00:01:10,880 --> 00:01:13,839
Speaker 1: do and let you know that thing's changed. Um, yeah,

23
00:01:13,840 --> 00:01:17,160
Speaker 1: I just I can dictate, don't you know how to

24
00:01:17,280 --> 00:01:20,840
Speaker 1: how to go about these things? Really kind of pay

25
00:01:20,880 --> 00:01:24,200
Speaker 1: your agent for so um, you know I kind of

26
00:01:24,240 --> 00:01:27,640
Speaker 1: just followed it speed. Uh obviously he keeps me in

27
00:01:27,640 --> 00:01:32,040
Speaker 1: the loop. Thing that you know comes so um yeah,

28
00:01:32,200 --> 00:01:34,880
Speaker 1: try to. I try to, you know, takes from it

29
00:01:34,959 --> 00:01:44,640
Speaker 1: as I can. But just a compute patient. You know what,

30
00:01:45,000 --> 00:01:48,280
Speaker 1: you seeing pretty significant growth and you shall last a

31
00:01:48,280 --> 00:01:51,520
Speaker 1: couple of peasons with the greater an opportunity. What is

32
00:01:51,560 --> 00:01:53,120
Speaker 1: the next step for you and your growth? So? What

33
00:01:53,160 --> 00:01:54,560
Speaker 1: do you want to add to game this year that

34
00:01:54,560 --> 00:01:57,880
Speaker 1: you didn't have to last a couple of years? Um?

35
00:01:57,920 --> 00:01:59,880
Speaker 1: Just continuing to doing prove all the stuff that I've

36
00:02:00,040 --> 00:02:04,160
Speaker 1: I've improved on. Obviously, the game of football, you're you're

37
00:02:04,200 --> 00:02:07,440
Speaker 1: not You're never gonna play a perfect game. Um. You

38
00:02:07,480 --> 00:02:10,320
Speaker 1: know your footwork is never gonna be be perfect. Every

39
00:02:10,400 --> 00:02:13,120
Speaker 1: step out there, every situation isn't going to go and

40
00:02:13,280 --> 00:02:17,200
Speaker 1: act how you wanted. You might not win every red. Um.

41
00:02:17,400 --> 00:02:20,520
Speaker 1: So I think just becoming human even more consistent, um,

42
00:02:21,040 --> 00:02:24,919
Speaker 1: just with little things and technique, whether it be a

43
00:02:25,000 --> 00:02:29,079
Speaker 1: game more passing. Um, that's something that continues to look

44
00:02:29,080 --> 00:02:31,440
Speaker 1: at with the critical eye. Um, I wanted to gain

45
00:02:31,560 --> 00:02:34,520
Speaker 1: just a little bit more weight, which I've done so

46
00:02:34,520 --> 00:02:39,320
Speaker 1: so far. Um, why I can you know, pull my

47
00:02:39,360 --> 00:02:42,720
Speaker 1: own a little bit forward those bigger um that we

48
00:02:42,960 --> 00:02:47,519
Speaker 1: that we go against, especially in our division. Um. But

49
00:02:47,680 --> 00:02:51,880
Speaker 1: I think, you know, also improving the mental part of

50
00:02:51,919 --> 00:02:54,400
Speaker 1: the game. Um. I've been watching on a film among

51
00:02:54,800 --> 00:02:57,160
Speaker 1: you know, not only myself and and and our games,

52
00:02:57,240 --> 00:03:00,679
Speaker 1: but you know some other guys around the league get

53
00:03:00,960 --> 00:03:02,880
Speaker 1: um just trying to take and pull different parts from

54
00:03:02,919 --> 00:03:06,160
Speaker 1: their game. And I mean it's a constant process um

55
00:03:06,280 --> 00:03:08,920
Speaker 1: of just trying to improve yourself as a player in

56
00:03:08,919 --> 00:03:12,839
Speaker 1: any any way that I can. So I think, um,

57
00:03:12,840 --> 00:03:16,239
Speaker 1: you know I'm looking to do that in all facets

58
00:03:16,800 --> 00:03:20,520
Speaker 1: of my game. How much do wait? How much wait

59
00:03:20,600 --> 00:03:22,040
Speaker 1: did you get in you thing? Down? Will help you

60
00:03:22,080 --> 00:03:26,600
Speaker 1: be a better blocker? Um? My game? I mean probably

61
00:03:26,880 --> 00:03:31,520
Speaker 1: five six pounds, um, which you know I've kind of

62
00:03:31,520 --> 00:03:34,160
Speaker 1: put them on that I wanted to come into the

63
00:03:34,160 --> 00:03:38,360
Speaker 1: offseason program, um with just a little more um mass

64
00:03:38,640 --> 00:03:45,920
Speaker 1: to holpefully get get the most yeah, um, just to

65
00:03:45,960 --> 00:03:48,040
Speaker 1: help make it a little bit strong. But but yeah,

66
00:03:48,240 --> 00:03:51,320
Speaker 1: I do believe though I think, um honestly, five pounds

67
00:03:51,320 --> 00:03:53,200
Speaker 1: does it sound like a lot to a lot of

68
00:03:53,200 --> 00:03:56,040
Speaker 1: people to go up here now gain five pounds. I

69
00:03:56,120 --> 00:04:01,880
Speaker 1: mean that's a that's a series um um revent um

70
00:04:01,960 --> 00:04:06,480
Speaker 1: and just your your um. So UM, that's my goal.

