1
00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:03,080
Speaker 1: Joining US now linebackers are here. Frankly, it's the off season,

2
00:00:03,480 --> 00:00:05,000
Speaker 1: so this is the time where we don't get two

3
00:00:05,160 --> 00:00:07,280
Speaker 1: x's and o's, we talk about the player a little bit.

4
00:00:07,320 --> 00:00:10,040
Speaker 1: So let's go through your career a little bit. Three

5
00:00:10,119 --> 00:00:14,319
Speaker 1: time captain at Syracuse, three time only time in the

6
00:00:14,840 --> 00:00:18,040
Speaker 1: program that that's happened. You come out as a seventh rounder,

7
00:00:18,560 --> 00:00:22,360
Speaker 1: stick around special team. Fast forward to that, you hold

8
00:00:22,400 --> 00:00:25,400
Speaker 1: the single season record for tackles in the history of

9
00:00:25,440 --> 00:00:29,280
Speaker 1: the Indianapolis Colts. You're a starter, You signed a new contract.

10
00:00:29,960 --> 00:00:31,880
Speaker 1: Do you have to pinch yourself every now and again?

11
00:00:31,920 --> 00:00:33,720
Speaker 1: I'm just saying, you know, I know this is going

12
00:00:33,720 --> 00:00:35,720
Speaker 1: back a few years, but you are not supposed to

13
00:00:35,800 --> 00:00:37,839
Speaker 1: be where you are today, young man. No, no way,

14
00:00:37,960 --> 00:00:39,920
Speaker 1: no way. That's why I tell him. I'm like, man, look,

15
00:00:40,000 --> 00:00:42,240
Speaker 1: I said, I'm like, I'm not supposed to be here anyway,

16
00:00:42,280 --> 00:00:43,800
Speaker 1: So it's no telling how far I could take it.

17
00:00:43,840 --> 00:00:46,080
Speaker 1: But no, that's this guy working in my life. Man,

18
00:00:46,080 --> 00:00:48,400
Speaker 1: that's just that's just the blessings. And you know, me

19
00:00:48,479 --> 00:00:51,239
Speaker 1: just following his playing him, just taking over and you know,

20
00:00:51,360 --> 00:00:53,360
Speaker 1: just doing what I can with the seas he's playing it.

21
00:00:53,440 --> 00:00:55,560
Speaker 1: But you gotta be tough to stay in this game

22
00:00:55,600 --> 00:00:57,080
Speaker 1: for as long as you have. You have. No you

23
00:00:57,080 --> 00:00:59,120
Speaker 1: didn't miss games at Syracuse. I'm sure you didn't miss

24
00:00:59,120 --> 00:01:01,400
Speaker 1: games in high school. You haven't missed games in the pros.

25
00:01:01,440 --> 00:01:03,680
Speaker 1: You become a starter after that. I mean, the body

26
00:01:03,880 --> 00:01:06,399
Speaker 1: takes its toll. As far as this violent sport you've

27
00:01:06,480 --> 00:01:09,120
Speaker 1: chosen to call your livelihood, oh, no question, no question.

28
00:01:09,160 --> 00:01:10,840
Speaker 1: But I ain't gonna like I like that a lot.

29
00:01:10,840 --> 00:01:12,640
Speaker 1: I do, man, And I take pride in playing in

30
00:01:12,640 --> 00:01:14,840
Speaker 1: the games. Man, I just I know my teammate's going

31
00:01:14,880 --> 00:01:16,319
Speaker 1: to depend on me, so like for me to be

32
00:01:16,360 --> 00:01:18,040
Speaker 1: out there, I want them to. I want to always

33
00:01:18,040 --> 00:01:19,280
Speaker 1: be a guy that they know they can hang their

34
00:01:19,280 --> 00:01:21,800
Speaker 1: hat on they always get depend on. Consistency is like

35
00:01:21,840 --> 00:01:23,320
Speaker 1: my biggest thing. Man. That's all I really want to

36
00:01:23,360 --> 00:01:25,320
Speaker 1: do is consistently good, man, That's all I want to be.

37
00:01:25,440 --> 00:01:28,160
Speaker 1: Jeffrey just said last year, the toll of the season

38
00:01:28,920 --> 00:01:31,520
Speaker 1: definitely was taxing on your body, even though you racked

39
00:01:31,600 --> 00:01:33,920
Speaker 1: up all of those tackles and set the franchise record.

