1 00:00:00,520 --> 00:00:04,360 Speaker 1: In a situation like this, they know you, you know them. 2 00:00:04,440 --> 00:00:06,960 Speaker 1: Who do you think has the advantage? You said, who 3 00:00:07,120 --> 00:00:09,520 Speaker 1: has the advantaged? You know them and they know you. 4 00:00:09,720 --> 00:00:11,000 Speaker 1: So who do you think has the edge of the 5 00:00:11,000 --> 00:00:13,240 Speaker 1: match up? I'm not sure exactly who has an edge 6 00:00:13,320 --> 00:00:14,840 Speaker 1: or not like that. But I'm still preparing the same 7 00:00:14,880 --> 00:00:16,120 Speaker 1: way I would any week, you know what I mean, 8 00:00:16,160 --> 00:00:18,720 Speaker 1: except the fact that I do know them a little 9 00:00:18,760 --> 00:00:21,560 Speaker 1: bit more. Um, the differences. I know a lot of 10 00:00:21,600 --> 00:00:24,279 Speaker 1: them and they know one person over here, So I 11 00:00:24,320 --> 00:00:26,760 Speaker 1: think that's the biggest difference. And uh, you know, I'm 12 00:00:26,760 --> 00:00:29,159 Speaker 1: definitely still prepared the same way. And uh, you know, 13 00:00:29,200 --> 00:00:32,519 Speaker 1: prepared with my teammates. Where's your motivation level at that? 14 00:00:33,200 --> 00:00:36,600 Speaker 1: And you know it's gotta be a little something extra, No, 15 00:00:37,080 --> 00:00:39,240 Speaker 1: I mean, I'm obviously excited to play against the team 16 00:00:39,240 --> 00:00:41,680 Speaker 1: that I once played for and that traded me to 17 00:00:41,720 --> 00:00:45,120 Speaker 1: this team now, But it's no like extra motivation then 18 00:00:45,240 --> 00:00:47,200 Speaker 1: last week, you know. I mean, I'm still with this team. 19 00:00:47,200 --> 00:00:49,440 Speaker 1: I still want to win every game like like I 20 00:00:49,479 --> 00:00:52,400 Speaker 1: would every week, you know what I mean. You know, 21 00:00:52,440 --> 00:00:55,600 Speaker 1: the motivation level still still the same. How much they've 22 00:00:55,640 --> 00:00:58,680 Speaker 1: been kicking your brain about the Jets protections and stuff 23 00:00:58,680 --> 00:01:02,680 Speaker 1: like that. Me I've definitely been uh being asked about 24 00:01:02,720 --> 00:01:06,039 Speaker 1: it from some of the guys on offense, and uh, 25 00:01:06,160 --> 00:01:07,640 Speaker 1: you know, I talked about some of the old line 26 00:01:07,680 --> 00:01:10,080 Speaker 1: today with some of the D line guys in defensive 27 00:01:10,080 --> 00:01:12,640 Speaker 1: meeting today, and uh, you know, I'm sure they're gonna 28 00:01:12,640 --> 00:01:14,920 Speaker 1: just keep you know, picking my brain a little bit 29 00:01:15,000 --> 00:01:17,960 Speaker 1: until up until game there. So the schemes are evident 30 00:01:18,080 --> 00:01:20,680 Speaker 1: from the tape right, how they block is evident. What 31 00:01:20,680 --> 00:01:22,920 Speaker 1: what intel can you share that can help on a 32 00:01:22,920 --> 00:01:25,600 Speaker 1: different level of talk about guys blocking tendencies and stuff? 