Good, good, How are you guys all right? 2 00:00:04,960 --> 00:00:06,640 Speaker 2: As a transition been so far? 3 00:00:06,800 --> 00:00:09,959 Speaker 1: Yeah, it's been good. It's it's all new, right, spent 4 00:00:10,039 --> 00:00:13,159 Speaker 1: the last six years elsewhere. Uh so right now it's 5 00:00:13,200 --> 00:00:15,200 Speaker 1: just getting to know everyone. You know, this coaching staff, 6 00:00:15,240 --> 00:00:18,200 Speaker 1: this locker room, all you guys, all the support staff. 7 00:00:18,760 --> 00:00:21,840 Speaker 1: But but it's good. It's uh my wife and my 8 00:00:21,920 --> 00:00:24,840 Speaker 1: daughter are not here right now for OTAs, so it's 9 00:00:24,840 --> 00:00:27,840 Speaker 1: a good time to get to know everyone, hang out 10 00:00:27,840 --> 00:00:31,880 Speaker 1: with them outside the building, work together. So it's it'll 11 00:00:31,920 --> 00:00:34,640 Speaker 1: be a process, but it'll be good. Part of what 12 00:00:34,800 --> 00:00:37,920 Speaker 1: group it's growing to s Stephen And how much did. 13 00:00:37,840 --> 00:00:38,720 Speaker 2: You know about Han't been? 14 00:00:38,720 --> 00:00:41,720 Speaker 1: Maybe his latest year round here. Yeah, I've heard. I've 15 00:00:41,760 --> 00:00:43,520 Speaker 1: heard nothing but good things from guys that have played 16 00:00:43,520 --> 00:00:46,000 Speaker 1: with him, guys that know him. I have a lot 17 00:00:46,040 --> 00:00:47,920 Speaker 1: of respect for him. He played a long time in 18 00:00:47,920 --> 00:00:50,520 Speaker 1: this league at the same place, in the same city. 19 00:00:51,840 --> 00:00:53,840 Speaker 1: I've heard the stuff he's done outside in the community. 20 00:00:54,720 --> 00:00:57,880 Speaker 1: I think his play speaks for itself. When you're the 21 00:00:57,920 --> 00:01:00,000 Speaker 1: guy at one position in one city for ten years, 22 00:01:00,200 --> 00:01:04,520 Speaker 1: that's you tip your cap to him. So look forward 23 00:01:04,560 --> 00:01:07,479 Speaker 1: maybe getting to know him or introduce myself to him. 24 00:01:07,600 --> 00:01:10,560 Speaker 1: But yeah, I have nothing but good things in respect 25 00:01:10,560 --> 00:01:12,440 Speaker 1: to say about a guy like that. Lets you know 26 00:01:12,520 --> 00:01:17,320 Speaker 1: about drink Ny and you're yeah, I love Drake so far. 27 00:01:17,560 --> 00:01:21,440 Speaker 1: It's kind of a weird family connection. My brother in 28 00:01:21,520 --> 00:01:25,040 Speaker 1: law's baseball player played with his brother Cole at Florida 29 00:01:25,520 --> 00:01:28,240 Speaker 1: and they're best friends. So I was going through the 30 00:01:28,240 --> 00:01:31,000 Speaker 1: free agency process. They were all like New England, New England, 31 00:01:31,000 --> 00:01:34,760 Speaker 1: New England. So it got to know him a little bit. 32 00:01:34,840 --> 00:01:37,200 Speaker 1: Played some competitive ping pong with him, so there will 33 00:01:37,200 --> 00:01:40,040 Speaker 1: be some There'll be some battles in the future. He 34 00:01:40,200 --> 00:01:41,800 Speaker 1: likes to golf, so we'll probably get on a golf 35 00:01:41,840 --> 00:01:44,760 Speaker 1: course or in OTA's. But yeah, it's it's getting to 36 00:01:44,840 --> 00:01:48,840 Speaker 1: know the guys. It's building relationships, connections. Uh So I'm 37 00:01:48,840 --> 00:01:50,280 Speaker 1: looking forward to that the next couple of months. 38 00:01:51,520 --> 00:01:55,000 Speaker 2: We talked to some guys about new traction and coachings. 39 00:01:55,040 --> 00:01:57,320 Speaker 1: One games in the last two years. For you, what 40 00:01:57,680 --> 00:02:00,520 Speaker 1: was the thing that kind of you to this, Frank, Yeah, 41 00:02:00,600 --> 00:02:04,040 Speaker 1: you know, I think nothing in the past matters, right, 42 00:02:04,120 --> 00:02:06,120 Speaker 1: you live in the president in this league. No matter 43 00:02:06,200 --> 00:02:08,120 Speaker 1: what you've done, good or bad in the past matters. 