Speaker 2: thank you so much for taking the time to join us.

00:00:19,560 --> 00:00:21,079
Speaker 1: How you doing, man, I'm doing good. How are you

00:00:21,120 --> 00:00:22,480
Speaker 1: guys do well?

9
00:00:22,640 --> 00:00:28,760
Speaker 3: Yeah, we're still sweating, true shower, that's the yeah.

10
00:00:28,800 --> 00:00:29,639
Speaker 1: God, it's crazy.

11
00:00:29,680 --> 00:00:32,279
Speaker 2: Like so, so the heat did you feel like it

12
00:00:32,360 --> 00:00:34,559
Speaker 2: was a lot before Miami?

13
00:00:34,680 --> 00:00:36,640
Speaker 4: I'll say a little fifty to fifty. I was a

14
00:00:36,680 --> 00:00:38,839
Speaker 4: little used to it and I understand how it was.

15
00:00:38,920 --> 00:00:42,160
Speaker 4: But then just going down to Florida, I was like, oh, yeah,

16
00:00:42,200 --> 00:00:45,000
Speaker 4: this is this is nothing compared to down there, but

17
00:00:45,440 --> 00:00:47,279
Speaker 4: it is heating nubbed up here a little bit.

18
00:00:47,360 --> 00:00:47,560
Speaker 1: Now.

19
00:00:47,920 --> 00:00:50,959
Speaker 2: You got, you know, a lot of run in that

20
00:00:51,000 --> 00:00:54,040
Speaker 2: first preseason game, and it's something I was telling everybody.

21
00:00:54,080 --> 00:00:56,760
Speaker 2: I'm like, Carlos is going to have a big preseason.

22
00:00:56,800 --> 00:00:59,640
Speaker 2: I predicted you to actually lead the NFL in rushing

23
00:00:59,720 --> 00:01:01,680
Speaker 2: yards in the preseason. So I still I still get

24
00:01:01,680 --> 00:01:04,959
Speaker 2: my fingers crossed. I know I know, too big, but

25
00:01:05,319 --> 00:01:07,280
Speaker 2: the carries of it all, like it's clear that you're

26
00:01:07,319 --> 00:01:09,640
Speaker 2: somebody they trust, it's clear that you're somebody that they

27
00:01:09,720 --> 00:01:12,520
Speaker 2: want to see in action and really kind of valuate

28
00:01:12,600 --> 00:01:14,480
Speaker 2: how how do you feel you played in that first game?

29
00:01:15,160 --> 00:01:17,440
Speaker 1: I felt like I felt I played confident.

30
00:01:18,040 --> 00:01:21,000
Speaker 4: Obviously, like I said once before, there are a couple

31
00:01:21,000 --> 00:01:22,600
Speaker 4: of players that I went back, you know, just to

32
00:01:22,760 --> 00:01:25,480
Speaker 4: capitalize more on them. But overall, I felt like I

33
00:01:25,480 --> 00:01:28,200
Speaker 4: had a solid performance and just got to build on

34
00:01:28,240 --> 00:01:28,720
Speaker 4: from there.

35
00:01:28,959 --> 00:01:31,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, I know it can be. It can be really tough,

36
00:01:31,440 --> 00:01:33,640
Speaker 2: especially in a preseason game because of the mix and

37
00:01:33,720 --> 00:01:36,600
Speaker 2: match nature, right of of the different lineups and sure,

38
00:01:36,720 --> 00:01:39,400
Speaker 2: and the guys that you know, maybe you've got a

39
00:01:39,480 --> 00:01:41,040
Speaker 2: right tackle in there for one series and all of

40
00:01:41,040 --> 00:01:42,640
Speaker 2: a sudden he's out and he's got another guy in

41
00:01:42,680 --> 00:01:43,080
Speaker 2: there as well.

42
00:01:43,120 --> 00:01:45,800
Speaker 1: So there's there's a message with the rhythm, Yeah, for sure.

43
00:01:46,480 --> 00:01:47,400
Speaker 1: So what is that?

44
00:01:47,600 --> 00:01:50,720
Speaker 2: Is there anything that you kind of like maybe keep

45
00:01:50,840 --> 00:01:53,160
Speaker 2: in your herder in your mind as you're going through

46
00:01:53,160 --> 00:01:55,920
Speaker 2: a preseason game of like what you can and can't control?

