So to be able 31 00:01:49,639 --> 00:01:52,639 Speaker 1: to execute that and be so efficient with it, is 32 00:01:52,679 --> 00:01:54,319 Speaker 1: it kind of I mean I was fired up about 33 00:01:54,319 --> 00:01:56,239 Speaker 1: it just because they really can't change the whole game 34 00:01:57,079 --> 00:01:59,199 Speaker 1: and we were able to execute it, execute it like 35 00:01:59,279 --> 00:02:01,639 Speaker 1: perfectly exactly how you want to do it. 36 00:02:02,399 --> 00:02:06,559 Speaker 4: How are year old paint as coaches on the RAM staff, Achille? 37 00:02:07,999 --> 00:02:10,959 Speaker 1: I know you're not necessarily preparing to play anything that 38 00:02:10,999 --> 00:02:12,359 Speaker 1: he'll be just keeping up this week. 39 00:02:12,439 --> 00:02:15,119 Speaker 4: But what made him a good coach and what do you. 40 00:02:15,119 --> 00:02:18,759 Speaker 1: Think he's bringing to the RAM staff? Man Kailey was 41 00:02:19,199 --> 00:02:21,999 Speaker 1: one of my favorite coaches I've ever had. He's a 42 00:02:21,999 --> 00:02:26,719 Speaker 1: tremendous football coach and a tremendous person too. And you know, 43 00:02:26,918 --> 00:02:29,479 Speaker 1: I got I got two years with him and they 44 00:02:29,478 --> 00:02:32,879 Speaker 1: were a great two years. He helped me grow in 45 00:02:32,959 --> 00:02:34,959 Speaker 1: so many aspects of my game and just how I 46 00:02:34,999 --> 00:02:37,599 Speaker 1: can see the game, how it can run different routes, 47 00:02:37,599 --> 00:02:39,719 Speaker 1: how I can you know, do different things in the 48 00:02:39,799 --> 00:02:43,959 Speaker 1: run game. He was a terrific coach and uh he's 49 00:02:43,999 --> 00:02:46,319 Speaker 1: he's doing great things over there too. I know he's 50 00:02:46,359 --> 00:02:48,239 Speaker 1: he's been a big asset for the for the for 51 00:02:48,279 --> 00:02:51,358 Speaker 1: them over there, but he's still one of my favorite 52 00:02:51,359 --> 00:02:52,078 Speaker 1: coach I've ever had. 53 00:02:52,839 --> 00:02:54,879 Speaker 3: This is the second week now that Drive May always 54 00:02:54,919 --> 00:02:58,959 Speaker 3: talking about creating a sense of urgency for eighteen the team. 55 00:02:59,079 --> 00:03:02,198 Speaker 3: As a captain, how do you carry that message through 56 00:03:02,359 --> 00:03:04,439 Speaker 3: the game, especially hear any practice. 57 00:03:05,079 --> 00:03:07,599 Speaker 1: I think showing it with my actions first and foremost, 58 00:03:08,439 --> 00:03:10,199 Speaker 1: you know, taking it out on the practice field and 59 00:03:10,199 --> 00:03:13,918 Speaker 1: showing that urgency of myself and hopefully that'll rub off 60 00:03:13,919 --> 00:03:15,999 Speaker 1: on some of the young guys, some of the guys 61 00:03:16,038 --> 00:03:18,198 Speaker 1: that haven't played a ton. So I think it starts 62 00:03:18,199 --> 00:03:21,479 Speaker 1: with that and just continuing to you know, chop away 63 00:03:21,479 --> 00:03:23,639 Speaker 1: on this practice week. We got to continue to have 64 00:03:23,679 --> 00:03:26,319 Speaker 1: good weeks so they can show up on Sundays. 65 00:03:26,599 --> 00:03:29,999 Speaker 3: Sure, any think about this coup and some student continuity 66 00:03:30,159 --> 00:03:30,879 Speaker 3: the run game. 67 00:03:31,399 --> 00:03:34,879 Speaker 4: Then it's different than you're for you from a plumbing. 68 00:03:34,679 --> 00:03:38,239 Speaker 1: Perspective, Yeah, I mean there's a lot more obviously outside 69 00:03:38,319 --> 00:03:41,799 Speaker 1: zone stuff than maybe what I've done in the past, 70 00:03:42,399 --> 00:03:46,159 Speaker 1: but it helps in a lot of areas too. I 71 00:03:46,199 --> 00:03:47,999 Speaker 1: mean it can you know, there's so many things that 72 00:03:48,039 --> 00:03:51,159 Speaker 1: compliment each other. So I've had a lot of fun 73 00:03:51,279 --> 00:03:53,599 Speaker 1: kind of growing in the scheme, and I feel like 74 00:03:53,639 --> 00:03:56,959 Speaker 1: a BP has been doing a great job if it at. 75 00:03:56,999 --> 00:03:59,319 Speaker 2: Feel like it's helped you grow as a block right 76 00:03:59,359 --> 00:04:00,239 Speaker 2: here in your night here. 77 00:04:00,479 --> 00:04:03,039 Speaker 4: Yeah, but you