1
00:00:00,320 --> 00:00:02,240
Speaker 1: Is there extra motivation just because of either it's a

2
00:00:02,279 --> 00:00:04,320
Speaker 1: new season or is it more Hey, we know last

3
00:00:04,400 --> 00:00:06,240
Speaker 1: year and it would got more work to do here.

4
00:00:08,039 --> 00:00:09,399
Speaker 2: I mean last year was last year.

5
00:00:09,440 --> 00:00:13,000
Speaker 3: To be honest, like, we just focus on on us,

6
00:00:13,080 --> 00:00:14,400
Speaker 3: you know, each and every day every time, except I

7
00:00:14,400 --> 00:00:14,840
Speaker 3: don't field.

8
00:00:14,840 --> 00:00:16,759
Speaker 2: We really ain't worried about what happened last year.

9
00:00:17,079 --> 00:00:20,000
Speaker 3: It's a new team, new energy, new locker room, like

10
00:00:20,440 --> 00:00:21,120
Speaker 3: everything's new.

11
00:00:21,160 --> 00:00:22,720
Speaker 2: So like it's a new season. So while we worried

12
00:00:22,760 --> 00:00:23,919
Speaker 2: about the past, you know what I'm saying.

13
00:00:23,960 --> 00:00:25,880
Speaker 3: So we just gonna continue to take a step forward

14
00:00:25,880 --> 00:00:30,040
Speaker 3: each and every day, talking a lot.

15
00:00:29,920 --> 00:00:33,519
Speaker 1: About you know you and your potential at running back

16
00:00:33,560 --> 00:00:35,879
Speaker 1: and the idea of you know, you're now officially a

17
00:00:35,960 --> 00:00:37,800
Speaker 1: running back, and then mindset and the.

18
00:00:37,800 --> 00:00:39,640
Speaker 2: Way you've played it with a year under your belt.

19
00:00:39,920 --> 00:00:42,519
Speaker 1: I'm just curious, do you do you think about or

20
00:00:42,560 --> 00:00:45,280
Speaker 1: set goals? Is how good can you be as a

21
00:00:45,360 --> 00:00:45,839
Speaker 1: running back?

22
00:00:45,880 --> 00:00:47,920
Speaker 2: Where is your ceiling after last year?

23
00:00:48,120 --> 00:00:49,760
Speaker 3: I mean it really ain't no ceiling, to be honest

24
00:00:49,800 --> 00:00:51,520
Speaker 3: with you, I don't think of it as a ceiling.

25
00:00:52,720 --> 00:00:54,520
Speaker 3: It's really I'm gonna do the best I can do

26
00:00:54,560 --> 00:00:56,840
Speaker 3: each and every game, every time I step on the field,

27
00:00:56,880 --> 00:00:58,480
Speaker 3: last my clip. I'm gonna do the best I can do.

28
00:00:59,440 --> 00:01:01,840
Speaker 3: And like you said, he said, is there a ceiling? No,

29
00:01:01,880 --> 00:01:04,319
Speaker 3: I don't think there's a ceiling. It's more so you know,

30
00:01:04,400 --> 00:01:06,160
Speaker 3: how good do I want to be? I think I

31
00:01:06,160 --> 00:01:08,520
Speaker 3: can be as good as the best player that y'all

32
00:01:08,520 --> 00:01:10,320
Speaker 3: can ever think of. That's how good I think I

33
00:01:10,360 --> 00:01:12,840
Speaker 3: can be. But again, it's not about what I say.

34
00:01:12,840 --> 00:01:15,160
Speaker 3: It's about what I do and how I go about it.

35
00:01:15,200 --> 00:01:16,600
Speaker 3: You know, I gotta be a professional on how to

36
00:01:16,600 --> 00:01:18,800
Speaker 3: take care of my body to you know, when I sleep,

37
00:01:18,840 --> 00:01:19,880
Speaker 3: how I eat everything.

38
00:01:20,120 --> 00:01:21,000
Speaker 2: So it's not.

39
00:01:20,920 --> 00:01:22,280
Speaker 3: Really just about what you do on the field, about

40
00:01:22,280 --> 00:01:23,920
Speaker 3: what you do off the field that you know, when

41
00:01:23,959 --> 00:01:27,039
Speaker 3: you talk about professionals, you know, that's what they That's.

