Speaker 3: Is it in the patio or on the patio?

46
00:02:51,680 --> 00:02:53,880
Speaker 3: trying to say. And to all of you who are

47
00:02:54,680 --> 00:02:59,919
Speaker 3: watching whenever and wherever streaming on dallascowboys dot com, Hi,

48
00:03:00,360 --> 00:03:04,320
Speaker 3: nice to see you, Thanks very much. So Hunter Lipke

49
00:03:05,280 --> 00:03:09,799
Speaker 3: is a Swiss army knife is the best, I think

50
00:03:09,840 --> 00:03:11,280
Speaker 3: the best way to put it. You could say as

51
00:03:11,320 --> 00:03:15,040
Speaker 3: a fullback, but that would really just be cutting so

52
00:03:15,320 --> 00:03:17,320
Speaker 3: short all the things you do, wouldn't it.

53
00:03:17,919 --> 00:03:20,760
Speaker 5: Yeah, I think, especially this year, just being able to

54
00:03:21,680 --> 00:03:23,919
Speaker 5: expand my role with the offense. You know, I'm taking

55
00:03:24,000 --> 00:03:26,800
Speaker 5: third down snaps, two minute snaps, a couple of snaps

56
00:03:26,800 --> 00:03:29,520
Speaker 5: here and there at tight end two So I'm just

57
00:03:29,560 --> 00:03:32,480
Speaker 5: trying to be, you know, as versatile as I can

58
00:03:33,200 --> 00:03:34,480
Speaker 5: on Sundays.

59
00:03:34,480 --> 00:03:39,400
Speaker 3: So when when they signed you rookie free agent, did

60
00:03:39,400 --> 00:03:42,680
Speaker 3: they say, now, Mike McCarthy And we'll get into this,

61
00:03:42,720 --> 00:03:45,480
Speaker 3: but Mike had a vision for what he wanted you

62
00:03:45,560 --> 00:03:49,760
Speaker 3: to do, because he's had guys who had a somewhat

63
00:03:49,760 --> 00:03:53,839
Speaker 3: similar versatile bag of tricks in especially in his years

64
00:03:53,840 --> 00:03:57,360
Speaker 3: in Green Bay. But did he specify to you when

65
00:03:57,360 --> 00:04:00,400
Speaker 3: the Cowboys signed you last year? This is what we

66
00:04:00,440 --> 00:04:00,720
Speaker 3: have in.

67
00:04:00,640 --> 00:04:03,320
Speaker 5: Mind for you. Yeah, I think, you know, just with

68
00:04:03,360 --> 00:04:06,400
Speaker 5: all the conversations I had with them throughout the draft

69
00:04:06,440 --> 00:04:10,040
Speaker 5: process and coach Blasco, they had a clear cut plan.

70
00:04:11,000 --> 00:04:12,760
Speaker 5: They knew they wanted to use me as a fullback.

71
00:04:12,800 --> 00:04:15,960
Speaker 5: They mentioned stuff about running back too, and then I

72
00:04:16,000 --> 00:04:18,719
Speaker 5: think after after last year, they kind of, you know,

73
00:04:18,800 --> 00:04:20,640
Speaker 5: talk to me a little bit more about tight end

74
00:04:20,640 --> 00:04:24,839
Speaker 5: stuff too. So yeah, that's kind of been their vision

75
00:04:24,880 --> 00:04:26,599
Speaker 5: ever since. You know, they've been talking to me in

76
00:04:26,600 --> 00:04:28,520
Speaker 5: the beginning, So go ahead.

77
00:04:28,680 --> 00:04:31,919
Speaker 6: How much pride do you take in yourself being so

78
00:04:32,120 --> 00:04:33,480
Speaker 6: valuable and so versatile?

79
00:04:33,880 --> 00:04:35,560
Speaker 5: Yeah, I think you kind of have to at the

80
00:04:35,560 --> 00:04:38,560
Speaker 5: full back position. I mean, it's a I wouldn't say

81
00:04:38,600 --> 00:04:42,039
Speaker 5: it's dying out, but you know that you see less

82
00:04:42,040 --> 00:04:43,800
Speaker 5: and less every year, so you got to you gotta

83
00:04:43,800 --> 00:04:46,400
Speaker 5: make up ways to get up on the get out

84
00:04:46,400 --> 00:04:48,719
Speaker 5: on the field, and you got to be as versatile

85
00:04:48,800 --> 00:04:50,600
Speaker 5: whether it's offense or special team.

86
00:04:50,760 --> 00:04:57,360
Speaker 3: So I remember got brief conversation with you earlier this year,

87
00:04:57,839 --> 00:04:59,800
Speaker 3: and I was really tickled by because I was asking

88
00:05:00,320 --> 00:05:03,000
Speaker 3: Hunter about, Okay, you gotta do things on special teams.

89
00:05:03,040 --> 00:05:06,280
Speaker 3: Now that's tight end tailback, which is what you were

90
00:05:07,279 --> 00:05:11,200
Speaker 3: in school. Now you're a fullback, and isn't it hard

91
00:05:12,040 --> 00:05:14,960
Speaker 3: to move from one thing to another and learn all

92
00:05:15,000 --> 00:05:17,800
Speaker 3: that stuff? And I was really tickled because you were

93
00:05:17,800 --> 00:05:21,479
Speaker 3: so earnest. You said, no, that's fun. It's football's fun, right,

94
00:05:21,760 --> 00:05:22,720
Speaker 3: Is that your attitude?

95
00:05:22,800 --> 00:05:25,239
Speaker 5: Yeah? I mean you're you're always learning in this game,

96
00:05:25,320 --> 00:05:27,440
Speaker 5: and I think that's the that's the fun part about

97
00:05:27,520 --> 00:05:30,760
Speaker 5: you know, football in the NFL, And I mean you're

98
00:05:30,760 --> 00:05:33,599
Speaker 5: always learning, You're always trying to get better. The more

99
00:05:33,680 --> 00:05:36,040
Speaker 5: you know, the better you play, the better, the more

100
00:05:36,040 --> 00:05:38,840
Speaker 5: confident you are. So I mean, I just I try

101
00:05:38,839 --> 00:05:40,800
Speaker 5: to learn as much as I can, and you know,

102
00:05:40,880 --> 00:05:43,279
Speaker 5: talk to that's whenever I can to get their knowledge too.

103
00:05:43,440 --> 00:05:45,600
Speaker 6: So how much throughout the week do you split your

104
00:05:45,640 --> 00:05:47,839
Speaker 6: time with like the tight end room and the running

105
00:05:47,839 --> 00:05:48,240
Speaker 6: backs room?

106
00:05:48,279 --> 00:05:49,240
Speaker 4: How do they split that up?

107
00:05:49,440 --> 00:05:53,680
Speaker 5: Yeah, So I spend most of my time on Wednesdays

108
00:05:53,720 --> 00:05:56,039
Speaker 5: with the with the tight ends, just going over some

109
00:05:56,080 --> 00:05:58,520
Speaker 5: of the stuff I have with them, and then the

110
00:05:58,560 --> 00:06:01,800
Speaker 5: rest of the weekend with the running backs. Coach blasco

111
00:06:01,880 --> 00:06:04,680
Speaker 5: does a good job incorporating fullback stuff in those meetings,

112
00:06:04,720 --> 00:06:07,240
Speaker 5: and then all the protection stuff that I'll have that

113
00:06:07,320 --> 00:06:08,920
Speaker 5: week and everything like that.

114
00:06:09,000 --> 00:06:12,280
Speaker 3: So, so football is fun. That's your right, that's your

115
00:06:12,640 --> 00:06:15,800
Speaker 3: If we look for a motto for you, that was

116
00:06:15,800 --> 00:06:19,400
Speaker 3: looked pretty close to it. Yeah, So what how much

117
00:06:19,400 --> 00:06:21,760
Speaker 3: fun was it last night? Yeah?

118
00:06:21,760 --> 00:06:24,320
Speaker 5: I mean I thought, I thought we played, you know,

119
00:06:24,800 --> 00:06:26,960
Speaker 5: a pretty pretty good game throughout. I mean, there were

120
00:06:27,000 --> 00:06:28,800
Speaker 5: a couple of plays I mean, we wish we all

121
00:06:28,800 --> 00:06:32,000
Speaker 5: would have had back obviously, but I thought, you know,

122
00:06:32,080 --> 00:06:34,479
Speaker 5: offense did a really good job running the ball, and

123
00:06:34,480 --> 00:06:36,200
Speaker 5: we were efficient in the past game as well, and

124
00:06:36,279 --> 00:06:39,000
Speaker 5: the defense you know, did a really good job, you know,

125
00:06:39,200 --> 00:06:42,640
Speaker 5: throughout the game holding a really high scoring offense to

126
00:06:42,880 --> 00:06:44,799
Speaker 5: you know, only twenty seven points.

127
00:06:44,800 --> 00:06:46,880
Speaker 4: So you're sorry.

128
00:06:47,040 --> 00:06:49,599
Speaker 6: You were real confident since week four, since the beginning

129
00:06:49,600 --> 00:06:52,480
Speaker 6: of the season of where this running game could go

130
00:06:52,720 --> 00:06:55,920
Speaker 6: and seeing it kind of now find its identity. You're

131
00:06:55,920 --> 00:06:58,159
Speaker 6: seeing a guy like Rico dad will have career days.

132
00:06:59,120 --> 00:07:00,359
Speaker 6: Just how good does that feel?

