1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:03,080
Speaker 1: A room and the new faces in there are. How

2
00:00:03,160 --> 00:00:09,120
Speaker 1: much more important leadership going to mean this season? Um?

3
00:00:09,119 --> 00:00:11,280
Speaker 1: I mean, he was a big leader for us last

4
00:00:11,320 --> 00:00:15,080
Speaker 1: year and same same this year. Obviously different room, But

5
00:00:15,440 --> 00:00:17,919
Speaker 1: I think to that connection that me and him have

6
00:00:18,200 --> 00:00:20,640
Speaker 1: just playing together for a year now, um, and just

7
00:00:20,760 --> 00:00:23,520
Speaker 1: how we communicate, I think that shows a lot too,

8
00:00:23,600 --> 00:00:25,319
Speaker 1: especially to the younger guys that the guys that just

9
00:00:25,360 --> 00:00:28,320
Speaker 1: came in. Um. So, I mean, I think that's that's

10
00:00:28,400 --> 00:00:31,400
Speaker 1: huge than just his voice in the room, you know,

11
00:00:31,680 --> 00:00:34,360
Speaker 1: in the offensive meetings all that. In his experience, I

12
00:00:34,400 --> 00:00:37,199
Speaker 1: think he's got a good, um obviously head on his

13
00:00:37,240 --> 00:00:39,240
Speaker 1: shoulders and has a lot of experience to draw from.

14
00:00:39,240 --> 00:00:41,479
Speaker 1: And I think guys really listen when he talks. In

15
00:00:41,479 --> 00:00:44,880
Speaker 1: an interview of the other day, Doug kind of said,

16
00:00:44,920 --> 00:00:46,800
Speaker 1: you remind him a little bit of how Brett Farve

17
00:00:46,920 --> 00:00:49,760
Speaker 1: is from your leadership style standpoint. Brett Farve obviously a

18
00:00:49,760 --> 00:00:52,320
Speaker 1: guy with a golden jacket, Doug said today, he doesn't

19
00:00:52,360 --> 00:00:55,240
Speaker 1: really throw around those sorts of comparisons lightly. How much

20
00:00:55,280 --> 00:00:56,720
Speaker 1: does it kind of mean for you when you your

21
00:00:56,720 --> 00:00:58,360
Speaker 1: head coach is kind of comparing you to a guy

22
00:00:58,400 --> 00:01:00,720
Speaker 1: that he was on a team with seeing firsthand that

23
00:01:01,120 --> 00:01:04,640
Speaker 1: is in Kingdon. Yeah, I mean obviously that's a definitely

24
00:01:04,640 --> 00:01:07,600
Speaker 1: a compliment and I'm appreciative, you know, trying to pay

25
00:01:07,640 --> 00:01:10,120
Speaker 1: too much attention to any of that, but um, I

26
00:01:10,120 --> 00:01:12,640
Speaker 1: mean that's cool to be you know, using the same

27
00:01:12,640 --> 00:01:15,039
Speaker 1: sentences as Brett and just seeing how his career was

28
00:01:15,120 --> 00:01:17,840
Speaker 1: and how great a player he was. That's obviously, UM

29
00:01:18,280 --> 00:01:19,840
Speaker 1: cool thing for me. But at the end of the day,

30
00:01:19,840 --> 00:01:21,440
Speaker 1: like I gotta go, I gotta go prove it on

31
00:01:21,480 --> 00:01:23,279
Speaker 1: the field and perform, So it doesn't really change anything,

32
00:01:23,319 --> 00:01:26,600
Speaker 1: but it's definitely definitely cool. Think what do you like

33
00:01:26,640 --> 00:01:29,480
Speaker 1: about this group? Man? I just think they got the

34
00:01:29,840 --> 00:01:34,240
Speaker 1: right mindset. I think um Sheriff coming in really has

35
00:01:34,280 --> 00:01:35,960
Speaker 1: elevated the whole group. You know, it's a lot of

36
00:01:36,000 --> 00:01:38,440
Speaker 1: the same guys that have been here, but bringing in

