Speaker 1: I'm doing all right? We'll shouldn't have this wall between us,

10
00:00:28,080 --> 00:00:30,000
Speaker 1: but we're dealing with deal with what we can. I'm

11
00:00:30,040 --> 00:00:35,159
Speaker 1: knocking on the wall, that's me. But um, let's talk

12
00:00:35,200 --> 00:00:37,320
Speaker 1: about last week first before we look at you this week.

13
00:00:37,640 --> 00:00:40,320
Speaker 1: What was it like for your room, especially considering the

14
00:00:40,360 --> 00:00:43,800
Speaker 1: closest of your group, dealing emotionally with what happened to

15
00:00:43,880 --> 00:00:46,320
Speaker 1: see Kwan during that game on Sunday when you all

16
00:00:46,360 --> 00:00:48,080
Speaker 1: got back here on Monday and you kind of said,

17
00:00:48,080 --> 00:00:51,280
Speaker 1: all right, what's next? Uh, just having to move fast

18
00:00:51,440 --> 00:00:54,120
Speaker 1: transition quick. Of course, we check on our brother, make

19
00:00:54,160 --> 00:00:56,520
Speaker 1: sure he's all good, but you're at the same same time.

20
00:00:56,840 --> 00:00:59,240
Speaker 1: Kwan is that type of player, you know, he just

21
00:00:59,280 --> 00:01:00,880
Speaker 1: wants us to be a Okay, he lets us know

22
00:01:00,960 --> 00:01:02,480
Speaker 1: that he's all good, but he wants us to go

23
00:01:02,520 --> 00:01:04,480
Speaker 1: out there and just do our best. You know what

24
00:01:04,520 --> 00:01:06,720
Speaker 1: I'm saying. That's all we can really do. And you

25
00:01:06,760 --> 00:01:08,560
Speaker 1: guys have a new man in the room with you

26
00:01:08,640 --> 00:01:11,240
Speaker 1: this week. You spent a few days now with Davante Freeman.

27
00:01:11,280 --> 00:01:13,119
Speaker 1: What has it been like getting to know him and

28
00:01:13,200 --> 00:01:14,960
Speaker 1: what is he gonna bring to the football field to

29
00:01:14,959 --> 00:01:18,560
Speaker 1: help you guys compete this Sunday. Man, I've been watching

30
00:01:18,640 --> 00:01:20,320
Speaker 1: for a long time. You know, in college he was

31
00:01:20,360 --> 00:01:23,240
Speaker 1: the bat that you know with the whole Clipson Florida

32
00:01:23,280 --> 00:01:26,560
Speaker 1: State rivalry. You know, tuned into that a lot. But

33
00:01:26,760 --> 00:01:29,559
Speaker 1: you know he's a three time pro bowler. Man. Yeah,

34
00:01:29,600 --> 00:01:32,319
Speaker 1: he's just a vet, you know, someone who I can

35
00:01:32,520 --> 00:01:35,839
Speaker 1: ask questions to, someone who I can listen to whenever

36
00:01:35,880 --> 00:01:38,440
Speaker 1: I do something wrong, good or bad. You know, he's

37
00:01:38,480 --> 00:01:40,840
Speaker 1: just that guy you know you can depend on. Well,

38
00:01:40,920 --> 00:01:42,880
Speaker 1: I guess in the same way too, he's probably peppering

39
00:01:42,880 --> 00:01:44,600
Speaker 1: you with questions, right because while he has a lot

40
00:01:44,600 --> 00:01:46,920
Speaker 1: of experience in the league, he doesn't have experience in

41
00:01:47,000 --> 00:01:48,760
Speaker 1: this offense. So has it been a bit of a

42
00:01:48,760 --> 00:01:51,280
Speaker 1: give and take between you guys. Uh yeah, you know

43
00:01:51,320 --> 00:01:53,200
Speaker 1: he's as all of us questions and you know we've

44
00:01:53,200 --> 00:01:55,919
Speaker 1: been there for him. But you know he's been very quick.

45
00:01:56,120 --> 00:01:58,720
Speaker 1: He's a quick learner. You know, he hasn't had any issues.

