1
00:00:02,600 --> 00:00:04,440
Speaker 1: I love talking to this young man. This is a

2
00:00:04,480 --> 00:00:08,240
Speaker 1: great football story. It keeps getting better and better. Ashton Doolan,

3
00:00:08,280 --> 00:00:10,799
Speaker 1: You've been around here with the Colts over five years.

4
00:00:10,800 --> 00:00:10,960
Speaker 2: Now.

5
00:00:11,000 --> 00:00:13,040
Speaker 1: We saw what you did in twenty twenty one. You're

6
00:00:13,080 --> 00:00:15,480
Speaker 1: an All Pro in the special teams unit. We saw

7
00:00:15,560 --> 00:00:18,840
Speaker 1: you have some flashes as a wide receiver. And Dad Gummett,

8
00:00:18,920 --> 00:00:21,320
Speaker 1: I'm asking you this question, how do you stay mentally

9
00:00:21,360 --> 00:00:24,119
Speaker 1: focused and still have that fire and that will to

10
00:00:24,160 --> 00:00:26,759
Speaker 1: win and compete and everything after an injury like you

11
00:00:26,760 --> 00:00:29,480
Speaker 1: suffered last year, just when everything is going up up

12
00:00:29,600 --> 00:00:32,200
Speaker 1: like this and he suffered that ACL and that joint

13
00:00:32,280 --> 00:00:35,080
Speaker 1: practice last year against the Chicago Bears. How are we

14
00:00:35,120 --> 00:00:37,319
Speaker 1: doing this year and how's your mentals doing good?

15
00:00:37,400 --> 00:00:38,760
Speaker 2: Feeling better, feeling great? Now?

16
00:00:39,120 --> 00:00:41,040
Speaker 3: Mental is at that spot where I'm ready to come

17
00:00:41,080 --> 00:00:42,640
Speaker 3: back and then get rolling and pick up where I

18
00:00:42,720 --> 00:00:44,640
Speaker 3: left off. I think the biggest part about it is

19
00:00:44,880 --> 00:00:48,000
Speaker 3: keeping that mental side while you're out, but being around players,

20
00:00:48,000 --> 00:00:49,839
Speaker 3: being on your teammates, family to kind of keep you

21
00:00:50,080 --> 00:00:52,360
Speaker 3: locked into what it is that you love to do,

22
00:00:52,400 --> 00:00:54,080
Speaker 3: and that's play football. So I think I'm excited and

23
00:00:54,080 --> 00:00:54,600
Speaker 3: ready to get to go.

24
00:00:54,760 --> 00:00:56,760
Speaker 1: And the focus now you gotta have focus. Listen, you

25
00:00:56,880 --> 00:00:59,040
Speaker 1: got new players around you in that wide receiver room

26
00:00:59,120 --> 00:01:02,960
Speaker 1: right now to make your marketing special teams, but draft choices, undrafted,

27
00:01:03,240 --> 00:01:05,600
Speaker 1: you know, stuff like this, always competing. How are you

28
00:01:05,680 --> 00:01:07,720
Speaker 1: keeping straight and keeping the focus of You've been here

29
00:01:07,760 --> 00:01:09,800
Speaker 1: for a while for a reason, Ashton, because you're gifted

30
00:01:09,959 --> 00:01:12,479
Speaker 1: and you're talented, But again staying with that focus saying

31
00:01:12,480 --> 00:01:13,959
Speaker 1: I'm gonna get on the field in twenty four and

32
00:01:13,959 --> 00:01:15,440
Speaker 1: show with the world that what I can do.

33
00:01:15,560 --> 00:01:17,240
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think that's the same mindset every year, is

34
00:01:17,240 --> 00:01:18,720
Speaker 3: going in knowing that you know we're going to bring

35
00:01:18,760 --> 00:01:21,720
Speaker 3: in somebody, whether it's un free agency, draft or something

36
00:01:21,760 --> 00:01:23,120
Speaker 3: like that. But we always got to stay locked in

37
00:01:23,120 --> 00:01:25,720
Speaker 3: and know that competition, you know, it breeds you know,

38
00:01:25,959 --> 00:01:28,720
Speaker 3: a higher level of expectation and just knowing that you

39
00:01:28,720 --> 00:01:30,679
Speaker 3: know we're gonna get to better get better together. So

40
00:01:30,880 --> 00:01:33,000
Speaker 3: for me, it's just staying locked in, knowing I've been

41
00:01:33,000 --> 00:01:34,880
Speaker 3: doing this for for six years now and just sticking

42
00:01:34,920 --> 00:01:36,720
Speaker 3: to the plan and going with it Ashton.