47
00:01:56,880 --> 00:01:59,920
Speaker 4: For sure, you always have to know what you can

48
00:02:00,200 --> 00:02:02,559
Speaker 4: and cannot control, because that way you don't know, psych

49
00:02:02,600 --> 00:02:05,240
Speaker 4: yourself out. So you just I just continue to tell myself,

50
00:02:05,600 --> 00:02:08,120
Speaker 4: you know, take a deep breath. One player at the time,

51
00:02:08,600 --> 00:02:10,200
Speaker 4: even in the hut, I'll tear you boy. One player

52
00:02:10,200 --> 00:02:11,600
Speaker 4: at the time. I like to say, let's get this

53
00:02:11,680 --> 00:02:14,520
Speaker 4: money a lot just to kind of get the guys going.

54
00:02:14,600 --> 00:02:17,520
Speaker 4: But other than that, just continue to remind them and

55
00:02:17,639 --> 00:02:19,480
Speaker 4: myself that, you know, we got this one player at

56
00:02:19,520 --> 00:02:20,600
Speaker 4: the time and let's go.

57
00:02:20,720 --> 00:02:22,760
Speaker 3: I know we talked I think it was last week

58
00:02:22,800 --> 00:02:26,799
Speaker 3: a lot about your growth from last preseason of this preseason.

59
00:02:27,160 --> 00:02:29,239
Speaker 3: Can you tell I guess the viewers the listeners a

60
00:02:29,280 --> 00:02:31,520
Speaker 3: little bit about that because that really spoke to me

61
00:02:31,560 --> 00:02:34,400
Speaker 3: where you're like putting less pressure on myself even though

62
00:02:34,440 --> 00:02:37,160
Speaker 3: you've already said too, you're really hard on yourself. So

63
00:02:37,200 --> 00:02:38,800
Speaker 3: what's that balance like this year?

64
00:02:39,200 --> 00:02:42,280
Speaker 4: Yes, you know, going in a year two just all

65
00:02:42,280 --> 00:02:45,120
Speaker 4: about you know, believing yourself, believing in your crab, believing

66
00:02:45,280 --> 00:02:47,680
Speaker 4: in the work that you put in, and you know,

67
00:02:47,800 --> 00:02:51,680
Speaker 4: just trying not to overthink yourself. If you make a mistake,

68
00:02:51,720 --> 00:02:54,040
Speaker 4: make a fullt be mistake and you know, coach it up,

69
00:02:54,040 --> 00:02:56,440
Speaker 4: watch it on film. But you know, just don't be

70
00:02:56,480 --> 00:02:59,799
Speaker 4: afraid to be you because a lot of times. Part

71
00:02:59,800 --> 00:03:02,600
Speaker 4: of the part of the stuff that holds you back

72
00:03:02,720 --> 00:03:06,200
Speaker 4: is you not allowing yourself to be one hundred percent authentic,

73
00:03:06,360 --> 00:03:09,680
Speaker 4: because then you're not being yourself. They will so you

74
00:03:09,800 --> 00:03:13,840
Speaker 4: can't be authentic to anyone at work. You can't focus

75
00:03:13,960 --> 00:03:16,160
Speaker 4: half the time because you're just so in your thoughts

76
00:03:16,160 --> 00:03:19,920
Speaker 4: about things. So, you know, just coming in with confidence

77
00:03:19,960 --> 00:03:23,080
Speaker 4: and just keep telling myself, you know, I believe here.

78
00:03:23,360 --> 00:03:24,119
Speaker 1: I believe here.

79
00:03:24,160 --> 00:03:28,400
Speaker 4: Wow, I believe I belong here, and you know, just

80
00:03:28,919 --> 00:03:29,840
Speaker 4: keep showing that.

81
00:03:29,840 --> 00:03:32,200
Speaker 3: That was something your position coach Michael Petrie was talking

82
00:03:32,240 --> 00:03:35,360
Speaker 3: about that he now sees that you believe in yourself

83
00:03:35,360 --> 00:03:37,760
Speaker 3: that you belong here more so than last year. Yes,

84
00:03:38,000 --> 00:03:39,720
Speaker 3: and you said it yourself. Now, do you think even

85
00:03:39,800 --> 00:03:41,760
Speaker 3: last year you were maybe just trying to like prove

86
00:03:41,840 --> 00:03:43,760
Speaker 3: that you belonged here, whereas now you're like, I.

