1
00:00:01,600 --> 00:00:02,240
Speaker 1: It was pretty good.

2
00:00:02,279 --> 00:00:04,720
Speaker 2: I know they paid me to do this, so just

3
00:00:04,960 --> 00:00:08,320
Speaker 2: get to do my job at the end of the day.

4
00:00:09,920 --> 00:00:18,439
Speaker 1: Is the different defense not really UH. DC and Mayo

5
00:00:18,520 --> 00:00:19,959
Speaker 1: worked closely together last year.

6
00:00:20,360 --> 00:00:23,440
Speaker 2: I was coached by DC last year on the D line.

7
00:00:23,840 --> 00:00:26,239
Speaker 1: I feel like it's pretty similar. Similar feels.

8
00:00:26,239 --> 00:00:28,800
Speaker 2: Mayo is still doing a pretty good job of talking

9
00:00:28,840 --> 00:00:30,920
Speaker 2: with the defense more so lean of defense and stick

10
00:00:30,960 --> 00:00:31,560
Speaker 2: to what he knows.

11
00:00:33,600 --> 00:00:35,720
Speaker 1: So yeah, not really too big of a feel difference.

12
00:00:36,680 --> 00:00:37,920
Speaker 1: He would you describe.

13
00:00:40,920 --> 00:00:44,600
Speaker 2: Really knowledgeable analytical UH with his background on how he

14
00:00:44,680 --> 00:00:47,839
Speaker 2: like came up in their program. He really knows it,

15
00:00:47,880 --> 00:00:49,919
Speaker 2: INDs and outs up what offenses are trying to do,

16
00:00:50,200 --> 00:00:52,560
Speaker 2: which makes him a better play caller and UH coach

17
00:00:52,720 --> 00:00:53,200
Speaker 2: all around.

18
00:00:54,280 --> 00:00:56,440
Speaker 1: And describe the coming into.

19
00:01:02,360 --> 00:01:05,840
Speaker 2: Coming off. I ain't gotta get no snacks anymore for

20
00:01:05,840 --> 00:01:07,880
Speaker 2: the Vets, so that's smooth.

21
00:01:09,560 --> 00:01:11,480
Speaker 1: But football wise, you just know more.

22
00:01:11,600 --> 00:01:14,160
Speaker 2: So I feel like when you come in as a rookie,

23
00:01:14,160 --> 00:01:17,560
Speaker 2: it's a thousand parts moving all at once. We were

24
00:01:17,560 --> 00:01:19,959
Speaker 2: blessed to have Mayo be promoted to head coach, so

25
00:01:19,959 --> 00:01:23,520
Speaker 2: there's a lot of carryover from the last UH coaching staff,

26
00:01:25,080 --> 00:01:28,240
Speaker 2: so the game slows down. You can see more you

27
00:01:28,240 --> 00:01:29,680
Speaker 2: can react to more. You could be a lot more

28
00:01:29,680 --> 00:01:35,120
Speaker 2: of a dominant player. How was that carry over neighbors

29
00:01:35,520 --> 00:01:38,000
Speaker 2: the coach, but it's already have on the step, How

30
00:01:38,040 --> 00:01:42,600
Speaker 2: would you deal with the transition? To be honest, I

31
00:01:42,640 --> 00:01:48,080
Speaker 2: feel like we're in a blessed situation defensively new as

32
00:01:48,080 --> 00:01:49,880
Speaker 2: in the sense of a new position, but not new

33
00:01:49,920 --> 00:01:52,600
Speaker 2: to us. So we already have a relationship with with

34
00:01:52,640 --> 00:01:56,200
Speaker 2: those guys with the DC. We have new defensive line

35
00:01:56,240 --> 00:01:59,960
Speaker 2: coaches like Jerry and Drew, but they're still doing the

36
00:02:00,040 --> 00:02:02,360
Speaker 2: good job of taking what they had from their old

37
00:02:02,720 --> 00:02:05,120
Speaker 2: UH programs bringing it to us, but still fitting in

38
00:02:05,440 --> 00:02:11,040
Speaker 2: with the patriotway and the Patriot system.

39
00:02:11,080 --> 00:02:11,600
Speaker 1: Not really.

40
00:02:11,880 --> 00:02:13,760
Speaker 2: I mean, we don't got Bill cursing us out every

41
00:02:13,800 --> 00:02:16,480
Speaker 2: play anymore, but it's still pretty similar.

