1 00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:02,360 Speaker 1: Okay, talk about I guess you know, what's the possibility 2 00:00:02,400 --> 00:00:05,800 Speaker 1: of playing Sunday in a hostile and vironments like Philadelphia 3 00:00:05,840 --> 00:00:08,880 Speaker 1: with they have colors and fans play that. Yeah. Yeah, Um, 4 00:00:09,080 --> 00:00:11,160 Speaker 1: you know heard you know a lot about the environment, 5 00:00:11,200 --> 00:00:13,400 Speaker 1: you know, and for me, it's just you know, preparation 6 00:00:13,440 --> 00:00:15,680 Speaker 1: and make sure everybody's on the same page. So uh, 7 00:00:15,680 --> 00:00:17,599 Speaker 1: it really is just going out and executing, you know, 8 00:00:17,640 --> 00:00:19,720 Speaker 1: whatever the plan is and just trying to tune it out. 9 00:00:19,800 --> 00:00:22,680 Speaker 1: But you can and go play football. Affiliate in command 10 00:00:22,720 --> 00:00:25,520 Speaker 1: of the label now, Yeah, learning more and more every 11 00:00:25,520 --> 00:00:29,400 Speaker 1: single day, Um, you know, spending extra time obviously, and 12 00:00:29,680 --> 00:00:32,040 Speaker 1: really just just learn everything, feeling more comfortable with the 13 00:00:32,080 --> 00:00:34,120 Speaker 1: guys and with the scheme and um, trying to put 14 00:00:34,159 --> 00:00:36,960 Speaker 1: together a good plan. Joe. It's about the difference between 15 00:00:37,120 --> 00:00:38,400 Speaker 1: going in and then you know, at the end of 16 00:00:38,400 --> 00:00:40,720 Speaker 1: the game in a two minutes where they're obviously Kenny 17 00:00:40,760 --> 00:00:42,560 Speaker 1: said to play a lot of his own prevent type 18 00:00:42,600 --> 00:00:45,479 Speaker 1: deal and then having to go start. So what are 19 00:00:45,520 --> 00:00:48,839 Speaker 1: your expectations if you're in that situation. What's the biggest 20 00:00:48,840 --> 00:00:51,479 Speaker 1: difference that you're expecting. Yeah, I mean for me, I 21 00:00:51,760 --> 00:00:54,520 Speaker 1: can't control you know what situation you know you you 22 00:00:54,640 --> 00:00:56,640 Speaker 1: get in. So for me it's just really what what's 23 00:00:56,680 --> 00:01:00,200 Speaker 1: the play and just going executing you know if you know, uh, 24 00:01:00,280 --> 00:01:01,920 Speaker 1: you know, so two minute drives, two minute drive, let's 25 00:01:01,920 --> 00:01:03,840 Speaker 1: go out scos you can get points, so you know, 26 00:01:04,440 --> 00:01:06,160 Speaker 1: ultimately the goal is the same, you know, go out 27 00:01:06,240 --> 00:01:08,200 Speaker 1: score points. Um, but you know how you do it 28 00:01:08,240 --> 00:01:11,120 Speaker 1: may change. So um for me, just understanding. You know, 29 00:01:11,240 --> 00:01:14,080 Speaker 1: different situations call for different scheme and um. At the 30 00:01:14,160 --> 00:01:17,360 Speaker 1: end of the day, it's execution, score points. You've never 31 00:01:17,400 --> 00:01:20,880 Speaker 1: seen before that yes and no, yes and no. Just 32 00:01:21,120 --> 00:01:23,280 Speaker 1: you know, prepare, prepare the best you can and you 33 00:01:23,319 --> 00:01:24,080 Speaker 1: at the end of the day, you have to be 34 00:01:24,080 --> 00:01:25,759 Speaker 1: a football player and see if you see and entrust 35 00:01:25,800 --> 00:01:28,360 Speaker 1: your eyes and um, you know, make plays. You know, 36 00:01:28,480 --> 00:01:31,400 Speaker 1: I post out. What do you expect to learn who's 37 00:01:31,440 --> 00:01:34,640 Speaker 1: starting on something?

Um, is that minimized? That 81 00:03:19,800 --> 00:03:21,160 Speaker 1: all you think? You know? I mean people look at 82 00:03:21,200 --> 00:03:22,680 Speaker 1: you and say, he's not the biggest guy. Maybe you 83 00:03:22,680 --> 00:03:25,000 Speaker 1: can't throw at eighty yards, but you know the fact 84 00:03:25,040 --> 00:03:27,400 Speaker 1: that you wanted a high level of college. You know 85 00:03:27,600 --> 00:03:30,280 Speaker 1: that nothing is really too big for you here. Um, 86 00:03:30,560 --> 00:03:32,880 Speaker 1: I would say, you know, I'm very confident myself and 87 00:03:32,680 --> 00:03:35,720 Speaker 1: what I can do. Um, you know, winning football games. 88 00:03:35,800 --> 00:03:38,080 Speaker 1: Winning football games sometimes you know, maybe pretty may not 89 00:03:38,120 --> 00:03:41,120 Speaker 1: be within the day. All that matters of w in 90 00:03:41,160 --> 00:03:43,240 Speaker 1: the column. And um, however we can do it how 91 00:03:43,560 --> 00:03:46,040 Speaker 1: you know it happens. Let's just go do it.

Anyway, I know it was an important moment 96 00:03:54,680 --> 00:03:57,920 Speaker 1: for you. Um, did you Kenny said you played with 97 00:03:57,920 --> 00:04:00,880 Speaker 1: a little little bit of fearlessness? Is is you? Is that? 98 00:04:01,040 --> 00:04:02,839 Speaker 1: Is that? Is that you as a player or where 99 00:04:02,840 --> 00:04:04,840 Speaker 1: do you think that would change if you were the starter? 100 00:04:05,880 --> 00:04:08,120 Speaker 1: I don't think it would change. I think you know, 101 00:04:08,240 --> 00:04:09,960 Speaker 1: you have to have trust and confidence and you know 102 00:04:09,960 --> 00:04:11,880 Speaker 1: the guys around you.