33 00:01:26,000 --> 00:01:28,880 Speaker 1: I mean just a tennesseeason in general, you know what 34 00:01:28,920 --> 00:01:31,560 Speaker 1: I mean throughout a game, Um, you know, how they 35 00:01:31,600 --> 00:01:34,520 Speaker 1: are as a person, how they are on and off 36 00:01:34,520 --> 00:01:37,160 Speaker 1: the field, and stuff like that. You know, can you know, 37 00:01:37,480 --> 00:01:40,120 Speaker 1: sometimes tell you a story on how guys are when 38 00:01:40,120 --> 00:01:42,960 Speaker 1: they play as well, So you know, just giving as 39 00:01:43,040 --> 00:01:47,000 Speaker 1: much advice as I can. How are you with picking 40 00:01:47,040 --> 00:01:52,040 Speaker 1: up the schemes here and things. I definitely a lot 41 00:01:52,200 --> 00:01:55,560 Speaker 1: fresher and faster and more comfortable with it this this 42 00:01:55,600 --> 00:01:58,040 Speaker 1: week than last week last week, And not only was 43 00:01:59,760 --> 00:02:02,360 Speaker 1: learned in the defense, but I was also adjusting to 44 00:02:02,400 --> 00:02:06,040 Speaker 1: new teammates, adjusting to new coaches, a new environment, all 45 00:02:06,080 --> 00:02:08,720 Speaker 1: the trade and stuff happening. Uh, you know, even though 46 00:02:08,720 --> 00:02:10,560 Speaker 1: I didn't have to move far, it was still an adjustment, 47 00:02:10,600 --> 00:02:14,239 Speaker 1: you know, whereas this week kind of feel more comfortable. Um, 48 00:02:14,280 --> 00:02:16,799 Speaker 1: you know, the trade has already happened, and uh now 49 00:02:16,800 --> 00:02:18,920 Speaker 1: I'm just moving forward. I think times we have to 50 00:02:18,919 --> 00:02:21,399 Speaker 1: go to another gang before the play and be like, yeah, 51 00:02:21,880 --> 00:02:23,880 Speaker 1: what what what? Tell me what you do here Kennedy, 52 00:02:24,000 --> 00:02:26,480 Speaker 1: because yeah, definitely to pick up everything right, and yeah, 53 00:02:27,080 --> 00:02:28,480 Speaker 1: even if I know what, I would just like say 54 00:02:28,520 --> 00:02:30,600 Speaker 1: what I know and be like right. And then he 55 00:02:30,760 --> 00:02:35,040 Speaker 1: was Dex big Deck Lawrence. He's been helping me out 56 00:02:35,040 --> 00:02:36,560 Speaker 1: a lot just because we're in there a lot together, 57 00:02:36,600 --> 00:02:38,760 Speaker 1: and uh, you know he's even though he's a rookie, 58 00:02:38,840 --> 00:02:40,720 Speaker 1: he's a you know, he's a smart dude, and he's 59 00:02:40,720 --> 00:02:42,480 Speaker 1: been here for a while now I knows the defense, 60 00:02:42,560 --> 00:02:45,000 Speaker 1: so um, you know, there's not too many times where 61 00:02:45,000 --> 00:02:47,519 Speaker 1: I don't know not at all what I'm doing, but 62 00:02:47,840 --> 00:02:50,400 Speaker 1: just to like reiterate or like make sure, I'm just like, hey, 63 00:02:50,400 --> 00:02:52,919 Speaker 1: I got this right, and he's like yeah, yeah, yeah. 64 00:02:53,040 --> 00:02:55,040 Speaker 1: How long after the trade to send you to realize 65 00:02:55,040 --> 00:02:56,720 Speaker 1: that you're gonna be playing the Jets like two weeks 66 00:02:56,760 --> 00:02:59,919 Speaker 1: after right away. Oh yeah, I mean it basically happened 67 00:03:00,000 --> 00:03:01,560 Speaker 1: soon as like I traded. People were like, oh, that's crazy, 68 00:03:01,560 --> 00:03:02,959 Speaker 1: you guys are gonna play the Jets and you know 69 00:03:02,960 --> 00:03:05,000 Speaker 1: what I mean. And uh, what's interesting about it is 70 00:03:05,000 --> 00:03:07,440 Speaker 1: that they don't play each other in the regular season often, 71 00:03:07,560 --> 00:03:11,320 Speaker 1: so um, it's it's interesting that it happened, um this 72 00:03:11,440 --> 00:03:13,359 Speaker 1: year that we happen to be playing them right after 73 00:03:13,400 --> 00:03:15,800 Speaker 1: I got traded to the