00:06 Before the playoffs, I should be able to get some games in, so yeah.
00:09 >> And how important is that, just to get some games before the games?
00:11 >> Yeah, it's extremely important, just so I can get my feet under me,
00:14 get a couple games before.
00:16 The elevation of the play is even more, it's even higher in the playoffs.
00:19 I know a lot of guys here probably haven't been in too many games, but
00:23 the guys that have been, they've been telling me,
00:25 playoff games are a whole different animal.
00:27 So gotta be able to elevate your game.
00:30 So the first time I went down there on kickoff, I came down and
00:33 I kinda gave him a good little shot.
00:34 He fell back, and this player, I can't remember his name, but
00:38 he's been in the league for about 12 years.
00:40 Very good special teams player, hard-nosed guy.
00:43 So I knew he wasn't gonna just be like, this guy, he hit me hard,
00:47 you know what I'm saying?
00:48 So next play down, ran down, and kinda was focused a little bit more on my job,
00:52 setting the edge.
00:53 And he was thinking about that last hit, and he came full fledged, and
00:57 knocked me forward.
00:58 And so foot got stuck in the ground and fell over.
01:03 And so, yeah.
01:04 So like I said, I feel like I'm an extremely explosive player.
01:07 I like to say I'm a game changer.
01:09 And so I feel like that's really what I can help with,
01:11 especially in the pass rushes, sacks, forced fumbles, all types of things,
01:16 even interceptions.
01:17 And so things like that that can change the game, change the momentum,
01:22 and that's really all I'm about.
