1
00:00:04,800 --> 00:00:06,880
Speaker 1: Being able to share that experience with my pops is

2
00:00:06,920 --> 00:00:09,440
Speaker 1: just I can't put it into words, you know, it's

3
00:00:09,520 --> 00:00:13,119
Speaker 1: it's amazing. I don't want to brag, but I'm pretty

4
00:00:13,119 --> 00:00:18,120
Speaker 1: good on the dance layer. It's like my dad always

5
00:00:18,120 --> 00:00:20,640
Speaker 1: said growing up, you know, you never have one position

6
00:00:20,760 --> 00:00:23,280
Speaker 1: when you play old line. My preference would be starting.

7
00:00:24,360 --> 00:00:38,879
Speaker 1: I'm gonna starting old line. Welcome into the lounge. We

8
00:00:38,960 --> 00:00:41,400

9
00:00:41,560 --> 00:00:44,279

10
00:00:44,320 --> 00:00:45,880
Speaker 1: to play this year and how this offensive line is

11
00:00:45,880 --> 00:00:48,360
Speaker 1: all gonna work out, and we're gonna ask him about

12
00:00:48,360 --> 00:00:53,080

Speaker 1: NFL dot net. We love to hear from you. Another

41
00:02:23,760 --> 00:02:26,639
Speaker 1: side note, you still haven't paying my dollar for the draft.

42
00:02:27,080 --> 00:02:28,919
Speaker 1: Why don't you give me my dollar. I'll get you

43
00:02:28,960 --> 00:02:31,320
Speaker 1: a dollar at some point. Maybe you were the worst.

44
00:02:31,440 --> 00:02:34,640
Speaker 1: I pay up all my bets. You were the worst.

45
00:02:35,000 --> 00:02:37,720
Speaker 1: I gotta I'm collecting a hundred pennies. So once I

46
00:02:37,720 --> 00:02:39,840
Speaker 1: get a hundred pennies, then I'm going to hand deliver them.

47
00:02:39,880 --> 00:02:42,360
Speaker 1: You're that guy. Yeah, yeah, you're that guy. Al Right, Well,

48
00:02:42,400 --> 00:02:44,720
Speaker 1: with no further ado, let's get to a player that

49
00:02:44,919 --> 00:02:47,560
Speaker 1: both of us really like. This dude. This dude's just

50
00:02:47,639 --> 00:02:52,079
Speaker 1: a bad, hard hitting, nasty football player. That's what I

51
00:02:52,120 --> 00:02:55,840
Speaker 1: love about him. This is guard, slash center, slash tackle

52
00:02:56,320 --> 00:02:59,240
Speaker 1: Alex Lewis. All right, so, Alex, you are a pretty

53
00:02:59,240 --> 00:03:01,560
Speaker 1: important figure the fans of the media right now. A

54
00:03:01,600 --> 00:03:03,600
Speaker 1: lot of people talking about you because we're all trying

55
00:03:03,639 --> 00:03:07,360
Speaker 1: to figure out what's gonna happen with the offensive line. Okay,

56
00:03:07,440 --> 00:03:10,160
Speaker 1: so you tell me where are you playing on the

57
00:03:10,200 --> 00:03:13,040
Speaker 1: offensive line this year? We gotta hear from the exactly

58
00:03:13,080 --> 00:03:18,480
Speaker 1: get it from you, not calling you a horse. It's

59
00:03:18,480 --> 00:03:20,280
Speaker 1: like my dad always said growing up, you know, you

60
00:03:20,400 --> 00:03:23,120
Speaker 1: never have one position when you play old line. When

61
00:03:23,160 --> 00:03:26,440
Speaker 1: coaches would ask. You know, fans ask what position you play,

62
00:03:26,480 --> 00:03:28,519
Speaker 1: you just say, old line. Um, you know, if you

63
00:03:28,560 --> 00:03:30,160
Speaker 1: want to, if you want to play a long time

64
00:03:30,160 --> 00:03:33,680
Speaker 1: in this league, it's all about being versatile. Um. You know,

65
00:03:33,720 --> 00:03:36,440
Speaker 1: if you be a jack of all trades, that's great,

66
00:03:36,800 --> 00:03:38,480
Speaker 1: but if you can be an expert in all trades,

67
00:03:38,520 --> 00:03:41,920
Speaker 1: that's even better. I mean you've been honestly, you've been

68
00:03:42,360 --> 00:03:44,880
Speaker 1: using that line since the Ravens drafted you last year.

69
00:03:44,920 --> 00:03:47,040
Speaker 1: I just remember interviewing you at you know, this point

70
00:03:47,080 --> 00:03:48,960
Speaker 1: last year, you basically saying, hey, I'm on the old line.

71
00:03:48,960 --> 00:03:50,960
Speaker 1: The line is the old line. But you gotta have

72
00:03:51,000 --> 00:03:53,760
Speaker 1: a preference, right, I mean you everyone's looking at you,

73
00:03:53,800 --> 00:03:56,160
Speaker 1: and they said, you can do it all any position.

74
00:03:56,600 --> 00:03:59,800
Speaker 1: Do you feel like you have a preference or doesn't matter. Yeah,

75
00:03:59,840 --> 00:04:05,040
Speaker 1: my preference would be starting I'm gonna starting old line. Yeah,

76
00:04:05,120 --> 00:04:08,240
Speaker 1: that'd be my preference. But now, I grew up with

77
00:04:08,240 --> 00:04:10,240
Speaker 1: that mentality, so you know, that's just the way I

78
00:04:10,280 --> 00:04:12,880
Speaker 1: look at it. And uh, you know, anything to give

79
00:04:12,920 --> 00:04:15,160
Speaker 1: me on the field, and it doesn't matter what position

80
00:04:15,160 --> 00:04:17,280
Speaker 1: it is, as long as on the old line. I'll

81
00:04:17,279 --> 00:04:19,200
Speaker 1: pepper you with one more question about the stop, al right,

82
00:04:19,320 --> 00:04:21,640
Speaker 1: and then I got five more. Yeah, this last one

83
00:04:21,720 --> 00:04:24,520
Speaker 1: for me. No center, could you play center? Do you like? What?

84
00:04:25,000 --> 00:04:26,839
Speaker 1: What do you think about? The stars said that, And

85
00:04:26,880 --> 00:04:30,240
Speaker 1: when he said that, I was like Alex's center. All right.

