Fehoko: Best for ping pong to just come up a little bit? Yeah, yeah. 100%, I'm going to charge him a little more. I mean, I don't have enough to go with him, but I'll still bet in a second. No, it's going to be fun, man.
Fehoko: Oh, I'm so excited. I mean, there's no one more deserving than him. I was with him. I mean, I've been with him while they've been going through all this. And I mean, there's no one that deserves it more. And it's crazy. He's not even the number one athlete in his family. So I tell him that I had to make sure he's a little humble down there. But no, I'm so happy for him.
Fehoko: I mean, you've talked about this a bunch of times during this whole process. But after what you kind of went through last year, I think there was a feeling like you would be on a 53 with it. And it didn't quite work out. And it was like a later thing. What's this been like for you?
Fehoko: I mean, it's awesome. I mean, for me and my family, I mean, we're super excited to, you know, I mean, I've been through this. I've been in it long enough to know, you know, there's certain ways that things shake out. And I was super excited and blessed that I get to stay here with my guys and get something. I think something special is really growing here. And I want to be a part of it. And I want to help win.
Fehoko: I mean, just looking at, I saw the preseason stats. You look at who led the whole NFL in rushing. It was our running backs. Who led the whole, you know, in receiving, it was our receivers. You look at the quarterbacks. It's our quarterback. So it's like, you know, just seeing that as a whole, it gives you a lot of confidence as not only a receiver, but as an offense as a whole, just to, I mean, that was just our twos and threes out there running. I mean, you got, we haven't even added Trey, Marv, Mike, all these guys in here. So I can only expect it to be the standard.
Fehoko: A little more to that. I think, I mean, obviously it's super cool to see our offense, you know, succeed the way it is, but just the guys in the locker room, how close we are. I mean, defense, offense, special teams, guys, like it doesn't matter who it is. Everybody's close and we're all doing stuff together. And I mean, I like, I think it's super cool. Super special.
Fehoko: Yeah, I mean, I think Mike's a little biased to that, but you know, take that with the greatest help, but no, I appreciate him. And I mean, we just, we go out there and work. We have a great water receiver coach and, you know, we all help each other get better.
Fehoko: Yeah, I mean, for me and my game, I've always sort of been that, you know, five, six guy that makes impact on teams and then sort of can play anywhere. So if you need somebody, someone goes down, you can plug and play. And I take pride in that, I think. However, I can help the wide receiver room in any way, whether it's, you know, I've been in it for six years, I can help, you know, the rookies and things like that. But I also, you know, still learn from KB and things like that, where anywhere I can add value to a team, I'm here for it.
Fehoko: Yeah, yeah, I mean, Gobi has me playing all over the place. So whether it's outside, inside, kick off, kick return, I mean, whatever I need to do. And they sort of just use me as like a, you know, queen piece on a chessboard. So whatever, whatever works.
Fehoko: Oh, I loved it. Is that you? I like the little, yes, I like it. I like it, I like it. It might change to my ring to my wife. I'll add it to my wife's ring to whenever I call. So, no, no, it was awesome.
