<v Speaker 1>To us fires touch style by waddle stuck into the

0:00:05.440 --> 0:00:09.440
<v Speaker 1>end zone of Miami Boy, tight froll, tight window. They

0:00:09.440 --> 0:00:11.760
<v Speaker 1>had to get that touchdown on that play they gain it.

0:00:15.200 --> 0:00:19.439
<v Speaker 1>What ends up? Dolphins And Welcome to the Drive Time Podcast,

0:00:19.680 --> 0:00:23.480
<v Speaker 1>part of the Miami Dolphins podcast network, covering your team,

0:00:23.520 --> 0:00:27.960
<v Speaker 1>your Miami Dolphins. How's it going? Everybody? I am your host,

0:00:28.080 --> 0:00:31.840
<v Speaker 1>Travis Wingfield And on today's show, we're right back into

0:00:31.840 --> 0:00:35.239
<v Speaker 1>free agency edition of the Drivetime Podcast. My guest today,

0:00:35.400 --> 0:00:38.519
<v Speaker 1>running back Raheem Mostert, will break down his game and

0:00:38.600 --> 0:00:41.760
<v Speaker 1>hear from him about football, his decision to join the

0:00:41.760 --> 0:00:45.160
<v Speaker 1>Miami Dolphins, coach McDaniel, and a heck of a lot

0:00:45.240 --> 0:00:48.200
<v Speaker 1>more from the Baptist Health Studios in the Baptist Health

0:00:48.200 --> 0:00:55.400
<v Speaker 1>Training Complex. This is the Drivetime Podcast, Dophins. So I

0:00:55.440 --> 0:00:57.200
<v Speaker 1>think a lot of you know by now that Raheem

0:00:57.240 --> 0:01:02.600
<v Speaker 1>Mostart has speed four days. He's also especially efficient running back.

0:01:02.880 --> 0:01:06.800
<v Speaker 1>Since entering the NFL, no running back with at least

0:01:06.880 --> 0:01:10.280
<v Speaker 1>two hundred carries has a better rushing average than Mostre's

0:01:10.319 --> 0:01:12.880
<v Speaker 1>five point seven YPC. And he's done that on two

0:01:13.560 --> 0:01:16.080
<v Speaker 1>four carries, one thousand and six hundred and ten yards

0:01:16.080 --> 0:01:19.319
<v Speaker 1>and eleven touchdowns on the ground, he has sixty eight

0:01:19.319 --> 0:01:22.119
<v Speaker 1>first downs. It's an impressive twenty three point nine percent

0:01:22.240 --> 0:01:25.399
<v Speaker 1>first down conversion rate. I mean first and ten. You

0:01:25.440 --> 0:01:27.520
<v Speaker 1>know that's a tough down to get first downs on.

0:01:27.600 --> 0:01:30.559
<v Speaker 1>He's doing that. He's converting short yardage almost a quarter

0:01:30.600 --> 0:01:32.440
<v Speaker 1>of a time his runs go for a first down.

0:01:32.640 --> 0:01:34.560
<v Speaker 1>Not a bad way to finish off a third down

0:01:34.640 --> 0:01:36.800
<v Speaker 1>run or to start a drive on first and ten.

0:01:37.040 --> 0:01:40.160
<v Speaker 1>But he also contributes in the passing game thirty six catches,

0:01:40.200 --> 0:01:43.080
<v Speaker 1>three hundred sixty one yards, three touchdowns, A couple of

0:01:43.120 --> 0:01:45.800
<v Speaker 1>big explosive plays there as well. And how about to

0:01:45.880 --> 0:01:48.560
<v Speaker 1>round out the entire game, eighty four career pass blocking

0:01:48.560 --> 0:01:51.880
<v Speaker 1>snaps four Raheem Mostert he's been charged with. There's four

0:01:51.920 --> 0:01:55.800
<v Speaker 1>pressures allowed over those eighty four reps per Pro Football Focus,

