13
00:00:34,440 --> 00:00:38,000
Speaker 1: it's a little bit of a different thing, but we've

14
00:00:38,040 --> 00:00:40,080
Speaker 1: gotten used to so far. But it's it's going good.

15
00:00:40,440 --> 00:00:42,920
Speaker 1: That's good to hear man. Well, I guess first things first,

16
00:00:42,960 --> 00:00:45,239
Speaker 1: this general question, how are things going for you and

17
00:00:45,320 --> 00:00:48,160
Speaker 1: your offensive line group through these first three weeks of camp.

18
00:00:49,520 --> 00:00:51,879
Speaker 1: I think everything's going good. We're just you know, we're

19
00:00:51,880 --> 00:00:54,320
Speaker 1: still doing with the new system everything, but we're all

20
00:00:54,360 --> 00:00:56,360
Speaker 1: trying to you know, we're all doing a good job

21
00:00:56,400 --> 00:00:58,360
Speaker 1: working together and getting everybody on the chain page and

22
00:00:58,400 --> 00:00:59,840
Speaker 1: you know, working with the teeth. So I think we're

23
00:00:59,840 --> 00:01:02,480
Speaker 1: doing and getting that aspect. You know, obviously everything is

24
00:01:02,560 --> 00:01:04,400
Speaker 1: kind of tightened up here with the way the offseason

25
00:01:04,440 --> 00:01:07,000
Speaker 1: win and training camps a little bit shorter, no preseason games.

26
00:01:07,200 --> 00:01:09,280
Speaker 1: So what are you when your guys doing to get

27
00:01:09,280 --> 00:01:12,160
Speaker 1: that new system down so you already when the regular

28
00:01:12,160 --> 00:01:17,280
Speaker 1: season starts and just less than three weeks now against Pittsburgh. Yeah,

29
00:01:17,360 --> 00:01:19,520
Speaker 1: you know, it's just a lot of film studying and

30
00:01:19,560 --> 00:01:22,360
Speaker 1: things like that. We don't have a very many reps

31
00:01:22,400 --> 00:01:24,479
Speaker 1: that we can on the field, lies that we could

32
00:01:24,480 --> 00:01:26,399
Speaker 1: take and you know with India and stuff like that

33
00:01:26,440 --> 00:01:29,160
Speaker 1: and be able to perfect our craft. So a lot

34
00:01:29,240 --> 00:01:31,000
Speaker 1: of us, you know, we get in there earlier before

35
00:01:31,040 --> 00:01:33,880
Speaker 1: meetings and watch the watch the film and do all

36
00:01:33,880 --> 00:01:36,240
Speaker 1: that and you know, make sure you know, we're trying

37
00:01:36,240 --> 00:01:37,960
Speaker 1: to do it right and make it look good in

38
00:01:38,000 --> 00:01:39,920
Speaker 1: that way. How do you think now that you look

39
00:01:39,959 --> 00:01:42,840
Speaker 1: back on it, did the virtual offseason and all the

40
00:01:42,840 --> 00:01:45,200
Speaker 1: work you guys did on Zoom, how did that help

41
00:01:45,240 --> 00:01:47,640
Speaker 1: you guys get ahead a little bit and have you

42
00:01:47,680 --> 00:01:50,200
Speaker 1: ready to go when you got back here for your

43
00:01:50,200 --> 00:01:54,720
Speaker 1: in person training camp. Um, mentally and you know, knowing

44
00:01:54,720 --> 00:01:57,280
Speaker 1: to play. But it did. It did a good amount

45
00:01:57,360 --> 00:01:59,880
Speaker 1: for us to being able to introduce it, introduce us

46
00:02:00,040 --> 00:02:03,440
Speaker 1: to the play but early. But you know, just technique wise,

47
00:02:03,440 --> 00:02:06,080
Speaker 1: we had a new coach, we have new technique and uh,

48
00:02:06,200 --> 00:02:08,840
Speaker 1: you know where that kind of you know sucks that

49
00:02:08,880 --> 00:02:10,400
Speaker 1: you can't get in there and you know, work that

50
00:02:10,880 --> 00:02:13,160
Speaker 1: during the off season. So we could you know, come

51
00:02:13,240 --> 00:02:15,519
Speaker 1: in during training camp and be able to perfect that craft.

52
00:02:15,600 --> 00:02:17,880
Speaker 1: So that was a little a little hump in the road.

