I'm 3 00:00:06,800 --> 00:00:09,240 Speaker 1: trying to maintain that, working on Stratton and stuff like 4 00:00:09,240 --> 00:00:11,639 Speaker 1: that feels pretty good. At what point did you get, 5 00:00:12,280 --> 00:00:16,720 Speaker 1: you know, back on the field full like, not restricted 6 00:00:16,760 --> 00:00:18,680 Speaker 1: at all. They had a plan for for me and 7 00:00:18,800 --> 00:00:21,200 Speaker 1: um and O t a s. Um just followed that. 8 00:00:21,320 --> 00:00:23,480 Speaker 1: Um I was in a red jersey. I'm just working, 9 00:00:23,560 --> 00:00:24,880 Speaker 1: you know, trying to get better. And then they let 10 00:00:24,920 --> 00:00:27,360 Speaker 1: me go. Now you were you could do everything. When 11 00:00:27,400 --> 00:00:29,920 Speaker 1: he went back and trained and you know the last 12 00:00:30,040 --> 00:00:32,080 Speaker 1: six weeks or whatever, they had a plan set for me. 13 00:00:32,120 --> 00:00:33,960 Speaker 1: I just you know, follow what they told me to do. 14 00:00:33,960 --> 00:00:36,919 Speaker 1: He felt, have any question that on this day, day one, 15 00:00:37,000 --> 00:00:38,680 Speaker 1: you would not be on pupp and you'd be ready, 16 00:00:38,720 --> 00:00:40,920 Speaker 1: you know, full time. He said, Did you have any 17 00:00:41,280 --> 00:00:43,680 Speaker 1: doubts that you would be ready for day one of camping? 18 00:00:43,800 --> 00:00:45,440 Speaker 1: I would have any times. I was prepared, you know, 19 00:00:45,440 --> 00:00:47,760 Speaker 1: I had the plan set. UM I followed it, did 20 00:00:47,800 --> 00:00:49,559 Speaker 1: everything they asked me to do in them he practicing 21 00:00:49,680 --> 00:00:52,400 Speaker 1: day Andrew, when did you star like, when did you 22 00:00:52,440 --> 00:00:56,400 Speaker 1: lose the limp? When were you able to pass set without? Um? 23 00:00:56,480 --> 00:00:59,280 Speaker 1: I don't know exactly, UM the point in time, but 24 00:00:59,720 --> 00:01:02,440 Speaker 1: it's to progress. UM had some rest off when I 25 00:01:02,520 --> 00:01:04,600 Speaker 1: left here after O T A S and continue doing 26 00:01:04,640 --> 00:01:07,000 Speaker 1: treatment down there in Atlanta. UM, and it started to 27 00:01:07,000 --> 00:01:09,680 Speaker 1: get better. Do you feel like this kind of nagging 28 00:01:10,120 --> 00:01:12,520 Speaker 1: ankle deal is fully behind you now? Are? You're not 29 00:01:12,560 --> 00:01:14,840 Speaker 1: gonna know until you test it over the hall of 30 00:01:14,880 --> 00:01:17,800 Speaker 1: a regular season. I think it's a day by day thing. 31 00:01:18,080 --> 00:01:21,360 Speaker 1: UM had surgery obviously, so something that's gonna continue. You know, 32 00:01:21,400 --> 00:01:23,160 Speaker 1: I'm gonna work towards even when it's you know it's 33 00:01:23,200 --> 00:01:25,600 Speaker 1: feeling great, it's still gonna do my rehab and it's prehab. 34 00:01:25,680 --> 00:01:27,840 Speaker 1: Make sure you know shoraty for the season. Andrew, when 35 00:01:27,840 --> 00:01:30,120 Speaker 1: you rehab an fro Injrey, obviously it takes away from 36 00:01:30,120 --> 00:01:32,560 Speaker 1: your training. How much did that you know, the rehab? 37 00:01:32,920 --> 00:01:34,520 Speaker 1: I fet your training? Did you get done with your 38 00:01:34,520 --> 00:01:36,399 Speaker 1: morning to get done in the ass? Yeah, And the 39 00:01:36,400 --> 00:01:38,119 Speaker 1: early stage it is hard because you you know, early 40 00:01:38,120 --> 00:01:39,800 Speaker 1: in January when I first had it, I can't run 41 00:01:39,920 --> 00:01:42,480 Speaker 1: obviously and things like that. UM, when I could, I 42 00:01:42,520 --> 00:01:44,480 Speaker 1: did everything I could. UM, I worked hard. I did 43 00:01:44,480 --> 00:01:46,480 Speaker 1: a lot of balance and stuff like that to recover. 