87
00:03:43,720 --> 00:03:48,000
Speaker 4: Do for sure, not as you said that most definitely,

88
00:03:48,240 --> 00:03:52,760
Speaker 4: because you know, last year, coming in undrafted, I felt

89
00:03:52,760 --> 00:03:54,560
Speaker 4: like I had a lot to prove. So I feel

90
00:03:54,640 --> 00:03:57,120
Speaker 4: like that me putting that a lot, a lot of

91
00:03:57,120 --> 00:03:59,440
Speaker 4: that pressure on myself of having to proved something, having

92
00:03:59,480 --> 00:04:01,880
Speaker 4: to prove something, I kind of just lost sight of

93
00:04:01,920 --> 00:04:04,160
Speaker 4: the mango so just keeping the main thing the main

94
00:04:04,160 --> 00:04:06,960
Speaker 4: thing this time around, while also knowing that I do

95
00:04:07,040 --> 00:04:09,120
Speaker 4: have the continue to prove myself, but at the same

96
00:04:09,160 --> 00:04:13,720
Speaker 4: time be myself, play my game, make the plays that

97
00:04:13,840 --> 00:04:16,120
Speaker 4: need to be played, and then leave everything else.

98
00:04:16,400 --> 00:04:19,000
Speaker 3: How much does it mean to you hearing that Petrie

99
00:04:19,080 --> 00:04:21,920
Speaker 3: sees that in you, sees that growth and that step forward.

100
00:04:22,040 --> 00:04:25,200
Speaker 1: Yes, man, that's my guy, man, my road dog.

101
00:04:25,279 --> 00:04:27,960
Speaker 4: But it means a lot, you know, just just showing

102
00:04:28,040 --> 00:04:30,919
Speaker 4: that that coach well, hearing that, you know, coach, trust

103
00:04:31,000 --> 00:04:33,920
Speaker 4: me now and he sees the growth that I'm making

104
00:04:34,000 --> 00:04:34,920
Speaker 4: and he's a big part.

105
00:04:34,800 --> 00:04:35,320
Speaker 1: Of that growth.

106
00:04:35,640 --> 00:04:38,240
Speaker 3: Phew, at least he sees it over here.

107
00:04:39,400 --> 00:04:41,760
Speaker 2: It's Yeah, it's really fascinating. There's a book called The

108
00:04:41,760 --> 00:04:45,000
Speaker 2: Inner Game of Tennis, and even though it's about tennis,

109
00:04:45,040 --> 00:04:47,320
Speaker 2: I know, like Steve Kerr has used it for the Warriors,

110
00:04:47,360 --> 00:04:49,680
Speaker 2: and I think Pete Carroll with the Seahawks, Like it's

111
00:04:49,880 --> 00:04:53,200
Speaker 2: really just about getting that internal monologue and that voice

112
00:04:53,720 --> 00:04:55,440
Speaker 2: outside of you and like kind of putting that off

113
00:04:55,440 --> 00:04:57,920
Speaker 2: to the side because your body like knows what it's

114
00:04:57,960 --> 00:05:02,080
Speaker 2: doing right for like all incredible like well designed machines

115
00:05:02,160 --> 00:05:04,520
Speaker 2: and if you just can kind of not think, but

116
00:05:04,760 --> 00:05:08,039
Speaker 2: just do, just visualize and do that. You're much more

117
00:05:08,400 --> 00:05:10,560
Speaker 2: like equipped to perform in that way than we all

118
00:05:10,560 --> 00:05:13,040
Speaker 2: think we are. Is that kind of the feeling that

119
00:05:13,400 --> 00:05:15,120
Speaker 2: you feel like in year two? It's kind of like

120
00:05:15,839 --> 00:05:17,560
Speaker 2: I don't need to think about what I'm doing. I

121
00:05:17,560 --> 00:05:20,040
Speaker 2: don't need to be in control. I can just kind

122
00:05:20,040 --> 00:05:21,520
Speaker 2: of react and let the flow come to me.

123
00:05:21,920 --> 00:05:23,960
Speaker 4: Zer for sure, you kind of hit it on the head,

124
00:05:24,000 --> 00:05:26,880
Speaker 4: you know, like you just said, just kind of reacting

125
00:05:26,920 --> 00:05:29,480
Speaker 4: into things now rather than thinking about it. Oh well,

126
00:05:29,800 --> 00:05:31,359
Speaker 4: I get in the open field with move am I

127
00:05:31,400 --> 00:05:33,279
Speaker 4: going to make? Or if this God blisses, how am

128
00:05:33,320 --> 00:05:34,599
Speaker 4: I going to pick it up? You know what I'm saying.

