1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:03,160
Speaker 1: Hey, Evans, I know you're turning towards Chicago. I'm sure,

2
00:00:03,320 --> 00:00:08,319
Speaker 1: but how did you evaluate your Week one performance? Uh?

3
00:00:08,440 --> 00:00:14,360
Speaker 1: Definitely myself the expectations that you know I have for myself.

4
00:00:14,920 --> 00:00:17,800
Speaker 1: I definitely want to and need to be better on

5
00:00:18,160 --> 00:00:21,040
Speaker 1: off phase. So, um, you have to help myself accountable

6
00:00:21,239 --> 00:00:23,400
Speaker 1: um to improve in this week UM, and and to

7
00:00:23,520 --> 00:00:26,640
Speaker 1: come out um more better details and things like that

8
00:00:26,640 --> 00:00:30,200
Speaker 1: against Chicago. Evan. I know baseball players sometimes talk about

9
00:00:30,240 --> 00:00:31,920
Speaker 1: like if they strike it out, then they take that

10
00:00:32,040 --> 00:00:34,720
Speaker 1: in the field and make an error. I'm wondering if

11
00:00:34,800 --> 00:00:37,680
Speaker 1: you you had that drop on the first place, A

12
00:00:37,720 --> 00:00:39,960
Speaker 1: little surprising, and wondering if you feel like that may

13
00:00:40,000 --> 00:00:42,920
Speaker 1: be compounded and affected your blocking later in the game.

14
00:00:42,960 --> 00:00:46,280
Speaker 1: Are we able to shake one off? No, it's you know,

15
00:00:46,280 --> 00:00:49,520
Speaker 1: it's always the next play mentality for me, You never

16
00:00:50,200 --> 00:00:52,840
Speaker 1: bad players a gonna happen. Things are gonna happen, um,

17
00:00:52,920 --> 00:00:55,360
Speaker 1: and that that's kind of part of being a football player.

18
00:00:55,600 --> 00:00:57,920
Speaker 1: You gotta played next place. So um, that's kind of

19
00:00:57,920 --> 00:01:02,880
Speaker 1: my mentality. Um. Going forward, what happened on that when

20
00:01:02,880 --> 00:01:04,720
Speaker 1: you guys had the ball up the three yard line

21
00:01:04,800 --> 00:01:06,800
Speaker 1: early in the game after the fun book punt it

22
00:01:06,880 --> 00:01:10,120
Speaker 1: looked like you got open and with Daniel early on

23
00:01:10,160 --> 00:01:12,399
Speaker 1: the throw where you held up from your break. You

24
00:01:12,400 --> 00:01:18,120
Speaker 1: know what we're talking about, that players near the goal. Um, yeah,

25
00:01:18,160 --> 00:01:21,800
Speaker 1: that's a play that's designed, um and just gotta just

26
00:01:21,840 --> 00:01:25,920
Speaker 1: gotta completed. My uneducated eye, it looked like your technique

27
00:01:25,959 --> 00:01:28,760
Speaker 1: was a little inconsistent in the blocking area When you

28
00:01:28,800 --> 00:01:30,559
Speaker 1: went back and looked at the film, did you find

29
00:01:30,560 --> 00:01:32,200
Speaker 1: that to be the case. Was it a matter of

30
00:01:32,319 --> 00:01:35,800
Speaker 1: technique and just getting the same type of leverage every

31
00:01:35,800 --> 00:01:37,800
Speaker 1: time or was there something else kind of going on

32
00:01:37,880 --> 00:01:41,959
Speaker 1: with your game? Um? No, that's that's really all blocking is, um,

33
00:01:42,000 --> 00:01:44,560
Speaker 1: just using the right technique and um, there were just

34
00:01:44,800 --> 00:01:47,160
Speaker 1: details that you know, I had to clean up footwork,

35
00:01:47,200 --> 00:01:51,440
Speaker 1: hand placement, head up, eyes up on leverage, like you said, Um,

36
00:01:51,560 --> 00:01:53,920
Speaker 1: things that I have to improve on. So um, this

37
00:01:54,280 --> 00:01:57,280
Speaker 1: you blocking is a lot of small things, um that

38
00:01:57,520 --> 00:02:01,560
Speaker 1: I definitely had to clean up. Do you ever look

39
00:02:01,640 --> 00:02:04,080
Speaker 1: back at some of the old tight ends, you know,

40
00:02:04,320 --> 00:02:06,640
Speaker 1: the the blockers in the in the past. I mean,

41
00:02:06,680 --> 00:02:09,239
Speaker 1: I know the game has changed and roles have changed

42
00:02:09,240 --> 00:02:10,760
Speaker 1: the one up, but do you ever like look back

43
00:02:10,760 --> 00:02:13,720
Speaker 1: at some of the older tight ends and pick up elements?

