Speaker 1: of guys. All right, so this came down here for

17
00:00:47,000 --> 00:00:50,240
Speaker 1: the interview kind of we're gonna come with this aggressive

18
00:00:50,240 --> 00:00:52,960
Speaker 1: style up front. I think it is a tree against

19
00:00:53,040 --> 00:00:55,520
Speaker 1: everybody coming from that tree to We did it in

20
00:00:55,560 --> 00:00:58,319
Speaker 1: Philadelphia when I was there for two years, and did

21
00:00:58,320 --> 00:01:00,400
Speaker 1: it with the Jets. We're talking about the hacking and

22
00:01:00,520 --> 00:01:03,120
Speaker 1: coming off the ball, and that comes up with that opportunity.

23
00:01:03,240 --> 00:01:05,840
Speaker 1: What did you learn in your time coaching some of

24
00:01:05,840 --> 00:01:09,040
Speaker 1: those players, like you know, a Fletcher Cox, a Brandon Graham,

25
00:01:09,160 --> 00:01:12,319
Speaker 1: about your own coaching style and your own way to

26
00:01:12,520 --> 00:01:15,679
Speaker 1: kind of you know, coach up that aggressive mindset. The

27
00:01:15,680 --> 00:01:18,080
Speaker 1: first thing that starts off is just being coaching those

28
00:01:18,080 --> 00:01:21,360
Speaker 1: guys is about relationships, all right, kind of relationships and

29
00:01:21,400 --> 00:01:24,360
Speaker 1: getting to know those guys, getting to know the wive's name,

30
00:01:24,760 --> 00:01:27,360
Speaker 1: getting to know the kid's name, and building that relationship

31
00:01:27,440 --> 00:01:29,360
Speaker 1: in that trust for them to just get to know me.

32
00:01:29,800 --> 00:01:31,840
Speaker 1: And after that, all right, once they get to know

33
00:01:31,920 --> 00:01:34,080
Speaker 1: you and they know that you trust them and they

34
00:01:34,080 --> 00:01:35,920
Speaker 1: care for you, you could you could tell them man

35
00:01:35,959 --> 00:01:38,320
Speaker 1: I cut off that we talk about the mentality that

36
00:01:38,360 --> 00:01:40,360
Speaker 1: we want to play with. Open that door and you

37
00:01:40,400 --> 00:01:42,679
Speaker 1: gotta be willing to run through a dark room and

38
00:01:42,760 --> 00:01:45,360
Speaker 1: come off with that attack and aggressive style mindset. And

39
00:01:45,360 --> 00:01:47,160
Speaker 1: it all starts with the first was just building that

40
00:01:47,240 --> 00:01:50,320
Speaker 1: relationship and trust. All right. So you played at ball State,

41
00:01:50,760 --> 00:01:53,800
Speaker 1: then you go to Tennessee Eastern Kentucky, then you make

42
00:01:53,800 --> 00:01:56,520
Speaker 1: the jump to the NFL. How did your time in

43
00:01:56,600 --> 00:02:00,600
Speaker 1: college prepare you for the Jets, the Eagle and now

44
00:02:00,640 --> 00:02:02,920
Speaker 1: this moved to Indianapolis. How beneficial was that for you?

45
00:02:02,960 --> 00:02:06,080
Speaker 1: It was very beneficial, especially starting off at the University

46
00:02:06,080 --> 00:02:09,680
Speaker 1: of Tennessee, Uh, coach, Like, I got a couple of

47
00:02:09,680 --> 00:02:11,760
Speaker 1: guys that's in the league from that. From that for

48
00:02:11,880 --> 00:02:13,400
Speaker 1: me being in there for three years, we got like

49
00:02:13,440 --> 00:02:17,600
Speaker 1: Darrell Taylor coached them, Derek Barnett, Khalil Mackenzie, Shot Tuttle,

50
00:02:17,720 --> 00:02:19,480
Speaker 1: just a couple of guys that played in the NFL.

