WEBVTT - Javon Hargrave on 'Staying Humble' | Press Pass

0:00:00.960 --> 0:00:04.320
<v Speaker 1>Practice into it is your role here very different than

0:00:04.360 --> 0:00:06.440
<v Speaker 1>it is very similar.

0:00:08.240 --> 0:00:11.760
<v Speaker 2>Uh, it's a different, different type of defense that I

0:00:11.800 --> 0:00:12.680
<v Speaker 2>played in Philly.

0:00:14.120 --> 0:00:14.760
<v Speaker 3>I guess it ain't.

0:00:14.800 --> 0:00:17.079
<v Speaker 2>It's more of a four down front instead of switching

0:00:17.079 --> 0:00:20.320
<v Speaker 2>into a three four. And you know, I was kind

0:00:20.360 --> 0:00:22.079
<v Speaker 2>of playing the four I and I was playing I

0:00:22.120 --> 0:00:23.799
<v Speaker 2>was still playing the three in the two.

0:00:23.680 --> 0:00:25.640
<v Speaker 3>Was in Philly too, but I was doing a little

0:00:25.680 --> 0:00:26.079
<v Speaker 3>bit more.

0:00:28.120 --> 0:00:31.040
<v Speaker 1>Yvon, how are you a different pass rusher? Uh than

0:00:31.080 --> 0:00:32.720
<v Speaker 1>you were when you were in South Carolina State?

0:00:32.760 --> 0:00:34.480
<v Speaker 3>How is your your rush progressed?

0:00:35.680 --> 0:00:39.560
<v Speaker 2>I think just being in the league, you just pick

0:00:39.640 --> 0:00:42.560
<v Speaker 2>up on things from playing with a great some great

0:00:42.960 --> 0:00:45.000
<v Speaker 2>defensive lines and great defensive coaches.

0:00:45.120 --> 0:00:45.519
<v Speaker 3>Uh.

0:00:45.640 --> 0:00:47.959
<v Speaker 2>I just kind of take a little bit from everybody

0:00:48.000 --> 0:00:51.280
<v Speaker 2>and kind of just keep trying to progress and keep

0:00:51.280 --> 0:00:52.760
<v Speaker 2>getting better and improving my game.

0:00:54.120 --> 0:00:55.680
<v Speaker 1>Just in here and said he's never worked with a

0:00:55.680 --> 0:00:57.920
<v Speaker 1>group like this where if one person comes off the field,

0:00:57.960 --> 0:00:59.680
<v Speaker 1>the next one goes in and there's no drop off

0:00:59.720 --> 0:01:03.000
<v Speaker 1>at all. Do you feel that same me, that like

0:01:03.240 --> 0:01:05.160
<v Speaker 1>that same feeling towards your defense line?

0:01:05.280 --> 0:01:07.319
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I know we got a real talented defensive line,

0:01:08.440 --> 0:01:10.440
<v Speaker 2>but like you said, I don't play to again with

0:01:10.480 --> 0:01:13.520
<v Speaker 2>some some great defensive line. Now it's just we up

0:01:13.560 --> 0:01:15.760
<v Speaker 2>there with with all the people out done played with before.

0:01:15.920 --> 0:01:18.520
<v Speaker 2>So it's just, uh, it's just good to come in

0:01:18.560 --> 0:01:21.360
<v Speaker 2>and seeing so much talent around me and just trying

0:01:21.400 --> 0:01:22.760
<v Speaker 2>to bring what I bring to the table.

0:01:24.000 --> 0:01:26.600
<v Speaker 1>What was it like good landing up across from rock

0:01:26.600 --> 0:01:28.959
<v Speaker 1>Party not in the NFC Championship.

0:01:29.480 --> 0:01:30.320
<v Speaker 3>I mean it was cool.

0:01:30.520 --> 0:01:33.200
<v Speaker 2>Uh you know, It's just it's a different feel now,

0:01:33.360 --> 0:01:36.240
<v Speaker 2>uh with these being my teammates, so I can't really

0:01:36.319 --> 0:01:37.800
<v Speaker 2>hit him uh anymore.

