1
00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:03,400
Speaker 1: Jail And how much uh work have you had with Jacks?

2
00:00:03,440 --> 00:00:05,440
Speaker 1: I know, we know you spend so much time with Ross.

3
00:00:05,960 --> 00:00:08,320
Speaker 1: Russ was so in your corner. How much time did

4
00:00:08,320 --> 00:00:11,239
Speaker 1: you get with Jackson off season training camp? How many

5
00:00:11,360 --> 00:00:14,000
Speaker 1: routes have you guys liked to run together? Yeah?

6
00:00:14,360 --> 00:00:15,960
Speaker 2: I think we you know when Russ was when the

7
00:00:16,000 --> 00:00:17,880
Speaker 2: rust was starting here, me and Jack, so we was

8
00:00:17,920 --> 00:00:19,840
Speaker 2: on THEOK team you know whoever we were facing.

9
00:00:20,079 --> 00:00:21,680
Speaker 1: Uh, you know I'll be the receiver and you know

10
00:00:21,680 --> 00:00:22,560
Speaker 1: he'll be the quarterback.

11
00:00:22,960 --> 00:00:25,639
Speaker 2: So uh, you know we had a we had a

12
00:00:25,640 --> 00:00:26,960
Speaker 2: lot of a lot of work, you know, in those

13
00:00:27,000 --> 00:00:30,160
Speaker 2: three weeks span before Jackson became a starter. And so

14
00:00:30,560 --> 00:00:32,560
Speaker 2: this is to get used to, you know, how he plays,

15
00:00:33,400 --> 00:00:35,680
Speaker 2: you know, getting used how I'll run, and uh, we

16
00:00:35,680 --> 00:00:37,960
Speaker 2: didn't really get that, you know before the preseason game.

17
00:00:38,000 --> 00:00:40,080
Speaker 1: You know, I was really with Russ. So, uh, it's

18
00:00:40,080 --> 00:00:40,559
Speaker 1: gonna be fun.

19
00:00:40,600 --> 00:00:42,080
Speaker 2: You know, I just can't wait to you know, go out,

20
00:00:42,920 --> 00:00:44,400
Speaker 2: you know, play with him and play with the guys

21
00:00:44,560 --> 00:00:46,400
Speaker 2: and uh, you know make place. Does this feel like

22
00:00:46,440 --> 00:00:49,760
Speaker 2: the opportunity you've been waiting I know more than a

23
00:00:49,800 --> 00:00:52,319
Speaker 2: year four Like, does this feel like Okay, this is

24
00:00:52,479 --> 00:00:53,599
Speaker 2: this is what I was waiting for.

25
00:00:53,880 --> 00:00:56,480
Speaker 1: I'm gonna be ready. I'm beard. What is sort of

26
00:00:56,480 --> 00:00:58,520
Speaker 1: internal competition like when you got you and Bow and

27
00:00:58,560 --> 00:01:01,760
Speaker 1: some other guys trying to get those extra reps or whatever? Like,

28
00:01:01,800 --> 00:01:03,320
Speaker 1: what is that like when you sort of respect your

29
00:01:03,360 --> 00:01:05,160
Speaker 1: own teammates and all that you also want to win

30
00:01:05,160 --> 00:01:08,039
Speaker 1: a spot. Yeah, it was a great player. You know,

31
00:01:08,080 --> 00:01:09,720
Speaker 1: he showed a lot of a promise in the in

32
00:01:09,800 --> 00:01:10,600
Speaker 1: the preseason game.

33
00:01:10,920 --> 00:01:13,200
Speaker 2: Uh, he's a young player too, you know, young players,

34
00:01:13,240 --> 00:01:15,160
Speaker 2: you gotta you gotta get him in there so he

35
00:01:15,200 --> 00:01:18,039
Speaker 2: can get used to flow the game. So but for me,

36
00:01:18,080 --> 00:01:20,560
Speaker 2: it's just you know, just taking advantage opportunities, just being

37
00:01:20,600 --> 00:01:21,520
Speaker 2: ready with my numbers called.

38
00:01:21,640 --> 00:01:23,240
Speaker 1: And that's that's that's what I'm gonna do going for.

39
00:01:23,600 --> 00:01:25,520
Speaker 1: How much is this off season kind of prepared you

40
00:01:25,560 --> 00:01:27,280
Speaker 1: for this, because obviously we talked about how much Russe

41
00:01:27,319 --> 00:01:28,800
Speaker 1: has inspired you and talk to you. How much is

42
00:01:28,840 --> 00:01:31,280
Speaker 1: that fit into you being prepared for this? Mone even more?

43
00:01:31,800 --> 00:01:33,280
Speaker 2: I know why to get my chance this year, just

Speaker 1: just can't wait to play something. Do you feel just

90
00:03:12,760 --> 00:03:14,280
Speaker 1: to hire a little urgency just because of the way

91
00:03:14,280 --> 00:03:16,000
Speaker 1: that your first two seasons went and really wanted to

92
00:03:16,000 --> 00:03:18,080
Speaker 1: go up to your draft pick all that kind of stuff.

