<v Speaker 3>With the other quarterbacks?

0:00:40.880 --> 0:00:42.240

0:00:48.440 --> 0:00:48.920
<v Speaker 6>That's good?

0:00:52.520 --> 0:00:54.120
<v Speaker 2>Gotta figure it out John, to.

0:00:54.080 --> 0:00:57.360
<v Speaker 5>Get engaged on the offensive line and that competition any.

0:00:57.200 --> 0:00:59.600
<v Speaker 7>Pre season action at some point, do you want to

0:00:59.680 --> 0:01:03.040
<v Speaker 7>ever in the starting offense when the guys looking for it.

0:01:03.160 --> 0:01:04.040
<v Speaker 6>At all these pieces?

0:01:04.040 --> 0:01:07.160
<v Speaker 3>And uh, well, we'll see most of those guys out there.

0:01:07.360 --> 0:01:08.959
<v Speaker 3>I don't know about this game if everyone of those

0:01:09.000 --> 0:01:11.440
<v Speaker 3>guys will be out there I'm not sure about the

0:01:11.520 --> 0:01:14.720
<v Speaker 3>offensive line completely yet. Uh, but you know, they probably

0:01:14.720 --> 0:01:17.080
<v Speaker 3>won't be out there with Lamar, but as far as

0:01:17.120 --> 0:01:18.280
<v Speaker 3>the rest of most of the rest of the guys,

0:01:18.280 --> 0:01:18.640
<v Speaker 3>they will be.

0:01:18.640 --> 0:01:20.800
<v Speaker 2>We're pretty young. It's not like we'll have a ton

0:01:20.840 --> 0:01:22.640
<v Speaker 2>of guys not playing.

0:01:22.319 --> 0:01:24.920
<v Speaker 3>Over the course of the preseason. So we'll see all

0:01:24.959 --> 0:01:26.240
<v Speaker 3>the guys we need to and it'll be quite a

0:01:26.280 --> 0:01:26.720
<v Speaker 3>few guys.

0:01:27.240 --> 0:01:32.520
<v Speaker 7>And you've been a laughing penalty full starts feel has

0:01:32.520 --> 0:01:34.880
<v Speaker 7>produced the intended results of that over the last two weeks.

0:01:35.319 --> 0:01:38.200
<v Speaker 3>I do, uh, I'm not enforcing it, just to be clear,

0:01:38.280 --> 0:01:41.040
<v Speaker 3>the uh, the offense is enforcing it. They decided to

0:01:41.040 --> 0:01:43.119
<v Speaker 3>do that, which I was I thought was pretty cool.

0:01:43.400 --> 0:01:43.720
<v Speaker 1>I was.

0:01:44.040 --> 0:01:46.920
<v Speaker 3>I was not disappointed to see that. But I think

0:01:46.920 --> 0:01:48.080
<v Speaker 3>it's it's a good impact.

0:01:48.080 --> 0:01:51.600
<v Speaker 2>It's been. It's been. Uh. Anything that makes you intentional.

0:01:51.160 --> 0:01:52.800
<v Speaker 3>About what you're trying to do, I think get you

0:01:52.880 --> 0:01:55.280
<v Speaker 3>focused on it. We always like will mark off the

0:01:55.280 --> 0:01:57.720
<v Speaker 3>penalty always that's another way to get the attention of

0:01:57.760 --> 0:02:00.880
<v Speaker 3>the guys and just realize that it's importance to be

0:02:01.080 --> 0:02:03.880
<v Speaker 3>perfect as we can be, which you can be pretty

0:02:03.920 --> 0:02:07.080
<v Speaker 3>darn perfect pre snap, so we're always chasing that kind

0:02:07.080 --> 0:02:10.960
<v Speaker 3>of perfection. Litle more existing aspects the kickoff and terms

0:02:11.000 --> 0:02:11.600
<v Speaker 3>and how those.

0:02:11.480 --> 0:02:15.440
<v Speaker 7>Prison training and damn the questions the news in.

0:02:15.440 --> 0:02:16.560
<v Speaker 5>The what is that question?

0:02:17.760 --> 0:02:22.040
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, well, the way it's being format about and just

0:02:22.120 --> 0:02:24.560
<v Speaker 2>reacting to help those teams handling.

0:02:24.280 --> 0:02:29.280
<v Speaker 3>And the additions to the touchdown, how they what understanding

0:02:29.320 --> 0:02:29.639
<v Speaker 3>the question?

0:02:29.720 --> 0:02:30.280
<v Speaker 2>What's the question?

0:02:30.320 --> 0:02:31.000
<v Speaker 8>Who's trying about?

0:02:32.200 --> 0:02:34.280
<v Speaker 2>What is the question? The question was the.

0:02:34.280 --> 0:02:37.440
<v Speaker 3>Aspect of the post and the officials and how they're

0:02:37.440 --> 0:02:41.160
<v Speaker 3>handling the kickoff requires and experiencing in a real.

