WEBVTT - Inside Training Camp: Kelly On Roster Depth 0:00:27.640 --> 0:00:31.520 Zippany Dude, zippany A. We're one day closer to playing 0:00:31.560 --> 0:00:35.760 Green Bay. Hello, everyone welcomed inside training camps preserved by Xfinity. 0:00:35.840 --> 0:00:38.920 Dave Spedero and Chris McPherson. Yeah, okay, the training camp 0:00:39.000 --> 0:00:40.760 is getting to us just a little bit here. We're 0:00:40.760 --> 0:00:43.559 having some fun preseason game number three on Saturday, and 0:00:43.560 --> 0:00:47.400 we learn on Thursday that rain in the forecast could 0:00:47.560 --> 0:00:50.440 impact how much the starters play. Say it ain't so, David, 0:00:50.440 --> 0:00:53.280 it would be so disappointing it For whatever reason, Sam 0:00:53.320 --> 0:00:55.960 Bradford or any of the other starters are not able 0:00:56.000 --> 0:00:57.800 to go out there. While I still would think you'll 0:00:57.840 --> 0:01:00.760 see them to a certain extent. Chip Kelly not making 0:01:00.760 --> 0:01:03.720 any promises, saying that weather is very much a variable 0:01:04.000 --> 0:01:06.360 in terms of how much you'll see the starters this 0:01:06.560 --> 0:01:08.840 aut against the Packers. Yeah, so it's you're gonna be 0:01:08.920 --> 0:01:12.039 a lot of fun regardless jobs on the line. Reminder, 0:01:12.080 --> 0:01:16.440 the rosters go from ninety players to seventy five prior 0:01:16.480 --> 0:01:20.039 to Tuesday at four pm. In the NFL. Eagles, of course, 0:01:20.080 --> 0:01:22.679 have the right to make those cuts before Tuesday, so 0:01:22.720 --> 0:01:24.600 we'll find out all of that. A lot to get 0:01:24.640 --> 0:01:28.120 to today, including a visit from Michael Kendricks in studio 0:01:28.160 --> 0:01:30.959 in a little football one oh one with Ross Tucker. 0:01:31.000 --> 0:01:34.240 But first Alex Smith gets your KNA with everything happening 0:01:34.240 --> 0:01:37.360 on this football team. It's our Eagles three sixty update. 0:01:37.959 --> 0:01:40.480 Hi everyone, Alex Smith here with your three sixty update, 0:01:40.520 --> 0:01:43.560 presented by Sports Authority. The Eagles had a much lighter 0:01:43.600 --> 0:01:46.360 walk through practice here today at the Novicare Complex as 0:01:46.360 --> 0:01:49.440 they prepared to hit the road for Green Bay tomorrow. Today, 0:01:49.440 --> 0:01:51.640 head coach Chip Kelly kick things off by talking about 0:01:51.640 --> 0:01:54.560 the new contract extension from Michael Kendricks, a player that 0:01:54.600 --> 0:01:58.240 he calls a prototype for this Eagle system. He's right 0:01:58.240 --> 0:02:00.480 at six foot, he's the same heights as the bowman 0:02:00.520 --> 0:02:02.240 and a lot of the really good inside linebackers in 0:02:02.240 --> 0:02:04.760 this league. So when I made a statement two years 0:02:04.760 --> 0:02:06.840 ago of big people meet up little people, that doesn't 0:02:06.840 --> 0:02:10.040 mean that I want six to eleven inside linebackers. Michael 0:02:10.080 --> 0:02:13.080 fits into all our parameters from a heightweight, speed standpoint. 0:02:13.120 --> 0:02:14.680 In terms of what we're looking for. He's actually kind 0:02:14.720 --> 0:02:16.880 of a prototypical guy that we're looking for. So his 0:02:17.360 --> 0:02:19.760 physical attributes lend him to be a three down linebacker, 0:02:19.800 --> 0:02:23.200 which everybody's looking for. And it doesn't matter what defensive 0:02:23.280 --> 0:02:25.600 system you're in. I think people you value those guys, 0:02:25.600 --> 0:02:29.480 the guys that can run and then physically be able 0:02:29.520 --> 0:02:31.200 to run with tight ends and running backs, but also 0:02:31.280 --> 0:02:33.680 be big enough and strong enough to take on offensive lineman. 