0:01:55.840 --> 0:01:59.040
<v Speaker 1>and Trent Williams, his former teammate there in San Francisco,

0:01:59.280 --> 0:02:02.520
<v Speaker 1>had a nice will nod about what he thinks of

0:02:02.560 --> 0:02:05.520
<v Speaker 1>most arts game, talking about his speed. Let's go ahead

0:02:05.520 --> 0:02:08.120
<v Speaker 1>and hear from Trent Williams on Raheem Mostert. I like

0:02:08.280 --> 0:02:10.560
<v Speaker 1>Raheem Moster man. I know a lot of people may

0:02:10.560 --> 0:02:12.760
<v Speaker 1>not think that, but to me, he the new age

0:02:12.800 --> 0:02:21.040
<v Speaker 1>Chris Johnson and like blocking form with that he like that.

0:02:21.880 --> 0:02:26.400
<v Speaker 1>Look up, nobody cares. Ain't nobody in NFL at a

0:02:26.440 --> 0:02:32.240
<v Speaker 1>faster ball carry a mouse power in the last two years. No, no, no,

0:02:32.280 --> 0:02:38.720
<v Speaker 1>as a running back, not even Unna as a players

0:02:39.120 --> 0:02:42.280
<v Speaker 1>as a player, bro look it up well over twent

0:02:44.720 --> 0:02:46.639
<v Speaker 1>So you hear those numbers there that he's spitting. That's

0:02:46.680 --> 0:02:49.519
<v Speaker 1>kind of our next thing here on the list. Room room, man,

0:02:49.520 --> 0:02:53.040
<v Speaker 1>this guy goes. The speed is quantifiable, like Trent Williams

0:02:53.040 --> 0:02:57.280
<v Speaker 1>mentioned there, through next Gen stats, and Mostert had the

0:02:57.320 --> 0:03:00.919
<v Speaker 1>first and second fastest recorded speeds of any player, as

0:03:00.919 --> 0:03:03.560
<v Speaker 1>Williams mentioned there, clocking in at twenty three point o

0:03:03.760 --> 0:03:07.000
<v Speaker 1>nine mph on an eight yard touchdown run in Week two,

0:03:07.240 --> 0:03:10.080
<v Speaker 1>which followed up a seventy six yard touchdown catch in

0:03:10.080 --> 0:03:12.760
<v Speaker 1>the season opener, with a top speed of twenty two

0:03:12.760 --> 0:03:15.720
<v Speaker 1>point seven three miles per hour on that catch and run.

0:03:15.800 --> 0:03:18.280
<v Speaker 1>So week one, week two, he puts the number one

0:03:18.320 --> 0:03:20.600
<v Speaker 1>and number two times for the entire season on the board,

0:03:20.840 --> 0:03:23.560
<v Speaker 1>and nobody else catches that the rest of the way.

0:03:23.639 --> 0:03:25.639
<v Speaker 1>And that eight yard touchdown run was the first play

0:03:25.680 --> 0:03:28.799
<v Speaker 1>of the game against the Jets last year in Week

0:03:28.919 --> 0:03:31.120
<v Speaker 1>number two, that will help your offense a little bit.

0:03:31.160 --> 0:03:33.520
<v Speaker 1>And then the touchdown catch was the first play of

0:03:33.560 --> 0:03:36.240
<v Speaker 1>the Niners first series in a game against the Cardinals.

0:03:36.280 --> 0:03:38.840
<v Speaker 1>So where he most got things going for that offense early?

0:03:39.160 --> 0:03:41.160
<v Speaker 1>And that's obviously going to go a long way towards

0:03:41.200 --> 0:03:43.240
<v Speaker 1>help when you win football games when you can put

0:03:43.280 --> 0:03:45.480
<v Speaker 1>seven points on the board quickly like that and let

0:03:45.480 --> 0:03:48.720
<v Speaker 1>your defense get after the quarterback. So Wherehee mostert? We

0:03:48.760 --> 0:03:51.320
<v Speaker 1>know that he was with Miami back in for a

0:03:51.360 --> 0:03:54.560
<v Speaker 1>brief period of time. He's now given the NFL eight years.

