38
00:01:42,760 --> 00:01:44,719
three men, we was able to catch up with Shione

39
00:01:44,799 --> 00:01:48,840
Moa BYU running back RB two. Ronnie, how you feeling?

40
00:01:48,840 --> 00:01:51,000
Why don't you preview this interview for us?

41
00:01:51,319 --> 00:01:54,319
Speaker 4: Yeah, caught it with one more just to preface you

42
00:01:54,400 --> 00:01:57,159
guys a little bit. Forgot to ask it during any

43
00:01:57,159 --> 00:01:59,040
of you asked him right after Tony Cameral was like,

44
00:01:59,079 --> 00:02:01,159
oh dude, didn't you ask you you running with the ones,

45
00:02:01,200 --> 00:02:02,599
running with the twos. He's doing a little bit of

46
00:02:02,599 --> 00:02:06,000
both right now. Biggest thing, I don't want to spoil it.

47
00:02:06,040 --> 00:02:08,199
I'll let you let him explain of what it is is.

48
00:02:08,639 --> 00:02:12,639
He just wants to start and finish, you know, the

49
00:02:12,680 --> 00:02:13,560
best way possible.

50
00:02:13,560 --> 00:02:14,719
Speaker 5: And now we'll tease the interview.

51
00:02:14,919 --> 00:02:17,919
Speaker 4: He highlights obviously Devon Eckley talks about where Bert Bachmeier

52
00:02:18,400 --> 00:02:20,960
improved in just what he learned from the sideline. Look,

53
00:02:20,960 --> 00:02:23,840
when you're not playing, sometimes it's it's tough, and sometimes

54
00:02:23,879 --> 00:02:28,199
you you make a mistake. He talked about specifically, you know,

55
00:02:28,360 --> 00:02:30,639
coming back and maybe that shouldn't have been the right move.

56
00:02:30,680 --> 00:02:32,759
And that's difficult, right Ben, because you want to play

57
00:02:32,759 --> 00:02:35,039
at the for your boys, you want to play out

58
00:02:35,039 --> 00:02:38,120
there for yourself or your family, and sometimes when things

59
00:02:38,120 --> 00:02:40,599
are nagging, aren't going well, maybe you shouldn't. And he

60
00:02:40,639 --> 00:02:43,520
discusses all of that very humble young man. Is always

61
00:02:43,639 --> 00:02:45,680
a privilege to be able to interview who could be

62
00:02:46,159 --> 00:02:48,319
RB two. But he's definitely had taking reps out there.

63
00:02:49,439 --> 00:02:53,159
Speaker 2: Let's get into it. Running back b YU.

64
00:02:54,360 --> 00:02:59,360
Speaker 4: Running back running back. Just what does it feel like

65
00:02:59,400 --> 00:03:00,800
to be back in sport find me again?

66
00:03:00,879 --> 00:03:01,960
Speaker 3: It feels great, man, it was.

67
00:03:02,280 --> 00:03:05,439
Speaker 6: It was a tough five months, tough recovery process, but

68
00:03:05,639 --> 00:03:07,319
it feels good to be running back at the boys

69
00:03:07,319 --> 00:03:10,039
and just being able to feel like myself a little

70
00:03:10,080 --> 00:03:13,159
bit more. And I'm excited just for the rest until

71
00:03:13,280 --> 00:03:15,319
fall camp, the rest of the springball.

72
00:03:14,879 --> 00:03:16,319
Speaker 3: Just to be back to myself.

73
00:03:16,759 --> 00:03:17,360
Speaker 5: What if you.

74
00:03:17,280 --> 00:03:19,639
Speaker 4: Don't mind, what was the injury? Take us through that?

75
00:03:19,800 --> 00:03:21,879
Just how was all of that in the recovery process?

76
00:03:22,120 --> 00:03:22,360
Speaker 3: Yeah?

77
00:03:22,400 --> 00:03:25,199
Speaker 6: So I had a compartment syndrome in my quad, uh,

78
00:03:26,439 --> 00:03:28,400
and it was honestly tough. I never heard of it,

79
00:03:28,479 --> 00:03:31,039
and so a lot of people in the trainer.

80
00:03:30,879 --> 00:03:32,479
Speaker 3: Never heard of it. Well they have, but never really

81
00:03:32,479 --> 00:03:32,879
worked with it.

