1
00:00:02,240 --> 00:00:10,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, um, something I picked up this offseason and uh,

2
00:00:10,880 --> 00:00:13,319
Speaker 1: haven't been able to put it down yet. So I

3
00:00:13,400 --> 00:00:15,640
Speaker 1: enjoy walking around with it. I think it shows my

4
00:00:15,680 --> 00:00:18,520
Speaker 1: love for the game and uh, you know it's part

5
00:00:18,520 --> 00:00:21,239
Speaker 1: of my daily routine. Now you haven't been able to

6
00:00:21,239 --> 00:00:23,160
Speaker 1: put it down, or you've chosen not to put it down.

7
00:00:23,360 --> 00:00:26,520
Speaker 1: This is a request from somebody else or just something

8
00:00:26,560 --> 00:00:28,960
Speaker 1: that you've done on your own. I mean, it's just

9
00:00:29,000 --> 00:00:31,600
Speaker 1: something I kind of picked up. Like I said, Um,

10
00:00:31,720 --> 00:00:34,400
Speaker 1: you know, everybody, if I don't have the ball, everybody's like, Yo,

11
00:00:34,400 --> 00:00:37,680
Speaker 1: where's your ball? Where's your boss? Like red alert? Everybody

12
00:00:37,720 --> 00:00:39,879
Speaker 1: knows something's up if I ain't got it, So let's

13
00:00:39,920 --> 00:00:41,560
Speaker 1: make sure to keep it on me at all times.

14
00:00:43,040 --> 00:00:47,800
Speaker 1: We talked to and he said, stopping the run is

15
00:00:47,800 --> 00:00:49,760
Speaker 1: so important. But on the other side of the ball,

16
00:00:49,800 --> 00:00:52,599
Speaker 1: I'm assuming starting the run, get that run getting going,

17
00:00:52,720 --> 00:00:57,960
Speaker 1: especially you know with the young quarterback. Yeah, it's definitely important. Um,

18
00:00:58,000 --> 00:01:00,680
Speaker 1: I mean Coach Belichick says all the time that running

19
00:01:00,680 --> 00:01:03,840
Speaker 1: the football and established in the line of scrimmages a

20
00:01:03,920 --> 00:01:07,400
Speaker 1: sign of a tough, tough football team. So obviously there's

21
00:01:07,400 --> 00:01:08,880
Speaker 1: something that we want to do. Um, we want to

22
00:01:08,880 --> 00:01:11,759
Speaker 1: set that identity, set that president that it doesn't matter

23
00:01:11,800 --> 00:01:14,240
Speaker 1: who lines up across from us, don't matter how you play,

24
00:01:14,280 --> 00:01:16,560
Speaker 1: who you play, We're gonna show up. We're gonna be

25
00:01:16,600 --> 00:01:18,000
Speaker 1: trying to be the tougher team, trying to be the

26
00:01:18,040 --> 00:01:20,039
Speaker 1: more physical team. We're gonna try to do that for

27
00:01:20,080 --> 00:01:22,800
Speaker 1: sixty minutes. So running the ball, you know in the

28
00:01:22,800 --> 00:01:24,800
Speaker 1: past game special teams, I mean, it really comes in

29
00:01:24,880 --> 00:01:26,480
Speaker 1: all phase of the game. So as a team, we

30
00:01:26,520 --> 00:01:29,000
Speaker 1: just got to show up weekend and week out and

31
00:01:29,200 --> 00:01:31,880
Speaker 1: be ready to set that set that mentality that you know,

32
00:01:31,959 --> 00:01:33,920
Speaker 1: don't matter who we're playing against, it doesn't matter where,

33
00:01:33,920 --> 00:01:35,399
Speaker 1: it doesn't matter when you know, we're gonna show up

34
00:01:35,400 --> 00:01:36,880
Speaker 1: and we're gonna try to be the most physical team

35
00:01:36,920 --> 00:01:40,520
Speaker 1: on the field. I want to ask you a harder

36
00:01:40,560 --> 00:01:46,160
Speaker 1: hitting question. Okay, I'm excited for this one. I'm excited