0:03:54.600 --> 0:03:58.080
<v Speaker 1>How unlikely is that spending time with four teams in

0:03:58.120 --> 0:04:02.160
<v Speaker 1>the National Football League before Fine that home in San Francisco.

0:04:03.440 --> 0:04:06.480
<v Speaker 1>This season in Miami's gonna be his eight campaign in

0:04:06.520 --> 0:04:09.560
<v Speaker 1>the National Football League. So how does one dig deep

0:04:09.600 --> 0:04:13.960
<v Speaker 1>and find the persistence to overcome repeated adversity? That's just

0:04:14.000 --> 0:04:16.640
<v Speaker 1>part of home starts DNA man quote. I've always been

0:04:16.640 --> 0:04:18.560
<v Speaker 1>a person with that drive to succeed, he said in

0:04:18.600 --> 0:04:21.040
<v Speaker 1>an article written by Tyler Doone. I never really had

0:04:21.120 --> 0:04:22.919
<v Speaker 1>much when I was younger. It was a hunger to

0:04:22.960 --> 0:04:25.880
<v Speaker 1>succeed and make it out. So, man, this guy is

0:04:25.880 --> 0:04:28.000
<v Speaker 1>why are the right way? He runs the right way

0:04:28.160 --> 0:04:30.599
<v Speaker 1>He's a big play waiting to happen, especially when it

0:04:30.640 --> 0:04:33.240
<v Speaker 1>comes to big plays like the Niners post season run

0:04:33.279 --> 0:04:35.440
<v Speaker 1>back in twenty nine team, when he piled up three

0:04:35.560 --> 0:04:38.560
<v Speaker 1>hundred and thirty six rushing yards and five touchdowns on

0:04:38.720 --> 0:04:42.000
<v Speaker 1>fifty three post season carries in those three playoff games.

0:04:42.200 --> 0:04:44.520
<v Speaker 1>He was an integral part to that entire run after

0:04:44.640 --> 0:04:47.440
<v Speaker 1>leading the team and rushing in the regular season. And

0:04:47.480 --> 0:04:50.200
<v Speaker 1>how about that NFC championship game he had against the

0:04:50.200 --> 0:04:52.640
<v Speaker 1>Green Bay Packers two and twenty yards on the ground

0:04:52.920 --> 0:04:55.120
<v Speaker 1>four scores and seven years ago, just kidding, just four

0:04:55.160 --> 0:04:57.800
<v Speaker 1>scores he scored on the ground in that game. Only

0:04:57.960 --> 0:05:00.080
<v Speaker 1>Eric Dickerson had more rushing yards in a scene go

0:05:00.160 --> 0:05:05.520
<v Speaker 1>playoff game, and only Ricky Waters had more rushing touchdowns

0:05:05.520 --> 0:05:11.080
<v Speaker 1>with five Like Garrett Blunt tied the four touchdowns, so

0:05:11.160 --> 0:05:12.960
<v Speaker 1>tied for a second for touchdowns in a game in

0:05:12.960 --> 0:05:16.360
<v Speaker 1>the playoffs and second overall in rushing yards in a

0:05:16.400 --> 0:05:19.920
<v Speaker 1>playoff game. And just for some posterity, former Dolphin Lamar

0:05:19.920 --> 0:05:22.360
<v Speaker 1>Smith had two d nine yards back in two thousand.

0:05:22.680 --> 0:05:26.200
<v Speaker 1>That's the third most all time in the National Football League.

0:05:26.279 --> 0:05:27.960
<v Speaker 1>Let's go ahead and finish up here with the cool story.

