1 00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:01,840 Speaker 1: How did you feel like you guys did at the 2 00:00:01,920 --> 00:00:04,640 Speaker 1: first drink out? Um, yeah, I thought, I mean, you know, 3 00:00:04,760 --> 00:00:06,840 Speaker 1: there's gonna be good, it's gonna be bad. Um, you 4 00:00:06,840 --> 00:00:08,879 Speaker 1: gotta go back and watch film learn from it. But 5 00:00:08,920 --> 00:00:10,760 Speaker 1: that's what the preseason for, you know, try to shop 6 00:00:10,800 --> 00:00:13,720 Speaker 1: with the tools, shopping up the game. Um, and whatever 7 00:00:13,720 --> 00:00:16,720 Speaker 1: we didn't execute well, make sure that we were get 8 00:00:16,720 --> 00:00:19,079 Speaker 1: into practice and you know something that just keeps taking 9 00:00:19,079 --> 00:00:20,720 Speaker 1: my mind on the first drive, find a way to 10 00:00:20,760 --> 00:00:23,400 Speaker 1: get more than three. Um, you know that that's that's 11 00:00:23,400 --> 00:00:24,800 Speaker 1: all of us. We've gotta find a way to do that. 12 00:00:25,520 --> 00:00:27,479 Speaker 1: But that's what it is. That's what's for. That's preseason. 13 00:00:27,480 --> 00:00:29,160 Speaker 1: You gotta get bet every single day. Did you feel 14 00:00:29,160 --> 00:00:32,320 Speaker 1: as good out there as you have and camp so far? Yeah? 15 00:00:32,360 --> 00:00:33,920 Speaker 1: I felt pretty good. Yeah, I felt pretty good. I 16 00:00:33,920 --> 00:00:35,720 Speaker 1: think the line did a great job. Um, we were 17 00:00:35,760 --> 00:00:38,600 Speaker 1: able to move the ball. Um. You know I was 18 00:00:38,680 --> 00:00:41,960 Speaker 1: able to get a catch on third and five to 19 00:00:42,040 --> 00:00:44,000 Speaker 1: keep this takes moving great ball by DJ and great 20 00:00:44,040 --> 00:00:47,880 Speaker 1: robot DJ. But my body been feeling really good. Um 21 00:00:47,920 --> 00:00:50,040 Speaker 1: so because like I said, taking it one a dead 22 00:00:50,159 --> 00:00:53,120 Speaker 1: time and uh, improve off of this. It seems like 23 00:00:53,120 --> 00:00:55,040 Speaker 1: you're really getting downhill. Well, is that It's been a 24 00:00:55,040 --> 00:00:57,200 Speaker 1: focus for this offseason, trying to make sure you kind 25 00:00:57,200 --> 00:00:59,680 Speaker 1: of you know, get down and get up feel pretty quick. 26 00:01:00,120 --> 00:01:03,400 Speaker 1: To be honest, I really haven't really changed anything, um, 27 00:01:03,440 --> 00:01:06,319 Speaker 1: you know obviously, I just feel like when he's just 28 00:01:06,319 --> 00:01:08,040 Speaker 1: more comfortable with your body, you can trust yourself a 29 00:01:08,040 --> 00:01:10,040 Speaker 1: little bit more than I even thinking, and you just 30 00:01:10,080 --> 00:01:12,920 Speaker 1: get downhill. Um. You know, that's kind of how I fight. 31 00:01:12,959 --> 00:01:15,440 Speaker 1: I've been playing my my whole career so far, so 32 00:01:15,600 --> 00:01:17,360 Speaker 1: I'm excited to get get back to that. Just trying 33 00:01:17,400 --> 00:01:19,479 Speaker 1: to make plays with the offense and help us with games. 34 00:01:19,480 --> 00:01:21,039 Speaker 1: You feel like you get into rhythm with the blocking 35 00:01:21,040 --> 00:01:23,240 Speaker 1: schemes and understanding where the offensively, I'm gonna be in 36 00:01:23,240 --> 00:01:25,479 Speaker 1: fine with them in the scheme that way. Yeah, for sure. 37 00:01:25,520 --> 00:01:27,640 Speaker 1: I think we've been been doing a great job, um, 38 00:01:27,680 --> 00:01:30,240 Speaker 1: not only in the game, but just throughout practice um 39 00:01:30,319 --> 00:01:33,640 Speaker 1: not on seven uh and team periods. I think the 40 00:01:33,720 --> 00:01:36,280 Speaker 1: aln been a great job. Bobby and all those guys 41 00:01:36,280 --> 00:01:38,200 Speaker 1: been done a great job. And running backs been getting 42 