1
00:00:02,880 --> 00:00:08,959
Speaker 1: Damien Harris. Everybody, what's it like to share a room

2
00:00:08,960 --> 00:00:14,360
Speaker 1: with this? Umm? Kind of glad I didn't get recruited

3
00:00:14,400 --> 00:00:19,200
Speaker 1: real hard by Alabama sometimes, but no, uh, since since

4
00:00:19,280 --> 00:00:23,520
Speaker 1: Damien came in, he's been, Uh, he's been a great guy.

5
00:00:23,640 --> 00:00:28,840
Speaker 1: I mean, awesome teammate, awesome football player. Um came in

6
00:00:28,920 --> 00:00:31,360
Speaker 1: and bought right into the program and you know, jumped

7
00:00:31,360 --> 00:00:33,960
Speaker 1: in and just like he's been in our running back

8
00:00:34,040 --> 00:00:37,680
Speaker 1: him since forever. So and it was it's real refreshing.

9
00:00:38,560 --> 00:00:40,280
Speaker 1: It's just sitting out last year and come back and

10
00:00:40,320 --> 00:00:43,360
Speaker 1: see nobody changed whatsoever. So it's been it's been pretty good.

11
00:00:45,800 --> 00:00:51,960
Speaker 1: Somebody or just the lights run Um. I was telling

12
00:00:52,000 --> 00:00:53,920
Speaker 1: him like first day, first day we came back for

13
00:00:54,040 --> 00:00:56,280
Speaker 1: mini camp, and I was like, I'm y'all gonna have

14
00:00:56,360 --> 00:00:58,080
Speaker 1: to forgive me if I miss out on that first

15
00:00:58,080 --> 00:00:59,880
Speaker 1: game like we's done. Was like I got to hit somebody,

16
00:01:00,040 --> 00:01:05,000
Speaker 1: I mean now, But dealing with these clowns. They messed

17
00:01:05,000 --> 00:01:07,039
Speaker 1: with me all the time, like throw bags and hit

18
00:01:07,080 --> 00:01:09,160
Speaker 1: you with all type of stuff. So they've been trying

19
00:01:09,200 --> 00:01:10,960
Speaker 1: to get me ready to come back to it and

20
00:01:11,000 --> 00:01:13,520
Speaker 1: then keeping in contact with them all last season. They

21
00:01:13,560 --> 00:01:15,240
Speaker 1: kind of kept me abreast of what to look for

22
00:01:15,319 --> 00:01:18,400
Speaker 1: and everything else. So I'm excited to get back to football.

23
00:01:19,480 --> 00:01:22,399
Speaker 1: It's been a blast so far getting into it, but

24
00:01:22,600 --> 00:01:26,720
Speaker 1: real game activity, I'm itching for it. Brandon, You're gonna

25
00:01:27,640 --> 00:01:32,000
Speaker 1: several former Dolphins on the team just to people, you know,

26
00:01:32,080 --> 00:01:35,760
Speaker 1: what was your what was your tenure like there, and

27
00:01:36,120 --> 00:01:39,959
Speaker 1: what did you learn about yourself? You wasn't here last

28
00:01:39,959 --> 00:01:42,800
Speaker 1: time we had this conversation. We don't talk about that year.

29
00:01:43,720 --> 00:01:49,480
Speaker 1: M I learned. I learned a lot. I learned a

30
00:01:49,520 --> 00:01:52,040
Speaker 1: lot about adversity. I learned a lot about myself dealing

31
00:01:52,040 --> 00:01:54,320
Speaker 1: with adversity of being in a new place, and that

32
00:01:54,440 --> 00:01:56,520
Speaker 1: was just totally different being here for so long and

33
00:01:56,520 --> 00:01:59,440
Speaker 1: then going somewhere else, not knowing absolutely anybody but Danny

34
00:01:59,440 --> 00:02:03,000
Speaker 1: and m Adol, and then you know, just kind of

