  Speaker 2: at the end of the day, what drives me to
• 1:07
  Speaker 2: be great is you know, just proving it to myself.
• 1:09

• 1:12

  Speaker 1: What specifically did you do maybe this offseason the last
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: four or five six.

  Speaker 2: Months, just the little things. Pilate's staying in the weight room,
• 1:32
  Speaker 2: running on the track, doing dB drills, you know, all
• 1:36
  Speaker 2: those little things, and I think that's that's what's helped

  Speaker 2: me to most.
• 1:41
  Speaker 3: Of this defense.
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: Last year Tyson was twenty eighth in the league and

  Speaker 1: past defense, I don't know if you look at the rankings,
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: all that stuff good and takeaways though opportunistic defense last year,

  Speaker 1: So as a defense overall, what is the next step?
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: How do you guys improve from some of those numbers
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: last year?

  Speaker 3: Uh? Start faster?
• 2:04
  Speaker 2: I think last year we had a little slow start.
• 2:08
  Speaker 2: I think we were like two and seven. Then we
• 2:10
  Speaker 2: started to pick it up. So you know, the emphasis
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: this year is you know, while wait, you know why
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: night start where we left off, So that that's the
• 2:17

• 2:20
  Speaker 2: were last year, last year's in the past, New year
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: NW Jaguars. So but we got the same mindset, so
• 2:27
  Speaker 2: you know, we just you know, look back on what
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: we made, mistakes on, learn from it, and you know,
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: improve it.

  Speaker 1: You already had to face receiving corps of last year
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: and you add readily to the mix. So obviously you've
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: gone up against big time receivers in the NFL before,
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: but having him on your team on the other side,
• 3:14
