1
00:00:00,200 --> 00:00:02,080
Speaker 1: Let's been your reaction to playing so much on the

2
00:00:02,080 --> 00:00:04,760
Speaker 1: first team unit. Um, it's good. I mean, I think

3
00:00:04,760 --> 00:00:07,280
Speaker 1: it's good to get the experience. Um, Like you said,

4
00:00:07,280 --> 00:00:09,760
Speaker 1: the repetitions and getting out there. I think the best

5
00:00:09,800 --> 00:00:11,719
Speaker 1: thing is being out there, being able to go through it,

6
00:00:11,960 --> 00:00:15,880
Speaker 1: um and kind of real game situation simulation type things,

7
00:00:15,920 --> 00:00:17,599
Speaker 1: just to get to feel for it. Obviously have a

8
00:00:17,640 --> 00:00:19,960
Speaker 1: lot of learning to do and improve it, but it

9
00:00:19,960 --> 00:00:22,320
Speaker 1: feels good to be out there getting reps. What kind

10
00:00:22,320 --> 00:00:24,200
Speaker 1: of experience do you have working on the slot, because

11
00:00:24,200 --> 00:00:25,760
Speaker 1: we've kind of seen you doing that with a lot

12
00:00:25,760 --> 00:00:28,440
Speaker 1: of ideas. I've did it in the past. I mean

13
00:00:28,480 --> 00:00:30,080
Speaker 1: I've did it a lot, did something in college also,

14
00:00:30,120 --> 00:00:32,200
Speaker 1: so I feel comfortable by me. A lot of guys

15
00:00:32,200 --> 00:00:34,000
Speaker 1: don't think or a lot of people don't think that.

16
00:00:34,120 --> 00:00:36,480
Speaker 1: You know, tallert receivers are supposed to be in the slot,

17
00:00:36,479 --> 00:00:38,280
Speaker 1: But I mean I feel comfortable all over the field

18
00:00:38,280 --> 00:00:40,720
Speaker 1: wherever I can be to help the team. So wherever

19
00:00:40,720 --> 00:00:42,600
Speaker 1: they want to put me out, I try to go

20
00:00:42,640 --> 00:00:44,560
Speaker 1: and do it. It It is usually kind of a smaller

21
00:00:44,600 --> 00:00:46,559
Speaker 1: player in that role, especially in this offense. Did they

22
00:00:46,600 --> 00:00:48,600
Speaker 1: tell you it all why they like you out of

23
00:00:48,600 --> 00:00:52,040
Speaker 1: the slot? In this offense. Um, No, we haven't spoken

24
00:00:52,080 --> 00:00:55,000
Speaker 1: anything about that. It's just whatever they call, you know,

25
00:00:55,040 --> 00:00:57,319
Speaker 1: wherever we line up is. You know, I just try

26
00:00:57,320 --> 00:00:59,600
Speaker 1: to go out there and execute it and do the

27
00:00:59,600 --> 00:01:01,840
Speaker 1: best I can do to help. What do you remember

28
00:01:01,840 --> 00:01:06,920
Speaker 1: from the preseason game you played here last year? Year? Uh?

29
00:01:07,000 --> 00:01:10,759
Speaker 1: Last year? That the first game, Okay. I just remember

30
00:01:10,760 --> 00:01:12,800
Speaker 1: going out there just trying to, you know, perform. Like

31
00:01:12,800 --> 00:01:15,920
Speaker 1: you said, every game is an important preseason or regular season,

32
00:01:15,959 --> 00:01:18,000
Speaker 1: so I just tried to go and and and play

33
00:01:18,120 --> 00:01:21,160
Speaker 1: my best. Um that you know, obviously, the Patriots are great.

34
00:01:21,240 --> 00:01:24,440
Speaker 1: Their defense is really good, offense really good. So it

35
00:01:24,480 --> 00:01:25,880
Speaker 1: was good to get out there and go against some

36
00:01:25,920 --> 00:01:27,840
Speaker 1: of the guys and things like that. They compete hard

37
00:01:27,840 --> 00:01:30,000
Speaker 1: and played hard, so it was good to be able

38
00:01:30,000 --> 00:01:32,000
Speaker 1: to get out there and see that. How if you

39
00:01:32,040 --> 00:01:35,400
Speaker 1: found this offense to transition into it, you feel comfortable

40
00:01:35,440 --> 00:01:38,760
Speaker 1: and there, Yeah, I feel comfortable. I think each day

41
00:01:38,840 --> 00:01:41,479
Speaker 1: is a learning process for me. Since I'm new, I'm

42
00:01:41,520 --> 00:01:43,640
Speaker 1: just taking it one day at a time. I'm just

43
00:01:43,720 --> 00:01:45,319
Speaker 1: kind of picking up on things here and there and

44
00:01:45,400 --> 00:01:47,960
Speaker 1: just learning as I go. Um, Like you said, it's different.

