1
00:00:00,240 --> 00:00:03,800
Speaker 1: What what's been the biggest adjustment for yourself far. You

2
00:00:03,840 --> 00:00:05,840
Speaker 1: know it's it's early, you didn't even put on pad yet.

3
00:00:05,880 --> 00:00:10,000
Speaker 1: But what's it been liking. What's the biggest difference, what's

4
00:00:10,039 --> 00:00:13,160
Speaker 1: been good? You know, just adjusting to the playbook. You know, Um,

5
00:00:13,640 --> 00:00:16,360
Speaker 1: it's peed to the game, of course, But like I said,

6
00:00:16,360 --> 00:00:19,440
Speaker 1: it's only day for um, every day I feel myself

7
00:00:19,480 --> 00:00:22,439
Speaker 1: getting better and better. So I'm just excited. I'm just

8
00:00:22,480 --> 00:00:24,720
Speaker 1: excited for them next day. How much are you excited

9
00:00:24,800 --> 00:00:27,840
Speaker 1: for Monday to where it's actually training camp starting for

10
00:00:27,960 --> 00:00:29,360
Speaker 1: you guys, so you get to put on pads and

11
00:00:29,440 --> 00:00:32,159
Speaker 1: actually you know, do more in the run game, do

12
00:00:32,240 --> 00:00:34,839
Speaker 1: more and aggressive pass sets and stuff like that. I'm

13
00:00:34,880 --> 00:00:38,120
Speaker 1: extremely excited, you know, actually, you know, get the chance

14
00:00:38,159 --> 00:00:40,159
Speaker 1: to you know, get better because when you don't have

15
00:00:40,200 --> 00:00:42,120
Speaker 1: pads on, you know, you get better from a you know,

16
00:00:42,159 --> 00:00:43,920
Speaker 1: a sense and pass protection and stuff like that. But

17
00:00:43,960 --> 00:00:46,240
Speaker 1: it's not the same. You know, we really can't fit

18
00:00:46,280 --> 00:00:48,640
Speaker 1: our combo blocks or you know, really lean on guys

19
00:00:48,640 --> 00:00:51,199
Speaker 1: in the run game, you know. So I'm definitely excited

20
00:00:51,200 --> 00:00:55,960
Speaker 1: for the for that standpoint them for sure. Anything about

21
00:00:55,960 --> 00:00:59,360
Speaker 1: this first training camp surprise you and you know, any anything.

22
00:00:59,600 --> 00:01:02,680
Speaker 1: You know, it just feels different to you. Um, not

23
00:01:02,720 --> 00:01:05,400
Speaker 1: the same thing, surprising me, um, because like I said,

24
00:01:05,600 --> 00:01:08,480
Speaker 1: the fall camp with Alabama is pretty much around like

25
00:01:08,520 --> 00:01:11,520
Speaker 1: a like a professional train to camp. But uh, like

26
00:01:11,600 --> 00:01:14,200
Speaker 1: I said, um, the coaches are running it, you know, fantastic.

27
00:01:14,319 --> 00:01:16,880
Speaker 1: I feel everybody out there getting better, and uh, I'm

28
00:01:16,920 --> 00:01:18,959
Speaker 1: just excited. It's just excited to see how far we go.

29
00:01:19,240 --> 00:01:21,680
Speaker 1: How hardly do you evaluate yourself like when you watch

30
00:01:21,720 --> 00:01:25,000
Speaker 1: feeling yourself after your camp practice even its you know,

31
00:01:25,080 --> 00:01:26,760
Speaker 1: I like to say, I'm my biggest critic. You know,

32
00:01:26,800 --> 00:01:30,240
Speaker 1: nobody can criticize me harder than myself for sure. So Um,

33
00:01:31,000 --> 00:01:32,880
Speaker 1: like I said, I focused on the bathtup, but I

34
00:01:32,880 --> 00:01:35,160
Speaker 1: also got to acknowledge the good as well, because that's

35
00:01:35,200 --> 00:01:37,920
Speaker 1: good that I do. Um, I just watched the film,

36
00:01:37,959 --> 00:01:40,360
Speaker 1: and uh I take away from it what I can

37
00:01:40,440 --> 00:01:42,319
Speaker 1: and just you know, focus on getting better, you know,

38
00:01:42,400 --> 00:01:44,880
Speaker 1: not making the same mistakes and just building off the

39
00:01:44,920 --> 00:01:48,360
Speaker 1: positive things. Whatever You've been able to take away from

40
00:01:48,480 --> 00:01:53,120
Speaker 1: Andrews uh path as a first round draft pick over

41
00:01:53,160 --> 00:01:55,360
Speaker 1: the first couple of years. Yeah, Drews a man. He's

42
00:01:55,560 --> 00:01:58,320
Speaker 1: a great guy. Definitely a great resource to um new

43
00:01:58,400 --> 00:02:00,800
Speaker 1: Lean on because he's been through it. You know, he's

