1
00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:02,560
Speaker 1: And welcome into this week's ozone podcast. And this is

2
00:00:02,600 --> 00:00:05,640
Speaker 1: a familiar guest who we've talked to already as a rookie,

3
00:00:05,720 --> 00:00:08,400
Speaker 1: which is unusual, but I get the idea of the

4
00:00:08,480 --> 00:00:12,080
Speaker 1: Jaguars cornerback nickelback guy, Jarian Jones is a little bit

5
00:00:12,080 --> 00:00:14,760
Speaker 1: of an unusual guy for a rookie. First of all,

6
00:00:14,800 --> 00:00:18,280
Speaker 1: I appreciate you doing this during the season, and we

7
00:00:18,320 --> 00:00:20,000
Speaker 1: talked a little bit on the walk up here the

8
00:00:20,079 --> 00:00:25,360
Speaker 1: difference between Jarian Jones in April and we talked and

9
00:00:25,400 --> 00:00:29,080
Speaker 1: now it strikes me that you're learning the league and

10
00:00:29,160 --> 00:00:29,800
Speaker 1: learning it fast.

11
00:00:30,480 --> 00:00:35,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, of course, I think from for my time being here,

12
00:00:35,920 --> 00:00:38,960
Speaker 2: I definitely I've gotten more comfortable than was obviously when

13
00:00:39,000 --> 00:00:40,879
Speaker 2: I first got here, you know, but I just think

14
00:00:40,880 --> 00:00:43,280
Speaker 2: everybody did a good job. But you know, not trying

15
00:00:43,280 --> 00:00:44,879
Speaker 2: to change me, you know, just kind of letting me

16
00:00:44,920 --> 00:00:47,680
Speaker 2: be who I am. You know, obviously you know what

17
00:00:47,720 --> 00:00:50,240
Speaker 2: I'm saying. Like sometimes going in situations, it's sometimes you

18
00:00:50,240 --> 00:00:51,720
Speaker 2: got a critique, you know what I'm saying, the way

19
00:00:51,760 --> 00:00:53,520
Speaker 2: you do things, go about things, you know what I'm saying.

20
00:00:53,520 --> 00:00:55,279
Speaker 2: But I think you know what I'm saying, Everyone here

21
00:00:55,280 --> 00:00:56,720
Speaker 2: did a good job and embrace me, and you know

22
00:00:56,760 --> 00:00:57,760
Speaker 2: what I'm saying, just letting me be.

23
00:00:57,760 --> 00:01:04,360
Speaker 1: Me strikes me and rep you apologize. Even even talking

24
00:01:04,360 --> 00:01:07,320
Speaker 1: to you at first, even going through training camp, Uh,

25
00:01:07,880 --> 00:01:11,720
Speaker 1: you never seem to lack confidence. Were you hiding it well?

26
00:01:11,840 --> 00:01:17,440
Speaker 1: Or were you always confident coming through a meeting? I

27
00:01:17,480 --> 00:01:20,760
Speaker 1: guess were you portraying yourself confident when you weren't or

28
00:01:20,760 --> 00:01:22,240
Speaker 1: were you always confident through the process.

29
00:01:22,360 --> 00:01:24,759
Speaker 2: No, I've always like I've always you know what I'm saying,

30
00:01:24,800 --> 00:01:27,680
Speaker 2: I've always been kind. Yeah, I've always been confident, you

31
00:01:27,720 --> 00:01:30,160
Speaker 2: know what I'm saying. Uh, Like I always believe, like

32
00:01:30,160 --> 00:01:31,720
Speaker 2: you know I'm saying, ain't nobody come and save you?

33
00:01:31,720 --> 00:01:33,400
Speaker 3: You know what I'm saying. You got dig yourself about it.

34
00:01:33,520 --> 00:01:34,040
Speaker 3: You know what I'm saying.

35
00:01:34,080 --> 00:01:36,400
Speaker 2: Whatever, So it's always been like I always felt like

36
00:01:36,440 --> 00:01:38,240
Speaker 2: it was me versus like the world. You know what

37
00:01:38,240 --> 00:01:41,520
Speaker 2: I'm saying, And I'm perfectly fine with going against anybody

38
00:01:41,800 --> 00:01:45,240
Speaker 2: or about anything that I believe in, you know what

39
00:01:45,280 --> 00:01:47,280
Speaker 2: I'm saying. So like, it's always just been like, you

40
00:01:47,280 --> 00:01:48,880
Speaker 2: know what I'm saying. I always got me. I need

41
00:01:48,920 --> 00:01:49,800
Speaker 2: nobody else to have me.

