1 00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:02,280 Speaker 1: Starr, how do you feel with the increased reps a 2 00:00:02,360 --> 00:00:07,680 Speaker 1: little bit, and then you realize that the your your 3 00:00:07,720 --> 00:00:11,600 Speaker 1: importance to this offense has increased dramatically since the departure 4 00:00:11,680 --> 00:00:16,759 Speaker 1: of the otherwide receiver Ruining mentioned names. But do you 5 00:00:16,840 --> 00:00:20,160 Speaker 1: feel you feel that your your importance is increased dramatically 6 00:00:20,239 --> 00:00:23,280 Speaker 1: with his departures? Oh? Yeah, I think that's just naturally 7 00:00:23,360 --> 00:00:26,120 Speaker 1: what's gonna happen. Um, you know, it's such a big 8 00:00:26,120 --> 00:00:28,920 Speaker 1: part of this offense. And uh, I guess I'm the 9 00:00:29,000 --> 00:00:31,840 Speaker 1: next one up in line. And um, we also have 10 00:00:31,880 --> 00:00:33,480 Speaker 1: a lot of great other guys that can make plays 11 00:00:33,479 --> 00:00:36,120 Speaker 1: as well. So Golden Tate has been looking great out 12 00:00:36,120 --> 00:00:39,400 Speaker 1: there in practice and uh Cody Lattimer had some great 13 00:00:39,400 --> 00:00:41,760 Speaker 1: plays today too. So if you had to change your 14 00:00:41,760 --> 00:00:45,840 Speaker 1: preparation at all coming into this year given your expanded 15 00:00:45,920 --> 00:00:48,479 Speaker 1: role or maybe your thought process coming into this year, No, 16 00:00:48,720 --> 00:00:51,360 Speaker 1: not at all. Um, you know, I don't let pressure 17 00:00:51,360 --> 00:00:54,160 Speaker 1: get to me too much. And then I feel like 18 00:00:54,240 --> 00:00:58,080 Speaker 1: last season with Odell going out for those last five games, 19 00:00:58,520 --> 00:00:59,920 Speaker 1: uh kind of prepared me for what I was going 20 00:01:00,040 --> 00:01:02,360 Speaker 1: to get into. And then the season before that as well, 21 00:01:02,360 --> 00:01:05,000 Speaker 1: with I'm going down with the ankle injury. I feel 22 00:01:05,040 --> 00:01:07,160 Speaker 1: like it prepared me for this moment and the U 23 00:01:07,920 --> 00:01:11,160 Speaker 1: A coach like typed over going through you know, this 24 00:01:11,200 --> 00:01:13,400 Speaker 1: whole process with Yeah. I mean he's coached a lot 25 00:01:13,440 --> 00:01:16,199 Speaker 1: of great players, been around the game for a long time, 26 00:01:16,240 --> 00:01:18,479 Speaker 1: so he knows what he's talking about. Uh, And it's 27 00:01:18,480 --> 00:01:21,759 Speaker 1: great to just have a guy like that in your corner. Um. Uh, 28 00:01:21,800 --> 00:01:24,120 Speaker 1: you know, just to learn from. Are you being asked 29 00:01:24,160 --> 00:01:26,360 Speaker 1: to different kinds of routes, different times of roles in 30 00:01:26,400 --> 00:01:28,080 Speaker 1: the offense right now that you're in the past. No, 31 00:01:28,280 --> 00:01:30,560 Speaker 1: this is the type of offense that you have to 32 00:01:30,560 --> 00:01:32,720 Speaker 1: be able to run every route in the book and 33 00:01:33,480 --> 00:01:35,520 Speaker 1: no matter where you are, because you can line up wherever. 