- 2:31Speaker 2: Yeah, Jacksonville really small baby. Oh your boy.
- 2:37Speaker 1: I'm not gonna lie to you.
- 2:38Speaker 2: Uh.
- 2:38Speaker 1: When I first got to Jacksonville, my my big homie
- 2:41Speaker 1: Tyson Lululu was drafted. Was that twenty ten first time
- 2:45Speaker 1: I ever got through Jacksonville, was like, there's nothing here.
- 2:48Speaker 2: Nope, that's why it's easy to make people people connections.
- 2:52Speaker 1: Fourteen years later, it actually looks like it's like a
- 2:55Speaker 1: solid city now.
- 2:56Speaker 2: Yeah, it's growing. It's definitely grown. With the new stadium
- 2:59Speaker 2: being built to I think that's gonna bring a lot
- 3:01Speaker 2: more revenue, a lot more a lot more money in
- 3:03Speaker 2: the city. Uh, and then bringing the four seasons into
- 3:06Speaker 2: our owner bringing the four seasons in and y'all got
- 3:09Speaker 2: a four seasons in Jacksonville, were making one. Yeah, so
- 3:13Speaker 2: we're doing something. Man, and you know, hopefully that just
- 3:15Speaker 2: keeps growing and growing for us.
- 3:17Speaker 1: Right right, You got my you got my former d
- 3:20Speaker 1: line coach Ryan Nilsen as your decordinator. Now you've had
- 3:23Speaker 1: you know, a little off season with them. How do
- 3:26Speaker 1: you like him so far?
- 3:27Speaker 2: I mean, so far, so good? You know for me,
- 3:29Speaker 2: you know, he called the first time. The first thing
- 3:31Speaker 2: he talked about when I talked on the phone with
- 3:33Speaker 2: him was you going forward. That's all I need to hear. Now,
- 3:37Speaker 2: put the ball in my court. Let me beat me
- 3:39Speaker 2: and we can do that. And I think the conversations
- 3:41Speaker 2: that we had he kind of lets you, you know,
- 3:44Speaker 2: take a chow because I think in his defense, you know,
- 3:46Speaker 2: the ends need to be need to be elite, you know,
- 3:50Speaker 2: needs to be those guys. And where I'm at and
- 3:53Speaker 2: where my trajectory is going in my career, I can
- 3:56Speaker 2: only see myself going up. So if you allow me
- 3:59Speaker 2: to go right, trust me that I'm gonna go. And
- 4:02Speaker 2: but now this year, man, I did that last year
- 4:04Speaker 2: by myself. Now it's trying to spread that well to
- 4:07Speaker 2: the others. You know. Uh, got Trey who's coming up.
- 4:11Speaker 2: Got Eric that's new, and we got a lot of
- 4:13Speaker 2: younger guys that I can kind of like, let's let's
- 4:15Speaker 2: do this movie like this. You know, you got a
- 4:19Speaker 2: monster in the middle, and I'm already knowing. Man, I'm happy.
- 4:22Speaker 2: I'm happy kid in the store the show.
- 4:26Speaker 1: Uh, I mean, you know, it seems like you guys
- 4:29Speaker 1: got a strong collective. You know, a couple of years
- 4:31Speaker 1: ago they paid the wide receiver Kirk. You know, they
- 4:35Speaker 1: they kept They're starting to keep their own you. You know,
- 4:37Speaker 1: Trevor Lawrence, how does how does it make you feel
- 4:41Speaker 1: that organization, you know, wants to love the players, wants
- 4:44Speaker 1: to you know, pay their loyalty towards players like you
- 4:47Speaker 1: and Trevor.
- 4:48Speaker 2: I mean, it means a lot. Uh. It means we're
- 4:50Speaker 2: going in the right direction. You know, things that haven't
- 4:52Speaker 2: been done in a very long time. You know. For
- 4:55Speaker 2: me to be the first you know, one hundred million
- 4:57Speaker 2: dollar player in organization, like in the whole organization, Uh,
- 5:01Speaker 2: it's kind of crazy, but it's a it's a humble experience,
- 5:04Speaker 2: and you know, I'm thankful for that. But we're in
- 5:07Speaker 2: the right directions. We're keeping our top players, our best players,
- 5:10Speaker 2: and our core players as well, so we can continue
- 5:12Speaker 2: to keep building on that, keep bringing the younger guys up.
- 5:15Speaker 2: That's why we put these guys in these roles to
- 5:17Speaker 2: I mean, you played for the Saints, you had none
- 5:19Speaker 2: but young guys and build them up and now you
- 5:21Speaker 2: see them go here, go there. But they helped that
- 5:23Speaker 2: organization build as well. That's all I want to do.
- 5:26Speaker 2: Put my name on the map and never be forgotten
- 5:29Speaker 2: in Jacksonville history, right right, But I mean, just.
- 5:33Speaker 1: Keep your core guys in there. Keeps your locker room
- 5:35Speaker 1: integrity good too, like the vibes, the ability for you know,
- 5:38Speaker 1: in the season, you're going to have adversity, you're going
- 5:40Speaker 1: to have those wins by twenty points, some losses by
- 5:43Speaker 1: threes that hurt way more than a blowout loss. But
- 5:46Speaker 1: that core locker room keeps it going. Like, tell me
- 5:48Speaker 1: about that. Tell me about your locker room. How does
- 5:50Speaker 1: it feel? Because you know every locker room is different,
- 5:52Speaker 1: so I'm always intrigued to know, like what is your
- 5:54Speaker 1: locker room feel like? Is there is you know, I
- 5:59Speaker 1: don't see any dancing or or like you know, now,
- 6:01Speaker 1: we got.
- 6:01Speaker 2: A cool locked room. We got a lot of young guys.
- 6:05Speaker 2: This is one of two things that we I think
- 6:06Speaker 2: we need to implement this year moving forward to build
- 6:09Speaker 2: that team chemistry. I think right now, we too were
- 6:11Speaker 2: too blocked off, you know where we got one one
- 6:15Speaker 2: one group of like D line in one area, old
- 6:18Speaker 2: line another area. I think we need to mix that up.
- 6:21Speaker 2: Uh and just just know you know your teammates and
- 6:24Speaker 2: I think that kind of bang. I think that would
- 6:25Speaker 2: bring a lot more chemistry with each other offense and defensively.
- 6:29Speaker 2: But other than that, we got a young locker room.
- 6:31Speaker 2: We'd like to have fun.
- 6:32Speaker 1: Who gets control of the ox?
