1
00:00:02,360 --> 00:00:10,560
Speaker 1: How are you going to start by asking her thoughts

2
00:00:10,560 --> 00:00:14,400
Speaker 1: about going up against the quarterback like Murray continually see

3
00:00:14,560 --> 00:00:18,000
Speaker 1: noble quarterbacks. How is he's solar? How is it different

4
00:00:18,040 --> 00:00:19,640
Speaker 1: from the guys he faced to day? How does it

5
00:00:19,680 --> 00:00:23,160
Speaker 1: the fact that you do Murray's a great quarterback, very athletic,

6
00:00:23,400 --> 00:00:26,200
Speaker 1: um quick, and you know he has a great arm

7
00:00:26,239 --> 00:00:27,760
Speaker 1: as well, so you know he has a lot of

8
00:00:27,760 --> 00:00:30,680
Speaker 1: tools in his toolbox, you know, make him a successful quarterback.

9
00:00:30,720 --> 00:00:32,760
Speaker 1: And uh, you know comes down to us just doing

10
00:00:32,760 --> 00:00:35,120
Speaker 1: our job and doing our one eleven and executing. So

11
00:00:37,159 --> 00:00:39,239
Speaker 1: I'm just wondering he talks about going to Arizona and

12
00:00:39,240 --> 00:00:41,400
Speaker 1: then following that Vegas and getting a little break from

13
00:00:41,400 --> 00:00:43,080
Speaker 1: the cold. You look like you're kind You get your

14
00:00:43,080 --> 00:00:45,200
Speaker 1: hood on and your hat on. Is that a welcome

15
00:00:45,240 --> 00:00:47,120
Speaker 1: thing this time of year? And if you guys looking

16
00:00:47,120 --> 00:00:49,480
Speaker 1: to kind of get out there and go it's a game.

17
00:00:49,560 --> 00:00:52,440
Speaker 1: You know, you're not going out there for vacation, so um,

18
00:00:52,640 --> 00:00:54,280
Speaker 1: you know, going out there and trying to get the

Speaker 1: having fun on the field, and you know that's the fun.

22
00:01:01,480 --> 00:01:03,400
Speaker 1: That's the vacation for us going out there and playing

23
00:01:03,400 --> 00:01:06,800
Speaker 1: and executing doing our job. So, I mean, personally, that's

24
00:01:06,800 --> 00:01:08,760
Speaker 1: what I look forward to, is you know, getting out

25
00:01:08,760 --> 00:01:11,760
Speaker 1: there on the game field. So how much fun has

26
00:01:11,760 --> 00:01:13,679
Speaker 1: it been for you? Been real productive in the last

27
00:01:13,720 --> 00:01:16,480
Speaker 1: few games? Is that have been fun for you? Yeah?

28
00:01:16,560 --> 00:01:18,720
Speaker 1: Just being out there with the guys, you know, anytime

29
00:01:18,760 --> 00:01:20,440
Speaker 1: I could be out there on the field with my brothers,

30
00:01:20,520 --> 00:01:22,960
Speaker 1: just you know, striving for success, It's just a great

31
00:01:23,000 --> 00:01:26,240
Speaker 1: feeling for me. Um. And you know that's where I

32
00:01:26,280 --> 00:01:28,640
Speaker 1: find the most joyous, you know, looking to my right,

33
00:01:29,120 --> 00:01:31,560
Speaker 1: seeing Jude on or d Wise and you know, if

34
00:01:31,560 --> 00:01:34,080
Speaker 1: you got Quam back there, Bentley back there, and just

35
00:01:34,120 --> 00:01:36,160
Speaker 1: you know, celebrating with the guys, that's the most fun

36
00:01:36,280 --> 00:01:40,360
Speaker 1: for me. So I'm sorry, what do you thinks allowed

37
00:01:40,400 --> 00:01:43,280
Speaker 1: you to be so productive from a from a sack

38
00:01:43,360 --> 00:01:45,480
Speaker 1: perspective over these last coup again looking at seven in

