Speaker 2: Yeah, how quickly it came about?

5
00:00:16,120 --> 00:00:20,040
Speaker 3: Honestly, you know, I talked to my agent probably early

6
00:00:20,160 --> 00:00:24,720
Speaker 3: in the day. What was it two days ago, I

7
00:00:24,720 --> 00:00:27,960
Speaker 3: guess you would say, and he's like, yo, you know,

8
00:00:28,080 --> 00:00:30,760
Speaker 3: just stay by your phone at four o'clock, you know,

9
00:00:30,840 --> 00:00:31,520
Speaker 3: you never know.

10
00:00:31,600 --> 00:00:34,160
Speaker 2: And I'm like, all right, that's cool. And then.

11
00:00:35,520 --> 00:00:39,239
Speaker 3: Four fifteen, I was actually bored in the plane we

12
00:00:39,240 --> 00:00:44,080
Speaker 3: were flying in Virginia, and man, my phone was blowing

13
00:00:44,159 --> 00:00:47,360
Speaker 3: up at I think four to ten, my phone's blowing up.

14
00:00:47,400 --> 00:00:52,640
Speaker 3: Agents calling me, Liam was calling me, and uh, you know,

15
00:00:52,680 --> 00:00:54,760
Speaker 3: it just like it happened. It all happened so fast,

16
00:00:54,800 --> 00:00:58,320
Speaker 3: you know, before I even touched down. My agent's like, hey,

17
00:00:58,440 --> 00:01:01,800
Speaker 3: we we just agreed the terms with Jacksonville Jaguars.

18
00:01:01,800 --> 00:01:03,800
Speaker 2: So I'm like, all right, let's do it. Man, I'm

19
00:01:03,840 --> 00:01:04,440
Speaker 2: so excited.

20
00:01:04,959 --> 00:01:08,319
Speaker 3: And uh, as far as to like why Jacksonville, I

21
00:01:08,360 --> 00:01:12,160
Speaker 3: think you know it's it's it's an opportunity. I feel

22
00:01:12,160 --> 00:01:13,840
Speaker 3: like it was gonna be the best opportunity for me.

23
00:01:14,280 --> 00:01:17,679
Speaker 3: Uh you know, I know Liam and he knows me,

24
00:01:18,640 --> 00:01:20,760
Speaker 3: and I know the type of standard he expects, and

25
00:01:20,840 --> 00:01:22,000
Speaker 3: I feel like we can get that done.

26
00:01:23,240 --> 00:01:32,560
Speaker 2: Appreciate it, yes, sir, Hey Chris, how are you? Hey?

27
00:01:32,600 --> 00:01:33,840
Speaker 2: I'm doing good. How are you, Martin?

28
00:01:34,360 --> 00:01:37,240
Speaker 4: What take me through your relationship with Liam? I know

29
00:01:37,280 --> 00:01:40,520
Speaker 4: you guys only spent the one year together, but what

30
00:01:40,520 --> 00:01:42,360
Speaker 4: did you learn about each other? And how excited are

31
00:01:42,360 --> 00:01:43,600
Speaker 4: you to be in his offense?

32
00:01:43,959 --> 00:01:44,800
Speaker 2: Oh? Yeah, for sure.

33
00:01:46,040 --> 00:01:50,400
Speaker 3: Honestly, when Liam got to Kentucky, he had to be

34
00:01:50,720 --> 00:01:53,200
Speaker 3: one of my favorite coaches up until that point. You know,

35
00:01:53,360 --> 00:01:56,000
Speaker 3: obviously I have high school coaches who I'm like super

36
00:01:56,000 --> 00:01:58,320
Speaker 3: close with, but you know, when I got to with

37
00:01:58,320 --> 00:02:01,280
Speaker 3: Liam and uh my running back coach at the time,

38
00:02:01,320 --> 00:02:05,440
Speaker 3: and those guys were amazing, you know, and I.

39
00:02:05,400 --> 00:02:06,880
Speaker 2: Feel like that whole time.

40
00:02:07,000 --> 00:02:09,320
Speaker 3: I guess you you could say it was only a year,

41
00:02:09,400 --> 00:02:12,040
Speaker 3: but man, it felt like a lifetime knowing that guy.

42
00:02:12,080 --> 00:02:13,520
Speaker 2: You know, got cool with.

43
00:02:13,520 --> 00:02:17,919
Speaker 3: Him and uh miss Ashley his wife, uh man, And honestly, man,

44
00:02:18,760 --> 00:02:21,880
Speaker 3: they're good people and uh, you know what I learned

45
00:02:21,919 --> 00:02:25,200
Speaker 3: about Liam is a you know, he knows who you are,

46
00:02:25,280 --> 00:02:28,160
Speaker 3: he knows your best self. And once you show it

47
00:02:28,200 --> 00:02:30,920
Speaker 3: to him, he expects nothing, nothing less.

48
00:02:32,320 --> 00:02:36,560
Speaker 4: And then he's he said previously about you can catch

49
00:02:36,560 --> 00:02:38,480
Speaker 4: the ball out of the backfield, they just didn't ask.

50
00:02:38,320 --> 00:02:38,919
Speaker 2: You to do that.

