47
00:02:28,200 --> 00:02:31,919

48
00:02:32,360 --> 00:02:34,919

51
00:02:41,800 --> 00:02:46,520

Speaker 1: can't even I don't even know what to really say. Man.

55
00:02:58,680 --> 00:03:01,360
Speaker 1: I feel like when we played in London, we blank

56
00:03:01,520 --> 00:03:03,680
Speaker 1: with three games in. You know what I mean, we

57
00:03:03,720 --> 00:03:06,200
Speaker 1: have to buy a weekend boom is right here and

58
00:03:06,240 --> 00:03:09,640
Speaker 1: then sooner or later, Uh, the last game gonna be

59
00:03:10,760 --> 00:03:12,440
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying, You're gonna look any black damn.

60
00:03:12,960 --> 00:03:17,720
Speaker 1: So Uh, this season definitely been going along and uh,

61
00:03:17,919 --> 00:03:21,560
Speaker 1: three years flew by to food by give you an

62
00:03:21,600 --> 00:03:25,679
Speaker 1: assessment on you. You're always under such a spotlight. H

63
00:03:26,480 --> 00:03:28,400
Speaker 1: I'm not sure what the numbers are, but it certainly

64
00:03:28,440 --> 00:03:32,600
Speaker 1: seems in the last couple of games. Uh, like you've

65
00:03:32,639 --> 00:03:35,160
Speaker 1: been coming on making more place. Do you feel like

66
00:03:35,200 --> 00:03:39,280
Speaker 1: you're improving, getting better opportunities or where are you at

67
00:03:39,360 --> 00:03:40,760
Speaker 1: right now in terms of where you want to be?

68
00:03:40,960 --> 00:03:43,520
Speaker 1: I felt like I'm still on that growing phase. Man.

69
00:03:43,600 --> 00:03:45,680
Speaker 1: I feel like I'm still you know, I feel like

70
00:03:45,720 --> 00:03:48,480
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna say I'm completely there. Uh, but I

71
00:03:48,920 --> 00:03:51,960
Speaker 1: am taking that next step forward in my game and

72
00:03:52,040 --> 00:03:54,160
Speaker 1: where I need to be. And as long as I

73
00:03:54,280 --> 00:03:57,320
Speaker 1: maintain and and and put you know, put the faith

74
00:03:57,320 --> 00:03:59,760
Speaker 1: in myself and put the faith in my teammates. Uh.

75
00:03:59,760 --> 00:04:03,120
Speaker 1: For like, man, the sky's delimits and uh So, I

76
00:04:03,120 --> 00:04:05,160
Speaker 1: feel like I'm at a good pace. And you know,

77
00:04:05,200 --> 00:04:07,080
Speaker 1: try to get better every day, you know what I'm saying,

78
00:04:07,120 --> 00:04:09,560
Speaker 1: Take one day at a time and make new mistakes.

79
00:04:09,600 --> 00:04:11,560
Speaker 1: Don't make the same mistakes of me yesterday. You know

80
00:04:11,600 --> 00:04:14,000
Speaker 1: what I'm saying. Do do something better than I didn't

81
00:04:14,000 --> 00:04:16,840
Speaker 1: do yesterday. Doing now, that's my mind set going to

82
00:04:16,960 --> 00:04:20,240
Speaker 1: every day, man. And I enjoyed being out here. I enjoyed,

83
00:04:20,440 --> 00:04:23,640
Speaker 1: I enjoyed stripping up, I enjoyed taking the field every play.

84
00:04:23,960 --> 00:04:25,520
Speaker 1: And I don't take no to those place for granted

85
00:04:25,520 --> 00:04:27,560
Speaker 1: because you never know what's gonna be last. And that's

86
00:04:27,600 --> 00:04:30,280
Speaker 1: my mindset, and you know, I just still want to

87
00:04:30,320 --> 00:04:32,320
Speaker 1: be the best, and that's how I'm gonna play. That's

88
00:04:32,320 --> 00:04:34,479
Speaker 1: how I'm for ever gonna play. Is that something? And

89
00:04:34,560 --> 00:04:36,880
Speaker 1: if you learned, but they kind of hit home last year.