40
00:01:33,920 --> 00:01:36,560
Speaker 1: Like Jeffrey alluded to, how much time did you need

41
00:01:36,600 --> 00:01:40,360
Speaker 1: after the season is just sort of decompress and mentally

42
00:01:40,360 --> 00:01:43,640
Speaker 1: and physically get right after a disappointing team yse season

43
00:01:43,760 --> 00:01:46,319
Speaker 1: for the Colts last year, I mean mentally, um, you

44
00:01:46,360 --> 00:01:48,200
Speaker 1: definitely needed to take that step back, you know, just

45
00:01:48,280 --> 00:01:50,560
Speaker 1: kind of you know, recuperate obviously. You know we've had

46
00:01:50,560 --> 00:01:52,080
Speaker 1: some tough years, but last year was a little bit

47
00:01:52,080 --> 00:01:55,360
Speaker 1: of different. Um, you know, but physically it was only

48
00:01:55,360 --> 00:01:57,480
Speaker 1: so It's funny when you hurt, when you when you

49
00:01:57,600 --> 00:02:00,000
Speaker 1: banged up, it's only so much as arrested it's actually

50
00:02:00,160 --> 00:02:02,160
Speaker 1: gonna do. You know, there's only so much rehab is

51
00:02:02,160 --> 00:02:04,080
Speaker 1: actually gonna do. At some point you got to start

52
00:02:04,120 --> 00:02:06,320
Speaker 1: working through the pain. And I think that's a little

53
00:02:06,320 --> 00:02:07,840
Speaker 1: bit of like a metaphor kind of what we got

54
00:02:07,880 --> 00:02:10,000
Speaker 1: going on now. You know, we went through some things

55
00:02:10,000 --> 00:02:12,120
Speaker 1: and guess what, that shit still hurt, but guess what,

56
00:02:12,200 --> 00:02:13,400
Speaker 1: we got to work through it. And that's only way

57
00:02:13,400 --> 00:02:15,880
Speaker 1: you're gonna get stronger. So all right, zare Franklin joining

58
00:02:15,960 --> 00:02:18,040
Speaker 1: us now? Not to go on the dark cloud a

59
00:02:18,160 --> 00:02:20,400
Speaker 1: last season, But I want to talk about the learning process.

60
00:02:20,440 --> 00:02:22,480
Speaker 1: Some guys are gone, Gil, he's gone. He's not part

61
00:02:22,480 --> 00:02:25,200
Speaker 1: of this defense anymore. Yeah, how does this defense under

62
00:02:25,240 --> 00:02:28,720
Speaker 1: Gush Bradley again avoid what happened and let's say Dallas

63
00:02:28,760 --> 00:02:31,960
Speaker 1: last year, avoid what happened let's say in Minnesota last year.

64
00:02:32,440 --> 00:02:34,600
Speaker 1: I think for us, it's just you know, coming back

65
00:02:34,639 --> 00:02:36,840
Speaker 1: together as a unit, looking at each other out and

66
00:02:36,880 --> 00:02:39,680
Speaker 1: spending his time together and during the offseason, during the fall,

67
00:02:39,919 --> 00:02:41,919
Speaker 1: and really understanding that we're in it together. You know.

68
00:02:42,000 --> 00:02:44,840
Speaker 1: I think, you know, sometimes at certain points last year,

69
00:02:44,840 --> 00:02:47,280
Speaker 1: the pressures at a kind of the season kind of

70
00:02:47,280 --> 00:02:48,840
Speaker 1: started to put a lot of strain on us and

71
00:02:48,840 --> 00:02:50,520
Speaker 1: we kind of started to pick pick out each other

72
00:02:50,520 --> 00:02:52,280
Speaker 1: a little bit more, and you know, we start to

73
00:02:52,320 --> 00:02:54,560
Speaker 1: knitpicking stuff because you know, when you want the results

74
00:02:54,560 --> 00:02:56,400
Speaker 1: you want, we're all competitors, we're all reaching for that

75
00:02:56,520 --> 00:02:59,240
Speaker 1: perfection and that's just kind of all the standard that

76
00:02:59,240 --> 00:03:01,640
Speaker 1: we all have. So I thing just getting a new season,

77
00:03:01,680 --> 00:03:03,400
Speaker 1: get a chance to really refresh, getting a chance to