51
00:02:39,200 --> 00:02:41,360
Speaker 4: Is that like kind of maybe a little bit of

52
00:02:41,360 --> 00:02:43,840
Speaker 4: a secret weapon that you've got that you haven't been

53
00:02:43,840 --> 00:02:46,400
Speaker 4: able to show in your knowledge and pro career.

54
00:02:47,040 --> 00:02:48,919
Speaker 2: No, I wouldn't say it's like a secret weapon.

55
00:02:49,919 --> 00:02:51,800
Speaker 3: I mean, you got Hey, ask any of my coaches

56
00:02:51,840 --> 00:02:54,440
Speaker 3: that I've been around, they would tell you, like, I

57
00:02:54,440 --> 00:02:57,960
Speaker 3: can catch the ball. At Kentucky, it just we had

58
00:02:58,000 --> 00:03:00,600
Speaker 3: another running back who was maybe be a little better

59
00:03:00,639 --> 00:03:04,720
Speaker 3: at running routes or had a little more speech. So,

60
00:03:04,840 --> 00:03:06,800
Speaker 3: you know, they never asked me to actually do it.

61
00:03:06,840 --> 00:03:09,320
Speaker 3: But you know, I feel like I can catch I

62
00:03:09,320 --> 00:03:12,320
Speaker 3: can run routes. Might not be as clean as some

63
00:03:12,360 --> 00:03:14,679
Speaker 3: of the other guys, but I definitely can run routes

64
00:03:14,720 --> 00:03:15,320
Speaker 3: and catch the ball.

65
00:03:17,120 --> 00:03:25,000
Speaker 5: Thank you, row D Rock and then Alessandra, Hey, Chris, congrats, Hey,

66
00:03:25,120 --> 00:03:30,080
Speaker 5: thank you what you said you really liked dealing with Liam.

67
00:03:30,120 --> 00:03:33,040
Speaker 5: What was your first moment with Liam, like and did

68
00:03:33,080 --> 00:03:35,280
Speaker 5: you kind of realize at that point this guy's a

69
00:03:35,320 --> 00:03:36,280
Speaker 5: little bit different.

70
00:03:37,160 --> 00:03:41,200
Speaker 3: Yeah, first moment with Limb well, I'll tell you so

71
00:03:41,240 --> 00:03:46,560
Speaker 3: at Kentucky, our offensive coordinator was actually the running backs coach,

72
00:03:47,240 --> 00:03:49,800
Speaker 3: So it was already different from that perspective. You know,

73
00:03:49,880 --> 00:03:53,400
Speaker 3: we don't We had a coach who was coaching us

74
00:03:53,680 --> 00:03:56,160
Speaker 3: and you know, staying in the room, and then we

75
00:03:56,200 --> 00:03:57,560
Speaker 3: would go to offense and being and then we have

76
00:03:57,600 --> 00:03:58,880
Speaker 3: Liam who's coaching everybody.

77
00:03:59,400 --> 00:04:03,760
Speaker 2: You know Liam Man. The first interaction, he honestly just

78
00:04:03,920 --> 00:04:04,600
Speaker 2: he seemed cool.

79
00:04:04,680 --> 00:04:07,080
Speaker 3: It was easy to click with him. You didn't have

80
00:04:07,120 --> 00:04:08,520
Speaker 3: to force a conversation with him.

81
00:04:09,240 --> 00:04:09,480
Speaker 2: Uh.

82
00:04:09,520 --> 00:04:11,320
Speaker 3: And if he saw you like it was just like

83
00:04:11,560 --> 00:04:14,000
Speaker 3: a conversation. He'll stop, have a conversation with you, talked

84
00:04:14,040 --> 00:04:18,320
Speaker 3: to you, ask how everybody's going? Man, it was it

85
00:04:18,360 --> 00:04:21,719
Speaker 3: was I say, it was an experience man. And then uh,

86
00:04:21,880 --> 00:04:24,599
Speaker 3: I think he I think he only got like upset

87
00:04:24,640 --> 00:04:28,800
Speaker 3: with the Kentucky team like a few times. But you know,

88
00:04:28,880 --> 00:04:30,880
Speaker 3: you hate to see that side of him come out,

89
00:04:30,920 --> 00:04:34,040
Speaker 3: but that's just him, like, uh, coaching you hard.

90
00:04:35,080 --> 00:04:37,800
Speaker 5: What is it about the way he calls plays or

91
00:04:37,839 --> 00:04:41,640
Speaker 5: the way he runs the offense that sets him apart?

92
00:04:41,760 --> 00:04:42,440
Speaker 2: Do you think? Yeah?

93
00:04:42,720 --> 00:04:46,680
Speaker 3: Uh, man, he just he he wants to see everybody shine.

94
00:04:46,720 --> 00:04:50,760
Speaker 3: You know, it's not all one sided. You know, when

95
00:04:50,800 --> 00:04:53,640
Speaker 3: I was at Kentucky like crazy story. Uh, we were

96
00:04:53,680 --> 00:04:56,280
Speaker 3: playing some some like you know.