0:02:41.040 --> 0:02:42.600
<v Speaker 2>Game situation for the first time.

0:02:43.840 --> 0:02:46.920
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, we're looking forward to it, We really are. How

0:02:46.960 --> 0:02:50.080
<v Speaker 3>much do I answer that question the aspect of it. Yeah,

0:02:50.400 --> 0:02:52.920
<v Speaker 3>we are looking forward to it. It'll be a challenge.

0:02:53.200 --> 0:02:54.200
<v Speaker 3>We'll see what it looks like.

0:02:54.560 --> 0:02:54.920
<v Speaker 2>I hope.

0:02:55.040 --> 0:02:56.880
<v Speaker 3>I hope we go down and smash their kickoff return,

0:02:56.960 --> 0:02:58.959
<v Speaker 3>and I hope we break every every.

0:02:58.720 --> 0:03:01.680
<v Speaker 2>Return for a touchdown. That's what I'm looking for. Is

0:03:01.680 --> 0:03:01.920
<v Speaker 2>it a.

0:03:06.200 --> 0:03:09.000
<v Speaker 5>Sort of situation where you guys might try different.

0:03:09.160 --> 0:03:10.239
<v Speaker 4>Things related to it.

0:03:10.800 --> 0:03:13.000
<v Speaker 3>I mean, I think it comes into play at some point.

0:03:13.120 --> 0:03:14.480
<v Speaker 3>Right now, we just want to get out there and

0:03:14.520 --> 0:03:17.880
<v Speaker 3>line up and understand the rules and try to execute

0:03:17.919 --> 0:03:19.720
<v Speaker 3>the schemes as best we can and just see how

0:03:19.720 --> 0:03:23.600
<v Speaker 3>we look. You know, we're we don't know exactly how

0:03:23.639 --> 0:03:25.280
<v Speaker 3>it's gonna play out, timing wise and all that. So

0:03:25.320 --> 0:03:27.280
<v Speaker 3>it very is very very is very much the very

0:03:27.280 --> 0:03:30.120
<v Speaker 3>first time doing it. So that's kind of maybe that's

0:03:30.160 --> 0:03:31.000
<v Speaker 3>the answer to the question.

0:03:31.720 --> 0:03:35.200
<v Speaker 2>So we want to we want to kick it in

0:03:35.240 --> 0:03:36.800
<v Speaker 2>the landing zone start with that.

0:03:37.520 --> 0:03:38.120
<v Speaker 6>John, do you have.

0:03:38.080 --> 0:03:40.520
<v Speaker 8>Any update on our foe other than what you knew

0:03:40.560 --> 0:03:42.680
<v Speaker 8>yesterday the testing, the back or anything we do.

0:03:43.040 --> 0:03:47.600
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, he's gonna have a scope surgery and uh a

0:03:47.600 --> 0:03:50.800
<v Speaker 3>clean up type of a situation and uh, it'll it'll

0:03:50.880 --> 0:03:53.920
<v Speaker 3>keep him out for a little while, but not long

0:03:54.000 --> 0:03:57.120
<v Speaker 3>term by any stretch. So we can revisit it when

0:03:57.360 --> 0:03:58.840
<v Speaker 3>Whens were close to the start of the season and

0:03:58.920 --> 0:04:00.640
<v Speaker 3>talk about John.

0:04:00.680 --> 0:04:03.680
<v Speaker 8>We haven't I haven't seen Ben Cleveland that right guard

0:04:03.720 --> 0:04:06.720
<v Speaker 8>as much during County. Does that say anything about where

0:04:06.760 --> 0:04:09.760
<v Speaker 8>he might? And the players 're just sort of wanting

0:04:09.800 --> 0:04:10.360
<v Speaker 8>to see.

0:04:10.240 --> 0:04:12.240
<v Speaker 2>Different guys in different goals. I mean, I think it's

0:04:12.280 --> 0:04:13.040
<v Speaker 2>a little bit of both.

0:04:13.040 --> 0:04:14.680
<v Speaker 3>But Ben has done such a good job at center,

0:04:14.720 --> 0:04:16.400
<v Speaker 3>and now we have Tyler out for a while, I think

0:04:16.360 --> 0:04:18.640
<v Speaker 3>you're going to see him at center quite a bit

0:04:18.680 --> 0:04:19.719
<v Speaker 3>here for the next two weeks.

0:04:23.160 --> 0:04:24.960
<v Speaker 1>We also heard from some of the guys competing for

0:04:25.000 --> 0:04:30.120
<v Speaker 1>spots along that offensive line, including second round rookie Roger Rosegard,

0:04:30.200 --> 0:04:32.960
<v Speaker 1>who's competing for a starting job at right tackle.

0:04:38.000 --> 0:04:38.200
<v Speaker 6>Yeah.

