00:07:13,760 --> 00:07:18,440
Speaker 9: to do it. So getting guidance and getting his knowledge

162
00:07:18,440 --> 00:07:21,640
Speaker 9: of everything, it is almost like a cheat code. So

163
00:07:22,280 --> 00:07:24,240
Speaker 9: I'm just thankful that he was able to be there

164
00:07:24,280 --> 00:07:26,000
Speaker 9: for me, and he's able to be there for each

165
00:07:26,040 --> 00:07:29,960
Speaker 9: and every player that uh that's at the program, and

166
00:07:29,960 --> 00:07:32,120
Speaker 9: that he's able to support, you know, and that's able

167
00:07:32,160 --> 00:07:32,520
Speaker 9: to touch.

168
00:07:32,880 --> 00:07:34,720
Speaker 8: What are teams.

169
00:07:34,560 --> 00:07:36,680
Speaker 6: Asking you here in the world, what do you want

170
00:07:36,720 --> 00:07:37,240
Speaker 6: to kind of.

171
00:07:37,160 --> 00:07:38,040
Speaker 8: Get a call for them?

172
00:07:38,400 --> 00:07:41,040
Speaker 10: Yeah, I mean that's that's between me and the team. Yeah,

173
00:07:41,520 --> 00:07:45,720
Speaker 10: I don't really share. Yeah, all conversation has been positive.

174
00:07:45,760 --> 00:07:48,920
Speaker 9: Everything been good. They're surprised, you know, I finally able

175
00:07:48,920 --> 00:07:51,840
Speaker 9: to meet me. It's not what the media portrays it

176
00:07:51,920 --> 00:07:53,520
Speaker 9: to be. You know, I'm a smiling guy and I'm

177
00:07:53,560 --> 00:07:57,800
Speaker 9: always happy. I don't know, you know, it's a lot

178
00:07:57,840 --> 00:08:00,560
Speaker 9: of negativity out there, and the best thing that gets

179
00:08:00,560 --> 00:08:04,600
Speaker 9: clicks is negativity. So we just know everything we do

180
00:08:04,640 --> 00:08:09,560
Speaker 9: as positive and we do everything on a positive note.

181
00:08:09,880 --> 00:08:10,600
Speaker 1: In your hotel.

182
00:08:10,640 --> 00:08:14,360
Speaker 9: And now it's truly amazing coming back home having this

183
00:08:14,440 --> 00:08:17,520
Speaker 9: type of experience, learning more about the Shriners and.

184
00:08:17,480 --> 00:08:20,800
Speaker 10: The children and everything. It was true, truly eye opening.

185
00:08:21,080 --> 00:08:23,000
Speaker 9: I heard about the game multiple times, and I had

186
00:08:23,120 --> 00:08:26,000
Speaker 9: some players, even as Jackson Steak come playing the game.

187
00:08:26,080 --> 00:08:28,200
Speaker 9: But I'm just thankful I was able to see it

188
00:08:28,280 --> 00:08:31,160
Speaker 9: myself and thankful that a lot of these coaches came

189
00:08:31,200 --> 00:08:34,200
Speaker 9: out here to uh see me and meet with me also,

190
00:08:34,280 --> 00:08:36,480
Speaker 9: so then it brings more attention to other players and

191
00:08:36,520 --> 00:08:38,560
Speaker 9: my other teammates in the situation and.

192
00:08:40,440 --> 00:08:41,040
Speaker 14: Competitors.

193
00:08:41,480 --> 00:08:46,959
Speaker 9: Yet, yeah, yeah, it was definitely it was definitely tough

194
00:08:48,200 --> 00:08:50,840
Speaker 9: not being out there, But I came here for a purpose,

195
00:08:50,880 --> 00:08:52,360
Speaker 9: for a reason, to meet with the team so they

196
00:08:52,400 --> 00:08:53,800
Speaker 9: can understand me and get to know me.

197
00:08:54,160 --> 00:08:56,319
Speaker 13: What do you think is the most important at me

198
00:08:56,559 --> 00:08:57,960
Speaker 13: and working into the NFL.

199
00:08:58,080 --> 00:09:00,199
Speaker 6: That's the most super important athlete.

200
00:09:01,880 --> 00:09:02,360
Speaker 8: Quarterback.

201
00:09:02,760 --> 00:09:07,640
Speaker 9: Decision decision making. That's the biggest and best thing you

202
00:09:07,640 --> 00:09:09,960
Speaker 9: can do as a quarterback. That's what my skill set

203
00:09:10,040 --> 00:09:13,040
Speaker 9: is is decision making. So I don't ever let anything

204
00:09:13,120 --> 00:09:15,440
Speaker 9: alter my mind or let anything get in the way

205
00:09:15,480 --> 00:09:18,400
Speaker 9: of me not being in my right mind. So this

206
00:09:18,559 --> 00:09:21,120
Speaker 9: decision making as a quarterback position for my skill set,

207
00:09:21,360 --> 00:09:23,200
Speaker 9: what I like to do, sit in the pocket, and thought,

208
00:09:23,679 --> 00:09:29,920
Speaker 9: that's the best attribute.

209
00:09:27,640 --> 00:09:30,800
Speaker 7: That can afford you pressed competitions.

210
00:09:30,840 --> 00:09:34,320
Speaker 5: Ever, you're talking about how your dad yet same up

211
00:09:34,360 --> 00:09:38,960
Speaker 5: with the trust, Yeah, I guess how much gratitude?

212
00:09:39,280 --> 00:09:43,199
Speaker 9: Yeah that and just making you Yeah, so dad, we

213
00:09:43,320 --> 00:09:46,120
Speaker 9: grew up different. We always had nice houses and everything,

214
00:09:46,200 --> 00:09:48,400
Speaker 9: but we live. We grew up I'll say to like

215
00:09:48,520 --> 00:09:51,800
Speaker 9: ten years old, ten minutes from here and prosper. Then

216
00:09:51,880 --> 00:09:53,679
Speaker 9: he moved across town to see their hill and he

217
00:09:53,760 --> 00:09:55,920
Speaker 9: put us in the school in the inner city. So

218
00:09:56,080 --> 00:09:58,120
Speaker 9: that's when we that's when we got a different type

219
00:09:58,160 --> 00:10:01,000
Speaker 9: of attitude and different type of grit to us because

220
00:10:01,000 --> 00:10:04,080
Speaker 9: he made sure he understands we have a nice house,

221
00:10:04,120 --> 00:10:06,319
Speaker 9: but this is all my stuff, this isn't your stuff.

222
00:10:06,840 --> 00:10:10,319
Speaker 9: So then we inherited that mindset. So us going to

223
00:10:11,040 --> 00:10:13,720
Speaker 9: in any situation. We're comfortable wherever we're at.

224
00:10:18,559 --> 00:10:28,400
Speaker 16: We have just to cover Jason State numbers, Jason State.

225
00:10:31,120 --> 00:10:34,040
Speaker 16: So how do you feel what type of putting up.

226
00:10:33,920 --> 00:10:34,520
Speaker 7: In the NFL.

227
00:10:35,480 --> 00:10:37,760
Speaker 9: I'll be very exciting. I know we're gonna put up

228
00:10:37,800 --> 00:10:39,920
Speaker 9: a lot of wins. That's the biggest thing is it's

229
00:10:39,960 --> 00:10:42,400
Speaker 9: not the status, not anything else. It's the wins that matter.

230
00:10:42,840 --> 00:10:46,400
Speaker 9: I experienced that, you know myself my junior year being

231
00:10:46,520 --> 00:10:51,640
Speaker 9: in Colorado, that status numbers don't really matter. We just

232
00:10:51,720 --> 00:10:54,200
Speaker 9: got to make sure we always get completion and take

233
00:10:54,360 --> 00:10:56,959
Speaker 9: less sacs and win a lot of games. So that's

234
00:10:57,000 --> 00:10:59,160
Speaker 9: what's important to me. We always been winners from the

235
00:10:59,320 --> 00:11:02,360
Speaker 9: very beginning of our career. If you go back and

236
00:11:02,440 --> 00:11:05,720
Speaker 9: look at history on four state championships, then we went

237
00:11:05,760 --> 00:11:09,000
Speaker 9: to Jackson, went two championships, and we came here and

238
00:11:09,200 --> 00:11:12,440
Speaker 9: we changed the program out of Power five. So everything

239
00:11:12,520 --> 00:11:14,679
Speaker 9: that we try to do, we did it. Everything we

240
00:11:14,760 --> 00:11:16,920
Speaker 9: put our mind to, we doing it. So I'm just

241
00:11:17,040 --> 00:11:20,800
Speaker 9: excited to finish and do everything I gotta do at

242
00:11:20,800 --> 00:11:22,480
Speaker 9: the next level and lead a franchise.

243
00:11:24,760 --> 00:11:26,439
Speaker 7: It's his own man. But was there a part of

244
00:11:26,520 --> 00:11:28,640
Speaker 7: you that wanted your dad to be the head arch

245
00:11:28,679 --> 00:11:29,120
Speaker 7: of Dallas.

246
00:11:30,160 --> 00:11:30,599
Speaker 10: No, I'm not.

247
00:11:30,679 --> 00:11:32,800
Speaker 9: I'm concerned on what I got going on right now

248
00:11:33,160 --> 00:11:35,480
Speaker 9: is there and I'm just focused on the future and

249
00:11:36,040 --> 00:11:38,880
Speaker 9: what and what I'm able to do and what I'm

250
00:11:38,960 --> 00:11:41,160
Speaker 9: capable of doing. So i just know I'm gonna change

251
00:11:41,200 --> 00:11:43,839
Speaker 9: the franchise and be happy to be the leader of

252
00:11:43,880 --> 00:11:44,200
Speaker 9: a team.

253
00:11:47,480 --> 00:11:49,440
Speaker 10: Last question, shut again, where's the question?

254
00:11:49,559 --> 00:11:53,079
Speaker 7: Like, Yeah, legendary is kind of a big thing for Houston.

255
00:11:52,840 --> 00:11:57,400
Speaker 10: In your podcasts, in your legendary Yeah, why is that.

256

Speaker 9: Yeah, That's that's what's engraving with me. Is legendary. That's

259
00:12:04,559 --> 00:12:07,600
Speaker 9: the word a choice that fits me overall. There's nothing

260
00:12:07,679 --> 00:12:10,520
Speaker 9: that it will be extremely hard for somebody to replicate

261
00:12:10,640 --> 00:12:13,280
Speaker 9: and do what we did in my career so far

262
00:12:13,320 --> 00:12:16,280
Speaker 9: and in life overall. So that's why legendary means so

263
00:12:16,400 --> 00:12:18,719
Speaker 9: much to me. As that mine said is the way

264
00:12:18,760 --> 00:12:21,400

Speaker 9: a lot to me also, So I'm thankful that's the

266
00:12:24,080 --> 00:12:25,319

275
00:12:45,880 --> 00:12:48,080
Speaker 4: was telling them about the travails of trying to learn

276
00:12:48,080 --> 00:12:50,480
Speaker 4: an NFL offense in like forty eight hours for a quarterback.

277
00:12:50,559 --> 00:12:52,520
Speaker 4: How has that gone for you, England, And how have

278

00:12:58,200 --> 00:13:00,959
Speaker 2: Right now we're learning NFL terminology, We're learning an NFL

282
00:13:01,000 --> 00:13:03,959
Speaker 2: playbook in such a short period of time, and that's

283
00:13:04,000 --> 00:13:06,599
Speaker 2: great prep for whether it's mini camp outas whenever we

284
00:13:06,679 --> 00:13:10,120
Speaker 2: get to a team. Honestly, it's great to have other

285
00:13:10,240 --> 00:13:12,880
Speaker 2: really good quarterbacks around you to learn it with. Me

286
00:13:12,960 --> 00:13:15,200
Speaker 2: and Max have gone over every single play with each other,

287
00:13:15,960 --> 00:13:18,240
Speaker 2: and to have someone to bounce this off, bounce that off,

288
00:13:18,760 --> 00:13:21,360
Speaker 2: different ideas and different opinions and plays. You know, it's

289
00:13:21,400 --> 00:13:22,400
Speaker 2: honestly been pretty smooth.

290
00:13:22,640 --> 00:13:24,320
Speaker 1: How much different is it than what you were being

291
00:13:24,360 --> 00:13:25,280
Speaker 1: asked to do at Missouri?

292
00:13:26,000 --> 00:13:29,480
Speaker 2: It's different. It's different, you know, honestly, The game's different.

293
00:13:29,480 --> 00:13:30,440
Speaker 2: The spacing is different.

294
00:13:31,160 --> 00:13:32,680
Speaker 1: The hash marks are a big deal, right.

295
00:13:32,640 --> 00:13:34,319
Speaker 2: The hashmarks are a big deal. The spacing on the

296
00:13:34,360 --> 00:13:37,800
Speaker 2: field is different, you know, everything's a little everything's a

297
00:13:37,840 --> 00:13:39,679
Speaker 2: little deeper. I've noticed a lot of routes are a

298
00:13:39,720 --> 00:13:42,640
Speaker 2: little deeper with the way defenses play, So you know,

299
00:13:42,720 --> 00:13:44,079
Speaker 2: it's a little different. By the end of the day,

300
00:13:44,240 --> 00:13:45,080
Speaker 2: it's still football.

301
00:13:45,600 --> 00:13:47,120
Speaker 4: The question of that now, running is a big part

302
00:13:47,160 --> 00:13:49,400
Speaker 4: of your game over twenty rushing touchdowns in your career.

303
00:13:49,840 --> 00:13:52,080
Speaker 4: In these practices, though, get to the game, you're gonna

304
00:13:52,080 --> 00:13:54,000
Speaker 4: do some money, and practice is about your arm. What

305
00:13:54,120 --> 00:13:56,080
Speaker 4: do you want to show these coaches and scabs when

306
00:13:56,120 --> 00:13:58,000
Speaker 4: they watch on the field during these practices.

307
00:13:58,200 --> 00:13:59,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, twenty twenty three had a ton of

308
00:14:00,320 --> 00:14:03,640
Speaker 2: production down the field, a ton of explosive plays with

309
00:14:03,720 --> 00:14:05,400
Speaker 2: our guys. Twenty twenty four we had a little bit

310
00:14:05,440 --> 00:14:08,120
Speaker 2: of a dip off. So I'm really I want to

311
00:14:08,160 --> 00:14:10,079
Speaker 2: prove I can make those throws, you know, make sure

312
00:14:10,160 --> 00:14:12,360
Speaker 2: they know and believe that I can make those throws.

313
00:14:12,880 --> 00:14:15,280
Speaker 2: And that's why I'm here. That's why i'm here. I'm practicing.

314
00:14:15,320 --> 00:14:17,880
Speaker 2: I'm gonna give it my best shot and prove I

315
00:14:17,920 --> 00:14:18,760
Speaker 2: can make those throws.

316
00:14:18,960 --> 00:14:20,840
Speaker 4: And you also do buil chemistry to wide receivers, right,

317
00:14:20,920 --> 00:14:22,840
Speaker 4: because it's hard to figure out how to lead these guys.

318
00:14:22,880 --> 00:14:24,480
Speaker 1: You don't know what their top speed is? Is there?

319
00:14:24,800 --> 00:14:27,120
Speaker 4: You know individual though they do they run the stats

320
00:14:27,120 --> 00:14:29,880
Speaker 4: individuals as they do during team How have you tried

321
00:14:29,960 --> 00:14:32,000
Speaker 4: to kind of game chemistry with these guys in such

322
00:14:32,000 --> 00:14:32,800
Speaker 4: a short period of time.

323
00:14:32,920 --> 00:14:34,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean it's really about taking every rep and

324
00:14:35,000 --> 00:14:37,520
Speaker 2: taking advantage of it. You only get so many, You

325
00:14:37,600 --> 00:14:40,040
Speaker 2: only get so many RVA reps, seven on seven reps,

326
00:14:40,080 --> 00:14:44,160
Speaker 2: team reps. So it's really about learning quick understanding the guys,

327
00:14:44,280 --> 00:14:46,680
Speaker 2: maybe even going back and watching a little bit of

328
00:14:46,680 --> 00:14:48,960
Speaker 2: their highlights, a little bit of their tape. But it's

329
00:14:48,960 --> 00:14:50,520
Speaker 2: a quick process. It's definitely tough.

330
00:14:51,080 --> 00:14:53,360
Speaker 4: Now I'm gonna talk to the other teammate, Lukelache in

331
00:14:53,400 --> 00:14:55,960
Speaker 4: a little bit. You had a little experience playing against

332
00:14:56,040 --> 00:14:56,880
Speaker 4: him late in the year his.

333
00:14:56,920 --> 00:14:58,680
Speaker 1: Team in Iowa. Right, you keep the heck you played

334
00:14:58,680 --> 00:14:59,560
Speaker 1: in the Music City Vault.

335
00:15:00,360 --> 00:15:01,720
Speaker 4: Why did you want to come back and playing that

336
00:15:01,760 --> 00:15:03,080
Speaker 4: game as you were coming back from an injury?

337
00:15:03,120 --> 00:15:04,200
Speaker 1: Why was that so important for you?

338
00:15:04,320 --> 00:15:06,280
Speaker 4: And what did win the MVP and playing as well

339
00:15:06,280 --> 00:15:07,720
Speaker 4: as he did in that game kind of mean to

340
00:15:07,800 --> 00:15:09,800
Speaker 4: you as your swan song leaving Missouri.

341
00:15:10,080 --> 00:15:11,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean there's no way I was missing that game.

342
00:15:12,880 --> 00:15:15,280
Speaker 2: There's no way that that was my last game at Missoo,

343
00:15:15,360 --> 00:15:18,640
Speaker 2: my last opportunity to wear that uniform and an opportunity

344
00:15:18,640 --> 00:15:20,320
Speaker 2: to get ten wins in twenty twenty four. You know,

345
00:15:20,360 --> 00:15:22,440
Speaker 2: that's a big deal. That's something we took pride in

346
00:15:22,720 --> 00:15:24,600
Speaker 2: and something the leaders on our team took brighten so

347
00:15:25,440 --> 00:15:27,200
Speaker 2: to play in that game to get that tenth win

348
00:15:27,360 --> 00:15:29,120
Speaker 2: meant a ton to me. I definitely don't regret it,

349
00:15:29,160 --> 00:15:30,000
Speaker 2: that's for sure, all right.

350
00:15:30,120 --> 00:15:32,200
Speaker 4: Last two, if there's something that you still really trying

351
00:15:32,200 --> 00:15:34,160
Speaker 4: to holde in on a work on as a quarterback

352
00:15:34,200 --> 00:15:35,440
Speaker 4: heading into the NFL, what would it be?

