It. 71 00:03:35,200 --> 00:03:37,360 Speaker 1: You know, it was kind of like uplifting, you know, 72 00:03:37,440 --> 00:03:42,760 Speaker 1: to see the steps, the journey, the process and where 73 00:03:42,800 --> 00:03:44,840 Speaker 1: I am now. You know, it kind of got me hype. 74 00:03:45,360 --> 00:03:49,400 Speaker 1: And also, like he said, it was a tough journey. 75 00:03:49,440 --> 00:03:52,800 Speaker 1: It was a tough process, and um, you know, making 76 00:03:52,840 --> 00:03:55,840 Speaker 1: it to where we are now, you know, it's not 77 00:03:55,920 --> 00:03:59,480 Speaker 1: easy to do. It's not easy to get injured, have 78 00:03:59,560 --> 00:04:02,640 Speaker 1: a tramp again, injury like that, and then go through 79 00:04:02,680 --> 00:04:05,440 Speaker 1: the work and make it back, you know, better than 80 00:04:05,480 --> 00:04:08,920 Speaker 1: where you were before you before you got injured. So 81 00:04:10,600 --> 00:04:12,880 Speaker 1: here we are and you know, it's a blessing to 82 00:04:12,920 --> 00:04:17,560 Speaker 1: be back.

You know, football is one of 181 00:09:19,760 --> 00:09:22,599 Speaker 1: the yeah it literally yeah right. Football is one of 182 00:09:22,640 --> 00:09:24,440 Speaker 1: the first things that we ever like got you know, 183 00:09:24,640 --> 00:09:29,160 Speaker 1: consistent joy, consistent feedback, consistent you know, you know, improvement. 184 00:09:29,280 --> 00:09:30,760 Speaker 1: Like it's like one of the fastest things in the 185 00:09:30,800 --> 00:09:32,480 Speaker 1: world that you can you know, you mess up the 186 00:09:32,559 --> 00:09:34,800 Speaker 1: day before you can come back and you can fix. 187 00:09:34,960 --> 00:09:37,400 Speaker 1: You know how you've seen in football. It ain't like 188 00:09:37,400 --> 00:09:38,839 Speaker 1: that in life. You know, you have a bad day 189 00:09:38,840 --> 00:09:41,880 Speaker 1: in life, it takes months years sometimes it just clean 190 00:09:42,000 --> 00:09:45,360 Speaker 1: up one bad day. So football is just something that 191 00:09:45,480 --> 00:09:49,040 Speaker 1: it's just it's like our release sometimes just from you know, 192 00:09:49,160 --> 00:09:51,360 Speaker 1: the world, because this is not real life. I want 193 00:09:51,360 --> 00:09:52,880 Speaker 1: to get to do this for such a short time. 194 00:09:52,960 --> 00:09:55,959 Speaker 1: So it's just like once they take it away from you, man, 195 00:09:56,120 --> 00:09:58,400 Speaker 1: just it's just you just so grateful just to get 196 00:09:58,440 --> 00:10:01,720 Speaker 1: every chance back because being heard it like a small 197 00:10:01,800 --> 00:10:07,200 Speaker 1: retirement a feel that's that's awesome perspective and something that 198 00:10:07,320 --> 00:10:10,080 Speaker 1: only a player can kind of you know, once you 199 00:10:10,120 --> 00:10:13,120 Speaker 1: go through that, it's it's uh to hear that is 200 00:10:13,280 --> 00:10:18,080 Speaker 1: it's kind of jarring. Um Keano I know um Cam 201 00:10:18,160 --> 00:10:21,679 Speaker 1: Chancellor a former Seahawk player. He said that he sees 202 00:10:21,720 --> 00:10:26,600 Speaker 1: a lot of himself in you. And I'm just wondering 203 00:10:26,720 --> 00:10:28,880 Speaker 1: when we sit here and talk about perspective and stuff 204 00:10:28,920 --> 00:10:33,319 Speaker 1: like that, and just Cam had such a tremendous career 205 00:10:33,400 --> 00:10:36,320 Speaker 1: and somebody ups, but he also had his challenges too 206 00:10:36,360 --> 00:10:38,840 Speaker 1: with like you know, with his injuries and stuff like that. 207 00:10:39,000 --> 00:10:42,600 Speaker 1: Is there any thing that you know in watching him 208 00:10:42,600 --> 