42
00:01:50,640 --> 00:01:51,720
Speaker 4: How is your Uh?

43
00:01:52,280 --> 00:01:53,960
Speaker 1: Overall, we'll get to the sack in a minute, because

44
00:01:53,960 --> 00:01:58,120
Speaker 1: the sack, that's a big deal for a corner. But overall,

45
00:01:59,320 --> 00:02:02,080
Speaker 1: how would you that's your season? Where are you at

46
00:02:02,240 --> 00:02:04,040
Speaker 1: in terms of where you want to be right now?

47
00:02:05,600 --> 00:02:07,680
Speaker 2: I feel like there's a lot of I got a

48
00:02:07,680 --> 00:02:10,240
Speaker 2: lot of things that I can you know what I'm saying. Obviously,

49
00:02:10,560 --> 00:02:14,480
Speaker 2: hone in on and come into your two better. But

50
00:02:14,600 --> 00:02:17,640
Speaker 2: that and that's also me being my biggest critic, you

51
00:02:17,680 --> 00:02:19,800
Speaker 2: know what I'm saying, Me always being the hardest on myself,

52
00:02:19,800 --> 00:02:23,160
Speaker 2: you know. But I definitely feel like having a good

53
00:02:23,240 --> 00:02:25,160
Speaker 2: rookie years that My rookiear has been pretty good. You know,

54
00:02:25,200 --> 00:02:27,560
Speaker 2: I've learned a lot, I've been putting a lot of

55
00:02:27,560 --> 00:02:31,839
Speaker 2: different situations within the games, you know. So, I mean,

56
00:02:32,200 --> 00:02:33,280
Speaker 2: you know what I'm saying, I definite feel like I'm

57
00:02:33,320 --> 00:02:35,560
Speaker 2: having a good rookie year, you know. So I just

58
00:02:35,600 --> 00:02:38,760
Speaker 2: want to keep building on it, building on it, you

59
00:02:38,760 --> 00:02:41,040
Speaker 2: know what I'm saying. Try to come back whenever the

60
00:02:41,040 --> 00:02:43,679
Speaker 2: season does and and make my sophomore year one of

61
00:02:43,680 --> 00:02:44,240
Speaker 2: the best of it.

62
00:02:44,639 --> 00:02:46,320
Speaker 1: This will be a topic I'm sure for you next

63
00:02:46,360 --> 00:02:48,600
Speaker 1: year too. But they always talk about the games slowing

64
00:02:48,639 --> 00:02:51,799
Speaker 1: down in your second year. Can you see how that

65
00:02:51,880 --> 00:02:55,639
Speaker 1: will be meaning starting to slow down now, But can

66
00:02:55,680 --> 00:02:57,959
Speaker 1: you see how much better you might be second year

67
00:02:58,080 --> 00:02:59,720
Speaker 1: just based on what you've learned right now?

68
00:03:00,000 --> 00:03:00,160
Speaker 3: You know?

69
00:03:00,280 --> 00:03:03,600
Speaker 2: Definitely, I definitely could see it because in my rookie year,

70
00:03:03,639 --> 00:03:06,400
Speaker 2: through the weeks, like when we won two week two three,

71
00:03:06,680 --> 00:03:09,680
Speaker 2: it slowed down. Like I look back and I watched

72
00:03:10,200 --> 00:03:12,640
Speaker 2: like during about week I watched some games from like

73
00:03:12,720 --> 00:03:15,400
Speaker 2: week three, week four, and then I went and watched

74
00:03:15,400 --> 00:03:18,160
Speaker 2: some games from like we eight, nine, ten, and it

75
00:03:18,200 --> 00:03:20,040
Speaker 2: was just like, oh, I see the difference in how

76
00:03:20,080 --> 00:03:22,239
Speaker 2: I played, what I've learned, and how much it slowed down.