0:04:38.279 --> 0:04:46.120
<v Speaker 9>No, nine times met him, oh man, Absolutely, absolutely, especially

0:04:46.200 --> 0:04:48.800
<v Speaker 9>for Big Ben, so no doubt.

0:04:49.120 --> 0:04:51.440
<v Speaker 5>Roger, You're getting your first taste of NFL preseason action

0:04:51.560 --> 0:04:54.359
<v Speaker 5>on Friday. How does it feel to just finally be

0:04:54.400 --> 0:04:56.039
<v Speaker 5>able to be out there on an NFL field?

0:04:56.160 --> 0:04:57.200
<v Speaker 6>Yeah, man, it feels great.

0:04:57.640 --> 0:05:00.120
<v Speaker 9>It feels amazing, you know, kind of just go and

0:05:00.200 --> 0:05:03.760
<v Speaker 9>through rookie mini camp OTAs and just the spring practices

0:05:03.880 --> 0:05:05.920
<v Speaker 9>to now you finally get to training camp. I mean,

0:05:06.200 --> 0:05:09.400
<v Speaker 9>it's super exciting. It's uh a feeling that I've dreamt

0:05:09.400 --> 0:05:11.119
<v Speaker 9>since i was a little kid. And now I'm gonna

0:05:11.160 --> 0:05:15.000
<v Speaker 9>play my first NFL game here coming up. So all

0:05:15.000 --> 0:05:17.320
<v Speaker 9>good angst. You know, I'm super excited and I can't wait.

0:05:18.760 --> 0:05:20.400
<v Speaker 6>You know, it's a different physicality.

0:05:23.080 --> 0:05:28.000
<v Speaker 9>Yeah, there's definitely level changes to everything, especially in physicality, strength, speed,

0:05:29.279 --> 0:05:29.840
<v Speaker 9>you name it.

0:05:30.040 --> 0:05:31.920
<v Speaker 6>Uh, when he gets to this kind of level.

0:05:31.960 --> 0:05:34.839
<v Speaker 9>But you know, my my transition from college to the

0:05:34.880 --> 0:05:38.680
<v Speaker 9>pros is uh, super smooth. In my opinion, so you know,

0:05:38.720 --> 0:05:40.839
<v Speaker 9>I'm picking picking it up every single day, and you know,

0:05:40.880 --> 0:05:53.560
<v Speaker 9>I'm my whole main focus is just getting better and better. Yeah,

0:05:53.680 --> 0:05:55.640
<v Speaker 9>you know, first, second or third team, It didn't matter

0:05:55.680 --> 0:05:57.719
<v Speaker 9>for me. You know, my whole goal is just uh,

0:05:58.040 --> 0:06:00.120
<v Speaker 9>you know, be the best offensive lineman I can to

0:06:00.160 --> 0:06:03.200
<v Speaker 9>help protect the quarterback and open up running lanes and

0:06:04.000 --> 0:06:06.880
<v Speaker 9>just be the best offense we can. And that's my

0:06:06.920 --> 0:06:09.039
<v Speaker 9>whole job as an offensive lineman. It didn't really matter

0:06:09.720 --> 0:06:11.800
<v Speaker 9>what team I was running with because I knew if

0:06:11.800 --> 0:06:15.040
<v Speaker 9>I played well and did what I wanted to do,

0:06:15.440 --> 0:06:17.520
<v Speaker 9>you know, we'd be in a good spot as an offense.

0:06:17.960 --> 0:06:19.640
<v Speaker 7>Part of your game, do you think you made the

0:06:19.680 --> 0:06:21.840
<v Speaker 7>most progress and can take buck up camp.

0:06:21.640 --> 0:06:26.200
<v Speaker 9>To Yeah, I definitely. I definitely would just say probably

0:06:26.240 --> 0:06:28.400
<v Speaker 9>my hands. You know, I think, especially when you get

0:06:28.440 --> 0:06:32.840
<v Speaker 9>to this level, hands or everything, whether that's hand placement

0:06:32.880 --> 0:06:35.400
<v Speaker 9>on a power move, a speed move, hands in.

0:06:35.360 --> 0:06:37.520
<v Speaker 6>The run game. You know, you name it a to Z.

0:06:37.720 --> 0:06:39.159
<v Speaker 9>You know, I'm just trying to get better and better,

0:06:39.160 --> 0:06:41.120
<v Speaker 9>and I feel like I've really made a big stride

0:06:41.120 --> 0:06:41.920
<v Speaker 9>in that department.

0:06:42.160 --> 0:06:44.039
<v Speaker 8>On the flip side, where do you want to still

0:06:44.240 --> 0:06:45.240
<v Speaker 8>see the most growth?

0:06:45.320 --> 0:06:46.840
<v Speaker 2>You know, what part of your game. Do you still

0:06:46.839 --> 0:06:47.960
<v Speaker 2>feel the Union games for the.

0:06:47.880 --> 0:06:50.160
<v Speaker 9>Most Yeah, I mean, you name it. I I got

0:06:50.160 --> 0:06:52.279
<v Speaker 9>to improve on a lot of things as an offensive lineman.

