Speaker 1: those veterans who have served at times in war and

00:00:39,479 --> 00:00:45,239
Speaker 1: in peace. Today there are nearly twenty million veterans in

12
00:00:45,280 --> 00:00:50,280
Speaker 1: the United States. Just think about that for a second, um,

13
00:00:50,320 --> 00:00:54,720
Speaker 1: and we have a great contingent of military members here

14

Speaker 1: behind me. Give them iron of applause. We thank everyone

16
00:01:06,080 --> 00:01:08,959

18
00:01:13,360 --> 00:01:19,240
Speaker 1: show as Lieutenant Colonel Whitney Jensen is here alongside myself

Speaker 1: Lieutenant Colonel Whitney Jensen, thank you so much for joining us.

23
00:01:35,480 --> 00:01:40,480
Speaker 1: Thank you for having me appreciate it. Jets celebrate Salute

24
00:01:40,480 --> 00:01:43,560
Speaker 1: the Service weekend. What was the experience like for you

25
00:01:43,720 --> 00:01:46,960
Speaker 1: at MetLife Stadium. I know you're a forty Niners fan,

26
00:01:47,319 --> 00:01:51,080
Speaker 1: Lieutenant Colonel, but you saw the Jets take care of

27
00:01:51,080 --> 00:01:54,080
Speaker 1: the New York Giants yesterday. I did. I was actually there,

28
00:01:54,360 --> 00:01:56,960
Speaker 1: and you know, the Jets have a great tradition. I'm

29
00:01:57,000 --> 00:01:59,240
Speaker 1: celebrating their military I think they did it about a

30
00:01:59,280 --> 00:02:03,559
Speaker 1: decade before of the NFL embraced the Salute disservice, and

31
00:02:03,880 --> 00:02:06,760
Speaker 1: yesterday was no exception. It was an awesome event. We

32
00:02:06,840 --> 00:02:09,400
Speaker 1: got to go out to the field and we got

33
00:02:09,440 --> 00:02:12,799
Speaker 1: to meet some players, and I just really appreciate all

34
00:02:12,840 --> 00:02:17,960
Speaker 1: the hospitality and just being part of the day. Lieutenant Colonel,

35
00:02:18,520 --> 00:02:21,000
Speaker 1: you mentioned your forty Niners fan. I am. Yes, they're

36
00:02:21,000 --> 00:02:23,560
Speaker 1: playing the Seahawks tonight. They are. What do you think

37
00:02:23,600 --> 00:02:26,040
Speaker 1: about the transition of that team, and you know, having

38
00:02:26,120 --> 00:02:28,480
Speaker 1: John Lynch come over there in the new head coach

39
00:02:28,840 --> 00:02:30,639
Speaker 1: and the things that they're doing right now. So I'm

40
00:02:30,680 --> 00:02:32,919
Speaker 1: super excited, um for the team. You know, I grew

41
00:02:32,960 --> 00:02:36,560
Speaker 1: up in the Bay Area in the eighties, so obviously

42
00:02:36,720 --> 00:02:40,200
Speaker 1: born and raised a Ford Niners fan. Um. We've had

43
00:02:40,240 --> 00:02:43,160
Speaker 1: some tough years, we had some good years under John Harbaugh,

44
00:02:43,320 --> 00:02:46,440
Speaker 1: and I'm just really excited what Lynch is doing right now. Um.

45
00:02:46,480 --> 00:02:50,440
Speaker 1: I love the offense and you know, I hope that

46
00:02:50,840 --> 00:02:53,079
Speaker 1: we're able to do it today against our our travels,

47
00:02:53,120 --> 00:02:55,240
Speaker 1: the Seahawks. Well, and I know this inside the Jets,

48
00:02:55,240 --> 00:02:57,239
Speaker 1: but I'm from Sacramento originally, so I grew up a

49
00:02:57,280 --> 00:03:00,880
Speaker 1: Niners fan as well. So talk what what did you

50
00:03:00,919 --> 00:03:04,079
Speaker 1: think about the environment at MetLife because the Jets and

51
00:03:04,120 --> 00:03:06,840
Speaker 1: the Giants only play once every four years in the

52
00:03:06,880 --> 00:03:09,320
Speaker 1: regular season. You said you grew up in the Bay Area,

53
00:03:09,639 --> 00:03:14,520
Speaker 1: so you're accustomed to the rivalry between the forty Niners

54
00:03:14,520 --> 00:03:17,080
Speaker 1: and the Raiders. Of course, yes, Um, so you know

55
00:03:17,120 --> 00:03:19,240
Speaker 1: the Raiders were in l A when I was growing

56
00:03:19,320 --> 00:03:22,840
Speaker 1: up and then they moved back to Oakland. But um,

57
00:03:22,880 --> 00:03:27,359
Speaker 1: so you know last night or yesterday was fantastic. Um.

58
00:03:27,440 --> 00:03:30,040
Speaker 1: You know, anytime you get two teams that are from

59
00:03:30,040 --> 00:03:32,720
Speaker 1: the same city together. I think it's great. Yeah, the

60
00:03:33,440 --> 00:03:36,400
Speaker 1: stadium was split, um, half and half. You know, you

61
00:03:36,400 --> 00:03:39,520
Speaker 1: you had Jets fans and Giants fans just both going

62
00:03:39,560 --> 00:03:42,280
Speaker 1: at it. It was a great fight, fight to the end,

63
00:03:42,800 --> 00:03:45,440
Speaker 1: um by two teams that are having you know, not

64
00:03:45,440 --> 00:03:48,760
Speaker 1: not the most spectacular season, but you know, you wouldn't

65
00:03:48,800 --> 00:03:51,080
Speaker 1: have been able to tell it yesterday. So I really

66
00:03:51,160 --> 00:03:53,360
Speaker 1: enjoyed the game. I thought it was awesome energy and

67
00:03:53,440 --> 00:03:56,000
Speaker 1: you know, thank thank goodness that Jets pulled through. So

68
00:03:56,320 --> 00:03:58,280
Speaker 1: j E t s. Right, Yeah, there we go, we had.

69
00:03:58,480 --> 00:04:00,960
Speaker 1: I had a big win yesterday. Can you talk about

70
00:04:01,160 --> 00:04:04,440
Speaker 1: you know, obviously in the armed forces, it's it's life

71
00:04:04,560 --> 00:04:07,560
Speaker 1: or death. There's a lot of sacrifices that everyone makes,

72
00:04:08,000 --> 00:04:10,360
Speaker 1: but there are some similarities of sports, and in particularly

73
00:04:10,400 --> 00:04:11,920
Speaker 1: the game of football. Can you talk about some of

74
00:04:11,920 --> 00:04:15,320
Speaker 1: those similarities? Right? So, UM, I always tell everybody, I'm

75
00:04:15,320 --> 00:04:17,560
Speaker 1: a huge sports fan, so I always use sports analogies

76
00:04:17,600 --> 00:04:20,320
Speaker 1: all the time, and I always tell everybody that you know, um,

77
00:04:20,640 --> 00:04:22,400
Speaker 1: life is a team sport and the Army as a

78
00:04:22,440 --> 00:04:25,320
Speaker 1: team sport, and UM, you know, you can't do life

79
00:04:25,360 --> 00:04:27,400
Speaker 1: and you can't do the Army on your own. Um.

80
00:04:27,560 --> 00:04:31,200
Speaker 1: Sometimes you're the quarterback, sometimes you're the lineman, and you know,

81
00:04:31,440 --> 00:04:34,120
Speaker 1: you try to make a play though, Uh if you're

82
00:04:34,200 --> 00:04:36,279
Speaker 1: the quarterback and you don't have a good line, you know,

83
00:04:36,360 --> 00:04:38,240
Speaker 1: holding you there, you know, And at the end of

84
00:04:38,279 --> 00:04:40,279
Speaker 1: the day, we're all trying to get the ball down

85
00:04:40,279 --> 00:04:42,320
Speaker 1: the field to put a w in the win column.

86
00:04:42,360 --> 00:04:45,679
Speaker 1: And that's that's what I always say to all my folks,

87
00:04:45,800 --> 00:04:48,880
Speaker 1: is that the Army is a team sport. And you know,

88
00:04:49,000 --> 00:04:52,920
Speaker 1: you're out there in in combat all the time. Um,

89
00:04:52,960 --> 00:04:56,880
Speaker 1: you know, similar to being in a game, and UM,

90
00:04:56,920 --> 00:04:59,279
Speaker 1: you know, it's just it's it's all about the collective.

91
00:04:59,320 --> 00:05:02,919
Speaker 1: And there's no doubt about that. Now, the great contingent

92
00:05:02,960 --> 00:05:07,680
Speaker 1: behind us from Fort Hamilton's in Brooklyn, New York. What

93
00:05:08,040 --> 00:05:11,640
Speaker 1: do you do in terms of your position? So I'm

94
00:05:11,680 --> 00:05:15,320
Speaker 1: the Battalion commander for the New York City Recruiting Battalion UM,

95
00:05:15,400 --> 00:05:19,720
Speaker 1: and we recruit UH the nation's best from New York City,

96
00:05:19,720 --> 00:05:22,680
Speaker 1: in Long Island, in Westchester County, all the five boroughs

97
00:05:23,040 --> 00:05:29,880
Speaker 1: UM and quality quality personnel. Last year, we recruited about

98
00:05:30,320 --> 00:05:36,719
Speaker 1: um UM four thousand young Americans into UM the United

99
00:05:36,720 --> 00:05:40,840
Speaker 1: States Army, and a third of those had college degrees UM.