78
00:03:03,480 --> 00:03:05,560
Speaker 1: kind of look at it and come back objectively that look,

79
00:03:05,600 --> 00:03:07,600
Speaker 1: we played a lot of great ball, you know, and

80
00:03:07,639 --> 00:03:09,840
Speaker 1: it's hard to feel that way when you're not getting

81
00:03:09,840 --> 00:03:11,960
Speaker 1: the results that you want. But that's the beauty of

82
00:03:11,960 --> 00:03:13,560
Speaker 1: the offseason. You kind of get a chance to look

83
00:03:13,600 --> 00:03:16,280
Speaker 1: at the season, you know, like objectively and seeing like

84
00:03:16,320 --> 00:03:17,959
Speaker 1: what did you do good? And what did you do good.

85
00:03:18,000 --> 00:03:19,760
Speaker 1: So at this point, you know, it's all about all

86
00:03:19,800 --> 00:03:22,919
Speaker 1: about just all of us looking at ourselves individually. Okay,

87
00:03:22,919 --> 00:03:24,360
Speaker 1: what can we do to get better? What can we

88
00:03:24,360 --> 00:03:26,560
Speaker 1: do to improve on and coming together as a group

89
00:03:26,639 --> 00:03:28,799
Speaker 1: of RK where can we actually be elite and where

90
00:03:28,800 --> 00:03:30,760
Speaker 1: can we actually take those next steps? You know, Zayer,

91
00:03:30,880 --> 00:03:34,360
Speaker 1: you already talked about your relationship the infancy of that

92
00:03:34,400 --> 00:03:37,320
Speaker 1: relationship with Shane Steike and the new head coach of

93
00:03:37,320 --> 00:03:40,280
Speaker 1: the Indianapolis Colts, and you talked about the trust. The

94
00:03:40,280 --> 00:03:42,839
Speaker 1: trust has to go both ways. He has to earn

95
00:03:42,880 --> 00:03:45,440
Speaker 1: your trust and vice versa. The locker room has to

96
00:03:45,480 --> 00:03:47,680
Speaker 1: do that with him. How long does that take or

97
00:03:47,720 --> 00:03:51,360
Speaker 1: is that just an ongoing process as he now is

98
00:03:51,720 --> 00:03:54,400
Speaker 1: the guy for the first off season with the Colts. Well,

99
00:03:54,400 --> 00:03:56,880
Speaker 1: it's funny when gust first guy here, he asks, he

100
00:03:56,920 --> 00:03:59,360
Speaker 1: asks all of us, He said, do you have childlike faith?

101
00:03:59,480 --> 00:04:02,720
Speaker 1: Or do you need to be proven? You know? Right?

102
00:04:02,840 --> 00:04:04,960
Speaker 1: Do you do you whether it's see it right? And

103
00:04:05,000 --> 00:04:06,280
Speaker 1: I think it's got to be a lot of a

104
00:04:06,320 --> 00:04:08,280
Speaker 1: little bit of both. Um, you know, for us, it's

105
00:04:08,280 --> 00:04:11,320
Speaker 1: got you gotta just believe and trusting. Obviously, the organization

106
00:04:11,320 --> 00:04:12,880
Speaker 1: that they made the right choice. They did. They went

107
00:04:12,920 --> 00:04:14,720
Speaker 1: through the whole process and they got the guy that

108
00:04:14,720 --> 00:04:17,360
Speaker 1: we want. Obviously, was a great coach. We played against him, Um,

109
00:04:17,360 --> 00:04:19,159
Speaker 1: so we know he's talented, we know he's capable on

110
00:04:19,160 --> 00:04:21,440
Speaker 1: the field. But for us as having that trust in

111
00:04:21,520 --> 00:04:22,680
Speaker 1: him and that fifth for him that he's going to

112
00:04:22,800 --> 00:04:25,680
Speaker 1: lead us. That's what part of being a great followers

113
00:04:25,680 --> 00:04:28,279
Speaker 1: trusting the leader. But then for him, you know, obviously,

114
00:04:28,400 --> 00:04:30,080
Speaker 1: you know as he continues to build and work through

115
00:04:30,120 --> 00:04:32,040
Speaker 1: you know, the head coaching experience and stuff is just

116
00:04:32,400 --> 00:04:34,520
Speaker 1: building with us over time and us getting to know

117
00:04:34,600 --> 00:04:36,359
Speaker 1: him and him getting to know us, and um, you know,

118
00:04:36,400 --> 00:04:38,000
Speaker 1: that's just kind of how we're gonna come together. So

119
00:04:38,120 --> 00:04:40,560
Speaker 1: you're a little bit different in the linebacker room this year.

