1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:02,440
Speaker 1: Kobe, how are you today? I'm good. How about your month?

2
00:00:02,840 --> 00:00:05,080
Speaker 1: I'm doing really well. Yeah, good to talk with yours.

3
00:00:05,080 --> 00:00:09,080
Speaker 1: I always appreciate it. Sort of cool. Julian is going

4
00:00:09,119 --> 00:00:13,200
Speaker 1: to get honored at halftime. Very cool. Honestly, I'm happy

5
00:00:13,240 --> 00:00:17,000
Speaker 1: for him. I was thinking maybe just to share, what

6
00:00:17,400 --> 00:00:20,480
Speaker 1: did you take from him? You know, m what did

7
00:00:20,480 --> 00:00:22,080
Speaker 1: you you know from way he did it that you've

8
00:00:22,079 --> 00:00:25,000
Speaker 1: applied to yourself. I'm a lot honestly. I felt he

9
00:00:25,040 --> 00:00:26,840
Speaker 1: was a great role out of the half personally. I mean,

10
00:00:26,880 --> 00:00:29,080
Speaker 1: there are some things you kind of gotta bleep out

11
00:00:29,080 --> 00:00:31,320
Speaker 1: a little bit here and there, But just the way

12
00:00:31,320 --> 00:00:33,519
Speaker 1: he was a professional, the way he attacked every day,

13
00:00:33,800 --> 00:00:35,800
Speaker 1: came in, tried to be his best self every day,

14
00:00:36,000 --> 00:00:38,440
Speaker 1: the way he fought every day and earned every single

15
00:00:38,479 --> 00:00:41,120
Speaker 1: thing he was given. So definitely a lot to learn

16
00:00:41,120 --> 00:00:42,440
Speaker 1: from Jewels and a lot that I want to keep

17
00:00:42,479 --> 00:00:55,320
Speaker 1: around in my game and you let every day. Next question,

18
00:00:55,360 --> 00:00:58,440
Speaker 1: Evan Lazza, Hey, j Kobe, how are you doing? I'm

19
00:00:58,480 --> 00:01:01,240
Speaker 1: good about you good? Thanks? I just wanted to ask you.

20
00:01:01,240 --> 00:01:04,080
Speaker 1: You know, obviously the red zone offense hasn't been what

21
00:01:04,120 --> 00:01:05,679
Speaker 1: you guys have wanted it to be for the first

22
00:01:05,680 --> 00:01:08,360
Speaker 1: two games of the season. So what is the biggest

23
00:01:08,400 --> 00:01:11,000
Speaker 1: thing that you see that you know could change or

24
00:01:11,040 --> 00:01:13,600
Speaker 1: you guys are trying to work on to get that going.

25
00:01:14,640 --> 00:01:16,400
Speaker 1: I think everybody do their job to the best of

26
00:01:16,440 --> 00:01:19,360
Speaker 1: their ability. You know, there's not particularly one guy who's

27
00:01:19,360 --> 00:01:21,639
Speaker 1: messing up everything or one play call that's not working.

28
00:01:21,720 --> 00:01:24,279
Speaker 1: You know, it's just we need everybody on the same page,

29
00:01:24,360 --> 00:01:26,440
Speaker 1: executing to the best of their ability. And when the

30
00:01:26,480 --> 00:01:28,600
Speaker 1: time coming to come, you know, those guys get paid

31
00:01:28,600 --> 00:01:30,480
Speaker 1: to to make plays on the other side of the ball. So,

32
00:01:31,200 --> 00:01:32,680
Speaker 1: like I said, we go out there, do our job

33
00:01:32,720 --> 00:01:36,399
Speaker 1: and off all through. We're talking to Coach Belichick earlier

34
00:01:36,400 --> 00:01:39,199
Speaker 1: and he just mentioned that, you know, you've been able

35
00:01:39,240 --> 00:01:42,600
Speaker 1: to develop both as an inside receiver and an outside receiver,

36
00:01:42,720 --> 00:01:47,039
Speaker 1: and I was just curious, how different is it developing

37
00:01:47,080 --> 00:01:50,240
Speaker 1: on the inside versus the outside, and how much of

38
00:01:50,280 --> 00:01:52,360
Speaker 1: a change is that, you know, the kind of get

39
00:01:52,440 --> 00:01:56,080
Speaker 1: used to. I would say the inside for me personally,

40
00:01:56,160 --> 00:01:58,040
Speaker 1: is a little more dangerous. You know, you crossed the

41
00:01:58,080 --> 00:02:01,080
Speaker 1: middle of a lot. I mean it's danger At the

42
00:02:01,080 --> 00:02:03,160
Speaker 1: same time, it can be really rewarding because once you

43
00:02:03,200 --> 00:02:05,000
Speaker 1: find spaces, you got a lot of room to run.

