1
00:00:00,360 --> 00:00:09,520
Speaker 1: Hello everyone, But are you going? I'm here right? Will

2
00:00:09,560 --> 00:00:14,360
Speaker 1: you'd be out the field to borrow? Does this have

3
00:00:14,440 --> 00:00:16,239
Speaker 1: been like list of progress? Been like? When when you

4
00:00:16,400 --> 00:00:17,960
Speaker 1: when you do, you just sort of feel like your

5
00:00:18,000 --> 00:00:22,360
Speaker 1: old self again and good? You know what? I feel? Great? Um,

6
00:00:22,400 --> 00:00:24,319
Speaker 1: I haven't played football in a while, so we'll see.

7
00:00:24,360 --> 00:00:28,800
Speaker 1: I mean, that's what camp's all about. Right When are

8
00:00:28,840 --> 00:00:31,200
Speaker 1: you cleared? Though? I mean when when are you cleared

9
00:00:31,240 --> 00:00:34,600
Speaker 1: to do everything with your angle? Um? Well, you know what,

10
00:00:34,680 --> 00:00:36,320
Speaker 1: I'll be out there tomorrow. I'll be doing everything they

11
00:00:36,360 --> 00:00:37,960
Speaker 1: asked me to do. And that's kind of what I've

12
00:00:37,960 --> 00:00:41,199
Speaker 1: been told. So as far as I know, is there

13
00:00:41,200 --> 00:00:44,040
Speaker 1: ever much concerned you wouldn't be able to be on

14
00:00:44,120 --> 00:00:47,360
Speaker 1: the field day one? Mm hmm. You know how when

15
00:00:47,720 --> 00:00:49,639
Speaker 1: doctors are these things, they give you a window when

16
00:00:49,640 --> 00:00:51,240
Speaker 1: you might be ready when you might not be ready.

17
00:00:51,280 --> 00:00:53,319
Speaker 1: So you just do the best you canny to day

18
00:00:53,360 --> 00:00:56,800
Speaker 1: and your body dictates when you'll be ready. So you

19
00:00:56,880 --> 00:00:59,760
Speaker 1: might be limited. I don't know what, Like I said,

20
00:00:59,760 --> 00:01:01,720
Speaker 1: I don't know what the plan is with the coaches.

21
00:01:01,760 --> 00:01:04,640
Speaker 1: I don't know what they have planned for me at all.

22
00:01:04,720 --> 00:01:08,280
Speaker 1: So they have not discussed that with men because of

23
00:01:09,040 --> 00:01:12,080
Speaker 1: any limitations that were on you following the procedure. Did

24
00:01:12,120 --> 00:01:14,360
Speaker 1: you have to adjust what your plans were for the

25
00:01:14,400 --> 00:01:16,679
Speaker 1: off season in terms of getting yourself ready to be

26
00:01:17,640 --> 00:01:20,240
Speaker 1: here when they clear you and tell you what you

27
00:01:20,280 --> 00:01:23,440
Speaker 1: should do, and just the way that I ran my

28
00:01:23,520 --> 00:01:26,520
Speaker 1: typical off season is Yeah, in comparison, yeah, I was

29
00:01:26,560 --> 00:01:28,600
Speaker 1: doing a lot more rehab this offseason than I would

30
00:01:28,640 --> 00:01:30,880
Speaker 1: usually do. How does that? How does that affect you

31
00:01:31,640 --> 00:01:33,720
Speaker 1: going you know, taking the field? Oh? I hope it

32
00:01:33,760 --> 00:01:35,440
Speaker 1: helps me. I mean all that stuff is really great

33
00:01:35,480 --> 00:01:39,320
Speaker 1: just for strengthening mobility, flexibility, range, emotion. All that stuff,

34
00:01:39,319 --> 00:01:41,040
Speaker 1: I think, even if you're not injured, is really good.

