1 00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:03,120 Speaker 1: You took your game two new heights this year. Obviously 2 00:00:03,120 --> 00:00:06,520 Speaker 1: a lot goes into that. What did you think really 3 00:00:06,640 --> 00:00:09,120 Speaker 1: enabled you to have a career year like you did? 4 00:00:09,600 --> 00:00:14,160 Speaker 1: Man just attacking like were in attacking front defense, and 5 00:00:14,160 --> 00:00:16,759 Speaker 1: also like just allowing me to go out there and 6 00:00:16,840 --> 00:00:20,400 Speaker 1: be free, like use my speed, use my power to 7 00:00:20,400 --> 00:00:26,119 Speaker 1: go out there and throw guys around. Then we got 8 00:00:26,160 --> 00:00:29,920 Speaker 1: this dominant defensive line. We got the force and Yung 9 00:00:30,720 --> 00:00:34,639 Speaker 1: Quitty and Da Yo and Tayplon that was also out there. 10 00:00:34,680 --> 00:00:37,680 Speaker 1: So like just having everybody free running around making players. 11 00:00:38,400 --> 00:00:41,000 Speaker 1: This is me saying this, right, So you guys on defense, 12 00:00:41,440 --> 00:00:44,760 Speaker 1: you were a much better unit than four twelve and one, right, 13 00:00:44,800 --> 00:00:46,560 Speaker 1: So let's get that out of the way. But where 14 00:00:46,560 --> 00:00:49,760 Speaker 1: do you think yourself and the guys around you on defense? 15 00:00:50,200 --> 00:00:51,640 Speaker 1: How do you think you guys were able to take 16 00:00:51,680 --> 00:00:54,720 Speaker 1: the next step collectively as a unit as you progress 17 00:00:54,800 --> 00:00:56,760 Speaker 1: to try to get back to the playoffs. We just 18 00:00:56,800 --> 00:00:59,240 Speaker 1: got to stay closer, like I told him, like mid season, 19 00:00:59,760 --> 00:01:02,160 Speaker 1: like no matter what situation we're going through, like we 20 00:01:02,280 --> 00:01:05,160 Speaker 1: just got to be closer, like playing for each other 21 00:01:05,200 --> 00:01:08,360 Speaker 1: and like being there for each other. And I think 22 00:01:08,400 --> 00:01:10,679 Speaker 1: that'd be like the biggest step for us just to 23 00:01:10,720 --> 00:01:13,280 Speaker 1: be close and like play for each other and play 24 00:01:13,280 --> 00:01:15,640 Speaker 1: for the guy next to you, and like play for 25 00:01:15,680 --> 00:01:18,199 Speaker 1: the name on your back. So from a team perspective, 26 00:01:18,240 --> 00:01:20,760 Speaker 1: as a guy inside this locker room this year, how 27 00:01:20,760 --> 00:01:25,800 Speaker 1: difficult was it for you with the coaching changes, quarterback changes, 28 00:01:26,080 --> 00:01:29,400 Speaker 1: you know, leaders being identified sort of week by week. 29 00:01:29,680 --> 00:01:32,440 Speaker 1: How difficult was that for you to to process that 30 00:01:32,600 --> 00:01:34,880 Speaker 1: on the fly? So man, you know me, Man, I 31 00:01:34,959 --> 00:01:38,360 Speaker 1: really keep it simple, like with the changes in everything 32 00:01:38,760 --> 00:01:43,720 Speaker 1: they can change, the head coach, quarterbacks, Like, I'm trying 33 00:01:43,720 --> 00:01:45,960 Speaker 1: not to worry about that because I know I got 34 00:01:45,959 --> 00:01:48,800 Speaker 1: a job to do and my job to go out 35 00:01:48,840 --> 00:01:51,240 Speaker 1: there and start to run and rest the quarterback. So 36 00:01:52,000 --> 00:01:54,360 Speaker 1: I keep it really simple. Man, I stay on my 37 00:01:54,480 --> 00:01:57,040 Speaker 1: track and I don't be worrying about all that. So 38 00:01:57,120 --> 00:01:59,360 Speaker 1: that really don't affect me. With that in mind. How 39 00:01:59,440 --> 00:02:02,360 Speaker 1: much did you enjoy Jeff Saturday and what he brought 40 00:02:02,400 --> 00:02:06,320 Speaker 1: to this this locker room. I enjoyed Jeff a lot, man. 41 00:02:07,120 --> 00:02:10,760 Speaker 1: Like I said earlier, he used to always talk trash 42 00:02:10,800 --> 00:02:13,399 Speaker 1: to men, and I'll tell him I would have woke 43 00:02:13,440 --> 00:02:16,280 Speaker 1: them back in the day. So but he brought like 44 00:02:16,360 --> 00:02:21,200 Speaker 1: a lot of good energy here and he had the 45 00:02:21,320 --> 00:02:25,040 Speaker 1: guys like winning to finish the season scroum like they 46 00:02:25,200 --> 00:02:29,600 Speaker 1: was giving them everything they have and that's good for 47 00:02:29,639 --> 00:02:33,680 Speaker 1: a team that change head coach mid season. For you, 48 00:02:33,800 --> 00:02:35,600 Speaker 1: how did you feel like you played this year? Like 49 00:02:35,639 --> 00:02:37,440 Speaker 1: I said, you had a career year? But are you 50 00:02:37,480 --> 00:02:41,400 Speaker 1: satisfied with what you put out? Never satisfied because I 51 00:02:41,400 --> 00:02:44,400 Speaker 1: didn't get what I deserve.

So are you are you po that you 56 00:02:54,480 --> 00:02:56,000 Speaker 1: didn't make the problem? Do you have a chip on 57 00:02:56,040 --> 00:02:58,800 Speaker 1: your shoulder because of that? I mean because of that end, 58 00:02:58,840 --> 00:03:02,680 Speaker 1: because like I stidn't get out of respect that I deserve. 59 00:03:02,760 --> 00:03:06,240 Speaker 1: So I'm coming forward off.
