 What is up you guys what is going on and welcome back to another video welcome back to another reaction video I've got one more in me for this morning. His name is Demario Davis. He's a linebacker for the new Orleans Saints This video came out Approximately five months ago. Yes, I'm late, but it's better to be late than to never get there at all And guys when I say I'm gonna do something I do it this list This list is is my main project for this YouTube channel right now, and I'm enjoying it So all I can say is I hope you guys are too Wherever you are in the world, let me know down in the comment section below man in this video Let me know where you're tuning in from what time it is what city what country and Let's see that interests me. Okay. I'm in New Zealand right now Do we have any other Kiwis? Do we have many New Zealanders or Australians watching these videos fucking let me know down in the comment section below anyways guys With all that being said, I think it's time to check out This 67th best player in the league Mario Davis. Let's go Well, yeah, um, let me listen The Mario David from the same he another do this as a dog He just one of them, you know, I know every time I'm playing it's gonna be be a bloodbath Yeah, man, I believe him to I actually do When you want to get a Mike linebacker to run your defense you look for a DeMario Davis type Yeah, that ain't see pain But I tell you what I tell you what guys I tell you fucking what You stop this video right now. You put a pair of dark glasses on his face right now That is T-Pain. I'm not gonna lie He's a beast man. He's fast. He's physical You know he's smart that was against delvin cook They know they can't get to the edge He has leadership I Fuck it is T-Pain. It's his brother. Let's not you soul. He's just everything you want from a Mike linebacker In 2019 DeMario Davis led the Saints with 111 Yeah, now it was named first team all pro Oh, he goes in hard man. He goes in. Well, there is no shit tackles. Okay. He he's driving his shoulder I mean with the helmet to helmet contact. I hate it, but it's a part of the game But he's using his shoulder using your shoulder effectively is wrapping them up. I mean that tackle right there is Literally textbook For a game of football, you know The only thing you could have done with that is to put his head on the opposite side and go in with his left shoulder But if his right shoulder is his most dominant shoulder Then more times than not he's probably gonna drive with that one In fact, let's check which shoulder he did drive with in each of these tackles Check he's just everything you want from a Mike linebacker. Does he have a preferred side? That was just straight on That's using his right shoulder DeMario Davis led the Saints with Left shoulder left shoulder when he probably could have and should have used his right so I've now seen both shoulders. I feel like no there is no Discrepancies there. Let's continue 111 tackles and was named first team all pro Man if you're getting 111 tackles, you're gonna be tackling on both shoulders really aren't you? Yeah, that was that was The only reason I say that was because Yeah, let's watch that one go You go and hurdle someone just as you coming down you get a shoulder economy Greg a shoulder strike up in your face Damn son He can cover backs or tight ends So, yeah, the only reason why I was mentioning the different shoulders is the fact that I know It doesn't matter how solid you look there is got to be one shoulder that just feels slightly different It's like kicking a ball, right? It's like throwing a ball. You know what I mean? so for a tackle to literally Have that technique and that power down for both shoulders to literally see someone in front of you Doesn't matter whether they're running right or left. That doesn't affect the way that you go on for the tackle That would make a fantastic linebacker, right? He also had 12 passes defenced tying Lou Keekley for the NFL lead among linebackers Tomorrow Davis was all over that one physical in the run game Taken down tomorrow But the way that he gets through there Like he's just mentioning, you know the way that he he can blitz he can get past people basically so I want to know I'll be doing him a disservice if I didn't look up his stats because he has impressed me with his quickness No doubt He's impressed me with his tackles too so he is 31 years of age. He's no spring chicken. He got picked up in 2012 by the Jets He's been to the Browns back to the Jets and now he's at the Saints he was a first team all pro last year and uh Well, we're looking at his stats. He's six foot two hundred and seven kgs a linebacker. Remember 452 from 40-yard dash. You've got a six foot two 240 pound four five 40-yard dasher Blitzing the quarterback. Okay. Who's going to stop him? Who is going to stop him someone with sheer size? Certainly not someone who's going to be quicker than that That's pretty fucking quick. 