0:02:33.720 --> 0:02:35.480 And Michael can do all those things, and that's why 0:02:35.480 --> 0:02:39.400 we extended heading into the third preseason game, the first 0:02:39.480 --> 0:02:42.800 roster cutdown date looms on Tuesday, and according to Kelly, 0:02:42.840 --> 0:02:44.800 this will be the hardest decision that he's had to 0:02:44.840 --> 0:02:48.160 face yet because of this team's depth. It is. I 0:02:48.200 --> 0:02:52.000 think we have more depth, so I believe we'll cut 0:02:52.040 --> 0:02:55.080 some players that will make other rosters. So you know, 0:02:55.200 --> 0:02:57.239 I'm hoping. You know, that's our goal for all of 0:02:57.240 --> 0:02:58.640 our players, and we tell that on day one. I 0:02:58.680 --> 0:03:01.280 want them to play in the NFL. Hopefully it's on 0:03:01.320 --> 0:03:02.720 our team. If it's on on our team, it's on 0:03:02.760 --> 0:03:06.359 another team. So but it is going to be difficult, 0:03:06.400 --> 0:03:09.120 and you know, we'll we'll have to sit down long 0:03:09.160 --> 0:03:13.079 and hard after this Packer game and kind of it 0:03:13.200 --> 0:03:15.320 when it's difficult to get to seventy five. I think 0:03:15.360 --> 0:03:17.239 from a coaching standpoint, that's a good thing, but there's 0:03:17.240 --> 0:03:20.040 still a human factor that gets involved with cutting somebody 0:03:20.040 --> 0:03:22.560 and that that parks not a lot of fun. After practice, 0:03:22.600 --> 0:03:24.920 we caught up with quarterback Sam Bradford as he prepares 0:03:24.919 --> 0:03:27.680 for his second game in an Eagle's uniform, and according 0:03:27.680 --> 0:03:29.919 to the quarterback, he says that last week's game against 0:03:29.919 --> 0:03:32.359 the Ravens prepared him for being able to get hit 0:03:32.600 --> 0:03:36.080 and bounce right back up. Yeah. Yeah, I think it 0:03:36.120 --> 0:03:37.520 was nice to get out there, you know, take a 0:03:37.560 --> 0:03:39.920 few shots to get back up, know that my body 0:03:39.920 --> 0:03:42.600 can still do it and still take those hits. You know. 0:03:42.640 --> 0:03:44.480 I think it was kind of that last box that 0:03:44.560 --> 0:03:47.040 needed to be checked off. So I did feel good 0:03:47.120 --> 0:03:50.600 knowing that. Catching up with the Eagles defense, linebacker Kiko 0:03:50.640 --> 0:03:52.720 Alonzo said earlier this week that his goal was to 0:03:52.800 --> 0:03:55.680 play on Saturday night, and today he spoke about feeling 0:03:55.680 --> 0:03:59.400 comfortable in this Eagles defense. Very comfortable, and you know 0:03:59.520 --> 0:04:02.800 it's when I keep facting more, I'm playing more. I'm 0:04:02.800 --> 0:04:04.960 sink you gave even more. I feel I kind of 0:04:05.160 --> 0:04:07.800 playing man. I feel like I'm smarter. You know, I've 0:04:07.840 --> 0:04:14.440 been through more. You know, we'll see, we'll see. Moving 0:04:14.480 --> 0:04:17.960 into the Eagles secondary today was cornerback Nolan Carroll, who 0:04:18.000 --> 0:04:20.480 spoke about entering twenty fifteen with a chip on his 0:04:20.560 --> 0:04:24.160 shoulder as he looks to secure a starting spot. Kind 0:04:24.160 --> 0:04:26.160 of just playing with the chilling on my shoulder. Man, No, 0:04:27.000 --> 0:04:29.440 Lancie didn't really go the way I expected to Zoo 0:04:29.560 --> 0:04:32.360 when I signed him, you know, So this past offseason 0:04:32.520 --> 0:04:35.680 is just all about just working just working hard, and 0:04:35.760 --> 0:04:38.480 that's in my whole mindset this whole time since I've 0:04:38.520 --> 0:04:41.080 been back up here. Be sure to get caught up 0:04:41.080 --> 0:04:43.440 on all of the latest Eagles news heading into Saturday 0:04:43.520 --> 0:04:46.520 Nights third preseason game against the Green Bay Packers.

