1
00:00:02,080 --> 00:00:04,240
Speaker 1: How would you describe this offseason? Obviously at a huge

2
00:00:04,280 --> 00:00:08,440
Speaker 1: life event he came off of in Super Bowl, let

3
00:00:08,520 --> 00:00:11,720
Speaker 1: your contract, got rework, got married. I mean, how how

4
00:00:11,720 --> 00:00:14,080
Speaker 1: do you put all it the perspective?

5
00:00:14,960 --> 00:00:17,279
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, there's definitely a lot happened. One of

6
00:00:17,280 --> 00:00:20,200
Speaker 2: the busier off seasons I had, just you know, still

7
00:00:20,200 --> 00:00:22,200
Speaker 2: got to keep the main thing the main thing and

8
00:00:22,520 --> 00:00:25,760
Speaker 2: stay focused on you know, even though there's a lot

9
00:00:25,760 --> 00:00:32,920
Speaker 2: of good things, you know, stay training, getting ready to go, and.

10
00:00:32,360 --> 00:00:34,560
Speaker 3: You know, well, it might look like a lot happened,

11
00:00:34,600 --> 00:00:35,120
Speaker 3: and it did.

12
00:00:35,760 --> 00:00:37,959
Speaker 2: I tried to keep it as consistent as possible as

13
00:00:38,000 --> 00:00:39,800
Speaker 2: to the last off seasons that I've had.

14
00:00:42,800 --> 00:00:45,120
Speaker 1: I know you'd expressed interest in playing with Luke, and

15
00:00:45,600 --> 00:00:48,240
Speaker 1: I know it didn't happen. But how cool was Draft

16
00:00:48,320 --> 00:00:50,280
Speaker 1: Day for you and your family to see.

17
00:00:50,120 --> 00:00:52,040
Speaker 3: Him go through that? It was awesome? Man.

18
00:00:52,080 --> 00:00:54,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, we were so fired up for him. You know,

19
00:00:55,080 --> 00:00:57,000
Speaker 2: he's He's inspired me in a lot of ways. So

20
00:00:57,120 --> 00:01:00,000
Speaker 2: to see that kind of dream of his come true

21
00:01:00,120 --> 00:01:01,360
Speaker 2: in person was awesome.

22
00:01:04,360 --> 00:01:07,200
Speaker 1: He said, you're gonna Kyle said, you're gonna be see

23
00:01:07,200 --> 00:01:08,920
Speaker 1: when some other veterans will be on a schedule, and

24
00:01:08,959 --> 00:01:11,000
Speaker 1: you weren't in the team stuff yesterday, but you were

25
00:01:11,080 --> 00:01:13,200
Speaker 1: up there a bloody today. Did you feel like he

26
00:01:13,280 --> 00:01:14,280
Speaker 1: hit the ground running today?

27
00:01:14,480 --> 00:01:16,880
Speaker 3: Yeah, definitely. It was good to be back. You know.

28
00:01:16,920 --> 00:01:19,720
Speaker 2: I think it's probably smart just to ease into things

29
00:01:19,720 --> 00:01:22,440
Speaker 2: a little bit these first few days and then next

30
00:01:22,440 --> 00:01:24,600
Speaker 2: week kind of get going. But it's important to get

31
00:01:24,680 --> 00:01:26,920
Speaker 2: you know, get my eyes right, get the timing right,

32
00:01:28,319 --> 00:01:29,479
Speaker 2: just get more comfortable.

33
00:01:29,520 --> 00:01:31,679
Speaker 3: You know, you have to you have to get these reps.

34
00:01:31,680 --> 00:01:33,240
Speaker 3: So it's important.

35
00:01:33,480 --> 00:01:36,080
Speaker 1: I know it's just, you know, just the first your

36
00:01:36,120 --> 00:01:38,040
Speaker 1: first day out there, but did you feel the offense

37
00:01:38,160 --> 00:01:39,280
Speaker 1: looked pretty sharp?

