1
00:00:00,200 --> 00:00:02,960
Speaker 1: Travis, if you could just describe when Press says that

2
00:00:03,040 --> 00:00:06,159
Speaker 1: the run game was taken down to the Studs this offseason,

3
00:00:06,440 --> 00:00:10,440
Speaker 1: what does that mean the Studs and rebuilt.

4
00:00:11,800 --> 00:00:15,560
Speaker 2: I feel like just this's kind of a whole revamp,

5
00:00:15,640 --> 00:00:17,720
Speaker 2: just the way that they kind of been installing, just

6
00:00:17,720 --> 00:00:19,680
Speaker 2: the way he's kind of emphasizing more of the run

7
00:00:19,720 --> 00:00:23,800
Speaker 2: game and just making it our identity, just really just

8
00:00:23,920 --> 00:00:25,560
Speaker 2: putting a lot of more focus on coming off the

9
00:00:25,560 --> 00:00:30,160
Speaker 2: ball and just being disciplined and being a physical football team.

10
00:00:30,600 --> 00:00:33,560
Speaker 3: You obviously ninety overall in that and just what was

11
00:00:33,600 --> 00:00:35,479
Speaker 3: it feeling like when you saw that, and just how

12
00:00:35,479 --> 00:00:36,280
Speaker 3: are you feeling?

13
00:00:36,680 --> 00:00:38,120
Speaker 2: And now I feel great, man, because I remember my

14
00:00:38,159 --> 00:00:40,920
Speaker 2: first time when I first got here, I was a

15
00:00:40,960 --> 00:00:43,680
Speaker 2: seventy eight, and then I was kind of anxious to

16
00:00:43,720 --> 00:00:46,319
Speaker 2: get that up and then I got injured. So next

17
00:00:46,360 --> 00:00:47,720
Speaker 2: year I was a seventy eight again. So it's a

18
00:00:47,720 --> 00:00:49,760
Speaker 2: long way from that seventy eight, and I just have

19
00:00:49,880 --> 00:00:51,560
Speaker 2: that nine as of starting point. Is a great feeling

20
00:00:51,800 --> 00:00:53,840
Speaker 2: as a competitor as a running back, and just just

21
00:00:53,840 --> 00:00:56,040
Speaker 2: one continue to get better, continue to do what I

22
00:00:56,040 --> 00:00:58,320
Speaker 2: can do, be the best player for myself, for the team,

23
00:00:58,360 --> 00:01:00,240
Speaker 2: and it's going to work out well for him.

24
00:01:00,400 --> 00:01:02,840
Speaker 1: Is anyone ever happy with your Madden raiding ever?

25
00:01:03,880 --> 00:01:06,479
Speaker 2: Oh? I mean you and I not. I mean that's

26
00:01:06,520 --> 00:01:08,520
Speaker 2: the only way you're truly happy with your h with

27
00:01:08,640 --> 00:01:09,319
Speaker 2: your MAD rating.

28
00:01:09,720 --> 00:01:11,240
Speaker 1: How is it being back out there with pads and

29
00:01:11,240 --> 00:01:12,320
Speaker 1: being able to be more physical?

30
00:01:13,680 --> 00:01:14,880
Speaker 2: Like, it's a lot better because I feel like the

31
00:01:14,920 --> 00:01:17,440
Speaker 2: defense is always physical, that overphysical when youever you don't

32
00:01:17,440 --> 00:01:19,720
Speaker 2: have pads, and now when you do have, pass's able

33
00:01:19,760 --> 00:01:22,160
Speaker 2: to just to define a little more, a lot more

34
00:01:22,200 --> 00:01:24,200
Speaker 2: for you and I'm able to like to deliver a

35
00:01:24,240 --> 00:01:25,640
Speaker 2: little blow and they're not even like just a tag

36
00:01:25,760 --> 00:01:27,560
Speaker 2: off on me and say I'm down. It really got

37
00:01:27,560 --> 00:01:29,520
Speaker 2: to kind of wrap up and uh really just trying

38
00:01:29,520 --> 00:01:30,280
Speaker 2: to bring me to the ground.