100
00:05:40,920 --> 00:05:46,760
Speaker 1: And also we recruited about women and of some type

101
00:05:46,760 --> 00:05:49,599
Speaker 1: of minority background. So New York City is providing the

102
00:05:49,640 --> 00:05:53,200
Speaker 1: diversity that makes our army grade UM and the quality

103
00:05:53,240 --> 00:05:55,479
Speaker 1: that makes our army grade. Why did you choose the

104
00:05:55,640 --> 00:05:59,560
Speaker 1: Army yourself? And you have a fascinating story because you're

105
00:05:59,560 --> 00:06:02,839
Speaker 1: and I unicle twin. And can you tell us what

106
00:06:02,960 --> 00:06:06,440
Speaker 1: your sisters do? So my sister does nothing similar to me.

107
00:06:06,520 --> 00:06:10,359
Speaker 1: She's actually a lieutenant colonel in the Air Force. UM.

108
00:06:10,440 --> 00:06:12,840
Speaker 1: She's stationed at the Pentagon right now, and her and

109
00:06:12,880 --> 00:06:15,760
Speaker 1: her family are getting ready to actually move to Hawaii

110
00:06:15,960 --> 00:06:20,560
Speaker 1: and UM start another UM chapter in her military life there.

111
00:06:21,080 --> 00:06:23,640
Speaker 1: But UM, I joined the Army UM as a college

112
00:06:23,640 --> 00:06:27,200
Speaker 1: student to actually get money for school. UM. I always

113
00:06:27,200 --> 00:06:30,440
Speaker 1: had my my family. My grandfather's were in World War Two,

114
00:06:30,520 --> 00:06:33,800
Speaker 1: so we always had a really good sense of volunteerism

115
00:06:33,880 --> 00:06:36,640
Speaker 1: and giving back to the community. And when it came

116
00:06:36,680 --> 00:06:38,960
Speaker 1: time to pay for college, I was looking for a

117
00:06:39,040 --> 00:06:41,599
Speaker 1: way to to pay. UM. There's five kids in my

118
00:06:41,640 --> 00:06:43,839
Speaker 1: family and my parents just really didn't have the means.

119
00:06:44,279 --> 00:06:47,159
Speaker 1: So UM the Army was was an option, and I

120
00:06:47,200 --> 00:06:48,960
Speaker 1: absolutely fell in love with it. And I'll tell you

121
00:06:49,000 --> 00:06:53,680
Speaker 1: why it's because of the discipline and camaraderie and you know,

122
00:06:54,000 --> 00:06:56,560
Speaker 1: the teamwork that is all part of the Army. And

123
00:06:56,600 --> 00:06:59,440
Speaker 1: also that you can be anything that you want to be. Um,

124
00:06:59,520 --> 00:07:01,800
Speaker 1: it doesn't or what kind of background you're you're from,

125
00:07:01,839 --> 00:07:03,640
Speaker 1: It doesn't matter how much money you make. If you

126
00:07:03,680 --> 00:07:05,520
Speaker 1: put the effort in and you put the work in,

127
00:07:05,680 --> 00:07:08,800
Speaker 1: you can get promoted, you can get recognized. And the

128
00:07:08,920 --> 00:07:11,960
Speaker 1: Army is just a great a great life. And um,

129
00:07:12,000 --> 00:07:15,640
Speaker 1: you know, twenty three years later here yeah, and I

130
00:07:15,640 --> 00:07:17,520
Speaker 1: never would have thought that, But twenty three years later,

131
00:07:17,560 --> 00:07:20,280
Speaker 1: here I am, and UM I command a great contingent

132
00:07:20,320 --> 00:07:23,400
Speaker 1: of personnel. Some of them are behind me again recruiting

133
00:07:23,400 --> 00:07:28,240
Speaker 1: the next generation um of Army service members that are

134
00:07:28,280 --> 00:07:31,080
Speaker 1: all contributing to what we're celebrating today, which is veteran's

135
00:07:31,160 --> 00:07:35,440
Speaker 1: day well being. Being in a recruiting position with these

136
00:07:35,480 --> 00:07:38,520
Speaker 1: young folks that you're recruiting to come into the army. Uh,

137
00:07:38,640 --> 00:07:40,520
Speaker 1: how is how have things changed? You know, how is

138
00:07:40,560 --> 00:07:43,280
Speaker 1: your approach changed to those young men and women who

139
00:07:43,280 --> 00:07:45,119
Speaker 1: are you know, coming out of high school and maybe

140
00:07:45,120 --> 00:07:48,160
Speaker 1: in college, who are thinking about joining the army. So um,

141
00:07:48,160 --> 00:07:50,040
Speaker 1: we just started in a new campaign the Army did.

142
00:07:50,040 --> 00:07:53,400
Speaker 1: It's called What's Your Warrior? And it really UM talks

143
00:07:53,440 --> 00:07:56,200
Speaker 1: about the diversity and the skills that we need for

144
00:07:56,240 --> 00:08:00,120
Speaker 1: today's army. UM. We need smart, intelligent personnel that be

145
00:08:00,160 --> 00:08:04,400
Speaker 1: adaptable and flexible. UM. Today's youth are absolutely up to

146
00:08:04,440 --> 00:08:09,560
Speaker 1: that challenge. UM. They are. They're they're ready to again

147
00:08:09,720 --> 00:08:13,920
Speaker 1: contribute to that legacy. UM. You know. And and really

148
00:08:13,960 --> 00:08:16,240
Speaker 1: it comes just back down to giving back to the

149
00:08:16,280 --> 00:08:20,000
Speaker 1: community and service UM and again building that diversity that

150
00:08:20,000 --> 00:08:23,880
Speaker 1: that makes America great. America deserves to have. UH. A

151
00:08:24,240 --> 00:08:27,960
Speaker 1: army that represents the diversity that that is United States

152
00:08:28,000 --> 00:08:32,240
Speaker 1: of America and New York City absolutely is an amazing

153
00:08:32,679 --> 00:08:37,920
Speaker 1: UM example of that. Yes, it is a multi part

154
00:08:38,160 --> 00:08:42,560
Speaker 1: uh uh inside the Jets presented by e Y building

155

00:10:13,720 --> 00:10:16,439
Speaker 1: you know, over two hundred years ago, we had men

179
00:10:16,480 --> 00:10:18,680
Speaker 1: and women that answered the nation's call, and today we

180
00:10:18,720 --> 00:10:22,080
Speaker 1: have men and women that answers the nation's call. Uh.

181
00:10:22,160 --> 00:10:24,280
Speaker 1: And just to be a part of that greater legacy

182
00:10:24,480 --> 00:10:28,400
Speaker 1: and celebrate everybody's service to country. And you know everyone serves,

183
00:10:28,400 --> 00:10:31,720
Speaker 1: not just the military members, but also the families as well.

184
00:10:32,040 --> 00:10:34,800
Speaker 1: They serve as well, so you know, um, just being

185
00:10:34,840 --> 00:10:37,559
Speaker 1: part of that and being part of that greater family. Uh,

186
00:10:37,679 --> 00:10:41,720
Speaker 1: there's no greater feeling of accomplishment in life than knowing

187
00:10:41,760 --> 00:10:45,360
Speaker 1: that you're giving back to the country that that you love.

188
00:10:45,880 --> 00:10:49,920
Speaker 1: Is there a rivalry between you and your sister? Absolutely? Yeah.

189
00:10:51,160 --> 00:10:53,360
Speaker 1: Talk about Air Force and Army how that works. So

190
00:10:53,600 --> 00:10:55,079
Speaker 1: I mean I won't even go back to Air Force

191
00:10:55,080 --> 00:10:57,160
Speaker 1: and Army and we we did sports our whole life.

192
00:10:57,160 --> 00:11:01,120
Speaker 1: We're always competing against each other. Um. Yeah, we're always

193
00:11:01,160 --> 00:11:02,760
Speaker 1: going back and forth. And actually I have two brother

194
00:11:02,840 --> 00:11:05,880
Speaker 1: in laws that are also in the Air Force, UM,

195
00:11:05,920 --> 00:11:08,400
Speaker 1: and I'm the lone Army person, but they all know

196
00:11:08,440 --> 00:11:12,000
Speaker 1: that who the senior services. So that's the Army. Uh,

197
00:11:12,440 --> 00:11:15,360
Speaker 1: twenty three years. How long you think you're gonna do it?

198
00:11:16,080 --> 00:11:17,679
Speaker 1: You know, I keep saying that I'm gonna do it

199
00:11:17,760 --> 00:11:21,680
Speaker 1: until the arm stops promoting me. But honestly, I will say,

200
00:11:21,840 --> 00:11:24,280
Speaker 1: you know, I absolutely love what I do. Um, I

201
00:11:24,360 --> 00:11:29,319
Speaker 1: love Uh, you know being around these soldiers and um,

202
00:11:29,360 --> 00:11:32,000
Speaker 1: you know, leading them and and you know, hearing their stories.

203
00:11:32,040 --> 00:11:33,880
Speaker 1: You know, every single one of them has an amazing

204
00:11:33,920 --> 00:11:36,720
Speaker 1: story to tell about why they joined the army, but

205
00:11:36,760 --> 00:11:39,760
Speaker 1: more importantly, why they stayed in the army. And UM,

206
00:11:39,760 --> 00:11:42,000
Speaker 1: I tell them to share that with potential recruits, and

207
00:11:42,040 --> 00:11:46,440
Speaker 1: share that with potential UM family members and personnel. You know,

208
00:11:46,760 --> 00:11:49,240
Speaker 1: a lot of people don't know what the army can do.

