15
00:00:34,720 --> 00:00:36,559
Speaker 1: you know, even going into your nine and they never

16
00:00:36,600 --> 00:00:40,080
Speaker 1: get old. You know, it felt like just being drafted again.

17
00:00:40,280 --> 00:00:42,360
Speaker 1: You know, it's just like dang, a new team, a

18
00:00:42,400 --> 00:00:47,279
Speaker 1: new season, new players, you know, same team though, but

Speaker 1: it's just it's just excited. It's exciting, man, just full

20
00:00:50,520 --> 00:00:50,920
Speaker 1: of joy.

21
00:00:51,320 --> 00:00:53,640
Speaker 2: When you came here last year, did you really know

22
00:00:53,680 --> 00:00:57,040
Speaker 2: what to expect? I mean, man, you had a magical season,

23
00:00:57,120 --> 00:00:59,360
Speaker 2: to say the least, like this whole team did. Did

24
00:00:59,400 --> 00:01:01,280
Speaker 2: you have any idea that that was gonna happen.

25
00:01:02,240 --> 00:01:05,800
Speaker 1: I mean I can only imagine, you know. I just

26
00:01:05,920 --> 00:01:08,000
Speaker 1: I just hang my hat on the work that I

27
00:01:08,080 --> 00:01:12,080
Speaker 1: put in up until that point. So whenever the opportunity

28
00:01:12,360 --> 00:01:14,680
Speaker 1: was gonna that was gonna be there or was it

29
00:01:14,760 --> 00:01:16,479
Speaker 1: going to be there, I was gonna be ready for it.

30
00:01:16,720 --> 00:01:19,080
Speaker 1: So I don't know what that looked like, or how

31
00:01:19,120 --> 00:01:21,480
Speaker 1: that looked if it was running back, if it was teams,

32
00:01:22,360 --> 00:01:24,160
Speaker 1: what role it will be. I don't know. Only thing

33
00:01:24,200 --> 00:01:26,400
Speaker 1: I could control is the work that I put in

34
00:01:26,920 --> 00:01:31,080
Speaker 1: you know, off season, OTA's and camp, and then everything

35
00:01:31,080 --> 00:01:32,280
Speaker 1: else just falls where it may.

36
00:01:32,760 --> 00:01:34,759
Speaker 2: And when you pulled up, there was some familiarity because

37
00:01:34,760 --> 00:01:36,520
Speaker 2: of you and Anthony Lynn's relationship.

38
00:01:36,760 --> 00:01:37,840
Speaker 1: Talk about that a little.

39
00:01:37,640 --> 00:01:39,560
Speaker 2: Bit and what Anthony Lynn has been able to do

40
00:01:39,640 --> 00:01:41,560
Speaker 2: for this team because you see him walking around. I

41
00:01:41,560 --> 00:01:43,360
Speaker 2: mean it's crazy to think, man, that is a former

42
00:01:43,720 --> 00:01:46,520
Speaker 2: NFL head coach and he's here helping y'all get better. Man,

43
00:01:46,520 --> 00:01:48,720
Speaker 2: what has Anthony Lynn been like in that running back room?

44
00:01:48,800 --> 00:01:50,800
Speaker 1: Yeah? Man, Like you said, he's a former head coach,

45
00:01:50,840 --> 00:01:53,160
Speaker 1: he's a former player, so he you know, he's able

46
00:01:53,200 --> 00:01:54,920
Speaker 1: to see the game like we see it, and he's

47
00:01:54,960 --> 00:01:56,760
Speaker 1: able to see it as a coach, so we get

48
00:01:57,560 --> 00:02:01,560
Speaker 1: two perspectives from it. Just him walking around and just

49
00:02:01,560 --> 00:02:03,880
Speaker 1: having that football knowledge. That's what it's about. You know,

50
00:02:04,120 --> 00:02:06,160
Speaker 1: he can help every single position. And then in the

51
00:02:06,600 --> 00:02:09,200
Speaker 1: running back room, we're always going to be prepared. We're

52
00:02:09,200 --> 00:02:12,560
Speaker 1: always prepared every single week, every single practice, and it's

53
00:02:12,600 --> 00:02:13,799
Speaker 1: just great to have him around.

54
00:02:13,960 --> 00:02:16,240
Speaker 2: Echold will always being prepared. Well, this show is called

55
00:02:16,280 --> 00:02:18,600
Speaker 2: next Man Up, and you exemplified that.

56
00:02:18,800 --> 00:02:19,800
Speaker 1: All season long.

57
00:02:20,120 --> 00:02:23,480
Speaker 2: How do you stay mentally and ready to PREPICTU Everybody's different, right,

58
00:02:23,480 --> 00:02:25,520
Speaker 2: everybody has a different way that they stay ready.

