<v Speaker 1>wait and how you feel and how quick you are?

0:00:13.000 --> 0:00:15.960
<v Speaker 2>Uh s, This off season is pretty good for me.

0:00:16.840 --> 0:00:18.880
<v Speaker 2>I say, this is probably like the best shape that I've.

0:00:18.760 --> 0:00:20.720
<v Speaker 3>Been in since I since twenty nineteen year.

0:00:21.239 --> 0:00:23.520
<v Speaker 2>You know, you got that long time of working out,

0:00:23.520 --> 0:00:26.160
<v Speaker 2>a long time of preparation, and like I took them

0:00:26.160 --> 0:00:28.200
<v Speaker 2>forty days away and really got to it and got

0:00:28.200 --> 0:00:29.000
<v Speaker 2>the where I wanted to be.

0:00:30.080 --> 0:00:31.000
<v Speaker 1>Do you feel faster?

0:00:31.360 --> 0:00:33.800
<v Speaker 2>Yes, sir, feel kind of faster, lighter on my feet,

0:00:33.880 --> 0:00:34.960
<v Speaker 2>like easier to change direction.

0:00:35.400 --> 0:00:36.880
<v Speaker 1>What did you do different this season?

0:00:36.920 --> 0:00:40.959
<v Speaker 2>This off season really locked in me and my girl

0:00:41.040 --> 0:00:43.120
<v Speaker 2>took like one trip right when Ota was over.

0:00:43.159 --> 0:00:45.879
<v Speaker 3>Then after that I was kind of locked in in Arizona. Uh.

0:00:46.000 --> 0:00:47.320
<v Speaker 3>I think the heat kind of played a part in

0:00:47.320 --> 0:00:50.239
<v Speaker 3>that too, cause Arizona is hot. So I had a

0:00:50.240 --> 0:00:51.800
<v Speaker 3>great trainer, uh, Nick Hill.

0:00:51.880 --> 0:00:53.519
<v Speaker 2>I mean we was doing a lot of running, a

0:00:53.520 --> 0:00:55.400
<v Speaker 2>lot of cardio, a lot of like kind of stuff

0:00:55.400 --> 0:00:57.840
<v Speaker 2>to kind of trim the fat, a little bit, a

0:00:57.840 --> 0:00:59.400
<v Speaker 2>lot of track working out, and then I got into

0:00:59.400 --> 0:01:03.200
<v Speaker 2>a routine of you know, flexibility, mobility, and then it

0:01:03.240 --> 0:01:04.440
<v Speaker 2>got into a boxing a little bit.

0:01:05.280 --> 0:01:06.039
<v Speaker 1>How many bear.

0:01:10.800 --> 0:01:12.959
<v Speaker 2>So Uh, Kyle kind of funny man. You know, we

0:01:12.959 --> 0:01:14.480
<v Speaker 2>was chopping it up. You know, I told him what

0:01:14.520 --> 0:01:16.920
<v Speaker 2>my goal was coming back, but I had seen him

0:01:16.920 --> 0:01:19.160
<v Speaker 2>a video of the one I had put on Instagram

0:01:19.160 --> 0:01:22.119
<v Speaker 2>and me catching the ball, and you know, he was like, yeah,

0:01:22.200 --> 0:01:23.920
<v Speaker 2>that's what I like to see him and I'm like, yeah, whatever.

0:01:23.959 --> 0:01:25.560
<v Speaker 3>You know, he's kind of joking a little bit.

0:01:27.160 --> 0:01:29.840
<v Speaker 1>What is it about Kyle that makes it so that

0:01:29.880 --> 0:01:32.000
<v Speaker 1>you can respect him so much as a coach but

0:01:32.080 --> 0:01:35.840
<v Speaker 1>still kind of have that friendship joking relationship.

