4
00:00:12,360 --> 00:00:15,280
Speaker 1: had a chance to talk with linebacker Roe Kwan Smith,

5
00:00:15,320 --> 00:00:19,160
Speaker 1: who just wrapped up practice at the Tottenham facility here

6
00:00:19,239 --> 00:00:20,040
Speaker 1: outside London.

7
00:00:22,560 --> 00:00:24,560
Speaker 2: So what's kind of your your impressions of just the

8
00:00:24,920 --> 00:00:25,840
Speaker 2: facility here.

9
00:00:26,040 --> 00:00:28,800
Speaker 3: At top Yeah, No, it's an amazing facility of just

10
00:00:28,840 --> 00:00:31,480
Speaker 3: being here and seeing that they definitely take good care

11
00:00:31,480 --> 00:00:32,600
Speaker 3: of their players in the fields.

12
00:00:32,600 --> 00:00:33,600
Speaker 4: Man, they're pretty sweet.

13
00:00:33,640 --> 00:00:35,440
Speaker 3: Like even the ones we didn't get the chance to

14
00:00:35,440 --> 00:00:37,560
Speaker 3: practice on, like, they're pretty sweet.

15
00:00:37,640 --> 00:00:39,760
Speaker 4: So I'm a fan.

16
00:00:41,320 --> 00:00:43,320
Speaker 5: Brock when we just so dank the Java come in

17
00:00:43,320 --> 00:00:45,639
Speaker 5: and I hope Jimmy Pop Patty's wee ken. But when

18
00:00:45,680 --> 00:00:47,280
Speaker 5: he does get fit, when he is healthy and ready

19
00:00:47,280 --> 00:00:48,920
Speaker 5: slug and how good can he be in this league?

20
00:00:49,159 --> 00:00:49,360
Speaker 4: Yeah?

21
00:00:49,440 --> 00:00:52,519
Speaker 3: No, I think Jappo has a lot of potential. You know,

22
00:00:52,560 --> 00:00:55,040
Speaker 3: it was just more so about you know, being healthy

23
00:00:55,040 --> 00:00:57,560
Speaker 3: and whatnot. So I'm very excited for him to get

24
00:00:57,600 --> 00:01:00,160
Speaker 3: back out there when he when he's healthy, because I

25
00:01:00,200 --> 00:01:02,160
Speaker 3: think he can do a lot of good things and

26
00:01:02,200 --> 00:01:04,839
Speaker 3: We've seen that before. When he's actually on the field,

27
00:01:04,880 --> 00:01:07,559
Speaker 3: he definitely can produce. So as long as he get healthy,

28
00:01:07,600 --> 00:01:09,440
Speaker 3: man definitely love to see him back out there.

29
00:01:09,880 --> 00:01:13,639
Speaker 6: Brokewan John Harball was pretty specific about why they chose

30
00:01:13,720 --> 00:01:17,040
Speaker 6: to travel when they did. How do you feel physically

31
00:01:17,120 --> 00:01:19,560
Speaker 6: now that you've had a what a three night's sleep

32
00:01:19,560 --> 00:01:22,760
Speaker 6: almost in London already? How do you feel your body reacting?

33
00:01:23,040 --> 00:01:25,200
Speaker 3: Oh, very well, Like I've been going to sleep like

34
00:01:25,240 --> 00:01:29,440
Speaker 3: I feel like you know UK, But I don't know

35
00:01:29,440 --> 00:01:31,959
Speaker 3: how good that actually was. But I've been going to

36
00:01:31,959 --> 00:01:34,119
Speaker 3: sleep like around like eleven or so, so it's kind

37
00:01:34,120 --> 00:01:36,080
Speaker 3: of been like and waking up around like seven eight,

38
00:01:36,480 --> 00:01:39,080
Speaker 3: like eight more so in the morning. So it's been

39
00:01:39,080 --> 00:01:41,440
Speaker 3: pretty good for me. And I feel like I'm adjusted

40
00:01:41,720 --> 00:01:44,320
Speaker 3: on the time zone. I think tonight will be the best,

41
00:01:44,360 --> 00:01:46,160
Speaker 3: probably the best night of sleep, whereas I feel like

42
00:01:46,160 --> 00:01:49,360
Speaker 3: I've gotten even more acclimated, so I'm excited about that.

43
00:01:49,680 --> 00:01:51,920
Speaker 6: Did you play in London at all in your career?

44
00:01:52,080 --> 00:01:52,320
Speaker 4: Yeah?

45
00:01:52,320 --> 00:01:55,720
Speaker 3: I did back in twenty nineteen, Chicago versus Vegas.

46
00:01:55,760 --> 00:01:58,080
Speaker 4: There was the Oakland in at that time.

47
00:01:59,000 --> 00:02:02,440
Speaker 6: He has the best as the worst.

48
00:02:02,680 --> 00:02:06,120
Speaker 3: I probably have the worst, and then I'm sure, some

49
00:02:06,160 --> 00:02:07,640
Speaker 3: other people have the worst because I can get by

50
00:02:07,680 --> 00:02:08,040
Speaker 3: with a couple.

51
00:02:08,040 --> 00:02:09,560
Speaker 4: I can say a few words here and there.