- 6:35Speaker 2: You know, I keep boom box, you know, so I
- 6:38Speaker 2: usually but I like the old schools and so if
- 6:40Speaker 2: I'm on it, you know, I'm usually playing cards with
- 6:42Speaker 2: the guys and I'm playing you know, my jams and stuff.
- 6:46Speaker 2: It's old school for you, sir.
- 6:47Speaker 1: You were born in.
- 6:48Speaker 2: The oh So I like you know, I like a
- 6:52Speaker 2: little Luther, you know, I like a little I like
- 6:55Speaker 2: a little music soul child. You know, I like the
- 6:59Speaker 2: viz bro. I like to keep it cause we all
- 7:02Speaker 2: we go out on the field. We listened in that rap.
- 7:04Speaker 2: We go in the weight room, were listening in the rap.
- 7:06Speaker 2: You know, all this stops rolling around kind of need
- 7:09Speaker 2: it in the locker room. Just keep a nice chill vibe.
- 7:11Speaker 2: Everybody talking vibbing out. Like I said, we're playing cards.
- 7:14Speaker 2: We got a basketball hoop. You know, we got a
- 7:17Speaker 2: nice little you know.
- 7:19Speaker 1: Game room.
- 7:20Speaker 2: Guys go chilling. We do jack. You mean, like like
- 7:24Speaker 2: I said, we got it's like a little lounge, a
- 7:27Speaker 2: little LOUNGEO. We got pers fours, golf simulator, pink pong table. Yeah,
- 7:32Speaker 2: come on, man, we're doing it.
- 7:35Speaker 1: Man, Okay, I love it. I love it. I mean, uh,
- 7:43Speaker 1: we know obviously you're you're you're a leader on the team.
- 7:46Speaker 1: You lead by example. What's it like to have you know,
- 7:49Speaker 1: Trevor Lawren's former number one overall pick from Clemson. Uh,
- 7:53Speaker 1: what is he like as a quarterback? I mean when
- 7:55Speaker 1: I when I came to the league, I had Drew
- 7:57Speaker 1: Brees and like so the epitome of a leader. I
- 8:01Speaker 1: know exactly what that looked like. You know, for you
- 8:03Speaker 1: you come in and then you get you get Trevor Lawrence,
- 8:06Speaker 1: and he clearly is a clear cut got to be
- 8:09Speaker 1: a leader. The way he plays, the way he you know,
- 8:11Speaker 1: implements his style to the game. What is he like
- 8:13Speaker 1: as a leader.
- 8:15Speaker 2: One thing that I can say about Trevor man is
- 8:18Speaker 2: the consistency that he has with the routine. You know,
- 8:22Speaker 2: I think the more older I get is you know,
- 8:24Speaker 2: you have to have a routine, but you can't be
- 8:26Speaker 2: a robot to that routine. But you have to have
- 8:29Speaker 2: a routine. And I remember, you know, his second year
- 8:32Speaker 2: and he just wasn't playing as good every morning because
- 8:35Speaker 2: we're like early birds. So I come in there, he
- 8:37Speaker 2: right there. So it's like seeing that every single day
- 8:40Speaker 2: from now, from then to now, it's consistent. You know,
- 8:44Speaker 2: He's always had the same demeanor of like, we gonna
- 8:47Speaker 2: get it. You know what I'm saying, We're gonna command this,
- 8:49Speaker 2: We're gonna take control, you know, but we just have
- 8:51Speaker 2: to keep seasoning the moments. And but so for me,
- 8:55Speaker 2: just to see him stay disciplined, to see him stay
- 8:57Speaker 2: locked in Lilliam State, trusted in his craft, and for him,
- 9:01Speaker 2: you know, I like to see that. And uh, he's
- 9:03Speaker 2: been doing that ever since. And I know it's gonna
- 9:05Speaker 2: pay off. You know. I think he's gonna have a
- 9:08Speaker 2: you know, breakout year this year, and I think he's
- 9:10Speaker 2: gonna lead us the right way and lead us to
- 9:12Speaker 2: you know a lot of victories.
- 9:14Speaker 1: Okay, Okay, I mean, yeah, that the AFCU out there
- 9:17Speaker 1: scrapping ya ya y'all y'a heavy sacks with backs, Yeah, yeah, yeah.
- 9:23Speaker 2: It's it's uh, it's the D line, you know how
- 9:26Speaker 2: I'll say the d lin Ley.
- 9:27Speaker 1: You know, the Battle of Trench is really gonna play
- 9:29Speaker 1: a part. And I think I think the investments y'all
- 9:31Speaker 1: made the last time y'all had success into into the
- 9:34Speaker 1: playoffs was you know, back when it was Saxonville. Yes, sir,
- 9:37Speaker 1: So like what y'all what y'all creative? With the addition
- 9:39Speaker 1: of Eric Armstead, y'all have potential to get back get
- 9:42Speaker 1: back to it, you know. Like it's like I said
- 9:45Speaker 1: in the intro, you had seventeen seventeen and a half
- 9:48Speaker 1: sacks this past season. Uh, how do you talk this
- 9:51Speaker 1: last season in terms of production?
- 9:53Speaker 2: I think, you know, I think last year, man, last
- 9:56Speaker 2: year was a difficulty. It wasn't. It was difficult for me,
- 10:00Speaker 2: you know because I feel like I couldn't rely on
- 10:02Speaker 2: anybody else mentally. So it's like two people, three people communication,
- 10:06Speaker 2: no communication. I'm gonna get it. I'm gonna meet the
- 10:09Speaker 2: band in front of me. I studied this dude since,
- 10:11Speaker 2: uh since since July, since June. You know, I know
- 10:15Speaker 2: my matchup and I'm gonna work this dude in front
- 10:17Speaker 2: of me. And I think, you know, that gave me
- 10:20Speaker 2: a lot of success individually, but I think it kind
- 10:24Speaker 2: of I could where I could have spreaded that wealth
- 10:26Speaker 2: all over the line and build this person and build
- 10:28Speaker 2: that person up. I think it was just like I
- 10:31Speaker 2: did it by myself. Now let me see if I
- 10:32Speaker 2: can do this, but added add the value to everybody else,
- 10:37Speaker 2: you know, and bring them to my level. Don't I
- 10:39Speaker 2: won't go to nobody else's level. I don't want to
- 10:41Speaker 2: bring everybody up to my level. And obviously adding Eric,
- 10:44Speaker 2: a guy that's been played at the high level for
- 10:46Speaker 2: so long, played with guys that played at the high level,
- 10:48Speaker 2: play with Nick defensive play of the Year, so he
- 10:50Speaker 2: knows what that work ethic is and he knows what
- 10:53Speaker 2: that competitive is. So it's like, if I can bring
- 10:55Speaker 2: that to my other guys and take more control right
- 10:58Speaker 2: there the CEFI, we go as a whole D line now.
