1
00:00:00,360 --> 00:00:02,680
Speaker 1: Let's say you want to know what you have an

2
00:00:02,720 --> 00:00:06,880
Speaker 1: idea that this offense this year could be pretty good. Um, yeah,

3
00:00:06,960 --> 00:00:08,840
Speaker 1: I think we show signs of it last year. Um

4
00:00:09,080 --> 00:00:11,920
Speaker 1: we play at a high level. Uh, definitely the second

5
00:00:11,960 --> 00:00:14,240
Speaker 1: half of the season. Um, comparable to the first half.

6
00:00:14,280 --> 00:00:17,200
Speaker 1: But uh, you know now it's it's not everyone's new

7
00:00:17,239 --> 00:00:19,639
Speaker 1: to it. Obviously, sides of rookies who are doing a

8
00:00:19,680 --> 00:00:22,479
Speaker 1: great job. But for myself and for Eli and for

9
00:00:22,560 --> 00:00:25,320
Speaker 1: chef Nev and all those guys, Uh, no one's really

10
00:00:25,320 --> 00:00:28,120
Speaker 1: new to it. Um. You know, Uh, we get we

11
00:00:28,200 --> 00:00:29,680
Speaker 1: had a whole year of it last year and now

12
00:00:29,720 --> 00:00:31,520
Speaker 1: you get a jump star on it. So for me,

13
00:00:31,760 --> 00:00:33,720
Speaker 1: I feel like I'm seeing to feel a little bit better.

14
00:00:34,080 --> 00:00:36,520
Speaker 1: I understand the offense a lot better. And like you said,

15
00:00:36,560 --> 00:00:38,559
Speaker 1: I think we have a lot of talent, and we

16
00:00:38,560 --> 00:00:41,400
Speaker 1: show flashes of it last year, especially the second half season,

17
00:00:41,440 --> 00:00:44,080
Speaker 1: and uh, like you said, very early. But I think

18
00:00:44,080 --> 00:00:47,840
Speaker 1: when the opportunity comes, we're gonna be ready. You could

19
00:00:47,880 --> 00:00:50,040
Speaker 1: be better though without a then right, maybe obviously he's

20
00:00:50,040 --> 00:00:53,320
Speaker 1: a great player, But isn't just that familiarity in the

21
00:00:53,360 --> 00:00:55,560
Speaker 1: offense that you think that can lead to that Biggert

22
00:00:55,640 --> 00:00:57,680
Speaker 1: jump that you guys been better even though yeah, I

23
00:00:57,720 --> 00:00:59,840
Speaker 1: would say definitely, I would definitely agree with that statement

24
00:00:59,880 --> 00:01:03,160
Speaker 1: just to just being familiar with the offense, UM, having

25
00:01:03,200 --> 00:01:06,440
Speaker 1: another having a whole another year attached to it. And UM,

26
00:01:06,480 --> 00:01:08,600
Speaker 1: you know, obviously, like you said, how can we be

27
00:01:08,600 --> 00:01:10,600
Speaker 1: better with Odell? Uh, at the end of days a

28
00:01:10,600 --> 00:01:12,520
Speaker 1: team game. UM, at the end of day, it's gonna

29
00:01:12,560 --> 00:01:15,280
Speaker 1: take eleven man of offense to two out there win games.

30
00:01:15,280 --> 00:01:17,360
Speaker 1: And Uh, there's gonna be days where I'm when I'm

31
00:01:17,360 --> 00:01:19,720
Speaker 1: the guy who's having the day or Ship's gonna have

32
00:01:19,760 --> 00:01:22,039
Speaker 1: that day and Tait and they're gonna have that day. Um.

