00:02:09,040 --> 00:02:11,840
Speaker 3: look awfully close together? Closer than usual? Why are you

29
00:02:11,919 --> 00:02:14,080
Speaker 3: laughing at me? Why are you laughing at me?

30
00:02:14,240 --> 00:02:19,440
Speaker 4: They I think they're getting the crowdshot though, but they're.

31
00:02:19,680 --> 00:02:22,000
Speaker 2: Close to you. Yeah, well that's the middle one.

32
00:02:22,480 --> 00:02:26,040
Speaker 3: But there that's like Brevan's camera and it's never that

33
00:02:26,200 --> 00:02:28,440
Speaker 3: close to the crowd shot. And then we're way the

34
00:02:28,480 --> 00:02:32,400
Speaker 3: hell over here, which that I understand. Anyway, thanks for

35
00:02:32,440 --> 00:02:35,520
Speaker 3: being here. It's either well, it's Victory Monday.

36
00:02:37,240 --> 00:02:38,280
Speaker 2: It's a coachable group.

37
00:02:38,320 --> 00:02:42,079
Speaker 3: I like this group it is, and yet it's also Thursday,

38
00:02:42,880 --> 00:02:47,360
Speaker 3: So Brevin, have you known what day it is.

39
00:02:48,800 --> 00:02:50,400
Speaker 2: Since Thanksgiving Day?

40
00:02:50,919 --> 00:02:54,720
Speaker 3: Or are you guys so regulated and let around on

41
00:02:54,800 --> 00:02:57,240
Speaker 3: a collective leash that it doesn't really matter.

42
00:02:57,639 --> 00:02:58,600
Speaker 5: It's actually kind of funny.

43
00:02:58,600 --> 00:03:01,720
Speaker 6: Because when you said it's Thursday, I had no clues

44
00:03:01,760 --> 00:03:05,160
Speaker 6: Thursday today, Like, you know, we've had a kind of

45
00:03:05,200 --> 00:03:08,760
Speaker 6: weird couple of weeks in terms of schedule, but we

46
00:03:08,800 --> 00:03:11,720
Speaker 6: still keep it today as kind of our technically are

47
00:03:11,919 --> 00:03:15,600
Speaker 6: still our Thursday our We called it takeaway because the

48
00:03:15,639 --> 00:03:18,640
Speaker 6: defense had a takeaway this week, but oh they did, okay,

49
00:03:19,080 --> 00:03:20,680
Speaker 6: And we have a little running thing, you know, it's

50
00:03:20,720 --> 00:03:24,359
Speaker 6: either no takeaways or take away Thursday. Okay, and they

51
00:03:24,360 --> 00:03:26,359
Speaker 6: got us this week, so it was takeaway. It was

52
00:03:26,400 --> 00:03:27,400
Speaker 6: takeaway Thursday.

53
00:03:27,480 --> 00:03:30,240
Speaker 3: You mean they got you like in practice? Yeah, and

54
00:03:30,280 --> 00:03:31,600
Speaker 3: did that when that happen yesterday?

55
00:03:31,680 --> 00:03:33,360
Speaker 5: Yeah?

56
00:03:33,400 --> 00:03:34,320
Speaker 2: What was the takeaway?

57
00:03:34,960 --> 00:03:37,320
Speaker 5: It was a tip? It was a tip pick tip pick?

58
00:03:37,400 --> 00:03:38,000
Speaker 2: Who tipped it?

59
00:03:39,160 --> 00:03:41,280
Speaker 5: I don't know who tip. It might have been just

60
00:03:41,320 --> 00:03:43,520
Speaker 5: a regular interception, but it was Marquise Bell.

61
00:03:43,640 --> 00:03:43,960
Speaker 2: Okay.

62
00:03:44,160 --> 00:03:47,320
Speaker 3: So does everybody understand why I'm saying it's Thursday because

63
00:03:47,600 --> 00:03:50,560
Speaker 3: this week they're on a seven Did I hear somebody

64
00:03:50,560 --> 00:03:53,120
Speaker 3: say no, thank you very much. Uh, they're on a

65
00:03:53,200 --> 00:03:57,240
Speaker 3: seven day schedule because they played Thursday, Thanksgiving and the

66
00:03:57,320 --> 00:04:01,000
Speaker 3: next game is on Thursday. So that's a day's schedule

67
00:04:01,040 --> 00:04:03,120
Speaker 3: and you can get He's Brevin's checking his watch to

68
00:04:03,160 --> 00:04:07,080
Speaker 3: make sure I'm right, and that means that they can

69
00:04:07,240 --> 00:04:10,480
Speaker 3: treat the week the way they treat every week. So

70
00:04:11,040 --> 00:04:16,120
Speaker 3: Thursday was Sunday for them, and then every day advances.

71
00:04:16,160 --> 00:04:21,600
Speaker 3: So yesterday was Wednesday and today is Thursday. And I

72
00:04:21,720 --> 00:04:24,520
Speaker 3: just checked and I got the email with the time

73
00:04:24,560 --> 00:04:25,240
Speaker 3: the airplane.

74
00:04:25,440 --> 00:04:27,240
Speaker 6: Super confused because I just said it was Thursday, but

75
00:04:27,240 --> 00:04:28,920
Speaker 6: it's Monday.

76
00:04:28,400 --> 00:04:30,440
Speaker 5: But it's your Thursday.

77
00:04:30,680 --> 00:04:34,760
Speaker 2: It is your Thursday. That's my point, thank you very much.

78
00:04:34,880 --> 00:04:36,600
Speaker 2: And Nicole doesn't care.

79
00:04:37,240 --> 00:04:40,480
Speaker 7: No, no, no, no, no no, I'm here mondays, I'm on

80
00:04:40,520 --> 00:04:43,480
Speaker 7: my regular schedule. I do get kind of confused sometimes

81
00:04:43,560 --> 00:04:47,680
Speaker 7: because after remind myself they were on like their schedules.

82
00:04:47,160 --> 00:04:50,560
Speaker 3: Right, So yesterday it was Sunday to you. You didn't

83
00:04:50,600 --> 00:04:53,880
Speaker 3: have any shows to come in and do no podcasts yesterday? No,

84
00:04:55,040 --> 00:04:58,600
Speaker 3: but it was Wednesday. Practice schedule, was it not? And

85
00:04:58,920 --> 00:05:02,440
Speaker 3: the media schedule was Monday was Wednesday. So I've had

86
00:05:02,480 --> 00:05:04,360
Speaker 3: I'm having a tougher time this week than I did

87
00:05:04,440 --> 00:05:07,640
Speaker 3: last week, and I'm not entirely sure why, but I

88
00:05:07,720 --> 00:05:11,719
Speaker 3: will get over it. But it does bring up the

89
00:05:11,800 --> 00:05:16,400
Speaker 3: question of routine, because your schedu your team's schedule.

90
00:05:16,720 --> 00:05:18,520
Speaker 2: I've been doing this a long time.

91
00:05:19,200 --> 00:05:20,880
Speaker 3: I might have been doing this longer than the two

92
00:05:20,920 --> 00:05:23,640
Speaker 3: of you are old put together, come to think of it.

93
00:05:23,720 --> 00:05:25,680
Speaker 2: Not quite, not quite, But.

94
00:05:27,279 --> 00:05:34,000
Speaker 3: I've never seen so many unusual times, off days, prime

95
00:05:34,120 --> 00:05:35,880
Speaker 3: times within.

96
00:05:35,640 --> 00:05:36,240
Speaker 2: A short span.

97
00:05:36,240 --> 00:05:38,240
Speaker 3: And we got one more, you know, because we're going

98
00:05:38,320 --> 00:05:41,919
Speaker 3: to have Christmas, which we'll get to later. But so

99
00:05:42,040 --> 00:05:44,839
Speaker 3: how difficult is that when things when you went, you

100
00:05:44,880 --> 00:05:47,920
Speaker 3: played on Sunday, and I've played on Monday on Monday

101
00:05:47,960 --> 00:05:51,200
Speaker 3: on the road, so that's there's a short week leading

102
00:05:51,200 --> 00:05:54,200
Speaker 3: into Sunday and then turn around on Thursday, and now

103
00:05:54,200 --> 00:05:56,200
Speaker 3: you've got to convince yourself that the day that it

104
00:05:56,279 --> 00:05:58,599
Speaker 3: is is not the day that How do you do that?

105
00:05:59,120 --> 00:06:00,920
Speaker 6: Yeah, I would say it's kind of easy when you're

106
00:06:00,960 --> 00:06:02,760
Speaker 6: just you know, you're kind of operating with your group

107
00:06:02,960 --> 00:06:06,360
Speaker 6: and our team. Our coaches do a great job of

108
00:06:07,080 --> 00:06:09,720
Speaker 6: having things scheduled out for us, and they make it

109
00:06:09,760 --> 00:06:11,279
Speaker 6: seamless throughout the week.

110
00:06:11,360 --> 00:06:14,000
Speaker 5: You know, when it's a Wednesday practice, it's a Wednesday practice.

111
00:06:14,000 --> 00:06:16,240
Speaker 6: We keep everything the same, so it kind of makes

112
00:06:16,240 --> 00:06:18,400
Speaker 6: it easier when we have things like takeaway Thursday. So

113
00:06:18,440 --> 00:06:20,120
Speaker 6: you know, when you get on the field, all right,

114
00:06:20,120 --> 00:06:21,359
Speaker 6: this is where we're at in the week. This is

115
00:06:21,360 --> 00:06:24,039
Speaker 6: what we're working on today, and let's do it. Let's

116
00:06:24,040 --> 00:06:27,000
Speaker 6: attack it and get ready for whoever we have upcoming

117
00:06:27,000 --> 00:06:27,640
Speaker 6: that week.

