1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:03,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, chilling sit it for th night.

2
00:00:05,040 --> 00:00:05,280
Speaker 2: Yeah.

3
00:00:05,720 --> 00:00:07,960
Speaker 1: I mean it's it's football. That's what we're here for.

4
00:00:08,360 --> 00:00:09,120
Speaker 1: You gonna get the play.

5
00:00:09,720 --> 00:00:09,880
Speaker 2: Uh.

6
00:00:09,920 --> 00:00:12,799
Speaker 1: I don't know. You gotta ask the coaches and trainers Martine.

7
00:00:12,800 --> 00:00:14,480
Speaker 1: How much have you picked up so far from uh,

8
00:00:14,520 --> 00:00:18,280
Speaker 1: from some of the veterans that are walking through this defense? Uh?

9
00:00:18,600 --> 00:00:18,880
Speaker 1: A lot.

10
00:00:18,880 --> 00:00:21,079
Speaker 2: There's a lot to learn. If you ask a question,

11
00:00:21,079 --> 00:00:23,040
Speaker 2: you gonna learn something. I feel like even if you

12
00:00:23,040 --> 00:00:24,599
Speaker 2: don't ask a question, you gonna learn something.

13
00:00:24,400 --> 00:00:28,440
Speaker 1: Here Martine, what's one thing that playing linebacker, as much

14
00:00:28,440 --> 00:00:30,440
Speaker 1: as you could have, uh, has improved from a camp

15
00:00:30,440 --> 00:00:33,959
Speaker 1: started two weeks ago to today? Uh.

16
00:00:34,159 --> 00:00:36,720
Speaker 2: I think it just starts with learning the defense, and

17
00:00:36,760 --> 00:00:38,960
Speaker 2: that's what's improved the most. You really can't do anything

18
00:00:39,040 --> 00:00:41,720
Speaker 2: unless you know what you're doing, So i'd probably say that,

19
00:00:42,200 --> 00:00:42,479
Speaker 2: And what.

20
00:00:42,560 --> 00:00:46,640
Speaker 1: What's that process been like for you on a daily basis? Uh?

21
00:00:47,920 --> 00:00:51,559
Speaker 2: Getting the plays, asking questions when I'm not sure, and

22
00:00:51,600 --> 00:00:53,160
Speaker 2: then just trying not.

23
00:00:53,080 --> 00:00:54,240
Speaker 1: To repeat any mistakes.

24
00:00:54,480 --> 00:00:57,440
Speaker 2: And that's pretty much just my formula at least for

25
00:00:57,520 --> 00:00:59,040
Speaker 2: right now, on how to build.

26
00:00:59,480 --> 00:01:00,160
Speaker 1: Do you think it's.

27
00:01:00,080 --> 00:01:02,040
Speaker 2: Through one of those things that the veterans were able

28
00:01:02,080 --> 00:01:03,920
Speaker 2: to clear up for you? Whether you ask the question

29
00:01:03,960 --> 00:01:08,039
Speaker 2: or whether they just kind ofward you. Uh, just how

30
00:01:08,160 --> 00:01:10,840
Speaker 2: much we do here and how much football knows there

31
00:01:10,920 --> 00:01:14,520
Speaker 2: is here. There's a lot of fogs, So I feel

32
00:01:14,520 --> 00:01:16,840
Speaker 2: like just if you have a conversation with one of them,

33
00:01:16,920 --> 00:01:18,280
Speaker 2: a lot of the foot there, a lot of the

34
00:01:18,280 --> 00:01:20,959
Speaker 2: people here are football guys. So it's gonna start bleeding

35
00:01:21,000 --> 00:01:25,679
Speaker 2: into something that you're gonna learn Martin at you just

36
00:01:25,680 --> 00:01:28,759
Speaker 2: brace each of your quarterbacks. What challenges each of those

37
00:01:28,760 --> 00:01:32,240
Speaker 2: guys spring, Uh, they're all a little bit different, and

38
00:01:32,280 --> 00:01:35,759
Speaker 2: they all have a little bit different of like processing

39
00:01:35,800 --> 00:01:38,280
Speaker 2: and and things that they like to hit. So it's

40
00:01:38,360 --> 00:01:40,360
Speaker 2: just picking up on that. But really it's just playing

41
00:01:40,400 --> 00:01:42,160
Speaker 2: your keys and making sure that you don't mess up.