45
00:01:48,000 --> 00:01:50,880
Speaker 1: I'm new here, so it's a lot of learning, but

46
00:01:50,960 --> 00:01:53,400
Speaker 1: the experience that I'm getting on the field and the

47
00:01:53,480 --> 00:01:56,160
Speaker 1: meetings and stuff like that is good. There have been

48
00:01:56,160 --> 00:01:59,080
Speaker 1: some veteran seniors that have come in here with mixed success.

49
00:01:59,160 --> 00:02:00,880
Speaker 1: Some of we picked it up right away and someone's

50
00:02:00,880 --> 00:02:03,440
Speaker 1: really struggles. I felt yeah so far in terms, so

51
00:02:03,560 --> 00:02:07,280
Speaker 1: because come from I feel pretty good. Um yea, I

52
00:02:07,280 --> 00:02:10,240
Speaker 1: feel pretty good, just like you said. The older guys,

53
00:02:10,320 --> 00:02:13,240
Speaker 1: Julian feel it. Those guys they um help out a

54
00:02:13,240 --> 00:02:15,200
Speaker 1: lot and help with the communication part and you know,

55
00:02:15,280 --> 00:02:17,200
Speaker 1: just trying to get everybody called up, me the young

56
00:02:17,240 --> 00:02:19,240
Speaker 1: guys whoever, so we can all perform it at our

57
00:02:19,280 --> 00:02:22,120
Speaker 1: best ability. From the outside, if you would think, you know,

58
00:02:22,200 --> 00:02:24,280
Speaker 1: they're having new work inside and outside. Like Duck said,

59
00:02:24,320 --> 00:02:26,360
Speaker 1: you're working a lot in the slide. They have to

60
00:02:26,360 --> 00:02:29,400
Speaker 1: be pretty happy with your progression. So yeah, I mean

61
00:02:29,440 --> 00:02:32,680
Speaker 1: I feel pretty good like you said, outside inside, Um,

62
00:02:32,760 --> 00:02:34,200
Speaker 1: I mean it doesn't matter to me. I like to

63
00:02:34,200 --> 00:02:35,880
Speaker 1: go out there and just you know, try to perform

64
00:02:35,960 --> 00:02:38,280
Speaker 1: the best I can and learn. And you know the

65
00:02:38,280 --> 00:02:40,280
Speaker 1: speed of the game is pretty fast, so it's got

66
00:02:40,280 --> 00:02:43,040
Speaker 1: to continue to pick up on the plays and you know,

67
00:02:43,080 --> 00:02:45,360
Speaker 1: the defenses and stuff like that. So I feel good

68
00:02:46,560 --> 00:02:51,600
Speaker 1: with Tom and Herrick Manicamp. No, No, just the first

69
00:02:51,600 --> 00:02:53,280
Speaker 1: time meeting him a couple of days ago and stuff.

70
00:02:53,280 --> 00:02:55,760
Speaker 1: He's a great guy, so I look forward to working

71
00:02:55,840 --> 00:02:58,800
Speaker 1: with him. How much experienced played a lot off the

72
00:02:58,800 --> 00:03:00,920
Speaker 1: line of scrimmage, it seems come in motion or your

73
00:03:01,000 --> 00:03:06,800
Speaker 1: jet sweeps. How much experiences kind of the ball carrier? Almost?

74
00:03:06,880 --> 00:03:09,160
Speaker 1: I mean I feel pretty confident with ball handling and

75
00:03:09,200 --> 00:03:11,359
Speaker 1: stuff like that. I did it in the past. UM,

76
00:03:11,360 --> 00:03:14,280
Speaker 1: so I feel comfortable, um with whatever they try to

77
00:03:14,440 --> 00:03:16,600
Speaker 1: you know, call and things like that. I just try

78
00:03:16,639 --> 00:03:18,799
Speaker 1: to fit so that way we don't have to, um

79
00:03:19,160 --> 00:03:21,200
Speaker 1: try to scheme anything up any dollars for whatever they

80
00:03:21,200 --> 00:03:23,200
Speaker 1: want to want me to go. UM, I go and

81
00:03:23,520 --> 00:03:27,240
Speaker 1: do it the best my ability. By like what you've

82
00:03:27,240 --> 00:03:29,280
Speaker 1: been able to show, even though it's as early as

83
00:03:29,280 --> 00:03:31,840
Speaker 1: it instant, I'll still have you've been encouraged by the

84
00:03:31,880 --> 00:03:34,840
Speaker 1: progress that that you've seen from yourself. Uh, yeah, I

85
00:03:34,840 --> 00:03:36,840
Speaker 1: feel pretty good. I'm still I'll still have a lot

86
00:03:36,880 --> 00:03:39,880
Speaker 1: to work on UM each day. You know, it's always

87
00:03:39,920 --> 00:03:41,840
Speaker 1: something to work on, and you know, I try not

