Speaker 1: David, you guys played pretty well as a defense last
Speaker 1: year's you know, statistically based on all the rankings. What
Speaker 1: are your expectations for this year? UM, I only need
Speaker 1: to improve. Um, obviously we didn't us. My goal was
Speaker 1: to make a playoffs. So I think as a defense
Speaker 1: and had a team with thinking we all need to
Speaker 1: take it one step further and you do a little
Speaker 1: bit better, David, when you come off a year like
Speaker 1: that where you almost get a chance to get in
Speaker 1: and who knows what kind of noise you would have made,
Speaker 1: and you know at this stage of your career you've
Speaker 1: been very close a few times. What is sort of
Speaker 1: your mindset knowing that you know, even though you know
Speaker 1: you still have some time left for those years, and
Speaker 1: those chances are kind of getting fewer and fewer obviously
Speaker 1: every year. UM, I mean this is the NFL. You
Speaker 1: can't take anything for granted. UM, you got to try
Speaker 1: to win every year. UM, there's a last thing as
Speaker 1: a reboot a year in the NFL, because that each
Speaker 1: years is valuable and or god myself who's been in
Speaker 1: it ten years. Um, these these opportunities may not come
Speaker 1: around to me sometimes, so I can take advantage off
Speaker 1: and when you can, David, how much does that does
Speaker 1: that loss to the Bills at the end of the
Speaker 1: season still stay with you and some of the other guys.
Speaker 1: I mean, you think about it here and there, but
Speaker 1: obviously we did it. We didn't do enough to win
Speaker 1: the game and to to reach the playoffs. But you
Speaker 1: can't use it as as fuel and motivation coming into
Speaker 1: this year, UM, knowing how poor in every game is
Speaker 1: and don't you know you hate to be on that
Speaker 1: side of of the of the loss, David. That's something
Speaker 1: that that creeps in your mind today, especially just giving
Speaker 1: that you know the first day you guys are getting
Speaker 1: back at it a little bit, but there's more about
Speaker 1: um seeing everybody again and meet the new new guys
Speaker 1: in the room. Um, there's a lot of phases this year,
Speaker 1: so it's a lot of names to be to be
Speaker 1: should be known and just uh again, you say right again,
Speaker 1: and it's gonna be back. It's kind of like the
Speaker 1: war their school. I guess, uh, come up, come up
Speaker 1: with a long break. UM. I know a lot of
Speaker 1: guys who have been anxious to get back. Um, I
Speaker 1: have to take it through and a half months off,
Speaker 1: so starts a fun time of a year. David, what
Speaker 1: do you believe or I guess because your partner there
Speaker 1: in the middle of the defense. What are you expecting
Speaker 1: from Aaron Henderson this season in a full time starting role?
Speaker 1: He went to that position battle I think, I think
Speaker 1: he has higher expectations than anyone else. Um, he's a
Speaker 1: guy who has been the starting to leave U for
Speaker 1: many years and and I started for him to continue
Speaker 1: play a high level. Um, he's getting an opportunity to
Speaker 1: to be started this year, and and I think he's
Speaker 1: gonna do do it a phenomenal loom job at say
Speaker 1: next to me, what are your thoughts on on not
Speaker 1: all opting to not come to the start of the
Speaker 1: ontary words. I mean everybody else talks Terry more. It's
Speaker 1: more of the one of the best deers in this league.
Speaker 1: And we all noticed the business is part of part
Speaker 1: of the game. And hopefully he'll be here. But you guys,
Speaker 1: he has to do with the best for him. David
Speaker 1: is a strange in that linebacker room right now. He
Speaker 1: had a lot a lot of turnover in your room
Speaker 1: this year. Uh, just on the defense on the team period. Um. Uh,
Speaker 1: Like I said, it's letting to face this, Um, but
Speaker 1: uh it's the first day. We all just trying to
Speaker 1: get get to know each other and and uh like
Speaker 1: it's pretty much like this every year, the turnover, um
Speaker 1: with the sadder gap in the NFL. It just you
Speaker 1: get used to it after so many What do you
Speaker 1: like not having Calvin there? I'm not gonna it's kind
Speaker 1: of weird. Um he's been here, uh eight of my
Speaker 1: nine tees and and uh he was like my big brother.
Speaker 1: Not to my thing about it, but yeah, a little strange.
Speaker 1: And I seen him in his room. David. Doesn't concern
Speaker 1: you that Fitzpatrick hasn't been signed yet? Um, yeah, especially
Speaker 1: um after the good year you had last year for us. Um. Hopefully, um,
Speaker 1: they'll be back. And that's all I can say about it. Um,
Speaker 1: but uh, like I said, hopefully be back.
