1
00:00:00,280 --> 00:00:04,000
Speaker 1: Be like and how different in any ways it ended

2
00:00:04,080 --> 00:00:04,440
Speaker 1: up betting.

3
00:00:04,960 --> 00:00:08,240
Speaker 2: You know, really just for me, it was really just

4
00:00:08,240 --> 00:00:10,880
Speaker 2: about getting better, progressing and putting my you know, my

5
00:00:10,920 --> 00:00:14,160
Speaker 2: front foot forward and continuing to grow. So for that,

6
00:00:14,320 --> 00:00:16,320
Speaker 2: you know, it's kind of exactly what I what I

7
00:00:16,360 --> 00:00:18,520
Speaker 2: expected to do. I feel like, you know, uls you

8
00:00:18,560 --> 00:00:21,680
Speaker 2: prepare me for what what what was to come in

9
00:00:21,720 --> 00:00:24,400
Speaker 2: his in his next level. So just being able to

10
00:00:24,720 --> 00:00:27,639
Speaker 2: put everything learned past and you know, getting all the

11
00:00:27,680 --> 00:00:29,920
Speaker 2: things that I've learned from the vest and coaches and

12
00:00:29,960 --> 00:00:33,040
Speaker 2: every everybody in the room. I think it's a bit

13
00:00:33,120 --> 00:00:35,120
Speaker 2: it's been very very good for me, you know, a

14
00:00:35,200 --> 00:00:37,080
Speaker 2: very good transition. I feel like, you know, it's always

15
00:00:37,120 --> 00:00:38,919
Speaker 2: room for improvement, but you know, just putting my best

16
00:00:38,960 --> 00:00:41,720
Speaker 2: foot forward and continue what what do you think that's putting?

17
00:00:42,159 --> 00:00:44,600
Speaker 2: Have you found to be the toughest thing about camps?

18
00:00:44,880 --> 00:00:48,400
Speaker 2: You know, really just consistency, you know, coming into coming

19
00:00:48,440 --> 00:00:50,280
Speaker 2: into the next level. You know, that's something that I

20
00:00:50,800 --> 00:00:52,800
Speaker 2: really wanted to focus on, you know, just not being

21
00:00:52,880 --> 00:00:55,120
Speaker 2: up and down and you know, not having a great

22
00:00:55,120 --> 00:00:57,120
Speaker 2: game and then coming back in and having a great game.

23
00:00:57,160 --> 00:00:59,800
Speaker 2: So it's just you know, more about being more consistent

24
00:01:00,160 --> 00:01:03,360
Speaker 2: and I I I think that still applies to this day. Like,

25
00:01:03,400 --> 00:01:06,040
Speaker 2: you know, just being able to stay at a high

26
00:01:06,080 --> 00:01:07,880
Speaker 2: playing at a high level each and every game, each

27
00:01:07,880 --> 00:01:10,039
Speaker 2: and ever practice. You know, you gotta bring it every

28
00:01:10,080 --> 00:01:12,120
Speaker 2: day in this league. So just being able to do

91
00:03:57,880 --> 00:04:02,120
Speaker 2: freshman year and Cam had like a walk off kick

92
00:04:02,400 --> 00:04:06,240
Speaker 2: and he hit the gritty after they won. But you know,

93
00:04:06,440 --> 00:04:08,400
Speaker 2: just looking back on that, the first thing that he

94
00:04:08,480 --> 00:04:11,480

00:04:31,520 --> 00:04:34,120
Speaker 2: coming into this and to this level of football, you know,

103
00:04:34,160 --> 00:04:36,919
Speaker 2: he's he was actually one of the guys that I

104
00:04:37,000 --> 00:04:39,719
Speaker 2: kind of followed after, you know, just being a bigger

105
00:04:39,720 --> 00:04:42,640
Speaker 2: body defensive lineman, being able to play the you know,

106
00:04:42,720 --> 00:04:44,880
Speaker 2: the big nd spot to the three tech to the

107
00:04:45,040 --> 00:04:48,679
Speaker 2: you know, the nose spot. He's very versatile. So looking

108
00:04:48,720 --> 00:04:50,760
Speaker 2: at myself and you know, I see a lot of

109
00:04:50,800 --> 00:04:54,200
Speaker 2: myself or I see you know, I see myself in

110
00:04:54,360 --> 00:04:57,320
Speaker 2: some of him. So, you know, just taking the things

111
00:04:57,360 --> 00:04:59,599
Speaker 2: like today in past rush, you know, working moves, different

112
00:04:59,640 --> 00:05:01,680
Speaker 2: types of those things that he that works for him

113
00:05:01,839 --> 00:05:04,200
Speaker 2: could also work for me, just because the statue wise,

114
00:05:04,520 --> 00:05:07,200
Speaker 2: you know, we're kind of similar. But he's been giving

115
00:05:07,200 --> 00:05:09,719
Speaker 2: me a lot of great tips, you know for somebody

116
00:05:09,720 --> 00:05:11,320
Speaker 2: that has done it at a high level for a

117
00:05:11,360 --> 00:05:14,200
Speaker 2: long time. And you know that's someone someone something that

118
00:05:14,240 --> 00:05:17,200
Speaker 2: I'm you know, aspiring to do. You know, I I

119
00:05:17,240 --> 00:05:20,400
Speaker 2: definitely get a lot of feedback and everything from him

120
00:05:20,440 --> 00:05:21,360
Speaker 2: as much as I can.

121
00:05:21,440 --> 00:05:25,919
Speaker 1: How about your time you find yourself spending watching film.

122
00:05:25,880 --> 00:05:30,920
Speaker 2: With Jordan's Okay? You know so coach Drake uh uh

123
00:05:31,120 --> 00:05:34,040
Speaker 2: five time Pro Bowl a twelve year offensive alignment center

124
00:05:34,400 --> 00:05:36,960
Speaker 2: playing for Dallas. Uh Cause Drake told me something when

125
00:05:36,960 --> 00:05:39,120
Speaker 2: he first got here, and it was about extra time.

126
00:05:40,160 --> 00:05:42,080
Speaker 2: He was like, if you put in forty five minutes

127
00:05:42,120 --> 00:05:45,160
Speaker 2: each and every day to watching film, whether it's film

128
00:05:45,279 --> 00:05:48,360
Speaker 2: or anything football related, you'll be that much of ahead

129
00:05:48,360 --> 00:05:51,760
Speaker 2: of your opponent. So we tend to spend forty five

130
00:05:51,800 --> 00:05:54,400
Speaker 2: minutes a day just watching film and doing other things

131
00:05:54,440 --> 00:05:58,720
Speaker 2: like that, you know, just getting the adjustments needed and uh,

132
00:05:59,040 --> 00:06:01,680
Speaker 2: you know, just get the off the opponent's offenses down,

133
00:06:01,800 --> 00:06:05,760
Speaker 2: you know. Uh, and everything like that backsets everything like that.

134
00:06:05,920 --> 00:06:09,080
Speaker 2: So just knowing my opponent better and you know, being

135
00:06:09,160 --> 00:06:13,159
Speaker 2: critical and being critical and what I'm doing on the field.

136
00:06:13,640 --> 00:06:16,719
Speaker 2: You know, everything not gonna be perfect, like I said,

137
00:06:16,760 --> 00:06:18,400
Speaker 2: but you know, you try to make it as perfect

138
00:06:18,440 --> 00:06:20,640
Speaker 2: as you can. So you know in the game it

139
00:06:20,720 --> 00:06:21,400
Speaker 2: comes easier
