1 00:00:00,280 --> 00:00:04,280 Speaker 1: Are you feel so good? Um? I always excited. Uh, 2 00:00:04,640 --> 00:00:07,720 Speaker 1: year five, starting your five training camp. It's fun to 3 00:00:07,720 --> 00:00:10,560 Speaker 1: see some of the fans back out there, um, you know, 4 00:00:10,680 --> 00:00:12,720 Speaker 1: kind of getting back to the normal team what it 5 00:00:12,840 --> 00:00:16,239 Speaker 1: was like my first and second year. Um, but it's fun. 6 00:00:16,280 --> 00:00:17,720 Speaker 1: You get to go out there play sports that you 7 00:00:17,760 --> 00:00:20,040 Speaker 1: love and try to get better every day. It's really 8 00:00:20,120 --> 00:00:22,720 Speaker 1: really But you know how you're feeling about about this 9 00:00:22,920 --> 00:00:25,000 Speaker 1: offense so far and about the way you're being used. 10 00:00:25,120 --> 00:00:27,360 Speaker 1: Oh yeah, I'm very excited. Um, not just for myself, 11 00:00:27,400 --> 00:00:30,440 Speaker 1: but for for all the offensive weapons. Um. You know, 12 00:00:31,040 --> 00:00:33,919 Speaker 1: I think Kafka, Dave's, you know, all the offensive coach 13 00:00:33,960 --> 00:00:36,160 Speaker 1: are doing a really good job of installing and and 14 00:00:36,320 --> 00:00:38,960 Speaker 1: seeing what we were able to do. And for us, 15 00:00:39,000 --> 00:00:41,760 Speaker 1: we just gotta get in the playbook, learn um and 16 00:00:41,800 --> 00:00:44,680 Speaker 1: take a day by that. What is the challenge trouble 17 00:00:44,720 --> 00:00:47,720 Speaker 1: office added motion? You know, I mean you gotta be 18 00:00:47,840 --> 00:00:51,320 Speaker 1: on point before the snap obviously, yeah, um, obviously you 19 00:00:51,360 --> 00:00:53,320 Speaker 1: gotta be locked in and you gotta be locked in. Uh. 20 00:00:53,720 --> 00:00:56,640 Speaker 1: You gotta take that time outside of football, outside the 21 00:00:56,640 --> 00:00:59,720 Speaker 1: meeting rooms, um too to learn your stuff and know 22 00:00:59,760 --> 00:01:01,760 Speaker 1: you're stuff. And you know, like I said, you're gonna 23 00:01:01,760 --> 00:01:04,720 Speaker 1: have You're gonna have your mistakes. Um. It's early in camp, 24 00:01:05,319 --> 00:01:07,399 Speaker 1: but that's where it's off. That's what training camps about, 25 00:01:07,560 --> 00:01:09,720 Speaker 1: coming here and trying new things. See what we can 26 00:01:09,720 --> 00:01:12,680 Speaker 1: do as offense, and um, see what we can add 27 00:01:13,080 --> 00:01:15,840 Speaker 1: to the offense of game plan when you get ready 28 00:01:15,880 --> 00:01:18,560 Speaker 1: for the season. What do you think that's going to do? Um? 29 00:01:18,600 --> 00:01:20,280 Speaker 1: You know, I mean you've been in a lot of 30 00:01:20,280 --> 00:01:22,520 Speaker 1: different systems and when there's all that motion, what do 31 00:01:22,560 --> 00:01:24,600 Speaker 1: you think I'm going to do for the contint They 32 00:01:24,720 --> 00:01:27,319 Speaker 1: said about creating count Yeah, I think I would just 33 00:01:27,360 --> 00:01:29,760 Speaker 1: elaborate on that creative conflict. Um, I don't think of 34 00:01:29,800 --> 00:01:31,360 Speaker 1: what it's gonna do. I kind of know it's gonna do. 35 00:01:31,560 --> 00:01:33,360 Speaker 1: You see it out in practice and force it the 36 00:01:33,440 --> 00:01:37,360 Speaker 1: defensive think um uh, and kind of put the advantage 37 00:01:37,360 --> 00:01:40,440 Speaker 1: in our hands and we gotta execute on pre snap, 38 00:01:40,480 --> 00:01:43,120 Speaker 1: execute post snap, um, and know what we gotta do 39 00:01:43,200 --> 00:01:45,600 Speaker 1: because it could be a weapon for us. But like 40 00:01:45,640 --> 00:01:47,800 Speaker 1: I said, can look too far ahead. I just gotta 41 00:01:47,880 --> 00:01:50,160 Speaker 1: keep working and get better day by that Is that 42 00:01:50,280 --> 00:01:53,800 Speaker 1: something that we'll continue to grow? You think they just 43 00:01:53,880 --> 00:01:56,279 Speaker 1: talking a little bit about how he has to remember 44 00:01:56,320 --> 00:01:58,320 Speaker 1: with emotions that he's gotten. Did you guys are in 45 00:01:58,400 --> 00:02:00,320 Speaker 1: year one? He's in year five or sex or whatever? 