44 00:02:08,280 --> 00:02:09,799 Speaker 1: It's what can you do for me now? What have 45 00:02:09,880 --> 00:02:13,359 Speaker 1: you done for me lately, and I think it's exciting 46 00:02:13,480 --> 00:02:15,760 Speaker 1: to come into a new place with a new staff 47 00:02:15,800 --> 00:02:19,480 Speaker 1: as well. Right, it's I've had teammates that played for 48 00:02:19,639 --> 00:02:22,720 Speaker 1: coach for abel and have nothing but awesome things to 49 00:02:22,760 --> 00:02:25,440 Speaker 1: say about them. That's what my first signed here. Everyone 50 00:02:25,480 --> 00:02:28,600 Speaker 1: reached out like you're gonna love coach, and so it's 51 00:02:28,680 --> 00:02:30,919 Speaker 1: new for not just me. Right, it's not like this 52 00:02:31,560 --> 00:02:33,880 Speaker 1: staff and this system has been here for years. It's 53 00:02:34,200 --> 00:02:36,040 Speaker 1: all right, let's all work together. It's new for a 54 00:02:36,080 --> 00:02:39,280 Speaker 1: lot of people. Let's learn the system, learn each other 55 00:02:40,240 --> 00:02:43,320 Speaker 1: and work to win games. So that was attractive, right, 56 00:02:43,480 --> 00:02:46,880 Speaker 1: It's it's just it's new, and so it's like, all right, 57 00:02:46,960 --> 00:02:50,120 Speaker 1: let's all learn this together. From some of the defensive 58 00:02:50,120 --> 00:02:53,200 Speaker 1: players on Tuesday that they've already started some installed on 59 00:02:53,360 --> 00:02:54,240 Speaker 1: their concepts. 60 00:02:54,760 --> 00:02:57,200 Speaker 3: Are you doing that on the offensive side, and what 61 00:02:57,280 --> 00:02:58,920 Speaker 3: are your first impressions. 62 00:02:58,440 --> 00:03:03,920 Speaker 1: Of what coach? Yeah, so it's nice with a new 63 00:03:04,000 --> 00:03:06,040 Speaker 1: coach you start early, so we have two extra weeks 64 00:03:06,200 --> 00:03:09,720 Speaker 1: compared to most other teams. So a lot of it's 65 00:03:09,720 --> 00:03:13,200 Speaker 1: been culture so far. It's establishing a standard, an expectation, 66 00:03:14,560 --> 00:03:16,919 Speaker 1: and we can take it a little slower, so we're 67 00:03:16,960 --> 00:03:21,480 Speaker 1: not diving into the plays. We're talking terminology, verbiage. Like 68 00:03:21,600 --> 00:03:25,760 Speaker 1: I said, those expectations, and I think some of these 69 00:03:25,840 --> 00:03:28,080 Speaker 1: coaches it's a new system for them too, so they 70 00:03:28,160 --> 00:03:30,440 Speaker 1: had to learn it a few months ago, which is 71 00:03:30,520 --> 00:03:32,280 Speaker 1: good because they can be like, all right, we had 72 00:03:32,360 --> 00:03:35,000 Speaker 1: these questions, so like I want to install it this way, 73 00:03:35,440 --> 00:03:37,000 Speaker 1: so let's all look at it this way, and then 74 00:03:37,040 --> 00:03:40,600 Speaker 1: we'll just build from there. So yeah, it's we'll get 75 00:03:40,640 --> 00:03:43,440 Speaker 1: into the nitty gritty details of it later, but right now, 76 00:03:43,520 --> 00:03:47,080 Speaker 1: it's just trying to learn everything from the base up. 77 00:03:48,160 --> 00:03:49,840 Speaker 1: And so we got plenty of meeting time in the 78 00:03:49,880 --> 00:03:53,000 Speaker 1: next couple of months and looking forward to getting into it. 79 00:03:53,400 --> 00:03:57,160 Speaker 2: When you talk about coaches establishing a culture and setting expectations, 80 00:03:57,480 --> 00:03:59,800 Speaker 2: what specifically does that sound like or look like when 81 00:03:59,800 --> 00:04:00,880 Speaker 2: you're are those two meetings. 