42
00:01:42,200 --> 00:01:44,480
Speaker 2: And then that's how you force the quarterbacks.

43
00:01:44,520 --> 00:01:46,039
Speaker 1: And what is the What.

44
00:01:46,000 --> 00:01:48,280
Speaker 2: Has the classroom work have been like so far in training,

45
00:01:48,320 --> 00:01:50,120
Speaker 2: gab And is that a little bit different than what you've.

46
00:01:50,000 --> 00:01:53,000
Speaker 1: Been used to? Uh? Not super different.

47
00:01:53,560 --> 00:01:56,400
Speaker 2: Just learn as much as I can, learned the playbook,

48
00:01:56,640 --> 00:01:57,840
Speaker 2: learn how to play with the guys that are on

49
00:01:57,880 --> 00:02:00,440
Speaker 2: the field with me and the guys that I will

50
00:02:00,480 --> 00:02:04,240
Speaker 2: be playing with. So just learn everybody and how they think,

51
00:02:04,280 --> 00:02:06,320
Speaker 2: and then just trying to fit into that puzzle. Do

52
00:02:06,400 --> 00:02:09,400
Speaker 2: you feel confident going Thursday against the Texas with the installation?

53
00:02:10,280 --> 00:02:13,000
Speaker 1: I do feel confident, but there's always room to grow. Martine.

54
00:02:13,000 --> 00:02:16,320
Speaker 1: How much has have things maybe slowed down for you from.

55
00:02:16,160 --> 00:02:19,880
Speaker 2: Say like rookie camp to now you know, Uh, it's

56
00:02:19,880 --> 00:02:22,560
Speaker 2: b it's slowed down a lot, but there's still, Like

57
00:02:22,600 --> 00:02:23,880
Speaker 2: I said, there's a lot of room to grow.

58
00:02:23,960 --> 00:02:27,240
Speaker 1: But it's been a lot better. It's not learning everything

59
00:02:27,280 --> 00:02:27,720
Speaker 1: at once.

60
00:02:28,040 --> 00:02:30,280
Speaker 2: I had that period and then I had to break

61
00:02:30,440 --> 00:02:31,200
Speaker 2: and then now.

62
00:02:31,160 --> 00:02:32,919
Speaker 1: Uh huh, so it just it feels a little bit better.

63
00:02:33,040 --> 00:02:34,920
Speaker 2: What's the advantage of that when it slows down for

64
00:02:34,960 --> 00:02:36,840
Speaker 2: you a little bit in terms of the recognition and

65
00:02:37,200 --> 00:02:38,960
Speaker 2: maybe where it fit is where you're supposed to be.

66
00:02:39,200 --> 00:02:42,000
Speaker 1: You could just start playing football again. I know guys

67
00:02:42,040 --> 00:02:42,800
Speaker 1: have talked about it.

68
00:02:42,960 --> 00:02:46,240
Speaker 2: Uh, you know there's stages of the process here, But

69
00:02:46,280 --> 00:02:48,200
Speaker 2: what would it mean to you to step out under

70
00:02:48,200 --> 00:02:50,720
Speaker 2: that the field for that first time in that first

71
00:02:51,000 --> 00:02:55,359
Speaker 2: pre Susy hid, Uh, it'll just feel like the first step.

72
00:02:56,040 --> 00:02:59,480
Speaker 2: There's long ways ahead from here, but uh, it'll just

73
00:02:59,480 --> 00:03:01,680
Speaker 2: feel like a good first step for me. When you

74
00:03:01,680 --> 00:03:04,840
Speaker 2: were playing how do you go about learning to play book?

75
00:03:04,880 --> 00:03:06,760
Speaker 1: Do you do you just focus on safety and linebacker?

76
00:03:06,760 --> 00:03:07,720
Speaker 2: Do you learn everything?

77
00:03:07,800 --> 00:03:09,079
Speaker 1: Like? What was that process like for you?