0:05:28.240 --> 0:05:30.719
<v Speaker 1>How about the surfing and the skateboarding. You know, a

0:05:30.760 --> 0:05:32.680
<v Speaker 1>few things are more thrilling in the national in the

0:05:32.720 --> 0:05:35.680
<v Speaker 1>National Football League than an eight yard touchdown rips something

0:05:35.720 --> 0:05:38.280
<v Speaker 1>that he has experienced a few times. But while most

0:05:38.360 --> 0:05:41.040
<v Speaker 1>NFL players are exceptional athlete and believe they can be

0:05:41.480 --> 0:05:44.159
<v Speaker 1>great pros on the hard wood in any other sport,

0:05:44.240 --> 0:05:47.320
<v Speaker 1>you give them. How about being offered a surfing contract.

0:05:47.360 --> 0:05:49.640
<v Speaker 1>Here's a quote from a story on The Athletic. I'd

0:05:49.680 --> 0:05:52.240
<v Speaker 1>be out there surfing your skateboarding on my own, not

0:05:52.279 --> 0:05:54.320
<v Speaker 1>really trying to make a scene or anything, and this

0:05:54.360 --> 0:05:56.080
<v Speaker 1>guy came up to me and wanted to offer me

0:05:56.120 --> 0:05:58.839
<v Speaker 1>a contract. He was intrigued. Basically, he talks about the

0:05:58.880 --> 0:06:01.920
<v Speaker 1>town most it does where he grew up, where it's

0:06:01.920 --> 0:06:04.960
<v Speaker 1>still car called shark Bite Capital of the World. I'll

0:06:04.960 --> 0:06:06.960
<v Speaker 1>go ahead and avoid that. We would go out there

0:06:07.000 --> 0:06:08.760
<v Speaker 1>and surf and they would buy on people and stuff.

0:06:08.800 --> 0:06:11.280
<v Speaker 1>They were just usually small sharks, but they mistake us

0:06:11.279 --> 0:06:13.479
<v Speaker 1>for food. I also went ahead and included a video

0:06:13.520 --> 0:06:15.680
<v Speaker 1>that he posted to his Instagram of him surfing at

0:06:15.800 --> 0:06:18.880
<v Speaker 1>y ki Ki a couple of years back on his Instagram,

0:06:18.880 --> 0:06:22.600
<v Speaker 1>So go check that out. Very fluid player, very fun player.

0:06:22.720 --> 0:06:24.400
<v Speaker 1>As you'll hear here in this interview with that I

0:06:24.440 --> 0:06:27.719

<v Speaker 1>I love Miami first and foremost. You know, I coming

0:07:27.360 --> 0:07:30.480
<v Speaker 1>down here during the off season, so um, you know

0:07:30.560 --> 0:07:33.920
<v Speaker 1>it's it's it's a whirlwind, but it's it's the right whirlwind.

0:07:34.120 --> 0:07:36.120
<v Speaker 1>So I asked Teddy this earlier because he's a Miami

0:07:36.240 --> 0:07:38.560
<v Speaker 1>native as well. A little further north, But what's the

0:07:38.640 --> 0:07:40.680
<v Speaker 1>what's the go to Miami thing? After you're done with

0:07:40.680 --> 0:07:42.800
<v Speaker 1>all your responsibilities here, what's the one thing you gotta

0:07:42.840 --> 0:07:46.040
<v Speaker 1>go do for some leisure and some fun. Um? Well, people,

0:07:46.720 --> 0:07:49.440
<v Speaker 1>people think it's a little bit corny, but there's a

0:07:49.520 --> 0:07:53.560
<v Speaker 1>spot called Wappo Taco right over in Helendale. Um, they

0:07:53.600 --> 0:07:56.200
<v Speaker 1>have the best tacos. I'm gonna go ahead and check

0:07:56.280 --> 0:08:01.360
<v Speaker 1>that spot out, you know, in my leisure time. So going,

0:08:01.520 --> 0:08:03.600
<v Speaker 1>So that's up next before we gotta finished this first. Okay,

0:08:04.160 --> 0:08:06.040
<v Speaker 1>Wappa Taco. But you mentioned being here at the Dolphins.

