<v Speaker 1>you're by a week I was, man, it was great. Um.

0:00:54.720 --> 0:00:56.320

0:00:56.400 --> 0:00:59.000
<v Speaker 1>it up here and got some sleep, got my legs

0:00:59.000 --> 0:01:00.640
<v Speaker 1>back under me. So I'm feeling, you know, going in

0:01:00.720 --> 0:01:03.040
<v Speaker 1>this week time. I gotta imagine a lot of people

0:01:03.040 --> 0:01:05.920
<v Speaker 1>from Ohio state and wanted you back. Huh. I wanted

0:01:06.000 --> 0:01:08.280
<v Speaker 1>to be back, um, but once again, you know, I

0:01:08.280 --> 0:01:10.720
<v Speaker 1>feel like once I travel and kind of get into that.

0:01:10.800 --> 0:01:13.040
<v Speaker 1>I don't I don't, uh, I don't know. It takes

0:01:13.040 --> 0:01:15.360
<v Speaker 1>my body a while to get acclumated, you know. So

0:01:15.360 --> 0:01:17.240
<v Speaker 1>so I wanted to, you know, just take everything off

0:01:17.280 --> 0:01:19.000
<v Speaker 1>my body for the week and and you know, get

0:01:19.000 --> 0:01:21.560
<v Speaker 1>rejuvenated for for the Patriots. All right, So you wanted

0:01:21.560 --> 0:01:25.679
<v Speaker 1>to get rejuned rejuvenated, I should say, And you had

0:01:25.680 --> 0:01:29.680
<v Speaker 1>the opportunity to go to the world's most famous arena, Yeah,

0:01:30.160 --> 0:01:34.560
<v Speaker 1>Manson Square Garden for the latest UFC fights. What was

0:01:34.600 --> 0:01:36.880
<v Speaker 1>that like? On Saturday night? That was my first time

0:01:36.959 --> 0:01:41.520
<v Speaker 1>ever attending to fight. And it's really cool, man. It's different.

0:01:41.560 --> 0:01:44.000
<v Speaker 1>You know you kind of have people going in and out. Um,

0:01:44.120 --> 0:01:46.000
<v Speaker 1>all of a sudden at the end of the stadium

0:01:46.040 --> 0:01:47.560
<v Speaker 1>is full, but you kind of like, how do you

0:01:47.560 --> 0:01:48.920
<v Speaker 1>get this way? You know, no one was sitting down

0:01:49.000 --> 0:01:52.280
<v Speaker 1>ten minutes ago, and um, yeah, man, it was really cool.

0:01:52.280 --> 0:01:53.960
<v Speaker 1>You know, you got a lot of emotion depending on

0:01:54.120 --> 0:01:56.480
<v Speaker 1>you know, who you think is gonna win. And and uh,

0:01:56.600 --> 0:01:58.000
<v Speaker 1>I didn't know. I was honestly as big of a

0:01:58.000 --> 0:01:59.360
<v Speaker 1>fan as I ended up being by the end of

0:01:59.360 --> 0:02:01.480
<v Speaker 1>that night. So it was really cool too. You know,

0:02:02.160 --> 0:02:04.520
<v Speaker 1>experience at UFC fight, What was your favorite fight of

0:02:04.600 --> 0:02:06.960
<v Speaker 1>the evening? And can you talk about your partnership with

0:02:07.000 --> 0:02:10.040
<v Speaker 1>that location what you were doing throughout the evening. Yeah, so, um,

0:02:10.120 --> 0:02:14.040
<v Speaker 1>on Location provided us with a suite. Um, I did

0:02:14.080 --> 0:02:16.720
<v Speaker 1>an interview before we did the before we went up

0:02:16.720 --> 0:02:18.239
<v Speaker 1>and got in the Swede and got to our seats,

0:02:18.240 --> 0:02:20.600
<v Speaker 1>we did an interview which was really cool and UM

0:02:20.720 --> 0:02:23.280
<v Speaker 1>overall just just made it a good, good experience for me.

0:02:23.280 --> 0:02:24.600
<v Speaker 1>You know, I didn't really know what I was getting

0:02:24.600 --> 0:02:26.959
<v Speaker 1>into going to the fight, but they kind of guided

0:02:27.000 --> 0:02:28.320
<v Speaker 1>me through it, tell me where I was going, show

0:02:28.360 --> 0:02:30.919
<v Speaker 1>me how to get around MSG and walked past Stephen

0:02:30.960 --> 0:02:33.240
<v Speaker 1>the you got to say hello, you know, stuff like that. Man.

0:02:33.280 --> 0:02:36.280
<v Speaker 1>It was cool. UM. So yeah, No, on Location was

0:02:36.480 --> 0:02:39.359
<v Speaker 1>really helpful. But UM, tell me what the tell me what.

0:02:39.400 --> 0:02:40.880
<v Speaker 1>The first part of the question was on sorry your

0:02:40.880 --> 0:02:46.040
<v Speaker 1>favorite brawl the evening, favorite fight of the evening at

0:02:46.040 --> 0:02:48.160
<v Speaker 1>a son your loss? So I had to say, way Lee,

0:02:48.280 --> 0:02:52.000
<v Speaker 1>I believe her name was UM the co main event.

0:02:52.680 --> 0:02:54.600
<v Speaker 1>She was She was awesome. I feel like she got

0:02:54.600 --> 0:02:56.080
<v Speaker 1>it done fast. I kind of knew she was gonna

0:02:56.080 --> 0:02:58.880
<v Speaker 1>get it done fast. UM and I kind of watched

0:02:58.880 --> 0:03:00.640
<v Speaker 1>like some YouTube videos before are leading up at her

0:03:00.639 --> 0:03:02.040
<v Speaker 1>because I just heard she was a beast and Taytor

0:03:02.120 --> 0:03:04.359
<v Speaker 1>was all in on it and she did a good job,

0:03:04.520 --> 0:03:07.000
<v Speaker 1>so she was fun to watch the main event. What's

0:03:07.040 --> 0:03:10.480
<v Speaker 1>your major takeaway from that where somebody has control for

0:03:10.840 --> 0:03:15.560
<v Speaker 1>four rounds and then something flips. Yeah, I mean I

0:03:15.560 --> 0:03:18.400
<v Speaker 1>feel like I feel like Pereira had his his mindset

0:03:18.400 --> 0:03:19.959
<v Speaker 1>when he came out that fifth round that he's got

0:03:19.960 --> 0:03:21.680
<v Speaker 1>to end here because he knows that if it, if

0:03:21.680 --> 0:03:23.480
<v Speaker 1>you don't knock him out, he was gonna lose, you know.

0:03:24.080 --> 0:03:26.640
<v Speaker 1>And yeah, I mean that's the mindset you can take

0:03:26.680 --> 0:03:28.320
<v Speaker 1>into a lot of different things you're doing life. You know,

0:03:28.360 --> 0:03:30.880
<v Speaker 1>it's never over till it's over. Um. You know you

0:03:30.880 --> 0:03:34.880
<v Speaker 1>gotta finish um. And yeah, just like I said, you

0:03:34.880 --> 0:03:36.360
<v Speaker 1>know it's never over to us over. I mean he

0:03:36.400 --> 0:03:38.600
<v Speaker 1>was he was clearly losing the fight, at least from

0:03:38.600 --> 0:03:42.040
<v Speaker 1>my my judge eyes up in the box, right, I

0:03:42.040 --> 0:03:43.880
<v Speaker 1>think I think I was right. I feel like that's

0:03:43.880 --> 0:03:47.680
<v Speaker 1>the majority the not understanding of it. But yeah, I

0:03:47.680 --> 0:03:49.400
<v Speaker 1>mean he came out in round five and really proved

0:03:49.400 --> 0:03:54.000
<v Speaker 1>something so unexpected and also just the emotion that all

0:03:54.000 --> 0:03:56.800
<v Speaker 1>those fighters have after winning. Man, it's uh it's awesome

0:03:56.800 --> 0:03:59.440
<v Speaker 1>to see because you know, you put as much into

0:03:59.480 --> 0:04:02.280
<v Speaker 1>it as they, and um, you know, I see a

0:04:02.320 --> 0:04:05.120
<v Speaker 1>few parallels. You know, we're playing playing football and um,

0:04:05.160 --> 0:04:06.800
<v Speaker 1>you know. But besides that, like you know, it's not

0:04:06.840 --> 0:04:08.760
<v Speaker 1>a team sport, it's everything is on them, you know,

0:04:09.120 --> 0:04:11.280
<v Speaker 1>And I think it's really cool, man, just every other

0:04:11.280 --> 0:04:13.720
<v Speaker 1>pressure on it and everything. Did it get real quiet

0:04:13.920 --> 0:04:16.679
<v Speaker 1>when it was clear that out of Sagna was out,

0:04:16.760 --> 0:04:20.240
<v Speaker 1>because I think most of the crowd was probably behind him, No,

0:04:20.400 --> 0:04:23.159
<v Speaker 1>for sure, Um, I would say it sounded like about

0:04:23.160 --> 0:04:26.159
<v Speaker 1>eighty nine of us were there to see out of signa,

0:04:26.240 --> 0:04:29.840
<v Speaker 1>you know when and keep the boat. But yeah, man, Pereira,

0:04:30.600 --> 0:04:33.920
<v Speaker 1>I mean he was getting booed. Oh yeah, he handled it, man,

0:04:33.960 --> 0:04:35.760
<v Speaker 1>he handled it and I pushed through at the end.