51
00:02:19,840 --> 00:02:22,480
Speaker 1: And just being in that SEC, right we college about SEC,

52
00:02:22,560 --> 00:02:25,480
Speaker 1: it's like the pinnacle of you see him doing a coach,

53
00:02:25,520 --> 00:02:28,040
Speaker 1: like the pinnacle of college football as we talk about it,

54
00:02:28,040 --> 00:02:30,480
Speaker 1: and just being able to coach those guys and it

55
00:02:30,480 --> 00:02:34,120
Speaker 1: actually was pretty good, uh like the last so it

56
00:02:34,160 --> 00:02:36,280
Speaker 1: was kind of it kind of sucked because Bush Jones

57
00:02:36,320 --> 00:02:42,280
Speaker 1: got fired, okay, and then Brady Hoke became the interim coach,

58
00:02:42,480 --> 00:02:44,639
Speaker 1: and then Brady Hope was was good like what's it's

59
00:02:45,120 --> 00:02:47,000
Speaker 1: what you call like bitter sweet or kind of sucked

60
00:02:47,000 --> 00:02:48,400
Speaker 1: a little bit, But I was able to be the

61
00:02:48,520 --> 00:02:51,120
Speaker 1: NMD line coach for the past like two games, So

62
00:02:51,160 --> 00:02:53,079
Speaker 1: that was able for me to get a chance to

63
00:02:53,200 --> 00:02:55,520
Speaker 1: go in there and to run, you know, to run

64
00:02:55,639 --> 00:02:57,440
Speaker 1: my own room and to be with those guys. And

65
00:02:57,440 --> 00:02:59,280
Speaker 1: when we played pretty well and those guys plays hard,

66
00:02:59,639 --> 00:03:01,880
Speaker 1: what you learn, you know, just through that experience then

67
00:03:01,919 --> 00:03:05,480
Speaker 1: about commanding that room and how to you know, have

68
00:03:05,600 --> 00:03:08,120
Speaker 1: that presence as the guy who is leading that room.

69
00:03:08,840 --> 00:03:10,799
Speaker 1: Just learn Like that's basically what I kind of learned

70
00:03:10,840 --> 00:03:13,720
Speaker 1: from just having that trust and those guys is getting

71
00:03:13,720 --> 00:03:16,600
Speaker 1: to know you and build that relationship. Because when I

72
00:03:16,639 --> 00:03:19,280
Speaker 1: went to Issa, Kentucky, right, that was like the first

73
00:03:19,280 --> 00:03:22,200
Speaker 1: time off four time running the room. And I'll be honest,

74
00:03:22,240 --> 00:03:23,920
Speaker 1: what I learned from that I didn't. I didn't come

75
00:03:23,960 --> 00:03:26,680
Speaker 1: out and try to build trust uh in there Like

76
00:03:26,720 --> 00:03:29,000
Speaker 1: I came in and you know, like this is how

77
00:03:29,040 --> 00:03:31,760
Speaker 1: we're doing it. This is you know, you think about

78
00:03:31,800 --> 00:03:34,040
Speaker 1: this is the command in this presence. But now we're

79
00:03:34,040 --> 00:03:35,720
Speaker 1: in a new age. You know, we're in a new age.

80
00:03:35,720 --> 00:03:37,280
Speaker 1: I'm part of that new age. Like I'm still young,

81
00:03:37,280 --> 00:03:40,160
Speaker 1: I'm in that new age, and it's about building that

82
00:03:40,240 --> 00:03:42,560
Speaker 1: trust and having those guys know that you care for them,

83
00:03:42,560 --> 00:03:44,640
Speaker 1: you know. So I'm like, Okay, Nate, I know that's

84
00:03:44,640 --> 00:03:47,840
Speaker 1: how you got coach, right, growing up. But it's it's different, right,

85
00:03:48,640 --> 00:03:50,080
Speaker 1: Like I kind of just how to follow about a

86
00:03:50,120 --> 00:03:52,720
Speaker 1: golden rule? Right, just treat others the way you want

87
00:03:52,720 --> 00:03:54,840
Speaker 1: to be treated. Well, it's it's fascinating. I want to

88
00:03:54,880 --> 00:03:57,280
Speaker 1: pick up there because you talked about it a little bit.

