1
00:00:01,160 --> 00:00:08,039
Speaker 1: Morning, Darrence, Good morning. Can you talk about, um, the

2
00:00:08,119 --> 00:00:10,520
Speaker 1: importance of coming back here and did you feel this

3
00:00:10,640 --> 00:00:14,320
Speaker 1: was the best place to uh build off of last

4
00:00:14,320 --> 00:00:16,880
Speaker 1: season coming back here and going into a second year

5
00:00:16,920 --> 00:00:21,079
Speaker 1: with Dan Quinn. Oh, yeah, no doubt. Um, this is

6
00:00:21,120 --> 00:00:24,320
Speaker 1: a place, but I was comfortable playing and place for

7
00:00:24,640 --> 00:00:28,240
Speaker 1: I knew people wanted me to be and UH also

8
00:00:28,320 --> 00:00:37,800
Speaker 1: wanted to come back and UM improve up to last year? Rance,

9
00:00:37,880 --> 00:00:40,479
Speaker 1: What do you do with your role on this defense

10
00:00:40,560 --> 00:00:43,080
Speaker 1: and with Randy and Denver? Now, how does that change

11
00:00:43,120 --> 00:00:50,479
Speaker 1: the potential for how you've seen contribute. Um? Honestly, it

12
00:00:50,520 --> 00:00:55,720
Speaker 1: would be the same um with or without Randy. Um,

13
00:00:55,800 --> 00:00:58,720
Speaker 1: he's just a guy that we lost. But I was

14
00:00:58,880 --> 00:01:01,160
Speaker 1: I would be doing the same thing playing DN, playing

15
00:01:01,240 --> 00:01:10,360
Speaker 1: insign special teams. Um. Nothing much would change, George for

16
00:01:10,480 --> 00:01:12,319
Speaker 1: you thinking that you would be back here when free

17
00:01:12,319 --> 00:01:14,360
Speaker 1: agency started, or do you kind of open up the

18
00:01:14,400 --> 00:01:20,240
Speaker 1: possibility that you'd be going somewhere else? Um? I'm pretty sure.

19
00:01:20,319 --> 00:01:23,720
Speaker 1: Like like mostly they kind of take the stuff back

20
00:01:23,760 --> 00:01:27,679
Speaker 1: and open look at all their possibilities. What was the

21
00:01:27,720 --> 00:01:34,120
Speaker 1: process like when just getting to feel for your possibility elsewhere? Honestly,

22
00:01:34,240 --> 00:01:38,880
Speaker 1: it felt like UM being drafted again. You know, you

23
00:01:38,959 --> 00:01:41,080
Speaker 1: just have to sit back in a way until your

24
00:01:41,160 --> 00:01:43,760
Speaker 1: name is called. And that's kind of how it was.

25
00:01:45,280 --> 00:01:50,080
Speaker 1: Was there one team externally that was pulling you the

26
00:01:50,120 --> 00:01:53,080
Speaker 1: hardest to consider potentially not coming back to Dallas? Is

27
00:01:53,080 --> 00:01:56,240
Speaker 1: there anyone that really emerged for you that really attracted you?

28
00:01:58,440 --> 00:02:00,880
Speaker 1: I remember a few places, but it was it was

29
00:02:01,000 --> 00:02:03,560
Speaker 1: I mean, it was just it was it was. It

30
00:02:03,600 --> 00:02:05,960
Speaker 1: was just I don't know how to at least say

31
00:02:06,520 --> 00:02:09,760
Speaker 1: answer that, but um, there were a couple of options

32
00:02:09,760 --> 00:02:14,560
Speaker 1: out there. What else do you feel like you still have?

33
00:02:15,919 --> 00:02:17,920
Speaker 1: What do you feel like you saw to accomplish in

34
00:02:17,919 --> 00:02:19,800
Speaker 1: your career? Where do you think you can still get better?

35
00:02:21,919 --> 00:02:25,480
Speaker 1: For sure? My monetary game, I'm not a perfect player.

36
00:02:25,560 --> 00:02:28,760
Speaker 1: I'm not I'm not a facial franchise player. So honestly,

37
00:02:28,800 --> 00:02:31,520
Speaker 1: I hell a lot of work to do and that's

38
00:02:31,520 --> 00:02:41,080
Speaker 1: just going to happen all the time. Stop playing. What

39
00:02:41,160 --> 00:02:43,440
Speaker 1: do you like? Stop playing for dan Quinn? And how

40
00:02:43,480 --> 00:02:46,120
Speaker 1: do you what do you appreciate about the way he

41
00:02:46,240 --> 00:02:50,240
Speaker 1: used to do in that defense? Yeah? I like her.

42
00:02:50,400 --> 00:02:53,160
Speaker 1: I mean just being able to you know what I'm saying,

43
00:02:53,160 --> 00:02:56,519
Speaker 1: The way he motivates us as the d line to

44
00:02:56,560 --> 00:03:00,560
Speaker 1: take over the game and the amount of confidence symbolify

45
00:03:00,760 --> 00:03:02,440
Speaker 1: has in us to just go out there and be

46
00:03:02,560 --> 00:03:06,200
Speaker 1: on ourselves. Um. I love that about him and it

47
00:03:06,280 --> 00:03:09,320
Speaker 1: just encourages everybody and it helps everybody playing a little

48
00:03:09,320 --> 00:03:15,520
Speaker 1: bit more better. What about your approach do you think

49
00:03:15,600 --> 00:03:17,360
Speaker 1: has led you to develop the way that you have

50
00:03:17,480 --> 00:03:19,880
Speaker 1: from being someone who you know it was so valuable

51
00:03:19,919 --> 00:03:22,480
Speaker 1: to a special team or to being you know where

52
00:03:22,520 --> 00:03:24,720
Speaker 1: you are to day such a value part not only

53
00:03:24,720 --> 00:03:28,000
Speaker 1: on special teams, but with more role on the defensive line.

