1
00:00:00,560 --> 00:00:03,320
Speaker 1: Ey guy's doing. You know, I've been cooking.

2
00:00:03,360 --> 00:00:03,520
Speaker 2: Man.

3
00:00:03,840 --> 00:00:11,600
Speaker 1: These restaurants getting expensive, Yeah, especially I don't know, man,

4
00:00:11,640 --> 00:00:13,080
Speaker 1: I just eat the live to be honest.

5
00:00:14,280 --> 00:00:17,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, how do you look back in your rookie year

6
00:00:18,200 --> 00:00:19,600
Speaker 2: about individually?

7
00:00:20,120 --> 00:00:21,479
Speaker 1: I feel like it was pretty good. I feel like

8
00:00:21,480 --> 00:00:23,000
Speaker 1: my rookie year, you know, I left a lot of

9
00:00:23,000 --> 00:00:25,240
Speaker 1: space to grow. It got better as time went on.

10
00:00:25,360 --> 00:00:28,920
Speaker 1: Continues to uh put the work in. So yeah, I'm

11
00:00:28,960 --> 00:00:30,480
Speaker 1: excited to excited for a second year.

12
00:00:30,520 --> 00:00:30,680
Speaker 2: Now.

13
00:00:30,760 --> 00:00:32,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, what are the some of the things you're looking

14
00:00:33,000 --> 00:00:34,680
Speaker 1: to get better at as far as your nig as

15
00:00:34,720 --> 00:00:38,280
Speaker 1: concerned as the passway, uh, getting sacks, finishing. You know,

16
00:00:38,280 --> 00:00:40,000
Speaker 1: it's a lot of times where I had good pass rushes,

17
00:00:40,000 --> 00:00:42,000
Speaker 1: but I didn't finish. You know, you start to realize,

18
00:00:42,040 --> 00:00:43,440
Speaker 1: like that other guy on the side the line pays

19
00:00:43,479 --> 00:00:45,840
Speaker 1: a lot of money, right, so, uh, they're not gonna

20
00:00:45,840 --> 00:00:47,879
Speaker 1: they not gonna let him get touched. So just continuing

21
00:00:47,920 --> 00:00:50,040
Speaker 1: to sharpen the end of my rush that that third

22
00:00:50,080 --> 00:00:52,880
Speaker 1: phase and make sure I start to you know, finish.

23
00:00:52,920 --> 00:00:55,080
Speaker 1: Did you did you that you kind of got your

24
00:00:55,120 --> 00:00:58,120
Speaker 1: book almost like what you get me snap last year?

25
00:00:58,120 --> 00:00:59,440
Speaker 2: Did you sit down on one point you're.

26
00:00:59,320 --> 00:01:02,040
Speaker 1: Gonna watching I did, I saw, I watched most of it.

27
00:01:02,040 --> 00:01:03,520
Speaker 1: I didn't watch the good plays. The good players are

28
00:01:03,560 --> 00:01:05,240
Speaker 1: kind of dead and go on now trying to trying

29
00:01:05,240 --> 00:01:07,160
Speaker 1: to figure out how I can eliminate as many bad

30
00:01:07,160 --> 00:01:08,920
Speaker 1: plays as possible. And I don't think there were any

31
00:01:08,959 --> 00:01:11,040
Speaker 1: bad plays. But you know, even like I said, the

32
00:01:11,080 --> 00:01:13,160
Speaker 1: rushes that I didn't finish, trying to figure out what

33
00:01:13,200 --> 00:01:13,959
Speaker 1: I could do to to.

34
00:01:13,880 --> 00:01:18,560
Speaker 3: Finish it sent you your off season, you know, saying that.

35
00:01:18,640 --> 00:01:20,880
Speaker 1: You thought you needed to get stronger, maybe.

36
00:01:20,800 --> 00:01:24,000
Speaker 2: More in your legs. I'm curious that need addressed that.

37
00:01:24,640 --> 00:01:27,640
Speaker 1: I think it's you know, it's funny. So my lower

38
00:01:27,640 --> 00:01:30,120
Speaker 1: body it'll never look bigger, but you know, I'm as

39
00:01:30,120 --> 00:01:32,240
Speaker 1: strong as anybody else when it comes to squadding, when

40
00:01:32,240 --> 00:01:33,759
Speaker 1: it comes to lifting, when it comes to things like that.

