1
00:00:01,120 --> 00:00:04,760
Speaker 1: What's uh this week been like with the uncertainty with

2
00:00:04,880 --> 00:00:07,040
Speaker 1: the at the quarterback position, and we'll just have to

3
00:00:07,200 --> 00:00:10,360
Speaker 1: for the rest of you guess Sam with Sam coming

4
00:00:10,400 --> 00:00:12,600
Speaker 1: a fair and get ready to work. Um, you know

5
00:00:12,680 --> 00:00:15,920
Speaker 1: had great starts of the week. Um, I gotta try

6
00:00:15,960 --> 00:00:19,599
Speaker 1: to you know, lock in right now and meet on

7
00:00:19,760 --> 00:00:22,280
Speaker 1: meeting to watch film and then go over to London

8
00:00:22,320 --> 00:00:25,479
Speaker 1: and get ready to go out down before we've seen

9
00:00:25,600 --> 00:00:29,040
Speaker 1: Daniel you know, in little tidbits of him, but he

10
00:00:29,080 --> 00:00:31,200
Speaker 1: looks to be moving pretty well. What do you see

11
00:00:31,200 --> 00:00:33,440
Speaker 1: from him so far this week? Um? I mean I

12
00:00:33,479 --> 00:00:36,199
Speaker 1: really can't speak for him, but at the end of

13
00:00:36,200 --> 00:00:38,199
Speaker 1: the day, like I know DJ, he's a he's a

14
00:00:38,200 --> 00:00:41,159
Speaker 1: heck of a player, head, a competitor, and um, you know,

15
00:00:41,600 --> 00:00:43,600
Speaker 1: let's see what happens. Take one. If I'm not a

16
00:00:43,680 --> 00:00:45,960
Speaker 1: stake of the packers don't usually load up the box,

17
00:00:46,040 --> 00:00:48,440
Speaker 1: at least they haven't this year. When you see that,

18
00:00:48,479 --> 00:00:50,080
Speaker 1: does that kind of make you lick your chops a

19
00:00:50,120 --> 00:00:55,720
Speaker 1: little bit more? Um? I wouldn't really say that, but uh,

20
00:00:55,760 --> 00:00:58,320
Speaker 1: we're we're doing pretty good right now in a run game.

21
00:00:58,400 --> 00:01:00,440
Speaker 1: Really good to be to play, honest, not just myself

22
00:01:00,440 --> 00:01:03,880
Speaker 1: but as a whole um. And you know it's gonna

23
00:01:03,880 --> 00:01:05,200
Speaker 1: be a focal point for a lot of teams to

24
00:01:05,240 --> 00:01:08,120
Speaker 1: try to try to stop us. And you know they're

25
00:01:08,120 --> 00:01:09,480
Speaker 1: gonna a lot of teams. We're gonna do a lot

26
00:01:09,480 --> 00:01:12,240
Speaker 1: of new and different things come over with creative weights.

27
00:01:12,280 --> 00:01:14,280
Speaker 1: But you can't really look too deep in that. Just

28
00:01:14,280 --> 00:01:17,440
Speaker 1: got focused on ourselves in adjust when wherever they come

29
00:01:17,440 --> 00:01:19,240
Speaker 1: out to try to stop up. When you talk about

30
00:01:19,240 --> 00:01:21,440
Speaker 1: the job the Old One has done with one blocking

31
00:01:21,720 --> 00:01:24,560
Speaker 1: for you this year, the Old Line has been incredible. Um.

32
00:01:24,600 --> 00:01:27,720
Speaker 1: You know, every single one of those guys just the

33
00:01:27,760 --> 00:01:29,920
Speaker 1: way that they're they're they're working all on the same page.

34
00:01:29,959 --> 00:01:31,880
Speaker 1: That's that's the beauty of Old Line. You know, it

35
00:01:31,920 --> 00:01:35,840
Speaker 1: takes five guys to be on the same page one player. Um,

36
00:01:35,920 --> 00:01:37,600
Speaker 1: and if one of them just a little bit off,

37
00:01:37,760 --> 00:01:39,800
Speaker 1: or especially with me, if I'm not reading it right

38
00:01:39,840 --> 00:01:41,840
Speaker 1: or I'm not my steps in right, the whole play

39
00:01:41,880 --> 00:01:43,600
Speaker 1: can be messed up. But the Old Line been doing

40
00:01:43,600 --> 00:01:45,479
Speaker 1: a great job. Also we get credit to the tight Ends.

41
00:01:45,480 --> 00:01:48,560
Speaker 1: The tight Ends were doing amazing job. There's one clip

42
00:01:48,640 --> 00:01:51,120
Speaker 1: you know they took the d N and moving five

43
00:01:51,200 --> 00:01:53,480
Speaker 1: ten yards back and you see them celebrating and as

44
00:01:53,480 --> 00:01:55,080
Speaker 1: a back you know, that gets you're excited. Also the

45
00:01:55,080 --> 00:01:57,480
Speaker 1: wide receivers two and uh DJ making a right call.

