Probably. I was about 0:01:23.480 --> 0:01:26.400 two hundred miles from San Francisco. For I turned around. 0:01:27.440 --> 0:01:28.240 How many miles? 0:01:28.280 --> 0:01:31.240 About two hundred miles from San Francisco, about three hundred 0:01:31.240 --> 0:01:34.040 and eighty very far. Yeah, No, it's three hundred and 0:01:34.040 --> 0:01:36.280 eighty to San Francisco and I got up to about 0:01:36.319 --> 0:01:36.959 two hundred. 0:01:37.280 --> 0:01:38.920 Can we turn our cameras around? 0:01:39.120 --> 0:01:39.280 Yeah? 0:01:39.319 --> 0:01:41.880 Yeah, turn out came. We got we got Dack throwing 0:01:41.920 --> 0:01:44.640 the bat, throwing the ball way up and there we 0:01:45.920 --> 0:01:46.640 medicine ball. 0:01:46.760 --> 0:01:48.360 Ye had the medicine ball. I want to get that 0:01:48.400 --> 0:01:50.720 on camera, going to quickly? 0:01:50.800 --> 0:01:56.720 You want me to film that? Yeah, come on back back? 0:01:57.800 --> 0:02:00.800 So wow? Anyway, well were it? 0:02:01.040 --> 0:02:02.320 Deck's work it out right. 0:02:03.640 --> 0:02:06.600 Hey, he's getting his morning workout in before our big 0:02:07.000 --> 0:02:10.960 practice at two pm when the Rams come. 0:02:10.800 --> 0:02:14.040 To our house. Today, be a very exciting day here. 0:02:14.160 --> 0:02:15.280 What are you looking for, Nate? 0:02:16.320 --> 0:02:18.639 I'm looking for news and notes and well, who's injured 0:02:18.680 --> 0:02:20.320 and who's not before we even started. 0:02:23.200 --> 0:02:25.480 I want to know everything, you know, Mick. 0:02:25.760 --> 0:02:29.839 Well, we had a walk through yesterday, okay, or as 0:02:29.919 --> 0:02:33.799 they called it, a mock game, yes, and so there 0:02:33.800 --> 0:02:36.400 really wasn't a practice. We got a chance to talk 0:02:36.480 --> 0:02:42.280 to the Cowboys assistant coaches, not the coordinators, the assistant 0:02:42.400 --> 0:02:45.960 so we got to uh do that. Uh if the 0:02:46.320 --> 0:02:53.440 walkthrough meant anything, it looked like Tyler Geiton was out 0:02:53.480 --> 0:02:57.600 there with the first team offense. So we'll see if 0:02:57.639 --> 0:03:00.960 he's ready to jump back into practice. Uh he had 0:03:00.960 --> 0:03:04.360 a chess cold. Did you ever miss practice with a 0:03:04.440 --> 0:03:05.000 chess cold? 0:03:05.400 --> 0:03:05.600 Yet? 0:03:05.720 --> 0:03:09.320 No, because we had vixed vapor rub and we put 0:03:09.320 --> 0:03:11.239 it on our chest and they hit us in the 0:03:11.360 --> 0:03:12.800 chest and in the back of a couple of times. 0:03:12.919 --> 0:03:16.160 We threw up whatever, and then we got out there 0:03:16.160 --> 0:03:19.720 in practice. Okay, a new style of player. They're just 0:03:19.760 --> 0:03:23.040 as tough, just as physical. I'm not knocking a little 0:03:23.120 --> 0:03:25.360 vix vapor rub with a hot rag over it. 0:03:25.800 --> 0:03:28.679 All right, here's here's the moment. Yes, all right, we'll 0:03:28.680 --> 0:03:29.440 get back to it. 0:03:29.600 --> 0:03:39.000 So while uho video in here, we'll go on. So 0:03:39.040 --> 0:03:41.440 maybe get will be ready to practice today. 