1
00:00:01,480 --> 00:00:06,240
Speaker 1: I want, I want to anger you today, Promise never never.

2
00:00:06,760 --> 00:00:09,520
Speaker 1: So it seems like you guys are coming. Do you

3
00:00:09,560 --> 00:00:12,200
Speaker 1: feel like like that after you know, maybe a tough

4
00:00:12,280 --> 00:00:14,320
Speaker 1: stretch for you guys last week? What have you like

5
00:00:14,400 --> 00:00:16,360
Speaker 1: I said last week? You know, as part of training

6
00:00:16,560 --> 00:00:19,080
Speaker 1: there's upstairs downs. I thought we had a pretty good

7
00:00:19,120 --> 00:00:20,680
Speaker 1: day to day, but there's some things you gotta correct

8
00:00:20,720 --> 00:00:24,560
Speaker 1: then move forward. But that's why you practice, and you know,

9
00:00:24,600 --> 00:00:27,040
Speaker 1: so we can do that and go ahead and correct it.

10
00:00:27,080 --> 00:00:29,600
Speaker 1: And the very few practices I've ever been to have

11
00:00:29,680 --> 00:00:32,760
Speaker 1: been perfect. So like I said, there's ups and downs.

12
00:00:32,800 --> 00:00:34,280
Speaker 1: It's just how the season goes. You just got to

13
00:00:34,280 --> 00:00:36,400
Speaker 1: try to stay as steady as you can and keep

14
00:00:36,400 --> 00:00:38,360
Speaker 1: improving each that what have you learned from those that

15
00:00:38,640 --> 00:00:41,479
Speaker 1: Hunter was saying? Those downs, those frustrations, those times make

16
00:00:41,520 --> 00:00:43,680
Speaker 1: you better and you learn that as you get older

17
00:00:43,680 --> 00:00:45,640
Speaker 1: and older when you playing in the league. Yeah, I mean,

18
00:00:45,680 --> 00:00:47,040
Speaker 1: I think you can do a couple of things. You

19
00:00:47,040 --> 00:00:48,640
Speaker 1: can kind of lay down and just say screw it

20
00:00:48,640 --> 00:00:50,840
Speaker 1: and just be pissed off and mad I think those

21
00:00:50,840 --> 00:00:53,440
Speaker 1: feelings are okay and they haven't. Or you can take

22
00:00:53,479 --> 00:00:55,279
Speaker 1: those feelings and try to make it better and try

23
00:00:55,320 --> 00:00:57,600
Speaker 1: to find the solutions, and um, you know that's what

24
00:00:57,640 --> 00:01:00,560
Speaker 1: it's all about. Maybe what are the benefits of joining

25
00:01:00,560 --> 00:01:02,680
Speaker 1: practices and how much you're looking forward to them the

26
00:01:02,680 --> 00:01:05,080
Speaker 1: next couple of days. Yeah, I mean I think one

27
00:01:05,120 --> 00:01:08,120
Speaker 1: of it's a great opportunity, you know. I mean go

28
00:01:08,200 --> 00:01:10,040
Speaker 1: to my rookie year when you come into the league

29
00:01:10,080 --> 00:01:12,800
Speaker 1: and you just practice against your college team for you know,

30
00:01:12,880 --> 00:01:15,440
Speaker 1: it seems like forever, five weeks, six weeks, whatever it is.

31
00:01:15,480 --> 00:01:18,560
Speaker 1: So it's it's a welcome break to some extent, if

32
00:01:18,560 --> 00:01:20,240
Speaker 1: that makes sense. You know, you kind of come together

33
00:01:20,280 --> 00:01:23,119
Speaker 1: as a team. You're no longer going against your defense,

34
00:01:23,120 --> 00:01:25,160
Speaker 1: You're no longer doing one on ones against your guys.

35
00:01:25,560 --> 00:01:28,160
Speaker 1: You know, it's really the Patriots versus the Panthers, um,

36
00:01:28,760 --> 00:01:30,319
Speaker 1: you know, And so that's what it will be. And

37
00:01:30,440 --> 00:01:34,440
Speaker 1: it's great competition. It's it's ways to see different looks.