86
00:04:30,520 --> 00:04:33,360
Speaker 1: I had thought about that. No. I I grew up

87
00:04:34,160 --> 00:04:36,720
Speaker 1: around the center. My dad played center for nine years

88
00:04:36,720 --> 00:04:39,360
Speaker 1: in the league, one year with the Canadian Football League. Small,

89
00:04:40,040 --> 00:04:42,839
Speaker 1: small world. To show you what it's like is coach

90
00:04:42,960 --> 00:04:47,240
Speaker 1: d del Sanders is actually was my dad's old line

91
00:04:47,279 --> 00:04:50,000
Speaker 1: coach in the Canadian League his last year and now

92
00:04:50,000 --> 00:04:55,239
Speaker 1: he's coaching me. But no, my dad would always make sure, um,

93
00:04:55,279 --> 00:04:59,320
Speaker 1: I did tackle sets, guard sets, snap center, both left hand,

94
00:04:59,440 --> 00:05:01,880
Speaker 1: right hand, so you know, the more you can do

95
00:05:01,920 --> 00:05:05,400
Speaker 1: the better. Which hand do you snap with? I prefer right,

96
00:05:05,440 --> 00:05:07,560
Speaker 1: but it just depends on where that nose is lining up.

97
00:05:07,640 --> 00:05:10,240
Speaker 1: If you're trying to play the snappan you could change

98
00:05:10,240 --> 00:05:12,520
Speaker 1: your thing, did you guys? You guys do that all

99
00:05:12,520 --> 00:05:15,160
Speaker 1: the time. No, okay, you would just be doing that

100
00:05:15,360 --> 00:05:18,679
Speaker 1: from your dad. Yeah, just from my pops. That's pretty cool.

101
00:05:18,720 --> 00:05:21,840
Speaker 1: He did that in the league. Oh yeah, which hand

102
00:05:21,880 --> 00:05:25,160
Speaker 1: do you right with? All right? Okay, we're learning new

103
00:05:25,200 --> 00:05:28,839
Speaker 1: things here today. That's really neat alright, So on that

104
00:05:28,920 --> 00:05:33,120
Speaker 1: same subject a little bit. Is you've played you played

105
00:05:33,200 --> 00:05:37,039
Speaker 1: left tackle something last year. Guard obviously didn't anticipate you

106
00:05:37,080 --> 00:05:39,640
Speaker 1: stepping in, you know, probably when you were drafted stepping

107
00:05:39,680 --> 00:05:41,400
Speaker 1: in and filling in for Ronnie a little bit. But

108
00:05:41,640 --> 00:05:43,400
Speaker 1: I mean to be able to fill in there shows

109
00:05:43,480 --> 00:05:47,320
Speaker 1: obviously your versatility and whatnot. How comfortable do you feel

110
00:05:47,360 --> 00:05:49,880
Speaker 1: like you are at left tackle and does that transfer

111
00:05:50,040 --> 00:05:54,160
Speaker 1: to right tackle? Yeah, you know, absolutely, you know it's

112
00:05:54,160 --> 00:05:57,520
Speaker 1: a little bit different. Um, the way your weight displacement

113
00:05:57,600 --> 00:05:59,120
Speaker 1: is in your body. You know, when you're on the

114
00:05:59,200 --> 00:06:01,520
Speaker 1: left side, a lot of your weight's going to be

115
00:06:01,560 --> 00:06:03,440
Speaker 1: on the right side of the body, and when you're

116
00:06:03,480 --> 00:06:04,839
Speaker 1: on the right side, a lot of the weight's going

117
00:06:04,880 --> 00:06:08,440
Speaker 1: to say on your left side. So it's just repetition, repetition,

118
00:06:08,480 --> 00:06:11,560
Speaker 1: repetition when you're talking about that, um, like anything else,

119
00:06:11,600 --> 00:06:14,200
Speaker 1: Like if you're an artist, you're not just gonna pull

120
00:06:14,240 --> 00:06:16,640
Speaker 1: out one great painting on their first try. It's it's

121
00:06:16,640 --> 00:06:19,840
Speaker 1: all about repetition. It's all about practice, you know, mashing

122
00:06:19,839 --> 00:06:23,120
Speaker 1: your craft and over time, you know, you play the

123
00:06:23,160 --> 00:06:26,520
Speaker 1: sport in ten plus years, you know, you start to

124
00:06:26,600 --> 00:06:29,239
Speaker 1: hone in you know what what you realize what works,

125
00:06:29,279 --> 00:06:31,280
Speaker 1: what doesn't work, and then you just apply that to

126
00:06:31,400 --> 00:06:35,960
Speaker 1: different positions. Right, really successful rookie season obviously come out

127
00:06:35,960 --> 00:06:38,360
Speaker 1: of the fourth round pick you playing ten games, start eight.

128
00:06:38,960 --> 00:06:41,320
Speaker 1: So what do you think was like the biggest lesson

129
00:06:41,400 --> 00:06:44,560
Speaker 1: that you learned last year? Um, as a realkie, just

130
00:06:44,680 --> 00:06:47,560
Speaker 1: be quiet, you know, listen to the events. Um, you know,

131
00:06:47,640 --> 00:06:50,480
Speaker 1: having a guy like Marshall around. I mean I can

132
00:06:50,560 --> 00:06:53,080
Speaker 1: tell you this over and over. I mean, it works

133
00:06:53,080 --> 00:06:55,000
Speaker 1: wonders for you. You You know, you see a guy how

134
00:06:55,040 --> 00:06:57,839
Speaker 1: he comes to work every day. Um, you know the

135
00:06:57,839 --> 00:06:59,599
Speaker 1: biggest lesson is if a guy can do it for

136
00:06:59,680 --> 00:07:02,159
Speaker 1: ten years? You know, how can I watch them pick

137
00:07:02,240 --> 00:07:05,479
Speaker 1: up on something and you know, mimic it or you know,

138
00:07:05,600 --> 00:07:09,040
Speaker 1: not just mimic it, but make it my owner. Two. So,

139
00:07:09,760 --> 00:07:11,440
Speaker 1: you know, you look at a guy like Marshall, You

140
00:07:11,520 --> 00:07:13,640
Speaker 1: and Ronnie both kind of say that. You guys always

