Yes? 8 00:00:18,960 --> 00:00:21,160 Speaker 1: So I appreciate you guys letting me come on with 9 00:00:21,200 --> 00:00:24,480 Speaker 1: you today. I'm back in Omaha, Nebraska right now, staying 10 00:00:24,480 --> 00:00:29,600 Speaker 1: in my mom and dad's place, just quarantine here. But 11 00:00:29,680 --> 00:00:33,200 Speaker 1: it sounds like I've got some planned scheduled to come 12 00:00:33,200 --> 00:00:36,720 Speaker 1: back to Buffalo here real soon, even with you know, 13 00:00:37,080 --> 00:00:39,640 Speaker 1: all of us possibly coming on the eighteenth, although we 14 00:00:39,680 --> 00:00:43,239 Speaker 1: don't know how sure that really is. I'm gonna be 15 00:00:43,320 --> 00:00:47,440 Speaker 1: up there fairly soon with some you know, exemptions due 16 00:00:47,440 --> 00:00:49,200 Speaker 1: to my rehab that would allow me in the building 17 00:00:49,200 --> 00:00:51,800 Speaker 1: if other players wouldn't so excited to get back up 18 00:00:51,800 --> 00:00:56,320 Speaker 1: in Western New York soon. How's your rehab going, You know, 19 00:00:56,480 --> 00:00:59,680 Speaker 1: it's coming along pretty good. I've really made some strides 20 00:00:59,680 --> 00:01:03,080 Speaker 1: in the last six weeks or so where I'm kind 21 00:01:03,080 --> 00:01:05,840 Speaker 1: of feeling like a football player again. You know, I'm 22 00:01:05,840 --> 00:01:09,000 Speaker 1: starting to do football drills as opposed to just straight 23 00:01:09,040 --> 00:01:12,640 Speaker 1: line springing, running the hoop pass, Russian on air or 24 00:01:12,680 --> 00:01:18,480 Speaker 1: on bags, things like that. So you know, it's it's 25 00:01:18,480 --> 00:01:21,160 Speaker 1: exciting to be out there moving again and feeling fluid. 26 00:01:21,560 --> 00:01:23,720 Speaker 1: But I'm also very happy that I still got four 27 00:01:23,760 --> 00:01:28,639 Speaker 1: months until season starts. There's really you're kind of training 28 00:01:28,760 --> 00:01:30,920 Speaker 1: with high school teammates right there in Omaha, and you're 29 00:01:30,959 --> 00:01:34,360 Speaker 1: training at a former high school teammates Jim. I guess 30 00:01:34,400 --> 00:01:37,720 Speaker 1: it adds in his house. Huh. Yeah. So I was 31 00:01:37,840 --> 00:01:40,600 Speaker 1: fortunate enough that when I decided when everything went down 32 00:01:40,640 --> 00:01:43,080 Speaker 1: in Buffalo, you know, I was up there and when 33 00:01:43,120 --> 00:01:45,119 Speaker 1: the Bills didn't let us in the building and everything 34 00:01:45,160 --> 00:01:47,080 Speaker 1: in the city was shutting down. I mean I literally 35 00:01:47,160 --> 00:01:49,600 Speaker 1: had zero access to a weight room. So I came 36 00:01:49,680 --> 00:01:51,760 Speaker 1: back home knowing that one of my best friends here 37 00:01:51,760 --> 00:01:55,600 Speaker 1: in Omaha has a full blown weight room in his basement. 38 00:01:55,640 --> 00:02:00,680 Speaker 1: I mean, you know, rack thumbells up, two hundreds lappole bounds, machine, cardio, 39 00:02:01,000 --> 00:02:04,400 Speaker 1: all this fantastic stuff, and so I was able to 40 00:02:04,480 --> 00:02:07,919 Speaker 1: use that, and I have the key to an indoor field. 41 00:02:07,960 --> 00:02:10,400 Speaker 1: The soccer field that's indoors, so for the days that 42 00:02:10,480 --> 00:02:13,760 Speaker 1: it's raining and cold here in Nebraska. I was given 43 00:02:13,800 --> 00:02:15,760 Speaker 1: the access code to do my running stuff in there 44 00:02:15,840 --> 00:02:17,600 Speaker 1: if I if I don't do it at just the 45 00:02:17,680 --> 00:02:21,160 Speaker 1: outside high school. So I have a pretty good routine going. 