0:06:52.400 --> 0:06:55.159
<v Speaker 9>You know, if I was the perfect offensive lineman, you know,

0:06:56.160 --> 0:06:58.680
<v Speaker 9>I don't know who i'd be, but I'm not that yet.

0:06:58.760 --> 0:07:01.280
<v Speaker 6>So I got a to z to work on.

0:07:01.400 --> 0:07:04.480
<v Speaker 9>So you know, whether that's stuff not even on the field, uh,

0:07:04.720 --> 0:07:09.080
<v Speaker 9>working on in the meeting rooms, that's I really couldn't

0:07:09.080 --> 0:07:10.000
<v Speaker 9>give you one answer there.

0:07:10.240 --> 0:07:11.960
<v Speaker 8>I mean, you see, the preseason game is me and

0:07:12.080 --> 0:07:15.200
<v Speaker 8>very different things to different players, but it doesn't feel.

0:07:14.960 --> 0:07:16.080
<v Speaker 2>Like a big deal for you.

0:07:16.240 --> 0:07:18.000
<v Speaker 8>I mean not just your first stand, but I mean,

0:07:18.520 --> 0:07:20.760
<v Speaker 8>you know, a chance to prove yourself, get real, you know,

0:07:20.760 --> 0:07:21.760
<v Speaker 8>game reps, all that stuff.

0:07:21.840 --> 0:07:22.720
<v Speaker 6>Yeah. Absolutely.

0:07:22.800 --> 0:07:26.680
<v Speaker 9>You know, anytime there's a game, you know there's got

0:07:26.800 --> 0:07:29.800
<v Speaker 9>to be that much level intensity and focus going into it.

0:07:29.840 --> 0:07:31.880
<v Speaker 6>So you know, this Friday, I'm looking forward to it.

0:07:33.200 --> 0:07:34.960
<v Speaker 5>I feel like these preced games or a chance for

0:07:35.040 --> 0:07:36.400
<v Speaker 5>you to potentially man.

0:07:36.320 --> 0:07:36.840
<v Speaker 1>Start your job.

0:07:37.160 --> 0:07:38.280

0:07:38.560 --> 0:07:43.000
<v Speaker 9>I you know, I come into practice games, meeting rooms

0:07:43.040 --> 0:07:45.000
<v Speaker 9>with that mentality just compete and be the best off

0:07:45.000 --> 0:07:48.600
<v Speaker 9>in slimming I can. So you know that's my whole

0:07:48.600 --> 0:07:50.920
<v Speaker 9>main goal is just a day and day stack days

0:07:50.960 --> 0:07:53.880
<v Speaker 9>and make sure I'm doing my absolute best and good

0:07:53.880 --> 0:07:55.280
<v Speaker 9>results are come out from there.

0:07:55.440 --> 0:07:57.080
<v Speaker 1>A lot of rookies talk about kind of the off

0:07:57.080 --> 0:08:01.720
<v Speaker 1>the field stuff, you know, it's diet, nutrition and training.

0:08:01.920 --> 0:08:03.680
<v Speaker 1>How much of that is gonna focus really, and.

0:08:05.800 --> 0:08:06.480
<v Speaker 6>It's been huge.

0:08:06.560 --> 0:08:09.160
<v Speaker 9>You know, we have a great Sarah and heard Sarah

0:08:09.160 --> 0:08:11.480
<v Speaker 9>and Rachel do a great job with their staff and

0:08:11.720 --> 0:08:13.920
<v Speaker 9>the whole cafeteria. It's it's always a great time going

0:08:13.960 --> 0:08:16.440
<v Speaker 9>in there for meals, and we're super dialed from the

0:08:16.680 --> 0:08:20.600
<v Speaker 9>new nutrition, from the hydration to the strength, all the

0:08:20.600 --> 0:08:23.200
<v Speaker 9>aspects outside of the on practice and on game stuff.

0:08:23.680 --> 0:08:27.480
<v Speaker 9>I've been super dialed in with everybody. So yeah, it's been,

0:08:27.560 --> 0:08:28.679
<v Speaker 9>it's been. It's been awesome.

0:08:29.320 --> 0:08:32.520
<v Speaker 5>Roger Ravels prioritized positional versatility for their offensive lineman. We

0:08:32.559 --> 0:08:34.600
<v Speaker 5>saw you hop in for Ronnie Stanley on one snap

0:08:34.600 --> 0:08:36.440
<v Speaker 5>that you've been mostly playing on the right side. Is

0:08:36.440 --> 0:08:38.360
<v Speaker 5>that something you've been working on working on both sides?

0:08:38.360 --> 0:08:39.560
<v Speaker 5>Are you really strict the right side?