35
00:02:03,040 --> 00:02:05,240
Speaker 1: working my way through a new thing and then boom,

36
00:02:05,240 --> 00:02:09,120
Speaker 1: we're playing on Sunday and just kind of went out

37
00:02:09,120 --> 00:02:11,560
Speaker 1: there and do what I've been doing, and then to

38
00:02:11,680 --> 00:02:14,680
Speaker 1: see how the season didn't go that well, but I

39
00:02:14,720 --> 00:02:17,160
Speaker 1: had a pretty okay season. And then to come back

40
00:02:17,200 --> 00:02:19,680
Speaker 1: and jump right back into it and nothing ever changed.

41
00:02:19,720 --> 00:02:22,640
Speaker 1: So this taught me a lot about myself and talking

42
00:02:22,680 --> 00:02:27,799
Speaker 1: about what I'm capable of and mentally and physically. One

43
00:02:27,800 --> 00:02:29,600
Speaker 1: thing I've noticed I don't know if you have of

44
00:02:29,639 --> 00:02:32,440
Speaker 1: your teammate Damien Harris. Sometimes when he runs, like he

45
00:02:32,560 --> 00:02:34,120
Speaker 1: might be down at the other end of the field

46
00:02:34,560 --> 00:02:36,399
Speaker 1: and he'll like run all the way to the other

47
00:02:36,520 --> 00:02:39,400
Speaker 1: end zone. Have you ever noticed that about him? Like,

48
00:02:39,440 --> 00:02:45,760
Speaker 1: did that ever catch your eye? Yeah, he's he's out

49
00:02:45,840 --> 00:02:48,840
Speaker 1: his mind, That's what the problem is. But no, like

50
00:02:48,880 --> 00:02:51,399
Speaker 1: we talk about it as a group as we want

51
00:02:51,440 --> 00:02:53,919
Speaker 1: to work on finishing. We want big plays, we want

52
00:02:53,960 --> 00:02:56,200
Speaker 1: long plays, and you know, we don't want to leave

53
00:02:56,200 --> 00:02:58,359
Speaker 1: it up to the receivers in the quarterback to throw

54
00:02:58,400 --> 00:03:00,600
Speaker 1: the ball fifty yards down field and getting there and

55
00:03:00,720 --> 00:03:03,160
Speaker 1: make break a sixty seven yard run and actually score.

56
00:03:03,639 --> 00:03:06,320
Speaker 1: So you know that's when I came back and I

57
00:03:06,320 --> 00:03:08,400
Speaker 1: saw him doing that. Now it was like everybody should

58
00:03:08,400 --> 00:03:10,120
Speaker 1: do it, And as a group, you know, we started

59
00:03:10,120 --> 00:03:12,120
Speaker 1: to do it. If we do break a big run

60
00:03:12,320 --> 00:03:14,519
Speaker 1: or if we do catch a pass down the field

61
00:03:14,520 --> 00:03:16,480
Speaker 1: and we know we don't have that next play, we

62
00:03:16,600 --> 00:03:19,280
Speaker 1: go finish and then you know we're still trying to

63
00:03:19,280 --> 00:03:21,760
Speaker 1: come up with a running back end zone celebration. So

64
00:03:22,280 --> 00:03:24,520
Speaker 1: kind of give everybody a little thinking point of walking

65
00:03:24,520 --> 00:03:26,600
Speaker 1: down there, are gonna meet up with him, but uh,

66
00:03:26,720 --> 00:03:30,680
Speaker 1: it's it's just a testament to him how hard he

67
00:03:30,720 --> 00:03:32,960
Speaker 1: works and his vision for himself and the vision he

68
00:03:33,000 --> 00:03:35,760
Speaker 1: has for our room. And I'm glad to be back

69
00:03:35,800 --> 00:03:43,400
Speaker 1: part of it. How to for special teams lives for

70
00:03:43,520 --> 00:03:48,600
Speaker 1: trickery on the part of the golfice. Oh, Coach Danny

71
00:03:48,600 --> 00:03:53,560
Speaker 1: Crossman is a special team genius kind of um and

72
00:03:53,720 --> 00:03:55,600
Speaker 1: he can do anything out of any kind of look.

