- 3:13Speaker 1: before coming around the field, you know, prepping your body,
- 3:15Speaker 1: make sure you feeling good, feeling all right, ready to go.
- 3:17Speaker 2: Would you think specifically technique wise that you remember learning
- 3:20Speaker 2: from Leonard Williams or from Jermy.
- 3:24Speaker 1: The most the biggest thing so far, I'll say, uh,
- 3:27Speaker 1: my hands, you know, hands when it comes to pass rush.
- 3:30Speaker 1: And uh. Also just fixing my stands, you know, they
- 3:33Speaker 1: fix my stands a little bit. And uh. Also uh,
- 3:35Speaker 1: I'll say get off too. They work them, my get
- 3:37Speaker 1: offs and everything. You know them guys. Man, Uh, it's
- 3:40Speaker 1: just a blessing to be with them. You know, they
- 3:42Speaker 1: keep pushing me and they push me to be better
- 3:43Speaker 1: each and every day, and I appreciate them.
- 3:45Speaker 2: Guys, what's it been like to have a defensive coordinator
- 3:48Speaker 2: that's got a defensive life background?
- 3:50Speaker 1: Or which?
- 3:50Speaker 2: Is that healthy?
- 3:51Speaker 1: Your transition here? Uh? Man helps a lot because you know,
- 3:55Speaker 1: I feel like we were on the same page. He
- 3:57Speaker 1: see what I see, uh, and he see what I
- 3:59Speaker 1: don't see, you know, and he helps you know, he
- 4:02Speaker 1: helped me get better too, So I love it. I'm
- 4:05Speaker 1: a joint.
- 4:06Speaker 2: There's a lot of two man games in Mike McDonald's defense.
- 4:08Speaker 2: Is there any player either on your edge or inside
- 4:10Speaker 2: of your field's more chemistry with?
- 4:13Speaker 1: Not? Really? I feel like I got chemistry with you know,
- 4:15Speaker 1: all of them, guys. I felt like my chemistry balanced
- 4:17Speaker 1: out with everybody else. So I feel like, you know,
- 4:20Speaker 1: we just got to keep working, keep driving, put it
- 4:22Speaker 1: together and make everything work. Yeah.
- 4:24Speaker 2: You played against Ryan Grubb's offenses a bunch the last
- 4:27Speaker 2: couple of years. What makes those offenses tough to defend?
- 4:30Speaker 1: And how similar does he look right now to what
- 4:32Speaker 1: you saw? Man? His offense very similar, similar because I'm
- 4:36Speaker 1: used to it, like you said, playing them, played them
- 4:38Speaker 1: a few times, but the his offense is just it's
- 4:42Speaker 1: just keep you, keep you, keep you on your toes,
- 4:44Speaker 1: you know, like you never know what's coming. May be
- 4:46Speaker 1: a trick play, you know, run play, actually do a
- 4:50Speaker 1: lot of motion. You know. He throw a lot of
- 4:52Speaker 1: eye candy at you. So man, his offense just keep
- 4:54Speaker 1: you all balance. You don't know what's coming. Has given
- 4:57Speaker 1: you any group about that? Has he given you any
- 4:59Speaker 1: group by the last couple of years? Oh? Man? Uh,
- 5:02Speaker 1: he tell me, you know all the time, like he
- 5:03Speaker 1: come up to me or something like going to me.
- 5:05Speaker 1: He's like, man, like, man, you gave me some problems
- 5:07Speaker 1: when I was at you dub, so we talked about
- 5:09Speaker 1: all the time. But it's fun, you know, just bringing
- 5:12Speaker 1: up memories and everything and just to be here, you know,
- 5:15Speaker 1: together and be you know, being on the same team.
- 5:18Speaker 1: So it's great. Are you seeing as much as the
- 5:20Speaker 1: shifting now as they didn't all say it again, as
- 5:23Speaker 1: much as a pre snap motion and shifting everything, or
- 5:25Speaker 1: seeing as much of that now as what you saw
- 5:27Speaker 1: the last couple of years ago. Oh yeah, well I'm
- 5:29Speaker 1: seeing it a lot more now since I'm here. But
- 5:32Speaker 1: you know, going against coach, going against coach, going against
- 5:35Speaker 1: the OC when he was at U dub. You know,
- 5:37Speaker 1: I've also seen I've seen a lot of emotions, a
- 5:39Speaker 1: lot of shifts and everything, but being here, I see
- 5:41Speaker 1: it more and I'm starting to pick it up better.
- 5:43Speaker 1: You know, have better reads, you know, better pre snap
- 5:45Speaker 1: reads and everything. So it's going great.
- 5:48Speaker 2: So I talk about the with the thought ons defense,

- 5:55Speaker 1: to do in college at all? Oh? Most definitely. You
- 5:57Speaker 1: know it's a lot more communication on this level. But
