1
00:00:00,400 --> 00:00:03,920
Speaker 1: Stepha, How was the mini by mentally for you guys,

2
00:00:03,960 --> 00:00:06,880
Speaker 1: and what's the key to getting picking up right where

3
00:00:06,920 --> 00:00:07,720
Speaker 1: you left off this week?

4
00:00:07,960 --> 00:00:11,200
Speaker 2: I think it was right on time, exactly what everybody needed.

5
00:00:11,280 --> 00:00:14,080
Speaker 2: A little I guess, a little taste of a bye.

6
00:00:14,120 --> 00:00:16,960
Speaker 2: I guess because we all want coming up. I think soon. Uh,

7
00:00:17,160 --> 00:00:18,600
Speaker 2: the biggest thing is to get back roll and get

8
00:00:18,600 --> 00:00:21,760
Speaker 2: back moving around, trying to keep keep the main thing,

9
00:00:21,800 --> 00:00:22,239
Speaker 2: the main thing.

10
00:00:22,320 --> 00:00:23,680
Speaker 3: You know, obviously coming off a.

11
00:00:25,239 --> 00:00:27,280
Speaker 2: Nice little buye and a nice win on Thursday, it

12
00:00:27,280 --> 00:00:28,640
Speaker 2: was a very show week for a lot of people,

13
00:00:28,680 --> 00:00:31,160
Speaker 2: So trying to get back, get back in gear, get

14
00:00:31,160 --> 00:00:32,560
Speaker 2: back healthy for a lot of guys. You know, we

15
00:00:32,600 --> 00:00:35,000
Speaker 2: got some guys banged up, so it's gonna be fun.

16
00:00:35,040 --> 00:00:35,760
Speaker 2: It's gonna be a good.

17
00:00:35,640 --> 00:00:38,640
Speaker 4: Week after Thursday Night football.

18
00:00:39,200 --> 00:00:42,519
Speaker 1: Mike able that Drake was a big part of the

19
00:00:42,560 --> 00:00:45,440
Speaker 1: reason why he decided to come here. How much did

20
00:00:45,920 --> 00:00:49,040
Speaker 1: Drake play into your decision and free agency there?

21
00:00:49,600 --> 00:00:51,920
Speaker 2: I feel like it was it was like a conglomerate,

22
00:00:51,960 --> 00:00:56,480
Speaker 2: I guess, quarterback, A young quarterback, show some promise, show

23
00:00:56,560 --> 00:00:59,920
Speaker 2: some skill set, can throw the ball, is mobile being young,

24
00:01:00,040 --> 00:01:02,720
Speaker 2: But then also McDaniel's he's been around the game for

25
00:01:02,720 --> 00:01:04,760
Speaker 2: a long time, homecoming for him. He's caught a lot

26
00:01:04,760 --> 00:01:06,840
Speaker 2: of great plays here and then Vrabel, so it was

27
00:01:06,880 --> 00:01:09,360
Speaker 2: like it was a group effort for everybody. For me personally,

28
00:01:09,440 --> 00:01:11,640
Speaker 2: I'm saying I played with a lot of young quarterbacks,

29
00:01:11,680 --> 00:01:14,119
Speaker 2: so it's like it wasn't my first time, my first rodeo,

30
00:01:14,240 --> 00:01:17,440
Speaker 2: but it really was Braves and mcdane's and and like

31
00:01:17,560 --> 00:01:19,320
Speaker 2: Todd as well, like my receiver coach. I had a

32
00:01:19,360 --> 00:01:21,680
Speaker 2: little bit of history with him, so, uh, you know,

33
00:01:21,800 --> 00:01:23,280
Speaker 2: his group effort. I guess I wouldn't say it was

34
00:01:23,319 --> 00:01:25,160
Speaker 2: just one person. But why do you talk about how

35
00:01:25,200 --> 00:01:27,520
Speaker 2: Josh mcdames puts players in positions to succeed, But what

36
00:01:27,520 --> 00:01:29,920
Speaker 2: does that mean for you as a receiver. I've been

37
00:01:29,920 --> 00:01:31,959
Speaker 2: in the league a little while, so he's taught me

38
00:01:32,000 --> 00:01:34,240
Speaker 2: a lot since i've been here, even in my eleventh

39
00:01:34,360 --> 00:01:37,360
Speaker 2: year of playing football, So I can't never don't never

40
00:01:37,400 --> 00:01:39,399
Speaker 2: stop learning, like no matter how long you've been playing

41
00:01:39,400 --> 00:01:41,399
Speaker 2: a game. And I feel like his approach to the game.

