2:04I think a lot better, like I would say that he's got a lot smarter. Many else write GB. Go ahead and use that with Calvin's intelligence, you know, where he's grown. Specifically, is it the film room? Is it picking up the playbook? Where have you seen that? I would say Calvin has gotten smarter just like his game knowledge, like expecting like a different kind of routes and stuff like that. What did everything start to click for you? Was it in the soft season? When did you feel just comfortable with this? I would say in the spring, I started to get a lot more comfortable in our decent. We said you break up the past yesterday with the spare mine name. I'm sorry if you asked about this earlier, but what is like going up against him to you? It seems like you go ahead. Yeah, I love it. He's tough. I like going against him a lot. He's really good. What have you improved in your game just from that, for example, those one-on-one matchups? This preseason or whatever. You know how a ballie who disgames. So Jeremiah, he forces me to play the ball because if you don't play the ball against him, he'll go get it.

3:07Yeah, yeah. And you Dave's in there. How would you describe this defense now compared to this time a year ago from this standpoint of a confidence factor? You don't mean that you guys feel on the field? How would you describe it? It's different about it, I guess. I'm saying everybody's a lot more smart than this area. Everybody's like, I would just say, I would go just just just just smarter. Yeah, when you look up and late and ran some decided to come back and Caleb down, transfer it in. What did you feel about that? Did it just grow stronger in that one week span, two weeks span? You're still on up saying? I feel like those guys have played at that level. The level those guys have played at? Yeah, I would say that. Like, a down's coming and um, what they say, he was coming back, Zell says, he was coming back. It's just so like, I'm really happy to be the daddy. Thanks man, cool. You can really feel the defenders around you.

4:09Like I said, if you can see three or four people around you can't really do too much. Like I said, there's a lot more space with his offense, a lot more holes in the defense that you're trying to get the playmegers into. I'm excited to be able to work with that. You can't really do it as much in practice, you're not going to get hit, but more preseason and first couple games. I'm excited to see see what that looks like. Can you pick up the sheets, especially? I'm excited, man, like I said, from jump. He's a special, special player. You don't really get that so many players like him that's so quick, so fast, at least speed and ain't the wrong route too. I'm excited to see what he does in the future, but I feel like that's the least they can do for him this year. How do you think you would get in the combo with one another? Let's just speed, man. You can't teach speed at all. Just having us on opposite sides, even playing on both sides. Let's just speed down the field. You can run 15, 20 yard in-breakers out-breakers.

5:10And like I said, you can have to play two safeties most of the time, or you can run the ball, you can get underneath or else. It's going to be a great compliment to the offense, so I'm excited. Chris, you said you hope this new offensive playmegers in the decision to make plays. What about you specifically? What's an area where you think you'll have more opportunity than this year? It's a lot of areas that you can see to look at, to improve my game, but yards out the cases are one I'm looking forward to. Just more opportunities with that, more space. Just to showcase my speed and my ability with the ball. I'm excited to do that this year. I'm not really showcased the first two years, so I'm excited to be with the quick game element of it. Just getting the ball in your hands. Yeah, quick game, play action. More over the middle routes. It's a lot of different things that you can say that this guy's going to help that, but I got said I'm excited.

6:12How would you describe the chemistry between you and Eric? We're getting way better, man. I mean, it was our first year last year, so it was kind of up and down, but that's what it comes with the game of football. We worked a lot this off season, OTA, which was really good, and we got off to a good start these first two days of camp getting extra working, but that's going to come with time. I'm not worried about that at all. We both competitors, we both want to be the best, so we got to do something to be good. What do you kind of notice at the fence? Just like feel on the ground? What do you kind of notice now that it's year two? That gets more natural. What do you mean? So, Eric, are you when you're just about to start your work? What do you kind of notice? It's just like, it's more than that, man. It's NFL, everybody's good, so we just got to know what each other is thinking, prec and that, post-nap, cover cheese, board of balls, won't go. Just rees, what reed I am in the progression, everything goes along with that. Just being on the same page, being, like I said, chemistry is built with time, so just little stuff like that that turns into big things is going to be huge.

7:19You caught one from Spencer Routland at 8-2, what do you heard early impressions from him? It's real talented. That's the first thing I've seen from him. His arm talent is out the charts. He's a real natural feel out there. He's going to be real good. I want to see him in action, but from my first impression, he's going to be a real good player. It's going back to the machine that you've talked about all the different stuff you should do. You think there's still a lot more there for that? Oh yeah. He hasn't really, I think this is the first year of being receiver two or really receiver. In my opinion, we're both receiver one, so I just be able to move around, run real routes. Feel like it's going to be a huge advantage for the same. It's a special player and I can't wait to see him ball. I can't wait to see him get more opportunities. You can see what he can do. My run real routes, he's just like an opportunity to run. Yeah, just getting more, he hasn't really played too many plays in his first two years. He's throwing in there when he's getting the ball or decoy or something like that.

8:26He's actually being involved in the offense, always being in, even on run plays. I feel like he's going to be a huge advantage for him to get a feel for the game and be more natural out there. How is he going to be a receiver like that? The shed kind of think of him as a deep threat label and then so people just think of him as a deep threat. But how hard is it to shed that label or that perception in life? That's what life everybody is trying to label somebody as one thing or two things. I feel like you can showcase. That's not really who you are, you know what I'm saying? As it gets more opportunities as you can see, you can see you can do more and more. That's what anybody on the team. I'm excited, like I said. For his huge opportunity, he's going to get this year. It's going to be a big one for the Saints. Does this scheme ask for more blocking from receivers as everyone else? Oh yeah, for sure. I mean, that's what I told you, too. We both have to block. I know we're not the biggest guys or the strongest, but like I said, we just want to be on the field.

9:30We both got to go block D-Line and block Lyonbackers, but that's what's coming football. So we both got to take that next step in our game. Is that somewhere there's like a payoff? Like you guys know you fly from play action next time? Yeah, it's going to be a huge payoff. Like I said, most of our office is based on play action. All the in-breakers, all the yards at the catch of a play. So we got to go on there block and like I said, take that next step and be able to be great for for our team. Like being here? Oh yeah, so after I feel the weather out here, man, that's what I'm used to not using the war and it's out there trying to catch my breath. It's a great opportunity for us. So you get a chance to see family and friends and also this is their football friend here. Not yet, but they don't come by or something. Appreciate you all enough. Thank you very much. Probe. How much is the benefit you guys throw against those D-D's every day?

10:30And I'm sure not to sack them for that. Yeah. That defense, that's what you do. What is that? It makes sense better all over the field, whether this inside or outside. We got a great second there. We got Jordan, the RGB, so German, so they're getting us better each and every day. We got the best DBs in the country, so I don't think there's going to be a game where we face better DBs than what we got here. Who's your favorite corner to do against? It depends on what type of day you have and stuff like that. If you know you to the boundary, you're going to get hands on from an RGB, so you got to be ready and then they're zoned. He's going to break, so you got to get in and out of your brick with him real fast. Talks more trash than zoned. No, one. You're going to feel one out there. You're going to hear him and you're going to feel them. So he's making play, you're going to feel them. Talks more trash, you were Brandon Dennis. Brandon talks to him more trash, but when you get me started, I could be a hothead. You just got to get me started, that's it. What do you think of the mile under this first game? He's going to be good. He got the wiggle. He can do it all.

11:33He just got here. So it's just a lot being thrown at him and stuff like that. So when he relax, get the ropes up, he's going to be really good. What do you get here as a freshman? I ask hard on the same thing. What's the easiest thing to pick up on right away and what's maybe the most difficult thing for you guys now going to develop? The easiest thing is to pick up on your high five by end and stuff like that. And the hardest thing is not getting in your head. We got great receivers all around. So you have a bad day and another guy having a great day. You just can't get down to yourself and lose confidence. What's the most difficult thing you ever have? What stands out the most people have? JJ's a dude. He goes out, he goes about his business like a dude. He makes the play. You get too happy, you mess up, you don't get too mad about it. He's just going on like next plate mentality. I don't know how hard it talks about it. He can go around the entire field slot. What do you like about your own life? I like UK, you can't really game plan for somebody like that because you go on the slot, you can expect him one thing.

12:33But he's outside, you got to expect another thing. Kojo was just talking to us about his leadership role behind the scenes. How have you seen that? You started specifically about showing Jeremiah kind of the way, but for you or for any of the guys, how has he been a leader in that role? Well, JJ, Kojo has been good. He's been here a long and down. Most of us are very unprepared to Kojo and stuff like that. Whenever we ask Kojo, he's a funny player. I think he probably won the funniest in the room. So when you look at him, you always can get a laugh. He always pick us up whenever we're down. Who are your favorite receivers to watch in Molo G. I like G5. I like Manlignate. I'm a receiver baller right now. I like the Vontale, Justin and Mar. And for people who are, I mean, you're talking like a guy who's ready to like pop off a little bit here. What are people going to see from Carnival to the end of 2020? They go to the V-Play Ball and talk about trash with it. I have a couple questions. Oh, yeah, definitely. What's your best advice for the Chicago?

13:34Yeah, it's Chicago. I got a claim for it. I just went to school down there. What's your best advice to Jeremiah at this point? Carnival. I'll tell him, play ball. Keep your head up. Keep your head up. Keep your head up. I chained up and played ball. You're going higher up. You're going higher down. But it's life. You know, now that you still care and you still want to be a part of this, you know, just watch and practice. There's a couple of little things we're doing different. Whether I'm communicating with Dumbar or other people, you know. So here. That you're also talking with him. And you give him pointers during the off season. Just a constant communication. How do you see him grow as a person, you know, in part of how he's a person. How he's approaching things and how he's getting ready for this season. Where is his rookie? You know, I think the thing with Keanu is he's more comfortable, you know. It's not his first time around the track. You know, it's actually like he can, you know, catch his feet under him. You know, I always think when you're in a rookie season, you're going from bowl game.

14:34I don't even know Wisconsin playing a bowl game. Sorry, Wisconsin. I don't even know. But, you know, personally, I just think when you go from bowl game to training, for the combine, to, you know, rookie minicamps, OTAs, the, you know, many can't, I mean, the training camp, the regular season. You really don't get a time to really catch yourself. You know, you understand some playbook now. You can be more vocal. You know, I think with my absence, the other guys absence, you know, you need guys like that to step up and be ready for those opportunities. So they're the same you have during the season. What was your first time? Just tightened down everything. You know, my left side, because I was over-compensating a little bit. But, you know, it was, it wasn't anything that lingers. You know, I'll say this, a groin's not like an ACL. It's not like anything's ever going to get affected again. You know, you know, feeling good, able to do everything, squat and heavy, with power and speed.

15:35So, you know, it feels good to get after a gun. You think of what the team was able to accomplish, it's not easy in terms of bringing guys like Russ and you think they're at least. You know, I think they're all good acquisitions, but, you know, you never want to be known as a paper champ. So, you can't win the off season. I think the work gets done out here on the field. It's done in the classroom. It gets done training. You know, and then you see where you're at in training camp. And then you build on that. You know, I think we got the right guys in the building. It's just about putting a completely month to. Can't have technicalism to separate the business part of the game in the actual football club. Oh, you know, you always want to, you always have to treat it like a business because, you know, one day it's going to end. And that's a good job. It's not like in college where, you know, you got four years guarantee. Well, now you don't even know what that I am. I don't know what to scrap.

16:35And we'll transfer portal portal. But, you know, you have to, I still have love for this game. And I still work my tail off. And I still put everything into it. And that's not going to change. But you have to know what you bring to the team and what you value. Can't be only to be able to be out there with your teammates today emotionally. Great. You know, we got a new training staff. I'm still learning the warm up. A little different. But, you know, I loved it. You know, just getting after it. Learning new guys. Going through the same drills I've been doing by myself. I actually like having more people around because like, kind of go stir crazy when it's just you and another guy. You're like, damn, I got to go back up for another rep already. And so, you know, it's nice to be up here and get a chance to be with my guys now. Can we confident if you will get down with your emotion? Oh.

17:35I'm going to try to remain pretty neutral because, you know, I don't want to be too either way. All I know is I want to be here. But we'll see what happens. It's my last year here. I've had a great career here, but I look forward to playing. What that second surgery you said at this time was on the left side and the first time around on the right side? Right side during the season, left side. And that was just tightening down my core muscle. It wasn't the same as my ad doctor. You know, you can ask Dr. Bradley, Dr. Zuckerbron, who did the surgery as well. You know, if anything's going to help me and make me a lot stronger from here on up. Can you say you were training with another guy who have you had been working with? I've been training with him for the last eight years. We've always trained together. We've got a trainer up north, Shyall Cole Haley, who's my guy.

18:36He trained a Heath Miller, Brett Kiesel, a multitude of guys that I'll respect. And we've just been getting after him. Can we do a very cute guy historically, 35, big contract, who that held against you? I think there's not a lot of history behind it. But, you know, for me, I look as, I'm not looking to be like anybody else. You know, my game is different from everybody else, and this league. You know, I like to think, you know, I can play the run in the past. And that's where I'm different. You know, I remember last year, Mike T, just brought to my attention. You know, the thing that's really cool is you watch powerlifters. And, you know, my game's built on power and technique. And I think that's where I was going to the 40s. And so, you know, that's what kind of research I'm doing behind the scenes. But, you know, we'll see what happens. There's not a lot of history, but I'm here to make history.

19:36And I'm here to, you know, win another super wall of air. And, you know, have a great season. Do you have a set goal for yourself on how many years you want to play in the NFL? Or do you just take things here right here? It was tough answering that question right after the season. I will say this, guys, I can't keep answering that question right after the season. That is not fair to the season that's not fair to my family. You know, but in my mind, I got three years. And I want to maximize them. I want to play at a high level. And I want to go deep into playoffs. And, you know, we got a good team. And I'm going to do my part to be ready for all those situations. You've played on practice in the New York court to the church, or is it possible that you might fold in and, of course, the issues? I have not even thought that far. I've taken a day. Okay. You know, I told my agent, and we talked about it. We were cool coming out here. You know, I'll be here for many. And then I'll be there for training.

20:37You know, I don't know what the work entails, but when we get there, we'll cross that bridge. Why would a job for you to work? You guys have three or less. You know, it was a conversation between me, Omar, and Mike T. And there's certain guys that are one-homah guys. You know, and I want to be one of those one-homah guys. And, you know, there's a hunger and desire there. But that doesn't mean just hanging it up and calling a career. To me, I think, you know, I got more bullets to fire. And, you know, I'm excited to do that. What's the newbie? Last one. Can you and Russell Wilson are going to be out there with Walter Man? What's Walter Payton Man of the Year patch? I saw Russ as, I'm social media. But I have been at the chance to see it. I like the surprise happens when it happens. But, you know, it's cool to have another Walter Payton Man of the Year winner. You know, I think it's an honor to be there.

21:40And I'll say one thing. I won't be here. I'm just telling you guys so it's not a big deal. I won't be here because I have to do a Walter Payton Man of the Year thing on Thursday. So, it's not like I'm skipping. Sorry. But... This is Dave Roberts. If you're heading into summer without a medical emergency kit, you're taking a risk most people don't think about until it's too late.

Doing great work and the cool thing is as much as we get honored and nominated for these things, the work doesn't stop.

24:44I can see that with Russ' foundation. We had an event for our foundation and my mom was quick to tell Russ, hey we need the partners somehow. I was like, mom, let's just enjoy the event. It's really cool to be a part of a league group. Alright, thank you. Chris, next season, trying to push for a job. Is that like a confidence booster for you? I mean, I'll say it was a confidence booster. One reason I say that because you get like good coaches who believe in you and like they give you the tools to go out there and just play with confidence. You know that they're doubting your stuff. Like you got your teammates who got your back like my first play when I got a third to the seat. Like when DeZel, IGB and Jermaine, like first thing they say is like, no worry, just go out there and play with confidence. You know the tools, there's usual tools, just go out there and make a play. And we're about to play company, you know, we're just show time, show job, you just do it. And then like, the same goes for you. He gives me, he puts me in a position like like the drills we put in, the work you put in, the 101, so just go out there and just perform at the highest level.

25:45How much better are you right now than maybe last month and of course, for the right person? I mean, I got way better just because I've transitioned a little bit to the inside. Nick was far so I'm like, now I'm actually trying to like catch, catch, take me again. It's often covers not, it's not always press at the line. So it's like not maybe to like move my feet, move my hands. See like what I got to do just like just in case I got to go back in corner, I can, I plan off now. I'm very confident out there. Do you think that Nick was a natural fit for you or have you had to kind of convince yourself to transition around? I mean, I feel like it's natural for me because I feel like me individually I'm a fast learner. A fast learner, like coaches help us like learn fast and like, because they're always on this about the techniques and stuff. So you like, you write down like you pick up all the things and then like when we get out here they coach us to like the techniques always go out there and play like fast spot and just be like, I would like reverse until you're able to go out there and just compete. Is that where you kind of stuck the spring or you've been kind of out there? So I've really been stuck there this spring a little bit, but like whenever we get us like other things, I just bounce out there every once in a while.

26:51Just like have fun, see if I still got it every once in a while. So it's as good as go out there to compete at most spots. You mentioned the technique, what technique tips and things that you had to pick up and learn from what you're from. I mean, this is why I always say, hey, because what preaches the ass, feet, hands, like see it, you see it, move your feet and then get your hands on the mat. So it's like, when you get like, when you out there, you able to like process like the way the receiver comes off the ball, looking at the hips and seeing like the way he moves. Are you able to pick up like the row concepts you can get out of that like so it's being like undercooked balls for me. Like as a player and just like him breaking out football to you like one on one. It's like very beneficial. What was the hardest part of making that transition from outside inside? I really say like the corner you got your cover two, cover three, you got your cover one. It's easy, but then when you got nickel, not so many responsibilities you got to see like the row concepts, you got to be able to process like diagnosed, roused faster than what you got to do in a corner and just be able to like everything's quick like a transition, you got to like, you got to move fast, you got to learn to move fast.

27:59It's like game recognition where you think maybe you've run the balls since you got to, since you got to run the balls. I would definitely say, I would definitely say yes because how you get to like college is a little bit different. I just love the different high school. We don't got to worry about things like that when I want you to get to college and school like this. Like your recognition of plays and like you know your jobs the way like the coverage is supposed to be played. I understand all your teammates are supposed to be having a feel. It's like it's easy. What have you heard about it? It's a very talented, very talented, very good. He's a humble guy, great teammate, very supportive. He's like God actually went around because you can feed off your energy because you can see like when you make a play. He's like, he's like IDB, he's like IDB 2.0 so he's like, when you get out there with God, like that would get energy. It makes you play a little bit harder and it's like when you make a play, it's out there and it's helping you. It's being out there with him, he's a good, very good player. One of those guys, first question, ten full kids, I would say obviously over the last few years,

28:59I'll be here for you now. What is it about Flunville? I guess he's ready to play at a hot spot. That's a big question, I know. It's a big question. It's a big question, I know. It's a big question. I know. It's a big question, I know. That's a big question. It's a big question. It's a big question. I know. It's a big question. Because we have so many kids come out of Glibu and just play at Leeds. I lead like Lee schools and they like like tracks a big part of it, because I mean like to actually in a Glibu everybody got a run track. Like it's made it through like you don't really get a choice. You're able to just like get out here and like know how to compete and then like G like G and Bill's that mental toughness into you. So I was like, have you like, I heard now you got to be mentally tough because I mean life. Life's not going to be easy. So it's like being out here, being able to compete and when you down just pick yourself back up. I mean that's what G is down to me and that's what G is down to me. Beginning like he played a quarterback in high school too. And he hasn't made a transition to receiver at here in Ohio State. And this is helped me. It's going to be rough at first, but he has to push me to get me to where I need to be. When you think back and just like you're upbringing, you know coming from you know Africa being over here.

30:02Just what do you how did all you feel call of that kind of helped mold you into who you are now? Yeah, I play definitely maybe like tough and like not afraid of like new change. And he's like willing to just adapt to my environment. What was it like for you coming in here as a freshman and getting to see his team go win an after all championship? Most first few weeks here. Definitely was a high motivated, you know. It wasn't really my team though. So like I really get it. So that makes like push me like that once when it's my turn. I got put in the word I want to be the same position but with a ring on my finger. What did you learn from those guys just about what you need to do to have a chance to go accomplish what they did? So you just got to know what the past affects you right and just you know you have a relentless you have a relentless you have put it to work. It's not easy at all by any means and it's got to be hard but you have to do everything it's. What do you view as like the best attributes of your game that you're going to bring to this team? I would just say my size, my speed I can take the top off the defense and I can play tough and physical.

31:11It's about that. It's the last year and like when you think back to the other board this year, I don't have the potential to accomplish it. What has the last kind of year been like for you as you've been back on front? The player that was kind of calling me the process too. It ain't even hard to say it's what they can transition into. So I was this last year. I was definitely changing like because I was always on my sophomore year. I was hurt and my junior year I got hurt during track. So I was able to like I was a high schooler and this time last year my recruitment really picked up. And it's been crazy like must have another like he was just leaving me in my corner my coach is everything. I just give it the motivation to go. What is your relationship with like the table you guys? Three work with everything. That's a big good before I even got a hosting offer and before I even knew we was exactly actually through with a couple of times in both.

32:15Bella Lott, from Trotte. Yeah I was working with I do as head coach and anybody that come in run routes and I actually ran routes for a table in the fight. If we was exactly headed like two. We first came to New York. We had a lot more up. We got got together. Us, the freshman class and the school is working on everything. You definitely got nice on. This quarterback of the year is having a great time. How has that kind of helped you a lot in your freshman year? The quarterback? Yeah, yeah. Yeah, they definitely childhooded it. And said, as I always say, I just hope you're dying. And they make it hard for you. When you play this high level competition practice, you go on a game, you're like, it's the closest easier than the practice. And he's really spills on stuff. Is there been a moment of question? I was just thinking about it all the time. Oh wow. This is difficult. This is something that I guess I can walk from. I guess there have been kind of like a moment first.

33:17I realized. Oh wow, these guys are really good at this. Yeah, just like, I just first, like, on high school, I would just take some like reps and every season we just go. Yeah, I just had past speed, had catchable abilities, like face separation. And I come to college and go, everybody's fast, everybody's big. So you have fun new ways to get open. It's really good for yourself to hire your IQ. And like, like, Coach Warren, I said, though, you got to be new. You are not. Yeah, you can just have a beam. Yeah, definitely. That's for season. When did you feel like you've blossomed last year? Or they could truly count on you and stuff? I mean, you remember how they came along? I think it started in like fall camp just flashed in there. I had to like the first games, weren't around. I was hotline. I said. I don't know what it was like with my concentration. I'm just being great. I like it. I like it's personality. I like the more feel.

34:17And that's important. Yeah. And the life backwards. Is there any difference in responsibility or a new system? Or is it going to be in so hard as it can? Oh. We just learn it right now. We just work it out. We just work it right now. We just learn how to say. What do you think about CJ Hicks and what he can do in his defense? I think CJ Hicks said what he can do in his defense? Or just what he can do this season. You can do this season. I think CJ will pop up this season for sure. I think this definitely going to be one of his years for sure. Got to. What do you think is the biggest difference between French and French and Snapchat and English? To me, it's no difference. They both coach you and they both like they hard on you, but they want you to be great. So I'm thinking of differences. We're talking about how, please, we're looking at what you guys can do in fitting. Do you think Judges want to be trying to plug into a guy?

35:23No, I don't think so. I think Sonny is a great leader. He fires me before anything. Sonny is a great leader. I feel like he's like a voice. He can be thinking of Sonny as just a kid. I'm worried about the whole team to understand. Sonny definitely is a great leader before anything. I'm not sure if Sonny is not a great leader, not just for all of that. I'm not sure if Sonny is a great leader, not just for all of that. I'm not sure if Sonny is a great leader. How does that show itself? Obviously, locally. You know, in the performance. What is... There's something that you need to wrap up. On the whole field or when it's leadership? Whatever. Like I said, he's just a great leader. Like you said, it shows up on the field too. And he's... It's hard to follow up to a guy who says something don't own and like... They're not on their stuff. So, it's only one of those guys who... He's on his stuff, so when he leaves everybody listen. Because obviously it's been a long string of linebackers success of a high-risk state.

36:25Say it again. We've been a long string of linebackers success at a high-risk state. And I mean, look at, you know, guy like Sonny taking that next step this year. How motivated are you to be part of that linear to be one of the great linebackers to play at a high-risk state? No, I'm ready for it. I mean, that's what I'm here for. I mean, I just know how to work. That's all I have to do. Just give it effort and just going east out of it. You? I want to say this with full respect. When we see JJ and Sonny, it's like, that makes sense. When you're the third guy, were you surprised to be named? What puts you in that same category? Yeah, I was a little surprised. I kind of have a feeling because I kind of like... I mean, I kind of could have guessed it. But I just knew that I was one of my goal to talk to him behind a bug guy. And I just put in the work that it was another thing. So what did you get in that was... What did you mean? How did you take that? It was really special right after I texted my parents. And they really knew what it meant until the video came out and the question they could explain it to.

37:26So then I have to wait until they... They had to... Back then, it was playing a full-time, right? And games? Did you just tell the difficulties of going back and forth? Not just like we were learning that we actually had to play both of those five games. Yeah, it's pretty difficult. Especially dirt and game, you have to put the whole mind around. It's not easier in practice because it's getting settled down. But like, going back to my game. It's pretty hard, but like in high school, I was... It was every other play I was in back in school with the triple option. So like I knew it, I was comfortable with it. And sometimes I just take it, but when I'm walking to the reminds of reminds of reminds of reminds of... I had like, say it to be the say of playing handwritten. And then one more time, so getting to the tip of my head. You bring in two tactics and then put your hands in the brain, and it's kind of fun to write your own. You bring in three options, that's what you're talking about. That's what I'm telling you. You're trying to get in the middle of it. Also, it also comes from a couple of different types of rules. Yeah, so like I got to set the example.

38:26And then like, the first two weeks here, I was like teaching them like... I don't know what they're expecting these plays, because I was in this new place with them. And even their defense, like technique two. I keep saying technique, but just helping them out. Because we need to learn both of this. Which is like, would the idea of playing tackle kind of come about to... About like Rath, the season middle, the first political game, what would you think would win it, How did everybody come about? It came close to springtime, they wanted to have a good fight out there and they don't play the best so they can choose. What do you want to do after the hot summer? They're awesome, they're great, a lot of eyes, it's awesome because everyone's watching something, it's not like someone's only watching this place, so you know what's going on. I've got to feedback to get after the play, after the practice, it's really all three off world. It's awesome, they tell you everything because they know what's the last I had with Coach Johnson, Coach Dickies, watching Levin and Coach O'Neill and feels a lot from right,

39:29so you know what's going on, it's great. How was the experience that you got at the big reps in the big games, all that helped you coming into the sauce? It really boosted my confidence and I can lead the young guys too, because I know what's going on because they really don't really miss this first time in spring, so I like to do them a lot. My stuff is just that leadership of them. Resetility has also been mentioned a lot in three long both sides of the ball playing in different spots, you can elaborate on that. Yeah, this... Yeah, I can beat that question one more time. Can you just talk about the versatility that Coach Jason taught me a lot about that on both sides of the ball? Can you guys in different spots be able to win? Yeah, so like, you all see it in last year, we lost two starters, all maybe starters, so like, really guys need to stepped up and like, going to season, I didn't know I was playing a start left guard, and I didn't really know I was going to beat bounce over the right, and what Adani knew is I'm bounce out to tackle, so it really helps everyone.

40:29I think a lot of guys this season are playing multiple positions and it's going to help us in football. What have you learned from Adani and John? Sat in all, sat. Just like technique wise, they really helped me like, pretty snap stuff, and no one was like, what's going to go as you got it, so I can play some stuff. Thank you. Thank you. How do you manage your own expectations when you have 14 pressures, but you're not putting in the sack numbers that you'd like to get? I think just staying the course and continuing to get better, which I think I've done. Hopefully that day comes where the stats come, but I think I affected the game a good amount last week, so that's good for the team. Nick, I'm sure you're in a Super Bowl, there are plenty of players you think about, and Dan, the fun way, here we done better there. But what it comes to, the fifth and the ninth, and the ninth is running all over time. Is that one particularly, what's worth one?

41:31So it's not a guarantee you're going to stop them, but is that one particularly? Is that one really good? It's like the hold the ball. It's difficult to get over. Yeah, no, that's tough, especially because we have calls that could negate that, and we just didn't really, like they ran in the zone read a few times, and we just didn't find an answer to it. But yeah, I mean, I definitely thought he was going to hold it or keep it, but I got to do my job, especially in a big moment like that. You can't go out of your job. But we definitely have a plan for the zone read this time, so I can say it's 2020. You're glad that that is your job, right? That was, yeah. Okay, but then you, like, make player kind of like, yeah. Did a shrug, but not a solid, but a short. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. And even the pins at what should have happened. I mean, there's a couple of variables.

42:32I think the tight end came across, so that changes some things to the guys behind me. So I honestly don't know who it is, but I just tried to make it decisive for the guys. The ideas. It's a lot from that through just watching, in terms of how you try to attack from this time around, from your experience. Yeah, yeah. I mean, like any game that you played a team before, you watched tape and learned from it. Does this, does this offensive line, mentors, they get kind of less, I guess, less in trouble for holding, or is it just, depending on the kind of thing? Last year, for sure. Last year, they had two of the top, kind of, penalized guys in the league. But it doesn't look too bad this year, but we'll see. Are there more crews, are there, are there, referring crews that kind of let it go more than others? I mean, it seems different every week, so let's see. Do you count your steps throughout the day? Is that why you use a scooter? Ah, that's kind of how it started. I don't count them, but I just take a little off the legs.