133
00:07:00,520 --> 00:07:02,719
Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean it's awesome, you know, seeing Rico have

134
00:07:02,800 --> 00:07:05,680
Speaker 5: the success that he's been having is you know, great

135
00:07:05,680 --> 00:07:09,600
Speaker 5: to see. I mean, I love that guy, really really

136
00:07:09,600 --> 00:07:11,760
Speaker 5: good leader in the running back room along with Zeke

137
00:07:11,840 --> 00:07:14,480
Speaker 5: and you know, Delvin and you know, everybody in that

138
00:07:14,560 --> 00:07:17,360
Speaker 5: room is just always trying to, you know, make each

139
00:07:17,400 --> 00:07:19,640
Speaker 5: other great, and you know that's great to see. But

140
00:07:20,480 --> 00:07:23,640
Speaker 5: you know, I'm really excited with where this running game

141
00:07:23,680 --> 00:07:25,600
Speaker 5: has been going these last couple of weeks. I mean,

142
00:07:25,720 --> 00:07:28,600
Speaker 5: I know we struggled earlier in the season, but yeah,

143
00:07:28,600 --> 00:07:31,120
Speaker 5: it's just really awesome to see, like the running back

144
00:07:31,160 --> 00:07:33,720
Speaker 5: get going or the running game get going. How do

145
00:07:33,800 --> 00:07:37,520
Speaker 5: those guys push you, you know, just with protection stuff.

146
00:07:38,480 --> 00:07:42,360
Speaker 5: You know, they try to help me on what they

147
00:07:42,440 --> 00:07:45,560
Speaker 5: see as far as some of the blocking schemes, how

148
00:07:45,600 --> 00:07:47,800
Speaker 5: they work, what's going on in their minds when they're

149
00:07:47,840 --> 00:07:51,480
Speaker 5: running the ball. If I'm in there, just how to

150
00:07:51,800 --> 00:07:57,080
Speaker 5: attack leverages with my blocks depending on where the zone

151
00:07:57,120 --> 00:07:59,360
Speaker 5: scheme is going or something like that. So they've been

152
00:07:59,360 --> 00:08:00,360
Speaker 5: really helpful that.

153
00:08:01,080 --> 00:08:06,280
Speaker 3: When last week was it only last week Chauncey Golston

154
00:08:06,400 --> 00:08:10,560
Speaker 3: was here and we talked about the improvement in the deed.

155
00:08:10,880 --> 00:08:15,200
Speaker 3: Clearly getting some people back healthy helped, but also the

156
00:08:15,240 --> 00:08:20,560
Speaker 3: defense has been playing better, and he had really interesting

157
00:08:20,640 --> 00:08:24,080
Speaker 3: and very clear thoughts about sometimes it just takes time

158
00:08:24,200 --> 00:08:27,400
Speaker 3: to you know, learn the new language. And obviously they're

159
00:08:27,400 --> 00:08:30,000
Speaker 3: in a whole new system with a new coordinator. But

160
00:08:30,120 --> 00:08:33,000
Speaker 3: I would also say that it looks like, in along

161
00:08:33,080 --> 00:08:35,240
Speaker 3: the lines of what Nicole's talking about, and you're discussing

162
00:08:35,240 --> 00:08:38,120
Speaker 3: with the running game and not exclusively the running game,

163
00:08:38,160 --> 00:08:40,959
Speaker 3: it just seems like the offense is a little smoother,

164
00:08:41,080 --> 00:08:42,599
Speaker 3: a little more of what you wanted to be the

165
00:08:42,679 --> 00:08:45,200
Speaker 3: last few weeks. Do you have an explanation for that.

166
00:08:46,200 --> 00:08:49,360
Speaker 5: I think we kind of just, you know, kind of

167
00:08:49,360 --> 00:08:51,520
Speaker 5: all looked in the mirror. We knew what we had

168
00:08:51,559 --> 00:08:55,480
Speaker 5: to do, and we weren't executing at the best level

169
00:08:55,480 --> 00:08:58,520
Speaker 5: in the beginning of the season, and you know, we

170
00:08:58,640 --> 00:09:00,600
Speaker 5: just looked at that, We looked at our film, and

171
00:09:01,280 --> 00:09:05,080
Speaker 5: you know, we took we took pride in the walkthroughs

172
00:09:05,080 --> 00:09:09,200
Speaker 5: and the practices and just pushing ourselves there. We've incorporated

173
00:09:09,240 --> 00:09:13,320
Speaker 5: new meetings where like the running backs, the old linemen,

174
00:09:13,400 --> 00:09:16,160
Speaker 5: and the tight ends are all just sitting in the meeting,

175
00:09:16,280 --> 00:09:18,840
Speaker 5: just the players and we're talking through schemes and plays

176
00:09:18,920 --> 00:09:21,160
Speaker 5: and stuff to you know, what is the running back

177
00:09:21,200 --> 00:09:24,600
Speaker 5: seeing how are the linemen trying to fit this zone combination? So,

178
00:09:24,679 --> 00:09:27,880
Speaker 5: I mean, I think that's all contributed a lot to

179
00:09:28,040 --> 00:09:30,760
Speaker 5: like the mesh that we've been gaining these last couple

180
00:09:30,800 --> 00:09:31,199
Speaker 5: of weeks.

181
00:09:31,280 --> 00:09:34,760
Speaker 4: Who led the way for those meetings meetings.

182
00:09:34,800 --> 00:09:37,880
Speaker 5: Sorry, so for the running back tight end meetings. The

183
00:09:37,880 --> 00:09:40,800
Speaker 5: first couple of weeks it was Zach Martin. Then now

184
00:09:40,800 --> 00:09:42,360
Speaker 5: it's been a big black Hoffman.

185
00:09:42,520 --> 00:09:45,080
Speaker 3: So yeah, he seems to me like he get everybody

186
00:09:45,080 --> 00:09:45,480
Speaker 3: fired up.

187
00:09:45,840 --> 00:09:48,120
Speaker 5: Oh yeah, yeah, he's got some juice to him.

188
00:09:48,160 --> 00:09:54,200
Speaker 3: What how normally a night game, night home game. You've

189
00:09:54,200 --> 00:09:58,079
Speaker 3: got a beautiful little baby who I'm sure was up

190
00:09:58,120 --> 00:10:01,719
Speaker 3: when you got home last night, making you forget that

191
00:10:01,480 --> 00:10:05,800
Speaker 3: the game had a result. How long does it take

192
00:10:05,800 --> 00:10:09,040
Speaker 3: you to get to sleep after a game, regardless of

193
00:10:09,040 --> 00:10:09,440
Speaker 3: the result.

194
00:10:09,760 --> 00:10:13,000
Speaker 5: That's tough. I think last night we.

195
00:10:13,040 --> 00:10:14,960
Speaker 3: Keep in mind your wife is there, I can ask her,

196
00:10:15,360 --> 00:10:17,319
Speaker 3: you can verify all of this with her.

197
00:10:17,800 --> 00:10:20,480
Speaker 5: I think we got home around twelve fifteen last night,

198
00:10:20,600 --> 00:10:23,520
Speaker 5: and I probably went to bed our ound one.

199
00:10:24,000 --> 00:10:26,760
Speaker 3: Really yeah, well, it must be great to be young.

200
00:10:26,880 --> 00:10:30,560
Speaker 3: I can't remember, but holy cow, So does a difficult

201
00:10:30,559 --> 00:10:33,040
Speaker 3: game like that keep you up anymore? Is it harder

202
00:10:33,080 --> 00:10:34,480
Speaker 3: to digest today?

203
00:10:35,480 --> 00:10:38,559
Speaker 5: I think it. Whenever you lose a game, it's pretty

204
00:10:38,600 --> 00:10:43,480
Speaker 5: hard to digest. Kind of sit up and think of

205
00:10:43,640 --> 00:10:46,040
Speaker 5: what you could have done better. You watch the film,

206
00:10:46,520 --> 00:10:50,600
Speaker 5: you kind of critique yourself, But I mean the biggest

207
00:10:50,640 --> 00:10:52,720
Speaker 5: thing I've learned from talking with you know some of

208
00:10:52,720 --> 00:10:56,400
Speaker 5: the vets is you got to move on. We are

209
00:10:56,559 --> 00:10:58,719
Speaker 5: we have a game next week, we start a new

210
00:10:58,760 --> 00:11:03,760
Speaker 5: game planning tomorrow, borrow watching film on the panthers. I

211
00:11:03,800 --> 00:11:06,800
Speaker 5: was watching film on panthers today. So you just got

212
00:11:06,800 --> 00:11:09,000
Speaker 5: to move on. That's that's the business.

213
00:11:09,400 --> 00:11:12,480
Speaker 3: How many days of the week did North Dakota State

214
00:11:12,559 --> 00:11:15,719
Speaker 3: play on We're all your games on Saturdays?

215
00:11:16,080 --> 00:11:18,319
Speaker 5: Yeah, all of them on Saturdays, except for maybe one

216
00:11:18,400 --> 00:11:19,199
Speaker 5: or two playoff games.

217
00:11:19,280 --> 00:11:22,760
Speaker 3: Yeah, the playoff games. Yeah, yeah, so you're not. You

218
00:11:22,800 --> 00:11:26,120
Speaker 3: weren't in school playing on it Monday and a Thursday

219
00:11:26,200 --> 00:11:30,120
Speaker 3: and no, no, and so so this is you had

220
00:11:30,160 --> 00:11:31,720
Speaker 3: to learn how to do this, didn't you like it?

221
00:11:31,920 --> 00:11:34,920
Speaker 3: Tell your body it's not as tired as and sore

222
00:11:34,960 --> 00:11:38,959
Speaker 3: as it feels, and also learn how to study everything

223
00:11:39,120 --> 00:11:40,800
Speaker 3: with one or two fewer days.