209
00:11:49,280 --> 00:11:52,199
Speaker 1: There's a hundred and fifty different ways to serve UM.

210
00:11:52,240 --> 00:11:54,720
Speaker 1: A hundred percent of those have some type of civilian

211
00:11:54,720 --> 00:11:57,440
Speaker 1: credentials that can transfer. You can get up to forty

212
00:11:57,840 --> 00:12:02,439
Speaker 1: dollars of UH for signing bonuses, UM. You know, thirty

213
00:12:02,480 --> 00:12:06,320
Speaker 1: days paid vacation UM, and then four thousand dollars tuition

214
00:12:06,360 --> 00:12:09,480
Speaker 1: assistance a year. You know you and then you're also

215
00:12:09,760 --> 00:12:14,240
Speaker 1: learning resilience and discipline and skills that can transfer into

216
00:12:14,240 --> 00:12:18,280
Speaker 1: the civilian world. So you know, UM, the Army is

217
00:12:18,320 --> 00:12:21,720
Speaker 1: a great choice for young people. And you know, just

Speaker 1: Listen follows, get them around. Don't be shot here last night.

246
00:14:10,800 --> 00:14:14,320
Speaker 1: You gotta get him around. Thirteen carries for sake, Kwon

247
00:14:14,400 --> 00:14:19,480
Speaker 1: Barkley one yard, Steve, how did you guys do it?

248
00:14:22,000 --> 00:14:25,000
Speaker 1: We just stuck to the game player. We knew he

249
00:14:25,040 --> 00:14:27,880
Speaker 1: was a dynamic runner, and we knew we had to

250
00:14:27,880 --> 00:14:30,160
Speaker 1: make him stop his feed early and off to and

251
00:14:30,280 --> 00:14:32,480
Speaker 1: hit him when we had a chance. And when we

252
00:14:32,520 --> 00:14:34,960
Speaker 1: did hit him, just just make sure we swarmed to

253
00:14:35,080 --> 00:14:38,200
Speaker 1: him and putting many bodies on him and just hopefully

254
00:14:38,280 --> 00:14:41,120
Speaker 1: we can just let that wear down on him as

255
00:14:41,120 --> 00:14:43,320
Speaker 1: the game went on. And when you talk about stop

256
00:14:43,400 --> 00:14:45,920
Speaker 1: his feet, you're talking about when he gets that handoff.

257
00:14:45,960 --> 00:14:47,360
Speaker 1: You don't want to run it down here, You want

258
00:14:47,480 --> 00:14:49,680
Speaker 1: him to change direction while in the backfield. Yeah, I

259
00:14:49,720 --> 00:14:52,200
Speaker 1: saw him down. What you mean now? I mean the

260
00:14:52,240 --> 00:14:55,400
Speaker 1: game plan was amazing. You know, you guys were dominant

261
00:14:55,440 --> 00:14:58,720
Speaker 1: up front. Uh, what was Listen? I know it's another

262
00:14:58,760 --> 00:15:00,720
Speaker 1: opponent you're playing in New York Giants. But I know

263
00:15:00,760 --> 00:15:02,920
Speaker 1: it's the next opponent. But was there a little bit

264
00:15:02,920 --> 00:15:06,080
Speaker 1: extra or was it just a normal game for you? Uh?

265
00:15:06,240 --> 00:15:08,320
Speaker 1: For me, it was just another game. But I could

266
00:15:08,320 --> 00:15:12,000
Speaker 1: feel in the energy last night that it was yesterday.

267
00:15:12,000 --> 00:15:15,920
Speaker 1: It was most definitely just because it was New York Giants. Yeah,

268
00:15:16,760 --> 00:15:18,880
Speaker 1: it was in the air. It was most definitely there.

269
00:15:18,920 --> 00:15:22,040
Speaker 1: And U plus you get to see, you know, some

270
00:15:22,160 --> 00:15:25,200
Speaker 1: of you guys that you you play with, played against

271
00:15:25,360 --> 00:15:29,680
Speaker 1: in college and in the pros as well. Um, for me,

272
00:15:29,760 --> 00:15:34,360
Speaker 1: it was just exciting just to see that type of atmosphere, um,

273
00:15:34,360 --> 00:15:41,080
Speaker 1: blue and green everywhere. Uh, Henry, I would ask you,

274
00:15:41,320 --> 00:15:46,200
Speaker 1: is I lose my mic here? What talking about the atmosphere?

275
00:15:46,840 --> 00:15:52,560
Speaker 1: And Steve just mentioned some teammates passed. Okay, So I

276
00:15:52,640 --> 00:15:55,720
Speaker 1: think about the big cat Leonard Williams. So he's playing

277
00:15:55,720 --> 00:15:58,360
Speaker 1: with the Giants. Now, what is happening with you guys

278
00:15:58,400 --> 00:16:00,920
Speaker 1: from a defensive line perspective? And I want to start

279
00:16:01,080 --> 00:16:06,160
Speaker 1: start with you, Goose, because the depth up front has

280
00:16:06,240 --> 00:16:09,840
Speaker 1: really been something, and you too are veterans up there,

281
00:16:10,360 --> 00:16:13,480
Speaker 1: and these young guys continue to progress. We're talking to

282
00:16:13,600 --> 00:16:18,560
Speaker 1: fuller runs of Fatikasi. Later, Nathan Sheppard office suspension came in. Uh,

283
00:16:18,760 --> 00:16:20,920
Speaker 1: the last couple of games has really given you guys

284
00:16:21,000 --> 00:16:24,479
Speaker 1: a boost. Kyle Phillips is an undrafted free agent Tennessee.

285
00:16:24,840 --> 00:16:28,080
Speaker 1: He's been tremendous. Quentin Williams is a number three overall

286
00:16:28,240 --> 00:16:31,680
Speaker 1: pick in the draft. So you guys make a trade

287
00:16:32,520 --> 00:16:36,960
Speaker 1: sending Leonard Williams cross town. But to me, it speaks

288
00:16:37,040 --> 00:16:42,640
Speaker 1: to what's developing here from that defensive line perspective. What

289
00:16:42,760 --> 00:16:44,760
Speaker 1: do you guys see each day. Yeah, I mean we

290
00:16:44,840 --> 00:16:47,000
Speaker 1: see just like what you were talking about. We got

291
00:16:47,000 --> 00:16:48,600
Speaker 1: a lot of depth in that room, a lot of

292
00:16:48,640 --> 00:16:52,600
Speaker 1: young guys that have that have shown a lot earlier

293
00:16:52,600 --> 00:16:54,560
Speaker 1: in the season. Like you were saying, Kyle Phillips has

294
00:16:54,560 --> 00:16:57,960
Speaker 1: played some really good football. Um to start the season,

295
00:16:58,120 --> 00:17:01,520
Speaker 1: Quentin's uh stepped up, made a lot of big plays.

296
00:17:02,080 --> 00:17:05,080
Speaker 1: Chef and Fully of both, I mean, Fully has been

297
00:17:05,119 --> 00:17:07,800
Speaker 1: dominant against the run. Um, probably one of the better

298
00:17:07,800 --> 00:17:10,080
Speaker 1: defensive woman in the league against the run for the

299
00:17:10,119 --> 00:17:13,359
Speaker 1: first half of the season. Um. Chef obviously made some

300
00:17:13,400 --> 00:17:16,879
Speaker 1: big impact plays yesterday. UM. But yeah, I mean we

301
00:17:16,960 --> 00:17:20,600
Speaker 1: just got talent up and down in that room. UM,

302
00:17:20,640 --> 00:17:23,240
Speaker 1: I mean he got like a practice squad. Bronson Cafusi

303
00:17:23,320 --> 00:17:24,800
Speaker 1: is a heck of a football player. And we saw

304
00:17:25,320 --> 00:17:28,440
Speaker 1: he flashed a lot in the preseason. Um he was active,

305
00:17:28,480 --> 00:17:30,920
Speaker 1: and um, I think he just speaks to our death

306
00:17:30,960 --> 00:17:33,159
Speaker 1: that a guy like him is on the practice squad

307
00:17:33,240 --> 00:17:35,800
Speaker 1: right now. Um, a guy who who was a heck

308
00:17:35,840 --> 00:17:38,080
Speaker 1: of a football player. Um. But yeah, I mean, we

309
00:17:38,200 --> 00:17:40,560
Speaker 1: just got a lot of guys in that room that

310
00:17:40,640 --> 00:17:43,399
Speaker 1: can do different things. Rush the passer um from the

311
00:17:43,440 --> 00:17:46,480
Speaker 1: inside and the outside, and and um stop the run.

312
00:17:46,560 --> 00:17:49,840
Speaker 1: So um, so it's definitely a promising room. How much

313
00:17:49,880 --> 00:17:51,879
Speaker 1: probably did you take in the development of some of

314
00:17:51,960 --> 00:17:53,960
Speaker 1: those young guys? I wanna I know, I'm gonna talk

315
00:17:53,960 --> 00:17:56,879
Speaker 1: to Fuller runs though about you here in a minute.