0:08:07.120 --> 0:08:10.040
<v Speaker 1>Much changed since then, new building, Davy to to Miami Gardens.

0:08:10.080 --> 0:08:12.320
<v Speaker 1>Bit of a change here, huh yeah, definitely a bit

0:08:12.320 --> 0:08:14.880
<v Speaker 1>of a change. I don't know if people really experienced

0:08:14.920 --> 0:08:18.120
<v Speaker 1>the full full change yet, but you know it was

0:08:18.240 --> 0:08:21.000
<v Speaker 1>nice seeing seeing uh, you know back in the day

0:08:21.040 --> 0:08:23.800
<v Speaker 1>where in Davy it was all the trophies and stuff

0:08:23.840 --> 0:08:27.480
<v Speaker 1>like that in the lobby area and the spiral staircase

0:08:27.480 --> 0:08:30.000
<v Speaker 1>and stuff like that going up into the the offices

0:08:30.080 --> 0:08:31.680
<v Speaker 1>and all that, and you know, it was a little

0:08:31.680 --> 0:08:34.640
<v Speaker 1>bit smaller over locker room. But you know, being here, man,

0:08:34.640 --> 0:08:37.599

0:08:44.800 --> 0:08:48.280
<v Speaker 1>new building, so new turf and all that indoor facilities

0:08:48.360 --> 0:08:51.520
<v Speaker 1>nice instead of the bubble, you know. Um, So it's

0:08:51.520 --> 0:08:53.360
<v Speaker 1>all it's all nice to see you man, It's it's

0:08:53.440 --> 0:08:57.080
<v Speaker 1>definitely growing pretty good backdrop there behind the problem. Not

0:08:57.080 --> 0:08:58.760
<v Speaker 1>not too bad to look at out there, No, not

0:08:58.880 --> 0:09:01.400
<v Speaker 1>at all. So you mentioned here again, coming back here,

0:09:01.400 --> 0:09:03.000
<v Speaker 1>how do you think you've grown as a player in

0:09:03.080 --> 0:09:06.720
<v Speaker 1>that time? Yeah, you know that was my rookie year. Um,

0:09:06.760 --> 0:09:09.920
<v Speaker 1>you know, I didn't, I didn't, I just I was undrafted,

0:09:10.200 --> 0:09:12.280
<v Speaker 1>um by the Eagles, and then I had just got

0:09:12.280 --> 0:09:15.760
<v Speaker 1>picked up by the Dolphins. Um. Actually the very first

0:09:15.800 --> 0:09:19.839
<v Speaker 1>after the very first game. Um, and I never forget, man,

0:09:19.880 --> 0:09:23.040
<v Speaker 1>I came here with nothing but Eagles gear on. Um.

0:09:23.320 --> 0:09:26.120
<v Speaker 1>I showed up with Joe and Charlie down there and

0:09:26.200 --> 0:09:29.480
<v Speaker 1>equipment room, and those dudes were just laughing at me

0:09:29.520 --> 0:09:31.800
<v Speaker 1>because that's all I had on my on me was

0:09:31.840 --> 0:09:34.000
<v Speaker 1>just nothing but Eagles year because I had traveled with

0:09:34.040 --> 0:09:35.880
<v Speaker 1>the team and you know, I'm just a rookie. I

0:09:35.920 --> 0:09:39.440
<v Speaker 1>don't know much about dressing up and yeah, just wearing

0:09:39.480 --> 0:09:41.079
<v Speaker 1>what I had, you know, all the free gear and

0:09:41.120 --> 0:09:42.960
<v Speaker 1>stuff like that. So it was it was nice, man.

0:09:43.520 --> 0:09:46.360
<v Speaker 1>But um, yeah, now it's it's all changed. You know.