35
00:01:41,120 --> 00:01:43,560
Speaker 1: So it's been good. Do you anticipate even though there's

36
00:01:43,560 --> 00:01:46,600
Speaker 1: new players here, Um, the two veterans they brought in

37
00:01:46,640 --> 00:01:48,880
Speaker 1: our veterans, they're you know, similar to you and age

38
00:01:48,920 --> 00:01:52,400
Speaker 1: and experience of things. Um, do you anticipate that will

39
00:01:53,240 --> 00:01:56,080
Speaker 1: hasten the growing that you guys have to do together

40
00:01:56,120 --> 00:01:59,120
Speaker 1: that these guys have been around. Yeah, I'm actually really

41
00:01:59,120 --> 00:02:02,320
Speaker 1: excited because, um, they've all learned from different coaches, played

42
00:02:02,320 --> 00:02:05,400
Speaker 1: in different systems, been successful in different ways, and I

43
00:02:05,440 --> 00:02:06,840
Speaker 1: think that we'll all be able to teach each other

44
00:02:06,880 --> 00:02:08,320
Speaker 1: and learn from each other in a lot of ways.

45
00:02:08,320 --> 00:02:12,640
Speaker 1: So I'm looking forward to that for sure. How do

46
00:02:12,680 --> 00:02:16,960
Speaker 1: you go about building chemistry even at this point as

47
00:02:17,000 --> 00:02:21,360
Speaker 1: an office, Well, you know, I don't think you make

48
00:02:21,360 --> 00:02:23,400
Speaker 1: it too complex. I mean, you go to work every day,

49
00:02:23,440 --> 00:02:24,839
Speaker 1: you work out with each other, you do the best

50
00:02:24,880 --> 00:02:28,080
Speaker 1: you can, You spend time with each other, and the

51
00:02:28,160 --> 00:02:29,880
Speaker 1: rest is up to God and he kind of aligns

52
00:02:29,919 --> 00:02:32,240
Speaker 1: things the way they should be. I guess. Um, So

53
00:02:32,320 --> 00:02:35,160
Speaker 1: there's no formula or rocket science to it. It's just

54
00:02:35,200 --> 00:02:38,320
Speaker 1: the human nature, I guess. Is it different working with

55
00:02:38,440 --> 00:02:41,280
Speaker 1: veterans and you know, maybe like Rookie, like Will was

56
00:02:41,360 --> 00:02:44,639
Speaker 1: last year, do you take a different approach with getting

57
00:02:44,680 --> 00:02:47,000
Speaker 1: to know them and their tendencies and what they like

58
00:02:47,120 --> 00:02:52,639
Speaker 1: to do? Um? Great question. I think that you probably

59
00:02:52,639 --> 00:02:54,520
Speaker 1: would have to because they had done it different ways

60
00:02:54,520 --> 00:02:56,639
Speaker 1: in the past, and that you would have to somewhat

61
00:02:56,720 --> 00:02:59,560
Speaker 1: understand where they're coming from and whether Rookie, they're still

62
00:02:59,600 --> 00:03:02,480
Speaker 1: learning there sharing and figure things out, and um, you

63
00:03:02,480 --> 00:03:04,680
Speaker 1: can maybe mold that a little bit more. It's the

64
00:03:04,680 --> 00:03:06,720
Speaker 1: only thing I can think of with that. Yeah, there

65
00:03:06,760 --> 00:03:08,160
Speaker 1: was a lot of talk last year that one of

66
00:03:08,160 --> 00:03:10,280
Speaker 1: the reasons why the offense played so much better down

67
00:03:10,280 --> 00:03:13,560
Speaker 1: the stretch, was improved play up front. There's a chance

68
00:03:13,560 --> 00:03:16,799
Speaker 1: you guys are starting three new guys week one, then

69
00:03:16,800 --> 00:03:19,240
Speaker 1: started week seventeen. How much of an adjustment is that?

