<v Speaker 1>year Tulsa product, rocking and rolling right now off his

0:00:53.280 --> 0:00:55.720
<v Speaker 1>best game as a Bear against the Lions, and we

0:00:55.760 --> 0:00:58.360
<v Speaker 1>get the latest on the Vegas Raiders from radio analyst

0:00:58.400 --> 0:01:01.000
<v Speaker 1>and former Raider left tackle Lincoln Kennedy. Thanks to our

0:01:01.000 --> 0:01:03.520
<v Speaker 1>producers Jordan tread Up, Dan Billi, and the folks here

0:01:03.560 --> 0:01:06.600
<v Speaker 1>at the score time, Justin Fields named the starting quarterback

0:01:07.400 --> 0:01:09.840
<v Speaker 1>for now into the future, as long as that may

0:01:09.840 --> 0:01:12.280
<v Speaker 1>be against the Readers Sunday, and if all goes well

0:01:12.360 --> 0:01:14.520
<v Speaker 1>to he stays healthy, it's a job he's going to

0:01:14.760 --> 0:01:16.960
<v Speaker 1>keep for a very long time for the Chicago Bears. Yeah,

0:01:17.000 --> 0:01:19.480
<v Speaker 1>you know, staying healthy is the key here, Jeff, because

0:01:19.520 --> 0:01:22.640
<v Speaker 1>we've been haught to buy some backstories of young quarterbacks

0:01:22.640 --> 0:01:25.880
<v Speaker 1>that are inexperienced and then they succumb to some type

0:01:25.880 --> 0:01:29.600
<v Speaker 1>of injury, most notably Joe Burrow last year after having

0:01:29.640 --> 0:01:32.759
<v Speaker 1>an MVP Rookie of the Year type of season. So

0:01:32.800 --> 0:01:36.720
<v Speaker 1>now that being said, we've seen enough incremental improvement throughout

0:01:36.760 --> 0:01:40.000
<v Speaker 1>time from OTAs, throughout training camp and in the early

0:01:40.040 --> 0:01:42.360
<v Speaker 1>part of the regular season that it's got to be

0:01:42.440 --> 0:01:46.200
<v Speaker 1>explored this team may be more threatening on offense with

0:01:46.360 --> 0:01:49.560
<v Speaker 1>his type of athleticism respected, but now it's got to

0:01:49.640 --> 0:01:54.120
<v Speaker 1>be the perfect combination of Bill Laser's play calling and

0:01:54.400 --> 0:01:57.640
<v Speaker 1>the way that Justin Fields can play behind center. That's

0:01:57.640 --> 0:02:01.560
<v Speaker 1>a much needed ingredient in the future. Six sass of Justin. Yesterday,

0:02:01.600 --> 0:02:05.200
<v Speaker 1>Matt Naggie talked about the process continuing to develop for

0:02:05.280 --> 0:02:07.880
<v Speaker 1>justin fields. It's very important. You want to you want

0:02:07.920 --> 0:02:09.360
<v Speaker 1>to be able to see growth and what is that

0:02:09.400 --> 0:02:11.400
<v Speaker 1>and there's there can be a long definition to what

0:02:11.440 --> 0:02:13.400
<v Speaker 1>the growth and development is as of a quarterback. And

0:02:13.480 --> 0:02:16.840
<v Speaker 1>so that's that's our job as coaches to be able

0:02:16.840 --> 0:02:19.200
<v Speaker 1>to do that not just on game day, but prep

0:02:19.240 --> 0:02:22.280
<v Speaker 1>from Monday to Saturday and have him understand, you know,

0:02:22.320 --> 0:02:26.519
<v Speaker 1>how he can get He can't just get better on Sunday, right,

0:02:26.600 --> 0:02:28.280
<v Speaker 1>He's got to do that, but he can't just get

0:02:28.360 --> 0:02:30.040
<v Speaker 1>better there. He's also got to get better on Monday

0:02:30.040 --> 0:02:31.799
<v Speaker 1>through Saturday. And there's ways to do that, and that's

0:02:31.800 --> 0:02:34.080
<v Speaker 1>where the coaches and teammates come in and that coach

0:02:34.200 --> 0:02:36.639
<v Speaker 1>is offensive coordinated to Bill Laser. John d. Filippo, the

0:02:36.720 --> 0:02:40.399
<v Speaker 1>quarterback coach. Laser talked about it earlier today, just how

0:02:40.480 --> 0:02:44.600
<v Speaker 1>much practice has impacted his thinking about the development of

0:02:44.680 --> 0:02:46.799
<v Speaker 1>justin fields and how he's taken it to Sunday. It's

0:02:46.800 --> 0:02:49.440
<v Speaker 1>not always going to look the same. There are certainly

0:02:49.560 --> 0:02:52.600
<v Speaker 1>variables that are in play, including the other defense, but

0:02:53.040 --> 0:02:55.600
<v Speaker 1>that practice thing seems to be a big hook and

0:02:56.160 --> 0:02:58.520
<v Speaker 1>his ability to bounce back from the adversity in Cleveland

0:02:58.520 --> 0:03:00.560
<v Speaker 1>and take it to the field at home against the Yeah,

0:03:00.600 --> 0:03:02.639
<v Speaker 1>you know, but there's two different sizes of the thinking

0:03:02.680 --> 0:03:06.239
<v Speaker 1>process during the practices for Bill Layser, Matt Naggie, John D.

0:03:06.400 --> 0:03:10.880
<v Speaker 1>Flipp and all the officsive coaches. Whenever you're evaluating your player,

0:03:10.919 --> 0:03:13.360
<v Speaker 1>whether it's one looking the offensive line or these guys

0:03:13.360 --> 0:03:15.639
<v Speaker 1>looking at the quarterback, you've got to look at how

0:03:15.680 --> 0:03:19.079
<v Speaker 1>all this improvement and development fits in what's your next opponent.

0:03:19.360 --> 0:03:22.560
<v Speaker 1>So it's not only looking at Justin thrown this type

0:03:22.600 --> 0:03:25.560
<v Speaker 1>of pass better, but how does this play work well

0:03:25.600 --> 0:03:28.040
<v Speaker 1>against what the rate you're going to see from the Raiders?

0:03:28.400 --> 0:03:31.760
<v Speaker 1>How is he seeing this protection according to this third

0:03:31.800 --> 0:03:35.360
<v Speaker 1>and whatever situation he's facing. So it's never a one

0:03:35.400 --> 0:03:39.520
<v Speaker 1>dimensional thought process. It's always how are you developing according

0:03:39.520 --> 0:03:42.960
<v Speaker 1>to the plan of the future. And Justin Fields says

0:03:43.040 --> 0:03:46.760
<v Speaker 1>he really appreciates how Matt Naggie and the coaching staff

0:03:47.400 --> 0:03:53.280
<v Speaker 1>last week set the tone by listening, talking, discussing about

0:03:53.320 --> 0:03:56.040
<v Speaker 1>even the game plan. I think, you know, put it

0:03:56.080 --> 0:03:58.080
<v Speaker 1>in the game plan last week. So you know that's

0:03:58.120 --> 0:04:00.960
<v Speaker 1>just perhaps the coach Naggi stening to us and you know,

0:04:01.120 --> 0:04:03.600
<v Speaker 1>kind of just putting in with the players want and

0:04:03.600 --> 0:04:05.480
<v Speaker 1>with the player's thoughts to h you know, get us

0:04:05.520 --> 0:04:07.840
<v Speaker 1>more confident about the game plan and stuff like that

0:04:07.880 --> 0:04:10.440
<v Speaker 1>in kind of us all on the same page about everything,

0:04:10.560 --> 0:04:13.360
<v Speaker 1>just listening to maybe some of the ideas that they

0:04:13.440 --> 0:04:16.160
<v Speaker 1>came up with, and what those are we will never know.

0:04:16.520 --> 0:04:19.800
<v Speaker 1>But in terms of specifics in plays or what's called, well,

0:04:19.800 --> 0:04:22.320
<v Speaker 1>you know, throughout Justin's career and especially when you come

0:04:22.360 --> 0:04:26.080
<v Speaker 1>from a program of high profile Ohio State University, you

0:04:26.200 --> 0:04:28.680
<v Speaker 1>have a chance to have these same discussions with your

0:04:28.680 --> 0:04:32.160
<v Speaker 1>coaches at that level. And that's why Justin has developed

0:04:32.160 --> 0:04:36.640
<v Speaker 1>into the quarterback he is, because he can be included

0:04:36.680 --> 0:04:39.880
<v Speaker 1>in the conversation to the coaches of what he sees

0:04:40.000 --> 0:04:43.080
<v Speaker 1>or where this game plan can go and how it

0:04:43.120 --> 0:04:46.880
<v Speaker 1>can grow. So all those types of things that Justin says,

0:04:47.279 --> 0:04:49.080
<v Speaker 1>I really admire me, you know, Jeff. But one thing

0:04:49.080 --> 0:04:51.839
<v Speaker 1>about Justin, the more I hear him talk at the podium,

0:04:51.880 --> 0:04:55.159
<v Speaker 1>the more I like him. Because he's a thoughtful guy.

0:04:55.320 --> 0:04:58.000
<v Speaker 1>He has a good understanding of how to not how

0:04:58.040 --> 0:05:00.960
<v Speaker 1>to answer questions of what he he wants to say

0:05:01.000 --> 0:05:03.359
<v Speaker 1>and the way he thinks about him. So you can

0:05:03.760 --> 0:05:07.000
<v Speaker 1>see this guy might be light years ahead of the

0:05:07.040 --> 0:05:09.760
<v Speaker 1>development process. But you know, he's going to have the

0:05:09.800 --> 0:05:12.360
<v Speaker 1>opportunity to continue to show it now throughout the season.

0:05:12.440 --> 0:05:14.680
<v Speaker 1>I'm really happy to hear how the quarterback room is

0:05:14.720 --> 0:05:17.680
<v Speaker 1>dealing with this. It's not easy, there's no way around it.

0:05:17.960 --> 0:05:20.240
<v Speaker 1>And you had a veteran and a very classy guy

0:05:20.440 --> 0:05:24.080
<v Speaker 1>in Andie Dalton called up Justin Fields the night before

0:05:24.360 --> 0:05:26.520
<v Speaker 1>said hey, I got you. And that really is a

0:05:27.200 --> 0:05:30.760
<v Speaker 1>big part of this secession plan at the moment, because

0:05:31.279 --> 0:05:33.440
<v Speaker 1>it could get real ugly if it was any other way,

0:05:33.839 --> 0:05:36.479
<v Speaker 1>you know, And because a lot of the stuff that

0:05:36.680 --> 0:05:39.840
<v Speaker 1>Justin has said about Andy Dalton I had, I couldn't

0:05:39.880 --> 0:05:43.240
<v Speaker 1>have any more admiration for him than I do. Obviously,

0:05:43.360 --> 0:05:46.040
<v Speaker 1>he survived in the scenario that he went through a Cincinnati,

0:05:46.160 --> 0:05:48.479
<v Speaker 1>did what he did last year in Dallas, and now

0:05:48.520 --> 0:05:51.400
<v Speaker 1>he has a different trial throughout his career this year.

