1
00:00:00,440 --> 00:00:01,200
Speaker 1: How are you.

2
00:00:01,480 --> 00:00:05,120
Speaker 2: How are you guys? What's up?

3
00:00:06,000 --> 00:00:07,840
Speaker 3: Yeah?

4
00:00:08,880 --> 00:00:12,160
Speaker 4: What do you guys to be able to go back

5
00:00:12,160 --> 00:00:13,320
Speaker 4: on the road for a second.

6
00:00:13,039 --> 00:00:15,159
Speaker 5: Week in a row and do what you needed to do?

7
00:00:15,560 --> 00:00:18,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, we know this. We had a three game road

8
00:00:18,560 --> 00:00:22,000
Speaker 2: stand and it was a fun one the week before

9
00:00:22,120 --> 00:00:24,720
Speaker 2: and it was it's right back to work. And the

10
00:00:24,760 --> 00:00:26,159
Speaker 2: Saints are a good team. You know, they had a

11
00:00:26,200 --> 00:00:28,240
Speaker 2: really good front. We knew it was gonna be a

12
00:00:28,280 --> 00:00:31,640
Speaker 2: tough challenge coming in and uh, tough environment too. That's

13
00:00:32,000 --> 00:00:33,720
Speaker 2: that plays one of the lotest places I've played in

14
00:00:33,760 --> 00:00:37,639
Speaker 2: my career. Uh, the dumb aspect obviously plays into that.

15
00:00:37,760 --> 00:00:40,120
Speaker 2: But it was a good team win. You know. I

16
00:00:40,120 --> 00:00:43,560
Speaker 2: think offensive defense especially, teams kind of played off each other.

17
00:00:43,640 --> 00:00:46,440
Speaker 2: But coming out with the win. That's that's the goal

18
00:00:46,440 --> 00:00:46,640
Speaker 2: at the.

19
00:00:46,680 --> 00:00:49,840
Speaker 5: End of the day.

20
00:00:50,320 --> 00:00:53,319
Speaker 1: Talk to you last week about the running game.

21
00:00:53,400 --> 00:00:56,920
Speaker 4: That just felt like you guys were to get into

22
00:00:56,920 --> 00:00:57,640
Speaker 4: where you wanted to be.

23
00:00:57,920 --> 00:00:59,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, what did you see from that?

24
00:01:01,120 --> 00:01:03,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, gosh, man, it's.

25
00:01:04,120 --> 00:01:04,400
Speaker 5: It's that.

26
00:01:04,560 --> 00:01:06,840
Speaker 2: That's that's the talking point. That's on the back of

27
00:01:06,920 --> 00:01:11,160
Speaker 2: our minds, y'all's minds, everyone's minds right now. I have

28
00:01:11,200 --> 00:01:13,240
Speaker 2: a lot of faith and confidence still in it. Uh,

29
00:01:14,760 --> 00:01:18,080
Speaker 2: you know, close, close is tired. You get a word

30
00:01:18,120 --> 00:01:20,639
Speaker 2: to get tired of hearing we're close, We're close, We're close.

31
00:01:20,720 --> 00:01:24,319
Speaker 2: But you just just watch the film with the guys

32
00:01:24,400 --> 00:01:27,000
Speaker 2: and there's just a few plays and we need to

33
00:01:27,000 --> 00:01:31,000
Speaker 2: take more accountability as an O line to have our

34
00:01:31,040 --> 00:01:34,280
Speaker 2: guy never make the play because we're getting a hat

35
00:01:34,319 --> 00:01:36,880
Speaker 2: on a hat where where we're supposed to be getting

36
00:01:36,880 --> 00:01:38,640
Speaker 2: to the right play call. We just we need to

37
00:01:38,640 --> 00:01:42,440
Speaker 2: finish better. Because we got a good stable of running backs.

38
00:01:43,040 --> 00:01:45,720
Speaker 2: It'll help our past came out, it'll help, it'll help

39
00:01:45,760 --> 00:01:49,520
Speaker 2: the whole team out. And we had some good, dirty

40
00:01:49,560 --> 00:01:51,480
Speaker 2: four or five six yard runs and we're just we

41
00:01:51,520 --> 00:01:54,480
Speaker 2: haven't popped any of those yet. You know, there's no

42
00:01:54,520 --> 00:01:57,000
Speaker 2: better feeling than a twenty thirty forty yard touchdown run.

43
00:01:59,120 --> 00:02:01,360
Speaker 2: And so we gotta we got takes some ownership. We

44
00:02:01,440 --> 00:02:03,960
Speaker 2: got to get it fixed. And uh, that'll really help

45
00:02:04,000 --> 00:02:04,560
Speaker 2: this team out.

46
00:02:06,160 --> 00:02:11,480
Speaker 5: I understand that step on digs providing a chef.

