1
00:00:00,280 --> 00:00:04,000
Speaker 1: Hey, jj I, you were talking to Ivan Beers. He

2
00:00:04,120 --> 00:00:09,360
Speaker 1: said that he, um, little Dion, little Dion Lewis. I'm

3
00:00:09,360 --> 00:00:12,760
Speaker 1: wondering if you watched any of his film or there's

4
00:00:12,800 --> 00:00:14,440
Speaker 1: any other back kind of that size that you try

5
00:00:14,440 --> 00:00:20,319
Speaker 1: and model your Um. I mean, I really just try

6
00:00:20,360 --> 00:00:24,599
Speaker 1: to try to model my game after myself, not to

7
00:00:24,680 --> 00:00:28,520
Speaker 1: be like, you know, just thinking about me, but I

8
00:00:28,600 --> 00:00:32,879
Speaker 1: mean the play style that I have is has to

9
00:00:32,920 --> 00:00:37,000
Speaker 1: be different. Um. You know, you can model yourself after

10
00:00:37,280 --> 00:00:41,280
Speaker 1: dudes that have similarities. But I mean there's not many

11
00:00:41,400 --> 00:00:43,560
Speaker 1: backs that are small in the league right now. There's

12
00:00:43,560 --> 00:00:45,920
Speaker 1: a few, But I just try to do what I

13
00:00:46,000 --> 00:00:49,879
Speaker 1: do and um, learn from my teammates and coaches and

14
00:00:50,000 --> 00:00:54,560
Speaker 1: go from there. Thanks for going to Matt Dola, followed

15
00:00:54,560 --> 00:00:58,680
Speaker 1: by Max Serula. Thanks Mike, JJ to me, thanks for

16
00:00:58,720 --> 00:01:02,680
Speaker 1: taking the time. Uh. Do you pride yourself on being versatile?

17
00:01:02,680 --> 00:01:04,680
Speaker 1: Because I know you have experienced in the kicking game,

18
00:01:04,920 --> 00:01:08,320
Speaker 1: return game, I mean, and pass catching. What does that

19
00:01:08,319 --> 00:01:11,640
Speaker 1: mean to you to be versatile? UM? It just means

20
00:01:11,680 --> 00:01:16,160
Speaker 1: that you know, you're your opportunities open up a lot more.

21
00:01:16,200 --> 00:01:18,520
Speaker 1: You know. I try to do whatever it is that

22
00:01:18,640 --> 00:01:20,640
Speaker 1: the coaches ask for me, and I try to, you know,

23
00:01:20,720 --> 00:01:23,840
Speaker 1: perfect that craft and work on everything that you know

24
00:01:24,200 --> 00:01:29,120
Speaker 1: I can possibly do in the future. What's it been

25
00:01:29,160 --> 00:01:31,880
Speaker 1: like working with Kim Newton. We've seen the energy out there.

26
00:01:31,920 --> 00:01:34,960
Speaker 1: It's been a little it's been fresh different to see, uh,

27
00:01:35,080 --> 00:01:37,200
Speaker 1: see him out there. What's it like working with him?

28
00:01:38,280 --> 00:01:41,240
Speaker 1: His energy is great, just like every other you know,

29
00:01:41,319 --> 00:01:43,440
Speaker 1: quarterback on the team, and just like every other player.

30
00:01:44,160 --> 00:01:48,080
Speaker 1: Um playing at this level or getting here has actually

31
00:01:48,120 --> 00:01:51,080
Speaker 1: been a lot different than what I've seen before. And

32
00:01:51,120 --> 00:01:55,640
Speaker 1: everybody's energies, you know, always at the top and always

33
00:01:55,680 --> 00:01:57,560
Speaker 1: you know, the best energy you can possibly be around,

34
00:01:57,600 --> 00:02:02,440
Speaker 1: and it just makes it compet of level a lot higher. Sorry,

35
00:02:02,440 --> 00:02:04,640
Speaker 1: we've got to turn my camera, but thank you appreciate it.

36
00:02:06,760 --> 00:02:09,000
Speaker 1: Next we'll go to Max Arulo and I'll ask anybody

37
00:02:09,040 --> 00:02:11,160
Speaker 1: else as a question for JJ, please raise your hand.

