0:00:23.680 --> 0:00:25.840
<v Speaker 1>you just said it, but you know, and people are

0:00:25.840 --> 0:00:27.640
<v Speaker 1>talking about it on Twitter going all the way back

0:00:27.680 --> 0:00:30.280
<v Speaker 1>to December. You know, you tweeted out that you wanted

0:00:30.280 --> 0:00:33.640
<v Speaker 1>to be here? What what was it about the Cowboys?

0:00:33.640 --> 0:00:36.680
<v Speaker 1>What was it about Dallas that that you felt that way?

0:00:36.680 --> 0:00:38.960
<v Speaker 1>And I mean it's got to feel wild that something

0:00:39.000 --> 0:00:41.800
<v Speaker 1>you've wanted for so long actually happened. With everything that

0:00:41.800 --> 0:00:46.200
<v Speaker 1>happened in the first round. Um, you know, uh, people

0:00:46.200 --> 0:00:49.800
<v Speaker 1>don't realize, like you know, I think, you know, just

0:00:49.840 --> 0:00:53.479
<v Speaker 1>being in America then playing at playing for you know,

0:00:53.520 --> 0:00:56.840
<v Speaker 1>the best team in America. You know, uh, you know,

0:00:56.960 --> 0:00:59.280
<v Speaker 1>playing at atenc Stay then when I did, I fell

0:00:59.320 --> 0:01:01.800
<v Speaker 1>in love with it. I knew who Jay Jones is.

0:01:02.040 --> 0:01:04.800
<v Speaker 1>I know when he represents he's a serious man once

0:01:04.840 --> 0:01:08.280
<v Speaker 1>to win games. And you know, I knew what I

0:01:08.319 --> 0:01:10.400
<v Speaker 1>was stepping into, and I wanted to be in blue

0:01:10.400 --> 0:01:12.720
<v Speaker 1>and white again. And I said, the place where I

0:01:12.720 --> 0:01:14.360
<v Speaker 1>feel like they got there are a couple of pieces

0:01:14.360 --> 0:01:17.440
<v Speaker 1>away from being a really good team was the Cowboys.

0:01:17.640 --> 0:01:19.920
<v Speaker 1>And you know this is where I wanted to do.

0:01:20.520 --> 0:01:22.640
<v Speaker 1>So we've obviously watched a lot of your tape and

0:01:22.680 --> 0:01:24.480
<v Speaker 1>studied you leading up to the draft. But for all

0:01:24.520 --> 0:01:26.640
<v Speaker 1>those Cowboys fans out there listening, tell us a little

0:01:26.640 --> 0:01:29.440
<v Speaker 1>bit about your game. You know, your demeanor on the

0:01:29.440 --> 0:01:33.440
<v Speaker 1>field a linebacker. You know my de bean on the

0:01:33.480 --> 0:01:36.720
<v Speaker 1>linebacker is, you know, play physical, play fast, and make

0:01:36.760 --> 0:01:39.119
<v Speaker 1>a lot of tackles. I like to fly to the ball.

0:01:39.240 --> 0:01:41.040
<v Speaker 1>I think the best thing anybody can ever do is

0:01:41.080 --> 0:01:43.399
<v Speaker 1>play with effort. And when you play with effort, a

0:01:43.400 --> 0:01:46.080
<v Speaker 1>lot of great things happened around the ball. So that's

0:01:46.120 --> 0:01:47.720
<v Speaker 1>kind of how you're gonna get me. You're gonna get

0:01:47.760 --> 0:01:50.640
<v Speaker 1>a competitor. I'm never gonna go down easy, never gonna

0:01:50.640 --> 0:01:53.760
<v Speaker 1>go down sweet, and I'm gonna come into regul to place. Now,

0:01:53.800 --> 0:01:55.960
<v Speaker 1>you mentioned some of those pieces on the defensive side

0:01:56.000 --> 0:01:58.120
<v Speaker 1>of the football, Mica, where do you feel like you're

0:01:58.120 --> 0:02:00.640
<v Speaker 1>gonna fit in with this defense? Do you think there's

0:02:00.680 --> 0:02:03.280
<v Speaker 1>a specific spot for you as you come in and

0:02:03.520 --> 0:02:06.760
<v Speaker 1>get to get to work. Yeah, I mean I could

0:02:06.760 --> 0:02:08.480
<v Speaker 1>play anywhere on the field. I think I'm gonna use

0:02:08.560 --> 0:02:11.120
<v Speaker 1>my versatility early on to find out how they want

0:02:11.120 --> 0:02:13.799
<v Speaker 1>to use me, and you know, take my opportunity and

0:02:13.880 --> 0:02:16.040
<v Speaker 1>run away with it. You know, I think I'm here

0:02:16.080 --> 0:02:18.400
<v Speaker 1>just based off our opportunities my whole life, and this

0:02:18.480 --> 0:02:20.800
<v Speaker 1>is another great chance for me to take advantage of one.

0:02:21.080 --> 0:02:23.760
<v Speaker 1>Kind of going off that, Micael, You know, we haven't

0:02:23.760 --> 0:02:26.120
<v Speaker 1>really had a chance to talk to your new defensive

0:02:26.160 --> 0:02:29.760
<v Speaker 1>coordinator Dan Quinn, but watching your tape, you know you

0:02:29.760 --> 0:02:32.000
<v Speaker 1>can't help. But notice, like you said, your versatility you

0:02:32.000 --> 0:02:34.320
<v Speaker 1>can get after the quarterback. You can. You know you

0:02:34.400 --> 0:02:37.040
<v Speaker 1>had a big strip sack here at at and T

0:02:37.120 --> 0:02:39.960
<v Speaker 1>Stadium a couple of years ago. Have you talked to

0:02:40.080 --> 0:02:42.639
<v Speaker 1>Dan Quinn about how he wants to use you or

0:02:42.639 --> 0:02:45.919
<v Speaker 1>what your role could be when you get here now? Yet?

0:02:46.760 --> 0:02:48.880
<v Speaker 1>Like I said, I talked to the cowboys one time.

0:02:49.320 --> 0:02:51.560
<v Speaker 1>I guess that one time was the best time the

0:02:51.680 --> 0:02:54.640
<v Speaker 1>cowboy that's how to get to work. Well, we're excited

0:02:54.680 --> 0:02:58.320
<v Speaker 1>to have you here and to see you get to work. Mica. Congratulations,

0:02:58.440 --> 0:03:01.800
<v Speaker 1>we will see you soon and Aliston, hopefully sooner rather

0:03:01.840 --> 0:03:03.560
<v Speaker 1>than later. We'll get to shake your hand whenever all

0:03:03.560 --> 0:03:06.519
<v Speaker 1>this COVID nineteen is over. How about that? Yes, sir,

0:03:06.639 --> 0:03:10.639

<v Speaker 1>and you know it is intriguing and like you said,

0:03:16.840 --> 0:03:19.120
<v Speaker 1>it never gets old hearing from these prospects as their

0:03:19.200 --> 0:03:22.440
<v Speaker 1>dreams are realized. And like you said, his last collegiate

0:03:22.520 --> 0:03:26.160
<v Speaker 1>game the Cotton Bowl against Memphis close to New Year's

0:03:26.160 --> 0:03:28.079
<v Speaker 1>in twenty nineteen. That was his last time on a

0:03:28.120 --> 0:03:32.160
<v Speaker 1>collegiate football field. Guess where it was? Stadium baby,