47
00:02:12,720 --> 00:02:18,079
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah, we do. We do all our online

48
00:02:18,080 --> 00:02:21,640
Speaker 2: dinners every week, and uh, we've done them at restaurants

49
00:02:21,639 --> 00:02:23,440
Speaker 2: and it was my week, so I wanted to have

50
00:02:23,480 --> 00:02:26,040
Speaker 2: it at the house and have the guys around my kids,

51
00:02:26,080 --> 00:02:30,639
Speaker 2: and uh, I didn't have any chefs and it's fun.

52
00:02:30,680 --> 00:02:33,280
Speaker 2: Digs offered his chef up to us, and uh, it

53
00:02:33,280 --> 00:02:36,000
Speaker 2: was an absurd amount of food, but honestly it was.

54
00:02:36,240 --> 00:02:38,639
Speaker 2: It was. Uh, it was cleaned out. So I had

55
00:02:38,639 --> 00:02:41,680
Speaker 2: to order some Shirley temples from Amazon since we kind

56
00:02:41,680 --> 00:02:44,120
Speaker 2: of had them every week and the boys need Shirley temples,

57
00:02:44,160 --> 00:02:48,880
Speaker 2: so uh they like that. Just a little stitious, just

58
00:02:48,919 --> 00:02:51,640
Speaker 2: a little, but no, it was a great time. It

59
00:02:51,680 --> 00:02:55,720
Speaker 2: was good. Good to have everyone over the house. And yeah,

60
00:02:55,760 --> 00:02:59,720
Speaker 2: it was. It was an absurd amount of food. Steak wings, uh,

61
00:03:00,680 --> 00:03:03,120
Speaker 2: smash burgers, mac and cheese, bake beans.

62
00:03:03,160 --> 00:03:05,760
Speaker 5: It was. It was crazy, so but it was good.

63
00:03:06,120 --> 00:03:07,639
Speaker 3: There's a lot to focus on maybe with the Run

64
00:03:07,680 --> 00:03:10,920
Speaker 3: game isn't doing but like you mentioned that, we're some openings, yeah, yesterday.

65
00:03:10,960 --> 00:03:12,320
Speaker 5: So what are some things that you feel like the

66
00:03:12,360 --> 00:03:13,480
Speaker 5: unit is starting to progress?

67
00:03:14,480 --> 00:03:15,880
Speaker 2: So sorry say the last part again, What.

68
00:03:15,800 --> 00:03:17,120
Speaker 5: Are the things that you feel the unit in the

69
00:03:17,160 --> 00:03:18,600
Speaker 5: Run game is starting to progress in?

70
00:03:18,919 --> 00:03:20,919
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, like kind of what I mentioned before. We're

71
00:03:20,919 --> 00:03:23,440
Speaker 2: getting a hat on a hat and I think we're

72
00:03:23,480 --> 00:03:27,000
Speaker 2: doing some good things at the first level, and I

73
00:03:27,000 --> 00:03:28,880
Speaker 2: think the first few weeks. We were really good at

74
00:03:28,960 --> 00:03:31,280
Speaker 2: not having negative runs, and I think some of those

75
00:03:31,320 --> 00:03:34,320
Speaker 2: are showing up a little bit. And so it's no

76
00:03:34,480 --> 00:03:36,720
Speaker 2: line The first priority is take care of the downs,

77
00:03:36,760 --> 00:03:39,360
Speaker 2: take care of the line of scrimmage, get your combos going,

78
00:03:40,000 --> 00:03:42,440
Speaker 2: and then it's the second level. And I think the

79
00:03:42,520 --> 00:03:46,000
Speaker 2: same specifically, that's some of the best linebacker combos that

80
00:03:46,040 --> 00:03:48,360
Speaker 2: will play all year. I have a lot of respect

81
00:03:48,360 --> 00:03:50,640
Speaker 2: for Davis and Werner, but at the end of the day,

82
00:03:51,320 --> 00:03:52,760
Speaker 2: it's not about what they do, it's what we do.

83
00:03:52,840 --> 00:03:55,119
Speaker 2: And so we need to get on the right landmark.

84
00:03:55,160 --> 00:03:59,320
Speaker 2: We need to finish blocks, sustained blocks, and get the

85
00:03:59,320 --> 00:04:01,200
Speaker 2: backs to the third level because that's that's when we

86
00:04:01,240 --> 00:04:04,280
Speaker 2: really make them Hay and so I think some of

87
00:04:04,280 --> 00:04:06,400
Speaker 2: the combinations were really good and we were hitting some

88
00:04:06,440 --> 00:04:10,040
Speaker 2: of the similar schemes in the game, and uh yeah,

89
00:04:10,040 --> 00:04:12,400
Speaker 2: it's just it's those four or five six yard runs

90
00:04:12,400 --> 00:04:14,200
Speaker 2: that you really want to make go a little further

91
00:04:14,280 --> 00:04:18,039
Speaker 2: than that. So it's yeah, I don't want to be

92
00:04:18,040 --> 00:04:20,560
Speaker 2: a dead horse, but it's close, but we can be better.