0:09:46.480 --> 0:09:50.280
<v Speaker 1>I I understand the business aspect of the NFL and um,

0:09:50.400 --> 0:09:52.760
<v Speaker 1>you know, I'm I'm an eight year vet now, so

0:09:52.920 --> 0:09:56.560
<v Speaker 1>I'm I'm excited man, and um looking forward to this journey.

0:09:56.640 --> 0:09:58.679
<v Speaker 1>You know, there's another chapter in my in my book

0:09:58.760 --> 0:10:01.800
<v Speaker 1>that you know, it's hasn't been written yet, and I'm

0:10:01.920 --> 0:10:03.720
<v Speaker 1>I'm ready to write that. We got you hooked up

0:10:03.720 --> 0:10:06.160
<v Speaker 1>on the aqua hat here looking good the colors on. Now.

0:10:06.240 --> 0:10:08.439
<v Speaker 1>So you know, we talked about being from update by Daytona,

0:10:08.480 --> 0:10:11.320
<v Speaker 1>but what was the name of the city actually beach. Okay,

0:10:11.400 --> 0:10:13.200
<v Speaker 1>So I saw a story about you on the athletic

0:10:13.200 --> 0:10:15.000
<v Speaker 1>growing up that you were pretty nifty, not just on

0:10:15.040 --> 0:10:17.480
<v Speaker 1>a skateboard but also on a surfboard. Is there any

0:10:17.480 --> 0:10:20.120
<v Speaker 1>crossover between the footwork that goes into those two sports

0:10:20.120 --> 0:10:23.120
<v Speaker 1>with football? Uh? Yeah, I mean there's a lot of crossover.

0:10:23.160 --> 0:10:24.960
<v Speaker 1>You know, you have to you have to have good

0:10:25.000 --> 0:10:27.600
<v Speaker 1>balance first and foremost. I mean I know that you

0:10:27.600 --> 0:10:31.080
<v Speaker 1>you surfing skateboard as well, it's up your alley, so um, yeah,

0:10:31.120 --> 0:10:34.760
<v Speaker 1>and you can relate you know, skateboarder. Man's there's a

0:10:34.760 --> 0:10:37.800
<v Speaker 1>lot of different tricks that you can do. Um. And

0:10:37.920 --> 0:10:39.839
<v Speaker 1>you know, translate that into surf and surface is a

0:10:39.880 --> 0:10:43.840
<v Speaker 1>little bit easier. But you have to gauge a certain wave. Um.

0:10:44.080 --> 0:10:46.760
<v Speaker 1>And you know that's just that's just how it is, man.

0:10:46.800 --> 0:10:48.360
<v Speaker 1>You just go out there and just try to catch

0:10:48.400 --> 0:10:51.040
<v Speaker 1>a wave. So, you know, being able to transition those

0:10:51.080 --> 0:10:54.800
<v Speaker 1>things into football itself, you know, having good balance, good vision,

0:10:54.880 --> 0:10:57.200
<v Speaker 1>being able to you know, read a certain waves the

0:10:57.240 --> 0:10:59.280
<v Speaker 1>same thing as being able to read a certain hole.

0:10:59.400 --> 0:11:03.319
<v Speaker 1>So um, you know, there's there's different ways of maneuvering

0:11:03.360 --> 0:11:06.840
<v Speaker 1>in the NFL compared to like surfing or skateboarding. But

0:11:07.280 --> 0:11:09.760
<v Speaker 1>it's all relatively the same though. Yeah, I love that parallel.

0:11:09.800 --> 0:11:11.200
<v Speaker 1>I didn't think about the idea of the wave and

0:11:11.200 --> 0:11:13.600
<v Speaker 1>the offensive line kind of reading your blocks, reading your waves.

0:11:13.840 --> 0:11:15.880
<v Speaker 1>So I've been around a few beaches down here since

0:11:15.880 --> 0:11:18.200
<v Speaker 1>I moved to South Florida, and it's pretty flat out there.

0:11:18.240 --> 0:11:21.440
<v Speaker 1>What is there down here? Yeah? Um, not down here.