- 11:01Speaker 2: And that's why I say, like AFC South young quarterbacks,
- 11:04Speaker 2: you know, we got guys really throwing that ball there,
- 11:06Speaker 2: and who's gonna win up front? And if you look
- 11:08Speaker 2: at every super Bowl. You know who who's taking over.
- 11:13Speaker 1: You know the heats and you see which one's gonna win.
- 11:16Speaker 2: And I told him, was that right? I want to
- 11:18Speaker 2: be the best one. We're gonna be the best D
- 11:19Speaker 2: line and we're gonna be the best D line. But
- 11:21Speaker 2: I want to be the best one. So you know
- 11:24Speaker 2: that's my that's my challenge for them, and you know
- 11:27Speaker 2: they accept. They know that. They know they accept that
- 11:29Speaker 2: for me, and I accept that for them as well.
- 11:31Speaker 2: Like Trey, Me and Trey talk all the time. It's
- 11:33Speaker 2: like my little brother, and like he know and I
- 11:36Speaker 2: know he knows, I'm gonna be the top dog Tree.
- 11:39Speaker 2: You gotta come give me well, he said, Josh, I'm
- 11:41Speaker 2: gonna be top doll. We're gonna work. You know what
- 11:43Speaker 2: I'm saying. It's that competitive edge man. We need to compete.
- 11:46Speaker 2: You know. I want to be the best. You want
- 11:47Speaker 2: to be the best. We want to be the best together,
- 11:50Speaker 2: and we keep we got to keep proving it right.
- 11:53Speaker 2: Everybody can do it one time, everybody, look do it
- 11:56Speaker 2: two times, three times.
- 11:57Speaker 1: That's where I got to get to the world. The
- 11:58Speaker 1: world tries to crown people king over one year. If
- 12:02Speaker 1: you've been in this Lee long enough. I'm like, yeah,
- 12:03Speaker 1: but show me three four years. You can do it
- 12:05Speaker 1: three four years. I believe in the height. If you
- 12:07Speaker 1: do it for one year, anybody can catch a lick. Anybody,
- 12:11Speaker 1: anybody can roll the dice and be amazing off one roll.
- 12:14Speaker 1: Show me if you can continue, you know, and then
- 12:16Speaker 1: you got to keep it like that that building like
- 12:18Speaker 1: and and the greatest thing about you just said is
- 12:20Speaker 1: you know, like i'ma be topped doll, but I want
- 12:21Speaker 1: you to come get me. It's like I used to
- 12:23Speaker 1: tell the d Lion. I'm telling d Lion all the time.
- 12:25Speaker 1: I like, Yo, if y'all can shine as bright as
- 12:28Speaker 1: y'all can, Like if y'all bring in everything y'all do,
- 12:30Speaker 1: y'all be amazing as you can think about how much
- 12:33Speaker 1: more amazing I'm gonna look too, Because like if you say, bro,
- 12:36Speaker 1: if you're if you're a sword and you're your sword
- 12:39Speaker 1: and your sword everybody is what is these gleaming swords
- 12:42Speaker 1: call me Excalibur, Like I'm gonna be like I'm a
- 12:45Speaker 1: king slayer, you know what I'm saying. Like, and you
- 12:47Speaker 1: have to have that mentality in this game. So when
- 12:49Speaker 1: you come to it, like I want to make Brian
- 12:51Speaker 1: Bezi the best he can be. I want to be uh,
- 12:55Speaker 1: I want to I want to make Carl Grant's and
- 12:57Speaker 1: the best that he can be because by doing that,
- 12:59Speaker 1: that base their play, which is gonna push myself to
- 13:02Speaker 1: work even harder.
- 13:03Speaker 2: Sir.
- 13:03Speaker 1: So, I mean, I just want to say, like, what
- 13:06Speaker 1: did you what did you do this differently? You know,
- 13:08Speaker 1: for years previous to this break, this huge monster's here.
- 13:12Speaker 2: You just had uh staying locked in.
- 13:15Speaker 1: You know.
- 13:15Speaker 2: I did a lot more reading this past year, my
- 13:18Speaker 2: audio books. Uh, lots more.
- 13:20Speaker 1: Audio books, like books protecting.
- 13:22Speaker 2: Football or just mental mental mindset brooks, you know, being
- 13:25Speaker 2: able to stay locked in, uh, being able to control,
- 13:29Speaker 2: you know, control what you could control. So for me
- 13:31Speaker 2: game days, man, I didn't listen to any music. You know.
- 13:34Speaker 2: I was really big on, you know, if anything was
- 13:37Speaker 2: to happen, I didn't want music to be the reason
- 13:39Speaker 2: why I didn't perform, you know, or it didn't I
- 13:41Speaker 2: didn't play my song. I didn't do this, just like
- 13:43Speaker 2: little things. So it was really big on how mentally
- 13:46Speaker 2: can I be in the game, Like I'm mentally confident.
- 13:48Speaker 2: I know. I studied this dude for so long. I
- 13:51Speaker 2: studied his offense. For so long there was no music.
- 13:54Speaker 1: How did you keep your cane.
- 13:56Speaker 2: A lot there? I'm just breathing, watching the whole time. No,
- 13:59Speaker 2: I get in a dark room. So my first thing,
- 14:02Speaker 2: my people find me a dark room. I get a
- 14:04Speaker 2: dark room. I go in there. I just chill out,
- 14:07Speaker 2: control my thoughts in the stadium, in the stadium, in
- 14:11Speaker 2: the locker room.
- 14:12Speaker 1: Once you once you get to the stadium.
- 14:13Speaker 2: I find you know, my people give me a dark room.
- 14:16Speaker 2: I go in there, and you know, I take a
- 14:18Speaker 2: little nap. I read my book. First of all. I
- 14:20Speaker 2: read my book so I can like get off of football,
- 14:22Speaker 2: get off of you know, any feeling that I'm about
- 14:25Speaker 2: to feel, and just have like a you know, I
- 14:28Speaker 2: got better off of reading, you know, and I'm reading
- 14:30Speaker 2: things that's that can apply to me in this game.
