Man? I'm good? 0:01:48.440 --> 0:01:50.880 What about you? I'm not too bad. I can't complain. 0:01:50.920 --> 0:01:56.040 It's a South Florida in December. You can't beat that, man, right? Oh? Man, 0:01:56.320 --> 0:01:59.160 I got some pisi three back home? Is uh in Georgia. 0:01:59.320 --> 0:02:02.240 I played football in college. They said it's cold, they're 0:02:02.240 --> 0:02:08.840 putting on hat and I'm down here. That was short short. Now, 0:02:08.919 --> 0:02:11.200 when you say short shorts, are you talking about like 0:02:11.320 --> 0:02:14.119 the ones that Isaiah Ford war that Ryan Fitzpatrick later 0:02:14.120 --> 0:02:17.679 put on. Are we going a little bit longer than that? Now? 0:02:17.760 --> 0:02:22.400 I'm I'm a little bit longer than that, But I'm 0:02:22.440 --> 0:02:25.280 a little bit longer than that. I thought so, man? Uh, 0:02:25.400 --> 0:02:27.639 speaking of South Florida, I wanted to bring up something 0:02:27.680 --> 0:02:29.120 to you that I had happened to me the other day, 0:02:29.120 --> 0:02:31.600 because when we talk on that podcast back in I 0:02:31.600 --> 0:02:34.280 think it was September, you told me a story about 0:02:34.560 --> 0:02:36.800 running into an iguana in your it was either your 0:02:36.800 --> 0:02:39.560 aunt or your grandma's backyard. That that scared the Jesus 0:02:39.560 --> 0:02:42.520 out of you. Um, And I saw the staying Solomon 0:02:42.560 --> 0:02:44.680 where when it gets cold here the iguanas will fall 0:02:44.720 --> 0:02:46.600 out of trees. And I was going for a jog 0:02:46.680 --> 0:02:48.360 the other day and one of them fell out of 0:02:48.360 --> 0:02:50.720 a tree and ran into the lake, and it scared 0:02:50.800 --> 0:02:53.160 the crap out of me. I'm wondering, have you had 0:02:53.160 --> 0:02:57.160 any more iguana or wildlife interactions since our last conversation. 0:02:58.840 --> 0:03:02.880 I'm putting out every tree in my back yard. Is 0:03:02.919 --> 0:03:06.359 it already done? I haven't. I haven't. I haven't had 0:03:06.400 --> 0:03:09.480 any more experience than that. I think since that time 0:03:09.520 --> 0:03:11.120 I told you about that shirt, I think I've seen 0:03:11.200 --> 0:03:13.440 like two more two more after that, But other than that, 0:03:13.440 --> 0:03:15.680 I don't really haven't seen him. But every tree around me, 0:03:15.880 --> 0:03:19.440 I'm definitely looking up and not said nothing nehing to 0:03:19.560 --> 0:03:22.919 actually is going to free. That's a good strategy, man, 0:03:23.160 --> 0:03:25.720 They're so they're terrifying. I can't even look at them 0:03:25.760 --> 0:03:28.280 without just wanting to go to the the direction. But I 0:03:28.320 --> 0:03:30.880 think that's that's plenty of wildlife talk here with the 0:03:30.880 --> 0:03:32.960 big fish himself. I want to ask you a little 0:03:32.960 --> 0:03:35.760 bit about, um, just coming into the league with you know, 0:03:36.160 --> 0:03:38.680 two fellow rookies along the offensive line and you guys 0:03:38.760 --> 0:03:40.880 both are all three of you rather have played so much. 0:03:41.040 --> 0:03:43.440 What's that experience been like coming into the league with 0:03:43.640 --> 0:03:45.560 two guys that are kind of have a similar, you know, 0:03:45.640 --> 0:03:47.840 career path in terms of coming into the league to 0:03:47.880 --> 0:03:50.120 a new team and playing along the offensive line together. 