This team had a lot of players transfer
0:06
out in the offseason, but a lot of the
0:07
wide receiver group stayed here,
0:10
including Kobe K with him before came
0:13
back out. What was it about that recruit
0:15
that you think helped a lot of the guys
0:17
to stay around the coaching transition?
0:22
Um, really, we love UNCC as a whole, uh,
0:24
school-wise, you know, it's a great
0:25
education. And I mean a lot of a lot of
0:27
us guys like we're really close off the
0:29
field so just talking to each other
0:31
seeing what we were thinking and then we
0:32
had a good coach coach Bichc's heart to
0:34
pass up on that. Then coach McGee came
0:36
in and we talked to him and we had some
0:38
talks and we liked everything that he
0:40
talked about. So that's really why we
0:42
just decided to stay together and keep
0:44
building.
0:45
Follow on that. A lot of the senior
0:48
group graduated last year. Who stepped
0:50
up early on in camp as sort of a senior
0:54
leader in that room?
0:55
I mean, we're a young group, so Coach
0:57
McGee, he knew that coming in and he
0:59
told us we were going to have to make
1:00
plays early. So, really, everybody's
1:01
just been making plays, making the most
1:03
of our opportunity, and that's really
1:05
just everybody stepping up and getting
1:06
better each day.
1:08
We go Jeremiah in front.
1:09
Yeah, Jeremiah.
1:11
Alex, for you personally, obviously, you
1:13
know, coming out of that first year and
1:15
everything like that, what do you feel
1:17
were some of the main lessons that you
1:18
learned in your first year of college,
1:20
but also what would you consider, you
1:22
know, maybe some of the strengths of
1:24
your game at this point?
1:25
Um, really I learned to just be patient
1:28
and waste your time, make most of your
1:29
opportunities. You know, I didn't really
1:30
get a lot uh to show what I could do
1:32
last year. So, it's kind of a little
1:34
motivation factor for me just to show
1:36
what I can do. And I just learned, you
1:38
know, just just be patient in the
1:40
process. Take your time. Learn what you
1:42
can learn from the older guys. You know,
1:43
like you said, we had guys like JJ and
1:45
Neol last year and I learned a lot from
1:47
them. So, just really building off of
1:49
that and showing the younger guys now
1:50
what I can do. And um I feel like some
1:53
of my strengths are uh you know,
1:54
catching, making some of those 50/50
1:56
balls 8020 really. So, just trying to
1:58
come up with any ball if it's in uh in
2:00
my way.
2:01
Let's go to Aaron. uh Aaron Beard for
2:03
the AP sever several players as we got
2:06
out of spring into the early summer
2:07
talked about it was pretty unique to be
2:09
coached by Bill Bich had a lot of people
2:11
asking what it's like now you've gone
2:13
through a camp or most of camp you're
2:15
still grinding through it been coached
2:17
hard by these guys for several weeks I'm
2:18
curious does it feel more normal for
2:21
lack of a better term as opposed to the
2:23
celebrity factor when he came in and do
2:25
you still get a lot of questions from
2:26
tonight
2:27
um right now it's definitely normal now
2:30
you know we don't I don't been with him
2:31
since June January. So, I done got to
2:34
stay with him, have conversations with
2:35
him, just build over the time. And, you
2:37
know, it's still kind of crazy to think
2:38
about like, "Wow, Bill Bich's your
2:40
coach." But, I mean, we're getting close
2:42
to the season. So, it's like I mean,
2:43
it's just there. And, uh, I still kind
2:46
of get some questions from friends.
2:48
They're like, "So, how is he?" Stuff
2:49
like that. I'm just like, I mean, he's a
2:50
regular person just like us. So, it's
2:53
pretty normal now. I'm used to it.
2:56
Andrew Jones start
2:58
throw some darts pretty tight balls.
3:01
finish through whatever route or getting
3:03
the ball from you.
3:05
Um, I mean, I just try to put him in the
3:08
best situation I can, find the holes in
3:10
the defense, uh, seeing if he wants to
3:12
give me a little check or something,
3:13
reading the coverages and stuff like
3:14
that. I mean, we got a I got a little
3:16
used to left-hand quarterbacks. You
3:18
know, my high school, I play with guy
3:19
Ryan Steven, so I'm used to that
3:20
left-hand ball and, uh, we was throwing
3:22
in the offseason uh, as a whole group,
3:24
so kind of got used to catching the ball
3:26
from him and seeing what he likes and
3:28
things like that. Was there any
3:29
adjustment with the way he throws? Kind
3:32
of a different release point. Let's say
3:33
Matt's like five in taller tighter ball.
