• 0:30
  Speaker 2: So about about wanting to have gallons a day?
• 0:35
  Speaker 3: Where do you feel like the defense is progressed? Like
• 0:37
  Speaker 3: where you at your two weeks in the best? Just
• 0:39
  Speaker 3: how do you feel like you guys are progressing?
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm not happy about last week, to be honest
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: with you. The run game.
• 0:45
  Speaker 2: I mean that's how you make your bread and butter
• 0:48
  Speaker 2: in the in the NFL, making the offense one dimensional,
• 0:51
  Speaker 2: and you gotta do that by stopping the run. We're
• 0:54
  Speaker 2: making good progress, but the progress still has to be
• 0:58
  Speaker 2: the number one thing, which is no one runs on us.
• 1:01
  Speaker 2: Like that's like the most disrespectful thing, in my opinion,
• 1:04
  Speaker 2: is an offense running the ball on you. So we
• 1:06
  Speaker 2: gotta get that fixed, and it starts with me. I
• 1:08
  Speaker 2: got up my game in the in the run defense,
• 1:10
  Speaker 2: so I'm ready to do that this week.
• 1:12
  Speaker 4: Were there some specific things you saw, look at a
• 1:14
  Speaker 4: film or whatever that that you thought were you don't
• 1:17
  Speaker 4: think you need to get better out of the run
• 1:19
  Speaker 4: defense this week?
• 1:19
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's just details, hands, feet, eyes, It's just all
• 1:22
  Speaker 2: the little things that coach talks about. You know, as
• 1:25
  Speaker 2: much as coach is being humble, he puts it on himself.
• 1:27
  Speaker 2: I think we got to do our job too. So uh,
• 1:30
  Speaker 2: we did it.
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: We have.
• 1:31
  Speaker 2: We've had a good week of practice with our hands
• 1:34
  Speaker 2: and our eyes and our feet, but it's on us.
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: You know.
• 1:37
  Speaker 2: Coach can never call a perfect call, so we gotta
• 1:40
  Speaker 2: go out there and execute.
• 1:41
  Speaker 3: Can you tell us about the third and one stop
• 1:42
  Speaker 3: in overtime?
• 1:43
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean CP outside linebackers. Coach he put that
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: clip up throughout the week and he only showed it
• 1:50
  Speaker 2: one time, so I know if he shows something, it's
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: it's real. So I just trust trusted myself. The D
• 1:57
  Speaker 2: line made some great some great push up front, and
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: I made a big play for my team.
• 2:03
  Speaker 3: The clip piece showed was that a play.
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: You guys figured they would run and like a short
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: yardage must have Yeah, you gotta have it.
• 2:12
  Speaker 4: What what is the challenge in Miami's Miami's running game
• 2:15
  Speaker 4: and how they do it Withaniels and everything.
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: Yeah, speed, man, they got a lot of speed. I
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: got a lot of respect for those guys, you know,
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: coming from.
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: The AFC East. Uh speed speed.
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: So gods better get the better be drinking her water,
• 2:26
  Speaker 2: and better put the track shoes on cause you know
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: the uh, the speed. A lot of misdirections, it's just
• 2:31
  Speaker 2: trying to mess up your eyes. So if you stay
• 2:33
  Speaker 2: fundamentally sound, I think we'll be all right.
• 2:36
  Speaker 5: Have you just talk about eye discipline and you just
• 2:39
  Speaker 5: mentioned the misdirection with the Dolphins?
• 2:41
  Speaker 3: Uh what does it mean that good eye is discipline
• 2:43
  Speaker 3: as a linebacker?
• 2:44
  Speaker 2: Yeah, man, you can't play line You can't play a
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: linebacker in this leave you don't have a good eye
• 2:48
  Speaker 2: disciplined just starting just just reading and running past and
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: then you know Tyreek Hills and all this misdirection stuff.
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: So you gotta be you got, you gotta be on
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: all all you got dot your t's and dot your
• 2:59
  Speaker 2: eyes across your t so b playing linebacker and just
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: having great eyes is it just makes it makes it
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: a little bit more simpler than when you're fast and
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: you have all the all the physical tools.
