Speaker 3: And you know, putting the face to a name.

15
00:00:34,000 --> 00:00:36,280
Speaker 1: But it's it has to be a little different, right,

16
00:00:36,280 --> 00:00:38,240
Speaker 1: I Mean it's the first new team that you're joining

17
00:00:38,240 --> 00:00:40,720
Speaker 1: in the league, so you you knew everybody that you

18
00:00:40,840 --> 00:00:44,240
Speaker 1: were with in Miami. I mean, once you established your impression,

19
00:00:44,760 --> 00:00:46,680
Speaker 1: people knew who you were. You know, they knew the

20
00:00:46,680 --> 00:00:50,000
Speaker 1: type of player you were. Is it any different coming

21
00:00:50,000 --> 00:00:52,280
Speaker 1: to a new team like this, where you know you

22
00:00:52,360 --> 00:00:54,600
Speaker 1: want you know, people have watched you for years, so

23
00:00:54,640 --> 00:00:57,000
Speaker 1: they already have opinions of who you are as a

24
00:00:57,000 --> 00:00:58,400
Speaker 1: player and a person.

25
00:00:59,040 --> 00:00:59,319
Speaker 4: You know.

26
00:00:59,600 --> 00:01:01,600
Speaker 2: I mean it might be it might be for them,

27
00:01:01,720 --> 00:01:03,400
Speaker 2: it might be for them, but for me, it's the

28
00:01:03,480 --> 00:01:05,480
Speaker 2: same as meeting somebody for the first time. You know,

29
00:01:05,680 --> 00:01:08,319
Speaker 2: whether they're impression of me is something and and I'm

30
00:01:08,360 --> 00:01:10,360
Speaker 2: different than what they thought, or their impression of me

31
00:01:10,480 --> 00:01:13,760
Speaker 2: is exactly who I am. They're gonna get to know me,

32
00:01:13,800 --> 00:01:15,720
Speaker 2: and I'm gonna meet them the same way as I

33
00:01:15,760 --> 00:01:18,640
Speaker 2: meet any other strangers, just with a handshaking and saying

34
00:01:18,680 --> 00:01:22,440

97
00:03:55,840 --> 00:03:58,040
Speaker 8: I was just curious about what you kind of wanted

102
00:04:08,360 --> 00:04:12,000
Speaker 2: Okay, Yeah, yeah, you know, I think, uh, I think

103
00:04:12,000 --> 00:04:14,440
Speaker 2: I've been in a lot of different systems in my career,

104
00:04:15,840 --> 00:04:18,880
Speaker 2: and it's not necessarily that I like one more than

105
00:04:18,880 --> 00:04:20,880
Speaker 2: the other. It's just about you know, the flow of

106
00:04:20,880 --> 00:04:23,880
Speaker 2: the team, the personnel who we have, uh, that kind

107
00:04:23,920 --> 00:04:25,919
Speaker 2: of fits around how I want to be able to

108
00:04:25,920 --> 00:04:29,240
Speaker 2: help and where we need help at. So I wouldn't

109
00:04:29,279 --> 00:04:31,600
Speaker 2: say that I'm looking for one specific role or one

110
00:04:31,640 --> 00:04:34,960
Speaker 2: specific position, but more so finding my place where I can.

Speaker 3: How are you good?

114
00:04:43,040 --> 00:04:45,599
Speaker 4: We were just speaking with Russ and he was talking

115
00:04:45,600 --> 00:04:47,760
Speaker 4: about joking with you in the locker room about how

116
00:04:47,920 --> 00:04:50,280
Speaker 4: you kind of punched out balls back in the day.

117
00:04:50,320 --> 00:04:52,440
Speaker 4: Guess what your relationship with him is like and just

118
00:04:52,440 --> 00:04:54,400
Speaker 4: getting to kind of be here with him.

119
00:04:54,720 --> 00:04:56,479
Speaker 3: No, it's it's actually it's really cool.

120
00:04:56,520 --> 00:04:58,919
Speaker 2: My mom's a big Seahawks fan, and so growing up

121
00:04:58,920 --> 00:05:00,800
Speaker 2: in the Bay Area, obviously my I played for the Niners,

122
00:05:00,800 --> 00:05:05,520
Speaker 2: so like the rivalry Crabtree and you know, Richard Sherman

123
00:05:05,800 --> 00:05:08,720
Speaker 2: and you would go to the sorry crap anyway, So

124
00:05:08,960 --> 00:05:10,960
Speaker 2: over the years, just watching Russ like his whole career

125
00:05:11,120 --> 00:05:14,800
Speaker 2: from you know, Wisconsin or Nebraska, Wisconsin from his career

126
00:05:14,960 --> 00:05:16,919
Speaker 2: and then going into the league and him just playing

127
00:05:16,960 --> 00:05:18,800
Speaker 2: and me being like me being a fan of him

128
00:05:18,839 --> 00:05:20,680
Speaker 2: and the teams that he's on, and then like all

129
00:05:20,680 --> 00:05:22,200
Speaker 2: the way up to the point where we're playing him

