1 00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:02,320 Speaker 1: You definitely expected. I mean, obviously can come out here 2 00:00:02,320 --> 00:00:05,640 Speaker 1: and do whatever they see fit to stop us on offense. 3 00:00:05,640 --> 00:00:07,840 Speaker 1: So may definitely go in there expecting them. We just 4 00:00:07,880 --> 00:00:10,600 Speaker 1: gotta blocking up protect Mac and they'll give enough time 5 00:00:10,640 --> 00:00:13,840 Speaker 1: to read everything out. He noticed a lot of fall 6 00:00:13,880 --> 00:00:18,200 Speaker 1: security drills to start practice. I guess you're running back group. 7 00:00:18,320 --> 00:00:22,840 Speaker 1: You know it's the message. Especially We've always done it, 8 00:00:23,079 --> 00:00:26,600 Speaker 1: even previously before last week, but obviously it's even more 9 00:00:26,600 --> 00:00:29,320 Speaker 1: of a sensive urgency now after after the first game. 10 00:00:29,360 --> 00:00:31,319 Speaker 1: So I think everybody knows the importance of protecting the 11 00:00:31,320 --> 00:00:33,600 Speaker 1: football and just gotta improve of last week and just 12 00:00:33,680 --> 00:00:35,440 Speaker 1: be better. And like I said, those guys are learning 13 00:00:35,479 --> 00:00:40,920 Speaker 1: from it and it'll make them better players. Like we 14 00:00:40,960 --> 00:00:43,479 Speaker 1: haven't done that. Yeah, obviously that's not what we want 15 00:00:43,479 --> 00:00:45,800 Speaker 1: to do obviously, but like I said, it'll make guys, 16 00:00:46,040 --> 00:00:48,239 Speaker 1: make guys better, And I think it's gonna be at 17 00:00:48,280 --> 00:00:50,800 Speaker 1: the forefront of everybody's mind when when we're all running 18 00:00:50,800 --> 00:00:53,199 Speaker 1: with the football, just protected, because I mean, that's what 19 00:00:53,320 --> 00:00:55,680 Speaker 1: all defensive coaches are gonna be preaching out after they're 20 00:00:55,800 --> 00:00:57,960 Speaker 1: seeing the film last week. They can get the ball 21 00:00:58,000 --> 00:01:00,160 Speaker 1: off of us so for us to come back we 22 00:01:00,200 --> 00:01:02,800 Speaker 1: gotta protective, run hard, break tackles that they're gonna focus 23 00:01:02,800 --> 00:01:04,480 Speaker 1: on trying to get the ball off us, not to 24 00:01:04,520 --> 00:01:09,600 Speaker 1: take anything anything. When you're probably looking at the game 25 00:01:09,640 --> 00:01:13,959 Speaker 1: in totality, you say, yeah, we definitely had an opportunities 26 00:01:14,000 --> 00:01:16,080 Speaker 1: to win the football game, and we you know, didn't 27 00:01:16,120 --> 00:01:18,560 Speaker 1: make the plays when we needed to make them, and 28 00:01:18,920 --> 00:01:21,040 Speaker 1: obviously just got to hold onto the football. When he 29 00:01:21,120 --> 00:01:23,080 Speaker 1: turned the ball over, you lessen your chance to win 30 00:01:23,120 --> 00:01:25,600 Speaker 1: the football game. And all of us know that, and 31 00:01:25,640 --> 00:01:33,880 Speaker 1: like I said, it's just even more important now. Sorry game, 32 00:01:33,880 --> 00:01:45,760 Speaker 1: he said, you guys, I mean, he just coaches us 33 00:01:45,840 --> 00:01:48,560 Speaker 1: up and says, obviously we know the mistakes that we 34 00:01:48,680 --> 00:01:50,760 Speaker 1: made out there, and then he expects a lot out 35 00:01:50,760 --> 00:01:52,559 Speaker 1: of us, and we expect a lot of our out 36 00:01:52,560 --> 00:01:54,680 Speaker 1: of ourselves. So he just wants