1
00:00:07,280 --> 00:00:11,239
Speaker 1: I'm sorry. How you doing. How are you looking forward

2
00:00:11,280 --> 00:00:17,920
Speaker 1: to your first game as much as I can? Honestly,

3
00:00:18,360 --> 00:00:21,079
Speaker 1: just ready to get out there, start the season. Us

4
00:00:21,520 --> 00:00:24,680
Speaker 1: live bullets and they all count. Want to make them

5
00:00:24,680 --> 00:00:27,600
Speaker 1: count every every last game, every last night. I think

6
00:00:27,640 --> 00:00:29,240
Speaker 1: you said that you kind of set the mood in

7
00:00:29,280 --> 00:00:32,040
Speaker 1: the locker room. How do you do that? What mood

8
00:00:32,159 --> 00:00:36,639
Speaker 1: is that you? Uh, just a locker room move man. Uh,

9
00:00:37,159 --> 00:00:42,159
Speaker 1: you know you come in. Uh is a long season, uh,

10
00:00:42,200 --> 00:00:44,960
Speaker 1: and so you know we're we're in the beginning of it.

11
00:00:45,440 --> 00:00:48,240
Speaker 1: But uh, you just always want to have an upbeat

12
00:00:48,240 --> 00:00:50,159
Speaker 1: locker room. It's always want to be somewhere you want

13
00:00:50,159 --> 00:00:52,600
Speaker 1: to come to. And that's how I feel about the

14
00:00:52,640 --> 00:00:54,720
Speaker 1: locker room, and so we try to we try to

15
00:00:54,720 --> 00:00:57,960
Speaker 1: make that. Uh it's well, I try to make that

16
00:00:58,000 --> 00:01:00,400
Speaker 1: as much as possible. It doesn't matter if you had

17
00:01:00,440 --> 00:01:02,520
Speaker 1: a good day on the field, bad day on the field,

18
00:01:03,080 --> 00:01:07,800
Speaker 1: bad day at home. When you cross that threshold them doors, UH,

19
00:01:08,040 --> 00:01:10,679
Speaker 1: that's somewhere you want to be. And uh, you know,

20
00:01:11,000 --> 00:01:13,560
Speaker 1: if you need us somebody to talk to, or if

21
00:01:13,600 --> 00:01:16,399
Speaker 1: you just need to listen to some music and buye Uh,

22
00:01:16,760 --> 00:01:24,720
Speaker 1: that's what we have in there. Faces New team come

23
00:01:24,760 --> 00:01:30,759
Speaker 1: together or justice. I don't know. I wasn't here before,

24
00:01:30,920 --> 00:01:34,400
Speaker 1: but communication is key for any defense. We want to

25
00:01:34,440 --> 00:01:36,840
Speaker 1: be loud and uh, we want to make sure we

26
00:01:36,920 --> 00:01:39,480
Speaker 1: all on one a court. I think that's how you

27
00:01:39,560 --> 00:01:42,280
Speaker 1: have good defenses, and that's how you uh don't make

28
00:01:42,319 --> 00:01:45,720
Speaker 1: mistakes and you don't have ms and uh. You know,

29
00:01:46,000 --> 00:01:49,160
Speaker 1: if ten people uh it's right out there and one

30
00:01:49,280 --> 00:01:52,520
Speaker 1: is wrong, Uh, it can lead to big plays. And

31
00:01:52,600 --> 00:01:54,480
Speaker 1: we don't want to give up a big play. So

32
00:01:54,720 --> 00:01:56,800
Speaker 1: as long as we all on one a court and

33
00:01:56,880 --> 00:01:59,120
Speaker 1: we're all talking and we all speak in the same

34
00:01:59,200 --> 00:02:06,280
Speaker 1: language there on the field, we'll be all right. Yeah,

35
00:02:06,560 --> 00:02:10,320
Speaker 1: I've never done it before. I mean, besides coming from

36
00:02:10,600 --> 00:02:13,320
Speaker 1: uh college to the pros. Uh, you know, I was

37
00:02:13,360 --> 00:02:17,360
Speaker 1: in one organization for the longest and the communication pretty

38
00:02:17,440 --> 00:02:19,640
Speaker 1: much stayed the same from my rookie year to my

