Speaker 1: I mean that's what I do. I love football, So

9
00:00:16,760 --> 00:00:19,720
Speaker 1: it's been hard being out. It's been hard just just watching,

10
00:00:20,800 --> 00:00:23,200
Speaker 1: but excited to get back at it this week.

11
00:00:24,120 --> 00:00:27,320
Speaker 2: Ready to go. There's your reaction to the decision want

17
00:00:45,159 --> 00:00:48,080
Speaker 3: it's it's a tough spot. So that's that's what it.

18
00:00:48,600 --> 00:00:52,919
Speaker 3: Do You have a new appreciation for the word of patients.

19
00:00:52,280 --> 00:00:55,360
Speaker 2: Uh, a little bit. I mean I kind of grew up.

20
00:00:56,600 --> 00:00:59,200
Speaker 1: I grew up with with with sister, all sisters, so

21
00:01:00,040 --> 00:01:01,560
Speaker 1: kind of got a lot of patience already.

22
00:01:01,720 --> 00:01:06,400
Speaker 3: But made it pretty clear decision.

23
00:01:09,120 --> 00:01:12,520
Speaker 4: Did you express to him that.

24
00:01:11,959 --> 00:01:14,600
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, I mean, of course, I mean it's you know,

25
00:01:15,480 --> 00:01:18,280
Speaker 1: I never don't want to play. So I mean that

26
00:01:18,280 --> 00:01:21,400
Speaker 1: that you know that that narrative that's out there is

27
00:01:22,560 --> 00:01:24,760
Speaker 1: I don't know where people get it from, but I

28
00:01:24,760 --> 00:01:26,360
Speaker 1: mean all I want to do is play football. So

29
00:01:27,200 --> 00:01:28,880
Speaker 1: I mean we talked about it and we came up

30
00:01:28,880 --> 00:01:31,360
Speaker 1: to a decision and that's what it is.

31
00:01:32,000 --> 00:01:33,920
Speaker 3: Practice. And how how does your handstring feel?

32
00:01:34,000 --> 00:01:34,120

00:01:35,720 --> 00:01:39,000
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm I'm excited to get back outside, get

35
00:01:39,040 --> 00:01:40,520
Speaker 1: back on the field and get to it.

36
00:01:40,600 --> 00:01:42,399
Speaker 5: I know, you guys block out, tend to block out

37
00:01:42,400 --> 00:01:44,040
Speaker 5: the outside noise without disappointing.

38
00:01:44,640 --> 00:01:46,000
Speaker 2: Was there for you to hear that narrative?

39
00:01:47,960 --> 00:01:48,080
Speaker 6: Uh?

40
00:01:48,760 --> 00:01:50,320
Speaker 3: I mean it didn't really disappoint me.

41
00:01:51,440 --> 00:01:53,640
Speaker 1: I mean it's it's it's from a lot of people

42
00:01:53,640 --> 00:01:55,480
Speaker 1: that have never stepped foot on a football field.

43
00:01:55,560 --> 00:01:59,800
Speaker 3: So it didn't really disappoint me too much.

44
00:02:00,040 --> 00:02:01,760
Speaker 2: How think of the challenge you think it'll be for

45
00:02:01,840 --> 00:02:05,800
Speaker 2: you to feel in game shape after having so much

46
00:02:05,840 --> 00:02:07,200
Speaker 2: time rehaving this injury.

47
00:02:08,200 --> 00:02:12,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean it's it's kind of I mean, it's

48
00:02:12,480 --> 00:02:13,360
Speaker 1: kind of hard to answer that.

49
00:02:13,919 --> 00:02:17,280
Speaker 3: I mean, you don't really know. I mean, but I've

50
00:02:17,320 --> 00:02:20,519
Speaker 3: always been in relatively good shape.

51
00:02:20,440 --> 00:02:23,920
Speaker 1: When it comes to you know, my heart and you know,

52
00:02:23,960 --> 00:02:26,440

Speaker 6: Do you feel like you got through the week well

54
00:02:31,200 --> 00:02:32,560
Speaker 6: from what you were able.

Speaker 1: To do on the field, Yeah, I mean, but I'm

56
00:02:38,520 --> 00:02:39,760
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm focused on this week.

57
00:02:39,800 --> 00:02:41,519
Speaker 3: I'm really too worried about last week.

