1 00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:01,600 Speaker 1: What's been the change for me? What's what's been the 2 00:00:01,639 --> 00:00:04,120 Speaker 1: difference this time around? Just trusting in my coaches, you know, 3 00:00:04,160 --> 00:00:06,680 Speaker 1: trusting the coaches, trusting in the um. You know, the 4 00:00:06,680 --> 00:00:08,639 Speaker 1: older guys in the room too, get passing down the 5 00:00:08,680 --> 00:00:11,119 Speaker 1: knowledge that they have, and um, just going each and 6 00:00:11,160 --> 00:00:14,160 Speaker 1: every day and working hard. And I guess the confidence 7 00:00:14,160 --> 00:00:15,520 Speaker 1: comes from the work that I put it in, you know, 8 00:00:15,560 --> 00:00:17,759 Speaker 1: and so just trying to take a step by step 9 00:00:17,800 --> 00:00:19,880 Speaker 1: each and every day and improve each and every day 10 00:00:19,880 --> 00:00:22,280 Speaker 1: and doing anything I can do to help a team win. 11 00:00:22,760 --> 00:00:24,600 Speaker 1: The players you make out over the last few days, 12 00:00:25,040 --> 00:00:27,560 Speaker 1: these catches sort of had to the level of confidence, 13 00:00:27,600 --> 00:00:29,840 Speaker 1: you know, like one on one you're going up against Devin, 14 00:00:29,880 --> 00:00:33,599 Speaker 1: then that sort of something's building, definitely, definitely. And then 15 00:00:33,600 --> 00:00:35,360 Speaker 1: it's just things that you go back to the to 16 00:00:35,440 --> 00:00:37,520 Speaker 1: the film room and you adjust too. You know, there's 17 00:00:37,560 --> 00:00:40,319 Speaker 1: there's teaching moments and everything. You know, even if you win, 18 00:00:40,360 --> 00:00:42,199 Speaker 1: you know you can do there's there's little improvements that 19 00:00:42,200 --> 00:00:44,919 Speaker 1: you can have in each and every rep. So seeing those, um, 20 00:00:44,920 --> 00:00:47,880 Speaker 1: obviously making those plays gives me confidence. I hope it 21 00:00:47,920 --> 00:00:50,080 Speaker 1: gives confidence to my to my to my teammates. And 22 00:00:50,080 --> 00:00:51,920 Speaker 1: then just taking it back to the film room and 23 00:00:51,960 --> 00:00:55,280 Speaker 1: adjusting and making another improvements. March point this is I 24 00:00:55,280 --> 00:00:57,400 Speaker 1: can get it back, just the chemistry, Like it's no 25 00:00:57,480 --> 00:00:58,680 Speaker 1: at this point. I know you guys putting a lot 26 00:00:58,680 --> 00:01:00,760 Speaker 1: of work together down the office. Oh it's good, you know, 27 00:01:00,840 --> 00:01:02,560 Speaker 1: And um, you know, I trust that he's gonna do 28 00:01:02,600 --> 00:01:04,280 Speaker 1: what he has to do, and I'm pretty sure he 29 00:01:04,319 --> 00:01:05,560 Speaker 1: trust me that I'm gonna do what I have to do. 30 00:01:05,640 --> 00:01:07,400 Speaker 1: So you know, each and every day, beat I was 31 00:01:07,440 --> 00:01:09,320 Speaker 1: coming out here and just working and putting those reps 32 00:01:09,319 --> 00:01:11,440 Speaker 1: in and getting the chemistry throughout the throughout the whole 33 00:01:11,520 --> 00:01:14,600 Speaker 1: offensive unit and just getting those reps in and get 34 00:01:14,600 --> 00:01:17,160 Speaker 1: into the firm room and talking about it and making 35 00:01:17,160 --> 00:01:19,520 Speaker 1: those changes in there. And that's where the trust comes from. 36 00:01:19,560 --> 00:01:24,560 Speaker 1: So what you say you learned about yourself years, Um 37 00:01:24,640 --> 00:01:27,840 Speaker 1: you know that. I mean, I guess, um, you know, 38 00:01:27,880 --> 00:01:31,759 Speaker 1: the the work is gonna come out another year. Results, 39 00:01:31,760 --> 00:01:34,200 Speaker 1: the joss that you want is gonna gonna be a 40 00:01:34,200 --> 00:01:35,800 Speaker 1: result of your the work that you put in. You 41 00:01:35,840 --> 00:01:37,200 Speaker 1: know what I'm saying. So each and every day I'm 42 00:01:37,200 --> 00:01:39,640 Speaker 1: just trying to put you know, my best foot forward, 43 00:01:39,720 --> 00:01:41,760 Speaker 1: you know, and improvement, improvement, and what I had to 44 00:01:41,760 --> 00:01:44,119 Speaker 1: do the day before, you know, And so I guess 45 00:01:44,160 --> 00:01:46,440 Speaker 1: it's adjusting and getting better each and every day. So 46 00:01:47,200 --> 00:01:49,640 Speaker 1: you know, they bring in John Hunter and one wants 47 00:01:49,640 --> 00:01:51,760 Speaker 1: to play. It was it difficult last year. It's not 48 00:01:51,880 --> 00:01:54,440 Speaker 1: being able to get on the field. And how much 49 00:01:54,480 --> 00:01:56,160 Speaker 1: of that sort to push you, you know, towards this. 50 00:01:56,560 --> 00:01:58,080 Speaker 1: And I think everybody wants to be on the field. 