1
00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:01,960
Speaker 1: Joining us. Now I'd like to come him the big

2
00:00:01,960 --> 00:00:04,280
Speaker 1: man in the middle, one of several that is in

3
00:00:04,360 --> 00:00:06,880
Speaker 1: this Colts defense. The big man Grover Stewart is here.

4
00:00:06,920 --> 00:00:09,520
Speaker 1: You want me to start off with barbecue sort of

5
00:00:09,600 --> 00:00:12,200
Speaker 1: questions first because we are on the summertime at training camp.

6
00:00:12,320 --> 00:00:13,319
Speaker 1: Or do you want me to go to the Gust

7
00:00:13,360 --> 00:00:16,439
Speaker 1: Bradley defense. You can start off with any one. Now, okay,

8
00:00:16,480 --> 00:00:18,840
Speaker 1: I'll go with the I'll go with the question of

9
00:00:18,960 --> 00:00:22,840
Speaker 1: the question. Okay, well let's go there for Gus Bradley defense.

10
00:00:22,880 --> 00:00:24,320
Speaker 1: You guys know what you did last year, you and

11
00:00:24,360 --> 00:00:27,560
Speaker 1: the forest dominant on the inside. Now you ever bringing

12
00:00:27,680 --> 00:00:30,120
Speaker 1: Gus Bradley a big raw rob players type of a coach.

13
00:00:30,200 --> 00:00:32,159
Speaker 1: What's the difference from last year to this year? And

14
00:00:32,240 --> 00:00:34,360
Speaker 1: are you fitting in? Do you feel comfortable? I don't

15
00:00:34,400 --> 00:00:37,440
Speaker 1: let the difference like to play calling, like the playing style,

16
00:00:37,520 --> 00:00:41,120
Speaker 1: like like the guys who're gonna fly off the ball, penetrate,

17
00:00:41,880 --> 00:00:44,040
Speaker 1: like setting a new line of scrimmage and mess out

18
00:00:44,040 --> 00:00:46,000
Speaker 1: of the bat field. So it plan styles there to

19
00:00:46,040 --> 00:00:47,960
Speaker 1: sign just a different call. And you have a unique

20
00:00:48,040 --> 00:00:50,239
Speaker 1: job in the world that is literally every time you

21
00:00:50,280 --> 00:00:52,480
Speaker 1: go to work, it's a bar fight. So you got

22
00:00:52,479 --> 00:00:55,560
Speaker 1: to find out the comfortability at this place at training

23
00:00:55,600 --> 00:00:58,040
Speaker 1: camp for that, getting the body acclimated to that. How

24
00:00:58,080 --> 00:00:59,760
Speaker 1: have you been. We've been in pads a few days now.

25
00:01:00,120 --> 00:01:03,600
Speaker 1: I've been pretty good, man. You know me that that's

26
00:01:03,640 --> 00:01:06,320
Speaker 1: in my blood. Like when I come in, I wake up,

27
00:01:06,319 --> 00:01:08,960
Speaker 1: I'm ready to get to it. So double team, triple team,

28
00:01:08,959 --> 00:01:12,640
Speaker 1: and I'm ready triple team. He ain't kidding triple team

29
00:01:12,680 --> 00:01:15,560
Speaker 1: this man. Well, you do talk about that, that different

30
00:01:15,600 --> 00:01:18,600
Speaker 1: philosophy up front along the defensive line. It's that attack

31
00:01:18,720 --> 00:01:22,480
Speaker 1: front mentality For those that don't know and can't understand that,

32
00:01:22,520 --> 00:01:25,399
Speaker 1: what are the subtle differences and what they're asking of

33
00:01:25,560 --> 00:01:28,640
Speaker 1: you and the gust Bradley defense compared two years past?