0:04:35.800 --> 0:04:38.000
<v Speaker 1>So it did get quiet, if I remember correctly, he

0:04:38.040 --> 0:04:40.560
<v Speaker 1>got quiet. I was something mad, honestly, I probably I

0:04:40.600 --> 0:04:42.479
<v Speaker 1>was mad, I'm not gonna live and I was mad.

0:04:42.520 --> 0:04:44.320
<v Speaker 1>I kind of lost it for like the ten secons

0:04:44.400 --> 0:04:45.920
<v Speaker 1>right after the fight and had to get up out

0:04:45.920 --> 0:04:48.039
<v Speaker 1>of there. But it definitely got quiet, Like you know,

0:04:48.080 --> 0:04:50.279
<v Speaker 1>I wasn't the only one feeling that way. Do you

0:04:50.279 --> 0:04:53.440
<v Speaker 1>see any parallels what happened there and what's happening with

0:04:53.480 --> 0:04:56.120
<v Speaker 1>you guys on the road so far this season, Because

0:04:56.279 --> 0:04:59.880
<v Speaker 1>I'd go back to Cleveland and think about how you're

0:05:00.080 --> 0:05:03.640
<v Speaker 1>league quiet that stadium became. When Corey has the long

0:05:03.680 --> 0:05:06.360
<v Speaker 1>touchdown reception, you guys will cover the on side kick

0:05:06.400 --> 0:05:11.760
<v Speaker 1>and then you end it with the touchdown reception from Joe. Yeah, um,

0:05:11.800 --> 0:05:13.320
<v Speaker 1>I mean it kind of. I kind of do see

0:05:13.360 --> 0:05:15.360
<v Speaker 1>some parallels. You know, we're we're on the road team,

0:05:15.360 --> 0:05:17.960
<v Speaker 1>and you gotta embrace those embrace those moments. You know,

0:05:18.000 --> 0:05:21.840
<v Speaker 1>you gotta embrace being the underdog, being the the one

0:05:21.880 --> 0:05:23.560
<v Speaker 1>that everyone sup wants to see fail. Man, you gotta

0:05:23.560 --> 0:05:25.599
<v Speaker 1>embrace those moments and kind of use it to fuel you.

0:05:26.279 --> 0:05:28.560
<v Speaker 1>And um, yeah, you know, for obviously did a good

0:05:28.600 --> 0:05:29.919
<v Speaker 1>job of that. But we've done a great job with

0:05:29.960 --> 0:05:31.800
<v Speaker 1>that throughout this season, you know, winning on the road,

0:05:31.839 --> 0:05:34.279
<v Speaker 1>and hopefully it's something that can carry into the second

0:05:34.320 --> 0:05:36.320
<v Speaker 1>half of the season. You know. But um, when you

0:05:36.360 --> 0:05:39.039
<v Speaker 1>have that that mentality and and um that you know

0:05:39.160 --> 0:05:40.600
<v Speaker 1>we got we have something to prove and we're going

0:05:40.640 --> 0:05:42.599
<v Speaker 1>on the road, and that you know this we could

0:05:42.600 --> 0:05:44.680
<v Speaker 1>turn this into our place. I feel like it carries

0:05:44.720 --> 0:05:46.960
<v Speaker 1>over well and Um, yeah, I feel like we've done

0:05:47.000 --> 0:05:48.320
<v Speaker 1>a good job of that so far. How much you

0:05:48.440 --> 0:05:51.880
<v Speaker 1>like the vibe of New York, of playing here, like

0:05:51.960 --> 0:05:55.159
<v Speaker 1>you just attended a big time event in the city.

0:05:55.279 --> 0:06:00.240
<v Speaker 1>But MetLife Stadium is rocking now because everybody's on award.

0:06:00.320 --> 0:06:03.120
<v Speaker 1>With the Jets being six and three, I mean, the

0:06:03.120 --> 0:06:04.920
<v Speaker 1>stadium is a whole lot different than the first three

0:06:04.960 --> 0:06:07.159
<v Speaker 1>weeks you know, we were in there. The last couple

0:06:07.160 --> 0:06:11.160
<v Speaker 1>of weeks have been electric in there, and um man,

0:06:11.200 --> 0:06:13.480
<v Speaker 1>it's really special playing up here and especially winning, you know.

0:06:14.600 --> 0:06:17.400
<v Speaker 1>Um obviously I haven't been anywhere else. I can't speak on,

0:06:17.560 --> 0:06:20.159
<v Speaker 1>you know, anywhere else as far as NFL, but I

0:06:20.160 --> 0:06:22.479
<v Speaker 1>can't imagine it being better than this, you know. And

0:06:22.480 --> 0:06:24.120
<v Speaker 1>and as far as off the field, man, you got

0:06:24.160 --> 0:06:26.599
<v Speaker 1>every opportunity at your feet, you know. I feel like

0:06:26.640 --> 0:06:29.240
<v Speaker 1>you can never you can never run out of things

0:06:29.240 --> 0:06:31.239
<v Speaker 1>to do as far as in this, you know, twenty

0:06:31.400 --> 0:06:34.719
<v Speaker 1>five mile radius. It's really crazy and I just blessed

0:06:34.720 --> 0:06:36.280
<v Speaker 1>to be here. And every day, you know, I wake

0:06:36.360 --> 0:06:38.200
<v Speaker 1>up in New York, I'm like, what I'm gonna do today? Man?

0:06:38.320 --> 0:06:40.280
<v Speaker 1>I really got all the options I practice, but what

0:06:40.320 --> 0:06:42.680
<v Speaker 1>I'm gonna do? And I love that about. It's really

0:06:42.720 --> 0:06:46.000
<v Speaker 1>special out here. You're the only rookie receiver who had

0:06:46.120 --> 0:06:49.440
<v Speaker 1>ninety yards receiving in his first nine games in the

0:06:49.520 --> 0:06:53.200
<v Speaker 1>National Football League. You've high expectations for yourself, always have.