0:01:35.280 --> 0:01:37.560
<v Speaker 2>With I think I kind of go back to, uh,

0:01:38.800 --> 0:01:41.000
<v Speaker 2>when I came out of college. You know, he was

0:01:41.040 --> 0:01:43.560
<v Speaker 2>the coach at the c Bowl and I was playing

0:01:43.600 --> 0:01:45.600
<v Speaker 2>for them, And one thing that kind of stuck with

0:01:45.640 --> 0:01:48.480
<v Speaker 2>me from him and Jum was, you know, if I'm

0:01:48.520 --> 0:01:50.440
<v Speaker 2>on the board when when the time came for the

0:01:50.520 --> 0:01:53.120
<v Speaker 2>nineties to pick in the second round, I was gonna

0:01:53.120 --> 0:01:55.800
<v Speaker 2>be the guy. And so like he was real, he

0:01:55.840 --> 0:01:57.720
<v Speaker 2>was real, big on a man of his word, and

0:01:58.160 --> 0:01:59.440
<v Speaker 2>you know that kind of stuck with me for a

0:01:59.440 --> 0:02:01.400
<v Speaker 2>long time, and you just build a relationship from then

0:02:02.240 --> 0:02:03.360
<v Speaker 2>do bo. Kyle said, one.

0:02:03.240 --> 0:02:04.760
<v Speaker 3>Of the things that he's kind of looking for in

0:02:04.800 --> 0:02:07.559
<v Speaker 3>these first couple of practices is that people aren't too eager.

0:02:07.600 --> 0:02:09.560
<v Speaker 3>You don't go out there too hard even though you're excited.

0:02:09.720 --> 0:02:12.200
<v Speaker 1>How do you restrain yourself because obviously it must feel great.

0:02:12.040 --> 0:02:13.640
<v Speaker 2>To be I mean, you know every day you wanna

0:02:13.639 --> 0:02:15.000
<v Speaker 2>go out there and get better. You know, defense is

0:02:15.040 --> 0:02:16.840
<v Speaker 2>gonna bring the energy. We're gonna bring the energy. We

0:02:16.919 --> 0:02:19.040
<v Speaker 2>out there to like make each other better. So I

0:02:19.080 --> 0:02:21.320
<v Speaker 2>mean we're wanna keep the energy high as long as possible.

0:02:22.040 --> 0:02:23.480
<v Speaker 2>We know it's a stake we know we want to

0:02:23.520 --> 0:02:25.280
<v Speaker 2>do as a team, So we just got to bring

0:02:25.280 --> 0:02:27.720
<v Speaker 2>the energy every day. I mean it's never a day,

0:02:27.760 --> 0:02:29.079
<v Speaker 2>you know what I'm saying, we can get too high.

0:02:29.080 --> 0:02:30.000
<v Speaker 2>It's just like who we are.

0:02:30.760 --> 0:02:33.200
<v Speaker 1>When you look at your guys's receiving or coming into

0:02:33.200 --> 0:02:36.440
<v Speaker 1>this season, how much confidence do you guys have as

0:02:36.480 --> 0:02:38.760
<v Speaker 1>far as how you stack up against you know, other

0:02:38.800 --> 0:02:40.760
<v Speaker 1>teams throughout the league.

0:02:41.360 --> 0:02:43.320
<v Speaker 2>How we look at it, you know, like we're on competitors.

0:02:43.360 --> 0:02:46.160
<v Speaker 2>We're not compete with nobody else but ourselves. We go

0:02:46.240 --> 0:02:49.840
<v Speaker 2>in every day, were hard on ourselves. Coach Coach Hank

0:02:49.919 --> 0:02:51.400
<v Speaker 2>do a great job, you know what I'm saying of

0:02:51.760 --> 0:02:53.560
<v Speaker 2>being a great code, putting us in a position to

0:02:53.760 --> 0:02:54.959
<v Speaker 2>you know, to beat our better.

0:02:54.720 --> 0:02:55.480
<v Speaker 3>Self every day.