0:05:51.480 --> 0:05:54.680
<v Speaker 1>That's the way it's been presented to him. So I

0:05:54.760 --> 0:05:56.960
<v Speaker 1>think the Bears are really fortunate to have a guy

0:05:57.000 --> 0:05:59.880
<v Speaker 1>like Annie Dalton that's willing to commit himself to help

0:06:00.080 --> 0:06:03.760
<v Speaker 1>Justin become the best player he can this year in

0:06:03.760 --> 0:06:06.239
<v Speaker 1>the shortest amount of time. Injury news, of course, David

0:06:06.320 --> 0:06:09.600
<v Speaker 1>Montgomery sideline with a nice brain. No official timetable on

0:06:09.760 --> 0:06:12.760
<v Speaker 1>his return to the field, so that gives a great

0:06:12.760 --> 0:06:16.080
<v Speaker 1>opportunity for Damian Williams and also Khalil Herbert, the Bears

0:06:16.160 --> 0:06:18.440
<v Speaker 1>rookie running back, will delve into all that talk defense

0:06:18.520 --> 0:06:21.840
<v Speaker 1>coming up next though, with outside linebacker Trevis Gibson. It's

<v Speaker 1>by Bears outside linebacker the second year Terror right now,

0:06:46.240 --> 0:06:50.599
<v Speaker 1>Trevis Gibson. Trevis the Terror. I like it. I don't

0:06:50.600 --> 0:06:52.520
<v Speaker 1>know what kind of nick game you might have added, Tulsa,

0:06:52.600 --> 0:06:54.840
<v Speaker 1>but Trevis the Terror is not too bad right now?

0:06:54.920 --> 0:06:58.039
<v Speaker 1>How you feel about it? I feel pretty good, man.

0:06:58.960 --> 0:07:01.440
<v Speaker 1>You know. The nickname is the come and go, which

0:07:01.480 --> 0:07:03.960
<v Speaker 1>everyone sticks is the one I'm gonna wrong with. But

0:07:04.680 --> 0:07:06.960
<v Speaker 1>right now I'm feeling good and motivated with a lot

0:07:06.960 --> 0:07:09.280
<v Speaker 1>of confidence. What did they call you in college? By

0:07:09.279 --> 0:07:11.760
<v Speaker 1>the way, they actually just called me trail. You know

0:07:11.840 --> 0:07:15.680
<v Speaker 1>I never weird lead thou my football career, I haven't.

0:07:15.720 --> 0:07:18.800
<v Speaker 1>I haven't acquired a nickname, so that would be something

0:07:18.840 --> 0:07:20.680
<v Speaker 1>I look forward to. Yes, if you keep you keep

0:07:20.720 --> 0:07:23.520
<v Speaker 1>sacking quarterbacks and breaking up passes, you'll be getting a

0:07:23.560 --> 0:07:25.920
<v Speaker 1>lot of nicknames. But it must feel good after not

0:07:26.000 --> 0:07:28.480
<v Speaker 1>getting a ton of playing time last year, we saw

0:07:28.520 --> 0:07:31.480
<v Speaker 1>you coming on strong and training camp, and you're delivering

0:07:31.600 --> 0:07:34.720
<v Speaker 1>right now. This is probably the best you've played, right, Yes, sorry,

0:07:34.720 --> 0:07:36.720
<v Speaker 1>it is. I feel like I'm at my pea. I

0:07:36.720 --> 0:07:40.080
<v Speaker 1>hate Trevor's first of all, been reading quotes there. You're

0:07:40.200 --> 0:07:43.680
<v Speaker 1>you're throwing out Roddy Roddy Piper's name. Are you old

0:07:43.800 --> 0:07:46.600
<v Speaker 1>enough to know who he is? I'm actually not, man,

0:07:46.760 --> 0:07:50.040
<v Speaker 1>My coach, My coach told me an old wrestling video

0:07:50.680 --> 0:07:55.160
<v Speaker 1>that actually that I stole that quote from so and

0:07:55.280 --> 0:07:58.680
<v Speaker 1>I actually liked the video. It was pretty interesting, right,

0:07:58.720 --> 0:08:00.720
<v Speaker 1>I just think it's funny and older guy like me,

0:08:00.800 --> 0:08:04.480
<v Speaker 1>sixty years old, I'm super familiar with Piper. So when

0:08:04.480 --> 0:08:06.880
<v Speaker 1>I heard you go swallow, this guy's this guy's old

0:08:06.880 --> 0:08:09.920
<v Speaker 1>school but let me ask you something. So your junior

0:08:10.000 --> 0:08:11.880
<v Speaker 1>year in college, you know, I'm kind of leading up

0:08:11.880 --> 0:08:13.920
<v Speaker 1>to the question to now. So your junior year in

0:08:13.920 --> 0:08:17.440
<v Speaker 1>college you have four sacks, nine tackles for loss. Your

0:08:17.440 --> 0:08:20.480
<v Speaker 1>senior year you have eight sacks, fifteen tackles for loss.

0:08:21.000 --> 0:08:25.040
<v Speaker 1>What was the difference in those two years that you

0:08:25.200 --> 0:08:29.400
<v Speaker 1>you had such improvement from one year to the next. Um,

0:08:29.600 --> 0:08:31.560
<v Speaker 1>you know, I think I just I just sort of

0:08:31.640 --> 0:08:34.160
<v Speaker 1>led loose. You know, it was my last year in college.

0:08:34.559 --> 0:08:36.680
<v Speaker 1>I knew I wanted to play in the NFL. You know,

0:08:36.720 --> 0:08:39.960
<v Speaker 1>I dedicated more time to my past rush. You know,

0:08:40.000 --> 0:08:42.600
<v Speaker 1>the previous years before that, I really was just focusing

0:08:42.600 --> 0:08:45.199
<v Speaker 1>on my body, making sure I was in the right

0:08:45.280 --> 0:08:47.400
<v Speaker 1>shape and size to be able to compete in the

0:08:47.480 --> 0:08:50.320
<v Speaker 1>position that I was in, considering it was a three

0:08:50.400 --> 0:08:54.760
<v Speaker 1>down a linement front for our defense. So you know,

0:08:54.800 --> 0:08:57.680
<v Speaker 1>I sort of started working on my pass rush. I

0:08:57.720 --> 0:09:00.320
<v Speaker 1>went to the Von Miller pass rush Summit, and I

0:09:00.360 --> 0:09:03.400
<v Speaker 1>think I acquired a lot of techniques from those guys.

0:09:03.440 --> 0:09:05.920
<v Speaker 1>So I took that into my senior year and just

0:09:06.000 --> 0:09:08.400
<v Speaker 1>left it all a lot on the show. Okay, then

0:09:08.400 --> 0:09:10.960
<v Speaker 1>they let's speed up till now because Jeff and I

0:09:11.000 --> 0:09:13.200
<v Speaker 1>were out of training camp every day, and you know

0:09:13.240 --> 0:09:16.640
<v Speaker 1>there's certain guys that kind of catch your eye with regularity,

0:09:16.920 --> 0:09:20.440
<v Speaker 1>and it was, you know, you look faster, you look bigger,

0:09:20.880 --> 0:09:23.760
<v Speaker 1>you look like you had a larger arsenal of pass

0:09:23.840 --> 0:09:27.319
<v Speaker 1>rush moves and you were performing them a lot better.

0:09:27.679 --> 0:09:32.000
<v Speaker 1>So was there a significant improvement this year throughout the

0:09:32.040 --> 0:09:34.600
<v Speaker 1>off season? Because when I look at your staffs from

0:09:34.679 --> 0:09:37.080
<v Speaker 1>junior senior year, then I look at you from a

0:09:37.200 --> 0:09:40.040
<v Speaker 1>rook now to your second year, you look like a

0:09:40.080 --> 0:09:44.079
<v Speaker 1>completely different player. Oh yeah, man, you know this um

0:09:44.320 --> 0:09:47.240
<v Speaker 1>this pass off season, I took my main focus to

0:09:47.320 --> 0:09:50.839
<v Speaker 1>my pass rush, but also my body. You know, a

0:09:50.920 --> 0:09:53.959
<v Speaker 1>strength condition coach Loco. He helped me out a lot

0:09:54.080 --> 0:09:57.600
<v Speaker 1>on my explosiveness, change direction, you know, just getting my

0:09:57.640 --> 0:10:00.439
<v Speaker 1>body ready for the career that I won and a half.

0:10:00.480 --> 0:10:03.440
<v Speaker 1>So you know, I took a lot of time to

0:10:03.520 --> 0:10:06.720
<v Speaker 1>invest into that and I think overall the help. Trevis Gibson,

0:10:06.800 --> 0:10:08.840
<v Speaker 1>our guest here on Bears All Access. It's brought to

0:10:08.840 --> 0:10:11.800
<v Speaker 1>you by IGS Energy on Chicago Sports Radio six seventy

0:10:11.920 --> 0:10:14.679
<v Speaker 1>the Score. Hey, Trevis, when you talked about the Von

0:10:14.760 --> 0:10:17.000
<v Speaker 1>Miller camp, and I know you've touched down at souls

0:10:17.040 --> 0:10:19.800
<v Speaker 1>Cole commet in terms of the tight ends and what

0:10:19.840 --> 0:10:23.000
<v Speaker 1>he did with that tight end class with George Kittle,

0:10:23.040 --> 0:10:26.120
<v Speaker 1>And there's little things you pick up so you analyze guys.

0:10:26.600 --> 0:10:28.679
<v Speaker 1>I'm sure you popped down a bunch of tape of

0:10:29.240 --> 0:10:32.400
<v Speaker 1>guys past and present that rushed the pastor But when

0:10:32.440 --> 0:10:36.160
<v Speaker 1>you're analyzing these things like we analyze you now, if

0:10:36.160 --> 0:10:40.480
<v Speaker 1>you're analyzing them in our shoes, are you surprised at

0:10:40.480 --> 0:10:45.920
<v Speaker 1>the subtle differences that lead to success for each individual

0:10:45.960 --> 0:10:48.600
<v Speaker 1>pass rusher? And you think to your man, can I

0:10:48.679 --> 0:10:52.240
<v Speaker 1>actually do that move with my traits and my skill

0:10:52.600 --> 0:10:55.640
<v Speaker 1>and my athleticism, or you know, maybe maybe you can't.

0:10:55.720 --> 0:10:58.600
<v Speaker 1>Maybe you can't replicate that. Are you as an awe

0:10:58.600 --> 0:11:02.120
<v Speaker 1>of certain guy and how they work their technique and

0:11:02.160 --> 0:11:06.240
<v Speaker 1>their foot feetwork, footwork and their skill as we are

0:11:06.640 --> 0:11:09.800
<v Speaker 1>looking at you guys and analyzing you as a great athlete.