0:06:53.880 --> 0:06:56.920
<v Speaker 1>What do you think about your start here? I feel like,

0:06:56.960 --> 0:06:59.840
<v Speaker 1>you know, it's had its ups and downs, um, you

0:07:00.040 --> 0:07:02.479
<v Speaker 1>and I feel like I'm I'm I'm starting to get

0:07:02.480 --> 0:07:05.040
<v Speaker 1>it a little bit. I'm starting to, um feel like,

0:07:05.160 --> 0:07:07.800
<v Speaker 1>you know, feel like myself again, at least personally. I know,

0:07:07.839 --> 0:07:11.600
<v Speaker 1>I'm feeling like myself. And and uh yeah, you know,

0:07:11.640 --> 0:07:14.320
<v Speaker 1>it's been everything I expected and then something. But but

0:07:14.840 --> 0:07:16.520
<v Speaker 1>you know, for me to put a lot of pressure

0:07:16.520 --> 0:07:18.200
<v Speaker 1>on myself and expect me not to mess up and

0:07:18.320 --> 0:07:20.240
<v Speaker 1>make some make some mistakes here and there, and this

0:07:20.280 --> 0:07:22.440
<v Speaker 1>is my first time experience, and you know, something like this,

0:07:23.040 --> 0:07:25.120
<v Speaker 1>UM was unrealistic for me. So you know, I'm glad

0:07:25.160 --> 0:07:28.200
<v Speaker 1>I um had some had some bumpy starts and bumpy

0:07:28.640 --> 0:07:30.600
<v Speaker 1>mumpy games, you know, to get those hopefully out of

0:07:30.600 --> 0:07:33.360
<v Speaker 1>the system and never never returned. But overall, man, I

0:07:33.360 --> 0:07:35.000
<v Speaker 1>feel good. I feel like I'm learning every week. I

0:07:35.000 --> 0:07:37.400
<v Speaker 1>feel like I'm getting better every week, and you know

0:07:37.440 --> 0:07:39.880
<v Speaker 1>that's that's all I can really ask for how would

0:07:39.920 --> 0:07:42.720
<v Speaker 1>you describe those bumps? Like from my fire people would

0:07:42.720 --> 0:07:45.960
<v Speaker 1>be like, geez, take care of business out. Yeah, I

0:07:45.960 --> 0:07:49.200
<v Speaker 1>mean personally, I I know my ability and I and

0:07:49.240 --> 0:07:51.320
<v Speaker 1>I put some balls on the ground some drops early.

0:07:51.880 --> 0:07:54.520
<v Speaker 1>Um and I started it. I started in camp, so

0:07:55.560 --> 0:07:57.800
<v Speaker 1>you know, and I started and O t A is

0:07:57.840 --> 0:07:59.880
<v Speaker 1>actually and and it carried into the start of the

0:08:00.000 --> 0:08:04.040
<v Speaker 1>season and uh, just getting into my routes fast blocking wise.

0:08:04.120 --> 0:08:05.640
<v Speaker 1>You know, there's a lot of things that we go

0:08:05.720 --> 0:08:08.000
<v Speaker 1>watch the film that when you when you really go

0:08:08.080 --> 0:08:09.920
<v Speaker 1>and watching dig deep and look for something to get

0:08:09.960 --> 0:08:11.920
<v Speaker 1>better at your fine. You know, I'm not watching it

0:08:12.000 --> 0:08:15.480
<v Speaker 1>just to see you know why this Uh you know,

0:08:15.480 --> 0:08:17.320
<v Speaker 1>I'm not watching my film to see how I scored

0:08:17.360 --> 0:08:20.120
<v Speaker 1>that touchdown. I'm watching it too correct how I could

0:08:20.120 --> 0:08:23.360
<v Speaker 1>have scored faster, made and made it easier on myself

0:08:23.360 --> 0:08:25.640
<v Speaker 1>to make a catch. And uh, that's that's gotta be

0:08:25.680 --> 0:08:27.360
<v Speaker 1>the mentality I take into the film room taking to

0:08:27.400 --> 0:08:29.560
<v Speaker 1>the practice field. You know, I gotta find some to

0:08:29.680 --> 0:08:32.120
<v Speaker 1>improve on every day just so I can keep building. Man,

0:08:32.160 --> 0:08:34.760
<v Speaker 1>because the moment I don't, you know, you start, you're

0:08:34.800 --> 0:08:37.280
<v Speaker 1>gonna fall off. And I don't want that to be

0:08:37.320 --> 0:08:40.960
<v Speaker 1>the case, you know, but yeah, those bumps, they haven't

0:08:41.000 --> 0:08:43.760
<v Speaker 1>been two bumpies so far. But overall, I just know

0:08:43.880 --> 0:08:45.480
<v Speaker 1>myself and know that I lest some plays on the

0:08:45.480 --> 0:08:47.600
<v Speaker 1>field and I would want them back. How big were

0:08:47.640 --> 0:08:51.000
<v Speaker 1>the last two weeks for you and the young quarterback

0:08:51.080 --> 0:08:54.640
<v Speaker 1>Zach Wilson, because there was a spot there where hey,

0:08:54.679 --> 0:08:57.520
<v Speaker 1>a lot of balls weren't coming your way. But we

0:08:57.559 --> 0:09:01.000
<v Speaker 1>saw it against the Patriots, we saw it against the Bill. Like,

0:09:01.080 --> 0:09:03.920
<v Speaker 1>can you guys carry that momentum now heading into this

0:09:04.320 --> 0:09:07.319
<v Speaker 1>uh post by stretch? Yeah, it's just building. Um, it's

0:09:07.320 --> 0:09:10.199
<v Speaker 1>been building since since he got back, since camp, honestly,

0:09:10.640 --> 0:09:12.280
<v Speaker 1>and uh, you know we had the hiccup in between

0:09:12.280 --> 0:09:15.400
<v Speaker 1>where he got hurt and uh ever since he got backman,

0:09:15.400 --> 0:09:17.080
<v Speaker 1>we've just been continuing to building. It kind of goes

0:09:17.080 --> 0:09:19.000
<v Speaker 1>back to what I'm saying, get better every day and

0:09:19.040 --> 0:09:21.040
<v Speaker 1>that that's not just in the film room, not just

0:09:21.080 --> 0:09:23.280
<v Speaker 1>on the predit field with Zach, with our relationship, you

0:09:23.320 --> 0:09:25.840
<v Speaker 1>know all those things. And uh, Zack has a similar

0:09:25.960 --> 0:09:27.800
<v Speaker 1>same mindset about that. You know, we always trying to

0:09:27.800 --> 0:09:29.640
<v Speaker 1>improve something. He comes in the in the room and

0:09:29.679 --> 0:09:31.600
<v Speaker 1>talks about what we uh you know, what we can

0:09:31.640 --> 0:09:34.120
<v Speaker 1>do this week to exploit something or what we need

0:09:34.160 --> 0:09:36.280
<v Speaker 1>to work on what he saw in film, and and

0:09:36.360 --> 0:09:38.200
<v Speaker 1>for me personally being a young dude and him being

0:09:38.200 --> 0:09:39.680
<v Speaker 1>a young dude, man, that's great for me. I need

0:09:39.720 --> 0:09:42.480
<v Speaker 1>to hear that. I need to to hear my quarterbacks

0:09:42.520 --> 0:09:43.679
<v Speaker 1>thinking because at the end of the day, I want

0:09:43.679 --> 0:09:45.439
<v Speaker 1>to be what he wants me to do. I want

0:09:45.440 --> 0:09:46.720
<v Speaker 1>to be whatever he wants me to be. You know.

0:09:46.720 --> 0:09:48.240
<v Speaker 1>I want to get the ball as much as possible.

0:09:48.240 --> 0:09:50.840
<v Speaker 1>I want to make the play. I want to um

0:09:51.040 --> 0:09:52.800
<v Speaker 1>make every play that that he throes to me. And

0:09:52.840 --> 0:09:54.960
<v Speaker 1>so it's important that we have those conversations, that we

0:09:55.000 --> 0:09:57.920
<v Speaker 1>have those that we have those talks and corrections so

0:09:57.960 --> 0:09:59.520
<v Speaker 1>that we can, you know, be on the same page

0:09:59.559 --> 0:10:01.760
<v Speaker 1>and and be be hitting on all cylinders when it

0:10:01.800 --> 0:10:03.920
<v Speaker 1>comes out of Sunday. Do you have an opportunity to

0:10:03.920 --> 0:10:07.559
<v Speaker 1>watch any ball on Sunday? I wanted to ask you

0:10:07.600 --> 0:10:10.599
<v Speaker 1>about the Vikings game with the Buffalo Bills. It's a

0:10:10.600 --> 0:10:12.280
<v Speaker 1>great game, man, I've never seen nothing like it, for real.

0:10:12.400 --> 0:10:15.840
<v Speaker 1>It's crazy. So obviously that was a good finish for

0:10:15.880 --> 0:10:18.200
<v Speaker 1>you guys, because look at you guys sitting there are

0:10:18.240 --> 0:10:20.600
<v Speaker 1>six and three a half game behind the Miami Dolphins.

