1
00:00:02,920 --> 00:00:04,720
Speaker 1: I can trying to start with that. What do you

2
00:00:04,920 --> 00:00:06,680
Speaker 1: What did you know about Jacksonville and how were you

3
00:00:06,680 --> 00:00:07,400
Speaker 1: getting the news?

4
00:00:07,800 --> 00:00:11,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, like, I played here my rookie year and my

5
00:00:11,680 --> 00:00:14,200
Speaker 2: second year of preseason, so I've been to Jacksonville a

6
00:00:14,200 --> 00:00:18,040
Speaker 2: few times. Obviously, I'm not too familiar with the Florida area. Besides, uh,

7
00:00:18,200 --> 00:00:20,759
Speaker 2: I went to IMG Academy and Braden's in Florida, so

8
00:00:21,320 --> 00:00:23,079
Speaker 2: I'm used to that. But I found a new that

9
00:00:23,120 --> 00:00:25,720
Speaker 2: I was just on the game. My agent called me.

10
00:00:26,120 --> 00:00:28,639
Speaker 2: It was like, Jacksonville wants to trade for you, and

11
00:00:28,680 --> 00:00:31,000
Speaker 2: I was like, let's do it. So yeah, I end

12
00:00:31,080 --> 00:00:33,839
Speaker 2: up finding out at maybe like eleven PM, and I

13
00:00:33,880 --> 00:00:36,200
Speaker 2: had to get everything back. I was playing two K. Yeah,

14
00:00:36,240 --> 00:00:38,400
Speaker 2: I'm a two K player, So you're just.

15
00:00:38,479 --> 00:00:41,000
Speaker 1: Were you respecting to be traded? Was there a potential

16
00:00:41,000 --> 00:00:43,800
Speaker 1: for that? No, I wasn't expecting it at all. Yeah,

17
00:00:43,960 --> 00:00:44,840
Speaker 1: so it's pretty world.

18
00:00:44,840 --> 00:00:47,240
Speaker 3: We're in twenty four hours, got to jump on the plane,

19
00:00:47,280 --> 00:00:48,479
Speaker 3: get here, crash course.

20
00:00:48,920 --> 00:00:50,760
Speaker 1: So head still spinning a little bit.

21
00:00:51,120 --> 00:00:54,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, but now I mean the goals to be Seattle,

22
00:00:54,720 --> 00:00:56,440
Speaker 2: so I gotta do whatever I can to.

23
00:00:56,480 --> 00:00:58,240
Speaker 1: Get the playbook down as fast as I can. So

24
00:00:58,280 --> 00:01:00,040
Speaker 1: we can get a win. How tough is it to

25
00:01:00,080 --> 00:01:02,600
Speaker 1: get up to speed that quickly a couple of days. Yeah,

26
00:01:02,640 --> 00:01:03,600
Speaker 1: it's it's definitely tough.

27
00:01:03,640 --> 00:01:06,240
Speaker 2: But uh, you know, I'm a Northwestern man, so I

28
00:01:06,240 --> 00:01:09,639
Speaker 2: I pride myself on my my brains, so I'll be alright.

29
00:01:09,760 --> 00:01:12,320
Speaker 1: Liam said, there's some crossover that's sort of crossover is

30
00:01:12,360 --> 00:01:14,240
Speaker 1: there between Schwartz's defense.

31
00:01:13,920 --> 00:01:16,360
Speaker 2: And this one? Yeah, just just some of the way

32
00:01:16,400 --> 00:01:18,960
Speaker 2: we play quarters things like that. Obviously with shorts defense,

33
00:01:18,959 --> 00:01:21,560
Speaker 2: I played a lot of press man. So on this defense,

34
00:01:21,560 --> 00:01:23,280
Speaker 2: I'll definitely be able to get my eyes to the

35
00:01:23,319 --> 00:01:25,560
Speaker 2: quarterback a little bit more and hopefully, uh get to

36
00:01:25,560 --> 00:01:26,520
Speaker 2: see some interceptions.

37
00:01:26,640 --> 00:01:28,560
Speaker 1: Is what did you guys running Northwestern? Uh? A lot

38
00:01:28,600 --> 00:01:31,039
Speaker 1: of quarters? Yup? How's that been? Getting to know some

39
00:01:31,080 --> 00:01:33,000
Speaker 1: of your teammates? I think one of 'em is spying

40
00:01:33,040 --> 00:01:35,360

125
00:04:51,360 --> 00:04:53,200

126
00:04:53,600 --> 00:04:55,800
