Speaker 1: Snacks. What do you look back at Sunday's game with
Speaker 1: the Eagles and you guys coming to work today, it's Monday,
Speaker 1: it's correction day. What do you guys seeing felt. Um,
Speaker 1: you know, it was great effort, especially in the second half,
Speaker 1: but we left a lot of players out there on
Speaker 1: the field. Um, you know, it wasn't so much of
Speaker 1: what they did. You know, I take my hats off
Speaker 1: to the guys over there. They came in with an
Speaker 1: excellent game plan, but you know, it was more self
Speaker 1: inflicted wound than anything. Larry talked about it before and
Speaker 1: he asked this question that the brikashaw was damon. How
Speaker 1: much halftime adjustments did you guys make? Was it? Or
Speaker 1: was it? Hey, listen, we're just not playing to our level.
Speaker 1: You guys know what you're doing, and we're gonna run
Speaker 1: our stuff. Yeah, it was. It was just a little
Speaker 1: we're not we're not where we need to be. Um,
Speaker 1: we didn't change much, uh, if anything. You know, he
Speaker 1: just came in and related the message to the guys
Speaker 1: that we're not getting it done, so we need to
Speaker 1: pick it up, take it to another level. But you
Speaker 1: know there was something adjustments. Um, as far as the
Speaker 1: defensive front were concerned. But the guys in the back
Speaker 1: end that they play the heck of a game. And
Speaker 1: you know this game right here, we the guys that
Speaker 1: are front, we put that on ourselves because we're allowed
Speaker 1: wayy too many Russian guards. Damon, how tough was adjusting
Speaker 1: to their fast break offense that they have. How much
Speaker 1: of an adjustment was that for you guys? I find
Speaker 1: it was tough. Um, the first couple of teams he played,
Speaker 1: they weren't so much no how to like, Uh, the
Speaker 1: Eagles are, but um it was kind of a slow pace,
Speaker 1: you know, hurry up offense. Um, it wasn't what we expected.
Speaker 1: We were. I would say we were going at least
Speaker 1: twice as fast during the practice week so we could
Speaker 1: prepare for But um, you know it wasn't. It wasn't
Speaker 1: as bad and glass we thought it was gonna be.
Speaker 1: But you know, those guys came in with an excellent
Speaker 1: game playing and they executed it. How often does that
Speaker 1: happen where you see something on video or film that
Speaker 1: you prepare for and the the team comes out and
Speaker 1: changes makes adjustment, maybe slows the temple down speed some things.
Speaker 1: So maybe do something a little different every week. Every week. Um,
Speaker 1: you know the coaches, they self scouts, They self scout
Speaker 1: their own teams, so they're known for doing something. You know,
Speaker 1: you can't always just just do it every week. You
Speaker 1: have to change it up. You have to give us
Speaker 1: something and throw us out balance. And so that's what
Speaker 1: they kind of did. You have a new defensive line
Speaker 1: coach and Pepper Johnson, a former player. A character a
Speaker 1: guy gets after you follows up front, What specifically has
Speaker 1: he worked on with you? As far as technique, uest
Speaker 1: attacking the line of scrimmage, um taking a power step.
Speaker 1: You know, a lot of the stuff we did before
Speaker 1: was all pass rushing. It was speed, it was getting
Speaker 1: up the field. With him, it's it's more power rushing
Speaker 1: so that it's easy to convert some pass the run
Speaker 1: as opposed to if you're taking a speed step, you're
Speaker 1: really just focusing on the on the run stopping and
Speaker 1: it's harder to convert. What's he like in that the
Speaker 1: defensive line meeting room when you guys are all together,
Speaker 1: because you got some talent dudes up front and a
Speaker 1: lot of personalities. He said that he's a character man um,
Speaker 1: but he's played the game, So he understands the ends
Speaker 1: and the outs. Um, he can tell you exactly what's
Speaker 1: going on, and he isn't guessing on anything. He knows
Speaker 1: what you were thinking on in certain plays, and he
Speaker 1: also tells you what you should have been thinking on
Speaker 1: certain places. So you know, it's been a blessing to
Speaker 1: have fet in the room. Now, speaking of adjustment, you
Speaker 1: made an adjustment yourself thinner than you were before. Tell
Speaker 1: me how you make the adjustment to lose the weight
Speaker 1: but not lose the strength. How do you make the
Speaker 1: adjustment to what you do with weight training? You have
Speaker 1: to supplement. How did you change your thiets and everything else? Um,
Speaker 1: just just cut out some of the bad stuff. Um.