41
00:01:34,000 --> 00:01:35,679
Speaker 1: But what I started to learn was more of the

42
00:01:35,720 --> 00:01:38,600
Speaker 1: application of my strips, right or starting to figure out,

43
00:01:38,640 --> 00:01:40,560
Speaker 1: you know, how to use my leverage and use the

44
00:01:40,600 --> 00:01:42,440
Speaker 1: things that I have to my knowntage.

45
00:01:42,959 --> 00:01:45,640
Speaker 3: In one or two players from last year talking about

46
00:01:45,800 --> 00:01:49,120
Speaker 3: finishing that you didn't finish that really stuck with you.

47
00:01:49,280 --> 00:01:51,640
Speaker 1: I mean, yeah, the first game I think we played Washington,

48
00:01:51,800 --> 00:01:53,160
Speaker 1: you know it was a It was a second guess

49
00:01:53,280 --> 00:01:56,480
Speaker 1: uh uh kind of a step that threw me off

50
00:01:56,520 --> 00:01:59,480
Speaker 1: even though I was unblocked. There was a couple uh

51
00:01:59,520 --> 00:02:01,680
Speaker 1: snaps in Eagles game, the first game to play where

52
00:02:01,760 --> 00:02:04,280
Speaker 1: I could have had an impact if I, you know,

53
00:02:04,520 --> 00:02:06,840
Speaker 1: finished the top of my rush. And I know it

54
00:02:06,920 --> 00:02:08,200
Speaker 1: was one even in the Texans when I was going

55
00:02:08,200 --> 00:02:10,760
Speaker 1: to these lamy tnel. He's a guy who really long,

56
00:02:11,040 --> 00:02:12,880
Speaker 1: but I let him at the end of my rush.

57
00:02:12,880 --> 00:02:14,080
Speaker 1: I let him kind of get his hands on me

58
00:02:14,120 --> 00:02:15,680
Speaker 1: where you know, I should have been able to get

59
00:02:15,680 --> 00:02:17,880
Speaker 1: around him. What does it say to you, to you

60
00:02:17,680 --> 00:02:20,600
Speaker 1: at your world really that they made a lot of upgrades,

61
00:02:20,639 --> 00:02:22,560
Speaker 1: They brought in a lot of players in different positions.

62
00:02:23,000 --> 00:02:25,600
Speaker 3: They're kind of rolling it back and running back with

63
00:02:25,720 --> 00:02:29,040
Speaker 3: you guys there at his rush, all right, Well, no

64
00:02:29,040 --> 00:02:30,280
Speaker 3: other words, they didn't.

65
00:02:30,040 --> 00:02:31,959
Speaker 1: Bring it, bring somebody else in. It's kind of the

66
00:02:31,960 --> 00:02:33,520
Speaker 1: same group. Who's that it was last year?

67
00:02:33,760 --> 00:02:34,079
Speaker 2: What is that?

68
00:02:34,240 --> 00:02:37,800
Speaker 1: What does that say to you that we got a

69
00:02:37,800 --> 00:02:39,799
Speaker 1: great GM. I mean since I've been here, he's been

70
00:02:39,880 --> 00:02:41,919
Speaker 1: uh you know, I told myself want to be something

71
00:02:41,960 --> 00:02:43,640
Speaker 1: like a GM. One day, so I started to look at,

72
00:02:43,680 --> 00:02:46,120
Speaker 1: you know, the team's needs and you know, whatever the

73
00:02:46,160 --> 00:02:48,040
Speaker 1: case may be. But I feel like he's brought in

74
00:02:48,080 --> 00:02:50,680
Speaker 1: the right pieces for us to continue to grow on

75
00:02:50,720 --> 00:02:52,800
Speaker 1: the office side, on the defensive side, and you know

76
00:02:52,840 --> 00:02:54,240
Speaker 1: a lot of guys that he did bring in and

77
00:02:54,280 --> 00:02:56,800
Speaker 1: that are here now or are primed, and there are

78
00:02:56,840 --> 00:02:58,600
Speaker 1: some great players. So I'm excited to you know, really

79
00:02:58,600 --> 00:03:00,280
Speaker 1: get out there and you know, start trying to camp.

