1
00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:02,800
Speaker 1: Week two of training camp underway here at the Miller

2
00:00:02,800 --> 00:00:05,240
Speaker 1: Electric Center. Wide receiver Christian Kirk with me House training

3
00:00:05,240 --> 00:00:06,880
Speaker 1: camp and going so far, are you kind of getting

4
00:00:06,880 --> 00:00:08,920
Speaker 1: your sea legs so to speak. It's a couple of

5
00:00:08,960 --> 00:00:09,600
Speaker 1: days gone by.

6
00:00:09,800 --> 00:00:12,000
Speaker 2: Yeah. No, The coaches did a good job of kind

7
00:00:12,000 --> 00:00:15,440
Speaker 2: of ramping up training camp this year. Changed the schedule

8
00:00:15,480 --> 00:00:17,360
Speaker 2: a little bit to where we started in the red zone,

9
00:00:17,720 --> 00:00:20,080
Speaker 2: especially for the wide receivers, not having a run downfield

10
00:00:20,120 --> 00:00:21,960
Speaker 2: as much, you know, kind of break the seal a

11
00:00:22,000 --> 00:00:23,880
Speaker 2: little bit, and then now we're getting into the more

12
00:00:23,960 --> 00:00:26,480
Speaker 2: open field stuff. So I think it's been good so far.

13
00:00:26,640 --> 00:00:28,960
Speaker 2: Body's feeling good and I know the guys are responding

14
00:00:28,960 --> 00:00:29,400
Speaker 2: to it well.

15
00:00:29,840 --> 00:00:31,480
Speaker 1: House. The off season been for you. Obviously you had

16
00:00:31,480 --> 00:00:33,159
Speaker 1: that injury. You're trying to come back. Maybe towards the

17
00:00:33,240 --> 00:00:36,080
Speaker 1: end of last season. Has rehab kind of gotten you

18
00:00:36,080 --> 00:00:37,919
Speaker 1: back to Do you feel where you're one hundred percent now?

19
00:00:37,960 --> 00:00:38,640
Speaker 2: One hundred percent?

20
00:00:38,720 --> 00:00:38,879
Speaker 1: Yeah?

21
00:00:38,920 --> 00:00:41,560
Speaker 2: I uh, you know, there was not hiccups, but I

22
00:00:41,600 --> 00:00:43,600
Speaker 2: was still working through some things going through OTA's in

23
00:00:43,600 --> 00:00:46,159
Speaker 2: mini camp just because you know, still about four or

24
00:00:46,200 --> 00:00:49,120
Speaker 2: five months out from my injury, and you know, I

25
00:00:49,240 --> 00:00:53,160
Speaker 2: just needed to get back home to Arizona and really

26
00:00:53,320 --> 00:00:55,840
Speaker 2: just take a second to kind of hone in on

27
00:00:55,960 --> 00:00:57,680
Speaker 2: the little things that I needed to fix from a

28
00:00:57,720 --> 00:01:00,440
Speaker 2: therapy standpoint. And you know, the five weeks that we

29
00:01:00,480 --> 00:01:02,840
Speaker 2: had off over the summer really was a good opportunity

30
00:01:02,840 --> 00:01:05,160
Speaker 2: for me to get back in my element and you know,

31
00:01:05,240 --> 00:01:07,679
Speaker 2: really do the things to get myself where I need

32
00:01:07,680 --> 00:01:10,080
Speaker 2: it to be. And you know, our body responded great

33
00:01:10,120 --> 00:01:12,520
Speaker 2: and I feel great coming into training camp, feel like

34
00:01:12,560 --> 00:01:15,880
Speaker 2: I got my speedback and nowhere pain. So really excited

35
00:01:15,920 --> 00:01:17,200
Speaker 2: for where my body is.

36
00:01:17,440 --> 00:01:20,000
Speaker 1: It's great when you come in. Obviously, the wide receiver

37
00:01:20,000 --> 00:01:22,840
Speaker 1: group's different this year. You know, people look at the

38
00:01:22,840 --> 00:01:25,120
Speaker 1: first couple of days in camp and they're not seeing touchdowns.

39
00:01:25,200 --> 00:01:26,959
Speaker 1: This is the time where you work things out, right,

40
00:01:27,000 --> 00:01:28,920
Speaker 1: So what is it like when you come in there's

41
00:01:28,920 --> 00:01:30,680
Speaker 1: a lot of new receivers when you're working with Trevor

42
00:01:30,760 --> 00:01:31,880
Speaker 1: and the other quarterbacks.