Welcome back, 0:07:03.640 --> 0:07:06.360 It's inside Training Camp presented by Xfinity. Dave and Chris. 0:07:06.480 --> 0:07:09.120 Time to talk a little bit about the players that 0:07:09.240 --> 0:07:12.560 we're watching on Saturday, Eagles Packers. Let's begin. Chris at 0:07:12.640 --> 0:07:17.240 the qual toback position number seven. His second performance for 0:07:17.320 --> 0:07:20.280 an Eagles team in this preseason. Yes, indeed, Sam Bradford 0:07:20.480 --> 0:07:23.240 was very impressive in his debut, first action in almost 0:07:23.280 --> 0:07:25.320 a calendar gear. Now. He wants him to be a 0:07:25.400 --> 0:07:27.440 little bit more accurate with the football. He was a 0:07:27.480 --> 0:07:30.160 little choosed up, a little amped up for that first outing. 0:07:30.400 --> 0:07:33.240 You want to see some consistency and also just some 0:07:33.360 --> 0:07:36.680 quick decision making. Just run the offense efficiently. And the 0:07:36.720 --> 0:07:38.720 biggest thing for me is if he doesn't have a 0:07:38.800 --> 0:07:41.640 touchdown drive, how does he respond had the great touchdown 0:07:41.720 --> 0:07:44.360 drive last week against the Ravens. If there's a little 0:07:44.400 --> 0:07:47.400 bit of you know, of a stepback, how does he resive? Yeah? 0:07:47.400 --> 0:07:48.680 I think you know. I think the next step for 0:07:48.760 --> 0:07:51.680 Bradford is when the pocket is dirty, when he has 0:07:51.760 --> 0:07:54.280 some people around him, some defenders at his feet, how 0:07:54.360 --> 0:07:57.520 does he respond footwork, throwing through the ball, getting through 0:07:57.560 --> 0:08:00.160 his legs and being accurate gave the football? I think 0:08:00.160 --> 0:08:02.240 he said pretty well there. My second player is Josh 0:08:02.280 --> 0:08:05.840 Shuff wide receiver. Josh Shuff has been quiet in the preseason. 0:08:06.160 --> 0:08:09.080 He's been spectacular in the training sessions at the public 0:08:09.160 --> 0:08:11.960 practices at Lincoln Financial Field, but would like to see 0:08:12.040 --> 0:08:14.760 him get a couple of touches in this game. Back 0:08:14.920 --> 0:08:19.000 from missing a few days with personal reasons, he's at practice. 0:08:19.080 --> 0:08:21.520 He's ready to go and just to get the ball 0:08:21.560 --> 0:08:23.480 in his hands to get him going back in the flow, 0:08:23.680 --> 0:08:25.280 get the momentum going in the right way. I think 0:08:25.280 --> 0:08:26.920 that's a big thing for him. I agree Dave to me, 0:08:27.080 --> 0:08:29.120 Josh Huff, I think is gonna be a vital component 0:08:29.200 --> 0:08:31.960 to this wide receiver rotation this season. Everyone's all about 0:08:32.280 --> 0:08:35.160 Nelson Aghalore and how he's progressing as a first role pick. 0:08:35.360 --> 0:08:38.600 Jordan Matthew's obviously been brilliant since the start of training camp. 0:08:38.679 --> 0:08:40.960 But to me, I think Josh Shuff is still going 0:08:41.000 --> 0:08:43.000 to be a vital role, play a vital role here 0:08:43.160 --> 0:08:45.719 and have a huge impact on the offense this season. Now, 0:08:45.840 --> 0:08:47.920 why don't we go to the defensive side of the football. 