118
00:06:27,600 --> 00:06:30,279
Speaker 3: And this weekend. Now you'll get what they call the

119
00:06:30,320 --> 00:06:33,120
Speaker 3: mini buy. You'll actually get days off and that'll be

120
00:06:33,240 --> 00:06:36,520
Speaker 3: very helpful. So, as you may recall, against the hated

121
00:06:36,560 --> 00:06:40,279
Speaker 3: Philadelphia Eagles, Brevan got in the end zone for the

122
00:06:40,320 --> 00:06:43,760
Speaker 3: first time in his NFL career, and can we have

123
00:06:43,800 --> 00:06:47,359
Speaker 3: a big round of applause for Brevan's first touchdown?

124
00:06:47,520 --> 00:06:49,839
Speaker 2: And and I know your.

125
00:06:49,680 --> 00:06:52,040
Speaker 3: Teammates were rasing you because I was talking to Brevian

126
00:06:52,080 --> 00:06:56,080
Speaker 3: in his locker space and Jadavian Clowney was right over

127
00:06:56,120 --> 00:06:59,279
Speaker 3: his shoulder yelling, oh, he's all excited about his first

128
00:06:59,320 --> 00:07:00,320
Speaker 3: little touchdown.

129
00:07:01,320 --> 00:07:03,520
Speaker 2: So they're giving it to you pretty good. But that's

130
00:07:03,760 --> 00:07:04,800
Speaker 2: that was a big feeling.

131
00:07:05,160 --> 00:07:07,440
Speaker 6: Yeah, it was a cool moment. And even I actually

132
00:07:07,480 --> 00:07:09,800
Speaker 6: I just got the ball today and I had Dak

133
00:07:09,880 --> 00:07:12,080
Speaker 6: sign it, so it was just kind of a cool moment.

134
00:07:12,160 --> 00:07:15,160
Speaker 6: Cool for full circle moment. I got to celebrate that,

135
00:07:15,360 --> 00:07:17,680
Speaker 6: and it was very short lived because we had to

136
00:07:17,680 --> 00:07:18,600
Speaker 6: play in four days.

137
00:07:18,600 --> 00:07:20,920
Speaker 4: So it's funny because I remember.

138
00:07:20,600 --> 00:07:23,840
Speaker 7: When obviously you look at the touchdown run you fumbled

139
00:07:23,840 --> 00:07:25,680
Speaker 7: out of your break and we joked about it in

140
00:07:25,760 --> 00:07:26,360
Speaker 7: locker room.

141
00:07:26,640 --> 00:07:29,200
Speaker 4: What was what Dak told you? Because he told us.

142
00:07:29,080 --> 00:07:32,480
Speaker 7: That he was just praying, like, man, Brevan, please don't fall,

143
00:07:32,520 --> 00:07:33,120
Speaker 7: Please don't fall.

144
00:07:33,160 --> 00:07:34,320
Speaker 5: Yeah, that was the first thing he told me.

145
00:07:34,360 --> 00:07:36,680
Speaker 6: He was like, I was waiting for you, and I

146
00:07:36,680 --> 00:07:38,800
Speaker 6: could kind of peripher in my peripher I could kind

147
00:07:38,800 --> 00:07:41,400
Speaker 6: of see him as I'm like stumbling, I can see him.

148
00:07:41,280 --> 00:07:45,120
Speaker 5: Like, get up, get up. So luckily I was able

149
00:07:45,120 --> 00:07:45,560
Speaker 5: to keep.

150
00:07:45,400 --> 00:07:47,960
Speaker 6: My footing and luckily Dak got the ball off before

151
00:07:47,960 --> 00:07:49,680
Speaker 6: it because he had some he had like I think

152
00:07:49,760 --> 00:07:52,120
Speaker 6: two guys after a moment close to the sideline.

153
00:07:52,160 --> 00:07:54,560
Speaker 7: So what's that trust been like between you building that

154
00:07:54,640 --> 00:07:55,640
Speaker 7: with Dak? Uh?

155
00:07:55,720 --> 00:07:56,680
Speaker 5: Yeah, it's been awesome.

156
00:07:56,720 --> 00:07:59,200
Speaker 6: I think going through a full off season was really helpful,

157
00:07:59,520 --> 00:08:02,960
Speaker 6: just being able to kind of understand, begin to understand

158
00:08:03,000 --> 00:08:06,160
Speaker 6: how he sees the game, because obviously he's he's a

159
00:08:06,200 --> 00:08:09,280
Speaker 6: processor and a leader, so it's good to learn from him,

160
00:08:09,280 --> 00:08:11,320
Speaker 6: but it's also good to just see how he sees things.

161
00:08:11,320 --> 00:08:14,000
Speaker 7: But describe that, how does Dak see the game in

162
00:08:14,080 --> 00:08:14,680
Speaker 7: your eyes?

163
00:08:14,920 --> 00:08:16,440
Speaker 6: Well, like, even when you talk to him, you can

164
00:08:16,440 --> 00:08:18,680
Speaker 6: tell he's processing. Like that's the cool thing about you

165
00:08:18,680 --> 00:08:21,800
Speaker 6: know when you meet quarterbacks, they're super processors, and you

166
00:08:21,840 --> 00:08:23,240
Speaker 6: know they're thinking super quick.

167
00:08:23,680 --> 00:08:24,480
Speaker 5: They're quick witted.

168
00:08:25,080 --> 00:08:26,760
Speaker 6: Even if you're joking around with them, like, they're super

169
00:08:26,880 --> 00:08:30,200
Speaker 6: quick witted, know exactly what to say. But on the field,

170
00:08:30,240 --> 00:08:32,559
Speaker 6: in terms of you know, scheme and things like that,

171
00:08:32,679 --> 00:08:36,000
Speaker 6: Dak is he's in full control of the field. He's

172
00:08:36,040 --> 00:08:40,120
Speaker 6: able to make his adjustments. And so especially being a

173
00:08:40,120 --> 00:08:41,560
Speaker 6: tight end, you got to be able to communicate with

174
00:08:41,920 --> 00:08:45,040
Speaker 6: you know, route route things with receivers and then blocking

175
00:08:45,080 --> 00:08:47,600
Speaker 6: schemes with the old line. So just kind of being

176
00:08:47,640 --> 00:08:51,439
Speaker 6: a mini quarterback of the of the offense. Really just

177
00:08:51,559 --> 00:08:55,320
Speaker 6: kind of working behind him and being able to identify.

178
00:08:54,920 --> 00:08:57,560
Speaker 5: Things is super important in our offense.

179
00:08:58,040 --> 00:08:59,280
Speaker 2: Have you ever met Jason with me?

180
00:08:59,720 --> 00:09:02,640
Speaker 3: No, we'll have to set that up because we liked

181
00:09:02,679 --> 00:09:05,680
Speaker 3: to talk about what you just said about what the

182
00:09:05,720 --> 00:09:08,240
Speaker 3: tight ends had to do, and he always liked to

183
00:09:08,280 --> 00:09:11,200
Speaker 3: say it's the second hardest position after quarterback, because we

184
00:09:11,240 --> 00:09:13,160
Speaker 3: got to know everything. We got to know everything's going

185
00:09:13,200 --> 00:09:15,880
Speaker 3: on in the offense because we might have to block

186
00:09:15,920 --> 00:09:19,360
Speaker 3: and we might have to receive the ball. And but

187
00:09:19,400 --> 00:09:21,160
Speaker 3: I want to go back to the touchdown for a minute,

188
00:09:21,160 --> 00:09:24,600
Speaker 3: because we talked about this briefly yesterday, But you said

189
00:09:24,720 --> 00:09:27,680
Speaker 3: Dak was waiting for you to like straighten up and

190
00:09:27,720 --> 00:09:31,160
Speaker 3: have your feet but when you when you did, you

191
00:09:31,240 --> 00:09:34,640
Speaker 3: start to stumble before you realized how open you were

192
00:09:35,480 --> 00:09:37,400
Speaker 3: or were you did you realize you were wide open?

193
00:09:37,520 --> 00:09:40,280
Speaker 2: And then stumbled? And then how did you not have

194
00:09:40,360 --> 00:09:43,559
Speaker 2: thoughts like do not fall down?

195
00:09:44,360 --> 00:09:47,680
Speaker 5: Well, it was really more of like, uh, we really ran.

196
00:09:47,720 --> 00:09:50,760
Speaker 6: We ran to play against Dever and I kind of

197
00:09:50,800 --> 00:09:53,440
Speaker 6: got hemmed up on it. So I was like, going

198
00:09:53,720 --> 00:09:55,880
Speaker 6: as we called the play I was like, I know

199
00:09:55,920 --> 00:09:57,760
Speaker 6: that going into the game plan, this is probably one

200
00:09:57,800 --> 00:10:01,600
Speaker 6: of my opportunities to catch a touchdowns. So knowing that

201
00:10:01,640 --> 00:10:04,040
Speaker 6: I've already ran the playoff was like, I can't get

202
00:10:04,040 --> 00:10:06,439
Speaker 6: held by the safety and I might have been a

203
00:10:06,480 --> 00:10:10,400
Speaker 6: little too aggressive on my release and he felt And.

204
00:10:10,480 --> 00:10:12,400
Speaker 3: I stopped there for a minute because I want people

205
00:10:12,400 --> 00:10:13,800
Speaker 3: to understand exactly what that meant.

206
00:10:13,800 --> 00:10:15,840
Speaker 2: When you say you were too aggressive on your release,

207
00:10:15,880 --> 00:10:16,320
Speaker 2: what does.

208
00:10:16,200 --> 00:10:16,720
Speaker 5: That mean.

