00:00What did you learn most about Tyler Boyd during your time playing with him then I
00:08Learned a lot from a football wise, you know a lot from the slot
00:13off the field just hanging with him just
00:15He a funny guy just being himself. Um, really came in every day the same person. So he had good character
00:23We leave you a signed jersey at the end of last year. Yes. Yeah, we traded after the season
00:30Cuz you're like that was gonna be
00:33Probably the end. Yeah. Yeah, we felt it. He felt it, you know first
00:38So, you know, he talked to me at it before the last game
00:42Around the last game, you know, you just say leave me one before you leave. Yeah, but nothing on the whole
00:48Yeah, he invites me on the boats actually. Yeah, you want to invite it?
00:53I'm a I'd be the first guy. All right
00:57Pitch was talking about
01:00Pitch was talking pitch was talking about
01:03But what the touchdown and he was talking about when Joe saw that cushion
01:09He was thinking he just didn't think oh, that's an out in the completion
01:12He was thinking if I put this ball in the right play
01:15Yeah, he could go and you also do when this Joe send you a message by where he the will is the ball
01:21Yeah, can you get kind of run through that? Um, so yeah, that's just comes with trusting the quarterback
01:27intuition on what he placed on a ball at
01:29You know, he threw it inside me
01:32On my back shoulder that way I could catch it and turn like upfield and you know
01:38See to feel better and faster and just put my foot in the ground. So he gave me a chance
01:41Do you think you could do that or the way he throw it?
01:46What the way he threw it like a friend like this is where you need to turn, you know
01:50So a good ball placement did you when you saw how much cushion did you feel like that might be the place though?
01:54I knew it was coming once I seen so much space off, you know, I knew it was coming
01:59With your time with Ryan Cowan and what stood out the most?
02:07Well when I first came in it was just me just trying to learn offense, you know
02:10I'm saying it was so much of me wanting to learn offense and learn new spots and it took me a minute but
02:17Cattle was always dead. I helped me make sure I was good. You know, if I ever had questions I walked up to him and asked him
02:23Are you aware that after the game on Monday you would triple crown now
02:28No, nobody told me so I don't have it yet. So wait, this is one of those things like it's you don't have it until
02:39I don't have it until someone say you have it besides y'all. Okay besides
02:47No, I mean
02:50I
02:51Know I don't need all that. I don't need trophy or nothing
02:54How much does production?
02:57Factor in how you evaluate yourself and your season
03:03This year has been pretty good, you know, just the wins is make everything better with the situation I'm in
03:11But you know, I did a lot this year it's a lot I still can learn from this year
03:16Overall, you know, I'm proud of what I got going on
03:20Do you think because you're a more mature receiver a better receiver the numbers just naturally flow from that?
03:29I honestly think it's just me finally get an opportunity to move around
03:33You know, I'm saying just be in different spots not just be one dimensional and no, no, they don't know where up
03:40I'm that's coming if I'm in the same split in the same position every every down, you know
03:46After the game on Monday, I think it was Scott Bain of Calgary. I don't want Soto's contract to you
03:50Have you done any more research on it since then? No, I'm not a baseball guy
03:55more yesterday Joe
03:58Joe Boris that you would be
04:01Cold very disappointed the kid didn't find a way he T Higgins you share that same Center as well
04:07Yeah, 100% I feel like he deserves us to be here. You know saying he wants to be here
04:13but
04:14Nothing that today. That's not my control. I just hope the best for him
04:17I hope he can stay and we keep this going
04:21Sitting here you think it's feasible for y'all to get what y'all want and the next contracts that will go do a long term
04:26It's possible. Yeah, it's possible even concerning what you're looking at as well
04:30It's possible
04:32How I get what I said, how important when it be
04:35Do you think for the future to keep obviously Joe you and T all together?
04:41Yeah, I think would be good. That's
04:44You know the the pieces of the offense that would that would be missing if it if he does leave, you know
04:50but who knows what they're what they'll do to replace T. I said any well, but
04:57It'll be like going on man at the end of the day I just
05:01Been with him for this long would have built chemistry this long. He no chemistry with Joseph. No, the chemistry is there already
05:07So, you know, it's all about how they want to play
05:10To replace that if they were having to get that with the new receiver what you have
05:14That's the team but with Joe as well and how to display you down
05:17Yeah, how hard would that be to kind of pick that up with all over you?
05:24It shouldn't be too hard, I mean we all been playing this game since we were about 10 years old, you know
05:28Um, so it's in our blood
05:31It just comes with you know being prepared to work every day
05:36come with the same attitude every day and and just
05:39Wanting to learn I think that's what it is. Say to say you don't plan on exchanging signed jerseys with T the same way
05:45you did with T
05:47nah
05:49That's more after the season talk with me and T
05:52so
05:54You see tape of Marshall Falk
05:56In Marshall Falk. Yeah
05:58Have I seen some yes. Yeah, if I told you you were like the modern-day version of Marshall Falk
06:04But only as a wide receiver, what would you?
