  Speaker 1: two and five, a couple of wins in the last
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: three games. I was with you in London, some camaraderie
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: built up. But what's the mindset going into this week?
• 0:21
  Speaker 2: You know, just.
• 0:23
  Speaker 3: Trying to be as consistent as the team we can
• 0:26
  Speaker 3: be as a team, and I bring you more and
• 0:28
  Speaker 3: more energy as a team, and just going out and
• 0:31
  Speaker 3: compete at a high level.
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: Your personal story, You've talked about it. I'm during training camp.
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: I've talked a little bit about it. Confidence level right now,
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: I guess with the way you're playing as high as
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: it's been since you've been in the league.
• 0:50
  Speaker 3: Well, you know, I feel like my confidence comes from
• 0:53
  Speaker 3: my faith, you know, just just preparation and preparing and
• 0:56
  Speaker 3: then getting understanding of the game. And I also hard
• 1:00
  Speaker 3: work during the off season, you know. You know last
• 1:03
  Speaker 3: year was it learning a season for me first year
• 1:06
  Speaker 3: in the lead, and uh, I just feel like this
• 1:08
  Speaker 3: league about opportunities and confidence come where you know you're
• 1:13
  Speaker 3: getting going. And once again I say, like you have
• 1:16
  Speaker 3: a lot of faith in hard work. You put those
• 1:19
  Speaker 3: two together, it's like your confidence go through the roof.
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: And I don't want to skim over that because you're
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: all about confidence about a tough year. You're a young
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: guy and really went through a tough year in terms
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: of the noise in the system, all those things.
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: But how.
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: How do you maintain that?
• 1:40
  Speaker 2: Meaning?
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: It would have been easy for you to get discouraged,
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: to get down. Uh maybe a couple of times last
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: year you did. But by the time you came back
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: this off season, I don't know, you seem different. You
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: seemed like I guess that truly was behind it. Yeah,
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: Am I reading that right? And then how do you
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: do that?
• 1:57
  Speaker 3: You know, at Arburne we had we been through a
• 2:00
  Speaker 3: lot of adversity, and uh, I feel like that school
• 2:03
  Speaker 3: got me ready for a lot of things. And Uh,
• 2:05
  Speaker 3: when I came to the league and had a little adversity, Uh,
• 2:07
  Speaker 3: I didn't let it change my character. I stayed who
• 2:09
  Speaker 3: I was and true to myself, you know, kept praying
• 2:11
  Speaker 3: and asking God to show me the way.
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: You know, Uh, don't flinch when you get your opportunities.
• 2:15
  Speaker 3: Just try to take full advantage when you go from
• 2:18
  Speaker 3: you know, carrying the ball for for a team consistently
• 2:20
  Speaker 3: consistently that you going to get couple.
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: Of ops here and there. Sure you know it.
• 2:24
  Speaker 3: It it kind of play with you a little bit.
• 2:26
  Speaker 3: Then I learned about the NFL, what the NFL really was.
• 2:28
  Speaker 3: I was like, you know, this is what I gotta do.
• 2:30
  Speaker 3: This is how I gotta come and I just gotta
• 2:32
  Speaker 3: know my job and my role and when I get
• 2:34
  Speaker 3: a opportunity, and I gotta be ready. So whatever it
• 2:36
  Speaker 3: was this off season, you know, I told myself, whatever
• 2:41
  Speaker 3: the Jacks asked out of me, I have to do
• 2:42
  Speaker 3: it at my best ability cause I don't know when
• 2:44
  Speaker 3: the next time I get opportunity.
• 2:45
  Speaker 2: So uh, you.
• 2:47
  Speaker 3: Know, I have a testimony, but it's still it's a
• 2:48
  Speaker 3: story for another day. But it's a it's a it's
• 2:51
  Speaker 3: a blessing, you know, to be able to understand what
• 2:54
  Speaker 3: I went through last year and learned a lesson and
• 2:56
  Speaker 3: get where I'm at today.
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: And you said you sort of learned what the NFL's
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: are all about. And definitely talking to second year guys
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: over the years compared to rookies. That story is pretty common.
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: What did you learn about it, just in terms of
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: what it really took to make it that you didn't
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: realize me he came as a rookie. You know.
• 3:14
  Speaker 3: In college you get so many opportunities and you get right, Yeah,
• 3:18
  Speaker 3: you get to the league and it's a business, you know. Uh,
• 3:22
  Speaker 3: I never forget last year, you know, I wasn't performing
• 3:24
  Speaker 3: well and uh they had bumped me down the third
• 3:29
  Speaker 3: and I was I let it sit I didn't.
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: I didn't let it sit well with me, and I
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: just it just did something to me. You know.