89
00:03:57,360 --> 00:04:01,800
Speaker 1: But being from college and now two different stints in

90
00:04:01,840 --> 00:04:04,840
Speaker 1: the NFL. What can you do with the guy in

91
00:04:04,880 --> 00:04:06,960
Speaker 1: college that you can't do with the guy in the NFL.

92
00:04:07,040 --> 00:04:09,640
Speaker 1: How do you coach him differently? How do you compartmentalize

93
00:04:09,680 --> 00:04:12,080
Speaker 1: just the two different levels of football if you will?

94
00:04:12,560 --> 00:04:15,320
Speaker 1: That's interesting. So when I first got to the NFL,

95
00:04:15,360 --> 00:04:16,920
Speaker 1: I'm kind of giving a story, But when I first

96
00:04:16,920 --> 00:04:19,760
Speaker 1: got to the NFL, I was thinking, like, okay, Like

97
00:04:19,800 --> 00:04:23,760
Speaker 1: I'm like, I'm twenty I'm twenty seven, right, twenty seven,

98
00:04:23,800 --> 00:04:26,040
Speaker 1: twenty six? Like, man, how I'm a coach of Flex

99
00:04:26,080 --> 00:04:29,159
Speaker 1: your Cox, Brandon Graham, these guys are older than me. Right,

100
00:04:29,200 --> 00:04:31,359
Speaker 1: So then when I get up here, I get up

101
00:04:31,400 --> 00:04:35,360
Speaker 1: to the NFL, like it's no different, Like it's really

102
00:04:35,360 --> 00:04:39,039
Speaker 1: no different. You just you just build trust, right the

103
00:04:39,040 --> 00:04:40,919
Speaker 1: same times we just build trust. Get those guys know

104
00:04:41,000 --> 00:04:42,280
Speaker 1: you care for him, and you gotta know what you're

105
00:04:42,279 --> 00:04:45,440
Speaker 1: talking about. Too, right, they can trust you. They can

106
00:04:45,480 --> 00:04:47,000
Speaker 1: trust you, are they Well, if you don't know what

107
00:04:47,040 --> 00:04:48,800
Speaker 1: you're talking about, right, you're not gonna getting none out

108
00:04:48,800 --> 00:04:51,279
Speaker 1: of them. But you know, you build trust and and

109
00:04:51,360 --> 00:04:53,520
Speaker 1: that's how it all starts with man, just about relationships.

110
00:04:53,600 --> 00:04:57,320
Speaker 1: I'm real big on relationships and not fear because fear

111
00:04:57,480 --> 00:05:01,480
Speaker 1: is basically false evidence appearing real. Go, So this relationships

112
00:05:01,520 --> 00:05:04,039
Speaker 1: are not fair. Do you notice those guys want to

113
00:05:04,040 --> 00:05:07,400
Speaker 1: be coached. I mean you talked about the ones they're

114
00:05:07,440 --> 00:05:10,120
Speaker 1: great ones. You'll see they want to be coached. They

115
00:05:10,160 --> 00:05:12,080
Speaker 1: want you to coach them up. They want to get better.

116
00:05:12,120 --> 00:05:14,960
Speaker 1: They're gonna they're great ones are gonna come to your office, right,

117
00:05:15,000 --> 00:05:16,800
Speaker 1: They're gonna come to your office and say, coach, what

118
00:05:16,800 --> 00:05:18,360
Speaker 1: can I do better? You got an extra cut off

119
00:05:18,400 --> 00:05:20,039
Speaker 1: from me? You got that in there, Like, those are

120
00:05:20,120 --> 00:05:22,080
Speaker 1: the great ones really want to do be coached. And

121
00:05:22,080 --> 00:05:26,039
Speaker 1: then the ones that don't, right, they're not great, right,

122
00:05:26,080 --> 00:05:27,480
Speaker 1: those are the ones that you say something to them,

