Because 62 00:02:14,160 --> 00:02:15,640 Speaker 2: he was watching my fiet from last year, I kind 63 00:02:15,680 --> 00:02:18,440 Speaker 2: of predetermining things, but what my shoulders wouldn't be square, 64 00:02:18,480 --> 00:02:20,440 Speaker 2: So linebackers are kind of getting a beat on where 65 00:02:20,480 --> 00:02:22,280 Speaker 2: I'm going. So this year is more focus. I just 66 00:02:22,760 --> 00:02:24,560 Speaker 2: keeping my shoulder square that we don't giving myself a 67 00:02:24,560 --> 00:02:26,799 Speaker 2: three wad go at all times. Enable he's not able 68 00:02:26,840 --> 00:02:29,200 Speaker 2: to determine anything, I'm able to play with him and 69 00:02:29,760 --> 00:02:30,720 Speaker 2: take the yards as there. 70 00:02:32,000 --> 00:02:33,679 Speaker 1: Running Backs have kind of been in the news a 71 00:02:33,720 --> 00:02:36,800 Speaker 1: lot lately with Ta KWin and Josh Jacobs and all 72 00:02:36,840 --> 00:02:39,160 Speaker 1: of their contract situations. Could you just talk a little 73 00:02:39,200 --> 00:02:41,600 Speaker 1: bit about your opinion on it, being that you're getting 74 00:02:41,639 --> 00:02:42,320 Speaker 1: close to that time. 75 00:02:43,240 --> 00:02:44,960 Speaker 3: Uh, I feel like, uh, I really don't have a 76 00:02:44,960 --> 00:02:45,320 Speaker 3: word in that. 77 00:02:45,400 --> 00:02:48,320 Speaker 2: Honestly, I feel like the market is what the market is, 78 00:02:48,400 --> 00:02:50,959 Speaker 2: and uh, for me to go out there and get 79 00:02:51,000 --> 00:02:52,840 Speaker 2: the best deal for myself, I have to come out 80 00:02:52,840 --> 00:02:54,440 Speaker 2: here and work hard each and every day. If I 81 00:02:54,440 --> 00:02:57,160 Speaker 2: don't produce or be productive, I'm not gonna even be 82 00:02:57,240 --> 00:02:59,720 Speaker 2: in that conversation or they may be looking to pay me. 83 00:02:59,800 --> 00:03:01,560 Speaker 2: So best thing I could do it just keep my 84 00:03:01,560 --> 00:03:03,200 Speaker 2: head down and keep working and win games from my 85 00:03:03,240 --> 00:03:05,400 Speaker 2: football team, do you feel. 86 00:03:05,160 --> 00:03:07,880 Speaker 4: Like it could be an uphill battle for running back 87 00:03:07,919 --> 00:03:10,840 Speaker 4: specifically just because it seems like you know they'll give 88 00:03:10,880 --> 00:03:13,560 Speaker 4: you three hundred carries one season, three hundred carries the next, 89 00:03:13,880 --> 00:03:15,679 Speaker 4: or drop your replacement. So do you think it could 90 00:03:15,680 --> 00:03:18,520 Speaker 4: be like an uphill battle sometimes just in that position group? 91 00:03:19,520 --> 00:03:21,280 Speaker 2: Definitely, But I feel like it also depends on the 92 00:03:21,280 --> 00:03:23,200 Speaker 2: type of back you are, because you doe to see 93 00:03:23,240 --> 00:03:25,799 Speaker 2: some bads to get paid. Like Christian McCaffrey, for instance, 94 00:03:25,840 --> 00:03:27,960 Speaker 2: he kisses the ball out the backfield. So I feel 95 00:03:27,960 --> 00:03:30,960 Speaker 2: like for running back, before you have to versify the game, 96 00:03:31,000 --> 00:03:33,000 Speaker 2: you have to just be more than just a downhill 97 00:03:33,040 --> 00:03:35,560 Speaker 2: bruiser in order to be able to build that level, 98 00:03:35,560 --> 00:03:37,640 Speaker 2: in order to talk that leverage whenever you're going to 99 00:03:37,680 --> 