Giants, and uh, you know 74 00:03:15,880 --> 00:03:20,480 Speaker 1: it's gonna be fun. You're more knowledgeable about their flying 75 00:03:20,520 --> 00:03:22,600 Speaker 1: off to blying the most people. Why do you think 76 00:03:22,600 --> 00:03:27,120 Speaker 1: they're lying has struggled so much this year? Uh, I'm 77 00:03:27,160 --> 00:03:30,040 Speaker 1: not sure. I think possibly just because of chemistry. That's 78 00:03:30,040 --> 00:03:31,720 Speaker 1: what I've been trying to tell some of the D 79 00:03:31,840 --> 00:03:33,800 Speaker 1: line guys here is that, uh, you know, they have 80 00:03:33,880 --> 00:03:36,600 Speaker 1: some new pieces, they had some pieces go down and 81 00:03:36,680 --> 00:03:39,920 Speaker 1: some places pieces replaced and stuff like that. So you know, 82 00:03:40,200 --> 00:03:42,920 Speaker 1: as with any team, if you guys don't have enough chemistry, 83 00:03:43,000 --> 00:03:45,040 Speaker 1: is gonna be hard to work together. And that's one 84 00:03:45,040 --> 00:03:47,880 Speaker 1: position group that has to work together the most. You 85 00:03:47,960 --> 00:03:50,280 Speaker 1: see Libyan belt much closer than any of us have. 86 00:03:50,680 --> 00:03:53,440 Speaker 1: What about his skill set makes him a special I 87 00:03:53,440 --> 00:03:54,920 Speaker 1: mean that's hard for me to answer by myself. I 88 00:03:54,960 --> 00:03:57,800 Speaker 1: think that everyone knows who Levian is in this league. Um, 89 00:03:57,840 --> 00:03:59,720 Speaker 1: you know, no matter what stats are or anything he 90 00:03:59,760 --> 00:04:03,360 Speaker 1: has um in a year, everyone knows how talented that 91 00:04:03,360 --> 00:04:05,160 Speaker 1: guy is. Uh, he's one of the best backs in 92 00:04:05,160 --> 00:04:08,240 Speaker 1: the league. So during practice you were never able to hit, 93 00:04:08,280 --> 00:04:14,480 Speaker 1: saying yeah, yeah, that's funny because I actually, like randomly 94 00:04:14,480 --> 00:04:16,120 Speaker 1: thought in my head, like what if I like beat 95 00:04:16,160 --> 00:04:17,680 Speaker 1: somebody and I go to tackle Sam and I like 96 00:04:17,800 --> 00:04:19,600 Speaker 1: let up because I like can't hit them. But like, no, 97 00:04:19,760 --> 00:04:22,039 Speaker 1: that won't happen. Though, I finally get to tackle them, 98 00:04:22,040 --> 00:04:24,040 Speaker 1: and that's gonna be fun, and uh, you know it's 99 00:04:24,040 --> 00:04:27,839 Speaker 1: gonna be great. Your defensive coordinator was talking about getting 100 00:04:27,839 --> 00:04:30,200 Speaker 1: you in more situations where you would be at one 101 00:04:30,240 --> 00:04:32,520 Speaker 1: on one blocking. Yeah. I didn't hear a lot of 102 00:04:32,520 --> 00:04:35,599 Speaker 1: that at the other place that said to excite you, Yeah, 103 00:04:35,640 --> 00:04:38,200 Speaker 1: it definitely excites me. It shows me that, um, you 104 00:04:38,200 --> 00:04:42,719 Speaker 1: know that they're excited about me, and they they value uh, 105 00:04:43,080 --> 00:04:45,000 Speaker 1: you know, what I bring to the table, and you 106 00:04:45,000 --> 00:04:47,119 Speaker 1: know they want to set me up with as many 107 00:04:47,720 --> 00:04:51,039 Speaker 1: good opportunities and and and matchups for me, you know 108 00:04:51,040 --> 00:04:53,920 Speaker 1: what I mean? And you know that speaks volumes on 109 00:04:53,920 --> 00:04:57,200 Speaker 1: on the staff and uh and