1
00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:13,240
Speaker 1: Inside. I'm pretty good. How about you? Yeah, man, come

2
00:00:13,280 --> 00:00:34,159
Speaker 1: a long way. Think not only how was that, but

3
00:00:34,360 --> 00:00:36,760
Speaker 1: just in terms of how you were being, how serious

4
00:00:36,920 --> 00:00:42,200
Speaker 1: really worried? All was? Oh nah, it wasn't too bad.

5
00:00:42,600 --> 00:00:45,199
Speaker 1: When I got up, I got to finish practice. Uh

6
00:00:45,400 --> 00:00:48,120
Speaker 1: my ankle just had, you know, swelled up a little bit,

7
00:00:48,159 --> 00:00:50,760
Speaker 1: so I wasn't too worried about it. But uh yeah,

8
00:00:50,800 --> 00:00:52,760
Speaker 1: you know, I got to go over the fence for

9
00:00:52,800 --> 00:00:55,200
Speaker 1: a second. You know, my legs were like straight up

10
00:00:55,200 --> 00:00:57,120
Speaker 1: in the air. I was just like, we're gonna do this.

11
00:00:58,600 --> 00:01:01,640
Speaker 1: But it wasn't too bad. The land they took it

12
00:01:01,640 --> 00:01:04,920
Speaker 1: out after that happened. Yeah, I didn't know. Say Sanda

13
00:01:05,000 --> 00:01:07,080
Speaker 1: told me. He was like, yeah, you start some stuff

14
00:01:07,080 --> 00:01:09,120
Speaker 1: over here. Mg, they took out a whole fence for you.

15
00:01:11,760 --> 00:01:19,720
Speaker 1: We worried. Oh yeah. I had some time out there

16
00:01:19,920 --> 00:01:21,760
Speaker 1: when my legs were just dangling in the arrows, like

17
00:01:21,800 --> 00:01:23,400
Speaker 1: we can do this one or two ways. Either I'm

18
00:01:23,440 --> 00:01:25,080
Speaker 1: a land on my feet or I'm gonna you know,

19
00:01:25,160 --> 00:01:30,039
Speaker 1: fall straight to my knees. So we figured it out

20
00:01:28,440 --> 00:01:34,040
Speaker 1: about No. No, I just knocked the knocked the air

21
00:01:34,120 --> 00:01:35,440
Speaker 1: out of me for a second, so I had to

22
00:01:35,440 --> 00:01:38,760
Speaker 1: catch my breath. Then I was good. You've been a

23
00:01:38,840 --> 00:01:43,000
Speaker 1: young I mean, obviously you were fine, but there was

24
00:01:43,040 --> 00:01:53,360
Speaker 1: a period You're out there valuable. I mean, it's it's

25
00:01:53,400 --> 00:01:56,400
Speaker 1: definitely valuable because you know, anything can happen in this game.

26
00:01:56,440 --> 00:01:58,200
Speaker 1: You know, I could go down, Coop could go down,

27
00:01:58,240 --> 00:02:00,600
Speaker 1: and then it could really be like that. Um, you know,

28
00:02:00,640 --> 00:02:02,920
Speaker 1: the young bulls gonna have to step up, so h

29
00:02:03,040 --> 00:02:04,960
Speaker 1: just to see them get those reps and then uh,

30
00:02:05,040 --> 00:02:07,080
Speaker 1: you know, coming on the sideline and asking me questions

31
00:02:07,120 --> 00:02:09,680
Speaker 1: about what they need to do or anything like that. Uh,

32
00:02:09,760 --> 00:02:11,400
Speaker 1: you know, it was a pretty big step for me

33
00:02:11,440 --> 00:02:13,680
Speaker 1: because you know, I never really saw myself you know,

34
00:02:13,800 --> 00:02:23,119
Speaker 1: doing that role. But uh, it's been good. It's been good.