52
00:02:09,600 --> 00:02:12,360
Speaker 3: But I heard Tuck talk today, and Tuck actually a

53
00:02:12,400 --> 00:02:14,480
Speaker 3: couple of the nice people over at the hotel.

54
00:02:14,840 --> 00:02:15,960
Speaker 4: I was like, oh my god.

55
00:02:16,480 --> 00:02:18,400
Speaker 3: They was like his was pretty good, you know what

56
00:02:18,400 --> 00:02:22,640
Speaker 3: I mean? So like, yeah, but mine is not the best.

57
00:02:23,000 --> 00:02:24,600
Speaker 6: What are your good ones that you can get by with.

58
00:02:26,760 --> 00:02:28,600
Speaker 3: Let's have a proper English speck for us.

59
00:02:29,320 --> 00:02:32,280
Speaker 4: That's probably not good. That's probably not good. A wataie

60
00:02:32,800 --> 00:02:33,160
Speaker 4: like ye.

61
00:02:35,720 --> 00:02:38,720
Speaker 3: As someone who has already been to London would where

62
00:02:39,120 --> 00:02:42,400
Speaker 3: probably the craziest questions you were asked by the teammates.

63
00:02:43,680 --> 00:02:45,400
Speaker 4: Well, some teammates. It's kind of funny.

64
00:02:45,400 --> 00:02:48,440
Speaker 3: It has never really been outside of America, Like, it's

65
00:02:48,520 --> 00:02:49,079
Speaker 3: kind of funny.

66
00:02:49,080 --> 00:02:50,600
Speaker 4: I'm just like, bro, it's.

67
00:02:50,400 --> 00:02:53,200
Speaker 3: So many dudes that make, you know, crazy means for

68
00:02:53,240 --> 00:02:55,280
Speaker 3: themselves and create a great life for themselves and never

69
00:02:55,360 --> 00:02:57,680
Speaker 3: really get out to see other parts of the world.

70
00:02:57,720 --> 00:02:59,080
Speaker 4: So I never quite understood that.

71
00:02:59,120 --> 00:03:02,359
Speaker 3: So guys would be like, you know, sometimes be like, okay.

72
00:03:02,520 --> 00:03:04,880
Speaker 4: What do they speak? You know, the language that they

73
00:03:04,919 --> 00:03:05,640
Speaker 4: speak and things that.

74
00:03:05,840 --> 00:03:07,720
Speaker 3: So the language was probably the best one when you

75
00:03:07,760 --> 00:03:10,400
Speaker 3: think English England, you know, so when you think it

76
00:03:10,400 --> 00:03:12,440
Speaker 3: from that perspective, but yeah, you hear some crazy things

77
00:03:12,440 --> 00:03:13,160
Speaker 3: in the locker room.

78
00:03:13,200 --> 00:03:17,120
Speaker 4: I'll tell you that six act. You about this Titan

79
00:03:17,200 --> 00:03:18,680
Speaker 4: offense one more time.

80
00:03:18,720 --> 00:03:22,959
Speaker 3: Sorry, This Titan offense physical team, you know, a physical team,

81
00:03:23,000 --> 00:03:25,880
Speaker 3: and that's something we pride ourselves on as well. Knowing

82
00:03:25,880 --> 00:03:27,959
Speaker 3: they have a really good back hearing he's been doing

83
00:03:28,280 --> 00:03:32,359
Speaker 3: a really long time, and uh good quarterback in Tannehill

84
00:03:32,440 --> 00:03:34,640
Speaker 3: as well as you know d hop Pen, you know,

85
00:03:34,720 --> 00:03:36,120
Speaker 3: one of the best in the game for a while.

86
00:03:36,200 --> 00:03:39,080
Speaker 3: So they definitely got some pieces over there, and it's

87
00:03:39,120 --> 00:03:41,320
Speaker 3: just gonna be about you know, doing our job, stopping

88
00:03:41,320 --> 00:03:43,960
Speaker 3: and run first and foremost and what they definitely lean

89
00:03:44,040 --> 00:03:47,200
Speaker 3: on all game long. And then you know, eliminating the

90
00:03:47,320 --> 00:03:49,560
Speaker 3: hop as well trying to because they're definitely going to

91
00:03:49,600 --> 00:03:51,200
Speaker 3: try to get him the ball. So it'll be a

92
00:03:51,200 --> 00:03:53,440
Speaker 3: great match for us, a great, great challenge. So looking

93
00:03:53,480 --> 00:03:53,920
Speaker 3: forward to it.

94
00:03:54,880 --> 00:03:55,920
Speaker 6: Do you feel like coming.

95
00:03:55,680 --> 00:03:58,600
Speaker 2: Off a game where I think everyone greasy, didn't you

96
00:03:58,760 --> 00:04:00,960
Speaker 2: as a team did collectively, did not play it as

97
00:04:01,000 --> 00:04:04,560
Speaker 2: best taking coming over here having a change of scenery,

98
00:04:04,640 --> 00:04:06,920
Speaker 2: does that whole kind of moving forward at all?

99
00:04:07,280 --> 00:04:07,440
Speaker 7: Oh?

100
00:04:07,520 --> 00:04:09,640
Speaker 3: Yeah, like you know, last week that was the last week.

