1
00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:03,080
Speaker 1: Joined out by the big man, Jolani Woods. Hey, we've

2
00:00:03,080 --> 00:00:05,359
Speaker 1: seen what you've been doing this spring and these OTAs.

3
00:00:05,360 --> 00:00:08,239
Speaker 1: You're flying around everything. Obviously last year it was tough

4
00:00:08,280 --> 00:00:10,600
Speaker 1: coming off a year long injury. My first question is

5
00:00:10,640 --> 00:00:14,080
Speaker 1: not physically, but how are you mentally, Julanni after sitting

6
00:00:14,160 --> 00:00:16,680
Speaker 1: so far, having a great rookie campaign, having to sit

7
00:00:16,760 --> 00:00:17,680
Speaker 1: the second year of your.

8
00:00:17,600 --> 00:00:20,200
Speaker 2: Career, as shit, I'm feeling real good right now. Of course.

9
00:00:21,120 --> 00:00:23,400
Speaker 3: You know, I have a great support system beham me

10
00:00:23,640 --> 00:00:26,240
Speaker 3: on and off the field. You know, with coach Mann

11
00:00:26,239 --> 00:00:32,000
Speaker 3: and my whole group, Drew Tree, Colin, everybody, we all

12
00:00:32,040 --> 00:00:34,480
Speaker 3: stayed together. Even though I wasn't there, I was still there.

13
00:00:34,840 --> 00:00:39,640
Speaker 3: I was, you know, with the team for everything, meetings, field,

14
00:00:39,840 --> 00:00:43,199
Speaker 3: so on the field. You know, we stayed together. The

15
00:00:43,320 --> 00:00:45,839
Speaker 3: jokes are flying everywhere. So mentally I was good during that.

16
00:00:45,960 --> 00:00:48,040
Speaker 3: And then, like I said, I have a good support system.

17
00:00:48,120 --> 00:00:49,280
Speaker 2: My folks. We were very close.

18
00:00:49,360 --> 00:00:51,599
Speaker 3: So every day I would call them, literally every day

19
00:00:51,640 --> 00:00:54,040
Speaker 3: on FaceTime. We'll just talk about the day and kind

20
00:00:54,040 --> 00:00:56,600
Speaker 3: of you know, break down, make sure I was good,

21
00:00:56,640 --> 00:00:58,480
Speaker 3: and you know, kind of go about it like that.

22
00:00:58,640 --> 00:01:01,800
Speaker 1: Excellent talk about Anthony Richardson. Obviously you didn't have that

23
00:01:01,840 --> 00:01:04,000
Speaker 1: time last year to mold with them. But obviously in

24
00:01:04,040 --> 00:01:07,039
Speaker 1: the spring you have your connection with the quarterback. Oh awesome.

25
00:01:07,480 --> 00:01:09,760
Speaker 3: I'm loving honestly, because, like I said, I didn't have

26
00:01:09,840 --> 00:01:12,039
Speaker 3: the opportunity for real last year. So now you know,

27
00:01:12,200 --> 00:01:14,720
Speaker 3: just trying to get that connection going and as quickly

28
00:01:14,760 --> 00:01:15,440
Speaker 3: as possible.

29
00:01:15,800 --> 00:01:17,920
Speaker 2: And then you know, he was just awesome. Man.

30
00:01:17,959 --> 00:01:20,880
Speaker 3: It's just the passes he throwed like he'd be off

31
00:01:20,880 --> 00:01:24,119
Speaker 3: the charge, and then I feel like we got kind

32
00:01:24,120 --> 00:01:27,640
Speaker 3: of a connection already, honestly, So I'm just excited, man, Honestly,

33
00:01:27,680 --> 00:01:28,760
Speaker 3: I'm very excited.

