00:00All right, London in the locker room, Brian Burns, Spider-Man, all-around baller.

00:04I guess I'll just start with four sacks on the season, man.

00:07You've been eating.

00:08It all started in the spring.

00:10We saw it summertime.

00:11We saw our preseason as well.

00:12So just kind of talk about, like, I mean, just how does it feel out there to have,

00:16you know, the success that you're having early in the season?

00:19It's been good.

00:19And, you know, it just shows the work I put in this offseason.

00:23And it also shows the work that my room, you know, had around me, like Kayvon, Abdul, Taman, Chauncey.

00:30You know, those guys have been pushing me.

00:31My coach has been pushing me.

00:33So they're really making me step my game up to another level.

00:35You were talking about how Kayvon looked throughout the spring and the summer as well.

00:40You said he kind of had a chip on his shoulder playing with the edge.

00:43Abdul, same thing.

00:44We see him showing flashes of him being, you know, kind of like the future as well.

00:49So just how do you think the big three has kind of performed so far as a unit?

00:53I think it's been good.

00:55It could be a lot better.

00:56We left some plays out there last Sunday that we should have made.

01:01But so far it's been a good, been a nice little introduction to what we can do.

01:05Like you said, it's been flashes of what we can do.

01:07And we've been playing a lot more together.

01:09So, you know, with that, we'll get more comfortable with each other

01:12and just knowing what the other guys are going to do.

01:14So I think we'll be doing a lot more, you know, later on in the season.

01:18And Jackson Dart now gets the start at quarterback.

01:20As a defense, have you guys talked about what you guys have to do to help him,

01:25especially against a Chargers team that has a stingy defense of their own?

01:29My main mindset is really to make the game easy for him, you know, to get him nice stops,

01:34you know, take the ball away, put him in short fields, allow him to be comfortable,

01:39and just to reassure him that he doesn't have to be our savior or nothing like that.

01:43Like we really want to make the job easy for him and make his transition smooth.

01:46What are some of the things he does well that you're looking forward to see

01:50when he goes out there, steps out there for the first time?

01:52His confidence.

01:53His confidence, his energy.

01:55I think Jackson makes a lot of exciting plays, you know.

02:01But as a rookie quarterback, I just want – as a rookie, you know, coming into what it's week four,

02:06you know, going against his defense, you know,

02:09I just want him to make sure that he's comfortable

02:11and doing everything the coach is asking him to do.

02:13We've seen a lot of teams kind of take that too-high mindset, rush four, drop seven, double Malik.

02:20Now you've got a Jackson Dart that can use his athleticism and his mobility.

02:24You play defensive line, so what's it like kind of if you have to rush four,

02:28going after a quarterback that can move athletically and maybe get out the pocket?

02:32It's difficult, you know, having a guy that can hurt you with his legs.

02:35He can also extend plays, which puts the stress on the back end for scramble drills

02:40and things of that nature, and that's allowing our receivers like Leak and Wendell, Slade,

02:44to either go deep or come back short to help the quarterback out.

02:47But it's just those plays, the play after the play is the hard ones to guard.

02:50We're talking about the energy of, I guess, the locker room,

02:54just the overall vibes from the spring to the summer.

02:57On three, I can imagine everyone's not as upbeat as they were.

03:02How do you fix this thing, man, you being the leader of this team?

03:05Man, you just got to get a dub.

03:06You got to get on that board, man, get in that column.

03:08That's how you fix it.

03:10You know, the emotions right now is a little frustrated,

03:12but it's still a will to fight.

03:14But the way you fix it is getting in that win column for sure.

03:17All right, man. Good luck on Sunday, bro.

03:18Appreciate you, bro.