38
00:01:39,760 --> 00:01:40,000
Speaker 3: Yeah?

39
00:01:40,000 --> 00:01:41,959
Speaker 2: I haven't seen the full tape yet, you know, we

40
00:01:42,120 --> 00:01:45,000
Speaker 2: just obviously there's good and bad every single day during

41
00:01:45,040 --> 00:01:47,760
Speaker 2: training camp, and I think the most important thing is

42
00:01:47,800 --> 00:01:50,480
Speaker 2: just capitalize on the good things and fix the bad things.

43
00:01:50,960 --> 00:01:53,240
Speaker 4: I think it was an Ota Kyle was talking about

44
00:01:53,680 --> 00:01:56,840
Speaker 4: just how many touches you had last year and particularly

45
00:01:57,200 --> 00:02:00,480
Speaker 4: you know, run between the tackles, things like that. Maybe

46
00:02:00,480 --> 00:02:02,640
Speaker 4: they could do a better job of limiting that. I mean,

47
00:02:02,680 --> 00:02:05,600
Speaker 4: what's your perspective on that, potentially having a fewer touches

48
00:02:05,600 --> 00:02:06,320
Speaker 4: in those areas.

49
00:02:07,160 --> 00:02:10,200
Speaker 2: For me, it's you know, put my body, mind and

50
00:02:10,240 --> 00:02:13,080
Speaker 2: soul in the best position to play every snap and

51
00:02:13,120 --> 00:02:16,440
Speaker 2: then you know, coaches got to be coaches whatever they

52
00:02:16,440 --> 00:02:19,120
Speaker 2: think is best. But I know, for me, I prepare

53
00:02:19,160 --> 00:02:20,760
Speaker 2: to play every snap so that I'm ready to go.

54
00:02:24,000 --> 00:02:26,360
Speaker 5: You got an extension during the off season. How important

55
00:02:26,520 --> 00:02:29,040
Speaker 5: was it for you to get that worked out before

56
00:02:29,200 --> 00:02:30,160
Speaker 5: coming into training camp?

57
00:02:31,000 --> 00:02:31,800
Speaker 3: Really important? You know.

58
00:02:33,000 --> 00:02:35,919
Speaker 2: I think anytime you can get that done before camp,

59
00:02:35,960 --> 00:02:38,880
Speaker 2: it's great. But that's the business side of things, you know,

60
00:02:38,919 --> 00:02:44,320
Speaker 2: it's the bittersweet part of this league. And so for me,

61
00:02:44,680 --> 00:02:47,400
Speaker 2: you know, like I said, just taking it one day

62
00:02:47,400 --> 00:02:50,440
Speaker 2: at a time, making sure that you know, you continue

63
00:02:50,480 --> 00:02:52,280
Speaker 2: to train, continue to put your body in the best

64
00:02:52,280 --> 00:02:55,160
Speaker 2: shape possible so that when all that stuff is out

65
00:02:55,160 --> 00:02:56,560
Speaker 2: of the way, you can hit the ground running.

66
00:02:58,000 --> 00:03:00,480
Speaker 5: Jack also went through kind of a renegotiate of his

67
00:03:00,600 --> 00:03:02,320
Speaker 5: but he wanted to make sure that he was the

68
00:03:02,400 --> 00:03:04,240
Speaker 5: top paid fullback. How does it make you feel to

69
00:03:04,240 --> 00:03:05,919
Speaker 5: be the top paid running back in the league.

70
00:03:06,120 --> 00:03:08,120
Speaker 2: It means a lot. Yeah, No, it definitely means a lot.

71
00:03:08,160 --> 00:03:11,560
Speaker 2: I think, you know, the running back position has obviously

72
00:03:11,600 --> 00:03:13,560
Speaker 2: been talked about a lot in the last few years

73
00:03:13,600 --> 00:03:17,680
Speaker 2: about you know, kind of guys being unfairly paid, and

74
00:03:17,800 --> 00:03:21,280
Speaker 2: I think, you know, just to continue to up the

75
00:03:21,320 --> 00:03:25,960
Speaker 2: number I think is important. And you know it's a huge.

