Speaker 1: Kind sure that you've become obsessed with football?
Speaker 2: Is that true? And how so I've been obsessed with football?
Speaker 2: Is there anything that you're doing differently all season? You said, Uh,
Speaker 2: kind of just like making my own plan a little bit,
Speaker 2: like taking the past few years and knowing what I
Speaker 2: need to do and what I want to do and
Speaker 2: kind of making them together. Yeah, Frendy, do you have
Speaker 2: do you have a favorite route? You're running the deep
Speaker 2: cross a lot, You're making a lot of plays on
Speaker 2: that on that ball. Uh, I do have. My favorite
Speaker 2: route is probably when that we're working on the go ball.
Speaker 2: We're trying to get the go ball going. But yeah,
Speaker 2: we like the deep cross. We talked about that one
Speaker 2: being a free one, a free pretty much a free
Speaker 2: one as long as we get uh past these linebackers
Speaker 2: in this defense.
Speaker 1: You got a bunch of space to work with.
Speaker 2: But yeah, some of the things that you felt like
Speaker 2: you needed to do.
Speaker 1: Just running just be never run.
Speaker 2: Uh you're talking about the off season, right, Yeah, just
Speaker 2: running more, being able to have my legs, not as
Speaker 2: much as the upper body focus this year, but more
Speaker 2: so just lower body.
Speaker 1: What your conditioning is right now compared to yours past
Speaker 1: and can Uh, how much better can it be?
Speaker 2: I feel good. We'll see you tomorrow when we put
Speaker 2: the paths back on. But it's a little bit different.
Speaker 2: Once you don't have like the Once your mind's not
Speaker 2: going a million miles power, it just seems like your
Speaker 2: body it's just less work that you have to go through.
Speaker 2: So it kind of feels like every play is not
Speaker 2: just a thousand miles per hour and like full exertion
Speaker 2: on the body.
Speaker 1: Just being able to get to spots and just play football.
Speaker 2: Yeah, just understanding the field, just understanding the playbook, understanding
Speaker 2: what I have to do on east giving play.
Speaker 1: Yeah, talked about you said that this is as confident
Speaker 1: as they've ever seen you. Uh, do you agree that
Speaker 1: you're as confident as you've ever been in the NFL
Speaker 1: right now? And if so, where's that coming from? Yeah?
Speaker 1: For sure.
Speaker 2: Just it is my fourth year in this offense, third
Speaker 2: off season in this offense, and then the work that
Speaker 2: I felt like I put in, and then also the
Speaker 2: success that I've had in the years. Put it all
Speaker 2: together and that's what you get. So yeah, for sure.
Speaker 2: Was it for you to have a year like last
Speaker 2: year that that says like, hey, I can do this,
Speaker 2: but I can still do way more. Yeah, just looking
Speaker 2: back on it, you get to see some of the
Speaker 2: success and then also some of the stuff that didn't
Speaker 2: go well, and then you just look at that and
Speaker 2: you really could see where you could take it to.
Speaker 2: So it wasn't just about seeing success, but seeing opportunities
Speaker 2: miss and what it could look like with those had
Speaker 2: those being made. So yeah, just plays, you know, just plays,
Speaker 2: just lead them all the way back to Carolina last
Speaker 2: year at the beginning of the season. Couple uh some
Speaker 2: play goal ball in that s in in that game
Speaker 2: Seattle and the other go ball on the same side
Speaker 2: in that game.
Speaker 1: Touchdown. Chargers touched down the Seattle on playoffs.
Speaker 2: So just stuff like that that you look at and
Speaker 2: you at those with it you can see where you
Speaker 2: could really take it.
Speaker 1: So just about maximizing, like fans can pay themselves a
Speaker 1: little bit. Sometimes in training camp you don't seem to
Speaker 1: do that. You go pretty hard, really hard every day.
Speaker 1: W what is your mindset going into these practices in
Speaker 1: late July, Like what are you trying to prove? Uh, Well,
Speaker 1: it's just trying to put yourself every day.
Speaker 2: We got DV I mean the DVS they're not gonna
Speaker 2: stop talking to us, So we gotta go out there
Speaker 2: and prove it to them every single day, prove to
Speaker 2: ourselves every single day, and then just getting better. We
Speaker 2: talked about it talking with Demo, where like we got
Speaker 2: a couple weeks to be the best version of ourselves
Speaker 2: leading into the season. So we gotta take advantage of
Speaker 2: these day and just looking at it like that.
Speaker 1: You who are you expecting with those guys when when
Speaker 1: the pack comes on you, it's gotten a whole should be.
Speaker 2: We gonna see here, we'll see, but yeah, we expect
Speaker 2: them to, uh come out flying around, put it past
Speaker 2: the use.
Speaker 1: There's no no chimney ward this year. Who's the voice?
Speaker 1: I mean, who's voice? Do you here?
Speaker 2: Coming out of that defensive back room this summer.
Speaker 1: All of 'em they all talking, They all talking.