43
00:01:36,800 --> 00:01:39,039
Speaker 4: Jeffrey talked about the injury. For you, what was the

44
00:01:39,080 --> 00:01:41,160
Speaker 4: hardest part about sitting out last year?

45
00:01:41,600 --> 00:01:44,679
Speaker 3: I think sitting out obviously just just watching and knowing

46
00:01:44,680 --> 00:01:46,760
Speaker 3: that I really can't do much to help the team,

47
00:01:46,840 --> 00:01:49,040
Speaker 3: knowing that I'm in this situation where I got to

48
00:01:49,080 --> 00:01:51,040
Speaker 3: help myself and get myself back to be back on

49
00:01:51,080 --> 00:01:53,320
Speaker 3: the field to help the team because my first injury,

50
00:01:53,360 --> 00:01:56,080
Speaker 3: like big injury, big surgery, first time for anything. So

51
00:01:56,200 --> 00:01:57,520
Speaker 3: this is kind of new for me in the sense

52
00:01:57,560 --> 00:02:00,400
Speaker 3: of how do I adjust and then get myself back

53
00:02:00,440 --> 00:02:02,240
Speaker 3: onto the track I can be back on the field.

54
00:02:02,600 --> 00:02:04,200
Speaker 4: As we sit here and talk to you in the spring,

55
00:02:04,240 --> 00:02:06,040
Speaker 4: where do you think you're at within this offense? I

56
00:02:06,080 --> 00:02:08,720
Speaker 4: know mentally you're on top of it because you always are.

57
00:02:08,800 --> 00:02:10,840
Speaker 4: That's the type of player you are. And you've got

58
00:02:10,880 --> 00:02:12,880
Speaker 4: a year on your belt with Shane Stike and being

59
00:02:12,919 --> 00:02:15,240
Speaker 4: here for the entire season, But you don't have a

60
00:02:15,280 --> 00:02:17,600
Speaker 4: lot of run on the grass as they say with

61
00:02:17,680 --> 00:02:21,200
Speaker 4: Anthony Richardson at the quarterback position. Where are you within

62
00:02:21,280 --> 00:02:23,080
Speaker 4: this offense and how it kind of suits you as

63
00:02:23,080 --> 00:02:23,480
Speaker 4: a player?

64
00:02:23,800 --> 00:02:24,880
Speaker 2: Yeah? I think you know.

65
00:02:24,919 --> 00:02:28,040
Speaker 3: With with us having you know, new coaches, being able

66
00:02:28,080 --> 00:02:30,600
Speaker 3: to figure out the role and the aspect of where

67
00:02:30,639 --> 00:02:32,040
Speaker 3: they see you and how you fit in the offense

68
00:02:32,160 --> 00:02:34,200
Speaker 3: is kind of a thing that is fun in a

69
00:02:34,240 --> 00:02:36,400
Speaker 3: sense because now we have a different kind of component

70
00:02:36,440 --> 00:02:38,160
Speaker 3: to our offense, so I have to kind of play

71
00:02:38,240 --> 00:02:39,760
Speaker 3: my role and fit in where, you know, getting where

72
00:02:39,760 --> 00:02:43,000
Speaker 3: I fit in. But I think as a whole mentally,

73
00:02:43,040 --> 00:02:44,639
Speaker 3: I just I've been in this offense for so long,

74
00:02:44,720 --> 00:02:47,160
Speaker 3: so I kind of understand, you know, how it works

75
00:02:47,160 --> 00:02:48,880
Speaker 3: and how it flows, and then what needs having for

76
00:02:48,919 --> 00:02:51,560
Speaker 3: it to be a good offense. So I just got

77
00:02:51,560 --> 00:02:52,960
Speaker 3: to build on that this year and hopefully you know

78
00:02:53,000 --> 00:02:54,359
Speaker 3: which is Sky's learning from there.

