00:01:24,959 --> 00:01:27,840
Speaker 4: adversity that they've been through, you know, just within their

35
00:01:27,840 --> 00:01:30,880
Speaker 4: faith and personally. So you know, uh, don't want to

Speaker 4: in our faith this year. So I'm extremely happy for them.

41
00:01:46,600 --> 00:01:48,440
Speaker 3: As you look back at your funnel year of Michigan,

42
00:01:48,440 --> 00:01:50,080
Speaker 3: how would you evaluate your own performance?

43
00:01:50,160 --> 00:01:53,000
Speaker 4: You know what, it wasn't up to my standards, you know,

44
00:01:53,960 --> 00:01:56,000
Speaker 4: but uh, you know, I can always always look at

45
00:01:56,040 --> 00:01:58,400
Speaker 4: myself in the maricks myself, what could have done better?

46
00:01:58,840 --> 00:02:00,480
Speaker 4: You know, there's a lot of things I could have

47
00:02:00,480 --> 00:02:02,040
Speaker 4: done better. And there's a lot of things that I

48
00:02:02,080 --> 00:02:04,080
Speaker 4: was proud of myself for being able to do and

49
00:02:04,160 --> 00:02:07,120
Speaker 4: uh and just staying Firman and being a leader amongst

50
00:02:07,160 --> 00:02:10,240
Speaker 4: the team. So was the year with the what I

51
00:02:10,280 --> 00:02:12,960
Speaker 4: expected it to be and the outcome absolutely not but

52
00:02:13,720 --> 00:02:16,440
Speaker 4: being a house station that was a national championship. So

53
00:02:17,120 --> 00:02:20,639
Speaker 4: you know, uh that I can't get no better than that.

54
00:02:21,680 --> 00:02:21,800
Speaker 7: Uh.

55
00:02:21,960 --> 00:02:24,079

56
00:02:24,080 --> 00:02:25,800
Speaker 3: going to participate here, he's a little banged up, but

57
00:02:25,960 --> 00:02:28,680
Speaker 3: give us your inside look at him in terms of

58
00:02:28,720 --> 00:02:30,840
Speaker 3: why you think he's going to be a successful.

59
00:02:30,600 --> 00:02:33,360
Speaker 4: Yeah, absolutely, he's He's what the NFL needs in the

60
00:02:33,400 --> 00:02:36,600
Speaker 4: mode of getting downhill and getting those extra yards. So

61
00:02:36,760 --> 00:02:39,960
Speaker 4: every team needs a big back in the scat back,

62
00:02:40,120 --> 00:02:43,840
Speaker 4: and he brings that big back aspect to the to

63

Speaker 4: He's willing to play special teams, did it for four

66
00:02:48,960 --> 00:02:50,200
Speaker 4: or five years in Michigan.

67
00:02:50,320 --> 00:02:52,320
Speaker 8: So he's an ultimate teammate too.

68
00:02:53,000 --> 00:02:55,320
Speaker 3: So you got Mike Kafka, our offensive coordinator, as your

69
00:02:55,320 --> 00:02:56,839

70
00:02:56,880 --> 00:02:58,639
Speaker 3: to learn from him over the last forty eight hours

71
00:02:58,720 --> 00:02:59,040
Speaker 3: or so.

72
00:02:59,120 --> 00:03:02,320
Speaker 8: It's been it's been wonderful. Uh, you know, I know

Speaker 8: a lot.

00:03:02,960 --> 00:03:05,760
Speaker 4: I know quite a few about the about the Giants

00:03:05,760 --> 00:03:08,800
Speaker 4: and you know, especially the rich history that the Giants have.

76

Speaker 4: organized it and uh, it's it's wonderful and it's and

79
00:03:20,200 --> 00:03:22,600

00:03:23,160 --> 00:03:24,040
Speaker 2: What are your goals this week?

81
00:03:24,040 --> 00:03:26,400
Speaker 3: What do you want to show NFL coaches and scouts

82
00:03:26,480 --> 00:03:29,079
Speaker 3: not just on the field, but also in your meetings

83
00:03:29,120 --> 00:03:29,720
Speaker 3: with them on the side.

84
00:03:29,720 --> 00:03:31,560
Speaker 4: I mean, I'm just I'm just going to be myself.

85
00:03:31,600 --> 00:03:34,120
Speaker 4: You know, I'm not changing up for nobody. You know,

86
00:03:34,160 --> 00:03:36,760
Speaker 4: I'm just gonna go out there and have fun today,

87
00:03:36,920 --> 00:03:39,440
Speaker 4: you know, you know, just do the absolute best to

88
00:03:39,480 --> 00:03:43,600
Speaker 4: prove myself today and ultimately just continue to be myself.

89
00:03:43,840 --> 00:03:46,800
Speaker 3: Now, it's funny watching practices during the week here. Over

90
00:03:46,840 --> 00:03:49,120
Speaker 3: the years, I have trouble figuring out running backs.

91
00:03:49,000 --> 00:03:52,600
Speaker 2: Right, Okay, trying to tackle you, that's the position, right,

92
00:03:52,640 --> 00:03:54,280
Speaker 2: You're trying not to be tackled. No one trying to

93
00:03:54,280 --> 00:03:55,080
Speaker 2: tack you in practice.

94
00:03:55,080 --> 00:03:58,320
Speaker 3: So as a running back, what do you really focus

95
00:03:58,320 --> 00:04:00,240
Speaker 3: in on in these practices that you want to show

96
00:04:00,280 --> 00:04:01,600
Speaker 3: coaches and stuff.

97
00:04:01,640 --> 00:04:04,160
Speaker 2: Is it just like quickness and like athletic trades? What

98
00:04:04,160 --> 00:04:05,119
Speaker 2: are you trying to think?

99
00:04:05,280 --> 00:04:07,680
Speaker 4: The main thing for me today is like how quick

100
00:04:07,720 --> 00:04:09,800
Speaker 4: of a turnaround you have to learn a new playbook?

101
00:04:10,240 --> 00:04:13,360
Speaker 4: So just mastering that and like not making ms, you

102
00:04:13,360 --> 00:04:15,880
Speaker 4: just showing the coaches that, like how smart you are

103
00:04:15,960 --> 00:04:18,400
Speaker 4: that you could be able to learn the playbook super fast.

104
00:04:19,600 --> 00:04:21,800
Speaker 4: You know, the ability to out run and pass protect

105
00:04:21,839 --> 00:04:23,880
Speaker 4: when you have the opportunity, and you show that, and

106
00:04:24,400 --> 00:04:26,360
Speaker 4: you know, just bursting through the line of scrimmage and

107
00:04:26,440 --> 00:04:28,240
Speaker 4: just showing really good practice habits.

108
00:04:28,680 --> 00:04:32,400
Speaker 3: Anything that you've heard either from you know, scouts or

109
00:04:32,480 --> 00:04:34,480
Speaker 3: just read on the internet that people say about your

110
00:04:34,480 --> 00:04:37,040
Speaker 3: game and you roll your eyes and like, that's not

111
00:04:37,120 --> 00:04:37,719
Speaker 3: true at all.

112
00:04:37,800 --> 00:04:38,880
Speaker 2: I'm good at that.

113
00:04:39,000 --> 00:04:40,680
Speaker 3: And then anything that that you kind of want to

114
00:04:40,760 --> 00:04:43,080
Speaker 3: check off your boxes when you're here and that.

115
00:04:43,200 --> 00:04:44,640
Speaker 8: Oh nah, I don't.

116
00:04:45,000 --> 00:04:47,800
Speaker 4: I'm not really dibble devling on the internet, man.

117
00:04:49,200 --> 00:04:51,239
Speaker 8: I ain't really dibbled deviling on the internet.

118
00:04:51,600 --> 00:04:54,320
Speaker 4: I ain't got social media on my phone or let's

119
00:04:54,560 --> 00:04:56,920
Speaker 4: unless I'm posting for a deal with something like that.

120
00:04:57,080 --> 00:04:59,320
Speaker 4: But yeah, I try to stay up the internet as

121
00:04:59,360 --> 00:05:00,320
Speaker 4: best as possible.

122
00:05:00,640 --> 00:05:04,680
Speaker 3: All right, So if there's something that you definitely want

123
00:05:04,720 --> 00:05:07,200
Speaker 3: to prove this week in mobile, what would it be?

124
00:05:07,320 --> 00:05:09,560
Speaker 4: I mean, I would just say like hands and route

125
00:05:09,600 --> 00:05:15,160
Speaker 4: running and you know, leadership qualities and abilities and uh

126
00:05:15,279 --> 00:05:17,800
Speaker 4: and just being able to run all side zones and

127
00:05:18,160 --> 00:05:21,000
Speaker 4: in size zone. We didn't really run much outside zone

128
00:05:21,000 --> 00:05:23,240
Speaker 4: this year, so you know, it's just show I can

129
00:05:23,279 --> 00:05:25,520
Speaker 4: run outside zone because I know that's a big trait

130
00:05:26,160 --> 00:05:30,560
Speaker 4: in the NFL versus what we did. But uh, yeah,

131
00:05:30,600 --> 00:05:33,039
Speaker 4: I think that's that's something I want to show a

132
00:05:33,080 --> 00:05:33,440
Speaker 4: lot of.

133
00:05:33,920 --> 00:05:37,120
Speaker 3: No, absolutely, I totally get where you're coming from on that.

134
00:05:37,279 --> 00:05:39,440
Speaker 3: Fantastic I want to ask you about one of your

135
00:05:39,480 --> 00:05:42,200
Speaker 3: teammates on defense, right, just High Stewart.

136
00:05:42,000 --> 00:05:42,360
Speaker 8: Yes, sir.

137
00:05:43,360 --> 00:05:45,160
Speaker 3: You look at him as frame and you're like, all right,

138
00:05:45,200 --> 00:05:47,080
Speaker 3: speed rusher. Then you watch him on tape and it's like,

141
00:05:51,600 --> 00:05:52,200
Speaker 3: guy in practice?

142
00:05:52,560 --> 00:05:52,800
Speaker 8: You know?

143
00:05:52,880 --> 00:05:55,320
Speaker 4: So we don't really go against our defense too much

144
00:05:55,360 --> 00:05:56,320
Speaker 4: more so scout team.

145
00:05:56,360 --> 00:05:59,400

149
00:06:07,000 --> 00:06:09,680
Speaker 4: but he plays like he's the biggest guy in you know,

150
00:06:09,800 --> 00:06:10,680

00:06:30,600 --> 00:06:32,640
Speaker 3: rushers here, Mike Green at a Marshall Mike, how are

162
00:06:32,680 --> 00:06:33,120
Speaker 3: you man.

163
00:06:33,040 --> 00:06:34,640
Speaker 5: I'm good man. It's a pleasure to be here.

164
00:06:34,720 --> 00:06:36,560
Speaker 2: So seventeen sacks last year.

165
00:06:37,240 --> 00:06:41,280
Speaker 3: Wow, So it's stupid question, like how did like how

166
00:06:41,560 --> 00:06:44,240
Speaker 3: seventeen sacks in a college he's in is kind of ridiculous.

167
00:06:44,520 --> 00:06:50,960
Speaker 7: Yeah, this past season, I think my defensive coach and

168
00:06:51,279 --> 00:06:53,359
Speaker 7: my position coaches cond of just gave me like a

169
00:06:53,360 --> 00:06:56,039
Speaker 7: green light to go and not to have to think

170
00:06:56,080 --> 00:06:58,840
Speaker 7: too too much. And I think it just gave me

171
00:06:58,880 --> 00:07:00,839
Speaker 7: a good opportunity to just go out there and showcase

172
00:07:00,880 --> 00:07:03,960
Speaker 7: my talent. I didn't have to do a lot of thinking.

173
00:07:04,200 --> 00:07:09,039
Speaker 7: And also I've been working on each pass rush move

174
00:07:09,080 --> 00:07:11,360
Speaker 7: that I've that you've privately seen on film. I've been

175
00:07:11,360 --> 00:07:14,320
Speaker 7: working with those for the for the longest and think

176
00:07:14,360 --> 00:07:17,040
Speaker 7: I think last season was just a great opportunity for

177
00:07:17,080 --> 00:07:18,680
Speaker 7: me to go out there and make some place.

178
00:07:18,880 --> 00:07:20,400
Speaker 3: All Right, I want to follow up on a bunch

179
00:07:20,400 --> 00:07:22,120
Speaker 3: of this stuff you just said. Let's start with this part.

180
00:07:22,120 --> 00:07:23,760
Speaker 3: You said you didn't do a lot of thinking this

181
00:07:23,880 --> 00:07:26,120
Speaker 3: year playing until the last thirty six hours.

182
00:07:26,160 --> 00:07:27,400
Speaker 2: There has been a lot of thinking.

183
00:07:27,160 --> 00:07:29,320
Speaker 3: Though, as you try to figure out how to defense

184
00:07:29,360 --> 00:07:30,680
Speaker 3: in a span of like a couple of days.

185
00:07:30,720 --> 00:07:31,400
Speaker 2: How was that gone.

186
00:07:31,560 --> 00:07:34,720
Speaker 7: Yeah, it hasn't been bad. I think it was a

187
00:07:34,760 --> 00:07:38,400
Speaker 7: little challenging. But like when I say, like I didn't

188
00:07:38,400 --> 00:07:40,600
Speaker 7: have to think that much. It's just like on pass

189
00:07:40,680 --> 00:07:42,239
Speaker 7: rush downs, just get to the quarterback.

190
00:07:42,400 --> 00:07:43,400
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, you.

191
00:07:43,440 --> 00:07:46,600
Speaker 7: Get to the quarterback, and of course I was gonna

192
00:07:46,600 --> 00:07:48,560
Speaker 7: have to play the run a little bit more strategically,

193
00:07:48,880 --> 00:07:51,600
Speaker 7: but for the pass rushing, it was just like go

194
00:07:51,680 --> 00:07:52,040
Speaker 7: and win.

195
00:07:52,680 --> 00:07:55,040
Speaker 3: You mentioned the variety of your moves. What would you

196
00:07:55,080 --> 00:07:57,480
Speaker 3: consider your go to move as a pass rusher right now.

197
00:07:57,800 --> 00:08:00,840
Speaker 7: I'll probably say spinning either way, insider side I think

198
00:08:00,880 --> 00:08:04,320
Speaker 7: I do a good job. I'm bendy, I'm quick, I'm fast,

199
00:08:04,360 --> 00:08:06,560
Speaker 7: So I think that gave me like a better opportunity

200
00:08:06,600 --> 00:08:09,800
Speaker 7: to be more successful when it comes down to spinning

201
00:08:09,840 --> 00:08:10,640
Speaker 7: and stuff like that.

202
00:08:10,840 --> 00:08:13,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, the outside spins hard, you know, the inside spin

203
00:08:13,480 --> 00:08:15,520
Speaker 3: comes a little more naturally. You get the guy leaning outside,

204
00:08:15,560 --> 00:08:18,440
Speaker 3: then you kind of spin back inside. How do you

205
00:08:18,520 --> 00:08:21,040
Speaker 3: how do you master the outside spin? I imagine that it's

206
00:08:21,120 --> 00:08:22,080
Speaker 3: a little bit tougher.

207
00:08:21,920 --> 00:08:25,800
Speaker 7: Right, Yeah, it's it's pretty tough. I got clips of

208
00:08:26,080 --> 00:08:29,240
Speaker 7: me practicing that from last year January, so so it's

209
00:08:29,320 --> 00:08:31,280
Speaker 7: kind of something I've been working on for a while now.

210
00:08:32,480 --> 00:08:35,800
Speaker 7: But but it's it's it's pretty simple once you break

211
00:08:35,840 --> 00:08:39,440
Speaker 7: things down, like I'm selling inside, I'm selling power rush,

212
00:08:39,800 --> 00:08:42,640
Speaker 7: and then I take one final step inside and I'm

213
00:08:42,679 --> 00:08:44,760
Speaker 7: able to push off of that and and spin outside.