93
00:04:21,320 --> 00:04:26,719
Speaker 5: You got back into Bobsborough on the America League Championship Series.

94
00:04:26,760 --> 00:04:29,880
Speaker 5: I know, yeahs watch for them.

95
00:04:30,000 --> 00:04:32,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, it took Game one. There's there's some Mariners fans

96
00:04:32,680 --> 00:04:36,400
Speaker 2: westovers from PNW and Chisholm, so we're trying to track

97
00:04:36,440 --> 00:04:38,320
Speaker 2: it on the plane. But that's a big Game one win.

98
00:04:39,440 --> 00:04:43,000
Speaker 5: You mentioned getting in the right play and Drake's growth

99
00:04:43,120 --> 00:04:45,040
Speaker 5: and want of ways been asking million questions about him

100
00:04:45,080 --> 00:04:47,800
Speaker 5: from day one. Yeah, what do you see week two

101
00:04:47,839 --> 00:04:50,359
Speaker 5: weak in terms of his presence in the huddle, of

102
00:04:50,360 --> 00:04:53,440
Speaker 5: his command, his ability to navigate the pocket.

103
00:04:53,920 --> 00:04:58,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean he's playing with confidence right now. We

104
00:04:58,080 --> 00:04:59,520
Speaker 2: were just watching the film and I was telling the

105
00:04:59,560 --> 00:05:02,680
Speaker 2: guys like, we don't really know where he is sometimes,

106
00:05:02,720 --> 00:05:04,559
Speaker 2: so we just have to finish, we have to block

107
00:05:05,560 --> 00:05:07,560
Speaker 2: because there's some plays where he's just making stuff happen.

108
00:05:07,600 --> 00:05:10,279
Speaker 2: He's got great feel in the pocket. Commanding the huddle

109
00:05:10,360 --> 00:05:13,919
Speaker 2: is huge. Whether he needs to get us to a

110
00:05:13,960 --> 00:05:16,720
Speaker 2: better look or alert to play or change the play,

111
00:05:17,120 --> 00:05:20,240
Speaker 2: he's doing what he needs to do. And then he's

112
00:05:20,240 --> 00:05:22,600
Speaker 2: been lights out throwing the bombing that first in the

113
00:05:22,640 --> 00:05:25,120
Speaker 2: first half there, we were like we didn't want to

114
00:05:25,120 --> 00:05:28,080
Speaker 2: say anything, so we're like, this guy's slinging it around.

115
00:05:29,560 --> 00:05:31,440
Speaker 2: So it was He's a lot of fun to play

116
00:05:31,480 --> 00:05:36,040
Speaker 2: with and that puts more ownership on the run game

117
00:05:36,080 --> 00:05:39,359
Speaker 2: because we know how he's playing and we're relying on

118
00:05:39,440 --> 00:05:41,599
Speaker 2: him a lot right now. If we can get both going,

119
00:05:43,440 --> 00:05:45,320
Speaker 2: we can be a really good offense. So that'll help

120
00:05:45,360 --> 00:05:45,880
Speaker 2: the team a lot.

121
00:05:46,160 --> 00:05:48,680
Speaker 5: Sounds like having a picture throwing a no hitter in

122
00:05:48,839 --> 00:05:50,679
Speaker 5: the first half and you didn't want to say anything.

123
00:05:50,720 --> 00:05:53,560
Speaker 2: Absolutely, yeah. I kept looking up at the completion. I

124
00:05:53,560 --> 00:05:55,120
Speaker 2: think it was like one hundred percent the first I

125
00:05:55,160 --> 00:05:57,279
Speaker 2: was like, yeah, I need to stop looking at these stats.

126
00:05:57,360 --> 00:06:00,520
Speaker 2: I just need to do my job. But yeah, he's

127
00:06:01,440 --> 00:06:03,000
Speaker 2: he's playing really good football right now, and so we

128
00:06:03,040 --> 00:06:04,360
Speaker 2: need to support him as best we can.

129
00:06:04,720 --> 00:06:06,960
Speaker 3: What's it like as alignment seeing the effort reminder, Steve

130
00:06:06,960 --> 00:06:08,400
Speaker 3: Winson gives us a blocker.