- 14:34Speaker 2: So I'm reading these books. I'm taking naps. I listen
- 14:37Speaker 2: to a little jazz here. And I got that from Lebron. Uh,
- 14:41Speaker 2: I got that from Brin. I definitely take that from Bro.
- 14:44Speaker 2: And you stay on the first page I read, Okay,
- 14:48Speaker 2: I read I've been reading this uh Relentlessness by Tim Grover,
- 14:54Speaker 2: and you know he talks about three areas of people.
- 14:57Speaker 2: You got a cooler, cleaner, you got a cool you
- 15:01Speaker 2: got a cleaner, and you got a closer. I'm a cleaner.
- 15:06Speaker 2: You know, look.
- 15:09Speaker 1: Cleaner, cleaner. What's the cleaner?
- 15:12Speaker 2: Guy that do it right? You know a guy that
- 15:16Speaker 2: do it right half the time, and you got to
- 15:18Speaker 2: cooler that guy that's just out there. You know, I
- 15:21Speaker 2: don't want to. You know they talking about clutch people.
- 15:24Speaker 2: You know, clutch people come come in clutch moments. I
- 15:27Speaker 2: want't be a player that come in at all moments.
- 15:29Speaker 2: And so if I can continue to have that mindset,
- 15:31Speaker 2: continue to challenge myself, continue to push myself in practice,
- 15:35Speaker 2: first one on the field, last one to leave. Really
- 15:37Speaker 2: doing things that's applying myself to get better during practice.
- 15:42Speaker 2: You know, I do things pre practice to get better
- 15:44Speaker 2: during practice, and then I do the things that after
- 15:47Speaker 2: practice that I didn't do right in practice. So every
- 15:50Speaker 2: day I just feel like I'm getting better. You know,
- 15:52Speaker 2: I'm eating right. You know, my family, My family is situated.
- 15:56Speaker 2: I make sure that my wife is you know, stable
- 15:59Speaker 2: enough that if I'm not in a house we're covering
- 16:00Speaker 2: my body or sleeping in this hyperbarrick, that everything's okay
- 16:04Speaker 2: and make sure I spend time with my kids and
- 16:07Speaker 2: obviously tell them, let them know why I'm doing what
- 16:10Speaker 2: I'm doing. And also I take them with me sometimes,
- 16:13Speaker 2: so you know, making sure everything in my life is
- 16:16Speaker 2: is what it's supposed to be so I can play.
- 16:18Speaker 2: That's why kids like we had to chill out on
- 16:20Speaker 2: the kids.
- 16:22Speaker 1: You know, three three is a plenty.
- 16:25Speaker 2: There is a lot.
- 16:26Speaker 1: It gets to be a lot, especially in season. You know, wife,
- 16:29Speaker 1: you need a date night, we.

- 16:34Speaker 2: today night.
- 16:36Speaker 1: You guys do like a defensive line dinner defense.
- 16:37Speaker 2: So again, so you know, un fortunate. We've been building
- 16:41Speaker 2: our house for three years and it just got finished
- 16:43Speaker 2: right before I signed my contract. You know, so prior
- 16:45Speaker 2: to that, I was like what, I don't know what
- 16:47Speaker 2: we're gonna do, you know, like we're gonna sell it,
- 16:49Speaker 2: We're gonna move here, we gotta do this. And then
- 16:52Speaker 2: we get our house done, and then a couple days
- 16:54Speaker 2: ago we signed our contract. So it's like this is
- 16:56Speaker 2: our future. We built it for our family and so like,
- 16:59Speaker 2: and now we got built to where we can entertain,
- 17:01Speaker 2: like we have spaces for the kids. And then we
- 17:04Speaker 2: have people now we can have people over, So I
- 17:05Speaker 2: kind of want to That's where he said, take more
- 17:07Speaker 2: control and take more lead, come over. You know we
- 17:11Speaker 2: did dinners. Yeah, but I want to do more of
- 17:14Speaker 2: like a chill like come to the crib. Maybe we'll
- 17:17Speaker 2: watch the game, maybe watch some tape. You know, I
- 17:19Speaker 2: got a good setup to where I can entertain a
- 17:21Speaker 2: lot more people, and I want to take more control
- 17:24Speaker 2: in that. And you know, this is my team. They
- 17:27Speaker 2: pay me to be that guy. Yeah, you know, so
- 17:31Speaker 2: it's time to take over.
- 17:32Speaker 1: Yeah, act accordingly. Look on our defense. We do defense

- 17:50Speaker 1: you know, from whoever on and then every other week
- 17:53Speaker 1: the d line will go eat you know. So then
- 17:56Speaker 1: so it's always just like camaraderie. It's always like trying
- 17:58Speaker 1: to figure out how like what motivates my teammates off
- 18:01Speaker 1: the field, on the field, whatever it is, so I
- 18:02Speaker 1: can be just have that relatable moment like in game
- 18:05Speaker 1: if things get huge, it's like all right, bro, Like,
- 18:08Speaker 1: I just need you to lock in with me, like

- 18:11Speaker 1: I know how to lock you in, you know, like
- 18:13Speaker 1: whatever it is. And I feel like those off the
- 18:16Speaker 1: field moments creates that trust and that camaraderie that you
- 18:20Speaker 1: sort of need to achieve success in the season. Yes, sir,
- 18:23Speaker 1: for you to have folks up to the house. Man,
- 18:27Speaker 1: I ain't no way with the kids. It ain't no

- 19:41Speaker 1: We'll be right back. So you're being at the sack summit, right,
- 19:46Speaker 1: How does this? How's this fitting to your goals of improving?
- 19:49Speaker 2: Man? Just I like to learn, I like to see
- 19:52Speaker 2: see my already came. I already got questions that I
- 19:55Speaker 2: want to ask certain people, and you're one of the
- 19:57Speaker 2: people I wanted to definitely chop it up with on
- 20:00Speaker 2: just you know how you I know how I break
- 20:02Speaker 2: down film, But like, what other tendencies do you look
- 20:06Speaker 2: at when you you know, when you're looking at a tackle,
- 20:08Speaker 2: you're looking at an offensive scheme? Like what is what
- 20:11Speaker 2: is telltale signs that you can see on film? You know?
- 20:14Speaker 2: Like that's really what I want to get to, you know,
- 20:17Speaker 2: I'm not big social outside. You know this that you know,
- 20:21Speaker 2: if I catch you, I catch you. Just like when
- 20:23Speaker 2: we played, y'all, you know, it was my moment. We
- 20:25Speaker 2: had a little time. I'm gonna go say what's up?
