22
00:01:10,800 --> 00:01:13,040
Speaker 1: I don't I don't, uh, I don't know. It takes

23
00:01:13,040 --> 00:01:15,360
Speaker 1: my body a while to get acclumated, you know. So

24
00:01:15,360 --> 00:01:17,240

29
00:01:30,160 --> 00:01:34,560
Speaker 1: Manson Square Garden for the latest UFC fights. What was

30
00:01:34,600 --> 00:01:36,880
Speaker 1: that like? On Saturday night? That was my first time

31
00:01:36,959 --> 00:01:41,520
Speaker 1: ever attending to fight. And it's really cool, man. It's different.

32
00:01:41,560 --> 00:01:44,000
Speaker 1: You know you kind of have people going in and out. Um,

33
00:01:44,120 --> 00:01:46,000
Speaker 1: all of a sudden at the end of the stadium

34
00:01:46,040 --> 00:01:47,560
Speaker 1: is full, but you kind of like, how do you

35
00:01:47,560 --> 00:01:48,920
Speaker 1: get this way? You know, no one was sitting down

36
00:01:49,000 --> 00:01:52,280
Speaker 1: ten minutes ago, and um, yeah, man, it was really cool.

37
00:01:52,280 --> 00:01:53,960
Speaker 1: You know, you got a lot of emotion depending on

38
00:01:54,120 --> 00:01:56,480
Speaker 1: you know, who you think is gonna win. And and uh,

39
00:01:56,600 --> 00:01:58,000
Speaker 1: I didn't know. I was honestly as big of a

40
00:01:58,000 --> 00:01:59,360
Speaker 1: fan as I ended up being by the end of

41
00:01:59,360 --> 00:02:01,480
Speaker 1: that night. So it was really cool too. You know,

42
00:02:02,160 --> 00:02:04,520
Speaker 1: experience at UFC fight, What was your favorite fight of

43
00:02:04,600 --> 00:02:06,960
Speaker 1: the evening? And can you talk about your partnership with

44
00:02:07,000 --> 00:02:10,040
Speaker 1: that location what you were doing throughout the evening. Yeah, so, um,

45
00:02:10,120 --> 00:02:14,040
Speaker 1: on Location provided us with a suite. Um, I did

46
00:02:14,080 --> 00:02:16,720
Speaker 1: an interview before we did the before we went up

47
00:02:16,720 --> 00:02:18,239
Speaker 1: and got in the Swede and got to our seats,

48
00:02:18,240 --> 00:02:20,600
Speaker 1: we did an interview which was really cool and UM

49
00:02:20,720 --> 00:02:23,280
Speaker 1: overall just just made it a good, good experience for me.

50
00:02:23,280 --> 00:02:24,600
Speaker 1: You know, I didn't really know what I was getting

51
00:02:24,600 --> 00:02:26,959
Speaker 1: into going to the fight, but they kind of guided

52
00:02:27,000 --> 00:02:28,320
Speaker 1: me through it, tell me where I was going, show

53
00:02:28,360 --> 00:02:30,919
Speaker 1: me how to get around MSG and walked past Stephen

54
00:02:30,960 --> 00:02:33,240
Speaker 1: the you got to say hello, you know, stuff like that. Man.

55
00:02:33,280 --> 00:02:36,280
Speaker 1: It was cool. UM. So yeah, No, on Location was

56
00:02:36,480 --> 00:02:39,359
Speaker 1: really helpful. But UM, tell me what the tell me what.

57
00:02:39,400 --> 00:02:40,880
Speaker 1: The first part of the question was on sorry your

58
00:02:40,880 --> 00:02:46,040
Speaker 1: favorite brawl the evening, favorite fight of the evening at

59
00:02:46,040 --> 00:02:48,160
Speaker 1: a son your loss? So I had to say, way Lee,

60
00:02:48,280 --> 00:02:52,000
Speaker 1: I believe her name was UM the co main event.

61
00:02:52,680 --> 00:02:54,600
Speaker 1: She was She was awesome. I feel like she got

62
00:02:54,600 --> 00:02:56,080
Speaker 1: it done fast. I kind of knew she was gonna

63
00:02:56,080 --> 00:02:58,880
Speaker 1: get it done fast. UM and I kind of watched

64
00:02:58,880 --> 00:03:00,640
Speaker 1: like some YouTube videos before are leading up at her

65
00:03:00,639 --> 00:03:02,040
Speaker 1: because I just heard she was a beast and Taytor

66
00:03:02,120 --> 00:03:04,359
Speaker 1: was all in on it and she did a good job,

67
00:03:04,520 --> 00:03:07,000
Speaker 1: so she was fun to watch the main event. What's

68
00:03:07,040 --> 00:03:10,480
Speaker 1: your major takeaway from that where somebody has control for

69
00:03:10,840 --> 00:03:15,560
Speaker 1: four rounds and then something flips. Yeah, I mean I

70
00:03:15,560 --> 00:03:18,400
Speaker 1: feel like I feel like Pereira had his his mindset

71
00:03:18,400 --> 00:03:19,959
Speaker 1: when he came out that fifth round that he's got

72
00:03:19,960 --> 00:03:21,680
Speaker 1: to end here because he knows that if it, if

73
00:03:21,680 --> 00:03:23,480
Speaker 1: you don't knock him out, he was gonna lose, you know.

74
00:03:24,080 --> 00:03:26,640
Speaker 1: And yeah, I mean that's the mindset you can take

75
00:03:26,680 --> 00:03:28,320
Speaker 1: into a lot of different things you're doing life. You know,

76
00:03:28,360 --> 00:03:30,880
Speaker 1: it's never over till it's over. Um. You know you

77
00:03:30,880 --> 00:03:34,880
Speaker 1: gotta finish um. And yeah, just like I said, you

78
00:03:34,880 --> 00:03:36,360
Speaker 1: know it's never over to us over. I mean he

79
00:03:36,400 --> 00:03:38,600
Speaker 1: was he was clearly losing the fight, at least from

80
00:03:38,600 --> 00:03:42,040
Speaker 1: my my judge eyes up in the box, right, I

81
00:03:42,040 --> 00:03:43,880
Speaker 1: think I think I was right. I feel like that's

82
00:03:43,880 --> 00:03:47,680
Speaker 1: the majority the not understanding of it. But yeah, I

83
00:03:47,680 --> 00:03:49,400
Speaker 1: mean he came out in round five and really proved

84
00:03:49,400 --> 00:03:54,000
Speaker 1: something so unexpected and also just the emotion that all

85
00:03:54,000 --> 00:03:56,800
Speaker 1: those fighters have after winning. Man, it's uh it's awesome

86
00:03:56,800 --> 00:03:59,440
Speaker 1: to see because you know, you put as much into

87
00:03:59,480 --> 00:04:02,280
Speaker 1: it as they, and um, you know, I see a

88
00:04:02,320 --> 00:04:05,120
Speaker 1: few parallels. You know, we're playing playing football and um,

89
00:04:05,160 --> 00:04:06,800
Speaker 1: you know. But besides that, like you know, it's not

90
00:04:06,840 --> 00:04:08,760
Speaker 1: a team sport, it's everything is on them, you know,

91
00:04:09,120 --> 00:04:11,280
Speaker 1: And I think it's really cool, man, just every other

92
00:04:11,280 --> 00:04:13,720
Speaker 1: pressure on it and everything. Did it get real quiet

93
00:04:13,920 --> 00:04:16,679
Speaker 1: when it was clear that out of Sagna was out,

94
00:04:16,760 --> 00:04:20,240
Speaker 1: because I think most of the crowd was probably behind him, No,

95
00:04:20,400 --> 00:04:23,159
Speaker 1: for sure, Um, I would say it sounded like about

96
00:04:23,160 --> 00:04:26,159
Speaker 1: eighty nine of us were there to see out of signa,

97
00:04:26,240 --> 00:04:29,840
Speaker 1: you know when and keep the boat. But yeah, man, Pereira,

98
00:04:30,600 --> 00:04:33,920
Speaker 1: I mean he was getting booed. Oh yeah, he handled it, man,

99
00:04:33,960 --> 00:04:35,760
Speaker 1: he handled it and I pushed through at the end.

