  Speaker 1: last year. So you haven't felt physically really right since
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: sophomore year. Sophomore Okay, the sky is the limit, all right,
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: I'm trying to go past the sky. Tell me about
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: this offense. Uh, what do you like about it? What
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: are you excited about? Um? I like the offense, um,
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: mainly because you know, it's it's it's concepts where like, um,
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: you know, I want to say, it's kind of like
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: I wouldn't say, it's kind of like college, but it's
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: just you know, we're gonna get this guy open and
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: we're going to him type of thing. And it's and
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: it's just crazy, crazy like schemed up. And UM, I'm
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: liking it. It's just exciting because the play is what
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: I'm saying, Like, it's just so many you know, chances
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: and opportunities. Uh, and you know, we just gotta make
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: the best up puts players in position to make plays.
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: But if you're a playmaker, you're gonna excel. Um. Obvious question.
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: Can't ask an offensive player these days we are talking
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: about Trevor Lawrence impression so far. Uh with the excitement
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: level of in this kid, kid, I guess you're at
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: the same age. But you know, I mean you know
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: that when they say don't believe the hype, well with him,
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: you you want to believe the hype. You know, he
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: has a great arm, he's smart, um, and he always
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: trying to get better. I mean I haven't seen some
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: crazy passes and practice already. I mean, like guys, I
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: mean he's thrown the ball before guys out the route
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: and like the way he's just that zimp he got
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: on the bars is crazy. And the anticipation you have
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: talked about, that's everything in this level, right. You can't
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: you can't succeed as a quarterback or a receiver unless
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: the quarterbacks are doing that exactly. Got you? Uh, tell
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: me about the receiving room. It seems like there is
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: a chemistry developing you Jones, d J charkvious, the guys
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: people talking about but overall, tell me about that room.
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: How excited you guys? Um, Slowly but surely it's getting
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: stronger and stronger. I can tell you that, Um. You know,
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: we all we all like each other. We all like
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: the way each other work. You know, we all bring
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: something different to the table, and at the end of
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: the day, we all want to win. So when I
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: talked to Marvin Jones a few weeks ago, this is
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: a veteran, and he was saying, you know, I gotta
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: get used to a little bit to sign Jay Law
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: because he's grinding down on the on the basics, the fundamentals.
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: I assume for a young receiver, that's what you want.
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: I'm here to work. I'm I'm just leaving at that.
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: I'm here to work. I'm here to work. I want
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: to do whatever I gotta do, whatever they want me
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: to do. Good overall. Just tell me about the offseason program.
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: Everybody's talking about every's talking about the energy, the culture.
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: Uh put that into words for me, if you will.
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: What are you feeling from as a team, the excitement
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: level with new this new staff, this new direction. Well
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: when you when you come in every day and you like, say,
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: stack these days and you know they're great days and
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: they weren't bad days. At some point, you know, you
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: get this confidence and that's what he wants us to have.
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: And he want everyone's team that had that confidence and
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: when everybody had a confidence and you also he also
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: wants us as a team and had that bond. And
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: I feel like if a team has a bond as
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: a whole, it's hard to be the team that plays
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: each other. And then you know just the energy the
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: energy comes from that. If I know my my guy
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: next to me is playing for me and giving this all.
• 7:18