46
00:01:59,320 --> 00:02:01,680
Speaker 1: All right, So now we're looking I guess to start

47
00:02:01,720 --> 00:02:03,360
Speaker 1: at least and we'll figure out how it goes. A

48
00:02:03,440 --> 00:02:05,680
Speaker 1: running back by committee. What's the key do you think

49
00:02:05,720 --> 00:02:08,320
Speaker 1: to the success when you have three backs in your room,

50
00:02:08,400 --> 00:02:10,600
Speaker 1: four if you want to count Eli Penny, that are

51
00:02:10,639 --> 00:02:13,520
Speaker 1: are going to try to fill a role together and

52
00:02:13,760 --> 00:02:15,400
Speaker 1: the coaching staff will try to use all of you

53
00:02:15,440 --> 00:02:18,000
Speaker 1: guys to your strengths. On Sunday when you go out

54
00:02:18,000 --> 00:02:20,280
Speaker 1: there onto the field, it's just gonna take all of

55
00:02:20,360 --> 00:02:22,880
Speaker 1: us going out there, man, doing what we need to do,

56
00:02:23,000 --> 00:02:25,200
Speaker 1: just doing our job. And you know, as long as

57
00:02:25,200 --> 00:02:27,240
Speaker 1: we do our job, we really cannot ask for nothing else.

58
00:02:27,320 --> 00:02:29,560
Speaker 1: You know, we give effort. You know, we're just gonna

59
00:02:29,560 --> 00:02:31,480
Speaker 1: try to just do our best and that's all you

60
00:02:31,520 --> 00:02:34,200
Speaker 1: can ask for. Now, you were in this opportunity last year.

61
00:02:34,200 --> 00:02:36,040
Speaker 1: You came out I think you had eighteen carries in

62
00:02:36,080 --> 00:02:38,440
Speaker 1: the in that first game after Sae Kwon's injury. Then

63
00:02:38,440 --> 00:02:40,639
Speaker 1: you unfortunately had to deal with that concussion and knock

64
00:02:40,720 --> 00:02:42,920
Speaker 1: you out for a couple of games. How excited are

65
00:02:42,960 --> 00:02:45,480
Speaker 1: you to have this opportunity now to get that on

66
00:02:45,600 --> 00:02:47,720
Speaker 1: the field and help the team win a game. I

67
00:02:47,760 --> 00:02:49,520
Speaker 1: can't tell you how excited I am. But you know,

68
00:02:49,639 --> 00:02:52,200
Speaker 1: number of our priority just doing my job and just

69
00:02:52,240 --> 00:02:53,720
Speaker 1: being the best way and going and I could be

70
00:02:53,720 --> 00:02:56,160
Speaker 1: on the field and uh, just being a good teammate.

71
00:02:56,280 --> 00:02:58,280
Speaker 1: And that's all I'm focused on. Where do you think

72
00:02:58,320 --> 00:03:00,600
Speaker 1: you've made the most progress Wayne in terms of improving

73
00:03:01,160 --> 00:03:04,840
Speaker 1: from this time last year to now? My mental uh,

74
00:03:04,919 --> 00:03:08,239
Speaker 1: my mental game. I think that's one of my biggest improvements.

75
00:03:08,240 --> 00:03:11,760
Speaker 1: And you know, just you know, we always deal with

76
00:03:11,800 --> 00:03:14,800
Speaker 1: everything in the off season, man, catching, running, whatever it is.