42
00:01:41,440 --> 00:01:43,440
Speaker 2: He's a little bit of a genius, so he's been

43
00:01:43,480 --> 00:01:45,320
Speaker 2: seeing it a lot. He knows, he understands flows of

44
00:01:45,400 --> 00:01:48,320
Speaker 2: the game. He understand being aggressive and being smart so

45
00:01:49,480 --> 00:01:51,240
Speaker 2: when you get put in a position to be successfuls

46
00:01:51,240 --> 00:01:53,240
Speaker 2: more so with your whatever your skill set is. You know,

47
00:01:53,320 --> 00:01:55,440
Speaker 2: Mac is a is a big receiver. He plays big

48
00:01:55,480 --> 00:01:58,040
Speaker 2: all the time. He can run downderneath for us. But

49
00:01:58,120 --> 00:01:59,680
Speaker 2: I'm saying you put him on those different routes on

50
00:01:59,720 --> 00:02:01,520
Speaker 2: the hours, so I really shows you a skill set.

51
00:02:01,520 --> 00:02:03,680
Speaker 2: But then the mixing match, you see Pop on the

52
00:02:03,680 --> 00:02:05,880
Speaker 2: outside too, smaller receiver, but he's in and out. It's

53
00:02:05,880 --> 00:02:08,239
Speaker 2: break any plays big. So he puts everybody in the

54
00:02:08,240 --> 00:02:11,720
Speaker 2: position to be successful. So I mean different players, you know,

55
00:02:11,760 --> 00:02:12,680
Speaker 2: everybody should different.

56
00:02:13,200 --> 00:02:15,840
Speaker 1: What are the biggest ways that he's taught you or

57
00:02:15,960 --> 00:02:18,760
Speaker 1: changed you to any extent in how you think about

58
00:02:18,760 --> 00:02:20,680
Speaker 1: the game or your approach within the game.

59
00:02:20,880 --> 00:02:24,120
Speaker 2: The mental aspect him and coach Todd down and I

60
00:02:24,120 --> 00:02:26,880
Speaker 2: mean this is probably like my biggest year I've studied

61
00:02:26,880 --> 00:02:30,480
Speaker 2: the most far as like recognizing coverages and being able

62
00:02:30,480 --> 00:02:32,040
Speaker 2: to try to see it before the play starts.

63
00:02:32,120 --> 00:02:34,440
Speaker 3: Kind of like from a quarterback division coach.

64
00:02:34,480 --> 00:02:36,720
Speaker 2: Tard has been in the quarterback rooms and call plays,

65
00:02:36,760 --> 00:02:38,480
Speaker 2: so he kind of give us a vantage point of

66
00:02:38,560 --> 00:02:40,480
Speaker 2: from that. I've never had that from a receiver coach.

67
00:02:40,960 --> 00:02:43,600
Speaker 2: I've had great receiver coaches. It was just they didn't

68
00:02:43,600 --> 00:02:45,840
Speaker 2: have the lens of a quarterback coach or guy that

69
00:02:46,320 --> 00:02:49,799
Speaker 2: call him play so and then also McDaniels, he gonna

70
00:02:49,840 --> 00:02:51,840
Speaker 2: challenge you. He challenge me each and every day to

71
00:02:51,840 --> 00:02:54,720
Speaker 2: be you know, be studious, be tedious. You know what

72
00:02:54,720 --> 00:02:58,440
Speaker 2: I'm saying, keep learning, don't get comfortable, and have competitive stamina.

73
00:02:58,520 --> 00:03:01,600
Speaker 2: So I feel like being a leader. Uh, that helped

74
00:03:01,639 --> 00:03:02,880
Speaker 2: me a lot. You know, I'm saying, that's my first

75
00:03:02,919 --> 00:03:06,880
Speaker 2: year really diving into the mental aspect of it that deep.

76
00:03:06,880 --> 00:03:09,880
Speaker 3: I'm used to just balling for her for her. So what.

77
00:03:14,760 --> 00:03:17,840
Speaker 2: I mean, they're in every game. You can't go out there.

