the biggest difference you're seeing?
Speaker 1 (00:08):
Uh?
Speaker 2 (00:08):
Last year?
Speaker 1 (00:09):
Biggest difference is just the hunger in this group. I like,
you know, Uh, we all striving to be better and
better every day. That's what That's what you could just
ask for from a good defense. So we just putting
the work in and let our chips fall during the season. Oh,
it's been tough, but you know, it's the grind dog
days of the summer. If you love football, you gonna love.
Speaker 2 (00:30):
Being out here.
Speaker 1 (00:31):
That's that's what they preached to us, and that's what
we try to preach to the team.
Speaker 2 (00:35):
As someone who worked under coach Broc last year and
d or in the system from them, how do you
help your new teammates adjusted to the system. Uh.
Speaker 1 (00:43):
My biggest part was just becoming a better leader for
the DV group this year. So I've been working on
that and just taking our group to the next level,
making those certain players that we could have made last
year that we left out there.
Speaker 2 (00:55):
And so that's that's just been the biggest team kind
of opened your gun from Toronto.
Speaker 1 (01:01):
Right, that's my dog. The biggest thing I learned fromhim
is being more vocal. Like I said, I was working
on my leadership this year, So being more vocal this year,
that's that's the main focus for me.
Speaker 2 (01:10):
So you have the system in place, you know what
it's like. And Matt has mentioned that he is thrown
a lot at you this year.
Speaker 1 (01:16):
It's as much of a mental brand a it's been
physical no most death. But it's like I said, it
just goes back to the dall day summer. We wo
Tyson coach Tyson Brown, our strength staff every day and
that's what they build us for.
Speaker 2 (01:27):
So we can come out here and do what we do.
How much stronger are you from last season? A lot
strong shout out to Coach Brown? Can you get a
gauge on how this defense is gonna perform at this point?
Is that something that I mean, it's something that comes along.
Speaker 1 (01:42):
But I just know we're gonna be fast, flying to
the ball and very physical. That's that's one thing and
everything we always peat.

good year. Did you find it tough every day going
out against the same offense, you know, the same dude

like this team has a good competitive culture. That's what
we really rely on.