53
00:02:17,919 --> 00:02:20,239
Speaker 1: By think we're getting there well, taking behind the current

54
00:02:20,280 --> 00:02:22,400
Speaker 1: a little bit. You talk about new technique, are you

55
00:02:22,480 --> 00:02:25,080
Speaker 1: talking in regards of how you're working together in the offense?

56
00:02:25,120 --> 00:02:28,520
Speaker 1: Are you talking about literal blocking technique where your hands go,

57
00:02:28,639 --> 00:02:33,919
Speaker 1: how you punch? What's different with Mark Colombo just our footwork.

58
00:02:34,000 --> 00:02:36,360
Speaker 1: You know, he's big into you know, the run footwork

59
00:02:36,360 --> 00:02:40,040
Speaker 1: and you know doing a certain you know technique. I

60
00:02:40,040 --> 00:02:42,160
Speaker 1: don't really know el to say, but just a certain

61
00:02:42,200 --> 00:02:44,600
Speaker 1: technique that he likes and you know it's different than

62
00:02:44,800 --> 00:02:47,040
Speaker 1: last year. But you know, he's a he knows what

63
00:02:47,080 --> 00:02:48,680
Speaker 1: he's talking about. I think it's gonna help us out

64
00:02:48,680 --> 00:02:50,480
Speaker 1: a lot. What has it been like working with Mark.

65
00:02:50,600 --> 00:02:52,040
Speaker 1: You know you look at you look out there, and

66
00:02:52,080 --> 00:02:54,359
Speaker 1: he looks like one of you guys. Right. He's gigantic,

67
00:02:54,440 --> 00:02:56,880
Speaker 1: he's big, he's loud, he's he's into it. He's a

68
00:02:56,919 --> 00:02:59,079
Speaker 1: former player, was a good offensive lineman in his own

69
00:02:59,160 --> 00:03:02,120
Speaker 1: right when he played Cowboys. What has it been like

70
00:03:02,200 --> 00:03:07,320
Speaker 1: being coached by him and learning from Mark Colombo? It's awesome,

71
00:03:07,360 --> 00:03:10,480
Speaker 1: you know, having a coach that played, you know, ten

72
00:03:10,480 --> 00:03:13,520
Speaker 1: plus years in the league. It's always it's always good

73
00:03:13,520 --> 00:03:15,280
Speaker 1: to have to say. I mean, he understands. He he

74
00:03:15,600 --> 00:03:17,119
Speaker 1: went through it all. I mean he went through back

75
00:03:17,639 --> 00:03:19,280
Speaker 1: when there was two days and he said, haven that

76
00:03:19,360 --> 00:03:22,919
Speaker 1: was hardest thing done. But he played you know, real

77
00:03:22,960 --> 00:03:26,239
Speaker 1: grown man football back then. But it's it's good he

78
00:03:26,240 --> 00:03:29,200
Speaker 1: he understands that. He pushes us, and you know, it's

79
00:03:29,240 --> 00:03:31,920
Speaker 1: just nice that he he knows what he's talking about,

80
00:03:32,040 --> 00:03:34,000
Speaker 1: you know, because he's done it and you know he's

81
00:03:34,040 --> 00:03:36,280
Speaker 1: played it and he's gone through exactly what we're going through.

82
00:03:36,520 --> 00:03:38,520
Speaker 1: Does it help? Is it? Yeah? I'm sorry, Nico. Does

83
00:03:38,560 --> 00:03:40,200
Speaker 1: it help his ability to teach you that he can

84
00:03:40,240 --> 00:03:43,560
Speaker 1: like physically get in there and physically show you himself

85
00:03:43,680 --> 00:03:45,360
Speaker 1: what he wants you to do. Does that make it

86
00:03:45,360 --> 00:03:47,240
Speaker 1: easier for you guys to learn and understand what he's

87
00:03:47,280 --> 00:03:50,640
Speaker 1: trying to teach you. Yeah, so I learned. I learned

88
00:03:50,680 --> 00:03:53,240
Speaker 1: that way a lot faster than I do with boardwork

89
00:03:53,560 --> 00:03:55,720
Speaker 1: or things like that. I when I wrap it and

90
00:03:55,720 --> 00:03:57,160
Speaker 1: do it over and over. I think that's a lot

91
00:03:57,160 --> 00:03:59,720
Speaker 1: of things with most people. But it's you know, being

92
00:03:59,720 --> 00:04:01,360
Speaker 1: able to just see it too and be able to like,

