00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:01,880
Speaker 1: You know, we talked a lot about, you know, learning

2
00:00:01,880 --> 00:00:03,400
Speaker 1: this new position and all the challenges of it. Had

3
00:00:03,400 --> 00:00:05,000
Speaker 1: her feel that you actually get out there get some

4
00:00:05,080 --> 00:00:07,640
Speaker 1: live reps. It was a blast. It was a blast,

5
00:00:07,720 --> 00:00:10,360
Speaker 1: you know, putting everything that I've been working on in practice,

6
00:00:10,440 --> 00:00:13,520
Speaker 1: everything that I've been taught from the coaches, and getting

7
00:00:13,560 --> 00:00:15,160
Speaker 1: a chance to really go out there and do it

8
00:00:15,200 --> 00:00:17,479
Speaker 1: for real without watching the film. Yet, how do you

9
00:00:17,480 --> 00:00:20,720
Speaker 1: feel like you win? Uh? You know, to be honest

10
00:00:20,760 --> 00:00:22,479
Speaker 1: with you, there's a there's a lot of stuff that

11
00:00:22,520 --> 00:00:24,959
Speaker 1: I gotta I gotta get better at. There's a couple

12
00:00:25,000 --> 00:00:26,560
Speaker 1: of plays that stick out of my mind that I

13
00:00:26,600 --> 00:00:29,840
Speaker 1: should have made. And um, so you know, this week,

14
00:00:29,920 --> 00:00:34,200
Speaker 1: gonna dig into the film and take the constructive criticism

15
00:00:34,240 --> 00:00:38,440
Speaker 1: and be better next week. Giving you a lot of

16
00:00:38,520 --> 00:00:41,279
Speaker 1: contuities on the inside, What was that telling you? How

17
00:00:41,280 --> 00:00:44,879
Speaker 1: does it make you feeling? It's it's awesome that you know,

18
00:00:44,920 --> 00:00:46,879
Speaker 1: they're they're moving me around and allowing me to try

19
00:00:46,920 --> 00:00:49,879
Speaker 1: out different things. Um, it's been you know, like I

20
00:00:49,920 --> 00:00:51,839
Speaker 1: said at the beginning, it's it's a it was a

21
00:00:51,920 --> 00:00:55,680
Speaker 1: challenge moving from inside or from outside to inside. And um,

22
00:00:55,760 --> 00:00:58,680
Speaker 1: but the coaches and the other inside linebacker has been

23
00:00:58,720 --> 00:01:01,280
Speaker 1: helped me a lot and allow me to play fast

24
00:01:01,360 --> 00:01:03,840
Speaker 1: and you know, pick up on different things. And you know,

25
00:01:03,880 --> 00:01:06,039
Speaker 1: guys like Blake have been you know, really helped me

26
00:01:06,080 --> 00:01:10,039
Speaker 1: out and um and it's it's been a blast. The

27
00:01:10,040 --> 00:01:12,679
Speaker 1: biggest thing playing on the outside going to the inside

28
00:01:12,720 --> 00:01:15,399
Speaker 1: that you're able to use kind of like false train

29
00:01:15,480 --> 00:01:17,480
Speaker 1: like okay, discord on the outside, I think you could

30
00:01:17,480 --> 00:01:20,720
Speaker 1: working his side. Yeah. Well, you know, as coach shar

31
00:01:20,880 --> 00:01:22,920
Speaker 1: talks a lot about using our hands when we get

32
00:01:22,920 --> 00:01:26,800
Speaker 1: to offensive linemen and especially when we have offensive linemen

33
00:01:26,800 --> 00:01:29,360
Speaker 1: and space and stuff like that, and so, uh, you know,

34
00:01:29,560 --> 00:01:32,760
Speaker 1: when you're playing outside linebacker, it's it's all about hands.

35
00:01:32,760 --> 00:01:35,680
Speaker 1: When you pass rush, it's all about hands and so um.

36
00:01:35,720 --> 00:01:37,720
Speaker 1: So I think that that's, uh, you know, one of

37
00:01:37,760 --> 00:01:41,160
Speaker 1: those those tools that that helps out with inside linebackers.

38
00:01:41,440 --> 00:01:43,759
Speaker 1: You know, when an offensive lineman comes to me being

39
00:01:43,800 --> 00:01:47,360
Speaker 1: able to use my hands just like I would outside linebacker,

40
00:01:48,120 --> 00:01:50,760
Speaker 1: it would be different. And how quickly did it take

41
00:01:50,840 --> 00:01:54,280
Speaker 1: you to adjust your eyes playing on the outside, To

42
00:01:54,320 --> 00:01:56,480
Speaker 1: be honest with you, it's a it's a continuous process.

43
00:01:56,520 --> 00:01:58,640
Speaker 1: I'm still working on it. Um. You know, when you're

44
00:01:58,640 --> 00:02:01,680
Speaker 1: playing outside linebacker, it's all your key is right in

45
00:02:01,720 --> 00:02:03,520
Speaker 1: front of you when you when you take a step back,

46
00:02:03,560 --> 00:02:05,280
Speaker 1: you've got a couple of different keys, and you'd be

47
00:02:05,320 --> 00:02:08,000
Speaker 1: able to see the big picture and get the safety

48
00:02:08,000 --> 00:02:10,560
Speaker 1: calls and all that kind of stuff and so um,

49
00:02:10,680 --> 00:02:12,920
Speaker 1: that stuff that I'm still working on and you know,

50
00:02:13,520 --> 00:02:16,440
Speaker 1: we'll continue to work on every single day in practice,

51
00:02:16,480 --> 00:02:20,520
Speaker 1: all that kind of stuff. With this position in and

52
00:02:20,560 --> 00:02:24,359
Speaker 1: of itself, do you enjoy the freedom? It's almost like

53
00:02:24,400 --> 00:02:26,519
Speaker 1: they're not giving you a position and saying this is

54
00:02:26,520 --> 00:02:29,000
Speaker 1: where you're going to be. It's almost what you make

55
00:02:29,040 --> 00:02:31,000
Speaker 1: of it. Is that fair to say? And does that

56
00:02:31,040 --> 00:02:35,239
Speaker 1: give you more leeway to kind of grow into this role? Yeah?

57
00:02:35,280 --> 00:02:38,400
Speaker 1: I mean it's I really really like being off the ball.

58
00:02:38,520 --> 00:02:41,000
Speaker 1: It's been really really fun to work on. It was

59
00:02:41,040 --> 00:02:43,000
Speaker 1: fun to do that on on the on the scout

60
00:02:43,040 --> 00:02:46,280
Speaker 1: team last year. Um, and you know, get get kind

61
00:02:46,320 --> 00:02:48,560
Speaker 1: of a feel for it and then really dig into

62
00:02:48,600 --> 00:02:51,639
Speaker 1: it during camp and get those off the ball reps. Um.

63
00:02:51,680 --> 00:02:55,080
Speaker 1: But it's it's just like anything, whatever my role is,

64
00:02:55,120 --> 00:02:58,440
Speaker 1: whether it's it's special teams, whatever, Um, I want to

65
00:02:58,440 --> 00:03:00,240
Speaker 1: make the most out of it. And so I'm you know,

00:03:00,320 --> 00:03:02,920
Speaker 1: continuing to work on my skills every single day and

67
00:03:03,040 --> 00:03:06,440