82 00:04:03,080 --> 00:04:04,880 Speaker 1: So a big thing that I was told coming in 83 00:04:05,120 --> 00:04:08,040 Speaker 1: was coach Frabele, We'll ask a bunch of questions in 84 00:04:08,120 --> 00:04:11,000 Speaker 1: team meetings, like you have to know your stuff, which 85 00:04:11,080 --> 00:04:14,280 Speaker 1: I love. I think that if you have to be 86 00:04:14,400 --> 00:04:17,720 Speaker 1: ready to answer any question, whether it's about rules, whether 87 00:04:17,800 --> 00:04:23,880 Speaker 1: it's about goals, whether it's about individual plays like coaching points. 88 00:04:25,400 --> 00:04:27,880 Speaker 1: I think everyone in that meeting room understands they have 89 00:04:27,920 --> 00:04:30,400 Speaker 1: to be on top of their stuff. And when you 90 00:04:30,520 --> 00:04:34,400 Speaker 1: do that, if you're the left tackle and you know 91 00:04:34,440 --> 00:04:36,280 Speaker 1: what the right guard is going to do, I think 92 00:04:36,320 --> 00:04:38,520 Speaker 1: you play faster. I think when you know the whole system, 93 00:04:38,520 --> 00:04:41,760 Speaker 1: when you know the whole big picture, and I even 94 00:04:41,800 --> 00:04:43,839 Speaker 1: know what the receivers have to do, or coach Frabel's 95 00:04:43,880 --> 00:04:46,240 Speaker 1: up there talking about the defense and what their angles 96 00:04:46,279 --> 00:04:49,400 Speaker 1: and what their thought process is. It's just you see 97 00:04:49,440 --> 00:04:52,560 Speaker 1: the big picture of the game. And I think the 98 00:04:52,640 --> 00:04:54,840 Speaker 1: faster you can play, the better you can play. And 99 00:04:54,960 --> 00:04:56,880 Speaker 1: so I think that will be good moving forward as 100 00:04:57,040 --> 00:04:59,960 Speaker 1: a collective locker room and team meeting room where every 101 00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:03,120 Speaker 1: everyone knows everyone's job and so you can kind of 102 00:05:03,160 --> 00:05:06,120 Speaker 1: exploit weaknesses and understand what they're trying to do too. 103 00:05:07,400 --> 00:05:09,520 Speaker 4: I know it's early, but have you guys talked it 104 00:05:09,600 --> 00:05:12,480 Speaker 4: all about how the communication at the line of scrimmage 105 00:05:12,560 --> 00:05:13,080 Speaker 4: is going to work? 106 00:05:13,200 --> 00:05:15,240 Speaker 1: You know, is that going to be on Drake's plate? 107 00:05:15,360 --> 00:05:19,000 Speaker 1: On your play combination? I think it's a combination. I 108 00:05:19,080 --> 00:05:20,799 Speaker 1: think Drake will have a lot, but I think Drake's 109 00:05:20,839 --> 00:05:24,080 Speaker 1: ready for that. They wouldn't put a lot on his 110 00:05:24,160 --> 00:05:25,920 Speaker 1: plate if they didn't have belief in him, and I 111 00:05:26,000 --> 00:05:28,479 Speaker 1: think he's a really smart young player and it will 112 00:05:28,480 --> 00:05:32,080 Speaker 1: only help him grow. I think sometimes you can just 113 00:05:32,160 --> 00:05:34,040 Speaker 1: try and take a bunch off a quarterbacks plate and 114 00:05:34,120 --> 00:05:36,240 Speaker 1: it's like, sure, let's make it simple for him. But 115 00:05:36,279 --> 00:05:37,680 Speaker 1: I think the more it's on his plate and the 116 00:05:37,760 --> 00:05:40,279 Speaker 1: more that he can understand, like I said, bigger picture, 117 00:05:40,800 --> 00:05:42,840 Speaker 1: he can understand what everyone's doing and get everyone in 118 00:05:42,839 --> 00:05:45,720 Speaker 1: the right place. So there'll be certain times where like 119 00:05:45,920 --> 00:05:50,280 Speaker 1: we all want to work together, right, but that's an 120 00:05:50,320 --> 00:05:52,280 Speaker 1: important position and you got to have that position figured 121 00:05:52,279 --> 00:05:54,840 Speaker 1: it out. And from everything I've heard, they do here, 122 00:05:55,000 --> 00:05:57,720 Speaker 1: so I'm excited to get to work with him. True, 123 00:05:57,839 --> 00:06:00,560 Speaker 1: and just that opportunity. 