316
00:17:57,280 --> 00:18:01,440
Speaker 1: But he says, literally, if Steve asked me to run

317
00:18:01,480 --> 00:18:04,800
Speaker 1: through a wall, I'll run through a wall. And I

318
00:18:04,880 --> 00:18:09,080
Speaker 1: know you tell the fellas, what's the line? The gym

319
00:18:09,480 --> 00:18:16,280
Speaker 1: is always open, always open. But what specifically with Fuller

320
00:18:16,359 --> 00:18:18,719
Speaker 1: runs off? Did you take him under your wing or

321
00:18:18,720 --> 00:18:21,119
Speaker 1: did he seek you up? So when he came in,

322
00:18:21,440 --> 00:18:25,000
Speaker 1: I just I talked to all the rookies and he

323
00:18:25,119 --> 00:18:28,600
Speaker 1: just kind of gotta attached to me, so he listened.

324
00:18:28,840 --> 00:18:31,159
Speaker 1: He kept following me, he kept asking me questions, and

325
00:18:31,200 --> 00:18:34,560
Speaker 1: I was like, all right, he wants it, So I

326
00:18:35,119 --> 00:18:38,040
Speaker 1: told him just follow me. I'll give you all the

327
00:18:38,040 --> 00:18:40,119
Speaker 1: answer to the test. It's only over to you to

328
00:18:40,200 --> 00:18:41,879
Speaker 1: answer the test. That you take the test and you

329
00:18:41,880 --> 00:18:45,080
Speaker 1: do the right things. And just to watch his development

330
00:18:45,680 --> 00:18:48,920
Speaker 1: from last year and two this year, it's absolutely amazing

331
00:18:49,320 --> 00:18:53,439
Speaker 1: because you normally don't see that in guys that can

332
00:18:53,640 --> 00:18:57,240
Speaker 1: answer the bill that fast and early in their career.

333
00:18:57,720 --> 00:19:01,520
Speaker 1: Like like Goose said, Uh, he's very dominant guy in

334
00:19:01,560 --> 00:19:04,879
Speaker 1: the run and he's gonna be very dominant in the past.

335
00:19:05,480 --> 00:19:09,400
Speaker 1: Is because he's so explosive, he's so strong, and he

336
00:19:09,520 --> 00:19:12,240
Speaker 1: understands the game. But he's want to be a student

337
00:19:12,280 --> 00:19:15,439
Speaker 1: of the game even more. And that that's that speaks

338
00:19:15,520 --> 00:19:17,040
Speaker 1: value from the rest of the guys in the locker

339
00:19:17,160 --> 00:19:20,359
Speaker 1: room and on the d line as well, because guys

340
00:19:20,440 --> 00:19:22,520
Speaker 1: now really want to be a student of the game.

341
00:19:23,000 --> 00:19:25,520
Speaker 1: They want to understand the game more so they can

342
00:19:25,560 --> 00:19:28,040
Speaker 1: be better and help them be more. That's a hell

343
00:19:28,040 --> 00:19:30,199
Speaker 1: of a compliment coming from both of you, guys. The

344
00:19:30,240 --> 00:19:35,359
Speaker 1: way you're talking about Fatikasi when Henry Anderson says that

345
00:19:35,720 --> 00:19:38,720
Speaker 1: right now he's one of the better players against the run,

346
00:19:39,160 --> 00:19:41,359
Speaker 1: not in the division, not in the conference, but in

347
00:19:41,400 --> 00:19:45,960
Speaker 1: the National Football League. Yeah. So, so I gotta ask

348
00:19:45,960 --> 00:19:48,160
Speaker 1: both of you guys this question. As the defensive back,

349
00:19:48,200 --> 00:19:50,359
Speaker 1: there are times in the game where you're facing the

350
00:19:50,400 --> 00:19:52,280
Speaker 1: opponent and you're like, man, we get I can see

351
00:19:52,280 --> 00:19:53,920
Speaker 1: it in their eyes. We're gonna lock them down. We're

352
00:19:53,920 --> 00:19:56,000
Speaker 1: gonna challenge them, you know, all games. I think we

353
00:19:56,040 --> 00:19:58,440
Speaker 1: have an edge. Is it like that on the defensive line?

354
00:19:58,440 --> 00:20:00,600
Speaker 1: And what was it that you guys saw yesterday. I'm

355
00:20:00,640 --> 00:20:02,160
Speaker 1: not trying to call anyone out on the other side

356
00:20:02,160 --> 00:20:04,960
Speaker 1: of town, but it seemed like everyone had it going

357
00:20:05,040 --> 00:20:08,000
Speaker 1: yesterday and that you maybe saw something within their scheme

358
00:20:08,040 --> 00:20:11,000
Speaker 1: that was like, all right, it's go time. Yeah. I mean,

359
00:20:11,560 --> 00:20:14,520
Speaker 1: our coaches did a good job of the week of preparation, UM,

360
00:20:14,560 --> 00:20:16,320
Speaker 1: laying out kind of what they what they want to

361
00:20:16,320 --> 00:20:19,040
Speaker 1: do on offense, UM, and how we can have success

362
00:20:19,040 --> 00:20:21,280
Speaker 1: if we if we go out and execute. We did

363
00:20:21,320 --> 00:20:24,679
Speaker 1: a good job executing on Sunday. UM. You know, we

364
00:20:24,760 --> 00:20:26,600
Speaker 1: knew that they wanted to get se Kwan going and

365
00:20:26,640 --> 00:20:29,280
Speaker 1: he and he likes to UM. Obviously he's a hard

366
00:20:29,359 --> 00:20:32,120
Speaker 1: dude to bring down. UM. We had to swarm to him,

367
00:20:32,160 --> 00:20:35,200
Speaker 1: like Steve was talking about, Uh, but yeah, it's it's

368
00:20:35,240 --> 00:20:37,399
Speaker 1: just one of those things where we had success early,

369
00:20:37,520 --> 00:20:39,720
Speaker 1: and once you have success early, you know, it goes

370
00:20:39,760 --> 00:20:41,600
Speaker 1: like everyone just kind of feeds off that. You get

371
00:20:41,600 --> 00:20:44,760
Speaker 1: into a group, you get rolling, everybody starts to you know,

372
00:20:44,840 --> 00:20:48,360
Speaker 1: feel the bring the same energy like every play, um,

373
00:20:48,400 --> 00:20:52,080
Speaker 1: and just feed off of everybody else's uh playmaking. So

374
00:20:52,880 --> 00:20:55,119
Speaker 1: we started early and we we we shut down the

375
00:20:55,160 --> 00:20:57,879
Speaker 1: run pretty early, and I think it just kind of, um,

376
00:20:57,920 --> 00:21:00,160
Speaker 1: it just kind of fueled the defense for the rest

377
00:21:00,200 --> 00:21:02,240
Speaker 1: of the game. Steven, what did it mean to you

378
00:21:02,880 --> 00:21:06,680
Speaker 1: that you guys took that early lead fourteen? Noathan, they

379
00:21:06,720 --> 00:21:11,119
Speaker 1: came back, they landed some blows, they were up, But

380
00:21:11,240 --> 00:21:15,600
Speaker 1: the way you finished the football game tending nothing in

381
00:21:15,640 --> 00:21:19,200
Speaker 1: the fourth quarter, shutting them out down the stretch, and

382
00:21:19,280 --> 00:21:22,159
Speaker 1: you yourself at a big hand in that with the

383
00:21:22,200 --> 00:21:27,040
Speaker 1: sack Lake. To be honest, we was just gonna stick

384
00:21:27,040 --> 00:21:30,159
Speaker 1: to the game plan, like we felt their energy from

385
00:21:30,240 --> 00:21:34,240
Speaker 1: the first snap. Like I said before, for me, when

386
00:21:34,280 --> 00:21:37,880
Speaker 1: I look across the line, if you show any weakness

387
00:21:38,680 --> 00:21:42,480
Speaker 1: in the desire to quit, are you fatigued? That's only

388
00:21:42,520 --> 00:21:47,680
Speaker 1: gonna feed us more energy. And I felt like yesterday

389
00:21:48,359 --> 00:21:53,080
Speaker 1: when we have eleven guys on defense feeling I'm talking

390
00:21:53,080 --> 00:21:57,200
Speaker 1: about feeling invincible. Everybody that stepped on the field had

391
00:21:57,280 --> 00:22:00,639
Speaker 1: no doubt. Then when you look across the side of

392
00:22:00,640 --> 00:22:02,960
Speaker 1: the ball, they just didn't have the same energy as

393
00:22:02,960 --> 00:22:07,000
Speaker 1: we did. Um not taking any shots at anyone. It's

394
00:22:07,040 --> 00:22:10,800
Speaker 1: just a sip of fact. Our energy was unmatched just today,

395
00:22:11,200 --> 00:22:14,960
Speaker 1: and I feel like that's what drove us to be

396
00:22:15,119 --> 00:22:17,480
Speaker 1: even like better. That's why I know. Like I told

397
00:22:17,480 --> 00:22:20,200
Speaker 1: the guys, I was like, listen, man, Me and Jamal

398
00:22:20,280 --> 00:22:24,440
Speaker 1: both said him, step your game up these last four

399
00:22:24,520 --> 00:22:27,760
Speaker 1: or five minutes in the game. Level up, level up

400
00:22:27,840 --> 00:22:31,960
Speaker 1: right now. And the guy's answered. When you can say

401
00:22:32,000 --> 00:22:34,280
Speaker 1: something on the sideline and guys taken onto the field,

402
00:22:34,880 --> 00:22:37,320
Speaker 1: that's when you know you have something special. And that's

403
00:22:37,359 --> 00:22:40,440
Speaker 1: what That's what happened yesterday. Man, it was totally totally

404
00:22:40,640 --> 00:22:43,600
Speaker 1: just different energy. You know, we watched them, did their

405
00:22:43,640 --> 00:22:46,280
Speaker 1: defense get a stop? We're going to field get a

406
00:22:46,320 --> 00:22:49,800
Speaker 1: stop their offense and make a play. Our offense will

407
00:22:49,800 --> 00:22:52,719
Speaker 1: make a play, and then special teams will go out

408
00:22:52,720 --> 00:22:54,560
Speaker 1: there and cover and defense and go out there and

409
00:22:54,600 --> 00:22:56,800
Speaker 1: make a stop. It's just like who was gonna last

410
00:22:57,080 --> 00:22:59,760
Speaker 1: the longest with the best energy. And I feel like

411
00:22:59,800 --> 00:23:02,199
Speaker 1: that's what happened with us, We just lasted longer with

412
00:23:02,280 --> 00:23:05,119
Speaker 1: better energy. And you mentioned Jamal Adams. I mean, he

413
00:23:05,160 --> 00:23:07,119
Speaker 1: had in one heck of a game yesterday and it

414
00:23:07,200 --> 00:23:09,800
Speaker 1: seemed like he really cranked his energy up. How much

415
00:23:09,800 --> 00:23:12,400
Speaker 1: do the guy's feed off of Jamal's energy as well?