0:10:20.920 --> 0:10:23.960
<v Speaker 1>You're tied technically with the Buffalo Bills, but you have

0:10:24.000 --> 0:10:27.280
<v Speaker 1>a better record than them and also beat them inside

0:10:27.320 --> 0:10:29.600
<v Speaker 1>the division. But I wanted to ask you about two

0:10:29.600 --> 0:10:33.920
<v Speaker 1>performers in that game. Yeah, justin Jefferson. What do you

0:10:33.960 --> 0:10:36.600
<v Speaker 1>like most about his game? And what did you see

0:10:36.640 --> 0:10:39.240
<v Speaker 1>on Sunday that you really appreciate it? Just the way

0:10:39.280 --> 0:10:40.760
<v Speaker 1>he gets in and out of his brakes, Man, it's

0:10:40.800 --> 0:10:45.360
<v Speaker 1>really uh special in his ability to to deceive the dvs. Man,

0:10:45.400 --> 0:10:49.079
<v Speaker 1>he's got a really special rocker step, you know that

0:10:49.120 --> 0:10:51.000
<v Speaker 1>you don't see in a lot of receivers where they can.

0:10:51.679 --> 0:10:53.640
<v Speaker 1>To me, it looked like he played hoops growing up,

0:10:54.040 --> 0:10:56.160
<v Speaker 1>like he uh, you know, it's got a little crossover

0:10:56.280 --> 0:10:58.920
<v Speaker 1>and then not like he's got all that and you

0:10:58.920 --> 0:11:01.040
<v Speaker 1>can tell he translates to the up I feel real well.

0:11:01.080 --> 0:11:04.439
<v Speaker 1>And then um, but you know him and his quarterback

0:11:04.480 --> 0:11:06.120
<v Speaker 1>on the same page all the time, and it's, uh,

0:11:06.120 --> 0:11:07.480
<v Speaker 1>it's really fun to watch. Me. I had a whole

0:11:07.520 --> 0:11:09.559
<v Speaker 1>lot of fun watching that game. And uh, I didn't

0:11:09.559 --> 0:11:11.200
<v Speaker 1>know it was at noon, right, It wasn't nothing. One

0:11:11.240 --> 0:11:13.520
<v Speaker 1>of the Neon games was at four. It was because

0:11:14.200 --> 0:11:16.480
<v Speaker 1>the excuse me, Yeah, I didn't know that game was on,

0:11:16.559 --> 0:11:18.080
<v Speaker 1>so turn on TV and that game is. I'm like,

0:11:18.800 --> 0:11:20.640
<v Speaker 1>it's real good, you know, seven and one and six

0:11:20.640 --> 0:11:23.000
<v Speaker 1>and two and uh yeah, I mean the Bills gave

0:11:23.040 --> 0:11:24.360
<v Speaker 1>it to him. I think I'm not gonna lie, but

0:11:24.480 --> 0:11:28.640
<v Speaker 1>I mean overall, justin Jefferson, that was top five performers

0:11:28.679 --> 0:11:30.800
<v Speaker 1>I watched, you know, really yeah, I would say top

0:11:30.840 --> 0:11:34.240
<v Speaker 1>five man. I mean when did Yeah, it's when you

0:11:34.280 --> 0:11:37.240
<v Speaker 1>make the catches. Um, that's special. I mean the dB

0:11:37.400 --> 0:11:42.200
<v Speaker 1>caught it for him and uh he went and got it. Man.

0:11:42.240 --> 0:11:43.880
<v Speaker 1>He took it from him in his fourth down. I

0:11:43.920 --> 0:11:47.800
<v Speaker 1>think it was fourth and long and minute left. I mean,

0:11:47.840 --> 0:11:50.160
<v Speaker 1>it's it's special. That's when you gotta do that, when

0:11:50.160 --> 0:11:51.760
<v Speaker 1>you gotta make those plays. And he did it. Man.

0:11:51.800 --> 0:11:53.760
<v Speaker 1>That's that's uh, you know, that's what we grew up

0:11:53.800 --> 0:11:55.400
<v Speaker 1>talking about. Some of my pops grow up telling me,

0:11:55.440 --> 0:11:57.320
<v Speaker 1>you know this, big players make big plays. You know.

0:11:57.400 --> 0:12:00.600
<v Speaker 1>That's that's the definition of that right there. What about Diggs.

0:12:01.040 --> 0:12:04.960
<v Speaker 1>It's funny. It's funny because I was watching uh interview

0:12:05.000 --> 0:12:07.800
<v Speaker 1>you had with Caroline here recently, and one of the

0:12:07.880 --> 0:12:11.120
<v Speaker 1>shots the folks in the back used was you doing

0:12:11.160 --> 0:12:14.240
<v Speaker 1>a one handed catch at practice. What did you think

0:12:14.280 --> 0:12:17.079
<v Speaker 1>about his one handed His one hand was sweet. I

0:12:17.200 --> 0:12:21.280
<v Speaker 1>honestly thought that was a better catch, But the moment

0:12:21.360 --> 0:12:25.040
<v Speaker 1>of it is what was sways, the tips, the tips,

0:12:25.080 --> 0:12:27.800
<v Speaker 1>the scale. But yeah, dis played well as well. Man.

0:12:27.800 --> 0:12:29.720
<v Speaker 1>He's really fun to watch and got to go against

0:12:29.720 --> 0:12:31.200
<v Speaker 1>his former team. You know, I feel like he had

0:12:31.200 --> 0:12:34.760
<v Speaker 1>no chance, no choice but to with the ball out. Honestly, Um,

0:12:34.800 --> 0:12:38.160
<v Speaker 1>you know, the vikings came out fine. Justin Justin Jefferson

0:12:38.200 --> 0:12:42.840
<v Speaker 1>had like seventy yards in the first first drive, you know, so, um,

0:12:42.920 --> 0:12:45.280
<v Speaker 1>Digs had the ball and he did that. Man, he

0:12:45.360 --> 0:12:47.840
<v Speaker 1>really bawled and him and him and Josh Allen also,

0:12:47.880 --> 0:12:49.760
<v Speaker 1>you know, they got a great connection, always on the

0:12:49.800 --> 0:12:52.160
<v Speaker 1>same page, and even when they're not, you know, Digs

0:12:52.160 --> 0:12:54.000
<v Speaker 1>are gonna make a play for him or vice versa.

0:12:54.040 --> 0:12:55.800
<v Speaker 1>And it's Uh, that was one of the better games

0:12:55.800 --> 0:13:00.760
<v Speaker 1>I've watched in a long time. Man. What makes so

0:13:00.840 --> 0:13:06.120
<v Speaker 1>impressive Because he doesn't run routes that you typically see

0:13:06.200 --> 0:13:09.680
<v Speaker 1>a receiver run. I would say he's he's just very unique.

0:13:09.679 --> 0:13:12.920
<v Speaker 1>The way he pressed it, Um, I think his false

0:13:12.920 --> 0:13:15.920
<v Speaker 1>acceleration is really good. He's got a great ability to

0:13:15.960 --> 0:13:19.040
<v Speaker 1>look like he's he's um pushing vertical really hard when

0:13:19.080 --> 0:13:22.760
<v Speaker 1>really he's perfectly under control, and the dB has a

0:13:22.760 --> 0:13:24.880
<v Speaker 1>hard time, you know, being able to tell if he's

0:13:24.920 --> 0:13:28.480
<v Speaker 1>running full speed or if he's jogging, and you know it,

0:13:28.480 --> 0:13:30.640
<v Speaker 1>it's a false acceleration and it truly is a skill.

0:13:30.760 --> 0:13:33.080
<v Speaker 1>You know, you gotta build that. You know, you don't

0:13:33.080 --> 0:13:34.520
<v Speaker 1>want to always look like you're running to go and

0:13:34.559 --> 0:13:36.719
<v Speaker 1>you're running to go, you know. So I feel like

0:13:36.760 --> 0:13:39.120
<v Speaker 1>he does a good job of setting things up. And

0:13:39.240 --> 0:13:41.079
<v Speaker 1>also you can tell he's a great in the film room.

0:13:41.240 --> 0:13:43.679
<v Speaker 1>You know, Um, I think first play last week, they

0:13:43.679 --> 0:13:47.160
<v Speaker 1>come out and he slips inside on the on the

0:13:47.160 --> 0:13:49.640
<v Speaker 1>go ball against us and catches it down the sideline

0:13:49.679 --> 0:13:51.960
<v Speaker 1>for about thirty forty And that's film where you know

0:13:52.000 --> 0:13:54.320
<v Speaker 1>he ain't no sauce was gonna play it like that.