73
00:03:55,640 --> 00:03:58,320
Speaker 1: And it doesn't mean as far as trickery. They could

74
00:03:58,360 --> 00:04:01,160
Speaker 1: come out in the regular formation and then and boom,

75
00:04:01,240 --> 00:04:03,760
Speaker 1: they got somebody with the ball that's not supposed to

76
00:04:03,760 --> 00:04:06,520
Speaker 1: have it. So playing against him for so many years,

77
00:04:06,560 --> 00:04:09,400
Speaker 1: it's kind of kind of used to it. I'm expecting

78
00:04:09,440 --> 00:04:11,320
Speaker 1: it if they just come out there and line up

79
00:04:11,360 --> 00:04:14,200
Speaker 1: in a regular puntformation and then, yeah, I'll be shocked.

80
00:04:14,560 --> 00:04:17,200
Speaker 1: But I'm on my toes twenty four seven with coach Danny.

81
00:04:17,760 --> 00:04:21,280
Speaker 1: Great guy, great coach. Like I said, he's borderline genius

82
00:04:21,320 --> 00:04:23,640
Speaker 1: and uh, I can't wait to get back out there

83
00:04:23,680 --> 00:04:27,480
Speaker 1: and see what he kind of came up with. Brandon

84
00:04:27,560 --> 00:04:31,480
Speaker 1: every time we talked to im years had some funny

85
00:04:31,480 --> 00:04:34,479
Speaker 1: things to say. About you guys, and for got to

86
00:04:34,520 --> 00:04:41,880
Speaker 1: talk to you. I assume he's like that all the time. Uh,

87
00:04:42,040 --> 00:04:46,360
Speaker 1: I been. Um, I mean I haven't had a special relationship.

88
00:04:46,360 --> 00:04:48,760
Speaker 1: And he's been my running back coach since my rookie years,

89
00:04:48,800 --> 00:04:53,080
Speaker 1: so this is my tenth year of getting on his nerves.

90
00:04:53,120 --> 00:04:57,120
Speaker 1: So uh, we have a special relationship. And yeah, it's

91
00:04:57,120 --> 00:04:59,880
Speaker 1: every day. It's a different type of story. Or Dan

92
00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:03,120
Speaker 1: Amy and Me, James, anybody could do anything that reminds

93
00:05:03,200 --> 00:05:05,400
Speaker 1: him of, as he says, the glory days of football

94
00:05:05,440 --> 00:05:09,200
Speaker 1: back before pretty much all of us were born. Um.

95
00:05:09,240 --> 00:05:11,280
Speaker 1: He has a bunch of stories about that and all

96
00:05:11,320 --> 00:05:13,839
Speaker 1: his past experiences, but a lot of them has a

97
00:05:13,880 --> 00:05:17,279
Speaker 1: little life story in them sometimes and sometimes you get

98
00:05:17,080 --> 00:05:19,800
Speaker 1: a little long winded, so you might fall asleep while

99
00:05:19,839 --> 00:05:24,440
Speaker 1: he's talking. Um. But great guy, full of knowledge, and

100
00:05:24,520 --> 00:05:27,000
Speaker 1: I mean just the places he places he's been, the

101
00:05:27,040 --> 00:05:29,280
Speaker 1: people that he knows, and the information that he can

102
00:05:29,360 --> 00:05:32,000
Speaker 1: pass out is very beneficial for all of us. And

103
00:05:32,440 --> 00:05:34,240
Speaker 1: I can't speak for Dame, but I know I've grown

104
00:05:34,360 --> 00:05:36,440
Speaker 1: as a players having him as a coach for this long.