353
00:15:35,600 --> 00:15:36,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, I think it's what I talked about

354
00:15:36,960 --> 00:15:39,320
Speaker 2: with you, you know, the production in twenty twenty four

355
00:15:39,400 --> 00:15:41,440
Speaker 2: that dropped off down the field. I think it's going

356
00:15:41,520 --> 00:15:43,120
Speaker 2: to be, you know, proof I can make those throws,

357
00:15:43,160 --> 00:15:46,560
Speaker 2: tighten them on, tightening up my mechanics this offseason and

358
00:15:46,680 --> 00:15:49,720
Speaker 2: in my training and just going out and playing ball,

359
00:15:49,800 --> 00:15:50,920
Speaker 2: like I know how all right?

360
00:15:50,960 --> 00:15:53,040
Speaker 4: That's on the field now when you're in meetings and

361
00:15:53,120 --> 00:15:55,960
Speaker 4: you're trying to explain to these teams how you know,

362
00:15:56,280 --> 00:15:58,200
Speaker 4: what makes you tick, how you go back your business.

363
00:15:58,240 --> 00:15:59,560
Speaker 4: What are you trying to get across them? In these

364
00:15:59,560 --> 00:16:02,040
Speaker 4: face if they meetings that are almost just as important

365
00:16:02,040 --> 00:16:03,080
Speaker 4: as what's going on on the field.

366
00:16:03,160 --> 00:16:03,360
Speaker 3: Yeah.

367
00:16:03,360 --> 00:16:04,920
Speaker 2: I mean, I think first of all that football is

368
00:16:04,960 --> 00:16:06,800
Speaker 2: my life. I've been playing it since kindergarten. I've been

369
00:16:06,840 --> 00:16:10,760
Speaker 2: playing quarterbacks since kindergarten. Never another position, really, never another position,

370
00:16:10,840 --> 00:16:14,000
Speaker 2: And it's my life, man, So preparing comes easy for me.

371
00:16:14,600 --> 00:16:15,160
Speaker 3: It's what I do.

372
00:16:15,600 --> 00:16:18,400
Speaker 2: It's a part of my everyday routine. And I think

373
00:16:18,440 --> 00:16:20,800
Speaker 2: preparation is what's gonna set me apart, and that's what

374
00:16:20,840 --> 00:16:21,880
Speaker 2: I'm trying to get across to them.

375
00:16:22,080 --> 00:16:24,640
Speaker 1: No other positions, any other sports growing up that you played.

376
00:16:24,520 --> 00:16:26,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, I played a ton of other sports, but quarterback

377
00:16:26,840 --> 00:16:29,920
Speaker 2: was always the front runner. That's what I loved and

378
00:16:30,000 --> 00:16:30,240
Speaker 2: that's what.

379
00:16:30,280 --> 00:16:30,800
Speaker 8: I'm doing now.

380
00:16:31,000 --> 00:16:32,080
Speaker 1: And then good luck the rest of the week.

381
00:16:32,080 --> 00:16:33,320
Speaker 2: Thank you very much, appreciate that.

382
00:16:33,680 --> 00:16:36,320
Speaker 1: All right, now we're joined by Cincinnati running back Corey Kinder. Corey,

383
00:16:36,360 --> 00:16:37,520
Speaker 1: Hey doing man, I'm doing well, sir.

384
00:16:37,640 --> 00:16:38,040
Speaker 7: How about you?

385
00:16:38,240 --> 00:16:38,440
Speaker 8: Good?

386
00:16:38,520 --> 00:16:40,600
Speaker 1: So we're talking after your first practice. How do you

387
00:16:40,640 --> 00:16:40,960
Speaker 1: think it went?

388
00:16:41,440 --> 00:16:42,360
Speaker 13: I feel like it went well.

389
00:16:42,440 --> 00:16:44,600
Speaker 5: You know, pound some areas that I really need to

390
00:16:44,640 --> 00:16:47,240
Speaker 5: improve in, but overall it was a will practice.

391
00:16:47,520 --> 00:16:47,920
Speaker 7: Very good.

392
00:16:48,320 --> 00:16:49,360
Speaker 1: Well, why don't we talk about that.

393
00:16:49,480 --> 00:16:51,080
Speaker 4: What are some of the areas that you really also

394
00:16:51,120 --> 00:16:52,440
Speaker 4: trying to hone in on and improve on as a

395
00:16:52,520 --> 00:16:53,160
Speaker 4: running back right now?

396
00:16:53,360 --> 00:16:56,000
Speaker 5: So my route running and my pass catching. I feel

397
00:16:56,000 --> 00:16:58,520
Speaker 5: like I ran in some decent routes, but our job.

398
00:16:59,120 --> 00:17:01,320
Speaker 5: Let a ball hit the ground, you know, can't let

399
00:17:01,400 --> 00:17:02,000
Speaker 5: that happen.

400
00:17:02,440 --> 00:17:04,720
Speaker 4: Now in order to be on the field to catch passes.

401
00:17:05,280 --> 00:17:06,840
Speaker 4: You got a block, you had a pass pro. Where

402
00:17:06,840 --> 00:17:08,240
Speaker 4: do you think you are in terms of pass protection?

403
00:17:08,480 --> 00:17:10,520
Speaker 5: I feel I feel like I do a very good

404
00:17:10,600 --> 00:17:12,920
Speaker 5: job at pass pro, but you know, it's always room

405
00:17:13,000 --> 00:17:14,760
Speaker 5: to improve and if I want to play at the

406
00:17:14,800 --> 00:17:16,119
Speaker 5: next level, which I feel like.

407
00:17:16,119 --> 00:17:19,040
Speaker 7: I do, and I really could use some improvement.

408
00:17:19,440 --> 00:17:21,760
Speaker 4: So you started to LS decide the transfer to Cincinnati

409
00:17:21,920 --> 00:17:24,600
Speaker 4: right when you look back, was that decision everything you

410
00:17:24,640 --> 00:17:25,200
Speaker 4: thought it would be?

411
00:17:25,359 --> 00:17:25,399
Speaker 8: Like?

412
00:17:25,440 --> 00:17:27,040
Speaker 1: Did everything work out for you? Were you very happy

413
00:17:27,080 --> 00:17:27,520
Speaker 1: with the decision?

414
00:17:27,520 --> 00:17:27,600
Speaker 8: Oh?

415
00:17:27,680 --> 00:17:30,200
Speaker 7: Yeah, yes, sir, very happy with that decision.

416
00:17:30,800 --> 00:17:33,200
Speaker 5: It's probably one of the probably the second biggest decision

417
00:17:33,200 --> 00:17:35,080
Speaker 5: I've made in my life so far. What was the

418
00:17:35,160 --> 00:17:38,920
Speaker 5: first Picking a college? Picking the college in the first place. Yeah,

419
00:17:38,960 --> 00:17:41,160
Speaker 5: going to Uls she was my first big decision. Leaving

420
00:17:41,280 --> 00:17:43,920
Speaker 5: was my second big decision, and it turned out to

421
00:17:44,040 --> 00:17:47,440
Speaker 5: be a great decision. You know, great team, great atmosphere,

422
00:17:47,480 --> 00:17:49,719
Speaker 5: got to play for my home city and then had

423
00:17:49,800 --> 00:17:52,320
Speaker 5: two back to back one thousand yard seasons and left

424
00:17:52,359 --> 00:17:53,560
Speaker 5: my mark on Cincinnati football.

425
00:17:53,920 --> 00:17:55,720
Speaker 4: How much of that was wanting to go back home

426
00:17:55,880 --> 00:17:57,960
Speaker 4: or was it just a good fit from a football perspective?

427
00:17:58,320 --> 00:18:00,680
Speaker 7: Was it was a good fit for all perspective.

428
00:18:01,200 --> 00:18:03,720
Speaker 5: It was great that it was back home, like and

429
00:18:03,800 --> 00:18:05,480
Speaker 5: the success that they had in twenty twenty one and

430
00:18:05,520 --> 00:18:07,720
Speaker 5: all that kind of stuff that really had an impact

431
00:18:07,760 --> 00:18:09,840
Speaker 5: on it. But like it was just wanting to go

432
00:18:09,920 --> 00:18:12,560
Speaker 5: find a good spot for me where I could develop

433
00:18:12,640 --> 00:18:14,600
Speaker 5: and get get what I needed to do.

434
00:18:14,920 --> 00:18:16,439
Speaker 1: And you had two straight thousand yard seasons.

435
00:18:16,520 --> 00:18:19,000
Speaker 4: Right If a coach came and asked you, what do

436
00:18:19,040 --> 00:18:20,679
Speaker 4: you think the strength of your game is a running back?

437
00:18:20,680 --> 00:18:21,440
Speaker 8: What do you do well?

438
00:18:21,560 --> 00:18:24,080
Speaker 1: What's your thing that you rely on the most? What

439
00:18:24,119 --> 00:18:24,840
Speaker 1: would you answer them?

440
00:18:25,080 --> 00:18:25,119
Speaker 2: So?

441
00:18:25,440 --> 00:18:28,320
Speaker 5: I would say that I have great vision, great contact balance.

442
00:18:29,680 --> 00:18:31,879
Speaker 5: Nine times out of ten, I never get tackled by

443
00:18:31,920 --> 00:18:32,359
Speaker 5: the first guy.

444
00:18:32,840 --> 00:18:35,520
Speaker 7: It takes more guys than one to bring me down.

445
00:18:35,920 --> 00:18:37,159
Speaker 7: And then my ability to.

446
00:18:37,320 --> 00:18:39,760
Speaker 5: Get into the whole, make something out of nothing and

447
00:18:39,840 --> 00:18:40,720
Speaker 5: fall forward every time.

448
00:18:41,200 --> 00:18:42,680
Speaker 1: Corey, good stuff, man, best luck rest of the way.

449
00:18:42,720 --> 00:18:43,600
Speaker 7: Thank you, sir, Thank you.

450
00:18:44,320 --> 00:18:48,040
Speaker 4: Now we're joined by Brandon Crenshaw Dixon, offensive tackle for Florida.

451
00:18:48,520 --> 00:18:49,399
Speaker 1: Brandon, how are you man?

452
00:18:49,520 --> 00:18:49,880
Speaker 8: I'm good.

453
00:18:49,960 --> 00:18:51,440
Speaker 1: Are you doing I'm doing great? How was this week

454
00:18:51,440 --> 00:18:51,840
Speaker 1: been so far?

455
00:18:51,880 --> 00:18:54,040
Speaker 4: If you're trying to absorb an NFL offense at about

456
00:18:54,040 --> 00:18:56,160
Speaker 4: thirty six hours, fun, I imagine.

457
00:18:55,800 --> 00:18:58,520
Speaker 11: Yeah, no, absolutely, Now it's been amazing though, you know,

458
00:18:58,680 --> 00:19:00,399
Speaker 11: learning a lot of stuff from a lot of differ people,

459
00:19:00,480 --> 00:19:01,800
Speaker 11: so you know, I'm just kind of taking it all that.

460
00:19:02,359 --> 00:19:04,359
Speaker 1: All right, So you've played left tackle and right tackle.

461
00:19:04,400 --> 00:19:06,280
Speaker 4: I wrote down left tackle twenty two to twenty three,

462
00:19:06,359 --> 00:19:07,680
Speaker 4: right tackle twenty three twenty four.

463
00:19:09,240 --> 00:19:10,679
Speaker 1: What was making that switch?

464
00:19:10,960 --> 00:19:13,719
Speaker 4: Like? I've talked a lot of offensive linemen and they

465
00:19:13,760 --> 00:19:15,959
Speaker 4: always tell me it's a lot harder than people make

466
00:19:16,040 --> 00:19:17,040
Speaker 4: it out to be. So what was it like for

467
00:19:17,119 --> 00:19:19,800
Speaker 4: you having to completely reverse your footwork, reverse your handwork

468
00:19:20,080 --> 00:19:21,720
Speaker 4: going from left to right over the course.

469
00:19:21,560 --> 00:19:22,000
Speaker 8: Of two years?

470
00:19:22,080 --> 00:19:24,240
Speaker 11: All right, in the beginning in the twenty one twenty

471
00:19:24,280 --> 00:19:25,760
Speaker 11: two season, it was a lot harder. That was the

472
00:19:25,800 --> 00:19:27,720
Speaker 11: first time I ever played left, so I had to

473
00:19:27,760 --> 00:19:30,439
Speaker 11: really figure that out. Switching it in the twenty three

474
00:19:30,440 --> 00:19:32,440
Speaker 11: to twenty four season was a little bit easier because

475
00:19:32,440 --> 00:19:34,520
Speaker 11: I've already played that position, so it was it made

476
00:19:34,560 --> 00:19:36,080
Speaker 11: it a little bit easier of a process for me.

477
00:19:36,840 --> 00:19:38,720
Speaker 4: Was it the footwork that's the trouble getting the kick

478
00:19:38,800 --> 00:19:41,280
Speaker 4: right or is it getting the hand timing with the punches.

479
00:19:41,680 --> 00:19:43,399
Speaker 11: It's a little bit of everything. You gotta flip every

480
00:19:43,440 --> 00:19:45,879
Speaker 11: player in your head. You gotta flip your footwork, getting

481
00:19:45,880 --> 00:19:47,480
Speaker 11: your kick right, and then it's I mean it's a

482
00:19:47,480 --> 00:19:49,199
Speaker 11: little bit of a hand timming with your punches too.

483
00:19:50,000 --> 00:19:52,000
Speaker 4: Did it help you grow as a player though, having

484
00:19:52,080 --> 00:19:53,600
Speaker 4: to challenge yourself to do that?

485
00:19:54,160 --> 00:19:54,320
Speaker 3: Yeah?

486
00:19:54,400 --> 00:19:58,240
Speaker 11: Absolutely. Being able to learn both sizes, I mean that's versatile.

487
00:19:58,320 --> 00:20:00,440
Speaker 11: You know, that's also adding SODI toolbox.

488
00:20:00,520 --> 00:20:01,240
Speaker 7: So that was big for me.

489
00:20:01,560 --> 00:20:03,719
Speaker 4: And I gotta imagine as you interview with teams now,

490
00:20:04,240 --> 00:20:06,960
Speaker 4: I'm sure at the time you're like, oh, damn, this sucks.

491
00:20:07,080 --> 00:20:09,120
Speaker 1: I got a little whole new side. This is really hard.

492
00:20:09,920 --> 00:20:13,040
Speaker 4: Now, I'm sure you're saying, WHOA, Okay, this is gonna

493
00:20:13,040 --> 00:20:15,080
Speaker 4: help me now as teams want to try to pull

494
00:20:15,160 --> 00:20:16,040
Speaker 4: me into spots, right.

495
00:20:16,160 --> 00:20:17,119
Speaker 8: Yeah, no, absolutely.

496
00:20:17,160 --> 00:20:19,240
Speaker 11: I even told a couple of guys so back When

497
00:20:19,240 --> 00:20:20,720
Speaker 11: I was in high school, I played a little bit

498
00:20:20,760 --> 00:20:23,160
Speaker 11: long snap, so a lot of them been seeing value

499
00:20:23,160 --> 00:20:23,520
Speaker 11: in that too.

500
00:20:23,560 --> 00:20:24,840
Speaker 7: So I've been telling a lot of guys that too

501
00:20:24,880 --> 00:20:25,159
Speaker 7: as well.

502
00:20:25,480 --> 00:20:26,960
Speaker 1: Dude, backup long snapper.

503
00:20:26,760 --> 00:20:28,760
Speaker 10: Man, that's big.

504
00:20:28,960 --> 00:20:29,720
Speaker 1: Hey, the more you can do.

505
00:20:29,800 --> 00:20:31,600
Speaker 4: You got the long snapper cut down, pulls a hamstring

506
00:20:31,680 --> 00:20:33,720
Speaker 4: on punk covers or something like that. You got someone

507
00:20:33,760 --> 00:20:34,960
Speaker 4: you can trust that you laugh.

508
00:20:35,080 --> 00:20:35,560
Speaker 1: It matters.

509
00:20:36,800 --> 00:20:39,440
Speaker 4: Last year, according to Pro Football Focus, you allowed just

510
00:20:39,480 --> 00:20:43,000
Speaker 4: one sack. If you were asked by a scout what

511
00:20:43,119 --> 00:20:45,160
Speaker 4: the strength of your game is as an offensive lineman,

512
00:20:45,200 --> 00:20:47,119
Speaker 4: what do you think it is that you do best, I.

513
00:20:47,119 --> 00:20:49,399
Speaker 7: Would one hundred and ten percent say it's my past protection.

514
00:20:50,000 --> 00:20:50,520
Speaker 3: That's something I.

515
00:20:50,600 --> 00:20:53,280
Speaker 11: Definitely strive for this year to make it one of

516
00:20:53,359 --> 00:20:55,200
Speaker 11: my key things that I want to go into. I'm

517
00:20:55,359 --> 00:20:58,960
Speaker 11: going through the draft process going into Florida. Like I said,

518
00:20:59,040 --> 00:21:01,159
Speaker 11: I definitely learn a lot of things. From coach to

519
00:21:01,200 --> 00:21:03,760
Speaker 11: Constant Cosel. They taught me a lot, They added a

520
00:21:03,800 --> 00:21:06,720
Speaker 11: lot to my toolbox. So pass pro is big for.

521
00:21:06,800 --> 00:21:07,240
Speaker 8: Me this year.

522
00:21:08,200 --> 00:21:09,960
Speaker 1: Where are you in terms of your run game? Blocking?

523
00:21:10,760 --> 00:21:11,960
Speaker 8: Run blocking is also good.

524
00:21:12,920 --> 00:21:15,919
Speaker 11: I would say during this whole process of training and everything,

525
00:21:16,040 --> 00:21:18,280
Speaker 11: I gotta work on, you know, bending my knees and ankles,

526
00:21:18,320 --> 00:21:19,760
Speaker 11: getting a little bit lower in the run game.

527
00:21:19,880 --> 00:21:22,560
Speaker 8: But it's also good too. My double teams are really good.

528
00:21:22,640 --> 00:21:24,600
Speaker 4: So yeah, now you're a taller guy and he's told

529
00:21:24,600 --> 00:21:27,639
Speaker 4: about leverage, right, so you gotta get I think that's

530
00:21:27,680 --> 00:21:29,360
Speaker 4: the thing, right, you got to get load of big

531
00:21:29,400 --> 00:21:29,880
Speaker 4: Sure you get.

532
00:21:29,800 --> 00:21:33,639
Speaker 1: Your leverage right, Yes, absolutely, I'm sure that's something that

533
00:21:33,720 --> 00:21:35,560
Speaker 1: that that that that is a costant battle.

534
00:21:37,000 --> 00:21:40,000
Speaker 4: If there's one thing that you want to show coaches

535
00:21:40,160 --> 00:21:43,400
Speaker 4: and scouts on the field and or in meeting rooms

536
00:21:43,440 --> 00:21:44,479
Speaker 4: this week, what do you want to show them?