90
00:04:37,240 --> 00:04:39,320
Speaker 1: You know, I'm not sure what your injury history was

91
00:04:39,360 --> 00:04:42,119
Speaker 1: in the past, but I know missing time can affect guys.

92
00:04:43,000 --> 00:04:44,760
Speaker 1: When you were out, were you thinking, hey, you know,

93
00:04:45,720 --> 00:04:47,400
Speaker 1: I need to take advantage of every snap because you

94
00:04:47,440 --> 00:04:50,520
Speaker 1: never know? Mm hmmm. And the last year was the

95
00:04:50,520 --> 00:04:53,159
Speaker 1: first time that I've ever dealt with the injury of

96
00:04:53,200 --> 00:04:58,440
Speaker 1: missing games, uh multiple games, So uh for me mentally,

97
00:04:58,920 --> 00:05:02,160
Speaker 1: that was was already you know what I'm saying, hitting

98
00:05:02,200 --> 00:05:05,120
Speaker 1: home and then you know, losing, you know, and the

99
00:05:05,160 --> 00:05:09,000
Speaker 1: way we did and that also at home and watching

100
00:05:09,000 --> 00:05:12,279
Speaker 1: those games on the tv. Uh, just not be able

101
00:05:12,320 --> 00:05:14,240
Speaker 1: to help my teammates out, you know what I'm saying.

102
00:05:14,279 --> 00:05:16,840
Speaker 1: So like it really hit and it really you know

103
00:05:16,880 --> 00:05:18,440
Speaker 1: what I'm saying, put me in the spot to where

104
00:05:18,440 --> 00:05:21,279
Speaker 1: it's like, okay, they say, never gonna happen again, And

105
00:05:21,480 --> 00:05:23,440
Speaker 1: you know, I'm saying, I'm gonna do is everything I can.

106
00:05:23,600 --> 00:05:25,520
Speaker 1: I'm gonna bust my butt, just try to stay healthy

107
00:05:26,040 --> 00:05:27,960
Speaker 1: to uh, you know, to stay on the field as

108
00:05:28,000 --> 00:05:31,280
Speaker 1: much as I can to help this team. And you know,

109
00:05:31,560 --> 00:05:33,320
Speaker 1: so far right now we're week I don't even know

110
00:05:33,360 --> 00:05:36,120
Speaker 1: we're week with, but we're we were pretty deep in it.

111
00:05:36,240 --> 00:05:39,400
Speaker 1: And I feel great, and I feel better than you

112
00:05:39,440 --> 00:05:41,600
Speaker 1: know what I'm saying that I've ever been. So I

113
00:05:41,720 --> 00:05:45,360
Speaker 1: got to maintain the course and keep going. I've always

114
00:05:45,400 --> 00:05:48,800
Speaker 1: thought that pass rusher is one of the cruelest positions

115
00:05:48,839 --> 00:05:52,039
Speaker 1: because you can do your job, you have a great game,

116
00:05:52,320 --> 00:05:55,279
Speaker 1: and if you don't get a sack, all the fans

117
00:05:55,279 --> 00:05:58,080
Speaker 1: are saying, what's wrong with Josh Outen so um. I

118
00:05:58,200 --> 00:06:00,359
Speaker 1: recovered Dwight Freeney for years. You know, these say some

119
00:06:00,400 --> 00:06:03,640
Speaker 1: of his best games came when he didn't have a sack,

120
00:06:04,279 --> 00:06:06,039
Speaker 1: and some of his worst games might come when he

121
00:06:06,080 --> 00:06:07,479
Speaker 1: had two sacks at the end. They were sort of

122
00:06:07,480 --> 00:06:11,360
Speaker 1: given to him. I do you relate to that at all?