58
00:02:41,600 --> 00:02:44,040
Speaker 6: Yeah, I'm just trying to get get get a gauge

59
00:02:44,200 --> 00:02:46,880
Speaker 6: or you know, you felt there were no kind of

60
00:02:47,760 --> 00:02:50,160
Speaker 6: you know, set back type of things, or you didn't

61
00:02:50,160 --> 00:02:53,400

Speaker 3: We talked about it and we went with it.

66
00:03:03,600 --> 00:03:05,560
Speaker 2: Christian difference hasn't been just watching.

67
00:03:08,440 --> 00:03:11,679
Speaker 1: It's been difficult just being able to to not be

68
00:03:11,520 --> 00:03:12,120
Speaker 1: to be out.

69
00:03:11,960 --> 00:03:12,720
Speaker 4: There with the guys.

70
00:03:13,919 --> 00:03:16,079
Speaker 3: I'm in the building with them all day and to

71
00:03:16,080 --> 00:03:18,680
Speaker 3: not be able to be out there at the practice

72
00:03:18,680 --> 00:03:22,320
Speaker 3: field and the game field. It's been hard. But I'm

73
00:03:22,360 --> 00:03:27,240
Speaker 3: excited for to say you're playing this Sunday. I'm excited.

74
00:03:31,760 --> 00:03:34,440
Speaker 5: In the slot not something you did before you're injury

75
00:03:34,480 --> 00:03:35,600
Speaker 5: in Houston quite a bit.

76
00:03:35,800 --> 00:03:38,440
Speaker 4: And do you see more of a goal in that

77
00:03:38,480 --> 00:03:39,800
Speaker 4: way here in New England.

78
00:03:40,320 --> 00:03:42,680
Speaker 5: I mean throughout my career, Iline have been to start

79
00:03:42,680 --> 00:03:47,160
Speaker 5: a lot. My first year playing I played the excit.

80
00:03:47,200 --> 00:03:48,880
Speaker 5: In my second year I played the Z and F

81
00:03:49,560 --> 00:03:51,640
Speaker 5: in a different offense, so I played in the side

82
00:03:51,640 --> 00:03:53,960
Speaker 5: a lot. I don't I'm not uncomfortable anywhere.

83
00:03:53,960 --> 00:03:55,640
Speaker 4: That's just whatever they need me for her for at

84
00:03:55,680 --> 00:03:58,480
Speaker 4: this point. So, uh, I have no issues, whether it's

85
00:03:58,520 --> 00:04:00,040
Speaker 4: household or when it comes.

86
00:03:59,840 --> 00:04:02,760
Speaker 3: To the differensives is more of a Josh McCain's offense

87
00:04:02,800 --> 00:04:04,400
Speaker 3: ers and just kept a football.

88
00:04:04,920 --> 00:04:05,720
Speaker 2: A little bit of both.

89
00:04:05,800 --> 00:04:08,080
Speaker 5: You know, you kind of got to play to your strength,

90
00:04:08,160 --> 00:04:09,880
Speaker 5: so it's whatever works. Like last year, I played a

91
00:04:09,880 --> 00:04:11,920
Speaker 5: lot in the slot. You know, we had like five

92
00:04:11,960 --> 00:04:13,880
Speaker 5: six receivers that were you know what I'm saying, really

93
00:04:13,880 --> 00:04:16,640
Speaker 5: really good. So no matter what whatever they need, I'm

94
00:04:17,160 --> 00:04:19,520
Speaker 5: I'm gonna be available. It's just all predicated on what

95
00:04:19,520 --> 00:04:21,560
Speaker 5: they call them. But it's still footballed and that everybody

96
00:04:21,600 --> 00:04:22,840
Speaker 5: lines up pretty much everywhere.

97
00:04:22,920 --> 00:04:24,560
Speaker 4: So however, I can help.

98
00:04:24,600 --> 00:04:25,880
Speaker 1: Stiff good experience.

99
00:04:25,960 --> 00:04:28,360
Speaker 5: So let me ask you this question, Yes, sir, how

100
00:04:28,480 --> 00:04:32,560
Speaker 5: does a team learn how not to lose? Yeah, it

101
00:04:32,600 --> 00:04:35,720
Speaker 5: was interesting I heard the Miami coach say something like that,

102
00:04:35,760 --> 00:04:37,720
Speaker 5: like a couple weeks ago and they just fried them.

