Speaker 1: of in my bag a little bit, trying to just

Speaker 1: trying to play with it a little bit. So um yeah, um,

9
00:00:28,440 --> 00:00:33,400
Speaker 1: how how how satisfying was it for you to get

10
00:00:33,440 --> 00:00:37,240
Speaker 1: that first interception, especially in a big spot, especially after

11
00:00:37,280 --> 00:00:39,479

00:01:03,120 --> 00:01:04,720
Speaker 1: you know a lot of different things. You know that

21
00:01:04,760 --> 00:01:08,200
Speaker 1: I thought that you know the place that I made Um,

22
00:01:08,240 --> 00:01:09,959
Speaker 1: you know, I made him at the right time. And

23
00:01:10,040 --> 00:01:12,160
Speaker 1: like I said, I've been telling you guys like you now,

24
00:01:12,240 --> 00:01:14,920
Speaker 1: I felt that play coming. Um, you know, I felt

25
00:01:14,959 --> 00:01:16,720
Speaker 1: like it was a couple of ones that I that

26
00:01:16,760 --> 00:01:19,920
Speaker 1: I missed in previous weeks. Um, So to get in

27
00:01:19,920 --> 00:01:22,680
Speaker 1: in this game, knowing how big of a game it was,

28
00:01:23,360 --> 00:01:25,679
Speaker 1: it was definitely something that you know, I was excited about.

29
00:01:25,920 --> 00:01:28,760
Speaker 1: And you know, I'm definitely ready to build, um, you know,

30
00:01:28,880 --> 00:01:31,240
Speaker 1: build off of, you know, off of that game once

31
00:01:31,920 --> 00:01:38,160
Speaker 1: we come back that Hey, hey Davia, Um, I know

32
00:01:38,640 --> 00:01:40,720
Speaker 1: obviously like your season started a lot later than you

33
00:01:40,720 --> 00:01:42,320
Speaker 1: would have liked, so I'm sure it took you a

34
00:01:42,400 --> 00:01:44,080
Speaker 1: little longer. You know, you got it seemed like you

35
00:01:44,120 --> 00:01:45,759
Speaker 1: were getting into your group at the end there's their party.

36
00:01:45,800 --> 00:01:47,800
Speaker 1: That's like, man, I wish I could have had ten

37
00:01:47,800 --> 00:01:49,800
Speaker 1: more games or whatever. It was, like, have you thought

38
00:01:49,800 --> 00:01:52,960
Speaker 1: about that at all? Man? Uh, you know that's all

39
00:01:53,000 --> 00:01:55,160
Speaker 1: I That's all I could really think about. Um. You know,

40
00:01:55,280 --> 00:01:57,600
Speaker 1: I think you know, when I first when I first

41
00:01:57,600 --> 00:02:00,840
Speaker 1: came back, obviously, like and I was sitting for a

42
00:02:00,880 --> 00:02:04,640
Speaker 1: long time, so, um, you know, the mental part of

43
00:02:04,680 --> 00:02:07,640
Speaker 1: the game as far as uh, you know, my preparation

44
00:02:07,760 --> 00:02:09,800
Speaker 1: and just knowing the game plan, I felt like that

45
00:02:09,880 --> 00:02:12,960
Speaker 1: was always there just because like when I was hurt,

46
00:02:13,000 --> 00:02:15,120
Speaker 1: I was in all the meetings. Um, you know, I

47
00:02:15,160 --> 00:02:20,079
Speaker 1: was making sure that I, you know, was was focusing on, um,

48
00:02:20,120 --> 00:02:22,040
Speaker 1: you know, what we're doing for that week. But as

49
00:02:22,080 --> 00:02:25,000
Speaker 1: far as like being out there and playing, it took

50
00:02:25,040 --> 00:02:28,360
Speaker 1: me a while to get going. Um you know, especially

51
00:02:28,680 --> 00:02:31,040
Speaker 1: just knowing all the rotations that you know that we