38 and a half vertical jump 10 foot 4 on the broad jump What 32 reps on the bench? Uh 32 reps on the bench. Okay. All right Okay, DiMario Davis third round 2012 draft. He was the 10th linebacker drafted in 2012 the 10th I wonder how many of those are still in the league. I'm not going to find out But if you guys want to find out and let me know down in the comment section, that would be appreciated Let me see here September 12th 2020 he signed a three-year 27 million dollar extension with the Saints He earned that clearly the year before with his performance and he got paid once again. So that's That's a win-win Yeah, that's 452 Look at this You got that mindset Wouldn't mind actually watching a game With DiMario Davis Watch, you know, watching him quite closely throughout the game and just seeing what other teams do to try and stop him from From, you know, fucking up the play What do they do? Who do they put on him and how do they try and stop him? You're tired of everything you don't get Hmm Yeah, sometimes man, when you're feeling like that you're feeling this adrenaline honestly you feel You've got shivers down your spine, right And you look up to the sky and you put your hands up like that. It's like This is it. This is the feeling this is This is life. This is emotion, you know I'm feeling it right now I'm feeling it right now to be honest I feel it Pretty much every time I go for a run guys a certain song will come on And uh, it'll make me feel some kind of way and I'm gonna stop that now And um, I will run along with my hands outstretched like that palms up eyes up Sometimes I may be crying sometimes I might not be but it's the feeling and it's adrenaline and I feel that that that That burst of um of energy Where is it coming from? It's not coming from fuel. It's not coming from food It's coming from your brain It is literally coming from your brain all of that sensation that you feel during that moment is coming from here and what you what you see and what you feel So, uh, that that is why the mind and The mindset that you're in Day to day is so so so important And where you wake up and what your environment is like Around the place that you wake up is so so so important And before I left to come on the road uh My environment around when I woke up was terrible It was not conducive to my life to my attitude to my goals my dreams my ambitions It just wasn't And I had to leave This is my dad's house. I'm talking about it's just it's not working anymore. We're totally totally different people I actually thought we were really similar and we are in certain ways. We've got genetics. Okay. I've got my dad's genes As I get older There's going to be certain things that come out in me that i'm going to be like fuck man That is straight up my dad, but right now he's 65. I'm 30 The differences are there And unfortunately right now the differences are just too much. So for now I'm on my own I'm in queen's town I've moved here. I have literally I think I've moved here. I honestly think I have You know up to this point. I didn't really know yesterday. I decided to join a gym. It's a fight gym It's an MMA um boxing slash kickboxing moitai jujitsu Gym plus it's got the weights there. So it is like a hub. It's called a fitness facility plus fight gym And I cannot wait to get stuck in so there's one thing. There is one final thing In the year 2020 that I wanted to achieve Did the marathon did the bodybuilding did the rugby Did the van life, you know what I mean? I've played basketball here. I've played golf here I went snowboarding this year One thing I haven't done is surfing but Regardless of that there is one one thing that's that's that's stayed consistent throughout this time In my brain as a goal as a challenge and that is to train properly As a kickboxer Just to give it my all put my all into it for at least a couple of months See what kind of potential I have see if I really enjoy it And let the cards fall where they may you know martial arts is A passion of mine. I'm not gonna lie. It's it's it's as it's as much of a sporting passion as a fan for me now Um as rugby and that's saying something, you know, I like rugby American football and mixed martial arts As a fan equally And that's saying something it really is So for me as an athlete at age 30 if I'm going to enjoy watching something I have to try it myself. It doesn't matter if I'm shit. It doesn't matter if I walk in and I walk out half an hour later I have to try it myself And believe it or not, I did actually try it this year. I went to Thailand. I sometimes forget this It seems like it was a lifetime ago. February this year. I was in Thailand I did two weeks at Tiger Muay Thai two and a half weeks And I fucking loved it and it's easy to forget how you feel in certain moments certain situations, but You know even just thinking about it now. I I had the most fun In some of those Muay Thai classes that I have