0:03:41.680 --> 0:03:44.760 Yes, we need to sund to see young guy. 0:03:45.000 --> 0:03:48.240 We need to see him get in every rep that 0:03:48.280 --> 0:03:54.840 he's gonna get because right now Tuma Adoga has been 0:03:54.880 --> 0:03:57.440 in and out and our one constant guy has been. 0:03:57.360 --> 0:04:00.360 Austin Richards right and he and he's doing a nice job. 0:04:00.760 --> 0:04:04.280 But they want to see the competition between Tchuma and 0:04:04.360 --> 0:04:07.040 guiding and giving guid and a first shot it at 0:04:07.080 --> 0:04:08.200 being that startup and. 0:04:08.160 --> 0:04:11.800 We'll see if they how much they would put the 0:04:11.840 --> 0:04:14.560 first team guys out here in this practice. I would 0:04:14.600 --> 0:04:18.080 imagine since it's a practice, they will do this more 0:04:18.160 --> 0:04:22.080 than they will against the Rams in the in the 0:04:22.120 --> 0:04:26.320 preseason game because this is controlled. Because I saw them, 0:04:26.400 --> 0:04:29.680 it looked like they were doing some stuff getting ready. 0:04:29.480 --> 0:04:31.520 For the Rams game. 0:04:32.320 --> 0:04:36.120 Uh, and they were working awesome as the left guard, 0:04:36.839 --> 0:04:39.719 and they were looking working t J. Bass as the 0:04:39.839 --> 0:04:45.480 right guard. So they're not going to put Zach Martin 0:04:45.560 --> 0:04:48.320 out there, maybe not even Tyler Smith. 0:04:51.080 --> 0:04:53.440 Lam in this in this in this practice. 0:04:53.440 --> 0:04:59.640 Coaches love practices and scrimmages against other teams. It gives 0:04:59.640 --> 0:05:02.760 you chance as a player to go up against different 0:05:02.800 --> 0:05:06.680 talent with different styles. You maybe have the same over 0:05:06.720 --> 0:05:09.799 and under defense, but it's a different player that's gonna 0:05:09.800 --> 0:05:12.120 give you a different deal. Like a few years ago 0:05:12.160 --> 0:05:15.640 when Aaron Donald was here, that was a whole different level. 0:05:16.160 --> 0:05:18.839 A player got to say, Okay, this is what I 0:05:18.880 --> 0:05:22.880 really need to work on because I've seen number fifty eight, 0:05:25.240 --> 0:05:28.320 I've seen Mazi for thirty days, but this right here 0:05:28.440 --> 0:05:30.920 is something special when you see Aaron Donald. So it's 0:05:30.920 --> 0:05:34.320 the same whereas you can bet with Parsons lineup at 0:05:34.720 --> 0:05:38.080 at the defensive imposition. These there are times to be 0:05:38.120 --> 0:05:40.760 like WHOA, this is different, and so it gives you 0:05:41.360 --> 0:05:44.040 a mindset where you may have to hell, okay, I'm 0:05:44.040 --> 0:05:44.880 at the right level. 0:05:44.880 --> 0:05:47.240 Are you amo to raise your game the way you practice? 0:05:47.600 --> 0:05:53.520 So, since you asked about guys still rehabbing over shown, 0:05:53.600 --> 0:05:57.440 they're kind of slow playing him right now. They know 0:05:57.720 --> 0:06:00.960 he's coming back from that ACL and the other day 0:06:01.000 --> 0:06:04.960 I saw him hop off practice after a player or two. 0:06:05.000 --> 0:06:07.800 Now he came back, but they're kind of slow playing 0:06:07.839 --> 0:06:11.320 it and looked like yesterday he was going through rehab. 0:06:11.800 --> 0:06:18.160 Royce Freeman, the same thing, soft tissue injury Trayvon Diggs. 0:06:18.200 --> 0:06:23.200 While he has been out there, it's been seven on 0:06:23.400 --> 0:06:27.720 seven in pads, but not team. My guess is they 0:06:27.760 --> 0:06:32.839 don't put them in team until Tuesday. He's not going 0:06:32.920 --> 0:06:36.719 to play in the preseason. I don't think they got 0:06:36.720 --> 0:06:42.800 a practice on Friday, really a walkthrough on Saturday, travel 0:06:42.880 --> 0:06:46.480 to La Sunday. It's a day off on Monday, so 0:06:46.600 --> 0:06:49.680 Tuesday would be the next big practice day. 0:06:49.800 --> 0:06:52.440 They're practicing Friday, but I bet they don't put them 0:06:52.480 --> 0:06:56.440 in team yet. But he's close and he's moving awfully well. 0:06:56.520 --> 0:06:57.760 I don't know if what you. 0:06:57.720 --> 0:06:58.800 Guys have noticed. 