Speaker 1: all those guys. Uh, Paul Pierce that era always likes

18
00:00:48,080 --> 00:00:52,080
Speaker 1: seeing uh surprisingly like seeing good defense around that time.

19
00:00:52,159 --> 00:00:54,640
Speaker 1: So and they was stopping teams like eighty points a

20
00:00:54,720 --> 00:00:57,800
Speaker 1: game at that moment. So it was good times for sure.

21
00:01:00,360 --> 00:01:03,400
Speaker 2: And you groom close with any of the current players. Yeah.

22
00:01:03,520 --> 00:01:07,200
Speaker 1: Uh on the season, Yeah, I had the opportunity to

23
00:01:07,200 --> 00:01:09,920
Speaker 1: to go to Jason Tatum's event on his b shoe release. Uh,

24
00:01:09,920 --> 00:01:13,000
Speaker 1: it was a great great showing for sure, being able

25
00:01:13,040 --> 00:01:15,840
Speaker 1: to see UH players around my age, being able to

26
00:01:16,040 --> 00:01:18,840
Speaker 1: get out in the community and seeing his effect on

27
00:01:18,880 --> 00:01:21,160
Speaker 1: the community as well. Also getting out and seeing the

28
00:01:21,160 --> 00:01:24,640
Speaker 1: other teams around the area, whether that be Bruins players,

29
00:01:24,640 --> 00:01:27,399
Speaker 1: Red Sox players, see these players like, it's always good

30
00:01:27,400 --> 00:01:29,440
Speaker 1: to kind of get out and adventure a little bit.

31
00:01:29,959 --> 00:01:31,200
Speaker 2: So that was a good experience for me.

32
00:01:31,840 --> 00:01:34,120
Speaker 1: So how l how is that for com Lobel You

33
00:01:34,120 --> 00:01:36,000
Speaker 1: feel like your tu makes to go to the games

34
00:01:36,120 --> 00:01:37,279
Speaker 1: and interacting.

35
00:01:36,880 --> 00:01:40,360
Speaker 2: With different athletes from Boston but all acuser kind of

36
00:01:40,400 --> 00:01:42,520
Speaker 2: different championship and counts there in the basketball.

37
00:01:42,760 --> 00:01:44,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's always good just because you're all representing the

38
00:01:44,880 --> 00:01:45,560
Speaker 1: same area.

39
00:01:45,680 --> 00:01:46,000
Speaker 2: Uh.

40
00:01:46,000 --> 00:01:48,240
Speaker 1: So you able to see the effect always when we

41
00:01:48,360 --> 00:01:51,200
Speaker 1: have our games on Sundays, seeing those guys on the sideline,

42
00:01:51,240 --> 00:01:54,080
Speaker 1: you kind of realize how tight knit everything is, like

43
00:01:54,120 --> 00:01:55,639
Speaker 1: we all fighting for the same area.

44
00:01:55,680 --> 00:01:58,240
Speaker 2: We all competing for the New England area.

45
00:01:58,320 --> 00:02:01,000
Speaker 1: So it's always a uh puts a little smile on

46
00:02:01,040 --> 00:02:03,360
Speaker 1: your face when you see different guys from different teams

47
00:02:03,400 --> 00:02:06,080
Speaker 1: showing support and showing love, whether they be fans of

48
00:02:06,120 --> 00:02:09,160
Speaker 1: the team or not, cause sometimes we we put that.

49
00:02:09,120 --> 00:02:11,120
Speaker 2: On 'em like y you might maybe from a different area.

50
00:02:11,120 --> 00:02:12,720
Speaker 1: You don't nessary I have to be a fan of

51
00:02:12,760 --> 00:02:14,919
Speaker 1: the team, but just showing support for the team, UH

52
00:02:15,160 --> 00:02:16,000
Speaker 1: definitely means a lot.

53
00:02:16,960 --> 00:02:19,480
Speaker 2: Did you wanna you've you've improved?

54
00:02:19,520 --> 00:02:21,920
Speaker 1: And first, so like every year you've played, you know your.

55
00:02:21,800 --> 00:02:23,679
Speaker 2: Stats or your your higher and higher, and what do

56
00:02:23,680 --> 00:02:25,360
Speaker 2: you what do your tribute that to? And you know

57
00:02:25,360 --> 00:02:26,560
Speaker 2: what do you have to do? You have this year

58
00:02:26,560 --> 00:02:28,440
Speaker 2: to take that other stuff? Uh?