42
00:01:26,920 --> 00:01:27,600
Speaker 2: What you're talking about.

43
00:01:27,640 --> 00:01:30,560
Speaker 3: You talk about how they carry themselves each and every day.

44
00:01:30,640 --> 00:01:33,840
Speaker 1: If you've got that sense from your new quarterback Russell

45
00:01:33,880 --> 00:01:36,680
Speaker 1: Wilson that he seems to embody that you know what

46
00:01:36,720 --> 00:01:38,760
Speaker 1: I mean, every day every minute?

47
00:01:39,120 --> 00:01:41,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I mean I think he is.

48
00:01:42,840 --> 00:01:45,080
Speaker 3: You know, when you talk about professional and people who

49
00:01:45,120 --> 00:01:47,560
Speaker 3: you know go about their business the right way, that's

50
00:01:47,560 --> 00:01:48,200
Speaker 3: what Russ is.

51
00:01:48,240 --> 00:01:48,440
Speaker 2: You know.

52
00:01:48,640 --> 00:01:51,080
Speaker 3: Obviously, I've only been around him a short amount of time,

53
00:01:51,800 --> 00:01:54,560
Speaker 3: but I mean he does everything like a professional. Like

54
00:01:54,680 --> 00:01:57,560
Speaker 3: I know it seems cliche, but it's the truth, you know.

55
00:01:58,000 --> 00:01:59,440
Speaker 3: Like I said, I've only been around him a short

56
00:01:59,440 --> 00:02:01,600
Speaker 3: period of time, but every time I'm around him, he's

57
00:02:01,920 --> 00:02:04,559
Speaker 3: in here doing something. He's never just like sitting around

58
00:02:04,600 --> 00:02:07,520
Speaker 3: like either getting treatment or you know, talking about plays,

59
00:02:07,640 --> 00:02:10,080
Speaker 3: or like he's talking to you know, defenders, you know

60
00:02:10,080 --> 00:02:11,600
Speaker 3: about you know, what they saw and how he can

61
00:02:11,600 --> 00:02:14,720
Speaker 3: get better or whatever. Like everything about him, man is

62
00:02:14,800 --> 00:02:16,400
Speaker 3: really just being a true professional.

63
00:02:16,880 --> 00:02:18,560
Speaker 4: By the end of last year, you were, you know,

64
00:02:18,639 --> 00:02:22,240
Speaker 4: three down running back with Cam here that that could change?

65
00:02:23,400 --> 00:02:24,680
Speaker 4: Is there a mindset change at all?

66
00:02:24,760 --> 00:02:28,160
Speaker 3: You know with that n and to your point, like

67
00:02:28,639 --> 00:02:31,920
Speaker 3: Cam here, it's nothing but adding to you know what

68
00:02:31,960 --> 00:02:34,320
Speaker 3: we got. I think that it's a great addition to

69
00:02:34,360 --> 00:02:36,360
Speaker 3: the room. If you look around our room, there's really

70
00:02:36,520 --> 00:02:39,120
Speaker 3: nothing anyone can do. It's like we didn't add Cam

71
00:02:39,200 --> 00:02:41,480
Speaker 3: you know, just to do one thing. He's a good

72
00:02:41,680 --> 00:02:43,160
Speaker 3: running back, you know what I'm saying. They didn't bring

73
00:02:43,200 --> 00:02:44,519
Speaker 3: me here just do one thing. They add me because

74
00:02:44,520 --> 00:02:47,240
Speaker 3: I'm a good running back. So when at the end

75
00:02:47,240 --> 00:02:49,520
Speaker 3: of the day, whoever's in there on third down, second down,

76
00:02:49,520 --> 00:02:51,680
Speaker 3: first I no matter what it is, like, you're gonna produce.

77
00:02:51,720 --> 00:02:53,320
Speaker 2: And that's the standard that we have in the running

78
00:02:53,320 --> 00:02:53,720
Speaker 2: back room.

79
00:02:54,080 --> 00:02:56,080
Speaker 3: Like we go on the field, we get them opportunities,

80
00:02:56,120 --> 00:02:58,040
Speaker 3: whether it's pass or run or even pass protection.

