  Speaker 1: you can say the past years we didn't practice it
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: as much, so you know, you're not gonna go out
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: to the game and do it. So but we've been
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: practicing it a lot, and uh, you know, we real
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: detailed with the run game. So uh, I believe it
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: wholeheartedly that we're gonna go out there and run the ball.
• 1:16
  Speaker 2: Is that plays on the field? How else is more
• 1:20
  Speaker 2: right back coality showing out around her own around the
• 1:23
  Speaker 2: building or you mean like on the field? Feel how'm
• 1:26
  Speaker 2: how is the approach changing beyond the field about or
• 1:31
  Speaker 2: oh definitely?
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, just even in the meeting rooms everything, it's
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: just you we know we gonna run the ball and
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: we know the identity of what we gonna do on offense.
• 1:38
  Speaker 2: So uh yeah, how about do so to your running style?
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: You know, I can get outside. Uh it's a lot
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: of wide zone, you know. But we have also power.
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: You know, we got all types of schemes that we
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: can do. But I feel like I'm just an explosive
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: back and we can make plays.
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: Running with Plato ready wrestle in front of you. Yeah,
• 1:59
  Speaker 2: I like that.
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: You know, it's just just the extra hat in front
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: of me, and you know, they get physical in there.
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: So I like it a lot because it's just the
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: extra hat and somebody else in front of me, and
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: I can make a move up of that.
• 2:10
  Speaker 2: Do you view having a fullback in front of you?
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: It's interesting talk to Robert Turbin the other day, former
• 2:15
  Speaker 2: Seahawks back, and he said, it's like having a set
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: of eyes in front of you. But do you view
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: it that way now? Having especially a two hundred and
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: seventy five pound guy in front of you just kind
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: of serving, is that extra vision for you? Yeah?
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: Definitely, because if I don't see it and he can
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: see it, I can just follow him and he'll just
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: you know, take me in. Even if we don't hit
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: the right hole, if we hit one hundred percent, it
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: still can make a play. So yeah, definitely an extra
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: set of eyes.
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: What's what's different about your diet?
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: And Yeah, it's more like more of like a routine.
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: You know, I'm here eating more healthy, clean foods at
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: the facility, and then my sleeping habits habits I sleep
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: at around ten ten thirty, you know, these past few years,
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: even in college, I used to stay up to one just.
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: Just standing up.
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: So yeah, it's definitely helped a lot, and I feel
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: much better, you know, and extra recovery definitely helps a
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: lot when I come back out here and practice again.
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: So in uh six fifteen, so I'll be up early
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: for camp and change.
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: Honestly, just talking to my pops, you know, my pops
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: really helped me out with my routine and everything.
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: So by eating habits. You know, if I eat something,
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: he'd be like, Nah, you shouldn't be eating that. So
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: he always on top me about that type of stuff.
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: So no, I just got the discipline to do it.
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: And what's the biggest difference? So are you not my stomach?
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: Going back to uh glad Bob, I just said, did
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: you notice the sleep thing really helping a lot?
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: Oh?
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: Yeah, definitely, Like even my body like recovery wise, it's
• 3:44
  Speaker 2: helped a lot.
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: Uh A lot of times you can have like when
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: I used to stay up alive, my legs won't be
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: fully recovered how it is now, you know, even extra recovery,
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: like like I said, after I leave the building, extra
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: recovery has been helping a lot too.
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: So yeah, I.
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: Definitely noticed the difference, and the way I'll sleep back.
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: The breaks question. Do you notice just you noticed offensive
• 4:07
  Speaker 2: linement Jerry, some of.
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: You notice how they attacking the drills to play the mentality? Yeah? Uh,
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: they definitely definitely physical bro way more physical. And I
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: feel like this scheme helps them a lot too, because
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: we actually detailed on the run game.
• 4:22
  Speaker 2: You know, we go over every day, day in and.
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: Day out, uh, on how we wanted to be ran
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: and you know who they supposed to be blocking.
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: So I definitely see a big difference, especially physical history
• 4:35
  Speaker 2: where Tom Cable met with Marshawn Lynch and had a
• 4:37
  Speaker 2: convinced him, like you to run in this specific way
• 4:40
  Speaker 2: and not always you know, improvised. Have you got any
• 4:43
  Speaker 2: conversations with John Benson about like how he pphysically wants
• 4:46
  Speaker 2: to offense.
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean when he goes over the place, he
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: pretty much says where he wants to bax to hit it.
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: But I feel like after you hit the hole, and
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: that's just you let the runner be the runner. So
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: you're your contract, your future? How big a factor is
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: that and what kind of.
• 5:03
  Speaker 2: Opportunity could this offense be in this particular year for
• 5:06
  Speaker 2: your great can you react that your contract got your
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: your deal?
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: How much is that a factor in your mind right now?
• 5:13
  Speaker 2: What's your future is and where you're gonna go? And
• 5:15
  Speaker 2: then how much could in this offense that says it's
• 5:18
  Speaker 2: gonna run the ball more go exactly great timing for
• 5:21
  Speaker 2: you in the past year.
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: Yeah with that part, honestly, I just wanna be positive
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: and you know, keep my mind on football and not
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: the contract and all that.
• 5:29
  Speaker 2: Uh.
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: I really just wanna make a positive impact on my
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: team and go out there and play to the best
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: of my ability.
• 5:34
  Speaker 2: And that's what I've been wanna do since my rookie
• 5:36
  Speaker 2: year to now.
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: So i'm'a just keep that same mindset and not worry
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: about everything like contract and everything.
• 5:42
  Speaker 2: What was the second part of your question? How much
• 5:44
  Speaker 2: just the running game gost a perfect timing for you
• 5:46
  Speaker 2: where you are in your career, contract and all running
• 5:49
  Speaker 2: the ball more for a guy.
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: Who can kind of find out, Well, I feel like
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: that's just more opportunities, you know, for the for me
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: to show what I can do on the field.
• 5:57
  Speaker 2: And yeah, that's that's pretty much it to them or
• 5:59
  Speaker 2: they commute.
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: I'm sorry, but not good any contract knock.
• 6:03
  Speaker 2: At all, No, not that I know of. Thank you
• 6:07