82
00:03:32,960 --> 00:03:35,199
Speaker 6: And so it's kind of a tough recovery process. But

83
00:03:35,960 --> 00:03:39,400
we're here now. My recovery team has been awesome. My wife,

84
00:03:39,400 --> 00:03:40,840
she's a nurse, so she's been taking care of me

85
00:03:40,840 --> 00:03:44,639
at home. So it's been a tough journey, but definitely something.

86
00:03:44,400 --> 00:03:46,120
Speaker 3: That I needed to go through to be here. I'm

87
00:03:46,120 --> 00:03:47,080
Matt and I'm excited.

88
00:03:47,520 --> 00:03:49,919
Speaker 4: What did you learn the most about yourself from the

89
00:03:49,960 --> 00:03:50,919
sidelines last season?

90
00:03:51,919 --> 00:03:55,039
Speaker 6: I learned to just be patient. You know, I was

91
00:03:55,080 --> 00:03:57,639
so eager to come back. I came back for the

92
00:03:57,639 --> 00:04:00,840
Big Toe Championship game. Wasn't the best idea. I kind

93
00:04:00,879 --> 00:04:04,759
of reinjured that again the first play, and so throughout

94
00:04:04,759 --> 00:04:06,120
the whole time, it was just I was just learning

95
00:04:06,360 --> 00:04:08,199
how to be patient, just wait for my time, just

96
00:04:08,240 --> 00:04:10,560
trusting God and just hope that he has the best

97
00:04:10,560 --> 00:04:12,919
plan for me. And so that's probably the best or

98
00:04:12,960 --> 00:04:14,879
the thing that I learned the most. While I was

99
00:04:14,879 --> 00:04:16,399
sitting on the sideline watching the boys play.

100
00:04:16,680 --> 00:04:19,040
Speaker 4: What was it like, you know, in the process of

101
00:04:19,040 --> 00:04:21,160
watching LG. Martin did obviously wanted to be out there

102
00:04:21,160 --> 00:04:23,759
and help. But a guy that rushes for a thousand

103
00:04:23,879 --> 00:04:24,839
yards and has a chance.

104
00:04:24,639 --> 00:04:25,759
Speaker 5: To break the all time mercer.

105
00:04:25,560 --> 00:04:28,360
Speaker 6: Record, Yeah, I was so excited when he when he

106
00:04:28,399 --> 00:04:30,360
took the rings of the offense last year, just putting

107
00:04:30,399 --> 00:04:33,360
putting everybody on his back and just running how he does.

108
00:04:33,439 --> 00:04:35,319
You know, it's nothing new, it's nothing that we don't

109
00:04:35,360 --> 00:04:37,920
know that he's capable of, and so it was exciting

110
00:04:38,120 --> 00:04:40,959
for him to showcase it, for everyone, to shove one

111
00:04:40,959 --> 00:04:42,680
that he's the best running back in the league. And

112
00:04:42,720 --> 00:04:45,079
so it was cool to see that and just for

113
00:04:45,160 --> 00:04:46,120
him to take the whole load on.

114
00:04:46,399 --> 00:04:48,120
Speaker 4: Take us to the emotions of the running back room

115
00:04:48,160 --> 00:04:50,800
coach Harvor when he was announced the Big twelve Offensive

116
00:04:50,800 --> 00:04:51,360
Player of the Year.

117
00:04:51,600 --> 00:04:54,920
Speaker 6: Oh Man, all of us were excited for him. He's

118
00:04:54,959 --> 00:04:57,600
a quiet guy. He didn't like to show emotion, but

119
00:04:57,639 --> 00:05:00,959
we knew that he was happy and he enjoyed the recognition.

120
00:05:01,319 --> 00:05:02,920
Speaker 3: But she deserves So what is.

121
00:05:02,879 --> 00:05:05,399
Speaker 4: It like been watching him grow from a freshman, you know,

122
00:05:05,839 --> 00:05:08,399
starting now to you know, coming back for a senior year.

123
00:05:08,639 --> 00:05:10,920
Speaker 5: He's grown into a leadership role Perkolani.

124
00:05:10,600 --> 00:05:11,560
Speaker 3: Yeah, no, for sure.