3:37
Was there any adjustment with that?
3:38
Um, not really. Uh, like I said, I'm
3:40
used to left hand, so it wasn't too much
3:43
difference with that. And yeah, it's
3:45
it's pretty pretty similar to things I
3:47
experienced in the past.
3:53
Adam Smith in South Carolina. Hey, Alex.
3:55
uh when when Bellich was in here, he
3:57
called you smart, dependable, and
3:59
versatile. Like how do you think you
4:01
have gone about sort of earning that
4:04
trust from what is pretty much an
4:07
entirely new coaching staff? Like what
4:09
has been important to you to show them
4:12
about your game?
4:14
Uh just like I said, making the most of
4:16
what I can do, you know, anytime I'm on
4:18
the field, whether it's special teams,
4:19
offense, just showing what I can do in
4:21
those situations. Then, you know, him
4:23
coming from the NFL, I know special
4:24
teams is a huge process. Like, we have
4:26
more guys on this roster, but just
4:28
finding any little things that I can do
4:29
to just showcase that. And, uh, just
4:31
listen to what he says in the meetings.
4:32
You know, every little thing is
4:34
important and just trying to implement
4:35
them fundamentals in my game just to
4:36
show him what I can do.
4:38
Just follow up real quick. Are they
4:39
moving me inside and outside? Like,
4:41
where you line up?
4:43
Yeah, in some ways, you know, I'm just
4:44
moving around anywhere I can. If they
4:46
tell me to go inside, I will. They tell
4:47
me to stay outside, I will. So really
4:49
just depends where they want me in uh
4:51
that situation.
4:54
Hey Sash
4:57
on SI. Um what has really stood out to
5:01
you the most about you? I know he's left
5:04
quarterback just trying to kind of uh
5:07
figure out a catch, but what has really
5:09
stood out for you most?
5:11
Um
5:14
well I'll speak off off the field. You
5:15
know we've gotten a little closer. you
5:17
know, just hanging out with him, seeing
5:18
the way he thinks, you know, on and off
5:20
the field. You know, it's not just about
5:22
that. So, just getting that connection
5:23
and just learning what he uh sees on the
5:25
field, things like that. Uh seeing how
5:28
he reads little different things, like I
5:29
said, coverages wise, and just trying to
5:31
figure out any little things that I can
5:33
to make sure like he's most comfortable
5:34
and find a way that uh if he needs me in
5:36
a specific space, I can get that for
5:38
him.
5:39
No worries about 24/7. Going into the
5:41
offseason, what do you think were some
5:43
of the things that you wanted to improve
5:44
upon? Did you have goals set for
5:45
yourself? How do you think up to this
5:47
point you fared throughout those?
5:49
Um, main thing I really wanted to focus
5:50
on was just uh getting more explosive
5:52
and faster and getting stronger and uh
5:54
working with coach Moses, our strength
5:56
and condition coach. I feel like I have
5:57
uh done that in a big way just in these
6:00
little few months that he has been here.
6:02
You know, I've been eating better,
6:03
things like that. So, I feel like I have
6:05
been getting better than that. On the
6:07
field wise, I'll say route running. Just
6:08
trying to get those little uh things,
6:10
not showcase.
6:13
And I feel like I have done a little bit
6:15
better with that.
6:15
How would you describe these workouts?
6:17
I mean, uh they're definitely difficult
6:19
for sure. You I mean, you got to love
6:21
it, but just know in the back of my
6:23
mind, he's doing it for the better of
6:24
the team and for me. So, just got to get
6:26
through it uh regardless what it is.
6:29
We're going to go to Brendon. Yeah, it's
6:30
great marks from there's obviously been
6:32
a lot of excited enthusiasm about the
6:34
program ever since back in December. Now
6:37
students are back. Is it different at
6:38
all or does it sort of feel like around
6:40
campus? How you trying to handle the
6:42
buzz around the program?
6:43
Um on campus I'll say it's pretty
6:45
regular right now. Everybody's still
6:47
trying to figure out school. But I know
6:49
once we get into season, you know, the
6:50
games are going to be packed. A lot of
6:52
people there probably be a lot more
6:53
noise about it. But I really try to stay
6:55
off social media. Don't really worry
6:56
about too much about that and just focus
6:58
on the main thing which is our team and
6:59
getting better each and every day.