537
00:21:45,000 --> 00:21:46,960
Speaker 11: I would say, uh, you know, I don't want to

538
00:21:46,960 --> 00:21:50,400
Speaker 11: sign clichere anything but my hard work, my my determination,

539
00:21:50,760 --> 00:21:53,240
Speaker 11: my my laser focus on how I am you know,

540
00:21:53,400 --> 00:21:56,520
Speaker 11: gaming and game out week to week. My hard work,

541
00:21:56,640 --> 00:22:00,680
Speaker 11: a hard you know, prepared week each week. H you know,

542
00:22:00,720 --> 00:22:03,159
Speaker 11: it's just like no other. Like I'm a film junkie.

543
00:22:03,200 --> 00:22:06,399
Speaker 11: So you know, if you're not seeing me out, you know,

544
00:22:06,560 --> 00:22:09,480
Speaker 11: walking around in the classroom watching film, I'm at home

545
00:22:09,520 --> 00:22:10,000
Speaker 11: watching film.

546
00:22:10,000 --> 00:22:11,240
Speaker 8: I'm in the locker room watching film.

547
00:22:11,320 --> 00:22:14,320
Speaker 4: So yeah, now you transferred from San Diego State to Florida, right,

548
00:22:15,440 --> 00:22:18,680
Speaker 4: how did you handle mentally and physically. I guess the

549
00:22:18,840 --> 00:22:21,360
Speaker 4: jumping competition that you got going from San Diego State

550
00:22:21,920 --> 00:22:25,080
Speaker 4: to the SEC where you're facing the best edge rushers

551
00:22:25,200 --> 00:22:27,040
Speaker 4: in the world that are not in the NFL.

552
00:22:27,640 --> 00:22:30,600
Speaker 11: Right, you know, one big thing for me was definitely

553
00:22:30,640 --> 00:22:32,600
Speaker 11: the weather change. You know, it's not sunny San Diego.

554
00:22:32,720 --> 00:22:35,520
Speaker 11: You know where you're getting the nice breeze off the ocean.

555
00:22:35,560 --> 00:22:37,040
Speaker 11: You know it's a little bit of swamp. You know,

556
00:22:37,160 --> 00:22:40,280
Speaker 11: it's a a little hot in humidity. But no, I

557
00:22:40,680 --> 00:22:43,000
Speaker 11: definitely was able to focus a little bit different weekend

558
00:22:43,080 --> 00:22:44,639
Speaker 11: and week out. I think that's what also helped my

559
00:22:44,720 --> 00:22:48,360
Speaker 11: game nowadays, like being able to really learn who you're

560
00:22:48,359 --> 00:22:49,840
Speaker 11: growing up against weekend and the week got. It's gonna

561
00:22:49,840 --> 00:22:51,440
Speaker 11: be a different oponent. They're gonna have a different type

562
00:22:51,440 --> 00:22:53,320
Speaker 11: of game, different type of style of play. So you

563
00:22:53,400 --> 00:22:54,840
Speaker 11: got to prepare for that weekend and week out.

564
00:22:55,640 --> 00:22:57,719
Speaker 4: If you had a problem going from San Diego to Florida,

565
00:22:58,359 --> 00:23:01,160
Speaker 4: you better avoid getting drafted by Green or something. My dad, dude,

566
00:23:01,160 --> 00:23:03,560
Speaker 4: because that's gonna be a coat of shock. Man.

567
00:23:03,680 --> 00:23:07,160
Speaker 11: You're saying that, but I just trained in Cane, Georgia

568
00:23:07,240 --> 00:23:09,919
Speaker 11: and it's freezing down. There's about twenty degrees right now,

569
00:23:10,040 --> 00:23:11,520
Speaker 11: so I'm getting used to the cold right now.

570
00:23:12,440 --> 00:23:14,280
Speaker 4: If there's one thing that in your training and everything

571
00:23:14,320 --> 00:23:16,080
Speaker 4: that you're working on that trying to improve on your

572
00:23:16,160 --> 00:23:18,720
Speaker 4: game on the field, technic technique wise, what would it be.

573
00:23:19,200 --> 00:23:21,679
Speaker 11: I would say a little bit better on my punch time, man,

574
00:23:21,800 --> 00:23:23,840
Speaker 11: just being able to keep the guy off my body,

575
00:23:23,880 --> 00:23:25,440
Speaker 11: continue to play long in my game.

576
00:23:25,680 --> 00:23:27,159
Speaker 8: I think those are the two biggest things for me.

577
00:23:27,320 --> 00:23:29,760
Speaker 1: Brandon, good stuff, man, Congratulations and good luck this week.

578
00:23:29,880 --> 00:23:30,920
Speaker 7: Yes, sir, thank you for having me.

579
00:23:31,680 --> 00:23:34,800
Speaker 4: And now we're joined by local guy Holland Pierce, offensive

580
00:23:34,800 --> 00:23:37,080
Speaker 4: tackle for the University of Rutgers. Holland, how's the week

581
00:23:37,160 --> 00:23:40,000
Speaker 4: been for you so far? Being coached by Giants head

582
00:23:40,080 --> 00:23:41,080
Speaker 4: coach Shane Mohen.

583
00:23:41,600 --> 00:23:44,720
Speaker 17: It's truly amazing. It's a blessing to be here. I'm

584
00:23:44,800 --> 00:23:46,040
Speaker 17: excited for this opportunity.

585
00:23:46,480 --> 00:23:48,840
Speaker 4: Or Shane's the head coach here, defensive coordinator for the Giants.

586
00:23:49,040 --> 00:23:51,280
Speaker 4: All right, I want to talk to you about path Flowery.

587
00:23:51,320 --> 00:23:53,440
Speaker 4: He's your offensive line coach. He was with the Giants

588
00:23:53,480 --> 00:23:56,159
Speaker 4: in the mid to two thousands when the Giants are

589
00:23:56,200 --> 00:23:59,280
Speaker 4: winning Super Bowls. What is it about his coaching style

590
00:23:59,400 --> 00:24:01,720
Speaker 4: that you think has really helped you as a player.

591
00:24:02,160 --> 00:24:05,080
Speaker 17: I feel like he's very detailed and what he explains

592
00:24:05,080 --> 00:24:07,640
Speaker 17: to us, and also he's very hands on, was showing

593
00:24:07,720 --> 00:24:11,200
Speaker 17: his technique and how he wants it done, and he's

594
00:24:11,320 --> 00:24:14,280
Speaker 17: just he he just has a knack for making an

595
00:24:14,320 --> 00:24:18,320
Speaker 17: old line just becoming close together, just you know, becoming brothers,

596
00:24:18,640 --> 00:24:20,800
Speaker 17: you know, really making each and one of us love

597
00:24:20,840 --> 00:24:23,119
Speaker 17: each other and take care of each other on the field.

598
00:24:23,680 --> 00:24:25,520
Speaker 4: How important is that for an offensive line group to

599
00:24:25,640 --> 00:24:28,320
Speaker 4: not just have cohesion on the field, but also off I.

600
00:24:28,359 --> 00:24:30,880
Speaker 17: Mean, it's very important because the way you interact off

601
00:24:30,920 --> 00:24:33,080
Speaker 17: the field actually a lot has to do with what

602
00:24:33,200 --> 00:24:35,280
Speaker 17: you do with each other on the field, you know.

603
00:24:35,640 --> 00:24:39,800
Speaker 17: So I feel like the bond we shared, especially when

604
00:24:39,920 --> 00:24:42,720
Speaker 17: Coach Flats came to the offensive line, was you know,

605
00:24:42,920 --> 00:24:45,800
Speaker 17: completely it was just completely different when he came to

606
00:24:45,880 --> 00:24:47,840
Speaker 17: the offensive line, Like just the love we have for

607
00:24:47,960 --> 00:24:51,000
Speaker 17: each other. And it's a different feeling when you have

608
00:24:51,200 --> 00:24:53,480
Speaker 17: guys playing for each other, you know, it's just a

609
00:24:53,560 --> 00:24:56,120
Speaker 17: completely different feeling. You go out there, it doesn't matter

610
00:24:56,160 --> 00:24:57,960
Speaker 17: who you're it doesn't matter who you're playing or what

611
00:24:58,119 --> 00:25:01,399
Speaker 17: the what this whatever that says about the odds of

612
00:25:01,480 --> 00:25:03,680
Speaker 17: this and that like when you have that type of

613
00:25:03,720 --> 00:25:06,560
Speaker 17: love for each other on the field, like it doesn't matter,

614
00:25:07,359 --> 00:25:07,960
Speaker 17: it doesn't matter.

615
00:25:08,040 --> 00:25:08,920
Speaker 7: You guys are gonna block.

616
00:25:08,960 --> 00:25:11,120
Speaker 17: You guys are gonna block whatever front you got a block,

617
00:25:11,160 --> 00:25:12,560
Speaker 17: and you guys are gonna do it for each other.

618
00:25:14,320 --> 00:25:16,320
Speaker 4: One of the training gat memories I'll always have. And

619
00:25:16,400 --> 00:25:18,280
Speaker 4: I still hear the voice at the end of every

620
00:25:18,320 --> 00:25:21,120
Speaker 4: offensive line, drow Flowered yelling finish.

621
00:25:21,680 --> 00:25:22,480
Speaker 1: Does he still do that?

622
00:25:22,640 --> 00:25:25,720
Speaker 8: Oh yeah, oh yeah, finish every time?

623
00:25:25,760 --> 00:25:29,680
Speaker 1: Every time? Yeah, here, finish absolutely. Now he was there

624
00:25:29,720 --> 00:25:31,440
Speaker 1: with you for the last two seasons, is that correct?

625
00:25:31,560 --> 00:25:31,840
Speaker 3: Or three?

626
00:25:32,040 --> 00:25:32,240
Speaker 1: Last?

627
00:25:32,280 --> 00:25:32,480
Speaker 8: Dude?

628
00:25:32,480 --> 00:25:34,680
Speaker 4: So did he help me make the transition then going

629
00:25:34,800 --> 00:25:37,320
Speaker 4: from left tackle over the right tackle?

630
00:25:37,680 --> 00:25:37,920
Speaker 18: Yeah?

631
00:25:38,040 --> 00:25:40,440
Speaker 17: So when I yeah, so right when coach Flats came

632
00:25:40,720 --> 00:25:42,800
Speaker 17: up to Rutgers, that was when I was making my

633
00:25:42,880 --> 00:25:44,800
Speaker 17: transition to left tackle. And I mean he's helped me

634
00:25:44,880 --> 00:25:48,000
Speaker 17: so much just from like it's like day and night

635
00:25:48,119 --> 00:25:50,840
Speaker 17: from like when he got there and my film from

636
00:25:50,880 --> 00:25:52,760
Speaker 17: went before he got there, and then the next year

637
00:25:53,640 --> 00:25:55,040
Speaker 17: it was like day and night when you watch the

638
00:25:55,119 --> 00:25:57,080
Speaker 17: film on tape, you know, he just you know, got

639
00:25:57,160 --> 00:26:00,399
Speaker 17: my stance and technique so much better then it was.

640
00:26:00,560 --> 00:26:03,720
Speaker 17: It was truly amazing seeing how you know, in such

641
00:26:03,760 --> 00:26:05,960
Speaker 17: a short time, how he changed me for the better.

642
00:26:06,240 --> 00:26:07,679
Speaker 8: It's truly just awesome.

643
00:26:07,880 --> 00:26:09,840
Speaker 4: Yeah, you were right tack here first two years, second

644
00:26:09,880 --> 00:26:10,840
Speaker 4: two years at left tackle.

645
00:26:10,920 --> 00:26:13,160
Speaker 1: What was the toughest transition for you? Was it the footwork?

646
00:26:13,560 --> 00:26:15,560
Speaker 4: Was it the punch because you got to go inside

647
00:26:15,600 --> 00:26:17,719
Speaker 4: outside arm and that changes based on right or left?

648
00:26:17,760 --> 00:26:19,520
Speaker 1: What was the toughest part of that transition?

649
00:26:19,600 --> 00:26:19,840
Speaker 8: Feel?

650
00:26:20,000 --> 00:26:21,720
Speaker 17: I would definitely say it's a little bit of both.

651
00:26:21,760 --> 00:26:23,800
Speaker 17: You know, you know, you're just flipping to a whole

652
00:26:23,800 --> 00:26:26,119
Speaker 17: different side. So now your kick, you're pushing off a

653
00:26:26,160 --> 00:26:26,680
Speaker 17: different foot.

654
00:26:26,920 --> 00:26:27,639
Speaker 1: Everything's reversed.

655
00:26:27,680 --> 00:26:31,680
Speaker 17: Everything's reversed, and you know that takes time getting used to.

656
00:26:32,200 --> 00:26:35,280
Speaker 17: And one thing is for sure, he definitely helped me

657
00:26:35,400 --> 00:26:38,320
Speaker 17: adapt to that, you know, just after practice, you know,

658
00:26:38,440 --> 00:26:41,040
Speaker 17: getting doing line sets and all like that, and just

659
00:26:41,600 --> 00:26:44,480
Speaker 17: you know, helping me you know, focus on you know,

660
00:26:44,640 --> 00:26:48,280
Speaker 17: staying square, on past sets and just everyday stuff. And

661
00:26:48,400 --> 00:26:50,520
Speaker 17: I mean, you really and it's frustrating at first, like

662
00:26:50,560 --> 00:26:52,359
Speaker 17: when you move from a different position to another because

663
00:26:52,359 --> 00:26:54,560
Speaker 17: you don't feel the same, but then over time when

664
00:26:54,560 --> 00:26:56,440
Speaker 17: you just keep working on it, working on and working

665
00:26:56,520 --> 00:26:58,280
Speaker 17: on it, it's just like now, it's clockwork.

666
00:26:58,800 --> 00:27:02,520
Speaker 4: And now as you talk to NFL teams and they're

667
00:27:02,560 --> 00:27:04,520
Speaker 4: asking you, wait, can you play right and left for us?

668
00:27:04,760 --> 00:27:06,919
Speaker 1: Now you're kind of seeing the benefit. Right.

669
00:27:06,920 --> 00:27:09,280
Speaker 4: I'm sure at the time you're like this, socks, I

670
00:27:09,320 --> 00:27:10,640
Speaker 4: don't want to have to do this. But now I'm

671
00:27:10,640 --> 00:27:13,119
Speaker 4: sure it's like I'm versatile, this is this is this

672
00:27:13,240 --> 00:27:14,000
Speaker 4: is a good thing now.

673
00:27:14,000 --> 00:27:16,320
Speaker 17: Right, Yeah, for sure. Now, yeah, I've ever asked that.

674
00:27:16,400 --> 00:27:18,960
Speaker 17: I'm like, yes, I could do both sides. I could

675
00:27:19,000 --> 00:27:21,760
Speaker 17: do both sides and play it at a high, high

676
00:27:21,840 --> 00:27:25,159
Speaker 17: level of both sides. So yeah, I'm I'm blessed that

677
00:27:25,160 --> 00:27:27,119
Speaker 17: I can do that, and I'm grateful for coach Flask

678
00:27:27,119 --> 00:27:29,359
Speaker 17: because he had a lot to do with me making

679
00:27:29,480 --> 00:27:32,000
Speaker 17: that transition to left and where I'm at today.

680
00:27:32,240 --> 00:27:34,119
Speaker 4: Right, So let's lock it on you as a player,

681
00:27:34,400 --> 00:27:36,480
Speaker 4: if a team asked you what you think the strength

682
00:27:36,480 --> 00:27:38,879
Speaker 4: of your game is and maybe what one or two

683
00:27:38,920 --> 00:27:41,160
Speaker 4: things you're so really trying to work on, what would

684
00:27:41,160 --> 00:27:42,399
Speaker 4: be your two answers to those questions.

685
00:27:42,640 --> 00:27:44,760
Speaker 17: So I feel like my strength of the game is

686
00:27:44,800 --> 00:27:47,040
Speaker 17: you know, you know my run game, and you know

687
00:27:47,200 --> 00:27:49,640
Speaker 17: how I can you know, I could get under like say,

688
00:27:49,720 --> 00:27:52,040
Speaker 17: like I have a four e And how I can

689
00:27:52,200 --> 00:27:55,200
Speaker 17: you know, get my backside pad underneath that guy and

690
00:27:55,320 --> 00:27:57,880
Speaker 17: get my hips vertical, you know, to the line of scrimmage.

691
00:27:58,280 --> 00:27:59,399
Speaker 8: I always had a good knack for.

692
00:27:59,400 --> 00:28:01,320
Speaker 4: That, which is the taller guy is not easy. You

693
00:28:01,720 --> 00:28:03,800
Speaker 4: have to bend if you want to get the leverage right, Oh.

694
00:28:03,720 --> 00:28:05,720
Speaker 17: For sure, for sure, you definitely got to bend. And

695
00:28:05,800 --> 00:28:08,480
Speaker 17: you definitely got you know, load that backside foot and

696
00:28:08,520 --> 00:28:11,080
Speaker 17: you know, gain ground and get that backside pad there.

697
00:28:11,440 --> 00:28:13,600
Speaker 17: And one thing I'll definitely say I gotta work on

698
00:28:13,800 --> 00:28:16,399
Speaker 17: is you know, just on pass sets, you know, utilizing

699
00:28:16,520 --> 00:28:19,040
Speaker 17: my size, you know, me being you know at six

700
00:28:19,160 --> 00:28:23,000
Speaker 17: eight and stuff like being you know, playing at six eight,

701
00:28:23,119 --> 00:28:26,040
Speaker 17: you know, use your full length you have, and you

702
00:28:26,119 --> 00:28:29,040
Speaker 17: know on pass sets, you know, set in square, you know,

703
00:28:29,119 --> 00:28:31,320
Speaker 17: don't panic set, don't you know, don't fly out there

704
00:28:31,320 --> 00:28:33,000
Speaker 17: because you gotta speak guy, you know, he has to

705
00:28:33,040 --> 00:28:35,080
Speaker 17: come to you and stuff like that, and things to

706
00:28:35,160 --> 00:28:37,640
Speaker 17: work on like that. You know, the stays square. I'm

707
00:28:37,680 --> 00:28:40,560
Speaker 17: just staying just keeping your composure, you know, all like that.

708
00:28:41,240 --> 00:28:43,520
Speaker 17: But yeah, that's definitely my two right there.

709
00:28:43,760 --> 00:28:47,800
Speaker 4: That's great to two more as you meet with coaches

710
00:28:47,880 --> 00:28:49,920
Speaker 4: and scouts this week in meetings and then get out

711
00:28:49,960 --> 00:28:50,280

00:29:01,760 --> 00:29:05,480
Speaker 17: I feel like, especially you know, being at Rutgers and

718
00:29:05,760 --> 00:29:09,160
Speaker 17: being coached by Cochiano and Coach Flats and stuff, just

719
00:29:09,480 --> 00:29:11,479
Speaker 17: how they embedded, how they really just showed me how

720
00:29:11,520 --> 00:29:15,000
Speaker 17: to just play violent, you know, just you know, flipping

721
00:29:15,040 --> 00:29:17,080
Speaker 17: that switch and just you know, letting it loose and

722
00:29:17,280 --> 00:29:21,160
Speaker 17: you know, just going hard and finishing every single play.

