1
00:00:01,040 --> 00:00:02,960
Speaker 1: For you, is it? Is it gonna be different at all?

2
00:00:02,960 --> 00:00:05,840
Speaker 1: Do you feel you can assure yourself as a leader

3
00:00:05,880 --> 00:00:08,440
Speaker 1: a little bit more? You know, we'll see IM just

4
00:00:08,440 --> 00:00:11,240
Speaker 1: trying to feel whatever roles need be. Um, you know,

5
00:00:11,280 --> 00:00:14,160
Speaker 1: wherever the coaches want me to work, Um and help

6
00:00:14,200 --> 00:00:16,239
Speaker 1: the team out in that way. Um, that's what I'm

7
00:00:16,239 --> 00:00:18,760
Speaker 1: looking forward to. That's what I'm hoping to do. Last year,

8
00:00:18,840 --> 00:00:20,680
Speaker 1: you guys had to drink practices, so it's kind of

9
00:00:20,680 --> 00:00:22,200
Speaker 1: a you got a chance to see what you can

10
00:00:22,200 --> 00:00:24,239
Speaker 1: do against other other team a little bit earlier than

11
00:00:24,920 --> 00:00:26,439
Speaker 1: the preseason. Good. What is it going to be like

12
00:00:26,480 --> 00:00:29,320
Speaker 1: to get out there on Thursday? Yeah? Um, it's exciting.

13
00:00:29,400 --> 00:00:31,960
Speaker 1: You know, we've gotten I guess real familiar with our

14
00:00:32,040 --> 00:00:35,000
Speaker 1: own team, so finally going against another team, UM is

15
00:00:35,000 --> 00:00:39,479
Speaker 1: always exciting seeing new competition, new schemes and stuff like that. Um,

16
00:00:39,560 --> 00:00:42,120
Speaker 1: it's always a drill. Anytime you get a chance to play,

17
00:00:42,159 --> 00:00:45,080
Speaker 1: it's always, um, you know, a blessing and an opportunity.

18
00:00:45,320 --> 00:00:48,040
Speaker 1: Talk about hydrating and stuff like this, like do you

19
00:00:48,080 --> 00:00:49,599
Speaker 1: how do you know when you just got to get

20
00:00:49,600 --> 00:00:51,880
Speaker 1: that water and then you still got to do the drills? Yeah,

21
00:00:51,920 --> 00:00:53,920
Speaker 1: you just got to Um, you know, starting the day

22
00:00:53,960 --> 00:00:56,200
Speaker 1: to um, you know, before practice, when you know it's

23
00:00:56,200 --> 00:00:58,440
Speaker 1: gonna be a hot day. Um, you know, really getting

24
00:00:58,440 --> 00:01:01,240
Speaker 1: in Um, you know they gave your rate and electure lights,

25
00:01:01,240 --> 00:01:03,400
Speaker 1: making sure you're on top of it because you know

26
00:01:03,440 --> 00:01:05,240
Speaker 1: when you get out here, you're gonna have pads on

27
00:01:05,400 --> 00:01:07,479
Speaker 1: and um, you know it's gonna be a hot day.

28
00:01:08,360 --> 00:01:11,600
Speaker 1: Returning punts these last few practices. How much experience do

29
00:01:11,600 --> 00:01:13,319
Speaker 1: you have doing that? You haven't done it at all

30
00:01:13,360 --> 00:01:15,600
Speaker 1: in the NFL? Have you not in the NFL? No,

31
00:01:15,959 --> 00:01:18,360
Speaker 1: a little bit in college? How comfortable do you feel

32
00:01:18,360 --> 00:01:20,280
Speaker 1: back then? Uh, you don't feel good right now. I

33
00:01:20,360 --> 00:01:22,760
Speaker 1: still got a long ways to goo. Um just seeing

34
00:01:22,800 --> 00:01:26,760
Speaker 1: it again. Um, getting getting accustomed to the NFL style punning.

35
00:01:26,760 --> 00:01:28,160
Speaker 1: You know it's a little different than college in high

36
00:01:28,200 --> 00:01:31,600
Speaker 1: school of course, so um, but right now, just trying

37
00:01:31,640 --> 00:01:34,119
Speaker 1: to get it down to the little details and fundamentals.

38
00:01:34,200 --> 00:01:36,400
Speaker 1: What's the biggest difference doing it at this level is

39
00:01:36,440 --> 00:01:39,280
Speaker 1: just that the punters are more talented. Yeah, punters more talented.

40
00:01:39,440 --> 00:01:42,080
Speaker 1: I'm able to put a movement on the ball and um,

41
00:01:42,080 --> 00:01:44,360
Speaker 1: you know use the win to their advantage. How had

42
00:01:44,360 --> 00:01:48,360
Speaker 1: that come about? Would be ended up? Back to return punts. UM.