37
00:01:38,520 --> 00:01:41,160
Speaker 1: him and just his veteran presence, but also just his

38
00:01:41,240 --> 00:01:44,279
Speaker 1: work ethic and the way he attacks every day, always

39
00:01:44,319 --> 00:01:47,119
Speaker 1: ready to go, never complains, just has that grit. It's

40
00:01:47,120 --> 00:01:49,520
Speaker 1: a little bit nasty like that's that's something that those

41
00:01:49,560 --> 00:01:51,880
Speaker 1: guys see and I've seen it all, you know, O

42
00:01:52,040 --> 00:01:54,080
Speaker 1: t a s and camp and to see a guy

43
00:01:54,120 --> 00:01:56,480
Speaker 1: who has had as much success as he's had on

44
00:01:56,560 --> 00:01:59,600
Speaker 1: his eighth season, I believe, and still brings that intensity

45
00:01:59,640 --> 00:02:02,080
Speaker 1: every day. I think it's elevated the whole group. You

46
00:02:02,120 --> 00:02:04,600
Speaker 1: think some of the great quarterbacks in this league have

47
00:02:04,760 --> 00:02:08,120
Speaker 1: had long term relationships with their centers, Manning and Saturday,

48
00:02:08,600 --> 00:02:12,000
Speaker 1: far Vin Winters, those guys. What do you like about

49
00:02:12,040 --> 00:02:15,320
Speaker 1: the center as he gets started with his career. Yeah,

50
00:02:15,360 --> 00:02:16,839
Speaker 1: I mean he's done, He's done a great job. We've

51
00:02:16,880 --> 00:02:19,320
Speaker 1: we've talked about him a lot and just um how

52
00:02:19,360 --> 00:02:20,840
Speaker 1: smart he is, for one, and I think he's been

53
00:02:20,840 --> 00:02:23,079
Speaker 1: playing really well, playing at a high level. You can't

54
00:02:23,120 --> 00:02:25,720
Speaker 1: tell he's a rookie at all um, and just starting

55
00:02:25,720 --> 00:02:28,440
Speaker 1: to build that relationship now obviously you know he just

56
00:02:28,480 --> 00:02:30,480
Speaker 1: came in. I'm only on my second year. Hopefully this

57
00:02:30,520 --> 00:02:32,880
Speaker 1: is something that we can grow and build and be

58
00:02:32,919 --> 00:02:35,160
Speaker 1: together for a long time. So that's that's the goal,

59
00:02:35,200 --> 00:02:38,280
Speaker 1: I think, for myself, for him, his organization. Obviously, when

60
00:02:38,320 --> 00:02:40,200
Speaker 1: you when you get someone, that's that's the plan. So

61
00:02:40,800 --> 00:02:43,000
Speaker 1: I think it's going great. And just the like I said,

62
00:02:43,040 --> 00:02:45,600
Speaker 1: the same thing you know with Sheriff obviously a younger guy,

63
00:02:45,639 --> 00:02:49,040
Speaker 1: but just the intensity he brings, really serious about his business,

64
00:02:49,520 --> 00:02:52,320
Speaker 1: especially being a rookie thrown into that role early, UM,

65
00:02:52,400 --> 00:02:54,480
Speaker 1: and he's handled it well. So it's been impressive. When

66
00:02:54,480 --> 00:02:56,720
Speaker 1: you think about where you were a year ago at

67
00:02:56,720 --> 00:03:00,320
Speaker 1: this time, I mean, so much has changed. Uh, your

68
00:03:00,400 --> 00:03:05,639
Speaker 1: new coach, new staff. Uh you have even though last

69
00:03:05,680 --> 00:03:07,040
Speaker 1: year didn't go the way you wanted to, you have

70
00:03:07,120 --> 00:03:09,880
Speaker 1: the benefit of at least having gone through it. And

71
00:03:10,320 --> 00:03:12,800
Speaker 1: you see the upgrades that have been done in the

72
00:03:12,800 --> 00:03:15,799
Speaker 1: offseason to your side of the ball. How much does