46
00:01:57,520 --> 00:02:00,400
Speaker 1: So it's been a collective thing. Um. And but the

47
00:02:00,400 --> 00:02:02,200
Speaker 1: beauty is I feel like we've got so much more

48
00:02:02,280 --> 00:02:04,520
Speaker 1: room to to improve and get better, so I just

49
00:02:04,560 --> 00:02:09,160
Speaker 1: keep working on it. Uh what wait, you say you

50
00:02:09,160 --> 00:02:11,720
Speaker 1: have more room to improve? That's just it's just early

51
00:02:11,760 --> 00:02:14,360
Speaker 1: in the year, you know. You know, everyone's continue to

52
00:02:14,400 --> 00:02:16,640
Speaker 1: work and on trying to investigate in the mid season

53
00:02:16,680 --> 00:02:17,920
Speaker 1: for him and then have the mid season for him,

54
00:02:17,960 --> 00:02:18,919
Speaker 1: you know, so on and so on and so on.

55
00:02:19,040 --> 00:02:21,360
Speaker 1: So it's like we just got to continue to find

56
00:02:21,360 --> 00:02:24,280
Speaker 1: the place that we know that works for us, um

57
00:02:24,800 --> 00:02:27,200
Speaker 1: and just go out there and execute it. And uh,

58
00:02:27,200 --> 00:02:28,519
Speaker 1: you know, for me, I got to do a better

59
00:02:28,600 --> 00:02:30,920
Speaker 1: job when old line gives me an opportunity to to

60
00:02:30,960 --> 00:02:35,239
Speaker 1: make defense. Faith Rodgers is wide. Do you considered already

61
00:02:35,280 --> 00:02:37,080
Speaker 1: to be one of the greatest ever in a position?

62
00:02:37,200 --> 00:02:39,520
Speaker 1: How much is that a source of motivation for you?

63
00:02:39,760 --> 00:02:42,800
Speaker 1: Some day? Considered want the best ever? Pay your posession

64
00:02:42,800 --> 00:02:45,080
Speaker 1: because that drives you. Um? Yeah, I mean that's the

65
00:02:45,240 --> 00:02:47,760
Speaker 1: that's the goal. I feel like if that's not your

66
00:02:48,200 --> 00:02:50,280
Speaker 1: your reason, I mean everyone why it is different. I

67
00:02:50,320 --> 00:02:52,919
Speaker 1: can't really say that actually, but for me personally, that's

68
00:02:52,960 --> 00:02:55,640
Speaker 1: the goal. But that's the end goal, you know. I

69
00:02:55,680 --> 00:02:57,519
Speaker 1: can't really look too much into that. It's gotta taken

70
00:02:57,520 --> 00:02:59,320
Speaker 1: one day at a time and try to prove every

71
00:02:59,320 --> 00:03:00,880
Speaker 1: single day and at the end of the day if

72
00:03:00,919 --> 00:03:03,080
Speaker 1: I put in the right work and have the right mindset,

73
00:03:03,280 --> 00:03:05,200
Speaker 1: so I believe I can achieve that. I really do.

74
00:03:05,240 --> 00:03:07,840
Speaker 1: But if I don't, wherever I come up at, I

75
00:03:07,880 --> 00:03:09,320
Speaker 1: know I put a lot of working to be there,

76
00:03:09,360 --> 00:03:10,880
Speaker 1: so I'll be able to look back at it and

77
00:03:11,240 --> 00:03:13,800
Speaker 1: be satisfied. When you go against the guys like that

78
00:03:13,840 --> 00:03:16,320
Speaker 1: always motivates you and you know you're definitely gonna be

79
00:03:16,360 --> 00:03:18,120
Speaker 1: on the sideline looking up to see the things that

80
00:03:18,320 --> 00:03:20,840
Speaker 1: he's able to do. Um. I know him pretty pretty

81
00:03:20,840 --> 00:03:24,880
Speaker 1: well too, so hopefully you know he's obviously he's a Rogers,

82
00:03:24,919 --> 00:03:28,000
Speaker 1: he's gonna be amazing. Hopefully he's not as amazing on Sunday,

83
00:03:28,040 --> 00:03:30,120
Speaker 1: but um, you know, wish nothing but the best of us.

84
00:03:32,240 --> 00:03:35,920
Speaker 1: If Daniel is playing and he's somewhat you know, he's

85
00:03:35,960 --> 00:03:38,600
Speaker 1: not as much a running threat as he has been me.

86
00:03:38,840 --> 00:03:41,320
Speaker 1: That's been a big part of your offense. What changes

87
00:03:41,400 --> 00:03:42,920
Speaker 1: for you? How much does that change stuff for you?