124 00:06:02,360 --> 00:06:05,120 Speaker 3: What's the did you get an opportunity to see him 125 00:06:05,160 --> 00:06:06,840 Speaker 3: play at all last season, whether it's like watching the 126 00:06:06,880 --> 00:06:09,040 Speaker 3: film or anything, And what can you say about his 127 00:06:09,240 --> 00:06:09,760 Speaker 3: first year. 128 00:06:09,640 --> 00:06:12,000 Speaker 1: In the NFL and just his play aside? Yeah, you know, 129 00:06:12,120 --> 00:06:13,760 Speaker 1: he went to Chapel Hill, so I saw him in 130 00:06:13,800 --> 00:06:16,640 Speaker 1: college a little bit. Went to our rival school, so 131 00:06:16,760 --> 00:06:19,800 Speaker 1: didn't like playing against him. But I was in the 132 00:06:19,920 --> 00:06:22,360 Speaker 1: NFC the past couple of years and I think we've 133 00:06:22,400 --> 00:06:24,600 Speaker 1: only only played the Patriots once, and so there's not 134 00:06:24,640 --> 00:06:26,840 Speaker 1: a ton of crossover film, so I think the only 135 00:06:26,880 --> 00:06:28,880 Speaker 1: things you really see are like the big highlight plays, 136 00:06:28,920 --> 00:06:31,880 Speaker 1: and I saw that last second touchdown at Tennessee and 137 00:06:32,080 --> 00:06:35,279 Speaker 1: just some little things here and there. But I don't 138 00:06:35,279 --> 00:06:37,560 Speaker 1: really know quarterback detail play, So I can't tell you 139 00:06:37,640 --> 00:06:39,279 Speaker 1: what kind of year he had, what kind of player 140 00:06:39,320 --> 00:06:40,920 Speaker 1: he is. All I can base it off of is 141 00:06:41,000 --> 00:06:43,760 Speaker 1: guys that have played with him, and I've heard nothing 142 00:06:43,800 --> 00:06:46,640 Speaker 1: but good things from the guy, from the player. So 143 00:06:46,760 --> 00:06:51,080 Speaker 1: that's what I'm looking forward to between the little Yeah, yeah, 144 00:06:51,279 --> 00:06:53,320 Speaker 1: he's he's a competitive guy, so I think he'll find 145 00:06:53,360 --> 00:06:54,359 Speaker 1: any kind of edge to. 146 00:06:56,800 --> 00:06:57,680 Speaker 3: Wear the other sweatshirts. 147 00:06:57,880 --> 00:07:00,280 Speaker 1: That'll be easy, that'll be easy to do. I think 148 00:07:00,279 --> 00:07:01,839 Speaker 1: the wolf back I've had their number the last couple 149 00:07:01,839 --> 00:07:03,400 Speaker 1: of years, so I got the upperhand right now. 150 00:07:03,920 --> 00:07:06,000 Speaker 3: Hasn't been big teammates with stuff on Diggs and. 151 00:07:06,000 --> 00:07:08,440 Speaker 1: That, Yeah, yeah, I was. I was fired up to 152 00:07:08,440 --> 00:07:12,080 Speaker 1: see him. I was a young guy and he was 153 00:07:12,160 --> 00:07:15,040 Speaker 1: obviously a superstar receiver, and so there were some things 154 00:07:15,080 --> 00:07:17,520 Speaker 1: that I could learn from him, and he wasn't big time, right. 155 00:07:17,600 --> 00:07:19,240 Speaker 1: You come to the NFL as a rookie and you're like, 156 00:07:19,720 --> 00:07:21,720 Speaker 1: you obviously know their names, and you don't know if 157 00:07:21,720 --> 00:07:24,000 Speaker 1: they're gonna care about you talk to you. But he 158 00:07:24,120 --> 00:07:27,120 Speaker 1: loved the old line and so had a good relationship 159 00:07:27,160 --> 00:07:29,080 Speaker 1: with him. Played against someone who's in Buffalo, played against 160 00:07:29,080 --> 00:07:31,400 Speaker 1: some wheys in Houston. So when I saw him for 161 00:07:31,400 --> 00:07:33,040 Speaker 1: the first time, I was pretty fired up to see him. 162 00:07:33,920 --> 00:07:36,400 Speaker 1: And as talent speaks for itself, so it's a it's 163 00:07:36,400 --> 00:07:38,880 Speaker 1: a good weapon to have prediction with him. You do 164 00:07:38,920 --> 00:07:41,560 Speaker 1: you have each other connections with his locker room head. Yeah, 165 00:07:41,640 --> 00:07:43,360 Speaker 1: you know there's five or six guys that had stops 166 00:07:43,400 --> 00:07:45,840 Speaker 1: in Minnesota. There's two in the line room, Tyreus Robinson, 167 00:07:45,920 --> 00:07:49,280 Speaker 1: Vedarian Lowe. I had Vadarian as a rookie and and 168 00:07:49,560 --> 00:07:51,200 Speaker 1: we kind of put him through the ringer as a rookie. 