1
00:00:00,240 --> 00:00:03,000
Speaker 1: You know coming into the behind. You know, coaches just

2
00:00:03,000 --> 00:00:06,280
Speaker 1: saying it's not necessarily and it's time a way, it's

3
00:00:06,320 --> 00:00:08,479
Speaker 1: time off, it's time a way. How do you handle this?

4
00:00:08,600 --> 00:00:11,399
Speaker 1: By UM? You know what I did last year and

5
00:00:11,440 --> 00:00:14,160
Speaker 1: I'm gonna do this year is UM just reflect them.

6
00:00:14,240 --> 00:00:16,960
Speaker 1: We see the so far, go back and just kind

7
00:00:16,960 --> 00:00:20,480
Speaker 1: of watch every play UM individually as a team and

8
00:00:21,680 --> 00:00:23,119
Speaker 1: you know, look at all the good and all the

9
00:00:23,160 --> 00:00:26,079
Speaker 1: bad and UM just try to improve. UM. You know

10
00:00:26,239 --> 00:00:27,760
Speaker 1: I was able to do something first half of season

11
00:00:27,800 --> 00:00:34,320
Speaker 1: to the second eposism say differences this year and last year.

12
00:00:34,760 --> 00:00:38,479
Speaker 1: So what specifically do you look at? UM? Inside running?

13
00:00:38,640 --> 00:00:41,440
Speaker 1: I would say inside running would be the first big

14
00:00:41,479 --> 00:00:44,400
Speaker 1: thing that I would look at. UM is running between

15
00:00:44,400 --> 00:00:46,600
Speaker 1: the tackles. Just running the ball here. Uh, you know

16
00:00:46,760 --> 00:00:49,360
Speaker 1: that's what I do most of the time. But definitely

17
00:00:49,440 --> 00:00:52,360
Speaker 1: running the ball. UM. Go back, watch past walking, see

18
00:00:52,400 --> 00:00:54,840
Speaker 1: what I could do better there? Um catching the ball

19
00:00:55,080 --> 00:00:57,600
Speaker 1: um and take care of my body. Uh. There's those

20
00:00:57,720 --> 00:00:59,440
Speaker 1: those all the things that you focus on as a player.

21
00:00:59,480 --> 00:01:02,160
Speaker 1: And time with this week you kind of get extra

22
00:01:02,200 --> 00:01:06,039
Speaker 1: time to focus on him. And as far as how

23
00:01:06,080 --> 00:01:08,399
Speaker 1: do you feel physically? Does this comm at the writing

24
00:01:08,440 --> 00:01:10,600
Speaker 1: him the Bible week always comes at the right time,

25
00:01:11,480 --> 00:01:13,320
Speaker 1: no matter if it's earlier in the season. You know

26
00:01:13,440 --> 00:01:15,960
Speaker 1: the season. And then yeah, um, any time you can

27
00:01:16,000 --> 00:01:18,120
Speaker 1: get a bye week, there's always good just to you

28
00:01:18,160 --> 00:01:20,520
Speaker 1: know sometimes just get your mind living there a little bit, Um,

29
00:01:20,800 --> 00:01:22,840
Speaker 1: spend the time with the family, want to spend some

30
00:01:22,880 --> 00:01:25,120
Speaker 1: more time with your teammates, um, and get that a

31
00:01:25,160 --> 00:01:28,800
Speaker 1: little bit time off. But um, also during that time still,

32
00:01:28,920 --> 00:01:31,360
Speaker 1: like I said, go back and reflecting on yourself as

33
00:01:31,400 --> 00:01:33,360
Speaker 1: a player and on where we haven't done so far

34
00:01:33,440 --> 00:01:35,640
Speaker 1: in the season, and see where we can improve. I

35
00:01:35,680 --> 00:01:41,560
Speaker 1: know that was the next Roy. That's feel pretty good.

36
00:01:41,880 --> 00:01:44,080
Speaker 1: The highest and highs. It's been a couple of days night.

