1
00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:02,400
Speaker 1: Kevin, what are your feelings as you leave here as

2
00:00:02,440 --> 00:00:03,960
Speaker 1: the season ends.

3
00:00:06,400 --> 00:00:08,080
Speaker 2: I don't know, man, I just try to be still,

4
00:00:08,160 --> 00:00:10,800
Speaker 2: you know, I think for me in times of you know,

5
00:00:10,920 --> 00:00:12,799
Speaker 2: just uncertainty, you don't really know how things gonna go.

6
00:00:12,880 --> 00:00:14,960
Speaker 2: You just kind of wait it out, and sometimes it's

7
00:00:14,960 --> 00:00:15,960
Speaker 2: okay to do nothing.

8
00:00:17,239 --> 00:00:18,880
Speaker 1: How much would you like to be back here?

9
00:00:19,400 --> 00:00:20,840
Speaker 2: I would love to be back here. I mean they

10
00:00:20,840 --> 00:00:22,639
Speaker 2: already extended, you know, picked up my fifth year option,

11
00:00:22,760 --> 00:00:25,120
Speaker 2: so I'm not really too worried about me being back.

12
00:00:25,200 --> 00:00:27,800
Speaker 2: But you know, the team is never the same, so

13
00:00:28,080 --> 00:00:29,960
Speaker 2: it's gonna be interesting to see how things shake out.

14
00:00:30,640 --> 00:00:34,320
Speaker 1: You have a fifty year option, but you're also extension eligible.

15
00:00:34,360 --> 00:00:36,400
Speaker 1: Have you had any talks with them about that? And

16
00:00:36,880 --> 00:00:37,680
Speaker 1: what do you expecting?

17
00:00:37,920 --> 00:00:38,760
Speaker 2: What you are you?

18
00:00:38,800 --> 00:00:41,200
Speaker 1: Are you going to be looking for an extension this offseason?

19
00:00:41,520 --> 00:00:43,920
Speaker 2: I don't have any expectations. I think, you know, right now,

20
00:00:44,000 --> 00:00:46,320
Speaker 2: I just kind of want to just let things settle.

21
00:00:46,360 --> 00:00:48,400
Speaker 2: You know, there's a lot of uncertainties moving forward with

22
00:00:48,840 --> 00:00:50,879
Speaker 2: you know, our team, so I just kind of want

23
00:00:50,880 --> 00:00:52,760
Speaker 2: to wait until, you know, things get figured out to

24
00:00:53,159 --> 00:00:54,000
Speaker 2: kind of focus on those.

25
00:00:54,120 --> 00:00:56,720
Speaker 1: You're a veteran, what do you hope for the qualities

26
00:00:56,800 --> 00:00:58,120
Speaker 1: you hope for in a new coach.

27
00:00:59,280 --> 00:01:01,080
Speaker 2: Some of that pushes us. I think we got a

28
00:01:01,080 --> 00:01:04,360
Speaker 2: lot of great guys in the building, you know, obviously

29
00:01:04,560 --> 00:01:07,400
Speaker 2: a huge you know, respect to Dave's and what he did,

30
00:01:07,480 --> 00:01:09,640
Speaker 2: you know to get me here, and now you know,

31
00:01:09,720 --> 00:01:12,080
Speaker 2: being here looking for a new coach. I think it's

32
00:01:12,120 --> 00:01:15,440
Speaker 2: just another opportunity for us to you know, overcome adversity,

33
00:01:15,600 --> 00:01:17,640
Speaker 2: you know, and uh, it's gonna show you know, who

34
00:01:17,640 --> 00:01:19,000
Speaker 2: we are as an organization and the team.

35
00:01:19,240 --> 00:01:24,479
Speaker 1: Do you think a new coach can galvanize this team? Uh? Yeah, yes,

36
00:01:24,560 --> 00:01:28,399
Speaker 1: I do. You obviously pushed hard to get back here

37
00:01:28,480 --> 00:01:31,080
Speaker 1: before the end and and you got shut down. How

38
00:01:31,120 --> 00:01:34,320
Speaker 1: are you health wise? Do you think you'll be ready

39
00:01:34,360 --> 00:01:36,160
Speaker 1: to go for like whatever the first thing.

40
00:01:36,640 --> 00:01:39,480
Speaker 2: I'm healthy, I'll be fully healthy. Uh you know this

41
00:01:39,600 --> 00:01:42,959
Speaker 2: coming season, so yeah, no off season, no off season.

42
00:01:45,760 --> 00:01:47,880
Speaker 1: Do you think there are components here that can help

43
00:01:47,920 --> 00:01:50,200
Speaker 1: this team in terms of turning it around quickly?

44
00:01:51,760 --> 00:01:58,720
Speaker 2: I would say, you know, just continuing to to get better. Honestly, Like,

45
00:01:59,080 --> 00:02:01,120
Speaker 2: we didn't put good enough product out there on the

46
00:02:01,120 --> 00:02:02,600
Speaker 2: field this year, and it's going to be on us

47
00:02:02,640 --> 00:02:05,720
Speaker 2: to you know, get better individually. This offseason to you know,

48
00:02:05,760 --> 00:02:06,840
Speaker 2: come together as a collective.

