00:00You turned into my favorite player last year, not just because the awesome training camp

00:19interview, but one of the criticisms of this team from Michael Irvin and others is just

00:24like the lack of dog.

00:26And I think you're a dog.

00:28You see it out there on the field with the nastiness and the attitude.

00:33Who else, who else would you put in the dog category?

00:36If you agree, even with what I'm saying, who else out here has that in them that you see

00:40on the field?

00:41Yeah, I think, uh, for one, uh, Tyler Smith, um, you know, I think he's just got grown

00:48man strength and, you know, he might not be super vocal about it or, you know, rah, rah

00:53about it, but he's going to throw you and he's going to make you feel it.

00:57And I think that's a big, a big thing.

00:59And then defensive wise, I think, uh, you know, Dono, um, you always, you know, offseason

01:05you go around, you talk to other teams and you talk to some of the other tight ends and

01:09stuff like that.

01:10And they're like, man, who's six and like their eyes get all big.

01:13And I'm like, yeah, exactly.

01:15Uh, so, I mean, there's a lot of fight in him and, um, you know, you're always going

01:20to get a good battle when you're going to get them.

01:22When it comes to, you know, toughness, physicality, edge, those sorts of things, like, like we

01:27feel like we've seen that and you like Sean was just talking about, do you feel like that's

01:31something that you've always naturally had or did you like come into that since you've

01:34been in the NFL?

01:35Like, do you think guys can come into that sort of a demeanor that can develop that over

01:39time?

01:40For sure.

01:41For sure.

01:42I think my rookie season, I didn't, I wouldn't say I didn't have any of it, but it definitely

01:44wasn't as, you know, out there and it wasn't, you know, every play and it wasn't, you know,

01:49I'm going to protect my guys.

01:50Um, it was sort of, you know, I want to get my feet under me kind of thing.

01:54And then you get to that point where it's just like, all right, it's, this is football.

01:57Like, you know what I mean?

01:58Let's, you're not yourself.

01:59You're not playing your best ball unless you're you.

02:02And that's when I'm playing my best ball is, you know, when I'm having fun with my boys

02:06and we're going to war against the other team and it's, it's, you know, it's us versus them.

02:10So.
