  Speaker 1: First, it was pretty electric. I'm not gonna lie on
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: that two minute drive with the defense, I had to
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: like literally have Bobby like scream in my ear what
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: the play was because I couldn't hear anything. And but uh,
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: you know, I love the energy, I love the atmosphere here,
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: I love the team, and uh, you know, it was
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: a great first home game. Had a feel to get
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: your first sack here, that first home game. I mean
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: that felt awesome. Uh you know, coming into this, you know,
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: I feel like I obviously want to show the team
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: what I got and stuff like that, and uh, it was,
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: you know, it felt great to get a sack for
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: the for the first home game in front of the crowd,
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: in front of my teammates and coaches and stuff like that.
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: And uh, you know, just hopefully it's the press man.
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: How much you play Washington every week? What's that play
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: Washington every week? Uh? I mean, you know, they were
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: in our division when I was with the Giants, so
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: I know them pretty well. I know their old line
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: pretty well. We studied them a lot. They also are
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: a big passing team, so they kind of give us
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: opportunities to rush the passion for a little bit. But
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: by him off got kind feet is that? I mean?
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: You know I kept telling him congratulations today. You know,
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: he's a great, uh football player, and he's also very humble.
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: You know. Uh last week I even found out he
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: was on six and I kept trying to tell him congratulations,
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: and he just like, you know, that's nothing, that's nothing,
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: you know. So I think having that type of mindset
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: is the reason why he's continuing to make plays. And uh,
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: you even see it in practice. You know, he's a
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: big effort guy. You know, he has the talent, but
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: he also plays with a lot of effort. It's you guys,
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: did I mean? I think that was big. You know,
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: my first game here lost pretty bad to to Baltimore.
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: You know, but what stood out to me was that
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: you could tell it wasn't the norm for this team.
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: You know, when they lost like that, they you know,
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: so many guys came up to me apologizing, saying sorry
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: for losing like that and stuff like that. So you
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: could just tell they you know, they took it. That
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: lost pretty bad, and uh, you know this is this
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: is big that you know we turned it around and
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: going back on pace for what we gotta do this week.
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: Feel easier for you. I wouldn't. Yeah, it's been easier,
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: I wouldn't say it's easy yet. I'm definitely still adjusting,
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: still adapting, you know. But uh, as far as the playbook,
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: I think I had a little bit less questions, uh
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: on game day today than I did last week. I
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: did finally move into a house about two days ago,
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: so it's nice being out of the hotel and out
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: of suitcases and all that. But you know, I think
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: it maybe a week or two more I'll finally feel
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: like at home. But uh, it's still been a big adjustment.
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: And i'd be lying up I said it. You know,
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: it wasn't pretty hard schemes when you change teams, But
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: how much of austin is it getting to play with
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: new teammates and figuring out what makes them click and
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: being able to have chemistry and Jael? I mean, I
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: think it's a big deal of learning your teammates, you know,
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: learning the scheme and stuff like that. You kind of
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: learn pretty quickly, but it's like learning the guy next
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: to you on the left and right of you is
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: like also just as big of a deal, and I
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: think that takes longer than learning the system and playbook.
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: You know, me playing with Dexter, Lawrence and the Giants
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: for so long, there was times where we could just
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: look at each other and know what we want to do,
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: you know what I mean, And like building that type
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: of chemistry is important to me, and uh, you know,
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: I'm an you know, make it a point of emphasis
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: to get to know all these guys individually off the
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: field as well. Anything else, Thanks, yep, thank you,