123
00:05:27,520 --> 00:05:29,960
Speaker 1: they kind of mope and they moan. Right, you can

124
00:05:29,960 --> 00:05:31,279
Speaker 1: tell those guys don't want to be great, but you

125
00:05:31,279 --> 00:05:33,680
Speaker 1: still push them. You bring them along, you know, and

126
00:05:33,760 --> 00:05:35,279
Speaker 1: you try to get the best out of them. What

127
00:05:35,360 --> 00:05:37,400
Speaker 1: about like coaching hard? I mean, you got to keep

128
00:05:37,400 --> 00:05:39,920
Speaker 1: it real with these guys. When when you're coaching an

129
00:05:39,920 --> 00:05:43,520
Speaker 1: all pro, a pro bowler, a first round pick, you

130
00:05:43,520 --> 00:05:45,960
Speaker 1: know you've coached all those guys. When you coach them hard,

131
00:05:46,240 --> 00:05:47,799
Speaker 1: you gotta be able to keep it real but also

132
00:05:48,480 --> 00:05:51,279
Speaker 1: be firm. Like how do you go about that? Yeah?

133
00:05:51,360 --> 00:05:54,600
Speaker 1: So basically like you you start off right, you start

134
00:05:54,640 --> 00:05:58,320
Speaker 1: off and you have you gotta have great energy, you know,

135
00:05:58,440 --> 00:06:02,000
Speaker 1: and jews, right, great energy jews. And when I say,

136
00:06:02,080 --> 00:06:03,720
Speaker 1: like you can always all these guys want to get

137
00:06:03,760 --> 00:06:05,799
Speaker 1: coach hard. When when I say, like, you're correcting guys

138
00:06:06,160 --> 00:06:07,919
Speaker 1: and you're doing that, and they want to get coached like,

139
00:06:07,960 --> 00:06:10,600
Speaker 1: that's that's coaching hard, right, I say, sometimes we think

140
00:06:10,600 --> 00:06:14,159
Speaker 1: of coaching hard as somebody's yelling and and really like

141
00:06:14,200 --> 00:06:17,000
Speaker 1: cussing somebody out, And that's not that's not like my style.

142
00:06:17,120 --> 00:06:18,680
Speaker 1: I'm gonna get on you, like if you do something wrong,

143
00:06:19,160 --> 00:06:22,440
Speaker 1: I'm gonna tell you doing wrong right now, I'm gonna

144
00:06:22,440 --> 00:06:24,720
Speaker 1: grab your face, mask in your face. No right, I'm not,

145
00:06:25,040 --> 00:06:26,960
Speaker 1: but I'm gonna let you know that you did something wrong.

146
00:06:26,960 --> 00:06:28,680
Speaker 1: And we want to all be if you want to

147
00:06:28,720 --> 00:06:30,920
Speaker 1: be great you want to be better, you allow yourself

148
00:06:30,920 --> 00:06:32,920
Speaker 1: to get coach. And that's part of like the coaching hard.

149
00:06:33,120 --> 00:06:35,000
Speaker 1: So you've got to you gotta range of players in

150
00:06:35,000 --> 00:06:37,320
Speaker 1: this room that you're coming into here in Indianapolis. He

151
00:06:37,320 --> 00:06:39,840
Speaker 1: got some first round picks, You got Quitty pay, you

152
00:06:39,920 --> 00:06:42,400
Speaker 1: got diod Dangbo. You know a rising talent. You got

153
00:06:42,400 --> 00:06:45,240
Speaker 1: to Forrest Buckner, a multi time pro bowler. What do

154
00:06:45,240 --> 00:06:47,159

170
00:07:25,600 --> 00:07:27,200
Speaker 1: We'll talk about how we're gonna play. We're gonna take

171
00:07:27,200 --> 00:07:29,520
Speaker 1: that seatbelt off. We're gonna have you taking the thinking

172
00:07:29,520 --> 00:07:32,000
Speaker 1: out and we are attacking. I'm a train on my