- 20:27Speaker 2: Told you you know what I'm saying, like, show my
- 20:29Speaker 2: respect Clays. And I was with Clays and one thing
- 20:32Speaker 2: he told me, Man, if you really love his game,
- 20:33Speaker 2: you gotta respect it. You got to respect the people
- 20:35Speaker 2: who paid it for you. So for me, it was like,
- 20:37Speaker 2: I've always you know, and I loved the game. I
- 20:39Speaker 2: always loved the game. So for him to say that
- 20:42Speaker 2: to me, so it's like when I do play against
- 20:44Speaker 2: another guy, I have to you know, I respect you know,
- 20:47Speaker 2: I respect the game. I respect what you've done. Not
- 20:50Speaker 2: a lot of people have done what you've done. So
- 20:51Speaker 2: it was a moment for me to show, you know,
- 20:54Speaker 2: show show, show show. My value to you is that
- 20:58Speaker 2: I'm coming to get you, bro, and I respect what
- 21:01Speaker 2: you do and I love it because I want to
- 21:03Speaker 2: be there one day.
- 21:05Speaker 1: And that club it's a club for a reason. Come
- 21:07Speaker 1: join me. I gotta get push. I'm gonna push this
- 21:09Speaker 1: bard over for twenty five thirty sacks and come on
- 21:12Speaker 1: now you know what I'm saying that just like it,
- 21:15Speaker 1: and you all got goals.
- 21:16Speaker 2: Because because Ryan, he's been showing me a lot of
- 21:18Speaker 2: your tape man, and so I've definitely been tapped in
- 21:22Speaker 2: a lot more so, you know, and I like what
- 21:25Speaker 2: you do. Yeah, I appreciate that, but I can't do
- 21:27Speaker 2: what you do.
- 21:28Speaker 1: No. I mean, look, there's a lot of boods that
- 21:30Speaker 1: you do that. I'm like, ah, I'm not, but I
- 21:33Speaker 1: know me got a lot of masks to him.
- 21:34Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 21:37Speaker 1: Ryan Nilson came in probably like year six or seven.
- 21:39Speaker 1: For me, it was like hey, man, mask kicks, I
- 21:41Speaker 1: need you big. And I was like, well, say lest
- 21:45Speaker 1: I'm your guy from beginn But I mean it's crazy
- 21:51Speaker 1: that you now you got Ryan Nielsen. He's different as
- 21:54Speaker 1: a decordinator than it was his D line coach. You
- 21:55Speaker 1: get like the relaxed Ryan Nielsen Ryan Nilson DL coach
- 22:00Speaker 1: hands on twenty four to seven. I believe he like
- 22:03Speaker 1: like he feeling the need to fire you up at
- 22:05Speaker 1: every moment. You're like, just take a breath, let me
- 22:08Speaker 1: talk to you over here. Let me let me talk
- 22:11Speaker 1: to you over here. So we don't have to we
- 22:12Speaker 1: don't have to have this, you know, because like you know,
- 22:14Speaker 1: when a new coach comes in, you know, it's like
- 22:16Speaker 1: he's he pays the way. It's like, hey, my way
- 22:19Speaker 1: to the highway, and I'm like, come to this highway
- 22:21Speaker 1: real quick. We're gonna make it our way.
- 22:23Speaker 2: Yeah, for sure, you know. And that's that's real that
- 22:25Speaker 2: you said that, because you know, I know what I
- 22:28Speaker 2: do best, you know, and what I do best kind
- 22:31Speaker 2: of doesn't it's not it's not like what he's was
- 22:34Speaker 2: like teaches to do. So to have that conversation that
- 22:38Speaker 2: sitting down with him, to have that conversation, he coach,
- 22:40Speaker 2: this is what I do best, right, and but I
- 22:43Speaker 2: do like what he did help me out. He said
- 22:45Speaker 2: to to He said three different things. Rush angles, you know,
- 22:49Speaker 2: speed rush, got to change the power angle rush. And
- 22:52Speaker 2: he made me simplified. He made me like made it
- 22:54Speaker 2: so simple. Give him power and he's gonna stop his feet.
- 22:57Speaker 2: What you got office a linement are dumb?
- 22:59Speaker 1: So like it that the same going It was half
- 23:01Speaker 1: of the linement, like they're literally cattle.
- 23:04Speaker 2: Yeah, what you do last?
- 23:05Speaker 1: Like which way did you go?
- 23:07Speaker 2: George?
- 23:07Speaker 1: That's the top of the lineman in general, and like
- 23:10Speaker 1: there's smarter ones I'm sure that can count the three,
- 23:12Speaker 1: but like, you know, for real, it's like it's like
- 23:16Speaker 1: if you kill him with the speed, move one one one,
- 23:19Speaker 1: put one down, like you can literally just be like
- 23:22Speaker 1: all right, now here's my counter. Like all they remember
- 23:27Speaker 1: is the last.
- 23:28Speaker 2: Now that's it, and it's yeah, he told me. He
- 23:32Speaker 2: told me those things, and I was like, I want
- 23:35Speaker 2: to go train on my own. I'm like, he just
- 23:37Speaker 2: made it a lot easier for me. So when I
- 23:39Speaker 2: want to study, it's like, you know, when I watch
- 23:41Speaker 2: your tape, what angle is he rushing at? Especially if
- 23:44Speaker 2: we're playing against a guy that we're about to see
- 23:46Speaker 2: this year, Like he worshed with his speed, and what
- 23:49Speaker 2: did his feet do? His feet kept going, his feet stopped?
- 23:52Speaker 2: So this is my counter. So it's like, you know,
- 23:54Speaker 2: putting moves that a lot of people do, But what
- 23:58Speaker 2: move can I do? You know, I'm a cross chop. Absolutely,
- 24:02Speaker 2: side saisions is not my thing, right, but cross chop?
- 24:05Speaker 2: How can I threaten you to get the same reaction
- 24:07Speaker 2: that you just got to put him in this position?
- 24:10Speaker 2: You know? So there's just things things I think I.
- 24:12Speaker 1: Stole my side swipe from like Alex okafort I becoming
- 24:16Speaker 1: like whatever it is. As I'm watching film, like, you know,
- 24:19Speaker 1: my my arm over I've been doing forever, but I
- 24:22Speaker 1: took I took that. I took that power move from
- 24:25Speaker 1: from Klay's campbell. I'm like, oh that was like after
- 24:28Speaker 1: I was like to catch my arm over. I can
- 24:29Speaker 1: try and work and work back inside with this. I'm
- 24:31Speaker 1: never going to be a hump guy, but I.
