00:00:05,559 --> 00:00:06,280
Speaker 1: Just spend a lake for you.

00:00:06,320 --> 00:00:08,719
Speaker 2: So far, it's been fun being able to learn under

00:00:08,760 --> 00:00:10,840
Speaker 2: some really good guys and being able to work with

5
00:00:10,840 --> 00:00:13,400
Speaker 2: our D line and obviously our coaches and vests that

6
00:00:13,440 --> 00:00:14,159
Speaker 2: we have in the O line room.

7
00:00:14,200 --> 00:00:17,640
Speaker 1: It's just been amazing. Kidding right left, right, left, like

8
00:00:17,840 --> 00:00:20,239
Speaker 1: what what's going through your mind? In the constant switching

9
00:00:20,239 --> 00:00:22,680
Speaker 1: your positions wherever they need me. That's what I'm gonna do.

10
00:00:22,880 --> 00:00:25,080
Speaker 2: So, like you said, I switch up a lot and

11
00:00:26,000 --> 00:00:28,240
Speaker 2: I have fun with it. So I mean, it's great

12
00:00:28,240 --> 00:00:30,400
Speaker 2: competition and I have great guys that helped me out

13
00:00:30,400 --> 00:00:30,640
Speaker 2: with it.

14
00:00:30,720 --> 00:00:32,199
Speaker 1: So I'm just glad to be here. Do you have

15
00:00:32,240 --> 00:00:34,000
Speaker 1: to have a like a reminder or I'm on the

16
00:00:34,080 --> 00:00:35,839
Speaker 1: left side. I got to kick this back put for

17
00:00:36,040 --> 00:00:38,199
Speaker 1: you know what I mean? Whatever the checklist, mental checkers.

18
00:00:38,440 --> 00:00:40,239
Speaker 2: I kind of do that in meetings and kind of

19
00:00:40,240 --> 00:00:43,839
Speaker 2: switch my mind over. I've had more abrupt transitions in

20
00:00:43,880 --> 00:00:46,479
Speaker 2: practice a couple of times, and when that happens, I

21
00:00:46,520 --> 00:00:47,080
Speaker 2: just do it in the moment.

22
00:00:47,120 --> 00:00:50,640
Speaker 1: Couldn't flip everything in my head, you know the past.

23
00:00:51,000 --> 00:00:51,600
Speaker 1: I'm excited.

24
00:00:51,840 --> 00:00:54,480
Speaker 2: You know, shells is cool, but when you put the

25
00:00:54,480 --> 00:00:56,840
Speaker 2: pads on it's rail. So I'm excited to get after

26
00:00:56,880 --> 00:00:58,080
Speaker 2: it and be able to work with the guys that

27
00:00:58,120 --> 00:01:00,440
Speaker 2: we have here. And I mean, really, it'll be my

28
00:01:00,440 --> 00:01:02,440
Speaker 2: first real NFL practice, so I'm excited for it.

29
00:01:03,400 --> 00:01:04,280
Speaker 1: A lot of work.

30
00:01:04,240 --> 00:01:08,360
Speaker 2: Because I mean, I expect it to be kind of

31
00:01:08,360 --> 00:01:12,920
Speaker 2: the same just with contact. At the end, a lot

32
00:01:12,920 --> 00:01:14,520
Speaker 2: of the speed of the game stuff has already been,

33
00:01:15,160 --> 00:01:18,640
Speaker 2: you know, translated into my head, so just the physicality

34
00:01:18,680 --> 00:01:19,480
Speaker 2: part comes in tomorrow.

35
00:01:19,720 --> 00:01:22,119
Speaker 1: What you thought, Is it what you thought it would

36
00:01:22,120 --> 00:01:24,120
Speaker 1: be or what's it been like you? I mean, it's

37
00:01:24,160 --> 00:01:26,080
Speaker 1: definitely what I thought it would be. You know.

38
00:01:26,120 --> 00:01:27,399
Speaker 2: Playing at Penn State, I had a lot of great

39
00:01:27,440 --> 00:01:29,119
Speaker 2: guys that went to the league that I was friends with,

40
00:01:29,400 --> 00:01:32,160
Speaker 2: so I was able to talk to them and kind

41
00:01:32,200 --> 00:01:34,520
Speaker 2: of get a good understanding of what's gonna happen. And

42
00:01:34,560 --> 00:01:36,119
Speaker 2: then now that I'm here, I'm able to kind.

