 I feel like at this time of the year, it probably doesn't. I feel like a period. I mean, with the haircut, my body feel good. Been doing really great with my diet and everything. So I feel fast, feel great, excited to be out here with the guys. How important is that as you get on to your career to do the stuff you need to do in the off season in terms of diet and training, get your sleep and all that? Yeah, I just feel like, I wouldn't necessarily say as the older I get, I feel like the more wisdom I have now. I just know you got to eat right, try to eat right year round. My whole entire family tries to eat right now. I got kids too, so we try to feed them as good as possible. But just like I said, taking care of your body, doing all the rehab stuff. Not just in the building, but outside the building as well. I'm always trying to take care of my body year round. That just my mentality. Always staying in it. Not pretty much letting my mind get too far away from bar. I'm always locked in a bar. Even if I'm not in the building, watching film, taking care of my body, doing all the little things. Can you mention the diet? No, you're good. I know what you meant. I just wanted to put that out there. You mentioned the diet. Are there significant changes that you've made? Because you look more lean than me. Yeah, I mean, trust me, it's funny. I was, you know, sometimes, you know, your iPhone or in the picture, sometimes they get like flashback or throwback pictures or whatever. I seen an old picture of me in 2017 taking a picture after it gave my dad. And I just felt like I had a gut in there. And I wasn't, I don't feel like I was heavy or nothing like that. But I was just like, my body looks so much different now. And I think a lot of that contribute to just having a better diet, eating more clean, not eating a whole lot of fast food. Just like you said, just standing, standing to my body all the time. And I feel like it helps on the field as well, for sure. You're still meat in your diet? Yeah, not still eat meat, but not a lot of red meat. You know, every now and again, if me and my wife go to dinner, we might get steak or whatever. But mainly fish, chicken sometimes, a lot of vegetables, not a lot of carbs that night. Honestly, I'm kind of doing like an intermittent fasting type deal where I don't really eat food until like 11 o'clock in the last middle of the day, at least stops at like 7, 7.30. In the morning, I'm going to eat light berries and stuff like that. I don't know, it just keeps me light. And honestly, it helps me recover more overnight. Just a lot of different benefits and stuff like that. Your own business to take care of. But how much do you communicate with the guys on the other side? As I'm kind of referring to trailing a rookie kind of coming in the league. Do you give them pointers? Do you try to talk him through some things? What's things like with him? Yeah, I mean, being my first day back out here doing OTAs, practicing, actually getting some working with those guys. Haven't had a lot of communication with them just yet. But I think as the days go along and, you know, as he's running routes and things like that, I may give him some pointers. Hey, if you do this a little bit, you might be able to get the DB to bite or get open. Same thing with Malik. Any type of nods that I have, I'm going to try to share with the guys. Same thing, especially with some of the younger DBs, just trying to make sure we all communicate and because at the end of the day, we're all working towards one goal. What are your impressions of trailing? Like I said, I mean, I've only been out here one day, but I mean, he's big. Looks like a big target. Excited to see, you know, how the offense is going to use him in different ways. I know he's going to be, you know, a deep-thread guy. He's going to be working underneath, working over the middle. So just excited to see a guy like him step into that role of, you know, I wouldn't say necessarily being a number one receiver right now, but he's definitely, I feel like he's going to have to earn it. But like I said, I'm excited to see him. Excited for all the rookies, man. And more importantly, I'm more excited about some of the younger guys that we have on defense. Roger, Theo and those guys continue to see those guys improve and get better. Roger mentioned you as an influence to him early on, just having you in the building and the mentorship that you've had on him. What have you really been preaching to him and what have you seen from him in these days? Well, first, I think it's just important for those guys to see me in meetings doing little things. Like, I think for young guys, it's always good to see a veteran out there with his notebook out, taking down notes and things like that so they can kind of see from an older guy who's been doing it for a while, see how he does it every single day, taking care of my body, doing things like that. But just on the field, especially for young guys, man, this defense is really complex. So I'm always trying to communicate with those guys, trying to preach to them little pointers and stuff like that because during OTAs, there's a lot of installs. So for some of these guys who's just coming in, maybe only been for a week or two, as we put in more defense, the heads get to spin a little bit. So I'm always trying to give them pointers that say, hey, calm down. They should communicate and get this call out, do this, do that. And like I said, they're gonna continue to get better and better and better. In trying to get this defense to take another step, how much of it is trying to individually improve, set some goals and how good might this defense or do you all hope at least to be this season? Yeah, well, especially during OTAs, man, it's always about individual improvement, for sure. Me, myself, personally, I'm always trying to get better every single day. Being my first day back out here, have some things I gotta work on and I'll make sure I come back out here on Friday, which I think have a better day. So it's all about steady improvement and just letting the guys know, like, hey, it's not gonna be perfect. No