1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:02,880
Speaker 1: Talented running back groups. It's one of the more talented

2
00:00:02,920 --> 00:00:06,119
Speaker 1: ones you've seen. I mean with you and James, Jeremy

3
00:00:06,960 --> 00:00:10,160
Speaker 1: Michelle has had a terrific college careers. A toid of

4
00:00:10,240 --> 00:00:12,239
Speaker 1: excite you to be part of such a really good

5
00:00:12,320 --> 00:00:14,680
Speaker 1: running back group. Oh yeah, it's fun. Um, you know,

6
00:00:14,760 --> 00:00:16,600
Speaker 1: we got a bunch of great guys. And then I'm

7
00:00:16,680 --> 00:00:18,640
Speaker 1: not down the field, off the field as well, fun

8
00:00:18,680 --> 00:00:20,759
Speaker 1: group to be a part of. And uh, you know,

9
00:00:20,800 --> 00:00:23,319
Speaker 1: we love competing with one another every single day, where

10
00:00:23,320 --> 00:00:25,400
Speaker 1: that's in the meeting room, in the way room, or

11
00:00:25,440 --> 00:00:28,680
Speaker 1: out of practice. So um, it makes it fun and

12
00:00:29,440 --> 00:00:31,520
Speaker 1: you know, something to look forward to every day. It

13
00:00:31,600 --> 00:00:33,479
Speaker 1: seems too this is a group that likes catching it

14
00:00:33,560 --> 00:00:35,760
Speaker 1: out of the backfield too. You're not just running backs,

15
00:00:35,800 --> 00:00:38,880
Speaker 1: but you're also sort of thinking quaside receivers for back

16
00:00:38,880 --> 00:00:41,280
Speaker 1: of the black of better terms. Yeah, um, you know,

17
00:00:41,320 --> 00:00:42,760
Speaker 1: I think in the system you gotta be able to

18
00:00:42,760 --> 00:00:45,479
Speaker 1: do multiple things for sure as a running back, you know,

19
00:00:45,560 --> 00:00:48,280
Speaker 1: not only just run the ball, but in the passing game,

20
00:00:48,360 --> 00:00:50,880
Speaker 1: pass pro or you know, even on special teams too.

21
00:00:50,960 --> 00:00:53,600
Speaker 1: So um, any time you can do multiple things, it'll

22
00:00:53,640 --> 00:00:55,760
Speaker 1: help you out. Rex. What do you think of Tom

23
00:00:55,800 --> 00:00:59,040
Speaker 1: Brady still playing at this level at the forty one. Um,

24
00:00:59,080 --> 00:01:02,040
Speaker 1: you know, it's unbelievable. Um, you know, he's excelling still.

25
00:01:02,080 --> 00:01:05,280
Speaker 1: You know his MVP last year, so, UM, you know,

26
00:01:05,600 --> 00:01:08,040
Speaker 1: it's just truly testament to the hard work in preparation

27
00:01:08,120 --> 00:01:10,480
Speaker 1: he puts in. Um every single day. You know, I've

28
00:01:10,560 --> 00:01:13,360
Speaker 1: learned a lot from him taking it in on. You know,

29
00:01:13,360 --> 00:01:15,600
Speaker 1: how he takes care of his body, how he mainly

30
00:01:15,640 --> 00:01:18,440
Speaker 1: prepares for games and practices, and you know, I'm taking

31
00:01:18,440 --> 00:01:19,760
Speaker 1: a lot from him and put it in my game

32
00:01:21,640 --> 00:01:24,160
Speaker 1: and our immediate business like recording on the games and

33
00:01:25,080 --> 00:01:33,600
Speaker 1: reparation football. And the biggest question what about for one,

34
00:01:36,720 --> 00:01:41,720
Speaker 1: I got no comment on it. Did you ever play

35
00:01:41,760 --> 00:01:45,000
Speaker 1: a perceptive year? Last year? He's gone? So there's rooms

36
00:01:45,000 --> 00:01:47,120
Speaker 1: for someone like yourself. The step off is this is