141
00:07:13,640 --> 00:07:15,520
Speaker 1: say that all the time. Just sort of come in,

142
00:07:15,840 --> 00:07:17,760
Speaker 1: be quiet, do your job. But I look at you

143
00:07:17,800 --> 00:07:19,480
Speaker 1: and Ronnie, it's like it seems like you guys are

144
00:07:19,560 --> 00:07:21,240
Speaker 1: kind of coming out of your shell a little bit

145
00:07:21,320 --> 00:07:23,000
Speaker 1: this year. It just seems like you guys have grown

146
00:07:23,040 --> 00:07:25,760
Speaker 1: together a Do you feel like you and Ronnie, the

147
00:07:25,800 --> 00:07:28,360
Speaker 1: idea of you guys being key pieces of this offensive

148
00:07:28,360 --> 00:07:30,160
Speaker 1: line before. We'd like you guys see yourselves as the

149
00:07:30,200 --> 00:07:32,960
Speaker 1: cornerstone of this group. And do you feel like you're

150
00:07:32,960 --> 00:07:34,720
Speaker 1: getting more comfortable you're able to kind of come out

151
00:07:34,720 --> 00:07:36,760
Speaker 1: of your show a little bit. Um. I wouldn't say

152
00:07:36,840 --> 00:07:39,320
Speaker 1: a cornerstone, just because you know every year they have

153
00:07:39,880 --> 00:07:41,520
Speaker 1: they're trying to get up there and you know, find

154
00:07:41,560 --> 00:07:45,240
Speaker 1: a bigger, faster, stronger, smarter rookie to come in and

155
00:07:45,280 --> 00:07:47,400
Speaker 1: take your job. You know, you gotta fight every day

156
00:07:47,400 --> 00:07:50,160
Speaker 1: in the NFL to maintain your job. So I look

157
00:07:50,200 --> 00:07:52,440
Speaker 1: at us that, you know, we look at one another

158
00:07:52,640 --> 00:07:55,040
Speaker 1: and we like to push each other. You know, whether

159
00:07:55,040 --> 00:07:56,480
Speaker 1: it's on or off the field, it's like, all right,

160
00:07:56,520 --> 00:07:58,000
Speaker 1: how can we get better at this? How can we

161
00:07:58,000 --> 00:08:00,600
Speaker 1: get better at that? And then you know it's nice

162
00:08:00,600 --> 00:08:03,120
Speaker 1: to sit back and laugh about it sometimes too. You know,

163
00:08:03,240 --> 00:08:05,640
Speaker 1: you look at your mistakes, and that's where you really

164
00:08:05,640 --> 00:08:08,600
Speaker 1: want to focus on, is your mistakes, not your achievements,

165
00:08:08,600 --> 00:08:10,560
Speaker 1: but what you did wrong, because that's where you're going

166
00:08:10,640 --> 00:08:13,040
Speaker 1: to learn your biggest lessons. What do you too? Off

167
00:08:13,040 --> 00:08:15,440
Speaker 1: the field? You mentioned you and Ronnie just laughed about

168
00:08:15,480 --> 00:08:18,480
Speaker 1: stuff and whatever, learned lessons, YouTube, kind of hang out

169
00:08:18,520 --> 00:08:20,280
Speaker 1: off the field a lot and what are some of

170
00:08:20,280 --> 00:08:22,800
Speaker 1: those things. Oh yeah, we live right across the street

171
00:08:23,320 --> 00:08:26,440
Speaker 1: each other. But you know, we'll we'll laugh about, like

172
00:08:26,840 --> 00:08:29,000
Speaker 1: you know, what goes on in the game, where if

173
00:08:29,040 --> 00:08:31,000
Speaker 1: one of us didn't make a call but we picked

174
00:08:31,040 --> 00:08:34,319
Speaker 1: it up, or say we made the call it wasn't right,

175
00:08:34,360 --> 00:08:36,640
Speaker 1: but somehow it ended up working out. You know, you

176
00:08:36,720 --> 00:08:38,680
Speaker 1: laugh at stuff like that, but you know, at the

177
00:08:38,720 --> 00:08:40,760
Speaker 1: same time you're laughing at it, but then you realize,

178
00:08:41,320 --> 00:08:43,120
Speaker 1: this is how we're growing together. You know, that's how

179
00:08:43,120 --> 00:08:45,920
Speaker 1: we're building that chemistry. And you know that's all across

180
00:08:45,960 --> 00:08:48,000
Speaker 1: the line. And you know, I had those moments with

181
00:08:48,760 --> 00:08:51,120
Speaker 1: uh Urschel last year when I was a tackle, had

182
00:08:51,160 --> 00:08:53,560
Speaker 1: him with Jeremy when I was at guard, and then

183
00:08:53,600 --> 00:08:55,719
Speaker 1: practicing you know on the right side. You get them

184
00:08:55,720 --> 00:08:58,600
Speaker 1: with Marshall, you get them with that Jensen, you get

185
00:08:58,600 --> 00:09:01,600
Speaker 1: it with Rick. I mean, that's that cohesiveness, that's the

186
00:09:01,640 --> 00:09:03,440
Speaker 1: team within the team that you get on the old

187
00:09:03,440 --> 00:09:06,760
Speaker 1: line that not all of the position groups and football

188
00:09:06,760 --> 00:09:09,560
Speaker 1: really gets to experience. Is the benefit of living close

189
00:09:09,559 --> 00:09:14,760
Speaker 1: to Ronnie that you always have a dog walkers yeah,

190
00:09:14,760 --> 00:09:16,640
Speaker 1: we're both dog guys. But you know, when I'm out

191
00:09:16,679 --> 00:09:19,720
Speaker 1: of town, he's out of town. So the benefits actually

192
00:09:19,720 --> 00:09:22,720
Speaker 1: having my older sister, she lives four doors down from me,

193
00:09:22,800 --> 00:09:26,600
Speaker 1: and her and her husband actually uh end up watching

194
00:09:26,600 --> 00:09:28,160
Speaker 1: my two dogs when I go out of town for

195
00:09:28,200 --> 00:09:30,920
Speaker 1: away games and whatnot. And she actually just adopted her

196
00:09:30,920 --> 00:09:36,160
Speaker 1: own little puppy from Prodick Runway. I thought you adopted that, ye, yeah,

