1
00:00:00,240 --> 00:00:02,720
Speaker 1: All right, Devin, you guys get the win, you are

2
00:00:02,800 --> 00:00:05,040
Speaker 1: named the a f C Defensive Player of the Week.

3
00:00:05,360 --> 00:00:07,280
Speaker 1: If your bye week, you go home and your high

4
00:00:07,280 --> 00:00:09,960
Speaker 1: school jersey is retired, is it safe to say you

5
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:11,840
Speaker 1: had a pretty good bye week? Yeah? I had a

6
00:00:11,840 --> 00:00:14,840
Speaker 1: good week. They put that type of week together. It's

7
00:00:15,160 --> 00:00:18,639
Speaker 1: probably unheard of, really, but it was definitely something I

8
00:00:18,760 --> 00:00:21,599
Speaker 1: remember forever. The Chargers game. Did you feel like you

9
00:00:21,680 --> 00:00:26,239
Speaker 1: put together that kind of performance to earn that honor? Um? Yeah,

10
00:00:26,239 --> 00:00:29,480
Speaker 1: I guess so. Yeah. Um, I mean I was going

11
00:00:29,520 --> 00:00:31,479
Speaker 1: out there just to you know, win, you know, we

12
00:00:31,560 --> 00:00:33,560
Speaker 1: have me even get a win and the week before,

13
00:00:34,200 --> 00:00:35,800
Speaker 1: so I main think it was gootna win before the

14
00:00:35,840 --> 00:00:38,720
Speaker 1: bye week and take me back to Florida and just

15
00:00:38,960 --> 00:00:41,400
Speaker 1: maybe the emotions as you can kind of look back

16
00:00:41,400 --> 00:00:43,280
Speaker 1: now of going back to your high school where it

17
00:00:43,320 --> 00:00:45,800
Speaker 1: all started and they were tired your jersey, that's a

18
00:00:45,840 --> 00:00:48,080
Speaker 1: really big deal. Yes, I mean it was, honestly, it

19
00:00:48,120 --> 00:00:50,239
Speaker 1: was a lot of things to think about. Um, but

20
00:00:50,320 --> 00:00:52,720
Speaker 1: I was just more happy to see all those familiar

21
00:00:52,720 --> 00:00:55,639
Speaker 1: faces no where all started and being able to come

22
00:00:55,680 --> 00:00:57,680
Speaker 1: back and give back and you know, show my face

23
00:00:57,720 --> 00:00:59,800
Speaker 1: in my community. That meant a lot to me, was

24
00:00:59,800 --> 00:01:02,040
Speaker 1: there something that may be surprised you or took you,

25
00:01:02,200 --> 00:01:06,360
Speaker 1: maybe caught you off guard. During that entire retirement ceremony,

26
00:01:06,680 --> 00:01:08,920
Speaker 1: there was the amount of people that came back. People

27
00:01:08,959 --> 00:01:12,600
Speaker 1: haven't seen in over you know, five six years, and

28
00:01:12,680 --> 00:01:15,920
Speaker 1: you know they come back and everybody's growing up and

29
00:01:15,959 --> 00:01:18,440
Speaker 1: look different and doing different things. So it was it

30
00:01:18,520 --> 00:01:20,720
Speaker 1: was cool to see all those faces again. In terms

31
00:01:20,800 --> 00:01:22,680
Speaker 1: of your play, do you go back and look at

32
00:01:22,680 --> 00:01:24,920
Speaker 1: the first half of the season, the first half, meeting

33
00:01:24,959 --> 00:01:27,720
Speaker 1: before the bye, and maybe what you've done good and

34
00:01:27,840 --> 00:01:30,080
Speaker 1: maybe things you can improve on. Yeah, definitely think that's

35
00:01:30,080 --> 00:01:32,480
Speaker 1: a week one week thing. I mean each game you

36
00:01:32,520 --> 00:01:34,640
Speaker 1: do something good, you do something you know you can

37
00:01:34,680 --> 00:01:37,200
Speaker 1: clean up. So I think as as the season goes,

38
00:01:37,240 --> 00:01:39,000
Speaker 1: you kind of, you know, get into that phase of

39
00:01:39,280 --> 00:01:41,280
Speaker 1: looking back on the week before, what could you work

40
00:01:41,319 --> 00:01:43,880
Speaker 1: on to improve in the next week. You were the

41
00:01:43,959 --> 00:01:46,280
Speaker 1: only rookie in the top ten in terms of total

42
00:01:46,319 --> 00:01:49,280
Speaker 1: tackles in the league. Does that mean anything to you? Um,

43
00:01:49,280 --> 00:01:51,960
Speaker 1: this motivation to stay in the top ten and you know,

44
00:01:52,040 --> 00:01:55,120
Speaker 1: keep calming my way up that the season goes. Leading

45
00:01:55,160 --> 00:01:59,280
Speaker 1: the league with takeaways, do you have a favorite one

46
00:01:59,320 --> 00:02:03,400
Speaker 1: out of the six so far. Um, honestly, all of

47
00:02:03,440 --> 00:02:06,760
Speaker 1: them are kind of special to me in different ways,

48
00:02:06,840 --> 00:02:09,400
Speaker 1: and you know, different situations at the game and you know,

49
00:02:09,639 --> 00:02:12,440
Speaker 1: different stakes. But I think all of them are pretty special.