120
00:04:40,560 --> 00:04:43,240
Speaker 1: Bobbio Karrica gone to the New York Giants. A lot

121
00:04:43,279 --> 00:04:46,599
Speaker 1: of tackles under that that jersey for fer Carca, and

122
00:04:46,640 --> 00:04:48,640
Speaker 1: that's a tough void to field. But on the same

123
00:04:49,120 --> 00:04:51,480
Speaker 1: same page, we didn't have Shack Leonard last year. That's

124
00:04:51,520 --> 00:04:55,200
Speaker 1: a fact, So what is this what does his linebacker

125
00:04:55,279 --> 00:04:58,360
Speaker 1: room look like? Addition, if you will, of Shack Leonard

126
00:04:58,880 --> 00:05:03,080
Speaker 1: extraction about your character, man, Honestly, it's funny because I

127
00:05:03,120 --> 00:05:04,479
Speaker 1: feel like it's just a little bit more of a

128
00:05:04,480 --> 00:05:07,080
Speaker 1: clearer picture, you know, because before you know, it was

129
00:05:07,080 --> 00:05:10,880
Speaker 1: obviously you know, de Leonard, Bobby, Me and EJ. And

130
00:05:10,880 --> 00:05:12,719
Speaker 1: it was just like, man, this this room is just

131
00:05:12,760 --> 00:05:14,919
Speaker 1: so deep. We got so many guys. But you know,

132
00:05:14,960 --> 00:05:17,320
Speaker 1: obviously with de Leonard coming back, obviously me playing in

133
00:05:17,440 --> 00:05:19,120
Speaker 1: EJ back, it's just a little bit more of a

134
00:05:19,120 --> 00:05:21,880
Speaker 1: clearer picture, a lot more clearer roles. And I mean,

135
00:05:22,600 --> 00:05:24,760
Speaker 1: you know who who who Shack is is It kind

136
00:05:24,760 --> 00:05:27,039
Speaker 1: of speaks for himself. You know who he's been in

137
00:05:27,080 --> 00:05:28,960
Speaker 1: the league, and you know, me having that front row

138
00:05:29,000 --> 00:05:30,480
Speaker 1: seat and I understand the whole type of player that

139
00:05:30,520 --> 00:05:33,840
Speaker 1: he actually is. We missed him dearly, so that, yes,

140
00:05:33,880 --> 00:05:36,080
Speaker 1: what you're gonna miss Bobby. Bobby's a great player, you know,

141
00:05:36,160 --> 00:05:37,680
Speaker 1: made a lot of plays and that's my boy to

142
00:05:37,720 --> 00:05:40,000
Speaker 1: the to the end. But you know, having shot back

143
00:05:40,040 --> 00:05:41,480
Speaker 1: out of there, I think it's just gonna bring a

144
00:05:41,520 --> 00:05:43,800
Speaker 1: different dynamic. You know, I already told Shock my goals

145
00:05:43,880 --> 00:05:45,520
Speaker 1: is to be the best, So you know, I'm gonna

146
00:05:45,520 --> 00:05:47,000
Speaker 1: push him, he gonna push me, and that's just that's

147
00:05:47,000 --> 00:05:48,400
Speaker 1: just what it's gonna be. Yea, And you said you

148
00:05:48,440 --> 00:05:50,400
Speaker 1: guys were working out together in the off season down

149
00:05:50,480 --> 00:05:53,920
Speaker 1: in Florida and Tampa. Not doing the same workout per se,

150
00:05:54,000 --> 00:05:56,000
Speaker 1: but you were working out of the same place, getting

151
00:05:56,080 --> 00:05:59,680
Speaker 1: bigger and stronger and ready for the season. Intangible wise,

152
00:06:00,480 --> 00:06:03,520
Speaker 1: what are some things that you maybe this defense maybe

153
00:06:03,600 --> 00:06:07,840
Speaker 1: miss last year without with not having him in the lineup. Well, obviously,