44
00:02:00,840 --> 00:02:04,400
Speaker 1: been a top ten pick um, a lot of expectations,

45
00:02:04,480 --> 00:02:07,000
Speaker 1: you know, coming in, and I feel like he's handled

46
00:02:07,040 --> 00:02:10,320
Speaker 1: itself very well, you know. So I'm extremely you know,

47
00:02:11,000 --> 00:02:13,560
Speaker 1: grateful to to have an asset and the resource like

48
00:02:13,639 --> 00:02:16,720
Speaker 1: that for sure. So, um, as our relationship continues, you

49
00:02:16,800 --> 00:02:18,960
Speaker 1: to grow when evolved, I'm sure that I'll learn even

50
00:02:19,000 --> 00:02:22,000
Speaker 1: more from you know, on different sides of the ball.

51
00:02:22,080 --> 00:02:23,839
Speaker 1: Do you feel for something the way you guys will

52
00:02:23,880 --> 00:02:26,239
Speaker 1: pick till in the first round you would cave on

53
00:02:26,240 --> 00:02:30,160
Speaker 1: a linked in somewhere another, Um, I'm not sure it's

54
00:02:30,200 --> 00:02:32,720
Speaker 1: crazy that um, you know, through high school and through recruitment,

55
00:02:32,760 --> 00:02:35,240
Speaker 1: like every major camp, like that was the matchup that

56
00:02:35,280 --> 00:02:37,680
Speaker 1: everybody wanted to see me versus Cavan, And it's just

57
00:02:37,720 --> 00:02:39,360
Speaker 1: so ironic that, you know, we end up on the

58
00:02:39,400 --> 00:02:42,320
Speaker 1: same NFL team. So I'm just excited to go against

59
00:02:42,360 --> 00:02:44,600
Speaker 1: him every day. You know, get each other better, you know,

60
00:02:44,639 --> 00:02:47,359
Speaker 1: I believe that iron sharpers aren't What do you think

61
00:02:47,400 --> 00:02:51,240
Speaker 1: of those matchups so far? You know, without paid certainly, Yeah,

62
00:02:51,720 --> 00:02:53,880
Speaker 1: we're getting each other better. You know, he beats me

63
00:02:53,919 --> 00:02:56,400
Speaker 1: some reps, I get him something, I get him some reps.

64
00:02:56,680 --> 00:02:58,320
Speaker 1: But that's what it's all about, and that's the name

Speaker 1: guys spoke about it? You know? I mean, first of all,

68
00:03:04,760 --> 00:03:07,000
Speaker 1: on the field, I'm sure he's made more atarger than

69
00:03:07,040 --> 00:03:10,120
Speaker 1: you are. I would guess, uh quite honestly, he really

70
00:03:10,160 --> 00:03:12,200
Speaker 1: has to been chirping like that. Honestly, man, we've just

71
00:03:12,240 --> 00:03:14,359
Speaker 1: been putting our head down and we've been working, you know,

72
00:03:14,520 --> 00:03:18,240

Speaker 1: talk about the reps ort, you know, to try to

74
00:03:20,160 --> 00:03:21,560
Speaker 1: get each other better? Maybe you know, what do you

75
00:03:21,600 --> 00:03:23,040
Speaker 1: do here? What you do here? I know he doesn't

76
00:03:23,040 --> 00:03:24,720
Speaker 1: want to give me in his secrets, you know, so

77
00:03:25,760 --> 00:03:27,440
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna give him any of mine either, But

78
00:03:27,680 --> 00:03:29,639
Speaker 1: I'm sure he watches me, just like I'll watch him

79
00:03:29,680 --> 00:03:32,760
Speaker 1: on FUM and uh, like I say, I'm just excited

80
00:03:32,800 --> 00:03:34,680
Speaker 1: to continue to go against him and get better. So

81
00:03:34,920 --> 00:03:36,840

Speaker 1: to see what that's like. And uh, I'm ready to

86
00:03:47,840 --> 00:03:50,440

00:04:11,240 --> 00:04:13,200
Speaker 1: is expecting of you in the sense that you and

95
00:04:13,280 --> 00:04:17,080
Speaker 1: Cavon are like five and seven overall. You go out

96
00:04:17,080 --> 00:04:19,880
Speaker 1: to practice, you're both running with the ones. I mean,

97
00:04:20,360 --> 00:04:22,800
Speaker 1: is there a sense of what's expected on? What do

98
00:04:22,839 --> 00:04:26,039
Speaker 1: you expect from yourself? Um? But the team expect me

103
00:04:36,160 --> 00:04:39,200
Speaker 1: a lot out of myself, you know, more than anybody

104
00:04:39,200 --> 00:04:41,719
Speaker 1: else would expect out of me, that's for sure. But

105
00:04:42,400 --> 00:04:45,040
Speaker 1: that's the reason why they drafted us. And uh, yeah,

106