224
00:11:41,200 --> 00:11:43,520
Speaker 5: Yeah. I mean, I think as far as like your

225
00:11:43,559 --> 00:11:47,680
Speaker 5: body goes, I last year I looked a lot at

226
00:11:47,720 --> 00:11:50,840
Speaker 5: like guys like Brandon Cook and Zach Martin, guys who

227
00:11:51,320 --> 00:11:53,600
Speaker 5: you know, have been doing this for a long time,

228
00:11:53,720 --> 00:11:56,920
Speaker 5: who know their process and know what it takes to

229
00:11:57,679 --> 00:12:00,160
Speaker 5: go from a Sunday night game to a Thursday day

230
00:12:00,280 --> 00:12:04,080
Speaker 5: night game like they the way they operate was something

231
00:12:04,120 --> 00:12:06,400
Speaker 5: that I really studied last year and I've taken into

232
00:12:06,480 --> 00:12:08,880
Speaker 5: effect myself this year, which I think is really helped.

233
00:12:09,040 --> 00:12:13,960
Speaker 5: And you know, as far as uh studying play play wise,

234
00:12:14,040 --> 00:12:16,079
Speaker 5: I mean, it's just a little extra studying at night.

235
00:12:17,400 --> 00:12:19,920
Speaker 5: It's nothing that you know. I don't try to make

236
00:12:19,960 --> 00:12:21,719
Speaker 5: it too big of a deal. I just try to

237
00:12:21,800 --> 00:12:24,280
Speaker 5: keep as normal of a process as I usually do

238
00:12:24,480 --> 00:12:27,160
Speaker 5: on any other week. But yeah, how do.

239
00:12:27,120 --> 00:12:29,839
Speaker 6: You move on mentally after a tough loss like that?

240
00:12:30,000 --> 00:12:31,239
Speaker 6: For the quick turnaround?

241
00:12:32,000 --> 00:12:35,240
Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean I think, you know, being being getting

242
00:12:35,280 --> 00:12:37,479
Speaker 5: home and seeing the little one of my wife every

243
00:12:37,559 --> 00:12:40,040
Speaker 5: every day, I mean that's kind of a switch for

244
00:12:40,120 --> 00:12:43,360
Speaker 5: me to uh, you know, kind of you know, just

245
00:12:43,440 --> 00:12:46,200
Speaker 5: move on. I get to be present with them, and

246
00:12:46,240 --> 00:12:52,560
Speaker 5: then the next day I'm in the office. So yeah.

247
00:12:52,640 --> 00:12:54,240
Speaker 3: Yeah. The great thing is she doesn't care.

248
00:12:54,600 --> 00:12:55,360
Speaker 5: No, she doesn't care.

249
00:12:55,559 --> 00:12:58,880
Speaker 3: And or the dog, they don't care. They don't even

250
00:12:58,960 --> 00:13:01,560
Speaker 3: know you play exactly. Uh, They're just glad you're home.

251
00:13:01,640 --> 00:13:07,840

Speaker 3: I Hunter won't be here where. I gotta ask Hunter

272
00:17:13,680 --> 00:17:21,240
Speaker 3: to do this two weeks in a row. So listening

273
00:17:21,280 --> 00:17:25,359
Speaker 3: to you just a few minutes ago you are, and

274
00:17:25,440 --> 00:17:27,399
Speaker 3: I alluded to this getting to the break.

275
00:17:27,440 --> 00:17:28,000
Speaker 5: You're so.

276
00:17:29,800 --> 00:17:38,080
Speaker 3: Low key, you're so even keeled, so calm, and then

277
00:17:38,200 --> 00:17:40,679
Speaker 3: when we watch you play, that's not that guy. And

278
00:17:40,720 --> 00:17:43,640
Speaker 3: you couldn't be completely that guy. Do you flip a switch?

279
00:17:44,359 --> 00:17:46,480
Speaker 3: What do you think your personality is on the field?

280
00:17:47,119 --> 00:17:50,159
Speaker 5: I think you think you know. I try to be

281
00:17:50,200 --> 00:17:53,920
Speaker 5: as even keol as possible, you know, just inside the facility.

282
00:17:53,960 --> 00:17:55,679
Speaker 5: I try to be as professional as I can be.

283
00:17:56,920 --> 00:17:59,600
Speaker 5: But then you know, once you get in between those

284
00:17:59,600 --> 00:18:01,800
Speaker 5: white lines, I mean you have to flip a switch.

285
00:18:02,040 --> 00:18:04,440
Speaker 5: I mean you have to. You have to be as

286
00:18:04,480 --> 00:18:07,760
Speaker 5: physical and as you know, professional at the same time

287
00:18:07,800 --> 00:18:10,119
Speaker 5: as possible, but you have to have a little grit

288
00:18:09,960 --> 00:18:12,560
Speaker 5: out there on the field. So as soon as as

289
00:18:12,600 --> 00:18:14,600
Speaker 5: soon as I strap that helmet up, put my mouth

290
00:18:14,640 --> 00:18:16,880
Speaker 5: guard in and step over that white line, I mean,

291
00:18:16,880 --> 00:18:17,520
Speaker 5: it's go time.

292
00:18:17,600 --> 00:18:19,560
Speaker 3: So so you're not talking much trash?

293
00:18:19,960 --> 00:18:23,080
Speaker 5: No, No, I don't. I don't talk trash. I like

294
00:18:23,440 --> 00:18:26,880
Speaker 5: I like to Yeah, I like to let the play

295
00:18:26,920 --> 00:18:27,440
Speaker 5: do the talking.

296
00:18:27,560 --> 00:18:31,960
Speaker 3: Like you said, yeah, have you? Has that always been

297
00:18:32,000 --> 00:18:34,879
Speaker 3: your demeanor when you when you're playing football, just a

298
00:18:34,920 --> 00:18:36,960
Speaker 3: little different than off the field.

299
00:18:37,320 --> 00:18:39,360
Speaker 5: Ever since, ever since high school. I mean, I haven't

300
00:18:39,400 --> 00:18:42,879
Speaker 5: been a really big trash talker. I've always kind of

301
00:18:42,880 --> 00:18:44,359
Speaker 5: been an even keel kind of guy.

302
00:18:44,520 --> 00:18:47,840
Speaker 6: So is that something that you say in high school?

303
00:18:47,840 --> 00:18:50,119
Speaker 6: But is that something that you kind of, uh, was

304
00:18:50,240 --> 00:18:51,840
Speaker 6: taught before high school?

305
00:18:51,920 --> 00:18:52,520
Speaker 4: Maybe or no.

306
00:18:53,200 --> 00:18:55,200
Speaker 5: I think that's kind of like how I was, how

307
00:18:55,240 --> 00:18:58,199
Speaker 5: I was brought up, just trying to you know, not

308
00:18:58,359 --> 00:19:02,320
Speaker 5: be someone with a really you know, really high ego,

309
00:19:03,080 --> 00:19:05,560
Speaker 5: just kind of be be humble and you know, just

310
00:19:05,800 --> 00:19:08,240
Speaker 5: put your nose down and get the job done, kind

311
00:19:08,240 --> 00:19:10,320
Speaker 5: of kind of work athlete. And then you know, I

312
00:19:10,359 --> 00:19:15,240
Speaker 5: read a couple of David Goggins books in college, which

313
00:19:15,280 --> 00:19:17,840
Speaker 5: is kind of his His mindset too, is just you know,

314
00:19:17,920 --> 00:19:20,239
Speaker 5: shut up and get the get the job done. So,

315
00:19:20,320 --> 00:19:22,600
Speaker 5: I mean a lot of that stuff is just how

316
00:19:22,720 --> 00:19:23,959
Speaker 5: how I'm wired, I guess.

317
00:19:24,200 --> 00:19:27,000
Speaker 3: So we're talking about now this is a this is

318
00:19:27,200 --> 00:19:31,880
Speaker 3: very much a Midwestern Wisconsin, which is where you're from.

319
00:19:32,520 --> 00:19:38,880
Speaker 3: Uh mentality and approach. So many guys I've known, especially

320
00:19:38,960 --> 00:19:41,399
Speaker 3: from Wisconsin, from the state of Wisconsin, it seems to me,

321
00:19:41,480 --> 00:19:44,600
Speaker 3: let's just salt of the earth, do your job, keep

322
00:19:44,640 --> 00:19:46,680
Speaker 3: your head. That doesn't mean you don't have a good time,

323
00:19:47,400 --> 00:19:53,880
Speaker 3: but yeah, So let's talk about your high school career, Spencer.

324
00:19:54,000 --> 00:19:55,520
Speaker 3: Is that right? Spencer? High School?

325
00:19:55,600 --> 00:19:56,000
Speaker 5: Spencer?

326
00:19:56,440 --> 00:20:00,200
Speaker 3: So did you have to c Was it a small school? Yeah,

327
00:20:00,320 --> 00:20:00,920
Speaker 3: Saball Town.

328
00:20:01,200 --> 00:20:04,320
Speaker 5: Yeah, we had I think nineteen hundred people in town

329
00:20:04,440 --> 00:20:07,560
Speaker 5: and then I graduated with a class of fifty two.

330
00:20:08,200 --> 00:20:09,200
Speaker 5: Fifty two folks.

331
00:20:09,840 --> 00:20:11,479
Speaker 3: You know, everybody knows everybody.

332
00:20:11,520 --> 00:20:12,520
Speaker 5: Everybody knows everybody.

333
00:20:12,560 --> 00:20:14,880
Speaker 3: So you're tell me if I've been right about this year.

334
00:20:15,400 --> 00:20:19,240
Speaker 3: High school actually had to combine with another high school

335
00:20:19,840 --> 00:20:21,680
Speaker 3: to have athletic teams.

336
00:20:21,400 --> 00:20:26,080
Speaker 5: Right, Yeah, so we combined with Catholic School in Marshfille, Wisconsin,

337
00:20:26,080 --> 00:20:28,919
Speaker 5: which was like ten minutes away, and I think my

338
00:20:29,080 --> 00:20:32,919
Speaker 5: senior year we had twenty four kids total on the

339
00:20:32,920 --> 00:20:38,040
Speaker 5: football team, so everybody played both ways. Some guys who

340
00:20:38,080 --> 00:20:42,159
Speaker 5: played varsity also played JV. So I mean, yeah, it

341
00:20:42,240 --> 00:20:43,200
Speaker 5: was it was a lot of fun.