416
00:23:12,480 --> 00:23:14,720
Speaker 1: Obviously you know the guy's feed off you up front,

417
00:23:14,880 --> 00:23:17,200
Speaker 1: but on that back end, how how do you feed

418
00:23:17,240 --> 00:23:21,840
Speaker 1: off Jamal? Well, Jamal always says it's one thing. He

419
00:23:21,880 --> 00:23:24,119
Speaker 1: don't really he's really trying not to give too many speeches.

420
00:23:24,160 --> 00:23:26,359
Speaker 1: But when you do, he say, match my match, my

421
00:23:26,480 --> 00:23:31,960
Speaker 1: energy match, my intensity match, my wheel match, my wheel

422
00:23:32,000 --> 00:23:36,679
Speaker 1: to fight today. And when he says that, you know

423
00:23:36,800 --> 00:23:39,720
Speaker 1: his own, you know his own like so like I

424
00:23:39,800 --> 00:23:43,679
Speaker 1: told him, I was that man, just stay calm and

425
00:23:43,720 --> 00:23:46,720
Speaker 1: play your style of football. Then once we get on

426
00:23:46,760 --> 00:23:49,320
Speaker 1: the field, you can hear him, you know, as you

427
00:23:49,359 --> 00:23:50,919
Speaker 1: know it's you know, it's like one of those moments

428
00:23:51,000 --> 00:23:55,159
Speaker 1: like he's about to do something because you start hearing him,

429
00:23:55,280 --> 00:23:57,840
Speaker 1: and and then he just seemed like the moments you

430
00:23:57,840 --> 00:24:01,040
Speaker 1: saw yesterday. But like that's just nothing, It's just not him,

431
00:24:01,080 --> 00:24:03,520
Speaker 1: you know. On that play, that one big play when

432
00:24:03,520 --> 00:24:05,800
Speaker 1: he scored. Like I went back and looked at it

433
00:24:05,840 --> 00:24:08,640
Speaker 1: the day. You should have seen how many people were

434
00:24:08,680 --> 00:24:14,480
Speaker 1: in the quarterback phase goose folding. Uh, Like it was

435
00:24:14,520 --> 00:24:18,679
Speaker 1: just like everybody had nowhere to go, absolutely nowhere to go.

436
00:24:18,840 --> 00:24:21,800
Speaker 1: So once he took that ball, we just knew it

437
00:24:21,840 --> 00:24:23,439
Speaker 1: was part of the ends on. But what's so funny

438
00:24:23,440 --> 00:24:26,399
Speaker 1: about it? Right before we took the field, I told

439
00:24:26,720 --> 00:24:28,800
Speaker 1: I told everybody, said we need a picture in the

440
00:24:28,880 --> 00:24:31,399
Speaker 1: end zone. And he was like, okay, I got you, bro.

441
00:24:31,680 --> 00:24:34,720
Speaker 1: I said, we need it right now, and we went

442
00:24:34,760 --> 00:24:38,600
Speaker 1: out there and we did it. Henry, how do you

443
00:24:38,640 --> 00:24:42,200
Speaker 1: guys carry this over now? Like Steve is talking about

444
00:24:42,240 --> 00:24:46,840
Speaker 1: that feeling, the emotion that you guys had it and

445
00:24:46,920 --> 00:24:49,359
Speaker 1: you weren't gonna let anybody take it away from you.

446
00:24:49,720 --> 00:24:51,960
Speaker 1: Now as you go to Washington and try to secure

447
00:24:52,320 --> 00:24:57,639
Speaker 1: a second consecutive victory against Adrian Peterson, the wily veteran,

448
00:24:57,760 --> 00:24:59,840
Speaker 1: you know what he's gonna bring to the table and

449
00:25:00,080 --> 00:25:03,719
Speaker 1: rookie quarterback in dayne Haskins. Yeah, I mean I think,

450
00:25:03,840 --> 00:25:08,879
Speaker 1: obviously enjoy this when twenty four hours uh, and then

451
00:25:08,960 --> 00:25:11,399
Speaker 1: I mean, build off, build off the positives that we

452
00:25:11,440 --> 00:25:13,040
Speaker 1: showed in this in this game, I think we did

453
00:25:13,040 --> 00:25:15,800
Speaker 1: a good job obviously stopping the run. Um, we need

454
00:25:15,800 --> 00:25:18,400
Speaker 1: to do a better job. Um. You know, up front,

455
00:25:18,480 --> 00:25:21,199
Speaker 1: I think running out of the stack. They had some

456
00:25:21,240 --> 00:25:24,879
Speaker 1: explosive passes against us yesterday. UM, and I think we gotta,

457
00:25:25,240 --> 00:25:28,760
Speaker 1: you know, continue to work on that. Uh. And up front,

458
00:25:28,840 --> 00:25:30,959
Speaker 1: I mean we're always trying to to get better at

459
00:25:31,119 --> 00:25:33,560
Speaker 1: um getting after the pastors. So I mean, just build

460

491
00:27:34,400 --> 00:27:37,600
Speaker 1: tell me what's happening up front? Uh right now, you

492
00:27:37,640 --> 00:27:41,440
Speaker 1: guys are dominating, and we saw that against the Giants

493
00:27:41,720 --> 00:27:44,760
Speaker 1: in terms of that rush defense. No team better than

494
00:27:44,760 --> 00:27:47,440
Speaker 1: the National Football League. Your second in NFL in terms

495
00:27:47,440 --> 00:27:49,520
Speaker 1: of yards per game, but I look at it yards

496
00:27:49,520 --> 00:27:54,879
Speaker 1: per carry three point oh and sa Kwon Barkley thirteen,

497
00:27:54,920 --> 00:27:57,440
Speaker 1: Carrey's one yard. He's gonna play a long time in

498
00:27:57,440 --> 00:28:00,840
Speaker 1: the NFL. He's a Hall of Fame talent. It He'll

499
00:28:00,960 --> 00:28:04,440
Speaker 1: never have a stat line like that again, never, Well,

500
00:28:04,480 --> 00:28:09,359
Speaker 1: what's happening up front? Man? Shoot? I just I would

501
00:28:09,400 --> 00:28:12,840
Speaker 1: just say it was just locking in and uh, take advent,

502
00:28:13,000 --> 00:28:16,040
Speaker 1: taking advantage of the opportunities that we're a getting, and

503
00:28:16,280 --> 00:28:19,399
Speaker 1: um sticking to the game plan and just just pretty

504
00:28:19,480 --> 00:28:23,360
Speaker 1: much just going about it. Was great. Um, I think

505
00:28:23,359 --> 00:28:26,520
Speaker 1: we definitely gained a little bit of momentum this last

506
00:28:26,560 --> 00:28:30,840
Speaker 1: past game. And uh, I think a lot of success

507
00:28:31,400 --> 00:28:33,520
Speaker 1: was just part of the fact that we continued with

508
00:28:33,600 --> 00:28:36,639
Speaker 1: that and didn't let didn't let the ball stop her

509
00:28:36,640 --> 00:28:41,000
Speaker 1: own first career sacked for you, yes, sir, and you

510
00:28:41,200 --> 00:28:43,680
Speaker 1: probably should have had a second one. But the recipentally

511
00:28:43,760 --> 00:28:48,000
Speaker 1: defensive backfail told let's talk about your first career sack

512
00:28:48,320 --> 00:28:52,240
Speaker 1: to take us through the play. Okay, So after the game,

513
00:28:52,280 --> 00:28:58,120
Speaker 1: I honestly didn't remember anything. So actually I'll talk about

514
00:28:58,160 --> 00:28:59,880
Speaker 1: the first one that I actually thought I got, but

515
00:29:00,080 --> 00:29:04,080
Speaker 1: for um before the penalty. So I had a pleasure

516
00:29:04,160 --> 00:29:07,520
Speaker 1: going against wildernand Is Um. I first went against him

517
00:29:07,560 --> 00:29:11,920
Speaker 1: in it was like the Senior Bowl prior to the draft,

518
00:29:12,520 --> 00:29:15,360
Speaker 1: and not all of people noticed, but I actually broke

519
00:29:15,440 --> 00:29:18,320
Speaker 1: my hand going up against him. That's right, because you

520
00:29:18,360 --> 00:29:20,360
Speaker 1: were having an impressive suit and see your ball thatever.