0:11:09.960 --> 0:11:13.360
<v Speaker 1>Oh yeah, most definitely. You know, Um, I try to

0:11:13.360 --> 0:11:16.080
<v Speaker 1>look at guys that sort of have the same body

0:11:16.120 --> 0:11:19.360
<v Speaker 1>type similar to me and try to still move from

0:11:19.400 --> 0:11:22.760
<v Speaker 1>those guys. But it's so many things that I have

0:11:23.000 --> 0:11:24.960
<v Speaker 1>still to learn. You know, I feel like I'm still

0:11:24.960 --> 0:11:27.160
<v Speaker 1>a raw player. So when I look at these older

0:11:27.320 --> 0:11:30.880
<v Speaker 1>vets and the grace that we talk about. You know, Um,

0:11:31.600 --> 0:11:34.480
<v Speaker 1>there's so many little things that I overlook or as

0:11:34.480 --> 0:11:37.719
<v Speaker 1>a young player, that I don't typically think of. So

0:11:37.800 --> 0:11:40.240
<v Speaker 1>when I do see those things, it's like wow, like

0:11:40.320 --> 0:11:43.440
<v Speaker 1>I didn't even or it's almost like I asked myself

0:11:43.440 --> 0:11:45.280
<v Speaker 1>why I didn't I think of that, because it's so

0:11:46.120 --> 0:11:48.600
<v Speaker 1>it's so many crazy things that could work. But it's just,

0:11:49.440 --> 0:11:52.440
<v Speaker 1>you know, football is so it's so scattered. There's so

0:11:52.480 --> 0:11:55.079
<v Speaker 1>many things that you can look at, from down in

0:11:55.200 --> 0:11:59.679
<v Speaker 1>distance to tendencies on the offensive tackle to things that

0:11:59.720 --> 0:12:02.640
<v Speaker 1>you and due to you know, make your game uncertain

0:12:03.280 --> 0:12:08.120
<v Speaker 1>to the opponent obviously. But yeah, yes, I'm I'm always

0:12:08.120 --> 0:12:10.520
<v Speaker 1>in awe, especially with the guys in my room, Robert

0:12:10.640 --> 0:12:13.400
<v Speaker 1>Quinn and Khalil Mac. You know those guys, the way

0:12:13.440 --> 0:12:16.480
<v Speaker 1>they watch film and the way that they do certain

0:12:16.520 --> 0:12:19.200
<v Speaker 1>things with their body on their pass rushers. It's it's

0:12:19.240 --> 0:12:22.360
<v Speaker 1>amazing to me. Well, you know, can you get as

0:12:22.480 --> 0:12:27.320
<v Speaker 1>low Robert Quinn does when he starts to turn the

0:12:27.360 --> 0:12:30.840
<v Speaker 1>corner and bend that edge or you know, I'm always

0:12:30.840 --> 0:12:33.640
<v Speaker 1>fascinated and times heard me say this too, just the

0:12:34.120 --> 0:12:36.640
<v Speaker 1>hands of somebody it looks as though you know, you

0:12:36.720 --> 0:12:40.280
<v Speaker 1>have to slow down the tape frame by frames sometimes

0:12:40.280 --> 0:12:44.280
<v Speaker 1>to see a guy's hands unlock their pass rush. It's

0:12:44.320 --> 0:12:46.560
<v Speaker 1>not clear to the naked eye. You gotta slow it down.

0:12:47.559 --> 0:12:50.760
<v Speaker 1>Is that something that you even look at? Oh? Yeah,

0:12:50.920 --> 0:12:54.560
<v Speaker 1>most definitely. You know, UM going to Robert's Quinn, ben,

0:12:54.840 --> 0:12:58.280
<v Speaker 1>you know, he used to wrestle most of his yeah,

0:12:58.360 --> 0:13:01.600
<v Speaker 1>basically most of his life high school. But you know

0:13:01.679 --> 0:13:03.920
<v Speaker 1>that gives him that beIN So I know that's something

0:13:03.960 --> 0:13:05.559
<v Speaker 1>that I need to work on to help me turn

0:13:05.640 --> 0:13:09.520
<v Speaker 1>the corners. But as far as hands man, it's um.

0:13:09.600 --> 0:13:11.640
<v Speaker 1>You know, they teach me so much about just the

0:13:11.679 --> 0:13:14.959
<v Speaker 1>basic mechanics of the body, and that's something that I

0:13:15.000 --> 0:13:19.120
<v Speaker 1>feel like I've sort of overlooked up until now. You know,

0:13:19.240 --> 0:13:23.079
<v Speaker 1>just knowing if I pull one guy's arm, how it

0:13:23.160 --> 0:13:27.000
<v Speaker 1>affects his opposite shoulder. Just crazy stuff to help these

0:13:27.000 --> 0:13:29.760
<v Speaker 1>guys get to the quarterback. And like I said, there's

0:13:29.760 --> 0:13:32.080
<v Speaker 1>so many things, man, I could see here for hours

0:13:32.080 --> 0:13:35.720
<v Speaker 1>and talk about it. You know, Trevil, when I watched

0:13:35.760 --> 0:13:38.080
<v Speaker 1>Robert Quinn, I watched Khalil Mack. You remind me more

0:13:38.080 --> 0:13:40.320
<v Speaker 1>of Khalil Mack than you do. Robert Quinn. But there

0:13:40.360 --> 0:13:42.800
<v Speaker 1>are two different types of players. And you talk about

0:13:42.880 --> 0:13:46.840
<v Speaker 1>three time heavyweight state champion, Chip Wrestler and Robert Quinn.

0:13:47.080 --> 0:13:49.280
<v Speaker 1>You know, there's a little bit of that mobility that

0:13:49.320 --> 0:13:51.319
<v Speaker 1>has to a pass rusher. But to me, I'm more

0:13:51.400 --> 0:13:55.760
<v Speaker 1>interested in your second move because there's a lot of

0:13:55.760 --> 0:13:58.800
<v Speaker 1>good offensive tackles. They're gonna stand up, kind of stabby

0:13:58.840 --> 0:14:00.880
<v Speaker 1>in the chest and ride with you and then you

0:14:01.040 --> 0:14:03.679
<v Speaker 1>have to use your second move. Is it something that

0:14:03.720 --> 0:14:06.640
<v Speaker 1>comes to you through during the pass rush or are

0:14:06.679 --> 0:14:09.480
<v Speaker 1>you already saying, Okay, I know what the down and distances,

0:14:09.520 --> 0:14:12.000
<v Speaker 1>I know what this guy does if he gets hands

0:14:12.040 --> 0:14:14.319
<v Speaker 1>on me. This is what I'm gonna come back with

0:14:14.520 --> 0:14:18.559
<v Speaker 1>if you need that second move. You know, honestly, it's

0:14:18.600 --> 0:14:20.760
<v Speaker 1>sort of both. I like to look at the down

0:14:20.800 --> 0:14:23.600
<v Speaker 1>and distance and know, like you know, if it's third

0:14:23.600 --> 0:14:26.840
<v Speaker 1>and forever, they might run a screen. So I'll see

0:14:26.880 --> 0:14:28.560
<v Speaker 1>if he try to jump, says me. And if he

0:14:28.600 --> 0:14:30.960
<v Speaker 1>does and then running back falls out, then I'll just

0:14:31.040 --> 0:14:34.920
<v Speaker 1>play the screen or just little subtle things. But majority

0:14:34.960 --> 0:14:38.200
<v Speaker 1>at the time during pass rush is really off of reaction,

0:14:38.360 --> 0:14:41.160
<v Speaker 1>so you know, I already have a move in mind.

0:14:41.560 --> 0:14:44.800
<v Speaker 1>Or my favorite counters that we like to call them.

0:14:44.840 --> 0:14:47.040
<v Speaker 1>But you know, I go to my go to move

0:14:47.280 --> 0:14:51.040
<v Speaker 1>or if I do if I do a bull rush

0:14:51.120 --> 0:14:53.640
<v Speaker 1>one one play, then the next player I might do

0:14:53.680 --> 0:14:56.720
<v Speaker 1>a speed rush. It's really just like playing chess, you know,

0:14:56.840 --> 0:14:59.280
<v Speaker 1>keeping your opponent on the hills and trying to see

0:14:59.400 --> 0:15:03.080
<v Speaker 1>you know, basically what they'll give me and what I

0:15:03.120 --> 0:15:05.440
<v Speaker 1>can give them, and basically, whoever comes out on top

0:15:05.600 --> 0:15:09.640
<v Speaker 1>or whoever plays the best mind game along with technique

0:15:09.960 --> 0:15:11.640
<v Speaker 1>usually as the one who comes out with the win.

0:15:12.480 --> 0:15:14.840
<v Speaker 1>You know, when you look at last year's training camp,

0:15:15.000 --> 0:15:17.440
<v Speaker 1>condense a couple of weeks you don't get you barely

0:15:17.440 --> 0:15:20.760
<v Speaker 1>get any reps. This year you got a new defensive coordinator.

0:15:20.800 --> 0:15:23.840
<v Speaker 1>You also have the full length of the time for

0:15:23.920 --> 0:15:25.920
<v Speaker 1>training camp, and you get a ton more reps. You

0:15:26.040 --> 0:15:28.680
<v Speaker 1>got a lot of snaps in the preseason. Do you

0:15:28.800 --> 0:15:32.160
<v Speaker 1>think that like took you to another level of player

0:15:32.280 --> 0:15:35.480
<v Speaker 1>just because you have the opportunity not only to work

0:15:35.520 --> 0:15:39.240
<v Speaker 1>on your moves but get more familiar with offenses in

0:15:39.280 --> 0:15:43.240
<v Speaker 1>the NFL. And just how beneficial was that for you? Oh? Yeah,

0:15:43.360 --> 0:15:46.640
<v Speaker 1>most definitely. You know, the more reps make an actual

0:15:46.760 --> 0:15:50.479
<v Speaker 1>big difference. It can make a difference in my confidence

0:15:50.520 --> 0:15:54.200
<v Speaker 1>and actually my comfortability. So it's really just about, you know,

0:15:54.240 --> 0:15:56.200
<v Speaker 1>the more reps that I get, the more things I

0:15:56.240 --> 0:15:58.520
<v Speaker 1>start to notice, the more things I pick up on,

0:15:58.760 --> 0:16:02.040
<v Speaker 1>the more comfortable I feel. So you know, it builds

0:16:02.080 --> 0:16:06.160
<v Speaker 1>my confidence, It gives me actual tape to teach myself

0:16:06.200 --> 0:16:08.680
<v Speaker 1>on things that I can do better, to make myself

0:16:08.760 --> 0:16:12.000
<v Speaker 1>more unpredictable, and you know, it's it's a whole mountain

0:16:12.040 --> 0:16:14.640
<v Speaker 1>of things that reps can do. But I feel like

0:16:14.680 --> 0:16:17.080
<v Speaker 1>that's been the biggest thing that has helped me improve

0:16:17.200 --> 0:16:19.600
<v Speaker 1>my game because I get to feel the game more.

0:16:19.680 --> 0:16:23.520
<v Speaker 1>I get to you know, run pass rushes and do

0:16:24.000 --> 0:16:26.520
<v Speaker 1>you know, stop the run and things that I didn't

0:16:26.520 --> 0:16:29.040
<v Speaker 1>really get a chance to last year. So I think

0:16:29.040 --> 0:16:31.160
<v Speaker 1>that's been the biggest thing that has helped me. With

0:16:31.200 --> 0:16:33.960
<v Speaker 1>Trevis Gibson Jeff Jonny Ack in time Fair, one more

0:16:34.000 --> 0:16:36.280

0:16:51.040 --> 0:16:54.880
<v Speaker 1>linebacker out of Tulsa, taking advantage of great opportunities right

0:16:54.920 --> 0:16:57.400
<v Speaker 1>now with the Bears here in twenty twenty one, Timmy, Yeah,

0:16:57.440 --> 0:16:59.920
<v Speaker 1>we're talking about the pass rush arsenal that you have.

