I think 11 00:00:36,920 --> 00:00:41,879 Speaker 1: they've uh you know, we've We've got a guys from 12 00:00:41,920 --> 00:00:43,879 Speaker 1: you know, people who start to people who come in 13 00:00:43,960 --> 00:00:47,120 Speaker 1: and uh play valuable roles, who help out in key situations. 14 00:00:47,159 --> 00:00:50,080 Speaker 1: I think across the board, you know, on offense, We've 15 00:00:50,120 --> 00:00:53,320 Speaker 1: had so many contributions to throughout this year from so 16 00:00:53,400 --> 00:00:56,200 Speaker 1: many different guys in different ways, and uh people have 17 00:00:56,200 --> 00:00:58,760 Speaker 1: stepped up and and uh done their jobs really well. 18 00:00:58,840 --> 00:01:01,320 Speaker 1: So as a quarter of uh makes your job a 19 00:01:01,360 --> 00:01:04,480 Speaker 1: lot easier felt though, I mean, do they give you 20 00:01:04,680 --> 00:01:07,120 Speaker 1: out of boys or at words of encouragement or anything 21 00:01:07,120 --> 00:01:10,640 Speaker 1: like that, especially some of your older teammates. Uh. Yeah, 22 00:01:10,640 --> 00:01:12,759 Speaker 1: I think we all support each other and we've got 23 00:01:12,800 --> 00:01:16,920 Speaker 1: a great locker room and uh, you know teammates who um, 24 00:01:17,120 --> 00:01:18,840 Speaker 1: you know want to see other people do well. I 25 00:01:18,880 --> 00:01:21,920 Speaker 1: want to see you know, other people succeed. And when 26 00:01:21,920 --> 00:01:24,319 Speaker 1: you have that going on, it it makes it easier 27 00:01:24,319 --> 00:01:27,720 Speaker 1: for everybody. Last told us that the first couple of 28 00:01:27,720 --> 00:01:30,200 Speaker 1: weeks after the ankle injury, he he was kind of 29 00:01:30,240 --> 00:01:32,560 Speaker 1: picking his spots and went to design runs for you. 30 00:01:33,040 --> 00:01:36,520 Speaker 1: Last week it looked it looked like anything like that 31 00:01:36,680 --> 00:01:39,320 Speaker 1: was over. Did you feel like that was the first 32 00:01:39,319 --> 00:01:43,760 Speaker 1: time the ankle was not even a fact at all? Um? Yeah, 33 00:01:43,760 --> 00:01:46,080 Speaker 1: I mean I felt good on Sunday. Um, and I've 34 00:01:46,319 --> 00:01:49,880 Speaker 1: felt better since the injury, so um, But yeah, I mean, 35 00:01:49,920 --> 00:01:51,760 Speaker 1: I think it depends on the game, depends on the 36 00:01:51,800 --> 00:01:55,280 Speaker 1: situation and how the defense is playing and what opportunities 37 00:01:55,320 --> 00:01:57,600 Speaker 1: come out of that. So we took advantage of something 38 00:01:57,600 --> 00:02:00,000 Speaker 1: that we're there on Sunday, and uh, you know, we'll 39 00:02:00,080 --> 00:02:03,040 Speaker 1: do that when they're they're going forth. You've talked about it, 40 00:02:03,200 --> 00:02:05,240 Speaker 1: you know, we've asked you about it a bazillion times. 41 00:02:05,280 --> 00:02:08,600 Speaker 1: But you have four turnovers now in seven games. What 42 00:02:08,680 --> 00:02:12,960 Speaker 1: do you attribute to that this year. Um, well, I 43 00:02:13,000 --> 00:02:14,720 Speaker 1: think as a team, as a group, we've done a 44 00:02:14,720 --> 00:02:18,160 Speaker 1: good job of taking care of the ball. I think, um, 45 00:02:18,200 --> 00:02:21,240 Speaker 1: you know, it's it uh falls you know, falls on 46 00:02:21,280 --> 00:02:23,240 Speaker 1: everyone to protect the ball and do their jobs and 47 00:02:23,840 --> 00:02:26,160 Speaker 1: uh finished plays with it and and we've done a 48 00:02:26,160 --> 00:02:28,880 Speaker 1: good job protecting it. For you. Are you doing anything different, 49 00:02:28,880 --> 00:02:30,760 Speaker 1: like are you holding them all differently or you or 50 00:02:30,840 --> 00:02:34,160 Speaker 1: you did you know, did they stress anything different maybe 51 00:02:34,160 --> 00:02:38,040 Speaker 1: in that regard than you've had in previous years. Um, 52 00:02:38,080 --> 00:02:41,280 Speaker 1: I think it's you know of uh, you know, trying 53 00:02:41,280 --> 00:02:43,120 Speaker 1: to make quicker decisions, trying to get the ball out 54 00:02:43,120 --> 00:02:44,880 Speaker 1: of my hands as as soon as possible. I don't 55 00:02:44,919 --> 00:02:47,919 Speaker 1: think that's any different from things I've done in the past. 56 00:02:47,960 --> 00:02:49,959 Speaker 1: I think, you know, you're you're better at it every 57 00:02:49,960 --> 00:02:52,000 Speaker 1: week and and I'm certainly better at it than I've 58 00:02:52,040 --> 00:02:55,240 Speaker 1: been in the past. So, uh, that's the goal for me, 59 00:02:55,360 --> 00:02:57,519 Speaker 1: is it. Can you continue to be quicker and and 60 00:02:57,760 --> 00:02:59,240 Speaker 1: uh make the right decision and get the ball in 61 00:02:59,280 --> 00:03:01,919 Speaker 1: my hand offense? Make it so that you can be 62 00:03:02,000 --> 00:03:03,799 Speaker 1: quicker with getting the ball out of your hands quicker. 