00:03:13,840 --> 00:03:16,480
Speaker 2: guys and Puka and Davante. But like you said, over

80
00:03:16,520 --> 00:03:19,680
Speaker 2: the years, there's just been so a surplus of talent

81
00:03:19,800 --> 00:03:21,600

Speaker 4: not even just receivers, and just how people go about

90
00:03:40,440 --> 00:03:43,680

Speaker 1: Donald at any point?

126
00:05:16,760 --> 00:05:18,800
Speaker 4: So I met him. I think he was in the facility,

127
00:05:18,880 --> 00:05:20,960
Speaker 4: maybe like a couple of weeks ago. I was up

128
00:05:21,000 --> 00:05:23,800
Speaker 4: here all summer. So finally got a chance to meet

129
00:05:23,839 --> 00:05:27,560
Speaker 4: him face to face. I said, I introduced myself. We

130
00:05:27,600 --> 00:05:29,640
Speaker 4: talked for a little bit, and but I used to

131
00:05:29,640 --> 00:05:31,279
Speaker 4: see him all the time in the facility when he

132
00:05:31,320 --> 00:05:33,720
Speaker 4: came back to pit, you know, working out. He got

133
00:05:33,720 --> 00:05:36,360
Speaker 4: his own locker and everything. You got to stay away

134
00:05:36,360 --> 00:05:38,720
Speaker 4: from his locker. So but now I definitely got a

135
00:05:38,800 --> 00:05:39,480
Speaker 4: chance to talk to him.

136
00:05:39,880 --> 00:05:41,720

138
00:05:43,040 --> 00:05:45,760
Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm trying to focus off being the best version

139
00:05:45,760 --> 00:05:48,200
Speaker 4: of myself, and that's a great player, and I want

140
00:05:48,240 --> 00:05:49,960
Speaker 4: to be a great player as well. So I mean

141
00:05:50,080 --> 00:05:52,279

142
00:05:52,360 --> 00:05:54,360
Speaker 4: learning and making the best of every opportunity.

145
00:05:59,080 --> 00:06:01,880

150
00:06:13,720 --> 00:06:16,400
Speaker 5: in and just listen to the calls they make and

151
00:06:16,520 --> 00:06:18,400
Speaker 5: listen to the reason he might say what I could

152
00:06:18,480 --> 00:06:21,000
Speaker 5: do this or what Pooka could do that, And you know,

153
00:06:21,160 --> 00:06:23,600
Speaker 5: just just being there, just my prisons in there, it

154
00:06:23,680 --> 00:06:25,400
Speaker 5: means a lot and just learning for those guys and

155
00:06:25,400 --> 00:06:26,120

Speaker 7: We've come out here last week and a half. I

236
00:09:41,880 --> 00:09:44,320
Speaker 7: guess you could call him and we're dominating, you know,

237
00:09:44,320 --> 00:09:47,360
Speaker 7: on both sides of all three phases, special teams, offensive defense.

238
00:09:47,400 --> 00:09:50,480
Speaker 1: We're looking great. So I got said you gott Michigan, you

239
00:09:50,480 --> 00:09:57,040
Speaker 1: got notre dame. You're a right, there's a rivalry there,

240
00:09:57,080 --> 00:09:58,480
Speaker 1: but no, Kying.

241
00:09:58,240 --> 00:10:02,040
Speaker 3: Is not your dame. Do you guys have that rivalry

242
00:10:02,080 --> 00:10:02,600
Speaker 3: in season?

243
00:10:03,000 --> 00:10:03,080
Speaker 6: Uh?

244
00:10:03,280 --> 00:10:05,559
Speaker 3: Notre Dame mis Michigan. Yeah, we have played.

245
00:10:05,920 --> 00:10:07,760
Speaker 7: We played each other in twenty nineteen before I got

246
00:10:07,800 --> 00:10:10,480
Speaker 7: to Michigan, and I don't think they're on the schedule.

247
00:10:11,120 --> 00:10:14,280
Speaker 7: I couldn't tell you. I don't think Notre Dame in

248
00:10:14,320 --> 00:10:15,640
Speaker 7: Michigan are playing for a while.

249
00:10:16,000 --> 00:10:16,920
Speaker 3: God yeah, yeah.