0:08:48.280 --> 0:08:51.680 That slot quarterback, That nickel spot still yet to be determined. 0:08:51.880 --> 0:08:54.120 I think there's a second round pick, Eric Rowe, who 0:08:54.520 --> 0:08:56.920 maybe could make some way. Yeah, I'm not sure what 0:08:57.000 --> 0:08:59.559 the plan is here at nickel for this game, this 0:08:59.640 --> 0:09:02.400 slot cornerback position. I think the Eagles still want to 0:09:02.480 --> 0:09:04.880 look at a lot of players, including Nolan Carroll at 0:09:04.920 --> 0:09:07.560 the slot position. Maybe Eric Rowe plays a little bit 0:09:07.600 --> 0:09:10.079 outside this week, but I think they're pleased with the 0:09:10.200 --> 0:09:13.280 way Row has come along. Certainly, somebody who you wish 0:09:13.360 --> 0:09:16.200 you could plane up against Randall Cobb for seventeen eighteen 0:09:16.240 --> 0:09:18.240 plays and see how he does. I'm not sure how 0:09:18.280 --> 0:09:21.679 much Cobb would play. Great matchup possibilities and an opportunity 0:09:21.800 --> 0:09:24.760 for the young man Eric Roe to take his next step. 0:09:24.840 --> 0:09:27.319 He's played well. He's a little physical, he grabs a 0:09:27.360 --> 0:09:29.800 little bit here and there, but you like the advancements 0:09:29.840 --> 0:09:33.760 that he's made, like the aggressive this. He's a big cornerback. 0:09:33.840 --> 0:09:36.400 He's gonna play a physical game in this game. If 0:09:36.440 --> 0:09:38.640 he plays in the slot against Cobb, He's going against 0:09:38.679 --> 0:09:41.559 one of the best. Who's quick, who's fast, who's small. 0:09:41.800 --> 0:09:44.080 That's a tough matchup, yes, indeed, But for a row 0:09:44.160 --> 0:09:46.000 it's been good that has been going against Jordan Matthews, 0:09:46.080 --> 0:09:48.240 who obviously has a size but does have some very 0:09:48.320 --> 0:09:50.599 quick being can make some moves inside. I'll stick with 0:09:50.720 --> 0:09:53.640 defense here. Outside linebacker. Who is going to be the 0:09:53.760 --> 0:09:55.720 number three guy. I don't think you have to really 0:09:55.760 --> 0:09:57.959 focus so much on the number three guy. Look as 0:09:58.000 --> 0:10:00.880 a committee with Benny Curry as a part of it now. 0:10:01.000 --> 0:10:03.600 Obviously he plays defensive end. He can move inside if 0:10:03.679 --> 0:10:06.600 need be, but he has had an outside linebacker role 0:10:06.720 --> 0:10:10.200 expanded here during training camp, he's been showing the ability 0:10:10.280 --> 0:10:12.440 to obviously come off the edge, but he's learning how 0:10:12.480 --> 0:10:15.320 to drop back in coverage as well. So Vinny Curry 0:10:15.480 --> 0:10:17.000 is another guy that I'm gonna watch and see how 0:10:17.040 --> 0:10:19.640 he makes that next step as an outside linebacker. Truth is, 0:10:19.679 --> 0:10:22.080 we're gonna watch everybody. We just threw a few names 0:10:22.120 --> 0:10:24.800 out there, just some highlighted names that we're gonna pay 0:10:24.840 --> 0:10:27.160 special attention to on Saturday Night. Critical game for the 0:10:27.240 --> 0:10:29.880 Eagles as they get ready to go from ninety players 0:10:30.120 --> 0:10:34.360 to seventy five within a week's time, So very important 0:10:34.400 --> 0:10:36.520 game for a lot of players on this roster. It's 0:10:36.559 --> 0:10:40.040 inside training Camp presented by Exfinity. When we return, we'll 0:10:40.160 --> 0:10:43.000 visit with Michael Kendricks, he of the new contract and 0:10:43.240 --> 0:10:50.240 the big game. Michael Kendricks in studio up next.

