LOCKER ROOM: Rylie Mills

0:00Well Riley Mills, man, first time you're going to be playing in week one for the C.O. Tyefield going to Limitfield week one. I speak to you, we're better than week 15, so I'm pumped for it. So you know, you played against this team obviously last time. You had the sack that everyone asked you about a million times. You go up against them now, but it's a different offensive line. How do you kind of approach this game differently than you did that one? Yeah, I feel like you got to take away the things we did in that game. We're good, but you know, obviously they're going to see that, so they're going to make adjustments. For me, I think for us as a D-line, I'm just playing our best ball and playing our strengths. How much does where you line up on the line change your game plan? If you're outside, you're inside. How much does that change your responsibilities in your game plan? Yeah, I mean, it depends on what the call is, but I think terms of rushing how you play. If you're outside, you have a little bit more space, if you're inside, it's a little bit tighter. So things change up a little bit, but you also just kind of just run out someone that's here they do, and you kind of control it. And as far as who's standing and who's line up next to you, if it's Murf next to you versus Lennervolians versus Jaren Reed, obviously you got talent coming out your ears, but how

1:01does that change like how you are going to play off of those guys? It's great because I know that's three wrecking balls right there. Sarno, you know, worse than worse, I can always play off them, but they're going to go blow something up, and there are a lot of experience in the three of those guys. So I kind of listen what they say out there and just try to just work with them. I know a lot of focus goes into pass rush. Like it gets a lot, that's where the money goes, right? But you know, from a run defense perspective, are the things that you feel like you've improved on, or you've been trying to improve on this year versus last 100%. I mean, I think last year was just the battle that come back with the knee and just feeling like me again. And I think, you know, now it's been great feeling like my knee is 100%. Like I feel like there's no drop off. And you know, again, it's just still me playing my, you know, pad level, all the same things, but I think it's been great because every day we've been working it, and I feel like, you know, from the end of the season last year to where I'm now, it's like 100% of different players. So I'm feeling really good. Appreciate it, man.