131
00:06:08,080 --> 00:06:10,480
Speaker 2: Both obviously, you know, yeah, yeah, no kid. And there

132
00:06:10,520 --> 00:06:13,159
Speaker 2: was some blitz pickups he had where he's sticking his

133
00:06:13,200 --> 00:06:16,320
Speaker 2: face in there. I know coach Tony does uh prides

134
00:06:16,360 --> 00:06:18,320
Speaker 2: himself on his running backs are gonna are gonna pick

135
00:06:18,360 --> 00:06:21,080
Speaker 2: up blitzes. And there's some things we do in our

136
00:06:21,080 --> 00:06:23,760
Speaker 2: protections where we're asking our running backs to do more

137
00:06:23,800 --> 00:06:26,000
Speaker 2: than some other running backs do and that helps the

138
00:06:26,000 --> 00:06:29,800
Speaker 2: whole line. That helps Drake gives clean pockets it can

139
00:06:29,800 --> 00:06:31,920
Speaker 2: always be better, but I think there was some good

140
00:06:31,920 --> 00:06:34,039
Speaker 2: pockets yesterday for Drake to kind of run around and

141
00:06:34,080 --> 00:06:37,400
Speaker 2: do what he needed to do. So yeah, those guys

142
00:06:37,400 --> 00:06:39,799
Speaker 2: play a huge part we do. Protection means every week

143
00:06:40,200 --> 00:06:42,120
Speaker 2: they come in the a line room, they meet with us.

144
00:06:43,440 --> 00:06:46,800
Speaker 2: That's that's what helps make the offense go. Because from

145
00:06:46,800 --> 00:06:50,520
Speaker 2: a mental toughness standpoint, you guys thoughts back after having

146
00:06:50,800 --> 00:06:53,720
Speaker 2: you know, multiple plays take it away yesterday, what does

147
00:06:53,760 --> 00:06:56,880
Speaker 2: that say about this team? And just a yeah kind

148
00:06:56,920 --> 00:07:03,400
Speaker 2: of next play mentality. Coach always says like whatever happened

149
00:07:03,480 --> 00:07:06,680
Speaker 2: last play, good or bad. F it move on, And yeah,

150
00:07:06,720 --> 00:07:09,400
Speaker 2: there were some things that happened yesterday. I mean on

151
00:07:09,680 --> 00:07:12,320
Speaker 2: the one touchdown we were in the end zone celebrating,

152
00:07:12,400 --> 00:07:14,680
Speaker 2: we ran into the sideline and it was like you're

153
00:07:14,680 --> 00:07:19,480
Speaker 2: back out there, Like what? But yeah, it showed some resilience,

154
00:07:19,520 --> 00:07:21,920
Speaker 2: social toughness that like, all right, let's go we get

155
00:07:21,920 --> 00:07:23,640
Speaker 2: we get to play some more football, let's go do

156
00:07:23,680 --> 00:07:27,040
Speaker 2: it execute at a high level. And uh yeah, it's good

157
00:07:27,080 --> 00:07:29,880
Speaker 2: to whenever some penalties or negative plays like that happen,

158
00:07:30,000 --> 00:07:32,200
Speaker 2: you want to see a team bounce back. I felt

159
00:07:32,200 --> 00:07:34,080
Speaker 2: like we did a pretty good job of that yesterday.

160
00:07:34,680 --> 00:07:37,720
Speaker 4: Your head coach is could be going back to Tennessee

161
00:07:37,760 --> 00:07:39,120
Speaker 4: with you guys coming weekend.

162
00:07:39,200 --> 00:07:39,440
Speaker 5: Yeah.

163
00:07:39,480 --> 00:07:42,240
Speaker 1: Does that give you as players any added juice the

164
00:07:42,320 --> 00:07:46,440
Speaker 1: fact that it's a it's a it's a meaningful game

165
00:07:46,480 --> 00:07:48,440
Speaker 1: maybe in some sort of intangible ways for.

166
00:07:48,200 --> 00:07:51,520
Speaker 2: For Mike, Yeah, I don't know if coach there's probably

167
00:07:51,560 --> 00:07:53,800
Speaker 2: a little bit about Coach Frable that's a little fired

168
00:07:53,840 --> 00:07:57,560
Speaker 2: up for it, but he's such a football coach through

169
00:07:57,560 --> 00:07:59,600
Speaker 2: and through that it's just we need to have a

170
00:07:59,640 --> 00:08:01,720
Speaker 2: good Tuesday. We did have a good Wednesday. We didn't

171
00:08:01,720 --> 00:08:04,120
Speaker 2: have a good Thursday. We had to execute on Sunday.

172
00:08:05,520 --> 00:08:09,680
Speaker 2: So we'll worry about that later. But when we start

173
00:08:09,720 --> 00:08:13,520
Speaker 2: making things bigger than what they are focusing down the road,

174
00:08:13,680 --> 00:08:15,560
Speaker 2: or it's just we we got to live in the moment.

175
00:08:16,560 --> 00:08:18,920
Speaker 2: Don't matter what you've did yesterday or tomorrow, you just

176
00:08:19,080 --> 00:08:20,760
Speaker 2: got to have a good today. And that's kind of

177
00:08:20,760 --> 00:08:23,320
Speaker 2: the message coach for Abel Shares and but yeah, I'm

178
00:08:23,360 --> 00:08:24,960
Speaker 2: sure there there might be. We got a lot of

179
00:08:25,000 --> 00:08:27,400
Speaker 2: guys former Tennessee people in this in this building, so

180
00:08:28,400 --> 00:08:30,520
Speaker 2: there'll be a little bit extra for them. But players,

181
00:08:30,520 --> 00:08:31,880
Speaker 2: we just we got to show up and execute.

