 I guess we didn't talk to you since you signed it. What's life been like as a Titan so far? What's kind of your day-to-day been like this all season to try to get yourself ready for camp? You know, it's been good, you know, adapting to the city, adapting to the team. The playbook is going tremendously well for me to learn the plays. You know, I'll just, you know, just excited to be up here and excited to be around the guys. Man, it's just a fun atmosphere. Teresa. With that, Bud, how are you recovering and, you know, do you have an updated timetable yet? And what's your hopes for training camp? Well, I'm recovering well. I'm on schedule. As far as when they'll let me practice and stuff, I really want to know it's up to them to like decide how they want to do it, how they want to go forth with it. But on my end, I'm doing pretty good. And, you know, just taking it day by day, you know, just excited for the season ahead. Buck. Yeah, Bud, I know ACLs are fairly routine at this point in the NFL, but how big an impact of the people at XO's that you've been rehabbing with throughout the course of the off season had on your ability to recover and kind of regain that kind of explosiveness? Man, you know, XO's did a great job, man. I can say that tremendously they did, you know, the effort, the time that we put into it out there in Arizona and they're also in Atlanta too. You know, they brought this in a group of guys to Atlanta for me, so I can build my family down there. Man, it just been a tremendous time the whole time, you know, the recovery aspect of, you know, working it hard, working it hard, but also taking care of my body to make sure I recover well. You know, it's out to them, man. They, the plan that they set forth for me, man, working tremendously and I'm just excited about it. Well, Bud, you have to be patient in terms of establishing yourself with the other guys since you haven't been out there for the OTAs and now for the minicamp, or are you able to find ways to kind of take on your leadership role despite that? Yeah, I mean, I'm not on the field with those guys, you know, it's kind of different from that standpoint, but I, you know, I do see them all the time. I see them all the time. So, you know, we all get closer and closer each day. The more they know about me, the more they know me, you know, it just, that big takes a lot about how a person feels about you. You know, I'm just excited to get on the field, man, just show them that, you know, that I work hard along with those guys. They see me going hard in the training room. They see me going hard in the all season program that I'm in right now and getting better and trying to get back out there with those guys so I can make an impact right away. And they respect that everybody's excited for me to be here and I'm just excited and I'm more excited that they're accepting me being here on the team. You've been around or you've been mostly on Zoom until lately? No, I've been around. So, well, most of them Zoom until mid-account, but now, I came back and forth a couple of times and I'm trying to find places to stay so I've been seeing guys here and there. Great, Ernest. Hey, Bud, we all know the Titan Sack numbers from last year and the sizable investment they've made in you to fix that. How do you avoid mentally that weighing on you and maybe trying to do too much or just putting too much pressure on yourself to fix the whole thing yourself? Yeah, I mean, it's a team effort, but I'm a big part of that. Pressure boost, pikes or pressure creates a diamond. So, you got to take it at that standpoint. I mean, it's no secret. They got me here for that to help out with the pass first and I put it on my shoulder and I wear that hat while I'm working out in the O-season, while I'm rehabbing right now, getting my knee right. We all know what it is and that's just part of the business of this game called football. So, I take it upon myself to make sure that I make an impact as well as bringing guys up with me, man. The guys who've been here the whole time as well as teaching those guys stuff that I learned over the years and learning stuff from those guys that I may not know doing different pass rush things along with different trainers and stuff and just bringing that knowledge to them. And also, if they do something with somebody else, just bring that knowledge together and constantly communicating on how we wanna rush and how we wanna be a unit. We wanna make sure that we define ourselves before the season of what we wanna be. And we have a clear vision and a clear goal of what we're working to, that'll make things better and that we'll have a path and we'll have milestones to hit. And that's how you build it. Is there a pressure that comes with the money or is it all just football? I mean, to me, man, it just, you expect to get paid big in second country. If you're working hard in the first country, you expect the second country can get paid. And with that, that doesn't mean you have to go out there and change who you are because that's what got you paid. So, I just got to go out there and continue to produce and produce like I have. And the bigger part of that is just not me producing, it's bringing someone else along to produce as well. So, and then once you're doing that, then it's all worth it. And Arthur. Hey, bud, after the draft, Rashad Weaver was saying he'd gotten a chance to like link up with you or something to that manner. I think he said you guys share like the same financial advisor or something like that. I guess just from the interactions, just you've had with Rashad to this point, even though you're not able to practice, what have kind of been your impressions of him and maybe kind of what he brings to the defense? Yeah, I met young boy at Pitch, man. You