feel like there's actually a big growth in. 78 00:04:02,959 --> 00:04:06,319 Speaker 1: That, Yeah, for sure. I Mean blocking this league is 79 00:04:06,399 --> 00:04:08,199 Speaker 1: very hard. It's a it's a hard job to do, 80 00:04:08,319 --> 00:04:11,239 Speaker 1: especially at our position. You're asked to do a lot 81 00:04:11,719 --> 00:04:14,239 Speaker 1: at our position on the edge there, and you always 82 00:04:14,279 --> 00:04:18,639 Speaker 1: kind of are going against their best guys too, So yeah, 83 00:04:18,639 --> 00:04:22,919 Speaker 1: there's a I've definitely I take pride in it. I 84 00:04:22,999 --> 00:04:26,199 Speaker 1: think that's one thing that I always wanted to be 85 00:04:26,318 --> 00:04:29,279 Speaker 1: and in my career is take pride and blocking. I 86 00:04:29,279 --> 00:04:32,399 Speaker 1: think there's you know, that's the first step of blocking 87 00:04:32,438 --> 00:04:34,839 Speaker 1: in a ways, taking pride, sticking your face in there, 88 00:04:34,839 --> 00:04:36,439 Speaker 1: and then it comes with technique and all the other 89 00:04:36,438 --> 00:04:39,639 Speaker 1: stuff that comes with it. But yeah, there's definitely there. 90 00:04:39,839 --> 00:04:41,679 Speaker 1: There's a lot asked of us on the edge. 91 00:04:43,159 --> 00:04:45,318 Speaker 4: A good week of practice you have as well, What 92 00:04:45,318 --> 00:04:47,199 Speaker 4: what is a good week of practice to make sure 93 00:04:47,198 --> 00:04:47,839 Speaker 4: you're set up for. 94 00:04:47,759 --> 00:04:48,159 Speaker 1: The next game. 95 00:04:48,198 --> 00:04:48,878 Speaker 4: What does that look like? 96 00:04:49,239 --> 00:04:51,238 Speaker 1: Obviously there's going to be ebbs and flows with a 97 00:04:51,639 --> 00:04:54,678 Speaker 1: game week because you're installing a lot, you're doing different things. 98 00:04:54,719 --> 00:04:58,719 Speaker 1: But I think it's just executing and especially the things 99 00:04:58,759 --> 00:05:00,919 Speaker 1: that you've had in or the things that you know 100 00:05:00,999 --> 00:05:04,198 Speaker 1: you're kind of like you've run a lot. You need 101 00:05:04,239 --> 00:05:06,238 Speaker 1: to be able to execute at a high level. You 102 00:05:06,279 --> 00:05:08,399 Speaker 1: know you're going to have some mistakes on maybe some 103 00:05:08,519 --> 00:05:11,359 Speaker 1: different things in a game plan, but I think it's 104 00:05:11,359 --> 00:05:13,279 Speaker 1: just executing the things that you're good at and trying 105 00:05:13,279 --> 00:05:16,639 Speaker 1: to continue to get better. But also you're going to 106 00:05:16,719 --> 00:05:18,599 Speaker 1: mess some things up, like I said, and I think 107 00:05:18,599 --> 00:05:21,959 Speaker 1: it's about fixing those things fast so that you're ready 108 00:05:21,999 --> 00:05:22,638 Speaker 1: to go for Sunday. 109 00:05:22,719 --> 00:05:24,199 Speaker 4: And if I can just follow up on that, so, 110 00:05:24,678 --> 00:05:26,398 Speaker 4: if you have a good week of practice, do you 111 00:05:26,519 --> 00:05:28,678 Speaker 4: leave that week saying all right, we feel good about 112 00:05:28,678 --> 00:05:30,959 Speaker 4: where we are going into this game. That translated into 113 00:05:30,958 --> 00:05:31,238 Speaker 4: the game. 114 00:05:31,479 --> 00:05:33,399 Speaker 1: I can't hang up too much on it. I mean, 115 00:05:33,399 --> 00:05:35,439 Speaker 1: obviously you try to have a good week of practice, 116 00:05:35,519 --> 00:05:38,679 Speaker 1: but you know, when it comes to the game time, man, 117 00:05:38,719 --> 00:05:41,199 Speaker 1: it doesn't you know, that didn't matter, I mean at all. Really, 118 00:05:41,198 --> 00:05:44,359 Speaker 1: you got to execute on that on that specific day. 119 00:05:45,279 --> 00:05:47,319 Speaker 1: So I mean, yes, you want to have a good 120 00:05:47,318 --> 00:05:49,998 Speaker 1: week and it helps, but when it comes Sunday at 121 00:05:49,999 --> 00:05:51,439 Speaker 1: one o'clock, you got to be ready to go no 122 00:05:51,479 --> 00:05:51,799 Speaker 1: matter what. 123 00:05:52,239 --> 00:05:54,439 Speaker 2: You've seen a lot of different postseasons here. 124 00:05:54,399 --> 00:05:59,839 Speaker 1: In your career, as it's been tremendous.