44 00:01:46,640 --> 00:01:49,000 Speaker 1: And then I feel like the hardest part is catching 45 00:01:49,080 --> 00:01:51,360 Speaker 1: up to the play because you can't. I learned well 46 00:01:51,400 --> 00:01:53,000 Speaker 1: by being on the field, so and OTA is not 47 00:01:53,040 --> 00:01:55,200 Speaker 1: being a run with the team and something to overcome. 48 00:01:55,240 --> 00:01:57,520 Speaker 1: But you know, I try to be as engaged as 49 00:01:57,600 --> 00:02:00,400 Speaker 1: much as possible in the meetings. Did you work on 50 00:02:00,400 --> 00:02:02,760 Speaker 1: that stuff while you're away from the facility? We did 51 00:02:02,760 --> 00:02:05,480 Speaker 1: you kind of have like more with a green light 52 00:02:05,560 --> 00:02:07,680 Speaker 1: to do some of that stuff, Like you're training down 53 00:02:07,720 --> 00:02:10,440 Speaker 1: in the Atlanta training So the physical therapist that I 54 00:02:10,480 --> 00:02:14,080 Speaker 1: had down there, they coordinated with the people up here, um, 55 00:02:14,080 --> 00:02:15,959 Speaker 1: telling me what I was stripping on, what I couldn't do, 56 00:02:16,000 --> 00:02:17,799 Speaker 1: and then on sad to playing like they you know, 57 00:02:17,919 --> 00:02:20,040 Speaker 1: let me do or need to do. And you're working working, 58 00:02:20,120 --> 00:02:24,920 Speaker 1: you ever to get busy this year moving forward? Um, Honestly, 59 00:02:24,919 --> 00:02:27,360 Speaker 1: I think our whole office line, we have some talented guys. 60 00:02:27,760 --> 00:02:29,600 Speaker 1: Um it's just day one, so right now we're just 61 00:02:29,600 --> 00:02:31,720 Speaker 1: trying to build that unity because you know that's that's 62 00:02:31,720 --> 00:02:33,880 Speaker 1: big in a office line. But Evan is a very 63 00:02:33,919 --> 00:02:36,799 Speaker 1: talented kid. Um physical freak, you know what I'm saying. 64 00:02:36,840 --> 00:02:38,320 Speaker 1: So once he once he gets it down, he's going 65 00:02:38,360 --> 00:02:39,919 Speaker 1: to be pretty good. When you look at him. What 66 00:02:40,320 --> 00:02:42,720 Speaker 1: do you see? But what do you seek that? Uh? 67 00:02:42,760 --> 00:02:44,800 Speaker 1: He just he just works hard every day. Um doesn't 68 00:02:44,800 --> 00:02:46,800 Speaker 1: say much. He puts his head down. If he has 69 00:02:46,800 --> 00:02:48,680 Speaker 1: as a question, he will ask it. But I mean 70 00:02:48,680 --> 00:02:50,760 Speaker 1: he just comes in and he works. You guys don't 71 00:02:50,760 --> 00:02:58,160 Speaker 1: play next to the year at zero bond down there. Honestly, 72 00:02:58,160 --> 00:03:00,400 Speaker 1: I think it's the whole office line. We're usually a 73 00:03:00,440 --> 00:03:02,640 Speaker 1: lot tighter than other groups. We spent a lot of 74 00:03:02,639 --> 00:03:04,760 Speaker 1: time together. Not like I said, it's just it's just 75 00:03:04,840 --> 00:03:06,600 Speaker 1: day one. But I think we're gonna, you know, we're 76 00:03:06,600 --> 00:03:08,200 Speaker 1: gonna go to dinner, We're gonna you know, talk, We're 77 00:03:08,200 --> 00:03:09,640 Speaker 1: gonna have a lot of time together, just to build 78 00:03:09,639 --> 00:03:12,560 Speaker 1: that unity. And what's the next benchmark for you to 79 00:03:12,600 --> 00:03:15,240 Speaker 1: put this nag and injury behind? Is there something that 80 