73
00:03:15,840 --> 00:03:19,400
Speaker 1: that do for your confidence going into the season opener

74
00:03:19,600 --> 00:03:23,200
Speaker 1: this week? It's exciting, you know, it's exciting because just

75
00:03:23,240 --> 00:03:25,280
Speaker 1: to see how far we've come in a year and

76
00:03:25,320 --> 00:03:28,040
Speaker 1: my through my lens, you know, obviously it's different for

77
00:03:28,080 --> 00:03:29,720
Speaker 1: everyone else. I haven't seen as much as I've seen

78
00:03:29,720 --> 00:03:31,440
Speaker 1: just because we've only had a couple of preseason games

79
00:03:31,480 --> 00:03:33,840
Speaker 1: and now we're about to start the season. But to

80
00:03:33,880 --> 00:03:36,120
Speaker 1: see the improvement guys of the of the guys that

81
00:03:36,160 --> 00:03:37,920
Speaker 1: were here and see how much better that we've gotten

82
00:03:38,000 --> 00:03:40,880
Speaker 1: than obviously the new additions have helped a ton um

83
00:03:40,920 --> 00:03:42,800
Speaker 1: and just the whole mindset. I think the culture is

84
00:03:43,320 --> 00:03:46,200
Speaker 1: really flipped, and that's something that doesn't happen overnight. So

85
00:03:46,240 --> 00:03:47,760
Speaker 1: it's taken a lot of a lot of work by

86
00:03:47,800 --> 00:03:49,600
Speaker 1: a lot of people, and I think we're in a

87
00:03:49,640 --> 00:03:51,640
Speaker 1: great spot right now, and we just gotta keep building

88
00:03:51,680 --> 00:03:54,200
Speaker 1: on that. Obviously, you've got to sustain it. And I'm

89
00:03:54,200 --> 00:03:57,000
Speaker 1: just really excited to now have an opportunity to prove it.

90
00:03:57,000 --> 00:03:58,520
Speaker 1: You know, this on this one counts and we're gonna,

91
00:03:58,600 --> 00:04:00,720
Speaker 1: you know, have seventeen games at les Us to prove

92
00:04:00,720 --> 00:04:03,320
Speaker 1: who we are. What does this do for your own

93
00:04:03,360 --> 00:04:06,520
Speaker 1: personal confidence level? Because it seems like the way you've

94
00:04:06,560 --> 00:04:12,720
Speaker 1: talked this whole preseason strikes me as you being so

95
00:04:12,800 --> 00:04:15,560
Speaker 1: much more confident quarterback. I think it's done a lot

96
00:04:15,600 --> 00:04:17,760
Speaker 1: for me, you know, I think the trust that I

97
00:04:17,839 --> 00:04:20,040
Speaker 1: have and all the guys around me is is really

98
00:04:20,160 --> 00:04:23,279
Speaker 1: high right now. Um. And like you said, I've I've

99
00:04:23,360 --> 00:04:25,000
Speaker 1: learned a lot in the past year, and you know,

100
00:04:25,040 --> 00:04:26,840
Speaker 1: a lot of good are a lot of a lot

101
00:04:26,880 --> 00:04:29,880
Speaker 1: of bad, some good too, um, and just things that

102
00:04:29,920 --> 00:04:31,760
Speaker 1: I've learned from. And I think having that confidence of

103
00:04:31,839 --> 00:04:35,200
Speaker 1: experience is a thing too. And then obviously having really

104
00:04:35,240 --> 00:04:38,360
Speaker 1: good players around you helps anyone's confidence. So just trusting

105
00:04:38,360 --> 00:04:40,960
Speaker 1: those guys, the guys up front, guys in the perimeter,

106
00:04:41,360 --> 00:04:45,480
Speaker 1: the running backs. We got just really really excited conversations

107
00:04:45,480 --> 00:04:48,040
Speaker 1: at all with Trayvon about the pressure of being the

108
00:04:48,120 --> 00:04:50,760
Speaker 1: number one or road pick, or the ramp up to

109
00:04:50,800 --> 00:04:52,800
Speaker 1: the season different than what he's already gone through, and

110
00:04:52,920 --> 00:04:56,600
Speaker 1: you guys related all in that context. We've had some conversation.

