1
00:00:00,520 --> 00:00:01,640
Speaker 1: What do you think when you're out there and you

2
00:00:01,639 --> 00:00:05,640
Speaker 1: hear people chanting the MP pick yet Um that's uh,

3
00:00:05,720 --> 00:00:08,920
Speaker 1: that's the first I've never really heard that chain before. Um.

4
00:00:08,960 --> 00:00:10,720
Speaker 1: You know, I'm just grateful for the fan to come

5
00:00:10,720 --> 00:00:13,880
Speaker 1: out on social port. Just fun being out there playing

6
00:00:13,920 --> 00:00:16,960
Speaker 1: football again. Um. Obviously you get to interact with the

7
00:00:17,000 --> 00:00:20,400
Speaker 1: fans and sign stuff for them, especially little kids and um,

8
00:00:20,440 --> 00:00:22,640
Speaker 1: but yeah, the m v P chant that's cool and all.

9
00:00:22,680 --> 00:00:24,200
Speaker 1: But I was just more happy to be out there

10
00:00:24,200 --> 00:00:26,759
Speaker 1: with my teammates and uh kick to season all. Do

11
00:00:26,800 --> 00:00:29,960
Speaker 1: you think that possibility? Do you think that's a possibility.

12
00:00:30,560 --> 00:00:33,120
Speaker 1: I think anything that's possible. Um, you know, I'm a

13
00:00:33,159 --> 00:00:36,120
Speaker 1: big believing that. But my mindset is uh not just

14
00:00:36,200 --> 00:00:38,199
Speaker 1: that Trophia. Obviously, I'm not gonna sit here and be

15
00:00:38,200 --> 00:00:39,240
Speaker 1: like I don't want to win the m v P.

16
00:00:39,760 --> 00:00:41,800
Speaker 1: I don't want to win this and win that. But

17
00:00:42,120 --> 00:00:43,840
Speaker 1: I'm a big believe I take it a little things

18
00:00:43,840 --> 00:00:46,839
Speaker 1: and focus on team first and team first mentality. All

19
00:00:46,880 --> 00:00:48,920
Speaker 1: the individual wars would come take care of stuff. Speaking

20
00:00:48,960 --> 00:00:50,640
Speaker 1: of the the little things, you talked to us about getting

21
00:00:50,640 --> 00:00:52,080
Speaker 1: through the mesh quick or if that was something they

22
00:00:52,080 --> 00:00:54,000
Speaker 1: wanted to work on in the second half. Is there

23
00:00:53,800 --> 00:00:56,520
Speaker 1: a goal that you have, whether it's a little thing

24
00:00:56,800 --> 00:00:59,760
Speaker 1: or an individual goal for this year? Yeah, right now,

25
00:01:00,440 --> 00:01:02,880
Speaker 1: my little main go for me, but my always my

26
00:01:02,960 --> 00:01:04,640
Speaker 1: main goal is come and take care of little things.

27
00:01:04,680 --> 00:01:07,480
Speaker 1: But right now I'm trying to, like I understand the

28
00:01:07,560 --> 00:01:09,560
Speaker 1: blocking scheme, but you know, obviously with the shifts and

29
00:01:09,680 --> 00:01:11,959
Speaker 1: movements before we say hike, I'm trying to be able

30
00:01:12,000 --> 00:01:14,040
Speaker 1: to read the defense and know exactly where we're going

31
00:01:14,080 --> 00:01:17,720
Speaker 1: to block and who's my most dangerous man before watching

32
00:01:17,760 --> 00:01:20,000
Speaker 1: film on a team and understanding that it's a lot

33
00:01:20,040 --> 00:01:22,040
Speaker 1: easier um when you have a kind of got a

34
00:01:22,080 --> 00:01:24,360
Speaker 1: grasp of what's actually gonna happen. Um, But when you

35
00:01:24,400 --> 00:01:25,840
Speaker 1: go out here, you know, you really don't know what

36
00:01:25,840 --> 00:01:28,240
Speaker 1: to expect. So I'm trying to do that. Just figure

37
00:01:28,240 --> 00:01:29,800
Speaker 1: out the defense real quick and figure out what my

