  Speaker 1: you and him just go talk whatever you guys have
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: to talk about.

  Speaker 2: And then yeah, I mean again, we got to put
• 1:20
  Speaker 2: the time in. Me and Trevor just starting to go
• 1:23
  Speaker 2: together this year, so you got to build that chemistry,
• 1:26
  Speaker 2: put in the extra time if you want to win.
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: You got a lot of playoff experience. How does that
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: help a team that's mostly young guys or guys that
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: don't have a.
• 1:35
  Speaker 3: Lot of playoffs.
• 1:37
  Speaker 2: You just know how long the season is, know how
• 1:38
  Speaker 2: you got to take care of your body, and then
• 1:40
  Speaker 2: also know how important it is to win the games,
• 1:43
  Speaker 2: not only early, but you know when it comes December.
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: In fact, that's the most important month out of year.
• 1:48
  Speaker 2: So Beriby to bring that knowledge to this team is big.
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: Well help comparatively to where training camp started and knowing
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: you're coming off the injury and you've kind of slowly
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: been incorporated back into the offense.
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean I feel pretty good. Did everything today,
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: all team reps and that last like I don't know,
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: twelve fifteen play drive whatever it was. I was in
• 2:08
  Speaker 2: there the whole time. Felt good. So the body's feeling great.
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: You feel like you'll be good together for Saturday if
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: your number is called.
• 2:15
  Speaker 3: Oh yeah, yeah for sure, Yeah, I'll be good to go.
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: What do you have to say about this defense that
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: you have to go against dev Free Dad?
• 2:22
  Speaker 3: It seems very.
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: Physical, very Yeah, that's what you want out of your defense.
• 2:27
  Speaker 2: That that's the kind of players. You want a bunch
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: of a bunch of physical guys who play together and
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: love each other.
• 2:31
  Speaker 3: And that's what the defense does. They have.
• 2:33
  Speaker 2: They break down together every single day after I have
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: to practice. The dbs all pray together every single day,
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: which is awesome to see. So they're a tight knit
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: group and that's what you need in your defense because
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: you know, like they say, defense wins you championships.
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: I think Press said you were kind of getting Brian
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: Thomas out of his show.
• 2:51
  Speaker 3: A little bit there.
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: Can you elaborate on what you've had to do with
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: him from that standpoint, because he's pretty quiet, reserved guy.
• 2:57
  Speaker 3: Yeah, BT's real quiet.
• 2:59
  Speaker 2: So I mean, I feel like I have a good uh,
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: I have a good sense of humor, and I feel
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: like I can kind of break through people's uh, break
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: through people's shells, like you guys said with BT. But
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: but BT's a funny guy. He's a good guy, loves
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: to hang out and talk, so you just got to
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: get it out of him.
• 3:16
  Speaker 3: And once he got comfortable with.
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: Us, it was like nothing now, So how does that
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: help in terms of him learning what he's supposed to
• 3:22
  Speaker 2: do on the field.
• 3:23
  Speaker 3: When you can finally reach a guy like that, Yeah.
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: Just because communication is better if you get a guy
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: that's just not in his head saying yeah, I just
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: can't talk to you back. It's kind of hard to
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: know what they're thinking, to know what they uh, how
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: they feel.
• 3:35
  Speaker 3: So being able to communicate is big.
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: It feels like our coaches have said that they've tried
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: to install the bread and butter plays, the kind of
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: closer to the line of scrimmage plays. But what is
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: it going to be like for you once you guys
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: start getting into more of that explosive routes and things
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: like that.
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: I mean, once you install the you know, the general things.
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: I feel like all the other stuff that are add
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: ons are kind of game game week situation situation, so
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: kind of makes it easy and may you just study
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: that week and you know you'll be fine with it.
• 4:05
  Speaker 2: We've all played so much football, so it's not going
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: to be hard to be able to adjust on with
• 4:10
  Speaker 2: new plays or a new a new little system or something.
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: More yourself coming off of these injuries for the long
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: haul of the season.
• 4:18
  Speaker 3: That isn't from you.
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: Yeah, you fight with it sometimes because you're a new
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: player on a new team and you're trying to prove
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: yourself to the guys that that you're going to be
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: playing with, that that you're tough, that you can make plays,
• 4:29
  Speaker 2: that you can be dependable, they can trust you. So
• 4:32
  Speaker 2: when you are going through some of those aches and pains,
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: you just kind of have to fight through mentally, because again,
• 4:35
  Speaker 2: you want to be able to show these guys that
• 4:37
  Speaker 2: you got their back and you're willing to do, you know,
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: whatever it takes to be able to be successful.
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: You've talked about being back in your home state, how
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: special it would be for you on Saturday, when you're
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: actually in this stadium, the lights come on, all of
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: that good stuff.
• 4:48
  Speaker 3: It'll be dope. Like I said, my mom's from out here,
• 4:50
  Speaker 3: it's from Frenden Beach.
• 4:52
  Speaker 2: It's like a dream come true for her to be
• 4:54
  Speaker 2: able to see your son playing for the Jaguars.
• 4:57
  Speaker 3: So it'll be something special.
• 4:59
  Speaker 2: A lot of my family will be be around, and
• 5:01
  Speaker 2: you know, couldn't ask for anything better.
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: No, it's a preseason but knowing all the battles like
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: Buffalo that you have, Chiefs, a little something extra when
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: you see the Red.
• 5:11
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it's always a little something extra with the Chiefs, man.
• 5:14
  Speaker 2: I mean playing playing them so many times that I have,
• 5:18
  Speaker 2: they have they have a special place in my heart.
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: But uh, it's a it's you know, preseason game.

  Speaker 2: You I know a lot of the guys over there
• 5:27
  Speaker 2: to uh do playing with them over the years. So