00:01:38,200 --> 00:01:39,920 Speaker 1: a great fielding. That's what happens, you know, you don't 43 00:01:40,080 --> 00:01:41,839 Speaker 1: That's what you gotta get to get it at and practice, 44 00:01:41,880 --> 00:01:43,319 Speaker 1: you know, you don't get more reps in practice than 45 00:01:43,360 --> 00:01:45,720 Speaker 1: you relistily you get in a preseason in the preseason game. 46 00:01:45,800 --> 00:01:48,280 Speaker 1: So keep feeding off each other, keep building off each other, 47 00:01:48,360 --> 00:01:50,720 Speaker 1: so once he's come, we could take off. Nice to 48 00:01:50,720 --> 00:01:52,480 Speaker 1: get that first hit out of the way in the preseason. 49 00:01:52,760 --> 00:01:55,400 Speaker 1: Uh yeah, you know. Uh, I'd asked me, like when 50 00:01:55,400 --> 00:01:57,400 Speaker 1: I was walking by, like someone asked me, it was 51 00:01:57,400 --> 00:01:59,680 Speaker 1: not nervous, and I was just like, you know, like 52 00:02:00,240 --> 00:02:02,400 Speaker 1: usually you are, but like last year, I felt like 53 00:02:02,440 --> 00:02:04,200 Speaker 1: I was at a point where I was just you know, 54 00:02:04,720 --> 00:02:06,600 Speaker 1: not really confident on myself in my body. Like now 55 00:02:06,640 --> 00:02:09,040 Speaker 1: I'm just so free and so loose. So uh, but 56 00:02:09,040 --> 00:02:12,079 Speaker 1: it's always going to get that first hit out the way, umsidic. 57 00:02:12,240 --> 00:02:13,720 Speaker 1: I think, like I said, a lot of goods, a 58 00:02:13,720 --> 00:02:15,519 Speaker 1: lot of bad. Um, not a lot bad, but a 59 00:02:15,560 --> 00:02:17,200 Speaker 1: lot of good and bad. But you gotta learned from it, 60 00:02:17,480 --> 00:02:25,360 Speaker 1: continue to get better at this point how important, you 61 00:02:25,360 --> 00:02:26,519 Speaker 1: know what I mean. It's a little different from me 62 00:02:26,560 --> 00:02:29,120 Speaker 1: and just my like I think my second preseason game 63 00:02:29,120 --> 00:02:32,079 Speaker 1: I ever played, but I feel like it's very important, 64 00:02:32,080 --> 00:02:36,480 Speaker 1: you know, to to get full speed reps against another opponent. Obviously, 65 00:02:36,639 --> 00:02:39,240 Speaker 1: you know, you get that tempo in practice and go 66 00:02:39,280 --> 00:02:40,960 Speaker 1: and get the same guys, but when you go against 67 00:02:40,960 --> 00:02:43,880 Speaker 1: another team, always notches up, no, go to another level. 68 00:02:43,960 --> 00:02:45,960 Speaker 1: So I feel like that's the probably the most important 69 00:02:45,960 --> 00:02:48,520 Speaker 1: part UM and just at that competitive level going against 70 00:02:48,520 --> 00:02:51,160 Speaker 1: another team, that's why it's important. But the coach has 71 00:02:51,160 --> 00:02:54,040 Speaker 1: been doing a great job, you know, trying to assimilate 72 00:02:54,080 --> 00:02:55,760 Speaker 1: that in practice, so when you get to the game, 73 00:02:55,800 --> 00:02:57,520 Speaker 1: you really don't. You don't have got to think twice 74 00:02:57,560 --> 00:02:59,239 Speaker 1: about it. But I would say for me personally, I 75 00:02:59,240 --> 00:03:01,600 Speaker 1: would say that's the big difference. Um, it just comes 76 00:03:01,600 --> 00:03:03,480 Speaker 1: another level then when the regular season comes up to 77 00:03:03,560 --> 00:03:06,480 Speaker 1: another level. So I'm excided for that. So a couple 78 00:03:06,520 --> 00:03:08,560 Speaker 1: of times that you didn't have this last year, do 79 00:03:08,639 --> 00:03:10,560 Speaker 1: you think when the season starts you'd be ahead where 80 00:03:10,560 --> 00:03:13,079 Speaker 1: you Yeah, I mean I don't want to look too far. 81 00:03:13,160 --> 00:03:15,160 Speaker 1: Obviously we still got four weeks to get ready for 82 00:03:15,200 --> 00:03:19,600 Speaker 1: a season, but yeah, definitely gonna definitely you just feel uncomfortable. Um, 83 00:03:20,080 --> 00:03:22,040 Speaker 1: like I said, with the timing and the rhythm with 84 00:03:22,120 --> 00:03:24,080 Speaker 1: the offense. Obviously you get that in practice, but to 85 00:03:24,080 --> 00:03:27,680 Speaker 1: to get a live action UM against another team definitely helps. 