81
00:02:58,400 --> 00:02:59,160
Speaker 2: Man, make the play.

82
00:02:59,440 --> 00:03:03,079
Speaker 3: So there is no you know, third down back there

83
00:03:03,160 --> 00:03:05,480
Speaker 3: is no you know, you're passing down back whatever, you know,

84
00:03:05,520 --> 00:03:08,000
Speaker 3: there's not there's not that in our room. It's more

85
00:03:08,040 --> 00:03:10,120
Speaker 3: so can you play and then when you do get

86
00:03:10,160 --> 00:03:12,480
Speaker 3: the opportunities, take care of it, you know what I'm saying,

87
00:03:12,480 --> 00:03:13,239
Speaker 3: Make the most of it.

88
00:03:13,440 --> 00:03:15,880
Speaker 4: You think your skill sets compliment each other, you know, well.

89
00:03:16,360 --> 00:03:18,600
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, yeah, I mean should look at it, you

90
00:03:18,600 --> 00:03:20,320
Speaker 3: know what I'm saying. And man, the man is strong

91
00:03:20,360 --> 00:03:24,080
Speaker 3: and powerful. I'm more you know, slippery, elusive, you know.

92
00:03:25,360 --> 00:03:26,799
Speaker 3: But at the same time, like we both can catch

93
00:03:26,840 --> 00:03:28,800
Speaker 3: up the backfield that we both can pass protect. So

94
00:03:28,840 --> 00:03:30,680
Speaker 3: it's not like you know when camp comes and oh

95
00:03:30,840 --> 00:03:32,400
Speaker 3: you know we're running a ball downhill.

96
00:03:32,480 --> 00:03:34,639
Speaker 2: Nah. He can do really anything, just like I can

97
00:03:34,639 --> 00:03:37,680
Speaker 2: do really anything. So it really is it.

98
00:03:37,760 --> 00:03:39,600
Speaker 3: As like said, it's a really good addition to our

99
00:03:39,680 --> 00:03:42,040
Speaker 3: running back room because when you add a player like that,

100
00:03:42,040 --> 00:03:44,920
Speaker 3: that can give that power element, you know, not necessarily

101
00:03:44,960 --> 00:03:46,920
Speaker 3: saying we didn't have it last year, but when you

102
00:03:46,920 --> 00:03:49,160
Speaker 3: watch this film you can obviously see it on film,

103
00:03:49,320 --> 00:03:50,880
Speaker 3: you know what he's bringing to the table.

104
00:03:50,960 --> 00:03:53,280
Speaker 2: So like I said, when you add that definitely puts

105
00:03:53,320 --> 00:03:56,440
Speaker 2: that you know, emphasis on it. You know in our room, what.

106
00:03:56,440 --> 00:03:58,760
Speaker 4: Kind of power element because Evan Neil.

107
00:03:58,640 --> 00:04:02,680
Speaker 2: Give it guard I mean Neil he moving moving.

108
00:04:02,880 --> 00:04:05,240
Speaker 3: I was about say the wrong word, but he's moving

109
00:04:05,280 --> 00:04:09,200
Speaker 3: stuff back there, man. Like when I say, like he's

110
00:04:09,400 --> 00:04:12,720
Speaker 3: in actively trying to get better. Obviously he had injuries

111
00:04:12,760 --> 00:04:14,960
Speaker 3: and stuff that you know came up and but you

112
00:04:14,960 --> 00:04:17,120
Speaker 3: know obviously he's he's doing everything he can to get

113
00:04:17,160 --> 00:04:18,840
Speaker 3: back into it. But he Neil doing the best he can,

114
00:04:19,080 --> 00:04:22,280
Speaker 3: you know, with the opportunity to give. Yeah, yeah, he

115
00:04:22,440 --> 00:04:25,080
Speaker 3: moving moving.

116
00:04:25,279 --> 00:04:25,479
Speaker 4: Yeah.

117
00:04:25,640 --> 00:04:27,760
Speaker 3: It's a great site for me, you know, as a

118
00:04:27,760 --> 00:04:28,760
Speaker 3: as a as a running back.

119
00:04:28,800 --> 00:04:29,640
Speaker 2: You know old line are doing.