43
00:01:48,440 --> 00:01:50,600
Speaker 1: So I was just walking off the field one day

44
00:01:50,640 --> 00:01:53,240
Speaker 1: and UH just kind of stepped in there. It caught

45
00:01:53,280 --> 00:01:55,680
Speaker 1: one and coach just thought it looked good, so he

46
00:01:55,920 --> 00:01:58,840
Speaker 1: asked me to come and catch them more. Little approach.

47
00:01:59,000 --> 00:02:00,800
Speaker 1: You're differently in anyway. You know, I know it's a

48
00:02:00,800 --> 00:02:03,280
Speaker 1: preseason game, but you try to approach it as much

49
00:02:03,280 --> 00:02:04,840
Speaker 1: a game like I guess you can get ready for

50
00:02:04,840 --> 00:02:07,480
Speaker 1: the regular season. Yeah, absolutely, UM. You know any time

51
00:02:07,800 --> 00:02:10,919
Speaker 1: you playing a game where that's preseason, regular season, playoff game, UM,

52
00:02:11,040 --> 00:02:13,760
Speaker 1: you always have the same mindset and it's just to

53
00:02:13,840 --> 00:02:16,480
Speaker 1: go in perform to the best of your ability. UM,

54
00:02:16,520 --> 00:02:17,919
Speaker 1: just because you never know what can happen and what

55
00:02:18,040 --> 00:02:20,040
Speaker 1: you can learn from this. So just trying to stay

56
00:02:20,080 --> 00:02:23,600
Speaker 1: locked in, UM on your assignment is key. How does

57
00:02:24,040 --> 00:02:26,080
Speaker 1: your cutsom irony? You don't want to eat like this?

58
00:02:26,160 --> 00:02:28,240
Speaker 1: You know you practice the hottest days of the year

59
00:02:28,280 --> 00:02:29,959
Speaker 1: or like the hoax, you know you're playing in the

60
00:02:30,000 --> 00:02:32,640
Speaker 1: coldest days in the year. Yeah. Yeah, how it prepares

61
00:02:32,720 --> 00:02:35,639
Speaker 1: us for anything. UM. You know that's what is good

62
00:02:35,639 --> 00:02:38,840
Speaker 1: about these practices. It puts us in tough conditions. UM,

63
00:02:38,840 --> 00:02:41,160
Speaker 1: you know throughout the day. UM. That way, when the

64
00:02:41,200 --> 00:02:43,760
Speaker 1: game comes around, We're used to it. How do things

65
00:02:43,840 --> 00:02:46,359
Speaker 1: change now that there's a game, even though it's preseason,

66
00:02:46,440 --> 00:02:48,280
Speaker 1: and how do things change it there's a game on

67
00:02:48,440 --> 00:02:53,800
Speaker 1: the duck and yeah, you know it's the preparation of

68
00:02:53,840 --> 00:02:56,919
Speaker 1: a game. Um, you know, coming in and seeing new

69
00:02:57,040 --> 00:02:59,520
Speaker 1: or new players, not just going against our team every

70
00:02:59,560 --> 00:03:02,440
Speaker 1: single day. Um. You know, it's a game plan style,

71
00:03:02,600 --> 00:03:05,359
Speaker 1: and so every single day you're you're focusing on trying

72
00:03:05,360 --> 00:03:07,799
Speaker 1: to be your opponent. Coach talks about the big jump

73
00:03:07,880 --> 00:03:09,520
Speaker 1: everyone comes to make to year two? Is it kind

74
00:03:09,560 --> 00:03:11,600
Speaker 1: of the same for year two in a new system

75
00:03:11,639 --> 00:03:13,120
Speaker 1: like you have? I mean, do you feel that much

76
00:03:13,160 --> 00:03:16,720
Speaker 1: more comfortable here? Yeah? Definitely? UM talking about you know

77
00:03:16,760 --> 00:03:18,720
Speaker 1: Rooky Wise or you know, anybody that goes to a

78
00:03:18,760 --> 00:03:21,200
Speaker 1: team that was in it for the second year, Um,

79
00:03:21,200 --> 00:03:25,200
Speaker 1: they're definitely gonna feel more comfortable just being in the offense. UM.

80
00:03:25,240 --> 00:03:27,400
Speaker 1: You know, I'm getting to know the coaches, the players

81
00:03:27,800 --> 00:03:30,280
Speaker 1: and really understanding it. Um. I feel like I have

82
00:03:30,280 --> 00:03:31,880
Speaker 1: a long ways to go, still a lot of things

83
00:03:31,880 --> 00:03:34,720
Speaker 1: I can improve upon. Um, but more comfortable year two.

84
00:03:34,960 --> 00:03:37,960
Speaker 1: What's your reaction with coach Judge that day? Let's give

85
00:03:38,000 --> 00:03:41,440
Speaker 1: it a try there. I was like Okay, cool, like

00:03:52,080 --> 00:03:54,640
Speaker 1: Hopefully I can help the team out with. That's the

90
00:03:55,240 --> 00:03:57,520
Speaker 1: advice back to even getting from those guys. It's something

91
00:03:57,600 --> 00:03:59,600
