  Speaker 1: What what can Dreek Young bring back to you guys
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: with him getting back into things here. Well, dere you know,
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: is a special player because he not only can you know,
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: run routes like a true receiver or a true X receiver,
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: he can you know, get in the backfield and block
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: or you know, make window dressing a lot easier for
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: the offense because he can line up in uh, you know,
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: various different roles of various different positions and you know,
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: get the same job done as a tight end or
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: or a receiver. So he just brings a lot of
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: variety to the offense.
• 1:57
  Speaker 2: We just heard Bobby talking about reaching out to the
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: linebackers when he was young to now he's that guy
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: there he chatter. I know you played different position, but
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: you've also talked a lot about him being the guy
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: that helped you. What do you remember about your first
• 2:10
  Speaker 2: year or two in the league how Bobby was helpful
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: for you.
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: Well, Bobby just was helpful by just him being there
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: whenever I needed you know, some form of guidance or
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: whenever I just needed somebody to bounce a business idea
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: off of, or just being young in the league and
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: you know, trying to find my way of trying to
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: be great but not trying to be great too fast.
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: And you know, he just helped me guide through all
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: the bs and you know, got through my rookie season,
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: my second year. My when you know, you start getting
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: a lot of attention from you know, the opposing defenses
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: or you know, opposing offenses in his uh, you know,
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: on his side of the ball, you know, just how
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: to manage your emotions and just how to you know,
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: just stay you know, true to yourself and be a
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: true professional. So that's what he's uh, you know, taught
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: me since I've been.
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: Here out to you about his work habits when you
• 2:59
  Speaker 2: were at seeing them every day.
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: He's very consistent and you know that stood out to
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: me about him. Russ Uh. Dwayne Brown uh is another
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: one that I throw in there, and they're very consistent
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: about what they do and very you know, intentional about
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: you know, their day and have everything mapped out to
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: where you know, they know what time they're gonna eat,
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: they know what they're gonna eat, they know what they're
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: uh working out that they are you know, their you know,
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: uh rehab habits and everything. So just having a set schedule,
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: you know for the week, so you know, there's no
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: hiccups during the season.
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: When it comes to Washington, they traded away their top
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: two pass rushers, but the defense the.
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: Last couple of weeks still suppressive.
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: What stood out to you I with this group of.
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: Defensive players, Well, they play hard in the interior of
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: of their defense. That hasn't changed much in the past
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: few years. So, uh, they're always gonna play hard. But
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: even the their backups are are rushing hard or you know,
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: the the backups to the guys that they traded away,
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: they're rushing hard and their their back end is very
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: solid and they're very sound with how they rotate and
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: how they uh you know play the play oppost of receivers,
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: and then the way that they handle the Eagles. Uh,
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: the two times that they played them, they they played
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: them pretty tough. So just trying to, like I said, man,
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: just trying to get back to what we do best
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: and not trying to you know, focus on what you
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: know the other team. Uh, you know does pretty well,
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: but just staying trut ourselves and not letting you know,
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: the past couple of weeks or their last game hinder
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: us from you know, focusing on our end goal or
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: who we are as a true offense. What is it
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: that you guys do best offense? Push the ball downfield
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: and you know when it's called, when it calls for
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: us to run the ball, we can be physical in
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: the run game. I think that's the two things that
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: stick out to me most. How easy is that to
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: move on? I mean you talk about Monday kind of
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: face of the truth of it today.
• 4:42
  Speaker 2: Obviously you gotta just forget about that and start moving
• 4:44
  Speaker 2: on and everything.
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: But it is there ever a challenge in doing that
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: at all? I mean, you know, because even after a win,
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: we have to do the same thing. Is all right,
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: we celebrate on Monday, Tuesday, it starts to simmer down.
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: Then Wednesday focus on the next team. So I mean
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: the winning the losses is pretty much the exact in
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: the league. Can't dwell on it too much, but also
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: you got to look for it. And if the players
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: union today put out like a statement about how players
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: have been complaining about the fines and.
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: How frequent they've been this year. Does it feel like
• 5:13
  Speaker 2: the NFL has been tougher on you guys been in
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: previous years.
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: I have no comment about that. I'm not trying to
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: get fined anymore. So, Uh, I mean they're doing a
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: pretty good job from my perspectives. Yes, I've tried to appeal.
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: Tried is the key work. Because they released the things
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: saying how many Yeah, I got all of them back.
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: They did not get appealed. Yeah, it's what I'm saying.
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: They're they're doing a pretty good job.
• 5:42
  Speaker 2: Gotcha. Did you get you know Terry going during the
• 5:46
  Speaker 2: pre draft process?
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: Yeah? I trained with Johnny Dixon and Paris Campbell, which
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: were his teammates at Ohio State, So I got to
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: know Terry Andremnt Jones was his teammate as well, So
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: I got pretty close with that a little Ohio e
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: stay click. Who stands out about the way Terry plays? Uh?
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: He is relentless and uh you know with tracking the ball,
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: he can track it all over the field and when
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: he catches the ball, he's you know, fast with the
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: ball in his hands. So he's just a great receiver
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: in my opinion. And you know, you got to know
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: where he's at every play.
• 6:19
  Speaker 2: Thank you, thank you, y