123
00:06:12,040 --> 00:06:14,479
Speaker 1: And I guess the question is, I assume you don't

124
00:06:14,520 --> 00:06:16,839
Speaker 1: judge yourself based on sacks. You judge yourself based on

125
00:06:16,880 --> 00:06:19,840
Speaker 1: other things. Man. That's a great observation. You know, a

126
00:06:19,880 --> 00:06:23,360
Speaker 1: great point you just said, man, because it's true, you

127
00:06:23,360 --> 00:06:25,440
Speaker 1: know what I mean. Like, I feel like my best

128
00:06:25,480 --> 00:06:29,080
Speaker 1: game so far in my career on the edge was

129
00:06:29,160 --> 00:06:30,880
Speaker 1: the Miami game and I didn't get a sack, you

130
00:06:30,920 --> 00:06:33,280
Speaker 1: know what I'm saying. But it's just the fact that

131
00:06:33,440 --> 00:06:35,360
Speaker 1: as a pass rusher, you know what I'm saying, you

132
00:06:35,360 --> 00:06:38,760
Speaker 1: want to win every rep, you know, So I go

133
00:06:38,800 --> 00:06:40,440
Speaker 1: out there and try to win every rep. And that's

134
00:06:40,440 --> 00:06:42,120
Speaker 1: a game that I feel like I want every rep,

135
00:06:42,440 --> 00:06:44,320
Speaker 1: but I didn't get home, you know what I mean.

136
00:06:44,720 --> 00:06:46,799
Speaker 1: And then I come back and you know, I'm battling

137
00:06:46,800 --> 00:06:49,280
Speaker 1: and battling and that Papa sack here or Poppa sack there.

138
00:06:49,279 --> 00:06:51,960
Speaker 1: And then that's when it's like, Okay, they see the numbers,

139
00:06:51,960 --> 00:06:53,960
Speaker 1: but they don't really see until you put that film,

140
00:06:53,960 --> 00:06:55,800
Speaker 1: when you can click, go back and forth, back and forth,

141
00:06:55,920 --> 00:06:59,120
Speaker 1: unless you study the game. Uh, the impact you can

142
00:06:59,160 --> 00:07:01,360
Speaker 1: put on the team, uh, because you never know. But

143
00:07:01,560 --> 00:07:03,919
Speaker 1: the pressure is the pressure. He's getting up all all quick,

144
00:07:04,200 --> 00:07:06,400
Speaker 1: you know what I mean, just the president just him

145
00:07:06,440 --> 00:07:09,279
Speaker 1: feeling your presence is getting out quicker for you know,

146
00:07:09,440 --> 00:07:11,280
Speaker 1: for the gods to put their hands as you get

147
00:07:11,360 --> 00:07:15,000
Speaker 1: passes deflected. So, uh, it's really a role thing as

148
00:07:15,000 --> 00:07:17,240
Speaker 1: a pass rusher. But I love every bit of it

149
00:07:17,440 --> 00:07:19,000
Speaker 1: and my mind set us to go out there and

150
00:07:19,000 --> 00:07:21,880
Speaker 1: win every one and one and affect this game not

151
00:07:22,000 --> 00:07:25,120
Speaker 1: only you know, visibly, but behind the scenes as well.

152
00:07:25,200 --> 00:07:28,840
Speaker 1: So do whatever it takes. Now, not every pass rusher,

153
00:07:28,880 --> 00:07:31,120
Speaker 1: every player that I've covered has been like this, but

154
00:07:31,760 --> 00:07:35,760
Speaker 1: it really strikes me that's sincerely you are more about

155
00:07:35,800 --> 00:07:38,080
Speaker 1: the team than getting sacks. And I don't know how

156
00:07:38,200 --> 00:07:41,440
Speaker 1: you uh, how you quantify that, but I've seen you

157
00:07:41,480 --> 00:07:46,560
Speaker 1: around You care about this thing you're talking to teammates. Um,

158
00:07:46,600 --> 00:07:49,800
Speaker 1: where did that come from? Why you like that? Uh?

