1
00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:03,160
Speaker 1: Just had a question for you about how you would

2
00:00:03,200 --> 00:00:06,320
Speaker 1: as you set back and assess your season last year,

3
00:00:06,360 --> 00:00:09,000
Speaker 1: you rookie year, how did you feel you did in

4
00:00:09,119 --> 00:00:12,160
Speaker 1: terms of, you know, managing the expectations you know, as

5
00:00:12,200 --> 00:00:14,560
Speaker 1: a high draft pick and whatnot. And how much do

6
00:00:14,600 --> 00:00:17,560
Speaker 1: you think you've grown already just from last year. I

7
00:00:17,600 --> 00:00:19,799
Speaker 1: think last year I learned a lot being a rookie,

8
00:00:19,960 --> 00:00:22,680
Speaker 1: UM planet NFL for the first time. I'm a lot

9
00:00:22,720 --> 00:00:25,959
Speaker 1: of experiences, UM that I think we'll help my game,

10
00:00:26,200 --> 00:00:28,880
Speaker 1: UM as a progression, like through the season, I definitely

11
00:00:28,880 --> 00:00:31,240
Speaker 1: think you know, got better as the season went along,

12
00:00:31,600 --> 00:00:34,840
Speaker 1: UM and happy for the things that I learned. I'm

13
00:00:34,840 --> 00:00:36,800
Speaker 1: just as a follow up, did you did you follow

14
00:00:36,840 --> 00:00:39,279
Speaker 1: any of your colleagues, you know, your your college colleagues

15
00:00:39,360 --> 00:00:41,800
Speaker 1: in terms of how they did and how they are

16
00:00:41,800 --> 00:00:43,400
Speaker 1: seasons when I'm sure you know most of not all

17
00:00:43,479 --> 00:00:45,400
Speaker 1: of the top guys that went went high in the

18
00:00:45,400 --> 00:00:49,800
Speaker 1: first round, and uh, you know we're talking to Joe

19
00:00:49,880 --> 00:00:51,559
Speaker 1: Judge a little bitarlier today. He said, part of the

20
00:00:51,560 --> 00:00:54,400
Speaker 1: growth process for young guys like yourself who are drafted

21
00:00:54,400 --> 00:00:57,800
Speaker 1: that high are managing the outside expectations, you know, which

22
00:00:57,840 --> 00:01:00,000
Speaker 1: obviously there are so many of when you drafted that high.

23
00:01:00,280 --> 00:01:01,880
Speaker 1: How did you feel like you did with that? Yeah?

24
00:01:01,920 --> 00:01:04,319
Speaker 1: Definitely you have to run your own race. Uh, you

25
00:01:04,360 --> 00:01:07,240
Speaker 1: can't really focus on what everybody else is doing. Um.

26
00:01:07,240 --> 00:01:09,960
Speaker 1: That takes away from you know, dominating your process and

27
00:01:10,000 --> 00:01:11,240
Speaker 1: figuring out what you have to do to be a

28
00:01:11,280 --> 00:01:17,520
Speaker 1: better player than Tom Canavan. Hey, Andrew, when you heard

29
00:01:17,600 --> 00:01:20,399
Speaker 1: Nate was coming back this year, did you sit there

30
00:01:20,440 --> 00:01:22,759
Speaker 1: and say you have to going toeach O and say,

31
00:01:22,800 --> 00:01:25,039
Speaker 1: am I still the starting left tackle? How did you

32
00:01:25,080 --> 00:01:28,240
Speaker 1: approach that? No, that was never a question. Um. I

33
00:01:28,319 --> 00:01:30,920
Speaker 1: was actually excited to have Nate back. Um. I had

34
00:01:30,920 --> 00:01:34,440
Speaker 1: talked to him a little bit um season, but obviously

35
00:01:34,440 --> 00:01:36,760
Speaker 1: he couldn't play. Um, so actually getting me him at

36
00:01:36,800 --> 00:01:39,039
Speaker 1: O T A s really good guy and he looks out,

37
00:01:39,120 --> 00:01:40,840
Speaker 1: you know for the young guy. So I think he's

38
00:01:40,840 --> 00:01:43,680
Speaker 1: an asset to office a line. Andrew, what what's it? Uh?