723
00:29:21,680 --> 00:29:24,800
Speaker 17: That's definitely a big, big thing, Like I feel like

724
00:29:24,840 --> 00:29:27,640
Speaker 17: that make my game, That makes my game stand out.

725
00:29:27,960 --> 00:29:30,640
Speaker 4: Finally, who's the best pass rusher you faced this past

726
00:29:30,680 --> 00:29:32,200
Speaker 4: year in this draft class?

727
00:29:33,440 --> 00:29:34,680
Speaker 1: There's a lot of them in the Big ten.

728
00:29:34,760 --> 00:29:39,440
Speaker 17: Dude, Oh man, I would definitely say what's his name?

729
00:29:39,440 --> 00:29:43,680
Speaker 17: I think his name is Jared or from Minnesota, number seventeen.

730
00:29:44,200 --> 00:29:48,640
Speaker 17: He's really good. Yeah, he was really good. I mean

731
00:29:48,680 --> 00:29:49,560
Speaker 17: there's so many guys.

732
00:29:49,840 --> 00:29:51,480
Speaker 1: Did you guys have Ohio State or Penn State this

733
00:29:51,600 --> 00:29:52,720
Speaker 1: year or no you did not?

734
00:29:52,840 --> 00:29:55,080
Speaker 4: But last year you had Ohio State. Correct, if I'm

735
00:29:55,080 --> 00:29:59,280
Speaker 4: not mistaken in twenty three years. Yes, so I about

736
00:29:59,280 --> 00:29:59,800
Speaker 4: Sawyer and too.

737
00:30:00,600 --> 00:30:04,280
Speaker 17: Oh yeah, Jack Sawyer. That's my guy, very very very

738
00:30:04,360 --> 00:30:09,480
Speaker 17: good guy, very humble person right there. Yeah, locking him

739
00:30:09,560 --> 00:30:12,400
Speaker 17: is definitely difficult. You know, he has speed. He could

740
00:30:12,400 --> 00:30:14,520
Speaker 17: get off that edge fast, and he can also he

741
00:30:14,600 --> 00:30:16,800
Speaker 17: has both of both worlds, like he can he can

742
00:30:17,080 --> 00:30:19,040
Speaker 17: you know, get off the edge fast or he could

743
00:30:19,080 --> 00:30:21,040
Speaker 17: power USh you. You know, he has a he has

744
00:30:21,120 --> 00:30:23,440
Speaker 17: that versatility to his game where he can do both.

745
00:30:23,720 --> 00:30:26,800
Speaker 17: And that's always been, you know, very difficult for tackles

746
00:30:26,880 --> 00:30:30,360
Speaker 17: because you know when guys you know, you know, just

747
00:30:30,400 --> 00:30:31,720
Speaker 17: don't have one move, they could do a lot of

748
00:30:31,760 --> 00:30:32,280
Speaker 17: different things.

749
00:30:32,360 --> 00:30:35,560
Speaker 8: Definitely definitely makes it very very difficult.

750
00:30:36,240 --> 00:30:38,000
Speaker 1: And this is great man. Appreciate the time, best luck

751
00:30:38,040 --> 00:30:39,680

760
00:30:52,160 --> 00:30:53,320
Speaker 4: the reason you decided to transfer.

761
00:30:54,240 --> 00:30:54,479
Speaker 3: I had.

762
00:30:54,600 --> 00:30:56,800
Speaker 18: I had a great three years at little I mean

763
00:30:56,920 --> 00:30:59,760
Speaker 18: not Littleville but Alabama, you know, playing with cochav and

764
00:30:59,760 --> 00:31:02,960
Speaker 18: playing with the guys that was that was there and

765
00:31:03,040 --> 00:31:05,120
Speaker 18: that that entered the NFL.

766
00:31:05,280 --> 00:31:07,800
Speaker 3: You know, but I just, you know, doing that that

767
00:31:07,960 --> 00:31:08,840
Speaker 3: last third year of my.

768
00:31:08,920 --> 00:31:11,440
Speaker 18: Process, I had an injury that I was dealing with,

769
00:31:11,760 --> 00:31:15,200
Speaker 18: you know, just I just I just was a little

770
00:31:15,320 --> 00:31:18,560
Speaker 18: in that little downtime at the moment, and uh, just

771
00:31:18,640 --> 00:31:19,680
Speaker 18: trying to hit off the injury.

772
00:31:19,760 --> 00:31:23,120
Speaker 3: But doing that during that time, I mean, I was

773
00:31:23,200 --> 00:31:23,800
Speaker 3: just trying.

774
00:31:23,600 --> 00:31:26,520
Speaker 18: To think and you know, reflect on the season that

775
00:31:26,640 --> 00:31:28,800
Speaker 18: I and the years that I had before, and also

776
00:31:29,080 --> 00:31:32,680
Speaker 18: just wanted to showcase a little bit more of talenting

777
00:31:32,760 --> 00:31:35,440
Speaker 18: and more ability of what I can do on the field.

778
00:31:35,840 --> 00:31:38,400
Speaker 18: And you know, I'm thankful that Louisville gave me the

779
00:31:38,480 --> 00:31:42,000
Speaker 18: opportunity for me just to have brought in and be

780
00:31:42,080 --> 00:31:42,960
Speaker 18: a ball player for real.

781
00:31:43,480 --> 00:31:45,320
Speaker 1: That was in your season? What clicked for you?

782
00:31:45,440 --> 00:31:45,600
Speaker 8: Then?

783
00:31:45,640 --> 00:31:46,280
Speaker 1: Why did it work?

784
00:31:46,800 --> 00:31:49,240
Speaker 18: Uh, It's just it's just been a goal that I had,

785
00:31:49,400 --> 00:31:52,240
Speaker 18: you know, previous off seasons, even my freshman year coming

786
00:31:52,320 --> 00:31:53,880
Speaker 18: in just on to work.

787
00:31:53,800 --> 00:31:55,760
Speaker 3: Hard doing the off season.

788
00:31:55,880 --> 00:31:58,840
Speaker 18: You know, Brian, I really wasn't a stat chaser as

789
00:31:59,160 --> 00:32:01,440
Speaker 18: during the moment, I was just being what my feet is,

790
00:32:01,640 --> 00:32:05,400
Speaker 18: you know, playing every game game the game, going week

791
00:32:05,440 --> 00:32:08,920
Speaker 18: to week. But uh, just for the I guess, the

792
00:32:09,000 --> 00:32:10,720
Speaker 18: hard work and the grind, you know, believing in the

793
00:32:10,800 --> 00:32:11,840
Speaker 18: coaching and the quarterback.

794
00:32:11,920 --> 00:32:13,920
Speaker 3: And you know, we had a great season this year.

795
00:32:14,040 --> 00:32:16,920
Speaker 3: So it all, it all, it all summed out.

796
00:32:16,960 --> 00:32:19,800
Speaker 4: Well, yeah, you mentioned it always helps hooking up with

797
00:32:19,800 --> 00:32:21,600
Speaker 4: a pretty good quarterback, right, and then Tyler had a

798
00:32:21,640 --> 00:32:23,680
Speaker 4: good year. We're going to see him a little later

799
00:32:23,720 --> 00:32:25,480
Speaker 4: on at the Senior Bowl next week. What was it

800
00:32:25,600 --> 00:32:27,080
Speaker 4: like connecting with him? But what was it like playing

801
00:32:27,080 --> 00:32:28,000
Speaker 4: with him as your quarterback?

802
00:32:28,360 --> 00:32:30,440
Speaker 18: Tyler is a is a great dude off the field man.

803
00:32:30,480 --> 00:32:31,960
Speaker 18: You know when I when I first came when we

804
00:32:32,080 --> 00:32:34,960
Speaker 18: both first came in. You know, we're the new transfers

805
00:32:35,040 --> 00:32:39,400
Speaker 18: and we've been in great programs beforehand, you know, older guys,

806
00:32:39,440 --> 00:32:40,960
Speaker 18: so we had to come in and be a leader

807
00:32:41,400 --> 00:32:42,040
Speaker 18: and step up.

808
00:32:42,160 --> 00:32:42,400
Speaker 19: You know.

809
00:32:43,120 --> 00:32:45,800
Speaker 18: So going our off season that screen time, I was

810
00:32:45,840 --> 00:32:49,280
Speaker 18: still dealing with my injury, still coming back healthy and stronger.

811
00:32:49,320 --> 00:32:52,000
Speaker 18: But he was always there, you know, off the field,

812
00:32:52,160 --> 00:32:53,080
Speaker 18: getting the playbook.

813
00:32:53,160 --> 00:32:53,360
Speaker 2: You know.

814
00:32:55,160 --> 00:32:57,880
Speaker 18: When I when I was not even a bit available

815
00:32:58,000 --> 00:33:00,520
Speaker 18: to you know, be on the field with guys. I

816
00:33:00,680 --> 00:33:03,040
Speaker 18: used to see him just always over coaching in the

817
00:33:03,120 --> 00:33:05,440
Speaker 18: film room. But Tyler's a great guy. You know when

818
00:33:05,480 --> 00:33:07,480
Speaker 18: he and when we hit the field, he bring great energy.

819
00:33:08,080 --> 00:33:10,840
Speaker 18: So I feel like a team you need a quarterback

820
00:33:10,920 --> 00:33:11,080
Speaker 18: like that.

821
00:33:11,800 --> 00:33:13,240
Speaker 1: You're primarily an outside receiver.

822
00:33:14,040 --> 00:33:16,920
Speaker 4: What do you think the most important traits and aspects

823
00:33:17,000 --> 00:33:19,200
Speaker 4: are for a receiver to be successful as a guy

824
00:33:19,280 --> 00:33:21,560
Speaker 4: that plays outside, not so much in the slot.

825
00:33:22,200 --> 00:33:25,160
Speaker 18: Uh, just for a guy to play outside, you just

826
00:33:25,200 --> 00:33:28,160
Speaker 18: got to have those inside abilities, you know, you gotta have.

827
00:33:28,240 --> 00:33:30,320
Speaker 3: You gotta be able to do what the little guys can't.

828
00:33:30,160 --> 00:33:32,880
Speaker 18: Do inside, to be able to be more dominant outside,

829
00:33:32,920 --> 00:33:36,040
Speaker 18: because I mean I've been playing outside my mostly my

830
00:33:36,120 --> 00:33:36,600
Speaker 18: whole life.

831
00:33:36,640 --> 00:33:38,040
Speaker 3: You know, I've been in the slot in and out.

832
00:33:38,120 --> 00:33:41,400
Speaker 3: But uh, and then just just me trying.

833
00:33:41,160 --> 00:33:42,680
Speaker 18: To fit in with the little guys and say I

834
00:33:42,720 --> 00:33:45,200
Speaker 18: could do it too, you know how run after catching it,

835
00:33:45,440 --> 00:33:45,600
Speaker 18: you know.

836
00:33:45,760 --> 00:33:48,120
Speaker 3: But I feel like that all improves the.

837
00:33:48,200 --> 00:33:51,040
Speaker 18: Game as well, you know, just being on the outside,

838
00:33:51,120 --> 00:33:53,400
Speaker 18: being dominant that X or the Z receiver.

839
00:33:54,400 --> 00:33:57,760
Speaker 1: So yeah, what do you want to show coaches this week?

840
00:33:57,800 --> 00:33:59,920
Speaker 4: What are your kind of internal goals you set for yourself,

841
00:34:00,120 --> 00:34:01,320
Speaker 4: you want to showcase in practice.

842
00:34:01,760 --> 00:34:04,160
Speaker 18: I would pretty want to show everything, you know, my

843
00:34:04,240 --> 00:34:08,520
Speaker 18: ability to blog, to play special teams, to receive the

844
00:34:08,600 --> 00:34:10,680
Speaker 18: ball on special teams, no matter of his punt return,

845
00:34:10,840 --> 00:34:14,560
Speaker 18: kick return, you know, and just just be a just

846
00:34:14,640 --> 00:34:17,440
Speaker 18: be a guy that'll stand out. This week, the catuat

847
00:34:17,680 --> 00:34:21,120
Speaker 18: is between the spriants. You speed everything and all the

848
00:34:21,280 --> 00:34:22,600
Speaker 18: all in one one vote.

849
00:34:23,160 --> 00:34:25,480
Speaker 4: Final question, what did you take out of your time

850
00:34:25,560 --> 00:34:28,600
Speaker 4: with Coach Saban that made you a better football player

851
00:34:28,640 --> 00:34:29,680
Speaker 4: and maybe even a better person.

852
00:34:30,200 --> 00:34:32,920
Speaker 18: Uh, it's something that always stuck to me that he

853
00:34:33,080 --> 00:34:35,200
Speaker 18: that he said when I first got there as a freshman,

854
00:34:35,800 --> 00:34:38,160
Speaker 18: and he you you know that, I feel like it's

855
00:34:38,160 --> 00:34:40,920
Speaker 18: stick with me everyday life. You know, he said, you know,

856
00:34:41,040 --> 00:34:43,279
Speaker 18: you wake up with a choice. Everybody wake up with

857
00:34:43,360 --> 00:34:45,120
Speaker 18: a choice. So you wake up choose to want to

858
00:34:45,160 --> 00:34:47,800
Speaker 18: come to practice, and he don't. He never forced nobody

859
00:34:47,840 --> 00:34:49,440
Speaker 18: to come to practice. You don't want to come to practice,

860
00:34:49,440 --> 00:34:51,880
Speaker 18: don't show up, and you see, you know the outcome

861
00:34:51,920 --> 00:34:55,600
Speaker 18: after that, But doing just being just having a choice

862
00:34:55,640 --> 00:34:58,319
Speaker 18: to come in and being able to you know, being

863
00:34:58,360 --> 00:35:01,120
Speaker 18: able to be around coach Sabing and the other players

864
00:35:01,160 --> 00:35:03,440
Speaker 18: that was there, like Bryce Young, Jada Mirrow and stuff

865
00:35:03,520 --> 00:35:03,680
Speaker 18: like that.

866
00:35:03,880 --> 00:35:06,320
Speaker 3: So it was a great It was a great experience

867
00:35:06,400 --> 00:35:08,160
Speaker 3: with him and with them my three years there, and

868
00:35:08,200 --> 00:35:08,680
Speaker 3: I loved it.

869
00:35:09,360 --> 00:35:11,960
Speaker 1: Get in here, if you're lined up here, you gotta

870
00:35:12,000 --> 00:35:14,120
Speaker 1: go over the middle with at the score great.

871
00:35:14,640 --> 00:35:15,640
Speaker 7: How do we make that happen?

872
00:35:16,520 --> 00:35:18,520
Speaker 8: I don't know, but citizen does?

873
00:35:19,080 --> 00:35:22,560
Speaker 12: It makes sense of your money with citizens Official Bank

874
00:35:22,719 --> 00:35:23,600
Speaker 12: of Eli Manning.

875
00:35:23,880 --> 00:35:26,759
Speaker 1: We're joined by Michigan State offensive Lineman Luke Newman Looke.

876
00:35:26,800 --> 00:35:27,319
Speaker 3: How are you man?

877
00:35:27,600 --> 00:35:28,320
Speaker 8: I'm great? How are you?

878
00:35:28,560 --> 00:35:30,200
Speaker 4: I'm doing good. So you were four years in holy

879
00:35:30,280 --> 00:35:32,239
Speaker 4: Cross and then you went up to Michigan State. What

880
00:35:32,400 --> 00:35:33,520
Speaker 4: was that jump like for you?

881
00:35:33,680 --> 00:35:34,360
Speaker 1: In competition?

882
00:35:35,719 --> 00:35:37,000
Speaker 14: It was a pretty significant one.

883
00:35:37,120 --> 00:35:37,279
Speaker 11: You know.

884
00:35:37,560 --> 00:35:39,080
Speaker 19: You definitely played with a lot of guys who are

885
00:35:39,120 --> 00:35:41,880
Speaker 19: better with their hands, better at utilizing their leverage, and

886
00:35:42,000 --> 00:35:45,600
Speaker 19: really just their skills, you know, throughout a day to

887
00:35:45,680 --> 00:35:48,239
Speaker 19: day basis and practicing and games. And I think really

888
00:35:48,360 --> 00:35:51,320
Speaker 19: suggesting to that was quite fun and challenging at the

889
00:35:51,360 --> 00:35:51,839
Speaker 19: same time.

890
00:35:52,320 --> 00:35:54,000
Speaker 14: And I think once I really hit a groove with

891
00:35:54,160 --> 00:35:55,240
Speaker 14: you know, I'm.

892
00:35:55,120 --> 00:35:57,400
Speaker 19: Handling a big ten competition very similarly like I did

893
00:35:57,480 --> 00:35:58,480
Speaker 19: Patriotic competition.

894
00:35:59,200 --> 00:36:00,520
Speaker 14: I think that's really what I started to have a

895
00:36:00,560 --> 00:36:01,239
Speaker 14: lot of fun this year.

896
00:36:01,760 --> 00:36:03,960
Speaker 4: Is there something about just wanting to be an offensive

897
00:36:03,960 --> 00:36:04,839
Speaker 4: lineman in the Big ten?

898
00:36:04,880 --> 00:36:05,040
Speaker 3: Two?

899
00:36:05,120 --> 00:36:06,759
Speaker 4: You know, it's not like going to the SEC. It's

900
00:36:06,800 --> 00:36:08,799
Speaker 4: a little bit different like the Big Ten. Like it's

901
00:36:09,040 --> 00:36:11,920
Speaker 4: running the ball, cold weather and hard those football right.

902
00:36:12,160 --> 00:36:14,040
Speaker 19: Yeah, No, the Big Ten has an identity to it,

903
00:36:14,160 --> 00:36:17,160
Speaker 19: and that's you know, you play cold weather games three

904
00:36:17,200 --> 00:36:19,680
Speaker 19: months of the year, and all those games you want

905
00:36:19,680 --> 00:36:20,160
Speaker 19: to run the ball.

906
00:36:20,239 --> 00:36:21,040
Speaker 14: You run the ball, you win.

907
00:36:21,239 --> 00:36:23,760
Speaker 19: And I'm a big believer in that, And it's exactly

908
00:36:23,880 --> 00:36:26,360
Speaker 19: what I want to pride myself on doing in college

909
00:36:26,400 --> 00:36:28,680
Speaker 19: and in the NFL, and hopefully I find myself in

910
00:36:28,760 --> 00:36:29,839
Speaker 19: the team that thinks the same way.

911
00:36:30,440 --> 00:36:30,560
Speaker 10: Now.

912
00:36:30,640 --> 00:36:32,360
Speaker 4: It was also a position shift for you, right, you

913
00:36:32,400 --> 00:36:34,359
Speaker 4: played left tackle on Holy Cross. You got to Michigan State,

914
00:36:34,400 --> 00:36:36,960
Speaker 4: you played left guard. What was that transition like for

915
00:36:37,000 --> 00:36:39,360
Speaker 4: you and what were the biggest challenges of moving inside?