101
00:04:09,680 --> 00:04:11,640
Speaker 3: Gonna leave it there, but yeah, definitely didn't play our

102
00:04:11,680 --> 00:04:14,320
Speaker 3: best in a sense. And yeah, and when you don't

103
00:04:14,320 --> 00:04:17,000
Speaker 3: play your best, parody e laitue like you can lose.

104
00:04:17,360 --> 00:04:19,400
Speaker 3: But I think being over here man is great. Just

105
00:04:19,440 --> 00:04:22,040
Speaker 3: also being here for like the fans in the UK, Man,

106
00:04:22,080 --> 00:04:23,960
Speaker 3: I think it's awesome being able to just you know,

107
00:04:24,040 --> 00:04:26,119
Speaker 3: put on in front of them and like actually see

108
00:04:26,400 --> 00:04:29,680
Speaker 3: you know, some good football and whatnot. So I'm excited

109
00:04:29,680 --> 00:04:31,440
Speaker 3: at being able to do that, as well as just

110
00:04:31,480 --> 00:04:33,599
Speaker 3: being away from home and like having a chance just

111
00:04:33,640 --> 00:04:37,200
Speaker 3: to bond with the teammates outside of the facility where

112
00:04:37,240 --> 00:04:39,400
Speaker 3: we're at the hotels spending hours together and when you

113
00:04:39,480 --> 00:04:41,880
Speaker 3: get the normal even on a deeper level, playing card

114
00:04:41,880 --> 00:04:44,560
Speaker 3: games and things of that nature. So I really enjoyed it,

115
00:04:44,560 --> 00:04:47,120
Speaker 3: and I love just being in different places where people

116
00:04:47,120 --> 00:04:49,200
Speaker 3: are some someone out of their comfort zone and it

117
00:04:49,240 --> 00:04:51,000
Speaker 3: makes you kind of grow as a person as well

118
00:04:51,040 --> 00:04:51,520
Speaker 3: as a team.

119
00:04:53,040 --> 00:04:55,039
Speaker 5: On there was you know, there's a lot of talk

120
00:04:55,120 --> 00:04:57,719
Speaker 5: lass for meat ak to the Jacksville is even about

121
00:04:57,720 --> 00:05:02,400
Speaker 5: the turf have taught other you guys obviously play on grass.

122
00:05:02,720 --> 00:05:06,160
Speaker 5: Curious if you prefer grass or turf or or if

123
00:05:06,160 --> 00:05:09,839
Speaker 5: you're different. And then secondly, as you maybe have to

124
00:05:09,839 --> 00:05:12,800
Speaker 5: make when you you know, you obviously go to turf fields.

125
00:05:12,920 --> 00:05:13,040
Speaker 7: Uh.

126
00:05:15,200 --> 00:05:17,400
Speaker 3: Yeah, No, That's definitely been a huge thing with the

127
00:05:17,440 --> 00:05:22,440
Speaker 3: grass and turf, and personally I'd rather play on actual grass,

128
00:05:22,480 --> 00:05:24,640
Speaker 3: but you know, hey, I'm not the one that making

129
00:05:24,680 --> 00:05:26,680
Speaker 3: the decision. But at the end of the day, they

130
00:05:26,680 --> 00:05:29,680
Speaker 3: can roll the ball out anywhere, concrete, basketball court or wherever.

131
00:05:29,839 --> 00:05:30,400
Speaker 4: I'll be there.

132
00:05:33,520 --> 00:05:36,440
Speaker 1: That was linebacker Brokwan Smith. Now we also had a

133
00:05:36,520 --> 00:05:39,960
Speaker 1: chance to talk with wide receiver Odell Beckham junior.

134
00:05:43,040 --> 00:05:46,080
Speaker 5: Are you are you of these London some players like

135
00:05:46,120 --> 00:05:46,920
Speaker 5: get some players done?

136
00:05:46,920 --> 00:05:48,799
Speaker 6: Where do you follow in these London trips?

137
00:05:50,200 --> 00:05:52,760
Speaker 7: I've been over here a few times, so I definitely

138
00:05:52,760 --> 00:05:56,640
Speaker 7: think London is a beautiful place. You know, don't really

139
00:05:56,680 --> 00:05:58,920
Speaker 7: see much sun, but I'm used to that over here,

140
00:05:59,360 --> 00:06:03,479
Speaker 7: and I think the trip is great. It's a great atmosphere.

141
00:06:03,480 --> 00:06:07,160
Speaker 7: It is definitely difficult to get adjusted the times and

142
00:06:07,200 --> 00:06:10,520
Speaker 7: all of that and find your rhythm, but I think

143
00:06:10,600 --> 00:06:12,520
Speaker 7: life set up that way to where you have to

144
00:06:12,560 --> 00:06:14,760
Speaker 7: learn how to adjust. And this is just one of

145
00:06:14,760 --> 00:06:18,000
Speaker 7: those situations, you know, and coming up coming off of

146
00:06:18,040 --> 00:06:19,680
Speaker 7: a tough loss, a team just has to find a

147
00:06:19,680 --> 00:06:21,599
Speaker 7: way to be resilient and keep driving, knowing it's a

148
00:06:21,600 --> 00:06:24,719
Speaker 7: long journey, long season, and this is just the situation

149
00:06:24,760 --> 00:06:27,360
Speaker 7: where we have now. But definitely playing in a game

150
00:06:27,400 --> 00:06:30,440
Speaker 7: in twenty sixteen, it was it was funny to be there.

