5
00:00:10,800 --> 00:00:13,520
Speaker 1: could be back at the billion. So yeah, will it

6
00:00:13,640 --> 00:00:15,880
Speaker 1: be exciting for the OTAs actually get on the field

7
00:00:15,920 --> 00:00:17,760
Speaker 1: like that has to probably be the most exciting part

8
00:00:17,760 --> 00:00:20,520
Speaker 1: about everything. Yeah, kind of, you know, growing helmets and stuff.

9
00:00:20,560 --> 00:00:23,120
Speaker 1: But um still feels good, you know, running plays, going

10
00:00:23,120 --> 00:00:25,920
Speaker 1: into defense a little bit, and um, yeah, it's always

11
00:00:25,920 --> 00:00:28,160
Speaker 1: good to get back on the field and playing little football.

12
00:00:28,200 --> 00:00:32,000
Speaker 1: So you were on the field very offensive play last year.

13
00:00:32,320 --> 00:00:37,159
Speaker 1: How much do you think, Yeah, Um, you know, I

Speaker 1: even your first two years and Leaue you played like

29
00:01:13,200 --> 00:01:15,039
Speaker 1: the snaps. So what do you have to do even

30
00:01:15,080 --> 00:01:16,720
Speaker 1: at this point the year to get ready to have

31
00:01:16,760 --> 00:01:19,760
Speaker 1: that type of um you know, I think you know,

32
00:01:19,880 --> 00:01:23,280
Speaker 1: trying to you know, maintain you know, flexibility and trying

33
00:01:23,360 --> 00:01:27,160
Speaker 1: you know, standing nutrition, UM, get your body right, and UM,

34
00:01:27,200 --> 00:01:28,720
Speaker 1: just trying to you know, stay on top of through

35
00:01:28,840 --> 00:01:31,280
Speaker 1: through the whole season. Um, you know, whether it be

36
00:01:31,319 --> 00:01:35,399
Speaker 1: massages or um, you know, um just get in the

37
00:01:35,400 --> 00:01:37,560
Speaker 1: train room and just trying to, you know, keep on

38
00:01:37,600 --> 00:01:40,800
Speaker 1: top of things so nothing gets out of control. Does

39
00:01:40,800 --> 00:01:44,320
Speaker 1: that mean yoga? I'm not nerund yoga heard it's really good,

40
00:01:44,360 --> 00:01:47,960
Speaker 1: but I know, just stretching and stuff. So, Joe, last year,

41
00:01:48,040 --> 00:01:50,040
Speaker 1: coach Guy gave you a lot of credit for helping

42
00:01:50,080 --> 00:01:53,240
Speaker 1: with trends transition on the field. You kind of envisioned

43
00:01:53,240 --> 00:01:55,200
Speaker 1: that same role with Isaiah or whoever runs up being

44
00:01:55,280 --> 00:01:57,200
Speaker 1: left top of this year, um, you know, as an

45
00:01:57,240 --> 00:01:59,280
Speaker 1: offensive lineup. You always try and work together, you know,

46
00:01:59,360 --> 00:02:02,320
Speaker 1: especially guys next to you and stuff, and UM, you

47
00:02:02,320 --> 00:02:05,800
Speaker 1: know you're coming in two new systems. Always tough, but UM,

48
00:02:05,880 --> 00:02:07,960
Speaker 1: you know, just try and you know, work with work

49
00:02:08,000 --> 00:02:09,760
Speaker 1: with the whole unit, and just try and keep get

50
00:02:09,760 --> 00:02:12,200
Speaker 1: everyone up to speed. And UM you know it's all

51
00:02:12,240 --> 00:02:14,600
Speaker 1: about you know, communication and everyone's seeing the game the

52
00:02:14,639 --> 00:02:17,320
Speaker 1: same set of eyes and UM. So yeah, just just

53
00:02:17,320 --> 00:02:19,800
Speaker 1: trying to everyone be on the same page. It's really important.

54
00:02:20,000 --> 00:02:21,680
Speaker 1: So this should be the third year you have a

55
00:02:21,720 --> 00:02:24,360
Speaker 1: different left tackle next to you. Does that change anything

56
00:02:24,480 --> 00:02:29,160
Speaker 1: for you? Make anything more difficult? Um? Yeah, it's just

57
00:02:29,280 --> 00:02:31,760
Speaker 1: I just try and you know, do what I can

58
00:02:31,880 --> 00:02:35,120
Speaker 1: just to um be the best player I can. And UM,

59
00:02:35,240 --> 00:02:37,320
Speaker 1: like I said before, you know, it's everyone on offense

60
00:02:37,320 --> 00:02:39,000
Speaker 1: line is trying to work together. So you're just trying to,

61
00:02:39,480 --> 00:02:41,800
Speaker 1: UM get everyone to work together the same way and

62
00:02:42,240 --> 00:02:45,080
Speaker 1: UM see the game the same way, and UM communicate

63
00:02:45,080 --> 00:02:47,480
Speaker 1: where what the defense is doing. So just you know,

64
00:02:47,520 --> 00:02:49,839
Speaker 1: just try and you know, do my role the best

65
00:02:49,880 --> 00:02:53,160
Speaker 1: I can. Just year with you and David and chat

66
00:02:53,440 --> 00:02:55,560
Speaker 1: in the middle of there. How beneficial is that to