59
00:02:25,520 --> 00:02:25,760
Speaker 1: With you.

60
00:02:25,880 --> 00:02:27,800
Speaker 2: Man, when your number was called, it seemed like every

61
00:02:27,800 --> 00:02:29,320
Speaker 2: time you rose to the occasion.

62
00:02:29,720 --> 00:02:33,480
Speaker 1: I know that can't be easy, man, it just became happy. Honestly,

63
00:02:33,840 --> 00:02:36,560
Speaker 1: Like I remember in my rookie year, Man, I was

64
00:02:36,560 --> 00:02:38,840
Speaker 1: on practice squad. I mean like first three years I

65
00:02:38,880 --> 00:02:42,480
Speaker 1: was on practice squad, four years practice squad. It just

66
00:02:42,520 --> 00:02:45,000
Speaker 1: come down to, Man, I forget what coach told me,

67
00:02:45,080 --> 00:02:47,440
Speaker 1: but he was just like, man, no matter what if

68
00:02:47,440 --> 00:02:50,359
Speaker 1: you whatever, whatever status you on right now, just make

69
00:02:50,400 --> 00:02:52,160
Speaker 1: sure you prepare because the last thing you want to

70
00:02:52,160 --> 00:02:54,880
Speaker 1: do is be out there and you don't know what's

71
00:02:54,919 --> 00:02:56,880
Speaker 1: going on. You know, I didn't know how the NFL

72
00:02:56,960 --> 00:02:58,799
Speaker 1: worked early on. You know, if you get a call,

73
00:02:58,840 --> 00:03:00,600
Speaker 1: you gotta play that for that week, I thought it

74
00:03:00,639 --> 00:03:03,639
Speaker 1: was kind of just like a red shirt my rookie year,

75
00:03:03,680 --> 00:03:05,240
Speaker 1: you know, coming out of coming like okay, I'm not

76
00:03:05,280 --> 00:03:07,920
Speaker 1: on the feed d I'm not playing. But he was like,

77
00:03:08,520 --> 00:03:11,359
Speaker 1: take these reps like game reps and practice like this

78
00:03:11,440 --> 00:03:14,120
Speaker 1: is your game day. You know when we're in these meetings,

79
00:03:14,120 --> 00:03:16,240
Speaker 1: I'm talking to you too. I'm not just talking to

80
00:03:16,280 --> 00:03:18,320
Speaker 1: the starter or the backup that's play. I'm talking to

81
00:03:18,320 --> 00:03:20,920
Speaker 1: you too. So I always took that to heart. I'm like,

82
00:03:21,040 --> 00:03:24,440
Speaker 1: damn okay. And then one game I got called up.

83
00:03:25,480 --> 00:03:28,760
Speaker 1: It was on a Friday, and and coaches like, I

84
00:03:28,800 --> 00:03:30,760
Speaker 1: told you just be ready. It's week ten. You was

85
00:03:30,800 --> 00:03:32,919
Speaker 1: on price called week ten. You finally got your call, man,

86
00:03:33,080 --> 00:03:35,760
Speaker 1: just just And so I always kept that mindset, just

87
00:03:35,800 --> 00:03:38,840
Speaker 1: being like, man, I don't want to be unprepared. So

88
00:03:38,840 --> 00:03:41,040
Speaker 1: I'd rather do more that week, or I'll rather train

89
00:03:41,120 --> 00:03:43,800
Speaker 1: harder in the offseason. So when the game coming, where

90
00:03:43,840 --> 00:03:47,240
Speaker 1: that moment comes, fourth quarter, you know it's game on

91
00:03:47,320 --> 00:03:49,560
Speaker 1: the line, Like Okay, I've already been here before I

92
00:03:49,600 --> 00:03:52,360
Speaker 1: can go out there and play with poise, play calm,

93
00:03:52,720 --> 00:03:56,720
Speaker 1: and so just being raised is what I always hung

94
00:03:56,800 --> 00:03:57,280
Speaker 1: my head on.

95
00:03:57,840 --> 00:03:59,680
Speaker 2: And it's easier sit than done right because I mean,

96
00:03:59,680 --> 00:04:02,440
Speaker 2: you're very confident. Man, you're an NFL player. When you're

97
00:04:02,480 --> 00:04:04,800
Speaker 2: getting cut, when you're going on practice squads, man, that

98
00:04:04,920 --> 00:04:07,280
Speaker 2: has to build a little chip on your shoulder. Man,

99
00:04:07,280 --> 00:04:08,920
Speaker 2: do you do you carry a chip on your shoulder?

