1 00:00:01,000 --> 00:00:05,200 Speaker 1: Good. How you doing like the lead. Uh, it's been good. 2 00:00:05,280 --> 00:00:07,800 Speaker 1: Getting adjusted. Uh been here for a few weeks now, Uh, 3 00:00:07,920 --> 00:00:10,560 Speaker 1: getting another coaches some of the players, So it's been 4 00:00:10,560 --> 00:00:16,480 Speaker 1: going smooth. Yeah. So I actually went to college with 5 00:00:16,680 --> 00:00:21,480 Speaker 1: uh Dietrich Wise, UH Hunter Henry, Uh, Michael Petway uh 6 00:00:21,720 --> 00:00:23,919 Speaker 1: trails here. He's not here right now, but uh yeah, 7 00:00:23,960 --> 00:00:29,520 Speaker 1: so few Arkansas tires here. Yeah, yeah, yeah, a lot 8 00:00:29,560 --> 00:00:40,599 Speaker 1: of good players. Uh. I think one thing that's benefited 9 00:00:40,600 --> 00:00:42,120 Speaker 1: me since I've been in the NFL, I've been able 10 00:00:42,120 --> 00:00:44,400 Speaker 1: to play up and down the line. Uh. I was 11 00:00:44,479 --> 00:00:47,080 Speaker 1: drafted to Mike Zimmerman's defense, which is the four to three. 12 00:00:47,320 --> 00:00:51,040 Speaker 1: Uh transitioned last year of Pittsburgh to a three four, 13 00:00:51,200 --> 00:00:54,040 Speaker 1: So I pretty much been familiar with a lot of systems. Uh. 14 00:00:54,040 --> 00:00:55,960 Speaker 1: I've played any worth from the zero to the five. 15 00:00:56,600 --> 00:00:58,440 Speaker 1: So I think that's one thing that's benefited me with 16 00:00:58,480 --> 00:01:00,480 Speaker 1: my body type and what I've been able to do 17 00:01:00,560 --> 00:01:31,440 Speaker 1: versus the past and stuff like that. Party all. Uh. 18 00:01:31,560 --> 00:01:33,679 Speaker 1: One thing about this team is they've been to the 19 00:01:33,720 --> 00:01:36,360 Speaker 1: highest hires was the Super Bowl, and uh last year, 20 00:01:36,360 --> 00:01:38,319 Speaker 1: like you said, they struggled a little bit. So they 21 00:01:38,400 --> 00:01:40,679 Speaker 1: know the formula, what it takes to win and uh, 22 00:01:41,000 --> 00:01:42,320 Speaker 1: you know, when you got guys that was able to 23 00:01:42,319 --> 00:01:44,839 Speaker 1: stay the course and uh, you know, bring other guys 24 00:01:44,880 --> 00:01:46,720 Speaker 1: up with 'em, it's always good. I've been a part 25 00:01:46,760 --> 00:01:49,200 Speaker 1: of a losing team. Uh in Chicago, we had our struggles, 26 00:01:49,680 --> 00:01:52,160 Speaker 1: and uh we've had great players. But one thing about 27 00:01:52,160 --> 00:01:55,040 Speaker 1: this defense, it stands out guys play hard, tough, and 28 00:01:55,240 --> 00:01:57,720 Speaker 1: are very productive at what they do. So I'm excited 29 00:01:57,720 --> 00:02:08,800 Speaker 1: to come in and help. Uh. He's good, he's uh. 30 00:02:08,840 --> 00:02:10,880 Speaker 1: I think he relates to the players, of course. Uh. 31 00:02:11,040 --> 00:02:13,560 Speaker 1: He was a great player here. Uh. So he knows 32 00:02:14,040 --> 00:02:16,760 Speaker 1: the ins and out of the city, this organization, and 33 00:02:16,840 --> 00:02:18,840 Speaker 1: so he kind of knows a blueprint. And when you 34 00:02:18,880 --> 00:02:21,040 Speaker 1: know the blueprint, you can always handle down the guys. 35 00:02:21,080 --> 00:02:23,520 Speaker 1: And I'm pretty sure what I've witnessed a lot of 36 00:02:23,520 --> 00:02:26,840 Speaker 1: guys are willing to follow his uh blueprinting. I think 37 00:02:26,880 --> 00:02:37,080 Speaker 1: it's gonna be fun. Okay, that's it. That's about fut 38 00:02:39,440 --> 00:02:44,000 Speaker 1: in