78
00:03:09,639 --> 00:03:12,160
Speaker 2: I start with whatever they're gonna have me play that day,

79
00:03:12,520 --> 00:03:15,080
Speaker 2: and then just try to soak up as much as

80
00:03:15,080 --> 00:03:18,200
Speaker 2: I can and then ask different questions about a lot

81
00:03:18,240 --> 00:03:21,080
Speaker 2: of the stuff here, Like you kind of have to

82
00:03:21,080 --> 00:03:24,120
Speaker 2: know everybody else's job. So that also helps me. It

83
00:03:24,160 --> 00:03:26,560
Speaker 2: made it hard in the beginning, but it also helps me.

84
00:03:26,600 --> 00:03:28,240
Speaker 2: And just being able to plug.

85
00:03:28,000 --> 00:03:31,639
Speaker 1: In talk about asking a lot of questions and things

86
00:03:31,639 --> 00:03:31,840
Speaker 1: like that.

87
00:03:31,880 --> 00:03:34,240
Speaker 2: Has there been one veteran that you've really relied on

88
00:03:34,520 --> 00:03:37,960
Speaker 2: during this time asking all those questions and things like that.

89
00:03:41,120 --> 00:03:44,480
Speaker 2: It's been different just because I can, like I said before,

90
00:03:44,520 --> 00:03:47,360
Speaker 2: like I can ask anybody, and it's really just whoever

91
00:03:47,400 --> 00:03:50,119
Speaker 2: I'm sitting closest to that day, honestly, or whoever I've

92
00:03:50,200 --> 00:03:52,920
Speaker 2: just been around the most of that day. But I

93
00:03:52,960 --> 00:03:56,840
Speaker 2: can ask the coaches, players, whether they're second years, they're

94
00:03:56,880 --> 00:04:00,360
Speaker 2: not starting, they are starting their well known name games.

95
00:04:00,680 --> 00:04:03,960
Speaker 1: So I I really just ask anybody, do you enjoying this?

96
00:04:04,120 --> 00:04:04,280
Speaker 2: Uh?

97
00:04:04,280 --> 00:04:05,960
Speaker 1: This new England weather? You getting used to it?

98
00:04:06,920 --> 00:04:07,119
Speaker 2: Uh?

99
00:04:07,720 --> 00:04:10,400
Speaker 1: I'm just little with right now being too crazy?

100
00:04:10,760 --> 00:04:12,800
Speaker 2: What did we talk about you know, you playing linebacker

101
00:04:12,840 --> 00:04:15,320
Speaker 2: and safety, but even with and that, there are different positions.

102
00:04:15,320 --> 00:04:17,680
Speaker 2: You know, will like Sam, are you learning all the

103
00:04:17,720 --> 00:04:21,840
Speaker 2: linebacker positions? And uh, they're kind of managing me in

104
00:04:21,960 --> 00:04:24,120
Speaker 2: terms of what I have to digest just so then no,

105
00:04:24,120 --> 00:04:26,400
Speaker 2: I don't get overwhelmed and then start short circuiting out

106
00:04:26,440 --> 00:04:28,240
Speaker 2: out there, Cause if I go out there and then

107
00:04:28,320 --> 00:04:31,520
Speaker 2: think every time I'm out there, start off with all

108
00:04:31,520 --> 00:04:34,479
Speaker 2: the living people's jobs, that might mess me up. So

109
00:04:34,560 --> 00:04:37,440
Speaker 2: I just where am I wear? Am I on the

110
00:04:37,440 --> 00:04:40,040
Speaker 2: field at that point in time? And then kind of

111
00:04:40,080 --> 00:04:42,200
Speaker 2: just what how do I fit into this puzzle? What

112
00:04:42,320 --> 00:04:44,599
Speaker 2: job do I need to do? And then whenever I

113
00:04:44,680 --> 00:04:46,839
Speaker 2: get back to the drawing board, that's where I get

114
00:04:47,400 --> 00:04:48,400
Speaker 2: big picture things.

115
00:04:48,480 --> 00:04:49,960
Speaker 1: Just because it slows down. You don't have to go

116
00:04:50,000 --> 00:04:55,760
Speaker 1: like this no more, one last special given you any purpose? Uh,

117
00:04:56,040 --> 00:04:59,560
Speaker 1: just being on the field, that's my purpose. And here

118
00:04:59,600 --> 00:05:01,520
Speaker 1: equations She had much appreciate you don't have a blessed

119
00:05:01,560 --> 00:05:01,720
Speaker 1: day