78
00:03:17,880 --> 00:03:20,000
Speaker 2: You can't think. But I said, I can't think anything

79
00:03:20,080 --> 00:03:23,080
Speaker 2: is sweet. They're a good football team. They got some

80
00:03:23,120 --> 00:03:25,080
Speaker 2: good players outside. I don't know how healthy they are

81
00:03:25,080 --> 00:03:27,080
Speaker 2: on the outside, but you know, the guys that's covering

82
00:03:27,120 --> 00:03:30,079
Speaker 2: guys are are good players. So you know, as far

83
00:03:30,080 --> 00:03:31,320
Speaker 2: as like with the interior, I don't know. You know,

84
00:03:31,600 --> 00:03:33,880
Speaker 2: I don't deal with it too much inside, but they're

85
00:03:33,880 --> 00:03:36,960
Speaker 2: a good team. You can't go o going there messing around,

86
00:03:37,040 --> 00:03:38,920
Speaker 2: can't go in there not being on your game. You

87
00:03:38,920 --> 00:03:40,680
Speaker 2: got going with the right mindset and it's gonna start

88
00:03:40,680 --> 00:03:43,000
Speaker 2: with today. Just as far as attacking the weekend, not

89
00:03:43,040 --> 00:03:45,080
Speaker 2: getting complacent and not getting comfortable, I don't see guys

90
00:03:45,120 --> 00:03:47,960
Speaker 2: doing that, but it's still good to reiterate and coming

91
00:03:48,000 --> 00:03:50,040
Speaker 2: with the mindset that we're what we're all chasing.

92
00:03:50,080 --> 00:03:52,920
Speaker 3: I guess you've talked a lot about identity here.

93
00:03:53,040 --> 00:03:54,800
Speaker 5: How would you define the term road.

94
00:03:54,640 --> 00:04:00,400
Speaker 2: Warriors going into a hostile environment, bring your guys with you,

95
00:04:00,440 --> 00:04:04,720
Speaker 2: going in with a mindset of can't curse, but ft

96
00:04:04,760 --> 00:04:07,000
Speaker 2: mindset when good things happen, cool, when bad things have

97
00:04:07,080 --> 00:04:09,520
Speaker 2: an efort, move on in band together. You know, on

98
00:04:09,560 --> 00:04:11,960
Speaker 2: the road, it's definitely hard. You know, we're going into

99
00:04:12,160 --> 00:04:14,680
Speaker 2: somebody else's stadium and someone nobody wants to lose. I

100
00:04:14,680 --> 00:04:16,600
Speaker 2: don't care where you're at and what time of the year,

101
00:04:16,640 --> 00:04:19,000
Speaker 2: nobody wants to lose. So for us, I would say

102
00:04:20,040 --> 00:04:21,719
Speaker 2: it's a little bit going against the green, you know,

103
00:04:21,960 --> 00:04:23,960
Speaker 2: trying to go into those hostile environments and play together

104
00:04:24,000 --> 00:04:26,240
Speaker 2: as a team. But it's natural for us if he

105
00:04:27,000 --> 00:04:29,000
Speaker 2: what he says, he always has packed identity, you know

106
00:04:29,080 --> 00:04:30,840
Speaker 2: what I'm saying, Like worse to live by words to

107
00:04:30,920 --> 00:04:32,840
Speaker 2: kind of go about when you in a situation thinking

108
00:04:32,880 --> 00:04:34,800
Speaker 2: about should I block this guy or should I finish

109
00:04:34,880 --> 00:04:35,200
Speaker 2: his play?

110
00:04:35,720 --> 00:04:38,200
Speaker 1: You've always been one of the best separation separation receivers

111
00:04:38,240 --> 00:04:40,880
Speaker 1: in the game. How much has the mental side and

112
00:04:40,560 --> 00:04:44,960
Speaker 1: the video and film helped you in that realm? This year?

113
00:04:45,240 --> 00:04:47,200
Speaker 2: I think he helped me a lot more open now

114
00:04:47,240 --> 00:04:49,520
Speaker 2: than I've ever been, just as far as like understanding

115
00:04:49,520 --> 00:04:51,679
Speaker 2: where to be and what time to be there, and

116
00:04:51,720 --> 00:04:53,960
Speaker 2: being on the same pace as a quarterback, like kind

117
00:04:53,960 --> 00:04:56,240
Speaker 2: of like what not ot is, but more so training camp.