169 00:07:51,240 --> 00:07:53,320 Speaker 1: So to see him as like a vet left tackle 170 00:07:53,400 --> 00:07:55,240 Speaker 1: now is kind of a different I gotta adjust, but 171 00:07:56,120 --> 00:07:58,720 Speaker 1: it's good to see those faces. Tires. Tonga had him 172 00:07:58,760 --> 00:08:02,080 Speaker 1: for a few years. We had some battles. Jacquelin Roy 173 00:08:02,200 --> 00:08:05,240 Speaker 1: was in Minnesota, and then it's such a small league. 174 00:08:05,320 --> 00:08:07,440 Speaker 1: I have good friends and other teams, so it'll be like, hey, 175 00:08:07,680 --> 00:08:09,760 Speaker 1: Patriots just signed this guy. Patriots had this guy. You're 176 00:08:09,760 --> 00:08:12,440 Speaker 1: gonna love them so, like I said, that's that's what 177 00:08:12,560 --> 00:08:16,520 Speaker 1: these months are for. I think it's it's building camaraderie, 178 00:08:16,560 --> 00:08:19,760 Speaker 1: building connections, getting on the golf course, going bawling, going 179 00:08:19,800 --> 00:08:22,800 Speaker 1: to a movie, getting dinner. That stuff actually goes a 180 00:08:22,840 --> 00:08:25,640 Speaker 1: long way, because, as you guys know, it's a long season. 181 00:08:25,680 --> 00:08:27,920 Speaker 1: There's ups and downs, and like if you feel like 182 00:08:27,960 --> 00:08:29,720 Speaker 1: you're in it by yourself, it's gonna be even a 183 00:08:29,760 --> 00:08:37,760 Speaker 1: longer season. So I really feel like that's important. Look Dunborough, Yeah, 184 00:08:38,400 --> 00:08:42,640 Speaker 1: Doug's great. Doug actually my line coach in college who's 185 00:08:42,640 --> 00:08:45,360 Speaker 1: with the Falcons now. Doug actually coached him when he 186 00:08:45,440 --> 00:08:47,640 Speaker 1: was in New Orleans. So that's about the only connection 187 00:08:47,679 --> 00:08:49,959 Speaker 1: I have with him. I know he's been in this 188 00:08:50,080 --> 00:08:54,200 Speaker 1: league for a long time. I love former players as coaches, 189 00:08:55,720 --> 00:08:57,120 Speaker 1: so he played in this league for a while, he's 190 00:08:57,160 --> 00:09:00,880 Speaker 1: coaching this league forever, and so they just I don't know, 191 00:09:01,000 --> 00:09:04,400 Speaker 1: from my perspective, they have a different understanding the coach speak. 192 00:09:04,480 --> 00:09:06,200 Speaker 1: They can sometimes be like listen, I know I'm telling 193 00:09:06,240 --> 00:09:08,920 Speaker 1: you to do this, but you gotta get done this 194 00:09:09,040 --> 00:09:12,079 Speaker 1: way or this way or this way. And so he's 195 00:09:12,080 --> 00:09:15,120 Speaker 1: another guy that it's a newer system for him, so 196 00:09:15,200 --> 00:09:16,800 Speaker 1: he spent the last months learning a couple of months 197 00:09:16,880 --> 00:09:18,760 Speaker 1: learning it, and he's had a million systems so he 198 00:09:18,840 --> 00:09:21,280 Speaker 1: can kind of understand how he wants to install it 199 00:09:21,360 --> 00:09:25,240 Speaker 1: to us. He likes interactive meetings, which I love. So 200 00:09:25,320 --> 00:09:27,400 Speaker 1: there's quizes thrown out, there's hey, what do you got 201 00:09:27,480 --> 00:09:28,240 Speaker 1: in this? What do you got in this? 202 00:09:29,040 --> 00:09:29,160 Speaker 5: Uh? 203 00:09:29,440 --> 00:09:31,040 Speaker 1: And we have two assistants in the Neil line room, 204 00:09:31,040 --> 00:09:34,160 Speaker 1: which that's new to me, which is awesome because you 205 00:09:34,240 --> 00:09:36,599 Speaker 1: got three guys that will know the system like the 206 00:09:36,640 --> 00:09:39,400 Speaker 1: back of their hand that I can just have questions 207 00:09:39,440 --> 00:09:41,760 Speaker 1: anything I need to know, bounce ideas off there. 