1
00:00:01,880 --> 00:00:05,640
Speaker 1: Hey, savior, how are you? How are you doing good?

2
00:00:05,640 --> 00:00:08,479
Speaker 1: I got you for you. Uh, this is probably the

3
00:00:08,560 --> 00:00:10,360
Speaker 1: last time we'll talk to you this season. What do

4
00:00:10,400 --> 00:00:13,760
Speaker 1: you make individually? I know team wise it wasn't what

5
00:00:13,840 --> 00:00:16,319
Speaker 1: you wanted individually of your second year. Do you feel

6
00:00:16,360 --> 00:00:19,360
Speaker 1: like you solidified yourself as kind of like a rising

7
00:00:19,360 --> 00:00:25,119
Speaker 1: star in this league? Uh? No, I don't. Um, I

8
00:00:25,160 --> 00:00:27,000
Speaker 1: think I got a lot. It's a lot more to

9
00:00:27,200 --> 00:00:29,440
Speaker 1: you know, I want to get accomplished. Um. You know

10
00:00:29,600 --> 00:00:32,440
Speaker 1: it was some uh some stuff that was going on

11
00:00:32,520 --> 00:00:35,839
Speaker 1: earlier in the league, early in the season. Um, but

12
00:00:36,440 --> 00:00:38,159
Speaker 1: I still got a lot more to you know, to

13
00:00:38,240 --> 00:00:41,160
Speaker 1: prove and and you know I know that. So going

14
00:00:41,200 --> 00:00:43,559
Speaker 1: into next year, UM, you know, it'd be good to

15
00:00:43,760 --> 00:00:45,720
Speaker 1: you know, work on those things and get back to it.

16
00:00:47,760 --> 00:00:51,519
Speaker 1: We're about going on early in this season. Said that again,

17
00:00:52,360 --> 00:00:54,440
Speaker 1: I said you you said there were some things going

18
00:00:54,480 --> 00:00:57,200
Speaker 1: on early in the season. Unless I forgot anything you

19
00:00:57,240 --> 00:00:59,440
Speaker 1: want to share on what you mean by that, just

20
00:00:59,640 --> 00:01:01,880
Speaker 1: I will. I wouldn't get it in as many like

21
00:01:01,960 --> 00:01:04,600
Speaker 1: reps and stuff. UM. So just being out there more

22
00:01:04,600 --> 00:01:07,200
Speaker 1: on the field, UM, you know, getting that uh that

23
00:01:07,319 --> 00:01:10,240
Speaker 1: chemistry with the guys. Uh, you know, earlier in the season,

24
00:01:10,400 --> 00:01:12,960
Speaker 1: I wasn't getting as much, so UM feel like you

25
00:01:13,040 --> 00:01:15,560
Speaker 1: kind of you know, hindered it, uh, you know, slightly.

26
00:01:15,600 --> 00:01:17,760
Speaker 1: But when I got out there, you know I made

27
00:01:17,800 --> 00:01:20,360
Speaker 1: the place. I'm still missed a lot that I could

28
00:01:20,360 --> 00:01:23,080
Speaker 1: have made, um so, And I know that. So I

29
00:01:23,160 --> 00:01:24,959
Speaker 1: just go back, go back to working, and you know,

30
00:01:25,000 --> 00:01:28,520
Speaker 1: when opportunities present themselves next time that you know, I I, uh,

31
00:01:28,560 --> 00:01:31,280
Speaker 1: you know, I get them done. And then the other

32
00:01:31,319 --> 00:01:35,920
Speaker 1: thing I wanted to ask you, Xavier, was I excuse me,

33
00:01:35,920 --> 00:01:38,480
Speaker 1: in a player's shoes this weekend? Does it feel like

34
00:01:38,520 --> 00:01:41,680
Speaker 1: you're playing to save your coaches job? Like your head coach,

35
00:01:41,760 --> 00:01:46,280
Speaker 1: your assistant coaches, yeah, anybody like does that come into

36
00:01:46,319 --> 00:01:50,440
Speaker 1: a player's mind, like we have to, uh as extra motivation,

37
00:01:50,480 --> 00:01:52,360
Speaker 1: we have to play to help out our coaches because

38
00:01:52,360 --> 00:01:54,840
Speaker 1: obviously you know that there's a lot of speculation about

39
00:01:54,880 --> 00:01:57,520
Speaker 1: what's going on here after the season. We're trying to

40
00:01:57,560 --> 00:02:02,000
Speaker 1: win games. Um. I think that's that's the main main goal.