521
00:29:20,440 --> 00:29:22,840
Speaker 1: They're like, who's this guy from four Day State? Yeah,

522
00:29:22,960 --> 00:29:25,600
Speaker 1: and like I literally went up against him again, He's

523
00:29:25,640 --> 00:29:29,200
Speaker 1: a freight train boom, and my hand just broke and

524
00:29:29,280 --> 00:29:31,200
Speaker 1: I was like, damn. That was the first time I

525
00:29:31,200 --> 00:29:34,320
Speaker 1: actually like broke something, had a serious injury football wise,

526
00:29:34,800 --> 00:29:37,360
Speaker 1: and it was just really crazy to come full circle

527
00:29:37,440 --> 00:29:41,400
Speaker 1: and see, hey, you know, against the same, similar, same

528
00:29:41,440 --> 00:29:44,160
Speaker 1: competition to be able to be successful later on. So

529
00:29:44,480 --> 00:29:47,600
Speaker 1: that was just like something on you know, I can

530
00:29:47,640 --> 00:29:49,880
Speaker 1: pat myself on the back and just remember that, you know,

531
00:29:49,920 --> 00:29:52,880
Speaker 1: whatever adversities you face, just you know, to keep keep

532
00:29:53,400 --> 00:29:55,239
Speaker 1: working through that because you never know how things are

533
00:29:55,240 --> 00:29:59,040
Speaker 1: gonna pan out in the future. But the sack itself

534
00:30:00,080 --> 00:30:03,120
Speaker 1: actual self, um, you just said, you just kept on

535
00:30:03,240 --> 00:30:06,240
Speaker 1: coming on. They push up the middle. Yeah, So I

536
00:30:06,280 --> 00:30:09,040
Speaker 1: mean we just we just worked on stating that our

537
00:30:09,080 --> 00:30:12,240
Speaker 1: rush lanes, and I mean we work as a cohesive union.

538
00:30:12,280 --> 00:30:13,920
Speaker 1: I know Jordan Jenkins, he's I don't think he was

539
00:30:14,000 --> 00:30:16,120
Speaker 1: able to make it tonight, but like when I looked

540
00:30:16,120 --> 00:30:18,640
Speaker 1: at the film, he was able to get the first

541
00:30:18,880 --> 00:30:21,280
Speaker 1: pressure there and actually had a hand on the Jerseys

542
00:30:21,320 --> 00:30:24,040
Speaker 1: forced quarterback to step up in the pocket. And I

543
00:30:24,120 --> 00:30:26,440
Speaker 1: was in my rush lanes and was able to you know,

544
00:30:26,520 --> 00:30:29,120
Speaker 1: benefit from that. So like I was able to come

545
00:30:29,200 --> 00:30:31,640
Speaker 1: up with the stat But it's definitely a group effort

546
00:30:31,640 --> 00:30:35,320
Speaker 1: for sure. I mean you look at Jamal's amazing play,

547
00:30:35,440 --> 00:30:37,720
Speaker 1: like ridiculous, but if you look at like, if you

548
00:30:37,760 --> 00:30:40,360
Speaker 1: look at the play, the reason the quarterback wasn't able

549
00:30:40,360 --> 00:30:43,480
Speaker 1: to escape is because Foley had pushed back the old

550
00:30:43,480 --> 00:30:46,360
Speaker 1: lineman right into his lap. Jamal just comes in. So

551
00:30:46,400 --> 00:30:49,280
Speaker 1: it's complimentary football. What is going on with you right now?

552
00:30:49,440 --> 00:30:53,000
Speaker 1: You're breaking out? Man? You had two veterans up here

553
00:30:53,120 --> 00:30:57,280
Speaker 1: right now. Don't throw around praise too often because you

554
00:30:57,360 --> 00:31:01,080
Speaker 1: know Steve, You've latched on the big Steve and you

555
00:31:01,080 --> 00:31:03,040
Speaker 1: know he just wants to but he keep their head

556
00:31:03,080 --> 00:31:07,360
Speaker 1: down and keep working. But they just said, Henry Anderson

557
00:31:07,440 --> 00:31:10,480
Speaker 1: just said you are one of the better best run

558
00:31:10,560 --> 00:31:15,000
Speaker 1: stuffers in the National Football League, and McClendon echoed those sentiments.

559
00:31:16,440 --> 00:31:20,400
Speaker 1: I mean, you know, it's an honor to be respected

560
00:31:20,400 --> 00:31:23,240
Speaker 1: by my teammates like that. Um, But one thing that

561
00:31:24,360 --> 00:31:26,920
Speaker 1: always echoes in our is that the work never stops

562
00:31:26,920 --> 00:31:29,200
Speaker 1: and you just always have to progress forward and continue

563
00:31:29,200 --> 00:31:32,520
Speaker 1: to work. You know. Um, it's great to be respected

564
00:31:32,520 --> 00:31:36,000
Speaker 1: by others, but you know, if you stop the work

565
00:31:36,400 --> 00:31:39,720
Speaker 1: you know you can, you won't benefit as much, you

566
00:31:39,760 --> 00:31:41,120
Speaker 1: know what I'm saying, if you won't do as well

567
00:31:41,160 --> 00:31:43,520
Speaker 1: as you want to do. So one thing we definitely

568
00:31:43,560 --> 00:31:45,480
Speaker 1: take from Big Steve you know, and all the other

569
00:31:45,560 --> 00:31:47,320
Speaker 1: vets in the MOOM, and one thing as a as

570
00:31:47,360 --> 00:31:49,280
Speaker 1: a collective unit that we agree on is that we

571
00:31:49,360 --> 00:31:52,520
Speaker 1: must continue to work. You must continue to take take

572
00:31:52,600 --> 00:31:55,720
Speaker 1: steps forward. So that's pretty much the mindset and that

573
00:31:55,880 --> 00:31:59,040
Speaker 1: in that sense absolutely they say success is rented. You

574
00:31:59,040 --> 00:32:00,880
Speaker 1: gotta pay rent every day when you go to work.

575
00:32:01,440 --> 00:32:04,960
Speaker 1: But so obviously it was probably strange for you guys

576
00:32:05,000 --> 00:32:07,400
Speaker 1: coming into the league. Leonard Williams has always been in

577
00:32:07,440 --> 00:32:09,480
Speaker 1: your room and seeing him on the other side, it

578
00:32:09,560 --> 00:32:12,520
Speaker 1: must have been strange. But when I think of them

579
00:32:12,560 --> 00:32:14,960
Speaker 1: trading Leonard Williams over to the Giants, that must speak

580
00:32:15,000 --> 00:32:18,360
Speaker 1: for the confidence they having you young players, how much?

581
00:32:18,640 --> 00:32:20,120
Speaker 1: How do you take that as a challenge? Do you

582
00:32:20,120 --> 00:32:22,000
Speaker 1: take it as a challenge when they send Leonard somewhere

583
00:32:22,120 --> 00:32:23,760
Speaker 1: and say, listen, we gotta step it up, because it

584
00:32:23,800 --> 00:32:26,240
Speaker 1: really looked like you got stepped up your game yesterday

585
00:32:26,400 --> 00:32:32,200
Speaker 1: against the Giants. I mean really, Um, something that I

586
00:32:32,200 --> 00:32:33,880
Speaker 1: feel like we would all agree on is something that

587
00:32:34,680 --> 00:32:36,840
Speaker 1: I believe that we that we agree on is that

588
00:32:38,440 --> 00:32:41,080
Speaker 1: Leo's obviously was a big part of our room, and

589
00:32:41,120 --> 00:32:43,000
Speaker 1: you know, and and him leaving, you know, it was

590
00:32:43,040 --> 00:32:45,080
Speaker 1: a big part that was leaving. You know what I'm saying.

591
00:32:45,160 --> 00:32:47,280
Speaker 1: But one thing I know for a fact that Leo

592
00:32:47,360 --> 00:32:50,400
Speaker 1: wouldn't want he wouldn't want us to take a step back,

593
00:32:51,040 --> 00:32:52,720
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying, Because Leo had the same

594
00:32:52,760 --> 00:32:55,080
Speaker 1: mindset and I was like, moving forward makes you guys,

595
00:32:55,120 --> 00:32:57,320
Speaker 1: move forward? The show must go on, you know what

596
00:32:57,320 --> 00:33:01,680
Speaker 1: I'm saying. Well, I'm there or not, you know, you know, Uh,

597
00:33:01,840 --> 00:33:04,800
Speaker 1: that's just that's just you know how it is to

598
00:33:04,880 --> 00:33:07,400
Speaker 1: add on that, you know, Um, when I got the news,

599
00:33:07,800 --> 00:33:09,640
Speaker 1: first thing that came to my mind or the first

600
00:33:09,720 --> 00:33:13,440
Speaker 1: or second thing that came from my mind is like, yo, football, NFL,

601
00:33:13,920 --> 00:33:20,280
Speaker 1: beautiful sport, beautiful sport, ugly business, you know. So, Um,

602
00:33:20,320 --> 00:33:25,760
Speaker 1: definitely very difficult to to like bond with someone, to

603
00:33:25,920 --> 00:33:30,080
Speaker 1: have someone mentor you, and then to initially it's like

604
00:33:30,360 --> 00:33:32,880
Speaker 1: it's very difficult to see them leave. But then on

605
00:33:32,920 --> 00:33:35,680
Speaker 1: the other side, it's like, I mean, he's not dead,

606
00:33:35,840 --> 00:33:38,600
Speaker 1: you know what I mean. He has been given another

607
00:33:38,600 --> 00:33:42,920
Speaker 1: opportunity somewhere else to perform. So I'm like, why, why

608
00:33:42,920 --> 00:33:45,920
Speaker 1: why harp on that? Why be upset about that? Um?