67
00:02:55,639 --> 00:02:58,679
Speaker 1: keep that kind of consistency year over year? UM? Yeah,

68
00:02:58,760 --> 00:03:01,239
Speaker 1: I mean Shack and David great players, and it's it's been,

69
00:03:01,760 --> 00:03:04,520
Speaker 1: um awesome to play next to them, and um, I

70
00:03:04,560 --> 00:03:06,960
Speaker 1: think you know, we feel really comfortable with each other

71
00:03:07,000 --> 00:03:10,040
Speaker 1: and um see the game the same way and kind

72
00:03:10,040 --> 00:03:12,240
Speaker 1: of understand what's going to be called before it's even said,

73
00:03:12,240 --> 00:03:15,680
Speaker 1: you know, and um, just it's it's been. It's been

74
00:03:15,720 --> 00:03:20,239
Speaker 1: great playing with those guys. You know all obviously in

75
00:03:20,360 --> 00:03:22,400
Speaker 1: helmets and stuff like that during out here is what

76
00:03:22,520 --> 00:03:25,079
Speaker 1: can you get out of this as lineman? When you're

77
00:03:25,120 --> 00:03:28,799
Speaker 1: not really getting bad people? You can still yeah, work

78
00:03:28,840 --> 00:03:31,120
Speaker 1: on your technique. You know, your hand placement, your feet,

79
00:03:31,160 --> 00:03:34,760
Speaker 1: your body position and everything. So um you obviously that

80
00:03:34,880 --> 00:03:37,480
Speaker 1: you know, physical aspects of the game isn't there, but

81
00:03:37,520 --> 00:03:39,040
Speaker 1: there's still a ton you can work on with your

82
00:03:39,080 --> 00:03:42,040
Speaker 1: technique and so it's really beneficial as time to try

83
00:03:42,040 --> 00:03:47,960
Speaker 1: and you know, hone your craft and improve. Um, you know,

84
00:03:47,960 --> 00:03:51,880
Speaker 1: I'm just whatever the PA and the NFL agrees with im,

85
00:03:52,040 --> 00:03:55,080
Speaker 1: I'm all for. So did you wait, is this like

86
00:03:55,080 --> 00:03:58,600
Speaker 1: a time of year that you like to heavier? Because

87
00:03:58,640 --> 00:04:01,600
Speaker 1: you know forward, what are you trying to say? Mike?

88
00:04:01,680 --> 00:04:09,120
Speaker 1: Notice goodding? Yeah? I feel good? Um, you know, everyone

89
00:04:09,200 --> 00:04:12,920
Speaker 1: every guy's different. Um depends on you know, where they

90
00:04:12,960 --> 00:04:15,720
Speaker 1: are with nutrition and everything. But um, I think it's

91
00:04:15,720 --> 00:04:17,440
Speaker 1: an important time just trying to get work on your

92
00:04:17,480 --> 00:04:20,200
Speaker 1: body and um, you know some guys have to lose,

93
00:04:20,240 --> 00:04:21,960
Speaker 1: some guys up to games. You guys had to maintain.

94
00:04:22,080 --> 00:04:25,320
Speaker 1: So um, you know everyone's different. Just trying to you know,

95
00:04:25,360 --> 00:04:28,880
Speaker 1: get ready for the season. Talking about did you catch

96
00:04:28,960 --> 00:04:37,400
Speaker 1: him as I saw some I saw some some videos. Yeah,

97
00:04:37,920 --> 00:04:42,240
Speaker 1: great passion, great passion. Yes, Um, energy was there for sure. Um,

98
00:04:42,279 --> 00:04:44,040
Speaker 1: Bruins are killing it by the way up three. Oh,

99
00:04:44,160 --> 00:04:46,600
Speaker 1: so you know, kudos to them. They're doing a great job.

100
00:04:46,640 --> 00:04:48,920
Speaker 1: And um, you know they think they played at night,

101
00:04:49,000 --> 00:04:51,680
Speaker 1: so best luck to them. Is this a difficult time

102
00:04:52,000 --> 00:04:54,760
Speaker 1: because you're North Carolina, you went to school right down

103
00:04:54,760 --> 00:05:00,360
Speaker 1: the road and that's who they're playing. Yeah, I mean yeah,

104
00:05:00,040 --> 00:05:02,080
Speaker 1: I think I'm pulling for the Bruins, but you know,

105
00:05:02,279 --> 00:05:04,920
Speaker 1: it's it's been a good series so far, and um,

106
00:05:04,960 --> 00:05:07,039
Speaker 1: the Bruin has been killing it recently. So yeah, all

107
00:05:07,040 --> 00:05:11,560
Speaker 1: four that was David's rugging technique. Um pretty good. Yeah,

108
00:05:11,600 --> 00:05:15,599
Speaker 1: I'd say pretty good. Yeah good. Tell may not be

109
00:05:15,600 --> 00:05:17,480
Speaker 1: a part of the off season stuff, but you as

110
00:05:17,520 --> 00:05:19,200
Speaker 1: an offensive I mean still keep in touch with him,

111
00:05:19,200 --> 00:05:21,760

Speaker 1: trying to just control what we can and I'm just

114
00:05:26,400 --> 00:05:29,680

Speaker 1: able to get his contract on before the season started.

116
00:05:32,480 --> 00:05:35,159
Speaker 1: On wondering You're to be interested and maybe following because