50
00:02:12,440 --> 00:02:14,520
Speaker 1: I don't got a favor one yet. There's not one

51
00:02:14,560 --> 00:02:17,400
Speaker 1: that sticks out though not yet, not yet, so that

52
00:02:17,400 --> 00:02:22,000
Speaker 1: means there's more to contact. Okay, we'll take that. We

53
00:02:22,040 --> 00:02:25,639
Speaker 1: had a chance to talk to Jerry OLSASKI your position coach,

54
00:02:25,760 --> 00:02:28,040
Speaker 1: last week, and he said, the one thing about you

55
00:02:28,160 --> 00:02:30,160
Speaker 1: is that he never tries to hold you back or

56
00:02:30,200 --> 00:02:33,080
Speaker 1: assume there's something you can't do. He said, very similar

57
00:02:33,120 --> 00:02:35,720
Speaker 1: to how he treated Ryan Shazier. Do you feel like

58
00:02:35,760 --> 00:02:40,000
Speaker 1: you guys have that relationship. Yeah, Like you said, he's always,

59
00:02:40,120 --> 00:02:42,240
Speaker 1: you know, preaching like, hey, look if you mess up,

60
00:02:42,320 --> 00:02:44,120
Speaker 1: you keep going. You know you're you're good enough player

61
00:02:44,120 --> 00:02:47,480
Speaker 1: to adjusting and get over the adversity. So, I mean,

62
00:02:47,480 --> 00:02:49,600
Speaker 1: he kind of doesn't hammer me too hard when you

63
00:02:49,600 --> 00:02:51,280
Speaker 1: know I make a mistake. Is something he's kind of

64
00:02:51,320 --> 00:02:54,160
Speaker 1: just more encouraging. He said, he's never shocked when you

65
00:02:54,200 --> 00:02:57,160
Speaker 1: make a crazy play. Even talking about the Chargers game,

66
00:02:57,320 --> 00:03:01,440
Speaker 1: the touchdown than the interception. Do you ever supper about yourself? Sometimes?

67
00:03:01,480 --> 00:03:03,799
Speaker 1: I do Sometimes in the moment, it is like, no,

68
00:03:03,960 --> 00:03:06,520
Speaker 1: I'm playing football, but out there I'm like, I really

69
00:03:06,560 --> 00:03:08,359
Speaker 1: did that, And it may not be a highlight play,

70
00:03:08,440 --> 00:03:10,840
Speaker 1: but it's like, you know something, you know, whether I

71
00:03:10,919 --> 00:03:14,000
Speaker 1: defeated a block or you know, I put a move

72
00:03:14,080 --> 00:03:16,400
Speaker 1: or somebody or something that coverage, why anything you know

73
00:03:16,520 --> 00:03:18,480
Speaker 1: that's like okay, well, like I did that. That's good.

74
00:03:18,919 --> 00:03:20,880
Speaker 1: I know. There was enough to worry about in house,

75
00:03:21,000 --> 00:03:23,600
Speaker 1: just in terms of writing the ship, getting some more winds,

76
00:03:23,639 --> 00:03:26,120
Speaker 1: stacking some winds. But when your name is being thrown

77
00:03:26,160 --> 00:03:29,160
Speaker 1: around for defensive Rookie of the Year, do you listen

78
00:03:29,200 --> 00:03:31,680
Speaker 1: to it? Do you take it in? Do you not

79
00:03:31,720 --> 00:03:33,920
Speaker 1: pay attention? How do you I kind of I kind

80
00:03:33,919 --> 00:03:36,160
Speaker 1: of don't pay attention to it. You know, I feel like,

81
00:03:36,320 --> 00:03:38,520
Speaker 1: you know, it's a team sport. You know you're only

82
00:03:38,560 --> 00:03:40,440
Speaker 1: going to be as good as you are as a team.

83
00:03:40,440 --> 00:03:42,680
Speaker 1: And you know you don't win nothing. You know, we're

84
00:03:42,680 --> 00:03:44,960
Speaker 1: not one person could win, you know, a football game.

85
00:03:45,480 --> 00:03:47,480
Speaker 1: It's not me. Continue to take care of business. I

86
00:03:47,520 --> 00:03:49,840
Speaker 1: feel like a lot of things will come. Does it

87
00:03:49,920 --> 00:03:53,040
Speaker 1: mean anything that you're playing the Dolphins for the first time? Yeah,

88
00:03:53,080 --> 00:03:55,400

89
00:03:55,480 --> 00:03:58,320
Speaker 1: being from you know, Florida and being in that area,

90
00:03:59,160 --> 00:04:02,480
Speaker 1: and you always you would like those colors and the Dolphins,

91
00:04:02,760 --> 00:04:04,320

00:04:04,320 --> 00:04:06,120
Speaker 1: there and take a field and lone of beguins. I

93
00:04:06,120 --> 00:04:08,000