0:17:00.280 --> 0:17:04.640
<v Speaker 1>But so Trev as an offensive lineman, I liked blocking

0:17:04.680 --> 0:17:07.960
<v Speaker 1>guys in two point stands. I didn't like blocking guys

0:17:07.960 --> 0:17:10.560
<v Speaker 1>in three point stands because I think they held their leverage,

0:17:10.560 --> 0:17:13.920
<v Speaker 1>their lower leverage better. So now you have the opportunity

0:17:13.960 --> 0:17:18.080
<v Speaker 1>to do both. Where's your comfort zone two point three point,

0:17:18.359 --> 0:17:21.360
<v Speaker 1>yes or well? To me, it's um. You know, when

0:17:21.359 --> 0:17:23.320
<v Speaker 1>I'm in the two point stands, I feel like I

0:17:23.359 --> 0:17:25.320
<v Speaker 1>can see the field more. You know, I can see

0:17:25.359 --> 0:17:28.520
<v Speaker 1>the motions from the coming from the office side of

0:17:28.560 --> 0:17:31.720
<v Speaker 1>the field, if the bank was, the flip sides, just

0:17:31.920 --> 0:17:35.359
<v Speaker 1>little things like that. Um, you know, that's that's something

0:17:35.359 --> 0:17:37.919
<v Speaker 1>that helps me with my two point Now with my

0:17:37.960 --> 0:17:40.520
<v Speaker 1>three point stands, I feel like I can get off

0:17:40.520 --> 0:17:44.120
<v Speaker 1>the ball faster. I come out the I come out

0:17:44.160 --> 0:17:47.400
<v Speaker 1>of my stands with more explosions. So you know, it's

0:17:47.440 --> 0:17:50.639
<v Speaker 1>just taking those chances, you know, some pass rushes or

0:17:50.680 --> 0:17:52.840
<v Speaker 1>some pass or snaps I might get into three point.

0:17:52.880 --> 0:17:55.879
<v Speaker 1>If it's deep, you know, I feel like I need

0:17:56.320 --> 0:17:58.960
<v Speaker 1>more speed to get that is, and I might jump

0:17:58.960 --> 0:18:01.440
<v Speaker 1>in at three point, or if it's a shorter down,

0:18:01.480 --> 0:18:03.240
<v Speaker 1>I might stay at the two points, just in case

0:18:03.280 --> 0:18:05.920
<v Speaker 1>it's a it's a tricky play, you know, a draw

0:18:06.040 --> 0:18:08.440
<v Speaker 1>or a screen or something. It's just it really all

0:18:08.520 --> 0:18:10.760
<v Speaker 1>depends on the field of the game. Man. It's one

0:18:10.800 --> 0:18:12.719
<v Speaker 1>thing to just have these guys go do their thing,

0:18:12.840 --> 0:18:15.600
<v Speaker 1>but it's another to deploy them. And I think Sean

0:18:15.760 --> 0:18:19.920
<v Speaker 1>is deploying by, for example, moving Khalil, you know, with

0:18:20.080 --> 0:18:22.840
<v Speaker 1>Robert Quinna on one side, the stunts, the twists that

0:18:22.920 --> 0:18:26.480
<v Speaker 1>matter and dictated by whomever you're playing. Do you feel

0:18:26.520 --> 0:18:31.080
<v Speaker 1>as well as you're being deployed this year? Oh yeah, yes, sir,

0:18:31.240 --> 0:18:33.359
<v Speaker 1>I do. Man. You know, I feel like they're using

0:18:33.400 --> 0:18:36.359
<v Speaker 1>my strengths to help us win games. And you know,

0:18:36.560 --> 0:18:38.320
<v Speaker 1>we have a like you just said, we have a

0:18:39.480 --> 0:18:42.000
<v Speaker 1>ton of stars on our defense and even more on

0:18:42.040 --> 0:18:44.880
<v Speaker 1>our offense. So you know, I feel like things are

0:18:44.880 --> 0:18:48.159
<v Speaker 1>going well. You know, I know Coach Design knows my

0:18:48.280 --> 0:18:50.720
<v Speaker 1>strengths and my weaknesses, and I think he's putting me

0:18:50.760 --> 0:18:52.800
<v Speaker 1>in the best position to be as successful as I

0:18:52.840 --> 0:18:55.520
<v Speaker 1>can be. People are getting to know you, Bears fans,

0:18:55.520 --> 0:18:57.560
<v Speaker 1>so I get asked a lot of questions about you,

0:18:57.640 --> 0:18:59.840
<v Speaker 1>and you know, sadly we haven't had the one on

0:18:59.840 --> 0:19:03.399
<v Speaker 1>one time extensively to get to know players. But I

0:19:03.520 --> 0:19:05.520
<v Speaker 1>have told me come from a very athletic family. And

0:19:06.080 --> 0:19:08.000
<v Speaker 1>you've been on this show before when you in your

0:19:08.080 --> 0:19:10.280
<v Speaker 1>rookie year. I think when when you first were drafted.

0:19:10.320 --> 0:19:13.679
<v Speaker 1>But everybody in your family's an athlete. Go down the

0:19:13.680 --> 0:19:15.040
<v Speaker 1>list a little bit, and what do you think you

0:19:15.119 --> 0:19:20.520
<v Speaker 1>pulled from each of these folks. You know, my grandfather

0:19:20.640 --> 0:19:24.959
<v Speaker 1>on my mom's side, he did football. My grandfather on

0:19:25.000 --> 0:19:28.320
<v Speaker 1>my dad's side, he did football. So I think that's

0:19:28.359 --> 0:19:32.600
<v Speaker 1>where my main football traits come from. You know, my

0:19:32.720 --> 0:19:36.400
<v Speaker 1>dad did basketball, my mom did a little bit of soccer.

0:19:36.920 --> 0:19:41.280
<v Speaker 1>My brother does pro basketball. So I think I you know,

0:19:41.359 --> 0:19:44.560
<v Speaker 1>my agility and quickness, I would say I grabbed from

0:19:44.600 --> 0:19:48.159
<v Speaker 1>the basketball players and my family and the toughness and

0:19:48.240 --> 0:19:52.479
<v Speaker 1>grid and the determination. I think I grabbed from my

0:19:52.600 --> 0:19:57.080
<v Speaker 1>grandparents on both sides, and so my dad and brother.

0:19:57.160 --> 0:19:59.800
<v Speaker 1>So I mean, I know I didn't come from my brother,

0:20:00.000 --> 0:20:02.199
<v Speaker 1>and I think you know, they they all taught me

0:20:02.280 --> 0:20:05.080
<v Speaker 1>a lot of a lot of different things. And it's

0:20:05.080 --> 0:20:08.960
<v Speaker 1>really the determination in me, I feel is what helps

0:20:08.960 --> 0:20:11.439
<v Speaker 1>me make a lot of plays. And you know, just

0:20:11.560 --> 0:20:14.679
<v Speaker 1>not being denied. You know, I don't I don't like

0:20:14.760 --> 0:20:18.399
<v Speaker 1>being denied. I'm a I'm not a good loser. I

0:20:18.400 --> 0:20:21.560
<v Speaker 1>don't like to lose. So that's that's just a tip

0:20:21.640 --> 0:20:24.359
<v Speaker 1>on my shoulder. I like to carry around with me. Well,

0:20:24.400 --> 0:20:27.439
<v Speaker 1>you're being humbled because your grandpa time was a defensive tackle.

0:20:27.800 --> 0:20:30.000
<v Speaker 1>I have it here for the seventy one Oakland Raiders.

0:20:30.880 --> 0:20:34.320
<v Speaker 1>And your mom played soccer and ran track at North Texas.

0:20:34.440 --> 0:20:38.960
<v Speaker 1>Your dad played basketball at Texas. And your brother is

0:20:39.000 --> 0:20:41.960
<v Speaker 1>playing pro basketball or has pro play, played play basketball

0:20:42.000 --> 0:20:46.439
<v Speaker 1>in Finland. This is great bloodlines right now. Could you

0:20:46.840 --> 0:20:50.480
<v Speaker 1>have played any of these other sports the soccer, run track,

0:20:50.560 --> 0:20:54.880
<v Speaker 1>or play basketball with the best of these guys, including mom,

0:20:54.880 --> 0:20:57.240
<v Speaker 1>with the best of them. I don't think so, man,

0:20:57.400 --> 0:20:59.919
<v Speaker 1>I don't think so. As much as I would like

0:20:59.920 --> 0:21:02.080
<v Speaker 1>to say I could, I don't think so. I just

0:21:02.119 --> 0:21:04.480
<v Speaker 1>wouldn't let them run out over me, though. I think

0:21:05.240 --> 0:21:06.840
<v Speaker 1>I had to try to put a little bit of

0:21:06.880 --> 0:21:10.560
<v Speaker 1>physical physicalness into the game. From the football side. Trevi,

0:21:10.600 --> 0:21:12.280
<v Speaker 1>you know you got the guys in the past that

0:21:12.400 --> 0:21:15.439
<v Speaker 1>played football when technology was a lot different. Dieting was

0:21:15.440 --> 0:21:19.679
<v Speaker 1>a lot different, scientific hydration was a lot different. You know,

0:21:19.760 --> 0:21:23.200
<v Speaker 1>all this stuff of watching tape of your opponent and

0:21:23.359 --> 0:21:26.480
<v Speaker 1>all the other stuff that's helping construct Trev into the

0:21:26.720 --> 0:21:29.880
<v Speaker 1>player ultimately he's going to be. How beneficial is all

0:21:29.920 --> 0:21:32.200
<v Speaker 1>that ben for you in the last year and a

0:21:32.280 --> 0:21:38.760
<v Speaker 1>half to have access to a variety of healthful opportunities, Man,

0:21:38.800 --> 0:21:42.040
<v Speaker 1>it has been tremendous. You know, I think the biggest

0:21:42.080 --> 0:21:45.120
<v Speaker 1>thing for me has been recovery. You know, I didn't

0:21:45.160 --> 0:21:48.200
<v Speaker 1>I mean, Tolsa was obviously a great school, tremendous school

0:21:48.200 --> 0:21:52.159
<v Speaker 1>and nice school, but I didn't really have access to

0:21:52.200 --> 0:21:55.320
<v Speaker 1>the recovery methods that I did there that I have

0:21:55.680 --> 0:22:00.200
<v Speaker 1>now here in Chicago. So, you know, Andre, Andre, it's

0:22:00.240 --> 0:22:02.439
<v Speaker 1>been helping me out. Our athletic trainer, you know, they

0:22:02.520 --> 0:22:06.760
<v Speaker 1>make sure that everything is good, I'm healthy, but they

0:22:06.800 --> 0:22:09.760
<v Speaker 1>also make sure I'll recover and that's not their job.