39
00:02:19,720 --> 00:02:22,880
Speaker 1: last until I got here, and uh, now it's new

40
00:02:23,120 --> 00:02:25,320
Speaker 1: and it's different people I got to talk to. I

41
00:02:25,360 --> 00:02:28,880
Speaker 1: don't know that playbook ends and out, but it's it's

42
00:02:28,919 --> 00:02:31,360
Speaker 1: different people in there. I lean on for that because

43
00:02:31,360 --> 00:02:34,680
Speaker 1: they've been here for so long. What's the challenge of

44
00:02:35,080 --> 00:02:38,200
Speaker 1: the RPS Miami. I mean, like a lot of teams

45
00:02:38,200 --> 00:02:40,960
Speaker 1: favor in Miami in particular. I know, guys yesterday we're

46
00:02:41,000 --> 00:02:43,080
Speaker 1: talking about McCarthy saying like, hey, you made all the

47
00:02:43,120 --> 00:02:45,840
Speaker 1: right decisions against us last year. What's the sort of

48
00:02:45,919 --> 00:02:47,520
Speaker 1: challenge and what sort of buying does it put you

49
00:02:47,560 --> 00:02:50,840
Speaker 1: in the outside? You you just gotta play a keys

50
00:02:51,160 --> 00:02:56,280
Speaker 1: uh in our urpo system and somebody like tour uh

51
00:02:56,639 --> 00:02:58,880
Speaker 1: and just offense like that. You had to play what

52
00:02:58,960 --> 00:03:03,840
Speaker 1: you see. Uh, And from the center to the right side,

53
00:03:03,919 --> 00:03:05,480
Speaker 1: to center to the left side, you might see a

54
00:03:05,480 --> 00:03:08,680
Speaker 1: whole different play. You know, this side might be getting stretched,

55
00:03:08,760 --> 00:03:12,760
Speaker 1: This might side might be getting slants or a seven

56
00:03:12,840 --> 00:03:15,480
Speaker 1: routes or or anything. So you just gotta play what

57
00:03:15,560 --> 00:03:19,359
Speaker 1: you see and uh, you know, uh hopefully try to

58
00:03:19,440 --> 00:03:21,880
Speaker 1: remember what you see and so you can come to

59
00:03:21,919 --> 00:03:26,520
Speaker 1: the sideline and communicate that between the defense. But it's challenging.

60
00:03:26,560 --> 00:03:29,280
Speaker 1: They have a challenging offense. Uh. They have a really

61
00:03:29,320 --> 00:03:33,840
Speaker 1: good quarterback, young developing quarterback, and I think he's jelling

62
00:03:33,960 --> 00:03:36,960
Speaker 1: and he's making his team better. So well, we we

63
00:03:37,080 --> 00:03:40,680
Speaker 1: don't have our handsful. It seems like you can fit

64
00:03:40,720 --> 00:03:43,920
Speaker 1: in really well. You're an acclimated to this. What's what's

65
00:03:43,960 --> 00:03:48,720
Speaker 1: it about the matrices. I think, Uh, it's not me,

66
00:03:48,800 --> 00:03:51,720
Speaker 1: it's them, honestly, Uh. You know you hear that, and

67
00:03:52,120 --> 00:03:55,560
Speaker 1: it's kind of like a BS statement, right, Uh, but

68
00:03:56,200 --> 00:03:59,560
Speaker 1: I really haven't changed anything, got done, uh since I've

69
00:03:59,560 --> 00:04:02,360
Speaker 1: been in the uh and you know, I come in,

70
00:04:03,200 --> 00:04:08,320
Speaker 1: play music, you know, talk trash. Uh. You know I'm loud,

71
00:04:09,520 --> 00:04:13,360
Speaker 1: and I believe they all just accepted. They all was like,

72
00:04:13,400 --> 00:04:15,520
Speaker 1: all right, this is who this guy is, and this

73
00:04:15,680 --> 00:04:17,640
Speaker 1: is how he's been and since he's been in the league.

74
00:04:17,760 --> 00:04:19,840
Speaker 1: And they kind of asked LG because LG was there

75
00:04:19,839 --> 00:04:24,320
Speaker 1: when I was younger, UHR and Carl Davis. They'd be like, uh,

76
00:04:24,640 --> 00:04:27,680
Speaker 1: is this who like has he changed since he got money?