52
00:02:31,040 --> 00:02:35,440
Speaker 1: were doing, um so and then feeling like like especially

53
00:02:35,480 --> 00:02:37,320
Speaker 1: these last couple of games, you know, I was getting

54
00:02:37,360 --> 00:02:40,760
Speaker 1: into my group, and um, you know that's why I

55
00:02:40,800 --> 00:02:42,959
Speaker 1: was really hoping that you know, we could we could

56
00:02:42,960 --> 00:02:45,040
Speaker 1: make it to the playoffs because I felt like I

57
00:02:45,120 --> 00:02:48,480
Speaker 1: was getting back to being myself. And I still think,

58
00:02:48,600 --> 00:02:50,760
Speaker 1: you know, it was a it's a lot more that

59
00:02:50,840 --> 00:02:53,040
Speaker 1: you know that I could have done. Um. You know,

60
00:02:53,080 --> 00:02:54,799
Speaker 1: when I look back at the film, there's a lot

61
00:02:54,840 --> 00:02:57,440
Speaker 1: a lot, a lot of other players that I felt

62
00:02:57,440 --> 00:02:59,160
Speaker 1: like I missed that one that I could have made

63
00:02:59,760 --> 00:03:01,880
Speaker 1: uh them. So you know that was you know, it

64
00:03:01,919 --> 00:03:03,600
Speaker 1: was kind of frustrating knowing that, you know, I was

65
00:03:03,639 --> 00:03:06,239
Speaker 1: getting back into my rhythm and then all of a sudden,

66
00:03:06,280 --> 00:03:09,440
Speaker 1: you know, that's that's the season. Yeah, And and then

67
00:03:09,720 --> 00:03:12,360
Speaker 1: looking ahead, you know, there's obviously a chance the Giants

68
00:03:12,400 --> 00:03:14,160
Speaker 1: could be looking at white receievers. There's a couple of

69
00:03:14,440 --> 00:03:16,720
Speaker 1: guys you're familiar with from Alabama. What what what can you

Speaker 1: against them, uh, you know and practice just going against them,

00:05:03,480 --> 00:05:06,720
Speaker 1: you know, the best technician is that. You know, I've

104
00:05:06,839 --> 00:05:10,320

106
00:05:13,680 --> 00:05:16,279
Speaker 1: I said, just like Waddle and Smythie, Man, I'm just

107
00:05:16,320 --> 00:05:18,240
Speaker 1: excited to see what they can do on the next level.

108
00:05:19,120 --> 00:05:21,640
Speaker 1: And then take back to what you were asked before

109
00:05:21,839 --> 00:05:26,520
Speaker 1: about that uh tweet about Skip Bayless. We all watched

110
00:05:26,560 --> 00:05:29,680
Speaker 1: the draft. I'm sure you thought you were going to

111
00:05:29,720 --> 00:05:32,279
Speaker 1: the Cowboys, Like, is that what you thought on in

112
00:05:32,320 --> 00:05:34,320
Speaker 1: the draft? That was the name you were attached to

113
00:05:34,400 --> 00:05:37,000
Speaker 1: the most? And then your first interception seals a win

114
00:05:37,120 --> 00:05:39,720
Speaker 1: against the Cowboys. Tell us about draft night and if

115
00:05:39,760 --> 00:05:43,360
Speaker 1: that made the pick a little bit sweeter? Oh well,

116
00:05:43,520 --> 00:05:48,160
Speaker 1: I think, Um, I mean, what happened is what happened. Um.

117
00:05:48,200 --> 00:05:50,880
Speaker 1: You know, I'm happy with where I'm at. I'm happy

118
00:05:50,960 --> 00:05:53,280
Speaker 1: with the team, and I'm with UH, which is a

119
00:05:53,360 --> 00:05:55,720
Speaker 1: giant Um. You know, they took a chance on me

120
00:05:55,960 --> 00:05:58,839
Speaker 1: when you know a lot of a lot of teams

121
00:05:59,279 --> 00:06:03,039
Speaker 1: you know, you know just just passed by me. So UM.