59
00:02:28,639 --> 00:02:31,800
Speaker 1: I would say, I feel like every player's goal is

60
00:02:31,840 --> 00:02:35,079
Speaker 1: the year in and year out, just improve. So I've

61
00:02:35,120 --> 00:02:38,600
Speaker 1: just made that my goal toil each time, not even

62
00:02:38,600 --> 00:02:40,440
Speaker 1: from year to year, from game to game, just try

63
00:02:40,480 --> 00:02:43,440
Speaker 1: to find that improvement and not just let it be

64
00:02:43,480 --> 00:02:46,359
Speaker 1: a cliche term, but actually putting action to it and

65
00:02:46,480 --> 00:02:47,560
Speaker 1: critiquing yourself.

66
00:02:47,880 --> 00:02:48,280
Speaker 2: Uh.

67
00:02:48,560 --> 00:02:51,040
Speaker 1: A lot of people say they're their own worst critic,

68
00:02:51,560 --> 00:02:53,639
Speaker 1: but unless you show action behind it, it's really j

69
00:02:53,720 --> 00:02:55,840
Speaker 1: kind of just words. So I just try to uh

70
00:02:55,880 --> 00:03:01,800
Speaker 1: improve daily, whether that be physically, uh, leadership qualities, uh,

71
00:03:01,840 --> 00:03:05,040
Speaker 1: all the intangibles that that come with it, and bringing

72
00:03:05,200 --> 00:03:07,680
Speaker 1: guys along with me. Uh, it's no fun when you're

73
00:03:07,680 --> 00:03:09,959
Speaker 1: doing it by yourself. So anytime you get the opportunity

74
00:03:10,000 --> 00:03:12,639
Speaker 1: to bring some alo someone along with you, it's always good.

75
00:03:13,240 --> 00:03:15,440
Speaker 2: Do you make a listing y'all season of what you

76
00:03:15,919 --> 00:03:18,800
Speaker 2: prioritize getting better at it? Oh? We always kind of

77
00:03:18,800 --> 00:03:19,520
Speaker 2: have it in your head.

78
00:03:19,760 --> 00:03:21,760
Speaker 1: Uh, even when you watch it's the tape and kind

79
00:03:21,760 --> 00:03:23,280
Speaker 1: of self scout yourself.

80
00:03:23,800 --> 00:03:24,200
Speaker 2: Uh.

81
00:03:24,440 --> 00:03:27,080
Speaker 1: Some some coaches may not see it, but you just

82
00:03:27,120 --> 00:03:29,280
Speaker 1: constantly watching yourself. You like, oh, I took a bad

83
00:03:29,280 --> 00:03:31,919
Speaker 1: step here, things like that, And around this time of

84
00:03:31,919 --> 00:03:33,800
Speaker 1: it is the time where you kind of get the

85
00:03:33,840 --> 00:03:36,000
Speaker 1: hone in and those things. Cause it's kind of hard

86
00:03:36,000 --> 00:03:37,200
Speaker 1: to go back and do that in the middle of

87
00:03:37,240 --> 00:03:38,880
Speaker 1: the season, but it's easy to do that and improve

88
00:03:38,960 --> 00:03:40,760
Speaker 1: upon those things throughout this time.

89
00:03:40,800 --> 00:03:41,400
Speaker 2: So that's big.

90
00:03:42,200 --> 00:03:45,560
Speaker 1: Knowing that draw has had interview opportunities else worth makes

91
00:03:45,800 --> 00:03:47,200
Speaker 1: years in the name places to.

92
00:03:47,840 --> 00:03:51,640
Speaker 2: Opportunities potentially this shiit. What's your reaction what you saw?

93
00:03:51,720 --> 00:03:56,480
Speaker 2: The ms could be allowed? Uh, perhaps an extent a Uh.

94
00:03:56,520 --> 00:03:58,240
Speaker 1: Well, it's always a smile on my face any time

95
00:03:58,280 --> 00:04:00,520
Speaker 1: I get to see uh drawing a or an a

96
00:04:00,520 --> 00:04:03,119
Speaker 1: fantastic coach. Uh. So I'm never surprised that his name

97
00:04:03,240 --> 00:04:07,280
Speaker 1: is ringing bells elsewhere. But aside from that, I mean,

98
00:04:07,280 --> 00:04:09,360
Speaker 1: you ask anyone in this building, he's he has a

99
00:04:09,400 --> 00:04:10,960
Speaker 1: huge part to do with a lot of things we

100
00:04:11,000 --> 00:04:13,280
Speaker 1: get done in this building. So seeing him around the

101
00:04:13,320 --> 00:04:17,080
Speaker 1: building or if he was to go elsewhere, it's definitely regardless.

