1 00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:02,320 Speaker 1: How do you feel about sitting out the last game 2 00:00:02,720 --> 00:00:05,360 Speaker 1: and how would you feel if you sat this one 3 00:00:05,440 --> 00:00:08,400 Speaker 1: as well? Um? I said, I'm always down for what 4 00:00:08,400 --> 00:00:10,719 Speaker 1: coach wants me to do. Um. That was a decision. 5 00:00:11,160 --> 00:00:13,880 Speaker 1: We haven't spoken about what was coming this weekend, um, 6 00:00:13,920 --> 00:00:15,800 Speaker 1: but my mind set just coming ready to prepare to 7 00:00:15,840 --> 00:00:24,400 Speaker 1: play after it was like not hot potato. But oh 8 00:00:24,480 --> 00:00:26,880 Speaker 1: I did clapball. Um. Yeah, I don't even know what's 9 00:00:26,880 --> 00:00:30,000 Speaker 1: a game call. Um, I don't really know. I guess 10 00:00:30,040 --> 00:00:32,320 Speaker 1: they've been doing it and it looked fun. So I 11 00:00:32,400 --> 00:00:36,800 Speaker 1: just kind of joined competition. Who's the best at it? 12 00:00:37,159 --> 00:00:41,640 Speaker 1: Um today Julian and Tyron one. But I think, you know, 13 00:00:41,640 --> 00:00:43,519 Speaker 1: obviously I think I'm the best at it. But you know, 14 00:00:43,560 --> 00:00:47,560 Speaker 1: every every day is different. You got this week one 15 00:00:47,640 --> 00:00:50,239 Speaker 1: game circle for you, you know, in terms of not 16 00:00:50,320 --> 00:00:54,320 Speaker 1: necessarily who you're playing, but just being healthy, being back 17 00:00:54,360 --> 00:00:57,640 Speaker 1: out there, a fresh start during new season. I wouldn't 18 00:00:57,640 --> 00:00:59,960 Speaker 1: really say week one was the one that I circle. 19 00:01:00,480 --> 00:01:03,280 Speaker 1: It was just kind of I just can't just football 20 00:01:03,320 --> 00:01:06,160 Speaker 1: in general, and I was so excited to get back. Um. 21 00:01:06,200 --> 00:01:10,360 Speaker 1: You know, fresh start, new faces, familiar faces, um, and 22 00:01:10,720 --> 00:01:13,240 Speaker 1: even though as long as time, but you know, in 23 00:01:13,280 --> 00:01:16,240 Speaker 1: a weird way. You kind of love the ground of camp, UM, 24 00:01:16,400 --> 00:01:18,240 Speaker 1: and that's where you kind of build your team together, 25 00:01:18,600 --> 00:01:20,440 Speaker 1: find out you know what you what you need to 26 00:01:20,480 --> 00:01:23,679 Speaker 1: work on, find out what thanks that you know we're 27 00:01:23,720 --> 00:01:26,840 Speaker 1: capitalizing on it in camp, and take the onto the season. 28 00:01:26,920 --> 00:01:29,080 Speaker 1: So that's me my mindset. It was never really circling 29 00:01:29,360 --> 00:01:32,480 Speaker 1: week one or a certain game. It's really just coming 30 00:01:32,520 --> 00:01:34,679 Speaker 1: into camp and just from right there's a tack that 31 00:01:34,760 --> 00:01:37,600 Speaker 1: mon tack that day and tack that process and get 32 00:01:37,640 --> 00:01:41,520 Speaker 1: better every day. We have seen a different, different sort 33 00:01:41,560 --> 00:01:43,120 Speaker 1: of public than the air from you going back to 34 00:01:43,200 --> 00:01:49,320 Speaker 1: the spring. UM. Yeah, defiant, like maybe angry at times 35 00:01:49,320 --> 00:01:53,720 Speaker 1: about UM, how you're perceived, Like what is kind of 36 00:01:53,880 --> 00:01:55,840 Speaker 1: you know, dropping an F bomb in