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: I mean, I mean, that's a great linebacker in my opinion.
• 3:11
  Speaker 5: You mentioned you obviously played these guys a lot in
• 3:13
  Speaker 5: in Buffalo, and Leslie Fraser was there in Buffalo as well.
• 3:16
  Speaker 3: How much has he involved this week and helping you
• 3:18
  Speaker 3: guys get ready?
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: Yeah, Leslie Fraser's always involved. He's done. He's done a
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: great job.
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: Uh, I guess, uh with with coach Mike and uh
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: getting us ready to go. Uh. I, I don't know
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: too much that he does, but I know he's he's
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: up there with coach.
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: Anything coach puts out, I know he has his hands
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: on it.
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: So I'm ready to trust his processing and and get
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: this ball rolling Sunday. Is your front from your frontline,
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: defensive line, can you just talk about how they see
• 3:44
  Speaker 2: him be getting.
• 3:45
  Speaker 5: Better and then also their rotational uh where they rotate
• 3:49
  Speaker 5: and then that helps the team late.
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: In the game.
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: Oh yeah, you're talking about rotation as like keeping guys
• 3:54
  Speaker 2: like yeah, oh yeah, yeah, I mean rotating in three
• 3:59
  Speaker 2: hundred pounds. I mean, come on, now like a three
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: hundred pounders out there, you gotta have him fresh, you
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: gotta have him ready. And also like offensive line, you
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: got to have a fresh D D.
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: D lineman on you.
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: They're like, oh shoot, we gotta go again. So just
• 4:10
  Speaker 2: being fresh and those guys are getting better each day.
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: I mean, I'm like, you know, chemistry takes a long time,
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: you know, to build. So I'm starting, like to finally
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: figure out like how how Leo's gonna play certain stuff,
• 4:21
  Speaker 2: how j Re is gonna play certain stuff, and and
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: how Hank plays certain stuff. And you know, I think
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: in practice, we got that down this week, and I'm excited.
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: To keep building, building bricks and bricks with them.
• 4:31
  Speaker 3: The few in particular, just where you're seeing him progress
• 4:33
  Speaker 3: as a rookie.
• 4:35
  Speaker 2: I mean, he's he's I wouldn't think he was a
• 4:37
  Speaker 2: rookie how he's playing right now.
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: But this guy's a limit.
• 4:40
  Speaker 2: For that guy, people try to put a ceiling on him,
• 4:44
  Speaker 2: and I said, there's there's no ceiling on you. Man.
• 4:46
  Speaker 2: You can be as good as you want, but you
• 4:49
  Speaker 2: gotta keep stacking those days and forget about what you
• 4:51
  Speaker 2: did last week. It's about what you do next week.
• 4:53
  Speaker 2: You know what I'm saying, So I think highly of
• 4:55
  Speaker 2: that dude. He doesn't say much. He just goes out
• 4:57
  Speaker 2: there and works. You know, I watch him. U he
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: leads by action and he's a damn good football player.
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: Man, How does it change.
• 5:04
  Speaker 5: Things facing a guy like Skylar Thompson is only making
• 5:06
  Speaker 5: his third career start compared to a guy.
• 5:08
  Speaker 2: Like like to Uh yeah, I mean, I mean it's
• 5:12
  Speaker 2: the same system, you know, in my opinion, I mean
• 5:14
  Speaker 2: two is a great player. But coach that coach over
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: there has done a great job just with all the
• 5:19
  Speaker 2: motions and all all the all the alley plays and
• 5:23
  Speaker 2: all that the trick and stuff. I think they do
• 5:26
  Speaker 2: a good job as a system wise. But you know,
• 5:28
  Speaker 2: we're I'm gonna make sure defense gets on him early
• 5:32
  Speaker 2: and just just play some fundamentally sound football.
• 5:35
  Speaker 3: How did the children's hospitals that come together?
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: Yeah? Man, how did it come together?
• 5:44
  Speaker 2: I wanted to do something, make an impact with, you know,
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: just someone in Seattle, and that was the opportunity gaming.
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: I game.