122
00:06:03,080 --> 00:06:06,839
Speaker 1: You know, I think any team that we play, UH,

123
00:06:07,000 --> 00:06:09,120
Speaker 1: that I know had had a chance to to pick

124
00:06:09,200 --> 00:06:12,000
Speaker 1: me up, that skipped skipped on me, uh and then

125
00:06:12,080 --> 00:06:15,640
Speaker 1: pick me up. You know, I take I take that personally, UM,

126
00:06:15,680 --> 00:06:18,680
Speaker 1: and I go into the games every game with that

127
00:06:18,760 --> 00:06:22,400
Speaker 1: same mindset, whether you know what I'm saying, whether whoever

128
00:06:22,440 --> 00:06:26,760
Speaker 1: it is, UM. So there wasn't any extra um with

129
00:06:26,839 --> 00:06:30,400
Speaker 1: the Cowboys. That's the way I take that personally with

130
00:06:30,480 --> 00:06:35,880
Speaker 1: every team that we play. Tom Rock Savi are wondering

131
00:06:35,920 --> 00:06:39,920
Speaker 1: if you saw your head coaches press conference yesterday when

132
00:06:39,920 --> 00:06:44,040
Speaker 1: he was talking about always giving percent effort for sixty minutes.

133
00:06:44,400 --> 00:06:47,839
Speaker 1: Obviously it was in relation to, uh the Eagles game.

134
00:06:48,440 --> 00:06:50,320
Speaker 1: We're surprised by that and what was what was your

135
00:06:50,360 --> 00:06:57,400
Speaker 1: reaction to it? I actually didn't see his press conference. Uh,

136
00:06:57,480 --> 00:06:59,359
Speaker 1: but are you asking what you what you're you're asking

137
00:06:59,400 --> 00:07:02,800
Speaker 1: about the game or yeah, yeah, so so well he

138
00:07:02,560 --> 00:07:05,160
Speaker 1: he basically said that that he would never he would

139
00:07:05,160 --> 00:07:08,880
Speaker 1: never coach the team, uh to disrespect the game, uh,

140
00:07:09,279 --> 00:07:12,640
Speaker 1: employing that that's that's what the Eagles have done. Oh

141
00:07:13,080 --> 00:07:16,760
Speaker 1: h well, you know, for I think for us man, Um,

142
00:07:16,840 --> 00:07:19,240
Speaker 1: you know, I actually I came over the game. I did.

143
00:07:19,240 --> 00:07:22,400
Speaker 1: I couldn't watch the game just because I just didn't.

144
00:07:23,400 --> 00:07:25,160
Speaker 1: I didn't really want to see because I was already

145
00:07:25,200 --> 00:07:27,720
Speaker 1: kind of nervous because I didn't know what was gonna happen. Um.

146
00:07:28,320 --> 00:07:31,760
Speaker 1: But I think for us, um, you know, we had

147
00:07:31,840 --> 00:07:36,800
Speaker 1: opportunities to to to get the job done. Um. And

148
00:07:36,840 --> 00:07:39,560
Speaker 1: you know I've always been told, uh for as long

149
00:07:39,560 --> 00:07:42,200
Speaker 1: as I can remember, and don't ever put um the

150
00:07:42,280 --> 00:07:44,960
Speaker 1: fate and somebody else, don't don't ever put their destiny

151
00:07:45,000 --> 00:07:48,920
Speaker 1: in somebody else's hands. To determine. So for us, you know,

152
00:07:49,040 --> 00:07:52,200
Speaker 1: we we know, you know, what we could have done better. Um,

153
00:07:52,200 --> 00:07:55,560
Speaker 1: we know that we had opportunities to to win games

154
00:07:55,600 --> 00:07:59,080
Speaker 1: and and that we didn't win. Um, And you know

155
00:07:59,120 --> 00:08:00,840
Speaker 1: at the end of it, you know that that's the

156
00:08:00,840 --> 00:08:03,120
Speaker 1: reason why you know, we didn't get to where we

