1
00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:04,880
Speaker 1: Be here. It didn't take me long to really realize

2
00:00:05,840 --> 00:00:09,000
Speaker 1: why this place is so successful. Uh. You see it

3
00:00:09,039 --> 00:00:13,000
Speaker 1: from the outside from afar. But once I got here

4
00:00:13,000 --> 00:00:16,479
Speaker 1: and had the opportunity to meet ownership, UH, to spend

5
00:00:16,520 --> 00:00:20,040
Speaker 1: some time with John and Kyle, UH, it ain't it

6
00:00:20,120 --> 00:00:23,919
Speaker 1: all came to reality for me. So UH to be

7
00:00:24,040 --> 00:00:27,760
Speaker 1: here is definitely a blessing for me. UH to be

8
00:00:27,840 --> 00:00:31,720
Speaker 1: around this talented defense, the players that we have, UH,

9
00:00:31,760 --> 00:00:33,159
Speaker 1: and the things that we were able to do in

10
00:00:33,200 --> 00:00:37,120
Speaker 1: free agency and also in the draft. I'm extremely excited

11
00:00:37,120 --> 00:00:39,599
Speaker 1: and looking forward to the season. So I know you

12
00:00:39,600 --> 00:00:42,480
Speaker 1: guys have tons of questions, and with that, I open

13
00:00:42,600 --> 00:00:52,760
Speaker 1: up the floor.

14
00:00:48,280 --> 00:00:52,199
Speaker 2: Going to the place where what has worked or what

15
00:00:52,240 --> 00:00:55,520
Speaker 2: has been done in the past has worked. How do

16
00:00:55,560 --> 00:00:58,720
Speaker 2: you balance that putting your own stamp on the team

17
00:00:58,800 --> 00:01:00,480
Speaker 2: while just keeping things the.

18
00:01:00,440 --> 00:01:04,400
Speaker 1: Way they were. I think you have to embrace the

19
00:01:04,440 --> 00:01:08,160
Speaker 1: success that they've had here. I think it's a foundation

20
00:01:08,400 --> 00:01:12,280
Speaker 1: that we all agree we wanted to keep, and I

21
00:01:12,280 --> 00:01:15,080
Speaker 1: think as an opportunity as we go through the process,

22
00:01:15,120 --> 00:01:17,920
Speaker 1: which we already have, is to try to tweak things

23
00:01:17,959 --> 00:01:20,120
Speaker 1: a little bit. You know, I still think there's room

24
00:01:20,160 --> 00:01:22,800
Speaker 1: for improvement. If you talk to the players, they would

25
00:01:22,840 --> 00:01:26,480
Speaker 1: tell you the same. So when it's not broke, you

26
00:01:26,520 --> 00:01:28,880
Speaker 1: don't really want to try to fix it. And once again,

27
00:01:29,600 --> 00:01:31,360
Speaker 1: we've had a lot of success around here and we

28
00:01:31,440 --> 00:01:32,880
Speaker 1: just want to continue to build on that.

29
00:01:33,440 --> 00:01:36,039
Speaker 3: I imagine that one of the things he wanted you

30
00:01:36,120 --> 00:01:38,880
Speaker 3: to do first was to look back at all six

31
00:01:38,959 --> 00:01:42,039
Speaker 3: years you know of this regime and the defense that

32
00:01:42,080 --> 00:01:45,200
Speaker 3: they had instilled before. What was your biggest takeaway or

33
00:01:45,200 --> 00:01:47,320
Speaker 3: what have been your biggest takeaways looking what the forty

34
00:01:47,360 --> 00:01:48,800
Speaker 3: Anders have done since twenty seventeen.

35
00:01:48,880 --> 00:01:51,960
Speaker 1: Well, I think and my philosophy is the same. I've

36
00:01:52,000 --> 00:01:55,040
Speaker 1: always had this Everything we do starts up front, you know.