39
00:01:31,360 --> 00:01:33,920
Speaker 3: Take had a couple of different Skirmishess. Does he seem

40
00:01:33,959 --> 00:01:35,360
Speaker 3: like he has a little bit more bite to him

41
00:01:35,360 --> 00:01:36,679
Speaker 3: this year? A little bit more edge?

42
00:01:37,800 --> 00:01:40,000
Speaker 2: I would say, I want to say edge. I would

43
00:01:40,040 --> 00:01:43,600
Speaker 2: say he's a lot more smoother, He's a lot more confident, confident,

44
00:01:43,840 --> 00:01:46,039
Speaker 2: he's a lot more just he's not as ancists he

45
00:01:46,160 --> 00:01:48,200
Speaker 2: was last year. I feel like you could just kind

46
00:01:48,200 --> 00:01:50,720
Speaker 2: of tell he got he getting the swadder U behind

47
00:01:50,800 --> 00:01:52,400
Speaker 2: behind his pads, and I feel like I love that

48
00:01:52,480 --> 00:01:54,840
Speaker 2: for him because he's going to build vit apart for

49
00:01:55,000 --> 00:01:57,280
Speaker 2: us to be able to just be a great team.

50
00:01:57,800 --> 00:02:01,040
Speaker 1: You've seen from the younger guys in the running background.

51
00:02:01,960 --> 00:02:03,680
Speaker 2: I feel like the ability to learn, the ability to

52
00:02:03,720 --> 00:02:05,640
Speaker 2: pick up. I feel like they all kind, they're all

53
00:02:05,680 --> 00:02:07,120
Speaker 2: like physical. I feel like they all want to run

54
00:02:07,120 --> 00:02:09,240
Speaker 2: behind their paths. But I feel like this guy learned

55
00:02:09,400 --> 00:02:12,680
Speaker 2: the NFL and learn that you can't just bounce everything.

56
00:02:13,240 --> 00:02:15,880
Speaker 2: Everyone's got to speed. Everyone's fast, and you gotta just

57
00:02:15,960 --> 00:02:18,040
Speaker 2: kind of just get vertical, give what the defense gives you.

58
00:02:18,080 --> 00:02:20,760
Speaker 2: And let's saying the next down you.

59
00:02:20,800 --> 00:02:21,720
Speaker 1: Think everybody did.

60
00:02:21,800 --> 00:02:22,560
Speaker 2: Did you go through that?

61
00:02:22,680 --> 00:02:25,560
Speaker 1: Now? Everybody like getting the confidence after you missed that

62
00:02:25,639 --> 00:02:27,959
Speaker 1: first year? So do you kind of understand what Tank

63
00:02:28,120 --> 00:02:29,880
Speaker 1: was going through last year a little bit, you know,

64
00:02:30,240 --> 00:02:31,920
Speaker 1: and now trying to figure it out a little bit?

65
00:02:32,120 --> 00:02:33,880
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, most definitely, because I feel like you got

66
00:02:33,960 --> 00:02:37,000
Speaker 2: to understand whenever are you coming from Compton in the NFL.

67
00:02:37,240 --> 00:02:39,160
Speaker 2: You used to being the guy, the big guy on campus,

68
00:02:39,440 --> 00:02:41,000
Speaker 2: and then when you get to the NFL's kind of

69
00:02:41,000 --> 00:02:43,440
Speaker 2: like being that freshman all over again, Like no one

70
00:02:43,520 --> 00:02:45,560
Speaker 2: really cares who you are. No one really knows who

71
00:02:45,600 --> 00:02:48,400
Speaker 2: you are. You gotta kind of just rebrand yourself. And

72
00:02:48,440 --> 00:02:50,000
Speaker 2: I feel like last year was a kind of learning

73
00:02:50,040 --> 00:02:51,920
Speaker 2: curve for him because he was always the guy at

74
00:02:51,960 --> 00:02:54,400
Speaker 2: Ardman since he came in so and just he never

75
00:02:54,440 --> 00:02:56,080
Speaker 2: really had a guy like me in the running back

