Uh, how is 191 00:06:52,279 --> 00:06:54,880 Speaker 1: the conversation headed into this season and that chemistry. 192 00:06:54,960 --> 00:06:57,160 Speaker 2: That's the biggest thing that I think myself I had 193 00:06:57,160 --> 00:07:00,560 Speaker 2: to work on last year. I didn't didn't spend a 194 00:07:00,600 --> 00:07:02,840 Speaker 2: lot of time as far as reps with him, you know, 195 00:07:03,000 --> 00:07:04,719 Speaker 2: s I started with the threes when I got here, 196 00:07:04,800 --> 00:07:06,800 Speaker 2: so uh, you know, kind of got reps just a 197 00:07:06,800 --> 00:07:08,880 Speaker 2: little bit in training camp, then the season here, then 198 00:07:08,920 --> 00:07:11,200 Speaker 2: he gets hurt, so we really we really never had 199 00:07:11,240 --> 00:07:13,200 Speaker 2: that time to you know, really learn each other. 200 00:07:13,880 --> 00:07:15,840 Speaker 1: And I think this off season is the biggest. 201 00:07:15,480 --> 00:07:16,760 Speaker 2: Thing I've been with him, you know, when he was 202 00:07:16,800 --> 00:07:19,480 Speaker 2: doing his rehab, staying up here with him, learning how 203 00:07:19,520 --> 00:07:21,280 Speaker 2: he sees the how he sees the game, what he 204 00:07:21,280 --> 00:07:22,520 Speaker 2: sees on the field, and you know. 205 00:07:22,560 --> 00:07:24,560 Speaker 1: Tryna come out here and execute it.