103
00:04:38,200 --> 00:04:40,080
Speaker 4: But I actually understood what he was saying.

104
00:04:39,839 --> 00:04:41,520
Speaker 5: For the most part, like people who lose games more

105
00:04:41,520 --> 00:04:43,360
Speaker 5: than they win games, and to now lose games, you

106
00:04:43,400 --> 00:04:44,040
Speaker 5: gotta win the game.

107
00:04:44,080 --> 00:04:45,880
Speaker 4: Obviously it sounds like a little.

108
00:04:45,600 --> 00:04:48,120
Speaker 5: Bit, uh, I guess I don't know child center way,

109
00:04:48,160 --> 00:04:50,520
Speaker 5: but I understood them fully. And you learn how to

110
00:04:50,560 --> 00:04:54,040
Speaker 5: lose by like experience, sadly enough, going in at the

111
00:04:54,120 --> 00:04:56,200
Speaker 5: right direction, the right direction I'm trying to win. You

112
00:04:56,240 --> 00:04:58,960
Speaker 5: gotta learn how to win. I'm saying being a winner consistently.

113
00:04:59,320 --> 00:05:00,800
Speaker 5: You can do everything right during the week. You know

114
00:05:00,800 --> 00:05:02,600
Speaker 5: what I'm saying. It just gives you an opportunity or

115
00:05:03,040 --> 00:05:04,599
Speaker 5: putch in a position to win the game. But you

116
00:05:04,640 --> 00:05:06,880
Speaker 5: still got to not lose it. Now while executing at

117
00:05:06,880 --> 00:05:09,720
Speaker 5: a high level, fundamental technique, just the stuff that they

118
00:05:09,800 --> 00:05:11,720
Speaker 5: coach and they preachach and each and every day and

119
00:05:11,760 --> 00:05:13,960
Speaker 5: throughout the week. They gotta translate what I'm saying. And

120
00:05:14,040 --> 00:05:16,680
Speaker 5: sometimes it does and sometimes it doesn't. Where you fall

121
00:05:16,720 --> 00:05:19,159
Speaker 5: short as when you lack experience. But I feel like

122
00:05:19,600 --> 00:05:21,080
Speaker 5: you got to take these l's with a lesson.

123
00:05:21,160 --> 00:05:22,360
Speaker 2: I'm saying. We were in all of them.

124
00:05:22,360 --> 00:05:25,039
Speaker 5: We were competitive, We were right there, so we could

125
00:05:25,040 --> 00:05:26,960
Speaker 5: easily be sitting at three and no, but we wanted

126
00:05:27,000 --> 00:05:28,520
Speaker 5: to and we got a lot to look forward to.

127
00:05:28,839 --> 00:05:30,640
Speaker 2: Steff, you've repeated your game.

128
00:05:31,360 --> 00:05:35,039
Speaker 3: Where did you develop the seven yards you go eight?

129
00:05:35,279 --> 00:05:36,200
Speaker 2: Where did that come from?

130
00:05:36,360 --> 00:05:37,960
Speaker 3: And you you always seem to run the right route

131
00:05:38,040 --> 00:05:41,480
Speaker 3: yards to get the yards that you need to make.

132
00:05:41,839 --> 00:05:43,080
Speaker 4: I think it's just from an experience.

133
00:05:43,200 --> 00:05:44,760
Speaker 5: You know, I've been out there for a while, Like

134
00:05:45,279 --> 00:05:47,800
Speaker 5: if I was doing things another way, we have a

135
00:05:47,800 --> 00:05:50,159
Speaker 5: little bit, a little bit of bad conversation, but just

136
00:05:50,200 --> 00:05:52,680
Speaker 5: from experience and being out there, and I try to

137
00:05:52,720 --> 00:05:55,400
Speaker 5: be cognizant of what's going on around me, and uh,

138
00:05:55,600 --> 00:05:57,320
Speaker 5: you know, things happen out there. It's still football at

139
00:05:57,360 --> 00:05:59,400
Speaker 5: the end of the day. So I fall short sometimes

140
00:05:59,440 --> 00:06:00,760
Speaker 5: you might not know this is too much. I heard

141
00:06:00,800 --> 00:06:03,080
Speaker 5: y'all pay close attention to the route depth, so it

142
00:06:03,120 --> 00:06:05,440
Speaker 5: does happen to me at times as well. But you know,

143
00:06:05,839 --> 00:06:07,600
Speaker 5: things happen. It's still football at the end of the day,

144
00:06:07,680 --> 00:06:09,599
Speaker 5: So I just.