88
00:03:41,880 --> 00:03:44,000
Speaker 1: to make the same mistakes twice and just go out

89
00:03:44,000 --> 00:03:46,840
Speaker 1: there and just perform. UM to play hard you know,

90
00:03:47,120 --> 00:03:49,640
Speaker 1: control things that I can control, you know, effort things

91
00:03:49,680 --> 00:03:52,640
Speaker 1: like that. So I'm just a learning process. But you know,

92
00:03:52,680 --> 00:03:57,600
Speaker 1: I enjoy it and I appreciate it with Washington. So

93
00:03:57,880 --> 00:03:59,320
Speaker 1: do you know that this is almost kind of a

94
00:03:59,320 --> 00:04:03,320
Speaker 1: fresh start to mere Uh. I mean I don't look

95
00:04:03,360 --> 00:04:05,440
Speaker 1: at it that way. Like I said, I just take

96
00:04:05,480 --> 00:04:07,880
Speaker 1: it one day at a time. Um, just try to

97
00:04:07,960 --> 00:04:10,080
Speaker 1: you know, control what I can control what's in front

98
00:04:10,080 --> 00:04:12,280
Speaker 1: of me right then and there, and maximize that and

99
00:04:12,640 --> 00:04:14,520
Speaker 1: I think the rest to take care of yourself. We've

100
00:04:14,520 --> 00:04:16,600
Speaker 1: seen Truck Brown and Den Branch out there. What's been

101
00:04:16,640 --> 00:04:19,000
Speaker 1: like working with those guys. Oh, they're great. They're great. Um,

102
00:04:19,040 --> 00:04:22,680
Speaker 1: they're a great source of uh of knowledge with the game.

103
00:04:22,720 --> 00:04:25,520
Speaker 1: They played a long time. Obviously they're they're great players

104
00:04:25,520 --> 00:04:27,520
Speaker 1: and stuff. So they've helped out a lot with the

105
00:04:28,240 --> 00:04:30,120
Speaker 1: things that they might have been through that we haven't

106
00:04:30,279 --> 00:04:32,360
Speaker 1: or you know whatever. We're going out there and they

107
00:04:32,400 --> 00:04:34,400
Speaker 1: can show up some stuff and teach us some things

108
00:04:34,440 --> 00:04:37,000
Speaker 1: that will help us out. I mentioned earlier sing first

109
00:04:37,160 --> 00:04:39,120
Speaker 1: few years what was it about the Patriots? But maybe

110
00:04:39,120 --> 00:04:41,560
Speaker 1: you want to come here. Um, I mean it's a

111
00:04:41,600 --> 00:04:44,840
Speaker 1: great organization. Uh, you know, it's not I don't think

112
00:04:44,880 --> 00:04:48,240
Speaker 1: anybody will pass up the opportunity. So you know, I

113
00:04:48,360 --> 00:04:51,560
Speaker 1: was just thankful that they contacted me and wanted me

114
00:04:51,600 --> 00:04:55,040
Speaker 1: to come play. So I appreciate that. BIL offenses since

115
00:04:55,560 --> 00:05:00,240
Speaker 1: teaching camp compared to the training camp one kind of

116
00:05:00,279 --> 00:05:03,680
Speaker 1: the competition. Yeah, do you feel like this time of

117
00:05:03,760 --> 00:05:06,440
Speaker 1: year is this competition? Though? You look at the receiver room,

118
00:05:06,480 --> 00:05:08,120
Speaker 1: there's a lot of there's a lot of guys in there,

119
00:05:08,120 --> 00:05:10,200
Speaker 1: a lot of talent there. Do you view this time

120
00:05:10,200 --> 00:05:13,240
Speaker 1: of year as a competitive time of year? Yeah? I

121
00:05:13,279 --> 00:05:15,480
Speaker 1: mean I think when you're you know, you're playing ball

122
00:05:15,560 --> 00:05:19,800
Speaker 1: and at any level or where where the spring faught whatever,

123
00:05:19,839 --> 00:05:22,440
Speaker 1: I think, Um, you know, the drive for athlete and

124
00:05:23,000 --> 00:05:26,160
Speaker 1: professional player, you know, you always want to compete. So um,

125
00:05:26,200 --> 00:05:28,400
Speaker 1: the other certain times where you know we might have

126
00:05:28,400 --> 00:05:31,680
Speaker 1: to slow things down, you know, really emphasize on the teaching.

127
00:05:31,760 --> 00:05:34,080
Speaker 1: But I mean there's time times will be competitive also,

128
00:05:34,160 --> 00:05:36,640
Speaker 1: so um, it depends on you know, what the coaches

129
00:05:36,680 --> 00:05:38,760
Speaker 1: want and things like that. But I mean I think

130
00:05:38,760 --> 00:05:40,800
Speaker 1: we're all competing, you know, every day,