39
00:01:43,800 --> 00:01:46,000
Speaker 1: What's it been like blocking as ease again? I'm sure

40
00:01:46,040 --> 00:01:48,360
Speaker 1: that felt like your back practice at Georgia. Right. Yeah,

41
00:01:48,360 --> 00:01:50,920
Speaker 1: I feel like Georgia again. Uh, going out every day.

42
00:01:51,000 --> 00:01:53,440
Speaker 1: I'm excited to have him here. Um, definitely, you don't

43
00:01:53,440 --> 00:01:55,600
Speaker 1: want to work and get better with him, you know,

44
00:01:55,680 --> 00:01:58,720
Speaker 1: next to me, which is there anything you went into

45
00:01:58,720 --> 00:02:00,559
Speaker 1: this top season with him particular of that you decaid

46
00:02:00,680 --> 00:02:02,120
Speaker 1: you thought, I really need to get better at this,

47
00:02:02,240 --> 00:02:04,560
Speaker 1: Like when you went back and watch your rookie filmacers

48
00:02:04,640 --> 00:02:06,520
Speaker 1: or something. I was like bothering your like I need

49
00:02:06,520 --> 00:02:09,640
Speaker 1: to I need to fix that. I would say, Um,

50
00:02:09,639 --> 00:02:13,000
Speaker 1: not specific to like football technique. Was getting stronger in

51
00:02:13,000 --> 00:02:14,680
Speaker 1: the weight room. That was a big big thing for

52
00:02:14,720 --> 00:02:16,640
Speaker 1: me in the offseason, and then on the field, just

53
00:02:16,680 --> 00:02:22,679
Speaker 1: working UM consistency in my sets in my hands join

54
00:02:22,760 --> 00:02:26,480
Speaker 1: your Andrew just sort of follow up on that for

55
00:02:26,520 --> 00:02:28,760
Speaker 1: a second, like where do you see the biggest gains

56
00:02:28,800 --> 00:02:31,520
Speaker 1: review between like maybe early last year and where you

57
00:02:31,520 --> 00:02:34,520
Speaker 1: are now. I would say starting off just with my

58
00:02:34,600 --> 00:02:37,359
Speaker 1: set UM, just being more confident in my set, I

59
00:02:37,400 --> 00:02:40,120
Speaker 1: understanding my landmarks where I have to get to, understanding

60
00:02:40,400 --> 00:02:43,560
Speaker 1: who I'm going against and understand that the different protections

61
00:02:43,600 --> 00:02:44,959
Speaker 1: no one where I have to be UM and not

62
00:02:45,000 --> 00:02:50,240
Speaker 1: putting myself out of position. How Like what's different about

63
00:02:50,240 --> 00:02:52,720
Speaker 1: your set now than it was maybe last year? Just

64
00:02:52,840 --> 00:02:55,280
Speaker 1: understanding the landmarks, like how many kicks I take UM

65
00:02:55,320 --> 00:02:58,720
Speaker 1: depending on whether he's a five technique or non technique. UM.

66
00:02:58,760 --> 00:03:01,400
Speaker 1: If it's a quick protection the type of set I've used. Yeah,

67
00:03:01,400 --> 00:03:11,160
Speaker 1: stuff like that. I appreciate it, man, Ore go ahead, Yeah, Andrew,

68
00:03:11,120 --> 00:03:14,280
Speaker 1: I'm just wondering, uh, if there are any veteran left

69
00:03:14,320 --> 00:03:16,920
Speaker 1: tackles that you kind of looked looked, or any tackles

70
00:03:16,919 --> 00:03:18,600
Speaker 1: at all, not just left tackles that you kind of

71
00:03:18,639 --> 00:03:21,400
Speaker 1: looked to maybe modeled your game after as you enter

72
00:03:21,480 --> 00:03:24,280
Speaker 1: the NFL, uh and and just you know taking you

73
00:03:24,400 --> 00:03:27,160
Speaker 1: kind of picking some stuff up from their techniques and

74
00:03:27,520 --> 00:03:29,560
Speaker 1: their strengths that might be similar to yours. Yeah, I'll

75
00:03:29,560 --> 00:03:33,320
Speaker 1: watch a few different guys. I like, um watching Shrant Williams, Um,

76
00:03:33,360 --> 00:03:35,720
Speaker 1: I love watching Ronnie Stanley. Those are two of the

77
00:03:35,800 --> 00:03:37,840
Speaker 1: guys that I watch a lot, and I definitely, you know,

78
00:03:37,880 --> 00:03:45,520
Speaker 1: pick up some things from them.