0:13:54.360 --> 0:13:56.920
<v Speaker 1>But you watch film and you could tell that's what

0:13:56.960 --> 0:13:58.760
<v Speaker 1>I see in him, and UH got a lot of

0:13:58.880 --> 0:14:00.959
<v Speaker 1>respect for that, And you know, you gotta chip on

0:14:01.000 --> 0:14:02.640
<v Speaker 1>the show. You always go out there with something to prove,

0:14:02.840 --> 0:14:05.920
<v Speaker 1>you know, do you take parts of each of their

0:14:05.960 --> 0:14:10.840
<v Speaker 1>games because you can see it the way you have

0:14:12.000 --> 0:14:14.920
<v Speaker 1>you have a unique style. But also at the same time,

0:14:15.280 --> 0:14:18.720
<v Speaker 1>your buddy your teammate Tyler Conchland, who played with Justin

0:14:19.040 --> 0:14:22.520
<v Speaker 1>in Minnesota. He was the first guy here said, you

0:14:22.520 --> 0:14:24.880
<v Speaker 1>know who I see Garrett, I see a little bit

0:14:24.920 --> 0:14:28.040
<v Speaker 1>of Justin Jefferson. Yeah. No, I try and take something

0:14:28.080 --> 0:14:30.840
<v Speaker 1>from from both of their games, for sure. Um, you know,

0:14:30.880 --> 0:14:32.680
<v Speaker 1>i'd be I'd be dumb not to They're both such

0:14:32.760 --> 0:14:36.200
<v Speaker 1>great players and and do things so well that, um,

0:14:36.240 --> 0:14:38.920
<v Speaker 1>you know, being a young dude coming into the league

0:14:38.920 --> 0:14:40.600
<v Speaker 1>and that didn't really know what exactly what I was

0:14:40.640 --> 0:14:42.840
<v Speaker 1>getting into, you know, that's all I was watching is

0:14:42.960 --> 0:14:46.920
<v Speaker 1>J Jedded Davante you had of um Stefon Diggs. You know,

0:14:47.160 --> 0:14:49.240
<v Speaker 1>I love. I love being a student of the game

0:14:49.280 --> 0:14:51.760
<v Speaker 1>and studying the other receivers and and learning how they

0:14:51.760 --> 0:14:54.520
<v Speaker 1>attack dbs and trying to add something to my game.

0:14:54.560 --> 0:14:57.400
<v Speaker 1>You know. But but um, you know, they all move different,

0:14:57.440 --> 0:14:59.600
<v Speaker 1>We all move different, and you know there's certain ways

0:14:59.640 --> 0:15:02.080
<v Speaker 1>you can add certain things that it only doesn't Jets

0:15:02.200 --> 0:15:03.560
<v Speaker 1>you can do that, you know, because it's way his

0:15:03.640 --> 0:15:06.760
<v Speaker 1>body moves, you know. But like, um, what I can add,

0:15:06.800 --> 0:15:10.240
<v Speaker 1>I'll try and add for sure, you know. And um, yeah,

0:15:10.480 --> 0:15:12.600
<v Speaker 1>did you talk Togs after the game. I ain't talked

0:15:12.600 --> 0:15:14.440
<v Speaker 1>to him I wanted to. Man, I feel like I

0:15:15.240 --> 0:15:17.480
<v Speaker 1>saw him and I wonder I had got approached by

0:15:17.520 --> 0:15:20.080
<v Speaker 1>someone to do like a little talk thing, and by

0:15:20.080 --> 0:15:22.400
<v Speaker 1>the time I turn around, he was gone. Man. You know,

0:15:22.880 --> 0:15:25.400
<v Speaker 1>I mean, I don't blame him, you know that. I

0:15:25.440 --> 0:15:27.640
<v Speaker 1>know I am after the loss. You know, it's say,

0:15:27.680 --> 0:15:29.400
<v Speaker 1>who say, what's up to? Whoever come up to me?

0:15:29.480 --> 0:15:32.600
<v Speaker 1>But besides that is I'm out of there, and uh,

0:15:32.720 --> 0:15:34.320
<v Speaker 1>hopefully next game I'll be able to chop it up

0:15:34.320 --> 0:15:36.560
<v Speaker 1>with him because you know, obviously one of my favorite receivers.

0:15:36.640 --> 0:15:38.360

<v Speaker 1>a team that you guys let one slip away the

0:16:41.040 --> 0:16:46.000
<v Speaker 1>first time you met him? I do, um. And the

0:16:46.040 --> 0:16:48.960
<v Speaker 1>thing is with this league man, that it doesn't really matter.

0:16:49.200 --> 0:16:50.720
<v Speaker 1>You know, it doesn't really matter. You gotta go out

0:16:50.760 --> 0:16:52.520
<v Speaker 1>and win the game. You know, you gotta go out

0:16:52.520 --> 0:16:56.680
<v Speaker 1>and do it. Um. You could look at the watch

0:16:56.760 --> 0:16:59.480
<v Speaker 1>the film and and think get an idea of how

0:16:59.560 --> 0:17:02.280
<v Speaker 1>this game go or how you're gonna play, But but

0:17:02.360 --> 0:17:03.880
<v Speaker 1>you gotta go out there and do it on Sunday.

0:17:03.880 --> 0:17:05.399
<v Speaker 1>And we left a lot of players on the field.

0:17:05.600 --> 0:17:07.760
<v Speaker 1>We didn't played our best and and we got beat

0:17:07.800 --> 0:17:10.280
<v Speaker 1>because of it. And um, yeah, that's the reality of it.

0:17:10.280 --> 0:17:11.840
<v Speaker 1>With this lead man, You're not just gonna You're not

0:17:11.880 --> 0:17:15.240
<v Speaker 1>just gonna really, um stumble upon a win. You know,

0:17:15.320 --> 0:17:17.320
<v Speaker 1>no matter what the circumstances are you gotta go go

0:17:17.400 --> 0:17:20.920
<v Speaker 1>win the game, and uh yeah, you had a big

0:17:20.960 --> 0:17:24.879
<v Speaker 1>game against them though, and Belichick, Yeah, you go over

0:17:24.920 --> 0:17:30.119
<v Speaker 1>a hundred yards um and I believe you had around

0:17:30.119 --> 0:17:32.879
<v Speaker 1>eight catches. You probably targeted nine times. And that's one

0:17:32.920 --> 0:17:34.800
<v Speaker 1>of the most impressive stats when you look at your

0:17:34.800 --> 0:17:37.080
<v Speaker 1>stat line a lot of times, is that not only

0:17:37.119 --> 0:17:39.879
<v Speaker 1>you're coming out with the receptions, but your percentage is

0:17:39.920 --> 0:17:42.640
<v Speaker 1>so high in terms of the targets that you're coming

0:17:42.640 --> 0:17:45.520
<v Speaker 1>down with the football. But Belichick's known over the years

0:17:45.560 --> 0:17:49.919
<v Speaker 1>to take away what an offense does, well, what do

0:17:49.960 --> 0:17:52.040
<v Speaker 1>you think he's gonna have in store for seventeen? The

0:17:52.119 --> 0:17:55.719
<v Speaker 1>second time, they got me a few times on Judean,

0:17:55.880 --> 0:17:58.879
<v Speaker 1>you know, getting into the flat and uh checking the

0:17:58.960 --> 0:18:02.760
<v Speaker 1>slot receiver. And I feel like I'll see a lot

0:18:02.800 --> 0:18:05.520
<v Speaker 1>more of that. They watched film the one time they

0:18:05.640 --> 0:18:07.480
<v Speaker 1>are at least one of the two times that he

0:18:07.480 --> 0:18:09.080
<v Speaker 1>did he got me and I was on the floor,

0:18:09.160 --> 0:18:11.480
<v Speaker 1>didn't get into my route. So I feel like they'll

0:18:11.520 --> 0:18:13.920
<v Speaker 1>probably do that. But you know, I'll have a plan.

0:18:14.080 --> 0:18:15.760
<v Speaker 1>I'll have a different plan than going into this game.