80
00:03:00,400 --> 00:03:03,040
Speaker 1: They didn't bring in any edge rushers, so yeah, right,

81
00:03:03,120 --> 00:03:05,760
Speaker 1: so what does what do you think that I don't

82
00:03:05,760 --> 00:03:07,160
Speaker 1: know how much more money they were gonna spend no

83
00:03:07,240 --> 00:03:12,320
Speaker 1: edge rushers, but uh yeah, I'm excited. You just really

84
00:03:12,320 --> 00:03:13,400
Speaker 1: piqued my interest with it.

85
00:03:13,480 --> 00:03:15,520
Speaker 2: You want to bet you see yourself working on.

86
00:03:16,480 --> 00:03:18,079
Speaker 1: Not really, not really, I kind of just want to

87
00:03:18,080 --> 00:03:20,000
Speaker 1: be an analyst like you guys, kind of see you know,

88
00:03:20,120 --> 00:03:22,160
Speaker 1: what the next moves are for teams and for me

89
00:03:22,240 --> 00:03:24,000
Speaker 1: even being on a team, you know, trying to figure

90
00:03:24,000 --> 00:03:26,720
Speaker 1: out what components does the team need to succeed. So

91
00:03:26,919 --> 00:03:28,359
Speaker 1: just to kind of looking at it from a three

92
00:03:28,440 --> 00:03:31,240
Speaker 1: sixty point of view, you dig.

93
00:03:31,080 --> 00:03:33,519
Speaker 3: Into analytics at all in terms of how it can

94
00:03:33,560 --> 00:03:34,880
Speaker 3: help you as a player.

95
00:03:35,600 --> 00:03:37,120
Speaker 1: I mean, we just brought in a corner and I

96
00:03:37,200 --> 00:03:39,360
Speaker 1: know that'll help. So I'm excited to you know, see

97
00:03:39,360 --> 00:03:42,000
Speaker 1: some more lockdown coverage. I'm excited to you know, be

98
00:03:42,040 --> 00:03:43,760
Speaker 1: able to you know, make things happen.

99
00:03:43,760 --> 00:03:45,840
Speaker 3: Along those lines. Since you do you like to do

100
00:03:45,880 --> 00:03:47,440
Speaker 3: this type of stuff. What do you think of alving

101
00:03:47,480 --> 00:03:49,160
Speaker 3: you that she's defensive side all?

102
00:03:49,360 --> 00:03:51,600
Speaker 1: They're amazing. Now we have depth. I'm excited. You know,

103
00:03:51,600 --> 00:03:52,920
Speaker 1: a lot of guys are here to work. There are

104
00:03:52,920 --> 00:03:56,360
Speaker 1: no egos or no, there's nobody that that doesn't want

105
00:03:56,360 --> 00:03:58,560
Speaker 1: to get better. Right, So if you look out there,

106
00:03:58,640 --> 00:04:00,280
Speaker 1: it looks like practice is still going on because a

107
00:04:00,320 --> 00:04:01,760
Speaker 1: lot of guys still you know, training with each other

108
00:04:01,800 --> 00:04:03,040
Speaker 1: and helping each other out. And that's kind of the

109
00:04:03,520 --> 00:04:05,080
Speaker 1: culture about the.

110
00:04:05,040 --> 00:04:06,520
Speaker 3: Offensive side of the ball. I mean, you got some

111
00:04:06,520 --> 00:04:08,320
Speaker 3: guys that can really challenge you as I.

112
00:04:08,280 --> 00:04:10,000
Speaker 1: Mean, yeah, you know even today, you know, they made

113
00:04:10,000 --> 00:04:12,760
Speaker 1: some plays and it made me excited seeing them make

114
00:04:12,840 --> 00:04:14,840
Speaker 1: plays and seeing them kind of gel together and continue

115
00:04:14,880 --> 00:04:15,880
Speaker 1: to grow that chemistry.

116
00:04:16,040 --> 00:04:18,960
Speaker 3: Other than the you study things you can do better,

117
00:04:19,720 --> 00:04:21,760
Speaker 3: what do you think you learned most about what this

118
00:04:21,960 --> 00:04:24,359
Speaker 3: is all about, what the NFL life is all about.