43
00:01:35,959 --> 00:01:38,840
Speaker 1: Of put it in action. You're getting it left that.

44
00:01:39,800 --> 00:01:41,479
Speaker 2: I mean, every day I get more and more comfortable

45
00:01:42,319 --> 00:01:44,720
Speaker 2: with every meeting, with every practice, I just gained more

46
00:01:44,760 --> 00:01:46,160
Speaker 2: and more confidence in my skills.

47
00:01:47,080 --> 00:01:49,840
Speaker 1: You mentioned speed with game. How is registered out here

48
00:01:49,840 --> 00:01:54,280
Speaker 1: and going against the guys your face it's it's a

49
00:01:54,320 --> 00:01:55,400
Speaker 1: little different than college.

50
00:01:55,440 --> 00:01:57,720
Speaker 2: But in college I had some really fast guys as well,

51
00:01:57,920 --> 00:01:59,960
Speaker 2: So I kind of transition the same things I work

52
00:02:00,040 --> 00:02:02,800
Speaker 2: done with Job Robinson and the dece Isaac and the

53
00:02:02,800 --> 00:02:04,120
Speaker 2: guys that I played in the Big Ten. I kind

54
00:02:04,120 --> 00:02:05,760
Speaker 2: of shifted that over to the guys that we have here.

55
00:02:05,800 --> 00:02:07,840
Speaker 2: And of course it's a little different, but it's the

56
00:02:07,840 --> 00:02:08,239
Speaker 2: same point.

57
00:02:08,600 --> 00:02:11,760
Speaker 1: Can how much the competition being communicated to you guys

58
00:02:12,040 --> 00:02:12,480
Speaker 1: as far as.

59
00:02:12,440 --> 00:02:15,519
Speaker 2: Where time or now? We just kind of read the

60
00:02:15,560 --> 00:02:17,799
Speaker 2: depth chart every day and get after it. It's not

61
00:02:17,840 --> 00:02:19,520
Speaker 2: really a whole lot of conversation that goes into it.

62
00:02:19,960 --> 00:02:22,720
Speaker 2: And I would say we're all helping each other out,

63
00:02:22,800 --> 00:02:24,760
Speaker 2: like we're all like it's a really good room to

64
00:02:24,760 --> 00:02:27,440
Speaker 2: be in in terms of competition, Like no one's being

65
00:02:27,480 --> 00:02:30,079
Speaker 2: weird about it. We're all talking and communicating and making

66
00:02:30,080 --> 00:02:31,400
Speaker 2: sure every guy's doing their job right.

67
00:02:31,480 --> 00:02:33,240
Speaker 1: So I'm grateful to be here. Where do you guys

68
00:02:33,240 --> 00:02:35,520
Speaker 1: see the depth chart? But where where is the post

69
00:02:35,600 --> 00:02:36,760
Speaker 1: where life meetings?

70
00:02:36,919 --> 00:02:38,760
Speaker 2: A whole lot of meetings. We'll get a little depth

71
00:02:38,840 --> 00:02:40,680
Speaker 2: chart before we go out from morning.

72
00:02:40,560 --> 00:02:43,200
Speaker 1: Meeting with guy? Yeah? Yeah, And is that that's how

73
00:02:43,240 --> 00:02:47,480
Speaker 1: you find out excited playing. Yeah, yeah, okay. What would

74
00:02:47,480 --> 00:02:49,320
Speaker 1: you say you've improved the most since maybe the spring

75
00:02:49,400 --> 00:02:49,840
Speaker 1: and what are you.