41
00:02:02,120 --> 00:02:04,920
Speaker 1: Nobody's trying to get anybody fired, nobody's trying to you know,

42
00:02:05,360 --> 00:02:07,520
Speaker 1: help anybody keep a job. We all just trying to

43
00:02:07,520 --> 00:02:09,360
Speaker 1: win games at the end of the day. UM, I

44
00:02:09,360 --> 00:02:11,720
Speaker 1: think as players and as coaches. We know that all right,

45
00:02:11,760 --> 00:02:14,280
Speaker 1: as you know, the coaches, they know that we're just

46
00:02:14,320 --> 00:02:15,880
Speaker 1: trying to go out there and do our jobs and

47
00:02:15,880 --> 00:02:18,480
Speaker 1: and you know, be able to come out victorious at

48
00:02:18,480 --> 00:02:24,680
Speaker 1: the end of it. Great. What is uh, actually it's

49
00:02:24,680 --> 00:02:27,760
Speaker 1: a two part question on coach Graham? What is Patrick

50
00:02:27,840 --> 00:02:30,200
Speaker 1: Graham meant to your development as a player this year?

51
00:02:30,600 --> 00:02:32,720
Speaker 1: At number two? I know he had interviewed for some

52
00:02:32,960 --> 00:02:35,200
Speaker 1: head coaching jobs last year. Do you see him maybe

53
00:02:35,240 --> 00:02:39,640
Speaker 1: someday becoming a head coach? Uh? Do? Um? I do.

54
00:02:40,160 --> 00:02:43,440
Speaker 1: I'm hopeful that you know, he comes back. Um. Obviously

55
00:02:43,960 --> 00:02:46,720
Speaker 1: this is my second year having him as the d C.

56
00:02:47,480 --> 00:02:49,880
Speaker 1: And uh, you know, I like what he's building with

57
00:02:50,000 --> 00:02:52,560
Speaker 1: us as a you know, as a defensive unit. Um.

58
00:02:52,639 --> 00:02:55,000
Speaker 1: You know, I like what he preaches, and like I said,

59
00:02:55,000 --> 00:02:57,920
Speaker 1: I hope he comes back. We want him to come back, Um,

60
00:02:57,960 --> 00:03:00,200
Speaker 1: you know, so we can keep building. Um. Obviously, see

61
00:03:00,240 --> 00:03:02,840
Speaker 1: the year didn't go how we wanted it to go. Uh,

62
00:03:02,840 --> 00:03:05,280
Speaker 1: you know this year or last year. But um, I

63
00:03:05,320 --> 00:03:08,280
Speaker 1: think you know, uh, small steps, but you know, and

64
00:03:08,360 --> 00:03:10,600
Speaker 1: it takes time, but I think we'll get there to

65
00:03:10,639 --> 00:03:12,680
Speaker 1: that to that dominant defense that we want to have.

66
00:03:14,520 --> 00:03:16,440
Speaker 1: And as far as you know, you're having a breakout year.

67
00:03:16,520 --> 00:03:18,880
Speaker 1: You know, what is he meant to, uh to your

68
00:03:18,919 --> 00:03:21,800
Speaker 1: career so far in the Anibal Yeah, he's been a

69
00:03:21,840 --> 00:03:24,760
Speaker 1: big help for me. Um. You know, we we you know,

70
00:03:24,800 --> 00:03:27,359
Speaker 1: make sure I do uh the little things with I'm

71
00:03:27,400 --> 00:03:30,600
Speaker 1: just having, uh just any side meetings, just trying to

72
00:03:31,040 --> 00:03:33,639
Speaker 1: you know, help me more as far as my development,

73
00:03:33,680 --> 00:03:37,160
Speaker 1: just you know, seeing different things, asking him what he sees.

74
00:03:37,280 --> 00:03:38,920
Speaker 1: He's telling me what he sees and what he thinks

75
00:03:38,960 --> 00:03:41,640
Speaker 1: I could do in certain situations. So, UM, I definitely

76
00:03:41,640 --> 00:03:44,040
Speaker 1: think that, you know, he's he's been a big help