00:10:45,680 Speaker 1: in his career that kind of now helps you in 209 00:10:45,720 --> 00:10:49,280 Speaker 1: any way and this past year at all or no, 210 00:10:50,080 --> 00:10:52,240 Speaker 1: this past year would like the injury, Yeah, I mean 211 00:10:52,240 --> 00:10:55,120 Speaker 1: because I know that, you know, he he's somebody that 212 00:10:55,160 --> 00:10:57,920 Speaker 1: reached out to you in the past, and he's so 213 00:10:58,000 --> 00:11:01,800 Speaker 1: high highly regarded. I'm just wondering if watching his career 214 00:11:01,800 --> 00:11:04,080 Speaker 1: and just what he's went through, if that's something that 215 00:11:04,480 --> 00:11:06,160 Speaker 1: has helped you in any way or give you more 216 00:11:06,240 --> 00:11:10,600 Speaker 1: perspective or or now I wouldn't say the like going 217 00:11:10,640 --> 00:11:15,079 Speaker 1: through the injury, it didn't really like make a huge 218 00:11:15,080 --> 00:11:20,320 Speaker 1: difference but the like staying connected with him and communicate 219 00:11:20,360 --> 00:11:25,560 Speaker 1: with him and just kind of seeing the person you 220 00:11:25,600 --> 00:11:30,079 Speaker 1: know and the player that helps me. You know, like 221 00:11:30,200 --> 00:11:32,560 Speaker 1: people who are like that, people who you know, have 222 00:11:32,640 --> 00:11:35,400 Speaker 1: respect off the field and on the field and play 223 00:11:35,440 --> 00:11:37,800 Speaker 1: the way he plays because of the physicality and everything, 224 00:11:37,840 --> 00:11:41,520 Speaker 1: and we correlate in that way. But he's just a 225 00:11:41,520 --> 00:11:46,880 Speaker 1: good dude and he's helped me out in many different 226 00:11:46,920 --> 00:11:51,000 Speaker 1: ways the injury, Like, yeah, he reached out to me 227 00:11:51,120 --> 00:11:53,240 Speaker 1: and you know, checked them. He made sure I was 228 00:11:53,280 --> 00:12:01,000 Speaker 1: good and everything. But but yeah, that's about it. I 229 00:12:01,040 --> 00:12:04,280 Speaker 1: gotta ask you, guys, do you after you know, now 230 00:12:04,280 --> 00:12:07,520 Speaker 1: that you're back on the practice field and and you 231 00:12:07,880 --> 00:12:10,360 Speaker 1: guys saw your first action last Thursday night in the 232 00:12:10,360 --> 00:12:14,240 Speaker 1: preseason game against the Jets, did you you talk about 233 00:12:14,280 --> 00:12:16,960 Speaker 1: a little change of perspective a little bit? Do you 234 00:12:17,040 --> 00:12:19,480 Speaker 1: when you're up there in running out out of the 235 00:12:19,480 --> 00:12:23,560 Speaker 1: field now, is your perspective change? Maybe maybe you're not. 236 00:12:24,040 --> 00:12:26,720 Speaker 1: You're thinking about what you need to do assignment wise 237 00:12:26,760 --> 00:12:29,000 Speaker 1: and where you need to be and and you're making 238 00:12:29,000 --> 00:12:32,360 Speaker 1: your calls on defense, But is there kind of like 239 00:12:32,400 --> 00:12:34,160 Speaker 1: this feeling do you look at the game a little 240 00:12:34,160 --> 00:12:37,520 Speaker 1: differently at all? Now? Or no. Um. And you know 241 00:12:37,960 --> 00:12:39,959 Speaker 1: again I'm tossing this up to both of you, so 242 00:12:41,120 --> 00:12:44,520 Speaker 1: um yeah with me um. Kind of like I said, 243 00:12:44,559 --> 00:12:47,720 Speaker 1: when you when you kind of get a small, a 244 00:12:47,800 --> 00:12:50,520 Speaker 1: small taste of you know, just sitting down or just 245 00:12:50,559 --> 00:12:53,120 Speaker 1: being able to watch football. You know, that was my 246 00:12:53,160 --> 00:12:55,840 Speaker 1: first big injury. I've been going at it since, you know, 247 00:12:56,480 --> 00:12:58,680 Speaker 1: my freshman year in high school. And I've been training 248 00:12:58,840 --> 00:13:01,200 Speaker 1: you know, every off season, always training them, always focusing 249 00:13:01,240 --> 00:13:05,920 Speaker 1: on football every year in season. There's full fledge you know, football. 