Congratulations on the deal. 0:12:36.720 --> 0:12:39.080 Thank you. Let's talk about football, shall we? Yeah, how's 0:12:39.080 --> 0:12:41.640 it coming along? It's awesome? Yeah, Yeah. I want to 0:12:41.640 --> 0:12:43.600 talk about Michael Kendricks. From the time you were drafted 0:12:43.640 --> 0:12:45.599 to now, so many things that have happened, you know, 0:12:45.800 --> 0:12:49.240 changing positions, and it's been a great deal of maturity 0:12:49.320 --> 0:12:52.640 that you have to have, learning adjusting to new coaching. 0:12:52.960 --> 0:12:54.400 As you look at it, Michael, what's been the key 0:12:54.440 --> 0:12:57.040 to your success? I think the key to my success 0:12:57.160 --> 0:13:01.000 is just you know, sticking in there, reaching out to 0:13:01.040 --> 0:13:04.199 those who have been through it and UH and and 0:13:04.360 --> 0:13:07.040 finding comfort through them and UH and their advice and 0:13:07.320 --> 0:13:10.880 and just sticking through things. You know, this game is crazy, 0:13:10.960 --> 0:13:14.679 along with the business side of things. And and it 0:13:14.800 --> 0:13:17.520 does take a level of maturity to handle everything that 0:13:17.640 --> 0:13:22.760 comes with being an NFL superstar. Here we go for ye, 0:13:23.360 --> 0:13:26.319 for those on the outside or those who were you know, 0:13:26.480 --> 0:13:28.880 those kids who were coming up through the college ranks 0:13:28.920 --> 0:13:32.520 who aspire to be an NFL player. I mean, how 0:13:32.600 --> 0:13:34.400 much different is it from what you thought it was 0:13:34.480 --> 0:13:39.320 to what it really is? Um, the game it's the same. 0:13:39.679 --> 0:13:43.920 The business side of things, it changes, and nonetheless it's 0:13:43.960 --> 0:13:46.000 still a game that we all love to play. Um. 0:13:46.760 --> 0:13:49.360 You know, growing up, I had to dreams of being 0:13:49.720 --> 0:13:52.520 where I'm at now. And now I'm here, and now 0:13:52.600 --> 0:13:54.719 I wish I was back there. As a kid, you know, 0:13:54.840 --> 0:13:57.280 you have so much more responsibilities as as as a 0:13:57.360 --> 0:13:59.560 grown man. You gotta take the good with the bad 0:13:59.640 --> 0:14:04.079 bad good, And yeah, what are the responsibility? It is 0:14:04.160 --> 0:14:08.359 money responsibility, Oh definitely, Um. Money is a huge responsibility. 0:14:08.720 --> 0:14:13.880 Keeping track of that, managing your own accounts and staying 0:14:13.880 --> 0:14:17.520 on top of that and understanding spending and what needs 0:14:17.600 --> 0:14:19.640 to happen as far as you know your interest rates, 0:14:19.680 --> 0:14:21.360 what are you getting on your returns. There's a bunch 0:14:21.400 --> 0:14:24.880 of stuff that you need to know when it comes 0:14:24.960 --> 0:14:29.800 to financials. And for a young guy, coming into the 0:14:29.880 --> 0:14:35.680 league getting thrown a million dollars. Growing up, you think 0:14:35.720 --> 0:14:38.600 a million is everything. You get a million and you 0:14:38.760 --> 0:14:42.400 understand that it's it can go like that, and there 0:14:42.440 --> 0:14:45.000 are certain things you have to do to offset your spending, 0:14:46.080 --> 0:14:50.880 and that all takes maturity, that takes time, that takes effort, 0:14:50.920 --> 0:14:53.760 like anything else that you do. You