42
00:02:17,120 --> 00:02:21,399
Speaker 1: Yeah, standing up a lot more something.

43
00:02:21,200 --> 00:02:25,200
Speaker 2: That you like. I don't think I'm standing up more particularly,

44
00:02:25,680 --> 00:02:29,280
Speaker 2: it's just what the defense is like. Certain places I

45
00:02:29,320 --> 00:02:31,160
Speaker 2: stand up, certain playces I handed at dirt. Today was

46
00:02:31,200 --> 00:02:35,799
Speaker 2: a more pass UH focused day, all in the front end.

47
00:02:36,160 --> 00:02:43,079
Speaker 2: So I just stood up and know I miss it. No,

48
00:02:43,200 --> 00:02:45,440
Speaker 2: I like I like Bill. He's my tope of coach.

49
00:02:45,520 --> 00:02:48,400
Speaker 2: Like a heart, I like that like I respond well

50
00:02:48,440 --> 00:02:50,359
Speaker 2: to things like that. But Male's doing a pretty good

51
00:02:50,400 --> 00:02:52,679
Speaker 2: job too. It's all it's all different. Uh. Male is

52
00:02:52,680 --> 00:02:55,120
Speaker 2: doing a really good job saying true to himself, not

53
00:02:55,160 --> 00:02:58,320
Speaker 2: trying to fill somebody else's shoes, but create his own path,

54
00:02:58,600 --> 00:02:59,639
Speaker 2: and I really respect that.

55
00:03:00,040 --> 00:03:04,399
Speaker 1: A player, do you you feel that you cannavicell.

56
00:03:03,720 --> 00:03:05,960
Speaker 2: Pro and coches to yourself?

57
00:03:07,200 --> 00:03:07,839
Speaker 1: Yeah?

58
00:03:07,880 --> 00:03:11,640
Speaker 2: So for me, I can respond to any coaching style

59
00:03:12,040 --> 00:03:13,200
Speaker 2: as long as you're genuine and.

60
00:03:13,160 --> 00:03:13,600
Speaker 1: Who you are.

61
00:03:14,080 --> 00:03:17,040
Speaker 2: So if you're like a friendly coach and you try

62
00:03:17,080 --> 00:03:19,320
Speaker 2: to be a hard ass, I'm gonna see through that

63
00:03:19,440 --> 00:03:21,799
Speaker 2: and like challenge the bullshit. Then if you're a hard

64
00:03:21,800 --> 00:03:24,080
Speaker 2: ass coach and trying to be super friendly because like

65
00:03:24,320 --> 00:03:26,839
Speaker 2: you're trying to cater to certain players, I'm assist see

66
00:03:26,880 --> 00:03:28,880
Speaker 2: through that and like I'd much rather you just be

67
00:03:28,960 --> 00:03:30,720
Speaker 2: yourself and be who you are too to that, And

68
00:03:30,760 --> 00:03:34,679
Speaker 2: that's what Mayo is doing and I respect that, but

69
00:03:35,920 --> 00:03:48,480
Speaker 2: you from For me, situational awareness physicality was a thing

70
00:03:48,520 --> 00:03:51,560
Speaker 2: that I did pretty well, but just focusing that physicality,

71
00:03:51,920 --> 00:03:54,680
Speaker 2: hand placement, things like that are big things that I

72
00:03:54,720 --> 00:03:55,560
Speaker 2: care in the off season.

73
00:03:58,320 --> 00:04:00,960
Speaker 1: Yourself as a stand up guy. Two point stands ten

74
00:04:01,040 --> 00:04:02,760
Speaker 1: point stands a little bit of the balls, like, how

75
00:04:02,800 --> 00:04:03,840
Speaker 1: do you kind of see that?

76
00:04:04,440 --> 00:04:06,840
Speaker 2: I see myself as a D lineman wherever I can

77
00:04:06,920 --> 00:04:09,640
Speaker 2: play on the D line, whether it be outside three

78
00:04:09,680 --> 00:04:12,840
Speaker 2: tech nose uh defensive end.

79
00:04:12,840 --> 00:04:19,120
Speaker 1: I'm'a play at all, So appreciate.

80
00:04:19,960 --> 00:04:20,279
Speaker 2: Excellent