37
00:01:47,120 --> 00:01:49,880
Speaker 1: a big opportunity, Uh, you know, just trying to make

38
00:01:49,920 --> 00:01:52,160
Speaker 1: the most of it. Whatever the coaches want me to do,

39
00:01:52,240 --> 00:01:55,120
Speaker 1: I'm more than happy to do that. And um, you know,

40
00:01:55,160 --> 00:01:57,920
Speaker 1: whatever role that may be, Um, you know, whether that's

41
00:01:57,920 --> 00:02:00,400
Speaker 1: a ton of carries, touches or not not that many,

42
00:02:00,480 --> 00:02:02,280
Speaker 1: but doing some other things to help the team out

43
00:02:02,320 --> 00:02:04,720
Speaker 1: for a win. M I'm happy to do that, And

44
00:02:04,880 --> 00:02:06,880
Speaker 1: I think that's what's great about being here if you

45
00:02:06,920 --> 00:02:11,200
Speaker 1: have some blocking responsibilities to the Sunday with that pass rush,

46
00:02:11,200 --> 00:02:13,239
Speaker 1: I think everyone does. You know, they got a great

47
00:02:13,320 --> 00:02:16,440
Speaker 1: front for sure, that's no secret. UM. So we're going

48
00:02:16,560 --> 00:02:19,280
Speaker 1: to be ready, um for anything they bring to us.

49
00:02:19,680 --> 00:02:21,959
Speaker 1: Regular from James White in your time here, and he's

50
00:02:22,000 --> 00:02:23,400
Speaker 1: kind of one of the more vocal guys in the

51
00:02:23,440 --> 00:02:26,000
Speaker 1: field room knows it more, but you by example of UM,

52
00:02:26,320 --> 00:02:28,760
Speaker 1: he's a you know, a very lead by example guy. UM.

53
00:02:28,960 --> 00:02:30,359
Speaker 1: You know, he has to be vocal when he needs

54
00:02:30,400 --> 00:02:33,440
Speaker 1: to be. UM. But I think that's what's best about

55
00:02:33,440 --> 00:02:35,640
Speaker 1: his leadership as he does what he's supposed to do

56
00:02:35,639 --> 00:02:38,000
Speaker 1: out there on the field, UM, in the meeting rooms

57
00:02:38,040 --> 00:02:40,240
Speaker 1: and off the field as well. So UM, you know

58
00:02:40,240 --> 00:02:42,000
Speaker 1: I've learned it's something from him. He really helped me

59
00:02:42,040 --> 00:02:44,919
Speaker 1: out when I first got here picking up the system. UM,

60
00:02:45,120 --> 00:02:47,079
Speaker 1: you know, especially in the passing game, just because I've

61
00:02:47,080 --> 00:02:49,680
Speaker 1: been you know, in a system that running backs are

62
00:02:49,800 --> 00:02:52,440
Speaker 1: used that much with. So definitely have learned a lot

63
00:02:52,480 --> 00:02:55,079
Speaker 1: from him. And I mean he's a great guy, great guy,

64
00:02:55,240 --> 00:02:57,320
Speaker 1: great back, and UM, you know it's fun to be

65
00:02:57,440 --> 00:03:00,280
Speaker 1: his teammate. Rex After all the injuries in the asco

66
00:03:00,320 --> 00:03:02,720
Speaker 1: manage to the wide receivers group in the summer, Is

67
00:03:02,720 --> 00:03:05,000
Speaker 1: there any talk in the running back room about picking

68
00:03:05,080 --> 00:03:08,120
Speaker 1: up some of the offensive pass catching ability in terms

69
00:03:08,120 --> 00:03:10,000
Speaker 1: of you know, you guys might get a step up

70
00:03:10,040 --> 00:03:13,120
Speaker 1: in terms of balls coming away from time. Um. You know,

71
00:03:13,160 --> 00:03:15,160
Speaker 1: we're just trying to do whatever role we we can

72
00:03:15,440 --> 00:03:17,480
Speaker 1: and what are the coaches ask of us to do.