154
00:06:07,960 --> 00:06:09,640
Speaker 1: you know, first of him was the ability to take

155
00:06:09,680 --> 00:06:12,239
Speaker 1: the ball away. You know, that's kind of what he eats, sleeps, breeze,

156
00:06:12,279 --> 00:06:14,599
Speaker 1: that's all, that's all he thinks about. And you know,

157
00:06:14,640 --> 00:06:16,760
Speaker 1: I think having you know, whenever you get a chance

158
00:06:16,760 --> 00:06:19,520
Speaker 1: to have you know, another dynamic playmaker on the field,

159
00:06:20,400 --> 00:06:22,919
Speaker 1: it just you know, raises the level of play if

160
00:06:22,960 --> 00:06:25,640
Speaker 1: everybody else around him. I think that's just why, you know,

161
00:06:25,839 --> 00:06:27,600
Speaker 1: having those impact players like that's what you could tell

162
00:06:27,640 --> 00:06:29,440
Speaker 1: what happened last year with Gilly on the field. Having

163
00:06:29,440 --> 00:06:31,799
Speaker 1: a guy like that's such an impact player making these plays,

164
00:06:31,839 --> 00:06:34,400
Speaker 1: it makes everybody else play that much better around him.

165
00:06:34,680 --> 00:06:37,560
Speaker 1: So here in the last South, I mean, in a

166
00:06:37,600 --> 00:06:40,040
Speaker 1: six month period, we'll call it, you've had three different

167
00:06:40,080 --> 00:06:44,640
Speaker 1: directives from the head coach Frank Wright, Jeff Saturday, now

168
00:06:44,680 --> 00:06:47,400
Speaker 1: Shane Stike is as a player as an athlete. Is

169
00:06:47,440 --> 00:06:50,080
Speaker 1: that tough to do because you know, the goals and such,

170
00:06:50,200 --> 00:06:51,720
Speaker 1: the words are a lot of the same and stuff,

171
00:06:51,720 --> 00:06:53,760
Speaker 1: But what these guys want to accomplish, and especially at

172
00:06:53,760 --> 00:06:56,279
Speaker 1: different times a year you've been going through it. Yeah,

173
00:06:56,400 --> 00:06:58,600
Speaker 1: I guess so, I guess you could say that, But

174
00:06:58,680 --> 00:07:00,320
Speaker 1: I don't really look at it like that. To me,

175
00:07:00,360 --> 00:07:03,760
Speaker 1: it's just different chapters of the same journey. You know.

176
00:07:03,800 --> 00:07:07,600
Speaker 1: Obviously with Shane coming in, he brings that fresh young energy,

177
00:07:07,720 --> 00:07:10,240
Speaker 1: different different perspective. Um. I think he did a great

178
00:07:10,280 --> 00:07:12,360
Speaker 1: job of kind of coming in and making sure it

179
00:07:12,440 --> 00:07:14,680
Speaker 1: felt like a breath of fresh air. You know, different pictures,

180
00:07:14,680 --> 00:07:18,200
Speaker 1: different things on the boards, and different understanding. But you know,

181
00:07:18,240 --> 00:07:19,640
Speaker 1: at the end of the day, it's all a ball,

182
00:07:19,680 --> 00:07:21,480
Speaker 1: you know, so we all got to come in here,

183
00:07:21,520 --> 00:07:22,920
Speaker 1: we all got a job to do, we all got

184
00:07:22,960 --> 00:07:25,640
Speaker 1: something to take care of. So, you know, for me

185
00:07:25,800 --> 00:07:28,640
Speaker 1: personally having guts that kind of eases the transition. But

186
00:07:29,080 --> 00:07:30,560
Speaker 1: you know, I just, you know, gott to let him

187
00:07:30,560 --> 00:07:31,880
Speaker 1: know that you know, he's gonna get the best version

188
00:07:31,920 --> 00:07:33,360
Speaker 1: of me, and all I just wanted the best version

189
00:07:33,360 --> 00:07:35,920
Speaker 1: of himself. Zaire Franklin is with US linebacker for the

190
00:07:35,960 --> 00:07:38,600
Speaker 1: Indianapolis Colts and Jeffrey kind of talked about this at

191
00:07:38,640 --> 00:07:41,280
Speaker 1: the beginning of the interview, But have you had had

192
00:07:41,320 --> 00:07:44,559
Speaker 1: a chance to reflect on getting the opportunity to start

193
00:07:44,560 --> 00:07:48,040
Speaker 1: for the first time, going through all the ups and

194
00:07:48,160 --> 00:07:51,920
Speaker 1: downs and the chaos of last season, unfortunately having to

195
00:07:52,040 --> 00:07:55,880
Speaker 1: endure the losing, but being the the franchise leader in

196
00:07:55,960 --> 00:07:59,800
Speaker 1: tackles for a single season for the Colts, how special

197
00:08:00,120 --> 00:08:02,920
Speaker 1: that to you. I mean, it's specially it's so funny.