70
00:03:19,320 --> 00:03:22,480
Speaker 1: And how can you get better and well? Yet that

71
00:03:22,480 --> 00:03:24,160
Speaker 1: we have a lot of the shoot versus the slow

72
00:03:24,240 --> 00:03:26,600
Speaker 1: start that happened last year, I think that's yet to

73
00:03:26,639 --> 00:03:28,320
Speaker 1: be seen. I think that that's what we're gonna do

74
00:03:28,360 --> 00:03:30,600
Speaker 1: in camp. We're gonna put it in real life as

75
00:03:30,680 --> 00:03:33,200
Speaker 1: real life possible scenarios as we can and work it

76
00:03:33,240 --> 00:03:35,000
Speaker 1: out and improve it. And it's gonna be not where

77
00:03:35,040 --> 00:03:36,280
Speaker 1: we want it, so we're gonna go back to the film.

78
00:03:36,280 --> 00:03:38,960
Speaker 1: We're gonna improve it again. And that's the step wise

79
00:03:38,960 --> 00:03:41,640
Speaker 1: process that we're gonna do throughout camp, and hopefully it's

80
00:03:41,640 --> 00:03:45,360
Speaker 1: a progression throughout our time here. What is it that

81
00:03:45,480 --> 00:03:47,440
Speaker 1: you see that gives you both that this offense could

82
00:03:47,400 --> 00:03:52,080
Speaker 1: be signatantantly better? This seame? What is it that I see? Well, Okay,

83
00:03:52,120 --> 00:03:54,520
Speaker 1: we have another year as a group together. I think

84
00:03:54,520 --> 00:03:56,880
Speaker 1: that that's significant. I think that the experience and playing

85
00:03:56,920 --> 00:03:59,560
Speaker 1: together all last season and some of those improvements that

86
00:03:59,600 --> 00:04:01,520
Speaker 1: we made as uh kind of a way of finding

87
00:04:01,520 --> 00:04:03,880
Speaker 1: our identity. But honestly, I think that we can't take

88
00:04:03,880 --> 00:04:05,360
Speaker 1: any of that for granted. I think that you have

89
00:04:05,440 --> 00:04:09,040
Speaker 1: to start from ground zero and start from um, you know,

90
00:04:09,120 --> 00:04:10,880
Speaker 1: step one, and do the best we can from here

91
00:04:10,920 --> 00:04:15,080
Speaker 1: on out. So what do you think of this team

92
00:04:15,120 --> 00:04:19,240
Speaker 1: overall that that's gonna get to camp here? Well, okay,

93
00:04:19,240 --> 00:04:21,200
Speaker 1: first off, it doesn't matter what I think, because it's

94
00:04:21,240 --> 00:04:25,360
Speaker 1: gonna matter how we perform. It's gonna matter how we prepare. Um,

95
00:04:25,400 --> 00:04:28,160
Speaker 1: So it's gonna be important that UM, me as well

96
00:04:28,200 --> 00:04:30,400
Speaker 1: as everyone else just gets on the same page. We

97
00:04:30,440 --> 00:04:32,040
Speaker 1: do the best we can every day and we continue

98
00:04:32,040 --> 00:04:34,560
Speaker 1: to progress and we don't take any steps backwards coming

99
00:04:34,600 --> 00:04:36,839
Speaker 1: from the championship team that you did a part of

100
00:04:36,839 --> 00:04:39,479
Speaker 1: in the past. Do you see the ingredients here in

101
00:04:39,560 --> 00:04:43,320
Speaker 1: place that can become a championship team? Um? Well, sometimes

102
00:04:43,400 --> 00:04:47,400
Speaker 1: you can't see, you know, the the the finish line

103
00:04:47,440 --> 00:04:49,400
Speaker 1: like that, You just take one step at a time.