37
00:01:55,160 --> 00:01:58,160
Speaker 1: When you look at how dominant we've been over the

38
00:01:58,240 --> 00:02:01,160
Speaker 1: years is because of our defense flying, you know, and

39
00:02:01,200 --> 00:02:04,000
Speaker 1: we've done a great job building that through the draft,

40
00:02:04,360 --> 00:02:06,800
Speaker 1: as I just alluded to, we did some great things

41
00:02:06,800 --> 00:02:10,400
Speaker 1: in free agency this past year. So Causeric does a

42
00:02:10,440 --> 00:02:13,120
Speaker 1: tremendous job. He's one of the best in the business

43
00:02:13,120 --> 00:02:16,520
Speaker 1: of what he does, and he's had a major impact

44
00:02:16,600 --> 00:02:20,000
Speaker 1: on this defense. So that was really the biggest thing

45
00:02:20,000 --> 00:02:22,160
Speaker 1: that stood out to me was just how great we

46
00:02:22,160 --> 00:02:27,200
Speaker 1: were up front consistently over the years.

47
00:02:24,919 --> 00:02:27,920
Speaker 4: And John Lynch talked about how the defensive line was

48
00:02:28,320 --> 00:02:30,679
Speaker 4: really stellar back in twenty nineteen and it could have

49
00:02:30,760 --> 00:02:32,480
Speaker 4: dropped off a little bit even though they were ranked

50
00:02:32,480 --> 00:02:36,280
Speaker 4: a number two top type five defense last year. What

51
00:02:36,320 --> 00:02:38,799
Speaker 4: have you seen from the progress of the defensive line

52
00:02:38,800 --> 00:02:40,720
Speaker 4: and then looking forward with the draft picks and the

53
00:02:40,720 --> 00:02:41,799
Speaker 4: free agent signings.

54
00:02:43,040 --> 00:02:46,760
Speaker 1: Well, I think again you have to go back to personnel,

55
00:02:47,240 --> 00:02:49,760
Speaker 1: and I think you've seen what we've been able to

56
00:02:49,800 --> 00:02:54,360
Speaker 1: do for is drafting certain guys. Ken Law has just

57
00:02:54,400 --> 00:02:56,600
Speaker 1: been tremendous since I've been here. I mean the day

58
00:02:56,680 --> 00:02:58,679
Speaker 1: that I came in on my interview, he was here

59
00:02:58,680 --> 00:03:01,359
Speaker 1: working out. He has not missed it day of all

60
00:03:01,480 --> 00:03:04,840
Speaker 1: season training. So I'm excited to see exactly where he's

61
00:03:04,880 --> 00:03:08,240
Speaker 1: gonna be. The same thing with Drake. Drake has been

62
00:03:08,360 --> 00:03:11,960
Speaker 1: here all summer, working out all spring rather doing the

63
00:03:11,960 --> 00:03:15,480
Speaker 1: things that he needs to do to improve, you know,

64
00:03:15,600 --> 00:03:18,840
Speaker 1: his game. He's gained a lot of weight. He's in

65
00:03:18,960 --> 00:03:23,040
Speaker 1: there with Casseric, and I'm just excited to see exactly

66
00:03:23,080 --> 00:03:25,040
Speaker 1: what he's gonna do and how he's gonna progress in

67
00:03:25,080 --> 00:03:27,200
Speaker 1: the second year. You know what we did in free

68
00:03:27,200 --> 00:03:30,280
Speaker 1: agency with jaybon so one of the best three techniques

69
00:03:30,280 --> 00:03:33,399
Speaker 1: in terror lineman in the National Football League. So I'm

70
00:03:33,400 --> 00:03:36,960
Speaker 1: excited and I can say I can be up here

71
00:03:36,960 --> 00:03:39,119
Speaker 1: all day long talking about the defensive player of the year.