182
00:08:32,960 --> 00:08:37,080
Speaker 6: Yeah, thanks guys, going on, how are we doing?

183
00:08:37,640 --> 00:08:38,400
Speaker 2: Good? Good? Good?

184
00:08:40,720 --> 00:08:43,000
Speaker 6: I don't feel to get your first image felt great,

185
00:08:43,120 --> 00:08:45,480
Speaker 6: you know, just get out there, get things wrong.

186
00:08:46,400 --> 00:08:48,320
Speaker 7: So anything I can do to health of team. It's

187
00:08:48,360 --> 00:08:49,200
Speaker 7: pretty special though.

188
00:08:52,520 --> 00:08:54,760
Speaker 5: You've been out there in so many games working out,

189
00:08:55,200 --> 00:08:56,280
Speaker 5: you knowing you can.

190
00:08:56,200 --> 00:08:58,160
Speaker 1: Out, you're gonna get out, and then you get.

191
00:08:57,960 --> 00:09:01,920
Speaker 5: Out and get guess you know you're wrong with your mindset,

192
00:09:02,040 --> 00:09:04,120
Speaker 5: like in those pre game hours.

193
00:09:04,320 --> 00:09:05,080
Speaker 1: Before that month.

194
00:09:05,679 --> 00:09:07,560
Speaker 6: Yeah, I think that's kind of why I like to

195
00:09:07,559 --> 00:09:10,160
Speaker 6: go out there early, even when I'm maybe not going

196
00:09:10,200 --> 00:09:11,560
Speaker 6: to be suiting. It was just like to get my

197
00:09:11,600 --> 00:09:13,520
Speaker 6: mind right to prepare like I'm going to play. So

198
00:09:13,559 --> 00:09:16,839
Speaker 6: then like when tomorrow like or when the day comes

199
00:09:16,840 --> 00:09:19,719
Speaker 6: like it was yesterday, I know that I'm prepared and

200
00:09:19,760 --> 00:09:21,880
Speaker 6: I know that I'm ready to go. And that continues

201
00:09:21,960 --> 00:09:23,800
Speaker 6: to stick with the process I've been doing.

202
00:09:24,520 --> 00:09:27,120
Speaker 5: How much could return experience did you have before yesterday?

203
00:09:27,120 --> 00:09:28,400
Speaker 5: And when did you find out that you were going

204
00:09:28,440 --> 00:09:29,360
Speaker 5: to be getting those duties?

205
00:09:29,520 --> 00:09:31,600
Speaker 6: Yeah, did it a little bit early on in the week.

206
00:09:32,080 --> 00:09:34,320
Speaker 6: That definitely did a little bit of reps in college.

207
00:09:34,360 --> 00:09:36,080
Speaker 6: My first couple of years in high school did it too,

208
00:09:36,120 --> 00:09:38,880
Speaker 6: So it wasn't something totally new to me. I've done

209
00:09:38,920 --> 00:09:40,520
Speaker 6: it before, and then kind of just go out there

210
00:09:40,520 --> 00:09:42,280
Speaker 6: and be a ball player. You know, it's all football

211
00:09:42,280 --> 00:09:44,000
Speaker 6: at the end of the day. You know, just make

212
00:09:44,040 --> 00:09:46,120
Speaker 6: sure you make good decisions back there and then try

213
00:09:46,160 --> 00:09:47,360
Speaker 6: to get the ball back to the offense.

214
00:09:48,280 --> 00:09:50,080
Speaker 5: When did it hit you on Sunday that you're about

215
00:09:50,120 --> 00:09:50,600
Speaker 5: to play in an.

216
00:09:50,559 --> 00:09:54,960
Speaker 6: NFL Probably we walked in, I think, you know, walking

217
00:09:55,000 --> 00:09:58,079
Speaker 6: in then kind of just seeing like the whole environment

218
00:09:58,120 --> 00:09:58,480
Speaker 6: and everything.

219
00:09:58,480 --> 00:09:59,520
Speaker 7: It was pretty surreal. You know.

220
00:09:59,559 --> 00:10:02,480
Speaker 6: I feel like the preseason was awesome, you know, to

221
00:10:02,520 --> 00:10:04,680
Speaker 6: get those reps and to get my mind right that way,

222
00:10:04,720 --> 00:10:07,280
Speaker 6: but then you know, just to kind of get that

223
00:10:07,320 --> 00:10:09,160
Speaker 6: opportunity and go out there and help the team.

224
00:10:10,520 --> 00:10:12,240
Speaker 7: Any way I can. It was pretty special.

225
00:10:12,480 --> 00:10:15,240
Speaker 5: You might have answer this, but when exactly need to

226
00:10:15,280 --> 00:10:16,920
Speaker 5: find out? And who told you?