me as well. And 110 00:04:57,240 --> 00:04:59,120 Speaker 1: I have to prove to them why they wanted that, 111 00:04:59,120 --> 00:05:00,960 Speaker 1: why they should keep doing that. How much do you 112 00:05:01,000 --> 00:05:02,599 Speaker 1: look at it? It's like sort of like the missing 113 00:05:02,680 --> 00:05:04,800 Speaker 1: piece of like for you to get to the next 114 00:05:04,920 --> 00:05:07,240 Speaker 1: level less like that. How much do you look at 115 00:05:07,480 --> 00:05:09,159 Speaker 1: it like that might be the missing piece? Okay, this 116 00:05:09,240 --> 00:05:11,040 Speaker 1: is how I'm gonna get to that next level. It's 117 00:05:11,080 --> 00:05:13,440 Speaker 1: a player, right end up getting those sacks and getting 118 00:05:13,440 --> 00:05:16,760 Speaker 1: the regulation and becoming other teams like I need to 119 00:05:16,760 --> 00:05:18,680 Speaker 1: stop this guy. I mean, I obviously don't want to 120 00:05:18,720 --> 00:05:21,320 Speaker 1: make excuses. Everyone gets double teams, especially good players in 121 00:05:21,360 --> 00:05:22,920 Speaker 1: the league, and uh, you know I have to be 122 00:05:22,960 --> 00:05:24,920 Speaker 1: able to beat double teams as well, you know what 123 00:05:24,960 --> 00:05:28,400 Speaker 1: I mean. And that's just the nature of the game. Um, 124 00:05:28,520 --> 00:05:30,440 Speaker 1: I think, just keep working hard and keep staying out 125 00:05:30,440 --> 00:05:33,479 Speaker 1: of staying persistent. It's just what's gonna make it to 126 00:05:33,720 --> 00:05:36,920 Speaker 1: pass that hump. You keep saying it's gonna be fun. 127 00:05:37,040 --> 00:05:39,600 Speaker 1: Is it gonna be strange to play those guys? I 128 00:05:39,640 --> 00:05:42,320 Speaker 1: don't think it'll be strange enough. I've went to college 129 00:05:42,320 --> 00:05:44,360 Speaker 1: where people I've grown up high school with people. I've 130 00:05:44,360 --> 00:05:46,320 Speaker 1: played in the All American Games with people all my 131 00:05:46,360 --> 00:05:49,039 Speaker 1: life that I've lined up against, and uh, you know 132 00:05:49,120 --> 00:05:51,600 Speaker 1: I'm friends with off the field, but you know, on 133 00:05:51,640 --> 00:05:54,599 Speaker 1: the field and in between those lines were still going 134 00:05:54,640 --> 00:05:57,440 Speaker 1: against each other. So, um, I don't think it would 135 00:05:57,440 --> 00:06:00,520 Speaker 1: be totally strange. It might be a little strange just 136 00:06:00,560 --> 00:06:02,280 Speaker 1: to think that, you know, we played together for so long. 137 00:06:02,320 --> 00:06:03,880 Speaker 1: By the same time, it's like I'm seeing a different 138 00:06:03,920 --> 00:06:07,120 Speaker 1: color than what I'm wearing, So you know, once, I 139 00:06:07,160 --> 00:06:09,760 Speaker 1: think any football player has that mentality after a while 140 00:06:09,760 --> 00:06:11,520 Speaker 1: that like you see a different color and you go 141 00:06:11,600 --> 00:06:14,600 Speaker 1: at it. You know, you guys one first one. I 142 00:06:14,680 --> 00:06:16,520 Speaker 1: camp a lot, but like during the past of the season, 143 00:06:16,560 --> 00:06:18,720 Speaker 1: we don't get to see a lot of practice. Um, 144 00:06:18,760 --> 00:06:20,760 Speaker 1: I'm just more talking about you're familiar they were there 145 00:06:20,800 --> 00:06:23,640 Speaker 1: starting line. How much one one verse one stuff happens 