214
00:08:44,800 --> 00:08:47,520
Speaker 5: But but I think it's it's.

215
00:08:47,559 --> 00:08:51,920
Speaker 7: It's a great rush simply because of it catches the

216
00:08:51,960 --> 00:08:52,839
Speaker 7: tackles off guard.

217
00:08:53,280 --> 00:08:55,800
Speaker 5: And I think how many people use it? Yeah?

218
00:08:56,040 --> 00:08:58,960
Speaker 7: Yeah, and also that too, like it's not really meaning

219
00:08:59,000 --> 00:09:01,400
Speaker 7: preeople that people that I've at least seen use it,

220
00:09:01,800 --> 00:09:05,480
Speaker 7: And I just think it's a great rush, And how

221
00:09:05,800 --> 00:09:08,560
Speaker 7: can you not win with that with that rush if

222
00:09:08,600 --> 00:09:09,640
Speaker 7: if they're not expecting it.

223
00:09:09,760 --> 00:09:11,800
Speaker 3: No, absolutely, And going back to the inside spin, I

224
00:09:11,800 --> 00:09:14,800
Speaker 3: think the reason that's effective is because of your outside

225
00:09:14,800 --> 00:09:17,360
Speaker 3: speed rush, right, yeah, And is that kind of the

226
00:09:17,360 --> 00:09:20,480
Speaker 3: basis of everything? Is that what sets up your other stuff,

227
00:09:20,520 --> 00:09:23,240
Speaker 3: the fact that they have to respect your outside speed

228
00:09:23,280 --> 00:09:23,960
Speaker 3: rushing your bend?

229
00:09:24,160 --> 00:09:27,559
Speaker 7: Yeah, yeah, the tackles. They watch film on you every

230
00:09:27,559 --> 00:09:29,400
Speaker 7: week and there's probably one of the smartest guys on

231
00:09:29,440 --> 00:09:31,720
Speaker 7: the field, So you got to think about like everything

232
00:09:31,720 --> 00:09:32,840
Speaker 7: that you're good at, they're going to.

233
00:09:32,840 --> 00:09:33,720
Speaker 5: Try to eliminate that.

234
00:09:33,920 --> 00:09:37,640
Speaker 7: So so I feel like even sometimes if I'm not

235
00:09:37,720 --> 00:09:40,040
Speaker 7: running a rush, it's me just setting them up. And

236
00:09:40,400 --> 00:09:42,160
Speaker 7: I think they're set up is the most important thing

237
00:09:42,160 --> 00:09:46,000
Speaker 7: about your rush? Sure, And I think each game when

238
00:09:46,040 --> 00:09:48,400
Speaker 7: I go up go up against these guys, I'm setting

239
00:09:48,440 --> 00:09:50,480
Speaker 7: them up and and it makes it easier for you

240
00:09:50,559 --> 00:09:53,120
Speaker 7: to come out with something different in your toolbag.

241
00:09:53,760 --> 00:09:56,640
Speaker 3: Do you also almost play a mind game with them

242
00:09:56,880 --> 00:09:59,680
Speaker 3: during the game where you're saving something for the fourth

243
00:09:59,760 --> 00:10:01,720
Speaker 3: quar order in a close game and a big spot

244
00:10:01,840 --> 00:10:04,319
Speaker 3: or all right, I've hit this guy with a B

245
00:10:04,440 --> 00:10:06,199
Speaker 3: and C all game, but I haven't shown this yet.

246
00:10:06,200 --> 00:10:07,559
Speaker 2: And I'm saving that for the big.

247
00:10:07,400 --> 00:10:09,800
Speaker 3: Spot on a third and long in the fourth quarter

248
00:10:09,840 --> 00:10:10,679
Speaker 3: when we really need it.

249
00:10:11,679 --> 00:10:14,920
Speaker 7: I'll probably say in some cases, not all most In

250
00:10:15,080 --> 00:10:20,439
Speaker 7: most cases, I bring out the specialty of whatever I.

251
00:10:20,400 --> 00:10:21,559
Speaker 5: Got playing on that week.

252
00:10:21,920 --> 00:10:24,640
Speaker 7: I bring that out like the first second or third,

253
00:10:25,880 --> 00:10:28,839
Speaker 7: third and long. So I'm trying to I'm trying to

254
00:10:28,840 --> 00:10:34,240
Speaker 7: get rolling early. Football is a game where where you

255
00:10:34,320 --> 00:10:39,480
Speaker 7: have to play it strategically and and if if if

256
00:10:40,200 --> 00:10:42,520
Speaker 7: they take you, if they take something away that that's

257
00:10:42,559 --> 00:10:44,840
Speaker 7: good in your game early on, then then it's kind

258
00:10:44,840 --> 00:10:48,800
Speaker 7: of hard to get Yeah, So so I try to

259
00:10:48,920 --> 00:10:52,280
Speaker 7: I try to take advantage of of of what I'm

260
00:10:52,280 --> 00:10:53,600
Speaker 7: good at early on in the game.

261
00:10:53,640 --> 00:10:55,360
Speaker 3: I would think that camp mouse game is interesting, the

262
00:10:55,400 --> 00:10:57,280
Speaker 3: way you kind of have that little back and forth,

263
00:10:57,320 --> 00:10:59,440
Speaker 3: a little dance with the offensive tackle. The one thing

264
00:10:59,480 --> 00:11:02,520
Speaker 3: I noticed watching you heading into this week and preparing,

265
00:11:03,240 --> 00:11:05,199
Speaker 3: you're always the first guy off the ball on defense.

266
00:11:05,679 --> 00:11:07,760
Speaker 2: How did you develop such a good get.

267
00:11:07,480 --> 00:11:10,280
Speaker 3: Off from the ball Where you are you know they

268
00:11:10,320 --> 00:11:12,600
Speaker 3: know the snapcount, you don't, yet you're sometimes the first

269
00:11:12,600 --> 00:11:13,520
Speaker 3: guy moving off the ball.

270
00:11:13,920 --> 00:11:17,319
Speaker 7: Yeah, I got a position coach I was at u

271
00:11:17,400 --> 00:11:20,800
Speaker 7: v A. He he was kind of only about my

272
00:11:20,840 --> 00:11:24,760
Speaker 7: get offs. It hasn't always been the best previously, but

273
00:11:25,360 --> 00:11:27,720
Speaker 7: I think this past few years I was just able

274
00:11:27,760 --> 00:11:31,679
Speaker 7: to break it down it and and know the techniques

275
00:11:31,720 --> 00:11:34,760
Speaker 7: of it. And it's a lot that goes into it.

276
00:11:34,760 --> 00:11:37,280
Speaker 7: It's not just reacting to the ball. You have to

277
00:11:37,320 --> 00:11:38,920
Speaker 7: load up on your front foot and you have to

278
00:11:39,200 --> 00:11:42,040
Speaker 7: you have to keep the ball also. But it's just

279
00:11:42,040 --> 00:11:44,080
Speaker 7: like little things like that that I that I've added

280
00:11:44,160 --> 00:11:49,480
Speaker 7: up and and uh, I used it accordingly and it's

281
00:11:49,520 --> 00:11:50,800
Speaker 7: been helping me out in the long run.

282
00:11:50,920 --> 00:11:53,479
Speaker 3: Is that study too, learning the cadence of the quarterback,

283
00:11:53,679 --> 00:11:55,800
Speaker 3: how what they like to do with their snapcount, so

284
00:11:55,800 --> 00:11:57,760
Speaker 3: you can you don't want anticipate too much because that's

285
00:11:57,760 --> 00:11:58,440
Speaker 3: how you go off side.

286
00:11:58,480 --> 00:11:59,840
Speaker 2: But is that part of it too?

287
00:12:00,160 --> 00:12:00,360
Speaker 8: Yeah?

288
00:12:00,480 --> 00:12:03,760
Speaker 7: I feel like sometimes we kind of go over there

289
00:12:03,840 --> 00:12:07,800
Speaker 7: cadence and our little cadence report. But sometimes they they

290
00:12:08,640 --> 00:12:12,679
Speaker 7: fake clap, sometimes they fake like a verbal cadence.

291
00:12:12,720 --> 00:12:14,280
Speaker 6: So so you have.

292
00:12:14,160 --> 00:12:17,520
Speaker 7: To keep the ball and you could just we call

293
00:12:17,600 --> 00:12:19,880
Speaker 7: it seeing through your perihal and and it's like you're

294
00:12:19,880 --> 00:12:21,720
Speaker 7: not looking at the ball, but you're looking at the ball,

295
00:12:21,760 --> 00:12:22,400
Speaker 7: you can see it.

296
00:12:22,600 --> 00:12:24,800
Speaker 5: You're just not like just eyeing it.

297
00:12:24,880 --> 00:12:27,360
Speaker 7: But but I think once you see their hand moves,

298
00:12:27,400 --> 00:12:29,360
Speaker 7: once you see that ball moves, that's when I'm able

299
00:12:29,400 --> 00:12:29,959
Speaker 7: to get off the ball.

300
00:12:30,040 --> 00:12:31,520
Speaker 2: You have a preference plan on the left side or

301
00:12:31,559 --> 00:12:32,679
Speaker 2: the plane on the right side, do you care?

302
00:12:33,320 --> 00:12:33,880
Speaker 5: I don't care.

303
00:12:34,559 --> 00:12:38,679
Speaker 7: I think sometimes my best rushers probably come from the

304
00:12:38,720 --> 00:12:39,280
Speaker 7: left side.

305
00:12:39,600 --> 00:12:43,440
Speaker 2: But so the offense is right, yes, I think I

306
00:12:43,440 --> 00:12:44,000
Speaker 2: can rush.

307
00:12:43,840 --> 00:12:44,520
Speaker 5: On both sides.

308
00:12:45,120 --> 00:12:49,160
Speaker 7: It's it's not too much of our preference. But I

309
00:12:50,160 --> 00:12:51,760
Speaker 7: think most of our plays has been made on the

310
00:12:51,840 --> 00:12:52,280
Speaker 7: left side.

311
00:12:52,400 --> 00:12:54,560
Speaker 3: Now, this is the more interesting question, I think, because

312
00:12:54,720 --> 00:12:57,000
Speaker 3: different rushers to give me different answers, and they different reasons.

313
00:12:57,080 --> 00:12:59,080
Speaker 3: Do you prefer hand in the dirt or do you

314
00:12:59,120 --> 00:13:00,920
Speaker 3: prefer standing up from a two point stance?

315
00:13:01,559 --> 00:13:04,320
Speaker 7: I prefer two point stands. That's probably what I've just

316
00:13:04,640 --> 00:13:08,560
Speaker 7: been doing this past few years. But now I'm working

317
00:13:08,600 --> 00:13:10,560
Speaker 7: on getting in a three point stands. I know some

318
00:13:10,679 --> 00:13:14,160
Speaker 7: teams I have four downs, So if i want to

319
00:13:14,480 --> 00:13:16,440
Speaker 7: have a chance to play on the team, then then

320
00:13:16,440 --> 00:13:17,960
Speaker 7: I'm gonna have to put my hand down there. So

321
00:13:18,559 --> 00:13:21,400
Speaker 7: that's something I'm open to doing. And I'm not one

322
00:13:21,400 --> 00:13:24,400
Speaker 7: of those guys that's that's not coachable. So I think

323
00:13:24,400 --> 00:13:27,000
Speaker 7: it's going to be very interesting how that goes.

324
00:13:27,120 --> 00:13:28,560
Speaker 2: So we clearly know what you can do well.

325
00:13:28,679 --> 00:13:30,800
Speaker 3: What are some of the things that maybe you've heard

326
00:13:30,880 --> 00:13:34,360
Speaker 3: outside criticism, scouts questioning things maybe they don't think you

327
00:13:34,400 --> 00:13:35,960
Speaker 3: can do as well that you want to show them

328
00:13:36,000 --> 00:13:38,720
Speaker 3: this week. No, no, no, no, no, don't get this wrong.

329
00:13:38,760 --> 00:13:39,800
Speaker 3: I can do that too. What do you want to

330
00:13:39,800 --> 00:13:40,480
Speaker 3: show them on the field.

331
00:13:40,800 --> 00:13:43,240
Speaker 7: Yeah, I don't know if it's if it's too much

332
00:13:44,440 --> 00:13:46,880
Speaker 7: of a scattering report, but I know I've been here

333
00:13:46,920 --> 00:13:49,400
Speaker 7: and talk about not playing against the top of the

334
00:13:49,440 --> 00:13:52,840
Speaker 7: top competition consistently, and I'm out here trying to show

335
00:13:52,880 --> 00:13:55,679
Speaker 7: that I can compete with these guys regardless of the competition.

336
00:13:56,120 --> 00:14:00,319
Speaker 7: I mean, regardless of I can compete with these guys,

337
00:14:00,320 --> 00:14:04,120
Speaker 7: regardless of how good they are and who I'm going

338
00:14:04,120 --> 00:14:07,280
Speaker 7: against or whatever the case may be. I'm out here

339
00:14:07,280 --> 00:14:10,240
Speaker 7: for one thing, and that's the ball out. So that's

340
00:14:10,280 --> 00:14:12,880
Speaker 7: probably one thing that I've been hearing talk.

341
00:14:12,760 --> 00:14:16,960
Speaker 5: About, and I'm just here just just trying to showcase

342
00:14:16,960 --> 00:14:17,360
Speaker 5: my talent.

343
00:14:17,440 --> 00:14:17,720
Speaker 9: All right.

344
00:14:17,760 --> 00:14:19,880
Speaker 3: Then finally you wait in at six three two fifty one.

345
00:14:20,040 --> 00:14:21,360
Speaker 3: Is that what you want to play at around two

346
00:14:21,360 --> 00:14:21,760
Speaker 3: fifty one?

347
00:14:21,840 --> 00:14:24,040
Speaker 7: Yeah, I want to player around the low two fifties.

348
00:14:25,000 --> 00:14:28,760
Speaker 7: I've been progressively gaining weights to this to this point,

349
00:14:28,800 --> 00:14:32,040
Speaker 7: now I came in I came in college like two twenty.

350
00:14:32,040 --> 00:14:35,920
Speaker 7: But I think it's gonna give me a a great

351
00:14:35,920 --> 00:14:39,960
Speaker 7: opportunity to go out there and set the edge and

352
00:14:40,760 --> 00:14:41,640
Speaker 7: use my weight.

353
00:14:42,400 --> 00:14:43,840
Speaker 2: That was my other question. Set in the edge?

354
00:14:43,880 --> 00:14:46,920
Speaker 3: Right, is it two fifty you know, you know, two

355
00:14:46,960 --> 00:14:49,040
Speaker 3: thirty five edge guy, but you're not a two eighty

356
00:14:49,280 --> 00:14:51,760
Speaker 3: you know Landon Jackson edge rusher either, Right, So is

357
00:14:51,760 --> 00:14:54,160
Speaker 3: setting the edge and being physical in the run something

358
00:14:54,160 --> 00:14:56,000
Speaker 3: else that you kind of want to show coaches over

359
00:14:56,080 --> 00:14:56,760
Speaker 3: the course of this week.

360
00:14:56,880 --> 00:14:58,800
Speaker 5: Yeah, for sure, for sure it.

361
00:15:00,200 --> 00:15:02,040
Speaker 7: Hey yeah, once again, like I don't know if it's

362
00:15:02,040 --> 00:15:04,040
Speaker 7: too much like team talk, but I know there's little

363
00:15:04,080 --> 00:15:06,560
Speaker 7: talks about like me setting the edge and things like.

364
00:15:06,520 --> 00:15:08,840
Speaker 2: That and undersize Moniker.

