29
00:01:29,720 --> 00:01:35,119

30
00:01:35,240 --> 00:01:37,840
Speaker 1: You know that that's my guy. UM, So we actually,

Speaker 1: you know, we had conversations, we talked, and UM, you

32
00:01:40,680 --> 00:01:43,319
Speaker 1: know it sucked. Um. You know, I've actually seen a

33
00:01:43,360 --> 00:01:46,360
Speaker 1: lot of different things throughout my two years. I feel

34
00:01:46,400 --> 00:01:49,320
Speaker 1: like I was actually talking to jb Um like a

35
00:01:49,400 --> 00:01:52,040
Speaker 1: day ago, and I told him these two years felt

36
00:01:52,080 --> 00:01:54,320
Speaker 1: like I've been in the league for for six years,

37
00:01:54,760 --> 00:01:57,160
Speaker 1: just because with all the COVID stuff and you know,

38
00:01:57,240 --> 00:01:59,760
Speaker 1: just the staff moving, like movements and and just things

39
00:02:00,040 --> 00:02:04,000
Speaker 1: around in organization. So um, but like I said, I

40
00:02:04,040 --> 00:02:05,960
Speaker 1: talked with him, and you know, that's my guy, and

41
00:02:06,080 --> 00:02:08,480
Speaker 1: you know we're we're brothers. So um, but I was

42
00:02:08,480 --> 00:02:10,680
Speaker 1: happy for him, you know what, and whatever you know

43
00:02:10,720 --> 00:02:12,799
Speaker 1: that he was gonna do and what he's had the

44
00:02:12,840 --> 00:02:15,640
Speaker 1: bucks now so UM, that's I keep it. Keep it

45
00:02:15,680 --> 00:02:18,560
Speaker 1: as that does it prop more on your shoulders to

46
00:02:18,680 --> 00:02:20,840
Speaker 1: step into that, and he's obviously a big leader on

47
00:02:20,960 --> 00:02:24,040
Speaker 1: your playing to step into that boyd Um. Yeah, I

48
00:02:24,080 --> 00:02:26,000
Speaker 1: mean I'm just like I said, my my goal has

49
00:02:26,040 --> 00:02:29,079
Speaker 1: always been the same from from day one. UM, I've

50
00:02:29,120 --> 00:02:32,040
Speaker 1: always wanted to be and was gonna be a leader.

51
00:02:32,280 --> 00:02:35,160
Speaker 1: Um that has not changed no matter you know who's here,

52
00:02:35,200 --> 00:02:37,880
Speaker 1: who's not here. Um. So that's that's how I see it,

53
00:02:37,919 --> 00:02:47,320
Speaker 1: and that's how I go with it. Bryan don lady, Hey, Xavier,

54
00:02:47,400 --> 00:02:51,280
Speaker 1: you mentioned uh Brad Berry. I'm curious. Obviously there's a

55
00:02:51,280 --> 00:02:53,560
Speaker 1: lot going on with him. How much do you guys

56
00:02:53,639 --> 00:02:56,400
Speaker 1: need him here as you know, a top corner in

57
00:02:56,400 --> 00:02:58,320
Speaker 1: this league? How much do you guys want him to

58
00:02:58,360 --> 00:03:01,440
Speaker 1: be here? And you already long slogan, I can't imagine

59
00:03:01,680 --> 00:03:04,080
Speaker 1: how you guys feel about losing another top player in

60
00:03:04,120 --> 00:03:06,880
Speaker 1: your secondary. Yeah. Like I said, man that those are

61
00:03:06,919 --> 00:03:09,440
Speaker 1: those are my guys. So you know, obviously that's not

62
00:03:09,600 --> 00:03:12,240
Speaker 1: any of any of my control. Um. You know, we

63
00:03:12,280 --> 00:03:15,040
Speaker 1: control what we can control. UM, and I do the

64
00:03:15,120 --> 00:03:17,800
Speaker 1: same as well. So UM, but like I said, I

65
00:03:17,880 --> 00:03:20,640
Speaker 1: keep we we talk all the time. And you know,

66
00:03:20,720 --> 00:03:23,560
Speaker 1: we're really close. Obviously, those guys have have taught me

67
00:03:23,600 --> 00:03:25,959
Speaker 1: a lot, and uh I told I actually told JB.

68
00:03:26,080 --> 00:03:28,000
Speaker 1: I told him I was going to continue to uh

69
00:03:28,080 --> 00:03:29,800
Speaker 1: just talk with him and try to get some knowledge

70
00:03:29,800 --> 00:03:32,079
Speaker 1: from him, just because he's been the league for so

71
00:03:32,120 --> 00:03:34,560
Speaker 1: long or longer than I have. UM just on on

72
00:03:35,080 --> 00:03:37,800
Speaker 1: you know, playing wise and just in general and life.

73
00:03:38,040 --> 00:03:41,280
Speaker 1: Um so you know, whatever, whatever happens, happens. But that's

74
00:03:41,320 --> 00:03:44,960
Speaker 1: nothing in my control. So um, that's just that's what

75
00:03:45,080 --> 00:03:49,800
Speaker 1: it is. I feel like I ask you this every April. Uh,

76
00:03:50,000 --> 00:03:53,920
Speaker 1: I guess that's the blessing of going to Alabama. Any

77
00:03:53,960 --> 00:03:56,800
Speaker 1: of these guys that you're really close with in this draft,

78
00:03:56,840 --> 00:03:59,160
Speaker 1: Like I know you're a couple of years older, but

79
00:03:59,280 --> 00:04:02,520
Speaker 1: MATCHI or if you had any interaction with a young

80
00:04:02,600 --> 00:04:05,240
Speaker 1: Evan Neil, any any of these guys you're close with

81
00:04:05,280 --> 00:04:08,160
Speaker 1: and can tell us anything about. Yeah, they I'm I'm

82
00:04:08,160 --> 00:04:11,560
Speaker 1: pretty close with Mitch Um and I obviously got to

83
00:04:11,560 --> 00:04:15,800
Speaker 1: play a little bit with with some of those guys there. Um,

84
00:04:15,840 --> 00:04:19,040
Speaker 1: so I haven't talked to him to I haven't talked

85
00:04:19,040 --> 00:04:21,800
Speaker 1: to them in a while, but I'm pretty close with him.