102
00:04:17,120 --> 00:04:19,479
Speaker 1: We all happy for him. We're we're we're family and

103
00:04:19,520 --> 00:04:22,360
Speaker 1: that aspect of things. We always excited just to see

104
00:04:22,360 --> 00:04:24,560
Speaker 1: each other, uh do well no matter what it is.

105
00:04:25,040 --> 00:04:27,480
Speaker 2: So to have him back is definitely good for us.

106
00:04:27,920 --> 00:04:30,680
Speaker 2: What is it about him that makes him, you know.

107
00:04:30,720 --> 00:04:35,040
Speaker 3: Good culture in that conversation for in coaching outs from

108
00:04:35,120 --> 00:04:37,240
Speaker 3: the view of a player that is working out.

109
00:04:37,120 --> 00:04:40,280
Speaker 1: Here, I mean, aside from him being a past player, Uh,

110
00:04:40,400 --> 00:04:42,560
Speaker 1: he's able to kind of see it through our leans.

111
00:04:42,640 --> 00:04:43,039
Speaker 2: Uh.

112
00:04:43,160 --> 00:04:44,960
Speaker 1: I mean, he's not too far removed from the game,

113
00:04:45,080 --> 00:04:47,920
Speaker 1: so him like, he'll see it in our eyes. We'll

114
00:04:48,120 --> 00:04:50,800
Speaker 1: we'll show him what's happening on the field. He's able

115
00:04:50,839 --> 00:04:53,120
Speaker 1: to most of the time before we even get to him.

116
00:04:53,120 --> 00:04:55,600
Speaker 1: He knows what's happening. So that's always good to have

117
00:04:55,680 --> 00:04:57,240
Speaker 1: another set of eyes to say, able to watch it

118
00:04:57,240 --> 00:05:00,599
Speaker 1: from you, especially being another backer and seeing uh just

119
00:05:00,600 --> 00:05:01,880
Speaker 1: seeing through the same lens.

120
00:05:02,000 --> 00:05:04,640
Speaker 2: So it's always good to have a went to the

121
00:05:04,680 --> 00:05:08,560
Speaker 2: Pine Street in earlier the South season. Was that experience

122
00:05:08,640 --> 00:05:10,599
Speaker 2: just like into love that question.

123
00:05:11,080 --> 00:05:15,360
Speaker 1: Uh great, that's I feel like that's the the main word.

124
00:05:15,360 --> 00:05:17,040
Speaker 2: For sure. It was a It was a great experience.

125
00:05:17,080 --> 00:05:20,800
Speaker 1: It was a opportunity for me to get out in

126
00:05:20,800 --> 00:05:23,760
Speaker 1: the community a little bit more. Uh, especially dealing with

127
00:05:23,800 --> 00:05:26,360
Speaker 1: Pine Street. It was my second time being with them.

128
00:05:26,440 --> 00:05:28,640
Speaker 1: So just being able to speak and uh I was

129
00:05:28,680 --> 00:05:30,640
Speaker 1: able to speak to a a a kind of big

130
00:05:30,640 --> 00:05:32,359
Speaker 1: group kind of put me off guard a little bit.

131
00:05:32,440 --> 00:05:34,440
Speaker 1: But I was just speaking from the heart and my

132
00:05:34,560 --> 00:05:36,320
Speaker 1: sharing my experiences with everyone else.

133
00:05:36,520 --> 00:05:37,000
Speaker 2: Uh.

134
00:05:37,400 --> 00:05:40,560
Speaker 1: I grew up in uh A homeless, insecurity, UH home

135
00:05:40,600 --> 00:05:42,800
Speaker 1: insecurities and things like that. So just being able to

136
00:05:42,800 --> 00:05:45,320
Speaker 1: share my story and hopefully it reached the people it

137
00:05:45,400 --> 00:05:47,600
Speaker 1: was supposed to reach. Every message is not gonna hit

138
00:05:47,680 --> 00:05:50,440
Speaker 1: everybody how you wanted to. Well, you just sharing your story.

