1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:03,840
Speaker 1: Stape fun Mia. John Ross told us that last game

2
00:00:04,040 --> 00:00:06,400
Speaker 1: when he was in the game, the Saints dbs were

3
00:00:06,440 --> 00:00:09,320
Speaker 1: actually like moved back, moved back because he's so fast.

4
00:00:09,840 --> 00:00:14,120
Speaker 1: I'm wondering how having fast receivers like Ross and Kadarius

5
00:00:14,160 --> 00:00:16,880
Speaker 1: Tony helps you. Have you noticed there's less guys in

6
00:00:16,920 --> 00:00:19,079
Speaker 1: the box? Did they give you more space when you

7
00:00:19,280 --> 00:00:22,319
Speaker 1: when the teams have to respect the deep ball more? Um? Yeah,

8
00:00:22,320 --> 00:00:23,880
Speaker 1: I mean it just helps the offense as a whole.

9
00:00:23,960 --> 00:00:26,840
Speaker 1: When you got playmakers out there. Um. Then that that

10
00:00:26,920 --> 00:00:31,160
Speaker 1: goes from John to KT to KG two slave Ship

11
00:00:31,240 --> 00:00:34,120
Speaker 1: when they're healthy, Uh, to Evans, Kyle, all those guys.

12
00:00:34,120 --> 00:00:36,120
Speaker 1: You know, we're showing that we can make plays in

13
00:00:36,120 --> 00:00:38,639
Speaker 1: the past game and overall that's gonna help the run game.

14
00:00:38,760 --> 00:00:40,800
Speaker 1: And we's gonna keep sticking to it, keep working on it,

15
00:00:40,920 --> 00:00:43,199
Speaker 1: and every we gets on improving me better. Had you

16
00:00:43,280 --> 00:00:46,279
Speaker 1: noticed that teams were stacking the box a little bit

17
00:00:46,280 --> 00:00:48,440
Speaker 1: more before you guys were able to hit some big

18
00:00:48,479 --> 00:00:52,280
Speaker 1: plays last week? Um? I mean you could see how

19
00:00:52,800 --> 00:00:57,520
Speaker 1: UH defenses will attack the run game, especially on rpo. UM.

20
00:00:57,560 --> 00:00:59,320
Speaker 1: But that's what football is for. You know. You gotta

21
00:00:59,360 --> 00:01:02,560
Speaker 1: be a um you know a team that can do

22
00:01:02,640 --> 00:01:03,920
Speaker 1: it all, and we gotta be able to run the

23
00:01:03,920 --> 00:01:05,640
Speaker 1: ball in pass games. It's could be some games where

24
00:01:05,920 --> 00:01:07,760
Speaker 1: the running game take over and win a game like that.

25
00:01:07,800 --> 00:01:09,280
Speaker 1: It's gonna been in some games with a pass game

26
00:01:09,360 --> 00:01:11,480
Speaker 1: takes over. And uh, we've got to continue to help

27
00:01:11,520 --> 00:01:14,200
Speaker 1: each other out and um be official offense so we

28
00:01:14,240 --> 00:01:16,480
Speaker 1: can also help out special teams and how about defense

29
00:01:16,480 --> 00:01:18,760
Speaker 1: and overall to help you get wins. Sack you and

30
00:01:18,800 --> 00:01:21,160
Speaker 1: you and Zeke have been sort of the market running

31
00:01:21,160 --> 00:01:23,440
Speaker 1: backs in the division for a couple of years here. Um,

32
00:01:23,600 --> 00:01:26,240

33
00:01:26,560 --> 00:01:30,880

34
00:01:30,880 --> 00:01:33,280
Speaker 1: mean I haven't. I haven't talked to Zeke in a minute.