37
00:01:46,200 --> 00:01:52,080
Speaker 1: for this one. Who I don't even know. I don't

38
00:01:52,080 --> 00:01:55,560
Speaker 1: even know the adjective is to describe Brandon. But first

39
00:01:55,560 --> 00:01:58,800
Speaker 1: and foremost, I must say an incredible leader. UM, a

40
00:01:58,840 --> 00:02:01,160
Speaker 1: guy who's played a lot of football, that's got a

41
00:02:01,160 --> 00:02:03,640
Speaker 1: lot of experience, that can tell every story about I

42
00:02:03,640 --> 00:02:05,520
Speaker 1: know he talked about eyes and all his stories. But

43
00:02:05,840 --> 00:02:07,640
Speaker 1: this dude, I tell you it don't matter what you

44
00:02:07,640 --> 00:02:09,079
Speaker 1: bring up, don't matter what you said. He's got a

45
00:02:09,120 --> 00:02:12,679
Speaker 1: story for everything and its detail. He's got people places,

46
00:02:13,560 --> 00:02:16,320
Speaker 1: got every story in the book. So I mean, Brandon's

47
00:02:16,360 --> 00:02:20,000
Speaker 1: obviously an incredible leader, a great football player, a great teammate,

48
00:02:20,040 --> 00:02:22,760
Speaker 1: and an even better friend. You know, having a guy

49
00:02:22,800 --> 00:02:25,440
Speaker 1: like Brandon, it was very apparent when he wasn't here

50
00:02:26,040 --> 00:02:28,680
Speaker 1: last year, And you know we need guys like that.

51
00:02:28,760 --> 00:02:30,320
Speaker 1: Guys can go out there on the field that can

52
00:02:30,320 --> 00:02:32,919
Speaker 1: do whatever to ask for him, whether it's offense or

53
00:02:32,960 --> 00:02:35,680
Speaker 1: special teams. A guy that can lead, a guy that

54
00:02:35,720 --> 00:02:37,480
Speaker 1: can I know, I can come off the sideline and

55
00:02:37,520 --> 00:02:40,000
Speaker 1: be can tell me, you know you did this, but

56
00:02:40,120 --> 00:02:42,320
Speaker 1: you probably could have done that, or that was a

57
00:02:42,320 --> 00:02:44,320
Speaker 1: good run. He gonna be the first person to celebrate

58
00:02:44,400 --> 00:02:46,720
Speaker 1: with you. So he had so many different things with him.

59
00:02:46,720 --> 00:02:49,520
Speaker 1: Like I said, a great teammate, a great leader, a

60
00:02:49,520 --> 00:02:52,320
Speaker 1: better person, a better friend. So you know, be very

61
00:02:52,360 --> 00:02:54,280
Speaker 1: glad to have you back. I don't think I've told

62
00:02:54,320 --> 00:03:00,440
Speaker 1: you that yet, but yeah, I missed you. I'm missing Tabe.

63
00:03:00,440 --> 00:03:01,959
Speaker 1: You know what do you need? I thought some two

64
00:03:02,000 --> 00:03:06,120
Speaker 1: Alabama quarterbacks started max on your team too, is on

65
00:03:06,120 --> 00:03:08,680
Speaker 1: the Dolphins, which is significance for you know, program that

66
00:03:08,720 --> 00:03:11,560
Speaker 1: you came from. Short of your thoughts on UM, I mean,

67
00:03:11,600 --> 00:03:13,800
Speaker 1: I think it's just a testament to uh, you know,

68
00:03:13,840 --> 00:03:16,880
Speaker 1: the program that we that we all went through in college. UM.