97
00:04:56,800 --> 00:04:58,400
Speaker 2: Low level school or whatever it is.

98
00:04:58,440 --> 00:05:00,160
Speaker 3: You know, you do those little games that the get

99
00:05:00,160 --> 00:05:04,440
Speaker 3: another year. And you know, we had our quarterback who

100
00:05:04,480 --> 00:05:06,680
Speaker 3: had one hundred and something. We had a receiver who

101
00:05:06,720 --> 00:05:08,440
Speaker 3: and we had two receivers that went for one hundred

102
00:05:08,440 --> 00:05:11,320
Speaker 3: and I had like ninety yards or something like that.

103
00:05:11,440 --> 00:05:14,400
Speaker 3: And Liam comes up to me. He's like, Hey, you're

104
00:05:14,440 --> 00:05:16,520
Speaker 3: gonna go inside. You're gonna go in and you're gonna

105
00:05:16,560 --> 00:05:19,360
Speaker 3: get a hundred yards, Like you better go do it.

106
00:05:19,320 --> 00:05:21,159
Speaker 2: On two plays or that's all. That's all you got.

107
00:05:22,000 --> 00:05:25,800
Speaker 3: So first play, I think I only had one yard,

108
00:05:26,360 --> 00:05:29,120
Speaker 3: but the second play, you know, I end up getting

109
00:05:29,480 --> 00:05:31,080
Speaker 3: I think probably like a twenty yard game.

110
00:05:31,120 --> 00:05:33,320
Speaker 2: I think it's New Mexico State maybe it was.

111
00:05:33,960 --> 00:05:39,360
Speaker 3: But man, after that, he's like, it's like, damn appreciate that, man,

112
00:05:39,360 --> 00:05:41,799
Speaker 3: you know what I'm saying. Uh So, yeah, I feel

113
00:05:41,800 --> 00:05:44,400
Speaker 3: like his offense is kind of is well rounded.

114
00:05:44,480 --> 00:05:47,240
Speaker 2: You know, he wants he uh he.

115
00:05:47,360 --> 00:05:50,400
Speaker 3: Expects efficiency, and you know he wants everybody showing at

116
00:05:50,400 --> 00:05:51,000
Speaker 3: the end of the day.

117
00:05:52,120 --> 00:05:53,839

127
00:06:20,160 --> 00:06:23,960

128
00:06:24,800 --> 00:06:28,120
Speaker 3: you know, I played at Kentucky with Josh for one year.

129
00:06:30,120 --> 00:06:36,360
Speaker 2: I haven't text him yet. And then there's uh one

130
00:06:36,400 --> 00:06:38,360
Speaker 2: of the tight ends who actually trains where I train

131
00:06:38,400 --> 00:06:38,720

135
00:06:52,600 --> 00:06:54,400
Speaker 3: out catching whatever we were doing.

136
00:06:55,240 --> 00:06:57,840
Speaker 2: But other than that, I haven't really talked to anybody else.

137
00:07:00,080 --> 00:07:05,120
Speaker 6: But then after seeing you know, the Jaguars this past season,

138
00:07:05,680 --> 00:07:07,760
Speaker 6: with William going into a second year and you know

139
00:07:07,800 --> 00:07:10,960
Speaker 6: the rest of the team, you know, how do you

140
00:07:11,160 --> 00:07:14,880
Speaker 6: what opportunity do you look at as as the team

141
00:07:14,960 --> 00:07:17,800
Speaker 6: tries to progress and add to their success from this

142
00:07:17,840 --> 00:07:18,400
Speaker 6: past season.

143
00:07:18,920 --> 00:07:22,080
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean just clicking with those running backs, I

144
00:07:22,120 --> 00:07:25,880
Speaker 3: would say, you know, figuring out what it is that

145
00:07:27,760 --> 00:07:31,400
Speaker 3: can help make us more efficient or not even just

146
00:07:31,440 --> 00:07:35,800
Speaker 3: as a running back, but as an offensive standpoint. You know,

147
00:07:36,080 --> 00:07:38,120
Speaker 3: that's a conversation that we have with the guys and

148
00:07:38,320 --> 00:07:40,320
Speaker 3: going into the season, we'll figure out what we need

149
00:07:40,360 --> 00:07:42,560
Speaker 3: and how can we improve. You know, it's gonna be

150
00:07:42,600 --> 00:07:45,280
Speaker 3: a it's gonna be a competition every day with those guys.

151
00:07:46,720 --> 00:07:48,840
Speaker 3: You know, that's one thing I like to do. We

152
00:07:48,960 --> 00:07:49,640
Speaker 3: like to compete.

153
00:07:49,840 --> 00:07:51,760
Speaker 2: So you know, I feel like it's gonna be a

154
00:07:51,800 --> 00:07:52,680
Speaker 2: fun process.

155
00:07:54,240 --> 00:07:56,640
Speaker 6: And if I could just get one more. You have

156
00:07:56,760 --> 00:07:59,680
Speaker 6: two we're ironing backs, are going to their second year

157
00:07:59,680 --> 00:08:02,480
Speaker 6: that had quite a bit production this past season. So

158
00:08:02,560 --> 00:08:05,480