0:11:21.559 --> 0:11:24.480
<v Speaker 1>You know, once you get down into the south southern

0:11:24.640 --> 0:11:27.720
<v Speaker 1>or Southern Florida, man, this Uh, you're not really getting

0:11:27.720 --> 0:11:30.360
<v Speaker 1>those pop waves. You know where I'm from, up in

0:11:30.360 --> 0:11:34.679
<v Speaker 1>New samarna Um, there's the inlet and stuff stuff like that.

0:11:34.760 --> 0:11:37.600
<v Speaker 1>You know, that's where the rocks come. There's rocks and

0:11:37.640 --> 0:11:39.880
<v Speaker 1>stuff like that, and you could ride the waves, and

0:11:39.960 --> 0:11:43.000
<v Speaker 1>you know, the rocks create the waves. So essentially you're

0:11:43.040 --> 0:11:46.520
<v Speaker 1>getting good waves, especially in December and then those Hurricane

0:11:46.679 --> 0:11:51.040
<v Speaker 1>was Yeah, definitely get those go those like ten foot waves. Man, Yeah,

0:11:51.080 --> 0:11:54.280
<v Speaker 1>that scary stuff. I'm not quite that advantage about that.

0:11:54.360 --> 0:11:56.280
<v Speaker 1>So you're back here with Mike McDaniel in Miami now,

0:11:56.280 --> 0:11:58.360
<v Speaker 1>and you know he's you joined him after being with

0:11:58.400 --> 0:12:00.400
<v Speaker 1>him in San Francisco. What do you with the most

0:12:00.400 --> 0:12:03.439

<v Speaker 1>Mike as a person, you know, his tenacity. Um, people

0:12:06.320 --> 0:12:09.400
<v Speaker 1>don't really get to see that just yet. You know,

0:12:09.559 --> 0:12:11.800
<v Speaker 1>once once the season kicks off, once he's able to

0:12:11.880 --> 0:12:14.520

<v Speaker 1>to a certain standard now, um, and I just want

0:15:08.360 --> 0:15:10.680
<v Speaker 1>to go out there and just prove that. You know,

0:15:10.720 --> 0:15:13.040
<v Speaker 1>every time I touched the ball, you know, it's it's

0:15:13.040 --> 0:15:16.080
<v Speaker 1>gonna be either record breaking or you know, I'm I'm

0:15:16.120 --> 0:15:18.440
<v Speaker 1>just trying to help this team win. You know, the

<v Speaker 1>So you're the two fastest runs and according next Gen

0:15:37.880 --> 0:15:41.760
<v Speaker 1>stats back in as far as top speed reached. What

0:15:41.760 --> 0:15:43.640
<v Speaker 1>what does speed do for your game? Like? What the

0:15:43.760 --> 0:15:45.920
<v Speaker 1>role to speed play in your game as a running back? Yeah,

0:15:45.920 --> 0:15:49.040

0:15:49.120 --> 0:15:52.840
<v Speaker 1>and um, Mike or I keep saying, my coach, Mike

0:15:58.280 --> 0:16:00.960
<v Speaker 1>and you've got to understand that the scheme him of um,

0:16:01.000 --> 0:16:03.480
<v Speaker 1>put your foot in the ground and go. So UM,

0:16:03.600 --> 0:16:05.760
<v Speaker 1>I know it's gonna be a different transition for a

0:16:05.760 --> 0:16:08.640
<v Speaker 1>lot of guys, but you know it's all just relative

0:16:08.800 --> 0:16:10.840
<v Speaker 1>and and it's all the same. You know, just put

0:16:10.840 --> 0:16:13.120
<v Speaker 1>your foot in the ground and go and don't think

0:16:13.120 --> 0:16:16.080
<v Speaker 1>about it. Just hit the holes and and ride, ride away.

0:16:17.120 --> 0:16:19.400

0:16:33.960 --> 0:16:37.120
<v Speaker 1>last year they were they had one game where they