250
00:10:17,480 --> 00:10:21,280
Speaker 2: But so what for you, like year two, how is

251
00:10:21,320 --> 00:10:23,600
Speaker 2: that different from year one where you're coming in as

252
00:10:23,640 --> 00:10:25,560
Speaker 2: a rookie who which our question is now dealing with

253
00:10:25,840 --> 00:10:27,160
Speaker 2: all this new stuff as a rookie.

254
00:10:27,240 --> 00:10:28,800
Speaker 3: How do you feel more comfortable in your two?

255
00:10:29,240 --> 00:10:31,920
Speaker 7: The game slowed down a lot. The game slowed down

256
00:10:31,920 --> 00:10:34,960
Speaker 7: a lot for me. I feel like for me year one,

257
00:10:35,040 --> 00:10:36,840
Speaker 7: I was trying to be perfect and everything that I

258
00:10:36,880 --> 00:10:39,160
Speaker 7: did right, I didn't want to make any mistakes, you know,

259
00:10:39,160 --> 00:10:41,200
Speaker 7: I was trying to be as perfect as I possibly

260
00:10:41,240 --> 00:10:43,679
Speaker 7: could be, and that slowed me down a little bit

261
00:10:44,120 --> 00:10:47,719
Speaker 7: in terms of my capabilities. But now I'm just out there,

262
00:10:47,760 --> 00:10:50,360
Speaker 7: you know, letting it loose. You know, I'm playing at

263
00:10:50,360 --> 00:10:53,079
Speaker 7: a lower way. I feel faster, I feel more agile,

264
00:10:53,880 --> 00:10:57,280
Speaker 7: and I feel great. So really, just between that and

265
00:10:57,559 --> 00:10:59,840
Speaker 7: just everything slowing down the game slowing down.

266
00:11:00,559 --> 00:11:02,439
Speaker 3: That's that's the biggest difference.

267
00:11:02,640 --> 00:11:04,679
Speaker 1: Jock quest. For folks who aren't maybe familiar with your game,

268
00:11:04,720 --> 00:11:06,079
Speaker 1: what can people expect from you this year?

269
00:11:06,640 --> 00:11:11,800
Speaker 6: Uh, expect the I got I'm pretty down here runner,

270
00:11:11,840 --> 00:11:14,640
Speaker 6: and I got decent speed, and I gotta run people.

271
00:11:14,679 --> 00:11:17,520
Speaker 6: That's most of my game is getting bogging downhill and

272
00:11:17,679 --> 00:11:18,480
Speaker 6: I running people.

273
00:11:19,120 --> 00:11:20,360
Speaker 3: And what was it like for you?

274
00:11:20,400 --> 00:11:23,040
Speaker 2: Because we saw the excitement in the behind the scenes

275
00:11:23,320 --> 00:11:26,240
Speaker 2: from from Les Need and Sean McVay when they drafted you.

276
00:11:26,559 --> 00:11:28,160
Speaker 3: What was it like for you to watch that and

277
00:11:28,160 --> 00:11:30,040
Speaker 3: see like they were so excited to bring you here.

278
00:11:30,080 --> 00:11:31,760
Speaker 6: Oh yeah, they put a smile on my face just

279
00:11:31,800 --> 00:11:34,680
Speaker 6: seeing them how happy they was and they drafting me.

280
00:11:34,720 --> 00:11:37,199
Speaker 6: I mean, it made me and my family very happy

281
00:11:37,200 --> 00:11:39,880
Speaker 6: and very proud to see that, to see the excitement

282
00:11:39,880 --> 00:11:41,600
Speaker 6: they had on their face when they picked me.

283
00:11:43,000 --> 00:11:44,959
Speaker 1: Blake for you, you went, You played in college for

284
00:11:45,040 --> 00:11:48,400
Speaker 1: Jim Harbaugh, now you're playing for Sean McVay. Compare it contrast,

285
00:11:48,520 --> 00:11:50,560
Speaker 1: just like the personalities of those two guys.

286
00:11:50,760 --> 00:11:53,840
Speaker 7: Yeah yeah, I mean they're both great coaches.

287
00:11:54,280 --> 00:11:54,480
Speaker 1: You know.

