40
00:01:40,440 --> 00:01:42,720
Speaker 3: willing and able to do the same.

41
00:01:43,200 --> 00:01:46,119
Speaker 2: And we are, I'm sorry, as prepared as you always are.

42
00:01:46,280 --> 00:01:48,880
Speaker 6: Does the fact you didn't have that game last week

43
00:01:49,160 --> 00:01:51,200
Speaker 6: with this group for the first time, does that make

44
00:01:51,240 --> 00:01:52,160
Speaker 6: you more.

45
00:01:52,000 --> 00:01:53,800

Speaker 2: your belt with these guys.

47
00:01:54,920 --> 00:01:57,640
Speaker 3: I mean, the fact that I'm possibly getting Dearis slayback

48
00:01:58,240 --> 00:02:01,480
Speaker 3: is something that I'm excited about, uh, just to have

49
00:02:01,560 --> 00:02:06,120
Speaker 3: another target available because I think of what Isaiah did

50
00:02:06,240 --> 00:02:08,840
Speaker 3: last week of being here for you know, forty eight

51
00:02:08,840 --> 00:02:10,520
Speaker 3: hours and coming in to get some catches.

52
00:02:10,919 --> 00:02:12,160
Speaker 2: But these guys excited. Man.

53
00:02:12,200 --> 00:02:15,000
Speaker 3: What we're looking for is we're searching for our first

54
00:02:15,520 --> 00:02:18,640
Speaker 3: road win, right, and we're searching searching for our first.

55
00:02:18,440 --> 00:02:19,800
Speaker 2: Win in a very long time.

56
00:02:20,200 --> 00:02:24,000
Speaker 3: So our intention is focused on that, Uh, not on

57
00:02:24,320 --> 00:02:26,760
Speaker 3: who's playing and who's getting repped. This is about, man,

58
00:02:26,800 --> 00:02:29,760
Speaker 3: how can we how can we beat the Detroit Lions?

59
00:02:31,840 --> 00:02:34,840
Speaker 1: Last week was the first time offensive lines talk about.

60
00:02:34,720 --> 00:02:37,639
Speaker 2: Those guys up front there their their beasts. I think

61
00:02:37,720 --> 00:02:39,320
Speaker 2: all of us in this room.

62
00:02:39,160 --> 00:02:46,160
Speaker 3: Are confident behind Jermaine I, Lumini, Andrew Thomas, jms is

63
00:02:46,160 --> 00:02:48,440

00:02:52,000 --> 00:02:52,160
Speaker 2: Uh.

66
00:02:52,200 --> 00:02:54,920
Speaker 3: Those guys, they worked their butt off headed about a

67
00:02:55,000 --> 00:02:58,080
Speaker 3: great a great office line coach in Carmen man like

68
00:02:58,840 --> 00:03:01,520
Speaker 3: I always believe that all it's a line and have

69
00:03:01,560 --> 00:03:04,280
Speaker 3: to stick together. They have to be the best group,

70
00:03:04,440 --> 00:03:06,840
Speaker 3: and by far that's our best group and we lean

71
00:03:06,919 --> 00:03:07,200
Speaker 3: on them.

72
00:03:07,720 --> 00:03:10,000

Speaker 2: I just remember playing there.

102
00:04:11,920 --> 00:04:13,560
Speaker 3: It looks like a warehouse when you're walking in there,

103
00:04:13,640 --> 00:04:15,680
Speaker 3: walking in the warehouse, and you open up and you

104
00:04:15,720 --> 00:04:18,359
Speaker 3: see for it everywhere, and then you see blue everywhere,

105
00:04:18,400 --> 00:04:20,120
