• 1:03
  Speaker 1: like a punk rocker when you're out there. Maybe it's
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: the piercings, maybe it's the earrings, maybe it's the hair,
• 1:08

• 1:25
  Speaker 6: guess something like that, but like that, you know, it's
• 1:27

• 1:29

  Speaker 6: They cowboy boots, you know what I'm saying from uh
• 3:56
  Speaker 6: kind of country town.
• 3:57
  Speaker 5: So it's in the roots a little bit.
• 3:58
  Speaker 6: So I just wanted to rock him here there think
• 4:01
  Speaker 6: of only warm like twice, but really I could be
• 4:03
  Speaker 6: doing yard working them, to be honest.
• 4:05
  Speaker 5: But that's about it.
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: Yard work and sometimes showing up to the games something
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: I love it. Okay, Well, let's get into the position
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: group a little bit more in a segment we like
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: to call talk about it all right, let's go around
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: the running backs room. Latavius, you are, I want to say,
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: ten years older than James and tie. You fit right
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: in there as well, not being a guy who's been
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: in the NFL for ten years yet, but you've been
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: in the NFL for a few years. This is about
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: your fourth year in the NFL. Fifth okay, and then
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: James here in your second year in the NFL. Latavious,
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: do you feel like it's it's tough to keep up
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: with these young guys in the in the locker room?
• 4:53
  Speaker 4: Nah?
• 4:53
  Speaker 7: Nah, nah, I keep I keep them young. I keep
• 4:57
  Speaker 7: them young. They got to keep up with me. I
• 5:00
  Speaker 7: got a lot of energy. Yeah, I I like to
• 5:03
  Speaker 7: think I'm like a big kid myself, so they gotta
• 5:06
  Speaker 7: keep up with me.
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: James does he.
• 5:08
  Speaker 2: Keep up for the most part, for the most part,
• 5:13
  Speaker 2: he he he he he he holding up.
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: Well. When you guys are on the field, you have
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: quite different running styles, uh, from what you're able to
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: do from the yards that you're able to gain. You
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: all do it in different ways and you all excel
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: at the ways that you do it. So, Ty, could
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: you describe what is impressive about the way that James
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: is able to get up the field.
• 5:34
  Speaker 6: It's crazy, like he sees the whole field. He's elusive,
• 5:37
  Speaker 6: you know what I'm saying. If there's a cup back,
• 5:38
  Speaker 6: he's gonna make it. He doesn't like to go down,
• 5:41
  Speaker 6: and you know you've seen it from game one til now,
• 5:44
  Speaker 6: like he's really just carrying people. He's going the shoulder
• 5:46
  Speaker 6: two and getting after it. So you know, his game
• 5:49
  Speaker 6: goes keep improving every week.
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: And then Latavious, what impresses you about Ty's game?
• 5:56
  Speaker 5: Ty?
• 5:57
  Speaker 7: Ty has tremendous speed, low center of gravity. So you've
• 6:02
  Speaker 7: seen him carrying guys to pushing the pile. Uh, you know,
• 6:06
  Speaker 7: but it's speed. I think you know it to be.
• 6:08
  Speaker 4: To have so so much power and be able to
• 6:12
  Speaker 4: you know, have that much speed. It's you know, that's
• 6:15
  Speaker 4: just tough to tough to defeld.
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: Then James Otavious maybe thirty three years old, but he's
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: got some speed. To describe his game when.
• 6:22
  Speaker 3: He's on the field at yeah, I mean he he
• 6:25
  Speaker 3: he he he.
• 6:26
  Speaker 2: He think he the fastest running back so you but nah,
• 6:29
  Speaker 2: but he he could do it all. You know, run, catch,
• 6:34
  Speaker 2: you know, past block, So I mean he just got
• 6:37
  Speaker 2: everything in the toolbox that that that.
• 6:39
  Speaker 3: Make him good.
• 6:40
  Speaker 2: And you I mean you can see it now. Been
• 6:42
  Speaker 2: playing for a long time and seeing a lot of things,
• 6:45
  Speaker 2: so just shows it.
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: So Tavious, why do you think James has been able
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: to reach another level this season?
• 6:55
  Speaker 7: Just just continuing to to work, continue to come in.
• 6:58
  Speaker 7: He practice practice the right way, and I think a
• 7:01
  Speaker 7: lot of that carry over to the game. Just you know,
• 7:04
  Speaker 7: improving each week. I think he's he's just gotten better
• 7:07
  Speaker 7: as the season gone on. But just running with physicality
• 7:13
  Speaker 7: still being elusive, just you know, just just being being.
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: Being in the bag that he can be tye in
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: like the back half of the season, this offense ranks
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: top ten, top five in rushing averages per game, a
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: lot of that is also kudos to the offensive line,
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: the guys up front blocking for you guys opening up holes,
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: you guys being patient enough to find them and get through.
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: What can you say about the five men up front
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: who have been doing an awesome job this year starts.
• 7:39
  Speaker 6: With the line of scrimmage. You know what I'm saying.
• 7:41
  Speaker 6: They establish a new line scrimmager. Every tell me run
• 7:43
  Speaker 6: the ball, and they want to run the ball. And
• 7:45
  Speaker 6: then you know they're being physical. They're just moving people
• 7:47
  Speaker 6: in our our jobs easy compared to theirs.
• 7:49
  Speaker 5: You know what I'm saying. We just follow them and
• 7:51
  Speaker 5: they're creating the gaps for so all we gotta do
• 7:53
  Speaker 5: is run. At the end of the day, we got
• 7:54
  Speaker 5: the easy parts.
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: It's fun to see who's on the field, whether it's
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: you guys are switching off, whether it's a James game,
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: whether Latavius you're getting a lot of carries once you're
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: inside the red zone, or Tie you're pushing the pile.
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: What has it been like, James to get to know
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: these guys in the running backs room. How have you
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: guys been able to grow closer to each other?
• 8:15
  Speaker 2: I mean, it's just fun, Like you know, we all
• 8:18
  Speaker 2: come in, you know, get the work done, but you know,
• 8:21
  Speaker 2: we also have fun with it, you know, just just
• 8:25
  Speaker 2: try to stay locked in it as at the same time.
• 8:27
  Speaker 2: So just kind of having that balance in the room,
• 8:30
  Speaker 2: you know what, we.
• 8:31
  Speaker 3: Can turn it on and turn it off. Is always fun.
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: When it comes to turning on having more fun. Latavius,