227
00:10:18,280 --> 00:10:20,560
Speaker 6: I mean I had an idea during the week, but

228
00:10:20,600 --> 00:10:22,320
Speaker 6: for me, it was kind of just like I'm gonna

229
00:10:22,360 --> 00:10:24,720
Speaker 6: keep chipping away, keep chipping away, and then like Friday,

230
00:10:24,760 --> 00:10:29,040
Speaker 6: I really found out. But it was really just trying

231
00:10:29,040 --> 00:10:32,000
Speaker 6: to prepare like I was gonna be a starter every week.

232
00:10:32,000 --> 00:10:33,240
Speaker 6: That's kind of how I go about it.

233
00:10:33,440 --> 00:10:35,319
Speaker 5: How much did you hear from folks back.

234
00:10:35,160 --> 00:10:39,920
Speaker 6: On early game and I'm so my mom was actually

235
00:10:39,920 --> 00:10:42,240
Speaker 6: already planning on coming, so my dad didn't make it

236
00:10:42,320 --> 00:10:44,400
Speaker 6: just because it was such a late late notice I

237
00:10:44,440 --> 00:10:45,719
Speaker 6: told them.

238
00:10:45,760 --> 00:10:46,760
Speaker 7: But you know, it was awesome.

239
00:10:46,760 --> 00:10:48,559
Speaker 6: They all were at the house watching the game, my

240
00:10:48,640 --> 00:10:51,160
Speaker 6: dad and all his buddies, my family friends all at

241
00:10:51,160 --> 00:10:51,440
Speaker 6: the house.

242
00:10:51,440 --> 00:10:52,320
Speaker 7: So it was pretty special.

243
00:10:53,559 --> 00:10:56,040
Speaker 3: Is there anything you didn't expect in the new kickoff

244
00:10:56,080 --> 00:10:57,320
Speaker 3: format that they have in the NFL?

245
00:10:57,320 --> 00:10:58,520
Speaker 5: Anything kind of catch you off guard?

246
00:10:58,920 --> 00:11:01,719
Speaker 6: I mean, I think with first getting into like the

247
00:11:01,840 --> 00:11:03,880
Speaker 6: NFL in the preseason, like learning about it. It's all

248
00:11:03,880 --> 00:11:06,000
Speaker 6: the different rules and if it lands in the end zone,

249
00:11:06,000 --> 00:11:08,320
Speaker 6: you know, you get the ball up towards thirty five

250
00:11:08,400 --> 00:11:10,120
Speaker 6: stuff like that, Like that's all different. You know, you

251
00:11:10,160 --> 00:11:15,360
Speaker 6: got to learn those along the way. But nothing totally

252
00:11:15,400 --> 00:11:18,080
Speaker 6: that sticks out that is totally challenging and totally different.

253
00:11:18,240 --> 00:11:20,200
Speaker 7: So yeah, a little.

254
00:11:20,000 --> 00:11:23,120
Speaker 1: Tricky because they kind of hit like a little bit

255
00:11:23,120 --> 00:11:23,760
Speaker 1: of a liner rope.

256
00:11:23,800 --> 00:11:25,600
Speaker 7: It was a little tricky. It was like I feel like,

257
00:11:25,800 --> 00:11:27,600
Speaker 7: I don't know, he kind of hit like a little

258
00:11:27,640 --> 00:11:29,440
Speaker 7: dirty ball. It was a little sideway spin on it.

259
00:11:29,480 --> 00:11:31,040
Speaker 6: And then we're getting close to the end zone too,

260
00:11:31,080 --> 00:11:33,160
Speaker 6: so you know, trying to make sure you make that

261
00:11:33,200 --> 00:11:35,480
Speaker 6: good decision when you're back there too, you know, so

262
00:11:35,920 --> 00:11:38,720
Speaker 6: just kind of know if know, if if I know

263
00:11:38,760 --> 00:11:40,160
Speaker 6: it's going to go in the end zone, letting it

264
00:11:40,200 --> 00:11:41,360
Speaker 6: go in the end zone, taking.

265
00:11:41,240 --> 00:11:44,360
Speaker 1: Me coming off the goals, just.

266
00:11:43,880 --> 00:11:46,280
Speaker 6: Because you know, I was like a couple of weeks ago,

267
00:11:46,280 --> 00:11:47,880
Speaker 6: who uh someone did it?

268
00:11:47,960 --> 00:11:48,520
Speaker 7: Was the Steelers.

269
00:11:48,520 --> 00:11:50,720
Speaker 6: I think, you know, the rookie back there let it bounce.

270
00:11:51,280 --> 00:11:53,319
Speaker 6: Obviously I know that mine went out of bounce, but

271
00:11:53,360 --> 00:11:54,840
Speaker 6: he didn't, he didn't need it. And then the Seahawks

272
00:11:54,880 --> 00:11:56,800
Speaker 6: went down there and tried to get it. So shunder

273
00:11:56,840 --> 00:12:00,360
Speaker 6: everything what you employed there.

