Speaker 1: He's back.
Speaker 2: He has time now.
Speaker 1: He shuffles his feet, throws it down the field and
Speaker 1: the pass is broken up. What a play by Cole
Speaker 1: Hulkom there to break that baby up. He's gonna be
Speaker 1: hit and Holcombe has him. They put him in the
Speaker 1: dart with him a little bit of picking him.
Speaker 2: Explain to me what it has been like coming to
Speaker 2: a new team, but also just being part of a
Speaker 2: brand new group other than Mark Robinson and trying to
Speaker 2: figure things out.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, you know, coming in, you know they
Speaker 3: said it was a total revamp of the whole room.
Speaker 3: Like you said, only Mark row was there. I mean
Speaker 3: I felt like, you know, we were all trying to
Speaker 3: get to know each other. But it also, you know,
Speaker 3: we also bonded over that in terms of like, hey,
Speaker 3: we're all guys that have been on teams before. We've
Speaker 3: also played quite a bit of ball, so I think
Speaker 3: we had a lot of things that we could like
Speaker 3: relate to, you know, be able to work off of
Speaker 3: and grow very quickly.
Speaker 2: Coach Tomlin said this week he felt like your unit
Speaker 2: is playing better every game. The splash plays are coming.
Speaker 2: Do you guys feel that happening or do you still
Speaker 2: feel like, man, there's so many more things we can
Speaker 2: do better.
Speaker 3: I mean, I feel the splash play is coming, and
Speaker 3: I feel, you know, that we are progressing and but
Speaker 3: but I do think there's a lot of more meat
Speaker 3: on that bone, and I think we're you know, I
Speaker 3: think we're all capable of giving a little more. But
Speaker 3: you know, it's you know, the competitive side of all
Speaker 3: of us.
Speaker 2: Do you think the Ravens game was the best performance
Speaker 2: for your group?
Speaker 1: Cole Holcomb did a great job. You attacked the mesh point,
Speaker 1: you make sure somebody's got the ball carrier.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I feel like as as a group total, you know,
Speaker 3: we were joking around like they didn't know who to
Speaker 3: mic that game. You know, it was one one drive.
Speaker 3: It was you know, I was making plays. The next
Speaker 3: drive was Kwan, the next drive was e Rob And
Speaker 3: that game was honestly just a lot of fun.
Speaker 2: The communication is so key at the position that you play.
Speaker 2: What has that been like as a defensive hole, you know,
Speaker 2: Mika's in the back, He's very talkative of you guys
Speaker 2: figuring out how to play together.
Speaker 3: We all come from defenses where you know, we've, like
Speaker 3: I said, we've all played a lot of ball and
Speaker 3: we all use our own terminology, and it's it's kind
Speaker 3: of like you know, learning, Okay, this is what Minka's
Speaker 3: talking about when he's telling me this, this is what
Speaker 3: Kwan's talking about when he's this is what e Rob's
Speaker 3: telling me, and learning you know, hey, this guy he
Speaker 3: looks at you know, he's going to look at this stuff,
Speaker 3: so I can focus on a different area. So learning
Speaker 3: those like how those guys think, play communicate, it definitely
Speaker 3: allows you to you know, try and dissect more from
Speaker 3: that offense what they're giving you work out an eight
Speaker 3: check player to drive got schong chucks down up.
Speaker 2: What type of problems do the Rams present to you
Speaker 2: guys this week?
Speaker 3: You know, I mean Stafford cup Pokah, you know, I
Speaker 3: mean I think I think Sean McVay is a great
Speaker 3: offensive mind, and you know they do a lot and
Speaker 3: they a lot of motions, a lot of shifting in Stafford,
Speaker 3: I mean everything once through Stafford, he's you know, he's
Speaker 3: out there checking plays and you know he's dissecting those defenses.
Speaker 3: So we're definitely gonna have to try and you know,
Speaker 3: try and change that look up.
Speaker 2: On him for you personally, your persistence everybody. You know,
Speaker 2: the backstory of walking on at you and see getting
Speaker 2: the scholarship, not getting invited to the combine? Does that
Speaker 2: come from your dad and the relationship that you had
Speaker 2: with him growing up.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean he coached me at a young age,
Speaker 3: and you know, with him, it was like you never quit.
Speaker 3: You know, I was never allowed to quit during a season.
Speaker 3: You know, if it was a sport I didn't like
Speaker 3: to play, you could quit at the end of the season.
Speaker 3: You don't have to go play it again, but you're
Speaker 3: not gonna quit. And then, you know, he was. He
Speaker 3: was definitely a person that I would call every day,
Speaker 3: you know, when I was going through, you know, being
Speaker 3: frustrated at being a walk on and how you know,
Speaker 3: getting treated that way. And and then he's also the
Speaker 3: first one I'm calling when good things were happening. So
Speaker 3: I think he's been a you know, a big help
Speaker 3: in terms of keeping my head screwed on straight and
Speaker 3: you know, keep me on the right pack.
Speaker 2: Last important Mullet question for you, is Pittsburgh more ambrasive?
Speaker 2: Like do you always get compliments here? Does it just
Speaker 2: feel like it embodies Pittsburgh.

Speaker 3: it up before I right before I signed, and everybody
Speaker 3: was like, what the heck happened. I said, don't know where