38
00:01:29,800 --> 00:01:32,200
Speaker 1: line is gonna do, boom, who's my guy? And try

39
00:01:32,240 --> 00:01:37,160
Speaker 1: to make make you play work instead of reacting. How

40
00:01:37,160 --> 00:01:40,600
Speaker 1: do you feel about the possibility of three carries four

41
00:01:40,640 --> 00:01:44,160
Speaker 1: hundred touches? Is there a point where you think it

42
00:01:44,240 --> 00:01:49,000
Speaker 1: might be counterproductive at all or you just no many

43
00:01:49,080 --> 00:01:51,320
Speaker 1: it comes? Yeah, um, open to as many it's come.

44
00:01:51,640 --> 00:01:54,720
Speaker 1: Uh like I said. I think I said it here before. UM,

45
00:01:54,760 --> 00:01:56,720
Speaker 1: I'm willing to take as many touches to help the

46
00:01:56,760 --> 00:01:58,960
Speaker 1: team win. UM. That's why I train. UM, that's why

47
00:01:59,000 --> 00:02:00,760
Speaker 1: I try to take care of my body. UM. That's

48
00:02:00,760 --> 00:02:03,160
Speaker 1: why I take the mindset I take in the off season. UM.

49
00:02:03,200 --> 00:02:05,520
Speaker 1: That's why I trained with guys like Ryan Flaherty. UM.

50
00:02:05,560 --> 00:02:07,760
Speaker 1: That's why I'm amazing strength staff here with coach women,

51
00:02:07,840 --> 00:02:11,360
Speaker 1: all those guys. UM. You know I understand that in

52
00:02:11,360 --> 00:02:13,800
Speaker 1: the weird tear of football. UM, that's my job and

53
00:02:13,840 --> 00:02:15,359
Speaker 1: that's the sport that I just chose to fall in

54
00:02:15,400 --> 00:02:17,560
Speaker 1: love with. UM. And I know what comes with territory.

55
00:02:17,680 --> 00:02:19,600
Speaker 1: So you know, I gotta be better as a person

56
00:02:19,639 --> 00:02:21,720
Speaker 1: and be better as taking care of my body, UM,

57
00:02:21,760 --> 00:02:24,560
Speaker 1: and be more of a professional in that area. Did

58
00:02:24,560 --> 00:02:27,239
Speaker 1: you feel it at the end of last year? You know? Um, no,

59
00:02:27,360 --> 00:02:30,840
Speaker 1: I was shipping to be honest. What I mean. You

60
00:02:30,880 --> 00:02:34,520
Speaker 1: know I feel good? UM, I felt I felt pretty good.

61
00:02:34,520 --> 00:02:36,960
Speaker 1: I mean, if you were in position to uh being

62
00:02:37,000 --> 00:02:38,680
Speaker 1: the playoffs and play more games, I know I was

63
00:02:38,680 --> 00:02:42,280
Speaker 1: more in capable. UM. But you know, UH, like I said,

64
00:02:42,320 --> 00:02:44,800
Speaker 1: I trained now and I trained all season, UM, knowing

65
00:02:45,320 --> 00:02:47,600
Speaker 1: what what's the possibility and not just talking about touches,

66
00:02:47,880 --> 00:02:50,639
Speaker 1: just to football playing a sixteen game season and if

67
00:02:50,639 --> 00:02:52,520
Speaker 1: you want to add preseason on top of that, and

68
00:02:52,560 --> 00:02:55,440
Speaker 1: then you can add playoffs in the future too. So UM,

69
00:02:55,520 --> 00:02:57,760
Speaker 1: that's that's something that I know comes with the game.

70
00:02:57,840 --> 00:03:00,639
Speaker 1: So that's why I takes responsibilities I have and try

71
00:03:00,639 --> 00:03:03,840
Speaker 1: to cheat myself to treat myself like a pro to

72
00:03:03,880 --> 00:03:08,080
Speaker 1: train with chef. Then you know, how did it go? Um? Kinda?

73
00:03:09,280 --> 00:03:13,720
Speaker 1: We started training together because we lived together in l A. Um.