104
00:04:49,880 --> 00:04:52,400
Speaker 1: You don't try to make any broad predictions. Um. You

105
00:04:52,480 --> 00:04:55,240
Speaker 1: never know what's gonna happen. So, um, we're in a

106
00:04:55,240 --> 00:04:57,960
Speaker 1: great organization. We have great coaches, we have great players,

107
00:04:58,120 --> 00:04:59,800
Speaker 1: and we have as good a chance as anybody to

108
00:05:00,240 --> 00:05:02,120
Speaker 1: But it's all takes a lot of work, and it

109
00:05:02,120 --> 00:05:03,880
Speaker 1: takes a lot of effort, and we take nothing for granted.

110
00:05:06,480 --> 00:05:08,520
Speaker 1: How much more comfortable do you feel in general though,

111
00:05:08,839 --> 00:05:12,760
Speaker 1: knowing that you know you've been here, you know where

112
00:05:12,800 --> 00:05:16,839
Speaker 1: the cafeteria is a joke, that's right now, that's that's really,

113
00:05:16,920 --> 00:05:19,680
Speaker 1: that's really though. That's a psychological thing. I mean knowing

114
00:05:19,720 --> 00:05:21,960
Speaker 1: where things are, knowing where you're, where you're living, where

115
00:05:21,960 --> 00:05:25,000
Speaker 1: you're staying. I think those are all really good. Um,

116
00:05:25,120 --> 00:05:27,200
Speaker 1: hopefully that's better this year. I think we've got some

117
00:05:27,240 --> 00:05:30,800
Speaker 1: things personally under control that we're that we're difficult last year,

118
00:05:30,880 --> 00:05:34,960
Speaker 1: moving and all those sort of things. Um, But in

119
00:05:35,080 --> 00:05:38,120
Speaker 1: terms of the team, like I said, it's all ground zero. Um,

120
00:05:38,240 --> 00:05:40,400
Speaker 1: we don't want to take anything for granted because sometimes

121
00:05:40,440 --> 00:05:42,359
Speaker 1: experience doesn't matter anything. It's a matter how you perform

122
00:05:42,440 --> 00:05:45,200
Speaker 1: and how you do going forward. Let's find the best

123
00:05:45,240 --> 00:05:48,440
Speaker 1: offensive want to find the best offensive lines you've been on?

124
00:05:48,720 --> 00:05:52,400
Speaker 1: Is it durability of the same five guys? Is it depth?

125
00:05:52,600 --> 00:05:54,400
Speaker 1: Is it the best offensive line you've been on? What

126
00:05:54,480 --> 00:05:57,200
Speaker 1: have they been defined that? Well? I definitely think it

127
00:05:57,200 --> 00:05:59,240
Speaker 1: helps when you can have the same five guys out there.

128
00:05:59,480 --> 00:06:02,760
Speaker 1: But the NFL and guys getting nicked up, Guys miss time,

129
00:06:02,800 --> 00:06:05,640
Speaker 1: and that's what it is. You don't make excuses, UM.

130
00:06:05,720 --> 00:06:08,160
Speaker 1: And so having guys that could step into those roles UM,

131
00:06:08,240 --> 00:06:10,640
Speaker 1: really good backup players is really important too. I think

132
00:06:11,320 --> 00:06:14,600
Speaker 1: so having a group that's tough, hard nosed, takes responsibility

133
00:06:14,640 --> 00:06:16,680
Speaker 1: for what they do, cares about what they do, and

134
00:06:16,720 --> 00:06:19,320
Speaker 1: works together and humble about what they do is very important.

135
00:06:19,360 --> 00:06:22,040
Speaker 1: To the fact that Wheeler and Pulley got a lot

136
00:06:22,040 --> 00:06:25,919
Speaker 1: of experience last year and then not necessarily might be

137
00:06:26,040 --> 00:06:29,320
Speaker 1: starters this year is something that could strengthen this line. Yeah.