76
00:02:56,120 --> 00:02:58,200
Speaker 2: room with him. So for him to just understand that

77
00:02:58,560 --> 00:03:00,600
Speaker 2: he was locking and do his part, I feel like

78
00:03:00,800 --> 00:03:02,400
Speaker 2: he really learned. And I could just tell just the

79
00:03:02,440 --> 00:03:04,560
Speaker 2: way that he's been just approaching the game. And I

80
00:03:04,600 --> 00:03:06,440
Speaker 2: feel like coach Macki has been helping him a lot,

81
00:03:06,919 --> 00:03:09,959
Speaker 2: just get his IQ so much more further along, and

82
00:03:10,440 --> 00:03:12,359
Speaker 2: you can see it in his play. He was making

83
00:03:12,600 --> 00:03:14,120
Speaker 2: a lot of players out there on the field for us,

84
00:03:14,639 --> 00:03:16,359
Speaker 2: just the way he's marine just waiting hitting the hole,

85
00:03:16,960 --> 00:03:19,079
Speaker 2: just him catching the ball, looking the ball in. I

86
00:03:19,120 --> 00:03:20,560
Speaker 2: feel like it's not even day for what he was

87
00:03:20,680 --> 00:03:21,079
Speaker 2: last year.

88
00:03:21,400 --> 00:03:23,839
Speaker 3: Impressive to talk a little bit about getting him going

89
00:03:23,880 --> 00:03:26,160
Speaker 3: and ideally how that would take a bit off your work.

90
00:03:26,200 --> 00:03:28,040
Speaker 3: But do you agree, do you see that as a

91
00:03:28,080 --> 00:03:30,079
Speaker 3: potential being to hit period or how would you see

92
00:03:30,120 --> 00:03:30,400
Speaker 3: that way?

93
00:03:31,120 --> 00:03:34,120
Speaker 2: Most definitely, I mean, anytime you can have two guys

94
00:03:34,160 --> 00:03:37,400
Speaker 2: out there just being who they are, as players. That's

95
00:03:37,440 --> 00:03:39,840
Speaker 2: really great for the team. I've seen about Jamar Gives

96
00:03:39,840 --> 00:03:42,600
Speaker 2: and David Montgomery, both guys in the same system, going

97
00:03:42,640 --> 00:03:44,720
Speaker 2: over one thousand yards, and I feel like, why can't

98
00:03:44,760 --> 00:03:46,400
Speaker 2: that be yes, And I feel like it's only going

99
00:03:46,440 --> 00:03:49,080
Speaker 2: to help the team be so much better and the defense,

100
00:03:49,120 --> 00:03:50,400
Speaker 2: Like when I come out of the game, the defense

101
00:03:50,400 --> 00:03:53,040
Speaker 2: still Tank still brings a threat, and I feel like

102
00:03:53,040 --> 00:03:55,160
Speaker 2: it's going to continue to just help prepare less further

103
00:03:55,520 --> 00:03:57,320
Speaker 2: and whenever we're like so much further down the line

104
00:03:57,400 --> 00:04:00,560
Speaker 2: week seventeen, I don't really have all that back banging

105
00:04:00,640 --> 00:04:03,080
Speaker 2: and being up on my body. Tank really been helping

106
00:04:03,120 --> 00:04:04,840
Speaker 2: me and then, uh, I feel like it just helps

107
00:04:04,880 --> 00:04:06,520
Speaker 2: me fresher for a long time, and it really like

108
00:04:06,800 --> 00:04:11,400
Speaker 2: extend the longevity of my career forever a long time.

109
00:04:11,640 --> 00:04:13,760
Speaker 2: Because he's still the same guy like off the field

110
00:04:13,880 --> 00:04:15,400
Speaker 2: in the locker room that he was when he came

111
00:04:15,440 --> 00:04:16,039
Speaker 2: into Clungson.

112
00:04:16,760 --> 00:04:16,880
Speaker 1: Ah.

113
00:04:17,000 --> 00:04:18,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, mother, definitely, That's what I love about Trevor. I

114
00:04:18,839 --> 00:04:22,200
Speaker 2: feel like nothing much really changed. I feel like he's

115
00:04:22,240 --> 00:04:25,040
Speaker 2: still the same same humble guy that he's been to being.