77
00:03:22,880 --> 00:03:26,079
Speaker 1: Now I know you just got out of open locker room.

78
00:03:26,160 --> 00:03:28,440
Speaker 1: So he talked a little bit about it. But walk

79
00:03:28,520 --> 00:03:33,480
Speaker 1: me through the sack. How many sacks have you had

80
00:03:33,520 --> 00:03:35,200
Speaker 1: in your overall career?

81
00:03:35,240 --> 00:03:36,160
Speaker 4: First of all, was that one of.

82
00:03:36,160 --> 00:03:39,640
Speaker 2: The first NAH When I was in college, I think

83
00:03:39,680 --> 00:03:44,440
Speaker 2: I had three or four sacks. I definitely was getting

84
00:03:44,440 --> 00:03:46,280
Speaker 2: to the coreer. I blitzed a lot more like when

85
00:03:46,320 --> 00:03:50,520
Speaker 2: I was in college. But it's my first one in

86
00:03:50,520 --> 00:03:53,000
Speaker 2: the league, and I think coach Coach had been trying

87
00:03:53,000 --> 00:03:54,720
Speaker 2: to get me going like blitzing.

88
00:03:54,760 --> 00:03:58,800
Speaker 3: You know what I'm saying. A lot more and.

89
00:03:57,560 --> 00:03:59,840
Speaker 2: It's just the call just never lyned up, which looked

90
00:03:59,840 --> 00:04:01,440
Speaker 2: that we had got for me to be the one

91
00:04:01,640 --> 00:04:03,480
Speaker 2: in the blitz, you know what I'm saying. So we

92
00:04:03,600 --> 00:04:05,680
Speaker 2: just finally got the look and then line up perfect

93
00:04:05,720 --> 00:04:06,720
Speaker 2: with me being in the blitz.

94
00:04:06,760 --> 00:04:08,880
Speaker 3: And uh that was my first one of the games.

95
00:04:08,880 --> 00:04:10,920
Speaker 2: So I was like, and I had and I had

96
00:04:10,960 --> 00:04:12,760
Speaker 2: just got the PBu so I was like, and we

97
00:04:12,840 --> 00:04:14,760
Speaker 2: needed like a big play, right, So when I got

98
00:04:14,800 --> 00:04:17,120
Speaker 2: in the blitz, I was like, Off, I'm gonna get there.

99
00:04:17,200 --> 00:04:20,280
Speaker 1: Okay, Now I take me through the move. I heard

100
00:04:20,320 --> 00:04:22,440
Speaker 1: you say in the locker room. You don't have that

101
00:04:22,480 --> 00:04:23,039
Speaker 1: many moves.

102
00:04:23,200 --> 00:04:23,640
Speaker 3: Yeah, I ain't.

103
00:04:23,680 --> 00:04:25,719
Speaker 2: I ain't got I ain't got that many moves. But

104
00:04:27,120 --> 00:04:29,599
Speaker 2: like I know, like once I'm going, Like I'm a big,

105
00:04:29,680 --> 00:04:32,960
Speaker 2: like reactionary guy, so like when I get there, I

106
00:04:33,000 --> 00:04:35,320
Speaker 2: know exactly what I'm gonna do. You know, you have

107
00:04:35,360 --> 00:04:39,160
Speaker 2: a move in your head or whatever, but like all

108
00:04:39,240 --> 00:04:41,120
Speaker 2: they go out the window, like when it's bullets flying,

109
00:04:41,160 --> 00:04:43,839
Speaker 2: you know what I'm saying. So like I just running.

110
00:04:44,320 --> 00:04:46,480
Speaker 2: That was that was my reaction, Like I send him

111
00:04:46,480 --> 00:04:48,560
Speaker 2: throw the arm out, and my reaction was to get

112
00:04:48,640 --> 00:04:48,960
Speaker 2: under it.