916
00:36:39,800 --> 00:36:43,000
Speaker 19: Certainly so it was it was challenging from a cerebral sense,

917
00:36:43,080 --> 00:36:46,440
Speaker 19: just as it was a physical I would say playing

918
00:36:46,480 --> 00:36:48,279
Speaker 19: on the interior or the offensive line, you got to

919
00:36:48,360 --> 00:36:50,680
Speaker 19: utilize your leverage in your inside hands a lot more

920
00:36:50,760 --> 00:36:52,320
Speaker 19: than you what you do at tackle. You know, you

921
00:36:52,440 --> 00:36:56,120
Speaker 19: play a lot bigger guys that had it easier pats

922
00:36:56,160 --> 00:36:59,000
Speaker 19: at the quarterback, and you know, stoning in at the

923
00:36:59,040 --> 00:37:00,920
Speaker 19: offensive line, being able to move him off the ball

924
00:37:01,080 --> 00:37:03,719
Speaker 19: requires a lot more emphasis on your hand placement and

925
00:37:03,760 --> 00:37:06,160
Speaker 19: your pad level. And I would definitely say that was

926
00:37:06,200 --> 00:37:09,360
Speaker 19: the biggest adjustment transitioning and said, yeah, I.

927
00:37:09,400 --> 00:37:12,439
Speaker 4: Know, the the general opinion from people that haven't played

928
00:37:12,440 --> 00:37:14,880
Speaker 4: the position is like, oh, your tackle, just move inside

929
00:37:14,880 --> 00:37:17,400
Speaker 4: the guard is less space, it's easier, But you just

930
00:37:17,520 --> 00:37:18,040
Speaker 4: mentioned something.

931
00:37:18,040 --> 00:37:19,880
Speaker 1: The guys get on you a lot quicker right is

932
00:37:19,920 --> 00:37:20,680
Speaker 1: not enough space.

933
00:37:20,760 --> 00:37:23,640
Speaker 4: So it's not maybe a different skill set, but it's

934
00:37:23,640 --> 00:37:25,840
Speaker 4: certainly different things you have to be better at in

935
00:37:25,960 --> 00:37:27,080
Speaker 4: order to succeed inside right.

936
00:37:27,719 --> 00:37:30,320
Speaker 19: Yeah, and you know, definitely from day one, you know

937
00:37:30,360 --> 00:37:34,120
Speaker 19: we're Empson leverage, Emson pad level. But also it really

938
00:37:34,200 --> 00:37:36,600
Speaker 19: just takes a different mental approach to be really like, okay,

939
00:37:36,719 --> 00:37:38,600
Speaker 19: I cannot have any gift with this guy at the

940
00:37:38,640 --> 00:37:41,160
Speaker 19: offensive line. You know, he's gotten easier shot with the

941
00:37:41,200 --> 00:37:43,320
Speaker 19: quarterback than dns do. When you can, you know, you

942
00:37:43,360 --> 00:37:46,239
Speaker 19: can give a little ground. But I would definitely say

943
00:37:46,280 --> 00:37:47,759
Speaker 19: that was a bit of an adjustment to kind of

944
00:37:47,840 --> 00:37:50,359
Speaker 19: work towards, uh, you know, playing in the Big ten

945
00:37:50,440 --> 00:37:52,879
Speaker 19: and playing guard. But you know I got issued pretty

946
00:37:52,920 --> 00:37:54,840
Speaker 19: quickly and found some success doing it.

947
00:37:55,239 --> 00:37:57,600
Speaker 4: Yeah, and I know these services PFF said, you gave

948
00:37:57,680 --> 00:38:00,560
Speaker 4: up zero sacks this year. So why do you think

949
00:38:00,600 --> 00:38:02,520
Speaker 4: you were able to make the adjustment and have the

950
00:38:02,600 --> 00:38:05,000
Speaker 4: type of success you did have. What is it about

951
00:38:05,040 --> 00:38:07,200
Speaker 4: either the way you were coached, the way you worked,

952
00:38:07,239 --> 00:38:08,000
Speaker 4: your personality?

953
00:38:08,120 --> 00:38:10,080
Speaker 1: Just why do you think it clicked for you so quickly?

954
00:38:10,320 --> 00:38:13,080
Speaker 19: Yeah, it'd be tough to give me myself all the credit.

955
00:38:13,200 --> 00:38:16,439
Speaker 19: I had a great, tremendous coaching staff that was helping

956
00:38:16,480 --> 00:38:18,040
Speaker 19: me every step in the way ever since I set

957
00:38:18,120 --> 00:38:21,280
Speaker 19: foot there in May. Being able to instill the playbook

958
00:38:21,760 --> 00:38:23,880
Speaker 19: in me from a very early standpoint. Just teaching me

959
00:38:23,920 --> 00:38:26,640
Speaker 19: a different position took a lot of work on their end,

960
00:38:26,800 --> 00:38:30,000
Speaker 19: and I'm very grateful for that. And really just in

961
00:38:30,120 --> 00:38:33,160
Speaker 19: terms of just sticking to what I was taught, trusting

962
00:38:33,200 --> 00:38:35,799
Speaker 19: the guys that I played next to really just went

963
00:38:35,880 --> 00:38:37,719
Speaker 19: hand in hand. As you know, how I find some

964
00:38:37,840 --> 00:38:39,560
Speaker 19: success pass blocking this year.

965
00:38:39,880 --> 00:38:41,640
Speaker 1: Now, as you go to the next level, do you

966
00:38:41,680 --> 00:38:44,800
Speaker 1: still see yourself as a guard? You played tackles?

967
00:38:44,840 --> 00:38:47,160
Speaker 4: You obviously do a good feet Maybe could center possibly

968
00:38:47,320 --> 00:38:47,960
Speaker 4: something you try.

969
00:38:48,400 --> 00:38:50,279
Speaker 1: What are teams saying to these interviews in terms of

970
00:38:50,320 --> 00:38:51,720
Speaker 1: where they see you landing in the pros?

971
00:38:52,160 --> 00:38:54,799
Speaker 19: Yeah, so playing dart is great, but showing as much

972
00:38:54,920 --> 00:38:57,600
Speaker 19: versatility as you can is, you know, key to kind

973
00:38:57,640 --> 00:39:00,839
Speaker 19: of thriving in this league you not just survive. And Yeah,

974
00:39:00,920 --> 00:39:03,919
Speaker 19: definitely playing center something I've I've repped a whole bunch

975
00:39:03,960 --> 00:39:07,320
Speaker 19: at Michigan State and practice in the summer, and definitely

976
00:39:07,360 --> 00:39:09,400
Speaker 19: something I've been continuing to grow and get better at

977
00:39:09,480 --> 00:39:13,160
Speaker 19: as this training and draft process has gone along, and

978
00:39:13,239 --> 00:39:14,879
Speaker 19: something I'll look to do a lot this week.

979
00:39:15,239 --> 00:39:18,120
Speaker 1: What are your personal goals for your meetings and on

980

00:39:22,880 --> 00:39:24,640
Speaker 19: of football knowledge and a short amount of time and

983
00:39:24,840 --> 00:39:27,279
Speaker 19: display it on the football field and really just be

984

00:40:09,480 --> 00:40:12,240
Speaker 12: at Iowa, and there's a lot of things that are similar.

1006
00:40:12,320 --> 00:40:15,520
Speaker 12: So yeah, definitely, it's definitely a great, great place to

1007

1009
00:40:20,640 --> 00:40:21,720
Speaker 1: You have to deal with some injuries.

1010
00:40:21,760 --> 00:40:23,759
Speaker 4: Unfortunately over your time in Iowa as you meet with

1011
00:40:23,920 --> 00:40:26,160
Speaker 4: some of these teams, is one of these You're trying

1012
00:40:26,160 --> 00:40:27,680
Speaker 4: to get across to them like all right, just don't

1013
00:40:27,719 --> 00:40:29,960
Speaker 4: look at the numbers of the production, Like, if I

1014
00:40:30,000 --> 00:40:32,480
Speaker 4: didn't have these circumstances, they it could be a lot

1015
00:40:32,520 --> 00:40:33,359
Speaker 4: better than what they look.

1016
00:40:33,280 --> 00:40:35,400
Speaker 12: On paper, for sure. You know, I'm just really just

1017
00:40:35,440 --> 00:40:37,240
Speaker 12: trying to get the point across. I'm feeling healthy.

1018
00:40:37,719 --> 00:40:41,560
Speaker 6: It doesn't bother me anymore. And yeah, just I feel great.

1019
00:40:41,680 --> 00:40:42,520
Speaker 8: So that's the point.

1020
00:40:42,600 --> 00:40:44,040
Speaker 6: The point I'm really trying to get across.

1021
00:40:44,120 --> 00:40:46,760
Speaker 12: I I know how I feel with you know, production

1022
00:40:46,880 --> 00:40:49,440
Speaker 12: and everything, and uh, you know, I feel confident in

1023
00:40:49,480 --> 00:40:49,880
Speaker 12: the future.

1024
00:40:50,040 --> 00:40:51,040
Speaker 6: My best footballs ahead of me.

1025
00:40:51,040 --> 00:40:54,239
Speaker 4: In the song, Now, obviously Iowa has turns out tight

1026
00:40:54,360 --> 00:40:57,239
Speaker 4: ends like nothing like the number of players that have

1027
00:40:57,320 --> 00:40:59,080
Speaker 4: come out of that position. What is it about that

1028
00:40:59,160 --> 00:41:01,359
Speaker 4: program in the way they teach that position. You think

1029
00:41:01,480 --> 00:41:03,640
Speaker 4: that allows him to produce as many great tight ends

1030
00:41:03,680 --> 00:41:03,960
Speaker 4: as they have.

1031
00:41:04,080 --> 00:41:04,279
Speaker 8: Yeah.

1032
00:41:04,280 --> 00:41:07,920
Speaker 12: Absolutely, it's a testament to coach Farence. He's uh, you know,

1033
00:41:08,200 --> 00:41:10,200
Speaker 12: as long as he's there, they're always going to be

1034
00:41:10,360 --> 00:41:13,920
Speaker 12: you know, tight ends focused in the offense. And you know,

1035
00:41:14,239 --> 00:41:16,640
Speaker 12: it's the kind of people that he recruits. I'm super

1036
00:41:16,680 --> 00:41:19,200
Speaker 12: close with everybody in there, and they do a really

1037
00:41:19,200 --> 00:41:21,160
Speaker 12: great job with that. And then you know, it's really

1038
00:41:21,200 --> 00:41:23,440
Speaker 12: a testament to everyone that's been through there. They work

1039
00:41:23,520 --> 00:41:26,680
Speaker 12: extremely hard and you know, we just try to go

1040
00:41:26,800 --> 00:41:28,640
Speaker 12: and be the best players that we can be, and

1041
00:41:28,760 --> 00:41:30,120
Speaker 12: that's that's really all it comes down to.

1042
00:41:30,760 --> 00:41:33,040
Speaker 4: And they also make sure that you're just not going

1043
00:41:33,120 --> 00:41:35,480
Speaker 4: to be a receiver too, right, Like I look at

1044
00:41:35,480 --> 00:41:36,920
Speaker 4: all these tight ends here and you look at all right,

1045
00:41:36,920 --> 00:41:38,799
Speaker 4: how much do they want to outside? How much in line?

1046
00:41:38,840 --> 00:41:40,880
Speaker 4: I'm like, you think, like eighty percent in line? Are

1047
00:41:40,920 --> 00:41:43,800
Speaker 4: so ridiculous like that? How much pride does the programming

1048
00:41:43,920 --> 00:41:45,800
Speaker 4: you take in the blocking part of the position?

1049
00:41:45,920 --> 00:41:46,440
Speaker 3: Absolutely?

1050
00:41:46,719 --> 00:41:48,879
Speaker 12: Our coach Hodge will say, you can't play at IOWA

1051
00:41:48,920 --> 00:41:51,840
Speaker 12: if you can't block. So you know that's that's a

1052
00:41:51,880 --> 00:41:53,600
Speaker 12: big thing that we take a lot of pride in.

1053
00:41:53,719 --> 00:41:56,719
Speaker 12: And yeah, I mean it's a lot of fun, you know,

1054
00:41:57,160 --> 00:41:58,839
Speaker 12: being a part of an offense that we do run

1055
00:41:58,960 --> 00:42:02,080
Speaker 12: the ball and we get to block. So you know,

1056
00:42:02,160 --> 00:42:05,000
Speaker 12: it's something I'm very excited to do and uh, something

1057
00:42:05,040 --> 00:42:06,359
Speaker 12: I look forward to doing every time.

1058
00:42:06,880 --> 00:42:09,040
Speaker 4: So had practice go today. You caught that nice little

1059
00:42:09,120 --> 00:42:11,960
Speaker 4: seam in traffic, n nice grab. How do you think

1060
00:42:12,000 --> 00:42:13,600
Speaker 4: that went for you? Kind of first time out trying

1061
00:42:13,600 --> 00:42:16,040
Speaker 4: to translate meeting to field for the first time this week?

1062
00:42:16,160 --> 00:42:16,799
Speaker 3: Yeah, it was good.

1063
00:42:17,000 --> 00:42:20,040
Speaker 12: You know, everyone's still learning, and you know it, it

1064
00:42:20,120 --> 00:42:21,600
Speaker 12: was a lot of fun to be able to go

1065
00:42:21,680 --> 00:42:24,480
Speaker 12: out there and you know, actually compete against each other.

1066
00:42:24,680 --> 00:42:26,520
Speaker 8: So it was fun though.

1067
00:42:26,560 --> 00:42:29,160
Speaker 12: I enjoyed, you know, finally getting to play with my

1068
00:42:29,239 --> 00:42:32,040
Speaker 12: teammates and go against you know, my teammates, uh, you

1069
00:42:32,120 --> 00:42:32,759
Speaker 12: know for the game.

1070
00:42:32,920 --> 00:42:34,319
Speaker 8: So uh yeah, I'm just.

1071
00:42:34,360 --> 00:42:37,719
Speaker 12: I'm excited for the opportunity and looking forward to continuing

1072
00:42:37,719 --> 00:42:39,440
Speaker 12: to go out every day and making the most of it.

1073
00:42:39,800 --> 00:42:41,600
Speaker 1: What has it been like having Shane Bowen as your

1074
00:42:41,600 --> 00:42:42,040
Speaker 1: head coach?

1075
00:42:42,440 --> 00:42:42,879
Speaker 3: That's cool.

1076
00:42:43,280 --> 00:42:47,400
Speaker 12: Coach Bowen's a great guy, and you know, he's he's

1077
00:42:47,400 --> 00:42:49,279
Speaker 12: a great coach and from what I've known from the

00:42:49,360 --> 00:42:52,600
Speaker 12: last you know, forty eight hours of really knowing him.

1079
00:42:52,640 --> 00:42:55,600

1080
00:42:55,640 --> 00:42:58,000
Speaker 12: to win, and we all want to win. And I

1081
00:42:58,080 --> 00:43:00,680
Speaker 12: think that, you know, really is really telling for you know,

1082
00:43:00,840 --> 00:43:03,800
Speaker 12: this this game. And yeah, we're just excited to be

00:43:03,840 --> 00:43:05,319
Speaker 12: I'm excited to get to learn from the movie.

1084
00:43:05,480 --> 00:43:07,600
Speaker 4: So we talked already about what you want to tell

1085
00:43:07,719 --> 00:43:09,560
Speaker 4: these teams in the meetings with them when you get

1086
00:43:09,600 --> 00:43:11,640
Speaker 4: on the field, What part of your physical skill set,

1087
00:43:11,719 --> 00:43:13,960
Speaker 4: what you do that you want to show teams and

1088
00:43:14,040 --> 00:43:15,759
Speaker 4: evaluate as all right, you might not think I can

1089
00:43:15,840 --> 00:43:17,839
Speaker 4: do this, but I'm better at this than you might think.

1090
00:43:18,000 --> 00:43:19,799
Speaker 12: Yeah, I really am just trying to go out there

1091
00:43:19,840 --> 00:43:22,160
Speaker 12: and show my past catching ability and my route running,

1092

00:43:25,040 --> 00:43:27,120
Speaker 12: and so I want to go out there and show

1094
00:43:27,160 --> 00:43:28,680
Speaker 12: everybody what I can do in that area.

1095
00:43:29,400 --> 00:43:32,520
Speaker 4: Any tight ends that you study a lot and base

1096
00:43:32,560 --> 00:43:33,160
Speaker 4: your game off of.

1097
00:43:33,360 --> 00:43:36,239
Speaker 12: Yeah, I study Sam Reporter a lot. Sam's one of

1098
00:43:36,280 --> 00:43:39,080
Speaker 12: my best friends, your teammates for three years. So being

1099
00:43:39,120 --> 00:43:41,640
Speaker 12: able to to to play with him and you know

1100
00:43:41,719 --> 00:43:44,520
Speaker 12: see how he operated helped me a lot. And uh,

1101
00:43:44,680 --> 00:43:47,520
Speaker 12: seeing how he does things super helpful too. And then

1102
00:43:47,880 --> 00:43:50,000
Speaker 12: I was just watching him. He's very successful for the Lions,

1103
00:43:50,080 --> 00:43:52,320
Speaker 12: so it's a lot of fun to see how he

1104
00:43:52,400 --> 00:43:52,640
Speaker 12: does it.

1105
00:43:52,960 --> 00:43:54,840
Speaker 4: Finally, what if any advice has he given to you

1106
00:43:54,960 --> 00:43:57,480
Speaker 4: about going through this process over the next three months

1107
00:43:57,520 --> 00:44:00,840
Speaker 4: so you maximize all your opportunities that that are presented

1108
00:44:00,880 --> 00:44:01,000
Speaker 4: to you.

1109
00:44:01,239 --> 00:44:03,200
Speaker 12: Yeah, he just you know, told me to work extremely hard,

1110
00:44:03,280 --> 00:44:06,160
Speaker 12: and he told me interviews would be great, a great

1111
00:44:06,200 --> 00:44:08,600
Speaker 12: opportunity for me to get to know everybody and uh

1112
00:44:08,640 --> 00:44:10,400
Speaker 12: and for them to get to know me, So just

1113
00:44:10,480 --> 00:44:12,360
Speaker 12: trying to, you know, be my best, the best.

1114
00:44:12,239 --> 00:44:14,200
Speaker 6: Version of myself any opportunity I can.

1115
00:44:14,360 --> 00:44:16,719
Speaker 3: And uh yeah, just just having fun with it all.

1116
00:44:17,000 --> 00:44:18,879
Speaker 1: Well, good luck, man, we appreciate it. Thanks so much,

1117
00:44:18,920 --> 00:44:19,600
Speaker 1: Thank you very much.

1118
00:44:19,880 --> 00:44:22,399
Speaker 4: All right, now we're joined by Minnesota quarterback Max Prosper Max.

1119
00:44:22,440 --> 00:44:23,200
Speaker 4: How was practiced today?

1120
00:44:23,200 --> 00:44:23,279
Speaker 2: Man?

1121
00:44:23,280 --> 00:44:23,560
Speaker 1: How to go?