250 00:13:06,000 --> 00:13:09,480 Speaker 1: So when when during football season you actually get to 251 00:13:09,480 --> 00:13:11,920 Speaker 1: sit down and you're not playing football and you have 252 00:13:12,040 --> 00:13:15,120 Speaker 1: to you know, recovering or you know, and learn new 253 00:13:15,160 --> 00:13:16,720 Speaker 1: stuff all the time, and the only thing you can 254 00:13:16,800 --> 00:13:19,200 Speaker 1: do is work your you know, work your mind. Man. 255 00:13:19,240 --> 00:13:22,240 Speaker 1: It's like once you get back out there, it's like 256 00:13:22,280 --> 00:13:26,320 Speaker 1: you truly do understand that, like it only takes one play, 257 00:13:26,679 --> 00:13:28,280 Speaker 1: Like it only takes one player. I know a lot 258 00:13:28,280 --> 00:13:29,880 Speaker 1: of people always say you want to play every like 259 00:13:29,920 --> 00:13:32,640 Speaker 1: it's your last, and you know, within that is it 260 00:13:32,679 --> 00:13:34,720 Speaker 1: is pretty tough because you're gonna be tired, you're gonna 261 00:13:34,720 --> 00:13:38,520 Speaker 1: be not feeling good. But it does take just only 262 00:13:38,559 --> 00:13:41,520 Speaker 1: one play and you never know, because of us as athletes, 263 00:13:41,559 --> 00:13:43,000 Speaker 1: we spend a lot of money, we spend a lot 264 00:13:43,040 --> 00:13:45,800 Speaker 1: of time on our body. So typically if we feel 265 00:13:45,800 --> 00:13:48,160 Speaker 1: an injury or something about to come, most we will fight. Yeah, 266 00:13:48,160 --> 00:13:50,520 Speaker 1: we fighters, We fight through stuff, but if we think 267 00:13:50,520 --> 00:13:52,679 Speaker 1: we're gonna be going for a whole year, we'll probably 268 00:13:52,760 --> 00:13:55,800 Speaker 1: try to protect ourselves and pull ourselves out. So when 269 00:13:55,800 --> 00:13:58,200 Speaker 1: it comes to that and you don't know what play 270 00:13:58,240 --> 00:14:00,200 Speaker 1: it is, the only thing you can think of about 271 00:14:00,200 --> 00:14:02,880 Speaker 1: it is enjoying the ones on the field that you 272 00:14:03,000 --> 00:14:06,400 Speaker 1: have and and giving all that you got while you can. 273 00:14:06,760 --> 00:14:09,240 Speaker 1: Because like I listened to Ed reading Trump Pallamala when 274 00:14:09,240 --> 00:14:10,560 Speaker 1: I was being able to sit down this year, and 275 00:14:10,600 --> 00:14:14,480 Speaker 1: they talked about, you know, never waiting too late to 276 00:14:14,480 --> 00:14:17,280 Speaker 1: step out your sale because once it's over, it's over. 277 00:14:17,640 --> 00:14:20,360 Speaker 1: So it's like, with a little bit of time that 278 00:14:20,440 --> 00:14:22,320 Speaker 1: you have, whatever you want to give to your career, 279 00:14:22,400 --> 00:14:24,960 Speaker 1: whatever you want to do, man, just shoot take it. 280 00:14:25,560 --> 00:14:28,000 Speaker 1: You know, everybody ain't gonna like it, everybody ain't gonna 281 00:14:28,040 --> 00:14:30,360 Speaker 1: love it, but it's your career, is your life. You 282 00:14:30,360 --> 00:14:32,440 Speaker 1: actually only give one chance at it, so you just 283 00:14:32,440 --> 00:14:35,520 Speaker 1: gotta take it with that and go with it. Ricardo, 284 00:14:35,560 --> 00:14:38,400 Speaker 1: you surprised some people, maybe not those who know you 285 00:14:38,480 --> 00:14:41,120 Speaker 1: really well. But when you said, Hey, when this is 286 00:14:41,120 --> 00:14:43,320 Speaker 1: all said and done, I want to get into coaching 287 00:14:43,360 --> 00:14:47,880 Speaker 1: and I want to be an offensive coordinator, tell me 288 00:14:47,920 --> 00:14:50,040 Speaker 1: a little bit about that. I mean, you know a 289 00:14:50,080 --> 00:14:52,240 Speaker 1: lot of people were surprised that you wouldn't want to 290 00:14:52,240 --> 00:14:54,920 Speaker 1: coach on the defensive side. What is it about being 291 00:14:55,280 --> 00:14:57,680 Speaker 1: on the offensive side that is so intriguing to you? 292 00:14:57,800 --> 00:15:00,560 Speaker 1: Oh man, it's just you know, my whole life's work 293 00:15:00,640 --> 00:15:04,800 Speaker 1: as bid and I never was really like an offensive guy. So, um, 294 00:15:04,960 --> 00:15:08,040 Speaker 1: my whole life, I've been studying defense. So the thing 295 00:15:08,080 --> 00:15:10,920 Speaker 1: about defense is, you know, going to Purdue, you know, 296 00:15:11,000 --> 00:15:13,480 Speaker 1: the pluses and minuses of it is. You know, the 297 00:15:13,520 --> 00:15:15,600 Speaker 1: pluses is you get to learn a lot of you know, 298 00:15:16,040 --> 00:15:19,280 Speaker 1: defenses because you know, coaches get you know, switched out 299 00:15:19,360 --> 00:15:21,160 Speaker 1: and then you know, all the time out there. So 300 00:15:21,800 --> 00:15:23,680 Speaker 1: I was able to have like two or three different 301 00:15:23,720 --> 00:15:26,840 Speaker 1: you know, defensive coordinators playing you know, mostly every style 302 00:15:26,880 --> 00:15:29,320 Speaker 1: of defense, you know, just coming from college. And now 303 00:15:29,360 --> 00:15:32,400 Speaker 1: when I've gotten to the NFL, it's easily transitioned. So 304 00:15:32,920 --> 00:15:35,080 Speaker 1: you know, I can you know, take some of my 305 00:15:35,120 --> 00:15:37,880 Speaker 1: free time and not just keep studying the secondary stuff, 306 00:15:38,120 --> 00:15:40,000 Speaker 1: so I can study like the little nuances of what 307 00:15:40,040 --> 00:15:42,200 Speaker 1: the defensive line is doing, you know, all that kind 308 00:15:42,200 --> 00:15:44,640 Speaker 1: of stuff. So you know, I know the rules that 309 00:15:44,720 --> 00:15:47,040 Speaker 1: everybody have. I know, you know, the gray areas to 310 00:15:47,120 --> 00:15:51,320 Speaker 1: make so and how to manipulate the defense, you know, 311 00:15:51,400 --> 00:15:53,800 Speaker 1: the way that you know, some coaches you know, may 312 00:15:53,880 --> 00:15:57,480 Speaker 1: think like I know the true rules of what you 313 00:15:57,520 --> 00:16:00,960 Speaker 1: know it takes to be like eleven man defense. So yeah, 314 00:16:01,000 --> 00:16:02,680 Speaker 1: I sit there and draw plays all day. I thought 315 00:16:02,680 --> 00:16:04,760 Speaker 1: I'm manipulated, and you know, I think it'd be you know, 316 00:16:04,720 --> 00:16:06,960 Speaker 1: it'll be an easy challenge from me. What do you think, Keana, 317 00:16:06,960 --> 00:16:09,720 Speaker 1: Do you think he's gonna he's gonna make a good coach? Yeah, No, 318 00:16:09,840 --> 00:16:13,120 Speaker 1: for sure. He definitely has the brain for it. He's 319 00:16:13,160 --> 00:16:17,280 Speaker 1: cognitive and yeah, he's very good. This surprised you at 320 00:16:17,280 --> 00:16:20,080 Speaker 1: all when he said he wanted to be an offensive coordinator.

