1
00:00:00,480 --> 00:00:03,120
Speaker 1: What's the biggest challenge of going up against Miami's top

2
00:00:03,120 --> 00:00:03,800
Speaker 1: breaking offense.

3
00:00:05,920 --> 00:00:09,200
Speaker 2: Just making sure that we start fast as a as

4
00:00:09,200 --> 00:00:11,360
Speaker 2: a union, as a team, we just got to make

5
00:00:11,400 --> 00:00:13,520
Speaker 2: sure that we're on top of our game and uh,

6
00:00:14,200 --> 00:00:17,840
Speaker 2: and that we know what we're you know what type

7
00:00:17,880 --> 00:00:19,919
Speaker 2: offense they are. You know, they're a very explosive team,

8
00:00:19,960 --> 00:00:21,919
Speaker 2: and we just gotta make sure we start off fast

9
00:00:21,960 --> 00:00:23,680
Speaker 2: and stop them when we need to.

10
00:00:24,040 --> 00:00:25,079
Speaker 1: What does it do have.

11
00:00:25,160 --> 00:00:27,960
Speaker 2: To play lead balls and what kind of challenges dack

12
00:00:28,040 --> 00:00:32,199
Speaker 2: create second time rons? We know what they we know

13
00:00:32,240 --> 00:00:33,760
Speaker 2: what type Like I said, we know what type of

14
00:00:33,760 --> 00:00:36,960
Speaker 2: offense they are. You know they're they have playmakers on

15
00:00:37,040 --> 00:00:39,479
Speaker 2: the perimeter and uh, they have a really good back

16
00:00:39,560 --> 00:00:44,120
Speaker 2: right now out of monsters right now. So we just

17
00:00:44,120 --> 00:00:47,479
Speaker 2: gotta make sure that we emphasize on tackling game tackling,

18
00:00:47,640 --> 00:00:49,400
Speaker 2: securing our tackles, and get after the ball.

19
00:00:50,440 --> 00:00:52,800
Speaker 1: Second top second division.

20
00:00:52,840 --> 00:00:55,360
Speaker 2: It seems like there's always the nail them.

21
00:00:55,560 --> 00:00:57,360
Speaker 1: What the Racords are.

22
00:00:58,760 --> 00:01:04,240
Speaker 2: Gonna be an exciting game. You know, can't really overthink it,

23
00:01:04,400 --> 00:01:06,280
Speaker 2: that's the biggest thing. But you got to know that

24
00:01:06,319 --> 00:01:10,560
Speaker 2: we have to prepare really well today and tomorrow, and

25
00:01:11,680 --> 00:01:14,320
Speaker 2: you know, just take it like how we always do.

26
00:01:14,600 --> 00:01:16,560
Speaker 1: Just make sure that we're on our p's and q's.

27
00:01:16,360 --> 00:01:19,200
Speaker 2: And and get back to our fundamentals.

28
00:01:19,280 --> 00:01:20,199
Speaker 1: Just like I said last.

29
00:01:20,080 --> 00:01:21,920
Speaker 2: Week, those same lines.

30
00:01:22,640 --> 00:01:25,440
Speaker 1: The divisional matchups for tough, obviously, but when you put

31
00:01:25,480 --> 00:01:27,640
Speaker 1: a team twice in a month, did you change the

32
00:01:27,680 --> 00:01:32,920
Speaker 1: way you have to prepare it all? Uh? Yes? Or no?

33
00:01:33,480 --> 00:01:35,800
Speaker 1: Like there's only so much you can do. It's football.

34
00:01:36,760 --> 00:01:38,479
Speaker 2: As a defensive player, we just got to make sure

35
00:01:38,520 --> 00:01:41,640
Speaker 2: that we get to the ball and get after the ball.

36
00:01:43,000 --> 00:01:45,759
Speaker 2: And that's what we're going to be emphasizing, making sure

37
00:01:45,760 --> 00:01:50,160
Speaker 2: that we do better on our tackling and uh. And

38
00:01:50,280 --> 00:01:51,880
Speaker 2: one way to do that is just make sure that

39
00:01:52,000 --> 00:01:53,360
Speaker 2: all eleven guys are to the ball.

40
00:01:54,000 --> 00:01:55,840
Speaker 1: What makes it's difficult to play down in.

41
00:01:55,800 --> 00:01:59,920
Speaker 2: Miami, I don't know about that. I love it out there.

42
00:02:00,080 --> 00:02:04,840
Speaker 2: It's as nice and warm. It's what I love. So

43
00:02:07,080 --> 00:02:09,040
Speaker 2: I mean, luckily we're not playing there right now in

44
00:02:09,440 --> 00:02:13,360
Speaker 2: September where it's about like ninety plus, so it'll be

45
00:02:13,720 --> 00:02:16,760
Speaker 2: just the right temperature for us. So it's I've been

46
00:02:16,880 --> 00:02:21,200
Speaker 2: like this week, is there a good energy because of

47
00:02:21,200 --> 00:02:22,640
Speaker 2: what you guys were able to do Sunday?

