And you just heard your name Aaron in the conversation with J.

J.

Watt.

Lawrence Taylor.

Some of the best to ever do it.

What does it mean to you to be in the conversation with those guys and performing at such a high level?

Still in the prime of your career?

Um, well, anytime you talked about what a great football player like that, you're gonna be excited.

You know, um, you pick the body of working, you know, the have success to be, you know, to be mentioned with.

Great.

So, um, it's just a blessing to be where I met this far, but definitely a lot of room for improvement.

So first of all, I realized expensive drapery when I say it.

So I expect nothing less from your brother.

Uh, here's my question.

80.

Do you realize what you're doing out there on the field?

Man like because being in the league for so long, you have been around great players.

I played with the markets where who sometimes made plays, and we was like doing what you're doing.

And he didn't even realize what was happening.

Do you understand what you're doing on the field right now or for you?

It's just head down, grind all week.

And let's Sunday take care of itself.

I'm just out there playing ball.

Honestly, it's just, you know, you go out there, you found ways to find ways of trying to be productive.

You're trying to find ways, you know, effective play, to make the game, changing plays, to help your team to win.

So I'm just out there working man, just trying toe, you know, continue to play at a high level of the win games.

You know, the ultimate goal is to win the ultimate goal for everybody, to make it to be a world champion.

So you know how I play, the better opportunity.

We got the win.

So I realized that you are saying all the right things and I get that.

But you just said before that you have some things you still want to improve on, and I've watched you play and it looks like you're just tossing people away like it's no big deal.

It's so easy for you.

What do you need to improve on what needs to get better.

Um, there's a lot of things.

I don't want to sit here and and be right with you all guys until you got my weaknesses.

But there's a There's a lot of things that I needed to clean up that I needed better, um that come with me, you know, watching during the offseason, studying myself, talking with my D line, coach, coach, any of them, you know, telling things that I feel like I need to work on.

So, um, a long as I continue to do that um, continue Thio, not allow myself to be satisfied and allow myself to be comfortable There's always gonna be room for improvement.

So football question when you you facing double team 70% of the snaps that your plan.

How is that communication with your guys?

Michael Braga's understanding that that group and that the line it's a tight knit group, but you also have to play for each other.

In a sense.

What's that communication like with you guys and them knowing you're gonna be facing these double teams?

Well, we tell them we every single week, you know, if if they want to slap the protection to me and, you know, trying to find ways to slow me down.

I just give them more opportunities to defeat.

They want on Once, you know, they knew what they needed.

They know what they need to do.

Um, they need to continue toe, you know, found ways that affect the quarterback getting a quarterback's face a, um, effective play anywhere they can.

And from there, you know, I'll get them guys freedom.

And I play off them guys if you come down to them guys lightning protection every single time.

So, um, it's just trying to, you know, we gotta play off each other.

If they double meat, I get opportunities, the when they want on ones.

And if they wanted them that they're gonna slide the protection away from me, and then I get the one on ones as well.

So they go hand in hand.

Yeah, we're just trying to keep you humble and hungry here on NFL live, so you may not realize this, but you're gonna face the Bears and Nick Foles on Monday Night football.

You've never sacked him, and you played him three times.

You keep tabs on these guys that you sack.

And there, if that's the case.

Like, why haven't you sacked Nick Foles yet?

E I don't know.

I just don't get to him.

And I gotta find a way, though.

But, you know, I'm a go out there play.

I'm a study.

Um, you know, hopefully I get the opportunities and I get to him.

Is that this time?

So we're gonna see Thanks for thanks for the motivations.

E o last question, Big homie, What's the What's the missing ingredient for for where you guys are trying to go?

You You made it to the Promised Land.

Didn't quite get the job done before.

What you think that ingredient that y'all missing that that's gonna get you back to that point?

We just got to play more consistent.

You know, I think we started off playing strong.

You know, last couple of weeks, in my opinion, we've been playing a little un consistent and consistent, um, from as a team overall.

So way just got to play ball the way we know how to play ball, the high level, Um, long we do that, man, we can definitely get to what we need to be.

We've got the talent.

We got the players, We got the coaches.

We just got to continue to put it together and go out there and perform.

Erin, you've only missed two games in your entire career.

How do you help your body recover to be able to do that?

Um, that's doing a lot of, you know, massages, character, actor and Dr Tills.

You know, something that I truly led by, You know, pretty much every single day.

I'm soaking in a bath for 15 20 minutes with Dr Tills and, you know, definitely, um, take the aches and pains away, um, the sourness to help me recover a lot faster, you know?