35
00:01:33,440 --> 00:01:35,040
Speaker 1: When I got hurt, he hit me up on it

36
00:01:35,160 --> 00:01:40,280
Speaker 1: on Instagram. I believe. Um. Uh, you know, any time

37
00:01:40,319 --> 00:01:42,119
Speaker 1: when we see each other, you know, it's nothing but love,

38
00:01:42,319 --> 00:01:45,039
Speaker 1: nothing but respect. He's one of my one of my

39
00:01:45,080 --> 00:01:47,240
Speaker 1: favorite players to watch, one of my favorite players to

40
00:01:47,280 --> 00:01:50,200
Speaker 1: go against. And going against him since uh when I

41
00:01:50,240 --> 00:01:52,520
Speaker 1: was eighteen years old at Penn State is last year

42
00:01:52,520 --> 00:01:54,680
Speaker 1: of House State. Uh so always been a big fan

43
00:01:54,720 --> 00:01:56,960
Speaker 1: of him and you know, to see him, Uh, starting

44
00:01:56,960 --> 00:01:58,920
Speaker 1: to come back and show the world you know, he's

45
00:01:58,920 --> 00:02:01,360
Speaker 1: still leading, he's still that guy, which you know everyone

46
00:02:01,360 --> 00:02:04,320
Speaker 1: else pretty much knew that, and um just had perform

50
00:02:12,000 --> 00:02:14,280
Speaker 1: a fun matchup going against him. Obviously it's not like

51
00:02:14,320 --> 00:02:19,040
Speaker 1: you're just going against Zeko Elliott. But I mean as competitors,

52
00:02:19,200 --> 00:02:21,960
Speaker 1: you tend to to look up a little more when

53
00:02:21,960 --> 00:02:24,280
Speaker 1: you're going against a guy like that and see what

54
00:02:24,320 --> 00:02:26,760
Speaker 1: he's doing and helped motivate you. And I want to

55
00:02:26,800 --> 00:02:30,959
Speaker 1: push your do a little. But for you heartbroken at

56
00:02:31,040 --> 00:02:34,639

61
00:02:46,400 --> 00:02:48,919
Speaker 1: obviously I saw the trade. Um, I'm half for him.

62
00:02:48,960 --> 00:02:52,080

63
00:02:52,160 --> 00:02:54,960

Speaker 1: you know, I think he's showing how hot special he

65
00:02:56,840 --> 00:02:59,480
Speaker 1: is already and he's only gonna get better. Uh he's

66
00:02:59,760 --> 00:03:02,679
Speaker 1: a freak athlete. Uh you know you see Customer and

67
00:03:02,720 --> 00:03:04,880
Speaker 1: playing Beefa's defend and you see him plainting linebackers, you

68
00:03:04,919 --> 00:03:07,520
Speaker 1: see him covering, uh you see them just how fast

69
00:03:07,560 --> 00:03:09,800
Speaker 1: he is running to the ball. Uh, he's a special player.

70
00:03:09,840 --> 00:03:11,320
Speaker 1: So I have it from him that he's having a

71
00:03:11,320 --> 00:03:13,400
Speaker 1: lot of sesse. And uh you know, we can't can't

76
00:03:27,639 --> 00:03:29,840
Speaker 1: you know it wouldn't be on the weeks we play

77
00:03:29,880 --> 00:03:34,239
Speaker 1: each other, but uh, you know we're good friends. I

78
00:03:34,320 --> 00:03:38,040
Speaker 1: kind of helped recruit him to come to Penn State. Um, obviously,

79
00:03:38,080 --> 00:03:40,640
Speaker 1: you know coach Frankly and all those guys, Coach Probabe,

80
00:03:41,200 --> 00:03:42,720
Speaker 1: uh Spence a little too, did a really good job

81
00:03:42,720 --> 00:03:44,480
Speaker 1: of help him to get there too. So I knew

82
00:03:44,520 --> 00:03:48,080
Speaker 1: him since he was seventeen, eighteen years old. Um, and

83
00:03:48,160 --> 00:03:50,480
Speaker 1: it's happy to see you know a guy from uh

84
00:03:50,560 --> 00:03:52,280
Speaker 1: the error he's from. Um, he put a lot of

85
00:03:52,280 --> 00:03:54,520
Speaker 1: hard work, hard work and to be able to come

86
00:03:54,520 --> 00:03:57,480
Speaker 1: in the NFL and slowly emerging as one of marquee

87
00:03:57,480 --> 00:04:00,600
Speaker 1: players in the NFL. And UM just had fun to

88
00:04:00,720 --> 00:04:04,119
Speaker 1: answer question all season. Yeah, it's it's a lot of love.