0:01:37.920 --> 0:01:44.560
<v Speaker 3>So it's a little different nowadays. Does U there's.

0:01:44.400 --> 0:01:46.560
<v Speaker 1>Still some kind of back and forth and three nine

0:01:46.600 --> 0:01:49.920
<v Speaker 1>ers and beadles about if we're out our quarterbacks we

0:01:49.960 --> 0:01:51.720
<v Speaker 1>would have won and all that stuff.

0:01:51.840 --> 0:01:55.480
<v Speaker 3>Uh do you talk to you new teammates like about

0:01:55.840 --> 0:01:58.200
<v Speaker 3>that game at all? Or is that just a subject.

0:01:58.760 --> 0:02:01.160
<v Speaker 2>Straight away from Yeah, don't really talk about it cause

0:02:01.160 --> 0:02:03.600
<v Speaker 2>it's a little I'm over here now, so I can't

0:02:03.640 --> 0:02:06.680
<v Speaker 2>really talk about what happened last year, So I uh,

0:02:06.880 --> 0:02:08.480
<v Speaker 2>I don't even say nothing about that game.

0:02:09.639 --> 0:02:12.840
<v Speaker 1>Now that you got to to like for him for

0:02:12.840 --> 0:02:14.880
<v Speaker 1>a little while, what's been your observations to coach concern?

0:02:15.960 --> 0:02:16.080
<v Speaker 3>Uh?

0:02:16.160 --> 0:02:18.920
<v Speaker 2>He he's very passionate or what he do, and he

0:02:19.000 --> 0:02:21.959
<v Speaker 2>really just want the best out of everybody. So he's

0:02:21.960 --> 0:02:24.760
<v Speaker 2>just somebody who kind of motivates us before practice and

0:02:25.639 --> 0:02:28.720
<v Speaker 2>just try to bring everything he got and making us better.

0:02:30.080 --> 0:02:32.600
<v Speaker 1>You gotten to know Javon Kinlaw at all?

0:02:32.760 --> 0:02:35.080
<v Speaker 3>And and what do you think about his his game?

0:02:35.120 --> 0:02:37.560
<v Speaker 3>I know he's a different sort of player than you are,

0:02:37.680 --> 0:02:42.760
<v Speaker 3>but he's uh impressed that the coaches so far as Offeason.

0:02:42.520 --> 0:02:45.640
<v Speaker 2>I kind of im at Javon like a few years ago,

0:02:45.720 --> 0:02:48.120
<v Speaker 2>so I kind of I knew him a little bit

0:02:48.120 --> 0:02:51.160
<v Speaker 2>before I got here. But he's just easy, he wants

0:02:51.200 --> 0:02:54.520
<v Speaker 2>he's a he's a free and uh football standpoint, just

0:02:55.120 --> 0:02:58.320
<v Speaker 2>being strong and fast and you can just see he

0:02:58.320 --> 0:02:59.959
<v Speaker 2>he got a little hunger about him this year and

0:03:00.280 --> 0:03:02.960
<v Speaker 2>just uh just out there working and uh to improve

0:03:03.000 --> 0:03:06.000
<v Speaker 2>his game every day. Okay, why or how did you

0:03:06.040 --> 0:03:06.440
<v Speaker 2>meet him?

0:03:06.560 --> 0:03:08.959
<v Speaker 3>Uh? A couple of years now? Uh mutual friend. We

0:03:09.000 --> 0:03:11.240
<v Speaker 3>was like at the uh same little house. Uh.

0:03:11.280 --> 0:03:14.120
<v Speaker 2>He my best friend and he knew my best friend,

0:03:14.240 --> 0:03:16.239
<v Speaker 2>just just so happened to run into each other.

0:03:16.639 --> 0:03:22.440
<v Speaker 3>That COVID year describe is very humble. You go say

0:03:22.520 --> 0:03:26.160
<v Speaker 3>much and you meet your chest much. Wh Where does

0:03:26.200 --> 0:03:27.920
<v Speaker 3>that come from? I mean, is that an improvement you

0:03:27.919 --> 0:03:29.520
<v Speaker 3>guy in your life or is it just.