130
00:05:22,240 --> 00:05:24,640
Speaker 2: last year and kind of the similar similar story with

131
00:05:24,680 --> 00:05:27,840
Speaker 2: Tom Brady, like run past him and I was kind

132
00:05:27,839 --> 00:05:29,520
Speaker 2: of like, Hey, what's up Russell Wilson, Like I can't

133
00:05:29,520 --> 00:05:31,600
Speaker 2: say it, Like I was just like not saying his name,

134
00:05:31,760 --> 00:05:33,520
Speaker 2: just Russ. I was like, what's up Russell Wilson because

135
00:05:33,560 --> 00:05:36,400
Speaker 2: that's like how I've seen him. But you know, from

136
00:05:36,400 --> 00:05:38,880
Speaker 2: that point on to like now we've we've developed, you know,

137
00:05:39,080 --> 00:05:40,840
Speaker 2: just like an acquaintance relationship.

138
00:05:40,880 --> 00:05:41,880
Speaker 3: I see him in the locker room.

139
00:05:42,120 --> 00:05:43,839
Speaker 2: He knows my face, which is cool, and I know

140
00:05:43,920 --> 00:05:46,120
Speaker 2: his face obviously, Uh, say what's up?

141
00:05:46,160 --> 00:05:47,680
Speaker 3: And you know, ready to get this thing started.

142
00:05:47,680 --> 00:05:49,520
Speaker 2: But yeah, it was cool facing him last year and

143
00:05:49,560 --> 00:05:51,720
Speaker 2: like going against a quarterback that's been in the league,

144
00:05:51,760 --> 00:05:53,920
Speaker 2: has seen defenses and you know, be able to give

145
00:05:54,000 --> 00:05:56,880
Speaker 2: him some trouble and yeah, just have a competitive time.

146
00:05:58,200 --> 00:06:03,479

Speaker 9: Good good? Along those lines, I know that the Russ

149
00:06:07,040 --> 00:06:10,560
Speaker 9: and Jamis both got up, you know, Coach Gable asked

150
00:06:10,560 --> 00:06:12,400
Speaker 9: them to get up and kind of tell their stories

151
00:06:12,440 --> 00:06:14,800
Speaker 9: and their journeys. Did you learn anything? I mean, you know,

152
00:06:14,880 --> 00:06:16,520
Speaker 9: both those guys who have been in the league. Did

153
00:06:16,520 --> 00:06:18,640
Speaker 9: you learn anything from listening to them? Though I didn't

154
00:06:18,680 --> 00:06:20,000
Speaker 9: know that about them something.

155
00:06:19,760 --> 00:06:22,320
Speaker 2: Like that, Uh, I mean it was pretty brief, but

156
00:06:22,440 --> 00:06:24,520
Speaker 2: you know, just the basics of like the family and whatnot.

157
00:06:24,520 --> 00:06:26,560
Speaker 2: Obviously I didn't know specifics because I haven't been in

158
00:06:26,600 --> 00:06:29,080
Speaker 2: the room with them, but you could tell their personalities

159
00:06:29,160 --> 00:06:31,200
Speaker 2: just in the demeanor and how they spoke to the team.

160
00:06:31,080 --> 00:06:33,560
Speaker 3: And especially especially Jamis.

161
00:06:33,560 --> 00:06:35,839
Speaker 2: Like Jamis is obviously as everybody has seen as a character,

162
00:06:36,200 --> 00:06:38,120
Speaker 2: and so now being like in the locker room with

163
00:06:38,200 --> 00:06:41,039
Speaker 2: him and seeing him he's just a great dude, like

164
00:06:41,600 --> 00:06:44,920
Speaker 2: a great player, but an even better person, and so

165
00:06:45,000 --> 00:06:46,479
Speaker 2: it was. It was cool to just you know, see

166
00:06:46,520 --> 00:06:48,880
Speaker 2: their their charisma and speaking in front of the team.

167
00:06:49,279 --> 00:06:51,400
Speaker 9: Is is it different when you know, as you're still

168
00:06:51,440 --> 00:06:53,919
Speaker 9: a young player, when when you have these older quarterbacks

169
00:06:54,000 --> 00:06:56,479
Speaker 9: get up this, they just carry themselves different.

170
00:06:56,360 --> 00:06:57,200
Speaker 3: These veteran guys.

171
00:06:57,279 --> 00:06:59,280
Speaker 2: I think, Yeah, I think I'm glad you said veteran god,

172
00:06:59,279 --> 00:07:01,200
Speaker 2: because I don't think it's quarterbacks. I think it's veterans

173
00:07:01,200 --> 00:07:04,680
Speaker 2: in general that just have like a calm presence, you know,

174
00:07:04,760 --> 00:07:07,440
Speaker 2: in the midst of new things and and changes, just.

175
00:07:07,440 --> 00:07:08,520
Speaker 3: Because they've been around the block.