72
00:03:39,200 --> 00:03:41,960
Speaker 1: So we have a great front. We gotta continue to

73
00:03:41,960 --> 00:03:44,880
Speaker 1: build on that. And the one thing that I'm emphasizing

74
00:03:44,920 --> 00:03:47,240
Speaker 1: and talking about, We've got to compliment each other, you know.

75
00:03:47,360 --> 00:03:50,080
Speaker 1: So there's different layers to this defense, and the back

76
00:03:50,200 --> 00:03:51,360
Speaker 1: end has to do a great job.

77
00:03:52,840 --> 00:03:55,600
Speaker 2: As a player. The here you speak, what jumps out

78
00:03:55,600 --> 00:03:58,520
Speaker 2: at you, What kind of interactions have you in the.

79
00:03:58,520 --> 00:04:02,680
Speaker 1: Last few months, just through texts, and they all been great.

80
00:04:04,080 --> 00:04:07,280
Speaker 1: I've only heard great things about him even before I

81
00:04:07,320 --> 00:04:10,080
Speaker 1: got here, just his personality just going around the league,

82
00:04:10,080 --> 00:04:11,920
Speaker 1: different guys that I know, and how they just ramp

83
00:04:11,960 --> 00:04:15,800
Speaker 1: and rave about him. The work ethic that he has,

84
00:04:15,920 --> 00:04:20,000
Speaker 1: most importantly is just across the board. The standard is

85
00:04:20,040 --> 00:04:24,240
Speaker 1: set here. These guys worked extremely hard, and I'm so

86
00:04:24,279 --> 00:04:27,479
Speaker 1: impressed of just just watching those guys work. Even in

87
00:04:27,560 --> 00:04:30,720
Speaker 1: phage one. I would just watch the individual period and

88
00:04:30,800 --> 00:04:32,440
Speaker 1: just every day and just see how they work in

89
00:04:32,560 --> 00:04:36,280
Speaker 1: all three levels of the defense. And Bose is a

90
00:04:36,360 --> 00:04:39,080
Speaker 1: leader of that. He exemplifies that each and every day.

91
00:04:39,800 --> 00:04:41,839
Speaker 1: He's played zone coverage at a very high level for

92
00:04:41,839 --> 00:04:42,239
Speaker 1: a while.

93
00:04:42,600 --> 00:04:44,880
Speaker 3: Talking to Darrell Ludther junior yesterday, the rookie, he said

94
00:04:44,880 --> 00:04:46,680
Speaker 3: he played mostly press man coverage in college.

95
00:04:46,800 --> 00:04:48,400
Speaker 1: Is that an element you would like to incorporate in

96
00:04:48,440 --> 00:04:50,680
Speaker 1: this defense a little bit more? I think you have

97
00:04:50,720 --> 00:04:54,719
Speaker 1: to explore an experience, experiment with everything. You know. My

98
00:04:54,839 --> 00:04:58,680
Speaker 1: background is divers in zone as well as man, and

99
00:04:58,720 --> 00:05:02,280
Speaker 1: I think it can each week based off your opponent

100
00:05:02,400 --> 00:05:04,120
Speaker 1: who you playing. Do I feel like we have the

101
00:05:04,160 --> 00:05:07,200
Speaker 1: skill set uh to play more man? Yes? You know

102
00:05:07,800 --> 00:05:09,320
Speaker 1: at times, do I wanna be a little bit more

103
00:05:09,320 --> 00:05:11,640
Speaker 1: aggressive with the talent and athletic system that we have

104
00:05:11,640 --> 00:05:12,760
Speaker 1: at linebacker? Yes?

105
00:05:13,320 --> 00:05:15,760
Speaker 2: And when you say that aggressive with the talent you

106
00:05:15,800 --> 00:05:17,680
Speaker 2: have at linebacker, what do you what are you referring to? Uh?