118
00:04:56,279 --> 00:04:57,800
Speaker 2: You know, I didn't get a million reps with Drake,

119
00:04:57,839 --> 00:05:00,240
Speaker 2: you know what I'm saying, But I feel like throughout

120
00:05:00,279 --> 00:05:03,159
Speaker 2: the season, when you're growing throughout those games weekend and

121
00:05:03,200 --> 00:05:05,640
Speaker 2: week out, you start seeing the same thing, you start

122
00:05:05,960 --> 00:05:08,800
Speaker 2: adjusting the same way. So I just asked him what

123
00:05:09,120 --> 00:05:10,760
Speaker 2: you see here, what you like? And what I'm saying,

124
00:05:10,760 --> 00:05:11,880
Speaker 2: I just run around you.

125
00:05:11,920 --> 00:05:14,640
Speaker 1: Talk about the practical things that tied you to tie

126
00:05:14,720 --> 00:05:17,960
Speaker 1: down and go a little bit deeper in relationship.

127
00:05:17,960 --> 00:05:19,440
Speaker 3: I mean, you guys have a connection that that goes

128
00:05:19,800 --> 00:05:20,520
Speaker 3: back to Minnesota.

129
00:05:20,600 --> 00:05:22,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, we do got some connections from Minnesota. I mean,

130
00:05:22,560 --> 00:05:24,200
Speaker 2: that's he's part of the reason that I came here.

131
00:05:24,520 --> 00:05:27,039
Speaker 2: When I said conglomerate of people. He's definitely one of

132
00:05:27,040 --> 00:05:30,039
Speaker 2: the main people. We had multiple conversations, especially when I

133
00:05:30,040 --> 00:05:32,400
Speaker 2: first got here on my visit, and uh, you know,

134
00:05:32,440 --> 00:05:33,000
Speaker 2: I trust him.

135
00:05:33,000 --> 00:05:34,760
Speaker 3: You know I don't trust many people. Believe it. I

136
00:05:34,839 --> 00:05:35,280
Speaker 3: believe them.

137
00:05:35,440 --> 00:05:37,839
Speaker 2: Gave me face value words, and you know, I appreciate

138
00:05:37,880 --> 00:05:40,240
Speaker 2: his honesty. You know, the same with Coach Brave's like

139
00:05:41,360 --> 00:05:43,640
Speaker 2: I appreciate straight shooters. I'm saying, like, you could tell

140
00:05:43,680 --> 00:05:45,200
Speaker 2: me the truth, no matter what it is, and I'll

141
00:05:45,279 --> 00:05:46,680
Speaker 2: rock with you with it if it's the truth. But

142
00:05:46,920 --> 00:05:49,080
Speaker 2: you know, you try to pull all of them gets

143
00:05:49,080 --> 00:05:49,640
Speaker 2: a little dice.

144
00:05:50,120 --> 00:05:51,839
Speaker 1: It's down the road, down the road a bit. But

145
00:05:51,960 --> 00:05:54,240
Speaker 1: you know the potential that a thousand yards this year

146
00:05:54,279 --> 00:05:57,760
Speaker 1: given the injury, what would be the significance of that too?

147
00:05:57,800 --> 00:06:00,560
Speaker 1: Would this be the most significant thousand yards season for

148
00:06:00,760 --> 00:06:01,680
Speaker 1: you if that happens this year.

149
00:06:02,320 --> 00:06:04,120
Speaker 2: I wouldn't say my most significant. I think my most

150
00:06:04,160 --> 00:06:05,320
Speaker 2: significant was my first time.

151
00:06:05,400 --> 00:06:05,880
Speaker 3: You know what I'm saying.

152
00:06:05,880 --> 00:06:08,320
Speaker 2: Obviously I battle with a lot this year. It'd be

153
00:06:08,320 --> 00:06:09,920
Speaker 2: great if it does happen, and if it doesn't, it's

154
00:06:09,960 --> 00:06:12,159
Speaker 2: not the end of the world. It wouldn't be my

155
00:06:12,160 --> 00:06:13,919
Speaker 2: first time in the thousand yards, but I'd never forget

156
00:06:13,920 --> 00:06:15,640
Speaker 2: my first time hitting it. But if I do hit

Speaker 3: Lord? I talked to him all the time.

163
00:06:35,839 --> 00:06:37,600
Speaker 2: I broke my finger like a couple of weeks ago,

164
00:06:38,000 --> 00:06:40,919
Speaker 2: so I was just telling him, like, hey, you know,

165
00:06:40,960 --> 00:06:41,680
Speaker 2: I love the way you.