0:03:50.320 --> 0:03:53.360 What's the experience been like for you? Oh? Man is great? Man. 0:03:53.400 --> 0:03:55.720 We we we came in with each other. We know 0:03:55.760 --> 0:03:57.880 what we had to do. We we all, we all 0:03:57.920 --> 0:04:01.000 a blessful opportunity even you know, to come around and 0:04:01.040 --> 0:04:03.560 be a part of each other mines. But it's just 0:04:03.640 --> 0:04:07.000 it's just great when you can meet people from different 0:04:07.400 --> 0:04:09.640 parts of the word just condition to just click. Um, 0:04:09.760 --> 0:04:13.280 it's just I just I just love how we are brotherhood, 0:04:13.440 --> 0:04:16.560 not underknown each other for a few months, um and 0:04:16.600 --> 0:04:19.200 once your brother'shood, how we are we click on the field, 0:04:19.200 --> 0:04:21.120 we commuter hit with each other. We want to do 0:04:21.160 --> 0:04:23.240 stuff outside the field with each other, and so you know, 0:04:23.480 --> 0:04:25.200 it's just been a great spence and I can't wait 0:04:25.240 --> 0:04:27.520 to play for more and more, more and more games 0:04:27.520 --> 0:04:29.960 for these guys. Yeah, I was gonna say, Solomon. You know, 0:04:30.000 --> 0:04:32.600 obviously you guys came into the NFL and the weirdest 0:04:32.680 --> 0:04:34.760 year of my entire life, I'm sure of yours as 0:04:34.760 --> 0:04:37.320 well as far as COVID you know, protocols, and the 0:04:37.400 --> 0:04:39.400 NFL has just been different in that way, like the 0:04:39.400 --> 0:04:42.880 rest of life has. Have you guys had any conversations about, like, man, 0:04:43.000 --> 0:04:45.520 when hopefully this vaccine comes out and we all get 0:04:45.560 --> 0:04:48.120 you know, past this. Have you guys had any conversations 0:04:48.120 --> 0:04:50.880 about what you might do in the off season together, 0:04:50.920 --> 0:04:52.200 like to hang out, to go like on a road 0:04:52.200 --> 0:04:53.479 trip or something like there Is there anything you guys 0:04:53.480 --> 0:04:56.000 want to do together once this is all cleared up? Um, Yeah, 0:04:56.040 --> 0:04:58.200 we have talked about that, but we haven't made a 0:04:58.320 --> 0:05:00.600 decidity yet because you know, like I said, we all 0:05:00.640 --> 0:05:04.880 from different places. I think Austin from the Arizona, Um 0:05:05.120 --> 0:05:08.320 Robins from Tactas, and I'm from I'm from Jacksonville, Florida. 0:05:08.320 --> 0:05:10.680 So you know, if all we're gonna I think after 0:05:10.680 --> 0:05:13.000 the season, after we do what we gotta do this season, 0:05:13.040 --> 0:05:14.600 I think we're gonna make a run and you know, 0:05:14.920 --> 0:05:16.400 just talking about that type of stuff and see what 0:05:16.400 --> 0:05:18.400 we really wants to do. But after right now, we 0:05:18.440 --> 0:05:20.839 really haven't made the season yet. Yeah, I'll look forward 0:05:20.880 --> 0:05:22.760 to that. Hopefully you guys can can make a whole 0:05:22.760 --> 0:05:24.240 thing out of it. I'm just picturing the three of 0:05:24.279 --> 0:05:26.040 you guys like in an RV or something, going down 0:05:26.080 --> 0:05:28.560 the highway, just having a good time. Maybe maybe we 0:05:28.560 --> 0:05:31.120 can do something with that. But no doubt. But so obviously, 0:05:31.160 --> 0:05:34.160 you know, you wouldn't know otherwise because this is your 0:05:34.200 --> 0:05:37.200 rookie season. But I'm wondering, you know, having those guys 0:05:37.200 --> 0:05:39.560 come in together and going through training camp like, because 0:05:39.560 --> 0:05:41.960 there were so many young players that were first timers 0:05:42.040 --> 0:05:45.360 in that offensive line room. What was like training camp 0:05:45.400 --> 0:05:47.680 like and coming up through this program and trying to 0:05:47.720 --> 0:05:50.320 get the field for the NFL lifestyle together? Was that 0:05:50.680 --> 0:05:52.880 helpful to have those guys around you through the process. 