34 00:01:35,640 --> 00:01:39,040 Speaker 1: So uh, it's things that I've been doing. Um, you know, 35 00:01:39,319 --> 00:01:42,680 Speaker 1: like I said, just things I've been doing. What do 36 00:01:42,800 --> 00:01:45,880 Speaker 1: you think of the rookie quarterbacks wheels today? Oh? Man, 37 00:01:46,520 --> 00:01:48,760 Speaker 1: he pulled that thing and picked the knees up. It 38 00:01:48,800 --> 00:01:51,400 Speaker 1: looked good. I knew, I knew we were going to 39 00:01:51,480 --> 00:01:54,360 Speaker 1: get the defense on that. Um. But yeah, he looked 40 00:01:54,360 --> 00:01:57,640 Speaker 1: great running. Did you know he has that that kind 41 00:01:57,640 --> 00:01:59,720 Speaker 1: of speed? Yeah, I mean I've heard a little bit 42 00:01:59,720 --> 00:02:02,000 Speaker 1: about him in college and seeing some tape on and 43 00:02:02,120 --> 00:02:04,920 Speaker 1: running and uh, I mean he carved somebody up. I 44 00:02:04,960 --> 00:02:08,200 Speaker 1: forgot which team it was, uh, in college, but he 45 00:02:08,560 --> 00:02:10,440 Speaker 1: was carving him up pretty good on on his feet. 46 00:02:10,880 --> 00:02:13,720 Speaker 1: You mentioned golden tape, and some people have said that 47 00:02:13,720 --> 00:02:16,680 Speaker 1: your skill sets are fairly similar. Do you see that 48 00:02:16,720 --> 00:02:18,680 Speaker 1: at all or do you look at it as with 49 00:02:18,840 --> 00:02:21,079 Speaker 1: two guys who can do similar things. It means it's 50 00:02:21,080 --> 00:02:23,520 Speaker 1: a little bit unpredictable for the defense. Yeah, exactly. I 51 00:02:23,520 --> 00:02:25,680 Speaker 1: mean you can move us around anywhere on the field, 52 00:02:25,720 --> 00:02:30,200 Speaker 1: and uh, we're just natural playmakers. So wherever you put us, 53 00:02:30,200 --> 00:02:31,880 Speaker 1: we're gonna find a way to get open and find 54 00:02:31,880 --> 00:02:33,640 Speaker 1: a way to get the ball and and make things 55 00:02:33,639 --> 00:02:35,360 Speaker 1: happen after the catch. I mean that's what he's been 56 00:02:35,360 --> 00:02:39,680 Speaker 1: great at his whole career, making things happen after the catch. So, um, 57 00:02:39,720 --> 00:02:42,519 Speaker 1: I don't I don't think that's gonna stop now. It 58 00:02:42,639 --> 00:02:45,919 Speaker 1: realize that it's quite a bit of trash to the field. 59 00:02:46,120 --> 00:02:48,400 Speaker 1: He said, you get it back from better than most people. 60 00:02:48,720 --> 00:02:51,400 Speaker 1: What what is the what is he added in that element? 61 00:02:51,520 --> 00:02:54,240 Speaker 1: Why is that a part of practice? I mean, I 62 00:02:54,240 --> 00:02:56,080 Speaker 1: think it's important for us to go back and forth 63 00:02:56,080 --> 00:02:58,040 Speaker 1: with with each other. I mean, that's what's gonna happen 64 00:02:58,040 --> 00:03:00,359 Speaker 1: on game day and on the field. Um, I mean, 65 00:03:00,360 --> 00:03:03,680 Speaker 1: and then it just brings out the competitive edge of everyone. Um. 66 00:03:03,720 --> 00:03:05,680 Speaker 1: But yeah, we go at it a lot. And uh 67 00:03:05,760 --> 00:03:08,079 Speaker 1: I'm not one to back down or shy away from 68 00:03:08,080 --> 00:03:11,240 Speaker 1: trash talk, so uh yeah, we go at it. But 69 00:03:11,360 --> 00:03:13,160 Speaker 1: I think it's all it's all great for the team. 70 00:03:13,600 --> 00:03:15,560 Speaker 1: It's wrong. You mentioned the injuries that Ordell went to 71 00:03:15,600 --> 00:03:16,880 Speaker 1: the way a couple of years when he wasn't here. 72 00:03:16,960 --> 00:03:19,359 Speaker 1: Does that make it less strange him not being here 73 00:03:19,400 --> 00:03:22,160 Speaker 1: now that you've had times where he wasn't here or worse, 74 00:03:22,200 --> 00:03:25,040 Speaker 1: it's still a sense of weird presence. Uh yeah, I 75 00:03:25,040 --> 