209
00:10:18,160 --> 00:10:22,440
Speaker 6: Instead of you know, using my hands hand fighting against them,

210
00:10:22,640 --> 00:10:25,560
Speaker 6: I kind of went into him and that caused me

211
00:10:25,640 --> 00:10:28,600
Speaker 6: to kind of lose balance. We both kind of stumbled

212
00:10:29,440 --> 00:10:31,520
Speaker 6: he fell and I was able to keep my footing,

213
00:10:31,559 --> 00:10:33,680
Speaker 6: but I was definitely thinking just stay up. I didn't

214
00:10:33,679 --> 00:10:35,120
Speaker 6: know if I was open, if I was going to

215
00:10:35,160 --> 00:10:37,520
Speaker 6: get the ball, but I just knew I needed to

216
00:10:37,520 --> 00:10:39,719
Speaker 6: be up in case Dak needed to kind of throw

217
00:10:39,760 --> 00:10:40,880
Speaker 6: it to the back of the end zone.

218
00:10:41,120 --> 00:10:46,199
Speaker 3: So the receiving part of your game, so many places

219
00:10:46,200 --> 00:10:48,000
Speaker 3: I want to go, and we fortunately have an hour,

220
00:10:48,080 --> 00:10:50,600
Speaker 3: so we're going to get to them. But the receiving

221
00:10:50,640 --> 00:10:55,000
Speaker 3: part of your game was not correctly or incorrectly. It

222
00:10:55,080 --> 00:10:58,480
Speaker 3: was not recognized as your strength coming out of school.

223
00:10:59,240 --> 00:11:01,880
Speaker 3: And you and I talked about this in training camp.

224
00:11:01,920 --> 00:11:04,240
Speaker 3: You worked so hard in the offseason. You could see

225
00:11:04,240 --> 00:11:06,760
Speaker 3: it in OTAs you could see it in the mini camp,

226
00:11:07,320 --> 00:11:10,600
Speaker 3: and you could see your route running was smoother and

227
00:11:10,640 --> 00:11:13,679
Speaker 3: your hand you seemed more comfortable with your hands. How

228
00:11:14,360 --> 00:11:18,199
Speaker 3: much of that is correct that you just felt better

229
00:11:18,280 --> 00:11:21,040
Speaker 3: as a receiver, And how did you do that from

230
00:11:21,080 --> 00:11:22,440
Speaker 3: season one to season two?

231
00:11:22,760 --> 00:11:22,960
Speaker 5: Yeah?

232
00:11:23,040 --> 00:11:24,960
Speaker 6: I would say during the off season I worked with

233
00:11:25,040 --> 00:11:30,040
Speaker 6: Ronnie Braxton over in Allen and I mean me, Ryan

234
00:11:30,080 --> 00:11:33,360
Speaker 6: Flornoy and Kelvin Harmon another receiver. It was with the

235
00:11:33,360 --> 00:11:37,120
Speaker 6: Cowboys all we worked out with him all summer, and

236
00:11:37,480 --> 00:11:41,280
Speaker 6: it was amazing for me. Everything we did was oriented

237
00:11:41,320 --> 00:11:44,280
Speaker 6: towards catching the football things that we do in game.

238
00:11:45,000 --> 00:11:49,320
Speaker 6: So working with him definitely raised my level of trust

239
00:11:49,360 --> 00:11:52,520
Speaker 6: within my receiving game, being able to just be fluid

240
00:11:52,600 --> 00:11:55,839
Speaker 6: in my route running. So definitely a big shout out

241
00:11:55,880 --> 00:11:59,360
Speaker 6: to him. And then obviously just understanding the offense better.

242
00:12:00,080 --> 00:12:01,560
Speaker 6: When you know the offense, you're able to play more

243
00:12:01,600 --> 00:12:04,760
Speaker 6: free play faster. So I think that's definitely what helped

244
00:12:04,800 --> 00:12:06,520
Speaker 6: me make the kind of jump that I did from

245
00:12:06,559 --> 00:12:07,000
Speaker 6: your one.

246
00:12:06,920 --> 00:12:07,520
Speaker 5: To to year two.

247
00:12:07,679 --> 00:12:10,559
Speaker 2: What was the mascot of Saint Cloud Tech.

248
00:12:11,240 --> 00:12:12,360
Speaker 5: Saint Cloud Tech Tigers.

249
00:12:12,360 --> 00:12:14,280
Speaker 3: The Tiger's all right, we're gonna that's you know what

250
00:12:14,320 --> 00:12:18,040
Speaker 3: we're gonna do. We're gonna get Brevin from Saint Cloud

251
00:12:18,120 --> 00:12:20,760
Speaker 3: Tech to the Dallas Cowboys when we come back, and

252
00:12:20,800 --> 00:12:24,520
Speaker 3: all the other steps in between. And uh, Nicole just

253
00:12:24,600 --> 00:12:27,240
Speaker 3: reached for her little script, which means she knows what

254
00:12:27,280 --> 00:12:30,760
Speaker 3: I'm gonna say next, which is Nicole absolutely who's bringing

255
00:12:30,840 --> 00:12:32,599
Speaker 3: us this fine show to Albertson's.

261
00:12:44,120 --> 00:12:46,280
Speaker 3: I have some friends actually who listen, and they heard

262
00:12:46,440 --> 00:12:48,920
Speaker 3: they knew that though almost by heart. And there was

263
00:12:48,920 --> 00:12:51,760
Speaker 3: a game that was like maybe it was whatever it was,

264
00:12:51,800 --> 00:12:52,560
Speaker 3: it wasn't maybe it was the.

265
00:12:52,559 --> 00:12:53,160
Speaker 2: Monday night game.

266
00:12:53,240 --> 00:12:56,920
Speaker 3: Yeah, So they went to the store where in the

267
00:12:57,440 --> 00:12:59,640
Speaker 3: and it wasn't game day, so they didn't want to

268
00:12:59,640 --> 00:13:01,320
Speaker 3: give it the discount, so they went home and chained

269
00:13:01,320 --> 00:13:03,240
Speaker 3: shirts and came back to the store. We are on

Speaker 3: Now people who listen to our broadcast know that I'm

280
00:16:35,200 --> 00:16:37,840
Speaker 3: a big Brevin fan because I'm talking about you all

281
00:16:37,840 --> 00:16:40,600
Speaker 3: the time because I'm waiting for you to break out,

282
00:16:40,680 --> 00:16:43,560
Speaker 3: which is not up to you. You just do what

283
00:16:43,600 --> 00:16:45,480
Speaker 3: you're asked to do. Which maybe we should just start

284
00:16:45,480 --> 00:16:51,440
Speaker 3: there for a moment, because let's let's talk about your blocking.

285
00:16:51,560 --> 00:16:54,000
Speaker 3: I mean, you're you block as well as as a

286
00:16:54,040 --> 00:16:57,840
Speaker 3: starting offensive lineman. That was your forte at the University

287
00:16:57,840 --> 00:16:58,440
Speaker 3: of Minnesota.

288
00:16:58,480 --> 00:17:02,000
Speaker 6: Correct, Yeah, event actually I'll say, but not to begin with,

289
00:17:02,280 --> 00:17:04,360
Speaker 6: not to begin with, let's get us to where you're

290
00:17:04,359 --> 00:17:05,080
Speaker 6: a good blocker.

291
00:17:05,359 --> 00:17:08,760
Speaker 5: Yeah, so I played high school wide receiver.

292
00:17:08,720 --> 00:17:11,040
Speaker 2: Wide receiver. Yeah what he's six seven?

293
00:17:11,359 --> 00:17:11,800
Speaker 5: Yeah?

294
00:17:11,880 --> 00:17:13,400
Speaker 2: What were you in high school?

295
00:17:13,480 --> 00:17:15,720
Speaker 6: High school was probably like six four sixty five, but

296
00:17:15,800 --> 00:17:21,360
Speaker 6: I was barely two hundred pounds, very skinny, so eventually

297
00:17:21,400 --> 00:17:23,600
Speaker 6: grew into my frame. But I got recruited as a

298
00:17:23,640 --> 00:17:26,919
Speaker 6: receiver and a tight end, and my dad's a pretty

299
00:17:27,000 --> 00:17:29,320
Speaker 6: large human being, so I kind of saw myself being

300
00:17:29,320 --> 00:17:34,199
Speaker 6: a tight end eventually growing a little bit. So I

301
00:17:34,280 --> 00:17:36,399
Speaker 6: really kind of approached the schools that wanted me as

302
00:17:36,440 --> 00:17:39,400
Speaker 6: a tight end, and Minnesota is my dream school. So

303
00:17:39,800 --> 00:17:43,679
Speaker 6: once they offered me, I committed on the spot. But

304
00:17:44,160 --> 00:17:47,560
Speaker 6: going into it, Minnesota isn't very it wasn't very like

305
00:17:47,600 --> 00:17:51,320
Speaker 6: a pass catcher position. At at Minnesota, the tight end

306
00:17:51,359 --> 00:17:56,800
Speaker 6: role definitely more of an inline blocker, extra offensive lineman role.

307
00:17:57,240 --> 00:18:00,720
Speaker 6: So kind of being able to work with the guys

308
00:18:00,720 --> 00:18:03,359
Speaker 6: that who had already been there. Cooke Keith, he's a

309
00:18:03,359 --> 00:18:05,440
Speaker 6: guy with the Buccaneers. He's a tight end with the Buccaneers.

310
00:18:07,440 --> 00:18:10,640
Speaker 6: Kind of learning from him and playing behind him really

311
00:18:10,640 --> 00:18:13,000
Speaker 6: taught me how to, you know, my savvy in the

312
00:18:13,040 --> 00:18:14,840
Speaker 6: run game and being able to kind of move people

313
00:18:14,840 --> 00:18:17,080
Speaker 6: off the football. And it's definitely something I had to

314
00:18:17,080 --> 00:18:19,600
Speaker 6: develop over time. It probably took me about two or

315
00:18:19,640 --> 00:18:23,879
Speaker 6: three years at school to really develop into somewhat of

316
00:18:23,880 --> 00:18:24,639
Speaker 6: a good blocker.

317
00:18:24,880 --> 00:18:26,800
Speaker 7: And when you look at the film, you can see

318
00:18:26,840 --> 00:18:28,560
Speaker 7: you have a lot of fun blocking.