Pittsburgh. H Yeah. Uh he's a great guy, very athletic, UH, tall, lean. 39 00:02:44,440 --> 00:02:46,920 Speaker 1: Uh he's been in this league for a while. Uh. 40 00:02:47,080 --> 00:02:49,320 Speaker 1: Great guy in the locker room. Uh. I'm excited to 41 00:02:49,320 --> 00:02:56,800 Speaker 1: see what he does here. Uh not really, I was 42 00:02:56,840 --> 00:03:00,000 Speaker 1: drafted with ninety six. Uh. I was ninety four last year. Uh, 43 00:03:00,000 --> 00:03:03,160 Speaker 1: it's pretty productive with it, so from what I was given. 44 00:03:03,680 --> 00:03:05,480 Speaker 1: You know, just whenever you can keep the same number, 45 00:03:05,520 --> 00:03:11,760 Speaker 1: it's always good. I'm still kind of getting to know guys. 46 00:03:11,800 --> 00:03:14,720 Speaker 1: But he's a young coach. I feel like it really 47 00:03:14,760 --> 00:03:17,800 Speaker 1: knows what he's doing. Uh. He gives a game uh 48 00:03:17,960 --> 00:03:20,280 Speaker 1: as easy as possible. And I think when you got 49 00:03:20,280 --> 00:03:23,919 Speaker 1: coaches that can give you the layout as easy as possible, 50 00:03:23,960 --> 00:03:26,240 Speaker 1: you can relate to. It's always good. But I like 51 00:03:26,280 --> 00:03:28,240 Speaker 1: his demeanor. I think he's gonna get the best out 52 00:03:28,280 --> 00:03:34,040 Speaker 1: of us. So I'm excited to work with him. Yeah, 53 00:03:34,040 --> 00:03:36,440 Speaker 1: I mean, you got a defensive coordinator who's been a 54 00:03:36,480 --> 00:03:38,480 Speaker 1: defensive line coach. I feel like it's easier to come 55 00:03:38,520 --> 00:03:39,720 Speaker 1: and talk to him when you play on that D 56 00:03:39,760 --> 00:03:42,800 Speaker 1: line because he knows the details of what I need 57 00:03:42,840 --> 00:03:44,960 Speaker 1: to do to be successful. And from what I've heard 58 00:03:44,960 --> 00:03:46,520 Speaker 1: so some of the guys like wise and guys. So 59 00:03:46,640 --> 00:03:49,120 Speaker 1: he's a great guy. And UH, he's definitely gonna demand 60 00:03:49,120 --> 00:03:51,280 Speaker 1: the best out of that group because it always starts 61 00:03:51,280 --> 00:03:53,240 Speaker 1: with the guys up front. So, like I said, I'm 62 00:03:53,240 --> 00:03:54,880 Speaker 1: excited to work with him. Well, I was like, I 63 00:03:54,960 --> 00:03:58,760 Speaker 1: love is free most what you know about the pass 64 00:03:58,800 --> 00:04:02,880 Speaker 1: defense style play last years taking any time of that 65 00:04:03,000 --> 00:04:04,880 Speaker 1: kind of stuff. Yeah, So we played them last year 66 00:04:04,880 --> 00:04:07,080 Speaker 1: in Pittsburgh. They came up to them, came up to 67 00:04:07,120 --> 00:04:10,440 Speaker 1: Pittsburgh and obviously we were kind of rolling at the time, 68 00:04:10,480 --> 00:04:12,840 Speaker 1: and they came in and uh were able to beat us. 69 00:04:12,920 --> 00:04:14,920 Speaker 1: And one thing I just noticed, those guys play hard, 70 00:04:15,040 --> 00:04:17,760 Speaker 1: no matter how many games they've won, no matter the circumstances. 