- 24:33Speaker 2: Like I can throw that thing.
- 24:35Speaker 1: I can, I can try to throw it, like I
- 24:37Speaker 1: still I still like different angles from all different rushers.
- 24:40Speaker 1: I look at Danil Hunter and I'm like, oh, that
- 24:41Speaker 1: long arm crazy and that like he has that that's
- 24:45Speaker 1: like his chop is just like vertically down. I'm feeling
- 24:48Speaker 1: moves at every like as much film as I watched.
- 24:50Speaker 1: I stopped watching film on officeive linemen and started watching
- 24:53Speaker 1: film on concepts, schemes and other defensive ends because I
- 24:57Speaker 1: love I love the way you know we rush or
- 25:00Speaker 1: how you rush or how Trayvon rushes.
- 25:02Speaker 2: When did you get when'd you When did you get
- 25:04Speaker 2: out of that? When did you get out of that? Realm?
- 25:06Speaker 1: Probably like year three, I was like so focused on like, oh,
- 25:09Speaker 1: what's he doing? What's he doing? I could care less
- 25:13Speaker 1: what he's doing because it's like he has to work
- 25:15Speaker 1: in work within the scheme. He has to work in
- 25:18Speaker 1: like if they're a pulling team or motion team, whatever
- 25:20Speaker 1: it is, he has to work in his confinements. And
- 25:23Speaker 1: then again, offensive linemen like if they were if they
- 25:26Speaker 1: were actually athletes, they would have played on the defensive side.
- 25:29Speaker 1: And that's like you'd be like, oh, man, he used
- 25:31Speaker 1: to be you know, he was a basketball player and
- 25:33Speaker 1: now he's fat, so he's an offensive lineman. Or like
- 25:37Speaker 1: oh he was a de tackle and he was a tackle,
- 25:40Speaker 1: but then he got fat and now he's a guard.
- 25:43Speaker 1: You know, like if you were twitchy, you would be
- 25:46Speaker 1: on this side. If you you know, if you were
- 25:49Speaker 1: as fast as they say, you be on on this side.
- 25:53Speaker 1: So I look at them as just you know, they're like,
- 25:55Speaker 1: oh he has great obstacles, Like his one job is
- 25:59Speaker 1: to hold dear life for three seconds.
- 26:01Speaker 2: Do you know it's crazy that you say that, because
- 26:03Speaker 2: I look at these dudes, that's how can I get
- 26:05Speaker 2: them to this arm slab? So when I was here
- 26:07Speaker 2: to when I was here for the last summer and
- 26:10Speaker 2: they had me up there speaking, but I was so
- 26:12Speaker 2: in shock. I'm like, I'm here breaking out my tape.
- 26:15Speaker 2: I'm like, uh. And I was talking to uh uh
- 26:22Speaker 2: justin Houston, and he was like, Bro, you gotta work
- 26:26Speaker 2: on you gotta work on the arm, you know, on
- 26:28Speaker 2: the arm sleds. You better be on there every single day,
- 26:32Speaker 2: every single day. You gotta know what you do. You
- 26:34Speaker 2: gotta trust what you do, because right now I don't
- 26:36Speaker 2: like your trusting what you're doing. You gotta go into
- 26:39Speaker 2: the trust real. And I'm telling I got you every
- 26:42Speaker 2: day I've been to this day, still do I even
- 26:44Speaker 2: one at the crib. I got my kids, I got
- 26:47Speaker 2: my kids. I'm trying to tell you. I tell my kids.
- 26:51Speaker 2: I say, hey, boys, what daddy do for living sack quarterbacks?
- 26:56Speaker 2: What y'all do for living sack quarterbacks? So let's do it.
- 27:00Speaker 2: It's like training. I get it. Come on, we work,
- 27:03Speaker 2: let's work this cross shot. I get my oldest, I
- 27:05Speaker 2: gotta work with the eyes closed. I switch it up
- 27:07Speaker 2: on my poset and I get back on and got
- 27:09Speaker 2: my second boy. He getting quicker on it now, six
- 27:12Speaker 2: years old.
- 27:12Speaker 1: Out there work.
- 27:13Speaker 2: Yeah, we get it because I feel like if I
- 27:15Speaker 2: can train them to do it, then I'm always keeping
- 27:18Speaker 2: it on my mind. You know what I mean, so
- 27:20Speaker 2: I think it kind of that's what I do. So
- 27:22Speaker 2: it's like if I can do what I do just
- 27:25Speaker 2: without thinking, then it's like who can stop me? In
- 27:28Speaker 2: my mind? Because if you if I can't cross chopping,
- 27:30Speaker 2: I'm gonna run down your face and start that. And
- 27:33Speaker 2: now you're thinking about me running out your face.
- 27:35Speaker 1: And that I cross I'm thinking at it.
- 27:39Speaker 2: So it's you know, everything got a plan in my mind.
- 27:44Speaker 2: But you know right now to eighty five Oh me too,
- 27:49Speaker 2: eighty five dollars system, Yeah, come.
- 27:52Speaker 1: On in mass kicks ass more power, Okay, And I've
- 27:58Speaker 1: been liking it.
- 27:59Speaker 2: Okay, I've been liking it.
- 28:00Speaker 1: Look you say that until you like fifty snaps in
- 28:03Speaker 1: in that back.
- 28:03Speaker 2: That back. They told me, they, Josh, I know you
- 28:07Speaker 2: like to play, well, we're gonna have to rotate you
- 28:10Speaker 2: a little bit.
- 28:11Speaker 1: Okay.
- 28:11Speaker 2: I'm like, I gotta fill it out, coach. And we
- 28:14Speaker 2: argued about that for a little bit. But I'm starting
- 28:16Speaker 2: to understand the reason and of the madness. But I
- 28:19Speaker 2: like to play, right. I got that from Kalayis. Kalays
- 28:22Speaker 2: he never want to get out the game. I used
- 28:24Speaker 2: to hate playing behind class, but Clays, I got you
- 28:26Speaker 2: it's it's ten players in class. I'm good, man, I'm good.
- 28:30Speaker 1: I'm good.
- 28:31Speaker 2: I'm about the game. Bro Come on, man, let me
- 28:34Speaker 2: get it up. But uh, but I feel like the
- 28:37Speaker 2: longer I can get into a.
- 28:38Speaker 1: Groove, you feel, you feel the flow, and you feel like.