0:05:54.560 --> 0:05:56.560 Oh yeah, no doubt. You know, you gotta you gotta 0:05:56.600 --> 0:05:58.919 have somebody they can be able to, you know, not 0:05:59.000 --> 0:06:01.480 only just push you when you need when you need 0:06:01.520 --> 0:06:03.840 help but push you when stuff not going your way. 0:06:03.960 --> 0:06:06.400 You know, having a good positive mindset alone with you're 0:06:06.800 --> 0:06:09.080 when when stuff is going bad with you. So you know, 0:06:09.120 --> 0:06:10.599 that's what we did when you took every day like 0:06:10.600 --> 0:06:13.760 we stayed on the field today us three extra pass that, 0:06:13.960 --> 0:06:16.880 you know, just talking about just talking about life and 0:06:16.920 --> 0:06:19.680 sometimes get your mind off football and just you know, 0:06:19.960 --> 0:06:23.000 just just soaping it all man. You know, because you 0:06:23.080 --> 0:06:25.560 live one life, you gotta you gotta chance. So that's 0:06:25.600 --> 0:06:27.560 that's not a big stay, and that's how we're walking. 0:06:27.560 --> 0:06:29.919 That's how we talk. We we're blessed for every opportunity 0:06:29.920 --> 0:06:32.160 and blessed for everything that's coming our weight and everything 0:06:32.200 --> 0:06:34.400 else that's gonna happen in the future. It's cool to 0:06:34.440 --> 0:06:36.280 hear you talk like that, Sol then because it just 0:06:36.320 --> 0:06:38.240 goes back to, you know, the message we've heard all 0:06:38.240 --> 0:06:40.840 season long about the Dolphins bringing in a certain type 0:06:40.839 --> 0:06:42.640 of player, a certain type of person, and it sounds 0:06:42.680 --> 0:06:44.679 like all three of you guys definitely check those boxes. 0:06:44.720 --> 0:06:46.839 So it's it's cool to hear that. I'm wondering, like 0:06:46.839 --> 0:06:49.479 when when you talked about extra pass sets at practice, like, 0:06:49.880 --> 0:06:53.040 is that sometimes a little better because maybe one day 0:06:53.040 --> 0:06:55.320 you're like, man, my legs a little bit dead. I'm 0:06:55.360 --> 0:06:57.040 not really feeling it. I'm tired and I just want 0:06:57.040 --> 0:06:58.480 to kind of go take a break. But then you've 0:06:58.520 --> 0:07:00.080 got like Austin and Rother and be like, hey, le's go, 0:07:00.160 --> 0:07:01.919 let's let's get some more reps and get the restless. 0:07:01.960 --> 0:07:04.880 They done, no doubt, no doubt. One day Austin might 0:07:04.920 --> 0:07:07.360 be like, I'm from the ball in I grabbed him 0:07:07.360 --> 0:07:09.400 bout the soda bag. You know you're not. One day 0:07:09.400 --> 0:07:11.560 it might be me he tripped me up and say 0:07:11.680 --> 0:07:13.880 you stand in your big your big butt on the field, 0:07:14.080 --> 0:07:15.720 and then it might be it might be wrong one 0:07:15.800 --> 0:07:18.280 day and then both of us grabbing the off and say, 0:07:18.360 --> 0:07:20.160 you know you're not going to get better. So you know, 0:07:20.280 --> 0:07:23.240 like I said, keeping keeping it, keeping good a good 0:07:23.280 --> 0:07:25.440 hearted people and people that want to work, to people 0:07:25.440 --> 0:07:28.360 that wants to be better around you. It makes you better. 