71 00:04:18,400 --> 00:04:21,080 Speaker 1: They play all four quarters and they stick to what 72 00:04:21,080 --> 00:04:22,880 Speaker 1: they know. And we got guys that play as a 73 00:04:22,920 --> 00:04:26,200 Speaker 1: team and that kind of individual driven It's always good. 74 00:04:26,320 --> 00:04:28,120 Speaker 1: And I think that's one thing that stood out last 75 00:04:28,160 --> 00:04:31,480 Speaker 1: year about those guys is they were pretty despite the record, 76 00:04:31,480 --> 00:04:38,680 Speaker 1: they were pretty efficient at what they did. Sure, Like 77 00:04:38,760 --> 00:04:41,080 Speaker 1: I say, just being able to plug me in wherever 78 00:04:41,160 --> 00:04:44,599 Speaker 1: down the line of I've had some success with rushing 79 00:04:44,640 --> 00:04:47,760 Speaker 1: the passer, and I think some guys and some coaches 80 00:04:47,800 --> 00:04:49,360 Speaker 1: here is gonna help me take that to the next 81 00:04:49,440 --> 00:04:53,640 Speaker 1: level given this opportunity. Last year was better for me 82 00:04:53,800 --> 00:04:57,320 Speaker 1: run wise also efficiency. So I think I'm at that 83 00:04:57,360 --> 00:05:00,440 Speaker 1: point of my career where everything's coming together and I'm 84 00:05:00,440 --> 00:05:02,280 Speaker 1: starting to reap the benefits of it. So I'm excited 85 00:05:02,320 --> 00:05:08,080 Speaker 1: to see how the Patriots take my game to another level. 86 00:05:08,560 --> 00:05:11,719 Speaker 1: Uh not really. You know, on the outside looking at 87 00:05:11,800 --> 00:05:14,120 Speaker 1: you hear things about New England, how those guys work. 88 00:05:15,400 --> 00:05:18,240 Speaker 1: But I think the difference between places I've been at work. 89 00:05:18,320 --> 00:05:20,279 Speaker 1: But it's good work, So you know, you don't you 90 00:05:20,279 --> 00:05:22,080 Speaker 1: don't tend to complain about it because it benefits you 91 00:05:22,080 --> 00:05:33,960 Speaker 1: in the long run. So, like you said, I played 92 00:05:34,000 --> 00:05:36,279 Speaker 1: around some good players. I was drafted with Linvil, Joseph 93 00:05:36,320 --> 00:05:40,760 Speaker 1: in the Room, Daniel Hunter, Everson Griffin, guys like that. 94 00:05:40,960 --> 00:05:44,800 Speaker 1: So being able to learn to be a professional alongside 95 00:05:44,880 --> 00:05:48,200 Speaker 1: those guys has always helped me. Like you said, t J. Watt, 96 00:05:48,800 --> 00:05:53,080 Speaker 1: Cam Hayward, even Alex height Tower him being young, those 97 00:05:53,080 --> 00:05:55,760 Speaker 1: guys want to help slingshot you to the next level. 98 00:05:56,160 --> 00:05:59,000 Speaker 1: And just being able to learn little tactics for its footwork, 99 00:05:59,560 --> 00:06:01,800 Speaker 1: how to be guys on certain blocks. You know. I 100 00:06:01,839 --> 00:06:03,800 Speaker 1: try to soak up as much information from those guys 101 00:06:03,800 --> 00:06:05,800 Speaker 1: as possible. That way, when you get out there, it 102 00:06:05,800 --> 00:06:15,640 Speaker 1: makes the game a lot easier for you, those guys. 103 00:06:15,880 --> 00:06:17,640 Speaker 1: Me being in the mean room, those guys so far, 104 00:06:18,000 --> 00:06:21,520 Speaker 1: they've been great teachers. They've you can't even tell I've 105 00:06:21,520 --> 00:06:23,960 Speaker 1: been a newcomer. Day welcomed me with open arms. Like 106 00:06:24,000 --> 00:06:25,680 Speaker 1: I said, I played with Teachers in college, so I 107 00:06:25,720 --> 00:06:27,880 Speaker 1: know the type of guy he is. DG. He's a 108 00:06:27,880 --> 00:06:31,680 Speaker 1: great guy. Those guys are kind of past Run. You know. 109 00:06:31,720 --> 00:06:34,880 Speaker 1: They kind of compliment each other well so obviously the guys. 110 00:06:34,880 --> 00:06:36,320 Speaker 1: So I was better at run, so I'm excited to 111 00:06:36,320 --> 00:06:38,760 Speaker 1: work with him on that. And Teachers been successful with 112 00:06:38,800 --> 00:06:41,360 Speaker 1: passwor uds, So like I said, it's a good compliment 113 00:06:41,400 --> 00:06:43,479 Speaker 1: and I'm gonna take as much information as i can 114 00:06:43,520 --> 00:06:54,880 Speaker 1: from those guys. Yeah, a little bit, not really, just 115 00:06:54,960 --> 00:06:56,599 Speaker 1: kind of catching up and getting to know the guys. 116 00:06:57,480 --> 00:06:59,880 Speaker 1: We've watched some film on it, a few few players. 