34
00:01:28,880 --> 00:01:30,959
Speaker 4: Jewannie Woods is with us, and you're in such a

35
00:01:31,000 --> 00:01:33,600
Speaker 4: great spirit. Now you're out here, we're taping this right

36
00:01:33,680 --> 00:01:36,880
Speaker 4: after practice, you're making over the shoulder catches and you're

37
00:01:36,880 --> 00:01:39,520
Speaker 4: flying around out here. But not to go back and

38
00:01:40,160 --> 00:01:42,640
Speaker 4: relive the past, but but last year dealing with those

39
00:01:42,880 --> 00:01:46,320
Speaker 4: multiple hamstring injuries take us through just how much pain

40
00:01:46,400 --> 00:01:50,240
Speaker 4: and frustration you were in dealing with the one hamstring

41
00:01:50,520 --> 00:01:53,000
Speaker 4: that turned into the other. At what point in the

42
00:01:53,000 --> 00:01:55,560
Speaker 4: season were you're like, man, this just isn't my ear,

43
00:01:55,640 --> 00:01:56,960
Speaker 4: this is not in the cards for me.

44
00:01:57,040 --> 00:02:00,360
Speaker 3: This year, I'd say about week with eight, when we

45
00:02:00,360 --> 00:02:03,320
Speaker 3: was going to Germany because I got the call. Well,

46
00:02:03,440 --> 00:02:05,200
Speaker 3: I met with the you know, the staff or whatever.

47
00:02:05,240 --> 00:02:08,839
Speaker 3: They told me, we're probably gonna elevate you this next

48
00:02:08,840 --> 00:02:11,880
Speaker 3: week coming up, so I was very excited. Then they

49
00:02:11,960 --> 00:02:15,200
Speaker 3: had me do another training session, you know, that Sunday

50
00:02:15,240 --> 00:02:18,200
Speaker 3: before we was going to Germany, and then that's when

51
00:02:18,200 --> 00:02:19,359
Speaker 3: it ended up happening.

52
00:02:19,040 --> 00:02:20,160
Speaker 5: Again or the other hamstring.

53
00:02:20,240 --> 00:02:22,880
Speaker 3: Yeah, and that was you know, that was very frustrating

54
00:02:22,960 --> 00:02:25,639
Speaker 3: and everything like that. But you know, I just said,

55
00:02:25,639 --> 00:02:27,799
Speaker 3: I think God, I was able to kind of home

56
00:02:27,919 --> 00:02:31,000
Speaker 3: down and focus and then like I said, being with

57
00:02:31,040 --> 00:02:34,000
Speaker 3: my family again and everything like that, and just talking

58
00:02:34,040 --> 00:02:36,400
Speaker 3: to them, talking to coaches, talking to my teammates, and

59
00:02:36,480 --> 00:02:38,720
Speaker 3: you know, we all stay together. Sure, and I still

60
00:02:38,760 --> 00:02:40,880
Speaker 3: felt that you know, caaraderie around everybody.

61
00:02:40,919 --> 00:02:43,800
Speaker 2: So it was, you know, pretty good.

62
00:02:43,840 --> 00:02:46,799
Speaker 3: And then having that, knowing what happened there, just being

63
00:02:46,800 --> 00:02:50,280
Speaker 3: able to learn myself honestly mentally and physically that whole year,

64
00:02:50,639 --> 00:02:52,280
Speaker 3: then now I'm able to kind of be able to

65
00:02:52,320 --> 00:02:53,840
Speaker 3: take care of myself even more.

66
00:02:53,919 --> 00:02:56,520
Speaker 4: How important was that last year to still feel like

67
00:02:56,600 --> 00:02:59,600
Speaker 4: you were a part of the team, stay engaged meentally,

68
00:02:59,639 --> 00:03:02,600
Speaker 4: and have that camaraderie in that bond, even though last

69
00:03:02,680 --> 00:03:04,520
Speaker 4: year you obviously didn't see any time on the field.

70
00:03:05,040 --> 00:03:09,520
Speaker 3: Honestly, it was very important because like for me, I'm

71
00:03:09,560 --> 00:03:12,480
Speaker 3: a happy, go lucky guy, so I'm always smiling, always

72
00:03:12,480 --> 00:03:15,560
Speaker 3: trying to have fun. So me not having that, me

73
00:03:16,000 --> 00:03:18,280
Speaker 3: not putting, you know, my best foot forward, the big

74
00:03:18,360 --> 00:03:20,920
Speaker 3: teammate even though I'm not playing. Sure, it felt you know,

75
00:03:20,960 --> 00:03:23,160
Speaker 3: it was very important to make sure I do that

76
00:03:23,240 --> 00:03:25,160
Speaker 3: no matter what, because I won't want somebody to do

77
00:03:25,200 --> 00:03:27,720
Speaker 3: that with me, if you know, roles were reversed.