73
00:03:18,200 --> 00:03:21,280
Speaker 1: I don't think putting more pressure on any position group

74
00:03:21,440 --> 00:03:25,160
Speaker 1: is you know necessary. Um, it's really just understanding what

75
00:03:25,200 --> 00:03:27,760
Speaker 1: we need to do and if the coaches want us

76
00:03:27,800 --> 00:03:29,760
Speaker 1: to do one thing that you know, may fill a

77
00:03:29,800 --> 00:03:31,880
Speaker 1: certain role, then we gotta be ready to do that.

78
00:03:32,520 --> 00:03:34,240
Speaker 1: Go back to the adjustment you just mentioned it from

79
00:03:34,280 --> 00:03:37,080
Speaker 1: your old system, this one in terms of passing game standpoint,

80
00:03:37,280 --> 00:03:39,040
Speaker 1: how comfortable would you over the course of the year.

81
00:03:39,080 --> 00:03:41,640
Speaker 1: Do you feel more comfortable this year now, you know,

82
00:03:41,680 --> 00:03:45,320
Speaker 1: having that greater role as a receiver. Yeah, definitely, Um,

83
00:03:45,440 --> 00:03:47,560
Speaker 1: you know, saying earlier, just being you know, through a

84
00:03:47,680 --> 00:03:51,920
Speaker 1: year in a system, getting familiarity with other players and

85
00:03:51,960 --> 00:03:54,840
Speaker 1: your teammates and the coaches definitely helps a lot. I

86
00:03:54,880 --> 00:03:57,240
Speaker 1: mean you see certain things and you react that much

87
00:03:57,240 --> 00:04:01,440
Speaker 1: faster after seeing it so many times times. What kind

88
00:04:01,440 --> 00:04:03,440
Speaker 1: of stress do you put on a defense, would you, James,

89
00:04:06,880 --> 00:04:09,440
Speaker 1: I don't know. Um, you know, I guess just a

90
00:04:09,480 --> 00:04:14,240
Speaker 1: different change of different look for imposing defense. But um,

91
00:04:14,280 --> 00:04:17,919
Speaker 1: you know that's really all about matchups. So um, yeah,

92
00:04:18,680 --> 00:04:22,520
Speaker 1: it's been like working with Jeremy again. Oh it's fun. Um,

93
00:04:22,600 --> 00:04:25,080
Speaker 1: you know, play with him in Cincinnati for a few years,

94
00:04:25,080 --> 00:04:26,719
Speaker 1: so to have him here, you know, it's definitely a

95
00:04:26,760 --> 00:04:29,080
Speaker 1: thrill and um, you know, trying to help him, bring

96
00:04:29,160 --> 00:04:31,840
Speaker 1: him along in the system. Um, you know has been

97
00:04:32,080 --> 00:04:34,120
Speaker 1: good for myself as well. Um because seeing some time

98
00:04:34,120 --> 00:04:37,240
Speaker 1: you're kind of teaching to someone else, it helps you

99
00:04:37,279 --> 00:04:39,640
Speaker 1: out as well. So, um, you know, he's a great guy,

100
00:04:39,720 --> 00:04:42,279
Speaker 1: great back, and uh it's good to have him. You

101
00:04:42,279 --> 00:04:44,480
Speaker 1: probably can't go into too many specific song but how

102
00:04:44,520 --> 00:04:47,520
Speaker 1: different is the system as far as insanity New England?

103
00:04:47,600 --> 00:04:49,880
Speaker 1: What kind of adjustments are there? Yeah, you know, I

104
00:04:49,880 --> 00:04:51,479
Speaker 1: can't go into too much, but I mean there are

105
00:04:51,640 --> 00:04:53,560
Speaker 1: some differences and I think that's the case if you

106
00:04:53,600 --> 00:04:56,680
Speaker 1: go anywhere. Um, so just picking up on the terminology

107
00:04:56,839 --> 00:05:00,200
Speaker 1: and um, you know system and how you're used or not,

108
00:05:00,440 --> 00:05:03,640
Speaker 1: and you know, just overall day to day operations. So Um,

109
00:05:03,880 --> 00:05:06,920
Speaker 1: there's always changes and Buddy's picked up on it very quickly.
