1
00:00:00,920 --> 00:00:03,240
Speaker 1: Hey, Jjia, who are you man? I'm good. How are

2
00:00:03,279 --> 00:00:10,040
Speaker 1: you doing? Before you finished, I can't hear anything you

3
00:00:10,119 --> 00:00:15,400
Speaker 1: say it right now? How about now? I got you? Okay?

4
00:00:15,400 --> 00:00:16,720
Speaker 1: All right, It's good to see you are good talker

5
00:00:16,760 --> 00:00:18,720
Speaker 1: to Thanks for the head zone. I didn't want to

6
00:00:18,720 --> 00:00:22,480
Speaker 1: do that any longer than I had to. I than

7
00:00:22,560 --> 00:00:26,000
Speaker 1: has been really complimentary of you the last few weeks,

8
00:00:26,200 --> 00:00:29,040
Speaker 1: and I'm sure that has to feel good. But what

9
00:00:29,120 --> 00:00:30,800
Speaker 1: do you think when he describes you as a hell

10
00:00:30,840 --> 00:00:32,960
Speaker 1: of a runner and talking about your balance in your game?

11
00:00:33,280 --> 00:00:35,279
Speaker 1: What about the leap that you've made from last year

12
00:00:35,320 --> 00:00:36,920
Speaker 1: to this year? Do you think just kind of driving

13
00:00:36,920 --> 00:00:39,080
Speaker 1: that praise from your coach whose words mean a lot.

14
00:00:40,960 --> 00:00:44,839
Speaker 1: I mean, I guess yeah, you can say that. I've

15
00:00:44,880 --> 00:00:47,560
Speaker 1: just been m you know, trying to improve from last

16
00:00:47,640 --> 00:00:50,920
Speaker 1: year and trying to improve in every aspect of my game,

17
00:00:51,000 --> 00:00:54,000
Speaker 1: and I feel like I'm I'm doing a better job

18
00:00:54,000 --> 00:00:57,880
Speaker 1: than I did last year overall, so I feel like

19
00:00:57,920 --> 00:01:00,840
Speaker 1: it's working out for me. When you looked at the

20
00:01:00,880 --> 00:01:04,399
Speaker 1: film of the Eagles game, I know, any game holds true,

21
00:01:04,480 --> 00:01:06,000
Speaker 1: some things you could have done better, if some things

22
00:01:06,000 --> 00:01:08,760
Speaker 1: were good. But in both of those areas, what stood

23
00:01:08,760 --> 00:01:11,840
Speaker 1: out to you about your performance down in Philly. I

24
00:01:11,880 --> 00:01:16,120
Speaker 1: guess just the mental aspect of the game I played. Um,

25
00:01:16,160 --> 00:01:19,440
Speaker 1: I played and played by the rules and and you know,

26
00:01:19,760 --> 00:01:22,080
Speaker 1: understood my keys and the things that I had to do,

27
00:01:22,440 --> 00:01:24,920
Speaker 1: and I just stuck to it and the risks, you know,

28
00:01:25,040 --> 00:01:28,120
Speaker 1: works out in its own ways. What's an example of

29
00:01:28,120 --> 00:01:29,480
Speaker 1: playing by the rules. I know you didn't, you know,

30
00:01:29,560 --> 00:01:31,440
Speaker 1: run out of bounds on purpose or swing your helmet

31
00:01:31,440 --> 00:01:33,800
Speaker 1: and anybody, what are you? What are you talking about there? Like? Um,

32
00:01:34,000 --> 00:01:38,160
Speaker 1: you know, um standing in the lanes, reading your keys,

33
00:01:38,319 --> 00:01:40,399
Speaker 1: reading the blocks the way you're supposed to, and just

34
00:01:40,560 --> 00:01:45,160
Speaker 1: you know, play playing as the coaches, Uh, you'll want

35
00:01:45,200 --> 00:01:48,080
Speaker 1: from us. I thanks JJ, I appreciate man. Thank you

36
00:01:48,120 --> 00:01:54,000
Speaker 1: appreciate it. Next question, Ben Vollen he JJ, thanks for

37
00:01:54,000 --> 00:01:57,760
Speaker 1: doing this today. Oh you sir? What was your rookie year? Like?