69
00:03:17,200 --> 00:03:20,560
Speaker 1: We know Alabama produces great players at every position every

70
00:03:20,560 --> 00:03:23,079
Speaker 1: single year. So we got a lot of guys from

71
00:03:23,120 --> 00:03:24,640
Speaker 1: BAM and this game, you know, on both sides of

72
00:03:24,639 --> 00:03:26,760
Speaker 1: the ball. So you know, it'll definitely be good to

73
00:03:26,800 --> 00:03:29,040
Speaker 1: see all those guys and to compete against them and

74
00:03:29,360 --> 00:03:30,800
Speaker 1: you know, kind of be like the old days. You know,

75
00:03:30,800 --> 00:03:33,639
Speaker 1: we knew showing up in practice at Alabama every day

76
00:03:33,639 --> 00:03:35,160
Speaker 1: you were going up against the best of the best.

77
00:03:35,400 --> 00:03:38,760
Speaker 1: And you see that translate because every every game, weekend

78
00:03:38,760 --> 00:03:41,400
Speaker 1: and week out, you're playing against more Alabama guys. You've

79
00:03:41,400 --> 00:03:43,200
Speaker 1: got a lot of Alabama guys in this locker room.

80
00:03:43,280 --> 00:03:45,720
Speaker 1: So I think it's just a testament to the program

81
00:03:45,800 --> 00:03:48,640
Speaker 1: that we went through. Um, we're all very fortunate to

82
00:03:48,640 --> 00:03:51,040
Speaker 1: be a part of that program. And you know, when

83
00:03:51,040 --> 00:03:53,119
Speaker 1: it comes to Sunday, those are opponents, so as great

84
00:03:53,120 --> 00:03:55,920
Speaker 1: as it'll be to kind of reunite with them and

85
00:03:56,000 --> 00:03:58,360
Speaker 1: say what's up, and you know, kind of reminisce on

86
00:03:58,400 --> 00:03:59,880
Speaker 1: some old times. You know, at the end of the day,

87
00:04:00,400 --> 00:04:02,520
Speaker 1: the guys across the ball from us, those are our opponents.

88
00:04:02,560 --> 00:04:04,360
Speaker 1: So we got to treat business. You know, it's business

89
00:04:04,400 --> 00:04:07,080
Speaker 1: being done with Max specifically. What's it been like? And

90
00:04:07,080 --> 00:04:09,200
Speaker 1: I know you guys work together in camp, like you know,

91
00:04:09,240 --> 00:04:12,000
Speaker 1: now that he's starting, quarterbackers working with him a little

92
00:04:12,040 --> 00:04:14,200
Speaker 1: more hands on. What's that been like? And you guys

93
00:04:14,200 --> 00:04:16,080
Speaker 1: ever have moments we were like, oh, this is like

94
00:04:16,160 --> 00:04:18,240
Speaker 1: you know this like it was back now Alabama or

95
00:04:18,240 --> 00:04:22,360
Speaker 1: something like that. Um, you know, it's been great. UM.

96
00:04:22,760 --> 00:04:25,279
Speaker 1: I think overall, we're trying to develop a great team

97
00:04:25,360 --> 00:04:28,960
Speaker 1: chemistry across the board, offense, defense, special teams, in the

98
00:04:29,040 --> 00:04:31,200
Speaker 1: kicking game. Everybody wants to get on the same page

99
00:04:31,200 --> 00:04:33,000
Speaker 1: because we know there's gonna be a long season full

100
00:04:33,040 --> 00:04:35,840
Speaker 1: of great challenges. Start with Week one and we're playing

101
00:04:35,839 --> 00:04:38,279
Speaker 1: a great Miami team, team with a lot of talent.

102
00:04:38,760 --> 00:04:40,840
Speaker 1: Team is gonna give us a lot of problems. So

103
00:04:41,400 --> 00:04:42,800
Speaker 1: you know, we just want to come in here and

104
00:04:43,160 --> 00:04:46,799
Speaker 1: form our identity, come together as a team. UM. Developed

105
00:04:46,839 --> 00:04:49,239
Speaker 1: that complimentary level of football where we all play together,

106
00:04:49,279 --> 00:04:51,120
Speaker 1: we're all playing off of each other and just go

107
00:04:51,120 --> 00:04:56,039
Speaker 1: out there and be ready to execute on Sunday while

110
00:05:00,760 --> 00:05:02,760
Speaker 1: none of them have. That's a lot and none of them.
