1 00:00:03,279 --> 00:00:13,480 Speaker 1: Yeah, it was great to have the fans here today. 2 00:00:13,560 --> 00:00:15,680 Speaker 1: You know, I'm missed out on them with my first 3 00:00:15,760 --> 00:00:18,919 Speaker 1: year being here, we had the whole of COVID and 4 00:00:19,040 --> 00:00:21,040 Speaker 1: everything like that, so they weren't able to come. But 5 00:00:21,239 --> 00:00:23,799 Speaker 1: just seeing the fans here now and just with the 6 00:00:23,800 --> 00:00:26,400 Speaker 1: little capacity that we had, it was it was great 7 00:00:26,400 --> 00:00:28,200 Speaker 1: to see. I know, when it gets sold out, it's 8 00:00:28,240 --> 00:00:41,560 Speaker 1: gonna be rocking. Yeah. Yeah, Yeah, it was definitely different 9 00:00:41,560 --> 00:00:43,200 Speaker 1: because you know, you have your fans at the training 10 00:00:43,240 --> 00:00:45,599 Speaker 1: camp practice, but they're kind of far off right here, 11 00:00:45,600 --> 00:00:47,839 Speaker 1: it feels like they're right on you. And like with 12 00:00:48,000 --> 00:00:50,680 Speaker 1: us being in a semion closed area, like all the 13 00:00:50,720 --> 00:00:53,440 Speaker 1: noises goes down to the field. So it was great 14 00:00:53,479 --> 00:01:12,319 Speaker 1: to hear that. Yeah, finally I wanted the good guys system. Yeah. 15 00:01:12,319 --> 00:01:13,920 Speaker 1: I think the main thing is just being in the 16 00:01:13,959 --> 00:01:16,319 Speaker 1: system a year longer. Last year, I was kind of 17 00:01:16,360 --> 00:01:19,920 Speaker 1: a I wouldn't say training wheels programs, but I was 18 00:01:19,959 --> 00:01:24,520 Speaker 1: still trying to learn everything. Probably like halfway during the season, Oh, 19 00:01:24,560 --> 00:01:26,600 Speaker 1: I was still trying to learn everything. So now with 20 00:01:26,680 --> 00:01:29,959 Speaker 1: it being a new year, I'm a lot more comfortable. 21 00:01:30,040 --> 00:01:31,880 Speaker 1: The calls are coming a lot more quicker, a lot 22 00:01:31,920 --> 00:01:42,480 Speaker 1: more easier, and it's just I feel comfortable. It's great. Uh, 23 00:01:43,520 --> 00:01:46,200 Speaker 1: not really, because being in the league is just being 24 00:01:46,200 --> 00:01:48,040 Speaker 1: in the league. It doesn't matter what team that you're on. 25 00:01:48,440 --> 00:01:50,080 Speaker 1: When I was a rookie, I was still trying to 26 00:01:50,120 --> 00:01:54,080 Speaker 1: make my stamp. But now you know, I believe I'm certified, 27 00:01:54,160 --> 00:01:56,920 Speaker 1: and now it's just football. It's a different scheme, but 28 00:01:56,960 --> 00:02:05,320 Speaker 1: it's just football mainly. Uh. It was more of a 29 00:02:05,360 --> 00:02:07,360 Speaker 1: slower tempo. So we just wanted to make sure that 30 00:02:07,400 --> 00:02:09,840 Speaker 1: we got all the checks checks right. We went through 31 00:02:09,840 --> 00:02:12,400 Speaker 1: all the special team situations and stuff like that. We 32 00:02:12,520 --> 00:02:15,360 Speaker 1: had a period with the with the crowd noise. We 33 00:02:15,440 --> 00:02:18,480 Speaker 1: had the music playing to emphasize the crowd getting loud 34 00:02:18,480 --> 00:02:21,760 Speaker 1: and us being able to communicate in those hard situations 35 00:02:21,760 --> 00:02:24,639 Speaker 1: like that. So it wasn't as it wasn't as tough physically, 36 00:02:24,840 --> 00:02:27,240 Speaker 1: but he wanted to stress us mentally and just make 37 00:02:27,280 --> 00:02:35,679 Speaker 1: sure that we were on the same page with everybody. Hey, hey, 38 00:02:35,720 --> 00:02:37,480 Speaker 1: he got a leg on him. He got a leg 39 00:02:37,520 --> 00:02:39,080 Speaker 1: on him. But we've been seeing that and he's been 40 00:02:39,120 --> 00:02:48,120 Speaker 1: working harder, he's been grinding yet. I mean, there's some 41 00:02:48,160 --> 00:02:49,760 Speaker 1: of the best tight ends in the league. You can't 42 00:02:49,760 --> 00:02:52,040 Speaker 1: ask for better work than that. You know, especially with 43 00:02:52,280 --> 00:02:55,000 Speaker 1: the way the tight end position is going now around 44 00:02:55,040 --> 00:02:58,600 Speaker 