you know when they brought in Tyler I think kind of the natural assumption was that you know what morai was last year kind of just take it over if you been surprised at how much just been able to kind of hang around yeah Ian that's I think he's hard ER you know comp quarterback and I think he you know continue to show people know play how you envision this partnership combination with you and how do you think that's how you think it's going to play out yeah I mean us both to stay first you know I think it a long season uh a lot of Big Time teams coming in here the Big 10 especially so I mean we got to feed all each other you know I've been backfield where there's two gr of us that you don't have to touch the ball during games so end of the day you know running back s where you can't be the only one eating anymore so has to like as far as strengths I mean do you you feel your GES compliment each other if you simar and talk a little bit about in what ways yeah I think we compl each other really well you know similar to how me and compliment each other I think T you know he's a Dunder in my life so I think at the end of the day you know he he he brings the he brings the pop for sure you know I can't too but we do we do similar things well he does things in areas that I need to get better at in I think was much excitement about this off going into last year up and didn't quite way want what gives y confidence to be better this year second year under yeah I mean like you said it's the second year you know we I wouldn't say we were learning during the season last year but it was all new so especially people that have been here again you know it's like second now so there's not a lot of learning anymore go ahead what did make you decide to come so many injuries had to deal with last few years what made you decide you wanted to come back um you know just talking to people that I felt you know had good good intentions with me just said you know I think you be selling yourself short if you try to go to the NFL next year this year or last year and you know go back and try to you know have that healthy season you kind of should for so that's why there's been a lot of talk about leadership from coach fck on down is that something that you're trying to kind of maybe step up not that you hav't before but step up and and be more of a leader this year yeah definitely you know with me especially you know I've always been someone that has to lead by example you know I I the next step for me is leading with my boys but for me I know that in order for me to be the best version of myself and the best leader I know that I have to produce and be on the football field so yeah with time but at the end of the day I know when I'm on the football fielders groups kind of dur during the offseason you take us a little behind the curtain like what were were those things you guys did last year and kind of what you know leadership one of those things it's like how do you how do you teach you know how how did you guys go about the process of you know strengthening that part of I mean leadership you know I wouldn't say it's talk but at the end of the day like you know who you know teams know who the leaders are and like you don't have to be vocal every people lead in different ways so I mean assembling a group of guys that people feel that lead the room or like there's a couple guys in these room these leaders so I mean identifying who they are just making sure bringing along everyone with you cuz leaders are you lead by example you lead how you do it how you do things so you know Gathering those group of guys and kind of making sure everyone's on the same page go way how you feel [Music] your I mean I think it's a perfect offense for me you know I think a lot of people know that and I think that you know with what coach Longo likes to do and how coach fling you know coaches us I think that I'm in for in Big Year what are you still anxious to learn about the running back room so many new faces and you're you know you're the other Statesman you know what what what are you curious about what what's fascinating you over the next few weeks I mean we have a lot of bodies you know I've never been in a running back room where I think we have like nine guys in so you know going into fall Camp I'm excited to leave this group of guys you know there's a I wouldn't say there's a lot of touches to go around but you know fall Camp's long so you know a lot of people are going to get to show what they can do and I'm excited to leave these guys when looking at the schedule hey when looking at the schedule and just how tough it is um what do you like about that yeah you know I mean these are big games and you know if you want to go to the next level these are the type of games that you have to produ in you know if you have aspirations and dreams of playing the NFL these are the type of games that you want and I tell that tell guys in our room that all the time like if you want to go to the next level like these are the big games that you prod uh