00:03:15,320 --> 00:03:18,320 Speaker 1: you need to see. There's not really a benchmark. I'm 81 00:03:18,320 --> 00:03:19,960 Speaker 1: just you know, approaching every day, just trying to win 82 00:03:20,000 --> 00:03:22,680 Speaker 1: the day. UM, put today away, you know, watch the 83 00:03:22,680 --> 00:03:24,799 Speaker 1: film and get ready for tomorrow. That's that's the way 84 00:03:24,800 --> 00:03:26,880 Speaker 1: I go about it. How do you evaluate yourself when 85 00:03:26,919 --> 00:03:31,480 Speaker 1: you're not pass so right now it's a little different 86 00:03:31,520 --> 00:03:34,480 Speaker 1: because it's not full contact obviously, UM, you can't really 87 00:03:34,600 --> 00:03:36,800 Speaker 1: test your anchor as much. We don't have pass on 88 00:03:36,880 --> 00:03:40,160 Speaker 1: but mostly put the pass on. We'll see that you 89 00:03:40,320 --> 00:03:42,320 Speaker 1: you have a pretty good year last year, much better 90 00:03:42,320 --> 00:03:45,000 Speaker 1: obviously in the year before. You're probably top fifteen basketball atter, 91 00:03:45,120 --> 00:03:48,440 Speaker 1: So like, what are your expectations for perhaps being like 92 00:03:48,520 --> 00:03:52,800 Speaker 1: one of your League of the left caticles aside for 93 00:03:52,880 --> 00:03:55,360 Speaker 1: this year. Honestly, I'm just in a competition with myself. 94 00:03:55,840 --> 00:03:58,119 Speaker 1: There's a lot of things that I saw on film 95 00:03:58,160 --> 00:03:59,400 Speaker 1: last year and I need to clean up a lot 96 00:03:59,440 --> 00:04:01,360 Speaker 1: of things I want to get better at UM. And 97 00:04:01,360 --> 00:04:02,720 Speaker 1: then once I put that on film, I think I 98 00:04:02,720 --> 00:04:06,120 Speaker 1: would speak for yourself whatever. So just being consistent in 99 00:04:06,120 --> 00:04:09,720 Speaker 1: my set um I had, I made jumps from obviously 100 00:04:09,720 --> 00:04:11,800 Speaker 1: from or geared to last year, but there's been a 101 00:04:11,800 --> 00:04:14,240 Speaker 1: lot more consistent in my hand placement, UM, having a 102 00:04:14,240 --> 00:04:17,480 Speaker 1: stronger anchor at certain times, and just being more consistent overall. 103 00:04:18,520 --> 00:04:21,440 Speaker 1: It's a fourth row line coach, and in the third season, 104 00:04:21,760 --> 00:04:23,400 Speaker 1: what is Bobby asking you to do that Maybe you 105 00:04:23,400 --> 00:04:26,280 Speaker 1: didn't have to do the previous line of major adjustments. 106 00:04:26,480 --> 00:04:28,520 Speaker 1: So the scheme is a little different. The way we 107 00:04:28,600 --> 00:04:30,480 Speaker 1: approach it is just a little more aggressive in our 108 00:04:30,480 --> 00:04:32,560 Speaker 1: sets Um, some of my previous coaches, we had a 109 00:04:32,600 --> 00:04:35,680 Speaker 1: little more of a vertical set um in the run game. 110 00:04:35,760 --> 00:04:38,920 Speaker 1: Footwork is a little different, but the mentality is still 111 00:04:39,040 --> 00:04:40,760 Speaker 1: you know, to be physical would be to be dominated 112 00:04:40,839 --> 00:04:44,279 Speaker 1: up front. Is playing next to Shane just like getting 113 00:04:44,360 --> 00:04:46,640 Speaker 1: back on the bike or is there at a readjustment 114 00:04:46,680 --> 00:04:49,200 Speaker 1: grew you have to go through again? I mean and Shane, 115 00:04:49,240 --> 00:04:51,920 Speaker 1: we we built up some camaraderie, you know, playing together. Um, 116 00:04:52,240 --> 00:04:54,119 Speaker 1: we understand each other a little bit on the field, 117 00:04:54,120 --> 00:04:56,400 Speaker 1: so sometimes we don't have to communicate it just you know, 118 00:04:56,440 --> 00:04:59,600 Speaker 1: it just works. Well. What do you people with now 119 00:05:00,040 --> 00:05:02,440 Speaker 1: head yet? You know obviously, Um, but do you get 120 00:05:02,440 --> 00:05:04,360 Speaker 1: a sense, you know with the offensive line deal? What's 121 00:05:04,360 --> 00:05:06,600 Speaker 1: been around here for a while and even before you're 122 00:05:06,600 --> 00:05:10,640 Speaker 1: with her, you feel that this line will be what 123 00:05:10,760 --> 00:05:14,240 Speaker 1: Giant fans and what the giants themselves. And um, we're 124 00:05:14,240 --> 00:05:16,800 Speaker 1: just we're taking it one day at the time. Um. 125 00:05:16,800 --> 00:05:18,599 Speaker 1: Like I said, we have some talented guys in the room, 126 00:05:18,640 --> 00:05:20,919 Speaker 1: but um, it's just day one. So we're just working 127 00:05:20,920 --> 00:05:23,239 Speaker 1: and still trying to get the playbook down. Um, figured 128 00:05:23,279 --> 00:05:25,359 Speaker 1: our technique and coaches teaches us and just trying to 129 00:05:25,360 --> 00:05:27,560 Speaker 1: be as good as possible. What do you think this 130 00:05:27,680 --> 00:05:30,000 Speaker 1: line can be there? I mean with this group, with 131 00:05:30,640 --> 00:05:33,000 Speaker 1: with with the goal for you guys, I mean the 132 00:05:33,000 --> 00:05:34,520 Speaker 1: goal is to be dominant, you know, to be the 133 00:05:34,520 --> 00:05:36,960 Speaker 1: bell cows of the offense. UM, leave the guys protect 134 00:05:37,040 --> 00:05:39,479 Speaker 1: DJ so he can make you know, throws out of playmakers. 135 00:05:39,480 --> 00:05:42,880 Speaker 1: That's that's the goal. How do you get two more questions? 136 00:05:42,880 --> 00:05:44,919 Speaker 1: How do you get there to being delimitated? Well, just 137 00:05:44,960 --> 00:05:47,320 Speaker 1: the beginning, like I said, just the technique aspect of it. 138 00:05:47,400 --> 00:05:50,600 Speaker 1: Just learned the plays um garanerie. Like I talked about earlier, UM, 139 00:05:50,600 --> 00:05:51,960 Speaker 1: taking them one day at a time because there's a 140 00:05:52,000 --> 00:05:54,120 Speaker 1: lot of new guys coming together. So one day at 141 00:05:54,120 --> 00:05:56,200 Speaker 1: a time, extraally, meeting time, whatever we can do to 142 00:05:56,200 --> 00:06:01,000 Speaker 1: get better. It really the only hold over this offensive point. 143 00:06:01,000 --> 00:06:04,200 Speaker 1: Do you feel right? This is your offensive line? You're 144 00:06:04,279 --> 00:06:06,800 Speaker 1: the leader of this group. Um. Not necessarily that his 145 00:06:06,880 --> 00:06:08,919 Speaker 1: my office alone. But this year I am trying to 146 00:06:08,920 --> 00:06:11,200 Speaker 1: take more of a leadership role. UM. Just you know, 147 00:06:11,240 --> 00:06:12,640 Speaker 1: it was a little harder than O t A's not 148 00:06:12,680 --> 00:06:14,760 Speaker 1: being out there, but UM when I'm out there now, 149 00:06:14,880 --> 00:06:16,160 Speaker 1: just trying to be a little bit more vocal and 150 00:06:16,480 --> 00:06:18,479 Speaker 1: lead with you know, how I practice, how did you 151 00:06:18,520 --> 00:06:21,360 Speaker 1: think the offense did today. I think, for the first day, 152 00:06:21,440 --> 00:06:23,520 Speaker 1: pretty good. Um, some things to clean up, definitely, but 153 00:06:24,200 --> 00:06:26,440 Speaker 1: we didn't even have meetings this morning, so um, for 154 00:06:26,480 --> 00:06:30,600 Speaker 1: the first thing, I think pretty good. M.
