Um, I would say my play 63 00:04:00,040 --> 00:04:08,000 Speaker 1: in style is aggressive and relentless. I would say, and them, 64 00:04:08,080 --> 00:04:10,840 Speaker 1: and who would who are some of the players that 65 00:04:10,920 --> 00:04:14,400 Speaker 1: you've maybe looked up to over the years or even 66 00:04:14,400 --> 00:04:19,200 Speaker 1: attempted to model your game after. You know, I wouldn't 67 00:04:19,200 --> 00:04:21,839 Speaker 1: really say that I modeled my game after anyone specifically, 68 00:04:22,080 --> 00:04:25,839 Speaker 1: you know. To be honest with you, UM, I guess 69 00:04:25,880 --> 00:04:29,200 Speaker 1: I've always kind of just wanted to play my own 70 00:04:29,240 --> 00:04:32,279 Speaker 1: game and make it to where you know, people are saying, 71 00:04:33,240 --> 00:04:35,359 Speaker 1: you know, uh, like I'd love to be able to 72 00:04:35,360 --> 00:04:37,960 Speaker 1: play like cold strange, you know. I guess. I guess 73 00:04:37,960 --> 00:04:41,440 Speaker 1: I've never really looked at anyone else and and I 74 00:04:41,600 --> 00:04:43,839 Speaker 1: wanted to emulate what they do, just want to create 75 00:04:44,240 --> 00:04:47,920 Speaker 1: my own less playing, which is what I would say, 76 00:04:48,000 --> 00:04:49,800 Speaker 1: is just aggressive and trying to play an st and 77 00:04:49,839 --> 00:04:52,000 Speaker 1: I feel like how the game of football is supposed 78 00:04:52,040 --> 00:05:00,120 Speaker 1: to be played.
