When 11 00:00:32,000 --> 00:00:34,440 Speaker 1: there's a five straight you gotta deg tests coming to town, 12 00:00:34,479 --> 00:00:35,680 Speaker 1: the best team name and see how do you guys 13 00:00:35,680 --> 00:00:38,920 Speaker 1: feel heading into them. I think we're pretty confident this week. 14 00:00:39,320 --> 00:00:41,320 Speaker 1: Yesterday we had to solid practice, so trying to just 15 00:00:41,360 --> 00:00:45,320 Speaker 1: make this week really good, really well for us to 16 00:00:46,320 --> 00:00:49,280 Speaker 1: keep up on the pedal, man. But just confident, really 17 00:00:49,280 --> 00:00:53,159 Speaker 1: really confident and what we do, our scheme and the 18 00:00:53,200 --> 00:00:55,160 Speaker 1: way we play, man. You know, we've been growing, so 19 00:00:55,760 --> 00:01:03,040 Speaker 1: the confidence is really high. Jordan or Lebron, True, I'm Lebron. Honestly. 20 00:01:03,320 --> 00:01:07,520 Speaker 1: The sweater is just very awesome. But Lebron, Dude, I 21 00:01:08,120 --> 00:01:10,440 Speaker 1: went to the Laker Game of the Night. Celtics want 22 00:01:10,480 --> 00:01:12,320 Speaker 1: shout out to them, but it's just crazy to see 23 00:01:12,360 --> 00:01:17,320 Speaker 1: him in person. Still, when you talk about your confidence 24 00:01:17,360 --> 00:01:19,440 Speaker 1: in the scheme of the way, but how would you 25 00:01:19,480 --> 00:01:24,440 Speaker 1: describe the identity right now? Um, that's a good question. 26 00:01:24,440 --> 00:01:32,400 Speaker 1: I would say, Um, comfortable. I would say, like everybody 27 00:01:32,480 --> 00:01:35,280 Speaker 1: knows exactly what they're doing. You know, nobody's out there 28 00:01:35,319 --> 00:01:37,800 Speaker 1: like I don't know where to go. I don't know 29 00:01:37,840 --> 00:01:40,040 Speaker 1: who to block, Like Mac is doing a really good 30 00:01:40,120 --> 00:01:43,200 Speaker 1: job of setting the mic setting you know where the 31 00:01:43,280 --> 00:01:46,360 Speaker 1: linemen need to go, so it's it's easiest move. Receivers 32 00:01:46,400 --> 00:01:48,400 Speaker 1: are doing a good job of knowing who we need 33 00:01:48,440 --> 00:01:50,880 Speaker 1: to block when it comes to the run, game routes 34 00:01:51,080 --> 00:01:52,920 Speaker 1: and and everything like that. So I would say like, 35 00:01:52,960 --> 00:01:56,000 Speaker 1: we're we're just in a really good place. Nobody's panicking 36 00:01:56,000 --> 00:01:58,720 Speaker 1: out there, you know it's not You don't see nobody rushing. 37 00:01:58,880 --> 00:02:00,840 Speaker 1: Like I said, I used to rush the preseason. Now 38 00:02:00,880 --> 00:02:03,080 Speaker 1: it's like I know exactly what I need to do, 39 00:02:03,120 --> 00:02:05,400 Speaker 1: where I need to be, and it's just better playing 40 00:02:05,400 --> 00:02:07,680 Speaker 1: that way, relaxed and comfortable knowing exactly what we need 41 00:02:07,720 --> 00:02:10,280 Speaker 1: to do. Did it take longer to get there than 42 00:02:10,320 --> 00:02:12,480 Speaker 1: you thought it would or was it just right on 43 00:02:12,560 --> 00:02:14,359 Speaker 1: times or or did you like you said, when you 44 00:02:14,440 --> 00:02:17,079 Speaker 1: rushing we get there. That's a great question. Yeah, I 45 00:02:17,120 --> 00:02:20,480 Speaker 1: think it's right on time, honestly. You know, Bill emphasizes, 46 00:02:20,520 --> 00:02:23,200 Speaker 1: you know, football starting now after Thanksgiving and stuff like that. 47 00:02:23,280 --> 00:02:26,440 Speaker 1: So we are growing well at the perfect time of 48 00:02:27,240 --> 00:02:29,040 Speaker 1: you know, where we want to put ourselves in the 49 00:02:29,040 --> 00:02:31,960 Speaker 1: playoff picture. Like not saying we're worried about the playoffs, 50 00:02:32,000 --> 00:02:34,920 Speaker 1: but you know, it's these games are important for us 51 00:02:34,960 --> 00:02:38,960 Speaker 1: to set ourselves up for later on in It's just 52 00:02:39,320 --> 00:02:42,280 Speaker 1: it's crazy how timing works. I think everything is about timing, 53 00:02:42,919 --> 00:02:47,320 Speaker 1: and everybody's just jelling perfectly. Man, Like the locker room 54 00:02:47,360 --> 00:02:50,000 Speaker 1: is really close, and I think that's just helping us 55 00:02:50,120 --> 00:02:53,120 Speaker 1: move even faster. So us being close off the field 56 00:02:53,560 --> 00:02:57,760 Speaker 1: just helps it on the field. So it's just jelling. Well, 57 00:02:57,800 --> 00:03:00,120 Speaker 1: you've caught all the one of your targets of the 58 00:03:00,160 --> 00:03:03,120 Speaker 1: last three games. Do you feel like your connection with 59 00:03:03,200 --> 00:03:06,480 Speaker 1: Mac on the field is something that's continuing to grow 60 00:03:06,520 --> 00:03:09,200 Speaker 1: as the season goes on. Yeah, and it starts at practice, 61 00:03:09,280 --> 00:03:12,480 Speaker 1: you know, Like we just try to be on time 62 00:03:12,560 --> 00:03:15,520 Speaker 1: all the time. Like everything we do is just trying 63 00:03:15,520 --> 00:03:18,040 Speaker 1: to do it perfect as we can and make it 64 00:03:18,080 --> 00:03:20,480 Speaker 1: as easy as we can, you know, like me running 65 00:03:20,520 --> 00:03:22,280 Speaker 1: my route perfect. You know, all I focus on is 66 00:03:22,280 --> 00:03:24,880 Speaker 1: my technique so that I can make that throw as 67 00:03:24,919 --> 00:03:28,000 Speaker 1: easy as possible for him. So when he sees the window, 68 00:03:28,040 --> 00:03:29,840 Speaker 1: you know, and mac is really well, I put it 69 00:03:29,880 --> 00:03:32,400 Speaker 1: on the spot. So I don't need ten yards fire 70 00:03:32,440 --> 00:03:34,800 Speaker 1: yards separation. I just need to be in front of 71 00:03:34,840 --> 00:03:36,520 Speaker 1: the guy, and he does a pretty good job making 72 00:03:36,520 --> 00:03:39,760 Speaker 1: it happen. So I think, yeah, just had practice, always 73 00:03:39,760 --> 00:03:43,040 Speaker 1: practicing hard, practicing how we play. I say that all 74 00:03:43,080 --> 00:03:44,800 Speaker 1: the time out there to my guys, like, let's practice 75 00:03:44,800 --> 00:03:46,760 Speaker 1: how we play, percice, how we play, and then the 76 00:03:46,800 --> 00:03:55,880 Speaker 1: result comes from that. What ares high level for a 77 00:03:55,920 --> 00:03:58,880 Speaker 1: long time. I respect him, really really respect him. I've 78 00:03:58,880 --> 00:04:02,080 Speaker 1: been seeing him my career, all through my career making plays, 79 00:04:02,880 --> 00:04:05,680 Speaker 1: being a highlight player. You know, he's a ball hawk, 80 00:04:05,800 --> 00:04:09,160 Speaker 1: so um, just just scheming against him, you know, trying 81 00:04:09,160 --> 00:04:10,720 Speaker 1: to go away, go away from him, not try to 82 00:04:10,760 --> 00:04:13,760 Speaker 1: attack him. You know, we're good at taking their best 83 00:04:13,760 --> 00:04:15,960 Speaker 1: players out of the game, so it's just another one 84 00:04:16,000 --> 00:04:18,119 Speaker 1: of them weeks and and respecting him as a player 85 00:04:18,200 --> 00:04:21,839 Speaker 1: and just trying to avoid them. How much do the 86 00:04:21,920 --> 00:04:23,839 Speaker 1: run game being involved in the run game as the 87 00:04:23,880 --> 00:04:27,320 Speaker 1: ball carrier? How much did that help let me? Just 88 00:04:27,640 --> 00:04:32,000 Speaker 1: because yeah, no, it's definitely new for me, Like, uh, 89 00:04:32,520 --> 00:04:34,760 Speaker 1: I've never really ran the ball. How how they used 90 00:04:34,800 --> 00:04:36,680 Speaker 1: me here? And I enjoy it. I love it. It's 91 00:04:37,400 --> 00:04:41,240 Speaker 1: it gives us a versatility, um, and Josh just does 92 00:04:41,240 --> 00:04:43,120 Speaker 1: a really good job of doing it at the perfect time, 93 00:04:43,200 --> 00:04:45,640 Speaker 1: Like he'll make it, He'll run right, right, right, then 94 00:04:45,680 --> 00:04:48,960 Speaker 1: we'll come back go left, like, and defenses are just confused. 95 00:04:48,960 --> 00:04:51,000 Speaker 1: I don't really know what's going on. So it's just 96 00:04:51,040 --> 00:04:52,800 Speaker 1: about me getting better in that role too, Like I 97 00:04:52,839 --> 00:04:55,400 Speaker 1: could rush better, do things better. But he uses all 98 00:04:55,440 --> 00:04:57,360 Speaker 1: of us well, Like it's not even just me rushing 99 00:04:57,400 --> 00:05:00,200 Speaker 1: the ball. So it's just a different threat and a 100 00:05:00,360 --> 00:05:04,240 Speaker 1: defense is hated. What was that the first conversation with Josh, 101 00:05:04,279 --> 00:05:07,360 Speaker 1: Like when he approach you can't ring the ball? Um, 102 00:05:07,400 --> 00:05:09,120 Speaker 1: it was kind of exciting, man, Like, you know, I 103 00:05:09,160 --> 00:05:11,440 Speaker 1: want to be everything they want me to be, Like 104 00:05:11,520 --> 00:05:14,720 Speaker 1: I'm trying to grow as they as they playing like 105 00:05:14,880 --> 00:05:17,960 Speaker 1: and that's that's everything for any player. You know what 106 00:05:18,000 --> 00:05:20,400 Speaker 1: they expect from you. You want to do at the 107 00:05:20,400 --> 00:05:22,960 Speaker 1: best of your ability and when you get better at it, 108 00:05:22,960 --> 00:05:25,880 Speaker 1: it just feels better. It gets easier, and you get 109 00:05:25,920 --> 00:05:28,720 Speaker 1: more confident, and like, I'm just getting more confident. Honestly, 110 00:05:28,760 --> 00:05:30,760 Speaker 1: I just need to finish better. I keep getting tackled 111 00:05:30,760 --> 00:05:33,000 Speaker 1: to the side and hit to the side, so I 112 00:05:33,040 --> 00:05:35,320 Speaker 1: need to put my paths down when the drains over 113 00:05:35,360 --> 00:05:38,320 Speaker 1: and just get the extra yards. But overall, it's just 114 00:05:38,360 --> 00:05:41,160 Speaker 1: a it's a great scheme and and Josh knows how 115 00:05:41,160 --> 00:05:42,880 Speaker 1: to use all of us perfectly, and he knows how 116 00:05:42,920 --> 00:05:44,680 Speaker 1: to get through to us to make us play a 117 00:05:44,680 --> 00:05:48,640 Speaker 1: certain way too. You're a career high and I'm vision 118 00:05:48,640 --> 00:05:51,120 Speaker 1: to get along ago this season. Did you been visioning 119 00:05:51,160 --> 00:05:53,800 Speaker 1: yourself making an impact like the one you're making, you know, 120 00:05:53,839 --> 00:05:55,760 Speaker 1: when you signed here in this off season? Yeah. Man, 121 00:05:55,800 --> 00:05:57,680 Speaker 1: I try to vision everything, you know, played out in 122 00:05:57,720 --> 00:06:00,559 Speaker 1: my mind before I even do it. And like literally 123 00:06:00,560 --> 00:06:03,039 Speaker 1: with everything in life and coming here, you know, I 124 00:06:03,160 --> 00:06:07,760 Speaker 1: visioned it, planned it out like this is my best option, 125 00:06:07,839 --> 00:06:11,200 Speaker 1: and it really was, and they're developing me perfectly. But 126 00:06:11,520 --> 00:06:14,760 Speaker 1: it's just it's just crazy how it is playing out, man. Like, 127 00:06:14,880 --> 00:06:16,600 Speaker 1: I mean, I didn't think it's going It's good, but 128 00:06:16,880 --> 00:06:18,560 Speaker 1: we got to keep it up, you know, not get 129 00:06:18,560 --> 00:06:21,880 Speaker 1: ahead of myself, not dwelling the pass. Just live in 130 00:06:21,920 --> 00:06:24,520 Speaker 1: a moment and make the most of each moment, you know, 131 00:06:24,520 --> 00:06:26,799 Speaker 1: Because you make the best of the moment, the future 132 00:06:26,880 --> 00:06:29,560 Speaker 1: is better. So that's just kind of my mindset. What 133 00:06:29,680 --> 00:06:35,279 Speaker 1: have you envisioned for this Sunday? Oh? Man, Man, That's 134 00:06:35,279 --> 00:06:37,960 Speaker 1: why I've envisioned. We've been really doing really well. So 135 00:06:38,800 --> 00:06:40,600 Speaker 1: just winning. Man, It's really just the only thing in 136 00:06:40,640 --> 00:06:42,920 Speaker 1: my min. I don't think about players I make. I 137 00:06:43,240 --> 00:06:46,479 Speaker 1: kind of envisioned players once we stadium go through them, 138 00:06:46,560 --> 00:06:48,760 Speaker 1: but uh, night at night, I don't really envision that, 139 00:06:48,920 --> 00:06:51,880 Speaker 1: like me score, I just think about winning. Focusing on winning, 140 00:06:51,920 --> 00:06:54,560 Speaker 1: and that brings usually everything we've done. A lot of 141 00:06:54,560 --> 00:06:57,160 Speaker 1: guys twenty four hours say, well, we got to keep 142 00:06:57,160 --> 00:06:59,000 Speaker 1: the same mindset we have when we were two and four. 143 00:07:00,040 --> 00:07:01,599 Speaker 1: How do you do that when you're seven and four 144 00:07:01,800 --> 00:07:06,640 Speaker 1: Now you're you're yeah, yeah, definitely the targets, man, So 145 00:07:07,640 --> 00:07:11,120 Speaker 1: just about you know, plan as hard as we did 146 00:07:11,200 --> 00:07:13,360 Speaker 1: back then to fix where we were at. Like that's 147 00:07:13,360 --> 00:07:17,280 Speaker 1: the biggest thing. And just being consistent. Consistent is consistent 148 00:07:17,400 --> 00:07:20,960 Speaker 1: is everything. Like it's easy to get comfortable where we're at. 149 00:07:22,040 --> 00:07:25,240 Speaker 1: It's plays comfortable and comfortable, but it's like it's a 150 00:07:25,240 --> 00:07:27,840 Speaker 1: different comfortable. It's more confident and comfortable, Like we know 151 00:07:28,080 --> 00:07:30,680 Speaker 1: we can beat you. We know we have the tools 152 00:07:30,720 --> 00:07:34,240 Speaker 1: and ability to do anything we want. So um, it's 153 00:07:34,280 --> 00:07:37,000 Speaker 1: just like we don't want to be there and we 154 00:07:37,040 --> 00:07:39,440 Speaker 1: know where we're headed. So like it's it's kind of 155 00:07:39,520 --> 00:07:42,240 Speaker 1: played itself out already, so it's just about us being consistent. 156 00:07:43,120 --> 00:07:44,400 Speaker 1: I'm thank you guys.