166

Speaker 3: Throw the ball.

167
00:06:42,080 --> 00:06:44,000
Speaker 2: I really appreciate it just because he has that touch

168
00:06:44,040 --> 00:06:45,560
Speaker 2: that he could throw the ball like I mean, I'm

169
00:06:45,560 --> 00:06:47,360
Speaker 2: not I don't got nothing against you putting a little

170
00:06:47,400 --> 00:06:48,960
Speaker 2: extra mustard on it two here and there to fit

171
00:06:49,040 --> 00:06:50,840
Speaker 2: it in a hole. I should have caught that one

172
00:06:50,839 --> 00:06:52,720
Speaker 2: in the game. I was mad at myself for that.

173
00:06:52,800 --> 00:06:56,120
Speaker 2: But he has he has one of those like a

174
00:06:56,120 --> 00:06:58,520
Speaker 2: basketball player, like as far as like when you shoot

175
00:06:58,560 --> 00:07:00,000
Speaker 2: the ball and how you shoot it, like when people

176
00:07:00,080 --> 00:07:01,560
Speaker 2: got a good shot, that got a good shot. So

177
00:07:01,920 --> 00:07:03,640
Speaker 2: he has the ability to put that touch on the

178
00:07:03,680 --> 00:07:06,040
Speaker 2: ball when make it very easy to catch. So I

179
00:07:06,080 --> 00:07:09,520
Speaker 2: appreciate that you broke your finger. Yeah, something like that

180
00:07:11,120 --> 00:07:13,320
Speaker 2: play right through it, don't worry about it.

181
00:07:13,640 --> 00:07:19,320
Speaker 4: At your one year post surgery, just how are you

182
00:07:19,320 --> 00:07:20,960
Speaker 4: feeling and how grateful are you for.

183
00:07:20,920 --> 00:07:24,080
Speaker 3: The season you've had. I'm extremely grateful. I can't.

184
00:07:24,280 --> 00:07:25,880
Speaker 2: I can't thank God enough as far as where I'm

185
00:07:25,880 --> 00:07:28,760
Speaker 2: at right now, more so where I'm at with my team,

186
00:07:28,880 --> 00:07:30,440
Speaker 2: and I'm thankful to be where I'm at right now

187
00:07:31,000 --> 00:07:33,320
Speaker 2: around a good group of guys. We spend a lot

188
00:07:33,320 --> 00:07:34,840
Speaker 2: of time together, and I say, you know, it's like

189
00:07:34,840 --> 00:07:36,800
Speaker 2: your little mini family because you spend more time with

190
00:07:36,840 --> 00:07:39,000
Speaker 2: them sometimes when you do your own family. So I'm

191
00:07:39,040 --> 00:07:41,320
Speaker 2: thankful to be where I'm at. I can't thank God

192
00:07:41,400 --> 00:07:44,280
Speaker 2: enough as so as like my injury. You know, I

193
00:07:44,360 --> 00:07:46,480
Speaker 2: spent a long time coming. But I think more importantly

194
00:07:46,520 --> 00:07:48,800
Speaker 2: than i'm I'm just still going right now. We're in

195
00:07:48,840 --> 00:07:50,840
Speaker 2: the thick of it, so like I can't get caught

196
00:07:50,920 --> 00:07:53,280
Speaker 2: up in the moment, but I do want to. I

197
00:07:53,280 --> 00:07:55,040
Speaker 2: would be remember if I didn't take a moment to

198
00:07:55,080 --> 00:07:57,400
Speaker 2: thank God. And I think my teammates thanks for everybody

199
00:07:57,400 --> 00:07:59,920
Speaker 2: pushing me to where I'm at right now. But more importantly,

200
00:08:00,000 --> 00:08:01,160
Speaker 2: I'm just still grow.

201
00:08:02,600 --> 00:08:03,880
Speaker 4: I mean, like I think we all looked at you

202
00:08:03,960 --> 00:08:06,840
Speaker 4: and stuff in the field and the spring like damn,

203
00:08:06,920 --> 00:08:11,280
Speaker 4: he's moving decent. No, mo was well for someone whose

204
00:08:11,320 --> 00:08:13,360
Speaker 4: who was at that point seven eight months for moved.

205
00:08:13,160 --> 00:08:14,200
Speaker 3: From the surgeony I was.