197
00:09:36,640 --> 00:09:41,920
Speaker 1: posted out as a new uncle uncle. So yeah, the

198
00:09:41,960 --> 00:09:46,040
Speaker 1: little one is Jet So he's a little little puppy

199
00:09:46,080 --> 00:09:48,600
Speaker 1: with a lot of energy. But you know, it's funny

200
00:09:48,600 --> 00:09:50,880
Speaker 1: because she's used to my dogs, and my dogs are

201
00:09:51,040 --> 00:09:53,240
Speaker 1: five years and four years old, and you know, they're

202
00:09:53,080 --> 00:09:56,000
Speaker 1: well trained, and she's calling me and what are we

203
00:09:56,080 --> 00:09:57,920
Speaker 1: do when they probably wants to do this or he's

204
00:09:57,960 --> 00:10:00,360
Speaker 1: biting on this. I was like, probably just like a babies,

205
00:10:00,360 --> 00:10:03,080
Speaker 1: we'll put everything in the out figure out what it is.

206
00:10:05,120 --> 00:10:08,520
Speaker 1: She's learning along the way. But no, it's great having uh,

207
00:10:08,760 --> 00:10:11,080
Speaker 1: you know, my sister there, and it's great having ran

208
00:10:11,200 --> 00:10:12,920
Speaker 1: these dogs there because you know, if we want to

209
00:10:12,920 --> 00:10:14,880
Speaker 1: burn the energy for our dogs that day, we just

210
00:10:14,920 --> 00:10:16,960
Speaker 1: get them together and run around and let them play

211
00:10:16,960 --> 00:10:18,880
Speaker 1: and burn it out. It's like a little puppy playground

212
00:10:18,960 --> 00:10:22,560
Speaker 1: right there. That's awesome. I feel like that one of

213
00:10:22,600 --> 00:10:24,920
Speaker 1: your happiest days last year was when you're it was

214
00:10:25,000 --> 00:10:27,760
Speaker 1: your mom brought your dogs here. Oh yeah, grem across

215
00:10:27,800 --> 00:10:30,200
Speaker 1: the country to bring him to Baltimore. Yeah. I was

216
00:10:30,200 --> 00:10:34,120
Speaker 1: actually scared to fly them, um beneath the plane because

217
00:10:34,400 --> 00:10:36,520
Speaker 1: I was reading up on it. You know, it causes

218
00:10:36,520 --> 00:10:39,160
Speaker 1: a lot of stress and dogs, and you know, sometimes

219
00:10:39,160 --> 00:10:41,160
Speaker 1: the dogs and I have hard tax or not react

220
00:10:41,200 --> 00:10:44,760
Speaker 1: well toon the medicine, and so I feel worried. So

221
00:10:44,800 --> 00:10:47,120
Speaker 1: I told my mom, look, I rent you the minivan,

222
00:10:47,640 --> 00:10:49,600
Speaker 1: bring the little cist around on a little road trip.

223
00:10:49,800 --> 00:10:52,079
Speaker 1: Bring my dogs out. I'd love love to have them

224
00:10:52,120 --> 00:10:54,720
Speaker 1: up here. And sure enough she did, because I remember

225
00:10:54,760 --> 00:10:58,360
Speaker 1: I wrote tripped down there to Arizona from Nebraska, and

226
00:10:58,400 --> 00:11:00,840
Speaker 1: I don't want to have to make the drive across country.

227
00:11:01,040 --> 00:11:04,680
Speaker 1: So Mom pulled out a huge favor there, and I'm

228
00:11:04,800 --> 00:11:07,160
Speaker 1: very thankful for it. Nice. I want to talk a

229
00:11:07,200 --> 00:11:09,800
Speaker 1: little bit more about last season, and you know, it

230
00:11:09,880 --> 00:11:11,880
Speaker 1: was a great season, but unfortunately had a kind of

231
00:11:11,880 --> 00:11:15,360
Speaker 1: a tough ending with the injury. You know. The another

232
00:11:15,400 --> 00:11:17,440
Speaker 1: bad part of that injury, the ankle injury was that

233
00:11:17,480 --> 00:11:21,120
Speaker 1: it happened on a touchdown pass, right, So Jerry throws

234
00:11:21,160 --> 00:11:23,000
Speaker 1: the ball to Darren Wall and Darren sitting there dancing

235

237
00:11:30,080 --> 00:11:35,480
Speaker 1: the ground. You know, It's just a part of game

238
00:11:35,520 --> 00:11:37,480
Speaker 1: of football. You know, I'm sitting there getting cart off

239
00:11:37,480 --> 00:11:38,839
Speaker 1: and how do you feel? And I was like, well,

240

Speaker 1: we just scored and I think it's actually to go up. Yeah, yeah,

241
00:11:43,520 --> 00:11:45,360
Speaker 1: I stick the lead. And you know, I'm sitting in

Speaker 1: a nice little drive. And you know, just part of

245
00:11:52,800 --> 00:11:55,520
Speaker 1: the football game. And you know, everybody's so focused on

246
00:11:55,640 --> 00:11:58,319
Speaker 1: just doing their own job that you know sometimes kind

247
00:11:58,320 --> 00:12:00,320
Speaker 1: of get caught up in it. You and you had

248
00:12:00,320 --> 00:12:01,559
Speaker 1: to give those guys a hard time. You're like, you

249
00:12:01,600 --> 00:12:04,120
Speaker 1: guys are celebrating and dancing. Man, you can challenge while

Speaker 1: I'm writhing around in the ground and paint you had

251
00:12:06,080 --> 00:12:08,640
Speaker 1: a good heart time. Oh no, I'm rookie, so I

252
00:12:08,720 --> 00:12:12,679
Speaker 1: come my mouth shut. What happened on that injury? Though?

253
00:12:12,679 --> 00:12:14,520
Speaker 1: Because when I saw that from the press box, I

254
00:12:14,600 --> 00:12:18,480
Speaker 1: was like, oh no, it looks bad. Yeah. What happened

255
00:12:18,559 --> 00:12:20,840
Speaker 1: was I got away with one. Um. You know, I

256
00:12:20,840 --> 00:12:23,679
Speaker 1: didn't need surgery, which is great, and uh, you know

257
00:12:23,720 --> 00:12:25,840
Speaker 1: i got a full recovery out of it, and I'm

258
00:12:25,880 --> 00:12:28,720
Speaker 1: ready to rock and roll now. Nice. Nice, that's awesome.

