• 0:02
  Speaker 1: Love it. Every day is a new challenge. Just take
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: it one step at a time. How wildly different is
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: the fullback stuff for you to kind of pick up.
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: It's a little bit different, But I think coach KP
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: has done a really good job and just critiquing kind
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: of one thing a day, just kind of helping me
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: get better at one thing a day. And uh, it
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: was a little awkward at first, but you know, once
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: the pads came on, I kind of started to feel
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: a little bit of my mojo again, and uh, let's
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: take this thing by the horns. To take a challenge,
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: I'd say, just you know, as as a tight end,
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: you kind of want to be more square with your body,
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: have more of a base h kind of strike with
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: your arms full back. You're you're hitting on the run,
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: so you really gotta take that power foot, as KP says,
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: kind of lower your shoulders and run through them. So
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: just kind of transitioning from one to the other. I
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: think every uh, every padded practice we have get a
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: little bit better at it. And it's definitely something that
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: I do before practice. I'm over there on the crawler
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: in the corner, you know, kind of working on that
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: footwork and running through the target. So I mean it's
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: just like everything. The more practice you get, the better
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: I'll get at it.
• 1:14
  Speaker 2: You feel this position, if it's just kind of your
• 1:16
  Speaker 2: style of play, the.
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: Pistol nature, Yeah, I think it's a great fit. I
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: think I'm kind of built for it naturally, so kind
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: of once we iron a little bit of the technical
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: stuff out, you know, I think I'll be perfect at it.
• 1:29
  Speaker 2: I was.
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's a lot different because you know, at tight end,
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: you're looking at the end sam strong safety, You're not
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: really you know, watching if the three tech plays out
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: or across the guard's face or whatever. So it's a
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: new perspective. And the more film I watch and kind
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: of see these things play out, and the more I
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: look for it, every rep that I get, the faster
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: I picked up on it.
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: It's practice, just talking to you about possible trying to
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: full back.
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: Yeah, there's a couple of teams. I know it's practice.
• 2:08
  Speaker 2: But getting the chance to get the first carry out
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: there in a team session today, what does that feel
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: like for you after now that you've gotten this crash course,
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: holding the football and learning all the ball carrier stomach
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: actually get to do it.
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: It's awesome. It's a dream come true. Uh my last
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: carry was in high school, so uh, you know, it's
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: a little bit rusty at it, but you know, we
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: kind of worked on it a little bit today in
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: our walkthrough. So uh, I'm excited to see where that
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: play goes.
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: Oh yeah, I mean.
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: Go anywhere we can break down.
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: Bill kind of physical community justice on that.
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: Front justice it is a position to.
• 2:47
  Speaker 2: Change how you feel.
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: I think physically we're we're pretty good. We're on the
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: right track, but you know, just kind of picking up
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: on certain things to help me play faster. That's kind
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: of the main thing.
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: Were you surprised called that handoff to you and cool?
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: It's been in the works for a couple of days now,
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: So any else, Okay, thanks for having the go
