1
00:00:02,200 --> 00:00:07,360
Speaker 1: How you doing more good? Going good? He needs to

2
00:00:07,440 --> 00:00:15,920
Speaker 1: put up had more linebackers told each other what he

3
00:00:16,000 --> 00:00:18,680
Speaker 1: knows now it's like or how he feels about the

4
00:00:18,720 --> 00:00:22,959
Speaker 1: defense is like night day from last year. Way, you know,

5
00:00:23,000 --> 00:00:25,200
Speaker 1: I feel like putting a lot of extra time in

6
00:00:25,239 --> 00:00:28,040
Speaker 1: the off season, getting into my playbook and just watching

7
00:00:28,040 --> 00:00:30,960
Speaker 1: some old film and going over corrections and mistakes. I'm

8
00:00:30,960 --> 00:00:33,680
Speaker 1: a man last year and just continuing to improve in

9
00:00:33,800 --> 00:00:37,160
Speaker 1: my free time. So like you know, obviously extra preparations helped,

10
00:00:37,200 --> 00:00:39,519
Speaker 1: you know, preparing for camp, and I'm you know, have

11
00:00:39,600 --> 00:00:42,479
Speaker 1: a steady foot, steady understanding of the foundation of the defense,

12
00:00:42,520 --> 00:00:44,400
Speaker 1: and you know, i'd say it's been a it's been

13
00:00:44,440 --> 00:00:52,720
Speaker 1: a great transition. Yeah, definitely yack rooms and stuff about yourself.

14
00:00:53,800 --> 00:00:58,520
Speaker 1: It's last first, that's all about adaptation. Um, you know,

15
00:00:58,520 --> 00:01:01,680
Speaker 1: only the strong survive. You know, some offerre COVID and

16
00:01:01,720 --> 00:01:04,360
Speaker 1: restricts and things. So things were as normal ass they

17
00:01:04,400 --> 00:01:07,160
Speaker 1: were in past here. So just being able to kind

18
00:01:07,200 --> 00:01:09,440
Speaker 1: of adapt, you know, roll with the punches and kind

19
00:01:09,480 --> 00:01:12,560
Speaker 1: of figure out what avenue is best suiting, you know,

20
00:01:12,600 --> 00:01:15,520
Speaker 1: and the best way to go about things for carrying. Yeah,

21
00:01:15,600 --> 00:01:23,520
Speaker 1: just adaptation, That's what I learned about myself. It's been great.

22
00:01:23,600 --> 00:01:25,319
Speaker 1: You know. You give me the chance to really just

23
00:01:25,680 --> 00:01:28,080
Speaker 1: you know, learn the community. You know, go around Boston,

24
00:01:28,160 --> 00:01:30,959
Speaker 1: see some of the good restaurants to go to, just

25
00:01:31,040 --> 00:01:38,200
Speaker 1: kind of bomb with my teammates. So where you can

26
00:01:39,000 --> 00:01:43,440
Speaker 1: to make yourself a uh just watching film every day,

27
00:01:43,440 --> 00:01:46,479
Speaker 1: and I mean you just gotta watch everybody study everything

28
00:01:46,520 --> 00:01:50,320
Speaker 1: and study formation, study tenanses, you know, just understand what

29
00:01:50,320 --> 00:01:58,640
Speaker 1: we're trying to accomplish each week. So you know, well

30
00:02:01,600 --> 00:02:03,520
Speaker 1: it's kind of just study. This is a culmination of

31
00:02:03,640 --> 00:02:06,840
Speaker 1: different things, you know, just stuff. I'm the hardest critic

32
00:02:06,840 --> 00:02:09,000
Speaker 1: on myself, so I'm always just looking at the slight

33
00:02:09,040 --> 00:02:11,079
Speaker 1: two weeks I can make to my game where there's

34
00:02:11,120 --> 00:02:14,120
Speaker 1: this technique, whether it's this you know stance or whatever.

35
00:02:14,200 --> 00:02:16,600
Speaker 1: You know, I'm just constantly on it. Even if it's good,

36
00:02:16,639 --> 00:02:18,200
Speaker 1: you know what, it's always from it to be better.

37
00:02:18,280 --> 00:02:21,480
Speaker 1: So you don't want to hear the food. I think

38
00:02:21,480 --> 00:02:23,280
Speaker 1: we both want to put the pass on at this point.

39
00:02:23,320 --> 00:02:26,359
Speaker 1: So why do you guys? I mean why, I mean

40
00:02:26,360 --> 00:02:28,720
Speaker 1: because it's contact this football we're playing, you know, so

41
00:02:28,760 --> 00:02:39,519
Speaker 1: it's what's football without contact? Is that what he's said?

42
00:02:40,120 --> 00:02:42,960
Speaker 1: I might have to go ask about them. But it's great.

43
00:02:42,960 --> 00:02:44,680
Speaker 1: I mean, you know, it's it's a great mentor to have.

44
00:02:44,840 --> 00:02:47,840
Speaker 1: I mean, just a pastor's knowledge he brings to the game.

45
00:02:47,880 --> 00:02:50,880
Speaker 1: It's overall understanding of football brings to the game. I mean,

46
00:02:51,240 --> 00:02:54,040
Speaker 1: I just you know, I couldn't ask for a better mentor,

47
00:02:54,120 --> 00:02:56,120
Speaker 1: you know, from the guys inside the linebacker room, but

48
00:02:56,240 --> 00:03:01,959
Speaker 1: just learn from you. It's great. Having thus been working

49
00:03:02,000 --> 00:03:05,560
Speaker 1: out a little bit, you know, I already know, I mean,

50
00:03:06,600 --> 00:03:16,280
Speaker 1: just been eating, working on running. So yeah, definitely definitely

51
00:03:16,400 --> 00:03:18,639
Speaker 1: got me rookie year. You know, most guys say it's

52
00:03:18,639 --> 00:03:21,040
Speaker 1: the hardest year you guys trans to sting to the league,

53
00:03:21,080 --> 00:03:23,880
Speaker 1: and you know, yeah, because you're coming off for college

54
00:03:23,919 --> 00:03:26,200
Speaker 1: and you know different things and you can't really solely

55
00:03:26,240 --> 00:03:29,000
Speaker 1: focus on football, finding your footing and stuff like that.

56
00:03:29,080 --> 00:03:31,760
Speaker 1: So this off seasons help get really kind of find

57
00:03:31,800 --> 00:03:44,760
Speaker 1: my routine. Competition generally makes I've talk I mean, I'm