43
00:01:32,200 --> 00:01:34,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's just a lot of trial and error. You know,

44
00:01:34,959 --> 00:01:37,600
Speaker 2: as much as it seems pretty seamless, it's a pretty

45
00:01:37,600 --> 00:01:41,000
Speaker 2: difficult thing. So it definitely takes a little bit of

46
00:01:42,560 --> 00:01:45,080
Speaker 2: you know, just like I said, trial and err, especially

47
00:01:45,080 --> 00:01:48,440
Speaker 2: for guys like Brian, guys like Gabe who are still

48
00:01:48,480 --> 00:01:50,480
Speaker 2: trying to pick up the system. You know, there's a

49
00:01:50,480 --> 00:01:52,520
Speaker 2: lot more than just goes into just running around and

50
00:01:52,560 --> 00:01:54,680
Speaker 2: catching the ball. You gotta know where your alignment is,

51
00:01:54,800 --> 00:01:56,680
Speaker 2: know where the depth of your route, know what coverage

52
00:01:56,720 --> 00:01:59,320
Speaker 2: it is, and so when you're out there thinking a

53
00:01:59,320 --> 00:02:02,360
Speaker 2: little bit more, it's a little harder to be at

54
00:02:02,360 --> 00:02:04,520
Speaker 2: the right place at the right time because you're slowing

55
00:02:04,560 --> 00:02:06,680
Speaker 2: down just a little bit. So they've been doing a

56
00:02:06,680 --> 00:02:08,880
Speaker 2: good job, and yeah, we've had our misses here and there,

57
00:02:08,880 --> 00:02:11,520
Speaker 2: but we've also had a handful of plays from you know,

58
00:02:11,800 --> 00:02:14,320
Speaker 2: our guys, especially some of the younger guys that you know,

59
00:02:14,440 --> 00:02:17,359
Speaker 2: kind of bring some confidence. So it'll all increasingly get

60
00:02:17,400 --> 00:02:18,440
Speaker 2: better as camp goes on.

61
00:02:19,440 --> 00:02:23,440
Speaker 1: Trevor got his contract extension done in the off season. Obviously,

62
00:02:23,520 --> 00:02:25,600
Speaker 1: I know you guys are very close, great bond there.

63
00:02:25,680 --> 00:02:27,240
Speaker 1: What did it mean to you to see Trevor's gonna

64
00:02:27,240 --> 00:02:27,880
Speaker 1: be around for a while.

65
00:02:28,200 --> 00:02:30,239
Speaker 2: Yeah, it was just I was just really proud of

66
00:02:30,320 --> 00:02:32,840
Speaker 2: him all that he's been through, and you know, I

67
00:02:32,880 --> 00:02:35,480
Speaker 2: know his rookie year was a tough year to go through,

68
00:02:35,520 --> 00:02:38,120
Speaker 2: and then you know year one of us being together,

69
00:02:38,680 --> 00:02:41,720
Speaker 2: the first what eight nine games weren't pretty and then

70
00:02:41,720 --> 00:02:44,639
Speaker 2: we finally turned it around. And last year being last year,

71
00:02:44,639 --> 00:02:46,360
Speaker 2: you know, there's been a lot of ups and downs here,

72
00:02:47,160 --> 00:02:50,040
Speaker 2: but he's been a constant here and you know, bringing

73
00:02:50,040 --> 00:02:52,919
Speaker 2: winning football to Jacksonville. And you know, I don't think

74
00:02:52,960 --> 00:02:55,840
Speaker 2: there's another quarterback that I know this city or you know,

75
00:02:55,960 --> 00:02:59,200
Speaker 2: I would want here to play with. So he deserves

76
00:02:59,320 --> 00:03:01,920
Speaker 2: every bit of that contract, and you know, I'm excited to,

77
00:03:02,360 --> 00:03:05,080
Speaker 2: you know, watch him keep growing, you know, into being

78
00:03:05,120 --> 00:03:07,280
Speaker 2: the leader you know of Jacksonville for a long time.

79
00:03:08,160 --> 00:03:10,120
Speaker 1: We're gonna see pads go on in a couple of days.

80
00:03:10,200 --> 00:03:11,880
Speaker 1: At this point in training camp, what are you kind

81
00:03:11,880 --> 00:03:13,480
Speaker 1: of working on? What are you looking forward to?