0:18:15.800 --> 0:18:17.920
<v Speaker 1>You know, we just played him two weeks ago and

0:18:17.920 --> 0:18:20.560
<v Speaker 1>and I just saw this DV group, man, and I

0:18:20.560 --> 0:18:22.160
<v Speaker 1>feel like I have a good plan of how how

0:18:22.160 --> 0:18:23.720
<v Speaker 1>to go about it. Man. So a lot of a

0:18:23.720 --> 0:18:27.119
<v Speaker 1>lot of respect of Belichick, but um, you know we

0:18:27.200 --> 0:18:29.280
<v Speaker 1>got something over here, and you know, I'm confident of

0:18:29.320 --> 0:18:32.560
<v Speaker 1>my booty. Whatever you got for me, you know we're

0:18:32.560 --> 0:18:35.159
<v Speaker 1>gonna be all right. Yeah, you're a football player. You

0:18:35.200 --> 0:18:39.680
<v Speaker 1>get it done from the outside in the inside. Do

0:18:39.760 --> 0:18:42.480
<v Speaker 1>you have preferences or it just depends on the game,

0:18:42.600 --> 0:18:44.159
<v Speaker 1>you know, as far as where you're lining it up,

0:18:44.320 --> 0:18:47.639
<v Speaker 1>it definitely depends on the game. But like slot is

0:18:47.680 --> 0:18:51.080
<v Speaker 1>easier slots, the easy, easier receiver position. Just as far

0:18:51.119 --> 0:18:52.800
<v Speaker 1>as you can play with a lot of more backyard

0:18:52.840 --> 0:18:54.680
<v Speaker 1>football rules, you can play with a lot of field.

0:18:55.640 --> 0:18:58.480
<v Speaker 1>Um you got don't have a sideline, you know, shortening

0:18:58.480 --> 0:19:01.040
<v Speaker 1>your your releases or not your really yeah, your releases

0:19:01.480 --> 0:19:03.280
<v Speaker 1>next to angles. You know, you when you're on the

0:19:03.320 --> 0:19:05.440
<v Speaker 1>sideline in the boundary especially, you know you can't really

0:19:05.440 --> 0:19:08.880
<v Speaker 1>get that wide on your release because the sidelines right there. Um,

0:19:09.240 --> 0:19:10.960
<v Speaker 1>you're in slot, you got the whole field, you know.

0:19:10.960 --> 0:19:13.000
<v Speaker 1>And the Nickel knows that too, He's worried about the

0:19:13.000 --> 0:19:16.719
<v Speaker 1>whole field. So I feel that whenever I'm in a slot, man.

0:19:16.760 --> 0:19:18.600
<v Speaker 1>I feel like, you know, you could really use uh

0:19:19.240 --> 0:19:21.399
<v Speaker 1>a lot of those things against him, and that's one

0:19:21.400 --> 0:19:23.200
<v Speaker 1>of the harder positions to play on defense as well,

0:19:23.280 --> 0:19:25.679
<v Speaker 1>you know that nickel positions, so there's so much traffic.

0:19:25.720 --> 0:19:27.520
<v Speaker 1>There's so much traffic, so much to deal with. But

0:19:27.600 --> 0:19:29.479
<v Speaker 1>on offense, you know, I'd like to use all that

0:19:29.520 --> 0:19:31.200
<v Speaker 1>with me, you know, like I could, I could run

0:19:31.280 --> 0:19:33.600
<v Speaker 1>him into that linebacker, you know, if he's running with me.

0:19:33.600 --> 0:19:35.960
<v Speaker 1>That are those type of things and slot slot you

0:19:36.000 --> 0:19:37.200
<v Speaker 1>can play with a lot of field. I like the

0:19:37.200 --> 0:19:38.680
<v Speaker 1>outside though, like you said, I want to be able

0:19:38.720 --> 0:19:42.800
<v Speaker 1>to play play both and do it well. I want

0:19:42.800 --> 0:19:44.280
<v Speaker 1>to be able to play both. Well. Yeah, it was

0:19:44.320 --> 0:19:46.480
<v Speaker 1>like a fifty fifty split. I think if you look

0:19:46.520 --> 0:19:49.760
<v Speaker 1>at the first nine games, how much does it change

0:19:49.760 --> 0:19:52.800
<v Speaker 1>the dynamic whenever you guys get Corey back, because he

0:19:52.880 --> 0:19:55.760
<v Speaker 1>was such a big part of this offense, and can

0:19:55.800 --> 0:19:58.679
<v Speaker 1>you speak to the transition. I guess that you guys

0:19:58.760 --> 0:20:01.800
<v Speaker 1>constantly have to under goal just because of injuries, right

0:20:01.840 --> 0:20:05.879
<v Speaker 1>because if Corey comes back, and obviously this team continues

0:20:06.320 --> 0:20:08.400
<v Speaker 1>to try to find ways to get Elijah the ball

0:20:08.400 --> 0:20:12.600
<v Speaker 1>as well. Yeah, man, CD, Having CD back will be huge,

0:20:12.640 --> 0:20:14.800
<v Speaker 1>because first off, you know, that's the big dog in

0:20:14.800 --> 0:20:17.120
<v Speaker 1>the room, that's that's an event man. And we all

0:20:17.119 --> 0:20:18.800
<v Speaker 1>looked at him, and you know, he didn't want to

0:20:18.800 --> 0:20:20.360
<v Speaker 1>break us out of practice. He don't want that break

0:20:20.400 --> 0:20:21.840
<v Speaker 1>us out before the game. You know, get us, get

0:20:21.880 --> 0:20:25.080
<v Speaker 1>us in the right headspace. And uh, you know, just personally,

0:20:25.119 --> 0:20:27.239
<v Speaker 1>I know, I love him so like having him back,

0:20:27.280 --> 0:20:29.840
<v Speaker 1>I'm gonna just feel better taking the field with with CD. Man.

0:20:29.960 --> 0:20:32.600
<v Speaker 1>You know, it's um something that he brings to the

0:20:32.600 --> 0:20:35.719
<v Speaker 1>field that that not everyone does. It's not it's not

0:20:35.760 --> 0:20:37.879
<v Speaker 1>always the play that the players that get the glory,

0:20:38.200 --> 0:20:41.399
<v Speaker 1>and you know he does it. He does everything so well.

0:20:41.400 --> 0:20:43.119
<v Speaker 1>But but he's also willing to put his body on

0:20:43.119 --> 0:20:45.480
<v Speaker 1>the line for the team and for his teammates, and

0:20:45.480 --> 0:20:47.600
<v Speaker 1>and uh that's a special part for me. Man, seeing

0:20:47.680 --> 0:20:49.800
<v Speaker 1>him go down, you know I was, I was really worried.

0:20:49.840 --> 0:20:51.280
<v Speaker 1>But to know that we're gonna get him back in

0:20:51.359 --> 0:20:53.400
<v Speaker 1>a few weeks here and maybe this week, you didn't

0:20:53.400 --> 0:20:56.240
<v Speaker 1>really excited. So um, yeah, I can't wait to see

0:20:56.240 --> 0:20:58.840
<v Speaker 1>CD out there. You know, do you tell Elijah to

0:20:58.920 --> 0:21:03.040
<v Speaker 1>keep his head off or you being a rookie that hey,

0:21:03.680 --> 0:21:07.000
<v Speaker 1>I know different guys have different situations, and you know

0:21:07.080 --> 0:21:09.960
<v Speaker 1>that he's very valuable, valuable parts to this team. It's

0:21:09.960 --> 0:21:12.560
<v Speaker 1>just a matter of time before he gets going. You know.

0:21:12.600 --> 0:21:15.120
<v Speaker 1>With me and his relationship so good, we we really

0:21:15.119 --> 0:21:19.480
<v Speaker 1>talk about anything everything, so that uh, you know, I

0:21:19.800 --> 0:21:23.480

0:22:06.720 --> 0:22:09.720
<v Speaker 1>the boy's nice and you guys continue to encourage each

0:22:09.720 --> 0:22:13.800
<v Speaker 1>other exactly. Man, it's all loving that room. So uh yeah, man,

0:22:13.840 --> 0:22:17.480
<v Speaker 1>we all just come in each day and and do

0:22:17.680 --> 0:22:19.639
<v Speaker 1>us asked of us. And you know, whether it's a

0:22:19.640 --> 0:22:23.159
<v Speaker 1>lot or a little, um, it's not ill to us.