00:03:29,360 Speaker 1: mean it's still it's still a little weird. It's an adjustment. Um, 76 00:03:29,400 --> 00:03:31,000 Speaker 1: but you know, I'm focused on the guys that we 77 00:03:31,040 --> 00:03:33,680 Speaker 1: have here now and uh that's always gonna be my 78 00:03:33,720 --> 00:03:36,720 Speaker 1: brother to the end of this. So um, you know, 79 00:03:36,760 --> 00:03:38,760 Speaker 1: I'm just focused on the guys that we have now, 80 00:03:38,800 --> 00:03:41,800 Speaker 1: And like I said earlier, I feel like you're preparing 81 00:03:41,840 --> 00:03:44,600 Speaker 1: me for on the field, and um, just not having 82 00:03:44,680 --> 00:03:46,960 Speaker 1: him out there. That's the weirdness come from just his 83 00:03:47,080 --> 00:03:49,680 Speaker 1: presence or the attention he draws or what makes it 84 00:03:49,760 --> 00:03:52,040 Speaker 1: so strange that he I mean particular is not here. 85 00:03:52,280 --> 00:03:54,360 Speaker 1: Just just his presence. I mean he's he's a great guy. 86 00:03:54,360 --> 00:03:57,440 Speaker 1: And then uh, I mean he he's he's loved around 87 00:03:57,480 --> 00:04:00,520 Speaker 1: this facility. So, um, you know, just his presence. I 88 00:04:00,560 --> 00:04:04,080 Speaker 1: guess i'd say you get points deductive for that fumble 89 00:04:04,200 --> 00:04:07,040 Speaker 1: or I stepped out of bounds before I before he 90 00:04:07,120 --> 00:04:11,560 Speaker 1: hit it out, so I didn't really count nice try 91 00:04:11,600 --> 00:04:19,600 Speaker 1: to is it? He weren't there? He was using Do 92 00:04:19,600 --> 00:04:21,680 Speaker 1: you think your bro is gonna add a lot to 93 00:04:21,800 --> 00:04:25,719 Speaker 1: the defense and his agility to play in three different 94 00:04:25,720 --> 00:04:28,280 Speaker 1: positions and yeah, I mean I saw him out there 95 00:04:28,320 --> 00:04:32,520 Speaker 1: in at corner last week doing one on ones and uh, 96 00:04:32,680 --> 00:04:35,039 Speaker 1: I mean he looks great out there too, So I 97 00:04:35,040 --> 00:04:37,719 Speaker 1: think his versatility is great for the team. And just 98 00:04:37,760 --> 00:04:40,000 Speaker 1: the energy he brings. Um, he brings a lot of 99 00:04:40,080 --> 00:04:42,840 Speaker 1: energy on the fielding that's been since day one and 100 00:04:43,160 --> 00:04:45,040 Speaker 1: that's when, I mean he was a new guy. So 101 00:04:45,720 --> 00:04:49,080 Speaker 1: having him bring that energy is great for us. How 102 00:04:49,320 --> 00:04:52,159 Speaker 1: important is that to to bring to make these things fun? 103 00:04:52,200 --> 00:04:55,560 Speaker 1: I mean this could be pretty trudgery work here. I 104 00:04:55,560 --> 00:04:58,840 Speaker 1: mean it is. It is serious work, um, But at 105 00:04:58,839 --> 00:05:00,479 Speaker 1: the end of the day, I mean we're playing football 106 00:05:00,520 --> 00:05:03,200 Speaker 1: something we've been doing, uh since we were five six 107 00:05:03,279 --> 00:05:06,360 Speaker 1: years old. Um and and it's always been a fun game, 108 00:05:06,440 --> 00:05:09,359 Speaker 1: So why I change that now? We can make it 109 00:05:09,400 --> 00:05:11,800 Speaker 1: fun out here, but we have to we have to 110 00:05:11,839 --> 00:05:13,559 Speaker 1: get the work that we need to get done done. 111 00:05:14,080 --> 00:05:17,360 Speaker 1: And uh, I think everybody since is that away from here? 112 00:05:18,080 --> 00:05:20,760 Speaker 1: Did you do off even throwing with Eli? Like I 113 00:05:21,320 --> 00:05:23,200 Speaker 1: know he was at only for a while or talking? 