38
00:01:35,120 --> 00:01:37,080
Speaker 1: You're not really game planning, you know. I mean we'll

39
00:01:37,520 --> 00:01:39,160
Speaker 1: talk about some things they do, but you got to

40
00:01:39,200 --> 00:01:41,800
Speaker 1: really block your rules. They're probably gonna do some stuff different.

41
00:01:41,840 --> 00:01:45,800
Speaker 1: So I think it's great learning experiences really, like I said,

42
00:01:45,880 --> 00:01:48,800
Speaker 1: makes you blocks your rules, and it's great competition and

43
00:01:48,920 --> 00:01:50,680
Speaker 1: it's a great way to come together as a team.

44
00:01:50,720 --> 00:01:53,240
Speaker 1: I feel like I was talking about what you today

45
00:01:53,240 --> 00:01:56,120
Speaker 1: about how it's okay for change to be uncomfortable with it.

46
00:01:56,640 --> 00:01:58,480
Speaker 1: Do you feel that in any way, you know, adjusting

47
00:01:58,520 --> 00:02:00,720
Speaker 1: to new personnel, a new system you play calling it,

48
00:02:00,720 --> 00:02:02,960
Speaker 1: it's okay to show some frustration. Yeah. I mean, like

49
00:02:03,000 --> 00:02:05,400
Speaker 1: I said I mente earlier, I mean, you know, you

50
00:02:05,440 --> 00:02:07,000
Speaker 1: don't have a good day or things don't go right.

51
00:02:07,080 --> 00:02:09,560
Speaker 1: I mean, you know, you know there's okay to have

52
00:02:09,600 --> 00:02:11,480
Speaker 1: frustrations and things like that, but it's kind of what

53
00:02:11,520 --> 00:02:13,720
Speaker 1: you do with that. You know that matters, and you're

54
00:02:13,720 --> 00:02:15,560
Speaker 1: just kind of kind of stay frustrated, and I really

55
00:02:15,600 --> 00:02:18,560
Speaker 1: try to help, you know, find the solutions, or you're

56
00:02:18,560 --> 00:02:20,400
Speaker 1: gonna try to find the solutions, correct what you can

57
00:02:20,440 --> 00:02:22,320
Speaker 1: and come out here the next day and kind of

58
00:02:22,360 --> 00:02:25,000
Speaker 1: flush that day and move forward. And that that's you know,

59
00:02:25,000 --> 00:02:26,800
Speaker 1: it's kind of life. That's football. That's just how it

60
00:02:26,800 --> 00:02:29,000
Speaker 1: always goes throughout the year. You know, there's gonna be

61
00:02:29,040 --> 00:02:31,600
Speaker 1: games you're gonna lose and have to come in Monday

62
00:02:32,080 --> 00:02:34,000
Speaker 1: swallow that and you can either mope around all week

63
00:02:34,040 --> 00:02:35,520
Speaker 1: or go out there and have a great day Wednesday.

64
00:02:35,560 --> 00:02:38,040
Speaker 1: So that's what it's all about so two and a

65
00:02:38,040 --> 00:02:40,040
Speaker 1: half weeks, how do you feel Mac has been adjusting

66
00:02:40,080 --> 00:02:41,880
Speaker 1: to the change? Like, I think Max has done a

67
00:02:41,880 --> 00:02:43,359
Speaker 1: great job. I think it's been a lot of change

68
00:02:43,360 --> 00:02:45,600
Speaker 1: for all of us, and I think he's done a

69
00:02:45,600 --> 00:02:48,200
Speaker 1: great job. Yeah. I think a lot of guys are

70
00:02:48,200 --> 00:02:51,639
Speaker 1: really trying to you know, figure it all out and

71
00:02:51,639 --> 00:02:54,280
Speaker 1: embrace what we're trying to do. And like I said,

72
00:02:54,560 --> 00:02:56,320
Speaker 1: there's growing pains and you know, you come out and

73
00:02:56,360 --> 00:02:58,320
Speaker 1: better on the other side a lot of times. David,

74
00:02:58,400 --> 00:03:00,959
Speaker 1: last week we were talking to Mac and he's expressing

75
00:03:01,000 --> 00:03:02,639
Speaker 1: that he wants to kind of cut down the free

76
00:03:02,720 --> 00:03:05,200
Speaker 1: runners at you know, coming through the line of scrimmage.

