1 00:00:00,280 --> 00:00:04,600 Speaker 1: How are you feeling physically great? Really good? Yeah, when 2 00:00:04,840 --> 00:00:06,840 Speaker 1: you know a training camp will be no issue getting 3 00:00:07,120 --> 00:00:08,680 Speaker 1: back to well, I don't want to say that, but 4 00:00:08,720 --> 00:00:10,079 Speaker 1: I am taking it one day at a time and 5 00:00:10,880 --> 00:00:15,880 Speaker 1: the perspective is very good. So what was that, I mean, 6 00:00:16,520 --> 00:00:18,800 Speaker 1: the process, like, as far as you know, after the season, 7 00:00:18,800 --> 00:00:20,400 Speaker 1: did you feel you need if you have something done 8 00:00:20,440 --> 00:00:22,279 Speaker 1: and kind of waited, I mean you think you could 9 00:00:22,320 --> 00:00:24,040 Speaker 1: go away on its own and then flared up. What 10 00:00:24,079 --> 00:00:25,680 Speaker 1: was that whole deal? Like? Yeah, no, I didn't know 11 00:00:25,680 --> 00:00:28,120 Speaker 1: anything about it. You know, you can't ever predict these things. 12 00:00:28,120 --> 00:00:30,440 Speaker 1: It just kind of came up and thanks to Ronny 13 00:00:30,520 --> 00:00:35,520 Speaker 1: and the training staff, they took care of me. So 14 00:00:35,520 --> 00:00:39,400 Speaker 1: so it came up fairly recently, fairly recently. Yeah, that's right. 15 00:00:42,479 --> 00:00:45,239 Speaker 1: What's what's your I mean at this time last year, 16 00:00:45,400 --> 00:00:47,599 Speaker 1: you're after all those years and then when you're a 17 00:00:47,600 --> 00:00:49,280 Speaker 1: new team, now you're here. I mean, is there a big, 18 00:00:49,280 --> 00:00:53,279 Speaker 1: big difference for you year number two? Is you're one 19 00:00:53,320 --> 00:00:55,640 Speaker 1: to two different or different teams different you know you're 20 00:00:55,760 --> 00:00:57,959 Speaker 1: one year two. I mean your your comfort level, you're 21 00:00:58,000 --> 00:01:01,360 Speaker 1: familiarity everything here? Yeah, yeah, it is nice um getting 22 00:01:01,360 --> 00:01:03,279 Speaker 1: to know the area a little bit this offseason has 23 00:01:03,320 --> 00:01:06,000 Speaker 1: been nice. Um, get a little more comfortable in our 24 00:01:06,040 --> 00:01:09,280 Speaker 1: place where we're staying here. Um, kids are in school 25 00:01:09,319 --> 00:01:11,520 Speaker 1: and everything, so that's really nice. And and Lexi's getting 26 00:01:11,520 --> 00:01:13,080 Speaker 1: to know my wife is get to know some friends 27 00:01:13,080 --> 00:01:15,440 Speaker 1: and things. So those all kind of contribute to just 28 00:01:15,520 --> 00:01:18,560 Speaker 1: the comfort level in a new place. And and in 29 00:01:18,640 --> 00:01:20,399 Speaker 1: terms of the team and everything, you know, I really 30 00:01:20,400 --> 00:01:22,399 Speaker 1: love the guys, and I love the coaching staff and 31 00:01:22,440 --> 00:01:26,160 Speaker 1: everyone that's been wonderful to us. Just a circle back 32 00:01:26,200 --> 00:01:28,840 Speaker 1: for a second. Sure you'll be on the field for 33 00:01:28,920 --> 00:01:34,039 Speaker 1: training camp? Am? Sure? Are you ercent? Sure you'll be there? Yeah? 34 00:01:34,280 --> 00:01:37,080 Speaker 1: It's hard to say. I mean, um, I take one 35 00:01:37,120 --> 00:01:39,520 Speaker 1: day at a time, and I'm on the great uh 36 00:01:39,680 --> 00:01:44,039 Speaker 1: path right now. I'm getting better every day. What do 37 00:01:44,040 --> 00:01:46,240 Speaker 1: you think of Zeitler so far? Getting to know him 38 00:01:46,280 --> 00:01:49,200 Speaker 1: as a teammate, He's excellent. He's excellent. He's very professional 39 00:01:49,240 --> 00:01:52,040 Speaker 1: about