274
00:12:00,320 --> 00:12:02,160
Speaker 5: You guys for the second decision to make that kick.

275
00:12:04,679 --> 00:12:08,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, we do a good Yeah, yeah, we do.

276
00:12:08,559 --> 00:12:11,480
Speaker 6: A good job during the week, just you know, watching film,

277
00:12:11,559 --> 00:12:13,080
Speaker 6: learning what the kicker is going to do, where they

278
00:12:13,160 --> 00:12:15,880
Speaker 6: like to kick it, where to line up at. So,

279
00:12:15,960 --> 00:12:18,240
Speaker 6: you know, Coach springing a great job helping me prepare

280
00:12:18,280 --> 00:12:20,480
Speaker 6: this week to to line me up in a good

281
00:12:20,480 --> 00:12:22,440
Speaker 6: spot to make the best decisions possible out there.

282
00:12:25,520 --> 00:12:25,679
Speaker 3: Time.

283
00:12:26,040 --> 00:12:28,280
Speaker 6: Oh, it's been awesome, I think, especially early on in

284
00:12:28,280 --> 00:12:29,800
Speaker 6: the week when I found out I was going to

285
00:12:29,880 --> 00:12:32,920
Speaker 6: like start to become doing this as a as a

286
00:12:32,920 --> 00:12:36,720
Speaker 6: new role totally, just you know, meeting with him after practice,

287
00:12:36,760 --> 00:12:37,880
Speaker 6: seeing like what do you think here?

288
00:12:37,920 --> 00:12:38,520
Speaker 7: What do you think here?

289
00:12:38,559 --> 00:12:40,760
Speaker 6: And then he's given me extra things to go watch

290
00:12:40,760 --> 00:12:43,720
Speaker 6: so on the iPad, watching different teams do different things

291
00:12:43,760 --> 00:12:46,400
Speaker 6: just to kind of build my confidence in myself. And

292
00:12:46,440 --> 00:12:48,520
Speaker 6: then he had total belief in me, he told me

293
00:12:48,559 --> 00:12:50,360
Speaker 6: a bunch of times this week, So it was pretty special.

294
00:12:50,760 --> 00:12:52,960
Speaker 1: I wouldn't have been working on his last couple of weeks.

295
00:12:53,000 --> 00:12:54,320
Speaker 1: And how much to feel like you've grown?

296
00:12:54,760 --> 00:12:56,920
Speaker 6: Yeah, I feel like I've you know, growing every day

297
00:12:56,960 --> 00:13:01,080
Speaker 6: I think obviously, always working on just my blocking, my route,

298
00:13:01,120 --> 00:13:03,640
Speaker 6: running my whatever I can each and every day. And

299
00:13:03,679 --> 00:13:06,120
Speaker 6: then you know, it's such a blessing just to go

300
00:13:06,200 --> 00:13:09,320
Speaker 6: against uh, you know, some of the best guys in

301
00:13:09,360 --> 00:13:11,560
Speaker 6: the National Football League every day, you know, being on

302
00:13:11,640 --> 00:13:15,319
Speaker 6: scout team with that mean c D Marcus Jones, Christian Gonzalez,

303
00:13:15,440 --> 00:13:17,000
Speaker 6: like all those guys out there. You know, those are

304
00:13:17,600 --> 00:13:20,240
Speaker 6: invaluable reps that I don't take for granted that just

305
00:13:20,280 --> 00:13:21,800
Speaker 6: continue to get.

306
00:13:21,600 --> 00:13:22,560
Speaker 7: Better each and every day.

307
00:13:23,200 --> 00:13:25,160
Speaker 4: It's been a challenge at all for you have to,

308
00:13:25,480 --> 00:13:28,760
Speaker 4: you know, to not be as big a contributor offensively

309
00:13:28,800 --> 00:13:30,400
Speaker 4: as you know, with the course of your life, I'm

310
00:13:30,400 --> 00:13:32,160
Speaker 4: sure you used to play a lot offensive football, so

311
00:13:32,679 --> 00:13:33,240
Speaker 4: how difficult.

312
00:13:33,240 --> 00:13:35,280
Speaker 1: Maybe he hasn't been to to kind of buy your time.

313
00:13:35,400 --> 00:13:37,640
Speaker 7: Yeah, I think, you know, every rookie is kind of

314
00:13:38,000 --> 00:13:38,760
Speaker 7: navigating that.

