Transcript
00:00 come in there you think you had a good practice might have a couple breakups
00:03 but the film don't lie so when he starts breaking down the film you go in there
00:07 you see the board you might be surprised but for the most part if you had a good
00:10 day I mean it'll show on the board what's the lowest you've been the lowest
00:14 sure I think I graded out one day like 2.3 which is it's not too crazy but it
00:23 was pretty crazy for my standard and the highest the highest I graded out like a
00:26 1.5 yeah so the lower the lower the better the higher the worse was there
00:31 one that kind of pissed you off a little bit when you went in what happened that
00:35 day I had like a pick and a couple breakups but I had missed on a cracker
00:40 place and he he got he chewed into me for that one but it was cool did you
00:45 deserve it yeah most definitely I hold myself accountable he gonna hold us
00:49 accountable so yeah you talked about you know you you talked a little bit you
00:53 know you've earned it yeah who do you like to talk to most on I mean who's
00:56 the best one to just get in their ear Mike I love talking to Mike man but
01:02 somebody said it's hard to talk smack to Mike because he talks mess but he does
01:05 it in a humble way and you just don't know what to say he does but every time
01:09 Mike throws a 70-yard bomb you gonna hear Mike and one thing about Mike if
01:13 you start talking to him you're gonna get some target so I just be trying to
01:16 get the ball thrown in really
01:21 what's it like with Mike man he that dude is he leave man I mean honestly
01:27 it's just a blessing just to be on a practice field with him you fit me he's
01:30 giving us the best look that we gonna see all year so just us being out here
01:34 to come out and dominate on some days just puts us in better position during
01:38 the season to just make plays your path here wasn't the easiest path yeah do you
01:42 appreciate the just like just the simple perks here a little bit more than most
01:48 because the path that you had to take yeah I appreciate everything if you ask
01:52 all these dudes I'm the only dude I stay in the little nutrition room just taking
01:56 advantage of all the snacks like the training room and all that stuff so yeah
02:00 honestly it's I take advantage of all the little things what's the coolest
02:03 little thing the coolest little thing shoot everything is cool man I honestly
02:08 I couldn't even I had to break it down it'll probably be that we have a
02:14 nutrition room in our rate room and like we didn't have that at my juco like we
02:17 didn't get no type of meals we might get a peanut butter and jelly sandwich maybe
02:21 so but just I probably said in nutrition room you can go in there anytime make
02:24 you some food get you some cereal snack oatmeal eggs anything you want really so
02:29 I feel like I take advantage of that the most for sure

02:37 gonna be like it's gonna take a little bit for the butterflies to wear on I was
02:41 built for this it ain't gonna be no butterflies I plan on dominating from
02:46 day one that's the goal that's the plan that's what's gonna happen so it ain't
02:49 gonna be no butterflies nothing this is gonna be domination

03:02 for me to spread my wings and grow you feel me I just felt like being in LA at