0:02:55.800 --> 0:02:58.160
<v Speaker 2>And you know, you know, we got kind of guys

0:02:58.200 --> 0:02:59.880
<v Speaker 2>like Brandon and I you who's taking this game to

0:02:59.919 --> 0:03:02.040
<v Speaker 2>it another level? Juwon Jenny's you know, we getting better

0:03:02.120 --> 0:03:04.160
<v Speaker 2>every day and just as a whole group, like we

0:03:04.360 --> 0:03:06.520
<v Speaker 2>just gonna keep continue to get better. And like I

0:03:06.760 --> 0:03:08.200
<v Speaker 2>not pay attention to the outside. I know it is

0:03:08.240 --> 0:03:09.200
<v Speaker 2>just compete with ourselves.

0:03:09.600 --> 0:03:10.760
<v Speaker 1>But what do you what do you get out of

0:03:10.760 --> 0:03:13.480
<v Speaker 1>the boxing and out of Summersonina's doing that as well.

0:03:13.960 --> 0:03:16.120
<v Speaker 2>It's a uh, it's a good you know what I'm saying,

0:03:16.160 --> 0:03:17.960
<v Speaker 2>Like Bill r and Durance type of thing. You know,

0:03:18.639 --> 0:03:20.760
<v Speaker 2>rounds of three minutes is a pretty long time. So

0:03:21.120 --> 0:03:22.640
<v Speaker 2>we kind of like build here and dinners and kind

0:03:22.639 --> 0:03:23.600
<v Speaker 2>of cut fed a little bit.

0:03:24.280 --> 0:03:25.760
<v Speaker 1>Like hot passes from Broadcat.

0:03:25.880 --> 0:03:28.040
<v Speaker 3>How curious, I guess, are you to see how his

0:03:28.120 --> 0:03:29.919
<v Speaker 3>velocity is now?

0:03:29.919 --> 0:03:31.680
<v Speaker 2>I haven't called past I I think he's been doing

0:03:31.680 --> 0:03:33.280
<v Speaker 2>rehab for a long time, but I'm talking to him

0:03:33.320 --> 0:03:35.000
<v Speaker 2>a good bit. He was like, you know, he ready

0:03:35.040 --> 0:03:36.600
<v Speaker 2>to get back out there with the guys. And of course,

0:03:36.640 --> 0:03:39.000
<v Speaker 2>you know, all the guys ready to see hype and

0:03:39.040 --> 0:03:41.320
<v Speaker 2>progression throughout the time that he's been out.

0:03:41.840 --> 0:03:43.800
<v Speaker 1>Is it kind of a relief to know that he

0:03:43.920 --> 0:03:44.800
<v Speaker 1>was cleared.

0:03:44.480 --> 0:03:45.240
<v Speaker 3>For everything to go.

0:03:45.760 --> 0:03:48.840
<v Speaker 2>I mean, yeah, quarterback competition's gonna be really it's gonna

0:03:48.840 --> 0:03:49.560
<v Speaker 2>be a really good one.

0:03:49.560 --> 0:03:50.880
<v Speaker 3>You know, Trece has well.

0:03:50.920 --> 0:03:53.800
<v Speaker 2>I mean, you aks me, Treys got better since the

0:03:53.880 --> 0:03:56.040
<v Speaker 2>last time I've stow him from him dir due to

0:03:56.120 --> 0:03:58.960
<v Speaker 2>his entry, He's got better. So I mean, I'm I'm

0:03:59.040 --> 0:04:00.480
<v Speaker 2>excited to see how this can We're gonna go.

0:04:01.440 --> 0:04:04.560
<v Speaker 3>How you uh real quick talked about Brendan?

0:04:04.600 --> 0:04:05.280
<v Speaker 1>Are you maturing?

0:04:05.360 --> 0:04:06.200
<v Speaker 3>That's a wife rechiever?

0:04:06.280 --> 0:04:08.400
<v Speaker 1>What have you seen from Brendan? Are you from year

0:04:08.440 --> 0:04:09.040
<v Speaker 1>one to year two?