119
00:04:24,880 --> 00:04:28,440
Speaker 1: You couldn't have known before this that, Yeah, dinner gets

120
00:04:28,480 --> 00:04:30,200
Speaker 1: expensive when you go a year. Going out to dinner

121
00:04:30,200 --> 00:04:32,160
Speaker 1: every week, you start to realize, like, man, I'm start

122
00:04:32,200 --> 00:04:34,280
Speaker 1: eating at home, going to the grocery store.

123
00:04:35,640 --> 00:04:38,080
Speaker 2: The Giants did some video the other day when you

124
00:04:38,080 --> 00:04:39,680
Speaker 2: guys walked up the field. We had to like say

125
00:04:39,680 --> 00:04:41,799
Speaker 2: something nice about the guy you were and I noticed

126
00:04:41,800 --> 00:04:44,159
Speaker 2: you were walking off with Evan And you guys always

127
00:04:44,160 --> 00:04:45,640
Speaker 2: be linked as the same draft class.

128
00:04:45,680 --> 00:04:48,000
Speaker 1: Top that pick. You had success.

129
00:04:48,000 --> 00:04:50,840
Speaker 2: He kinda had ups and downs last year.

130
00:04:50,760 --> 00:04:51,240
Speaker 1: As a rookie.

131
00:04:51,320 --> 00:04:53,719
Speaker 2: Whatever you seen from him in terms of maybe where

132
00:04:53,760 --> 00:04:56,360
Speaker 2: he's grown and maybe he is you going against him

133
00:04:56,360 --> 00:04:58,400
Speaker 2: what he showed you as a rookie versus what he

134
00:04:58,440 --> 00:04:59,280
Speaker 2: showed everybody else.

135
00:04:59,320 --> 00:05:01,800
Speaker 1: Well, you know, the thing about playing defense and offense

136
00:05:01,880 --> 00:05:04,960
Speaker 1: is that you know, if we lose, they're not just

137
00:05:04,960 --> 00:05:07,520
Speaker 1: gonna point at me, you know, but if we lose,

138
00:05:07,560 --> 00:05:09,920
Speaker 1: they're gonna point at the old line. So for him,

139
00:05:09,960 --> 00:05:12,719
Speaker 1: I feel like he's been able to process it more mentally.

140
00:05:12,960 --> 00:05:15,160
Speaker 1: I feel like, you know, coming into it, he starts

141
00:05:15,200 --> 00:05:17,320
Speaker 1: to get an understanding and lead too, just figuring out

142
00:05:17,360 --> 00:05:19,880
Speaker 1: that you have to play to your strengths. You know

143
00:05:19,920 --> 00:05:21,400
Speaker 1: a lot of guys coming to the NFL and they

144
00:05:21,440 --> 00:05:23,719
Speaker 1: want to be like somebody else, or want to take

145
00:05:23,800 --> 00:05:25,560
Speaker 1: every tool that you can get. But it's like, at

146
00:05:25,600 --> 00:05:27,240
Speaker 1: the end of the day, you are who you are,

147
00:05:27,360 --> 00:05:29,360
Speaker 1: and once you start to understand you know what type

148
00:05:29,360 --> 00:05:31,599
Speaker 1: of player you are and how you can grow with

149
00:05:31,640 --> 00:05:34,679
Speaker 1: the assets you already have, you become a great player.

150
00:05:34,720 --> 00:05:36,640
Speaker 1: So I think he's done a great job one blocking

151
00:05:36,640 --> 00:05:38,320
Speaker 1: out the noise and continue to stay on his grind

152
00:05:38,360 --> 00:05:41,320
Speaker 1: and then continue to ask those questions. Be hungry, be

153
00:05:41,360 --> 00:05:44,240
Speaker 1: curious when you when you.

154
00:05:44,279 --> 00:05:47,960
Speaker 3: Look at last year in the spring versus this year,

155
00:05:48,000 --> 00:05:51,880
Speaker 3: and how maybe last year is probably world win, not yours,

156
00:05:51,920 --> 00:05:55,040
Speaker 3: but how locked in more locked in? Do you feel

157
00:05:55,040 --> 00:05:58,560
Speaker 3: on your game this year as opposed to last year?

158
00:05:58,600 --> 00:06:00,000
Speaker 3: And how much is that gonna help?