100
00:04:35,800 --> 00:04:38,000
Speaker 1: So it did get quiet, if I remember correctly, he

101
00:04:38,040 --> 00:04:40,560
Speaker 1: got quiet. I was something mad, honestly, I probably I

102
00:04:40,600 --> 00:04:42,479
Speaker 1: was mad, I'm not gonna live and I was mad.

103
00:04:42,520 --> 00:04:44,320
Speaker 1: I kind of lost it for like the ten secons

104
00:04:44,400 --> 00:04:45,920
Speaker 1: right after the fight and had to get up out

105
00:04:45,920 --> 00:04:48,039
Speaker 1: of there. But it definitely got quiet, Like you know,

106
00:04:48,080 --> 00:04:50,279
Speaker 1: I wasn't the only one feeling that way. Do you

107
00:04:50,279 --> 00:04:53,440
Speaker 1: see any parallels what happened there and what's happening with

108
00:04:53,480 --> 00:04:56,120
Speaker 1: you guys on the road so far this season, Because

109
00:04:56,279 --> 00:04:59,880
Speaker 1: I'd go back to Cleveland and think about how you're

110
00:05:00,080 --> 00:05:03,640
Speaker 1: league quiet that stadium became. When Corey has the long

111
00:05:03,680 --> 00:05:06,360
Speaker 1: touchdown reception, you guys will cover the on side kick

112
00:05:06,400 --> 00:05:11,760
Speaker 1: and then you end it with the touchdown reception from Joe. Yeah, um,

113
00:05:11,800 --> 00:05:13,320
Speaker 1: I mean it kind of. I kind of do see

114
00:05:13,360 --> 00:05:15,360
Speaker 1: some parallels. You know, we're we're on the road team,

115
00:05:15,360 --> 00:05:17,960
Speaker 1: and you gotta embrace those embrace those moments. You know,

116
00:05:18,000 --> 00:05:21,840
Speaker 1: you gotta embrace being the underdog, being the the one

117
00:05:21,880 --> 00:05:23,560
Speaker 1: that everyone sup wants to see fail. Man, you gotta

118
00:05:23,560 --> 00:05:25,599
Speaker 1: embrace those moments and kind of use it to fuel you.

119
00:05:26,279 --> 00:05:28,560
Speaker 1: And um, yeah, you know, for obviously did a good

120
00:05:28,600 --> 00:05:29,919
Speaker 1: job of that. But we've done a great job with

121
00:05:29,960 --> 00:05:31,800
Speaker 1: that throughout this season, you know, winning on the road,

122
00:05:31,839 --> 00:05:34,279
Speaker 1: and hopefully it's something that can carry into the second

123
00:05:34,320 --> 00:05:36,320
Speaker 1: half of the season. You know. But um, when you

124
00:05:36,360 --> 00:05:39,039
Speaker 1: have that that mentality and and um that you know

125
00:05:39,160 --> 00:05:40,600
Speaker 1: we got we have something to prove and we're going

126
00:05:40,640 --> 00:05:42,599
Speaker 1: on the road, and that you know this we could

127
00:05:42,600 --> 00:05:44,680
Speaker 1: turn this into our place. I feel like it carries

128
00:05:44,720 --> 00:05:46,960
Speaker 1: over well and Um, yeah, I feel like we've done

129
00:05:47,000 --> 00:05:48,320
Speaker 1: a good job of that so far. How much you

130
00:05:48,440 --> 00:05:51,880
Speaker 1: like the vibe of New York, of playing here, like

131
00:05:51,960 --> 00:05:55,159
Speaker 1: you just attended a big time event in the city.

132
00:05:55,279 --> 00:06:00,240
Speaker 1: But MetLife Stadium is rocking now because everybody's on award.

133
00:06:00,320 --> 00:06:03,120
Speaker 1: With the Jets being six and three, I mean, the

134
00:06:03,120 --> 00:06:04,920
Speaker 1: stadium is a whole lot different than the first three

135
00:06:04,960 --> 00:06:07,159
Speaker 1: weeks you know, we were in there. The last couple

136
00:06:07,160 --> 00:06:11,160
Speaker 1: of weeks have been electric in there, and um man,

137
00:06:11,200 --> 00:06:13,480
Speaker 1: it's really special playing up here and especially winning, you know.

138
00:06:14,600 --> 00:06:17,400
Speaker 1: Um obviously I haven't been anywhere else. I can't speak on,

139
00:06:17,560 --> 00:06:20,159
Speaker 1: you know, anywhere else as far as NFL, but I

140
00:06:20,160 --> 00:06:22,479
Speaker 1: can't imagine it being better than this, you know. And

141
00:06:22,480 --> 00:06:24,120
Speaker 1: and as far as off the field, man, you got

142
00:06:24,160 --> 00:06:26,599
Speaker 1: every opportunity at your feet, you know. I feel like

143
00:06:26,640 --> 00:06:29,240
Speaker 1: you can never you can never run out of things

144
00:06:29,240 --> 00:06:31,239
Speaker 1: to do as far as in this, you know, twenty

145
00:06:31,400 --> 00:06:34,719
Speaker 1: five mile radius. It's really crazy and I just blessed

146
00:06:34,720 --> 00:06:36,280
Speaker 1: to be here. And every day, you know, I wake

147
00:06:36,360 --> 00:06:38,200
Speaker 1: up in New York, I'm like, what I'm gonna do today? Man?

148
00:06:38,320 --> 00:06:40,280
Speaker 1: I really got all the options I practice, but what

149
00:06:40,320 --> 00:06:42,680
Speaker 1: I'm gonna do? And I love that about. It's really

150
00:06:42,720 --> 00:06:46,000
Speaker 1: special out here. You're the only rookie receiver who had

151
00:06:46,120 --> 00:06:49,440
Speaker 1: ninety yards receiving in his first nine games in the

152
00:06:49,520 --> 00:06:53,200
Speaker 1: National Football League. You've high expectations for yourself, always have.