0:07:00.279 --> 0:07:04.000 About these guys and miss Britt Brown is doing it 0:07:04.040 --> 0:07:05.839 is each one of them got their own snap count 0:07:06.360 --> 0:07:08.760 each guy, how many plays they want them to go out, 0:07:08.839 --> 0:07:10.800 percentage of practice they want them to go, and what 0:07:11.320 --> 0:07:13.400 drills they want them in and don't want them in. 0:07:13.560 --> 0:07:15.840 So they're being real careful about that. 0:07:16.160 --> 0:07:20.119 The most important thing here is we know that these 0:07:20.160 --> 0:07:23.520 guys needs a structurally sound What you have to be 0:07:23.560 --> 0:07:27.760 weary of now is you gott understand your quads and 0:07:27.800 --> 0:07:31.880 your calves and your hamstrings. Now got to go out 0:07:31.920 --> 0:07:34.080 on this field and do a different deal. It ain't 0:07:34.080 --> 0:07:37.600 a control workout or control where you know what's going on. 0:07:37.960 --> 0:07:40.760 When you trying to recover receiver. You can be twisted up, 0:07:40.800 --> 0:07:43.320 bent any type way. So before you just get a 0:07:43.360 --> 0:07:46.760 guy exploding the muscles everywhere like that, you got to 0:07:46.800 --> 0:07:49.920 give them time to ramp up to this type of pace. 0:07:50.160 --> 0:07:53.400 Also, you know we've talked earlier about how Mike Zimmer 0:07:53.440 --> 0:07:56.000 has been meeting with Michael Persons early in the morning 0:07:56.120 --> 0:07:59.680 and Trayvon Diggs, both in the same realm, and it 0:07:59.800 --> 0:08:02.680 takes one moment for you know, them to discuss Hey, 0:08:02.720 --> 0:08:04.720 this is what's going to be happening, and here's different 0:08:04.720 --> 0:08:07.760 plays and everything. But when Trayvon's coming back from this injury, 0:08:08.200 --> 0:08:11.320 and as it's a slow progression for him getting onto 0:08:11.360 --> 0:08:13.480 the field, it's gonna take a little bit of time 0:08:13.520 --> 0:08:16.600 to connect the dots and it is going back to 0:08:16.640 --> 0:08:20.280 the mentality. Yes he is physically ready, but you still 0:08:20.280 --> 0:08:23.720 have to slowly be implementing those plays on the field, 0:08:23.720 --> 0:08:25.280 and that's going to take a little bit more time 0:08:25.320 --> 0:08:25.800 if you ask me. 0:08:26.040 --> 0:08:28.440 So, you know how the players say, you gotta stay 0:08:28.480 --> 0:08:31.680 where your feet are, Gotta stay where your shoes are too. 0:08:31.840 --> 0:08:34.880 Got to get used to wearing your cleats, be walking 0:08:34.960 --> 0:08:36.560 out there barefoot. 0:08:37.400 --> 0:08:38.280 Oh and I found out. 0:08:38.280 --> 0:08:40.560 I went to one of the trainers and say, is 0:08:40.600 --> 0:08:41.920 there anything behind this? 0:08:42.360 --> 0:08:43.559 Yeah, he's just different. 0:08:44.400 --> 0:08:47.800 I knew it. Yeah, he's just different. 0:08:48.200 --> 0:08:48.400 You know. 0:08:48.440 --> 0:08:50.440 He come out there with his water bottle, with his 0:08:50.520 --> 0:08:54.240 shoes off. He just he's just a different guys. That's 0:08:54.240 --> 0:08:56.880 a high level guy, just like a great singer. Just 0:08:57.000 --> 0:08:59.560 a little bit eccentric, you know, may be my own thing. 