138
00:06:29,400 --> 00:06:32,000
Speaker 1: I think everyone that has had time and his experience

139
00:06:32,120 --> 00:06:34,880
Speaker 1: increases your depth and your ability to withstand those kind

140
00:06:34,880 --> 00:06:37,040
Speaker 1: of ups and downs with injuries throughout the courseman the

141
00:06:37,120 --> 00:06:40,400
Speaker 1: NFL season. How important is it for let's say, the

142
00:06:40,400 --> 00:06:42,320
Speaker 1: offense of to not only take with the coaches to

143
00:06:42,440 --> 00:06:44,080
Speaker 1: telling you, but for you guys to coach each other

144
00:06:44,240 --> 00:06:47,880
Speaker 1: to help make it through a season. There's different philosophies

145
00:06:47,880 --> 00:06:51,080
Speaker 1: on that. UM. Some will say that if you do

146
00:06:51,120 --> 00:06:53,200
Speaker 1: what the coach says, then you'll be the best you

147
00:06:53,200 --> 00:06:55,800
Speaker 1: can possibly be. Others say that you know you're the

148
00:06:55,800 --> 00:06:57,400
Speaker 1: one that's out there, so you have to kind of

149
00:06:57,640 --> 00:06:59,839
Speaker 1: understand things, and it's not just what he says, but

150
00:06:59,880 --> 00:07:01,680
Speaker 1: its how it gets played out on the field. So

151
00:07:02,120 --> 00:07:04,599
Speaker 1: it's a combination about those things because the coach can

152
00:07:04,640 --> 00:07:07,000
Speaker 1: see what's on film, but it can't always be in

153
00:07:07,080 --> 00:07:09,760
Speaker 1: that face mask. So UM to be able to communicate

154
00:07:09,800 --> 00:07:13,480
Speaker 1: with between us is extremely portant. NAT him important, you see,

155
00:07:13,560 --> 00:07:16,200
Speaker 1: for you guys to get safe one running in the

156
00:07:16,280 --> 00:07:19,440
Speaker 1: sense of he takes pressure off you know, Eli when

157
00:07:19,480 --> 00:07:23,840
Speaker 1: he's running and things like that. Well, he's a critical

158
00:07:23,920 --> 00:07:27,600
Speaker 1: part of our team. But you can't. No NFL team

159
00:07:27,680 --> 00:07:29,720
Speaker 1: is dynamic and successful if they only have one thing.

160
00:07:29,960 --> 00:07:32,520
Speaker 1: So we gotta have multiple weapons. We've gotta have multiple

161
00:07:32,560 --> 00:07:37,600
Speaker 1: ways of um scoring, multiple ways of uh, you know, gatting, yardage,

162
00:07:37,600 --> 00:07:39,480
Speaker 1: all those sort of things. So we can't put all

163
00:07:39,680 --> 00:07:41,640
Speaker 1: our eggs in one basket or all the weight on

164
00:07:41,720 --> 00:07:46,000
Speaker 1: one guy's back. Nat, how much did you that will

165
00:07:46,640 --> 00:07:48,800
Speaker 1: learn about each other last year and how long it

166
00:07:48,880 --> 00:07:51,360
Speaker 1: took and the fact that you're coming in together today,

167
00:07:52,040 --> 00:07:54,520
Speaker 1: how different? How much better can you be because of

168
00:07:54,600 --> 00:07:57,320
Speaker 1: the experience that you have last year? Yeah, I think

169
00:07:57,360 --> 00:08:01,040
Speaker 1: the next experience is very valuable. But just as UM,

170
00:08:01,160 --> 00:08:02,600
Speaker 1: you know, with the stock marketing, can go up and

171
00:08:02,760 --> 00:08:04,400
Speaker 1: go down. So we just got to continue to work

172
00:08:04,480 --> 00:08:08,400
Speaker 1: one step at a time and improve every single day. Right,

173
00:08:09,280 --> 00:08:12,920
Speaker 1: So do you think there'll be a quarterback competition? That's

174
00:08:12,960 --> 00:08:14,800
Speaker 1: the fun topic, right. I don't know anything about that,
