more and being more confident and um it helps overall with you know performance and you know so I feel good as far as a confidence level a comfort level how different is it for you from year one to year two uh it's way different you know it feels way better since like you could prepare different like you know last year I didn't know what to expect coming in so you until the first game but this year you know I know it's I know it's coming so knowing what to expect what do you anticipate from the crowds this week and especially playing a team that you guys beat in the playoffs last year last year was pretty crazy that game so pretty sure it's going to be the same thing probably more so I'm excited we got a couple rookies on that that dline how do you prepare for them you know not a lot of tape on them from from the NFL uh probably preseason uh coaches they'll go over like what they do well like like or what they didn't do well based off college so were you were you a better football player going into week one that maybe you were talking to us this time kind of getting ready for that first game not knowing what to where would you put your finger on I'm definitely a better football in this this just I think just understanding the offense overall just in a hole so um yeah pretty much that it really feels like this team I mean as much as there's hype in anticipation for the season it's kind of business as usual does it feel that way for you guys going into kind of a continuation of last year yeah I mean there nothing crazy we don't look at it like um we're not overhyping it we're just taking it one game at a time I mean we we know what we're going to do what we're capable of doing so how are you feeling healthwise oh I'm good yeah I'm good appreciate it when you when you miss time during Camp just as a young guy like is there any catch up you have to do now what do you you know feel like you you miss anything I mean when I first got back you know how to get back in football shape uh first day was rough I ain't going to lie but other than that it was good so where your second L for this offense you return a lot of the coure pieces obviously gmo's going to be a big part of that's going to stretch the field a little bit open maybe some things up and now your comfort level just overall where this offense could be how good this offense feel really good about it uh especially J like you said uh I can't wait to see him he's been you know lights out throughout the whole offseason and coming into uh practice today you know so I'm excited to see him how much can sorry how much can you sense this offense growing with the growth of you in Sal pora and then if you want to throw J Mo in there too yeah I mean I'm going back to say it again uh understand the offense better you know uh you know me J and Sam you know cuz you know J that was his first year uh know really playing so all three of us you know um understanding the offense and just clicking on all cylinders I think it's GNA work out perfect so you say understanding the offense how does that allow what does that allow you to do maybe more better whatever when it comes to the football field probably just just think faster play without thinking so just reactionary yeah how can you guys surprise people based on what you did last year I mean it seems like nobody's you guys aren't going to sneak up on anybody but how can you guys surprise people I don't know I mean we scored a lot last year so I mean playing on scoring a lot again so uh hopefully that surprised me yeah I don't know but the defense be maybe that element yeah defense team as a whole yeah okay I thought talk about just offense but defense yeah they man they different I ain't going to lie it's hard playing against them every every day so I'm happy they get to hit somebody else so yeah you were you were working on your your receiver skills kind of earlier in Camp you feel like you got to see that through uh with with the injury and the time you missed uh I mean it definitely hurt you know missing you know the practices and weeks that I did so um hopefully uh got the game plan and you know the rest of the season it can get get more involved in it and stuff so how do you expect this back field to evolve from last year with you and uh collectively I guess you know getting things uh rolling early you know last year we started up like it was kind of we got it rolling late so getting out to a fast start and just consistently doing that every week if that happen what does that what does that mean statistically or you know for the success of the team or or anything I guess uh I mean we run I mean we uh rely heavily on the Run game so I think it revolves heavily through us and what we do consist on a consistent basis so it's being consistent every week and you know doing um just doing good every week uh following our landmarks you know what we're supposed to do I think uh after that everything will take care of itself so