35
00:02:35,560 --> 00:02:39,320
Speaker 1: I would definitely say how you know Kellen is moving

36
00:02:39,320 --> 00:02:42,120
Speaker 1: a lot of the wide receivers in different spots. Um,

37
00:02:42,160 --> 00:02:43,919
Speaker 1: you know, me going to the inside, that's a whole

38
00:02:43,919 --> 00:02:46,920
Speaker 1: different route tree than you know, playing outside. Uh so

39
00:02:47,040 --> 00:02:49,600
Speaker 1: for me, just nitpicking little things, coming out of my

40
00:02:49,639 --> 00:02:51,600
Speaker 1: brakes a little bit tighter when I'm on the inside,

41
00:02:52,040 --> 00:02:54,120
Speaker 1: or just uh, you know, knowing who I need to

42
00:02:54,120 --> 00:02:55,880
Speaker 1: block or if I need to talk to the quarterback

43
00:02:55,919 --> 00:02:58,240
Speaker 1: about something, you know, making sure we have that you

44
00:02:58,280 --> 00:03:01,480
Speaker 1: know connection, Uh that he sees that I know what's

45
00:03:01,480 --> 00:03:03,560
Speaker 1: going on without him actually having to tell me anything.

46
00:03:07,840 --> 00:03:10,560
Speaker 1: I really didn't every now and then it was game plan.

47
00:03:10,680 --> 00:03:12,560
Speaker 1: I have, you know, a couple of plays in there,

48
00:03:12,600 --> 00:03:16,280
Speaker 1: but I didn't really play an inside that much. Yep,

49
00:03:16,480 --> 00:03:21,839
Speaker 1: this is this is definitely pretty new for me. I mean,

50
00:03:21,919 --> 00:03:23,880
Speaker 1: the route tree is a whole lot different. You can

51
00:03:23,960 --> 00:03:27,480
Speaker 1: get the ball a whole lot quicker. Uh. Definitely makes

52
00:03:27,480 --> 00:03:29,440
Speaker 1: for you know, bigger plays. If you have a little

53
00:03:29,680 --> 00:03:31,520
Speaker 1: you know, in and out route that's four yards, you

54
00:03:31,520 --> 00:03:33,639
Speaker 1: could turn it into like fifteen or anything like that.

55
00:03:34,000 --> 00:03:37,160
Speaker 1: So just being able to uh make plays a whole

56
00:03:37,200 --> 00:03:39,200
Speaker 1: lot quicker. The game comes a little bit faster when

57
00:03:39,200 --> 00:03:55,520
Speaker 1: you're on the inside. I definitely feel that way. Uh.

58
00:03:55,560 --> 00:03:57,320
Speaker 1: You know, everybody labels me as, you know, just a

59
00:03:57,400 --> 00:03:58,960
Speaker 1: deep ball threat, but I know I can do a

60
00:03:58,960 --> 00:04:01,320
Speaker 1: whole lot more so me being able to come on

61
00:04:01,320 --> 00:04:03,320
Speaker 1: the inside and you know, run some routes from there.

62
00:04:03,320 --> 00:04:06,200
Speaker 1: A short intermediate game can definitely show that I'm more

63
00:04:06,280 --> 00:04:13,120
Speaker 1: versatile than you know, a lot of folks think. Well,

64
00:04:13,760 --> 00:04:15,920
Speaker 1: I mean, it's really good if you know what the

65
00:04:15,960 --> 00:04:18,880
Speaker 1: outside person's running. You know, everybody who's on the outside.

66
00:04:18,920 --> 00:04:20,600
Speaker 1: So for me it's a little bit easier. I know

67
00:04:20,600 --> 00:04:23,320
Speaker 1: what he's normally got, so I know how to run

68
00:04:23,360 --> 00:04:25,120
Speaker 1: my route. You know, if I couldn't break out, if

69
00:04:25,160 --> 00:04:28,919
Speaker 1: I need to break in, So definitely, you know, being

70
00:04:29,120 --> 00:04:32,480
Speaker 1: being able to see both sides inside and out, it's

71
00:04:32,480 --> 00:04:43,480
Speaker 1: a whole lot easier. M I mean, really I asked

72
00:04:43,520 --> 00:04:45,599
Speaker 1: I had said a whole lot because said plays everywhere

73
00:04:45,640 --> 00:04:48,279
Speaker 1: for us. Um, you know, obviously one of my best

74
00:04:48,279 --> 00:04:50,120
Speaker 1: friends on the team, so I definitely if I have

75
00:04:50,160 --> 00:04:53,200
Speaker 1: a question, I asked them. Um, but I've asked Coop

76
00:04:53,240 --> 00:04:55,680
Speaker 1: and CD because you know, they fit in there a lot,