342
00:20:43,880 --> 00:20:49,000
Speaker 3: How did that inform your approach to what you have

343
00:20:49,119 --> 00:20:54,640
Speaker 3: done since that that? You know, small group, everybody does everything.

344
00:20:55,160 --> 00:20:58,040
Speaker 3: You know, it's just a little different than than what

345
00:20:58,119 --> 00:20:59,040
Speaker 3: some guys grow up with.

346
00:20:59,240 --> 00:21:02,720
Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean I think it really you find out

347
00:21:02,720 --> 00:21:05,840
Speaker 5: who really loves football and who doesn't. I mean, you're

348
00:21:06,359 --> 00:21:09,480
Speaker 5: I was playing probably about fifty or sixty snaps a game,

349
00:21:09,920 --> 00:21:14,200
Speaker 5: probably more playing offense defense. I was a returner in

350
00:21:14,280 --> 00:21:18,760
Speaker 5: high school. I kicked or kicked, you kicked, tried to

351
00:21:18,880 --> 00:21:22,320
Speaker 5: kick as hold on, It's probably like one for twenty

352
00:21:22,359 --> 00:21:23,840
Speaker 5: on field goals my senior year.

353
00:21:24,119 --> 00:21:25,560
Speaker 3: Does coach Fossil know this?

354
00:21:26,440 --> 00:21:28,159
Speaker 5: I don't know if he knows that? Are you and

355
00:21:28,240 --> 00:21:28,600
Speaker 5: the line?

356
00:21:29,000 --> 00:21:31,640
Speaker 3: I'm all you know. We get these depth charts every week.

357
00:21:31,640 --> 00:21:34,280
Speaker 3: I'm digressing now for a minute. We get these charts,

358
00:21:34,280 --> 00:21:36,760
Speaker 3: these three deeps, and you can look and you can

359
00:21:36,800 --> 00:21:39,160
Speaker 3: see who's listed as the left guard and the backup

360
00:21:39,240 --> 00:21:42,160
Speaker 3: left guard, but no one will tell you, and sometimes

361
00:21:42,160 --> 00:21:45,280
Speaker 3: it's guarded as a dead gum state secret. Who's the

362
00:21:45,320 --> 00:21:49,840
Speaker 3: backup holder, and who's the backup kicker, and who's the

363
00:21:49,880 --> 00:21:52,760
Speaker 3: backup punter? Are you any of those people?

364
00:21:53,320 --> 00:21:55,520
Speaker 5: I don't think they'd want me a backup kicker upon her,

365
00:21:55,600 --> 00:22:00,280
Speaker 5: but holder I could hold it bones if bones tell me,

366
00:22:00,560 --> 00:22:02,600
Speaker 5: I'll do the job. Have you ever done it? I

367
00:22:02,800 --> 00:22:05,200
Speaker 5: have not done it? Actually, I really practice.

368
00:22:05,280 --> 00:22:07,960
Speaker 3: I want you to have a conversation with my broadcast partner,

369
00:22:08,000 --> 00:22:11,439
Speaker 3: Babel Offenberg, who I know loves talking to you because Babe,

370
00:22:11,440 --> 00:22:15,000
Speaker 3: when he played in the NFL was an outstanding holder.

371
00:22:15,760 --> 00:22:19,879
Speaker 3: And he's got a great story about he was playing

372
00:22:19,880 --> 00:22:21,920
Speaker 3: in a big college All Star game, went to Indiana,

373
00:22:22,560 --> 00:22:25,359
Speaker 3: played in a big college All Star game and never

374
00:22:25,440 --> 00:22:31,359
Speaker 3: held until the All Star Game. And you would enjoy

375
00:22:31,400 --> 00:22:34,360
Speaker 3: talking to each other about learning how to do that. Now,

376
00:22:34,400 --> 00:22:36,440
Speaker 3: didn't hear anything about long snapping in there.

377
00:22:37,480 --> 00:22:39,920
Speaker 5: I tried long snapping and that didn't go very well

378
00:22:40,280 --> 00:22:40,920
Speaker 5: at all either.

379
00:22:41,040 --> 00:22:43,359
Speaker 3: So all right, So if anything happens to any of

380
00:22:43,359 --> 00:22:46,000
Speaker 3: the three, guys, were not necessarily looking for you to

381
00:22:46,119 --> 00:22:50,680
Speaker 3: step in. No, okay, I want to know more about

382
00:22:51,480 --> 00:22:57,000
Speaker 3: the experience of playing. So was a small classification in

383
00:22:57,040 --> 00:22:58,040
Speaker 3: Wisconsin high.

384
00:22:57,880 --> 00:23:00,760
Speaker 5: School we were a Division five goes from one to

385
00:23:00,800 --> 00:23:04,639
Speaker 5: seven in Wisconsin. One is the biggest, one is the biggest,

386
00:23:05,119 --> 00:23:06,120
Speaker 5: seven is the smallest.

387
00:23:06,160 --> 00:23:06,480
Speaker 3: Okay.

388
00:23:06,560 --> 00:23:07,280
Speaker 1: And so.

389
00:23:09,160 --> 00:23:11,120
Speaker 3: What was that like when you as you got out

390
00:23:11,160 --> 00:23:14,480
Speaker 3: and you know, we're teammates with guys and certainly now

391
00:23:14,520 --> 00:23:16,560
Speaker 3: our teammates with guys who went to big schools. And

392
00:23:17,000 --> 00:23:18,080
Speaker 3: do you think it was any different?

393
00:23:19,119 --> 00:23:22,560
Speaker 5: I don't think it was a whole lot different. I mean,

394
00:23:24,080 --> 00:23:29,240
Speaker 5: you play against you know, maybe smaller competition. I think

395
00:23:29,280 --> 00:23:31,960
Speaker 5: it's all still really competitive. It's about how you push

396
00:23:31,960 --> 00:23:34,160
Speaker 5: yourself in high school, I think is the big thing.

397
00:23:34,280 --> 00:23:38,119
Speaker 5: It's how how determined you are and how motivated you

398
00:23:38,200 --> 00:23:42,000
Speaker 5: are to reach your goals. I mean I've had my goal.

399
00:23:43,040 --> 00:23:45,520
Speaker 5: I had my goal to reach the NFL ever since

400
00:23:45,560 --> 00:23:46,919
Speaker 5: I was in middle school.

401
00:23:47,080 --> 00:23:51,080
Speaker 3: So in middle school. Yeah, and how many kids in

402
00:23:51,119 --> 00:23:56,280
Speaker 3: your middle school? It's probably your wife is grinning over there.

403
00:23:56,320 --> 00:23:58,280
Speaker 3: There's I gotta find out the real stuff.

404
00:23:58,720 --> 00:24:03,320
Speaker 5: Sixth seventh grade, seventh eighth grade, probably about probably about

405
00:24:03,320 --> 00:24:04,600
Speaker 5: one hundred kids.

406
00:24:04,440 --> 00:24:08,199
Speaker 3: And fit in fifty two in the high school in

407
00:24:08,240 --> 00:24:13,959
Speaker 3: my class, great high school. Yeah, and so one hundred

408
00:24:14,040 --> 00:24:19,880
Speaker 3: kids and you have it put in you from somewhere that, yeah,

409
00:24:19,920 --> 00:24:21,639
Speaker 3: I think this. I want to play an the NFL.

410
00:24:21,960 --> 00:24:26,119
Speaker 5: Yeah. I mean my family being in Wisconsin, we're die hard.

411
00:24:26,480 --> 00:24:30,160
Speaker 5: Uh we're die hard Backer fans until recently they all

412
00:24:30,200 --> 00:24:34,239
Speaker 5: switched over for me. But yeah, we grew up.

413
00:24:34,280 --> 00:24:36,000
Speaker 3: I'm sure they all look great and blue.

414
00:24:35,800 --> 00:24:39,200
Speaker 5: Oh yeah they do. But yeah, growing up, I mean,

415
00:24:39,480 --> 00:24:44,879
Speaker 5: you know watching you know, Aaron Rodgers, Donald Driver. That

416
00:24:45,000 --> 00:24:48,480
Speaker 5: was actually my first My first number I ever wanted

417
00:24:48,520 --> 00:24:51,679
Speaker 5: to get was number eighty because of Donald Driver. But

418
00:24:52,160 --> 00:24:55,439
Speaker 5: they that was taken, so I was number seventy as

419
00:24:55,480 --> 00:24:59,200
Speaker 5: a running back in junior pupier seventy. Okay, yeah right,

420
00:24:59,560 --> 00:25:01,840
Speaker 5: So I'm and just growing up watching all those guys,

421
00:25:01,880 --> 00:25:04,600
Speaker 5: and you know, playing with my buddies at Recess. I mean,

422
00:25:04,640 --> 00:25:07,080
Speaker 5: we had we played football as hard as we could

423
00:25:07,119 --> 00:25:10,920
Speaker 5: every single day. You just love the game, and I

424
00:25:10,960 --> 00:25:12,320
Speaker 5: knew that's what I wanted to do.

425
00:25:13,200 --> 00:25:16,000
Speaker 6: But yeah, you had talked about also in high school

426
00:25:16,080 --> 00:25:18,800
Speaker 6: that you had to play both sides, And did you

427
00:25:18,840 --> 00:25:21,400
Speaker 6: play linebacker, defensive end, running back?

428
00:25:21,480 --> 00:25:22,280
Speaker 4: What are the positions?

429
00:25:22,280 --> 00:25:23,360
Speaker 3: Did you play safety?