44
00:02:05,080 --> 00:02:08,200
Speaker 1: The sideline isn't there to help the defense, so you

45
00:02:08,200 --> 00:02:10,040
Speaker 1: gotta keep your hand on Swip on the outside. You

46
00:02:10,120 --> 00:02:12,880
Speaker 1: got to be able to know how to get open

47
00:02:13,000 --> 00:02:15,160
Speaker 1: fighting against the dB and the sideline, so you kind

48
00:02:15,160 --> 00:02:18,160
Speaker 1: of double teamed on every play in my opinion. So yeah,

49
00:02:18,160 --> 00:02:19,840
Speaker 1: I mean, once you figure out which way you want

50
00:02:19,840 --> 00:02:21,680
Speaker 1: to get open and what type of techniques you want

51
00:02:21,680 --> 00:02:25,000
Speaker 1: to use, like you kind of pretty much handle everything

52
00:02:25,000 --> 00:02:32,280
Speaker 1: you need. Thanks for Kobe. Next question that please, Adrian Kobe.

53
00:02:32,280 --> 00:02:34,720
Speaker 1: How are you? I'm good? How about you? Good? Good

54
00:02:34,720 --> 00:02:37,200
Speaker 1: to see you. So yeah, we talked to Josh McDaniels

55
00:02:37,240 --> 00:02:40,040
Speaker 1: the other day and we asked him more not really

56
00:02:40,080 --> 00:02:42,840
Speaker 1: about the reds on offense, but about maybe pushing it

57
00:02:42,919 --> 00:02:46,160
Speaker 1: down the field, deeper down the field more than we've seen,

58
00:02:46,440 --> 00:02:48,240
Speaker 1: and he said, basically, there's a lot of different things

59
00:02:48,280 --> 00:02:50,000
Speaker 1: that go into that, and one of them is just

60
00:02:50,040 --> 00:02:52,280
Speaker 1: seeing what the coverage is giving you and knowing whether

61
00:02:52,320 --> 00:02:55,600
Speaker 1: there's an opportunity for you. So I'm just curious how

62
00:02:55,680 --> 00:02:58,240
Speaker 1: much responsibility do you put on yourself as a receiver

63
00:02:58,400 --> 00:03:01,480
Speaker 1: to know when the defense is giving you that sort

64
00:03:01,520 --> 00:03:06,119
Speaker 1: of opportunity. I'm a lot you know, you never really

65
00:03:06,120 --> 00:03:08,680
Speaker 1: know when your number would be called. So every opportunity

66
00:03:08,720 --> 00:03:10,760
Speaker 1: I have to make a play down the field. If

67
00:03:10,800 --> 00:03:12,240
Speaker 1: he does trust me to put the ball in the

68
00:03:12,280 --> 00:03:13,920
Speaker 1: air of my way, I gotta go out there and

69
00:03:13,919 --> 00:03:15,800
Speaker 1: make that play. Hopefully they get the ball rolling and

70
00:03:16,080 --> 00:03:18,880
Speaker 1: make them want to call plays again. But like he said,

71
00:03:18,960 --> 00:03:20,800
Speaker 1: you never really It's a lot that goes into pushing

72
00:03:20,840 --> 00:03:22,560
Speaker 1: the ball down the field, and I feel like it's

73
00:03:22,600 --> 00:03:24,520
Speaker 1: one of those things that can't be forced. So when

74
00:03:24,520 --> 00:03:26,919
Speaker 1: the time is right, it'll happened. And when it's not right,

75
00:03:27,320 --> 00:03:29,840
Speaker 1: we got to find out how to win other ways.