46 00:02:01,720 --> 00:02:04,400 Speaker 1: Is there more to it to it? I don't know. 47 00:02:04,720 --> 00:02:08,440 Speaker 1: I don't know. I wouldn't be surprised with days in Kafka. UM. 48 00:02:08,680 --> 00:02:11,520 Speaker 1: You know they're they're very very creative. All offensive coaches 49 00:02:11,520 --> 00:02:13,919 Speaker 1: are very creative. UM. And you know, we got a 50 00:02:13,960 --> 00:02:15,320 Speaker 1: lot of weapons, and we got a lot of talented 51 00:02:15,320 --> 00:02:18,680 Speaker 1: guys on both sides of the ball. Um. But you know, 52 00:02:18,800 --> 00:02:21,120 Speaker 1: we just gotta keep coming in, keep learning, and keep 53 00:02:21,120 --> 00:02:23,639 Speaker 1: getting better every single day. When I when we look 54 00:02:23,639 --> 00:02:26,560 Speaker 1: out there, actually you know, seems you're running a lot 55 00:02:26,560 --> 00:02:28,880 Speaker 1: more routes, not just you know into the flat. Uh 56 00:02:29,639 --> 00:02:32,880 Speaker 1: in this offense? How much do you see that being 57 00:02:33,000 --> 00:02:35,840 Speaker 1: more of something that you're gonna do? And what do 58 00:02:35,880 --> 00:02:37,440 Speaker 1: you think that can do for your game? If if, 59 00:02:37,800 --> 00:02:40,680 Speaker 1: if you do get that opportunity. Um, yeah, what do 60 00:02:40,760 --> 00:02:42,640 Speaker 1: I see it doing for myself? I just want to 61 00:02:42,639 --> 00:02:44,600 Speaker 1: be a versatile player and do whatever I can help 62 00:02:44,600 --> 00:02:47,280 Speaker 1: the team win. UM. So whatever coach asked me to do, 63 00:02:47,400 --> 00:02:49,400 Speaker 1: I'm gonna go out there and try my best at it. 64 00:02:49,520 --> 00:02:51,440 Speaker 1: And what if I need to work on, continue to 65 00:02:51,480 --> 00:02:54,440 Speaker 1: work on, UM and just involve my game. Um, that's 66 00:02:54,440 --> 00:02:56,639 Speaker 1: something I want to do, become an overall better player. 67 00:02:56,680 --> 00:02:58,959 Speaker 1: And I think this offense is given me the opportunity 68 00:02:58,960 --> 00:03:01,440 Speaker 1: to do that. So I ain't full and blessed to 69 00:03:01,480 --> 00:03:03,320 Speaker 1: have that. So for me, I gotta take advantage of 70 00:03:03,320 --> 00:03:07,080 Speaker 1: it by getting into getting facility taking actually many time 71 00:03:07,120 --> 00:03:10,040 Speaker 1: and I learned to playbook. Say, when you were coming 72 00:03:10,040 --> 00:03:12,320 Speaker 1: out of college, it was at least you've heard of 73 00:03:12,360 --> 00:03:15,240 Speaker 1: reports that there were times at practice where you'd work 74 00:03:15,320 --> 00:03:17,679 Speaker 1: with receivers and you work on your route running. Is 75 00:03:17,720 --> 00:03:20,240 Speaker 1: that accurate? And if so, how much time have you 76 00:03:20,280 --> 00:03:24,160 Speaker 1: put into not just running you know, standard routes, but 77 00:03:24,120 --> 00:03:26,480 Speaker 1: I think as many routes as you can. Um, yeah, 78 00:03:26,480 --> 00:03:29,080 Speaker 1: that's accurate. That's accurate statement in college, but every year 79 00:03:29,080 --> 00:03:31,360 Speaker 1: in the NFL. To be honest, Um, obviously I haven't 80 00:03:31,400 --> 00:03:33,400 Speaker 1: done in the past here or this is probably