145
00:06:09,080 --> 00:06:10,719
Speaker 4: Kind of like give all the credit to just me

146
00:06:10,760 --> 00:06:11,560
Speaker 4: being experienced.

147
00:06:13,200 --> 00:06:16,160
Speaker 1: How different all do you feel from what you were

148
00:06:16,160 --> 00:06:18,320
Speaker 1: heading into the first game today?

149
00:06:18,400 --> 00:06:20,000
Speaker 2: My last Mumba, I was listening to.

150
00:06:20,400 --> 00:06:21,080
Speaker 3: You feel physically.

151
00:06:21,600 --> 00:06:22,760
Speaker 2: Three games under your belt.

152
00:06:22,760 --> 00:06:25,960
Speaker 5: I've been tackled, Sorry my language, I've been tackled a bunch.

153
00:06:26,040 --> 00:06:28,800
Speaker 5: Now I feel pretty comfortable out there. I just like

154
00:06:28,839 --> 00:06:30,240
Speaker 5: I said in the again of my first game, I

155
00:06:30,320 --> 00:06:32,160
Speaker 5: just have missed being out there. So now that I'm

156
00:06:32,200 --> 00:06:34,000
Speaker 5: kind of like turning the key on that and being

157
00:06:34,040 --> 00:06:36,159
Speaker 5: out there consistently, you know, it's just you know, getting

158
00:06:36,160 --> 00:06:37,920
Speaker 5: back to the field of the game, and each game

159
00:06:37,960 --> 00:06:39,839
Speaker 5: is different. You know a lot of people play some similar,

160
00:06:39,880 --> 00:06:42,440
Speaker 5: similar coverages. But getting out there and playing with my

161
00:06:42,480 --> 00:06:44,840
Speaker 5: guys in mession, I feel like at this point we've

162
00:06:44,839 --> 00:06:46,680
Speaker 5: got a couple of games under our belt, but messing

163
00:06:46,720 --> 00:06:47,200
Speaker 5: as a team.

164
00:06:47,240 --> 00:06:47,680
Speaker 4: You know what I'm saying.

165
00:06:47,680 --> 00:06:49,560
Speaker 5: You kind of see spurts of us having that energy

166
00:06:49,600 --> 00:06:51,680
Speaker 5: and you know that team caaraderie, so kind of just

167
00:06:51,720 --> 00:06:52,640
Speaker 5: continue to build on that.

168
00:06:52,680 --> 00:06:54,720
Speaker 4: But I feel I feel great.

169
00:06:54,240 --> 00:06:58,599
Speaker 6: You're in a place where you can take on more

170
00:06:58,800 --> 00:07:03,240
Speaker 6: perhaps you know, see more snaps, contribute a little more well.

171
00:07:03,240 --> 00:07:04,760
Speaker 5: I mean, I'm I mean kind of like what I

172
00:07:04,800 --> 00:07:07,880
Speaker 5: said earlier, like I'm here for whatever they need. I'm saying,

173
00:07:07,920 --> 00:07:09,320
Speaker 5: like I've been doing this for a long time. I'm

174
00:07:09,360 --> 00:07:12,640
Speaker 5: a veteran I'm a healthy you know, shout out to God.

175
00:07:12,680 --> 00:07:14,800
Speaker 5: But it's whatever they need me to do. Like I'm

176
00:07:14,840 --> 00:07:16,360
Speaker 5: not going to bite off more than I can chew

177
00:07:16,480 --> 00:07:18,200
Speaker 5: or I'm not gonna ask an. It's whatever they need.

178
00:07:18,240 --> 00:07:20,520
Speaker 5: I'm saying, I'm gonna just handle what's in front of me.