06:06um
06:09I don't know. I've been told that before. I actually know Marshall Falk. We golf a little bit. So, yeah
06:16It's crazy that you say that
06:19You were kind of, you know, what kind of relationship you had, I wasn't, yeah
06:25Nah, I was way too young. I don't even think I was born. Yeah
06:34But
06:35That's style though this part of the running back is a receiver. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, um, didn't he have
06:41Don't got the most receptions as a running back, right? Yeah, so I
06:45Mean if we look the same, you know, I mean we break tackles probably pretty much the same, you know
06:51Offseason yeah
06:53Not really. I mean only do it during the offseason, you know, it's not like I'm
06:58Decent only one hole in one one time. So I
07:01I
07:04Did it one time
07:06in Cabo
07:07How far like a hundred and twenty feet maybe?
07:12Maybe less than that. Maybe less than that. Maybe like a hundred maybe
07:15yards
07:18Real golf course in Cabo
07:21No, no, no off to you. It was it was a nine iron
07:25No
07:28Off the box. Yes. Yes
07:30They rolled up the hill it came right down. It came right in the hole
07:34so
07:36Marshall folk in my age and actually yeah
07:41Yeah, and that was the first and last time I ever did it. So I mean what was that react?
07:45They was shocked. Like I did it. It was couldn't believe I did it
07:50I couldn't believe I did it. You know tonight was a nine. I
07:54Said yeah, it was a nine. It was a nine
07:57Um, I just like how how I could hit it with a nine
08:01I don't I don't really like the other ones pitching ways is a little hard for me to use
08:05I only could use that in the sand. So like I'm good. Are you about to go for a more player?
08:10I'm a football player. I heart man
08:18I don't know. I'm smack competitive and I don't really like getting mad at golf. That's that makes me angry sometimes, you know
08:26Kelly yesterday talked about that being really competitive. Have you got a sense of that things? I'm getting it on and being some really confederate guy
08:34I
08:37Guess you could say so, I mean we do like competitive Saturdays, you know with someone somebody every Saturday, you know
08:45It's not called competitive Saturday, but like
08:50We just do like some competition like jump shots or like
08:54I'm throwing a football at the goalpost. We'll hit the pole first or three times in a row
09:00Kind of always be wired that way to be like a we're gonna go out we're gonna win even we're just doing little things like
09:04That my thing is a good mindset to have just just for yourself and the people around you
09:11Because if you competitive me, let me you won't give you all what everything you do. Not just one thing
09:17Jump shot probably Joe a tea tea really good at basketball. It's hard to say I don't like admitting it
09:23It's good. I didn't we asked to you a lot about his contract stuff. Well, how do you feel like your stuff?
09:28Is that right now this part sees? Okay, I
09:31Ain't worried about contracts right now. It's after everything
09:35Pitch was saying he thinks borrowers. It's at least
09:40borrows top physical trade disasters
09:43So would you agree? I
09:47Would say so too we got a good ball placement, you know, he always knows where he wants to place it
09:51So yeah, I would say yeah, that's kind of under I mean, it's kind of underrated isn't like, okay
09:56I mean, it's okay to get a completion, but they actually throw where you can make the most of it
10:01It's kind of under it. It does have good actually. I'm not gonna lie. I'm not I'm thinking about it because he threw one
10:06one of the famous Russell or famous catches to TB over the middle and
10:11TB barely had his head around and he caught it like on his shoulder pad like that. So
10:16No, that's like timing and accuracy to know
10:19Have you talked at all with Tyler this week? No, I was thinking about giving a text today
10:25There's gonna be weird seeing him on a different side on
10:30Not really we so cool, I don't think it'll be weird
10:39Just by staying on me, you know, I'm saying he did a lot to just
10:44Make me feel like a rookie. You know, I'm saying he did he did a lot just
10:49Pissed me off, you know
10:51And gave me ready to practice
10:54make sure I'm
10:56Know what I'm doing on the field. So like he did a lot
11:03Like I'd be a pro how to offering the we kind of translate that talent to really being productive
11:08I mean how how valuable is it to have somebody show you the ropes in that way?