77
00:03:14,880 --> 00:03:16,200
Speaker 1: You know, I feel like I've been bent in a

78
00:03:16,200 --> 00:03:18,200
Speaker 1: lot of areas that you say mental game. Are you

79
00:03:18,240 --> 00:03:22,000
Speaker 1: talking to things like past protection, a mental approach, understanding

80
00:03:22,040 --> 00:03:24,560
Speaker 1: the offense? Where do you think you really progress mentally

81
00:03:24,840 --> 00:03:27,920
Speaker 1: this mental approach? Just locking in, you know, just to

82
00:03:27,960 --> 00:03:30,480
Speaker 1: be that guy, just you know, preparing like a starter,

83
00:03:30,919 --> 00:03:33,080
Speaker 1: whether it's you know, your first, second or third on

84
00:03:33,160 --> 00:03:35,960
Speaker 1: depth chart to where whoever it is. You know, that's

85
00:03:35,960 --> 00:03:39,040
Speaker 1: just a mental approach. You gotta take in any situation

86
00:03:39,120 --> 00:03:40,800
Speaker 1: just to be your best. And that's why I feel

87
00:03:40,840 --> 00:03:42,680
Speaker 1: like I've improved. Were you kind of pulling your hair

88
00:03:42,720 --> 00:03:44,800
Speaker 1: out a little bit last year? When you got out there,

89
00:03:44,800 --> 00:03:46,480
Speaker 1: you had the opportunity to get all those carries, then

90
00:03:46,520 --> 00:03:48,760
Speaker 1: the injury hit and then you had trouble making your

91
00:03:48,760 --> 00:03:51,080
Speaker 1: way back out onto the field through no fault of

92
00:03:51,120 --> 00:03:53,080
Speaker 1: your own. Was that something that was really frustrating for

93
00:03:53,080 --> 00:03:55,160
Speaker 1: you to kind of work through? Uh? Man, you know what,

94
00:03:55,280 --> 00:03:57,800
Speaker 1: things happen, and you can only control things that you

95
00:03:57,840 --> 00:04:00,040
Speaker 1: can control. And that's all I did that and to

96
00:04:00,120 --> 00:04:01,880
Speaker 1: day and that's all you really can do in life.

97
00:04:02,280 --> 00:04:04,880
Speaker 1: So uh, that's all I gotta say. Control. The control

98
00:04:05,080 --> 00:04:06,920
Speaker 1: was no doubt about it. When you guys look the

99
00:04:06,920 --> 00:04:09,120
Speaker 1: tape this week and you watch this forty Niners defense

100
00:04:09,160 --> 00:04:11,200
Speaker 1: together as a group, what did you see? And they're

101
00:04:11,200 --> 00:04:13,280
Speaker 1: a good group. Man. You know they did win the

102
00:04:13,320 --> 00:04:16,599
Speaker 1: Super Bowl last year, but you know they're just a

103
00:04:16,600 --> 00:04:21,120
Speaker 1: good overall team. Um, they're fast, quick, the linebackers pretty fast,

104
00:04:21,240 --> 00:04:24,040
Speaker 1: have a good defensive line. We just had to compare,

105
00:04:24,600 --> 00:04:26,960
Speaker 1: come and do our thing and just worry about us

106
00:04:27,200 --> 00:04:29,719
Speaker 1: and I think, well it'll take us away. Well, let's

107
00:04:29,720 --> 00:04:31,920
Speaker 1: ask about you. Then, you've been in this Jason Garrett

108
00:04:31,960 --> 00:04:33,760
Speaker 1: offense now for a couple of games. You had the

109
00:04:33,800 --> 00:04:37,720
Speaker 1: virtual offseason, no preseason games. What's your comfort comfort level

110
00:04:37,800 --> 00:04:40,160
Speaker 1: in this system in terms of what they're asking you

111
00:04:40,240 --> 00:04:42,960
Speaker 1: and the running backs to do. Uh, you know, you

112
00:04:42,960 --> 00:04:45,720
Speaker 1: can never be too comfortable, but I would say I

113
00:04:46,200 --> 00:04:48,359
Speaker 1: feel like I have a very good understanding of the offense.

114
00:04:48,400 --> 00:04:50,160
Speaker 1: That's what does all the other backs in the room

115
00:04:50,240 --> 00:04:54,080
Speaker 1: do as well? You know, Uh, each day we're taught

116
00:04:54,560 --> 00:04:59,120
Speaker 1: pretty much everything too numbers on the field to you know,

117
00:04:59,240 --> 00:05:02,280
Speaker 1: the calls we made, you know, it's it's pretty much everywhere.