0:22:09.920 --> 0:22:12.639
<v Speaker 1>But they've shown me different ways to help me do

0:22:12.800 --> 0:22:16.439
<v Speaker 1>my job, which is recover. So you know, that's I

0:22:16.480 --> 0:22:18.520
<v Speaker 1>think that's been a big thing that has also helped

0:22:18.520 --> 0:22:22.400
<v Speaker 1>my game continue to go upward. And um I plan on,

0:22:23.000 --> 0:22:25.520
<v Speaker 1>you know, just keep soaking things up. You know, everybody,

0:22:25.560 --> 0:22:28.359
<v Speaker 1>I'm still young. This is only my second year in

0:22:28.440 --> 0:22:31.280
<v Speaker 1>the league. You know, I got so many events on

0:22:31.400 --> 0:22:35.840
<v Speaker 1>my team, so many that it's almost it's almost impossible

0:22:35.960 --> 0:22:39.240
<v Speaker 1>not to be a sponge around these guys. So, you know,

0:22:39.400 --> 0:22:41.800
<v Speaker 1>that's that's something I'm grateful for and I keep and

0:22:41.800 --> 0:22:44.919
<v Speaker 1>I'm going to continue to look forward to it. You know,

0:22:45.040 --> 0:22:47.960
<v Speaker 1>you know trap back of the old San Francisco Stadium,

0:22:48.000 --> 0:22:50.240
<v Speaker 1>it was probably the worst locker room I've ever been

0:22:50.280 --> 0:22:53.120
<v Speaker 1>into the history of my sports life. Now I hear

0:22:53.240 --> 0:22:57.119
<v Speaker 1>John Gruden complaining about the visitors locker room at so

0:22:57.320 --> 0:23:00.480
<v Speaker 1>Far Stadium. Can you take us into that locker room

0:23:00.480 --> 0:23:03.919
<v Speaker 1>and tell us was it Did you notice it? Was

0:23:03.960 --> 0:23:06.600
<v Speaker 1>it a pain for you the way it's constructed, or

0:23:07.040 --> 0:23:09.439
<v Speaker 1>is it just you know, kind of a complaint that

0:23:09.560 --> 0:23:13.760
<v Speaker 1>means nothing. You know, honestly, I think it's a complaint

0:23:13.760 --> 0:23:16.520
<v Speaker 1>that you know, I don't even think it needs to

0:23:16.560 --> 0:23:18.800
<v Speaker 1>be said. I don't. I didn't see anything wrong with

0:23:18.840 --> 0:23:21.560
<v Speaker 1>the locker room. I mean, I'm appreciative to be in

0:23:21.560 --> 0:23:24.560
<v Speaker 1>the position that I'm in, but you know, I didn't

0:23:24.560 --> 0:23:27.560
<v Speaker 1>see anything wrong with the locker room regardless, it's not

0:23:28.480 --> 0:23:30.879
<v Speaker 1>it's not affecting the play on the field. So I

0:23:30.920 --> 0:23:33.320
<v Speaker 1>don't think that was I don't think that was a

0:23:33.400 --> 0:23:38.400
<v Speaker 1>factor that needed to really be filtered into anything. Honestly.

0:23:38.880 --> 0:23:40.840
<v Speaker 1>You know, traveling the locker room in the old San

0:23:40.920 --> 0:23:44.240
<v Speaker 1>Francisco Stadium was built for baseball teams. You had about

0:23:44.280 --> 0:23:46.440
<v Speaker 1>three and a half too many big guys in there

0:23:46.480 --> 0:23:49.040
<v Speaker 1>for the space, and I do think it affected the game.

0:23:49.160 --> 0:23:52.320
<v Speaker 1>So I was just interested to hear your point to see.

0:23:52.800 --> 0:23:55.240
<v Speaker 1>You know, probably nothing made of it. Just a head

0:23:55.240 --> 0:23:58.800
<v Speaker 1>coach is complaint, especially after a lot. I'm sure he

0:23:58.880 --> 0:24:01.760
<v Speaker 1>wasn't happy at all. How are you looking at these Raiders?

0:24:01.760 --> 0:24:04.120
<v Speaker 1>What do you see it on tape? It's got your attention,

0:24:04.160 --> 0:24:06.800
<v Speaker 1>trevis Um. You know, I gotta, I gotta to my

0:24:06.840 --> 0:24:09.960
<v Speaker 1>hats on. They're a good team. The ass speed um,

0:24:10.480 --> 0:24:13.440
<v Speaker 1>the offensive line is physical. You know, they like to run.

0:24:14.640 --> 0:24:19.160
<v Speaker 1>It's it's so much, especially taking from today that all

0:24:19.200 --> 0:24:22.120
<v Speaker 1>the information that we were giving. You know, they're they're

0:24:22.119 --> 0:24:24.080
<v Speaker 1>a team that you have to respect. But we're gonna

0:24:24.119 --> 0:24:26.480
<v Speaker 1>go in there and fight to fight, and it's gonna

0:24:26.480 --> 0:24:28.600
<v Speaker 1>be a good It's gonna be a fun one. Yeah,

0:24:28.640 --> 0:24:30.200
<v Speaker 1>I venture to say, there'd be a lot of Bears

0:24:30.240 --> 0:24:32.320
<v Speaker 1>fans traveling to Vegas as well. All right, now the

0:24:32.359 --> 0:24:35.480
<v Speaker 1>fun portion of our show, Quick five questions. Whatever pops

0:24:35.480 --> 0:24:37.600
<v Speaker 1>in your mind, let it rip, all right, there's just

0:24:37.640 --> 0:24:40.760
<v Speaker 1>some fun stuff. Pregame ritual? Do you have one? Um

0:24:40.800 --> 0:24:44.320
<v Speaker 1>pregame ritual? I usually just chill listen to the music

0:24:44.320 --> 0:24:48.239
<v Speaker 1>in the locker room the night before. I like to

0:24:48.240 --> 0:24:52.000
<v Speaker 1>eat fresh TOAs. I think that's my ritual. I'm a

0:24:52.040 --> 0:24:54.920
<v Speaker 1>big fan of fresh soa, so I'd like to over

0:24:55.000 --> 0:24:57.480
<v Speaker 1>eat some fresh soca or something wherever we are, and

0:24:58.280 --> 0:25:00.520
<v Speaker 1>you know, just enjoy get ready for the next day.

0:25:00.680 --> 0:25:03.040
<v Speaker 1>That's an interesting one. Syrup or no syrup on the

0:25:03.040 --> 0:25:08.000
<v Speaker 1>French toast light syrup just a little bit, not too much.

0:25:09.160 --> 0:25:12.320
<v Speaker 1>If you have one. What is your worst habit in

0:25:12.320 --> 0:25:21.320
<v Speaker 1>your opinion? My worst habit? You know, that's a I

0:25:21.400 --> 0:25:24.640
<v Speaker 1>think if I was to say, I like cheeseburgers. Man,

0:25:24.840 --> 0:25:29.800
<v Speaker 1>you know our facility, I know, yeah, our facility that

0:25:29.960 --> 0:25:33.680
<v Speaker 1>makes some really good cheeseburgers. And I don't. I don't

0:25:33.680 --> 0:25:36.320
<v Speaker 1>think it's been a week that has went by that

0:25:36.440 --> 0:25:40.919
<v Speaker 1>I haven't grabbed at least one, So I don't know.

0:25:41.119 --> 0:25:43.399
<v Speaker 1>I don't know the health factors on that, but I

0:25:43.400 --> 0:25:46.560
<v Speaker 1>think that's something. I think that's something I need to

0:25:46.600 --> 0:25:48.960
<v Speaker 1>break to Tendessee up. I'm sure you're burning it off

0:25:49.000 --> 0:25:50.800
<v Speaker 1>a little bit. You got a favorite actor out there

0:25:50.800 --> 0:25:54.600
<v Speaker 1>in the movie world or TV favorite actor, favorite actor

0:25:55.080 --> 0:25:58.159
<v Speaker 1>probably Michael B. Jordan or Will Smith. You know, I

0:25:58.200 --> 0:26:00.360
<v Speaker 1>feel like those are great actors that played a lot

0:26:00.359 --> 0:26:04.080
<v Speaker 1>of action movies, actually a wide range of movies. So

0:26:05.359 --> 0:26:07.760
<v Speaker 1>I think about to go with any of those, it

0:26:07.800 --> 0:26:09.959
<v Speaker 1>would probably any of them. It will probably be one

0:26:10.000 --> 0:26:14.720
<v Speaker 1>of those guys. Skill you'd love to learn. Oh, you know,

0:26:14.760 --> 0:26:18.280
<v Speaker 1>I wish I could dance, man, Yeah, I guess I

0:26:18.280 --> 0:26:22.680
<v Speaker 1>wouldn't say stage right, but you know, and as situations

0:26:22.720 --> 0:26:26.840
<v Speaker 1>I have the opportunity to dance, I'm hesitant, you know.

0:26:26.960 --> 0:26:30.080
<v Speaker 1>I'm yeah, I'm goofy. I like to joke around. I'm

0:26:30.119 --> 0:26:32.640
<v Speaker 1>out going. But that's just one hump. I can't really

0:26:33.440 --> 0:26:36.840
<v Speaker 1>I can't get over man. Next three of us, right,

0:26:38.920 --> 0:26:42.600
<v Speaker 1>and lastly, what advice we give to you younger, your

0:26:42.680 --> 0:26:46.480
<v Speaker 1>younger self a younger Trevis Gibson, I believe standing now.

0:26:46.760 --> 0:26:49.000
<v Speaker 1>I think I would say I put it in the

0:26:49.000 --> 0:26:51.680
<v Speaker 1>most work that I could, But I would say even

0:26:51.720 --> 0:26:54.280
<v Speaker 1>put I would say put it in even more honestly,

0:26:55.200 --> 0:26:57.639
<v Speaker 1>you know, just uh, I mean, I see where I

0:26:57.680 --> 0:27:00.679
<v Speaker 1>am now, but I just think about, did put in

0:27:00.760 --> 0:27:02.920
<v Speaker 1>even more work than what I did? Where could I

0:27:03.000 --> 0:27:05.719
<v Speaker 1>be right now? So that's something that I planned on

0:27:05.760 --> 0:27:09.800
<v Speaker 1>doing obviously this next offseason and every day here on out. Well,

0:27:09.880 --> 0:27:11.960
<v Speaker 1>we do appreciate your time, and we know you're a

0:27:11.960 --> 0:27:14.280
<v Speaker 1>committed player. Man. You've said that from the moment you

0:27:14.359 --> 0:27:16.280
<v Speaker 1>got here. I think I think it all started when

0:27:16.800 --> 0:27:20.879
<v Speaker 1>two hundred pund kid high school wasn't really recruited very heavily,

0:27:20.880 --> 0:27:23.080
<v Speaker 1>and you've you've taken that a long way already and

0:27:23.400 --> 0:27:26.639
<v Speaker 1>a big, big, bright future ahead for you. We really appreciate. Trevis.

0:27:26.640 --> 0:27:28.880
<v Speaker 1>Have a great game against the Raiders. Thank you so much.