77
00:03:05,240 --> 00:03:08,640
Speaker 1: How do you feel like that's improving and coming along? Yeah,

78
00:03:08,680 --> 00:03:11,640
Speaker 1: I mean, look, it's it's been a problem, you know

79
00:03:12,000 --> 00:03:13,960
Speaker 1: every year that I've been here at times, right, you know,

80
00:03:14,040 --> 00:03:18,400
Speaker 1: it's um learning all the stuff, you know, new guys,

81
00:03:18,400 --> 00:03:22,359
Speaker 1: guys coming from different systems whatever. Maybe, uh, and it's

82
00:03:22,400 --> 00:03:24,959
Speaker 1: not acceptable and that as a quarterback, Gali, I can't

83
00:03:25,000 --> 00:03:27,280
Speaker 1: imagine you know that failing. So uh, you know, we

84
00:03:27,400 --> 00:03:29,880
Speaker 1: have to be better. Everyone has to be better. Um,

85
00:03:30,040 --> 00:03:31,400
Speaker 1: you know, we all have to be tied in whether

86
00:03:31,400 --> 00:03:34,560
Speaker 1: there's some backs him us. It's a whole you know,

87
00:03:34,600 --> 00:03:37,800
Speaker 1: eleven on offensive to be tied in for a successful

88
00:03:37,800 --> 00:03:39,920
Speaker 1: plays time, and that's kind of what makes offensive football

89
00:03:39,920 --> 00:03:45,040
Speaker 1: a little different compared to the past. I'm sorry, drawing

90
00:03:45,080 --> 00:03:47,760
Speaker 1: from your past and joint practices, will you see more

91
00:03:48,000 --> 00:03:50,880
Speaker 1: like game stunts things up front these next couple of

92
00:03:50,920 --> 00:03:53,960
Speaker 1: days can you typically do in a game? I mean yeah,

93
00:03:53,960 --> 00:03:55,560
Speaker 1: I mean I think you see more in practice, you know.

94
00:03:55,640 --> 00:03:57,880
Speaker 1: I mean I think we ran like four third down

95
00:03:57,880 --> 00:03:59,880
Speaker 1: plays in a row, and that's just all games and stunts.

96
00:03:59,880 --> 00:04:02,120
Speaker 1: You know. I don't remember the last time around four

97
00:04:02,160 --> 00:04:03,760
Speaker 1: in a row in a you know, a game. So

98
00:04:04,840 --> 00:04:06,640
Speaker 1: you'll see a little. It just depends, right, it depends

99
00:04:06,640 --> 00:04:09,840
Speaker 1: on what the situation is. You know. We might create

100
00:04:09,880 --> 00:04:13,200
Speaker 1: just second to third downs, you know, so that's practice.

101
00:04:13,240 --> 00:04:15,200
Speaker 1: Sometimes you don't get in those flows of the games.

102
00:04:15,200 --> 00:04:18,040
Speaker 1: You know, sometimes you will have those move the field

103
00:04:18,040 --> 00:04:20,520
Speaker 1: periods where you are going for a second third down

104
00:04:20,560 --> 00:04:22,280
Speaker 1: for a second third down, you know, and kind of

105
00:04:22,600 --> 00:04:25,520
Speaker 1: progressing down the field. But you know, obviously there's other times,

106
00:04:25,520 --> 00:04:27,360
Speaker 1: as like I said, you're working on points of emphasis,

107
00:04:27,400 --> 00:04:30,440
Speaker 1: so you know, and that's just what it is. But um,

108
00:04:30,640 --> 00:04:32,400
Speaker 1: you know, obviously they're gonna they're gonna be amped up,

109
00:04:32,400 --> 00:04:34,840
Speaker 1: ready to go. It's great competition, like I said, and

110
00:04:34,920 --> 00:04:36,520
Speaker 1: it's a way for us to come together as a team.

111
00:04:36,920 --> 00:04:39,080
Speaker 1: It obviously just a midway your training camp here and

112
00:04:39,080 --> 00:04:41,360
Speaker 1: you got pad practice tomorrow, Wednesday and then next week.