93
00:04:01,400 --> 00:04:03,600
Speaker 1: all right, that's right, and move my f this right

94
00:04:04,160 --> 00:04:06,400
Speaker 1: the correct playing you know he did it, and it's

95
00:04:06,440 --> 00:04:09,000
Speaker 1: just like visually it's really good to see, you know,

96
00:04:09,480 --> 00:04:12,400
Speaker 1: to be able to look at you know, offensive line

97
00:04:12,400 --> 00:04:14,520
Speaker 1: player Nick and you know this. It's about you guys

98
00:04:14,520 --> 00:04:16,640
Speaker 1: working together. You know, you guys can be great individual

99
00:04:16,640 --> 00:04:19,159
Speaker 1: If you don't work with chemistry as a group, it's

100
00:04:19,160 --> 00:04:21,599
Speaker 1: not going to work. How much of that is feel

101
00:04:21,880 --> 00:04:24,760
Speaker 1: in terms of just having a feel for in this scheme,

102
00:04:24,880 --> 00:04:27,039
Speaker 1: using the techniques that Mark Almos teaching you, that you

103
00:04:27,080 --> 00:04:29,200
Speaker 1: have to kind of know exactly what the guy next

104
00:04:29,240 --> 00:04:31,440
Speaker 1: you is going to do and how has it been

105
00:04:31,480 --> 00:04:34,440
Speaker 1: trying to acquire that feel and what we already talked

106
00:04:34,480 --> 00:04:38,960
Speaker 1: about is kind of a condensed practice schedule. Um, it's

107
00:04:39,000 --> 00:04:40,760
Speaker 1: just being able to trust your your guys to the

108
00:04:40,800 --> 00:04:42,320
Speaker 1: left and right now and you're gonna get a job

109
00:04:42,360 --> 00:04:44,680
Speaker 1: done and going he's gonna be there when you know

110
00:04:45,160 --> 00:04:46,880
Speaker 1: you make a certain call of the calls made, like

111
00:04:46,960 --> 00:04:48,640
Speaker 1: you know he's gonna be able to get his job done,

112
00:04:48,680 --> 00:04:50,440
Speaker 1: he's gonna be able to fit with you and and

113
00:04:50,680 --> 00:04:52,320
Speaker 1: and you know, move guys out of the whole the day.

114
00:04:52,360 --> 00:04:55,200
Speaker 1: It's the biggest thing is just trust. Just try like

115
00:04:55,200 --> 00:04:57,080
Speaker 1: trusting your guy to your left and right. I think

116
00:04:57,120 --> 00:04:59,000
Speaker 1: we've built we've built a pretty good trust. I mean

117
00:04:59,720 --> 00:05:02,559
Speaker 1: the I mean Bill means Zitler and all these guys

118
00:05:02,560 --> 00:05:05,040
Speaker 1: have been together, you know since the last two years.

119
00:05:05,080 --> 00:05:06,919
Speaker 1: So that kind of helps when the inside, you know,

120
00:05:07,440 --> 00:05:09,800
Speaker 1: knowing you try and things like that. What has been

121
00:05:09,839 --> 00:05:12,560
Speaker 1: the adjustment for you moving over and getting some of

122
00:05:12,560 --> 00:05:16,760
Speaker 1: these snaps at center during practice? Um, I'd say the

123
00:05:16,760 --> 00:05:19,080
Speaker 1: biggest thing is telling everybody what to do and mentally,

124
00:05:19,360 --> 00:05:21,440
Speaker 1: you know, it's a it's a bigger mental load on

125
00:05:21,480 --> 00:05:25,520
Speaker 1: the center. I never really quite understood how much more

126
00:05:25,520 --> 00:05:27,480
Speaker 1: of a mental load it is. And you know, being

127
00:05:27,640 --> 00:05:30,360
Speaker 1: having to tell you know, everybody you're gonna go, I'm

128
00:05:30,360 --> 00:05:33,040
Speaker 1: pointing the mic things like that. So it's uh, that's

129
00:05:33,040 --> 00:05:36,200
Speaker 1: probably the biggest adjustment to me. Yeah, Joe Judge said

130
00:05:36,200 --> 00:05:37,800
Speaker 1: the other day talking to us on on one of

131
00:05:37,839 --> 00:05:40,400
Speaker 1: these zoom calls, that you know, he's making sure the

132
00:05:40,480 --> 00:05:44,240
Speaker 1: offense is getting the defense rather is giving you different looks,

133
00:05:44,560 --> 00:05:47,279
Speaker 1: so you're going to see the different things that you're

134
00:05:47,320 --> 00:05:49,560
Speaker 1: probably going to see at some point during the regular season.

