Speaker 1: week's Guess. I'm excited about it. I don't know him

5
00:00:24,720 --> 00:00:26,960
Speaker 1: at all because of COVID, we haven't really had any

6
00:00:26,960 --> 00:00:30,520
Speaker 1: face to face meetings. UH, players and the media and

7
00:00:30,840 --> 00:00:34,519
Speaker 1: myself don't interact that much. But I think Jaguar stands

8
00:00:35,040 --> 00:00:37,519
Speaker 1: have an idea who this guy is because most of

9
00:00:37,560 --> 00:00:41,280
Speaker 1: the NFL knows who this guy is. Tavon Austin, thank

10
00:00:41,320 --> 00:00:44,280
Speaker 1: you for joining the Ozone podcast. I appreciate you very much. Yeah,

11
00:00:44,320 --> 00:00:47,880
Speaker 1: thank you for having me John and I. I guess

12
00:00:47,920 --> 00:00:50,440
Speaker 1: the first thing I would ask Tavon and looking at

13
00:00:50,479 --> 00:00:53,680
Speaker 1: your career a lot of teams so far, this is

14
00:00:53,680 --> 00:00:56,720
Speaker 1: your fourth NFL team. You've been in this a while.

15
00:00:57,320 --> 00:00:59,160
Speaker 1: Do you feel like a veteran now? Are you a

16
00:00:59,200 --> 00:01:00,880
Speaker 1: guy who looks around a league and sort of knows

17
00:01:00,920 --> 00:01:03,960
Speaker 1: what's going on? Yeah? I kind of, loo can say.

18
00:01:03,960 --> 00:01:05,880
Speaker 1: I definitely felt like a veteran quite a couple of

19
00:01:05,920 --> 00:01:08,360
Speaker 1: years ago. Um, so I kind of just have an

20
00:01:08,400 --> 00:01:11,520
Speaker 1: idea of of of what goes on. And what kind

21
00:01:11,520 --> 00:01:14,000
Speaker 1: of going on? So I think I gotta go grasp

22
00:01:14,080 --> 00:01:17,479
Speaker 1: for a lot of things. Now explain to people. I'm

23
00:01:17,480 --> 00:01:22,280
Speaker 1: always fascinated when I talked to veterans, Um, how quickly

24
00:01:22,400 --> 00:01:25,560
Speaker 1: this goes? I think fans look at it and they

25
00:01:25,600 --> 00:01:28,600
Speaker 1: see a lot of different players, and they see guys

26
00:01:28,640 --> 00:01:31,959
Speaker 1: and they don't really grasp. For you, guys, this this

27
00:01:32,120 --> 00:01:37,120
Speaker 1: career goes quick. Um, how quickly does it feel? You know,

28
00:01:37,160 --> 00:01:40,319
Speaker 1: your first round pick? How quickly has it gone for you?

29
00:01:40,360 --> 00:01:43,640
Speaker 1: But I'm getting at I mean fast, I mean very quick.

30
00:01:43,680 --> 00:01:45,000
Speaker 1: Can you think that if you look at it? You know,

31
00:01:45,040 --> 00:01:48,080
Speaker 1: I did two more years of college plus another what

32
00:01:48,080 --> 00:01:49,960
Speaker 1: I mean, So I look at things like that. I

33
00:01:49,960 --> 00:01:51,840
Speaker 1: look at my little brother, look at my little cousin,

34
00:01:51,880 --> 00:01:55,160
Speaker 1: and I'm just in college and it's like I've been

35
00:01:55,200 --> 00:01:57,200
Speaker 1: there about eight nine years ago, you know what I mean.

36
00:01:57,280 --> 00:01:59,720
Speaker 1: So I mean so, but but it but it definitely

37
00:01:59,760 --> 00:02:01,560
Speaker 1: do go quick. You look up and then you look

38
00:02:01,600 --> 00:02:03,440
Speaker 1: up and you and five year five, you look up,

39
00:02:03,520 --> 00:02:05,200
Speaker 1: you and yet seven and then you and you're nine.

40
00:02:05,560 --> 00:02:07,080
Speaker 1: You know what I mean. But the most important thing

41
00:02:07,120 --> 00:02:08,960
Speaker 1: and you just still blessed that you still can get

42
00:02:08,960 --> 00:02:11,200
Speaker 1: out head with these guys and and then you just

43
00:02:11,240 --> 00:02:13,160
Speaker 1: still compete at a high level. So that's the man.