1: the league, with the speed and versatility and being able 45 00:02:58,639 --> 00:03:00,400 Speaker 1: to block and being able to get to the top 46 00:03:00,400 --> 00:03:02,799 Speaker 1: of the route and give you those shakes. I mean, 47 00:03:02,840 --> 00:03:05,079 Speaker 1: we got two of the best here right now. So 48 00:03:05,320 --> 00:03:08,200 Speaker 1: getting that practice every day just builds the confidence more 49 00:03:08,200 --> 00:03:21,120 Speaker 1: and more in our man coverage everything. Yeah, you kind 50 00:03:21,120 --> 00:03:23,239 Speaker 1: of got the answers to the test just a little bit, 51 00:03:23,400 --> 00:03:25,680 Speaker 1: but they still throw a little wrinkle in there. They 52 00:03:25,720 --> 00:03:27,400 Speaker 1: throw a couple of wrinkles in there today because they 53 00:03:27,440 --> 00:03:29,520 Speaker 1: don't want to make it too easy for you. They 54 00:03:29,520 --> 00:03:32,240 Speaker 1: want to just make sure like it's game like that. 55 00:03:32,320 --> 00:03:34,280 Speaker 1: It has to be a game like because there there's 56 00:03:34,280 --> 00:03:36,280 Speaker 1: gonna be something that happens in the game, whether it's 57 00:03:36,280 --> 00:03:40,960 Speaker 1: a turnover or whether it's a flag or something like that, 58 00:03:41,080 --> 00:03:43,360 Speaker 1: or they they get the wrong personnel. They want us 59 00:03:43,440 --> 00:03:45,839 Speaker 1: to be able to work through those situations. And that's 60 00:03:45,840 --> 00:03:57,520 Speaker 1: what it was to not Yeah, you can't really imitate that, Nah, 61 00:03:57,640 --> 00:04:00,160 Speaker 1: you can't really duplicate it. And just being here and 62 00:04:00,240 --> 00:04:03,120 Speaker 1: I know, like once this thing feels up, because I've 63 00:04:03,160 --> 00:04:05,160 Speaker 1: been on the other side of it, I know it's 64 00:04:05,160 --> 00:04:07,760 Speaker 1: gonna be electric. And now since now since on one 65 00:04:07,800 --> 00:04:09,480 Speaker 1: of the good guys. Now, I can't wait to hear 66 00:04:09,480 --> 00:04:24,200 Speaker 1: it on defense. Yeah, you know, I ain't really gonna 67 00:04:24,200 --> 00:04:25,800 Speaker 1: speak on that. I'm just trying to do the best 68 00:04:25,839 --> 00:04:29,280 Speaker 1: I can. I ain't gonna speak on that now. It's 69 00:04:29,320 --> 00:04:32,200 Speaker 1: definitely a great battle though. It's a great battle. Thank 70 00:04:32,240 --> 00:04:43,320 Speaker 1: you specifically, you know you're I mean, we just picked 71 00:04:43,360 --> 00:04:45,200 Speaker 1: up where we left off. You know, we were battling 72 00:04:45,279 --> 00:04:47,839 Speaker 1: at the charges and then I leave, and you know, 73 00:04:47,920 --> 00:04:51,039 Speaker 1: he progressively gets better and he comes here and it's 74 00:04:51,080 --> 00:04:54,080 Speaker 1: like he has a whole new repertoire to his to 75 00:04:54,200 --> 00:04:57,200 Speaker 1: his weapons, and it's just like we like to talk 76 00:04:57,279 --> 00:04:59,680 Speaker 1: mess to each other every day. So like if if 77 00:04:59,720 --> 00:05:02,320 Speaker 1: he get it's me, he's talking mass. If I get him, 78 00:05:02,320 --> 00:05:04,240 Speaker 1: I'm talking mask And it's just like a battle and 79 00:05:04,279 --> 00:05:06,840 Speaker 1: we're both competitive and we both want to win. So 80 00:05:06,880 --> 00:05:29,440 Speaker 1: it's just fun to go against him. Yeah. Yeah, I 81 00:05:29,440 --> 00:05:32,760 Speaker 1: mean he's working hard and you know, uh, each day 82 00:05:32,920 --> 00:05:34,760 Speaker 1: you just want to see people getting more comfortable, and 83 00:05:34,800 --> 00:05:37,840 Speaker 1: that's what he's doing. And I can't speak specifically on 84 00:05:37,880 --> 00:05:39,880 Speaker 1: what's going on just because I don't know what they're 85 00:05:39,920 --> 00:05:43,279 Speaker 1: doing on that side, but I mean he's a he's 86 00:05:43,279 --> 00:05:45,320 Speaker 1: a great guy, and he's just working hard every day 87 00:05:45,360 --> 00:05:47,400 Speaker 1: and yeah, you know, I like to see him throw 88 00:05:47,440 --> 00:05:48,520 Speaker 1: it around.
