Speaker 1: It's the last forty hours been for you.

00:00:02,920 --> 00:00:05,360
Speaker 2: Look, I probably said it's been crazy, but you know

00:00:05,640 --> 00:00:08,719
Speaker 2: it's also a blessing, Uh to keep playing football for show,

Speaker 1: What what's it? What's it like coming to a new

11
00:00:24,280 --> 00:00:24,840
Speaker 1: new situation.

12
00:00:25,560 --> 00:00:27,880
Speaker 2: Uh, it's kind of you know, this is like a

13
00:00:27,920 --> 00:00:29,960
Speaker 2: world shot. Never been through it before. But like I said,

14
00:00:29,960 --> 00:00:33,000
Speaker 2: I'm always always willing to change. Definitely got to come

15
00:00:33,000 --> 00:00:34,680
Speaker 2: out here and work with the working each and every day,

00:00:34,720 --> 00:00:35,559
Speaker 2: and that's what I'm bringing to it.

17
00:00:35,640 --> 00:00:37,720
Speaker 1: How did you find out you've been traded? In it?

18
00:00:37,800 --> 00:00:40,159
Speaker 1: To take you the best surprise I was.

19
00:00:40,600 --> 00:00:42,800
Speaker 2: I was eating breakfast at the stadium and then they

20
00:00:42,840 --> 00:00:45,000
Speaker 2: called me to the side, said you're getting traded right now.

21
00:00:45,120 --> 00:00:47,320
Speaker 2: So had to make that quick transition to come out here.

22
00:00:47,400 --> 00:00:51,960
Speaker 2: Yesterday you finishing oh man, yes, didn't let you finish

23
00:00:51,960 --> 00:00:52,239
Speaker 2: your breath.

24
00:00:53,360 --> 00:00:55,120
Speaker 1: I barely finished it. Yeah, I just fai.

25
00:00:55,320 --> 00:01:00,320
Speaker 3: Yeah what are you how do you look at this

26
00:01:01,000 --> 00:01:03,440
Speaker 3: a new a new chance and do it you know,

27
00:01:03,920 --> 00:01:07,720
Speaker 3: new new environment and did you talk to Isaiah and

28
00:01:07,760 --> 00:01:11,000
Speaker 3: Nick and you didn't have to go work right there?

29
00:01:11,120 --> 00:01:13,720
Speaker 2: I would definitely say there's a new opportunity, new beginners.

30
00:01:13,720 --> 00:01:13,920
Speaker 1: For me.

31
00:01:13,920 --> 00:01:16,000
Speaker 2: That's how I'm looking at Everything's in the past, in

32
00:01:16,040 --> 00:01:18,880
Speaker 2: the past from now just looking forward. Got the same mindset.

33
00:01:19,400 --> 00:01:21,319
Speaker 2: Talked to Isaiah in the off season. You know, we

34
00:01:21,360 --> 00:01:22,880
Speaker 2: both live in Arizona, so it was kind of that

35
00:01:22,920 --> 00:01:26,080
Speaker 2: relationship always kept there. Me and Nick uh just go

36
00:01:26,120 --> 00:01:27,600
Speaker 2: all the way back to college, so we always had

37
00:01:27,600 --> 00:01:29,959
Speaker 2: a connection. So it was just that smooth transition people

38
00:01:29,959 --> 00:01:30,800
Speaker 2: here that you know is good.

39
00:01:31,080 --> 00:01:33,480
Speaker 1: Now, would you described what happened in Buffalo?

40
00:01:33,600 --> 00:01:36,679
Speaker 3: Did you what would what would you describe it?

41
00:01:36,880 --> 00:01:39,120
Speaker 2: I would say, you know, it is what it is,

42
00:01:39,160 --> 00:01:41,360
Speaker 2: part of the business. No hatred towards him at all.

43
00:01:41,400 --> 00:01:43,840
Speaker 2: Thankful for the opportunity, but now it's just all a

44
00:01:43,840 --> 00:01:45,880
Speaker 2: by the giants. I'm here and ready to play ball.

45
00:01:46,000 --> 00:01:48,920
Speaker 1: You wish there had been more opportunity there. You were,

46
00:01:49,040 --> 00:01:51,360
Speaker 1: you played, but you never got a chance to start.

47
00:01:51,800 --> 00:01:54,520
Speaker 2: I mean, at some parts me's like wishing to happen,

48
00:01:54,600 --> 00:01:56,080
Speaker 2: But then like I said, I'm here now, and it's

49
00:01:56,200 --> 00:01:58,320
Speaker 2: like your focus on them everywhere about the past two mats.

50
00:01:58,560 --> 00:02:00,280
Speaker 1: If you got a chance to talk to Joe Shane

51
00:02:00,360 --> 00:02:02,880
Speaker 1: since you got here, Oh yeah, yeah, what was that?

52
00:02:02,960 --> 00:02:04,520
Speaker 1: Like you guys probably each other.