319
00:18:29,240 --> 00:18:30,960
Speaker 4: What makes it so fun.

320
00:18:30,720 --> 00:18:36,480
Speaker 6: For you, It's just the competitiveness. It's just you versus

321
00:18:36,480 --> 00:18:39,560
Speaker 6: the guy in front of you. It's just a great

322
00:18:39,600 --> 00:18:42,600
Speaker 6: feeling of you know, springing a big run and you know,

323
00:18:42,680 --> 00:18:45,160
Speaker 6: my running backs in the end zone because of something

324
00:18:45,240 --> 00:18:47,720
Speaker 6: I did or a block that I had, so just

325
00:18:47,800 --> 00:18:49,879
Speaker 6: kind of having pride in that, and you know, you

326
00:18:49,920 --> 00:18:52,240
Speaker 6: always want to block for running backs who run hard.

327
00:18:53,000 --> 00:18:54,760
Speaker 6: I have a tremendous amount of respect for our running

328
00:18:54,760 --> 00:18:57,280
Speaker 6: back room. They're all guys that you know, they're good people.

329
00:18:57,440 --> 00:18:59,600
Speaker 6: They all run hard, so it's easy to block for

330
00:18:59,640 --> 00:19:00,000
Speaker 6: those guys.

331
00:19:00,160 --> 00:19:04,120
Speaker 3: Now, I don't want to get overly technical, but if

332
00:19:03,840 --> 00:19:08,560
Speaker 3: you guys ever get a chance to watch replays, just

333
00:19:08,640 --> 00:19:11,200
Speaker 3: a lot of replays are the All twenty two film.

334
00:19:11,520 --> 00:19:12,400
Speaker 2: There are elements.

335
00:19:12,400 --> 00:19:16,320
Speaker 3: It seems to me, the especially I don't know if

336
00:19:16,320 --> 00:19:21,040
Speaker 3: it's been all year, but the way you particularly but

337
00:19:21,320 --> 00:19:23,720
Speaker 3: all of your tight ends and the full back are

338
00:19:23,760 --> 00:19:27,080
Speaker 3: being used, remind me of elements of the forty nine

339
00:19:27,200 --> 00:19:31,520
Speaker 3: Ers running game, which they've done so well with with

340
00:19:31,680 --> 00:19:34,320
Speaker 3: Kittle and usecheck for the last several years.

341
00:19:34,400 --> 00:19:35,440
Speaker 2: Is that by designed?

342
00:19:35,480 --> 00:19:35,800
Speaker 4: Do you know?

343
00:19:36,359 --> 00:19:36,560
Speaker 5: Yeah?

344
00:19:36,560 --> 00:19:38,680
Speaker 6: I would say, I mean the NFL is a lot

345
00:19:38,680 --> 00:19:41,520
Speaker 6: of you know, copy paste around the league. You know,

346
00:19:41,640 --> 00:19:44,440
Speaker 6: we could we could see a play on Thursday that

347
00:19:44,160 --> 00:19:46,960
Speaker 6: that Detroit really uses well and we could have it

348
00:19:47,000 --> 00:19:48,959
Speaker 6: in by the next week. Like that's just how it is.

349
00:19:49,800 --> 00:19:51,920
Speaker 6: But I would definitely say it's a it's a huge

350
00:19:51,920 --> 00:19:56,119
Speaker 6: combination of our coaching staff within the offseason kind of

351
00:19:56,119 --> 00:19:59,320
Speaker 6: just trying different things, being able to kind of experiment

352
00:19:59,359 --> 00:20:02,520
Speaker 6: with what scheme help benefit our personnel.

353
00:20:03,200 --> 00:20:08,600
Speaker 3: Do you think that your reputation as being a better

354
00:20:08,640 --> 00:20:12,960
Speaker 3: blocker than a receiver was the reason you weren't drafted.

355
00:20:15,800 --> 00:20:16,280
Speaker 5: I don't know.

356
00:20:16,800 --> 00:20:19,320
Speaker 6: I guess that's not really a question I can answer.

357
00:20:20,320 --> 00:20:21,760
Speaker 6: I mean a lot of people ask me why I

358
00:20:21,800 --> 00:20:24,800
Speaker 6: wasn't drafted, and I just joke around and say character issues,

359
00:20:24,880 --> 00:20:25,440
Speaker 6: just because.

360
00:20:26,320 --> 00:20:29,320
Speaker 2: Because it's just so yeah, because it's so not true.

361
00:20:29,400 --> 00:20:31,640
Speaker 2: But I mean, but I mean, you got an agent. Yeah,

362
00:20:31,800 --> 00:20:34,040
Speaker 2: agents tell their players. Do you ever did you ever

363
00:20:34,080 --> 00:20:36,000
Speaker 2: say to the agent? What do they what are they saying?

364
00:20:36,040 --> 00:20:36,080
Speaker 7: What?

365
00:20:37,560 --> 00:20:40,719
Speaker 6: I had grades as high as third round and then

366
00:20:40,840 --> 00:20:43,800
Speaker 6: grades as low as undrafted. So going into the draft weekend,

367
00:20:43,840 --> 00:20:47,720
Speaker 6: I'm like, I guess we'll see. So uh, just kind

368
00:20:47,720 --> 00:20:51,240
Speaker 6: of just was with my family, prayed on it, and

369
00:20:51,359 --> 00:20:53,359
Speaker 6: unfortunately I wasn't. I didn't hear my name called, but

370
00:20:54,040 --> 00:20:57,200
Speaker 6: fortunately I was given an opportunity to come here, and

371
00:20:57,440 --> 00:21:00,679
Speaker 6: it was really here in Minnesota that the only two

372
00:21:00,760 --> 00:21:02,040
Speaker 6: teams really interested in me.

373
00:21:02,080 --> 00:21:06,919
Speaker 3: So I don't like talking to players about their money

374
00:21:06,960 --> 00:21:09,800
Speaker 3: because it's none of our business. But my understanding is

375
00:21:10,520 --> 00:21:13,760
Speaker 3: that you the Cowboys treated you as what's referred to

376
00:21:13,800 --> 00:21:16,560
Speaker 3: as a premium free agent. With the bonus they offered,

377
00:21:17,240 --> 00:21:19,760
Speaker 3: they made it clear to you that signing you as

378
00:21:19,800 --> 00:21:22,160
Speaker 3: a free agent was something that you weren't just another

379
00:21:22,200 --> 00:21:23,200
Speaker 3: body being brought to camp.

380
00:21:23,320 --> 00:21:23,800
Speaker 2: Is that correct?

381
00:21:23,880 --> 00:21:24,479
Speaker 5: Yeah? Correct?

382
00:21:24,760 --> 00:21:26,639
Speaker 2: And how did you take that? What did that do

383
00:21:26,720 --> 00:21:26,960
Speaker 2: for you?

384
00:21:27,840 --> 00:21:30,159
Speaker 5: I mean, obviously it helped regardless.

385
00:21:30,160 --> 00:21:31,480
Speaker 6: You know, I knew I had to go into a

386
00:21:31,520 --> 00:21:33,959
Speaker 6: camp and fight to go make a team, regardless if

387
00:21:33,960 --> 00:21:36,920
Speaker 6: I was picked or not. So I was just super

388
00:21:36,960 --> 00:21:40,399
Speaker 6: grateful to not only just come to an organization, but

389
00:21:40,520 --> 00:21:42,119
Speaker 6: one as prestigious as the Cowboys.

390
00:21:42,280 --> 00:21:44,800
Speaker 7: And you also came into a room that had a

391
00:21:44,880 --> 00:21:47,359
Speaker 7: Jake Ferguson who was just came off of one of

392
00:21:47,359 --> 00:21:48,840
Speaker 7: the years best years of his career.

393
00:21:49,359 --> 00:21:51,440
Speaker 4: What was that like coming into a room with Jake.

394
00:21:52,160 --> 00:21:54,000
Speaker 6: I mean, it's awesome because I mean I followed Jake

395
00:21:54,080 --> 00:21:57,680
Speaker 6: since his days at Wisconsin, going against him and even

396
00:21:57,720 --> 00:21:58,440
Speaker 6: Schooney as well.

397
00:21:59,119 --> 00:22:01,720
Speaker 5: Just seeing those guys' success.

398
00:22:01,240 --> 00:22:03,480
Speaker 6: And being be able to be in a room with

399
00:22:03,520 --> 00:22:06,240
Speaker 6: them and kind of have a part in their success

400
00:22:06,240 --> 00:22:07,600
Speaker 6: too is awesome.

401
00:22:07,800 --> 00:22:09,040
Speaker 4: What have they done for your growth?

402
00:22:09,560 --> 00:22:11,199
Speaker 5: Uh, They've done tremendous things.

403
00:22:12,359 --> 00:22:14,840
Speaker 6: From the day stepped in here, They've They've always had

404
00:22:14,840 --> 00:22:17,840
Speaker 6: a helping hand to me. Them and L Dub have

405
00:22:18,000 --> 00:22:21,280
Speaker 6: always just been there for me, you know, on the

406
00:22:21,320 --> 00:22:23,480
Speaker 6: good days, on the bad days, We're always there for

407
00:22:23,520 --> 00:22:26,439
Speaker 6: each other, even when they're you know, getting after me

408
00:22:26,760 --> 00:22:29,240
Speaker 6: or we're getting after someone in the room.

409
00:22:29,560 --> 00:22:30,320
Speaker 5: It's been awesome.

410
00:22:30,800 --> 00:22:32,600
Speaker 2: Tight ends on this team.

411
00:22:32,680 --> 00:22:35,879
Speaker 3: Always talk about l dub Not every fan knows that

412
00:22:35,880 --> 00:22:36,679
Speaker 3: that's your position.

413
00:22:36,760 --> 00:22:39,000
Speaker 2: Coach Linda Wells, he's one.