0:09:00.240 --> 0:09:04.120 So one of the things that I'll be interested to see, 0:09:05.880 --> 0:09:09.680 not only in this scrimmage, but the preseason game on 0:09:09.840 --> 0:09:14.160 Sunday is the running back position. You know, we keep 0:09:14.240 --> 0:09:17.080 hearing about, oh, we're going to do this running back 0:09:17.160 --> 0:09:21.439 by committee. Well, I think we sort of know who 0:09:21.520 --> 0:09:24.080 the top two guys in the committee are, right yeah, 0:09:24.520 --> 0:09:29.800 Ezekiel Elliott and Rico Down. Yeah, and that's kind of 0:09:29.800 --> 0:09:31.240 how they've been using them right. 0:09:31.120 --> 0:09:32.320 Now, Yes, sir, Yes, sir. 0:09:33.679 --> 0:09:38.400 Zeke's been out there majority first and second, Rico kind 0:09:38.400 --> 0:09:40.560 of the third down back, and then they kind of 0:09:41.840 --> 0:09:42.520 switch it up. 0:09:42.880 --> 0:09:43.160 Now. 0:09:44.040 --> 0:09:47.440 When we talked to Jeff Glasco yesterday, I talked to 0:09:47.520 --> 0:09:50.280 him the day before also on the running back committee, 0:09:50.280 --> 0:09:52.880 and he thinks that you know, what they've seen so 0:09:53.040 --> 0:09:56.160 far from these guys that you know they'll be able 0:09:56.240 --> 0:09:59.240 to do what they want to do. Pointed out that, 0:09:59.360 --> 0:10:01.920 you know, a lot the teams in the league don't 0:10:01.960 --> 0:10:04.360 have just one dog doing all the work. 0:10:04.720 --> 0:10:07.040 That they're using multiple running backs. 0:10:07.040 --> 0:10:11.439 So I thought the third guy had been Royce Freeman, 0:10:11.600 --> 0:10:15.200 which I thought was somewhat surprising because when you looked 0:10:15.240 --> 0:10:18.000 at his track record, you know, other than his first 0:10:18.080 --> 0:10:21.880 two years in the league, he really hasn't been that active. 0:10:23.200 --> 0:10:23.920 With teams. 0:10:24.720 --> 0:10:27.920 Last year he got a little bit more exposure and 0:10:27.960 --> 0:10:30.800 then he ended up with I think it's a hamstring 0:10:31.960 --> 0:10:35.480 or growing and he has missed the last few practices, 0:10:35.520 --> 0:10:38.400 but he kind of was running as the third guy. 0:10:38.440 --> 0:10:41.079 I don't know if he made an impression on you 0:10:41.120 --> 0:10:44.640 guys or have you noticed anything about Freeman. 0:10:45.080 --> 0:10:48.000 Well, I think he made a big impression on coaches. 0:10:48.040 --> 0:10:51.600 Even coach McCarthy was saying the other day how great 0:10:51.640 --> 0:10:54.360 it's been having him on this roster, but also how 0:10:54.400 --> 0:10:56.600 he was also going to be a big contributor to 0:10:56.800 --> 0:10:59.680 even special teams. So you know, it's unfortunate that he's 0:10:59.679 --> 0:11:03.280 missing these practices and hopefully this injury isn't something that's 0:11:03.320 --> 0:11:04.319 more long lasting. 0:11:04.600 --> 0:11:07.000 I think that there's a lot of use for Royce Freeman. 0:11:07.240 --> 0:11:10.480 He's a bigger body for this running back position, and 0:11:10.640 --> 0:11:12.920 they might be able to utilize him as far as 0:11:13.160 --> 0:11:15.400 you know, even red zone something like that is what 0:11:15.480 --> 0:11:16.960 I'm kind of envisioning for him. 0:11:17.640 --> 0:11:22.160 Nay I yeah, you know, make sometime, you know, this 0:11:22.240 --> 0:11:25.760 old dude gets stuck. And right about eyes on, it's 0:11:25.800 --> 0:11:28.040 only three guys. I'm looking at the rest of them. 0:11:28.080 --> 0:11:31.360 Got to show me through pre season. Ezekiel, ric o'dono 0:11:31.840 --> 0:11:36.319 and uh Hunter Limpke when they're in. I watched when 0:11:36.320 --> 0:11:39.040 the other running backs in. I'm just like, okay, I'm 0:11:39.080 --> 0:11:40.160 just we'll see. 0:11:40.080 --> 0:11:41.880 Yeah, yeah, I have to I. 0:11:41.880 --> 0:11:45.679 Really really have to see, you know, because we can't 0:11:45.679 --> 0:11:48.760 count Deuce Van. He got another year under his belt 0:11:48.760 --> 0:11:51.360 and trying to understand what this league is about and 0:11:51.400 --> 0:11:52.360 is speed of this league? 