118
00:05:02,320 --> 00:05:05,160
Speaker 1: So I think we all in the running back room

119
00:05:05,279 --> 00:05:07,279
Speaker 1: have a great understanding of the offense. You know when

120
00:05:07,360 --> 00:05:09,599
Speaker 1: sometimes a lot of these offenses will lock the running

121
00:05:09,600 --> 00:05:13,000
Speaker 1: game and do a specific style inside zone, outside zone,

122
00:05:13,240 --> 00:05:15,680
Speaker 1: whatever the case might be for that particular scheme. But

123
00:05:15,760 --> 00:05:17,960
Speaker 1: watching Jason Garrett over the years and watching you guys

124
00:05:17,960 --> 00:05:19,960
Speaker 1: are early this season, it seems like they really mixing

125
00:05:20,000 --> 00:05:22,240
Speaker 1: a lot of stuff. They mix in power, they're mixing

126
00:05:22,279 --> 00:05:25,920
Speaker 1: the pulling guard, they mixing outside inside zone. What does

127
00:05:25,960 --> 00:05:28,200
Speaker 1: that do for a running back where you have to

128
00:05:28,200 --> 00:05:30,159
Speaker 1: know how to execute all these different schemes, but at

129
00:05:30,200 --> 00:05:33,039
Speaker 1: the same time, it gives you flexibility to maybe attack

130
00:05:33,080 --> 00:05:35,720
Speaker 1: an opponent's weakness weekend, week out since you are comfortable

131
00:05:35,760 --> 00:05:38,159
Speaker 1: doing a lot of different things. Uh man, it's just

132
00:05:38,200 --> 00:05:40,760
Speaker 1: another play call. You know. As a back, as long

133
00:05:40,800 --> 00:05:42,479
Speaker 1: as we get the ball, we've gotta know what to

134
00:05:42,480 --> 00:05:44,200
Speaker 1: do with it. You know, that's what we're used for.

135
00:05:44,360 --> 00:05:47,839
Speaker 1: So just coming in prepared, you know, getting prepared throughout

136
00:05:47,839 --> 00:05:50,359
Speaker 1: the week, just making sure you know your keys, know

137
00:05:50,440 --> 00:05:53,760
Speaker 1: who's getting blocked, know where this guy's going or that

138
00:05:53,800 --> 00:05:56,440
Speaker 1: guy's going, just doing what needs to be done, just

139
00:05:56,480 --> 00:05:59,279
Speaker 1: doing your job. How much is it for the running

140
00:05:59,320 --> 00:06:02,680
Speaker 1: backs to gain chemistry with the offensive one? Everyone talks

141
00:06:02,680 --> 00:06:05,760
Speaker 1: about the offensive on gaming gaining chemistry within that group,

142
00:06:06,120 --> 00:06:09,320
Speaker 1: But for you guys understanding the pace that they're gonna

143
00:06:09,360 --> 00:06:12,200
Speaker 1: play at where the holes might open to really get

144
00:06:12,240 --> 00:06:15,479
Speaker 1: this running game going a little bit, it pretty much

145
00:06:15,520 --> 00:06:18,200
Speaker 1: just goes to practice. You know, you do all those

146
00:06:18,240 --> 00:06:20,479
Speaker 1: things in practice, and you build that chemistry over the

147
00:06:20,480 --> 00:06:22,880
Speaker 1: weeks and weeks and weeks that you you know, are

148
00:06:22,920 --> 00:06:26,360
Speaker 1: doing pretty much the same thing and overall, you know,

149
00:06:26,400 --> 00:06:30,120
Speaker 1: you just build that based chemistry just being just being there,

150
00:06:30,240 --> 00:06:32,760
Speaker 1: you know, what I'm saying, there's really no way, no

151
00:06:32,839 --> 00:06:34,760
Speaker 1: other way to put it. So when you look at

152
00:06:34,800 --> 00:06:36,680
Speaker 1: your running game the first couple of weeks as a team,

153
00:06:36,680 --> 00:06:39,600
Speaker 1: it's a group effort. It's the backs, it's the offensive line,

154
00:06:39,640 --> 00:06:42,000
Speaker 1: it's the tight ends, as the receivers, everyone that's blocking.