Speaker 2: Uh. They came in I think from a uh spring
Speaker 2: LTA's uh. They started to build their confidence, they started
Speaker 2: to they feel the same way. They feel like, uh,
Speaker 2: they played a little bit, They feel like they could
Speaker 2: take it to another level. And we're out here working
Speaker 2: every single day. So all those guys are working on
Speaker 2: like from amr ambreed Demo, even the young guys. Uh
Speaker 2: twenty two. He's out there balling, he's out there working. Uh,
Speaker 2: not afraid to compete at Also, Uh, those guys are
Speaker 2: doing a great job. You al Demo talk a lot
Speaker 2: in the locker room online, like what's your relationship like
Speaker 2: with him?
Speaker 1: In particular?
Speaker 2: That's my doll, that's my doll. But he ch he
Speaker 2: he he's a he's a dog. He's a real dog.
Speaker 2: They kind of they've challenged them since you got here,
Speaker 2: and I think he still a to the to the
Speaker 2: challenge ever since.
Speaker 1: Uh, I not a lot of people can.
Speaker 2: A lot of people sat away from the challenge and
Speaker 2: he stepped right into it. He's becoming a player.
Speaker 1: Let him kind of sending the way that you did.
Speaker 2: I mean, he's a little bit behind you in terms
Speaker 2: of experience, but is he like taking the same steps
Speaker 2: you did on.
Speaker 1: The offensive side of the ball in terms of raising
Speaker 1: this game.
Speaker 2: I mean, I'm not over there with them, so I
Speaker 2: couldn't really tell you that. You don't have to ask
Speaker 2: him that. But the way that I see him go
Speaker 2: out there every single day. He was out there every
Speaker 2: day for spring. He's been out there every single day
Speaker 2: in camp so far, going out there working looking to
Speaker 2: get better.
Speaker 1: So if you have that mindset, I'm sure he can
Speaker 1: tw number one receivers.
Speaker 2: Do you guy, do you deep up a little friendly
Speaker 2: uh competition?
Speaker 1: Do you guys? You guys compete with one another? Oh? Yeah,
Speaker 1: for sure, for sure. I think.
Speaker 2: Uh, just like talking with John in the summer, I
Speaker 2: think I love having him as a teammate just cause
Speaker 2: it's like you have somebody around you that motivates you.
Speaker 1: And I said it before.
Speaker 2: I get to watch him and see the stead that
Speaker 2: he does, what he goes about his business, and that
Speaker 2: most makes me to be better. And I'm sure he
Speaker 2: would say the same thing. So we have each other
Speaker 2: even in games like you out there in the game,
Speaker 2: he might make it play first, or I might make
Speaker 2: it play first. The next play that's coming your way.
Speaker 2: It's like you need to make it play too. But
Speaker 2: it's like it's like that. It's like that, it's like
Speaker 2: a brother that you had, that you that you get
Speaker 2: to watch and see do do big things and you
Speaker 2: and you see where you could take it to and
Speaker 2: you get to see some things that you get to
Speaker 2: do if you do stuff the right way.
Speaker 1: So yeah, for sure, the way they're they're rotating the quarterbacks.
Speaker 1: How does that impact you when when you're taking your
Speaker 1: reps and how does that affect it when you're tracking
Speaker 1: the ball.
Speaker 2: Do you kind of know who where that ball might
Speaker 2: be depending on who the quarterback is? Uh No, not really,
Speaker 2: Uh not really. You know, we're we're steps, we're timing.
Speaker 2: So if I'm getting to my spots, quarterbacks were proposed
Speaker 2: to put in the exact same spot. Whether it's rock
Speaker 2: or whether it's DA, it doesn't really matter.
Speaker 1: It doesn't matter.
Speaker 2: Just get to your spot and find the ball. And
Speaker 2: the same for us and out and going out there
Speaker 2: like which receiver is at? They just know we have
Speaker 2: to get to a spot, and yeah it is. I yeah,
Speaker 2: I was just talking. I was just talking to the
Speaker 2: end of the locker room just before he came in here,
Speaker 2: and I'm like, ba ba cause he throwing uh a
Speaker 2: great ball in the redsidme today.
Speaker 1: I was like, yeah, it was f It was weird
Speaker 1: for sure.
Speaker 2: Yeah, when you think about that the way late this
Speaker 2: last year without a single healthy quarterback, to come into
Speaker 2: camp and see four pretty solid veterans, all of 'em
Speaker 2: with the ability to make a place out, how good
Speaker 2: does that.
Speaker 1: Field it feels good. It feels good.
Speaker 2: As receivers, we love going out there, especially when we
Speaker 2: have guys, four guys who can put it anywhere it.
Speaker 1: Needs to be.
Speaker 2: But we're four days in now, uh, just looking to
Speaker 2: continue to build. But yeah, for sure as a receiver,
Speaker 2: as a Patt catcher, anybody in this offense, when you
Speaker 2: have four guys who could throw the football, uh, when
Speaker 2: we finished the season where we did last year, definitely
Speaker 2: gives you a little ease when the balls come out
Speaker 2: from each of the different guys.
Speaker 1: Mm No, I mean they're a little they're not all.
Speaker 2: They're a little bit different, so maybe a little bit
Speaker 2: more touched, a little bit more set, a little bit
Speaker 2: more just to depending on how the ball is. But
Speaker 2: we passed catchal and just catch football.
Speaker 1: Thank you.
Speaker 2: M