157
00:08:03,160 --> 00:08:06,520
Speaker 1: wanted to get to. So, UM, we put out I

158
00:08:06,520 --> 00:08:08,960
Speaker 1: think we put ourselves in a good position though with this,

159
00:08:09,160 --> 00:08:12,400
Speaker 1: with this last game too, I'll be able to still

160
00:08:12,640 --> 00:08:15,840
Speaker 1: get to get make the playoffs and and be where

161
00:08:15,840 --> 00:08:18,200
Speaker 1: we wanted to be. But you know, things didn't paying

162
00:08:18,200 --> 00:08:20,840
Speaker 1: out how we how we wanted it too. But UM,

163
00:08:21,080 --> 00:08:22,440
Speaker 1: you know, at the end of the day, like I said,

164
00:08:22,560 --> 00:08:25,400
Speaker 1: you know, there's a lot of opportunities that UM, that

165
00:08:25,440 --> 00:08:28,280
Speaker 1: we didn't see. UM that we that we definitely could

166
00:08:28,280 --> 00:08:31,000
Speaker 1: have and we definitely should have. So we know that,

167
00:08:31,080 --> 00:08:33,160
Speaker 1: and you know, we were just gonna be prepared to

168
00:08:33,760 --> 00:08:35,240
Speaker 1: you know, take it to the next level, take to

169
00:08:35,240 --> 00:08:37,760
Speaker 1: the next step, UM, to be able to get that

170
00:08:37,800 --> 00:08:41,160
Speaker 1: accomplished for next year. And then just if I could

171
00:08:41,200 --> 00:08:43,520
Speaker 1: ask you about the interception real quick to how close

172
00:08:43,520 --> 00:08:44,920
Speaker 1: were you to taking it out of the end zone

173
00:08:45,000 --> 00:08:49,000
Speaker 1: or man, hey, I was close to hell? Man Uh.

174
00:08:49,160 --> 00:08:52,160
Speaker 1: I actually when I caught it, um, because I remember,

175
00:08:52,320 --> 00:08:55,400
Speaker 1: you know, in college, I caught one and I was

176
00:08:55,440 --> 00:08:57,040
Speaker 1: in the end zone. It was at the end of

177
00:08:57,080 --> 00:09:00,000
Speaker 1: the game. It's kind of like the same scenario. Uh,

178
00:09:00,040 --> 00:09:02,640
Speaker 1: kind of like the interception get down type. UM. And

179
00:09:02,679 --> 00:09:05,880
Speaker 1: in college, you know, I caught the interception and then

180
00:09:05,920 --> 00:09:07,679
Speaker 1: I took a knee. I was about to run and

181
00:09:07,760 --> 00:09:09,920
Speaker 1: I took a knee, and so everybody was kind of

182
00:09:09,960 --> 00:09:12,839
Speaker 1: like made me to run it out the blast. I'm like, okay,

183
00:09:12,880 --> 00:09:15,240
Speaker 1: So then when I get this one, UM, as soon

184
00:09:15,280 --> 00:09:18,000
Speaker 1: as I caught it, like my first instinct was just

185
00:09:18,040 --> 00:09:20,560
Speaker 1: to go because I was trying to take it the

186
00:09:20,600 --> 00:09:23,520
Speaker 1: distance to be honest. Um, but I heard, you know,

187
00:09:23,600 --> 00:09:27,559
Speaker 1: I heard Logan. Really I heard Logan, and UM, I

188
00:09:27,640 --> 00:09:29,800
Speaker 1: forgot who else is near me, but I know I

189
00:09:29,840 --> 00:09:32,400
Speaker 1: heard him tell me to get down. And so some

190
00:09:32,520 --> 00:09:35,600
Speaker 1: as I heard that, I kind of just slid and UM,

191
00:09:35,640 --> 00:09:37,320
Speaker 1: you know, I was happy with the end result that

192
00:09:37,360 --> 00:09:42,440
Speaker 1: we got. With that, we'll take. We'll take three more

