00:00 part of the program now for I guess seven or eight months.
00:03 How's it feel to be out there compared to the spring?
00:06 >> Honestly, it didn't even feel that long.
00:08 Honestly, I didn't even really think about it like that.
00:10 But since I've been here, though, it's just been great.
00:14 Everybody welcomed me well.
00:15 I gained new teammates, new friends.
00:18 I'm getting to learn the coaches more.
00:21 I'm getting to learn my position a little better, know how those guys operate.
00:24 So it's been going great.
00:26 >> Are the ways they're using you any different compared to the way
00:29 your prior school was using you?
00:31 >> No, it's all the same.
00:32 Everything I've been doing my previous year is still the same.
00:35 Just different plays, different names.
00:38 So I mean, it's all going the same.
00:39 >> You guys, the coach was talking about the tight end room.
00:43 Biscuits made a lot of nice plays.
00:45 You, Morlock's made some, that group.
00:48 Overall, how much do you enjoy being part of that tight end room?
00:50 >> Well, I enjoy it a lot.
00:52 Just going in there and competing with them guys.
00:55 And then we just all make each other better at the end of the day.
00:57 Like you say, Biscuit made a couple plays.
01:00 Morlock, I just feel like we all make each other better.
01:03 >> It looks like you've been talking to coaching all the players as you go
01:07 throughout practice and stuff like that.
01:08 What's their support here?
01:09 What's the help that like throughout practice and getting a foot?
01:11 >> Just those guys that have my back, knowing they got my back,
01:16 knowing I got their support.
01:18 And just the offense, just we all want, so
01:22 at the end of the day, everybody got each other back on holiday.
01:24 >> [INAUDIBLE]
01:34 >> I'm getting better with it.
01:37 Just getting my footwork better.
01:39 So once I get that better, I feel like I'll be a lead at it.
01:41 But I'm definitely getting better since last year.
01:44 >> Are you kind of eager to get some pads on?
01:46 Or do you like it though?
01:48 >> I'm ready.
01:49 I'm ready to play the first game right now, if we could.
01:53 >> Seems like this offense is really loaded from top to bottom.
01:56 What's it gonna take over the next couple of weeks for
01:57 you guys to unlock your full potential for the 2020 preseason?
02:00 >> Just keeping our head down, competing against each other.
02:04 Just having a head down mentality and just going full force.
02:07 >> How much does it help you go against that defensive practice every day?
02:11 >> It's great, cuz I mean, we're not gonna see that every game we play against
02:14 somebody, so just competing against that.
02:16 And then the defense competing against us,
02:17 cuz they're not gonna see an offense loaded like this every week.
02:20 So I mean, I just feel like we're making both sides better.
02:23 >> You had a couple comments on Twitter during the summer.
02:25 You seemed pretty excited about Keon coming in and
02:28 Dustin coming in, the weapons you guys have.
02:30 How glad are you for them to finally be here and see it all come together?
02:32 >> Man, like I said, you can't double everybody.
02:34 So I mean, just having Keon and the rest of those guys come in,
02:38 I just feel like you gotta pick your boys.
02:40 And at the end of the day, the defense quarter, when they come in and
02:44 they got us on the table that week, they're gonna have to figure out what we
02:46 gotta do, cuz it's not gonna be easy.
02:47 You ain't gonna build a double, you're not gonna have it.
02:52 >> Coach Orovello was saying the DBs had a really good day yesterday.
02:56 They thought the offensive scrimmage guys responded today.
02:59 Did you guys feel challenged a little bit?
03:01 >> We talked about it when we got in the locker room.
03:03 When we get in the locker rooms, all that is over.
03:06 We just talk about high winds.
03:07 We told the DBs they got after us, but today we responded well.
03:10 >> Great.
03:10 You good?