113
00:04:50,960 --> 00:04:55,040
Speaker 1: Now, a game like that as a rookie. I've seen

114
00:04:55,040 --> 00:04:56,719
Speaker 1: a lot of veterans not have games like that. You

115
00:04:56,760 --> 00:04:58,880
Speaker 1: have two PPUs in the fourth quarter, you have a sack,

116
00:05:00,800 --> 00:05:04,400
Speaker 1: You've been gaining confidence. But what can a game like

117
00:05:04,440 --> 00:05:08,400
Speaker 1: that where you sort of make key plays key players

118
00:05:08,480 --> 00:05:11,480
Speaker 1: the game? What does that do in terms of telling you, Hey,

119
00:05:11,480 --> 00:05:14,400
Speaker 1: I belong here, I can do this, and I can

120
00:05:14,480 --> 00:05:15,000
Speaker 1: keep doing it.

121
00:05:16,880 --> 00:05:20,360
Speaker 2: I've always felt like I belonged like I definitely always

122
00:05:20,360 --> 00:05:22,359
Speaker 2: felt like I belonged to But that.

123
00:05:22,200 --> 00:05:26,120
Speaker 3: Game, like within itself just kind of.

124
00:05:27,560 --> 00:05:31,440
Speaker 2: Unless you know, like okay, like you definitely can like

125
00:05:31,600 --> 00:05:34,360
Speaker 2: are going to be one of those one definitely because

126
00:05:34,360 --> 00:05:36,200
Speaker 2: I'm not really into it. I'm not in this to

127
00:05:36,240 --> 00:05:37,560
Speaker 2: kind of be like I don't want to be the

128
00:05:37,600 --> 00:05:39,880
Speaker 2: highest paid this. I'm not in it to be you

129
00:05:39,920 --> 00:05:41,640
Speaker 2: know what I'm saying, Like, I'm not in it to

130
00:05:41,680 --> 00:05:46,800
Speaker 2: be uh like the like any of the small stuff,

131
00:05:46,839 --> 00:05:48,840
Speaker 2: like I want to be the best, like to do

132
00:05:48,880 --> 00:05:51,479
Speaker 2: it like I want to be. Like my goal was

133
00:05:51,760 --> 00:05:54,120
Speaker 2: never to get to the NFL, Like I knew that

134
00:05:54,200 --> 00:05:55,640
Speaker 2: was going to happen, like once I you know what

135
00:05:55,680 --> 00:05:58,120
Speaker 2: I'm saying, I supposed to do Like as long as

136
00:05:58,120 --> 00:05:59,360
Speaker 2: I did, I was supposed to do. I was gonna

137
00:05:59,360 --> 00:06:02,320
Speaker 2: get to lead. My goal is like to be the best.

138
00:06:03,400 --> 00:06:06,400
Speaker 2: I want to be the best at not just nickel corner.

139
00:06:06,440 --> 00:06:07,960
Speaker 2: Say that I want to be the best like dB

140
00:06:08,320 --> 00:06:11,160
Speaker 2: period like I want. I don't want to be claimed

141
00:06:11,240 --> 00:06:13,520
Speaker 2: as a he's a nickel like I want to be.

142
00:06:13,960 --> 00:06:17,320
Speaker 2: He is an asset like wherever he is on the defense,

143
00:06:17,440 --> 00:06:19,320
Speaker 2: we have to look for him to be above that. Yes,

144
00:06:19,360 --> 00:06:20,240
Speaker 2: that's what I want to be.

145
00:06:20,640 --> 00:06:23,400
Speaker 1: So my question, man, I make any sense in that regard,

146
00:06:23,440 --> 00:06:27,920
Speaker 1: But do you see yourself as a nickel or an

147
00:06:27,920 --> 00:06:30,400
Speaker 1: outside or is it more what you just told me

148
00:06:30,480 --> 00:06:35,039
Speaker 1: that I guess you see yourself as being able to

149
00:06:35,040 --> 00:06:36,560
Speaker 1: play no matter where they ask you to play.

150
00:06:36,680 --> 00:06:39,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, I see myself as a piece, like I am

151
00:06:39,080 --> 00:06:42,719
Speaker 2: a piece of the defense. Like when they create the

152
00:06:42,920 --> 00:06:45,719
Speaker 2: X factors for man in mind should be like it

153
00:06:45,720 --> 00:06:49,680
Speaker 2: should just say different, right, like I could do anything.

154
00:06:50,080 --> 00:06:51,440
Speaker 3: That's those are the type of things I work.