151
00:06:30,480 --> 00:06:32,039
Speaker 7: You know, it was the Giants versus the Rams, and

152
00:06:32,040 --> 00:06:35,520
Speaker 7: I'm seeing Dolphins, jerseys, Jets, like everybody's wearing their team.

153
00:06:35,600 --> 00:06:37,720
Speaker 7: But the energy is still amazing and I know that

154
00:06:37,760 --> 00:06:40,800
Speaker 7: the fans over here are very excited about it. So

155
00:06:41,000 --> 00:06:45,359
Speaker 7: it is a definite blessing and a unique opportunity and

156
00:06:45,440 --> 00:06:46,600
Speaker 7: you know, just looking forward to it.

157
00:06:47,440 --> 00:06:50,520
Speaker 8: You know, you're a kind of international star.

158
00:06:51,240 --> 00:06:53,640
Speaker 6: It's just something that you hear that you kind.

159
00:06:53,560 --> 00:06:55,599
Speaker 8: Of relish when you play these international games, and this

160
00:06:55,640 --> 00:06:57,920
Speaker 8: is just a really game that you have a chance

161
00:06:58,000 --> 00:07:00,120
Speaker 8: to be one of those people that helps grew of

162
00:07:00,160 --> 00:07:01,680
Speaker 8: this game internationally.

163
00:07:02,160 --> 00:07:02,760
Speaker 4: Absolutely.

164
00:07:03,320 --> 00:07:06,839
Speaker 7: I remember when it was just kind of starting, I

165
00:07:06,839 --> 00:07:09,320
Speaker 7: think twenty sixteen, and you know before that, there was

166
00:07:09,360 --> 00:07:11,480
Speaker 7: like a long break between the games over in London,

167
00:07:11,920 --> 00:07:15,480
Speaker 7: and I remember going to Germany and there I had

168
00:07:15,560 --> 00:07:18,680
Speaker 7: like an event or something in the streets went absolutely crazy,

169
00:07:18,720 --> 00:07:21,640
Speaker 7: and just to feel that in my heart was a

170
00:07:21,680 --> 00:07:22,400
Speaker 7: crazy feeling.

171
00:07:22,440 --> 00:07:22,600
Speaker 4: You know.

172
00:07:22,640 --> 00:07:26,720
Speaker 7: I remember these kids followed me on bikes from miles peddling.

173
00:07:26,800 --> 00:07:27,280
Speaker 4: I'm sweating.

174
00:07:27,280 --> 00:07:29,880
Speaker 7: I tell the driver just pull over because like they've

175
00:07:29,880 --> 00:07:32,560
Speaker 7: already did a Lance Armstrong race all the way to

176
00:07:32,600 --> 00:07:34,920
Speaker 7: come to come meet. So I was like, just pull

177
00:07:34,960 --> 00:07:36,480
Speaker 7: over it and you know, you met them, and just

178
00:07:37,000 --> 00:07:38,760
Speaker 7: for this game to be able to grow and see it,

179
00:07:39,040 --> 00:07:43,960
Speaker 7: you know, be loved by people outside of America, it's

180
00:07:43,960 --> 00:07:45,760
Speaker 7: a true testament to you know, the game of football,

181
00:07:45,800 --> 00:07:49,440
Speaker 7: which is such a beautiful thing. So you know, anything

182
00:07:49,480 --> 00:07:51,440
Speaker 7: that I could do to help, you know, these kids

183
00:07:51,440 --> 00:07:53,320
Speaker 7: over here and you see them and you know they

184
00:07:53,440 --> 00:07:55,840
Speaker 7: want to field the football is like and throw with them.

185
00:07:56,720 --> 00:07:59,000
Speaker 7: It's a beautiful thing to see a game that could

186
00:07:59,040 --> 00:07:59,880
Speaker 7: touch so many people.

187
00:08:00,640 --> 00:08:04,560
Speaker 5: Okay, just kind of you get updated and the status

188
00:08:04,560 --> 00:08:07,640
Speaker 5: of your ankling sort of you know, bothered me a

189
00:08:07,680 --> 00:08:09,880
Speaker 5: little bit where.

190
00:08:09,640 --> 00:08:13,280
Speaker 4: You're at that. Yeah, it's been tough. You know, I've

191
00:08:13,720 --> 00:08:14,640
Speaker 4: excuse me my language.

192
00:08:14,720 --> 00:08:17,280
Speaker 7: I've you know, worked my ass off for a long

193
00:08:17,400 --> 00:08:20,240
Speaker 7: time since that Super Bowl and.

194
00:08:22,040 --> 00:08:24,200
Speaker 4: Just to have like a small small.

