Speaker 1: of work, you know, just getting better every day and

9
00:00:18,440 --> 00:00:20,680
Speaker 1: you know, trying to perfect my craft out there. Steve's

10
00:00:20,680 --> 00:00:22,799
Speaker 1: tired of hearing me say this, but I say it

11
00:00:22,840 --> 00:00:25,080
Speaker 1: a lot. They're asking a lot from you, aren't they.

12
00:00:25,079 --> 00:00:27,080
Speaker 1: I mean, you don't have to admit it, but they're

13
00:00:27,120 --> 00:00:29,560
Speaker 1: asking a lot from you, coming right from college at

14
00:00:29,720 --> 00:00:32,479
Speaker 1: a very young age and stepping in here not just playing,

15
00:00:32,560 --> 00:00:35,519
Speaker 1: but kind of managing what goes on out there defensively

16
00:00:35,560 --> 00:00:37,599
Speaker 1: with the first team. Huh yeah. I mean it's it's

17
00:00:37,640 --> 00:00:39,559
Speaker 1: it's a big stuff for everybody that's out there, just

18
00:00:39,600 --> 00:00:42,080
Speaker 1: that transition from college to the NFL. I mean, you're

19
00:00:42,080 --> 00:00:44,320
Speaker 1: gonna make mistakes out there, and I think the number

20
00:00:44,360 --> 00:00:46,919
Speaker 1: one thing is just amending to that, Like you're you're

21
00:00:46,920 --> 00:00:48,320
Speaker 1: not going to be perfect out there. And you got

22
00:00:48,320 --> 00:00:50,800
Speaker 1: to learn from each mistaken you know, move forward from there.

23
00:00:50,920 --> 00:00:53,240
Speaker 1: What's the you know, what's the biggest been the biggest

24
00:00:53,280 --> 00:00:55,800
Speaker 1: challenge for Is it been the complexity of defense or

25
00:00:55,880 --> 00:00:58,560
Speaker 1: how versatile it is, or the speed of the installation.

26
00:00:58,880 --> 00:01:01,920
Speaker 1: What's been the biggest adjustment? I just learning everything. I

27
00:01:01,960 --> 00:01:04,000
Speaker 1: think that's how it is with every new system that

28
00:01:04,120 --> 00:01:06,200
Speaker 1: someone's in, you know, even in college. You know, it's

29
00:01:06,200 --> 00:01:08,760
Speaker 1: just you gotta get that system down packing. Then you know,

30
00:01:08,800 --> 00:01:10,800
Speaker 1: I think things will start clicking, you know, you start

31
00:01:10,880 --> 00:01:13,680
Speaker 1: playing faster and things that happened that way he train.

32
00:01:13,840 --> 00:01:15,959
Speaker 1: We may have talked to you about this before, but

33
00:01:16,080 --> 00:01:18,400
Speaker 1: can we go back to draft night, first night of

34
00:01:18,480 --> 00:01:21,200
Speaker 1: the draft, first round h the Bills have already made

35
00:01:21,200 --> 00:01:23,520
Speaker 1: a big splashing move moving up to get the quarterback

36
00:01:23,600 --> 00:01:26,720
Speaker 1: Josh Challen, What what where were you and what was

37
00:01:26,760 --> 00:01:28,520
Speaker 1: that night like for you? Were you home and were

38
00:01:28,520 --> 00:01:30,400
Speaker 1: you at Virginia Tech? Were you home in Virginia? Now?

39
00:01:30,400 --> 00:01:32,960
Speaker 1: I was actually at the drive. I was actually at

40
00:01:32,959 --> 00:01:35,040
Speaker 1: the draft and you know, I have my family there

41
00:01:35,080 --> 00:01:36,840
Speaker 1: and you know, it was always having a good time

42
00:01:36,959 --> 00:01:39,720
Speaker 1: just waiting for that call. And uh, the draft went

43
00:01:39,760 --> 00:01:42,280
Speaker 1: down to you know where you came up. You think

44
00:01:42,560 --> 00:01:44,920
Speaker 1: it's coming. My time's coming here soon, midway try. I

45
00:01:44,920 --> 00:01:46,840
Speaker 1: mean I was ready. I was ready for anything. So