153
00:06:53,880 --> 00:06:56,920
Speaker 1: What do you think about your start here? I feel like,

154
00:06:56,960 --> 00:06:59,840
Speaker 1: you know, it's had its ups and downs, um, you

155
00:07:00,040 --> 00:07:02,479
Speaker 1: and I feel like I'm I'm I'm starting to get

156
00:07:02,480 --> 00:07:05,040
Speaker 1: it a little bit. I'm starting to, um feel like,

157
00:07:05,160 --> 00:07:07,800
Speaker 1: you know, feel like myself again, at least personally. I know,

158
00:07:07,839 --> 00:07:11,600
Speaker 1: I'm feeling like myself. And and uh yeah, you know,

159
00:07:11,640 --> 00:07:14,320
Speaker 1: it's been everything I expected and then something. But but

160
00:07:14,840 --> 00:07:16,520
Speaker 1: you know, for me to put a lot of pressure

161
00:07:16,520 --> 00:07:18,200
Speaker 1: on myself and expect me not to mess up and

162
00:07:18,320 --> 00:07:20,240
Speaker 1: make some make some mistakes here and there, and this

163
00:07:20,280 --> 00:07:22,440
Speaker 1: is my first time experience, and you know, something like this,

164
00:07:23,040 --> 00:07:25,120
Speaker 1: UM was unrealistic for me. So you know, I'm glad

165
00:07:25,160 --> 00:07:28,200
Speaker 1: I um had some had some bumpy starts and bumpy

166
00:07:28,640 --> 00:07:30,600
Speaker 1: mumpy games, you know, to get those hopefully out of

167
00:07:30,600 --> 00:07:33,360
Speaker 1: the system and never never returned. But overall, man, I

168
00:07:33,360 --> 00:07:35,000
Speaker 1: feel good. I feel like I'm learning every week. I

169
00:07:35,000 --> 00:07:37,400
Speaker 1: feel like I'm getting better every week, and you know

170
00:07:37,440 --> 00:07:39,880
Speaker 1: that's that's all I can really ask for how would

171
00:07:39,920 --> 00:07:42,720
Speaker 1: you describe those bumps? Like from my fire people would

172
00:07:42,720 --> 00:07:45,960
Speaker 1: be like, geez, take care of business out. Yeah, I

173
00:07:45,960 --> 00:07:49,200
Speaker 1: mean personally, I I know my ability and I and

174
00:07:49,240 --> 00:07:51,320
Speaker 1: I put some balls on the ground some drops early.

175
00:07:51,880 --> 00:07:54,520
Speaker 1: Um and I started it. I started in camp, so

176
00:07:55,560 --> 00:07:57,800
Speaker 1: you know, and I started and O t A is

177
00:07:57,840 --> 00:07:59,880
Speaker 1: actually and and it carried into the start of the

178
00:08:00,000 --> 00:08:04,040
Speaker 1: season and uh, just getting into my routes fast blocking wise.

179
00:08:04,120 --> 00:08:05,640
Speaker 1: You know, there's a lot of things that we go

180
00:08:05,720 --> 00:08:08,000
Speaker 1: watch the film that when you when you really go

181
00:08:08,080 --> 00:08:09,920
Speaker 1: and watching dig deep and look for something to get

182
00:08:09,960 --> 00:08:11,920
Speaker 1: better at your fine. You know, I'm not watching it

183
00:08:12,000 --> 00:08:15,480
Speaker 1: just to see you know why this Uh you know,

184
00:08:15,480 --> 00:08:17,320
Speaker 1: I'm not watching my film to see how I scored

185
00:08:17,360 --> 00:08:20,120
Speaker 1: that touchdown. I'm watching it too correct how I could

186
00:08:20,120 --> 00:08:23,360
Speaker 1: have scored faster, made and made it easier on myself

187
00:08:23,360 --> 00:08:25,640
Speaker 1: to make a catch. And uh, that's that's gotta be

188
00:08:25,680 --> 00:08:27,360
Speaker 1: the mentality I take into the film room taking to

189
00:08:27,400 --> 00:08:29,560
Speaker 1: the practice field. You know, I gotta find some to

190
00:08:29,680 --> 00:08:32,120
Speaker 1: improve on every day just so I can keep building. Man,

191
00:08:32,160 --> 00:08:34,760
Speaker 1: because the moment I don't, you know, you start, you're

192
00:08:34,800 --> 00:08:37,280
Speaker 1: gonna fall off. And I don't want that to be

193
00:08:37,320 --> 00:08:40,960
Speaker 1: the case, you know, but yeah, those bumps, they haven't

194
00:08:41,000 --> 00:08:43,760
Speaker 1: been two bumpies so far. But overall, I just know

195
00:08:43,880 --> 00:08:45,480
Speaker 1: myself and know that I lest some plays on the

196
00:08:45,480 --> 00:08:47,600
Speaker 1: field and I would want them back. How big were

197
00:08:47,640 --> 00:08:51,000
Speaker 1: the last two weeks for you and the young quarterback

198
00:08:51,080 --> 00:08:54,640
Speaker 1: Zach Wilson, because there was a spot there where hey,

199
00:08:54,679 --> 00:08:57,520
Speaker 1: a lot of balls weren't coming your way. But we

200
00:08:57,559 --> 00:09:01,000
Speaker 1: saw it against the Patriots, we saw it against the Bill. Like,

201
00:09:01,080 --> 00:09:03,920
Speaker 1: can you guys carry that momentum now heading into this

202
00:09:04,320 --> 00:09:07,319
Speaker 1: uh post by stretch? Yeah, it's just building. Um, it's

203
00:09:07,320 --> 00:09:10,199
Speaker 1: been building since since he got back, since camp, honestly,

204
00:09:10,640 --> 00:09:12,280
Speaker 1: and uh, you know we had the hiccup in between

205
00:09:12,280 --> 00:09:15,400
Speaker 1: where he got hurt and uh ever since he got backman,

206
00:09:15,400 --> 00:09:17,080
Speaker 1: we've just been continuing to building. It kind of goes

207
00:09:17,080 --> 00:09:19,000
Speaker 1: back to what I'm saying, get better every day and

208
00:09:19,040 --> 00:09:21,040
Speaker 1: that that's not just in the film room, not just

209
00:09:21,080 --> 00:09:23,280
Speaker 1: on the predit field with Zach, with our relationship, you

210
00:09:23,320 --> 00:09:25,840
Speaker 1: know all those things. And uh, Zack has a similar

211
00:09:25,960 --> 00:09:27,800
Speaker 1: same mindset about that. You know, we always trying to

212
00:09:27,800 --> 00:09:29,640
Speaker 1: improve something. He comes in the in the room and

213
00:09:29,679 --> 00:09:31,600
Speaker 1: talks about what we uh you know, what we can

214
00:09:31,640 --> 00:09:34,120
Speaker 1: do this week to exploit something or what we need

215
00:09:34,160 --> 00:09:36,280
Speaker 1: to work on what he saw in film, and and

216
00:09:36,360 --> 00:09:38,200
Speaker 1: for me personally being a young dude and him being

217
00:09:38,200 --> 00:09:39,680
Speaker 1: a young dude, man, that's great for me. I need

218
00:09:39,720 --> 00:09:42,480
Speaker 1: to hear that. I need to to hear my quarterbacks

219
00:09:42,520 --> 00:09:43,679
Speaker 1: thinking because at the end of the day, I want

220
00:09:43,679 --> 00:09:45,439
Speaker 1: to be what he wants me to do. I want

221
00:09:45,440 --> 00:09:46,720
Speaker 1: to be whatever he wants me to be. You know.