288
00:11:54,520 --> 00:11:56,720
Speaker 3: I love playing for coach Harbor. I was at Michigan.

289
00:11:56,920 --> 00:12:00,000
Speaker 7: I love playing for coach McVay right now, the culture

290
00:12:00,080 --> 00:12:02,720
Speaker 7: he's built with the Rams, the way he taxed each

291
00:12:02,760 --> 00:12:04,680
Speaker 7: and every day, How consistent he is, you know, his

292
00:12:04,840 --> 00:12:06,320
Speaker 7: enthusiasm is love for the game.

293
00:12:06,600 --> 00:12:09,080
Speaker 3: It's amazing. And I would say that's similarities.

294
00:12:09,080 --> 00:12:11,120
Speaker 7: They're both just super consistent, you know, and you can

295
00:12:11,160 --> 00:12:12,760
Speaker 7: tell they both really enjoy the game.

296
00:12:14,080 --> 00:12:17,719
Speaker 3: You know. Coach Harball he likes you know, maybe a little.

297
00:12:17,480 --> 00:12:21,160
Speaker 7: More strict, I guess, I guess you could say where

298
00:12:21,200 --> 00:12:24,439
Speaker 7: coach McVeigh he really is a is a people's person.

299
00:12:24,440 --> 00:12:28,640
Speaker 7: He's a players coach, and he likes to have fun,

300
00:12:28,800 --> 00:12:31,160
Speaker 7: you know, and so you know, you can really relate.

301
00:12:31,240 --> 00:12:33,199
Speaker 7: You know, he's on the younger side, where coach Harball,

302
00:12:33,240 --> 00:12:35,760
Speaker 7: you know, is getting up there in age. But both

303
00:12:35,760 --> 00:12:38,319
Speaker 7: phenomenal coaches. But man, I love playing for the Rams.

304
00:12:38,559 --> 00:12:42,240
Speaker 2: And the Rams have the most member of the Michigan

305
00:12:42,360 --> 00:12:45,679
Speaker 2: National Championship team, So the most NFL players are on

306
00:12:45,720 --> 00:12:46,160
Speaker 2: the Rams.

307
00:12:46,760 --> 00:12:47,000
Speaker 3: Three.

308
00:12:47,120 --> 00:12:49,439
Speaker 5: Yeah, but the Chargers got a couple of your coaches.

309
00:12:49,600 --> 00:12:52,040
Speaker 2: Has that made the adjustment to LA easier for you

310
00:12:52,200 --> 00:12:55,120
Speaker 2: or you know, anywhere you go you would like to,

311
00:12:55,200 --> 00:12:56,480
Speaker 2: you know, have someone on the team.

312
00:12:56,640 --> 00:12:59,520
Speaker 7: You know, uh, you know that you've played with before, right,

313
00:12:59,559 --> 00:13:02,480
Speaker 7: so when first guy here, obviously they picked Josh up,

314
00:13:03,679 --> 00:13:05,120
Speaker 7: so it was like comfortable, you know, all right, I

315
00:13:05,120 --> 00:13:07,520
Speaker 7: already know someone, But I'm a people person at the

316
00:13:07,559 --> 00:13:09,280
Speaker 7: end of the day, I like building connections, you know,

317
00:13:09,320 --> 00:13:11,600
Speaker 7: I like talking to people. So you know, it really

318
00:13:11,640 --> 00:13:13,720
Speaker 7: wasn't hard for me, you know, coming here, making friends,

319
00:13:13,760 --> 00:13:16,000
Speaker 7: getting to know the guys. But you know, it's always comfortable,

320
00:13:16,040 --> 00:13:17,960
Speaker 7: you know, knowing someone that you've played with before.

321
00:13:18,400 --> 00:13:21,920
Speaker 1: Uh Jarckqus, I know you were a powerlifter. We've noticed

322
00:13:21,920 --> 00:13:25,360
Speaker 1: coach McVeigh getting kind of swollen out there. Has he

323
00:13:25,480 --> 00:13:27,679
Speaker 1: challenged you? Have you challenged him? Is there something going

324
00:13:27,679 --> 00:13:30,040
Speaker 1: on maybe like a powerlifting competition there in the locker.

