1
00:00:00,320 --> 00:00:11,719
Speaker 1: Much different. I think it's big, um, just to be

2
00:00:11,760 --> 00:00:15,120
Speaker 1: able to have that experience. It's a different type of competition,

3
00:00:15,640 --> 00:00:17,400
Speaker 1: um than than going to get your team all the time.

4
00:00:17,400 --> 00:00:19,840
Speaker 1: It's just kind of diversified the competition, which is always

5
00:00:19,840 --> 00:00:22,880
Speaker 1: great for you. So I'm looking forward to it. Do

6

7
00:00:30,880 --> 00:00:35,239

8
00:00:35,240 --> 00:00:37,920
Speaker 1: me learn quicker. Um, It'll give me more more things

9
00:00:37,920 --> 00:00:40,320
Speaker 1: to look at, uh, more mistakes to be made, you know,

10
00:00:40,400 --> 00:00:44,160
Speaker 1: more looks at different defenses or different offenses and everything

11
00:00:44,200 --> 00:00:46,400
Speaker 1: different players. So I think it'll be helpful in every way.

12
00:00:47,880 --> 00:00:50,280
Speaker 1: How much you looking forward to the opportunity to go

13
00:00:50,360 --> 00:00:52,240
Speaker 1: and be together as a team and go through that hole,

14
00:00:52,880 --> 00:00:54,520
Speaker 1: just to get a couple of days together to get

15
00:00:54,560 --> 00:00:57,200
Speaker 1: some some bonding the world. I'm looking forward to it

16
00:00:57,480 --> 00:01:00,440
Speaker 1: so much. It's just like I said, it's uh, anytime

17
00:01:00,440 --> 00:01:02,840
Speaker 1: you can kind of go go to war with your brothers,

18
00:01:02,960 --> 00:01:04,920
Speaker 1: you know, team versus team. I think it is always great.

19
00:01:05,120 --> 00:01:07,440
Speaker 1: The competition would be fun, so looking forward to it.

20
00:01:09,880 --> 00:01:12,800
Speaker 1: They're competitive. I heard their competitive. Um. I heard they're

21
00:01:12,840 --> 00:01:16,640
Speaker 1: fun because of the competition, and I heard their you know,

22
00:01:16,760 --> 00:01:19,600
Speaker 1: just the aggressive it. It's a good experience. So I've

23
00:01:19,600 --> 00:01:26,120
Speaker 1: heard a lot of good things. Conversation it was, it

24
00:01:26,160 --> 00:01:29,240
Speaker 1: was humbling, it was um, it was a great feeling

25
00:01:29,280 --> 00:01:31,480
Speaker 1: just being able to go talk to Pat and and

26
00:01:31,520 --> 00:01:33,319
Speaker 1: have him give me the green light to better do

27
00:01:33,360 --> 00:01:35,759
Speaker 1: that and we're it after after he did ward so

28
00:01:35,760 --> 00:01:38,280
Speaker 1: so greatly for the for the years. So um, it

29
00:01:38,319 --> 00:01:40,640
Speaker 1: was it was a big, comfortable conversation, a great conversation

30
00:01:40,640 --> 00:01:50,400
Speaker 1: I had with him, and humbling. Uh, it was always

31
00:01:50,400 --> 00:01:53,320
Speaker 1: a push. Um that didn't really make any difference than

32
00:01:53,360 --> 00:01:56,960
Speaker 1: I think he knows how bad I want to, you know,

33
00:01:57,240 --> 00:01:59,560
Speaker 1: be a great helpful and a really good player for

34
00:01:59,600 --> 00:02:02,560
Speaker 1: this team. So um, I don't think anything has changed

35
00:02:02,600 --> 00:02:04,440
Speaker 1: as far as he just kind of reminded me, you know,

36
00:02:04,480 --> 00:02:11,160
Speaker 1: what it meant and what to do with it. How

37
00:02:11,200 --> 00:02:18,440
Speaker 1: much more comfortable I said, I feel a lot more comfortable, Um,