222
00:09:46,720 --> 00:09:48,240
Speaker 1: I want to get the ball as much as possible.

223
00:09:48,240 --> 00:09:50,840
Speaker 1: I want to make the play. I want to um

224
00:09:51,040 --> 00:09:52,800
Speaker 1: make every play that that he throes to me. And

225
00:09:52,840 --> 00:09:54,960
Speaker 1: so it's important that we have those conversations, that we

226
00:09:55,000 --> 00:09:57,920
Speaker 1: have those that we have those talks and corrections so

227
00:09:57,960 --> 00:09:59,520
Speaker 1: that we can, you know, be on the same page

228
00:09:59,559 --> 00:10:01,760
Speaker 1: and and be be hitting on all cylinders when it

229
00:10:01,800 --> 00:10:03,920
Speaker 1: comes out of Sunday. Do you have an opportunity to

230
00:10:03,920 --> 00:10:07,559
Speaker 1: watch any ball on Sunday? I wanted to ask you

231
00:10:07,600 --> 00:10:10,599
Speaker 1: about the Vikings game with the Buffalo Bills. It's a

232
00:10:10,600 --> 00:10:12,280
Speaker 1: great game, man, I've never seen nothing like it, for real.

233
00:10:12,400 --> 00:10:15,840
Speaker 1: It's crazy. So obviously that was a good finish for

234
00:10:15,880 --> 00:10:18,200
Speaker 1: you guys, because look at you guys sitting there are

235
00:10:18,240 --> 00:10:20,600
Speaker 1: six and three a half game behind the Miami Dolphins.

236
00:10:20,920 --> 00:10:23,960
Speaker 1: You're tied technically with the Buffalo Bills, but you have

237
00:10:24,000 --> 00:10:27,280
Speaker 1: a better record than them and also beat them inside

238
00:10:27,320 --> 00:10:29,600
Speaker 1: the division. But I wanted to ask you about two

239
00:10:29,600 --> 00:10:33,920
Speaker 1: performers in that game. Yeah, justin Jefferson. What do you

240
00:10:33,960 --> 00:10:36,600
Speaker 1: like most about his game? And what did you see

241
00:10:36,640 --> 00:10:39,240
Speaker 1: on Sunday that you really appreciate it? Just the way

242
00:10:39,280 --> 00:10:40,760
Speaker 1: he gets in and out of his brakes, Man, it's

243
00:10:40,800 --> 00:10:45,360
Speaker 1: really uh special in his ability to to deceive the dvs. Man,

244
00:10:45,400 --> 00:10:49,079
Speaker 1: he's got a really special rocker step, you know that

245
00:10:49,120 --> 00:10:51,000
Speaker 1: you don't see in a lot of receivers where they can.

246
00:10:51,679 --> 00:10:53,640
Speaker 1: To me, it looked like he played hoops growing up,

247
00:10:54,040 --> 00:10:56,160
Speaker 1: like he uh, you know, it's got a little crossover

248
00:10:56,280 --> 00:10:58,920
Speaker 1: and then not like he's got all that and you

249
00:10:58,920 --> 00:11:01,040
Speaker 1: can tell he translates to the up I feel real well.

250
00:11:01,080 --> 00:11:04,439
Speaker 1: And then um, but you know him and his quarterback

251
00:11:04,480 --> 00:11:06,120
Speaker 1: on the same page all the time, and it's, uh,

252
00:11:06,120 --> 00:11:07,480
Speaker 1: it's really fun to watch. Me. I had a whole

253
00:11:07,520 --> 00:11:09,559
Speaker 1: lot of fun watching that game. And uh, I didn't

254
00:11:09,559 --> 00:11:11,200
Speaker 1: know it was at noon, right, It wasn't nothing. One

255
00:11:11,240 --> 00:11:13,520
Speaker 1: of the Neon games was at four. It was because

256
00:11:14,200 --> 00:11:16,480
Speaker 1: the excuse me, Yeah, I didn't know that game was on,

257
00:11:16,559 --> 00:11:18,080
Speaker 1: so turn on TV and that game is. I'm like,

258
00:11:18,800 --> 00:11:20,640
Speaker 1: it's real good, you know, seven and one and six

259
00:11:20,640 --> 00:11:23,000
Speaker 1: and two and uh yeah, I mean the Bills gave

260
00:11:23,040 --> 00:11:24,360
Speaker 1: it to him. I think I'm not gonna lie, but

261
00:11:24,480 --> 00:11:28,640
Speaker 1: I mean overall, justin Jefferson, that was top five performers

262
00:11:28,679 --> 00:11:30,800
Speaker 1: I watched, you know, really yeah, I would say top

263
00:11:30,840 --> 00:11:34,240
Speaker 1: five man. I mean when did Yeah, it's when you

264
00:11:34,280 --> 00:11:37,240
Speaker 1: make the catches. Um, that's special. I mean the dB

265
00:11:37,400 --> 00:11:42,200
Speaker 1: caught it for him and uh he went and got it. Man.

266
00:11:42,240 --> 00:11:43,880
Speaker 1: He took it from him in his fourth down. I

267
00:11:43,920 --> 00:11:47,800
Speaker 1: think it was fourth and long and minute left. I mean,

268
00:11:47,840 --> 00:11:50,160
Speaker 1: it's it's special. That's when you gotta do that, when

269
00:11:50,160 --> 00:11:51,760
Speaker 1: you gotta make those plays. And he did it. Man.

270
00:11:51,800 --> 00:11:53,760
Speaker 1: That's that's uh, you know, that's what we grew up

271
00:11:53,800 --> 00:11:55,400
Speaker 1: talking about. Some of my pops grow up telling me,

272
00:11:55,440 --> 00:11:57,320
Speaker 1: you know this, big players make big plays. You know.

273
00:11:57,400 --> 00:12:00,600
Speaker 1: That's that's the definition of that right there. What about Diggs.

274
00:12:01,040 --> 00:12:04,960
Speaker 1: It's funny. It's funny because I was watching uh interview

275
00:12:05,000 --> 00:12:07,800
Speaker 1: you had with Caroline here recently, and one of the

276
00:12:07,880 --> 00:12:11,120
Speaker 1: shots the folks in the back used was you doing

277
00:12:11,160 --> 00:12:14,240
Speaker 1: a one handed catch at practice. What did you think

278
00:12:14,280 --> 00:12:17,079
Speaker 1: about his one handed His one hand was sweet. I

279
00:12:17,200 --> 00:12:21,280
Speaker 1: honestly thought that was a better catch, But the moment

280
00:12:21,360 --> 00:12:25,040
Speaker 1: of it is what was sways, the tips, the tips,

281
00:12:25,080 --> 00:12:27,800
Speaker 1: the scale. But yeah, dis played well as well. Man.