71
00:04:06,480 --> 00:04:09,640
Speaker 1: Hopefully by the end of the OCAs I can you know,

72
00:04:09,680 --> 00:04:13,440
Speaker 1: I can come out with um, you know all those

73
00:04:13,480 --> 00:04:16,120
Speaker 1: games that I've been trying to take. So but yeah,

74
00:04:16,360 --> 00:04:20,760
Speaker 1: I do think it will. How much sheet way right out?

75
00:04:20,920 --> 00:04:23,120
Speaker 1: What's your what's your way out right now? And jeez,

76
00:04:23,160 --> 00:04:29,720
Speaker 1: we're getting personal huh yeah, record No, I'm about I'm

77
00:04:29,720 --> 00:04:36,760
Speaker 1: a little under two and even part of the captain's

78
00:04:37,040 --> 00:04:41,680
Speaker 1: workouts here before today's officials start. And has anything does

79
00:04:41,720 --> 00:04:46,360
Speaker 1: any kind of change now? Um wanted to the official

80
00:04:46,360 --> 00:04:50,520
Speaker 1: offseason program. Um. Really the only change from you know,

81
00:04:50,600 --> 00:04:54,520
Speaker 1: captain's workouts the official is just meetings we're able to

82
00:04:54,560 --> 00:04:58,480
Speaker 1: you know, meet with our coaches, pop football and um,

83
00:04:58,520 --> 00:05:00,440
Speaker 1: just get in the classroom a little bit, get everybody

84
00:05:00,480 --> 00:05:02,640
Speaker 1: on the same page with maybe some new wrinkles or

85
00:05:03,600 --> 00:05:05,880
Speaker 1: from the previous year. So really that's the only difference

86
00:05:05,880 --> 00:05:08,360
Speaker 1: all the workouts and stuff. But the thanks a few weeks,

87
00:05:08,360 --> 00:05:11,920
Speaker 1: you're gonna be what we come up been doing. Um,

88
00:05:12,320 --> 00:05:14,920
Speaker 1: I mean we had a really good turnout. UM. Obviously,

89
00:05:14,960 --> 00:05:16,920
Speaker 1: we had a lot of guys in the building over

90
00:05:16,960 --> 00:05:19,839
Speaker 1: the course of the last couple of months. So, UM,

91
00:05:19,960 --> 00:05:23,840
Speaker 1: you know, I think we're building on that program. When

92
00:05:23,880 --> 00:05:26,240
Speaker 1: you're with the guy gets and you're and you're working

93
00:05:26,240 --> 00:05:28,840
Speaker 1: out those guys together, what's kind of a mood like

94
00:05:28,880 --> 00:05:31,320
Speaker 1: what I mean, we're you know, I guess the expectations

95
00:05:31,360 --> 00:05:34,720
Speaker 1: you guys talk about you when you're together. I mean

96
00:05:34,800 --> 00:05:37,000
Speaker 1: right now, I mean it's it's very you know, kind

97
00:05:37,000 --> 00:05:40,320
Speaker 1: of individualized guys. Guys can be on you know, different plans.

98
00:05:40,360 --> 00:05:45,560
Speaker 1: Guys are you know, running in different different things. UM.

99
00:05:45,600 --> 00:05:49,200
Speaker 1: But you know everybody knows the goal is UM. That's

100
00:05:49,200 --> 00:05:52,280
Speaker 1: something that you know, we talk about as we can

101
00:05:52,440 --> 00:05:54,080
Speaker 1: just and you know, maybe at the end of the

102
00:05:54,200 --> 00:05:55,960
Speaker 1: last everybody brings it up and wants to break it

103
00:05:55,960 --> 00:05:58,560
Speaker 1: down and you know, some guys let's just say a

104
00:05:58,560 --> 00:06:03,280
Speaker 1: few words. UM. Obviously that's the peformer my championship for

105
00:06:03,320 --> 00:06:08,279
Speaker 1: this organization. UM. And you know, I believe that it

106
00:06:08,400 --> 00:06:12,240
Speaker 1: starts in the off seasons, whether it be you know,

107
00:06:12,279 --> 00:06:15,320
Speaker 1: working out on your own or working out and at

108
00:06:15,360 --> 00:06:19,000
Speaker 1: a team facility. UM, you're betting with yourself in the

109
00:06:19,040 --> 00:06:22,240
Speaker 1: off season, Um, and I think that's gonna pay difference

110
00:06:22,800 --> 00:06:28,720
Speaker 1: for for us upcoming here often. How important is is

111
00:06:28,800 --> 00:06:31,120
Speaker 1: you get time un pact with Jack throwing this op

112
00:06:31,160 --> 00:06:33,720
Speaker 1: season and how much more able or not like as

113
00:06:33,760 --> 00:06:35,880
Speaker 1: you can do this this optation you really do is

114
00:06:35,960 --> 00:06:39,560
Speaker 1: recovering last year. Yeah, I think it's super important. Um,

115
00:06:39,680 --> 00:06:44,160
Speaker 1: anytime that you can start with your quarterback, it's you know, invaluable.