414
00:22:38,840 --> 00:22:42,159
Speaker 3: Of the very best former offensive line coach. Was with

415
00:22:42,240 --> 00:22:45,600
Speaker 3: the Giants for a while and uh and he's one

416
00:22:45,640 --> 00:22:45,880
Speaker 3: of the.

417
00:22:45,920 --> 00:22:47,240
Speaker 2: Very best tight end coaches.

418
00:22:47,280 --> 00:22:50,440
Speaker 3: I think the team was really lucky in the coaching

419
00:22:50,920 --> 00:22:53,119
Speaker 3: change up to be able to keep him on the staff.

420
00:22:53,359 --> 00:22:57,800
Speaker 3: What in particular has he done to help you learn

421
00:22:57,960 --> 00:22:59,199
Speaker 3: and improve as a player.

422
00:23:00,280 --> 00:23:03,320
Speaker 6: I think the biggest thing with him is his He

423
00:23:03,400 --> 00:23:05,040
Speaker 6: takes so much pride in the individual.

424
00:23:05,960 --> 00:23:06,919
Speaker 5: So when we're doing.

425
00:23:06,880 --> 00:23:11,960
Speaker 6: Individual working on our individual skill sets, he is amazing

426
00:23:12,000 --> 00:23:14,800
Speaker 6: at having drills for every single thing. Everything we do

427
00:23:14,880 --> 00:23:16,680
Speaker 6: in a game, he has a drill for it and

428
00:23:16,720 --> 00:23:17,400
Speaker 6: he's able.

429
00:23:17,200 --> 00:23:17,800
Speaker 5: To apply it.

430
00:23:17,880 --> 00:23:20,800
Speaker 6: So when we go on on the grass, it's it's

431
00:23:20,840 --> 00:23:23,640
Speaker 6: like you're in an individual literally. He does a great

432
00:23:23,720 --> 00:23:26,560
Speaker 6: job of not only doing that, but also having a

433
00:23:26,600 --> 00:23:29,960
Speaker 6: process for us throughout the week. He he's on top

434
00:23:30,040 --> 00:23:32,760
Speaker 6: of everything, we're always in the meeting room, always, always

435
00:23:32,760 --> 00:23:33,960
Speaker 6: just trying to find ways to get better.

436
00:23:35,560 --> 00:23:39,600
Speaker 7: What does an individual workout or process look like for

437
00:23:39,680 --> 00:23:41,240
Speaker 7: you that Linda Wells puts together.

438
00:23:42,040 --> 00:23:43,240
Speaker 5: So it's really all of us.

439
00:23:44,520 --> 00:23:47,560
Speaker 6: Every day when we start practice, we'll go out there

440
00:23:47,600 --> 00:23:50,840
Speaker 6: and we'll be probably we're usually the first position group

441
00:23:50,880 --> 00:23:51,840
Speaker 6: out there for practice.

442
00:23:51,880 --> 00:23:52,960
Speaker 5: Every day, you'll see.

443
00:23:52,840 --> 00:23:55,640
Speaker 6: Us doing the shoots, doing all the stuff. And then

444
00:23:56,119 --> 00:23:59,639
Speaker 6: once we get to individual when practice is going, you

445
00:23:59,760 --> 00:24:03,920
Speaker 6: name it, whether we're working on releases, working with the tackles.

446
00:24:05,080 --> 00:24:06,240
Speaker 5: He's got something for everything.

447
00:24:06,400 --> 00:24:08,920
Speaker 6: Like I wish I could I wish I could see

448
00:24:09,400 --> 00:24:11,800
Speaker 6: lw is like, he's one of the best coaches I've

449
00:24:11,800 --> 00:24:12,720
Speaker 6: ever been around.

450
00:24:12,840 --> 00:24:15,000
Speaker 2: Are any of his drills really weird?

451
00:24:15,800 --> 00:24:16,159
Speaker 1: Hmmm?

452
00:24:16,240 --> 00:24:20,239
Speaker 5: I wouldn't say weird, but that's kind of the thing

453
00:24:20,280 --> 00:24:20,679
Speaker 5: about him.

454
00:24:20,720 --> 00:24:23,120
Speaker 6: He'll he'll he'll bounce ideas off of all of us

455
00:24:23,280 --> 00:24:25,400
Speaker 6: and be like, how can we make this better?

456
00:24:25,400 --> 00:24:26,399
Speaker 5: How can we make this better?

457
00:24:26,480 --> 00:24:28,520
Speaker 2: I asked if they were weird, because there was.

458
00:24:28,560 --> 00:24:30,800
Speaker 3: The Cowboys had a tight end coach named Mike Pope

459
00:24:31,280 --> 00:24:33,880
Speaker 3: has passed away rest his soul a few years ago,

460
00:24:34,400 --> 00:24:36,200
Speaker 3: and he was a He was an old school guy,

461
00:24:36,280 --> 00:24:38,920
Speaker 3: and he'd been with the Giants, also been around the league.

462
00:24:39,680 --> 00:24:43,080
Speaker 2: Very smart, but he had You.

463
00:24:43,040 --> 00:24:45,080
Speaker 3: Would go out there one day and they would all

464
00:24:45,080 --> 00:24:48,760
Speaker 3: be blindfolded, or you'd go out there one day and

465
00:24:48,800 --> 00:24:51,359
Speaker 3: the ball would be they would he would duck the

466
00:24:51,400 --> 00:24:53,640
Speaker 3: ball in a bucket of water if it.

467
00:24:53,640 --> 00:24:55,920
Speaker 2: Was maybe gonna be a wet game, or there.

468
00:24:55,800 --> 00:24:58,760
Speaker 3: Would be like all kind of behind the backsta stuff,

469
00:24:58,880 --> 00:25:01,600
Speaker 3: or you're Lai down and he's gonna throw it, you

470
00:25:01,720 --> 00:25:04,199
Speaker 3: gotta jump up, and all kind of stuff like that.

471
00:25:04,280 --> 00:25:05,919
Speaker 2: Does he do? Does lon to do anything?

472
00:25:05,920 --> 00:25:08,200
Speaker 6: Like we definitely do the wet ball drolls. Yeah, there

473
00:25:08,280 --> 00:25:10,919
Speaker 6: is a singular. If there's a one percent chance it's

00:25:10,920 --> 00:25:14,840
Speaker 6: gonna rain, we're doing wet ball drolls the whole week. No,

475
00:25:15,000 --> 00:25:17,159
Speaker 6: it's it's definitely some of the stuff's on orthodox. But

476
00:25:17,200 --> 00:25:19,560
Speaker 6: that's that's how you you know, adjust things. That's how

477
00:25:19,600 --> 00:25:21,800
Speaker 6: you you know, find out what works and what doesn't.

478
00:25:22,080 --> 00:25:24,880
Speaker 6: If we might do a drill that it's like, we'll.

479
00:25:24,680 --> 00:25:25,200
Speaker 5: Throw it out.

480
00:25:25,320 --> 00:25:27,359
Speaker 6: But if it's good and we can fix it and

481
00:25:27,400 --> 00:25:28,800
Speaker 6: adapt it, then we'll keep it.

482
00:25:29,160 --> 00:25:31,320
Speaker 3: I'm saving special teams for a minute because it's I

483
00:25:31,320 --> 00:25:33,240
Speaker 3: think it's a it's a really important part of what

484
00:25:33,320 --> 00:25:36,359
Speaker 3: you do, and your history with special teams is not

485
00:25:36,560 --> 00:25:39,280
Speaker 3: particularly conventional. But first, I want to go back to

486
00:25:39,320 --> 00:25:41,880
Speaker 3: something you said before we took our last break, which

487
00:25:41,960 --> 00:25:48,320
Speaker 3: folks here don't hear all the time, which is I

488
00:25:48,520 --> 00:25:52,639
Speaker 3: was offered by Minnesota, which was my dream school. We

489
00:25:53,040 --> 00:25:55,399
Speaker 3: don't hear a lot that Minnesota was my dream school.

490
00:25:55,560 --> 00:25:58,600
Speaker 3: But everybody didn't grow up in Saint Cloud. Yeah, right,

491
00:25:59,000 --> 00:26:03,359
Speaker 3: so you're a native. Yeah, and just that, and that was, yeah,

492
00:26:03,440 --> 00:26:04,800
Speaker 3: you wanted to be a Gopher.

493
00:26:04,600 --> 00:26:06,880
Speaker 6: And like even being down here working out of sm

494
00:26:07,040 --> 00:26:07,880
Speaker 6: I'm like, dang, like.

495
00:26:10,480 --> 00:26:11,840
Speaker 5: It looks beautiful down here.

496
00:26:11,880 --> 00:26:15,360
Speaker 6: It is, but no, just going up in Sant Claub, Minnesota,

497
00:26:15,400 --> 00:26:17,120
Speaker 6: I mean I just grew up watching the Gophers and

498
00:26:17,520 --> 00:26:18,920
Speaker 6: that's where really where I wanted.

499
00:26:18,760 --> 00:26:20,959
Speaker 4: To be, and your mom wanted you to be there

500
00:26:21,000 --> 00:26:21,520
Speaker 4: as well.

501
00:26:21,960 --> 00:26:24,879
Speaker 7: Tell us that story about your mom going into the coaching.

502
00:26:25,040 --> 00:26:28,440
Speaker 3: Okay, So, by the way, this coach, the head coach

503
00:26:28,800 --> 00:26:32,480
Speaker 3: had been he actually coached I think it was Western

504
00:26:32,520 --> 00:26:37,080
Speaker 3: Michigan in the Cotton Bowl and from that he got

505
00:26:37,160 --> 00:26:41,040
Speaker 3: the job at Minnesota. Okay, so now now answered Nicoles question.

