1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:07,200
Speaker 1: How they're gone. Great, pretty good, pretty good? Long wait

2
00:00:07,200 --> 00:00:10,799
Speaker 1: over there a little bit, but I'll be hard did worse.

3
00:00:11,840 --> 00:00:13,399
Speaker 1: How do you think it will be to see nikkiel

4
00:00:13,440 --> 00:00:16,080
Speaker 1: on the opposing sideline this week? I'm excited to see

5
00:00:16,120 --> 00:00:18,200
Speaker 1: my guy man. Been a minute, you know when you're

6
00:00:18,200 --> 00:00:21,440
Speaker 1: talking a minute, But it'll be happy to see him, definitely.

7
00:00:21,520 --> 00:00:23,040
Speaker 1: What stands up to you about the three years you

8
00:00:23,040 --> 00:00:26,960
Speaker 1: guys sat together. Uh, we just went through the dog

9
00:00:27,040 --> 00:00:29,520
Speaker 1: days together. You know. It's just it's hard to come

10
00:00:29,520 --> 00:00:31,960
Speaker 1: in and be young here and earn everybody's trust, and

11
00:00:32,600 --> 00:00:34,320
Speaker 1: we stuck it out. We came in together. It was

12
00:00:34,360 --> 00:00:35,879
Speaker 1: a bunch of us, you know, not just me and him,

13
00:00:35,920 --> 00:00:37,440
Speaker 1: but a bunch of the guys. We came in every

14
00:00:37,520 --> 00:00:39,960
Speaker 1: day and pushed each other to be better. You just

15
00:00:39,960 --> 00:00:42,760
Speaker 1: mentioned it's hard to be young and coming into this program.

16
00:00:42,840 --> 00:00:45,440
Speaker 1: What has impressed you about how Taekwons have been able to,

17
00:00:46,000 --> 00:00:48,519
Speaker 1: especially after missing the time that he did, to be

18
00:00:48,560 --> 00:00:52,839
Speaker 1: able to step back in and make place. I mean,

19
00:00:52,880 --> 00:00:55,640
Speaker 1: I'm not surprised. Definitely impressed, but not surprised because he's

20
00:00:55,680 --> 00:00:58,200
Speaker 1: just he loved to be around, you know, he loved

21
00:00:58,200 --> 00:01:00,520
Speaker 1: the guys. He loved a game, so it was just

22
00:01:00,560 --> 00:01:01,960
Speaker 1: a matter of time. Soon as he got healthy, we

23
00:01:02,040 --> 00:01:03,520
Speaker 1: knew he had step out there and make plays. He

24
00:01:03,680 --> 00:01:07,400
Speaker 1: just too much talent, honestly, is a He's a great player.

25
00:01:07,440 --> 00:01:08,600
Speaker 1: In my opinion, I think he'd be in the game

26
00:01:08,640 --> 00:01:10,919
Speaker 1: for a long time. What stands out to you about

27
00:01:11,000 --> 00:01:14,880
Speaker 1: his route running? To be that fast and to stop

28
00:01:14,920 --> 00:01:19,480
Speaker 1: that quick, man, that's tough. You know, a lot of

29
00:01:19,480 --> 00:01:21,320
Speaker 1: guys couldn't do that, to be able to just stop

30
00:01:21,319 --> 00:01:22,840
Speaker 1: on a dime, but at the same time get up

31
00:01:22,840 --> 00:01:25,520
Speaker 1: before it too. So like I said, it's definitely impressive.

32
00:01:25,600 --> 00:01:27,320
Speaker 1: But just seeing how he is around the game and

33
00:01:27,319 --> 00:01:29,120
Speaker 1: how much he loved it, I'm not surprised at all.