46 00:02:21,320 --> 00:02:24,160 Speaker 1: And uh, you know, I was very very nervous when 47 00:02:24,200 --> 00:02:26,320 Speaker 1: this whole thing broke down, you know, thinking, hey, how 48 00:02:26,360 --> 00:02:29,359 Speaker 1: am I gonna get myself ready for this? And as 49 00:02:29,400 --> 00:02:31,079 Speaker 1: it turned out, you know, God had a way and 50 00:02:31,760 --> 00:02:35,280 Speaker 1: been crossing and checking off a lot of boxes of 51 00:02:35,639 --> 00:02:38,959 Speaker 1: my rehab here. Harrison. I remember seeing you in the 52 00:02:39,080 --> 00:02:41,639 Speaker 1: field house rehabbing during the off season, early in the 53 00:02:41,720 --> 00:02:45,040 Speaker 1: off season before we were all sequestered away in January February, 54 00:02:45,440 --> 00:02:47,680 Speaker 1: and I got to be honest with you, not for nothing. 55 00:02:48,040 --> 00:02:50,919 Speaker 1: I was watching your work out and I couldn't tell 56 00:02:51,040 --> 00:02:53,280 Speaker 1: which leg was injured. When I saw your running and 57 00:02:53,360 --> 00:02:55,880 Speaker 1: doing your drills and stuff, you looked really good to me. 58 00:02:56,840 --> 00:02:59,959 Speaker 1: Remind me, you've been through this injury before, which knee 59 00:03:00,120 --> 00:03:03,720 Speaker 1: is injured this time and is at the same knee. Yeah, 60 00:03:04,240 --> 00:03:07,480 Speaker 1: so I got hurt six years ago, I think it 61 00:03:07,639 --> 00:03:10,280 Speaker 1: is five and a half years ago with my left AFL. 62 00:03:10,840 --> 00:03:15,160 Speaker 1: That was I retour that left ACL. So what made 63 00:03:15,240 --> 00:03:17,040 Speaker 1: this one a little bit trickier and the rehab a 64 00:03:17,120 --> 00:03:20,160 Speaker 1: little longer than your normal six seven eight months plan 65 00:03:20,800 --> 00:03:23,079 Speaker 1: was that because it was my second tier, they had 66 00:03:23,120 --> 00:03:25,480 Speaker 1: to go into my right leg, which had nothing wrong 67 00:03:25,560 --> 00:03:28,480 Speaker 1: with it, to take out my Patel attendant because that's 68 00:03:28,480 --> 00:03:30,639 Speaker 1: what I had used already five or six years ago. 69 00:03:30,840 --> 00:03:33,760 Speaker 1: So I ended up having surgery on both of my knees. 70 00:03:34,440 --> 00:03:37,080 Speaker 1: And that's why the rehab is so much longer. You know, 71 00:03:37,160 --> 00:03:38,880 Speaker 1: if a normal person had to come in and do 72 00:03:39,440 --> 00:03:42,080 Speaker 1: two hours of lifting for their leg, while I was 73 00:03:42,200 --> 00:03:44,880 Speaker 1: doing having to do almost four hours of lifting because 74 00:03:44,880 --> 00:03:47,040 Speaker 1: I was rehabbing both of the legs as if it 75 00:03:47,160 --> 00:03:50,640 Speaker 1: was an ACL injury. So definitely a lot of hours 76 00:03:50,720 --> 00:03:52,760 Speaker 1: spent grinding and getting back and it's sure going to 77 00:03:52,840 --> 00:03:58,080 Speaker 1: make this season a lot sweeter. Harrison. Harrison unfortunate to 78 00:03:58,160 --> 00:04:00,520 Speaker 1: get injured, and especially where you were at. You got 79 00:04:00,600 --> 00:04:02,280 Speaker 1: hurt in the Bengals game, I believe, right the home 80 00:04:02,360 --> 00:04:04,600 Speaker 1: opener last year, you were off to a great start 81 00:04:04,640 --> 00:04:07,160 Speaker 1: against the Jets and the Giants, and it appeared that 82 00:04:07,240 --> 00:04:09,560 Speaker 1: you had done a lot to get yourself. Freddie last 83 00:04:09,560 --> 00:04:12,400 Speaker 1: September for your second season in the NFL. They'd had 84 00:04:12,440 --> 00:04:14,480 Speaker 1: to hurt a little bit to lose all that work 85 00:04:14,560 --> 00:04:18,840 Speaker 1: with an injury like that. Huh absolutely. I mean, you know, 86 00:04:18,960 --> 00:04:20,800 Speaker 1: I want to try to pride myself and being the 87 00:04:20,880 --> 00:04:23,360 Speaker 1: hardest book on the team and doing always doing more. 88 00:04:23,440 --> 00:04:26,000 Speaker 1: And you know, when the season stopped after my rookie year, 89 00:04:26,040 --> 00:04:28,400 Speaker 1: I took less than one week off and started two 90 00:04:28,520 --> 00:04:31,279 Speaker 1: days and was, you know, lifting in the mornings, running 91 00:04:31,279 --> 00:04:35,000 Speaker 1: in the afternoons, wrestling with my high school, helping them out, 92 00:04:35,080 --> 00:04:37,919 Speaker 1: doing two and three days as early as like middle 93 00:04:37,960 --> 00:04:41,080 Speaker 1: of January, and did that through the whole offseason. Did 94 00:04:41,160 --> 00:04:44,320 Speaker 1: put myself in a really solid position to earn some 95 00:04:44,440 --> 00:04:47,200 Speaker 1: of those significant playing time, you know, the third down rushes, 96 00:04:47,240 --> 00:04:49,880 Speaker 1: and you know, getting my snap count up and up 97 00:04:49,920 --> 00:04:53,120 Speaker 1: and playing sixty seventy percent of a game. And I 98 00:04:53,240 --> 00:04:55,719 Speaker 1: really thought everything was coming together for me as a player. 99 00:04:56,000 --> 00:04:59,600 Speaker 1: What's unfortunate for me is that I still just haven't 100 00:04:59,680 --> 00:05:02,360 Speaker 1: found my feeling in the NFL. I just don't know 101 00:05:03,000 --> 00:05:05,720 Speaker 1: how good of a player I can be. Obviously, you 102 00:05:05,800 --> 00:05:07,720 Speaker 1: know those first two or three games, I put some 103 00:05:07,839 --> 00:05:10,160 Speaker 1: good stuff on film, but I was just I mean, 104 00:05:10,200 --> 00:05:12,080 Speaker 1: everyone knows you get better at the season goes on. 105 00:05:12,240 --> 00:05:15,400 Speaker 1: Every every good player should and so you know, it's 106 00:05:15,600 --> 00:05:18,920 Speaker 1: it sucks, but it's also encouraging to me that I 107 00:05:19,080 --> 00:05:20,760 Speaker 1: know that I could come back and be the player 108 00:05:20,800 --> 00:05:25,440 Speaker 1: I showed and that really myself, the coaches, other coaches, 109 00:05:25,560 --> 00:05:28,400 Speaker 1: other players, no one really knows how good I can be. 110 00:05:28,680 --> 00:05:31,080 Speaker 1: And there's some excitement to that knowing that this off 111 00:05:31,120 --> 00:05:33,680 Speaker 1: season I'm working at everything I can and even through 112 00:05:33,720 --> 00:05:35,520 Speaker 1: this season and in the next season, because you know, 113 00:05:35,640 --> 00:05:37,400 Speaker 1: sometimes it takes more than a full year to get 114 00:05:37,440 --> 00:05:40,040 Speaker 1: to your true self. So you know, for the next 115 00:05:40,240 --> 00:05:43,760 Speaker 1: year or so, I'm super optimistic about you know, let's 116 00:05:43,800 --> 00:05:45,839 Speaker 1: go find out how good of a football player Harrison 117 00:05:45,839 --> 00:05:48,560 Speaker 1: Phillips can be for the Buffalo Bills. Now you mentioned 118 00:05:48,600 --> 00:05:50,720 Speaker 1: a moment ago. May eighteenth is a kind of a 