1
00:00:00,680 --> 00:00:05,040
Speaker 1: Think about joining m I mean, look, it looks a

2
00:00:05,440 --> 00:00:07,120
Speaker 1: peason right now. I might have to you know, we

3
00:00:07,240 --> 00:00:08,920
Speaker 1: might jump the gate. We'll get a little one man.

4
00:00:09,240 --> 00:00:11,760
Speaker 1: How was the practice today, y'all? I was listening compared

5
00:00:11,800 --> 00:00:14,360
Speaker 1: to them, A good one. Up to what's to come.

6
00:00:14,440 --> 00:00:15,920
Speaker 1: You know, we got a lot of hot games this year.

7
00:00:16,000 --> 00:00:17,959
Speaker 1: So I'm excited to come out here and try to

8
00:00:18,000 --> 00:00:20,000
Speaker 1: like get ahead start on what it's gonna be like.

9
00:00:20,040 --> 00:00:22,600
Speaker 1: So I definitely think, I mean, I enjoyed the opportunity.

10
00:00:22,760 --> 00:00:24,920
Speaker 1: It's different, you know what I mean. So I'm excited

11
00:00:24,920 --> 00:00:30,000
Speaker 1: to be here, enjoy the Uh, some days they're great,

12
00:00:30,000 --> 00:00:31,760
Speaker 1: some days they're not as great. You know, some days

13
00:00:31,920 --> 00:00:34,200
Speaker 1: guys want the fights. But I mean when you really

14
00:00:34,200 --> 00:00:35,839
Speaker 1: take the workout of it, you get better in it,

15
00:00:35,920 --> 00:00:37,000
Speaker 1: you know what I mean. So you put all the

16
00:00:37,000 --> 00:00:39,559
Speaker 1: negative aside. It's a lot of great opportunities for God

17
00:00:39,600 --> 00:00:41,639
Speaker 1: to get filmed with other teams and guys just get

18
00:00:41,680 --> 00:00:47,680
Speaker 1: better going against good competition. Son. Uh, yeah, that's the plan.

19
00:00:47,760 --> 00:00:49,879
Speaker 1: But it's grown in football and emotions. You know, that's

20
00:00:49,880 --> 00:00:52,600
Speaker 1: a that's a dangerous combination. You know. How do you

21
00:00:52,680 --> 00:00:58,160
Speaker 1: think the top offense felt to you in that preseason

22
00:00:58,200 --> 00:00:59,840
Speaker 1: game the other Now you guys had a chance to

23
00:00:59,840 --> 00:01:04,000
Speaker 1: get several series together, how did it feel. I mean,

24
00:01:04,040 --> 00:01:05,800
Speaker 1: we're just trying to get our feetback in under. You know,

25
00:01:05,880 --> 00:01:07,680
Speaker 1: we had a lot of practice reps of when you

26
00:01:07,720 --> 00:01:09,720
Speaker 1: get in that game, it's completely different for anybody. So

27
00:01:10,120 --> 00:01:12,080
Speaker 1: I'm happy we finally got that chance to see us

28
00:01:12,080 --> 00:01:13,760
Speaker 1: in the offense and where we fit in. And now

29
00:01:13,760 --> 00:01:15,080
Speaker 1: we got a lot of tape to work off of,

30
00:01:15,200 --> 00:01:17,680
Speaker 1: so I'm excited to push forward going off of that tape.

31
00:01:18,080 --> 00:01:21,280
Speaker 1: Ask you and others about the changes to the offense

32
00:01:21,520 --> 00:01:23,880
Speaker 1: in summer. Does it feel like some of those are

33
00:01:24,280 --> 00:01:26,320
Speaker 1: are starting to smooth out a little bit? Or is

34
00:01:26,319 --> 00:01:29,200
Speaker 1: there still an acclimation process happening here? I would say

35
00:01:29,200 --> 00:01:31,800
Speaker 1: both honestly, because I mean, like I said, change is

36
00:01:31,800 --> 00:01:33,319
Speaker 1: gonna be it's gonna take some getting used to. But

37
00:01:33,319 --> 00:01:35,560
Speaker 1: now that we're getting those live reps as a as

38
00:01:35,560 --> 00:01:38,039
Speaker 1: a first offense and guy's really been in there and

39
00:01:38,040 --> 00:01:39,640
Speaker 1: seeing what it's like, seeing where they fit in, I

40
00:01:39,680 --> 00:01:41,720
Speaker 1: feel like it's definitely helping and just smoothing out what

41
00:01:41,760 --> 00:01:46,160
Speaker 1: they said. Is there any more urgency now given that

42
00:01:46,240 --> 00:01:47,880
Speaker 1: week one, it's just a couple of weeks away. Is