0:11:52.440 --> 0:11:55.160 So and and he's been missing practice. 0:11:55.200 --> 0:11:59.040 Ye, he's been missing practice. So I'm just saying, when 0:11:59.040 --> 0:12:01.599 you go into a pre he's in game. And unfortunately 0:12:01.679 --> 0:12:05.079 they don't do this out here and doing scrimmages or 0:12:05.840 --> 0:12:09.640 practices against other teams. Is you don't too much worry 0:12:09.679 --> 0:12:13.720 about who run in at running back. First, watch who's 0:12:13.760 --> 0:12:18.720 playing special teams first, right, That'll tell you real quick. 0:12:19.640 --> 0:12:21.960 If they like Ross Spreeman and they keep talking about 0:12:21.960 --> 0:12:25.040 special teams, if they like Billy Johnson, they keep talking 0:12:25.040 --> 0:12:27.920 about special team, Let's see where they're at and how 0:12:27.920 --> 0:12:30.839 many special teams they're on. That is what you look at, 0:12:31.160 --> 0:12:33.920 and that'll tell you who they really looking at. 0:12:34.200 --> 0:12:38.880 So I think if we talk about the top three, yeah, 0:12:39.080 --> 0:12:40.120 Lipicky's the third. 0:12:40.400 --> 0:12:40.920 Yeah. Yeah. 0:12:41.080 --> 0:12:43.599 The way they're using them right now, he's a fullback, 0:12:44.120 --> 0:12:47.680 but they're they're employing the full back a little bit more. 0:12:47.720 --> 0:12:50.720 It seems like in different areas than they did last 0:12:50.760 --> 0:12:51.640 year so far. 0:12:51.920 --> 0:12:55.680 And there's no hesitation when when they say when they 0:12:55.880 --> 0:12:59.440 move a team, oh the seventh period, second and third down, 0:12:59.600 --> 0:13:04.280 Long is the first guy that even before uh, before 0:13:06.200 --> 0:13:08.439 of the kid Rico do he is the first guy 0:13:08.520 --> 0:13:12.280 running out there with uh. With that, I'm like, okay, 0:13:12.760 --> 0:13:15.360 So that is what I've been noticing. That's what I've 0:13:15.360 --> 0:13:17.240 been noticing. Now, maybe they didn't want that out there, 0:13:17.240 --> 0:13:18.760 but I'm giving you on some news. 0:13:19.720 --> 0:13:23.319 Well, he's they've had him lined up as a true 0:13:23.360 --> 0:13:26.880 full back, yes, with two back system. They had him 0:13:27.040 --> 0:13:30.959 lined up in a two back system, but offset over 0:13:31.040 --> 0:13:35.880 by the tackle yard and then and then they've been 0:13:36.000 --> 0:13:39.719 using him as a one back in a lot of situations, 0:13:39.920 --> 0:13:43.839 even on third down situations. So he kind of reminds 0:13:43.880 --> 0:13:49.960 me of Mike's full back in Green Bay QN. 0:13:50.400 --> 0:13:52.439 I forgot his first name, forgot. 0:13:52.480 --> 0:13:54.960 All I know is he ripped the Cowboys one year 0:13:55.040 --> 0:13:57.000 for like three touchdowns. 0:13:56.840 --> 0:13:57.320 In the game. 0:13:58.040 --> 0:14:01.160 So, but uh, he likes to use the fullback and 0:14:01.240 --> 0:14:04.640 I think, uh Liftke looks a little like he's put 0:14:04.679 --> 0:14:09.640 on some uh not weight, but strength, like uh, muscle, 0:14:09.800 --> 0:14:14.080 he looks bigger. So you know, I think everybody last 0:14:14.120 --> 0:14:18.600 year remembers the goal line fumble in Miami. 