114 00:05:23,240 --> 00:05:25,679 Speaker 1: Did you go anywhere? No, I wasn't an old miss. 115 00:05:26,040 --> 00:05:28,680 Speaker 1: We came here. We came back to Jersey a little 116 00:05:28,680 --> 00:05:31,480 Speaker 1: bit early, and I got a throwing a few throwing 117 00:05:31,560 --> 00:05:36,560 Speaker 1: sessions in. Um, yeah, I have a lot have been 118 00:05:36,560 --> 00:05:38,920 Speaker 1: made of like he has focused his off season or 119 00:05:39,000 --> 00:05:40,920 Speaker 1: maybe being in the best shape of It's like, you 120 00:05:41,000 --> 00:05:43,000 Speaker 1: notice anything different from the first three off season through 121 00:05:43,000 --> 00:05:45,240 Speaker 1: the same guy? I mean yeah, I mean he's the 122 00:05:45,279 --> 00:05:48,040 Speaker 1: same guy, but I think he's just up to a 123 00:05:48,080 --> 00:05:50,400 Speaker 1: little bit more. I mean I saw him after every 124 00:05:50,400 --> 00:05:53,400 Speaker 1: single throwing session he was doing a conditioning session session 125 00:05:53,800 --> 00:05:57,440 Speaker 1: without us. Um and that's something I mean I've always 126 00:05:57,440 --> 00:06:00,120 Speaker 1: seen him do so like conditioning, but afterwards he was 127 00:06:00,160 --> 00:06:02,760 Speaker 1: getting after it. So um, that was a little different 128 00:06:02,760 --> 00:06:05,000 Speaker 1: than what I saw in the past. The previous years. 129 00:06:06,000 --> 00:06:08,000 Speaker 1: I'm starting to watch from the ship about the challenge 130 00:06:08,000 --> 00:06:10,720 Speaker 1: the young group of defensive facts. Did you guys have 131 00:06:10,760 --> 00:06:12,960 Speaker 1: as just camp as are receiving corps? Are you guys 132 00:06:13,000 --> 00:06:16,120 Speaker 1: are joined testing them and challenging them and pushing them 133 00:06:16,120 --> 00:06:18,920 Speaker 1: to see exactly what they've got? Oh? Of course, I 134 00:06:18,960 --> 00:06:20,640 Speaker 1: mean that's what we wanna. We want to find out 135 00:06:20,680 --> 00:06:22,080 Speaker 1: the guys that are gonna be able to ball on 136 00:06:22,120 --> 00:06:25,000 Speaker 1: Sundays for us UM And I mean we're not gonna 137 00:06:25,040 --> 00:06:27,479 Speaker 1: let up on them as receivers in any way, so 138 00:06:28,080 --> 00:06:31,039 Speaker 1: we've got to get our work done. And um yeah, 139 00:06:31,120 --> 00:06:32,520 Speaker 1: I mean, like I said, we want to see the 140 00:06:32,520 --> 00:06:35,200 Speaker 1: guys that are gonna be able to um to help 141 00:06:35,279 --> 00:06:37,120 Speaker 1: us out as a team on Sundays. What do you 142 00:06:37,120 --> 00:06:39,120 Speaker 1: think when you look over there and you see so 143 00:06:39,200 --> 00:06:43,200 Speaker 1: many young guys on defense, I mean six seven key 144 00:06:43,200 --> 00:06:46,160 Speaker 1: guys are gonna be first or second year guys over there. Yeah, 145 00:06:46,200 --> 00:06:48,800 Speaker 1: I mean I like it. It's great for the future. Then, 146 00:06:49,279 --> 00:06:51,360 Speaker 1: I mean you're talking about guys that that are ballers. 147 00:06:51,520 --> 00:06:54,159 Speaker 1: I mean then I just um, just average guys. Yeah. 148 00:06:54,200 --> 00:06:56,440 Speaker 1: I know that they haven't had as much experience as 149 00:06:56,520 --> 00:07:00,000 Speaker 1: as other guys, but I mean the way that they're looking, um, 150 00:07:00,200 --> 00:07:01,640 Speaker 1: it's going to be great for us.