0:08:39.600 --> 0:08:41.679
<v Speaker 9>Yeah, I mean ever since rookie Minnie Camp, I've been

0:08:41.720 --> 0:08:45.559
<v Speaker 9>wrapping both sides of the line, and coach Jody and

0:08:45.720 --> 0:08:48.160
<v Speaker 9>I think coach Harve's really want to make an emphasis,

0:08:48.240 --> 0:08:51.679
<v Speaker 9>especially coach Mounkin on being versatile, not just myself too.

0:08:51.720 --> 0:08:55.520
<v Speaker 9>It could be Ronnie, pat Tyler, you name it. So

0:08:55.760 --> 0:08:58.240
<v Speaker 9>it's anyone could play any position, especially in this league.

0:08:58.280 --> 0:09:00.560
<v Speaker 6>So, yeah, you've.

0:09:00.520 --> 0:09:04.640
<v Speaker 7>Noticed strength wise going to college to the NFL, both

0:09:04.640 --> 0:09:06.839
<v Speaker 7>for yourself and obviously some of the guys you're going to.

0:09:06.760 --> 0:09:07.120
<v Speaker 3>Get to see it.

0:09:07.200 --> 0:09:10.680
<v Speaker 9>Yeah, I'd say the transition between the get off off

0:09:10.800 --> 0:09:14.560
<v Speaker 9>the line of the snap and you know that that

0:09:14.679 --> 0:09:17.160
<v Speaker 9>instant moment where you know a lot of strength is

0:09:17.160 --> 0:09:19.280
<v Speaker 9>going to be applied, whether it's a power move, uh,

0:09:19.360 --> 0:09:22.000
<v Speaker 9>speed to power, power to speed, uh, you name it.

0:09:22.080 --> 0:09:25.440
<v Speaker 9>And there's there's a lot of transition to the college

0:09:25.480 --> 0:09:28.319
<v Speaker 9>at the NFL level, especially, but especially off the off

0:09:28.400 --> 0:09:30.280
<v Speaker 9>the snap. I think that's where I saw the biggest

0:09:30.600 --> 0:09:32.160
<v Speaker 9>jump when it came to that.

0:09:33.080 --> 0:09:35.560
<v Speaker 8>I think you've seen guys taking a lap jumping off

0:09:35.600 --> 0:09:38.480
<v Speaker 8>side of How much of an incentive is that to

0:09:38.559 --> 0:09:40.280
<v Speaker 8>stay off of at And do you think that's going

0:09:40.320 --> 0:09:41.360
<v Speaker 8>to carry over your game as.

0:09:41.240 --> 0:09:44.360
<v Speaker 9>Far as opening guys, Oh, absolutely, as soon as as

0:09:44.360 --> 0:09:46.200
<v Speaker 9>soon as the play is called, you know that's definitely

0:09:46.320 --> 0:09:48.520
<v Speaker 9>you have the whole play that you gotta know what

0:09:48.559 --> 0:09:50.839
<v Speaker 9>you're getting down, you gotta know your assignment, and then

0:09:51.000 --> 0:09:53.240
<v Speaker 9>most importantly got into the snapcount at the end of

0:09:52.840 --> 0:09:56.520
<v Speaker 9>the play call. So if the running and lap wasn't

0:09:57.080 --> 0:09:59.480
<v Speaker 9>big enough incentive to not jump off sides, man, I

0:09:59.520 --> 0:10:03.280
<v Speaker 9>don't know what. So, yeah, that's definitely a big part

0:10:03.280 --> 0:10:05.040
<v Speaker 9>of the game, especially as an offensive lineman.

0:10:05.040 --> 0:10:05.600
<v Speaker 6>You're get off.

0:10:06.280 --> 0:10:09.200
<v Speaker 7>Did you have any pretty game hoardles or anything.

0:10:10.040 --> 0:10:10.400
<v Speaker 6>Nah.

0:10:10.440 --> 0:10:11.920
<v Speaker 9>You know, I think I'm just gonna do the same

0:10:11.960 --> 0:10:15.520
<v Speaker 9>thing I did in college. Really, you know, I think

0:10:15.600 --> 0:10:18.320
<v Speaker 9>some of the logistics will be a little bit different now,

0:10:18.640 --> 0:10:21.920
<v Speaker 9>but I think everything for myself pregames just gonna be

0:10:21.960 --> 0:10:23.760
<v Speaker 9>to stay the same, and you know, I'm looking forward

0:10:23.800 --> 0:10:26.360
<v Speaker 9>to Friday.

0:10:27.559 --> 0:10:30.920
<v Speaker 1>We also heard from bank Cleveland. He's competing for snaps

0:10:30.960 --> 0:10:34.080
<v Speaker 1>at right guard, but lately he's been taking snaps at center.

0:10:34.160 --> 0:10:37.680
<v Speaker 1>Tyler Linnenbaum is currently sidelined with an injury, but bank

0:10:37.720 --> 0:10:41.040
<v Speaker 1>Cleveland has stepped into that starting center job in practice

0:10:41.080 --> 0:10:43.760
<v Speaker 1>this week and he's performed well. He talked about the

0:10:43.800 --> 0:10:46.840
<v Speaker 1>opportunity in front of him in these preseason games and

0:10:46.880 --> 0:10:48.840
<v Speaker 1>while Linderbaum is sidelined.

