• 0:05
  Speaker 2: hands so you can get to the.
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: Nah. I don't think the club need you to be
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: any bigger. But it's very useful. Though.
• 0:13
  Speaker 2: Is that first time you played with something like that?
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: Yes? What's it? What's it like? How you're adjusting to it?
• 0:19
  Speaker 3: You know, I still find myself just natural like movements
• 0:22
  Speaker 3: or reactions like grabbing and stuff.
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: But I got to like a squishy ball on.
• 0:25
  Speaker 3: The inside, so I can still imitate the movements.
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: But it's definitely different.
• 0:32
  Speaker 2: That coulda be have to be all your thing, do
• 0:33
  Speaker 2: you think?
• 0:34
  Speaker 3: Or yeah, just trying to protect my hand right now,
• 0:37
  Speaker 3: you know, just having two surgeries back to back.
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: You said they when they tape it up, you have
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: a squishy ball in there.
• 0:43
  Speaker 3: Yeah, make a little squishy ball just so I can
• 0:46
  Speaker 3: have something to grab on too, just when it's on
• 0:48
  Speaker 3: the inside.
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: What was it like playing through that? And you played
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: through that?
• 0:51
  Speaker 2: Uh?
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: What was it a fracture for a little bit. What
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: was it like playing through it? Uh?
• 0:55
  Speaker 3: Painful to have surgery and then you know, I think
• 0:59
  Speaker 3: I played ten days later.
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: To refracture it.
• 1:02
  Speaker 3: Uh, it was painful, but you know we had to
• 1:05
  Speaker 3: make a decision that was best for us in the
• 1:07
  Speaker 3: long hall, and we made it that we back.
• 1:10
  Speaker 2: Yeah, you're the Bob Twacher on guys More and that stuff.
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: It w What does that kind of mentality mean to
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: this team?
• 1:16
  Speaker 3: You know, it's something that we came up with as
• 1:18
  Speaker 3: the players, the leadership group, the whole team.
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: Uh, we asked what gods thought? You know.
• 1:23
  Speaker 3: That's just standard that we set for ourselves and for
• 1:26
  Speaker 3: the team, something that we uphold and uh.
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: We hold dearly to us.
• 1:29
  Speaker 3: So how we play, how we interact with each other,
• 1:32
  Speaker 3: our characteristics, how we carry ourselves.
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: It's, uh, everything all involved.
• 1:36
  Speaker 2: It's the most special part of this defense.
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: Just the defense period.
• 1:41
  Speaker 3: I think the connection that we have with each other
• 1:43
  Speaker 3: we very w we are very well connected.
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: Uh.
• 1:46
  Speaker 3: We play for each other, we play hard for each other.
• 1:49
  Speaker 3: We depend on each other, and we celebrate with each other.
• 1:52
  Speaker 2: What do you plan on doing when you're forty four
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: years old?
• 1:54
  Speaker 3: You know, Uh, I'm not coming back to football, I
• 1:57
  Speaker 3: can tell you, Yeah, I don't care what's going on.
• 1:59
  Speaker 3: But probably just with my kids, probably coaching my son up,
• 2:04
  Speaker 3: probably at cheerleading practice, something with my daughters.
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: You've played against him a couple of times or I
• 2:08
  Speaker 2: know you've got at least one sack on him.
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: Yeah, what what is what is the challenge? What?
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: What has always been the challenge of playing against hers?
• 2:14
  Speaker 3: He Uh veteran quarterbacks smart. Uh, He's seen every type
• 2:17
  Speaker 3: of defense that you could name. He knows where to
• 2:19
  Speaker 3: go with the ball. It's you know, I don't know
• 2:23
  Speaker 3: what to expect, to be honest, you know, I don't
• 2:25
  Speaker 3: know which quarterback we will see. But you know he's
• 2:28
  Speaker 3: coming off the couch after five years, so you know,
• 2:32
  Speaker 3: m we'll see when we'll get to Sunday.
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: Do you ever laugh of just trash talking?
• 2:37
  Speaker 3: Nah, we ain't going for none of that. No disrespect
• 2:40
  Speaker 3: this way. You know, we respect each other games. But
• 2:43
  Speaker 3: you know he talking we talked with the past.
• 2:45
  Speaker 2: Jonathan Taylor is one of the best batch your back
• 2:48
  Speaker 2: to back weeks. You gotta really get backs.
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: But what's the difference in Taylor compared to last week
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: with Robins. I think you know it.
• 2:55
  Speaker 3: It starts with upfront for the coach, they have a
• 2:58
  Speaker 3: very good front on the run schemes a.
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: Real good Uh.
• 3:01
  Speaker 3: You know, we just gotta execute our players, play our game.
• 3:04
  Speaker 3: You know, we gotta controlled a lot of scrimmage.
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: You guys take it the way you play run this year.
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: Oh, we take it so much pride in.
• 3:10
  Speaker 3: You know, you can't even so can't begin to rush
• 3:14
  Speaker 3: or nothing without stopping the run. And that's on us
• 3:17
  Speaker 3: up front. So we're not stopping the run, then we
• 3:19
  Speaker 3: have a problem up front. You know, we take very
• 3:21
  Speaker 3: much pridem that every week, every practice, every time we
• 3:24
  Speaker 3: hit the field.
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: As a as a veteran player, what have you learned?
• 3:28
  Speaker 3: Are some of the keys to a team playing as
• 3:30
  Speaker 3: best ball in December and January? To stay together, stay
• 3:34
  Speaker 3: competing in times like this. You know, sometimes practice slows down.
• 3:38
  Speaker 3: You know, it's a long season, so you gotta take
• 3:41
  Speaker 3: care of your bodies.
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: But we got to.
• 3:42
  Speaker 3: Stay mentally locked in and then when we hit the field,
• 3:44
  Speaker 3: when we're going, we have to compete. I think that
• 3:47
  Speaker 3: would be just be the difference to make each other
• 3:48
  Speaker 3: better every time we hit the field.
• 3:50
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I know, you guys take every game, every opponent
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: really seriously and every game matters. But when you see
• 3:57
  Speaker 2: a quarterback come back after five years not playing and
• 3:59
  Speaker 2: be and older, you know, is there an extra level
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: of Okay, we got to take this seriously and not
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: let our card down.
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: Absolutely.
• 4:06
  Speaker 3: You still gotta respect the game man, because overall he
• 4:09
  Speaker 3: was a great quarterback in this league when he was playing.
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: But you know, we can't look past it. We can't
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: take it for granted.
• 4:15
  Speaker 3: Like I'll say all the time, you know, we gotta
• 4:17
  Speaker 3: respect our grind, we gotta respect our process, and we
• 4:20
  Speaker 3: just got to play good football.
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: Anything.
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: Thanks for