179
00:07:20,560 --> 00:07:22,400
Speaker 5: I got like a rule of thumb, just eat the

180
00:07:22,400 --> 00:07:24,040
Speaker 5: food that's in front of you. I'm saying, whatever they

181
00:07:24,200 --> 00:07:26,560
Speaker 5: use is you know, take it. You know what I'm saying,

182
00:07:26,560 --> 00:07:28,280
Speaker 5: handle it with grace, and you know, continue to push

183
00:07:28,280 --> 00:07:29,720
Speaker 5: your teammates. That's where I'm man at this point.

184
00:07:30,480 --> 00:07:35,680
Speaker 4: Credit you with this block on Sunday? Guys, how important

185
00:07:35,680 --> 00:07:38,040
Speaker 4: are those moments for you? You're doing things that don't necessarily

186
00:07:38,080 --> 00:07:38,720
Speaker 4: show up and stuff.

187
00:07:38,760 --> 00:07:40,080
Speaker 5: Yeah, you don't hear my name too much when it

188
00:07:40,120 --> 00:07:43,080
Speaker 5: comes to the block, but like I'll try to show

189
00:07:43,160 --> 00:07:45,240
Speaker 5: up when I can. But as far as like look

190
00:07:45,240 --> 00:07:47,800
Speaker 5: at it, as you know, as a veteran guy and

191
00:07:47,840 --> 00:07:49,520
Speaker 5: as one of the leaders on this team, I feel

192
00:07:49,520 --> 00:07:52,720
Speaker 5: like holding myself accountable is number one what I'm saying.

193
00:07:52,720 --> 00:07:55,000
Speaker 5: And as you hold yourself accountable, like players around you,

194
00:07:55,040 --> 00:07:55,840
Speaker 5: they can follow suit.

195
00:07:55,920 --> 00:07:56,520
Speaker 2: Like, know what I'm saying.

196
00:07:56,600 --> 00:07:59,480
Speaker 5: If one of your best players on offense is when

197
00:08:00,000 --> 00:08:02,320
Speaker 5: out there and throwing blocks, I think everybody will follow suit,

198
00:08:02,400 --> 00:08:04,080
Speaker 5: so you know, it's kind of like a chain of

199
00:08:04,360 --> 00:08:06,320
Speaker 5: chain reaction kind of thing. I just want to give

200
00:08:06,360 --> 00:08:08,760
Speaker 5: maximum effort, and you know, sometimes you don't show up

201
00:08:08,800 --> 00:08:10,760
Speaker 5: on the statue. Though I won't always get to catch

202
00:08:10,800 --> 00:08:12,800
Speaker 5: I won't always do this, but I'm gonna doing my

203
00:08:12,880 --> 00:08:14,760
Speaker 5: job and I'm trying to be a good teammate.

204
00:08:14,760 --> 00:08:15,440
Speaker 2: Shit, I'll be all right.

205
00:08:16,160 --> 00:08:17,960
Speaker 3: You've always been a blocker.

206
00:08:18,120 --> 00:08:21,440
Speaker 1: No hell no, eat what's on your plate, guy, or

207
00:08:21,680 --> 00:08:23,680
Speaker 1: even one that's been like, hey, give me more food.

208
00:08:23,800 --> 00:08:25,880
Speaker 5: Comparison is a thief of joy. What I'm saying, I

209
00:08:25,880 --> 00:08:28,040
Speaker 5: can't really think about what's going on around me. I

210
00:08:28,160 --> 00:08:29,840
Speaker 5: be cheering for my guys. I always clap for the

211
00:08:30,160 --> 00:08:31,960
Speaker 5: for everybody around me, even if it's not for me.

212
00:08:32,720 --> 00:08:34,520
Speaker 5: But I've all I mean, I'm pretty much always been

213
00:08:34,520 --> 00:08:36,680
Speaker 5: that way. Even if you do want more whatever's on

214
00:08:36,720 --> 00:08:38,600
Speaker 5: your plate, you got to eat it. But I never

215
00:08:38,679 --> 00:08:41,679
Speaker 5: want to fall into the trap of focusing on something

216
00:08:41,720 --> 00:08:43,319
Speaker 5: else and not eating the food in front of me.

217
00:08:43,400 --> 00:08:45,040
Speaker 5: I'm saying, you're not worried about what's in front of

218
00:08:45,080 --> 00:08:47,120
Speaker 5: you and focusing on things outside of football.

219
00:08:47,640 --> 00:08:49,040
Speaker 2: I just try to focus on the things that was

220
00:08:49,080 --> 00:08:49,720
Speaker 2: right in front of me.