195
00:08:24,720 --> 00:08:29,160
Speaker 7: Setback which you you never saw coming and it's just unfortunate,

196
00:08:29,360 --> 00:08:32,480
Speaker 7: you know. And and now kind of just getting readjusted

197
00:08:32,520 --> 00:08:36,040
Speaker 7: and you know it it's behind you now, but you know,

198
00:08:36,120 --> 00:08:39,520
Speaker 7: maybe sitting there and in hindsight thinking could have waited

199
00:08:39,520 --> 00:08:41,480
Speaker 7: one more week, and you know, to just get your

200
00:08:41,480 --> 00:08:43,320
Speaker 7: feet back underneath you. It's a blessing to be able

201
00:08:43,320 --> 00:08:46,720
Speaker 7: to be out on the field, but it never feels

202
00:08:46,720 --> 00:08:50,760
Speaker 7: good when you're when you're not at your very very best. So, uh,

203
00:08:50,800 --> 00:08:52,520
Speaker 7: I feel much better this week, even though there was

204
00:08:52,600 --> 00:08:55,280
Speaker 7: a lot of traveling. It's hard stay up on hydration,

205
00:08:55,400 --> 00:08:57,600
Speaker 7: stay up on a regular schedule, stay There's so many

206
00:08:58,160 --> 00:09:01,080
Speaker 7: things that you have to adapt to. But you know,

207
00:09:01,240 --> 00:09:06,240
Speaker 7: there's no time for excuses or putting blame here there.

208
00:09:06,280 --> 00:09:07,720
Speaker 7: You know, I'm a man. I take my wings with

209
00:09:07,720 --> 00:09:11,000
Speaker 7: my losses, and I just gotta come out and just

210
00:09:11,040 --> 00:09:13,040
Speaker 7: be better, you know, playing and simple and do whatever

211
00:09:13,040 --> 00:09:15,600
Speaker 7: I can to help this team win, starting from my

212
00:09:15,720 --> 00:09:18,640
Speaker 7: energy day to day to day. A lot of things

213
00:09:18,640 --> 00:09:21,719
Speaker 7: that I feel like I could just do better, and

214
00:09:21,960 --> 00:09:24,000
Speaker 7: I just got to accept that challenge, embrace it and

215
00:09:25,440 --> 00:09:28,280
Speaker 7: be exactly who I know I am and just follow up.

216
00:09:28,280 --> 00:09:31,560
Speaker 5: There was a lot made about the turf, your official

217
00:09:31,600 --> 00:09:35,040
Speaker 5: turf last week. Where are the adjustments you have to be?

218
00:09:35,320 --> 00:09:40,200
Speaker 7: You know, it's something that I'm sure people have seen

219
00:09:40,240 --> 00:09:42,200
Speaker 7: me talk about on Twitter and this and that, and

220
00:09:42,200 --> 00:09:43,800
Speaker 7: then you know, it sounds like I'm the one being

221
00:09:43,800 --> 00:09:46,840
Speaker 7: a baby and complaining. Yet you see a lot of

222
00:09:46,840 --> 00:09:49,280
Speaker 7: major injuries happen on turf. I mean, it's not even

223
00:09:50,440 --> 00:09:52,079
Speaker 7: I don't know. I'll leave the dilemma up for the

224
00:09:52,120 --> 00:09:54,800
Speaker 7: Twitter Warriors and all that, but it's just I mean,

225
00:09:54,880 --> 00:09:55,880
Speaker 7: just look at the results.

226
00:09:55,960 --> 00:09:58,439
Speaker 4: Look at how many major injuries.

227
00:09:58,040 --> 00:10:01,160
Speaker 7: Have happened on it, and you know, God God willing

228
00:10:01,240 --> 00:10:04,120
Speaker 7: like there's none this game. But it's just not a

229
00:10:04,160 --> 00:10:09,240
Speaker 7: surface that's you know, I think great for players to

230
00:10:09,240 --> 00:10:13,120
Speaker 7: play on. I think we have I think they make

231
00:10:13,240 --> 00:10:16,439
Speaker 7: enough money to where you know, putting grass in stadiums

232
00:10:16,480 --> 00:10:18,360
Speaker 7: is really not that big of a thing.

233
00:10:18,400 --> 00:10:19,760
Speaker 4: I think it's not hard to keep up with.

234
00:10:21,000 --> 00:10:23,920
Speaker 7: And I just feel like if we're talking about the

235
00:10:23,960 --> 00:10:27,640
Speaker 7: safety of players, I think grass would be a better

236
00:10:27,679 --> 00:10:31,080
Speaker 7: surface area for them. But again, like I say, life

237
00:10:31,120 --> 00:10:33,760
Speaker 7: throws the curve balls. You just got to adjust, and

238
00:10:33,840 --> 00:10:37,200
Speaker 7: turf is what we're playing on this weekend. It is

239
00:10:37,200 --> 00:10:39,640
Speaker 7: what it is. It's not really up to us. But

240
00:10:40,240 --> 00:10:42,840
Speaker 7: I just think that I think that there's a solution

241
00:10:44,080 --> 00:10:47,360
Speaker 7: whatever it is. I hope that one day they they

242
00:10:48,040 --> 00:10:49,440
Speaker 7: figured that out.

243
00:10:49,840 --> 00:10:52,000
Speaker 2: I know, you have a certain expectations just as far

244
00:10:52,040 --> 00:10:55,240
Speaker 2: as production that you expect out of yourself, just on

245
00:10:55,400 --> 00:10:56,600
Speaker 2: a production level.