37
00:01:44,120 --> 00:01:46,560
Speaker 1: How did you how have you joke with you know

38
00:01:46,600 --> 00:01:52,040
Speaker 1: what happened on Sunday especially Um, yeah, I mean I

39
00:01:52,080 --> 00:01:53,640
Speaker 1: don't think any back want to go in the game

40
00:01:53,640 --> 00:01:56,920
Speaker 1: and have one yard. But the Jets did a great job,

41
00:01:57,800 --> 00:01:59,120
Speaker 1: you know. Like I said, I went after the game

42
00:01:59,200 --> 00:02:02,560
Speaker 1: and make sure congratulated coach Williams over there. They did

43
00:02:02,600 --> 00:02:05,240
Speaker 1: a real good job. But the way I handle it

44
00:02:05,360 --> 00:02:07,160
Speaker 1: is the same way I handle if I had a

45
00:02:07,240 --> 00:02:11,639
Speaker 1: two performance. Um. You know, you don't let outside forces,

46
00:02:11,760 --> 00:02:13,880
Speaker 1: they say how you how you operate from your work

47
00:02:13,919 --> 00:02:16,680
Speaker 1: force home. So good game back games, you said, I

48
00:02:16,720 --> 00:02:19,120
Speaker 1: treated the same when you go for twohy yards. You

49
00:02:19,240 --> 00:02:23,600
Speaker 1: gotta be you know, critical yourself in judge yourself the

50
00:02:23,600 --> 00:02:25,440
Speaker 1: same way as you got a backgame vice courts and

51
00:02:25,520 --> 00:02:27,280
Speaker 1: so the white handle is the same way how I

52
00:02:27,280 --> 00:02:33,200
Speaker 1: handle over again Sunday. It seems you were struggling to

53
00:02:33,240 --> 00:02:37,440
Speaker 1: find the right words, almost like you couldn't believe what

54
00:02:37,560 --> 00:02:40,440
Speaker 1: happens Sunday or you just couldn't see you host there

55
00:02:40,560 --> 00:02:44,840
Speaker 1: or what? Um? I mean, yeah, I mean after after

56
00:02:44,880 --> 00:02:47,560
Speaker 1: the game's definitely hard to speak on it because I

57
00:02:47,600 --> 00:02:50,000
Speaker 1: know we have this part of our job and my

58
00:02:50,120 --> 00:02:51,760
Speaker 1: job scription to come and talk to me and after

59
00:02:51,880 --> 00:02:55,840
Speaker 1: but after you lose a game and you know, uh,

60
00:02:55,919 --> 00:02:57,560
Speaker 1: can you go for for a one yard? You know

61
00:02:57,600 --> 00:02:59,240
Speaker 1: you really it's hard to speak on it. You know,

62
00:02:59,600 --> 00:03:01,000
Speaker 1: But when you go back and you'll be able to

63
00:03:01,000 --> 00:03:04,120
Speaker 1: watch film, Um, you can see what actually happened and

64
00:03:04,160 --> 00:03:07,600
Speaker 1: how how it happened. Um, you can give a better

65
00:03:07,680 --> 00:03:09,600
Speaker 1: description or a better answer. I guess you could say,

66
00:03:10,320 --> 00:03:13,680
Speaker 1: where's the because they the Jets were saying they concentrated

67
00:03:13,720 --> 00:03:17,400
Speaker 1: on you. Did you notice that, Yes, I mean, if

68
00:03:17,600 --> 00:03:21,080
Speaker 1: anyone who knows football or watches the game of football, uh,

69
00:03:21,360 --> 00:03:24,840
Speaker 1: you can see, um what the focus was. And it's

70
00:03:24,880 --> 00:03:26,919
Speaker 1: kind of like that majority of the year, not just

71
00:03:26,919 --> 00:03:29,680
Speaker 1: against the Jets, bill against multiple teams. And it's gonna

72
00:03:29,680 --> 00:03:31,680
Speaker 1: be like that for the rest of the season and

73
00:03:32,600 --> 00:03:36,320
Speaker 1: probably gonna be like that for the rest of my career. Uh.

