1 00:00:05,040 --> 00:00:08,000 Speaker 1: Um, you know, it really is more of a mindset 2 00:00:08,000 --> 00:00:10,880 Speaker 1: of getting better every day here. Um. You know, obviously 3 00:00:10,880 --> 00:00:15,600 Speaker 1: it's training camp. Everyone's battle battling for jobs, but it 4 00:00:15,640 --> 00:00:18,720 Speaker 1: doesn't take away from what we started, you know back 5 00:00:18,760 --> 00:00:22,639 Speaker 1: in OTAs. That mindset of competing and earning a job 6 00:00:23,400 --> 00:00:26,840 Speaker 1: still plays a big part in every day and we 7 00:00:26,960 --> 00:00:30,600 Speaker 1: suit up to go out to practice, we're challenging each other. Um, 8 00:00:30,840 --> 00:00:34,680 Speaker 1: knowing that you know, we're gonna be better players because 9 00:00:34,680 --> 00:00:37,559 Speaker 1: we're pushing each other. And whether it be here with 10 00:00:37,760 --> 00:00:42,280 Speaker 1: Patriots or with any other thirty one teams, we'll be 11 00:00:42,320 --> 00:00:46,200 Speaker 1: prepared for the season. Talking to some the defensive line, 12 00:00:46,720 --> 00:00:48,640 Speaker 1: I want to talk about firing your fans a little 13 00:00:48,680 --> 00:00:52,760 Speaker 1: bit early on people. Do you feel like that's another 14 00:00:52,800 --> 00:00:54,640 Speaker 1: thing you guys are from trying to emphasize a little 15 00:00:54,640 --> 00:00:59,520 Speaker 1: bit more. I mean, yeah, definitely. As as far as 16 00:00:59,560 --> 00:01:04,040 Speaker 1: playing into line, their hands are really important and it's 17 00:01:04,080 --> 00:01:07,080 Speaker 1: something that we try and emphasize every day. Can you 18 00:01:07,080 --> 00:01:09,360 Speaker 1: try to improve on every day? Do you feel like 19 00:01:09,840 --> 00:01:12,679 Speaker 1: now that you're five years into the league and then 20 00:01:12,720 --> 00:01:15,000 Speaker 1: you said to fill the chin a little bit of 21 00:01:15,080 --> 00:01:17,240 Speaker 1: pressure at meeting the first round pick, and now do 22 00:01:17,240 --> 00:01:18,759 Speaker 1: you feel like that's like behind you and you can 23 00:01:18,800 --> 00:01:21,800 Speaker 1: just kind of play and not worry about any of that, right, 24 00:01:21,920 --> 00:01:25,720 Speaker 1: I mean going into my fifth year, Um, you know 25 00:01:25,760 --> 00:01:29,800 Speaker 1: a lot of the things that younger guys think about 26 00:01:29,800 --> 00:01:33,440 Speaker 1: that first year or tacond year in the league. Um, 27 00:01:34,000 --> 00:01:37,280 Speaker 1: I've grown from and UM, you know, I'm blessed I 28 00:01:37,480 --> 00:01:39,280 Speaker 1: had this opportunity to go in to year five and 29 00:01:39,840 --> 00:01:43,000 Speaker 1: to just challenge myself to get better. And so that's 30 00:01:43,000 --> 00:01:45,600 Speaker 1: what I'm focusing on. So you guys have renumber players 31 00:01:45,600 --> 00:01:47,760 Speaker 1: along that defensive line and stuff. You're just talking about 32 00:01:47,800 --> 00:01:49,920 Speaker 1: that roles worry about early on that you're past if 33 00:01:49,960 --> 00:01:52,160 Speaker 1: you talk to those guys about that and maybe help 34 00:01:52,200 --> 00:01:55,760 Speaker 1: them try to get through that, right.

I 36 00:02:01,240 --> 00:02:03,840 Speaker 1: know many other positions to do it as well. It's 37 00:02:03,920 --> 00:02:06,240 Speaker 1: like a brotherhood that you build here. And Um, any 38 00:02:06,280 --> 00:02:09,040 Speaker 1: knowledge that you have you're gonna share with younger guys. 39 00:02:09,080 --> 00:02:11,720 Speaker 1: And you know, some older guys gained more knowledge from 40 00:02:12,200 --> 00:02:15,839 Speaker 1: younger guys and other older guys and UM, it's it's 41 00:02:15,840 --> 00:02:18,120 Speaker 1: really like I said, it's a brotherhood here.