0:27:46.240 --> 0:27:48.639
<v Speaker 1>All Access with Tom Thayer. I'mjeff Joniac. Were brought to

0:27:48.640 --> 0:27:51.359
<v Speaker 1>you by CDW. CDW people to get it learn more

0:27:51.359 --> 0:27:53.760
<v Speaker 1>at CDW dot com. Please to be joined for a

0:27:53.760 --> 0:27:56.720
<v Speaker 1>look at the Las Vegas Raiders. Lincoln Kennedy, the former

0:27:56.760 --> 0:28:00.000
<v Speaker 1>first round pick of the Atlanta Falcons and a decade

0:28:00.080 --> 0:28:02.680
<v Speaker 1>plus player in the National Football League. You can't miss them.

0:28:02.720 --> 0:28:04.640
<v Speaker 1>You look like you're still ready to play, buddy. Oh,

0:28:05.000 --> 0:28:07.320
<v Speaker 1>believe me. I took a few plays off the field

0:28:07.320 --> 0:28:09.720
<v Speaker 1>with me just so I can keep them in the closet.

0:28:09.760 --> 0:28:12.280
<v Speaker 1>But no, this is a young man's game. I'm fifty

0:28:12.359 --> 0:28:14.120
<v Speaker 1>years old right now. I don't need to go back

0:28:14.119 --> 0:28:16.960
<v Speaker 1>out there that improve anything. I'm good. The funny thing is, though,

0:28:16.960 --> 0:28:19.199
<v Speaker 1>at the end of your career, you did right. You

0:28:19.359 --> 0:28:23.480
<v Speaker 1>played three years after the NFL for the Tampa Bay

0:28:23.560 --> 0:28:26.320
<v Speaker 1>Storm of the Arena Football League. Yeah. I can honestly

0:28:26.359 --> 0:28:28.200
<v Speaker 1>say that I was one of those athletes or former

0:28:28.240 --> 0:28:31.440
<v Speaker 1>athletes that had that itch. After hanging up my cleats,

0:28:31.480 --> 0:28:34.000
<v Speaker 1>I thought I was done, said on my couch, started

0:28:34.000 --> 0:28:36.440
<v Speaker 1>watching football again, and you know, got myself back in shape.

0:28:36.480 --> 0:28:37.920
<v Speaker 1>I was like, wait a minute, healed up from all

0:28:37.920 --> 0:28:40.680
<v Speaker 1>the injuries and the beatings that I took, and said, waynut,

0:28:40.680 --> 0:28:42.720
<v Speaker 1>I think I can give it another try, and so

0:28:42.800 --> 0:28:45.560
<v Speaker 1>my agent at the time suggested, just try arena football

0:28:45.600 --> 0:28:47.160
<v Speaker 1>so you can see, you know, people can see that

0:28:47.200 --> 0:28:50.080
<v Speaker 1>you can play, and maybe you'll get another shot at

0:28:50.120 --> 0:28:53.360
<v Speaker 1>the National Football League. But arena football took whatever football

0:28:53.440 --> 0:28:55.880
<v Speaker 1>dreams the left I had in me took it out

0:28:55.960 --> 0:28:57.640
<v Speaker 1>and I walked off the field from that and I

0:28:57.680 --> 0:29:00.160
<v Speaker 1>was like, I'm done. I'm definitely done. You know, it's

0:29:00.200 --> 0:29:02.840
<v Speaker 1>something about the chances you tank, Lincoln, because I played

0:29:02.880 --> 0:29:05.640
<v Speaker 1>my first three years in the USFL and kind of

0:29:05.680 --> 0:29:09.120
<v Speaker 1>stepped outside the NFL box after I got drafted, and

0:29:09.160 --> 0:29:11.360
<v Speaker 1>it was a great experience for me. But you know,

0:29:11.440 --> 0:29:14.120
<v Speaker 1>reading about you, I can't I cannot wait to ask

0:29:14.120 --> 0:29:16.560
<v Speaker 1>you this question because we played about the same amount

0:29:16.560 --> 0:29:18.960
<v Speaker 1>of time. I played offensive guard, you played offensive tackle.

0:29:19.240 --> 0:29:22.440
<v Speaker 1>In my time, I think I recovered one fumble. I

0:29:22.560 --> 0:29:26.280
<v Speaker 1>read that you recovered nine fumbles in your career. Is

0:29:26.560 --> 0:29:28.960
<v Speaker 1>that true? Yeah, well, I mean I don't know the

0:29:28.960 --> 0:29:31.480
<v Speaker 1>exact step that that sounds about, right, Tom. The thing

0:29:31.600 --> 0:29:35.600
<v Speaker 1>is is that since college, pride myself of always trying

0:29:35.600 --> 0:29:38.000
<v Speaker 1>to be around the ball, help protect the ball carriers

0:29:38.080 --> 0:29:40.200
<v Speaker 1>or the receivers, and so I would hustle down the

0:29:40.240 --> 0:29:42.320
<v Speaker 1>field to either pick my guys up off the floor

0:29:42.400 --> 0:29:44.880
<v Speaker 1>or in the ground or just or you know, just

0:29:44.920 --> 0:29:46.719
<v Speaker 1>be around the ball, as I said, And there were

0:29:46.720 --> 0:29:48.480
<v Speaker 1>times there were opportunities where the balls out and you

0:29:48.560 --> 0:29:50.640
<v Speaker 1>got to go in there and try to pride. But

0:29:51.080 --> 0:29:53.520
<v Speaker 1>being on both the bottom of most of those pots,

0:29:53.680 --> 0:29:57.120
<v Speaker 1>I can tell you anything goes. Everything happened to everybody's

0:29:57.120 --> 0:29:59.360
<v Speaker 1>trying to go for the football. So it was it

0:29:59.400 --> 0:30:00.520
<v Speaker 1>was one of those play This is where I just

0:30:00.520 --> 0:30:02.040
<v Speaker 1>try to take my big body and curl up with

0:30:02.080 --> 0:30:04.400
<v Speaker 1>the fetal position and can take myself until the rest

0:30:04.400 --> 0:30:08.280
<v Speaker 1>of dusted everything off. All right, let's talk about your

0:30:08.280 --> 0:30:10.720
<v Speaker 1>big body and the big bodies of offensive tackles. Can

0:30:10.760 --> 0:30:13.080
<v Speaker 1>you look at you know, six six six seven frame,

0:30:13.200 --> 0:30:15.920
<v Speaker 1>three hundred plus pounds when you look I don't know

0:30:15.960 --> 0:30:18.640
<v Speaker 1>if you had a chance to watch Robert Quinn's rushes

0:30:18.840 --> 0:30:23.520
<v Speaker 1>yet when you see his bendability with that positive forward movement,

0:30:24.320 --> 0:30:27.440
<v Speaker 1>what advice would you give to a young offensive tackle.

0:30:27.480 --> 0:30:29.840
<v Speaker 1>You know, they just played Penna sul Up in Detroit,

0:30:30.520 --> 0:30:32.880
<v Speaker 1>and you know, so you know, you guys got leatherwood

0:30:32.920 --> 0:30:35.720
<v Speaker 1>there and curators. What advice do you give a big

0:30:35.760 --> 0:30:38.880
<v Speaker 1>tackle about how to play a guy with that bendability. Well,

0:30:38.880 --> 0:30:40.960
<v Speaker 1>you know what, here's the thing. Time the game has

0:30:41.240 --> 0:30:44.920
<v Speaker 1>reformed itself where it actually just evolved itself to seven years.

0:30:44.920 --> 0:30:46.880
<v Speaker 1>I mean in seven days a week, twenty four hours

0:30:46.920 --> 0:30:49.200
<v Speaker 1>a day, year around. It's no longer like it was

0:30:49.240 --> 0:30:52.280
<v Speaker 1>for us what we had the majority thought that it

0:30:52.400 --> 0:30:54.480
<v Speaker 1>was six months on, six months off. You've got to

0:30:54.520 --> 0:30:56.920
<v Speaker 1>always keep yourself in shape. And what I try to suggest,

0:30:57.000 --> 0:31:00.280
<v Speaker 1>especially the offensive linement, was that when I play, I

0:31:00.320 --> 0:31:03.479
<v Speaker 1>did things like acupuncture, I did things like pilate, yoga,

0:31:03.920 --> 0:31:06.400
<v Speaker 1>just everything I could to keep myself limber. You've got

0:31:06.400 --> 0:31:08.680
<v Speaker 1>to keep yourself limber because you never know, as an

0:31:08.680 --> 0:31:10.600
<v Speaker 1>offensive linement, when somebody's going to fall in your legs

0:31:10.600 --> 0:31:14.240
<v Speaker 1>and awkward places. So flexibility is absolutely key and essential

0:31:14.520 --> 0:31:17.040
<v Speaker 1>as well as just the overall investment in your body

0:31:17.280 --> 0:31:18.680
<v Speaker 1>you have to figure out. I read a lot of

0:31:18.680 --> 0:31:21.400
<v Speaker 1>books and one of the best ones was eat Right

0:31:21.440 --> 0:31:24.160
<v Speaker 1>for Your Blood Type, which showed you foods that are

0:31:24.160 --> 0:31:26.880
<v Speaker 1>more beneficial to your body style bodies type than others,

0:31:27.120 --> 0:31:28.760
<v Speaker 1>and those are the type of the investments that you

0:31:28.800 --> 0:31:30.440
<v Speaker 1>have to do in your body, in my opinion, in

0:31:30.520 --> 0:31:32.760
<v Speaker 1>order to stay around. You see guys like Tom Brady,

0:31:32.840 --> 0:31:35.200
<v Speaker 1>Lebron James. They invest tons and tons of money into

0:31:35.240 --> 0:31:37.560
<v Speaker 1>their body just so they can keep performing. I think

0:31:37.600 --> 0:31:40.040
<v Speaker 1>offensive linements need to soon take a page out of that,

0:31:40.080 --> 0:31:42.880
<v Speaker 1>because you know it's hard. It's hard, and it's hard

0:31:42.920 --> 0:31:45.560
<v Speaker 1>to stay on that level and stay at that competitive edge.

0:31:45.680 --> 0:31:47.160
<v Speaker 1>You've got to invest in your body if you want

0:31:47.160 --> 0:31:49.120
<v Speaker 1>to do it. Link and Kennedy our guest here on

0:31:49.240 --> 0:31:52.080
<v Speaker 1>Bears All Access. It's brought to you by IGS Energy.

0:31:52.280 --> 0:31:54.680
<v Speaker 1>As Tom and I break down the Raiders, we start

0:31:54.720 --> 0:31:56.920
<v Speaker 1>always with the offensive line of every team, and so

0:31:57.400 --> 0:32:00.000
<v Speaker 1>I'll redo all redo with that group. And some big

0:32:00.120 --> 0:32:02.240
<v Speaker 1>names no longer a part of that or on the

0:32:02.280 --> 0:32:04.440
<v Speaker 1>injured list right now, how is that line adapting? We

0:32:04.480 --> 0:32:07.840
<v Speaker 1>watched them on Monday night obviously against the Chargers. But

0:32:08.000 --> 0:32:10.120
<v Speaker 1>Leatherwood is a great place to start because he comes

0:32:10.120 --> 0:32:12.440
<v Speaker 1>from a big program and a lot on his shoulders

0:32:12.480 --> 0:32:14.640
<v Speaker 1>right now. Well, I like Alice Leatherwood because he loves

0:32:14.640 --> 0:32:16.959
<v Speaker 1>to play football. More important, he likes to be people up.

