440 Speaker 1: really mind too much. I've had explained it a couple 32 00:01:50,440 --> 00:01:53,600 Speaker 1: of times, but um, they know I don't really want 33 00:01:53,600 --> 00:01:55,320 Speaker 1: to talk like you know, I want to go into 34 00:01:55,480 --> 00:01:57,640 Speaker 1: great details, so they don't really ask me too much. 35 00:01:57,720 --> 00:02:02,160 Speaker 1: Just like whatever, they can't believe it, But that's really it. 36 00:02:02,200 --> 00:02:05,760 Speaker 1: So kyl and Man coverage. Where do you feel like 37 00:02:05,840 --> 00:02:11,760 Speaker 1: your biggest gross in that? Um? Just the patience. I 38 00:02:11,800 --> 00:02:16,680 Speaker 1: feel like, um, you know, not not being too aggressive 39 00:02:16,720 --> 00:02:21,320 Speaker 1: and know how to use the tools that I have physicality, um, 40 00:02:21,360 --> 00:02:23,320 Speaker 1: at the line of scriments. So really just patience and 41 00:02:23,400 --> 00:02:26,480 Speaker 1: kind of seeing things using my leverage things like that, 42 00:02:26,560 --> 00:02:29,640 Speaker 1: trusting my help and things like that. It's been big 43 00:02:29,680 --> 00:02:33,080 Speaker 1: for me. Rodney Harrison made a comment about wanting to 44 00:02:33,120 --> 00:02:36,520 Speaker 1: work with you in the offseason, work against coverage things 45 00:02:36,840 --> 00:02:39,840 Speaker 1: you ever you talk cross paths with him, talk to him. 46 00:02:39,919 --> 00:02:42,040 Speaker 1: Is that something you'd be open to? Oh for sure. Yeah, 47 00:02:42,040 --> 00:02:44,440 Speaker 1: I've talked to and I've been blessed enough to be 48 00:02:44,560 --> 00:02:47,760 Speaker 1: to be in contact with him and get advice from him, 49 00:02:47,760 --> 00:02:50,280 Speaker 1: And that's definitely something I'm going to continue to try 50 00:02:50,280 --> 00:02:53,440 Speaker 1: to do moving forward. What some of that advice wanted? 51 00:02:53,440 --> 00:02:56,120 Speaker 1: What are some of the things, Um, just play by 52 00:02:56,160 --> 00:02:59,959 Speaker 1: play usually it goes but you know, seeing seeing trust 53 00:03:00,120 --> 00:03:03,200 Speaker 1: what I'm seeing has been one of the biggest things. Um. 54 00:03:03,440 --> 00:03:06,800 Speaker 1: Whatever the first instincts that I see, Um, just trusting 55 00:03:06,840 --> 00:03:10,720 Speaker 1: those allowing me to will help me all allow me 56 00:03:10,720 --> 00:03:14,440 Speaker 1: to play faster and continue to just see things out 57 00:03:14,480 --> 00:03:18,239 Speaker 1: and see the dig picture and kind of that kind 58 00:03:18,240 --> 00:03:20,520 Speaker 1: of stuff. More so, does that lead to we saw 59 00:03:20,520 --> 00:03:21,880 Speaker 1: a couple of players in the last game, you know, 60 00:03:22,000 --> 00:03:25,840 Speaker 1: think hit big tackle and the open field is trusting 61 00:03:25,840 --> 00:03:28,720 Speaker 1: those instincts allow you to make those plays for sure? 62 00:03:28,840 --> 00:03:32,280 Speaker 1: Just um, knowing my job in a defensive car that 63 00:03:32,360 --> 00:03:35,240 Speaker 1: play and then knowing that I have helped behind me 64 00:03:35,320 --> 00:03:37,960 Speaker 1: and I can do certain things like come out of 65 00:03:38,000 --> 00:03:41,200 Speaker 1: coverage faster in tack the flats. So yeah, just trusting 66 00:03:41,320 --> 00:03:45,760 Speaker 1: trusting those instincts. Have you watched a lot of you 67 00:03:45,840 --> 00:03:48,000 Speaker 1: come across