0:04:09.040 --> 0:04:09.480
<v Speaker 3>The year three?

0:04:09.520 --> 0:04:10.440
<v Speaker 1>Then what you saw this game?

0:04:10.680 --> 0:04:13.360
<v Speaker 2>I mean kind of like it's crazy because I'm with

0:04:13.440 --> 0:04:15.960
<v Speaker 2>him every day. It's like my guy from your one

0:04:16.040 --> 0:04:18.680
<v Speaker 2>and now like his Comfany's levels is like through the roof.

0:04:18.720 --> 0:04:20.440
<v Speaker 2>So I mean he walk in, he walk out every

0:04:20.480 --> 0:04:22.880
<v Speaker 2>day like nobody can guard him. And you walk around

0:04:22.920 --> 0:04:24.600
<v Speaker 2>with that type of attitude. You take that out there

0:04:24.600 --> 0:04:27.120
<v Speaker 2>to the field. I mean it can only translate, you know.

0:04:27.200 --> 0:04:29.720
<v Speaker 2>So he's took his his game to another level and.

0:04:29.640 --> 0:04:32.000
<v Speaker 3>It's it's very exit. And see you said you saw

0:04:33.000 --> 0:04:35.720
<v Speaker 3>how the way the ball is coming out.

0:04:36.320 --> 0:04:37.760
<v Speaker 2>You know, he used to throw the ball kind of

0:04:37.800 --> 0:04:39.800
<v Speaker 2>hard a lot, uh, but he kind of got a

0:04:39.800 --> 0:04:42.360
<v Speaker 2>great touch to his ball. Now he's more comfortable, he's

0:04:42.400 --> 0:04:44.440
<v Speaker 2>more relaxed back there, and he's he's looked a little

0:04:44.440 --> 0:04:46.920
<v Speaker 2>bit more poors to me. Kind of show that one

0:04:46.960 --> 0:04:49.279
<v Speaker 2>throw today where he had to throw it over Fred

0:04:49.320 --> 0:04:53.400
<v Speaker 2>and your racket. Yeah, we talk about that all camp,

0:04:53.520 --> 0:04:55.720
<v Speaker 2>Like Fred is the hardest guy to get a special on.

0:04:55.800 --> 0:04:57.960
<v Speaker 3>So I mean, as I'm running over, I'm already know

0:04:58.040 --> 0:04:58.960
<v Speaker 3>Fred is like over there.

0:04:59.000 --> 0:05:00.600
<v Speaker 2>You know, we kind of talked about it this trade, Like,

0:05:00.880 --> 0:05:02.520
<v Speaker 2>I mean, it ain't too much more you coulda done

0:05:02.880 --> 0:05:04.720
<v Speaker 2>with that ball, cause you know Fred is always gonna

0:05:04.720 --> 0:05:05.920
<v Speaker 2>be the guy to try to stop that route.

0:05:05.960 --> 0:05:06.360
<v Speaker 3>Every day.

0:05:07.360 --> 0:05:08.800
<v Speaker 1>Oh, Danny Gray come into Campton.

0:05:11.880 --> 0:05:13.920
<v Speaker 3>last week. You could tell he's been working a lot.

0:05:14.160 --> 0:05:16.440
<v Speaker 2>Uh. You know, it's still a l a lot of

0:05:16.480 --> 0:05:17.720
<v Speaker 2>things that you know what I'm saying we have to

<v Speaker 2>a as as well of like maturing a little bit,

0:05:22.480 --> 0:05:24.200
<v Speaker 2>But he kind of get down on himself when he

0:05:24.240 --> 0:05:26.040
<v Speaker 2>make mistakes. But in his offense and it's in his

0:05:26.160 --> 0:05:27.920
<v Speaker 2>game that we play, you're gonna make mistakes. It's just

0:05:27.960 --> 0:05:28.880
<v Speaker 2>like how you gonna respond.

0:05:30.160 --> 0:05:33.160