74
00:03:13,960 --> 00:03:16,160
Speaker 1: So you know, we were looking both looking for houses

75
00:03:16,160 --> 00:03:18,200
Speaker 1: in l A and I found one first and he

76
00:03:18,240 --> 00:03:20,200
Speaker 1: was trying to find one and I was like, you know,

77
00:03:20,240 --> 00:03:22,680
Speaker 1: I have a room for for union family. So um,

78
00:03:22,720 --> 00:03:24,440
Speaker 1: we kind of just went together, went all in the

79
00:03:24,480 --> 00:03:28,360
Speaker 1: house with me and my my manager. Uh. And you know,

80
00:03:28,800 --> 00:03:30,839
Speaker 1: he was trained with his training in the first um,

81
00:03:30,880 --> 00:03:32,480
Speaker 1: but then like days he was coming and training me

82
00:03:32,520 --> 00:03:35,360
Speaker 1: and my training. And it's good to train with your teammates. Um.

83
00:03:35,400 --> 00:03:37,520
Speaker 1: You know, obviously you have respect for each other, but

84
00:03:37,680 --> 00:03:39,920
Speaker 1: it's a different respect. We actually living with each other

85
00:03:39,960 --> 00:03:42,480
Speaker 1: and you know, playing video games and wanted to actually

86
00:03:42,600 --> 00:03:45,240
Speaker 1: go from fighting each other to chilling to compete into

87
00:03:45,240 --> 00:03:47,680
Speaker 1: this and that like basically like a brother. Um makes

88
00:03:47,680 --> 00:03:49,480
Speaker 1: you grow and respect each other as the game so

89
00:03:49,560 --> 00:03:51,360
Speaker 1: much more, not only as a player, but as a

90
00:03:51,400 --> 00:03:53,880
Speaker 1: person to respect each other. So um, I definitely think

91
00:03:53,880 --> 00:03:56,080
Speaker 1: it was a benefit for not only us, but for

92
00:03:56,120 --> 00:04:01,720
Speaker 1: the teams. Come on, man, he came up and said that, man,

93
00:04:01,960 --> 00:04:07,560
Speaker 1: we didn't listen. That's that's thirling cheer for you. Um. Yeah,

94
00:04:07,840 --> 00:04:10,080
Speaker 1: that's what I'm saying right. Um one, if you're not cheating,

95
00:04:10,080 --> 00:04:13,400
Speaker 1: you're not trying. Um to be honest, but no, not

96
00:04:13,440 --> 00:04:17,040
Speaker 1: in racist, especially not racist. He got me in Like

97
00:04:17,680 --> 00:04:19,600
Speaker 1: I guess you can call like tear two sports like

98
00:04:19,640 --> 00:04:22,839
Speaker 1: a ping pong or a handball. For some reason, I

99
00:04:22,880 --> 00:04:25,839
Speaker 1: blame my parents. I'm not a really good tier two athlete. Um,

100
00:04:25,960 --> 00:04:28,680
Speaker 1: so he got me. He got his number there. But

101
00:04:28,960 --> 00:04:32,640
Speaker 1: if we count our reps through the summer with hill reps, sprints, um,

102
00:04:32,800 --> 00:04:35,120
Speaker 1: all those good juff, all those good stuff, I know

103
00:04:35,160 --> 00:04:37,719
Speaker 1: a hundred percent, I'm up. So um he could he

104
00:04:37,720 --> 00:04:40,600
Speaker 1: could take that to the week. No, that's what that's

105
00:04:40,600 --> 00:04:42,000
Speaker 1: what he said. All the time. He's like, if you're

106
00:04:42,040 --> 00:04:44,680
Speaker 1: running a race where they're gonna count your chest or this,

107
00:04:44,800 --> 00:04:46,640
Speaker 1: and like I don't do that, Like why would I

108
00:04:46,640 --> 00:04:48,760
Speaker 1: do that doing a race like anything, I was the

109
00:04:48,760 --> 00:04:51,440
Speaker 1: one who was running through because I know that I'm sorry,

110
00:04:51,440 --> 00:04:53,880
Speaker 1: I'm agatting. You can see you can see how passion

111
00:04:53,920 --> 00:04:56,719
Speaker 1: I'm getting about that. But UM no, it's great to