34
00:01:29,760 --> 00:01:31,720
Speaker 1: He's been practicing the last few weeks. But what we

35
00:01:31,760 --> 00:01:35,319
Speaker 1: saw today Max really back. He's moving around the vis

36
00:01:35,760 --> 00:01:37,440
Speaker 1: what's it like to have him back at that level

37
00:01:37,560 --> 00:01:40,640
Speaker 1: in practice to start this week? It's always good to

38
00:01:40,680 --> 00:01:43,280
Speaker 1: have a guy's back. You know, Mac is a dog man,

39
00:01:43,319 --> 00:01:45,680
Speaker 1: he's an ultimate competitor. So just having him out there

40
00:01:45,720 --> 00:01:48,960
Speaker 1: and the fighting spirit, it comes back very well with us,

41
00:01:49,040 --> 00:01:50,720
Speaker 1: you know, just guys who wanted to go out there

42
00:01:50,720 --> 00:01:52,720
Speaker 1: and win. And the more you guys got like that

43
00:01:52,760 --> 00:01:54,240
Speaker 1: on the team, the better it is for you. So

44
00:01:54,680 --> 00:01:56,680
Speaker 1: it looked like he was like fully participating rep for

45
00:01:56,720 --> 00:02:00,200
Speaker 1: rep with Bailey. Again, from what we saw is that,

46
00:02:00,520 --> 00:02:03,320
Speaker 1: you know, effect preparation at all, not knowing exactly who's

47
00:02:03,320 --> 00:02:05,920
Speaker 1: gonna be starting on Monday night. No, that's football. We've

48
00:02:05,920 --> 00:02:07,800
Speaker 1: been doing it all our lives, you know. You it's

49
00:02:07,800 --> 00:02:09,280
Speaker 1: a lot of things we don't know. We just show

50
00:02:09,360 --> 00:02:11,680
Speaker 1: up and play when we get there. So we'll figure

51
00:02:11,680 --> 00:02:13,519
Speaker 1: it out and whatever is on the field, you're gonna

52
00:02:13,560 --> 00:02:14,840
Speaker 1: go out there and play the best of our ability.

53
00:02:15,480 --> 00:02:18,240
Speaker 1: For you to have no two quarterbacks you know, like Mac,

54
00:02:19,000 --> 00:02:20,720
Speaker 1: you know how nice report with them, but now also

55
00:02:21,000 --> 00:02:23,560
Speaker 1: barely catching up the speed and seemingly getting better and

56
00:02:23,680 --> 00:02:25,799
Speaker 1: better with you guys every single week. Yeah, I'd say

57
00:02:25,800 --> 00:02:28,359
Speaker 1: it's a blessing honestly, because I mean, the more good

58
00:02:28,360 --> 00:02:30,679
Speaker 1: players you have when your team ready to go, the

59
00:02:30,800 --> 00:02:32,880
Speaker 1: better I think you're doing the long run because whether

60
00:02:32,880 --> 00:02:34,960
Speaker 1: they say football one hundred percent injury right, you know,

61
00:02:35,040 --> 00:02:37,160
Speaker 1: and you never want your guy to go down, but

62
00:02:37,639 --> 00:02:39,359
Speaker 1: in case somebody does, you know you got a good

63
00:02:39,360 --> 00:02:42,519
Speaker 1: player behind him. When that gets able to finally return,

64
00:02:42,840 --> 00:02:46,200
Speaker 1: while he adds to the offense, I have offense get.

65
00:02:46,720 --> 00:02:49,080
Speaker 1: I mean, just the leadership first and foremost. You know,

66
00:02:49,160 --> 00:02:50,960
Speaker 1: he's he's a guy that was kind of getting us

67
00:02:51,000 --> 00:02:53,760
Speaker 1: all together all year. You know, even in OTAs Hell,

68
00:02:53,760 --> 00:02:56,520
Speaker 1: you'll hear his boys the most. So just that leadership

69
00:02:56,560 --> 00:02:59,000
Speaker 1: bringing that back to the team, and you know he's

70
00:02:59,040 --> 00:03:00,960
Speaker 1: gonna make plays. He had on the field too, so

71
00:03:00,960 --> 00:03:02,840
Speaker 1: he's gonna go out there and hopefully he can play,

72
00:03:02,840 --> 00:03:04,720
Speaker 1: and we could see him spending around a little bit.

73
00:03:05,440 --> 00:03:08,800
Speaker 1: Question about Nickiel I saw your the twitch stream broadcast.

74
00:03:08,919 --> 00:03:12,960
Speaker 1: Was it was it? Was it a Mecca? Yeah? Um,

75
00:03:13,440 --> 00:03:16,160
Speaker 1: I heard you talk about how supportive Cam Dooton was

76
00:03:16,280 --> 00:03:19,440
Speaker 1: for you during his time here. You know, when Nikkill

77
00:03:19,600 --> 00:03:21,799
Speaker 1: is here, he also sort of publicly propped him up too.