176
00:07:08,560 --> 00:07:10,920
Speaker 2: They've known these things that they understand how to you know,

177
00:07:10,920 --> 00:07:12,360
Speaker 2: how to go about these things, and they have a

178
00:07:12,400 --> 00:07:16,000
Speaker 2: process to do so, so as somebody who was creeping

179
00:07:16,040 --> 00:07:18,080
Speaker 2: into that range of older player.

180
00:07:18,240 --> 00:07:19,720
Speaker 3: Not to say I'm old at all because I'm only

181
00:07:19,720 --> 00:07:22,240
Speaker 3: twenty five, but I do.

182
00:07:22,360 --> 00:07:23,800
Speaker 2: I do like to say, a man, you know, I'm

183
00:07:23,840 --> 00:07:25,640
Speaker 2: getting old, man just a little bit. Just your five

184
00:07:25,720 --> 00:07:28,520
Speaker 2: is not that long, but it's kind of long. It's

185
00:07:28,560 --> 00:07:30,640
Speaker 2: cool to see their process and try to like, you know,

186
00:07:30,680 --> 00:07:32,680
Speaker 2: mimicking some of the things that they have so that

187
00:07:32,920 --> 00:07:36,840
Speaker 2: I'm also feeling comfortable and can like you know, acclimate

188
00:07:36,880 --> 00:07:38,720
Speaker 2: to the environment as quickly as they do.

189
00:07:39,440 --> 00:07:39,800
Speaker 3: Thank you.

190
00:07:39,800 --> 00:07:42,640
Speaker 9: You're not creeping into anything, by the way.

191
00:07:43,480 --> 00:07:45,720
Speaker 2: Now, yeah, running into people at full speed does age

192
00:07:45,720 --> 00:07:48,040
Speaker 2: your body a little bit, but I'll be alright, that's different.

193
00:07:48,040 --> 00:07:50,720
Speaker 3: Thanks, no problem, Love fun.

194
00:07:50,600 --> 00:07:51,080
Speaker 9: Brian.

195
00:07:52,880 --> 00:07:54,240
Speaker 3: Aji Von, thanks for doing us.

196
00:07:56,720 --> 00:07:57,640
Speaker 8: It's draft week.

197
00:07:57,920 --> 00:08:00,200
Speaker 7: If memory serves, there was a lot of talk that

198
00:08:00,280 --> 00:08:02,040
Speaker 7: you were gonna be a first round pick.

199
00:08:02,120 --> 00:08:02,960
Speaker 9: How did that?

200
00:08:03,320 --> 00:08:07,000
Speaker 7: How did not going on day one kind of light

201
00:08:07,000 --> 00:08:08,960
Speaker 7: a fire for you going into your career.

202
00:08:09,560 --> 00:08:12,960
Speaker 3: I was supposed to be a first round pick. Remember

203
00:08:13,000 --> 00:08:14,280
Speaker 3: hearing that. I'm want to be honest with that.

204
00:08:14,400 --> 00:08:15,080
Speaker 9: Did Joe Shane?

205
00:08:15,360 --> 00:08:17,640
Speaker 7: Did Joe Shane tell us like last week that the

206
00:08:17,680 --> 00:08:18,640
Speaker 7: Bills were gonna pick.

207
00:08:18,520 --> 00:08:21,040
Speaker 3: You in the first round? That's news to me, Manu.

208
00:08:21,600 --> 00:08:24,160
Speaker 2: So, I mean I I would love to have like

209
00:08:24,200 --> 00:08:26,160
Speaker 2: a motivating answer for you.

210
00:08:26,240 --> 00:08:28,120
Speaker 3: That's just like, Wow, this guy is lighting the fire

211
00:08:28,200 --> 00:08:29,040
Speaker 3: under his ass.

212
00:08:28,800 --> 00:08:31,640
Speaker 2: And he can go. But unfortunately I didn't know. I

213
00:08:31,640 --> 00:08:33,040
Speaker 2: didn't think I was going first round. I thought I

214
00:08:33,120 --> 00:08:34,679
Speaker 2: was going to like second round or something like that.

215
00:08:34,800 --> 00:08:36,559
Speaker 3: I kind of had a feeling. So my agents were

216
00:08:36,600 --> 00:08:38,240
Speaker 3: just like, yo, think second day.

217
00:08:38,280 --> 00:08:40,080
Speaker 2: If you go first day, that would be dope, but

218
00:08:40,200 --> 00:08:41,800
Speaker 2: pretty much second day, So I was like, all right, cool,

219
00:08:42,000 --> 00:08:46,560
Speaker 2: So I think I went around where I should have gone. Obviously,

220
00:08:46,600 --> 00:08:48,120
Speaker 2: there was like some speculation just because of like twenty

221
00:08:48,120 --> 00:08:49,920
Speaker 2: twenty I didn't play, but we've seen how that just

222
00:08:50,400 --> 00:08:53,840
Speaker 2: that didn't even matter. So yeah, there wasn't no like

223
00:08:54,160 --> 00:08:55,840
Speaker 2: I was supposed to go first round under that it

224
00:08:55,880 --> 00:08:58,720
Speaker 2: would have been cool, but nah, second round