82
00:03:13,919 --> 00:03:16,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think for me, it's just making every play

83
00:03:16,760 --> 00:03:19,520
Speaker 2: that comes my way. Sure, you know, when I get

84
00:03:19,560 --> 00:03:22,000
Speaker 2: out there, I don't get too many opportunities, you know,

85
00:03:22,200 --> 00:03:24,720
Speaker 2: in camp, being a little bit of an older guy

86
00:03:24,800 --> 00:03:27,120
Speaker 2: that kind of watch how much I'm doing, and you know,

87
00:03:27,160 --> 00:03:28,720
Speaker 2: the young guys have to get their reps and be

88
00:03:28,760 --> 00:03:30,280
Speaker 2: able to show what they can do as well. So

89
00:03:30,919 --> 00:03:32,480
Speaker 2: when I'm out there, I really just try to take

90
00:03:32,480 --> 00:03:34,720
Speaker 2: advantage of every rep that I get and you know,

91
00:03:34,840 --> 00:03:37,360
Speaker 2: make sure I'm winning them and just get all the

92
00:03:37,400 --> 00:03:40,880
Speaker 2: things in from a release standpoint, catching the ball, developing

93
00:03:40,880 --> 00:03:43,920
Speaker 2: my routes. So when wee week one comes around, you know,

94
00:03:43,960 --> 00:03:45,840
Speaker 2: it's just going out there and playing fast.

95
00:03:46,840 --> 00:03:49,000
Speaker 1: Just final question for me, just when you have this

96
00:03:49,080 --> 00:03:51,000
Speaker 1: time of year, obviously there's a lot of new players,

97
00:03:51,040 --> 00:03:53,600
Speaker 1: young guys as well, building that chemistry. You guys talk

98
00:03:53,680 --> 00:03:55,640
Speaker 1: about it a lot, but it's important and I feel

99
00:03:55,640 --> 00:03:56,880
Speaker 1: like this is the time of year when you really

100
00:03:56,920 --> 00:03:59,200
Speaker 1: get that done so that when things maybe don't go

101
00:03:59,200 --> 00:04:01,320
Speaker 1: your way later in the year, you've built that. Starting

102
00:04:01,320 --> 00:04:02,200
Speaker 1: a training camp.

103
00:04:02,120 --> 00:04:04,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's just especially in the first week, you know,

104
00:04:04,600 --> 00:04:07,160
Speaker 2: you're really just laying the foundation. And you know we

105
00:04:07,200 --> 00:04:09,600
Speaker 2: talk about a lot, especially in our team meeting and

106
00:04:09,720 --> 00:04:12,040
Speaker 2: the captain's talked about it. I just you know, having

107
00:04:12,080 --> 00:04:13,880
Speaker 2: a vision, you know, for where we want to go

108
00:04:14,360 --> 00:04:17,400
Speaker 2: and bringing that out to the practice field every single day.

109
00:04:17,440 --> 00:04:20,280
Speaker 2: You know, when it gets hot, you're tired, pads come on,

110
00:04:20,839 --> 00:04:23,760
Speaker 2: you only had a couple hours of sleep. There's some

111
00:04:23,800 --> 00:04:27,440
Speaker 2: negative thoughts that come into your mind. But when you

112
00:04:27,520 --> 00:04:29,560
Speaker 2: think back to you know, maybe what happened to us

113
00:04:29,640 --> 00:04:32,520
Speaker 2: last year, or you know, you think where we're going

114
00:04:32,560 --> 00:04:34,880
Speaker 2: and what we want to accomplish. Kind of pull some

115
00:04:34,920 --> 00:04:37,720
Speaker 2: inner of motivation, you know, not only individually but as

116
00:04:37,800 --> 00:04:39,680
Speaker 2: a team. So I think as long as we have that,

117
00:04:39,800 --> 00:04:42,240
Speaker 2: especially for the young guys, and showing what it's supposed

118
00:04:42,279 --> 00:04:45,000
Speaker 2: to look like, you know, we'll keep coming along and

119
00:04:45,040 --> 00:04:46,440
Speaker 2: at the end of training camp be a pretty good

120
00:04:46,440 --> 00:04:47,000
Speaker 2: football team.

121
00:04:47,120 --> 00:04:49,160
Speaker 1: See what everybody's made of. If I like it, that's right,

122
00:04:49,279 --> 00:04:50,920
Speaker 1: all right, We'll see you out there for training camp.