0:22:23.640 --> 0:22:25.560
<v Speaker 1>You know, we just love each other really, all it

0:22:25.640 --> 0:22:28.040
<v Speaker 1>is receiving room. We just love each other, man, and

0:22:28.040 --> 0:22:29.560
<v Speaker 1>it's special for it to be that way. I'm sure

0:22:29.560 --> 0:22:32.440
<v Speaker 1>it's not that way everywhere. While are you sitting here

0:22:32.520 --> 0:22:34.679
<v Speaker 1>right now? Because he might be able to be in

0:22:34.720 --> 0:22:38.800
<v Speaker 1>an NBA room? You know, he had multiple Division one

0:22:38.840 --> 0:22:42.320
<v Speaker 1>scholarship offers. You were tearing it up on the hardwood

0:22:42.640 --> 0:22:46.600
<v Speaker 1>back in high school. Yeah, you were good. Boy. Was

0:22:46.640 --> 0:22:48.800
<v Speaker 1>that a hard decision for you to go football? It

0:22:48.880 --> 0:22:53.080
<v Speaker 1>wasn't because I was five eleven, six ft type so

0:22:53.760 --> 0:22:57.760
<v Speaker 1>um my pops played. He's six five and just looking

0:22:57.800 --> 0:22:59.960
<v Speaker 1>at it, six ft point guard. If I was six five,

0:23:00.040 --> 0:23:02.000
<v Speaker 1>if I'll still probably be a point guard, you know.

0:23:02.400 --> 0:23:05.439
<v Speaker 1>So like that's well, that's how the league's turning as

0:23:05.480 --> 0:23:09.239
<v Speaker 1>far as the NBA. And it was a business decision. Man.

0:23:09.240 --> 0:23:12.520
<v Speaker 1>I love basketball is my first love. I love football too,

0:23:13.000 --> 0:23:16.359
<v Speaker 1>and yeah it's a business sis And I love playing

0:23:16.480 --> 0:23:20.080
<v Speaker 1>and you know I was six ft. You got like

0:23:20.119 --> 0:23:22.520
<v Speaker 1>Ben Simmons, gonna gonna match up with me on Yeah,

0:23:22.520 --> 0:23:24.000
<v Speaker 1>but you can get to the rim, I can get

0:23:24.000 --> 0:23:26.480
<v Speaker 1>to the room expressive. There's just gonna be a whole

0:23:26.520 --> 0:23:30.040
<v Speaker 1>lot harder to get the ball off. I started to

0:23:30.040 --> 0:23:32.240
<v Speaker 1>realize that when the au and I really I was

0:23:32.240 --> 0:23:33.960
<v Speaker 1>really good, I'm not. I was really good at basketball.

0:23:33.960 --> 0:23:35.400
<v Speaker 1>I was able to finish. I was a great finisher,

0:23:35.760 --> 0:23:39.959
<v Speaker 1>um that finishing around people. But man, it's just they

0:23:40.080 --> 0:23:43.080
<v Speaker 1>seven ft seven to all of a sudden, these dudes

0:23:43.119 --> 0:23:50.160
<v Speaker 1>seven six. Now it's just leagues turning and and yeah,

0:23:50.240 --> 0:23:51.600
<v Speaker 1>it was a business saison. That's the best way I

0:23:51.600 --> 0:23:53.600
<v Speaker 1>could put it, you know, going to college to play basketball,

0:23:53.640 --> 0:23:55.440
<v Speaker 1>I had to play football. It was a business decision.

0:23:55.440 --> 0:23:58.600
<v Speaker 1>I wanted to to give myself the best opportunity to

0:23:58.760 --> 0:24:01.600
<v Speaker 1>make this a long term, long term success for me.

0:24:01.920 --> 0:24:05.160
<v Speaker 1>Do you watch some of your dad's old highlights from Dad,

0:24:06.080 --> 0:24:07.720
<v Speaker 1>I've seen I've seen a few clips just back in

0:24:07.760 --> 0:24:11.240
<v Speaker 1>the eighties, early eighties. I've seen a few clips. Um,

0:24:11.280 --> 0:24:13.720
<v Speaker 1>I never pulled up a whole game and nothing like that.

0:24:14.440 --> 0:24:16.719
<v Speaker 1>I should, but yeah, I've seen a clip when they

0:24:16.760 --> 0:24:20.040
<v Speaker 1>beat Duke with coach k I think they'd beat Notre

0:24:20.119 --> 0:24:22.399
<v Speaker 1>Dame Bobby Knight. He was like seventh all time and

0:24:22.480 --> 0:24:26.760
<v Speaker 1>scoring David's all time at Davison. Yeah he is. Um.

0:24:26.880 --> 0:24:29.240
<v Speaker 1>Do you play with him like yeah, oh yeah. We

0:24:29.240 --> 0:24:31.040
<v Speaker 1>we all played going up. That's how we got good.

0:24:31.080 --> 0:24:33.160
<v Speaker 1>It's trying to beat our pops. And he played until

0:24:33.160 --> 0:24:37.200
<v Speaker 1>he was about he did so he played different leagues,

0:24:37.280 --> 0:24:39.520
<v Speaker 1>different rec leagues. What kind of lessons did he give you?

0:24:39.800 --> 0:24:43.080
<v Speaker 1>Wayingell me lessons man that you ain't gonna get nothing

0:24:43.119 --> 0:24:44.800
<v Speaker 1>to you, like you ain't gonna let you, just let

0:24:44.840 --> 0:24:47.480
<v Speaker 1>you win. Um, And no one beat him. I was

0:24:47.480 --> 0:24:48.720
<v Speaker 1>the first brother to beat him, and I was in

0:24:48.760 --> 0:24:50.640
<v Speaker 1>eighth grade when I beat him. He was just getting

0:24:50.680 --> 0:24:53.280
<v Speaker 1>a little older. Couldn't guard me, that's all the way.

0:24:53.320 --> 0:24:55.439
<v Speaker 1>He just couldn't guard me. But if I played him

0:24:55.440 --> 0:24:57.280
<v Speaker 1>on horse or anything like that, I still lose. You know,

0:24:57.440 --> 0:25:00.679
<v Speaker 1>what do you give you the outside shot? How do

0:25:00.720 --> 0:25:02.440
<v Speaker 1>you try to defend you? I mean he was trying

0:25:02.440 --> 0:25:04.359
<v Speaker 1>to guard me for really, just trying to guard me,

0:25:04.560 --> 0:25:07.480
<v Speaker 1>do all of it. And I'm I'm blowing by him,

0:25:07.520 --> 0:25:09.639
<v Speaker 1>you know, but and I knew what he couldn't. What

0:25:09.680 --> 0:25:11.639
<v Speaker 1>do you what his strength were and stuff like everybody

0:25:11.680 --> 0:25:13.040
<v Speaker 1>wouldn't be able to do, so I was just using

0:25:13.040 --> 0:25:16.560
<v Speaker 1>my speed. Um. But yeah, man, so many great lessons

0:25:16.560 --> 0:25:19.440
<v Speaker 1>growing up with three brothers and the older dad. That's

0:25:19.440 --> 0:25:21.719
<v Speaker 1>still competitive man. I mean we were talking trash with

0:25:21.840 --> 0:25:25.359
<v Speaker 1>Pops and I was probably too young to be saying

0:25:25.400 --> 0:25:27.520
<v Speaker 1>some of the things I said. He was going at

0:25:27.520 --> 0:25:29.679
<v Speaker 1>it man, you know. And uh, since I was a

0:25:29.680 --> 0:25:31.840
<v Speaker 1>young kid, I watched my older brothers compete with with

0:25:31.920 --> 0:25:34.639
<v Speaker 1>my pops. And they all seven years, eight years, nine

0:25:34.720 --> 0:25:37.400
<v Speaker 1>years older than me. So I wanted to be involved,

0:25:37.400 --> 0:25:39.720
<v Speaker 1>you know, I wanted I was watching and I feel

0:25:39.720 --> 0:25:41.439
<v Speaker 1>like I was left out because they would say I'm

0:25:41.480 --> 0:25:43.080
<v Speaker 1>not old enough and stuff like that. So you know,

0:25:43.080 --> 0:25:45.479
<v Speaker 1>I kind of was able to get into it earlier.