44
00:02:13,720 --> 00:02:16,680
Speaker 1: From their game from when they were blockers. UM. Now,

45
00:02:17,000 --> 00:02:19,320
Speaker 1: I mean I haven't looked at a lot of old film,

46
00:02:19,400 --> 00:02:21,440
Speaker 1: but um, there's a lot of good film that we watched,

47
00:02:21,560 --> 00:02:24,720
Speaker 1: UM when we're game plan and breakdown film of guy's

48
00:02:24,760 --> 00:02:27,200
Speaker 1: being successful in the ringing games. So, UM, that's partly

49
00:02:27,200 --> 00:02:30,040
Speaker 1: the best outlet that used to for my technique and

50
00:02:30,120 --> 00:02:31,959
Speaker 1: to take to the field. Evan coach too much a

51
00:02:31,960 --> 00:02:33,920
Speaker 1: lot about making a big jump from week one to

52
00:02:33,960 --> 00:02:36,959
Speaker 1: week two. What if you've seen from the team that

53
00:02:37,560 --> 00:02:41,480
Speaker 1: makes you believe that that's that's about to happen here? Um, definitely,

54
00:02:41,600 --> 00:02:43,680
Speaker 1: we had a lot of urgency this week being a

55
00:02:43,720 --> 00:02:47,840
Speaker 1: short week. Um, the schedule is adjusted and we've been

56
00:02:47,880 --> 00:02:49,560
Speaker 1: I think we did a really good job of this

57
00:02:49,560 --> 00:02:52,840
Speaker 1: week and flying around with urgency and attention to detail,

58
00:02:53,360 --> 00:02:55,280
Speaker 1: UM and getting all our represent and our work in

59
00:02:55,680 --> 00:02:58,160
Speaker 1: when you, uh, you obviously said you need to do

60
00:02:58,280 --> 00:03:01,400
Speaker 1: some things better when you have a game that didn't

61
00:03:01,400 --> 00:03:03,400
Speaker 1: live up to your standards. I'm curious how this coaching

62
00:03:03,440 --> 00:03:06,320
Speaker 1: staff kind of approached it like that did they ride you?

63
00:03:06,400 --> 00:03:08,800
Speaker 1: Did they get on you? Were that? Was it a patient? Like?

64
00:03:08,840 --> 00:03:12,480
Speaker 1: What was the approach this past week? UM? Just fixing UM?

65
00:03:12,560 --> 00:03:16,080
Speaker 1: Some details that I needed to get fixed. UM, just

66
00:03:16,120 --> 00:03:18,760
Speaker 1: some small things in the game that uh that I

67
00:03:18,800 --> 00:03:20,600
Speaker 1: could have been better at. UM. And when we broke

68
00:03:20,639 --> 00:03:23,880
Speaker 1: down the film, we highlighted those and I added that

69
00:03:23,919 --> 00:03:26,840
Speaker 1: to some of the emphasis of my press throughout the week. UM.

70
00:03:26,960 --> 00:03:31,440
Speaker 1: And then we moved on. And also, Uh, you're going

71
00:03:31,480 --> 00:03:33,799
Speaker 1: on the road. This is a completely new environment with

72
00:03:33,919 --> 00:03:38,760
Speaker 1: the COVID right and travel restrictions. You do anything, you

73
00:03:38,800 --> 00:03:41,480
Speaker 1: plan to do anything differently, make changes? I mean, what

74
00:03:41,480 --> 00:03:43,520
Speaker 1: what does this due to your routine that you you've

75
00:03:43,600 --> 00:03:46,800
Speaker 1: kind of developed over the past few years. Uh, No,

76
00:03:46,920 --> 00:03:49,920
Speaker 1: it really doesn't change change anything. UM. You know, definitely

77
00:03:50,160 --> 00:03:53,160
Speaker 1: just following the guidelines and and and being smart um

78
00:03:53,200 --> 00:03:56,040
Speaker 1: and UM and and kind of being uh following the

79
00:03:56,120 --> 00:03:58,080
Speaker 1: rules that we have being on the road, UM, and

80
00:03:58,120 --> 00:04:00,920
Speaker 1: being really cautious and trying to tech myself and my

81
00:04:00,920 --> 00:04:03,200
Speaker 1: teammates y eve. And how big will it be to

82
00:04:03,320 --> 00:04:05,760
Speaker 1: get golden tape back and to have all of your

83
00:04:05,800 --> 00:04:10,960
Speaker 1: guys weapons at Daniel's disposal on offense. UM, it's definitely

84
00:04:11,480 --> 00:04:14,160
Speaker 1: really good to get going back in there. Um. You're

85
00:04:14,200 --> 00:04:17,280
Speaker 1: a great player. I'm a good veteran player. Uh, makes

86
00:04:17,320 --> 00:04:19,840
Speaker 1: big plays. UM. Weekend a week out and it's been

87
00:04:19,839 --> 00:04:21,360
Speaker 1: made a lot of big plays for US last year,

88
00:04:21,400 --> 00:04:23,080
Speaker 1: so it'll be good to get him back out there

89
00:04:23,120 --> 00:04:25,640
Speaker 1: with US and UM have a full force offense to

90
00:04:25,720 --> 00:04:32,680
Speaker 1: go compete
