Roughly 1718 weeks ago, talked to him.
I told y’all that my guy made a statement.
He said, I know I can play at an all-pro level.
I know I can play at a Pro Bowl level, and I’m gonna show y’all that I can play at that level.
He told y’all, and I kept warning y’all, and I kept warning y’all, and I kept warning y’all.
Imagine this.
Just just throw something out there real quick.
TJ Watt, Miles Gear, Trey Hendrickson.
Kyle freaking Van Noy.
Put him in there with all those rushes over there in the AFC North.
My dog said he was gonna do it.
Not only did he get double digits, he hit his incentive and that’s why he got 250 bans, baby.
Honestly though, let me ask you a question.
How come people keep Doing the under, they keep trying to like not believe it.
You know what I mean?
They keep trying to like wash it over.
Why is that?
Because people get put in these boxes.
This guy was a key part of a major defense that won two Super Bowls.
All right, y’all want to write me off?
I’m at home.
Baltimore call.
All right, cool.
I showed the.
Baltimore, get 9 sacks, resign.
Oh, that’s still not good enough.
All right, bet.
I’ll hit double digits.
Oh, that’s not good enough.
All right, let me just keep going.
Let me hit these incentives, and that’s what you did.
And people just keep wanting to put people in in this stigmas and put people in these boxes.
Well, I tell you what, my guy shot up out that box, he said.
you can put that box somewhere else.
Let me get it.
Get me up out this box.
So y’all, but kill it, it’s cool.
Let them keep you in the box.
It’s all good.
We ain’t keep opening the box, man.
What I will say though is don’t ever let people stop your shine.
Just keep shining.
And then 2, wherever I go, I can honestly say this.
I feel like teams are better and then when I leave, teams.
Seem to, you know, go a little bit the other direction.
I know the standard that I have every time I go somewhere I make the place better, better than where I had it when, when I leave.
That’s just kind of how I roll.