609
00:33:45,960 --> 00:33:48,200
Speaker 1: You know, all good things come to an end. You know,

610
00:33:48,240 --> 00:33:50,600
Speaker 1: we know this to be true, and it just made

611
00:33:50,600 --> 00:33:53,680
Speaker 1: the time being able to learn from him, um work

612
00:33:53,920 --> 00:33:56,400
Speaker 1: you know, underneath him and and and watch him just

613
00:33:56,480 --> 00:34:01,520
Speaker 1: that much more valuable. We got about seconds until a break.

614
00:34:02,240 --> 00:34:05,200
Speaker 1: This is a load of question, but I gotta ask it.

615
00:34:05,600 --> 00:34:12,040
Speaker 1: How have you guys individually grown from your rookie years

616
00:34:12,680 --> 00:34:16,520
Speaker 1: when you played one game? I think we're active one

617
00:34:16,560 --> 00:34:20,560
Speaker 1: game and also the professional maturity because you owned up

618
00:34:20,600 --> 00:34:24,440
Speaker 1: to something, the mistake you made that kept it suspended

619
00:34:24,520 --> 00:34:27,000
Speaker 1: for six games, and you seem like a different person.

620
00:34:27,280 --> 00:34:30,280
Speaker 1: So I mean, that's loaded. So we got twenty seconds.

621
00:34:30,320 --> 00:34:31,880
Speaker 1: So I don't even know if you all can handle

622
00:34:31,920 --> 00:34:34,319
Speaker 1: that in twenty seconds. Uh? Can we keep you on

623
00:34:34,360 --> 00:34:38,160
Speaker 1: for another segment? Maybe you start off. I need to

624

Speaker 1: think about this then. Uh yeah, I actually give you

625
00:34:42,120 --> 00:34:44,759
Speaker 1: some time to think about Yeah, so you guys think

626
00:34:44,760 --> 00:34:47,080
Speaker 1: about this. We're gonna bring it back after the break,

643
00:36:01,320 --> 00:36:05,600
Speaker 1: think about this before the break. Let's talk about professional maturity,

644
00:36:05,760 --> 00:36:08,480
Speaker 1: full and runs. Starting with you. You played, you were

645
00:36:08,520 --> 00:36:11,640
Speaker 1: a sixth round pick, you played one game. A lot

646
00:36:11,719 --> 00:36:14,920
Speaker 1: of players in the National Football League would be buried

647
00:36:15,000 --> 00:36:21,320
Speaker 1: mentally after that, but instead you became a better player

648
00:36:22,200 --> 00:36:27,359
Speaker 1: and you are a valuable pieces defensive line rotation. Where

649
00:36:27,360 --> 00:36:29,600
Speaker 1: are you point to in terms of your growth? How

650
00:36:29,640 --> 00:36:33,680
Speaker 1: did that happen? And were you ever mentally down in

651
00:36:33,840 --> 00:36:37,600
Speaker 1: terms of it's not coming right now? Um? Well, first

652
00:36:37,600 --> 00:36:39,520
Speaker 1: and foremost I'd like the person to say that is

653
00:36:39,600 --> 00:36:41,520
Speaker 1: it was not by my strength. And I'm a person

654
00:36:41,560 --> 00:36:43,960
Speaker 1: in faith, and I feel like, you know, through my

655
00:36:44,000 --> 00:36:47,160
Speaker 1: faith that I was able to overcome, you know, just

656
00:36:47,160 --> 00:36:49,799
Speaker 1: just the little bit of adversities, you know, with that,

657
00:36:49,920 --> 00:36:52,920
Speaker 1: and um, I just understood that I'd have to just

658
00:36:52,960 --> 00:36:55,760
Speaker 1: continue to keep my head down and to keep chopping

659
00:36:55,800 --> 00:36:57,840
Speaker 1: and keep working. And that's something that you know, Steve,

660
00:36:58,000 --> 00:36:59,480
Speaker 1: and like the rest of the Vets and even the

661
00:36:59,600 --> 00:37:01,960
Speaker 1: entire him like, we believe in it, just to keep chopping.

662
00:37:02,360 --> 00:37:05,399
Speaker 1: So I believe that, you know, being able to look

663
00:37:05,920 --> 00:37:07,760
Speaker 1: in the face of adversion and be able to smile

664
00:37:07,800 --> 00:37:09,880
Speaker 1: in me and to keep working is what really allowed

665
00:37:09,920 --> 00:37:12,360
Speaker 1: me to grow, you know. And and and having a

666
00:37:12,400 --> 00:37:14,800
Speaker 1: great group of guys around me to continue to mode

667
00:37:14,800 --> 00:37:17,319
Speaker 1: me and to continue to just mode my my mind set,

668
00:37:17,880 --> 00:37:20,880
Speaker 1: um is what really helped me. Was there a specific

669
00:37:20,960 --> 00:37:24,640
Speaker 1: moment where that light turned on and he said, you

670
00:37:24,680 --> 00:37:28,440
Speaker 1: know what it's coming, right now, it's coming. Um. I

671
00:37:28,560 --> 00:37:30,840
Speaker 1: just had to just really just work on just continue

672
00:37:30,880 --> 00:37:33,840
Speaker 1: to be patient and continue and continue to work and

673
00:37:33,840 --> 00:37:36,480
Speaker 1: continue to ask questions and to continue to be persistent,

674
00:37:36,880 --> 00:37:39,480
Speaker 1: you know. And I felt like, hey, you know them,

675
00:37:39,480 --> 00:37:41,200
Speaker 1: want to stay prepared, you know what I mean, I

676
00:37:41,239 --> 00:37:44,000
Speaker 1: won't have to. It won't be no lack. There won't

677
00:37:44,000 --> 00:37:46,080
Speaker 1: be any lacks. I just stay prepared and stayed on

678
00:37:46,120 --> 00:37:49,239
Speaker 1: top of my preparation. How about you six games suspension

679
00:37:49,280 --> 00:37:51,319
Speaker 1: to start the year. You were a third round pick

680
00:37:51,360 --> 00:37:54,680
Speaker 1: for four Hayes State two thousand and eighteen. You'll open

681
00:37:54,960 --> 00:37:57,120
Speaker 1: you were open about this he took said you took

682
00:37:57,120 --> 00:38:00,680
Speaker 1: a banded substance. Wasn't feeling about confident about where you

683
00:38:00,760 --> 00:38:05,520
Speaker 1: were physically. Uh, instead of putting your head down, you

684
00:38:05,640 --> 00:38:09,759
Speaker 1: picked yourself up. How have you changed as a guy

685
00:38:09,840 --> 00:38:17,560
Speaker 1: from what happened? M Well, I would say out, I

686
00:38:17,600 --> 00:38:20,360
Speaker 1: definitely didn't start by picking my head up at first.

687
00:38:20,480 --> 00:38:22,880
Speaker 1: You know, Um, I guess in order to pick your

688
00:38:22,880 --> 00:38:24,680
Speaker 1: head up, your head asked me down. So I do

689
00:38:24,800 --> 00:38:27,920
Speaker 1: want to start at where that, um, where I was

690
00:38:27,960 --> 00:38:31,879
Speaker 1: with that. I remember when I found out and having

691
00:38:31,920 --> 00:38:35,600
Speaker 1: to go tell my coaches, um, like again, it was

692
00:38:35,600 --> 00:38:40,040
Speaker 1: still too surreal to fathom, like what was gonna happen

693
00:38:40,200 --> 00:38:43,239
Speaker 1: or how my emotions were gonna be. But I mean

694
00:38:44,000 --> 00:38:46,480
Speaker 1: I always remember after I told Coach Case, he was like,

695
00:38:46,680 --> 00:38:49,440
Speaker 1: so what now? What was his biggest his biggest thing

696
00:38:49,440 --> 00:38:51,960
Speaker 1: that he preached to me? And taking what I took

697
00:38:51,960 --> 00:38:54,560
Speaker 1: away from that is just like, Okay, this has happened.

698
00:38:55,840 --> 00:38:59,880
Speaker 1: How are you going to determine what happens next? Like,

699
00:39:00,000 --> 00:39:02,640
Speaker 1: how are you going to write history? You know? And

700
00:39:03,280 --> 00:39:06,680
Speaker 1: part of me, you know, my part of the process

701
00:39:06,719 --> 00:39:11,640
Speaker 1: that I went through, and um, you know the disappointment

702
00:39:11,719 --> 00:39:14,280
Speaker 1: that I had with the you know, having to suffer

703
00:39:14,320 --> 00:39:18,479
Speaker 1: suffer these consequences just helped propel me to be like, look,

704
00:39:18,600 --> 00:39:22,360
Speaker 1: you can right this wrong by your performance on the field.