1122
00:44:23,760 --> 00:44:24,239
Speaker 3: It was fun?

1123
00:44:24,280 --> 00:44:25,840
Speaker 20: It was It was good getting on the field for

1124
00:44:25,920 --> 00:44:27,799
Speaker 20: the first time with the guys. You know, we're all

1125
00:44:27,840 --> 00:44:30,759
Speaker 20: adjustin pretty quickly on the fly. So I thought the

1126
00:44:30,880 --> 00:44:32,160
Speaker 20: I thought the West team did a good job Toda

1127
00:44:32,160 --> 00:44:33,080
Speaker 20: adjustin pretty quickly.

1128
00:44:33,239 --> 00:44:34,640
Speaker 4: And I got to imagine, I've talked to some of

1129
00:44:34,680 --> 00:44:36,399
Speaker 4: the other guys in the positions about trying to learn

1130
00:44:36,400 --> 00:44:38,520
Speaker 4: an NFL system in forty eight hours. I imagine for

1131
00:44:38,560 --> 00:44:40,760
Speaker 4: the quarterback you can multiply that times like one hundred.

1132
00:44:41,040 --> 00:44:42,920
Speaker 4: So what has it been like trying to get all

1133
00:44:43,000 --> 00:44:45,839
Speaker 4: this terminology down in such a quick period of time.

1134
00:44:46,040 --> 00:44:48,920
Speaker 20: A lot of us run similar concepts. I think it's

1135
00:44:48,960 --> 00:44:51,360
Speaker 20: a way of the little nuanced parts of the routes.

1136
00:44:51,400 --> 00:44:54,360
Speaker 20: It's it's the verbiage that like is completely different. Speaking

1137
00:44:54,360 --> 00:44:57,160
Speaker 20: of new language to the language pieces is the biggest piece,

1138
00:44:57,160 --> 00:44:59,680
Speaker 20: I think for the quarterbacks and understanding like for the

1139
00:44:59,719 --> 00:45:02,360
Speaker 20: old like exactly what we're trying to accomplis in the

1140
00:45:02,400 --> 00:45:04,360
Speaker 20: run game and putting them on the right spot to

1141
00:45:04,480 --> 00:45:07,759
Speaker 20: be as successful as possible up front, both in the

1142
00:45:07,800 --> 00:45:10,160
Speaker 20: past game and the run game, and then also making

1143
00:45:10,239 --> 00:45:12,880
Speaker 20: sure that your receivers are lined up, you know on

1144
00:45:13,000 --> 00:45:16,319
Speaker 20: the NFL, you know, alignments of the field, not the college.

1145
00:45:16,360 --> 00:45:18,160
Speaker 20: We had struggled with that today because we're lined up

1146
00:45:18,160 --> 00:45:20,840
Speaker 20: on the numbers on the outside. But it's different, so

1147
00:45:20,920 --> 00:45:23,520
Speaker 20: we're all adjusting together. It's been a fun process. We're

1148
00:45:23,560 --> 00:45:26,360
Speaker 20: with the quarterbacks and also you know, blending and messing

1149
00:45:26,400 --> 00:45:27,839
Speaker 20: with the guys at the same time where we can

1150
00:45:27,880 --> 00:45:28,760
Speaker 20: all kind of do it together.

1151
00:45:29,000 --> 00:45:30,880
Speaker 4: Are you doing protection calls with the line based on

1152
00:45:30,920 --> 00:45:32,800
Speaker 4: what the defense shows you in the team stuff?

1153
00:45:32,920 --> 00:45:33,719
Speaker 3: Right? I don't, you know.

1154
00:45:33,760 --> 00:45:36,480
Speaker 20: I think the shrinebile we're not allowed to blitz, so

1155
00:45:36,719 --> 00:45:41,120
Speaker 20: it doesn't really matter per se, but communicating, like I

1156
00:45:41,200 --> 00:45:43,600
Speaker 20: love casual conversation with a line of scrimmage. Run games

1157
00:45:43,600 --> 00:45:45,200
Speaker 20: a little different because might have to change the idea

1158
00:45:45,239 --> 00:45:47,600
Speaker 20: and run game, so that happened a few times today.

1159
00:45:48,600 --> 00:45:50,080
Speaker 20: But I love being able to go up there and

1160
00:45:50,239 --> 00:45:52,520
Speaker 20: like instead of streaming out the guys when hey go

1161
00:45:52,600 --> 00:45:56,800
Speaker 20: to forty five, go to forty five instead of easy.

1162
00:45:57,520 --> 00:45:59,520
Speaker 20: So I love being casual upfront with the guys, and

1163
00:46:00,160 --> 00:46:02,000
Speaker 20: that feels very nfl ish to me.

1164
00:46:02,960 --> 00:46:05,600
Speaker 4: So you were transfer right, You went from New Hampshire

1165
00:46:05,640 --> 00:46:07,880
Speaker 4: there for a long time, went to Minnesota. So what

1166
00:46:08,080 --> 00:46:10,080
Speaker 4: was that decision making process? Like you're in New Hampshire

1167
00:46:10,080 --> 00:46:12,480
Speaker 4: for a while, you know, long time, That's what I'm saying.

1168
00:46:12,520 --> 00:46:14,719
Speaker 4: So to make that move, why'd you decide to do it?

1169
00:46:15,080 --> 00:46:17,359
Speaker 20: I didn't want to leave number one, Like I felt

1170
00:46:17,400 --> 00:46:19,560
Speaker 20: that out New Hampshire was home. I went there because

1171
00:46:19,560 --> 00:46:22,040
Speaker 20: of the people and then I'm leaving the people that

1172
00:46:22,120 --> 00:46:22,880
Speaker 20: I went to.

1173
00:46:22,920 --> 00:46:25,920
Speaker 2: The school for but full support they all. I was like, hey,

1174
00:46:25,960 --> 00:46:26,520
Speaker 2: what should I do?

1175
00:46:26,600 --> 00:46:28,279
Speaker 20: And the coaching staff my team was like, you guys,

1176
00:46:28,560 --> 00:46:30,880
Speaker 20: you should go test the portal out. If nothing comes up,

1177
00:46:30,920 --> 00:46:32,560
Speaker 20: then just come back to New Hampshire for here last season.

1178
00:46:32,600 --> 00:46:35,319
Speaker 10: So I went into it with you know, I was.

1179
00:46:35,320 --> 00:46:37,080
Speaker 20: Going to go and if I felt a good gut

1180
00:46:37,120 --> 00:46:39,080
Speaker 20: feeling about a school, then I would go. And so

1181
00:46:39,160 --> 00:46:42,200
Speaker 20: I visited Minnesota pretty quickly in the portal and I

1182
00:46:42,280 --> 00:46:45,160
Speaker 20: found very similar people at Minnesota that as I did

1183
00:46:45,239 --> 00:46:48,040
Speaker 20: New Hampshire. The team, the leadership council was very similar,

1184
00:46:48,400 --> 00:46:50,800
Speaker 20: the coaching staff all had the same morals and values.

1185
00:46:50,840 --> 00:46:51,000
Speaker 12: It was.

1186
00:46:51,200 --> 00:46:54,400
Speaker 20: It was crazy similar, and I knew that was home

1187
00:46:54,440 --> 00:46:56,279
Speaker 20: pretty quickly, and I kind of took it and rte

1188
00:46:56,320 --> 00:46:56,480
Speaker 20: with it.

1189
00:46:57,000 --> 00:46:59,720
Speaker 1: Actually had someplace cold in New Hampshire. That's not easy.

1190
00:47:00,400 --> 00:47:02,279
Speaker 2: New Hampshire was cold. I thought that was cold.

1191
00:47:02,600 --> 00:47:04,480
Speaker 20: It was like negative ten my first week there, and

1192
00:47:04,480 --> 00:47:06,200
Speaker 20: then when I got to Minnesota it was like negative

1193
00:47:06,239 --> 00:47:07,520
Speaker 20: twenty five for an entire week.

1194
00:47:08,120 --> 00:47:09,760
Speaker 2: Oh my lord, it was insane.

1195
00:47:10,440 --> 00:47:13,400
Speaker 4: So when you got to Minnesota, how big of a

1196
00:47:13,440 --> 00:47:15,600
Speaker 4: difference was that system? How many adjustments did you have

1197
00:47:15,640 --> 00:47:17,960
Speaker 4: to make as a quarterback? You know moving up in

1198
00:47:18,280 --> 00:47:20,000
Speaker 4: competition level two obviously.

1199
00:47:19,800 --> 00:47:23,000
Speaker 2: So we ran pretty spread is offense.

1200
00:47:23,080 --> 00:47:24,880
Speaker 20: At New Hampshire, we kind of mixed in some Pro

1201
00:47:24,960 --> 00:47:27,120
Speaker 20: style and their center stuff, you know, getting the bunch

1202
00:47:27,160 --> 00:47:29,960
Speaker 20: and getting their center. And when I got to Minnesota,

1203
00:47:30,040 --> 00:47:32,279
Speaker 20: it's completely pro style, like all Pro style. We had

1204
00:47:32,360 --> 00:47:34,360
Speaker 20: you know, twenty to thirty five syllable calls, two or

1205
00:47:34,400 --> 00:47:37,719
Speaker 20: three calls in the huddle. Quarterback controlled everything, which is

1206
00:47:38,160 --> 00:47:39,680
Speaker 20: something that I wanted to go to, Like I wanted

1207
00:47:39,719 --> 00:47:42,160
Speaker 20: to go somewhere there was gonna challenge me even more

1208
00:47:42,200 --> 00:47:44,120
Speaker 20: and prepare me even more for the NFL, and I

1209
00:47:44,160 --> 00:47:46,160
Speaker 20: felt that Minnesota did that under the you know, the

1210
00:47:46,280 --> 00:47:48,400
Speaker 20: direction of coach Tarbo there as the OC. He did

1211
00:47:48,400 --> 00:47:50,359
Speaker 20: an amazing job with our offense and me, I love

1212
00:47:50,440 --> 00:47:53,600
Speaker 20: being a part of, you know, a refinement of an

1213
00:47:53,640 --> 00:47:55,719
Speaker 20: offense and a rebuilding, which I thought we were.

1214
00:47:56,480 --> 00:47:58,839
Speaker 2: And then you kind of get to a spot where

1215
00:47:59,320 --> 00:47:59,960
Speaker 2: you get into a game.

1216
00:48:00,200 --> 00:48:01,000
Speaker 14: We had a game call.

1217
00:48:01,120 --> 00:48:03,320
Speaker 20: We had a game sheet this year that had like

1218
00:48:03,400 --> 00:48:07,200
Speaker 20: sixty kills, an alert on and like eight different covers,

1219
00:48:07,280 --> 00:48:09,040
Speaker 20: zero checks first Penn State this year.

1220
00:48:10,600 --> 00:48:12,640
Speaker 2: A lot of work that goes into a lot of preparation.

1221
00:48:12,800 --> 00:48:15,840
Speaker 20: But that's the fun part about playing quarterback is you

1222
00:48:15,960 --> 00:48:18,680
Speaker 20: get to have that on your shoulders and carry the

1223
00:48:18,760 --> 00:48:21,200
Speaker 20: weight of the entire offensive gameplay.

1224
00:48:21,680 --> 00:48:24,319
Speaker 4: Final question, now that you've been here and you're learning

1225
00:48:24,360 --> 00:48:27,040
Speaker 4: a pro system, you're talking to teams and these meetings

1226
00:48:27,080 --> 00:48:29,040
Speaker 4: and all that stuff, how much do you think the

1227
00:48:29,160 --> 00:48:31,239
Speaker 4: move and everything you were asked to do in Minnesota

1228
00:48:31,360 --> 00:48:33,200
Speaker 4: is going to pay off as you now try to

1229
00:48:33,280 --> 00:48:34,479
Speaker 4: make the jump to the next level.

1230
00:48:34,760 --> 00:48:34,960
Speaker 16: Yeah.

1231
00:48:35,000 --> 00:48:36,000
Speaker 10: I think there's two things.

1232
00:48:36,080 --> 00:48:38,080
Speaker 20: The first thing is the adjustment where you have to

1233
00:48:38,640 --> 00:48:40,799
Speaker 20: learn to lead new people pretty quickly. So I had

1234
00:48:40,840 --> 00:48:43,800
Speaker 20: a year there, and as a quarterback, you're expected to

1235
00:48:43,840 --> 00:48:45,719
Speaker 20: be the guy or one of the guys of the team,

1236
00:48:46,320 --> 00:48:48,560
Speaker 20: and you get into a locker room with new faces

1237
00:48:48,600 --> 00:48:50,160
Speaker 20: that you've never had before, and you're expected to be

1238
00:48:50,680 --> 00:48:53,000
Speaker 20: the guy that leads them right away, And there's a

1239
00:48:53,040 --> 00:48:54,840
Speaker 20: lot that goes into it. You have to earn their respect,

1240
00:48:54,880 --> 00:48:57,840
Speaker 20: their trust, the coaching staff's respect and trust. Takes a

1241
00:48:57,880 --> 00:48:59,640
Speaker 20: lot of work and I love doing that. Like one

1242
00:48:59,640 --> 00:49:01,400
Speaker 20: of my parts about playing football's being a part of

1243
00:49:01,440 --> 00:49:05,000
Speaker 20: a team. And then I get to Minnesota. You you

1244
00:49:05,120 --> 00:49:07,480
Speaker 20: learn the leadership piece, and then also you learn an

1245
00:49:07,600 --> 00:49:09,719
Speaker 20: entire new system in a year and master it.

1246
00:49:10,280 --> 00:49:12,200
Speaker 2: And that If that's not NFL, then I'm not sure

1247
00:49:12,239 --> 00:49:12,440
Speaker 2: what is.

1248
00:49:12,480 --> 00:49:15,000
Speaker 20: There's so many people that change teams pretty quickly, and

1249
00:49:15,080 --> 00:49:16,800
Speaker 20: you have to learn an entire new playbook and a

1250
00:49:16,840 --> 00:49:21,120
Speaker 20: relatively short amount of time, and thick playbooks, not just

1251
00:49:21,200 --> 00:49:22,320
Speaker 20: like fifteen.

1252
00:49:22,000 --> 00:49:23,360
Speaker 2: Calls, like thick playbooks.

1253
00:49:23,400 --> 00:49:26,880
Speaker 20: So it's cool learning new styles of offense, learning how

1254
00:49:26,920 --> 00:49:29,160
Speaker 20: people think, and then meshing them all together and creating

1255
00:49:29,239 --> 00:49:31,480
Speaker 20: one which is what I feel like I was doing

1256
00:49:31,520 --> 00:49:33,520
Speaker 20: a little bit these past you know, three to four years,

1257
00:49:33,560 --> 00:49:34,600
Speaker 20: from New Hampshire to Minnesota.

1258
00:49:35,120 --> 00:49:37,920
Speaker 4: Final question, I know it said that one more did

1259
00:49:37,960 --> 00:49:40,360
Speaker 4: you have at one point during the year against a

1260
00:49:40,440 --> 00:49:42,840
Speaker 4: certain big tank competition who are like, all right, I

1261
00:49:42,960 --> 00:49:43,560
Speaker 4: see the difference.

1262
00:49:43,600 --> 00:49:45,920
Speaker 1: Now this is Big ten football. This is a challenge.

1263
00:49:46,120 --> 00:49:48,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think Iowa this year was that was that

1264
00:49:48,440 --> 00:49:48,960
Speaker 2: game for us?

1265
00:49:50,600 --> 00:49:52,799
Speaker 20: It was you know, it was it was a packed out,

1266
00:49:52,840 --> 00:49:56,000
Speaker 20: you know, fifty five thousand people at home, awesome atmosphere,

1267
00:49:56,239 --> 00:50:00,239
Speaker 20: you know, Primetime TV. And like I was, defense is

1268
00:50:00,800 --> 00:50:04,280
Speaker 20: so sound like they they don't They're not wrong on defense,

1269
00:50:04,440 --> 00:50:06,560
Speaker 20: and so it really challenged you on offense as a quarterback,

1270
00:50:06,640 --> 00:50:09,120
Speaker 20: especially being really good with your eyes, being regularly your

1271
00:50:09,160 --> 00:50:12,480
Speaker 20: feet and you know, just sticking to what you're good

1272
00:50:12,520 --> 00:50:14,640
Speaker 20: at as an offense. And that's when I was like,

1273
00:50:14,719 --> 00:50:17,279
Speaker 20: you know, this is I've never felt like I, you know,

1274
00:50:17,600 --> 00:50:19,279
Speaker 20: can't get to the right spot in the field because

1275
00:50:19,280 --> 00:50:21,160
Speaker 20: they're always in the right spot. Like I can't move

1276
00:50:21,200 --> 00:50:22,759
Speaker 20: these guys as well as I thought they were gonna move.

1277
00:50:22,840 --> 00:50:24,719
Speaker 20: So that was fun learning how to do that.

1278
00:50:24,760 --> 00:50:25,960
Speaker 2: And then the transitions out of the year.

1279
00:50:25,960 --> 00:50:29,799
Speaker 20: We've played really good defenses this year and I thought

1280
00:50:29,800 --> 00:50:31,399
Speaker 20: we did pretty well against them for the most part.

1281
00:50:31,800 --> 00:50:33,759
Speaker 1: That's good stuff. Best luck this week and best luck

1282
00:50:33,760 --> 00:50:34,400
Speaker 1: throughout the process.

1283
00:50:34,440 --> 00:50:35,400
Speaker 2: Thank you, appreciate it all.

1284
00:50:35,480 --> 00:50:35,600
Speaker 3: Right.

1285
00:50:35,600 --> 00:50:38,359
Speaker 4: Now, we're joined by Texas State offensive lineman Nash Jones. Nash,

1286
00:50:38,400 --> 00:50:40,479
Speaker 4: how's the week so far been? With you being coached

1287
00:50:40,480 --> 00:50:42,640
Speaker 4: by Giants defensive quidinator Shamee bow And he's your head

1288
00:50:42,680 --> 00:50:43,200
Speaker 4: coach down here.

1289
00:50:43,480 --> 00:50:47,000
Speaker 8: It's really cool, very intense. I love it. He knows

1290
00:50:47,040 --> 00:50:48,400
Speaker 8: what he wants to do and he's gonna do it.

1291
00:50:49,080 --> 00:50:49,400
Speaker 8: All right.

1292
00:50:49,480 --> 00:50:52,160
Speaker 4: So you went from Incarnate Ward to Texas State, right,

1293
00:50:52,239 --> 00:50:53,640
Speaker 4: you went from left tackle to left guard.

1294
00:50:53,680 --> 00:50:56,920
Speaker 1: What was that transition like for you? Going outside to inside?

1295
00:50:57,600 --> 00:50:59,239
Speaker 8: It was very different because it's kind of a spurad

1296
00:50:59,239 --> 00:50:59,879
Speaker 8: of the moment thing.

