Speaker 1: a little yeah, you know what I mean.
Speaker 3: You can feel it?
Speaker 2: Yeah, you can feel it a little bit, feel a
Speaker 2: little I mean you're going to your sophomore year.
Speaker 3: Right, yeah? How old?
Speaker 4: Eighteen?
Speaker 3: Wow? You're still eighteen? When's your birthday?
Speaker 4: May?
Speaker 3: Nice?
Speaker 5: Bro?
Speaker 4: So I'm pretty young.
Speaker 2: Any big plans for your birthday coming up?
Speaker 6: Fred's David Buster's probably probably David Busters, Yeah, busties, honest,
Speaker 6: probably football, so we'll probably still be here.
Speaker 1: Dude, talk about your first year like you were a
Speaker 1: true freshman, you know, we can talk about how you
Speaker 1: didn't get out of bounds right away in the Florida
Speaker 1: State game. We can also talk about the two point
Speaker 1: conversion it gets Bama to win the game.
Speaker 5: I mean, or wherever you want.
Speaker 6: Yeah, the whole the whole season was crazy. I mean,
Speaker 6: coming from high school, it's one hundred percent different from
Speaker 6: how you prepare. And then the games and basically the crowd.
Speaker 6: That was the biggest thing to me.
Speaker 4: I remember the first game going out out there, I
Speaker 4: was like, what the hell is this?
Speaker 6: Just like going on seeing eighty thousand people just watching
Speaker 6: you and I that was again with the first wake
Speaker 6: up call to college was probably after that game. I've
Speaker 6: gotten so many hate comments and dms after that. My
Speaker 6: phone was blowing up. I'm like, what is this? And
Speaker 6: I had a buddy, Garrett Nessmayer telling me the shower.
Speaker 6: He was like, he was like, welcome to college football.
Speaker 6: Like your phone's gonna be ringing twenty four to seven.
Speaker 6: So that was that was my big wake up call, basically,
Speaker 6: welcome college football. A bunch of people out there talking
Speaker 6: shit about you or whatever. But the whole the whole
Speaker 6: season has been amazing. I mean, throw the ups and
Speaker 6: downs bad games to your good games. I mean, like
Speaker 6: you said, the Bama game was insane, After that it
Speaker 6: was it was even more fun. But that whole, that whole,
Speaker 6: the whole experience, the whole season has been been awesome
Speaker 6: and it's a great ride.
Speaker 4: And I'm looking forward to next year too. Brother.
Speaker 2: It seems like you there was a lot of ups
Speaker 2: and downs, but dealing with the haters of social media,
Speaker 2: everyone's got a voice. Now, I'm curious, as young as
Speaker 2: you are, how did you after that first game and
Speaker 2: you're still getting all this hate mail and all this
Speaker 2: different stuff, Like how did you handle that in your
Speaker 2: head at going further into your your freshman year.
Speaker 6: Yeah, I mean at first it was like kind of
Speaker 6: like you kind of trying to come up with excuse
Speaker 6: and stuff like that.
Speaker 4: But you kind of just gotta all all all your tough.
Speaker 6: Like I would say, like you kind of try to
Speaker 6: defend yourself like, oh it wasn't me and blah blah blah.
Speaker 6: But you kind of half the people, or more than
Speaker 6: half the people, don't even know what the fuck they're
Speaker 6: talking about. So I think that's that's a big thing.
Speaker 6: Just dial Yeah, and basically basically just looking at like
Speaker 6: your support, like your teammates and coaches, like this is
Speaker 6: the only people we need and the only people we have.
Speaker 4: So in your family.
Speaker 6: But other than that, I think after that first game,
Speaker 6: all the other hate I came after that, I kind
Speaker 6: of just brush it off your shoulders and keep playing.
Speaker 6: And then it happens moments like like the Bamma game,
Speaker 6: I had people telling me and my DMS, I'm sorry,
Speaker 6: and I would scroll up and it was like if
Speaker 6: you blah blah blah blah, and it's the same people
Speaker 6: what I was saying a few week one.
Speaker 4: So uh so, yeah, I just let to brush off
Speaker 4: my shoulders.
Speaker 6: Now I really don't mind it at all. But it's
Speaker 6: definitely been.