208 00:09:42,679 --> 00:09:43,160 Speaker 4: How much. 209 00:09:44,800 --> 00:09:46,600 Speaker 1: Helpily are you with Mike and Whinnywin? 210 00:09:46,640 --> 00:09:47,920 Speaker 4: How do you feel like you guys can talk them 211 00:09:47,920 --> 00:09:48,680 Speaker 4: on each other inside? 212 00:09:48,840 --> 00:09:51,400 Speaker 1: Yeah, I've heard. I've heard really good things about Mike. 213 00:09:51,440 --> 00:09:55,079 Speaker 1: I'm excited. He's a big guard, he's a physical player. 214 00:09:56,320 --> 00:09:58,599 Speaker 1: So I'm definitely looking forward to hitting some combinations with 215 00:09:58,679 --> 00:09:59,240 Speaker 1: that guy. 216 00:10:00,040 --> 00:10:01,760 Speaker 2: You're about in Minnesota. 217 00:10:02,000 --> 00:10:04,360 Speaker 5: Just putting a bow in your time here and. 218 00:10:04,480 --> 00:10:07,360 Speaker 1: Just sort of how it ended and if that brings 219 00:10:07,440 --> 00:10:07,840 Speaker 1: you here. 220 00:10:08,160 --> 00:10:11,360 Speaker 2: Would you like a feeling of a show that I 221 00:10:11,840 --> 00:10:12,760 Speaker 2: like that I'm still. 222 00:10:14,360 --> 00:10:20,560 Speaker 1: Like I should start Yeah, Yeah, absolutely, No, I had 223 00:10:20,640 --> 00:10:23,240 Speaker 1: six great years in Minnesota. It's it's a great locker room, 224 00:10:23,760 --> 00:10:27,480 Speaker 1: built some really good connections there and it ended right. 225 00:10:27,600 --> 00:10:32,160 Speaker 1: That's the business. Uh So it's like, all right, I 226 00:10:32,240 --> 00:10:35,120 Speaker 1: don't think you never want to feel comfortable, but that's 227 00:10:35,160 --> 00:10:37,040 Speaker 1: a wake up call. That's all right, here we go. 228 00:10:37,200 --> 00:10:39,800 Speaker 1: That's that's how they feel. They move on. There's no 229 00:10:40,080 --> 00:10:42,920 Speaker 1: ill will. I'm not bitter towards the Vikings. It's just 230 00:10:43,520 --> 00:10:46,880 Speaker 1: a new opportunity for me. I feel like when there's 231 00:10:46,920 --> 00:10:48,719 Speaker 1: a change, if you don't take the opportunity, you're not 232 00:10:48,800 --> 00:10:51,199 Speaker 1: going to grow from it. And so it's more about like, 233 00:10:51,280 --> 00:10:54,559 Speaker 1: all right, I get to reinvent myself. I get to 234 00:10:54,600 --> 00:10:58,839 Speaker 1: reprove myself. And the minute you think you have it 235 00:10:58,920 --> 00:11:03,440 Speaker 1: figured out, you're you're gone. And so all right, new team, 236 00:11:03,520 --> 00:11:06,400 Speaker 1: new chapter, new offense. What can I bring? And you 237 00:11:06,480 --> 00:11:08,640 Speaker 1: got to bring it every day. It's the biggest thing 238 00:11:08,640 --> 00:11:11,280 Speaker 1: I've learned that every single day you have to bring 239 00:11:11,360 --> 00:11:16,160 Speaker 1: in meeting room, practice, weight room. Uh So, I'm not 240 00:11:16,280 --> 00:11:18,400 Speaker 1: even a wake up call, but it's just it's just new. 241 00:11:18,520 --> 00:11:21,439 Speaker 1: It's exciting, it's a fresh start, new opportunity. 242 00:11:22,720 --> 00:11:26,439 Speaker 2: Anything about your first two days in New England, facility, teammates, 243 00:11:26,679 --> 00:11:28,480 Speaker 2: coaches driving around is. 244 00:11:28,679 --> 00:11:31,440 Speaker 1: Surprising, hasn't been allowed driving around. Kind of been here 245 00:11:31,480 --> 00:11:34,400 Speaker 1: in the hotel, got out and played a little golf yesterday. 246 00:11:35,640 --> 00:11:38,880 Speaker 1: The facility. What's kind of nice is it's all in 247 00:11:39,000 --> 00:11:41,360 Speaker 1: this little square right here Minnesota. You kind of had 248 00:11:41,360 --> 00:11:44,760 Speaker 1: a mile walk to cafeteria, the weight room, so it's nice. 249 00:11:44,760 --> 00:11:46,640 Speaker 1: You're kind of bumping elbows with everyone throughout the day, 250 00:11:47,240 --> 00:11:48,719 Speaker 1: which is good as a new guy, like, oh hey, 251 00:11:48,800 --> 00:11:52,280 Speaker 1: nice to meet you. Hey, what's up. But there's a 252 00:11:52,320 --> 00:11:54,080 Speaker 1: weight room, there's a locker room, there's a training room. 253 00:11:54,120 --> 00:11:59,080 Speaker 1: It's it's just another day at work. Honestly, it's amaze. 