139
00:05:50,480 --> 00:05:52,960
Speaker 1: You hope you just grab one person and somebody attaches

140
00:05:53,000 --> 00:05:54,599
Speaker 1: to it, and you just your story just kind of

141
00:05:55,360 --> 00:05:57,520
Speaker 1: goes out into the world and hopefully somebody reached the

142
00:05:57,520 --> 00:06:00,360
Speaker 1: benefit from it. But I just make it my goal

143
00:06:00,400 --> 00:06:02,720
Speaker 1: to kind of share my story and hopefully somebody, somebody

144
00:06:02,720 --> 00:06:03,279
Speaker 1: grabs on it.

145
00:06:04,600 --> 00:06:06,719
Speaker 2: When you git into this year and in the final

146
00:06:06,800 --> 00:06:08,440
Speaker 2: year of your contract. Do we all know the league's

147
00:06:08,440 --> 00:06:10,039
Speaker 2: a business that wasn' great? How do you go about

148
00:06:10,080 --> 00:06:12,480
Speaker 2: your handling your business in a way? What that stuff

149
00:06:12,760 --> 00:06:15,960
Speaker 2: you'll create, you know, whatever anxiety or pressure where it

150
00:06:15,960 --> 00:06:18,840
Speaker 2: becomes a detriment for you the fields. Uh well, I

151
00:06:18,839 --> 00:06:19,680
Speaker 2: don't see that stuff.

152
00:06:19,800 --> 00:06:21,960
Speaker 1: Uh i' I I pay attention to I keep the

153
00:06:21,960 --> 00:06:23,960
Speaker 1: main thing, the main thing. Uh I can't really worry

154
00:06:23,960 --> 00:06:25,880
Speaker 1: about what everybody else is saying. If you do your

155
00:06:26,000 --> 00:06:27,920
Speaker 1: you'll lose your mind. You it's a a lot of

156
00:06:27,920 --> 00:06:30,159
Speaker 1: stuff going on and that can't be. That can't be

157
00:06:30,200 --> 00:06:32,479
Speaker 1: the main thing on the table. So as far as

158
00:06:32,800 --> 00:06:34,520
Speaker 1: what when it comes to me, I'll make sure I

159
00:06:34,600 --> 00:06:36,000
Speaker 1: and I would say this is kind of advice to

160
00:06:36,080 --> 00:06:38,320
Speaker 1: young guys too. Uh just keep the main thing the

161
00:06:38,320 --> 00:06:40,720
Speaker 1: main thing. Don't worry about all the outside noise, cause

162
00:06:40,720 --> 00:06:42,560
Speaker 1: that's all it is. It's outside noise. You can't do

163
00:06:42,600 --> 00:06:45,600
Speaker 1: anything about it. Uh So, just being the moment and

164
00:06:45,680 --> 00:06:47,880
Speaker 1: at the end of the day, you gotta make the

165
00:06:47,920 --> 00:06:50,040
Speaker 1: most out of every opportunity that you that you have.

166
00:06:50,279 --> 00:06:53,160
Speaker 1: Uh So, whether that's just improving your game. That's the

167
00:06:53,320 --> 00:06:56,440
Speaker 1: that should be your main focus. So yeah, I say.

168
00:06:56,320 --> 00:06:58,600
Speaker 2: You go photo out your teams for don't what you're

169
00:06:58,640 --> 00:07:04,719
Speaker 2: doing as far what different VISU forout the division perhaps

170
00:07:04,800 --> 00:07:06,080
Speaker 2: or about put Y.

171
00:07:06,080 --> 00:07:10,240
Speaker 1: Gotta give me a question, I see what's happening you

172
00:07:10,280 --> 00:07:14,840
Speaker 1: gotta But yeah, uh, obviously you're always excited to see

173
00:07:14,840 --> 00:07:17,840
Speaker 1: the different moves teams make. Uh, just adding competition around

174
00:07:17,880 --> 00:07:20,320
Speaker 1: the league. That's always I mean, I thrive off just

175
00:07:20,400 --> 00:07:23,360
Speaker 1: competition in general. So what especially in in our division,

176
00:07:23,400 --> 00:07:25,400
Speaker 1: seeing the different moves teams make, it's always gets you

177
00:07:25,520 --> 00:07:28,280
Speaker 1: excited about what's to come. As far as the league.

