• 0:20
  Speaker 1: This week is presented by by Star and this week's
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: guest is Jaguars defensive lineman Malcolm Brown. Malcolm, first of all,
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: welcome and I appreciate you doing this. Thank you, And
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: it's no problem. Okay, it's uh tell me, uh you are?
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: But if it's a transition or not. I always thought
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: you were a nose tackle coming in. You're not really
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: playing nose in this scheme or maybe you are? Are
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: you all over the front or tell me about your
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: role and I do you like it? Do you like
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: the way you're fitting in? Uh? Yeah, I definitely like
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: how offensive defense. You know what I'm saying, uh, is
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: that they're grounding away everything. Didn't even wherever they needed
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: to be at all players they needed to play left
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: end any situation. I'll be able to play it. But uh,
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: I mean, just wherever they tell me I gotta go.
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: I just try to do that job as the best
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: of my ability, you know what I mean. As I
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: was preparing for this you know, I'm always fascinated by
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: defensive lineman, especially those tackles. Defensive lineman, whatever the role,
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: your role is to occupy, get off, make plays. But
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: you gotta be in the nitty gritty. What does it
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: take to play this position? Tell me about because it's brutal.
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: People who watch football see wide receivers, you guys running around,
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: but you have a brutal position. Tell me about. I
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: just I mean, I mean one word that comes to mind,
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: and it just takes grit, you know what I'm saying.
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: You gotta want to win a fight. You gotta want
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: to be in there. You can't be down there and
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: not want to be in there and not want to
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: play the run and not want to do these things.
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: But then you don't get blown out of there. So
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: you gotta be built for You gotta be made a
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: little different, you know what I'm saying everybody, and not
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: made to be intrenched. So, um, you gotta just you,
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: I mean kind of just be a tough guy. You know,
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: just know what your job is. It's just not the
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: staying through the down. Is there ever a time third
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: quarter you're getting up for the fiftieth time that game?
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: Some Lineman's on top of your saying, Man, I wish
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: I was a wide receiver. Definitely not. Man, I love
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: what I do. You know what I'm saying, I wouldn't
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: be here. That's how I look at I wouldn't be
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: here if I wasn't doing this. So uh, I mean
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: I love it. I embrace it, and you know what
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: I mean. I just go out there, try to get
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: the job done. And no point during the game, while
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: like I want to play different. Why are you good at?
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: What is it about you that makes you good at?
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: You've been playing a long time? First round pick? Why
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: are you fit for this? Um? I mean, I think
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: it takes it just that, it takes a whole bunch
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: of things. I mean, you got to kind of know
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: about the position. I kind of know what the job is,
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: I know, with the aspect of you and all those things,
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: and then you just go out there and within those
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: guidelines and try to, you know, just disrupt the offense
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: or do whatever you can. It just needs to play.
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: I played on the inside. Final question because it fascinates me.
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: Have you ever seen you know, not naming names? Have
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: you ever seen a guy who's playing at you that
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: you're like, man, this guy ain't gonna make it. This
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: guy is not put on this earth to be a
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: those tackle, but he's here. Especially when you get to
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: the league, I'm sure there's some guys who just can't
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: do it. I say, once you get to the league,
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: I mean everybody's kind of at that level where everybody's
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: playing good. If you made it here, obviously they've seen
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: something in you for you to build this level. And
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: everybody got different skill sets. So I can't look at
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: one guy and be like, oh, you're not You're not
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: made fence because he might not be like the best
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: runs stopper, but I mean he might get up the
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: field real well, or he might do something really good
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: in a different position. I might be missing that, you
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: know what I mean. So, I mean everybody kind of
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: got their own little room at the end, like their
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: own kind of body type, the kind of get off,
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: they own get off kind of whatever the defense is,
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: you know, they're kind of working within that. But I mean,
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: whatever that steam is, whatever that's go technique, if that's
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: based two gap, whatever it may be like that, that
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: players within that steam. So tell me about this run defense.
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: There's been so much talk about it, it has struggled
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: here in the last couple of years. What is different
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: about you guys, I know the past of the past.
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: What is different about this front that gives you confidence
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: that this is going to be a unit that can
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: stop the run? I know it's the emphasis. I just
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: think that, you know, but all stars, that is trust,
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: you know. I mean, you gotta trusted your teammate's gonna
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: be in their gap, and they gotta trust that you're
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: gonna be in your gap. And y'all just gotta kind
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: of work work together, you know. I mean we're all
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: building that that, you know, that relationship where we know
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: how each other plays, and we know how they fit
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: on these things and this and that, so we could
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: play well off each other. That's gonna go well to
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: the run game. Not even gaps open and stuff like
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: that for people to hit in preecess for big yards. So, um,
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: that's where it all starts at, and that's what we
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: want to start at. So everybody just we just want
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: to be fundamentally sound in the run game, you know
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: what I mean, you're getting the way they in those
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: fastest situations. Kind of a different topic, but I want
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: to get to it. Texas to the SEC. It's a
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: big move, um. But you know, I mean, I'm glad
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: that they, you know, trying to trying to better themselves.
