Really just getting game wanted 6 00:00:21,000 --> 00:00:25,040 Speaker 1: and you've been going to get the couple guys count 7 00:00:25,040 --> 00:00:27,440 Speaker 1: of comments. Were you just seeing I can't go against 8 00:00:28,120 --> 00:00:31,400 Speaker 1: definitely has. Of course I haven't played too many snaps, 9 00:00:31,440 --> 00:00:34,400 Speaker 1: but just from those beginning snaps that beginning early in 10 00:00:34,479 --> 00:00:36,560 Speaker 1: the game, I want to like, I really be thinking 11 00:00:36,600 --> 00:00:38,520 Speaker 1: to myself, like, oh, I can really go a whole 12 00:00:38,600 --> 00:00:41,600 Speaker 1: game planning against these guys. Coach Peterson said, he wants 13 00:00:41,600 --> 00:00:43,360 Speaker 1: you guys to maybe go a little bit into the 14 00:00:43,400 --> 00:00:45,879 Speaker 1: second quarters this week defense and play more. It's not 15 00:00:45,960 --> 00:00:47,560 Speaker 1: gord to you. You think, just you guys to get 16 00:00:47,560 --> 00:00:50,000 Speaker 1: those recks together for a week one. Definitely just get 17 00:00:50,040 --> 00:00:52,560 Speaker 1: to get the chemistry down, specially amongst the front seven 18 00:00:52,560 --> 00:00:54,680 Speaker 1: with some things that we do up front, and I 19 00:00:54,680 --> 00:00:56,920 Speaker 1: think that's gonna play a big part just with the 20 00:00:57,000 --> 00:01:01,360 Speaker 1: transition going into the regular season. You've been in training 21 00:01:01,440 --> 00:01:04,120 Speaker 1: camps for a while high school, college, How is this 22 00:01:04,160 --> 00:01:08,520 Speaker 1: one compare or is it a grind? Uh, you need 23 00:01:08,520 --> 00:01:11,120 Speaker 1: to mix it up a little bit. It's definitely still 24 00:01:11,120 --> 00:01:13,560 Speaker 1: a grind, but coming from the University of Georgia, they 25 00:01:13,600 --> 00:01:17,440 Speaker 1: definitely prepared before. Like here, you don't at the University 26 00:01:17,440 --> 00:01:19,640 Speaker 1: of Georgia with full pass every day. Here you might 27 00:01:19,680 --> 00:01:22,720 Speaker 1: get shelves here they're full past two days back to back. 28 00:01:23,200 --> 00:01:25,920 Speaker 1: Nothing too crazy, but it's definitely been a grind. Tho. 29 00:01:26,200 --> 00:01:28,720 Speaker 1: It's definitely a ground. What's next way next week can 30 00:01:28,800 --> 00:01:32,440 Speaker 1: be like for you going closer to home, Uh, next 31 00:01:32,480 --> 00:01:34,399 Speaker 1: week for me, it's very big. Like I'm from the 32 00:01:34,400 --> 00:01:36,960 Speaker 1: state of Georgia. I know a lot of my my hometown. 33 00:01:36,959 --> 00:01:39,240 Speaker 1: To bid the game, it's really gonna mean a lot 34 00:01:39,319 --> 00:01:41,920 Speaker 1: to me just for my hometown people, younger kids to 35 00:01:42,040 --> 00:01:43,680 Speaker 1: be able to come to the games. They're gotta blessed 36 00:01:43,680 --> 00:01:45,399 Speaker 1: together to bring him to the game just to see. 37 00:01:45,440 --> 00:01:47,120 Speaker 1: So you're gonna really mean a lot to be to 38 00:01:47,120 --> 00:01:49,400 Speaker 1: be able to put on the show and just show 39 00:01:49,480 --> 00:01:52,520 Speaker 1: them the right way anybody get to they're gonna come 40 00:01:52,520 --> 00:01:56,560 Speaker 1: to practicing down. I don't think so. No, Shu, you're 41 00:01:56,600 --> 00:02:00,280 Speaker 1: gonna organize that the bus stuff, I didn't. That's something 42 00:02:00,360 --> 00:02:02,360 Speaker 1: that my community does like I have a strong community 43 00:02:02,400 --> 00:02:05,080 Speaker 1: everybody or something like that. They all come together than 44 00:02:05,120 --> 00:02:06,600 Speaker 1: they'll do it for the kids, to do it for 45 00:02:06,600 --> 00:02:10,399 Speaker 1: that stuff as well. Now anybody thought it wasn't any 46 00:02:10,400 --> 00:02:12,560 Speaker 1: one of the US training team days, it's still not 47 00:02:12,560 --> 00:02:14,480 Speaker 1: gonna touch what It's gonna be like a one o'clock 48 00:02:14,480 --> 00:02:18,079 Speaker 1: in the afternoon in Georgia. Uh, definitely not one thing 49 00:02:18,120 --> 00:02:20,040 Speaker 1: I can't say about The heat down here is definitely 50 00:02:20,040 --> 00:02:22,680 Speaker 1: a lot more human. It's more dry, makes it harder 51 00:02:22,680 --> 00:02:25,360 Speaker 1: to breathe, catch your broth. But it's something that just 52 00:02:25,400 --> 00:02:28,919 Speaker 1: comes with the game. Do