45
00:02:17,960 --> 00:02:20,320
Speaker 1: even when I'm at my house in my backyard and whatnot.

46
00:02:21,000 --> 00:02:23,320
Speaker 1: I'll kind of like cross train getting a left tackle stance,

47
00:02:23,360 --> 00:02:26,359
Speaker 1: because anything can happen. Today I took you know, snaps

48
00:02:26,400 --> 00:02:29,519
Speaker 1: that right as you took the majority of the left

49
00:02:29,520 --> 00:02:32,440
Speaker 1: tackle snaps. I mean, but I feel good either way

50
00:02:32,440 --> 00:02:34,400

53
00:02:41,600 --> 00:02:43,800
Speaker 1: you don't get the center. I'm not going to use

54
00:02:43,800 --> 00:02:46,880
Speaker 1: the word disappointed. I mean if I get it, great,

55
00:02:46,919 --> 00:02:49,359
Speaker 1: God bless hallelujah. And if I don't, it's ontil the

56
00:02:49,400 --> 00:02:51,360
Speaker 1: next week. I can allow that to change my mindset.

57
00:02:51,400 --> 00:02:53,480
Speaker 1: I got to continue to continue to swing the acts

58
00:02:53,520 --> 00:02:55,400
Speaker 1: as I call it, and just chop wood until that

59
00:02:55,440 --> 00:02:58,679
Speaker 1: tree fall down, you know, irregardless of whatever happens. Uh,

60
00:02:59,080 --> 00:03:01,160

61
00:03:01,160 --> 00:03:03,280
Speaker 1: and my spirit is going to remain the same because

62
00:03:03,320 --> 00:03:08,680
Speaker 1: I'm confident in what I can bring to a team person.

63
00:03:09,480 --> 00:03:12,519
Speaker 1: I think Josh works extremely hard. I feel like Josh

64
00:03:12,600 --> 00:03:14,200
Speaker 1: is gonna go out there and he's gonna play well.

65
00:03:15,560 --> 00:03:18,680
Speaker 1: He's a competitor, He works his ass off every day.

66
00:03:18,720 --> 00:03:22,800
Speaker 1: He's always just doing something extra for recovery his body

67
00:03:22,919 --> 00:03:25,359
Speaker 1: or just something he's always doing extra. So I mean

68
00:03:25,400 --> 00:03:27,880
Speaker 1: the coaches are confident in him, then I'm confident in

69
00:03:32,880 --> 00:03:41,760
Speaker 1: kind of the injury done injury. But yeah, I mean,

70
00:03:42,240 --> 00:03:45,600
Speaker 1: it is tough losing a guy like at but that's

71
00:03:47,000 --> 00:03:48,640
Speaker 1: I hate to say it, but that just kind of happens,

72
00:03:48,760 --> 00:03:50,680
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying, And you can't, you know,

73
00:03:50,760 --> 00:03:52,440
Speaker 1: harp on it as a team too long, as hard

74
00:03:52,440 --> 00:03:54,440
Speaker 1: as it is, especially losing a guy like eighteen. I mean,

75
00:03:54,440 --> 00:03:57,160
Speaker 1: we're in the meat of the season right now, so

76
00:03:57,440 --> 00:03:58,880
Speaker 1: we kind of just got to roll with the punches,

77
00:03:59,000 --> 00:04:01,600
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying. I mean, obviously we love

78
00:04:01,640 --> 00:04:03,600
Speaker 1: to have at a part of it. We love to

79
00:04:03,640 --> 00:04:05,960
Speaker 1: have that situation not happening at all, but that's just

80
00:04:06,000 --> 00:04:08,440
Speaker 1: not the reality that we're living in right now, and

81
00:04:08,880 --> 00:04:10,520
Speaker 1: we just got to continue to move forward and press

82
00:04:10,520 --> 00:04:11,800
Speaker 1: on as an offensive, as a unit,