43:35Why not? It's a lot of walking from building to building. They've always been a team, having worked with your saw back, having to break things around. Good morale boost. Yeah, it's good to have them, and I'm excited to watch them play. We've seen history and change, and we've just done the game. What's it been like to go back and be looking at them on three out of there? And what kind of two? I'd say. It's definitely a little emotional, but at this point, it's just a game, so we're just looking at the tape, trying to learn from it. A lot of similarities from last year. Two new guys, but really good defense and offense that obviously has 15 back there. Hi, this is Dave Roberts. Heading into summer without a medical emergency kit, that's a risk.

Do you try to tap into those emotions or do you kind of want to just put the distractions to the side and treat it like another football game? Yeah, the latter. Oh.

46:35Oh. Man, I try to prepare liking. I like that from, you know, he prepared when he prepared he had tension. So that's definitely something I try to do like him better. Like you said, I'm, I'm, I'm leaving. So, but when it comes to preparing and being intentional with studying and how I prepare for practice, it definitely took that to me. Now, I'll code you leave. I'll tell you different type of never personally. Big sheets of film. Then when you go to the other other rooms, I don't know. What's that come from? Just being honest, like, you can't be one of those guys when they ask you what happened to you. Try to lie and you get in the film and it's obviously obviously lying here. So it's the other thing. Now, how, how much you got to be what is it that you don't know or something? Yeah, I can't live the last time that happened. So that's a good thing. I don't know. Those big sheets of film and Cody know from a leadership standpoint.

47:36What, what is he taking out the door with it? You know, maybe our mail. Somebody got a fill in that slot. Yes, sir. I think it's definitely some big sheet of film. This Cody was a great player, great leader. He's like with the quarterback, they're defense. It's definitely some big sheet of film. Yeah. And like, uh, Coach Lauren, I said though, you got to be who you are. Yeah. I can't just, I can't just be him, but definitely that's the sheet of film. When did you feel like you blossomed last year or they could truly count on you and stuff? I mean, you remember how you counted? I came along. I think it started in like fall camp, just flashed in there. I had to like the first games weren't around. I was hotline. I said, I've almost been great. I like it. I like it's personality. I like a month field. And that's, that's important. So. And the life. What is there any differences responsibility is or use in this system? Or is it going to be in the so far as it kind of same? Oh.

48:36We just, we just learn it right now. We just work it out. We just work it right now. We just learn it. We just learn it. What do you think about CJ Higgs and what he can do in this defense? Um, think CJ Higgs, you said what he can do in his defense? Or just what he can do this season, you know? We can do this season. Uh, I think CJ will pop up this season for sure. I think this definitely going to be one of his, his year for sure. Got to. What do you think is the biggest difference between French and North Georgia and the British? Um, to me is, it's no different. They both, they both coach you and they both, like, they hard on you, but they want you to be great. So I'm, I'm thinking of a difference. We're talking about how, please, we're looking at what you guys can do in fitting in. You think you're doing more, so you're trying to plug into it. No, I don't think so. What's the result of the coach's view about the sun? Either on or off the air or something.

49:37Um, think sunny and great year. First before anything sunny and great year. Feel like he like the voice. He can be thinking something sunny and just, can't worry about for the whole team to understand. So sunny, definitely great year before anything. I'm not sure if that night is something to me or not just for why that person. I'm not sure if you put it in the deep end. How does that show itself? Is it obviously local? You know, in the comments. Yes, sir. What is, is there something that you need to wrap up? On, into my whole field or when it's leadership? Whatever. Like I said, he's just, just a great leader like you, you're a vocal guy. And like you said, it shows up on the field too. So, it's hard to, to follow up to a guy who says something don't own, and like, they not own their stuff. So sunny one of those guys who, he's own his stuff. So when he lead everybody listen, because obviously it's been long string of linebackers success of a higher state. Say it again. You've been a long string of linebackers success at Ohio State. Now you look at, you know, got like sunny taking that next step this year.

50:38I'm motivated. Are you going to be part of that linear to be one of the great linebackers to play at a higher state? Oh, I'm ready for it. I mean, that's what I'm here for. I think to talk about early in the week, I'm trying to balance that, but we're not getting too high on your emotion. How does that motivation for you show up on an idea that basically is? It's more preparation, more film. How does that look like for you? Yes, just really an edge in everything you do. I feel like, and you know, carrying that, that kind of pissed off mentality. I mean, obviously not letting it affect you in a negative way, but, you know, making it, you know, reminds you, hey, like, I'm going to go the extra inch here. I'm going to, you know, see if I can find something extra on film, late at night, or I'm going to, you know, go over this, you know, shoot again, call a place one more time. Like, all these little things that, you know, I just, you know, we just can't let that, what happened last time happened again. We were earlier this week, and I was talking about how, you know, playing back here football, you tend to be playing in the Rose Bowl, you know, you grew up in Big Ten Country. What does it mean to take part in this game? What does it mean to you, to kind of grow them up?

51:38It's a ton, man. It's, it's crazy that, you know, that God has blessed me and put me in this position to, to be here, and be the quarterback in the Rose Bowl. You know, a game that I grew up watching every single year, some unbelievable games that I've watched in the Rose Bowl, some classics, and just to be a part of it is a blessing. And I think we're all, we're all humbled to be here, and we're all understanding of how, unbelievable this opportunity is, and we're not taking it lightly, because, you know, again, it's a business trip. And, you know, the only thing that we're looking at is, you know, we win this game, and we want to play in the top of it, so, you know, it's really exciting. It's, you know, crazy that we're here, and that we're a part of this, but, you know, can't let it be too big, and just, you know, gotta go out there, play football, and do that. I think, so, I think, you know, you go back and watch the film, and, you know, I just didn't, you know, and I'm, I'm, I'm, kind of critical of myself,

52:38and I think we all are here, you know, but, I just look at it, and I don't think anyone, this year beat us. You know, I think we beat ourselves every time. And, you know, you watch, and, you know, we had to turn over, you know, in our own 20-yard line, and they got the kick, you know, it's two possession, it's the first half, and then, obviously, the way the game ended, like, and we're still one point away. And that's what, what hurts, and it was, you know, a hostile environment in their place, you know, I'm just, I'm just thankful that, you know, I said this, I said this the other day, but I'm just thankful that we get through the opposite. Do you feel like, look at back to two weeks ago, you're in Tennessee, you feel like there's a confidence about this, there may be one there, you know, the two of us show that, you know, you put it all together. Yeah. What is your sense of the team? From that aspect, as it feels moving, different. Yeah, I think, you know, a game like that, you know, in Cills Conference, you guys, because it shows us, we were capable of, but, you can't beat complacency,

53:38and it can never be, comfortability, it has to be confidence, and drive, and that's what it has to, it urge us to be like, man, we can do this. When we played our best, and it was anyone in the country that could hang with us, but, we have to be on our game, we have to make sure that, we can't let anything go, we're going to, a lot of people pick this last one up. A lot of people, we're back in Nashville, I feel like we did a lot of the most and most often, we said, we've been out of children. What do you mean, what is the most often, what is the most often? I just, you know, at the end of the day, I just want to keep the, keep the ball moving down the field, you know, getting in a rhythm, I think it's going to be big for us, and I think we did a really good job with that in the Tennessee game. We're weathering the storm a little bit early, and there are a couple of early calls that we got to fail to sound in that game, and kept this going, but regardless, we kept the drive going. And for me, keeping us on schedule, taking care of the ball, and making sure that, we convert on third down in our situation, we get, you know, we do all that, all that stuff, obviously for me, and I want to be these guys,

54:38drive the machine, because, you know, we got, when we're on our stuff, I mean, we're, we're on our stop, so, we just got to make sure that we finish our preparation, right? These, these last few days, and go out there and put our best reward, and thank you for all the thank you guys. You come out this way. I'm talking about this, you know, just recently, talking about how, what I want to do for the longest, I want to bring that home energy, the April, right? So last year, of course, I'm sure you're doing for years, but, the year, when I spent my own, he brought a lot of energy, excitement, happiness in the room, which is his natural energy, to where I only had to focus on, you know, I didn't have to make sure other, other guys were, you know, feels the type of way when it came in here, because hump brought that. You know, the hump's not here, but I saw when you did for a room I want to be that guy to make sure I was an ampoule practice. Everybody's,

55:38we're taking a field team on period, you know, it's a low day, there's something, you know, it's a, but like, I want to make it feel like, you know, it's a good thing. But like, I want to make it feel like, you know, it's a good thing. I want to bring that, because that's what me and hump did to each other, we would hide each other, we would do it, too. It's probably a walk, we're lit. So I want to do that. I want to bring that energy and more guys, you know, should do that. You know, I want to do that from day one, you know. It's kind of that. I want to do that from day one, talking to them, and obviously it's that time I spend, obviously it's a before-autogate started, just being in myself just thinking about what the room needs, you know, because I know I, renewal as one of leaders, you know, what I want to do is, is that we need a guy like that, just going to make sure the O-line is picked up, we're ready to go every day, those held accountable little things are having to practice

56:38and people are saying anything, and how I believe, maybe different than somebody else may believe, you know, like, that practice, at least like, of being a positivity, you know, I mean so. But, he, the energy, yeah, would be on just, oh, I'd be on, so I was calm. I was going on, literally my whole life, I felt, team captain, like specifically, and I felt I wasn't a captain in high school, wasn't a captain in college, but I want to make a joke, I was in high school, so I feel like I'm not going to be a captain like he's been, I felt. But that would be awesome, you know, but, you know, it happens, it'd be great, but not either way, I want to assume a role as a captain from the perspective of guys, onto the visual world, and get back to that point. Yeah, I mean, I can't say that, I mean, I guess, the biggest thing is that, I felt like it has felt,

57:39like how it used to be in the past, but it didn't take just the first day, LTAs, it took, training, left and right, once this season ended, because I know what was going to be the truth. So, we had to get grips, just to get back to feeling, like myself, for a day LTAs, and then that whole first week, but now like today specifically, just changing some small things with my feet that it fits in, talking about the long-coach, passing things that could do my feet, to get to that, to sell my traditional panorama that I love to sit on, I thought I felt, I've thought I felt great already, I felt much better, sorry, to more excited tomorrow and get on my feet back, like how I like the right side and on the left side. So, I'm excited. I mean, obviously I feel like, in the league, whether I left the right, you're still going against Premier Guy. So obviously, the high expectations for the left and the high tackle. But there's definitely, like the level of energy

58:41and the expectation definitely taken a human step because now, can I apply side? That's the, that's the tackle role, you know? So, so yeah, I would say in terms of communication as far as just even outside of the facility, and stuff like that, like really creating that but in tackle court, but even more off the field, I think has been something that's even been cool. I got the text one day, and I said, hey, I keep going left. I was like, you know, yeah, I've been training both. I've been training both, you know? I asked after the season, they're like, honestly, you know, we'll talk to you some season, and I just got a text one, telling what happens with the free agency. Then, so I was like, you know what? I had an old season right tackle. So, if I get the word, I'm going, I'm standing right tackle. I'll just do what I did before I'm built on that. But I was like, I might as well as training a left tackle now. As if we're going to be left tackle. And I'd rather do that than training on right tackle

59:42because of the color, hey, it's a left tackle. How did I switch my feet? You know what I mean? So, I'm like, let me just prepare an advance. I'll just go. You know? I think occasionally, on third down, there'll be a lot of twists. I was just not like, it's a automatic, it's a car. And I think that was my mindset for like the first half of the season. Like, I didn't have to go into the game with some props. Like, oh my gosh, they did that. I kind of figured, okay, like, this is the type of rush. And I get like, this is how this guy usually rushes. If I get the vibe, this is how the ends like the rush, you know, tackles that first year guys, you got the premier patch on. I already know what it was going to be. I already know what the every stunt. And honestly, just knowing that's kind of an advantage to, so you're not, you're not, oh, the problem twists on my side again. It was never air-com, but, well, they come up and I was like, three plays in a row. Two minutes, I knew that, it was the way I had it. It's so loud. You know what I mean? So, I'm watching more everybody else. And you really, you know, it goes out there, occasionally, on third down, I was like, you know, I was like, are you going to take me?

1:00:45You know what I mean? So, that effect, it's kind of, it's also kind of an advantage in a way. But it's also exciting, like, okay, I'm going to get the hardest to look. You know, those are real, real reps, you know, the things. So, really, I went in the kind of process. And I was like, hey, when I tell me, let me know about, I'm just going to train it. I was training all the way. So, TAs, I guess, if I didn't hear anything about TAs, I came in like, so, you know what I mean? Because just like, I'm cool with training both, continuing. I would have been cool with training both, continually. But I feel like anybody, any position will be like, okay, like, you want as soon as possible to give your feet kind of subtle, and your hips subtle, and your hands, so then, certain kind of that. We would have been hard of it, you weren't both very good to you. No. But, they're definitely, but in terms of the development, they're definitely a lot faster, they're staying on one side.

1:01:49But I think having that week that we had the transition with seasons over, I'm like, it was fun. You know, it would, I'm trying to get up to it, but I'm going to try to get out of that week. Things at a time right now, but when it comes back, I'm going to show them the one house. So, I've got a house that's not too far from, so I told them, I got that house, I could yell outside. DJ. You know what I mean? So, yeah. My mom says, you know, just go out there, my dad just dominated the person I was confronting me. You know, just do what I've been doing for the last two to three weeks, I should say. But, you know, they play men on men, so I'm just ready for the challenge. I mean, feels good. Just say somebody going out there and playing men on men, guess Ohio State receivers is something to crazy.

1:02:50But, you know, we just ready for the challenge. They said they're not changing their gameplay, but we got to go out there and show them the reason why not to play men on men. And then, uh, the reason they now have the month 2016, and something's not going to run right now. Sure, you're going to be the conversation. Yeah. I mean, I don't really, if I be on the cover, I be on the cover. I mean, it's not really a big deal to me. It may definitely be a blessing for sure, just to be on the cover of a game, but, you know, it's not really a dream of mine. It's a dream of mine, but I don't really think too much of it. I mean, no, not yet. Probably hit me after this season. No, just no playing in the Carlos football playoffs as a freshman, or playing in the Rose Bowl as a freshman, playing in a Cardin Bowl, not in the National Championship.

1:03:50I mean, it's a blessing for sure, but it hasn't hit me yet. Sure. I'm putting it right here. How about with your fan mail, fan mail? My favorite catch, I would say. We played Michigan State the one I call over to defenders. Definitely probably my favorite for sure. Or you could go the one from Iowa, as I say, and as a parliament too. I don't, I mean, like you said, it's pretty frustrating me having a game that I had in the Rose Bowl, and they're coming to the Cardin Bowl, you know, just doing different things, changing their scheme up against me. But, I mean, like you said, whatever I could do to make, I mean,

1:04:50help the team win. It's not really a big deal for me. As long as we win, that's all I really care about, and it got us to the National Championship. It means a lot. We put a lot of work in this season. We have highs, we have lows, we have people cutting us out. But we hear now, we just ready to put on a show Monday. Yeah. First of when is National Championship because there means a lot. I mean, you see everything that he's been through this year, people saying he should be fired and this is not the third. But, I mean, you see everything that he's been through this year.

1:05:52I mean, I see everything that he's been through this year. I see everything, people saying about him on Twitter. I wasn't here, he first got the head coach in the job. But I know this year for sure, we definitely got to win this for him. Oh, I mean, it's a lot, a lot of people in the lead, I should say. Hi, this is Dave Roberts.

You can't really say who, but I mean, you had guys like Odele. You had guys like Odele. You got Stefan Dicks. Missed a lot of Michael Thomas Chris Carter. Just a lot of, you know, guys I've been in that field and stuff like that. But yeah, really them guys for sure. Okay. What did they say? No, just keep going. You got it. You've messed up for sure. Really, I really, really that. So they said. Oh, like a physical defense.

1:08:57Like you said, like people say, like they like to play man, they're not changing their skin. So we're just ready for the challenge. Like you said, the best defense we probably go see all year. And we just like be ready to go out there Monday and just put on the show. I'm excited for will him. First coming here in Ohio State January our first workout we had together. So just everything that we did through the season. I mean, I'm just happy for him to be in this position right now, but we got to finish the job. And that's the winning out of you Monday. I mean, it's pretty funny.

1:09:57Them saying that because I'm just only a freshman. I mean, it's a blessing for sure. People even say that, but I got two, three more years left of college. And I'm just focused on college right now. I'm not really worried about the NFL right now. It's very special for me. Just being a freshman and playing the national stage, like a peer for national titles. Something that I dreamed of as a very young kid. I'm just happy to be here and I just can't wait to put on some Monday for you guys. I mean, all of us see us. We'll just sit on the bench and we just see him hit the quarterback the ball. Come on. And we all just got up and just started jumping up and down. We all excited. Happy for jacking that moment. We just knew that that moment like, yeah, this we're going to the 90 for sure.

1:11:18Me. It shows a lot of me going from high school or winning three state championships. I shot my daughter then coming to Ohio State just to peer for national title right now. Me just showed that I've picked two great schools. But I'm happy to be here and I just can't wait to put on some Monday. The coolest person. I mean, you got a lot. I can't really say just a specific person. You got a lot of great guys. We trying to lead like, oh, Dale, you had guys like Stefan Dex. A lot of other players as well. Just can't cut them my mom. But really, really them two guys for sure. Oh, Dale, a step on this. Yeah. I mean, like they say, they play man. So I'm just ready for the challenge and just get ready to go out there Monday. And just no put on the show.

1:12:18Thank you. We're going to go back. The vice genome had gave me. I said just keep golf first. I know the reason why I'm here. I mean, like you said, just keep golf first and just no keeping the main thing and the main thing. And the best corner I'm facing sure. I mean, I've faced a lot of great corners. I can't really say, but yeah, I've faced a great lot of great corners. I can't really put a name on it. I'm just going to give you a three vacationers, uh, turns and kick-outs.

1:13:26Oh, good. Are you? I say both respect and frustration as well. But I mean, I doubt they come out there and trip it to me and they say stick it to whatever door in our year. And that's playing man covers, which is ready for the challenge. Pretty good group Christian Gary 29th, a great corner, 15, Lenard Moore, two great guys, or am I there? Very physical, but you know, we all have to receive it, so we ready for the challenge.

1:14:33I say just no understanding the defense, understanding the game plan, understanding what Coach Kelly was trying to get done. I mean, just coming in, I felt I progressed from our first game against Akron to now. I feel like I better each and every week. I mean, things slowed down a lot for me. But yeah, really just no understanding the differences and no understanding what they're trying to do to me for sure. I'm two guys. Great part of the best we go see all year for sure. Two physical guys. But you know, we're ready. We're ready for the challenge that they're coming with and that's the play man on man. You know, we ready to go on Monday. I mean, the environment is pretty crazy.

1:15:33Seeing all these cameras, something I never thought I'd see in their life, but it's a blessing for sure to be in this position right now. I mean, we just had a prayer, prayer, prayer, prayer meeting and you know, we all, they all, we all discussed the issues because they discussed issues. And you know, which is one of the work. I mean, not two and a half weeks we had off before Tennessee game and we just came out there on Tennessee game and we played with a chip on our shoulder. All throughout the playoffs and we go continue to play with that chip on our shoulder and that's championship on Monday. You know how that very impactful, you got a very impact on my career I should say, you know, just going to his games. I was a very young kid, seven, eight years old, him playing West Virginia and they played Clemson, Orange Bull down at Miami.

1:16:38I mean, just going to just seeing his games. It was like, yeah, I definitely want to play on the stage and I can't wait till I get to know that moment for sure. You are you. Yeah, because they really just in his own, his own love space, he's just walking around trying to get his mind right trying to get his mind ready for the game. But you know, he just get everybody hype in the locker room and you know, just trying to get us ready to go to win the game. Oh, yeah, oh, yeah, for sure. I mean, you go play mangas Ohio State receivers. I mean, just be ready because you know, we definitely go come out there and know. Give our best. I mean, they said not to change what they do. So we're just ready for the challenge.

1:17:47I mean, just seeing this kind of situation felt. Not a year later, definitely sometime my career college, but not my first in college, I should say. I mean, just the better the being is position right now, just a blessing, just a young kid from Miami to be here. I won't take it for granted. I'm ready to go out there and give him my all. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, I was watching that game against was a Georgia. I believe. Yeah. I was in a game. I was pretty sick myself because I was actually committed at that time. So, I mean, yeah, it left a bad taste name off, but I mean, we ready to go out there Monday to redeem myself and just put on show Monday.

1:18:50Yeah. I mean, me. I just laugh. But you know, that's what they do. They're not going to change what they do just because we're high on state. So, you gotta go out there and put it on. Put it on. Why not to play. Man, no, man, it gets us. So we just got to go out there and show them Monday. So. He said again. Sorry. My journey here at Ohio State, prepared me a lot for National Championship. Me just going through everything that I've been through. My first guy here, all the materials, all the hard workouts that we had, all the hard practices. I mean, just preparing all of us for this moment. And I'm just ready to go out there and give it up my all on Monday.

1:19:55Okay. Okay. Yeah. We just squeezed this. One or nine. 200? Me is big and strong. Yeah. Yeah. What's your name? What's your name? Yeah. That's great. Yeah. It's pretty good. No problem.

1:20:58Yeah. Why not part of the most is the one against Michigan State when I caught up with two defenders on their song. Put it out. Or the one after that, I should say, or you go the one against Iowa. Part of them three. Part of my best ones, for sure. Oh, I mean, just will put in the ball in my area. And I just know how to make a play for them. Even though somebody was grabbing my face, I just know I still have to make a play because the ball touched my hand. So, I mean, just in the ball and the other thing, I have to make the play no matter how the ball comes at me. After a big game, I mean, we really, they really feed us Chick-fil-A or Pizza after the game.

1:22:04So it's really either Chick-fil-A or Pizza. So yeah, probably Chick-fil-A for sure. Yeah. It went pretty good. Everybody just speaking with their thing is going right in what they think is wrong. Which is a lot of the older guys, the boys and their opinions on what we need to do to come together as a team. But, you know, that me and Deftly helped us in a big way because it helped us on the field as well because we played at a great football right now. And we just got to cheer that one Monday. Yeah, it definitely got emotional. Can't really say what it really would say because that's not a player's only and coaches only.

1:23:04But it was definitely some stuff said that people took people took and they went with it. And that's the reason we're playing the way we're playing right now. Yeah, make help me a lot this year. Him being our older guy in the room. Me help me and Carl Nell as well. And Brendan and his and all the guys in our city room as well. Me just a great guy as well. Very smart. I mean, make this been a big part of the reason that I'm having this season. I'm having a well because he's been a big. You know, older guy been there, been a lot of great guys in that room. Chris Alive, Gary Wilson, Marvin Harrison Jr. Jackson, Smith and Jim. So he's seen all the grids I've been through there. And me teaching us the right thing and the right way and in the buck out way for sure. I love it. That means they don't know what's coming out of the next. We got 12 personnel. We got 11 personnel. You could throw two of us in the world and you've got to stop it all. What have you made of the quarterback stuff for three of them?

1:24:06Not too much. I feel like they all come in here working. I feel like everybody's making their throws, making their passes and everybody making their directions. Would it you take away from the last season? What did you take away from the last season? You had to take the ball and get it in front of you. Winning this game, that was it. Winning this game, go out there outside of the day, beat the man in front of you, and then came out with a national championship on the bench. The strict laws about improving the physical and the work of this group. I'm hoping I'll ever get down trying to get my game as well around this place, but I'm trying to come out to feel it on. We hear about the leaders and heroes not just for this group, but for the whole team. The group can step up who has started to step up and realize their place. I feel like we've had leaders from last year that came back. I feel like we have new guys that stepped up into their roles and their roles and around the team. They have become leaders. Being a leader, you all always have to be vocal. You can have the same examples on the field. Or you can be vocal and do both.

1:25:07What was it like to have the same body? What was the last couple years? That? I was happy for you. I've seen him out here, and I've seen him last year, and I've been doing an extra work. The ball is ball. We come out here and play ball. He's out here doing a pro day yesterday. I've just seen him ready to go make some real money. What might as do you feel like you're a different player now going into this year, and maybe you were last year? I feel like every year I've just improved on my overall game. Blocking and stretching, consistently. People used that word. But I feel like I'm just overall better. I came in here ready to go. How much does it push you when you're in a room with guys like Max and Will and Bennett that you know you've got to be on your game if you're going to get on the field? I feel like I'm in a sharp eye every day. Come in and work, and they go push me every day to work. It's just like I'm going to do them. I've been playing an actor since before. It's now a crowded room. You got a master's or what do you think of it?

1:26:08I love more, honestly. Max, Max Claire, Max LeBlanc, both of them. I love them. What's...you've been flashed in the time you were? Is this the year where it all come together? I feel like every year with my year, but hey, you want to see this year? I'm ready to come out here and put on a show for the Bucket Nation. I feel like everybody on the field is ready to go put on a show. We're going to go back and back. You got a play quite a bit though last year, Tulane. What did you pick up from all of that, especially in a championship run? They were counting on you. Honestly, just be ready at any time. You can be throwing in at any time. Just like I was. I probably had some rest while I was just throwing in. You've got to get it done. If you don't get it done, they're going to find somebody who has to do it. I think we asked you this every time we get it. You tell me it's a thought to you. We can definitely see what you've progressed as a tight end, the all of that needs. Honestly, not even a year ago.

1:27:08Honestly, over the spring and some of this, I feel like I've told them I've brought a lot and I got stronger in the way we were. I've also got a little bit faster so I can get in and out of the breaks a little bit better. Just the mind part of the game. The middle part of the game. If you got an even better end to it, how would you describe that? I said it here. The mind part of the game. Well, I feel like it's a lot more fun. I say the tight ends, we come in here. Five o'clock every other day, we do a walkthrough, more fun. We're just more students at a game now. We're like that. Thanks, man. I feel like it was just a exciting play. I was the last lead on it. Like the very last lead on it. I don't go out, I can't down with the kiss, so we need to get the first down. You know, it wasn't that bad. You're, but I still had a great rookie year. Six yards of carry, you know, things like that. I think it was like nine touchdowns, ten, including the playoffs.

1:30:14There's always been like, alright, you guys let me show my talent, shine a little bit. Even when I had the knee, so I had the knee, right? A lot of people don't know. I didn't get hurt again whenever I got cleaned up. So I went down in 21, right? Had the injuries, the knee injury. And then came back later the next year. And I played the first few games and I just feel there was a lot of scar tissue in there. So I had to get it cleaned up. I didn't get hurt again. I could have played the whole year, but I got it cleaned up so I can feel like me. And so after I got that cleaned up, the first two games back from the injury, I had over 120 yards rushing. Right? And then went on, had great, great ending of the year. You know, 100 total yards in the play-all game we lost, which I hate the most. It's not going to matter to me, I want to win. But then come back the next year, hurt again, like 20 kills. So two really unfortunate injuries, but that's just a guy's plan. You know, and I think that the storm is now over, you know, and I do think that I'll be able to shine a light to the whole world.

1:31:20Are you concerned that you have that label that you can't stand with me? I could care less because I do, I do, I know this out there. Because as it should be, it should be. I got hurt two major injuries back, not back to back years, but you know. So I haven't been on the field as much as I should. That's true. That is true. But it's not like I'm having these little, little, dinky injuries and sitting out. It's something I can't control literally. So that's why I'm not bothered by it. Like, yeah, I am injury-po, you can say that. You know, but I do think that the charges are getting. The guy that's going to be healthy from now on, you know, God will it. And it's going to be great. And I do think that it's going to be a great however many years here. When you've been on the field, you've been highly productive. Yeah, 5.8 hours with very average, your career. Like knowing that when you're out there, you're very productive. How much confidence does that give you that really all you need is an opportunity?

1:32:20All the confidence in the world, you know, the way I work. I want to say just from the numbers, but just the way I work, my work ethic, you know, and my relationship with Jesus is like, I have the most confidence when I step out there. Because I do know like if he grants me the health is over with is I don't think I'll be, you know, I think it'll be a great year or whatever. Couple years however many years he's dressed me great health, you know, and I think just the work ethic, my prayer and all that stuff, that's what helped me have that confidence. With the numbers will be there and they might be higher after this year, you know, and it's crazy to think about it. I had 6.6 yards per carry, you know, so we'll see. Is it for you to run behind this line? Oh, yeah. Yeah, yeah, I play with Bradley. I play with him, you know, I know Slater, I know all the guys, you know, and I'm excited. I think it's like I said earlier, it's a talented group.

1:33:20You know, we just got put together and win some games because that's what I came before. I wouldn't say a part of the recruitment, but like whenever I decided I was going to sign it was great to have him in the room. Yeah, we're great. We have a great relationship. He's like my brother. I think it accomplished, it complimented each other very well. You know, he can do a lot of stuff too. A lot of people think he's just power power power, but I think he has some other parts of the game too, which it'll be great because I feel like I could do everything and when one gets tired, we can roll it in and keep rolling. When some games. When you, the two of you are going, how do you think this is going to look, the work will be that partnership that is back there? I know. That's a hard question. How do I think it will look beautiful? You know, a lot of people call this a passive league, but I think you got to run the ball to win a Super Bowl.

1:34:22You know, if you look at the team to win a Super Bowl, they can run the ball, they can control the clock. And so if we're both good, it will look great. Beautiful. I would describe it as a great offense. I think he gives a quarter, he's going to give the quarterback a lot of options. He's going to give the running back a lot of options. He's going to give the receiver a lot of options. You know, and I think it'll be, I think it's going to be great. He's often going to be amazing. When we talk to him, you know, I was like, why do you build something good for Russian offenses throughout your career? You're a good player, you're a good player, you're a good player. And you said that one part of it is just, you got to call a place. You got to call a place. As we're running back, you know, how much confidence, how much you say it is to give you, you know, you play collar that's going to stick with it and allow you and the opponent's quantity of to a rhythm of rugby. It gives me a lot of excitement. You know, is he going to be, like I say, his spawn to play is off. You know,

1:35:22Hi, this is Dave Roberts. Heading into summer without a medical emergency kit, that's a risk. Summer colds can linger and getting sick on vacation can derail everything. That's why everyone needs a medical emergency kit. It includes doctor prescribed medications to treat common and serious illnesses. So if you wake up sick, at home or on the road, you already have what you need. It's like having an urgent care and pharmacy at home. Say $45 with code blue at urgent care kit.com slash blue urgent care kit.com slash blue. CalShe's own CEO says it himself. And yes, two thirds of people on CalShe lose money. So what does it take to be in the other third? You have to do extensive amount of research to be good. There are people that spend copious amount of money, time, resources, energy. They've dedicated their lives to basically becoming good at it. All that and still. And yes, two thirds of people on CalShe lose money. That's CalShe in their own CEO's words.