259
00:12:29,080 --> 00:12:34,319
Speaker 1: It doesn't help when you have Danny Shelton rolling on you. Yeah. Fun.

260
00:12:35,080 --> 00:12:37,400
Speaker 1: So what are your goals for this season? Would you say, like,

261
00:12:37,840 --> 00:12:42,200
Speaker 1: how many pancake blocks are you? Kind of pancake blocks? Now,

262
00:12:42,200 --> 00:12:45,520
Speaker 1: I'm worried about learning the new playboat right now, this

263
00:12:45,600 --> 00:12:47,920
Speaker 1: new scheme, and you know, trying to earn the job,

264
00:12:48,000 --> 00:12:51,360
Speaker 1: making the three man roster um. That's where my mindset

265
00:12:51,440 --> 00:12:54,559
Speaker 1: is right now. And you know, just stacking each day

266
00:12:54,559 --> 00:12:56,520
Speaker 1: on top of each other, learning from my mistakes from

267
00:12:56,559 --> 00:12:58,880
Speaker 1: the day before and you know, hopefully their minimal, and

268
00:12:59,240 --> 00:13:02,920
Speaker 1: growing as pro athlete, as an offensive lineman. Do you

269
00:13:03,000 --> 00:13:06,000
Speaker 1: love this idea of a kind of a downhill power

270
00:13:06,080 --> 00:13:08,160
Speaker 1: running scene where you can just I mean, especially as

271
00:13:08,160 --> 00:13:10,320
Speaker 1: a big guy like yourself. You're you're a big boy

272
00:13:10,360 --> 00:13:12,160
Speaker 1: in there and you can handle you can handle your

273
00:13:12,160 --> 00:13:14,720
Speaker 1: own Do you love the idea of just basically playing

274
00:13:14,720 --> 00:13:18,000
Speaker 1: that kind of power offense. Well, that's every offensive linements dream.

275
00:13:18,040 --> 00:13:20,000
Speaker 1: You know, when you get to go forward and staid backwards,

276
00:13:20,160 --> 00:13:23,080
Speaker 1: it's always it's always a good game. But you know

277
00:13:23,280 --> 00:13:25,280
Speaker 1: it's going to really set us up. You know when

278
00:13:25,320 --> 00:13:28,000
Speaker 1: we start running the ball heavy, you know, bring that

279
00:13:28,160 --> 00:13:31,840
Speaker 1: safety down, Um, get one high. Look, you know, start

280
00:13:31,880 --> 00:13:34,079
Speaker 1: throwing the ball deep. It's going to help out a

281
00:13:34,160 --> 00:13:36,000
Speaker 1: wide Shiver is going to help out Joe is going

282
00:13:36,040 --> 00:13:39,040
Speaker 1: to help out our running backs. So I'm really excited

283
00:13:39,040 --> 00:13:41,319
Speaker 1: for what the season is going to bring. And uh,

284
00:13:41,840 --> 00:13:44,120
Speaker 1: you know, we got coach Roman in, I got Coach

285
00:13:44,200 --> 00:13:46,200
Speaker 1: d that just came in, and you know, as an

286
00:13:46,200 --> 00:13:48,559
Speaker 1: old line, we're real fired up and ready to roll.

287
00:13:48,920 --> 00:13:51,160
Speaker 1: You know, one one play that I remember from last

288
00:13:51,200 --> 00:13:53,360
Speaker 1: year about you, it was it wasn't in the game,

289
00:13:53,400 --> 00:13:55,560
Speaker 1: it was in practice, right, and I think it was

290
00:13:55,600 --> 00:13:59,480
Speaker 1: your your first practice fight in the NFL with Albert

291
00:13:59,679 --> 00:14:01,839
Speaker 1: m One. I believe you remember this one. It was

292
00:14:01,840 --> 00:14:07,839
Speaker 1: a Saturday practice was because I what I remember from

293
00:14:07,880 --> 00:14:11,120
Speaker 1: that is you going to Albert and then like six

294
00:14:11,240 --> 00:14:14,120
Speaker 1: defensive guys hanging off you, right, and then there's some

295
00:14:14,160 --> 00:14:16,400
Speaker 1: other offensive guys trying to peel you off them too,

296
00:14:16,520 --> 00:14:20,080
Speaker 1: and I'm like, Alex is still going forward, Like I was, like,

297
00:14:21,240 --> 00:14:26,600
Speaker 1: this guy is an animal. No, you know you gotta

298
00:14:26,640 --> 00:14:28,560
Speaker 1: have some of that. Yeah, you can have some dog

299
00:14:28,600 --> 00:14:31,240
Speaker 1: in yet football. Football can be a violent game, but

300
00:14:32,240 --> 00:14:34,840
Speaker 1: you know it's fun to get out there and you know,

301
00:14:34,960 --> 00:14:37,160
Speaker 1: go toe to toe someone and you know, said, put

302
00:14:37,200 --> 00:14:39,000
Speaker 1: your hand in dirt and let's line up and let's

303
00:14:39,000 --> 00:14:42,720
Speaker 1: go right. And you know, I grew up watching it.

304
00:14:42,880 --> 00:14:46,200
Speaker 1: You know, watch great scope against my pops, like Howie Long.

305
00:14:46,600 --> 00:14:48,800
Speaker 1: I saw a dad block for guys like bow Jacks

306
00:14:48,800 --> 00:14:51,480
Speaker 1: and Marcus Allen. You see those guys and see how

307
00:14:51,520 --> 00:14:53,600
Speaker 1: tough they were and they brought it every day. And

308
00:14:53,760 --> 00:14:55,640
Speaker 1: you know they're still talked about to this thing. And

309
00:14:55,760 --> 00:14:58,280
Speaker 1: you see Howie on TV. You know, you see the

310
00:14:58,320 --> 00:15:02,000
Speaker 1: bow Knows everywhere, and you know she's not mentality growing up,

311
00:15:02,080 --> 00:15:04,120
Speaker 1: you know, it's just something that you want to instill

312
00:15:04,160 --> 00:15:06,240
Speaker 1: in your own game. I'm curious when you were growing

313
00:15:06,360 --> 00:15:08,840
Speaker 1: up to the fact that he was playing in the