246
00:10:56,920 --> 00:10:59,960
Speaker 6: How tough has it been for these first five games?

247
00:11:00,080 --> 00:11:02,079
Speaker 4: Literally it's been tough.

248
00:11:02,760 --> 00:11:05,360
Speaker 7: Uh, you know, just just finding a way to feel

249
00:11:05,360 --> 00:11:09,079
Speaker 7: like you can help the team. And again that's why

250
00:11:09,080 --> 00:11:12,679
Speaker 7: I say, personally, I think that it starts within yourself.

251
00:11:12,760 --> 00:11:18,960
Speaker 7: Your energy and the way that you internalize, process and

252
00:11:19,640 --> 00:11:21,679
Speaker 7: analyze the situation and what you can bring to it

253
00:11:21,800 --> 00:11:24,520
Speaker 7: daily I think will affect the outcome. And that's where

254
00:11:25,160 --> 00:11:27,080
Speaker 7: you know, I was doing such a great job early

255
00:11:27,120 --> 00:11:29,360
Speaker 7: on and you know, hadn't been thrown many tests like

256
00:11:29,440 --> 00:11:31,160
Speaker 7: leading up the training camp and all this, and then

257
00:11:31,559 --> 00:11:35,120
Speaker 7: things happen and I feel like I said, my fail.

258
00:11:35,000 --> 00:11:35,920
Speaker 4: The test God gave me.

259
00:11:36,480 --> 00:11:39,000
Speaker 7: And realizing that is a lot of it's a step

260
00:11:39,000 --> 00:11:41,079
Speaker 7: of growth and just to be able to go past

261
00:11:41,120 --> 00:11:45,880
Speaker 7: that and to now embrace this new challenge and find

262
00:11:45,880 --> 00:11:52,600
Speaker 7: a way to be productive with whatever opportunities that I

263
00:11:52,640 --> 00:11:56,720
Speaker 7: do have. That's just the bottom line. You know, make

264
00:11:56,720 --> 00:11:58,319
Speaker 7: the most of whatever you get.

265
00:11:58,600 --> 00:12:01,599
Speaker 9: Odell, your last great game was the Super Bowl for

266
00:12:01,760 --> 00:12:05,040
Speaker 9: the injury, and obviously that's the biggest stage. But the

267
00:12:05,080 --> 00:12:07,240
Speaker 9: international stage is you watch all the meeting that's out

268
00:12:07,240 --> 00:12:10,240
Speaker 9: of here practice, the international stage is growing. Could this

269
00:12:10,320 --> 00:12:12,560
Speaker 9: be a game for you that helps you to feel like, yes,

270
00:12:12,640 --> 00:12:13,560
Speaker 9: you are back up track.

271
00:12:14,280 --> 00:12:18,520
Speaker 7: Absolutely, And if it wasn't in London, just having a

272
00:12:18,520 --> 00:12:20,400
Speaker 7: great game, you always feel like you'll be back on track.

273
00:12:20,440 --> 00:12:25,200
Speaker 7: But I'll never forget. You know, these words that coach

274
00:12:25,280 --> 00:12:27,600
Speaker 7: McVeigh had said to me. He was just talking about

275
00:12:27,640 --> 00:12:31,679
Speaker 7: why he doesn't think that I performed well and Cleveland

276
00:12:31,760 --> 00:12:34,200
Speaker 7: or here or there. He was just saying that something

277
00:12:34,240 --> 00:12:39,040
Speaker 7: about pressure and something about the biggest stage, it drives.

278
00:12:38,640 --> 00:12:41,679
Speaker 4: Me even more. And it's not like an attention thing.

279
00:12:41,720 --> 00:12:46,040
Speaker 7: It's like I just it's like I enjoy the pressure

280
00:12:46,120 --> 00:12:48,280
Speaker 7: more than when it just feels like a mundane even

281
00:12:48,280 --> 00:12:50,120
Speaker 7: though such a blessing to be playing at whatever time.

282
00:12:50,160 --> 00:12:53,840
Speaker 7: But he thinks that the bigger the stage, the more

283
00:12:53,880 --> 00:12:57,720
Speaker 7: you want to shine. And I can understand that. And

284
00:12:57,920 --> 00:13:00,280
Speaker 7: I've just been, you know, sitting in my room while

285
00:13:00,280 --> 00:13:02,640
Speaker 7: I'm trying to sleep, you know, time zone is definitely

286
00:13:02,960 --> 00:13:04,480
Speaker 7: a bit of a thing, just laying in my bed

287
00:13:04,480 --> 00:13:07,280
Speaker 7: and I've just been thinking about it. And how how

288
00:13:07,320 --> 00:13:09,320
Speaker 7: can I get back on track? How can I be

289
00:13:10,120 --> 00:13:12,080
Speaker 7: the person that I know that I'm capable of being.

290
00:13:13,440 --> 00:13:16,560
Speaker 7: And I would absolutely love for that to start this Sunday,

291
00:13:17,760 --> 00:13:20,640
Speaker 7: you know, knowing that again, it's a long journey, long season,

292
00:13:20,679 --> 00:13:24,480
Speaker 7: and there's so many opportunities for us to take advantage of.