46
00:01:47,600 --> 00:01:49,520
Speaker 1: you know, from from the beginning of the drive till

47
00:01:49,640 --> 00:01:51,560
Speaker 1: till I got picked, or to the end of it,

48
00:01:51,640 --> 00:01:53,360
Speaker 1: you know, I was just I was ready, man. I

49
00:01:53,400 --> 00:01:54,960
Speaker 1: was just ready to see what happens and where I

50
00:01:55,040 --> 00:01:56,520
Speaker 1: end up at it. And I can't be more proud

51
00:01:56,560 --> 00:01:58,279
Speaker 1: to be here. What would you think when the Bills

52
00:01:58,320 --> 00:02:00,320
Speaker 1: made that trade? I mean, for a team to trade

53
00:02:00,440 --> 00:02:02,920
Speaker 1: to get to you indicates what they think of you.

54
00:02:03,160 --> 00:02:05,080
Speaker 1: It means a lot to me, you know, just just

55
00:02:05,120 --> 00:02:07,320
Speaker 1: seeing me as that type of player that fit their system.

56
00:02:07,360 --> 00:02:09,400
Speaker 1: And uh, you know, I can't be more thankful for

57
00:02:09,440 --> 00:02:12,080
Speaker 1: the opportunity and take full advantage of it. What your

58
00:02:12,120 --> 00:02:14,840
Speaker 1: dad says a former Dolphin that you were going to Buffalo,

59
00:02:15,560 --> 00:02:17,679
Speaker 1: he was just happy. He didn't bring none of that,

60
00:02:17,960 --> 00:02:20,680
Speaker 1: no former animosity. Again. What he did say, it's a

61
00:02:20,680 --> 00:02:23,400
Speaker 1: tough place to play, but you know, nothing bad about it.

62
00:02:23,400 --> 00:02:26,639
Speaker 1: He was just happy, you know, supporting. Yeah stuff for visitors,

63
00:02:26,639 --> 00:02:29,640
Speaker 1: like he was different for home you guys, this is

64
00:02:29,639 --> 00:02:31,880
Speaker 1: your home field, right man. Ye that's so tough. Oh yeah,

65
00:02:31,960 --> 00:02:34,840
Speaker 1: that's definitely tell me about your brother and are the

66
00:02:34,840 --> 00:02:37,280
Speaker 1: Steelers in mini camp this week as well? I believe

67
00:02:37,280 --> 00:02:39,400
Speaker 1: so talk to him much. Yeah, I talked to him. Yeah,

68
00:02:39,400 --> 00:02:41,160
Speaker 1: they are mini camps every day. Do you talk to him?

69
00:02:41,200 --> 00:02:43,160
Speaker 1: How you reach out? I try to talk to him

70
00:02:43,200 --> 00:02:45,560
Speaker 1: every day, both of my brothers. You know, try to

71
00:02:45,560 --> 00:02:47,600
Speaker 1: say a little something. If it's not long, because I

72
00:02:47,639 --> 00:02:50,000
Speaker 1: know our schedules are kind of different. Maybe shoot him

73
00:02:50,000 --> 00:02:51,800
Speaker 1: a text, you know, not always on the phone with him,

74
00:02:51,880 --> 00:02:54,359
Speaker 1: but maybe just shoot him a text. Here everything going

75
00:02:54,520 --> 00:02:56,440
Speaker 1: and move forward from them? How's it been going off

76
00:02:56,440 --> 00:02:58,679
Speaker 1: the like in the classroom and the film study and

77
00:02:58,960 --> 00:03:01,560
Speaker 1: you be in the you're in the defensive room and

78
00:03:01,600 --> 00:03:03,480
Speaker 1: you're working with the coordinator. I mean, how's that been

79
00:03:03,520 --> 00:03:05,800
Speaker 1: going with the film study? With the groups of the

80
00:03:05,840 --> 00:03:10,520
Speaker 1: position groups? Also the total defensive meetings. Talk talk about

81
00:03:10,560 --> 00:03:13,760
Speaker 1: the atmosphere and the attitude guys of God coming into

82
00:03:13,760 --> 00:03:15,639
Speaker 1: those rooms. Yeah, I think it helps out a lot