365
00:15:09,000 --> 00:15:14,720
Speaker 7: Yeah yeah, and it's on film. So yeah, So I

366
00:15:15,080 --> 00:15:17,400
Speaker 7: mean every guy is gonna win every rep. Like there's

367
00:15:17,400 --> 00:15:19,280
Speaker 7: probably some players where I'm giving up the edge, or

368
00:15:19,280 --> 00:15:23,600
Speaker 7: there's probably some plays where I'm responsible for the B

369
00:15:23,720 --> 00:15:25,680
Speaker 7: gap and the guy runs outside to the C gap,

370
00:15:25,760 --> 00:15:29,080
Speaker 7: So it looks like I'm not I'm not setting the edge,

371
00:15:29,120 --> 00:15:33,520
Speaker 7: but technically I'm not supposed to, but it's just uh yeah,

372
00:15:33,800 --> 00:15:35,480
Speaker 7: I think I think it's gonna give me a good

373
00:15:35,480 --> 00:15:37,360
Speaker 7: opportunity to be in out here, to show that I

374
00:15:37,360 --> 00:15:38,040
Speaker 7: can sit the edge.

375
00:15:38,200 --> 00:15:39,680
Speaker 3: Mike, we can't wait to see it, man, it was

376
00:15:39,680 --> 00:15:41,120
Speaker 3: fun watching a tape and I can't wait to see

Speaker 5: How are you?

394
00:16:22,800 --> 00:16:24,880
Speaker 2: I'm doing great? Let's start here.

395
00:16:24,880 --> 00:16:26,920
Speaker 3: You've been here for what like thirty six hours, forty

396
00:16:26,920 --> 00:16:29,880
Speaker 3: eight hours and you're trying to learn an NFL defense.

397
00:16:30,000 --> 00:16:32,560
Speaker 2: Yes, sir, how's that going. I can't imagine that's easy.

398
00:16:32,640 --> 00:16:33,200
Speaker 6: Yeah, it's not.

399
00:16:33,400 --> 00:16:35,680
Speaker 10: It's not, but when you're a pro, you try to

400
00:16:35,720 --> 00:16:38,600
Speaker 10: embrace it with a good mentality and everything you're doing.

401
00:16:38,680 --> 00:16:41,400
Speaker 10: So I'm just trying to get a great feedback from

402
00:16:41,400 --> 00:16:45,680
Speaker 10: my coaches, understand what to do and learning the defense,

403
00:16:46,480 --> 00:16:48,920
Speaker 10: how to learn all the nuances of a new defense,

404
00:16:49,200 --> 00:16:53,360
Speaker 10: pro level defense, and then detailing my work, understanding the

405
00:16:53,400 --> 00:16:56,240
Speaker 10: intricate details of my job and my assignment so I

406
00:16:56,240 --> 00:16:56,480
Speaker 10: can go.

407
00:16:56,440 --> 00:16:57,920
Speaker 6: Out there and play fast and free today.

408
00:16:58,040 --> 00:17:00,000
Speaker 3: Oh, you're going to be green dot this week. You're

409
00:17:00,040 --> 00:17:01,240
Speaker 3: the guys run of the defense or now.

410
00:17:01,480 --> 00:17:02,560
Speaker 6: So we have multiple guys.

411
00:17:02,760 --> 00:17:06,199
Speaker 10: They'll be using the green dot throughout these practices, so

412
00:17:06,200 --> 00:17:08,159
Speaker 10: I think they'll be working a lot. I don't have

413
00:17:08,200 --> 00:17:11,359
Speaker 10: it today, but we'll be working multiple guys in that

414
00:17:11,400 --> 00:17:12,200
Speaker 10: green dot position.

415
00:17:12,320 --> 00:17:15,040
Speaker 2: So I got to imagine whenever you do, if you

416
00:17:15,080 --> 00:17:15,920
Speaker 2: do happen to get it at.

417
00:17:15,840 --> 00:17:19,840
Speaker 3: Some point this week, that that adds a whole nother thing, right, Yeah, Yeah,

418
00:17:20,040 --> 00:17:22,560
Speaker 3: you just can't kind of know the defense, like you

419
00:17:22,720 --> 00:17:23,480
Speaker 3: really got to do this.

420
00:17:24,440 --> 00:17:26,760
Speaker 10: You're like running the show at that point, and you

421
00:17:26,880 --> 00:17:29,240
Speaker 10: just got to be excited and embrace it. You know,

422
00:17:29,280 --> 00:17:31,920
Speaker 10: it's a challenge that somebody bestows upon you, and it's

423
00:17:31,960 --> 00:17:33,760
Speaker 10: a great honor and privilege to be able to wear

424
00:17:33,800 --> 00:17:36,840
Speaker 10: that green dot. So just being able to get the

425
00:17:36,880 --> 00:17:39,240
Speaker 10: opportunity to do that, Just know that the coaches trust

426
00:17:39,280 --> 00:17:40,880
Speaker 10: and believe in you and they want you to run

427
00:17:40,920 --> 00:17:41,240
Speaker 10: the show.

428
00:17:41,400 --> 00:17:44,159
Speaker 3: How much extra studying has there been over the past

429
00:17:44,359 --> 00:17:47,360
Speaker 3: thirty six forty eight hours in addition to what's happening

430
00:17:47,400 --> 00:17:48,919
Speaker 3: actually in the meetings and classrooms.

431
00:17:49,000 --> 00:17:51,320
Speaker 10: Yeah, it's a great deal of studying, great deal of

432
00:17:51,560 --> 00:17:55,960
Speaker 10: understanding our details within our job. Just being able to

433
00:17:56,000 --> 00:17:59,399
Speaker 10: go over the new defense that we're going through, and

434
00:17:59,560 --> 00:18:02,159
Speaker 10: just being able to like understand it all the way

435
00:18:02,320 --> 00:18:04,520
Speaker 10: thoroughly so you can go out there and play fast,

436
00:18:04,560 --> 00:18:05,960
Speaker 10: free and just have fun.

437
00:18:06,080 --> 00:18:07,480
Speaker 6: You know, it's a senior Bowl. You want to go

438
00:18:07,520 --> 00:18:08,880
Speaker 6: out there and show your talents.

439
00:18:09,160 --> 00:18:12,000
Speaker 3: So if a NFL evaluated one of your meetings this week,

440
00:18:12,240 --> 00:18:15,720
Speaker 3: ask you, all right, as a linebacker, what's what makes

441
00:18:15,800 --> 00:18:18,440
Speaker 3: you the guy that played well enough to get here?

442
00:18:18,800 --> 00:18:21,200
Speaker 2: What stands out? What do you think you're best traded?

443
00:18:21,240 --> 00:18:24,600
Speaker 10: Is a line relentless effort. It's certainly something I think

444
00:18:24,720 --> 00:18:27,399
Speaker 10: is my best trade. I play the game with my

445
00:18:27,440 --> 00:18:29,840
Speaker 10: hair on fire, and I don't think there's a linebacker

446
00:18:29,880 --> 00:18:31,639
Speaker 10: in this draft class that plays the game with more

447
00:18:31,680 --> 00:18:32,240
Speaker 10: effort than me.

448
00:18:32,400 --> 00:18:33,399
Speaker 6: And that's the truth.

449
00:18:33,560 --> 00:18:34,439
Speaker 2: I like that answer.

450
00:18:35,200 --> 00:18:37,159
Speaker 3: So other side of that, when you get on the

451
00:18:37,160 --> 00:18:39,560
Speaker 3: field and you're trying to show these scouts something on

452
00:18:39,600 --> 00:18:41,639
Speaker 3: the field and these evaluators, what do you want to

453
00:18:41,640 --> 00:18:43,760
Speaker 3: show them improved in that maybe there might be you've

454
00:18:43,800 --> 00:18:46,800
Speaker 3: heard some doubts about something about the game that you're like, no, no, no, no, no.

455
00:18:46,920 --> 00:18:48,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, I can do that too.

456
00:18:48,359 --> 00:18:51,320
Speaker 10: Of course, as a competitor, you want to be able

457
00:18:51,320 --> 00:18:53,879
Speaker 10: to show that you know, that's your complete package. And

458
00:18:53,920 --> 00:18:56,439
Speaker 10: for me, quite frankly, I'm excited to show my coverage

459
00:18:56,480 --> 00:18:59,680
Speaker 10: ability this week. I feel like being able to be

460
00:18:59,720 --> 00:19:02,000
Speaker 10: matched up against all these great running backs that we're

461
00:19:02,040 --> 00:19:05,160
Speaker 10: going against. Our team has great, great deal of running backs,

462
00:19:05,160 --> 00:19:07,960
Speaker 10: So being able to show my coverage ability in space,

463
00:19:08,240 --> 00:19:11,320
Speaker 10: being able to close the distance and then make plays

464
00:19:11,640 --> 00:19:15,480
Speaker 10: on the ball carrier in space and open field, it's

465
00:19:15,480 --> 00:19:18,480
Speaker 10: certainly something I'm excited to show and I'm going to

466
00:19:18,520 --> 00:19:20,960
Speaker 10: display that. You know, the way the NFL is nowadays

467
00:19:21,040 --> 00:19:23,920
Speaker 10: is very spaced out, and these running backs are now

468
00:19:24,680 --> 00:19:28,360
Speaker 10: bona fide receivers, so being able to guard them one

469
00:19:28,359 --> 00:19:31,240
Speaker 10: on one. Having a linebacker with that skill set is

470
00:19:31,280 --> 00:19:33,040
Speaker 10: going to be good and to be able to neutralize

471
00:19:33,040 --> 00:19:33,760
Speaker 10: everything they're doing.

472
00:19:33,960 --> 00:19:36,080
Speaker 3: I'm sure we'll get some reps against the very talented

473
00:19:36,119 --> 00:19:37,240

476
00:19:40,880 --> 00:19:42,879
Speaker 10: a lot of the great tight ends too, especially on

477
00:19:42,920 --> 00:19:44,919
Speaker 10: our team. You know, so we're going against everybody on

478
00:19:45,280 --> 00:19:47,760
Speaker 10: the American team and just being able to you know,

479
00:19:47,880 --> 00:19:50,320
Speaker 10: go against them, seeing seeing what they do and bring

480
00:19:50,359 --> 00:19:52,080
Speaker 10: to the table. And then I'm excited to just get

481
00:19:52,080 --> 00:19:53,440
Speaker 10: one on one matchups with them today.

482
00:19:53,520 --> 00:19:55,440
Speaker 3: Yeah, we just talked to one of your teammates, Mason Teler.

483
00:19:55,520 --> 00:19:57,000
Speaker 3: I'm sure one of the guys that you'll be matched

484
00:19:57,040 --> 00:19:58,280
Speaker 3: up there of course of practice too.

485
00:19:58,280 --> 00:20:00,720
Speaker 2: So you wait in it's six foot twenty two, yes, sir.

486
00:20:01,320 --> 00:20:01,960
Speaker 2: Do you see.

487
00:20:01,800 --> 00:20:03,879
Speaker 3: Yourself as as a MIC at the next level? Do

488
00:20:03,920 --> 00:20:06,800
Speaker 3: yourselfself more of like a week side for three guy?

489
00:20:07,200 --> 00:20:08,719
Speaker 3: What position do you see yourself fitting in?

490
00:20:09,080 --> 00:20:13,120
Speaker 10: I see myself fitting in as a willbacker. I can

491
00:20:13,119 --> 00:20:16,199
Speaker 10: play mic due to my ability to be able to

492
00:20:16,200 --> 00:20:19,920
Speaker 10: communicate and effectively get my matches across to the defense.

493
00:20:20,040 --> 00:20:22,280
Speaker 10: I understand what all the nuances of what our coaches

494
00:20:22,280 --> 00:20:26,520
Speaker 10: want us to know. You know, I've also played a

495
00:20:26,520 --> 00:20:29,480
Speaker 10: little bit of that bigger nickel role nickel role at

496
00:20:30,160 --> 00:20:32,640
Speaker 10: Auburn this past season, So just being in that role

497
00:20:32,720 --> 00:20:35,280
Speaker 10: to where you know, teams are doing now perimeter stuff

498
00:20:35,280 --> 00:20:37,919
Speaker 10: and they want a bigger body linebacker there to be

499
00:20:37,960 --> 00:20:40,280
Speaker 10: able to take on tight ends on the perimeter and

500
00:20:40,280 --> 00:20:43,639
Speaker 10: stuff like that. I'm very capable of doing that, So

501
00:20:43,800 --> 00:20:45,560
Speaker 10: you know, I think those are primarily the positions that

502
00:20:45,560 --> 00:20:46,639
Speaker 10: I see myself playing.

503
00:20:46,640 --> 00:20:48,400
Speaker 3: I got two more questions for It's funny you mentioned

504
00:20:48,440 --> 00:20:50,920
Speaker 3: you want to show the coverage stuff, but the running

505
00:20:50,960 --> 00:20:53,000
Speaker 3: backs have the advantage in that. I'm surprised you didn't say,

506
00:20:53,040 --> 00:20:54,960
Speaker 3: I want to go do the blitzing when the running

507
00:20:54,960 --> 00:20:56,440
Speaker 3: becks have to pick you guys up on the blitz

508
00:20:56,520 --> 00:20:58,800
Speaker 3: because then you guys have the advantage.

509
00:20:58,880 --> 00:20:59,120
Speaker 9: Yeah.

510
00:20:59,200 --> 00:21:02,560
Speaker 10: Yeah, truthfully and honestly, I think that's where I thrive.

511
00:21:02,640 --> 00:21:05,320
Speaker 10: And I've shown my been pass rushing and I've shown

512
00:21:05,359 --> 00:21:09,760
Speaker 10: that I'm you know, an electric pass rusher, and once again,

513
00:21:09,760 --> 00:21:11,479
Speaker 10: I think that's one of my strong suits. A lot

514
00:21:11,480 --> 00:21:13,439
Speaker 10: of linebackers haven't shown when I've shown in terms of

515
00:21:13,440 --> 00:21:15,840
Speaker 10: the pass rush game. So I think it's a strength

516
00:21:15,840 --> 00:21:18,680
Speaker 10: of mind that I've shown and displayed. You know, it's

517
00:21:18,720 --> 00:21:20,520
Speaker 10: just checking boxes. When he comes to the Senior Bowl,

518
00:21:20,520 --> 00:21:24,440
Speaker 10: it's just one box pass rush, next box coverage, next

519
00:21:24,480 --> 00:21:25,639
Speaker 10: box run stopping.

520
00:21:25,800 --> 00:21:26,000
Speaker 8: You know.

521
00:21:26,119 --> 00:21:28,200
Speaker 2: So, all right, you got some teammates here.

522
00:21:28,240 --> 00:21:30,360
Speaker 3: I want to have a chance for you, guy, chance

523
00:21:30,680 --> 00:21:32,520
Speaker 3: you don't kind of blow up your teammates a little bit, right,

524
00:21:32,880 --> 00:21:34,879
Speaker 3: So let's start with the guy that I'm sure you

525
00:21:34,880 --> 00:21:37,280
Speaker 3: win to begin some practice a little bit. Yark quiz Hunter,

526
00:21:37,520 --> 00:21:39,840

527
00:21:40,040 --> 00:21:41,160
Speaker 6: Yeah, Dark Quiz Hunter.

528
00:21:41,840 --> 00:21:45,320
Speaker 10: Certainly a dynamic running back, one of the most dynamic

529
00:21:45,400 --> 00:21:48,440
Speaker 10: running backs in the country. And everything he's accomplished at Auburn.

530
00:21:48,520 --> 00:21:52,439
Speaker 10: I truly commend being able to come in and finish

531
00:21:52,600 --> 00:21:55,679
Speaker 10: fourth all time in rushing yards. It wasn't an easy

532
00:21:55,680 --> 00:21:58,000
Speaker 10: feet you know. He worked his tail off every single day.

533
00:21:58,119 --> 00:21:59,320
Speaker 2: He got the stats and everything.

534
00:21:59,359 --> 00:22:03,240
Speaker 10: Man, Yeah, yeah, oh yeah, I'm a historian when it

535
00:22:03,240 --> 00:22:06,520
Speaker 10: comes to this stuff, you know. So being able to

536
00:22:06,520 --> 00:22:09,399

544
00:22:27,080 --> 00:22:30,439
Speaker 10: he's just a downhill runner, very physical, being able to

545
00:22:30,440 --> 00:22:33,880
Speaker 10: make one cut and go and has all the tools

546
00:22:33,920 --> 00:22:36,040
Speaker 10: in his toolbox to make moves at the second level,

547
00:22:36,280 --> 00:22:38,480
Speaker 10: whether it's a stiff arm spin move.