125
00:05:12,519 --> 00:05:15,199
Speaker 6: When I watched him his freshman year, I was great shirting,

126
00:05:15,680 --> 00:05:17,560
but it was cool to see him like he was

127
00:05:17,639 --> 00:05:19,959
running with like I think it was Brooks. I forgot

128
00:05:19,959 --> 00:05:23,000
the running backs in front of him. But he after

129
00:05:23,079 --> 00:05:24,879
year after year got better and better. And just to

130
00:05:24,920 --> 00:05:27,839
see him interact with the younger boys like Micah and Devon,

131
00:05:28,480 --> 00:05:30,959
it's cool to see the leadership role that he took

132
00:05:31,000 --> 00:05:34,160
on teaching these boys, even teaching Bear. I know Bear

133
00:05:34,240 --> 00:05:36,319
had a great season, a lot of it because his

134
00:05:36,360 --> 00:05:38,639
mentors like lj Or, like the older guys teaching him

135
00:05:38,639 --> 00:05:39,040
how to do that.

136
00:05:39,160 --> 00:05:42,160
Speaker 3: So it's been cool to see him growing to the

137
00:05:42,240 --> 00:05:43,160
player that he is now.

138
00:05:43,360 --> 00:05:45,720
Speaker 4: You mentioned Bear, how impressive was it for you to

139
00:05:45,759 --> 00:05:48,480
watch a true freshman come in midway through June, when

140
00:05:48,480 --> 00:05:51,319
the starting job in August and then Lee by YouTube

141
00:05:51,480 --> 00:05:53,560
you know, one of its best ones in program Mystery.

142
00:05:53,720 --> 00:05:56,120
Speaker 6: Yeah, it was a great feeling, so relieving for sure.

143
00:05:56,199 --> 00:05:58,680
Obviously everyone else we're kind of in the mix up

144
00:05:58,680 --> 00:06:01,079
in the off season, and then when Bert came in

145
00:06:01,120 --> 00:06:03,439
and learned their offense and took over. It was awesome

146
00:06:03,439 --> 00:06:06,560
to see him throughout the game just continue to progress

147
00:06:06,600 --> 00:06:08,319
and get better and better. And so I'm excited for

148
00:06:08,399 --> 00:06:09,480
him this upcoming season.

149
00:06:09,759 --> 00:06:11,800
Speaker 3: He's gonna take a huge step. I'm already knowing.

150
00:06:12,279 --> 00:06:16,000
Speaker 4: And yeah, what do you like about Enig, Watson, Tracy Bourget,

151
00:06:16,040 --> 00:06:17,319
the rest of the quarterback room?

152
00:06:17,439 --> 00:06:19,800
Speaker 6: Yeah, saying they all just uplift each other. I always

153
00:06:19,800 --> 00:06:22,240
see them like working out here by themselves or like

154
00:06:22,319 --> 00:06:24,959
together by themselves and just learning off of one another.

155
00:06:25,279 --> 00:06:28,759
Tracon learning from their Enig learning from those two, and

156
00:06:28,800 --> 00:06:31,560
even those two learning from Enich. And so it's cool

157
00:06:31,600 --> 00:06:33,519
to see them all interact with each other, connect with

158
00:06:33,519 --> 00:06:36,160
one another, and the way that connect with us boys too.

159
00:06:36,160 --> 00:06:37,639
Speaker 5: Let's transition more towards you.

160
00:06:38,759 --> 00:06:40,680
Speaker 4: What do you want to accomplish in this fifteen practice

161
00:06:40,680 --> 00:06:41,360
here at spring ball?

162
00:06:41,800 --> 00:06:43,199
Speaker 6: Man, I just want to get healthy, you know what

163
00:06:43,240 --> 00:06:45,279
I'm saying. I want to get back under my feet,

164
00:06:45,360 --> 00:06:47,680
just be able to move how I was starting to

165
00:06:47,720 --> 00:06:50,040
move and then obviously the injury happened. But I just

166
00:06:50,079 --> 00:06:52,319
want to be back to my one hundred percent self

167
00:06:52,360 --> 00:06:55,319
and we're getting there. It's basically almost there. So I'm

168
00:06:55,360 --> 00:06:56,560
excited to see how that feels.

169
00:06:56,600 --> 00:06:58,839
Speaker 5: Again, would you say you're between eighty ninety percent then.

170
00:06:58,839 --> 00:07:02,399
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, it was definitely just yeah, how does it

171
00:07:02,439 --> 00:07:04,399
feel with the strength and conditioning staff?

172
00:07:05,360 --> 00:07:06,959
Speaker 5: You know, they put you guys through the ringers.

173
00:07:06,959 --> 00:07:09,319
Speaker 4: They post these videos you guys have like these Olympic

174
00:07:09,399 --> 00:07:09,720
like list.

175
00:07:10,800 --> 00:07:11,680
Speaker 5: Is that in the off season.