178
00:07:28,320 --> 00:07:31,080
Speaker 1: Every a like, every team just gets better every single year.

179
00:07:31,400 --> 00:07:33,760
Speaker 1: So each week you got a different opportunity, a different

180
00:07:33,880 --> 00:07:36,960
Speaker 1: uh task on on your hands. So I'm always eager

181
00:07:37,000 --> 00:07:38,920
Speaker 1: to get out there and see what the next team

182
00:07:39,040 --> 00:07:40,920
Speaker 1: has and what they're cooking up and so we have

183
00:07:41,000 --> 00:07:43,560
Speaker 1: the opportunity to stop it. So I always get excited

184
00:07:43,560 --> 00:07:44,160
Speaker 1: around this time.

185
00:07:45,080 --> 00:07:46,000
Speaker 2: There are points you.

186
00:07:46,120 --> 00:07:47,680
Speaker 1: Guys face you know, you guys had a bunch of

187
00:07:47,760 --> 00:07:49,520
Speaker 1: free agents all the defensive side of the ball, and

188
00:07:49,840 --> 00:07:51,280
Speaker 1: besides Devin and retired.

189
00:07:50,960 --> 00:07:52,800
Speaker 2: Pretty much everybody's back. What does that mean to you

190
00:07:53,240 --> 00:07:55,120
Speaker 2: that the group you were with last year's kind of

191
00:07:55,200 --> 00:07:57,080
Speaker 2: back and trying to get Uh.

192
00:07:57,320 --> 00:07:59,360
Speaker 1: Well, I'll say you you don't spend as much time

193
00:07:59,400 --> 00:08:01,720
Speaker 1: building come roun cause you're the same kind of bringing

194
00:08:01,760 --> 00:08:04,200
Speaker 1: in the same guys other than a few pieces here

195
00:08:04,240 --> 00:08:06,000
Speaker 1: and there. But at the end of the day, you

196
00:08:06,120 --> 00:08:08,520
Speaker 1: still looking to improve. So whether you bringing new guys

197
00:08:08,600 --> 00:08:11,280
Speaker 1: or not, the improvement. We try to keep that steady

198
00:08:11,360 --> 00:08:13,800
Speaker 1: track and just trying to get better individually and as

199
00:08:13,840 --> 00:08:16,680
Speaker 1: a unit, just being on the same page. And uh,

200
00:08:16,960 --> 00:08:19,400
Speaker 1: at the end of the day, we trying to at

201
00:08:19,440 --> 00:08:20,800
Speaker 1: the end of the day, were trying to build east

202
00:08:20,800 --> 00:08:22,680
Speaker 1: side of the ball, offensive defense, and then we gotta

203
00:08:22,720 --> 00:08:24,400
Speaker 1: come together as one team. So right now this is

204
00:08:24,520 --> 00:08:26,720
Speaker 1: kind of at that moment right now where we just

205
00:08:26,840 --> 00:08:27,440
Speaker 1: learning each other.

206
00:08:27,720 --> 00:08:30,520
Speaker 3: You want to Bob's question about additions in the division.

207
00:08:30,720 --> 00:08:33,000
Speaker 3: You saw Rodgers are close last year. You'll see him

208
00:08:33,000 --> 00:08:35,760
Speaker 3: twice now with the Jets. What was your pressure of

209
00:08:35,840 --> 00:08:37,679
Speaker 3: facing him last year and how do you see him

210
00:08:38,440 --> 00:08:40,440
Speaker 3: fitting in with the Jets maybe elevating that offense.

211
00:08:40,920 --> 00:08:44,320
Speaker 1: Well, Aaron Rodgers, I mean, definitely a fantastic quarterback for sure. Uh,

212
00:08:45,200 --> 00:08:48,320
Speaker 1: definitely gonna ask add some things to the Jets as

213
00:08:48,400 --> 00:08:50,439
Speaker 1: far as as far as their offense is concerned. So

214
00:08:51,480 --> 00:08:53,920
Speaker 1: hands down's gonna be a hell of a opportunity for

215
00:08:54,040 --> 00:08:56,600
Speaker 1: us to go against them twice a year. But if

216
00:08:56,640 --> 00:08:58,760
Speaker 1: you ask us, we're excited about the opportunity, you have

217
00:08:58,880 --> 00:09:01,320
Speaker 1: no choice but to be excited about it, because I mean,

218
00:09:01,360 --> 00:09:03,800
Speaker 1: you can't go out there trading your feet anything like that.