0:10:56.040 --> 0:10:58.640
<v Speaker 4>Uh, you know, I'll see myself really fitting in wherever,

0:10:59.000 --> 0:11:01.400
<v Speaker 4>wherever I'm needed. I mean, you know, this this week,

0:11:01.400 --> 0:11:03.559
<v Speaker 4>I've been playing a little bit more center than other places,

0:11:03.600 --> 0:11:06.280
<v Speaker 4>and you know, I'm I'm here to you know, earn

0:11:06.320 --> 0:11:08.160
<v Speaker 4>a spot on this team and wherever they need me

0:11:08.200 --> 0:11:10.360
<v Speaker 4>at to do that. That's that's what I'm gonna do.

0:11:13.960 --> 0:11:15.319
<v Speaker 4>How would you describe it?

0:11:16.600 --> 0:11:16.720
<v Speaker 3>Oh?

0:11:16.840 --> 0:11:19.040
<v Speaker 4>No, I'm I feel perfectly fine at center. You know,

0:11:19.120 --> 0:11:21.400
<v Speaker 4>they started working me in there last year, so I

0:11:21.400 --> 0:11:23.080
<v Speaker 4>mean it's it's not like they just threw me into

0:11:23.120 --> 0:11:25.760
<v Speaker 4>the fire this week. So I mean, I'm I'm definitely

0:11:25.760 --> 0:11:28.880
<v Speaker 4>extremely comfortable there.

0:11:31.960 --> 0:11:35.160
<v Speaker 2>People will talk about it nacer brick season for a guy.

0:11:35.400 --> 0:11:36.719
<v Speaker 2>Do you do you see it that way?

0:11:36.760 --> 0:11:38.760
<v Speaker 6>I mean, your your your four year I.

0:11:38.760 --> 0:11:41.680
<v Speaker 2>Mean, what are the stakes to your mind of the

0:11:41.679 --> 0:11:42.400
<v Speaker 2>next month?

0:11:42.840 --> 0:11:44.880
<v Speaker 4>I mean I say that the stakes are definitely higher,

0:11:45.000 --> 0:11:47.400
<v Speaker 4>I feel like, but you know, at the end of

0:11:47.440 --> 0:11:49.120
<v Speaker 4>the day, it's the same thing I've been doing for

0:11:49.160 --> 0:11:51.560
<v Speaker 4>the last three years, just showing up to work every

0:11:51.600 --> 0:11:54.640
<v Speaker 4>day and giving it everything I got to, you know,

0:11:54.720 --> 0:11:56.560
<v Speaker 4>be the best player that I can for this team

0:11:56.600 --> 0:11:59.560
<v Speaker 4>and for myself, and you know, let the chips.

0:11:59.400 --> 0:12:01.000
<v Speaker 6>Layn wherever they then.

0:12:01.040 --> 0:12:03.040
<v Speaker 5>The Ravens have often turned to you and they've needed

0:12:03.040 --> 0:12:04.839
<v Speaker 5>a spot starter or someone to come in to build

0:12:04.840 --> 0:12:07.080
<v Speaker 5>a game at card. Have those experiences in the past

0:12:07.080 --> 0:12:08.840
<v Speaker 5>given you more confidence to go out there trying to way

0:12:08.880 --> 0:12:09.880
<v Speaker 5>a starting job this year.

0:12:09.960 --> 0:12:10.719
<v Speaker 2>Oh absolutely.

0:12:10.760 --> 0:12:12.760
<v Speaker 4>I mean people don't realize how hard it is to

0:12:12.760 --> 0:12:14.800
<v Speaker 4>come off the sideline cold, you know, in the middle

0:12:14.840 --> 0:12:17.440
<v Speaker 4>of the third quarter and step up and expect to

0:12:17.440 --> 0:12:22.040
<v Speaker 4>take over and you know, perform at the highest level possible. So,

0:12:22.120 --> 0:12:24.640
<v Speaker 4>you know, being in that position before and plenty of

0:12:24.640 --> 0:12:27.600
<v Speaker 4>times in the past, you know, it just gives me

0:12:27.679 --> 0:12:29.800
<v Speaker 4>a lot of confidence knowing that no matter what, I

0:12:29.800 --> 0:12:31.520
<v Speaker 4>can step up and do whatever they need me to.

0:12:31.440 --> 0:12:40.200
<v Speaker 1>Do in my life.

0:12:40.480 --> 0:12:41.720
<v Speaker 6>Uh No, not really.

