9
00:00:24,040 --> 00:00:26,480

10
00:00:26,520 --> 00:00:29,639

00:00:45,680 --> 00:00:47,519
Speaker 1: You know, we haven't been on the road yet. We

18
00:00:47,600 --> 00:00:50,879
Speaker 1: haven't you know, traveled anywhere to to you know, be

19
00:00:50,920 --> 00:00:54,120
Speaker 1: away from home, so we've always had these conveniences of

20
00:00:54,200 --> 00:00:57,400
Speaker 1: being in our own environment. But uh, yeah, it's always

21
00:00:57,440 --> 00:00:59,600
Speaker 1: it's just it's a nice learning tool, you know, to

22
00:00:59,640 --> 00:01:03,200
Speaker 1: get get away from this. This stadium and uh, you

23
00:01:03,240 --> 00:01:05,080
Speaker 1: know see how we travel and you know, we just

24
00:01:05,120 --> 00:01:07,000
Speaker 1: gotta got a lot of work to do. We just

25
00:01:07,000 --> 00:01:09,520
Speaker 1: gotta keep you know, going out there and doing what's

26
00:01:09,560 --> 00:01:12,000
Speaker 1: best for us as individuals and what's best for the

27
00:01:12,040 --> 00:01:14,200
Speaker 1: whole team. When you've had that running game, you've worked

28
00:01:14,200 --> 00:01:16,640
Speaker 1: with Nate sold it the last couple of years obviously, Um,

29
00:01:16,720 --> 00:01:19,720
Speaker 1: what's like working with trimp around on on that side? Now, Oh,

30
00:01:19,760 --> 00:01:21,840
Speaker 1: he's a great player. You know, he's uh, you know,

31
00:01:21,840 --> 00:01:25,120
Speaker 1: he's out there working really really hard to to you know,

32
00:01:25,160 --> 00:01:27,399
Speaker 1: do everything that the coaches ask of him, and and

33
00:01:27,560 --> 00:01:29,640
Speaker 1: that's all we can really ask and the guys, Uh

34
00:01:29,920 --> 00:01:32,280
Speaker 1: is really putting his best foot forward. And you know

35
00:01:32,319 --> 00:01:34,400
Speaker 1: he's a he's a big body over there, and when

36
00:01:34,440 --> 00:01:37,600
Speaker 1: he gets going, he gets guys going with him. So, um,

37
00:01:37,640 --> 00:01:39,360
Speaker 1: you know, it's it's fun to see that kind of

38
00:01:39,520 --> 00:01:42,440
Speaker 1: that's kind of success. And so looking forward to just

39
00:01:42,680 --> 00:01:45,280
Speaker 1: you know, him growing as a player and be unable

40
00:01:45,319 --> 00:01:48,120
Speaker 1: to run to his side as one of the veteran

41
00:01:48,160 --> 00:01:49,560
Speaker 1: guys on this team, do you feel like it's kind

42
00:01:49,600 --> 00:01:51,680
Speaker 1: of built into your job description a little bit to

43
00:01:51,720 --> 00:01:53,520
Speaker 1: just kind of be a listening year or gives him

44
00:01:53,520 --> 00:01:55,400
Speaker 1: advice to some of the younger guys or new guys

45
00:01:55,400 --> 00:01:58,760
Speaker 1: on the team. Absolutely, you know, I think, uh it's

46
00:01:58,760 --> 00:02:00,760
Speaker 1: it's always kind of funny when people were in front

47
00:02:00,760 --> 00:02:02,240
Speaker 1: of me as a bet because I never really feel

48
00:02:02,280 --> 00:02:05,000
Speaker 1: myself in that light, you know. But uh um, yeah,

49
00:02:05,080 --> 00:02:07,680
Speaker 1: I mean any guy that wants to talk or or

50
00:02:07,880 --> 00:02:12,160
Speaker 1: you know, just really about anything, life, football, whatever. Um,

51
00:02:12,240 --> 00:02:14,400
Speaker 1: you know, I'm always here to listen to them and

52
00:02:15,000 --> 00:02:16,720
Speaker 1: you know, give them a little tidbits that I've picked

53
00:02:16,760 --> 00:02:19,160
Speaker 1: up in my years here, and so you know, that's

54
00:02:19,240 --> 00:02:21,040
Speaker 1: that's what it's all about, you know, trying to pass

55
00:02:21,160 --> 00:02:23,640
Speaker 1: you know, things that you've find from a guy that

56
00:02:23,680 --> 00:02:26,240
Speaker 1: you played with, you know, years back, and um, you

57
00:02:26,280 --> 00:02:29,040
Speaker 1: know that's what the whole thing's all about. You've worked

58
00:02:29,040 --> 00:02:31,280
Speaker 1: with a lot of running backs through those years here.

59
00:02:31,560 --> 00:02:33,320
Speaker 1: What does it take for a running back to make

60
00:02:33,320 --> 00:02:34,800
Speaker 1: this team because there's a lot of guys you know

61
00:02:34,840 --> 00:02:37,160
Speaker 1: fighting for a spot here. Yeah, I mean it just

62
00:02:37,200 --> 00:02:40,079
Speaker 1: really takes you know, attention to detail, and I'm doing

63
00:02:40,120 --> 00:02:41,959
Speaker 1: with the coaches ask of you. You know, that's that's

64
00:02:42,040 --> 00:02:44,120
Speaker 1: all what we're trying to do here. And it doesn't

65
00:02:44,120 --> 00:02:47,200
Speaker 1: matter if you're a running back, a tight end, a kicker,

66
00:02:47,280 --> 00:02:48,880
Speaker 1: It doesn't matter, you know, you just gotta go out

67
00:02:48,880 --> 00:02:51,400
Speaker 1: there and and you know, try to put your best

68
00:02:51,400 --> 00:02:53,560
Speaker 1: performance on the field every single day. And that's what

69
00:02:53,639 --> 00:02:56,200
Speaker 1: we're all out here trying to ask. Camps progressed. Have

70
00:02:56,240 --> 00:02:58,080
Speaker 1: you seen guys kind of pick up on that attention

71
00:02:58,080 --> 00:03:00,480
Speaker 1: to detail that maybe they didn't have before. Yeah, you know,

72
00:03:00,520 --> 00:03:02,280
Speaker 1: I think we always stressed that here. You know, from

73
00:03:02,360 --> 00:03:05,320
Speaker 1: day one. It's it's not really any different whether it's

74
00:03:05,680 --> 00:03:08,840
Speaker 1: you know, week sixteen or we first day in pat

75
00:03:08,919 --> 00:03:11,400
Speaker 1: You know, it's always that kind of attention to detail

76
00:03:11,480 --> 00:03:14,320
Speaker 1: that we're looking for, and you know, we understand that

77
00:03:14,320 --> 00:03:16,080