93
00:03:18,440 --> 00:03:21,320
Speaker 1: Uh No, No, you know, I've been through iversity before.

94
00:03:22,080 --> 00:03:24,920
Speaker 1: You know that, Tennessee, this is when we make football

95
00:03:24,919 --> 00:03:26,959
Speaker 1: more than what it is. You know, that's that's when

96
00:03:26,960 --> 00:03:28,320
Speaker 1: the that's when the problems ipin.

97
00:03:28,520 --> 00:03:30,120
Speaker 2: You know, you make it more and you know this year,

98
00:03:30,160 --> 00:03:31,760
Speaker 2: I just want to play the game, but I know

99
00:03:31,800 --> 00:03:34,800
Speaker 2: I can play, you know, be confident, be ready and

100
00:03:34,920 --> 00:03:37,000
Speaker 2: uh feeling like this this is a chance.

101
00:03:36,840 --> 00:03:38,880
Speaker 1: To show what I can do. So I'm gonna take

102
00:03:38,880 --> 00:03:40,360
Speaker 1: advantage of it. I mean, what did you learn for

103
00:03:40,400 --> 00:03:42,160
Speaker 1: the first couple of years that you think now you're

104
00:03:42,320 --> 00:03:44,200
Speaker 1: you're able to have that consistency that you said that

105
00:03:44,200 --> 00:03:45,800
Speaker 1: you're looking for and that you you know, I've been

106
00:03:45,800 --> 00:03:47,120
Speaker 1: missing to get on the field more.

107
00:03:47,440 --> 00:03:49,880
Speaker 2: Just consistent, you know what I mean. I think that's

108
00:03:49,880 --> 00:03:53,040
Speaker 2: the biggest thing. You know, That's what I'm working on

109
00:03:53,200 --> 00:03:56,280
Speaker 2: in the practice. And you know, uh, like I said,

110
00:03:56,320 --> 00:03:58,200
Speaker 2: whenever my number is called, you know, I'm gonna be ready.

111
00:03:58,360 --> 00:03:59,920
Speaker 2: And that's that's that's the model.

112
00:04:00,280 --> 00:04:01,440
Speaker 1: How do you think do you think out of lot

113
00:04:01,440 --> 00:04:03,040
Speaker 1: of the little things maybe you're missing the first couple

114
00:04:03,080 --> 00:04:04,880
Speaker 1: of years, that that revenge your had, the consistency and

115
00:04:04,880 --> 00:04:06,280
Speaker 1: getting on the field, But do you you've kind of

116
00:04:06,280 --> 00:04:08,800
Speaker 1: figured that out now, yeah, I'm older, you know, I'm older.

117
00:04:08,840 --> 00:04:11,120
Speaker 2: Now this is year three for me in the league,

118
00:04:11,800 --> 00:04:16,240
Speaker 2: so uh, you know, I felt like, really, I'm actually

119
00:04:16,279 --> 00:04:18,279
Speaker 2: blessed that, you know, what happened for me in my

120
00:04:18,279 --> 00:04:21,600
Speaker 2: first two years, it actually helped me in the long run,

121
00:04:22,000 --> 00:04:25,880
Speaker 2: just with fighting through adversity, just with you know, being prepared,

122
00:04:26,080 --> 00:04:28,800
Speaker 2: you know, helped me is studying you know, my opponents,

123
00:04:28,880 --> 00:04:30,560
Speaker 2: and like I said, man, it's.

124
00:04:30,360 --> 00:04:31,880
Speaker 1: Everything happens for a reason, you know what I mean,

125
00:04:31,960 --> 00:04:33,520
Speaker 1: And I just can't wait to go out there and

126
00:04:33,520 --> 00:04:35,320
Speaker 1: show what up to do. How much did that University

127
00:04:35,400 --> 00:04:38,080
Speaker 1: of Tennessee help you prepare for this? Yeah, it helped

128
00:04:38,120 --> 00:04:38,400
Speaker 1: a lot.

129
00:04:38,760 --> 00:04:41,600
Speaker 2: My sophomore year, I got benched, you know, and Jo

130
00:04:41,760 --> 00:04:44,279
Speaker 2: and I came back and had about twelve hundred yards

131
00:04:44,279 --> 00:04:44,960
Speaker 2: of teen touchs.

132
00:04:45,600 --> 00:04:47,839
Speaker 1: You know, like I said, you know, God does that

133
00:04:47,880 --> 00:04:48,680
Speaker 1: to his best words.

134
00:04:49,920 --> 00:04:53,760
Speaker 2: You know, obviously haven't been the best story for me here,

135
00:04:53,920 --> 00:04:56,720
Speaker 2: and I understand that. But for me, it's like, Okay,

136
00:04:56,960 --> 00:04:58,800
Speaker 2: what we're gonna do now, you know this is you know,

137
00:04:58,800 --> 00:05:00,359
Speaker 2: we got a lead that you know, elite player that

138
00:05:00,400 --> 00:05:02,160
Speaker 2: went down, and I gotta do what I gotta do,

139
00:05:02,240 --> 00:05:02,680
Speaker 2: step up