506
00:26:41,600 --> 00:26:43,919
Speaker 6: So I was going to a lot of camps I

507
00:26:43,960 --> 00:26:46,360
Speaker 6: was going. I went to I think three Minnesota camps

508
00:26:46,480 --> 00:26:50,320
Speaker 6: to try and get offer, and the third one my

509
00:26:50,400 --> 00:26:54,040
Speaker 6: mom was like pretty she was she was pretty upset.

510
00:26:53,800 --> 00:26:56,359
Speaker 2: But that you hadn't been offered.

511
00:26:56,400 --> 00:26:58,520
Speaker 6: That I hadn't been offered yet yet because I was

517
00:27:12,520 --> 00:27:14,600

528
00:27:41,640 --> 00:27:42,760
Speaker 3: she had that kind of person.

Speaker 3: why my boy hasn't been offered yet.

532
00:27:50,560 --> 00:27:54,399
Speaker 6: And he was literally like, yeah, you're right, you have

533
00:27:54,440 --> 00:27:58,919
Speaker 6: some points like But then the conversation continued and basically

534
00:27:59,000 --> 00:27:59,520
Speaker 6: she just.

535
00:27:59,800 --> 00:28:01,800

Speaker 5: me that day.

537
00:28:02,600 --> 00:28:04,040
Speaker 2: But that's what he said.

538
00:28:04,280 --> 00:28:06,240
Speaker 5: That's what he says. But you know, I still give

539
00:28:06,280 --> 00:28:07,520
Speaker 5: him grief about it when I come back.

540
00:28:07,520 --> 00:28:08,800
Speaker 2: Do you think Mom wore him down?

541
00:28:09,440 --> 00:28:12,320
Speaker 5: Definitely a little bit. She got after him pretty good.

542
00:28:12,800 --> 00:28:14,159
Speaker 4: What was her selling point?

543
00:28:14,440 --> 00:28:16,560
Speaker 6: She just said, my son is willing to do whatever

544
00:28:16,560 --> 00:28:18,320
Speaker 6: it takes to be on part of this football team.

545
00:28:19,080 --> 00:28:20,280
Speaker 4: You obviously did.

546
00:28:20,600 --> 00:28:23,640
Speaker 2: Now here's my next question before our break. You might

547
00:28:23,640 --> 00:28:25,680
Speaker 2: not be ready to answer it right away. See how

548
00:28:25,720 --> 00:28:28,080
Speaker 2: she looks at me when I do that. She does

549
00:28:28,240 --> 00:28:31,240
Speaker 2: not trust me. All these years of doing these shows.

Speaker 3: to be a genius move Brevan by your mother.

575
00:32:51,560 --> 00:32:55,920
Speaker 2: And so you're you laugh with the coach about that? Now?

576
00:32:55,920 --> 00:32:57,840
Speaker 2: Did you laugh all the time you were at Minnesota?

577
00:32:58,120 --> 00:33:01,880
Speaker 6: Yeah, pretty much, but it was I don't know, there's

578
00:33:01,920 --> 00:33:05,320
Speaker 6: there's multiple there's different versions of the story, but yeah,

579
00:33:05,360 --> 00:33:07,000
Speaker 6: I always give him a hard time about it.

580
00:33:09,000 --> 00:33:12,520
Speaker 3: When I said in the last segment, Brevian's one of

581
00:33:12,520 --> 00:33:16,080
Speaker 3: my favorite players. I started to talk about how my

582
00:33:16,200 --> 00:33:18,720
Speaker 3: high estimation for him went. I'm not sure either up

583
00:33:18,880 --> 00:33:21,840
Speaker 3: or down in the last couple of days, because look,

584
00:33:21,840 --> 00:33:23,960
Speaker 3: we had there's a few minutes of practice that's opened

585
00:33:24,000 --> 00:33:25,160
Speaker 3: to the likes of us.

586
00:33:25,760 --> 00:33:26,960
Speaker 2: And so we look out and it was.

587
00:33:26,920 --> 00:33:31,000
Speaker 3: Cold yesterday, it was colder today. Poor Ceedee Lamb. I

588
00:33:31,000 --> 00:33:32,520
Speaker 3: thought he was gonna snap in half.

589
00:33:32,560 --> 00:33:33,800
Speaker 2: He was. He could not take it.

590
00:33:33,800 --> 00:33:36,960
Speaker 3: He was he had bundles and his only his eyes

591
00:33:37,000 --> 00:33:37,520
Speaker 3: were showing.

592
00:33:37,640 --> 00:33:38,720
Speaker 2: Practically, it was tough.

593
00:33:39,040 --> 00:33:41,560
Speaker 3: And so I'm looking around and there there was Brevin

594
00:33:41,640 --> 00:33:43,520
Speaker 3: wasn't the only one, but there were a few of

595
00:33:43,680 --> 00:33:46,440
Speaker 3: but not many. And so you're out there on a

596
00:33:46,440 --> 00:33:50,920
Speaker 3: T shirt and shorts and and you wore that all

597
00:33:51,000 --> 00:33:52,360
Speaker 3: and you did that again today.

598
00:33:52,560 --> 00:33:55,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, son, it's cold out there. Are you aware of that?

599
00:33:56,320 --> 00:34:00,320
Speaker 6: Yeah, But you guys don't understand. Here's where I'm coming from.

600
00:34:00,800 --> 00:34:05,720
Speaker 6: I'm coming from. Forty degrees is a is a very

601
00:34:05,760 --> 00:34:10,160
Speaker 6: mild winter day in Minnesota. Forty degrees is what we

602
00:34:10,239 --> 00:34:14,439
Speaker 6: have in like the end of September. So by this time,

603
00:34:14,680 --> 00:34:16,920
Speaker 6: like in Minnesota right now, it's a it's a snowstorm

604
00:34:17,000 --> 00:34:19,640
Speaker 6: up there, So that's definitely what I'm used to. And

605
00:34:19,680 --> 00:34:21,200
Speaker 6: then in college, we had a kind of a no

606
00:34:21,360 --> 00:34:23,480
Speaker 6: sleeves rule in our tight end room, so you can't

607
00:34:23,480 --> 00:34:26,160
Speaker 6: really wear sleeves, and I've kind of just adapted to that.

608
00:34:26,200 --> 00:34:29,400
Speaker 6: I don't like wearing sleeves, and I don't like wearing pants.

609
00:34:29,440 --> 00:34:32,080
Speaker 6: I don't really like leggings or anything like that.

610
00:34:32,200 --> 00:34:35,239
Speaker 2: Well, thank you for wearing pants appropriate.

611
00:34:36,480 --> 00:34:38,479
Speaker 3: Like you know, Bud Grant when he was the coach

612
00:34:38,520 --> 00:34:41,759
Speaker 3: of the Vikings when they before they had domes, he

613
00:34:41,800 --> 00:34:44,279
Speaker 3: wouldn't let his players wear long slee he thought it

614
00:34:44,400 --> 00:34:45,799
Speaker 3: intimidated the other team.

615
00:34:46,080 --> 00:34:46,520
Speaker 5: It does.

616
00:34:46,719 --> 00:34:48,279
Speaker 6: And I would say there was a couple of games

617
00:34:48,280 --> 00:34:51,239
Speaker 6: in college where it was cold, and I won't name

618
00:34:51,280 --> 00:34:54,840
Speaker 6: any teams that we played, but anymore, there are a

619
00:34:54,840 --> 00:34:56,759
Speaker 6: couple of teams Like when you get like teams like

620
00:34:57,000 --> 00:35:00,840
Speaker 6: let's say in the Big ten word, let's say like Maryland,

621
00:35:01,200 --> 00:35:02,680
Speaker 6: there's not a lot of guys that have played in

622
00:35:02,840 --> 00:35:05,440
Speaker 6: cold weather games. So when they come to Minnesota in

623
00:35:05,480 --> 00:35:08,399
Speaker 6: the you know, late parts of the season, you can

624
00:35:08,440 --> 00:35:09,120
Speaker 6: tell just in.

625
00:35:09,080 --> 00:35:12,319
Speaker 5: The warm up, like like they're really cold, like they

626
00:35:12,320 --> 00:35:13,200
Speaker 5: do not want to play.

627
00:35:13,719 --> 00:35:18,239
Speaker 6: And no, it's it's definitely something that Northerners use it

628
00:35:18,400 --> 00:35:22,120
Speaker 6: say it's an advantage, but I think down south Southerners

629
00:35:22,200 --> 00:35:23,719
Speaker 6: they use the heat as an advantage.

630
00:35:23,760 --> 00:35:25,440
Speaker 4: So what's the coldest that you played in.

00:42:27,280 --> 00:42:30,600
Speaker 6: was a very physical player until my later years of

790
00:42:30,640 --> 00:42:31,160
Speaker 6: high school.

791
00:42:32,000 --> 00:42:34,840
Speaker 5: I was always big. I was always like pretty big.

792
00:42:35,320 --> 00:42:38,760
Speaker 6: But I would definitely say like, throughout my my journey,

793
00:42:38,760 --> 00:42:41,279
Speaker 6: I've definitely grown to enjoy the physicality of it.

794
00:42:42,239 --> 00:42:44,240
Speaker 3: You know, we got to just take our last break

795

Speaker 3: I want to hear Brevan talk about special teams, because

797
00:42:49,920 --> 00:42:52,840
Speaker 3: if you don't pay attention to what he's doing in

798
00:42:52,920 --> 00:42:55,760
Speaker 3: the kicking game, then you're missing something if you really

Speaker 3: is hyphenated to honor each of your parents.

810
00:46:33,080 --> 00:46:34,120
Speaker 5: Is that correct correct?

811
00:46:35,120 --> 00:46:37,920
Speaker 2: And your brother did the same thing. Yeah, yep, okay,

812
00:46:38,040 --> 00:46:39,800
Speaker 2: so go ahead tell us the story if you'd like to.