I 359 00:19:20,800 --> 00:19:23,840 Speaker 1: saw that speech on the sideline and it kind of 360 00:19:23,920 --> 00:19:27,040 Speaker 1: it kind of just just brought me back, like, yeah, 361 00:19:27,119 --> 00:19:30,320 Speaker 1: it's here, like we're back. Yeah, and it's a it's 362 00:19:30,320 --> 00:19:33,359 Speaker 1: a great feeling. Yeah. And DQ joked about that, he 363 00:19:33,400 --> 00:19:36,880 Speaker 1: said that he probably weren't too happy when you found 364 00:19:36,880 --> 00:19:41,200 Speaker 1: out you play against boy having him out, But that's awesome. 365 00:19:41,240 --> 00:19:44,040 Speaker 1: And what about you Ricardo, man, and like like Kiki 366 00:19:44,200 --> 00:19:46,040 Speaker 1: just said, man, it was it was just cool to 367 00:19:46,119 --> 00:19:48,840 Speaker 1: just be able to go back through like the journey 368 00:19:48,880 --> 00:19:51,560 Speaker 1: and just you know, have all that. You know, it's 369 00:19:51,600 --> 00:19:54,119 Speaker 1: a feeling that you get that football gives to you 370 00:19:54,240 --> 00:19:58,040 Speaker 1: that you know, it's like it's it's undescribable. Nothing else 371 00:19:58,119 --> 00:20:01,760 Speaker 1: like the adrenaline Russian you know, just the excitement just 372 00:20:01,800 --> 00:20:03,840 Speaker 1: to get back out there. Man. So like me being 373 00:20:03,880 --> 00:20:06,679 Speaker 1: able to you know, really you know, hit somebody in 374 00:20:06,840 --> 00:20:09,320 Speaker 1: you know, touch another team. You know that that was 375 00:20:09,400 --> 00:20:11,480 Speaker 1: that was cool, man, it was you know, it was 376 00:20:11,520 --> 00:20:13,359 Speaker 1: cool to just know I can do it again, man, 377 00:20:13,400 --> 00:20:15,600 Speaker 1: because you know, I'm always trying to prove it to 378 00:20:15,640 --> 00:20:17,480 Speaker 1: myself every time I can. I'm always trying to prove 379 00:20:17,520 --> 00:20:19,399 Speaker 1: it to myself. And you know, if I look at 380 00:20:19,440 --> 00:20:23,360 Speaker 1: it like that every day, look at every opportunity like that, man, 381 00:20:23,359 --> 00:20:26,520 Speaker 1: it's always gonna feel good every practice, every snap, every 382 00:20:26,520 --> 00:20:29,360 Speaker 1: preseason or not got to man, it's it's football, man, 383 00:20:29,520 --> 00:20:31,520 Speaker 1: It's football. If you if you start to look at 384 00:20:31,560 --> 00:20:34,719 Speaker 1: it like that and everything is important to you, you know, 385 00:20:35,119 --> 00:20:37,880 Speaker 1: like no plays is no count more than the other one. 386 00:20:37,960 --> 00:20:40,160 Speaker 1: You know, you just you just it's just what you do. 387 00:20:41,920 --> 00:20:45,720 Speaker 1: All right. So twenty nineteen, it's been a lot of 388 00:20:45,760 --> 00:20:48,480 Speaker 1: talk about the Falcon schedule. It's really interesting how it 389 00:20:48,560 --> 00:20:52,679 Speaker 1: sets up. You got that pretty interesting five game opening 390 00:20:52,720 --> 00:20:57,560 Speaker 1: stretch where you're you're at Minnesota, Philly finally back here. 391 00:20:57,960 --> 00:21:00,160 Speaker 1: Seems like the last few times it's been up there there, 392 00:21:01,160 --> 00:21:04,360 Speaker 1: uh add indeed versus Tennessee here and then at Houston, 393 00:21:04,440 --> 00:21:06,680 Speaker 1: and then you got a couple of West Coast teams 394 00:21:06,720 --> 00:21:08,680 Speaker 1: coming here. But then you got to buy smack dab 395 00:21:08,760 --> 00:21:11,520 Speaker 1: in the middle of the season, and then all six 396 00:21:12,280 --> 00:21:15,840 Speaker 1: NFC South games divisional games or at the second half 397 00:21:15,840 --> 00:21:18,960 Speaker 1: of the season. When you guys looked at the look 398 00:21:18,960 --> 00:21:21,960 Speaker 1: at the schedule, how how did do you like how 399 00:21:22,000 --> 00:21:23,840 Speaker 1: that schedule shapes up for you guys, having the buy 400 00:21:24,040 --> 00:21:26,840 Speaker 1: right in the middle as a break and then having 401 00:21:26,880 --> 