0:14:18.360 --> 0:14:21.920 Right, that's that's his big Yeah, everyone somebody for that. 0:14:22.080 --> 0:14:25.400 But I was like, seriously, it was a mix up 0:14:25.440 --> 0:14:28.960 on who was supposed to get the ball, right, But 0:14:29.240 --> 0:14:33.240 I I like those three right now. And Blasco even said, 0:14:33.680 --> 0:14:36.720 you know, with this committee thing, they whoever gets put 0:14:36.800 --> 0:14:39.560 on the practice squad, you know, you can elevate a 0:14:39.640 --> 0:14:43.480 guy three times. Maybe in a particular game. They want 0:14:43.520 --> 0:14:48.040 to see Malik Davis out there, so we'll see. 0:14:47.800 --> 0:14:48.760 How it works out. 0:14:48.800 --> 0:14:52.760 But right now, from a production standpoint, I think Zeke's 0:14:52.840 --> 0:14:58.800 running just fine. Again as he said, especially for the 0:14:58.880 --> 0:15:01.720 running backs. And this is what we know, it's hard 0:15:01.760 --> 0:15:05.720 to judge until the bullets start flying, like the preseason game. 0:15:06.040 --> 0:15:07.920 Right now, I don't know that Zeke's going to be 0:15:07.960 --> 0:15:12.480 out there in that preseason game, but it'll be a 0:15:12.760 --> 0:15:17.640 well able to see what ric O'Donnell's doing. Malik Davis, 0:15:17.680 --> 0:15:21.400 Snoop Connor, Deuce needs to get himself back out there. 0:15:21.360 --> 0:15:25.720 A study rotation ye nicely and giving that opportunity to 0:15:25.880 --> 0:15:28.360 those guys to kind of showcas what they can do 0:15:28.480 --> 0:15:31.840 in preseason is going to be very important. But when 0:15:31.840 --> 0:15:34.640 it comes back to Hunter Lupkey, I really like his 0:15:34.760 --> 0:15:37.120 confidence right now too. He seems a little bit more 0:15:37.160 --> 0:15:40.480 comfortable in his second year. He knows exactly what he 0:15:40.560 --> 0:15:43.360 needs to kind of bring to the table. One quote 0:15:43.400 --> 0:15:45.520 that I really like from him, he turned off all 0:15:45.600 --> 0:15:47.560 social media this year. He was like, I want to 0:15:47.600 --> 0:15:50.680 focus just solely on football. But he said, your film 0:15:51.000 --> 0:15:55.480 is your resume. So he's in there watching film regularly, 0:15:56.560 --> 0:16:00.760 going back to exactly what he is, you know, showcasing, 0:16:00.840 --> 0:16:03.480 and he's trying to study to make himself a better player. 0:16:04.000 --> 0:16:09.400 The thing about being a cowboy player, it's just it's 0:16:09.440 --> 0:16:10.560 the same as the team. 0:16:11.280 --> 0:16:13.840 Half the people gonna love you and have the people 0:16:13.880 --> 0:16:14.440 gonna hate you. 0:16:14.960 --> 0:16:17.800 So if you're a big social media guy, this ain't 0:16:17.840 --> 0:16:19.960 the world you need to be in, right, you know, 0:16:20.040 --> 0:16:21.360 not in doing training have you? 0:16:21.680 --> 0:16:22.640 You have to be like Lympkey. 0:16:22.720 --> 0:16:25.480 You have to be like Lebron James when the playoff come, 0:16:25.840 --> 0:16:28.240 I don't need you, I don't need to hear you. 0:16:28.520 --> 0:16:30.640 I ain't got no extra tickets. It's over. 0:16:30.760 --> 0:16:33.120 I'm turning my phone off, I'm turning my computer off. 0:16:33.400 --> 0:16:35.240 And that is a smart thing that lip get's done. 0:16:35.240 --> 0:16:37.320 If it ain't his wife was young lady that he's 0:16:37.360 --> 0:16:39.600 close to. He don't need to hear from him. 0:16:39.640 --> 0:16:42.920 So it by the way, it's John Coon is John 0:16:43.600 --> 0:16:44.480 as the fullback and green. 