  Speaker 1: Going back to twenty eighteen was the last time that
• 0:02
  Speaker 1: I was around this stuff.
• 0:04
  Speaker 2: But I was hurt and wasn't able.
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: To experience a you know, the zoo of the media
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: and things like that. But I do remember thinking when
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: we're going through that, you know that you just have
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: to have some gratitude for you know, be thankful for
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: being in this place. It's not every time that, uh,
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: it's not often that you get to be like this,
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: to be right here, and so taking into a data time,
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: being where your feet are, knowing that you know you
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: yet you get an hour and a half that you
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: get gonna be, you know, doing me.
• 0:29
  Speaker 2: You're gonna be doing whatever it is, and then you're
• 0:31
  Speaker 2: gonna have time you're.
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: Doing football and just being where you are and having
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: some gratitude for that time. Game in Europe specifically, and
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: that's a great question, uh.
• 0:50
  Speaker 2: I mean, would it be. I haven't been to Europe before.
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: I've always we've always planned on going over there, and
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: then my wife and I we get pregnant and then
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: we can we end up not going and so.
• 1:01
  Speaker 2: You can Yeah, I mean I would like to go
• 1:05
  Speaker 2: to Italy. So somewhere over somewhere in Italy, celebrated.
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, I think there's It's maybe one of
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: those things that's very understated, is you know how quickly
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: the NFL can, you know, show up and spit out
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: a quarterback who doesn't perform up to the standards that
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: people have placed on them early in their career, and
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: you can just get you can get basically blackballed and
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: just saying well, you're not a starting quarterback, you know.
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: And you know, for Sam being able to do what
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: he did and go through the early trials that he
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: did and be able to come back from that and
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: maintain just be like, man, I know that he knows
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: the mistakes that he's made, he knows the things that work,
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: the things that didn't, but not to be scarred by them,
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: to not allow them to become something that he, you know,
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: shied away from.
• 1:55
  Speaker 2: It's impressive. It's really impressive.
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: It takes a lot of mental quartor tude to be
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: able to push through those things and to be here
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: now and do what he's done the last couple of
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: years is uh, it's uh, there's not many people that
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: have done it, so it's it speaks to his uh,
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: his ability to come through that stuff. Us going down and.
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: Expected to get right. Now I'm invested in this, yeah,
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: trying to expand it. Yeah. Well, and also I wore
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: the shirt you see that.
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: You know, Mike's famous saying that we did not care,
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: you know, and I think that's, uh, that's what That's
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: what it was. I mean, we were we were so
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: inward focused this whole year. It's been about us. It's
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: been about us in that room. It's been about those
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: guys in the four walls of that team room. It's
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: the belief that we had in ourselves that mattered, and
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: we and we knew that, we believe in that, and
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: so in the outside noise, it's really is just it's
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: water off your back, you know. It's just you're not
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: you're not letting that carry any weight. And so, you know,
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: for us, there's always this believe there's always an understanding
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: and expectation to go out there and win games.
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: And so when you.
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: Lose a game, it hurts, and it hurts how it
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: should because the expectations to go out there and win
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: it and and we live by that and I stuck
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: to that process. And it's a lot of seats this place, remember, teammates.
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: Yeah, well, I don't know. Maybe people like being proven
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: wrong mathematical model.
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: Yeah, you've done some research that those back there. Ways,
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: I took econometrics class. I'm an econ major. I took
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: an econometrics class back in my senior year, and I
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: really got into I really enjoyed it about forecast seeing
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: and being able to find, like, you know, great models
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: that can predict, you know, what might happen in the future.
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: And so I got really into trying to predict future
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: success of NFL players moving through different levels of football. Right, So,
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: like if you took a high school player and took
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: all these different variables statistics, you know, measurables, hair color,
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: eye color, you know, like how good was the football
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: in the state they were playing, how many games they have,
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: all these different things. Could you forecast how good they'd
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: be in college? I think you take the college stuff
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: and forecast how good they'd be in the NFL. And
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: so the idea is to be to create a tool
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: that you could use to help guide scouts essentially or
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: recruiters and trying to predict if someone was gonna be
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: successful taking a bunch of variables that maybe you don't
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: account for. Yeah, it was more so, Yeah, it was
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: more so just cool. It was cool to be a
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: part of it was cool to like build it out
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: and see the things that see the things that mattered.
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: I guess, yeah, I mean just just how we always have.