78
00:03:21,800 --> 00:03:23,600
Speaker 1: But behind the scend of you, do you think Kim

79
00:03:23,760 --> 00:03:26,520
Speaker 1: was like as supportive for nikkiel as he was for you.

80
00:03:27,880 --> 00:03:30,080
Speaker 1: One thing I can say about Kim as a teammate, man,

81
00:03:30,080 --> 00:03:32,560
Speaker 1: I feel like he really tried to treat everybody as

82
00:03:32,600 --> 00:03:34,560
Speaker 1: a member of the team. You know, he he was

83
00:03:34,600 --> 00:03:37,160
Speaker 1: real big on the nicknames and the handshakes and just

84
00:03:37,200 --> 00:03:40,880
Speaker 1: the energy as a person. So I would definitely say so.

85
00:03:41,040 --> 00:03:42,320
Speaker 1: I mean, he just I think he did a really

86
00:03:42,320 --> 00:03:44,920
Speaker 1: good job with just making guys feel included. You also

87
00:03:44,960 --> 00:03:47,640
Speaker 1: talked about, you know, how difficult it was, um, you know,

88
00:03:47,800 --> 00:03:51,480
Speaker 1: kind of getting you know, trust with Tom Brady during

89
00:03:51,480 --> 00:03:52,920
Speaker 1: your first year here. Do you think that was also,

90
00:03:53,120 --> 00:03:55,640
Speaker 1: you know, a struggle for Nickiel too, trying to get

91
00:03:55,640 --> 00:03:58,480
Speaker 1: on the same page with Brady that rookie season. I

92
00:03:58,520 --> 00:04:01,360
Speaker 1: can't speak for him, but I mean, honestly, I don't

93
00:04:01,360 --> 00:04:02,640
Speaker 1: even want to try to speak for him. You know.

94
00:04:02,720 --> 00:04:04,280
Speaker 1: That's if it was for him, I'm not sure if

95
00:04:04,280 --> 00:04:07,360
Speaker 1: it wasn't. I'm not sure. You've been getting a lot

96
00:04:07,360 --> 00:04:11,800
Speaker 1: of attention nationally, especially this last week or so for

97
00:04:11,840 --> 00:04:14,000
Speaker 1: your round running, and I think there's aunch of different numbers.

98
00:04:14,000 --> 00:04:16,200
Speaker 1: I'm looking one right now where you're like, you're sixth

99
00:04:16,240 --> 00:04:18,640
Speaker 1: in the league and in creating over a yard of

100
00:04:18,680 --> 00:04:23,359
Speaker 1: separation my past plays kind of the locket Cooper Cup,

101
00:04:23,800 --> 00:04:26,120
Speaker 1: Jarrett Wilson, Stefan Diggs. That's a pretty good company to

102
00:04:26,160 --> 00:04:29,200
Speaker 1: be in. Sort of what do you attribute from where

103
00:04:29,240 --> 00:04:31,960
Speaker 1: you started to getting to this point to sort of

104
00:04:32,000 --> 00:04:34,159
Speaker 1: get that notoriety and to be able to do what

105
00:04:34,160 --> 00:04:37,160
Speaker 1: you're doing on the field. My failures, you know, I

106
00:04:37,200 --> 00:04:39,080
Speaker 1: feel like I've lost a lot of reps. You know

107
00:04:39,120 --> 00:04:40,880
Speaker 1: a lot of reps of guys haven't seen, or a

108
00:04:40,880 --> 00:04:42,960
Speaker 1: lot of reps in my head that I probably would

109
00:04:43,000 --> 00:04:44,200
Speaker 1: have did this and seen somebody else to do. It

110
00:04:44,279 --> 00:04:47,000
Speaker 1: didn't work. So all the failures that I kind of

111
00:04:47,040 --> 00:04:49,560
Speaker 1: went through and all the tough times, it just came

112
00:04:49,600 --> 00:04:51,200
Speaker 1: back on the back end, you know. It kind of

113
00:04:51,440 --> 00:04:53,280
Speaker 1: came to fruition all the things I thought I could

114
00:04:53,279 --> 00:04:55,800
Speaker 1: do and just learning from every rep I take. It

115
00:04:55,960 --> 00:04:59,200
Speaker 1: ended up making me a better player. I would say so,