155
00:06:42,240 --> 00:06:44,599
Speaker 1: What needs to happen for the New York Football Giants

156
00:06:44,600 --> 00:06:46,600
Speaker 1: to get this running game going this week against the

157
00:06:46,640 --> 00:06:49,320
Speaker 1: forty Niners. Man, we just got to go in there

158
00:06:49,760 --> 00:06:54,040
Speaker 1: beat us, trust what we do, um, just our keys

159
00:06:54,720 --> 00:06:56,960
Speaker 1: and really just trusting each other, and I think that

160
00:06:57,040 --> 00:06:59,919
Speaker 1: will take us all the way. We mentioned the Footing

161
00:07:00,000 --> 00:07:02,640
Speaker 1: Honors earlier. I'm sure you've gotten a bunch of questions

162
00:07:02,680 --> 00:07:05,520
Speaker 1: about all the injuries they have on defense, But if

163
00:07:05,560 --> 00:07:07,839
Speaker 1: you look at that tape against Jets last week, even

164
00:07:07,880 --> 00:07:10,560
Speaker 1: after they had those injuries, they still play really good

165
00:07:10,600 --> 00:07:13,680
Speaker 1: fundamental football. What is it about their scheme and the

166
00:07:13,680 --> 00:07:15,920
Speaker 1: way they execute that scheme that makes them difficult to

167
00:07:15,960 --> 00:07:18,640
Speaker 1: deal with? Uh? They just have good talent all across

168
00:07:18,640 --> 00:07:21,480
Speaker 1: the board. You know, their linebackers are pretty fast, they

169
00:07:21,480 --> 00:07:24,040
Speaker 1: have a good strike first and like I said earlier,

170
00:07:24,040 --> 00:07:26,640
Speaker 1: their defensive line is one of the best in the league. Uh.

171
00:07:26,720 --> 00:07:29,080
Speaker 1: We just gotta come ready, man and just do us.

172
00:07:30,040 --> 00:07:32,160
Speaker 1: It will be fine. And as players, you you you

173
00:07:32,200 --> 00:07:34,560
Speaker 1: can't listen to that talk about all they're banged up.

174
00:07:34,800 --> 00:07:36,720
Speaker 1: The guys aren't there. You guys can't worry about any

175
00:07:36,680 --> 00:07:38,840
Speaker 1: of that stuff, right, of course not when you look

176
00:07:38,840 --> 00:07:41,760
Speaker 1: at their linebackers. You mentioned the speed, Fred Warner, Kwan

177
00:07:41,800 --> 00:07:45,560
Speaker 1: Alexander very good football players. When you look at linebackers

178
00:07:45,600 --> 00:07:47,880
Speaker 1: with speed as a running back is do you look

179
00:07:47,920 --> 00:07:49,280
Speaker 1: at them and say, all right, maybe we go down

180
00:07:49,320 --> 00:07:51,440
Speaker 1: hill a little bit. You don't want them ask those

181
00:07:51,480 --> 00:07:54,040
Speaker 1: guys to go sideline to sil and that's your strength.

182
00:07:54,640 --> 00:07:56,160
Speaker 1: What is the goal for you when you're going against

183
00:07:56,160 --> 00:07:59,240
Speaker 1: linebackers that speed is really the thing that is their

184
00:07:59,280 --> 00:08:02,520
Speaker 1: major strength. Uh, you really just want to be more

185
00:08:02,840 --> 00:08:05,440
Speaker 1: in tune with your offensive line, knowing where the blocks

186
00:08:05,480 --> 00:08:07,600
Speaker 1: are gonna be, knowing with who the blocks are gonna

187
00:08:07,640 --> 00:08:10,640
Speaker 1: go to, and who's pressing you know what I'm saying. Yeah,

188
00:08:10,680 --> 00:08:14,800
Speaker 1: it's really just about being patient pressing your blocks and

189
00:08:14,880 --> 00:08:17,120
Speaker 1: just reading out the right way and just being physical.

