00:00 >> Yeah, 100%, I love playing against the best, that's a competitor in me.
00:06 So you gotta be on your game and you can't take a playoff, that's what I learned.
00:10 >> Sounds like you like the physicality of this guy.
00:12 >> Of course, that's my game, that's how I play.
00:15 If you're not physical, you're not playing for-
00:17 >> I know Carl likes to mix it up.
00:19 >> Yeah, he does, I've seen him a couple times.
00:22 >> He's smiling, you have a little conversation, flight conversations?
00:25 >> Yeah, man, yeah, I mean, like I said, I'm a competitor, bro.
00:29 I love being physical, I love guys that embrace physicality as well, so
00:33 it makes the game fun.
00:34 >> Was it simple, like high quality swimming when you're all day or
00:37 was it a little more complicated?
00:38 >> Yeah, man, it's a little something like that, I'll let you ask him about it.
00:42 >> Tyler, what would it mean to you to play for a team like the Raiders and
00:45 coaching Julio Pierce?
00:46 >> Yeah, I had a meeting with them yesterday as well, went really well.
00:50 I think they're doing great things over there, especially Coach Pierce and
00:53 how he was able to take control of the team halfway through the season,
00:56 cuz that's hard for anybody.
00:59 Especially even a player coming into a new team halfway through the season.
01:03 So just seeing what they were able to do and
01:05 what he's been able to build halfway through the season was really awesome, so
01:08 that was great.
01:09 >> Was it formal or informal?
01:10 >> It was formal, yeah.
01:11 >> And what intrigued you most about the meeting?
01:15 >> I really liked how their defensive coordinator and
01:19 their philosophy on defense of being attacking and being aggressive.
01:23 They said they like my aggressive play style, so I think I would fit really well
01:27 there.
01:27 >> Tyler, what teams have you met with since you've been here?
01:31 >> Man, I've had a lot of interviews.
01:33 I really, I can't run through all of them.
01:35 I could look at my list, but I've had probably 15 interviews since I've been
01:39 here, formal interviews.