44
00:02:13,240 --> 00:02:14,880
Speaker 1: The good thing I like about this whole thing. You

45
00:02:14,960 --> 00:02:18,120
Speaker 1: come to the Jaguars, you're a veteran and and you've

46
00:02:18,160 --> 00:02:22,600
Speaker 1: obviously seen a lot of things. Uh what's your mentality

47
00:02:22,720 --> 00:02:24,440
Speaker 1: coming in here this summer? We didn't get a chance

48
00:02:24,480 --> 00:02:27,720
Speaker 1: to talk to you a whole lot, but you've been around,

49
00:02:27,760 --> 00:02:31,040
Speaker 1: You're coming to a new team. How do you approach

50
00:02:31,120 --> 00:02:32,679
Speaker 1: that as a guy who's been in the league for

51
00:02:32,720 --> 00:02:35,519
Speaker 1: a while. Uh? You know, for me, you know, like

52
00:02:35,639 --> 00:02:37,280
Speaker 1: you said, I kind of been bouncing around for a

53
00:02:37,280 --> 00:02:40,120
Speaker 1: little bit. I mean just because of injuries. So for me,

54
00:02:40,160 --> 00:02:42,120
Speaker 1: I got here eight days late. They was already in

55
00:02:42,160 --> 00:02:45,200
Speaker 1: training camp. My thing was just to get here and

56
00:02:45,240 --> 00:02:46,880
Speaker 1: to show out the best way I can't, you know

57
00:02:46,880 --> 00:02:48,679
Speaker 1: what I mean, any any any chance that I got

58
00:02:48,720 --> 00:02:50,840
Speaker 1: when I was practicing. I wanted to take advantage of

59
00:02:50,840 --> 00:02:53,240
Speaker 1: it to show them a type of guy m and

60
00:02:53,280 --> 00:02:56,000
Speaker 1: show them like throughout my previous years, I've been injured,

61
00:02:56,000 --> 00:02:57,880
Speaker 1: but I'm still the same guy, you know what I mean.

62
00:02:57,880 --> 00:02:59,520
Speaker 1: But that was the most important thing that I wanted

63
00:02:59,560 --> 00:03:01,280
Speaker 1: to get here so they can just see me in

64
00:03:01,320 --> 00:03:03,560
Speaker 1: the flesh. I wanted them to honor me as Tavon

65
00:03:03,639 --> 00:03:06,239
Speaker 1: and not what my previous years and my injuries and

66
00:03:06,520 --> 00:03:10,120
Speaker 1: all those things that hurt me. And that becomes something

67
00:03:10,200 --> 00:03:13,560
Speaker 1: that I think fans don't really grasp either. You know,

68
00:03:13,560 --> 00:03:15,200
Speaker 1: you come in as a first round pick, they know

69
00:03:15,240 --> 00:03:17,240
Speaker 1: who you are and they've scouted you. But when you

70
00:03:17,240 --> 00:03:20,640
Speaker 1: start going to different teams, it really is proving yourself

71
00:03:20,639 --> 00:03:23,160
Speaker 1: all over again. That first round thing doesn't matter anymore,

72
00:03:23,840 --> 00:03:26,840
Speaker 1: so you're back to really trying to prove to these

73
00:03:26,880 --> 00:03:29,320
Speaker 1: guys who you are. And that's a different mindset and

74
00:03:29,440 --> 00:03:33,040
Speaker 1: it no, it's it's a totally different mindset. You know,

75
00:03:33,120 --> 00:03:35,240
Speaker 1: you kind of tap in and you you see the

76
00:03:35,280 --> 00:03:38,280
Speaker 1: type of treatment that you know guys get and you

77
00:03:38,440 --> 00:03:41,520
Speaker 1: liked that was me I wantoint a time, and now

78
00:03:41,640 --> 00:03:44,440
Speaker 1: you go back and it's like, you ain't that guy,

79
00:03:44,600 --> 00:03:46,800
Speaker 1: you know what I mean. So it's not a reality check,

80
00:03:47,200 --> 00:03:48,880
Speaker 1: but at the same time, the type of guy that

81
00:03:49,040 --> 00:03:51,120
Speaker 1: I know what I could do and I know and