173
00:07:32,120 --> 00:07:34,240
Speaker 1: track and I'm ready to go. Like you get on

174
00:07:34,280 --> 00:07:37,400
Speaker 1: my track, You're getting messed up. So as you're saying this, Nate,

175
00:07:37,640 --> 00:07:39,760
Speaker 1: you know you coach with Robert Salo last year in

176
00:07:39,800 --> 00:07:43,000
Speaker 1: New York. Salo is a defensive coordinator, a DeForest Buckner

177
00:07:43,360 --> 00:07:46,360
Speaker 1: in San Francisco. Some of those same principles that Salo

178
00:07:46,480 --> 00:07:49,240
Speaker 1: brought to New York that have now kind of influenced you,

179
00:07:49,240 --> 00:07:52,920
Speaker 1: you're now bringing here to Indianapolis with DeForest Buckner. Um,

180
00:07:53,360 --> 00:07:54,800
Speaker 1: is that kind of where that you know, take the

181
00:07:54,800 --> 00:07:59,600
Speaker 1: seatbelt off mentality comes from? Yes, it really originated. Fuck

182
00:07:59,640 --> 00:08:01,640
Speaker 1: you to history behind it because it be like a

183
00:08:01,680 --> 00:08:04,520
Speaker 1: long story. I learned it when I first got to Philadelphia.

184
00:08:04,720 --> 00:08:08,840
Speaker 1: Right this the Jim shorts, like the Jim Washburn like

185
00:08:08,960 --> 00:08:11,920
Speaker 1: kind of vented like the front like Jim Washur event

186
00:08:11,960 --> 00:08:13,679
Speaker 1: at this front like kind of just taking your seatbelt

187
00:08:13,720 --> 00:08:15,920
Speaker 1: off and going an attack. Because I used to teach

188
00:08:16,080 --> 00:08:19,040
Speaker 1: like going up in college Tennessee, it's Kentucky just kind

189
00:08:19,080 --> 00:08:21,120
Speaker 1: of like a read let's kind of read staff and

190
00:08:21,120 --> 00:08:22,680
Speaker 1: you read with it, right kind of. Most of the

191
00:08:22,800 --> 00:08:25,480
Speaker 1: NFL is like just catching and read him. And then

192
00:08:25,480 --> 00:08:27,840
Speaker 1: when I got to the NFL, and when I got

193
00:08:27,880 --> 00:08:31,640
Speaker 1: to Philadelphia, right, that's what I'm like, WHOA Like, I

194
00:08:31,640 --> 00:08:34,080
Speaker 1: don't want to teach this any other way. You're telling

195
00:08:34,120 --> 00:08:35,760
Speaker 1: me I could just let these big boys go off

196
00:08:35,800 --> 00:08:39,200
Speaker 1: and go right. That's like, man, that's let's go. Like

197
00:08:39,320 --> 00:08:41,360
Speaker 1: that's when I learned that. So I was there for

198
00:08:41,360 --> 00:08:44,080
Speaker 1: two years and that's what helped me get to the

199
00:08:44,280 --> 00:08:46,400
Speaker 1: to the Jets. Okay, we got this young guy that's

200
00:08:46,679 --> 00:08:49,520
Speaker 1: not the system. He knows attacked boom, Right, let's go.

201
00:08:49,600 --> 00:08:52,680
Speaker 1: Because everybody's like they're intrigued with it, but sometimes everybody

202
00:08:52,720 --> 00:08:54,760
Speaker 1: don't want to be full committed to it because it

203
00:08:54,920 --> 00:08:57,320
Speaker 1: is different. You are telling this guy to go. He's

204
00:08:57,320 --> 00:08:59,319
Speaker 1: on his line and he's attacking. And that's why I'm

205
00:08:59,320 --> 00:09:01,199
Speaker 1: happy just to be or with gusts like Gus, we said,

206
00:09:01,200 --> 00:09:03,079
Speaker 1: we committed to it. You're gonna be in a nah,

207
00:09:03,360 --> 00:09:05,280
Speaker 1: we're gonna attack and we're gonna go, and it's really

208
00:09:05,280 --> 00:09:08,320
Speaker 1: excited about it. That's Nate Olie. He's the defensive line

209
00:09:08,400 --> 00:09:11,360
Speaker 1: coach for the Indianapolis Cults. Spending some time with us

210
00:09:11,760 --> 00:09:14,160
Speaker 1: and JJ brought up the young guys the Colts have

211
00:09:14,440 --> 00:09:17,840
Speaker 1: in your unit, uh Quitty pay and Diodengbo and coach.