293
00:13:24,520 --> 00:13:28,240
Speaker 7: So I'm looking forward to it and praying that you know,

294
00:13:28,840 --> 00:13:30,560
Speaker 7: this is exactly what I would hope it would.

295
00:13:30,320 --> 00:13:32,080
Speaker 8: Be like one of those lines like, how would you

296
00:13:32,080 --> 00:13:35,479
Speaker 8: describe your optimism? You know, I'm sure you're very optimistic

297
00:13:35,480 --> 00:13:38,000
Speaker 8: about the ass in history for the season.

298
00:13:38,040 --> 00:13:39,120
Speaker 6: How would you kind of describe the.

299
00:13:39,040 --> 00:13:42,640
Speaker 8: Optimism that you have about that abilities break out again?

300
00:13:42,720 --> 00:13:43,000
Speaker 3: For sure?

301
00:13:43,720 --> 00:13:43,840
Speaker 8: Uh?

302
00:13:44,640 --> 00:13:47,120
Speaker 7: Again, I think that's where you know, like I say,

303
00:13:47,200 --> 00:13:48,760
Speaker 7: I feel like I failed the test. I feel like

304
00:13:48,760 --> 00:13:52,360
Speaker 7: I had all these great positive talks and then you know,

305
00:13:52,400 --> 00:13:56,720
Speaker 7: when something hits, it's hard to like stay along those lines.

306
00:13:56,720 --> 00:13:58,120
Speaker 7: You can get bumped off course and now you just

307
00:13:58,160 --> 00:14:00,720
Speaker 7: got to get back on track. But it's a long season.

308
00:14:01,120 --> 00:14:04,600
Speaker 7: I think was it the nineteen seventy three Dolphins were

309
00:14:04,600 --> 00:14:07,160
Speaker 7: the only team to ever have a perfect season and

310
00:14:07,200 --> 00:14:10,800
Speaker 7: win a Super Bowl. Other than that, you know, there's

311
00:14:10,840 --> 00:14:14,480
Speaker 7: been fifty something super Bowls or more. However, many more,

312
00:14:16,240 --> 00:14:18,079
Speaker 7: and it's a long season. It's about catching fire when

313
00:14:18,080 --> 00:14:20,280
Speaker 7: you're supposed to. It's about everything coming together at the

314
00:14:20,320 --> 00:14:24,240
Speaker 7: right time. So you do have to be optimistic about

315
00:14:24,400 --> 00:14:27,120
Speaker 7: the season. And that's where I'm trying to stay in

316
00:14:27,120 --> 00:14:31,280
Speaker 7: that mindset of you know, there's a lot of opportunities.

317
00:14:31,320 --> 00:14:32,920
Speaker 7: You know, no team won a Super Bowl in week

318
00:14:32,960 --> 00:14:36,440
Speaker 7: five or six, But it is about finding your way

319
00:14:36,560 --> 00:14:38,600
Speaker 7: to that perfect balance as a team and finding your

320
00:14:38,640 --> 00:14:40,760
Speaker 7: identity and what is going to work for you for

321
00:14:40,800 --> 00:14:41,200
Speaker 7: the season.

322
00:14:41,240 --> 00:14:43,160
Speaker 4: So I'm very optimistic about it.

323
00:14:43,720 --> 00:14:47,560
Speaker 7: I'm going to keep continuing to preach positivity over myself,

324
00:14:47,600 --> 00:14:51,720
Speaker 7: over my teammates, you know, and be accountable for my

325
00:14:51,880 --> 00:14:54,960
Speaker 7: energy and let that you know, run through the zen.

326
00:14:56,120 --> 00:14:58,080
Speaker 6: As one of the veteran leaders of this team. However,

327
00:14:58,160 --> 00:15:02,040
Speaker 6: you see eyes and locker and all that respond to

328
00:15:02,440 --> 00:15:04,480
Speaker 6: you know, a tough loss followed by you know, a

329
00:15:04,520 --> 00:15:06,680
Speaker 6: long trip and kind of tough circumstances.

330
00:15:07,480 --> 00:15:09,080
Speaker 4: I think it was one of those games.

331
00:15:10,760 --> 00:15:14,240
Speaker 7: You know, of course, everybody was pissed, like nobody wanted

332
00:15:14,280 --> 00:15:18,480
Speaker 7: to lose that game, But just to know that there's

333
00:15:18,480 --> 00:15:20,560
Speaker 7: so much going on with a short it feels like

334
00:15:20,560 --> 00:15:23,560
Speaker 7: a short week of travel. Uh, this and that, like

335
00:15:23,600 --> 00:15:24,960
Speaker 7: you just it's one of those ones you got to

336
00:15:24,960 --> 00:15:26,640
Speaker 7: put behind you. And if you would have won and

337
00:15:26,680 --> 00:15:28,240
Speaker 7: it would have been ugly, it still would have been

338
00:15:28,280 --> 00:15:30,760
Speaker 7: like we you know, so worried about the next game.