0:32:17.000 --> 0:32:18.760
<v Speaker 1>So he's right and same mentality that I had as

0:32:18.760 --> 0:32:20.920
<v Speaker 1>an offensive lineman right there, but more for them, he

0:32:20.960 --> 0:32:23.080
<v Speaker 1>still needs to belt. There's still things that especially at

0:32:23.120 --> 0:32:24.960
<v Speaker 1>his pass sets. He needs to work on it, and

0:32:24.960 --> 0:32:27.760
<v Speaker 1>the only time is going to tell what kind of

0:32:27.840 --> 0:32:30.440
<v Speaker 1>player is going to be. And I've always believed offensive

0:32:30.440 --> 0:32:32.479
<v Speaker 1>linemen and quarterbacks are two of the positions that need

0:32:32.480 --> 0:32:34.640
<v Speaker 1>as me reps as possible. So you don't put anybody

0:32:34.640 --> 0:32:36.160
<v Speaker 1>on a sieline and make them hold a clipboard. They've

0:32:36.160 --> 0:32:37.320
<v Speaker 1>got to be out there, They've got to see it,

0:32:37.360 --> 0:32:40.120
<v Speaker 1>They've got experience. Schematic wise, there are things that coaches

0:32:40.160 --> 0:32:42.200
<v Speaker 1>can do to help protect some offensive tackles or offensive

0:32:42.200 --> 0:32:45.160
<v Speaker 1>players that struggle, especially in the offensive line. But we're yet,

0:32:45.240 --> 0:32:48.200
<v Speaker 1>We're still seeing that developer Tom Cable and coach Rod

0:32:48.240 --> 0:32:50.360
<v Speaker 1>and staff with the Raiders. But for the most part,

0:32:50.400 --> 0:32:52.160
<v Speaker 1>I think Alice Leatherwood is going to be good. I

0:32:52.200 --> 0:32:55.520
<v Speaker 1>like the fact that he can be a strong run blocker.

0:32:55.800 --> 0:32:58.320
<v Speaker 1>He's coming along in the past game overall with the

0:32:58.360 --> 0:33:00.840
<v Speaker 1>offensive line, especially with the interior apart, you guys know

0:33:00.920 --> 0:33:03.360
<v Speaker 1>that we've had some changes. Denzel Good, who was listed

0:33:03.400 --> 0:33:05.480
<v Speaker 1>as a right guard, went down in Game one in

0:33:05.600 --> 0:33:06.880
<v Speaker 1>his own iron for the rest of the year with

0:33:06.960 --> 0:33:10.120
<v Speaker 1>a torn up knee. Richie Incognito has yet to play yet,

0:33:10.160 --> 0:33:13.240
<v Speaker 1>and they grud has really been hush hush as to

0:33:13.320 --> 0:33:15.480
<v Speaker 1>why but he's been put on the ir for the

0:33:15.560 --> 0:33:17.760
<v Speaker 1>next couple of weeks, so he's down. So John Simpson,

0:33:18.080 --> 0:33:20.160
<v Speaker 1>with the former third round draft choice that they got

0:33:20.160 --> 0:33:22.840
<v Speaker 1>from Clemson a few years go, has been thrust it

0:33:22.880 --> 0:33:26.000
<v Speaker 1>into the starting position, as well as Germania Leminoire, who

0:33:26.040 --> 0:33:28.760
<v Speaker 1>was a recent addition right after the training camp. He's

0:33:28.760 --> 0:33:30.680
<v Speaker 1>got some experience coming out of a Texas A and

0:33:30.800 --> 0:33:32.560
<v Speaker 1>m I think he's a fifth year player from my

0:33:32.760 --> 0:33:34.720
<v Speaker 1>mistaken have my notes right in front of me. And

0:33:34.720 --> 0:33:37.040
<v Speaker 1>then Andre James, who played mostly tackle it in his

0:33:37.160 --> 0:33:40.080
<v Speaker 1>college days but has been converted to center. He struggled

0:33:40.080 --> 0:33:41.960
<v Speaker 1>a little bit, but Tom, you know, I had the

0:33:42.040 --> 0:33:45.520
<v Speaker 1>utmost confidence in coach Cable, the offensive line coach. He's

0:33:45.560 --> 0:33:47.440
<v Speaker 1>the one who got Colt Miller a few years ago.

0:33:47.360 --> 0:33:49.040
<v Speaker 1>It turned out to be a good franchise tackle for

0:33:49.040 --> 0:33:51.800
<v Speaker 1>the Raiders left tackle. This is a work in progress,

0:33:51.840 --> 0:33:55.160
<v Speaker 1>but overall it's it's a group that I see improving

0:33:55.200 --> 0:33:57.640
<v Speaker 1>as a year goes on. John Gruden's father was our

0:33:57.760 --> 0:34:00.160
<v Speaker 1>running backs coach when I went to college, so it's

0:34:00.200 --> 0:34:02.760
<v Speaker 1>kind of an offensive centric family. When you think about

0:34:02.760 --> 0:34:05.560
<v Speaker 1>the defense though the Raiders, you know they always had

0:34:05.600 --> 0:34:08.120
<v Speaker 1>that tough guy reputation going back to when I was

0:34:08.120 --> 0:34:11.200
<v Speaker 1>a kid. Does Gruden have any hands on approach to

0:34:11.239 --> 0:34:15.319
<v Speaker 1>the defense or is he totally quarterback offensive centric and

0:34:15.360 --> 0:34:19.200
<v Speaker 1>then the defense coaches take care of themselves. Totally offensive minded.

0:34:19.280 --> 0:34:21.040
<v Speaker 1>He always has been, even the days when I played

0:34:21.040 --> 0:34:23.720
<v Speaker 1>for him. He's always been offensive minded, focused on the quarterback,

0:34:23.920 --> 0:34:26.160
<v Speaker 1>focused on the offensive game plan of skiing in scheme.

0:34:26.480 --> 0:34:29.239
<v Speaker 1>He's turned over the defensive tourists to Gus Bradley, who

0:34:29.280 --> 0:34:31.680
<v Speaker 1>has done a fairly good job so far. The Raiders

0:34:31.719 --> 0:34:33.320
<v Speaker 1>are three and one after the first month of football.

0:34:33.320 --> 0:34:34.719
<v Speaker 1>I don't think you can you mean, you can ask

0:34:34.719 --> 0:34:37.400
<v Speaker 1>for better than that before. No, but it's unlikely, especially

0:34:37.480 --> 0:34:40.080
<v Speaker 1>the party that's in today's game. But for the most part,

0:34:40.160 --> 0:34:42.400
<v Speaker 1>Gruden has turned over the defensive Gus Bradley, who's got

0:34:42.440 --> 0:34:44.600
<v Speaker 1>those guys spired up. Now. This is a case where

0:34:44.719 --> 0:34:46.440
<v Speaker 1>you know, there's gonna be a few injuries, especially in

0:34:46.480 --> 0:34:48.719
<v Speaker 1>the secondary, that they have to deal with. But for

0:34:48.760 --> 0:34:50.759
<v Speaker 1>the most part, the strength of this defense right now

0:34:51.080 --> 0:34:53.040
<v Speaker 1>is the pass rush. Of pass rush ability from the

0:34:53.040 --> 0:34:55.680
<v Speaker 1>defensive line, if they can generate some movement and some

0:34:56.000 --> 0:34:58.359
<v Speaker 1>you know, some rush stores of quarterback to make those

0:34:58.440 --> 0:35:01.319
<v Speaker 1>quarterbacks feel uncomfortable. That's that's the big process, that's the

0:35:01.400 --> 0:35:03.359
<v Speaker 1>key to this defense, playing discovers to the cover three

0:35:03.400 --> 0:35:06.120
<v Speaker 1>style defense. You know, Jeff and I came from Cleveland

0:35:06.200 --> 0:35:08.080
<v Speaker 1>two weeks ago. We talked about the black hole in

0:35:08.080 --> 0:35:11.800
<v Speaker 1>the Midwest. What is the atmosphere inside the Vegas Stadium

0:35:11.840 --> 0:35:15.480
<v Speaker 1>on behalf of the Raiders? Absolutely wonderful. I mean, you guys,

0:35:15.719 --> 0:35:17.080
<v Speaker 1>if you guys get a chance to come out with

0:35:17.120 --> 0:35:19.239
<v Speaker 1>the Bears, you'll see it firsthand. But this is the

0:35:19.280 --> 0:35:22.399
<v Speaker 1>first time I've been affiliated with the Raiders well over

0:35:22.440 --> 0:35:25.040
<v Speaker 1>twenty five years, quarter of a century, and this is

0:35:25.080 --> 0:35:26.880
<v Speaker 1>the first time I can honestly say the Raiders have

0:35:27.040 --> 0:35:30.200
<v Speaker 1>their own home. When they were in LA, they had

0:35:30.200 --> 0:35:32.520
<v Speaker 1>to share with sc and was a bigger name, a

0:35:32.520 --> 0:35:35.279
<v Speaker 1>bigger draw at the Coliseum in LA even though they

0:35:35.320 --> 0:35:37.040
<v Speaker 1>won a Super Bowl there. And when they were back

0:35:37.040 --> 0:35:38.759
<v Speaker 1>in Oakland, they had to share the stadium with A's

0:35:39.080 --> 0:35:42.160
<v Speaker 1>and it was really, you know, really it was really

0:35:42.640 --> 0:35:44.960
<v Speaker 1>it wasn't fun to play on that infield turf, and

0:35:44.960 --> 0:35:47.600
<v Speaker 1>it really wasn't you know, a good thing to feel

0:35:47.640 --> 0:35:49.719
<v Speaker 1>that you had the most elapidated stadium in the in

0:35:50.120 --> 0:35:53.200
<v Speaker 1>the National Football League when everyone else was getting new stadiums.

0:35:53.360 --> 0:35:55.680
<v Speaker 1>You were left to play in that disaster. But now

0:35:55.680 --> 0:35:57.680
<v Speaker 1>that they're in Vegas, they've got their own home. A

0:35:57.760 --> 0:36:01.240
<v Speaker 1>legion is beautiful. It's a definite home advantage the crowd

0:36:01.239 --> 0:36:03.040
<v Speaker 1>has played into in the two games that they played

0:36:03.040 --> 0:36:06.359
<v Speaker 1>there so far. And more importantly, it's the Raiders home.

0:36:06.400 --> 0:36:09.480
<v Speaker 1>So when you walk through Allegia Stadium, it's everything Raiders.