39
00:01:45,520 --> 00:01:49,400
Speaker 1: your last five games? Uh, and just having fun, like

40
00:01:49,480 --> 00:01:52,520
Speaker 1: you know, going out there, um, treating each snap like

41
00:01:52,560 --> 00:01:55,720
Speaker 1: it's my last. I don't know how many opportunities I'm getting,

42
00:01:55,800 --> 00:01:58,960
Speaker 1: so I'm just you know, trying to maximize it, you know,

43
00:01:59,440 --> 00:02:01,360
Speaker 1: leave it all on the field. Each and every snap,

44
00:02:01,480 --> 00:02:04,880
Speaker 1: So you already back going back to the preseason. I

45
00:02:04,880 --> 00:02:07,800
Speaker 1: remember when you spoke to us maybe late July early August,

46
00:02:07,840 --> 00:02:10,640
Speaker 1: you talked about being a good place mentally and even

47
00:02:10,680 --> 00:02:13,880
Speaker 1: the importance of visualization in creasy. If you've been able

48
00:02:13,880 --> 00:02:16,720
Speaker 1: to maintain that, of course you said they have. You've

49
00:02:16,720 --> 00:02:20,639
Speaker 1: seen your own individual play kind of materialize the way

50
00:02:20,680 --> 00:02:23,079
Speaker 1: you had envisioned it. But the way you think about it,

51
00:02:23,240 --> 00:02:25,519
Speaker 1: I mean, definitely this off season, spent a lot of

52
00:02:25,560 --> 00:02:27,960
Speaker 1: time with my family and my girlfriend and you know,

53
00:02:28,040 --> 00:02:30,640
Speaker 1: people close in my circle, and I'm just you know,

54
00:02:30,840 --> 00:02:32,840
Speaker 1: strengthening that circle kind of helped me get through the

55
00:02:32,880 --> 00:02:35,320
Speaker 1: tough times this year. And you know, just having them

56
00:02:35,360 --> 00:02:37,480
Speaker 1: have faith in me and believing in me, you know,

57
00:02:37,600 --> 00:02:39,200
Speaker 1: kind of you know, boosting me as well. You know,

58
00:02:39,280 --> 00:02:41,320
Speaker 1: anytime I get down on myself or whatever, I had

59
00:02:41,680 --> 00:02:43,799
Speaker 1: have that support group to kind of uplift me. So,

60
00:02:44,320 --> 00:02:46,800
Speaker 1: you know, having those guys there, you know, my family,

61
00:02:46,880 --> 00:02:49,440
Speaker 1: my girl, and my friends is being there for me.

62
00:02:49,840 --> 00:02:51,720
Speaker 1: You know that that's made all the difference. And that's

63
00:02:51,720 --> 00:02:54,040
Speaker 1: really you know, that's kind of what everyone's seeing now.

64
00:02:54,160 --> 00:02:58,080
Speaker 1: So sometimes we think of health earlier about with regards

65
00:02:58,080 --> 00:03:01,679
Speaker 1: to availability all the field on game days. But Buil

66
00:03:01,720 --> 00:03:04,720
Speaker 1: said something the other day about your practicing and improving

67
00:03:04,720 --> 00:03:08,320
Speaker 1: and availability to do that. Is that the difference too

68
00:03:08,960 --> 00:03:11,440
Speaker 1: young in comparison to maybe the first couple of years

69
00:03:11,480 --> 00:03:14,200
Speaker 1: in the order. Um, definitely, just you know, coming in

70
00:03:14,240 --> 00:03:17,200
Speaker 1: this year and just learning how to be a professional

71
00:03:17,240 --> 00:03:18,960
Speaker 1: from guys like Jude On. You know, he's helped me

72
00:03:18,960 --> 00:03:21,160
Speaker 1: out of Ton, you know, like you know, the different

73
00:03:21,160 --> 00:03:22,880
Speaker 1: things he does to get ready for a game, I

74
00:03:23,000 --> 00:03:25,560
Speaker 1: kind of implemented into my game as well, and that,