176
00:07:11,959 --> 00:07:15,959
Speaker 6: It's awesome to just have that fun environment. Uh, not

177
00:07:16,000 --> 00:07:18,480
only is it fun, but it's also like we're all focused,

178
00:07:18,480 --> 00:07:21,480
We're all ready to attack every single workout that they

179
00:07:21,480 --> 00:07:24,959
have for us with a competitive mindset. So while we're

180
00:07:24,959 --> 00:07:26,839
having fun, we're still competing with one another trying to

181
00:07:26,839 --> 00:07:28,279
be better than the next guy.

182
00:07:28,360 --> 00:07:30,240
Speaker 3: And so it's it's just a cool environment to be

183
00:07:30,240 --> 00:07:30,560
a part of.

184
00:07:30,639 --> 00:07:33,959
Speaker 6: I'm so grateful for our weight and conditioning staff, and

185
00:07:34,000 --> 00:07:35,600
I think we have the best of the best, and

186
00:07:35,639 --> 00:07:36,600
so we're blessed.

187
00:07:36,680 --> 00:07:38,839
Speaker 4: It needs you to remind Kubernation, what skill set do

188
00:07:38,879 --> 00:07:40,079
you add to this running back room?

189
00:07:40,600 --> 00:07:41,600
Speaker 3: Man? They got everything.

190
00:07:41,600 --> 00:07:45,480
Speaker 6: I'm just I'm just you know, I feel like I'm

191
00:07:45,560 --> 00:07:47,160
a north and south runner.

192
00:07:47,199 --> 00:07:50,199
Speaker 3: I'm not agile like LJ and Devon and jo Best

193
00:07:50,279 --> 00:07:52,639
and all those guys. But if you need two or

194
00:07:52,639 --> 00:07:54,160
through your eys, I got you. You know what I'm saying.

195
00:07:54,160 --> 00:07:57,040
Speaker 6: But I'm obviously trying to work on my past games too,

196
00:07:57,879 --> 00:08:00,519
just catching out the backfield, just anyway that coach ay

197
00:08:00,560 --> 00:08:02,959
Rod needs me to hop out of the offense. I'm

198
00:08:03,040 --> 00:08:05,680
just there so hopefully I can adapt to whatever new

199
00:08:05,720 --> 00:08:06,199
things come.

200
00:08:06,399 --> 00:08:08,560
Speaker 4: So is that what the coach a Ron is, you know,

201
00:08:08,839 --> 00:08:11,360
communicated to you pass game, but out of that pass proach?

202
00:08:11,439 --> 00:08:14,800
Speaker 6: Yeah, yeah, most definitely being being a good blocker for him,

203
00:08:14,839 --> 00:08:18,120
being a good like I said, catcher for him. We all.

204
00:08:18,240 --> 00:08:19,759
Speaker 3: I think he saw a clip.

205
00:08:19,519 --> 00:08:20,000
Speaker 5: On the converse.

206
00:08:20,240 --> 00:08:22,360
Speaker 6: Absolutely what I'm saying, Like, I gotta protect the most

207
00:08:22,399 --> 00:08:23,120
valuable player.

208
00:08:23,160 --> 00:08:25,240
Speaker 3: So that's our job being the six lineman, and so

209
00:08:25,920 --> 00:08:26,279
he had to.

210
00:08:26,279 --> 00:08:28,680
Speaker 6: Take pride like that dude said, just take pride in

211
00:08:28,680 --> 00:08:31,759
it and just try your butt off to protect them

212
00:08:31,800 --> 00:08:32,480
the best way you can.

213
00:08:32,639 --> 00:08:33,799
Speaker 4: I don't know if I asked you. This is they're

214
00:08:33,799 --> 00:08:35,879
a running back. You model your game after someone you liked.

215
00:08:36,000 --> 00:08:41,399
Speaker 6: Now, I loved watching Adrian Peterson. My uncle followed. He

216
00:08:41,759 --> 00:08:44,120
was a fullback during that time. But I was watching

217
00:08:44,159 --> 00:08:46,639
my uncle and I was watching Adrian Peterson. He became

218
00:08:46,639 --> 00:08:48,759
my favorite running back, and so I try to model

219
00:08:48,840 --> 00:08:50,600
his his game for sure, as.

220
00:08:50,440 --> 00:08:52,759
Speaker 4: A native of Chicago and all about Adrian Peterson and

221
00:08:52,759 --> 00:08:54,600
the Viking. So you don't have to tell me about

222
00:08:54,600 --> 00:08:55,879
to hear what bo you?

223
00:08:55,960 --> 00:08:56,440
Speaker 5: Running back?