282
00:12:27,800 --> 00:12:29,720
Speaker 1: He's really fun to watch and got to go against

283
00:12:29,720 --> 00:12:31,200
Speaker 1: his former team. You know, I feel like he had

284
00:12:31,200 --> 00:12:34,760
Speaker 1: no chance, no choice but to with the ball out. Honestly, Um,

285
00:12:34,800 --> 00:12:38,160
Speaker 1: you know, the vikings came out fine. Justin Justin Jefferson

286
00:12:38,200 --> 00:12:42,840
Speaker 1: had like seventy yards in the first first drive, you know, so, um,

287
00:12:42,920 --> 00:12:45,280
Speaker 1: Digs had the ball and he did that. Man, he

288
00:12:45,360 --> 00:12:47,840
Speaker 1: really bawled and him and him and Josh Allen also,

289
00:12:47,880 --> 00:12:49,760
Speaker 1: you know, they got a great connection, always on the

290
00:12:49,800 --> 00:12:52,160
Speaker 1: same page, and even when they're not, you know, Digs

291
00:12:52,160 --> 00:12:54,000
Speaker 1: are gonna make a play for him or vice versa.

292
00:12:54,040 --> 00:12:55,800
Speaker 1: And it's Uh, that was one of the better games

293
00:12:55,800 --> 00:13:00,760
Speaker 1: I've watched in a long time. Man. What makes so

294
00:13:00,840 --> 00:13:06,120
Speaker 1: impressive Because he doesn't run routes that you typically see

295
00:13:06,200 --> 00:13:09,680
Speaker 1: a receiver run. I would say he's he's just very unique.

296
00:13:09,679 --> 00:13:12,920
Speaker 1: The way he pressed it, Um, I think his false

297
00:13:12,920 --> 00:13:15,920
Speaker 1: acceleration is really good. He's got a great ability to

298
00:13:15,960 --> 00:13:19,040
Speaker 1: look like he's he's um pushing vertical really hard when

299
00:13:19,080 --> 00:13:22,760
Speaker 1: really he's perfectly under control, and the dB has a

300
00:13:22,760 --> 00:13:24,880
Speaker 1: hard time, you know, being able to tell if he's

301
00:13:24,920 --> 00:13:28,480
Speaker 1: running full speed or if he's jogging, and you know it,

302
00:13:28,480 --> 00:13:30,640
Speaker 1: it's a false acceleration and it truly is a skill.

303
00:13:30,760 --> 00:13:33,080
Speaker 1: You know, you gotta build that. You know, you don't

304
00:13:33,080 --> 00:13:34,520
Speaker 1: want to always look like you're running to go and

305
00:13:34,559 --> 00:13:36,719
Speaker 1: you're running to go, you know. So I feel like

306
00:13:36,760 --> 00:13:39,120
Speaker 1: he does a good job of setting things up. And

307
00:13:39,240 --> 00:13:41,079
Speaker 1: also you can tell he's a great in the film room.

308
00:13:41,240 --> 00:13:43,679
Speaker 1: You know, Um, I think first play last week, they

309
00:13:43,679 --> 00:13:47,160
Speaker 1: come out and he slips inside on the on the

310
00:13:47,160 --> 00:13:49,640
Speaker 1: go ball against us and catches it down the sideline

311
00:13:49,679 --> 00:13:51,960
Speaker 1: for about thirty forty And that's film where you know

312
00:13:52,000 --> 00:13:54,320
Speaker 1: he ain't no sauce was gonna play it like that.

313
00:13:54,360 --> 00:13:56,920
Speaker 1: But you watch film and you could tell that's what

314
00:13:56,960 --> 00:13:58,760
Speaker 1: I see in him, and UH got a lot of

315
00:13:58,880 --> 00:14:00,959
Speaker 1: respect for that, And you know, you gotta chip on

316
00:14:01,000 --> 00:14:02,640
Speaker 1: the show. You always go out there with something to prove,

317
00:14:02,840 --> 00:14:05,920
Speaker 1: you know, do you take parts of each of their

318
00:14:05,960 --> 00:14:10,840
Speaker 1: games because you can see it the way you have

319
00:14:12,000 --> 00:14:14,920
Speaker 1: you have a unique style. But also at the same time,

320
00:14:15,280 --> 00:14:18,720
Speaker 1: your buddy your teammate Tyler Conchland, who played with Justin

321
00:14:19,040 --> 00:14:22,520
Speaker 1: in Minnesota. He was the first guy here said, you

322
00:14:22,520 --> 00:14:24,880
Speaker 1: know who I see Garrett, I see a little bit

323
00:14:24,920 --> 00:14:28,040
Speaker 1: of Justin Jefferson. Yeah. No, I try and take something

324
00:14:28,080 --> 00:14:30,840
Speaker 1: from from both of their games, for sure. Um, you know,

325
00:14:30,880 --> 00:14:32,680
Speaker 1: i'd be I'd be dumb not to They're both such

326
00:14:32,760 --> 00:14:36,200
Speaker 1: great players and and do things so well that, um,

327
00:14:36,240 --> 00:14:38,920
Speaker 1: you know, being a young dude coming into the league

328
00:14:38,920 --> 00:14:40,600
Speaker 1: and that didn't really know what exactly what I was

329
00:14:40,640 --> 00:14:42,840
Speaker 1: getting into, you know, that's all I was watching is

330
00:14:42,960 --> 00:14:46,920
Speaker 1: J Jedded Davante you had of um Stefon Diggs. You know,

331
00:14:47,160 --> 00:14:49,240
Speaker 1: I love. I love being a student of the game

332
00:14:49,280 --> 00:14:51,760
Speaker 1: and studying the other receivers and and learning how they

333
00:14:51,760 --> 00:14:54,520
Speaker 1: attack dbs and trying to add something to my game.

334
00:14:54,560 --> 00:14:57,400
Speaker 1: You know. But but um, you know, they all move different,

335
00:14:57,440 --> 00:14:59,600
Speaker 1: We all move different, and you know there's certain ways

336
00:14:59,640 --> 00:15:02,080
Speaker 1: you can add certain things that it only doesn't Jets

337
00:15:02,200 --> 00:15:03,560
Speaker 1: you can do that, you know, because it's way his

338
00:15:03,640 --> 00:15:06,760
Speaker 1: body moves, you know. But like, um, what I can add,

339
00:15:06,800 --> 00:15:10,240
Speaker 1: I'll try and add for sure, you know. And um, yeah,

340
00:15:10,480 --> 00:15:12,600
Speaker 1: did you talk Togs after the game. I ain't talked

341
00:15:12,600 --> 00:15:14,440
Speaker 1: to him I wanted to. Man, I feel like I

342
00:15:15,240 --> 00:15:17,480
Speaker 1: saw him and I wonder I had got approached by

343
00:15:17,520 --> 00:15:20,080
Speaker 1: someone to do like a little talk thing, and by

344
00:15:20,080 --> 00:15:22,400
Speaker 1: the time I turn around, he was gone. Man. You know,

345
00:15:22,880 --> 00:15:25,400
Speaker 1: I mean, I don't blame him, you know that. I

346
00:15:25,440 --> 00:15:27,640
Speaker 1: know I am after the loss. You know, it's say,

347
00:15:27,680 --> 00:15:29,400
Speaker 1: who say, what's up to? Whoever come up to me?

