 You probably learned a whole bunch in your rookie year, but as you kind of reflected back on it to start this off-season, what did you think about it, and maybe how much are you going to help you moving forward? Yeah, I feel like, obviously, it was a learning experience. And my whole goal going into my rookie year was to be a sponge and absorb as much as I could, like multiple positions, the defense, checking out the guys on the team who've had success and seeing what they do. I feel like I accomplished that. Yeah? You're a lot of young players on dysfunctional teams that deal with a ton of turnover and new coaches every year. You're going to have virtually all the same starters, the same coordinator. How much is that going to help your development, that consistency? Yeah, I think so. I mean, it's something to be said. Going into year two, like, you know the defense. Like, I was watching film of my past games, and I was like, what are you doing? Like, now I know, and there's also something to be said about taking time off and really, like, letting what you learn, like, really, like, taking time off, it's like you absorb it in your unconscious even more. So I think it's just with time. Everything is better with time. Part of your game, do you think you need to work on the most? And how have you maybe incorporated that into your off season at this point? Yeah, I probably say, like, my press coverage, going from college to the NFL is different. College, you know, we played a different technique. I got here and came here a little beat up. So I wasn't able to work on that before the season. You know, now what I've been doing is just kind of like, right now I'm rehabbing and just watching film. And what I'm not doing physically, I'm able to do mentally. Watching different nickels in the league. Sorry, how hard was it watching the Bengals playing the Super Bowl? It wasn't that tough, you know what I mean? They deserve to be there. It stung a couple of days after our game, of course. Yeah. How about your season of a physical game in college? When you got a day or two removed, like, how did you feel physically? Was there a point where you thought, wow, I'm tired? Yeah, I think there's a lot of stuff that I only play four games in college. So going from four games to 20 games, if you include preseason, like, your body does start to break down, and you just need to kind of, like, develop a rhythm and get in routine. And there's a lot of stuff, like, you know, people play with injury, you know? I think it's probably more common than you think. And it's just part of the game. So it's like, once when you're limited physically, you got to, like, turn up everything, you know, all the intangibles. I just said, Elijah, you only got to play those four games year last year. Sort of in that late, Caleb Farley hadn't played a whole lot the last couple years. How important is it to him to maybe get a full, you know, as full as he can off-season in order to be ready for next season? You'll have to ask him. I'll let him speak on it. But, you know, I know him. We know each other well. And we spent a lot of time together. You know, since he was out, you know, since he couldn't play last year, then he did what he could, rehabbing and watching film and whatnot. Should you benefit from a complete off-season? Last year, you're getting rid of pro-days, visits, drafted to try to get settled in here now. It's all about football and rehab, as you just said. Yeah. Studying opponents. I mean, how much should you benefit from having a full off-season? Yeah, I think, you know, first and foremost, there's something to be said about, like, stepping away from the game. I got married, had a little honeymoon. And that time is key because it allows you to, like, you know, reset. And I think a guy like me is difficult to kind of, like, step away from the game, because I love it so much for that long. But by the time I get immersed back into it, it's like I'm bursting at the seams to kind of just, like, go all the way in every aspect of the game. When did you get married? Where'd you go on your honeymoon and how's the married life going? A month ago. We went to St. Lucia, married life was the same as before. We'll see, you know, so. During the season then? Or now before the season. Yeah, and she playing the whole thing. I showed up, I didn't know what was happening out there. I showed up and everything was amazing. And you see so much more talent come into the AOC, like Russell Wilson, Vonte Adams, et cetera. What are your thoughts on how teams are starting to really stockpile their offense because you're about to be charged with stopping them? I mean, I think it's a good challenge. I mean, the nature of the game is just like, at the end of the day, like, we're competitors. You know, I don't think it matters too much, like, who's in front of us? Like, you got to go out there and compete. You know, obviously, I think everyone in this league is good, you know. Some people are great, some people are elite. But at the end of the day, it's me versus the guy in front of me. You learned much from first year. Do you want to be any different than you were last year? I mean, did you learn something last year that says I need to be this? Yeah, I feel like I kind of talked about being a sponge like my rookie here. Like, I set out to be a sponge and soak up everything because I kind of wanted to, like, you know, obviously I wanted to make the biggest impact I could, but I knew, like, OK, my career is going to be longer than a year. Like, I want to set the foundation for the rest of my career. And I think part of, like, kind of taking everything in, it was like, in a way, I was a little passive because I was observing other people. I wasn't necessarily, like, going out there and, like, putting my stamp on the game. So this year now that I kind of, you know, know the environment, I'm used to the NFL. That's when I can go out there and do what I do. From Buster's screen last year, and were you happy to see the Titans? Yeah, Buster, I mean, that did help me out a lot. And he came in the Patriots week, just a little stuff, how to watch film. Like, he, you know, I was getting a player's perspective and someone who's been playing the position for a long time. Like, he gave me little tidbits.
