1
00:00:02,200 --> 00:00:09,680
Speaker 1: Bear with me, all right, go ahead, sorry fell to

2
00:00:09,800 --> 00:00:15,000
Speaker 1: name the captain season. Yeah, I think it's really cool.

3
00:00:15,040 --> 00:00:17,040
Speaker 1: I think, you know, I have a lot of work

4
00:00:17,040 --> 00:00:19,840
Speaker 1: to do. Um. I want to become an even better leader,

5
00:00:19,880 --> 00:00:22,160
Speaker 1: and I think we have great guys around us that

6
00:00:22,280 --> 00:00:26,520
Speaker 1: make everything better. So great coaches, great organization, and we

7
00:00:26,640 --> 00:00:28,600
Speaker 1: just got to build. And I'm going to learn from

8
00:00:28,640 --> 00:00:30,560
Speaker 1: the older guys like I did, you know when I

9
00:00:30,600 --> 00:00:33,040
Speaker 1: first got here, and continue to do that and hopefully

10
00:00:33,040 --> 00:00:35,279
Speaker 1: some of the younger guys can come to me with

11
00:00:35,840 --> 00:00:37,680
Speaker 1: what did that be? Issues and things that they want

12
00:00:37,720 --> 00:00:39,760
Speaker 1: to get fixed or things that they're struggling with, and

13
00:00:39,800 --> 00:00:42,839
Speaker 1: I'll be happy to help anybody on our team. I

14
00:00:42,920 --> 00:00:44,959
Speaker 1: know you said going into the off season that kind

15
00:00:44,960 --> 00:00:46,960
Speaker 1: of taken on a more active leadership role was one

16
00:00:47,000 --> 00:00:49,800
Speaker 1: of your goals that do you feel like you're able

17
00:00:49,800 --> 00:00:52,080
Speaker 1: to be kind of more comfortable in that role of

18
00:00:52,120 --> 00:00:54,600
Speaker 1: those responsibilities now in your second year. I mean, titles

19
00:00:54,600 --> 00:00:57,400
Speaker 1: are titles. I think really good leaders lead no matter

20
00:00:57,480 --> 00:01:00,400
Speaker 1: what if they're the number one guy or not, doesn't matter.

21
00:01:00,440 --> 00:01:04,040
Speaker 1: They're good leaders. And I think it's great. But you

22
00:01:04,120 --> 00:01:06,360
Speaker 1: just got to be yourself and that's what is important

23
00:01:06,360 --> 00:01:09,160
Speaker 1: to me. Is just being myself and I'm plenty good

24
00:01:09,240 --> 00:01:10,880
Speaker 1: enough and I just need to continue to grow and

25
00:01:11,640 --> 00:01:13,160
Speaker 1: try and figure out how to get better as a

26
00:01:13,200 --> 00:01:15,160
Speaker 1: player and as a leader and a person and all

27
00:01:15,200 --> 00:01:18,200
Speaker 1: that stuff. So it comes with time and experience and

28
00:01:18,600 --> 00:01:23,760
Speaker 1: learning lessons. An How important is it to start fast one,

29
00:01:24,360 --> 00:01:26,559
Speaker 1: I don't know. Yeah, I think it's important. I think

30
00:01:27,640 --> 00:01:29,839
Speaker 1: sometimes game one there's a lot of emotion and stuff

31
00:01:29,840 --> 00:01:33,160
Speaker 1: and it's hard to um. You want to focus more

32
00:01:33,200 --> 00:01:35,120
Speaker 1: on the details of the plays and everything like that

33
00:01:35,160 --> 00:01:37,399
Speaker 1: and let the emotions come and go. And that's how

34
00:01:37,400 --> 00:01:40,000
Speaker 1: emotions are. They come and go and energy and all

35
00:01:40,040 --> 00:01:42,600
Speaker 1: that will be there. And at the end of the day,

36
00:01:42,640 --> 00:01:45,160
Speaker 1: it's it's just the start of something and you got

37
00:01:45,160 --> 00:01:47,280
Speaker 1: to learn from it and grow regardless of the results.

38
00:01:47,280 --> 00:01:49,480
Speaker 1: So we're gonna go out there and compete and see

39
00:01:49,480 --> 00:01:51,360
Speaker 1: how it goes. And that's all that you can ask

40
00:01:51,360 --> 00:01:56,520
Speaker 1: for through the process each day, coach the check. What

41
00:01:56,680 --> 00:01:59,680
Speaker 1: are some examples of ways in which his coaching experience

42
00:02:00,320 --> 00:02:02,440
Speaker 1: show up to you. Yeah, I think he's done a

43
00:02:02,440 --> 00:02:05,840
Speaker 1: great job just explaining everything to me, um from his

44
00:02:06,000 --> 00:02:08,280
Speaker 1: standpoint of view, and that's he's seen a lot of

45
00:02:08,280 --> 00:02:10,959
Speaker 1: football and whether that be a certain route or a

46
00:02:11,000 --> 00:02:14,240
Speaker 1: certain defense or a certain run. He's very good about

47
00:02:14,639 --> 00:02:17,280
Speaker 1: understanding how to see it through my eyes, but also

48
00:02:17,360 --> 00:02:20,000
Speaker 1: how he sees it. And he's a really smart guy,

49
00:02:20,080 --> 00:02:22,600
Speaker 1: and um, we're both smart, and we both can come

50
00:02:22,639 --> 00:02:25,480
Speaker 1: together and come to a conclusion that you know, this

51
00:02:25,520 --> 00:02:27,240
Speaker 1: is why you want to do this play and he

52
00:02:27,320 --> 00:02:29,000
Speaker 1: explains it and then I got to go execute it.