193
00:09:42,880 --> 00:09:47,680
Speaker 1: Swarts Jordan's pat Lin Swartz exavier. UM, if you took

194
00:09:47,679 --> 00:09:48,960
Speaker 1: that out of the end zone, you might have had

195
00:09:48,960 --> 00:09:51,480
Speaker 1: to run all the way back to UH Alabama you know,

196
00:09:51,640 --> 00:09:54,959
Speaker 1: I think with your head coach, Um, you know he

197
00:09:55,000 --> 00:09:57,280
Speaker 1: was he was wanting you to go down. Obviously when

198
00:09:57,320 --> 00:09:59,200
Speaker 1: you look at your group, obviously you were late to

199
00:09:59,200 --> 00:10:01,319
Speaker 1: the party, you know, but because of your injury. But

200
00:10:01,480 --> 00:10:03,720
Speaker 1: when you look forward to next year and you have

201
00:10:04,160 --> 00:10:07,240
Speaker 1: you who was really hitting your strike. You have Darny,

202
00:10:07,320 --> 00:10:10,200
Speaker 1: you have Julian Love, you have Breadberry, you have Peppers,

203
00:10:10,240 --> 00:10:12,840
Speaker 1: you have Logan Ryan. You know, it's just a lot

204
00:10:12,840 --> 00:10:15,480
Speaker 1: of guys there. What do you think the potential for

205
00:10:15,520 --> 00:10:21,360
Speaker 1: this defensive backfield is moving forward? Oh? Well, you know,

206
00:10:21,400 --> 00:10:23,880
Speaker 1: I think, uh we got obviously, we got a lot

207
00:10:23,920 --> 00:10:28,800
Speaker 1: of a lot of guys that are willing to um,

208
00:10:28,840 --> 00:10:30,480
Speaker 1: you know, do do what we need to do to

209
00:10:30,600 --> 00:10:33,280
Speaker 1: improve UM as a as a secondary, as a whole,

210
00:10:33,320 --> 00:10:35,880
Speaker 1: as a unit. UM. And I think we're ready to

211
00:10:35,920 --> 00:10:39,840
Speaker 1: do that. UM. So, I think the biggest thing for

212
00:10:39,840 --> 00:10:43,240
Speaker 1: for us uh this offseason will be just building that

213
00:10:43,320 --> 00:10:46,840
Speaker 1: chemistry because I feel like we didn't really get to uh,

214
00:10:46,960 --> 00:10:48,960
Speaker 1: we didn't really get to do that at it's like

215
00:10:49,080 --> 00:10:52,880
Speaker 1: fullest um, like fullest potential just because like I said,

216
00:10:52,920 --> 00:10:57,719
Speaker 1: I was, I was out the first eleven twelve weeks, So, um,

217
00:10:57,840 --> 00:11:01,640
Speaker 1: we didn't really get to build all together. Um. So

218
00:11:01,679 --> 00:11:04,480
Speaker 1: I think this offseason is gonna be big for us

219
00:11:04,520 --> 00:11:06,760
Speaker 1: because we're gonna be able to do that. We're gonna

220
00:11:06,800 --> 00:11:10,480
Speaker 1: have more time to do that. So uh, you know,

221
00:11:10,640 --> 00:11:12,360
Speaker 1: I think you know, we've got a lot of guys

222
00:11:12,360 --> 00:11:16,040
Speaker 1: that work hard. Um, and you know, I think we

223
00:11:16,120 --> 00:11:18,520
Speaker 1: gotta we got a bright future ahead, uh if I'm

224
00:11:18,559 --> 00:11:21,520
Speaker 1: being completely honest. So we just gotta be willing to

225
00:11:21,840 --> 00:11:24,480
Speaker 1: put in the work and and you know, willing to

226
00:11:24,480 --> 00:11:26,760
Speaker 1: to get better and help each other out, hold each

227
00:11:26,800 --> 00:11:30,560
Speaker 1: other accountable. Um, you know, like we do. So I

228
00:11:30,559 --> 00:11:33,160
Speaker 1: think I think we got a bright future. Thank you.