430
00:25:23,480 --> 00:25:26,080
Speaker 5: I played a little bit, a little bit of safety, linebacker.

431
00:25:26,720 --> 00:25:28,199
Speaker 5: I was guessing by the way, I did not know

432
00:25:28,280 --> 00:25:32,320
Speaker 5: that a little bit of wildcat quarterback was two for

433
00:25:32,359 --> 00:25:34,120
Speaker 5: three in high school seven yards?

434
00:25:35,480 --> 00:25:37,800
Speaker 6: What did you pull from each position just to help

435
00:25:37,840 --> 00:25:39,480
Speaker 6: you molded you into the player that.

436
00:25:39,440 --> 00:25:41,800
Speaker 5: You are today, Like as far as you know as.

437
00:25:41,640 --> 00:25:44,879
Speaker 6: A fullback, tight end, so pulling from being a linebacker

438
00:25:44,920 --> 00:25:47,040
Speaker 6: in high school or defensive end. What did you pull

439
00:25:47,080 --> 00:25:49,239
Speaker 6: exactly from those positions to help you?

440
00:25:49,680 --> 00:25:53,240
Speaker 5: I think just knowing some of their keys and how

441
00:25:53,320 --> 00:25:57,080
Speaker 5: they're reading stuff. I mean, honestly, obviously I don't know

442
00:25:57,480 --> 00:25:59,879
Speaker 5: as much about those positions as you know. Some of

443
00:25:59,880 --> 00:26:03,000
Speaker 5: the guys do playing in college and whatnot. But you know,

444
00:26:03,320 --> 00:26:05,840
Speaker 5: just having some of the basics of what their reads are.

445
00:26:06,240 --> 00:26:08,000
Speaker 5: If they see a fullback in the game, what are

446
00:26:08,000 --> 00:26:11,240
Speaker 5: they what are they thinkings coming at them? But then

447
00:26:11,240 --> 00:26:12,879
Speaker 5: again a lot of it has to do with, you know,

448
00:26:13,320 --> 00:26:15,600
Speaker 5: studying their film as well. How much do you study

449
00:26:15,640 --> 00:26:18,600
Speaker 5: the game, I'd say I'd say quite a bit. I

450
00:26:18,600 --> 00:26:23,040
Speaker 5: mean I try to watch every single pressure that the

451
00:26:23,119 --> 00:26:27,360
Speaker 5: other team brings every single week, whether that's on third down,

452
00:26:27,400 --> 00:26:29,080
Speaker 5: first or second. I'll make a cut up and I'll

453
00:26:29,119 --> 00:26:33,000
Speaker 5: watch that. We'll watch a lot of their explosive runs.

454
00:26:33,040 --> 00:26:35,239
Speaker 5: And then I have to do or I get to

455
00:26:35,240 --> 00:26:41,560
Speaker 5: do a linebacker report on each each one of their linebackers.

456
00:26:41,680 --> 00:26:44,800
Speaker 5: See how they play versus zone coverage or zone coverage,

457
00:26:44,840 --> 00:26:49,679
Speaker 5: man coverage, zone schemes for running game, gap schemes, just

458
00:26:49,760 --> 00:26:51,960
Speaker 5: how they how they rush in general, if they have

459
00:26:52,000 --> 00:26:57,320
Speaker 5: any counter moves to their main rush. But I mean,

460
00:26:57,359 --> 00:26:59,680
Speaker 5: it's it's a lot of film. But I mean it's fun,

461
00:27:00,160 --> 00:27:02,399
Speaker 5: like you enjoy it. I do, Yeah, it's a lot

462
00:27:02,440 --> 00:27:02,760
Speaker 5: of fun.

463
00:27:02,880 --> 00:27:03,840
Speaker 4: The linebacker report.

464
00:27:03,880 --> 00:27:05,720
Speaker 6: Is that something that you have to just like talk

465
00:27:05,760 --> 00:27:07,359
Speaker 6: about in the room or is that something you have

466
00:27:07,400 --> 00:27:08,760
Speaker 6: to type up how does that work?

467
00:27:09,400 --> 00:27:11,359
Speaker 5: So we'll get like a sheet in the beginning of

468
00:27:11,400 --> 00:27:13,960
Speaker 5: the week and I'll write down my notes on there.

469
00:27:14,040 --> 00:27:17,119
Speaker 5: I'll pull a few clips up, and then it's the

470
00:27:17,200 --> 00:27:20,439
Speaker 5: day before the game, usually Saturdays, I'll get together with

471
00:27:20,520 --> 00:27:22,640
Speaker 5: the tight end group and the running back group and

472
00:27:23,680 --> 00:27:28,640
Speaker 5: I'll present what I found in the film and other

473
00:27:28,680 --> 00:27:31,400
Speaker 5: guys can chime in on, you know, what they see

474
00:27:31,440 --> 00:27:34,320
Speaker 5: as well, But it's kind of just talking about what

475
00:27:34,400 --> 00:27:38,320
Speaker 5: their player personality kind of is and what their am always.

476
00:27:38,600 --> 00:27:42,320
Speaker 3: What do you enjoy more throwing the key lead block

477
00:27:44,280 --> 00:27:47,760
Speaker 3: in a goal line situation that opens the door for

478
00:27:47,800 --> 00:27:50,160
Speaker 3: a touchdown or scoring the touchdown?

479
00:27:51,560 --> 00:27:57,240
Speaker 5: It's tough, I think probably both. I mean, whenever we're

480
00:27:57,240 --> 00:28:00,600
Speaker 5: scoring touchdowns, it's fun. So I mean it doesn't matter

481
00:28:00,640 --> 00:28:02,920
Speaker 5: if I'm scoring or if you know, Rico or Zeke

482
00:28:03,040 --> 00:28:05,640
Speaker 5: or whoever else it is is scoring. I mean, it's

483
00:28:05,640 --> 00:28:06,840
Speaker 5: a good time when we get sick.

484
00:28:06,960 --> 00:28:10,880

Speaker 3: there so we can get you onto college. Do you

509
00:32:20,560 --> 00:32:24,200
Speaker 3: think that you went all four years North Dakota State

510
00:32:24,600 --> 00:32:27,560
Speaker 3: five five years. North Kota State one of the best

511
00:32:27,800 --> 00:32:31,120
Speaker 3: smaller college programs. And how many national championships did you win?

512
00:32:31,720 --> 00:32:33,320
Speaker 3: Three in five years?

513
00:32:33,360 --> 00:32:34,040
Speaker 5: Three and five years?

514
00:32:34,120 --> 00:32:41,560
Speaker 3: Yeah, do you think that playing five A football in

515
00:32:41,680 --> 00:32:46,640
Speaker 3: Wisconsin kept you from being recruited more heavily? And I

516
00:32:46,720 --> 00:32:48,600
Speaker 3: don't even know how heavily you were recruited by a

517
00:32:48,640 --> 00:32:53,040
Speaker 3: Big ten schools and schools in the Midwest. Did you

518
00:32:53,320 --> 00:32:55,480
Speaker 3: have any ambition to stay closer to home or go

519
00:32:55,600 --> 00:32:56,720
Speaker 3: to Wisconsin or any of that.

520
00:32:57,040 --> 00:32:59,320
Speaker 5: Yeah, I wanted to. I wanted to be a Badger

521
00:32:59,640 --> 00:33:03,640
Speaker 5: all all the way growing up in my childhood, just

522
00:33:03,840 --> 00:33:07,600
Speaker 5: not how things shook out for me. And then, you know,

523
00:33:08,360 --> 00:33:11,560
Speaker 5: just talking with North Dakota State's staff when I was

524
00:33:11,640 --> 00:33:15,719
Speaker 5: coming in, they originally wanted me as as a linebacker.

525
00:33:16,240 --> 00:33:18,880
Speaker 5: And I went to camp and I did stuff at

526
00:33:18,920 --> 00:33:22,920
Speaker 5: both linebacker and fullback, and I got to build a

527
00:33:23,080 --> 00:33:28,040
Speaker 5: really good relationship with my college coach, Tyler Roll, who

528
00:33:28,960 --> 00:33:32,440
Speaker 5: is a really big mentor in my life. So, I mean,

529
00:33:32,520 --> 00:33:35,760
Speaker 5: I built a fantastic relationship with him at that camp,

530
00:33:35,840 --> 00:33:38,120
Speaker 5: and I kind of knew like then and there that

531
00:33:38,400 --> 00:33:41,520
Speaker 5: you know, it didn't matter NBSU was going to be

532
00:33:41,600 --> 00:33:41,960
Speaker 5: my home.

533
00:33:42,120 --> 00:33:46,880
Speaker 3: So now you talked about having an inkling as early

534
00:33:46,920 --> 00:33:49,200
Speaker 3: as junior high about wanting to play in the NFL.

535
00:33:49,600 --> 00:33:53,600
Speaker 3: All right, now you're with North Kota State and how

536
00:33:54,080 --> 00:33:58,160
Speaker 3: do those dreams grow and accelerate as you go along

537
00:33:58,320 --> 00:34:01,800
Speaker 3: and go to a school a little bit far away

538
00:34:01,840 --> 00:34:05,440
Speaker 3: from home but turns out to be a phenomenal program.