83
00:03:15,680 --> 00:03:17,360
Speaker 1: because you know, some of the veteran guys, you know,

84
00:03:17,360 --> 00:03:19,800
Speaker 1: they're doing a whole lot of communication in there, and

85
00:03:20,040 --> 00:03:21,679
Speaker 1: you know, talking about what they see out there on

86
00:03:21,720 --> 00:03:23,840
Speaker 1: the field, and it's good for us young guys to

87
00:03:23,880 --> 00:03:25,920
Speaker 1: hear that. So we could you know, hear it before

88
00:03:25,960 --> 00:03:28,000
Speaker 1: we actually display it out there on the field. We

89
00:03:28,000 --> 00:03:30,519
Speaker 1: can already have a field for it, and just asking

90
00:03:30,560 --> 00:03:32,800
Speaker 1: all our questions in there and getting everything, you know,

91
00:03:32,840 --> 00:03:34,600
Speaker 1: corrected so we could take it to the field. Do

92
00:03:34,680 --> 00:03:36,360
Speaker 1: you feel like you're catching up because these guys are

93
00:03:36,360 --> 00:03:38,520
Speaker 1: you know, they're a year into this system. I mean

94
00:03:38,520 --> 00:03:40,720
Speaker 1: they're not changing too much on a couple of players,

95
00:03:40,960 --> 00:03:42,920
Speaker 1: and there are a couple of veterans who are also,

96
00:03:43,120 --> 00:03:46,280
Speaker 1: like you, brand new into the system. So do you

97
00:03:46,280 --> 00:03:48,320
Speaker 1: feel like you're catching up to those guys? I mean

98
00:03:48,360 --> 00:03:50,640
Speaker 1: that's a long way to go, right, Yeah. I'm just

99
00:03:50,680 --> 00:03:53,200
Speaker 1: trying every day to uh, you know, just study my

100
00:03:53,320 --> 00:03:56,760
Speaker 1: study my material and just control the things that I can.

101
00:03:56,840 --> 00:03:59,119
Speaker 1: And that's just me locking in that playbook and making

102
00:03:59,120 --> 00:04:03,280
Speaker 1: sure I'm doing mysel Tell me about learning your assignments.

103
00:04:03,720 --> 00:04:05,360
Speaker 1: You know, you got here a couple of steeves of

104
00:04:05,440 --> 00:04:08,040
Speaker 1: a couple of weeks after the veterans were here, they

105
00:04:08,080 --> 00:04:10,040
Speaker 1: throw a playbook catch out. How much more work have

106
00:04:10,120 --> 00:04:11,400
Speaker 1: you had to do to kind of get used to

107
00:04:11,400 --> 00:04:14,000
Speaker 1: what's in that playbook and understand what's going on in there.

108
00:04:14,280 --> 00:04:16,919
Speaker 1: You gotta do a lot. You just gotta study study, study,

109
00:04:16,920 --> 00:04:19,080
Speaker 1: and I think that's the number one thing. You know,

110
00:04:19,480 --> 00:04:22,080
Speaker 1: whatever it takes to get that thing down pack. You

111
00:04:22,120 --> 00:04:24,080
Speaker 1: gotta make sure you're doing that. And you know tho's

112
00:04:24,080 --> 00:04:26,160
Speaker 1: different things, but you know, just making sure you get

113
00:04:26,200 --> 00:04:29,000
Speaker 1: that downpack. So a little bit about you know, when

114
00:04:29,080 --> 00:04:31,520
Speaker 1: you got out there. I mean obviously you know you

115
00:04:32,480 --> 00:04:34,440
Speaker 1: when you first got here, how did you find out,

116
00:04:34,480 --> 00:04:36,440
Speaker 1: like listen, you got you're the top guy on the

117
00:04:36,480 --> 00:04:38,800
Speaker 1: depth chart? I mean, how do they tell you, Like,

118
00:04:39,880 --> 00:04:42,240
Speaker 1: how do they communicate with you about the role you're

119
00:04:42,240 --> 00:04:43,840
Speaker 1: gonna play, which seems to be right in the middle

120
00:04:43,839 --> 00:04:46,800
Speaker 1: of everything. I mean, they put everything on your plate.