82
00:03:51,160 --> 00:03:53,880
Speaker 1: when if I get to my full potential and I'm healthy,

83
00:03:54,320 --> 00:03:56,080
Speaker 1: I'm still the same to you as and from back

84
00:03:56,080 --> 00:03:57,320
Speaker 1: in the day, you know what I mean. And that

85
00:03:57,680 --> 00:03:59,320
Speaker 1: was my main thing that I want to get here

86
00:03:59,560 --> 00:04:01,280
Speaker 1: and just show you know what I mean, I got

87
00:04:01,320 --> 00:04:03,680
Speaker 1: here and not kind of shoulder. So I'm just just

88
00:04:03,680 --> 00:04:07,160
Speaker 1: just waiting to see what's gonna happen next. No, it's

89
00:04:07,200 --> 00:04:08,960
Speaker 1: fascinating to you that I started looking at your stats

90
00:04:08,960 --> 00:04:10,960
Speaker 1: today and I followed your career a little bit. But

91
00:04:11,120 --> 00:04:14,160
Speaker 1: you know, when you're covering different teams, you don't really

92
00:04:14,200 --> 00:04:18,200
Speaker 1: dip that far into a guy. Um, you were one

93
00:04:18,200 --> 00:04:21,000
Speaker 1: of the first sort of weapon guys. It's become a

94
00:04:21,080 --> 00:04:23,560
Speaker 1: thing now where wide receivers can run, they can do

95
00:04:23,600 --> 00:04:26,840
Speaker 1: them a lot of different things, but you're one of

96
00:04:26,920 --> 00:04:30,359
Speaker 1: those first guys, I guess the first guys to do that.

97
00:04:30,400 --> 00:04:33,839
Speaker 1: Do you see it that way? Uh? Yeah, yeah, yeah, No,

98
00:04:34,160 --> 00:04:35,640
Speaker 1: I mean for both things. Is it out of thing

99
00:04:35,720 --> 00:04:37,560
Speaker 1: like football have been around for a long time. But

100
00:04:38,000 --> 00:04:40,880
Speaker 1: the smaller receivers you still gotta you still gotta get

101
00:04:40,880 --> 00:04:42,600
Speaker 1: their heads up to the guys that's in front of

102
00:04:42,640 --> 00:04:45,160
Speaker 1: me that I look up to. The Santana mawstuff does

103
00:04:45,160 --> 00:04:47,839
Speaker 1: Steve Smith's you know, all over the highs warts and

104
00:04:47,920 --> 00:04:49,960
Speaker 1: they type of guys that I bught my game behind.

105
00:04:50,440 --> 00:04:53,640
Speaker 1: They not all quite not like me. I mean I

106
00:04:53,640 --> 00:04:55,520
Speaker 1: probably got a little bit more twitched in those guys,

107
00:04:55,560 --> 00:04:56,919
Speaker 1: but at the end of the day, they was the

108
00:04:56,960 --> 00:04:59,359
Speaker 1: smaller guys doing in the league for the longest time, so,

109
00:04:59,440 --> 00:05:02,200
Speaker 1: I mean even before they all limp. So, but I

110
00:05:02,240 --> 00:05:04,159
Speaker 1: think I kind of helped elevate it a little bit,

111
00:05:04,400 --> 00:05:06,240
Speaker 1: just my type of skill set and getting guys in

112
00:05:06,279 --> 00:05:08,640
Speaker 1: the league this small and playing more and more and

113
00:05:08,680 --> 00:05:13,359
Speaker 1: more at one NFL team. Yes, Now you mentioned you

114
00:05:13,360 --> 00:05:16,080
Speaker 1: have a little more twitch than those guys and your

115
00:05:16,160 --> 00:05:21,039
Speaker 1: prime did anybody have any more twitch than you? Yeah?

116
00:05:21,160 --> 00:05:23,919
Speaker 1: I always say this. I just believe. I just believe

117
00:05:23,960 --> 00:05:26,800
Speaker 1: this about this is my going, no cocky and nothing.