0:07:28.520 --> 0:07:30.680 So that's how we look at it. It's a good 0:07:30.680 --> 0:07:33.160 professional environment to be in. And speaking of environment, I 0:07:33.160 --> 0:07:35.840 wanted to ask you about coach Marshall. Uh. He's always 0:07:35.920 --> 0:07:38.200 so lively and bubbly on the on the press conference 0:07:38.240 --> 0:07:40.360 when we talked to him every other week here as 0:07:40.400 --> 0:07:42.120 part of the media. What can you tell us about 0:07:42.160 --> 0:07:44.480 coach Marshall and the offensive line room on the practice 0:07:44.520 --> 0:07:46.520 field on game day? Like, what's it like being with 0:07:46.600 --> 0:07:48.680 him and working with a guy that has so much experience? 0:07:49.160 --> 0:07:51.840 Oh my, it's a it's a great if a person 0:07:51.880 --> 0:07:55.320 to have a guy you know that that have coach plenty, 0:07:55.640 --> 0:07:58.680 clinic cleany thing to col browlers and plenty. But get 0:07:58.720 --> 0:08:00.960 too harm of famous man. You know, he just gives 0:08:00.960 --> 0:08:03.920 you streat knowledge and you know, wisdom about the game. Man, 0:08:04.240 --> 0:08:07.440 how how much potential every guy in that office, officersve 0:08:07.480 --> 0:08:09.360 line can have. Then you know, he teaches you a 0:08:09.400 --> 0:08:11.520 lot of stuff and like you said, he always have 0:08:11.720 --> 0:08:14.920 energy from when I lost a draw, he always gonna 0:08:14.920 --> 0:08:17.200 have energy too, to the point where you know he 0:08:17.240 --> 0:08:19.080 wants you to get better. He knows you knows he 0:08:19.200 --> 0:08:22.360 got your best entries in heart and in certain situations. 0:08:22.360 --> 0:08:24.720 So you know, having a person like that makes you 0:08:24.720 --> 0:08:26.760 want to get better. You don't want them down. It 0:08:26.800 --> 0:08:29.240 sounds like the entire offensive line room and probably the 0:08:29.320 --> 0:08:32.640 entire team as well, just has that kind of support mindset, right, 0:08:32.640 --> 0:08:34.880 like everyone's there to help each other out, no doubt, 0:08:34.920 --> 0:08:37.600 no doubt.

How you been, how's the season going 0:09:43.120 --> 0:09:45.679 so far? And uh and I gotta ask you, man, 0:09:45.800 --> 0:09:49.079 how's how's the key? I tell you right doing? M man? 0:09:49.160 --> 0:09:52.800 Everybody know about that? Huh um, it's good man.

It's a big car, 0:09:57.920 --> 0:10:01.080 big man like me, so very I like it. I 0:10:01.120 --> 0:10:03.079 was actually looking because I wanted to ask you about it, 0:10:03.080 --> 0:10:04.360 and I was looking to see what kind of car 0:10:04.400 --> 0:10:06.319 I was dealing with here, and I googled it and yeah, 0:10:06.320 --> 0:10:09.280 I was surprised. It has a lot of space back there. 0:10:09.400 --> 0:10:11.959 You're gonna maybe when things clear up a little bit 0:10:12.000 --> 0:10:13.920 as far as COVID goes, you're gonna try to get 0:10:13.960 --> 0:10:15.520 that thing out to the beach. Like, what's you got 0:10:15.520 --> 0:10:17.439 any big plans for that for that road trip in 0:10:17.480 --> 0:10:21.160 the future. Uh? No, not really. How live in the 0:10:21.200 --> 0:10:24.280 country stuff, man, I take that thing's gonna country. I 0:10:24.320 --> 0:10:26.719 don't know if I have to be careful with you know, 0:10:26.760 --> 0:10:29.440 it's my bank, all this stuff like that in the country. 