314
00:15:08,920 --> 00:15:10,920
Speaker 1: NFL and he had a successful career, did that make

315
00:15:10,960 --> 00:15:13,600
Speaker 1: you want to play the game more or did did

316
00:15:13,640 --> 00:15:15,320
Speaker 1: he try to encourage you to play or did he

317
00:15:15,360 --> 00:15:17,320
Speaker 1: try to deter you the player. You think I can

318
00:15:17,360 --> 00:15:19,240
Speaker 1: never do what he did, so I don't even want

319
00:15:19,240 --> 00:15:22,200
Speaker 1: to try. I don't know, you know, being able to

320
00:15:22,240 --> 00:15:24,840
Speaker 1: share that experience with my pops is just I can't

321
00:15:24,840 --> 00:15:27,560
Speaker 1: put it into words. You know, it's it's amazing and

322
00:15:27,760 --> 00:15:30,440
Speaker 1: uh funny story. He actually wouldn't let me play football

323
00:15:30,480 --> 00:15:33,520
Speaker 1: until I was thirteen because he wanted to grow into

324
00:15:33,560 --> 00:15:37,800
Speaker 1: my body. But think you accomplished that. Yeah, I kind

325
00:15:37,800 --> 00:15:39,720
Speaker 1: of hit a little late gross spurt, but you know

326
00:15:40,280 --> 00:15:42,600
Speaker 1: I was aunty, you know, trying to get to the

327
00:15:43,160 --> 00:15:45,320
Speaker 1: on the football field. And you know, before I was

328
00:15:45,360 --> 00:15:48,000
Speaker 1: third team. Mom had me in the dance studio. So

329
00:15:48,440 --> 00:15:51,240
Speaker 1: she takes pride in my full work and dad takes

330
00:15:51,240 --> 00:15:53,880
Speaker 1: pride in mentality. But uh, you know, it was a

331
00:15:53,880 --> 00:15:56,520
Speaker 1: great mesh between both my parents, and I'm thankful for

332
00:15:56,560 --> 00:15:59,520
Speaker 1: both of them. So what's your best dance? Oh? Man?

333
00:16:01,120 --> 00:16:04,280
Speaker 1: Is it like ballroom? I'm pretty good. I'm pretty good

334
00:16:04,280 --> 00:16:07,440
Speaker 1: at ball room. I don't want to brag, but I'm

335
00:16:07,440 --> 00:16:11,120
Speaker 1: pretty good on the dance. Later, no matter what, you're

336
00:16:11,160 --> 00:16:15,520
Speaker 1: that kind of the wedding that I hate. You're like

337
00:16:15,560 --> 00:16:17,280
Speaker 1: that freaking guy and all the way when we're like,

338
00:16:17,360 --> 00:16:20,720
Speaker 1: oh my god, look at him. So it's such a

339
00:16:20,720 --> 00:16:23,480
Speaker 1: great dance. He just owns the Florida. That's not me.

340
00:16:24,000 --> 00:16:26,160
Speaker 1: Yeah right now, it's not the woman going oh my god,

341
00:16:26,280 --> 00:16:28,200
Speaker 1: it's it's the buddies going, oh my god, here we

342
00:16:28,240 --> 00:16:32,440
Speaker 1: go again. Well, there's already already been wondering when I

343
00:16:32,520 --> 00:16:34,560
Speaker 1: dancing with the stars. Kobe Jones did it after the

344
00:16:34,600 --> 00:16:37,280
Speaker 1: Super Bowl. So you know what, when the Super Bowl

345
00:16:37,320 --> 00:16:39,880
Speaker 1: this year, maybe that's your ticket to dance at the Stars.

346
00:16:39,960 --> 00:16:41,480
Speaker 1: Would you ever do dancing with the Stars if they

347
00:16:41,520 --> 00:16:45,280
Speaker 1: can't call on, I'm probably not. I've done enough dancing

348
00:16:45,320 --> 00:16:47,760
Speaker 1: in my life on stage, you know. I keep it,

349
00:16:48,120 --> 00:16:50,840
Speaker 1: keep it to the household with the family and family

350
00:16:50,920 --> 00:16:53,720
Speaker 1: events and whatnot. Did you dance like competitively? Like were

351
00:16:53,760 --> 00:16:56,479
Speaker 1: you in competition? Oh no, I was definitely not in competition.

352
00:16:57,080 --> 00:16:58,880
Speaker 1: All right, So you just go to like your mom's

353
00:16:58,920 --> 00:17:01,960
Speaker 1: class and stuff. Yeah? Nice, right, nice? I like that.

354
00:17:02,400 --> 00:17:07,200
Speaker 1: So your your other passion is woodworking. We've never really

355
00:17:07,240 --> 00:17:11,280
Speaker 1: talked extensively about what kind of projects are you working on? Now?

356
00:17:11,480 --> 00:17:14,200
Speaker 1: What's some of your best pieces? So I just finished,

357
00:17:14,560 --> 00:17:18,719
Speaker 1: um uh my patio furniture. It was like a two

358
00:17:18,840 --> 00:17:23,000
Speaker 1: table set with a table connecting it or two chairs

359
00:17:23,000 --> 00:17:27,120
Speaker 1: set with a table connecting it. And uh just finished

360
00:17:27,359 --> 00:17:33,000
Speaker 1: after that, built that giant planner boxes about four high

361
00:17:33,040 --> 00:17:36,320
Speaker 1: and about ten ft long. So going to go in

362
00:17:36,359 --> 00:17:38,600
Speaker 1: there and probably playing some bamboo and let it grow

363
00:17:38,680 --> 00:17:40,399
Speaker 1: and see how I can get it going. And then

364
00:17:41,080 --> 00:17:43,280
Speaker 1: you know, I got another little section almobile for the

365
00:17:43,600 --> 00:17:46,600
Speaker 1: one of my walls on my patio set, and it's

366
00:17:46,640 --> 00:17:49,200
Speaker 1: gonna be a fun little project for me this offseason.

367
00:17:49,359 --> 00:17:50,800
Speaker 1: So it's like big stuff that you do, You're not

368
00:17:50,960 --> 00:17:53,280
Speaker 1: like like kind of chisel and stuff. Oh no, I've done.