348
00:15:29,480 --> 00:15:32,600
Speaker 1: But besides that is I'm out of there, and uh,

349
00:15:32,720 --> 00:15:34,320
Speaker 1: hopefully next game I'll be able to chop it up

350
00:15:34,320 --> 00:15:36,560
Speaker 1: with him because you know, obviously one of my favorite receivers.

351

00:16:38,760 --> 00:16:41,000

369
00:16:41,040 --> 00:16:46,000
Speaker 1: first time you met him? I do, um. And the

370
00:16:46,040 --> 00:16:48,960
Speaker 1: thing is with this league man, that it doesn't really matter.

371
00:16:49,200 --> 00:16:50,720
Speaker 1: You know, it doesn't really matter. You gotta go out

373
00:16:52,520 --> 00:16:56,680
Speaker 1: and do it. Um. You could look at the watch

374
00:16:56,760 --> 00:16:59,480
Speaker 1: the film and and think get an idea of how

375
00:16:59,560 --> 00:17:02,280
Speaker 1: this game go or how you're gonna play, But but

376
00:17:02,360 --> 00:17:03,880
Speaker 1: you gotta go out there and do it on Sunday.

377
00:17:03,880 --> 00:17:05,399
Speaker 1: And we left a lot of players on the field.

378
00:17:05,600 --> 00:17:07,760
Speaker 1: We didn't played our best and and we got beat

379
00:17:07,800 --> 00:17:10,280
Speaker 1: because of it. And um, yeah, that's the reality of it.

380
00:17:10,280 --> 00:17:11,840
Speaker 1: With this lead man, You're not just gonna You're not

381
00:17:11,880 --> 00:17:15,240
Speaker 1: just gonna really, um stumble upon a win. You know,

382
00:17:15,320 --> 00:17:17,320
Speaker 1: no matter what the circumstances are you gotta go go

383
00:17:17,400 --> 00:17:20,920
Speaker 1: win the game, and uh yeah, you had a big

384
00:17:20,960 --> 00:17:24,879
Speaker 1: game against them though, and Belichick, Yeah, you go over

385
00:17:24,920 --> 00:17:30,119
Speaker 1: a hundred yards um and I believe you had around

386
00:17:30,119 --> 00:17:32,879
Speaker 1: eight catches. You probably targeted nine times. And that's one

387
00:17:32,920 --> 00:17:34,800
Speaker 1: of the most impressive stats when you look at your

388
00:17:34,800 --> 00:17:37,080
Speaker 1: stat line a lot of times, is that not only

389
00:17:37,119 --> 00:17:39,879
Speaker 1: you're coming out with the receptions, but your percentage is

390
00:17:39,920 --> 00:17:42,640
Speaker 1: so high in terms of the targets that you're coming

391
00:17:42,640 --> 00:17:45,520
Speaker 1: down with the football. But Belichick's known over the years

392
00:17:45,560 --> 00:17:49,919
Speaker 1: to take away what an offense does, well, what do

393
00:17:49,960 --> 00:17:52,040
Speaker 1: you think he's gonna have in store for seventeen? The

394
00:17:52,119 --> 00:17:55,719
Speaker 1: second time, they got me a few times on Judean,

395
00:17:55,880 --> 00:17:58,879
Speaker 1: you know, getting into the flat and uh checking the

396
00:17:58,960 --> 00:18:02,760
Speaker 1: slot receiver. And I feel like I'll see a lot

397
00:18:02,800 --> 00:18:05,520
Speaker 1: more of that. They watched film the one time they

398
00:18:05,640 --> 00:18:07,480
Speaker 1: are at least one of the two times that he

399
00:18:07,480 --> 00:18:09,080
Speaker 1: did he got me and I was on the floor,

400
00:18:09,160 --> 00:18:11,480
Speaker 1: didn't get into my route. So I feel like they'll

401
00:18:11,520 --> 00:18:13,920
Speaker 1: probably do that. But you know, I'll have a plan.

402
00:18:14,080 --> 00:18:15,760
Speaker 1: I'll have a different plan than going into this game.

403
00:18:15,800 --> 00:18:17,920
Speaker 1: You know, we just played him two weeks ago and

404
00:18:17,920 --> 00:18:20,560
Speaker 1: and I just saw this DV group, man, and I

405
00:18:20,560 --> 00:18:22,160
Speaker 1: feel like I have a good plan of how how

406
00:18:22,160 --> 00:18:23,720
Speaker 1: to go about it. Man. So a lot of a

407
00:18:23,720 --> 00:18:27,119
Speaker 1: lot of respect of Belichick, but um, you know we

408
00:18:27,200 --> 00:18:29,280
Speaker 1: got something over here, and you know, I'm confident of

409
00:18:29,320 --> 00:18:32,560
Speaker 1: my booty. Whatever you got for me, you know we're

410
00:18:32,560 --> 00:18:35,159
Speaker 1: gonna be all right. Yeah, you're a football player. You

411
00:18:35,200 --> 00:18:39,680
Speaker 1: get it done from the outside in the inside. Do

412
00:18:39,760 --> 00:18:42,480
Speaker 1: you have preferences or it just depends on the game,

413
00:18:42,600 --> 00:18:44,159
Speaker 1: you know, as far as where you're lining it up,

414
00:18:44,320 --> 00:18:47,639
Speaker 1: it definitely depends on the game. But like slot is

415
00:18:47,680 --> 00:18:51,080
Speaker 1: easier slots, the easy, easier receiver position. Just as far

416
00:18:51,119 --> 00:18:52,800
Speaker 1: as you can play with a lot of more backyard

417
00:18:52,840 --> 00:18:54,680
Speaker 1: football rules, you can play with a lot of field.

418
00:18:55,640 --> 00:18:58,480
Speaker 1: Um you got don't have a sideline, you know, shortening

419
00:18:58,480 --> 00:19:01,040
Speaker 1: your your releases or not your really yeah, your releases

420
00:19:01,480 --> 00:19:03,280
Speaker 1: next to angles. You know, you when you're on the

421
00:19:03,320 --> 00:19:05,440
Speaker 1: sideline in the boundary especially, you know you can't really

422
00:19:05,440 --> 00:19:08,880
Speaker 1: get that wide on your release because the sidelines right there. Um,

423
00:19:09,240 --> 00:19:10,960
Speaker 1: you're in slot, you got the whole field, you know.

424
00:19:10,960 --> 00:19:13,000
Speaker 1: And the Nickel knows that too, He's worried about the

425
00:19:13,000 --> 00:19:16,719
Speaker 1: whole field. So I feel that whenever I'm in a slot, man.

426
00:19:16,760 --> 00:19:18,600
Speaker 1: I feel like, you know, you could really use uh

427
00:19:19,240 --> 00:19:21,399
Speaker 1: a lot of those things against him, and that's one

428
00:19:21,400 --> 00:19:23,200
Speaker 1: of the harder positions to play on defense as well,

429
00:19:23,280 --> 00:19:25,679
Speaker 1: you know that nickel positions, so there's so much traffic.