76
00:03:29,840 --> 00:03:32,760
Speaker 1: Sort of along those lines. Obviously, MaTx Young, he's only

77
00:03:32,800 --> 00:03:35,160
Speaker 1: played two games, So do you put any on us

78
00:03:35,200 --> 00:03:37,880
Speaker 1: on yourself that when you see maybe that there was

79
00:03:37,920 --> 00:03:40,960
Speaker 1: an opportunity that wasn't that wasn't taking advantage of. Do

80
00:03:40,960 --> 00:03:42,880
Speaker 1: you talk to him during the game, say maybe we

81
00:03:42,960 --> 00:03:45,200
Speaker 1: saw something out there that maybe we can take advantage

82
00:03:45,200 --> 00:03:47,400
Speaker 1: of next time, or is that something that you sort

83
00:03:47,440 --> 00:03:49,800
Speaker 1: of wait till the next day, go through the film

84
00:03:49,800 --> 00:03:53,040
Speaker 1: and just focus on what's in front of you. Personally,

85
00:03:53,040 --> 00:03:54,640
Speaker 1: I don't feel like it's my job to tell him

86
00:03:54,800 --> 00:03:57,440
Speaker 1: what I see or exactly what he should have done.

87
00:03:57,560 --> 00:03:59,760
Speaker 1: I feel like I'm the type of player who wants

88
00:03:59,760 --> 00:04:02,120
Speaker 1: to know what he's thinking at all times. So if

89
00:04:02,120 --> 00:04:03,920
Speaker 1: you just tell me what he saw them play and

90
00:04:04,120 --> 00:04:06,880
Speaker 1: I can adjust. I mean, I'm adaptable. So just figuring

91
00:04:06,920 --> 00:04:08,680
Speaker 1: out what it is that's going through his head and

92
00:04:09,080 --> 00:04:10,920
Speaker 1: where he wants me to be when he wants me

93
00:04:10,960 --> 00:04:13,160
Speaker 1: to be there, and just helping him out as best

94
00:04:13,200 --> 00:04:15,000
Speaker 1: as I can, because I mean I've been in those shoes.

95
00:04:15,040 --> 00:04:17,000
Speaker 1: I mean not with that type of pressure, but I've

96
00:04:17,040 --> 00:04:19,360
Speaker 1: been young trying to play and trying to figure it out.

97
00:04:19,360 --> 00:04:20,800
Speaker 1: So just trying to help him out as best as

98
00:04:20,800 --> 00:04:27,039
Speaker 1: I can. Cool, Thank you. Next question, it's Koby helped

99
00:04:27,040 --> 00:04:29,520
Speaker 1: ball as well as you. As you look out at

100
00:04:29,600 --> 00:04:32,920
Speaker 1: the Saints defense, what do you what do you see?

101
00:04:32,960 --> 00:04:36,800
Speaker 1: What kind of defines them and what it has impressed

102
00:04:36,839 --> 00:04:41,040
Speaker 1: you experienced? Toughness and talent. Honestly, they got guys who

103
00:04:41,080 --> 00:04:43,479
Speaker 1: are high paid guys for a reason, guys who've been

104
00:04:43,480 --> 00:04:45,080
Speaker 1: in the league for a long time for a reason.

105
00:04:45,160 --> 00:04:47,320
Speaker 1: You know, they all play well together. They got some

106
00:04:47,360 --> 00:04:49,039
Speaker 1: guys who talk to you, some guys who will be

107
00:04:49,080 --> 00:04:51,920
Speaker 1: quiet and just silently covered. So I feel like that's

108
00:04:51,960 --> 00:04:54,920
Speaker 1: definitely a well balanced defensive unit and we got to

109
00:04:54,960 --> 00:04:56,640
Speaker 1: go out there and execute to the best of our ability.

110
00:04:56,680 --> 00:04:59,040
Speaker 1: That's a good team in total. So we go out

111
00:04:59,080 --> 00:05:00,920
Speaker 1: there and do with the coaches co to do all week,

112
00:05:01,160 --> 00:05:03,960
Speaker 1: execute everything, and make sure we pay attentional a little details,

113
00:05:03,960 --> 00:05:07,080
Speaker 1: we'll be Okay. You a guy that likes to engage

114
00:05:07,120 --> 00:05:09,560
Speaker 1: if somebody's If somebody's talking, and you're gonna give it

115
00:05:09,600 --> 00:05:11,800
Speaker 1: back to them or you're gonna give it back to him.