79
00:02:54,440 --> 00:02:56,480
Speaker 4: What do you like most about this offense for you

80
00:02:56,520 --> 00:02:58,000
Speaker 4: as a player and how you fit in it?

81
00:02:58,440 --> 00:03:00,959
Speaker 3: I think is an explosive offense. I think we set

82
00:03:01,000 --> 00:03:02,680
Speaker 3: up our running so well and then it opens up

83
00:03:02,680 --> 00:03:04,960
Speaker 3: our past game. We have a quarterback who can get

84
00:03:05,000 --> 00:03:06,480
Speaker 3: us the ball and get the ball downfield and you know,

85
00:03:06,600 --> 00:03:08,519
Speaker 3: throw sixty yard passes. So I think that's the funniest

86
00:03:08,560 --> 00:03:10,440
Speaker 3: part about it is being able to have a good

87
00:03:10,520 --> 00:03:12,480
Speaker 3: run game, but also marriage with the past game as

88
00:03:12,480 --> 00:03:13,960
Speaker 3: well to be able to you know, create those big

89
00:03:13,960 --> 00:03:14,760
Speaker 3: exposive plays.

90
00:03:14,880 --> 00:03:18,000
Speaker 1: Talking to Ashton Dulan right here and getting better, You're

91
00:03:18,080 --> 00:03:20,040
Speaker 1: you're one of the older guys in that wide receiver

92
00:03:20,120 --> 00:03:22,359
Speaker 1: room now, and I mean you're an old player old man,

93
00:03:22,400 --> 00:03:24,200
Speaker 1: nothing like that. But you've been around here longer, so

94
00:03:24,200 --> 00:03:26,280
Speaker 1: many these young guys with the Michael Pittmans and such

95
00:03:26,320 --> 00:03:28,600
Speaker 1: behind you and stuff. Now this young quarterback comes in

96
00:03:28,720 --> 00:03:31,320
Speaker 1: just like this, You personally to stay around here to

97
00:03:31,480 --> 00:03:33,600
Speaker 1: have an impact and stuff. What are you working on

98
00:03:33,680 --> 00:03:35,960
Speaker 1: this year? Something different that you did the year before?

99
00:03:36,000 --> 00:03:37,400
Speaker 1: And I know last year was a tough one with

100
00:03:37,440 --> 00:03:39,560
Speaker 1: the injury, but hey, you got to perform out here.

101
00:03:39,600 --> 00:03:40,920
Speaker 1: Are they going to give you a pink slip? And

102
00:03:40,920 --> 00:03:43,360
Speaker 1: I'm not just saying you just anybody across the NFL.

103
00:03:43,440 --> 00:03:43,760
Speaker 2: Yeah.

104
00:03:43,840 --> 00:03:46,040
Speaker 3: I think for me the biggest thing is being able

105
00:03:46,080 --> 00:03:48,760
Speaker 3: to take my game from the mental side. So as

106
00:03:48,800 --> 00:03:51,560
Speaker 3: me watching film knowing what defense is going to run,

107
00:03:51,600 --> 00:03:54,560
Speaker 3: knowing coverages, that that's kind of what separates you from

108
00:03:54,640 --> 00:03:56,160
Speaker 3: from good to great players. To be able to take

109
00:03:56,200 --> 00:03:58,600
Speaker 3: that next step from the mental side and be able

110
00:03:58,600 --> 00:04:00,240
Speaker 3: to know what how you get open?

111
00:04:00,640 --> 00:04:01,320
Speaker 2: How do I get open?

112
00:04:01,440 --> 00:04:03,240
Speaker 3: And if it's against you know, cover one or as

113
00:04:03,240 --> 00:04:05,080
Speaker 3: against zone or something like that. One of my best

114
00:04:05,360 --> 00:04:07,800
Speaker 3: attributes to be able to defeat this this press or

115
00:04:07,840 --> 00:04:09,760
Speaker 3: this this zone coverage. So I think that's the biggest

116
00:04:09,760 --> 00:04:12,960
Speaker 3: thing is taking that next step mentally and being prepared

117
00:04:13,000 --> 00:04:13,280
Speaker 3: that way.