155
00:06:51,720 --> 00:06:54,400
Speaker 2: I work on everything like I want to be the

156
00:06:54,440 --> 00:06:55,720
Speaker 2: best at everything.

157
00:06:57,760 --> 00:07:02,479
Speaker 1: Coaches players tell me over the years that nickel is

158
00:07:03,520 --> 00:07:08,960
Speaker 1: one of the more misunderstood positions outside because it really

159
00:07:09,040 --> 00:07:13,120
Speaker 1: is something getting there. Everybody considers outside corner like the

160
00:07:13,240 --> 00:07:17,000
Speaker 1: plays right, But Nickel has to be aware, has to

161
00:07:17,000 --> 00:07:19,600
Speaker 1: be a football player, meaning you have to know what's

162
00:07:19,640 --> 00:07:21,440
Speaker 1: going on in front of you, behind you, you have

163
00:07:21,480 --> 00:07:22,800
Speaker 1: to be aware of what's going on in the field.

164
00:07:23,880 --> 00:07:26,680
Speaker 1: It strikes me from watching you play that that's what

165
00:07:26,800 --> 00:07:28,960
Speaker 1: makes you very comfortable at Nickel, is that you're a

166
00:07:29,000 --> 00:07:32,920
Speaker 1: football player meaning awareness. You see guys who are athletes,

167
00:07:32,920 --> 00:07:36,160
Speaker 1: guys who are football players. Do you agree with that assessment?

168
00:07:36,240 --> 00:07:39,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think my best asset is just like instincts

169
00:07:39,600 --> 00:07:42,720
Speaker 2: and just playing fast. I think in Nickel, Okay, your

170
00:07:42,800 --> 00:07:46,440
Speaker 2: Nickel has to be you're one of your best cover guys,

171
00:07:46,800 --> 00:07:49,080
Speaker 2: has to be one of your best tackles. He has

172
00:07:49,120 --> 00:07:51,440
Speaker 2: to be one of your smartest guys in the defense.

173
00:07:51,440 --> 00:07:53,560
Speaker 2: He has no defense inside and that right, So I

174
00:07:53,560 --> 00:07:58,200
Speaker 2: think your Nickel blitz he has to be one like

175
00:07:58,400 --> 00:08:01,160
Speaker 2: your nickel is basically every position that you have on

176
00:08:01,240 --> 00:08:03,960
Speaker 2: defense in one person. That's basically what it is. You

177
00:08:03,960 --> 00:08:06,480
Speaker 2: know what I'm saying. So I think me being a

178
00:08:06,560 --> 00:08:09,520
Speaker 2: Nigglas just lets me put all of my talents like

179
00:08:10,080 --> 00:08:12,360
Speaker 2: on display, Like I was, I can go play corner,

180
00:08:12,480 --> 00:08:14,400
Speaker 2: like sure, I would love to go play corner, like

181
00:08:14,720 --> 00:08:16,640
Speaker 2: that's cool, But like I also want to go back

182
00:08:16,640 --> 00:08:18,640
Speaker 2: and play Nickel too, you know what I'm saying, Because

183
00:08:18,920 --> 00:08:20,400
Speaker 2: at Corner it's just like, are they gonna throw it

184
00:08:20,400 --> 00:08:21,960
Speaker 2: out there? They may throw it out there, they may

185
00:08:21,960 --> 00:08:24,520
Speaker 2: not throw it out there, or whatever it may be.

186
00:08:23,520 --> 00:08:25,720
Speaker 2: You might you might go ten players and not be

187
00:08:25,760 --> 00:08:28,320
Speaker 2: involved at all. But at Nickel, out of those ten plays,

188
00:08:28,560 --> 00:08:29,880
Speaker 2: six of them am involved in.

189
00:08:30,480 --> 00:08:32,200
Speaker 3: You know what I'm saying. On the fourth that I'm not,

190
00:08:32,240 --> 00:08:34,160
Speaker 3: they ran the ball oppositways to the boundary or something

191
00:08:34,240 --> 00:08:34,480
Speaker 3: like that.

192
00:08:34,640 --> 00:08:35,840
Speaker 4: You can get bored on the outside.

193
00:08:36,040 --> 00:08:37,800
Speaker 3: Yeah, you could definitely get bored on the outside. You

194
00:08:37,840 --> 00:08:40,400
Speaker 3: could go You literally can go first quart.