539
00:34:05,800 --> 00:34:09,279
Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean theirs track record speaks for itself. I mean,

540
00:34:09,320 --> 00:34:13,759
Speaker 5: they're they have I think we have double digits in

541
00:34:13,800 --> 00:34:18,520
Speaker 5: the NFL. We've won multiple national championships. It's a great

542
00:34:18,560 --> 00:34:21,839
Speaker 5: culture over there. That's what they speak on every single

543
00:34:21,960 --> 00:34:27,440
Speaker 5: year's you know, nbsu's culture and the yep, yep, you

544
00:34:27,520 --> 00:34:30,400
Speaker 5: know they they just do everything the right way. They

545
00:34:30,480 --> 00:34:34,480
Speaker 5: kind of try to mold you into, you know, a

546
00:34:34,560 --> 00:34:37,040
Speaker 5: great human being as well. And you know they teach

547
00:34:37,080 --> 00:34:39,400
Speaker 5: you so much other than you know, just football, and

548
00:34:39,560 --> 00:34:41,800
Speaker 5: I think that that goes a long way. And you know,

549
00:34:41,880 --> 00:34:45,239
Speaker 5: as far as you know, it being another step to

550
00:34:45,719 --> 00:34:49,680
Speaker 5: my ultimate goal. And you know that's what my position coach,

551
00:34:49,760 --> 00:34:52,799
Speaker 5: Tyler roll I told him the first time we ever talked.

552
00:34:52,840 --> 00:34:55,319
Speaker 5: I mean, I said that was my goal and he said,

553
00:34:55,560 --> 00:34:58,120
Speaker 5: before you before you were in school. Yeah, I said

554
00:34:58,160 --> 00:35:00,359
Speaker 5: that that was my goal. And you know, he talked

555
00:35:00,360 --> 00:35:04,439
Speaker 5: to me last year during the draft process and he said,

556
00:35:04,520 --> 00:35:07,400
Speaker 5: you know, I knew you were serious when you said that,

557
00:35:07,560 --> 00:35:09,799
Speaker 5: and he said, he wrote it down and he said

558
00:35:10,160 --> 00:35:13,239
Speaker 5: he tried to help me as much as I could

559
00:35:13,440 --> 00:35:15,719
Speaker 5: try to, you know, obtain my goal as well. So,

560
00:35:15,880 --> 00:35:19,040
Speaker 5: I mean so much love for you know, North Kota

561
00:35:19,080 --> 00:35:21,520
Speaker 5: State and that program and everything like that.

562
00:35:21,719 --> 00:35:24,839
Speaker 6: So how you talk about the culture at North Dakota State,

563
00:35:25,280 --> 00:35:27,000
Speaker 6: How does the culture.

564
00:35:26,760 --> 00:35:29,840
Speaker 4: There have similarities to the Dallas Cowboys culture.

565
00:35:30,400 --> 00:35:34,600
Speaker 5: I think you look at the team room that we

566
00:35:34,760 --> 00:35:37,680
Speaker 5: have and you know, trust the processes up there. That

567
00:35:37,840 --> 00:35:40,400
Speaker 5: was really big at NDSU. Humility is up there. That

568
00:35:40,520 --> 00:35:43,759
Speaker 5: was really big at NDSU. Knowing your role, it was

569
00:35:43,840 --> 00:35:45,879
Speaker 5: really big at NDSU. So, I mean there's so many

570
00:35:46,000 --> 00:35:50,520
Speaker 5: similarities between the Cowboys and North Kota State, which is

571
00:35:50,760 --> 00:35:53,600
Speaker 5: really was really cool to see first, you know, walking

572
00:35:53,719 --> 00:35:56,120
Speaker 5: into the Star facility.

573
00:35:56,280 --> 00:36:02,160
Speaker 3: So did you hope and or expect to be drafted?

574
00:36:04,480 --> 00:36:09,640
Speaker 5: I think I hoped I would have been drafted. I knew,

575
00:36:10,000 --> 00:36:13,200
Speaker 5: you know, just having that shoulder injury my senior year

576
00:36:13,239 --> 00:36:15,400
Speaker 5: that was probably gonna dig me up a little bit.

577
00:36:15,480 --> 00:36:17,520
Speaker 5: Not being able to do everything at the combine and

578
00:36:17,920 --> 00:36:20,680
Speaker 5: you know, at Pro Day. But uh, you know, I

579
00:36:20,760 --> 00:36:22,759
Speaker 5: think it worked out for the for the best. Really,

580
00:36:23,880 --> 00:36:26,560
Speaker 5: I feel like Dallas is my home, our home. So,

581
00:36:27,160 --> 00:36:29,120
Speaker 5: I mean I was really excited when I got the

582
00:36:29,200 --> 00:36:33,080
Speaker 5: call from coach Michae McCarthy and you know, coach Bones

583
00:36:33,080 --> 00:36:34,719
Speaker 5: and coach Glascow and everybody like that.

584
00:36:34,960 --> 00:36:38,120
Speaker 3: So, so you weren't terribly disappointed at not being drafted,

585
00:36:38,160 --> 00:36:39,960
Speaker 3: especially having had the injury.

586
00:36:40,280 --> 00:36:42,920
Speaker 5: Yeah, no, I mean just being being a part of

587
00:36:43,320 --> 00:36:46,480
Speaker 5: you know, the NFL, in this organization. I mean, it's

588
00:36:46,880 --> 00:36:48,600
Speaker 5: it's truly a blessing every day.

589
00:36:48,680 --> 00:36:55,280
Speaker 3: So did you talk to Mike during the pre draft

590
00:36:55,440 --> 00:36:57,840
Speaker 3: process or during the draft or anything like that.

591
00:36:58,560 --> 00:37:00,800
Speaker 5: I didn't get to talk to him in the pre draft,

592
00:37:01,560 --> 00:37:03,400
Speaker 5: but as the draft was going on, he called me

593
00:37:03,480 --> 00:37:07,160
Speaker 5: a couple of times and just expressed how how much

594
00:37:08,400 --> 00:37:10,719
Speaker 5: they would like to have me here and everything like that.

595
00:37:10,920 --> 00:37:14,319
Speaker 3: So the kid who grew up a big Packer fan

596
00:37:15,360 --> 00:37:18,960
Speaker 3: and looking up to Aaron Rodgers and Donald Driver is

597
00:37:19,040 --> 00:37:21,279
Speaker 3: now getting a call from their coach and the guy

598
00:37:21,320 --> 00:37:23,960
Speaker 3: who took them to the Super Bowl. What was that like?

599
00:37:24,160 --> 00:37:26,400
Speaker 5: I mean, it was it was fantastic. I mean, It

600
00:37:26,520 --> 00:37:29,040
Speaker 5: was just me and my wife at our little apartment

601
00:37:29,120 --> 00:37:32,640
Speaker 5: in Fargo, and my my face lit up, her face

602
00:37:32,719 --> 00:37:35,560
Speaker 5: lit up. I mean I texted my mom that, you know,

603
00:37:35,960 --> 00:37:38,960
Speaker 5: I just got a call from Mike McCarthy, and she

604
00:37:39,200 --> 00:37:42,080
Speaker 5: she had to go and tell everybody, and my uncles

605
00:37:42,080 --> 00:37:44,000
Speaker 5: and aunts too. I mean, it was just you know,

606
00:37:44,200 --> 00:37:46,560
Speaker 5: so that was a big deal in Spencer, Yeah, really

607
00:37:46,600 --> 00:37:48,160
Speaker 5: big deal. Still is a big deal.

608
00:37:48,480 --> 00:37:50,920
Speaker 6: The players always talk about how Mike McCarthy such this

609
00:37:51,400 --> 00:37:52,279
Speaker 6: player led coach.

610
00:37:52,960 --> 00:37:55,759
Speaker 4: What are the conversations like in what's the chemistry like

611
00:37:55,840 --> 00:37:56,720
Speaker 4: between you and McCarthy.

612
00:37:57,160 --> 00:38:00,239
Speaker 5: I mean, I think it's great. You know, he's he's

613
00:38:00,239 --> 00:38:05,360
Speaker 5: always he he knows like fullbacks, especially having you know,

614
00:38:05,480 --> 00:38:10,040
Speaker 5: John Kuhn and Ripkowski, both guys that I watched growing up,

615
00:38:10,160 --> 00:38:12,560
Speaker 5: Like he knows how to use the full backs, and

616
00:38:12,680 --> 00:38:16,640
Speaker 5: he knows like with his offensive scheme, he knows what

617
00:38:16,760 --> 00:38:18,360
Speaker 5: he wants to see from a full back. So I

618
00:38:18,400 --> 00:38:21,279
Speaker 5: mean it's really really cool just you know, seeing his

619
00:38:21,440 --> 00:38:23,840
Speaker 5: knowledge of the game and you know how he treats

620
00:38:24,239 --> 00:38:25,400
Speaker 5: us players and stuff too.

621
00:38:25,760 --> 00:38:28,120
Speaker 3: You're not as big as Kohon as I recall, are you?

622
00:38:29,160 --> 00:38:30,280
Speaker 3: Are you similar.

623
00:38:32,239 --> 00:38:33,839
Speaker 5: Size? But he's a big dude.

624
00:38:33,920 --> 00:38:36,439
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean he's he. When I think of a fullback, course,

625
00:38:36,600 --> 00:38:41,400
Speaker 3: Darryl Johnston was here and who also was a tailback

626
00:38:41,920 --> 00:38:46,280
Speaker 3: in college at Syracuse, But you know today it's probably

627
00:38:46,480 --> 00:38:50,719
Speaker 3: Usjak who is the prototype and he's bigger. So does

628
00:38:50,840 --> 00:38:56,160
Speaker 3: not being whatever a bigger size fullback. Has that ever

629
00:38:56,239 --> 00:38:58,759
Speaker 3: been an impediment to your being effective at it?

630
00:38:59,719 --> 00:39:01,840
Speaker 5: I don't think so. I think, you know, you just

631
00:39:01,920 --> 00:39:04,120
Speaker 5: have to play with your strengths and then you know

632
00:39:04,800 --> 00:39:09,040
Speaker 5: there's obviously weaknesses, weaknesses and everybody's game. You just got

633
00:39:09,160 --> 00:39:11,879
Speaker 5: to work at those, try to work at those every

634
00:39:11,920 --> 00:39:15,040
Speaker 5: single day, and you know, try to strengthen those and

635
00:39:15,719 --> 00:39:16,960
Speaker 5: play to the best of your ability.