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: Get I mean, I'm not gonna say better because there's
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: some great competition in the Big twelve too, so but
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: you know, I mean, whatever they see over there in
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: SEC that they want to make that move for, they
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: have their own reasons. But I mean, I'll be watching,
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: you know, and I'll always be room for Texas. I
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: got you. We're in the middle of a work week
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: for the these guys, so explain to fans. We're not
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: gonna be too long with Malcolm today. So I gotta
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: get to this question. Two thousand and seventeen AFC Championship game,
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: you're playing the Jackson. Did you ever think that it
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: was over at game point? Malcolm? Because this team had you,
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: did they not? Uh? Man? The one the one thing
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: I've always learned a boy playing in the NFL is
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: to never give up, you know what I mean. And
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: that's that's something that's gonna steal in me. I've learned it.
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: Ere Like there's so many different times in my career.
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: So even whatever the scoreboard may say, there's always that
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: chance until ever read zero zero. So I think in
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: assistance that we were in there where everybody had, we
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: didn't lose no hope throughout the whole game because you know,
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: I mean, everybody just knew, you know, I mean, just
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: never give up, Just keep on trying, just keep on
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: playing the next play, the next this, the next st
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: not to you know, sit there in festor on the
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: pass and what the scoreboard might say not not the
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: biggest supposed to plays that they had that game, But
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: I mean, just keep on working towards the next player,
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: you know, I mean, just well, we'll sit down and
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: see where is that when it says zero zero. Okay,
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: this may be different from the perspective where you were playing.
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: But I gotta ask this because Fan and want to know,
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: have you talked to him about it and was miles down?
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: Has it never come up between the guys. I think
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: since I've been here, well we've all been about the now,
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: in the future of the of the organization, you know
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: what I mean. And uh, I mean we kind of
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: bring up those moments because you know, you want to
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: feel those moments again that they had here getting to
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: the scampionship. But like I said, we all just we
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: kind of just looking towards the future and we all
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: just try helping you to get better at this point.
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: I mean, it might have came up, but we didn't
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: sit there and talk about it too. Now I got you.
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: We're moving on from you know what I mean, Like
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: we're trying to get the team back to where it
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: was then. So um, I don't know how much how
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: much good it's gonna be talking about that game when
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: we're trying to reach that game and the matters now,
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: it's just what we'll work we're put in. I don't
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: feel no doubt. One final question on these lines, and
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: I got a couple of uh more for you at
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: the end. How do you feel going into this season?
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: It's Week one? It's why you're on. You're a veteran guy,
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: You've seen success, You've seen things built. How do you
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: feel about the Jaguars route right now going into Week one? Man?
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: One thing I know about being in this league it's
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: it's a long season, you know what I'm saying. And
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: somebody learned earlier on in my career was that you
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: know the team ain't gonna be where you wanted to
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: be in September. But it needs to be getting better
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: every week still at that point. So um, that's all
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: we like I people are saying, that's all we trying
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: to do. We try to come in and take a
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: day by day I mean week by week and stack
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: them all up together and hopefully you know, we in
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: then every week would have dug. That's what we're working towards,
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: you know what I mean? So ums like we just
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: we just we're working for real. One final thing we
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: do on this we call it the ozone five five
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: quick questions will ask you and get you out of here.
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: If you weren't playing football, what sport would you play?
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: I've been professional fishing. Have you done any of it
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: in Jacksonville yet? Definitely? I've been out. I stay out

• 8:43
  Speaker 1: who's most responsible for you being here? Meaning in your life?
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: Who's your biggest influence to get you to the NFL?
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: I would say it weren't like one big thing. It's
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: like a lot of people as a mistakes, you know
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: what I'm saying. It was like I've been around some
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: people like I could. One person was with my cousin,
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: you know, growing up. He was real good at football,
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: and there's some things happened in his life. You know,
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: things happen to everybody's lives. But you know, I mean
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: when people make mistakes, you know, everybody could go through
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: and make that same mistake, or they could go through
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: and learn from those same mistakes. Him. I think I
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: learned from those mistakes and I just try to, you know,
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: get as far as I could, because a lot of
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: people have talent that didn't kind of you know, reaching
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: the peak of their talent, or that caught up with
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: some other thing out there. So you know, I just
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: that's a real big thing on me, just trying to
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: learn from other's mistakes so I don't end up, you know,
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: in the same condition or whatever it may do. Fantastic answer, Malcolm,
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: I'll get you out of here. I appreciate you doing
• 9:32

• 9:33
  Speaker 1: the road. And good luck to see all right. Thank you,