33
00:01:22,080 --> 00:01:23,560
Speaker 1: And we just gotta find a way to get better

34
00:01:23,560 --> 00:01:26,160
Speaker 1: every single day and grow each other and improve each

35
00:01:26,200 --> 00:01:28,280
Speaker 1: other every single day. And UM, when the betune comes

36
00:01:28,560 --> 00:01:30,800
Speaker 1: capitalize on them. How much is adding a guy like

37
00:01:31,240 --> 00:01:34,200
Speaker 1: Zeitler guard and bringing remors of tackle to kind of

38
00:01:34,200 --> 00:01:36,440
Speaker 1: solidify that offensive line. How much does that help you

39
00:01:37,160 --> 00:01:40,440
Speaker 1: as a runner? Um? You know for me, the big

40
00:01:40,480 --> 00:01:43,720
Speaker 1: thing where you know, I think that everyone realized last

41
00:01:43,800 --> 00:01:46,960
Speaker 1: year we never really had a solidify five until the

42
00:01:47,000 --> 00:01:49,480
Speaker 1: second half of the season. Um. And as a running back,

43
00:01:49,520 --> 00:01:52,320
Speaker 1: and I know I can say this in Wayne and uh, Eli,

44
00:01:52,360 --> 00:01:54,560
Speaker 1: all those guys getting a gree with me, just getting

45
00:01:54,560 --> 00:01:56,920
Speaker 1: to feel um, you know it's running is kind of

46
00:01:56,920 --> 00:01:58,440
Speaker 1: like an art. What I was talking about that was

47
00:01:59,280 --> 00:02:01,800
Speaker 1: with the line today. UM. Where this is inside zone,

48
00:02:01,840 --> 00:02:04,240
Speaker 1: whether it's a gap scheme, whether it kind of wherever,

49
00:02:04,280 --> 00:02:06,120
Speaker 1: kind of running is just a feel for each other,

50
00:02:06,280 --> 00:02:08,799
Speaker 1: UM understanding how can I set them up, what kind

51
00:02:08,800 --> 00:02:10,760
Speaker 1: of blocking the light to do? Um? And how can

52
00:02:10,800 --> 00:02:13,280
Speaker 1: I put linebackers on them? So uh, just adding those

53
00:02:13,320 --> 00:02:16,160
Speaker 1: guys who are pros and UM who've done it at

54
00:02:16,160 --> 00:02:18,720
Speaker 1: a high level definitely helps. But then just to be

55
00:02:18,760 --> 00:02:20,160
Speaker 1: able to have them here now and then be able

56
00:02:20,200 --> 00:02:22,400
Speaker 1: to get that mess and uh, to be able to

57
00:02:22,400 --> 00:02:25,080
Speaker 1: start off now early definitely gonna help when the season

58
00:02:25,120 --> 00:02:29,760
Speaker 1: comes along. Ads, like a hundred touches available? You had

59
00:02:29,760 --> 00:02:33,400
Speaker 1: three two touches last year carries and catches. Can you

60
00:02:33,440 --> 00:02:36,160
Speaker 1: go over that number this year? Or is that touhy? Um.

61
00:02:36,200 --> 00:02:39,560
Speaker 1: I don't think any numbers too high for me personally. Um.

62
00:02:39,600 --> 00:02:41,040
Speaker 1: At the end of the day, I know I seth

63
00:02:41,120 --> 00:02:43,680
Speaker 1: like a broken record. UM. And you guys can keep

64
00:02:43,720 --> 00:02:45,440
Speaker 1: hearing this for as long as I'm playing here or

65
00:02:45,480 --> 00:02:48,480
Speaker 1: playing in the NFL. UH, as long as I take

66
00:02:48,520 --> 00:02:50,480
Speaker 1: care of my body, um, and continue to do the

67
00:02:50,560 --> 00:02:52,280
Speaker 1: right thing. So my bodies gonna take care of me.

68
00:02:52,800 --> 00:02:55,200
Speaker 1: Uh So I'm gonna continue to have my team around me.

