Sammy talked about if he is relieved that the preseason is finally over, how confident he is that the offense will be able to move the ball and score points, if he believes they will keep 5 running backs on the roster, if he likes lining up at the fullback position, the importance of his role on the special teams unit, and if he ever worries about the final cut down of the roster

Sammy morris' in the house you know Troy adoption. And Edwards are helpful time you're telling them buffalo isn't -- You know all those different places -- with a -- specialties when he was a bad guy when he was -- day and it was -- again he got a you became McGregor. Are you was relieved as most fans -- get the pre season over with and get ready for real football.

Yeah I mean to a certain degree you know it's. You know it's it's. With the words it's. It's as you know it's a strenuous thing and it's you know any games you know taking me you know don't count but but then you know then again they do council. But yet I think everyone is you know already just to you know -- and.

I'm wondering if you -- what you think of this offense based on what you've seen so far. And I know pre season doesn't mean everything but how confident are you that this offense is going to be able to move the football score points.

Yeah Orman you I think you know even you know before you know the pre zoned in on mom you know confident in and what we have been. -- Anderson in our outlook you know for the season so. Your thank you -- in pre season you know you know we were little. Community consists of -- you know the source consistently. You know you know playing well. But you know you're not I think we you know some all the Carmen and confidence in the world in. Yasuo you sort.

Or your present. And and I wanna talk about the public figure things like you do when and we is one of football. Is football team. This year looks like is going to be a team that did that could possibly on the ball very well this year and I know. You of their first producer in the year before about the injuries and stuff like that and for it and you know but. -- and I were talking earlier about the the stable of backs against them and you may or may not answer this question but you know. We were discussed and -- that his team's going to be able to keep five. -- and how successful would -- team being in the game machine.

Yeah well I mean. Job Phil you're really confident in in in who we have you obviously not just you know in the backfield but you know we have a front as well and -- and in the ability to -- coming complement to running game you know you know with their passing game and you know Saudi com but I feel really confident -- who we have and you know the option -- and -- how we're approaching things and you know as far as the numbers -- you know I don't know. You know how we plan on -- but. The you know I do know once the you know the -- Rosser said. You know there -- of the group vets you know and and again you weird and we were little you know inconsistent and in the pre season's you know he's receiving the running game but. And -- idea -- of all the confidence in the world and in you know not just our backs -- you know and our office.

Well I do think UB because you do have one thing is the rest of the guys don't his ability to please listen to -- And people in ten level and -- back to -- There we analysts says Sam is that one could bag you -- that one -- new message this is going moves in Australia on defense last I hope that both of a -- live from him to be getting. Dual -- for brown. Trouble is they've made to play defensive line in the way that was -- everybody was playing defensive line at the -- pretty great I mean eyes what -- You know out of out of love together imprisoned defense but you know now we need to put them.

Let me ask you about the -- thing because you want. The only guy really who plays that position on this team I know there -- some sets where maybe one of these new tight ends mightn't slide back into that position. Do you like that position you are you happy when they when they say Sammy in this set -- the fall back on the state.

Meant when I step on the field. If you know as long as I have -- in -- analogous so far on the -- then I'm happy playing you know so it's. You know if on the dusted off kickoff returner you know block him and you know trying to the scored to help support us on there than. You know -- have -- from planned fullback from playing Q office coming on this you know -- a supplement fit on this you know I'm happy to be there and now happy to compete.

I'm sitting with two guys. Who understood that special teams was not a punishment. It was an opportunity. It was a privilege -- appears -- an opportunity after a team that sharply as. I mean out as part returns he would Pittsburgh returns in the playoff games Talal was up there blocking -- bugged me was that the block and Lori Muller with lemon test now retired. And all of us start they don't return on harassing -- details -- so. If this important to you you'd be out there and bill always ways to comment to you you can you can attest to this about you know what last champion about the return punts. Last -- with -- I mean. This is wrong with some like the return -- we're gonna. It's because he hopes to as that would it has been spent a does the president that's what he says notes I'm not always.

at a price hosting company at some. You know it's this it says its audiences different -- you know it's like it's on offense you did you know you come on -- sector you know tenure as a first down -- on second down. And make a big -- put you know completed a pass on third and the news is first down and you know -- testing you miss one blog and you get a plot pump blog there is no segment and it's. It was like that one play you have to you have to perform and.

And now we always talked about specialties -- that one part of the game where one play. Can actually swung the momentum back into your favorite you know the team discordant -- I'm going to take -- out to you tick tick -- back on get a huge return -- you can get the momentum back and do you think.

Sorry last year special teams especially the return game was kind of hit or miss proposition at times for this team that's one thing I'll say out of this pre season so far. I like what I'm seeing out of both punt returning kickoff return teams you they.

We've your -- we know Scott your ram back to I think we've we've done a really good job of you know I just -- off to start in pricing come you know in you're carrying it over to to game day and you know -- guessing -- some some to return is an you know a lot of hard workers you know. On the kickoff returner -- punt return and normally even that you know to kick off and I'm punting as well. The cover teams are you know doing a great job of of working hard in practice. And in Leipzig -- or to the game and yeah -- we really did it really good unit out there and by insidious is good it's good to see. You know some some execution on that when you take your first kick off of the game and bring it back 55. -- a heck of a difference a football game. What I mean that in the same thing with you know Saint Louis -- neighborhood you know to capitalize that would you know when to bring it to be the -- the terms of opening kickoff back and you -- so that's you know source of us that's a huge momentum should is you -- momentum shift -- you can really. You know put the Pacific gas and opposing team.

Because that got a few saw the Marshall Ohio State game as nice as specialties -- a big role in that game we will most republic opening kick of the historical -- And then we actually got to block a field goal and we ran it back for a touchdown via the school was fort Madison --

Oh yes special I -- a huge that claim that met. They had their 45 to seven -- special teams gonna saved him draw it was a huge part in the game and he definitely gonna point the and I gave up the points to. Are you past the point where you worry about this final cut down day. I mean -- kind of -- your career where units that they're waiting for so.

Maybe knock on your door. Why may not -- you know I think go. I mean I think you know for the most is nothing it's in everybody's you know in the baca of everybody's mind you it's coming in and me just you never know what to expect and and and agitate to get. You know so the point where I just feel like you know like all I know I'm Noah made it kind of thing judges on AMIS novel is. You know try to I guess. You know prepare also mentally for the worst and -- and physically. You know citizens for -- working hard and trying to you know do the best thing to you know to to keep my job and you know it's you know this is really it's a rough here you know focus. I mean as I mean I've never gotten used to you know to be in there and seeing guys you know comment. You know I dismiss that on a dream whatever so. You know I've always Estrada's nor does work hard and and his new -- you have to come -- yes.

little time in the locker and -- but I think when you know you've worked hard and done everything you could do even if you did it. You can -- little bit and and a few hours it on the -- and you know read into everything quiet ride yeah as a bit please. Then you is is that next day is usually pretty rough to come to work and I've been there -- like you -- what impact -- four.