116
00:05:11,839 --> 00:05:15,240
Speaker 1: How you play? What's the church mouth on the field?

117
00:05:15,360 --> 00:05:18,560
Speaker 1: I've had I've had different personalities on the field. I

118
00:05:18,640 --> 00:05:20,120
Speaker 1: used to be a little talker, but now I'm just

119
00:05:20,160 --> 00:05:23,560
Speaker 1: more of a calm down, be quiet, make sure I

120
00:05:23,600 --> 00:05:25,520
Speaker 1: got enough energy to run the next play type of guys.

121
00:05:26,400 --> 00:05:28,920
Speaker 1: But even church mouth can work. You pick your sponsor

122
00:05:29,000 --> 00:05:31,480
Speaker 1: right exactly, you know. I mean it might come out

123
00:05:31,480 --> 00:05:32,880
Speaker 1: here and there, but if you see that, I mean,

124
00:05:33,040 --> 00:05:34,479
Speaker 1: I don't know what's going on at that time. That

125
00:05:34,560 --> 00:05:36,440
Speaker 1: just came out of nowhere. So but normally I'm just

126
00:05:36,520 --> 00:05:39,760
Speaker 1: a focus on something else. Make sure I'm handing my responsibility.

127
00:05:41,560 --> 00:05:51,039
Speaker 1: M The next question, like, ay, good to see it.

128
00:05:51,680 --> 00:05:54,039
Speaker 1: Yesterday Jules said, when you first got in you could

129
00:05:54,160 --> 00:05:55,960
Speaker 1: you know see the potential you had was just kind

130
00:05:56,000 --> 00:05:57,919
Speaker 1: of the mental part of the game. Last year, I

131
00:05:57,920 --> 00:05:59,520
Speaker 1: know you said as a rookie, you're kind of swimming

132
00:05:59,560 --> 00:06:02,520
Speaker 1: in it. You got improvement last year of curious in

133
00:06:02,600 --> 00:06:05,040
Speaker 1: year three, you know, how is your processing of all

134
00:06:05,120 --> 00:06:07,280
Speaker 1: this pre snap and everything when you get up there?

135
00:06:07,920 --> 00:06:09,839
Speaker 1: Is your mind a lot more calm? And in year three,

136
00:06:09,880 --> 00:06:11,880
Speaker 1: what's that jumping like? From year two to year three,

137
00:06:12,920 --> 00:06:15,280
Speaker 1: I'm a lot more confident. And that's honestly something Jewles

138
00:06:15,320 --> 00:06:17,920
Speaker 1: will talk to me about. When I first got here.

139
00:06:17,960 --> 00:06:19,680
Speaker 1: He will always tell me he saw the talent that

140
00:06:19,720 --> 00:06:21,200
Speaker 1: I had, and he saw that I can make plays,

141
00:06:21,240 --> 00:06:23,320
Speaker 1: but he would just feel like there was times where

142
00:06:23,320 --> 00:06:24,839
Speaker 1: he didn't see the confidence in me to go out

143
00:06:24,839 --> 00:06:27,360
Speaker 1: there and perform to the best of my ability, which

144
00:06:27,360 --> 00:06:30,280
Speaker 1: he saw. So here in year three, I feel like

145
00:06:30,279 --> 00:06:33,000
Speaker 1: I'm a lot more confident. I understand the playbook a

146
00:06:33,000 --> 00:06:35,160
Speaker 1: lot better, I know my teammates a lot better, and

147
00:06:35,200 --> 00:06:36,640
Speaker 1: I just feel like I can do a lot more

148
00:06:36,640 --> 00:06:39,000
Speaker 1: to help this team. Does it help you at all

149
00:06:39,040 --> 00:06:41,000
Speaker 1: when you're kind of trying to relay it to other

150
00:06:41,200 --> 00:06:43,160
Speaker 1: receivers in your room or new players, maybe trying to

151
00:06:43,200 --> 00:06:46,440
Speaker 1: explain stuff, Does that help you maybe even understand it

152
00:06:46,480 --> 00:06:48,800
Speaker 1: a little bit better. Oh yeah, definitely, definitely. I mean