69
00:02:55,639 --> 00:02:57,679
Speaker 1: Obviously have a great strange staff here and a great

70
00:02:57,680 --> 00:03:00,239
Speaker 1: training staff here. But I gotta be a pro side

71
00:03:00,280 --> 00:03:02,880
Speaker 1: of facility. And whether it's three hundred fifty touches, whether

72
00:03:02,880 --> 00:03:05,799
Speaker 1: it's for into touches, whether it's less touches next year, um,

73
00:03:05,840 --> 00:03:08,360
Speaker 1: whether I gotta do to help this team win games

74
00:03:08,400 --> 00:03:11,280
Speaker 1: and compete for a championship, I'm willing to do. You

75
00:03:11,360 --> 00:03:13,960
Speaker 1: mentioned that you know your tobe Be offense is going

76
00:03:14,000 --> 00:03:16,720
Speaker 1: to be it's more comfortable for everybody. Still, when you

77
00:03:16,760 --> 00:03:18,920
Speaker 1: have a couple of new pieces on that offensive line,

78
00:03:18,960 --> 00:03:21,040
Speaker 1: does that take a little you know, like I guess,

79
00:03:21,080 --> 00:03:23,120
Speaker 1: getting used to in order to bring the speed back

80
00:03:23,200 --> 00:03:25,600
Speaker 1: up to where it should be you think, Um, I

81
00:03:25,600 --> 00:03:28,840
Speaker 1: want to say it tastes them getting YouTube, but obviously,

82
00:03:29,120 --> 00:03:30,959
Speaker 1: like you said, it's a little difference. I got you

83
00:03:31,000 --> 00:03:34,040
Speaker 1: can say, but you won't really really know until you

84
00:03:34,040 --> 00:03:36,200
Speaker 1: you're playing full speed. You can't really do all the

85
00:03:36,280 --> 00:03:38,160
Speaker 1: kind of runs that you want to do. Uh and

86
00:03:38,480 --> 00:03:40,640
Speaker 1: shirts and the helmets, Um, you need to show the

87
00:03:40,680 --> 00:03:43,320
Speaker 1: paths for that. So uh, but to get it down

88
00:03:43,360 --> 00:03:45,200
Speaker 1: now and to just get used to them now and

89
00:03:45,520 --> 00:03:47,240
Speaker 1: uh see what they like and just talk. You know,

90
00:03:47,280 --> 00:03:49,760
Speaker 1: communication is big, and football big and sports big in life,

91
00:03:49,800 --> 00:03:51,640
Speaker 1: to be honest, but um, just to be able to talk,

92
00:03:51,680 --> 00:03:54,720
Speaker 1: communicate and watch film and go back and the next

93
00:03:54,760 --> 00:03:57,000
Speaker 1: day and try something new and see if they like

94
00:03:57,080 --> 00:03:59,240
Speaker 1: that and they say if I like it. And when

95
00:03:59,240 --> 00:04:01,240
Speaker 1: an opportunity come ms and when it comes to camp,

96
00:04:01,400 --> 00:04:02,840
Speaker 1: when you could put pads on, and when it comes

97
00:04:02,840 --> 00:04:04,880
Speaker 1: to preseason, and then when it comes to the game,

98
00:04:05,560 --> 00:04:07,480
Speaker 1: we should definitely be meshed well and be ready to

99
00:04:07,480 --> 00:04:10,240
Speaker 1: go to a bunch of times about growings over they're

100
00:04:10,400 --> 00:04:12,839
Speaker 1: coming even more of a leaders um, now that there's

101
00:04:12,880 --> 00:04:15,040
Speaker 1: a class under you, you know, and you're not the

102
00:04:15,080 --> 00:04:18,520
Speaker 1: rookie anymore, do you? Is there anything you tangibly you're

103
00:04:18,520 --> 00:04:21,279
Speaker 1: trying to do differently or be different just saying this

104
00:04:21,400 --> 00:04:22,960
Speaker 1: is my second year and I want to do this

105
00:04:23,040 --> 00:04:26,039
Speaker 1: a little different than the show my leadership. Um, not

106
00:04:26,160 --> 00:04:30,559
Speaker 1: really anything different. Um, just be me, uh, and that's

107
00:04:30,680 --> 00:04:34,440
Speaker 1: you know, that's where it's all comes down. Um, be

108
00:04:34,520 --> 00:04:36,520
Speaker 1: the guy that who you're raised, who your parents raised.