117 00:07:00,080 --> 00:07:03,000 Speaker 1: But like I said, it was a to think that 118 00:07:03,040 --> 00:07:05,760 Speaker 1: I would be here, uh a year ago. It's kind 119 00:07:05,800 --> 00:07:15,280 Speaker 1: of crazy, but I'm excited to be here. Yeah, yeah, 120 00:07:15,360 --> 00:07:17,680 Speaker 1: uh yeah.

So we got guys 136 00:08:05,320 --> 00:08:07,440 Speaker 1: like that who've been around for a long time. Obviously 137 00:08:07,480 --> 00:08:10,360 Speaker 1: they're doing something good. So I've come across guys like him, 138 00:08:10,720 --> 00:08:15,120 Speaker 1: obviously Bear Christian he's been good. He's been coming along 139 00:08:15,160 --> 00:08:18,440 Speaker 1: pretty good. I'm excited to work with him. He's a 140 00:08:18,440 --> 00:08:20,960 Speaker 1: guy that's kind of got the similar statue. And obviously 141 00:08:21,000 --> 00:08:22,800 Speaker 1: he had a great year last year, so I saw 142 00:08:22,840 --> 00:08:24,920 Speaker 1: some film on him. Excited to get to know him 143 00:08:24,920 --> 00:08:27,080 Speaker 1: and what he's been able to do. And if I 144 00:08:27,120 --> 00:08:30,160 Speaker 1: followed the DG with his career for a while from 145 00:08:30,200 --> 00:08:33,239 Speaker 1: Miami and seeing what he's done here, he's been successful. 146 00:08:33,559 --> 00:08:35,600 Speaker 1: So yeah, kind of did my homework on a few 147 00:08:35,600 --> 00:08:48,160 Speaker 1: of those guys. Yeah, I don't know why I've never 148 00:08:48,160 --> 00:08:50,880 Speaker 1: been to a warm team, but I'm used to the 149 00:08:50,920 --> 00:08:53,480 Speaker 1: cold Minnesota we had an indoor, but we had those 150 00:08:53,520 --> 00:08:56,240 Speaker 1: cold teams, So you know, it's definitely something you got 151 00:08:56,240 --> 00:08:57,880 Speaker 1: to get used to. And this is going on my 152 00:08:57,960 --> 00:08:59,400 Speaker 1: six years, so I'm kind of used to it. I 153 00:08:59,440 --> 00:09:00,640 Speaker 1: know the ends and out, I know how to stay 154 00:09:00,640 --> 00:09:10,400 Speaker 1: warm in environments like this. Yeah. So, uh, with the 155 00:09:10,440 --> 00:09:12,520 Speaker 1: teams I've come from, has always been a run hard 156 00:09:12,559 --> 00:09:14,439 Speaker 1: type teams, especially when you can do it in a 157 00:09:14,480 --> 00:09:17,280 Speaker 1: cold Uh. So you've gotta have tough guys up front 158 00:09:17,320 --> 00:09:19,520 Speaker 1: who's not afraid to get their hands dirty and play 159 00:09:19,559 --> 00:09:23,120 Speaker 1: through whatever circumstances. So uh, I think I'm excited for 160 00:09:23,160 --> 00:09:25,559 Speaker 1: that because it's a benefit for me since I've been 161 00:09:25,600 --> 00:09:30,000 Speaker 1: to it. It's not something new I'll be experiencing. So yeah, Well, 162 00:09:30,040 --> 00:09:32,200 Speaker 1: what's been the conveying to you, you know, especially as 163 00:09:32,200 --> 00:09:35,040 Speaker 1: if you've cover about what the stefense will be about 164 00:09:35,080 --> 00:09:38,920 Speaker 1: between the coles are year bas Uh. I think, like 165 00:09:38,960 --> 00:09:40,840 Speaker 1: I said, those guys just some really good things last 166 00:09:40,880 --> 00:09:43,760 Speaker 1: year despite the record. But uh, like coach is saying, 167 00:09:43,760 --> 00:09:46,120 Speaker 1: he wants to get more sacks. Uh, wants to get 168 00:09:46,120 --> 00:09:48,559 Speaker 1: the ball more. And I think, uh, those two things 169 00:09:48,559 --> 00:09:50,960 Speaker 1: are gonna be a big emphasis for us this year. So, 170 00:09:51,040 --> 00:09:52,560 Speaker 1: like I said, with me knowing a little bit about 171 00:09:52,559 --> 00:09:54,800 Speaker 1: pass rush, I'm excited to see how I can help 172 00:09:54,800 --> 00:10:01,640 Speaker 1: in that area. Uh DC DC uh second life sacks 173 00:10:01,640 --> 00:10:02,920 Speaker 1: and when you look at his stats and all, that 174 00:10:03,000 --> 00:10:04,600 Speaker 1: was a big year. But do you remember about your 175 00:10:05,000 --> 00:10:08,959 Speaker 1: life click that year to your ward to take decent Uh? Yeah, 176 00:10:09,000 --> 00:10:11,240 Speaker 1: So I had a defensive tackle Mike Peers. He got 177 00:10:11,320 --> 00:10:13,079 Speaker 1: hurt and I was able to step up and seize 178 00:10:13,080 --> 00:10:16,719 Speaker 1: that opportunity. Uh. It always helps me. You can rush against, 179 00:10:16,960 --> 00:10:19,440 Speaker 1: not against, but alongside guys like ever since Griffin than 180 00:10:19,520 --> 00:10:21,800 Speaker 1: Neil Hunter, and we got some good pass rushes here. 181 00:10:21,840 --> 00:10:24,840 Speaker 1: Also number nine, he's been great. So uh when you 182 00:10:24,920 --> 00:10:26,559 Speaker 1: learn how to like work off of guys like that 183 00:10:26,920 --> 00:10:30,120 Speaker 1: and they can rush together, and uh, I think that's 184 00:10:30,160 --> 00:10:32,200 Speaker 1: kind of what benefited me being in good shape and 185 00:10:32,280 --> 00:10:34,520 Speaker 1: just being able to know what I do best. You know, 186 00:10:34,600 --> 00:10:37,400 Speaker 1: obviously that year I was really good at past and 187 00:10:37,440 --> 00:10:39,839 Speaker 1: I was able to get more reps and opportunities. So 188 00:10:40,040 --> 00:10:42,079 Speaker 1: I feel like this year it'll be a similar opportunity 189 00:10:42,120 --> 00:10:44,199 Speaker 1: with me getting those reps that I need to showcase 190 00:10:44,320 --> 00:10:46,720 Speaker 1: what I can do. Oh like, let's getting more sex 191 00:10:46,840 --> 00:10:48,360 Speaker 1: is here watching your game? You got a lot of 192 00:10:48,400 --> 00:10:50,360 Speaker 1: tools in your bag as a pass rusher, What would 193 00:10:50,400 --> 00:10:53,360 Speaker 1: you say is your favorite? And why I try not 194 00:10:53,400 --> 00:10:56,000 Speaker 1: to get her a way off to bat cause guys 195 00:10:56,080 --> 00:10:58,600 Speaker 1: know that, but uh, just being able to I played 196 00:10:58,640 --> 00:11:00,640 Speaker 1: basketball a lot growing up, so just being able to 197 00:11:00,640 --> 00:11:03,199 Speaker 1: have good footwork. And uh, of course I like the 198 00:11:03,240 --> 00:11:05,280 Speaker 1: double swipe that's always been on film a lot with 199 00:11:05,360 --> 00:11:07,600 Speaker 1: some of my sacks. But uh, just using my hands 200 00:11:07,600 --> 00:11:09,640 Speaker 1: as much as possible, because as a d lineman, that's 201 00:11:10,200 --> 00:11:12,000 Speaker 1: that's that's gotta be in your tool box on what 202 00:11:12,080 --> 00:11:16,720 Speaker 1: you can do. So imagine that the double swipe armana 203 00:11:17,000 --> 00:11:20,200 Speaker 