But like you said, he sticks with the run and that's that's the identity. You want to office that has an identity, right? You don't want to be looking everywhere else to find your identity. You want to have it. And so I think his office has that. And the guy he builds and puts in there, it compliments that identity. So I think it's going to be great. You mentioned you're on a percent now, so you mean full go for training?

1:37:22That's the expectation. Look, I ain't going to answer any of the four. If it's up to me? Yes. Look, because I had this problem like three two years, three years ago, I'm thinking I'm full go. I think I'm ready to go anything. Next year, you know, I'm on PUP. Like, hey, look, some stuff is above my prey, pay gray. So, but I don't know. Hopefully I can start. I think I'm ready to start, you know, begin a training camp, but that's not up to me as I've learned. I wouldn't say that. I think I've been in some great organizations and I think this organization is a great organization. And the training staff is great. And so they just want what's best for me, you know, and they're taking care of me, which that's what you want in the organization. And so that's where that comes from, which I appreciate it. Like, I really appreciate that. You know, because I'm a type of guy like I work really hard. So maybe sometime I'm blind to, you know, the danger of something, you know.

1:38:25So I appreciate it, but like I said, if it's up to me, yeah, I'm out there, but never know. Well, any frustration for you during the getting into the agency, you know, dealing with rehab and not, you know, having a full season of paid for production to go out there. Is there any part of that where you're like, I wish I had hit the open market with a different situation. Yeah. I like it. I like how would I say this? I like it the hard way, but not, you know, I like it the hard way. I like it. I like trial and tribulations. So, I mean, the dice that I was given the role was I was coming off a or a kill. And that was that was the Lord's plan. So it was beauty in that like I was comfortable. I was caught like there was multiple teams, you know, I wasn't it wasn't like I didn't have any other team.

1:39:27But I was comfortable and sitting back and just enjoying the process, letting myself get fully healed. So whenever that team whoever I would sign with who now is the Chargers is going to get the best me, you know, and I think people all around the league know that like, okay, this guy, okay, it's a high risk, high reward type thing, right? Not even a high risk, low risk because you it's a business, right? So I got hurt last year. So not as much money and he's be throwing it. But I think everyone around the league knows that whenever I am on the field, the numbers don't lie. And so they know that and a lot of teams were like, are here. You can we give you this, but we want you to be healthy. So when I'm healthy, it's going to be great. The chance that I've been giving here, I'm so grateful and I know that's going to be they won't be they won't regret it. Are you the type of person that likes to do people wrong? Like you've run a couple things like a high risk high reward, injury from, you know, like are you the type of person that really tries to prove people wrong?

1:40:31No. I hear it. I see it. It's pretty cool. Like you'll never see me unless I'm just like in a bad mood. You never see me like, oh, like if I have a great game or a great year, like I have this wonderful year, I ain't going to go back and you're like, yeah, yeah, what happened? No, because I don't care. Like you're eventually see like I'm like, I'm a guy that's really good. So I ain't worry about that, but I'm proving myself right that I am one of the best in the league. So forget all the naysayers and people will talk about being injury prone because whenever I have this great year, it's going to be forgotten. Why get that energy? Talking just into all of our kind of chances. Yeah, I was, you know, we just with him. You know, he's a great guy. I mean, he was in my class. I remember seeing him. We were at an award show because I was a dog walker or a finalist.

1:41:31And I'm like, I've seen him play, but I didn't know he was that tall. Like I didn't know he was like six. So when I first saw him, this was years ago in college. I'm like, and this is me tall. Like, it's cool though. Like I like I never really got to I know a lot of those would be kind of, you know, you know, nerdy. But he's cool, dude. Very laid back. No, we'll face to him. It's just because like the last three years, he's been disappointed in the season. So I feel like we put more work in. I thought that's what we're missing. We're just putting more work in and he's got to do that throughout the summer, the spring fall. And then he's got a show on the field. Tell the guy to test. In a moment, you're a practice. You look at it through all of the defense. And you look at the person L change. We're coming in with sunny woman up in the post-war line of spring. With all the guys in the kitchen coming back. What's your like view of what's out there on defense and how it may be allowed you to do some things.

1:42:32It's kind of just like. I don't want to like high par has so much, but I kind of look like a like a legendary defense kind of. We got playmakers everywhere and then moving sunny down. I think that's a great move for him. He's a big athletic dude. He can play in a box. He can play like safety. I think that's just showing how like versus how he is and Caleb, you know, you see Caleb how he plays. He's animal. He's on the softener, I think. And I feel like the guys we brought back, you know, we all can we're all dominant. So I feel like as a collective unit, we're going to be like unstoppable. So confident is a problem. Well, there's a part of that too. And as I mentioned, they're about facing themselves. If you get there's that much self-believe, then there's also that part of going to build depth. You know, in case you have interest, case of vision. So how do you look at spring in terms of getting guys that are next in line as prepared to keep that standard high? I think you just got to set a great example for the young guys and just showing them how to how to practice how to like watch them, how to take care of their body.

1:43:33Because also the things are going to need to like go on this deep run and think it's like 17 games or something that we're not. We add in games. So the young guys are going to have to play. We can't just play fit the games. The snap. That's not going to happen. So. How do you get to a 70 or 80? He's going to keep working. Kind of keep running. Give me shape. You played so many things. You know, it's kind of surprising to me that you said that you said that. It was a joke, I'm sure. But like, you know, surprising to hear that from you. It's a really healthy snap to play last year. Did that kind of take a toll on your last year? Do you think that you need to push it even further, getting better shapes so you can play all 16, 17 games at the same time? Yeah, definitely. I got to get way better shapes than I've been. And I felt like it was kind of like it was a joke. Of course, I needed those snaps because the years before I wasn't really playing as much. So I just wanted to get like more experience under my belt. So I can bring younger guys with me because I've been through a lot of these.

1:44:35One of those younger guys, we're seeing it out here. It's the first time I've heard all of your last years. What have you seen from Will? Because I kind of felt like last year we all forgot about him because he was hurt. Now he's running almost a second man out behind you and tied. What have you seen you remember those lines? Well, as a workhorse, he's going to stay quiet, he's going to work hard. That's all I love about him. He focuses, he don't really talk much. He's going to get the job done, do a job right. He rarely has any mistakes. What would be a successful scene? A national championship? A ring? When all the games we don't want to lose anything, we got a mindset that we can't beat. We just got to go show it. That mindset is different. It seems like you guys expect a national championship every year. This year, even more so, you guys have all come back for this. You guys have all decided like an opposite lot. Does that feel the difference? Or is there probably any difference? It's just the same work. It's definitely a difference. Everyone working harder. We noticed our last run.

1:45:35Most of us don't have any years after this. So we got to go bigger going home and we're not trying to go home. It's going to finish big. We know what you guys think of Michigan. But when you look at what they did, they won the national championship. And you guys took them down to the final minute. You know what I mean? You were right there. Something goes a little different. You guys could have won that game against them. Does that tell you anything about like that? Hey, you guys won a international championship. But you played to the 59th minute with the team that won the national championship last year. Like you're that close. So I'm saying we just work harder. That's kind of a coach makes a saying. You know, nobody cares. It's just work harder. Like those, you know, one plate Georgia is the same thing. Last, last play. You know, they went on the winning atty. So we just got to get over that hump at the end of the season. I think we'll be fine. How frustrating is that? You're that close against the last two national titles. Of course, it's frustrating. But you can't change the outcome. You can't really dwell on it.

1:46:36You just got to come back and work harder. Do things better than you did last year. And hopefully the outcome will change. Is that as you get older, you kind of learn. I thought I was working harder than you always find out there's a little more. You could have been doing it. Yeah, definitely. I mean, that's how that's what growing up is basically in college. And I thought, fresh me, I was working. It's hard as I could, but now I look back at it. I really wasn't working hard at all compared to what I'm doing now. So just to learn anything. The stamina is a 16. What do you need it to be to be your best? It's like it's a 75. 80, 85. I mean, I can, it's all on me. I think it's a little higher. I was just trying to be funny. But I mean, it's all on me. I just got to run harder in shape. It's been a thing. The idea of a potential is 16 and 17 and 17. How do you decide about that idea? Does it make you nervous about can you ask that more? Do you have worries? I think, I think we, I definitely can last.

1:47:38I was just, you know, we got to get the young guys to come along with us. We can't play 50 snaps a game. There's just too much on our bodies. Just everybody. Like, online, online. We got to get those younger guys to play, you know. Get that pieces on the D-line and online. And everywhere else. So we can last that long. Speaking of that, we're playing in the snap. Did you like playing that new snap again last year? I don't know if any of us were really expected to play that next time. Yeah, I did. Unless we were like winning by like a lot. I thought like, there are no moments you know I can go sit down or something. But we're playing them big games like, you know, Notre Dame, too, or North. Those kind of games. Of course I want to be in because I know I can contribute. And I won't want to put that on anyone else when I know I can get the job done. Well, it stands out about Kaden McDonald. You guys are getting up in the gues of the second year. Oh yeah, definitely. K-Mac is a K-Mac's animal. Y'all, you haven't really seen it yet, but in practice, he shows all the time. He's just, he's growing right now. He has a work ethic. He just has to get, you know, in the playbook, things like that.

1:48:38You guys are about the exact same size. Listen, you're both listening to 6th or your 3.27. He's 3.26. Yeah, he's very old. I kind of look at him like my junior, but you know, K-Mac, he's going to be a great player. He's got to develop more and get into playbook. It's really a lot on you older guy. There's that large group of young guys and then there's these seniors in the back. So part of your cast for this year to bring those guys along as well. Yeah, definitely. We got to be leaders. Like I said, we got to have them play this year. We can't just play all the snaps. They got to get in there and get some work. And we got to get them right during the off season. So they can play. And not just play, they want to like contribute, like make plays, tackle, and sex. Let's stay down. I'll work this first. Thank you. Thank you. It seems like these guys get the figures. Each one of the first in the class, because they're really bigger. Do those guys kind of, it doesn't kind of allow you in the cell? Yeah, they're definitely some big dudes. And they all work hard. I've only seen much of something day two when I'm passing on. But throughout the workouts, they've been working hard. You know, they're determined. I can say that.

1:49:38And it looks like they're ready to work with me. I'm going to score this, though. It feels like there's a lot of great defenses that you have big athletic defense attacks that you can eat up space, but also move, you know, right? Did it's that? Is that from the environment maybe for great defense? To have guys like you that have some faults, but also a great figure. I think that is definitely, I think if you look at the last couple of national championship winners, like team of Northe, you know, they got two bit of detaco, two athletic detacos. You look at Georgia, two athletic detacos. I think that's definitely neat if you want to go on that big run and beat those big teams. If you think about that, they were defined by the defense attack, it was like, what's Georgia, Jordan Davis and Daniel Carter? What's Michigan is? Chris Jenkins. How do you find this running like how? I mean, you understand it because you play it, but I feel like some time, I don't know, are people realizing how important defense attacks are?

1:50:39A little bit more than they used to? I think so. I think they're starting to develop more and more of these like freakiest detacos. In the combine, you see those guys, they're moving, we're in the 478s and things like that. When you think about the freakiest out there, how do you fit into that mold of that kind of player? You watch that and say, yeah, that's me. Definitely, I think I'm top notch when it comes to detacos, but I don't want to get a big head, but I watch the combine. I watch the dude that draws. I have tape tape, you're like, look at my film. I think I'm up there with all those guys. Do you become like a artist or a fancy bandie of glasses? Do you think your legs can be things? When you're going, you're not doing as much a weapon on the left hand. That's strong. How do you work on that? Do you have like a goal in mind? I don't remember how much you've had last year, but you have a goal in mind. How many do you want to have? I mean, as many as I can have, I think I have more than that, but I think they've counted.

1:51:39I think they've counted some of them. And some of them were just listed. But I think we work on drones matching the hand. I think that goes big. What we do is a D line. Just affecting the quarterback is, anyway, you can. It's just great for the defense. That little thing covering his eye, you know, he might throw it. A little bit to the left to our players. So it's something that you really, really have to work on. You can do that with what you do. It's a theory that's one of the things that you've worked on the most. I think you're trying to bring your time here because there are a few guys that I've seen. Like, oh, that pass really takes a good, we don't have to ask for this. We're kind of, kind of, kind of expected for the second. I think I just have like a, like, an eye for the ball comment. I kind of just look at the quarterback and just, I see him like load up. I just try to get in his ways. And sometimes he just throws it to me. I don't know. I'm here to do it to the Ohio State quarterbacks game. I'm here to play a bad dumb pass. I mean, they get frustrated, but you know, we're a team, you know, we're just getting better. Eight time to grow, you know, you don't have to have the, the pig mentality of problem of, of instinct ratification.

1:52:45You know, you can develop and grow. So, and sometimes you may be behind a guy that's a really good player. There's nothing wrong with developing and growing and playing when your time is right. And if the time is right right now, the freshman, like, what's your main? Did you play early, you know? So we try to also sell that, you know, we care about him as people and try to prepare you for life after football. So it's bigger than just football. We're going to prepare you for life, whether it's the NFL or on with a regular career in the workforce. We want you to prepare you as a young man and we try to sell that and preach that to the parents. With the remaining having that, in fact, you mentioned, rolling all these different spots. Do you anticipate, you know, there wasn't a lot of rotation among the cornerbacks last year when everyone was healthy. Do you anticipate maybe growing him through the rough guys here with the longer season potentially? Yeah, we play it by ear. You know what I mean? We see how goals by time we get in the camp, but you know, obviously he's earning his stripes. So, you know what I mean? When you earn your stripes, you know, a lot of jobs to create opportunities for you. You know what I mean? We have to see how it goes with all that other stuff.

1:53:45You know, once we get closer to the season, and we're getting the game plan stuff, but he's doing a great job and he's taking a great step forward. Tim, when there's a way that you can build the room, or the way you kind of just have to show him, now it seems like it's been like the centerpiece of relationships and kind of building bonds. Is that something that you came in with the, like a couple years ago, with the intention of feeling or is it something that you're like, that's kind of been cultivated over the course of your time as a musician? Do you guys feel that? No, it's been there for a while. I've been doing that for a long time. It's all about relationship. If you develop real relationship and you're authentic in your communication, and you have honest feedback, and you have direct teaching, the guys that have value and character and they appreciate that stuff, they'll embrace that. But they have to know you care, and you have to know that it's real, and they have to know that you're really concerned about where it being as a young man. And when you get close to them, it's been a lot of time with them off the field. You could coach them hard. And you can say truthful things to them, and then they embrace it, and you have real conversation because you know the only goal is to help them get better as a young man.

1:54:48As you see, a couple years ago, I think those journalists that go... We've seen through this so far ahead in the corner, we've got a kind of skewed down evaluations. How's that dynamic change in these two years as the scoop's gotten older and you've been better even more counting? Yeah, it's done balanced up a little bit now. That goes with great competition. We go against the best receivers we call it football. So that helps escalate your growth process, because if you don't figure it out real fast, you're getting embarrassed. So that competition, but what happened with that, I guys start competing. I guys start growing. I guys got better, and now it's even up a little bit. So where you get really good work at practice today, you know what I mean? So as competitive, it's fun. Those guys both on both sides of all care about each other. So it's great competition and they all are real close. So you know what I mean? It's that stuff that gets us better that will prepare us for. CalShe's own CEO says it himself. And yes, two thirds of people on CalShe lose money. So what does it take to be in the other third? You have to do extensive amount of research to be good. There are people that spend the most time,

1:55:48they spend the most time, they spend the time, they spend the time, they spend the time, they spend the time, they spend an hour to earn money. There are people that spend the most time to be good atг they spend the most time to be good after all. And yes the third is customizing. If you go back to five pieces or if you simply pick one last piece ... I am wrong. But man among these two people who do work in CalShe, they perform other safes than they do.

I asked Denzel how to do that same idea. First day practice actually the receivers kind of got them. Is that any kind of a big wake up call maybe for this? No, it's just it's going to competitive. Man, they got the best group in the country that you're going to get every day. So you have to bring it every day. You know what I mean? So they they we got a great quarterback room. We got a great receiver room. The running backs are really good. So when you out there going against them is deep. So you have to be ready for it. And obviously man, we see a lot of good stuff with with with stay in coast Kelly doing over there. And so it prepares you a lot and it helps us grow.

1:57:56Yeah, all that's because you know, that's what you get better. Iron shop is iron. So you know, you get to see that every day of practice that helps you grow. It's no better. A thing to go against every day than to see that on a daily basis. We just moving a lot of guys around. We watch that practice. We have a lot of guys in there right now. You know, we probably have three or four different guys in there. Obviously the Renzo's in their germane is in their Caleb miles. We have about four or five guys moving around. Right now we just try things out in spring ball. See what a fit. You know, see what things work together. So it's going to probably be some more guys in there. You know, we move it around to try to just get the right fit throughout the N and C. How it goes by time we get really start to season. He can run any strong. You know, I mean, he's fast. Very serious about his business. He's big. It's 200 pounds. He can run. He's strong. He's conscientious. Now, man, he's starting to grow and he's starting to get better with it. You know, I mean, so we look for big things for him in spring. Keep competing. You know, I mean, now he's made the transition.

1:58:58Competing the day. You know, I mean, start going in that transition is all just like I'm in germane last year. You throw him in the fire. You let him go. You compete. You go by time we get out of the end of training camp. You'll be them figured out. Yeah, I want that. But now you just throw it all at him. Compete. Continue to grow. Continue to learn. He has the skill set. He has to let. Now, you just got to put it all together and it takes time to do that. And hopefully you see that by time we get in the training camp. It seems like with your springing kind of click for germane last year and you start to see perform a little better in practice. Is that like a benchmark for where you want here and to be by the middle of spring? Does he have to be at a certain point where you wanted to start clicking? Yeah, by the time you start getting about two weeks from now, that last week, you know, because it takes time because there's a lot of stuff going on. But, you know, by the time you get into that last week of spring ball, you'll start seeing the things that you look for show up. And then you know, you get another evaluation again. We'll get into training camp. See if this stuff carried on to make sure we go up for our starting in September. What's your assessment of the growth that we've made now that he's kind of got his few under one defense? What do you like about him and that technical spot? He's very conscientious. He's smart.

2:00:02He can run. He's tough. He's made the adjustment because he's out of Europe on his belt. So now you can see he's not making a lot of mistakes. He competes. He's real conscientious. And he has a physical presence. So the growth has been really good and we look to continue that throughout spring. Coach, thanks very much. I can ask one more. All the guys that came back like Denzel, the great example. Would that surprise you as you reflect on all these guys that came back late for the ransom? They could have turned pro. No, the culture here is real. Coach, they does a great job of building the culture. Our room is close knit. The guys on defense are real close. Those guys want to come back. They have an agenda. You know, we want to come back. They want to come back and walk away with something. So it didn't shock me. But it's a good environment for them too. You know what I mean? That's when you see those guys come back. That's a testimony to the culture that's set here. The brotherhood, the environment. And of course, they run the program for those who want to come back because we go at it. It's hard. It's not easy. It's not easy. But what we do. So in fact, they come back and do that as a testament to how he runs the

2:01:04program. Coach, thank you very much. As far as intensity, how would you evaluate your games? Yeah, my goal was just to come out play as hard as I could. It was a little weird last week. For the first time in my career, playing a game that doesn't necessarily mean anything in terms of playoff contention. And I kind of had to check myself. And this week come in with a mindset of every game matters. And we need to put the best product out there that we can. And that's what I try to do. Later now, it was a good push. Or you looked at the look into your work and push up, which you retired. You didn't seem shaken up right after you kind of just talked about put hat. Yes, Sam just tried to get it on it and caught me. It was more of like a stinger type thing. But the ref wanted me to go to the tent. So I had to go answer some questions.

2:02:06How do you come out of your helmet? It was like jammed, yeah, my neck. You're helmet. I know that you've got a sort of a different helmet. How do you? Yeah, maybe when it hits the top like that, it's not as good. But I think these guys 11 months ago kind of crushed their dreams. Do you get the sense they're kind of a different team? Or an also the thing? This was a very important game for them to win? I don't think they're that different. I think they've had a ton of injuries on defense, which hurts them. But the mentality of the head coach, you could see it throughout everybody. It's really a cool team. I could just see from afar that it's probably a fun team to play for. And they come out and they play to win every game. And I respect that. But it's put so much emphasis on the ball, all meetings, takeaways. And I think you've got two since the by-week. Is there any accounting for

2:03:07that? I mean, there's so many different things that go into a turnover or takeaway. How do you rack your brand around that? It goes into every level of the defense. When you have your opportunity, I know we had two against Stafford. That could have made, I mean, if maybe if we get those, it sparks a bunch of other ones. So you just have to make your plays when they're there. And then just being the right spots. And I don't think we've done a great job of that this year. It's good. He's a really good player. Yeah, I wanted to see where I'm at against him. And you ever seen anything like the Jameson Williams touchdown or it's popped back to him and you see something like that? I was in the tent. So I had no idea that happened. Yeah, there was a play in this game when we saw a kind of a misdirection sprinted all the way

2:04:12across the field to make the play. Did you see the play? And I think it was, was it the one Gibbs cut back? Yeah, I had like a 10 yard cushion and he ran by me like I was didn't exist. And I tried to sprint and I was just like, I don't have this. And thankfully, Mustafa is a heat seeking missile and he made the play. I mean, I think we came in with the right mindset as a team. Just myself. It felt a little like dead energy wise. But yeah, it was a learning moment for me to learn and make sure that I come in with the right mindset every single week. It feels like there's a lot of plays where you guys get to the finals, pass breakups,

2:05:15and it'll be like a couple plays in a row. And then there's an explosive about what can you believe in or not about the AP system? Yeah, I mean, we did, we did get them to the second, third and longs. And then yeah, they would make a big play. And you definitely want to capitalize when you back them up like that. We didn't do that tonight and that's why they scored 40 points. I'm sure, yeah, I'm sure. Oh, yeah, for sure. You had guys like Chris Carter, guys like Michael Thomas really, new to guys for sure. I mean, Michael Thomas was talking to me before the game with a Rose Bowl in Chris Carter and after the game as well. I mean, just giving me advice, just telling me,

2:06:18keep going first and just keep doing what I've been doing the whole year. I mean, I'm God's bugger, I legend. So definitely look at them guys for sure. Make sure to spare. That means a lot. Just a kid from Miami, just being able to play an actual championship as a first minute. Something that I dreamed of as a kid and I'm here now and is K-Wathe Poole in the show Monday. He said he did not come. I mean, the Tissue, like he says, may crazy each and every week playing, but you know, can't let it get to my head. I should say, let me just football at the end of the day, but you know, just know how to be in this position.

2:07:24Oh, none of us think we could be covered, man, oh man. I mean, we'll actually talk about this yesterday as well, but you know, I mean, that's what they do. That's what they do. I mean, we just go out there and play our game and know sort of reason why not to play man, oh man. Cool. To. around here with me and

2:08:29doing for the last two to three weeks I should say but you know they play man on man so I'm just ready for the challenge yeah I mean feels good just say somebody going out there and playing man on man against Ohio State receivers is something crazy but you know we just ready for the challenge they say they're not changing their gameplay but we got to go out there and show them the reason why not to play man on man I mean I don't really if I be on the cover I'd be on the cover I mean it's not really a big deal to me I mean it definitely be a blessing for sure just to be on the cover of a game but you know it's not really a dream of mine it's a dream of mine but I don't really think too much of it

2:09:29I mean no not yet probably hit me after this easy no just no playing in the colors football playoffs as a freshman playing the Rose Bowl as a freshman playing a carton bowl not in the national championship I mean it's a blessing for sure but I haven't hit me yet my favorite catch I would say we play Michigan State the one I call over to defenders definitely probably my favorite for sure or you go the one from Iowa I should say and the end so probably then too

2:10:33uh I don't I mean yeah like you said it's pretty frustrating me having the game that I had in the Rose Bowl and they're coming to the carton bowl you know just them doing different things chasing their scheme up for uh it gives me um but I mean like you said whatever I could do to make the I mean hug the team when uh it's not really a big deal for me and long as we win that's all I really care about and it got us to national championship uh it means a lot uh we put a lot of work in this uh this season uh we have highs we have lows we have people cutting us out um but we hear now we just ready to put on a show Monday oh yeah

2:11:33yeah uh first the one is uh national championship because that means a lot um you see everything that he bent through this year people uh saying should be fired and this died on third but uh when you see everything that he bent through this year I mean I seen everything I he bent through this year on see everything people saying my head on Twitter um I wasn't here uh he first got the head coach and job but I know this year for sure we definitely got to win this for him uh I mean it's a lot uh a lot of people in the league I should say I can't really say who but I mean you had guys like oh they're you had guys like uh oh they're you have stepfather digs means a lot of uh my good time is Chris Carter just a lot of you know guys I played in NFL and stuff like that but yeah really them guys for sure

2:12:37no just keep going um you got it you've not stopped for sure uh really I really that for sure yeah uh like a physical defense uh like like you said like people say like they like to play man they not changing their skin so we're just ready for the challenge uh like you said probably the best defense we probably go see all year and we just gotta be ready to go out there in a month then just put on the show uh I'm excited for will uh him uh first coming here in Ohio State January our first workout we had together uh me just everything that we did through the season um me I'm just happy for him to be in this position right now but we got a finesse of job and that's the uh win

2:13:38and now the old Monday uh I mean it's pretty funny um them saying that because I'm I'm just only a freshman but um I mean it's a blessing for sure people to even say that but I got two three more years left of colors and I'm just focused on colors right now I'm not really worried about the NFL right now uh it's very special for me uh just being a freshman at Plenty of National Stage like a peer for national titles something that I dreamed of as a very young kid um I'm just happy to be here and I just can't wait to put on a show Monday for you guys yeah

2:14:39uh me all of us used to sit on the bench and we just see him hit the quarterback the ball come out and we all just got up and just started you know jumping up and down we all decided um happy for jacking that moment and we just knew at that moment like yeah let's we're going to the ad for sure so I'm gonna have a good one of the state championship and I'm gonna have a good time for the next four years and I'm gonna have to meet the higher school and then the national championship. How does that feel to have that one more time and then the next championship? uh me and so there's a lot um me you know going from uh high school uh win a three-state championship uh shamanama donna then you know coming to higher state uh just competing for national charter right now me just so that I've picked uh two great schools um but I'm happy to be here and I just can't wait to put on a show Monday

2:15:40the coolest person um I mean you got a lot I can't really say just a specific person you got a lot of great guys recharging the lead like um oh damn you have got kalshi's own CEO says it himself and yes two-thirds of people on kalshi lose money so what does it take to be in the other third? you have to do extensive amount of research to be good there are people that spend copious amount of money time resources energy they've dedicated their lives to basically becoming good at it all that and still and yes two-thirds of people on kalshi lose money lose money lose money that's kalshi in their own CEOs words go to www.fairpredicts.com to learn more this is Dave Roberts if you're heading into summer without a medical emergency kit you're taking a risk most people don't think about until it's too late summer coldslinger and can turn into sinus infections at last for weeks getting sick right before vacation can derail everything and we're traveling finding a doctor and pharmacy is stressful that's why I ordered medical emergency kit it's like having an emergency care and a pharmacy right at home it

2:17:51that's like stuff on digs a lot of other places were just kidding my mom but really really them too guys be sure oh dear let's stuff on this you're looking at every day but something like that you got on your mind and trying to attack and try to do you know yeah yeah um I mean like they say they play man so me I'm just ready for the challenge and just get ready to go out there Monday and just no put on the show thank you the vice-general high gave me um I said just keep guard first um you oh he I know the reason why I'm here and man yeah like he said just keep guard first and just no keep the main thing and the best corner I face this year um I mean I face a lot of great corners I can't really say but

2:18:56yeah I face a great daughter great corners can't really put a name on it so trees vacationist uh tercan cake aha I'm good. Are you? I say both respect and frustration as well. But I mean I thought they come out there and try to team me and they say stick it to what they've been doing all year and that's playing man covers which is ready for the challenge.

2:20:00Pretty good group Christian Gary 29 is a great corner 15 Lennon Moore two great guys are right there. Very physical but you know we all highest they receive us so we ready for the challenge. I say just no understanding the defense understanding the game plan understand what coach Kelly is trying to get done. I mean just coming in I feel I progress from our first game gets accrued to now. I feel like I better each and every week. Me being slowed down a lot for me. But yeah really just no understanding the versus and no understanding what they're trying to do to me for sure.

2:21:06I'm two guys great part of the best we go see all year for sure. Two physical guys but you know we're ready we're ready for the challenge that they're coming with and that's the play man on man and you know we ready to go on Monday. Yeah I mean environment is pretty crazy seeing all these cameras. Something I never thought I'd see them alive but some blessings from sure this the main is position right now. And we just had a prayer prayer led meeting and you know we all they all the we all discussed the issues because they discuss issues and you know which is one of the work. I mean not two and a half weeks we had off before Tennessee game and we just came out there on Tennessee game and we played with a trip on our

2:22:08shoulder all throughout the playoffs and we go continue to play with that trip on our shoulder in that championship on Monday. Do you know how that very impactful. He had a very impact on my career I should say just going to his games as a very young kid seven eight years old him playing Westfield Westwood. And they played Clemson Orange Bull down in Miami. I mean just go there seeing his games. It was like yeah I definitely want to play on that stage and I can't wait till I get to know that moment for sure. I'm sorry. Yeah. Because they really just in his own his own little space he's just walking around trying to get his mind right trying to get his mind ready for the game. But you know he just get everybody hype in the locker room and you know just trying to get us ready to go to win the game.