224
00:08:56,639 --> 00:08:58,399
Speaker 4: A couple of things and we'll, you know, let you

225
00:08:58,440 --> 00:09:01,879
get out of here. The transition, you know, a marriage.

226
00:09:01,960 --> 00:09:03,759
Last time I told you, you see you were having

227
00:09:03,759 --> 00:09:04,600
the wedding in July.

228
00:09:04,720 --> 00:09:05,360
Speaker 5: How's that been.

229
00:09:05,639 --> 00:09:06,440
Speaker 3: It's been awesome.

230
00:09:06,639 --> 00:09:10,080
Speaker 6: Like she she deals with a lot with me, you

231
00:09:10,120 --> 00:09:10,720
know what I'm saying.

232
00:09:10,960 --> 00:09:13,679
Speaker 3: Uh, And she she's such a warrior.

233
00:09:13,879 --> 00:09:16,960
Speaker 6: But when I got injured, I was always at home

234
00:09:17,000 --> 00:09:18,240
and she was taking care of me, and she was

235
00:09:18,240 --> 00:09:20,399
by my side the whole time. And so it's awesome

236
00:09:20,399 --> 00:09:22,039
to have that person right next to me every step

237
00:09:22,039 --> 00:09:24,600
of the way, and it's been great this past seven months,

238
00:09:24,639 --> 00:09:25,600
eight months, eight months.

239
00:09:25,799 --> 00:09:26,240
Speaker 3: Tomorrow.

240
00:09:26,240 --> 00:09:30,799
Speaker 6: Actually got to remember that.

241
00:09:29,039 --> 00:09:30,919
Speaker 3: If I forget tomorrow, I remember today.

242
00:09:31,480 --> 00:09:33,960
Speaker 4: Take us through after you know, the season was over.

243
00:09:34,200 --> 00:09:36,240
What you do any family activity over the break, you know,

244
00:09:36,320 --> 00:09:37,159
before you picked.

245
00:09:37,039 --> 00:09:37,480
Speaker 1: It back up.

246
00:09:37,759 --> 00:09:40,320
Speaker 6: Yeah, I just uh took the time, went to Hawaii,

247
00:09:40,360 --> 00:09:42,399
visits of my family with my in laws too, and

248
00:09:42,519 --> 00:09:45,360
just my parents are just over here in Utah, and

249
00:09:45,440 --> 00:09:47,519
so spent some time with him ullay time. It was

250
00:09:47,559 --> 00:09:50,120
just something that I needed to uplift my spirits. Obviously,

251
00:09:50,120 --> 00:09:53,360
I missed the whole season basically, and so being around

252
00:09:53,440 --> 00:09:55,639
my family and just all my loved ones definitely helped

253
00:09:55,679 --> 00:09:56,039
me a lot.

254
00:09:56,080 --> 00:09:57,799
Speaker 3: And so that's that's kind of what we did throughout

255
00:09:57,799 --> 00:09:59,080
the off seasons before coming back.

256
00:09:59,200 --> 00:10:00,720
Speaker 5: What do you like about new coming to von Ecker?

257
00:10:00,720 --> 00:10:01,559
What is he ad to the room?

258
00:10:01,720 --> 00:10:02,279
Speaker 3: I love him.

259
00:10:02,320 --> 00:10:05,679
Speaker 6: He's a hard worker, He's he's one of you tell

260
00:10:05,720 --> 00:10:08,080
him what to do, he'll process it and he'll go

261
00:10:08,120 --> 00:10:11,360
out there and execute it. And so I'm excited to

262
00:10:11,360 --> 00:10:13,759
see where he goes and how he progresses as a

263
00:10:13,799 --> 00:10:15,080
player and as a man too.

264
00:10:15,120 --> 00:10:16,759
Speaker 3: And so yeah, and.

265
00:10:16,720 --> 00:10:18,360
Speaker 4: Then last thing for me who do you want to

266
00:10:18,440 --> 00:10:21,399
highlight who's stood out to you since you guys have

267
00:10:21,480 --> 00:10:23,279
either started just a couple of days ago or.

268
00:10:23,159 --> 00:10:24,399
Speaker 5: When you were doing workouts.