430
00:19:25,720 --> 00:19:27,520
Speaker 1: There's so much traffic, so much to deal with. But

431
00:19:27,600 --> 00:19:29,479
Speaker 1: on offense, you know, I'd like to use all that

432
00:19:29,520 --> 00:19:31,200
Speaker 1: with me, you know, like I could, I could run

433
00:19:31,280 --> 00:19:33,600
Speaker 1: him into that linebacker, you know, if he's running with me.

434
00:19:33,600 --> 00:19:35,960
Speaker 1: That are those type of things and slot slot you

435
00:19:36,000 --> 00:19:37,200
Speaker 1: can play with a lot of field. I like the

436
00:19:37,200 --> 00:19:38,680
Speaker 1: outside though, like you said, I want to be able

437
00:19:38,720 --> 00:19:42,800
Speaker 1: to play play both and do it well. I want

438
00:19:42,800 --> 00:19:44,280
Speaker 1: to be able to play both. Well. Yeah, it was

439
00:19:44,320 --> 00:19:46,480
Speaker 1: like a fifty fifty split. I think if you look

440
00:19:46,520 --> 00:19:49,760
Speaker 1: at the first nine games, how much does it change

441
00:19:49,760 --> 00:19:52,800
Speaker 1: the dynamic whenever you guys get Corey back, because he

442
00:19:52,880 --> 00:19:55,760
Speaker 1: was such a big part of this offense, and can

443
00:19:55,800 --> 00:19:58,679
Speaker 1: you speak to the transition. I guess that you guys

444
00:19:58,760 --> 00:20:01,800
Speaker 1: constantly have to under goal just because of injuries, right

445
00:20:01,840 --> 00:20:05,879
Speaker 1: because if Corey comes back, and obviously this team continues

446
00:20:06,320 --> 00:20:08,400
Speaker 1: to try to find ways to get Elijah the ball

447
00:20:08,400 --> 00:20:12,600
Speaker 1: as well. Yeah, man, CD, Having CD back will be huge,

448
00:20:12,640 --> 00:20:14,800
Speaker 1: because first off, you know, that's the big dog in

449
00:20:14,800 --> 00:20:17,120
Speaker 1: the room, that's that's an event man. And we all

450
00:20:17,119 --> 00:20:18,800
Speaker 1: looked at him, and you know, he didn't want to

451
00:20:18,800 --> 00:20:20,360
Speaker 1: break us out of practice. He don't want that break

452
00:20:20,400 --> 00:20:21,840
Speaker 1: us out before the game. You know, get us, get

453
00:20:21,880 --> 00:20:25,080
Speaker 1: us in the right headspace. And uh, you know, just personally,

454
00:20:25,119 --> 00:20:27,239
Speaker 1: I know, I love him so like having him back,

455
00:20:27,280 --> 00:20:29,840
Speaker 1: I'm gonna just feel better taking the field with with CD. Man.

456
00:20:29,960 --> 00:20:32,600
Speaker 1: You know, it's um something that he brings to the

457
00:20:32,600 --> 00:20:35,719
Speaker 1: field that that not everyone does. It's not it's not

458
00:20:35,760 --> 00:20:37,879

00:22:13,840 --> 00:22:17,480
Speaker 1: we all just come in each day and and do

492
00:22:17,680 --> 00:22:19,639
Speaker 1: us asked of us. And you know, whether it's a

493
00:22:19,640 --> 00:22:23,159
Speaker 1: lot or a little, um, it's not ill to us.

Speaker 1: You know, we just love each other really, all it

495
00:22:25,640 --> 00:22:28,040
Speaker 1: is receiving room. We just love each other, man, and

496
00:22:28,040 --> 00:22:29,560
Speaker 1: it's special for it to be that way. I'm sure

497
00:22:29,560 --> 00:22:32,440
Speaker 1: it's not that way everywhere. While are you sitting here

498
00:22:32,520 --> 00:22:34,679
Speaker 1: right now? Because he might be able to be in

499
00:22:34,720 --> 00:22:38,800
Speaker 1: an NBA room? You know, he had multiple Division one

500
00:22:38,840 --> 00:22:42,320
Speaker 1: scholarship offers. You were tearing it up on the hardwood

501
00:22:42,640 --> 00:22:46,600
Speaker 1: back in high school. Yeah, you were good. Boy. Was

502
00:22:46,640 --> 00:22:48,800
Speaker 1: that a hard decision for you to go football? It

503
00:22:48,880 --> 00:22:53,080
Speaker 1: wasn't because I was five eleven, six ft type so

504
00:22:53,760 --> 00:22:57,760
Speaker 1: um my pops played. He's six five and just looking

505
00:22:57,800 --> 00:22:59,960
Speaker 1: at it, six ft point guard. If I was six five,

506
00:23:00,040 --> 00:23:02,000
Speaker 1: if I'll still probably be a point guard, you know.

507
00:23:02,400 --> 00:23:05,439
Speaker 1: So like that's well, that's how the league's turning as

508
00:23:05,480 --> 00:23:09,239
Speaker 1: far as the NBA. And it was a business decision. Man.

509
00:23:09,240 --> 00:23:12,520
Speaker 1: I love basketball is my first love. I love football too,

510
00:23:13,000 --> 00:23:16,359
Speaker 1: and yeah it's a business sis And I love playing

511
00:23:16,480 --> 00:23:20,080
Speaker 1: and you know I was six ft. You got like

512
00:23:20,119 --> 00:23:22,520
Speaker 1: Ben Simmons, gonna gonna match up with me on Yeah,

513
00:23:22,520 --> 00:23:24,000
Speaker 1: but you can get to the rim, I can get

514
00:23:24,000 --> 00:23:26,480
Speaker 1: to the room expressive. There's just gonna be a whole

515
00:23:26,520 --> 00:23:30,040
Speaker 1: lot harder to get the ball off. I started to

516
00:23:30,040 --> 00:23:32,240
Speaker 1: realize that when the au and I really I was

517
00:23:32,240 --> 00:23:33,960
Speaker 1: really good, I'm not. I was really good at basketball.

518
00:23:33,960 --> 00:23:35,400
Speaker 1: I was able to finish. I was a great finisher,

519
00:23:35,760 --> 00:23:39,959
Speaker 1: um that finishing around people. But man, it's just they

520
00:23:40,080 --> 00:23:43,080
Speaker 1: seven ft seven to all of a sudden, these dudes

521
00:23:43,119 --> 00:23:50,160
Speaker 1: seven six. Now it's just leagues turning and and yeah,

522
00:23:50,240 --> 00:23:51,600
Speaker 1: it was a business saison. That's the best way I

523
00:23:51,600 --> 00:23:53,600
Speaker 1: could put it, you know, going to college to play basketball,

524
00:23:53,640 --> 00:23:55,440
Speaker 1: I had to play football. It was a business decision.

525
00:23:55,440 --> 00:23:58,600
Speaker 1: I wanted to to give myself the best opportunity to

526
00:23:58,760 --> 00:24:01,600
Speaker 1: make this a long term, long term success for me.

527
00:24:01,920 --> 00:24:05,160
Speaker 1: Do you watch some of your dad's old highlights from Dad,

528
00:24:06,080 --> 00:24:07,720
Speaker 1: I've seen I've seen a few clips just back in

529
00:24:07,760 --> 00:24:11,240
Speaker 1: the eighties, early eighties. I've seen a few clips. Um,

530
00:24:11,280 --> 00:24:13,720
Speaker 1: I never pulled up a whole game and nothing like that.