77
00:04:27,760 --> 00:04:34,320
Speaker 1: And it's always it's always no, It's always no. I think. Uh. Actually,

78
00:04:34,400 --> 00:04:38,680
Speaker 1: Coach Culin uh taught me here. He was a coach.

79
00:04:38,720 --> 00:04:41,640
Speaker 1: Culin was as loud and obnoxious, but he was that

80
00:04:41,680 --> 00:04:45,000
Speaker 1: person every day. You got the same person from him

81
00:04:45,040 --> 00:04:46,920
Speaker 1: every day. So I don't want to come in here

82
00:04:47,000 --> 00:04:49,440
Speaker 1: and one day and I be high, one day I

83
00:04:49,560 --> 00:04:52,800
Speaker 1: be low. I come in you know, I don't live

84
00:04:52,800 --> 00:04:54,880
Speaker 1: in the valleys, don't live in the mountain top. I

85
00:04:55,000 --> 00:04:58,680
Speaker 1: try to stay consistent through the whole time I've been here,

86
00:04:58,800 --> 00:05:01,920
Speaker 1: and they really just accepted it. And you know, they

87
00:05:02,000 --> 00:05:05,240
Speaker 1: just brought me along, taught me their defense and uh

88
00:05:05,680 --> 00:05:07,880
Speaker 1: allowing me to go out there and make plays. How

89
00:05:07,880 --> 00:05:09,440
Speaker 1: long did it take to feel that way? Man? Did

90
00:05:09,480 --> 00:05:11,039
Speaker 1: you come in to day want to just crank the

91

Speaker 1: really care about me, care about the week. The longest

112
00:06:12,400 --> 00:06:16,000
Speaker 1: we're winning games and we're in the right mindset. That's

Speaker 1: you know everybody has you know, they really be hating

117
00:06:31,560 --> 00:06:33,000
Speaker 1: on the West Coast. We don't got a lot of

118
00:06:33,000 --> 00:06:34,720
Speaker 1: West Coasters on this team. They be hating on the

119
00:06:34,760 --> 00:06:37,680
Speaker 1: West Coast music and the detruck music. But you know,

120
00:06:37,720 --> 00:06:43,920
Speaker 1: I still be rent. Yeah, he was in therea yesterday

121
00:06:43,960 --> 00:06:48,839
Speaker 1: afternoon planning. Yeah, we just talked to Dante and Patriots

122
00:06:48,839 --> 00:06:52,640
Speaker 1: obviously have a history of bigger linebackers like yourself, and

123
00:06:52,680 --> 00:06:55,680
Speaker 1: I'm just wondering if you talk to any of those

124
00:06:55,680 --> 00:06:57,760
Speaker 1: guys like a William mc ginnis or watch any of

125
00:06:57,760 --> 00:07:01,839
Speaker 1: those guys kind of learn the defense. Well, I mean

126
00:07:01,880 --> 00:07:06,360
Speaker 1: it's just a different game from Willen Willie played, so uh,

127
00:07:07,040 --> 00:07:10,800
Speaker 1: I have talked to him just about physicality and about

128
00:07:10,920 --> 00:07:14,920
Speaker 1: how to be in this organization, but not too much

129
00:07:14,960 --> 00:07:17,720
Speaker 1: about defense and schemes. You know, he a media guy too,

130
00:07:17,760 --> 00:07:20,680
Speaker 1: so you can't be telling him too much. But uh,

131
00:07:21,440 --> 00:07:24,720
Speaker 1: I do, I do talk to him about that stuff.

132
00:07:24,760 --> 00:07:28,480
Speaker 1: But I mean, really, Uh, I've been leaning on them

133
00:07:28,760 --> 00:07:31,800
Speaker 1: guys in the locker room. Uh. They played a lot

134
00:07:31,840 --> 00:07:35,880
Speaker 1: of meaningful games around here. Uh. And you know it's

135
00:07:36,560 --> 00:07:39,640
Speaker 1: we got teen year vets that's been on the same team,

136
00:07:40,040 --> 00:07:44,400
Speaker 1: you know, so uh that that has helped me a lot. Man,

137
00:07:44,480 --> 00:07:47,040
Speaker 1: how do you think America is fitting in? And can