269
00:10:24,440 --> 00:10:28,519
Speaker 6: Oh, I love this question obviously my running backs, but

270
00:10:29,240 --> 00:10:32,559
outside of my running back room, I like going with

271
00:10:32,600 --> 00:10:35,440
a little freshman. Last year, I said La Mason. This year,

272
00:10:35,480 --> 00:10:39,679
I like, I like Terrence Terrence. I think, yeah, yeah,

273
00:10:39,720 --> 00:10:42,639
he's smooth. The freshman class we have, honestly every position

274
00:10:42,679 --> 00:10:45,519
they're they're they're great athletes, and so I'm excited for

275
00:10:45,559 --> 00:10:45,919
all of them.

276
00:10:45,919 --> 00:10:48,120
Speaker 3: But Terrence. Yeah, Terrence caught my eye. Man, He's just

277
00:10:48,200 --> 00:10:48,759
move right there.

278
00:10:48,759 --> 00:10:50,480
Speaker 5: So I'm excited for he got some speed, for sure.

279
00:10:50,519 --> 00:10:51,320
Got a look out for him.

280
00:10:51,360 --> 00:10:53,440
Speaker 4: And who from the defensive side newcomer who'd like to

281
00:10:53,480 --> 00:10:55,840
highlight overturn newcomer?

282
00:10:55,879 --> 00:10:57,440
Speaker 3: I'm out for sure. K.

283
00:10:57,720 --> 00:10:59,960
Speaker 6: You know, it's it's cool going like we go again

284
00:11:00,120 --> 00:11:03,240
the linebackers ever practice and so just being able to

285
00:11:03,279 --> 00:11:05,480
see uh him on the other side of the ball.

286
00:11:05,639 --> 00:11:05,960
Speaker 3: It's cool.

287
00:11:06,000 --> 00:11:08,879
Speaker 6: We obviously lost Jack last year and all these other

288
00:11:08,879 --> 00:11:11,559
great linebackers, and it's so it's cool to have these

289
00:11:11,600 --> 00:11:14,279
newcomers replace that and fill in their spot. And he's

290
00:11:14,279 --> 00:11:16,759
definitely that kind of tear player, and so I'm excited

291
00:11:16,799 --> 00:11:18,320
to continue to go against him and get better with

292
00:11:18,360 --> 00:11:18,720
each other.

293
00:11:18,840 --> 00:11:20,879
Speaker 5: I will get you out of this Jack Cade.

294
00:11:21,799 --> 00:11:24,120
Speaker 4: What the similarities, the different system skill sets you see

295
00:11:24,120 --> 00:11:24,919
between those two guys.

296
00:11:25,840 --> 00:11:27,080
Speaker 3: Both of them were just ballers.

297
00:11:27,159 --> 00:11:27,360
Speaker 1: Man.

298
00:11:27,399 --> 00:11:30,639
Speaker 6: Obviously it's day two. I haven't seen too much of Caid.

299
00:11:31,360 --> 00:11:34,240
Obviously Jack has a lot. It's a big shoot a field,

300
00:11:34,240 --> 00:11:36,000
you know what I'm saying. But I think it's it's

301
00:11:36,440 --> 00:11:38,960
he's capable of doing it for sure. So I'm excited

302
00:11:39,080 --> 00:11:42,200
I can answer that maybe in a couple more weeks that.

303
00:11:42,480 --> 00:11:44,240
Speaker 5: Yeah, I think Jack is still faster too.

304
00:11:44,440 --> 00:11:48,120
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's okay, But I think I think b y

305
00:11:48,159 --> 00:11:49,759
you running back to you, I appreciate your brother.

306
00:11:52,720 --> 00:11:55,440
Speaker 2: A lot of good gems from that interview, Ronnie, since

307
00:11:55,440 --> 00:11:57,440
it was yours, I'll let you kind of take over

308
00:11:57,519 --> 00:11:59,919
some of your your your gems that you have teen

309
00:12:00,200 --> 00:12:03,159
from that fantastic conversation with Sione Moa.

310
00:12:03,440 --> 00:12:06,159
Speaker 4: Yeah, Unfortunately it had to be Adrian Peterson. It had

311
00:12:06,200 --> 00:12:08,200
to be his favorite running back, you know. Just it

312
00:12:08,240 --> 00:12:10,840
brought back night man. No, I'm just kidding. That's a joke. Look,

313
00:12:10,879 --> 00:12:13,320
this is one of the most humble people on the roster.

314
00:12:13,320 --> 00:12:14,759
It's always a pleasure and been the reason why I

315
00:12:14,759 --> 00:12:17,559
wanted to see onymore, just to tell everybody everyone's been

316
00:12:17,600 --> 00:12:19,159
talking about, you know, Santamoy healthy.