116
00:04:25,120 --> 00:04:27,160
Speaker 2: I feel like, although who he has everything he can

117
00:04:27,320 --> 00:04:29,280
Speaker 2: have worldly I feel like it never changed who he

118
00:04:29,440 --> 00:04:31,000
Speaker 2: was in his heart, and I feel like that's why

119
00:04:31,040 --> 00:04:33,440
Speaker 2: guys are here just just able to go out there

120
00:04:33,480 --> 00:04:35,440
Speaker 2: and just play for him because I feel like he's

121
00:04:35,480 --> 00:04:37,680
Speaker 2: a great He's a great guy, great, great person, and

122
00:04:37,680 --> 00:04:39,040
Speaker 2: I feel just gonna be a great father. So I

123
00:04:39,120 --> 00:04:41,280
Speaker 2: feel like I just love to just be with him,

124
00:04:41,320 --> 00:04:42,480
Speaker 2: and I feel like that's why we're able to go

125
00:04:42,520 --> 00:04:44,680
Speaker 2: out there and just get behind him through the ups

126
00:04:44,680 --> 00:04:46,240
Speaker 2: and downs and beable just keep pushing forward.

127
00:04:46,440 --> 00:04:48,280
Speaker 1: What did it mean to you in this locker room

128
00:04:48,279 --> 00:04:49,960
Speaker 1: to see him get a contract extension?

129
00:04:50,720 --> 00:04:52,120
Speaker 2: I feel like that was great. I feel like it

130
00:04:52,200 --> 00:04:54,720
Speaker 2: just kind of does shows that uh here, that that

131
00:04:55,040 --> 00:04:57,680
Speaker 2: the the higher ups want us to be here. I

132
00:04:57,680 --> 00:05:00,280
Speaker 2: feel like they they kind of see them the that

133
00:05:00,320 --> 00:05:02,760
Speaker 2: we made around here and they kind of just kind

134
00:05:02,800 --> 00:05:04,240
Speaker 2: of want to just give back and keep the cour

135
00:05:04,320 --> 00:05:06,440
Speaker 2: together and feel like we just keep doing what we're doing.

136
00:05:06,680 --> 00:05:08,120
Speaker 2: We have a real chance to win the Super Bowl.

137
00:05:08,360 --> 00:05:10,359
Speaker 1: A liven more better this.

138
00:05:10,480 --> 00:05:12,000
Speaker 2: Year than you did.

139
00:05:12,080 --> 00:05:14,120
Speaker 1: Throw flies, like, when what are you expecting out of

140
00:05:14,160 --> 00:05:14,840
Speaker 1: yourself this year?

141
00:05:16,480 --> 00:05:19,320
Speaker 2: Unbelievable year. I feel like I want to go out

142
00:05:19,320 --> 00:05:20,720
Speaker 2: there and just be the best player that I can

143
00:05:20,800 --> 00:05:22,760
Speaker 2: be for the team. I feel like week in the week,

144
00:05:22,760 --> 00:05:25,080
Speaker 2: I would just just get my just being healthy. I

145
00:05:25,120 --> 00:05:27,159
Speaker 2: feel like for me, health as wealth and I'm able

146
00:05:27,200 --> 00:05:29,360
Speaker 2: to go out there and just present a missimatch and uh,

147
00:05:29,680 --> 00:05:31,400
Speaker 2: I just really want to see Coach just kind of

148
00:05:31,440 --> 00:05:33,760
Speaker 2: explore those matches more this year, and I feel like

149
00:05:33,800 --> 00:05:35,680
Speaker 2: that's going to help us be much better. And I

150
00:05:35,680 --> 00:05:37,400
Speaker 2: feel like they kind of get me more involved here

151
00:05:37,760 --> 00:05:39,360
Speaker 2: in the passing game. That's it's going to take my

152
00:05:39,440 --> 00:05:42,000
Speaker 2: game to another level because I feel like I've always