7:02
Rob Baxley, Fable Observer. Alex, you
7:05
know, whether you guys are on full pads
7:06
or just shoulder pads, the DBs and wide
7:08
receivers get to battle a little bit
7:10
more than the linemen. How would you
7:12
describe the physicality and and contact
7:15
y'all had so far in those matchups?
7:17
I mean, uh, going against those guys
7:20
every day, you know, you have to get
7:21
better or you're just not going to get
7:23
the ball. So just uh figuring out little
7:25
things that they do technique-wise, you
7:27
know, if they're going to jam, press,
7:28
off, they switch up a little uh a lot of
7:30
things and know at first we did have to
7:33
get used to that physicality part and
7:34
coach McGee pushed that on us and I feel
7:36
like now we've done a lot better and we
7:38
can play through that contact and being
7:40
with Moses, we got a lot stronger. So I
7:42
feel like we've gotten used to and every
7:44
day it's a battle. So you know, you have
7:45
to come practice with the right mindset.
7:48
Shelby,
7:49
sorry.
7:52
I'm curious. your team spoken about um
7:55
particular
7:57
buildach.
8:06
Um it's really minor things that he says
8:09
that's wow for me like the way he goes
8:11
about things and just thinks about film
8:13
is like I would never even have thought
8:14
about that and I just try to listen to
8:17
any little thing that he says. I write
8:18
down notes and I'm just like wow like
8:20
how can I add this to my game? how can I
8:22
uh spread this on to my teammates, see
8:24
how they can understand. So, really,
8:25
it's just little things, but every day
8:26
it's something different. I'm like,
8:27
"Okay, like I got to lock in in this
8:29
meeting and really listen."
8:31
I made um maybe a good session or
8:35
practicing play.
8:38
Uh really, it's just for me blocking
8:41
wise, you know, if you know the running
8:42
back's coming this way or not, just stay
8:44
on that block a little longer, you know,
8:45
uphill shoulder uh so you know he's
8:48
coming around you and the DB just can't
8:49
get uh backwise. So just little things
8:52
like that in each and every aspect.
8:55
Michael,
8:57
Alex, as someone who was here last
9:00
season with Max Johnson,
9:03
saw him go through that injury, his his
9:05
rehab, how cool is it to see him back
9:07
out there practicing fully with you
9:09
guys? And to your eyes, does he look
9:12
like he could go out there and play STC
9:15
week one? I mean, it's just amazing and
9:17
really inspiration to me just seeing the
9:20
way he's battled every day. Uh, coming
9:22
back from that injury, you know, I see
9:23
him every day in the facility. Never has
9:25
uh he's never negative in no type of
9:27
way. And just seeing the way he's worked
9:29
back from that just gives me a
9:30
motivation like, wow, why can't I go
9:31
through a little bit of soreness, stuff
9:33
like that. So, and I definitely feel
9:35
like he's uh he's ready to uh showcase
9:37
what we can do against CCU uh in any way
9:39
possible.
9:41
Last one for
9:45
No doubt here was one of the things that
9:47
you did with the program. This is the
9:48
33rd NFL team. Uh have how have you seen
9:52
that implemented over the last nine
9:54
months? Is there things that have been
9:56
you know whether it's one practice field
9:58
where you are running through drills or
10:00
just nutrition strength training? Is
10:01
there specific things that have been
10:03
more in your professional uh way of
10:07
doing things?
10:08
Uh really food and well he brought in
10:12
Moses of course which he was with him
10:14
with the Patriots. So, we're doing
10:16
things that they've done. We know taught
10:17
the drag media is like, "Yeah, same
10:18
thing you guys are doing." We're
10:19
basically doing the same thing with a
10:20
little bit of tweaks, but uh just just
10:24
little things like that. Uh food is
10:26
definitely big for me. I feel like I've
10:27
gotten way stronger just off of that.
10:29
Just eating better of making sure my
10:31
nutrition is right. And uh on the
10:33
fieldwise, you know, it's a lot of
10:34
different things, concepts that he shows
10:36
that could be shown in the NFL uh
10:38
compared to college and how we could
10:40
like add that to our game and stuff like
10:41
that. So, I feel like we could be NFL uh
10:45
33.
10:46
Is there specific things in your diet
10:48
you changed because of death?
10:50
I was eating a lot of fried food. I'm
10:52
not going to lie. I love fried food. But
10:55
yeah, it's really good, but uh I know uh
10:58
to get to my best self, I had to cut a
10:59
lot of that out. So, just uh started
11:01
eating more greens, more fruits, and uh
11:03
better meats for my body.