111
00:04:56,600 --> 00:04:58,719
Speaker 1: It's not necessarily about that, I think, just in general

112
00:04:58,880 --> 00:05:01,279
Speaker 1: life stuff. You know, we'll talk every once in a while.

113
00:05:01,320 --> 00:05:04,400
Speaker 1: And I think the way he carries himself is gonna

114
00:05:04,440 --> 00:05:07,000
Speaker 1: serve him well. Just not a guy that has a

115
00:05:07,040 --> 00:05:09,600
Speaker 1: big spotlight on him just because he's he doesn't attract

116
00:05:09,680 --> 00:05:12,240
Speaker 1: any attention. And that's something that I respect a lot

117
00:05:12,279 --> 00:05:14,960
Speaker 1: about him. Um, And I think he's gonna be just fine.

118
00:05:14,960 --> 00:05:17,320
Speaker 1: We got a bunch of people around him to help him. Um,

119
00:05:17,360 --> 00:05:19,200
Speaker 1: he's not. If I did talk to him and be

120
00:05:19,240 --> 00:05:20,560
Speaker 1: you're not doing on your own. We're all in this

121
00:05:20,680 --> 00:05:22,800
Speaker 1: with you, and that's and that's the message. But that's

122
00:05:22,839 --> 00:05:25,039
Speaker 1: the message through the whole team anyway. So I don't

123
00:05:25,040 --> 00:05:28,240
Speaker 1: think he feels too much pressure right now. Um. Obviously

124
00:05:28,440 --> 00:05:30,760
Speaker 1: as the year goes on, there's gonna be ups and downs,

125
00:05:30,760 --> 00:05:32,599
Speaker 1: and that's just the way the way the NFL is

126
00:05:32,640 --> 00:05:34,400
Speaker 1: like some game. It's the same thing during games the

127
00:05:34,400 --> 00:05:36,560
Speaker 1: ebbs and flow, and you just gotta stick to it.

128
00:05:36,600 --> 00:05:38,360
Speaker 1: And that's the big thing. Our message to the team

129
00:05:38,440 --> 00:05:41,120
Speaker 1: is just um, games aren't gonna always go your way,

130
00:05:41,160 --> 00:05:42,719
Speaker 1: but you gotta find a way to finish. And good

131
00:05:42,720 --> 00:05:45,320
Speaker 1: teams do that, so same thing in a season. And

132
00:05:45,360 --> 00:05:47,559
Speaker 1: I think Trayvon is gonna learn that as it goes.

133
00:05:47,600 --> 00:05:50,080
Speaker 1: But the way he carries himself, he's gonna be He's

134
00:05:50,080 --> 00:05:51,800
Speaker 1: gonna be fine. I don't worry bout him at all.

135
00:05:53,320 --> 00:05:56,479
Speaker 1: You guys are picking number one overall from two hours

136
00:05:56,800 --> 00:05:59,160
Speaker 1: within each other. It's pretty crazy. Yeah, it is. It

137
00:05:59,279 --> 00:06:01,480
Speaker 1: is crazy, And that's guy I've I've seen the last

138
00:06:01,480 --> 00:06:03,200
Speaker 1: couple of years, and I kind of have my I

139
00:06:03,520 --> 00:06:05,480
Speaker 1: never really thought that we end up playing together, and

140
00:06:05,600 --> 00:06:08,520
Speaker 1: to now be on the same team and to see

141
00:06:08,560 --> 00:06:10,760
Speaker 1: the way that the whole team has come together is

142
00:06:10,839 --> 00:06:14,440
Speaker 1: really cool. When you start looking at this commander's defense

143
00:06:14,480 --> 00:06:17,120
Speaker 1: and then look at what the offense did over the preseason,

144
00:06:17,360 --> 00:06:18,840
Speaker 1: do you kind of look at the game plan and say,

145
00:06:18,880 --> 00:06:20,560
Speaker 1: they have no idea what we're getting ready to come

146
00:06:20,560 --> 00:06:22,000
Speaker 1: out there and do. And that give you a little

147
00:06:22,000 --> 00:06:25,640
Speaker 1: bit of like a step on them to start the game. Yes,

148
00:06:25,680 --> 00:06:28,039
Speaker 1: and no, I mean yes, because I'm confident in what

149
00:06:28,040 --> 00:06:30,080
Speaker 1: we're doing and the plan that we've put together so far,

150
00:06:30,200 --> 00:06:32,320
Speaker 1: and I feel great about I think the guys love it.