212
00:09:17,880 --> 00:09:20,320
Speaker 1: They always say it takes a year or two, you know,

213
00:09:20,360 --> 00:09:22,400
Speaker 1: for the light bulb to go off for young pass

214
00:09:22,480 --> 00:09:24,600
Speaker 1: rushers in the NFL as they make that big jump

215
00:09:24,679 --> 00:09:28,200
Speaker 1: from from college football to the NFL. Why is that

216
00:09:28,280 --> 00:09:31,120
Speaker 1: position group like that? Well, why why does it take

217
00:09:31,360 --> 00:09:33,480
Speaker 1: a year or two for guys to really kind of

218
00:09:33,480 --> 00:09:35,400
Speaker 1: come into their own so to speak, Because it's just

219
00:09:36,320 --> 00:09:39,480
Speaker 1: like this is different, like taking that jump, just basically

220
00:09:39,559 --> 00:09:42,440
Speaker 1: learning just to be a pass rusher. Pass rushers like

221
00:09:42,520 --> 00:09:45,280
Speaker 1: us Art, it's a form. You have to break it down,

222
00:09:45,320 --> 00:09:47,760
Speaker 1: you have to teach it, and just that's why some

223
00:09:47,800 --> 00:09:49,719
Speaker 1: guys just takes longer. Right then some of the game

224
00:09:49,800 --> 00:09:52,080
Speaker 1: speed like this speeds up for guys and you're just

225
00:09:52,120 --> 00:09:54,080
Speaker 1: kind of just getting adjusted and to getting used to it,

226
00:09:54,200 --> 00:09:56,480
Speaker 1: just learning what what's your move? Because sometimes like you

227
00:09:56,480 --> 00:09:59,199
Speaker 1: could get around the lesser athletes and you just you

228
00:09:59,320 --> 00:10:01,240
Speaker 1: just you speed, right, I was just going out bad.

229
00:10:01,240 --> 00:10:03,319
Speaker 1: I'm just faster. I can use speeding. I was like, Okay,

230
00:10:03,679 --> 00:10:05,600
Speaker 1: now I gotta be able to use my hands right now.

231
00:10:05,640 --> 00:10:07,600
Speaker 1: I gotta be able to do my steps right now.

232
00:10:07,640 --> 00:10:10,400
Speaker 1: I have to play a chess match to set up

233
00:10:10,440 --> 00:10:12,920
Speaker 1: my moves. So that's what it comes to with the

234
00:10:13,040 --> 00:10:15,480
Speaker 1: guys just learning that. So, Nate, you're joining a team

235
00:10:15,480 --> 00:10:17,439
Speaker 1: that's got quite a history of pass rushers. You know,

236
00:10:17,520 --> 00:10:19,800
Speaker 1: Robert Mathis is a Hall of Fame semi finalists. Here,

237
00:10:19,880 --> 00:10:21,760
Speaker 1: Dwight Freeney is going to be on the ballot next here.

238
00:10:21,800 --> 00:10:24,360
Speaker 1: Those are, you know, two of the big dudes here.