195
00:08:40,240 --> 00:08:42,959
Speaker 2: Second quarter, third quarter, not one ball through at you,

196
00:08:43,800 --> 00:08:45,880
Speaker 2: and get one ball through at you, and that's your

197
00:08:45,920 --> 00:08:48,440
Speaker 2: game right there, right don't I can't play like that?

198
00:08:49,040 --> 00:08:53,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, even at three and ten. And I didn't mean

199
00:08:53,600 --> 00:08:55,439
Speaker 1: to bring up the record, but just thinking, I'm sitting

200
00:08:55,440 --> 00:08:58,920
Speaker 1: here talking to you, watching you play. You're really embracing this,

201
00:08:58,960 --> 00:09:03,400
Speaker 1: aren't you. You You're having fun with it no matter what's

202
00:09:03,440 --> 00:09:05,280
Speaker 1: going on elsewhere.

203
00:09:05,640 --> 00:09:06,520
Speaker 4: Am I reading that right?

204
00:09:06,600 --> 00:09:07,440
Speaker 3: Yeah? I'm definitely.

205
00:09:07,679 --> 00:09:12,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm enjoying the process of what's going on. You know,

206
00:09:12,559 --> 00:09:14,560
Speaker 2: like we may be three and ten as a team

207
00:09:14,720 --> 00:09:19,560
Speaker 2: or whatever. But the challenge in the journey of trying

208
00:09:19,559 --> 00:09:23,760
Speaker 2: to turn it around and bring it back, that's what

209
00:09:23,840 --> 00:09:25,960
Speaker 2: I'm enjoying because, you know what I'm saying, it's gonna

210
00:09:25,960 --> 00:09:27,520
Speaker 2: be hard. Like I get frustrated to days, you know

211
00:09:27,559 --> 00:09:29,080
Speaker 2: what I'm saying, obvious to be three and ten, Like

212
00:09:29,480 --> 00:09:31,199
Speaker 2: we lose, and nobody likes to lose, you know what

213
00:09:31,200 --> 00:09:35,080
Speaker 2: I'm saying, So I get frustrated. But like the challenge

214
00:09:35,080 --> 00:09:38,280
Speaker 2: of trying to turn it around. I think, like that's like,

215
00:09:38,360 --> 00:09:39,679
Speaker 2: that's what's kind of you know what I'm saying.

216
00:09:39,880 --> 00:09:43,200
Speaker 1: And it's been a month, so I hate to bring

217
00:09:43,240 --> 00:09:47,520
Speaker 1: it up. But the way you handle the Saquon play

218
00:09:49,400 --> 00:09:51,840
Speaker 1: was so impressive to me because as a young kid

219
00:09:51,880 --> 00:09:55,760
Speaker 1: coming into the league, he turns in this great play.

220
00:09:55,800 --> 00:09:59,560
Speaker 1: Everybody's seen it. It's gonna be a highlight, and your.

221
00:09:59,480 --> 00:10:03,520
Speaker 4: Approach with is, hey, the guys, he's great.

222
00:10:03,320 --> 00:10:07,800
Speaker 1: He's gonna do that to anybody. You just didn't let

223
00:10:07,840 --> 00:10:09,800
Speaker 1: it bother you, and you just kind of said, that's

224
00:10:09,840 --> 00:10:12,800
Speaker 1: what's gonna happen in this league. There was a maturity

225
00:10:12,800 --> 00:10:14,920
Speaker 1: about the way you handled it, and I guess you

226
00:10:15,000 --> 00:10:15,600
Speaker 1: just handled it.

227
00:10:15,520 --> 00:10:20,720
Speaker 4: Because you're the way you are. But I guess talking

228
00:10:20,760 --> 00:10:21,800
Speaker 4: through how you approach that.

229
00:10:22,000 --> 00:10:24,000
Speaker 1: I mean, it wasn't.

230
00:10:23,800 --> 00:10:24,480
Speaker 3: A big deal for it.

231
00:10:24,559 --> 00:10:26,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, I ain't really feel no way about it because

232
00:10:27,160 --> 00:10:30,280
Speaker 2: I'm in the NFL and I feel like he's the league.