107
00:05:17,720 --> 00:05:20,080
Speaker 1: I'm referring to exactly the the question they just talked

108
00:05:20,080 --> 00:05:23,040
Speaker 1: about in regards to probably blitzing a little bit more. Uh.

109
00:05:23,160 --> 00:05:25,320
Speaker 1: I I believe in zone eyes. I think that's how

110
00:05:25,400 --> 00:05:28,760
Speaker 1: you make UH plays on the football, uh, particularly from

111
00:05:28,839 --> 00:05:32,279
Speaker 1: the underneath positions. UH. So zone is still gonna be

112
00:05:32,240 --> 00:05:34,640
Speaker 1: a high element of what we do. UH. But I

113
00:05:34,680 --> 00:05:36,359
Speaker 1: feel like we have the skill set and the talent

114
00:05:36,400 --> 00:05:38,360
Speaker 1: to be able to get in you know, a guy's

115
00:05:38,400 --> 00:05:41,320
Speaker 1: face pressed, man make the quarterback hold the ball, particularly

116
00:05:41,360 --> 00:05:43,400
Speaker 1: with our front mission.

117
00:05:43,480 --> 00:05:45,880
Speaker 5: Drake Jackson, what what did you see from him when

118
00:05:45,920 --> 00:05:48,480
Speaker 5: you reviewed his his rookie tape?

119
00:05:49,080 --> 00:05:49,279
Speaker 2: Uh?

120
00:05:49,400 --> 00:05:51,360
Speaker 1: A lot of inconsistency, you know.

121
00:05:52,080 --> 00:05:52,320
Speaker 2: Uh.

122
00:05:52,480 --> 00:05:54,600
Speaker 1: I saw a lot of talent, a lot of skill set,

123
00:05:55,000 --> 00:05:57,599
Speaker 1: but someone that needs to really as he as I

124
00:05:57,680 --> 00:06:00,400
Speaker 1: just uh talked about, get a little strong, longer, get

125
00:06:00,440 --> 00:06:01,080
Speaker 1: a little bigger.

126
00:06:01,720 --> 00:06:02,040
Speaker 3: Uh.

127
00:06:02,080 --> 00:06:04,960
Speaker 1: And he's working hard. So I'm looking forward to him

128
00:06:04,960 --> 00:06:08,840
Speaker 1: once again taking that sophomore leap, uh, you know that

129
00:06:08,839 --> 00:06:12,160
Speaker 1: that second year and really improving and doing some good things.

130
00:06:12,839 --> 00:06:16,600
Speaker 1: Go back to after Carolina made the decision they did.

131
00:06:16,600 --> 00:06:18,880
Speaker 1: But what was your level of disappointment, Derek?

132
00:06:18,920 --> 00:06:21,080
Speaker 5: What were the things that were important to you for.

133
00:06:21,120 --> 00:06:25,080
Speaker 1: Your next I'm asking I'm gonna answer the second question first.

134
00:06:26,520 --> 00:06:32,120
Speaker 1: My next thought was surrounding myself with good people. I

135
00:06:32,160 --> 00:06:34,039
Speaker 1: think that's the key to everything that you do. You

136
00:06:34,160 --> 00:06:36,760
Speaker 1: can have the talent and the skill set, but you

137
00:06:36,839 --> 00:06:40,640
Speaker 1: need players. You need an organization that's committed. You need

138
00:06:40,640 --> 00:06:43,440
Speaker 1: a coach at a head coach and at GM that's

139
00:06:43,560 --> 00:06:46,880
Speaker 1: aligned with one another. And when the opportunity came when

140
00:06:46,880 --> 00:06:49,760
Speaker 1: I got the phone call, this was a perfect fit

141
00:06:49,800 --> 00:06:50,000
Speaker 1: for me.

142
00:06:51,600 --> 00:06:53,800
Speaker 4: You mentioned Javon Hartgrave. How much time have you spent

143
00:06:53,839 --> 00:06:55,640
Speaker 4: with him this offseason and with both of you coming

144
00:06:55,680 --> 00:06:58,200
Speaker 4: and new, what kind of unique perspectives A second, you.