0:10:29.480 --> 0:10:31.760 I gotta watch that man is given me a pickup 0:10:31.760 --> 0:10:34.120 truck man one of these days. Yeah, I get you 0:10:34.160 --> 0:10:36.120 something you can beat up and definitely be something that 0:10:36.200 --> 0:10:38.600 you're you're weary of the South Florida drivers down here. 0:10:38.600 --> 0:10:42.600 I'm sure you've you've seen how crazy it is. It's unreal. 0:10:43.480 --> 0:10:45.240 I got someone really to me my first like two 0:10:45.240 --> 0:10:47.360 months down here. It's like, Okay, I guess I'm officially 0:10:47.360 --> 0:10:49.960 a South Alreadian now. But let's let's talk about some 0:10:49.960 --> 0:10:52.959 some some football now. Um. You know, you guys come 0:10:52.960 --> 0:10:56.240 into this to this team together, and you went through 0:10:56.520 --> 0:10:59.280 the combine, you went through the post draft process together. 0:10:59.280 --> 0:11:01.760 I think you've actually references before about working out at 0:11:01.800 --> 0:11:04.080 the combine together, the three of you guys, and being 0:11:04.120 --> 0:11:06.400 kind of close in that workout group. What has this 0:11:06.440 --> 0:11:09.000 experience been like as far as being around two other 0:11:09.040 --> 0:11:11.439 guys that you know went through the exact same thing 0:11:11.480 --> 0:11:14.120 you did from the end of your college career to 0:11:14.160 --> 0:11:17.920 the start of your rookie season. Um, it's been fun. Man. Um. 0:11:17.960 --> 0:11:19.320 I don't think I would like it. I don't think 0:11:19.360 --> 0:11:20.840 I would want it any other way. You know, I 0:11:21.040 --> 0:11:24.280 have two other guys and three rookies in the same room. 0:11:24.320 --> 0:11:27.000 You know, I'll come at the same time to experience 0:11:27.200 --> 0:11:28.959 all this together. Man, I think I don't think I 0:11:28.960 --> 0:11:31.040 will like one or any other way. Like I think 0:11:31.080 --> 0:11:33.079 it's as as I'm blessing to this guy. You know, 0:11:33.120 --> 0:11:34.880 all of us are here. We kind of you know, 0:11:35.000 --> 0:11:37.520 help this team and get better. And we also got 0:11:37.520 --> 0:11:40.080 to come in together and like make points with each other, 0:11:40.120 --> 0:11:42.920 and you know, have relationships off the field. And I 0:11:42.960 --> 0:11:44.920 have to imagine, like I compare it to like the 0:11:44.960 --> 0:11:46.800 first day of school, Like you you arrive and maybe 0:11:46.800 --> 0:11:49.000 a little bit nervous about making new friends and and 0:11:49.040 --> 0:11:50.600 you've got these classes you don't know how to get 0:11:50.600 --> 0:11:52.760 to certain parts of campus. I have to imagine that 0:11:52.840 --> 0:11:55.959 having those guys around you helped, like really get yourself 0:11:56.040 --> 0:11:58.560 involved immediately with the Dolphins, whether it was you know, 0:11:58.600 --> 0:12:00.800 mini camps or training camp whatever it was, like that 0:12:00.880 --> 0:12:03.600 had to help to write. Oh yeah, for sure, man. 0:12:03.760 --> 0:12:05.240 Like like I said, like all this coming in together 0:12:05.320 --> 0:12:08.160 helped us all out, you know, because we we automatically 0:12:08.200 --> 0:12:09.960 have a bun because we are rookies and go on 0:12:09.960 --> 0:12:13.000 the online so um, definitely have a bun already and 0:12:13.240 --> 0:12:15.559 um there our guests and stuff. Man, they're they're really 0:12:15.559 --> 0:12:17.360 good too. They have us out a lot, um just 0:12:17.400 --> 0:12:19.000 coming into and they taught us a lot as well. 0:12:19.320 --> 0:12:22.360 Remember a training camp every day seeing Eric Flower's lard, 0:12:22.400 --> 0:12:25.400 those those rubber bands or the whatever the apparas was, 0:12:25.440 --> 0:12:28.040 the the resistance bands that you guys are working after practice, Like, 0:12:28.360 --> 0:12:30.200 was that something that he introduced you to? Had you 0:12:30.240 --> 0:12:31.959 seen that before? And what did you think when you 0:12:32.000 --> 0:12:34.800 would work after practice in this in this July Miami 0:12:34.920 --> 0:12:40.280 he on those bands? Um, No, Eric definitely um introduced 0:12:40.640 --> 0:12:42.920 um the bungees too. It's called the Bungees. Yeah, I 0:12:42.920 --> 0:12:44.960 definitely introduced that to be my first I'm seeing it, 0:12:45.280 --> 0:12:47.880 um and then it was hot as hell and it 0:12:47.920 --> 0:12:50.880 was definitely hot as hell. Um, well, I know that, 0:12:51.000 --> 0:12:52.920 you know, trying to do that and just following the 0:12:52.920 --> 0:12:56.600 older guys um probably be for us to do. And 0:12:56.640 --> 0:12:58.040 that's just what I did, and that's what we did, 0:12:58.120 --> 0:13:00.840 you know. Yeah, and Solomon talked about this too. You know, 0:13:00.880 --> 0:13:03.280 it's it's week fifteen now, so obviously the grind is 0:13:03.559 --> 0:13:05.480 is in full force from that time to now. He 0:13:05.520 --> 0:13:07.560 talked about you guys getting some extra pass sets and 0:13:07.600 --> 0:13:10.280 after practice today even and I asked him, like, is 0:13:10.559 --> 0:13:13.400 there a certain accountability factor among the three of you guys, 0:13:13.440 --> 0:13:16.679 because you know, every profession robbed like myself, sometimes I 0:13:16.720 --> 0:13:18.400 don't want to write, sometimes I don't want to podcast, 0:13:18.400 --> 0:13:20.680 but you gotta push through. Like sometimes are there days 0:13:20.720 --> 0:13:22.679 when you're not feeling it, maybe Austin is not feeling 0:13:22.760 --> 0:13:24.559 or Solomon's not feeling it, and you guys kind of 0:13:24.559 --> 0:13:28.040 pick each other up. Um, I don't know the days 0:13:28.120 --> 0:13:31.080 like that, but I know that we definitely, um challenge 0:13:31.080 --> 0:13:33.600 each other, you know, to be better. I would say, Um, 0:13:33.640 --> 0:13:35.520 I think we all just get come in and ready 0:13:35.520 --> 0:13:38.000 to play and ready to go, and that just that 0:13:38.040 --> 0:13:39.480 helps out a lot, you know, like we're just ready 0:13:39.520 --> 0:13:41.040 to go to went first seven and we just talked 0:13:41.040 --> 0:13:43.760 to each other and we talk about what what we saw. 0:13:44.080 --> 0:13:45.679 M say, if I saw Awesome do something or if 0:13:45.679 --> 0:13:48.160 I saw saw do something different, like tell me, hey, 0:13:48.200 --> 0:13:49.800 like you try to do it that way where you 0:13:49.840 --> 0:13:51.440 did this, so you can improve, like saying with me 0:13:51.440 --> 0:13:52.560 like they do me the same way, you know, like 0:13:52.720 --> 0:13:55.160 maybe your feet coming too close together or something like that, 0:13:55.440 --> 0:13:57.560 and we just trying to fix it um like by 0:13:57.600 --> 0:13:59.000 doing that, so we just talked