0:12:42.160 --> 0:12:45.960
<v Speaker 4>Whenever I first started last year, uh snapping a little bit,

0:12:46.000 --> 0:12:47.520
<v Speaker 4>you know, I always had to make sure the quarterbacks

0:12:47.559 --> 0:12:50.040
<v Speaker 4>knew they had a left handed center, just because the

0:12:50.360 --> 0:12:52.199
<v Speaker 4>path of the ball is just a little bit different

0:12:52.240 --> 0:12:54.800
<v Speaker 4>than what they're used to. But you know, I've worked

0:12:54.800 --> 0:12:57.319
<v Speaker 4>with everybody enough to where they they they all got

0:12:57.360 --> 0:12:57.680
<v Speaker 4>it down.

0:12:57.720 --> 0:13:05.160
<v Speaker 1>Now, how exeter are you for that your preseason game, the.

0:13:05.120 --> 0:13:07.400
<v Speaker 4>Opportunity you have to show this, oh man, I mean

0:13:07.440 --> 0:13:10.320
<v Speaker 4>the preseason is kind of our first look at you know,

0:13:10.400 --> 0:13:11.960
<v Speaker 4>who we who we're gonna be as a team and

0:13:11.960 --> 0:13:14.120
<v Speaker 4>who we're going to be as an offense, and you know,

0:13:14.200 --> 0:13:15.800
<v Speaker 4>you're gonna we're gonna have a lot of different guys

0:13:15.800 --> 0:13:18.520
<v Speaker 4>playing a lot of different spots, and uh, you know,

0:13:18.640 --> 0:13:20.560
<v Speaker 4>it's it's gonna be fun to go out there and

0:13:20.720 --> 0:13:23.520
<v Speaker 4>play different spots for myself and you know, see how

0:13:23.520 --> 0:13:26.360
<v Speaker 4>we all kind of fit into one another and you know,

0:13:26.480 --> 0:13:27.480
<v Speaker 4>make this offense work.

0:13:28.440 --> 0:13:30.880
<v Speaker 5>Then center's obviously position that requires a lot of communication.

0:13:31.000 --> 0:13:32.720
<v Speaker 5>Is that aspect of your game? You tried to step

0:13:32.800 --> 0:13:35.439
<v Speaker 5>up since working on center more? Is it more difficult

0:13:35.440 --> 0:13:37.040
<v Speaker 5>with a lot of pieces moving around you?

0:13:37.200 --> 0:13:40.240
<v Speaker 4>It was definitely more difficult. I ain't no doubt about that.

0:13:40.840 --> 0:13:43.000
<v Speaker 4>But uh no, I mean I feel like I'm I'm

0:13:43.040 --> 0:13:46.800
<v Speaker 4>extremely football smart and uh you know, center, the biggest

0:13:46.800 --> 0:13:48.480
<v Speaker 4>thing at center is just being able to, you know,

0:13:48.559 --> 0:13:50.640
<v Speaker 4>keep a cool head and do things on the fly.

0:13:51.400 --> 0:13:53.880
<v Speaker 4>And you know, first day was a little bit of

0:13:53.920 --> 0:13:55.600
<v Speaker 4>a struggle with it, but now you know, three days

0:13:55.600 --> 0:13:58.160
<v Speaker 4>into it, you know everything's flowing smooth, and you know

0:13:58.200 --> 0:13:59.720
<v Speaker 4>feel good about it.

0:14:00.040 --> 0:14:02.800
<v Speaker 7>You know Tyler Linderbahn and what's the communication with him

0:14:03.080 --> 0:14:04.839
<v Speaker 7>as a fourteen center?

0:14:05.400 --> 0:14:08.520
<v Speaker 4>You know, it's it's been nice, you know, playing beside

0:14:08.600 --> 0:14:11.720
<v Speaker 4>him and all that in the past, So I really,

0:14:11.800 --> 0:14:14.440
<v Speaker 4>you know, we we keep the same terminology and everything

0:14:14.480 --> 0:14:16.800
<v Speaker 4>like that. It's just a matter of you know, the

0:14:17.120 --> 0:14:19.560
<v Speaker 4>perspective in which you see the defensive fronts and things

0:14:19.600 --> 0:14:22.280
<v Speaker 4>like that is different. And you know, every day after practice,

0:14:22.280 --> 0:14:24.280
<v Speaker 4>I mean, he's in there watching film. We're going over

0:14:24.720 --> 0:14:26.320
<v Speaker 4>you know, how I can step better or do this

0:14:26.360 --> 0:14:28.680
<v Speaker 4>better and whatnot. So I mean it's it's been nice

0:14:28.680 --> 0:14:30.800
<v Speaker 4>oving somebody who's obviously as good as he is at

0:14:30.800 --> 0:14:33.800
<v Speaker 4>that position to you know, help me better myself.

0:14:36.120 --> 0:14:39.600
<v Speaker 6>You broke kids, it's great. It's an opportunity to show

0:14:39.680 --> 0:14:40.880
<v Speaker 6>them what else I can do.