129
00:05:34,600 --> 00:05:38,120
Speaker 4: It's just that just goes to believing in yourself and

130
00:05:38,120 --> 00:05:39,880
Speaker 4: believing in your crabs so that when you're on the

131
00:05:39,880 --> 00:05:42,560
Speaker 4: field you could just react and make the routine play.

132
00:05:42,680 --> 00:05:46,000
Speaker 2: I'll be honest, Carlos, the last eighteen hours or so

133
00:05:46,040 --> 00:05:51,640
Speaker 2: for me has been very heavy. Matthew Judon right understanding, yes,

134
00:05:51,800 --> 00:05:53,680
Speaker 2: And one of the things that stands out to me

135
00:05:53,720 --> 00:05:56,200
Speaker 2: about him is kind of his ability to set the

136
00:05:56,320 --> 00:05:58,600
Speaker 2: edge right. It's really strong arm and kind of control

137
00:05:58,680 --> 00:06:01,800
Speaker 2: and define what the boundary looks like most definitely from

138
00:06:01,800 --> 00:06:04,000
Speaker 2: your perspective on the other side, what are some of

139
00:06:04,040 --> 00:06:06,640
Speaker 2: the things that you're looking for when you get the

140
00:06:06,640 --> 00:06:09,440
Speaker 2: ball in your hands and you're kind of determining whether

141
00:06:09,520 --> 00:06:11,599
Speaker 2: that edge is accessible for you as a running back

142
00:06:11,680 --> 00:06:13,400
Speaker 2: or if you have to kind of bounce things back inside.

143
00:06:13,520 --> 00:06:15,840
Speaker 4: Well, it's definitely, Well you kind of just said it. Uh, first,

144
00:06:15,880 --> 00:06:17,880
Speaker 4: I'm looking at the edge, you know what I'm saying.

145
00:06:17,920 --> 00:06:20,200
Speaker 4: If I if he's reached and I feel like I

146
00:06:20,240 --> 00:06:21,960
Speaker 4: can get outside, then I'm going to hit it one

147
00:06:22,000 --> 00:06:24,360
Speaker 4: hundred miles an hour. But if he's not reach then

148
00:06:24,400 --> 00:06:26,279
Speaker 4: I just got to read back one gap at a

149
00:06:26,279 --> 00:06:28,040
Speaker 4: time and just make the best decision.

150
00:06:28,360 --> 00:06:30,279
Speaker 1: Awesome, what's it? What's it been like?

151
00:06:30,440 --> 00:06:34,240
Speaker 2: You know, kind of with Michael Pennix being back there

152
00:06:34,279 --> 00:06:36,839
Speaker 2: and kind of the command, Like it feels like he's

153
00:06:36,839 --> 00:06:39,880
Speaker 2: got such a wealth of knowledge already for somebody so young,

154
00:06:39,920 --> 00:06:41,640
Speaker 2: because he's seen so much. But what's it been like

155
00:06:41,680 --> 00:06:42,599
Speaker 2: being in the huddle with him?

156
00:06:42,839 --> 00:06:43,000
Speaker 1: Oh?

157
00:06:43,080 --> 00:06:46,440

266
00:12:15,280 --> 00:12:17,920
Speaker 2: Taiwan really. I love that answer.

267
00:12:18,000 --> 00:12:22,280
Speaker 4: Why I like Taiwan He's he's real clever, He's he's meticulous,

268
00:12:22,320 --> 00:12:26,000
Speaker 4: He's strategic with everything, and he always found found a

269
00:12:26,040 --> 00:12:28,520
Speaker 4: way to get out of tough situations.

270
00:12:28,679 --> 00:12:32,480
Speaker 1: You did except for that one? Yeah, except spoilers if

271
00:12:32,559 --> 00:12:32,760
Speaker 1: you know.

272
00:12:32,920 --> 00:12:37,719
Speaker 3: You know. I like that name though, because it just

273
00:12:37,760 --> 00:12:39,720
Speaker 3: sounds like a toddler saying my name taown.

274
00:12:41,080 --> 00:12:45,480
Speaker 1: That's great. I never thought about so true. You mentioned

275
00:12:45,520 --> 00:12:48,319
Speaker 1: he's meticulous. What what about you? How meticulous are you?

276
00:12:48,520 --> 00:12:51,280
Speaker 2: We've we've heard a lot about Kirk Cousins being extremely

277
00:12:51,480 --> 00:12:53,720
Speaker 2: like note taking all of that stuff.