145
00:06:58,160 --> 00:07:01,159
Speaker 1: Guys having spent a lot of time with him, We've

146
00:07:01,160 --> 00:07:04,040
Speaker 1: been talking back and forth. We do have a connection,

147
00:07:04,320 --> 00:07:06,760
Speaker 1: just for from the mere fact that you know he

148
00:07:06,920 --> 00:07:09,880
Speaker 1: resides and lives in Charlotte as well born and raised

149
00:07:09,960 --> 00:07:12,640
Speaker 1: right outside of Charlotte and Salisbury. So a lot of

150
00:07:12,640 --> 00:07:15,440
Speaker 1: guys that I coach he's real close with, So just

151
00:07:15,480 --> 00:07:18,480
Speaker 1: that mutual friendship that we have. But I'm excited to

152
00:07:18,520 --> 00:07:21,000
Speaker 1: have him part of the forty nine ers. I know

153
00:07:21,040 --> 00:07:23,240
Speaker 1: he's going to be a huge addition for us this year.

154
00:07:24,760 --> 00:07:28,680
Speaker 5: Let's talk to how his dad, you know, when he's

155
00:07:28,760 --> 00:07:32,840
Speaker 5: in the offense coordinator here in ninety four, similar situation.

156
00:07:32,920 --> 00:07:38,320
Speaker 5: Do you enjoyed aploiting the very successful party organization? Everything's

157
00:07:38,400 --> 00:07:41,440
Speaker 5: kind of in place, and he stayed boy from his

158
00:07:41,480 --> 00:07:43,080
Speaker 5: family and was here for three months. I don't know

159
00:07:43,120 --> 00:07:47,280
Speaker 5: if that was a mandate your family behind, but what

160
00:07:47,400 --> 00:07:50,560
Speaker 5: I mean, was there this kind of three month process

161
00:07:50,640 --> 00:07:53,080
Speaker 5: of just absorbing this defense.

162
00:07:52,680 --> 00:07:54,000
Speaker 2: And learning everything you could.

163
00:07:55,000 --> 00:07:59,480
Speaker 1: Yes, and you know, it's still an ongoing process. The

164
00:07:59,560 --> 00:08:03,520
Speaker 1: thing that in regards to just making the move with

165
00:08:03,520 --> 00:08:07,360
Speaker 1: my family, we were all on the same page in

166
00:08:07,680 --> 00:08:10,600
Speaker 1: this decision. I don't make any decisions without really involving

167
00:08:10,640 --> 00:08:13,640
Speaker 1: my family, so I had total support there. But I

168
00:08:13,640 --> 00:08:16,520
Speaker 1: think always in the transition of going to a new place,

169
00:08:16,920 --> 00:08:18,640
Speaker 1: you want to have that extra time just to be

170
00:08:18,680 --> 00:08:22,120
Speaker 1: able to dive into watching more tapes, stand here late,

171
00:08:22,320 --> 00:08:23,720
Speaker 1: you know, trying to get to know the guys a

172
00:08:23,760 --> 00:08:28,160
Speaker 1: little bit more, build relationships. I think it's critical, So

173
00:08:29,440 --> 00:08:30,800
Speaker 1: that was part of the process.

174
00:08:31,440 --> 00:08:32,920
Speaker 4: They're on the other side of the ball. But Christian

175
00:08:33,000 --> 00:08:35,400
Speaker 4: McCaffrey and Sam Donald, you know them very well with

176
00:08:35,559 --> 00:08:39,240
Speaker 4: being how do you see their paths going forward here?

177
00:08:39,760 --> 00:08:43,320
Speaker 1: Well, hopefully they're gonna have a lot of success. Both

178
00:08:43,360 --> 00:08:47,240
Speaker 1: of those guys are extremely talented. I'm glad you know

179
00:08:47,320 --> 00:08:49,400
Speaker 1: that they're on our team. I'm glad we're here together.

