00:00 >> So talk to me about when you're in practice and
00:02 you're going up against Miami's offense.
00:04 Who are some of the players on the other side of the football that you really
00:08 respect and give you tough matchups out there?
00:10 >> The one I respect, all of them or just any true freshmen?
00:15 >> And any individuals, guys that you've gone up against in practice,
00:18 you're like this guy's legit.
00:19 >> One true freshman, my roommate, Elijah Lawton, he's gonna be a problem.
00:27 Him, JG, Elijah Royal, Cam, the other tight end.
00:35 Then the running back wise, you got, I ain't seen Mark play,
00:39 but I seen his play style, he's gonna be a problem too.
00:42 But yeah, and Coop, Coop and Coop, Coop, that's a doggo line.
00:50 >> Now talk to me a little bit more about Lawton.
00:52 I didn't realize that was your roommate because I'm watching this guy, Bobby,
00:56 in practices.
00:57 He's lining up at running back, he's lining up at tight end,
01:00 which is technically his position, but he's lining up wide.
01:04 This guy's gonna be a weapon all over the field.
01:07 >> Yeah, Elijah got a special type of building technique with his build.
01:13 Elijah can do a lot of things, play running back, tight end, receiver.
01:17 Anything you really need him to do, in the same day he can do it.
01:20 Also, he is more of a switch armor knife.
01:26 I feel like Elijah can go on defense, play linebacker, and
01:28 go hit something real quick, just in case.
01:31 He's just that aggressive.
01:32 And also, his ball skills, his technique on the receivers,
01:38 his route running, they're good, they're good, highly.
01:43 And he's fast with it, his weight, he is fast with it, he can move.
01:49 >> That was one of the things I noticed,
01:53 he doesn't necessarily look like he's that fast.
01:55 But then when he's actually out there moving, it's a whole different thing.
01:58 >> Yeah, a whole different ball game.
01:59 >> Yeah, talk to me about Cam Ward, about his decision making and
02:05 his accuracy and what he does in practice.
02:07 >> Cam Ward is a quarterback that you want on your team.
02:12 Cam Ward is a quarterback, you make one even little small step,
02:18 he hit the ball behind you, he gonna throw it where you can't get it at all.
02:22 He did that to me a couple of times.
02:23 I remember I was so close to a pig, but I missed him.
02:26 The perfect ball, actually, he's smart with his passes.
02:32 He made sure only the receiver can get the ball.
02:36 Like the DB won't have a chance to touch the on the receiver the ball, and
02:40 he can run with it too, just in case he need to run.
02:42 He more of an out here, I'd like to say that, and he's a great leader to me.