198
00:08:02,920 --> 00:08:04,600
Speaker 1: I was just actually talking to Kenney about this yet

199
00:08:04,640 --> 00:08:06,720
Speaker 1: because he just got nominated to the Hall of Fame

200
00:08:06,880 --> 00:08:09,360
Speaker 1: of his conference, and I was telling I'm like, it's

201
00:08:09,360 --> 00:08:12,040
Speaker 1: so crazy, because you know, we as players and athletes,

202
00:08:12,080 --> 00:08:13,840
Speaker 1: all we do is focus on the next thing so much.

203
00:08:13,840 --> 00:08:16,560
Speaker 1: We're always just talking about how like you know, it's

204
00:08:16,840 --> 00:08:18,400
Speaker 1: as soon as you accomplish something, you don't even think

205
00:08:18,400 --> 00:08:19,840
Speaker 1: about you just all that's whatever. I'm just moving on

206
00:08:19,880 --> 00:08:22,600
Speaker 1: to the next thing. But I think it's important sometimes

207
00:08:22,640 --> 00:08:24,400
Speaker 1: you got to watch the good and the bad. You know,

208
00:08:24,560 --> 00:08:26,920
Speaker 1: I got a good play bad bad play tape, and

209
00:08:26,960 --> 00:08:28,400
Speaker 1: I think it's just important for me to watch the

210
00:08:28,440 --> 00:08:30,120
Speaker 1: players where I'm like, man, I can't believe you know,

211
00:08:30,120 --> 00:08:33,240
Speaker 1: it's fun to watch yourself doing something look at me, Yeah,

212
00:08:33,320 --> 00:08:34,840
Speaker 1: as much as you got to watch the bad to

213
00:08:34,920 --> 00:08:36,960
Speaker 1: kind of build on that. So I'm super thankful for

214
00:08:37,040 --> 00:08:38,800
Speaker 1: last year, you know. I think, you know, it was

215
00:08:38,840 --> 00:08:41,520
Speaker 1: great to obviously have that opportunity, you know, once I

216
00:08:41,559 --> 00:08:43,640
Speaker 1: got the chance into making the most of it. But

217
00:08:44,120 --> 00:08:46,200
Speaker 1: you know, to me, honestly, I feel like it's just

218
00:08:46,240 --> 00:08:48,240
Speaker 1: another level that I really could take it. It's another

219
00:08:48,280 --> 00:08:50,800
Speaker 1: it's a higher standard. I really hold myself too. I

220
00:08:50,800 --> 00:08:52,440
Speaker 1: don't know if that means breaking the record again, I

221
00:08:52,440 --> 00:08:54,360
Speaker 1: don't want to say that, but you know, I think

222
00:08:54,360 --> 00:08:55,959
Speaker 1: it's just you know, being a player that could help

223
00:08:55,960 --> 00:08:57,840
Speaker 1: this team win games, and that's really what I care about.

224
00:08:57,880 --> 00:09:01,520
Speaker 1: And you broke the record from from Jack Leonard how

225
00:09:01,600 --> 00:09:05,360
Speaker 1: much junk was being thrown around late in that season. Look,

226
00:09:05,360 --> 00:09:07,319
Speaker 1: it was it was a little looking. He'd actually the

227
00:09:07,360 --> 00:09:08,840
Speaker 1: first one to built it up. To me, I wasn't

228
00:09:08,840 --> 00:09:10,480
Speaker 1: even thinking about it that He was like, yeah, you

229
00:09:10,559 --> 00:09:12,440
Speaker 1: keep going, you might I'm like, bro, I wouldn't even

230
00:09:12,440 --> 00:09:14,360
Speaker 1: think about it. So but it's all good as water

231
00:09:14,440 --> 00:09:16,199
Speaker 1: under bridge. Now. Maybe maybe he'd take it back. I

232
00:09:16,200 --> 00:09:19,760
Speaker 1: don't though, can you believe I mean, in all seriousness.