118
00:04:13,320 --> 00:04:16,240
Speaker 1: You're a big wide receiver, world class speed at the

119
00:04:16,240 --> 00:04:18,200
Speaker 1: same thing on that you're coming off this what it

120
00:04:18,240 --> 00:04:20,400
Speaker 1: is right now, that sort of thing that's not going

121
00:04:20,480 --> 00:04:22,480
Speaker 1: to have any setback for you physically as far as

122
00:04:22,520 --> 00:04:24,600
Speaker 1: and I know you're slow, you know, just in the

123
00:04:24,640 --> 00:04:27,040
Speaker 1: start of the rehab program on this. But bro, if

124
00:04:27,080 --> 00:04:28,800
Speaker 1: your size, you've got to have your speed with it. It

125
00:04:28,920 --> 00:04:30,040
Speaker 1: can't have one or the other.

126
00:04:30,200 --> 00:04:30,880
Speaker 2: You know what I'm saying.

127
00:04:30,880 --> 00:04:33,440
Speaker 1: Absolutely the focus of having that starter back, being the

128
00:04:33,480 --> 00:04:36,080
Speaker 1: top notch athlete that you are and the hard work

129
00:04:36,120 --> 00:04:38,479
Speaker 1: that you're putting in for that. What is that consistent

130
00:04:38,520 --> 00:04:41,239
Speaker 1: of Because you told Matt earlier, probably fighting those mental

131
00:04:41,240 --> 00:04:43,120
Speaker 1: games saying I'm watching my team play, I can't help

132
00:04:43,160 --> 00:04:43,400
Speaker 1: them out.

133
00:04:43,520 --> 00:04:45,080
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, I think I think the biggest thing is

134
00:04:45,080 --> 00:04:47,880
Speaker 3: trusting that, you know, trusting the trainers and everybody's around me,

135
00:04:47,960 --> 00:04:50,159
Speaker 3: knowing that they get me back to that spot I

136
00:04:50,240 --> 00:04:53,039
Speaker 3: was once in and knowing that, trusting my authetic ability

137
00:04:53,120 --> 00:04:55,200
Speaker 3: to be able to you know, send me in my game.

138
00:04:55,200 --> 00:04:57,000
Speaker 3: And I think that's the biggest part is knowing that

139
00:04:57,240 --> 00:04:58,800
Speaker 3: I got the team around I got people around me

140
00:04:58,800 --> 00:05:00,480
Speaker 3: who can who can help me and it's not doing

141
00:05:00,520 --> 00:05:02,159
Speaker 3: it alone. So the biggest thing for me was that

142
00:05:02,200 --> 00:05:04,600
Speaker 3: trust people around me, lean on them, and back in

143
00:05:04,680 --> 00:05:05,480
Speaker 3: time we will back.

144
00:05:05,520 --> 00:05:06,480
Speaker 2: We need to be Ashton.

145
00:05:06,520 --> 00:05:08,760
Speaker 4: You've been around this game for a long time, and

146
00:05:08,760 --> 00:05:10,680
Speaker 4: you've been with the Colts, as Jeffrey said, now going

147
00:05:10,720 --> 00:05:14,120
Speaker 4: into your sixth season, and unfortunately due to circumstances that

148
00:05:14,160 --> 00:05:16,920
Speaker 4: you can't control. You've seen and worked with a lot

149
00:05:16,920 --> 00:05:20,400
Speaker 4: of quarterbacks, including Anthony Richardson. In terms of how special

150
00:05:20,440 --> 00:05:23,760
Speaker 4: this guy is and you know the physical specimen that

151
00:05:23,839 --> 00:05:27,080
Speaker 4: he is and can become. When you saw him last

152
00:05:27,160 --> 00:05:29,039
Speaker 4: year in those first four games and you worked with

153
00:05:29,120 --> 00:05:31,040
Speaker 4: him in those first couple of weeks of training camp,

154
00:05:31,360 --> 00:05:32,119
Speaker 4: what did you think.

155
00:05:32,360 --> 00:05:35,560
Speaker 2: I think the future is bright. He looks looks terrific.

156
00:05:36,080 --> 00:05:38,719
Speaker 2: Like we said, he has all the physical attributes.

