We might have a mad face. I'm just a happy face with Serious, I just had to get back to that to that point. Um, and I'm there now. I'm back Is that what did it for you in San Francisco? Yeah, letting go letting go letting go expectations letting go stop reading Twitter stop reading social media reading up comments and Everything it was that I just had to let that go just live life football is what I do It's not me. So leave football at the facility when I get home home is home Um, and that would change that would change that would change the free it was just the mental aspect everything It wasn't the physical or anything like that or me not able to do that do that It was just the mental aspect of it were there elements when you went to San Francisco and played under Chris Couture Chris Couture who played here for Jim Washburn and is now kind of the Jim Washburn in the league Your position coach were there things that he taught you that he asked you to do where you could fully harness all of this Yeah, Chris help me out with not caring a lot because That would that's that's what Chris that what Chris do Chris bring in talented guys who Maybe other teams don't think he's as talented or looking at numbers and not film per se And Chris bring those guys in and it's not just me that has done it's plenty of guys And it's a track record of that where guys come in Play their butts off and then go on and continue their career in a positive way And it's just Chris Chris is the same guy every day.

Yeah, don't smile like that. I Don't think we've blocked you yet So what was but it wasn't just us you got going crazy good in December and then into the playoffs. What was that? San Fran Learning in San Fran being in the lead, you know, November December is meaningful football Players start to separate they self in November December because we understand as players it's playoff time It's different than regular season playoffs is we trying to get to the Super Bowl That's what every team dream and aspiration in this league is to get to the Super Bowl But November December is what sets you up to make it to the playoffs or have that the momentum Going into the playoffs, but I mean last year for Jacksonville at the and we played you December 11th And then we saw you in January and then in the two playoff game. I mean, what you were almost unblockable totally Was there something technique wise or something that you had tapped into where you just fresh? How did I mean that was remarkable? It was just um Being like I said, I'm always back to San Fran because I learned so much there. It's like we got Fred Warner You got Nick Bosa Eric Armstead. You had Jimmy Ward. You had all these guys who been playing playoff football Right. I never played a playoff football game before being in San Fran. So you carried that over carried it over So they tell you It don't matter what you did early on in the season November December is where you separate yourself so we can make it to the playoffs You know if you put together a whole year like that Who knows the numbers that's and that's are you ready to do that? I am I am that's why I came to Tennessee. It was an opportunity for me to come in and play as a starting Have a starting role.