548
00:22:38,800 --> 00:22:40,399
Speaker 6: He just showed his decorated hurdle.

549
00:22:40,560 --> 00:22:42,040
Speaker 10: I don't know if there's a running back in this

550
00:22:42,040 --> 00:22:46,119
Speaker 10: class that hurdles people standing up in the open field.

551
00:22:46,440 --> 00:22:49,359
Speaker 10: So my guys are Quas is a dynamic runner and

552
00:22:49,359 --> 00:22:51,680
Speaker 10: I'm just excited to see him today in Senior Bowl.

553
00:22:51,720 --> 00:22:53,879
Speaker 3: Well, he just described him. I'm excited to see him now.

554
00:22:54,080 --> 00:22:56,159
Speaker 3: He sounds like a dynamite player. Can't wait to see him.

555
00:22:56,200 --> 00:22:56,320
Speaker 8: Right.

556
00:22:56,320 --> 00:22:58,440
Speaker 2: Then you have somebody in your position of Jamie McLoud. Yeah,

557
00:22:58,680 --> 00:22:59,520
Speaker 2: you're a running.

558
00:22:59,240 --> 00:23:03,960
Speaker 10: Mate, Yes, sir, Jalen McLeod, that's my running mate. You know,

559
00:23:04,000 --> 00:23:06,280
Speaker 10: we're from the same area, the DMV area, So I'm

560
00:23:06,359 --> 00:23:09,280
Speaker 10: very I've been very familiar with Jayalen McLeod before even

561
00:23:09,280 --> 00:23:12,720
Speaker 10: getting to Auburn. Jayala McLeod is somebody that was dynamic

562
00:23:12,760 --> 00:23:16,120
Speaker 10: for our defense, played a little bit on that edge

563
00:23:16,160 --> 00:23:18,480
Speaker 10: this season and was able to get some snaps at

564
00:23:18,920 --> 00:23:22,000
Speaker 10: inside backer and show what he can do at inside backer,

565
00:23:22,040 --> 00:23:25,040
Speaker 10: and uh, played really well when he was on the edge.

566
00:23:25,080 --> 00:23:28,000
Speaker 10: You know, had a strip sack against Alabama, a crucial

567
00:23:28,040 --> 00:23:31,040
Speaker 10: ship strict sacked for our team. And he's somebody that's

568
00:23:31,040 --> 00:23:33,920
Speaker 10: certainly decorated on the edge, able to do different types

569
00:23:33,920 --> 00:23:35,760
Speaker 10: of moves, finesse moves and power moves.

570
00:23:36,119 --> 00:23:38,320
Speaker 6: And then when you bring.

571
00:23:38,160 --> 00:23:40,480
Speaker 10: Him into inside backer, he's very physical within the run game,

572
00:23:40,680 --> 00:23:43,119
Speaker 10: being able to create knock back, being able to be

573
00:23:43,160 --> 00:23:45,679
Speaker 10: physical in his gap, and then being able to make

574
00:23:45,720 --> 00:23:47,600
Speaker 10: tackles on the ball carryer and be violent at the

575
00:23:47,640 --> 00:23:50,479
Speaker 10: point of attack. So that's who what Jayalen McLeod is,

576
00:23:50,520 --> 00:23:52,840
Speaker 10: that's what he brings to the table, and I'm excited

577
00:23:52,840 --> 00:23:54,240
Speaker 10: to have him as my running mate this week.

578
00:23:54,600 --> 00:23:57,000
Speaker 3: Well, you let me tell you, if you talk to

579
00:23:57,119 --> 00:23:58,879
Speaker 3: the guys in your NFL meetings what you did to me,

580
00:23:58,880 --> 00:23:59,919
Speaker 3: you're gonna knock their socks off.

581
00:24:00,040 --> 00:24:02,240
Speaker 6: Man. Thank you very much, really, thank you so much.

00:24:07,240 --> 00:24:08,520
Speaker 3: receiver Jalen how's it going, man?

585
00:24:08,560 --> 00:24:10,159
Speaker 9: I'm doing good man. How are you all right?

586
00:24:10,160 --> 00:24:10,240
Speaker 11: So?

587
00:24:10,240 --> 00:24:11,680
Speaker 3: I'm sure you've been thinking about this for a while

588
00:24:11,720 --> 00:24:14,440
Speaker 3: since your season ended. As you roll into Mobile here

589
00:24:14,440 --> 00:24:17,080
Speaker 3: for the Senior Bowl. What are the most important things

590
00:24:17,080 --> 00:24:19,439
Speaker 3: on your checklist you're trying to get across to NFL

591
00:24:19,480 --> 00:24:22,679
Speaker 3: decision makers as they experience you on the field and

592
00:24:22,800 --> 00:24:23,600
Speaker 3: off here in Mobile.

593
00:24:23,720 --> 00:24:25,960
Speaker 12: Yeah, you know, I want to show my versatility, you know,

594
00:24:26,080 --> 00:24:28,320
Speaker 12: show I can play inside or outside, you know, show

595
00:24:28,359 --> 00:24:30,760
Speaker 12: I can get open versus any coverage, and you know,

596
00:24:30,880 --> 00:24:33,040
Speaker 12: just show what an explosive player I am.

597
00:24:33,119 --> 00:24:35,240
Speaker 9: That's probably my biggest points that emphasis.

598
00:24:36,040 --> 00:24:37,639
Speaker 3: Why do you think an event like this is so

599
00:24:37,760 --> 00:24:39,520
Speaker 3: valuable for a player like you who's trying in a

600
00:24:39,560 --> 00:24:41,240
Speaker 3: wide receiver class that I think, by the way, is

601
00:24:41,280 --> 00:24:42,040
Speaker 3: pretty wide open.

602
00:24:42,040 --> 00:24:43,800
Speaker 2: This is like last year's class. There's a bunch of

603
00:24:43,880 --> 00:24:45,399
Speaker 2: guys that are gonna be top ten picks and stuff

604
00:24:45,440 --> 00:24:45,760
Speaker 2: like that.

605
00:24:46,480 --> 00:24:49,080
Speaker 3: Why do you think this event for you is useful

606
00:24:49,160 --> 00:24:51,080
Speaker 3: to try to show these guys, all right, I deserve

607
00:24:51,119 --> 00:24:52,360
Speaker 3: to be in consideration, maybe.

608
00:24:52,200 --> 00:24:53,880
Speaker 2: Higher than you might have thought before they came here.

609
00:24:54,080 --> 00:24:54,280
Speaker 8: Yeah.

610
00:24:54,320 --> 00:24:57,240
Speaker 12: Man, I think it's just this opportunity, you know, being

611
00:24:57,240 --> 00:25:00,360
Speaker 12: in mobile and uh, you know, just seeing and all

612
00:25:00,400 --> 00:25:02,320
Speaker 12: the great guys around and stuff like that. You know,

613
00:25:02,320 --> 00:25:04,040
Speaker 12: it's a I feel like we had a really strong

614
00:25:04,040 --> 00:25:06,919
Speaker 12: receiver class, but I feel like this is where you

615
00:25:06,920 --> 00:25:10,320
Speaker 12: can separate yourself and in a show why you deserve

616
00:25:10,400 --> 00:25:12,800
Speaker 12: to be picked higher or lower than you know.

617
00:25:13,000 --> 00:25:15,200
Speaker 3: Whoever, how many meetings have you had so far? We're

618
00:25:15,200 --> 00:25:17,720
Speaker 3: recording this on Tuesday morning. How many meetings have you

619
00:25:17,760 --> 00:25:19,720
Speaker 3: had in terms of what the coaches and your position

620
00:25:19,760 --> 00:25:20,360
Speaker 3: coaches so far?

621
00:25:22,040 --> 00:25:24,240
Speaker 12: How many means we we have like three or four.

622
00:25:24,440 --> 00:25:27,080
Speaker 12: They've been pretty lengthy. So yeah.

623
00:25:27,440 --> 00:25:29,240
Speaker 3: So how has it been trying to kind of learn

624
00:25:29,280 --> 00:25:32,400
Speaker 3: an NFL offense in a span of forty eight hours.

625
00:25:33,400 --> 00:25:35,480
Speaker 12: It hasn't been too challenging because you know, you see

626
00:25:35,480 --> 00:25:37,159
Speaker 12: a lot of the same concepts. I've been in a

627
00:25:37,200 --> 00:25:39,440
Speaker 12: lot of different offenses, but you know, it's just learning

628
00:25:39,440 --> 00:25:43,200
Speaker 12: the lingo and just memorizing things. So it hasn't been crazy,

629
00:25:43,240 --> 00:25:45,520
Speaker 12: but you know, I've had to push my limits a

630
00:25:45,520 --> 00:25:45,920
Speaker 12: little bit.

631
00:25:46,119 --> 00:25:47,240
Speaker 2: How many systems have you been in?

632
00:25:47,840 --> 00:25:52,560
Speaker 12: Uh, well, I've had four different ocs throughout my college career.

633
00:25:53,160 --> 00:25:55,159
Speaker 9: I've only been on two teams.

634
00:25:54,480 --> 00:25:59,760
Speaker 3: So how valuable has that been for you having I'm

635
00:25:59,760 --> 00:26:03,240
Speaker 3: sure at the time it sucked. Yeah, now that you've

636
00:26:03,280 --> 00:26:05,040
Speaker 3: come through it, how valuable was it to you to

637
00:26:05,080 --> 00:26:07,120
Speaker 3: be to be able to have to learn that many

638
00:26:07,119 --> 00:26:08,320
Speaker 3: systems on your college career?

639
00:26:08,400 --> 00:26:11,119
Speaker 12: I think it would really helped me out because you know,

640
00:26:11,200 --> 00:26:15,040
Speaker 12: I've got different picked up different things from each system.

641
00:26:15,440 --> 00:26:17,080
Speaker 12: You know, I feel I can play in any system,

642
00:26:17,680 --> 00:26:20,120
Speaker 12: and you know, I feel it's definitely helped me grow

643
00:26:20,160 --> 00:26:21,160
Speaker 12: as a player.

644
00:26:20,840 --> 00:26:22,879
Speaker 9: And you know, it made me get to where I

645
00:26:22,880 --> 00:26:23,560
Speaker 9: am today.

646
00:26:23,840 --> 00:26:26,960
Speaker 3: Which coordinator, which particular system you think is most like

647
00:26:27,040 --> 00:26:28,719
Speaker 3: what you're going to be asked to do in the NFL?

648
00:26:29,960 --> 00:26:32,119
Speaker 12: I would say Middisine, I see it was a lot

649
00:26:32,160 --> 00:26:35,080
Speaker 12: of spread, a lot of air raids, So definitely my

650
00:26:35,160 --> 00:26:38,320
Speaker 12: Virginia Tech system. You know, it's a lot of RPO based,

651
00:26:39,520 --> 00:26:43,040
Speaker 12: some twelve personnel stuff like that, So I'd say more

652
00:26:43,080 --> 00:26:43,920
Speaker 12: like Virginia Tech.

653
00:26:44,560 --> 00:26:46,119
Speaker 3: What was that jump like for you when you made

654
00:26:46,119 --> 00:26:48,600
Speaker 3: the jump from Middle Tennessee to Virginia Tech And I'm

655
00:26:48,640 --> 00:26:50,760
Speaker 3: sure you thought things would be a certain way. Did

656
00:26:50,760 --> 00:26:53,719
Speaker 3: they match your expectations? And with the level jump, like,

657
00:26:53,840 --> 00:26:54,800
Speaker 3: what changed for you.

658
00:26:54,760 --> 00:26:55,360
Speaker 2: As a player.

659
00:26:55,640 --> 00:26:59,440
Speaker 12: I'd say, you know, it definitely matched my expectations because

660
00:26:59,480 --> 00:27:02,600
Speaker 12: I feel like, you know, all through FBS, no matter

661
00:27:02,600 --> 00:27:05,399
Speaker 12: if you're G five, P four, P five or whatever,

662
00:27:05,440 --> 00:27:07,879
Speaker 12: I feel like skill positions there's not too big of

663
00:27:07,920 --> 00:27:11,440
Speaker 12: a drop off, you know, like there's great guys everywhere,

664
00:27:11,760 --> 00:27:13,879
Speaker 12: but you know, in the box is a little different

665
00:27:14,440 --> 00:27:14,840
Speaker 12: for sure.

666
00:27:15,840 --> 00:27:17,800
Speaker 9: Yeah, bigger dudes for sure. Definitely.

667
00:27:17,920 --> 00:27:20,679
Speaker 3: Yeah, I covered I covered the EDDEC for like fifteen

668
00:27:20,760 --> 00:27:22,120
Speaker 3: years for like Sacred Heart.

669
00:27:22,600 --> 00:27:25,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, so I was in that was in the FCS world.

670
00:27:25,320 --> 00:27:27,920
Speaker 3: For Yeah, there's a lot of good levels and definite

671
00:27:27,960 --> 00:27:30,639
Speaker 3: a lot of the players in those programs with the Transferporter, Now,

672
00:27:30,640 --> 00:27:32,960
Speaker 3: do you think it's given more opportunities for you guys

673
00:27:33,000 --> 00:27:35,639
Speaker 3: at these smaller programs to hook up with some of

674
00:27:35,680 --> 00:27:37,600
Speaker 3: these bigger schools and really show people what you can do.

675
00:27:37,720 --> 00:27:38,320
Speaker 9: Yeah, for sure.

676
00:27:38,480 --> 00:27:40,640
Speaker 12: Like I feel like the only thing that Transfer Porter

677
00:27:40,760 --> 00:27:42,560
Speaker 12: is hurting is high school guys. You know, I feel

678
00:27:42,600 --> 00:27:48,080
Speaker 12: like guys coming from FCS F or G five or

679
00:27:48,119 --> 00:27:50,040
Speaker 12: whatever have great opportunities.

680
00:27:50,080 --> 00:27:51,720
Speaker 9: Now. I know, Virginia Tech.

681
00:27:51,600 --> 00:27:54,479
Speaker 12: Picked up like four or five G five guys already

682
00:27:54,480 --> 00:27:56,760
Speaker 12: in the Transfer Porter this year, So yeah, I think

683
00:27:56,800 --> 00:27:57,800
Speaker 12: it's good for them.

684
00:27:57,960 --> 00:28:01,199
Speaker 3: All right, you have a teammate here, fellow receiver Felton.

685
00:28:01,359 --> 00:28:03,359
Speaker 3: Tell me about him. Give me your scating report on

686
00:28:03,440 --> 00:28:04,879
Speaker 3: Dake one and kind of what makes him special?

687
00:28:05,160 --> 00:28:05,360
Speaker 2: Uh?

688
00:28:05,480 --> 00:28:05,920
Speaker 9: Day one?

689
00:28:06,040 --> 00:28:09,719
Speaker 12: I mean he's what six four two fifteen, two twenty

690
00:28:09,800 --> 00:28:12,480
Speaker 12: and can slide so like he's already a freaking nature.

691
00:28:12,880 --> 00:28:15,359
Speaker 12: But you know, I think what speaks more importantly is

692
00:28:15,359 --> 00:28:17,920
Speaker 12: his work ethic. Like he's always pushing me. I'm always

693
00:28:17,920 --> 00:28:19,960
Speaker 12: pushing him. We you know, we go hand in hand

694
00:28:19,960 --> 00:28:22,679
Speaker 12: wherever we go, and just how hard we work. So

695
00:28:22,760 --> 00:28:25,000
Speaker 12: you know, I'm I'm proud of him where you know

696
00:28:25,040 --> 00:28:27,439
Speaker 12: where his game has gotten him, and I'm ready to

697
00:28:27,440 --> 00:28:28,560
Speaker 12: see him work today too.