119 00:05:51,120 --> 00:05:53,920 Speaker 1: penciled in date on the calendar where they may let 120 00:05:54,080 --> 00:05:56,840 Speaker 1: certain people back into the facility. You're talking about maybe 121 00:05:56,880 --> 00:05:59,960 Speaker 1: the players coming back May eighteenth. In the NFL, you're 122 00:06:00,200 --> 00:06:02,880 Speaker 1: coming back a little sooner. What is the level of 123 00:06:02,960 --> 00:06:07,800 Speaker 1: optimism about how soon the team can get together. You know, 124 00:06:08,080 --> 00:06:11,800 Speaker 1: it's tough because as coaches and anybody dealing with the 125 00:06:11,960 --> 00:06:16,360 Speaker 1: NFL teams, you've got to keep guys, you know, anticipating 126 00:06:16,440 --> 00:06:18,920 Speaker 1: our return. If we are back in the building full go, 127 00:06:19,200 --> 00:06:21,839 Speaker 1: all ninety one of us or whatever on May eighteen, 128 00:06:22,279 --> 00:06:24,600 Speaker 1: will guys better be doing their workouts now, better be 129 00:06:24,720 --> 00:06:26,880 Speaker 1: running gass, and better be getting in shape for getting 130 00:06:26,920 --> 00:06:29,680 Speaker 1: on the field and doing football. And so that's really 131 00:06:29,720 --> 00:06:32,599 Speaker 1: important for us to hear that, which is keeping us 132 00:06:32,640 --> 00:06:35,960 Speaker 1: motivated and getting excited. But as you know, you can't 133 00:06:36,000 --> 00:06:38,160 Speaker 1: have a competitive advantage, So that would mean all thirty 134 00:06:38,200 --> 00:06:40,520 Speaker 1: two NFL teams need to be those cities need to 135 00:06:40,520 --> 00:06:44,160 Speaker 1: be healthy enough to allow gatherings of ninety people. If 136 00:06:44,200 --> 00:06:46,040 Speaker 1: that happened for the next two weeks, I think we're 137 00:06:46,040 --> 00:06:48,599 Speaker 1: all going to be very happy. If it doesn't, well, 138 00:06:48,640 --> 00:06:51,240 Speaker 1: then you know, the nfl PA and the NFL have 139 00:06:51,400 --> 00:06:54,400 Speaker 1: already come together when we started the virtual OTA period 140 00:06:54,480 --> 00:06:57,640 Speaker 1: and mentioned if that can't happen, we'll just resume with 141 00:06:57,839 --> 00:07:01,719 Speaker 1: virtual OTAs for the remainder. Um. I think it's great 142 00:07:01,760 --> 00:07:03,320 Speaker 1: that the league is going to you know, release our 143 00:07:03,360 --> 00:07:07,040 Speaker 1: schedule and start getting people really excited about season. Um. 144 00:07:07,320 --> 00:07:10,920 Speaker 1: You know, and uh, I definitely hope that everything works out. 145 00:07:11,000 --> 00:07:13,040 Speaker 1: But you know, the way that Brandon and Shawn are 146 00:07:13,120 --> 00:07:16,280 Speaker 1: whatever way that we can get a competitive advantage, we will. 147 00:07:16,400 --> 00:07:19,440 Speaker 1: And so if it's through these virtual OTAs, you know, 148 00:07:19,480 --> 00:07:20,760 Speaker 1: we're still going to try to find a way to 149 00:07:20,840 --> 00:07:25,000 Speaker 1: come together and build this year's team. Identity Harrison Phillips 150 00:07:25,040 --> 00:07:27,480 Speaker 1: our guests, Bill's defensive tackle Bills have made a lot 151 00:07:27,520 --> 00:07:29,960 Speaker 1: of changes, a lot of additions the personnel wise, in 152 00:07:29,960 --> 00:07:32,360 Speaker 1: the last couple of months, Harrison, and I understand you've 153 00:07:32,400 --> 00:07:34,760 Speaker 1: taken it upon yourself to kind of welcome those guys 154 00:07:35,120 --> 00:07:36,880 Speaker 1: to the team.