105
00:05:36,800 --> 00:05:42,520
Speaker 1: What's your favorite coaches? What's your favorite? Saying that I

106
00:05:42,560 --> 00:05:50,240
Speaker 1: can't repeat it? Um, yeah. See, look, it's that bad

107
00:05:50,240 --> 00:05:52,320
Speaker 1: and it's that many of them. But like I said,

108
00:05:52,360 --> 00:05:55,320
Speaker 1: he's like a father, like a grandfather to figure to

109
00:05:55,400 --> 00:05:57,680
Speaker 1: all of us. And so you know, I love him

110
00:05:57,680 --> 00:05:59,920
Speaker 1: to death, but you know, some of the stuff he's

111
00:06:00,200 --> 00:06:02,320
Speaker 1: is it's kind of have you scratching your heads, like wow,

112
00:06:02,360 --> 00:06:05,000
Speaker 1: I never heard that combination of words putting us this before.

113
00:06:05,760 --> 00:06:08,400
Speaker 1: But I mean I love him and the energy he

114
00:06:08,560 --> 00:06:14,640
Speaker 1: brings to every practice, every meeting, every walkthrough, and then

115
00:06:14,720 --> 00:06:17,240
Speaker 1: just game day it is just like the most locked

116
00:06:17,279 --> 00:06:19,160
Speaker 1: in person, Like he's going out there and put on

117
00:06:19,240 --> 00:06:23,360
Speaker 1: his pants. So it's like I love, I have the

118
00:06:23,480 --> 00:06:25,000
Speaker 1: death and I mean just looking at him on a

119
00:06:25,040 --> 00:06:27,279
Speaker 1: game that gets me ready to get ready for a game.

120
00:06:27,360 --> 00:06:30,960
Speaker 1: So I missed him all of last year. I missed

121
00:06:31,000 --> 00:06:33,600
Speaker 1: messing with him all last year. The first thing I

122
00:06:33,640 --> 00:06:35,240
Speaker 1: did when I got back it is like took all

123
00:06:35,240 --> 00:06:37,000
Speaker 1: his clothes out of his locker. Just a mess woman.

124
00:06:37,080 --> 00:06:39,680
Speaker 1: But that's that's my guy, and my first thing I

125
00:06:39,720 --> 00:06:41,360
Speaker 1: did when I saw my game and big Ug I

126
00:06:41,400 --> 00:06:43,280
Speaker 1: told him, but I missed you. He said, I missed

127
00:06:43,320 --> 00:06:44,840
Speaker 1: you too, and I said, you know, I'm abody to

128
00:06:44,839 --> 00:06:46,480
Speaker 1: get on your nerves. This ship It's like I expect

129
00:06:46,560 --> 00:06:52,119
Speaker 1: that because we always have fun, especially in our running

130
00:06:52,120 --> 00:06:54,800
Speaker 1: back room, Damn Could said. James Could said. We all

131
00:06:54,839 --> 00:06:57,279
Speaker 1: came at different times, but one thing has always stayed

132
00:06:57,440 --> 00:06:59,880
Speaker 1: stayed for certain in our rooms, we're going to have fun,

133
00:07:00,040 --> 00:07:04,039
Speaker 1: whether if some offense, special teams, practice walk through meetings,

134
00:07:04,040 --> 00:07:06,440
Speaker 1: just us messing around in the locker room, we're going

135
00:07:06,480 --> 00:07:09,200
Speaker 1: to have fun. And Coach Ivan would tell anybody that's

136
00:07:09,200 --> 00:07:10,600
Speaker 1: what we do and that's what we come to do.

137
00:07:10,680 --> 00:07:12,440
Speaker 1: We're going to do our work, we also have some

138
00:07:12,480 --> 00:07:15,920
Speaker 1: fun doing it too. Thank you, friend, appreciate