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: I mean, you have to respect your opponent and you're
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: playing in the super Bowl and know that you know
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: they're here for a reason, and you know they've played
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: some very good football. They've got a defense that plays
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: together and it's a great I'm sure a sign of
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: a good defense is a team that plays together and
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: you see guys understanding where their help is and you
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: know there's not guys running off and doing their own thing,
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: and so they got a lot of playmakersons on that
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: side of the ball. It's gonna be a great challenge
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: for us, and we take the same process we do
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: any other week, you know, trying to diagnose it, understand it,
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: and figure out ways to attack it.
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: I think most of it's just handling. Handling, that's handling
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: all of this stuff during the week and allowing your
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: process to take place. Still, there's lots of things that
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: want to get in the way and disrupt it. But
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: you know, trying to stay on that schedule of understanding
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: the times you're gonna watch the film, your study of
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: the playbook, and just being where your feet are, knowing
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: that this is this is something that has to happen.
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: Have some gratitude for being in this moment and enjoy it.
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: But then when it's time to work, you go through
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: and and and do the.
• 6:02
  Speaker 2: Work about the game itself.
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: Though, what advice have you given? It's yeah, but I
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: mean it's a it's a it's a big game because
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: of what everyone else says. It is right, but it's
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: it's still the same game. The game is no bigger, smaller.
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: There's the football is the same size. I mean, every
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: it's the same thing. It's the footballs, the football field
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: is no bigger. And so you go out there and
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: play this game. I understand that once the game starts,
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: is gonna feel it just like any other game you've
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: played in your life. And you have that expectation, and
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: guys on this team know that, and they they've handled
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: things big moments.
• 6:35
  Speaker 2: You know, when you prepare the right way, big moments
• 6:37
  Speaker 2: become just like anything else. Understanding Ah, geez, I have
• 6:43
  Speaker 2: no idea.
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: You know, I was, uh, you know, I like I
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: like some of the some of the J Cole stuff.
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: Maybe go Middle Child by by J Cole. I've used
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: that one before obviously, Thermosa cold Cave like very cold.
• 7:03
  Speaker 2: Yeah, Jackson, I'm Jackson's special player.
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: So I mean we wouldn't be here without without Jackson
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: what he's done this year and the plays he's made
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: and come up in some touch moments.
• 7:11
  Speaker 2: So yeah, he's a he's a very special player for us.
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: And and the team guy that just wants to he
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: wants to win about anything else and wants to win.
• 7:18
  Speaker 2: And so it's fun to be play alongside of Jackson
• 7:22
  Speaker 2: and your teammate coup or Offensive Player of the Year award.
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: Obviously you've gotten to watch both of them blosts a
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: little bit and developed How cool is that as all
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: almost like a kind of big brother feeling see that
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: come along with become these superstars and you have been
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: for so long. Yeah, I think the main thing is
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: just being I mean I've I've gotten very close with
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: both of them just from just as a friend and
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: a teammate, and so you see, those guys they were
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: great players before I.
• 7:46
  Speaker 2: Had anything to do with with them, before i'd ever
• 7:48
  Speaker 2: met them.
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: They were great in their own right, and so he's
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: great to being able to see those guys he recognized
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: for putting together seasons that have been very special.
• 7:57
  Speaker 2: So yeah, I think that's that's the approach. I take
• 8:01
  Speaker 2: your experiences, both winning and young people. Are you shared
• 8:06
  Speaker 2: these experiences with your teammates at all in the big game?
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean talking talking, I mean you talk through
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: these things. But it's it's the same message everyone says.
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: I think the only thing that I bring is maybe
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: a little more a little validity because I've lived it.
• 8:19
  Speaker 2: But it's like, this is as cliche as it is.
• 8:21
  Speaker 2: This is just like any.
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: Other game and you have to go and and handle
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: all the distractions and things like that. But no, this
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: is the game that same me that you've played, and
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: when it starts up, it's gonna feel.
• 8:30
  Speaker 2: That way already what this game is this season? Yeah,
• 8:39
  Speaker 2: well I think uh.
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: I think one of the things that's been really cool
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: to see is, you know, as he took off this year,
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: he was getting a lot of attention, and your teams
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: want to take him away. They're gonna try to find
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: ways to keep him being the ball and his focus
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: to be able to push him and say it might
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: not it might not be there in the first and
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: second quarter, but being able to stay focused and say
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: if I can stay engaged, to say, if I know
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: that I can keep my my mind focused on just
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: the next play and winning that rep, the ball's.
