Um you know, like I said, 49 00:02:19,200 --> 00:02:21,200 Speaker 1: a lot of great guys on the defensive side of 50 00:02:21,200 --> 00:02:23,680 Speaker 1: the ball, and we're just trying to you know, build 51 00:02:23,720 --> 00:02:26,520 Speaker 1: everything and put everything together and just stack days day 52 00:02:26,520 --> 00:02:32,600 Speaker 1: by day than the one. Yeah, I'm a linebacker. I 53 00:02:32,639 --> 00:02:36,080 Speaker 1: can play in any scheme. Honestly, Um, I just feel like, 54 00:02:36,240 --> 00:02:37,800 Speaker 1: you know, it's an opportunity, you know, for me to 55 00:02:37,840 --> 00:02:40,760 Speaker 1: come over contribute to a great organization, you know, any 56 00:02:40,760 --> 00:02:44,480 Speaker 1: way possible. I have connected to you guys feel already 57 00:02:44,480 --> 00:02:46,280 Speaker 1: as a as a year. They're just in coverage. Since 58 00:02:46,280 --> 00:02:49,280 Speaker 1: there's no hats obviously a lot of passing groups players 59 00:02:50,160 --> 00:02:52,880 Speaker 1: we've just been practicing and preaching on, you know, just 60 00:02:52,960 --> 00:02:55,160 Speaker 1: running to the ball obviously with you know, we know 61 00:02:55,200 --> 00:02:56,800 Speaker 1: it's not gonna be a lot of run plays. So 62 00:02:57,400 --> 00:03:01,040 Speaker 1: whenever Matt Bailey whoever throws the ball, we're just trying 63 00:03:01,040 --> 00:03:03,120 Speaker 1: to you know, practice those good habits by running to 64 00:03:03,160 --> 00:03:09,200 Speaker 1: the ball. Punching at the ball, trying to create turnovers. Monday, 65 00:03:10,160 --> 00:03:12,960 Speaker 1: my team, I would say, my linebackers know how I 66 00:03:12,960 --> 00:03:16,480 Speaker 1: feel about you know, physical football, So we all pumped up. 67 00:03:16,520 --> 00:03:18,520 Speaker 1: You know, we get a chance to really compete against 68 00:03:18,560 --> 00:03:21,520 Speaker 1: each other and you know, and just really just continue 69 00:03:21,560 --> 00:03:23,200 Speaker 1: to build as a team. At the end of the day, 70 00:03:23,240 --> 00:03:25,400 Speaker 1: you know, even even though we have passed on, we 71 00:03:25,400 --> 00:03:33,120 Speaker 1: got to take care of each other. Yeah. Yeah, Like 72 00:03:33,160 --> 00:03:36,480 Speaker 1: I said earlier, it's something that I've done since high school. 73 00:03:36,600 --> 00:03:39,800 Speaker 1: Pretty good at it. So I often tell you know, 74 00:03:39,840 --> 00:03:43,160 Speaker 1: our special teams coach. I told especial teams coach here 75 00:03:43,200 --> 00:03:44,680 Speaker 1: that you know, I could do it, and he gave 76 00:03:44,720 --> 00:03:46,960 Speaker 1: me a chance. He didn't believe me, but I showed 77 00:03:47,000 --> 00:03:48,760 Speaker 1: him that I can do it. And then that was 78 00:03:48,800 --> 00:03:57,480 Speaker 1: that the game in Green Bag. Oh yeah, definitely, I'll 79 00:03:57,480 --> 00:04:00,200 Speaker 1: be ready if that opportunity ever presents it. So who 80 00:04:00,320 --> 00:04:02,600 Speaker 1: was the who was the assessment from the coaches after this? 81 00:04:02,760 --> 00:04:06,840 Speaker 1: I mean that not even make that face all right, 82 00:04:06,920 --> 00:04:10,160 Speaker 1: pretty good, but you know what they'd be like, you 83 00:04:10,200 --> 00:04:11,960 Speaker 1: know what you're gonna do if you got to do 84 00:04:11,960 --> 00:04:14,040 Speaker 1: it in a game. You know, obviously with me just 85 00:04:14,040 --> 00:04:16,919 Speaker 1: doing it out here is totally different than doing it 86 