118
00:05:26,839 --> 00:05:29,120
Speaker 1: I just really believe. I still believe. I think I'm

119
00:05:29,160 --> 00:05:31,440
Speaker 1: one of the top dogs. When the ball is in

120
00:05:31,480 --> 00:05:33,560
Speaker 1: my hands, I'm still one of the top dogs. If

121
00:05:33,560 --> 00:05:37,080
Speaker 1: like this some space, and do you feel like you're

122
00:05:37,080 --> 00:05:39,520
Speaker 1: ahead of your time? I mean, I can imagine if

123
00:05:39,520 --> 00:05:42,200
Speaker 1: you came out now in the draft, you would probably

124
00:05:42,200 --> 00:05:46,039
Speaker 1: be seen a lot differently the way offenses that have

125
00:05:46,200 --> 00:05:50,200
Speaker 1: evolved so much and guys are being used in so

126
00:05:50,240 --> 00:05:54,479
Speaker 1: many different ways. Do you everything you know? I guess

127
00:05:54,520 --> 00:05:56,719
Speaker 1: do you agree with that? And do you ever think

128
00:05:57,440 --> 00:06:00,240
Speaker 1: I'd be seen a little differently coming out now? Yeah? Um,

129
00:06:00,240 --> 00:06:02,520
Speaker 1: because guys are willing to use guys differently. I guess

130
00:06:02,600 --> 00:06:04,960
Speaker 1: what I'm saying, you know what, and just being honest,

131
00:06:05,000 --> 00:06:08,320
Speaker 1: it's all about whoever that guy is creating a play

132
00:06:08,360 --> 00:06:13,400
Speaker 1: for you. And you can be a just world class athlete,

133
00:06:13,440 --> 00:06:16,440
Speaker 1: but when sometimes a route with certain stuff don't fit you,

134
00:06:16,480 --> 00:06:18,720
Speaker 1: then it don't fit you. So it's all about you

135
00:06:18,800 --> 00:06:21,440
Speaker 1: just getting kind of in the right situation and people

136
00:06:21,480 --> 00:06:25,560
Speaker 1: believing in you and giving you those chances, the opport opportunity,

137
00:06:25,920 --> 00:06:28,200
Speaker 1: after after, after two you getting comfortable with it. I

138
00:06:28,200 --> 00:06:29,919
Speaker 1: think that's more the main thing. When you get to

139
00:06:29,960 --> 00:06:32,760
Speaker 1: these offenses and you've got to understand what's going on

140
00:06:32,800 --> 00:06:34,839
Speaker 1: and what they got from store for you. And once

141
00:06:34,920 --> 00:06:38,000
Speaker 1: that's understood, I feel like everything can be relaxed and

142
00:06:38,040 --> 00:06:40,640
Speaker 1: you get confident in your position and you will be good.

143
00:06:41,920 --> 00:06:44,920
Speaker 1: I'm fascinated by the event in Indianapolis this year when

144
00:06:45,240 --> 00:06:48,520
Speaker 1: Haines came over to you and was like, yeah, I

145
00:06:48,600 --> 00:06:51,279
Speaker 1: used to watch you and you're my guy. Does that

146
00:06:51,360 --> 00:06:54,720
Speaker 1: happen often and what does that mean when that happens

147
00:06:54,880 --> 00:06:57,080
Speaker 1: that's not that usual for a player? Yeah, I mean

148
00:06:57,279 --> 00:07:00,080
Speaker 1: I respect that, you know, I respect Haynes not they

149
00:07:00,080 --> 00:07:01,640
Speaker 1: don't get a chance to call him, I'm going to

150
00:07:02,040 --> 00:07:04,440
Speaker 1: told him to see my number. He did, I'm gonna

151
00:07:04,480 --> 00:07:06,160
Speaker 1: reach out to him. Well, I probably when I see

152
00:07:06,240 --> 00:07:08,200
Speaker 1: him here again when they come here. Definitely hog at

153
00:07:08,240 --> 00:07:10,160
Speaker 1: him trying to get out there in pre game. But no,

154
00:07:10,280 --> 00:07:12,120
Speaker 1: I definitely feel good, you know what I mean. For me,

155
00:07:12,160 --> 00:07:13,640
Speaker 1: they still just wake me up. And you know I'm

156
00:07:13,640 --> 00:07:15,800

00:07:22,280 --> 00:07:24,120
Speaker 1: I appreciate him because it takes a lot for a

161
00:07:24,160 --> 00:07:27,160
Speaker 1: man to praise another man on TV like that. You know,