Speaker 1: You know, my nickname is Snacks. I'm known for eating
Speaker 1: a lot of you know, unhealthy food. So just curving
Speaker 1: that a little bit. Um, but still standing in the
Speaker 1: weight room, still lifting the weights. Um, it's kind of
Speaker 1: hard to drop weight without losing some muscle masks, but
Speaker 1: I was able to attain it. Now, how do you feel?
Speaker 1: Do you see the difference? You quicker? Are you? You know?
Speaker 1: Come on, if you can pray a little bit, come on,
Speaker 1: tell me how you feel. Yeah, I think I'm penetrating
Speaker 1: a whole lot more than I have in the past, um,
Speaker 1: which is the credit to the guys in the weight room.
Speaker 1: They did an excellent job with comparing me and also
Speaker 1: the guys that parabolic this offseason. But yeah, I do
Speaker 1: I feel a whole lot better. I mean my body,
Speaker 1: my knees, everything feels great. I think you look quicker.
Speaker 1: But it's not only are you embracing this system of
Speaker 1: one gaping, but the thing is you're go on side
Speaker 1: to side better than I've ever seen you before. I
Speaker 1: saw you made a play in a backfield uh yesterday
Speaker 1: where you're you're ding a near out of bounds. I
Speaker 1: mean you're covering, uh from a boundary to boundary at times.
Speaker 1: And how much pride are you taking in the fact
Speaker 1: that you are moving better and you aren't just staying
Speaker 1: in the middle. You make it plays already? Feel um,
Speaker 1: it feels great. Um. Philly came in that it wasn't
Speaker 1: too much down here running um, you know which I
Speaker 1: think that's the credit to our defensive line. It was
Speaker 1: more side to side. So in order for me to
Speaker 1: be a factor in the game and be able to
Speaker 1: make plays in the game, I had to adjust and
Speaker 1: um be able to move sideline the sideline with the
Speaker 1: rest of the guys when the defensive line. How's the
Speaker 1: rookie Leonard Williams coming along? Great? I mean you're seeing
Speaker 1: them on film. Man, Um, what's the difference. But what's
Speaker 1: the difference between week three and week one? Well, he
Speaker 1: knows exactly what to expect now before he was asking
Speaker 1: a lot of questions. But still, um, you can tell
Speaker 1: a rookie anything, but until they experienced it themselves and
Speaker 1: um and go through it, I mean he won't fully
Speaker 1: understand it. But now from week one week three, it's
Speaker 1: night and day. Damon harrison'st asked inside the jets here
Speaker 1: at College as Italian Village Larry Harshton Derek Allen on
Speaker 1: nine in the ESPN. How much fun is that for you?
Speaker 1: Was a ventuan to bring along a young guy, a
Speaker 1: rookie kid, uh teach him the way to make him
Speaker 1: a professional? Teaching from rolls. It's awesome because you know,
Speaker 1: I just see what the brickishaw saw when he looked
Speaker 1: at me. When because my locker is right next to
Speaker 1: him his and um, I would ask him questions every day,
Speaker 1: every minute. I had an opportunity to and I still
Speaker 1: do to this day. So you know, just just seeing
Speaker 1: how Leo is with myself and how I work with Brick,
Speaker 1: you know, I know how much that means to Leo
Speaker 1: and the rest of the guys when they asked me
Speaker 1: a question because they genuinely want to know. What did
Speaker 1: the young Damon asked the Brick Shaw back in the day,
Speaker 1: when when when you were a league out of william
Speaker 1: patting a little bit of everything? Man Um football life, Um,
Speaker 1: how to be a professional, how he was able to
Speaker 1: attain the status that he's had his entire career. Um,
Speaker 1: how to play certain blocks? What is he thinking when
Speaker 1: he's playing the defensive lineman that's known for using his
Speaker 1: hands versus a guy that's running up the field. You know,
Speaker 1: Um Brick, Nick Mangold And at the time, UM Brandon Moore.
Speaker 1: You know I stayed in those guys ears. I wanted
Speaker 1: to know. Now you got a guy coming back and
Speaker 1: Richardson after the break, after the big week, how much
Speaker 1: fun is that going to be to get your guy back?