151
00:06:32,360 --> 00:06:35,240
Speaker 1: I know we're really excited. But also the same way,

152
00:06:35,320 --> 00:06:37,599
Speaker 1: we don't know exactly what they're gonna do, because you know,

153
00:06:37,720 --> 00:06:39,960
Speaker 1: first first couple of games this season are always like that,

154
00:06:40,200 --> 00:06:42,479
Speaker 1: you're going off last year's film in the past and

155
00:06:42,520 --> 00:06:45,200
Speaker 1: obviously the same decordinator, but you never know what new

156
00:06:45,200 --> 00:06:47,960
Speaker 1: wrinkles they're gonna they're gonna have. And obviously this is

157
00:06:47,960 --> 00:06:50,159
Speaker 1: a team where you know coach Peterson and Press and

158
00:06:50,200 --> 00:06:51,720
Speaker 1: a lot of those A lot of our coaches played

159
00:06:51,720 --> 00:06:53,640
Speaker 1: against them there in the same division for a while,

160
00:06:53,760 --> 00:06:55,840
Speaker 1: so they have a history. So I'm sure they'll have

161
00:06:56,360 --> 00:06:58,080
Speaker 1: they'll have a plan for us, just like we have

162
00:06:58,120 --> 00:07:01,080
Speaker 1: a plan for them, and it's really about executing that

163
00:07:01,160 --> 00:07:03,240
Speaker 1: and then adjusting as you go on. Okay, what are

164
00:07:03,240 --> 00:07:05,040
Speaker 1: they what are they actually doing? And you know, making

165
00:07:05,040 --> 00:07:07,560
Speaker 1: those in game adjustments. But I'm yes'm I'm really excited,

166
00:07:07,560 --> 00:07:09,880
Speaker 1: and I think we've got a great plan. Culture has

167
00:07:09,880 --> 00:07:12,240
Speaker 1: sloped in a year. If not anything to do, how

168
00:07:12,280 --> 00:07:14,880
Speaker 1: do you gauge your measure or quantify that it's that

169
00:07:14,960 --> 00:07:17,960
Speaker 1: it's term like that. Yeah, I mean I think it's

170
00:07:18,120 --> 00:07:20,280
Speaker 1: you can just feel it, you know in the building, um,

171
00:07:20,360 --> 00:07:24,080
Speaker 1: in the locker room with the coaches everything. The positivity

172
00:07:24,120 --> 00:07:26,400
Speaker 1: of the confidence that people are walking around with. I

173
00:07:26,400 --> 00:07:28,560
Speaker 1: think that's the main thing. And then like I was

174
00:07:28,600 --> 00:07:31,280
Speaker 1: kind of hitting at is, yes, it's it's changed, and

175
00:07:31,480 --> 00:07:33,040
Speaker 1: I think it's in a great spot. But it's all

176
00:07:33,080 --> 00:07:35,640
Speaker 1: it's about maintaining that. It's not that's that's something that

177
00:07:35,680 --> 00:07:38,520
Speaker 1: you can lose obviously, you know here in other places

178
00:07:38,560 --> 00:07:41,720
Speaker 1: that's happened before. So it's about really every day putting

179
00:07:41,720 --> 00:07:43,640
Speaker 1: your best foot forward. Do you need to win to

180
00:07:43,720 --> 00:07:47,640
Speaker 1: kind of validate everything you guys have done? Coaches, the

181
00:07:47,640 --> 00:07:50,560
Speaker 1: direction you guys are enditing, I wouldn't say, and I

182
00:07:50,560 --> 00:07:53,440
Speaker 1: wouldn't phrase it that way. Um, it's a tricky one there.