159
00:07:50,320 --> 00:07:54,240
Speaker 1: Because I think that's real. Yeah, I mean I care

160
00:07:54,240 --> 00:07:57,640
Speaker 1: about my sex. You know too, But it's the first thing,

161
00:07:57,720 --> 00:08:00,320
Speaker 1: you know what I mean, Like, I'm a big forso

162
00:08:00,400 --> 00:08:03,240
Speaker 1: feed I have a big philosophy. I don't know. I

163
00:08:03,280 --> 00:08:06,880
Speaker 1: think that's how you use it of you know, if

164
00:08:06,920 --> 00:08:09,440
Speaker 1: you're a great your team, if you're like, if you're good,

165
00:08:09,800 --> 00:08:11,640
Speaker 1: your team's great, you know what I'm saying. And if

166
00:08:11,680 --> 00:08:14,200
Speaker 1: your team is great, and then everybody gets paid, you

167
00:08:14,240 --> 00:08:15,920
Speaker 1: know what I mean. And so for me, if guys

168
00:08:16,080 --> 00:08:18,200
Speaker 1: give me as one of those guys that's gonna make

169
00:08:18,240 --> 00:08:19,880
Speaker 1: the play that you know, the rely on, don't make

170
00:08:19,880 --> 00:08:22,320
Speaker 1: the play now if I'm making that play, and that's

171
00:08:22,320 --> 00:08:24,760
Speaker 1: just open up for Smooth to make a play. That's

172
00:08:24,800 --> 00:08:27,560
Speaker 1: opening up for Roy as opening for Miles, that's up

173
00:08:27,560 --> 00:08:29,760
Speaker 1: for the back end shot. So now we're playing great

174
00:08:29,760 --> 00:08:32,040
Speaker 1: team defense. And yeah, I might not get the sack,

175
00:08:32,480 --> 00:08:35,280
Speaker 1: but we're playing great team defense. You know, Smooth getting president,

176
00:08:35,280 --> 00:08:37,720
Speaker 1: I'm getting president shots getting picked where he's getting picked,

177
00:08:37,880 --> 00:08:39,800
Speaker 1: you know, saying, never getting picked, you know what I mean.

178
00:08:39,920 --> 00:08:42,840
Speaker 1: So I'm a big you know team first. You know,

179
00:08:42,960 --> 00:08:45,640
Speaker 1: we all eat because they find I'm gonna regardless. You

180
00:08:45,679 --> 00:08:47,520
Speaker 1: know what I'm saying in my mind's I'm gonna get mines.

181
00:08:47,920 --> 00:08:49,319
Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying. I want you to get

182
00:08:49,400 --> 00:08:51,920
Speaker 1: choice too, And that's how we're all gonna eat. That's

183
00:08:51,920 --> 00:08:53,760
Speaker 1: how that's how we're gonna get on one mind. That's

184
00:08:53,800 --> 00:08:57,000
Speaker 1: how we're gonna play. And so I've been like that

185
00:08:57,080 --> 00:09:00,240
Speaker 1: since high school and I'm never going to continue to top.

186
00:09:00,400 --> 00:09:03,160
Speaker 1: It's just me, But I care about the Saxon I'm

187
00:09:03,160 --> 00:09:05,320
Speaker 1: competing every play, like with me and smooth me and

188
00:09:05,320 --> 00:09:08,200
Speaker 1: smooth every play. You know what I mean. Who's gonna

189
00:09:08,240 --> 00:09:10,120
Speaker 1: get there? Who gonna get there? You know what I'm saying.

190
00:09:10,200 --> 00:09:12,240
Speaker 1: Like I wanted to get here, but I damn want

191
00:09:12,280 --> 00:09:13,880
Speaker 1: me to get there first, you know what I mean.

192
00:09:13,920 --> 00:09:16,160
Speaker 1: He feels the same way. But that's just how we are.