48
00:02:22,720 --> 00:02:24,440
Speaker 1: Or is pretty much in your minds.

49
00:02:25,760 --> 00:02:28,560
Speaker 2: We try to make sure that our energy mattress every week,

50
00:02:28,639 --> 00:02:31,480
Speaker 2: you know, we you know, even if we lose or win,

51
00:02:31,639 --> 00:02:33,200
Speaker 2: we want to make sure that when we step in

52
00:02:34,480 --> 00:02:39,839
Speaker 2: that first day, like such as Mondays, we we try

53
00:02:39,880 --> 00:02:41,800
Speaker 2: and like process what happened in the game and then

54
00:02:41,840 --> 00:02:43,600
Speaker 2: we flush it down because it's a new week and

55
00:02:43,639 --> 00:02:45,720
Speaker 2: we got to make sure that we're ready for what's

56
00:02:45,800 --> 00:02:49,840
Speaker 2: end and that's Miami and like I said, they have

57
00:02:49,880 --> 00:02:51,800
Speaker 2: a very explosive offense, and we just got to make

58
00:02:51,800 --> 00:02:56,040
Speaker 2: sure that we're on top of everything. Yeah, yeah, every

59
00:02:56,040 --> 00:03:04,040
Speaker 2: week because Nadres on Sundays, he's just a playmaker, you know,

60
00:03:04,200 --> 00:03:07,480
Speaker 2: and we expect nothing but that out of him. It's

61
00:03:07,480 --> 00:03:09,720
Speaker 2: the reason why the coaches have him here, and that's

62
00:03:09,720 --> 00:03:13,040
Speaker 2: the reason why I love getting to play with him.

63
00:03:13,080 --> 00:03:16,880
Speaker 2: So I'm looking forward to seeing what he does this week.

64
00:03:17,080 --> 00:03:19,960
Speaker 2: So let's hopefully, you know, there are times of charm

65
00:03:20,120 --> 00:03:25,360
Speaker 2: and uh yeahs called him a bit of a psycho

66
00:03:25,360 --> 00:03:30,760
Speaker 2: path yeah, you know, and that's that's by far the

67
00:03:30,800 --> 00:03:32,840
Speaker 2: best kind of defensive teammate that you want, you know,

68
00:03:32,919 --> 00:03:36,120
Speaker 2: you you know, you want you want some some guys

69
00:03:36,120 --> 00:03:39,360
Speaker 2: on the defense that are ready to just run.

70
00:03:39,160 --> 00:03:44,400
Speaker 1: Into a wall such as this guy right here. So yeah, so.

71
00:03:46,160 --> 00:03:49,720
Speaker 2: That's that's definitely the type of players that we love

72
00:03:49,760 --> 00:03:52,720
Speaker 2: to have and love to run around with. You've been

73
00:03:52,880 --> 00:03:56,040
Speaker 2: very proactive in terms of raising money for people back

74
00:03:56,040 --> 00:03:58,000
Speaker 2: home with Hawaii obviously see the sweatshirt.

75
00:03:58,720 --> 00:04:00,920
Speaker 1: Is there anything you could pass on to us in

76
00:04:01,000 --> 00:04:04,360
Speaker 1: terms of updates how things are going back home updates?

77
00:04:04,520 --> 00:04:07,720
Speaker 2: I would say that it's still pretty bad out there,

78
00:04:10,000 --> 00:04:13,640
Speaker 2: and at the moment, I don't know who I spoke with,

79
00:04:14,080 --> 00:04:18,360
Speaker 2: but I'm trying to help Outnolua High School.

80
00:04:19,720 --> 00:04:22,080
Speaker 1: Their schools got burnt down and a.

81
00:04:22,040 --> 00:04:26,239
Speaker 2: Lot of their their like athletics, UH didn't have equipment

82
00:04:26,279 --> 00:04:29,120
Speaker 2: this year, so they had a forfeit a few games,

83
00:04:29,120 --> 00:04:32,640
Speaker 2: such as like the volleyball teams. So just trying to

84
00:04:32,680 --> 00:04:38,040
Speaker 2: figure out ways to raise money to send out there.

85
00:04:38,520 --> 00:04:41,400
Speaker 2: I'm hoping that New Balance Faith helps me out on

86
00:04:41,440 --> 00:04:43,560
Speaker 2: this one since they're they're a home team out here

87
00:04:43,600 --> 00:04:47,520
Speaker 2: for US, based out of Boston, so hopefully they hear

88
00:04:47,560 --> 00:04:49,720
Speaker 2: this UH.

89
00:04:49,920 --> 00:04:53,599
Speaker 1: Website or where people go at the moment.

90
00:04:55,080 --> 00:04:59,200
Speaker 2: If you guys are familiar with Frankie Louvu or because

91
00:04:59,560 --> 00:05:02,640
Speaker 2: was here for you years ago, they started a foundation

92
00:05:02,800 --> 00:05:05,800
Speaker 2: and they also started an organization that's called.

