1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:03,080
Speaker 1: I'm curious, You've now spent all of last year with

2
00:00:03,160 --> 00:00:06,840
Speaker 1: Daniel Drum and all of this training camp with him. Um,

3
00:00:06,920 --> 00:00:08,760
Speaker 1: where is the area where you've seen him kind of

4
00:00:08,800 --> 00:00:12,360
Speaker 1: improved the most? And you know what, what are the

5
00:00:12,400 --> 00:00:15,560
Speaker 1: expectations as far as him this year? How high can

6
00:00:15,600 --> 00:00:20,239
Speaker 1: those expectations? I mean, I think the biggest air grow

7
00:00:20,360 --> 00:00:22,160
Speaker 1: for him is just I think he's taking a big

8
00:00:22,160 --> 00:00:25,440
Speaker 1: step from year one year too as far as just um,

9
00:00:25,440 --> 00:00:27,880
Speaker 1: you know, command, and that comes with you know, obviously

10
00:00:28,120 --> 00:00:30,200
Speaker 1: coming into a new system this year, you know, learning

11
00:00:30,200 --> 00:00:32,680
Speaker 1: and getting it down. But I think one thing that

12
00:00:32,680 --> 00:00:34,400
Speaker 1: I grew as a season one all last year was

13
00:00:34,440 --> 00:00:36,479
Speaker 1: his command and I think he's continued to build on

14
00:00:36,520 --> 00:00:38,600
Speaker 1: that this year as far as his command of the huddle,

15
00:00:39,080 --> 00:00:41,199
Speaker 1: UM at the line of scrimm is being sure of himself,

16
00:00:41,280 --> 00:00:43,800
Speaker 1: being assertive. UM. I think he's done a great job

17
00:00:43,880 --> 00:00:47,360
Speaker 1: of also developing his leadership skills as well. Has there

18
00:00:47,360 --> 00:00:50,000
Speaker 1: been a moment during this summer or anytime during this

19
00:00:50,080 --> 00:00:51,760
Speaker 1: off season, like when you guys were just zooming or

20
00:00:51,760 --> 00:00:54,160
Speaker 1: working out together where you thought, Okay, he's really a

21
00:00:54,720 --> 00:00:59,200
Speaker 1: leadership role when he's really taking command of this team? UM,

22
00:00:59,240 --> 00:01:00,920
Speaker 1: I mean yeah, here. I mean it's kind of a

23
00:01:00,960 --> 00:01:03,360
Speaker 1: little bit tougher over zoom and stuff like that. But

24
00:01:03,440 --> 00:01:05,720
Speaker 1: I mean, um, I definitely think he's one of those

25
00:01:05,720 --> 00:01:08,640
Speaker 1: people that doesn't always have to He has great presence,

26
00:01:09,080 --> 00:01:11,640
Speaker 1: you know. I think even if um, you know, he's

27
00:01:11,640 --> 00:01:14,040
Speaker 1: not necessarily the loudest guy in the room or whatever

28
00:01:14,120 --> 00:01:16,160
Speaker 1: at the time. UM, I think he has a great

29
00:01:16,160 --> 00:01:18,400
Speaker 1: presence and he always says the right things at the

30
00:01:18,480 --> 00:01:21,560
Speaker 1: right time. If you have you guys have a game now,

31
00:01:21,640 --> 00:01:24,080
Speaker 1: and uh less than a week and a half, How

32
00:01:24,160 --> 00:01:27,679
Speaker 1: how ready are you? Um? I feel good. I think

33
00:01:27,680 --> 00:01:29,440
Speaker 1: it's been a think has been a good camp. Thing,

34
00:01:29,480 --> 00:01:32,240
Speaker 1: has been a productive camp. Um that we're putting a

35
00:01:32,240 --> 00:01:33,800
Speaker 1: lot of hard work and made a lot of great

36
00:01:33,840 --> 00:01:36,600
Speaker 1: strides as a team, and um, you know, I'm just

37
00:01:36,640 --> 00:01:39,520
Speaker 1: looking forward to, uh, you know, eventually playing on Monday night.

38
00:01:40,600 --> 00:01:43,680
Speaker 1: It seemed like you and Daniel, Um I really had

39
00:01:43,680 --> 00:01:46,600
Speaker 1: a good day yesterday in practice today. Yeah, obviously today

40
00:01:46,680 --> 00:01:49,760
Speaker 1: was the speed that it was at that. Uh. Do

41
00:01:49,800 --> 00:01:52,200
Speaker 1: you feel like that's gonna carry into the season, the

42
00:01:52,480 --> 00:01:54,600
Speaker 1: connection between you two and you can pick it up

43
00:01:54,640 --> 00:01:57,720
Speaker 1: right where you left with last year. Yeah, definitely, I

44
00:01:57,720 --> 00:02:00,120
Speaker 1: think it's so tremendously this year that you know, I've

45
00:02:00,120 --> 00:02:02,320
Speaker 1: been I've been healthy pretty much all the camp, so