705
00:39:22,920 --> 00:39:25,520
Speaker 1: So it just came into like, as much as you

706
00:39:25,600 --> 00:39:27,960
Speaker 1: dislike what's going on right now, you can go ahead

707
00:39:28,160 --> 00:39:32,359
Speaker 1: and rewrite that when you get back. So it was basically, I,

708
00:39:32,280 --> 00:39:34,279
Speaker 1: I really dislike what's going on right now, So let

709
00:39:34,280 --> 00:39:38,560
Speaker 1: me just put all that effort into you know, giving

710
00:39:38,680 --> 00:39:41,160
Speaker 1: to my team the best that I can. And how

711
00:39:41,239 --> 00:39:43,720
Speaker 1: much you know, both for both of you players. Uh,

712
00:39:43,760 --> 00:39:45,560
Speaker 1: you know, how much did you lean on your group?

713
00:39:45,719 --> 00:39:47,759
Speaker 1: You know, I know that there's a great bond in

714
00:39:47,800 --> 00:39:50,560
Speaker 1: that defensive line room, you know, starting with Steve McClinton,

715
00:39:50,800 --> 00:39:53,640
Speaker 1: Henry Anderson. Uh, you know, how did you lean on

716
00:39:53,680 --> 00:39:55,399
Speaker 1: each other? And how do you continue to push each

717
00:39:55,440 --> 00:39:57,880
Speaker 1: other through that, through those tough times that you may

718
00:39:57,920 --> 00:40:01,120
Speaker 1: have had and through the success. Man, we we have

719
00:40:01,280 --> 00:40:04,200
Speaker 1: some great, some great great guys in the room, starting

720
00:40:04,200 --> 00:40:06,520
Speaker 1: off with you know, yo, G you know Steve, you know,

721
00:40:06,680 --> 00:40:11,160
Speaker 1: um man like keeping each other accountable, you know what

722
00:40:11,200 --> 00:40:13,640
Speaker 1: I'm saying, being real with one another, with one another,

723
00:40:13,760 --> 00:40:16,400
Speaker 1: not lying to one another, but then again understanding that

724
00:40:16,440 --> 00:40:18,040
Speaker 1: you know, we're all humans and we need to pick

725
00:40:18,080 --> 00:40:21,160
Speaker 1: each other up. So I would say, man, the love

726
00:40:21,200 --> 00:40:23,320
Speaker 1: in that room and the camaraderie and a room is

727
00:40:23,360 --> 00:40:26,400
Speaker 1: what keeps us, you know, a tight knit group. Yeah. Well,

728
00:40:26,800 --> 00:40:28,560
Speaker 1: I also want to commend you guys, you know, being

729
00:40:28,640 --> 00:40:31,000
Speaker 1: young players and finding the veteran in the in your

730
00:40:31,040 --> 00:40:33,680
Speaker 1: position group to get in this pocket to learn the

731
00:40:33,719 --> 00:40:35,719
Speaker 1: tricks of the trade. You know, I was fortunate when

732
00:40:35,719 --> 00:40:37,839
Speaker 1: I played I had you know, guys from Reggie Tongue

00:40:42,520 --> 00:40:45,160
Speaker 1: there was a veteran who had been to been to

736
00:40:45,200 --> 00:40:47,280
Speaker 1: a place that I wanted to be. So I commend

737
00:40:47,280 --> 00:40:49,440

738
00:40:49,440 --> 00:40:54,319
Speaker 1: out that that knowledge from those older guys. Um. Just

739
00:40:54,360 --> 00:40:57,560
Speaker 1: to add on that, I remember, like when everything went down,

740
00:40:57,560 --> 00:41:00,000
Speaker 1: Steve was the first person I told in the building,

741
00:41:01,600 --> 00:41:05,760
Speaker 1: And I mean I actually remember. So when I called

742

Speaker 1: the like you get you get, you get a fed X.

743
00:41:09,360 --> 00:41:10,919
Speaker 1: There's a number on it, and You're trying to figure

744
00:41:10,960 --> 00:41:13,520
Speaker 1: out what's happening. And I'm on the phone with the

745
00:41:13,560 --> 00:41:16,680
Speaker 1: doctors saying, you know that this is your test result.

746
00:41:16,960 --> 00:41:19,319
Speaker 1: And Sea walks by and he can already see in

747
00:41:19,360 --> 00:41:23,480
Speaker 1: my face like something's going on. And maybe thirty minutes

748
00:41:23,560 --> 00:41:24,920
Speaker 1: later I go up to talk to him and he

749
00:41:24,960 --> 00:41:27,480
Speaker 1: already knows, like yo, I can see by your face.

750
00:41:27,520 --> 00:41:30,960
Speaker 1: Sum's up. Let's sit down. We talked about it and

751
00:41:31,200 --> 00:41:33,799
Speaker 1: just kind of helps coaching me up with, you know,

752
00:41:34,160 --> 00:41:37,239
Speaker 1: helps me find what my next step is. And from then,

753
00:41:37,400 --> 00:41:40,880
Speaker 1: you know, things just kind of kind of happened. What

754
00:41:40,960 --> 00:41:43,200
Speaker 1: do you guys think about the matchup Sunday against the

755
00:41:43,239 --> 00:41:46,400
Speaker 1: Washington Redskins. You're gonna be seeing a lot of Adrian

756
00:41:46,440 --> 00:41:48,480
Speaker 1: Peterson as they got a rookie quarterback, but again the

757
00:41:48,520 --> 00:41:53,480
Speaker 1: second NFL start, and all Day still can bring it.

758
00:41:53,560 --> 00:41:55,280
Speaker 1: He's been in the league for a number of years.

759
00:41:55,600 --> 00:41:59,600
Speaker 1: Full of runs though, But listen, a p that is

760
00:41:59,600 --> 00:42:02,319
Speaker 1: gonna be That's gonna be dope. I think that's gonna

761
00:42:02,360 --> 00:42:04,759
Speaker 1: be a very fun game. As watching him growing up,

762
00:42:04,840 --> 00:42:08,040
Speaker 1: watching him while growing up as a good and he

763
00:42:08,160 --> 00:42:10,320
Speaker 1: still got there. I don't think he missed a step,

764
00:42:10,360 --> 00:42:12,120
Speaker 1: and I think it's gonna be really fun. I think

765
00:42:12,120 --> 00:42:14,319
Speaker 1: it's gonna be a really good test because man, he's

766
00:42:14,480 --> 00:42:17,920
Speaker 1: that man's gonna get a girl, Jackie. Yeah, Like I

767
00:42:17,960 --> 00:42:21,400
Speaker 1: mean we weren talking about in the locker room. Um,

768
00:42:21,440 --> 00:42:26,200
Speaker 1: you know, sometimes you you look at offensive players that

769
00:42:26,280 --> 00:42:30,120
Speaker 1: are you know, very explosive and just once in the generation,

770
00:42:30,719 --> 00:42:34,400
Speaker 1: and at times it's like they'll have great games and

771
00:42:34,440 --> 00:42:36,560
Speaker 1: maybe other games they won't have such great games. And

772
00:42:36,640 --> 00:42:39,680
Speaker 1: you look at what the defense did. Um some people

773
00:42:39,719 --> 00:42:41,520
Speaker 1: call it. You know, maybe that player he had a

774
00:42:41,560 --> 00:42:43,719
Speaker 1: bad game where he checked out or whatever, and it's

775
00:42:43,800 --> 00:42:46,520
Speaker 1: like this week is like, you don't make it this

776
00:42:46,600 --> 00:42:49,279
Speaker 1: many years being a player who checks out and in

777
00:42:49,360 --> 00:42:51,439
Speaker 1: any game. So that's what I've heard. It's like, hey,

778
00:42:51,800 --> 00:42:54,160
Speaker 1: no matter what what, no matter what the score is,

779
00:42:54,840 --> 00:42:57,879
Speaker 1: hey he's not checking out. So first quarter, second quarter,

780
00:42:57,920 --> 00:43:01,200
Speaker 1: third quarter, fourth quarter, just be ready to bring it.

781
00:43:01,280 --> 00:43:03,480
Speaker 1: Is UH to add on to what you're saying. I

782
00:43:03,480 --> 00:43:05,880
Speaker 1: played against Adrian Peterson many times. I played in this

783
00:43:05,960 --> 00:43:08,160
Speaker 1: division of my last two years, and every time we

784
00:43:08,200 --> 00:43:11,040
Speaker 1: played against him. I'll talk to the last time Detroit

785
00:43:11,080 --> 00:43:13,799
Speaker 1: lines I played for Gunther cutting him in our meeting room.

786
00:43:14,160 --> 00:43:19,920
Speaker 1: He said, we held Adrian Peterson to yards on nineteen carries.

787
00:43:20,360 --> 00:43:21,799
Speaker 1: If we would have done that, we would have won.

788
00:43:21,920 --> 00:43:23,840
Speaker 1: But those four carries where he gassed us for a

789
00:43:23,920 --> 00:43:26,400
Speaker 1: hundred and ten yards, that's where we lost it. Because

790
00:43:26,400 --> 00:43:28,640
Speaker 1: you can do everything right, you can you know, continue

791
00:43:28,640 --> 00:43:30,920
Speaker 1: on your assignment. He will not quit you know, so,

792
00:43:31,080 --> 00:43:32,880
Speaker 1: so you know if I could give you any pointers,

793
00:43:32,920 --> 00:43:35,000
Speaker 1: And I mean you've already seen it in film. You

794
00:43:35,040 --> 00:43:37,040
Speaker 1: know that guy. He has a motor and there's a

795
00:43:37,040 --> 00:43:40,120
Speaker 1: reason why he's a great one. Gentlemen, heck of a show.