us to go out 37 00:01:54,720 --> 00:01:56,840 Speaker 1: there next week and improving. And he said there's a 38 00:01:56,880 --> 00:01:59,040 Speaker 1: lot of football left and there's a lot of rumor 39 00:01:59,080 --> 00:02:01,360 Speaker 1: improvement for each one every one of us that played 40 00:02:01,440 --> 00:02:03,520 Speaker 1: last week. This week that I was talking about you 41 00:02:03,560 --> 00:02:04,960 Speaker 1: and just said that he thought, you know the way 42 00:02:05,000 --> 00:02:07,800 Speaker 1: the office he can play right now, and if it's 43 00:02:07,880 --> 00:02:10,520 Speaker 1: your skill set, really well, and just hear you just 44 00:02:10,560 --> 00:02:13,720 Speaker 1: to start off on a strong noe. So get back 45 00:02:13,720 --> 00:02:16,200 Speaker 1: to you. Oh for me, I want to do whatever 46 00:02:16,240 --> 00:02:18,200 Speaker 1: it takes to help the team win. Like I said, 47 00:02:18,200 --> 00:02:20,560 Speaker 1: whether it's blocking, run, and catching the football. I said, 48 00:02:20,560 --> 00:02:22,200 Speaker 1: all of us is running backs. You're gonna be out there. 49 00:02:22,280 --> 00:02:24,799 Speaker 1: Nobody's gonna play the entire time. So when my number 50 00:02:24,880 --> 00:02:27,920 Speaker 1: is called, whether like I said, blocking, catching, running, I 51 00:02:27,960 --> 00:02:29,720 Speaker 1: just want to do whatever I can to help the 52 00:02:29,720 --> 00:02:32,640 Speaker 1: team win. So if it's getting the ball, if it's blocking, 53 00:02:32,919 --> 00:02:35,200 Speaker 1: doesn't matter. I just want to help my team. Brandon 54 00:02:35,280 --> 00:02:38,120 Speaker 1: talked to us, asked him about stealing all a Liven's 55 00:02:38,200 --> 00:02:44,160 Speaker 1: close the blocker kid back. You remember, No, I haven't 56 00:02:44,160 --> 00:02:49,080 Speaker 1: done anything like that. Brandon's the jokes. I don't know 57 00:02:49,080 --> 00:02:51,240 Speaker 1: if you remember this, but in training camp, I think 58 00:02:51,280 --> 00:02:52,720 Speaker 1: I asked you at one point at the end of 59 00:02:52,760 --> 00:02:55,000 Speaker 1: one of your interviews, like, how do you feel, you know, 60 00:02:55,120 --> 00:02:58,200 Speaker 1: like entering I think you're eight, you know and ixact 61 00:02:58,200 --> 00:03:01,040 Speaker 1: think you said, I feel good, like and I'm curious 62 00:03:01,080 --> 00:03:05,040 Speaker 1: to just coming back this year, Like how much better 63 00:03:05,120 --> 00:03:08,480 Speaker 1: do you feel physically than maybe you did last year? 64 00:03:08,800 --> 00:03:10,799 Speaker 1: I mean, I feel good. I worked harder all season. 65 00:03:11,360 --> 00:03:13,760 Speaker 1: Just try to come in, come out ready to go 66 00:03:13,880 --> 00:03:16,840 Speaker 1: from you know many camp OTA's to training camp. Just 67 00:03:16,880 --> 00:03:19,160 Speaker 1: like I said, just do where I can't help my 68 00:03:19,200 --> 00:03:22,399 Speaker 1: team and improve my performers for last year. Obviously last 69 00:03:22,440 --> 00:03:25,120 Speaker 1: year wasn't my best year. Keep saying that, and I 70 00:03:25,080 --> 00:03:27,040 Speaker 1: just want to be better and help my team win 71 00:03:27,080 --> 00:03:30,400 Speaker 1: football games. And did you have any like not think 72 00:03:30,440 --> 00:03:32,880 Speaker 1: you need to prove it to yourself, but like as 73 00:03:32,880 --> 00:03:35,040 Speaker 1: you get to like an advanced stage in your career, 74 00:03:35,280 --> 00:03:38,920 Speaker 1: is there any thought in your mind of like I 75 00:03:39,000 --> 00:03:40,920 Speaker 1: need to see it, you know, to know that I'm 76 00:03:40,920 --> 00:03:44,440 Speaker 1: still capable of that thing at this time level. I mean, 77 00:03:44,440 --> 00:03:46,160 Speaker 1: each year, like I said, said, what have you done 78 00:03:46,160 --> 00:03:49,280 Speaker 1: for me lately? League? So each year you gotta go 79 00:03:49,320 --> 00:03:50,840 Speaker 1: out there and prove yourself all over you And I 80 00:03:50,840 --> 00:03:54,960 Speaker 1: always say that to myself. And obviously the older you get, 81 00:03:55,040 --> 00:03:57,360 Speaker 1: the more people want to see if you can quote 82 00:03:57,400 --> 00:03:59,600 Speaker 1: unquote still do it or whatever. So you want to 83 00:03:59,640 --> 00:04:01,520 Speaker 1: go out there compete hard each and every day, and 84 00:04:01,560 --> 00:04:03,440 Speaker 1: so other coaches you can go out there to compete. 85 00:04:03,960 --> 00:04:06,160 Speaker 1: I know you're not studying defense, but we were talking 86 00:04:06,200 --> 00:04:09,800 Speaker 1: with Dante about you know, his first game in twenty months, Um, 87 00:04:10,120 --> 00:04:11,840 Speaker 1: what have you just seen from him lately? You know, 88 00:04:11,840 --> 00:04:14,560 Speaker 1: maybe even progression from your first day of training camp 89 00:04:14,640 --> 00:04:17,000 Speaker 1: up until now. How he looks in practice. He's a 90 00:04:17,000 --> 00:04:21,160 Speaker 1: good football player. Obviously, it doesn't look like he missed 91 00:04:21,200 --> 00:04:23,840 Speaker 1: a year. He's working hard and he's a very versatile 92 00:04:23,839 --> 00:04:28,560 Speaker 1: football player. He can can cover, rush, destroy blockers. It's 93 00:04:28,600 --> 00:04:30,520 Speaker 1: good in the run game, man passing games. So it's 94 00:04:30,520 --> 00:04:32,920 Speaker 1: definitely good to have him back out there. How much 95 00:04:33,240 --> 00:04:35,520 Speaker 1: I'm talking about last year and no nothink your best year. 96 00:04:35,839 --> 00:04:37,919 Speaker 1: How much in the offseason and even into the spring 97 00:04:37,960 --> 00:04:40,680 Speaker 1: and summer was it about clearing your mind and being 98 00:04:40,720 --> 00:04:44,000 Speaker 1: like that's in the past, I can still do this, 99 00:04:44,080 --> 00:04:46,400 Speaker 1: and then having those moments whether it's the wheel rod 100 00:04:46,480 --> 00:04:48,520 Speaker 1: during the game or the wheel rod during the joint 101 00:04:48,560 --> 00:04:51,960 Speaker 1: practices and the giants where it's like okay, same oh. 102 00:04:52,000 --> 00:04:54,280 Speaker 1: I always had confidence in myself, regardless of what the 103 00:04:54,320 --> 00:04:57,479 Speaker 1: situation was last year or this year. Just always have 104 00:04:57,560 --> 00:04:59,200 Speaker 1: a confidence of yourself. And like I said, you do 105 00:04:59,200 --> 00:05:02,280 Speaker 1: it out there under practic field, and nine times I 106 00:05:02,279 --> 00:05:04,800 Speaker 1: attend you you get probably executing the game. So you 107 00:05:05,400 --> 00:05:07,760 Speaker 1: coach says it all the time, practice execution turns into 108 00:05:07,800 --> 00:05:09,760 Speaker 1: game reality. So you do it on the practice field, 109 00:05:10,080 --> 00:05:12,120 Speaker 1: You're gonna be more confident, and your ability to do 110 00:05:12,120 --> 00:05:13,839 Speaker 1: it into the game probably make it a little bit 111 00:05:13,880 --> 00:05:16,120 Speaker 1: easier for you. Then how much did it feel better 112 00:05:16,160 --> 00:05:18,599 Speaker 1: as the game went on that you were more part 113 00:05:18,600 --> 00:05:24,120 Speaker 1: of it? You were you know, maybe the more that Oh, 114 00:05:24,240 --> 00:05:26,120 Speaker 1: like I said, the ball comes my way, I just 115 00:05:26,120 --> 00:05:28,200 Speaker 1: want to make plays for my team, like I said, 116 00:05:28,200 --> 00:05:30,680 Speaker 1: it may not be like that every single week, and 117 00:05:31,040 --> 00:05:33,520 Speaker 1: when my number is called more often, like I said, 118 00:05:34,200 --> 00:05:36,360 Speaker 1: the team's trust me when the balls in my hands. 119 00:05:36,360 --> 00:05:37,919 Speaker 1: So I got to make a play and protect the 120 00:05:37,920 --> 00:05:41,800 Speaker 1: football and execute the play. That's that's called by Josh 121 00:05:43,040 --> 00:05:47,880 Speaker 1: at my commissioned. Were you as impressment the throwers all 122 00:05:47,920 --> 00:05:50,159 Speaker 1: of us work at the time. I mean, it's what 123 00:05:50,320 --> 00:05:53,080 Speaker 1: he does in practice. Like I said, practice execution turns 124 00:05:53,120 --> 00:05:55,800 Speaker 1: the game reality. We done it in practice and got 125 00:05:55,800 --> 00:05:58,599 Speaker 1: the exact look and practice that we got in the game. 126 00:05:58,680 --> 00:06:00,680 Speaker 1: So it's got to make it happen. And he does 127 00:06:00,680 --> 00:06:03,360 Speaker 1: a great job of finding the open receivers. So for 128 00:06:03,440 --> 00:06:05,479 Speaker 1: us and skill players, just one of your routes or 129 00:06:05,600 --> 00:06:08,480 Speaker 1: being the right spots for him and and the protection 130 00:06:08,560 --> 00:06:10,919 Speaker 1: just giving him enough time to figure everything out and 131 00:06:11,000 --> 00:06:13,560 Speaker 1: to execute that. Playing a big spot during eleven play 132 00:06:13,680 --> 00:06:15,520 Speaker 1: in the game. What does that say about? You know what? 133 00:06:15,680 --> 00:06:19,200 Speaker 1: You guys. Yeah, I think we played, you know, pretty 134 00:06:19,200 --> 00:06:21,960 Speaker 1: well on third down last week. In some areas we didn't. 135 00:06:22,000 --> 00:06:26,440 Speaker 1: So improving the improving all those other areas, protecting the football, Um, 136 00:06:26,560 --> 00:06:29,040 Speaker 1: there's those little things and playing better in situational football 137 00:06:29,080 --> 00:06:31,240 Speaker 1: something that we stressed all the time. So I said, 138 00:06:31,240 --> 00:06:34,520 Speaker 1: I think everybody being excited. You know, everybody's no excitence yesterday, 139 00:06:34,520 --> 00:06:36,960 Speaker 1: get back on the practice field and you know, improve 140 00:06:37,040 --> 00:06:40,840 Speaker 1: off last week.

What what 142 00:06:43,680 --> 00:06:46,600 Speaker 1: have you noticed on And just like his late focusing 143 00:06:46,680 --> 00:06:50,440 Speaker 1: in for a rookie to be doing sometimes he's a professional, 144 00:06:50,560 --> 00:06:53,520 Speaker 1: like I said, he's working hard, taking the coaching, trying 145 00:06:53,520 --> 00:06:56,240 Speaker 1: to keep everybody motivated. On the officive side. Um, like 146 00:06:56,240 --> 00:06:59,000 Speaker 1: I said, it's a quarterback. Everybody's looking at you in 147 00:06:59,040 --> 00:07:01,320 Speaker 1: the huddle.
