  Speaker 1: What's going on that the Byway tree. Yeah, it's a
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: good bye week. Just stayed out here, chilled, rested and
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: didn't do too much.
• 0:18
  Speaker 2: What's change the most of the defense since the second half.
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: Of that Rams game? Think I was just playing faster, harder,
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: executing the calls better, making some things come to life
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: whatever Herd is calling. And I think just the overall
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: team chemistry it's been better.
• 0:40
  Speaker 2: What's that?
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: How's jem Are you helped.
• 0:44
  Speaker 2: City? How's Jeremy?
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: You'd help your boy leader? I think just his work,
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: ethic and his mentality. You know, the veteran presence that
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: he brings in the locker room has helped uh a
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: number of us, especially the young guys, And so think
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: just his presence as long and then also his production.
• 1:02
  Speaker 2: What is Bobby added to his leadership skill set?
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: Yeah, one hundred percent. You know, Bobby's the ultimate leader.
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: You know, his effect goes deeper than just the defense. Uh,
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: I think it's the whole team. And so having him
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: back and his leadership has been, you know, a big
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: plus for us.
• 1:23
  Speaker 2: Has there been any a certainly sharing of responsibilities? What
• 1:27
  Speaker 2: what's the conversations between you and Bobby when it comes
• 1:31
  Speaker 2: to actual responsibilities.
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: On the field. There's a lot of conversation going on.
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: It's a lot so we could be talking about what
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: we might be seeing in the run game as well
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: as the past game, and then getting the D line
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: situated based on what we're calling. If we seen something
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: on film, uh, earlier in the week and we recognize
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: it on tape, we alert one another, and so it's
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: a lot of communication going on and a short amount
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: of time before the stat is snap.
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: What makes Bobby the ultimate leader, as you called.
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: Him, Uh, experience, I think anybody with that much EXPI
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: what is this year twelve or or eleven, something like that,
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: But I think experience is the ultimate teacher. And so
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: when you've been through it all, seeing the highs and lows,
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: especially being here in this program, I think that leadership,
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: you know, a lot of that comes from his experience
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: and then just the person that he is and what
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: is it like me?
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: We we caught the tail end of the speech he
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: gave a couple of weeks ago, after week one, But
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: what else does that look like weekend and week out?
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: You talk about his leadership, Yeah, I think kind of
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: just being who he is, you know, obviously he's gonna
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: go to the Hall of Fame when he's done, and people,
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: you know, players, we look at him when he walks
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: into the locker room, see how he goes about his business.
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: What is it that makes him who he is? So
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: it's really more of what he's doing rather than what
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: he's saying, you know, really first and last out type
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: of guy. And so I think he's more so what
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: he's doing, his work ethic and his routine and how
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: he gets his self prepared.
• 3:18
  Speaker 2: You do you on the field talk differently now than
• 3:22
  Speaker 2: you did two years ago? Being the it being that
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: you've had more experienced plus playing in his position a
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: year ago.
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: Yeah, one cause I didn't talk two years ago. Yeah,
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: I didn't r have much to say. I was I
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: feel like I'm still learning. But that's been the biggest difference,
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: you know, me talking honestly.
• 3:44
  Speaker 2: You obviously were coming off a major injury.
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: Yet it looks like you been able to just kind
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: of do everything.
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: But you felt any any sort of anything you go
• 3:50
  Speaker 2: through these first four games or I.
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: Don't felt anything. I've I've been feeling great. Yeah.
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: When you look at these defenses, both teams are really
• 3:59
  Speaker 2: good when it comes to turn over differential. Does it
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: feel different on the field when you have two teams
• 4:05
  Speaker 2: that are really good at taking the ball away and
• 4:07
  Speaker 2: not turning it over.
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's a competition, you know, And this is why
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: we play the game and compete. And so I'm excited
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: for the match up to go out there and and
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: play as a unit. See how we can do it
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: again this week.
• 4:22
  Speaker 2: Coverage wise, just what kind of difference does it make
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: when the guys up front are getting home and getting pressure.
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: All the difference when you can get the quarterback off
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: his spot, get 'em paranoid, just mess up his throwing
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: lanes and makes covering a lot easier. Cause truth is
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: this hard to cover in his league. You know, guys
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: are gifted. And when you gotta cover for four to
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: five seconds, I mean that favors in the offenses. Uh,
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: that favors them. And so when we can get the
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: guys going up front and it's it doesn't have to
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: be a sack all the time, just getting in his face,
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: getting them flushed, it works well. Plus that in mind,
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: how impressed have you been with Devin Wetherspoon in a
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: way He's been able to jump into us, get up
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: to speed the gave me had last week and all that,
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: I've been super impressed. I don't wanna I don't wanna
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: talk about it too much cause I wanted to keep going,
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: you know, but I I I'm impressed with what he's
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: been doing, man, and I just I just wanna keep
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: doing what he's doing. He works hard, smart young man,
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: and so it's gonna be exciting to see how it
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: all un folks were.
• 5:29
  Speaker 2: Do you feel is there any impact that the the
• 5:32
  Speaker 2: team mintings you guys have, like before the game and
• 5:35
  Speaker 2: how those go and how crazy those are on what
• 5:36
  Speaker 2: happens there. Do you think that's any impact on how
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: guys end up performing on gaming?
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: Yeah, the team meetings for the game the night before
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: the game, and they get pretty wild. Sometimes might have
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: a a chair thrown into the wall or something, but
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: they get pretty wild. It definitely gets guys fired up
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: for the game, and so I think it's got a
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: big impact.
• 6:02
  Speaker 2: I thank you to my extra