53
00:02:04,680 --> 00:02:07,080
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, So yesterday I flew in around like two

54
00:02:07,160 --> 00:02:10,200
Speaker 2: thirty three o'clock. Well, I went through all the medical stuff,

55
00:02:10,320 --> 00:02:13,040
Speaker 2: came here, Jo saying big hug, dap up's good to

56
00:02:13,040 --> 00:02:15,680
Speaker 2: see you again. It's like, so he the reason I

57
00:02:15,680 --> 00:02:18,080
Speaker 2: got drafted Buffalo first place, so they coming here.

58
00:02:18,280 --> 00:02:19,040
Speaker 1: He wanted me here.

59
00:02:19,080 --> 00:02:19,640
Speaker 3: So that's like.

60
00:02:19,560 --> 00:02:21,800
Speaker 2: A little bomb we got right there for sure.

61
00:02:21,919 --> 00:02:23,480
Speaker 1: You said he's the reason you got drafted? Was he

62
00:02:23,520 --> 00:02:25,440
Speaker 1: like one of the scouts, the first scouts, that one of.

63
00:02:25,440 --> 00:02:27,160
Speaker 2: The first scouts that contacted me talking to me in

64
00:02:27,200 --> 00:02:29,600
Speaker 2: the process, and he was like he's like, I really

65
00:02:29,639 --> 00:02:32,200
Speaker 2: want me to Buffalo. So I kind of I knew

66
00:02:32,240 --> 00:02:34,520
Speaker 2: it was gonna happen eventually, just had that bomb with

67
00:02:34,600 --> 00:02:35,639
Speaker 2: him before he left Buffalo.

68
00:02:35,800 --> 00:02:37,840
Speaker 1: So yeah, probably about a year and a half from now,

69
00:02:37,960 --> 00:02:39,519
Speaker 1: you thought it was gonna happen. Yeah, but you know

70
00:02:39,639 --> 00:02:43,760
Speaker 1: it is. How about the idea that Dave's was your

71
00:02:43,800 --> 00:02:47,000
Speaker 1: offensive coordinator, that you remember, and now he's the head guy.

72
00:02:47,280 --> 00:02:48,360
Speaker 1: I mean he was.

73
00:02:48,520 --> 00:02:50,400
Speaker 2: He always had that mind set. He wanted to be

74
00:02:50,440 --> 00:02:53,280
Speaker 2: a head coach, even when he was offensive coordinator. You know,

75
00:02:53,320 --> 00:02:55,680
Speaker 2: it's just a matter of time. You know. I'm thankful

76
00:02:55,760 --> 00:02:57,600
Speaker 2: that I get the opportunity to play for him. You know,

77
00:02:58,320 --> 00:03:00,200
Speaker 2: he's crazy. You know, he got his little saying here

78
00:03:00,240 --> 00:03:02,119
Speaker 2: and there. You know, it's kind of I'm already used

79
00:03:02,120 --> 00:03:04,960
Speaker 2: to it. But it's a great it's a great opportunity.

80
00:03:04,600 --> 00:03:07,239
Speaker 1: And what is wing said? I have anything yet?

81
00:03:08,080 --> 00:03:10,480
Speaker 2: It's just just physical and knock back. That's all I

82
00:03:10,560 --> 00:03:13,800
Speaker 2: needed to do the rest of it to come. You've

83
00:03:14,160 --> 00:03:17,000
Speaker 2: you've mostly been a hand in the dirt.

84
00:03:17,440 --> 00:03:19,040
Speaker 1: Is gonna be a different role for you? What was

85
00:03:19,040 --> 00:03:21,000
Speaker 1: the last time you played as a stand up linebacker?

86
00:03:21,639 --> 00:03:23,680
Speaker 2: I probably say, you know, it's bits and pieces here

87
00:03:23,720 --> 00:03:25,720
Speaker 2: in Buffalo. It wasn't like too much like all the time.

88
00:03:25,800 --> 00:03:28,120
Speaker 2: It just comes kind of something about the transition.

89
00:03:27,720 --> 00:03:30,680
Speaker 1: To ye do you like did you like it when

90
00:03:30,680 --> 00:03:31,480
Speaker 1: you did? Or yeah?

91
00:03:31,680 --> 00:03:33,240
Speaker 2: Like I don't see a little more. You know, it's

92
00:03:33,240 --> 00:03:34,640
Speaker 2: always change is always good.

93
00:03:34,840 --> 00:03:37,760
Speaker 1: So that's how I look at So is the leverage

94
00:03:37,960 --> 00:03:39,160
Speaker 1: different thing? I mean, it seems like.

95
00:03:39,080 --> 00:03:42,040
Speaker 2: It would just be a different and then you stand

96
00:03:42,120 --> 00:03:43,640
Speaker 2: up so you'd be a little higher. So sometimes you

97
00:03:43,600 --> 00:03:45,000
Speaker 2: got to adgest your body a little bit