11:06
Perfect. Good stuff. Thanks so much,
11:07
guys.
11:08
So, thank you guys.
11:11
before blocking watches. Why don't you
11:14
describe yourself to us? What kind of
11:15
player you are?
11:18
Yeah, first off, I know I want to be a
11:20
leader. Uh I want to hit the field uh
11:22
with a just last play mentality every
11:24
play like it's your last. Uh play hard,
11:26
play fast, play physical, be be a coach
11:29
on the field, somebody that uh you can
11:31
depend on when when the game's on the
11:32
line.
11:33
Paul, I talked to someone that covered
11:34
your voice. You said he said that you
11:36
play angry but under control. What is
11:38
over?
11:40
Uh, I guess just knowing what you got to
11:42
do, get in there with with just a
11:44
mindset that you're going to make every
11:46
single play. Uh, I I want to make every
11:48
play on the field. Uh, if it comes my
11:50
way or not, you know, I want to be there
11:51
for my team with relentless pursuit uh
11:54
any way I can. So, just being dominant
11:57
in that sense, I just want to do
11:58
everything for my team.
12:00
Jeremia.
12:01
Yeah, Jeremina.
12:03
Andrew, for you when you were, you know,
12:05
in in the transfer portal, what were
12:07
some of the main things you're looking
12:08
for? And then when you looked at North
12:10
Carolina, I guess what were some of the
12:12
main things that they had that just kind
12:14
of worked for you and how did you kind
12:15
of identify the
12:17
Yeah, so I mean here obviously just
12:19
championship pedigree with a coach like
12:21
Bellich, somebody who who was going to
12:23
develop you, focus on just the small
12:25
things that are going to just make a big
12:27
big uh deal when when the time comes. So
12:29
honestly, just trying to boost my draft
12:31
stock as much as I can. uh try and try
12:33
try and come to a winning culture that
12:35
that that cares about football that
12:37
wants to win and uh everything that I
12:39
talked about with coach Bellich, you
12:41
know, some of the guys on the team and
12:42
and the coordinators, it just aligned
12:45
with all my goals. So, it's really where
12:47
I wanted to be
12:48
the day
12:50
and go about his recruitment with uh
12:54
with
12:56
expect Carolina. It's actually Bel.
13:02
What was your sort of experience like
13:03
that first line of communication and how
13:05
did you end up kind of hit the solo on
13:07
coming here?
13:08
Yeah. So, uh I kind of I kind of had a
13:11
good feeling. I wanted to be a part of
13:13
this, you know, just talking to Bichc
13:15
was kind of like the cherry on top. You
13:16
know, he he made everything uh seem seem
13:19
smooth. You know, the transition was
13:21
very smooth. And and our first meeting,
13:23
you know, we met first to face. First
13:24
time I talked to him was in person. It
13:25
was a great conversation. We talked for
13:27
a long time. Uh, I feel like we could
13:28
have talked a little bit longer it
13:30
seemed like, but uh, he had a meeting to
13:32
get to. Um, but honestly, it was with my
13:34
family. You know, he made us all feel
13:35
welcome, made us all feel at home. Uh,
13:37
he was a lot more genuine, a lot more
13:39
authentic than I feel people give him
13:41
credit for. You know, he he was very
13:43
easy to talk to, and, uh, he just he he
13:45
made it simple, you know, the reasons
13:46
why we're here, what we want to do, what
13:48
they want to do with me, and, uh, it
13:50
just made everything smooth.
13:53
Hey, Andrew, right on target 24/7. You
13:56
played in some huge games last year, of
13:57
course, in the college football playoff,
13:59
the Mountain West championship, but also
14:01
one sack, one force fumble against
14:02
Oregon early in the season, playing
14:04
against that high tier competition. How
14:06
do you What are some key takeaways you
14:08
took from those games? How do you plan
14:09
to bring that here?
14:11
Yeah, those are the games you live for.
14:13
You know what I'm saying? Just playing
14:14
against this very best competition. Uh
14:16
that's something I always strive for.