77
00:04:55,760 --> 00:05:05,200
Speaker 1: So definitely asked everybody on the team though, guys, I mean, honestly,

78
00:05:05,240 --> 00:05:08,039
Speaker 1: that's that's pretty wild to me. Uh, you know, they're

79
00:05:08,040 --> 00:05:10,440
Speaker 1: not gonna be able to follow you everywhere. Uh, they're

80
00:05:10,440 --> 00:05:13,320
Speaker 1: gonna have to change defenses up. Um, having all of

81
00:05:13,360 --> 00:05:14,920
Speaker 1: us being able to play in the slot like that,

82
00:05:15,120 --> 00:05:17,880
Speaker 1: I mean, that's that's pretty big time for you know,

83
00:05:18,080 --> 00:05:25,760
Speaker 1: just our wide receiver code in general. Uh. When I

84
00:05:25,800 --> 00:05:36,160
Speaker 1: was in college, I probably ran about four routes. Yeah. Shoot,

85
00:05:36,440 --> 00:05:38,800
Speaker 1: I mean on any given play, really, my route can

86
00:05:38,880 --> 00:05:41,600
Speaker 1: change at least three, three or four different routes. So

87
00:05:42,080 --> 00:05:45,400
Speaker 1: it's definitely way different. Um, you know, being from college

88
00:05:45,640 --> 00:05:47,800
Speaker 1: coming into the league, but there's a whole lot more

89
00:05:47,880 --> 00:05:49,640
Speaker 1: routes that have to run. Being on the outside and

90
00:05:49,760 --> 00:05:56,520
Speaker 1: on the inside now, I mean, you know, just building

91
00:05:56,520 --> 00:05:58,880
Speaker 1: back that chemistry, but just you know, in general, seeing

92
00:05:58,920 --> 00:06:00,839
Speaker 1: Dack out there on the field, that's you know, that's

93
00:06:00,880 --> 00:06:03,560
Speaker 1: exciting news, you know to anybody, you know from what

94
00:06:03,640 --> 00:06:06,200
Speaker 1: he had to go through. Um, So just not having

95
00:06:06,279 --> 00:06:08,120
Speaker 1: him out there, I mean, but him still being on

96
00:06:08,160 --> 00:06:10,680
Speaker 1: the sideline talking to is getting his hype, you know,

97
00:06:10,720 --> 00:06:14,120
Speaker 1: as he always has. Um, It's it's tough not seeing

98
00:06:14,200 --> 00:06:21,600
Speaker 1: him out there, but we know he's coming right back. Noah, Noah,

99
00:06:22,320 --> 00:06:37,080
Speaker 1: I think we're good. Oh yeah, definitely. I think it

100
00:06:37,200 --> 00:06:40,480
Speaker 1: was Connor. Connor was talking to me after we had

101
00:06:40,520 --> 00:06:43,000
Speaker 1: that scrimmage and he was like, got the fans back.

102
00:06:43,040 --> 00:06:45,800
Speaker 1: It's a little bit different. But you know, for me,

103
00:06:45,920 --> 00:06:47,600
Speaker 1: I don't know if it really changed that much because

104
00:06:47,600 --> 00:06:49,520
Speaker 1: you know, I went junior college. We didn't have it

105
00:06:49,600 --> 00:06:51,760
Speaker 1: like ten people in the stands. I ain't gonna tell you, no, Lie,

106
00:06:53,040 --> 00:06:57,480
Speaker 1: it was tough. So nahum, it's it's gonna be excited

107
00:06:57,560 --> 00:07:00,040
Speaker 1: having the fans back. But I don't know if it

108
00:07:00,080 --> 00:07:09,200
Speaker 1: really changes that much for me. Oh yeah, definitely. I mean,

109
00:07:09,360 --> 00:07:11,000
Speaker 1: you know, but that's what that's what you want to

110
00:07:11,000 --> 00:07:12,880
Speaker 1: play the game for. It though, I mean, you make

111
00:07:12,920 --> 00:07:15,200
Speaker 1: a big play, they're all gonna boo you as part

112
00:07:15,200 --> 00:07:18,360
Speaker 1: of the game. But uh, you know, it's we love

113
00:07:18,400 --> 00:07:27,920
Speaker 1: it doesn't sound like the music seems louder than the music.