to trying to talk 0:13:59.000 --> 0:14:00.839 to each other. Up. I was gonna ask you, that's 0:14:00.880 --> 0:14:02.520 that's a good point there, because I was gonna ask you. 0:14:02.520 --> 0:14:05.440 The next question was, you know the Dolphins made a 0:14:05.520 --> 0:14:08.000 point as far as what Brian Floras and Chris Career 0:14:08.000 --> 0:14:10.520 and the coaching staff all says regarding the types of 0:14:10.559 --> 0:14:12.720 players they wanted to bring in this offseason guys that 0:14:12.960 --> 0:14:15.679 football was important to them. They can communicate. Did you 0:14:15.720 --> 0:14:18.560 recognize that pretty quickly in both Austin and Solomon as 0:14:18.559 --> 0:14:20.320 far as these guys are just dogs that want to 0:14:20.320 --> 0:14:23.920 get out there and grind. Of course, of course understand, 0:14:23.960 --> 0:14:28.040 and that's shoot with Austin Solomon, Brandon John's rep point 0:14:28.080 --> 0:14:30.440 although like everybody you know, and that's um the older 0:14:30.440 --> 0:14:34.280 guys as well. It's like everybody. Yet, um, everybody was excited, 0:14:34.320 --> 0:14:37.440 you know, attend to the detail was unreal. Everybody's just 0:14:37.480 --> 0:14:40.280 focus lying around. So I deinitely knows that fast. And 0:14:40.560 --> 0:14:43.280 you're still going on whatever week be and how kind 0:14:43.280 --> 0:14:48.360 of off the weeks where the team it all kind 0:14:48.360 --> 0:14:51.600 of blends together eventually, Man, is it is it important 0:14:51.640 --> 0:14:53.240 to you? Does it mean something special to you? To 0:14:53.280 --> 0:14:55.200 know that, like the three of you guys came in together, 0:14:55.520 --> 0:14:58.040 work together, and all got yourselves into positions now where 0:14:58.040 --> 0:15:02.920 you're all starting together. Um yeah, I mean it showed that, 0:15:03.080 --> 0:15:07.920 you know that they just I feel like we can play, 0:15:08.040 --> 0:15:10.920 you know. Um, I think that we worked hard and 0:15:11.360 --> 0:15:13.480 you know, like once our numbers called, we just try 0:15:13.520 --> 0:15:15.600 to get into compete. And I think that every time 0:15:15.640 --> 0:15:17.480 we have got a chance to get in and compete, 0:15:17.480 --> 0:15:19.080 I think we have done just that they haven't been 0:15:19.120 --> 0:15:21.720 perfect for use, but the chance that we have got 0:15:21.800 --> 0:15:23.400 to think that we have to kind of try to, um, 0:15:23.640 --> 0:15:26.560 take advantage of. And what about the tutelage of coach 0:15:26.600 --> 0:15:29.640 Steve Marshall, Because again, you guys, three rookies coming into 0:15:29.760 --> 0:15:32.160 an offensive line room that has a guy that's running 0:15:32.200 --> 0:15:34.480 the room and the offensive line coach and coach Marshall 0:15:34.680 --> 0:15:37.120 that has over forty years of football experience. Like what's 0:15:37.120 --> 0:15:39.440 that Ben? As far as him getting that that tutelage 0:15:39.440 --> 0:15:42.920 and that mentorship to you guys, it has been good. Um, 0:15:42.920 --> 0:15:45.000 he's he's he helped people a lot, you know, like 0:15:45.040 --> 0:15:46.840 he's like you said, it's been the game for forty years. 