89
00:04:04,200 --> 00:04:08,040
Speaker 1: But right now, UM, it's not not as much love

90
00:04:08,080 --> 00:04:11,760
Speaker 1: as we're being all season. And I say that I'm

91
00:04:11,880 --> 00:04:17,240
Speaker 1: in the screen y, Um, we work it. Uh, we're working.

92
00:04:17,760 --> 00:04:19,240
Speaker 1: I got a good feel for it. The old line

93
00:04:19,279 --> 00:04:22,599
Speaker 1: got a good feel for it, um, and not not

94
00:04:22,680 --> 00:04:24,480
Speaker 1: just myself, even with Katie. I think you're able to

95
00:04:24,480 --> 00:04:27,480
Speaker 1: see what Katie is able to do. It's important, um,

96
00:04:27,640 --> 00:04:31,039
Speaker 1: screen game, get your playmakers and space, and you know

97
00:04:31,080 --> 00:04:32,880
Speaker 1: it's big to to set it up and have good

98
00:04:32,880 --> 00:04:35,440
Speaker 1: relations with the office alignment who's getting out there and

99
00:04:35,520 --> 00:04:37,839
Speaker 1: well obviously it was blocking for you and um, you

100
00:04:37,839 --> 00:04:40,320
Speaker 1: know we've been making some some some big plays on it. Uh.

101
00:04:40,440 --> 00:04:43,039
Speaker 1: Kind of started against Atlanta. We were close, really close,

102
00:04:43,080 --> 00:04:45,720
Speaker 1: real close, Um, and we still got so much more

103
00:04:45,760 --> 00:04:47,479
Speaker 1: room to to grow in that in that air of

104
00:04:47,480 --> 00:04:50,560
Speaker 1: our game. My fan, that is your faster than your

105
00:04:50,560 --> 00:04:53,000
Speaker 1: offensive alignment. So you have to sort of like it's

106
00:04:53,040 --> 00:04:55,360
Speaker 1: just a feel. It's a feel for it. Um, let's

107
00:04:55,400 --> 00:04:57,280
Speaker 1: understanding the count. How long you got to take to

108
00:04:57,320 --> 00:05:00,120
Speaker 1: get out? Give him a head start, um, so they

109
00:05:00,160 --> 00:05:03,000
Speaker 1: can get on the blockers and uh, you know, see

110
00:05:03,279 --> 00:05:04,880
Speaker 1: it helps when they got on the blockers, it helps

111
00:05:04,920 --> 00:05:06,960
Speaker 1: you see it a little bit better too. So um,

112
00:05:06,960 --> 00:05:09,520
Speaker 1: just to feel understanding through the timing of it and

113
00:05:09,560 --> 00:05:11,919
Speaker 1: be on the same pace. I don't know for the

114
00:05:12,000 --> 00:05:14,320
Speaker 1: last year, we did ast you anything about you need.

115
00:05:16,200 --> 00:05:18,400
Speaker 1: But the question I have though is after you what hurt?