135
00:05:49,720 --> 00:05:51,440
Speaker 1: And he wanted to see him for the first time

136
00:05:51,520 --> 00:05:55,680
Speaker 1: now rather than in live games in September October. So

137
00:05:55,920 --> 00:05:57,839
Speaker 1: what has it been like getting your eyes on this

138
00:05:57,920 --> 00:06:02,560
Speaker 1: Patrick Grand defense and using all the mental preparation and

139
00:06:02,560 --> 00:06:04,680
Speaker 1: work you're doing during the week to make sure those

140
00:06:04,720 --> 00:06:07,200
Speaker 1: calls are right With Daniel Jones over the course of practice.

141
00:06:08,400 --> 00:06:11,359
Speaker 1: Yeah know, definitely, I mean he he uh that Miami

142
00:06:11,400 --> 00:06:13,520
Speaker 1: defense that he was you know running last year. It's

143
00:06:13,560 --> 00:06:15,720
Speaker 1: a they run a lot of different things, a lot

144
00:06:15,760 --> 00:06:17,480
Speaker 1: of you know, they go from dimes to nickel to

145
00:06:17,560 --> 00:06:20,320
Speaker 1: base so run you know, they'll run all these different things.

146
00:06:20,400 --> 00:06:22,520
Speaker 1: Are based are stuff, but are other things like that.

147
00:06:22,640 --> 00:06:24,800
Speaker 1: So just being able to look at it and you know,

148
00:06:24,880 --> 00:06:27,279
Speaker 1: be able to see what they're in and what they

149
00:06:27,480 --> 00:06:29,440
Speaker 1: what they're doing. It helps me out a lot of

150
00:06:29,520 --> 00:06:31,880
Speaker 1: the young center, you know, due to the position like,

151
00:06:31,960 --> 00:06:34,159
Speaker 1: it gets me thinking, It gets me knowing my rules

152
00:06:34,200 --> 00:06:36,320
Speaker 1: and you know, I have to know my rules that

153
00:06:36,640 --> 00:06:39,000
Speaker 1: you know what they're doing stuff like that. What's the

154
00:06:39,040 --> 00:06:42,440
Speaker 1: process like working together with Daniel both during practice and

155
00:06:42,520 --> 00:06:45,400

Speaker 1: blocking assignments and all that are set up properly. Oh yeah,

00:06:57,560 --> 00:06:58,919
Speaker 1: I mean I go out there and I make my

Speaker 1: my point and give the call and you know, try

162
00:07:01,760 --> 00:07:03,440
Speaker 1: to get get it on the same page as Bend.

163
00:07:03,560 --> 00:07:05,279
Speaker 1: And if he doesn't like it, he'd just be like, no, no, no,

164
00:07:05,360 --> 00:07:07,360
Speaker 1: we're going here. You can give us us a call.

165
00:07:07,480 --> 00:07:09,320
Speaker 1: So he kind of has an off of the Trump card,

166
00:07:10,280 --> 00:07:13,000
Speaker 1: and you know, he just listen to him if he

167

Speaker 1: here and do that. And it's kind of nice when

169
00:07:18,000 --> 00:07:20,040
Speaker 1: when you you know the quarter of aspect and you

170
00:07:20,040 --> 00:07:23,160
Speaker 1: know exactly knows exactly what to do in every situation

171
00:07:23,240 --> 00:07:25,520
Speaker 1: and and things like that, so you know, in case

172
00:07:25,560 --> 00:07:27,480
Speaker 1: I do mess up. He's right there and he's like, no,

173
00:07:27,600 --> 00:07:29,800
Speaker 1: let's go here and and do this with the with

174
00:07:29,880 --> 00:07:32,600
Speaker 1: the line and things like that. Is that something you

175
00:07:32,600 --> 00:07:34,400
Speaker 1: and him will work on it and talk about, you know,

176
00:07:34,480 --> 00:07:36,880
Speaker 1: during the weekend and off the practice field to or

177
00:07:37,000 --> 00:07:39,000
Speaker 1: given the schedule and how things are working. Is that

178
00:07:39,120 --> 00:07:40,800
Speaker 1: something you guys kind of just do on the field