the podcast, Not 37 00:01:55,880 --> 00:01:58,000 Speaker 1: that there's anything wrong with that, but what is kind 38 00:01:58,000 --> 00:02:01,840 Speaker 1: of triggered that? Um, it didn't seem like that was 39 00:02:01,920 --> 00:02:04,320 Speaker 1: necessarily you per se your first couple of years, But 40 00:02:05,000 --> 00:02:09,200 Speaker 1: maybe it wasn't. I would say that's always been me, UM. 41 00:02:09,240 --> 00:02:13,960 Speaker 1: I mean, I guess just my mindsets different. Um, It's 42 00:02:14,000 --> 00:02:17,840 Speaker 1: have a different mentality and I'm just in a place 43 00:02:17,880 --> 00:02:22,600 Speaker 1: where I'm thankful, bless and just taking one day at 44 00:02:22,600 --> 00:02:24,880 Speaker 1: a time. I mean, I really. You know, I wouldn't 45 00:02:24,880 --> 00:02:28,760 Speaker 1: say anything triggered it, but you know, I guess I 46 00:02:28,760 --> 00:02:31,960 Speaker 1: would say just probably being out a couple of games 47 00:02:32,040 --> 00:02:34,040 Speaker 1: last two years. It's kind of just being fed up, 48 00:02:34,080 --> 00:02:36,880 Speaker 1: not even with like the outside noise, but just like 49 00:02:36,960 --> 00:02:40,160 Speaker 1: even like with having to sit out games and rehab 50 00:02:40,360 --> 00:02:43,239 Speaker 1: and all that, all the best stuff. I guess you 51 00:02:43,280 --> 00:02:44,720 Speaker 1: could say, I guess I kind of just feed up 52 00:02:44,720 --> 00:02:47,040 Speaker 1: with that. So I kind of just take me to 53 00:02:47,040 --> 00:02:49,400 Speaker 1: a place where it's like right now, I'm just I'm 54 00:02:49,400 --> 00:02:52,440 Speaker 1: just happy enjoying life and join the game I love, 55 00:02:52,520 --> 00:02:54,560 Speaker 1: and I just want to go out there and have fun. 56 00:02:55,600 --> 00:03:01,240 Speaker 1: What from style so far? Um, I like it. He's aggressive. 57 00:03:02,680 --> 00:03:04,560 Speaker 1: I feel like only him, but all the coaches is 58 00:03:04,600 --> 00:03:06,560 Speaker 1: gonna do a really good job, you know, putting your 59 00:03:06,560 --> 00:03:09,320 Speaker 1: playmakers and position to make plays, whether that's an offensive defense, 60 00:03:09,360 --> 00:03:11,840 Speaker 1: and it's our job to go out there and curious, 61 00:03:11,880 --> 00:03:14,200 Speaker 1: what do you mean by aggressive? What do you mean 62 00:03:14,200 --> 00:03:17,160 Speaker 1: when you say aggressive? For example, in the precon game 63 00:03:17,560 --> 00:03:21,880 Speaker 1: last last week, Uh, we had four from one and 64 00:03:21,960 --> 00:03:24,040 Speaker 1: I don't think we we got it, but you know 65 00:03:24,200 --> 00:03:26,079 Speaker 1: you told us once online that's how he is, and 66 00:03:26,120 --> 00:03:27,760 Speaker 1: that's here gonna call it and he's gonna trust nothing, 67 00:03:27,840 --> 00:03:30,440 Speaker 1: So it's on It's on our so it's our job 68 00:03:30,480 --> 00:03:33,680 Speaker 1: and not responsibility. Got there and convert. How do you 69 00:03:33,840 --> 00:03:35,760 Speaker 1: How do you feel where you're at going to see 70 00:03:35,840 --> 00:03:39,880 Speaker 1: from talking about you personally health, just just how you 71 00:03:39,920 --> 00:03:42,360 Speaker 1: feel and already you feel compared to this year in 72 00:03:42,400 --> 00:03:45,520 Speaker 1: the past, Yeah, I'm really ready. Um, you know, if 73 