38
00:01:57,840 --> 00:01:59,880
Speaker 1: I mean, you're trying to learn the NFL and make

39
00:02:00,080 --> 00:02:03,200
Speaker 1: team as an undrafted guy. Meanwhile everyone's in maths. You

40
00:02:03,320 --> 00:02:05,960
Speaker 1: got these weird COVID protocols. Just what was that rookie

41
00:02:06,040 --> 00:02:12,000
Speaker 1: year like for you? Personally? Rookie year was very stressful. Um,

42
00:02:12,120 --> 00:02:15,799
Speaker 1: we didn't have any opportunity to come in early had

43
00:02:15,919 --> 00:02:18,600
Speaker 1: no opportunity to meet any of the guys. Everything was

44
00:02:18,680 --> 00:02:21,840
Speaker 1: virtual and it was a it was a rough transition,

45
00:02:21,919 --> 00:02:24,840
Speaker 1: but it taught It taught me and I'm pretty sure

46
00:02:24,840 --> 00:02:29,320
Speaker 1: it taught taught me more than um, more than I

47
00:02:29,360 --> 00:02:33,720
Speaker 1: can ask for. And so what's um? What's it like

48
00:02:33,840 --> 00:02:35,640
Speaker 1: this year? Does it feel more normal? Do you feel

49
00:02:35,680 --> 00:02:38,359
Speaker 1: more you know, comfortable in the situation there? Yes, sir,

50
00:02:38,840 --> 00:02:42,200
Speaker 1: I do. It feels more like a regular football again,

51
00:02:42,880 --> 00:02:46,400
Speaker 1: you know, being around the guys, being able to be

52
00:02:46,440 --> 00:02:50,919
Speaker 1: around the teammates and practice and come together and it

53
00:02:50,919 --> 00:02:55,120
Speaker 1: just feels it feels normal. Who have you grown close with?

54
00:02:55,639 --> 00:02:58,839
Speaker 1: Uh this year? Especially being able to see guys more.

55
00:02:58,880 --> 00:03:01,720
Speaker 1: You know a lot of a lot of the running backs,

56
00:03:01,760 --> 00:03:04,840
Speaker 1: you know, we it's a tight unit back there, and

57
00:03:05,040 --> 00:03:09,560
Speaker 1: uh run run closely to them, learning from them, Uh,

58
00:03:09,919 --> 00:03:12,240
Speaker 1: getting a lot of different perspectives from each and every

59
00:03:12,240 --> 00:03:14,920
Speaker 1: one of them. So those are those are the guys

60
00:03:14,960 --> 00:03:18,799
Speaker 1: that I've can say I've grown close to? How last one?

61
00:03:18,840 --> 00:03:21,320
Speaker 1: For me? How were some of the veterans like Sony

62
00:03:21,639 --> 00:03:24,240
Speaker 1: Um and Damian how how were they able to help

63
00:03:24,240 --> 00:03:26,320
Speaker 1: you get through your rookie year last year? Oh? Yeah,

64
00:03:26,400 --> 00:03:29,960
Speaker 1: they were? They were each one of them played a

65
00:03:30,000 --> 00:03:32,240
Speaker 1: big part, actually a lot, a lot of all the

66
00:03:32,280 --> 00:03:35,120
Speaker 1: running backs played a big part and the transition and

67
00:03:35,240 --> 00:03:37,280
Speaker 1: making it through last year, and they helped out a

68
00:03:37,280 --> 00:03:42,520
Speaker 1: lot mentally. And you know, I can I can only

69
00:03:42,520 --> 00:03:46,080
Speaker 1: give them thanks and praise for that. Cool thanks yea.

70
00:03:47,840 --> 00:03:54,000
Speaker 1: Next question Chris Mason, Hey, jj um, I've just noticed

71
00:03:54,080 --> 00:03:56,600
Speaker 1: you catching punts this summer with Gunner. I'm just wondering

72
00:03:56,640 --> 00:03:58,440
Speaker 1: where your comfort level is with that right now, because

73
00:03:58,480 --> 00:04:00,440
Speaker 1: I know it's something you didn't do a ton of college.

