00:01:00,040 --> 00:01:02,200
Speaker 1: like you said, great man, things like that. But Ivan.

22
00:01:02,320 --> 00:01:05,080
Speaker 1: I think he's or Vinny. He's doing a great job

23
00:01:05,360 --> 00:01:09,720
Speaker 1: taking you know, things from Ivan, I believe, and trying

24
00:01:09,720 --> 00:01:11,640
Speaker 1: to teach us the way Ivan would teach us things

25
00:01:11,640 --> 00:01:13,600
Speaker 1: like that. So I think it's a great, great situation

26
00:01:16,400 --> 00:01:19,759
Speaker 1: last year. Yeah, not really like the same not teaching

27
00:01:19,760 --> 00:01:23,080
Speaker 1: the same things, but just like he's presented to us

28
00:01:23,080 --> 00:01:26,200
Speaker 1: the same way as Ivan would. Um. I know since

29
00:01:26,280 --> 00:01:29,000
Speaker 1: James announce just retirement, a lot of his teammates just

30
00:01:29,080 --> 00:01:32,240
Speaker 1: talked about him on and off the field. One particularly

31
00:01:32,400 --> 00:01:34,960
Speaker 1: was mentioned he had an influence on was you and

32
00:01:35,080 --> 00:01:41,319
Speaker 1: he spoke about that during the game the other night. Uh,

33
00:01:42,200 --> 00:01:44,240
Speaker 1: that's just that's just like a big brother to me

34
00:01:44,400 --> 00:01:46,759
Speaker 1: and a lot of the other guys. So he just

35
00:01:47,360 --> 00:01:49,680
Speaker 1: whether it was football or not, it was just like

36
00:01:49,760 --> 00:01:52,520
Speaker 1: he was like a positive voice in my head, just

37
00:01:53,120 --> 00:01:55,080
Speaker 1: how to make it in the NFL, What what I'm

38
00:01:55,080 --> 00:01:56,720
Speaker 1: gonna go through? Things like that. So he was just

39
00:01:57,360 --> 00:01:58,800
Speaker 1: I can't even break it down. He was just like

40
00:01:58,800 --> 00:02:01,000
Speaker 1: an overall like big brother to me and a lot

41
00:02:01,040 --> 00:02:03,880
Speaker 1: of other players on the team in general too. Is

42
00:02:04,240 --> 00:02:08,240
Speaker 1: this positivity despite what he was going through? Oh yeah

43
00:02:08,320 --> 00:02:11,440
Speaker 1: he was. He was always positive. You know, he was injured,

44
00:02:11,440 --> 00:02:13,120
Speaker 1: he hasn't been injured much in his career, so it

45
00:02:13,160 --> 00:02:15,880
Speaker 1: was new to him. So but he took it very

46
00:02:15,919 --> 00:02:18,600
Speaker 1: well in my eyes. And you know, he's just he's

47
00:02:18,600 --> 00:02:22,080
Speaker 1: just a real pro. Pros pro to have time to

48
00:02:22,080 --> 00:02:29,400
Speaker 1: get them outside of so you hear team, Oh yeah,

49
00:02:29,440 --> 00:02:31,520
Speaker 1: I mean we're here to get better in practice and

50
00:02:31,600 --> 00:02:34,440
Speaker 1: for the joint practice. But I'll say it's a good time.

51
00:02:34,480 --> 00:02:36,560
Speaker 1: We don't we don't have much time. But the time

52
00:02:36,600 --> 00:02:39,320
Speaker 1: we do have where chill, you know, getting some camaraderie

53
00:02:39,400 --> 00:02:43,239
Speaker 1: between us all. Can you get accustomed to playing in

54
00:02:43,320 --> 00:02:45,840
Speaker 1: the heat that you're from around here? You guys played

55
00:02:45,840 --> 00:02:48,120
Speaker 1: the first week down of Miami. It's gonna be hot there, right,

56
00:02:48,440 --> 00:02:50,919
Speaker 1: Does this help? Yeah, you're gone two weeks around. I

57
00:02:50,960 --> 00:02:53,240
Speaker 1: think it's a good preparation, just getting out in the sun.

58
00:02:53,280 --> 00:02:55,359
Speaker 1: It's a little hotter than than it is in Boston,

59
00:02:55,400 --> 00:02:57,440
Speaker 1: things like that, So I think it's it's a step.

60
00:02:57,480 --> 00:02:59,679
Speaker 1: But when you're getting that heat for it is just

61
00:02:59,800 --> 00:03:03,800
Speaker 1: some you got to deal with. Yeah, when you were

62
00:03:03,800 --> 00:03:07,240
Speaker 1: a player at Centennial, what kind of player were you?

63
00:03:07,320 --> 00:03:08,880
Speaker 1: For those of us who didn't follow your high school

64
00:03:08,919 --> 00:03:10,480
Speaker 1: cramming where you're doing all the same stuff, you're doing

65
00:03:10,480 --> 00:03:13,440
Speaker 1: now we're playing different positions. What was who was reminding

66
00:03:13,520 --> 00:03:15,960
Speaker 1: Stevenson as a high school the senior set, I was

67
00:03:16,000 --> 00:03:18,160
Speaker 1: doing mostly the same things. I was playing running back,

68
00:03:18,200 --> 00:03:20,240
Speaker 1: but I actually played a little bit of dB back

69
00:03:20,240 --> 00:03:24,560
Speaker 1: then too, so uh so yeah, basically, uh, most of

70
00:03:24,600 --> 00:03:28,519
Speaker 1: the same stuff but a little differences. How was the

71
00:03:28,639 --> 00:03:31,000
Speaker 1: past catching part of it going? We talked with you

72
00:03:31,200 --> 00:03:33,760
Speaker 1: really all summer about it, off and on. There was

73
00:03:33,800 --> 00:03:36,560
Speaker 1: one play where in the preseason game where Macott looked

74
00:03:36,560 --> 00:03:38,760
Speaker 1: like targeted you, but I don't know if you saw

75
00:03:38,800 --> 00:03:40,200
Speaker 1: the ball coming at you looking at the time. It

76
00:03:40,320 --> 00:03:42,040
Speaker 1: was maybe a little bit of hot details what happened

77
00:03:42,040 --> 00:03:44,920
Speaker 1: on that particular, but yeah, it was just we weren't

78
00:03:44,920 --> 00:03:48,520
Speaker 1: on the same page, uh entirely, But you know we're

79
00:03:48,520 --> 00:03:53,600