113
00:04:41,400 --> 00:04:44,240
Speaker 1: But to date, do you feel any difference in the

114
00:04:44,320 --> 00:04:47,919
Speaker 1: number of padded practices or lesser physicality because Bill mentioned

115
00:04:47,920 --> 00:04:49,640
Speaker 1: to us you're the healthiest as a team you've ever

116
00:04:49,640 --> 00:04:51,880
Speaker 1: been at this point. Yeah, I mean, I look, I

117
00:04:51,880 --> 00:04:55,000
Speaker 1: don't know, man. I I feel like every year training

118
00:04:55,040 --> 00:04:57,240
Speaker 1: camps have been different. I've had different off days. I've

119
00:04:57,279 --> 00:04:59,480
Speaker 1: had two days off in a row, one day off,

120
00:04:59,480 --> 00:05:01,599
Speaker 1: and I mean, you know, it's just I feel like

121
00:05:01,600 --> 00:05:03,600
Speaker 1: it's all been different. Walk through some days, I you know,

122
00:05:03,600 --> 00:05:06,279
Speaker 1: and it's just whatever he decides. That's kind of what

123
00:05:06,320 --> 00:05:07,920
Speaker 1: it is. And as a player, it's your job to

124
00:05:07,920 --> 00:05:09,839
Speaker 1: come out here and be ready to go. So you know,

125
00:05:09,960 --> 00:05:12,520
Speaker 1: whether it's practice at four o'clock one night and twelve

126
00:05:12,560 --> 00:05:14,760
Speaker 1: the next day, it just is what it is. So um,

127
00:05:14,800 --> 00:05:16,920
Speaker 1: it's training camp, just part of it. But I mean,

128
00:05:17,200 --> 00:05:19,479
Speaker 1: I don't know all the science behind it. Like a

129
00:05:19,520 --> 00:05:21,800
Speaker 1: guy like Cole making a big jump in terms of

130
00:05:21,800 --> 00:05:23,720
Speaker 1: competition level next to you. Do you feel like you've

131
00:05:23,720 --> 00:05:25,720
Speaker 1: been able to use that transition for him at all?

132
00:05:25,720 --> 00:05:27,280
Speaker 1: And just what have you seen remember us for the

133
00:05:27,360 --> 00:05:29,560
Speaker 1: last week. Yeah, I mean, look, you know, I've done

134
00:05:29,560 --> 00:05:31,840
Speaker 1: the transition, and you know, coming in as a rookie

135
00:05:31,839 --> 00:05:35,120
Speaker 1: and and you know, there's a lot and it's it's

136
00:05:35,120 --> 00:05:37,320
Speaker 1: harder too when you're playing with veteran guys because we're

137
00:05:37,360 --> 00:05:41,040
Speaker 1: gonna you know, there's a you know, level of expectation

138
00:05:41,120 --> 00:05:43,039
Speaker 1: I have and want him to play too. And I

139
00:05:43,040 --> 00:05:44,880
Speaker 1: think I came in and kind of experienced that with

140
00:05:44,960 --> 00:05:47,159
Speaker 1: some of the older guys, and I think that's great

141
00:05:47,160 --> 00:05:50,880
Speaker 1: because it pushes you and and you know, you sometimes

142
00:05:51,000 --> 00:05:52,920
Speaker 1: learn the hard way, but you learn and you have

143
00:05:52,920 --> 00:05:55,599
Speaker 1: to learn fast. So I think Cole has done a

144
00:05:55,600 --> 00:05:58,040
Speaker 1: great job, you know. I think it's a really tough kid,

145
00:05:58,120 --> 00:05:59,760
Speaker 1: really embraced a lot of things we're trying to do,

146
00:06:00,880 --> 00:06:02,560
Speaker 1: you know, and it's just it's part of the learning

147
00:06:02,560 --> 00:06:04,560
Speaker 1: code or it's part of being a rookie. And I

148
00:06:04,600 --> 00:06:07,120
Speaker 1: think that that growth. I looked for my rookie year

149
00:06:07,160 --> 00:06:08,640
Speaker 1: to my second year and all the things I learned

150
00:06:08,680 --> 00:06:10,719
Speaker 1: each week and then you put it all in a

151
00:06:10,720 --> 00:06:12,680
Speaker 1: hole is a lot, So you just try to learn

152
00:06:12,680 --> 00:06:17,039
Speaker 1: as much as you can and keep moving forward. We've

153
00:06:17,080 --> 00:06:19,120
Speaker 1: seen pretty fired up in practice. I think maybe two

154
00:06:19,240 --> 00:06:21,640
Speaker 1: two little scuffles there. Um as a captain, are you

155
00:06:21,680 --> 00:06:24,560
Speaker 1: trying to rally up the troops or just playing football? Man?