• 3:38
  Speaker 3: I didn't know when the next opportunity was coming, and uh,
• 3:40
  Speaker 3: it just it fired me up. And I was just
• 3:43
  Speaker 3: I still hold that fight to the day, you know,
• 3:45
  Speaker 3: And I just thank God for that put putting me
• 3:48
  Speaker 3: through that, you know, because at the end of the day,
• 3:49
  Speaker 3: I wouldn't be who I am as a man and
• 3:52
  Speaker 3: as a player, you know, if I didn't go through that.
• 3:54
  Speaker 3: So at the end of the day, I thank him
• 3:56
  Speaker 3: for all my trials and tribulations, everything I go through
• 3:59
  Speaker 3: because it been me to a better character.
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: So I feel like, so you wouldn't be the player
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: you are right now if you hadn't gone through what
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: you went through.
• 4:07
  Speaker 3: I wouldn't say that. You know, I feel like I
• 4:09
  Speaker 3: always been capable of who I am. You know, I
• 4:11
  Speaker 3: know who I am.
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: I just feel like I wouldn't know. I wouldn't know
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: who the league.
• 4:14
  Speaker 3: I wouldn't know what the league is now, you know,
• 4:17
  Speaker 3: And by me saying like I wouldn't I know who
• 4:20
  Speaker 3: I am saying like basically like I know how the
• 4:25
  Speaker 3: league go.
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: When you got to be performing, it's a performance lead.
• 4:28
  Speaker 3: And you know, at the end of the day, I knew,
• 4:31
  Speaker 3: you know, when it came down to it, when they
• 4:33
  Speaker 3: told me that, I knew what I.
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: Had to do then.
• 4:35
  Speaker 3: So at the end of the day, when you get
• 4:37
  Speaker 3: the opportunity, you got to take full advantage.
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: And I got you. I was talking to another subject,
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: talking to Christian Kirk yesterday and just about criticism and
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: things that you guys deal with, and he said, at
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: some point you have to shot off your phone. But
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: even when you're shof your phone, you hear it was
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: that a tricky thing to learn how to deal with
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: as a rookie, and I think on some level all
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: players are dealing with.
• 4:59
  Speaker 3: It right well, you know, I've been real disciplined with
• 5:05
  Speaker 3: social media. So it's probably different for me and Kurt.
• 5:09
  Speaker 3: Those guys, I don't know how they do, sure, but
• 5:12
  Speaker 3: criticism from the coaches and the team, and I feel
• 5:15
  Speaker 3: like I take it well, you know, because I feel.
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: Like I need.
• 5:20
  Speaker 3: You know, I need criticism, Bill, Bill, your characters show
• 5:23
  Speaker 3: who you are, and you take it and you learn
• 5:27
  Speaker 3: from it. But anything else, like people people say on
• 5:31
  Speaker 3: the social media and stuff like that, it don't matter
• 5:34
  Speaker 3: because they don't know what actually go on in this building.
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: You don't think, you don't think they know.
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: They don't know. They just clueless.
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: Who did you lean on?
• 5:44
  Speaker 2: You know, I lean on for one, I lean on God,
• 5:46
  Speaker 2: my gam and.
• 5:49
  Speaker 3: My mom, you know, very strong woman, and uh she
• 5:53
  Speaker 3: she told me a lot, you know, kept kept me going.
• 5:56
  Speaker 3: My coach, you know, coach Jamari, we talked and communit indicated.
• 6:01
  Speaker 3: So you know, talking to those two I've been talking
• 6:03
  Speaker 3: to my whole career, and you know, just they knew,
• 6:07
  Speaker 3: you know, they knew, and uh, they just they just
• 6:11
  Speaker 3: kept me uplifted and I just kept praying.
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: Man, you I've been revealing your secret. But I saw
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: an angry run award by your locker, right, that's a
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: cool thing. How cool is that to be that? And
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: you consider yourself an angry runner?
• 6:29
  Speaker 3: Ah, you know, it's it's it's a blessing, man, honestly,
• 6:33
  Speaker 3: you know, just being able to get an opportunity to
• 6:35
  Speaker 3: do that.
• 6:36
  Speaker 2: You know that week is behind us. Let's try to
• 6:38
  Speaker 2: do it again.
• 6:39
  Speaker 3: You put put out best for forward this week, you know,
• 6:42
  Speaker 3: and do it again, and then try to do it again,
• 6:44
  Speaker 3: and do it again, you know, get just keep going,
• 6:48
  Speaker 3: you know that's what That's how I look at it.
• 6:49
  Speaker 3: And but it's a blessing. It's it's a big blessing.
• 6:52
  Speaker 3: You know, a lot of guys you know, it's an accomplishment.