14:18
You know, just as a kid and growing up,
14:19
even through high school, I always
14:20
wanted to play uh with or against the
14:22
best. So, uh, those games come up and,
14:24
you know, there circle on the calendar
14:26
for sure. And, you know, that you got to
14:28
do everything in your power to play your
14:29
best, you know, cuz the team is
14:31
dependent on you. And I always go into
14:33
every game like it's on me, like it's on
14:35
me mindset. And I feel like if all 100
14:37
guys on the team is is going into the
14:39
game, like it's on me to win this game,
14:42
uh, you'll play well and things will
14:44
happen for you.
14:46
Tom actually in South Carolina
14:49
defensive line's been rebuilt. The
14:51
linebacking room's been rebuilt.
14:53
Secondary is pretty similar than it was
14:55
last year. What can you tell us about
14:57
the guys in front of you there on that
14:59
defensive line? Cuz they're all fresh
15:01
faces for
15:02
uh what I'll say is, you know, they're
15:04
big, they're hungry, they come in to
15:06
work every single day. Uh that they're
15:08
they're we're willing to learn and and
15:10
they're ready to just get after it. I
15:12
feel like all of us coming from
15:13
different places, it would be easy to uh
15:15
see a lot of individuals, but I feel
15:16
like we did a great job at like mending
15:18
together as a team on and off the field,
15:20
you know, getting to know each other and
15:21
just playing fast and physical. Uh
15:23
that's something we wanted to implement,
15:25
you know, on a heavy scale every single
15:27
day, every single practice is being a
15:28
lot like the most physical team on the
15:30
field every time we take it and and
15:32
knowing where you're going and and
15:33
helping each other out. You know, if
15:34
they're they're in a spot, I got to make
15:36
them right. If if I go somewhere, they
15:37
got to make me right. So, it's just
15:39
playing in one unit. And I feel like
15:40
that's what uh they're coming in here to
15:42
do.
15:43
We know talked about 24/7. What was it
15:46
like for you in transfer portal? I know
15:48
people talk about we have crazy stories
15:50
of like I was got eight calls in the
15:52
first minute. What was it like for you
15:54
and how were you able throughout that
15:55
process to sort of stay levelheaded and
15:57
make sure you're making the right
15:58
decision.
15:58
Uh just focusing on mainly what my true
16:01
goals were uh for for not only as a
16:04
football player but just as a person. uh
16:06
going somewhere where the program, you
16:08
know, just cared, you know, they cared
16:10
about winning. They cared about uh doing
16:12
the right things on and off the field.
16:13
They cared about just developing me as a
16:15
player. Uh knowing I only had one year
16:17
left. A lot of schools understood that.
16:19
So, I needed to come in immediately and
16:21
just learn a new system and and be
16:23
developed uh from where I was. And I
16:25
just wanted to be ready for uh the
16:27
league when when the league comes
16:28
calling. And I felt like uh coach Bichc,
16:30
you know, there's nobody else better to
16:31
go to for that. So,
16:35
um Ryan with the start
16:39
that talk a little bit about how you
16:40
guys grew up close and grew up playing
16:44
football. Talk about how that
16:46
relationship has been and kind of how
16:48
it's been kind of trans.
16:51
Yeah. So, I mean me and him go way back,
16:53
you know, like we lived about like 5
16:55
minutes away from each other back in
16:57
California. And even through co and
16:59
stuff, like we'd be up um 6:00 a.m. like
17:03
most days just going to get work
17:04
together. uh going to hit the field
17:06
after, staying till it's dark, like just
17:08
just really finding things to do
17:09
honestly on and off the field. Uh we got
17:12
really close then and then through
17:13
college we ended up playing each other
17:15
when he was at Washington and I was at
17:17
Boise and it was kind of a full circle
17:18
moment there and then coming all the way
17:20
back to here. We were both in the
17:21
transfer portal and uh it just made it
17:23
more more just uh it just had a better
17:26
understanding of kind of what we wanted
17:28
what we wanted to go do and how how we
17:29
wanted the season to turn out for both
17:31
of us. And I trust him. He He trusts me
17:33
and he he made a very good pitch to me
17:36
when I was in the transport about why I
17:37
should come here and what we could do.
17:39
And I'm just excited to get to work with
17:41
him because that's that's my best
17:42
friend. So
17:44
maker and I'm also curious another
17:46
relationship for the house. I know you
17:48
guys are in the same high school and how
17:49
much you guys overlap there, but when
17:51
you come in such a new room position,
17:54
how is it created chemistry and how you
17:57
know you guys got that along? Yeah, it
18:00
definitely makes it easier when you know
18:01
a guy kind of like came up how you came
18:03
up a bit and uh gone through the same
18:05
kind of cycle you have cuz he was a
18:07
freshman when I was a senior at Bosow.