156
00:06:24,960 --> 00:06:28,200
Speaker 1: Playing football? Curious with all the great linemen that have

157
00:06:28,320 --> 00:06:31,120
Speaker 1: come through here and the leaders that you've kind of

158
00:06:31,160 --> 00:06:33,880
Speaker 1: evolved and as you've matured and got to that point,

159
00:06:34,520 --> 00:06:36,040
Speaker 1: how do you feel or when do you feel like

160
00:06:36,080 --> 00:06:38,039
Speaker 1: it's time to like, hey, we got to nip this

161
00:06:38,080 --> 00:06:39,720
Speaker 1: in the bud, we got to talk about it right now.

162
00:06:39,839 --> 00:06:42,200
Speaker 1: How does that come about? Oh? I mean, I look,

163
00:06:42,240 --> 00:06:44,760
Speaker 1: there was a standard here, the law before aver got here,

164
00:06:44,760 --> 00:06:48,720
Speaker 1: and you know, hopefully long I'm after here and um yeah,

165
00:06:48,800 --> 00:06:51,920
Speaker 1: so it's just something I was kind of brought up

166
00:06:51,920 --> 00:06:54,240
Speaker 1: in when I came in here, and so so I

167
00:06:54,279 --> 00:06:55,920
Speaker 1: try to live up to and try to respect the

168
00:06:55,960 --> 00:06:59,560
Speaker 1: guys that came before me. So uh yeah, I don't

169
00:06:59,600 --> 00:07:01,800
Speaker 1: know when the right time or if there ever is

170
00:07:01,839 --> 00:07:03,960
Speaker 1: a right time, or you know, like that, it's just

171
00:07:04,040 --> 00:07:07,480
Speaker 1: kind of reaction, I guess sometimes from our vantage point

172
00:07:07,600 --> 00:07:09,600
Speaker 1: up in the press box on Thursday, you almost looked

173
00:07:09,640 --> 00:07:12,240
Speaker 1: like a de facto coach at some of the times

174
00:07:12,240 --> 00:07:14,640
Speaker 1: where you're kind of coaching up the other guys during

175
00:07:15,240 --> 00:07:17,200
Speaker 1: during the breaks. Is that something that you just take

176
00:07:17,240 --> 00:07:19,320
Speaker 1: on on your own as a leader on this team. Yeah,

177
00:07:19,400 --> 00:07:21,520
Speaker 1: you know what I mean. Look, I'm a player trying

178
00:07:21,560 --> 00:07:23,200
Speaker 1: to stay a player as long as I can, so

179
00:07:23,680 --> 00:07:25,520
Speaker 1: I don't want to be a coach yet with their hours,

180
00:07:25,520 --> 00:07:28,040
Speaker 1: but no, I mean, you know, look, I'll just trying

181
00:07:28,040 --> 00:07:30,760
Speaker 1: to help the guys, do I can. I enjoy his

182
00:07:30,840 --> 00:07:32,480
Speaker 1: way from me to stay in active in the game,

183
00:07:32,520 --> 00:07:35,680
Speaker 1: like I kind of did in twenty nineteen, so you know,

184
00:07:35,720 --> 00:07:37,440
Speaker 1: instead I just stayed in there, kind of twiddling my

185
00:07:37,440 --> 00:07:40,440
Speaker 1: thumbs bigger than might as well, you know, stay active,

186
00:07:40,480 --> 00:07:42,640
Speaker 1: locked in talk with James, see what he's seeing, and

187
00:07:43,360 --> 00:07:46,440
Speaker 1: you know, do something somewhat productive. Thanks guys, Thank you,