49
00:02:07,160 --> 00:02:09,880
Speaker 1: Is that frustrating or disappointing the fact that you didn't

50
00:02:09,880 --> 00:02:11,480
Speaker 1: put out the product that you would have liked.

51
00:02:11,800 --> 00:02:13,520
Speaker 2: Well, for me, it was disappointing getting hurt, you know,

52
00:02:13,600 --> 00:02:16,040
Speaker 2: So I would say for me, you know, I just

53
00:02:16,040 --> 00:02:18,120
Speaker 2: got to focus on what I can do to contribute

54
00:02:18,120 --> 00:02:21,520
Speaker 2: to getting getting to team success and to get wins.

55
00:02:21,560 --> 00:02:24,639
Speaker 2: So yeah, I'm trying not to get too ahead of myself.

56
00:02:24,680 --> 00:02:26,120
Speaker 2: But we're just healing up and you know, going to

57
00:02:26,200 --> 00:02:27,560
Speaker 2: focus on taking off season.

58
00:02:27,600 --> 00:02:27,720
Speaker 1: You know.

59
00:02:27,720 --> 00:02:28,880
Speaker 2: One day at the time, I.

60
00:02:28,840 --> 00:02:30,799
Speaker 1: Know there was a lot of talk about Goel was drafted,

61
00:02:30,840 --> 00:02:33,360
Speaker 1: about how you at Duel and Brian were all going

62
00:02:33,400 --> 00:02:34,120
Speaker 1: to be used together.

63
00:02:34,480 --> 00:02:36,160
Speaker 2: I know you didn't finish the season because the.

64
00:02:36,080 --> 00:02:37,680
Speaker 1: Injury, but when you guys were all out there, were

65
00:02:37,680 --> 00:02:39,600
Speaker 1: you happy with how it worked with the three you

66
00:02:39,600 --> 00:02:41,960
Speaker 1: guys or are you interested in exploring some different ways

67
00:02:41,960 --> 00:02:43,200
Speaker 1: to utilize all of you guys.

68
00:02:43,600 --> 00:02:46,120
Speaker 2: I think I'm always excited to just compete with, you know,

69
00:02:46,200 --> 00:02:48,960
Speaker 2: the best guys in the league. So I guess when

70
00:02:48,960 --> 00:02:52,520
Speaker 2: the dual got drafted, it was just super one dope

71
00:02:52,560 --> 00:02:54,320
Speaker 2: to see us all out there, and it was we

72
00:02:54,639 --> 00:02:56,480
Speaker 2: didn't get going. You know, he didn't have many sacks.

73
00:02:56,480 --> 00:02:57,880
Speaker 2: I didn't have many sacks at the time we were

74
00:02:57,880 --> 00:03:00,400
Speaker 2: on the field together, but it was still and see,

75
00:03:00,440 --> 00:03:02,239
Speaker 2: so I'm super excited to see how it's going to

76
00:03:02,280 --> 00:03:04,080
Speaker 2: be utilized next year. And you know, what's the gun.

77
00:03:04,440 --> 00:03:08,440
Speaker 2: Do you think that group, let's include Dexter in that group,

78
00:03:08,520 --> 00:03:12,120
Speaker 2: that that that should be a selling point to anybody

79
00:03:12,160 --> 00:03:13,600
Speaker 2: who wants to come in here. I mean, you know,

80
00:03:14,040 --> 00:03:16,360
Speaker 2: tell me we don't need to sell. Everybody knows. And

81
00:03:16,360 --> 00:03:18,519
Speaker 2: I think that's one thing. Although we didn't get a

82
00:03:18,560 --> 00:03:20,160
Speaker 2: lot of wins, there's a lot of good stuff put

83
00:03:20,200 --> 00:03:22,080
Speaker 2: on tape by burns By due late in the season,

84
00:03:22,080 --> 00:03:24,400
Speaker 2: even by me. So I think, you know, when we

85
00:03:24,440 --> 00:03:26,880
Speaker 2: get the right you know, people around and to that,

86
00:03:27,000 --> 00:03:29,799
Speaker 2: they'll be excited, a sense.

87
00:03:29,600 --> 00:03:32,960
Speaker 1: That the organization is pleased with how you played.

88
00:03:32,600 --> 00:03:38,080
Speaker 2: This season prior to the injury. Me individually, I mean, honestly,

89
00:03:39,040 --> 00:03:41,720
Speaker 2: I don't really know. You know, like this is a

90
00:03:41,760 --> 00:03:44,800
Speaker 2: spot where you got to continue to strive for greatness

91
00:03:44,840 --> 00:03:47,360
Speaker 2: and continue to be better. So regardless of what I

92
00:03:47,440 --> 00:03:49,760
Speaker 2: think I did or what everyone else thinks I did,

93
00:03:49,800 --> 00:03:52,120
Speaker 2: you know, it's over now and I got another opportunity

94
00:03:52,160 --> 00:03:52,800
Speaker 2: to go be great,