221
00:08:49,760 --> 00:08:51,240
Speaker 5: And you know what I'm saying, I'm gonna make sure

222
00:08:51,240 --> 00:08:53,000
Speaker 5: I scrape the plate though, I promise it, I'm gonna

223
00:08:53,080 --> 00:08:55,400
Speaker 5: leave no crumbs this paper.

224
00:08:55,520 --> 00:08:58,480
Speaker 2: Secondary ship. They playing fast.

225
00:08:58,520 --> 00:09:00,440
Speaker 5: They playing fast, and they got a lot of a

226
00:09:00,440 --> 00:09:02,319
Speaker 5: lot of guys find around. They're playing with some energy

227
00:09:02,360 --> 00:09:04,400
Speaker 5: as well. Like last week, could see they had that energy.

228
00:09:04,440 --> 00:09:07,480
Speaker 5: They came out with that moxie. So, uh, something similar

229
00:09:07,559 --> 00:09:09,160
Speaker 5: that we see each and every week, Like guys have

230
00:09:09,200 --> 00:09:10,880
Speaker 5: guys that can play at a high level. They got

231
00:09:10,920 --> 00:09:13,880
Speaker 5: two good corners. You know, they got safety roaming. It's

232
00:09:13,960 --> 00:09:16,079
Speaker 5: just uh, I just say that that good team football.

233
00:09:16,120 --> 00:09:17,480
Speaker 5: You can kind of see it around there. And that's

234
00:09:17,480 --> 00:09:20,079
Speaker 5: what turnovers coming bunches like they don't just come one

235
00:09:20,200 --> 00:09:22,720
Speaker 5: or the spurts like once you get one at usy

236
00:09:23,120 --> 00:09:25,640
Speaker 5: usually traveling bunches. So you got to protect the ball.

237
00:09:25,720 --> 00:09:27,560
Speaker 5: And you know, we we're working on that. We're doing

238
00:09:27,600 --> 00:09:29,719
Speaker 5: that each and every week. So it's gonna be a

239
00:09:29,800 --> 00:09:30,440
Speaker 5: nice test for us.

240
00:09:30,559 --> 00:09:32,440
Speaker 2: You've been on a lot of teams in your career.

241
00:09:32,600 --> 00:09:36,080
Speaker 4: How does a good team find consistency weekend and week out?

242
00:09:36,120 --> 00:09:38,120
Speaker 3: As the season gets further and further on.

243
00:09:38,240 --> 00:09:40,920
Speaker 5: I hate to say it, but it's experience like going

244
00:09:40,960 --> 00:09:43,280
Speaker 5: out there. You know, I've been a part of teams

245
00:09:43,280 --> 00:09:45,640
Speaker 5: that started off hot and fizzled out, saying I've been

246
00:09:45,720 --> 00:09:47,400
Speaker 5: part of teams that, you know, kind of figured it

247
00:09:47,400 --> 00:09:48,160
Speaker 5: out in the beginning.

248
00:09:49,440 --> 00:09:50,680
Speaker 4: This team is just no different.

249
00:09:50,679 --> 00:09:52,240
Speaker 5: Like I've been on some teams where though they were

250
00:09:52,280 --> 00:09:54,360
Speaker 5: competitive and we kind of figured it out. It took

251
00:09:54,400 --> 00:09:56,240
Speaker 5: some while, it took some time, but we figured it out.

252
00:09:56,280 --> 00:09:58,800
Speaker 5: So uh, kind of credit to just you know, having

253
00:09:58,800 --> 00:10:01,880
Speaker 5: that experience. That's why say these losses become with valuable lessons.

254
00:10:01,880 --> 00:10:03,800
Speaker 5: Like we were in all those games. We were competitive

255
00:10:03,840 --> 00:10:05,199
Speaker 5: and we could easily be sitting at three and no

256
00:10:05,280 --> 00:10:07,719
Speaker 5: we're not, what I'm saying, granted, but that gives us.

257
00:10:07,640 --> 00:10:09,120
Speaker 2: A lot to look forward to, a lot to work on.