Speaker 2: Growing out yourself in a little bit of a hole there, thinking,
Speaker 2: like you said, the excuses, which everyone does. Every someone
Speaker 2: like points something out like oh like when I was
Speaker 2: like you give up the sack and you be like, bro,
Speaker 2: that wasn't me. But like getting away from the keyboard
Speaker 2: is say like, because you don't have to fight, that
Speaker 2: battle has got to be tough to do.
Speaker 6: Definitely, the tough part is not trying to respond back,
Speaker 6: because you respond and then it just so that I've
Speaker 6: never respawned in one of those, and.
Speaker 2: He did respond like once in a while though, like
Speaker 2: sometimes you gotta let her. Let a fucker know, like, hey, listen, you.
Speaker 1: Talked about that social social brand. Yeah, yeah, sure, because
Speaker 1: it's something that's constant, Like it's not you handle it
Speaker 1: when you're eighteen, so it never happened again. Like I
Speaker 1: was still fighting the same demons at twenty seven in
Speaker 1: the league, just thinking about like, you know, because you
Speaker 1: take everything personal because you care so much.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you hear a lot and people don't see how
Speaker 2: much you put into it.
Speaker 4: Exactly, and you just want to be keyboard warriors.
Speaker 6: Yeah, and you and you're like, yeah, what the hell
Speaker 6: is going on accounts that have one one follower? Yeah dude,
Speaker 6: always him too, no profile pick. They made it up,
Speaker 6: like damn yeah that day they made.
Speaker 3: It the matter the most for whatever reason.
Speaker 2: You'll see like nine comments are like all positive and
Speaker 2: there's that tenth one. Yeah, that one's like you suck
Speaker 2: something basic?
Speaker 3: Yeah, bro, do I nerve?
Speaker 2: Yeah, it does. Working through that stuff and it's only
Speaker 2: gonna get worse, honestly, Like the because you seem like
Speaker 2: you're the from the beginning of the year to the
Speaker 2: end of the year from MO everyone was telling us
Speaker 2: about you is that you started to do this. So
Speaker 2: you have a lot to look forward to, especially in
Speaker 2: your college career, Like as you become more of a
Speaker 2: nationally recognized player, there's gonna be more hate. Like some
Speaker 2: dude in Philadelphia, does it come for you?
Speaker 3: He doesn't even know yet. It's one game, Yeah.
Speaker 2: That's what it is. What are your expectations going into
Speaker 2: this sophomore year ending the way your freshman year did.
Speaker 2: And also you didn't even early enroll, Like you just
Speaker 2: showed up to campus and you're like, I'm just gonna
Speaker 2: play for LSU immediately.
Speaker 6: Yeah, it definitely took a lot of work to get
Speaker 6: back in the and really the playbook is the hardest thing.
Speaker 6: I mean there's so many ins and outs, and you
Speaker 6: can know the plays, but you can know that you
Speaker 6: have to know the defenses and like what they do
Speaker 6: and stuff and that.
Speaker 4: So it was definitely a lot to handle.
Speaker 6: So going into this season, I think I definitely have
Speaker 6: high expectations and I'm looking forward to that. I mean,
Speaker 6: that's why i came here and that's what I'm gonna do.
Speaker 6: But yeah, I definitely have high expectations, but I think
Speaker 6: I think I'm gonna have a great year and learn
Speaker 6: from my mistakes from last year and watch the film
Speaker 6: and get with the coaches and see how I can
Speaker 6: exceed and keep getting better because I don't want to be, you.
Speaker 4: Know, constant. It's like an average player.
Speaker 6: You want to keep getting better and better until you
Speaker 6: until you retire, until your time's come.
Speaker 5: What made you want to come to LSU?
Speaker 4: See that? I honestly don't know.
Speaker 6: I mean I've had I have, I had twenty something offers,
Speaker 6: but I would talk to Florida, Bama and here, and
Speaker 6: I think, like, I think it was kind of God
Speaker 6: because at first Alabama would kind of it was like
Speaker 6: kind of like brushing me off their shoulders, like I
Speaker 6: would hear less and less from them. Same with Florida.
Speaker 6: I mean, Florida had a coaching change too, but I
Speaker 6: feel like it worked out perfect because every school like
Speaker 6: started talking to me less except for LSU. So I
Speaker 6: think it was that was like the opening window, like
Speaker 6: they actually care about me. So I'm gonna come here,
Speaker 6: But first I wanted to start and uh, I mean
Speaker 6: stay in Florida because I'm from for Lauderdale. So I
Speaker 6: really liked UF, but they again they brushed me off
Speaker 6: their shoulders, and I think it just everything was pointing
Speaker 6: to LSU and I was like, but can I do that?