120
00:04:30,120 --> 00:04:31,919
Speaker 3: We only had passed on two days, so I mean

121
00:04:31,960 --> 00:04:33,679
Speaker 3: these first two days, man, they were doing an amazing

122
00:04:33,760 --> 00:04:35,960
Speaker 3: job of like just you know, resetting the line of scrimmage,

123
00:04:35,960 --> 00:04:38,760
Speaker 3: allowing running lanes for running backs. You know, it's really

124
00:04:39,200 --> 00:04:41,719
Speaker 3: given us our vision, allowing it to make it easy

125
00:04:41,760 --> 00:04:43,880
Speaker 3: on us, you know, So my job is to make

126
00:04:43,920 --> 00:04:45,720
Speaker 3: them look good. You know, I want the old line

127
00:04:45,760 --> 00:04:49,440
Speaker 3: to look amazing, like the best online in America. So yeah,

128
00:04:49,440 --> 00:04:51,600
Speaker 3: I'm doing the things that I can to make sure

129
00:04:51,640 --> 00:04:52,120
Speaker 3: they look good.

130
00:04:52,120 --> 00:04:54,120
Speaker 2: But then you know, they're really doing all the hard

131
00:04:54,120 --> 00:04:54,760
Speaker 2: work for me. Though.

132
00:04:55,120 --> 00:04:57,160
Speaker 1: He's a little different singing guard that tall.

133
00:04:58,120 --> 00:05:02,640
Speaker 3: Usually, uh mean, yeah, not really, not really, be honest,

134
00:05:02,640 --> 00:05:05,960
Speaker 3: just because like I want you know, I want tall everything.

135
00:05:06,080 --> 00:05:06,400
Speaker 2: Hold on.

136
00:05:06,480 --> 00:05:08,680
Speaker 3: I want to hop everybody be six seven, just because,

137
00:05:08,720 --> 00:05:10,240
Speaker 3: like you know, obviously, the bigger, the stronger you are.

138
00:05:10,240 --> 00:05:11,200
Speaker 2: As the better is for me.

139
00:05:11,279 --> 00:05:14,000
Speaker 3: But but yeah, it's not really big difference though.

140
00:05:15,160 --> 00:05:19,560
Speaker 2: Line up running ninety four lovely, lovely. You have ever

141
00:05:19,560 --> 00:05:22,120

00:05:25,320 --> 00:05:26,440
Speaker 2: Just let me tell you that.

144
00:05:26,640 --> 00:05:30,640
Speaker 4: Yeah, your your draft class was a bright spot last year.

145
00:05:30,680 --> 00:05:32,159
Speaker 4: You know, you're only in year two, but you think

146
00:05:32,200 --> 00:05:34,919
Speaker 4: that group is almost already emerged as leaders, you know

147
00:05:35,000 --> 00:05:35,360
Speaker 4: this year.

148
00:05:35,600 --> 00:05:39,240
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, I mean you can see it obviously, Leak

149
00:05:39,320 --> 00:05:40,200
Speaker 3: he's being more vocal.

150
00:05:40,240 --> 00:05:42,360
Speaker 2: I'm being more vocal in my room.

151
00:05:42,839 --> 00:05:44,840
Speaker 3: He knew he's you know, one of the leaders on

152
00:05:44,880 --> 00:05:47,240
Speaker 3: the defense, you know, making sure he's speaking up obviously safety,

153
00:05:47,240 --> 00:05:51,839
Speaker 3: so he has to communicate like Drew, you got Darius

154
00:05:52,520 --> 00:05:54,839
Speaker 3: chat like all like we we all like really trying

155
00:05:54,839 --> 00:05:57,919
Speaker 3: to take a step forward this year, and yeah, just

156
00:05:58,000 --> 00:05:59,920
Speaker 3: make sure that you know we're being a key point,

157
00:06:00,080 --> 00:06:02,440
Speaker 3: key focal point, you know often defensively and special teams

158
00:06:02,720 --> 00:06:05,240
Speaker 3: two more, is that something you discussed like we all

159
00:06:05,240 --> 00:06:07,000
Speaker 3: need to take a leadvitusly it's gonna be a big

160
00:06:07,000 --> 00:06:09,680
Speaker 3: part of this team's future. I mean we didn't really

161
00:06:09,720 --> 00:06:13,080
Speaker 3: talk about it, but it's more so like no unknown fact,

162
00:06:13,320 --> 00:06:15,200
Speaker 3: you know, I was we already had a big role

163
00:06:15,279 --> 00:06:17,360
Speaker 3: last year, so we're really trying to take.