know, me being understood as him being in Pitch right across the hallway, seeing him there, seeing him play. Then we do have the same financial advisor, Mark Domen and you know, so that played a big part in him in all season in Arizona this summer too, where I was rehabbing, I've seen him up there. And you know, man, he's a hard worker and he's a side to be here. He's trying to take advantage of every opportunity he gets. And I feel like he'll go out here, man. And just continue to work hard like he does. You know, he's always trying to learn more things. So, you know, that's all you want in the young pledge to keep trying to learn, man. And everything goes to take care of itself. Steve Layman. Hey bud, you just talked about part of the past rush is a full team and full unit effort. Obviously in Pittsburgh, you had a pretty good unit around you, namely TJ. Have you been out there enough and looking at your new teammates here? Did you see a unit that can be a force in the past rush with you as a part of it? Oh, definitely. You know, everyone on the team, man, the whole defense, man, I feel like the unit is a good unit. You know, it just comes with work and dedication. You know, we put our hard hats on, man. We come in every day. Those guys obviously already on the field, but I'm still putting my hard hat on in the rehab room, in the training room to make sure that we're, you know, I'm not, once I get back on the field, I'm not falling behind. And so, man, that's just part of it. You know, we all want to be good players. You know, that's why we're in the NFL. And all it takes is people to understand and realize how good they can be, man. You just got to push for the effort day in and day out and you can make it to that standpoint. Couple more for you, but Emily? Yeah, but when we talked to, you know, some of the returners on defense, that the common theme is obviously last year, not good enough and they're feeling kind of that sense of urgency and the need to be better than last year. Do you feel that sense of urgency and that, you know, extra focus this off season on defense? Yeah, well, I can't even, I really can't even tell, like, you know, since just being around them, no, being in meetings is different from being on the field. Being in meetings is different from being on the field as far as, you know, feeling the urgency, like you said, you know, feeling the real pressure that's built up from those guys who was here last year, you know, the chip on their shoulder is different from guys who are just getting here, you know, it's a whole different statute of work that they've been through over the years, the pain, you know, the hard work, the dedication, the time that they put into it, you know. So their chip on their shoulder is very different from the guys who are just getting here. The guys who are just getting here, man, we were trying to come in and get on the hop and rolling train and make our presence known as much as we can by making the best impact that we can, you know, not going out and disrespecting none of the guys who've been here before us, but bringing those guys up, helping the guys as much as we can, you know, continue to be ourselves and in this new atmosphere, you know. And that's the key, I feel like we got to continue to be ourselves who the players that got us here for the new guys, you know, continue to get better and better each day, man. And once we link with those guys and everybody has the same goal and the same vision, and then that's when the unit will mold together. It's two more for Biden, then we have Roger ready, Paul. But we just met Ryan Crow really for the first time in terms of talking to, hearing from him the other day. I wonder your impressions of a young first-time position coach and what that dynamic will be like with you and with the group? Man, that's great, you know. He's his first time coaching, so you know he's gonna come out when trying to have his first year with a bang. Now, he's very detailed oriented with us. You know, he goes over the things that we overlook. You know, he's trying to make sure that we emphasize those things, the smaller things, the fundamental things in the game. The things that we know, we learned at high school, bring it back up. You know, he's taking pride in actually being a coach, man, and wanting to get guys better. And that's all you can ask for, man. Just continue to be real like he is, you know. Even though he's his first time, and he got a lot of great players in the room that can help him out. You know, I'm excited for him. I'm excited to play. I'm just as much excited to play for him than I know he is excited to coach us. Last question, Jim Wyatt. Hey, bud, this team has kind of changed since you first came aboard. I think you were the first signing and then DeNico has come aboard. DeNorris has come aboard. You got into draft classes, heavy on defense, and then other side of the ball, Julio Jones last week, Josh Reynolds. What's it been like kind of seeing all these additions to now your new team and what your overall thought about it? Man, it's exciting. It's exciting. But you know, now we've just got to go out and put that work in, man. And then show the world, like show the world the finished product. Now it's the time of grind. All season is the time of grind. Training camp is the time of grind. The beginning season is the time of grind. But at the end of the day, everyone wants to be at that last game of the season. And that's what the main goal is. But to be able to get to that last game of the season, everyone has to put in their effort, put in their work, put in their dedication. And it starts now, man. And like you said, it's a great group of guys that came in with already a great team. And we all are excited, but we got to go put the work in.