112
00:04:56,800 --> 00:04:59,120
Speaker 1: have that. Uh you know that that can that love

113
00:04:59,160 --> 00:05:02,160
Speaker 1: for each other, but also competitive nature and um we're

114
00:05:02,160 --> 00:05:04,560
Speaker 1: doing a locker room, but it brings out everybody and

115
00:05:05,279 --> 00:05:07,600
Speaker 1: when everyone's playing pining pong, or we're playing card games

116
00:05:07,640 --> 00:05:09,320
Speaker 1: or when we come out here. You know, we didn't

117
00:05:09,320 --> 00:05:11,279
Speaker 1: have that last year. We didn't have that competitive nature,

118
00:05:11,640 --> 00:05:13,680
Speaker 1: um that we have and that's why I think, you know,

119
00:05:13,720 --> 00:05:15,280
Speaker 1: I think we have a really special year. And I

120
00:05:15,320 --> 00:05:17,600
Speaker 1: think if we continue to build on that, um with

121
00:05:17,800 --> 00:05:20,160
Speaker 1: the long hard days and putting it right and focusing

122
00:05:20,160 --> 00:05:22,440
Speaker 1: on details, UM, I believe we've got been great season.

123
00:05:23,440 --> 00:05:26,000
Speaker 1: You just asked before about the chance of hearing MTP.

124
00:05:26,920 --> 00:05:29,359
Speaker 1: That's the fans are here. Obviously a lot of training

125
00:05:29,360 --> 00:05:31,080
Speaker 1: camps around the leaking there are no fans, you know,

126
00:05:31,600 --> 00:05:33,120
Speaker 1: it's just not the way it works at the Wheys

127
00:05:33,160 --> 00:05:36,760
Speaker 1: there they're close practice. I mean, do you like this environment?

128
00:05:37,040 --> 00:05:39,320
Speaker 1: Do you like you know, you like it closed and quiet,

129
00:05:39,360 --> 00:05:42,800
Speaker 1: or do you like these thenorities out there. UM No,

130
00:05:42,839 --> 00:05:45,760
Speaker 1: I think it's cool. Actually, you know, I like the

131
00:05:45,760 --> 00:05:47,800
Speaker 1: the the signing at the end, and I like the

132
00:05:47,839 --> 00:05:50,520
Speaker 1: interactions with the kids. UM, I really need to be honest.

133
00:05:50,520 --> 00:05:52,200
Speaker 1: I don't care about growing up to be honest with

134
00:05:52,320 --> 00:05:54,240
Speaker 1: like the kids and stuff like, because I know when

135
00:05:54,279 --> 00:05:55,880
Speaker 1: I was a kid, I would love to be able

136
00:05:55,920 --> 00:05:59,440
Speaker 1: to UM. You know, visit my favorite team or meet

137
00:05:59,440 --> 00:06:01,279
Speaker 1: one of my favor of players are a person I

138
00:06:01,279 --> 00:06:03,360
Speaker 1: look up to. I look up to UM. So I

139
00:06:03,360 --> 00:06:04,960
Speaker 1: think that's a neat thing that you know that we

140
00:06:05,040 --> 00:06:07,200
Speaker 1: do here and that we're able to interact interact with

141
00:06:07,200 --> 00:06:09,359
Speaker 1: the fans. So I'm on for UM. I love it

142
00:06:09,400 --> 00:06:11,640
Speaker 1: and I'm happy that day they come and show support UM.

143
00:06:11,680 --> 00:06:12,960
Speaker 1: And you also get to put on the show for

144
00:06:13,040 --> 00:06:16,360
Speaker 1: him doing doing practice. It took Daniel Jones up. We

145
00:06:16,400 --> 00:06:18,200
Speaker 1: don't get to get his first completion today, but then

146
00:06:18,200 --> 00:06:20,360
Speaker 1: he had four in a row. He's curious. You is

147
00:06:20,440 --> 00:06:22,320
Speaker 1: kind of growing into a team leader and stuff to

148
00:06:22,360 --> 00:06:25,320
Speaker 1: you go over and say something to him, or you're

149
00:06:25,360 --> 00:06:28,200
Speaker 1: not paying attention to him because you're with the running backs. Attention.