239
00:10:25,200 --> 00:10:27,160
Speaker 1: What do you know about the history of the pass

240
00:10:27,280 --> 00:10:30,240
Speaker 1: rush here in Indianapolis and some of the success that

241
00:10:30,320 --> 00:10:33,720
Speaker 1: this organization has had at that position. Man is growing

242
00:10:33,840 --> 00:10:36,160
Speaker 1: up with the coasts, and you think of the defensive

243
00:10:36,160 --> 00:10:38,400
Speaker 1: line with the coast, like, those are two names that

244
00:10:38,440 --> 00:10:41,840
Speaker 1: come to mind, right, those guys, no doubt right in

245
00:10:41,880 --> 00:10:43,280
Speaker 1: our minds. And here these guys are going to be

246
00:10:43,320 --> 00:10:46,760
Speaker 1: in the Hall of Fame. Just the rush just come

247
00:10:46,840 --> 00:10:49,760
Speaker 1: like the white frenie with the killer spin move right

248
00:10:49,800 --> 00:10:52,280
Speaker 1: with the speed and the juice coming off the edge.

249
00:10:52,280 --> 00:10:54,240
Speaker 1: You talk about like speed and juice coming off the edge.

250
00:10:54,920 --> 00:10:56,760
Speaker 1: You think of those two guys, right, and you talk

251
00:10:56,800 --> 00:10:59,400
Speaker 1: about the NFL like Robert Mathis and de White Freny,

252
00:10:59,559 --> 00:11:01,920
Speaker 1: and you just excited. Man, Just excited to just be

253
00:11:01,960 --> 00:11:04,559
Speaker 1: a part of this organization. To see the value that

254
00:11:04,679 --> 00:11:07,520
Speaker 1: this organization have in the defensive line and having that

255
00:11:07,640 --> 00:11:11,000
Speaker 1: history with Dewright, Freny and Robert Matthis man excites me.

256
00:11:11,360 --> 00:11:12,480
Speaker 1: You talk about it. I want to go back to

257
00:11:12,520 --> 00:11:15,280
Speaker 1: the relationship conversation we were having earlier. I mean again,

258
00:11:15,880 --> 00:11:18,040
Speaker 1: you talked about this. You're a young guy. You're you're

259
00:11:18,120 --> 00:11:21,120
Speaker 1: thirty years old, and here you are the defensive line

260
00:11:21,120 --> 00:11:23,600
Speaker 1: coach for an NFL team. How do you think that

261
00:11:23,640 --> 00:11:27,000
Speaker 1: translates with just relating to players, you know, just being

262
00:11:27,040 --> 00:11:30,120
Speaker 1: on the same level as them and being able to communicate.

263
00:11:30,440 --> 00:11:34,040
Speaker 1: You know, they're dealing with things like social media and

264
00:11:34,480 --> 00:11:37,560
Speaker 1: pressure from fans and things like that that maybe an

265
00:11:37,559 --> 00:11:41,480
Speaker 1: older coach couldn't sympathize with. But you get it. Considering

266
00:11:41,520 --> 00:11:43,520
Speaker 1: you are a younger guy, how do you think that

267
00:11:43,640 --> 00:11:46,800
Speaker 1: helps you communicate weekend and week out in the NFL?

268
00:11:47,400 --> 00:11:49,920
Speaker 1: Helps me, It helps out a lot because you kind

269
00:11:49,920 --> 00:11:52,920
Speaker 1: of just know these guys going through a lot more

270
00:11:53,400 --> 00:11:56,520
Speaker 1: than just football. Like you kind of mentioned like social media,

271
00:11:56,880 --> 00:11:59,960
Speaker 1: people back home, all these other things that these guys

272
00:12:00,040 --> 00:12:03,920
Speaker 1: dealing with sometimes mental health. Yeah, and those things those

273
00:12:03,920 --> 00:12:06,160
Speaker 1: guys dealing with. You just you know, I just a

274
00:12:06,160 --> 00:12:07,760
Speaker 1: lot of us, not just me, a lot of people

275
00:12:07,800 --> 00:12:10,920
Speaker 1: just understand they're dealing with more than this football. Like

276
00:12:10,960 --> 00:12:14,000
Speaker 1: it's more to life than football, and it's helping those

277
00:12:14,040 --> 00:12:16,480
Speaker 1: guys out and it's giving you know, come down sitting lunch, like, man,