179
00:07:40,840 --> 00:07:44,040
Speaker 1: at this point, um, sorry, yeah, today that there'll be

180
00:07:44,080 --> 00:07:46,000
Speaker 1: a couple of looks that I wasn't sure about or

181
00:07:46,160 --> 00:07:48,880
Speaker 1: wondering why he took me off the point and things

182
00:07:48,880 --> 00:07:50,440
Speaker 1: like that. I'll just go talk to him, but hey,

183
00:07:50,480 --> 00:07:52,200
Speaker 1: what do you see. He's like, oh, I saw this,

184
00:07:52,200 --> 00:07:55,400
Speaker 1: this and this, that's why I went here. So you know,

185
00:07:55,680 --> 00:07:57,640
Speaker 1: we we do talk a little bit about things like that,

186
00:07:57,680 --> 00:07:59,560
Speaker 1: but for the for the most part, I'm just you know,

187
00:07:59,600 --> 00:08:02,600
Speaker 1: still trying to be in the playbook learning learn exactly

188
00:08:02,640 --> 00:08:03,920
Speaker 1: what I gotta do when I gotta do it to

189
00:08:04,080 --> 00:08:06,280
Speaker 1: upfront and things like that, and look the defensive showing

190
00:08:06,280 --> 00:08:09,000
Speaker 1: me what's the physical challenge at center? And I always

191
00:08:09,040 --> 00:08:11,120
Speaker 1: talked to Showing a Hower about this, and he says

192
00:08:11,120 --> 00:08:12,600
Speaker 1: a lot of times you have to start your block

193
00:08:12,640 --> 00:08:14,640
Speaker 1: with one arm right because you're snapping with the other one.

194
00:08:14,720 --> 00:08:18,240
Speaker 1: So for someone that last year played guard, play tackle physically,

195
00:08:18,360 --> 00:08:20,840
Speaker 1: for you at the snap you're snapping the ball, what's

196
00:08:20,880 --> 00:08:22,880
Speaker 1: different for you in your technique and getting into your

197
00:08:22,880 --> 00:08:24,920
Speaker 1: proper position and getting your hands in the right place,

198
00:08:25,160 --> 00:08:29,480
Speaker 1: having the block right after you snap that football. I'm said,

199
00:08:29,480 --> 00:08:31,360
Speaker 1: the biggest thing is that that nose guard or that

200
00:08:31,480 --> 00:08:37,400
Speaker 1: deep tackle five six inches from your face. So that

201
00:08:37,559 --> 00:08:39,319
Speaker 1: if I say, at the most difficult part being able

202
00:08:39,320 --> 00:08:41,559
Speaker 1: to just get your feet down into the ground and

203
00:08:42,280 --> 00:08:44,079
Speaker 1: your left hand. You gotta be strong with your left

204
00:08:44,080 --> 00:08:45,439
Speaker 1: hand and get that thing in there. So when you

205
00:08:45,480 --> 00:08:47,880
Speaker 1: pull your your right hand out, you you you fit

206
00:08:47,960 --> 00:08:49,280
Speaker 1: it up in there and you know it's I just

207
00:08:49,280 --> 00:08:50,880
Speaker 1: think the biggest thing is my feet work and just

208
00:08:51,120 --> 00:08:53,679
Speaker 1: footwork and just getting getting him down and getting the

209
00:08:53,720 --> 00:08:57,080
Speaker 1: steps down before he could, you know, hit me. How

210
00:08:57,080 --> 00:08:59,280
Speaker 1: important is this scrimmage is gonna be on Friday because

211
00:08:59,320 --> 00:09:02,199
Speaker 1: you don't have any season games and you're not really

212
00:09:02,240 --> 00:09:04,360
Speaker 1: gonna you know, you guys are kind of live in

213
00:09:04,360 --> 00:09:07,160
Speaker 1: in practice. You're doing some more physical things, but it's

214
00:09:07,160 --> 00:09:09,000
Speaker 1: still not a game situation. So how much does this

215
00:09:09,040 --> 00:09:11,600
Speaker 1: scrimmage on Friday do you think gonna help get you

216
00:09:11,640 --> 00:09:14,800
Speaker 1: guys ready for that first Steelers game where it's gonna

217
00:09:14,800 --> 00:09:16,520
Speaker 1: be the first time you know, the other team is