93
00:05:05,600 --> 00:05:06,920
Speaker 1: Rebuilding Maui dot Org.

94
00:05:08,200 --> 00:05:10,440
Speaker 2: That money that they're going to be raising is going

95
00:05:10,480 --> 00:05:14,839
Speaker 2: directly to the families that were affected. And I love

96
00:05:14,880 --> 00:05:16,920
Speaker 2: the fact that the Red Cross is doing what they're doing.

97
00:05:17,400 --> 00:05:19,520
Speaker 2: But the Red Cross has too much on their plate,

98
00:05:19,560 --> 00:05:23,200
Speaker 2: you know, There's there's so much going on, and people

99
00:05:23,200 --> 00:05:25,800
Speaker 2: who are trying to help Hawaii and sending money into

100
00:05:25,839 --> 00:05:29,240
Speaker 2: the Red Cross, that money isn't going directly there, It's

101
00:05:29,279 --> 00:05:32,440
Speaker 2: going to everywhere that they can help. So with this

102
00:05:32,560 --> 00:05:37,360
Speaker 2: foundation that Frankie and Kamu are are starting, and I

103
00:05:37,360 --> 00:05:43,719
Speaker 2: believe Kai from Houston the Kicker, it's gonna help directly

104
00:05:43,760 --> 00:05:47,920
Speaker 2: with those families. So I encourage people to go directly there.

105
00:05:48,880 --> 00:05:52,320
Speaker 1: Help What are you what are you think produce that

106
00:05:52,400 --> 00:05:54,240
Speaker 1: parts right now?

107
00:05:54,279 --> 00:05:56,760
Speaker 2: I'm trying to. I'm trying to. I've just been hitting

108
00:05:56,800 --> 00:06:00,760
Speaker 2: up companies to see if they would be willing to,

109
00:06:01,160 --> 00:06:05,359
Speaker 2: you know, do something with me. And I really, you know,

110
00:06:05,400 --> 00:06:07,680
Speaker 2: I don't want to say I'm desperate, but I'm really

111
00:06:07,680 --> 00:06:11,320
Speaker 2: desperate to help and and I'm willing to do it

112
00:06:11,400 --> 00:06:15,080
Speaker 2: whatever with with those companies, and so far it's just

113
00:06:15,120 --> 00:06:16,200
Speaker 2: been out of pocket.

114
00:06:16,279 --> 00:06:20,159
Speaker 1: So yeah, it's so important for something.

115
00:06:21,839 --> 00:06:24,320
Speaker 2: Well, when we talked to in Green Bay, you know, it

116
00:06:24,440 --> 00:06:27,159
Speaker 2: reached thousands of people, and and I hope that it

117
00:06:27,640 --> 00:06:30,039
Speaker 2: continues to do that, you know. So it just the

118
00:06:30,080 --> 00:06:33,359
Speaker 2: awareness is the biggest thing for me. So I'm grateful

119
00:06:33,360 --> 00:06:36,159
Speaker 2: that I have this platform to spread it to. You know,

120
00:06:36,200 --> 00:06:40,480
Speaker 2: whether it's one person or a thousand, like that's that's

121
00:06:40,520 --> 00:06:42,479
Speaker 2: going to be big for me.

122
00:06:43,839 --> 00:06:48,960
Speaker 1: You know, off time you hear some don't hear anything.

123
00:06:49,240 --> 00:06:51,800
Speaker 2: It's still difficult, hard on people.

124
00:06:52,240 --> 00:06:56,320
Speaker 1: Where are they at as in Hawaii or Maui.

125
00:06:57,600 --> 00:06:59,760
Speaker 2: I don't think things have changed as much as you

126
00:06:59,760 --> 00:07:04,159
Speaker 2: would think, you know, and it sucks because there's so

127
00:07:04,240 --> 00:07:06,080
Speaker 2: much other things going on in the world that are

128
00:07:06,279 --> 00:07:12,760
Speaker 2: overshining it. And they should be of course, because I

129
00:07:12,760 --> 00:07:15,200
Speaker 2: can't even get into that topic right now because that's

130
00:07:15,280 --> 00:07:19,360
Speaker 2: just you know, it's tough. But you know, a lot

131
00:07:19,360 --> 00:07:21,240
Speaker 2: of things are overshadowing it, and I just want people

132
00:07:21,320 --> 00:07:24,680
Speaker 2: to know that things aren't getting better. So whatever they

133
00:07:24,680 --> 00:07:29,320
Speaker 2: can do, it would be spectacular. Just curious teams know,

134
00:07:30,880 --> 00:07:32,800
Speaker 2: you know, personally outside of football, since you guys are

135
00:07:32,800 --> 00:07:34,840
Speaker 2: both we know of each other.

136
00:07:36,960 --> 00:07:38,280
Speaker 1: He does a lot for Hawaii, so.

137
00:07:40,240 --> 00:07:43,640
Speaker 2: We've we've met in passing, and so far we've been

138
00:07:44,160 --> 00:07:53,080
Speaker 2: hitting each other since. So I see here
