00:00 And if I could be a Swiss Army knife of sorts play with plug and play type of guy then so be it
00:05 I'll do that very well. What did you have a good indication?
00:07 You know, nothing's guaranteed in this business I
00:11 Each day, you know, I went out there and just put my best foot forward especially on game day. You know, that's
00:16 That's the film. That's that's what really matters
00:18 So, you know started stacking some some good games some plays on specials and defense and you know
00:24 I didn't hang my hat on that. But like I said once I didn't get that phone call. I was feeling good
00:29 For you is maybe versatility or flexibility one and one of the two I know a lot of these guys been saying that yeah
00:35 You know, I think that's something that's worked to my advantage
00:38 Is my ability to play multiple positions?
00:41 Given the opportunity I want to hone in on a specific role and kind of detail it and you know
00:46 perfect my craft in that sense and
00:48 While I'm in the situation, I'm in whatever role I'm putting I'm gonna put the work necessary to maximize it
00:54 Coming into the summer. Did was there any thought that you and Chandon could both stick around make the team, you know
01:02 That's that's the goal is to have you know, you want to see everybody stay around
01:05 But at the end of the day, it was a competitive spot. I'm happy my dog still on the team, you know
01:11 Get to do it together
01:13 You know, it's a dope opportunity, you know, whoever gets the spot, you know
01:19 We're gonna pick him up make sure he gets their job done for that day. And it's cool
01:23 Did you was there a moment where you guys started to realize like how many both of us could stick around this season?
01:28 We were talking a little bit the other day and then yesterday after four o'clock. You called me up. It was like congrats, bro
01:34 Oh, there's no congrats to you too. First time making the active. So it's like it's something I'm excited about
01:39 You know guys do a lot about yourself what it stands out to you just about this team this group of players that you guys
01:44 Have assembled now that all 53 are locked in. Yeah, you know, it's a team of brothers
01:49 I think I think a lot of guys are locked in on getting to know each other caring about each other more than just
01:54 the fact that we share a locker room and
01:56 You know, that's a beautiful thing football is a sport that I really appreciate because it requires everybody to participate everybody to be on their stuff
02:03 And you know relationships kind of keep it going so I could trust you trust the guy next to me
02:08 Then you know, we're almost guaranteed to be successful