43
00:01:47,920 --> 00:01:50,800
Speaker 1: there is there a sense of Okay, we gotta start

44
00:01:50,840 --> 00:01:54,200
Speaker 1: to smooth out at a quicker pace here because our

45
00:01:54,200 --> 00:01:56,520
Speaker 1: first gep Real beating coming up urgency. Yes, but I

46
00:01:56,560 --> 00:01:58,120
Speaker 1: wouldn't say we're rushing, you know what I mean, like

47
00:01:58,120 --> 00:01:59,960
Speaker 1: we know what's coming, we know when it's coming. Let's

48
00:02:00,040 --> 00:02:02,080
Speaker 1: same time. I feel like we're making sure we're doing

49
00:02:02,080 --> 00:02:03,680
Speaker 1: it on the right terms. That way, we don't skip

50
00:02:03,680 --> 00:02:07,000
Speaker 1: over everything and everybody understands what's going on before. You're

51
00:02:07,040 --> 00:02:09,760
Speaker 1: kind of building on that. Dude, Do your responsibilities change

52
00:02:09,840 --> 00:02:11,720
Speaker 1: much in this new offense? I mean we still see

53
00:02:11,760 --> 00:02:14,079
Speaker 1: you running out of the slot. Oh yeah, I'm still

54
00:02:14,080 --> 00:02:16,320
Speaker 1: in the slot. Still gotta make plays, makes up blocks.

55
00:02:16,360 --> 00:02:18,359
Speaker 1: So for the most part, I mean I'm pretty much

56
00:02:18,360 --> 00:02:19,799
Speaker 1: doing the same job, you know, So I just got

57
00:02:19,800 --> 00:02:21,120
Speaker 1: to go out there and do it at the end

58
00:02:21,120 --> 00:02:23,160
Speaker 1: of the day. I mean, that's kind of football for you.

59
00:02:23,160 --> 00:02:24,640
Speaker 1: Every year. It's the same thing every year. But at

60
00:02:24,639 --> 00:02:26,720
Speaker 1: the same time, if you just stay the same and

61
00:02:26,760 --> 00:02:28,880
Speaker 1: don't get better at it, and you probably won't be

62
00:02:28,880 --> 00:02:36,720
Speaker 1: here for long. I don't think anymore players on natural definitely.

63
00:02:36,760 --> 00:02:38,200
Speaker 1: I mean that gets better every year, you know, as

64
00:02:38,240 --> 00:02:40,840
Speaker 1: I get older. I'm just starting to under understand the

65
00:02:40,840 --> 00:02:42,600
Speaker 1: game more and just get better at my role more.

66
00:02:43,200 --> 00:02:45,320
Speaker 1: And when this new offense is or anything like that

67
00:02:45,840 --> 00:02:52,000
Speaker 1: going on, anything like what oh not? Definitely, yeah, I

68
00:02:52,000 --> 00:02:54,120
Speaker 1: mean it's not it's not crazy different. You know, at

69
00:02:54,120 --> 00:02:56,360
Speaker 1: the end of the day, it's still football. So and

70
00:02:56,400 --> 00:02:58,079
Speaker 1: then we we've been around the game long enough to

71
00:02:58,160 --> 00:03:00,680
Speaker 1: understand different offenses. So even though it's new to us,

72
00:03:00,880 --> 00:03:03,000
Speaker 1: we know this is a offense that's been in the

73
00:03:03,000 --> 00:03:04,799
Speaker 1: game for a while. So there's tape out there. Even

74
00:03:04,800 --> 00:03:06,639
Speaker 1: if it's not us, they can go study it there

75
00:03:06,680 --> 00:03:08,000
Speaker 1: and we can still get our rep to that way.

76
00:03:08,040 --> 00:03:11,679
Speaker 1: Mental rep. So a lot of people talk about do

77
00:03:11,800 --> 00:03:19,600
Speaker 1: you think says physically too, do you feel like you're well,

78
00:03:19,600 --> 00:03:20,840
Speaker 1: I don't know. I ain't ran the forty in a

79
00:03:20,840 --> 00:03:22,960
Speaker 1: little minute, you know. I feel like that's more a

80
00:03:22,960 --> 00:03:24,919
Speaker 1: mental thing. If you could play fast and you'll probably

81
00:03:24,919 --> 00:03:26,240
Speaker 1: look fast, you know, I mean, if you don't really

82
00:03:26,280 --> 00:03:28,600
Speaker 1: understand what's going on, then you look slower. So I

83
00:03:28,600 --> 00:03:31,000
Speaker 1: ain't gonna be four two fast. I ain't Taikwon Thornton,

84
00:03:31,080 --> 00:03:32,840
Speaker 1: but you know what I mean, I'm fast enough to