38
00:02:18,760 --> 00:02:21,560
Speaker 1: just being able to kind of see things better and uh,

39
00:02:21,880 --> 00:02:24,400
Speaker 1: just having a voice in it and being more confident

40
00:02:24,600 --> 00:02:26,200
Speaker 1: and the things I say and what my eyes telling

41
00:02:26,240 --> 00:02:28,440
Speaker 1: me to do. So I think it's definitely a difference

42
00:02:28,440 --> 00:02:33,000
Speaker 1: between last year. Last year, you didn't have the benefit

43
00:02:33,080 --> 00:02:35,160
Speaker 1: of being able to play in any preseason game before

44
00:02:35,160 --> 00:02:38,680
Speaker 1: you right into the regular season. Just how how helpful

45
00:02:38,760 --> 00:02:41,280
Speaker 1: is that from a preparation standpoint to just be able

46
00:02:41,320 --> 00:02:44,800
Speaker 1: to go out and get those live reps exact. I

47
00:02:44,880 --> 00:02:48,240
Speaker 1: think any anytime you can get live reps uh in

48
00:02:48,320 --> 00:02:51,040
Speaker 1: a game, it's always helpful. You always going to grow

49
00:02:51,120 --> 00:02:53,520
Speaker 1: from notes where the name mistakes are good place. It's

50
00:02:53,520 --> 00:02:55,280
Speaker 1: always a growing experience. So I think it's been a

51
00:02:55,280 --> 00:02:56,480
Speaker 1: big help and I think it's going to be a

52
00:02:56,800 --> 00:02:59,200
Speaker 1: big help this year. I know you're talking about last

53
00:02:59,240 --> 00:03:02,000
Speaker 1: year about and improving in your your kind of man

54
00:03:02,280 --> 00:03:04,680
Speaker 1: covering you didn't have to do about your college. How

55
00:03:04,680 --> 00:03:06,239
Speaker 1: do you feel like that process like every time I

56
00:03:06,280 --> 00:03:09,799
Speaker 1: much your tell you like you think I think I'm

57
00:03:09,840 --> 00:03:13,640
Speaker 1: growing every day. Uh, just kind of making sure I'm

58
00:03:13,680 --> 00:03:15,680
Speaker 1: you know, paying attention to my technique and what the

59
00:03:15,680 --> 00:03:19,280
Speaker 1: coaches are telling me to do and really just continue

60
00:03:19,280 --> 00:03:21,680
Speaker 1: to press um and work on that every day and

61
00:03:21,680 --> 00:03:23,960
Speaker 1: make sure my focus is locked in on technique and

62
00:03:23,960 --> 00:03:27,440
Speaker 1: things like that. How do you work on that the

63
00:03:27,520 --> 00:03:31,960
Speaker 1: kind of process like for ever? Uh, just repetition, repetition

64
00:03:32,000 --> 00:03:35,920
Speaker 1: and one on one and team um individual and making

65
00:03:35,960 --> 00:03:38,480
Speaker 1: sure that you know, I'm seeing visualizing everything that like

66
00:03:38,600 --> 00:03:40,280
Speaker 1: it is going to be the game and then kind

67
00:03:40,280 --> 00:03:42,960
Speaker 1: of just going from there keeping that mentality and everything

68
00:03:43,000 --> 00:03:56,840
Speaker 1: I do, but especially the competition helpful practice. Really, it's

69
00:03:56,840 --> 00:03:59,840
Speaker 1: been super helpful. Um the god, the level that they

70
00:04:00,040 --> 00:04:04,840
Speaker 1: play at our tight ends, there's not too many better

71
00:04:05,360 --> 00:04:07,720
Speaker 1: in uh. In the ways that they do things, running

72
00:04:07,760 --> 00:04:10,040
Speaker 1: routes and the way they're running man, just the physicality

73
00:04:10,040 --> 00:04:12,280
Speaker 1: everything they bring to the table, it's been really helpful.

74
00:04:12,280 --> 00:04:14,480
Speaker 1: And stay play at a high level. So it's been

75
00:04:14,520 --> 00:04:19,240