325
00:13:29,920 --> 00:13:30,440
Speaker 3: Room or something.

326
00:13:31,080 --> 00:13:32,800
Speaker 1: He ain't challenged me yet. I don't think he.

327
00:13:32,800 --> 00:13:34,679
Speaker 6: Want to do that because I got I still got

328
00:13:34,679 --> 00:13:36,240
Speaker 6: the strength from high school that I had when I

329
00:13:36,320 --> 00:13:37,640
Speaker 6: was doing power edge, and so I.

330
00:13:37,559 --> 00:13:39,360
Speaker 3: Feel like he don't want to. He don't want to

331
00:13:39,360 --> 00:13:40,559
Speaker 3: do that challenge.

332
00:13:40,840 --> 00:13:41,320
Speaker 5: You just said.

333
00:13:41,360 --> 00:13:43,040
Speaker 3: He might be gearing up to play you guys.

334
00:13:43,040 --> 00:13:45,280
Speaker 2: Think can he full back full back a block for

335
00:13:45,320 --> 00:13:46,600
Speaker 2: you guys or get.

336
00:13:46,600 --> 00:13:49,320
Speaker 3: Open some holes for Yeah, he might be able to.

337
00:13:50,880 --> 00:13:52,360
Speaker 3: He's got the size. That's for sure.

338
00:13:55,000 --> 00:13:56,960
Speaker 1: So I mean, as you guys look into you know,

339
00:13:57,040 --> 00:13:59,520
Speaker 1: to this year and everything, your expectations blake for you know,

340
00:13:59,559 --> 00:14:01,920
Speaker 1: what the Rams can accomplishing. Maybe what you if you

341
00:14:01,920 --> 00:14:03,240
Speaker 1: have any personal goals for this year.

342
00:14:03,600 --> 00:14:05,120
Speaker 7: I think you know for right now, you know, we

343
00:14:05,240 --> 00:14:07,280
Speaker 7: just take it one day at the time, right you know,

344
00:14:07,520 --> 00:14:09,440
Speaker 7: you can only be where your feet are, and I

345
00:14:09,480 --> 00:14:11,640
Speaker 7: think that's our approach, you know, going into the season.

346
00:14:11,679 --> 00:14:13,000
Speaker 7: You know, we're going to take it one day at

347
00:14:13,000 --> 00:14:16,720
Speaker 7: a time, you know, keep you know, stacking days, creating blocks,

348
00:14:17,400 --> 00:14:18,520
Speaker 7: and we'll see where that goes.

349
00:14:18,559 --> 00:14:18,719
Speaker 3: You know.

350
00:14:18,760 --> 00:14:20,960
Speaker 7: Obviously you know our plan is to win, but like

351
00:14:21,040 --> 00:14:22,320
Speaker 7: I said, you have to be where your feet off

352
00:14:22,320 --> 00:14:22,920
Speaker 7: for the meantime.

353
00:14:23,000 --> 00:14:24,760
Speaker 3: So we're just going to focus on that right now.

354
00:14:24,760 --> 00:14:27,200
Speaker 7: And then you know, personal goals, just do whatever I can,

355
00:14:27,320 --> 00:14:29,080
Speaker 7: you know, to help the team win, you know, whether

356
00:14:29,120 --> 00:14:31,160
Speaker 7: that be playing, whether that be you know, breaking off

357
00:14:31,160 --> 00:14:33,520
Speaker 7: explosive plays on special teams or the running back, but

358
00:14:33,680 --> 00:14:35,960
Speaker 7: just whatever, you know, whatever I can do to make

359
00:14:36,000 --> 00:14:37,920
Speaker 7: sure you know, this team, you know, gets to where

360
00:14:37,920 --> 00:14:38,440
Speaker 7: we need to be.

361
00:14:38,800 --> 00:14:39,680
Speaker 3: That's what I'm here for.

362
00:14:40,040 --> 00:14:42,320
Speaker 2: And I always like to create some friendly robberies. And

363
00:14:42,360 --> 00:14:44,640
Speaker 2: I'm a basketball guy. So who's the best hooper in

364
00:14:44,680 --> 00:14:46,200
Speaker 2: the Rams running back rooms?