698
00:28:29,080 --> 00:28:30,480
Speaker 3: Give me a feel for your game for fans that

699
00:28:30,520 --> 00:28:33,159
Speaker 3: maybe haven't watched you play a ton. Yeah, do you

700
00:28:33,960 --> 00:28:36,520
Speaker 3: if I'd ask you if an evaluator asked you this week?

701
00:28:36,520 --> 00:28:38,360
Speaker 2: All right, what's your bread and butter? If there's a

702
00:28:38,520 --> 00:28:40,400
Speaker 2: go to thing that makes you a good wide receiver?

703
00:28:40,440 --> 00:28:40,960
Speaker 2: What would you sk?

704
00:28:40,960 --> 00:28:44,440
Speaker 12: I say, my versatility. I've played inside outside of my career.

705
00:28:44,440 --> 00:28:47,600
Speaker 12: I've done stuff out the backfield, reversus whatever the case

706
00:28:47,640 --> 00:28:50,400
Speaker 12: may be, and also stuff on special teams in the

707
00:28:50,440 --> 00:28:53,320
Speaker 12: return game, covering whatever the case may be. So you know,

708
00:28:53,320 --> 00:28:55,520
Speaker 12: I feel like I'm a very versatile guy and you

709
00:28:55,520 --> 00:28:57,160
Speaker 12: can get me the ball anyway and I can make

710
00:28:57,200 --> 00:28:57,680
Speaker 12: something happen.

711
00:28:57,720 --> 00:28:59,160
Speaker 2: What do you think your best spot is right now?

712
00:29:00,320 --> 00:29:00,560
Speaker 9: Best?

713
00:29:00,600 --> 00:29:04,000
Speaker 12: I mean the last thing I played mostly slided Virginia Tech.

714
00:29:04,800 --> 00:29:08,920
Speaker 12: But you know, I'm comfortable inside or outside, So I

715
00:29:08,960 --> 00:29:11,120
Speaker 12: don't know what would be my best one, but I'm

716
00:29:11,160 --> 00:29:12,200
Speaker 12: excited to showcase both.

717
00:29:12,400 --> 00:29:15,000
Speaker 3: I was like asking players, what are the different skill

718
00:29:15,040 --> 00:29:17,560
Speaker 3: sets you need to be an effective slot wide receiver

719
00:29:17,680 --> 00:29:19,360
Speaker 3: versus an effective outside wide receiver.

720
00:29:19,560 --> 00:29:21,920
Speaker 12: Yeah, so being on the outside, you're gonna see a

721
00:29:21,920 --> 00:29:24,600
Speaker 12: lot more press. Got to be able to work releases,

722
00:29:24,720 --> 00:29:27,000
Speaker 12: got to be able to get off you know, hard

723
00:29:27,200 --> 00:29:29,880
Speaker 12: tough coverage in the slot. You don't see a lot

724
00:29:29,960 --> 00:29:32,760
Speaker 12: of safeties, a lot of nickels, not really a lot

725
00:29:32,760 --> 00:29:34,800
Speaker 12: of press, a lot of free releases. So you know,

726
00:29:34,960 --> 00:29:37,920
Speaker 12: just being crafty and you know knowing how to use

727
00:29:37,960 --> 00:29:40,880
Speaker 12: your body, lean and be deceptive in your route running.

728
00:29:41,040 --> 00:29:43,320
Speaker 3: You mentioned special teams, so you're gonna be asked to

729
00:29:43,320 --> 00:29:46,040
Speaker 3: play special teams right sure? When they ask you what

730
00:29:46,200 --> 00:29:48,360
Speaker 3: your best role is on special teams where you can

731
00:29:48,360 --> 00:29:49,680
Speaker 3: fit in, what would you tell.

732
00:29:49,560 --> 00:29:52,560
Speaker 12: Us an off rip returner, Like I've returned a lot

733
00:29:52,560 --> 00:29:54,360
Speaker 12: of punchs, returned a lot of kicks in my career.

734
00:29:54,560 --> 00:29:56,880
Speaker 9: I'm very confident back there. I believe I can do it.

735
00:29:57,040 --> 00:29:59,240
Speaker 12: But also, you know, I can play gunner, I run

736
00:29:59,240 --> 00:30:01,760
Speaker 12: down on kickoff with for you know, I feel I

737
00:30:01,760 --> 00:30:03,240
Speaker 12: can do it all whatever you need.

738
00:30:04,120 --> 00:30:07,400
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean they're gonna love hearing that, right, So,

739
00:30:07,520 --> 00:30:10,080
Speaker 3: how about in a short period of time trying to

740
00:30:10,120 --> 00:30:13,520
Speaker 3: gain chemistry with your quarterbacks? I gotta imagine that's hard, right,

741
00:30:13,560 --> 00:30:15,000
Speaker 3: They need to know how quickly you're coming in out

742
00:30:15,000 --> 00:30:17,160
Speaker 3: of breaks, what your top speed is, right, trying to

743
00:30:17,200 --> 00:30:19,440
Speaker 3: lead you. So how have you tried to You haven't

744
00:30:19,440 --> 00:30:20,840
Speaker 3: been on the field yet, so how have you tried

745
00:30:20,840 --> 00:30:22,520
Speaker 3: to kind of talk to your quarterbacks and try to

746
00:30:22,520 --> 00:30:23,080
Speaker 3: figure that out?

747
00:30:23,280 --> 00:30:25,560
Speaker 12: You know, it's really just getting to know them, you know,

748
00:30:25,720 --> 00:30:29,640
Speaker 12: just talking to them on regular conversations. Also, we've kind

749
00:30:29,640 --> 00:30:31,600
Speaker 12: of just talked through route running and stuff, so they

750
00:30:31,640 --> 00:30:34,120
Speaker 12: know what to expect from each route. And you know,

751
00:30:34,160 --> 00:30:37,800
Speaker 12: we just gotta you know, obviously we want to be crafty,

752
00:30:37,880 --> 00:30:40,480
Speaker 12: but also not deviate too much from what we know,

753
00:30:40,600 --> 00:30:42,720
Speaker 12: just because we don't have a lot of chemistry with them.

754
00:30:42,640 --> 00:30:45,520
Speaker 3: So absolutely, final question for you. You got two defensive

755
00:30:45,520 --> 00:30:47,120
Speaker 3: players here as well for your team. I want to

756
00:30:47,120 --> 00:30:51,080
Speaker 3: ask about them. Give me your cornerback, Dorian Strong scatting report.

757
00:30:51,080 --> 00:30:52,840
Speaker 3: I'm sure you win against them in practice.

758
00:30:52,600 --> 00:31:00,680
Speaker 12: Definitely the strong, very strong, corner fast, very physical. You know,

759
00:31:00,720 --> 00:31:02,640
Speaker 12: I'm proud of him. You know, me going back and

760
00:31:02,680 --> 00:31:05,080

Speaker 12: me Kwan and him just just going at it really,

762
00:31:08,560 --> 00:31:10,880

763
00:31:10,960 --> 00:31:12,000
Speaker 12: him for getting here.

764
00:31:12,120 --> 00:31:13,400
Speaker 3: And I'm sure you didn't run into him long on

765
00:31:13,400 --> 00:31:16,200
Speaker 3: the practice field, and if you did, that probably wasn't

766
00:31:16,200 --> 00:31:19,920
Speaker 3: good for But in these people's the big defensive blonding.

767
00:31:19,680 --> 00:31:21,880
Speaker 9: Man people's he's different. He's a dog.

768
00:31:23,080 --> 00:31:25,520
Speaker 12: I haven't seen an interior line and be able to

769
00:31:25,520 --> 00:31:28,719
Speaker 12: move like he can, hitting spin moves and stuff in

770
00:31:28,800 --> 00:31:31,720
Speaker 12: game get sex. So yeah, I'm excited to see what

781
00:31:54,480 --> 00:31:55,880
Speaker 13: definitely be working some guard and tackle.

782
00:31:56,040 --> 00:31:56,240
Speaker 2: Yeah.

783
00:31:56,280 --> 00:31:59,000
Speaker 3: So the last tear you started to tackle the three

784
00:31:59,080 --> 00:32:01,120
Speaker 3: years ago, I guess it was started at guard, right.

785
00:32:01,800 --> 00:32:03,800
Speaker 2: Do you feel comfortable at both spots?

786
00:32:04,040 --> 00:32:06,360
Speaker 14: Yeah, I mean it's been a while since I played guard,

787
00:32:06,400 --> 00:32:09,960
Speaker 14: but I feel like it's, you know, pretty pretty simple

788
00:32:10,040 --> 00:32:12,160
Speaker 14: in terms of transitioning from position to position.

789
00:32:12,520 --> 00:32:14,760
Speaker 2: What was the biggest challenge for you transitioning from guard

790
00:32:14,800 --> 00:32:15,280
Speaker 2: to tackle?

791
00:32:15,800 --> 00:32:20,160
Speaker 14: Kind of just learning the pocket awareness, you know, how

792
00:32:20,200 --> 00:32:20,920
Speaker 14: deep you have to.

793
00:32:20,880 --> 00:32:22,080
Speaker 13: Set all types of things.

794
00:32:22,080 --> 00:32:24,360
Speaker 14: I mean, it was it was a super different game

795
00:32:24,480 --> 00:32:26,440
Speaker 14: going from tackle to guard, I mean guard to tackle.

796
00:32:26,480 --> 00:32:27,760
Speaker 13: But I feel like it's a lot easier to go

797
00:32:27,800 --> 00:32:29,120
Speaker 13: from tackle to guard in the sense.

798
00:32:29,480 --> 00:32:31,120
Speaker 3: Yeah, And I'll be honest with you, I think it

799
00:32:31,320 --> 00:32:34,440
Speaker 3: going to tackle play to your strengths. Like I watched

800
00:32:34,480 --> 00:32:37,120
Speaker 3: you heading into this to prepare for these interviews and

801
00:32:37,120 --> 00:32:40,840
Speaker 3: to watch your practice and in space you move really well.

802
00:32:40,880 --> 00:32:43,080
Speaker 3: Did you consider your feet and your ability to move

803
00:32:43,080 --> 00:32:45,200
Speaker 3: and get wide and do your kick the strength of

804
00:32:45,240 --> 00:32:45,680
Speaker 3: your game.

805
00:32:46,080 --> 00:32:49,320
Speaker 14: I feel like it definitely helps my athleticism, definitely advances

806
00:32:49,400 --> 00:32:51,160
Speaker 14: part of my game, and it helps me, you know,

807
00:32:51,280 --> 00:32:56,560
Speaker 14: win reps. But I feel like just after transitioning from

808
00:32:56,600 --> 00:32:58,600
Speaker 14: guard to tackle and kind of figuring out, you know,

809
00:32:58,680 --> 00:33:01,720
Speaker 14: the spacing of the position and the pocket presence and

810
00:33:01,720 --> 00:33:02,600
Speaker 14: all that kind of helped.

811
00:33:02,640 --> 00:33:03,280
Speaker 13: It helped me a lot.

812
00:33:04,840 --> 00:33:06,680
Speaker 3: When you go when you train and you know you're

813
00:33:06,720 --> 00:33:08,440
Speaker 3: doing your stuff, getting ready for the draft and all

814
00:33:08,440 --> 00:33:10,239
Speaker 3: this stuff, what are you really working on right now?

815
00:33:10,240 --> 00:33:12,000
Speaker 3: Where are you trying to make the most improvement in

816
00:33:12,040 --> 00:33:12,360
Speaker 3: your game.

817
00:33:12,680 --> 00:33:15,480
Speaker 14: I'm really working on first my body, just trying to

818
00:33:15,480 --> 00:33:19,440
Speaker 14: get stronger and as athletic as I can be. I'm

819
00:33:19,440 --> 00:33:21,560
Speaker 14: working on my pass sets, I'm working on my get offs.

820
00:33:21,600 --> 00:33:24,640
Speaker 14: I'm working on snapping and playing all five positions. So

821
00:33:25,200 --> 00:33:27,280
Speaker 14: I'm just trying to better myself as off as the

822
00:33:27,320 --> 00:33:28,400
Speaker 14: line went overall.

823
00:33:29,080 --> 00:33:30,600
Speaker 2: Over the course of your college career, where do you

824
00:33:30,640 --> 00:33:32,640
Speaker 2: think you've made the most improvement? What part of game

825
00:33:32,680 --> 00:33:34,080
Speaker 2: you think has gotten better.

826
00:33:35,720 --> 00:33:39,080
Speaker 14: I'd like to say my understanding of the game is

827
00:33:39,120 --> 00:33:44,360
Speaker 14: taking an intense an intense jump just because coming out

828
00:33:44,360 --> 00:33:44,880
Speaker 14: of high school.

829
00:33:44,880 --> 00:33:46,120
Speaker 13: I wasn't the biggest football guy.

830
00:33:46,160 --> 00:33:49,760
Speaker 14: I didn't really know until about junior. Senior year is

831
00:33:49,760 --> 00:33:52,040
Speaker 14: when I really started to, you know, lock in and

832
00:33:52,360 --> 00:33:55,040
Speaker 14: figure it out for real. But I'd say that was

833
00:33:55,080 --> 00:33:56,200
Speaker 14: probably the biggest jump.

834
00:33:57,680 --> 00:33:59,480
Speaker 3: Is that something you're trying to get across the NFL

835
00:33:59,560 --> 00:34:01,520
Speaker 3: teams that you still have a lot of room to

836
00:34:01,560 --> 00:34:04,360
Speaker 3: grow because you didn't really hit football.

837
00:34:04,680 --> 00:34:05,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, younger in life.

838
00:34:05,600 --> 00:34:08,360
Speaker 14: I feel like, you know, ever since I started playing,

839
00:34:08,440 --> 00:34:11,200
Speaker 14: especially in college, I've taken steps and getting better each year.

840
00:34:11,320 --> 00:34:14,239
Speaker 14: So and I don't feel like my ceilings here yet.

841
00:34:14,280 --> 00:34:15,960
Speaker 14: So I'm excited to keep going and keep working.

842
00:34:16,120 --> 00:34:17,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, the reason I was on my phone, I'm trying

843
00:34:17,520 --> 00:34:19,359
Speaker 3: to bring up your measurements, and yesterday is six four

844
00:34:19,440 --> 00:34:22,160
Speaker 3: three or nine thirty three in charms it's three no nine.

845
00:34:22,600 --> 00:34:24,040
Speaker 2: Where you want to play or do you want to

846
00:34:24,080 --> 00:34:24,600
Speaker 2: try to put.

847
00:34:24,480 --> 00:34:26,560
Speaker 14: On a little spro with solid? I mean, I wouldn't

848
00:34:26,600 --> 00:34:29,279
Speaker 14: mind putting on some more if I had to. I

849
00:34:29,280 --> 00:34:31,160
Speaker 14: feel like I'm in a good spot as of right now.

850
00:34:31,840 --> 00:34:35,360
Speaker 3: As you meet with NFL teams this week and you

851
00:34:35,440 --> 00:34:37,840
Speaker 3: talk to them in the meetings and scouts and GMS

852
00:34:37,840 --> 00:34:39,600
Speaker 3: and stuff like that, what do you want to get

853
00:34:39,600 --> 00:34:41,840
Speaker 3: across them about you as a person and how you

854
00:34:41,880 --> 00:34:42,520
Speaker 3: approached the game.

855
00:34:43,440 --> 00:34:45,080
Speaker 13: I want them to know that, let them know that

856
00:34:45,120 --> 00:34:47,640
Speaker 13: I'm serious. I'm as serious as it gets about the game.

857
00:34:47,920 --> 00:34:50,239
Speaker 14: I love football, I love playing the position, and I

858
00:34:50,320 --> 00:34:51,839
Speaker 14: just want them to know that I want to be

859
00:34:51,960 --> 00:34:53,720
Speaker 14: one of the best to ever play the position.

