00:00Yeah, I was watching, Zach and I were down when you were doing drills, and I noticed
00:21you have your bags, and everybody else when they're taking on double teams, you have your
00:25bags angled.
00:27And I was kind of curious why.
00:29Some guys don't use the bags, and some do.
00:31You're talking about like the chutes?
00:32Yeah, the chutes.
00:33And I was curious, is it just because you're trying to work on your alignment with that?
00:37Yeah, I'm kind of working on my alignment, and then it's just to keep my footwork going
00:41forward.
00:42Right, yeah.
00:43Everybody else seems to not have it, and then I'm like, oh, Osa's got it where he's trying
00:46to figure out, but the whole thing it looks like is they're trying to teach you guys to
00:52keep your feet on the ground.
00:53It's that quick, that ta-ta, with the footwork and stuff.
00:57Is that different from what maybe what you did in the old scheme, or is it something
01:02that it's always been that way?
01:04If you're a one-legged football player, you're not any good.
01:06Yeah, it's the same that it's always been.
01:09Just really, really emphasizing it now, you know what I mean, and working that, and then
01:13working some new alignments, kind of playing with tilting a little bit, stuff like that.
01:17Sure, yeah.
01:18Does that help you with, you start to tell me, does tilting help you, or does it help
01:21you with your reads?
01:23Like do you, or does it?
01:24Just more of the angle.
01:25More of the angle.
01:27It frees you up a little bit to grab, or to be able to punch the way you want to?
01:31It puts you on more of a direct angle to the alignment, especially from the alignment.
01:36Got you.
01:37It's Oso Adigizuwa here with you on 105.3, the fan.
01:40What's next for you?
01:41What's your goal for this year?
01:43Man, I'm just trying to have the best year I've had, you know what I mean, trying to
01:48have the best year of my career, because it's contract year for me, and the end goal is
01:53really, well not I guess the end goal, but like short-term goal for the next year is
01:57to be able to sign an extension with Dallas, so I want to put the best film that I have
02:02thus far on tape.
02:03I mean, the long-term goal has to be coming out of the NFL with generational wealth, right?
02:07Yeah, 1000%.
02:08Yeah, that's.
02:09Starts with signing a second deal, and then after that we'll check and see how my body
02:15feels.
02:16Yeah.
02:17Be about 30, you know what I mean?
02:19So after a second deal, see how my body feels, we good.