813
00:46:39,960 --> 00:46:44,160
Speaker 6: Yeah, my parents separated after I was born and they

814
00:46:44,160 --> 00:46:46,640
Speaker 6: didn't want to decide on one name, so made it

815
00:46:46,640 --> 00:46:49,200
Speaker 6: into both and it sounded good, so they kept it

816
00:46:49,280 --> 00:46:51,840
Speaker 6: as that. And your dad was an athlete, yep, my

817
00:46:51,920 --> 00:46:54,640
Speaker 6: dad played college basketball at Saint Claude State University.

818
00:46:56,000 --> 00:46:57,120
Speaker 2: Special teams.

819
00:46:59,680 --> 00:47:01,520
Speaker 3: You you told me the other day you did not

820
00:47:01,680 --> 00:47:03,759
Speaker 3: play much special teams at Minnesota?

821
00:47:03,840 --> 00:47:04,400
Speaker 2: Is that correct?

822
00:47:04,760 --> 00:47:07,560
Speaker 5: Yeah? No, little to none really, only just feel go wing.

823
00:47:08,320 --> 00:47:10,800
Speaker 2: And what do you do on special teams?

824
00:47:10,880 --> 00:47:15,440
Speaker 5: Now? On kickoff? I'm on kick return and.

825
00:47:15,600 --> 00:47:19,279
Speaker 2: Punt and did you do all of those last year?

826
00:47:19,960 --> 00:47:23,160
Speaker 5: No? I I wrapped. I wrapped all those last year.

827
00:47:23,560 --> 00:47:24,759
Speaker 5: I was like a backup on some.

828
00:47:26,480 --> 00:47:28,239
Speaker 6: I think I got to a couple of reps up

829
00:47:28,239 --> 00:47:30,840
Speaker 6: punt throughout the season, and then I really was primarily

830
00:47:30,920 --> 00:47:32,160
Speaker 6: on kickoff return last year.

831
00:47:32,840 --> 00:47:35,200
Speaker 2: So I think I have this right.

832
00:47:35,320 --> 00:47:38,520
Speaker 3: You. You tied for the team lead in special teams

833
00:47:38,560 --> 00:47:41,000
Speaker 3: tackles last week, and you're fairly high up on the

834
00:47:41,640 --> 00:47:43,120
Speaker 3: on the season ranking, so you're.

835
00:47:43,000 --> 00:47:46,239
Speaker 2: Not Yeah, yeah, that's not what you were raised to do.

836
00:47:46,719 --> 00:47:49,879
Speaker 5: Yeah, and uh no, it's it's kind of been something

837
00:47:49,960 --> 00:47:52,919
Speaker 5: that's been found this year. Really.

838
00:47:54,200 --> 00:47:57,240
Speaker 6: You know, we had a coordinator last year, coach Bones

839
00:47:57,239 --> 00:48:01,600
Speaker 6: who left, but coach Sorenson now, they both have been super,

840
00:48:01,960 --> 00:48:05,759
Speaker 6: super helpful in my development special teams, just being open

841
00:48:05,840 --> 00:48:07,640
Speaker 6: with me and being able to always go to their

842
00:48:07,680 --> 00:48:11,040
Speaker 6: office and ask questions and and learn the game because

843
00:48:11,480 --> 00:48:14,080
Speaker 6: I learned the game in college, but I just wasn't

844
00:48:14,520 --> 00:48:16,160
Speaker 6: really used as a special teams.

845
00:48:15,920 --> 00:48:16,680
Speaker 2: Or what do you like?

846
00:48:17,560 --> 00:48:21,200
Speaker 6: I love kickoff because it's just run and hit, Just

847
00:48:21,360 --> 00:48:24,759
Speaker 6: run and avoid and hit. That's that's it's kind of

848
00:48:24,800 --> 00:48:27,760
Speaker 6: my game right now on offense too, So just continue

849
00:48:27,840 --> 00:48:31,040
Speaker 6: to just play, play hard and get to the football.

850
00:48:31,239 --> 00:48:34,799
Speaker 7: When did you feel comfortable in playing special teams because

851
00:48:34,800 --> 00:48:36,520
Speaker 7: obviously that's the way you get on the field with

852
00:48:36,840 --> 00:48:39,319
Speaker 7: you know your position. So when did you actually start

853
00:48:39,360 --> 00:48:41,160
Speaker 7: feeling comfortable playing special teams?

854
00:48:42,000 --> 00:48:44,320
Speaker 6: I think it's still just kind of a process that

855
00:48:44,360 --> 00:48:47,560
Speaker 6: I'm still going through. This is my first true year

856
00:48:47,640 --> 00:48:52,040
Speaker 6: of playing all these special teams units, so just continuing

857
00:48:52,040 --> 00:48:54,719
Speaker 6: to learn the nuances. We have a lot of guys

858
00:48:54,760 --> 00:48:57,640
Speaker 6: who are are really good with that stuff, Guys like CJ,

859
00:48:58,239 --> 00:49:02,440
Speaker 6: guys like Bell, they're great special teams guys, and there

860
00:49:02,480 --> 00:49:04,800
Speaker 6: are a lot of help. You know, being able to

861
00:49:04,840 --> 00:49:08,480
Speaker 6: bounce ideas and stuff off for CJS has been amazing

862
00:49:08,560 --> 00:49:11,439
Speaker 6: for me this year. And you know, it's always banter

863
00:49:11,560 --> 00:49:14,080
Speaker 6: in the special teams meetings too, so it's it's it's

864
00:49:14,080 --> 00:49:14,560
Speaker 6: a lot of fun.

865
00:49:15,560 --> 00:49:19,359
Speaker 3: Are you Elijah's Elijah Clark's play was on a kickoff, right.

866
00:49:20,800 --> 00:49:23,000
Speaker 2: On a punt? So are you on the you're on

867
00:49:23,120 --> 00:49:24,319
Speaker 2: the punt coverage team?

868
00:49:24,960 --> 00:49:27,359
Speaker 6: And where how close to him are you at least

869
00:49:27,400 --> 00:49:30,560
Speaker 6: when So he's he's a gunner, so he's outside and

870
00:49:30,800 --> 00:49:34,800
Speaker 6: I'm a guard. So his play, I dove at the

871
00:49:34,880 --> 00:49:38,560
Speaker 6: returner's legs like right before he hit him. So I

872
00:49:38,640 --> 00:49:40,839
Speaker 6: didn't make the tackle, but I just heard him hit

873
00:49:41,280 --> 00:49:43,000
Speaker 6: hit the guy and turned the ball was out.

874
00:49:43,040 --> 00:49:44,920
Speaker 5: I was like, I don't even know what just happened.

875
00:49:45,560 --> 00:49:47,399
Speaker 5: But no, that was an insane play.

876
00:49:47,520 --> 00:49:48,279
Speaker 2: So what I'm sorry?

877
00:49:49,680 --> 00:49:52,080
Speaker 4: How many times did they replay that? In the special

878
00:49:52,160 --> 00:49:52,680
Speaker 4: team meeting?

879
00:49:53,440 --> 00:49:55,120
Speaker 6: We played it a couple of times because it's like,

880
00:49:55,960 --> 00:49:58,040
Speaker 6: that's that's epitome of a football play.

881
00:49:58,200 --> 00:50:01,560
Speaker 5: It's epitome of football, and in one play that is football.

882
00:50:01,600 --> 00:50:03,600
Speaker 5: You know you're gonna get knocked down, You're gonna have

883
00:50:03,640 --> 00:50:06,479
Speaker 5: some type of adversity. All that matters is how you finish.

884
00:50:08,560 --> 00:50:11,759
Speaker 2: What when you go ask Nick or c J.

885
00:50:11,920 --> 00:50:14,200
Speaker 3: Goodwin, who was here with us earlier this year, one

886
00:50:14,280 --> 00:50:18,720
Speaker 3: another one of my favorites. So smart understands the game, captain,

887
00:50:19,640 --> 00:50:22,120
Speaker 3: What do you what things do you ask them to

888
00:50:22,280 --> 00:50:24,479
Speaker 3: try to learn more and get better?

889
00:50:24,760 --> 00:50:27,880
Speaker 6: Yeah, definitely if it's not about you know, just like

890
00:50:28,280 --> 00:50:31,800
Speaker 6: things he's learned throughout his career, it's definitely about scheme.

891
00:50:33,080 --> 00:50:35,920
Speaker 6: It's really just a communication. No different than you know,

892
00:50:36,080 --> 00:50:39,759
Speaker 6: you're working with the offense. Just a CJ. If I

893
00:50:39,880 --> 00:50:42,120
Speaker 6: go here on this play, just play off for me.

894
00:50:42,120 --> 00:50:43,960
Speaker 6: Blah blah blah things like that. Just being able to

895
00:50:44,040 --> 00:50:47,279
Speaker 6: have that open communication and coach Sorenson giving us the

896
00:50:47,320 --> 00:50:50,600
Speaker 6: freedom to do that. That's what that's that's what's been

897
00:50:50,680 --> 00:50:52,359
Speaker 6: helping us on special teams a lot this year.

898
00:50:53,080 --> 00:50:56,480
Speaker 3: Did it surprise you that there was as much technical

899
00:50:56,719 --> 00:50:59,839
Speaker 3: scheme stuff on special teams as there is a lot

900
00:50:59,840 --> 00:51:02,480
Speaker 3: of people think everybody just lines up and run down

901
00:51:02,520 --> 00:51:03,279
Speaker 3: and catch the guy.

902
00:51:03,480 --> 00:51:07,080
Speaker 6: Yeah, I mean a little bit. Our coordinator in college

903
00:51:07,200 --> 00:51:11,279
Speaker 6: was was pretty scheme oriented as well. I would say

904
00:51:11,320 --> 00:51:14,160
Speaker 6: he's arguably more scheme oriented than what we're doing in

905
00:51:14,239 --> 00:51:17,200
Speaker 6: the in in the league because we had a lot

906
00:51:17,280 --> 00:51:19,800
Speaker 6: we had a lot of stuff on our plate in college.