162
00:07:27,200 --> 00:07:30,040
Speaker 1: a lot of us have those those problems, and we

163
00:07:30,080 --> 00:07:32,360
Speaker 1: got pride, and you don't want to go the next

164
00:07:32,440 --> 00:07:34,680
Speaker 1: man to tell them, like, hey, you're a good player, hole,

165
00:07:34,760 --> 00:07:36,800
Speaker 1: you're my role model. I mean one thing I respect

166
00:07:36,840 --> 00:07:39,520
Speaker 1: about my team and here Jaguars, a lot of these

167
00:07:39,520 --> 00:07:41,120
Speaker 1: guys come up to me and tell me, like Brian

168
00:07:41,320 --> 00:07:43,440
Speaker 1: on a lie take, but he was one of my

169
00:07:43,440 --> 00:07:45,640
Speaker 1: best players watching like you know what I mean. It

170
00:07:45,720 --> 00:07:47,440
Speaker 1: kind of was later in the season they kind of

171
00:07:47,560 --> 00:07:49,560
Speaker 1: we know each other more though, But it's just the

172
00:07:49,600 --> 00:07:51,360
Speaker 1: point that people, so, you know, you get some guys

173
00:07:51,360 --> 00:07:53,920
Speaker 1: that really just still just pay harmons when when when?

174
00:07:53,960 --> 00:07:56,840
Speaker 1: When it's when when they're supposed to be paid. How

175
00:07:56,840 --> 00:07:58,560
Speaker 1: many of those guys tell you they used to use

00:07:58,600 --> 00:08:00,600
Speaker 1: you and Madden? No, No, I end up and talking

Speaker 1: wouldn't have to? What keeps you going? What keeps you

182
00:08:21,920 --> 00:08:24,560

183
00:08:24,560 --> 00:08:28,160
Speaker 1: to show people I'm still Tavon awesome. Oh you know,

184
00:08:28,280 --> 00:08:30,520
Speaker 1: for me, this is it's several things. For me, I

185
00:08:30,560 --> 00:08:32,560
Speaker 1: got so many things where I think I still push

186
00:08:32,640 --> 00:08:37,559
Speaker 1: for number one. I still love the game. Um two Uh.

187
00:08:37,760 --> 00:08:39,720
Speaker 1: I had a daughter. I had a daughter a year ago.

188
00:08:40,400 --> 00:08:42,240
Speaker 1: I wanted to take a picture with my daughter at

189
00:08:42,240 --> 00:08:44,800
Speaker 1: my game, well, me and my girl, me and my

190
00:08:44,840 --> 00:08:46,760
Speaker 1: girl win my daughter. I wanted to take a family picture.

191
00:08:46,840 --> 00:08:49,600
Speaker 1: I got that my mother was my mother had canceled

192
00:08:50,200 --> 00:08:51,520
Speaker 1: so she couldn't come to none of the game but

193
00:08:51,559 --> 00:08:54,000
Speaker 1: that year because of COVID and all that stuff, you

194
00:08:54,000 --> 00:08:55,360
Speaker 1: know what I mean. So I wanted to place so

195
00:08:55,480 --> 00:08:57,199
Speaker 1: all of them can come to my games again, to

196
00:08:57,280 --> 00:08:59,360
Speaker 1: my last years or whatever. Why how many years I

197
00:08:59,360 --> 00:09:01,280
Speaker 1: decided to play after this or if I just started

198
00:09:01,280 --> 00:09:03,160
Speaker 1: to pack it up after this? So that was my

199
00:09:03,240 --> 00:09:06,200
Speaker 1: main goal why I wanted to play. I got you

200
00:09:06,480 --> 00:09:10,200
Speaker 1: tell me about it. It's really unrelated to what we

201
00:09:10,200 --> 00:09:13,800
Speaker 1: were talking about that he's such a fascinating player to people.

