You know, we for sure 83 00:04:00,520 --> 00:04:04,560 Speaker 1: have those early FBS games circled because those are probably 84 00:04:04,600 --> 00:04:07,440 Speaker 1: the most media attention we're ever gonna get for a 85 00:04:07,440 --> 00:04:11,119 Speaker 1: small school like that.

But obviously go back and watch the film. 98 00:04:41,080 --> 00:04:43,159 Speaker 1: There's still eighty things that you want to work on, 99 00:04:43,279 --> 00:04:44,960 Speaker 1: so it's hard to say, you know, it's a great game. 100 00:04:45,040 --> 00:04:47,440 Speaker 1: But hey, Ellerson, you know you're one of the guys 101 00:04:47,520 --> 00:04:50,560 Speaker 1: that that opted out of last season, and I know 102 00:04:50,640 --> 00:04:53,200 Speaker 1: the giants in the pre draft process talked a lot 103 00:04:53,279 --> 00:04:56,240 Speaker 1: about you know, it's twenty months for some of you guys, 104 00:04:56,600 --> 00:05:01,000 Speaker 1: you know that you hadn't really been on a field. UM. 105 00:05:01,040 --> 00:05:04,400 Speaker 1: I'm just curious if if you feel rust at this point, 106 00:05:05,120 --> 00:05:08,040 Speaker 1: or if you know how that process is for you, 107 00:05:08,080 --> 00:05:10,159 Speaker 1: if you if you feel rusty, if you're just glad 108 00:05:10,200 --> 00:05:12,200 Speaker 1: to be back on the field, if if it feels 109 00:05:12,240 --> 00:05:15,400 Speaker 1: completely natural, or if it just feels like you haven't 110 00:05:15,440 --> 00:05:18,800 Speaker 1: been out there for a while. Yeah. So actually I 111 00:05:19,400 --> 00:05:22,760 Speaker 1: didn't opt out. My season got canceled um last year, 112 00:05:22,880 --> 00:05:24,840 Speaker 1: so I you know, didn't have a chance to play 113 00:05:24,880 --> 00:05:27,720 Speaker 1: that year. But um, you know, I feel like football 114 00:05:27,760 --> 00:05:29,640 Speaker 1: is one of those things where I've been playing for 115 00:05:29,720 --> 00:05:31,960 Speaker 1: ten plus years now, so a lot of the things 116 00:05:31,960 --> 00:05:34,640 Speaker 1: can come second nature at this point. Um, there's obviously 117 00:05:34,640 --> 00:05:37,320 Speaker 1: a little you know, like you said Russ, that you 118 00:05:37,360 --> 00:05:40,479 Speaker 1: have to knock off here and there. Um, getting in 119 00:05:40,960 --> 00:05:43,200 Speaker 1: football shaping condition is one thing you can you know, 120 00:05:43,279 --> 00:05:45,600 Speaker 1: spend a lot of time doing things in the gym, 121 00:05:45,680 --> 00:05:47,200 Speaker 1: but you know, I actually being out on the field 122 00:05:47,560 --> 00:05:51,560 Speaker 1: running around drill to drills is different. So, UM, I 123 00:05:51,839 --> 00:05:54,320 Speaker 1: feel pretty good. Um for sure, I have a lot 124 00:05:54,360 --> 00:05:58,560 Speaker 1: to work on and excited to get after that. Thank you. 125 00:06:00,640 --> 00:06:04,720 Speaker 1: Hey Allerson, uh've mentioned how much you know, how many 126 00:06:04,960 --> 00:06:07,000 Speaker 1: all the teaching in the notes you're gonna be taking, 127 00:06:07,520 --> 00:06:10,640 Speaker 1: and obviously how much you have to gain. I'm just curious. 128 00:06:10,640 --> 00:06:13,360 Speaker 1: I know it's only been two days as teammates with disease, 129 00:06:13,480 --> 00:06:15,800 Speaker 1: but the two of you guys are kind of coming 130 00:06:15,839 --> 00:06:21,000 Speaker 1: into a situation where you're, you know, you're playing similar positions. 131 00:06:21,000 --> 00:06:23,440 Speaker 1: I would imagine you can kind of lean on each 132 00:06:23,440 --> 00:06:26,240 Speaker 1: other a little bit. What's been that relationship like so far? 133 00:06:26,360 --> 00:06:28,359 Speaker 1: And you know, what do you think of his game? 134 00:06:29,240 --> 00:06:31,520 Speaker 1: I mean, I think his ease is a good dude. Um, 135 00:06:31,560 --> 00:06:35,480 Speaker 1: you know, I don't know much about him his game otherwise, 136 00:06:35,520 --> 00:06:38,320 Speaker 1: so UM, I'll let I'll let him handle that. But UM, 137 00:06:38,360 --> 00:06:39,919 Speaker 1: I think he's a good guy. Excited to get to 138 00:06:39,920 --> 00:06:46,640 Speaker 1: work with him every day.