• 9:05
  Speaker 2: Gonna find me.
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: And so he's done an unbelievable job of that of
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: being you know, there's times it might not be coming
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: to him early, but he's made that play, big play
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: in the third or fourth quarter because he's been so
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: engaged even when the ball's not coming his way. Oh,
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: I mean, that's it's it's something I think that you
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: learn as you played receiver, as more time goes on,
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: and understand that you know, there's a ten other guys
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: out there that have to do their job for you
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: to even have the chance of getting the ball thrown
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: your way. And you can do everything right and the
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: ball still might not come your way, and that's okay
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: because it's not about it's not about you making the play.
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: It's about the team making the play. And that's the
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: the beautiful thing about receiver. Yeah, I mean, I've touched
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: on this a little bit, but I mean it's it's
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: unbelievable story.
• 9:49
  Speaker 2: It's not.
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: Uh, there's not many guys that have done what he's
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: done in terms of you know, kind of people writing
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: him off and then being able to you know, chip
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: away at that and come back and do do what
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: he's do be at this stage now, and it's you know,
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: the mental forward, to the resilience to be able to
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: push thro those use the self belief.
• 10:07
  Speaker 2: It's a it's a special trade of Sam Donald's. What
• 10:10
  Speaker 2: about your role in all of this.
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: This is the third youngest team in the NFL right now,
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: but there's been some veterans added in the last couple
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: of years, you being one.
• 10:17
  Speaker 2: Should you describe your role amidst early hour?
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean I think I just want to be an
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: open book. However I can help someone if they do.
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: I think that's an attitude of all the guys. I
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: mean to say, it's servant leadership, and it's not we're
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: not here to run the team. The guys that are
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: here that have been through it.
• 10:32
  Speaker 2: We're not.
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: We're not the we're not the ones that set the culture.
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: The team sets that together. And so guys want to
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: be an open book. If there's something that guys want
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: to ask us and have questions or anything like.
• 10:43
  Speaker 2: We're we're ready to help and and it's, uh, it's.
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: Because of that that you got guys that are intrinsically
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: motivated to want to be better.
• 10:49
  Speaker 2: That's what makes us good. Does it help that you've
• 10:51
  Speaker 2: been a Super Bowl MVP? Like is that something you
• 10:53
  Speaker 2: can impart or do you guys look at you a
• 10:55
  Speaker 2: little bit deeper for that?
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: Oh?
• 10:56
  Speaker 2: I don't know.
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: I mean I would never just be hey, you gotta
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: listen to me because I've won the zero and VP.
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: You know, it's it's if you're not you got modeled
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: the way you got to show them. I mean it's
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: people over and over again, they see better than they hear.
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: So it doesn't really matter what you're saying to somebody.
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: If you're not modeling that yourself, you just come off
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: as a hypocrite. And so you definitely don't want to
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: don't want to, don't live in that world.
• 11:16
  Speaker 2: You're actually instil Like I don't know, it's always like
• 11:26
  Speaker 2: your favorite mastagers. Did you try to start like the
• 11:28
  Speaker 2: Serio to get back on this year? Yeah?
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: I mean it was a tough way for things to
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: end last year. And you know there's will be a
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: time to kind of really you know, reflect and go
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: into that stuff. Right now, it's about going out here
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: and winning a super Bowl, and so like this, this
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: journey and being able to be a part of this
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: team and the guys here and the relationships that I've
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: built with the players and the coaches here have been
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: such a special thing. And you know, to be a
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: year ago where I was to being able to be
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: here now, you know, I don't take that, take that
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: for granted, and don't take that lightly. It's a I
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: s a real sense of gratitude for.
• 12:02
  Speaker 2: Being where I'm now. Oh I don't.
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: I mean, there's there's there's so many I don't know
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: if I could even put my finger on one of them.
• 12:10
  Speaker 2: I think the thing that I remember.
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: The most, that comes to mind all the time has
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: been the relationships. It's been like the moments with the guys.
• 12:18
  Speaker 2: And that's the coolest thing about football.
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: You go through all this, you spend so much time together,
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: You toil together, you fail together, and being able to
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: go through that and overcome those things together, it builds
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: some really cool bombs with guys. And those are the
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: things that I think I hold dearest. You grow up.
• 12:36
  Speaker 2: Your memories of supporting the seas and whether that makes
• 12:39
  Speaker 2: a good reason going to be at all. Yeah.