• 6:57
  Speaker 3: But at the end of the day, it's more out
• 6:58
  Speaker 3: there to go get and uh, I'm just you know,
• 7:02
  Speaker 3: excreamingly blost honestly.
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: Kind of a unique thing. There's angry run tank, but
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: there's also speed tank. I mean, and which do you
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: enjoy more? Is it better to fight your way into
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: the end zone or is it better to be turning
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: around and.
• 7:20
  Speaker 2: You know the stiff arm.
• 7:22
  Speaker 3: Honestly, you know, I feel like me, me running running
• 7:26
  Speaker 3: the ball between the tackles, getting me going, and then
• 7:28
  Speaker 3: when I get in space, it kind of just that
• 7:31
  Speaker 3: would come with it.
• 7:32
  Speaker 2: Then I can turn the girl on this. It's just
• 7:34
  Speaker 2: a field thing, you know.
• 7:36
  Speaker 3: But I enjoy, you know, running between the tackle, running
• 7:39
  Speaker 3: physical because I feel like they get the line going
• 7:41
  Speaker 3: and get the guys on the team going, and then
• 7:44
  Speaker 3: when I get an opportunity for that home run and
• 7:46
  Speaker 3: you just take full advantage of it.
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: It was interesting. I remember talking to Travis, I think
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: in his second year when he was first starting to play,
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: and a couple of times he got run down in
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: situations where he didn't feel like he should have been
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: run down, and he was talking a little about how
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: when you come from college you still have to sort
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: of learn how to run in the NFL. It's a
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: different sort of speed. Did you go through any of
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: that with the run against Indy or against the Texans?
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: I guess we didn't quite make it, and then you
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: made it the next week. Yeah, so you learn a
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: little bit in those situations.
• 8:21
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it was a learning lesson, you know.
• 8:22
  Speaker 3: I feel like the game of football all about angles
• 8:26
  Speaker 3: at the running back passion, and he had a good
• 8:29
  Speaker 3: angle on me. If I would have pushed vertical, then
• 8:32
  Speaker 3: got to get got back to the numbers. It probably
• 8:34
  Speaker 3: would have been a different thing. But it's about angles
• 8:38
  Speaker 3: to me, and I feel like I looked at that
• 8:40
  Speaker 3: film and I just ran at an angle and he
• 8:42
  Speaker 3: was coming like this the whole time, and I just say,
• 8:44
  Speaker 3: you know what, now straighten up a little bit, then
• 8:48
  Speaker 3: go there. So when I got to Indy, I had
• 8:51
  Speaker 3: straight up. Then I got to the numbers, and you
• 8:53
  Speaker 3: see when I got an end zone, I cut it
• 8:55
  Speaker 3: across all of it because it just now the defender
• 8:58
  Speaker 3: chasing you just like playing hide and go see I
• 9:00
  Speaker 3: got you know, then you turn right.
• 9:02
  Speaker 2: So it's yeah, I feel like it's about angles now.
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: Doug said you were turning around to make sure. Yeah,
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: taunting or was it a stiff arm or is.
• 9:14
  Speaker 2: It just wouldn't. I ain't no same person.
• 9:19
  Speaker 3: I gotta come up with a celebration though, you know, okay,
• 9:22
  Speaker 3: but I ain't no time person.
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: Now. It took it took Fred Taylor in the nineties
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: a long time to find his celebrations. You know, we
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: talked to him about that. There have been people who
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: have actually said you run fairly similar. Have you watched
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: Fred at all? Do you know much about him?
• 9:37
  Speaker 3: I watch Fred Fred? You know Fred do his thing
• 9:40
  Speaker 3: you know, he's a great run of physical, big running.
• 9:44
  Speaker 3: He got to speed, he got the gear. I watched
• 9:47
  Speaker 3: Fred and fred a compas a lot of great things.
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: Do you did you have anybody I maybe asked just
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: a foreign for that, I apologize, But did you have
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: anybody that you pattern yourself after? Or is that even
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: possible when you're runner? Because it it's such instinct and
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: based on what you do.
• 10:03
  Speaker 2: Yeah, you know at running back position, it is instant.
• 10:06
  Speaker 3: But I always watched Tdd Gurley and I always watched
• 10:09
  Speaker 3: Iving Cook, you know those two guys. I watched Dving
• 10:12
  Speaker 3: Cook how lucive he is. And I always watched that
• 10:15
  Speaker 3: Todd Gurley, how tough he ran. And Uh, I tried
• 10:19
  Speaker 3: to put those two together. And you know, just seeing
• 10:24
  Speaker 3: Diving at f s U and Tied at Georgia, it
• 10:27
  Speaker 3: was like lights out.