164
00:06:17,240 --> 00:06:19,960
Speaker 2: That and then just continue it, you know to this year.

165
00:06:20,480 --> 00:06:22,599
Speaker 2: You talked about your goal. You talked about your goals.

166
00:06:22,600 --> 00:06:24,960
Speaker 1: I believe you told I think NFL network for like

167
00:06:25,040 --> 00:06:27,240
Speaker 1: sixteen times hune yards. Is that a reasonable goal for

168
00:06:27,279 --> 00:06:27,960
Speaker 1: you want to shoot for?

169
00:06:28,320 --> 00:06:30,360
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, I wouldn't putty that out there. That ain't

170
00:06:30,400 --> 00:06:32,200
Speaker 3: reasonable for me to shoot for. If I say it,

171
00:06:32,200 --> 00:06:35,159
Speaker 3: I mean, I'm I'm trying to go for it. But yeah,

172
00:06:35,200 --> 00:06:37,320
Speaker 3: that's definitely reasonable for me. Like I said, if you

173
00:06:37,320 --> 00:06:39,560
Speaker 3: look at it from the points of last year, you know,

174
00:06:39,760 --> 00:06:42,360
Speaker 3: a healthy old line. I didn't you know, play till

175
00:06:42,440 --> 00:06:45,200
Speaker 3: game five, I had like five hundred yards, you know.

176
00:06:45,320 --> 00:06:49,440
Speaker 3: By week nine something like that, or by week you know,

177
00:06:49,920 --> 00:06:52,520
Speaker 3: obviously everybody started getting hurt. So you know, we're playing

178
00:06:52,520 --> 00:06:54,320
Speaker 3: Mitchie match with the old line. So it makes it

179
00:06:54,320 --> 00:06:56,560
Speaker 3: a little harder. But at the same time, like I

180
00:06:56,560 --> 00:06:59,359
Speaker 3: do believe in my skill set, I believe that in

181
00:06:59,400 --> 00:07:01,400
Speaker 3: our old line, believe in our coaching stuff that we

182
00:07:01,440 --> 00:07:02,960
Speaker 3: can you know, get the job done. And then if

183
00:07:02,960 --> 00:07:04,520
Speaker 3: I go out there and just do what I do,

184
00:07:04,560 --> 00:07:07,120
Speaker 3: you know, God willing all my goals be checked off.

185
00:07:07,120 --> 00:07:08,520
Speaker 3: But I think the first thing we need to do

186
00:07:08,600 --> 00:07:11,120
Speaker 3: is win. You know, I think winning we'll bring everything else.

187
00:07:11,560 --> 00:07:13,680
Speaker 3: It's cool to sit up here and talk about you

188
00:07:13,720 --> 00:07:16,720
Speaker 3: know all you know, your personal accolades and all your

189
00:07:16,760 --> 00:07:18,360
Speaker 3: personal goals and all this and that, but like at

190
00:07:18,360 --> 00:07:19,960
Speaker 3: the end of the day, like you gotta win, you

191
00:07:19,960 --> 00:07:21,360
Speaker 3: know what I'm saying. If you don't win, none of

192
00:07:21,360 --> 00:07:22,840
Speaker 3: that stuff really matters. You know, I could have two

193
00:07:22,880 --> 00:07:25,440
Speaker 3: thousand yards, but like we're losing. If you look at

194
00:07:25,480 --> 00:07:28,120
Speaker 3: you know, some of the best running backs, they aren't

195
00:07:28,120 --> 00:07:30,480
Speaker 3: winning teams. You know what I'm saying so, if you

196
00:07:30,600 --> 00:07:33,120
Speaker 3: just have a good team period, point

197
00:07:33,160 --> 00:07:35,480
Speaker 2: In blank you have, you know your personal stats will

198
00:07:35,480 --> 00:07:35,840
Speaker 2: come along