531
00:24:14,440 --> 00:24:16,719
Speaker 1: I should, but yeah, I've seen a clip when they

532
00:24:16,760 --> 00:24:20,040
Speaker 1: beat Duke with coach k I think they'd beat Notre

533
00:24:20,119 --> 00:24:22,399
Speaker 1: Dame Bobby Knight. He was like seventh all time and

534
00:24:22,480 --> 00:24:26,760
Speaker 1: scoring David's all time at Davison. Yeah he is. Um.

535
00:24:26,880 --> 00:24:29,240
Speaker 1: Do you play with him like yeah, oh yeah. We

536
00:24:29,240 --> 00:24:31,040
Speaker 1: we all played going up. That's how we got good.

537
00:24:31,080 --> 00:24:33,160
Speaker 1: It's trying to beat our pops. And he played until

538
00:24:33,160 --> 00:24:37,200
Speaker 1: he was about he did so he played different leagues,

539
00:24:37,280 --> 00:24:39,520
Speaker 1: different rec leagues. What kind of lessons did he give you?

540
00:24:39,800 --> 00:24:43,080
Speaker 1: Wayingell me lessons man that you ain't gonna get nothing

541
00:24:43,119 --> 00:24:44,800
Speaker 1: to you, like you ain't gonna let you, just let

542
00:24:44,840 --> 00:24:47,480
Speaker 1: you win. Um, And no one beat him. I was

543
00:24:47,480 --> 00:24:48,720
Speaker 1: the first brother to beat him, and I was in

544
00:24:48,760 --> 00:24:50,640
Speaker 1: eighth grade when I beat him. He was just getting

545
00:24:50,680 --> 00:24:53,280
Speaker 1: a little older. Couldn't guard me, that's all the way.

546
00:24:53,320 --> 00:24:55,439
Speaker 1: He just couldn't guard me. But if I played him

547
00:24:55,440 --> 00:24:57,280
Speaker 1: on horse or anything like that, I still lose. You know,

548
00:24:57,440 --> 00:25:00,679
Speaker 1: what do you give you the outside shot? How do

549
00:25:00,720 --> 00:25:02,440
Speaker 1: you try to defend you? I mean he was trying

550
00:25:02,440 --> 00:25:04,359
Speaker 1: to guard me for really, just trying to guard me,

551
00:25:04,560 --> 00:25:07,480
Speaker 1: do all of it. And I'm I'm blowing by him,

552
00:25:07,520 --> 00:25:09,639
Speaker 1: you know, but and I knew what he couldn't. What

553
00:25:09,680 --> 00:25:11,639
Speaker 1: do you what his strength were and stuff like everybody

554
00:25:11,680 --> 00:25:13,040
Speaker 1: wouldn't be able to do, so I was just using

555
00:25:13,040 --> 00:25:16,560
Speaker 1: my speed. Um. But yeah, man, so many great lessons

556
00:25:16,560 --> 00:25:19,440
Speaker 1: growing up with three brothers and the older dad. That's

557
00:25:19,440 --> 00:25:21,719
Speaker 1: still competitive man. I mean we were talking trash with

558
00:25:21,840 --> 00:25:25,359
Speaker 1: Pops and I was probably too young to be saying

559
00:25:25,400 --> 00:25:27,520
Speaker 1: some of the things I said. He was going at

560
00:25:27,520 --> 00:25:29,679
Speaker 1: it man, you know. And uh, since I was a

561
00:25:29,680 --> 00:25:31,840
Speaker 1: young kid, I watched my older brothers compete with with

562
00:25:31,920 --> 00:25:34,639
Speaker 1: my pops. And they all seven years, eight years, nine

563
00:25:34,720 --> 00:25:37,400
Speaker 1: years older than me. So I wanted to be involved,

564
00:25:37,400 --> 00:25:39,720
Speaker 1: you know, I wanted I was watching and I feel

565
00:25:39,720 --> 00:25:41,439
Speaker 1: like I was left out because they would say I'm

566
00:25:41,480 --> 00:25:43,080
Speaker 1: not old enough and stuff like that. So you know,

567
00:25:43,080 --> 00:25:45,479
Speaker 1: I kind of was able to get into it earlier.

568
00:25:45,480 --> 00:25:47,359
Speaker 1: They kind of let me in early. But we had

569
00:25:47,400 --> 00:25:49,480
Speaker 1: a lot of great lessons. Who was your favorite player

570
00:25:50,040 --> 00:25:56,600
Speaker 1: NBA player? Um? Probably Carmelo when I was growing Up's

571
00:25:56,640 --> 00:26:01,680
Speaker 1: your dog's name? Yeah? I love Carmelo. I love Karmelo. Um.

572
00:26:01,760 --> 00:26:05,040
Speaker 1: That ain't right though, but you in such a different game. Yeah, No,

573
00:26:05,119 --> 00:26:06,919
Speaker 1: I didn't play. I wouldn't. I wasn't saying I wouldn't

574
00:26:06,920 --> 00:26:08,400
Speaker 1: say I was trying to play with him. Like growing up,

575
00:26:08,440 --> 00:26:11,639
Speaker 1: like high school favorite player was like Derrick Rose because

576
00:26:11,640 --> 00:26:15,240
Speaker 1: he was at Semeon we lived in Illinois and um

577
00:26:15,240 --> 00:26:17,200
Speaker 1: we was living in Chicago and he was at Semion

578
00:26:17,359 --> 00:26:20,040
Speaker 1: and he was just the man, like he was one

579
00:26:20,080 --> 00:26:23,080
Speaker 1: player in the country, like he was crazy. And uh

580
00:26:23,840 --> 00:26:26,160
Speaker 1: one of our friends that like Brandon Paul who play

581
00:26:26,200 --> 00:26:28,560

583
00:26:30,240 --> 00:26:33,040
Speaker 1: we would always watch And I love Derek bro I

00:26:51,240 --> 00:26:53,240
Speaker 1: Uh yeah, I mean they were hiding me a little bit,

590
00:26:54,080 --> 00:26:56,000
Speaker 1: just just because that's how it is in Texas. Man.

591
00:26:56,040 --> 00:27:00,639
Speaker 1: Everyone thinks that Texas is and all the all, and

592
00:27:00,720 --> 00:27:03,840
Speaker 1: for me, it wasn't that. And uh, you know, I

593
00:27:03,880 --> 00:27:07,119
Speaker 1: got a lot of love for for Austin, but it

594
00:27:07,240 --> 00:27:08,960
Speaker 1: just wasn't right for me to go to Texas at

595
00:27:09,040 --> 00:27:12,240
Speaker 1: least at that moment. And uh, my dad and mom

596

Speaker 1: had a big you know, big influence on my decision,

597
00:27:15,640 --> 00:27:17,680
Speaker 1: and they helped me out. You know, they were great

Speaker 1: practice should look and knew how you know, our individual

605
00:27:39,600 --> 00:27:41,560
Speaker 1: drives should look. Along with coach hard Line, you know,