121
00:04:47,440 --> 00:04:49,280
Speaker 1: How do they tell you that? How what they say?

122
00:04:50,080 --> 00:04:51,800
Speaker 1: I mean, it's kind of just you know, just keep

123
00:04:51,839 --> 00:04:53,839
Speaker 1: stressing the fact that I got to communicate out there,

124
00:04:53,839 --> 00:04:56,480
Speaker 1: and you know, I'm I'm you know, I'm in the middle.

125
00:04:56,560 --> 00:04:58,680
Speaker 1: So I gotta make sure I'm communicating out there to

126
00:04:58,720 --> 00:05:01,320
Speaker 1: the whole defense. And you know, they tell all the guys,

127
00:05:01,360 --> 00:05:03,280
Speaker 1: make sure you're doing your assignment. That's the one thing

128
00:05:03,279 --> 00:05:05,480
Speaker 1: they told me as well, So making sure I'll do

129
00:05:05,480 --> 00:05:07,560
Speaker 1: that and making sure I'll get the job done. So

130
00:05:08,440 --> 00:05:11,160
Speaker 1: you're calling defenses and you're learning the playbook and they

131
00:05:11,279 --> 00:05:13,520
Speaker 1: send a defense in and you basically have to repeat

132
00:05:13,520 --> 00:05:15,760
Speaker 1: it to everybody, right, defensive aut all. Yeah, but what

133
00:05:15,839 --> 00:05:17,760
Speaker 1: about other than that? I mean, do you are you

134
00:05:17,800 --> 00:05:20,000
Speaker 1: at the point now where you can notice things and say,

135
00:05:20,120 --> 00:05:22,599
Speaker 1: hey shade this way, or hey take a half step

136
00:05:22,600 --> 00:05:24,800
Speaker 1: back or something. Well, that takes some time to get

137
00:05:24,800 --> 00:05:27,320
Speaker 1: to that level of your understanding of the defenses. You

138
00:05:27,320 --> 00:05:29,720
Speaker 1: start moving guys around a little bit. Yeah, definitely. Uh,

139
00:05:29,800 --> 00:05:32,120
Speaker 1: you know, I got I got some things down, you know,

140
00:05:32,200 --> 00:05:34,080
Speaker 1: just trying to take a step every day, you know,

141
00:05:34,120 --> 00:05:36,159
Speaker 1: getting those type of things downpack, you know, so I

142
00:05:36,160 --> 00:05:39,120
Speaker 1: can start recognizing and just reacting. But you know, like

143
00:05:39,160 --> 00:05:42,479
Speaker 1: I said, I'm I'm getting I'm understanding the defense more

144
00:05:42,560 --> 00:05:44,680
Speaker 1: every day, and I think that's gonna be a big

145
00:05:44,720 --> 00:05:47,240
Speaker 1: thing for me. You are twenty years old, right, yeah, Um,

146
00:05:47,360 --> 00:05:50,280
Speaker 1: you're playing with you know, Lorenzo, Alexander, Kyle Williams or

147
00:05:50,360 --> 00:05:53,160
Speaker 1: fifteen years older than you. Yeah, any hesitation at all,

148
00:05:53,320 --> 00:05:55,280
Speaker 1: kind of moving them around, telling them what you see,

149
00:05:55,320 --> 00:05:58,400
Speaker 1: what you what you sense, what you think people should do, No, sir,

150
00:05:58,560 --> 00:06:00,720
Speaker 1: I mean in this game, you gotta be firm and

151
00:06:00,800 --> 00:06:02,919
Speaker 1: what you say, and once you make a decision, you

152
00:06:02,920 --> 00:06:05,000
Speaker 1: just gotta go with it. And so you know that's

153
00:06:05,000 --> 00:06:07,240
Speaker 1: what I'm doing out there. I've a lot back on

154
00:06:07,279 --> 00:06:09,920
Speaker 1: those guys for help, dough and advice while I'm out there.