146 00:06:23,640 --> 00:06:26,360 Speaker 1: in a practice during the season, you know, like, uh, 147 00:06:26,440 --> 00:06:30,240 Speaker 1: they'll probably be like at least one period of week 148 00:06:30,560 --> 00:06:32,800 Speaker 1: when you have one on ones, but it's a little 149 00:06:32,839 --> 00:06:35,000 Speaker 1: different during the week because you don't want to hurt guys, 150 00:06:35,160 --> 00:06:38,000 Speaker 1: you know, especially guys getting banged up and stuff. At 151 00:06:38,040 --> 00:06:39,400 Speaker 1: any of the end of the season, so there's not 152 00:06:39,440 --> 00:06:41,880 Speaker 1: too much of it, and if there is one on 153 00:06:41,960 --> 00:06:44,360 Speaker 1: one's happening, it's not really like full till all the time, 154 00:06:44,400 --> 00:06:45,720 Speaker 1: you know what I mean. So it's a little different. 155 00:06:45,760 --> 00:06:48,960 Speaker 1: So you you more so know their lineman as personalities 156 00:06:49,120 --> 00:06:53,120 Speaker 1: interns than than game speed tendencies as players. Yeah, exactly. 157 00:06:53,200 --> 00:06:56,560 Speaker 1: I still never had like full game speed, unless like 158 00:06:56,680 --> 00:06:59,080 Speaker 1: we're in camp, you know that was like game speed 159 00:06:59,120 --> 00:07:02,000 Speaker 1: and uh, you know, sometimes going against ones on ones, 160 00:07:02,160 --> 00:07:03,880 Speaker 1: but even in practice near the end of the season, 161 00:07:03,920 --> 00:07:05,880 Speaker 1: like I said, it's a little more slower down when 162 00:07:05,880 --> 00:07:07,840 Speaker 1: you guys are putting your ones against the one. So, 163 00:07:08,240 --> 00:07:09,960 Speaker 1: like I said, that's why I'm still preparing the same way. 164 00:07:09,960 --> 00:07:12,400 Speaker 1: I'm still watching film because you know, players that I 165 00:07:12,480 --> 00:07:14,840 Speaker 1: even know throughout practice and as a person as a 166 00:07:14,880 --> 00:07:17,640 Speaker 1: person could still be different on film when games be 167 00:07:18,440 --> 00:07:20,480 Speaker 1: when you with the judge, even though you only played 168 00:07:20,480 --> 00:07:22,920 Speaker 1: the Giants in the preseason, did the level we hold 169 00:07:23,080 --> 00:07:25,320 Speaker 1: some juice at all? I mean from this locker room, 170 00:07:25,320 --> 00:07:28,680 Speaker 1: it doesn't seem to hold much, did it from their perspective? 171 00:07:29,760 --> 00:07:31,560 Speaker 1: I mean, I definitely felt a little bit of it. 172 00:07:31,960 --> 00:07:35,200 Speaker 1: I'm not sure if it was a whole organization feeling 173 00:07:35,200 --> 00:07:37,480 Speaker 1: it or you know this ide feeling it more than 174 00:07:37,520 --> 00:07:39,960 Speaker 1: this side or anything like that. But I've personally felt 175 00:07:39,960 --> 00:07:43,720 Speaker 1: to myself just because you know, it's two New York teams. Um, 176 00:07:43,760 --> 00:07:45,680 Speaker 1: we play each other every year in the in the preseason. 177 00:07:45,680 --> 00:07:47,360 Speaker 1: Even though it's just preseason, like you said, it still 178 00:07:47,360 --> 00:07:49,640 Speaker 1: felt like it was like a Battle of New York 179 00:07:49,640 --> 00:07:51,240 Speaker 1: type of thing, you know what I mean. And uh, 180 00:07:51,480 --> 00:07:53,040 Speaker 1: you know, I just used it as a little extra 181 00:07:53,080 --> 00:07:53,840 Speaker 1: juice for the game.