860
00:34:54,000 --> 00:34:55,440
Speaker 3: All Right, And then when you hit the field and

861
00:34:55,480 --> 00:34:57,399
Speaker 3: you start doing your one on ones against these very

862
00:34:57,440 --> 00:35:01,080
Speaker 3: talented defensive linemen and stuff like that, what do you

863
00:35:01,120 --> 00:35:03,520
Speaker 3: want to show them about you as a player once the.

864
00:35:03,440 --> 00:35:05,920
Speaker 13: Helmet comes on. I just want to let it be

865
00:35:05,960 --> 00:35:07,360
Speaker 13: known that I'm one of the best in the country.

866
00:35:07,600 --> 00:35:08,239
Speaker 9: Uh.

867
00:35:08,280 --> 00:35:11,200
Speaker 13: And I feel like this is a great opportunity to go.

868
00:35:11,120 --> 00:35:13,560
Speaker 2: Showcase the who is the toughest pass rusher you want

869
00:35:13,600 --> 00:35:14,279
Speaker 2: up against this year?

870
00:35:14,280 --> 00:35:18,680
Speaker 13: And again, probably I'm due a Carter.

871
00:35:19,520 --> 00:35:22,400
Speaker 14: Didn't get many reps against them, but it's probably the

872
00:35:22,640 --> 00:35:23,880
Speaker 14: one more noticeable.

873
00:35:23,920 --> 00:35:24,200
Speaker 8: Guys.

874
00:35:24,480 --> 00:35:25,120
Speaker 2: That's a good name.

875
00:35:25,680 --> 00:35:26,360
Speaker 13: He's a good player.

876
00:35:26,400 --> 00:35:26,960
Speaker 2: Absolutely.

877
00:35:27,520 --> 00:35:29,480
Speaker 3: When you talk about technique in the offensive line, I

878
00:35:29,480 --> 00:35:32,760
Speaker 3: think people, you know, they don't understand exactly how technical

879
00:35:32,800 --> 00:35:34,640
Speaker 3: it is. What do you think the most important thing

880
00:35:35,480 --> 00:35:38,200
Speaker 3: is for an offensive tackle, specifically to be able to

881
00:35:38,239 --> 00:35:41,920
Speaker 3: do well consistently to be effective in blocking pass rushers.

882
00:35:42,000 --> 00:35:44,080
Speaker 14: I'd say it's either your feet or your hands. To

883
00:35:44,080 --> 00:35:45,840
Speaker 14: be honest, I mean, you gotta you always got to

884
00:35:45,880 --> 00:35:48,399
Speaker 14: stay in front of the guy. That's a really big

885
00:35:48,440 --> 00:35:50,080
Speaker 14: part of the game. If your feet are of you're

886
00:35:50,080 --> 00:35:51,719
Speaker 14: gonna lose the rep, you know what I mean. So

887
00:35:52,200 --> 00:35:53,280
Speaker 14: you gotta have good feet.

888
00:35:53,320 --> 00:35:55,759
Speaker 13: And I think hands are close second to that too.

889
00:35:55,840 --> 00:35:58,080
Speaker 14: If you gotta, if you have good hand fighting and

890
00:35:58,719 --> 00:36:00,600
Speaker 14: you know how to keep a good keep a good

891
00:36:00,640 --> 00:36:02,360
Speaker 14: distance between you and the guy, I feel.

892
00:36:02,120 --> 00:36:04,520
Speaker 13: Like it's it's gonna do you do your great things.

893
00:36:04,800 --> 00:36:05,000
Speaker 2: Yeah.

894
00:36:05,040 --> 00:36:06,919
Speaker 3: And when you talk about hands, right, I mean getting

895
00:36:06,960 --> 00:36:09,759
Speaker 3: your hands inside is so important as an offensive line

896
00:36:09,880 --> 00:36:12,200
Speaker 3: right Once, once that defensive lineman gets his hands in

897
00:36:12,280 --> 00:36:14,680
Speaker 3: on your chest, you're kind of cooked right to.

898
00:36:14,840 --> 00:36:17,160
Speaker 14: Yeah, once you figure it out. I mean, if you listen,

899
00:36:17,160 --> 00:36:18,319
Speaker 14: you know how to counter and beat it.

900
00:36:18,360 --> 00:36:21,640
Speaker 13: You know the lifting, you can chop it, sure stuff.

901
00:36:21,800 --> 00:36:23,480
Speaker 3: And you talk about the feed of hands, you've got

902
00:36:23,560 --> 00:36:26,280
Speaker 3: to tie them up too, right like they those have to.

903
00:36:26,320 --> 00:36:27,600
Speaker 2: How much work does that take?

904
00:36:27,640 --> 00:36:30,400
Speaker 3: And practice and reping it to get that timed up

905
00:36:30,440 --> 00:36:32,200
Speaker 3: right so the feet match the hands so you can

906
00:36:32,200 --> 00:36:33,520
Speaker 3: effectively block some of these guys.

907
00:36:33,600 --> 00:36:36,239
Speaker 14: Feel like it comes with repetitions for sure, Like you

908
00:36:36,280 --> 00:36:39,600
Speaker 14: were saying, just getting more reps playing in game.

909
00:36:39,680 --> 00:36:41,799
Speaker 13: I feel like it builds over time.

910
00:36:41,840 --> 00:36:45,120
Speaker 14: It's definitely not the same probably process for everybody or

911
00:36:45,480 --> 00:36:46,080
Speaker 14: the same rate.

912
00:36:46,840 --> 00:36:48,640
Speaker 13: I feel like it definitely comes with repetition.

913
00:36:49,040 --> 00:36:50,640
Speaker 3: You mentioned you're not sure if you're doing anything on

914
00:36:50,680 --> 00:36:52,560
Speaker 3: the left side this week. Is that something you're working

915
00:36:52,560 --> 00:36:54,840
Speaker 3: on in training on the side, working stuff on the

916
00:36:55,000 --> 00:36:55,239
Speaker 3: side of.

917
00:36:55,440 --> 00:36:58,000
Speaker 14: Working, Yeah, left and right whenever, you know, we're all

918
00:36:58,040 --> 00:37:00,880
Speaker 14: doing position work. But they didn't say anything to me

919
00:37:00,920 --> 00:37:01,480
Speaker 14: about it yet.

920
00:37:01,560 --> 00:37:03,960
Speaker 2: Sure, absolutely, Okay, we talked about the past game. How

921
00:37:04,000 --> 00:37:04,680
Speaker 2: about the run game.

922
00:37:04,680 --> 00:37:05,880
Speaker 3: What are some of the things that you think you

923
00:37:05,960 --> 00:37:08,080
Speaker 3: have to be good at or to be successful, you know,

924
00:37:08,160 --> 00:37:10,000
Speaker 3: getting some pushing and being good as a run block.

925
00:37:10,239 --> 00:37:12,879
Speaker 14: I feel like most about the most important thing really

926
00:37:13,000 --> 00:37:14,000
Speaker 14: is kind of mentality.

927
00:37:14,160 --> 00:37:15,480
Speaker 13: You know, you got to be able to want to

928
00:37:15,520 --> 00:37:17,680
Speaker 13: do it, and you got to just have the will

929
00:37:17,760 --> 00:37:18,840
Speaker 13: to move the person in front of you.

930
00:37:18,960 --> 00:37:22,160
Speaker 14: I honestly think that's probably the biggest thing because most

931
00:37:22,160 --> 00:37:24,520
Speaker 14: of us are most on linemen are big enough, and

932
00:37:24,640 --> 00:37:26,200
Speaker 14: all you gotta do is just run and.

933
00:37:26,719 --> 00:37:28,600
Speaker 13: Have solid technique and you'll move them, you know what

934
00:37:28,640 --> 00:37:28,920
Speaker 13: I mean.

935
00:37:29,000 --> 00:37:33,719
Speaker 14: So I feel like probably pad level and mentality is

936
00:37:33,719 --> 00:37:35,120
Speaker 14: probably the biggest thing in the run game.

937
00:37:35,719 --> 00:37:37,359
Speaker 2: You talked about how final question.

938
00:37:37,520 --> 00:37:39,600
Speaker 3: You're still figuring things out right, You got the football

939
00:37:39,640 --> 00:37:41,960
Speaker 3: lage's working, only your technique and stuff like that. But

940
00:37:42,280 --> 00:37:45,520
Speaker 3: just from a physical gifts and athletic perspective, do you

941
00:37:45,600 --> 00:37:48,560
Speaker 3: feel like you're one of the top, if not the

942
00:37:48,640 --> 00:37:50,360
Speaker 3: top offensive tackles in this track class.

943
00:37:50,480 --> 00:37:53,319
Speaker 14: Yeah, I feel like just from what I put on

944
00:37:53,360 --> 00:37:56,920
Speaker 14: tape this year, the different pass sets and the different

945
00:37:56,920 --> 00:37:59,040

00:38:06,840 --> 00:38:08,640
Speaker 3: This isn't going to after the practice or don't worry

951
00:38:08,640 --> 00:38:10,440
Speaker 3: about it, But anyone in particular, when you look at

952
00:38:10,440 --> 00:38:13,360
Speaker 3: the defensive lineman in your group that you're pretty excited

00:38:28,760 --> 00:38:31,640
Speaker 14: But otherwise. I mean, I've watched most tape on most

961
00:38:31,680 --> 00:38:33,440
Speaker 14: of these guys. They all seem like some great players,

962

Speaker 2: So that's interesting.

964
00:38:36,960 --> 00:38:39,040
Speaker 3: How much tape work did you do on the guys

965
00:38:39,080 --> 00:38:40,480
Speaker 3: you're gonna be going, I'll go one up against the

966
00:38:40,480 --> 00:38:42,400
Speaker 3: practice so you aren't surprised because you know what if

967
00:38:42,400 --> 00:38:44,640
Speaker 3: you get surprised by a move that makes you looking

968
00:38:44,719 --> 00:38:46,040
Speaker 3: for the bad in front of the scouts.

969
00:38:46,320 --> 00:38:47,880
Speaker 2: How much work did you do on these guys, so

970
00:38:47,920 --> 00:38:48,560
Speaker 2: you're kind of.

971
00:38:48,960 --> 00:38:50,040
Speaker 13: A good solid amount of work.

972
00:38:50,080 --> 00:38:52,680
Speaker 14: I mean, it's a little bit tough not having the

973
00:38:52,719 --> 00:38:55,080
Speaker 14: resources I did at Purdue in terms of film.

974
00:38:54,840 --> 00:38:57,480
Speaker 2: Access, but you know, I searching YouTube.

975
00:38:58,160 --> 00:38:59,799
Speaker 14: I had to ask my guy for a couple of

976
00:38:59,800 --> 00:39:01,560
Speaker 14: games and he threw them in there for me, thaying,

977
00:39:01,840 --> 00:39:04,040
Speaker 14: but probably watch a couple games on each.

978
00:39:03,920 --> 00:39:05,640
Speaker 13: Guy, you know, just try and understand how they're plan

979
00:39:05,800 --> 00:39:06,520
Speaker 13: what their moves are.

Speaker 3: been so far in these meetings with these NFL coaches

997
00:39:44,920 --> 00:39:47,440

998
00:39:47,880 --> 00:39:50,239
Speaker 11: Yeah, I mean it's been a great experience. Like you said,

999
00:39:50,280 --> 00:39:52,320
Speaker 11: I mean it's a little hectic these first couple of days,

1000
00:39:52,320 --> 00:39:54,319
Speaker 11: but I mean you're just taking it all in like

1001
00:39:54,360 --> 00:39:57,520
Speaker 11: a sponge and just learning everything you can from these guys,

1002
00:39:57,560 --> 00:39:59,040
Speaker 11: and it's gonna be a great experience.

1003
00:39:59,160 --> 00:40:01,399

Speaker 2: What's that experience been like so far?

1006
00:40:04,480 --> 00:40:08,600
Speaker 11: It's been great. Yeah, he's at our offensive coordinator, So

1007
00:40:09,120 --> 00:40:11,120
Speaker 11: I'm learning from him and learning from all the other

1008
00:40:11,120 --> 00:40:12,960
Speaker 11: people in the facility.

1009
00:40:13,040 --> 00:40:14,480
Speaker 6: Has been great and it's going to be a great

1010
00:40:14,520 --> 00:40:15,200
Speaker 6: process for sure.

1011
00:40:15,320 --> 00:40:15,480
Speaker 9: Yeah.

1012
00:40:15,520 --> 00:40:17,440
Speaker 3: Joel Thomas, our running bass coach, he's excited, has a

1013
00:40:17,520 --> 00:40:19,440
Speaker 3: chance to kind of, you know, spread out and and

1014
00:40:19,960 --> 00:40:21,600
Speaker 3: kind of do everything. Now for people that don't know

1015
00:40:21,640 --> 00:40:23,920
Speaker 3: your daddy, Jason Teller, your uncle Zac Thomas, I'm sure

1016
00:40:23,920 --> 00:40:24,839
Speaker 3: you're tired of being as this.

1017
00:40:24,840 --> 00:40:26,000
Speaker 2: Question, but they'll asking anyway.

1018
00:40:26,320 --> 00:40:28,640
Speaker 3: What kind of advice have they given you about this

1019
00:40:28,680 --> 00:40:31,600
Speaker 3: process as you move forward down here trying to show

1020
00:40:31,640 --> 00:40:34,000
Speaker 3: the best side of yourself to NFL evaluators down here.

1021
00:40:34,320 --> 00:40:37,000
Speaker 11: Yeah, you know, just be be yourself, be he who

1022
00:40:37,000 --> 00:40:39,480
Speaker 11: you're taught to be, and that's just being hard working

1023
00:40:39,520 --> 00:40:41,600
Speaker 11: and putting your head down and being consistent. So just

1024
00:40:41,640 --> 00:40:44,800
Speaker 11: being yourself and being where your feet are every single

1025
00:40:44,840 --> 00:40:47,120
Speaker 11: day and giving it your all every day and you'll

1026
00:40:47,120 --> 00:40:47,720
Speaker 11: be just fine.

1027
00:40:48,200 --> 00:40:48,840
Speaker 2: How cool is it?

1028
00:40:48,920 --> 00:40:50,600
Speaker 3: You know a couple of years ago, a guy you

1029
00:40:50,600 --> 00:40:52,480
Speaker 3: were a three year player at LSU, you wouldn't be

1030
00:40:52,520 --> 00:40:54,759
Speaker 3: eligible to come to a game like this, right is?

1031
00:40:55,680 --> 00:40:56,520
Speaker 3: Have you graduated yet?

1032
00:40:56,560 --> 00:40:56,879
Speaker 9: Or no?

1033
00:40:56,880 --> 00:40:56,960
Speaker 13: No?

1034
00:40:57,000 --> 00:40:57,520
Speaker 8: I graduated?

1035
00:40:57,920 --> 00:40:59,200
Speaker 2: There you go, So you wouldn't even be able to

1036
00:40:59,200 --> 00:40:59,480
Speaker 2: be here.

1037
00:40:59,520 --> 00:41:02,640
Speaker 3: How cool now that they give opportunities to underclassmen to

1038
00:41:02,640 --> 00:41:03,480
Speaker 3: come to games like this.

1039
00:41:03,800 --> 00:41:06,239
Speaker 11: Yeah, I mean it's a great opportunity and that's why

1040
00:41:06,280 --> 00:41:09,240
Speaker 11: we took it for sure, coming down here and showcase

1041
00:41:09,280 --> 00:41:11,640
Speaker 11: your skills on the best with the best of the best. So,

1042
00:41:11,680 --> 00:41:13,760
Speaker 11: I mean it's definitely a great opportunity and I'm looking

1043
00:41:13,760 --> 00:41:14,239
Speaker 11: forward to it.

1044
00:41:14,360 --> 00:41:15,839
Speaker 3: You talked about the meeting room stuff that, but when

1045
00:41:15,880 --> 00:41:18,600
Speaker 3: you get on the field, anything specifically about your game

1046
00:41:18,680 --> 00:41:20,719
Speaker 3: that you want to demonstrate and show coaches that you

1047
00:41:20,760 --> 00:41:22,400
Speaker 3: have in your bag when you get out there on

1048
00:41:22,400 --> 00:41:24,200
Speaker 3: the field against the best of the best.