the 81 00:03:33,400 --> 00:03:35,760 Speaker 1: first time you guys ever witnessed me working on with 82 00:03:35,760 --> 00:03:38,400 Speaker 1: the wife series. But that's my all season training. Um. 83 00:03:38,440 --> 00:03:39,880 Speaker 1: You know, I do running back drills, a lot of 84 00:03:39,960 --> 00:03:43,000 Speaker 1: running back drills. But um, so I can expand my 85 00:03:43,000 --> 00:03:45,400 Speaker 1: game to be more versatile. You know when we do 86 00:03:45,480 --> 00:03:49,000 Speaker 1: offensive trips or you know DJ needs someone to throw um. 87 00:03:49,040 --> 00:03:50,400 Speaker 1: You know he called the watch series and I try 88 00:03:50,400 --> 00:03:52,360 Speaker 1: to make sure I'm there, uh and just try to 89 00:03:52,440 --> 00:03:54,400 Speaker 1: learn because I said, I wanna do whever I can't 90 00:03:54,400 --> 00:03:56,760 Speaker 1: help this team win and UM expand my game. So 91 00:03:57,120 --> 00:03:58,960 Speaker 1: just wherever coach needs me to do, whatever they asked 92 00:03:59,000 --> 00:04:00,839 Speaker 1: me to do, just go go there and trauma best. 93 00:04:01,960 --> 00:04:04,760 Speaker 1: It's been like ten questions and nobody's asked you about 94 00:04:04,800 --> 00:04:07,000 Speaker 1: the A c L. I mean, do you sit there 95 00:04:07,040 --> 00:04:09,000 Speaker 1: and ever look at yourself and say, am I ever 96 00:04:09,040 --> 00:04:12,800 Speaker 1: gonna be the guy who lit up the leguas a rookie? UM? 97 00:04:12,840 --> 00:04:15,920 Speaker 1: I can't focus on that. You know, I know what 98 00:04:15,960 --> 00:04:19,000 Speaker 1: I'm capable of doing. UM. I know how I know 99 00:04:19,240 --> 00:04:22,279 Speaker 1: the talent that I have. UM. And the way I 100 00:04:22,320 --> 00:04:24,640 Speaker 1: kind of think of it is how you know, kind 101 00:04:24,680 --> 00:04:27,120 Speaker 1: of saying mindset. When I first came into league, whenever 102 00:04:27,160 --> 00:04:29,000 Speaker 1: one asked me what's my expectations is? And what's this 103 00:04:29,080 --> 00:04:30,880 Speaker 1: and that? And the way I kind of just look 104 00:04:30,880 --> 00:04:32,720 Speaker 1: at life is if I take care of the little 105 00:04:32,720 --> 00:04:34,320 Speaker 1: things to take care of day by day, the rest 106 00:04:34,360 --> 00:04:36,520 Speaker 1: will take care of yourself. UM and control. But I 107 00:04:36,520 --> 00:04:38,640 Speaker 1: can control the last couple of years, a lot of 108 00:04:38,680 --> 00:04:42,640 Speaker 1: things been out of my control. Um speaking injuries, Uh, 109 00:04:42,720 --> 00:04:45,960 Speaker 1: just some freak accidents. Um. But I know the work 110 00:04:45,960 --> 00:04:48,799 Speaker 1: that I put in and how hard I train, and um, 111 00:04:48,880 --> 00:04:51,680 Speaker 1: you know how I challenge my body and challenge my mind. Uh. 112 00:04:51,760 --> 00:04:54,719 Speaker 1: So I know what I'm capable of doing. And for me, 113 00:04:54,960 --> 00:04:57,400 Speaker 1: I can't look too far into the future. UM. I 114 00:04:57,440 --> 00:05:00,160 Speaker 1: can't get caught up in Oh you know when I 115 00:05:00,160 --> 00:05:01,359 Speaker 1: get back just what I'm gonna do or just what 116 00:05:01,360 --> 00:05:02,880 Speaker 1: I'm gonna do. I can't focus on that. I got 117 00:05:02,960 --> 00:05:06,640 Speaker 1: to focus on getting back in there, getting my acupuncture done, 118 00:05:06,720 --> 00:05:10,360 Speaker 1: getting to my meetings, getting watching film, going home, getting 119 00:05:10,360 --> 00:05:12,599 Speaker 1: some good sleeping my bider, recovered any worry about the 120 00:05:12,600 --> 00:05:14,719 Speaker 1: next day. And if I could have that mindset and 121 00:05:14,800 --> 00:05:16,840 Speaker 1: take care of