365
00:14:46,400 --> 00:14:52,320
Speaker 3: Me challenge? You can tell Shot too strong?

366
00:14:54,080 --> 00:14:54,560
Speaker 1: None of them?

367
00:14:56,320 --> 00:14:59,240
Speaker 7: Shot is too strong for me. I'm flip fluid man.

368
00:15:00,120 --> 00:15:01,600
Speaker 7: It comes off the wrist. It's like, you know, what's

369
00:15:01,600 --> 00:15:01,920
Speaker 7: going on.

370
00:15:04,000 --> 00:15:04,520
Speaker 1: I don't know if.

371
00:15:04,400 --> 00:15:13,600
Speaker 2: Anyone stopping him if he gets back to the basket. Also,

372
00:15:13,680 --> 00:15:15,760
Speaker 2: have you had like a welcome to a lay moment

373
00:15:15,840 --> 00:15:16,760
Speaker 2: yet since you've got here?

374
00:15:17,240 --> 00:15:17,600
Speaker 3: Oh?

375
00:15:18,000 --> 00:15:18,520
Speaker 1: Not really.

376
00:15:18,560 --> 00:15:19,800
Speaker 3: I don't think I had that moment yet.

377
00:15:19,800 --> 00:15:24,800
Speaker 1: I haven't seen Lebron yet. I gotta ask you, Blake,

378
00:15:24,840 --> 00:15:27,600
Speaker 1: because you were talking about the National Championship team. J

379
00:15:27,720 --> 00:15:29,200
Speaker 1: J McCarthy. I know he didn't get to play last

380
00:15:29,240 --> 00:15:31,960
Speaker 1: year unfortunately, was injured. You got to play alongside of

381
00:15:32,040 --> 00:15:34,840
Speaker 1: him for fans, you know, for those fantasy nerves and

382
00:15:34,840 --> 00:15:36,480
Speaker 1: stuff like that. What can folks expect from JJ?

383
00:15:37,040 --> 00:15:39,520
Speaker 7: I think he has a great opportunity to be a

384
00:15:39,520 --> 00:15:41,840
Speaker 7: great quarterback in this league. I think he showed a

385
00:15:41,880 --> 00:15:44,280
Speaker 7: little bit of what he could have done in preseason

386
00:15:44,360 --> 00:15:46,760
Speaker 7: last year obviously before he went down. But you know,

387
00:15:46,800 --> 00:15:49,080
Speaker 7: he's really smart. You know, he's a field general. He

388
00:15:49,480 --> 00:15:50,960
Speaker 7: loves the game. So he's going to be in that

389
00:15:51,000 --> 00:15:52,680
Speaker 7: film room. He's going to do whatever the coaches ask

390
00:15:52,760 --> 00:15:54,960
Speaker 7: him to do. You know, he's going to ask questions

391
00:15:55,000 --> 00:15:56,600
Speaker 7: and I mean, I think he's going to be a

392
00:15:56,600 --> 00:15:59,120
Speaker 7: phenomenal player and it's going to be a phenomenal year

393
00:15:59,160 --> 00:16:01,680
Speaker 7: for him, especially with the talent he has around him, right,

394
00:16:02,080 --> 00:16:04,280
Speaker 7: I mean from the running back position to the wide outs,

395
00:16:04,320 --> 00:16:05,760
Speaker 7: to the tight ends to the line. You know, they

396
00:16:05,760 --> 00:16:09,160
Speaker 7: have a solid team. So and obviously you know their offense.

397
00:16:09,360 --> 00:16:11,320
Speaker 7: You know, it's kind of like ours, you know, under

398
00:16:11,400 --> 00:16:14,480
Speaker 7: coach mcveigh's you know, umbrella. But you know, I think

399
00:16:14,680 --> 00:16:15,680
Speaker 7: the sky's the limit.

400
00:16:15,480 --> 00:16:15,920
Speaker 3: For him, you know.

401
00:16:16,040 --> 00:16:19,520
Speaker 7: So you know, if you're a fantasy, if you play fantasy,

402
00:16:19,640 --> 00:16:20,880
Speaker 7: he might be a guy you want to pick.

403
00:16:20,880 --> 00:16:21,920
Speaker 3: I think it's gonna be a good.