183
00:07:53,640 --> 00:07:59,600
Speaker 1: Uh but but but how much validate I mean when

184
00:07:59,640 --> 00:08:02,520
Speaker 1: obvious see that's that's that's the plan, that's the goal,

185
00:08:02,600 --> 00:08:04,560
Speaker 1: and we feel we feel great about, like I said,

186
00:08:04,560 --> 00:08:07,280
Speaker 1: our game plan and how we've we've prepared ourselves. But

187
00:08:07,320 --> 00:08:09,880
Speaker 1: at the same at the same time, just you know,

188
00:08:09,920 --> 00:08:11,680
Speaker 1: if you lose the first game, you got sixteen more,

189
00:08:11,800 --> 00:08:14,960
Speaker 1: still make the playoffs, still got everything ahead of you, So, um,

190
00:08:15,120 --> 00:08:17,320
Speaker 1: well we're gonna go. We're gonna take it as we go,

191
00:08:17,480 --> 00:08:20,520
Speaker 1: And honestly, I feel feel really confident. So it's not

192
00:08:20,560 --> 00:08:22,880
Speaker 1: a thought that we're there's no thought of losing, But

193
00:08:23,280 --> 00:08:25,480
Speaker 1: there's no thought of if we lose this game, you

194
00:08:25,520 --> 00:08:28,080
Speaker 1: know this, all the work we've done is gone. That's

195
00:08:28,080 --> 00:08:30,040
Speaker 1: not how it works either. So it's just about having

196
00:08:30,040 --> 00:08:32,960
Speaker 1: that mindset. The best start help the confidence in the

197
00:08:32,960 --> 00:08:36,959
Speaker 1: locker room and in the building going through. Definitely, definitely,

198
00:08:36,960 --> 00:08:40,040
Speaker 1: I think to your point though, the confidence that would

199
00:08:40,040 --> 00:08:42,320
Speaker 1: bring just to be able to show the work we've

200
00:08:42,320 --> 00:08:44,520
Speaker 1: put in and um, where I feel like we are

201
00:08:44,559 --> 00:08:47,079
Speaker 1: as a team, and how much we've improved, and how

202
00:08:47,120 --> 00:08:48,920
Speaker 1: prepared we are to be able to get a win

203
00:08:48,920 --> 00:08:50,760
Speaker 1: and started season. Want to know, I think it'd be

204
00:08:50,840 --> 00:08:54,560
Speaker 1: huge for our team, the city, just the fan base

205
00:08:54,880 --> 00:08:59,000
Speaker 1: all the way around. So that's that's the plan. This

206
00:08:59,120 --> 00:09:06,800
Speaker 1: franchises law to the energy, No idea, no idea. I

207
00:09:06,800 --> 00:09:11,080
Speaker 1: don't really care too much. You get excited about the

208
00:09:11,120 --> 00:09:13,760
Speaker 1: game plan. I mean I'm setting pretty excited about what

209
00:09:13,800 --> 00:09:15,640
Speaker 1: you got to plan and do every week. Conscious that

210
00:09:16,360 --> 00:09:20,320
Speaker 1: change Rock season. I mean the game plan changes because

211
00:09:20,320 --> 00:09:24,199
Speaker 1: of you're playing or or um. I mean, it varies

212
00:09:24,240 --> 00:09:27,280
Speaker 1: week to week. You face some teams that have a

213
00:09:27,320 --> 00:09:30,120
Speaker 1: similar the coaches come from a similar tree, you know,

214
00:09:30,200 --> 00:09:32,080
Speaker 1: so it's you see a lot of the same things.

215
00:09:32,160 --> 00:09:35,320
Speaker 1: But I mean, you have your offense in and that's

216
00:09:35,640 --> 00:09:37,440
Speaker 1: what you always go back to when you make a

217
00:09:37,440 --> 00:09:40,640
Speaker 1: game plan. So everyone is typically familiar with what we're

218
00:09:40,640 --> 00:09:42,520
Speaker 1: putting in. We just make it look different or maybe

219
00:09:42,559 --> 00:09:44,319
Speaker 1: we didn't carry it the week before, but it's still

220
00:09:44,360 --> 00:09:47,600
Speaker 1: a part of our offense. So that is constantly changing.