00:03:45,560 --> 00:03:49,720 Speaker 1: I have to compared to last year, um, way way 74 00:03:49,760 --> 00:03:52,880 Speaker 1: beyond what I was before at this point. Last year, 75 00:03:53,360 --> 00:03:57,520 Speaker 1: you know, I just started getting back into to practice 76 00:03:57,560 --> 00:04:01,280 Speaker 1: because New England was our last Precon game last really yeah, 77 00:04:01,320 --> 00:04:04,560 Speaker 1: so I just started getting back to practice, and um, 78 00:04:04,600 --> 00:04:06,760 Speaker 1: you know I really didn't have that much of a 79 00:04:06,840 --> 00:04:09,440 Speaker 1: time just with just how the rehab process went with 80 00:04:09,480 --> 00:04:11,800 Speaker 1: my knee, uh, to get myself right, and now I 81 00:04:11,800 --> 00:04:14,400 Speaker 1: don't have that. I had the whole camp to come 82 00:04:14,400 --> 00:04:17,280 Speaker 1: out every single day, to do a joint practice against 83 00:04:17,279 --> 00:04:20,200 Speaker 1: another team, to go against dex Leo's and all those 84 00:04:20,240 --> 00:04:22,320 Speaker 1: guys and find a way to get better and build 85 00:04:22,320 --> 00:04:25,640 Speaker 1: that chemistry with with Police and and and Drew and Nail. 86 00:04:25,800 --> 00:04:29,000 Speaker 1: So I would say, compare last year, you know, it's 87 00:04:29,000 --> 00:04:31,839 Speaker 1: not even close. And um that's why I keep saying 88 00:04:31,839 --> 00:04:34,360 Speaker 1: I'm just thankful because I can go back any time, 89 00:04:34,720 --> 00:04:36,200 Speaker 1: Like I'm I said, like, I know it's a camp 90 00:04:36,279 --> 00:04:38,440 Speaker 1: to ground anytime. I'm like dang, like but as I 91 00:04:38,400 --> 00:04:40,440 Speaker 1: always go back. But you couldn't even do it at 92 00:04:40,440 --> 00:04:43,800 Speaker 1: this moment last year. So take full advan of specific 93 00:04:43,880 --> 00:04:46,640 Speaker 1: you can do, like it's specific you're talking about where 94 00:04:46,640 --> 00:04:48,200 Speaker 1: you're like, I can't. I couldn't do this last year. 95 00:04:48,440 --> 00:04:54,600 Speaker 1: I couldn't practice. I couldn't like I couldn't really, I 96 00:04:54,640 --> 00:04:57,880 Speaker 1: couldn't practice. I couldn't really do like anything. I was 97 00:04:57,920 --> 00:05:02,960 Speaker 1: on the side, uh running on the third field. UM, 98 00:05:02,960 --> 00:05:05,360 Speaker 1: just trying to assimilate practice as much as I can. 99 00:05:05,920 --> 00:05:09,120 Speaker 1: And it's like there's no way to get the mind 100 00:05:09,160 --> 00:05:12,520 Speaker 1: and get the body and get it physical shape for 101 00:05:12,680 --> 00:05:15,800 Speaker 1: football and then like actually playing football. UM. I use 102 00:05:15,839 --> 00:05:18,280 Speaker 1: the example like when you guys in high school and 103 00:05:18,279 --> 00:05:19,920 Speaker 1: people has played football high school, and then you go 104 00:05:20,000 --> 00:05:22,160 Speaker 1: right to the basketball season and you think you're in 105 00:05:22,160 --> 00:05:23,919 Speaker 1: shape because you play football all year, and then you 106 00:05:23,920 --> 00:05:26,160 Speaker 1: go to basketball and you're not in basketball shape, and 107 00:05:26,240 --> 00:05:28,520 Speaker 1: just two complete, two completely different things. And the only 108 00:05:28,560 --> 00:05:30,480 Speaker 1: way you can get in