0:03:29.720 --> 0:03:31.400
<v Speaker 2>The road mutable did?

0:03:32.360 --> 0:03:34.560
<v Speaker 3>Uh? I think that's just the way I was raised. Uh.

0:03:34.840 --> 0:03:37.680
<v Speaker 2>I just I don't know. I don't I don't really

0:03:37.760 --> 0:03:40.120
<v Speaker 2>try to think too high myself. I just know I

0:03:40.160 --> 0:03:43.040
<v Speaker 2>can always get better and things I've been doing, so

0:03:43.200 --> 0:03:45.640
<v Speaker 2>I just I always took that approach to keep my

0:03:45.640 --> 0:03:48.040
<v Speaker 2>head down and keep working. And it's just how I

0:03:48.120 --> 0:03:49.000
<v Speaker 2>go about my days.

0:03:49.880 --> 0:03:52.880
<v Speaker 1>H that's the personality of the entiretyess line. Is that

0:03:53.200 --> 0:03:54.480
<v Speaker 1>part of the reason why you f feel like you

0:03:54.520 --> 0:03:55.360
<v Speaker 1>fitting so well here?

0:03:55.800 --> 0:03:57.840
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, it's just a bunch of hard working guys. Ain't

0:03:57.880 --> 0:04:02.200
<v Speaker 2>really uh too big a ego. Just everybody is one.

0:04:02.320 --> 0:04:04.880
<v Speaker 3>And that's kind of how to coach. Uh I coach

0:04:05.200 --> 0:04:07.320
<v Speaker 3>kind of talked to us. So it's kind of that

0:04:07.520 --> 0:04:11.360
<v Speaker 3>with everybody. I said, how you get a pass rush?

0:04:11.520 --> 0:04:14.480
<v Speaker 1>You know, you're not a classic pass rush look to

0:04:14.720 --> 0:04:17.039
<v Speaker 1>pad levels that just you just get lower. Is that

0:04:17.160 --> 0:04:19.040
<v Speaker 1>is that how you say you you you get.

0:04:18.880 --> 0:04:21.440
<v Speaker 3>Your pass rush? He? Uh, I got a little bit

0:04:21.480 --> 0:04:22.880
<v Speaker 3>of uh, a little bit of everything.

0:04:23.600 --> 0:04:26.360
<v Speaker 2>But uh, I think my leverage definitely helps me a lot,

0:04:27.520 --> 0:04:29.279
<v Speaker 2>just being able to get onto some of the bigger

0:04:29.320 --> 0:04:32.200
<v Speaker 2>guys and just use it to my advantage.

0:04:32.760 --> 0:04:33.840
<v Speaker 3>Think we're designed here.

0:04:33.880 --> 0:04:35.680
<v Speaker 2>You mentioned that just give you the opportunity to get

0:04:35.680 --> 0:04:37.600
<v Speaker 2>the contract, but also go to a place that wins,

0:04:37.600 --> 0:04:38.600
<v Speaker 2>which was the unusual.

0:04:39.000 --> 0:04:41.080
<v Speaker 3>They've been really close, haven't been able to get over

0:04:41.120 --> 0:04:42.520
<v Speaker 3>the hump three in the last four years.

0:04:42.560 --> 0:04:44.719
<v Speaker 1>How much do you just kind of feel being here,

0:04:44.800 --> 0:04:47.119
<v Speaker 1>the sense of urgency to get over the hump?

0:04:47.160 --> 0:04:50.280
<v Speaker 2>And I think that's what uh everybody really talk about

0:04:50.279 --> 0:04:52.479
<v Speaker 2>around here, is uh trying to get to the big

0:04:52.520 --> 0:04:56.520
<v Speaker 2>game and win it. So I just come in just

0:04:57.120 --> 0:04:59.880
<v Speaker 2>being there last year and losing that. I just want

0:04:59.880 --> 0:05:03.120
<v Speaker 2>to same thing that they wanted. Just come out here

0:05:03.160 --> 0:05:04.560
<v Speaker 2>every day with that same approach.

0:05:08.000 --> 0:05:13.040
<v Speaker 3>Anything else with gay on good thing, mm hmm