636
00:39:17,000 --> 00:39:21,239
Speaker 3: I guess so I heard you say you did a

637
00:39:21,280 --> 00:39:24,600
Speaker 3: little wildcat quarterback that was it? Did you say high

638
00:39:24,600 --> 00:39:25,720
Speaker 3: school or high school?

639
00:39:25,760 --> 00:39:27,680
Speaker 5: And then probably two snaps in college?

640
00:39:27,719 --> 00:39:30,160
Speaker 3: Okay? And I did I hear three out of seven,

641
00:39:31,239 --> 00:39:33,719
Speaker 3: two out of three for seven yards, two out of

642
00:39:33,719 --> 00:39:35,480
Speaker 3: three for seven. I know there was a seven two

643
00:39:35,560 --> 00:39:37,200
Speaker 3: out of three. Does Schottenheimer know that?

644
00:39:38,360 --> 00:39:40,320
Speaker 5: I don't think so either. I'm trying to keep that

645
00:39:40,400 --> 00:39:42,319
Speaker 5: on the down low as well. I don't think why.

646
00:39:42,880 --> 00:39:46,160
Speaker 5: I don't think I could throw a NFL pass. I

647
00:39:46,239 --> 00:39:48,840
Speaker 5: think i'd be uh, what are you talking about? Shaking

648
00:39:48,880 --> 00:39:49,719
Speaker 5: a little bit too much?

649
00:39:50,480 --> 00:39:53,800
Speaker 3: Wait, if you knew, if you practiced it, possibly you

650
00:39:53,920 --> 00:39:56,359
Speaker 3: get guys that did you see tape of this team

651
00:39:56,360 --> 00:39:59,400
Speaker 3: a couple of years ago. They had offensive tackles, catching

652
00:39:59,520 --> 00:40:04,799
Speaker 3: touchdown passes and defensive ends catching Chauncey caught a two

653
00:40:04,840 --> 00:40:08,719
Speaker 3: point conversion last year, right, yeah? Yeah? So why in

654
00:40:08,800 --> 00:40:13,800
Speaker 3: the world would the full back who has taken snaps

655
00:40:13,880 --> 00:40:18,040
Speaker 3: in competitive games not be able to catch everybody off guard?

656
00:40:18,440 --> 00:40:22,239
Speaker 3: Might have to I've said what I'm trying to say

657
00:40:22,320 --> 00:40:22,520

659
00:40:24,520 --> 00:40:26,480

Speaker 5: She was on the second grade junior peewee team with

699
00:45:25,960 --> 00:45:29,120
Speaker 5: all of us. She was the tight end. She was

700
00:45:29,640 --> 00:45:32,319
Speaker 5: faster than probably every single one of us on the team,

701
00:45:32,440 --> 00:45:35,960
Speaker 5: and probably one of our better players. But yeah, she

702
00:45:36,600 --> 00:45:39,280
Speaker 5: she played a couple of years of junior peewee football

703
00:45:39,400 --> 00:45:45,560
Speaker 5: for Spencer and then switched over to cheerleading and then volleyball, softball, basketball,

704
00:45:45,680 --> 00:45:48,440
Speaker 5: pretty much everything. So and did she also go to

705
00:45:48,560 --> 00:45:52,759
Speaker 5: nd Suh? No, we did long distance for a couple

706
00:45:52,800 --> 00:45:53,160
Speaker 5: of years.

707
00:45:53,440 --> 00:45:54,239
Speaker 3: Was that the big test?

708
00:45:55,120 --> 00:45:59,400
Speaker 5: Yeah? Yeah, Sadie said, yeah, yeah she was. She was

709
00:45:59,480 --> 00:46:04,920
Speaker 5: at Mankato in Minnesota, four and a half hours. But

710
00:46:05,160 --> 00:46:07,120
Speaker 5: we tried to see each other as much as we could.

711
00:46:07,280 --> 00:46:11,680
Speaker 5: But yeah, we during COVID she moved up to Fargo

712
00:46:11,760 --> 00:46:14,600
Speaker 5: and then we've been together ever since.

713
00:46:14,840 --> 00:46:18,200
Speaker 3: Was was Sadie the only girl playing in the program

714
00:46:18,960 --> 00:46:20,279
Speaker 3: in junior pee wee?

715
00:46:20,600 --> 00:46:22,600
Speaker 5: Nope, there was a there was another girl that was

716
00:46:22,640 --> 00:46:25,000
Speaker 5: on a different team. She was also a tight end.

717
00:46:25,200 --> 00:46:29,320
Speaker 5: But yeah, two girls in the Spencer Junior Pee Wee program.

718
00:46:29,560 --> 00:46:30,080
Speaker 7: But so.

719
00:46:31,960 --> 00:46:36,279
Speaker 3: She understands the game, which means she understands a player's mentality.

720
00:46:36,480 --> 00:46:41,160
Speaker 5: And I'd say, I think she's you know, throughout the years,

721
00:46:41,239 --> 00:46:43,160
Speaker 5: she's been trying to learn as much as she could.

722
00:46:43,400 --> 00:46:48,080
Speaker 3: Uh, you know, trust me, she knows more than you think.

723
00:46:49,000 --> 00:46:51,319
Speaker 3: Just trust me on that. She knows way more than

724
00:46:51,400 --> 00:46:51,759
Speaker 3: you think.

725
00:46:52,239 --> 00:46:54,720

726
00:46:54,760 --> 00:46:57,560
Speaker 5: fans and supporters, and you know she she gets what.

727
00:46:58,160 --> 00:46:59,880
Speaker 5: She gets what you know, I have to go through

728
00:47:00,120 --> 00:47:02,680
Speaker 5: on a day to day basis, which is really helpful.

729
00:47:02,800 --> 00:47:06,399
Speaker 5: And you know, her being you know with Lou most

730
00:47:06,440 --> 00:47:09,160
Speaker 5: of the time when I'm gone, I mean, just eases

732
00:47:11,400 --> 00:47:12,400
Speaker 5: heck of a lot easier.

744
00:47:43,080 --> 00:47:47,440
Speaker 8: biggest difference between college and high school football. One of

745
00:47:47,480 --> 00:47:49,680
Speaker 8: the things that they said was they weren't expecting to

746
00:47:49,760 --> 00:47:51,759
Speaker 8: have a little bit more time on their hands being

747
00:47:51,840 --> 00:47:54,480
Speaker 8: in the pros. So with that being said, did you

787
00:49:53,800 --> 00:49:56,520
Speaker 5: four four cups in the morning, and I make one

788
00:49:56,600 --> 00:49:59,279
Speaker 5: before before I leave in the morning, and then I

789
00:49:59,360 --> 00:50:02,320
Speaker 5: get probably two or three once I get to the facility,

790
00:50:02,400 --> 00:50:04,120
Speaker 5: So a big coffee drinker.

791
00:50:04,840 --> 00:50:07,200
Speaker 9: Three or yeah, some before you down the road, the

792
00:50:07,320 --> 00:50:08,000
Speaker 9: perfect three.

793
00:50:08,520 --> 00:50:10,319
Speaker 3: You said three or four in the morning and three

794
00:50:10,440 --> 00:50:11,239
Speaker 3: or four during the day.

795
00:50:11,680 --> 00:50:13,920
Speaker 5: Just just three or four in the morning, okay, yeah, okay,

796
00:50:14,000 --> 00:50:14,600
Speaker 5: not during the day.

797
00:50:14,640 --> 00:50:20,120
Speaker 3: I thought we had like six or eight. Yeah, okay, yeah,

798
00:50:20,320 --> 00:50:20,799
Speaker 3: how you doing.

799
00:50:20,840 --> 00:50:25,680
Speaker 5: I'm tony, God forbid, Zach Martin should retire.

800
00:50:26,880 --> 00:50:28,120
Speaker 3: Well, someday he's going to retire.

801
00:50:28,239 --> 00:50:29,520
Speaker 5: Now, it's going to happen.

802
00:50:29,719 --> 00:50:30,680
Speaker 3: Yeah, just trust me.

803
00:50:31,840 --> 00:50:33,320
Speaker 5: And they don't retire that number.

804
00:50:34,600 --> 00:50:36,520
Speaker 9: Would you consider going to get your number seventy?

805
00:50:38,400 --> 00:50:41,759
Speaker 5: No, I don't know about the number seventy anymore. I

806
00:50:41,960 --> 00:50:45,440
Speaker 5: was glad to get rid of that and get to

807
00:50:45,760 --> 00:50:47,600
Speaker 5: number forty four in Pewee.

808
00:50:47,800 --> 00:50:51,640
Speaker 3: So I'm not sure they'd let I know. They've loosened

809
00:50:51,680 --> 00:50:54,200
Speaker 3: the rules in the NFL, but I'm not sure they'd

810
00:50:54,239 --> 00:50:58,600
Speaker 3: let a running back where a seventy number. And I

811
00:50:58,760 --> 00:51:01,440
Speaker 3: also think it's gonna be a little while before anybody

812
00:51:01,560 --> 00:51:04,960
Speaker 3: wears seventy around here. When Zach's done with it. The

813
00:51:05,000 --> 00:51:11,920
Speaker 3: Cowboys don't retire numbers. But there's ray Is Rayfield the

814
00:51:11,960 --> 00:51:14,600
Speaker 3: only number seventy in the Ring of Honor right now,

815
00:51:14,719 --> 00:51:16,800
Speaker 3: the Ring of Honor and Hall of Fame. I believe

816
00:51:16,840 --> 00:51:21,759
Speaker 3: that's right. But yeah, there's a pretty good Rayfield right

817
00:51:21,800 --> 00:51:25,879
Speaker 3: there's a pretty good lineage of seventies, so it'll it'll

818
00:51:25,920 --> 00:51:28,520
Speaker 3: be a while before they'll give that out other than

819
00:51:28,960 --> 00:51:29,359
Speaker 3: other than.