1: side filming seems like your go to move. You know 204 00:11:20,200 --> 00:11:23,000 Speaker 1: what about that move? Do you do you like the month? Uh? 205 00:11:23,040 --> 00:11:24,640 Speaker 1: It really just depends on the old lineman I'm going 206 00:11:24,679 --> 00:11:27,440 Speaker 1: against on what they give me. Uh. Sometimes I can't 207 00:11:27,440 --> 00:11:29,400 Speaker 1: really bring it right out the gate because they might 208 00:11:29,440 --> 00:11:31,360 Speaker 1: know that's my go to move, so I kind of 209 00:11:31,360 --> 00:11:34,320 Speaker 1: got to set it up throughout the game. But you know, 210 00:11:34,400 --> 00:11:37,160 Speaker 1: once you you might have thirty pass rushes, but you 211 00:11:37,200 --> 00:11:39,120 Speaker 1: get three of those successful with the double swipe, you know, 212 00:11:39,160 --> 00:11:41,200 Speaker 1: they might be one of two sacks. So it's all 213 00:11:41,240 --> 00:11:43,120 Speaker 1: about just setting it up and knowing when to use 214 00:11:43,160 --> 00:11:55,000 Speaker 1: it against certain guys always. Uh, I think for they 215 00:11:55,000 --> 00:11:56,920 Speaker 1: were one of the teams that showed interest early on. 216 00:11:57,240 --> 00:12:02,040 Speaker 1: Of of course Pittsburgh kind of showed some in you know, 217 00:12:02,160 --> 00:12:03,840 Speaker 1: but I think at the end of the day, I 218 00:12:03,840 --> 00:12:07,240 Speaker 1: felt New England wanted me more, uh, with what the 219 00:12:07,280 --> 00:12:09,560 Speaker 1: talks were talking about, and uh, like I said, it's 220 00:12:09,559 --> 00:12:11,560 Speaker 1: a good organization. You know, the record wasn't really a 221 00:12:11,559 --> 00:12:12,920 Speaker 1: deal record for me because I know this was a 222 00:12:12,920 --> 00:12:15,120 Speaker 1: great defense and what those guys do. I know they 223 00:12:15,120 --> 00:12:17,800 Speaker 1: have great coaches and I knew coach Mayo was gonna 224 00:12:17,800 --> 00:12:20,760 Speaker 1: bring something different to the organization. And uh that kind 225 00:12:20,800 --> 00:12:26,080 Speaker 1: of what stood out to me. Yeah, I said, I've 226 00:12:26,280 --> 00:12:27,599 Speaker 1: at this point I kind of giving up on a 227 00:12:27,600 --> 00:12:30,400 Speaker 1: woman teams. I don't think they want me anymore. But uh, yeah, 228 00:12:30,440 --> 00:12:46,400 Speaker 1: so I like it. He's been good. He recruited me 229 00:12:46,440 --> 00:12:49,080 Speaker 1: out of Arkansas, was one of my early on offers 230 00:12:49,120 --> 00:12:51,640 Speaker 1: out of the SEC. He was also a D line 231 00:12:51,640 --> 00:12:54,839 Speaker 1: type of guy, so just learning under him for three 232 00:12:54,880 --> 00:12:57,800 Speaker 1: or four years was good. He's coached guys like d Trits. 233 00:12:58,880 --> 00:13:00,600 Speaker 1: You know, he's been in concer tackle some of those 234 00:13:00,640 --> 00:13:02,800 Speaker 1: guys over the years, and I'm pretty sure there were 235 00:13:02,840 --> 00:13:05,800 Speaker 1: conversations when I came here that coaches asked what type 236 00:13:05,800 --> 00:13:08,160 Speaker 1: of guy was, So he knows that and he's been 237 00:13:08,760 --> 00:13:10,640 Speaker 1: a big help in my career and I wouldn't be 238 00:13:10,720 --> 00:13:13,360 Speaker 1: where I'm at without him, without going to Arkansas. So 239 00:13:13,920 --> 00:13:15,679 Speaker 1: always give credit to him and what he's been able 240 00:13:15,760 --> 00:13:20,240 Speaker 1: to do for me. Thank you to me. No pri