2:23:14Yeah. Oh yeah. Oh yeah for sure. I mean you go play mangas Ohio State receivers. I mean just be ready because you know we definitely go come out there and know. Give our best. I mean they said not to change what they do so we just ready for the challenge. Yeah. Just kind of what's your. Not a year later. Definitely sometime my career college but not my first college I should say. Just the better the business position right now is you know a blessing or just a young kid from Miami to be here. And I won't take it for granted. I'm ready to go out there Monday and give him a call. Yeah.

2:24:28Yeah. I mean I was watching a game against was a Georgia. I believe yeah. I was in a game. I was pretty sick myself because I was actually committed at that time. So I mean yeah they left a bad chance in the mouth but I mean we ready to go out there Monday to redeem myself and just put a show Monday. I mean me I just laugh. But you know that's what they do they're not going to change what they do just because we're Ohio State so. You got to go out there and put it on. Why not to play man on mangas so we just got to go out there and show them my day. I'm sorry. You said again.

2:25:31My journey here at Ohio State repair me a lot from that your shape of shit. I mean just going through everything that I've been through. My first guy here all the Matt Jules all the hard workouts that we had all the hard practices. I mean just prepare all of us for this moment and I'm just ready to go out there and give it up my all my day. Okay. Okay. Yeah. We just squeezed this. 200 me is big and strong. Yeah. Yeah.

2:26:33What's the money? Yeah that's great. Yeah. It's pretty good. No problem. Yeah. The one I probably like the most is the one against Michigan State when I caught over two defenders on the airsoft line. Party Laughin or the one after that I should say or you go the one against Iowa. Party them three. Party my best ones for sure. I mean just we'll put in a ball in my area and I just know how to make a play for them.

2:27:36Even though somebody was grabbing my face I just know I still have to make a play because the ball touched my hand. So I mean just when the ball and the other thing I have to make the play no matter how the ball comes at me. After a big game I mean we really they really feel as Chick-fil-A or Pizza after the game so it's really either Chick-fil-A or Pizza. So yeah probably Chick-fil-A for sure. Yeah. It went pretty good everybody just speaking with their thing is going right and what they think is wrong. We just a lot of the older guys was in their opinions on what we need to do to come together as a team.

2:28:40But you know that me and Deppley helped us in a big way because it helped us on the field as well because we played our great football right now and we just got to do that one Monday. Yeah Deppley got emotional. Can't really say what really was said because that's not players only and coaches only but it would definitely some stuff said that people took and it went with it and that's the reason we planned it was around with plan right now. Yeah make help me a lot this year. He and I owe the guy in the room. Me help me and Carl Nell as well and Brandon and all the guys in the receiver as well. Me just a great guy as well. Very smart. I mean make just been a big part of the reason I'm having a seat that I'm having to work because he's been a big. You know, old the guy been there, been a lot of great guys in that room like Chris Aliveway, Gary Wilson, Marvin Harrison Jr. Jackson Smith and Jim was so he's seeing all the grids I've been through there and me teaching us the right thing and the right way and in the buck out way for sure.

2:29:48I was along with it's much more like the other. Did you feel upgraded? No, I was really not right. I mean, I mean, I just feel like I had all the offers. I think I mean. I had fucked down like a room work sites. But it doesn't matter. You can hear it. What was it like to make that? You know, I felt good. I mean, I felt like I had a hard work and I do that spring. I got a teaching and coach. You gave me not just paid off. I didn't know this way. I mean, I came here. They give me two deep as a true freshman. I was late to do the job. I was an opportunity to have a bigger role this year. What do you expect about it in your second? You know, I just worked to beat. I mean, obviously, I'll be running whatever with how many savings or whatever. I mean, I'm just working just to beat, you know, work my tail logs and make it roll for my sanction. I can treat this as a goal. I would say like, I got a lot more aggressive and I gave some weight now. I'm pushing 200 pounds now. I'm not against Harvard.

2:31:00Coach Patricia, what have you seen for the day of the time? What has it been like for you? You know, he's a great guy. You know, I like him. He's a great guy. He cares about his players. I was so football wise. He's a master in the behinders. He is my respect. He's football business. You know, in his time, he didn't have a family. So I think he's going to fuck you. Whether it's like the starter or occasional piece of what you expect to see from him, failing the claim and then failing. I respect you, you know, just add value, you know, form a half of his team and just make players. You feel a lot more popular this year. Or you left here this year? Oh, yes, for sure. I feel like I'm starting to use the everything here. I feel like I'm just trying to pull off my new last year. I'm just, you know, I'm not going to say that I'm going to make a worse move. What? I was going to say, you know, mindset at the beginning was spring. I was starting to scratch in a way, not letting too much of the shadow of the national team. I really embraced that mindset and say competitive in that mindset.

2:32:00You know, you know, we have one idea so far. So, you know, we're trying to stay determined. And I know just trying to dominate. And we're not looking at it in the past anymore. It's like it never happened. We're just trying to get a little more. The coach has got to venture their head in the A and B rule. They're going to have a beer rule that we're going to hold in. And get some roots in another position. Obviously, you know, right now, playing in Stony and Freeza, you need to try, you know, craft myself and just, you know, make myself more versatile for the team wherever I go. They get to get some more last part of it. That was bad luck. Limiting his reps. Obviously, he's living in like a playoff coach. So, you know, obviously, we make this, you know, in for him, you need to be ready, you know, line the distance, all this work. You know what I mean? Skipping, skimming. Thank you. Appreciate it. Yeah. I'm sure some of you have a line. So like there's some stuff. At least we didn't, you did over there, an order of names that we'll see if we're able to kind of implement something here. I'm sure some maybe not others, depending on what our guys do best. Probably I was seen to because it's like it's a fresh start new set of eyes on him.

2:33:02And I think it's an opportunity to be multiple and use him. And what he does best, you know, so that's the exciting thing. You know, when you really study what coach Patricia has done in the past. Is he likes to take like who are like who are players? And then let's build it around those nights. And I think CJ has had a helpful winter. I think he's one of those guys. So I'm excited to see how we create a new zone into the spring. Does that mean you see how to be like flow is more of an edge defender? Kind of differently than you guys. I think yeah, I think he has that. I think that's exactly what kind of like protection CJ has. It's the ability to, you know, get on the edge, move around. The nice thing about that is that you're not handicapped just with CJ doing one thing off the edge. You think you have the ability because he understands conceptually zone drops, linebacker terminology, right? You can get really creative about how you use him. But I think he definitely needs to be utilized more as a just go after the heart attack.

2:34:04Go, go be destructive. What about Matt? What about Matt? It's a leader of you guys. This coach is how you are. I see all the fitters and guys and how are you seeing that? And how do you feel about the higher? I love the higher. I had a lot of respect for coach Patricia. I got to work to me at Marcus out back here. And what we were talking about that when he first was in the interview process. It's kind of how fast time goes. But I'm really excited just to continue to learn. Like I said, like there's some, it's funny because there's some terminology that when I was at Notre Dame, you can use. And I can at least speak some of his language with what he's called things before. And you're trying to morph everything together right with these things that we've done. What he knows would do like it's a lot. But he's been incredible with, I think the staff he's very organized. He's detailed.

2:35:04You'll have constant clear communication. You know, I may have, we're going to get together at this time and doing like, you're just efficient in your role. And it's been a lot like when you're come from outside and you come back into it. You have to try to catch them up on the recruiting board. And you know, like, you have a lot of these conversations. Okay, what are we looking for at these positions now? How do you see it? Because you don't under one coordinator. You know, you may have the mic line back and used to be this. And then under this coordinator, well, I think the mic back needs to be this. So you have to have those conversations at every position. And you just kind of keep going through. But I'm just excited to learn. I think the more systems, I mean, look, play the system here in college, play the system. Under Steve Spagnolo, play the system in Tim Walden, play the system under Greg Williams. That is talent. Coach of Galagol and Jim Null. Everyone of those, there's like different terminology for everything. So you're just learning a different language, calling things. You know, I mean, there's concepts.

2:36:05And I think it's kind of collect over time. What you think is really good stuff and how you do stuff a big deal, different. And I'm just really excited to learn from that. And I'm trying to success. He seemed very excited over there talking really to me here. Yeah. Coach of college, which whatever. So long. What's his person? How they like to wait for you guys? Yeah. He's been great. I mean, his energy is incredible. He's very, he is. He's authentically excited to be back in college football. He's been told there. CalShe's own CEO says it himself. And he has two thirds of people on CalShe. Who's money? So what does it take to be in the other third? You have to do extensive amount of research to be good. There are people that spend copious amount of money, time, resources, energy. They've dedicated their lives to basically becoming good at it. All that and still. And yes, two thirds of people on CalShe. Who's money? Who's money? Who's money? That's CalShe in their own CEO's words. Go to www.fairpredicts.com to learn more. This is Dave Roberts. If you're heading into summer without a medical emergency kit,

2:37:07you're taking a risk most people don't think about until it's too late. Summer colds linger and can turn into sinus infections at last for weeks. Getting sick right before vacation can derail everything. And we are traveling, finding a doctor and pharmacy is stressful. That's why I ordered medical emergency kit. It's like having an emergency care and a pharmacy right at home. It includes essential prescriptions like a moxasillin and generic z-pack to treat a wide range of common and serious illnesses. So if you wake up sick, at home or on the road, you already have what you need. No waiting for your doctor, no hours at urgent care, no pharmacy lines, no copays. Just match your symptoms to the right prescription in your guidebook or call their telemedicine doctor standing by. Start on your med sooner and feel better faster. Every home needs at least one medical emergency kit. 40 years online in minutes and it's shipped to your door and say $45 with promo code blue at urgentcaredkit.com slash blue. That's promo code blue at urgentcaredkit.com slash blue. CalShe's own CEO says it himself. And yes, two thirds of people on CalShe lose money.

2:38:09So what does it take to be in the other third? You have to do extensive amount of research to be good. There are people that spend copious amount of money, time, resources, energy. They've dedicated their lives to basically becoming good at it. All that and still. And yes, two thirds of people on CalShe lose money. lose money. lose money. That's CalShe in their own CEO's words. Go to www.fairpredicts.com to learn more. There's like a yearning to get back to like the way you got the coaching right? So the thing is that impact young people is the impact and teach the game of football. And so the future has been a fun, you know, kind of like talking to the guys. You can sense like he's excited to just teach more. You know what I mean? Kind of ironically like you know, similar to a lot of other things that chips that last year. Right? You gotta get back and you're like, man, I'm just excited to. And so if he has that excitement, he's done a phenomenal job, I think of getting to know the players. And he's walking around versus like popping in, making sure that he's in front of them.

2:39:11And they get to know him and he gets to know them and it's a lot. You can imagine when you come in and you have all these guys, right? And trying to learn all these guys, I'm learning recruiting, trying to learn to staff, and learn dynamics like it's a lot. But he's handled it really well. You know, he's an old school ball coach, he's a grinder. So he's really good job. James, Sonny's probably not going to need to do much this spring. How much more can you get down with the young guy? But in terms of Ryan Dyer already said, you know, thank you for saying 75% or whatever. How much more can you get down with the young guys when they're not worried too much about the senior? Yeah, I think, I mean, you're always just looking for competition, especially like at Sprimball, that's what it's all about, right? You're trying to have it so cliche, but it's true. Like the Iron Sharpens Iron mentality of, you want your run to be super competitive, to where, hey, the guy in front of me makes a play. My next set of four plays I got there. I got the point, right? And it's a constant driving of the room forward.

2:40:12So, yeah, Sonny gets 50 or how many reps, reps off 50%? Where the coach said, then that means more opportunity for somebody else to play. Right? So that means more for our Val. Is that scheme flexibility with our Val? We're going to pay peers around. Is that TJ Riley? You like all these guys stove? We're all going to get more reps. I think it's great. So we got to do it at this point in the season. But I think, you know, yes, there's still stuff that, within all of the best Sonny is that he's going to be clawing to try to get those reps because he's a true pro. And that's been the most enjoyable thing about working with him is like, you get a kid who's played safety his whole life comes to the back yard. He wants to learn the why behind everything. And, you know, very similar in the fact of Cody, like, we have guys who are that easy to work with. You're not trying to like, not worried about texting anybody in our room about coming over and trying to learn ball. You know what I mean? Like, were you at, you know, like, their obsessed with the game of football.

2:41:14They're always around when they're at class. So it's like, it makes it really easy as a coach because they're passionate for the game and so strong. You mentioned TJ in terms of the higher with the map. Just what can Sonny, like, what do you envision more with him with all of that stuff? I think, I think we just have a lot of guys with a lot of links. It's about Sonny styles long run, our Valries long run. Like, it's crazy because you see Sonny. You're like, okay, this guy, like, I wish I was built like that when I played. And then you see our Val stand next to Sonny. You're like, you know what I mean? And so like, and then you look across the room like as the room warms up, you're like holy smokes. Like we just have a bunch of guys and that's a lot of credit to make coach make as a phenomenal job. I was just talking to Burm about it like to see even our maybe your guys what they looked like when they showed up during the bowl of the whole night. And that he run and they're kind of hanging out during practice and see the high school bodies to see what they look like today before they go away.

2:42:20And like the shoulders are all like everything is just different. And they've been indoctrinated into the brotherhood. So I think, you know, there's just a lot to work with. So what he's really good at right is like he's talked about it. One year he has junior say, oh, we'll get us Mike variable, you know, Roosevelt, Colvin and those guys. And then a couple of years later, he has Brandon spikes. So he's like, okay, I just put his blitz brand in the middle all the time. So he was 260 pounds and beast. He always says he was my best nose guard from Mike backer, right? And then the year after that, he gets, you know, got Jamie Collins and Dante high talent. So now we can do a lot of stuff, right? So they're not just like, hey, this is what we're doing. We got plenty of people into it. And here's what we got. Let's utilize it. So that's what strength will be. While going the lab and figure out what that means, I'm sure through spring ball, there'll be like, hey, here's what we do really well as a unit. Because this unit is going to be different, right?

2:43:20And you know, there's a lot of production. So you know, it will be different. So you kind of got to reform your own identity and you're re-earned that civil bullet big name in mantra. How many of you guys can look at our bell and just seem like he's on a very good track. Is that a way to describe it to us? What's his ceiling? It's open to the start of our bell. It's just a lot. And right now he's locked in. He's done a great job becoming a leader. Coming out of his shell, I think, you know, I think for Velley, it's all about his consistency and just preparation. And I'm proud of our bell, you know, he's through the season. You got way better at, you know, a lot of it's like little things. Just note taking stuff like sometimes these kids are always on their phones and stuff, not like in meeting them or anything like that, but just naturally. So like to get out of pen and paper and like, you hear things and I mean, yeah, I got it. What you do until your dog tired and then you forget because you don't need to. But when you really understand it, you know, I mean, like go play faster. You got so much better through the year. Just a lot of that's because of Cody, like becoming a pro.

2:44:20And then now it's like Sonny's pulling him along. He's pulling paint along the paint. He's pulling TJ and Riley and Eli. So I didn't still like. So I kind of love the competition room right now. The way it's made up. Yeah, he's on a great path. How many different guys do you feel like can be in that Mike's spot? Three. But that was obviously losing Cody and now having that. I think that's something that's fluid as we kind of go. Because you know, week one, Sonny actually started out Mike for us. And Sonny smart off the play. All our bell is smart off the play. All came here so smart off the play. And then we got to get to the ball. And that's also like how did you like depends on what scheme you're running. Where they how do they be utilized as well? You know what I mean? So you say my like my backer, you know, whether it's Tommy, I can very grow a real reason to different people and Cody's different from those two. So I challenged to like a lot of the guys that come in. So you got the other both the more you understand about the scheme in general.

2:45:23The faster you will play, you know what I mean? Like if I just sit here and I say, hey, I got a lot of Mike. My drop is this and that's all I need to know. Like, well, no, football happens so fast and all the shifts and motions that like. If you're out there just playing and you're waiting for a call. And you're just reacting like you're so worried about what's going on on your side of the ball. You didn't recognize that the offense is telling you something's what they're doing. So. If I'm out there and also I'm not going to call, I know what the call should be. It's like, hey, are we playing, you know, let's go. Now listen, you get it. You can look. I can see. Okay, here's what the tight ends doing. That's what the backs doing. Here's what plays are coming. If you just line up and play as a matter of passing every time, like, you know, it's the chance you got to eliminate plays in your mind by seeing what the offense is doing. Like they tell you the story every time they line up. They just window dressing. People motion and she wants to try to. Okay, are they trying to do man's own indicators and they trying to make sure that. They're getting the same formation. They're on the same place. But they just shift the people and then they motion and they move. And they don't want you to recognize. So we're always worried about what work you don't mean.

2:46:24So the more you know, faster you can play. You're not sitting there thinking, oh, what do I have for you? You're reacting. So I know you have. So my challenge to guys like, there's always a no both. So I think a lot of just beyond. On depth of sure guys get, you know, if Sonny's only doing 50 to 75% of the plays, then probably more guys get more will reps than they had because we need. More will bodies. That's technically where Sonny started. But. We'll rotate them through. Let the production kind of show what it does. And sometimes you know, you'll never some of mistakes just from. It's spot that you'll be able to judge to like who's actually. Getting the book, you know, I mean, who's actually studying. How much of break have you seen from Sonny this time of year ago? Through the national championship game and then what's next? I mean, definitely, I know, I know Sonny has big goals and he should. I do as well for him and. To see how far he's come, you know, first thing kind of stands out is just like his.

2:47:27His footwork has gotten so much better. You know, when you're in the boxes and linebacker, you got to be able to. Remember Luke Fickley said all the time and you got to be slow until it's time to be fast. When you're twitchy like he is. A lot of times, you know, when you're about safety or you're used to pulling a trigger and rolling. Like you got to learn how to shuffle and not cross over and he got so much better as a year or not. Think a lot of people question whether he'd be able to hold up physicality wise and you know he was. He was great, you know, he's the season guy. He's really good with his hands is a really natural ability to snag. We'll keep challenging him. I think he should be a dominant guy in coverage. He needs to be a guy that we can put on a tight end and be like he's not going to be in touch on the ball. He's going to make see eyes out of the lessons. They've been a challenge in there. Challenge them. I think everything is just missus on just sunny. It's everybody's urgency in zone coverage. I mean, the urgency with you have to break on the football to close that space. Not at the ball carrier have so much space on you to cut making miss is critical.

2:48:28I think sometimes he's keeping you so athletic that you know you can get away some stuff. And he knows anything that I'm saying right now. He already knows so best part is a lot of times like he'll come to me before film and already say that. Coach on that play actually you know what I mean like he knows. And the best part is that he's humble enough our whole. One is that they just want to be they want to be pushed and they want to be coached. And so the tech of russian diaspora like. I was asked what he needs for me just just keep making sure like you're pushing it. Let me settle. Let me settle. So he's probably the best. You look at sunny and our ball is getting this kind of your top of the guys right now. Yeah, I mean I think going into it, you know I think it's just accomplished the plan. And whatever play was called whatever maybe just go out there and execute it. One thing we appreciate is execution is really the motive. I didn't get me called but as long as everybody's mindset is has one mentality which is just go get it.

2:49:29And you know make sure there's no yard gain. I think that changes the mindset of everybody on the civil bull defense. Did they feel like big changes to you all as they were ongoing or? I mean at first like you know it was a tough loss so you know as any of you felt like everything was big. But then when you kind of just take your time to look at everything and analyze everything it was just like man we just. We just need to keep everything simple. Make everything and just just about us and you know not like feel like we're. I'm you know making everything about damage you know we can dictate what they do and I think that was the mindset. Did they let them in wrong? Yeah JT I know you get to watch a little bit of video of Caleb and Nathan and Jordan. What stands out about that group from your vantage point? Oh they're respected. They're relentless man. I mean Nathan, Caleb and I mean everybody in that BIA core. Yes they can cover but you know when it's time to you know stop the round they'll come down 12 yards out. However the however far off the front line scribbling coming you know the other nose in there and you know I respect them for that.

2:50:31Because you know there's going to be times when we need them to make them tackles and I mean they're displaying it this whole season. Yeah how critical are they in a game of this magnitude? Obviously everybody's critical but you know what I mean? Yeah. Sort of the last line of defense but sometimes the last line of defense is in the middle of it. Yeah I mean they play a huge role. I mean like you said it takes everybody from the front four. It's like a check reaction. The front four don't do their job then you know the falls you know the back end so we off to work as a collective. And I think there's a reason there's 11 of us out there and you know it's crazy if one person is doing their job then you know something can go wrong. But if we just all continue to stay communication with one another continue to just lay each other know we have each other's backs and just trust one another. And man I think that that performance is going to be off the charts. Well for the right, Kelly and Stitz WSYF. How would you describe the mentality of the defense right now giving this opportunity for Greenhouse and Jordan? Yeah, hungry and thankful. I mean we know how the last time when you know we had a chip on our shoulder. I mean we were riding high before that game and we took that loss and we came back how to make a couple changes.

2:51:33But I think we understand what you know everything's that stick right now. You know just fighting to where another house agent for the next game that's what's on stake and just to be able to represent this state and this team. I mean we understand what's on the line and you know we're just hungry and blessed that we get this opportunity playing the Rose Bowl. Right behind your Adam King WBNS. What do you remember most about walking off the field in Eugene? What was kind of all your minds in that moment? I mean there is a... I don't think anybody imagined it. Imagine us losing. You know I didn't... that's for sure. And I think after that it was kind of hit deep. But I understand it that man we still... there's still a lot of ball left to be played. I mean you can let it sting for a little bit but you know if you let it carry over too long then you know there goes. There goes your whole season by. I think we did a great job of just understanding coming together in this room right here. Not being afraid of display or hold accountability from one another.

2:52:37And you know as that happened he came back regrouped and you know we're just going right now. And I'm just blessed for those specific moments you know losing. I mean no one wants to lose but the testimonies and the things you're taught within those little situations speaks of all of them. After all we're all right, Vladimir and Drone. What did you see from King Aled? The last couple of weeks then. Was there like a push from him and there were many conversations with him. We can see like he's playing some special ball in the scene. Yeah I mean that's my boy he's in the R2X club too but you know Kiyada. I mean every time his numbers call he goes out there and makes the most of it. No matter where we are in the game. When he goes out there he's just hungry. He's going to go make plays and you know we see it and practice so it's not surprising to us. Bill Rebino, it's a point of this. Dylan gave us obviously very elusive and he's not very tall.

2:53:37How important it could be to just kind of stay in your past rush lanes and neglect a lot of balls and kind of make a difference that way? Yeah I think it just comes on being disciplined. No one who you're playing against like you said. He's very elusive. He is making throws. I mean he get out the puck and do everything. So I think for us we just have to just continue to meet with Coach Jay. We want to coach knows and understand how we can just eliminate that. I should have asked you and Jack. I mean your personality seems to be a little different. More on the quiet side. You play together four years both five store guys. You can just describe your relationship with him, friendship with him and just kind of how you pop them on each other. Man that's my brother like you said. We're different but very alike. I think outside like you said he's louder I'm quiet but you know once we're on that field we're like the same person. We'll do anything for this team. You know we'll die for our players and we'll give everything we got.

2:54:39Room together for four years correct? Yeah. Fall camps. Every room. Yeah. Over there. Sleep over there. So yeah. There's the neat one who's the messy one. We have our share of days when we when I'm neat he's neat or you know we might both be messy but we do a good job. Yeah. I would probably say I would better kick the jack though. Tony Gertman, like I held. When you're playing a team for the second time and that was almost a season to go by now. Yeah. How much of, are you at square one with with this scouting and preparation or how much do you take from that game? How much do you avoid taking so that you don't have any pre-signation to much of going up against offense on the offense line? I say it's pretty 50-50. I mean that game like you said it was a while ago but at the same time they elevated as a team so did we. So we understand that they had they made some changes for sure. You know there's t there's a certain density we can take back from that game but we also understand that they went on a little run after that and we can see that they elevated as an offense.

2:55:41So we just got to continue to watch those games dissect the other games and just continue to see what stands out and what they change from the past game. We got a couple calls on zoom that will wrap up with first we have Nick Hamilton from night cast media Nick. I just wanted to ask you basically about the synergy of this defense and how you guys were able to not only celebrate the triumphs but get through the adversity be able to be this top notch defense that you are a college football today. Here you need to question one more time. One of the issues about the synergy you are able to develop over course of the season obviously celebrating the triumphs but also getting through the adversity to where you are all the top notch defense that you are today. Yeah I mean like you said that we went through a lot of trials to trials but there's also there's a lot of things we can take away from all the wins and losses. From those wins we understood that we can be the best defense in the country and from those losses we understand that there are still things that need to be fixed and I think when you take all that in at once they come down to the common top which is you can always learning points everywhere.

2:56:57And depending how we dissect those games or how we just continue to come as one and elevate you know we continue to just collect all those learning points and just continue to grow from them. And one final question. Joey Kaufman, Columbus Dispatch. CalShe's own CEO says it himself. And yes two thirds of people on CalShe lose money. So what does it take to be in the other third? To do extensive amount of research to be good. There are people that spend copious amount of money, time, resources, energy, they've dedicated their lives to basically becoming good at it. All that and still. And yes two thirds of people on CalShe lose money. That's CalShe in their own CEO's words. Go to www.fairpredics.com to learn more. Hi this is Dave Roberts. Heading into summer without a medical emergency kit that's a risk. Summer colds can linger and getting sick on vacation can derail everything. That's why everyone needs a medical emergency kit.

2:57:57It includes doctor prescribed medications to treat common and serious illnesses. So if you wake up sick, at home or on the road you already have what you need. It's like having an urgent care and pharmacy at home. Say $45 with code blue at urgentcare kit.com slash blue. CalShe's own CEO says it himself. And yes two thirds of people on CalShe lose money. So what does it take to be in the other third? You have to do extensive amount of research to be good.

JT what have you guys done better in the. Especially in the Tennessee game and just late in the season you think about turning some of the pressures that you've got on the quarterbacks and the sacks and getting at home in some of those situations.

2:59:01Yeah I think it was more just understanding the defense as a whole understanding everybody's job. The thing as the season went on we had to understand that we have to know what's going on in the back can we have to know what's going on to align back recruit to understand what plays we have room of freedom. And I think once we understood that and got a better understanding of everybody's job. I mean it showed this play because everybody knows what we're doing. It's not like the linebacker know what they're doing. The corners and be I they know only their job. I think we all know each other's job and we continue to ask each other questions on you know if they're listening how they can get to the quarterback and you know if I'm dropping playing quarterbacks by I can ask Cody on how to open field tackle. So you know we just we just kind of lean on each other's understanding because you know like I said like Denzel knows how to play corner better than I know how to play corner. So you know he has more more wisdom at that position than I do. Thank you very much. More more.

3:00:02Can health similar will you will be in terms of playing with what you did in Denver? I don't know that yet. I kind of just mentioned previously. I don't know my role. I don't know the engine out yet. So once we'll get know through the protocols and NFOPA we'll talk about know the schemes and everything. Right. So welcome when you were in Denver in the three four. Where did you find yourself most comfortable most effective in my role? I played a lot of different positions in Denver. I mean early in my year I played zero. I played three to one. I mean I definitely more comfortable in a shaded position mainly being a three technique and five technique. That's why I found myself to be more comfortable whether I'm standing up or I'm not. Whether it's runner or pass those seem to be my best my best fits. And what is your impression of people's defense and whole environment and Seattle? From afar it seems like he holds in on defense a lot. I can't really say too much about that. Yeah.

3:01:02I don't I know Pete Carol very little. So I'm just trying to figure out more and I'll give you a better answer later. What's the reputation around the league? Hard knows hard hat type of team. Definitely on a little more lack side as opposed to being a stuck up or military style. And which is definitely good because then they this program is one of a lot of football games. They've been super successful for many years. As long as I've been alive and as long as I've been watching football and definitely this has been a good program. And Pete Carol has been a hell of a coach for the longs I can remember him back in his college days. So I'm looking forward to experiencing that. Yeah, I know you said you don't know yet what your role can be. But what kind of player are you that you don't understand? Definitely a high motor. Definitely not a one trick point type of player. I like to attack. No, whether it's first or first to before now I like to attack.

3:02:02I'm always on the fly pressure. I'm definitely just a high motor guy. My opinion. Maybe. I'm pretty Anderson for me. Nice to meet you. This is not a team that really makes big splash sign in this in pregnancy. Do you think going into it that Seattle would be in play? No, not at all. You just it's kind of like being a kid at the candy store here. No, got a whole bunch of different options coming at you here in a whole bunch of different crazy things. And you know, you only get to choose one. And this is the place that we both chose each other. And I mean, I'm loving see out so far. I like these colors. What, why do you not do it? Not much. Just kind of just drive around the city exploring. Get down to the market a little bit. I want to get on the Ferris wheel do some more like touristy type of things, you know, I'm new to the city. And I got a lot to learn about. All right. Yeah, there's been a lot of comparisons that you the Michael Bennett.

3:03:03I wonder if you know Michael Bennett at all. I know Michael bearer Bennett like that. I don't know about it, but besides his style of play. But I'm honored to be considered in the same conversation as him in a style of play. You know, he's a Hall of Fame type of deep lime and that I've known about since I was a kid. I mean, last time he played here, I was in high school. So, you know, it's cool to kind of came full circle a little bit watching him on TV. And now I'm being kind of compared to him in a way. You know, I mean, I'm not touching the surface of Michael Bennett. You know, he's a Hall of Famer. And I'm not there yet. So, you know, I just have to keep doing my due diligence to be a better player. David. Hey, Dream out. Welcome to Seattle. I know you get to play several seasons for Vic Fangio in the three four style defense. And Seattle's playing a similar system now to the back to last year. I have a defensive line. And what do you think is most important to be successful in that system? Maybe fundamentals or just playing style to be successful? Well, I'm just from what I learned being gap sound and being patient has always been the biggest thing.