116
00:04:59,279 --> 00:05:00,960
Speaker 1: but it ain't done. You you know, six a one,

117
00:05:01,040 --> 00:05:03,600
Speaker 1: so I still got some ways to go. You talked earlier,

118
00:05:04,200 --> 00:05:05,880
Speaker 1: you know, through camp at the offense, you guys will

119
00:05:05,960 --> 00:05:08,160
Speaker 1: learn it. We had some rock. Just what happened? Do

120
00:05:08,200 --> 00:05:11,360
Speaker 1: you feel like you can see now, okay, this is

121
00:05:11,400 --> 00:05:12,680
Speaker 1: what we need to do, And do you feel like

122
00:05:12,680 --> 00:05:16,760
Speaker 1: it's come together nicely as as a group, as a unit? Um,

123
00:05:16,800 --> 00:05:18,840
Speaker 1: I would definitely say so. But at the same time,

124
00:05:18,880 --> 00:05:20,640
Speaker 1: you know, every week in the NFL is a different

125
00:05:20,640 --> 00:05:23,440
Speaker 1: week of his own. So if we're still riding off

126
00:05:23,440 --> 00:05:25,000
Speaker 1: of what we did last week, I think we had

127
00:05:25,040 --> 00:05:26,840
Speaker 1: more trouble than we think we are. So we got

128
00:05:26,839 --> 00:05:29,160
Speaker 1: to come in and practice hard every day. And then

129
00:05:29,240 --> 00:05:31,440
Speaker 1: go out and perform on Monday this week so or

130
00:05:31,480 --> 00:05:33,360
Speaker 1: next week. So just be ready to play every weekend.

131
00:05:33,760 --> 00:05:36,320
Speaker 1: Treat it different every week like Monday football. As a kid,

132
00:05:36,320 --> 00:05:39,200
Speaker 1: what would your first memory of just watching Dick back

133
00:05:39,200 --> 00:05:40,359
Speaker 1: in the day, you know what I mean? I was,

134
00:05:40,680 --> 00:05:42,520
Speaker 1: That's all I watched football for it back then, just

135
00:05:42,520 --> 00:05:46,159
Speaker 1: to watch my VID's. Kobe Ran just talked about how

136
00:05:46,240 --> 00:05:49,680
Speaker 1: much better shape he's in. How does that translate to

137
00:05:49,720 --> 00:05:51,680
Speaker 1: his game's in the all faster? Like? What's what's that

138
00:05:51,800 --> 00:05:55,239
Speaker 1: looking like? These days? Mandre is just a different animal.

139
00:05:55,360 --> 00:05:57,680
Speaker 1: What is he way? Like two thirty something? But he

140
00:05:57,720 --> 00:05:59,600
Speaker 1: can break your ankles running you over, you know what

141
00:05:59,640 --> 00:06:02,000
Speaker 1: I mean. So I'm sure definitely being in shape allows

142
00:06:02,040 --> 00:06:04,640
Speaker 1: him to play better for longer. But I think Mandre

143
00:06:04,760 --> 00:06:07,400
Speaker 1: is gonna be Mondre regardless of He's just a good player.

144
00:06:07,400 --> 00:06:09,000
Speaker 1: In my opinion, I'm a big fan of Remndra. I

145
00:06:09,000 --> 00:06:10,280
Speaker 1: feel like he can make a lot of plays to

146
00:06:10,440 --> 00:06:12,720
Speaker 1: catch the ball, running the ball, so I think it

147
00:06:12,760 --> 00:06:17,840
Speaker 1: would have been good gives the team when he I mean,

148
00:06:17,839 --> 00:06:19,600
Speaker 1: you guys, dont you were doing it? In the Steeler game,

149
00:06:19,720 --> 00:06:21,760
Speaker 1: ran over a couple of guys to get the first down.

150
00:06:21,760 --> 00:06:25,480
Speaker 1: But his power and putting guys on their back for

151
00:06:25,560 --> 00:06:27,960
Speaker 1: the team energy runs. I would definitely say it gives

152
00:06:28,000 --> 00:06:30,480
Speaker 1: you a burst of energy, you know. I mean As

153
00:06:30,640 --> 00:06:32,240
Speaker 1: for me though, I kind of watch it as like

154
00:06:32,320 --> 00:06:34,480
Speaker 1: a fan while I'm out there sometimes just seeing guys