86
00:04:21,839 --> 00:04:24,400
Speaker 1: I don't know what they're doing right now. UM. So,

87
00:04:24,920 --> 00:04:27,440
Speaker 1: but I'll stay in touch with him. You know, those

88
00:04:27,480 --> 00:04:31,520
Speaker 1: are my brothers. So UM, that's that's my answer to that.

89
00:04:34,080 --> 00:04:45,040
Speaker 1: We'll take two more at Valentine. And I think you're

90
00:04:45,080 --> 00:04:54,479
Speaker 1: on mute sorry about that. Is that you're entering your

91
00:04:54,520 --> 00:04:56,280
Speaker 1: third year in the league, and I mean you mentioned

92
00:04:56,320 --> 00:04:58,919
Speaker 1: it a little bit, but is it really time for

93
00:04:59,120 --> 00:05:02,400
Speaker 1: you to step into that leadership role and are you

94
00:05:02,480 --> 00:05:06,240
Speaker 1: really looking forward to that. I've been, like I said,

95
00:05:06,320 --> 00:05:10,039
Speaker 1: from day one, I've been a leader. UM. So nothing changes.

96
00:05:10,600 --> 00:05:13,200
Speaker 1: Like I said, don't matter who's here, UM, it don't

97
00:05:13,200 --> 00:05:17,039
Speaker 1: matter who's going. UM, I've been been the same. UM.

98
00:05:17,080 --> 00:05:20,080
Speaker 1: I'll just continue to improve and get better. I probably

99
00:05:20,160 --> 00:05:23,679
Speaker 1: myself on you know, consistency and you know, being able

100
00:05:23,720 --> 00:05:27,240
Speaker 1: to improve myself my game, UM, and how I lead

101
00:05:27,360 --> 00:05:30,240
Speaker 1: each and every day. UM. And that's the steps that

102
00:05:30,279 --> 00:05:32,160
Speaker 1: I'm gonna take forward with it. But like I said,

103
00:05:32,279 --> 00:05:35,440
Speaker 1: I've been a leader, um for for a very long time.

104
00:05:35,520 --> 00:05:38,120
Speaker 1: So this is nothing new to me. UM. I don't

105
00:05:38,160 --> 00:05:40,159
Speaker 1: see it as you know, something that's bigger than what

106
00:05:40,200 --> 00:05:43,600
Speaker 1: it was before, because I've always it's just who I am.

107
00:05:43,720 --> 00:05:47,440
Speaker 1: So UM, there's no like added pressure or anything like that.

108
00:05:47,440 --> 00:05:49,640
Speaker 1: It's just so I am, and it's what I do.

109
00:05:50,800 --> 00:05:57,599
Speaker 1: Thank you. We'll take one more Art Stapleton, Hey, Zay,

110
00:05:58,279 --> 00:06:00,720
Speaker 1: you know you talk about last year as a whole

111
00:06:00,760 --> 00:06:04,760
Speaker 1: for for you individually and what your goals are. Do

112
00:06:04,760 --> 00:06:07,920
Speaker 1: you feel like you've laid the foundation now to know

113
00:06:08,360 --> 00:06:10,320
Speaker 1: who you are as a player in the pros and

114
00:06:10,320 --> 00:06:12,880
Speaker 1: now you could kind of attack where you want to

115
00:06:12,880 --> 00:06:16,599
Speaker 1: go beyond what you showed last year. Yeah, yeah, I

116
00:06:16,640 --> 00:06:19,680
Speaker 1: definitely do. UM. I think I've I've done a lot

117
00:06:19,720 --> 00:06:23,240
Speaker 1: of good things very well. UM. I think I figured out,

118
00:06:23,440 --> 00:06:25,200
Speaker 1: you know, a lot of things obviously, like I said,

119
00:06:25,360 --> 00:06:28,359
Speaker 1: I still have a lot of improvement to to continue

120
00:06:28,400 --> 00:06:31,960
Speaker 1: to grow. Um. But as far as laying the foundation wise,

121
00:06:32,000 --> 00:06:34,280
Speaker 1: I think I've done that. UM. And I think I

122
00:06:34,560 --> 00:06:36,720
Speaker 1: like I've learned a lot. I've seen, you know a

123
00:06:36,760 --> 00:06:39,279
Speaker 1: lot of different things throughout these you know two years

124
00:06:39,520 --> 00:06:41,800
Speaker 1: that I've been here. UM. So now I think it's

125
00:06:41,839 --> 00:06:44,200
Speaker 1: just time to kind of, you know, step it up

126
00:06:44,200 --> 00:06:47,160
Speaker 1: a notch and and go a little bit further with it. UM,

127
00:06:47,240 --> 00:06:49,359
Speaker 1: and it just keep building on from you know what,

128
00:06:49,480 --> 00:06:50,400
Speaker 1: what I've already built