229
00:11:34,240 --> 00:11:38,280
Speaker 1: Jordan's hey, Xavier, how you doing man? Hey? How you

230
00:11:38,280 --> 00:11:42,960
Speaker 1: doing good? How are you doing good? Um? Joe talked

231
00:11:42,960 --> 00:11:45,240
Speaker 1: about his number one priority being, you know, set the

232
00:11:45,240 --> 00:11:47,800
Speaker 1: foundation and culture, and he thinks he did that this year.

233
00:11:48,440 --> 00:11:51,080
Speaker 1: He obviously spent a lot of time with Nick. I'm

234
00:11:51,120 --> 00:11:54,920
Speaker 1: curious how much how similar is it to what was

235
00:11:54,960 --> 00:11:57,040
Speaker 1: there at Alabama? And do you see a lot of

236
00:11:57,080 --> 00:11:59,440
Speaker 1: the same you know, him do a lot of the

237
00:11:59,440 --> 00:12:01,120
Speaker 1: the same thing. Is a lot of the same tricks

238
00:12:01,160 --> 00:12:05,840
Speaker 1: that that nicked us? Yeah, it's it's really similar, man. Um.

239
00:12:05,880 --> 00:12:08,760
Speaker 1: You know, like when I left um. And when I

240
00:12:08,880 --> 00:12:11,840
Speaker 1: obviously when I came up here, uh and we started

241
00:12:11,880 --> 00:12:16,319
Speaker 1: like training just really everything, it was like I was like, damn,

242
00:12:16,400 --> 00:12:18,480
Speaker 1: like I'm all I feel like I'm back at back

243
00:12:18,480 --> 00:12:22,080
Speaker 1: at school again. So um and that was like that

244
00:12:22,200 --> 00:12:25,600
Speaker 1: was great for me because now I already felt comfortable

245
00:12:26,040 --> 00:12:28,040
Speaker 1: because it almost felt like, you know, I was I

246
00:12:28,080 --> 00:12:30,560
Speaker 1: just I left one place to go back to the

247
00:12:30,640 --> 00:12:33,920
Speaker 1: same place. Um. So I think a lot of the

248
00:12:33,920 --> 00:12:37,600
Speaker 1: things that he does is really similar as far as

249
00:12:37,640 --> 00:12:40,040
Speaker 1: you know, how we work out, just the things that

250
00:12:40,040 --> 00:12:42,600
Speaker 1: we do at practice, the way were the way you know,

251
00:12:42,640 --> 00:12:45,520
Speaker 1: he gets us ready to prepare. Um. You know a

252
00:12:45,520 --> 00:12:48,760
Speaker 1: lot of those things are really similar. So um. You

253
00:12:48,800 --> 00:12:51,439
Speaker 1: know that's something that you know that I've always I

254
00:12:51,640 --> 00:12:54,480
Speaker 1: always liked um And you know, I've always been I've

255
00:12:54,480 --> 00:12:57,520
Speaker 1: always been a fan of just because you know, it's

256
00:12:57,640 --> 00:13:02,240
Speaker 1: like he's like to me, it's like the same it's

257
00:13:02,280 --> 00:13:07,840
Speaker 1: the same platform. UM. So I think that, Uh. I

258
00:13:07,880 --> 00:13:12,600
Speaker 1: think he's done no amazing job with everybody, just with

259
00:13:12,679 --> 00:13:16,760
Speaker 1: the team in general. Um. So you know, I've been

260
00:13:17,280 --> 00:13:19,200
Speaker 1: I've gotten to know him a little bit more as

261
00:13:19,240 --> 00:13:21,400
Speaker 1: the season has been going going on. As the season

262
00:13:21,440 --> 00:13:24,280
Speaker 1: went on and the more the more and more that

263
00:13:24,360 --> 00:13:26,319
Speaker 1: I got to know him, you know, the more and

264
00:13:26,360 --> 00:13:28,600
Speaker 1: more than I like just like them, even more like

265
00:13:28,679 --> 00:13:31,640
Speaker 1: him even more so. Yeah, for for you, it was

266
00:13:31,679 --> 00:13:34,160
Speaker 1: the norm, right, But how much did you think did

267
00:13:34,200 --> 00:13:36,480
Speaker 1: you sense that for your teammates this was crazy You're

268
00:13:36,559 --> 00:13:40,640
Speaker 1: unique or abnormal? Yeah? I mean, like I think it.