157
00:05:38,160 --> 00:05:41,440
Speaker 3: And he's only gonna get better from here, learning the

158
00:05:41,480 --> 00:05:43,719
Speaker 3: game and having guys that can be able to help

159
00:05:43,800 --> 00:05:46,320
Speaker 3: him along the way like Joe, he'll be able to

160
00:05:46,360 --> 00:05:48,039
Speaker 3: help him as far as you know the mental side

161
00:05:48,040 --> 00:05:49,400
Speaker 3: of the game. And Bill, because he's been in the league

162
00:05:49,400 --> 00:05:51,760
Speaker 3: for so long, he's seen everything, he'll be to pass

163
00:05:51,800 --> 00:05:53,720
Speaker 3: it on down to Anthony. I think for him it's

164
00:05:54,120 --> 00:05:56,120
Speaker 3: going to be, you know, something that we're going to

165
00:05:56,160 --> 00:05:57,400
Speaker 3: have fun and enjoyed doing.

166
00:05:57,680 --> 00:06:01,240
Speaker 4: What kind of exponential growth do you expect out of

167
00:06:01,320 --> 00:06:04,640
Speaker 4: him this spring and how important is it that he

168
00:06:04,760 --> 00:06:08,240
Speaker 4: is out there post surgery, that he's physically out there,

169
00:06:08,360 --> 00:06:11,320
Speaker 4: and what that represents with the team in the spring

170
00:06:11,480 --> 00:06:13,720
Speaker 4: as you turn the book and turn the chapter over

171
00:06:13,800 --> 00:06:16,400
Speaker 4: from twenty twenty three to twenty twenty four.

172
00:06:16,520 --> 00:06:17,920
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think this is a good time for him

173
00:06:17,920 --> 00:06:21,040
Speaker 3: because now he's able to continue to build chemistry from

174
00:06:21,160 --> 00:06:22,880
Speaker 3: last year and be able to take that step for

175
00:06:23,760 --> 00:06:27,000
Speaker 3: growing his game as a whole and complete quarterback. I

176
00:06:27,000 --> 00:06:28,960
Speaker 3: think this is a great time for him because now

177
00:06:29,160 --> 00:06:32,440
Speaker 3: he's able to kind of sit back and kind of

178
00:06:32,600 --> 00:06:35,000
Speaker 3: not really slow down things, but kind of understand them

179
00:06:35,040 --> 00:06:37,720
Speaker 3: to a more in depth type of shing. So now

180
00:06:37,720 --> 00:06:40,400
Speaker 3: I'm able to, Okay, see what it is the progression

181
00:06:40,440 --> 00:06:41,640
Speaker 3: wise and what am I reads?

182
00:06:41,640 --> 00:06:42,400
Speaker 2: What is this? What does that?

183
00:06:42,440 --> 00:06:44,719
Speaker 3: What look like for my team? How I what's the

184
00:06:44,760 --> 00:06:46,120
Speaker 3: main read? What's the first person needs to get the

185
00:06:46,120 --> 00:06:47,560
Speaker 3: ball or something like that. So I think for him

186
00:06:47,600 --> 00:06:50,240
Speaker 3: this is going to be an exciting time and I'm

187
00:06:50,240 --> 00:06:51,560
Speaker 3: ready to see where it goes for him.

188
00:06:51,680 --> 00:06:55,080
Speaker 1: Aston Doolan, we're speaking to the speed merchant from Malone College.

189
00:06:55,120 --> 00:06:57,200
Speaker 1: I want to talk to you about that. That's like

190
00:06:57,279 --> 00:06:59,640
Speaker 1: you're alone, bro, There's not many of yous out there

191
00:06:59,680 --> 00:07:02,560
Speaker 1: right now. Not only does you know your former college team,

192
00:07:02,800 --> 00:07:04,400
Speaker 1: they don't have a team anymore, and stuff of me

193
00:07:04,480 --> 00:07:06,080
Speaker 1: the only one that you're doing what you're doing in

194
00:07:06,120 --> 00:07:07,920
Speaker 1: the NFL. How's that feel? You got to look back then,

195
00:07:08,040 --> 00:07:09,560
Speaker 1: Like I said, six years here in.

