1
00:00:01,720 --> 00:00:06,760
Speaker 1: This message to you guys captains, extension of him. Extension

2
00:00:06,760 --> 00:00:09,200
Speaker 1: of him was what they said by him. We just

3
00:00:09,280 --> 00:00:11,440
Speaker 1: kind of wrapped that. I repeat that because at the

4
00:00:11,440 --> 00:00:13,800
Speaker 1: same time we have a team. Uh, we're gonna stay

5
00:00:13,800 --> 00:00:16,840
Speaker 1: again and they're gonna fight together. You've been here because

6
00:00:17,560 --> 00:00:21,160
Speaker 1: to see that, like Michael Thomas, A Tree and Solder

7
00:00:21,200 --> 00:00:23,000
Speaker 1: were able to make such an impact right away that

8
00:00:23,040 --> 00:00:25,160
Speaker 1: their captains in their first year. No, not at all,

9
00:00:25,200 --> 00:00:27,000
Speaker 1: because I mean as they came from one of the

10
00:00:27,640 --> 00:00:31,400
Speaker 1: good teams and he played very well over then people

11
00:00:31,440 --> 00:00:33,680
Speaker 1: respect him bout the league, and I respecting only came

12
00:00:33,720 --> 00:00:35,040
Speaker 1: up in here the same thing. Well, Mike, he came

13
00:00:35,080 --> 00:00:37,599
Speaker 1: from a respective team, and those guys are investing. When

14
00:00:37,560 --> 00:00:39,519
Speaker 1: people look up to them, they know how to go

15
00:00:39,560 --> 00:00:42,080
Speaker 1: into a game and how to run it and they

16
00:00:42,120 --> 00:00:44,960
Speaker 1: do those things. Lendon, when you look at Leonard for net,

17
00:00:45,479 --> 00:00:48,279
Speaker 1: what makes him so tough to to them? I mean

18
00:00:48,479 --> 00:00:50,519
Speaker 1: as opposed to you know, the ze Elliotts and the

19
00:00:50,520 --> 00:00:54,680
Speaker 1: other running guys. Did you faced regularly? Honestly, he's so balanced. Um, yes,

20
00:00:55,040 --> 00:00:56,600
Speaker 1: like you see a big bet like that, you don't

21
00:00:56,600 --> 00:00:58,760
Speaker 1: think he saw elusive and can move the way up

22
00:00:58,800 --> 00:01:01,640
Speaker 1: when he moves he's fast, exlucive, you've got great vision

23
00:01:01,720 --> 00:01:03,800
Speaker 1: so um. And then he has a lot of weight

24
00:01:03,800 --> 00:01:05,160
Speaker 1: behind him, so if he put his shoulder down, you

25
00:01:05,160 --> 00:01:07,480
Speaker 1: can run you over. So and that's saying he has

26
00:01:07,520 --> 00:01:10,000
Speaker 1: kind of all the all the characteristics of a good,

27
00:01:10,040 --> 00:01:12,960
Speaker 1: great running back. And with those things, you got to

28
00:01:13,000 --> 00:01:14,959
Speaker 1: be patient with him. Man, when you hit him, you

29
00:01:15,000 --> 00:01:16,920
Speaker 1: have to really wrap and frame him down. Is he

30
00:01:17,000 --> 00:01:20,040
Speaker 1: more factivity thing in between the tackles outside or can

31
00:01:20,120 --> 00:01:21,560
Speaker 1: you just do it all? He can kind of do

32
00:01:21,600 --> 00:01:23,800
Speaker 1: it all. Honestly, I would say if I was the

33
00:01:24,000 --> 00:01:25,679
Speaker 1: really game play against him and really look at this

34
00:01:25,720 --> 00:01:27,759
Speaker 1: whole film, I say, between the tackles, that's where he's

35
00:01:27,760 --> 00:01:30,360
Speaker 1: a down north south runner. I mean coming from l U,