18:09
So, I I kind of knew he was a young guy
18:12
who who had a bright future and seeing
18:14
it like play out for him is special
18:16
because I literally saw him like kid
18:18
growing up be being uh becoming a man.
18:20
So, uh and he saw me as well, you know,
18:22
looking looking at me as a senior and
18:23
then getting me here. I feel like he's
18:25
helping me out a lot. like he he was
18:26
already familiar with a lot of uh stuff
18:28
that Steve brought in and a lot of stuff
18:30
that uh kind of this Carolina brought
18:32
brought in with the first few months he
18:34
was here. So, he's been guiding me the
18:36
way. Uh I I would expect a vet to do.
18:38
And it's kind of funny just the age
18:40
difference, how how much more mature he
18:42
is, I would say. But uh uh yeah, you
18:44
know, he's a good dude, good player,
18:46
even better person. So,
18:48
time for one or two more.
18:50
Yeah. Uh so, Andrew, I know you went to
18:53
St. on Bosa and you also went to Boyise
18:57
State which is a program even ultimate
18:59
nature there's a lot of expectation this
19:01
that place how those two schools
19:03
prepared you for the snowman when
19:05
there's a lot of hype surrounding
19:06
Chapville and you know village
19:09
yeah uh in high school I would say
19:11
winning is was the standard and uh
19:14
coming out I wanted to go to a program
19:15
where that was the same thing and where
19:17
people cared that was my biggest thing
19:18
care factor being high and winning being
19:21
just what we're supposed to do so uh
19:23
going to a school like Boise State, you
19:24
know, winning was something they did and
19:26
they did consistently. And uh just
19:27
growing you as a great football player
19:29
and as a man and I feel like that was
19:31
that was something that I was looking
19:33
into deeply. Uh making sure that there
19:35
was a program who that would that would
19:37
take me from ground up and try and try
19:38
and build me uh to be a better player
19:40
than who I was the day before. So that's
19:42
pretty much why why I did that.
19:44
And I have a followup question. Uh you
19:46
know Jamie Collins is your business
19:48
coach. How has he helped Gene throw your
19:51
film because he was a pro bowler in the
19:52
NFL?
19:53
Yeah. I mean, learning from somebody
19:54
like that every single day who who was
19:56
in it with uh with with guys like you
19:58
are, you know, playing football at a
20:00
very high, the highest level. Uh he he
20:02
he's went through some of the workouts
20:04
even that Mo put him through or some of
20:05
the practice and and the scheme. So,
20:07
it's easy to learn from somebody that's
20:09
done it and that understands it and sees
20:10
the game from the the entire lens, you
20:12
know? So, I feel like he he comes in
20:15
every day with the mentality of work and
20:17
uh it just makes you want to go harder
20:18
because you just want to you know what
20:20
you want to amount to. If you make a
20:21
great play, I'm sure like he he's
20:22
probably made a play like that, too. So,
20:24
it doesn't let you get too much in your
20:25
head about what you do good and bad.
20:27
It's just about getting better.
20:29
Hey, my name is Ben Bowling from the
20:31
Boston Globe. Came down here to write
20:33
about your coach. It's a cop out back in
20:35
New England. I know you said it's a
20:36
pretty down to earth guy, but just
20:38
through this whole process, like has
20:40
there been like a pinching moment? Like,
20:41
can you believe that Phil Bichc, the guy
20:43
coached Tom Brady, like is here at UNCC
20:45
as your coaching?
20:46
Honestly, it's just every meeting, every
20:48
meeting I walk into, every every new
20:50
day, I just sit there and I understand
20:52
like that I'm in front of greatness. You
20:54
know what I'm saying? Like, and I'm I'm
20:55
going somewhere uh where where he's he's
20:58
leading our team and our troops and and
20:59
we're following him. So, uh pinch me
21:02
moment I would say probably was when I
21:03
first met him, but uh it's becoming more
21:06
normal because he just is such a good
21:08
person. You know, he talks to us, he
21:09
keeps it real. Uh we have good
21:11
conversations that you wouldn't really
21:13
expect to get out of a a coach of his
21:15
magnitude, but like he he he really um
21:18
has us understand the fundamentals of
21:19
the game and just keeps it simple for
21:21
us. And that that allows us to play
21:22
fast, play free, and then just trust
21:24
what he's putting out in front of us.
21:26
Perfect. Good stuff, Andrew.