that tape in here in martch On, Yeah, 68 00:03:48,040 --> 00:03:50,520 Speaker 1: I definitely have. They They've thount it at me Flinny, 69 00:03:50,560 --> 00:03:53,240 Speaker 1: and I've been super anxious to watch it. So you've 70 00:03:53,280 --> 00:03:55,760 Speaker 1: seen a little bit he reveled in the idea of 71 00:03:55,800 --> 00:03:58,920 Speaker 1: being an intimidator. You know, I know the rules have 72 00:03:59,000 --> 00:04:01,240 Speaker 1: changed since he was last in the league. It's a 73 00:04:01,240 --> 00:04:03,080 Speaker 1: little bit harder to play defense, it's a little bit 74 00:04:03,120 --> 00:04:05,440 Speaker 1: harder to sort of take those big shots of people. 75 00:04:05,480 --> 00:04:08,040 Speaker 1: But do you sort of relish that role and that 76 00:04:08,160 --> 00:04:12,839 Speaker 1: idea for sure? For sure? I definitely, Um. I don't 77 00:04:12,840 --> 00:04:16,120 Speaker 1: want to say being an intimated is to go, but 78 00:04:16,320 --> 00:04:21,360 Speaker 1: just playing physical um and having aggressive aggression UM as 79 00:04:21,440 --> 00:04:24,800 Speaker 1: much as possible as definitely something I you know, have 80 00:04:24,920 --> 00:04:30,040 Speaker 1: a lot of belief in that. You know, credit with 81 00:04:30,120 --> 00:04:32,040 Speaker 1: them wrong. But is that relatively new to you, Kyle? 82 00:04:32,400 --> 00:04:34,960 Speaker 1: From what I remember when you were in college, you 83 00:04:35,000 --> 00:04:37,200 Speaker 1: were playing a lot of free safety, right and now 84 00:04:37,600 --> 00:04:40,520 Speaker 1: you know you've been in the box quite a bit, um, 85 00:04:40,600 --> 00:04:43,520 Speaker 1: So is this a new part of your game, like 86 00:04:43,600 --> 00:04:46,799 Speaker 1: even to you that that you're playing like a linebacker 87 00:04:46,839 --> 00:04:50,560 Speaker 1: at times. Um, I don't think it is as far 88 00:04:50,640 --> 00:04:55,320 Speaker 1: as uh, just playing physical. Even when I was playing 89 00:04:55,360 --> 00:04:58,440 Speaker 1: free um in college it was quarters, so I wasn't 90 00:04:58,520 --> 00:05:02,320 Speaker 1: that passive. But UM, I think it's something that's always 91 00:05:02,320 --> 00:05:04,919 Speaker 1: been there and just the road that they have me 92 00:05:05,000 --> 00:05:07,800 Speaker 1: and allowed me to maybe showcase that a little more. 93 00:05:10,279 --> 00:05:12,560 Speaker 1: We heard content here the other day talking about how 94 00:05:13,360 --> 00:05:15,719 Speaker 1: you've been pretty good at using a flipper almost like 95 00:05:15,720 --> 00:05:20,560 Speaker 1: a linebacker. Yeah, have you been taking any cues or 96 00:05:20,600 --> 00:05:22,280 Speaker 1: any tips from those guys in terms of how to 97 00:05:22,320 --> 00:05:24,160 Speaker 1: take on walks? We were taking on some of those 98 00:05:24,160 --> 00:05:28,480 Speaker 1: line oh for sure. For sure, Like because Mayo, I mean, 99 00:05:29,000 --> 00:05:32,159 Speaker 1: I never stop hearing you know what to do in 100 00:05:32,200 --> 00:05:34,920 Speaker 1: the box whenever we watched a family going through things. 