155
00:06:09,960 --> 00:06:12,000
Speaker 1: So they've done a good job with that, and I

156
00:06:12,040 --> 00:06:14,560
Speaker 1: can't think them enough. We asked Josh Allen, I said, listen,

157
00:06:14,560 --> 00:06:16,920
Speaker 1: after this week, you know, you're kind of they kind

158
00:06:16,920 --> 00:06:18,719
Speaker 1: of shoot you out of the building for like six

159
00:06:18,720 --> 00:06:20,839
Speaker 1: weeks until your training camp. Are you kind of anxious

160
00:06:20,839 --> 00:06:22,760
Speaker 1: for making maybe take a deep breath, say I'm ready

161
00:06:22,760 --> 00:06:25,320
Speaker 1: to sit down and kick back for just a minute.

162
00:06:25,320 --> 00:06:27,080
Speaker 1: I mean, what's your plans on for this next six

163
00:06:27,120 --> 00:06:29,080
Speaker 1: weeks after this week is over? To get out of

164
00:06:29,080 --> 00:06:31,600
Speaker 1: this building, go back and start training, you know, continue

165
00:06:31,680 --> 00:06:33,080
Speaker 1: to stay in shape. What I mean, are you kind

166
00:06:33,080 --> 00:06:35,520
Speaker 1: of ready for that? I mean, I think I think

167
00:06:35,560 --> 00:06:37,279
Speaker 1: we all kind of know it's not really a break.

168
00:06:37,360 --> 00:06:38,960
Speaker 1: I mean, it's a break, but at the same time,

169
00:06:39,000 --> 00:06:41,520
Speaker 1: you gotta be locked in and because when it comes back,

170
00:06:41,560 --> 00:06:43,599
Speaker 1: it's go time and got to make sure you have

171
00:06:43,640 --> 00:06:45,719
Speaker 1: everything down pack. And I think that's gonna be a

172
00:06:45,720 --> 00:06:47,840
Speaker 1: lot of this break, just me making sure I get

173
00:06:47,880 --> 00:06:49,960
Speaker 1: back in that book, you know, stand in shaping things

174
00:06:50,000 --> 00:06:52,200
Speaker 1: like that, you know, training with my brothers. I think

175
00:06:52,240 --> 00:06:53,720
Speaker 1: that's gonna be a big help for me because we

176
00:06:53,720 --> 00:06:56,160
Speaker 1: could both we could all talk about how we view

177
00:06:56,200 --> 00:06:58,480
Speaker 1: the game and from offensive side and defensive side. It's

178
00:06:58,480 --> 00:07:03,440
Speaker 1: a break, It's not a break exactly. Tremaine, you your players,

179
00:07:04,279 --> 00:07:06,680
Speaker 1: You know, you got teammates noticing that we had Lorenzo

180
00:07:07,040 --> 00:07:08,479
Speaker 1: here on the set a couple of weeks ago. And

181
00:07:08,520 --> 00:07:10,560
Speaker 1: he said, I don't know if you've heard this or not.

182
00:07:10,680 --> 00:07:13,880
Speaker 1: He said, Tremaine is gonna be all pro performer in

183
00:07:13,880 --> 00:07:17,560
Speaker 1: a couple of years. Um. Whyatt Teller College teammate of

184
00:07:17,680 --> 00:07:20,400
Speaker 1: yours from Virginia Tech on our show just last week,

185
00:07:20,760 --> 00:07:22,800
Speaker 1: said something to the effect that I said to him,

186
00:07:23,400 --> 00:07:25,840
Speaker 1: you know, how did you know that at Virginia Tech

187
00:07:25,880 --> 00:07:27,320
Speaker 1: that termine is going to be good? And he said

188
00:07:27,600 --> 00:07:30,360
Speaker 1: just look at him. What do you think when you

189
00:07:30,480 --> 00:07:32,920
Speaker 1: got teammates noticing your play and how do you look

190
00:07:33,000 --> 00:07:34,760
Speaker 1: and what you've done out here? So I aren't a

191
00:07:34,800 --> 00:07:37,840
Speaker 1: very short time. I appreciate it, you know, but I

192
00:07:37,920 --> 00:07:41,600
Speaker 1: have a lot more room for improvement, and you know,

193
00:07:41,720 --> 00:07:43,560
Speaker 1: things that I have to get better with, you know,

194
00:07:43,600 --> 00:07:46,280
Speaker 1: assignments that I have to get down and so you know,

