We were 3 00:00:05,840 --> 00:00:08,319 Speaker 1: talking to Gerard earlier today and he just said that 4 00:00:08,400 --> 00:00:11,920 Speaker 1: you look like a more athletic player this year, faster 5 00:00:12,200 --> 00:00:15,720 Speaker 1: out there, and what do you credit that too? And 6 00:00:16,040 --> 00:00:18,560 Speaker 1: he mentioned in particular that you hit the off season 7 00:00:18,640 --> 00:00:21,160 Speaker 1: pretty hard, and I was just wondering if you changed 8 00:00:21,200 --> 00:00:24,600 Speaker 1: anything about your regiment or anything like that. Man, I've 9 00:00:24,640 --> 00:00:29,200 Speaker 1: just been working, just been working one day at a time. Yeah, 10 00:00:29,200 --> 00:00:31,560 Speaker 1: I pushed into every day with the same intensity, So 11 00:00:31,720 --> 00:00:34,720 Speaker 1: I only I go only credit that to work. Do 12 00:00:34,760 --> 00:00:37,720 Speaker 1: you feel like you're seeing things faster this year than 13 00:00:37,760 --> 00:00:40,320 Speaker 1: you have in the past in terms of run blocking 14 00:00:40,360 --> 00:00:43,760 Speaker 1: schemes and stuff like that. For sure, that's definitely that's 15 00:00:43,760 --> 00:00:46,680 Speaker 1: part of the work. So it's along with the athletic 16 00:00:46,760 --> 00:00:50,360 Speaker 1: side of things, and as far as speed, also seeing 17 00:00:50,680 --> 00:00:52,400 Speaker 1: seeing things a little bit faster, that's part of the 18 00:00:52,440 --> 00:00:55,520 Speaker 1: work process. So I just group all those things together. 19 00:00:56,120 --> 00:00:59,840 Speaker 1: Has anything in particular or anyone in particular teammate Toad 20 00:01:00,280 --> 00:01:04,040 Speaker 1: helped you with kind of figuring out those blocking schemes 21 00:01:04,040 --> 00:01:07,319 Speaker 1: and stuff like that. Yeah, for sure, a lot of 22 00:01:07,319 --> 00:01:09,640 Speaker 1: people have been hand in the pot. Uh, you gotta 23 00:01:09,640 --> 00:01:14,360 Speaker 1: take business pieces from everybody. Um. Other than that, I 24 00:01:14,400 --> 00:01:16,720 Speaker 1: would say just kind of training your mind and just 25 00:01:16,959 --> 00:01:20,920 Speaker 1: getting used to seeing different things. Um, yeah, that's part 26 00:01:20,959 --> 00:01:26,680 Speaker 1: of work. Thanks John. Yeah. My next question Jim Bryan 27 00:01:26,880 --> 00:01:28,319 Speaker 1: asking to be able to raise a hand if you 28 00:01:28,319 --> 00:01:31,280 Speaker 1: have a question for joy if you one.

A lot of guys 30 00:01:34,560 --> 00:01:36,840 Speaker 1: in the room have talked about Dante high Tower and 31 00:01:36,880 --> 00:01:40,440 Speaker 1: his ability to break down plays quickly. Um, is that 32 00:01:40,640 --> 00:01:43,800 Speaker 1: is that something that you've learned from Dante along the way? 33 00:01:44,480 --> 00:01:47,880 Speaker 1: For sure? Dante has definitely been a piece of that puzzle. 34 00:01:47,920 --> 00:01:51,760 Speaker 1: For sure, just watching all the guys played, how they thought, 35 00:01:51,800 --> 00:01:54,920 Speaker 1: the thought process, and how they break down plays. Um, 36 00:01:55,120 --> 00:01:56,880 Speaker 1: it's always pole. I learned from him and a lot 37 00:01:56,920 --> 00:01:59,640 Speaker 1: of other guys on our team also, So I definitely 38 00:01:59,640 --> 00:02:03,600 Speaker 1: take the yeah.