202
00:09:14,760 --> 00:09:16,720
Speaker 1: Spent last season with Green Bass. You got to know

203
00:09:16,760 --> 00:09:20,200
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers a little bit. What's it like playing with

204
00:09:20,240 --> 00:09:23,360
Speaker 1: the guy? What's his personality? Is it? What you see

205
00:09:23,400 --> 00:09:27,360
Speaker 1: is what you get? Yeah? Yeah, that's him. Uh, just

206
00:09:27,480 --> 00:09:30,800
Speaker 1: straightforward guy. I gotta love and compete a lot. I

207
00:09:30,800 --> 00:09:33,959
Speaker 1: gotta don't take nothing from nobody. I got that. You

208
00:09:34,040 --> 00:09:38,440
Speaker 1: gotta come in every prepared or you won't play. That's

209
00:09:38,480 --> 00:09:40,240
Speaker 1: just has That's just what he is. He comes to

210
00:09:40,280 --> 00:09:41,800
Speaker 1: me when he comes to work. He's coming to work,

211
00:09:42,120 --> 00:09:43,960
Speaker 1: you know what I mean. And and and when I

212
00:09:44,040 --> 00:09:46,160
Speaker 1: was over there, I've seen that from a veteran quarterback

213
00:09:46,480 --> 00:09:48,240
Speaker 1: to a Hall of famer, know what I mean, Like

214
00:09:48,360 --> 00:09:50,600
Speaker 1: I've seen him and actually seeing how he take control

215
00:09:50,640 --> 00:09:52,760
Speaker 1: of his team. I seen how he take control of

216
00:09:52,760 --> 00:09:54,840
Speaker 1: his huddle. I seen how he take control of the

217
00:09:54,880 --> 00:09:57,160
Speaker 1: whole offense, you know what I mean. So I've seen

218
00:09:57,160 --> 00:09:59,520
Speaker 1: a different type of man right there, and what he

219
00:10:00,000 --> 00:10:02,680
Speaker 1: he showed me and display what a quarterback and what

220
00:10:02,760 --> 00:10:05,719
Speaker 1: an organization like that stuff, how how it ran through

221
00:10:05,720 --> 00:10:08,240
Speaker 1: the quarterback. So it was it definitely was a good

222
00:10:08,440 --> 00:10:11,079
Speaker 1: type of visual to see every day. To be there

223
00:10:11,080 --> 00:10:14,199
Speaker 1: for them a couple of weeks I was there. It's

224
00:10:14,200 --> 00:10:15,880
Speaker 1: easy to see why he is who he is. I

225
00:10:15,880 --> 00:10:20,160
Speaker 1: guess he makes everybody. He makes everybody around just you

226
00:10:20,240 --> 00:10:22,160
Speaker 1: just gotta know what you're doing. You gotta be ready

227
00:10:22,360 --> 00:10:26,200
Speaker 1: to elevate, because he's ready to elevate. You've been around enough.

228
00:10:26,240 --> 00:10:29,200
Speaker 1: And I'm not obviously not comparing the two. They're dramatically

229
00:10:29,200 --> 00:10:32,120
Speaker 1: different stages, but your impression so far at Trevor in

230
00:10:32,240 --> 00:10:34,560
Speaker 1: terms of what you've seen a lot of guys, Yeah,

231
00:10:34,640 --> 00:10:37,079
Speaker 1: I love Trevor. I know a lot of people all

232
00:10:37,120 --> 00:10:39,160
Speaker 1: hard on him right now, and you know, and nobody

233
00:10:39,160 --> 00:10:41,000
Speaker 1: over here not really having a good year. Now we're

234
00:10:41,000 --> 00:10:44,480
Speaker 1: figuring things out. But like I always tell Trevor, now,

235
00:10:44,640 --> 00:10:46,360
Speaker 1: I tell Trevor, this is and I come talk to him,

236
00:10:46,400 --> 00:10:48,520
Speaker 1: even off the field stuff, and I tell him, like, Bro,

237
00:10:48,600 --> 00:10:50,440
Speaker 1: I was the first round of just like you. You

238
00:10:50,440 --> 00:10:51,920
Speaker 1: know what I mean. I would I wanted the first pick,

239
00:10:51,960 --> 00:10:54,800
Speaker 1: but I was the first scale position. This ain't gonna

240
00:10:54,800 --> 00:10:56,920
Speaker 1: be the worst stage you have, you know what I mean.

241
00:10:56,920 --> 00:10:59,360
Speaker 1: It's definitely gonna be better days. But it's not the

242
00:10:59,360 --> 00:11:01,200
Speaker 1: worst day. You're gonn a head, bro. You just gotta

249
00:11:16,120 --> 00:11:18,120
Speaker 1: beginning years. In the beginning, not what I mean, but

250