46
00:02:02,800 --> 00:02:04,760
Speaker 1: You've had the opportunity to get these reps in the

47
00:02:04,840 --> 00:02:07,960
Speaker 1: preseason that we didn't necessarily have last year. So I

48
00:02:08,040 --> 00:02:10,800
Speaker 1: definitely think it will be something that will be tremendously

49
00:02:10,800 --> 00:02:20,320
Speaker 1: helpful going into season this year. Thank you, Pattie. Hey Darius,

50
00:02:20,320 --> 00:02:23,760
Speaker 1: how you doing good? How are you good? Thanks? I

51
00:02:23,800 --> 00:02:26,520
Speaker 1: wanted to ask you about your personal development. Where do

52
00:02:26,560 --> 00:02:29,200
Speaker 1: you feel that you have made the biggest leap forward

53
00:02:29,280 --> 00:02:33,000
Speaker 1: from last year to the start of this year. Um,

54
00:02:33,040 --> 00:02:36,399
Speaker 1: this offseason I really tried to focus on, uh specifically

55
00:02:36,440 --> 00:02:39,880
Speaker 1: like route breaks and also just um, you know, obviously

56
00:02:40,160 --> 00:02:43,320
Speaker 1: you catch the ball as a receiver or whatever, but um,

57
00:02:43,360 --> 00:02:45,600
Speaker 1: you know lead receivers, you know they run through the ball.

58
00:02:45,720 --> 00:02:47,480
Speaker 1: We are able to catch the ball and keep their

59
00:02:47,560 --> 00:02:50,959
Speaker 1: legs on on the move while they're catching it. So, UM,

60
00:02:50,960 --> 00:02:52,760
Speaker 1: that was two things I really tried to focus on

61
00:02:52,760 --> 00:02:55,000
Speaker 1: this offseason and two things that I think I've improved on.

62
00:02:56,240 --> 00:02:58,720
Speaker 1: And without getting you too specifics as to your role,

63
00:02:58,919 --> 00:03:02,320
Speaker 1: how much more response ability does this offense in general

64
00:03:02,560 --> 00:03:07,200
Speaker 1: put on each of you guys? Um, I wouldn't say

65
00:03:07,200 --> 00:03:09,960
Speaker 1: it puts any more or any less. I mean, I think, um,

66
00:03:10,040 --> 00:03:12,440
Speaker 1: ultimately the offense is geared to where everybody's gonna have

67
00:03:12,440 --> 00:03:14,240
Speaker 1: the opportunity to get the ball in their hands and

68
00:03:14,320 --> 00:03:16,840
Speaker 1: make plays, and ultimately it will be up to um

69
00:03:17,200 --> 00:03:18,720
Speaker 1: all of us to make the place from the ball

70
00:03:18,760 --> 00:03:26,400
Speaker 1: comes our way. Thank you Jordan's Darius. How different has

71
00:03:26,560 --> 00:03:28,640
Speaker 1: this summer been for you? Like last summer, you know,

72
00:03:28,680 --> 00:03:31,040
Speaker 1: you're coming in, you're you're trying to prove yourself and then,

73
00:03:31,040 --> 00:03:34,119
Speaker 1: like you said, you weren't healthy the whole time. Now

74
00:03:34,200 --> 00:03:36,240
Speaker 1: you come in, you know, you're you're running with the

75
00:03:36,280 --> 00:03:38,920
Speaker 1: ones a lot of the time. Your expectations for you

76
00:03:38,960 --> 00:03:47,400
Speaker 1: are signific significantly greater. What's that been like for you? Um,

77
00:03:47,440 --> 00:03:49,120
Speaker 1: I mean, like I said earlier, mean, it's been a

78
00:03:49,160 --> 00:03:52,480
Speaker 1: lot different because I mean, to some degree, UM, I

79
00:03:52,560 --> 00:03:56,480
Speaker 1: kind of didn't go through training camp last year, you know, so, Um,

80
00:03:56,600 --> 00:03:59,800
Speaker 1: to some degree this was kind of my first training campus.

81
00:04:00,000 --> 00:04:02,320
Speaker 1: Are is feeling the grind of it physically on my

82
00:04:02,360 --> 00:04:06,280
Speaker 1: body as well as mentally. But you know, I think

83
00:04:06,680 --> 00:04:08,680
Speaker 1: I think I just kind of took the approach of

84
00:04:08,720 --> 00:04:10,320
Speaker 1: you know, I think I still have a lot to prove,

85
00:04:10,400 --> 00:04:12,920
Speaker 1: so you know, I don't really think that because of

86
00:04:12,960 --> 00:04:14,640
Speaker 1: my year last year, you know that anything is gonna

87
00:04:14,640 --> 00:04:16,479
Speaker 1: be given to me or anything like that. You know,

88
00:04:16,560 --> 00:04:18,320
Speaker 1: I still have a lot to prove and you know,

89
00:04:18,400 --> 00:04:19,920
Speaker 1: trying to work hard every day to get better.