219
00:09:04,000 --> 00:09:06,280
Speaker 1: But seem like I said, seeing moves like that, you

220
00:09:06,440 --> 00:09:08,520
Speaker 1: you kind of get excited, especially around the division, cause

221
00:09:08,559 --> 00:09:10,559
Speaker 1: you just it just adds all the I know, you

222
00:09:10,640 --> 00:09:12,679
Speaker 1: guys love it as far as building a story behind it.

223
00:09:12,920 --> 00:09:13,880
Speaker 1: So at the end of the day, we just look

224
00:09:13,920 --> 00:09:15,439
Speaker 1: at look to go out there and compete and we

225
00:09:15,600 --> 00:09:17,200
Speaker 1: just having fun. So at the end of the day,

226
00:09:17,200 --> 00:09:18,480
Speaker 1: we just looked to come out with a win. But

227
00:09:18,760 --> 00:09:21,199
Speaker 1: I mean it's early, so one day at a time.

228
00:09:22,000 --> 00:09:24,720
Speaker 2: Grod recently said that he thought Dante High Tower would

229
00:09:24,760 --> 00:09:28,360
Speaker 2: make a great coach. Do you agree with that for sure?

230
00:09:29,000 --> 00:09:29,560
Speaker 2: For sure? I don't.

231
00:09:29,559 --> 00:09:31,240
Speaker 1: I mean, I I mean I kind of let how

232
00:09:31,280 --> 00:09:33,600
Speaker 1: I do his thing as far as like enjoying retirement

233
00:09:33,640 --> 00:09:35,520

Speaker 1: retirement by the way, Uh, legendary player. I can't I mean,

235
00:09:40,559 --> 00:09:42,439
Speaker 1: I can't say enough things about Hot Tower when I

236
00:09:42,480 --> 00:09:44,720
Speaker 1: came in the building. Always tell him a story how

237
00:09:45,760 --> 00:09:48,160
Speaker 1: uh me being a young player in high school, UH

238
00:09:48,320 --> 00:09:51,000
Speaker 1: reached out to him on Instagram just he was the

239
00:09:51,040 --> 00:09:52,920
Speaker 1: player that I looked up that I looked up to

240
00:09:53,120 --> 00:09:56,559
Speaker 1: him and uh Jamie Collins. UH. So having an opportunity

241
00:09:56,600 --> 00:09:58,840
Speaker 1: to play with both of those guys, and then being

242
00:09:58,880 --> 00:10:02,920
Speaker 1: my mentors and my ogs so to speak, being able

243
00:10:03,000 --> 00:10:05,439
Speaker 1: to grasp all the things that they did, UH and

244
00:10:05,520 --> 00:10:07,400
Speaker 1: being a playing alongside of 'em, I learned a lot.

245
00:10:07,960 --> 00:10:10,280
Speaker 1: UH can't say it enough. We still talk to this day.

246
00:10:11,160 --> 00:10:13,080
Speaker 1: Probably when I get off the podium, we'll be talking

247
00:10:13,120 --> 00:10:15,800
Speaker 1: to each other. So he's definitely a pillar as far

248
00:10:15,880 --> 00:10:18,000

249
00:10:18,240 --> 00:10:18,920

Speaker 1: second chapter of their careers.

254
00:10:27,960 --> 00:10:29,920
Speaker 2: Did you wanted to uh? Over the next twenty four

255
00:10:30,040 --> 00:10:32,080
Speaker 2: forty eight hours, we're gonna find out. With the Patriots

256
00:10:32,160 --> 00:10:36,000
Speaker 2: play in Germany for that one game from as a player,

257
00:10:36,080 --> 00:10:37,880
Speaker 2: What are your thoughts, I'm playing a game in Yermany

258
00:10:40,480 --> 00:10:42,600
Speaker 2: open minded, I'm open minded. I've never been to Germany.