114
00:07:29,240 --> 00:07:31,000
Speaker 1: I think if we play the music, it might get

115
00:07:31,040 --> 00:07:33,160
Speaker 1: a little bit, uh, we might get a little bit

116
00:07:33,200 --> 00:07:35,160
Speaker 1: off key or something like that. You know, somebody might

117
00:07:35,240 --> 00:07:37,920
Speaker 1: be dancing or something like that. So, uh, he plays

118
00:07:37,920 --> 00:07:40,000
Speaker 1: the crowd noise. It's I think it's better that we

119
00:07:40,000 --> 00:07:53,280
Speaker 1: play the crowd noise instead of music. Ah. Nah, I'm

120
00:07:53,320 --> 00:07:55,600
Speaker 1: about the same. I'm about two oh five, two oh eight,

121
00:07:56,000 --> 00:08:06,520
Speaker 1: so I'm about the same. I appreciate it though. Oh

122
00:08:06,560 --> 00:08:09,440
Speaker 1: that's that's always. That's always. Uh, it's always a good

123
00:08:09,440 --> 00:08:11,760
Speaker 1: time to go up against somebody else. Uh, you feel

124
00:08:11,760 --> 00:08:13,920
Speaker 1: a little bit different. It's not just a regular practice

125
00:08:13,960 --> 00:08:16,640
Speaker 1: that you're going through. Um, not the same corners that

126
00:08:16,680 --> 00:08:19,760
Speaker 1: you've already known for a while. Um. But yeah, having

127
00:08:19,920 --> 00:08:21,400
Speaker 1: you know, one of the best corners in the league

128
00:08:21,400 --> 00:08:24,440
Speaker 1: come out here and compete against uh, that's always a

129
00:08:24,440 --> 00:08:26,480
Speaker 1: good time. We had a great time out there. So

130
00:08:39,160 --> 00:08:42,600
Speaker 1: I mean, you know, everybody has their own little niche, uh,

131
00:08:42,640 --> 00:08:44,360
Speaker 1: what they need to do, how they need to do it.

132
00:08:44,360 --> 00:08:47,440
Speaker 1: And I got the vaccine. Um, that was just easiest

133
00:08:47,480 --> 00:08:49,960
Speaker 1: for me. So I'm not really sure. I can't really

134
00:08:49,960 --> 00:08:52,760
Speaker 1: talk about everybody else, but uh, for me, it was

135
00:08:52,800 --> 00:08:55,199
Speaker 1: just you know, get it, get it done, h come

136
00:08:55,200 --> 00:09:03,480
Speaker 1: out here and play football. Just focus on football. I

137
00:09:03,559 --> 00:09:06,640
Speaker 1: mean nobody really really you know, wants to talk about it.

138
00:09:06,880 --> 00:09:11,520
Speaker 1: I guess, uh, everybody thinks you be in controlled you

139
00:09:11,520 --> 00:09:14,480
Speaker 1: can say it like that. But for me, it's just

140
00:09:14,760 --> 00:09:16,840
Speaker 1: I'm trying to get on the field, you know, not

141
00:09:16,960 --> 00:09:28,800
Speaker 1: cause my team any issues. So shoot slant nine ball

142
00:09:29,480 --> 00:09:41,559
Speaker 1: and then uh, you know four route. Not a whole lot, uh,

143
00:09:41,840 --> 00:09:43,480
Speaker 1: I mean we got a couple of j routes that

144
00:09:43,480 --> 00:09:47,360
Speaker 1: I run in the end zone. Um, we have some

145
00:09:47,520 --> 00:09:50,720
Speaker 1: routes on the inside just really just you know, one

146
00:09:50,760 --> 00:09:52,920
Speaker 1: step slants, you know, something to get the ball out,

147
00:09:53,000 --> 00:09:56,560
Speaker 1: quick return routes. Um, there's a whole lot of routes

148
00:09:56,800 --> 00:09:59,200
Speaker 1: to be honest, But uh, I like it. I like

149
00:09:59,280 --> 00:10:21,520
Speaker 1: being able to do it all. M yeah, definitely, Oh yeah,

150
00:10:21,559 --> 00:10:23,800
Speaker 1: for sure. Once you once you actually do it, instead