3:04:08And that's how we've been successful when I was in Denver. Just kind of like we're lying on each other. I know that sounds kind of cliche, but like there's kind of like the realm of being in a three four defense. You got to really rely on the guys behind you and the guys on the side of you to really make their. To do their job to make your job easier. Bob. Yeah, Dream up on your. You're a state plan. You didn't start playing football to you in your high school. You got to play basketball to that next. Just. What made you I get to play football and then with that artist. Is there all the kind of way from basketball? No, no, I've always loved football first. It was just kind of just I was just playing it out. You know, I let a hoop, but you know football was definitely about calling and giving. I was. I was like, I'm six three from training. So you know, I kind of chose the route that you got gave me. No, I'm not six eight. Yeah. Um, just from a standpoint, like I always get like over over shadowed over,

3:05:23just from a standpoint, I always get overshadowed, overlook, whether it's in something. Saying, I feel like I do a lot more than what can be seen by the eyes of the inexperienced scout. And I do a lot of different dynamic things that help make place for others. I'm definitely an active player. I'm always doing something whether in a run or pass game. So I think that goes on sometimes. And I'm looking forward to playing people on notice. Brady? What do you like to do outside of football? Where is from your audience? Big gamer. I'm definitely, I've been getting to a lot of chess lately. So I just expand my brain. I try to get into reading. But if it's not supported later, I really not interested in reading that much. But mainly just video gaming in chess. And then when we write and say your name, do you prefer Drain mod? I mean, you can say Drain mod Jones, I mean. But I'm personally just coming to Drain.

3:06:24Because people like to f my name a lot. And they call me Drain Montet. I don't know why you put a Drain mod T in my name or Drain mod T. Whatever you want to say, I just go buy Drain to keep it simple. Yo, thank you. Michael Sean. CalSheezone CEO says it himself. And yes, two thirds of people on CalShe, lose money.

Hey, Dre, what's specifically are you bringing to the CMARFs as a past lesson? Some of the new era of the past question. Someone was on the little lighter side of the average through technique and bringing that explosiveness, that quickness. Someone was great with their hands. Someone was very extensible. And someone was a go-getter when it comes to the run-and-pass here. Appreciate it. Tell it well. Yet, Jerry Jones, that I don't say that after the trade did, or after the signing, that you actually got to date, they wanted them to trade last year's

3:08:25and I still have to trade. But Denver said no. Is that something that you have your awareness at all? Yeah, I was aware. I mean, like, shit. They'd be flattered. They want to be even like that. Yeah, I am flattered. I mean, shit, actually, just traded me from the jump. But it was cool to, I guess, a catacane full circle for Seattle a little bit. I was included into the trade and Denver said no. And then Denver kind of, I don't want to say that word. But Denver didn't pay my part of respect. So I'm here because they respect me from the jump. All right, anything else, guys? Thank you. Whatever things do, we're all learning. So it's been really good. How much were you talking to Kay as you got here and kind of going through that first year? Obviously, you're doing his own thing. But just what this is all about? Yeah, I think having him go through the whole process has been a big thing. And kind of having him in my corner just to talk to him or call him whenever I need. We still talk a lot. And I have some questions whenever.

3:09:28So a lot for a Scott here, he was still here in the training and everything, but he had a fail. So it's been like I haven't, whenever, so it's been good. What's it like watching me now in the NFL with the Texans? I've not seen you know pretty well doing, living out his dreams. Yeah, no, it's been a tough. And the super happy for him, he's down there in Houston, you know, CJ and everything, I think he, you know, he really likes it. So I'm excited to see what he does this next coming year. Just how different your team from here and just like, you know, you get a college student and get a couple of all of that in all of the second. Just how different is he feeling? Not different. Just to everybody to go to the community. Yeah, I think you kind of realize that, you know, this is, you know, this is your life. And you know, you got to, you know, come in here and play single-highest day, like playing with the best ever single day. You know, you got the time in, you know, you got to, you know, make sacrifices, you know, to, you know, what you want to get out of it in the end. You know, a long fight, you know, school just, you know, live on your own. And you know, it's good for you to do a lot.

3:10:28And, you know, as you get, it just makes you better overall. Do you graduate from here with your team? Yeah, you have got like Riley and Peter Andrew you, and you look up to, you know, guys, you know, I'm like, what a big dev role now. You have guys that are going to be, what kind of players and players will be if you have to, you know, off the game, you grow, you know, that kind of thing. Yeah, I mean, just kind of, you know, just showing the way around this, the building, you know, just, you know, how, how we do it here at the high-stay, how we operate, you know, they, you know, I think all three young guys coming in, have done a great job, you know, they've, you know, great work ethic, you know, I think, you know, for me, you know, the offseason, it's more like, you know, by example, kind of thing, and spring a little bit of, you know, vocally, and there's well, but, you know, just kind of working with them and, you know, kind of showing them how, you know, build a guy's and how we do things in the room, it's, you know, definitely carried on to that. Being a part of that, a chapter from last year, I guess, what did you learn from that? One thing went on, you guys went on, and I guess, what do you learn about, like, what are things going to happen?

3:11:30This is the standard level. I would just say, you know, staying together, you know, our biggest thing was each week was just trying to keep, keep that group together each week, and, you know, I think last year, we had such a strong bond together, you know, with all the guys, I think that was really the motivation, you know, just staying together and, like, like a band of brothers. James has popped down the past. I think you haven't seen in our bill, you know, kind of, we just need to keep it. James has popped the past on the past, and you're playing well, you're making plays, consistently, the practice. You're going to find playing well. You think you're going to say, how are you pressing yourself at a close, you know, you're not going to lose the game, you're going to use your making a play and you're going to be playing well. You're going to get a lot of chances. Yeah, I mean, I think, you know, just starts with, you know, coming out to practice every day, you know, put your head down, just, you know, making sure you're going hard every single play, you know, knowing what you're doing, you know, so you can build that trust. But I think, you know, just having the guys around, you know, like, Sunny, Arvel, Peyton, you know, you know, you know, who's, you know, been in there, you know, playing in games,

3:12:31and everything like that, you know, to lean on and ask some questions and stuff. So, so you're ready? Where you sit down, so you sit down. I'm like 227. What's the goal for 40 points? How does it go? It's still 225 right now, but I think it'll come up to like, 237. And then you just get a little more. Great, congratulations. We should do that. Do you feel a sense of urgency to be part of that 2D, to provide depth, or maybe more than that this season? How can you go ahead and do your 2D? Yeah, I mean, I think all right now, kind of focus on just getting better someday. I think it's kind of what it springs for. Is, you know, individually just, you know, continue to perfect your craft every single day. For that technique, or you know, scheme or whatever. But, uh, well, yeah, I mean, I think that's, you know, definitely, you know, something in my head, and you know, obviously, you know, came here to play. So, I think that's definitely a big thing. I think just saying I had the chance and getting, getting past those third downs, I mean, that's what we got to be better at. And, um, within the day, we got to put him in zone.

3:13:34We're not doing that. We're not doing our job. So, I think that's a great more explosive place. That's an offense. Right. I think you stick with it. Um, you know, the explosive players are going to come and now he's got to trust that. And they'll be there for us for sure. Coach Sins has been here for, uh, high as and loads over the many, many years. He's been with this program now. What sort of his message to your group right now? Or when you're talking about your team, what do you think about your group right now? Or when you're turning to him, what is he saying as far as how to get through this? Yeah. So, I think it's just really just coming in, attacking every day as you would, um, regardless. And, uh, you know, staying, staying even, even through hardship and attacking it, attacking it the same way every day. Um, that's really all you can do. And, uh, you just get a little better every day and see where it takes you. Based on the way things are already we're setting up, but then also the way, um, um, Jason Simmons was calling the game on Saturday. It seemed like tight ends are going to be a big part of this as you guys are trying to pull out. And what role do you think you guys are going to have

3:14:35in trying to get this offense? Yeah, I think we, I think the role is always to try to help the offense move the ball and, um, whether they were called upon to do that. In the past game or the run game, we just got to step up and do our job at a high level and, uh, whatever you asked from us, we just got to do it at high level and let the offense go. You're some of the leaders on the offense. Some of the leaders have to say Gus is a big leader. I mean, he's been doing it for a while. And it's someone that everyone trust, um, is going to do his job at a high level. And, um, I think we have, uh, Hudson's a good leader too, as well. Um, obviously, he's a quarterback, so he takes on that leadership role. And, um, I think we just have a good amount of leaders, uh, you know, throughout the offense. We were told George might be fairly close to getting back, what would mean to get him back in the mix with the Titans. Yeah, it'd be great. I mean, George is a great athlete, so having him out there can only help. Um, you know, we're really excited about him and what you can do on the field, so, it'd be great.

3:15:35They don't care about that up here. So, you know, it's developing yourself to have a great mindset early, uh, you know, having that grown man mindset at 18 years old. Uh, it's, it's really important because, like, the period, I don't really care about feelings. So it's about, you know, just coming up here, you know, being a man that you think you are, you know, having to go out there and, you know, improve it. David, what's been the easiest thing in the most difficult thing about your transition years so far? Uh, the easiest thing, I would say, I mean, it's really not easy about this, uh, you know, coming to a top program like this, you know, especially coming off from national championship, uh, it's really not easy, you know, they're pushing for the same thing, they're trying to go back and back. So I mean, we just got to come up here, we got to step up. Uh, but the hardest thing I would say, uh, you know, just, just having to grow up, uh, you know, going from high school where, you know, I've been the man there for three years. So I mean, coming up here where you started the bottom again. So I mean, I told my parents it's all the time, like, you know, I think my history is repeating itself because when I went into high school, the high school, I went to her a powerhouse.

3:16:35So I was at the bottom there and had to work my way up. And I feel like that's just repeating self here. And I met the bottom here, you know, I put myself at the bottom. So I have to work my way up to the top. And so, you know, just going to get these guys, they're competing every day. And I'm not going to get a day off where, you know, she was just coming out here just, just, just be essence. So I mean, you got to, you got to be able to be secure all the time. When you see what a guy like, sorry, Devon, you skipped. When you see what a guy like JJ did last year coming in here playing immediately, is that inspired you to want to be able to do the same thing as a freshman? I mean, definitely, you know, just, just what he did last year is a, it's a true freshman, you know, him being able to play an impact team like that. Obviously, I went there for myself. So, you know, I'm going to push myself to that limit, you know, try to be on the field here when that's my plan. That's the biggest reason I came here because I have an opportunity to play here one. So, me having that opportunity is good. And, you know, I'm going to, I'm always going to come out here and compete. Like I said, I'm putting myself at the bottom. So I'm working, I'm going to work every day like I'm at the bottom. And I got to get to the top. How, well, what do you feel like it's going to take for you to get from the bottom to the bottom?

3:17:36You know, just discipline. They're big on discipline here and, you know, competitive agent. So, it's just staying consistent every day. Just doing the right, having little to none, mental errors. That's going to give me on the field. And, you know, I do, I do what I'm supposed to do. That's going to give me on the field. How do you manage those expectations for people to think that you should be playing week one when the season comes around? How do you manage people basically? You know, I don't really let you get to my head because, you know, like I'm here, you know, I got dudes in the room that are, you know, like, as you dig, you know, he's in a big three-year start. I got to main first in all American, you know, he's going to play this year too. So, I can't let what people say on the net, you know, get to me because, you know, anybody can say, oh, he's going to play this year, but you know, I actually got to prove it. So, I just got to come out here, you know, work, you know, and that spot. What's your supposed to do for it? Can you learn so far in your three months here? Compete, and every day. That's the biggest thing. Having to compete, you know, these guys appear to, they take winning and losing to heart.

3:18:37So, you know, my first, my first week up here when we did our competitions, you know, I was winning, then I actually, I got that first loss on my belt and, you know, it kind of opened my eyes to like, these guys take it to heart when they lose. They don't like it. So, you know, I kind of got that now where I don't like losing. You had the opportunity to be around the team for that, you know, CFP Ron. What did you learn from JustBoys few weeks seeing this team make that run? You know, being real tight with your brothers, you know, they're real tight. You know, they push each other, you know, it's a real brotherhood. They don't let nobody down. They always got each other back. So, I mean, it's a new team now. So, you know, we got to build that chemistry with each other, you know, just get tight. And I feel like when I was there for that playoff run and I practiced, when they were at the National Championship, you know, I just got to watch, you know, how guys are, you know, real locked in. They're close with each other. They're not letting nobody slack off. And, you know, I feel like we had the opportunity to do that with this team now. How did you handle Luke? You handle that first lock? That first lock, you know, it kind of got to me. It was the IGB, you know, he, you know, he let me hear.

3:19:41So, after that loss, I was like, nah, I can't let this happen anymore. Because it's like, now it's not high school where you used 17, 16 years old and if you lose, you lose. Up here, it's not. If you lose, the coach will see that. So, and they're going to see how you respond to it. So, I feel like I had a hacker, you know, open my eyes, I had to go and lock them, like, yeah, I can't let this happen. You know, so I got to go up and, you know, these guys are counting on me too. So, it's really important that I don't lose. If you hadn't described yourself as a competitor, how would you do that? I'm a great competitor, you know, I like winning. Who does something like that? So, I mean, winning is, it's in my blood. You know, my parents taught me that at a young age, you know, going out there competing for anything that you want. And I feel like if you can go out there to compete for, you know, it's yours. And if you can compete for it all the time, who's going to take it from me? So, I mean, I'm a good competitor, I'm always going to go out there and try to take what's mine. If it's out there, then anybody can have it. I'm going to be the one who's going to get it. There's some role markers in your room, obviously. Are you a talker? What's your natural, bro? Yeah, I mean, it could come out on you, you know. But I don't really know my game, though, I'm talking for this part.

3:20:45But, you know, if it gets there, it gets to that point, you know, yeah, I can bring it out. Because, you know, regardless, I'm not just going to let nobody just come out here and just, you know, catch balls on me. If I'm having a good day, I'm consistently getting TVUs, yeah, I'm going to talk about that. But, CalShe's own CEO says it himself. And yes, two thirds of people on CalShe lose money. So, what does it take to be in the other third? You have to do extensive amount of research to be good. There are people that spend the copious amount of money, time, resources, energy, they've dedicated their lives to basically becoming good at it. All that and still.

You know, you know, you got IGB, you know, those real talkers in that room. So it kind of makes you want to bring it out. And you know, when you bring that out, that just brings energy out of the whole defense. And when you got the whole defense clicking, I mean, you can see. You can see. Is there anyone that's kind of a competition you have?

3:22:47It was during the winter. We were doing, you know, just stuff on the field. We were just having the time of the field. Just a lot of competitions. So I mean, he just kind of, it was a day where, you know, they had us going up against just a freshman. And then they kind of threw us in there and fired against the other guys. So we had to, you know, we had to wake up and, you know, we all kind of lost. And then we all kind of, like, we all kind of came to get that as a freshman group. Like, what are we going to do about this? Because, you know, some of their kind of mess to step up in those roles. Yeah, definitely, definitely, definitely, definitely my work on college moments. You know, you know, just, just showing that, you know, it's real now, a middle-high old state. I'm not in Houston, Texas, no more in my school. Far from my family, you know, I got to wake up. I got to grow. I got to mature fast. And, you know, I just got to get ready for the next level. You've mentioned high school a couple of times. How did, you know, growing up there in Texas, playing at that level? How do you feel like that helped you prepare for a high school? I feel like you prepared good, you know. I feel like I went to a powerhouse in Texas. We obviously ran the Houston area. You know, we've been running the Houston area for a long time now.

3:23:47And I feel like, you know, we're a real college program. We live just like these guys who do the same lifts. You know, the level of ball I play, the highest level of ball in the Texas 6A. You know, we're going against guys like Dunkin' Bill, no crowdly. Those top schools, you know, received the Korean War against them. I want to get some three times in my career. So, I mean, those that really prepared me for this level, you know, coming in like, okay, this is not where it's a little school where they don't believe that I can come here and make an impact. I came from big schools, so they're counting on me to make an impact. Because, you know, I think, I mean, everybody would say Texas is one of the highest football players in the country. You know, it goes us floated in the probably Georgia. So, I mean, they're counting on me to be ready and that level of ball prepared me real, real well. How'd you do against the Korean? You know, it was when lose, when lose. You know, I went something, he lost something. So, I mean, it's just getting better, I'm sharp and higher. Because, you know, he's the top receiver, obviously, in our class. You know, I feel like he's going to have a good impact at the awarding.

3:24:49So, I mean, it's just what's going to happen next. Looking for to see it again? Yeah, definitely, definitely. And you know, I plan on planning against him. We don't want to see him this year. Hopefully we see him in the big team championships. So, you know, I want to rematch him. Never you committed super early in the process, six months after that. You shut things down when, quite frankly, someone of your caliber didn't have to do that. You could have, you've seen kids play the game a little bit longer than that. But you chose to not do that. Just kind of lock it here. Why? You know, because this is what I felt, this was home. You know, I didn't really feel like, you know, standing Texas was a good thing for me. I didn't feel like that was home for me. Up here, I just thought I could have home. You know, because of all that, because they, you know, they're making it, you know, making me feel important up here. And then, you know, you can ask, because how many times I came up here, throughout my high school career, I came up here 13 times. So, we got to the point where I was knowing the guys on the team. I had the numbers just like that. When I come up here, you know, I don't got to always build the coaches.

3:25:49I can go chill with some of the guys on the team. So, it was just me, you know, knowing what I want to play my college ball at, you know, knowing what I felt like it was home and then, you know, it was also my parents too, you know, my mom being, you know, feeling safe that, you know, I'm up here, you know, I'm handling the business and not having to worry about me. And she goes to sit. I've been in practice. He's at 4U and I think this is the other one that's in the district. I'm a coach hard in my room. I'm a coach during the step up and he's helped us out. Everything we do, he's a big help. And I just like, make sure we stand on time and all that stuff. We're just talking about stepping into a big hole in the slide. How much do you watch, I like that every day, try and take things. Whether it's preparation, stuffy goes on the field, just learning from a guy like that. Yeah, every time I watch, I want him. So, I've to take some of this and then I had it to my air-bricing largest too. I take some of this, all the receivers. Yeah, they always help me out on it.

3:26:50There's lots of life walking into this room, specifically at the higher stage, with all the history of a minority smile. You know what it means to be a part of this room. What's that? It's a big step. It definitely holds a lot like a shoulder. So, you gotta get a big quick. It's definitely a big dream for mine. It's never been to a lot of people. I'm blessed to be here. You want that? Yeah, that's why you come here. That's why you come here. What's the name of an advice you've got from some of the workers that has already even before Springgolf started to talk to the Mecca, some of those guys that's around? I try not to take everything personally. I'll say, you know, the time will come, we'll make a comment, say, make that play. I've been looking forward to that every day. I have some training on playing, but because that's going to get you to be farther and farther in this game. I like to. Yeah, I like to. As you got pregnant, you was the guy who ever weighed these last two years to really get this out of you.

3:27:50How much is patient to require me to? Obviously, you don't get off the field in the morning. How much is patient to import the power? Not everybody has the same amount. Some people always have a living term, but you just got a meal. I can say a meal, a little tongue, you just got to make that play. It's going to go off from here. Awesome. Thank you. It's actually really great to be alive. You know, every say, just to get an offer from here on my life, I just need to start with it. Just get a bit. I just need to get a bit. I appreciate this. I mean, obviously, we've got a couple of reasons for you. I'm curious about how you picture a high-end trade. It's a pretty good. You started to do the client pretty good, but I mean, in terms of the guy who you want to join us. I don't understand. You're not a testie car. You're not a missing box or a lot of you. You're a testing car. You're a customer. You're a camera. You're a testie car. You're not a customer.

3:28:50You're a team shirt. It's something to break. Break, break, break, break. This is more than what you want. Out of the coil back in your box. Like a white glass. Out of the you two are missing a testie car. You're not a customer. You're like, yeah, this is more than what I'm going to do. You're not a major. You're not always a testie. You're not a coach. You're a judge. . Which is your score? The 2nd sign you got just a car. Is it 3? That's 3. We're at the testes we got. They did another one. I hear it. What's up, President, can you see me up there? Sean Bloom. NAT. Are you guys positive? I think you're on the hook drive. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. What's here? We're talking about the process.

3:29:51I value that thing as well. I'm going to talk about it. I'm going to talk about it. I'm going to talk about it. First time I met him. We just found a room. What do you think people can bring to the conference? You know, we have to do that. So I can take a lot of things. What's in the room? What's in the room? There's no room in the house. Or you being out of the toilet. There's no room in the house. There's no room in the house. There's no room in the house. There's no room in the house. The room here is a room here. The room here is the one you are just a couple of. It's definitely different. So 5 years. I was asked this at your lecture. The new generation of recruits where I don't think anybody outside would be in a room with a question, the strength of your commitment, like you've locked in the last eight, and you sent it over and over.

3:30:51But you're making visits around the country, you see in other schools. It's almost a totally different mindset. What's that coach that will be in the last decade? I'm always lucky, you know, I'm still enjoying the process. You know, it's slowly having one time, you know, for the students. Enjoy it. So, all right. The other school is outside of life. Yes, and we really are trying to get to the split. So how's the state? So how's the state? I don't know what it's like to be. What is it that's made you want to take first place? I'm not going to put out one specific thing. You're going to need a kill guy. Find yourself in the first three. Do you get frustrated in moments like that in the ball time? Definitely, a little bit of both. Obviously, I just wanted the team to win. I think you got a chance to win. No, definitely towards it. And then it stretched out last drive. I was a couple of plays here. A couple of calls that you made me should have gotten.

3:31:51But I think the frustration more so it just comes from wanting to win more. You said he was a little surprised how much attention you got right away from the defense. How about you? Yeah, definitely. We maybe killed him more. One of the ones kind of how the game plan was set up. You didn't got a different coverage line of cloud to my side. I just kind of had the game goes. What's the process of it in the middle of some times where whatever reason just doesn't see that much? Yeah, definitely. Especially in college, a lot of the game fans defensively were taking the away. You know, they had a lot of success. I was able to stay out of the game with one of the ball having different weapons. They kind of still get the victories. And I was, you continue to do better jobs when you're here. A lot of the motivation and the process has been like post game getting on the same page with Kyler. You guys exchange tax to it. You guys get into the film? Yeah, film from deathly. Kind of athlete with that IC there. Kind of go over and play. And that's how I get him when I saw and kind of different feedback there.

3:32:55Mark, I get it. We're asking questions about the previous game. Are you the type of guy to let a game like that winger or how do you flush it? You got to move on. Got to move on. It's a long season guy. 16 more of them. Hopefully, no, I can stay healthy throughout the year and just continue to build and get better each week. You guys did so much work throughout the off season to get on the same page. How different is it when you get into that regular season? Yeah, it's totally different. It's totally different. You can do a lot of things, you know, in shirts and shorts. And then once you go out there, put practice and get pads on. You do like the point practice you get with the colds. But there's nothing like actually going out there and live action. I'm really trying to be on the same page. So I think that relationship will continue to develop and it will develop. Is that it? It's just a matter of roughs. This much is anything. Yeah, I do definitely. Like I said, I was kind of my first live action together. So continue with your early impressions. So I'm kind of on the field together and I'm in the presence of what's happening. Yeah, but now obviously I have a deaf certificate, you know, JG's call or preseason.

3:33:55And I obviously be all feel really healthy. That's kind of the most important thing. I obviously get a lot of healthy even going forward. So, that's it. Marvin, what are your early impressions of the Rams? What do you think of the Rams? They're a good team. They're a good physical team. I got a new lot of new guys up front, I think. That's kind of where their strong suit is. Kind of a little different to Buffalo, come over to a little match coverage. So I'm excited to go against them. Personally, when the bells did give you one of my opportunities, how do you feel today? It wasn't many of them. It wasn't many of them. So, I thought I could be good. I'm just what you think versus just playing. You know, not getting a preseason game. Definitely thinking a lot out there. I think I'll come with reps. I think to think and less and just going out there and playing. Definitely come with reps. And it's something you're on you better at. But definitely, I was thinking a lot out there. Is there anything you can do to prove that that's your coverage? Anything you can do to prove that? You're going to fix that a lot, obviously. Yeah, I mean, you just got to team.

3:34:55Get open for yourself. Make yourself available. The one the ball does. Get away and make him the play. The beef is just taking you away. That means other guys are having a chance to get open. So, that's how kind of high-look at it. It's no longer so succeed in all offense. That's the best thing for us. They're continuity with Tyler. Is there something that comes pretty quickly out of you? Or is there something that might change? Hopefully sooner or later, I think. They'll look in team to see. We'll see. I don't think we're in a bad place right now at all. Obviously, I don't really think that. But just the live reps will continue to grow and show. It's a little about life. It's all about life. It's all about life. It's all about life. And the CEO says it himself. And he has two thirds of people on CalShi lose money. So, what does it take to be in the other third? You have to do extensive amount of research to be good.

I was like saying what close to GM, close to what? Everything is not always about ball with them. It's about like focus on how do you become a better man, a better player individually. It's only one player that you're here or something.

3:36:58It's Tennessee. I always did that. I'll keep you talking to what I was heading into. Chris Neck sees and kind of trying to push for a job. Is that like a confidence booster for you? I mean, I'll say it was a confidence booster. One reason I'll say that because you get like good coaches who believe in you and like they give you the tools to go out there and just play with confidence. You know, not their doubting yourself. Like you got your teammates who got your back. Like my first play when I got up there to the seat. Like when DeZel, IGB and I remain. Like, first thing they say is like, you know, you know, the tools, the usual tools. It's got to make a play. And where about a play coming to you? You know, where is your time, your job? You just do it. And then like, the same goes for you. Like, he gives me, he puts me in a position like, like the drills we put in, the work you put in, the one on one, so I just go out there and just perform at the highest level. How much better are you right now than maybe last month? I mean, I got way better just because I've transitioned a little bit to the inside. So I miss my style. Like now I see just like catch, catch technique. And it often covers not, it's not always press at the line.

3:37:59So it's like not maybe to like move my feet, move my hands. Like see, like what I got to do just like just in case I got to go back in corner, I can, I'll plan off now. I'm very confident out there. Do you think that that was a natural fifth of you or have you had to kind of convince yourself to transition to that? I mean, I feel like it's natural for me because I feel like me individually, I'm a fast learner. Like coaches help us like learn fast. Like because they're always honest about the techniques and stuff. So you like you write down like you pick up all the things and then like when we get out here, they coach us to like the techniques always you just go out there and play like fast spot. And it's been like, I would like reversatility. You're able to go out there and just compete. Is that where you kind of stuff this spring or you've been kind of about there? So I'm really been stuck there this spring a little bit. But like whenever you get this like other things, I just bounce out there every once in a while just like have, just have fun. See if I still got it every once in a while. So it's as good as going through the compete at most spots. You mentioned the technique. What technique, you know, tips and things that you had to pick up

3:39:01and learn from walking from taking the insight. I mean, you just always like, you're like, because what preaches are asking hands like see it, you see it, move your feet and then get your hands on the man. So it's like when you feel like, when you out there, you're able to like process like the way the receiver comes off the ball, looking at the hips and seeing like the way he moves. Are you able to pick up like the row concepts you can get out of that? Like so it's being like under coach walls for me. Like as a player and just like him breaking out football to you like one on one. It's like very beneficial. What was the hardest part of making that transition from outside insights? I really say like the corner you got to cover two you cover three you get to cover one us. Like you mean it's easy but then you got nickel. Now so many responsibilities you got to see like the row concepts. You got to be able to process like diagnosed routes faster than what you got to do on corner and just be able to like everything's quid like your transition you got to like you got to move fast. You got to learn to move fast. It's like game recognition. Where do you think maybe from the most since you got it?

3:40:01I definitely say I definitely say yes because I was when you get to like college just a little bit different high school. We don't got to worry about things like that when you get to like college in a school like this like your recognition of plays and like you'll know your jobs the way like the coverage is supposed to be played and understand all your teammates or pluses you have when you feel like it is easy. What have your product been? It's very talented. He's a great dude. He's a humble guy. A great teammate. He's very supportive because I got actually the one around because you can feed off your energy because you can see like when you make a play he's like he like I do me. It's like I do me two pointers. I was like maybe I'll have to go with that with that with good energy. It makes you play a little bit harder and it's like when you make a play it's out there and it's helping you. It's being out there with him is a good way to play. One of those guys, trust question, ten full kids. I would say obviously a lot of people are here. So I'll be serious. Now what is it about one bill that gets you to play at a high school?

3:41:03That's a big question I know. The other guy just starts a performance book because you have so many kids coming out of the blue and just play at games. I'll leave like the league schools and then like like try to big part of it because I mean to actually in a blue and everybody got to run track like it's mandatory. You don't really get a choice. You able to just like get out here and like know how to compete and then like do like getting bills and mental toughness into you. So I was like have you like I've heard now you got to be mentally tough because I'm like life is not going to be easy. So it's like being out here being able to compete and when you down just pick your sub back up I mean that's against us. That's against us. I'm good. Play here forever. You know I mean talk about his plans. So you know you wish transitions like one of those fairytale like tear time now. But again either way you know we talk about it you know that's the that's the talk goes you know but obviously you know he sees he's happy.