34
00:01:29,200 --> 00:01:32,080
Speaker 1: So right now, Well, this year were getting off the ball,

35
00:01:32,120 --> 00:01:34,600
Speaker 1: getting up fail messing out the bat field and the

36
00:01:34,680 --> 00:01:38,039
Speaker 1: linebacker clean us up. Last year, we'll get off, but

37
00:01:38,080 --> 00:01:41,600
Speaker 1: we wasn't like penetrating, like we'll play all block then

38
00:01:41,680 --> 00:01:43,600
Speaker 1: rip off all block. This year they got to try

39
00:01:43,640 --> 00:01:46,760
Speaker 1: to block us instead of trying to get to them.

40
00:01:46,760 --> 00:01:49,240
Speaker 1: So we just shoot a gap man and penetrate. Right,

41
00:01:49,640 --> 00:01:53,040
Speaker 1: mindset wise and philosophy wise, do you find yourself playing

42
00:01:53,120 --> 00:01:56,160
Speaker 1: freer and easier and less things to worry about and

43
00:01:56,240 --> 00:01:59,200
Speaker 1: the compartmentalize. Yes, I feel free, man, because I could

44
00:01:59,240 --> 00:02:02,080
Speaker 1: just get off, don't have to worry about this block

45
00:02:02,160 --> 00:02:04,480
Speaker 1: going this way, that block going this way. I'm going

46
00:02:04,520 --> 00:02:06,120
Speaker 1: to scrape. They're gonna have to try to come and

47
00:02:06,200 --> 00:02:09,440
Speaker 1: get me. So, Hey, your teammates have said in years

48
00:02:09,440 --> 00:02:11,679
Speaker 1: passed and even up through this training camp, you make

49
00:02:11,760 --> 00:02:14,200
Speaker 1: their job easier. What do they mean by that? Grober?

50
00:02:14,760 --> 00:02:17,040
Speaker 1: So I'm gonna guy in the middleman, and like I'll

51
00:02:17,080 --> 00:02:20,000
Speaker 1: take on two guys. Oh, I get back there, like

52
00:02:20,120 --> 00:02:22,400
Speaker 1: mess up the line of scrimmage, had them with open

53
00:02:22,520 --> 00:02:26,040
Speaker 1: lanes for the gas could come fly through, I penetrate,

54
00:02:26,400 --> 00:02:29,360
Speaker 1: have like the defensive line overlap me. So like I

55
00:02:29,440 --> 00:02:31,600
Speaker 1: just get in there and do my job, man, and

56
00:02:31,720 --> 00:02:34,280
Speaker 1: like make it hard for the offensive line. Absolutely, tell

57
00:02:34,280 --> 00:02:36,079
Speaker 1: me a little bit about Quitty paying on the other side,

58
00:02:36,160 --> 00:02:38,960
Speaker 1: Yanniken Gockway. What they're bringing in this defense this year, Man,

59
00:02:39,000 --> 00:02:41,959
Speaker 1: they're bringing a lot man Quitty in the Gockway. They're

60
00:02:41,960 --> 00:02:44,640
Speaker 1: gonna be burning the edge man, flushing the quarterback to me.

61
00:02:44,720 --> 00:02:47,679
Speaker 1: So that's a good okay, Okay, yes, Grober. When I

62
00:02:47,840 --> 00:02:50,040
Speaker 1: when we're watching one on ones, when the old line

63
00:02:50,040 --> 00:02:51,720
Speaker 1: of the D line are going up and you're squared

64
00:02:51,760 --> 00:02:54,240
Speaker 1: off against either a guard or a center. I mean

65
00:02:54,480 --> 00:02:57,120
Speaker 1: when you get low, when you get underneath their pads,

66
00:02:57,360 --> 00:02:59,880
Speaker 1: I mean it's over man. Oh yeah, right, I mean,

67
00:03:00,160 --> 00:03:03,119
Speaker 1: can you just speak to you know how intense those

68
00:03:03,160 --> 00:03:05,400
Speaker 1: one on one drills are. And if you get leverage

69
00:03:05,400 --> 00:03:06,960
Speaker 1: on a guy, there's nobody in this league that you

70
00:03:06,960 --> 00:03:09,320
Speaker 1: think you can't take advantage of. If I have a

71
00:03:09,320 --> 00:03:12,040
Speaker 1: consistent pad level, man, nobody will be able to block me.