Speaker 4: And then it was just pointing LSU. So I think
Speaker 4: I just made it just in the.
Speaker 5: Come here so that Bama game field sweet?
Speaker 4: Then yeah, yeah.
Speaker 3: Like I kind of got brush up.
Speaker 2: Then you can get made a mistake too. That could
Speaker 2: have been a slam dunk. Yeah in your backyard.
Speaker 6: My dad is really good friends with Saban because he
Speaker 6: played for him at the Dolphins, So that was that
Speaker 6: he I think I think he might have gave him
Speaker 6: a call to that game. Savan gave my dad a
Speaker 6: call and and talk ship or whatever, but it.
Speaker 1: Was it was your dad wanting you to go to
Speaker 1: BAM or play for saving or how is your old
Speaker 1: man in this?
Speaker 3: So then because obviously you come.
Speaker 1: From a pedigree of Jason Taylor, I mean Zach Thomas
Speaker 1: is in there too, Like how pivotal was your dad
Speaker 1: in all this recruiting.
Speaker 6: I mean he let me do make the right decisions
Speaker 6: and make my decision like what I want to do,
Speaker 6: But he definitely wanted me to go to a big program.
Speaker 6: But he was he was fin He loves l s
Speaker 6: U now, but he he loved Bama l s U.
Speaker 6: He loved the top schools, he loved the SEC. He
Speaker 6: didn't want me going to a CC or anywhere like that.
Speaker 6: He wanted me to go to big time down.
Speaker 2: He didn't look at the big ten. Michigan off for you.
Speaker 4: Uh No, Michigan did not offer me.
Speaker 3: What about Nebraska? The Nebraska shot.
Speaker 4: They didn't offer me either.
Speaker 6: But no, my mind was focused on the SEC too
Speaker 6: at that point.
Speaker 2: Damn bro, Yeah you got these boys brainwashing south bum Nah.
Speaker 4: I think he was happy with my decision.
Speaker 2: Yeah, when you got when you left Florida came to Louisiana, Like,
Speaker 2: what was it like acclimating to this kind of culture
Speaker 2: because it's a very unique culture, a lot of French influence.
Speaker 2: Everyone here just rides with LSU always. It's gotta be fun.
Speaker 2: But like, was there a difference for you between Florida?
Speaker 4: There's not much except the food.
Speaker 6: I mean the first first couple of weeks I got here,
Speaker 6: I game maybe fifteen pounds, asked, yeah, yeah exactly. So
Speaker 6: other than that the food, I mean, the culture is differently.
Speaker 6: Oh of football here is like so important, and you
Speaker 6: see fans everywhere at the airport screaming and are like,
Speaker 6: I've been screaming out of the airport, amazing, like all
Speaker 6: that stuff. So the fans are definitely fans are definitely crazy,
Speaker 6: but they're kind of, I want to say, I want
Speaker 6: to say this the nicest way I would say, bipolar.
Speaker 6: I mean they kind of hate you one week, love it. Yeah,
Speaker 6: hate you one week, love you the next. So I
Speaker 6: mean it's definitely great, but at the same time, it
Speaker 6: sucks kind of but they're they're great fans. I mean,
Speaker 6: every every Saturday they're in, they're packing it out, screaming
Speaker 6: on top of their lungs. So it's definitely definitely a
Speaker 6: different culture, but I love it.
Speaker 5: Eagles by the Philadelphia Eagles vibe.
Speaker 2: Yeah, Louisiana does have it.
Speaker 1: They love it so much. So if you lose or whatever,
Speaker 1: it just it literally ruins.
Speaker 2: All of them have a clockie. When football season ends,
Speaker 2: it's like, fuck, dude, there's this many days till next football. Yeah,
Speaker 2: we're that excited about it.
Speaker 5: Yeah, what should we hear with them next? What?
Speaker 2: What if you want?
Speaker 5: What was the laugh?
Speaker 2: I was just laughing at you?
Speaker 1: What was I doing? My thinking face. Yeah, you gotta
Speaker 1: think of where can you go with this?
Speaker 5: Like?
Speaker 1: Do we ask him more about his old man? Your
Speaker 1: dad was a legend. What was it like growing up
Speaker 1: under his roof?