that, um, the rest of take care 122 00:05:16,839 --> 00:05:20,040 Speaker 1: of So I mentioned it's your fifth training camp, flying 123 00:05:20,080 --> 00:05:26,599 Speaker 1: by right, yeah, flying by? Uh um yeah, and maybe 124 00:05:26,640 --> 00:05:29,000 Speaker 1: you never know. Uh. Like I said, I can't really 125 00:05:29,000 --> 00:05:32,039 Speaker 1: look too far in it. Um. But twenty five now, 126 00:05:32,520 --> 00:05:35,719 Speaker 1: um year five and one the older one older guys 127 00:05:35,720 --> 00:05:39,039 Speaker 1: in the in the building. UM, and you know I've 128 00:05:39,040 --> 00:05:40,960 Speaker 1: been through a lot of ups and downs. I got 129 00:05:41,080 --> 00:05:43,360 Speaker 1: used that to my advantage. UM. I can use that 130 00:05:43,400 --> 00:05:46,200 Speaker 1: to lead, especially with some of the adversity that I 131 00:05:46,240 --> 00:05:48,120 Speaker 1: had had to deal with the last couple of years. 132 00:05:48,160 --> 00:05:50,520 Speaker 1: So I think that not only helped me as an athlete, 133 00:05:50,520 --> 00:05:52,160 Speaker 1: but you know, just as a person, as a man, 134 00:05:52,240 --> 00:05:54,720 Speaker 1: as a brother, um, and as a teammate and UM 135 00:05:54,760 --> 00:05:56,560 Speaker 1: just try to be there and lead the best I can. 136 00:05:56,600 --> 00:05:59,800 Speaker 1: But the stuff that I learned and the previous four 137 00:05:59,839 --> 00:06:01,840 Speaker 1: years is in the stuff I will continue on. Do 138 00:06:01,839 --> 00:06:03,479 Speaker 1: you think this team will be in a position to 139 00:06:03,520 --> 00:06:07,240 Speaker 1: win before your time year is up where it was, 140 00:06:07,279 --> 00:06:10,480 Speaker 1: whether that's one year, five years, seven more. I mean 141 00:06:10,480 --> 00:06:12,080 Speaker 1: that's what you hope, right I mean, you hope to 142 00:06:12,400 --> 00:06:14,760 Speaker 1: come to the the spot and whenever that may be, and 143 00:06:15,040 --> 00:06:17,800 Speaker 1: whenever you're you're done with that spot better than what 144 00:06:18,080 --> 00:06:21,839 Speaker 1: it was when you came in. But I've really I'm 145 00:06:21,880 --> 00:06:24,960 Speaker 1: really confident in our coaching staff. I'm really confident in 146 00:06:25,520 --> 00:06:27,839 Speaker 1: everyone building just a system that we have in place. 147 00:06:27,880 --> 00:06:30,000 Speaker 1: And you can't get too caught up in the wins 148 00:06:30,000 --> 00:06:31,920 Speaker 1: and losses right now. You know, you just got focused 149 00:06:31,920 --> 00:06:34,640 Speaker 1: on taking care of every single day. And I know 150 00:06:34,720 --> 00:06:38,000 Speaker 1: it sounding a broken record or I know I sound like, oh, um, 151 00:06:38,040 --> 00:06:39,520 Speaker 1: this is what coach days are saying. This is what 152 00:06:39,520 --> 00:06:41,479 Speaker 1: everyone's saying that we sounding gets a broken record, but 153 00:06:41,760 --> 00:06:43,480 Speaker 1: that I truly believe that. I truly believe if you 154 00:06:43,600 --> 00:06:46,120 Speaker 1: just focus on the little things day by day, um, 155 00:06:46,480 --> 00:06:49,280 Speaker 1: the rest will take care. So you've mentioned your your five. 156 00:06:49,720 --> 00:06:51,559 Speaker 1: You know, the last a couple of years haven't gone 157 00:06:51,920 --> 00:06:54,760 Speaker 1: as you wanted and the contract of it, so you're 158 00:06:54,760 --> 00:06:56,719 Speaker 1: not time past this year or so how big a 159 00:06:56,760 --> 00:07:00,080 Speaker 1: season does this make it for you? Um? Yeah, the 160 00:07:00,120 --> 00:07:02,599 Speaker 1: last two years not going how I wanted. You know, 161 00:07:02,680 --> 00:07:04,960 Speaker 1: I kind of have been reflecting on that.