78
00:03:27,720 --> 00:03:30,079
Speaker 2: So to me, it was very important.

79
00:03:30,080 --> 00:03:33,400
Speaker 3: And like I said, having that year and how everything

80
00:03:33,440 --> 00:03:36,200
Speaker 3: turned out just made it ten times just better. Even

81
00:03:36,240 --> 00:03:38,440
Speaker 3: this year in its spring, because you can feel the

82
00:03:39,240 --> 00:03:41,640
Speaker 3: energy in the room. You can feel the energy offense,

83
00:03:41,800 --> 00:03:45,760
Speaker 3: like you know, just being in talk talk mess with Tree, talk,

84
00:03:45,840 --> 00:03:48,320
Speaker 3: mess with Mold throughout the day and everything like that.

85
00:03:48,480 --> 00:03:51,120
Speaker 2: It just, you know, it builds it up. Having everybody together.

86
00:03:51,160 --> 00:03:53,480
Speaker 4: I mean, watching you right now in spring, it's almost

87
00:03:53,520 --> 00:03:56,680
Speaker 4: like the ham strings never happened. Based on how well

88
00:03:56,720 --> 00:03:59,040
Speaker 4: you look here in the spring. At what point in

89
00:03:59,040 --> 00:04:01,320
Speaker 4: the off season did you start to feel like your

90
00:04:01,320 --> 00:04:01,840
Speaker 4: old self?

91
00:04:02,160 --> 00:04:03,240
Speaker 2: Honestly, it was right.

92
00:04:03,440 --> 00:04:06,040
Speaker 3: It was the end of the season after I so

93
00:04:06,600 --> 00:04:09,720
Speaker 3: you know, of course, I went to LA during the

94
00:04:09,720 --> 00:04:12,200
Speaker 3: whole montro November to go see especially as out there,

95
00:04:12,320 --> 00:04:15,040
Speaker 3: and once I kind of figured out, okay, what could

96
00:04:15,120 --> 00:04:18,200
Speaker 3: possibly be the problem. Just been working on that the

97
00:04:18,240 --> 00:04:21,279
Speaker 3: whole off season really and then just diving deep into

98
00:04:21,560 --> 00:04:24,760
Speaker 3: you know, finding more more resources for myself to kind

99
00:04:24,760 --> 00:04:27,240
Speaker 3: of be able to take take care of those you know,

100
00:04:27,600 --> 00:04:30,120
Speaker 3: problems a little knicks and everything, so I won't it

101
00:04:30,160 --> 00:04:31,919
Speaker 3: won't get bigger, you know, over.

102
00:04:31,800 --> 00:04:32,840
Speaker 2: Time or anything like that.

103
00:04:32,920 --> 00:04:35,320
Speaker 3: So that's kind of been my focus right now off season,

104
00:04:35,480 --> 00:04:38,039
Speaker 3: just finding more more and more resources and kind of

105
00:04:38,040 --> 00:04:41,839
Speaker 3: creating a big routine that I can do. And pretty

106
00:04:41,880 --> 00:04:43,880
Speaker 3: much right now I found what I needed and then

107
00:04:43,960 --> 00:04:46,160
Speaker 3: I'm just you know, executing it a week, you know,

108
00:04:46,240 --> 00:04:47,640
Speaker 3: week by week or day by day.

109
00:04:47,680 --> 00:04:50,560
Speaker 1: So that's Colts tight end Jelanie Woods with us here.

110
00:04:50,360 --> 00:04:52,839
Speaker 1: There's talk around the league. I'm just a messenger here

111
00:04:53,040 --> 00:04:54,919
Speaker 1: talk around the league about this offense, and they're all

112
00:04:55,000 --> 00:04:57,000
Speaker 1: saying that you are going to be the premiere tight

113
00:04:57,120 --> 00:04:59,520
Speaker 1: end in this offense this year with Anthony Richardson, do

114
00:04:59,560 --> 00:05:01,320
Speaker 1: you have any added pressure you feel to you this

115
00:05:01,360 --> 00:05:02,560
Speaker 1: year coming off an injury year.