907
00:51:19,920 --> 00:51:24,440
Speaker 6: But great coordinator, love him to death. And Sorenson and

908
00:51:24,840 --> 00:51:27,200
Speaker 6: Bones have done a great job too of, you know,

909
00:51:27,640 --> 00:51:31,120
Speaker 6: kind of instilling the technique aspect of things. Uh, They're

910
00:51:31,160 --> 00:51:34,520
Speaker 6: both great with the techniques and hammering the details of

911
00:51:34,600 --> 00:51:35,160
Speaker 6: special team.

912
00:51:35,520 --> 00:51:37,240
Speaker 2: Question. We have a question from the audience.

913
00:51:38,239 --> 00:51:40,480
Speaker 9: Well, I'm hoping Brad will give me two opportunities since

914
00:51:40,480 --> 00:51:43,200
Speaker 9: I'm the only one up here. Our first question is

915
00:51:43,280 --> 00:51:46,239
Speaker 9: that you mentioned in the first segment that Dak signed

916
00:51:46,280 --> 00:51:49,919
Speaker 9: your football had occur to you that maybe you would

917
00:51:50,000 --> 00:51:53,040
Speaker 9: have every player that was on that field during your

918
00:51:53,160 --> 00:51:54,640
Speaker 9: touchdown sign it as well.

919
00:51:55,040 --> 00:51:58,239
Speaker 6: That would be cool, honestly, because I thought about, you know,

920
00:51:58,440 --> 00:52:00,799
Speaker 6: just getting like the maybe like the old or something

921
00:52:00,840 --> 00:52:02,879
Speaker 6: like that. And I was really gonna get Javonte too

922
00:52:02,960 --> 00:52:05,239
Speaker 6: because he had a really big block on the play.

923
00:52:06,520 --> 00:52:08,520
Speaker 5: So maybe maybe I will maybe I should do that.

924
00:52:09,080 --> 00:52:09,759
Speaker 5: I like that idea.

925
00:52:09,880 --> 00:52:11,520
Speaker 2: Why did Joe Milton want to sign it?

926
00:52:11,960 --> 00:52:14,640
Speaker 6: No, Joe wrote on it for me really bad penmanship,

927
00:52:15,480 --> 00:52:17,080
Speaker 6: and I was like, does anyone got good handwriting?

928
00:52:17,440 --> 00:52:19,160
Speaker 5: And then Joe was like I got good handwriting? And

929
00:52:19,200 --> 00:52:21,160
Speaker 5: I was like for real and he was like yeah.

930
00:52:21,280 --> 00:52:22,680
Speaker 6: I was like, all right, I trust And then he

931
00:52:22,760 --> 00:52:24,640
Speaker 6: wrote he had he had to write the little first

932
00:52:24,680 --> 00:52:25,440
Speaker 6: career touchdown.

933
00:52:25,680 --> 00:52:28,440
Speaker 5: Okay, all right, well shout Joe.

934
00:52:28,520 --> 00:52:30,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, absolutely, he loved Joe.

935
00:52:31,520 --> 00:52:36,200
Speaker 9: My second My second question is now for me, I

936
00:52:36,280 --> 00:52:40,560
Speaker 9: need to be clarified on the symbol that every player

937
00:52:40,600 --> 00:52:43,160
Speaker 9: when they make it first down, they have their ways

938
00:52:43,239 --> 00:52:45,279
Speaker 9: of designating Zeke CD.

939
00:52:46,840 --> 00:52:48,800
Speaker 2: Now George Pickens, what is this?

940
00:52:50,440 --> 00:52:52,760
Speaker 5: That's just that's just George being George.

941
00:52:54,239 --> 00:52:58,080
Speaker 6: He's been a tremendous talent on the field, but I

942
00:52:58,200 --> 00:53:00,839
Speaker 6: mean even even even when he's on the field. He's

943
00:53:00,920 --> 00:53:03,960
Speaker 6: been double that as a teammate since he's joined this team.

944
00:53:05,000 --> 00:53:07,239
Speaker 6: He's uh man, I mean, he's been a blessing to.

945
00:53:07,239 --> 00:53:07,839
Speaker 2: Our locker room.

946
00:53:08,120 --> 00:53:11,799
Speaker 6: Brings the energy every day, works his tail off, fun

947

Speaker 6: to be around. No is friendly with every single person

948
00:53:15,080 --> 00:53:18,799
Speaker 6: in the building. So I love GP. Everyone on our

00:53:18,840 --> 00:53:22,800
Speaker 6: team loves GP. And uh No, this that little celebration

950
00:53:22,960 --> 00:53:25,800
Speaker 6: that that just comes to the little it's all natural.

951
00:53:25,960 --> 00:53:27,799
Speaker 4: It gaves I can't you can't see me, you can't

952
00:53:27,800 --> 00:53:28,279
Speaker 4: see me coming.

953
00:53:28,400 --> 00:53:30,879
Speaker 5: Nothing he does is stage. Everything is natural.

954
00:53:31,040 --> 00:53:33,400
Speaker 2: Is that like the Angel Reese Taitlin Clark thing a

955
00:53:33,440 --> 00:53:34,120
Speaker 2: couple of years ago?

956
00:53:34,560 --> 00:53:37,080
Speaker 4: Yeah, a little bit, maybe his version.

957
00:53:38,239 --> 00:53:39,719
Speaker 2: Are you impressed that I knew about them?

958
00:53:39,760 --> 00:53:40,840
Speaker 4: That's that?

959
00:53:41,840 --> 00:53:45,359
Speaker 2: Yeah? Right, thank you, thank you, appreciate you, my guy.

960
00:53:45,520 --> 00:53:49,920
Speaker 3: Okay, so let's let's pick up on what you and

961
00:53:50,000 --> 00:53:51,800
Speaker 3: Nicole were talking about a few minutes ago when I

962
00:53:51,880 --> 00:53:56,560
Speaker 3: was looking up the weather. It's that you're playing like

963
00:53:56,600 --> 00:54:00,800
Speaker 3: a different team, and I think the biggest part of

964
00:54:00,840 --> 00:54:03,480
Speaker 3: it is that you've got literally half a new defense.

965
00:54:04,000 --> 00:54:07,160
Speaker 2: It's six players come in for the Las Vegas game.

966
00:54:07,360 --> 00:54:08,040
Speaker 2: I don't want to.

967
00:54:08,080 --> 00:54:13,480
Speaker 3: Discount the extent to which uh Marshawn naland is still

968
00:54:13,640 --> 00:54:16,440
Speaker 3: very much in your heads and hearts and carrying you.

969
00:54:16,520 --> 00:54:19,120
Speaker 2: But you're playing like a different team. So this I

970
00:54:19,239 --> 00:54:20,640
Speaker 2: understand you told us before.

971
00:54:20,960 --> 00:54:23,359
Speaker 3: Nobody panicked or worried when you lost some games early,

972
00:54:23,680 --> 00:54:25,480
Speaker 3: But this doesn't feel like the same team, doesn't.

973
00:54:25,719 --> 00:54:27,960
Speaker 5: No, Yeah, definitely, and it's and it's truly is not.

974
00:54:28,920 --> 00:54:31,960
Speaker 6: And you talking about Marshawn is is kind of the

975
00:54:32,040 --> 00:54:34,759
Speaker 6: main reason that we're not, you know, and that and

976
00:54:34,840 --> 00:54:36,719
Speaker 6: that can be used as a as a positive thing.

977
00:54:37,040 --> 00:54:39,920
Speaker 6: Uh using that platform to continue to support his family

978
00:54:40,480 --> 00:54:43,400
Speaker 6: and be there for one another and understand that, you know,

979
00:54:43,960 --> 00:54:46,560
Speaker 6: Marshawn impacted all of us being able to step in

980
00:54:46,640 --> 00:54:49,800
Speaker 6: that building every single day. You know, it makes you

981
00:54:49,880 --> 00:54:51,840
Speaker 6: understand that you can't take it for granted because you

982
00:54:52,160 --> 00:54:55,439
Speaker 6: you just never know. Just you got to just stay

983
00:54:55,520 --> 00:54:57,680
Speaker 6: the course and and and keep and keep being there

984
00:54:57,719 --> 00:55:00,719
Speaker 6: for one another. That's that's what Shotty's been telling from

985
00:55:00,840 --> 00:55:02,880
Speaker 6: from day one. Just be there and love your teammates.

986
00:55:03,600 --> 00:55:07,000
Speaker 7: How much have you enjoyed just the brotherhood that you

987
00:55:07,080 --> 00:55:10,120
Speaker 7: know you guys have formed. I mean, obviously you guys

988
00:55:10,160 --> 00:55:13,000
Speaker 7: were close before, but you know, losing a brother kind

989
00:55:13,000 --> 00:55:15,360
Speaker 7: of makes that bond a little bit stronger. So how

990
00:55:15,440 --> 00:55:17,799
Speaker 7: much have you just kind of enjoyed that a little bit.

991
00:55:18,440 --> 00:55:21,959
Speaker 6: It's been great just being able to, you know, open

992
00:55:22,080 --> 00:55:27,080
Speaker 6: up to one another. The level of interaction within the

993
00:55:27,120 --> 00:55:31,640
Speaker 6: building has completely changed, and and that's something that obviously

994
00:55:32,160 --> 00:55:33,520
Speaker 6: you don't want the circumstances.

995
00:55:33,680 --> 00:55:37,120
Speaker 2: The level of interaction in the building has completely changed. Yeah,

996
00:55:37,480 --> 00:55:38,720
Speaker 2: what do you mean by in the building.

997
00:55:38,960 --> 00:55:42,239
Speaker 6: So let's say I walked past Nicole at the the

998
00:55:43,080 --> 00:55:44,959
Speaker 6: trading table and I'm just like, Hey, what's up, Nicoll?