- 28:40Speaker 2: I'm seeing I ain't see this. Look at this hill
- 28:43Speaker 2: he leaning on he rockets, you know. It's like, you know,
- 28:45Speaker 2: those are things I get when I'm in the when
- 28:47Speaker 2: I'm in the game. If i'm watching, I'm not I'm
- 28:50Speaker 2: watching this day, I'm looking at the ball, rust a
- 28:53Speaker 2: run or it's I'm not you.
- 28:54Speaker 1: Know, absolutely, that flowed the game.
- 28:56Speaker 2: It's serious, it's real.
- 28:58Speaker 1: We'll be right back.
- 29:01Speaker 2: Now.
- 29:01Speaker 1: Tell me about this. You like, you've had You've had rushers,
- 29:03Speaker 1: but now you've got Trayvon Walker on the other side. Uh,
- 29:07Speaker 1: what if you've given him so his game is like
- 29:10Speaker 1: you become a counterpart to him, you know, so they
- 29:12Speaker 1: have to worry about you and him, you know, they
- 29:15Speaker 1: double team you. They got to work about Trayvon or
- 29:18Speaker 1: you know, whatever whatever he's doing. You know, if you
- 29:20Speaker 1: guys switch sides, it's like, what are you looking looking
- 29:22Speaker 1: at his moves or is he looking at you? Or
- 29:24Speaker 1: it's like, how are you guys rushing the corrala quarterback?
- 29:26Speaker 2: I think it's a trust. I always tell him to
- 29:28Speaker 2: trust himself. You know you didn't. You didn't get here
- 29:31Speaker 2: for no reason. You know, and trust your process and
- 29:34Speaker 2: trust your moves. You know what I'm saying, Like I
- 29:36Speaker 2: just told you, I know what moves. I know I
- 29:38Speaker 2: can win on. I've trained it, I've trusted it. I've
- 29:41Speaker 2: instilled it in my mind and body that I can
- 29:44Speaker 2: work these moves and you and now I can do it. Trey,
- 29:46Speaker 2: you have to do the same thing. You have to
- 29:48Speaker 2: mold your body. What do you do best? His get off?
- 29:52Speaker 2: His get off is insane, Like getting to point A
- 29:56Speaker 2: to point B is probably the best I've ever seen
- 29:58Speaker 2: in person. You know, he's strong, he's long. So it's
- 30:02Speaker 2: just like, okay, you're fighting this dude. Your get off
- 30:05Speaker 2: is five yards, ten yards and two steps? Right now?
- 30:10Speaker 2: You on them because you just naturally like that, Well,
- 30:13Speaker 2: how are you gonna beat him? Now? Like when you
- 30:15Speaker 2: get on them, what are you gonna do? What's your plan?
- 30:18Speaker 1: You know?
- 30:18Speaker 2: Run down? Well, okay, well if he started that, then
- 30:21Speaker 2: what's your next plan? Now? It's angles? So now if
- 30:24Speaker 2: you keep running with this, you know, you power angle them,
- 30:28Speaker 2: but you get him sized scissors? Right, How is that working?
- 30:31Speaker 1: How are you making it?
- 30:32Speaker 2: You know what I'm saying. So you gotta really you know,
- 30:35Speaker 2: And there's been games where Bro just consistently just whipping dudes,
- 30:40Speaker 2: you know, because he knows what he's doing, you know
- 30:42Speaker 2: what I'm saying. So I think just consistently like being
- 30:45Speaker 2: on top of him and helping him out because you know,
- 30:48Speaker 2: I always felt like, you know, I'm just do this
- 30:51Speaker 2: by myself, but also be accountable for everybody else. But
- 30:54Speaker 2: now it's like trade. But we've also had times with Trade,
- 30:57Speaker 2: you know, right, we know that they running a time
- 31:00Speaker 2: or not inside. All right, I'm gonna go.
- 31:04Speaker 1: I'm gonna go. You go hard quarterback flush and you
- 31:07Speaker 1: know you really feed if you step up, it's me
- 31:09Speaker 1: if he if he flushed around, it's got to be you.
- 31:12Speaker 2: Absolutely, And that's one thing with Tray two is like
- 31:15Speaker 2: having that trust with each other because it was it
- 31:18Speaker 2: all changed for me. We played Miami in the preseason
- 31:22Speaker 2: and we did a flush game and like in practice,
- 31:25Speaker 2: we did it and Tray stopped, like he didn't finish
- 31:28Speaker 2: the flush. He just stopped and the quarterback just flushed out,
- 31:33Speaker 2: and so it was like, bro, you gotta do it.
- 31:34Speaker 2: And then in the game we did it, did the
- 31:36Speaker 2: same thing. He stopped at the quarterback flushed out. So
- 31:39Speaker 2: it was like it was like that moment where it
- 31:41Speaker 2: was like, no more, everything that we do, everything that
- 31:46Speaker 2: we trained for in practice is going to happen. So
- 31:49Speaker 2: let's not train bad habits in practice and walk through
- 31:53Speaker 2: and all the things that we do. Let's make sure
- 31:55Speaker 2: we're excellent and everything we do so when we get
- 31:56Speaker 2: into the game, is it's even better or it's better,
- 31:59Speaker 2: you know what I mean, Like at least have that
- 32:01Speaker 2: habit of doing it. So you know, that's one thing
- 32:03Speaker 2: that we just talk about all the time, like in practice,
- 32:06Speaker 2: Like you know, when we communicate, we communicate it ain't
- 32:09Speaker 2: know like yeah, yeah, I hear you. Nah. If you
- 32:11Speaker 2: tell me you want to work something, you want to
- 32:13Speaker 2: work something, I trust you. I trust what you see.
- 32:16Speaker 2: I'm gonna do it. And it goes vice versas, but
- 32:18Speaker 2: not only us, but the interior as well. Hey hey,
- 32:20Speaker 2: I got an exit right here. I've been watching on
- 32:22Speaker 2: tape second and long. He likes to just tag like
- 32:25Speaker 2: a kickset, so boo, and that's gonna give you a
- 32:27Speaker 2: lot Hey texted, texted, or goose it or you know
- 32:29Speaker 2: what I'm saying, hit that ads because he's coming out
- 32:31Speaker 2: to me, or we can run a quick exit because
- 32:33Speaker 2: he's bailing. So it's just like having that trust, and
- 32:35Speaker 2: that's where I want to get to. It's like having
- 32:37Speaker 2: that trust between the line that you know, when me
- 32:39Speaker 2: and Clay's rushed it said one thing. We said one
- 32:43Speaker 2: or two things to each other and it was like
- 32:44Speaker 2: sack because we trusted each other. He said something, Hey,
- 32:48Speaker 2: Jo's run a text.