85
00:03:32,880 --> 00:03:37,680
Speaker 1: get open, so difficulty think it is from Taikwon. Deal

86
00:03:37,720 --> 00:03:39,280
Speaker 1: with an injury. Now, it just felt like he was

87
00:03:39,320 --> 00:03:42,520
Speaker 1: really progressing pretty steadily here. Now it seems like he's

88
00:03:42,520 --> 00:03:44,920
Speaker 1: gonna for some time. Yeah, but I mean if I

89
00:03:44,920 --> 00:03:46,480
Speaker 1: don't know if you guys know him personally, but he's

90
00:03:46,480 --> 00:03:48,280
Speaker 1: a he's a great kid, you know, and he's gonna

91
00:03:48,280 --> 00:03:50,120
Speaker 1: be I think it's gonna be perfectly fine if anybody

92
00:03:50,120 --> 00:03:52,120
Speaker 1: can handle it. I think he'll be the guy that can.

93
00:03:52,240 --> 00:03:53,960
Speaker 1: You know, we know what he brings to the table,

94
00:03:53,960 --> 00:03:55,280
Speaker 1: and he knows what he brings to the table, and

95
00:03:55,320 --> 00:03:57,040
Speaker 1: he got a great support system around him, a lot

96
00:03:57,040 --> 00:03:59,119
Speaker 1: of great guys in the room. So I think it'd

97
00:03:59,120 --> 00:04:01,640
Speaker 1: be right. Kobe, I couldn't help. But notice year your

98
00:04:01,640 --> 00:04:04,400
Speaker 1: wrestlers that kind of a model that you buy for

99
00:04:04,560 --> 00:04:06,560
Speaker 1: a while. Oh yeah, I just try to go on

100
00:04:06,640 --> 00:04:08,360
Speaker 1: my walk, you know, guys, man, I've been learning a

101
00:04:08,400 --> 00:04:10,760
Speaker 1: lot from the guys and a on a team like Slate.

102
00:04:11,080 --> 00:04:13,080
Speaker 1: You know, a guy named Joe Robinson who kind of

103
00:04:13,080 --> 00:04:15,640
Speaker 1: preaches sports and everything. So I've been learning a lot

104
00:04:15,680 --> 00:04:17,640
Speaker 1: and just trying to, you know, learn my walk and

105
00:04:17,720 --> 00:04:19,360
Speaker 1: understand what I'm doing, what God wants me to do.

106
00:04:19,520 --> 00:04:25,799
Speaker 1: So that's one how impressive you've been by LJ. I'm free,

107
00:04:25,960 --> 00:04:27,960
Speaker 1: you can catch the ball man. That man got some

108
00:04:28,040 --> 00:04:30,360
Speaker 1: hands on him, you know, and he get open. So

109
00:04:30,760 --> 00:04:32,560
Speaker 1: I like seeing him go out there and make plays

110
00:04:32,640 --> 00:04:35,880
Speaker 1: and just calm, cool, collected guy, you know what I mean.

111
00:04:35,920 --> 00:04:38,120
Speaker 1: So I'm happy for him. See, I like a little

112
00:04:38,120 --> 00:04:41,279
Speaker 1: bit of a rare body type. Just he's he's a

113
00:04:41,279 --> 00:04:44,480
Speaker 1: big guy. Billy the other day kind of called him

114
00:04:44,480 --> 00:04:46,480
Speaker 1: almost like a tight end a little bit. No, definitely,

115
00:04:46,480 --> 00:04:48,520
Speaker 1: I mean he's he's bigger than most people think. You know,

116
00:04:48,520 --> 00:04:50,080
Speaker 1: you walk up on him, then you kind of realize

117
00:04:50,120 --> 00:04:52,240
Speaker 1: how tall he is, how big he is, and he

118
00:04:52,279 --> 00:04:54,360
Speaker 1: can still move around. So I mean, it's impressive what

119
00:04:54,360 --> 00:04:56,000
Speaker 1: he could do on football field. So I'm happy with

120
00:04:56,080 --> 00:04:59,720
Speaker 1: us now summer. There is a cliff of Nelson saying that,

121
00:04:59,800 --> 00:05:01,760
Speaker 1: you way, I think two twenty five now, and it

122
00:05:01,960 --> 00:05:05,080
Speaker 1: usually pushed back on that any update I'm not from. No,

123
00:05:05,200 --> 00:05:07,159
Speaker 1: I'm still not two twenty five. I don't think I'll

124
00:05:07,200 --> 00:05:09,320
Speaker 1: ever be two twenty five in my life, hopefully, you

125
00:05:09,320 --> 00:05:10,719
Speaker 1: know what I mean. I don't want to be that big.

126
00:05:12,520 --> 00:05:13,000
Speaker 1: Appreciate you