116
00:05:02,760 --> 00:05:05,800
Speaker 3: Honestly, No, just to be honest, like I said, I

117
00:05:05,880 --> 00:05:07,920
Speaker 3: missed the year, so I got to prove it. So

118
00:05:08,080 --> 00:05:10,880
Speaker 3: I don't feel any you know, you know, any high

119
00:05:10,960 --> 00:05:14,480
Speaker 3: any I'm just ready to go, honestly, like missing the year,

120
00:05:14,600 --> 00:05:17,200
Speaker 3: seeing all the fun last year and just like man,

121
00:05:17,200 --> 00:05:18,720
Speaker 3: I wish I was on that route right and I

122
00:05:18,760 --> 00:05:21,359
Speaker 3: was like, that's Toestown right there, Like you know, just

123
00:05:21,400 --> 00:05:23,359
Speaker 3: seeing that and kind of feeling that all year, you

124
00:05:23,480 --> 00:05:26,760
Speaker 3: just got so much built up like animosity within that,

125
00:05:26,880 --> 00:05:28,720
Speaker 3: and I'm just ready to show it, honestly, Like I

126
00:05:29,160 --> 00:05:29,839
Speaker 3: just can't wait.

127
00:05:30,080 --> 00:05:32,200
Speaker 5: You're like I've said this, You're a large man.

128
00:05:32,200 --> 00:05:34,960
Speaker 1: Obviously a big target for Anthony Richardson or any cornerback,

129
00:05:35,120 --> 00:05:37,159
Speaker 1: but you really have that wide receiver mindset in you

130
00:05:37,279 --> 00:05:39,479
Speaker 1: coming from a big tight end like that. Have you

131
00:05:39,520 --> 00:05:42,240
Speaker 1: thought about what you want to accomplish individually goal wise?

132
00:05:42,480 --> 00:05:45,000
Speaker 1: Is that eighty catches this year? Is that seven touchdowns

133
00:05:45,000 --> 00:05:46,520
Speaker 1: this year? What does it look like for you what

134
00:05:46,600 --> 00:05:48,640
Speaker 1: you want to put out on the field this year?

135
00:05:49,080 --> 00:05:51,520
Speaker 3: Honestly, I like to take things, you know, a step

136
00:05:51,560 --> 00:05:53,599
Speaker 3: at a time, So right now, just making sure I

137
00:05:53,800 --> 00:05:57,320
Speaker 3: check off my boxes with you know, physically being available

138
00:05:57,560 --> 00:05:59,880
Speaker 3: foot coach, So right now, that's what I've been doing.

139
00:06:00,000 --> 00:06:03,120
Speaker 3: But I would say, like I may even go big

140
00:06:03,240 --> 00:06:05,839
Speaker 3: google home like that. That's just how I am so

141
00:06:06,040 --> 00:06:09,479
Speaker 3: and that's how my dad, my parents well, just to

142
00:06:09,480 --> 00:06:11,440
Speaker 3: shot him out. My dad always told me, you know,

143
00:06:11,480 --> 00:06:14,160
Speaker 3: don't let nobody out do you. So that's one thing

144
00:06:14,279 --> 00:06:16,080
Speaker 3: I make sure, like, you know, do that the season,

145
00:06:16,120 --> 00:06:18,120
Speaker 3: like a I don't want nobody trying to start me

146
00:06:18,400 --> 00:06:20,599
Speaker 3: or anything like that. Like I'm trying to go full

147
00:06:20,680 --> 00:06:21,480
Speaker 3: speed all the time.

148
00:06:21,560 --> 00:06:23,640
Speaker 4: So you know, missing last year? Is that where your

149
00:06:23,680 --> 00:06:26,040
Speaker 4: frustration lie? When you would go back and watch game

150
00:06:26,120 --> 00:06:29,000
Speaker 4: film of the Colts last year and you'd say, man,

151
00:06:29,000 --> 00:06:31,560
Speaker 4: if I ran that play, this is exactly what I

152
00:06:31,600 --> 00:06:34,040
Speaker 4: would do. Like if I was in this situation, that'd

153
00:06:34,040 --> 00:06:36,080
Speaker 4: be a perfect play for me based on the matchup,

154
00:06:36,120 --> 00:06:37,480
Speaker 4: based on the coverage and the.

155
00:06:37,480 --> 00:06:38,919
Speaker 5: Route that I could run, and what I could do

156
00:06:38,960 --> 00:06:39,640
Speaker 5: for this offense.

