1
00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:03,600
Speaker 1: So after last week's that will performance another good dame

2
00:00:03,680 --> 00:00:05,680
Speaker 1: where you had a bunch of touches, made a lot

3
00:00:05,680 --> 00:00:08,200
Speaker 1: of plays. You gotta feel pretty good about what you've done. Yeah. Yeah,

4
00:00:08,200 --> 00:00:10,080
Speaker 1: anytime you get to go out and play football for

5
00:00:10,280 --> 00:00:12,559
Speaker 1: you know where New York Giants crossed your chest is

6
00:00:12,600 --> 00:00:14,720
Speaker 1: a fantastic opportunity. I just try and take full advantage.

7
00:00:14,880 --> 00:00:17,760
Speaker 1: We also notice again continue to play on specials. In fact,

8
00:00:17,800 --> 00:00:19,400
Speaker 1: you were to full back on the punt teen hit.

9
00:00:19,920 --> 00:00:22,439
Speaker 1: How much do you think that means? Since these coaches

10
00:00:22,440 --> 00:00:25,560
Speaker 1: are trying to evaluate these final decisions, I just probably

11
00:00:25,560 --> 00:00:27,600
Speaker 1: myself be universal player. You know I can you can

12
00:00:27,600 --> 00:00:29,880
Speaker 1: plug and play me anywhere. Um, I'm more than just

13
00:00:29,920 --> 00:00:33,559
Speaker 1: a wide receiver. UM, try and add value in the

14
00:00:33,600 --> 00:00:37,120
Speaker 1: return game and then also covering kicks or covering punts. Um,

15
00:00:37,159 --> 00:00:39,199
Speaker 1: if you want to stick me at PP, I play

16
00:00:39,240 --> 00:00:43,000
Speaker 1: gun gunning before. So just being versatile, I think you know,

17
00:00:43,200 --> 00:00:45,680
Speaker 1: with a roster where there's limited spots, if I think

18
00:00:45,760 --> 00:00:48,040
Speaker 1: I add value, and the fact that you know you'd

19
00:00:48,280 --> 00:00:51,400
Speaker 1: rather having two different guys pay in two different positions, UM,

20
00:00:51,440 --> 00:00:54,120
Speaker 1: you can just plug me in either one, and UM

21
00:00:54,520 --> 00:00:56,320
Speaker 1: I know what to do. I mean I've been in

22
00:00:56,360 --> 00:00:58,600
Speaker 1: team existem for three years now. I've learned a lot

23
00:00:58,880 --> 00:01:02,080
Speaker 1: from guys like you know my Thomas and um, you

24
00:01:02,120 --> 00:01:04,360
Speaker 1: know Cody Cornerli great specih teams players that come through

25
00:01:04,400 --> 00:01:07,440
Speaker 1: here and UM. Just trying to pick up you know,

26
00:01:07,440 --> 00:01:10,600
Speaker 1: knowledge bit by bid and and add value to myself.

27
00:01:10,880 --> 00:01:12,959
Speaker 1: Um for this team. Where do you think you they

28
00:01:12,959 --> 00:01:16,840
Speaker 1: added the most value this preseason to elevate your status

29
00:01:16,840 --> 00:01:19,600
Speaker 1: in terms of where the coaches will finally value in true,

30
00:01:19,800 --> 00:01:22,480
Speaker 1: I don't think there's there's one specific spot. Um. Like

31
00:01:22,520 --> 00:01:24,800
Speaker 1: I said, at whatever position you put me in, I

32
00:01:24,880 --> 00:01:25,880
Speaker 1: just try and go out there and do to the

33
00:01:25,920 --> 00:01:29,479
Speaker 1: best my ability. I'm gonna give you my best effort um.

34
00:01:29,520 --> 00:01:32,520
Speaker 1: And I guess I've said earlier like control of the

35
00:01:32,560 --> 00:01:35,280
Speaker 1: controls I can show add to control my effort um.