00:21:29,280 Speaker 1: all the division games in the second half. That's kind 402 00:21:29,280 --> 00:21:33,120 Speaker 1: of it's it's kind of interesting because whether you're six 403 00:21:33,160 --> 00:21:37,520 Speaker 1: and two or four and four or five and three, yeah, 404 00:21:37,640 --> 00:21:42,920 Speaker 1: or you go yeah, eight eight, no, I'm sure Falcons 405 00:21:42,960 --> 00:21:48,840 Speaker 1: fans love to hear that. They love that time it's 406 00:21:49,359 --> 00:21:51,720 Speaker 1: you regardless, you go into that second half of the 407 00:21:51,720 --> 00:21:56,240 Speaker 1: season with everything on the table still um what are 408 00:21:56,240 --> 00:22:01,760 Speaker 1: your thoughts on the twenty nineteen schedule how it shapes up? Keanu? Uh, 409 00:22:01,800 --> 00:22:04,040 Speaker 1: I mean I haven't really checked it out like that, 410 00:22:04,200 --> 00:22:08,240 Speaker 1: but uh, from what you said the bye week being 411 00:22:08,280 --> 00:22:09,800 Speaker 1: in the middle of the season and having all the 412 00:22:09,840 --> 00:22:13,000 Speaker 1: division games, I mean the objective is to win a division. 413 00:22:13,359 --> 00:22:17,320 Speaker 1: Um so having them towards the end of the season 414 00:22:17,480 --> 00:22:20,800 Speaker 1: where we're just getting after it. I mean, obviously the 415 00:22:20,840 --> 00:22:27,560 Speaker 1: whole season is important, but that's has Uh it's more 416 00:22:27,560 --> 00:22:31,639 Speaker 1: important to win the division obviously. Uh So, you know, 417 00:22:31,720 --> 00:22:34,400 Speaker 1: having those towards the end is I think that's pretty good. 418 00:22:34,600 --> 00:22:36,439 Speaker 1: Like playing them all close together like that, does that 419 00:22:36,480 --> 00:22:38,479 Speaker 1: make a difference or now? Is it? I mean from 420 00:22:39,680 --> 00:22:42,800 Speaker 1: that is that for us, we don't really like we 421 00:22:42,880 --> 00:22:46,560 Speaker 1: treat every week the same, so like each week's championship week, 422 00:22:46,640 --> 00:22:48,679 Speaker 1: Like the way we prepare, like the way we go 423 00:22:48,800 --> 00:22:51,480 Speaker 1: through meetings, practice, it is all the same. It's the 424 00:22:51,520 --> 00:22:55,840 Speaker 1: same routine. Uh So we don't treat a team like 425 00:22:56,000 --> 00:22:59,600 Speaker 1: higher than the next if if if that makes sense? 426 00:23:00,119 --> 00:23:03,040 Speaker 1: So like yeah, like it's kind of like nameless, faceless. 427 00:23:03,480 --> 00:23:07,679 Speaker 1: You know, we we focus on us and when the 428 00:23:07,760 --> 00:23:11,040 Speaker 1: game comes, whoever's there, that's who we're that's who we're 429 00:23:11,040 --> 00:23:14,040 Speaker 1: battling against. So it's just all eyes on Minnesota right 430 00:23:14,080 --> 00:23:17,760 Speaker 1: now then week one, right yeah, um, any thoughts on 431 00:23:17,800 --> 00:23:19,600 Speaker 1: the schedule, and yeah, that's how I am too, Like 432 00:23:19,640 --> 00:23:23,040 Speaker 1: I never really look at the schedule as you can. Um, 433 00:23:23,480 --> 00:23:25,960 Speaker 1: it's fans. That's kind of fascinating because fans think that 434 00:23:26,359 --> 00:23:29,240 Speaker 1: you do. So yeah, but you know, like as as 435 00:23:29,400 --> 00:23:31,080 Speaker 1: as you can see with us last year, you never 436 00:23:31,119 --> 00:23:33,239 Speaker 1: really know who you playing against. You can look at 437 00:23:33,240 --> 00:23:36,000 Speaker 1: all these teams and see, you know, so many you know, 438 00:23:36,040 --> 00:23:39,399 Speaker 1: good players and so many top players. It's just you know, 439 00:23:39,440 --> 00:23:41,359 Speaker 1: it's injuries that happen all the time. You can be 440 00:23:41,359 --> 00:23:43,960 Speaker 1: focused in game planning for somebody that might not even 441 00:23:44,040 --> 00:23:45,760 Speaker 1: be out there. You can be you know, worried about 442 00:23:45,800 --> 00:23:47,920 Speaker 1: a team that looks, you know, like a superstar team 443 00:23:48,000 --> 00:23:50,199 Speaker 1: right now, and you know, you just never know what 444 00:23:50,240 --> 00:23:54,480 Speaker 1: happens week. It's different, that makes sense. It's totally different people. 