820
00:51:29,360 --> 00:51:29,960
Speaker 7: A training kip.

821
00:51:30,160 --> 00:51:32,920
Speaker 4: You were talking about your number though, and where it

822
00:51:33,000 --> 00:51:34,439
Speaker 4: comes from and your dad.

823
00:51:34,640 --> 00:51:36,840
Speaker 5: You just tell the people about your say, yeah, so

824
00:51:37,920 --> 00:51:41,160
Speaker 5: my dad was number forty four in high school, so

825
00:51:41,719 --> 00:51:44,000
Speaker 5: that was my number growing up through Peewee and Junior

826
00:51:44,040 --> 00:51:48,319
Speaker 5: Peewee in college and then my college coach was number

827
00:51:48,400 --> 00:51:51,600
Speaker 5: forty in college at NDSU, and then he played a

828
00:51:51,640 --> 00:51:55,480
Speaker 5: little bit for the Seahawks. So that's why I chose

829
00:51:56,000 --> 00:51:58,080
Speaker 5: number forty now, so excellent.

830
00:51:58,320 --> 00:52:02,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, other sport sports? Did you play other sports?

831
00:52:02,239 --> 00:52:04,799
Speaker 5: Yeah? I was a wrestler in high school and then

832
00:52:04,840 --> 00:52:06,520
Speaker 5: I played a little bit of baseball as well.

833
00:52:06,760 --> 00:52:09,759
Speaker 4: So did you go to like stateon wrestling now?

834
00:52:09,960 --> 00:52:13,040
Speaker 5: Yeah, I was a two time state champ in Wisconsin

835
00:52:13,160 --> 00:52:17,080
Speaker 5: for wrestling at oh By the way, modestly. Yeah, yeah,

836
00:52:17,560 --> 00:52:24,440
Speaker 5: just twenty junior and senior year, and then baseball. I

837
00:52:24,760 --> 00:52:27,640
Speaker 5: pretty much played in every every position I could, which

838
00:52:27,719 --> 00:52:32,640
Speaker 5: was pretty fun. Your favorite was football, of course? Position

839
00:52:32,760 --> 00:52:38,680
Speaker 5: baseball baseball? Mm hm, I like I like playing shortstop

840
00:52:38,760 --> 00:52:40,680
Speaker 5: just because I was a lefty and everybody told me

841
00:52:40,760 --> 00:52:43,919
Speaker 5: I couldn't play there, but you know, the coach threw

842
00:52:43,960 --> 00:52:46,680
Speaker 5: me in there for probably a couple of innings here

843
00:52:46,719 --> 00:52:47,000
Speaker 5: and there.

844
00:52:47,120 --> 00:52:49,440
Speaker 3: Oh, my mind is reeling. I'm just trying to picture

845
00:52:49,480 --> 00:52:52,319
Speaker 3: all of the difficulties of playing shortstop as a left hand.

846
00:52:52,400 --> 00:52:53,239
Speaker 5: It was so much fun.

847
00:52:53,440 --> 00:52:54,920
Speaker 3: Yeah, how was your range?

848
00:52:55,880 --> 00:52:57,080
Speaker 5: I could throw the ball a little bit.

849
00:52:57,760 --> 00:52:58,759
Speaker 3: So what kind of hitter were you?

850
00:52:59,640 --> 00:53:03,239
Speaker 5: I'd I was more of a contact hitter. I wasn't

851
00:53:03,239 --> 00:53:06,080
Speaker 5: really trying to crush the ball every time I was

852
00:53:06,280 --> 00:53:08,080
Speaker 5: I was trying to hit doubles and triples.

853
00:53:08,280 --> 00:53:12,359
Speaker 3: So and how far could you have taken that if

854
00:53:12,400 --> 00:53:12,800
Speaker 3: you wanted to.

855
00:53:14,360 --> 00:53:17,520
Speaker 5: I got talked to by a couple of college coaches

856
00:53:18,760 --> 00:53:22,839
Speaker 5: for baseball, but you know, my mind was set ever

857
00:53:22,960 --> 00:53:24,880
Speaker 5: since I was I was young. I wanted to be

858
00:53:24,920 --> 00:53:25,880
Speaker 5: a football player.

859
00:53:25,680 --> 00:53:29,040
Speaker 3: And there would there was no possibility of playing both sports.

860
00:53:29,560 --> 00:53:31,920
Speaker 5: No, I think I just wanted to focus on playing

861
00:53:32,280 --> 00:53:35,560
Speaker 5: one and being the best I could at one in college.

862
00:53:35,920 --> 00:53:39,560
Speaker 6: So year two now for you with the Dallas Cowboys,

863
00:53:40,280 --> 00:53:42,560
Speaker 6: what's the experience been like and how do you feel

864
00:53:42,600 --> 00:53:43,480
Speaker 6: like you've grown as a.

865
00:53:43,480 --> 00:53:45,200
Speaker 4: Player in just the two years you've been here.

866
00:53:45,680 --> 00:53:48,640
Speaker 5: I mean, it's it's been fantastic. You know, being part

867
00:53:48,680 --> 00:53:51,200
Speaker 5: of the NFL is always a dream, was always a

868
00:53:51,280 --> 00:53:53,120
Speaker 5: dream of mine. It's a dream of so many. So

869
00:53:53,520 --> 00:53:56,400
Speaker 5: you know, I'm truly blessed to be a part of,

870
00:53:56,800 --> 00:54:01,120
Speaker 5: you know, this organization. And you know, one thing that

871
00:54:01,280 --> 00:54:03,960
Speaker 5: you know I wanted to really improve on from year

872
00:54:04,000 --> 00:54:06,840
Speaker 5: one in year two was just the way how or

873
00:54:07,080 --> 00:54:10,920
Speaker 5: just the way that I handled my business outside of

874
00:54:11,200 --> 00:54:13,880
Speaker 5: you know, meetings in football, how I'm taking care of

875
00:54:13,960 --> 00:54:17,800
Speaker 5: my body, how my diet's going, you know, my film study.

876
00:54:17,840 --> 00:54:20,239
Speaker 5: I wanted to get that a little bit better. So

877
00:54:20,440 --> 00:54:21,960
Speaker 5: that was a lot of stuff that I tried to

878
00:54:24,600 --> 00:54:26,560
Speaker 5: get better at throughout the offseason, which I think have

879
00:54:26,680 --> 00:54:29,440
Speaker 5: helped a lot this year going through the season, because

880
00:54:29,560 --> 00:54:32,319
Speaker 5: you know, the seasons, the season's long. So you mean,

881
00:54:32,360 --> 00:54:34,040
Speaker 5: you got to keep your body in your mind.

882
00:54:33,960 --> 00:54:38,120
Speaker 3: Right, you having any easier time? I mean you so

883
00:54:38,280 --> 00:54:45,239
Speaker 3: you in the in the Football Championship, you would have

884
00:54:45,239 --> 00:54:46,640
Speaker 3: played how many playoff.

885
00:54:46,280 --> 00:54:51,400
Speaker 5: Games we play three or four depending on if we.

886
00:54:51,600 --> 00:54:54,600
Speaker 3: So you could play sixteen games. Yeah, and now you're

887
00:54:54,640 --> 00:55:00,320
Speaker 3: playing twenty including preseason. So hard last year when you

888
00:55:00,360 --> 00:55:02,600
Speaker 3: get to about seventeen or eighteen.

889
00:55:02,719 --> 00:55:05,880
Speaker 5: I mean, don't I don't think it was. I mean,

890
00:55:05,920 --> 00:55:08,920
Speaker 5: obviously it's NFL and not not college. But you know,

891
00:55:09,000 --> 00:55:13,040
Speaker 5: I kind of had that mindset going into it, like

892
00:55:13,160 --> 00:55:16,759
Speaker 5: I've been through that, going through NBSU, Like I didn't

893
00:55:16,800 --> 00:55:20,360
Speaker 5: get to go home for you know, holiday vacations.

894
00:55:20,440 --> 00:55:20,680
Speaker 7: I was.

895
00:55:20,880 --> 00:55:24,360
Speaker 5: I was there for school and you know for football

896
00:55:24,400 --> 00:55:27,719
Speaker 5: as well. So I've gone through those long stretches, so

897
00:55:28,239 --> 00:55:30,880
Speaker 5: that that rookie wall that you know everybody talks about

898
00:55:31,000 --> 00:55:32,920
Speaker 5: wasn't as difficult for me.

899
00:55:33,520 --> 00:55:36,239
Speaker 4: How did your diet change? What was something that was

900
00:55:36,719 --> 00:55:38,880
Speaker 4: I guess the problem with your diet in your opinion?

901
00:55:39,080 --> 00:55:40,560
Speaker 5: I mean, I wouldn't say there was a there was

902
00:55:40,600 --> 00:55:45,000
Speaker 5: a problem. I'm just trying to, you know, watch what

903
00:55:45,120 --> 00:55:49,279
Speaker 5: I'm eating, eating healthier, not eating as much red meat

904
00:55:49,280 --> 00:55:50,680
Speaker 5: as I used to in the past.

905
00:55:50,840 --> 00:55:54,560
Speaker 3: So we got about less than a minute left. What

906
00:55:54,560 --> 00:55:55,680
Speaker 3: do you want to be when you grow up?

907
00:55:57,680 --> 00:55:59,520
Speaker 5: I'm what I want to be when I grow up.

908
00:55:59,600 --> 00:56:03,080
Speaker 5: Right now, this is this is what I've always wanted

909
00:56:03,120 --> 00:56:03,239
Speaker 5: to be.

910
00:56:03,440 --> 00:56:06,719
Speaker 3: And you know, so you're planning to play until you're

911