258
00:10:09,240 --> 00:10:11,640
Speaker 5: I feel like we can learn from these losses that

259
00:10:11,679 --> 00:10:13,439
Speaker 5: will help us later on in a year. What I'm

260
00:10:13,440 --> 00:10:15,840
Speaker 5: saying like, if some of these things don't get addressed early,

261
00:10:16,120 --> 00:10:21,920
Speaker 5: you can kind of fall into the travel happening against

262
00:10:22,280 --> 00:10:23,959
Speaker 5: all the balls getting spread around. You know, I'm saying

263
00:10:23,960 --> 00:10:25,000
Speaker 5: you can kind of look at it as far as

264
00:10:25,040 --> 00:10:27,360
Speaker 5: like the numbers you know, we got players, we got playmakers,

265
00:10:27,360 --> 00:10:29,120
Speaker 5: We got guys that can play at a very high level.

266
00:10:29,160 --> 00:10:31,240
Speaker 5: So I try not to give it too much, Like

267
00:10:31,600 --> 00:10:33,360
Speaker 5: you know, you want to give guys some grace. I'm saying,

268
00:10:33,360 --> 00:10:35,760
Speaker 5: we're still some young guys, still a young team, so

269
00:10:36,920 --> 00:10:39,000
Speaker 5: growing pains. What I'm saying, things gonna happen out there.

270
00:10:39,080 --> 00:10:40,840
Speaker 5: I'm saying, you gotta come of just roll with the punches,

271
00:10:40,840 --> 00:10:43,240
Speaker 5: like I've seen it for a long time. Uh, it's

272
00:10:43,280 --> 00:10:44,760
Speaker 5: still early, you know what I'm saying. You can look

273
00:10:44,760 --> 00:10:46,520
Speaker 5: at the top guys in the league right now. What

274
00:10:46,520 --> 00:10:48,800
Speaker 5: I'm saying, they I'm pretty sure they're trying to get

275
00:10:48,800 --> 00:10:51,160
Speaker 5: the ball just as much as everybody else. So it's

276
00:10:51,200 --> 00:10:52,719
Speaker 5: just you gotta you gotta roll with the punches. I

277
00:10:52,720 --> 00:10:54,560
Speaker 5: think it would be just fine. We got guys that

278
00:10:54,559 --> 00:10:56,600
Speaker 5: can play at a high level. So what I'm saying,

279
00:10:56,720 --> 00:10:57,480
Speaker 5: just take what come with it.

280
00:10:57,720 --> 00:11:00,640
Speaker 3: Steal about your own experience and one point, you were

281
00:11:00,640 --> 00:11:01,240
Speaker 3: a rookie too.

282
00:11:01,400 --> 00:11:03,520
Speaker 7: What have you seen so far from Kyle and from

283
00:11:03,559 --> 00:11:05,400
Speaker 7: Fting and how they can contributed.

284
00:11:05,600 --> 00:11:08,600
Speaker 5: I talked to those guys like h towards the beginning

285
00:11:08,600 --> 00:11:10,520
Speaker 5: of the season. What I'm saying, because I had a

286
00:11:10,520 --> 00:11:13,079
Speaker 5: little bit of a different experience, like well, a little

287
00:11:13,080 --> 00:11:15,120
Speaker 5: bit different but somewhat similar. Like my rookie year, I

288
00:11:15,120 --> 00:11:16,880
Speaker 5: had a good ass camp and I was telling them

289
00:11:16,920 --> 00:11:19,000
Speaker 5: to me, they had a good camp, and let that

290
00:11:19,080 --> 00:11:20,920
Speaker 5: be just that you had a good camp going roll

291
00:11:21,000 --> 00:11:23,080
Speaker 5: into the season with the same mindset of working equally

292
00:11:23,120 --> 00:11:25,840
Speaker 5: as hard. I didn't play that first three games in

293
00:11:25,880 --> 00:11:27,680
Speaker 5: my season. I'm saying I was in the sweat suits.

294
00:11:28,320 --> 00:11:30,600
Speaker 5: Kyle was fortunate enough he's being out there mixing up

295
00:11:30,600 --> 00:11:32,080
Speaker 5: a little bit, but I didn't play at all. I

296
00:11:32,080 --> 00:11:34,040
Speaker 5: had some flower season the gatorad, you know what I'm saying.