36
00:01:30,440 --> 00:01:32,600
Speaker 1: that's what they ran. Nothing south. They don't run even

37
00:01:32,720 --> 00:01:35,400
Speaker 1: east and western. Uh, that's what he doesn't do. Just

38
00:01:36,280 --> 00:01:40,320
Speaker 1: about their offense that you're gonna see and have to defend. Uh,

39
00:01:40,400 --> 00:01:41,960
Speaker 1: he said to him big time, because if you know

40
00:01:42,160 --> 00:01:44,400
Speaker 1: the first handoff is gonna go to him, it's it's

41
00:01:44,840 --> 00:01:46,480
Speaker 1: it's kind of a known fact that he needs the

42
00:01:46,520 --> 00:01:48,320
Speaker 1: ball and as many touch as he gets, as much

43
00:01:48,360 --> 00:01:50,920
Speaker 1: as you gets, as fast as to get warm. He's

44
00:01:50,960 --> 00:01:52,840
Speaker 1: gonna be able touch the ball as much more and

45
00:01:53,000 --> 00:01:55,440
Speaker 1: trying to make some games for the offense. Lay think

46
00:01:55,440 --> 00:01:58,480
Speaker 1: given the fact that there's so much overturned here in

47
00:01:58,560 --> 00:02:00,840
Speaker 1: this past year. Flip the giant. It's how important is

48
00:02:00,840 --> 00:02:02,200
Speaker 1: it for you guys to get off to a good

49
00:02:02,200 --> 00:02:04,920
Speaker 1: start in this first game. It's very important. But we're

50
00:02:04,920 --> 00:02:06,920
Speaker 1: not hopping on it. We just honestly we're taking it

51
00:02:07,160 --> 00:02:09,840
Speaker 1: taken day by day, step by step and working together

52
00:02:09,880 --> 00:02:11,560
Speaker 1: and stand as a team. We're fighting together and we're

53
00:02:11,560 --> 00:02:13,600
Speaker 1: going on the practice field making sure we got everything perfect.

54
00:02:13,639 --> 00:02:15,720
Speaker 1: So when we go onto the field, those words that

55
00:02:15,800 --> 00:02:17,720
Speaker 1: have to come up again. It is unusual for you

56
00:02:17,720 --> 00:02:20,600
Speaker 1: guys to have an opener at home. Usually here on

57
00:02:20,639 --> 00:02:22,400
Speaker 1: the road. It's that kind of neat to give you

58
00:02:22,560 --> 00:02:24,560
Speaker 1: any extra budg honestly, give me a little bit more,

59
00:02:24,600 --> 00:02:26,680
Speaker 1: buzz I wanted to. It's always good to open up

60
00:02:26,680 --> 00:02:28,720
Speaker 1: at home and just uh see the fans and just

61
00:02:28,760 --> 00:02:30,919
Speaker 1: get that win at home and then getting getting uneath

62
00:02:30,960 --> 00:02:33,000
Speaker 1: our belt and uh move on to the next team.

63
00:02:33,040 --> 00:02:35,520
Speaker 1: So yeah, ending up different. Does this year feel in

64
00:02:35,560 --> 00:02:38,000
Speaker 1: terms of last year, in terms of expectations coming into

65
00:02:38,040 --> 00:02:41,400
Speaker 1: the season, expectations we I mean We're trying to live

66
00:02:41,440 --> 00:02:44,799
Speaker 1: up to them. Honestly, we uh, we work day in,

67
00:02:44,960 --> 00:02:47,560
Speaker 1: day out. We're not looking towards what other people are

68
00:02:47,560 --> 00:02:50,160
Speaker 1: saying or what outside people are saying. We know we

69
00:02:50,280 --> 00:02:52,160
Speaker 1: have in this knocker, and we know what we are

70
00:02:52,200 --> 00:02:54,240
Speaker 1: capable of doing, and how are we gonna go