180
00:08:50,360 --> 00:08:53,120
Speaker 1: You know, it was disappointing to lose Christian last year,

181
00:08:53,200 --> 00:08:55,720
Speaker 1: but he has definitely made a difference here with the

182
00:08:55,720 --> 00:08:57,640
Speaker 1: forty nine ers, and I'm glad to be able to

183
00:08:57,920 --> 00:08:58,839
Speaker 1: be a part of that. Now.

184
00:09:00,040 --> 00:09:03,520
Speaker 2: That's what you brought in Hartsfield from Carolina and all over.

185
00:09:03,840 --> 00:09:05,520
Speaker 3: Can you talk a little bit about them and how

186
00:09:05,559 --> 00:09:07,120
Speaker 3: they f defense.

187
00:09:07,800 --> 00:09:10,760
Speaker 1: I think it's always important if you can have someone

188
00:09:10,880 --> 00:09:14,040
Speaker 1: whether there's a player or coach that's somewhat familiar with

189
00:09:14,120 --> 00:09:18,240
Speaker 1: your system or or in this situation, your philosophy, you know,

190
00:09:19,440 --> 00:09:22,280
Speaker 1: and he can be an extension of you on the field,

191
00:09:22,320 --> 00:09:25,280
Speaker 1: coaching the guys, also in the locker room, uh, and

192
00:09:25,320 --> 00:09:27,160
Speaker 1: then also in the classroom. So if that was a

193
00:09:29,000 --> 00:09:31,880
Speaker 1: important factor for me. He's a good football player as well.

194
00:09:32,600 --> 00:09:35,160
Speaker 1: Oliver is someone that had the opportunity to go against

195
00:09:35,160 --> 00:09:38,280
Speaker 1: being in that division, and you know, we didn't know

196
00:09:38,320 --> 00:09:41,280
Speaker 1: exactly what was gonna happen in free agency with Jimmy

197
00:09:41,600 --> 00:09:44,120
Speaker 1: and when then that didn't happen, you know, we wanted

198
00:09:44,160 --> 00:09:47,360
Speaker 1: to make sure that we sort of got the best,

199
00:09:47,400 --> 00:09:49,160
Speaker 1: you know, Nickel and free agency, and that's what we

200
00:09:49,200 --> 00:09:53,080
Speaker 1: went out and did. So I'm excited about Oliver. He's long, Uh,

201
00:09:53,120 --> 00:09:56,840
Speaker 1: he's physical, Uh, can tackle, can cover. Uh. He's gonna

202
00:09:56,840 --> 00:09:58,720
Speaker 1: be a good blitzer for us everything that we do

203
00:09:58,800 --> 00:09:59,680
Speaker 1: within this defense.

204
00:10:00,880 --> 00:10:03,600
Speaker 4: She talked a lot about the collaboration between the scouting

205
00:10:04,240 --> 00:10:06,720
Speaker 4: personelle department and the coaching staff during the draft. What

206
00:10:06,840 --> 00:10:09,280
Speaker 4: type of role did you have during this draft of

207
00:10:09,280 --> 00:10:10,280
Speaker 4: the forty nine ers.

208
00:10:10,320 --> 00:10:12,480
Speaker 1: Just like all the assistant coaches, we go through the

209
00:10:12,480 --> 00:10:16,360
Speaker 1: process of what personnel gives us and evaluating different guys

210
00:10:16,640 --> 00:10:20,040
Speaker 1: at our position. I think we do a great job

211
00:10:20,160 --> 00:10:24,120
Speaker 1: of really, as John alluded to, collaborating and getting everybody's

212
00:10:24,120 --> 00:10:26,719
Speaker 1: thoughts and opinions. And when it came down to a

213
00:10:26,800 --> 00:10:29,720
Speaker 1: particularly one guy, JAHI Brown, we were all on the

214
00:10:29,760 --> 00:10:32,800
Speaker 1: same page in regards to how we felt about him

215
00:10:33,280 --> 00:10:36,959
Speaker 1: and what he could bring to the forty nine ers.