63 00:03:04,600 --> 00:03:07,080 Speaker 1: I think in certain situations that that uh, you know, 64 00:03:07,160 --> 00:03:10,000 Speaker 1: we do that intentionally and and uh get the ball 65 00:03:10,040 --> 00:03:12,040 Speaker 1: in space, get to get the ball in our playmakers 66 00:03:12,080 --> 00:03:15,640 Speaker 1: and um, yeah, I think gets uh you know we 67 00:03:15,680 --> 00:03:18,320 Speaker 1: have that schemed up and and uh try to make 68 00:03:18,360 --> 00:03:22,160 Speaker 1: up make a point to do that. Think back and 69 00:03:22,200 --> 00:03:25,359 Speaker 1: then all that the other way you fake OUTV cameraman. 70 00:03:26,960 --> 00:03:30,040 Speaker 1: What is it about your Tell me about how you 71 00:03:30,080 --> 00:03:32,679 Speaker 1: work on that, What it is that makes you good 72 00:03:32,720 --> 00:03:35,240 Speaker 1: at that? What do you what makes a good fake 73 00:03:35,280 --> 00:03:38,440 Speaker 1: to you? Um, I think you's just practice. I mean 74 00:03:38,440 --> 00:03:41,280 Speaker 1: it takes uh you know, say Kwan does a great 75 00:03:41,320 --> 00:03:43,120 Speaker 1: job with it. Also that something we work on a 76 00:03:43,120 --> 00:03:45,200 Speaker 1: lot is is trying to make it look exactly like 77 00:03:45,640 --> 00:03:49,480 Speaker 1: the run. Um. And then when you do that, you 78 00:03:49,520 --> 00:03:53,240 Speaker 1: know you have the opportunity. Uh you know, the more 79 00:03:53,240 --> 00:03:54,840 Speaker 1: you practice it and the more you get good at it, 80 00:03:54,880 --> 00:03:57,680 Speaker 1: and uh you know you look at it on film 81 00:03:57,760 --> 00:04:00,600 Speaker 1: from different angles and see how similar they both are, 82 00:04:00,640 --> 00:04:03,040 Speaker 1: and then uh, you know, try to clean it up 83 00:04:03,040 --> 00:04:05,400 Speaker 1: and make it look as close as possible, uh to 84 00:04:05,440 --> 00:04:08,119 Speaker 1: the same thing. Does that come from when you are 85 00:04:08,160 --> 00:04:11,120 Speaker 1: in practice? I mean even going back to O. T. A. S. 86 00:04:11,200 --> 00:04:13,600 Speaker 1: You'd see, we'd see you carry out your fake, and 87 00:04:13,840 --> 00:04:16,359 Speaker 1: you know you're doing it almost It's really just you 88 00:04:16,480 --> 00:04:19,200 Speaker 1: in the back. Does it go away, go go all 89 00:04:19,200 --> 00:04:21,080 Speaker 1: the way back to that In terms of watching that 90 00:04:21,160 --> 00:04:24,279 Speaker 1: film back then and seeing what it looks like tweaking 91 00:04:24,320 --> 00:04:26,680 Speaker 1: things for yourself, I think so yeah. I think you 92 00:04:26,720 --> 00:04:29,080 Speaker 1: want to, you know, always practice that is carrying out 93 00:04:29,120 --> 00:04:31,120 Speaker 1: your fakes and you never know when you're gonna pull 94 00:04:31,160 --> 00:04:33,280 Speaker 1: someone out. You're gonna you know, when you're handing off 95 00:04:33,320 --> 00:04:35,520 Speaker 1: and you're gonna pull someone out of there that uh, 96 00:04:35,600 --> 00:04:37,719 Speaker 1: you know, sake one doesn't need much space to break one. 97 00:04:37,760 --> 00:04:39,839 Speaker 1: So I think that's something that I try to practice 98 00:04:39,880 --> 00:04:43,880 Speaker 1: and and stay disciplined on uh whenever you know, whenever 99 00:04:43,880 --> 00:04:45,200 Speaker 1: you get the chance, and then the you know, the 100 00:04:45,240 --> 00:04:47,280 Speaker 1: fakes off of that get better because they're used to 101 00:04:47,320 --> 00:04:54,960 Speaker 1: seeing you, uh boot out. Why do you've won this 102 00:04:55,080 --> 00:04:58,880 Speaker 1: award under three different coaches in three different offenses. Why 103 00:04:58,920 --> 00:05:01,200 Speaker 1: do you think you're that to play at your highest 104 00:05:01,279 --> 00:05:08,599 Speaker 1: level system? Um, I don't know. I think, uh, you know, 105 00:05:08,680 --> 00:05:11,120 Speaker 1: you try to improve every week. I think each week 106 00:05:11,200 --> 00:05:14,600 Speaker 1: is different. Um, you know, I think I'm a better 107 00:05:14,640 --> 00:05:16,359 Speaker 1: player than I was last year. I'm a better you know, 108 00:05:16,360 --> 00:05:17,880 Speaker 1: I was a better player than in the year before, 109 00:05:17,920 --> 00:05:20,840 Speaker 1: and just try to continue to improve. But UM, I 110 00:05:20,920 --> 00:05:25,080 Speaker 1: think one week is is great, certainly appreciative to uh 111 00:05:25,279 --> 00:05:27,640 Speaker 1: be recognized, but um at the end of the day, 112 00:05:27,640 --> 00:05:29,760 Speaker 1: it's one week and and it's about what you do 113 00:05:29,880 --> 00:05:31,400 Speaker 1: consistently over the course of the season.