This offseason, Harrison, you 188 00:09:04,559 --> 00:09:06,760 Speaker 1: donated six hundred and fifty meals for those working on 189 00:09:06,800 --> 00:09:09,440 Speaker 1: the front lines with Buffalo General Medical Center and Millard 190 00:09:09,480 --> 00:09:14,480 Speaker 1: Fillmore Suburban Hospital. This also marks the beginning of Nurses Week. 191 00:09:15,040 --> 00:09:18,000 Speaker 1: Why is it so special or important to you to 192 00:09:18,160 --> 00:09:20,160 Speaker 1: take care of the medical industry and the people who 193 00:09:20,280 --> 00:09:23,319 Speaker 1: take care of so many of us? Well, I think 194 00:09:23,480 --> 00:09:25,600 Speaker 1: first and foremost, like you said, you know, these guys 195 00:09:25,640 --> 00:09:28,000 Speaker 1: are out there fighting on the front line. You know, 196 00:09:28,120 --> 00:09:30,120 Speaker 1: doctors and nurses have been having a tuft of the 197 00:09:30,240 --> 00:09:33,079 Speaker 1: last quite a while now, and so I wanted to 198 00:09:33,120 --> 00:09:34,880 Speaker 1: get involved, and I wanted to figure out the best 199 00:09:34,920 --> 00:09:38,360 Speaker 1: play for me to get involved. And like you mentioned it, well, 200 00:09:38,480 --> 00:09:40,760 Speaker 1: you know I donated these meals and all the work 201 00:09:40,840 --> 00:09:43,000 Speaker 1: I do in Buffalo. You know, I love doing my time. 202 00:09:43,080 --> 00:09:46,360 Speaker 1: I love going places and you know, visiting the hospital. 203 00:09:46,520 --> 00:09:48,559 Speaker 1: Whatever I can do to volunteer, I love to do. Well. 204 00:09:48,600 --> 00:09:50,079 Speaker 1: This is one of those times where it was time 205 00:09:50,120 --> 00:09:52,199 Speaker 1: to kind of get financially involved and do something, you know, 206 00:09:52,440 --> 00:09:55,679 Speaker 1: a kind of donation, and so it stepped up to 207 00:09:55,720 --> 00:09:57,959 Speaker 1: the plate like some of the other guys in the organization. 208 00:09:58,400 --> 00:10:00,280 Speaker 1: And the only thing that I would I'd like to 209 00:10:00,360 --> 00:10:02,040 Speaker 1: know too it's a little different, is I got my 210 00:10:02,080 --> 00:10:04,679 Speaker 1: Playmakers involved, which is my nonprofit where I deal with 211 00:10:04,800 --> 00:10:08,160 Speaker 1: kids with special needs and developmental differences, and so I 212 00:10:08,320 --> 00:10:10,320 Speaker 1: spent out videos to all of them and their families 213 00:10:10,480 --> 00:10:13,880 Speaker 1: encouraging them. If you guys do a chore this week 214 00:10:14,320 --> 00:10:16,319 Speaker 1: around the house, mom and dads, you pick it out, 215 00:10:16,400 --> 00:10:19,559 Speaker 1: I'll pay you guys ten dollars to do that chore. However, 216 00:10:20,120 --> 00:10:21,880 Speaker 1: that ten dollars is going to be in the form 217 00:10:21,920 --> 00:10:24,320 Speaker 1: of a donation to help feed a doctor or a nurse. 218 00:10:24,480 --> 00:10:26,559 Speaker 1: And so we got back over you know, fifty or 219 00:10:26,640 --> 00:10:29,840 Speaker 1: seventy five videos from these families and pictures of kids 220 00:10:29,920 --> 00:10:32,680 Speaker 1: doing the dishes, of kids folding their laundry, of kids 221 00:10:32,720 --> 00:10:36,080 Speaker 1: mowing the lawn and dusting all these things around the house. 222 00:10:36,360 --> 00:10:38,559 Speaker 1: So we're teaching these kids to pay it forward and 223 00:10:38,600 --> 00:10:40,920 Speaker 1: to give back as well. And then the last thing 224 00:10:41,080 --> 00:10:45,360 Speaker 1: is because it's nurses Week. You know, my aunt, my 225 00:10:45,520 --> 00:10:47,760 Speaker 1: mom's sister, who lives here in Omaha, is a nurse 226 00:10:47,800 --> 00:10:49,720 Speaker 1: and has done in the healthcare industry for over twenty 227 00:10:49,760 --> 00:10:52,439 Speaker 1: five years. And so it does hit home for me 228 00:10:52,520 --> 00:10:56,000 Speaker 1: as well. It's kind of amazing. Harrison I got a 229 00:10:56,080 --> 00:10:58,959 Speaker 1: saying and Sean McDermott, he was on our