11:13It's good, it's good to have as a rookie, you know, I'm saying not not too many
11:18you guys
11:20will do that and
11:24You know, I did that with Jermaine a little bit just you know, just
11:29Making him feel comfortable and messing with him a little bit
11:32And that's what TB did a good job with me of just making sure that I'm comfortable around everybody and just having fun
11:37These are any things that he took from TV in the slide
11:40I think I for everything any element of his game that you use because you're playing what I think you're playing
11:47Did you say you played about 40 things in a timeless life? I
11:51Don't know. Yeah, I honestly don't know. So what do you
12:00He got this one road that I like how he run it, but I don't really run that road a lot, you know
12:05So, I mean when I get the chance, I probably would try to run it like he does. Maybe it's all
12:10Basically inside
12:15Instincts and awareness you got to see the zones, you know, I'm saying you got to be ready to sit
12:19So it's all about replacement Jamar. What do you remember about first training camp about my what first training camp the first training camp
12:27going against cheeto
12:29the most
12:33It was great just getting good work with him knowing he was a vet
12:37I
12:38Always had a lot of questions for him because he was a vet
12:40He was he would know what I would Ross I have from splits and stuff. So
12:45He did a good job and just telling me like make sure I hide
12:48My adjustments my Rouse make sure my you know, I'm saying the small details and in the receiver room
12:54You know from the DB a great to be like cheeto, you know, he was giving me pointers on all things
13:012021 2022 shooto
13:03Where is he racking the corners? I don't get an exact number
13:06But is he in the upper echelon of corners that you face since coming in?
13:09You think I know it was practice. I'm about to say it was practice, but it was good reps at practice
13:16I'll put him up there. I know he gave me good looks, you know, I scored on them, too, but
13:22You gonna see this and start laughing
13:25But it was still good reps though, you know all around your party
13:28That's maybe upset that Steve won't be playing with something that who Steve won't be playing. He's a higher
13:33Who?
13:35What do you think? Oh
13:37Nah, I mean
13:40No comment to that, you know
13:42You watch Travis honor at all this year. Uh
13:46Yeah, I watched a little bit press
13:49He's a crazy athlete. He's one of a kind
13:53That's what I could say. He's one of a kind. How hard is that play receiver and DB at the level of doing that?
13:57I don't know one person that did it besides him
14:01Like I sit there and play I'm not doing it. I
14:03Know he tired you got it. You got to really be in shape for that too
14:07to be playing both sides I
14:11Salute him for it because I know I wouldn't do it. That's too much running
14:18Less miles trying to get me to play DB and I didn't do it. So
14:25Was a conversation like wasn't no conversation I left
14:30It's right. It's cool, though. You talked a little bit of that she don't your relationship
14:35Do you see that now with the wide receivers and the DB's?
14:39In practice trying to especially with you and T some polio I received Lee trying to help out some of the younger DVDs now
14:45That's still happening. Um, I mean, it's not really helping him out. It's
14:50Like with me and Cheeto, I used to go up to Cheeto and ask him questions, you know, he didn't really come to me
14:56and
14:57The only person I'm that I know that does that on the team now is this fig I'm saying he does a good job
15:03It just he does it to Joe to it just goes up to ask some questions
15:06I asked about what leverage why I ran it like that, you know, so
15:10You know the small things like that's gonna make him a better person. Do you see improvements in his game because of that?
15:16Yeah, you know I'm saying he's been make I know when he came in
15:20You know during training camp and stuff like that when I was watching when I came back. He looked pretty good for me
15:26You know, there's always ways time to get better but
15:30What I seen he's been getting better and getting improvement those reps in camp weren't three they were competitive, but they weren't real
15:36Are you looking forward to playing real football against you?
15:40Yeah, I think I'll be fine man
15:42Just cuz I know he knows what's going on on this side of that other football papers. I mean
15:49it's just gonna come down to technique and
15:52Coming back to the football man and playing more physical than he is at the end of the day
15:56So I think it'll be good matchups all over the field. You see me traveling them as he going from side to side
16:02I mean
16:04He just got back. His first game was last game. So I don't really know how they gonna play on play with him
16:09I'm moving around yet
16:13Nah
16:15Practice different bro. Everybody talking practice, but yeah
16:19Yeah, that's what I'm saying, I don't I never win against him in a live reps and stuff like that, you know, I talk though, but
16:25Yeah, I don't know yet. We'll see how the game goes. I
16:30Ain't talk last game. So
16:32To rain. Are you out of touchdown celebrations yet?
16:38Loki
16:41Look he's yeah
16:43Sorry, I'm fine. So I'm getting to go help me a little bit
16:46You do a golf son, which is now I need to save my back for after the season, you know
17:00It was a gap in front of it, too
17:03How long how many? Yes, probably 100 times that you thought before then
17:08Probably three times. I've been gone. I go off every year
17:12Every year in my offseason, I'll go to cowboy and golf every year
17:16Did you know marching did rocky road?
17:19Said again rocky. Yes. Yeah
17:23That's why I know