• 10:30
  Speaker 2: So as me growing up, I was saying that, I
• 10:32
  Speaker 2: was like, I can beat this fast and I can
• 10:33
  Speaker 2: beat this strong. So I wanted to put those two
• 10:36
  Speaker 2: running backs together.
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: Better attribute for you speed or power?
• 10:42
  Speaker 2: Uh?
• 10:43
  Speaker 3: A lot of people may think it's power, but I
• 10:45
  Speaker 3: think I'm I think I haven't really showed my top speed,
• 10:49
  Speaker 3: you know, but I like I like to run physical though,
• 10:52
  Speaker 3: So it's it's really it's really just whatever it is
• 10:56
  Speaker 3: at the moment when I have to instant show my instincts.
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: Do you run out of bound? Did you challenge that
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: last year?
• 11:02
  Speaker 2: Oh? No, I ain't running out of manh.
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: Conceptually, I Doug talked about this week, so it was
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: on my mind about being in a rhythm in the
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: running game when you're back and like the other day
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: it seemed like you were in a rhythm and feeling it.
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: Is that a real thing where after four or five
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: carries you start feeling it, you start being in a groove.
• 11:27
  Speaker 3: Yeah, you remember earlier I was just telling you about.
• 11:29
  Speaker 3: You know, you go from running the ball a lot,
• 11:31
  Speaker 3: then you go to one too. You know, it's all
• 11:34
  Speaker 3: about getting that line going and getting in a rhythm,
• 11:37
  Speaker 3: you know, and uh, because one run you may miss,
• 11:41
  Speaker 3: and then you go to the sideline on the iPads
• 11:43
  Speaker 3: and then you get that another opportunity. It's the same
• 11:45
  Speaker 3: thing and now that's the home run, and uh that's
• 11:49
  Speaker 3: just what come on. Would have been a runner, you know,
• 11:51
  Speaker 3: a lot of runners not gonna hit the very first run, okay,
• 11:54
  Speaker 3: the very second one, but come fourth quarter you may
• 11:57
  Speaker 3: you may pop out of there and go for eighty
• 11:59
  Speaker 3: or you know, a long home run. So I feel that,
• 12:03
  Speaker 3: you know, stacking old runs on top of each other,
• 12:06
  Speaker 3: letting the backs get go and let the line build
• 12:08
  Speaker 3: of confidence as we're going and hint it and doing
• 12:11
  Speaker 3: what we're supposed to do. I feel like it do
• 12:12
  Speaker 3: build confidence as a team, and it be a confidence
• 12:15
  Speaker 3: as a runner in the line.
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: I know we're looking ahead, but best run you've had
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: so far? Or do you even think that way?
• 12:25
  Speaker 2: No, I don't think like that.
• 12:27
  Speaker 3: You know, I just honestly good or bad, like got
• 12:31
  Speaker 3: flush it. You know, like a lot of people ask me,
• 12:33
  Speaker 3: how did I not harp on last year?
• 12:35
  Speaker 2: Sure finished it?
• 12:36
  Speaker 3: You know, I flashed it. You flushed the good and bad.
• 12:38
  Speaker 3: You don't harp on it. Thank God for it, and
• 12:41
  Speaker 3: let's move on.
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: What has Travis meant to you in terms of uh,
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: just last year he had been through something fairly similar
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: adversity early. What's that relationship?
• 12:52
  Speaker 3: Yeah, Travis, he's a great guy, great running back, cool
• 12:56
  Speaker 3: guy off the field. You know, he very small, he
• 13:00
  Speaker 3: so talented. But you just have him in the room,
• 13:03
  Speaker 3: you know it challenge each other. You know, let's let's
• 13:06
  Speaker 3: see who we can do this. Let's see who can
• 13:08
  Speaker 3: do this. We you know, we make challenges with each
• 13:10
  Speaker 3: other and at the end of the year, we got
• 13:13
  Speaker 3: challenges that we made for each other. If you do this,
• 13:15
  Speaker 3: if I do that, you know. But it's it's all
• 13:20
  Speaker 3: about just the way we we click is more like, bro,
• 13:26
  Speaker 3: you do this, I got to do this, right, We
• 13:28
  Speaker 3: got to feed off like you know. It's it's more
• 13:31
  Speaker 3: like we're trying to become like the best duo in
• 13:33
  Speaker 3: the league. And that's how he look at it. That's
• 13:36
  Speaker 3: how I look at it. We're trying to we're trying
• 13:38
  Speaker 3: to beat out everybody. You're trying to make this team win.
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: There was a cool moment earlier, I forget which game
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: where he was caught on tape saying saying how proud