3:42:07Then one of the supporters. Yeah I think everybody leads on the wrong way you know not everybody's the brother guys come around. That's not everybody right like I think for me that's me specifically on game day with the O line after we do a little more like that's my like well I'm dead. Like that's my like the vocal time I feel like I'm talking about this you know just recently talking about how what I want to do for the run is I want to bring that home energy paper up right so last year of course I'm sure you do it for years but the year I spent my own he brought a lot of energy excitement and happiness in the room which is natural energy to where I really have to focus on me you know I don't have to make sure other other guys are you know feels the type of way when it came in here because hump brought that you know the hump's not here but I saw

3:43:10when you did for the room I want to be that guy to make sure it's amptical practice everybody's hype we're taking a built team on period you know it's a low day something you know it's a different but like I want to make it feel like home time like you're a pair of the trip I want to bring that because that's what we at hump did with each other I have each other do like to get walk or flip so I want to do that I want to bring that energy I want to make bring more guys you know I want to do that from day one you know I kind of I want to do that from day one from just talking to them and obviously it's that time I spend the off season before I'm today started just being in my self-esteem about what the room needs you know because I know I knew you were always one of the leaders you know my offense is that we need a guy like that is going to make sure the O-R is picked up

3:44:10ready to go every day I was held accountable things are having a practice and people are saying anything and how I believe maybe different than somebody else maybe you know I like to practice at least I could be positive you know I mean so but he the energy yeah would be on just though hype of the beyond so I was kind of how I would be going on I'm letting my whole life on again I felt team captain like specifically and I felt I wasn't captain of high school wasn't a captain of college but I want to make a joke on high school so I feel like I'm not going to be captain like it's that I felt but that would be awesome you know but you know that happens I'd be great but not either way I want to assume a role as a captain from the perspective of the OTA's onto the visual work and get back in that way yeah I mean I can't say that I mean I guess the biggest thing is that I felt

3:45:14it has felt like how you used to move past but it didn't take just the first LTAs it took training left and right once this season and because I know what was going to be the champion so I was like a lot of reps just to give back to feeling like myself what they want to use and then that whole first week but now like today specifically just changing some small things with my feet that is they're talking about the long coach about some things I'm doing my feet to get to that to sell my traditional angle that I love to sit on I thought I felt great already but I felt even better so I need more exercises tomorrow now I'm getting my feet back and how I like the right side and on the left side so I'm excited I mean obviously I feel like in the league whether I left the right there's still going against premier guys so obviously they have high expectations for the left hand on the tackle but definitely like the level of energy and like the expectation

3:46:18definitely taking the human strength because now can that be blindside that's the as the tackle well you know so yeah I would say in terms of communications far as this even outside of the facility just stuff like that like really crazy that tackle quarterback bond even more off the field I think has been something that's even cool I got the text one day I said hey you put it up I was like you know yeah I've been training both I've been training both I asked after the season they're like honestly you know we'll talk you some great season I just got a text on how do I have this with the free agency then so I was like you know what I have a whole season right tackle so if I get the word I'm going I'm standing right tackle I'm doing what I did before I'm building on that but I saw something I might as well as training the left tackle now as if I'm going to be left tackle and I'd rather do that than training on right

3:47:18tackle I don't wish I'd be you know what I mean so I'm like let me just prepare an advance I'll be out you know I think occasionally on third down there be a lot of twists I was just like it's automatic and I think that was my mindset for like the first half of the season like I didn't have to go into game with some positive I kind of figured like okay like this is this is the type of rush man again this is how this guy usually rushes I get the vibe this type of the ends like the rush you know tackles that I first see your guys you got the premium patch on already know what it was going to be already you know will be every step and honestly just knowing that's kind of an advantage to so you're not you're not you're not oh the problem twists my psych it was never air goblin that come out the my psych three plays in a two minute I do that you know what I mean I'm watching more everybody else and you really you know it goes out there occasionally third down I was like you know

3:48:18I'm sorry he's gonna pick me you know what I mean so that it's kind of it's also kind of an advantage in a way but it's also exciting I'm gonna give the hardest look you know so the real real reps you know the days really out on I would kind of process and I was like hey when they tell me let me know about I'm just gonna train it I was training all left so t.a.s I guess if I didn't hear anything about the days I came in like so you know what I mean because just like I'm cool training both continue I would be cool training both continually but I feel like anybody any position will feel like okay like you want to as soon as possible give your heat kind of settle it your hips settle it in your hands so then certain kind of what would have been harder than you work both very good you know but they're definitely but in terms of the

3:49:19development it's definitely a lot faster to stay on one side but I think having that the weeks that we had the transitional seasons over you better respond you know you know you know I was communicating with guys left and right you know for you know front office coaches teammates and all I care about is how I am with my teammates I don't want them to ever think I don't care about them or how I'm not in it and you know you can say whatever you want about me besides that but I always dedicate anything and I don't want that every question I said it felt like

3:50:24sometimes you were holding up somewhere watching film you texted below say hey you missed this or you want to be back well like the first day he was batting all of Russ's passes so I had to let him know you know I you got to take advantage of that you got to make sure guys are you know know that you still care and you still want to be a part of this you know just watching practice there's a couple of little things we're doing different whether I'm communicating with Dumbar or other people you know you know you know that you're also talking with him and you give him pointers during the off season just a constant communication how do you see who grows a person you know and how he's approaching things and how he's getting ready for this season. You know I think the thing with Keanu is he's more comfortable you know it's nice first time around the track you know it's actually like he can you know catch his feet under him you know I always think when you're in a rookie season you're going from bowl game I don't know Wisconsin play the bowl game sorry

3:51:24I don't even know but you know personally I just think when you go from bowl game to training for the combine to you know rookie minicamps OTA's the you know many can I mean to train the camp the regular season you really don't get a time to really catch yourself you know you understand to play book now you can be more vocal you know I think with my absence the other guys absence you know you need guys like that to step up and be ready for those things. So this is where you have the same you have during the season you have a more thorough what was just tightened down everything you know my left side because I was over-compensating a little bit but you know it was it wasn't anything that's lingers you know I'll say this a growing is not like an ACL it's not like anything's ever going to get affected again and you know you know feeling good able to do everything squat and heavy with power and speed so you know it feels good to get after you think of what the team was able to accomplish it's not

3:52:27a feat in terms of bringing guys like wrestling you know I think they're all good acquisitions but you know you never want to be known as a paper champ so you can't win the off season I think the work gets done out here on the field gets done in the classroom it gets done training you know and then you see where you're at in training camp and then you build on that you know I think we got the right guys in the building it's just about putting a completely month-to-month. Can't have technical reasons to separate the business part of the game in the actual football team. Oh you know you always want to you always have to treat it like a business part because you know one day it's going to end and that's a good job it's not like in college where you know you got four years guarantee well now you don't know what the NIL knows crap transfer portal portal but you know you have to I

3:53:29still have love for this game and I still work my tail off and I still put everything into it and that's not going to change but you have to know what you bring to the team and what your value is. Can't be able to be out there with your teammates today emotionally. Great you know we got a new training staff and still learning the warm up a little different but you know I loved it you know just getting after it learning new guys going through the same drills I've been doing by myself I actually like having more people around because like kind of go stir crazy when it's just you and another guy you're like damn I got to go back up for another rep already so you know it's nice to be up here and give a chance you know it was my awesome. Can we confident we'll get down with your emotion. Oh I'm going to try to remain pretty neutral because I want to be to be the

3:54:30way all I know is I want to be here but we'll see what happens. It's my last year here I've had a great career here but I look forward to to the next year. What's that second surgery you said at this time was on the left side was the first time around on the right side. Right side during the season left side and that was just tightening down my core muscle. It wasn't the same as my ad doctor you know you can ask Dr. Bradley Dr. Zuckerbron who did the surgery as well you know if anything is going to help me and you know make me a lot stronger from here on up. Tyson I've been training with him for the last eight years we've always trained together we got a trainer up north. Shout out cohaly he's my guy trained trained trained a heath miller breakeasel multitude of guys that I'll respect and we've just been getting

3:55:33after. Can we do very few guys historically 35 paid big contract and that's held against you. I think there's not a lot of history behind it but you know for me I look at as I'm not looking to be like anybody else you know my game is different from everybody else and sleep you know I like to think you know I can play the run in the past and that's where I'm different you know I remember last year Mike T just brought to my attention you know the thing that's really cool is you watch powerlifters and you know my game is built on power and technique and those guys go into the 40s and so you know that's what kind of research I'm doing behind the scenes but you know I will see what happens. There's not a lot of history but I'm here to make history and I'm here to win another super low gear and you know have a great season. Do you have a set goal for yourself or how many years you want to play in the future?

3:56:33You just take things here by the end. You know it was tough answering that question right after the season. I will say this guys I can't keep answering that question right after the season that is not fair to the season that's not fair to my family you know but in my mind I got three years and I want to maximize them I want to play at a high level and I want to go deep into playoffs and you know we got a good team and I'm going to do my part to be ready for all those situations. Do you plan on practicing when you report to the church or is it possible that you might fold in and of course in the issues? I have not even thought that far I've taken a day. Okay you know I told my agent and we talked about it and we were cool coming out here you know I'll be here for many and then I'll be there for training. I don't know what the work entails but when we get there we'll cross that bridge. Why would a guy bring you more? Remain a steel work with these three years.

3:57:34You know there was a conversation between me Omar and my team and there's certain guys there are one Helmagas and I want to be one of those one Helmagas and you know there's a hunger and desire there but that doesn't mean just hanging it up and calling it a career. To me I think you know I got more bullets to fire and I'm excited to do that. What's the meaning last one? Can you and Russell Wilson are going to be out there with what will pay men of the year? I saw Russ's on social media but I have been in the agency to see it. I like the surprise happens when it happens but you know it's cool to have another Walter Payton man of the year winner. I think it's an honor to be there and I'll say one thing I won't be here. I'm just telling you guys so it's not a big deal.

3:58:34I won't be here because I have to do a Walter Payton man of the year thing on Thursday so it's not like I'm skipping. But you know it's an honor to be with Russ and you know it's an honor of doing things in the community. Doing great work and you know the cool thing is as much as we get honored and nominated for these things the work doesn't stop. And I can see that with Russ's foundation we had an event for our foundation and my mom was quick to tell Russ hey we need the partner somehow. I was like mom let's just enjoy the event but you know it's really cool to be a part of a lead group. Thank you. Thank you. It's been good. I mean just trying to just a different way of play different terminology different. It's a whole different scheme so just learning how they want things done compared to how you used to do things is really the... So like being in that tight end room everybody's got that skills. Everybody's different but you all do some of the same things.

3:59:38Right. Yeah no it's a great room a lot of really good guys I've grown really close with a lot of those guys so everybody helps each other. A really nice learner from Dalton breadin those guys I mean Dalton's done it for a really long time so he helps me a lot with things that really aren't coachable things you know I mean. I mentioned what happened to family at the game but what about working out here at this high school. You're still in Ohio that you gotta feel good and I don't know if your high school is like this man it can't feel the focus. Yeah. I want to lecture tonight about the eighth of the size of this place. Yeah this is not like my high school but this is a healthy place but super cool to be home and just be back and give you a little sense of comfort I guess for me especially being my way for as long as I've been. So I was a man and I don't know where I'm from and you've been there. You've seen a bunch of black eyes fans and I've wanted to get your autographs and take a picture of you. I don't get I don't go out of the hole. I actually went home yesterday. I went back to the farm for a little bit which was great for a couple of days. He did with my family and stuff and see my grandparents and everything so it was good but I really haven't been out enough to know so I try and keep her inside.

4:00:41Yeah. Yeah. What do you think of your play that really showcases it so far? That's a good question. I don't think that's for me. I'm just trying to give. I mean every so I think you can be as you can play this game for 50 years and there's always going to be something you leave the field with like I wish I would have a better not area. I wish it would have been better some other you know what I mean like it's never going to be. This is absolutely perfect so like to me that's right right now the hardest part of this is just mental toughness of all I mean physical toughness. I mean you either have that or you don't my opinion so I mean I always felt like I was kind of bred in that area of the things and that's just kind of way happens naturally so just play after play that's kind of how we roll. Okay. Thank you guys. Yeah. We got to get you on the boat. Yeah I was growing immensely. I mean Kaleb he makes a lot of checks. Latham makes a lot of checks. I listen to them. Whatever they need. If I need to cover somebody out I will cover anybody. If they need me to do run support I'll do run support and it's really what Kaleb does.

4:01:41What we do and Latham it just goes back to the coach G's preparation and everyone's preparation to give us more flexibility and doesn't matter who's in those positions and we can all play every position whether it's covering somebody running running and tackling. Did you feel like that was the case before the Oregon game here. She had one of Sammy is something that's been added to it just go rely on a little bit more go ahead. Yeah it did. I was probably going to brass again me getting more safety reps and we had a five week to prepare so I really learned to play but a lot more even on the playbook I learned a lot more like in debt. You know so really just after the Oregon game it helped me a lot to go back to safety go go to nickel everywhere. You guys had a lot of issues of giving up big plays in the passing game of the first game against Oregon. What do you feel you guys need to do better this time around to make sure that doesn't happen? Just the same same mindset we got to challenge these receivers. You know every dog has her day maybe some people didn't have their day that that game but we'll look out there and hopefully change the narrative and we still play with the same confidence same technique and you know

4:02:55CalShe's own CEO says it himself. And yes two thirds of people on CalShe lose money. So what does it take to be in the other third? You have to do extensive amount of research to be good. There are people that spend copious amount of money time resources energy they've dedicated their lives to basically becoming good at it. All that and still. And yes two thirds of people on CalShe lose money. That's CalShe in their own CEO's words go to www.fairpredics.com to learn more ranked number one in innovation 11 consecutive years Arizona State University isn't just ahead of the curve. It's creating new paths to success learn from notable clinical and research faculty online. That's a degree better explore programs at ASU online. ASU.edu CalShe's own CEO says it himself. And yes two thirds of people on CalShe lose money. So what does it take to be in the other third? You have to do extensive amount of research to be good. There are people that spend copious amount of money time resources energy they've dedicated their lives to basically becoming good at it. All that and still. And yes two thirds of people on CalShe lose money.

4:04:05That's CalShe in their own CEO's words go to www.fairpredics.com to learn more. So what have you seen from him and how he's responded do you get a sense of from him how up he is for this rematch? Oh yeah he's super stoked for this rematch. His preparation has been very good. He's always been preparing even though it didn't go the way he wanted to go that game. But he just always had his confidence and we're going to see a big game out of him this week. You know I know you guys wanted to play them in anapolis but the fact that you get to play them at the Rose Bowl I mean get a second chance and people have said you don't get that very often. How determined are you guys taking advantage of it? We're super super determined we watch film. I mean we've lost a lot of film the first time we played them now we've got another six games that they played up film to watch. And as they've grown a lot as a team same as us we've grown a lot we're not the same team we were when we played them week one or weeks six or whatever.

4:05:10But now we're out there and going to play fast physical and everything like that. Jordan we're going to jump to the zoom question here from Joey Kaufman. What was this match? Oh my bad not you Joey Cameron T. Robinson the athletic. Hey Jordan you've moved around a lot in the second day in your career and now kind of getting some many more safety reps. What is it like at this point when Walt or coach knows comes to you and asks you do some else and just how much can you lean on the experiences you've had moving around when you're trying to learn something new in the middle of season. Me as a lot we always talk about this is being on selfish whether that's making plays or not making plays or doing your job so another person can make plays that's kind of what we pride ourselves on. And it's just fun me moving around different positions as I'm always up for a new challenge and a lot of people in the country can't do that. I just hold myself to that standard where I can play any position and excel at it.

4:06:14Okay anybody else need to question let me know but otherwise we can go to Austin more of the podcast. Jordan when you were talking about watching film Oregon which one do you think is more valuable to you watching that against yourself. Seven games ago you're going to change or the ensuing six games for Oregon which one do you put more stock in. Kind of both for me I kind of watch what I did things I did well things I didn't do too well against them and their team is not like this game has changed some players have been out those those stretch of games so I really watched the past can we played and I know they're going to go back to some of the stuff that they liked of course and different games like Penn State maybe Illinois they run a lot of men so just watching watching stuff like that every game matters so yeah. Jordan thank you very much thank you. Should I start with the foot I don't have to run game I haven't had in the passing game and really just stop getting our own way.

4:07:16CJ first couple weeks it looks like you've been having more comfortable with off script plays and taking more risks which you say that's something that's over the year for you. I mean yes and no you know I don't choose a run I run when I have to I feel like I am I job and I can't get out but you know I definitely you know try to read the defense to get my guys the ball because they're they're usually open every time so you know it's just up to the pocket and you know navigate and that trying to make my whole line right also you know if I have to extend the play. Did you guys started going to last year to know how much different the things feel this year not even the whole season of your belt would have been learned where you feel like you guys. Oh it's too I mean it was a lot worse than to know so you know I'm definitely grateful definitely you know blessed we playing this great game but you know it's definitely a lot of things we can clean up I think around the league and see that though you know what I mean a lot of sloppy ball you know some some teams playing better than others but I definitely know that you know

4:08:21section 4 was not what we put on the field today but you know at least in the second half would definitely be better for sure. You and you go connected on a couple of scrambled real style plays is that something you guys work on active plays that would come focus of yours. No it's just two guys out there making plays you know we have a drill that we do our practice that you know it does help those things but you know trying to just be two guys be dynamic players. You're going to not wait. Yeah for sure I think me and Nico we've always had a good relationship and always you know you read each other well on the field but I think even now you know we'll take the next steps and you can see you know step get involved more tank get involved and brave we're just trying to spread it around you know and we have so many dynamic players so you know it's a good problem to have. You know obviously you know all two are better than that nature how do you balance that like the wind but you said you like to put on Texans football how do you kind of balance on the correct order mistakes but also you know

4:09:26celebrating the way that you guys just had today. I'm happy of course I'm not satisfied I'll never be satisfied there's always things that you can point out we're not going to let one half the football make make us put our heads and we're going to stay confident we're going to stay taking shots we're going to stay you know betting on us so I definitely you know understand you know we need to be better but you know like you said winning is number one so we won and now it's time to move on and get better. Can you talk a little bit about what I mean is meant to the team over these past two weeks and as a quarterback as an offense does having a kicker that can hit from long range like that consistency if you guys a little bit of extra confidence you know once you get over 50. Yeah any guys in his name super happy and proud of him and you broke a record today or something like that so you know we definitely need him you know all points are big points and I definitely think like the preparation and just

4:10:27who he is at practice you know you can you know that he's going to knock it down just because how hard he is on himself down practice and you know it was a great job I especially teams today blocking it also you know point time doing his job as well so you know it takes three phases for water and for walking. All right here's a look at those numbers I promised it was not long 4 6 0 2 now through 17 career games remember is the couple a year ago due to that concussion so reaches his full quote unquote first season at least from a game standpoint here in week two of year two. Trout when we looking up at a few.

4:12:34copious amount of money time resources energy they dedicated their lives to basically becoming good at it all that and still and yes two thirds of people on Calhoun lose money lose money lose money that's Calhoun in their own CEO's words go to www.fairpredics.com to learn more it's different for me I'm really like a ball player type of guy not very not the most how going in both group but you're not talking I realize that people listen so just taking more of that type of aspect into my game just you know making me more complete as a football player I'm really looking for how to see maybe change a little bit with coach hard line and a bit of a different role and maybe whether it be other coaches coach Jordan or players stepping up to have a big bathroom I want to say a change much he's still super involved he always tries to stay engaged with us guys I mean he's the ocean now and he's more skimmed schematic and everything now but he's still keeping that relationship strong with us and still really in there with the silver coin and shout out to Coach Jordan as long as stepping up taking the ball

4:13:49coach Jordan's better huge factor in our lunch inside the air so it's big cross the coach doing everything he's been. I do feel like the spring's gone for you obviously you've done this now just what have you taken from us? I'm extremely comfortable super confident in my ability to do what I do just building this buddy that trust with my quarterback just pretty much what I came in when I do just let him know that they got it they got to revive me off to another third chain next time and you know just establishing that showing me like I said earlier to show my young guys foundation example and what to come in and do and what's the expectation? I'll give you a real value I share for me did you caught me? Yeah obviously trusted you to serve extent. How long have you felt yourself building that trust? I think it's been good just being more vocal with them guys as well me and Bill are very vocal even in practice a lot of times just things they go my way in the game but even in practice a lot.

4:14:49Yeah take care. I was very comfortable with Bill. More vocal guys but working in that arm of a quarterback now and we're doing a little job just going to the sea losing. Taking our feedback and having more criticism but just because we love and we love to do it so just doing that and just keep growing on that all the way to fall and all the intensity and resistance. You are doing some more outside for you as well? Yeah I've been more the more years you get under your belt for the more experience you get you start knowing this offense more and more not just your position or what you're doing or like everybody's what you're doing how you're doing and why you're doing it. I mean I've been rapping outside ZXH anywhere coach Hong Hong news media just really be that guy and go make a play on it. What's the biggest difference for you between outside and outside? The pace. A route concept you can kind of get the pace you can play within the slides more for next game in the slide. Something I got very comfortable with. Just the ways you can attack the defense I think.

4:15:49You know conceptually and also just you're placed down. But I mean just doing both and just making me a better guy for the NFL and that's what coach Hong Hong is doing at the time. I produce it on the NFL talent and I produce it on the NFL guy. I'm feeling very comfortable with that. Do you have to have a different mindset as a slight receive because of what's going on? Absolutely. I think it's more thinking. I think it's more of a yet to have understand another game a lot. In the slide you've got to have a feel. This is natural. I feel like it's more natural condition. On the outside it's just more you know get different things and see different coverage and see different player types and corners and nickel bats and safeties more in the slide. Just seeing how you can attack knowing a person now and how you can attack some people is I say the biggest difference. Do you have that more courage? You have that more courage in the slide? Oh yeah absolutely. It's basically like being myself in the slide faster. My skinnier guy than when I put hands on and when I get physical with you but you just got to match that and just let them know that you there too.

4:16:51You as a ballast question, whatever gets you on to your regardless inside outside. I'm just willing to make plays and show one one the best for you as an America. So if that's in the outside, that's in the inside. Whatever coach Hong Hong in this team needs me help us land and show them one the best for you as an America. I like it right here. At that time, you go back to zero zero. They scored a thing in a half. We knew they got the ball back. The defense wasn't quite happy that they gave that touchdown to end and we knew they get in the ball back coming out but we was excited because we knew the job wasn't doing it. Bill Rebellion, Columbus, this back. You were a five star guy and that coming up. All these guys in the room almost were five star guys and then there's Jeremiah. Is he like, does he like all you guys in the room? I mean, I'm not sure it's probably something you got to ask him but you know, Jeremiah has played with a lot of great guys throughout his career. He's seen a lot of all the talent you can see in the world.

4:17:55But I don't know if he's ever in all but I mean, you went all in my oh yeah, I mean, I'm not surprised at anything he does now. Like I've seen him. We were nine years old. So anything he does any one hand catch. I've seen. I'm not surprised at anything he does. When he was nine, did you know this is not a, this is something special we've met. Any of the nine? Oh yeah, I mean, coaches were coming up to us complaining that we were nine years old. Like can we can we get their IDs and stuff like that? So I mean, I mean, there's definitely some footage that we got to go find but the place we used to make when we were younger and just to see where he is now is amazing. It seems very unaffected by all the starter. How does that happen? I think how he was raised. He's very level-headed. He knows his goals and what he wants to get done in life and this is just one step of the way for him. Can I throw a back to Texas for a couple questions on Zoom, Scotty? Yes, sir. We're going to start with Defond from Cleveland.com. Go ahead.

4:19:00Brandon, I want to go back to what you were talking about with Coach Day earlier. You know, whenever he talks about this team success, he says all the credit goes through players. It seems like the players think that he deserves some of the credit. How big, how influential has he been during the turnaround you guys have had these last few weeks? CalShe's own CEO says it himself. And he has two thirds of people on CalShe lose money. So what does it take to be in the other third? You have to do extensive amount of research to be good. There are people that spend the copious amount of money, time, resources, energy. They've dedicated their lives to basically becoming good at it. All that and still. And he has two thirds of people on CalShe lose money. That's CalShe in their own CEOs words. Go to www.fairpredics.com to learn more. Ranked number one in innovation, 11th consecutive years.

We had a leadership meeting. He was in here. And then we had a team meeting after that. Hearing the stuff he had to say. We had to say, going back and forth, we knew we would have his back no matter what. I mean, there's a lot of stuff set about him and his family and stuff like that. But we're a brotherhood and we're a family. And we're going to stand by him no matter what. Our next question is going to come from Dan. Hope Dan, go ahead. Brandon, I mean, I'm sure you came in here to Ohio State thinking you'd probably be starting here in your second year. But it seems like you really embraced the growth process. Just what's kind of that process that like for you of kind of embracing your role this season and continuing to develop?

4:21:09Yeah. In life, things doesn't go the way you exactly planted, too. And that just happened. Things happened to Mecca last year that allowed him to come back and that allowed me to learn more. And that's just how I see it. It makes me a better football player for the future. So yeah, I mean, yeah, let's see that. Three more on Zoom. Next one's going to come from Stefan Means. Go ahead. Yeah, you're good. But Brandon, there are a lot of clips of you this year where you're super, super excited after a block. And kind of showing your emotion there. What about blocking do you love so much as a receiver? Just being able to hit another guy with all my power, the hardest I can without any get any consequences. Except if you accept a few hold, of course, but yeah, just bringing that power. I mean, I heard some of the defensive guys telling me yesterday.

4:22:16They were like, bro, I hate to go against you. So knowing that from the defensive guys. So I know what the other defensive guys are thinking like, just keep bringing it so that they they're not going to like it for four quarters. That's my mindset. Next question is going to come from Danny Davis. Danny go ahead. Brandon, what are your impressions of these Texas defensive backs and this kind of we've seen from them on film so far? Yeah, the last couple of days we watched them, they're fast team. They don't give up many big plays down field. They're aggressive, but I actually know some of the DB's they have at corner there. Oh, my play with them. Oh, well, I played with Mollick Muhammad at SFE. So I might know him a little bit and we have been watching them. They're fast team. They're physical. They're disciplined. But we just got to get the job. Give any Malik stories or any any. What is that?

4:23:16Give any Malik stories or anything you remember about playing with them. Yeah, but I'm not going to say them here. Yeah, we'll just keep that. Our final question is going to come from Kurt Bulls. Kurt, go ahead. Hey, Brandon. One of the issues Texas has had the second half of the year is it's finishing. And what if you can speak to and they had a trouble obviously in the peach bowl, you know, blue was 16 point leak. Can you talk about finishing and having a killer instinct and you guys obviously seem to have that now? Yeah, I think that started and offseason training at fall camp. We always say go plus two. If you're doing a 10 yard pro shuttle to a yet to go plus two throughout the line and that's just finishing up as well. And then fall camp, we had these long two and a half hour practices or whatnot. And then we came out and we had to do these finishers. And then ask for games waiting a year like this. And we, I think Coach Day has a great, did a great job preparing all of us for these moments.

4:24:22And yeah, we just were ready to go. We have time for just a couple more questions and clumpets so we can wrap up with our other two guys. Bill Landis, Kings of the North. Brandon, maybe on the second touchdown run. It seemed like you took two players out of the play first with your release and then with the guy you actually blocked. Is that how it's designed? Or was it just lucky to the guy decided to take off inside of the release? It's actually designed for me to block the safety and lead the corner one on one with the running back. But I was surprised that the corner actually came in so far. I'm not at least I think he thought it was a pass. But I think he was the edge of the defense. If you go watch that play, but I don't know. I don't really know why he came in so far. I think it helped out for us and I made my block into a real score. Are there any lessons there for like, even a young receiver watching that that even if you know him a play, you're not getting the ball. You're, you're intended to block, but you, your release has to be, at all point, like as if you're going to go pitch pass.

4:25:22Yeah, definitely. Every little detail matters and then type of plays. We were in a red zone there. So we say every yard matters is two yards. So the block I made is just a testament to Kyle coach hardlines, print me throughout the week to make that block. And final question. Joy Conference, Columbus Dispatch. And it will and then this has been some of the ball deep well lately, especially the way you guys have opened games. What do you think is this quick for you guys and for him and watching those plays? I think we had a lot more confidence. I say throughout the year, we were always there as offense. We had, we didn't quite know our identity. And now slowly but surely I think we found that and we're going to keep on rolling. And he's made some great throws and yeah. I'm sorry, Brandon, I do have one more steep. That one you do the 24-7 score. Brandon, there have been opportunities for you to play a huge role on offense. And you know, the number of plays you play in game can differ from one week to the next.

4:26:24But the opportunity is coming sooner rather than later for you to be in every down player. Just one of the things you need to do in your game to take it to where it is now to be in every down guy. I think there's a lot of things I could work on in my game. I would say continuing to be football smart by IQ. Just knowing what the defense is going to do before they do it. About routes, always can get better. My hands always can get better staying in the jug machine. Work ethic, keep on top of it. Don't get satisfied with anything I do. And don't get too big, don't get too low, don't get too high, don't get too low. That's what they say. Do you feel like a guy that the people follow, it seems like, in your mind, even the second you're guy that you're working toward being a leadership type guy? To have guys that will take that role. It's a great feeling, of course. No guys are watching what you do and listening to what you do.

4:27:25But I just feel like we do that with a lot of players here and not just myself. But the leadership we have on this team is like no other. And that's what I've got so far, I think. Brandon, thank you very much. Not knowing anything but to go hard and put his head down. I'm super, super proud of Will. And I think we kind of feed off each other. He was a lowly or under recruited guy out of high school. So he always knows this is to go hard and what that looks like. So I'm proud of him now. What do you think Max is going to ask for? A lot of skill. I mean, the guy, he fits the room, personality wise. Johnny will tell you that. He's fun to be around. He's an outstanding ground runner. And he's, he wants to get better. He's hungry. So he's a great addition. I think a lot of people from the outside will see a new guy come in and you guys have two or five guys who feel like they can get reps too. Maybe some people want to follow some of these guys. Why would you guys say why is this group so deep and steady, even though you guys brought in the guy? Yeah, I mean, I think it's just a testament to like how strong his brotherhood is.

4:28:26When a coach told us that we were bringing him in the bags, I just, I thought it was a great opportunity for me to, I can worship stuff. And he's a great player. And I already have the resource stuff for me and Will. I think now we are really good guys in the room. We just stay fresh. I can try there and ultimately become the best players we can be. I think it was, was it late? We said, yeah, I saw that. Like take him. I'm sure you're not watching pretty soft. You guys can get ready. But how quick did you kind of realize that? Like this guy's legit. Like you see the numbers. You see the number one. You realize like this guy's real good. But what I bet on the first day, he was a class act. And for me, I think character is a big thing. I had a really medical football player. It doesn't have good characters. And I bet on the first day I knew that he was a hard worker. He came in here just grinding. And you know, it's showing right now in the field. It's going great. What do you have to do to get better at the surface? Yeah, I mean, I just, I'm not really focused on specific areas.