74
00:03:36,440 --> 00:03:39,920
Speaker 1: That comes to the territory. God bless me with unbelievable talent.

75
00:03:41,480 --> 00:03:44,640
Speaker 1: So a lot of people are gonna focus on, I

76
00:03:44,680 --> 00:03:49,920
Speaker 1: guess making me main objectivity games to stop and uh

77
00:03:50,200 --> 00:03:51,560
Speaker 1: to take away. But at the end of the day,

78
00:03:51,600 --> 00:03:54,000
Speaker 1: you're still away able to get four touchdowns, have four

79
00:03:54,040 --> 00:03:56,800
Speaker 1: touchdown drives. Um, we just in school and we needed

80
00:03:56,800 --> 00:03:59,760
Speaker 1: to the most. But offense played amazing, take stepped up

81
00:03:59,760 --> 00:04:02,040
Speaker 1: big for us. Uh, slaves have a bit for us.

82
00:04:02,200 --> 00:04:05,520
Speaker 1: Then had an amazing game. Um. But you know it's

83
00:04:05,520 --> 00:04:07,440
Speaker 1: growing pains as those as those games, comanies got to

84
00:04:07,440 --> 00:04:09,600
Speaker 1: figure out how to win those games. And UM, still

85
00:04:09,640 --> 00:04:11,920
Speaker 1: gonna have a positive mindset. Um, and we're able to

86
00:04:11,920 --> 00:04:13,600
Speaker 1: flip it around and turn the script around. Is gonna

87
00:04:13,600 --> 00:04:16,000
Speaker 1: be a beautiful story. What do you what do you say?

88
00:04:16,040 --> 00:04:19,039
Speaker 1: The idea you're banged up running backs only have so

89
00:04:19,080 --> 00:04:21,680
Speaker 1: many carries, they should shut you down and not play

90
00:04:21,839 --> 00:04:24,400
Speaker 1: and rested you at the end of the year. Uh.

91
00:04:24,600 --> 00:04:27,160
Speaker 1: I do not agree with that idea at all. Um,

92
00:04:27,960 --> 00:04:30,400
Speaker 1: I don't one. That's not fair to my teammates and

93
00:04:30,440 --> 00:04:32,600
Speaker 1: to when they say running backs have so many carriers,

94
00:04:32,600 --> 00:04:35,320
Speaker 1: and I mean where I don't, I don't know, like yes,

95
00:04:35,400 --> 00:04:37,800
Speaker 1: like is there some people like I guess the average

96
00:04:37,839 --> 00:04:40,640
Speaker 1: career length of running back is not as long as

97
00:04:40,680 --> 00:04:43,200
Speaker 1: other players. But when I think of you know, the

98
00:04:43,400 --> 00:04:46,760
Speaker 1: great running backs who played the great the Barry Standards

99
00:04:46,760 --> 00:04:51,040
Speaker 1: of Walter Payton's, m Smith, Thomas Jones, Curtis Martin, um,

100
00:04:51,160 --> 00:04:53,800
Speaker 1: Matt Forte, all those guys. Yes, how they have injuries

101
00:04:53,800 --> 00:04:56,040
Speaker 1: throughout their career. Yes, every possession have injuries out through

102
00:04:56,040 --> 00:04:59,320
Speaker 1: the career. But those guys were able to um withstaining

103
00:04:59,480 --> 00:05:01,839
Speaker 1: a bigger workload back in the day than what we

104
00:05:01,880 --> 00:05:04,520
Speaker 1: are now because now the game is involving. Yes, you

105
00:05:04,560 --> 00:05:07,320
Speaker 1: might get three touches, but three of touches might come

106
00:05:07,320 --> 00:05:09,920
Speaker 1: with two hundred fifty carries and fifty catches. Back in

107
00:05:09,960 --> 00:05:13,359
Speaker 1: those days, walls are painting. The second year had like

108
00:05:13,360 --> 00:05:16,800
Speaker 1: three forty seven carries in fourteen games. Um, and was