Speaker 3: Was it?
Speaker 1: Did it suck at times? Was it like you all
Speaker 1: want to carve my own lane about growing up in
Speaker 1: that house?
Speaker 6: I mean a lot of a lot of peop people
Speaker 6: say like let them let him build his own path
Speaker 6: or whatever, But I don't. I don't like when people say, oh,
Speaker 6: Jason Teler song, I don't mind. It doesn't bother me
Speaker 6: at all. I mean, uh, my dad did what he
Speaker 6: did in the league. I mean, yeah, I'm trying to
Speaker 6: create my own path too, But I don't mind when
Speaker 6: people say, oh, he's Jason Deeler's son. People Actually, some
Speaker 6: people get mad and they're like they're like, oh, let
Speaker 6: him have his own past.
Speaker 4: I mentioned his dad, his uncle, blah blah blah.
Speaker 6: Like I think, I think that's cool to be honest
Speaker 6: with with them both playing football, on them being so
Speaker 6: good at what they're at so But other than that, yeah,
Speaker 6: I mean, it wasn't anything crazy. I feel like I
Speaker 6: feel at a young age, I really didn't think of.
Speaker 4: It like that. Yeah, I was like, my dad plays football,
Speaker 4: blah blah blah.
Speaker 6: But I didn't think he was like that good until
Speaker 6: I grew up and saw like what he did and
Speaker 6: actually as accomplished.
Speaker 1: So what old were you when you start figuring out
Speaker 1: like he was a savage and your uncle like Zach Thomas.
Speaker 6: My teens, savage teens, I'd say, yeah, eleven, twelve, thirteen,
Speaker 6: when you start getting the phone and stuff like that.
Speaker 2: But people come over to your house, you're like, holy shit, dude,
Speaker 2: you know wreck dudes, right, yeah, dude, when when you
Speaker 2: look towards the future NFL, would you grew up as
Speaker 2: a fan of Dolphins?
Speaker 6: Yeah, you could say. I mean, I'm not really a
Speaker 6: fan of any NFL team. I don't watch the NFL.
Speaker 6: I think college is way more interesting to watch. But
Speaker 6: I would say, yeah, the Dolphins with my dad and
Speaker 6: uncle played for there. But what are you trying to say, Like, if.
Speaker 2: We're looking, if you're thinking like the future, this is
Speaker 2: where I would want to play.
Speaker 6: I want to go to Miami if you want to
Speaker 6: go to Miami, Yeah, not just because my dad was there,
Speaker 6: but just the area. I mean, I don't want to
Speaker 6: live in just Yeah, exactly somewhere breezing cold. Yeah, but
Speaker 6: Miami out because living there and it's really nice and
Speaker 6: stuff like that. I want to live where I grew up.
Speaker 1: Who do you watch in the league and want to
Speaker 1: mold your game after? Like who are tight ends you
Speaker 1: watch weekend and week out?
Speaker 4: Travis Kelcey, Travis Kelcey.
Speaker 6: George Kittle is another good one, boy Andrews from Baltimore,
Speaker 6: But yeah, mainly Travis kelce because I mean, blocking all around.
Speaker 6: George kill is amazing, but I think I think Travis
Speaker 6: kelce is route running opens up so many things Kan
Speaker 6: City could do for them. So definitely watching him and
Speaker 6: just his routes and stuff like that. He just knows
Speaker 6: how to get open. I don't really know how to
Speaker 6: explain it. I mean, he just knows where people are
Speaker 6: gonna be and just goes in between him and stuff
Speaker 6: like that. It's kind of if you really watch it,
Speaker 6: it's really like nice to see. But that's why I
Speaker 6: watch him probably the most out of everyone.
Speaker 2: When you think about your personal development going from year
Speaker 2: one to year two, what are the major things that
Speaker 2: you think you should focus on to become a better
Speaker 2: all around player?
Speaker 4: Definitely gets stronger.
Speaker 6: You know, I'm being eighteen years old in the SEC
Speaker 6: is kind of hard putting your nose in there with
Speaker 6: all those defensive ends that are six six two seventy
Speaker 6: and stuff like that. So definitely gets stronger, stronger, faster,
Speaker 6: definitely better blocking, catching too, I mean just like almost
Speaker 6: like everything whatever.
Speaker 3: Yeah, no, what do you feel like you lack?