0:16:44.640 --> 0:16:45.000 There you go. 0:16:45.960 --> 0:16:52.440 You came into the league twice, really as an undrafted 0:16:52.520 --> 0:16:55.600 free agent. Once with Washington R. I said, yes see, 0:16:55.960 --> 0:16:57.920 and then when you came to the Cowboys, it was 0:16:58.000 --> 0:17:00.920 almost the same thing all over income. So what your 0:17:01.480 --> 0:17:04.600 mentality when you're trying to make a team when you 0:17:04.680 --> 0:17:08.439 know you're undrafted and you got a tough hill to climb? 0:17:09.160 --> 0:17:11.679 You know, this is what I try to tell young guys. 0:17:12.560 --> 0:17:14.560 You you're gonna be at the back of the line, 0:17:14.760 --> 0:17:17.520 so you'll get to see all the mistakes. Don't go 0:17:17.640 --> 0:17:20.040 up there and make the same mistake at the guys 0:17:20.080 --> 0:17:23.000 before you don't. Don't make that mistake. Make sure you 0:17:23.040 --> 0:17:24.560 study your playbook. That's why I. 0:17:24.520 --> 0:17:27.080 Messed up in Washington. I wasn't a good studier. 0:17:27.200 --> 0:17:31.359 I didn't understand defenses, especially multiple moving defenses. 0:17:31.760 --> 0:17:33.680 It just blew my mind. I just freaked out. 0:17:34.080 --> 0:17:37.760 So I understand and the quicker You learn something and 0:17:37.840 --> 0:17:40.720 rehearse it and walk and walk throughs are very important. 0:17:41.040 --> 0:17:43.960 Now at the game begins to slow down, and now 0:17:44.000 --> 0:17:45.679 you can start to see things, and now you can 0:17:45.760 --> 0:17:49.800 let your athletic ability in your physical presence take over. 0:17:50.040 --> 0:17:51.240 And it took me a long time. 0:17:51.320 --> 0:17:53.920 It took me going to the US a veil and 0:17:54.000 --> 0:17:56.159 learning this and a coach believing in me. 0:17:57.160 --> 0:18:00.720 But every rep counts because you got a stand. 0:18:01.359 --> 0:18:05.320 This is wide receivers are getting the fourth and fifth 0:18:05.359 --> 0:18:09.800 guy are getting at least four extra catchers per practice 0:18:10.000 --> 0:18:12.360 because those four extra catchers will be going to see 0:18:12.400 --> 0:18:16.400 the lamb. The next three catchers will be going to cooks, 0:18:16.520 --> 0:18:18.000 and then it'll be split. 0:18:17.760 --> 0:18:22.400 Between uh turping and another guy. 0:18:22.480 --> 0:18:25.040 And so with the fifth guy and the tall guy, 0:18:25.080 --> 0:18:26.960 and every now and then they're throwing a ball and 0:18:27.080 --> 0:18:31.800 catch him off guard. That's how that's how few balls 0:18:31.800 --> 0:18:36.600 you would get. So every rep, you know, they were like, man, 0:18:36.640 --> 0:18:39.399 we're throwing the ball and he's dropped. And then somebody 0:18:39.520 --> 0:18:41.240 come to his defense. Well you ain't throwing with two 0:18:41.240 --> 0:18:44.440 balls in two days. Well he better catch those balls. 0:18:44.840 --> 0:18:49.600 So every rep counts. When I see all some riches, 0:18:49.640 --> 0:18:53.080 that's my man. But every time I see him technique 0:18:53.119 --> 0:18:56.480 technique technique, I walk downd. Hey, bro, keep your technique. 0:18:56.520 --> 0:18:58.439 I don't care out here and practice.

When I see him at practice, I wanna say, bruh, 0:19:05.359 --> 0:19:08.479 you don't know these guys.

That's what you do. 0:19:15.280 --> 0:19:17.879 You have to be a technique sound person. You have 0:19:17.960 --> 0:19:21.040 to know what to do, know the snap count, know 0:19:21.119 --> 0:19:23.440 who to block.