259
00:10:42,679 --> 00:10:45,120
Speaker 1: I'm I've heard nothing but great things about it, uh,

260
00:10:45,160 --> 00:10:47,800
Speaker 1: whether that's from Sea Bass and uh hear and everybody

261
00:10:47,880 --> 00:10:49,880
Speaker 1: have a a great story about it. But playing over that, m'

262
00:10:50,000 --> 00:10:52,599
Speaker 1: that'd be my first time playing, uh, even out of

263
00:10:52,640 --> 00:10:54,920
Speaker 1: the country. So this is this is a whole new

264
00:10:55,000 --> 00:10:56,960
Speaker 1: thing for all of us. So we're excited. I mean,

265
00:10:57,040 --> 00:10:59,199
Speaker 1: you can't at football is football at the end of

266
00:10:59,200 --> 00:11:00,599
Speaker 1: the day. So once you get the field, obviously you

267
00:11:00,679 --> 00:11:02,959
Speaker 1: getting that mold. But just seeing the the opportunity and

268
00:11:03,000 --> 00:11:05,760
Speaker 1: with football is uh is able to take you. It's huge,

269
00:11:05,880 --> 00:11:07,079
Speaker 1: So we're excited about it.

270
00:11:08,040 --> 00:11:12,240
Speaker 2: Your final question, what you say makes a successful voluntary

271
00:11:12,320 --> 00:11:13,200
Speaker 2: offseason program.

272
00:11:14,840 --> 00:11:17,679
Speaker 1: I would say that's real subjective. Uh So, I would say,

273
00:11:17,720 --> 00:11:21,719
Speaker 1: in my opinion me personally, just learn each other. This

274
00:11:21,800 --> 00:11:23,520
Speaker 1: is a huge opportunity. I mean, obviously, you you're not

275
00:11:23,600 --> 00:11:25,520
Speaker 1: going out there competing against each other. There's no wins

276
00:11:25,559 --> 00:11:27,319
Speaker 1: or losses and none of this. But you just look

277
00:11:27,400 --> 00:11:30,320
Speaker 1: to take huge strides, whether that be at this moment

278
00:11:30,400 --> 00:11:31,240
Speaker 1: when the rookies come in.

279
00:11:31,360 --> 00:11:31,800
Speaker 2: Things like that.

280
00:11:32,080 --> 00:11:33,880
Speaker 1: Just being able to learn each other so when we

281
00:11:34,000 --> 00:11:35,800
Speaker 1: come back and when it's time for the for the

282
00:11:35,880 --> 00:11:39,319
Speaker 1: real uh things that start flowing us being able to

283
00:11:39,400 --> 00:11:40,959
Speaker 1: just pick up where we left off and just being

284
00:11:40,960 --> 00:11:43,840
Speaker 1: able to click on all cylinders as much as we can, uh,

285
00:11:44,120 --> 00:11:45,640
Speaker 1: and just put good product out there.

286
00:11:45,800 --> 00:11:46,480
Speaker 2: That's the main thing.

287
00:11:48,360 --> 00:11:50,199
Speaker 1: It's not over your shoulder or anything, but what you

288
00:11:50,360 --> 00:11:52,679
Speaker 1: learn about Chris Ford, uh since he's been here.

289
00:11:52,720 --> 00:11:56,040
Speaker 2: I mean it's not in the room or anything. Uh busy,

290
00:11:57,880 --> 00:11:59,840
Speaker 2: I mean hard worker. Uh, that's one thing that jumps

291
00:11:59,880 --> 00:12:00,240
Speaker 2: out to you.

292
00:12:00,400 --> 00:12:02,839
Speaker 1: I mean we always I've been te telling Chris that

293
00:12:02,920 --> 00:12:04,920
Speaker 1: we knew a lot about him before he even got here,

294
00:12:05,000 --> 00:12:07,599
Speaker 1: watching film and just seeing how hard he plays and

295
00:12:07,679 --> 00:12:10,000
Speaker 1: the impact that he makes on teams. So were excited

296
00:12:10,000 --> 00:12:12,480
Speaker 1: to have him in this building. And I'm excited to

297
00:12:12,559 --> 00:12:14,120
Speaker 1: not have to go against him like that. So no

298
00:12:14,200 --> 00:12:16,480
Speaker 1: more so excited to have Chris and I can't wait

299
00:12:16,520 --> 00:12:18,040
Speaker 1: to see with him and as well as the the

Speaker 1: other guys that we have the opportunity to play with

301
00:12:19,960 --> 00:12:21,959
Speaker 1: and see how we get the pieces together.

302
00:12:23,240 --> 00:12:24,720
Speaker 2: Appreciate you guys, go see us