404
00:16:21,800 --> 00:16:24,480
Speaker 2: Year, all right, cool ah, I was gonna say so,

405
00:16:24,560 --> 00:16:26,760
Speaker 2: we were asking about who plays the music and stuff.

406
00:16:26,760 --> 00:16:28,440
Speaker 2: If you had the offs court, either of you guys,

407
00:16:28,520 --> 00:16:29,760
Speaker 2: what would we expect to hear?

408
00:16:31,200 --> 00:16:32,280
Speaker 3: It just depends, you know.

409
00:16:32,320 --> 00:16:35,760
Speaker 6: I have a mood each and every day we wake up,

410
00:16:35,800 --> 00:16:37,360
Speaker 6: wake up and want to listen to Some days I

411
00:16:37,400 --> 00:16:39,560
Speaker 6: could listen to rap music, some days I can listen

412
00:16:39,560 --> 00:16:40,320
Speaker 6: to country music.

413
00:16:40,560 --> 00:16:42,640
Speaker 3: And then someday we're want to listen to some blues

414
00:16:42,680 --> 00:16:46,080
Speaker 3: you know, Okay, okay, okay, that might not play well.

415
00:16:46,080 --> 00:16:50,960
Speaker 1: All right, well, hey fellas, we appreciate the time. Man,

416
00:16:51,000 --> 00:16:52,480
Speaker 1: best of luck to both of you this season. Man,

417
00:16:52,520 --> 00:16:56,120
Speaker 1: we appreciate talking to no, appreciate y'all. Appreciate y'all. Thank you.

418
00:16:56,680 --> 00:16:59,640
Speaker 1: Thank you to the RAMS for helping us out with this.

419
00:17:00,000 --> 00:17:02,400
Speaker 1: I enjoyed talking with all the guys here and are

420
00:17:02,400 --> 00:17:05,960
Speaker 1: we decided. Of the four guys we talked to, I'm

421
00:17:06,359 --> 00:17:08,960
Speaker 1: I'm gonna say, Momfield's the best hooper on this, I'm gonna.

422
00:17:08,720 --> 00:17:12,760
Speaker 2: Say darkas Hunter because he utmost confidence, was like, it's me,

423
00:17:13,080 --> 00:17:14,639
Speaker 2: so I think he backs that up.

424
00:17:14,800 --> 00:17:16,720
Speaker 1: I would say, look, if you pair them up, you

425
00:17:16,800 --> 00:17:19,840
Speaker 1: got a solid inside outside game Shack and Kobe. Yeah,

426
00:17:19,880 --> 00:17:22,159
Speaker 1: it's a modern night outside game the pair of the

427
00:17:22,200 --> 00:17:24,480
Speaker 1: two of them up. But should be an interesting year

428
00:17:24,560 --> 00:17:26,720
Speaker 1: for sure. With the Rams, we got a chance to

429
00:17:26,760 --> 00:17:29,280
Speaker 1: watch practice. So looking forward to kind of seeing these guys.

430
00:17:29,480 --> 00:17:32,000
Speaker 1: That wide receiver room looks potentially stacked this year.

431
00:17:32,119 --> 00:17:33,879
Speaker 2: Yeah, and it's I mean the running back room and

432
00:17:34,040 --> 00:17:36,680
Speaker 2: so much talent, Like obviously Kyron is the headline, but

433
00:17:36,840 --> 00:17:39,119
Speaker 2: behind him is so much talent. This is going to

434
00:17:39,160 --> 00:17:41,560
Speaker 2: be a team that you want players on your fantasy

435
00:17:41,640 --> 00:17:42,040
Speaker 2: roster from.

436
00:17:42,119 --> 00:17:45,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, absolutely didn't get a chance to see Matthew Stafford

437
00:17:45,000 --> 00:17:47,199
Speaker 1: obviously still kind of dealing with the back issues, but

438
00:17:47,800 --> 00:17:49,639
Speaker 1: you expect once he is back and ready to go,

439
00:17:49,720 --> 00:17:52,520
Speaker 1: this offense will be up and running for sure. So again,

440
00:17:52,560 --> 00:17:54,920
Speaker 1: thanks to the Rams for all their help. We appreciate

441