day is gonna be perfect. No play is gonna be perfect, but making sure we are here trying to finish, showing great effort, those type of things we can't coach. But obviously, once we get everybody in here, all the vets in here, it's definitely about just preaching, man, making sure that we're having that, I won't say continuity, but just a cohesiveness with all the guys, whether it's the rush, the pass rush and the DBs on the back end. So we're just trying to get better and guys are still learning. So that's what OTAs, in my opinion, is more about learning, learning the scheme and as we continue to learn and get better with that, I think the full picture of what the defense will look like. I'm not gonna necessarily put any great expectations, even though I said that, you know, we're trying to be the number one defense, but as of right now, which is mainly just about learning, trying to make sure we're getting everybody together to learn the schemes. As a guy who's been in this system for several years now, what can a guy like you still learn as part of this OTA process? Everything. Me personally, I'm a guy. I like to have reps. I like to get in reps. It's not necessarily about feeling like I'm getting behind or nothing like that, but I wanna be out here. I love playing ball. I wanna be out here playing ball with the guys. And then, like you said, just the mentorship of the younger guy, seeing the vet out here, working hard, busting his behind. And I'm still learning. I mean, I don't think there's ever gonna be a time as I'm playing this league that I'm not gonna learn. Getting better, doing little small things, adding little things to my game, trying to play the little game with Ryan Tannehill and things like that. So I'm always trying to learn, always trying to get better. In terms of your dodging and conditioning and all that, is your weight different now than what it was when you first came in the league? Yeah, definitely. I think when I first came in the league, man, I was probably like 215 or something like that. I'm not that much smaller. I'm probably like 211, 210, but it's just, it's a way different 210, 211. Like I said, I definitely feel more slim. I feel faster. And obviously playing last year, playing at the higher level, I kind of felt that difference between, if I have a great week on my diet, I'm eating right. I feel great during the game. I feel light. I feel fast. And that's how I wanna feel 24 seven. And being a younger player, you don't really understand that. Cause you kind of just, just getting introduced to these type of things. So as I'm getting older, I definitely feel being lighter, being faster. That's the name of the game. In terms of particular ball skills, Kevin, the two rookies, McCreary and Theo, what do you like about what you've seen? Like I said, I see him out there competing, playing hard. I know it was a play out there. We had man to man, Hooper ran a great route on Theo. Is trying to explain to him different, different tendencies between different tight ends. I know Hooper has a lot of great rock craft. He's a guy who was, you know, in Atlanta in Cleveland, really good safety valve finding holes in the zone, but in also having good rock craft at the top of his routes. Just trying to explain to him, he might give you half a different things like that. Just stay patient. Know where your leverage is. Know where your help is and things like that. So these guys need those type of plays, need those reps so they can understand how to get better and be better next time. Who cooks at your house? Are you or Clark? Who's usually faking the meals? No, I have a chef, Chef Cleveland. He's not like, I don't have him at my house 24 seven, nothing like that. But he usually come early in the week, cook all the meals and he kind of labels everything. So during the season, I'm really mainly only dinner time because I'm in the facility for so long. But during times like this, he cooks lunch, dinner and all those things, like I said, for the entire family. So just trying to eat better. When you know better, you do better. You're cheating, what are you eating? Man. The thing about me, man, I'm a big snack guy, especially at night. I think that's the biggest thing for me while I try to cut my meals off at seven, seven, three. Which is hard sometimes, especially if during the off season, stay up a little bit later. You don't got to get up early in the morning. It's real easy to go down there and grab some cookies, some ice cream or something like that. So I think if I can keep steady with, like you said, cutting my meals off at seven, 30. You know, I wake up in the morning pretty hungry. That's what I want. Asian issues to come back, to have the defense play so well and you individually to get back to your all pro status. Yeah, man, I honestly truly believe that when the defense plays better, obviously you have to have individual players playing well. But when we have the defense play, how we play a plan together, guys are going to have great stats. And I was one of those guys that had a great year. Like I said, I talk about the preparation, my diet and all those things with watching film. I was really great last year. But like I said, I really felt like even in 2020, the defense not having a great year. Nobody really had a great year that year and like I said, vice versa. So I think it's all about team balls, all about playing together because you know, on third downs, if the pass isn't good, the quarterback has a lot of time. It's hard to cover for five, seven seconds or whatever it may be. But when the pass versus working well on the back end, we can kind of play a little bit more aggressive knowing that the quarterback has to get the ball out. So it's all about playing together. So that's why I'm constantly always preaching to the guys is that hey, we have to be playing together. It all has to come together. It's not just about the back end playing well or the front, front seven playing well. It has to be all together because it's a defense when we're all playing well, you know, guys get paid and guys have great stats. So that's definitely gonna be the plan this year.