278
00:12:53,720 --> 00:12:55,040
Speaker 1: He's got it down to a t yeh.

279
00:12:55,120 --> 00:12:57,000
Speaker 2: Probably a little bit different from running back because you

280
00:12:57,000 --> 00:12:58,359
Speaker 2: mentioned like it's more instinctual.

281
00:12:58,440 --> 00:13:00,679
Speaker 1: It's out there. But do you have any methods in

282
00:13:00,760 --> 00:13:02,640
Speaker 1: the classroom that you find help you out there? On

283
00:13:02,679 --> 00:13:03,040
Speaker 1: the praxe?

284
00:13:03,040 --> 00:13:07,040
Speaker 4: Field most definitely obviously anything coaches talking about or Kirk

285
00:13:07,080 --> 00:13:10,319
Speaker 4: when he's up there, I'm gitting nosed down. But in

286
00:13:10,480 --> 00:13:13,520
Speaker 4: general you're saying, like in terms of like studying their

287
00:13:13,600 --> 00:13:18,040
Speaker 4: permanent Yeah, okay, yeah, just watch film and just try

288
00:13:18,080 --> 00:13:20,599
Speaker 4: to check down tendencies like how do they react to

289
00:13:20,720 --> 00:13:24,160
Speaker 4: run when it's play action? You know, are they still

290
00:13:24,240 --> 00:13:27,480
Speaker 4: hitting the gap or are they bailing out past game?

291
00:13:27,559 --> 00:13:31,640
Speaker 4: How are there one on one instinctuals? And just overall

292
00:13:31,720 --> 00:13:35,240
Speaker 4: just watching their game and just taking from that and

293
00:13:35,440 --> 00:13:38,200
Speaker 4: try to imply it into my game, you know, little

294
00:13:38,240 --> 00:13:41,679
Speaker 4: things that I can try to steal to do my job.

295
00:13:42,920 --> 00:13:45,000
Speaker 3: What kind of learner are you? Because like I know,

296
00:13:45,120 --> 00:13:47,079
Speaker 3: for me personally, I have to write things out and

297
00:13:47,160 --> 00:13:49,120
Speaker 3: helps you remember it a lot. Like even during the game,

298
00:13:49,160 --> 00:13:50,600
Speaker 3: Will was like, why are you taking play by play

299
00:13:50,640 --> 00:13:53,199
Speaker 3: when it's right here on our computer? Because it just

300
00:13:53,360 --> 00:13:55,520
Speaker 3: like it helps click so much more so, what kind

301
00:13:55,520 --> 00:13:59,920
Speaker 3: of learn are you? Like reding visually like participation.

302
00:14:00,720 --> 00:14:03,280
Speaker 1: I'm definitely a visual learner for sure.

303
00:14:04,160 --> 00:14:07,079
Speaker 4: In a little a little kennistegg as well, I can

304
00:14:07,200 --> 00:14:09,040
Speaker 4: I can learn very well just looking at it and

305
00:14:09,200 --> 00:14:11,440
Speaker 4: kind of just going over it. But once I actually

306
00:14:11,880 --> 00:14:14,760
Speaker 4: performed the action, then it's it's kind of locked in

307
00:14:14,880 --> 00:14:15,199
Speaker 4: after that.

308
00:14:15,400 --> 00:14:17,199
Speaker 2: Okay, I'm kind of the same way. I find like

309
00:14:17,280 --> 00:14:19,840
Speaker 2: if I drive, for example, go to somebody's house like

310
00:14:20,000 --> 00:14:21,640
Speaker 2: one time, usually it's locked in.

311
00:14:22,640 --> 00:14:25,040
Speaker 4: Yeah. Yeah, Like I'm a big I'm a big especially

312
00:14:25,120 --> 00:14:27,440
Speaker 4: like if you're talking about that, I'm a big landmark person.

313
00:14:27,600 --> 00:14:30,520
Speaker 1: Yes, I can say, oh, like yeah, just make the

314
00:14:30,960 --> 00:14:33,680
Speaker 1: right by the CVS. Yeah yeah, go to the birdhouse

315
00:14:33,760 --> 00:14:36,080
Speaker 1: yeah instead of second right.

316
00:14:37,920 --> 00:14:41,520
Speaker 3: Very specific. I couldn't named like five roads.

317
00:14:41,720 --> 00:14:43,200
Speaker 1: Okay, we're putting a pin and smurfrock.