38
00:02:11,639 --> 00:02:14,880
Speaker 1: So we'll go to Max Arulo and then Eric rud Hey, JJ,

39
00:02:15,000 --> 00:02:17,560
Speaker 1: how's it going. It's going good? How are you doing? Oh?

40
00:02:17,560 --> 00:02:19,720
Speaker 1: I'm doing good. Hey, So I wanted to ask about

41
00:02:19,720 --> 00:02:22,680
Speaker 1: the vibe and the stadium today. You have you know,

42
00:02:22,800 --> 00:02:25,800
Speaker 1: the entire place is basically empty and we got the

43
00:02:25,800 --> 00:02:28,080
Speaker 1: crowd noise going on. What kind of what was that

44
00:02:28,160 --> 00:02:29,480
Speaker 1: like for you to be out there playing in a

45
00:02:29,760 --> 00:02:32,320
Speaker 1: I guess we'll say a semi competitive situation with a

46
00:02:32,760 --> 00:02:36,520
Speaker 1: kind of that sort of atmosphere. Um, I mean, it's

47
00:02:37,240 --> 00:02:39,000
Speaker 1: at the end of the day, it's just it's just

48
00:02:39,040 --> 00:02:42,720
Speaker 1: another day of playing football. No matter the crowd or

49
00:02:43,280 --> 00:02:45,480
Speaker 1: who's there. You always got to come out and perform

50
00:02:45,520 --> 00:02:48,239
Speaker 1: and you know, have the right mental state to play

51
00:02:48,280 --> 00:02:52,560
Speaker 1: the game and know your assignments. All right. So on

52
00:02:52,960 --> 00:02:54,760
Speaker 1: a day like today where there isn't a lot of

53
00:02:54,800 --> 00:02:57,120
Speaker 1: hitting going on, how does it work for you guys

54
00:02:57,120 --> 00:03:00,239
Speaker 1: as running backs? Since you know, what sort of things

55
00:03:00,240 --> 00:03:02,800
Speaker 1: do you focus on that you look to work on

56
00:03:02,880 --> 00:03:06,920
Speaker 1: in these sort of settings to improve I focus on

57
00:03:07,000 --> 00:03:12,600
Speaker 1: my technique and you know, non my assignments and pressing

58
00:03:12,680 --> 00:03:14,919
Speaker 1: certain gaps a lot more than what I would because

59
00:03:14,919 --> 00:03:16,560
Speaker 1: that's the thing that I got to work on and

60
00:03:17,880 --> 00:03:21,840
Speaker 1: just mentally being you know, and tune to what's going on.

61
00:03:24,040 --> 00:03:28,600
Speaker 1: Thank you. Next we'll go to Eric rout JJ. I

62
00:03:28,600 --> 00:03:31,520
Speaker 1: hope you're doing okay today. I hope you're doing the

63
00:03:31,560 --> 00:03:35,520
Speaker 1: same doing all right? And Mom, I'm wondering, at what

64
00:03:35,680 --> 00:03:38,640
Speaker 1: point along your career, whether it be high school or college,

65
00:03:39,680 --> 00:03:41,880
Speaker 1: did you stop thinking about hight or get sick of

66
00:03:41,920 --> 00:03:44,520
Speaker 1: people asking about your size, because I act imagine at

67
00:03:44,520 --> 00:03:46,880
Speaker 1: some point like this is who I am, this is

68
00:03:46,880 --> 00:03:48,400
Speaker 1: how I'm going to play, this is what it is.