0:25:45.480 --> 0:25:47.359
<v Speaker 1>They kind of let me in early. But we had

0:25:47.400 --> 0:25:49.480
<v Speaker 1>a lot of great lessons. Who was your favorite player

0:25:50.040 --> 0:25:56.600
<v Speaker 1>NBA player? Um? Probably Carmelo when I was growing Up's

0:25:56.640 --> 0:26:01.680
<v Speaker 1>your dog's name? Yeah? I love Carmelo. I love Karmelo. Um.

0:26:01.760 --> 0:26:05.040
<v Speaker 1>That ain't right though, but you in such a different game. Yeah, No,

0:26:05.119 --> 0:26:06.919
<v Speaker 1>I didn't play. I wouldn't. I wasn't saying I wouldn't

0:26:06.920 --> 0:26:08.400
<v Speaker 1>say I was trying to play with him. Like growing up,

0:26:08.440 --> 0:26:11.639
<v Speaker 1>like high school favorite player was like Derrick Rose because

0:26:11.640 --> 0:26:15.240
<v Speaker 1>he was at Semeon we lived in Illinois and um

0:26:15.240 --> 0:26:17.200
<v Speaker 1>we was living in Chicago and he was at Semion

0:26:17.359 --> 0:26:20.040
<v Speaker 1>and he was just the man, like he was one

0:26:20.080 --> 0:26:23.080
<v Speaker 1>player in the country, like he was crazy. And uh

0:26:23.840 --> 0:26:26.160
<v Speaker 1>one of our friends that like Brandon Paul who play

0:26:26.200 --> 0:26:28.560
<v Speaker 1>against and played at Illinois, really good player in Illinois.

0:26:28.840 --> 0:26:30.240
<v Speaker 1>They would like go at it a little bit and

0:26:30.240 --> 0:26:33.040
<v Speaker 1>we would always watch And I love Derek bro I

0:26:33.119 --> 0:26:35.320
<v Speaker 1>love him growing up. I still do. Man happy on

0:26:35.359 --> 0:26:40.840
<v Speaker 1>the Knicks. Now, Hey, U t when you were at

0:26:40.920 --> 0:26:44.520
<v Speaker 1>Lake Travis. Yeah, we're a lot of people hounding you

0:26:44.640 --> 0:26:47.600
<v Speaker 1>or they understood, Hey listen, he's got roots back there

0:26:47.640 --> 0:26:50.800
<v Speaker 1>and see bus so he probably gonna go to hisle state.

0:26:51.240 --> 0:26:53.240
<v Speaker 1>Uh yeah, I mean they were hiding me a little bit,

0:26:54.080 --> 0:26:56.000
<v Speaker 1>just just because that's how it is in Texas. Man.

0:26:56.040 --> 0:27:00.639
<v Speaker 1>Everyone thinks that Texas is and all the all, and

0:27:00.720 --> 0:27:03.840
<v Speaker 1>for me, it wasn't that. And uh, you know, I

0:27:03.880 --> 0:27:07.119
<v Speaker 1>got a lot of love for for Austin, but it

0:27:07.240 --> 0:27:08.960
<v Speaker 1>just wasn't right for me to go to Texas at

0:27:09.040 --> 0:27:12.240
<v Speaker 1>least at that moment. And uh, my dad and mom

0:27:12.280 --> 0:27:15.360
<v Speaker 1>had a big you know, big influence on my decision,

0:27:15.640 --> 0:27:17.680
<v Speaker 1>and they helped me out. You know, they were great

0:27:17.720 --> 0:27:20.720
<v Speaker 1>at reading people, and uh, we love coach the Day man.

0:27:20.840 --> 0:27:23.400
<v Speaker 1>So that was really what it came down. How much

0:27:23.440 --> 0:27:27.639
<v Speaker 1>did Day help you as far as not only what

0:27:27.720 --> 0:27:30.359
<v Speaker 1>you did in college, but what you're doing now every

0:27:30.440 --> 0:27:33.159
<v Speaker 1>day at the pro level. Yeah, I mean he he

0:27:33.920 --> 0:27:36.399
<v Speaker 1>had been around these pro ranks and and knew how

0:27:36.480 --> 0:27:39.480
<v Speaker 1>practice should look and knew how you know, our individual

0:27:39.600 --> 0:27:41.560
<v Speaker 1>drives should look. Along with coach hard Line, you know,

0:27:41.600 --> 0:27:47.399
<v Speaker 1>they both build a schedule and built a practice and

0:27:47.720 --> 0:27:51.600
<v Speaker 1>environment for us as receivers and young players that get

0:27:51.640 --> 0:27:53.720
<v Speaker 1>you ready for this. Uh this steps to the next level.

0:27:53.840 --> 0:27:55.159
<v Speaker 1>And I feel like you see it all over the

0:27:55.200 --> 0:27:58.280
<v Speaker 1>league with with Buck oys being good players at the

0:27:58.320 --> 0:28:02.280
<v Speaker 1>next level. And yeah, I'm really thankful for that. Man.

0:28:02.320 --> 0:28:05.440
<v Speaker 1>I feel like it's honestly started started back with Urban

0:28:05.480 --> 0:28:09.679
<v Speaker 1>there and uh and and and they had they had

0:28:09.720 --> 0:28:11.919
<v Speaker 1>something built there to where players knew how to practice.

0:28:11.960 --> 0:28:15.119
<v Speaker 1>The brotherhood was real and and it wasn't no taking

0:28:15.160 --> 0:28:18.880
<v Speaker 1>the playoffs. It was iron on iron versus iron every practice,

0:28:18.960 --> 0:28:21.840
<v Speaker 1>you know, and uh, you know it wasn't going against

0:28:21.840 --> 0:28:25.160
<v Speaker 1>Scott's that practiced life now we're going and I still

0:28:25.200 --> 0:28:26.640
<v Speaker 1>carry a lot of that with me, you know, run

0:28:26.640 --> 0:28:30.040
<v Speaker 1>on the field. You know, it's just different different. It's

0:28:30.080 --> 0:28:32.840
<v Speaker 1>different because I see people from other schools as well,

0:28:32.880 --> 0:28:35.920
<v Speaker 1>and it's just different the way they went about business there.

0:28:35.960 --> 0:28:38.000
<v Speaker 1>And uh, I'm thankful for it. Man. I feel like

0:28:38.040 --> 0:28:42.240
<v Speaker 1>it's it's uh responsible for you know who I am

0:28:42.360 --> 0:28:45.920

0:29:08.200 --> 0:29:10.280
<v Speaker 1>in there that that's bringing something to the table, bringing

0:29:10.280 --> 0:29:14.320
<v Speaker 1>something different to uh to this team. And and you know,

0:29:14.400 --> 0:29:16.840
<v Speaker 1>we all we all know we're rookies, but we wanted

0:29:16.880 --> 0:29:21.080
<v Speaker 1>to have an impact and and be people in the

0:29:21.160 --> 0:29:24.160
<v Speaker 1>in the facility that people counted on and relied on. Uh.

0:29:24.240 --> 0:29:26.000
<v Speaker 1>I feel like we're doing a good job with that, man.

0:29:26.040 --> 0:29:29.040
<v Speaker 1>So so it's just getting better every day now. That's

0:29:29.160 --> 0:29:31.360
<v Speaker 1>that's the goal. And that's always been a goal, but

0:29:31.440 --> 0:29:33.320
<v Speaker 1>we got to just continue on. It's about being consistent

0:29:33.360 --> 0:29:35.200
<v Speaker 1>and how often can you do it? And and we're

0:29:35.240 --> 0:29:37.680
<v Speaker 1>trying to, uh, you know, build that as young players

0:29:37.680 --> 0:29:40.440
<v Speaker 1>and and I feel like, you know, the facility is noticing.

0:29:41.040 --> 0:29:43.400
<v Speaker 1>What do you think about? What's the head if you

0:29:43.480 --> 0:29:47.800

0:29:48.280 --> 0:29:51.240
<v Speaker 1>this organization hasn't made the playoffs. That's two thousand time.

0:29:51.800 --> 0:29:54.720
<v Speaker 1>But sitting there right in front of you right now,

0:29:55.680 --> 0:29:59.360

0:29:59.520 --> 0:30:01.680
<v Speaker 1>ahead of your yourselves because it's the Patriots first, but

0:30:01.760 --> 0:30:05.719

0:30:05.840 --> 0:30:07.800