36
00:01:35,319 --> 00:01:37,560
Speaker 1: I don't control where they put me or how much

37
00:01:37,560 --> 00:01:39,680
Speaker 1: opportunity they give me. But when the opportunity comes, are

38
00:01:39,680 --> 00:01:41,680
Speaker 1: gonna be ready for it. Yeah, the coaches, not the

39
00:01:41,720 --> 00:01:44,080
Speaker 1: coaches with the quarterbacks. What we seem to find you open.

40
00:01:44,160 --> 00:01:48,240
Speaker 1: You find a way somehow sneakily to get open, and

41
00:01:48,240 --> 00:01:50,080
Speaker 1: and they see you and they connect with you. There's

42
00:01:50,080 --> 00:01:52,800
Speaker 1: a cabbage street with these quarterbacks that not every receiver

43
00:01:52,920 --> 00:01:55,520
Speaker 1: can have. Why. Um, I mean, I've been to sleep

44
00:01:55,600 --> 00:01:58,440
Speaker 1: for four years and so I've I've watched other guys

45
00:01:58,440 --> 00:02:03,560
Speaker 1: have picked people's brains constantly. UM slots like a Mendola coldbasy.

46
00:02:03,560 --> 00:02:05,440
Speaker 1: They'll live in Austin texts with me. I always try

47
00:02:05,440 --> 00:02:07,760
Speaker 1: and pick their brain. And uh, you know that slot

48
00:02:08,000 --> 00:02:10,359
Speaker 1: positions a little bit different than playing outside where it's

49
00:02:10,360 --> 00:02:12,520
Speaker 1: just always, you know, one on one. There's a lot

50
00:02:12,560 --> 00:02:16,359
Speaker 1: more craftiness to being a slot um selling one thing

51
00:02:16,400 --> 00:02:19,320
Speaker 1: and doing another. UM. And so I just you know,

52
00:02:19,760 --> 00:02:21,920
Speaker 1: I communicate with the quarterbacks constantly, try and be on

53
00:02:21,919 --> 00:02:23,920
Speaker 1: the same page of them so they know, uh, and

54
00:02:23,919 --> 00:02:25,799
Speaker 1: crunch time they can look my way and that I'll

55
00:02:25,800 --> 00:02:28,560
Speaker 1: be available no more games and this is it for

56
00:02:28,600 --> 00:02:31,799
Speaker 1: the preseason, but decisions have to be made Tuesday. How

57
00:02:31,800 --> 00:02:34,320
Speaker 1: difficult is it You've been through this before. For the

58
00:02:34,360 --> 00:02:36,480
Speaker 1: next several hours as you chew on this and what

59
00:02:36,560 --> 00:02:41,239
Speaker 1: you've done, Yeah, it's always it's always difficult. Um, I

60
00:02:41,280 --> 00:02:43,000
Speaker 1: will say, I think it's got easier as I've grown

61
00:02:43,000 --> 00:02:45,600
Speaker 1: and matured and understood the fact that I put my

62
00:02:45,639 --> 00:02:48,240
Speaker 1: best foot forward and I'm never gonna be emotionally attached

63
00:02:48,240 --> 00:02:50,440
Speaker 1: to an outcome that's out of my control, you know,

64
00:02:50,560 --> 00:02:53,560
Speaker 1: like I said earlier, control my effort, attitude and coming

65
00:02:53,600 --> 00:02:56,080
Speaker 1: into work every day and um, trying to do the

66
00:02:56,080 --> 00:02:58,359
Speaker 1: best of my ability. And I feel like I've done

67
00:02:58,400 --> 00:03:00,440
Speaker 1: that and that's all I can control, So I never

68
00:03:00,480 --> 00:03:03,800
Speaker 1: worry about anything that's outside of that. And uh, you know,

69
00:03:03,840 --> 00:03:05,600
Speaker 1: I was on the couch last year, So the fact

70
00:03:05,639 --> 00:03:07,160
Speaker 1: that I'm still playing well, I'm just graateful for that.

71
00:03:11,120 --> 00:03:11,160
Speaker 1: H