195
00:07:46,320 --> 00:07:48,760
Speaker 1: in order for this team, you know, to take the

196
00:07:48,800 --> 00:07:51,360
Speaker 1: next step. It's just gonna be about everybody just out there,

197
00:07:51,400 --> 00:07:54,400
Speaker 1: you know, communicating everybody out there playing is one and

198
00:07:54,680 --> 00:07:57,680
Speaker 1: that's gonna be my my my responsibility for myself to

199
00:07:57,840 --> 00:08:00,200
Speaker 1: making sure I have my assignment down. Okay, all the

200
00:08:00,200 --> 00:08:02,200
Speaker 1: stuff that you've been through, all the drills and all

201
00:08:02,240 --> 00:08:05,040
Speaker 1: the stuff. Now the eleven on eleven you're watching who

202
00:08:05,080 --> 00:08:10,360
Speaker 1: have you noticed from just offense and defense? Who's out

203
00:08:10,400 --> 00:08:11,760
Speaker 1: there and say, Wow, that guy's a really good play.

204
00:08:11,800 --> 00:08:13,360
Speaker 1: I'm like, who have you noticed for their abilities? And

205
00:08:13,360 --> 00:08:15,040
Speaker 1: they're they're you know, like like wow, I never saw

206
00:08:15,080 --> 00:08:17,960
Speaker 1: anybody like this Virginia Tech. That kind of thing. Well,

207
00:08:18,000 --> 00:08:20,800
Speaker 1: for me right now, it's just it's kind of everybody. Honestly,

208
00:08:20,840 --> 00:08:23,320
Speaker 1: it's just you know, just me trying to I'm kind

209
00:08:23,320 --> 00:08:25,600
Speaker 1: of locked down on my assignment right now, so you know,

210
00:08:25,640 --> 00:08:27,400
Speaker 1: I see a lot of guys out there making big

211
00:08:27,440 --> 00:08:30,000
Speaker 1: plays and and things like that from both sides. So

212
00:08:30,640 --> 00:08:32,120
Speaker 1: it's kind of hard for me to just you know,

213
00:08:32,800 --> 00:08:35,120
Speaker 1: give you a couple of names. But it's it's it's

214
00:08:35,160 --> 00:08:36,719
Speaker 1: it's a lot of them out there that's doing good.

215
00:08:36,840 --> 00:08:38,839
Speaker 1: We talked about locking down to your assignments. Where did

216
00:08:38,840 --> 00:08:40,480
Speaker 1: you learn to do that? When did you start doing that?

217
00:08:40,559 --> 00:08:43,079
Speaker 1: To be that serious and that focus on what was

218
00:08:43,120 --> 00:08:45,600
Speaker 1: being asked of you. I think at a young age

219
00:08:46,160 --> 00:08:47,840
Speaker 1: both of my parents did a good job with that

220
00:08:47,880 --> 00:08:51,079
Speaker 1: and just always kept our heads on straight. Uh. Just

221
00:08:51,280 --> 00:08:53,199
Speaker 1: speaking of my dad since he played in the league,

222
00:08:53,200 --> 00:08:54,880
Speaker 1: just just taught me at a young age what it

223
00:08:54,920 --> 00:08:57,439
Speaker 1: took to be successful. And he was my coach in

224
00:08:57,559 --> 00:09:00,600
Speaker 1: high school. So it'll be several times when I wanted

225
00:09:00,600 --> 00:09:03,200
Speaker 1: to do other things, but he said, no, we're about

226
00:09:03,200 --> 00:09:05,840
Speaker 1: to watch film. So it's it's it's I learned at

227
00:09:05,840 --> 00:09:08,880
Speaker 1: a young age that. I mean, you gotta sacrifice sometimes,

228
00:09:08,880 --> 00:09:11,280
Speaker 1: and you know that's the number one thing just to

229
00:09:11,360 --> 00:09:13,319
Speaker 1: make sure you focus. You think when you get playing

230
00:09:13,360 --> 00:09:16,680
Speaker 1: here regular season, I guess, or maybe in preseason, will

231
00:09:16,760 --> 00:09:19,199
Speaker 1: you will your dead can watch film now, right, but

232
00:09:19,280 --> 00:09:21,320
Speaker 1: you can all get film all twenty two film? You

233
00:09:21,320 --> 00:09:23,400
Speaker 1: think you'll compare notes with him? What did you see here?