you what do you think 53 00:02:28,960 --> 00:02:32,480 Speaker 1: the value of Yeah, you have preseason games, but the 54 00:02:32,560 --> 00:02:34,880 Speaker 1: joint practice was another team. What do you think of 55 00:02:34,960 --> 00:02:38,280 Speaker 1: value that is gonna be touch with you? For me, 56 00:02:38,480 --> 00:02:41,079 Speaker 1: that just boosts up the competition a lot more and 57 00:02:41,520 --> 00:02:43,959 Speaker 1: then be able to go against It's basically like a game, 58 00:02:44,320 --> 00:02:46,320 Speaker 1: but in a practice setting, so I'll just be able 59 00:02:46,360 --> 00:02:48,320 Speaker 1: to take some things that I would do in the 60 00:02:48,360 --> 00:02:55,040 Speaker 1: game and working on another defensive. Growing up, I was 61 00:02:55,080 --> 00:02:57,680 Speaker 1: a Falcons fan, but I really was. I just went 62 00:02:57,720 --> 00:03:00,679 Speaker 1: for the facton because that's my hometown team. Everybody, you know, 63 00:03:01,639 --> 00:03:03,880 Speaker 1: we do not know if you're conditioned enough for the 64 00:03:04,040 --> 00:03:07,200 Speaker 1: right be on until you kind of play on September eleven, 65 00:03:07,280 --> 00:03:09,200 Speaker 1: the whole game. I mean, you can't mimic that right 66 00:03:09,360 --> 00:03:12,040 Speaker 1: most definitely, That's just something that comes with it, Like 67 00:03:12,120 --> 00:03:13,960 Speaker 1: practice is supposed to be harder than the game. So 68 00:03:14,000 --> 00:03:17,119 Speaker 1: I'm expecting to come into the game and pretty good shape. Though, 69 00:03:17,440 --> 00:03:19,799 Speaker 1: So I can't say, just continue to come out hand 70 00:03:19,880 --> 00:03:21,639 Speaker 1: grind and then it I'll pay off in the game 71 00:03:22,520 --> 00:03:25,679 Speaker 1: exactly one. You hope to cause a fun a week two. 72 00:03:25,720 --> 00:03:28,120 Speaker 1: In the present, you feel like you're on a pretty 73 00:03:28,120 --> 00:03:30,840 Speaker 1: good your directory where you want to be. Definitely, i 74 00:03:30,919 --> 00:03:32,480 Speaker 1: still have a lot of work to do and I'm 75 00:03:32,520 --> 00:03:38,560 Speaker 1: just want to continue to grow from here. Yet, Devin, 76 00:03:38,800 --> 00:03:42,240 Speaker 1: I'm definitely kind of see that whenever that does happen. 77 00:03:42,280 --> 00:03:44,400 Speaker 1: Oh yeah, I'm definitely ready to see Devin.

For him and college, he 82 00:03:52,440 --> 00:03:54,000 Speaker 1: was a great player, and I'm ready to see what 83 00:03:54,080 --> 00:03:56,480 Speaker 1: the things that he's learned since he's been out how 84 00:03:56,480 --> 00:04:00,720 Speaker 1: it transitions onto the field in the dry processing, and 85 00:04:00,720 --> 00:04:02,680 Speaker 1: you were a little anxious to have that one job. 86 00:04:03,000 --> 00:04:04,640 Speaker 1: Is it kind of her leaf now that you know 87 00:04:04,720 --> 00:04:06,800 Speaker 1: you have this one spot and now you just working 88 00:04:06,920 --> 00:04:09,160 Speaker 1: just getting really good at it. Definitely that was my 89 00:04:09,200 --> 00:04:10,960 Speaker 1: main goal coming in that all they wanted me to 90 00:04:11,040 --> 00:04:13,120 Speaker 1: do is just focus on this one position. Once I 91 00:04:13,160 --> 00:04:15,600 Speaker 1: get everything down, like the game, like the game of 92 00:04:15,640 --> 00:04:19,000 Speaker 1: football already have that, so everything just comes along with 93 00:04:19,200 --> 00:04:23,280 Speaker 1: knowing my one position. Has there been anything maybe you 94 00:04:23,400 --> 00:04:25,919 Speaker 1: struggle with. Everyone talks about the transition, how much faster 95 00:04:25,960 --> 00:04:27,800 Speaker 1: it is. Is there this one thing that you're like, Man, 96 00:04:27,839 --> 00:04:29,760 Speaker 1: this is really hard. I gotta work harder at it. 97 00:04:30,680 --> 00:04:32,440 Speaker 1: One thing for me, I had to say my path 98 00:04:32,640 --> 00:04:35,320 Speaker 1: just playing with good path level. Like I'm a tall guy, 99 00:04:35,800 --> 00:04:38,200 Speaker 1: and sometimes once I do like a move or something, 100 00:04:38,200 --> 00:04:40,440 Speaker 1: make an inside move or whatever, I'll be too high. 101 00:04:40,480 --> 00:04:43,760 Speaker 1: So I'm trying to get myself right with my path level. 102 00:04:44,680 --> 00:04:46,440 Speaker 1: Draw like a wee bit of time to talk to 103 00:04:46,560 --> 00:04:53,680 Speaker 1: much about what you said, Josh.