Speaker 6: Most probably pass protection because we we also as tight ends.
Speaker 4: We block a lot in this program.
Speaker 6: So if that's an inside zone, outside zone, and we'll
Speaker 6: probably pass pro maybe ten times a game, yeah, and
Speaker 6: we'll probably run block maybe thirty forty thirty five times,
Speaker 6: maybe half the play is probably running. So definitely, yeah, blocking,
Speaker 6: but I think past past probably definitely need to work on.
Speaker 2: There's got to be a crazy level of anxiety you
Speaker 2: get when a play action passes called on the back
Speaker 2: end because you're you're going against their pass rusher.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and you're usually by.
Speaker 2: Yourself because the other offense linemen are in combination. Yeah,
Speaker 2: that's gotta be.
Speaker 6: Yeah, definitely, And definitely when we're in a boundary or
Speaker 6: something like that and we're going against their jack, their
Speaker 6: their pass rusher, and yeah, you're putting me on their
Speaker 6: pass rushers, Like.
Speaker 2: It's a crazy concept.
Speaker 6: But put her put our all American Will Campbell on them,
Speaker 6: put Memry Jones on them.
Speaker 4: Why do I have to block one on?
Speaker 2: Implement stuff in your in your in those calls where
Speaker 2: if like let's say the tackle on the garter in combination,
Speaker 2: once he knows that their backers not coming, do they
Speaker 2: tell him to look out to help you?
Speaker 3: Yeah?
Speaker 4: Some Yeah, there's some some plays like that.
Speaker 2: Yeah, because you need that. And if I were you,
Speaker 2: if I was, what's that? That's what I was gonna say.
Speaker 2: I would I would sit a brother that backer doesn't come,
Speaker 2: you get they.
Speaker 3: Will, they will right away.
Speaker 2: Look at this look at this guy, because it's like
Speaker 2: you can be a great pass blocker as a tight end,
Speaker 2: but at the end of the day, like you weigh
Speaker 2: as much as the other individual and he is trained.
Speaker 2: You're more so trained to right. You want to get
Speaker 2: in front of the guy and die slow death. He's
Speaker 2: trying to get to the quarterback and you want to
Speaker 2: catch the ball. So it's like a way harder process.
Speaker 2: Like when you go through that, it's like, hey, just
Speaker 2: don't get beat inside.
Speaker 6: Yeah, but I try not to jump at him too much.
Speaker 6: Trying to not do that, Yeah, because if they and
Speaker 6: go right to the quarterback, that's on me. So I
Speaker 6: try not to jump at him. I kind of try
Speaker 6: to just stay patient. The main thing is I put
Speaker 6: my hands outside a lot, and I bet you any
Speaker 6: defense knows that was or tape. I put my hands outside,
Speaker 6: So that's another thing I'll work on, is putting my
Speaker 6: hands inside.
Speaker 4: But yeah, other than that, pass protection, I definitely need
Speaker 4: to work on what's the of.
Speaker 2: Stress in pass protection? When the guy's inside you or
Speaker 2: in like head up on you or outside you, what
Speaker 2: are you like?
Speaker 6: Man outside outside and outside you're by yourself. If he's inside,
Speaker 6: you can wash him into the tack.
Speaker 2: Yeah, hopefully put him into the legs or something.
Speaker 6: Trip him up if he if he's outside of me,
Speaker 6: then I'm like, shit.
Speaker 2: You try to get that shitty passed that in like
Speaker 2: let me see what those boys been doing over there.
Speaker 6: Then he's got inside outside through you to go through.
Speaker 2: So do you ever think about living and dying by
Speaker 2: the sort of like, Hey, this is a play action,
Speaker 2: So I'm gonna run at this guy and make him
Speaker 2: hopefully hopefully he thinks he's a run run. Well, a
Speaker 2: lot of guys in the SEC are playing past first.
Speaker 4: I think they'll play pass first a little. Yeah. Yeah.
Speaker 2: If they're playing past first, you gotta and you also
Speaker 2: got to understand the sticks, right, yeah, exactly, second and
Speaker 2: ten if to get back on track play you need
Speaker 2: to get your exactly exactly.
Speaker 5: What what game are you looking forward to most this year?
Speaker 6: Florida stated percent The way we lost last year is brutal,
Speaker 6: and I think we have a lot to prove this year.
Speaker 6: I mean it was our first time when we played them.