234
00:09:23,480 --> 00:09:25,480
Speaker 1: What did you see there? I mean, he'd be valuable resources.

235
00:09:25,640 --> 00:09:27,520
Speaker 1: I'm pretty sure. I'm pretty sure he's always gonna have

236
00:09:27,600 --> 00:09:29,640
Speaker 1: something to say after my game, just like in college.

237
00:09:29,679 --> 00:09:32,600
Speaker 1: But it's only to my benefit, Like it's gonna help

238
00:09:32,640 --> 00:09:35,240
Speaker 1: me out. Just sin what he sees because he played

239
00:09:35,280 --> 00:09:38,120
Speaker 1: tight end, so sin what he sees from offensive perspective,

240
00:09:38,360 --> 00:09:40,160
Speaker 1: so I can apply to my game. So I'm pretty

241
00:09:40,160 --> 00:09:42,679
Speaker 1: sure we'll be talking. What's your family gonna do on

242
00:09:42,840 --> 00:09:45,080
Speaker 1: game days? And you got a brother playing in Pittsburgh

243
00:09:45,160 --> 00:09:47,160
Speaker 1: and your brother's at the Saints. Yes, sir, what a

244
00:09:47,160 --> 00:09:49,280
Speaker 1: they're gonna do? They can split out, the figure it

245
00:09:49,280 --> 00:09:51,280
Speaker 1: They figure it out. They've been figuring it out my

246
00:09:51,360 --> 00:09:54,680
Speaker 1: whole life. So you're three different spots. Now, Hey, I

247
00:09:54,760 --> 00:09:57,120
Speaker 1: know they're gonna do whatever it says. They always have

248
00:09:57,200 --> 00:09:59,720
Speaker 1: a plan for. So is there like, tell me about

249
00:09:59,720 --> 00:10:02,640
Speaker 1: the val or the competition between you and your brothers?

250
00:10:02,640 --> 00:10:04,280
Speaker 1: I mean, you're all playing in the league now, I

251
00:10:04,320 --> 00:10:07,120
Speaker 1: mean you, I mean you gotta like compare, like you

252
00:10:07,200 --> 00:10:09,800
Speaker 1: got to measure yourself against your brothers. How they're doing

253
00:10:09,840 --> 00:10:11,440
Speaker 1: what they're doing. Is there any of the going on?

254
00:10:11,480 --> 00:10:14,640
Speaker 1: Do you guys get together Thanksgiving dinner and say I

255
00:10:14,679 --> 00:10:17,880
Speaker 1: had a better year than you did? I mean, I don't.

256
00:10:17,880 --> 00:10:20,080
Speaker 1: I don't know what's gonna happen this year, because you know,

257
00:10:20,160 --> 00:10:21,880
Speaker 1: this being our first year we all in the league,

258
00:10:21,880 --> 00:10:23,320
Speaker 1: So I'm not sure what's gonna happen. I know it's

259
00:10:23,320 --> 00:10:25,520
Speaker 1: gonna be a little bit of junk talking, a little

260
00:10:25,559 --> 00:10:28,040
Speaker 1: bit reflecting on you know, what we've been through, and uh,

261
00:10:28,160 --> 00:10:30,000
Speaker 1: you know you're out on the driveway playing hoops against

262
00:10:30,040 --> 00:10:32,400
Speaker 1: each other, you're gonna be talking a lot of Oh yeah,

263
00:10:32,400 --> 00:10:35,760
Speaker 1: were always talking to right. They trained a couple of

264
00:10:35,800 --> 00:10:38,360
Speaker 1: years ago, the Gronkowskis. You know, Rob had two other

265
00:10:38,440 --> 00:10:40,600
Speaker 1: brothers playing in the league. Chris was playing in the league,

266
00:10:40,640 --> 00:10:43,240
Speaker 1: and Danny was playing in the league, all three at once.

267
00:10:43,679 --> 00:10:45,959
Speaker 1: And I recalled talking to him they grew up around here.