297
00:11:34,080 --> 00:11:36,280
Speaker 5: So I watched a lot of football, so I kind

298
00:11:36,320 --> 00:11:37,520
Speaker 5: of look at it as and I kind of give

299
00:11:37,559 --> 00:11:40,000
Speaker 5: them my little gyms of just staying at it each

300
00:11:40,000 --> 00:11:41,720
Speaker 5: and every day, kind of don't get lost in it

301
00:11:41,760 --> 00:11:43,600
Speaker 5: because you don't never know when your opportunity is.

302
00:11:43,640 --> 00:11:45,800
Speaker 2: So I give him the information that I got.

303
00:11:46,280 --> 00:11:47,880
Speaker 4: And I've always I've been in a hard spot like

304
00:11:47,920 --> 00:11:48,520
Speaker 4: that before.

305
00:11:48,280 --> 00:11:49,920
Speaker 2: Where you're not playing, you're going to play. You know

306
00:11:49,960 --> 00:11:50,320
Speaker 2: what I'm saying.

307
00:11:50,320 --> 00:11:52,000
Speaker 5: Those guys are hungry and they work their ass off,

308
00:11:52,000 --> 00:11:54,280
Speaker 5: so I completely understand. But what I'm saying, you got

309
00:11:54,320 --> 00:11:55,080
Speaker 5: to eat a swinging play.

310
00:11:55,679 --> 00:11:57,959
Speaker 1: Do you talk to a guy like big first game

311
00:11:58,040 --> 00:11:59,560
Speaker 1: and probably not the targets he would have.

312
00:11:59,480 --> 00:12:01,640
Speaker 4: Desire to kind of advice.

313
00:12:01,360 --> 00:12:03,319
Speaker 2: To keep it, just keep going. You know, I'm saying,

314

Speaker 7: signment sound. It takes all leave it you no matter what,

375
00:14:16,760 --> 00:14:18,840

00:14:50,880 --> 00:14:52,320
Speaker 7: alone and let's just get back to it.

392
00:14:52,760 --> 00:14:53,880
Speaker 2: Things are gonna happen all the time.

393
00:14:53,920 --> 00:14:56,040
Speaker 7: Man, this is our you know, it's it's about growing

394
00:14:56,080 --> 00:14:58,920
Speaker 7: as a person, growing as a professional, and moving forward.

395
00:14:59,120 --> 00:15:02,440
Speaker 2: Worrian, what's your impress in this? Panthers great? You know fast,

396
00:15:02,960 --> 00:15:05,000
Speaker 2: They've always been a great staple on.

397
00:15:04,960 --> 00:15:05,480
Speaker 1: The D line.

398
00:15:05,560 --> 00:15:07,760
Speaker 2: You know, they got Derrick Brown's a couple of other

399
00:15:07,760 --> 00:15:08,400
Speaker 2: guys out there.

400
00:15:08,440 --> 00:15:10,600
Speaker 7: And so when our focus is just to control, we

401
00:15:10,640 --> 00:15:12,240
Speaker 7: can control and go out there and do do what

402
00:15:12,280 --> 00:15:12,680
Speaker 7: we need to do.

403
00:15:14,120 --> 00:15:16,880
Speaker 2: The mistakes aside. How encouraging you to put this office

404
00:15:16,880 --> 00:15:22,040
Speaker 2: because you are to stay the drive and DREI you know,

405
00:15:22,040 --> 00:15:23,400
Speaker 2: at the end of the day, it doesn't mean anything.

406
00:15:23,480 --> 00:15:25,320
Speaker 2: We don't put points on the board. So moving up

407
00:15:25,360 --> 00:15:25,720
Speaker 2: in the field.

408
00:15:25,760 --> 00:15:28,000
Speaker 7: That's all good and dandy, but you know, you want

409
00:15:28,000 --> 00:15:29,600
Speaker 7: to leave with with with some type of points on

410
00:15:29,600 --> 00:15:31,360
Speaker 7: the board. And so that's some things that we we

411
00:15:31,440 --> 00:15:32,920
Speaker 7: have to correct for ourselves. And we got to be

412
00:15:32,920 --> 00:15:35,360
Speaker 7: better when it's clutch time. So we're gonna look at

413
00:15:35,360 --> 00:15:37,960
Speaker 7: that and we're gonna get better individually and then collectively.

414
00:15:40,160 --> 00:15:40,440
Speaker 3: Thanks for
