My guy killer got a four piece right now.

He’s back to back two pieces.

Hey, America, stop eating all this fast food.

But if you gonna go get some chicken, make sure you get no less than a two piece.

That’s what my guy killer is doing right now.

Two piece, two piece.

My dog just bowling.

We just trying to make a living man.

We just trying to show the people we still got it.

Is he doing it with an eye patch?

God damn.

Nick Fury is out there getting busy.

Yes, I clocks no.

On the real though.

Gee I really, I really took things personal like I know everybody tells you don’t take it personal in the league.

It’s just business and I’m like, no, I’m the opposite.

I take everything personal like it matters that much to me.

I took it personal that I was on the couch last year until about week four and I took it personal because I’m like, people around the league don’t think I’m a good football player.

I have a huge chip on my shoulder like I feel like, you know, I can play at a pro bowl level.

I’ve always thought that I’ve always, I’m going to feel that way and I’m just gonna continue to try to get better each and every game, not only for myself, but for my team, this scheme has allowed me to have my potential come out a little bit as far as rushing, which is awesome.

You know, there’s a lot more work to do.

I missed a couple too, um, in the game, I could have had three or four.

So for me, it’s back to work mentality and just keep getting better.

But that chip that, that chip’s never gonna leave, make daughters believers, you know, mob type stuff.

And I hear you play and I was always taught, you know, uh, the great ones win, the goal is to win 70% of your rushes.

You’re not gonna win them all, but you are putting pressure on the quarterback and the more you win, the more opportunities to get the sack.

I was always taught by the great Joe Cullen who’s a defensive line coach for the Kansas City Chiefs.

Obviously, it’s working for them.

He always told me you never know when your sack is gonna come.

So it’s the play that you take off where it’s like, oh, that was the one.

So you never take plays off.

So that mindset you got killer is why you’ve been baling the way you’ve been balling.

Definitely gonna need it on Sunday because that day y’all got alien coming into town.

And if y’all gonna slow this dude down, we need kill him.