72
00:03:12,280 --> 00:03:14,359
Speaker 1: Like you said, you're seeing it at practice. Like, if

73
00:03:14,400 --> 00:03:16,160
Speaker 1: I get up on the guy, it's gonna be a

74
00:03:16,160 --> 00:03:18,799
Speaker 1: long day. Because right, I wanted to scrung as quick

75
00:03:18,800 --> 00:03:21,480
Speaker 1: as guys, So I'm gonna make it hard for you

76
00:03:21,639 --> 00:03:24,840
Speaker 1: in this defense. In a four three defense with Gus Bradley,

77
00:03:24,919 --> 00:03:28,640
Speaker 1: how key is interior pressure to the success of what

78
00:03:28,720 --> 00:03:30,920
Speaker 1: you guys want to get done. It's very key to

79
00:03:30,960 --> 00:03:34,400
Speaker 1: this defense because if we don't penetrate, If men but

80
00:03:34,600 --> 00:03:37,440
Speaker 1: don't penetrate in the middle, the linebackers are gonna be

81
00:03:37,680 --> 00:03:39,760
Speaker 1: They're gonna look cloudy for them. They ain't gonna be

82
00:03:39,760 --> 00:03:42,880
Speaker 1: ale to play fast. So it's real big for us

83
00:03:42,920 --> 00:03:46,480
Speaker 1: to penetrate and like just go for the linebacker could

84
00:03:46,480 --> 00:03:49,280
Speaker 1: come downhill or they could drop the coverage. We're talking

85
00:03:49,320 --> 00:03:52,000
Speaker 1: to Grover Stuart and new position coaches come in. You

86
00:03:52,040 --> 00:03:55,320
Speaker 1: guys got to be have a relationship immediately. You know,

87
00:03:55,360 --> 00:03:57,720
Speaker 1: in this league you have to be on the same page.

88
00:03:57,920 --> 00:04:00,360
Speaker 1: Nate Alie a new guy in here this year. How's

89
00:04:00,360 --> 00:04:03,160
Speaker 1: he made you better so far? Nate? Really just making

90
00:04:03,200 --> 00:04:05,520
Speaker 1: it fun and easy for us. Man Like he letting

91
00:04:05,600 --> 00:04:08,720
Speaker 1: us be free. Like he gives us like an opportunity

92
00:04:08,840 --> 00:04:10,760
Speaker 1: to do what you want to do as long as

93
00:04:10,800 --> 00:04:13,600
Speaker 1: it working. But if it's not done, like, don't do it.

94
00:04:13,680 --> 00:04:16,680
Speaker 1: So like he's making it easy for us. And he's

95
00:04:16,720 --> 00:04:18,360
Speaker 1: a young guy. I mean it's right. I mean he's

96
00:04:18,360 --> 00:04:20,000
Speaker 1: not that much older than you. Do you feel like

97
00:04:20,000 --> 00:04:23,599
Speaker 1: you're you're bonding with him same kind of generation and

98
00:04:23,880 --> 00:04:25,960
Speaker 1: same kind of interests in terms of just being young

99
00:04:26,000 --> 00:04:29,280
Speaker 1: and understanding the game and seeing it similarly. Yes, home

100
00:04:29,360 --> 00:04:32,240
Speaker 1: boned with him through the generation and like through the

101
00:04:32,279 --> 00:04:34,960
Speaker 1: coaching wibe because he teaching me a lot, like showing

102
00:04:35,000 --> 00:04:37,479
Speaker 1: me new things and helped me out along the journey.