football shape is about going 109 00:05:30,480 --> 00:05:32,480 Speaker 1: out there and playing football. And that's why I was 110 00:05:32,480 --> 00:05:34,480 Speaker 1: not able to do at this point last year, How 111 00:05:34,920 --> 00:05:38,200 Speaker 1: much better is your offense with Chef on the field 112 00:05:38,440 --> 00:05:40,520 Speaker 1: that off of it? Like, how how does he change 113 00:05:40,520 --> 00:05:41,920 Speaker 1: with that at I want to say the offense, I 114 00:05:41,960 --> 00:05:44,520 Speaker 1: would just say the team. Um. Everyone know I'm a 115 00:05:44,520 --> 00:05:48,360 Speaker 1: big believer in Chep. That's one of my best friends. Um, 116 00:05:48,400 --> 00:05:52,359 Speaker 1: obviously you know, just we're closer, not just as teammates, 117 00:05:52,360 --> 00:05:55,560 Speaker 1: but outside of team, outside of football. Dog my daughter 118 00:05:55,600 --> 00:05:57,919 Speaker 1: is really close with his daughters. Um. And you know, 119 00:05:58,000 --> 00:06:00,440 Speaker 1: to see him back on the field, Uh, all smiles 120 00:06:00,440 --> 00:06:03,560 Speaker 1: to my face. Um, you know actually hurt me when 121 00:06:03,560 --> 00:06:05,560 Speaker 1: he got hurt that game I remember to play. I 122 00:06:05,640 --> 00:06:07,880 Speaker 1: was just like, oh man, it can't be. It can't be. 123 00:06:08,040 --> 00:06:09,680 Speaker 1: But just see it all the hard the work that 124 00:06:09,720 --> 00:06:12,680 Speaker 1: he put in and just finally get back on the field. Um, 125 00:06:12,800 --> 00:06:14,320 Speaker 1: and I'll just make the offense better, just make the 126 00:06:14,320 --> 00:06:18,039 Speaker 1: team better. Because his personality, his character, his leadership and 127 00:06:18,080 --> 00:06:22,279 Speaker 1: his energy. Anyone, anyone would say anything, if anyone has 128 00:06:22,360 --> 00:06:24,159 Speaker 1: anything about Chef, the first thing we'll talk about just 129 00:06:24,160 --> 00:06:25,560 Speaker 1: the way how he's able to light of the room 130 00:06:25,760 --> 00:06:28,520 Speaker 1: no matter what what what's going on. So that's big 131 00:06:28,560 --> 00:06:30,680 Speaker 1: and supporting and I'm excited for him. The show too. 132 00:06:30,920 --> 00:06:33,800 Speaker 1: What what what does he bring to your offense that's 133 00:06:33,880 --> 00:06:37,600 Speaker 1: so unique that like what can he adds? He's still young, 134 00:06:38,240 --> 00:06:42,960 Speaker 1: I mean that's what That's what I keep saying that 135 00:06:43,040 --> 00:06:46,200 Speaker 1: I keep saying, like the young Chip name kind of 136 00:06:46,240 --> 00:06:48,760 Speaker 1: got I mean, we still call him young Chef, but 137 00:06:48,960 --> 00:06:51,320 Speaker 1: I joke and tell him you about thirty. So like 138 00:06:51,360 --> 00:06:53,360 Speaker 1: the young Chef thing kind of gotta go away. But 139 00:06:53,760 --> 00:06:55,200 Speaker 1: at the end of the day, like seeing him run 140 00:06:55,279 --> 00:06:57,240 Speaker 1: routes and see him go out there, he's still young Chip, 141 00:06:57,320 --> 00:06:59,320 Speaker 1: meaning like he's a guy that's gonna come out there 142 00:06:59,440 --> 00:07:02,039 Speaker 1: with energy and he can make plays and uh, you know, 143 00:07:02,080 --> 00:07:03,880 Speaker 1: I feel like and I don't want to speak for him, 144 00:07:03,920 --> 00:07:06,240 Speaker 