268
00:10:46,280 --> 00:10:48,000
Speaker 1: Uh did you guys anticiate? I said to him, did

269
00:10:48,040 --> 00:10:50,680
Speaker 1: you guys anticipate this? Whatever happened? And they're like, oh, yeah,

270
00:10:50,679 --> 00:10:52,800
Speaker 1: this was the plan all along. Was this the plan

271
00:10:52,840 --> 00:10:54,720
Speaker 1: in the Edmunds family to have you and your brothers

272
00:10:54,720 --> 00:10:57,000
Speaker 1: in the NFL at the same time. I would say

273
00:10:57,040 --> 00:10:58,679
Speaker 1: it was definitely a plan to have us all playing

274
00:10:58,720 --> 00:11:02,320
Speaker 1: professional ball, whatever it was, because growing up we all

275
00:11:02,360 --> 00:11:06,120
Speaker 1: played multiple sports, so you can choose NBA even yeah,

276
00:11:06,280 --> 00:11:08,480
Speaker 1: we never you know, you can't really tell what the

277
00:11:08,480 --> 00:11:10,760
Speaker 1: other brothers thinking, So you don't know if one wants

278
00:11:10,800 --> 00:11:12,480
Speaker 1: to be a basketball player, one wants to be a

279
00:11:12,480 --> 00:11:14,559
Speaker 1: football player. But like I said, we all played all

280
00:11:14,559 --> 00:11:17,520
Speaker 1: those sports. We all we all did a lot growing up,

281
00:11:17,559 --> 00:11:20,000
Speaker 1: so we all wanted to play professional ball. So whatever

282
00:11:20,040 --> 00:11:22,040
Speaker 1: that was, that was, that's always been a plan. What

283
00:11:22,080 --> 00:11:23,480
Speaker 1: do you when you think you got something out of

284
00:11:23,480 --> 00:11:26,000
Speaker 1: playing multiple sports? I always thought as well. I mean

285
00:11:26,040 --> 00:11:28,680
Speaker 1: I thought it's crazy to have eight year old kids

286
00:11:28,800 --> 00:11:31,160
Speaker 1: choose one sport and not play anything else. And yeah,

287
00:11:31,240 --> 00:11:33,839
Speaker 1: do you agree with that or would you have been

288
00:11:33,920 --> 00:11:36,760
Speaker 1: better off better served as maybe picking just football at

289
00:11:36,800 --> 00:11:39,000
Speaker 1: eight years old never playing anything else. Now I think

290
00:11:39,000 --> 00:11:41,560
Speaker 1: it's good, just just my perspective, but I think it's

291
00:11:41,600 --> 00:11:44,559
Speaker 1: good playing multiple sports just because you don't know if

292
00:11:44,800 --> 00:11:46,920
Speaker 1: like what those other sports have the offer. So if

293
00:11:46,920 --> 00:11:49,720
Speaker 1: you just settle yourself to play one sport, then I

294
00:11:49,760 --> 00:11:52,240
Speaker 1: mean you're missing out on maybe what may be an

295
00:11:52,240 --> 00:11:55,160
Speaker 1: opportunity for yourself. And uh, I say, from there you

296
00:11:55,160 --> 00:11:57,000
Speaker 1: can kind of pick and choose which one you want

297
00:11:57,000 --> 00:11:58,640
Speaker 1: to play and which one you think you have successful

298
00:11:58,679 --> 00:12:00,800
Speaker 1: not to try a lot of them, right too. Yeah,

299
00:12:00,840 --> 00:12:04,160
Speaker 1: I want to ask you a question about yourself as

300
00:12:04,200 --> 00:12:06,360
Speaker 1: a player. And I know you're gonna want to say

301
00:12:06,400 --> 00:12:08,440
Speaker 1: I gotta get better. I understand that, but right Now,

302
00:12:08,480 --> 00:12:10,360
Speaker 1: what's the best thing you think you do? What's the

303
00:12:10,920 --> 00:12:13,600
Speaker 1: biggest thing that you provide the Buffalo bills right now?

304
00:12:13,640 --> 00:12:15,480
Speaker 1: In fart as your skill set, what do you do well?

305
00:12:16,400 --> 00:12:19,200
Speaker 1: I think I'm a tall guy that can ben you know,

306
00:12:19,400 --> 00:12:21,960