1049
00:41:24,400 --> 00:41:26,640
Speaker 11: Yeah, I think that's just being all around tight end,

1050
00:41:26,719 --> 00:41:29,319
Speaker 11: Being that tight end that takes pride in taking every

1051
00:41:29,360 --> 00:41:31,800
Speaker 11: single snap and being on the field for any situation,

1052
00:41:31,840 --> 00:41:35,520
Speaker 11: which is the run game, pass pro and receiving games.

1053
00:41:35,600 --> 00:41:37,879
Speaker 11: I mean, being on the field for everything and being

1054
00:41:37,880 --> 00:41:40,880
Speaker 11: able to be used as any one of those weapons

1055
00:41:41,000 --> 00:41:42,920
Speaker 11: whenever they need them. Is the guy I'm trying to

1056
00:41:43,040 --> 00:41:44,000
Speaker 11: showcase this week.

1057
00:41:44,200 --> 00:41:45,359
Speaker 2: Yeah, because you have a tight end.

1058
00:41:45,360 --> 00:41:48,319
Speaker 3: But if you line up like five different tight ends,

1059
00:41:48,360 --> 00:41:49,600
Speaker 3: you guys all gonna look really different.

1060
00:41:49,640 --> 00:41:49,759
Speaker 5: Right.

1061
00:41:49,800 --> 00:41:52,160
Speaker 3: You have the two hundred twenty pounds f move guys.

1062
00:41:52,200 --> 00:41:54,400
Speaker 3: You have the two hundred sixty five blocking guys, but

1063
00:41:54,440 --> 00:41:55,200
Speaker 3: you're kind of in the middle.

1064
00:41:55,280 --> 00:41:56,160
Speaker 2: Right you weigh in.

1065
00:41:56,440 --> 00:41:58,759
Speaker 3: You came in at two hundred and fifty pounds just

1066
00:41:58,880 --> 00:42:01,120
Speaker 3: under six or five almost thirty three inch arms. So

1067
00:42:03,000 --> 00:42:05,320
Speaker 3: how do you kind of try to play both sides

1068
00:42:05,360 --> 00:42:06,960
Speaker 3: of this where I want to show them I can

1069
00:42:06,960 --> 00:42:08,719
Speaker 3: be a receiver, but I also want to make sure

1070
00:42:08,760 --> 00:42:10,120
Speaker 3: they know that they want to put me in line

1071
00:42:10,160 --> 00:42:11,560
Speaker 3: and I need to be at the point of attack

1072
00:42:11,560 --> 00:42:12,160
Speaker 3: in the run game.

1073
00:42:12,239 --> 00:42:13,040
Speaker 2: I can do that too.

1074
00:42:13,480 --> 00:42:16,879
Speaker 11: Yeah, I think just being balanced, like you said, just

1075
00:42:17,120 --> 00:42:19,920
Speaker 11: working on it every single day, whether that's in the

1076
00:42:20,000 --> 00:42:22,520
Speaker 11: run game, pass pro or receiving and catching the ball,

1077
00:42:22,640 --> 00:42:25,000
Speaker 11: working on your routes. I'm just working on every single

1078
00:42:25,040 --> 00:42:27,399
Speaker 11: thing and having everything on my plate and just being

1079
00:42:27,440 --> 00:42:31,160
Speaker 11: able to mentally know everything from from the inline tight

1080
00:42:31,239 --> 00:42:33,560
Speaker 11: end standpoint and out why So just knowing all that

1081
00:42:33,719 --> 00:42:36,560
Speaker 11: and managing it all is my goal for sure.

1082
00:42:36,840 --> 00:42:38,239
Speaker 3: I want to talk about both parts of that. What

1083
00:42:38,239 --> 00:42:40,239
Speaker 3: do you think makes a good blocking tight end. What

1084
00:42:40,280 --> 00:42:41,719
Speaker 3: are some of the traits or things you have to

1085
00:42:41,719 --> 00:42:43,800
Speaker 3: be good at to be successful as an inline blocker.

1086
00:42:44,440 --> 00:42:45,520
Speaker 6: Oh, definitely physical.

1087
00:42:45,640 --> 00:42:47,560
Speaker 11: I mean you're going in those guys that are much

1088
00:42:47,600 --> 00:42:50,000
Speaker 11: heavier than you, much bigger than you, because you gotta

1089
00:42:50,239 --> 00:42:53,319
Speaker 11: gotta manage your way to be able to run routes

1090
00:42:53,400 --> 00:42:56,080
Speaker 11: versus guys much lighter than you. So's you're kind of

1091
00:42:56,080 --> 00:42:59,160
Speaker 11: in a pickle. But I think it's just that's how

1092
00:42:59,200 --> 00:43:02,320
Speaker 11: beautiful to tight end is the position. Just being able

1093
00:43:02,360 --> 00:43:05,160
Speaker 11: to go and dominate safeties in corners guys that are

1094
00:43:05,920 --> 00:43:08,560
Speaker 11: much more little than you, and then be able to

1095
00:43:08,920 --> 00:43:10,880
Speaker 11: hold up with these big guys and move them off.

1096
00:43:10,719 --> 00:43:11,359
Speaker 6: The ball as well.

1097
00:43:11,760 --> 00:43:13,680
Speaker 3: Yeah, I gotta imagine. Then I'm gonna ask the same

1098
00:43:13,760 --> 00:43:16,920
Speaker 3: question as receiver. Sometimes you gotta go against safeties and man,

1099
00:43:16,960 --> 00:43:18,400
Speaker 3: sometimes you're going against linebackers.

1100
00:43:18,440 --> 00:43:20,640
Speaker 2: You gotta find zone. What is some of the thing

1101
00:43:20,719 --> 00:43:22,319
Speaker 2: that you've worked on to try to make yourself a

1102
00:43:22,320 --> 00:43:23,040
Speaker 2: better receiver?

1103
00:43:23,880 --> 00:43:27,040
Speaker 11: Yeah, I mean just what everyone does getting in and

1104
00:43:27,040 --> 00:43:30,160
Speaker 11: out of breaks, and just your knowledge of the game,

1105
00:43:30,280 --> 00:43:34,000
Speaker 11: knowing where guys are, knowing what they're gonna do, and

1106
00:43:34,120 --> 00:43:36,160
Speaker 11: just being physical while you're running routes. You know you

1107
00:43:36,280 --> 00:43:40,920
Speaker 11: are a bigger guy, so don't try to play handtag

1108
00:43:40,960 --> 00:43:43,080
Speaker 11: with these with these smaller guys. So just being more

1109
00:43:43,080 --> 00:43:45,399
Speaker 11: physical in the back end and using it as your

1110
00:43:45,560 --> 00:43:48,320
Speaker 11: advantage as a tight end is most important.

1111
00:43:48,480 --> 00:43:50,359
Speaker 3: Your production had a bit of a jump this past year.

1112
00:43:50,400 --> 00:43:52,760
Speaker 3: You went over fifty catches. You finished with fifty five catches,

1113
00:43:52,800 --> 00:43:54,719
Speaker 3: five hundred and forty six hours, two touchdowns, And I

1114
00:43:54,719 --> 00:43:57,759
Speaker 3: really feel like, you know, when Garrett Nessmyer needed to

1115
00:43:57,760 --> 00:43:59,239
Speaker 3: catch on third down, he was one of the guys

1116
00:43:59,280 --> 00:44:01,879
Speaker 3: you were gonna look for in what areas you think

1117
00:44:01,920 --> 00:44:04,560
Speaker 3: you developed over the course of your career at LSU

1118
00:44:04,600 --> 00:44:07,400
Speaker 3: and developed chemistry with him where you became a reliable

1119
00:44:07,440 --> 00:44:09,480
Speaker 3: target for him on some of those crucial downs.

1120
00:44:09,920 --> 00:44:11,600
Speaker 11: Yeah, I think what was big for me was just

1121
00:44:11,600 --> 00:44:15,480
Speaker 11: showing the consistency and the practices and and throughout the

1122
00:44:15,480 --> 00:44:18,560
Speaker 11: whole process. So just being consistent as possible on those

1123
00:44:18,560 --> 00:44:21,760
Speaker 11: third downs and being the reliable target was a goal online,

1124
00:44:21,840 --> 00:44:25,040
Speaker 11: just being knowing that the quarterback knows that I'm gonna

1125
00:44:25,040 --> 00:44:27,000
Speaker 11: be there, I'm gonna be open. So that was huge

1126
00:44:27,000 --> 00:44:28,359
Speaker 11: for me and that was huge for our team.

1127
00:44:28,800 --> 00:44:31,279
Speaker 2: So we have an LSU player on our roster right now.

1128
00:44:31,320 --> 00:44:33,719
Speaker 3: The league neighbors your teammate last year, have good a

1129
00:44:33,760 --> 00:44:35,080
Speaker 3: chance to talk to them leak at all about what

1130
00:44:35,080 --> 00:44:37,200
Speaker 3: his experience has been like in the NFL and throughout

1131
00:44:37,200 --> 00:44:38,960
Speaker 3: this process and what you might be able to expect.

1132
00:44:39,360 --> 00:44:41,520
Speaker 11: No, I haven't talked to him much, but yeah, he

1133
00:44:41,840 --> 00:44:43,960
Speaker 11: was a great guy, LSU and we had we had

1134
00:44:44,000 --> 00:44:46,560
Speaker 11: a good friendship and and he's he's a great guy,

1135
00:44:46,640 --> 00:44:47,680
Speaker 11: a great athlete for sure.

1136
00:44:47,760 --> 00:44:48,960
Speaker 3: All Right, I want to talk about some of your

1137
00:44:48,960 --> 00:44:50,960
Speaker 3: teammates out of here too, And I'm just gonna bump

1138
00:44:51,000 --> 00:44:52,920
Speaker 3: all these guys together, the four big offensive linemen that

1139
00:44:52,960 --> 00:44:55,080
Speaker 3: I'm sure you had to work together blocking with over

1140
00:44:55,120 --> 00:44:55,839
Speaker 3: the course of the career.

1141
00:44:55,840 --> 00:44:57,919
Speaker 2: Could you talk a little bit about those four guys.

1142
00:44:57,960 --> 00:44:59,239
Speaker 3: You could take him one bi and whatever or doer

1143
00:44:59,280 --> 00:45:01,400
Speaker 3: you want to take him in with three guys are here,

1144
00:45:01,440 --> 00:45:02,759
Speaker 3: and then of course you know Will Campbell who's not

1145
00:45:02,800 --> 00:45:04,759
Speaker 3: here that are heading into the draft process. Tell me

1146
00:45:04,800 --> 00:45:06,880
Speaker 3: about those offensive linemen and what NFL teams might be

1147
00:45:06,880 --> 00:45:07,839
Speaker 3: getting at this inside the draft.

1148
00:45:07,880 --> 00:45:10,439
Speaker 11: One of those guys, Yeah, I mean, I mean, really

1149
00:45:10,480 --> 00:45:14,880
Speaker 11: hard working group and connected. They've been there for three years,

1150
00:45:14,920 --> 00:45:17,520
Speaker 11: all bonded and connected and they work really well together.

1151
00:45:17,719 --> 00:45:19,520
Speaker 11: So I mean it was a bussing to be working

1152
00:45:19,560 --> 00:45:21,399
Speaker 11: alongside of them. Kind of made my job a little

1153
00:45:21,400 --> 00:45:24,880
Speaker 11: bit easier. But I think they're really hard working guys,

1154
00:45:24,920 --> 00:45:27,880
Speaker 11: gritty guys, really physical, and that's just what it is.

1155
00:45:27,920 --> 00:45:30,080
Speaker 11: In sec they got to move big bodies around, So

1156
00:45:30,120 --> 00:45:32,279
Speaker 11: I mean they're big, big physical guys. If you want

1157
00:45:32,320 --> 00:45:35,680
Speaker 11: big physical own linemen that are smart and I want

1158
00:45:35,760 --> 00:45:37,719
Speaker 11: to protect your quarterback, you get them for sure.

1159
00:45:37,840 --> 00:45:38,000
Speaker 13: Yeah.

1160
00:45:38,040 --> 00:45:40,200
Speaker 2: When asked about too specifically, will Campbell won.

1161
00:45:40,840 --> 00:45:42,759
Speaker 3: When I watched him heading into this game, I just

1162
00:45:42,760 --> 00:45:45,200
Speaker 3: thought he was so consistent, right, Like that's always the same.

1163
00:45:45,280 --> 00:45:49,160
Speaker 2: He's very athletic. What is it about his consistency that?

1164
00:45:49,600 --> 00:45:51,000
Speaker 3: What is about him that allowed him to be so

1165
00:45:51,040 --> 00:45:53,520
Speaker 3: consistent gained the game and just be such a reliable blocker.

1166
00:45:54,080 --> 00:45:55,680
Speaker 6: Yeah, it's just how he works.

1167
00:45:55,719 --> 00:45:58,200
Speaker 11: It's the man who the man he is, and that's

1168
00:45:58,800 --> 00:46:01,759
Speaker 11: him coming to work every single day, being consistent in

1169
00:46:01,800 --> 00:46:04,239
Speaker 11: the weight room, no matter it's week one, week ten.

1170
00:46:04,360 --> 00:46:06,000
Speaker 11: He's giving it all his in his weight in the

1171
00:46:06,000 --> 00:46:08,560
Speaker 11: weight room, taking care of his body. Just him doing

1172
00:46:08,600 --> 00:46:11,520
Speaker 11: the little things like that is gonna advance him to

1173
00:46:11,520 --> 00:46:12,120
Speaker 11: the next level.

1174
00:46:12,120 --> 00:46:13,040
Speaker 9: And it did for sure.

1175
00:46:13,280 --> 00:46:16,239
Speaker 3: And then Emery has kind of has that overwhelming physicality

1176
00:46:16,360 --> 00:46:17,520
Speaker 3: right to him.

1177
00:46:17,680 --> 00:46:19,520
Speaker 9: Yeah, for sure, for sure.

1178
00:46:19,640 --> 00:46:20,080
Speaker 2: Absolutely.

1179
00:46:20,120 --> 00:46:22,799
Speaker 3: Finally, I want to ask you about your quarterback Gartinus Meyer.

1180
00:46:22,920 --> 00:46:24,960
Speaker 3: John's the quarterback being able to pick one this year.

1181
00:46:25,040 --> 00:46:27,480
Speaker 3: But I'm thinking ahead a little bit. What makes him

1182
00:46:27,920 --> 00:46:29,680
Speaker 3: a good quarterback and then easy to work with?

1183
00:46:30,360 --> 00:46:31,759
Speaker 6: I mean just the way he throws the ball.

1184
00:46:31,800 --> 00:46:35,360
Speaker 11: I think he's done a tremendous job this year, and

1185
00:46:35,400 --> 00:46:38,600
Speaker 11: I mean next year should be even better. From that standpoint,

1186
00:46:38,680 --> 00:46:41,520
Speaker 11: He's learning every single day, and he tastes coaching and

1187
00:46:41,560 --> 00:46:43,759
Speaker 11: all that stuff, and he's a great leader. So I mean,

1188
00:46:44,200 --> 00:46:47,400
Speaker 11: all all his traits just point to a great quarterback overall.

1189
00:46:47,440 --> 00:46:49,399
Speaker 11: So yeah, whatever he does in the future, he's gonna

1190
00:46:49,400 --> 00:46:50,359
Speaker 11: be great at it for sure.

1191
00:46:50,440 --> 00:46:51,960
Speaker 2: Mason, good stuff, man. I appreciate the time.

1192
00:46:51,960 --> 00:46:53,719
Speaker 13: Best luck this way, sir, appreciate it all.

1193
00:46:53,800 --> 00:46:53,880
Speaker 6: Right.

1194
00:46:53,920 --> 00:46:56,320
Speaker 3: Now, we're joined by Ty Robinson, defensive tackle for the

1195
00:46:56,400 --> 00:46:57,320
Speaker 3: University of Nebraska.