254 00:11:59,280 --> 00:12:01,240 Speaker 1: I'll say that I have no idea where I'm going. 255 00:12:02,240 --> 00:12:04,800 Speaker 1: Every every turn in every corner I make, I'm like, 256 00:12:04,800 --> 00:12:07,400 Speaker 1: all right, where's the locker room, where's the So that's 257 00:12:07,440 --> 00:12:09,400 Speaker 1: part of that new where you're just like it's first 258 00:12:09,480 --> 00:12:11,000 Speaker 1: day of school and you don't know anyone, you don't 259 00:12:11,000 --> 00:12:14,000 Speaker 1: know where to go. But it's kind of refreshing, it's 260 00:12:14,040 --> 00:12:16,480 Speaker 1: it's it's fun for a couple of days. But if 261 00:12:16,480 --> 00:12:20,720 Speaker 1: you ever watched any of Logan Makings film, he was, yeah, 262 00:12:21,080 --> 00:12:22,360 Speaker 1: I haven't seen the time of this film. But I 263 00:12:22,400 --> 00:12:25,079 Speaker 1: know the player, I know the name. There's been some 264 00:12:25,160 --> 00:12:28,600 Speaker 1: awesome line in here. Joe Toney comes to mind. Played 265 00:12:28,600 --> 00:12:31,040 Speaker 1: with him in NC State my first two years I 266 00:12:31,360 --> 00:12:34,719 Speaker 1: transitioned positions, came into the line. We were roommates when 267 00:12:34,720 --> 00:12:38,920 Speaker 1: we traveled. I can't think of a better teammate player. 268 00:12:39,760 --> 00:12:41,720 Speaker 1: Uh So I need to hit him up and pick 269 00:12:41,760 --> 00:12:45,480 Speaker 1: his brain on this city, in this town. Having been 270 00:12:45,600 --> 00:12:47,480 Speaker 1: you know, someone is to sing a New England now 271 00:12:47,559 --> 00:12:50,400 Speaker 1: and there's it's heard about him of having been in 272 00:12:50,440 --> 00:12:51,280 Speaker 1: the locker room with him. 273 00:12:51,360 --> 00:12:53,480 Speaker 3: What's like something fans can expect from. 274 00:12:53,400 --> 00:12:57,040 Speaker 1: Him, both off in the locker room and on how 275 00:12:57,080 --> 00:13:01,960 Speaker 1: competitive he is? And and when you have these superstar receivers, 276 00:13:02,040 --> 00:13:04,000 Speaker 1: I mean justin Jefferson, Adam Thiel, and I've played with 277 00:13:04,080 --> 00:13:08,640 Speaker 1: some good ones. You want them to be like that, right. 278 00:13:08,920 --> 00:13:10,599 Speaker 1: You want them to have belief in their talent. You 279 00:13:10,679 --> 00:13:15,000 Speaker 1: want them to want the ball. And when he's rolling 280 00:13:15,040 --> 00:13:18,040 Speaker 1: and he's hard to stop, and so it's how can 281 00:13:18,080 --> 00:13:19,679 Speaker 1: we all work together? We need to get him the 282 00:13:19,720 --> 00:13:21,439 Speaker 1: ball right? And I know the coaches are gonna do 283 00:13:21,440 --> 00:13:24,920 Speaker 1: a good job of that. But you want competitive teammates. 284 00:13:25,600 --> 00:13:28,839 Speaker 1: I see that in Drake. It digs. I saw that firsthand, 285 00:13:30,160 --> 00:13:32,200 Speaker 1: and so I love I love getting ahuddle with guys 286 00:13:32,240 --> 00:13:34,240 Speaker 1: like that, with all the crazy looks. 