4:29:28I was going to become a more polished outrunner. And to get better at blocking and to get better at past protection. So real I'm just working on everything man and hopefully, you know, to get all of this together. I think I have a really good year. Does it feel good to have the only touchdown catch from one of the quarterbacks? Yeah, I told you. Yeah, yeah, that was cool. I was a cool man with that within. How's that been working with Jordan and Lincoln? You guys were so close. Yeah, it's great. I remember when Lincoln first got here. I was dragging him out to the fields, throw with me. So me and Lincoln go way back. I'm 41st got here. I love Julian. And even Tavy is coming in and he's, he's impressed me. There's been a lot of talk about the quarterback. Is this any leadership that could just want to see? I mean, how are you seeing those three guys coming to marriage? You know, eyes leaders and is it at home? Yeah, I think they at first weren't nowhere near as vocal as Will was when Will got here. I think they're really stepping up in that role and it's really good to see.

4:30:32All right. Thank you guys. I mean, just how it was raised, I just know how to work. That's all I had to do. Just give an effort and just going east out of it. I want to say this with full respect. When we see JJ and Sonny, it's like, that makes sense. When you're the third guy, were you surprised to be named? What puts you in that same category? Yeah, I was a little surprised. I kind of have feeling because like, you kind of like, I mean, I kind of could have guessed it. But like, I just knew that I was one of my goal to toss him behind Buckeye and I just put in the work that was in the middle. So what did you get in now? What did you mean? How did you take it? It was really special right after a text in a parents. They really knew what it meant until like the video came out and the question explained it to us. So then absolutely. Back then, when you were playing football, then right now, in games, did you think you'd tell the difficulties of going back and forth?

4:31:36Not just like we were learning them, but actually having to play both of those five. Yeah, it's pretty difficult, especially during the game. You have to put your whole mind around. It's a lot easier in practice because it's like in like several down, but like going back to my end game. It's pretty hard, but like in high school, like I was, it was every other player I was in backfield with the triple-out. So like I knew, I knew it. I was comfortable with it. And sometimes I just take it, but I'm walking to the line, sometimes I'm scrimmage out of like, say it to be the same player in the game. Again, I mean, sometimes I get into my head. I bring in two back, and then I throw down the ring, and then I try to find where they're at. And then you throw it out, and you set it in my back, and I try to out it. And then you try to get it in my back. Yeah, so like I got to set the example. And then like my first two weeks here, I was like teaching them, like I don't know what they're expecting these players, because I've seen some new players for them. And even new defense, like technique two, I can't keep the same technique, but just helping them out, because we need them.

4:32:40What do you like when did the idea of playing backfield kind of come about? They do it about like rap, the season, they do it with the coach, the bowling game, what did you think when they had a backfield like come about? It came close to springtime. They wanted to have, they just wanted to have a good fight out there, and they don't play the best, so they just didn't get the chance. What do you like to do all the time? Awesome, they're great. A lot of eyes, it's awesome, because everyone's watching something. It's not like someone's only watching this place, so you know what's going on. I got to feedback to see it, after the play, after the practice, all three off-world. It's awesome. They tell you like everything, because they know what's left side ahead, like coach Johnson, coach Dickie's watching left, and coach the one who feels the right film. So like you know what's going on, it's funny. What's the positive experience that you got at the big reps and the big games, all that helps, it was like coming into the sun? It really boosts my confidence, and I can lead the young guys too, because I know it was going on, because they really don't really miss this first time spring,

4:33:43so they like to be on the road. Where's the toldy has also been mentioned a lot, it's been all both sides of all playing in different spots, you can elaborate on that. Yeah, I can beat that question one more time. Can you just talk about the versatility that coach Jason's talking about a lot about that, so I said, well, you guys in different spots, being able to win. Yeah, so like, you all see it in last year, we lost two, stars, all-maring stars, so like really guys need to stepped up, and like going to season, I didn't know I was going to be playing a start left guard, and I didn't really know I was going to bounce over the right, and what a donny knew is when bounce out the tackle, so like it really helps everyone. I think a lot of guys in season are playing multiple positions, and it's going to help us in multiple positions. But if you learn from Donny and Jogger, then it's that and all that. Just like technique wise, they really helped me like, pretty snap stuff, and like, no one in my life was going to, what's your guys' type of enemy, a great place for something like that.

4:34:45Thank you, thank you. That's all we got to motivate him more, so it's fuel to the fire, which I think is good for us having into this week. What was the first moment that you saw him at the Thelas? This could be something. I would say probably just his mindset, not even obviously he's a freak when it comes to...

His body and stuff like that, just his physical nature, but I think just his mindset the way he approached the weight room didn't really seem like a way of freshman wood. He was our only freshman ever to receive an iron buck-eye reward, which is something I was pushing towards my entire time being here. But it takes another level of doing to be able to receive that reward, especially as a freshman. That's when I knew. Steve, what do you mean? More on that. When you and Mara first got here, Gary and Chris were adamant about the way that you guys, even as freshmen, were pushing two guys who were about to be first round round fixed. And then Mara said the same thing about Cardinal and Brandon last year.

4:36:46How did JJ push you guys when he first got here as the young guy? And now you guys are the older guys? Yeah, I would say it's very similar. It's kind of the same exact thing. I don't know what it is about the culture and all the things, but we keep bringing in these type of people you're in and you're out of that. That's what makes our room so great. But I think that something that JJ was able to push me in was just, you know, he was able to push me in my leadership. I needed to grow in that aspect, but he also was able to challenge me when it came to the weight room and on the field. Because we were always paired together when it came to summer and when our workouts were always lifting together. You know, I get a couple of wins. He get a couple of wins. So it was really that next level step of competitiveness that I needed and that edge that I needed. That Murphy, 24-7-4? You guys came into the Tennessee game with a lot of outside motivation with Michigan loss and kind of the three weeks talk. I know obviously there's still not motivation to go on and win a national championship, but how do you keep that kind of edge to a better term mentally after some of that stuff has kind of gone away following the big win?

4:37:53I would say kind of if you lose your edge, I wouldn't really call you a true competitor. I think that, you know, the way with the college football playoffs is structured. The intensity cranks every single week. So if you're not more intense than you were the last week, then something's wrong with you. I think that, you know, Tennessee was a great win, great for our momentum, but we have our full focus on Oregon. Not worrying about anything in the past, nothing in the future, our full focus is towards this game. And then, you know, we win this one, we go on to the next one, our full focus is going to be on that one. So it's just, you keep moving down a ladder like this. Step on cranks, please don't drop down. Mecha, there's been a lot of change in college football in the playoffs and they play off into that nature. But, you know, the way in some of you and some of your teammates and coaches talk about the Rose Bowl seems like that's one game that's really, you know, maintained a lot of that tradition. You play the net, you know, what it's about. Could you explain it to, you know, also, you would never have a chance to play the Rose Bowl. Does maintain, you know, that level of respect for the players and coaches. Yeah, I think, I don't know, there's just something about it. Something in the air down there in Pasadena. It's just a beautiful venue, especially that time of the year.

4:38:55Like you said, the tradition is held year in and year out. And it's kind of the game you dream of playing in when you're a little kid, you know, playing back your football with your friends. The Rose Bowl is always one that tends to come up. So just having a chance to play in it is definitely very surreal. And this is going to be my second time. So I'm going to do my best to take it all in while also being fully focused on Oregon. Dan, let me worry. Matthew Will said he still has nightmares about that first game of Oregon. Just what kind of drive you seem to him this week wanting to get back to this one? Yeah, Will is a, he's a laser focused person. He goes about his business. I mean, he's very loose and he's very calm and he's able to rally the team. But you can see it in his eyes that this game means everything to him. So every single practice, every single huddle, making sure we're sharp, making sure we have a better practice than we had last. Then yesterday, a better practice in Oregon is having. So his full focus is on being this team. And, you know, obviously it's hard not to think about the stuff of the past, but I know he's laser focused on what we got coming up.

4:39:57Tommy Gergen, Bucket Hill. Matthew, when you were a kid playing back here, I drove about to gain what team we played for. Honestly, I wasn't, I was never really a. A buck I fan until, you know, I really committed here and I saw what it was all about. I was actually an Oregon fan growing up, especially on the Pacific Northwest. You know, my grandpa went to UW and stuff like that. So I like the Huskies too, but there was a legendary football player named Foto Liatto from my high school. And he went to Oregon and a couple of y'all probably know that story. So I'm a couple of years back, but he tragically died in the car accident. And, you know, he was, he was someone I looked up to in high school. You know, I was relatively close with him even though he was a bit older than me in age. But I'm just seeing what he did at my high school and then going on to play big time football out Oregon. That was a school that I really dreamed of going to. He built a bit like, on the back. I think that's another Jeremiah question. Is there one moment, one play, one something that made you go, oh man, I've never seen it happen before.

4:41:02That's just incredible. Yeah, I'll say it's happened multiple times. There's not really one, I can pinpoint, but the more he does it, the more I tend to react less. So I would say probably my earliest memories of it were in spring ball. Kind of getting the first glimpse of him when he's making all these ridiculous catches. And he still does it time and time again, even now, but it's just more common now for me. Ranked number one in innovation, 11th consecutive years.

New land is one of the things that's taken to the north. I think you had 12 touches in the first game against 4th and 10 receptions, two carries. There's something about this matchup that favors you, where that productive, the first time you played this team, what kind of attention, or I guess maybe different defenses, are you expecting to see? Yeah, I mean, we're not entirely sure what their game plan is going to be, but we're prepared for everything. You know, I'm not going to get too much into scheme and stuff like that, but we know that if the ball comes our way, we've got to make those plays. So whether I have 10 receptions again coming up this game where I have zero or one, we're just looking to get this win on the road, because it's really a road game for us, you know, flying across two times zones.

4:43:06I think that, you know, it's going to be a great matchup, whether they tend to focus on me more or not. It doesn't really matter to me, because I know our team has a great plan regardless. That time for a couple more questions, central, home work, letter, and roll. You guys ever surprised when the game ended? You were especially current also when you asked me to order two matches. You can kind of feel it throughout the game, I would say. You know, he's a true competitor. He wants to get involved, but at the same time, he's super selfless. I mean, he's really humble, so he's going to do whatever it takes for the team to get a win. But it's the competitor nature, and that wants to contribute as much as he can. So, you know, I try to be in his ear to tell him to be levelhead and stuff like that, not that I need to. He's a very level-headed and selfless guy, like I'm saying. But, you know, sometimes that's just how the game goes. You know, I had a game this year where I only had one catch, but, you know, we ended up winning by lot. So, I think that, you know, it's hard, or it's easy to be focused on the personal attributes that you could have gaming and game out. But no one's really going to remember those if we're holding up the trophy at the end of the year.

4:44:06He could be a number one, one, many, 95 percent of the boss who's right now, but he's like the number three. Can you see his work that they call those things that he knows that they're going to play? You guys ever come behind him like, yeah, this guy can absolutely be a number one, the most powerful boss in the world. I would disagree with you. I think that he is a number one. I think that we don't have a number three receiver. I think we have three number one receivers out there. So, whatever the defense, you know, if they want to put their attention on one guy or a couple of us, they're not really doing themselves any favor because we're going to have a favorable matchup on the other side of the ball. So, that's never how we view ourselves. We know we're alpha dogs out there. Every single one of us knows we have the capabilities of being a number one receiver, and we are number one receivers. And final question. Steve, how long has 24.000 sports? Yeah, and McAthena that game, he made one of the clutch plays that passed down the sideline. At any time, when you make that play, you think, did you ever, your mind, we're going to win this game after we're now close to field goal range. I mean, did that play in your mind say, my goodness, we've got a chance to get out of here with the win.

4:45:09Yeah, I definitely knew where I caught the ball and I knew we were, you know, closer being in field goal range. So, you know, there was a sense of, you know, I knew I knew it was a big play that I made, but in those moments, you have to finish off the game no matter what. You can't get a big head. You can't get complacent. You have to finish the game until the clock hits zero. So, that's something we've been working on, you know, we work on two minutes every single Wednesday. Every single Wednesday practice, so today we'll work on our two minutes. And we don't even call it two minutes. We call it clutch because in those times, in those games, in those big moments, someone has to make a clutch play. So, we're focusing on that every single game, knowing that we're going to have to make one of those plays coming down the stretch here. What it mean if you're able to finish this one off and get to the final four of this playoff? Just what in your mind just would this be, you know, just the ultimate, I suppose, to be a team that's already beaten earlier this year? No, I think the ultimate would be winning the national championship. So, you know, we're focused on this. This just happens to be the next team in the way.

4:46:09We're not focused on when we played them earlier this year, whether they got the win over us. They're just a nameless, faceless opponent. So, we're going out there fully prepared, not worried about what's happening in the past. You know, we played them before, we felt them out. So, it's all about who got better from that point in time until now. A message, thank you. Thank you. We're a little bit by committee in the back, back in on part returning. Brandon, and this is there. Mech is there. We really have a few guys back there we can use. You know, I think they'll see a couple of them there. But in terms of kickoff return, Jay and Boudre will do the first kickoff. We'll go for that. You know, with Bench. Well, again, you know, it's coach speaks for a reason, but it's true. It's about our standard.

4:47:09standard and what is our standard we want everybody to grade out over 80% you heard us talk about that champions and that's that's a big part of it and then be the hardest playing team in the country so if it's truly not about our opponent and we really embrace that then it shouldn't happen. You know we have to respect everybody we play against we have to respect the mean we have to respect the fact that we only have 12 Saturdays in the regular season every year I mean these are precious opportunities for all the work that goes in you know to think that a game would be under value I mean that's not even on anybody's radar right now you know we have a certain standard that we have to play with we want to come into this game and you know set the tone for the season that that's our goal and we come in on Sunday and figure out what's right but every season is different you know this this season is what it is and but that doesn't change our approach into the first game other than you know just have a different people guys out there and I think with this group we do have some experienced guys that have played a lot of

4:48:10football we also have some guys who are excited to see on the field you've got guys like Will Howard and Caleb Downs and Quinchon Jenkins and we have some guys that we haven't seen Will Kazmarin so I think we're all excited to see what those guys look like in a game and see how they gel with the team. I don't think anybody forgot about what a great player Mecca Bukh is but seeing him out there healthy is just so exciting and so energetic for our entire offense it just is I mean he's a warrior he's a great player and so not only do people feel his play out there but they also feel his maturity he's been like that since he's got here though yeah this is not one of those things we just matured last couple years he came in the grown man and he's continued to have an impact

4:49:13on the entire team and nobody was more frustrated than him last year not being able to be 100% so it was great to see him elected a captain especially you know we had a lot of guys that could have been captain but but great to see him elected captain by his peers and I know he's excited to be 100% going on Saturday and you know start to season up the right way. It's three days till the open and I'm just one you've heard of bios or more some more than if you're having high-roars to be more set of courtship Kelly you know what I mean it's three days now he's going to be calling the players yes I'm saying yeah right are you still getting used to that any with grain you know I'm I'm different so I gotta be playing with it. I'm excited I'm excited it's um I'm again you got a long way to go and there's a lot of storms coming and you know nothing's going to be easy it just isn't it's just the way the game of football is but I do like the way the offensive staff has come together I like the way they're working together chip has been great with the staff you know he's he's got ideas he's got a different perspective that things are going to look a little different but he's also embraced

4:50:14who we are as an offensive what we do I think Brian Hartline has been unbelievable just in the day to day what he brings and Justin Fry you know he and Tim Dreb know they they've done a nice job working together I mean I think it's a good move together I think we all work together but you know it's going to be a long road so that chemistry is going to be very important but on the defensive side again I feel that same chemistry I think the staff is strong right now and it has to be because you know we're in for a long road here. Last question Cameron T. Roberts. It does allow you to step back and just perceive things differently you just notice things different you're able to put your arm around some players and have a conversation with them much more involved in special team which has been exciting and that allows me to coach some of

4:51:18the guys on defense I think the guys feel that part of it being able to sit in on other meetings it has been good even if you know I don't have a lot of input just to be in the room and give a little feedback here in the air even on the defensive side to say you know here's how the offense is approaching this this is this is that perspective so that's been great a little bit more time to myself where I can get my thoughts together on how I want to message the team and areas that I want to make sure I'm challenging the staff with and the staff meetings so I think all that's allowed me to do that which you know and I think it's it's helped the team out I think it's helped the culture out I think the coaches you know feel good about that part of it but the chip is has been great and you know there's there's a lot of inputs from everybody on that staff together I think that's what makes great chip a great coach is you know he he trusts the staff and the guys that are around them but he also is firmly believes in something. Thank you coach thank you very much. The leader of the team.

4:52:25Just being a share my experience I think being an older guy a lot of the other guys look up to the older guys so just being able to share my experience and being able to teach the guys in class and I have mixed with other players so I think it applies to me just pretty much just because I don't like it. I'll talk to him as well I just let my play do what it does so I have the same us bro have you feel I'm in the field. What is it about the Hamilton Brothers that don't talk much but let their play. You know what the talking about where's that comes from. I think it just comes from just demeanor just you know it's talking a lot really mess up what's going on and it takes me to something like that so being able to just hone in and be able to play and then doing let's talk and let your play and make you feel happy. We'll have this bigger impact on what you see. What's the best advice you ever got from your big brother older brother. I mean I think yeah basically very much is like saying this is your other day as you need. You know every day is not promised you know it could be over in the instance of being able to take

4:53:26myself from the field of this little day enjoying every single day no matter how hard it is or pain I'm just starting to show you that I'm here and these days are just like. Yeah I'm no if actually this couple of times in the last couple of years but why is it that jump came on not in the late but y'all weren't here in the age of my life. In fact if it's stand for getting on the field of the world why is it jump care came on late time both you and the brothers. Um I think you just got a lot of time with the guys here so I mean it's hard to be on the field but like it's hard to understand like being here I'm trying with great players you know sometimes it's a trap where you won't but just be able to understand that you're trying to spend with so like when I got my time to be able to take a badge or a flange dance and now that I'm here I'm just being able to pull in and stand and take time really take the edge and take a granted. I just like to say that you get a feel for like um a she and the speed away from place to come and if you know what's coming up you can't really like anticipate what you want to know what is coming what you know is a trap dance.

4:54:30So I'm honestly like in general it was obviously my first say it was like what did it just happen? Um so that was awesome that obviously gave me the returning point to like just show the word that I should play and then the one player in Wisconsin uh he was like we need to hear a believe play it's about you definitely I feel like I mean that maybe it's just me but you definitely kind of nervous when you like get it ready for it but once you know whistle is grown you just locked in you ride back on the practice what you're doing in practice and then you can do the life so you can go happy in the game. What are your thoughts on a screen game and a network tell us this kind of wild the way the game is going your thoughts on something. Uh so notice respect to any TV or something like honestly I don't care um it's not the practice we have as a team and I think I'm sure the rest of the team feels the same way we don't care about the camera since oh nice and flashy but we're about to grind

4:55:34we're about to practice and know you're getting ready to achieve at the end of the season. And this Saturday is a different practice to depreciation. What's that they like for you guys going to have a good run of time? So it's great I've seen like familiar faces obviously um I mean I don't get any pressure about it because it's just not. I'm not going to let it disappoints how I'm played or how I practice when you tell it to get into the past and say it's the way I have it. But not here's the place for the number one or one or two team so I could not have that in the later I'm so yeah um that was awesome. I don't know what happened exactly but got out of way for me and I followed it and I'm actually and she's obviously under that right now. Who did that path for good too? So after his first scholarship I was still in Germany. I was working with the guy who's uh trying to Ben and Collier um that was really like

4:56:37turning point he was like hey hero Mike you got to figure something out. And he's like what you're thinking was that? And you might get to go to high school in America. Yeah I do it but I don't know how the mom feels about it. Yeah but somebody saw me he that this is so good. Yeah. This was possible right? Go ahead and we did did you buy it at first? At first I was a little like how do you say English? Fabric acid? And I was honestly like um it sounds like wow this is real. It took me a couple days to the process and then I was prepared to hear whatever it takes. One to America and you know the thing my season there was the rest of history. Yeah I just want to go back to 55 Junior basically every place in boxing matches. Did you have to grow into that? Bring in the Nasty Street six weeks. I feel like we said that didn't you? I think I'm naturally like a nice guy and Collier definitely had to push a little bit. Um so I think he did a great job of fighting just being out of here. I had a time he had time to work with me now for two years and even two years.

4:57:40Um we're treating so I think he did a great job. What was your main sport? Oh soccer. Okay. I'm good with you. I was pretty good. I was really good. I was getting recruited by major teams there when I was um yeah I mean it's a go-fi. So what was your interest in America football? You know you kind of you kind of grow the sport like like 64 and like 250. Um so just football is different in soccer. Soccer I don't want to disrespect anybody here but it's a little bit softer so it's to hit somebody somebody like may fall or fall. I didn't like that because I got a lot of times in this fake. I didn't like the whole mentality so I was like having something new. And at the same moment football came into my life so I've really come into your life. So I live in a small village maybe 200 people, 400 people. Um there's one guy he was in Heistman went to Heistman for Homa he was in his field of conqueror and um he was with Ben in his well so Ben called me like a FBI. So he he really got me into it.

4:58:42I was I lived right next to the soccer field and he was throwing the football I was just in a playing soccer and I was like I'm trying to. It's how I got into it. He kind of feeling it's abandoned. Okay. I mean actually off the wall your name. That's you know the reason behind that name or how you got me. So it was kind of like my family was like trying to figure out an Anthony. It's something with these just my brothers name is David my sister name is Deborah and my mom is just a damning or something like that. And at that he's a very religious guy. He was like the same sweet guy. Women. He didn't like it. He said to me I don't wear. But the middle of the night and he just said hero mom was like should we. I need to go on. We're going to name our son hero. And it's kind of how it got all went like usually I feel like you look at the baby first then you're his name but it kind of came before. So what do you think of that? What do you think about? I mean I like it. It's not my only name my little name is Chilimera Mokou. Spauva. Chilimera Mokou. Spauva. Spauva.

4:59:42I'm the sexist so I'm going to write it down. Now but I mean it's not got we continued to do it to you and evil which is the name of Chilimera. I'm half a Chilimera Hector. Kind of I'm really seeing I got my father a pre-part especially my arm raised in the earth for many tools that you can do. So you know just you know just put some food. What about popping? I don't know that one. It's a standard for one six five right there. What about that? It is so I think it's a good idea. You know just coming off the ball you know it's easy to get ready with the crazy make that penetration and you've been able to build off of that. You know something that we lose, that we feel we can do. You know it's kind of our release. It's not just like the talent by the humans. God give it and it's kind of giving. The Saturday you have this student appreciation maybe because it get a fun. The intercom students is a weird having the guy next to him. I was a class one autograph boss. What's that life when you're kind of working out in front of your health?

5:00:43I think it's a great event that we're having. You know you love our students you know just like on game days you know we come to watch you issue. You know it's a discussion film and so it's just kind of get that doing again like how it was going to see how it will be for the spring game. We just happy that day to become a watcher. And I'll see you out of the spring game coming up this year to Fox that say anything about the brand of a high state or the group because the fall that we're starting up a practice. Before five practices on net worth television we've been up for 20 years. Yeah I say definitely something going that's an television for a spring game. You know I've never heard it that before. You know that's a big thing. I definitely serve the brand of me that year. You know it's different doing a lot of different school than a country. By way definitely it's kind of a really kind of setup and this is that definitely special for us to have the opportunity. All I'm saying is throughout my eyes we could really have kind of the readout

5:01:44of what we had it but you know due to the process you know post-Jays you quite the over post-Jays have a really good time in the film. You know I might go to the future and you know that the years went by you know things worked out and you were right. How much have you read out of the word? I believe I can read error. You read it in 25 and I'm in 305 now. What's that for you? To me they don't throw like a difference you know I make it look different but to me I feel like I'm moving way faster, quicker, more sportive than I ever was. I like it. What is your problem? Five nine. I know this is one of the ones on the T-shirts. I'm from a nurse's high school and just being able to kind of use your size and kind of dominate. So learning how to use the more size of how much work will be a big picture of this in the film. This is huge strength this year. I feel like it's not just size what you did here. That's one thing I realized. You took me a long time and you kind of fussed this because

5:02:46you want to get to learn them and then I get gotten these asses and that's your own class here. Like that's way different than anybody I used to. And it's more than just size that you had here. It's kind of good. Pass, this more technique knowing the players, knowing who's around, what's everybody's doing. So I think this is way more than just size. It's kind of a looking one for you. Is there like a moment for you like a game? I'm here and I've got to learn to get to the size. Is there a moment last year for practice with the Cicada Dan or Carson's or one of those guys on the inside? There are moments you can point to like, okay that's what I like. I'll say it's quite like how we do this season. You know, you can order us reps and practice and scout them. You know, I'm going to start as every day. And you know, that's just kind of open my eyes right? Just the real thing. This is kind of where everybody knows the real game. I really have to adjust. I want to do that. How much do you think that helped you put it on the scout system? Right now Coach James said the true bet. I feel free to hear games and some bugs here from other guys about the program in the

5:03:47screen. How much did you think you pointed the scout team? I think that helped me prepare for it possibly before he got to the point. That helped me a lot. I feel like without the scout team, I wouldn't be right here right now. To the order to learn it, I went to the audience. I went to the start. I wanted to help you to get there and try to keep doing what you can do. It helped me kind of get ready for myself. You know, for when, whenever my time is, to come in with the jump. I'll be honest. So we're talking to you and Dave and here today. How important is it for you three young guys to step up on the interior of this year? It's definitely important. You know, we have our top four guys. You know, they kind of came in and they're so little five. What they can do, obviously, because of what the draft is past year. But they want to come back. You know, you know, you need to do what you have to do. And I go to see if it's too low north for the championship. And you know, you can't do it just with them. You know, you need guys to come in kind of get themselves ready. You need it so they can be the best you know, the best you can.

5:04:50And you're able to come in and help the team. You know, I've very needed to do what I do. What was your reaction when Ty League said he was coming back? Well, I was happy. Now I was so excited to do anything with that. You know, that's my guy. Well, I was happy. Being able to do the other year just for the last of them. You know, that's for me. That's the kind of thing you can do together. So I think a lot of people see it as everybody on the team wants to be older kind of league. You know, but why is that wrong? Why is that outlook going? I think you want to win. You know, I feel like that's what everybody is. Well, you know, I would never be worried if I had to go for it. And when you guys come back and help us, when you know, that's all because that's all we care about. That's all we want. Jason, they was there today that said that you guys are going to have to play 25-30 snapshot. So, it's a whole time league in Ty League. It's a split time league. When you know that there's 25-30 snapshot, you know, kind of a program. What does that do for you? Obviously, like you just said, you got those guys at the top. They're probably going to play there for a different snapshot.

5:05:52You know that there's pretty good chocolate. Hey, both of them started rapping out of league. What does that do for you? Well, I don't know. I mean, besides looking at whatever snaps you're available, and we just want to do whatever things to help us win. And this case, you know, taking those types of snaps, that's what we need to do to help us win. We're going to do that and do it the best way we can. I just take pride when I step on the field every snap. Ranked number one in innovation, 11 consecutive years. Arizona State University isn't just ahead of the curve.

I'm starting with all four special teams. So I'm going to contribute in every single way there. Well, actually, I think every guy has to take pride in that. How do you see what you're doing on special teams than translates to when you get out there at NECA? I mean, I would just kind of say like that relentless effort. Special teams, it's a longer play. So you go on deep until only 46 seconds. So being able to have relentless effort on special teams, it's a translates when you go on a defense. I'm going to play with the players. It feels good to be out there with my brother. I know we got a couple of snaps together. So being on the field with him, I know my mom, then I'll try to get the little pictures when they see us on the field together. But it's been great. What do you think of the way that he's played so far, a linebacker? I think he's playing decent so far, but he has to keep you in continuing to improve. He's doing his job, but I want him to take it to the next level and be really be that best lineback in the country. Talk, how much do you guys do that with each other, kind of, critique each other's games because you'd be better? I kind of ask him a lot more questions,

5:07:54because he's in the interior. So with the nickel and stuff, I have to be in the run pits. So I'm still understanding that with some of our new calls and stuff like that. But I really learned a lot from him. But his big snouts were really my dad. I know his teaching a lot about the game. Do you still, do you still tell a lawyer over the years of his life? Oh, yeah, definitely, definitely. And the question is, you see where the quarterback, obviously was your choice. Yeah. Was it a difficult decision to make or was it like, I just couldn't see it. I mean, it wasn't really difficult. When I was that entertained, I started the transition there. So once I got into it, I was like, I'm about to excel at this position. And I really, I really just took it on. Took it face on and I'm just trying to excel. Be the best me there. And you've got two very experienced guys that have used athletes. What's the mindset? The obviously, that is the priority. Yeah. That's the view. Yeah. I mean, as a man, as a football player, I just hold myself to a certain standard whether I'm starring, where I'm the backup, whatever it is, I just hold myself to a certain standard. So the way I practice, the way I show up every single day is going to be the same, whether I'm starring or I'm not. And then, so,

5:08:55when you get used to playing in college, and ball playing often, how long do you take you to get to the side of you? I mean, it didn't take too long. I mean, you saw, once I get on defense, I was ready to go for my face on. I was ready to go hit. I think that's just a mindset, my dad, my brother, like I grew up in kind of a defensive, or two family. So I knew one was my time to go to tag, I got to go for my face on. What is that face? What do you mean? No slowing down, no hesitation. Boom. Straight through contact. Yeah. Would you give it to your mom? It's right. Everybody knows my. Yeah. My mom, I think my mom has personality, like just connecting well with people. You see that with her job, you see that with all. She makes friends everywhere. We go to the grocery store, go anywhere. She's talking to somebody. So I think coming to a new place, I was able to transition one, connect with the guys in my room, connect with my team, really come part of this culture. Can you explain a little bit about stadium? So think, get on, check out. Put our hope in whatever. What is it? What is that sensation? It feels like I did my job from being honest.