the way he goes about his business. Um, he's 40 00:01:52,080 --> 00:01:54,720 Speaker 1: a great teammate. He's always looking out for others. He 41 00:01:54,760 --> 00:01:57,640 Speaker 1: works incredibly hard, and he's very talented and gifted and 42 00:01:57,760 --> 00:02:03,200 Speaker 1: playing football ordered to haven't you get another proven veteran, 43 00:02:03,240 --> 00:02:05,440 Speaker 1: a guy who has done it for a long period 44 00:02:05,480 --> 00:02:08,040 Speaker 1: of time, have been successful in the sleep, have that 45 00:02:08,080 --> 00:02:11,000 Speaker 1: person alongside you and in that Offen's alignment, Well, it's 46 00:02:11,000 --> 00:02:14,120 Speaker 1: always nice. They brought a couple of those guys in there, um, 47 00:02:14,240 --> 00:02:16,520 Speaker 1: with some experience under their belt, the guys that know 48 00:02:16,600 --> 00:02:18,640 Speaker 1: how games go and how to how to win games, 49 00:02:19,360 --> 00:02:22,720 Speaker 1: because it's difficult in this league. So I'm certainly glad 50 00:02:22,760 --> 00:02:24,959 Speaker 1: to have everyone in that locker room and and they're 51 00:02:24,960 --> 00:02:27,720 Speaker 1: all doing a great job. I think the perception was 52 00:02:27,760 --> 00:02:29,600 Speaker 1: that you and Will got better together as a season 53 00:02:29,600 --> 00:02:31,240 Speaker 1: went along. Last year. I mean, how much more can 54 00:02:31,280 --> 00:02:34,600 Speaker 1: you guys grow just having that familiarity. Well, I think 55 00:02:34,639 --> 00:02:36,520 Speaker 1: they always say, what from your first year second year 56 00:02:36,560 --> 00:02:39,880 Speaker 1: is the biggest step in improvement? So, um, I've seen 57 00:02:39,919 --> 00:02:42,600 Speaker 1: a lot of improvements throughout our whole group. And so 58 00:02:42,720 --> 00:02:45,480 Speaker 1: I think maybe you could characterize not just a person, 59 00:02:45,639 --> 00:02:48,440 Speaker 1: but maybe the whole group from one year to two 60 00:02:48,520 --> 00:02:51,840 Speaker 1: years maybe a big improvement. And certainly our expectations are 61 00:02:51,840 --> 00:02:56,080 Speaker 1: sky high. What do you what do you anticipate the 62 00:02:56,120 --> 00:02:59,119 Speaker 1: transition would be for you with one team your whole 63 00:02:59,120 --> 00:03:00,800 Speaker 1: career in the coming to you would look, you know 64 00:03:00,840 --> 00:03:02,280 Speaker 1: when you signed and you think, well, this is going 65 00:03:02,320 --> 00:03:03,960 Speaker 1: to be an adjustment. This is gonna be hard for 66 00:03:04,040 --> 00:03:06,440 Speaker 1: you, you you know physically, you know, being on the field, 67 00:03:06,440 --> 00:03:08,680 Speaker 1: new teammates, new surroundings, And how do you think it 68 00:03:08,760 --> 00:03:11,840 Speaker 1: looking back? How do you think it went? Um? I 69 00:03:11,880 --> 00:03:15,519 Speaker 1: think the opportunity was so amazing. Um, we did it. 70 00:03:15,880 --> 00:03:18,080 Speaker 1: My family did it because we believe God was up 71 00:03:18,120 --> 00:03:20,040 Speaker 1: to something and he has a purpose in us being here. 72 00:03:20,160 --> 00:03:23,920 Speaker 1: We still strongly believe that, and so it went. It was. 73 00:03:24,040 --> 00:03:26,280 Speaker 1: It was certainly difficult. I mean, it was not easy, 74 00:03:26,320 --> 00:03:30,239 Speaker 1: but we anticipated that, and um, we're we're building strategies 75 00:03:30,280 --> 00:03:31,760 Speaker 1: to kind of combat that and work at that and 76 00:03:31,760 --> 00:03:33,480 Speaker 1: get better and have a better year this year than 77 00:03:33,480 --> 00:03:35,760 Speaker 1: we did last year. What were your feelings watching the 78 00:03:35,800 --> 00:03:38,880 Speaker 1: Super Bowl? Very excited for them. Yeah, A lot of 79 00:03:38,920 --> 00:03:40,280 Speaker 1: my friends are on that team, and they did a 80 00:03:40,280 --> 00:03:44,080 Speaker 1: great job and I was very proud of them. What 81 00:03:44,120 --> 00:03:48,880 Speaker 1: are your impressions of Daniel Daniel Jones kieh nice guy. 82 00:03:48,880 --> 00:03:50,839 Speaker 1: I met him in the hallway. I had a little 83 00:03:50,840 --> 00:03:53,000 Speaker 1: conversation about Duke. I wish I could have gotten into Duke, 84 00:03:53,080 --> 00:03:56,440 Speaker 1: but he's a great guy. So yeah, did you learn 85 00:03:56,480 --> 00:04:00,360 Speaker 1: anything from last year's offensive life? Obviously a bunch of 86 00:04:00,360 --> 00:04:03,280 Speaker 1: new guys, yourself included, and the first seven or eight 87 00:04:03,280 --> 00:04:06,680 Speaker 1: games didn't go well. Learn anything from that experience that like, 88 00:04:06,840 --> 00:04:09,720 Speaker 1: you guys are gonna do something different this offseason as 89 00:04:09,720 --> 00:04:12,320 Speaker 1: an offensive life. That's I understand. Your question is like, 90 00:04:12,360 --> 00:04:13,680 Speaker 1: are you gonna be better this year than you were 91 00:04:13,760 --> 00:04:18,040 Speaker 1: last year? Well? Yes, we learned a lot and we're 92 00:04:18,279 --> 00:04:20,719 Speaker 1: certainly working hard to be the best that we can be. 93 00:04:20,800 --> 00:04:23,360 Speaker 1: And like I said, on expectations of how we're gonna 94 00:04:23,360 --> 00:04:25,560 Speaker 1: perform and all those things are really very high. How 95 00:04:25,560 --> 00:04:27,040 Speaker 1: do you think you did last year on the field, 96 00:04:27,120 --> 00:04:28,840 Speaker 1: I mean, you know from start to finish, you know, 97 00:04:28,960 --> 00:04:30,880 Speaker 1: did you see progression? You know? I mean there was 98 00:04:30,960 --> 00:04:34,960 Speaker 1: a sense that maybe it took a while. Yeah. Um, 99 00:04:35,000 --> 00:04:37,479 Speaker 1: one of my hardest critics is myself, and I'm always 100 00:04:37,480 --> 00:04:39,880 Speaker 1: hard on myself, and I I work hard to improve 101 00:04:39,880 --> 00:04:41,479 Speaker 1: those things. I know that there's a ton that I 102 00:04:41,480 --> 00:04:43,560 Speaker 1: need to work at. There's a ton throughout my entire 103 00:04:43,640 --> 00:04:45,680 Speaker 1: career that I haven't been as good as i'd like 104 00:04:45,720 --> 00:04:46,960 Speaker 1: the base, So I'm going to continue to work at 105 00:04:47,000 --> 00:04:49,000 Speaker 1: those things to be the best I can. And when 106 00:04:49,000 --> 00:04:51,240 Speaker 1: you came to a new team, the money, you know, 107 00:04:51,400 --> 00:04:53,000 Speaker 1: we're looking at you as a free agent. You know, 108 00:04:53,360 --> 00:04:57,520 Speaker 1: did that add something like pressure urgency? Did did you 109 00:04:57,520 --> 00:04:59,640 Speaker 1: feel looking back, Oh yeah, maybe I pressed a little bit, 110 00:04:59,720 --> 00:05:01,599 Speaker 1: or I did a little trying to do too much 111 00:05:01,640 --> 00:05:05,359 Speaker 1: because I was perceived differently here. That's a great question. 112 00:05:05,400 --> 00:05:09,000 Speaker 1: I haven't evaluated that yet, so I don't know exactly. Um. 113 00:05:09,400 --> 00:05:12,400 Speaker 1: I think that I've always been under a lot of 114 00:05:12,400 --> 00:05:15,039 Speaker 1: pressure with high expectations, and I embraced that. I know 115 00:05:15,200 --> 00:05:16,880 Speaker 1: that's what it is, and that's that's okay.
