1
00:00:00,880 --> 00:00:02,600
Speaker 1: What's going on? Guys. They didn't give me much time

2
00:00:02,600 --> 00:00:05,360
Speaker 1: to take my jersey and shoulder pads off. So here

3
00:00:05,400 --> 00:00:11,240
Speaker 1: I am. I'm so excited to see you guys like

4
00:00:11,320 --> 00:00:20,680
Speaker 1: to and then cracks. It was cool, Um, but it's

5
00:00:20,680 --> 00:00:23,320
Speaker 1: like anything. You know, I've talked about this before and

6
00:00:24,000 --> 00:00:26,400
Speaker 1: you know, I've always felt this way, but it's definitely

7
00:00:26,400 --> 00:00:29,960
Speaker 1: emphasized here. You saw me make the play maybe on

8
00:00:30,000 --> 00:00:32,920
Speaker 1: a couple occasions today, but really, UM, there's so many

9
00:00:32,920 --> 00:00:38,560
Speaker 1: guys up front, uh Nick, Uh, David Byron, Trent Um

10
00:00:38,560 --> 00:00:41,120
Speaker 1: really just you know, all the linebackers making the calls

11
00:00:41,600 --> 00:00:45,760
Speaker 1: Terres Christian and you know, I go on and on, um,

12
00:00:45,840 --> 00:00:48,600
Speaker 1: and there's so many intricacies just to like, you know,

13
00:00:48,880 --> 00:00:51,880
Speaker 1: during the game itself, just making adjustments with with coach

14
00:00:51,960 --> 00:00:55,240
Speaker 1: Covington and Coach Kim and uh, Coach Mayo and just

15
00:00:55,480 --> 00:00:58,040
Speaker 1: you know, I can name everybody by name, but um,

16
00:00:58,080 --> 00:00:59,960
Speaker 1: just everything that goes in there and then goes back

17
00:01:00,000 --> 00:01:02,320
Speaker 1: back to every you know, all the work that we

18
00:01:02,400 --> 00:01:05,800
Speaker 1: put in, uh you know, you know, staying at extra times,

19
00:01:05,800 --> 00:01:08,160
Speaker 1: like going over stuff and working with Willie mc ginnis

20
00:01:08,319 --> 00:01:12,120
Speaker 1: on on technique, and UM, it's just it felt good

21
00:01:12,160 --> 00:01:14,280
Speaker 1: for it to have it all come together and um,

22
00:01:14,400 --> 00:01:16,319
Speaker 1: you know, hopefully make my family a little proud today

23
00:01:17,680 --> 00:01:20,479
Speaker 1: taking on some of the lines on the line and raptist.

24
00:01:20,520 --> 00:01:23,479
Speaker 1: Do you feel like that do you when you're out

25
00:01:23,480 --> 00:01:27,080
Speaker 1: around the field. I mean, I don't think anybody that

26
00:01:27,240 --> 00:01:29,679
Speaker 1: puts in work, you know, ever regrets working too hard

27
00:01:29,760 --> 00:01:32,160
Speaker 1: or doing a little extra. I think that's kind of

28
00:01:32,280 --> 00:01:35,920
Speaker 1: a broad topic question, but um, yeah, I just I

29
00:01:36,120 --> 00:01:38,360
Speaker 1: went out there and um, kind of had a game

30
00:01:38,400 --> 00:01:41,039
Speaker 1: plan for how I wanted to attack things, and um,

31
00:01:41,160 --> 00:01:43,160
Speaker 1: you know, fortunately it went my way, you know, like

32
00:01:43,160 --> 00:01:45,600
Speaker 1: I said, thanks to my teammates setting everything up. So

33
00:01:49,360 --> 00:01:55,040
Speaker 1: what I see, Um, I just felt like, um, you know,

34
00:01:55,200 --> 00:01:57,280
Speaker 1: I knew that he had been spending a lot of

35
00:01:57,280 --> 00:01:59,840
Speaker 1: time had left tackle during the week, um, and so

36
00:01:59,880 --> 00:02:01,840
Speaker 1: I figured that he would be a little bit more

37
00:02:01,880 --> 00:02:06,320
Speaker 1: uncomfortable trying to make that transition just in the game. Um,

38
00:02:06,440 --> 00:02:09,440
Speaker 1: but I felt like I had a good get off

39
00:02:09,480 --> 00:02:13,200
Speaker 1: and at the edge, so I slipped it and h yeah,

40
00:02:13,200 --> 00:02:14,320
Speaker 1: I was a little worried it might have been a

41
00:02:14,360 --> 00:02:16,280
Speaker 1: little low at first, so I was looking around for

42
00:02:16,320 --> 00:02:19,760
Speaker 1: penalties and uh it wasn't so and I was okay.

43
00:02:19,800 --> 00:02:30,720
Speaker 1: I was like, all right, we're good ways. Um yeah,

44
00:02:31,320 --> 00:02:34,400
Speaker 1: continue you know they're obviously very contagious. Um. You know,

45
00:02:34,440 --> 00:02:36,080
Speaker 1: it's a great thing anytime you can make a play

46
00:02:36,120 --> 00:02:38,799
Speaker 1: and get the the you know, the fans, even though

47
00:02:38,800 --> 00:02:41,560
Speaker 1: we're in an opposing stadium, I guess, but uh, get

48
00:02:41,600 --> 00:02:43,919
Speaker 1: the fans and get your team into it, and um,

49
00:02:44,040 --> 00:02:46,080
Speaker 1: you really just get into a groove really just you know,

50
00:02:46,160 --> 00:02:49,280
Speaker 1: just feeling the game out. But like I said, you know,

51
00:02:49,360 --> 00:02:51,880
Speaker 1: we're just playing great team defense, I think, And um,

52
00:02:51,919 --> 00:02:53,840
Speaker 1: there's a lot to look at it. You know, it's

53
00:02:53,880 --> 00:02:57,560
Speaker 1: great looking at like the gleaming moments and um, but

54
00:02:57,600 --> 00:03:00,760
Speaker 1: there's a lot to improve on. Where do you think

55
00:03:00,760 --> 00:03:05,640
Speaker 1: you made the biggest strikes? Um? I think like just

56
00:03:05,760 --> 00:03:09,120
Speaker 1: mentally and and just the growth of a my knowledge

57
00:03:09,160 --> 00:03:11,080
Speaker 1: of football. You know that has a lot to do

58
00:03:11,120 --> 00:03:13,840
Speaker 1: with coach Covington. Um, just you know working with me

59
00:03:13,880 --> 00:03:16,359
Speaker 1: and and and teaching me the fundamentals of football in

60
00:03:16,400 --> 00:03:19,880
Speaker 1: the basics. Um, you know, outside of what what I've

61
00:03:19,919 --> 00:03:23,560
Speaker 1: already you know, known from coming in from Michigan. Um. Yeah,

62
00:03:23,639 --> 00:03:25,920
Speaker 1: that's that's probably my biggest thing, is just you know,

63
00:03:26,040 --> 00:03:29,360
Speaker 1: the physicality and and you know, the moves and stuff

64
00:03:29,400 --> 00:03:33,000
Speaker 1: that you improve on that stuff. But um, I'm just

65
00:03:33,040 --> 00:03:35,920
Speaker 1: getting a lot better in my awareness and like that

66
00:03:36,080 --> 00:03:39,440
Speaker 1: round of stuff, so trying to get better. I'm a rookie,

67
00:03:39,480 --> 00:03:42,720
Speaker 1: you got a lot to improve on. Thank you guys,