233
00:09:19,760 --> 00:09:21,560
Speaker 1: Can you believe that you're going into your number six?

234
00:09:21,600 --> 00:09:23,520
Speaker 1: Oh my god, it's crazy. I mean, I feel like

235
00:09:23,600 --> 00:09:26,200
Speaker 1: you were drafted yesterday. I don't know how y'all feel,

236
00:09:26,240 --> 00:09:28,280
Speaker 1: but I'm sitting around here like, Bro, I can't believe.

237
00:09:28,320 --> 00:09:30,920
Speaker 1: It's like now, I feel like the older guy in

238
00:09:30,960 --> 00:09:32,559
Speaker 1: the room and I'm like, this is weird. It's all

239
00:09:32,600 --> 00:09:34,640
Speaker 1: guys around here. I'm like, man, this is a six

240
00:09:34,760 --> 00:09:37,600
Speaker 1: year in here. Bro. A lot of guys came and win,

241
00:09:37,640 --> 00:09:38,880
Speaker 1: a lot of a lot of changes, a lot of

242
00:09:38,880 --> 00:09:40,559
Speaker 1: a lot of wins, a lot of losses. But you know,

243
00:09:40,600 --> 00:09:42,480
Speaker 1: I'm thankful for everything. Though. All right, well, we heard

244
00:09:42,480 --> 00:09:44,280
Speaker 1: a little bird flew on the shoulder. Dan says you

245
00:09:44,320 --> 00:09:46,600
Speaker 1: might pick up the game of golf soon. Is this

246
00:09:46,640 --> 00:09:48,640
Speaker 1: what I'm here? I tell you, But yeah, that's what

247
00:09:48,679 --> 00:09:50,280
Speaker 1: I'm hearing. That's on my list. I ain't gonna lie

248
00:09:50,320 --> 00:09:51,480
Speaker 1: that's on my list. That's on my list. I go.

249
00:09:51,559 --> 00:09:52,960
Speaker 1: I gotta get my swing right. I don't know if

250
00:09:52,960 --> 00:09:54,960
Speaker 1: I need to swing lefty or righty, though I'm naturally

251
00:09:55,000 --> 00:09:58,040
Speaker 1: a lefty, but I feel like I might learn better

252
00:09:58,120 --> 00:10:00,400
Speaker 1: if because most people are right handed, so I might

253
00:10:00,880 --> 00:10:02,840
Speaker 1: Do you throw a baseball? Right handed or no, I

254
00:10:02,880 --> 00:10:04,720
Speaker 1: do everything left hand. I ain't gonna really, but I

255
00:10:04,760 --> 00:10:07,400
Speaker 1: fight right handed though. That's something, So maybe maybe this

256
00:10:07,480 --> 00:10:10,520
Speaker 1: might be one of those things. Play left handed? No,

257
00:10:10,600 --> 00:10:13,800
Speaker 1: I'm telling you play left handed? Is it better stole?

258
00:10:13,840 --> 00:10:15,920
Speaker 1: Fade on that thing? Play left hand? Al right? What

259
00:10:15,960 --> 00:10:18,120
Speaker 1: are you lefty? Right? I'm a righty? Okay, I got

260
00:10:18,120 --> 00:10:21,520
Speaker 1: one last question. Sucks both ways? All right? Put your

261
00:10:21,520 --> 00:10:24,400
Speaker 1: money up? Yeah, go right there? There, you go, right there.

262
00:10:24,480 --> 00:10:28,960
Speaker 1: He's going to my club to all right, what's easier

263
00:10:28,960 --> 00:10:31,480
Speaker 1: for you as a professional athlete, get a Major League

264
00:10:31,520 --> 00:10:34,559
Speaker 1: baseball hit a hit in a Major League Baseball game,

265
00:10:34,640 --> 00:10:36,800
Speaker 1: or hit a three pointer an NBA game would be

266
00:10:36,840 --> 00:10:39,680
Speaker 1: easier for you? For me? Yeah? For you, I'm gonna

267
00:10:39,679 --> 00:10:41,440
Speaker 1: put you in this position. Oh, I'm definitely a three.