116
00:06:44,200 --> 00:06:47,680
Speaker 1: I think, Um, you know you can't you almost get

117
00:06:47,800 --> 00:06:50,320
Speaker 1: tough of it. Um. And I think that you know

118
00:06:50,920 --> 00:06:53,960
Speaker 1: where he's at with this health and and everything compared

119
00:06:54,040 --> 00:06:56,520
Speaker 1: to um last year when you know he was still

120
00:06:56,520 --> 00:07:00,320
Speaker 1: in rehab. Um, we've we've had ample opportunity used to

121
00:07:01,120 --> 00:07:04,160
Speaker 1: you know, get on the fee, um, grow with a

122
00:07:04,200 --> 00:07:07,280
Speaker 1: few guys and just going to start that process back up.

123
00:07:07,360 --> 00:07:11,960
Speaker 1: So um, yeah, we're definitely ahead of where we were

124
00:07:12,080 --> 00:07:25,640
Speaker 1: last year. Anything else, what what do you all need

125
00:07:25,680 --> 00:07:27,320
Speaker 1: to do to step up in the taxing game and

126
00:07:27,360 --> 00:07:31,440
Speaker 1: how much you look forward to that responsibility? Um. You know,

127
00:07:31,480 --> 00:07:34,160
Speaker 1: I think just as a whole, um, there's a lot

128
00:07:34,160 --> 00:07:37,160
Speaker 1: of room for everything on our offense is just kind

129
00:07:37,160 --> 00:07:40,960
Speaker 1: of grow in terms of football IQ and understanding you know,

130
00:07:41,040 --> 00:07:43,880
Speaker 1: not only you know what the call is and you

131
00:07:43,920 --> 00:07:47,040
Speaker 1: know what your responsibility is. But like you know, why

132
00:07:47,160 --> 00:07:50,280
Speaker 1: kellns trying to call the call and you know where

133
00:07:50,280 --> 00:07:53,119
Speaker 1: those concepts kind of fit in and the game flow.

134
00:07:53,240 --> 00:07:57,440
Speaker 1: So I think, um, you know, that's why I'm you know,

135
00:07:57,520 --> 00:07:59,760
Speaker 1: kind of a little bit more excited about this offseason

136
00:08:00,240 --> 00:08:03,800
Speaker 1: programs specifically just because I think that you know, everybody's

137
00:08:03,840 --> 00:08:08,640
Speaker 1: had peers under this. UM, I think the room to

138
00:08:08,840 --> 00:08:12,240
Speaker 1: grow from a you know, football IQ level of you

139
00:08:12,280 --> 00:08:16,239
Speaker 1: know understanding, maybe it's a bit more of that just uh,

140
00:08:16,320 --> 00:08:19,000
Speaker 1: you know, with on the service level of these concepts

141
00:08:19,040 --> 00:08:20,800
Speaker 1: and you know, maybe the ultimate goal of what we're

142
00:08:20,800 --> 00:08:24,680
Speaker 1: trying to accomplish by um running or calling certain plays

143
00:08:24,720 --> 00:08:28,440
Speaker 1: and a certain situation. So um, yeah, there's definitely a

144
00:08:28,480 --> 00:08:31,880
Speaker 1: lot of room to grow there. And I think that

145
00:08:32,080 --> 00:08:33,679
Speaker 1: you know, these guys are ready to take the next

146
00:08:33,679 --> 00:08:38,280
Speaker 1: step In an aspect of that, is that why you

147
00:08:38,320 --> 00:08:42,199
Speaker 1: feel good about Golphers being better without a mare in

148
00:08:42,240 --> 00:08:45,880
Speaker 1: stead because of a better understanding of the offer as

149
00:08:45,920 --> 00:08:51,119
Speaker 1: you think, Okay, that were I never said that. Um

150
00:08:51,280 --> 00:08:55,680
Speaker 1: obviously Papio Mare did. One of the receivers at leads

151
00:08:55,679 --> 00:09:01,720
Speaker 1: his personal opinion. Um, obviously we're a better offense with him. Um. Unfortunately,

152
00:09:01,840 --> 00:09:03,920
Speaker 1: like we don't have them, and so I think just

153
00:09:03,960 --> 00:09:06,840
Speaker 1: the next step there's just you know, having guys step up.

154
00:09:06,880 --> 00:09:11,560
Speaker 1: But but yeah, I think that again there's there's ruby