151
00:10:23,840 --> 00:10:25,480
Speaker 1: of just you know, like seeing it on film or

152
00:10:25,480 --> 00:10:27,480
Speaker 1: something like that, you actually have to You gotta make

153
00:10:27,520 --> 00:10:30,120
Speaker 1: sure there's a max split outside, make sure you're in

154
00:10:30,160 --> 00:10:31,880
Speaker 1: the right spot so you have enough room to come

155
00:10:31,880 --> 00:10:34,720
Speaker 1: out of your brakes. Um, so you definitely get to

156
00:10:34,720 --> 00:10:36,760
Speaker 1: see the whole field. So I can definitely understand that

157
00:10:36,760 --> 00:10:44,360
Speaker 1: when folks talk about moving inside from outside. Uh, I

158
00:10:44,360 --> 00:10:47,280
Speaker 1: mean it's it's helped me be more aware of you know,

159
00:10:47,440 --> 00:10:49,600
Speaker 1: where I'm at on the field, what I need to accomplish,

160
00:10:49,600 --> 00:11:02,760
Speaker 1: and how I need to do it. So yeahs important thing. Shoot,

161
00:11:03,480 --> 00:11:05,320
Speaker 1: I don't really know. I don't I don't really know

162
00:11:05,360 --> 00:11:07,520
Speaker 1: how to answer that one to him. Just go up

163
00:11:07,520 --> 00:11:13,600
Speaker 1: and catch the balls for me, it's a natural thing.

164
00:11:14,080 --> 00:11:23,280
Speaker 1: But you're not receiver. But yeah, yeah, I think that's

165
00:11:23,480 --> 00:11:25,760
Speaker 1: that's always been just a natural thing. Yeah I'm not,

166
00:11:25,840 --> 00:11:28,480
Speaker 1: you know, obviously the biggest anything. But when the balls

167
00:11:28,480 --> 00:11:30,480
Speaker 1: in the era, I'm always gonna think it's mind So

168
00:11:30,720 --> 00:11:32,959
Speaker 1: I'm gonna get up there some type of way. Uh,

169
00:11:33,120 --> 00:11:35,120
Speaker 1: that's the only way I've really been coached to do it.

170
00:11:35,400 --> 00:11:37,360
Speaker 1: Uh see on the way I've seen myself do it.

171
00:11:37,440 --> 00:11:41,120
Speaker 1: So sorry, I can't really elaborate on that. It's natural

172
00:11:43,880 --> 00:11:53,920
Speaker 1: about this year, more outgoing whatever. I think he's definitely

173
00:11:54,440 --> 00:11:58,480
Speaker 1: more excited, more comfortable. Um. I've always talked to Randy

174
00:11:58,520 --> 00:12:02,000
Speaker 1: a lot. He's a good dude. But this year, Yeah,

175
00:12:02,200 --> 00:12:04,160
Speaker 1: I definitely think he's been a little bit more vocal

176
00:12:04,679 --> 00:12:07,440
Speaker 1: um coming off the sideline, you know, even talking to

177
00:12:07,559 --> 00:12:10,640
Speaker 1: just a lot of offensive players in general. UM, I've

178
00:12:10,679 --> 00:12:14,280
Speaker 1: definitely seen it. He's excited to play this year. So, UM,

179
00:12:14,320 --> 00:12:29,959
Speaker 1: I really think that's a big up for us. I

180
00:12:30,000 --> 00:12:33,080
Speaker 1: wouldn't say it factored in. UM. I mean, I'm gonna

181
00:12:33,080 --> 00:12:36,320
Speaker 1: come out here and play regardless hard for you know,

182
00:12:36,400 --> 00:12:38,800
Speaker 1: every single game we have. The vaccine just made it

183
00:12:38,840 --> 00:12:41,439
Speaker 1: a whole lot easier. Um, you know, not having to

184
00:12:41,440 --> 00:12:43,360
Speaker 1: worry about getting COVID tested and I have to worry

185
00:12:43,400 --> 00:12:45,480
Speaker 1: about all the off the field stuff. Just coming here

186
00:12:45,520 --> 00:12:53,400
Speaker 1: and practice and then go play the games. Uh. I

187
00:12:53,440 --> 00:12:54,960
Speaker 1: mean for me, it's just you know, if I do

188
00:12:55,000 --> 00:12:56,680
Speaker 1: everything I'm supposed to do on the field, you know

189
00:12:56,679 --> 00:12:58,400
Speaker 1: the things are gonna come from me off the field.