193
00:09:16,280 --> 00:09:18,480
Speaker 1: We love each other. I love the smooth he loved me,

194
00:09:18,559 --> 00:09:20,880
Speaker 1: you know, on it. All the field, we're good, you

195
00:09:20,880 --> 00:09:22,240
Speaker 1: know what I'm saying. But once we get out there,

196
00:09:22,320 --> 00:09:24,560
Speaker 1: I wanted to get it, but trust me, I'm gonna

197
00:09:24,559 --> 00:09:26,800
Speaker 1: get that, you know what I mean. And so that's

198
00:09:26,800 --> 00:09:28,640
Speaker 1: just how we are, man, That's how we you know

199
00:09:28,640 --> 00:09:31,120
Speaker 1: what I'm saying, That's how mindsets. So we're gonna continue

200
00:09:31,160 --> 00:09:33,480
Speaker 1: to play like that. I know you talked about it yesterday,

201
00:09:33,559 --> 00:09:36,079
Speaker 1: but I can't get this podcast asking about the other

202
00:09:36,200 --> 00:09:40,040
Speaker 1: Josh Allen. It's been such a weird thing. Um, you know,

203
00:09:40,200 --> 00:09:42,960
Speaker 1: anything that you didn't share already with the media, that's

204
00:09:43,000 --> 00:09:45,360
Speaker 1: weird about that too. Has there been a time you've

205
00:09:45,360 --> 00:09:47,840
Speaker 1: been watching TV and they said Josh Allen and you've

206
00:09:47,840 --> 00:09:50,199
Speaker 1: looked up and they're like, oh, it's the other guy. Man,

207
00:09:50,200 --> 00:09:51,880
Speaker 1: I don't want to get that man too much clause,

208
00:09:52,000 --> 00:09:55,839
Speaker 1: so I'm not you know, because they already I think

209
00:09:55,880 --> 00:09:59,000
Speaker 1: they already said, they already saying the real Josh Allen

210
00:09:59,120 --> 00:10:02,080
Speaker 1: coming to Jacksonville. So I kind of feel disrespected about that.

211
00:10:02,559 --> 00:10:05,640
Speaker 1: So you know, I'm tired. You know, he got the

212
00:10:05,720 --> 00:10:08,160
Speaker 1: upper hand right now. So I'm ready to play, and

213
00:10:08,240 --> 00:10:09,880
Speaker 1: I'm ready to you know what I'm saying, Put those

214
00:10:09,960 --> 00:10:12,520
Speaker 1: naysayers to go, and then I'll tell you the story

215
00:10:12,559 --> 00:10:16,640
Speaker 1: after fair enough, that makes sense. Hey, UM, I see

216
00:10:16,640 --> 00:10:19,120
Speaker 1: one thing. And I don't always ask guys when they

217
00:10:19,160 --> 00:10:22,400
Speaker 1: come in here about the community, but there seems to

218
00:10:22,440 --> 00:10:25,480
Speaker 1: be at a very young age for you, a connection

219
00:10:25,520 --> 00:10:28,960
Speaker 1: with Jacksonville. And uh, maybe it's because you're married, you're

220
00:10:29,000 --> 00:10:31,120
Speaker 1: more mature than a lot of guys coming in, you

221
00:10:31,200 --> 00:10:33,680
Speaker 1: have three kids. But there's a real connection for you

222
00:10:33,720 --> 00:10:37,240
Speaker 1: with this city, is there not? Uh? It is man like.

223
00:10:37,400 --> 00:10:41,000
Speaker 1: Uh you're talking about like deeper than I love this.

224
00:10:41,080 --> 00:10:43,160
Speaker 1: I love the state, I love I love Florida, I

225
00:10:43,200 --> 00:10:46,440
Speaker 1: love the state. I love Jacksonville. Uh. I feel like

226
00:10:46,600 --> 00:10:48,360
Speaker 1: it's you know what I'm saying. We've met a lot

227
00:10:48,400 --> 00:10:51,079
Speaker 1: of great people out here, a lot of great connections

228
00:10:51,160 --> 00:10:55,160
Speaker 1: for years and you know, maybe forever. And my wife

229
00:10:55,160 --> 00:10:57,360
Speaker 1: and I we just you know what I'm saying, We

230
00:10:57,400 --> 00:10:59,240
Speaker 1: feel like this is the city for us, and so

231
00:10:59,320 --> 00:11:01,960
Speaker 1: that makes me want to play for even more because