196
00:07:09,440 --> 00:07:12,200
Speaker 3: Indianapolis, It's it's crazy to think about, you know. You know,

197
00:07:12,240 --> 00:07:13,760
Speaker 3: I have a lot of guys that I still talked

198
00:07:13,800 --> 00:07:15,520
Speaker 3: to from college that are still trying to, you know,

199
00:07:15,680 --> 00:07:18,400
Speaker 3: to take that next step. They may be somewhere else playing,

200
00:07:18,440 --> 00:07:20,520
Speaker 3: but they're still locking on the dream, still locking them

201
00:07:20,520 --> 00:07:22,280
Speaker 3: on the goal. So I think it's kind of cool

202
00:07:22,320 --> 00:07:24,200
Speaker 3: to know what they're still looking up to me as

203
00:07:24,240 --> 00:07:26,000
Speaker 3: that guy. You know that's you know, you're the last

204
00:07:26,000 --> 00:07:27,120
Speaker 3: when to come out of you only want to come

205
00:07:27,160 --> 00:07:29,600
Speaker 3: out of them alone. So I think that's that's kind

206
00:07:29,640 --> 00:07:31,440
Speaker 3: of a chip out of my shoulders, knowing that, you know,

207
00:07:31,440 --> 00:07:32,880
Speaker 3: it's not just about me, I'm doing it for more

208
00:07:32,920 --> 00:07:33,440
Speaker 3: than myself.

209
00:07:33,520 --> 00:07:35,720
Speaker 1: A great story, Ashton doing and you made your hay

210
00:07:35,880 --> 00:07:38,040
Speaker 1: as a special teamer. We talked about it earlier in

211
00:07:38,040 --> 00:07:40,239
Speaker 1: the single All Pro. Doing that do me a favor

212
00:07:40,280 --> 00:07:42,040
Speaker 1: as a fan that I am in the upper deck

213
00:07:42,080 --> 00:07:44,160
Speaker 1: watching you guys do your work. What the hell is

214
00:07:44,200 --> 00:07:46,600
Speaker 1: going on with this new kickoff rule and how does

215
00:07:46,640 --> 00:07:48,480
Speaker 1: it affect you and what you do for a lot?

216
00:07:48,560 --> 00:07:50,240
Speaker 3: Yeah, Yeah, I think it's going to be a good

217
00:07:50,280 --> 00:07:52,080
Speaker 3: new aspects of the game as far as you know,

218
00:07:52,240 --> 00:07:53,800
Speaker 3: a lot of a lot of teams haven't been bringing

219
00:07:53,840 --> 00:07:55,320
Speaker 3: the baller, like I say, we have only had nine

220
00:07:55,360 --> 00:07:58,240
Speaker 3: returns and last year. But I think with this new

221
00:07:58,320 --> 00:08:00,480
Speaker 3: rule kind of brings some new excitement you know, how

222
00:08:00,480 --> 00:08:02,640
Speaker 3: it's going to go. I think that's the biggest That's

223
00:08:02,640 --> 00:08:04,400
Speaker 3: the probably the funniest part about it is nobody really

224
00:08:04,400 --> 00:08:06,960
Speaker 3: knows what to expect from it. It's going to be

225
00:08:07,000 --> 00:08:09,119
Speaker 3: a lot of uncertainty, a lot of you know, different

226
00:08:09,160 --> 00:08:10,760
Speaker 3: type of game plans. So I think once we get

227
00:08:10,800 --> 00:08:12,760
Speaker 3: into it and get rolling, they're gonna bring us some

228
00:08:12,800 --> 00:08:14,600
Speaker 3: excitement to the game, maybe a lot of big returns

229
00:08:14,640 --> 00:08:15,200
Speaker 3: for stringolks.

230
00:08:15,240 --> 00:08:17,679
Speaker 4: So I mean by way of the rules, the NFL

231
00:08:17,840 --> 00:08:22,080
Speaker 4: is essentially punishing with field position touchbacks right right, So

232
00:08:22,120 --> 00:08:24,760
Speaker 4: they are very much encouraging returns.

233
00:08:24,880 --> 00:08:25,680
Speaker 2: To what degree do you.

234
00:08:25,640 --> 00:08:27,680
Speaker 4: Think we're going to see returns? I mean, you think

235
00:08:27,680 --> 00:08:31,800
Speaker 4: we'll see ninety plus percent returns almost every kick.