138
00:07:47,080 --> 00:07:49,920
Speaker 1: he give you any information about too or having both

139
00:07:49,960 --> 00:07:56,160
Speaker 1: been the same thing? Uh? Now I think Uh, I think, well,

140
00:07:56,160 --> 00:07:59,640
Speaker 1: I personally haven't even asked him about tour. Uh. Mac

141
00:07:59,760 --> 00:08:03,000
Speaker 1: had that's a lot on his plate right now and

142
00:08:03,280 --> 00:08:06,720
Speaker 1: he has to run our offense, and so he's been

143
00:08:07,120 --> 00:08:11,840
Speaker 1: looking pretty good. And I'm gonna leave that to uh

144
00:08:11,880 --> 00:08:16,200
Speaker 1: coach Mickey d and then coach Belichick because you know

145
00:08:16,240 --> 00:08:19,720
Speaker 1: that's a job. I have no clue what Max reeds are,

146
00:08:20,160 --> 00:08:22,080
Speaker 1: what he's supposed to be doing, if he's supposed to

147
00:08:22,120 --> 00:08:23,880
Speaker 1: be checking in and out of place, I don't know.

148
00:08:24,520 --> 00:08:29,080
Speaker 1: I'm not really learning our defense so h but I

149
00:08:29,160 --> 00:08:33,360
Speaker 1: mean from what I've seen, you know, I think he's

150
00:08:33,400 --> 00:08:38,959
Speaker 1: a really good for you learning a Belichick directed defense.

151
00:08:38,960 --> 00:08:40,800
Speaker 1: I mean, has this been a big adjustment for a

152
00:08:40,800 --> 00:08:45,160
Speaker 1: match you done? Seaball get ball? Seaball get ball? You know. Uh,

153
00:08:45,440 --> 00:08:48,920
Speaker 1: you know, like like I said earlier, everybody has to

154
00:08:48,960 --> 00:08:51,760
Speaker 1: be on one accord. But when it comes down to it,

155
00:08:52,040 --> 00:08:54,240
Speaker 1: make the play. When you look out now when you

156
00:08:54,240 --> 00:08:57,840
Speaker 1: were on what were your impressions of content from Afar,

Speaker 1: few months being team uh So honestly, Uh, he played

160
00:09:06,800 --> 00:09:10,000
Speaker 1: kind of off the ball a lot more so you know,

161
00:09:10,080 --> 00:09:12,840
Speaker 1: I was like, you know, I don't really know too

163
00:09:16,320 --> 00:09:19,480

164
00:09:19,520 --> 00:09:24,079
Speaker 1: got here, uh and got to watch him, I understood

165
00:09:24,120 --> 00:09:27,880
Speaker 1: how physical he was, uh in a run game in

166
00:09:27,960 --> 00:09:31,480
Speaker 1: a past game and everything he does and how physical

167
00:09:31,600 --> 00:09:35,719
Speaker 1: he is and how smart he is. Uh. He diagnosis

168
00:09:35,760 --> 00:09:40,199
Speaker 1: plays plays really fast and you know, probably because he's

169
00:09:40,200 --> 00:09:42,160
Speaker 1: seen it so many plays. Like I said, he played

170
00:09:42,160 --> 00:09:44,560
Speaker 1: in a lot of big games where he made a

171
00:09:44,640 --> 00:09:48,760
Speaker 1: lot of big plays and so uh he diagnosis play

172
00:09:48,880 --> 00:09:53,360
Speaker 1: of plays instantly like that without you know, some people

173
00:09:53,440 --> 00:09:55,520
Speaker 1: need to take rest that. Some people need to like

174
00:09:55,600 --> 00:09:58,760
Speaker 1: see here to hear like here, he's already done it

175
00:09:58,800 --> 00:10:00,960
Speaker 1: and he's already in this drop or he's already in

176
00:10:01,040 --> 00:10:05,679
Speaker 1: his fit and so uh, just being here with him,

177
00:10:06,000 --> 00:10:08,720
Speaker 1: understanding how smart of a player he is and just

178
00:10:08,840 --> 00:10:12,280
Speaker 1: how physical and the tenacity he plays the game with.

179
00:10:12,559 --> 00:10:14,400
