were you a little surprised when you got the news that you had gotten traded or what was kind of your reaction um I was kind of just waiting for it to happen honestly just because uh I knew my outcome and uh kind of knew what was going on with the team and talking with my agent it was just a matter of fact when and happened yesterday at 4:00 so glad to be here now when did the Saints get on your radar like did you know early on that they were one of the teams interested in you or I had no idea I tried to keep it to where my agent didn't really tell me much just cuz I want to stay focused on preseason but I mean I'm glad to be here you know it's a nice nice organization to play for I think um like washing Adam Peters and danin kind of indicated that this would be a better scheme for you do you you feel like that's the case or you um yeah I'm sure it is just the way they play and the dline coach and the style they teach and I'm excited to get to learn the Playbook and get to play along the guys on the D line there are a couple guys here that you know K and Chase look like to be uh it was pretty nice just to see some faces already recognized you know in a new new spot so being able to have them to count on where you know if I'm not you know feeling my way around town good enough or feeling around the facility I can lean on them when I need it plan to suplex any guys while you're here I don't think the D line will cover the fines for that but I mean if it happens it happens but I think my pockets's a little deeper now since my rookie year so kind of general question what can you bring to this defense um definitely like a blue collar mentality like I'm GNA bring my hard hat and lunch paill every day to work so that's what I plan on bringing it's just a good mindset and good attitude to attack the day and whatever happens happens I can live with it cover it yet from the up downs yeah yeah man 40 oh they were telling me that and I was like this dude must be lying like you know pull my chain a littleit bit but no he was he was for Real about it but it was definitely nice seeing I had the team around me supporting me so that was nice about it they just just leave me over there to suffer so it was cool to have the camaraderie around you know versus just a new guy coming in I'll just make him do 40 burpees real quick so it was cool did uh did you know that coming in no I had no idea they they put a old picture of me in college up and said XL was like 10 minus 50 and you got 40 burpees I was like man I don't know I'm going to recover from that but I end up getting back my leg's back so that's good what uh like when did you start to fill it around like what number you know oh soon as it got to about 23 27 I was like I got about 13 17 more like come on it was really getting bad when the spit starts coming out you know it's like but no it wasn't bad like I said I was happy I had the guys were around me so it was cool cool experience I definitely don't look forward to doing it again next year but it was a good experience