236
00:08:31,840 --> 00:08:33,480
Speaker 3: I hope we see a lot more returns. I think

237
00:08:33,480 --> 00:08:36,000
Speaker 3: it's it's it's hope it is that higher ninety percent. Yeah,

238
00:08:36,120 --> 00:08:38,680
Speaker 3: we're getting those opportunities to flip the field or whatever

239
00:08:38,679 --> 00:08:40,360
Speaker 3: it may be in great players on special team.

240
00:08:40,440 --> 00:08:42,040
Speaker 4: Yeah, no doubt about that. I want to go back

241
00:08:42,080 --> 00:08:44,600
Speaker 4: to Anthony Richardson real quick if I can. You know,

242
00:08:44,640 --> 00:08:46,920
Speaker 4: you got hurt in training camp. He got hurt and

243
00:08:47,000 --> 00:08:49,920
Speaker 4: going into week number five, did you guys at all

244
00:08:50,000 --> 00:08:53,640
Speaker 4: kind of bond going through that process together the rehab

245
00:08:53,760 --> 00:08:56,319
Speaker 4: warriors that you had to become. Obviously it's not something

246
00:08:56,320 --> 00:08:58,600
Speaker 4: you choose together, But did you guys kind of form

247
00:08:58,640 --> 00:09:00,080
Speaker 4: a bond off the field because.

248
00:08:59,840 --> 00:09:00,760
Speaker 2: Of Yeah, for sure.

249
00:09:00,800 --> 00:09:02,520
Speaker 3: I mean just in the offseason knowing he's coming in,

250
00:09:02,559 --> 00:09:05,000
Speaker 3: we're both coming into the facility just to specifically work

251
00:09:05,080 --> 00:09:07,319
Speaker 3: on getting our bodies back to where it was before.

252
00:09:07,400 --> 00:09:09,719
Speaker 3: So having that mental side and be able to talk

253
00:09:09,760 --> 00:09:11,720
Speaker 3: to him, you know, off the field, whether it's not football,

254
00:09:11,800 --> 00:09:15,480
Speaker 3: but kind of grow our chemistry together as just knowing

255
00:09:15,520 --> 00:09:17,480
Speaker 3: each other as as people. I think that's probably the

256
00:09:17,480 --> 00:09:19,760
Speaker 3: biggest part. And then you know football does come along

257
00:09:19,760 --> 00:09:21,480
Speaker 3: with it too, because now we're sitting there watching back

258
00:09:21,559 --> 00:09:24,160
Speaker 3: watching games and then thinking about what can we do

259
00:09:24,240 --> 00:09:26,600
Speaker 3: to help this team or what we do to do better.

260
00:09:27,040 --> 00:09:28,400
Speaker 3: So I think that's the biggest thing of it, just

261
00:09:28,400 --> 00:09:31,319
Speaker 3: just having general conversation, just building our relationship that way.

262
00:09:31,440 --> 00:09:33,760
Speaker 4: He impresses me just like you. I think you're an

263
00:09:33,800 --> 00:09:36,520
Speaker 4: old soul. But he's twenty one years old. He's going

264
00:09:36,559 --> 00:09:38,280
Speaker 4: to be twenty two, I think later on this month,

265
00:09:38,320 --> 00:09:40,640
Speaker 4: as we take this in the month of May, how

266
00:09:40,640 --> 00:09:44,280
Speaker 4: do you notice him being kind of wiser beyond his years.

267
00:09:44,320 --> 00:09:45,199
Speaker 2: I think that's good for him.

268
00:09:45,200 --> 00:09:47,920
Speaker 3: I think that's the biggest part, is being young in

269
00:09:47,960 --> 00:09:50,480
Speaker 3: the league and you know everything's new. He can get

270
00:09:50,480 --> 00:09:52,920
Speaker 3: lost in the sense, but he has his head on straight.

271
00:09:53,320 --> 00:09:53,880
Speaker 2: Family man.

272
00:09:54,520 --> 00:09:56,839
Speaker 3: You know, he's all bought in on being the best

273
00:09:56,840 --> 00:09:58,720
Speaker 3: player he can be for hisself and the team. So

274
00:09:58,760 --> 00:10:01,080
Speaker 3: I think you have that you can't complain at all all.

