im that way and it was just a place I could always go to you know I can always slow down you know life comes at you fast this place I can only slow down biking and getting deer stand I can pray it up a little bit there it's quiet you know and then be out hunting it's fun and I enjoy it I love it I'm glad my family loves it and man I'm glad I can go out and do it yeah oh we got three boys playing college football kind of picture bring a little bit about what yeah it's awesome I know the Lord's bl
ess our family and I know my parents are summe thankful you know for all three of us to be out playing football I don't know if they ever you know drew it up or thought about this way but you know glad we're here so it's gonna be tough on on mom and dad trying to put you know pick and choose games I think they're kind of joking around the dinner table you know hope and tolerant Dillon get redshirted but it's gonna be fun and I'm you know Dillon Tyler just trying to teach her you know I'm not try
ing to teach them you know how how to do do life you do stuff at college but and I'm always here for them you know I've you know spoken a couple words to them about it and you know because it kind of comes at you fast it's slightly different you know they're growing up you know but I want them to be their own people too and I know they're they're both enjoying where they're at right now and I'm just super excited for them now coming off the field from the Sugar Bowl not the anything that you wan
ted but at the same time learning experience point going to to this season losing players every year and that's just the way it works coming up as president um lost great guys on hospice how are you looking forward to being even a stronger leader yeah yeah we lost a lot of production we had up on the board yesterday it was like 1300 to 1400 snaps they need to be replaced but you know that's that's kind of the deal about the turnover every single year you know you're always gonna lose productive
guys it is what it is I know there's a lot of guys hungry and that offensive room right now you know itchin you know for that opportunity to take some of the snaps get some of those jars to get some of those touchdowns some other pumped about it you know for me really it comes down to you know not not being with the inner guys but trying to push and leave the younger guys in the right direction you know show them how to learn show them how we do things show them how to practice you know if it co
mes to you know getting on them you know I you know obviously coach Smart has a different way getting on them but you know I can kind of you know you know you know push their back a little bit so hey you know you know let's do it this way so I'm pumped you know for that for that opportunity ready to go there's a lot of guys on the team who are willing do the same so we're excited about it ready start spring ball coming into another year it's crazy man thank you back I it just seems like mom and

out and show and let's see what going home guys been knocking on the door man so close it's a really tough ball and the play is again pretty big better and better and better that continue to drive you even an offseason game at those two at Alabama obviously that's the Martins benchmark you want to gosh you know what it takes to get there and then you know you have to go that much more to get over that over that edge and past is stuff it really is you know you try to come up with different ways i
n your head you know ha you know we got to train this way or I got to do this I gotta do that and mana stuff is physically demanding it's mentally demanding and you just you just know what it takes you know I think I said early you just know what it takes you have to go that much harder some guys are willing to do that some guys aren't and you know for me as leader on the team to really strive and push guys say hey you know you know what it takes you know let's go let's go that much that much fa
rther you know it's my job to kind of push them lead them to want to do that and and just strive to be the best we can be how does that feel you just you know I mean did you ever your wildest dreams think that you would be that that name that it resonates with so many people gosh no it's crazy you know that yeah you know I'm still trying to figure that out I wish I knew all the answers but it's crazy you kind of think you know that it is what it is I'm sleeping thankful for it and I'm blessed I'