00:03:41,000 Speaker 2: the conversations, because like you said, like you three hundred 100 00:03:41,000 --> 00:03:44,320 Speaker 2: carries and ten rushing yards, you see what the market 101 00:03:44,360 --> 00:03:46,560 Speaker 2: is for the guys like that. So for us as 102 00:03:46,680 --> 00:03:49,160 Speaker 2: we have to continue to grow and involve our game 103 00:03:49,680 --> 00:03:51,360 Speaker 2: because you see the way that football's going, you see 104 00:03:51,600 --> 00:03:53,880 Speaker 2: as a passing lead now, and we just have to 105 00:03:53,880 --> 00:03:55,080 Speaker 2: evolves as a whole. 106 00:03:57,560 --> 00:03:59,320 Speaker 4: I think that was a big emphasis, right, I'm going 107 00:03:59,400 --> 00:04:02,240 Speaker 4: to keep this off what has to happen to start fappening? 108 00:04:02,720 --> 00:04:02,840 Speaker 3: Uh? 109 00:04:03,000 --> 00:04:05,920 Speaker 2: Just uh, I mean, I feel like we're going to 110 00:04:05,960 --> 00:04:08,640 Speaker 2: start faster because like last year was our first year 111 00:04:08,640 --> 00:04:10,960 Speaker 2: in this offense, so everyone was really learning. 112 00:04:11,160 --> 00:04:12,520 Speaker 3: We were learning the weekend and week out. 113 00:04:12,720 --> 00:04:15,040 Speaker 2: Two right now, we already have that foundation, we know 114 00:04:15,040 --> 00:04:17,320 Speaker 2: who we can be, and we also added Calvin really, 115 00:04:17,440 --> 00:04:21,599 Speaker 2: so I feel like that's just an automatic reason people 116 00:04:21,640 --> 00:04:25,080 Speaker 2: gonna start faster, Like you can't help but. 117 00:04:25,080 --> 00:04:27,360 Speaker 3: Start fast with guys like them on the outside. 118 00:04:27,400 --> 00:04:29,320 Speaker 2: So I'm very excited for this year and see where 119 00:04:29,320 --> 00:04:30,560 Speaker 2: we're going to go. 120 00:04:31,400 --> 00:04:34,160 Speaker 1: Those expectations all it seemed like every other week in 121 00:04:34,240 --> 00:04:36,800 Speaker 1: the off season, you guys were brought up about how 122 00:04:36,800 --> 00:04:39,280 Speaker 1: you guys would do and obviously, after the success of 123 00:04:39,400 --> 00:04:40,760 Speaker 1: last year, how you guys would do this year. 124 00:04:41,560 --> 00:04:44,040 Speaker 3: I mean, you can't worry about what everyone else is saying. 125 00:04:44,560 --> 00:04:46,360 Speaker 2: I feel like when everyone gets to talking and you 126 00:04:46,400 --> 00:04:48,440 Speaker 2: just have to gel in on each other because, uh, 127 00:04:48,440 --> 00:04:50,360 Speaker 2: at this same time last year, no one believed in us, 128 00:04:50,680 --> 00:04:52,800 Speaker 2: and now we have to gelling as a team, and uh, 129 00:04:53,080 --> 00:04:54,880 Speaker 2: just focused on each other, focus on our game, and 130 00:04:55,040 --> 00:04:57,760 Speaker 2: uh we're just gonna come together, come closer, and work 131 00:04:57,760 --> 00:05:00,440 Speaker 2: on ourselves and just block out the outside noise what's 132 00:05:00,480 --> 00:05:02,200 Speaker 2: good or bad, because at the end of the day, 133 00:05:02,240 --> 00:05:04,480 Speaker 2: you can't get too high or too low. I remember 134 00:05:04,560 --> 00:05:06,679 Speaker 2: I was just reading something. It was like you dropped 135 00:05:06,680 --> 00:05:08,680 Speaker 2: the game when it passed, like you see where all 136 00:05:08,720 --> 00:05:11,119 Speaker 2: the fans go then.