74
00:04:01,720 --> 00:04:04,000
Speaker 1: You know it just doing what the coach ask I

75
00:04:04,120 --> 00:04:08,560
Speaker 1: ask of you to do, and and knowing that you

76
00:04:08,640 --> 00:04:11,520
Speaker 1: know this is the NFL. They tell you to do something,

77
00:04:11,520 --> 00:04:13,920
Speaker 1: you got to do it, and then he better learn

78
00:04:14,000 --> 00:04:18,520
Speaker 1: how to get comfortable with it. So it's just stack

79
00:04:18,640 --> 00:04:23,240
Speaker 1: up the days and it gets better. Do you feel

80
00:04:23,240 --> 00:04:24,960
Speaker 1: like you're getting more comfortable with it, more reps you

81
00:04:25,000 --> 00:04:27,000
Speaker 1: get back there? Oh yes, sir, I can say I'm

82
00:04:27,040 --> 00:04:29,960
Speaker 1: getting a lot more comfortable with it. And what's it

83
00:04:30,000 --> 00:04:33,720
Speaker 1: like Having Troy Brown as a resource there is great.

84
00:04:33,800 --> 00:04:38,280
Speaker 1: He's a he's a good coach, good guy. Having him

85
00:04:38,279 --> 00:04:41,440
Speaker 1: back there to teach you, um, just how to set

86
00:04:41,520 --> 00:04:44,320
Speaker 1: up on balls, how to how to read things, and

87
00:04:44,440 --> 00:04:52,000
Speaker 1: it's uh, it's great information, especially from him. So thanks

88
00:04:52,040 --> 00:04:57,880
Speaker 1: J Jack, Thank you and Andrew Tallahan and j J.

89
00:04:58,000 --> 00:04:59,880
Speaker 1: Does it look like to you Troy can still return

90
00:04:59,880 --> 00:05:01,640
Speaker 1: it couple of punts, because that's how it looks that

91
00:05:01,720 --> 00:05:04,560
Speaker 1: dude is in some shape. Yeah, Troy, Troy can do

92
00:05:04,600 --> 00:05:07,440
Speaker 1: it all. I'll tell you that right now. But no,

93
00:05:07,560 --> 00:05:09,160
Speaker 1: I feel like he can go back there and still

94
00:05:09,160 --> 00:05:11,680
Speaker 1: do it to this day. Yeah. And then we talked

95
00:05:11,680 --> 00:05:14,880
Speaker 1: about camp all the time, about making you improvements in progress. Um,

96
00:05:15,040 --> 00:05:16,719
Speaker 1: so you know there's more work to be done. But

97
00:05:17,080 --> 00:05:20,120
Speaker 1: what's your proudest moment so far the progress you've made

98
00:05:20,160 --> 00:05:21,919
Speaker 1: in the last month here, either in practice or a

99
00:05:21,920 --> 00:05:30,360
Speaker 1: preseason game shoot. I think my proudest moment is still

100
00:05:30,400 --> 00:05:33,000
Speaker 1: being on the team, still being able to get the

101
00:05:33,080 --> 00:05:37,760
Speaker 1: chance to work with the guys, and just being here

102
00:05:37,880 --> 00:05:41,680
Speaker 1: to be honest like it. So the biggest news for

103
00:05:41,760 --> 00:05:43,240
Speaker 1: us is I'm sure it was for you today was

104
00:05:43,279 --> 00:05:45,480
Speaker 1: also you didn't see or get to hear camp because

105
00:05:45,480 --> 00:05:47,720
Speaker 1: obviously he's out. Just what was your reaction when you

106
00:05:47,760 --> 00:05:49,400
Speaker 1: found out the camp's not gonna be with the team

107
00:05:49,440 --> 00:05:54,719
Speaker 1: for the next few days. Uh, it's it's football. Things happen,

108
00:05:55,080 --> 00:05:57,960
Speaker 1: and just go out there and play