0:14:41.080 --> 0:14:43.280
<v Speaker 9>Or is there an element of look, I'm not getting

0:14:43.360 --> 0:14:45.320
<v Speaker 9>rights that right guard, whether it's the problem.

0:14:46.160 --> 0:14:48.120
<v Speaker 4>No, I mean I don't think of it as you know,

0:14:48.400 --> 0:14:50.880
<v Speaker 4>taking reps away from other spots. I mean, you know,

0:14:50.880 --> 0:14:52.480
<v Speaker 4>they say the more you can do, you know, the

0:14:52.480 --> 0:14:54.880
<v Speaker 4>better off you're going to be. And you know, if

0:14:55.120 --> 0:14:56.680
<v Speaker 4>I have to be in that role of a backup

0:14:56.680 --> 0:14:58.920
<v Speaker 4>center at some point this year, then you know, I

0:14:59.240 --> 0:15:01.040
<v Speaker 4>want to be fully prayer to go in and do that.

0:15:01.120 --> 0:15:03.240
<v Speaker 4>So I love, you know that the fact that I'm

0:15:03.240 --> 0:15:04.720
<v Speaker 4>getting to play center and going to go out there

0:15:04.720 --> 0:15:07.200
<v Speaker 4>and get some wild game reps, you know, in that spot.

0:15:08.840 --> 0:15:12.440
<v Speaker 8>This summer has felt different for the offensive line overall,

0:15:12.440 --> 0:15:15.000
<v Speaker 8>in the sense that you have researching jobs up the grabs,

0:15:15.000 --> 0:15:18.320
<v Speaker 8>you have guys may betraying slightly less familiar roles.

0:15:18.320 --> 0:15:20.480
<v Speaker 2>I mean, it's it been a different.

0:15:19.880 --> 0:15:20.880
<v Speaker 6>Year, you know.

0:15:20.920 --> 0:15:23.120
<v Speaker 4>I wouldn't say a different year by any means, because

0:15:23.120 --> 0:15:26.640
<v Speaker 4>I mean every year you've got guys coming in, fighting

0:15:26.640 --> 0:15:30.240
<v Speaker 4>for spots, playing different spots, rolling in different locations and

0:15:30.280 --> 0:15:32.520
<v Speaker 4>things like that. So I don't think it's any different.

0:15:33.160 --> 0:15:34.880
<v Speaker 4>You know, you just got to make the most out

0:15:34.880 --> 0:15:37.240
<v Speaker 4>of the reps that you get where you get them,

0:15:37.400 --> 0:15:39.000
<v Speaker 4>you know, to try and secure that role as a

0:15:39.040 --> 0:15:52.240
<v Speaker 4>starter from week one. You know, I think the biggest

0:15:52.240 --> 0:15:54.800
<v Speaker 4>thing for me is when I'm you know, not in

0:15:54.880 --> 0:15:57.520
<v Speaker 4>not in with the with the group, kind of standing

0:15:57.520 --> 0:15:59.360
<v Speaker 4>around the back, I want to hear the play call.

0:15:59.440 --> 0:16:02.360
<v Speaker 4>I want to the defensive fronts, you know, I want

0:16:02.400 --> 0:16:04.320
<v Speaker 4>to you know, make my calls as if I were

0:16:04.360 --> 0:16:06.880
<v Speaker 4>in there right now. And I think that's, you know,

0:16:07.480 --> 0:16:10.240
<v Speaker 4>been the biggest difference for me. You know, even last

0:16:10.320 --> 0:16:12.480
<v Speaker 4>year when I started playing a little bit of center

0:16:12.480 --> 0:16:16.040
<v Speaker 4>here and there, was just being more attentive to the

0:16:16.040 --> 0:16:18.760
<v Speaker 4>defense and the way things are working, you know, from

0:16:18.800 --> 0:16:21.520
<v Speaker 4>a defensive stamp to the backfield and everything like that,

0:16:21.680 --> 0:16:23.320
<v Speaker 4>just you know, because I mean, it is a big

0:16:23.360 --> 0:16:26.120
<v Speaker 4>difference and it takes a lot of getting used to

0:16:26.520 --> 0:16:29.080
<v Speaker 4>and I think me taking those steps has really helped

0:16:29.080 --> 0:16:30.520
<v Speaker 4>me adjust to it quickly.

0:16:31.120 --> 0:16:35.560
<v Speaker 7>You've played center, college, high school, experience at it.

0:16:36.160 --> 0:16:38.080
<v Speaker 4>I played a little bit in high school, didn't play

0:16:38.120 --> 0:16:40.360
<v Speaker 4>in college, but you know, like I said earlier, i

0:16:40.360 --> 0:16:42.520
<v Speaker 4>mean they started rolling in at center last year, so

0:16:42.560 --> 0:16:45.480
<v Speaker 4>I've I've taken plenty of snaps, you know, and I'm

0:16:45.600 --> 0:16:46.320
<v Speaker 4>I'm good to go.