1196
00:46:57,360 --> 00:46:58,120
Speaker 2: Ty, how are you, man?

1197
00:46:58,239 --> 00:46:58,920
Speaker 9: I'm great this one.

1198
00:46:58,920 --> 00:47:00,920
Speaker 2: How are you? I'm doing great? So we have not

1199
00:47:00,920 --> 00:47:02,080
Speaker 2: gone on the practice field yet.

1200
00:47:02,080 --> 00:47:04,040
Speaker 3: How excited are you to kind of get in there

1201
00:47:04,040 --> 00:47:05,360
Speaker 3: and get in those one on ones against some of

1202
00:47:05,360 --> 00:47:06,280
Speaker 3: these offensive linemen.

1203
00:47:06,400 --> 00:47:09,000
Speaker 15: Today's a day, man to set the tone and then

1204
00:47:09,080 --> 00:47:10,839
Speaker 15: go out there and just you know, this is why

1205
00:47:10,840 --> 00:47:13,520
Speaker 15: we're all here, just for this first practice and then

1206
00:47:13,920 --> 00:47:15,399
Speaker 15: just to continue on throughout the week.

1207
00:47:15,600 --> 00:47:18,919
Speaker 3: Dude, I love watching your tape studying over the past

1208
00:47:18,920 --> 00:47:21,920
Speaker 3: three or four weeks. I think just your relentless effort.

1209
00:47:22,200 --> 00:47:25,600
Speaker 3: Where does that come from? Just you're wanting to just

1210
00:47:26,040 --> 00:47:27,919
Speaker 3: trying to get upfield on on every single play.

1211
00:47:28,000 --> 00:47:29,840
Speaker 9: I mean, that was just the DNA of our defense.

1212
00:47:30,280 --> 00:47:32,319
Speaker 15: You know, that was like the standard and the expectation

1213
00:47:32,480 --> 00:47:35,120
Speaker 15: of the eleven guys that were out there on the

1214
00:47:35,120 --> 00:47:37,799
Speaker 15: field on the defensive side of the ball. So, you know,

1215
00:47:38,640 --> 00:47:40,759
Speaker 15: I think just wanting to uphold that standard and make

1216
00:47:40,800 --> 00:47:43,000
Speaker 15: sure that you know I'm the one doing the standard

1217
00:47:43,080 --> 00:47:46,640
Speaker 15: and you know everyone else is right there along with me.

1218
00:47:47,000 --> 00:47:49,000
Speaker 15: I think that's why we're such a you know, dominant

1219
00:47:49,000 --> 00:47:49,960
Speaker 15: defense in the Big Ten.

1220
00:47:50,600 --> 00:47:51,239
Speaker 2: Absolutely.

1221
00:47:52,040 --> 00:47:54,840
Speaker 3: If a college, if a pro scout came up to

1222
00:47:54,880 --> 00:47:56,799
Speaker 3: you and asked you what the strength of your game is,

1223
00:47:57,320 --> 00:47:59,480
Speaker 3: what makes you tick as a defensive tackle, what would

1224
00:47:59,520 --> 00:47:59,920
Speaker 3: you tell them?

1225
00:48:00,040 --> 00:48:02,239
Speaker 15: I just think it's the like the mentality that I

1226
00:48:02,280 --> 00:48:05,879
Speaker 15: have going and when I play defensive line. Like you said,

1227
00:48:05,880 --> 00:48:08,480
Speaker 15: that relentless effort goes into the relentless violence that I

1228
00:48:08,520 --> 00:48:12,040
Speaker 15: try to pursue and have during during a game or

1229
00:48:12,120 --> 00:48:15,040
Speaker 15: during a practice. There's just some switch that just turns

1230
00:48:15,040 --> 00:48:16,440
Speaker 15: on when I step on that field.

1231
00:48:16,960 --> 00:48:18,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, and it does. I think. I think it certainly

1232
00:48:18,680 --> 00:48:19,279
Speaker 2: shows on tape.

1233
00:48:19,320 --> 00:48:20,719
Speaker 3: And I think the other thing I like watching you

1234
00:48:20,760 --> 00:48:22,759
Speaker 3: is that they move you all across the line of scrimmage. Right,

1235
00:48:22,760 --> 00:48:25,560
Speaker 3: you're after the five, even right, I think even seven.

1236
00:48:25,560 --> 00:48:27,800
Speaker 2: I think I saw one absolutely.

1237
00:48:28,239 --> 00:48:31,240
Speaker 3: So I know you're probably gonna say all these positions

1238
00:48:31,239 --> 00:48:32,960
Speaker 3: because that's you're supposed to say when when you talk

1239
00:48:33,000 --> 00:48:37,360
Speaker 3: to these scouts. But big third down game on the

1240
00:48:37,360 --> 00:48:39,520
Speaker 3: line in the fourth quarter, where do you want to

1241
00:48:39,520 --> 00:48:40,800
Speaker 3: line up to rush the passer?

1242
00:48:41,760 --> 00:48:41,920
Speaker 8: Man?

1243
00:48:41,960 --> 00:48:44,360
Speaker 15: I love that three tech just being on the inside

1244
00:48:44,440 --> 00:48:49,239
Speaker 15: that you know, I've played edge in high school and

1245
00:48:49,239 --> 00:48:51,280
Speaker 15: then I played a little bit edge the last two years.

1246
00:48:51,320 --> 00:48:54,759
Speaker 15: But having you know, main my main focus the last

1247
00:48:54,800 --> 00:48:58,399
Speaker 15: few years on being the interior guy, I just feel

1248
00:48:58,480 --> 00:49:01,239
Speaker 15: pretty comfortable. I mean, I hold some scouts yesterday I

1249
00:49:01,280 --> 00:49:03,440
Speaker 15: was just like, look, if I really want if I

1250
00:49:03,440 --> 00:49:05,359
Speaker 15: really thought I was going to rush from the edge more,

1251
00:49:05,400 --> 00:49:07,239
Speaker 15: I would I would have worked on it. And I

1252
00:49:07,239 --> 00:49:09,840
Speaker 15: think I could actually become a really good you know,

1253
00:49:10,000 --> 00:49:11,920
Speaker 15: develop a rush outside on the edge that would help

1254
00:49:12,000 --> 00:49:14,920
Speaker 15: me win even more than just you know, saying, Oh shoot,

1255
00:49:14,960 --> 00:49:16,600
Speaker 15: I'm out here on the edge and it's a pass play.

1256
00:49:16,600 --> 00:49:18,480
Speaker 15: I gotta I gotta figure something out real quick.

1257
00:49:18,560 --> 00:49:21,200
Speaker 3: So so you weigh in, I was bringing up your

1258
00:49:21,239 --> 00:49:23,560
Speaker 3: your measurement some of yesterday. You waiting around six five,

1259
00:49:23,719 --> 00:49:25,920
Speaker 3: just under six five. It's just under six five, two

1260
00:49:26,000 --> 00:49:28,279
Speaker 3: hundred ninety six pounds. Is that what you want your

1261
00:49:28,320 --> 00:49:30,160
Speaker 3: playing weight to be around two ninety six or you

1262
00:49:30,160 --> 00:49:31,200
Speaker 3: want to be heavier a lighter.

1263
00:49:31,480 --> 00:49:33,319
Speaker 15: Yeah, man, I kind of just did that just for

1264
00:49:33,400 --> 00:49:36,160
Speaker 15: you know, after season, like training kind of purposes. Just

1265
00:49:36,160 --> 00:49:39,719
Speaker 15: wanted to, you know, build up even more muscle. During

1266
00:49:39,760 --> 00:49:42,319
Speaker 15: the season. I was like I hovered around three oh eight,

1267
00:49:42,400 --> 00:49:45,720
Speaker 15: three oh five, and then you know after after the season,

1268
00:49:45,719 --> 00:49:47,479
Speaker 15: you just kind of drop a few hounds just because

1269
00:49:47,480 --> 00:49:51,239
Speaker 15: you're not shoveling food down your down your mouth from

1270
00:49:51,320 --> 00:49:54,640
Speaker 15: the training table and you know, you're not burning four

1271
00:49:54,680 --> 00:49:57,040
Speaker 15: thousand calories a day and all that type of stuff.

1272
00:49:57,120 --> 00:49:59,840
Speaker 15: So but yeah, no, I feel super comfortable. You know,

1273
00:50:00,280 --> 00:50:02,120
Speaker 15: way I played in high school, So I'm excited to

1274
00:50:02,160 --> 00:50:03,719
Speaker 15: kind of see how it feels when I'm out here

1275
00:50:03,719 --> 00:50:04,040
Speaker 15: this week.

1276
00:50:04,120 --> 00:50:05,560
Speaker 2: You played two ninety six in high.

1277
00:50:05,440 --> 00:50:06,600
Speaker 8: School my senior year.

1278
00:50:07,400 --> 00:50:12,479
Speaker 2: Wow, you're a big kid. Yeah, that's impressive. What's your if?

1279
00:50:12,560 --> 00:50:13,719
Speaker 2: What's your go to rush move?

1280
00:50:14,840 --> 00:50:15,000
Speaker 8: Man?

1281
00:50:15,040 --> 00:50:17,000
Speaker 15: I love that power just to pack because you can

1282
00:50:17,040 --> 00:50:19,240
Speaker 15: set up any other counter move off based off power.

1283
00:50:19,600 --> 00:50:22,480
Speaker 15: That's something I've been really working on during my training

1284
00:50:22,560 --> 00:50:26,359
Speaker 15: the last few weeks down in Arizona, just how much

1285
00:50:26,440 --> 00:50:28,960
Speaker 15: versatility that you can have, especially when you set up

1286
00:50:28,960 --> 00:50:31,719
Speaker 15: with a bull rush or a power rush, to then

1287
00:50:31,800 --> 00:50:33,520
Speaker 15: do a club rip or to then do a double

1288
00:50:33,600 --> 00:50:36,799
Speaker 15: swiper an inside move. It really does help, you know,

1289
00:50:37,040 --> 00:50:41,120
Speaker 15: open up those kind of different lanes to rush.

1290
00:50:41,200 --> 00:50:44,120
Speaker 3: And it's funny and I think when fans here bull rush,

1291
00:50:44,160 --> 00:50:45,640
Speaker 3: so like all right, well, you know you're charge and

1292
00:50:45,680 --> 00:50:46,520
Speaker 3: you use your strength of.

1293
00:50:46,520 --> 00:50:49,200
Speaker 2: Moving, but there's a lot of technique to a proper

1294
00:50:49,200 --> 00:50:50,920
Speaker 2: bull rush. You don't just talk about it.

1295
00:50:50,960 --> 00:50:53,120
Speaker 15: Yeah, you just don't put your head down. You gotta

1296
00:50:53,200 --> 00:50:55,120
Speaker 15: you gotta be lower than the man. Your hand's got

1297
00:50:55,120 --> 00:50:57,080
Speaker 15: to be above your eyes. So you get to find

1298
00:50:57,080 --> 00:50:59,560
Speaker 15: the sweet spot, especially if you're a tall guy like me,

1299
00:50:59,719 --> 00:51:03,080
Speaker 15: Like with enough bend but not too much bend that

1300
00:51:03,120 --> 00:51:06,200
Speaker 15: you have no power, but enough leverage with your hands

1301
00:51:06,320 --> 00:51:08,319
Speaker 15: but not too much leverage that you fall over like

1302
00:51:09,000 --> 00:51:11,000
Speaker 15: and then the length like you said, like, if you're

1303
00:51:11,040 --> 00:51:14,440
Speaker 15: able to extend and lift that offensive lineman up in

1304
00:51:14,520 --> 00:51:15,919
Speaker 15: his paddle level up, then there's nout.

1305
00:51:16,040 --> 00:51:19,120
Speaker 6: There's no way he can reset or regroup to win

1306
00:51:19,200 --> 00:51:19,560
Speaker 6: the rep.

1307
00:51:19,680 --> 00:51:22,239
Speaker 3: Like you just you own him by that point and

1308
00:51:22,280 --> 00:51:25,360
Speaker 3: then it's inside hands win, right. I mean, how important

1309
00:51:25,400 --> 00:51:27,600
Speaker 3: is it when you're doing that hand battle with the

1310
00:51:27,600 --> 00:51:30,120
Speaker 3: offensive lineman to be the guy that gets his hands

1311
00:51:30,120 --> 00:51:31,359
Speaker 3: inside on those shoulder pads.

1312
00:51:31,440 --> 00:51:33,600
Speaker 15: Yeah, your goal is for the offensive lineman's hands not

1313
00:51:33,640 --> 00:51:36,160
Speaker 15: to touch you. So that's that's the expectation for that

1314
00:51:36,239 --> 00:51:39,800
Speaker 15: reaction time, whether you know you're clubbing and he shoots

1315
00:51:39,840 --> 00:51:42,520
Speaker 15: his hands or you want your hands on him first

1316
00:51:42,520 --> 00:51:44,279
Speaker 15: if you're going to do that power move, because as

1317
00:51:44,320 --> 00:51:45,919
Speaker 15: soon as he puts his hands on you, you lose

1318
00:51:45,920 --> 00:51:47,600
Speaker 15: all that power because it's kind of like you're getting

1319
00:51:47,640 --> 00:51:48,440
Speaker 15: stopped a little bit.

1320
00:51:48,520 --> 00:51:49,120
Speaker 5: That makes sense.

1321
00:51:49,160 --> 00:51:51,120
Speaker 3: So you talked about what your bread and butter is,

1322
00:51:51,160 --> 00:51:52,680
Speaker 3: What are some of the things that you're still really

1323
00:51:52,719 --> 00:51:55,120
Speaker 3: trying to refine in the lab and get better to

1324
00:51:55,160 --> 00:51:56,960
Speaker 3: become a more complete player when you get.

1325
00:51:56,800 --> 00:51:57,480
Speaker 2: Into the national lam.

1326
00:51:57,560 --> 00:52:01,120
Speaker 15: Yeah, I think that to go along with that relentless

1327
00:52:01,160 --> 00:52:03,560
Speaker 15: motors to find that counter move to help me even

1328
00:52:03,760 --> 00:52:07,800
Speaker 15: escape when my first move doesn't work, and then I

1329
00:52:07,840 --> 00:52:11,279
Speaker 15: would just say, uh, you know, winning cleaner, uh, trying

1330
00:52:11,320 --> 00:52:12,920
Speaker 15: to be able to you know, be faster.

1331
00:52:13,160 --> 00:52:15,520
Speaker 9: You know, I'd love to win every rep, right.

1332
00:52:15,400 --> 00:52:16,800
Speaker 6: But that's not the reality of life.

1333
00:52:16,840 --> 00:52:19,359
Speaker 15: So you know, I love to I mean, I'm still

1334
00:52:19,400 --> 00:52:22,200
Speaker 15: learning stuff now, so I'm excited to go out there

1335
00:52:22,239 --> 00:52:23,600
Speaker 15: and try it out today.

1336
00:52:23,920 --> 00:52:26,840
Speaker 3: Any offensive lineman, you're particularly excited to get someone on

1337
00:52:26,840 --> 00:52:27,879
Speaker 3: once again from this group.

1338
00:52:27,920 --> 00:52:29,040
Speaker 2: It's a nice group of players.

1339
00:52:29,040 --> 00:52:29,160
Speaker 14: Man.

1340
00:52:29,200 --> 00:52:31,399
Speaker 15: Yeah, no, I'm I'm gonna be everywhere on that line,

1341
00:52:31,400 --> 00:52:33,520
Speaker 15: so I'm not gonna get a taste of everything today.

1342
00:52:33,560 --> 00:52:35,160
Speaker 3: Yeah, I was gonna a say, so, are they gonna

1343
00:52:35,160 --> 00:52:37,040
Speaker 3: focus you on one or two spots here or are

1344
00:52:37,080 --> 00:52:38,120
Speaker 3: they gonna move you all over place?

1345
00:52:38,320 --> 00:52:40,560
Speaker 9: I know I have no idea, but we're gonna figure