268
00:10:41,960 --> 00:10:43,440
Speaker 1: I don't know. If you talk to T I'm left

269
00:10:43,440 --> 00:10:45,240
Speaker 1: a left corner pocket. That's like, that's like I got

270
00:10:45,240 --> 00:10:47,599
Speaker 1: my hot spots. I'm saying, I'm a corner shooter. You

271
00:10:47,640 --> 00:10:48,760
Speaker 1: know what I mean. I just got a fade on

272
00:10:48,760 --> 00:10:50,679
Speaker 1: the fast break. Let it rip, you know what I mean.

273
00:10:50,679 --> 00:10:53,040
Speaker 1: That's how I know. That's what I love it. He

274
00:10:53,120 --> 00:10:56,360
Speaker 1: ends with that. That's all I know. I know it.

275
00:10:56,600 --> 00:10:58,440
Speaker 1: I know it, well, Zaire, we gotta we gotta let

276
00:10:58,440 --> 00:11:01,200
Speaker 1: you go with this. What are yours for the remainder

277
00:11:01,200 --> 00:11:03,840
Speaker 1: of the off season workout program? And then once it

278
00:11:04,000 --> 00:11:05,880
Speaker 1: is over. I know I'm hitting the fast forward button

279
00:11:05,880 --> 00:11:08,880
Speaker 1: on your big time, But let's say it's it's mid June,

280
00:11:09,200 --> 00:11:11,160
Speaker 1: the mini camp is over. How are you going to

281
00:11:11,240 --> 00:11:14,240
Speaker 1: spend that period of time between the mini camp, the

282
00:11:14,280 --> 00:11:17,080
Speaker 1: off season workout program and training camp to get ready

283
00:11:17,120 --> 00:11:19,600
Speaker 1: for twenty twenty three and get the ball rolling on

284
00:11:19,640 --> 00:11:22,679
Speaker 1: the right direction? Um? Yeah, So you know, really, my

285
00:11:22,720 --> 00:11:24,480
Speaker 1: whole goal for this whole off season is really just

286
00:11:24,480 --> 00:11:27,400
Speaker 1: working on the fundamentals, cleaning myself up, getting back to

287
00:11:27,400 --> 00:11:30,679
Speaker 1: the basics, whether that's foot work, hands and different stuff.

288
00:11:30,720 --> 00:11:32,440
Speaker 1: Just continue to build on the little things that I

289
00:11:32,440 --> 00:11:34,600
Speaker 1: felt like I left slip maybe later in the year,

290
00:11:34,920 --> 00:11:37,040
Speaker 1: or things that I wish I was strongering throughout the year.

291
00:11:37,679 --> 00:11:39,160
Speaker 1: It just really kind of hold them in and make

292
00:11:39,200 --> 00:11:41,800
Speaker 1: those things second nature. And then when you kind of

293
00:11:41,840 --> 00:11:43,480
Speaker 1: go through that at that point, you kind of at

294
00:11:43,520 --> 00:11:45,400
Speaker 1: the end of June, at the end of mandatory many

295
00:11:45,679 --> 00:11:47,400
Speaker 1: at that point you kind of know where your weakness is,

296
00:11:47,400 --> 00:11:48,920
Speaker 1: where you really need to you know what your strengths

297
00:11:48,960 --> 00:11:50,880
Speaker 1: are what your weaknesses are, and then you make your

298
00:11:51,080 --> 00:11:53,720
Speaker 1: strengths unstoppable and you make your weaknesses better than than

299
00:11:53,800 --> 00:11:56,440
Speaker 1: it was. So that's really all the goal is. Lock

300
00:11:56,520 --> 00:11:59,200
Speaker 1: in for those last thirty something days before training camp

301
00:11:59,200 --> 00:12:01,520
Speaker 1: and then come into camp ready to roll. Guy's infectious

302
00:12:01,559 --> 00:12:04,320
Speaker 1: seven rounders aren't supposed to be around that long, and

303
00:12:04,400 --> 00:12:07,760
Speaker 1: this gentleman has proven I belong with the same team. Absolutely,

304
00:12:07,840 --> 00:12:09,599
Speaker 1: you're sick. Hey, well done, good luck at golf. This

305
00:12:09,720 --> 00:12:11,560
Speaker 1: officer appreciate it. Thank you, fellows.