233
00:10:30,760 --> 00:10:33,160
Speaker 3: I feel like I'm the league, you know what I'm saying.

234
00:10:33,200 --> 00:10:34,200
Speaker 3: So he made a play.

235
00:10:34,920 --> 00:10:37,959
Speaker 2: Hey, there's a reason he's here, and there's a reason

236
00:10:38,000 --> 00:10:39,680
Speaker 2: he is exactly who he is, you know.

237
00:10:39,679 --> 00:10:40,040
Speaker 3: What I'm saying.

238
00:10:40,040 --> 00:10:42,520
Speaker 2: But there's a reason I'm exactly who I am. So

239
00:10:42,559 --> 00:10:44,560
Speaker 2: I can't let myself down about you know what I'm saying.

240
00:10:44,600 --> 00:10:46,920
Speaker 3: What he just did. He's who he is.

241
00:10:47,480 --> 00:10:50,360
Speaker 2: So in turn, I'm gonna come back and make my

242
00:10:50,400 --> 00:10:52,880
Speaker 2: play because I am who I am. So that's how

243
00:10:52,880 --> 00:10:54,120
Speaker 2: I thought about it. I mean, he just made a

244
00:10:54,160 --> 00:10:57,360
Speaker 2: play close to him, great play. I'm gonna make my players.

245
00:10:57,400 --> 00:10:59,240
Speaker 1: And it's kind of how you have to be here

246
00:11:00,240 --> 00:11:01,800
Speaker 1: to play defense in this league, right.

247
00:11:02,400 --> 00:11:08,240
Speaker 2: Especially dB, especially dB, you know, like the like it's

248
00:11:08,240 --> 00:11:10,640
Speaker 2: the offensive league, you know what I'm saying these days.

249
00:11:10,640 --> 00:11:13,559
Speaker 2: So I mean, to play dB, especially, you got to

250
00:11:13,640 --> 00:11:16,040
Speaker 2: have like short memory like you got.

251
00:11:16,360 --> 00:11:19,360
Speaker 3: He made a catchpoon next place it got to be

252
00:11:19,440 --> 00:11:20,680
Speaker 3: is what it is gotcha.

253
00:11:20,840 --> 00:11:21,040
Speaker 4: Now.

254
00:11:21,360 --> 00:11:25,040
Speaker 1: The final thing I bring up the fight, and the

255
00:11:25,080 --> 00:11:28,920
Speaker 1: reason I bring it up is it struck me that again,

256
00:11:28,960 --> 00:11:30,840
Speaker 1: you're the kind of guy who is not going to

257
00:11:30,880 --> 00:11:34,679
Speaker 1: stand on the sidelines in that situation. Uh, You're gonna

258
00:11:34,679 --> 00:11:37,000
Speaker 1: be involved with it. You're gonna be about your team.

259
00:11:37,559 --> 00:11:42,079
Speaker 1: And that's really I mean you obviously weren't the only

260
00:11:42,120 --> 00:11:45,160
Speaker 1: one to come off the bench, but it's just kind

261
00:11:45,160 --> 00:11:45,959
Speaker 1: of who you are, right.

262
00:11:46,200 --> 00:11:51,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm like, I'm definitely like a pro my guys

263
00:11:52,000 --> 00:11:54,200
Speaker 2: type of guy. You get what I'm saying, Like, I'm

264
00:11:54,240 --> 00:11:56,640
Speaker 2: always for my guys. You know what I'm saying. So

265
00:11:56,800 --> 00:12:00,320
Speaker 2: you know, I'm like, I stand by this. It's like

266
00:12:00,600 --> 00:12:03,480
Speaker 2: I'm always for you. I'm always like once we got

267
00:12:03,520 --> 00:12:06,000
Speaker 2: that bond or connection like my teammates, like, I'm.

268
00:12:05,840 --> 00:12:08,080
Speaker 3: Always for you and I'm always be for you.

269
00:12:08,480 --> 00:12:11,920
Speaker 2: The only thing that could ever message I'm not listen

270
00:12:11,960 --> 00:12:13,880
Speaker 2: to nobody else want to come to my guys or

271
00:12:14,360 --> 00:12:16,280
Speaker 2: nobody outside. I don't listen to none of that. But

272
00:12:16,320 --> 00:12:18,240
Speaker 2: the only thing that can mess with me and your

273
00:12:18,360 --> 00:12:21,000
Speaker 2: bond is for you to do something green.