318
00:14:44,680 --> 00:14:46,480
Speaker 2: Let's let's go and wrap up, Carlos, because I know

319
00:14:46,560 --> 00:14:48,960
Speaker 2: you're you're busy, but we're gonna do our camp Champ.

320
00:14:49,680 --> 00:14:51,840
Speaker 2: Give you one second to think about a Terran today?

321
00:14:51,880 --> 00:14:54,160
Speaker 2: Did you have anybody that stood out to you out

322
00:14:54,200 --> 00:14:54,840
Speaker 2: on the praxe field.

323
00:14:54,880 --> 00:14:56,480
Speaker 3: So it's going to be in the best thing. I

324
00:14:56,560 --> 00:14:59,000
Speaker 3: saw a story, and I'm going to pick Micah Abernathy

325
00:14:59,560 --> 00:15:02,320
Speaker 3: because is he had that interception today though Michael Penick

326
00:15:02,360 --> 00:15:05,280
Speaker 3: Junior said he was out of bounce, so is that

327
00:15:05,440 --> 00:15:09,360
Speaker 3: just him wanting that bad? But I'm gonna go with

328
00:15:09,440 --> 00:15:13,960
Speaker 3: that solely because given the DeMarco Hellums News. It would be.

329
00:15:14,240 --> 00:15:16,720
Speaker 3: It's like key timing for Micah to step up and

330
00:15:16,880 --> 00:15:20,200
Speaker 3: really show that he can be a huge asset in

331
00:15:20,280 --> 00:15:22,440
Speaker 3: that role and capitalize on the opportunity.

332
00:15:22,800 --> 00:15:25,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, it was.

333
00:15:25,840 --> 00:15:27,440
Speaker 3: It was a great It was very big.

334
00:15:29,120 --> 00:15:31,760
Speaker 1: Anybody you want to you wanta shout out for her session?

335
00:15:33,040 --> 00:15:35,120
Speaker 4: Yeah, I feel like the defense got after us today.

336
00:15:35,880 --> 00:15:38,000
Speaker 4: So I'm gonna say, Kane, Now, this man, he's Kane

337
00:15:38,080 --> 00:15:41,640
Speaker 4: is a guy. He's We're getting each other better for sure,

338
00:15:41,720 --> 00:15:42,640
Speaker 4: but he's a guy.

339
00:15:42,760 --> 00:15:42,920
Speaker 3: Man.

340
00:15:43,320 --> 00:15:43,960
Speaker 1: He's troubling.

341
00:15:44,280 --> 00:15:46,320
Speaker 3: I saw him chasing Michael at one point. I was like,

342
00:15:46,360 --> 00:15:47,400
Speaker 3: I would turn on those jets.

343
00:15:49,560 --> 00:15:51,760
Speaker 4: He has to step the speed too, That's what I'm saying.

344
00:15:51,800 --> 00:15:55,080
Speaker 4: He's he's he does a lot of things. Well, yeah

345
00:15:55,200 --> 00:15:55,520
Speaker 4: he does.

346
00:15:55,960 --> 00:15:56,240
Speaker 3: He was.

347
00:15:56,400 --> 00:15:59,360
Speaker 2: He was a lot of this podcast a little while ago,

348
00:15:59,600 --> 00:16:02,160
Speaker 2: and he was telling us about his family Olympics and everything,

349
00:16:02,240 --> 00:16:04,480
Speaker 2: and I mean that whole family athletic.

350
00:16:04,680 --> 00:16:11,040

Speaker 1: love that.

352
00:16:11,680 --> 00:16:14,360
Speaker 2: I don't think Cayden has been our camp champ yet.

353
00:16:14,840 --> 00:16:17,320
Speaker 2: I think when he was here, actually he nominated Clark

354
00:16:17,360 --> 00:16:20,240
Speaker 2: Phillips if I'm getting that right. Clark is won too.

355
00:16:20,400 --> 00:16:24,000
Speaker 2: He's having a good camp so far. But I think

356
00:16:24,040 --> 00:16:26,880
Speaker 2: we can name Cayden. I wasn't I wasn't out there.

357
00:16:26,880 --> 00:16:29,000
Speaker 2: I was working on a lot of the Matthew Judon stuff.

358
00:16:29,360 --> 00:16:31,720
Speaker 2: So we'll we'll go ahead and give you the nod

359
00:16:31,880 --> 00:16:36,000
Speaker 2: on camp champ today and we'll say congratulations, Cayden got one.