100
00:04:08,960 --> 00:04:11,240
Speaker 1: Like approve it type deal? For sure, it's not even improved,

101
00:04:11,280 --> 00:04:13,600
Speaker 1: it's not even improved, but definitely a chip on my shoulder.

102
00:04:13,800 --> 00:04:15,960
Speaker 1: Like I remember every team that cuts me, you know,

103
00:04:16,400 --> 00:04:18,799
Speaker 1: I remember every team like I remember all those different

104
00:04:18,839 --> 00:04:21,400
Speaker 1: type of things. Just just to keep that edge that

105
00:04:21,480 --> 00:04:23,279
Speaker 1: I just to keep that edge that I play with

106
00:04:23,360 --> 00:04:25,599
Speaker 1: every single day or practice with every single day, Like

107
00:04:25,680 --> 00:04:27,919
Speaker 1: you know, like, hey, then they cut you on Sunday,

108
00:04:27,960 --> 00:04:28,760
Speaker 1: So what you're gonna go?

109
00:04:28,800 --> 00:04:28,880
Speaker 2: Do?

110
00:04:29,320 --> 00:04:31,880
Speaker 1: You know? I'm playing games with myself in my mind

111
00:04:31,960 --> 00:04:34,320
Speaker 1: just to get me going like yeah, you're right, like

112
00:04:34,400 --> 00:04:37,159
Speaker 1: you got to go show up this week. So that's

113
00:04:37,200 --> 00:04:38,240
Speaker 1: that's where I'm met with it.

114
00:04:38,400 --> 00:04:38,560
Speaker 2: Man.

115
00:04:38,760 --> 00:04:40,120
Speaker 1: Just just staying ready.

116
00:04:40,279 --> 00:04:42,039
Speaker 2: It's crazy those things we have to do to stay

117
00:04:42,040 --> 00:04:44,960
Speaker 2: ready and stay motivated. But now you're in a situation

118
00:04:45,080 --> 00:04:48,120
Speaker 2: now where you got a team that kept you yeah

119
00:04:48,360 --> 00:04:50,440
Speaker 2: and wanted your back, and now you're here now, So

120
00:04:50,560 --> 00:04:53,160
Speaker 2: where are you going to get that motivation from now?

121
00:04:53,200 --> 00:04:54,800
Speaker 2: Because you're looking at all those other teams. I forgot

122
00:04:54,839 --> 00:04:56,839
Speaker 2: about you. But now you're in a place that loves you,

123
00:04:56,880 --> 00:04:58,559
Speaker 2: that honors you, that wants you to be here.

124
00:04:58,800 --> 00:05:01,080
Speaker 1: So how does that mentality change now? I'm even more

125
00:05:01,160 --> 00:05:03,080
Speaker 1: hungry because I want to. I want to I want

126
00:05:03,120 --> 00:05:04,440
Speaker 1: to know. I want them to know that they was

127
00:05:04,520 --> 00:05:07,200
Speaker 1: right making this decision. So in this city is right.

128
00:05:07,800 --> 00:05:11,120
Speaker 1: So I work harder, you know, just because you get

129
00:05:11,160 --> 00:05:13,039
Speaker 1: to the my outside, like, how how far can I

130
00:05:13,080 --> 00:05:15,560
Speaker 1: really push this thing? How much work can I really

131
00:05:15,600 --> 00:05:17,000
Speaker 1: put in? You know, I don't want to let my

132
00:05:17,040 --> 00:05:20,320
Speaker 1: teammates or my coaches down, or the city down. You know,

133
00:05:20,440 --> 00:05:22,560
Speaker 1: we have a great team, and I just looked to

134
00:05:22,640 --> 00:05:23,960
Speaker 1: the right and the left of me. I'm like, man,

135
00:05:24,000 --> 00:05:25,880
Speaker 1: these guys put in work too, Like I can't let

136
00:05:25,880 --> 00:05:29,000
Speaker 1: my guys down. So that's that's my motivation this year.

137
00:05:29,520 --> 00:05:31,479
Speaker 1: You know, I want to make sure that we go

138
00:05:31,560 --> 00:05:34,120
Speaker 1: out there every single Sunday and put our best foot forward.

139
00:05:34,320 --> 00:05:37,160
Speaker 1: And you know, whatever role is going to be there,

140
00:05:37,200 --> 00:05:40,080
Speaker 1: whatever leadership roles. You know, I'll be there for it,

141
00:05:40,400 --> 00:05:41,360
Speaker 1: and it's got to be a benefit.

142
00:05:41,400 --> 00:05:43,000
Speaker 2: Fore you got offensive guys Like I was talking to

143
00:05:43,080 --> 00:05:45,520
Speaker 2: Zach Ertzy he was mentioned how Kingsbury this is the

144
00:05:45,560 --> 00:05:48,400
Speaker 2: second time being in the same offensive system. Yeah, that's

145
00:05:48,440 --> 00:05:50,320
Speaker 2: not always normal, man, Some guys are in a different

146
00:05:50,320 --> 00:05:52,880
Speaker 2: system each and every year. You're a little familiar with that.

