  Speaker 3: From what you can tell, is it more.
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: Like Chicago use you or maybe Marke Jacksonville, I would
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: say more like Chicago.
• 1:50
  Speaker 2: More outside linebacker, you know, not as much inside, not
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: playing four eye that much. But you know, I think
• 1:57
  Speaker 2: the thing that I love most is I can tell
• 1:59
  Speaker 2: that they're letting there guys go man, rush in play, physical,
• 2:02
  Speaker 2: play fast, you know, disruptive. I think that's something that
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: plays into my my skin. What are your first impressions
• 2:08
  Speaker 2: of Mike McDonald, Man, Uh, great guy, works hard. I
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: can tell that he doesn't let up on pressure, which
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: is something that you always want. And you know, from that,
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: just from that standpoint and long, you know, you confirm
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: that you're not wasting your time. You're not just out here,
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: you know, playing to play, You're actually playing to win.
• 2:26
  Speaker 2: And I know that's the that's the environment that the
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: Seahawks bring.
• 2:30
  Speaker 3: You have the seven sax season, I think a few
• 2:33
  Speaker 3: years ago, is there I get I guess getting back
• 2:35
  Speaker 3: to that level.
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: Is there is there something that needs to happen or
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: is it just kind of the defense or win.
• 2:39
  Speaker 2: I guess nah, you know, nothing necessarily that needs to happen. Man,
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: I just need to work hard, continue to work hard,
• 2:45
  Speaker 2: you know, continue to say my prayers, continue to show
• 2:48
  Speaker 2: up every day. You know, eventually things will crack open.

  Speaker 1: Man, how'd you find out about it?
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: The h on the way to breakfast? On the way
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: the breakfast got pulled over to the side. You know,
• 3:13
  Speaker 2: Trent gave me the news, and you know it wasn't
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: I think at this point in my life, in my career,
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: you know, it's no, it's no going back. I don't
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: have time to mop or be sad or be frustrated
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: about the decisions that come into my life. You know,
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: it's just getting back up fighting again and keep on fighting.
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: You know, who would I be if I gave up?
• 3:32
  Speaker 3: What's the biggest challenge personally to move three thousand miles
• 3:35
  Speaker 3: at this point in an NFL year? Uh?
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: Biggest challenge?
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: You know, I don't, man, i'ma be honest, I don't work.
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: I mean all that.
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: Yeah, Well, I got a pregnant and pregnant girlfriend, so
• 3:49
  Speaker 2: I had to make sure she could come before it
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: was too late for her to be able to fly.
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: That was the main thing.
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: Uh, she's doing October, so she has about Yeah, yeah,
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: it's coming down.
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: To dream man. Yeah exactly.
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: That that would have that would have took a toll,
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: but yeah, both cars are still in Jacksonville, man. But
• 4:07
  Speaker 2: right now I'm just worried about playing football, worried about
• 4:10
  Speaker 2: taking advantage of these next two weeks, the time that
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: I do have before the real race starts, and you know,
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: just leaving it all out there, no regrets. He's the
• 4:18
  Speaker 2: language game, you're I'm gonna try to what does that
• 4:21
  Speaker 2: look like here?
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: To me?
• 4:22
  Speaker 2: That looks like in double debt, double digit sex season.
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: You know, I know I'm capable of it. I got
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: the seven and five four s fumbles on playing half
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: of the year, so you know, I'm not gonna let
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: anybody put a ceiling on me.
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: And to me, the sky's the limit. I believe.
• 4:39
  Speaker 3: It's clear you're pass rusher from your background. The position
• 4:43
  Speaker 3: here also asked for you setting the edge in the
• 4:45
  Speaker 3: run and coverage. Can you talk a little about those
• 4:47
  Speaker 3: parts of your game?
• 4:49
  Speaker 2: You know, I believe you gotta set the run or
• 4:51
  Speaker 2: you gotta stop the run in order to get to
• 4:53
  Speaker 2: the past. So there's no cutting edges in this league.
• 4:56
  Speaker 2: It's no cutting edges of life. I think we all
• 4:58
  Speaker 2: know that. So I can't expect to just be on
• 4:59
  Speaker 2: the feel third down without putting any work in on
• 5:02
  Speaker 2: first and second, so I take pride in that part
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: of my game. When it comes to pass thrust, man,
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: I think that's where it's it's relentless, relentless effort, putting
• 5:10
  Speaker 2: in my ears back, you know, chasing everything I ever dreamed.
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: Though honestly, it's not too much pressure on myself.
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: It's playing free, you know, not being stressed or tense stuff.
• 5:19
  Speaker 2: And uh, I think that's when I get the best
• 5:21
  Speaker 2: results for myself. You really also thank you
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: Thank y'all so much, your f