1297
00:51:00,520 --> 00:51:02,480
Speaker 21: I wasn't left tackle for my first year here at

1298
00:51:02,520 --> 00:51:06,160
Speaker 21: Texas State and then this year moved into guard. It's

1299
00:51:06,160 --> 00:51:08,319
Speaker 21: a lot different. It's different philosophies. You know, you're used

1300
00:51:08,320 --> 00:51:10,239
Speaker 21: to a lot of space outside and you go to

1301
00:51:10,320 --> 00:51:12,520
Speaker 21: no space. You used a lot of time to no time.

1302
00:51:12,600 --> 00:51:13,839
Speaker 1: They're on your right away, right.

1303
00:51:13,840 --> 00:51:15,600
Speaker 8: Right, Yeah, very different, very different.

1304
00:51:16,120 --> 00:51:18,120
Speaker 4: And you can't really give any ground either, right because

1305
00:51:18,360 --> 00:51:20,600
Speaker 4: you guys are predicting the depth of the pocket. The

1306
00:51:20,680 --> 00:51:21,920
Speaker 4: last thing you want is one of these guys in

1307
00:51:21,960 --> 00:51:22,920
Speaker 4: your quarterbacks.

1308
00:51:22,600 --> 00:51:24,680
Speaker 8: Lat right of course, so that kind of played it

1309
00:51:24,719 --> 00:51:25,240
Speaker 8: to my strengths.

1310
00:51:25,239 --> 00:51:27,279
Speaker 21: I felt like I'm a very strong individual, and so

1311
00:51:27,400 --> 00:51:29,279
Speaker 21: that was easy for me to do the stone wall

1312
00:51:29,320 --> 00:51:29,919
Speaker 21: guy up front.

1313
00:51:30,440 --> 00:51:32,239
Speaker 4: As you talk to scouts, are they talking to you

1314
00:51:32,360 --> 00:51:34,600
Speaker 4: as a guard that they asked you about tackle center

1315
00:51:34,680 --> 00:51:34,880
Speaker 4: at all?

1316
00:51:34,920 --> 00:51:37,000
Speaker 1: As I come up into these conversations.

1317
00:51:36,560 --> 00:51:39,520
Speaker 21: Yes, so primarily garden center, right, just my height and

1318
00:51:39,600 --> 00:51:41,480
Speaker 21: size and length. They feel like I'm a picture perfect

1319
00:51:41,480 --> 00:51:45,640
Speaker 21: garden center. But having that experience at tackle really acid

1320
00:51:45,680 --> 00:51:47,560
Speaker 21: the versatility of all what I can do.

1321
00:51:47,800 --> 00:51:49,640
Speaker 4: How much have you worked at center and practice in

1322
00:51:49,680 --> 00:51:51,360
Speaker 4: and workouts and stuff at practice?

1323
00:51:51,360 --> 00:51:53,560
Speaker 21: Snapping after practice, getting ready because I know I know

1324
00:51:53,680 --> 00:51:55,320
Speaker 21: our system right at the back of my hand. I

1325
00:51:55,480 --> 00:51:58,919
Speaker 21: understand the extra nose of everything, and so it wasn't

1326
00:51:58,920 --> 00:52:01,440
Speaker 21: necessarily working on Okay, what do you want to call

1327
00:52:01,520 --> 00:52:01,919
Speaker 21: this front?

1328
00:52:02,040 --> 00:52:03,239
Speaker 8: Or what do you want to do here? That's the

1329
00:52:03,320 --> 00:52:05,239
Speaker 8: third Mostly I just got to get that motion down

1330
00:52:05,280 --> 00:52:06,080
Speaker 8: to snapping.

1331
00:52:06,200 --> 00:52:06,520
Speaker 3: All right.

1332
00:52:06,520 --> 00:52:08,120
Speaker 4: I want to take you back to your incarnate ward

1333
00:52:08,200 --> 00:52:10,160
Speaker 4: days before you got to Texas State. What was it

1334
00:52:10,320 --> 00:52:13,560
Speaker 4: like blocking for cam Ward before he became cam Ward.

1335
00:52:14,160 --> 00:52:15,840
Speaker 21: It was really cool because he's the same guy. The

1336
00:52:15,880 --> 00:52:18,480
Speaker 21: people that you the person that you see on TVs

1337
00:52:18,560 --> 00:52:21,440
Speaker 21: is cam Ward. Right, He's gonna have fun, he's gonna

1338
00:52:21,719 --> 00:52:24,400
Speaker 21: be calm, cool, collected, he's gonna do great things at you.

1339
00:52:24,520 --> 00:52:26,919
Speaker 8: At w he was free and did what he wanted

1340
00:52:26,960 --> 00:52:29,560
Speaker 8: to do, throwing bombs, doing everything that he wanted to do. Right,

1341
00:52:29,600 --> 00:52:30,840
Speaker 8: So it was it was great.

1342
00:52:30,680 --> 00:52:33,040
Speaker 4: Playing with cam You know, I think you hit the

1343
00:52:33,120 --> 00:52:34,600
Speaker 4: thing that jumps out to me when I watch him.

1344
00:52:34,640 --> 00:52:35,840
Speaker 4: You said, calm, cool and collective.

1345
00:52:36,320 --> 00:52:38,680
Speaker 1: They could be guys in his lap pass versus everywhere.

1346
00:52:39,080 --> 00:52:42,080
Speaker 1: He always looks so calm. Is that his demeanor all

1347
00:52:42,160 --> 00:52:43,920
Speaker 1: the time. Does anything ever rattle that guy?

1348
00:52:44,400 --> 00:52:46,359
Speaker 21: From what I remember, only with it for a year, yea.

1349
00:52:46,440 --> 00:52:48,440
Speaker 21: From what I can remember and how he was with us,

1350
00:52:48,640 --> 00:52:50,960
Speaker 21: he was just a fun, loving, having fun free guy.

1351
00:52:51,360 --> 00:52:51,520
Speaker 3: Right.

1352
00:52:51,640 --> 00:52:54,359
Speaker 21: So yes, he was calm, but he was playing free

1353
00:52:54,760 --> 00:52:57,239
Speaker 21: like cam Woard is gonna be cam Moore regardless, right,

1354
00:52:57,280 --> 00:52:58,279
Speaker 21: And so that's what change.

1355
00:52:58,400 --> 00:52:59,959
Speaker 8: That's what we saw off the field.

1356
00:53:00,080 --> 00:53:03,600
Speaker 21: He's having fun, he's calling people nicknames, having a good time,

1357
00:53:04,200 --> 00:53:05,400
Speaker 21: very cool, relaxed person.

1358
00:53:05,800 --> 00:53:08,040
Speaker 8: And then in the game. You see that cool, relax,

1359
00:53:08,200 --> 00:53:08,680
Speaker 8: having fun.

1360
00:53:09,040 --> 00:53:11,480
Speaker 21: He's gonna throw a fifty yard bomb and do it

1361
00:53:11,520 --> 00:53:13,000
Speaker 21: again the next time, do it again the next time.

1362
00:53:13,120 --> 00:53:13,799
Speaker 8: Just have a fun time.

1363
00:53:14,239 --> 00:53:15,200
Speaker 1: Awesome for you.

1364
00:53:15,560 --> 00:53:17,480
Speaker 4: What are one or two things that you want to

1365
00:53:17,560 --> 00:53:20,160
Speaker 4: show scouts and coaches not only when you meet with

1366
00:53:20,200 --> 00:53:21,840
Speaker 4: them privately, but also when you get out in the

1367
00:53:21,840 --> 00:53:22,640
Speaker 4: field and you start.

1368
00:53:22,440 --> 00:53:24,520
Speaker 8: One of some of these drills. Two things. I want

1369
00:53:24,520 --> 00:53:26,879
Speaker 8: to show my intensity. I know that I'm an test person.

1370
00:53:26,920 --> 00:53:28,400
Speaker 21: I know that I can get the job done, and

1371
00:53:28,400 --> 00:53:29,960
Speaker 21: I know that I care a lot about football and

1372
00:53:30,040 --> 00:53:32,160
Speaker 21: care a lot about what it can do. And then

1373
00:53:32,239 --> 00:53:34,520
Speaker 21: also I want to show how stream I am with football.

1374
00:53:34,560 --> 00:53:36,160
Speaker 21: I want to show that I know the xs and

1375
00:53:36,200 --> 00:53:38,080
Speaker 21: those that I can play something that I can call

1376
00:53:38,160 --> 00:53:39,880
Speaker 21: it out. I can call it bliz out before the

1377
00:53:39,920 --> 00:53:42,560
Speaker 21: blitz happens. I can see the temptic rotation, things like that.

1378
00:53:42,880 --> 00:53:44,879
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's good stuff. Man, appreciated, good luck this week.

00:53:49,600 --> 00:53:52,239
Speaker 1: Nick Nash, Nick Hawaii, Man, I'm doing well? Are you good?

1383
00:53:54,320 --> 00:53:54,719
Speaker 3: It's fun.

1384
00:53:54,800 --> 00:53:56,799
Speaker 13: It's a lot, it's chaotic, there's a lot of people

1385
00:53:56,880 --> 00:53:58,919
Speaker 13: running around, but it's it's been fun.

1386
00:53:59,239 --> 00:54:00,600
Speaker 4: How has it been with the coaches and kind of

1387
00:54:00,640 --> 00:54:02,160
Speaker 4: interacting with a new group and trying to learn a

1388
00:54:02,200 --> 00:54:03,600
Speaker 4: new system and such a quick period of.

1389
00:54:03,640 --> 00:54:05,920
Speaker 13: Time, it's awesome. It's like a condensed version of what

1390
00:54:06,040 --> 00:54:09,040
Speaker 13: you're going to get in the future with every team.

1391
00:54:09,200 --> 00:54:10,520
Speaker 8: So I'm excited to be.

1392
00:54:10,640 --> 00:54:14,160
Speaker 13: Learning these concepts and learning how NFL coaches want to

1393
00:54:14,920 --> 00:54:16,520
Speaker 13: want me to run these routes and want me to

1394
00:54:17,600 --> 00:54:20,320
Speaker 13: act in the in the classroom, and how to translate

1395
00:54:20,360 --> 00:54:21,880
Speaker 13: it to the field. That kind of stuff.

1396
00:54:22,239 --> 00:54:24,320
Speaker 4: Now, for Bez and aren't familiar with you, you have

1397
00:54:24,400 --> 00:54:27,160
Speaker 4: a very interesting path of how you've gotten to play

1398
00:54:27,200 --> 00:54:29,560
Speaker 4: wide receiver? Right, and you had a great year your

1399
00:54:29,640 --> 00:54:33,120
Speaker 4: last year, you were super due, reproductive. How did playing

1400
00:54:33,239 --> 00:54:36,239
Speaker 4: quarterback your first few years help prepare you for wide

1401
00:54:36,280 --> 00:54:38,600
Speaker 4: receiver and how does it help you absorb an offense

1402
00:54:38,640 --> 00:54:39,960
Speaker 4: in such a quick period of time like you have

1403
00:54:40,040 --> 00:54:40,600
Speaker 4: to do this week?

1404
00:54:41,120 --> 00:54:43,360
Speaker 13: Yeah, I think you know, as a quarterback you have

1405
00:54:43,440 --> 00:54:45,319
Speaker 13: to learn the whole offense as a whole.

1406
00:54:46,320 --> 00:54:46,960
Speaker 3: That helps me.

1407
00:54:47,640 --> 00:54:51,319
Speaker 13: Obviously, being able to read coverage just helps when you're

1408
00:54:51,480 --> 00:54:53,400
Speaker 13: in the thick of a game and you need to

1409
00:54:53,440 --> 00:54:58,040
Speaker 13: be able to adjust your route based on coverage and

1410
00:54:58,520 --> 00:55:01,600
Speaker 13: the learning the offense, the learning the offense piece, learning

1411
00:55:01,640 --> 00:55:03,600
Speaker 13: it as a whole really helps to understand whether or

1412
00:55:03,640 --> 00:55:05,120
Speaker 13: not you're trying to get open or you're trying to

1413
00:55:05,120 --> 00:55:07,759
Speaker 13: get your teammates open. And I think that's that's a

1414
00:55:07,880 --> 00:55:10,279
Speaker 13: huge thing for me. And there was There's one more

1415
00:55:10,320 --> 00:55:10,759
Speaker 13: thing you said.

1416
00:55:10,800 --> 00:55:11,200
Speaker 3: What was that?

1417
00:55:12,120 --> 00:55:16,239
Speaker 1: Just in terms of I think, yeah, I think you

1418
00:55:16,280 --> 00:55:16,520
Speaker 1: got it.

1419
00:55:17,080 --> 00:55:19,600
Speaker 4: So when you made that transition from quarterback to wide receiver,

1420
00:55:19,680 --> 00:55:21,239
Speaker 4: what do you think was the biggest challenge for you?

1421
00:55:21,560 --> 00:55:22,200
Speaker 1: Was it mindset?

1422
00:55:22,360 --> 00:55:24,719
Speaker 4: Was it something physical? Did you was it putting on weight,

1423
00:55:24,800 --> 00:55:26,800
Speaker 4: losing weight, trying to think more explosive? What was the

1424
00:55:26,840 --> 00:55:28,320
Speaker 4: biggest challenge to you making that shift.

1425
00:55:28,640 --> 00:55:31,080
Speaker 13: I think it was it was physical, just route running,

1426
00:55:31,960 --> 00:55:35,360
Speaker 13: how crisp they were getting in and out of breaks.

1427
00:55:36,600 --> 00:55:38,759
Speaker 13: But the understanding was there of where I needed it

1428
00:55:38,840 --> 00:55:39,000
Speaker 13: to be.

1429
00:55:39,560 --> 00:55:40,759
Speaker 8: It was just how to get there.

1430
00:55:43,120 --> 00:55:44,839
Speaker 1: You played what I was here for two years full time.

1431
00:55:45,239 --> 00:55:46,600
Speaker 1: What made the difference from one to the other.

1432
00:55:46,640 --> 00:55:48,359
Speaker 4: I noticed the one year you were more outside, then

1433
00:55:48,400 --> 00:55:50,160
Speaker 4: you move more inside to the slot. Did that make

1434
00:55:50,200 --> 00:55:52,240
Speaker 4: a big difference for you or was it just getting

1435
00:55:52,680 --> 00:55:54,040
Speaker 4: more familiarity with the position.

1436
00:55:54,800 --> 00:55:57,440
Speaker 13: I think it's a little bit of the familiarity, and

1437
00:55:57,520 --> 00:56:02,439
Speaker 13: then also the coaching change, different different schemes, different ways

1438
00:56:02,480 --> 00:56:05,239
Speaker 13: to get me open. I think from the slot they

1439
00:56:05,360 --> 00:56:08,680
Speaker 13: wanted to run the offense through me, whereas the year

1440
00:56:08,800 --> 00:56:11,919
Speaker 13: prior it wasn't ran as much through the Z, which

1441
00:56:11,960 --> 00:56:12,839
Speaker 13: is the position.

1442
00:56:12,600 --> 00:56:13,160
Speaker 8: I was playing.

1443
00:56:14,280 --> 00:56:16,200
Speaker 4: What's the advantage for you as a wide receiver. Did

1444
00:56:16,239 --> 00:56:17,719
Speaker 4: you like playing in the slot more? Did you like

1445
00:56:17,800 --> 00:56:19,680
Speaker 4: playing outside more? Because you're a toller guy, you would

1446
00:56:19,719 --> 00:56:21,960
Speaker 4: think probably more of an outside again than a sloty

1447
00:56:22,040 --> 00:56:23,120
Speaker 4: just looking at your body type.

1448
00:56:23,480 --> 00:56:24,719
Speaker 7: Yeah, I like both.

1449
00:56:24,760 --> 00:56:28,240
Speaker 13: Honestly, there's pros and cons to both. In the slot

1450
00:56:28,320 --> 00:56:30,640
Speaker 13: you get two way gos, it's a little bit easier

1451
00:56:30,719 --> 00:56:35,480
Speaker 13: to run around and make people miss. But on the outside,

1452
00:56:35,520 --> 00:56:37,319
Speaker 13: you know, you get those fifty to fifty balls, which

1453
00:56:37,360 --> 00:56:39,000
Speaker 13: is something that I love to do. Go up and

1454
00:56:39,080 --> 00:56:42,080
Speaker 13: get it and be aggressive and use my big body

1455
00:56:42,200 --> 00:56:43,200
Speaker 13: and use my big frame.

1456
00:56:43,719 --> 00:56:45,359
Speaker 1: What are your big goals this week that you want

1457
00:56:45,400 --> 00:56:46,840
Speaker 1: to show the coaches and scouts that are here.

1458
00:56:47,400 --> 00:56:49,160
Speaker 13: Like I said, just be able to go against the

1459
00:56:49,239 --> 00:56:51,359
Speaker 13: best and be able to show that I can still

1460
00:56:51,440 --> 00:56:54,200
Speaker 13: do what I've done in the past against the best

1461
00:56:54,239 --> 00:56:57,360
Speaker 13: players in the country. Be Able to show that I

1462
00:56:57,400 --> 00:57:00,440
Speaker 13: can get off press, be able to show my quickness speed.

1463
00:57:01,320 --> 00:57:02,800
Speaker 13: I think those are some of the biggest things I

1464
00:57:02,800 --> 00:57:03,200
Speaker 13: will show.

1465
00:57:03,640 --> 00:57:05,680
Speaker 4: Do you feel kind of like representing all of San

1466
00:57:05,760 --> 00:57:08,440
Speaker 4: Jose State on your shoulders type of thing here?

1467
00:57:08,840 --> 00:57:11,840
Speaker 13: Yeah, a little bit. It's a cool feelings. It's surreal.

1468
00:57:12,440 --> 00:57:14,920
Speaker 13: I just saw a video of San Jose State on

1469
00:57:15,080 --> 00:57:17,440
Speaker 13: Instagram and you know, maybe miss those guys, but it

1470
00:57:17,520 --> 00:57:20,480
Speaker 13: made me realize that I was here for something that's

1471
00:57:20,560 --> 00:57:21,360
Speaker 13: bigger than myself.

1472
00:57:21,800 --> 00:57:22,959
Speaker 1: We can't wait to see on the field.

1473
00:57:22,960 --> 00:57:24,040

1476
00:57:26,440 --> 00:57:28,160
Speaker 1: of crunch time football, I'm your man.

1477
00:57:28,280 --> 00:57:30,480
Speaker 12: But if you're wondering about a long term financial plan,

1478
00:57:30,920 --> 00:57:32,120
Speaker 12: you should talk to Citizens.

1479
00:57:32,240 --> 00:57:34,280
Speaker 1: Hey, I can also talk long care I'd like to

1480
00:57:34,320 --> 00:57:36,760

00:57:43,560 --> 00:57:44,840
Speaker 4: three fourteen hundred yards.

1485
00:57:44,920 --> 00:57:46,760
Speaker 1: What clicked for you that year? U and OV that

1486
00:57:46,840 --> 00:57:48,160
Speaker 1: allowed you to break out the way you did.