Speaker 1: And how even though it's a tough situation, how good
Speaker 1: is it for Leonard Williams have gotten those reps? But
Speaker 1: you would not have gotten otherwise. It's it's everything, um,
Speaker 1: just to see what you know, Coach Bowls will do
Speaker 1: to get all of those guys on the field, you know,
Speaker 1: at once at one time. You know, I think it
Speaker 1: would be tough, but we'll get it done. And Shelton
Speaker 1: is a special player. UM, myself, Shelton and Mohammed, we
Speaker 1: we've built some chemistry with each other over the past
Speaker 1: couple of years and you know now we're trying to
Speaker 1: do that with Leo. But on one Shelton gets back
Speaker 1: on the practice ship. I mean it's talleng speaks for herself,
Speaker 1: the guys, the head coup of player and you know,
Speaker 1: we're excited to have him back. A big mole. Mohamed Wilkinson,
Speaker 1: you just mentioned him. We've unspoiled because we expect such
Speaker 1: good things from him and he's performed very well throughout
Speaker 1: these first three games. What about the play a legit
Speaker 1: ducible though, like guys come in and stepped into a
Speaker 1: bigger role for you guys here here early the season,
Speaker 1: and we've always known what Doudes who what could do
Speaker 1: since he's he's been here. Um, he's a backup on
Speaker 1: the depth chart, but the guy can step in and
Speaker 1: play big time innutes and produce. Um. I don't know
Speaker 1: if you've been paying attention, but dudes, it goes all
Speaker 1: over the field. He's at the linebacker spot. You know,
Speaker 1: it's tackle three technique defensive end. So you know, it's
Speaker 1: been a it's been good that we can have a
Speaker 1: guy like dudes whople to move all over the sale
Speaker 1: and keep teams off. As a kid who grew up
Speaker 1: in the South, what do you think about the Miami Dolphins?
Speaker 1: Who's right? Did you always think that way? Yeah? Yeah,
Speaker 1: I did. Um. I can't tell you who my team
Speaker 1: was back then, but you know I never liked the Dolphins.
Speaker 1: You're looking forward to this trip to London to face
Speaker 1: them in the divisional game? Not so much. The times
Speaker 1: don't change, you know. I'm I'm I'm a big sleep guy. UM,
Speaker 1: A lot a lot to get used to in a
Speaker 1: in a little amount of time. It's not gonna is
Speaker 1: that adjustment going to be something that you can't really
Speaker 1: think about. You just gotta let it happen, because well,
Speaker 1: I kind of mess you feel a little bit. You
Speaker 1: keep dwelling on, we keep asking you about Yeah, I
Speaker 1: don't think I'll have the time to really just not
Speaker 1: think about it. Um, because I think they said the
Speaker 1: game would be about nine o'clock our time, so they
Speaker 1: mean we'll be prepping about five o'clock in the morning here,
Speaker 1: you know, getting ready and just trying to just get
Speaker 1: excited and everything for the game. But it's a division
Speaker 1: game and it's a rivalry game, so I don't think
Speaker 1: it would be a problem. You think you're gonna be
Speaker 1: able to sleep on a plane Thursday? Oh yeah, no doubt. Okay,
Speaker 1: so you get there on Friday. You're excited. You're gonna
Speaker 1: be practicing on a rugby field. I don't I don't
Speaker 1: know the difference. They call it the pitch, right, Yeah. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I'm just excited to see some stuff. I've never been
Speaker 1: over that way before. Um, it'll probably be my last
Speaker 1: time if I'm not playing the game going over that way,
Speaker 1: I'm terrified the flying. But um, you know, hopefully I
Speaker 1: can sleep the entire trip. They not have to be
Speaker 1: up because I'm ed. But but you can sleep through hopefully. Yeah.
Speaker 1: I don't want to wake up. If I do. Um,
Speaker 1: you know, it'll be some problems. Oh really, yeah, them
Speaker 1: you're going to be the first one that's gonna want
Speaker 1: to go back over there. So you're saying that now,
Speaker 1: but you're gonna be the first one after which go back,
Speaker 1: have a little vacation over Absolutely. I don't think. What
Speaker 1: are you saying without a plane? Mohammed and THEE know
Speaker 1: about your fear, yeah he does. Um, I've been taking
Speaker 1: pictures to people sleeping and everybody get me back so
Speaker 1: you know there's six six and a half hour trip. Um,
Speaker 1: you know I have to sleep in one eye open. No,
Speaker 1: you can't do that. You gotta you gotta sleeper. But
Speaker 1: turned sideways, I think, bring a cover to cover my face.
Speaker 1: So okay, getting in a good picture. Alright, that's a
Speaker 1: good Yeah, listen, thanks for coming by, no problem, but
Speaker 1: happy on Sunday morning.