218
00:09:16,559 --> 00:09:22,120
Speaker 1: trying to basically kill you since last December. Um, I

219
00:09:22,120 --> 00:09:25,040
Speaker 1: ain't gonna be huge, just especially for the rookies because

220
00:09:25,040 --> 00:09:28,359
Speaker 1: I mean they haven't had a NFL you know, preseason

221
00:09:28,400 --> 00:09:29,960
Speaker 1: staff or anything like. They don't have any of that

222
00:09:29,960 --> 00:09:32,840
Speaker 1: stuff on their belt. So I think it will definitely

223
00:09:32,840 --> 00:09:35,720
Speaker 1: help just to see the tempo and you know, see

224
00:09:35,720 --> 00:09:38,960
Speaker 1: how how fast the NFL is compared to the college level.

225
00:09:38,960 --> 00:09:39,959
Speaker 1: And I need it'll be good for them, and I

226
00:09:39,960 --> 00:09:42,120
Speaker 1: think it should be good for the team just to

227
00:09:42,120 --> 00:09:44,320
Speaker 1: be able to go out there and you know, simulate

228
00:09:44,360 --> 00:09:48,000
Speaker 1: a legit football game, you know, for the first time

229
00:09:48,000 --> 00:09:53,360
Speaker 1: before we go into a real football game. So yeah, absolutely,

230
00:09:53,400 --> 00:09:55,440
Speaker 1: final question, Nick, And you know there's been some people

231
00:09:55,480 --> 00:09:57,679
Speaker 1: on the outside that aren't here watching practice and they

232
00:09:57,720 --> 00:10:00,640
Speaker 1: really know what's going on inside the building that questioned,

233
00:10:00,679 --> 00:10:02,959
Speaker 1: you know, some of the ways that coach judges running

234
00:10:02,960 --> 00:10:05,240
Speaker 1: the team in terms of you know, the laps and

235
00:10:05,440 --> 00:10:07,720
Speaker 1: you know, being kind of a disciplinarian with people making

236
00:10:07,720 --> 00:10:10,440
Speaker 1: mental mistakes in practice. What's been your reaction and the

237
00:10:10,440 --> 00:10:13,480
Speaker 1: general reaction to the team, Uh, to the level of

238
00:10:13,520 --> 00:10:16,560
Speaker 1: detail that that Joe Judge coaches the team with and

239
00:10:16,640 --> 00:10:20,280
Speaker 1: just his lack of tolerance for the type of mental

240
00:10:20,320 --> 00:10:22,760
Speaker 1: mistakes that will cost the team wins at some point

241
00:10:22,840 --> 00:10:26,400
Speaker 1: during the year. Um, I'm all for it. I think

242
00:10:26,440 --> 00:10:28,520
Speaker 1: it helps your team become a better football team, a

243
00:10:28,600 --> 00:10:32,559
Speaker 1: more detail orientated team, and gets everybody, you know, making

244
00:10:32,600 --> 00:10:35,240
Speaker 1: sure they know their stuff and doing exactly what they're

245
00:10:35,240 --> 00:10:36,760
Speaker 1: supposed to be doing when they're supposed to be doing.

246
00:10:36,840 --> 00:10:39,560
Speaker 1: I mean, and that stuff that helps you win football games.

247
00:10:39,600 --> 00:10:42,040
Speaker 1: I mean, when you're not getting penalties, you're not holding,

248
00:10:42,040 --> 00:10:44,480
Speaker 1: you're not you know, you're not doing all these things

249
00:10:44,520 --> 00:10:46,480
Speaker 1: in practice, You're not going to be doing them in

250
00:10:46,480 --> 00:10:49,800
Speaker 1: the game. So it's it's a I'm all for it.

251
00:10:49,840 --> 00:10:51,720
Speaker 1: And you know, I've had around a couple of times

252
00:10:51,760 --> 00:10:54,040
Speaker 1: there anybody you know, I messed up, So I gotta

253
00:10:54,400 --> 00:10:57,920
Speaker 1: I gotta reap the consequence. And folks, if the offensive

254
00:10:57,960 --> 00:10:59,640
Speaker 1: lineman doesn't mind running a little bit of a lab,

255
00:10:59,679 --> 00:11:01,400
Speaker 1: that means rest of the team is probably good with it. Two,

256
00:11:01,440 --> 00:11:06,360
Speaker 1: just saying Nick, I appreciate a man. Great stuff we

257
00:11:06,440 --> 00:11:08,280