317
00:12:19,159 --> 00:12:21,159
Speaker 5: People wanted to know what was going on. We didn't

318
00:12:21,159 --> 00:12:21,799
know what it was.

319
00:12:21,879 --> 00:12:22,039
Speaker 3: Ben.

320
00:12:22,080 --> 00:12:24,879
Speaker 4: I wanted to hear from the horses and mouths of hey,

321
00:12:24,879 --> 00:12:25,879
what were you going through?

322
00:12:26,240 --> 00:12:29,279
Speaker 5: You know, you know went through you know, Parkinson syndrome

323
00:12:29,320 --> 00:12:30,879
and my quad. You never heard of that.

324
00:12:31,320 --> 00:12:34,399
Speaker 4: We did see him in the Big twelve Championship. He

325
00:12:34,480 --> 00:12:37,440
did come back. He said to himself, bad idea. I

326
00:12:37,480 --> 00:12:39,559
needed to learn patience because remember Ben, you know I

327
00:12:39,600 --> 00:12:41,360
was there for the pop Tars Bowl standing.

328
00:12:41,360 --> 00:12:42,519
Speaker 5: There wasn't regular clothes.

329
00:12:42,519 --> 00:12:44,600
Speaker 4: It said, interesting, you played it in the Big Toe

330
00:12:44,679 --> 00:12:46,960
Championship game, but you didn't play in the Poptarchs Bowl.

331
00:12:47,000 --> 00:12:49,360
Speaker 5: Now that explains it. Reaggravated it.

332
00:12:49,919 --> 00:12:52,159
Speaker 4: But you know eighty ninety percent, he said, oh yeah, yeah,

333
00:12:52,200 --> 00:12:55,559
like so he is pretty much back there been taking

334
00:12:55,559 --> 00:12:58,240
the reps. You've seen him training with the stranded conditioning staff.

335
00:12:58,279 --> 00:13:00,879
His goals wants to be complete healthy. I think that's

336
00:13:00,919 --> 00:13:03,720
a great mindset after you're out for pretty much all

337
00:13:03,759 --> 00:13:06,159
of the season, is to be healthy. This is a

338
00:13:06,200 --> 00:13:08,039
guy ben and when he's in the backfield with LJ,

339
00:13:08,080 --> 00:13:10,279
when they run that two running back set, it's it's

340
00:13:10,279 --> 00:13:12,960
truly dynamic and you know what LJ brings, but they

341
00:13:13,000 --> 00:13:15,559
never never really had that true RB two that made

342
00:13:15,639 --> 00:13:18,799
people respect them outside of l J. And when is

343
00:13:18,799 --> 00:13:20,879
healthy and when he's on the field, he is the

344
00:13:21,039 --> 00:13:21,399
RB two.

345
00:13:21,519 --> 00:13:21,759
Speaker 5: Nothing.

346
00:13:21,759 --> 00:13:24,039
Speaker 4: This is nothing against anybody else in that room or

347
00:13:24,080 --> 00:13:26,279
who I liked from what they did last season. It

348
00:13:26,360 --> 00:13:29,519
is so I want him to remind people what skill

349
00:13:29,559 --> 00:13:32,519
set does he bring. You know, North South runner. He's

350
00:13:32,559 --> 00:13:34,360
a he's a bulldog. He'll put his shoulder down, he

351
00:13:34,440 --> 00:13:36,759
runs angry. I told him, I still want you to

352
00:13:36,799 --> 00:13:39,600
run mad, you know, like the Isaiah Pachecos, the Warrens

353
00:13:39,600 --> 00:13:42,639
of the Steeler run, run straight, and run hard. And

354
00:13:42,759 --> 00:13:45,320
I think Will will be able to showcase that if

355
00:13:45,360 --> 00:13:48,000
he's able to stay healthy. This fall camp be highlighted. Obviously,

356
00:13:48,080 --> 00:13:49,840
Davon Eka, the name that's been raved about, but an

357
00:13:49,879 --> 00:13:52,879
interesting name, has said, who's stuck out to you? He said,

358
00:13:52,879 --> 00:13:55,399
obviously the running backs. Everybody's gonna pick their position group

359
00:13:55,480 --> 00:13:58,679
right then. But he said, Terrence Sarion, we've been discussing

360
00:13:58,759 --> 00:14:01,720
wild receivers. The entire show that's been the storyline just

361
00:14:01,720 --> 00:14:03,720
got off the line with Jay Drew. He said, this

362
00:14:03,879 --> 00:14:07,200
terarance there and the slot the speedster. Could he step