Speaker 6: Last years are first time to all together, new staff,
Speaker 6: a bunch of new players, So definitely, definitely Florida State.
Speaker 4: We got to get our link back for sure.
Speaker 2: Yeah, growing up because a lot of guys here are
Speaker 2: talking about how you from a situational standpoint, like you
Speaker 2: understand the game and you're in that two minute drive
Speaker 2: at the end of the game, were you thinking I
Speaker 2: got to get out of balance right now? And how
Speaker 2: much does coach Kelly preach like situational football four minute
Speaker 2: two minutes?
Speaker 4: Yeah?
Speaker 6: We yeah, for all these all these situations we do
Speaker 6: in practice. I mean like yesterday or Tuesday, we had
Speaker 6: four periods of two minutes like in our coaches and
Speaker 6: meetings spend fifteen minutes talking about about if you get
Speaker 6: the first down, clock stops, if we have so many
Speaker 6: different calls and signals for like if we need to
Speaker 6: get the first down and take a knee like and
Speaker 6: get down on the ground, we need to save time.
Speaker 6: We I mean, they go through everything. So it's definitely
Speaker 6: really important. I think that's just one of those things
Speaker 6: that you're in that moment and the balls coming here,
Speaker 6: and you know, like, yeah, I need to catch this ball,
Speaker 6: but I need to get my ass out of bounce,
Speaker 6: you know what I mean. So that was definitely what
Speaker 6: was going through my head right there, is like catch
Speaker 6: the ball if you could score or score, but don't
Speaker 6: be a here, don't be like trying to be a
Speaker 6: hero and get tackled on the one. We don't have
Speaker 6: any timeouts and the game's over, you know what I mean.
Speaker 6: So yeah, my ass was headed right to that pylon.
Speaker 6: If I can get it, if it clears up, I'm
Speaker 6: gonna go die for it. But if now I'm jumping
Speaker 6: out of bounds. And then I saw I saw there's
Speaker 6: a couple of dudes by the pilon, and I'm like, yeah,
Speaker 6: let me get my ass out of bounds.
Speaker 4: I'm just sprinting over there and just dove.
Speaker 6: I actually one dude try to swipe my feet on
Speaker 6: the way over there, and I jumped over him and
Speaker 6: you see it on the replay my ankle, like I
Speaker 6: fucked on my ankle really bad when I when I
Speaker 6: did that, and I landed like this, and that's why
Speaker 6: I was stumbling, and that's when I dove out of bounds. Said,
Speaker 6: I twisted my ankle really bad.
Speaker 2: But they said your knee was still in bounce or
Speaker 2: your was your elbow.
Speaker 4: I think I think it was my knee.
Speaker 3: My knee that would have been alive.
Speaker 5: Like if they would have called it would have been.
Speaker 6: Over since it was a down though the clock stopped
Speaker 6: and we got another play. If they called it right
Speaker 6: there down, then we would they would have spotted the ball.
Speaker 6: The ball would have been over.
Speaker 2: In those situational situations, what are you telling yourself going
Speaker 2: to the line, Like if you're in a two minute situation,
Speaker 2: there's like ten seconds left and you have to get
Speaker 2: a field goal, Like for the guys that are watching
Speaker 2: this looking up to you already, Like one of the
Speaker 2: things you tell yourself in your mind.
Speaker 4: Just stick to what you're taught.
Speaker 6: I mean, yeah, like you said, ten seconds left, you
Speaker 6: if you get the ball, get out of bounds. If
Speaker 6: you if you catch the ball in bounds and you
Speaker 6: get a certain amount of yards, if you get the
Speaker 6: first down, get down.
Speaker 4: If you get a certain amount.
Speaker 6: Of the yards and you get tackled, run the ball
Speaker 6: to the ref and there'd be a mad eight call
Speaker 6: on a a field goal team start running on. So
Speaker 6: you really just gotta you gotta really think, and you
Speaker 6: gotta be smart in those situations so you don't screw
Speaker 6: over your team.
Speaker 4: But there's definitely a lot of pressure.
Speaker 6: But once you once like we wrap it up in
Speaker 6: practice almost every day, and I think you just stick
Speaker 6: to the fundamentals and what you're coached, and you'll be
Speaker 6: prepared for those moments.
Speaker 1: And making sure your teammates are. You know, some times
Speaker 1: when you're getting late in the game to everybody is