339
00:15:31,880 --> 00:15:34,200
Speaker 7: Just got to continue to press forward. So I think

340
00:15:34,200 --> 00:15:38,480
Speaker 7: the energy has been good knowing you know, you got

341
00:15:38,520 --> 00:15:39,840
Speaker 7: to take the good with the bad, and that was

342
00:15:39,920 --> 00:15:42,320
Speaker 7: just you know, part of the bad. So continue to

343
00:15:42,360 --> 00:15:44,400
Speaker 7: truck forward, uh and keep it moving.

344
00:15:44,760 --> 00:15:48,560
Speaker 6: But sorry, how's yours?

345
00:15:49,040 --> 00:15:52,160
Speaker 4: You took out? You took taking the mix?

346
00:15:54,080 --> 00:15:56,600
Speaker 6: How's was a little cocascination?

347
00:15:56,840 --> 00:15:57,040
Speaker 3: Oh?

348
00:15:57,200 --> 00:15:59,080
Speaker 4: Man, I can't do it right now. I'm a little tired,

349
00:15:59,120 --> 00:16:05,240
Speaker 4: but I definitely fish and chips.

350
00:16:06,520 --> 00:16:08,680
Speaker 7: Maybe outside of here, I'll give you a little bit

351
00:16:08,720 --> 00:16:09,520
Speaker 7: of a British accent.

352
00:16:10,480 --> 00:16:10,800
Speaker 4: Adell.

353
00:16:10,840 --> 00:16:12,840
Speaker 6: You said you feel like you failed the test, but.

354
00:16:16,440 --> 00:16:18,240
Speaker 7: I guess you could said I didn't fail because I

355
00:16:18,360 --> 00:16:20,680
Speaker 7: realized that there was a potential that I did feel it.

356
00:16:20,760 --> 00:16:22,800
Speaker 7: So that's you know, a little bit of winning itself.

357
00:16:22,840 --> 00:16:25,040
Speaker 7: But just to me, like I was saying, I was

358
00:16:25,200 --> 00:16:29,480
Speaker 7: in such a positive mindset and it was because you know,

359
00:16:29,560 --> 00:16:31,720
Speaker 7: nothing had really went wrong and there was no setback,

360
00:16:31,760 --> 00:16:34,920
Speaker 7: so there was no you know, feel like poor performance

361
00:16:35,000 --> 00:16:37,120
Speaker 7: or anything going leading up in the camp, and then

362
00:16:37,200 --> 00:16:39,240
Speaker 7: you know, just some little things start to happen and

363
00:16:39,960 --> 00:16:41,800
Speaker 7: you get into a mindset where I don't feel like

364
00:16:41,840 --> 00:16:44,800
Speaker 7: I was as positive about looking at things that may

365
00:16:44,840 --> 00:16:47,440
Speaker 7: not have been positive and looking at them as negative.

366
00:16:47,480 --> 00:16:50,160
Speaker 7: So that's where I feel in my heart, I failed

367
00:16:50,160 --> 00:16:53,680
Speaker 7: the test of just being able to take the good

368
00:16:53,680 --> 00:16:55,760
Speaker 7: with the bad and to me to be able to

369
00:16:55,760 --> 00:16:57,520
Speaker 7: look at it now, be able to smile at it

370
00:16:57,560 --> 00:16:59,240
Speaker 7: and be like, Okay, well, now I know for the

371
00:16:59,280 --> 00:17:02,200
Speaker 7: next time that it lets pop up, how I can

372
00:17:02,200 --> 00:17:04,879
Speaker 7: go about things, how I can control my own energy,

373
00:17:04,920 --> 00:17:08,320
Speaker 7: how I can protect my piece. That's where I feel

374
00:17:08,320 --> 00:17:10,840
Speaker 7: like I said, I failed to test, you know, not

375
00:17:11,000 --> 00:17:13,120
Speaker 7: like I got completely off track and you know, went

376
00:17:13,160 --> 00:17:15,080
Speaker 7: down the wrong way, but just like a little bumped

377
00:17:15,080 --> 00:17:17,399
Speaker 7: off track and just you know, sometimes you need that

378
00:17:17,440 --> 00:17:20,120
Speaker 7: reminder in life of which way to go in which

379
00:17:20,160 --> 00:17:21,960
Speaker 7: direction that God's trying to lead you.

380
00:17:25,400 --> 00:17:28,040
Speaker 1: That was wide receiver Odell Beckham Junior. Now, this week

381
00:17:28,119 --> 00:17:31,159
Speaker 1: is also really big for outside linebacker David Ajabo. He

382
00:17:31,240 --> 00:17:34,280
Speaker 1: grew up in Scotland, so not too far away from here,

383
00:17:34,640 --> 00:17:37,719
Speaker 1: and this week is a bit of a homecoming for him. Now,

384
00:17:37,760 --> 00:17:40,560
Speaker 1: of course it's not the homecoming he envisioned, considering that

385
00:17:40,600 --> 00:17:43,440
Speaker 1: he is currently on injured reserve, but still this is

386
00:17:43,480 --> 00:17:45,240
Speaker 1: a big moment for him and he talked about that

387
00:17:45,560 --> 00:17:46,520
Speaker 1: with the media today.

388
00:17:49,119 --> 00:17:53,760
Speaker 10: Hey guys, you know, blessed me back home, blessing to