274
00:12:21,440 --> 00:12:21,560
Speaker 1: Right.

275
00:12:21,800 --> 00:12:24,439
Speaker 3: And when I say green is just y'all, no green.

276
00:12:24,200 --> 00:12:26,840
Speaker 4: Mean I'm fifty eight.

277
00:12:27,320 --> 00:12:31,000
Speaker 2: Green, It's just kind of like like Green is just

278
00:12:31,080 --> 00:12:32,720
Speaker 2: kind of like when you do something kind of like

279
00:12:33,600 --> 00:12:35,880
Speaker 2: against what me and you got going on, you know

280
00:12:35,920 --> 00:12:37,440
Speaker 2: what I'm saying, Like Green is like.

281
00:12:38,760 --> 00:12:41,280
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, you gotta use it, you gotta green. Yeah.

282
00:12:41,520 --> 00:12:44,199
Speaker 2: But like I'm like a pro my guy type of

283
00:12:44,480 --> 00:12:46,680
Speaker 2: like type of persons, like once once I got bunds,

284
00:12:46,720 --> 00:12:47,760
Speaker 2: like we really locked in for.

285
00:12:48,520 --> 00:12:52,600
Speaker 1: You mentioned it earlier, and it struck me. You want

286
00:12:52,600 --> 00:12:56,719
Speaker 1: to be around and part of the reason this thing

287
00:12:56,760 --> 00:12:57,880
Speaker 1: turns around, don't you.

288
00:12:58,040 --> 00:12:59,600
Speaker 3: That's something you're thinking about for sure.

289
00:13:00,400 --> 00:13:03,200
Speaker 4: Talk me through that. How much does that mean to you?

290
00:13:03,720 --> 00:13:04,280
Speaker 3: I mean a lot.

291
00:13:04,720 --> 00:13:07,839
Speaker 2: When I was at I went through something similar at

292
00:13:07,840 --> 00:13:09,880
Speaker 2: Florida State. When I was at Fort State. When I

293
00:13:09,880 --> 00:13:11,839
Speaker 2: first got to four State, we weren't really too high, you

294
00:13:11,880 --> 00:13:14,080
Speaker 2: know what I'm saying. Everybody said what they had to say.

295
00:13:14,200 --> 00:13:16,439
Speaker 2: Everybody switched on this change on us, you know what

296
00:13:16,440 --> 00:13:18,480
Speaker 2: I'm saying. But we just kept turning and kept turning

297
00:13:18,480 --> 00:13:20,160
Speaker 2: and kept going, you know what I'm saying. Then we

298
00:13:20,200 --> 00:13:21,280
Speaker 2: turned it around, you know.

299
00:13:21,280 --> 00:13:21,760
Speaker 3: What I'm saying.

300
00:13:21,800 --> 00:13:24,800
Speaker 2: So like I really know what it felt like, you

301
00:13:24,800 --> 00:13:27,199
Speaker 2: know what I'm saying, to be from like from the bottom,

302
00:13:27,280 --> 00:13:31,079
Speaker 2: Like I'm from Mississippi, so like I don't know if

303
00:13:31,080 --> 00:13:33,400
Speaker 2: you ever been in Mississippi but a couple times. Yeah,

304
00:13:33,400 --> 00:13:35,280
Speaker 2: So you know, like I'm really from the dirty you

305
00:13:35,360 --> 00:13:38,640
Speaker 2: know what I'm saying, So like I really know what

306
00:13:39,320 --> 00:13:41,839
Speaker 2: being down and I really mean you know what I'm saying,

307
00:13:41,920 --> 00:13:42,800
Speaker 2: We got something you.

308
00:13:42,880 --> 00:13:45,080
Speaker 4: Like the process of being the guy who posed up.

309
00:13:45,080 --> 00:13:47,000
Speaker 2: You see what I'm saying, Like we got something here,

310
00:13:47,160 --> 00:13:49,040
Speaker 2: you know what I'm saying. So like, regardless of what

311
00:13:49,160 --> 00:13:52,319