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: So when I was when I was really young, I
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: was a huge Seahawks fan until I found out the
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: bedtime was when the game ended, and so then I
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: just became an overtime fan. And uh, but I do
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: have a lot of a lot of memories of you know,
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: every like every Sunday, we'd get up, we'd go to church,
• 12:59
  Speaker 1: come home, Dad, make knac chos or something and we
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: throw the Sea Oxy game on.
• 13:02
  Speaker 2: And so it's a just especially the members, with your
• 13:06
  Speaker 2: with your fans, those kinds of things.
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: Is it's it's it's the the memories. It's like the
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: games itself, but it's like it's not sowhat like the play.
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: You remember the moments of like these big plays and
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: these big moments happened on the end the game. But
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: it wasn't so much for me the play itself as
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: much as it was who I was around and the
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: people that you know, I got to experience that.
• 13:24
  Speaker 2: With that make it really special. Yeah, no, it is.
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: It's super cool and there will be there'll be a
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: time to really be able to reflect on that. You
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: know that, you know, I get to be a part
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: of that for some kids, are you know right where
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: I was and then the shoes that I was in,
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: and so there'll be time for that reflection. Right now,
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: I'm just really grateful to be in this place or earlier.
• 13:49
  Speaker 2: And we talked guys as.
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: Well, and something that Jays Sennon said is that it's
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: not just a lot of receiver that play outside too
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: as well.
• 13:57
  Speaker 2: What makes this offense by Queen Cook do.
• 13:59
  Speaker 1: It that all these receivers can just play it in
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: all these papers? Yeah, I think I love it is
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: a willingness by receivers to be able to move around
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: and go do different jobs and not be locked into saying, well,
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: you know I can't do that because I'm a I
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: only played this position.
• 14:13
  Speaker 2: I only do this thing.
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: There's no one trick ponies allowed, and guys being able
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: to move in and out of the of the of
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: the huddle and for different personnel groupings and things like that,
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: and you know, guys lining up understanding the offense will
• 14:25
  Speaker 1: wants to line up in any different spot. It makes
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: it uh makes a challenging for defenses to try to
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: take guys away. And it comes down to, you know,
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: one of the offensive coaches, trusting us to be able
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: to know our stuff, but also the players to be
• 14:38
  Speaker 1: able to know their playbook well enough to be able
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: to do those simps.
• 14:40
  Speaker 2: And one last question for you.
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: I'm just curious about this because I heard this on
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: the podcast that you were on.
• 14:46
  Speaker 2: You said one time, don't put your socks all the
• 14:48
  Speaker 2: way up. Yeah, stretch them up just a little bit. Listen,
• 14:51
  Speaker 2: we're in our thirties. Yeah, I need I need to
• 14:53
  Speaker 2: know that. What do I do with my socks? Yeah?
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: Look, if you're wearing if you're wearing long tube socks,
• 14:59
  Speaker 1: you just don't pull them so they're straight up all
• 15:02
  Speaker 1: the way up the calf.
• 15:04
  Speaker 2: You know what I mean?
• 15:05
  Speaker 1: There has to be some amount of scrunch, some kind
• 15:07
  Speaker 1: of texture that you're putting on there, because otherwise I
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: think you look like that.
• 15:11
  Speaker 2: You know, you look at like that eighty year old dude.
• 15:13
  Speaker 1: With the short shorts and the pants, the socks pulled up.
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: You don't have you'll you'll have time to be that
• 15:17
  Speaker 1: guy right right, right right now. We're our back's healthy.
• 15:21
  Speaker 1: We can get down there and scruncher socks little bit.
• 15:25
  Speaker 1: So I'm a I'm a notoriously not black sock guy.
• 15:31
  Speaker 1: But you know, I've I've recently come around to the
• 15:33
  Speaker 1: belief that you could wear black socks in the right situation, so,
• 15:37
  Speaker 1: you know, teach their own but scruncher socks. Yeah, yeah,
• 15:44
  Speaker 1: it's been great. It's been really fun getting to know
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: him better. Obviously was a huge fan of him just
• 15:48
  Speaker 1: in terms of his time at Ohio SAD. I thought
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: he was a really good, good receiver, did some really
• 15:53
  Speaker 1: good things to feel for how offenses worked and things
• 15:56
  Speaker 1: like that. But it's been great to get you know
• 15:57
  Speaker 1: them better, just you know, go through this year and he's.