0:15:46.840 --> 0:15:49.520 He taught us a lot. Um, and I short stay 0:15:49.520 --> 0:15:51.760 in the NFL. And um also Lim like plushed with. 0:15:52.000 --> 0:15:54.640 He does a great job with us too. Um. He 0:15:54.760 --> 0:15:56.520 put us to the side. He makes sure we're working hard. 0:15:56.600 --> 0:15:58.640 He helps us with things you know that we want to, 0:15:58.640 --> 0:16:01.120 like stay at the prite he happens with. So I 0:16:01.160 --> 0:16:03.840 think it's a great room follow like great leaders, you know. 0:16:04.440 --> 0:16:07.240 So I'm curious Rob, because you know, obviously a generational 0:16:07.280 --> 0:16:10.160 gap there between you guys and Coach Marshall. Really the 0:16:10.240 --> 0:16:12.000 entire offensive line room. It's not like you guys have 0:16:12.080 --> 0:16:15.080 you know, a bunch of late thirties vets in that room, Like, 0:16:15.240 --> 0:16:17.320 is there ever moments where you guys have to show 0:16:17.360 --> 0:16:19.440 Coach Marshall like, Hey, this is what TikTok is, this 0:16:19.480 --> 0:16:21.240 is what snapchat is it. Are you guys doing that 0:16:21.440 --> 0:16:25.520 or not? That guy is the guy that teaches him 0:16:25.560 --> 0:16:28.680 all that I'm all that stuff that he always messes 0:16:28.760 --> 0:16:34.240 all about TikTok stuff about that. Is Coach receptive to 0:16:34.280 --> 0:16:35.680 it or is he kind of like throw throwing the 0:16:35.720 --> 0:16:40.120 hands like a humbug. Yeah, he's probably just like pums 0:16:40.200 --> 0:16:46.360 up man, like you don't really care. I guess every day. Yeah, well, shoot, 0:16:46.400 --> 0:16:48.160 I'm thirty three, and I'm ared that way. Maybe maybe 0:16:48.200 --> 0:16:50.600 it's my old soul heart there, but that's awesome to 0:16:50.640 --> 0:16:54.760 hear man. You mentioned coach Limb. Um you mentioned him, 0:16:54.880 --> 0:16:56.800 is he kind of acts like a conduit for like, 0:16:57.000 --> 0:16:59.120 you know that player experience and kind of the in 0:16:59.160 --> 0:17:01.280 between the rookies in the old grizzled vet there and 0:17:01.320 --> 0:17:04.560 coach Marshall. Like, what's his role in the room? Um 0:17:04.680 --> 0:17:07.120 limbro ro just like pretty much you just said, Um, 0:17:07.160 --> 0:17:08.719 he's the guy that played the game, you know how. 0:17:08.760 --> 0:17:12.240 It's gonna be very smart, really smart. Like he he's 0:17:12.359 --> 0:17:14.520 like he was legit a student of the game, but 0:17:14.600 --> 0:17:16.399 like a coach for him. He and he helps us 0:17:16.560 --> 0:17:18.120 um and puts us in the right spots. I think 0:17:18.160 --> 0:17:21.240 that um Limb does a fantastic job of what he 0:17:21.320 --> 0:17:23.119 does because with him does a fantastic job. And I 0:17:23.119 --> 0:17:25.720 think that we all appreciate him for what he does, 0:17:25.760 --> 0:17:29.040 you know, and that's like a lot a lot just 0:17:29.119 --> 0:17:32.280 behind the scenes, you know. Yeah, absolutely, Rob Hunt your 0:17:32.320 --> 0:17:35.399 Dolphins right tackle right now, rookie season, second round in 0:17:35.400 --> 0:17:37.719 this past draft, having a great year. Rob, appreciate your 0:17:37.720 --> 0:17:40.320 time today. Now let you get back to the Patriots preparations. 0:17:40.320 --> 0:17:43.000 We'll see out there on Sunday. All right, thank you man, 0:17:43.359 --> 0:17:45.359 And there he goes from the right tackle over to 0:17:45.400 --> 0:17:47.320 the left tackle. Let's go ahead and finish up these 0:17:47.320 --> 0:17:51.159 interviews with Dolphins rookie left tackle Austin Jackson. And joining 0:17:51.160 --> 0:17:54.359 me now is Dolphins rookie offensive lineman Austin Jackson, the 0:17:54.400 --> 0:17:58.600