369
00:17:53,320 --> 00:17:55,320
Speaker 1: I've done little stuff. You know. I've done wood carving

370
00:17:55,400 --> 00:17:58,000
Speaker 1: at Nebraska. You know, I did a print class and

371
00:17:58,640 --> 00:18:00,600
Speaker 1: you know you had to layer your would out, so

372
00:18:00,760 --> 00:18:03,200
Speaker 1: you would put one color down and then you would

373
00:18:03,240 --> 00:18:06,359
Speaker 1: carve out another section of the wood, lay down your

374
00:18:06,400 --> 00:18:08,960
Speaker 1: other color be ink, carve it down and you're doing

375
00:18:09,000 --> 00:18:12,600
Speaker 1: impressions over um whatever stock you have that you're printing on.

376
00:18:12,800 --> 00:18:15,159
Speaker 1: And you know we had to do up to ten layers.

377
00:18:15,240 --> 00:18:18,639
Speaker 1: So yeah, it was a fun, fun little project. You know,

378
00:18:19,600 --> 00:18:22,520
Speaker 1: this is part of life experiences. You know, grandfather on

379
00:18:22,600 --> 00:18:25,280
Speaker 1: both sides of my family taught me, you know about

380
00:18:25,640 --> 00:18:27,640
Speaker 1: my mom and the one on my mother's side taught

381
00:18:27,680 --> 00:18:30,560
Speaker 1: me about construction. You know, he owned a construction company

382
00:18:30,600 --> 00:18:34,080
Speaker 1: growing up. And then grandfather on my father's side was

383
00:18:34,160 --> 00:18:37,320
Speaker 1: a carpenter. Taught me a lot about cabin try you know,

384
00:18:37,520 --> 00:18:39,920
Speaker 1: doing the wheel, spinning the wheel, and you know, it

385
00:18:40,040 --> 00:18:42,120
Speaker 1: was a fun time. That's really cool. So the real

386
00:18:42,200 --> 00:18:44,200
Speaker 1: question here is will you give me a discount on

387
00:18:44,400 --> 00:18:48,520
Speaker 1: some handmade furniture. It depends on what it is. I

388
00:18:48,560 --> 00:18:51,639
Speaker 1: don't want to build no level foot so far. I

389
00:18:51,760 --> 00:18:53,800
Speaker 1: got an idea for you. I saw this during the

390
00:18:53,880 --> 00:18:55,879
Speaker 1: last trip out of Norway. Right, So a bunch of

391
00:18:55,920 --> 00:18:58,919
Speaker 1: people out there have like benches right, outdoor benches. Are

392
00:18:58,960 --> 00:19:01,560
Speaker 1: you talking about the one that four up into the table. No,

393
00:19:02,200 --> 00:19:04,440
Speaker 1: this outdoor bench right, and then in the middle of

394
00:19:04,520 --> 00:19:06,760
Speaker 1: it you pull open like a trap door and it's

395
00:19:06,800 --> 00:19:09,159
Speaker 1: got like a fridge in there for your beer. Right,

396
00:19:09,240 --> 00:19:11,119
Speaker 1: Pretty cool? Yeah, you put your ice in there. You're

397
00:19:11,160 --> 00:19:12,320
Speaker 1: just sitting on top of it. You're like, oh, I

398
00:19:12,400 --> 00:19:16,000
Speaker 1: need a beer, reach down, crack one open. It's not bad,

399
00:19:16,119 --> 00:19:17,720
Speaker 1: it's not bad. It's one of your better ideas. You

400
00:19:17,800 --> 00:19:19,080
Speaker 1: have a lot of bad ideas, but this is one

401
00:19:19,119 --> 00:19:21,800
Speaker 1: of the better ones that I will But I'm not

402
00:19:22,040 --> 00:19:30,760
Speaker 1: a huge beer drinker. This interviews especially, that's a good training.

403
00:19:31,520 --> 00:19:33,680
Speaker 1: Do you have a big shop? I mean, the stuff

404
00:19:33,680 --> 00:19:34,960
Speaker 1: you're doing isn't small. Do you have a big shop

405
00:19:35,000 --> 00:19:37,280
Speaker 1: at the house? I got two car garage and I

406
00:19:37,440 --> 00:19:40,240
Speaker 1: used half of the garage from my shop. So I

407
00:19:40,359 --> 00:19:43,440
Speaker 1: got a table saw, minor song, a bunch of circular saws.

408
00:19:43,960 --> 00:19:45,600
Speaker 1: You know, a guy got it all pretty much, a

409
00:19:45,640 --> 00:19:49,040
Speaker 1: bunch of sanders. You know, it's a fun time in there.

410
00:19:49,160 --> 00:19:51,280
Speaker 1: Do you do you do that to relax during the season,

411
00:19:51,320 --> 00:19:53,879
Speaker 1: even just kind of decompressed. Oh yeah, absolutely, you know

412
00:19:53,920 --> 00:19:56,199
Speaker 1: you're getting the shop. I bring my dogs out, I'm

413
00:19:56,280 --> 00:19:59,600
Speaker 1: laying the garage. You know. I do a little project, um,

414
00:20:00,040 --> 00:20:01,879
Speaker 1: you know, like a small one that just did. Was

415
00:20:02,359 --> 00:20:05,040
Speaker 1: it was like a little cup holder for the edge

416
00:20:05,040 --> 00:20:08,080
Speaker 1: of my sofa and then it was like basically it

417
00:20:08,200 --> 00:20:10,119
Speaker 1: was an end shape and you just rested on your

418
00:20:10,200 --> 00:20:13,360
Speaker 1: arm rest a little cup holder. Thanks the pintures, shoutout

419
00:20:13,400 --> 00:20:18,399
Speaker 1: Pinterest and uh. You know a little stuff like that,

420
00:20:18,560 --> 00:20:20,720
Speaker 1: you know, kind of just takes your mind away from football,

421
00:20:20,800 --> 00:20:23,120
Speaker 1: because you know, you can overwhelm yourself if you dive

422
00:20:23,240 --> 00:20:25,479
Speaker 1: too much into it. You know, you gotta find your

423
00:20:25,520 --> 00:20:29,200
Speaker 1: own hobbies, O life outside of it and just get

424
00:20:29,480 --> 00:20:31,800
Speaker 1: get some time away and enjoy it. Most of the

425
00:20:31,800 --> 00:20:33,840
Speaker 1: projects that once that you just want stuff around the

426
00:20:33,840 --> 00:20:35,960
Speaker 1: house like a cup holder. You're talking about our family

427
00:20:36,000 --> 00:20:37,520
Speaker 1: and friends at you up saying like, hey, could you

428
00:20:37,560 --> 00:20:39,840
Speaker 1: build this for me? Yeah, most of the stuff from me.