54
00:03:32,880 --> 00:03:36,560
Speaker 1: Can't you repeat that? Yeah? What about your approach to

55
00:03:36,680 --> 00:03:39,320
Speaker 1: how you kind of go about your development your craft

56
00:03:39,400 --> 00:03:42,800
Speaker 1: do you think has kind of led to your progress

57
00:03:42,640 --> 00:03:47,120
Speaker 1: as as an NFL player? I mean, I mean I

58
00:03:47,200 --> 00:03:49,880
Speaker 1: just come to work every day. UM, just do what

59
00:03:49,960 --> 00:03:52,400
Speaker 1: people ask me to do because I'm able to do it. Um,

60
00:03:52,920 --> 00:03:56,600
Speaker 1: if not talking, find a way to do it, you know. Um,

61
00:03:56,960 --> 00:04:00,839
Speaker 1: just always been available to doing things that people needed

62
00:04:00,880 --> 00:04:06,240
Speaker 1: to do. Or what do you think page of your

63
00:04:06,240 --> 00:04:09,480
Speaker 1: career that you that you developed to the point where

64
00:04:09,800 --> 00:04:12,240
Speaker 1: you want to push to be more than a rotational player.

65
00:04:12,360 --> 00:04:14,720
Speaker 1: Do you do you feel that that there's a chance

66
00:04:14,720 --> 00:04:16,719
Speaker 1: for you to be a starting defensive end going into

67
00:04:16,760 --> 00:04:18,479
Speaker 1: this seat, and just where you are in your career.

68
00:04:19,960 --> 00:04:23,039
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, no, the open it's an open spot. You

69
00:04:23,080 --> 00:04:29,360
Speaker 1: know you are coming in and work for it. What

70
00:04:29,480 --> 00:04:32,040
Speaker 1: do you put the big jump in sacks for you

71
00:04:32,120 --> 00:04:34,760
Speaker 1: last year? Just opportunities or how much? Where did you

72
00:04:34,800 --> 00:04:40,680
Speaker 1: improve his past rushing? Um? Both? Um, I was a

73
00:04:40,839 --> 00:04:45,200
Speaker 1: players I'm never in my life was I was asked

74
00:04:45,200 --> 00:04:49,560
Speaker 1: to do that. I was pretty productive do But don't

75
00:04:49,560 --> 00:04:57,480
Speaker 1: say both. Honestly, what does it mean for the defense?

76
00:04:57,640 --> 00:05:01,280
Speaker 1: After Marcus? Uh Laurence still so here? It's so part

77
00:05:01,279 --> 00:05:04,920
Speaker 1: of the group. I mean it means a lot. He's

78
00:05:04,920 --> 00:05:08,440
Speaker 1: been a leader since for this team, since before I

79
00:05:08,520 --> 00:05:11,599
Speaker 1: got here, and that's what he's going to continue to do.

80
00:05:15,440 --> 00:05:17,920
Speaker 1: You're talking about playing inside more than you and you've

81
00:05:17,920 --> 00:05:21,200
Speaker 1: really never been asked to do that. Were you Can

82
00:05:21,240 --> 00:05:22,919
Speaker 1: you talk a little bit more about that? Were you

83
00:05:22,960 --> 00:05:25,800
Speaker 1: surprised with how effective you were in there? Is that

84
00:05:25,920 --> 00:05:27,800
Speaker 1: something you want to continue to do? Do you think

85
00:05:27,839 --> 00:05:32,280
Speaker 1: that kind of helped your game overall? Yeah? For sure,

86
00:05:33,520 --> 00:05:36,400
Speaker 1: I was very uncomfortable. I never have done that before.

87
00:05:36,520 --> 00:05:39,360
Speaker 1: But um, this you know what I'm saying. Been a

88
00:05:39,400 --> 00:05:42,440
Speaker 1: student of the game, watching film, actually taking those raps

89
00:05:42,680 --> 00:05:44,760
Speaker 1: and being able to transfer the work that I put

90
00:05:44,880 --> 00:05:47,480
Speaker 1: in their practice into the games. That allowed my games

91
00:05:47,520 --> 00:05:50,400
Speaker 1: to be that much better. And it also helped a

92
00:05:50,400 --> 00:05:52,760
Speaker 1: lot with you know what I'm saying, guy's rotations on

93
00:05:52,880 --> 00:05:55,640
Speaker 1: the line too. With different packages, we got different people

94
00:05:55,640 --> 00:05:58,640
Speaker 1: for different things, so it just made it made a

95
00:05:58,640 --> 00:06:03,680
Speaker 1: different look for a lot of different teams. On a

96
00:06:03,760 --> 00:06:08,160
Speaker 1: personal level, what does this contract mean to you now

97
00:06:08,200 --> 00:06:15,000
Speaker 1: that it's it's it's done everything then, Um, obviously this

98
00:06:15,160 --> 00:06:21,440
Speaker 1: is every NFL player dream just to reach the second contract. UM,

99
00:06:21,560 --> 00:06:24,440
Speaker 1: no matter where what it is, UM, this is this

100
00:06:24,520 --> 00:06:27,760
Speaker 1: is a huge blessing. I'm blessed to be able to

101
00:06:27,800 --> 00:06:40,880
Speaker 1: stay here in Dallas. Anything else for dorms. Thanks Dorman,