116
00:05:18,400 --> 00:05:23,000
Speaker 1: Did Eddie Jackson ever reach out to you? And oh? Yeah,

117
00:05:23,080 --> 00:05:26,200
Speaker 1: actually did uh? He he did reach out to me. Um,

118
00:05:26,960 --> 00:05:31,000
Speaker 1: he like reach out and was like I'm trying to remember,

119
00:05:31,600 --> 00:05:33,320
Speaker 1: basically hit me up. And it was like saying, like

120
00:05:33,600 --> 00:05:36,320
Speaker 1: hope everything okay, like obviously it was not like a

121
00:05:36,360 --> 00:05:39,160
Speaker 1: dirty player and nothing like that. And I was like, um, yeah,

122
00:05:39,200 --> 00:05:41,600
Speaker 1: it's be all good, bro, like much love and keep

123
00:05:41,800 --> 00:05:44,600
Speaker 1: keep going and stay healthy. Um. But yeah, he did

124
00:05:44,640 --> 00:05:47,599
Speaker 1: reach out to me after after the game. Um, but

125
00:05:47,640 --> 00:05:50,920
Speaker 1: not just Eddie's just whole bunch of players in NFL. Uh.

126
00:05:50,960 --> 00:05:53,520
Speaker 1: You know when it happened in out even in games,

127
00:05:53,560 --> 00:05:54,920
Speaker 1: you know a lot a lot of people are coming

128
00:05:54,960 --> 00:05:57,440
Speaker 1: to me and saying that is happy, happy to see

129
00:05:57,480 --> 00:05:59,920
Speaker 1: me back out there. Um, is better for the league

130
00:05:59,920 --> 00:06:02,039
Speaker 1: to it to they had me out there healthy. That's

131
00:06:02,080 --> 00:06:04,120
Speaker 1: the things started saying. And at the end of the day,

132
00:06:04,120 --> 00:06:06,200
Speaker 1: obviously you're competing on Sundays and you're trying to take

133
00:06:06,240 --> 00:06:08,120
Speaker 1: each other head off and get to win. But the

134
00:06:08,200 --> 00:06:10,160
Speaker 1: NFL is kind of a big brotherhood, and you never

135
00:06:10,200 --> 00:06:12,640
Speaker 1: want see anyone go down. Um, and you know, you

136
00:06:12,839 --> 00:06:14,960
Speaker 1: just want to see everyone throve and be successful when

137
00:06:14,960 --> 00:06:19,120
Speaker 1: and stay healthy. What should you more that you're back

138
00:06:19,120 --> 00:06:22,520
Speaker 1: to being yourself? That's that touchdown, that catch, touchdown cut

139
00:06:22,560 --> 00:06:25,920
Speaker 1: across the field, or the game winning touchdown between the tackles,

140
00:06:25,920 --> 00:06:27,960
Speaker 1: a quick cut behind the line of scrimmage, Like what

141
00:06:28,160 --> 00:06:33,680
Speaker 1: said to you? More like all right, that's me. Um,

142
00:06:34,000 --> 00:06:36,200
Speaker 1: first one got me in my bag, like I was

143
00:06:36,240 --> 00:06:39,039
Speaker 1: like after I scored, I was like, yeah, and my

144
00:06:39,120 --> 00:06:42,400
Speaker 1: bad means like, uh, in the zone, I got my

145
00:06:42,560 --> 00:06:46,200
Speaker 1: got in my zone. But the last one, I like

146
00:06:46,279 --> 00:06:49,120
Speaker 1: the last one maybe probably maybe feel like I'm getting closer,

147
00:06:49,480 --> 00:06:54,800
Speaker 1: feeling better just a fact because um, the play before

148
00:06:54,800 --> 00:06:56,880
Speaker 1: that I was in I phoned the ball. Uh and

149
00:06:57,240 --> 00:06:59,039
Speaker 1: obviously you know your phone me you go out and

150
00:07:00,040 --> 00:07:01,599
Speaker 1: got my mind right back into it and I was

151
00:07:01,680 --> 00:07:03,840
Speaker 1: still within. UM. To be able to go out there

152
00:07:03,839 --> 00:07:05,680
Speaker 1: and you know they handle all off and trusted and

153
00:07:05,680 --> 00:07:08,320
Speaker 1: make those cuts and get end zone was big for

154
00:07:08,360 --> 00:07:10,080