ever had ever You know no fitness no h no no high intensity fitness class No gym workout with a friend no gamer rugby You know no Certainly no bodybuilding show. Have I ever enjoyed more so than That it's for a guy like this this experience I I run through my head quite a lot actually because it reminds me of of how this was this was actually the true This was the first inkling guys of feeling free true freedom And I I put myself in that situation. I did it. I made it happen because I was so desperate at the time I needed freedom. I needed to feel free. I needed to do something. I've always wanted to do you think about something every day It's not going to go away. You know you've got to do it. You've got to live without regrets within reason everything costs money Okay, if you've got certain things in life that you want to do Okay And if you don't do them if you don't get them done you know you're going to regret it But you need money to make them happen. Well put a plan in place save for six months That's what I did. I saved for fucking seven years, bro Now i'm living on the road on my savings because I can it's not going to last forever And so the one moment that I remember Well, it was every morning actually, but I got up at 750 right in thailand. I'd go downstairs the reception I I I was staying in a hotel probably two k's away Two minutes on a scooter. I got my scooter, right? It's a free espresso machine down in the reception So I'd get my stuff on I'd pack my bag. I'd go down to reception say hello to the receptionist I'd have three shots of coffee within about a minute. She'd think I'm an absolute nutter I'd say see you later. I'm going to go and train 7.55 in the morning. I'd go outside. It's fucking hot Jump on my scooter two minutes. I'm down at tiger moitai. Okay, this place that I'd seen on on youtube and on Throughout the ufc Years, you know, I'd seen it. I'd seen it and I'd be like I fucking want to get there I'm gonna get there and I did and in february. I was there and at eight o'clock each morning I was buzzing on coffee. There were different people in the class every single day. This was before covid You know, none of the shit was going on And it was it was a vibe man. It was a real vibe and I fucking loved it and I said to myself i'm gonna be back here Soon sooner rather than later and it seems and it seems that You know the passion hasn't gone in fact the passion for the sport the passion for The excitement actually it's not passion. It's excitement about Finally joining a proper fight gym getting involved. You know, it's a new community of people It's just like joining a normal gym. You you see the regulars there. You're going to get to know them They're going to become your friends And you're like-minded like-minded people that's what I was always after that's what I was struggling to get in Alice Springs and that's what I'm slowly but surely Getting in my life is like-minded people to to vibe off. You know, you can't you can't be by yourself all the time man You can't you can't it gets fucking boring and it'll send you insane And you can't achieve everything by yourself either sometimes you need to ask for help You know, sometimes you need to relinquish a little bit of control and whatever you're doing Whatever goal you may have to get that help you might need and that's something i've Not been open to do But it's something i'm certainly Getting more open to do Including things like collaborations on this youtube channel I was scared I was scared about doing collabs. I was scared that people might think I'm not who I Seem to be on camera. I was scared about meeting someone, you know, that had watched me for years Online and then being underwhelmed at at what i'm like, but the fact is guys is I'm confident. I know who I'm getting to know who I am right now, but the fact is guys is that The fact is is that in the year 2020 I have done some Some soul searching man. I've done some growing. I've done some Matureing beyond all other years of my life. I feel like 2020 has been a turning point I feel like 2020 Is a year I will never ever forget I feel like 2020 is a year that I need to write about to actually get all of this shit that's happened throughout the year out, you know what I mean Rather than talk about it on a youtube video, which is how I'd normally work through things. I'm gonna write about it I'm gonna write about it. I've got my writing pad here I've got two incredible pens that I went and bought. They're about 10 bucks each. They're fucking amazing rollable ink pens I'm ready to start writing. I'm ready to write some memoirs And I'm gonna really enjoy it. That's something I'm gonna work on while I'm away As well as continuing to make these videos and guys If you've made it to the end of this one, which I honestly think hardly any of you will have I appreciate it This has been fun This is my second morning of reactions whilst being on the road.