1487
00:57:48,560 --> 00:57:53,120
Speaker 22: Really, I would definitely say the coaching staff, my teammates overall,

1488
00:57:53,240 --> 00:57:55,120
Speaker 22: take care of my body, make sure I was healthy.

1489
00:57:55,760 --> 00:57:57,520
Speaker 22: I was loving to play every game with a season.

1490
00:57:58,200 --> 00:58:00,880
Speaker 22: Oh it just I just had a great support system

1491

1495
00:58:08,600 --> 00:58:10,520
Speaker 1: You like playing inside or outside? What's your preference?

1496
00:58:11,280 --> 00:58:13,520
Speaker 22: I like inside, you know, not having to worry about

1497
00:58:13,520 --> 00:58:16,640
Speaker 22: whether cause this is but you know at that I

1498
00:58:16,760 --> 00:58:19,720
Speaker 22: really don't. It doesn't matter whether it's rain and snowing.

1499
00:58:19,960 --> 00:58:22,800
Speaker 22: I'm coming and could play and compete at a high level.

1500
00:58:23,080 --> 00:58:25,040
Speaker 1: I have an outside wide receiver versus slot.

1501
00:58:26,760 --> 00:58:27,800
Speaker 8: I would definitely say both.

1502
00:58:27,880 --> 00:58:30,440
Speaker 22: Man, I'm a very versatile I got the chance to

1503
00:58:30,520 --> 00:58:33,280
Speaker 22: play in the go go offense, which showed my versatility

1504
00:58:33,480 --> 00:58:37,200
Speaker 22: at on the outside and inside. So nah, I'm a

1505
00:58:37,360 --> 00:58:39,920
Speaker 22: very versatile I can play both outside and inside.

1506
00:58:40,160 --> 00:58:42,160
Speaker 4: Is there something that you've heard people say about your

1507
00:58:42,200 --> 00:58:44,520
Speaker 4: game where you can like roll your eyes and you're like,

1508
00:58:44,800 --> 00:58:46,320
Speaker 4: I don't know about that, and maybe you want to

1509
00:58:46,320 --> 00:58:48,760
Speaker 4: show out this week and prove those doubts wrong.

1510
00:58:49,240 --> 00:58:50,360
Speaker 8: I will definitely say speed.

00:58:51,360 --> 00:58:53,640
Speaker 22: You know, they've they've shown let me said that, I've

Speaker 22: definitely want to show that here. You know, when I

1514
00:58:59,800 --> 00:59:02,760
Speaker 22: run the forty other combine, you know, and also when

1515
00:59:02,760 --> 00:59:03,800
Speaker 22: I get to the next level.

1516
00:59:04,240 --> 00:59:05,880
Speaker 1: Have you been working on those track skills.

Speaker 8: Is just you know, showcase that speed that I have.

1526
00:59:26,080 --> 00:59:28,240
Speaker 4: Final question, if you were to compare yourself for guys

1527
00:59:28,280 --> 00:59:29,840
Speaker 4: that you try to model your game after in terms

1528
00:59:29,840 --> 00:59:31,680
Speaker 4: of NFL wide receivers, could they be I.

1529
00:59:31,680 --> 00:59:33,160
Speaker 8: Would definitely say Jesse Jefferson.

1530
00:59:33,960 --> 00:59:38,080
Speaker 22: We have the same body type, the way he you know, separates,

1531
00:59:40,200 --> 00:59:42,720
Speaker 22: get open, you know, the way he canses the ball

1532
00:59:42,840 --> 00:59:46,200
Speaker 22: with his hands, and just playmaking ability.

1533
00:59:46,880 --> 00:59:48,920
Speaker 1: Good luck this week, man, Thank you, yes, sir, thank you.

1534
00:59:49,400 --> 00:59:51,560
Speaker 4: Now we're joined by a University of MAMMI wide receiver

1535
00:59:51,680 --> 00:59:53,520
Speaker 4: Sam Brown. Sam, how's here a week on so far?

1536
00:59:53,720 --> 00:59:54,360
Speaker 3: That's good to you.

1537
00:59:54,720 --> 00:59:56,560
Speaker 1: I'm doing great, man. Let's start here.

1538
00:59:57,400 --> 00:59:59,720
Speaker 4: What do you want to show coaches and scouts this

1539
00:59:59,800 --> 01:00:01,880
Speaker 4: week in meetings and and everything else that you do

1540
01:00:01,960 --> 01:00:03,560
Speaker 4: in terrafting with the teams and being on the field.

1541
01:00:04,160 --> 01:00:08,919
Speaker 15: Just consistency, sean, and how bad I want to play

1542
01:00:08,920 --> 01:00:12,120
Speaker 15: in the next level, my maturity to the game I

1543
01:00:12,280 --> 01:00:13,760
Speaker 15: approach it on and off the field.

1544
01:00:15,640 --> 01:00:16,400
Speaker 2: That's pretty much it.

1545
01:00:17,160 --> 01:00:19,120
Speaker 4: Now, you transferred a couple of times, you wound up

1546
01:00:19,160 --> 01:00:21,840
Speaker 4: in Miami. Why did you decide to go to Miami

1547
01:00:21,960 --> 01:00:23,960
Speaker 4: and didn't work out the way you wanted it to?

1548
01:00:24,720 --> 01:00:24,840
Speaker 12: Uh?

1549
01:00:26,200 --> 01:00:26,680
Speaker 1: It worked out.

1550
01:00:26,720 --> 01:00:28,160
Speaker 15: It worked out pretty good for me. That I want

1551
01:00:28,200 --> 01:00:30,040
Speaker 15: a lot of games. That's that's pretty much what matters

1552
01:00:30,040 --> 01:00:33,360
Speaker 15: to me. And why did I trust it there? I

1553
01:00:33,440 --> 01:00:35,800
Speaker 15: wanted to go to an established system to where like

1554
01:00:37,080 --> 01:00:38,880
Speaker 15: at Houston we was going to a coach a chain,

1555
01:00:38,960 --> 01:00:41,200
Speaker 15: So I wanted to go to established Uh. I wanted

1556
01:00:41,200 --> 01:00:42,800
Speaker 15: to go to the established system and compee at the

1557
01:00:42,840 --> 01:00:43,400
Speaker 15: highest level.

1558
01:00:44,040 --> 01:00:44,200
Speaker 5: UH.

1559
01:00:45,440 --> 01:00:47,720
Speaker 8: And that cam War played a big part of it.

1560
01:00:47,880 --> 01:00:50,040
Speaker 15: Just myst quarterback play, Like I knew I was gonna

1561
01:00:50,040 --> 01:00:51,560
Speaker 15: have a good quarterback play and we had a great

1562
01:00:51,600 --> 01:00:52,000
Speaker 15: old lone.

1563
01:00:52,080 --> 01:00:54,920
Speaker 2: So it was just pretty much that nature.

1564
01:00:55,840 --> 01:00:57,640
Speaker 1: You mentioned Cam Warred. What was it like playing with

1565
01:00:57,720 --> 01:00:59,760
Speaker 1: him and kind of what made him special as a quarterback,

1566
01:01:00,400 --> 01:01:01,800
Speaker 1: Just he's a generousal quarterback.

1567
01:01:01,840 --> 01:01:04,040
Speaker 15: His arm talent is crazy, and the way he sees

1568
01:01:04,160 --> 01:01:06,880
Speaker 15: the picture of a defense, you can't disguise it to

1569
01:01:07,000 --> 01:01:09,600
Speaker 15: him pretty much like the best that he could do

1570
01:01:09,680 --> 01:01:12,480
Speaker 15: to him is just put either drop eight or you

1571
01:01:12,520 --> 01:01:15,480
Speaker 15: can bless him like that, though those arecounters so generation

1572
01:01:15,640 --> 01:01:18,400
Speaker 15: talent as a quarterback with arm tilent, his how he

1573
01:01:18,480 --> 01:01:21,560
Speaker 15: process stands, with the way the umbrella at the top

1574
01:01:21,600 --> 01:01:22,640
Speaker 15: of the DB's.

1575
01:01:22,720 --> 01:01:25,400
Speaker 1: The other thing watching him, he always seems calm.

1576
01:01:25,760 --> 01:01:27,440
Speaker 4: I've never seen the guy stand in the pocket with

1577
01:01:27,560 --> 01:01:29,800
Speaker 4: three guys trying to murder him and he just sits

1578
01:01:29,840 --> 01:01:31,400
Speaker 4: there like it's like a day in the park.

1579
01:01:31,960 --> 01:01:33,200
Speaker 1: His poison is crazy, isn't it.

1580
01:01:33,440 --> 01:01:33,640
Speaker 20: Yeah.

1581
01:01:33,720 --> 01:01:35,160
Speaker 15: I mean you can look at it that way, or

1582
01:01:35,200 --> 01:01:36,880
Speaker 15: you could just look at it like how he trust

1583
01:01:36,920 --> 01:01:38,680
Speaker 15: his team, like how we know we're gonna get open

1584
01:01:38,720 --> 01:01:41,680
Speaker 15: from eventually, and how he had trusted his old.

1585
01:01:41,560 --> 01:01:44,040
Speaker 4: Line if a team would ask you, what do you

1586
01:01:44,080 --> 01:01:45,919
Speaker 4: think your greatest strengths are of a wide receiver?

1587
01:01:46,000 --> 01:01:49,640
Speaker 15: What would you tell him my playmaker ability and my

1588
01:01:49,800 --> 01:01:52,120
Speaker 15: instincts and my IQ. When I brant to the table,

1589
01:01:53,720 --> 01:01:55,960
Speaker 15: I look at things a little bit different than you.

1590
01:01:56,760 --> 01:02:00,200
Speaker 15: People can say like I know I pretty much to

1591
01:02:00,720 --> 01:02:03,160
Speaker 15: not I not, I know, but I pretty much. I'm

1592
01:02:03,160 --> 01:02:05,160
Speaker 15: confident in the ads and outs of like what I

1593
01:02:05,280 --> 01:02:08,200
Speaker 15: see and what I know, how people can rotate defenses,

1594
01:02:08,280 --> 01:02:11,200
Speaker 15: how people can uh this guy's coverages.

1595
01:02:11,240 --> 01:02:13,560
Speaker 2: I'm pretty good at this guy's knows before pre snap.

1596
01:02:15,080 --> 01:02:17,280
Speaker 1: Awesome, Sam, good stuff, Appreciate the time, and good luck

Speaker 8: Thank you all right.

1599
01:02:18,800 --> 01:02:21,400
Speaker 1: Now we're joined by wide receiver for Colorado, Will Sheppard,

1600
01:02:21,440 --> 01:02:22,040
Speaker 1: Will Hawaii man.

1601
01:02:22,320 --> 01:02:22,440
Speaker 3: Good?

1602
01:02:22,480 --> 01:02:23,200
Speaker 8: How good?

1603
01:02:23,240 --> 01:02:24,800
Speaker 1: How is this week gone for you so far? Trying

1604
01:02:24,840 --> 01:02:27,640
Speaker 1: to absorb and learn a pro style offense in the

1605
01:02:27,680 --> 01:02:28,440
Speaker 1: span of a couple.

1606
01:02:28,280 --> 01:02:30,240
Speaker 5: Of days, There's been a lot deffinitely a lot of

1607
01:02:30,280 --> 01:02:33,440
Speaker 5: information being thrown at me, but nothing I can't handle.

1608
01:02:34,080 --> 01:02:35,960
Speaker 7: Number overall is really great for the opportunity.

1609
01:02:36,360 --> 01:02:38,480
Speaker 4: Now you were with him, enf guy like coach in

1610
01:02:38,520 --> 01:02:40,880
Speaker 4: the NFL forever Hey coach Frost, Pat Shermer of Colorado

1611
01:02:41,280 --> 01:02:42,920
Speaker 4: does that help you get ready for an event like

1612
01:02:43,000 --> 01:02:45,320
Speaker 4: this being with a pro coaching college.

1613
01:02:45,120 --> 01:02:48,200
Speaker 5: Yeah, definitely, there's a pro mond set there, especially coming

1614
01:02:48,240 --> 01:02:51,240
Speaker 5: from coach Prime being who he is and coach Shermer,

1615
01:02:51,240 --> 01:02:52,840
Speaker 5: who being who he is and where he's came from

1616
01:02:52,880 --> 01:02:54,920
Speaker 5: as well. If you want to be a pro, you're

1617
01:02:54,960 --> 01:02:57,280
Speaker 5: gonna be expected to act like a pro. You're gonna

1618
01:02:57,280 --> 01:02:59,440
Speaker 5: get treated like a pro. So I think that's helped me.

1619
01:03:00,120 --> 01:03:01,560
Speaker 4: So you were a Vandon Brough for four years right

1620
01:03:01,640 --> 01:03:03,920
Speaker 4: then you went to Colorado? Why you just like to transfer?

1621
01:03:04,040 --> 01:03:05,920
Speaker 4: And did you think when you look back at it

1622
01:03:06,040 --> 01:03:06,760
Speaker 4: was the right decision?

1623
01:03:07,160 --> 01:03:08,360
Speaker 3: Yeah? I think it was a couple of things.

1624
01:03:09,480 --> 01:03:12,440
Speaker 5: No One being able to play with a quarterback of

1625
01:03:12,480 --> 01:03:16,520
Speaker 5: shador sta standard and someone like him that can that

1626
01:03:17,040 --> 01:03:19,640
Speaker 5: is also changing the same dream as me. He's gonna

1627
01:03:19,680 --> 01:03:22,240
Speaker 5: be first quarterback taking off the board, so being able

1628
01:03:22,240 --> 01:03:25,320
Speaker 5: to play with him. Then getting that media exposure is

1629
01:03:25,320 --> 01:03:27,840
Speaker 5: another big thing for me, not just media as in

1630
01:03:27,920 --> 01:03:30,040
Speaker 5: like social media, but like being able to be seen

1631
01:03:30,080 --> 01:03:32,600
Speaker 5: on TV, getting that national recognition and stuff like that,

1632
01:03:32,840 --> 01:03:33,280
Speaker 5: and then.

1633
01:03:33,400 --> 01:03:35,280
Speaker 2: That's my national game every weekend exactly.

1634
01:03:35,440 --> 01:03:35,920
Speaker 18: And then.

1635
01:03:37,680 --> 01:03:39,880
Speaker 5: I'd say just getting an opportunity to kind of a

1636
01:03:39,960 --> 01:03:44,800
Speaker 5: fresh start, new offense, new people, new surroundings.

1637
01:03:45,440 --> 01:03:47,960
Speaker 4: You mentioned shador I think there's an impression of what

1638
01:03:48,080 --> 01:03:50,000
Speaker 4: he is from the outside that I'm sure is not

1639
01:03:50,160 --> 01:03:53,280
Speaker 4: accurate at all. What is Shudor sayings like in the

1640
01:03:53,320 --> 01:03:55,120
Speaker 4: locker room, in the meeting room, dealing with his a

1641
01:03:55,320 --> 01:03:55,800
Speaker 4: as a player?

1642
01:03:56,240 --> 01:03:58,200
Speaker 5: Yeah, the more in the media is gonna be the media.

1643
01:03:58,240 --> 01:04:00,760
Speaker 5: They're gonna front frame story. He's the way they want

1644
01:04:00,760 --> 01:04:03,600
Speaker 5: to frames stories. As a team, I feel like we

1645
01:04:03,640 --> 01:04:05,600
Speaker 5: did a good job not really paying attention to not

1646
01:04:05,720 --> 01:04:08,120
Speaker 5: really worrying about it, if anything, just using a fuel

1647
01:04:08,200 --> 01:04:11,400
Speaker 5: to go out and take that anger out another opponent,

1648
01:04:11,440 --> 01:04:15,400
Speaker 5: I guess. But he everything you see from him is

1649
01:04:15,520 --> 01:04:18,440
Speaker 5: what you get that he's a genuine person. Nothing he

1650
01:04:18,520 --> 01:04:21,240
Speaker 5: does for the cameras fake, That's who he is. He's

1651
01:04:21,240 --> 01:04:22,800
Speaker 5: gonna be a good leader. He's gonna be obviously a

1652
01:04:22,800 --> 01:04:23,520
Speaker 5: good quarterback too.

1653
01:04:23,920 --> 01:04:25,240
Speaker 1: All right, let's talk about your game.

1654
01:04:25,520 --> 01:04:28,440
Speaker 4: Where do you think you've made the most improvement jumping

1655
01:04:28,480 --> 01:04:30,280
Speaker 4: from Vandy to Colorado and just over the course of

1656
01:04:30,320 --> 01:04:30,880
Speaker 4: your college career.

1657
01:04:30,960 --> 01:04:32,280
Speaker 1: What do you think your greatest strengths are right now

1658
01:04:32,280 --> 01:04:33,160
Speaker 1: as a wide receiver.

1659
01:04:33,520 --> 01:04:36,640
Speaker 5: Greatest traits physically, I'd say, from my size running and

1660
01:04:36,720 --> 01:04:39,160
Speaker 5: then ball skills, being able to track the ball in

1661
01:04:39,200 --> 01:04:41,040
Speaker 5: the air, finding nowhere it's gonna be go up and

1662
01:04:41,120 --> 01:04:45,480
Speaker 5: get it, win those fifty fifty balls and honestly just

1663
01:04:45,560 --> 01:04:47,439
Speaker 5: be more than just a fifty fifty receiver. I feel

1664
01:04:47,440 --> 01:04:51,320
Speaker 5: like Mayak got better this year and then trace just

1665
01:04:51,520 --> 01:04:56,000
Speaker 5: like self. That self instance, I was talking about being

1666
01:04:56,040 --> 01:04:58,600
Speaker 5: able to mentally handle everything that's coming at me. Playing

1667
01:04:58,600 --> 01:05:00,920
Speaker 5: at Colorado, there's a lot going on, a lot of

1668
01:05:01,000 --> 01:05:03,160
Speaker 5: media attention, eyes on you, so it's a lot to

1669
01:05:03,200 --> 01:05:05,360
Speaker 5: handle at times, and just being able to handle.

1670
01:05:05,200 --> 01:05:06,480
Speaker 8: That all right.

1671
01:05:06,560 --> 01:05:09,160
Speaker 4: And then is there anything that you've heard people say

1672
01:05:09,200 --> 01:05:11,000
Speaker 4: about your game where you roll your eyes and you go,

1673
01:05:11,120 --> 01:05:13,120
Speaker 4: that's not true at all that you want to maybe

1674
01:05:13,600 --> 01:05:15,920
Speaker 4: disprove on the field in front of all coaches and

1675
01:05:15,960 --> 01:05:17,600
Speaker 4: scouts this week that's the Shrine bol.

1676
01:05:17,680 --> 01:05:21,760
Speaker 5: Yeah, I think I've seen people say separation issues, and

1677
01:05:21,760 --> 01:05:22,680
Speaker 5: I don't think that's gonna be an.

1678
01:05:22,640 --> 01:05:23,160
Speaker 7: Issue this week.