153
00:06:49,360 --> 00:06:50,599
Speaker 1: you got to be able to learn to be a

154
00:06:50,600 --> 00:06:52,760
Speaker 1: good teacher, you know. So as long as I'm still learning,

155
00:06:52,839 --> 00:06:54,599
Speaker 1: if I really know what I'm doing, I can't take

156
00:06:54,680 --> 00:06:57,120
Speaker 1: I can't teach them, So helping them and talking to

157
00:06:57,200 --> 00:06:59,640
Speaker 1: them they might see something. Because guys like Nelly, he's

158
00:06:59,640 --> 00:07:01,960
Speaker 1: been a round the game for a long time, different teams,

159
00:07:01,960 --> 00:07:04,480
Speaker 1: so he'll give me advice to and I tell him

160
00:07:04,520 --> 00:07:06,440
Speaker 1: what I see from my patriot eye to the stone

161
00:07:06,440 --> 00:07:09,000
Speaker 1: place I've been. So we definitely all bounced our jis

162
00:07:09,040 --> 00:07:10,560
Speaker 1: off of each other and work well with each other.

163
00:07:10,600 --> 00:07:13,320
Speaker 1: And there's been a fun group to work with. Thanks

164
00:07:13,320 --> 00:07:22,360
Speaker 1: for Koby. Next question, Zachary coups Hey, Kobe, kind of

165
00:07:22,360 --> 00:07:26,600
Speaker 1: along those same lines. I was just curious if there

166
00:07:26,600 --> 00:07:30,440
Speaker 1: was a specific moment in your career where you kind

167
00:07:30,440 --> 00:07:34,880
Speaker 1: of gained that confidence that like, Okay, I can compete

168
00:07:34,880 --> 00:07:37,360
Speaker 1: in this league, I can I can play with these

169
00:07:37,560 --> 00:07:41,880
Speaker 1: these NFL players. Was there any kind of specific light

170
00:07:41,920 --> 00:07:44,960
Speaker 1: switch moment like that for you? Um, I always felt

171
00:07:44,960 --> 00:07:47,240
Speaker 1: like I could play, but I wasn't confident as far

172
00:07:47,320 --> 00:07:50,600
Speaker 1: as executing my responsibility, if that makes sense. Well, I

173
00:07:50,640 --> 00:07:52,360
Speaker 1: knew what type of talent I had and what kind

174
00:07:52,360 --> 00:07:54,640
Speaker 1: of player I was, but as far as going out

175
00:07:54,680 --> 00:07:56,440
Speaker 1: there and doing the right thing when the team needed me,

176
00:07:56,560 --> 00:07:59,400
Speaker 1: that one took a little bit longer. So day one

177
00:07:59,440 --> 00:08:01,000
Speaker 1: I felt like I was good enough. It just it

178
00:08:01,080 --> 00:08:03,800
Speaker 1: took a lot longer to be like, you know what

179
00:08:03,840 --> 00:08:06,320
Speaker 1: you're doing. If the coaches just put you in any situation,

180
00:08:06,360 --> 00:08:07,760
Speaker 1: you can go out there and make that for happen.

181
00:08:08,760 --> 00:08:12,400
Speaker 1: When do you feel like that finally kicked in for you? Um?

182
00:08:12,440 --> 00:08:15,360
Speaker 1: I would say halfway through the season last year, because

183
00:08:15,440 --> 00:08:17,760
Speaker 1: I mean I wasn't necessarily playing the most, so it

184
00:08:17,800 --> 00:08:20,080
Speaker 1: gave me time to just pay attention and just learn

185
00:08:20,240 --> 00:08:23,240
Speaker 1: and watching. When my time was called, I feel like

186
00:08:23,280 --> 00:08:24,800
Speaker 1: I was actually ready to go out there and play

187
00:08:24,880 --> 00:08:27,320
Speaker 1: because I've been paying attention and just taking so many

188
00:08:27,400 --> 00:08:30,960
Speaker 1: practice reps and mental reps during the games last year.

189
00:08:30,960 --> 00:08:36,240
Speaker 1: Half through the season for sure. Great. Thank you, all right,

190
00:08:36,280 --> 00:08:39,840
Speaker 1: Thank you so much to Kobe. Next up, next,