1: but I know his mindset, his confidence. I feel like 145 00:07:06,279 --> 00:07:08,240 Speaker 1: no one can can mess him out there, and that's 146 00:07:08,240 --> 00:07:10,720 Speaker 1: important to have a guy out there that, uh, you know, 147 00:07:10,840 --> 00:07:13,200 Speaker 1: can play at that level. Um Man, Like I said, 148 00:07:13,200 --> 00:07:17,040 Speaker 1: I'm really excited for him come back. Obviously we're not 149 00:07:17,280 --> 00:07:19,720 Speaker 1: two week one yet, but obviously you're going on the 150 00:07:19,720 --> 00:07:22,280 Speaker 1: same field as Derrick Henry. You're obviously I'm playing against him, 151 00:07:22,320 --> 00:07:24,080 Speaker 1: per se, one of the best backs somebody. When you 152 00:07:24,120 --> 00:07:26,240 Speaker 1: step on the field of a guy like that, obviously, 153 00:07:26,280 --> 00:07:28,480 Speaker 1: not at the same time, do you wanna go into 154 00:07:28,520 --> 00:07:30,280 Speaker 1: that game saying I want to show just as good 155 00:07:30,280 --> 00:07:34,840 Speaker 1: as this dude. Um, yeah, I kind of had that 156 00:07:34,960 --> 00:07:39,440 Speaker 1: mindset in college. Um, but then I realized, like I 157 00:07:39,520 --> 00:07:43,160 Speaker 1: have no like there's nothing I can do to control 158 00:07:43,240 --> 00:07:46,720 Speaker 1: what he does. But like it's like it's but even 159 00:07:46,720 --> 00:07:48,280 Speaker 1: if say if I rushed for this amount of like 160 00:07:48,280 --> 00:07:50,600 Speaker 1: there's it's not like a head on battle, you know 161 00:07:50,600 --> 00:07:52,360 Speaker 1: what I mean. Obviously at the any year you everyone 162 00:07:52,360 --> 00:07:54,600 Speaker 1: wants to crown, wants the Russian title if you play 163 00:07:54,640 --> 00:07:57,320 Speaker 1: the running back position, like, there's nothing I like personally 164 00:07:57,400 --> 00:08:00,400 Speaker 1: can do. So like for me, like that was kind 165 00:08:00,400 --> 00:08:02,240 Speaker 1: of more of my mindset in high school and college, 166 00:08:02,520 --> 00:08:05,240 Speaker 1: but now, like I mean, there is something to it 167 00:08:05,280 --> 00:08:08,680 Speaker 1: as a competitor, Like you know, I already know, like 168 00:08:08,720 --> 00:08:10,679 Speaker 1: it's going to be in a game where Derrick Henry 169 00:08:10,680 --> 00:08:12,320 Speaker 1: over here with John Ta Taylor's over the side, with 170 00:08:12,360 --> 00:08:15,040 Speaker 1: Christian mcaffrey's on the other side, Um, Aaron Jones on 171 00:08:15,040 --> 00:08:16,800 Speaker 1: the other side, Like you know, you have so much 172 00:08:16,800 --> 00:08:20,560 Speaker 1: more respect for those backs, and um, you take it 173 00:08:20,600 --> 00:08:22,280 Speaker 1: personal at the end of the day, Yeah you do. 174 00:08:22,360 --> 00:08:24,600 Speaker 1: But like at the end of the day, I can't 175 00:08:24,600 --> 00:08:27,160 Speaker 1: control anything that they do. So my mom said, just 176 00:08:27,200 --> 00:08:29,440 Speaker 1: to go out there and just be the best version 177 00:08:29,480 --> 00:08:30,920 Speaker 1: of myself and be the best that I can be. 178 00:08:31,400 --> 00:08:32,960 Speaker 1: And you know, at the end of the day, hopefully 179 00:08:33,400 --> 00:08:34,840 Speaker 1: you know, the only thing that really matters that your 180 00:08:34,840 --> 00:08:37,760 Speaker 1: team winning.