315
00:13:38,840 --> 00:13:40,960
Speaker 6: But I think for me, like whatever I can do

316
00:13:41,000 --> 00:13:43,920
Speaker 6: to help the team, and I know that sometimes that's

317
00:13:43,960 --> 00:13:46,240
Speaker 6: during the week, you know, maybe it's not on Sundays,

318
00:13:46,240 --> 00:13:48,080
Speaker 6: but I know I'm helping the team anyway I can,

319
00:13:48,120 --> 00:13:51,280
Speaker 6: and definitely just trying to learn learn the ways of

320
00:13:51,720 --> 00:13:53,199
Speaker 6: you know, some of the guys have done them before

321
00:13:53,240 --> 00:13:56,480
Speaker 6: and their process and how you know it's not all

322
00:13:56,520 --> 00:13:58,680
Speaker 6: going to happen overnight, so kind of just continue to

323
00:13:58,440 --> 00:14:00,280
Speaker 6: stick with the stick with the process.

324
00:14:00,520 --> 00:14:04,120
Speaker 5: How do you balance giving your defense a good look,

325
00:14:04,240 --> 00:14:08,600
Speaker 5: mimicking maybe the movements the route running of somebody on the.

326
00:14:08,559 --> 00:14:11,440
Speaker 3: Other team, you play with your own work and try

327
00:14:11,480 --> 00:14:14,920
Speaker 3: to grasp the offense and improve in the Patriots.

328
00:14:14,760 --> 00:14:17,240
Speaker 6: Yeah, I think, you know, we do a good job

329
00:14:17,280 --> 00:14:19,000
Speaker 6: watching kind of the film early on in the week,

330
00:14:19,080 --> 00:14:22,320
Speaker 6: seeing what they're gonna do. You know, if that was

331
00:14:22,360 --> 00:14:25,080
Speaker 6: like the Dolphins offense, you know, making sure that we're

332
00:14:25,120 --> 00:14:28,960
Speaker 6: running the right thing. So kind of doing things allowing

333
00:14:28,960 --> 00:14:30,560
Speaker 6: the defense to see how they're gonna do stuff.

334
00:14:30,600 --> 00:14:32,680
Speaker 7: But then also it kind of gives us a little.

335
00:14:32,480 --> 00:14:35,720
Speaker 6: Bit of freedom to try things that they're doing at

336
00:14:35,760 --> 00:14:38,360
Speaker 6: Like maybe I wouldn't try this release, but I see

337
00:14:38,360 --> 00:14:40,320
Speaker 6: that on film they do this type of really so

338
00:14:40,440 --> 00:14:42,160
Speaker 6: just trying to kind of get in that, try to

339
00:14:42,200 --> 00:14:44,480
Speaker 6: add new things to different.

340
00:14:44,280 --> 00:14:46,520
Speaker 7: Packages stuff like that. So it's it's pretty cool.

341
00:14:46,840 --> 00:14:48,680
Speaker 3: Is there anything from one of those receivers that you've

342
00:14:48,680 --> 00:14:50,640
Speaker 3: helped emulate that you've actually added to your game?

343
00:14:51,200 --> 00:14:51,960
Speaker 7: Yeah, I think.

344
00:14:53,280 --> 00:14:55,880
Speaker 6: Just like the whole the whole Panthers, we was pretty

345
00:14:55,920 --> 00:14:58,560
Speaker 6: cool just kind of seeing like Hunter Renfro's route tree.

346
00:14:58,800 --> 00:15:01,600
Speaker 7: I know that's gonna be like kind of a comparison whatever, but.

347
00:15:02,440 --> 00:15:04,000
Speaker 6: It was cool just to kind of see, you know,

348
00:15:04,000 --> 00:15:05,840
Speaker 6: their offense stuff like that. Like I said, the Dolphins

349
00:15:05,960 --> 00:15:08,640
Speaker 6: was pretty cool, just the different motions and stuff they have.

350
00:15:08,800 --> 00:15:11,480
Speaker 6: But I think every week, I'm always just kind of

351
00:15:11,480 --> 00:15:13,280
Speaker 6: trying to learn something, trying to get better each and

352
00:15:13,280 --> 00:15:13,720
Speaker 6: every day.

353
00:15:14,400 --> 00:15:15,080
Speaker 5: You learned from.

354
00:15:14,960 --> 00:15:17,600
Speaker 1: Guys like where you learn from guys like Diggs and Matt.

355
00:15:17,400 --> 00:15:19,760
Speaker 7: Collins, just you know how to be a leader.

356
00:15:19,800 --> 00:15:23,040
Speaker 6: Those guys are second to none with their leadership on

357
00:15:23,160 --> 00:15:25,320
Speaker 6: and off the field, and you know I have the

358
00:15:25,360 --> 00:15:28,680
Speaker 6: most respect for those guys, everyone in that room. Honestly,

359
00:15:28,760 --> 00:15:30,800
Speaker 6: you know, those guys have brought me under their wing

360
00:15:30,840 --> 00:15:32,760
Speaker 6: and just allowed me to continue to get better and better,

361
00:15:32,760 --> 00:15:34,640
Speaker 6: and they got believed in me, and you know I

362
00:15:34,680 --> 00:15:36,040
Speaker 6: appreciate them tremendously