53
00:02:29,040 --> 00:02:31,959
Speaker 1: So I've been really comfortable with that how through either

54
00:02:32,080 --> 00:02:34,640
Speaker 1: time for he might pull up a play yeah, from

55
00:02:34,639 --> 00:02:37,560
Speaker 1: possibly even like before you were born. Yeah. Yeah, it

56
00:02:37,600 --> 00:02:39,840
Speaker 1: happens all the time. I mean he'll show it in

57
00:02:39,960 --> 00:02:42,600
Speaker 1: squad or even just on you know, like this play

58
00:02:42,639 --> 00:02:44,639
Speaker 1: has been around forever. It's not just a new play

59
00:02:44,760 --> 00:02:47,280
Speaker 1: or anything. And it's always good to learn from experience

60
00:02:47,320 --> 00:02:48,920
Speaker 1: and seeing it on film. So that's one of the

61
00:02:48,960 --> 00:02:55,880
Speaker 1: things that I like best. Wouldn't eat as the last

62
00:02:55,880 --> 00:02:58,320
Speaker 1: twenty five years and he's gone and it has been

63
00:02:58,360 --> 00:03:01,320
Speaker 1: real concrete replacement and yet an offense to one six

64
00:03:01,320 --> 00:03:03,840
Speaker 1: Super Bowls. If you guys are pivoting a bit from

65
00:03:04,080 --> 00:03:06,120
Speaker 1: is it hard to maintain or how hard has it

66
00:03:06,200 --> 00:03:08,840
Speaker 1: been to maintain the optimism you've shown when there's so

67
00:03:08,919 --> 00:03:14,400
Speaker 1: much uncertainty I think there's the uncertainty just has to

68
00:03:14,400 --> 00:03:16,520
Speaker 1: clear itself up. I think that's just a mentality. And

69
00:03:17,080 --> 00:03:18,919
Speaker 1: I think it's all about getting in the right spot

70
00:03:18,919 --> 00:03:21,880
Speaker 1: and having confidence in one another. And we've done that,

71
00:03:22,040 --> 00:03:25,440
Speaker 1: and sometimes it doesn't. It's not gonna be a perfect

72
00:03:25,480 --> 00:03:27,480
Speaker 1: clean picture right off the bat when something's new a

73
00:03:27,520 --> 00:03:29,480
Speaker 1: little bit. But I feel like we've made really good

74
00:03:29,480 --> 00:03:33,359
Speaker 1: strides in practice in the games, even when you really

75
00:03:33,360 --> 00:03:35,800
Speaker 1: watch the tape to see how close we are, and um,

76
00:03:35,880 --> 00:03:37,840
Speaker 1: we're just excited to get out there and put it

77
00:03:37,840 --> 00:03:40,280
Speaker 1: on tape and so we can do and adjust and

78
00:03:40,680 --> 00:03:42,480
Speaker 1: just play for one another. That's all. It comes down

79
00:03:42,520 --> 00:03:44,240
Speaker 1: to the xs and o's or the x and os.

80
00:03:44,320 --> 00:03:47,320
Speaker 1: But if we play for one another, then good things

81
00:03:47,320 --> 00:03:50,720
Speaker 1: can happen. To make that shit am like killing anybody else.

82
00:03:51,320 --> 00:03:54,080
Speaker 1: All Right, you must have to make a conscious decision. Look,

83
00:03:54,120 --> 00:03:56,440
Speaker 1: I'm gonna flick on the optimism. I'm not gonna be

84
00:03:56,960 --> 00:03:59,480
Speaker 1: I mean, it's probably an important thing to do every day. Yeah,

85
00:03:59,480 --> 00:04:02,640
Speaker 1: I think anything you do, you try to be positive

86
00:04:02,680 --> 00:04:07,120
Speaker 1: and optimistic and just figure out the solution to the issue.

87
00:04:07,160 --> 00:04:10,120
Speaker 1: That's what every good problem solver goes, is there's an

88
00:04:10,160 --> 00:04:12,400
Speaker 1: issue or something that doesn't make sense and then they

89
00:04:12,440 --> 00:04:14,400
Speaker 1: find a way to fix it. So that's kind of

90
00:04:14,400 --> 00:04:16,040
Speaker 1: what we're doing, and I feel really good if where

91
00:04:16,040 --> 00:04:18,320
Speaker 1: we're at and just kind of do it today really

92
00:04:18,400 --> 00:04:20,880
Speaker 1: is where it starts. So have a good day to day. Cool.

93
00:04:20,920 --> 00:04:21,479
Speaker 1: Thanks yess