190
00:08:17,280 --> 00:08:19,720
Speaker 1: It's gonna be a physical game and we just got

191
00:08:19,720 --> 00:08:21,600
Speaker 1: to bring it. We had Joe Judge in her a

192
00:08:21,640 --> 00:08:23,720
Speaker 1: second ago. We talked about how he kind of handles

193
00:08:23,720 --> 00:08:26,440
Speaker 1: his film room sessions after these games a week and

194
00:08:26,480 --> 00:08:29,000
Speaker 1: week out way, I asked Darius this last week, what

195
00:08:29,080 --> 00:08:32,240
Speaker 1: are those films sessions like with the coaching staff after

196
00:08:32,320 --> 00:08:35,160
Speaker 1: a game? Joe Judge phrase it to us as being

197
00:08:35,200 --> 00:08:37,840
Speaker 1: brutally honest from a player's perspective, What is it like

198
00:08:37,840 --> 00:08:39,640
Speaker 1: when you sit down with coach Judge and you're running

199
00:08:39,640 --> 00:08:42,040
Speaker 1: back coach Burton Burns go through the film to try

200
00:08:42,040 --> 00:08:44,600
Speaker 1: to make the corrections you have to make after each week.

201
00:08:45,200 --> 00:08:48,559
Speaker 1: It's pretty good, I would say, Um, you know, criticism

202
00:08:48,640 --> 00:08:51,280
Speaker 1: is always good because it makes you better as a player. Uh,

203
00:08:51,400 --> 00:08:52,920
Speaker 1: lets you know what you need to work on, let

204
00:08:53,000 --> 00:08:55,040
Speaker 1: you know what you gotta work on that week, and

205
00:08:55,120 --> 00:08:57,840
Speaker 1: most importantly, just to know that you know, you know

206
00:08:57,920 --> 00:09:01,760
Speaker 1: in the future what you want to prevent. If that

207
00:09:01,800 --> 00:09:04,520
Speaker 1: makes sense, No, it doesn't, I guess I imagine for

208
00:09:04,520 --> 00:09:06,720
Speaker 1: you guys, it's key that none of the stuff is personal, right,

209
00:09:06,720 --> 00:09:08,439
Speaker 1: It's just a matter of playing better on the field

210
00:09:08,559 --> 00:09:11,200
Speaker 1: exactly because as a team you can't take things personal,

211
00:09:11,640 --> 00:09:14,480
Speaker 1: you know, Uh, not just the coaches, but as teammates.

212
00:09:14,559 --> 00:09:17,000
Speaker 1: We all are very critical of each other, you know.

213
00:09:17,040 --> 00:09:19,680
Speaker 1: I was just telling Ivanta and uh Dion. You know,

214
00:09:20,520 --> 00:09:23,440
Speaker 1: if you see me doing something, correct me. You know,

215
00:09:23,600 --> 00:09:25,800
Speaker 1: it's as simple as that. We all depend on each

216
00:09:25,800 --> 00:09:28,040
Speaker 1: other and that's why we're you know, that's what the

217
00:09:28,080 --> 00:09:31,040
Speaker 1: team is. What's the sense of urgency right now? Wigned

218
00:09:31,080 --> 00:09:33,080
Speaker 1: ohen too. Obviously no one wants to fall into an

219
00:09:33,120 --> 00:09:35,880
Speaker 1: oh and three hole heading into this week. What's been

220
00:09:35,920 --> 00:09:38,079
Speaker 1: the message from the coaches and more importantly, what have

221
00:09:38,160 --> 00:09:40,760
Speaker 1: the players been like talking to each other making sure

222
00:09:40,760 --> 00:09:42,960
Speaker 1: you out there and you bring your A level performance

223
00:09:43,000 --> 00:09:47,520
Speaker 1: on Sunday? Are our preparation hasn't changed. We go out there,

224
00:09:47,920 --> 00:09:50,720
Speaker 1: We're still preparing the same way. Of course, you know

225
00:09:50,760 --> 00:09:52,439
Speaker 1: the approach will be different every week as it is

226
00:09:52,480 --> 00:09:55,199
Speaker 1: for a different team. But you know, we keep our base,

227
00:09:55,960 --> 00:09:59,520
Speaker 1: our base fundamentals base, if that makes sense. We're just

228
00:09:59,559 --> 00:10:02,040
Speaker 1: gonna keep on doing what we've been doing. You know,

229
00:10:02,080 --> 00:10:04,200
Speaker 1: we trust what we're doing, We trust our players and

230
00:10:04,760 --> 00:10:06,240
Speaker 1: just gonna go out there and play our best game.

