 Yeah, it's gonna be different, you know, I feel like I was in a very much still like a learning role the last couple years And gonna embrace this new opportunity, but it also helps a lot having Having Robert in there and having him and you know He's got so much experience that even though I've been here the longest maybe me and Cody Cody probably got me by a couple years But he's just got so much experience that he's still got a lot to bring to the table So we action when you found out AJ was traded and how much of an opportunity does that present for you? Yeah, I mean I was shocked. I feel like most of us were But yeah, the first thing was like wow like really wasn't expecting it I'm happy, you know, he's getting paid, you know, the money money he needs and that he deserves and Then you know the next thing is like all right Well, you know that that leaves a big opportunity for me and just kind of like raises that Extra level of attention to detail going to this offseason Yeah, I haven't talked to him yet I sent him a text I figured his phone's pretty pretty crazy right now So I try to reach out again later Last Yeah, just I mean being more complete receiver Making those big-time plays that we need, you know I can look back and think of a couple plays that come to mind where you know I make that play in the game has a totally different outcome First one comes mine is just like the Steelers game like catch that go ball and run under it And don't trip and fall and go score and that's a whole different ball game And so just having that mentality of understanding what's needed And what I want to bring to the table this year Yeah Yeah, it's been great talking with him, you know, obviously he's a great leader already just in our receiver room You know and now that AJ is gone like he understands the role that he has and been really good willing to You know give us advice, you know also accept it who like us asking questions and just been a great, you know leader and teacher so far I mean, yeah, we can't not think that I mean if For in the NFL like you got to come in every year think you're a Super Bowl contender regardless of who you got You just got to prepare and expect to do that I feel like that's shorting yourself shorting the league shorting the fans if you don't really strive to do that Yeah, I mean, I like I said before just you know being consistent Just being more explosive I feel like you know working on getting yards after catch making contested catches getting separation just being a more complete receiver overall and Most importantly just be gaining continue to gain that trust Ryan going into this season After the catch like what are the things you can do to become more explosive as you say? I mean part of it's in the weight room You know just being more explosive working on explosive drills and then I feel like just a mentality of You know after you catch a ball finished to the end zone or you know make a make act like you're making someone miss I mean you can't get a full, you know live rep against someone But you can do as much as you can so that when those live reps reps come You've already kind of trained your mind train your body how to do that It's in the football that you could get to because I know it's been a you know from the first year a bit of a struggle Last year it went well Do you feel there's another level which could help you accelerate through the catch and get the yards after the catch? Yeah, definitely Yeah, like we've talked about before like that first year was a struggle big time And I feel like as the year went on last year Just built more and more trust and that just made me feel more and more confident when the ball is thrown my way So it's gonna continue to roll with that and just carry that momentum The receivers the team to do anything different in the in the time between the end of playoffs and now that might Have a bearing on soft tissue injuries a change in approach Not specifically I mean Frank's you know the guys that have been here, you know I can speak for that like just you know doing everything we can to build strong hamstrings and You know just take that extra time You know a way, you know when we're not here to take care of that whether it's getting the cold tub hot tub Massage everybody's got a different system to take take care of their body and just figuring that out and being a professional And understanding what it takes for you to take care of your body Burge Cal Phillips from the new guys and I guess at this point in your career You are you somebody that will help those guys like maybe Robert Woods has helped you. Yeah, um, I mean I don't I really don't watch that much college football to be honest But I know they're good players and you know, they they wouldn't get drafted if they weren't So I'm just excited to bring you know more guys into our room But I mean regardless of if I'm been here for three years or it was my first year like last year I felt like I I tried to help Des and Ray see as much as I could because they would look to me for questions No, and I was just in their shoes the year before So yeah, I'm gonna be helpful to whoever comes and you know Just try to try to do it. I can to help the team win and prepare those guys to be out there on the field Yeah, I mean There was a bunch of little like small details and routes or you know Just understanding a coverage or demeanor of DB's Just little tips and tricks that you know, we can carry out onto the field onto game day or into practice first But and and just see how it works and he's I've seen you know His film and understand what he's done. So just seeing someone that walks the walk basically Your role is kind of gradually increased over the past couple of years And it's almost kind of like a pleasant surprise it seemed like to add into one of you guys were doing Do you feel like now that it's kind of on you? You don't get to grow anymore You just kind of have to produce in every way Yeah somewhat and I feel like I've been in this position before it's kind of funny like this kind of same Cycle has happened before and in high school where you know, I didn't really do much from a freshman year We had a dog at receiver my sophomore year and then he transferred and it was like all right Like you got to step up in college. It was a similar thing didn't really play much freshman year Sophomore year we had a dude he got hurt and now to step up and so I've been in that situation before And so I just kind of embrace it now understanding that I've done it before and gives me that extra confidence Early playoff exit if at all a topic of conversation around here still these days guys still mad about it Yeah, I mean hundred percent. I don't think there's anybody in here that isn't mad about it Yeah, it's it's still on top of mine As you feel that Ryan is a good leader I mean the biggest thing is just He's very clear and concise with his communication. So we know exactly what he wants from us Receivers and then he also like I said before like he walks the walk. He's not like he's pushing conditioning He's always up there running with us and more than anything like just I see him do exactly what he's holding us to do And so he's not slacking in the ways that he's asking us to be accountable That makes sense pushing conditioning the last two weeks What was that? It wasn't pushing conditioning the last two weeks, was it? I mean, I don't know what he was doing But I'm sure he was working because he showed up to work and he's been in condition so far. So