know, I put 0:14:53.880 --> 0:14:58.000 time into reading financial books is and just like I 0:14:58.120 --> 0:15:01.000 read my playbook. So there's a lot of things that 0:15:01.160 --> 0:15:02.920 you have to do off the field. Your brother was 0:15:03.000 --> 0:15:06.360 drafted by the Vikings this past spring. Did you give 0:15:06.480 --> 0:15:09.040 him all these kind of advice lady ground work for Yeah, 0:15:09.080 --> 0:15:11.920 I mean anything I've already been through. I'm going to 0:15:12.000 --> 0:15:14.720 make sure he at least knows. I'm not too sure 0:15:14.760 --> 0:15:16.120 how he's going to handle it when he gets to 0:15:16.200 --> 0:15:19.400 that point, but he'll go through the same exact things 0:15:19.440 --> 0:15:23.160 that I've been through, and the way he handles it 0:15:23.280 --> 0:15:24.480 is going to be the way he handles it. But 0:15:24.560 --> 0:15:26.440 all I can do is just tell him, Hey, this 0:15:26.600 --> 0:15:30.160 is what I did, this is what's coming, and expect 0:15:30.240 --> 0:15:32.760 it and be ready. Yeah. Do you have brotherly conversations 0:15:32.840 --> 0:15:35.160 during the course of the summer during training camp? Yeah, 0:15:36.480 --> 0:15:39.880 he was. He was like, man, it's it's hard out here. 0:15:39.960 --> 0:15:42.520 What do I do? I'm just like, man, just be yourself, 0:15:42.680 --> 0:15:45.720 Just do your thing, work on one craft a day 0:15:46.160 --> 0:15:48.160 and just focus on that and trying to get better 0:15:48.240 --> 0:15:50.120 on that. Once you had that down, move on to 0:15:50.200 --> 0:15:52.760 the next. So I mean there's little there's little brotherly 0:15:52.840 --> 0:15:55.440 conversations like that throughout throughout training camp. As you look 0:15:55.440 --> 0:15:58.120 back on it, Michael, going from outside linebacker into four 0:15:58.280 --> 0:16:00.640 three two inside linebacker in a three four and you 0:16:00.680 --> 0:16:02.720 could admit it now because you've you've mastered it. You know, 0:16:03.240 --> 0:16:06.040 were you concerned that you might not become the best 0:16:06.080 --> 0:16:09.480 player you could be moving inside? Um? No, I actually 0:16:10.240 --> 0:16:13.640 I was excited about that. When I was playing um 0:16:14.320 --> 0:16:17.720 in the first defense my first training camp, it was 0:16:17.880 --> 0:16:20.720 so hard. I mean we were in a wide nine. 0:16:21.400 --> 0:16:24.960 We had lineman shooting up field three steps up field 0:16:25.080 --> 0:16:28.720 first before making any reads. And there were times where 0:16:28.720 --> 0:16:30.640 I would get a tackle and a tight end on me, 0:16:30.760 --> 0:16:33.160 double teaming me, and I was responsible for the A 0:16:33.480 --> 0:16:37.160 to D gap. That's that's like you have to literally 0:16:37.240 --> 0:16:41.320 have an ass on your chest and yeah I didn't, 0:16:41.400 --> 0:16:45.800 and then and then well that's not the problem. It's 0:16:45.880 --> 0:16:48.560 being able to it's being able to get off a 0:16:48.600 --> 0:16:53.040 double team and covering a to D gap. Needless to say, 0:16:53.160 --> 0:16:55.600 it was very hard, and I questioned my ability at 0:16:55.640 --> 0:16:58.120 one point in time. You know, I called my coach 0:16:58.680 --> 0:17:01.960 back at Cal, my position coach, and he just told me, 0:17:02.280 --> 0:17:04.560 it's the NFL. What do you what do you expect? 