157
00:06:39,960 --> 00:06:41,520
Speaker 3: Definitely that you know that plays in the back of

158
00:06:41,520 --> 00:06:43,560
Speaker 3: your head regardless no matter if the play work or

159
00:06:43,600 --> 00:06:45,600
Speaker 3: the better to play go bad. You kind of want

160
00:06:45,640 --> 00:06:47,400
Speaker 3: to be in that position to have the team. But

161
00:06:48,360 --> 00:06:50,600
Speaker 3: like I said, mostly I tried to focus on just

162
00:06:51,000 --> 00:06:53,920
Speaker 3: all right, how can I do to you know, keep

163
00:06:53,960 --> 00:06:56,640
Speaker 3: my routine body wise as well, and then I will work.

164
00:06:56,680 --> 00:06:59,520
Speaker 3: I will you know, look forward to everything once I

165
00:06:59,560 --> 00:07:01,360
Speaker 3: get back on the feel and everything like that. So

166
00:07:01,680 --> 00:07:03,920
Speaker 3: but yeah, you kind of, you know, just to be honest,

167
00:07:03,920 --> 00:07:05,160
Speaker 3: you kind of had that in the back of your

168
00:07:05,160 --> 00:07:05,880
Speaker 3: mind all the time.

169
00:07:05,920 --> 00:07:07,920
Speaker 5: So yeah, you kind of already alluded to this a

170
00:07:07,920 --> 00:07:10,440
Speaker 5: little bit. But in what ways do you think you're

171
00:07:10,440 --> 00:07:11,080
Speaker 5: better off?

172
00:07:11,160 --> 00:07:13,400
Speaker 4: Which I know is it's not what you want to

173
00:07:13,440 --> 00:07:15,600
Speaker 4: talk about, but in what ways are you better off

174
00:07:16,040 --> 00:07:18,480
Speaker 4: this year and going forward because of what you had

175
00:07:18,520 --> 00:07:19,560
Speaker 4: to ender last season?

176
00:07:19,880 --> 00:07:24,120
Speaker 3: For me, just mentally, I know what I need to do, honestly,

177
00:07:24,400 --> 00:07:26,560
Speaker 3: and I know when it's a problem. I know it

178
00:07:26,600 --> 00:07:29,320
Speaker 3: off the rip. I know when okay, I need this

179
00:07:29,400 --> 00:07:31,200
Speaker 3: on Friday or I need this on Sunday. Like I

180
00:07:31,200 --> 00:07:33,600
Speaker 3: have that routine now and I feel like that's been

181
00:07:33,680 --> 00:07:37,680
Speaker 3: helping me all OTAs and everything like that. So you know,

182
00:07:37,920 --> 00:07:41,600
Speaker 3: like I said, creating resources on the outside to you know,

183
00:07:41,720 --> 00:07:44,160
Speaker 3: be able to help my body or mentally do this

184
00:07:44,280 --> 00:07:47,640
Speaker 3: or whatever. So just you know, I would say focusing

185
00:07:47,720 --> 00:07:49,400
Speaker 3: on that aspect more than anything.

186
00:07:49,640 --> 00:07:53,840
Speaker 4: Definitely, are you trying to find yourself reacclimating or reintroducing

187
00:07:53,880 --> 00:07:55,040
Speaker 4: yourself to Shane Steichen.

188
00:07:55,360 --> 00:07:56,800
Speaker 5: Here I am. We talked about this.

189
00:07:56,920 --> 00:07:59,160
Speaker 4: You thought you were gonna have me last year obviously

190
00:07:59,200 --> 00:08:00,600
Speaker 4: didn't work out, But here I am.

191
00:08:00,760 --> 00:08:02,760
Speaker 5: You're like an extra draft pick for this really.

