Speaker 1 (00:00):
I was camp. It's going well, loving it, you know,
playing football. Can't beat it. That's been adjusting to the
speed a little bit. It's been smooth. I mean that's
really you know.

Speaker 2 (00:11):
One of the main reasons I was looking forward to
becoming a pro just being able to go against better
competition day and day out. So I feel like I'm
doing a good job adjusting to temple of things. Oh
look there for you to get to square fans at
duel as much as you do.

Speaker 1 (00:24):
Oh, it's good. I mean he's a great player, you know,
extremely fast.

Speaker 2 (00:26):
A lot of ben so it's good to be able
to go against him and iron sharpens ire daily.

Speaker 3 (00:31):
So what do you see from him as a player? O?
Great to maybe like obviously there's a girl script is
coming in, but just like the way he goes about
one on ones or.

Speaker 2 (00:40):
Yeah, I mean, you know, not a lot of people
can move the way he does. You know, he's a
very fast, very explosive cat. He's able to bend the
edge very well. So like being able to go against
that and being able to fight over the top of
the rush players like that.

Speaker 3 (00:53):
What do you do for that? Ben?

Speaker 1 (00:55):
Ben? It's just we're outworking you know, it's it's tough
to to.

Speaker 2 (01:00):
See something like that, and you just got to be
able to, you know, put your hands in the right
place and.

Speaker 1 (01:05):
Learn around the corner.

Speaker 4 (01:08):
What's it's the one thing you learned from training camping
and you're sort of working on here.

Speaker 1 (01:16):
I mean, just getting better each day.

Speaker 2 (01:19):
You know, I wouldn't say there's one thing and specific
that I've learned yet, but you know, just getting better
each day all around, you know, getting stronger, getting better
a technique. You know, that's really the main goal for me.

Speaker 1 (01:31):
You prefer playing on the right side.

Speaker 4 (01:32):
I mean that's obviously it's not all of your reps
so far as that that make it easier that. I
guess like you're most familiar with that side.

Speaker 2 (01:40):
I mean, I've been playing the right side past couple
of years, but I really just go wherever Karm tells
me to, you know, so at the end of the day,
I'm gonna do what he says.

Speaker 1 (01:48):
You've had a.

Speaker 3 (01:48):
Couple of practices of pads. Now what do you make
of just like growth from day one of that and Monday.

Speaker 1 (01:54):
To Friday, it's been good.

Speaker 2 (01:55):
I feel like I've been taking good strides each day
and that's really what it's all about, you know, being
able to put the coaching points and being able to
move past your failures each day.

Speaker 4 (02:04):
In regards to playing on the right side, one more
thing about that, I'm curious, do you know, obviously I
have to flip you know, your hands and stuff. When
you're as if you're going to go on the left site,
do you work on both or do you just right
from right now at least exclusively focusing on Like you know,
you're persisting from the right side.

Speaker 1 (02:22):
And I work on both work right and left and
basically a dual.

Speaker 4 (02:28):
I know, guys just talked at all, like how he sets
of this moves or has multiple different moves.

Speaker 1 (02:31):
What's impressed about that part of this game?

Speaker 2 (02:34):
Uh, just the ability to counter I feel like, you know,
it's kind of just like effortless, you know, being able
to go from one move to the next.

Speaker 1 (02:40):
Just being able to continuously working. I think that's probably
the most impersonal thing about it.