150
00:06:28,279 --> 00:06:30,560
Speaker 1: I pay attention to everything, and you know, I mean,

151
00:06:31,360 --> 00:06:34,200
Speaker 1: I don't know personally, I think I think Daniel did

152
00:06:34,360 --> 00:06:36,360
Speaker 1: did more than fine. I think we all did good

153
00:06:36,400 --> 00:06:38,320
Speaker 1: for the first day. Um, obviously has a lot of

154
00:06:38,320 --> 00:06:40,840
Speaker 1: things to grow. Um I didn't. I didn't know that

155
00:06:40,880 --> 00:06:43,560
Speaker 1: he went a long time without completion and then had

156
00:06:43,560 --> 00:06:46,080
Speaker 1: four in a row. Um, but you know, I think

157
00:06:46,120 --> 00:06:48,920
Speaker 1: that shows you know, he's he's going through adversity. You know,

158
00:06:48,960 --> 00:06:52,080
Speaker 1: he's he maybe not have having the day he wants

159
00:06:52,040 --> 00:06:54,000
Speaker 1: in the beginning, but be able to pick it up

160
00:06:54,000 --> 00:06:56,039
Speaker 1: and continue to go off strong. And UM, that's what

161
00:06:56,080 --> 00:06:57,720
Speaker 1: you want in the quarterback. That what you want all

162
00:06:57,760 --> 00:06:59,800
Speaker 1: your team and and all your players. And um, that's

163
00:06:59,800 --> 00:07:01,760
Speaker 1: why I continue to work on there's any times that

164
00:07:01,960 --> 00:07:04,080
Speaker 1: I've had a bad run. Um, you know I didn't.

165
00:07:04,720 --> 00:07:07,000
Speaker 1: I had a freaking screen today where I set a

166
00:07:07,120 --> 00:07:08,599
Speaker 1: right and kind of put us in a bad position.

167
00:07:08,960 --> 00:07:10,800
Speaker 1: But his practice, you know, that's where you learn from it,

168
00:07:10,800 --> 00:07:12,960
Speaker 1: and that's when you get better. And UM, that's why

169
00:07:13,000 --> 00:07:14,960
Speaker 1: it's called practice, so you can learn and when the

170
00:07:14,960 --> 00:07:17,600
Speaker 1: games come be more than ready to compete at a

171
00:07:17,640 --> 00:07:20,240
Speaker 1: high level. Was that the screen? That's so that was

172
00:07:20,240 --> 00:07:21,920
Speaker 1: a heck of a play man. I ain't gonna lie. Um,

173
00:07:21,920 --> 00:07:23,880
Speaker 1: we got you to credit the zoe. Uh. You know,

174
00:07:24,040 --> 00:07:26,120
Speaker 1: defense kind of gave me crap for that too, because

175
00:07:26,120 --> 00:07:28,520
Speaker 1: we're always going back and forth. But um, it was

176
00:07:28,520 --> 00:07:32,120
Speaker 1: a zero blitz. Um he's responsible for the running back

177
00:07:32,200 --> 00:07:34,320
Speaker 1: and you know I kind of just try to like

178
00:07:34,440 --> 00:07:37,200
Speaker 1: sneak him and dip outside and on the screen. Um.

179
00:07:37,240 --> 00:07:38,800
Speaker 1: But he did a great job of playing and didn't

180
00:07:38,840 --> 00:07:41,760
Speaker 1: made an unbelieving, unbelievable play. And two or three plays

181
00:07:41,760 --> 00:07:45,160
Speaker 1: before that, um, we had like a little reverse not

182
00:07:45,160 --> 00:07:47,200
Speaker 1: really reverse, but like a thing and he ran down

183
00:07:47,200 --> 00:07:49,760
Speaker 1: one of our series. UM. Really happy for that guy,

184
00:07:49,760 --> 00:07:51,160
Speaker 1: and you know, you can see the work that he

185
00:07:51,240 --> 00:07:54,280
Speaker 1: put in, and I think he's gonna have a tremendous

186
00:07:54,280 --> 00:07:55,160
Speaker 1: impact for us. It's like