192
00:08:02,720 --> 00:08:05,360
Speaker 3: Good point, right, good point of course, Like that's my

193
00:08:05,440 --> 00:08:08,000
Speaker 3: biggest thing, you know, prove it. Yeah, prove it every

194
00:08:08,080 --> 00:08:09,960
Speaker 3: day is wake up, prove it. You know, they was

195
00:08:09,960 --> 00:08:12,520
Speaker 3: talking mass defense and here it was talking mess all

196
00:08:12,600 --> 00:08:15,880
Speaker 3: last year. Oh he and pajamas and this and that

197
00:08:15,960 --> 00:08:17,760
Speaker 3: every day. So I'm just trying to, Like I said,

198
00:08:17,760 --> 00:08:19,560
Speaker 3: I'm just trying to prove it. I got shutting them

199
00:08:19,640 --> 00:08:21,800
Speaker 3: up and I got proved of him. Like, okay, I'm here,

200
00:08:21,840 --> 00:08:23,440
Speaker 3: Like you've definitely done that.

201
00:08:23,520 --> 00:08:25,920
Speaker 1: This spring a big ota period for you in the

202
00:08:25,960 --> 00:08:28,160
Speaker 1: last couple of weeks, and that's going to come obviously

203
00:08:28,200 --> 00:08:30,320
Speaker 1: to fruition next week at the mini camp. Let's go

204
00:08:30,360 --> 00:08:32,640
Speaker 1: away from football a little bit. You were away from football,

205
00:08:32,679 --> 00:08:34,920
Speaker 1: like we talked about for an hour, but relaxing. This

206
00:08:34,960 --> 00:08:37,200
Speaker 1: is a tough game, a violent game, but also it

207
00:08:37,240 --> 00:08:39,720
Speaker 1: consumes you. You know, the NFL, the best league in

208
00:08:39,720 --> 00:08:41,680
Speaker 1: the world is for our sports goals. What do you

209
00:08:41,760 --> 00:08:43,640
Speaker 1: like to do to get away from football to forget

210
00:08:43,679 --> 00:08:44,720
Speaker 1: this game for a minute.

211
00:08:44,760 --> 00:08:46,880
Speaker 2: Well, for the most part, I like to talk to

212
00:08:46,920 --> 00:08:47,439
Speaker 2: my family.

213
00:08:47,800 --> 00:08:50,520
Speaker 3: Like me and my family are very like very close,

214
00:08:50,880 --> 00:08:53,760
Speaker 3: Uh Dad, mom, and I got two little brothers and

215
00:08:53,880 --> 00:08:55,720
Speaker 3: uh we just get on FaceTime and I'll be on

216
00:08:55,760 --> 00:08:58,400
Speaker 3: FaceTime for hours, but we could be talking about any

217
00:08:58,440 --> 00:09:02,080
Speaker 3: and everything. And honestly, for me, that's mentally calming, you know,

218
00:09:02,200 --> 00:09:04,840
Speaker 3: just knowing that I got that big support system behind

219
00:09:04,880 --> 00:09:08,120
Speaker 3: my back. So yeah, for them, that's why I said

220
00:09:08,160 --> 00:09:10,360
Speaker 3: I shot them out for that, because they they did

221
00:09:10,400 --> 00:09:13,040
Speaker 3: a great, awesome job. And I'm I'm glad I have

222
00:09:13,160 --> 00:09:14,080
Speaker 3: the family that I have.

223
00:09:14,240 --> 00:09:15,720
Speaker 5: Okay, let me put a scenario in there.

224
00:09:15,760 --> 00:09:17,520
Speaker 1: The tight end rooms coming over to your place to

225
00:09:17,520 --> 00:09:19,440
Speaker 1: hang out a little bit, and I'm talking about big

226
00:09:19,480 --> 00:09:22,240
Speaker 1: Moalley Cocks. I'm talking about Big Drew Ogletry, Big Will

227
00:09:22,280 --> 00:09:24,920
Speaker 1: Mally grantson yourself and you got to cook for everybody.

228
00:09:25,280 --> 00:09:27,240
Speaker 1: Are you grilling something up for this tight end group?

229
00:09:27,320 --> 00:09:29,400
Speaker 3: I definitely can't. Yeah, I definitely can. You know, we

230
00:09:29,679 --> 00:09:31,440
Speaker 3: throw the grill on the back, in the back, what

231
00:09:31,520 --> 00:09:34,160
Speaker 3: you cooking? I gotta we got we can put the

232
00:09:34,200 --> 00:09:35,920
Speaker 3: grill in the bag. I got a pond in the

233
00:09:35,960 --> 00:09:38,000
Speaker 3: back of the house. So fish, we could definitely, Yes,

234
00:09:38,040 --> 00:09:38,520
Speaker 3: I do fish.