190
00:12:58,640 --> 00:13:02,079
Speaker 1: Not too worried about that. Uh, It's gonna happen regardless.

191
00:13:02,400 --> 00:13:04,440
Speaker 1: I just got to make sure that I put myself

192
00:13:04,480 --> 00:13:07,199
Speaker 1: in the best position on the field, so everything can

193
00:13:07,200 --> 00:13:34,240
Speaker 1: fall in place. Off. I definitely think that mental health

194
00:13:34,440 --> 00:13:36,679
Speaker 1: is probably one of the biggest things we have to

195
00:13:37,160 --> 00:13:41,760
Speaker 1: actually figure out how to overcome, not even just overcome,

196
00:13:41,800 --> 00:13:44,800
Speaker 1: but like work with it, um, because I mean, you know,

197
00:13:45,040 --> 00:13:49,400
Speaker 1: you know me, Uh, I had a brother that passed away, um,

198
00:13:49,640 --> 00:13:52,040
Speaker 1: and to come back and play the game that week

199
00:13:52,280 --> 00:13:54,360
Speaker 1: and then go back home and then you know, live

200
00:13:54,440 --> 00:13:58,840
Speaker 1: that tragedy. UM. I think you gotta be strong headed, um,

201
00:13:58,880 --> 00:14:02,400
Speaker 1: strong minded. UH, have good intentions in what you're doing.

202
00:14:02,840 --> 00:14:07,040
Speaker 1: Because the relationships that you build on this team, Uh,

203
00:14:07,360 --> 00:14:09,120
Speaker 1: you got to make sure that they can all come

204
00:14:09,120 --> 00:14:12,319
Speaker 1: back and talk to you. Be a good person to everybody.

205
00:14:12,760 --> 00:14:15,839
Speaker 1: Make sure that you have the right motive to play

206
00:14:15,920 --> 00:14:17,640
Speaker 1: this game, because if you don't, you're gonna go out

207
00:14:17,640 --> 00:14:19,120
Speaker 1: there and it's just not gonna be good for you.

208
00:14:19,480 --> 00:14:21,640
Speaker 1: So make sure your head's on straight before you, you know,

209
00:14:21,720 --> 00:14:24,320
Speaker 1: strap up the pads. I think mental health is really

210
00:14:24,320 --> 00:14:41,120
Speaker 1: a big key aspect in football. I think I think

211
00:14:41,280 --> 00:14:43,840
Speaker 1: I can't. I came back. I asked my mom. I

212
00:14:44,000 --> 00:14:46,600
Speaker 1: was like, and you're gonna be okay if I go

213
00:14:46,640 --> 00:14:48,960
Speaker 1: back and play this game and then come back because

214
00:14:49,120 --> 00:14:52,680
Speaker 1: I don't think I was ready for what really happened. Um.

215
00:14:52,720 --> 00:14:55,040
Speaker 1: I think I just needed to you know, kind of

216
00:14:55,440 --> 00:14:58,960
Speaker 1: do something else, let me just really you know, process

217
00:14:59,040 --> 00:15:01,440
Speaker 1: what really happened and then come back to it. So

218
00:15:01,640 --> 00:15:03,240
Speaker 1: I asked her and she was like, that's fine, that's

219
00:15:03,240 --> 00:15:06,160
Speaker 1: what he wanted you to do anyway. Um, So I

220
00:15:06,160 --> 00:15:07,920
Speaker 1: went and play the game and then I went back home,

221
00:15:08,720 --> 00:15:10,680
Speaker 1: and I think that worked out better for me instead

222
00:15:10,680 --> 00:15:14,240
Speaker 1: of just you know, thinking about it for five six

223
00:15:14,360 --> 00:15:17,120
Speaker 1: days and then having the funeral and then trying to

224
00:15:17,120 --> 00:15:21,040
Speaker 1: come back and play football. So it was. It was

225
00:15:21,080 --> 00:15:23,520
Speaker 1: definitely tough, but I think I went about it the

226
00:15:23,600 --> 00:15:30,160
Speaker 1: right way. Solid. But so I appreciate you guys,
