 relationship with your new OC side downing. How is that developing and what are some of the things you like about what he brings to the table as far as maybe continuity or anything like that? I mean well I've been with Todd for sure in 2019 and kind of the same thing. He just took over just like Art did. He's been off into a coordinator before so you know we are ready to see what we can all do together and you know they're trying to put it all together. We've got the week. I haven't been here in the whole time and we've got them working hard and building and going to chemistry and you know pushing each other and then just competing and you know getting better on both sides of the ball and that's all you know we want us to do. Just compete every day. Come in and pay attention. Pay attention to the little things, the details, fundamentals. Give all your effort and finish you know you're in practice so that's all we've been focusing on you know trying to do the best we can. Kayla. Hey Derek. Obviously we see all of your off-season workout videos. Enjoy those. What is kind of the goal for you in the off-season when you're doing these individual workouts? Do you take any time off? Basically just doing something like I've been doing each and every off-season. Working out, staying in shape, getting ready for the season, ready for a training camp so my body feels good. You know we come back and get to work. We've been doing two-a-days and all those different types of things and working out with Melvin. You know he can get me right. It's different ideas all the workouts he comes up with is making sure my body is in shape and you know running hills and doing stuff on the field and just working on everything possible that I can get better at. So I'm ready when I come back. Do you add anything you know year to year new things to incorporate in your workouts or you just kind of keep the same same routine year to year? It's really on Melvin. You know what he sees throughout the season. What he thinks I need to work on or you know get better at as far as my body and things that he feels like he helped me with and you know I listen to him and then try working on those things and you know incorporate it to you know football and on the field and you know all those type of things just so I can get better and be better whenever I come back. Teresa and Derek just to follow up on that when when you're working is it do you find do you work on conditioning? Is it a specific body part? Is it you know what is it that you've been in the league for a while now? What is it that you're trying to maintain at this point? I just work on everything. I work on everything each and every year. You know I feel like I always get better at everything and that's what I try to work on each and every day. I'm away during the offseason. That's all I try to focus on trying to get rid of everything. Box? Yeah Derek I know Julio made it down to Dallas for one of those training sessions. How hard was the recruiting pitch to him then? Not really recruiting. No just trying to get some work in. He was in town and he wanted to get some work in and he put up on us and we ran and did a workout and you know just this talk catching up and just talking about what was going on and now he's here so you know I'm glad to have him as a teammate and I'm excited to get to work with him. Lenin? Hey Derek speaking of Julio it was certainly there's no secret on social media that you were a big fan of him eventually getting here. What made you sort of take to the social media to kind of campaign for the trade that brought him here and did you ever hear any feedback about that from Julio or you know from the John Robinson or the coaches anything like that? No I was just saying tighten up and you know that would be cool if you know we were to get him here and you know be able to be able to play with him. Everybody knows he started playing years when he ran to the table so I just tried to do my best to pitch him to get here and obviously it kind of worked. That's what I was going to ask do you feel like I mean I know it was a trade that brought him here but do you feel like you you did play a small part maybe in you know helping it helping it happen? Well I had a bigger role but I'm finishing it a little bit I'll try to at least. Thank you. A couple more for Derek. Terry? Terry why don't you type your question and we can ask it for you and Taran if you want to ask in the meantime. Terry coming in from large. My question is in regards to what Julio brings to the table and just how it opens things up for for you as at the back can you just kind of get into what that does to add it into the picture? Well I mean he's a dynamic player. One of not the best receivers in this league so you know he's definitely respected by defenses and you know I mean I don't want to get into all the you know boxes and you know there's different types of scenarios I think we just try to pull it all together while we're here and just try to work and you know try to make each other better and you know each and every day you know likes to work hard I like to work hard and that's all you know we're trying to bring to the table you know as far as being teammates and you know the whole team is making each other better I really get into you know what what this be like and that would be like this trying to put it all together come here work every day get better be a great teammate and see what you can do. Gentry? Yeah Derek I know yours and Julio's pass at Alabama didn't cross quite at the same time but did you get to know him much at all through that and and because of kind of a shared background do you have a little bit better idea what what to expect what you guys are getting out of Julio given you know given the fact you guys both play to the same place? Um yeah when I was up I used to come back all the time and you know got to know him you know through that time and you know actually when I was coming out of the draft and you know I got to train with him when he came back to Alabama as well and then this you know seeing him and hanging out with him all my time throughout the league and you know you know his body of work and how he plays and what type of 30 is and you know we both come back coming from Bama we both know each other's mindset and you know what we want to do and you know it's just a great guy to have around you know he was a humble guy loving the work hard and a great teammate and be a great asset you know for this team and you know for everybody to learn from one of the greats that play this game. All right I got Terry's here. What are the new challenges for you and the offense after such an outstanding year last year? Set again? What's the challenges for you and the offense after such an outstanding year last year? Um I don't think we um looking at what's the new challenge I think it's just us you know just trying to be better um at everything that we do as far as on offense um individually collectively and just just growing you know and helping each other grow and um you know just competing um hold each other accountable and you know just doing the things we need to do as a team um all the way and then we get back here just try to pull it all together that's just working hard hard work it's always hard work because the ground and I think we all know that and I think you know it takes you know takes time and just you know try to push each other um day by day to be the best we can be once you're done. Last two questions Jim Wyatt. I guess they got two quick ones one did you did you literally oh know that you wore number two I guess during your rookie year uh at the start? Uh no I didn't I didn't know what number he was going to shoot I didn't know what was happening with that but um you know it fit some and you know we already found his number. And as far as Kari uh how was your relationship with him kind of on and off the field evolved and how much credit do you give him so for some of the success you have? Um yeah uh you know um you know we talk um time to time during the off season no just checking in one another see how each other's doing um and um you know Kari does all the dirty work and you know you know he's a big part of my success definitely appreciate him through all the years with the success I had and um I'm glad we still have him and you know another season with him and he's doing a great job for us. Last question Paul. Hey Derek uh Julio's got a great reputation for downfield blocking I'm wondering if you feel like with he and Josh you guys will be as good uh with that downfield or maybe better than ever? Um I can't say and you know until that time comes but you know um you know uh I was watching those guys how they play and I know they you know take pride in blocking uh and I'm glad to have them um when I squad those guys I want to block and get there get in there and um you know give me space definitely appreciate that so you know whenever we get back to camp and be able to practice and do that chemistry um can't wait when we find to be out there grinding and putting the work in.