86 00:03:27,720 --> 00:03:30,280 Speaker 1: So I look forward to it. I think, like, yeah, 87 00:03:30,280 --> 00:03:31,600 Speaker 1: I agree with to you. I think that can help 88 00:03:31,600 --> 00:03:34,679 Speaker 1: and can help catapult. You know how successful we are 89 00:03:35,040 --> 00:03:38,279 Speaker 1: or individually has sussful I can be for the team. 90 00:03:38,800 --> 00:03:43,400 Speaker 1: Early in the season, first it looked like a much 91 00:03:43,480 --> 00:03:45,360 Speaker 1: time perfectly you got the ball and you kind of 92 00:03:45,360 --> 00:03:47,640 Speaker 1: pivoted turned the corner. You know, did you were you 93 00:03:47,680 --> 00:03:49,720 Speaker 1: happy with that play? Yeah? I was happy. I gotta 94 00:03:49,720 --> 00:03:52,360 Speaker 1: go back and look at it, you know, obviously knowing 95 00:03:52,400 --> 00:03:54,560 Speaker 1: the situation, know what happened. Third or five, I think 96 00:03:54,600 --> 00:03:57,560 Speaker 1: we got eight on it. Great read by d j Um. 97 00:03:57,600 --> 00:03:58,880 Speaker 1: You know I was able to get open. I knew 98 00:03:58,880 --> 00:04:01,320 Speaker 1: the balls gonna come. Uh. And you know that's the 99 00:04:01,320 --> 00:04:03,240 Speaker 1: type of the timing and feeling that you gotta have. 100 00:04:03,320 --> 00:04:05,400 Speaker 1: And you know, even if we didn't escue on that play, 101 00:04:05,640 --> 00:04:06,960 Speaker 1: you know that's something that you can go back in 102 00:04:07,000 --> 00:04:08,760 Speaker 1: the next day and work on that. So that's what 103 00:04:08,800 --> 00:04:11,920 Speaker 1: preseason for to get better. Um. You know, get guy's 104 00:04:11,960 --> 00:04:15,000 Speaker 1: opportunity that their name may not be known or you know, 105 00:04:15,120 --> 00:04:17,200 Speaker 1: yelled out by fans, Get them opportunity to go out there. 106 00:04:17,600 --> 00:04:20,960 Speaker 1: Uh and and and put some goods up on tape 107 00:04:21,040 --> 00:04:24,240 Speaker 1: they won't mention. Help just organized. The sideline was do 108 00:04:24,240 --> 00:04:26,240 Speaker 1: you have a sense that did this team just feel 109 00:04:26,320 --> 00:04:28,360 Speaker 1: kind of prepared and ready with with all the new 110 00:04:28,400 --> 00:04:29,680 Speaker 1: things that have been growing at you guys off the 111 00:04:29,800 --> 00:04:32,760 Speaker 1: last few months. Um, yeah, you know, but I think, uh, 112 00:04:32,880 --> 00:04:36,400 Speaker 1: Daves and all the coaches from you know, from Dave's 113 00:04:36,720 --> 00:04:39,440 Speaker 1: assistant coaches to the strange staff to trainers, they do 114 00:04:39,520 --> 00:04:42,159 Speaker 1: a really good job with preparing that in practice. Uh, 115 00:04:42,200 --> 00:04:44,880 Speaker 1: you know, every single day I might be over that 116 00:04:44,960 --> 00:04:46,840 Speaker 1: yellow line and Fit's gonna come and give me a 117 00:04:46,880 --> 00:04:49,320 Speaker 1: little nudge and make sure I get back.

Just how much faster we got. 120 00:04:56,800 --> 00:04:58,880 Speaker 1: You know, when first when you get there for spraying 121 00:04:58,960 --> 00:05:00,599 Speaker 1: for O. T A S. You know, all that stuff 122 00:05:00,680 --> 00:05:03,120 Speaker 1: is thrown to your face learning a new playbook, especially 123 00:05:03,120 --> 00:05:05,920 Speaker 1: all the guys that didn't come from the prior, from Buffalo, 124 00:05:06,000 --> 00:05:08,400 Speaker 1: from Kansas City before, as you kind of like whoa, 125 00:05:08,480 --> 00:05:10,320 Speaker 1: like what the heck is going on?