232
00:11:02,120 --> 00:11:03,800
Speaker 1: I'm a part of it. I live it, you know

233
00:11:03,800 --> 00:11:06,000
Speaker 1: what I'm saying. Like I'm not from it, but one

234
00:11:06,000 --> 00:11:08,040
Speaker 1: of my kids are from it. Two of my kids

235
00:11:08,120 --> 00:11:11,280
Speaker 1: from Jacksonville, you know what I'm saying. So not only

236
00:11:11,320 --> 00:11:12,920
Speaker 1: am I playing for myself and for this team, but

237
00:11:12,920 --> 00:11:14,880

239
00:11:19,040 --> 00:11:20,520
Speaker 1: something to be proud about. You know what I'm saying.

Speaker 1: and any so I and that's what I'm trying to

244
00:11:32,840 --> 00:11:34,480
Speaker 1: bring back, you know what I mean. I know we

245
00:11:34,559 --> 00:11:36,920
Speaker 1: have a great fan base. I know they're talking about Jacksonville,

246
00:11:36,960 --> 00:11:41,319
Speaker 1: it's Jacksonville that but this fan base is unbelievable. Uh yeah,

247
00:11:41,520 --> 00:11:42,840
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying. We have the ones that

248
00:11:42,960 --> 00:11:45,160
Speaker 1: say this, say that, But when it's time to go

249
00:11:45,240 --> 00:11:46,599
Speaker 1: they're gonna go. You know what I'm saying when you

250
00:11:46,600 --> 00:11:49,160
Speaker 1: see them out of public there, You know what I'm saying,

251
00:11:49,320 --> 00:11:52,000
Speaker 1: nothing but positivity. Nothing but we're gonna get We're gonna

00:11:56,240 --> 00:11:59,600
Speaker 1: play for it even more. I love Duval man, and

255
00:11:59,640 --> 00:12:02,520
Speaker 1: I'm of ball to the day I die. Hopefully, you know,

256
00:12:02,720 --> 00:12:06,679
Speaker 1: and hopefully the city you know knows that give me

257
00:12:06,840 --> 00:12:10,840
Speaker 1: one thing that I should be excited about about this team,

258
00:12:10,880 --> 00:12:13,600
Speaker 1: And maybe I don't know what do you like about

259
00:12:13,600 --> 00:12:16,160
Speaker 1: it right now? Going forward? Man, We're hungry. And I

260
00:12:16,360 --> 00:12:19,640
Speaker 1: told you from the beginning. Man, like every week, Man,

261
00:12:20,000 --> 00:12:23,440
Speaker 1: I know the outcome does not reflect the way you know,

262
00:12:23,520 --> 00:12:26,000
Speaker 1: it looks like we play, But we played freaking hard

263
00:12:26,800 --> 00:12:30,120
Speaker 1: and we played fast. We play physical, and we need

264
00:12:30,160 --> 00:12:32,120
Speaker 1: to play like that every play. We need to play

265
00:12:32,240 --> 00:12:36,000
Speaker 1: mistake free football. And as soon as we get mistake

266
00:12:36,080 --> 00:12:39,080
Speaker 1: free football, we are a dominant defense. And we need

267
00:12:39,120 --> 00:12:41,920
Speaker 1: to get takeaways. That's the only that's what we're missing.

268
00:12:41,960 --> 00:12:45,520
Speaker 1: We're missing takeaways and mistake free football. But when we

269
00:12:45,559 --> 00:12:47,960
Speaker 1: don't have mistake football, we are one. I feel like

270
00:12:47,960 --> 00:12:50,120
Speaker 1: we were one of the best defenses out there, and

271
00:12:50,200 --> 00:12:51,760
Speaker 1: when we get the takeaways, where we are going to

272
00:12:51,800 --> 00:12:54,880
Speaker 1: be the best defense out there. So, uh, we we

273
00:12:54,960 --> 00:12:57,560
Speaker 1: have a good, great opportunity this week and playing with

274

Speaker 1: it and we're not gonna shy away from it, you