159
00:06:01,560 --> 00:06:03,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, when you talked about being locked in, I think

160
00:06:03,160 --> 00:06:05,520
Speaker 1: it's a different metalent, right. You know, when when you

161
00:06:05,600 --> 00:06:08,880
Speaker 1: haven't played against uh NFL caliber guys, you don't really

162
00:06:08,920 --> 00:06:10,800
Speaker 1: know right how big you are, how big, how strong

163
00:06:10,839 --> 00:06:12,159
Speaker 1: you need to be, how fast you need to be.

164
00:06:12,360 --> 00:06:13,880
Speaker 1: But once you kind of get that down and you

165
00:06:13,880 --> 00:06:16,120
Speaker 1: start to really learn the the the ins and out

166
00:06:16,160 --> 00:06:17,640
Speaker 1: of the game, which is kind of what I started

167
00:06:17,640 --> 00:06:19,000
Speaker 1: to do at the end of the season last year

168
00:06:19,480 --> 00:06:21,160
Speaker 1: going into this year, I think you know, it becomes

169
00:06:21,160 --> 00:06:23,360
Speaker 1: a lot easier. Now I can really focus on the

170
00:06:23,400 --> 00:06:25,640
Speaker 1: offense and not so much focus on myself, but figure

171
00:06:25,640 --> 00:06:27,960
Speaker 1: out you know, uh the different tips and tricks I

172
00:06:28,000 --> 00:06:29,360
Speaker 1: can get going into a training camp.

173
00:06:29,560 --> 00:06:32,320
Speaker 3: You you can talked about one finish better this year

174
00:06:32,880 --> 00:06:34,039
Speaker 3: into sacks.

175
00:06:34,360 --> 00:06:35,760
Speaker 1: Do you put a number on that at all?

176
00:06:36,440 --> 00:06:36,640
Speaker 2: Uh? N?

177
00:06:36,839 --> 00:06:38,480
Speaker 1: No, because I I I had a number on the

178
00:06:38,560 --> 00:06:40,479
Speaker 1: last year, and I figured out that. You know, the

179
00:06:40,560 --> 00:06:42,240
Speaker 1: season is so long that you have to do it

180
00:06:42,279 --> 00:06:45,080
Speaker 1: by game. So if I can make impactful plays like

181
00:06:45,080 --> 00:06:47,159
Speaker 1: I was able to do and continue to to win,

182
00:06:47,240 --> 00:06:49,480
Speaker 1: I mean no one will ever remember, right, So as

183
00:06:49,520 --> 00:06:50,800
Speaker 1: long as as long as we win, and as long

184
00:06:50,800 --> 00:06:53,080
Speaker 1: as I continue to play well and play for my teammates,

185
00:06:53,120 --> 00:06:56,159
Speaker 1: I think I'll be good. When one that shift of

186
00:06:56,240 --> 00:06:58,680
Speaker 1: like maybe thinking not about a number of sacks, but

187
00:06:59,080 --> 00:07:00,880
Speaker 1: kind of about more than the season as a whole.

188
00:07:00,880 --> 00:07:02,279
Speaker 1: How did you a process that or why did that

189
00:07:02,279 --> 00:07:04,279
Speaker 1: start to change? When you when you go four sacks?

190
00:07:04,320 --> 00:07:06,159
Speaker 1: It was it four or five games with no sacks,

191
00:07:06,200 --> 00:07:08,359
Speaker 1: I mean you start to realize, like, well, number, I

192
00:07:08,400 --> 00:07:11,240
Speaker 1: mean forget that number. You starting to forget the number,

193
00:07:11,240 --> 00:07:13,240
Speaker 1: and you know, what can I do to to just

194
00:07:13,320 --> 00:07:13,880
Speaker 1: make a play.

195
00:07:14,080 --> 00:07:14,280
Speaker 2: You know.

196
00:07:14,360 --> 00:07:17,240
Speaker 1: So after you know, come Baltimore game, it was like, yo,

197
00:07:17,320 --> 00:07:18,520
Speaker 1: I I gotta make a play.

198
00:07:18,720 --> 00:07:18,840
Speaker 2: You know.

199
00:07:18,840 --> 00:07:20,800
Speaker 1: I don't really have m time to to think about

200
00:07:20,920 --> 00:07:23,080
Speaker 1: the goals I had. I I gotta go for something

201
00:07:23,120 --> 00:07:23,280
Speaker 1: now