445 00:23:54,480 --> 00:23:56,280 Speaker 1: So planning, all I can do is handle what I 446 00:23:56,280 --> 00:23:58,399 Speaker 1: can handle right now. You know, if I focus on 447 00:23:58,440 --> 00:24:00,800 Speaker 1: today and I work as hard as I cancer, shoot, 448 00:24:00,840 --> 00:24:03,200 Speaker 1: I think I think tomorrow will be okay, I get 449 00:24:03,240 --> 00:24:07,120 Speaker 1: there soon and then later all right, So we're gonna 450 00:24:07,119 --> 00:24:09,600 Speaker 1: wrap it up here. I gotta ask you, though, each 451 00:24:09,640 --> 00:24:13,280 Speaker 1: of you, what do you think of dan Quinn's defense 452 00:24:13,400 --> 00:24:16,359 Speaker 1: right now? With him taking over? What has been the 453 00:24:16,440 --> 00:24:19,520 Speaker 1: biggest difference? If you could just pinpoint one thing with 454 00:24:19,680 --> 00:24:25,240 Speaker 1: DQ calling the shots, I could just say me personally, 455 00:24:25,280 --> 00:24:28,600 Speaker 1: I would say that, Um, we're just getting back to 456 00:24:28,640 --> 00:24:31,080 Speaker 1: what we do. Just you know, cut people lose man, 457 00:24:31,160 --> 00:24:33,600 Speaker 1: Let your players, you know, play your players strength, you know, 458 00:24:33,960 --> 00:24:37,239 Speaker 1: play with you your reliable ones, you know, and you know, 459 00:24:37,440 --> 00:24:39,840 Speaker 1: give them as much information as you can and just 460 00:24:40,119 --> 00:24:43,040 Speaker 1: just let them just go. I've heard the term unleash 461 00:24:43,480 --> 00:24:46,840 Speaker 1: a few times, and I've heard the term more aggressive. 462 00:24:49,080 --> 00:24:52,320 Speaker 1: Isaiah Oliver was talking about how he's so much more 463 00:24:52,359 --> 00:24:55,399 Speaker 1: detail oriented. But once you kind of get that down, 464 00:24:55,920 --> 00:24:58,360 Speaker 1: you can play just more instinctively. Does that makes sense? 465 00:24:59,359 --> 00:25:02,520 Speaker 1: What about you? I mean to go off of that comment, 466 00:25:02,560 --> 00:25:06,439 Speaker 1: it's having a foundation and the details is the foundation. Okay, 467 00:25:06,520 --> 00:25:10,280 Speaker 1: Once you have that, you can you know, play with 468 00:25:10,400 --> 00:25:15,080 Speaker 1: more instinct and be instinctive and things like that. But uh, 469 00:25:15,320 --> 00:25:18,680 Speaker 1: going to your question about DQ, Um, he's gonna allow 470 00:25:18,760 --> 00:25:20,639 Speaker 1: us to play, you know, He's gonna put us in 471 00:25:20,680 --> 00:25:26,560 Speaker 1: position to make plays the players. So that's gonna be awesome. 472 00:25:26,600 --> 00:25:28,840 Speaker 1: I'm excited for it. You know, so far it's been 473 00:25:28,880 --> 00:25:35,000 Speaker 1: it's been great. It's awesome. Um, any one player surprised 474 00:25:35,000 --> 00:25:39,160 Speaker 1: you in camp so far? On defense, I'm gonna say. 475 00:25:39,280 --> 00:25:42,520 Speaker 1: I'm gonna say Larkin because he from Purdue. Oh yeah, 476 00:25:42,560 --> 00:25:44,440 Speaker 1: he at the end of Dad get Miami hit a 477 00:25:44,520 --> 00:25:47,159 Speaker 1: nice game. He even playing real good every day.