0:17:05.160 --> 0:17:07.760 You know, just just stick in there and and just 0:17:08.080 --> 0:17:10.800 keep keep grinding, keep working, and you'll get the hang 0:17:10.840 --> 0:17:13.400 of it. And uh, sure enough, my second year round, 0:17:13.440 --> 0:17:16.520 we've changed defenses, and UM I was I was a 0:17:16.600 --> 0:17:19.399 lot better off. What's next for you as a football player? 0:17:19.800 --> 0:17:21.200 Where do you go from here? I mean, are you? 0:17:21.680 --> 0:17:23.960 I think? You said? I think from here? You set 0:17:24.000 --> 0:17:25.639 a goal and you reach and you and you strive 0:17:25.720 --> 0:17:28.200 to reach that goal. And right now, my goal is 0:17:28.280 --> 0:17:31.720 to one win a Super Bowl. Two to become the 0:17:31.800 --> 0:17:34.920 best leader I can become. Three to become the best 0:17:35.000 --> 0:17:39.000 inside a rushing linebacker in the league. UH. Four to 0:17:40.200 --> 0:17:42.960 bring along those players that want to be great with me, 0:17:43.680 --> 0:17:46.800 and UH if I can focus on those things, I 0:17:46.920 --> 0:17:49.840 think that would be good inside rushing linebacker. You've mentioned 0:17:49.880 --> 0:17:52.400 that a couple of times. Might we see Michael Kendricks 0:17:53.119 --> 0:17:55.320 get up the field on a pass rush design pass 0:17:55.359 --> 0:17:57.760 rush a little bit more than it happened a few years, 0:17:58.000 --> 0:18:00.959 you know, I mean maybe maybe maybe not. I mean, 0:18:01.000 --> 0:18:03.160 it's all within game plan and what these coaches want 0:18:03.200 --> 0:18:04.720 to do. But I know that if I do get 0:18:04.840 --> 0:18:07.000 my name called, I'm gonna make the most of it. 0:18:07.359 --> 0:18:10.560 And I want to do a better job of understanding, 0:18:10.720 --> 0:18:13.040 like what's going on in front of me, so I 0:18:13.119 --> 0:18:16.080 can actually see it happen before the balls even snapped. 0:18:16.440 --> 0:18:19.000 And you know, you'll hear players harp about that all 0:18:19.040 --> 0:18:21.280 the time. Knowing what's going on before the ball snap. 0:18:21.720 --> 0:18:23.480 Once you get that down, you're able to play at 0:18:23.520 --> 0:18:26.520 a whole nother speed. And I'm pretty fast as it is, 0:18:26.600 --> 0:18:30.080 So that's that's even Yeah, that's even better. Don't don't 0:18:30.119 --> 0:18:31.560 get mad when I ask you this, But I want 0:18:31.600 --> 0:18:32.639 to ask you this because I know it will give 0:18:32.640 --> 0:18:35.359 me an honest answer. Last question, Ye, will money make 0:18:35.400 --> 0:18:38.920 you soft? Hell? No? Am I allowed to say that? Yes, 0:18:39.000 --> 0:18:45.119 you just said it. Hunt Now that you've got some security, hunger, 0:18:45.200 --> 0:18:47.680 where's the hunger? Money? I don't the thing it. I 0:18:47.720 --> 0:18:51.800 don't know, like what will money do to me? Money 0:18:51.840 --> 0:18:56.320 will help my family out, and but I'm not doing 0:18:56.440 --> 0:19:00.359 this for the money. No, I never once started playing 0:19:00.359 --> 0:19:03.520 football for money. I just love this game. I'd probably 0:19:03.560 --> 0:19:05.520 do it for free. Don't tell anyone else that you 0:19:05.560 --> 0:19:07.320 already find a contract you You can say it all 0:19:07.320 --> 0:19:10.040 you want now, doesn't matter. But what I'm trying to 0:19:10.080 --> 0:19:12.840 say is due. This game is a brutal game. This 0:19:13.040 --> 0:19:15.800 game is it's a twelve hour job. It's a twelve 0:19:15.840 --> 0:19:18.000 hour a day type of job where you come in, 0:19:18.160 --> 0:19:20.520 you put in your work seven days a week.