235
00:09:38,559 --> 00:09:39,600
Speaker 5: What are you cooking on that grill?

236
00:09:39,640 --> 00:09:42,280
Speaker 2: Though? On the grill we could throw We can grill chicken.

237
00:09:42,400 --> 00:09:43,240
Speaker 5: Okay, gotta be.

238
00:09:43,280 --> 00:09:46,520
Speaker 3: I gotta gotta gotta add the hamburgers and hot.

239
00:09:46,280 --> 00:09:48,280
Speaker 2: Dogs all beef.

240
00:09:48,720 --> 00:09:50,480
Speaker 3: It might throw the little turkey burgers in there if

241
00:09:50,480 --> 00:09:53,600
Speaker 3: they want it. But for the most part, if we

242
00:09:53,640 --> 00:09:56,160
Speaker 3: want to stay healthy, I lead the ribs off the table.

243
00:09:56,400 --> 00:09:58,439
Speaker 2: We talked about fourth of July. We can throw the

244
00:09:58,559 --> 00:10:00,920
Speaker 2: ribs on there on the favor. Just give me an

245
00:10:00,920 --> 00:10:03,880
Speaker 2: invite if that happened. Hey, I got you.

246
00:10:04,559 --> 00:10:06,679
Speaker 4: Speaking of this tight end room, I mean, you've got

247
00:10:06,720 --> 00:10:09,640
Speaker 4: all these different bodies, all these different skill sets. How

248
00:10:09,679 --> 00:10:13,640
Speaker 4: can the tight end room compliment each other as you

249
00:10:13,679 --> 00:10:16,240
Speaker 4: guys battle that that healthy competition trying to make this

250
00:10:16,280 --> 00:10:17,000
Speaker 4: active roster.

251
00:10:17,360 --> 00:10:20,040
Speaker 3: Really, we all learn from each other, sure, And that's

252
00:10:20,040 --> 00:10:21,960
Speaker 3: the that's the key thing that I feel like we

253
00:10:22,080 --> 00:10:24,920
Speaker 3: built such a big camaraderie throughout the room.

254
00:10:25,520 --> 00:10:26,680
Speaker 2: We all learn from each other.

255
00:10:26,920 --> 00:10:30,080
Speaker 3: Each of us got a very strong attribute that we

256
00:10:30,160 --> 00:10:32,520
Speaker 3: hold and we try to like, Okay, mo, I know

257
00:10:32,520 --> 00:10:34,640
Speaker 3: you good at this, Like can you teach me how

258
00:10:34,679 --> 00:10:37,760
Speaker 3: to do this? Or whatever, and you know, being a

259
00:10:37,840 --> 00:10:40,600
Speaker 3: vet or whatever and just being a friend. Honestly, he's

260
00:10:40,640 --> 00:10:42,680
Speaker 3: willing to teach us and Okay, this is what I

261
00:10:42,720 --> 00:10:46,120
Speaker 3: do in this scenario, Like he let us know. Okay,

262
00:10:46,320 --> 00:10:48,040
Speaker 3: I wouldn't do that if I were you, you know,

263
00:10:48,480 --> 00:10:50,319
Speaker 3: things like that. And then me and Juws like we

264
00:10:50,440 --> 00:10:52,760
Speaker 3: really close, so we do the same thing as well,

265
00:10:52,800 --> 00:10:56,200
Speaker 3: where we're like, okay, like you run this dover, you

266
00:10:56,280 --> 00:10:58,480
Speaker 3: run this, Okay, you run it this way, you go outside.

267
00:10:58,840 --> 00:11:00,920
Speaker 2: I would have went inside. You would win inside.

268
00:11:00,920 --> 00:11:01,160
Speaker 5: Okay.

269
00:11:01,160 --> 00:11:03,599
Speaker 3: I was thinking that, and we kind of had that communication.