206
00:08:14,320 --> 00:08:17,320
Speaker 2: I wasn't necessarily surprised, but I was more so like

207
00:08:17,680 --> 00:08:20,120
Speaker 2: taking back a couple of times like them my injury.

208
00:08:20,200 --> 00:08:23,200
Speaker 2: As far as like how is the progression was happening

209
00:08:23,240 --> 00:08:25,960
Speaker 2: pretty well for me. I knew that I attacked it

210
00:08:26,000 --> 00:08:27,840
Speaker 2: with the mindset of that, and I was never scared,

211
00:08:27,880 --> 00:08:29,440
Speaker 2: So I didn't go in with the mindset of like

212
00:08:30,080 --> 00:08:31,960
Speaker 2: I always said, the worst happened already, so let me

213
00:08:32,000 --> 00:08:33,360
Speaker 2: just get after as much as I can.

214
00:08:33,240 --> 00:08:34,120
Speaker 3: And prepare the right way.

215
00:08:34,200 --> 00:08:36,520
Speaker 2: So it's been an onlone process even throughout the season

216
00:08:36,559 --> 00:08:38,280
Speaker 2: as far as like training and getting my body where

217
00:08:38,280 --> 00:08:38,920
Speaker 2: I needed where it.

218
00:08:38,840 --> 00:08:39,320
Speaker 3: Needed to be.

219
00:08:39,400 --> 00:08:42,280
Speaker 2: So I wasn't necessarily surprised. I was just more so

220
00:08:42,400 --> 00:08:45,719
Speaker 2: like I was prepared. I worked for it. Here we are,

221
00:08:45,840 --> 00:08:47,920
Speaker 2: let's go excellent.

222
00:08:49,160 --> 00:08:49,400

Speaker 2: Thank you coming into this one that you know, there's

273
00:11:11,280 --> 00:11:14,880

00:11:14,920 --> 00:11:15,360
Speaker 2: as you're going.

275
00:11:15,720 --> 00:11:17,680
Speaker 5: I mean, they still got a really good offense.

276
00:11:17,679 --> 00:11:20,600
Speaker 7: They got Tea, they got Chase Brown has been doing

277
00:11:20,760 --> 00:11:26,920
Speaker 7: playing really well, Charlie Jones, they got ice bars, they

278
00:11:26,960 --> 00:11:30,120
Speaker 7: got they got people. So I mean they still got

279
00:11:30,160 --> 00:11:33,120
Speaker 7: a lot of receivers that that can work. Flak has

280
00:11:33,120 --> 00:11:34,840
Speaker 7: been playing this game for a long time, so he's

281
00:11:34,880 --> 00:11:37,640
Speaker 7: seen a lot of looks, has amazing arm talent.

282
00:11:38,920 --> 00:11:41,400
Speaker 5: So I mean it's a challenge. You know, they're one

283
00:11:41,400 --> 00:11:43,599
Speaker 5: of the best offenses. So we decided it's gonna be

284
00:11:43,679 --> 00:11:44,960
Speaker 5: a lot easier than Chiefs is not.

285
00:11:44,960 --> 00:11:45,760
Speaker 3: Gonna be in there, all right.

286
00:11:47,559 --> 00:11:50,120
Speaker 5: I mean, you don't you know, you always want to

287
00:11:50,120 --> 00:11:51,000
Speaker 5: see people.

288
00:11:51,120 --> 00:11:53,959
Speaker 7: You know, it's it's not about you know, he's not playing,

289
00:11:54,040 --> 00:11:55,600
Speaker 7: and you know, we just got to go out there

290
00:11:55,640 --> 00:11:56,599
Speaker 7: and execute what we got to do.

291
00:11:57,480 --> 00:12:00,120
Speaker 3: Any jokes with Mike that you guys are playing to

292
00:12:00,120 --> 00:12:01,400
Speaker 3: get some against.

00:12:03,360 --> 00:12:06,320
Speaker 5: No, we didn't even said that yet, but he played

294
00:12:06,360 --> 00:12:06,800
Speaker 5: against him.

295
00:12:07,360 --> 00:12:08,800
Speaker 3: Yeah, I ain't got ammunition.

296
00:12:09,160 --> 00:12:09,720
Speaker 5: That's crazy.

297
00:12:09,800 --> 00:12:10,200
Speaker 7: Yeah, I might.

298
00:12:10,240 --> 00:12:12,680
Speaker 5: I might give him a little sum at practice. Yeah,

299
00:12:12,679 --> 00:12:13,200