231
00:10:06,360 --> 00:10:10,080
Speaker 1: Final question, Wayne, does home field advantage exists anymore? I

232
00:10:10,080 --> 00:10:13,120
Speaker 1: know you've only had one so far this year on

233
00:10:13,160 --> 00:10:16,360
Speaker 1: Monday Night to start the year. There's no crowd, but

234
00:10:16,559 --> 00:10:18,839
Speaker 1: you're in the building that you know you're comfortable with.

235
00:10:19,640 --> 00:10:21,480
Speaker 1: Is there such thing as home field advantage in this

236
00:10:21,640 --> 00:10:26,079
Speaker 1: COVID error in uh? I would safe for me personally,

237
00:10:26,160 --> 00:10:27,880
Speaker 1: I don't think so. You know, you're just going in

238
00:10:28,080 --> 00:10:30,559
Speaker 1: and as long as you focus are playing. Man, you

239
00:10:30,679 --> 00:10:33,280
Speaker 1: just focused on doing your job. I think you're fine.

240
00:10:33,480 --> 00:10:36,360
Speaker 1: You know, whether it's turf, grass, whatever, you know. I

241
00:10:36,520 --> 00:10:39,080
Speaker 1: just think you're going there and you do your thing

242
00:10:39,200 --> 00:10:41,839
Speaker 1: and you're focus. Everything should be fine and play out

243
00:10:41,880 --> 00:10:43,600
Speaker 1: the way it should be. You're basically just treating it

244
00:10:43,640 --> 00:10:45,439
Speaker 1: like a practice, right when you have no crowd there

245
00:10:45,480 --> 00:10:47,800
Speaker 1: cheering you on. Type of deal. Uh you could say

246
00:10:47,800 --> 00:10:51,240
Speaker 1: that finally you actually you mentioned the turf. So I'll

247
00:10:51,280 --> 00:10:53,320
Speaker 1: just ask you one quick one. The forty niner has

248
00:10:53,320 --> 00:10:54,960
Speaker 1: made a big deal about the turf against the Jets

249
00:10:55,080 --> 00:10:57,319
Speaker 1: last week. You guys are on that field for a

250
00:10:57,360 --> 00:10:59,800
Speaker 1: couple of scrimmage. You walk through there every week during

251
00:10:59,800 --> 00:11:02,760
Speaker 1: this I haven't heard anything about it. Negative you play

252
00:11:02,840 --> 00:11:05,120
Speaker 1: that first game against the Steelers, they had one injury,

253
00:11:05,120 --> 00:11:07,200
Speaker 1: but the guy got rolled on. It happens that happens

254
00:11:07,240 --> 00:11:13,000
Speaker 1: in the NFL. From your perspective, turfs fine, uh man.

255
00:11:13,240 --> 00:11:16,559
Speaker 1: Every every player has their own personal perspective. Man, and

256
00:11:17,080 --> 00:11:21,080
Speaker 1: you know how I take it. It is what it is. Bad, good,

257
00:11:22,440 --> 00:11:26,040
Speaker 1: rainy don't really matter. Man. You just gotta go out

258
00:11:26,040 --> 00:11:27,600
Speaker 1: there and just do the best that you can and

259
00:11:27,800 --> 00:11:30,360
Speaker 1: protect yourself. I imagine having the right shoes on is

260
00:11:30,400 --> 00:11:33,760
Speaker 1: important to write depending on the surface you're on. Wayne,

261
00:11:33,800 --> 00:11:36,240
Speaker 1: good stuff, my friend. I appreciate it. Best of luck

262