5:09:58Yeah, I'm just trying to go do it. Every time I get a chance, she's good to my job. You guys have four guys in your defense. We're all from the drinks and what kind of pride do you have to take advantage of? We take a lot of pride in that. Growing up, we grew up together. We were playing sports since we were, because we were young. So we know that competitive, competitive spirit we grew up with, and we were in still with our, our bags and the coaches around us. So we're making that transit here as well. Friends, thanks for your time. Thank you. Thank you. You might add up. What is it you like, I mean, just in the off time, I mean, how are you kind of keeping your face straight? Really just being the leader. Supporting my teammates, making sure they're taking advantage of their play opportunities. And really just being that vocal leader on the sideline and lifting the energy up. They also say, I'll view them know that, I mean, in Stephan, and so on, what happens to either you or I, It's awesome, man. You know, he's a great player. He's a dog. He's proven himself, he's a field-house at university. So it's awesome. which they said that Lorenzo is earned the right and play more on defense. What have you seen from Lorenzo?

5:11:02It turns out he's broke this year. Oh, yeah, he's grown a lot now. He's a great player and just to see He's elevated his game. He knows been really awesome to see Yeah, thank God, so I'm really excited for that and Yeah I didn't even know that was a role. So yeah, that's it's actually cool. It's actually cool that they changed it But what I'm gonna bummer if would I have to leave and then miss actually the first half of the next game even if you were in the first half This game so it's a cool you do I mean, you would have a little defense There's two games nobody's for touchdown Yeah, I mean how good is this defense and how much better It's pretty good, you know, we're chasing we're chasing a leotinus. So our job is to just take the The problem that is still there and make sure when we're in with match-up games, you know, we got everything covered

5:13:13I Would just say Like I say this For so schedule was a little better going into the season like the start of the season And another thing I would have to say is I feel like we could be more You could run to the ball more and really just take it a little things and you know I'll play to level our opponent sometimes is the schedule thing Just want to play a big game or you want to get a real look at how good you guys are Yeah, for me I definitely want to get a real look where we're at and just to be able to have a match of being early in the year Like these other teams around the country. It kind of just shows you where you're at and It's a good start up to the season, especially What does I'm assuming you guys take Yeah, I definitely agree with that I for me I take two Zayn Wednesday really personal for me to be able to elevate my game to the high level

5:14:14I can and get one percent better every single day and Two Zayn Wednesdays is good on good man, so I really take a fancy Hard to keep and not say what you probably want to say about the party Just really hard It was it was a bull crap crawl. I really didn't understand it and It's kind of been going around around the country really I seen one I think it was Florida and what was the other team? And then that was that was a bad call to and then my call to it It's kind of just getting out of hand and then the fact that's your outdoor game The players not even heard or anything like that and I was kind of like the last one in I guess I could see the perspective of restaurant looking at but And someone We were happy for men to be able to be out there and make a play on the ball and a little bit amount of time There's all some men to be able to see him and we are our job is to continue to bring them up with us and

5:15:18And whenever his time to go on that field one was in the IA I don't want to make a comparison You see got come in and struggle early in spring and then start to make those strides Are you seeing those things from Aaron that like okay? I see why he's here. I see why Well, I like him so much. I was kind of face. Yeah, Aaron definitely has flashes and he shows that in practice after like for me Definitely has to be a little bit more consistent. You know, he has a lot of ways to go still young but You know the unit nor do not job to be able to show him on the field and show him off the field of what it means to be a week How do you guys talk about being consistent and some of that things and that you guys have to do? What does that mean that mean? Be consistent in terms of I Discipline that mean being hit with and effort. What is good? What does that mean? Assistant means being consistent all areas of the game really especially in practice You can't have you can't have ups and downs especially at Ohio State We have to instill that into the game guys because you never know when the opportunities gonna come and

5:16:22They're gonna have to know live up to the moment and wall up to help you guys as starters to have guys like to remain like the lens of like Aaron It's awesome, man. You know there they pushed the room You know they make the room better and Just to be able to know that we have guys under us that are like a ball and play it just makes it even more better Whether it's a mentality thing or ability what do you what's the key thing to be able to form as a Freshman Yeah, be consistent all areas your life on off the field and I'll take care the way we're gonna take care of school You know ball that will long the football field and gain trust with your teammates That's what's gonna take you a long way and essentially, you know, start as a freshman Don't thank you very much. Thank you. Yes, sir Turn the right to be on the field which I expect them to do that's our job to make ways for them to be out

5:17:25With Jordan playing a lot of safety last year did that kind of creative look for you guys and how you will do more pre safety Jordan was great from a flexibility standpoint right so we were able to go from kind of traditional nickel type looks to three high safety looks and A lot to put Caleb in different spots. So that was critical for us especially down the stretchers on the playoffs and for a number of weeks of They didn't really know exactly how it was gonna be deployed So that flexibility is critically important to us Flexibility going forwards is gonna be great and kudos to tors. We're taking that step shooting started against the brass got high safety You know the different things that he was able to do last year was huge is gonna help me the NFL and then yeah, again We look at okay, who are the pieces that we have? How do we highlight those and how do we deploy them but the flexibility will always be important ideally I think it always helps anytime that Whoever you are whatever position they can get balls in the same Your linebacker and you can rush off the edge if you're in corner and you can bump to the inside and place lock corner and play high safety So I think those flexibility things are critical

5:18:25More than just like pinpointing a just that position has to be able to function that way, you know But the flexibility across positions as defensive backs as part of coach Walt You know, you know, Timmy philosophy is they're defensive backs. They're not just a corner or just a nickel or just a safety Let's meet together. Let's train together to be able to room these guys to be flexible in amount of packages And that helps your depth too, right? So it may not be like who's the next best defensive back of the game Well, may not just be the guy replacing a guy they got injured in that position, right? You may have to move pieces around and that flexibility you know helps us for sure Competition honestly incredible competitiveness every single day, right? So I want to see consistency from the guys. I want to see you know We want our guys to be consistently on the rise, right? It's not okay to like two days better than you're taking a step back Not every day we need to consistently on the rise. So like those habits your consistency and then your competitive mentality

5:19:27That's what I want to see. We'll coach them again with the right spot. I don't worry about that But I want to see that competitive mentality that hunger and that's what I've seen from the what it worked out so far I mean this morning it was it was a real one in here and That's you know what coach Mick has developed with coach Dave breaches will be pre-jump defense too I mean that competitive mentality on the surface guys Yeah, I think consistency for any young players the biggest thing right? You see flashes of talent But you want to be able to have over and over and over and over again Not saying that they have not been there. I'm actually really pleased with where those guys are right now But that's going to be the biggest thing is you're like when you're when you're playing in situational type things or Packaging things like that it's different than maybe you're out there for 60 snaps in a game right? That's a different type of feeling right so the consistency of performance is important in those because You're putting a lot of different ever situations right?

5:20:28So that'll be the biggest thing is responding to those pressure situations and being consistent in performance Or that they can roll and they can talk about those things Yeah, our job is to put the best football players on the field So we you know latins roll was latins roll because that's what latin did well Killings roll was killed for all because that's what kill him did well, right? So then you say okay We have we have some search coming back. We have a lot of new pieces right? So we said okay What do these guys do holistically well and then let's highlight those things and put them in position to be successful That's all our job as coaches right so put the guys in position to be successful and That was been a lot of times the defense staff talking about that Personnel conversations and that's our job the spring is to make sure that we're getting those pieces right at the slot Jordan That's such a great year you guys last year who are some candidates to kind of replace them now? You can call the nickel do you call a slot? I don't think And it's what we call the Yeah, Lorenzo styles has has done a bunch of awesome things at that position When you look at Germaine Matthews and what he's been able to do playing on the outside

5:21:30But also the toughness he brings in the slot from that position So there's a number of guys that that have those traits and it's a unique guy to be able to do that You know because you're not just a corner. You're not just a safety Should be back alive back or sometimes too, you know, so that interchangeable Peace has been really important. Jordan did an awesome job of that and then you know We were able to even grow the packaging last year because of the things that he was able to do Coach they said about you the national championship celebration shirts things he's told you privately For good to stay that at the championships the same you're one of the rising stars in the industry one of the brightest young minds I had made you feel really give just your take away from now. I know your humble guy Don't you want me to ask you about? No, no, you can ask anything I think anytime that you get recognized for Your hard work and your contributions also my pre-scroged it appreciate coach day saying it I've got an awesome relationship with coach day. I think the world of him Yeah, I try to just be up behind the scenes operator I don't mind the spotlight, but I try to just be behind the scenes operator I put the guys in position to be able to shine But I appreciate of him and the four to keep contributing and what you're really thoughts of foreign coach Petrusions we got chance to meet him for the first time very engaging personalities is we're quite obviously very decorated

5:22:35Just what your thoughts on coach first. Yeah, I mean first up with map Patricia walks in the room the room Speaks for itself, right? So but first up like a great great guy a great guy like just humble gracious You know, I've been very impressed with the person and and I had no previous relationship with man also was also to be able to build that relationship over the last couple weeks The football intelligence is incredible the IQ period is incredible. This is a very very very smart guy What he's been able to do with defenses and the wealth of knowledge and experience that he brings is like He's operated as a GM and offense coordinator defense coordinator head coach I mean it's pretty amazing when you start talking about the things that he's been able to do throughout his career So I have a ton of respect anyways surface level But then to be able to know the man I can't say enough positive things But he's gonna he's gonna be an awesome awesome awesome Last night for me. What do you think of the Bible? Yeah, as he's showing you the Bible? Has it here. Oh, it's huge It's stacked up

5:23:36It's stacked up you know, I I've studied those New England teams for you know from a car for many years actually I've used some of the things that they've done with their safeties as teach takes throughout the years So I especially when I was a younger coach on the profession. I used NFL examples to To teach guys earlier on my time at Duke and I still carry those two with teach tapes I saw I've studied that defense you know from afar. I was without even knowing that and then Yeah for him to be able to be here and then take you through okay the history of why I got to that his background with You know, don't go check and all things is pretty awesome But yeah, I mean yeah the the amount of detail is amazing like it's not a fluke why they've had the success You know when you say okay Let's talk about a coverage the amount of detail in the coverage Where you take all this high-level information you boil it down to very simple so the player can go play functionally like that's It's it's a it's a true talent that he has the freshman that you have here

5:24:39Yeah, it's it's a great question. You know, so we have the faheme codey into shot here right now If they've all been awesome like first off who they are as people Um has been fantastic like those guys show up early for everything their point body weights You know every little marker that we look for academically how they're performing all that has been great um, you know faheme came in with a ready-made college body as you know document through recruiting Um works cited about him Um, he's learning the ways to be a buckeye what it means to be a buckeye You know found the other guys and and it's been his been also has been awesome Um Cody's been great Cody's a worker Cody's a worker. He's been fantastic to have every single day He's made big time improvements really excited about you know him as well And then uh to show us coming off that injury that he had you know his high school high school season and He's been great as well. He's been really good. So like all that have been diligent workers bought in You know, they're hungry and they want to get better, you know, so we're excited about all those guys This talk to be able to practice

5:25:41Um, he'll be limited someone spring ball So we'll be small with him, but he's progressing very well very well with the aim obviously I Oh, yeah, what stood out about him? Yeah, he brings a physicality to his game, you know You've been able to see him roll down the box blitz Um, do some of the things that we've been able to do with safety's but bring a physicality and mentality with him You know, and then um obviously when you get here, then it's a totally different level right so everybody's as good as you know And uh, but now I think very highly of him and High expectations for him when it comes to Kevin And curious that he's obviously on top of the His ability How does that allow you to Experiment with some of the things you can do feels like he could succeed in a lot of different positions And feel how much does that allow you to say okay? We can do this. We can do that and move some things around you by the Yeah It definitely allows you to and as a coach you would say you have to be able to do that right so you've got

5:26:42Essentially a very very unique chest piece that can like how many guys can really play the deep part or feel the shallow part or feel blitz You know do the different things that we ask him to do at that level right guys can move around and do it But very few can do it to that level where he's elite at all of it So it's keeping it simple enough to be able to go be functional with him and the pieces that are around him But that's a huge part of you know, you see our successes past year a lot of that was put in kill him in position Successful. Yeah, that's especially like as we you know say from the half point of the season towards the end That was critical for us So yeah, I think it's a responsibility as a coach We haven't got like this to make sure you're putting him in position Believe played a good bit as a freshman last year and obviously room state healthier a little bit too, but Didn't get as much action, but still you know, what's First guy off the bench. What what have you seen from him? Where is he at? I've seen a big joke from a week You're gonna see a different kind of guy when he takes the field to spring so um

5:27:42He The mentees all mentality all mentality so physically 20 saw you know the flash of him as a true freshman and He's always had that piece right there, but the mentality the toughness the grit that he has I mean that that showed a big time right now, so I got big expectations for what is this spring look like for Or kill the grinds. I talked about some of the guys who played a lot last year made me a little skilled Back but defense and obviously second year in the system. What's what is it? Things like for him. Yeah, I think leadership is the biggest thing right now You know, I mean so when he's always been a leader But he's got even a bigger leadership role because you had a bunch of guys that had played a lot of snaps Your ass day right where you don't have as many guys playing snaps So I think you know this this offseason he's been fantastic and transitioning that Wait, we work to the field now from a leadership standpoint is gonna be critical for him So um, yeah, we'll be smart with like coach. They say we'll be smart with how we manage reps and you know Springs at times to build fundamentals to build schematics, but really also find out what guys can do

5:28:43You know, and we know some of what he can do on a high level. We all do, right? So again continue to get him better, but allow him to be able to influence the other guys to be on the road Are the One more Who are some of the guys who were sort of like We're happy that spot. Yeah, the Renzo styles, the main Matthews and we've got some guys that you know have experience in there and Yeah, we've got some good candidates to be able to go into that spot But those are the guys that you'll be able to see operating there Yeah, thanks guys Um, like I said earlier just playing a lot faster. I feel like I'm more calm out there I feel like the moment isn't too big. I feel like Getting bigger throughout the throughout the year and when I was hurt. Um, definitely helped me I think the great thing about Caleb is he's such He's such like a likable person likable teammate a great teammate

5:29:47He helped he'll help you will help any of the teammates. Um, he's definitely he definitely knows what he's doing He's a great player um, and for me he just pushes me to be better every day Stacked as this I Do you think that there could be the opportunity though for you guys to all see quite a bit of time time throughout the season and not just You know towards the end of games, model of doing kind of playing time to like some real meaningful reps I think that our room definitely has a lot of great players But as far as playing time like that's a question for coach noise Well, I mean if you guys kind of have prepping for that though throughout call camp maybe switching in and out and and really kind of seeing a lot of One-two action. Um, we're definitely we're all getting Like reps it at each spot so like it's not just a just our band anymore. It's not just it's not just you're here You're there. We're all playing different positions. We're all learning different techniques So it's making each one of us more versatile So you've been playing

5:30:48So how comfortable do you feel about strong safety? I feel comfortable in any safety spot So it's I mean the more reps you take the the easier it is and I played both safety spots last year So it's not really that big of a transition. What are the differences between two spots that you have to be used to? Um, honestly this year they made it so they're kind of they're I mean They're both they're both you have to do each thing in both spots So like you have to come down and make tackles of Andy you have to come down and make tackles that adjust their own Obviously it's boundary and feel so that the space is a little different, but I mean you have to do everything I both say please What's different? What's different this camp can hurt the last camp? For me personally, I feel like I have I developed a better routine. I feel like I'm more mature and um What I'm doing and I feel like just go out there and play and have fun I think that's the biggest thing for me don't don't get too caught up on the last play. What have you added or what have you approved to your routine?

5:31:52Um, I think just getting here earlier and at times last year, you know when it's hard to maintain that routine throughout throughout the whole camp or throughout the whole the whole um year, but This year it's it's easier to maintain that because I know what to expect I know the requirements of me and I know that the team is following Well there guys in last year's tournament have influenced you to show up a little bit early Um, yeah for sure. I mean Everyone everyone is required BIA our standard is so high that we challenge everyone It doesn't matter if you're gonna play this year it doesn't matter if you're gonna play two years from now It doesn't matter if you're if you're a true freshman You're gonna come in early and we're gonna put in the work just like everybody else because It's not just the the starters that are held to the standard is everybody It seems like Jaylen McLean when kind of a similar trajectory is you were last year where he's pushing for playing time right away Yeah, you've seen from Jaylen when it's in Rustian Um, he's all over the field man. I mean he he runs that he runs to the ball every playing he's hard

5:32:53You know he's making plays on the ball So I mean he has like I said before he has a lot of potential and I'm excited to see what he does as well You talk like a baby with a baby Yeah, you're able to keep that weight on Um, so at Arizona State University we're bringing world-class education from our globally acclaimed faculty to you Earn your degree from the nation's most innovative university online.

Yeah I think that Coach Preacher's competitive excellence and that means putting yourself in position to make a play and that means practicing harder

5:34:57That means that means Taking each rep like it's that big moment in the game, and um, that's definitely what I'm trying to do is here I wouldn't I wouldn't say how paid off. Yeah, I really haven't you know done nothing yet, but uh, you know God has a path for everybody. You know, he's paving my path right now. So I'm just letting him control You know and pay my path right now When you discover that with your back I'll say After sophomore year that's when you know, it was a lot of ups and downs and you know even this past year It was a lot of ups and downs, but you know mainly from last year He was just a lot of ups and you know, just like let him control everything You know, I tend to you know over deep and want to control things myself But that's not how you know God works. God like I said God has a pen for everybody. He's got my um, paid my This they consistent, you know everybody it's it's different leaders, you know, you got the vocal leader You got the leader that said by example, you know, it's it's different personalities in the group

5:36:02So I'll say, you know, just I can't talk to Edward. I talked to you know, Ken and Kurt. I can't talk to Ken and Kurt I talked to Ken, you know, so it's just you know, they just you know, stay consistent, you know, stay positive and you know Everything you can take care of stuff Part of this You know everybody you know everybody's working like you say we lost you know a lot of good players man a lot of good leaders But you know the guys are stepping up. We just got to step up and we've got to you know take on what the guys that you know left for us pretty much it You know The same monster that we had last year, you know, the second sister and on our toolbox and trust and close day whatever he you know, we got for us Everybody is training and preparing like they're the starter and that's why you see so many guys out there making plays

5:37:02You know Drive right after the charges school there first one first half. Yeah, it was huge I think you know the offense we did a great job responding and we knew what kind of game was gonna be So I'm not just proud of the guys out there for you know responding like we did especially after this quarter that first touchdown like you said and Going down and putting in driver's get it so On that touchdown to Calvin What we're looking for there can talk about what happened and and just of course how big that play was yeah I mean of course you play they were just in zone Quarters and you really just you know high-loan that you know hook defender uh the hook defender took GP underneath and you know Calvin was right by right behind him so on you know great play call of an ass situation of course, you know you always Appreciate the yack the yards of the catch that Calvin got us and of course it was a huge play for us Take a picture. Can you speak to what Calvin and Scotty Miller brought to the offense? Yeah, I mean those guys definitely stepped up today You know Calvin doing everything on offense and special teams as well and then you know Scotty too No, he didn't I want to be played last week. So I'm just coming in

5:38:05He had a big third down conversion for us broken title with some yards So they both played great today So you guys threw some exot they never throw some exotic blitzes that you guys and you guys were prepared for some of those strikes over the middle You had the third third down conversion and the touchdown How does it feel to execute something like you guys playing it outside and you got those big plays? Yeah, it feels great executing You know we were preparing for it all week gone You know certain looks we would get in certain situations and uh, you know like you said We did a great job executing it. Oh line did a great job today and um, you know holding up and receivers Just being at the right time at the right place You heard all week that the dam was about to break on the offense you guys stop short of scoring that Touch up, but is this what it looks like when that dam is in the process of breaking? Yeah, it is And um, I think we've scored one more touchdown if I didn't throw that out of interception Um, so like we say we're just gonna keep working and keep getting better and keep improving I wonder what did you see on that in the center? Yeah, he just smashed to stick right way too fast and um, you know, I just shouldn't throw on the ball You know got hit but uh at the end of the day either should have worked the other side of the field thrown it to the flat because they were so soft

5:39:07Or you know just throw the ball away, especially when we're already you know in field go range at the 40 yard line That can't happen that can't happen against us Do you feel like you're proving your detractors wrong tractor from Chicago days? Um, I'm not really worried about that. Um, I'm more so it's improving, you know myself, you know right I know, you know, what kind of player I am, you know, I haven't changed kind of my whole life so Um, at the end of the day my teammates help me be great. So um shout out to them shout out to our defense shout out to everybody else in the offense for pushing me each and every day at practice and um, you know, it's just a credit to them. So um, definitely, you know glad and um Just just feeling good to be in this position to be honest with you so yeah You talk about improving your three last tries or I feel like What do you feel like you improved on as this game went on and how did you make some adjustments to finish strong like you did? Yeah, uh, the first half we didn't run the ball like we wanted to so um, you know second half especially late in the game We had to run the ball Uh, they're running backs on the O-line did a great job

5:40:08Even in situations where we knew we had to run the ball on they did a great job executing Um, Nage and CP they were hitting the whole great and um, you know, we were getting first downs at the first down So any time you can get that run game going and um, no, it's just stuff. Let's all overall So good does it feel for the offense to put together performance like this against such a good defense like the chargers Yeah, it feels great um, we kind of knew what we were up against uh two great edge rushers And I think they were ranked number one defense and NFL coming into this thing So we knew we had a big test in front of us, but um, you know, we have a pretty good defense that we go up against every day as well So um, just going up against those guys and the only other side of the ball on our team Just kind of prepares for this moment and like I said everybody came out executed and um, we put points up on the board So I felt great Those guys drives make you more confident in the sense that the longer their defense did on the field You could open up some more pathways to run as well as play action Yeah, not for sure, you know, anytime you can stand the field uh as long as possible definitely tires them out Um, I think It was second quarter maybe before the two-minute warning

5:41:10They were glad that we actually didn't run a play because you know, they were so tired Linebacker kind of made a joke over to us. It was like appreciate y'all because they were so tired But anytime you can um, you know, keep their defense on the field for a long time With the run game and with the play action pass like you said and have our defense on the sideline wrestling That's the positive for sure This is the first time in your career that you won three consecutive games in the NFL What does that mean to you and what kind of momentum do you feel like you have through the first three weeks of the season? It means a lot, but um at the end of the day It's not just me winning games. It's the whole team So um, I'm just happy to be a part of this team happy to be a part of this organization and uh, we definitely look forward to Keep it to going next week versus indie For sure um, you know, I think I've just grown a lot Uh, over the past year over the past few months um, really just this year. So Definitely feeling more confident and I'm uncomfortable out there on the field So what do you guys were saying they read a confidence in you in the second half that you were gonna win the game And they fed off that what what was it? What made you confident in the same?

5:42:13Um, I think we kind of knew we We knew um, like I said, we knew what kind of game we were going to be in And um, we knew that we didn't play well enough in the first half You know, we had a couple of miscues in the first half and We knew we were better than that. So like I told the reporter out there You know coach tea challenges at halftime to play better and be better And we came out second half and I did just that so good Just if you said you've done a lot of grown in both the last year and a half Where do you feel like you've grown the most you're shown the most grow? Um, just overall uh, seeing the field I feel like I'm just Very calm out there Uh cool common collected on the field and um Really just Just that sense of peace out there on the field and not really you know rushing things Internally my brand just staying calm in the pocket and um I'm just you know making plays when I can and just doing my job Jones stepping out there. Of course he was Bench last week and uh this week he comes out Like he was like he was a big part of the offensive line having a good day. He was part of the offense

5:43:17You know A mess situation pops up, you know, he's not really thinking all week that he's gonna play and then Troy goes down Friday You know, it just shows how prepared he was He prepared all week like he was a starter and I definitely showed a big for us especially with this you know defense that we face showed up you so Big shot out of seven seven for sure 20 Like your last eight games You feel it almost like you're running back in your dungeons that you know Not for sure um Yeah, I mean, you know, I think the biggest thing is you know getting the police song first second down and um Singing that third manageable. So I think that's the biggest thing in taking shots when they come So um, yeah, anytime you can get in getting to rhythm as a quarterback, you know, you just you know Feel that you know confidence kind of overflow and kind of like I said earlier. You just feel Very calm in the pocket. Yeah, I think you completed maybe first 10 passes Does that help you get in the rhythm? Does that help you down later in the game? I think so But you know our game plan was kind of you know

5:44:20We knew they were gonna give us completions on first and second down kind of keep us show over the top You know, they don't really want you know big plays so they kind of play off and soft So we knew completion. We're gonna be there in the first On first and second down. So I really want a big surprise You know just pitching catch them with the guys and you know been making great plays and Run after catch. So yeah, there's a ball start in the home opener And just what we were first impressions of playing here in Pittsburgh and this crowd Yeah, I mean it was great definitely a little bit different from preseason for sure But I the fans showed out um great turn out and uh, you know, it was it was awesome It was definitely getting out out there especially when the defense was on the field so Great turn out by civil nation for sure Success of the run game. Who is your thoughts on Cordell Patterson's contribution? He's huge man. I'm just seeing some of those hits. I'm handing the ball off and just watching them go I mean, I know I can't do that. So the fact that he's been in the league for um this long It's still doing that. I mean it's it's really crazy to see to be honest. So I mean he he definitely did a thing me there for sure Just yet to very pinpoint passes one Friday with my drop in the Calvin. Yeah

5:45:23Is that accuracy something that you've gotten better at? I mean, they were pretty flawless rows right there I think I've always been kind of accurate, but um, I might be a little bit biased But um, yeah, I mean just those situations what Jackie said I'm just trying to get in a good field field position before the two-minute, but um, I mean yeah I'm definitely you know definitely need accuracy at this level for sure Anyone else? Thank you guys. Appreciate your help Any further build up to that game and see how you're gonna do in the game You are at this point in the season as far as what I think is working on I think it's more just mental um Just seeing what the defense is what their scheme is um, uh, and then also Just making sure that you have the right technique for those defenders um and stuff like that I mean

5:46:29Yeah, you'd say everything. I mean we hit um on a daily basis all the time so uh You could have knee pain ankle pain um You could have headaches you have shoulder pains you have hands wrist um anything um, but uh, I think it just Shows that We're willing to do whatever to play When an ass championship Championship that's that's what's driving me um more than ever because it's it's a memory that'll last the lifetime If you go and do it Um, I think it's paid off Uh Playing for a national championship um if you were to tell me that when I was 10 years old being a starting right tackle to house state I would say I'd say some cuss words at you and then and tell you to go away

5:47:33Uh, not that much, but yeah, it's Indiana. So yeah Uh, they're fine Um, I don't know. I guess you could say I'm gotten it out uh I just I don't look at myself um more than I'm just looking inside that huddle during the offense when we're when we're calling a play and I'm like I got to I got to do it for these guys Put so much in for him Yeah No, uh, Notre Dame didn't recruit me when uh when uh I was going out through high school um, but I don't have any ill will against that um Uh, they didn't didn't think I was a good enough football player, so Didn't the day No, I don't think that's any motivation. I don't I don't I don't look at it like that um Maybe that they recruited different guys and in classes, but I don't look at it as any of will

5:48:34I Yeah, I think uh, I think it's good um, I think it's just shows that it's like an NFL style season um, I mean it's It's crazy to think what we were and we was at 16 or 17 um, and It's just per I think it prepares you for the next level um More than ever because it's it's it's basically I wouldn't say it's the NFL, but the playoffs and all that stuff. It's it's kind of Coming together as the NFL um Sleep Sleep going in the trainer room um spend hours in there um Then go in the film room with a ice pack on or Stam or something like that and start watching film um, I think it's like a 20 24 7 thing That you always got to keep your body right um to to make sure that you're ready to perform at the level you want to perform it

5:49:51Uh that day was an oh shit for me uh, it was um It was just to see where he went from the winter time to being the guy who wouldn't talk anything and being All-American rimming to winter um, yeah, it was it was a it was a dark point um and In this season um for us as a line, but I had confidence in Carson right away I mean I he played 12 games and he did find I thought he did find those 12 games so I had complete nutter confidence in Carson It played on the tier but then had to come Yeah, I think it just shows that Sinners guards tackle they just need time uh time to I mean you're not gonna do Amazing your first season and unless you're I don't know Michael Jordan or something like that But uh, it's it shows that it's just a development um and I mean are like our slogan is developed here

5:50:53I mean just to see him come from last season to this season. It's it's completely different Yeah, uh, but I coach fries a great offensive line coach um He knows what right what technique to use on every single play um he Buses ask for us um even though people Give him hate all the time. I don't understand. I don't see why um he's a he's a great human being um He just wants the best for us and I think that's what you see at him every single day is he's trying to push us to be the best for ourselves Yeah, I think they've done an unbelievable job And it just shows the selflessness the selflessness of all three of those guys Because tegras starting for the season awesome was left guard and then luke jumps in there But those guys haven't complained one bit of oh, I want to get more playing time or something like that

5:51:54They've been selfless and it's amazing to see Yeah, I knew I was coming back so that there was no No recruiting for me um, I was kind of on the outside of that because it was only my first year playing or first year starting um, but I just remember um Just of fire and jack's eyes you see because oh hi on native or how state guy um literally V-buck I I call him um and it's it's just a fire in his eyes of Hey, we can do this we can go to a national championship um and play for it We just have to have everybody come back and it was it was awesome to see Yeah, there's been so many guys that have have stepped up into that role of uh Example-setter tone-setter um, you know here every day

5:52:58Every meeting every Weight room session every practice Engaged I mean every day every hour every minute, you know nobody more than Then uh, Darwin James and Justin Herbert Those two um those two have been really off the charts and an incredible And set the tone and been leaders by example the entire offseason Justin is there a moment from this spring that got you most excited whether that's on the field in the classroom For that that would be a long lesson.