363
00:14:07,279 --> 00:14:09,879
up as a freshman, could he replace the role? So

364
00:14:10,360 --> 00:14:11,799
I loved how he did that. And then on the

365
00:14:11,840 --> 00:14:14,279
defensive side, it's funny he was actually getting interviewed right

366
00:14:14,320 --> 00:14:18,120
behind me. Katu luave the transfer filling big shoes of

367
00:14:18,240 --> 00:14:21,679
Jack Kelly. I think that's super, super tough of Obviously,

368
00:14:21,679 --> 00:14:24,200
Beckay was the number one linebacker out of the transfer portal,

369
00:14:24,279 --> 00:14:27,159
so a lot of good stuff from loved this interview.

370
00:14:27,200 --> 00:14:28,799
This was a gym, was able to get through a

371
00:14:28,840 --> 00:14:32,120
lot and appreciate his time and obviously b yu for

372
00:14:32,159 --> 00:14:34,360
the privilege to be an interview Who could be and

373
00:14:34,440 --> 00:14:36,159
who a lot of people are saying will be RB two.

374
00:14:36,840 --> 00:14:41,200
Speaker 2: We surprised he discussed the injury right, the injury sustained

375
00:14:41,279 --> 00:14:43,799
and kind of had a little setback at the bowl

376
00:14:43,799 --> 00:14:45,000
game trying to make his way back.

377
00:14:45,080 --> 00:14:46,080
Speaker 5: Yeah, honestly was surprised.

378
00:14:46,080 --> 00:14:48,120
Speaker 4: It's our job to ask the questions and and I

379
00:14:48,120 --> 00:14:50,440
don't like to tell people's you know stories, I do,

380
00:14:50,480 --> 00:14:52,559
but I want them to speak on that. I was surprised,

381
00:14:52,559 --> 00:14:55,480
but I think is at a point where he is comfortable,

382
00:14:55,519 --> 00:14:57,120
you know, talking about it was something I think that

383
00:14:57,240 --> 00:14:59,600
he doesn't want this luring above his head. And you

384
00:14:59,679 --> 00:15:02,360
know it sounds like, you know, from the patience on

385
00:15:02,360 --> 00:15:05,840
the sideline, it sounds like his faith has taught him

386
00:15:05,879 --> 00:15:08,320
that this is not a setback. You know, this is

387
00:15:08,360 --> 00:15:11,039
only gonna make him better, and that he learned a lot, right,

388
00:15:11,080 --> 00:15:13,279
you know, being a leader. I'm on this team right

389
00:15:13,279 --> 00:15:15,679
because this is Lj's last season after that is a

390
00:15:15,679 --> 00:15:17,720
guy that could be RB one. You know, a lot

391
00:15:17,759 --> 00:15:19,399
of people are gonna say, well, that might be a stretch,

392
00:15:19,440 --> 00:15:22,080
but if he's able to stay healthy, been and have

393
00:15:22,159 --> 00:15:24,679
a five or six hundred yard Russian season, he puts

394
00:15:24,720 --> 00:15:27,720
himself in the conversation for next year. So I was

395
00:15:27,759 --> 00:15:29,559
a little bit surprised, but at the same time, I

396
00:15:29,600 --> 00:15:32,039
think he's I'm going through this, He's had his trial

397
00:15:32,039 --> 00:15:33,960
of faith, the refiners fire, and he's mature enough to

398
00:15:34,039 --> 00:15:37,879
understand and again appreciate him. Let letting Kugarnation know what

399
00:15:38,039 --> 00:15:39,440
was going on, and I think he's ready to hit

400
00:15:39,480 --> 00:15:41,840
the ground running and put twenty twenty five behind him.

401
00:15:41,919 --> 00:15:43,639
Speaker 5: He's looking forward to twenty twenty six.

402
00:15:45,559 --> 00:15:49,320
Speaker 2: Love it, wat some more of it, shone moa running back,

403
00:15:49,720 --> 00:15:53,799
Numero dos behind LJ. Martin taking the baton, getting a

404
00:15:53,840 --> 00:15:56,480
lot of the reps, getting back into the swing of things.

405
00:15:56,879 --> 00:16:02,440
Let's keep this man healthy, Let's keep this man humble. Yes,

406
00:16:02,519 --> 00:16:05,240
but hungry for that pig skin because I think you

407
00:16:05,279 --> 00:16:08,960
can toe the rock well. But guys, that's our player profile,

408
00:16:09,039 --> 00:16:11,679