76
00:02:49,880 --> 00:02:52,560
Speaker 2: Still really trying to hold on around? I would say

77
00:02:52,560 --> 00:02:54,720
Speaker 2: my hands have gotten a little bit better. It's something

78
00:02:54,760 --> 00:02:56,600
Speaker 2: that I wanted to work on coming from college and

79
00:02:56,720 --> 00:02:58,760
Speaker 2: then being with you know, coach Peters. He has a

80
00:02:58,800 --> 00:03:01,160
Speaker 2: whole strike system that we'll learningarning and that's just really

81
00:03:01,200 --> 00:03:03,560
Speaker 2: helped me out. I would also say my kicksets, Like

82
00:03:04,200 --> 00:03:06,000
Speaker 2: I've gotten a lot better at not turning out as

83
00:03:06,040 --> 00:03:09,160
Speaker 2: fast as I did previously, and so being able to

84
00:03:09,200 --> 00:03:10,600
Speaker 2: translate that to my game.

85
00:03:10,480 --> 00:03:17,680
Speaker 1: Has helped me out so much. The biggest learnings, I.

86
00:03:17,680 --> 00:03:20,519
Speaker 2: Would say it's a mix of the new technique that

87
00:03:20,520 --> 00:03:23,880
Speaker 2: I'm learning and then that combined with plays I never

88
00:03:23,960 --> 00:03:26,959
Speaker 2: ran before. We ran a lot of Penn State, but

89
00:03:27,040 --> 00:03:29,040
Speaker 2: now we have a lot of different stuff that we

90
00:03:29,120 --> 00:03:32,519
Speaker 2: do here. So just being able to learn that and

91
00:03:32,560 --> 00:03:33,639
Speaker 2: then put it on the field.

92
00:03:33,400 --> 00:03:40,160
Speaker 1: In practice strength system. It's detailed and it helps out

93
00:03:40,160 --> 00:03:40,400
Speaker 1: a lot.

94
00:03:40,720 --> 00:03:44,200
Speaker 2: Like it's something that I wish I knew earlier because

95
00:03:44,640 --> 00:03:47,280
Speaker 2: it's just it fixes a lot of things.

96
00:03:47,600 --> 00:03:49,560
Speaker 1: Like you you have a lot more time to figure

97
00:03:49,600 --> 00:03:50,640
Speaker 1: things out, and.

98
00:03:52,120 --> 00:03:54,080
Speaker 2: Like it it works with speed, it works with power,

99
00:03:54,160 --> 00:03:57,560
Speaker 2: it works with guys that are dynamic inside moves, like

100
00:03:57,640 --> 00:03:58,840
Speaker 2: there's an answer for everything.

101
00:04:00,080 --> 00:04:04,520
Speaker 1: You imagine that my line kicks. He was into something

102
00:04:04,640 --> 00:04:04,800
Speaker 1: like that.

103
00:04:05,480 --> 00:04:09,200
Speaker 2: Just mental work pre and post practice off the field

104
00:04:09,200 --> 00:04:11,880
Speaker 2: when we do walk throughs, just locking in on little

105
00:04:11,920 --> 00:04:14,440
Speaker 2: things that I need to do to translate to when

106
00:04:14,480 --> 00:04:16,799
Speaker 2: I get on the field, you know, go full speed. Okay.

107
00:04:19,400 --> 00:04:25,360
Speaker 2: For the NFL, I would say, yeah, Coach Trotwine was

108
00:04:25,360 --> 00:04:29,400
Speaker 2: amazing and the skills that he taught me definitely carry

109
00:04:29,400 --> 00:04:32,040
Speaker 2: it over. But a lot of the things that he

110
00:04:32,120 --> 00:04:34,640
Speaker 2: taught us, like off the field, like about just characteristics

111
00:04:34,680 --> 00:04:36,840
Speaker 2: you need to have to survive in the league help

112
00:04:36,920 --> 00:04:38,560
Speaker 2: me out a lot. So like Coach Trout taught me

113
00:04:38,560 --> 00:04:41,120
Speaker 2: how to take notes properly, and he taught me how

114
00:04:41,120 --> 00:04:43,000
Speaker 2: to focus. He taught me how to like be prepared

115
00:04:43,000 --> 00:04:45,080
Speaker 2: for practice and always be prepared for games. And he

116
00:04:45,160 --> 00:04:47,280
Speaker 2: taught me how to do film studies. So obviously things

117
00:04:47,320 --> 00:04:48,719
Speaker 2: like that helped me out so much at this level.

118
00:04:50,880 --> 00:04:53,560
Speaker 1: Cool. Thank you guys, appreciate it. Thank you