51 00:01:58,080 --> 00:02:00,240 Speaker 1: You know, everybody wants to play too. But at the 52 00:02:00,280 --> 00:02:03,360 Speaker 1: sacond time I took it as just the um experience 53 00:02:03,400 --> 00:02:05,920 Speaker 1: that I can take it and just getting knowledge from 54 00:02:05,920 --> 00:02:08,720 Speaker 1: those those two guys, you know, Hunter and Um and 55 00:02:08,800 --> 00:02:11,919 Speaker 1: John Dow having the experience that they have and being 56 00:02:11,919 --> 00:02:13,560 Speaker 1: in the league for as long as they have and 57 00:02:14,000 --> 00:02:16,480 Speaker 1: having those two guys the big brothers in the room 58 00:02:16,520 --> 00:02:19,160 Speaker 1: and having the knowledge passed down from them and just 59 00:02:19,200 --> 00:02:21,840 Speaker 1: a little you know, the trade tricks of the trade 60 00:02:21,840 --> 00:02:23,320 Speaker 1: and stuff that they could pass down to me. Just 61 00:02:23,520 --> 00:02:25,320 Speaker 1: is it helps me and I can apply to my game. 62 00:02:25,440 --> 00:02:27,679 Speaker 1: So those two guys have been like, you know, big 63 00:02:27,720 --> 00:02:30,639 Speaker 1: brokes to me ever since they became in. So saying 64 00:02:30,680 --> 00:02:33,040 Speaker 1: that you've got a lot of yards, Yeah, it's just 65 00:02:33,160 --> 00:02:35,799 Speaker 1: your routes are more savvy. Yeah, y, what does that mean? 66 00:02:35,840 --> 00:02:39,320 Speaker 1: How are they wants that? Just seeing what I done 67 00:02:39,360 --> 00:02:41,040 Speaker 1: in the past and just trying to adjust, you know, 68 00:02:41,120 --> 00:02:43,680 Speaker 1: and you know ap being one of the one of 69 00:02:43,680 --> 00:02:45,960 Speaker 1: our one of our great couple of guys, you know what, 70 00:02:46,280 --> 00:02:48,640 Speaker 1: and stuff like that. So going against him each and 71 00:02:48,639 --> 00:02:50,760 Speaker 1: every day, especially last year, going against him each and 72 00:02:50,800 --> 00:02:53,560 Speaker 1: every day when I was on Scout and and just 73 00:02:53,600 --> 00:02:55,200 Speaker 1: having those one on ones with him, why I can 74 00:02:55,280 --> 00:02:56,880 Speaker 1: just see what I can improve on, see what I 75 00:02:56,919 --> 00:02:58,880 Speaker 1: can do to to to get open on the route. 76 00:02:59,200 --> 00:03:01,240 Speaker 1: You know, it's just little things that I've taken exactly 77 00:03:01,280 --> 00:03:02,800 Speaker 1: like I said, you're going back to the film room 78 00:03:02,800 --> 00:03:04,600 Speaker 1: and making those adjustments and seeing what I can do 79 00:03:04,639 --> 00:03:06,840 Speaker 1: to get open, even if it's about a yard or 80 00:03:06,840 --> 00:03:08,440 Speaker 1: a half a yard. You know what I'm saying, I'll 81 00:03:08,480 --> 00:03:12,320 Speaker 1: take whatever it is, you know, So kind of hiding 82 00:03:12,320 --> 00:03:14,320 Speaker 1: around until you have to declare so he doesn't know 83 00:03:14,320 --> 00:03:16,720 Speaker 1: which where you're going, versus you're just being more efficient 84 00:03:16,840 --> 00:03:20,000 Speaker 1: getting a pointed or whatever. Yeah, I think both of those, 85 00:03:20,080 --> 00:03:21,399 Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying, Like trying to make things 86 00:03:21,400 --> 00:03:23,680 Speaker 1: look the same, but then also being official in my movement, 87 00:03:24,040 --> 00:03:25,880 Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying. So you know, both of 88 00:03:25,919 --> 00:03:28,000 Speaker 1: those things, I take serious, and those are things that 89 00:03:28,000 --> 00:03:30,079 Speaker 1: I try to look for and try to improve each 90 00:03:30,120 --> 00:03:33,000 Speaker 1: and every day. No waste steps, no wasted movement, trying 91 00:03:33,000 --> 00:03:35,120 Speaker 1: to make everything look the same. But you know, like 92 00:03:35,160 --> 00:03:37,080 Speaker 1: I said, Ap is just the one on one, one 93 00:03:37,120 --> 00:03:38,640 Speaker 1: of those guys that you go against you're gonna get 94 00:03:38,680 --> 00:03:42,000 Speaker 1: better every day. So going against him all that year 95 00:03:42,080 --> 00:03:48,080 Speaker 1: just was helped me a lot. So like that, you learn, Yeah, 96 00:03:48,680 --> 00:03:54,360 Speaker 1: something in particularly carried open to your game. I mean 97 00:03:54,400 --> 00:03:56,840 Speaker 1: just overall, just the way that they carry themselves, I 98 00:03:56,840 --> 00:03:58,400 Speaker 1: mean in and out of the locker room, you know, 99 00:03:58,480 --> 00:04:00,560 Speaker 1: and the way they approached the game. And I think 100 00:04:00,600 --> 00:04:02,680 Speaker 1: little things that they do to to prepare it for 101 00:04:02,720 --> 00:04:04,840 Speaker 1: each and every week. You know. I got to experience 102 00:04:04,920 --> 00:04:08,400 Speaker 1: that firsthand last year, just um, seeing how they prepare 103 00:04:08,400 --> 00:04:10,320 Speaker 1: it for each game, you know, the things that the 104 00:04:10,320 --> 00:04:12,600 Speaker 1: little things that they do, you know. Um. But I 105 00:04:12,680 --> 00:04:14,520 Speaker 1: just take all those things and try to apply to myself. 106 00:04:14,560 --> 00:04:16,640 Speaker 1: See what works for me, you know, and and and 107 00:04:16,680 --> 00:04:19,200 Speaker 1: see what can help be be prepared for the game 108 00:04:19,440 --> 00:04:22,560 Speaker 1: as as much as possible. So man, they can see 109 00:04:22,560 --> 00:04:25,240 Speaker 1: a lot of bootlegs selling concept things like that that 110 00:04:25,360 --> 00:04:28,440 Speaker 1: we talk a lot about how much of an adjustment 111 00:04:28,640 --> 00:04:30,400 Speaker 1: is that really to kind of mean a little bit 112 00:04:30,400 --> 00:04:33,320 Speaker 1: of a tweak system. Oh man, I mean to be honest, 113 00:04:33,800 --> 00:04:35,240 Speaker 1: I just do whatever to coach tell me to do, 114 00:04:35,279 --> 00:04:37,680 Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying. So, um coming to the 115 00:04:37,839 --> 00:04:39,920 Speaker 1: to the each and every day in the an offensive 116 00:04:39,960 --> 00:04:41,920 Speaker 1: meeting room and just being prepared for whatever they got, 117 00:04:42,160 --> 00:04:44,039 Speaker 1: um coming at us. You know, whatever install is in, 118 00:04:44,120 --> 00:04:46,880 Speaker 1: whatever we got adjusted, whatever the coaches see. You know, 119 00:04:46,880 --> 00:04:49,400 Speaker 1: we just try to take taking all of that info, 120 00:04:49,520 --> 00:04:51,440 Speaker 1: all the information and just take it out to the field. 121 00:04:53,360 --> 00:04:56,280 Speaker 1: It's been easier with some of the new terminology. Do 122 00:04:56,480 --> 00:04:59,520 Speaker 1: you feel like that, like things easier to learn. It's 123 00:04:59,520 --> 00:05:01,360 Speaker 1: definitely been different, you know what I'm saying. It's definitely 124 00:05:01,400 --> 00:05:04,200 Speaker 1: be different, been from the last couple of years. But um, 125 00:05:04,200 --> 00:05:06,680 Speaker 1: I think it's all within the same thing. You know, 126 00:05:06,839 --> 00:05:09,880 Speaker 1: everything is adjusting me everything you gotta you gotta learn different. 127 00:05:09,880 --> 00:05:13,239 Speaker 1: It's it's different, obviously different terminology, but you know you're 128 00:05:13,320 --> 00:05:14,840 Speaker 1: learning each and every day something new, you know what 129 00:05:14,920 --> 00:05:17,320 Speaker 1: I'm saying. So just trying to take and retain all 130 00:05:17,360 --> 00:05:19,480 Speaker 1: the information and then apply to the field is the 131 00:05:19,480 --> 00:05:25,120 Speaker 1: most important thing. Okay. Me. I spend my off season 132 00:05:25,160 --> 00:05:28,680 Speaker 1: with kb UM during the springtime, right before we came 133 00:05:28,760 --> 00:05:30,600 Speaker 1: to Spring training, you know, I was out there working 134 00:05:30,600 --> 00:05:33,279 Speaker 1: out with him, getting my getting the getting the workout, 135 00:05:33,279 --> 00:05:35,520 Speaker 1: teaching every day with him.