109
00:04:36,520 --> 00:04:38,360
Speaker 1: You have that same work I think that you had

110
00:04:38,360 --> 00:04:40,719
Speaker 1: in Whitehall and Penn's day and now in NFL. And

111
00:04:41,200 --> 00:04:42,440
Speaker 1: that's why I do. I come out here. I try

112
00:04:42,440 --> 00:04:44,440
Speaker 1: to work, trying to compete, uh, try to set the

113
00:04:44,480 --> 00:04:47,200
Speaker 1: tone for the offense and um for the team as

114
00:04:47,200 --> 00:04:49,400
Speaker 1: a whole. And uh I'm able to do that. Um.

115
00:04:49,760 --> 00:04:51,320
Speaker 1: You know I did at a high level. Actually has

116
00:04:51,320 --> 00:04:54,080
Speaker 1: a rookie uh, and I know rookies are coming in. Uh.

117
00:04:54,120 --> 00:04:55,960
Speaker 1: You know I'm one of those pieces one of God's

118
00:04:56,000 --> 00:04:59,400
Speaker 1: not only myself, but Eli and Will and all those

119
00:04:59,440 --> 00:05:01,200
Speaker 1: guys are. They're looking up to just and see how

120
00:05:01,240 --> 00:05:02,839
Speaker 1: you work, because I know I was doing the same

121
00:05:02,839 --> 00:05:04,800
Speaker 1: thing when I came here. I was watching Shup, I

122
00:05:04,839 --> 00:05:07,040
Speaker 1: was watching Evan. I was watching those guys and how

123
00:05:07,040 --> 00:05:09,080
Speaker 1: they work and how they practice. When Jonathan's too was here,

124
00:05:09,120 --> 00:05:10,920
Speaker 1: I was watching him. UM. So I know that they're

125
00:05:10,920 --> 00:05:12,680
Speaker 1: watching me. And try to set the example by just

126
00:05:12,720 --> 00:05:15,200
Speaker 1: being myself in um, just doing things the right way

127
00:05:15,200 --> 00:05:17,039
Speaker 1: and coming here and um trying to work and be

128
00:05:17,080 --> 00:05:19,240
Speaker 1: the best I can be every day. There's another market

129
00:05:19,240 --> 00:05:23,560
Speaker 1: you're countdown, LEVI I'm Bell obviously, and somebody who you

130
00:05:23,600 --> 00:05:26,320
Speaker 1: might have watched or compare yourself to do you look

131
00:05:26,360 --> 00:05:30,080
Speaker 1: at that as you know, maybe I added motivation or

132
00:05:30,160 --> 00:05:32,840
Speaker 1: extra challenge, or do you like, you know, I want

133
00:05:32,880 --> 00:05:35,560
Speaker 1: to go and prove yourself even more. Because um, it's

134
00:05:35,560 --> 00:05:37,800
Speaker 1: funny you say watched I was a fan. I mean

135
00:05:37,960 --> 00:05:40,880
Speaker 1: I came. I was in my second NFL in college.

136
00:05:41,120 --> 00:05:43,400
Speaker 1: You used to watch Levian. Um, then when I got here,

137
00:05:43,440 --> 00:05:45,040
Speaker 1: he's one of the first guys I broke down his film,

138
00:05:45,120 --> 00:05:47,839
Speaker 1: and uh, I don't see his extra motivation. Um, at

139
00:05:47,839 --> 00:05:49,480
Speaker 1: the end of the day, I'm competing in my mindset.