88
00:03:42,960 --> 00:03:46,440
Speaker 1: The defenses maybe like because you've been running that that

89
00:03:46,360 --> 00:03:48,640
Speaker 1: that threat is always there and I think it takes

90
00:03:48,640 --> 00:03:52,480
Speaker 1: a guy out and remember right, UM definitely for me personally,

91
00:03:52,720 --> 00:03:54,960
Speaker 1: I don't really look at it that with UM. I

92
00:03:55,000 --> 00:03:57,520
Speaker 1: look at it is it's focused on on knowing my

93
00:03:57,640 --> 00:03:59,960
Speaker 1: sign and no my rules, no my keys, and make

94
00:04:00,040 --> 00:04:02,080
Speaker 1: so I'm on the same page as that God's up fun. Um,

95
00:04:02,520 --> 00:04:05,080
Speaker 1: That's the only thing I can do. And you know,

96
00:04:05,120 --> 00:04:07,280
Speaker 1: I feel like when when I'm able to do that

97
00:04:07,360 --> 00:04:09,040
Speaker 1: and you know when old line where all of us

98
00:04:09,320 --> 00:04:12,560
Speaker 1: collectively tight ends, um all on the right page. You know,

99
00:04:12,600 --> 00:04:15,160
Speaker 1: we've shown how special we can be. And like I said,

100
00:04:15,160 --> 00:04:16,520
Speaker 1: I feel like we can continue to get better and

101
00:04:16,839 --> 00:04:22,800
Speaker 1: that and that starts to me worried all about I

102
00:04:22,920 --> 00:04:25,679
Speaker 1: miss so many games in the last couple of years,

103
00:04:25,720 --> 00:04:28,960
Speaker 1: Like me complaining about touches and being worried about touches

104
00:04:29,040 --> 00:04:31,719
Speaker 1: like that would be just stupid of me to be

105
00:04:31,720 --> 00:04:34,000
Speaker 1: cold play on. It's like, I'm just blessed and I'm

106
00:04:34,000 --> 00:04:35,960
Speaker 1: happy I get to go out there play the sport

107
00:04:36,000 --> 00:04:38,440
Speaker 1: that I love. And you know, I keep saying that

108
00:04:38,440 --> 00:04:39,600
Speaker 1: I just want to go out there and make plays

109
00:04:39,600 --> 00:04:41,640
Speaker 1: and try to help my team win games. And if

110
00:04:41,640 --> 00:04:43,880
Speaker 1: that means thirty touches and that means thirty touches, or

111
00:04:43,960 --> 00:04:46,839
Speaker 1: that means only five touches and there's only five touches,

112
00:04:46,880 --> 00:04:49,200
Speaker 1: whatever I can do to put my team position to

113
00:04:49,240 --> 00:04:51,200
Speaker 1: win games, That's what I'm willing to do at the

114
00:04:51,320 --> 00:04:53,440
Speaker 1: end of the year. Is there anything that you would

115
00:04:53,560 --> 00:04:55,080
Speaker 1: look back on and be like, wh Wow, that's a

116
00:04:55,080 --> 00:04:58,440
Speaker 1: lot or that's too much. You're just you're good with it.

117
00:04:59,240 --> 00:05:03,120
Speaker 1: Whatever they throw good, whatever they throw up. I guess

118
00:05:03,120 --> 00:05:06,039
Speaker 1: you were at St your fancy Gainst Tennessee. But in

119
00:05:06,120 --> 00:05:08,640
Speaker 1: regards to Derrick Kennedy, but when there are great players

120
00:05:08,920 --> 00:05:11,279
Speaker 1: on the other side, do you think that does maybe

121
00:05:11,279 --> 00:05:15,640
Speaker 1: elevate your own performance just a little bit? Um? I

122
00:05:15,680 --> 00:05:18,560
Speaker 1: mean as a competitor, you know, I could sit here

123
00:05:18,560 --> 00:05:20,200
Speaker 1: and give you guys the same answer I always do, like,

124
00:05:20,400 --> 00:05:22,960
Speaker 1: you know, you're not really competing against them, and that's

125
00:05:22,960 --> 00:05:25,080
Speaker 1: the truth. But I mean, as a competitor, I guess

126
00:05:25,080 --> 00:05:27,600
Speaker 1: it does, um. And that's every week for me. And

127
00:05:27,800 --> 00:05:30,080
Speaker 1: I don't just gotta be a guy like dere Kennedy

128
00:05:30,440 --> 00:05:33,919
Speaker 1: or a guy like Jonathan Taylor. When we play Christian McCaffrey, UM,

129
00:05:34,040 --> 00:05:36,560
Speaker 1: Aaron Jones and j Dylon like those are two extremely

130
00:05:36,560 --> 00:05:39,200
Speaker 1: talented back to every week. For me, you know, you're

131
00:05:39,200 --> 00:05:41,360
Speaker 1: not really competing us then, but you're really competing at

132
00:05:41,400 --> 00:05:43,400
Speaker 1: yourself to you could play honest, but at the end

133
00:05:43,440 --> 00:05:44,920
Speaker 1: of the day for me, I keep saying, at the

134
00:05:45,000 --> 00:05:46,200
Speaker 1: end of the day, for me, I'm just trying to

135
00:05:46,240 --> 00:05:48,240
Speaker 1: go out there just perform at a high level. I'm

136
00:05:48,240 --> 00:05:49,200
Speaker 1: that just want to have to focus on