show last week, 230 00:10:59,000 --> 00:11:01,880 Speaker 1: made a point of saying how he's encouraging his players 231 00:11:01,960 --> 00:11:05,160 Speaker 1: to quote find a way to get things done, workouts 232 00:11:05,200 --> 00:11:09,000 Speaker 1: and studying the playbook. You've found a way not just 233 00:11:09,120 --> 00:11:10,920 Speaker 1: to do the football work, what to do all these 234 00:11:11,000 --> 00:11:13,640 Speaker 1: other offseason things too during the really difficult time. That's 235 00:11:13,880 --> 00:11:17,480 Speaker 1: that's admirable. I salute you for that. Yeah, I appreciate him. 236 00:11:17,520 --> 00:11:20,079 Speaker 1: We're actually doing it here in Omaha. I just spent 237 00:11:20,160 --> 00:11:24,319 Speaker 1: out a video to my playmakers in Omaha today this morning, 238 00:11:24,520 --> 00:11:26,760 Speaker 1: and they have the next week to send in any 239 00:11:26,800 --> 00:11:29,120 Speaker 1: of their videos of them doing stuff and helping others, 240 00:11:29,400 --> 00:11:31,920 Speaker 1: and then I'll be donating meals a few hundred meals 241 00:11:31,960 --> 00:11:35,840 Speaker 1: to two of the hospitals here in Omaha. Harrison, one 242 00:11:36,040 --> 00:11:39,120 Speaker 1: last thing, Harrison, have you had and getting back to footballing, 243 00:11:39,240 --> 00:11:41,400 Speaker 1: just to wind it up here, have you had any 244 00:11:41,440 --> 00:11:44,280 Speaker 1: interaction with your new defensive line coach Eric Washington.

The 249 00:11:56,800 --> 00:11:59,719 Speaker 1: majority of those meetings are with the defensive line. So 250 00:12:00,040 --> 00:12:02,079 Speaker 1: in a zoom meeting with you know, all seventeen of 251 00:12:02,160 --> 00:12:05,360 Speaker 1: us or whatever there is, um and Coach Washington's leading them. 252 00:12:05,760 --> 00:12:07,640 Speaker 1: And you know, talking about a guy who's been a 253 00:12:07,679 --> 00:12:10,439 Speaker 1: defensive coordinator and worked his way up. You know, Ben 254 00:12:10,600 --> 00:12:13,199 Speaker 1: been all across the league, been in Pro Bowls, you know, 255 00:12:13,280 --> 00:12:15,719 Speaker 1: the whole work. So, um, it's great to have a 256 00:12:15,760 --> 00:12:18,199 Speaker 1: new guy in and a whole new perspective. And you know, 257 00:12:18,280 --> 00:12:20,760 Speaker 1: he had a phone call with me where you know, 258 00:12:20,840 --> 00:12:23,000 Speaker 1: he told me, hey, look, with how powerful you are 259 00:12:23,080 --> 00:12:25,120 Speaker 1: and how strong of a player you are, you know, 260 00:12:25,200 --> 00:12:27,679 Speaker 1: we can really get your play even up from what 261 00:12:27,760 --> 00:12:30,040 Speaker 1: I've seen on tape. And that just excited me and 262 00:12:30,160 --> 00:12:31,920 Speaker 1: motivated me to have a guy come in and not 263 00:12:32,280 --> 00:12:34,160 Speaker 1: pat me on the back and say, hey, you're a 264 00:12:34,240 --> 00:12:36,720 Speaker 1: great player.

And so to have that motivation and 267 00:12:41,360 --> 00:12:45,400 Speaker 1: accountability in the room is super awesome. And also, you know, 268 00:12:45,440 --> 00:12:47,520 Speaker 1: aside from a new defensive line coach, we have these 269 00:12:47,600 --> 00:12:50,719 Speaker 1: new free agents, some guys who've played legitimate football and 270 00:12:50,840 --> 00:12:52,680 Speaker 1: you know, earned the right to for their pay days, 271 00:12:52,720 --> 00:12:55,640 Speaker 1: and so we have a lot of competition in the room. 272 00:12:56,280 --> 00:12:58,000 Speaker 1: M you know, I don't think anything is given at 273 00:12:58,040 --> 00:13:01,960 Speaker 1: this point, so it's going to be a very fun 274 00:13:02,080 --> 00:13:04,600 Speaker 1: competition and a very good brotherhood to be a part 275 00:13:04,640 --> 00:13:08,240 Speaker 1: of Iron Sharp AND's Iron and we believe the defensive 276 00:13:08,280 --> 00:13:09,679 Speaker 1: line is the tip of the spear, so we got 277 00:13:09,720 --> 00:13:13,199 Speaker 1: to make sure we're in tip top shape and leading them.