109
00:05:16,839 --> 00:05:18,680
Speaker 1: able to have a you know, a long career and

110
00:05:18,839 --> 00:05:21,360
Speaker 1: a great career. So, um, you know that's the type

111
00:05:21,400 --> 00:05:23,120
Speaker 1: of something not saying I want to put myself to

112
00:05:23,120 --> 00:05:25,719
Speaker 1: those standards of like those guys are players because best

113
00:05:25,760 --> 00:05:28,040
Speaker 1: ever doing Hall of famers, but the way they were

114
00:05:28,080 --> 00:05:29,839
Speaker 1: the carry that workload and be able to have a

115
00:05:30,000 --> 00:05:32,440
Speaker 1: successful career as a way that I know that how

116
00:05:32,480 --> 00:05:34,200
Speaker 1: I want to operate and how I know how the

117
00:05:34,200 --> 00:05:36,320
Speaker 1: other great running backs in a good the running backs

118
00:05:36,320 --> 00:05:38,640
Speaker 1: in this league want to do too. So the mindset

119
00:05:38,640 --> 00:05:41,640
Speaker 1: of sitting me out and uh resting me for the

120
00:05:41,680 --> 00:05:44,599
Speaker 1: rest of the season, um, is beyond me. Um, I

121
00:05:44,640 --> 00:05:47,280
Speaker 1: do not agree with it. Uh, and it won't happen. Um,

122
00:05:47,279 --> 00:05:50,159
Speaker 1: I'm gonna keep going. Um so I can't go no more.

123
00:05:50,240 --> 00:05:52,440
Speaker 1: And um that's hope player I am, and I'm gonna

124
00:05:52,440 --> 00:05:54,479
Speaker 1: do for my teammates. What about that idea that's not

125
00:05:54,520 --> 00:05:57,160
Speaker 1: healthy enough that you know that you to be you,

126
00:05:57,320 --> 00:06:00,680
Speaker 1: to be yourself? Yeah, what's I mean? What's I don't know?

127
00:06:00,880 --> 00:06:05,120
Speaker 1: What's not being myself? I mean, yes, I wish, I wish, Yes,

128
00:06:05,240 --> 00:06:07,200
Speaker 1: I mean I do feel like myself. I mean I

129
00:06:07,200 --> 00:06:10,400
Speaker 1: would love to be going for a hundred yards every game.

130
00:06:10,440 --> 00:06:11,919
Speaker 1: I would love to be doing the things I was

131
00:06:12,000 --> 00:06:15,960
Speaker 1: doing last year. Trust me, Um, I don't. I don't

132
00:06:16,000 --> 00:06:17,120
Speaker 1: like the fact that I was able to have one

133
00:06:17,200 --> 00:06:21,440
Speaker 1: yard against a great team. Respect to them, but I

134
00:06:22,040 --> 00:06:24,400
Speaker 1: feel like what you see me again open space. I've

135
00:06:24,440 --> 00:06:27,520
Speaker 1: still was making people miss um. You know, even against

136
00:06:27,600 --> 00:06:29,800
Speaker 1: last against Dallas, they were doing a really good job,

137
00:06:30,279 --> 00:06:32,040
Speaker 1: I guess, you know, doing a good job of shutting

138
00:06:32,040 --> 00:06:34,719
Speaker 1: me down. But got open space and I don't know,

139
00:06:34,800 --> 00:06:37,360
Speaker 1: I guess I still felt fast on that screen. Um.