101 00:05:34,920 --> 00:05:38,680 Speaker 1: But I'm never I've never stopped being coached up on 102 00:05:38,839 --> 00:05:41,520 Speaker 1: that kind of stuff, especially because it's so important to 103 00:05:41,600 --> 00:05:43,840 Speaker 1: helping out the rest of the defense that I you know, 104 00:05:44,200 --> 00:05:46,159 Speaker 1: take on the guard the right way and kind of 105 00:05:46,200 --> 00:05:49,799 Speaker 1: take the pressure off the defensive line. So it definitely 106 00:05:49,800 --> 00:05:51,520 Speaker 1: coached me up on that all the time. Once I 107 00:05:51,680 --> 00:05:56,120 Speaker 1: like for somebody to use probably a hundred pounds lighter 108 00:05:56,160 --> 00:05:58,440 Speaker 1: than some of those guys that you're that you're taking on. 109 00:05:58,560 --> 00:06:01,919 Speaker 1: I mean too, I think most of us in this 110 00:06:02,040 --> 00:06:04,080 Speaker 1: room that wouldn't be a fun thing to do. But 111 00:06:04,240 --> 00:06:11,280 Speaker 1: how is that for? Uh, it's not bad, I mean 112 00:06:12,720 --> 00:06:15,080 Speaker 1: it's necessary. I put it like that, like I don't 113 00:06:15,080 --> 00:06:18,440 Speaker 1: really think about it, like you know, I'm at a disadvantage. 114 00:06:18,440 --> 00:06:20,600 Speaker 1: I think about it more like if I don't do 115 00:06:20,640 --> 00:06:22,680 Speaker 1: this the right way, if I don't take the you know, 116 00:06:22,760 --> 00:06:26,760 Speaker 1: the offensive lineman off aw far down defensive lineman, then 117 00:06:27,160 --> 00:06:30,160 Speaker 1: I'm making his job harder. So I don't really think about, 118 00:06:30,200 --> 00:06:32,800 Speaker 1: you know, the consequences, and I just kind of make 119 00:06:32,839 --> 00:06:34,240 Speaker 1: sure I'm trying to I'm just trying to do my 120 00:06:34,320 --> 00:06:36,599 Speaker 1: job for the rest of the guys so that you know, 121 00:06:36,600 --> 00:06:41,400 Speaker 1: I'm not a liability or making our defense haven't half 122 00:06:41,400 --> 00:06:43,839 Speaker 1: trouble in that area. Yeah. How do you feel like 123 00:06:43,880 --> 00:06:46,440 Speaker 1: some of the zone coverages that you guys have called 124 00:06:46,480 --> 00:06:48,440 Speaker 1: more in racing weeks and a lot of jus kind 125 00:06:48,480 --> 00:06:50,080 Speaker 1: of see the ball in and applying to it a 126 00:06:50,080 --> 00:06:53,839 Speaker 1: little bit more. Oh yeah, definitely, I think you know, 127 00:06:53,880 --> 00:06:56,599 Speaker 1: when we're in zone, that's one of the biggest parties 128 00:06:56,640 --> 00:06:59,680 Speaker 1: we get coached on it. Seeing the quarterback seeing the throw, 129 00:07:00,080 --> 00:07:01,680 Speaker 1: so I definitely think that, you know, it has a 130 00:07:01,720 --> 00:07:05,080 Speaker 1: lot to do with it. Christian Um barmarkers just telling 131 00:07:05,160 --> 00:07:08,040 Speaker 1: us he gets to chat with Bill about every day. 132 00:07:08,360 --> 00:07:12,120 Speaker 1: Do you have chats with Bill every day most days? 133 00:07:12,160 --> 00:07:15,200 Speaker 1: I mean, I wouldn't say every day, Uh, definitely. He 134 00:07:15,320 --> 00:07:18,240 Speaker 1: definitely talks to me a lot and corrects me and 135 00:07:18,240 --> 00:07:21,280 Speaker 1: make sure I'm doing things right, coaching me up a lot. 136 00:07:21,360 --> 00:07:26,960 Speaker 1: So but I wouldn't say every day a lot. Down Yeah, 137 00:07:27,000 --> 00:07:29,480 Speaker 1: I mean we talked about stuff out the field time time, 138 00:07:29,560 --> 00:07:34,560 Speaker 1: but yeah, mostly football and you can share. I don't know, 139 00:07:34,680 --> 00:07:37,720 Speaker 1: so I'm just gonna say now, just keep it to 140 00:07:37,800 --> 00:07:45,320 Speaker 1: myself and us. Thank you, thank you. Let me thank you.