221
00:09:47,640 --> 00:09:50,520
Speaker 1: You know, you don't carry everything that we did in camp,

222
00:09:50,559 --> 00:09:52,560
Speaker 1: you know, all the installs, however many of them there were.

223
00:09:52,640 --> 00:09:54,520
Speaker 1: We don't carry all that into a game plan. You know,

224
00:09:54,559 --> 00:09:56,439
Speaker 1: you pick and choose what fits the team you're playing

225
00:09:56,480 --> 00:09:59,199
Speaker 1: best and and go from there. So that that changes

226
00:09:59,240 --> 00:10:03,640
Speaker 1: a lot you with your identity and as a team. UM,

227
00:10:03,679 --> 00:10:09,280
Speaker 1: I mean, what do you mean offensively? Defensively? Offensively, I mean,

228
00:10:09,280 --> 00:10:11,760
Speaker 1: I think we're a really hard nosed team up frontum

229
00:10:11,840 --> 00:10:13,400
Speaker 1: that can run the ball. I think we're going to

230
00:10:13,480 --> 00:10:16,000
Speaker 1: create a lot of explosives down the field. That's something

231
00:10:16,040 --> 00:10:18,280
Speaker 1: that I'm really confident with the guys we have. I

232
00:10:18,280 --> 00:10:20,600
Speaker 1: think we've got a couple of great backs. Um, and

233
00:10:20,600 --> 00:10:21,880
Speaker 1: that those are kind of that goes to by our

234
00:10:21,920 --> 00:10:25,600
Speaker 1: offensive commandments, you know, protect the football, create explosives, um

235
00:10:25,800 --> 00:10:28,040
Speaker 1: ball security, all those things. And there's a there's more

236
00:10:28,040 --> 00:10:30,440
Speaker 1: of them too. You know we could talk about but um,

237
00:10:30,480 --> 00:10:31,880
Speaker 1: and that's just what we live by. Us Who we

238
00:10:31,920 --> 00:10:34,600
Speaker 1: try to be a captain this year? How much does

239
00:10:34,600 --> 00:10:36,200
Speaker 1: that mean to you just know when it's coming from

240
00:10:36,280 --> 00:10:40,199
Speaker 1: the locker room, it's huge. You know. Obviously was named

241
00:10:40,240 --> 00:10:42,440
Speaker 1: to captain last year, which was a big honor as

242
00:10:42,440 --> 00:10:44,439
Speaker 1: a rookie. You know that's something that I don't take lightly.

243
00:10:44,480 --> 00:10:46,040
Speaker 1: And then the same thing this year with a lot

244
00:10:46,040 --> 00:10:48,960
Speaker 1: of new faces. Um, there's there's I think there's what

245
00:10:49,400 --> 00:10:52,080
Speaker 1: there's five of us that are captains, and I really

246
00:10:52,160 --> 00:10:53,920
Speaker 1: think that's a great group to represent this team. But

247
00:10:53,920 --> 00:10:55,720
Speaker 1: there's plenty of other leaders. You know, I've said it before,

248
00:10:55,720 --> 00:10:57,640
Speaker 1: there's a lot of other guys that represent the team.

249
00:10:57,640 --> 00:11:00,800
Speaker 1: All of the guys do. And I'm really confident in

250
00:11:00,800 --> 00:11:03,200
Speaker 1: how everyone will carry themselves and just a great group

251
00:11:03,240 --> 00:11:05,240
Speaker 1: to be with. And I'm excited. And you've talked before

252
00:11:05,240 --> 00:11:07,240
Speaker 1: about Pocks out of r C. James drops him back

Speaker 1: a front row seat to see his recovery and um,

258
00:11:18,480 --> 00:11:20,920
Speaker 1: the challenges with that and just how hard he's worked