270
00:11:03,679 --> 00:11:05,800
Speaker 3: And then with Colin, it's just about speed, like I'm

271
00:11:05,800 --> 00:11:07,720
Speaker 3: gonna beating with speed this and that. It's like, well,

272
00:11:07,760 --> 00:11:09,280
Speaker 3: I'm gonna use this move at the top of my

273
00:11:09,360 --> 00:11:11,520
Speaker 3: rout instead of being with speed. So we have, you know,

274
00:11:11,559 --> 00:11:13,800
Speaker 3: we all had attributes that we hold and we kind

275
00:11:13,840 --> 00:11:15,640
Speaker 3: of like you know, piggyback off of each other and

276
00:11:15,640 --> 00:11:18,440
Speaker 3: try new things, which we're doing right now. Ohta is

277
00:11:18,480 --> 00:11:20,400
Speaker 3: like you was like, you know, I'm doing stuff that

278
00:11:20,440 --> 00:11:23,480
Speaker 3: I normally don't do route running wise, and then everybody

279
00:11:23,520 --> 00:11:25,600
Speaker 3: else is pretty much the same way, and we kind

280
00:11:25,600 --> 00:11:28,199
Speaker 3: of just add into our bag, you know, pretty much blocking.

281
00:11:28,320 --> 00:11:31,480
Speaker 1: Blocking huge part of this tight end physician in the NFL.

282
00:11:31,559 --> 00:11:33,480
Speaker 1: That's part of it. I know, you like to you know,

283
00:11:33,960 --> 00:11:36,440
Speaker 1: eighty yard bombs where you're running past the defender and everything.

284
00:11:36,600 --> 00:11:39,200
Speaker 1: Everybody wants that, but in the true you know, grants

285
00:11:39,240 --> 00:11:41,760
Speaker 1: on this thing. You gotta run the football, you gotta block,

286
00:11:41,840 --> 00:11:43,840
Speaker 1: And how is your blocking As far as where you

287
00:11:43,880 --> 00:11:45,920
Speaker 1: were in year one to where you are right now, I.

288
00:11:45,880 --> 00:11:48,560
Speaker 3: Feel like, like I said, well, I was telling everybody else,

289
00:11:48,600 --> 00:11:50,880
Speaker 3: I feel like I have way more power good, you know,

290
00:11:51,160 --> 00:11:53,200
Speaker 3: just about you know, having a year off, being able

291
00:11:53,200 --> 00:11:56,680
Speaker 3: to work out kind of build you know, isometrically, like

292
00:11:56,840 --> 00:11:59,480
Speaker 3: you know, different muscles and everything that I need, and

293
00:11:59,520 --> 00:12:01,600
Speaker 3: you know, here was working on hips and everything like that.

294
00:12:01,760 --> 00:12:04,680
Speaker 3: You know, hip's a big part of blocking. So while

295
00:12:04,679 --> 00:12:06,560
Speaker 3: I was working on those, I was doing a lot

296
00:12:06,600 --> 00:12:08,120
Speaker 3: of fundamental work as well.

297
00:12:08,240 --> 00:12:09,280
Speaker 2: So I feel like.

298
00:12:09,400 --> 00:12:12,360
Speaker 3: I'm able to get into you know, engagement with my

299
00:12:12,440 --> 00:12:15,719
Speaker 3: blocking and everything like that, which definitely helped me out

300
00:12:15,760 --> 00:12:18,600
Speaker 3: a lot. So that's one priority I did have throughout

301
00:12:18,600 --> 00:12:20,319
Speaker 3: the season because I know how important it is here

302
00:12:20,320 --> 00:12:22,600
Speaker 3: we run the ball really well. So yeah, I'm trying to,

303
00:12:22,800 --> 00:12:24,160
Speaker 3: you know, do whatever you could do to get on

304
00:12:24,160 --> 00:12:27,520
Speaker 3: the field. So so yeah, that was one thing I

305
00:12:27,760 --> 00:12:28,480
Speaker 3: definitely worked on.

306
00:12:28,920 --> 00:12:29,280
Speaker 5: Jilana.

307
00:12:29,320 --> 00:12:31,400
Speaker 4: You're a pros pro, but this is a kid's game,

308
00:12:31,520 --> 00:12:35,800
Speaker 4: and training camp is It's a necessary evil. It's the

309
00:12:35,960 --> 00:12:38,800
Speaker 4: non fun part of being part of the NFL and

310
00:12:38,840 --> 00:12:40,439
Speaker 4: playing in the National Football League.

311
00:12:40,720 --> 00:12:42,160
Speaker 5: But I have to suspect that.

312
00:12:42,320 --> 00:12:44,400
Speaker 4: When when guys get to training camp and when you