269
00:13:40,880 --> 00:13:42,880
Speaker 1: It might have been a little different for them. Um.

270
00:13:43,040 --> 00:13:47,080
Speaker 1: Now I can't really speak on you know, how they felt. Um,

271
00:13:47,120 --> 00:13:50,320
Speaker 1: But for me, you know, it was just like you said,

272
00:13:50,320 --> 00:13:51,840
Speaker 1: it was a It was a norm for me, just

273
00:13:51,880 --> 00:13:55,560
Speaker 1: because I had already went through this. Um. You know,

274
00:13:55,600 --> 00:13:59,080
Speaker 1: I have been through this type of how we trained

275
00:13:59,200 --> 00:14:02,520
Speaker 1: and were prepared, how long we were meetings, Like I

276
00:14:02,559 --> 00:14:05,320
Speaker 1: was used to it, so it didn't affect me, didn't

277
00:14:05,360 --> 00:14:08,120
Speaker 1: really bother me at all. I'm not sure how other

278
00:14:08,160 --> 00:14:10,400
Speaker 1: people felt, but uh, you know, for me, that's how

279
00:14:10,840 --> 00:14:14,160
Speaker 1: that's how, That's how I felt last one here. How

280
00:14:14,280 --> 00:14:18,560
Speaker 1: let it davi youre another question about your Davante Smith

281
00:14:18,600 --> 00:14:21,360
Speaker 1: in Alabama? Is he the fastest player You've ever been

282
00:14:21,360 --> 00:14:26,240
Speaker 1: on the field with the fastest? Uh? I mean I've

283
00:14:26,240 --> 00:14:28,040
Speaker 1: been I've been on the field with some fast people

284
00:14:28,040 --> 00:14:33,840
Speaker 1: like you. Remember I was there with Rugs didn't. I

285
00:14:33,880 --> 00:14:37,600
Speaker 1: made them do pretty fast. Uh, I can't really say

286
00:14:37,600 --> 00:14:40,640
Speaker 1: if he's the fat like he's he fastest hell obviously,

287
00:14:40,680 --> 00:14:45,320
Speaker 1: but um, I don't know, man, I would to be honest,

288
00:14:45,400 --> 00:14:48,720
Speaker 1: I probably had to see. I probably see like Smitthia verguy.

289
00:14:48,720 --> 00:14:50,760
Speaker 1: I think they might have raised before. I don't know,

290
00:14:50,880 --> 00:14:54,920
Speaker 1: but uh, you know he's did they ever raise a practice?

291
00:14:54,920 --> 00:14:58,600
Speaker 1: And who won? That's what we wanted up, I think. Uh,

292
00:14:58,720 --> 00:15:01,080
Speaker 1: I'm trying to remember, man. Think I think I don't

293
00:15:01,120 --> 00:15:03,920
Speaker 1: think Rugs and Smythie ever raised, but I think Rugs

294
00:15:03,920 --> 00:15:07,880
Speaker 1: and water rays. Um, I'm not sure. I think it

295
00:15:08,200 --> 00:15:11,080
Speaker 1: was like it was almost like a tie, I think, um,

296
00:15:11,120 --> 00:15:14,920
Speaker 1: but you know, them dudes are fast man like either

297
00:15:15,440 --> 00:15:17,560
Speaker 1: I mean, either way you put it, the dudes got speed,

298
00:15:17,640 --> 00:15:17,760
Speaker 1: so