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: My girlfriend knows if I'm gaming, you know, that's my
• 5:56
  Speaker 2: therapeutic time. That's my time to chill out. But it's
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: it's awesome to connect with them, you know, seeing their
• 6:04
  Speaker 2: smiles on their face, and it's a huge distraction for
• 6:06
  Speaker 2: them because you know, those kids have a lot going
• 6:09
  Speaker 2: on and just being with them, seeing them smile, seeing
• 6:13
  Speaker 2: them happy. One of them are talking crap to me.
• 6:16
  Speaker 2: You know, I had to give him, I had to
• 6:18
  Speaker 2: make sure he can't talk crap to me. But he
• 6:19
  Speaker 2: still beat me, so I got him next time. But
• 6:22
  Speaker 2: you know, it's just a blessing anytime we get to
• 6:24
  Speaker 2: go do uh community working and I I just don't
• 6:28
  Speaker 2: think that's community work to me, you know, I just
• 6:30
  Speaker 2: I just think that's just part of who I am
• 6:32
  Speaker 2: and what I want to do. So I can't wait
• 6:34
  Speaker 2: to keep building that relationship with that gaming wing over there.
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: Oh yeah, and thirty percent.
• 6:41
  Speaker 3: Of making a difference, what did that start? Was an
• 6:44
  Speaker 3: impact in your life or just your upbringing?
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: Yeah?
• 6:48
  Speaker 2: I mean where I come from, I don't have a
• 6:50
  Speaker 2: lot of people to look up to. Just to be
• 6:53
  Speaker 2: honest with you, and uh, I want to be that person,
• 6:56
  Speaker 2: you know, first person where I'm from. I guess to
• 7:00
  Speaker 2: get to the NFL, and I just wanna use my
• 7:02
  Speaker 2: platform to anyone. It doesn't matter if uh if if
• 7:06
  Speaker 2: you're on the side of the road and you're homeless ride.
• 7:08
  Speaker 2: I just you know, passing the homeless guy.
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: I can't do it. I always have to give him something. Uh.
• 7:12
  Speaker 2: So uh, I don't know, I just I don't know.
• 7:14
  Speaker 2: It's just just what I like to do. What God,
• 7:16
  Speaker 2: how God made me?
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: So?
• 7:18
  Speaker 3: Uh?
• 7:19

• 7:24
  Speaker 1: Yeah? Do they like T yeah? T T dot? Yeah?
• 7:28
  Speaker 3: Where'd they come from? Man?
• 7:30
  Speaker 2: My boys in middle school on high and like it
• 7:32
  Speaker 2: started in middle school. They they used to make like
• 7:34
  Speaker 2: it's called like they just make fun of my last name,
• 7:36
  Speaker 2: Like they say T dot instead of T dot.
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: It used to make me mad cause it's like it's
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: t dot. But now that if someone doesn't say t
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: dot it makes me mad. So uh yeah, that that's
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: my nickname.
• 7:46
  Speaker 2: I got from Devonte Walker and one of my uh
• 7:48
  Speaker 2: middle school friends, and it stuck with me ever since.
• 7:52
  Speaker 3: Ey rel Uh.
• 7:52
  Speaker 5: Julian Love said after the last game, but the defense
• 7:55
  Speaker 5: was a little slow to start, a little sluggish energy wise.
• 7:58
  Speaker 3: Is that something you guys are talking to it to
• 8:00
  Speaker 3: each other back in this week?
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that's the first thing Mike put up on the board.
• 8:04
  Speaker 2: Uh.
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: Start of the week. Uh, start fast.
• 8:06
  Speaker 2: So I mean if with the defense we have, when
• 8:08
  Speaker 2: we start fast, I mean a sky's the limit, no
• 8:10
  Speaker 2: one can stop us. So we we really have to
• 8:12
  Speaker 2: implement that, uh throughout every day. I mean even when
• 8:15
  Speaker 2: you wake up, start fast. Like if you're gonna make
• 8:18
  Speaker 2: make oat meal in the morning, go go make it fast.
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying.
• 8:20
  Speaker 2: It's just that's just the emphasis for this week, and
• 8:22
  Speaker 2: I I think we're doing it pretty well.
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: Good good, Thank you kids.
• 8:30
  Speaker 2: Soon come on now, I'm winning one ahead.