75
00:03:25,720 --> 00:03:27,800
Speaker 1: you know, it's allowed me to kind of you know,

76
00:03:27,840 --> 00:03:30,400
Speaker 1: sustain you know, my time out there on the field,

77
00:03:30,400 --> 00:03:31,959
Speaker 1: you know, as well as working with you know, the

78
00:03:32,040 --> 00:03:34,320
Speaker 1: strength staff here, you know, my trainer and you know,

79
00:03:34,360 --> 00:03:36,240
Speaker 1: different people has allowed me to just stay out there

80
00:03:36,240 --> 00:03:38,720
Speaker 1: on the field and you know, just being out there,

81
00:03:39,080 --> 00:03:42,440
Speaker 1: you know, that's the hardest part. Availability is the best stability,

82
00:03:42,520 --> 00:03:44,880
Speaker 1: and that's kind of what you know, I've been trying

83
00:03:44,920 --> 00:03:48,000
Speaker 1: to do. So Bill and Jude and I both talked

84
00:03:48,000 --> 00:03:51,720
Speaker 1: about how you're the signal caller and those third down packages.

85
00:03:52,320 --> 00:03:55,120
Speaker 1: What goes into that process and is that a role

86
00:03:55,160 --> 00:03:58,520
Speaker 1: that you enjoyed? Um, It's definitely a role I respect

87
00:03:58,560 --> 00:04:01,440
Speaker 1: and I definitely, you know, do my best, you know,

88
00:04:01,480 --> 00:04:04,480
Speaker 1: to execute as best as I can. And it's a

89
00:04:04,520 --> 00:04:06,000
Speaker 1: lot of fun. You know, You've just you know, you're

90
00:04:06,000 --> 00:04:07,960
Speaker 1: out there with the guys and you know we're just talking,

91
00:04:08,000 --> 00:04:10,600
Speaker 1: communicating and truly a group effort as well. You know,

92
00:04:10,640 --> 00:04:12,760
Speaker 1: it's like, you know, all the guys are out there

93
00:04:12,760 --> 00:04:14,960
Speaker 1: and we're just communicating and getting the field of the game.

94
00:04:15,040 --> 00:04:18,120
Speaker 1: So I know, it's a little bit of history because

95
00:04:18,120 --> 00:04:20,480
Speaker 1: it's a couple of weeks ago now, but you got

96
00:04:20,480 --> 00:04:23,680
Speaker 1: a fellow linebacker who comes from Ohio State and you know,

97
00:04:24,279 --> 00:04:26,680
Speaker 1: I've seen another good year for the lower Rains. So

98
00:04:26,720 --> 00:04:28,719
Speaker 1: how much did you enjoy that was or anything on

99
00:04:28,800 --> 00:04:31,560
Speaker 1: the on the line there for internally in the locker

100
00:04:31,640 --> 00:04:37,120
Speaker 1: room something like that, something like that. But it's just

101
00:04:37,160 --> 00:04:38,960
Speaker 1: great to see the guys go out there and you know,

102
00:04:39,040 --> 00:04:41,080
Speaker 1: just do their thing. You know, they're going out there

103
00:04:41,160 --> 00:04:44,040
Speaker 1: leaving it all on the field. And uh, you know, definitely,

104
00:04:44,120 --> 00:04:47,400
Speaker 1: Michigan having success definitely boost my confidence as well, you know,

105
00:04:47,400 --> 00:04:49,919
Speaker 1: and just seeing other guys from Michigan around the league

106
00:04:49,920 --> 00:04:52,640
Speaker 1: have success as well. You know, it's definitely lets you know,

107
00:04:52,760 --> 00:04:54,400
Speaker 1: you know, you're coming from one of the best schools

108
00:04:54,400 --> 00:04:57,919
Speaker 1: in the nation, so you know, competition is just competition.

109
00:04:58,040 --> 00:05:04,520
Speaker 1: We look forward to that at Michigan stuff. Who says