76
00:03:25,680 --> 00:03:30,640
Speaker 5: Honor John and Kyle didn't care of Trent Wires.

77
00:03:32,400 --> 00:03:34,639
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, look, I you know, the business side

78
00:03:34,680 --> 00:03:37,120
Speaker 2: of things. As I said before, is it's the tough

79
00:03:37,160 --> 00:03:39,480
Speaker 2: part about playing in the NFL. For me, I stay

80
00:03:39,520 --> 00:03:42,520
Speaker 2: out of everything really, just kind of stay in my lane,

81
00:03:42,560 --> 00:03:44,680
Speaker 2: focus on me and doing whatever I can to get back.

82
00:03:45,040 --> 00:03:48,840
Speaker 2: But obviously no one's a bigger fan of strength than me.

83
00:03:49,960 --> 00:03:52,600
Speaker 1: How self critically are you after a season when you

84
00:03:52,640 --> 00:03:55,240
Speaker 1: evaluate what you've done? I mean, obviously Offensive Player of

85
00:03:55,280 --> 00:03:58,640
Speaker 1: the Year had a real strong season. But when you

86
00:03:58,640 --> 00:04:00,600
Speaker 1: look at it, what do you see that you want

87
00:04:00,640 --> 00:04:02,480
Speaker 1: to get better at? Or how do you evaluate it?

88
00:04:03,280 --> 00:04:05,119
Speaker 2: Man, there's and there's there's a lot to get better

89
00:04:05,160 --> 00:04:07,800
Speaker 2: at every year. I think there's a you know, really

90
00:04:08,240 --> 00:04:10,400
Speaker 2: it's it's not even a year or week thing. It's

91
00:04:10,440 --> 00:04:14,760
Speaker 2: just a day by day thing. And you know, I

92
00:04:14,800 --> 00:04:20,039
Speaker 2: think getting getting reps is so important because that's when

93
00:04:20,080 --> 00:04:23,280
Speaker 2: you can really try to perfect your game. When you're

94
00:04:23,320 --> 00:04:24,960
Speaker 2: out of it for a long time, you can miss

95
00:04:24,960 --> 00:04:27,080
Speaker 2: those and and like I said, I think just training

96
00:04:27,080 --> 00:04:32,799
Speaker 2: your eyes, getting the timing right, sequencing down is something

97
00:04:32,839 --> 00:04:34,520
Speaker 2: that you got to do every day, so it's it's

98
00:04:34,560 --> 00:04:38,040
Speaker 2: it's more just every day approaching it is a constant evaluation.

99
00:04:38,560 --> 00:04:41,200
Speaker 2: Obviously you're gonna correct the mistakes from the year, but

100
00:04:41,640 --> 00:04:45,160
Speaker 2: you know, when you're training, you're correcting little things always

101
00:04:45,240 --> 00:04:45,760
Speaker 2: here and there.

102
00:04:46,640 --> 00:04:49,040
Speaker 1: Jordan Mason has looked pretty decent out there in terms

103
00:04:49,080 --> 00:04:50,680
Speaker 1: of catching the ball and stuff. We haven't seen him

104
00:04:50,680 --> 00:04:52,520
Speaker 1: do a lot of that stuffs that jumped out to

105
00:04:52,520 --> 00:04:52,920
Speaker 1: you at all.

106
00:04:53,320 --> 00:04:56,200
Speaker 2: Absolutely, he's improved so much in the first time I've

107
00:04:56,240 --> 00:04:58,840
Speaker 2: met him. Just the way he is in the meetings,

108
00:04:58,880 --> 00:05:01,280
Speaker 2: the way he is out of practice is I think

109
00:05:01,360 --> 00:05:04,960
Speaker 2: our whole running back room has such a good, uh.

110
00:05:04,760 --> 00:05:06,120
Speaker 3: Good energy to it right now.