69
00:03:50,120 --> 00:03:52,760
Speaker 1: I guess I can say just around about high school

70
00:03:52,800 --> 00:03:55,040
Speaker 1: because you know, I haven't grown since I've been the

71
00:03:55,040 --> 00:03:59,000
Speaker 1: same height since high school. And at that point it's

72
00:03:59,040 --> 00:04:02,920
Speaker 1: about you know, me performing on the field, and you

73
00:04:02,960 --> 00:04:08,400
Speaker 1: know the things that I can't control. So did you

74
00:04:08,440 --> 00:04:10,800
Speaker 1: play high schoolball as a freshman or your varsity player

75
00:04:10,840 --> 00:04:12,240
Speaker 1: or did you have to kind of work your way

76
00:04:12,280 --> 00:04:15,760
Speaker 1: up but you came up? Um, I played a few

77
00:04:15,880 --> 00:04:20,680
Speaker 1: games as a freshman in high school and then you know,

78
00:04:21,279 --> 00:04:23,960
Speaker 1: end up transferring schools and then working my way up

79
00:04:23,960 --> 00:04:25,840
Speaker 1: to playing varsity my sophomore all the way up to

80
00:04:25,920 --> 00:04:32,239
Speaker 1: my senior year. And then I mean, are people still

81
00:04:33,160 --> 00:04:34,600
Speaker 1: I'm trying to find the word for it, But it's

82
00:04:35,160 --> 00:04:38,920
Speaker 1: do you like kind of proving people that decide your

83
00:04:38,960 --> 00:04:41,359
Speaker 1: size doesn't matter. It's your speed, your strength and everything

84
00:04:41,360 --> 00:04:45,120
Speaker 1: else that kind of gets you where you go. I mean,

85
00:04:45,240 --> 00:04:47,440
Speaker 1: at this point, for me, it's not about proving other

86
00:04:47,440 --> 00:04:51,440
Speaker 1: people wrong. It's just for me, it's proving people right

87
00:04:51,520 --> 00:04:53,960
Speaker 1: and proving myself right that, you know, I can do

88
00:04:54,200 --> 00:04:57,880
Speaker 1: what it is that I'd set my mind to. And

89
00:04:58,000 --> 00:04:59,920
Speaker 1: you know, and if I would say that I'm going

90
00:05:00,040 --> 00:05:02,240
Speaker 1: to do something and get better at it, that's exactly

91
00:05:02,240 --> 00:05:05,000
Speaker 1: what I'm gonna try to do. We'll go back to

92
00:05:05,080 --> 00:05:10,880
Speaker 1: Matt Doloff. Thanks. Mike wants a second here, So, UM

93
00:05:10,960 --> 00:05:13,320
Speaker 1: J J. Troy Brown has been working with the running

94
00:05:13,320 --> 00:05:15,640
Speaker 1: backs in the passing game. What's it been like learning

95
00:05:15,640 --> 00:05:17,800
Speaker 1: how to you know, play better in the passing game

96
00:05:17,839 --> 00:05:20,320
Speaker 1: from a guy who played receiver as opposed to you know,

97
00:05:20,360 --> 00:05:23,520
Speaker 1: working with a running backs coach. I mean, it's great,

98
00:05:23,560 --> 00:05:27,440
Speaker 1: he's asked. Um. We've actually I spend a lot of

99
00:05:27,440 --> 00:05:29,560
Speaker 1: time with him, you know, especially as a rookie. We

100
00:05:29,600 --> 00:05:31,240
Speaker 1: got to come in early and do things like that.

101
00:05:31,320 --> 00:05:34,800
Speaker 1: And that's the one person that I that I get

102
00:05:34,839 --> 00:05:37,640
Speaker 1: to meet with, you know, on a day to day basis,

103
00:05:37,800 --> 00:05:41,800
Speaker 1: one on one and just learning, you know, from his

104
00:05:41,960 --> 00:05:45,960
Speaker 1: perspective how things should be done. And then you know,

105
00:05:46,200 --> 00:05:48,880
Speaker 1: him watching from the sidelines and correcting me and stuff

106
00:05:48,920 --> 00:05:51,400
Speaker 1: like that. And it's just I mean, it's just helping

107
00:05:51,440 --> 00:05:53,320
Speaker 1: me out a lot, and I believe it's helping out

108
00:05:53,320 --> 00:05:59,520
Speaker 1: all the other backs as well, thanks, okay, I think

109
00:05:59,520 --> 00:06:01,440
Speaker 1: we'll call it. Thank you very much for joining us

110
00:06:01,440 --> 00:06:03,960
Speaker 1: to Joe. I appreciate it. Thank you,