287 00:13:34,559 --> 00:13:36,280 Speaker 4: Oh, with all the crazy looks that defense has been 288 00:13:36,320 --> 00:13:37,800 Speaker 4: throw at you. When someone who's had success, you know, 289 00:13:38,120 --> 00:13:40,080 Speaker 4: getting through all those When do you feel like things 290 00:13:40,160 --> 00:13:41,040 Speaker 4: kind of slowed down for you? 291 00:13:41,120 --> 00:13:42,480 Speaker 1: And what would you say helped you? Got to get 292 00:13:42,480 --> 00:13:44,959 Speaker 1: the gun? I think going against Brian Flora's defense the 293 00:13:45,000 --> 00:13:48,120 Speaker 1: last couple of years, that has slowed everything down. Nothing 294 00:13:48,200 --> 00:13:51,520 Speaker 1: is like that, but it's just more it's master of 295 00:13:51,600 --> 00:13:55,280 Speaker 1: your own system. So you need to understand that the 296 00:13:55,760 --> 00:13:58,600 Speaker 1: rules and the whys of what you're doing. And then 297 00:13:59,240 --> 00:14:02,240 Speaker 1: once whatever someone throws out there for you, okay, let's 298 00:14:02,280 --> 00:14:04,080 Speaker 1: just go back to my system. Go back to my rules. 299 00:14:05,360 --> 00:14:07,679 Speaker 1: And so being a new system, it's time to study. 300 00:14:07,679 --> 00:14:09,679 Speaker 1: It's time to get in the playbook and learn all that. 301 00:14:10,920 --> 00:14:14,959 Speaker 1: But repetition and experience, that's you gotta have that. We 302 00:14:15,160 --> 00:14:16,839 Speaker 1: we gotta get together. We got yet on the grass. 303 00:14:16,840 --> 00:14:18,960 Speaker 1: We gotta see looks. I gotta see how the right 304 00:14:19,000 --> 00:14:22,840 Speaker 1: guard communicates, how he wants me to communicate. It's all 305 00:14:22,880 --> 00:14:25,760 Speaker 1: stuff like that, and it takes time. Thankfully, we have time. 306 00:14:26,240 --> 00:14:29,480 Speaker 1: I'm looking forward to getting to it two hard, just 307 00:14:29,520 --> 00:14:32,120 Speaker 1: to finish off the number one playing against the bigger 308 00:14:32,240 --> 00:14:34,040 Speaker 1: defensive tables and sometimes. 309 00:14:33,800 --> 00:14:34,720 Speaker 4: Those guys there big. 310 00:14:37,040 --> 00:14:39,120 Speaker 5: How does that challenge you? And what are you doing? 311 00:14:39,200 --> 00:14:40,040 Speaker 3: Maybe here for that? 312 00:14:40,160 --> 00:14:43,800 Speaker 4: And you mentioned I give Carson and Blake can be back? 313 00:14:45,360 --> 00:14:46,160 Speaker 3: How are your here playing? 314 00:14:46,160 --> 00:14:47,960 Speaker 2: Its like you're here and you're gonna travel. 315 00:14:47,760 --> 00:14:51,160 Speaker 1: Back ever your weekend. Yeah, we'll be bouncing back. Sometimes 316 00:14:52,040 --> 00:14:54,240 Speaker 1: I haven't quite figured the whole thing out. I try 317 00:14:54,240 --> 00:14:55,880 Speaker 1: and take things like one, one hour at a time, 318 00:14:56,960 --> 00:14:58,720 Speaker 1: but yeah, you gotta have a plan. I think a 319 00:14:58,760 --> 00:15:00,880 Speaker 1: big thing is not letting the name on the back 320 00:15:00,880 --> 00:15:03,680 Speaker 1: of the jersey beat you. You know, as an old lineman, 321 00:15:04,840 --> 00:15:07,720 Speaker 1: you can watch film and you can nine of the 322 00:15:07,800 --> 00:15:10,320 Speaker 1: time say I beat myself on that play. You know, 323 00:15:10,560 --> 00:15:13,360 Speaker 1: just because he's three hundred and seventy pounds, just because 324 00:15:13,360 --> 00:15:14,960 Speaker 1: he's a bigger dude, doesn't mean I need to change 325 00:15:15,040 --> 00:15:17,240 Speaker 1: up my set, change up my hands, change up my 326 00:15:17,320 --> 00:15:20,640 Speaker 1: attack plan. And so that's where the film study comes in. 327 00:15:20,880 --> 00:15:22,760 Speaker 1: It's like, all right, I beat myself on this play. 328 00:15:22,800 --> 00:15:24,960 Speaker 1: I put myself in a bad position because I felt 329 00:15:25,000 --> 00:15:29,000 Speaker 1: like I had to do something different. Obviously, the supplements 330 00:15:29,040 --> 00:15:31,120 Speaker 1: of the weight room and nutrition and all that stuff 331 00:15:31,200 --> 00:15:33,720 Speaker 1: play a part, but at the end of the day, 332 00:15:33,840 --> 00:15:36,800 Speaker 1: technique wins, and you just have to line up and 333 00:15:36,920 --> 00:15:39,880 Speaker 1: have confidence in your ability and execute what you want 334 00:15:39,920 --> 00:15:44,160 Speaker 1: to do.