140
00:06:37,480 --> 00:06:39,360
Speaker 1: Obviously we didn't score on that, but I still felt

141
00:06:39,360 --> 00:06:42,159
Speaker 1: fast enough to get a sixty five yard explosion play. Uh. So,

142
00:06:42,839 --> 00:06:45,440
Speaker 1: you know, the opportunities just I just got to make

143
00:06:45,480 --> 00:06:48,080
Speaker 1: more take advantage of the opportunities that I get. But

144
00:06:48,320 --> 00:06:50,320
Speaker 1: to say that I'm not healthy or this and that

145
00:06:50,440 --> 00:06:53,360
Speaker 1: the third, that's just excuses. Everyone's banged up, everyone's going

146
00:06:53,360 --> 00:06:55,680
Speaker 1: through something, and I'm not gonna let that be excuse

147
00:06:55,720 --> 00:06:57,599
Speaker 1: of why I'm not having a sexful season. The reason

148
00:06:57,680 --> 00:06:59,359
Speaker 1: why I'm not having a sexual seasons because I'm not

149
00:06:59,400 --> 00:07:02,000
Speaker 1: making enough place my team. And as I said, some guys,

150
00:07:03,640 --> 00:07:06,440
Speaker 1: I know what it does physically for guys, it's rest obviously,

151
00:07:06,560 --> 00:07:08,960
Speaker 1: but mentally they say they need to get away. If

152
00:07:09,000 --> 00:07:11,120
Speaker 1: you strike me as a kind of competitor as you are,

153
00:07:11,200 --> 00:07:14,640
Speaker 1: that it might be difficult to shut off at the lastpect,

154
00:07:15,160 --> 00:07:20,240
Speaker 1: how can I disagree with yours? That's that's I understand

155
00:07:20,320 --> 00:07:22,600
Speaker 1: how I would have probably done it before. Um. Mentally,

156
00:07:22,640 --> 00:07:25,160
Speaker 1: I'm still gonna stay in it with watching film and

157
00:07:25,240 --> 00:07:28,040
Speaker 1: just reflecting on the game and reflecting myself. But with

158
00:07:28,080 --> 00:07:29,840
Speaker 1: this a couple of days, yes, I'm gonna get time

159
00:07:29,880 --> 00:07:32,760
Speaker 1: to to go away and just you know, just take

160
00:07:32,880 --> 00:07:35,360
Speaker 1: my take my mind off the game for a little bit. Um.

161
00:07:35,400 --> 00:07:38,760
Speaker 1: That's you know, obviously after a tough loss, um, and

162
00:07:38,880 --> 00:07:42,520
Speaker 1: I guess a disappointing out disappointed performance from me with

163
00:07:42,680 --> 00:07:46,920
Speaker 1: only one yard um obviously yes, mentally physically you're being up,

164
00:07:46,960 --> 00:07:50,320
Speaker 1: but definitely mentally you know you start, um, I say,

165
00:07:50,440 --> 00:07:53,160
Speaker 1: question yourself. But uh, I was able to have a

166
00:07:53,200 --> 00:07:57,120
Speaker 1: good sit down talk with my father, my family and um,

167
00:07:57,160 --> 00:07:58,520
Speaker 1: you know, they give me a lot of great advice

168
00:07:58,520 --> 00:08:01,280
Speaker 1: to you know, to to get myself back into it.

169
00:08:01,360 --> 00:08:04,600
Speaker 1: And um, so this week I'm just gonna focus on

170
00:08:04,960 --> 00:08:07,280
Speaker 1: watching film and obviously opportunities to be getting practice, take

171
00:08:07,320 --> 00:08:09,600
Speaker 1: advantage of it. Watch the film myself. By the time

172
00:08:09,640 --> 00:08:10,840
Speaker 1: we do get off, you get to spend time with

173
00:08:10,840 --> 00:08:12,880
Speaker 1: my family, spend time with my teammates, um and then

174
00:08:12,880 --> 00:08:14,800
Speaker 1: when I come back after that game, get back to

175
00:08:14,840 --> 00:08:17,200
Speaker 1: be in hawaiim and have that mindset that, uh, no

176
00:08:17,240 --> 00:08:19,160
Speaker 1: matter what happened in the first half the season or

177
00:08:19,400 --> 00:08:22,400
Speaker 1: what happened last week, that I'm the best player in

178
00:08:22,440 --> 00:08:24,160
Speaker 1: the field and when I touched the ball, I'm gonna

179
00:08:24,160 --> 00:08:25,560
Speaker 1: make things happen. I'm gonna get back to that