00:04:16,960 --> 00:04:20,080 Speaker 1: in a game. So I'll stay prepared though in your 87 00:04:20,080 --> 00:04:22,600 Speaker 1: first preseason, which man, Jelly's is in college this year 88 00:04:22,640 --> 00:04:24,120 Speaker 1: and he's maybe a bit younger at that time, and 89 00:04:24,200 --> 00:04:26,120 Speaker 1: he's been kind of guy. How has he changed what 90 00:04:26,279 --> 00:04:28,320 Speaker 1: he's been like getting back on the field with that here, 91 00:04:29,160 --> 00:04:31,480 Speaker 1: It's it's fun man. Like I said, it's been a blessing, 92 00:04:31,520 --> 00:04:33,800 Speaker 1: you know, to have that full circle moment. And you know, 93 00:04:34,040 --> 00:04:36,520 Speaker 1: like I said when I first got here, just being 94 00:04:36,560 --> 00:04:38,799 Speaker 1: able to see the maturity you know, from him from 95 00:04:38,800 --> 00:04:41,200 Speaker 1: college to now, it's just just through the roof. You know, 96 00:04:41,279 --> 00:04:45,000 Speaker 1: he he's been practicing and you know, carrying himself like 97 00:04:45,040 --> 00:04:47,520 Speaker 1: a pro like he should. You know, obviously you don't 98 00:04:47,520 --> 00:04:51,400 Speaker 1: see the rookie mac Jones anymore. So super proud of him. 99 00:04:51,400 --> 00:04:54,200 Speaker 1: Glad he's on our team, and you know, I feel like, 100 00:04:54,839 --> 00:04:59,720 Speaker 1: you know, we can do something special.

You know, your teammates 112 00:05:33,040 --> 00:05:35,200 Speaker 1: know how you feel about business football. You guys done 113 00:05:35,200 --> 00:05:39,440 Speaker 1: so many passing games rep slash year. How important is 114 00:05:39,480 --> 00:05:43,599 Speaker 1: that part of your job? Just knowing you what today's NFL. Yeah, 115 00:05:43,640 --> 00:05:46,960 Speaker 1: that's definitely important obviously. Uh, you know, it's just how 116 00:05:46,960 --> 00:05:49,080 Speaker 1: the NFL is not like you mentioned, Um, it's a 117 00:05:49,160 --> 00:05:51,680 Speaker 1: lot of passing situations. You know, you may run into 118 00:05:51,680 --> 00:05:54,679 Speaker 1: a team that that plays that smash my physical running 119 00:05:54,720 --> 00:05:58,159 Speaker 1: ball football. But I mean it's just you gotta be 120 00:05:58,160 --> 00:06:00,680 Speaker 1: prepared for both. And I'll understand. And I just feel 121 00:06:00,720 --> 00:06:03,720 Speaker 1: like passing the ball, it's it's super big and today's NFL, 122 00:06:03,839 --> 00:06:06,200 Speaker 1: so you gotta you gotta take that, you know, important 123 00:06:06,240 --> 00:06:25,960 Speaker 1: and serious, you know now, Um, I mean, I guess 124 00:06:25,960 --> 00:06:28,200 Speaker 1: you could say it changed a little bit. Um. You know, 125 00:06:28,240 --> 00:06:30,040 Speaker 1: back in the day, you know, it's bigger linebackers and 126 00:06:30,160 --> 00:06:32,839 Speaker 1: things like that, and now you know, you see, you know, 127 00:06:33,080 --> 00:06:37,200 Speaker 1: smaller linebackers. Some teams want faster linebackers. You know, some 128 00:06:37,279 --> 00:06:40,960 Speaker 1: teams want fast, scat running backs. You know, so it's 129 00:06:41,000 --> 00:06:43,640 Speaker 1: kind of changing a little bit. And you know, honestly, 130 00:06:43,760 --> 00:06:45,599 Speaker 1: just you just gotta be able to execute and do 131 00:06:45,640 --> 00:06:47,160 Speaker 1: your job at the end of the day, no matter 132 00:06:47,160 --> 00:06:49,359 Speaker 1: how much you wait, you know, no matter how fast 133 00:06:49,400 --> 00:06:54,840 Speaker 1: you is.