275
00:10:01,160 --> 00:10:02,679
Speaker 4: Right, last one for me, what do you want to

276
00:10:02,679 --> 00:10:05,840
Speaker 4: get accomplished this spring to set yourself up for success

277
00:10:05,880 --> 00:10:07,440
Speaker 4: going going into year number six?

278
00:10:07,440 --> 00:10:09,480
Speaker 3: In training camp, I think the biggest thing for me

279
00:10:09,600 --> 00:10:12,480
Speaker 3: is just getting my body back to where it needs

280
00:10:12,480 --> 00:10:15,400
Speaker 3: to be, feeling confident in my game, and then taking

281
00:10:15,400 --> 00:10:17,040
Speaker 3: that next step from the like I said the mental

282
00:10:17,080 --> 00:10:19,440
Speaker 3: side earlier, just being able to us send myself and

283
00:10:19,440 --> 00:10:21,199
Speaker 3: separate from from the rest of the pack.

284
00:10:21,440 --> 00:10:23,760
Speaker 1: And that that Westfield training camp coming up at the

285
00:10:23,840 --> 00:10:26,200
Speaker 1: end of July. Can we expect and I'm just doing

286
00:10:26,200 --> 00:10:27,760
Speaker 1: this for the fans sake, can we expect to see

287
00:10:27,800 --> 00:10:28,560
Speaker 1: you at one hundred.

288
00:10:28,320 --> 00:10:29,720
Speaker 2: Percent of Yes? Indeed, that's the plan.

289
00:10:29,920 --> 00:10:31,760
Speaker 1: That is the plan right there. Okay, I've got one

290
00:10:31,800 --> 00:10:33,560
Speaker 1: more for it, actually two more. I'm being a little

291
00:10:33,600 --> 00:10:35,880
Speaker 1: bit greedy here, But what does it look like for you?

292
00:10:36,840 --> 00:10:39,319
Speaker 1: Let's go Pitt, Yeah, Pierce, you got downs. You know

293
00:10:39,360 --> 00:10:41,120
Speaker 1: what I'm saying. You got you got Mitchell out there.

294
00:10:41,160 --> 00:10:41,319
Speaker 2: Now.

295
00:10:41,480 --> 00:10:43,880
Speaker 1: What does a a your year look like for you

296
00:10:43,960 --> 00:10:46,440
Speaker 1: being a part of this wide receiver group and adding

297
00:10:46,520 --> 00:10:48,480
Speaker 1: value to that wide receiver room. What's it look like

298
00:10:48,520 --> 00:10:48,960
Speaker 1: in your eyes?

299
00:10:49,040 --> 00:10:49,880
Speaker 2: Right now? For me?

300
00:10:49,920 --> 00:10:52,440
Speaker 3: I think, you know, just having that aspect of knowing

301
00:10:52,160 --> 00:10:54,319
Speaker 3: I've been in this honest team for six years and

302
00:10:54,640 --> 00:10:58,439
Speaker 3: bringing the Jews as far as the veteran leaders leadership,

303
00:10:58,880 --> 00:11:00,679
Speaker 3: knowing that I can make a big plays as well,

304
00:11:00,679 --> 00:11:02,840
Speaker 3: and it was my speed and then taking advantage of

305
00:11:02,840 --> 00:11:04,839
Speaker 3: that and also being big in the run game as well.

306
00:11:04,840 --> 00:11:08,000
Speaker 3: I think that's a kind of a I guess the

307
00:11:08,040 --> 00:11:09,800
Speaker 3: facet of my game that I take it. I take

308
00:11:09,840 --> 00:11:11,240
Speaker 3: pride in and as being able to block.

309
00:11:11,080 --> 00:11:13,920
Speaker 2: The receivers, so exactly.

310
00:11:15,240 --> 00:11:18,480
Speaker 1: Dueling a little bit after the whistle too, a little bit,

311
00:11:18,679 --> 00:11:20,280
Speaker 1: that's what we love to see. My last one off

312
00:11:20,280 --> 00:11:23,000
Speaker 1: the football field, July is coming up pretty quick. That

313
00:11:23,080 --> 00:11:25,760
Speaker 1: means Summer Olympics are coming up. That means track and

314
00:11:25,800 --> 00:11:27,760
Speaker 1: field's coming up. Where your eyes be on track and