140
00:05:49,480 --> 00:05:51,919
Speaker 1: I'm competing with myself and competing here, uh to be

141
00:05:52,000 --> 00:05:54,160
Speaker 1: the best for my team. Um, obviously, you know I

142
00:05:54,200 --> 00:05:56,960
Speaker 1: would love to have this and down and like that's

143
00:05:56,960 --> 00:05:59,520
Speaker 1: just obvious. But you know I really don't care what

144
00:05:59,600 --> 00:06:01,280
Speaker 1: he does over there with any running back and then

145
00:06:01,560 --> 00:06:03,360
Speaker 1: the league does. The only thing I focused on is

146
00:06:03,400 --> 00:06:08,920
Speaker 1: here and winning games. Theres no, I haven't. I only

147
00:06:08,920 --> 00:06:11,960
Speaker 1: ever really met him one time. Um it was short, brief,

148
00:06:12,240 --> 00:06:14,840
Speaker 1: talked about social media a couple of times, but uh,

149
00:06:14,920 --> 00:06:17,920
Speaker 1: you know we definitely both respect each other game and UM,

150
00:06:17,960 --> 00:06:20,600
Speaker 1: you know I'm happy that obviously he sat out last year,

151
00:06:20,640 --> 00:06:23,400
Speaker 1: and uh, you know that's just not good for the league.

152
00:06:23,400 --> 00:06:26,240
Speaker 1: In general, because he's such a tremendous player. Um, you know,

153
00:06:26,279 --> 00:06:28,040
Speaker 1: you look forward to see a guy like that on Sundays,

154
00:06:28,080 --> 00:06:30,400
Speaker 1: and um, now it's for him to be you know,

155
00:06:30,600 --> 00:06:32,760
Speaker 1: at playing the same stadium. And I'm pretty sure we

156
00:06:32,760 --> 00:06:35,480
Speaker 1: play him this year, we play him every preseason. I'm

157
00:06:35,600 --> 00:06:38,080
Speaker 1: I'm pretty sure. So I'm just excited had from him,

158
00:06:38,120 --> 00:06:40,480
Speaker 1: happy that he found a spot, and happy that he's

159
00:06:40,480 --> 00:06:42,000
Speaker 1: able to show his talent. And you know, I wish

160

Speaker 1: nothing but the best from this year. Stilling. And do

161
00:06:46,279 --> 00:06:49,000
Speaker 1: you have any advice for him in terms of being,

162
00:06:49,360 --> 00:06:51,039
Speaker 1: you know, a first year player in this league for

163
00:06:51,080 --> 00:06:54,520
Speaker 1: this organization. Yeah, I mean DJ is doing really good. Um,

164
00:06:54,560 --> 00:06:56,640
Speaker 1: you know he's come out here, he's getting confident, more

165
00:06:56,640 --> 00:06:59,480
Speaker 1: confident every single day. Uh. And that that's the biggest thing.

166
00:06:59,520 --> 00:07:02,560
Speaker 1: It's to become becoming confident. Um. You know, you get

167
00:07:02,600 --> 00:07:04,960
Speaker 1: so worked up with all it's the NFL, and uh,

168
00:07:05,120 --> 00:07:06,560
Speaker 1: this is almost different than that by the end of

169
00:07:06,560 --> 00:07:09,320
Speaker 1: the day, is really not. Obviously quarterbacks a more complicated position,

170
00:07:09,720 --> 00:07:12,560
Speaker 1: um than really much any position on the field. But uh,

171
00:07:12,760 --> 00:07:14,840
Speaker 1: once he gets to continue to understand the playbook and

172
00:07:14,960 --> 00:07:16,760
Speaker 1: you can see it already, he's a competitor. You can

173
00:07:16,760 --> 00:07:18,600
Speaker 1: see in the look in his odds that he wanted

174
00:07:18,600 --> 00:07:20,720
Speaker 1: to get better every single day. And my advice to

175
00:07:20,800 --> 00:07:23,040
Speaker 1: him is just his football at the end of the day, Um,

176
00:07:23,120 --> 00:07:25,360
Speaker 1: just coming here and work. Uh. And when you're able

177
00:07:25,400 --> 00:07:27,360
Speaker 1: to do that, you know you're gonna your teammates gonna

178
00:07:27,360 --> 00:07:30,120
Speaker 1: gravitate towards you and whenever its opportunity to presents them,

179
00:07:30,760 --> 00:07:31,400
Speaker 1: ready