- 32:49Speaker 1: You're all right, cool, gotta run it. Boom, I'm hitting it.
- 32:52Speaker 1: Text sack.
- 32:53Speaker 2: Hey, Clay's exit, exit, got you your fellow but booom
- 32:56Speaker 2: exit Sack. You know what I'm saying. So, but we
- 32:58Speaker 2: had that trust, and that was the thing that we
- 33:00Speaker 2: was hanging out outside the building as well. So it's
- 33:02Speaker 2: like we had like I want to bring that officially
- 33:06Speaker 2: to Jacksonville, you know, and I think we got a
- 33:09Speaker 2: lot of we got a good core now that's been there. Yeah,
- 33:12Speaker 2: So it's like I know what we're getting into and
- 33:15Speaker 2: I know what we can be.
- 33:16Speaker 1: Think about this when you're setting up moves right on
- 33:21Speaker 1: the edge to understand angles. It's a lot like hooping, right,
- 33:26Speaker 1: It's about getting your man off centered. So like in
- 33:29Speaker 1: my mind, if I'm on the edge and I'm like yo,
- 33:32Speaker 1: and like you know, when you're really teeing off you
- 33:34Speaker 1: have two three sacks or you're just killing your dude,
- 33:36Speaker 1: he go to the sideline. I'm like, I'm hooping right now.
- 33:38Speaker 1: I'm in my bag. I heard you. I heard you
- 33:40Speaker 1: hoop back in the gap, right, got a little little
- 33:42Speaker 1: basketball to you. Does that Do you think that helps
- 33:45Speaker 1: you out to play football? Uh?
- 33:48Speaker 2: Yeah, it definitely care But you don't want to have
- 33:51Speaker 2: that mindset, that basketball mindset playing for nobody. I said,
- 33:55Speaker 2: that's what I said.
- 33:58Speaker 1: I'm just saying, like the ability to isol the ability
- 34:01Speaker 1: to shift your weight to shift angles, like you know
- 34:04Speaker 1: when you exactly that band for sure.
- 34:07Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean definitely when I look at uh, when
- 34:10Speaker 2: I watched Vron, you know back in because I told
- 34:13Speaker 2: you I've been on the Super Bowl journey, right, So
- 34:15Speaker 2: when I watched back to the fifteen when he went
- 34:17Speaker 2: on that little run, he was the best player in
- 34:19Speaker 2: the playoffs whole every game. And the way for him
- 34:23Speaker 2: to work that bending keep going full speed is just
- 34:27Speaker 2: how do you do that? How do you work that?
- 34:29Speaker 2: How do you get to that angle? Like what was
- 34:31Speaker 2: your mindset? What was your what was your thought process?
- 34:34Speaker 2: Like what what did you do to get yourself in
- 34:37Speaker 2: that position at all times? If that was the that
- 34:40Speaker 2: was because he was just power rushing and as soon
- 34:44Speaker 2: as he stopped his feet just running around him. So
- 34:46Speaker 2: it's like that's the that's like you're about to cross.
- 34:49Speaker 2: So I can see it all relate. Obviously. I come
- 34:52Speaker 2: from a basketball family as well. Right If you know
- 34:54Speaker 2: my sister in w n B A, So I watch
- 34:56Speaker 2: her a lot, and she a big post player, and
- 34:59Speaker 2: I love seeing her get in the post because the
- 35:01Speaker 2: idea get a post, everybody back on the sheet work
- 35:05Speaker 2: in that spere. So I think body position all matters.
- 35:08Speaker 2: You having a power angle, I'm rushing you, I just
- 35:11Speaker 2: ran down your face. I might know I might not
- 35:13Speaker 2: a one, but you felt me run on your face.
- 35:16Speaker 2: So now when I give you that same illusion, just
- 35:19Speaker 2: like you said, they don't get that same illusion, you're
- 35:21Speaker 2: gonna stop your feet getting ready.
- 35:22Speaker 1: To catch it.
- 35:24Speaker 2: Now you can't recover. So I think it, dude, got
- 35:26Speaker 2: a good you know, I think it does matter.
- 35:29Speaker 1: Foundation where it transfers over absolutely, now do you agree with?
- 35:34Speaker 1: You know, was that a month ago, a month and
- 35:36Speaker 1: a half ago when Austin Rivers hit everybody with the
- 35:39Speaker 1: there's more NBA players that could transfer over to the NFL,
- 35:42Speaker 1: the NFL, the NBA, And I was like, that don't
- 35:46Speaker 1: make sense, Like we're talking about height differential. And even then,
- 35:49Speaker 1: who like Austin Rivers. I'm like, I'm saying, who would like?
- 35:52Speaker 1: Who would who could? Who could play? Who could have
- 35:55Speaker 1: a successful career from the NBA to NFL?
- 35:58Speaker 2: Right? Them dudes is huge, They're tall, bro Polo. I
- 36:01Speaker 2: went to the Magic playoff game man and I took
- 36:04Speaker 2: a picture. But I'm big, right, you know. I took
- 36:07Speaker 2: a picture about this dude. This dude is mass tall.
- 36:10Speaker 2: How do you play?
- 36:11Speaker 1: Like?
- 36:11Speaker 2: What do you play? Would you play? You play tight end?
- 36:14Speaker 1: You're dying, You're you're getting her, You're dying. You can't
- 36:18Speaker 1: you can't run over the middle. But it's over. It's
- 36:21Speaker 1: over anything six seven and above you at tight end,
- 36:24Speaker 1: you're just a red zone threat or your your career
- 36:26Speaker 1: is over.
- 36:26Speaker 2: Them boys not playing receiver, right, the boys not playing running?
- 36:29Speaker 2: But who playing running back?
- 36:30Speaker 1: Look? I see I see basketball players like like run
- 36:33Speaker 1: routes and they look like Buddy off of off of
- 36:36Speaker 1: American whatever, bro, And I'm like, like, it's it's just
- 36:43Speaker 1: be upset, like, man, I really got it like that.
- 36:45Speaker 2: But guys can really hoop like we got hooping. We
- 36:49Speaker 2: got there's some people in the in the NFL that
- 36:52Speaker 2: can really holp like and we the same size as them,
- 36:57Speaker 2: something somewhat to threes. You know what I'm saying.