103
00:04:37,480 --> 00:04:39,520
Speaker 1: So all right, Grover Stewart right there, you know, I

104
00:04:39,560 --> 00:04:44,520
Speaker 1: want to transition man, I'm dying before you transition. I'm

105
00:04:44,520 --> 00:04:47,080
Speaker 1: trying to transition about some cooking skills because he's one

106
00:04:47,120 --> 00:04:49,120
Speaker 1: of the best in the league, on the team in

107
00:04:49,160 --> 00:04:51,800
Speaker 1: the league. I understand that everybody in Hard Knocks saw that.

108
00:04:51,920 --> 00:04:54,240
Speaker 1: One more thing. I mean, you're a six year guy

109
00:04:54,279 --> 00:04:56,320
Speaker 1: out of New Albany or out of Albany State. I

110
00:04:56,360 --> 00:04:58,600
Speaker 1: should say, I think you've got this quote. A few

111
00:04:58,640 --> 00:05:01,880
Speaker 1: years back you said I will never get cut until

112
00:05:01,920 --> 00:05:04,200
Speaker 1: I retire. And you are one of the best nose

113
00:05:04,240 --> 00:05:06,360
Speaker 1: tackles in the game coming out of you know where

114
00:05:06,640 --> 00:05:09,240
Speaker 1: you're from, and here you are having massive staying power.

115
00:05:09,480 --> 00:05:11,520
Speaker 1: How much pride do you take in the fact that

116
00:05:11,720 --> 00:05:15,039
Speaker 1: heading into year number six, fourth round guy, you know,

117
00:05:15,120 --> 00:05:17,160
Speaker 1: not from a power of five school, you're still here

118
00:05:17,160 --> 00:05:19,039
Speaker 1: and you know you're still making a name for yourself.

119
00:05:19,200 --> 00:05:20,640
Speaker 1: First of all, I want to say, it's a blessing

120
00:05:20,720 --> 00:05:22,719
Speaker 1: man for me to be out here and like performing

121
00:05:22,760 --> 00:05:26,159
Speaker 1: the way I do right now. But like every morning

122
00:05:26,320 --> 00:05:29,960
Speaker 1: I wake up, man, and I'd be like I can't

123
00:05:30,000 --> 00:05:33,160
Speaker 1: get cut, Like I'm still hungry, like I'm still fighting

124
00:05:33,160 --> 00:05:35,320
Speaker 1: for a position. Now, you're still that mindset. You're a

125
00:05:35,400 --> 00:05:37,200
Speaker 1: rookie trying to make the team, sir, and like I

126
00:05:37,200 --> 00:05:39,880
Speaker 1: will always have that like if you get too comfortable,

127
00:05:39,880 --> 00:05:43,360
Speaker 1: you'll be replaceable. So that's why I'm always uncomfortable because

128
00:05:43,520 --> 00:05:45,480
Speaker 1: you'll never know. It's a business self. Well, you can

129
00:05:45,480 --> 00:05:47,960
Speaker 1: see it in practice. You approach it like it's do

130
00:05:48,160 --> 00:05:50,320
Speaker 1: or die out here, yes, sir, And I'm gonna keep

131
00:05:50,360 --> 00:05:53,440
Speaker 1: coming out here. I give the once my best and

132
00:05:53,480 --> 00:05:55,360
Speaker 1: they give me that best self. Yeah, I'm not going

133
00:05:55,400 --> 00:05:57,160
Speaker 1: on a limb and I'll make this hot take. I

139
00:06:11,720 --> 00:06:14,520
Speaker 1: in this league. I mean I could play a whole game.

140
00:06:14,560 --> 00:06:16,520
Speaker 1: I could play. What do you want to play? Though?

141

Speaker 1: in the way that you are now as far as

149
00:06:34,600 --> 00:06:37,080
Speaker 1: being the man in the middle. But yeah, I know
