  Speaker 1: every persition to go against tackles are all different. So
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: just preparing myself and really knowing not in the league
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: now what's going to happen. And the biggest thing is
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: what I'm saying, Like, what I have done is one thing,
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: but I have to prepare to continue and trying to
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: maintain this drive that I have right now. Are you
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: seeing more attention we ships see stuff? Uh, attention get
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: hot daily? Yeah, definitely, definitely, there's uh there's a little
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: bit of difference. You know, you have to prepare on
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: how to play off of the chips and how to
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: uh put yourself in a position to still be effective,
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: you know, regardless of the ships, regardless of the ways
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: they made you to know IFI your pass, rush, sack
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: and eight tackles pretty much for back as Keryl Taylor
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: have to sack play. Do you feel like you all
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: kind of fuck with you have to step up with
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: you now. I mean we definitely do. I mean, he
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: was a big part of our defense. You know, there's
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: a reason that he was that guy for us. Uh.
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: And it's not even just how we played, it's also
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: the mentality he had in the mental aspect of the game.
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: You know, being out there with him, we see one
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: of those people that could give you tips and tendency.
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: So just being out there with him was easy. And
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: now we just have to find a way to step
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: up as a whole group and figuring out how we're
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: gonna address our roles and make sure that we can
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: be those players. Wins are wins in this league, but
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: how does the game of victory is a team like
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: that that you know, what's gonna play spasht football and
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: and they're gonna play physical, how does a win make
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: that stack up when you're trying to position yourself building
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: making the way see in the NFC and through the position.
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: I mean it's a big one. Uh. We always told ourselves,
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: especially you know, we loves of last year, we wanted
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: to improve our run game, and knowing what type of
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: team this was and what type of team they'd be
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: bringing in here, we had to be prepared to, you know,
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: for the running game, and then that's the one thing
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: that they they strive on and that's one thing they
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: you know, they've been have success on it. So we
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: had to figure out a way to nullify that and
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: get into our type of game. And I feel as
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: if we had the you need to do that in
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: the game. And you know, really they had some runs
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: that got honess, but just for the most part, we
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: actually had to hile them down to real I feel
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: a really good number. The standard of getting three turnovers
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: to how often it is playing in fortunate is that
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: every day? Yeah, numbers, But what bills different for you
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: this season compared to the last season. We here, guys,
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: you know, making second year jumps forever reason. What do
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: you think it is that's looking for you right now?
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: I mean, as of last year, it was one thing.
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: You know, I was a rookie coming in understanding the game,
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: and then all of a sudden, you know, you going
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: into your second year, you have a plan, you all here,
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: you have a whole off season. Now I know what
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: to expect. Now I know how much time I have
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: to prepare. So honestly, going into from last season to
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: this season. I took that time to really reflect on
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: my game, reflect on my things I need to how
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: to get comfortable. And I think that's the biggest thing
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: that I've noticed. Uh, definitely the biggest thing for me
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: is that the comfortability when I'm on the field. You know,
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: all of a sudden you hit the inside move and
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: then boom, you're there at the quarterback. I and what
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: the most of going down is it? Did you feel
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: like you sort of have to step up because of
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: that side? Uh? I mean it's uh. As a group,
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: we have to you know what I'm saying, Once we
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: lose somebody, as a group, you have to understand that
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: roles are different and the situations are different. So there's
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: you know, he was a big pa, like I said,
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: a big factor. So I have to be able to
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: set up as a whole group. There's not just one
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: player taking on a whole role. We have Darryl Taylor,
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: we have Derek Derek Taylor's actually stepping into his role
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: and he's really stepping up and then other sat today.
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: So as a group we have to pick up and
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: make sure that we can uphold our end of the deal.
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: When you comfortable about there just going back the moment deal.
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: Are you then less sticking it out the play and
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: just reappy and making the play? Yeah, definitely. Uh, when
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: you can see things, he kind of You know, football
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: is one of those things. It's where it's it's art,
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying. There's certain movements and certain
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: things that you know have to happen in a play,
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: and when you see it, you kind of can see
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: the play unfold before it happens. I next certain way