429
00:20:39,960 --> 00:20:42,240
Speaker 1: But my sister she's trying to take advantage and she's

430
00:20:42,280 --> 00:20:46,160
Speaker 1: just so close. That's the downside. She's trying to take

431
00:20:46,160 --> 00:20:48,720
Speaker 1: advantage of it. But now most of it's just for

432
00:20:48,840 --> 00:20:51,720
Speaker 1: me and you know my own home well, Alex. So

433

Speaker 1: I really enjoy that. And like I said, I'm hoping

437
00:21:07,600 --> 00:21:09,640
Speaker 1: maybe he gives me a little discount if I'm trying

438
00:21:09,640 --> 00:21:11,400
Speaker 1: to give the furniture I'm trying to get that betch.

439
00:21:11,560 --> 00:21:14,160
Speaker 1: That's a good idea. Like I said, you're better on discount.

440
00:21:14,200 --> 00:21:15,639
Speaker 1: I just need some of you make that bench, but

441
00:21:15,760 --> 00:21:18,040
Speaker 1: he's going to charge your money for it. Yeah, once

442
00:21:18,080 --> 00:21:20,080
Speaker 1: I get my und pennies from you, then I'll do

443
00:21:20,200 --> 00:21:24,320

455
00:21:52,640 --> 00:21:54,359
Speaker 1: What position do you think he's going to end up at?

456

Speaker 1: I think he will play on the interior, left card

457
00:21:58,080 --> 00:22:00,480
Speaker 1: or center. So you can't even pick one up. You're

458
00:22:00,520 --> 00:22:04,320
Speaker 1: dodging my question. I think he will probably be the

459
00:22:04,440 --> 00:22:08,919
Speaker 1: left card probably I'm going to pay him in the center. Well,

460
00:22:08,960 --> 00:22:10,399
Speaker 1: first of all, I would just like to say that

461
00:22:10,880 --> 00:22:13,000
Speaker 1: a month ago, I was like, what about Alex Sosa center?

462
00:22:13,000 --> 00:22:14,560
Speaker 1: I think that's a shot, and you were like, oh,

463
00:22:14,560 --> 00:22:16,159
Speaker 1: because there was a center, no way, no way that

464
00:22:16,200 --> 00:22:19,960
Speaker 1: could ever happen. I was like, I think And so

465
00:22:20,280 --> 00:22:23,080
Speaker 1: now you're starting to come around to the idea that

466
00:22:23,119 --> 00:22:25,320
Speaker 1: it planted in your head a month. Just like his dad. Man,

467
00:22:25,480 --> 00:22:28,040
Speaker 1: it's a great story planning center. Just like it pops

468
00:22:28,119 --> 00:22:30,479
Speaker 1: in in Nebraska, was an All American Nebraska and went

469
00:22:30,520 --> 00:22:32,920
Speaker 1: onto the NFL, had a great career, just like I

470
00:22:33,000 --> 00:22:34,159
Speaker 1: think you could do it. Don't get me wrong, I

471
00:22:34,200 --> 00:22:36,880
Speaker 1: think you could do it. I just I think, as

472
00:22:36,960 --> 00:22:39,960
Speaker 1: it looks right now, I still say left card, here's

473
00:22:39,960 --> 00:22:41,520
Speaker 1: what I think. Okay, because everbody wants to know how

474
00:22:41,520 --> 00:22:43,480
Speaker 1: the offense line is going to shake out. Alex Louis

475
00:22:43,560 --> 00:22:45,399
Speaker 1: is a big boy a center, Ronnie Stanley. On the

476
00:22:45,480 --> 00:22:48,240
Speaker 1: other side, you've got Nico Sierra Goosa in it. Left guard.

477
00:22:48,320 --> 00:22:50,320
Speaker 1: The rookie, I think he's gonna have a shot to compete.

478
00:22:50,320 --> 00:22:52,359
Speaker 1: You want to be physical, big upfront. That's what the

479
00:22:52,440 --> 00:22:55,560
Speaker 1: Raisins talked about. That's your big boy line. Ronnie Stanley,

480
00:22:55,680 --> 00:22:58,119
Speaker 1: Nico Sirac Goosa. If he's ready. It's a rookie, he's

481
00:22:58,160 --> 00:23:01,399
Speaker 1: gotta be ready. He's gotta for himself. Exluicit center, right

482
00:23:01,480 --> 00:23:04,560
Speaker 1: guard Marshalleana. Obviously you know what you're getting there right tackle.

483
00:23:04,680 --> 00:23:07,000
Speaker 1: Right now, it looks like name by Wesley and hearst

484
00:23:07,160 --> 00:23:08,800
Speaker 1: are gonna have a pretty good battle for that right

485
00:23:08,840 --> 00:23:11,680
Speaker 1: tackle spot. Uh, you know, and they could always add

486
00:23:11,720 --> 00:23:14,240
Speaker 1: a veteran somewhere along that line that will obviously change things.

487
00:23:14,320 --> 00:23:17,240
Speaker 1: But as it stands now, I like I like that line. Yeah,

488
00:23:17,240 --> 00:23:18,720
Speaker 1: I think they can get after a little bit. Yeah,

489
00:23:18,840 --> 00:23:22,480
Speaker 1: it's a big, big, downhill attacking kind of offensive line exactly.

490
00:23:22,720 --> 00:23:24,800
Speaker 1: So anyway, I had to throw in a little football talk.

491
00:23:25,200 --> 00:23:27,440
Speaker 1: I like that. But thank you for listening, and we

492
00:23:27,480 --> 00:23:30,320

493
00:23:30,359 --> 00:23:33,399
Speaker 1: special guests. We haven't locked them down exactly. We think

494
00:23:33,440 --> 00:23:34,680
Speaker 1: we know who's gonna be, but I don't want to

495
00:23:34,680 --> 00:23:35,920
Speaker 1: say it, and then we don't get it's gonna be