153
00:05:42,000 --> 00:05:43,920
Speaker 2: been electric with the ball on my hands is handed off,

154
00:05:44,000 --> 00:05:45,960
Speaker 2: but just from the gamme, the ball in the space

155
00:05:46,080 --> 00:05:48,000
Speaker 2: is going to be so much more crucial because I

156
00:05:48,120 --> 00:05:49,800
Speaker 2: feel like the first guy is never gonna talk on me,

157
00:05:50,120 --> 00:05:51,560
Speaker 2: and now just being out there one one with a back,

158
00:05:51,720 --> 00:05:54,640
Speaker 2: I'm gonna make a miss every time. That's gonna just

Speaker 2: asked me what I was going to wear it to

167
00:06:15,120 --> 00:06:16,960

Speaker 2: my brother jersey on with a Clemson hat. I'm still

169
00:06:20,240 --> 00:06:21,000

178
00:06:39,279 --> 00:06:41,080
Speaker 2: I would, but then you retire my jersey. Yes, so

179
00:06:41,120 --> 00:06:43,720
Speaker 2: it ain't even my jersey no more. They didn't move

180
00:06:43,839 --> 00:06:44,240
Speaker 2: on from me.

181
00:06:45,480 --> 00:06:47,440
Speaker 3: I think at the end of last season, you talked

182
00:06:47,440 --> 00:06:50,360
Speaker 3: about wanting to take another step in leadership. Coach Matt

183
00:06:50,440 --> 00:06:52,840
Speaker 3: called you the alpha dog in the running back room.

184
00:06:53,279 --> 00:06:56,279
Speaker 3: What does leadership look like for you going into this year?

185
00:06:57,440 --> 00:06:59,640
Speaker 2: Just been there for the guys, just uh, just being

186
00:06:59,640 --> 00:07:01,920
Speaker 2: a show that could lean on, uh me, just kind

187
00:07:01,960 --> 00:07:04,520
Speaker 2: of just being oldheaded room. Now you know you're four.

188
00:07:05,640 --> 00:07:07,680
Speaker 2: I got a lot of experience under my belt and

189
00:07:07,960 --> 00:07:09,880
Speaker 2: just being there for them whenever they have questions, whenever

190
00:07:09,880 --> 00:07:12,160
Speaker 2: they need something, just reaching out on what I'm saying,

191
00:07:12,160 --> 00:07:14,520
Speaker 2: how they feeling outside of football, and just checking on

192
00:07:14,560 --> 00:07:16,600
Speaker 2: them just to make sure they're mental right, because this

193
00:07:16,640 --> 00:07:18,440
Speaker 2: is a very physical sport and I feel like if

194
00:07:18,440 --> 00:07:21,680
Speaker 2: you don't have your mental together, it don't matter like

195
00:07:21,880 --> 00:07:23,560
Speaker 2: that you won't be who you are as a person,

196
00:07:23,560 --> 00:07:25,120
Speaker 2: you won't be already as a player. So I fe

197
00:07:25,320 --> 00:07:27,480
Speaker 2: just checking on them from a mental standpoint is really

198
00:07:27,520 --> 00:07:29,720
Speaker 2: going to just help them move much forward and just

199
00:07:29,800 --> 00:07:31,560
Speaker 2: understand that that it's okay to be vulnerable and we

200
00:07:31,680 --> 00:07:34,000
Speaker 2: all hurt, we all got weaknesses, and we all need

201
00:07:34,080 --> 00:07:35,920
Speaker 2: to get better, and just kind of making those guys

202
00:07:35,920 --> 00:07:37,800
Speaker 2: feel comfortable in the room that way they don't have

203
00:07:37,840 --> 00:07:40,400
Speaker 2: to like try to hide, try to try to not

204
00:07:40,520 --> 00:07:42,840
Speaker 2: be who they are, and just let them feel vulnerable,

205
00:07:43,000 --> 00:07:44,520
Speaker 2: make it a safe space for them to come out

206
00:07:44,520 --> 00:07:46,640
Speaker 2: here and be open, talk to us, and we know

207
00:07:46,720 --> 00:07:48,040