111
00:05:06,160 --> 00:05:08,320
Speaker 2: You know, we're all pushing each other, making each other better,

112
00:05:08,360 --> 00:05:10,680
Speaker 2: but also being there for each other. And it's a

113
00:05:10,720 --> 00:05:13,760
Speaker 2: really fun room to be a part of because you know,

114
00:05:13,760 --> 00:05:16,200
Speaker 2: you want to talk about guys forcing you to be

115
00:05:16,240 --> 00:05:18,240
Speaker 2: at your best. Every single one of those guys right

116
00:05:18,279 --> 00:05:21,160
Speaker 2: now is are doing just that and makes it makes

117
00:05:21,200 --> 00:05:24,520
Speaker 2: it fun to be a part of. Mariano Rivera has

118
00:05:24,560 --> 00:05:26,800
Speaker 2: he becoming more complete running back now?

119
00:05:27,200 --> 00:05:31,120
Speaker 3: Marian Oh, that's right, that's right. Yeah, I was like Daan,

120
00:05:31,160 --> 00:05:31,920
Speaker 3: When did I say that?

121
00:05:33,120 --> 00:05:35,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, man, I think he he looks way more complete

122
00:05:35,720 --> 00:05:38,320
Speaker 2: than than he has been. He's always been able to

123
00:05:38,320 --> 00:05:40,160
Speaker 2: do it. It's just being consistent with it. And I

124
00:05:40,240 --> 00:05:43,359
Speaker 2: think you see now he's making things happen in the

125
00:05:43,400 --> 00:05:45,800
Speaker 2: past game and the run game that are just consistent

126
00:05:45,839 --> 00:05:46,120
Speaker 2: with it.

127
00:05:46,200 --> 00:05:49,400
Speaker 3: So I think he can pitch every inning now.

128
00:05:51,120 --> 00:05:53,599
Speaker 4: Some things, you know, pump motion and stuff like that.

129
00:05:53,720 --> 00:05:56,320
Speaker 4: Especially you, how much do you look at that stuff

130
00:05:56,360 --> 00:05:58,880
Speaker 4: and maybe talk to Kyle about things you see over

131
00:05:58,920 --> 00:06:01,320
Speaker 4: the off season and how to improve on that or

132
00:06:01,320 --> 00:06:02,200
Speaker 4: how to expand it.

133
00:06:03,960 --> 00:06:04,159
Speaker 3: You know.

134
00:06:04,200 --> 00:06:05,960
Speaker 2: For me, it's just being able to do it, you know,

135
00:06:06,000 --> 00:06:08,360
Speaker 2: and I think continuing to rep it no matter what

136
00:06:08,400 --> 00:06:11,760
Speaker 2: position he's putting you in. He has reasons for every

137
00:06:11,839 --> 00:06:14,440
Speaker 2: play he calls, and he's much better at it than

138
00:06:14,480 --> 00:06:15,960
Speaker 2: I am. So I kind of just let him do

139
00:06:16,040 --> 00:06:18,279
Speaker 2: that and wherever he puts me, I just got to

140
00:06:18,279 --> 00:06:19,840
Speaker 2: be able to run every route.

141
00:06:20,960 --> 00:06:23,120
Speaker 5: How much more benefit can you get from finally having

142
00:06:23,120 --> 00:06:26,000
Speaker 5: a first full offseason with Rock Party back there?

143
00:06:26,800 --> 00:06:31,520
Speaker 2: Huge benefit, huge benefit, I think, you know, I think

144
00:06:31,560 --> 00:06:33,719
Speaker 2: obviously the reps are important. I think it's been so

145
00:06:33,760 --> 00:06:36,000
Speaker 2: impressive to see what he can do without those reps.

146
00:06:36,800 --> 00:06:39,800
Speaker 2: But he looks great, he feels great, he's talking great.

147
00:06:40,839 --> 00:06:45,640
Speaker 2: Just happy he's our quarterback. Appreciate you guys,