147
00:05:53,360 --> 00:05:55,200
Speaker 2: Now that you get to be in this system again, Man,

149
00:05:57,440 --> 00:05:59,440
Speaker 2: to the future of this offense, getting able to run

150
00:05:59,480 --> 00:06:01,000

00:06:17,360 --> 00:06:20,280
Speaker 1: top of that foundation, you know, just the whole off

158
00:06:20,320 --> 00:06:24,320
Speaker 1: season with the same coaching staff, the same crew, you know,

159
00:06:24,560 --> 00:06:26,880
Speaker 1: just just being able to build and I just think

160
00:06:26,880 --> 00:06:28,800
Speaker 1: we could take this as far as we want to

161
00:06:28,839 --> 00:06:31,839
Speaker 1: take it. But it takes work. You know, It's just

162
00:06:31,880 --> 00:06:33,680
Speaker 1: we're not going to just wake up and be like, hey,

163
00:06:34,440 --> 00:06:36,400
Speaker 1: we could just hang our hat on last year like

164
00:06:36,480 --> 00:06:38,880
Speaker 1: last year's last year, it's a whole new season, whole

165
00:06:38,920 --> 00:06:42,520
Speaker 1: new coaches, whole new schedule. You know, everything is brand new.

166
00:06:42,600 --> 00:06:44,320
Speaker 1: So we just got to continue to put the work

167
00:06:44,320 --> 00:06:46,880
Speaker 1: in and you know, set our goals and try and

168
00:06:46,920 --> 00:06:47,960
Speaker 1: sore as high as we can.

169
00:06:48,560 --> 00:06:50,200
Speaker 2: What was the coolest thing about the season to me

170
00:06:50,360 --> 00:06:53,080
Speaker 2: last year watching this offense was the way y'all rallied

171
00:06:53,160 --> 00:06:54,200
Speaker 2: behind Jayden Gains.

172
00:06:54,400 --> 00:06:55,280
Speaker 1: That's a rookie quarterback.

173
00:06:55,320 --> 00:06:57,200
Speaker 2: That's a guy that hasn't done much in this league yet,

174
00:06:57,279 --> 00:06:59,640
Speaker 2: but y'all treated him like he was a veteran, like

175
00:06:59,680 --> 00:07:01,880
Speaker 2: he will the leader man, and it looked great doing it.

176
00:07:01,880 --> 00:07:04,760
Speaker 2: Talk about Jaden Daniels in that huddle, what you've seen

177
00:07:04,760 --> 00:07:06,920
Speaker 2: from him in this locker room that makes him such

178
00:07:06,920 --> 00:07:08,360
Speaker 2: a special quarterback man.

179
00:07:08,400 --> 00:07:13,520
Speaker 1: His poise, his confidence, silent assassin. You know, he's not

180
00:07:13,600 --> 00:07:15,520
Speaker 1: gonna say too much, but when you see them that

181
00:07:16,000 --> 00:07:18,760
Speaker 1: looking as I remember just just that Bengals game when

182
00:07:18,760 --> 00:07:21,640
Speaker 1: it was down there like four minutes left and it

183
00:07:21,720 --> 00:07:23,960
Speaker 1: was fourth down and he's like, no, like let's go

184
00:07:24,000 --> 00:07:26,600
Speaker 1: get this. You got to court. Well, you got a QB.

185
00:07:26,760 --> 00:07:30,000
Speaker 1: With that confidence, everybody else is just gonna spread, you know,

186
00:07:30,760 --> 00:07:33,960
Speaker 1: and just rallying behind him because we could believe in him.

187
00:07:33,960 --> 00:07:36,000
Speaker 1: He got the talent, he got the leadership. You know,

188
00:07:36,240 --> 00:07:38,200
Speaker 1: you know what he can do on that field, and

189
00:07:38,240 --> 00:07:40,840
Speaker 1: he proves it, you know, in the classroom, showing up early,

190
00:07:41,360 --> 00:07:44,960
Speaker 1: in the weight room, locker room, on the field obviously,

191
00:07:45,480 --> 00:07:47,320
Speaker 1: you know. So it's just easy to rally around a

192
00:07:47,360 --> 00:07:47,880
Speaker 1: guy like that.

193
00:07:48,680 --> 00:07:51,560
Speaker 2: And the fans really rallied around him, around all you gots. Yeah,

194
00:07:51,680 --> 00:07:53,280
Speaker 2: one thing you've been hearing it. I talked to Will