216
00:10:37,040 --> 00:10:38,719
Speaker 4: Drug enough to stand on the table for him?

217
00:10:38,800 --> 00:10:40,880
Speaker 1: What was it about him that made you well, his

218
00:10:41,080 --> 00:10:43,640
Speaker 1: tape just jumped off at you. You know, he just

219
00:10:43,679 --> 00:10:47,600
Speaker 1: makes plays. But having an opportunity. You know, we didn't

220
00:10:47,640 --> 00:10:49,960
Speaker 1: go to the combine. We did zooms. But even when

221
00:10:50,000 --> 00:10:54,600
Speaker 1: you are there, those fifteen minute excuse me, don't give

222
00:10:54,800 --> 00:10:57,160
Speaker 1: justice for us really trying to get to know someone.

223
00:10:57,400 --> 00:10:59,160
Speaker 1: And we do a huge thing here where we bring

224
00:10:59,160 --> 00:11:01,240
Speaker 1: our thirty in all that same time, we have dinner,

225
00:11:01,360 --> 00:11:04,280
Speaker 1: top golf, and as you get into a social setting,

226
00:11:04,640 --> 00:11:07,840
Speaker 1: I think you have you know, more conversations, and I

227
00:11:07,960 --> 00:11:09,760
Speaker 1: just started he just started growing on me, just the

228
00:11:09,800 --> 00:11:13,400
Speaker 1: conversation that we're having, his dedication to the game. You know,

229
00:11:13,520 --> 00:11:16,600
Speaker 1: he's mature, he sees it at it with a different lens,

230
00:11:16,880 --> 00:11:18,760
Speaker 1: and uh I said, this guy right here can be

231
00:11:18,800 --> 00:11:21,880
Speaker 1: the future for it. So uh I was excited about it,

232
00:11:21,960 --> 00:11:23,160
Speaker 1: and I'm glad we got him.

233
00:11:26,840 --> 00:11:30,200
Speaker 5: The head coach came in again in the next cycle.

234
00:11:30,559 --> 00:11:32,040
Speaker 5: Was there a discussion about.

235
00:11:31,760 --> 00:11:35,360
Speaker 1: How long I'm gonna tell you? And this is not

236
00:11:35,400 --> 00:11:38,640
Speaker 1: a just an answer to throw you off or anything

237
00:11:38,720 --> 00:11:42,000
Speaker 1: like that, but I believe in being where your feet are.

238
00:11:42,360 --> 00:11:44,640
Speaker 1: Be where your feet are, and take care of what's

239
00:11:44,679 --> 00:11:46,880
Speaker 1: in front of you. I started out at Johnson C.

240
00:11:46,960 --> 00:11:50,080
Speaker 1: Smith University Division two school, small school right there in Charlotte,

241
00:11:50,080 --> 00:11:52,280
Speaker 1: North Carolina. I didn't think about where I would be.

242
00:11:52,440 --> 00:11:55,320
Speaker 1: I had dreams of it, but I've always just, you know,

243
00:11:55,440 --> 00:11:57,960
Speaker 1: tried to win the day. And that's why i'm right now.

244
00:11:58,000 --> 00:12:01,560
Speaker 1: I'm not even looking beyond you know. So I just

245
00:12:01,559 --> 00:12:03,480
Speaker 1: want to make sure this defense is the best it

246
00:12:03,520 --> 00:12:06,000
Speaker 1: can be and we're going to continue to build this

247
00:12:06,040 --> 00:12:09,120
Speaker 1: thing in layers. I appreciate you, guys. Thank you