0:36:09.600 --> 0:36:11.080
<v Speaker 1>And that's the first time that I've seen this since

0:36:11.080 --> 0:36:13.680
<v Speaker 1>I've been affiliated with the program. Link Kennedy our guest

0:36:13.680 --> 0:36:15.680
<v Speaker 1>a couple of more moments with the former left tackle

0:36:15.719 --> 0:36:18.960
<v Speaker 1>and now radio analyst, and that fast turf, I'm sure

0:36:19.239 --> 0:36:23.120
<v Speaker 1>is exactly what is making Max Crosby deadly at home

0:36:23.200 --> 0:36:25.880
<v Speaker 1>sack in the quarterback. So he's an interesting character that

0:36:25.920 --> 0:36:28.080
<v Speaker 1>we were introduced to when we played you guys in London,

0:36:28.200 --> 0:36:30.239
<v Speaker 1>and he was kind of a surprised guy as a

0:36:30.440 --> 0:36:33.240
<v Speaker 1>later round pick from Eastern Michigan. But he's a different

0:36:33.239 --> 0:36:35.600
<v Speaker 1>player on the home service, isn't he. Well, there's no

0:36:35.600 --> 0:36:37.400
<v Speaker 1>doubt about it. And you know what, I took my

0:36:37.440 --> 0:36:41.000
<v Speaker 1>hat to Max Frosby because in this offseason, especially after

0:36:41.040 --> 0:36:44.279
<v Speaker 1>his second year, he really cleaned himself up. He cleaned

0:36:44.360 --> 0:36:46.719
<v Speaker 1>himself up mentally and physically. And what I mean by

0:36:46.760 --> 0:36:49.080
<v Speaker 1>that is he did this no secret. He went to

0:36:49.080 --> 0:36:53.080
<v Speaker 1>a rehabilitation center and got his life straight and discerned

0:36:53.120 --> 0:36:55.120
<v Speaker 1>that he was going to invest a lot into hisself.

0:36:55.120 --> 0:36:57.360
<v Speaker 1>And right now it's paid off. He's playing at a

0:36:57.400 --> 0:36:59.640
<v Speaker 1>really high level, and the Raiders kind of were kind

0:36:59.640 --> 0:37:01.960
<v Speaker 1>of looking forward to that this is a very critical time.

0:37:01.960 --> 0:37:04.000
<v Speaker 1>We know the breakout season that he had as the rookie,

0:37:04.280 --> 0:37:06.680
<v Speaker 1>and then of course it was almost like a sophomore slump,

0:37:06.719 --> 0:37:08.719
<v Speaker 1>but it was just the fact that more offenses were

0:37:08.719 --> 0:37:11.279
<v Speaker 1>paying more attention to him than they did his first

0:37:11.360 --> 0:37:13.719
<v Speaker 1>year and keying on him, so that took him a

0:37:13.760 --> 0:37:15.440
<v Speaker 1>little bit of a step back. But this is so

0:37:15.480 --> 0:37:18.680
<v Speaker 1>far this year, he's been an absolute crowd record And

0:37:18.719 --> 0:37:20.640
<v Speaker 1>as I mentioned a moment ago, you know, the key

0:37:20.680 --> 0:37:22.640
<v Speaker 1>to this defense, playing the style of defense is you're

0:37:22.640 --> 0:37:24.920
<v Speaker 1>gonna have press coverage on the outside receivers, but you've

0:37:24.960 --> 0:37:26.720
<v Speaker 1>got to have a front four that can generate pressure

0:37:27.000 --> 0:37:29.160
<v Speaker 1>or at least make the quarterback feel uncomfortable to get

0:37:29.200 --> 0:37:30.640
<v Speaker 1>rid of the ball. You'll take a lot of the

0:37:30.680 --> 0:37:33.080
<v Speaker 1>short underneath stuff because as you get closer to the

0:37:33.080 --> 0:37:35.560
<v Speaker 1>red zone, you guys, know, the field becomes more compact

0:37:35.560 --> 0:37:37.239
<v Speaker 1>and becomes tighter, and it becomes less and less than

0:37:37.760 --> 0:37:39.839
<v Speaker 1>ability for you able to stretch it like that, So

0:37:40.080 --> 0:37:41.839
<v Speaker 1>you know you've got to have a pass rushing Max

0:37:41.880 --> 0:37:44.960
<v Speaker 1>Crosby and crew have really stepped up this year. Alan

0:37:45.040 --> 0:37:47.160
<v Speaker 1>Robinson and Darnell Mooney. They had eight catches for one

0:37:47.200 --> 0:37:49.160
<v Speaker 1>hundred and eighty eight yards. Biggest game of the season

0:37:49.520 --> 0:37:51.520
<v Speaker 1>now Monday Night. To look like you guys had some

0:37:51.640 --> 0:37:54.320
<v Speaker 1>cornerback issues with guys leaving the game. I don't know

0:37:54.440 --> 0:37:58.239
<v Speaker 1>their status. What you know is that going to Is

0:37:58.239 --> 0:37:59.839
<v Speaker 1>that going to be a matchup that the Bears will

0:37:59.840 --> 0:38:01.960
<v Speaker 1>be able to take advantage of, or is this some

0:38:02.120 --> 0:38:05.880
<v Speaker 1>kind of a recoverable injury scenario for the Raiders? You

0:38:05.920 --> 0:38:07.719
<v Speaker 1>know what, Tom, In all honesty, we don't have any

0:38:07.760 --> 0:38:10.280
<v Speaker 1>clarity as a significant or the extent of the injuries

0:38:10.320 --> 0:38:12.399
<v Speaker 1>on the defensive backs. Trayvon Mullen was one of them.

0:38:12.440 --> 0:38:15.759
<v Speaker 1>David Arnett also went out. Casey Hayward is in the corner.

0:38:15.800 --> 0:38:17.880
<v Speaker 1>I think actually finished the game if I'm not mistaken.

0:38:18.160 --> 0:38:20.560
<v Speaker 1>So we do have some issues at corner, and yes

0:38:20.600 --> 0:38:23.080
<v Speaker 1>it is an issue. It's something that can definitely be

0:38:23.280 --> 0:38:26.200
<v Speaker 1>exploited because unfortunately, you know, as a Raider guy, I

0:38:26.200 --> 0:38:28.719
<v Speaker 1>don't want to say that, but it's true. You can

0:38:28.760 --> 0:38:31.000
<v Speaker 1>see teams going at it, you know, and it's bad

0:38:31.040 --> 0:38:34.000
<v Speaker 1>for in sense, not necessarily bad, but it's concerning for

0:38:34.080 --> 0:38:36.320
<v Speaker 1>the Raiders because for all the types of purpose, it

0:38:36.400 --> 0:38:38.279
<v Speaker 1>seems the Bears with men able to figure out justin

0:38:38.320 --> 0:38:40.520
<v Speaker 1>pills at least one game. So the last thing you

0:38:40.560 --> 0:38:42.120
<v Speaker 1>want to do is come in when your defense is

0:38:42.120 --> 0:38:44.759
<v Speaker 1>struggling and going up against an offensive seems to get

0:38:44.760 --> 0:38:47.040
<v Speaker 1>it hot. And that seems we've gotten hot. So yeah,

0:38:47.080 --> 0:38:49.120
<v Speaker 1>it is a case we're concerned. All right, last question,

0:38:49.120 --> 0:38:51.719
<v Speaker 1>We'll let you go link, appreciate all your time. We

0:38:51.760 --> 0:38:54.480
<v Speaker 1>say the best for last Derek Carr. He's had a

0:38:54.520 --> 0:38:57.080
<v Speaker 1>great start to the season and then couple that with

0:38:57.120 --> 0:39:00.279
<v Speaker 1>the slow start issue going on with you guys. Has

0:39:00.280 --> 0:39:02.480
<v Speaker 1>it been pinpointed as to why because Bears went through

0:39:02.520 --> 0:39:05.799
<v Speaker 1>that last year? You know, in my opinion, it's execution.

0:39:06.040 --> 0:39:08.880
<v Speaker 1>I've always felt that coaches, coach players played, you can

0:39:08.960 --> 0:39:11.279
<v Speaker 1>put the best game plan together in the world to

0:39:11.360 --> 0:39:13.800
<v Speaker 1>defeat every defense or every offense however you want to

0:39:13.800 --> 0:39:15.759
<v Speaker 1>look at it, and you could still come up short.

0:39:15.760 --> 0:39:18.880
<v Speaker 1>If you don't have the execution, the slow starts to

0:39:19.160 --> 0:39:22.920
<v Speaker 1>sort of them as the execution. And it's unfortunate because

0:39:23.200 --> 0:39:25.760
<v Speaker 1>you've seen what Derek can do when he gets protection

0:39:25.840 --> 0:39:28.560
<v Speaker 1>or when he gets tired. Derek has been able to exploit,

0:39:28.960 --> 0:39:31.280
<v Speaker 1>exploit all the weapons that he has in his arsenal.

0:39:31.440 --> 0:39:34.960
<v Speaker 1>You know Henry Ruggs, Brian Edwards, Hunter renfroll as well

0:39:35.000 --> 0:39:37.640
<v Speaker 1>as Darren Waller. They have yet to really get the

0:39:37.920 --> 0:39:40.200
<v Speaker 1>run game consistent, but I think that's a work in progress.

0:39:40.200 --> 0:39:44.160
<v Speaker 1>With the two additions, especially at Guard that there weren't

0:39:44.160 --> 0:39:46.200
<v Speaker 1>a plan to expect it to be there when the

0:39:46.239 --> 0:39:49.120
<v Speaker 1>season started. So u this is an offense that has

0:39:49.280 --> 0:39:53.080
<v Speaker 1>the potential of being a high explosive, powerful offense. Hasn't

0:39:53.080 --> 0:39:55.680
<v Speaker 1>seen its full potential yet. But it's all to me

0:39:55.719 --> 0:39:58.120
<v Speaker 1>and when it's slow started is attributed to its execution.

0:39:58.200 --> 0:40:01.319
<v Speaker 1>In my opinion, I appreciate it and Hunter Renfroze hit

0:40:01.640 --> 0:40:03.560
<v Speaker 1>literally had me jumping up in the air. I was

0:40:03.840 --> 0:40:06.040
<v Speaker 1>hosted by myself. I'm like, oh my gosh, what a

0:40:06.080 --> 0:40:09.560
<v Speaker 1>great play. I love players like that. So looking forward

0:40:09.600 --> 0:40:11.160
<v Speaker 1>to seeing you out there. Thank you so much for

0:40:11.200 --> 0:40:14.600

<v Speaker 1>Talk about Bears jersey. There's gonna be a lot of

0:40:45.239 --> 0:40:48.440
<v Speaker 1>them at Allegiance Stadium, Tom, and no question, I mean,

0:40:48.480 --> 0:40:53.160
<v Speaker 1>I know Raiders fans. They are legit, passionate, crazy and supportive,

0:40:53.520 --> 0:40:56.640
<v Speaker 1>and I'm certain they're gonna fill that joint. But I'll

0:40:56.680 --> 0:40:59.480
<v Speaker 1>tell you I think the Bears fans are invading and

0:40:59.480 --> 0:41:01.920
<v Speaker 1>they'll pay top dollar to be in that building. Yeah,

0:41:02.000 --> 0:41:04.319
<v Speaker 1>you know, you got to pick and choose the way

0:41:04.320 --> 0:41:06.560
<v Speaker 1>you cheer at a Raiders game if you are wearing

0:41:06.560 --> 0:41:09.879
<v Speaker 1>the opponent's callers, because a lot of these guys don't

0:41:09.880 --> 0:41:15.400
<v Speaker 1>take too kindly to the opponents. Frans trading their stadium,

0:41:15.400 --> 0:41:18.000
<v Speaker 1>and like when we talk to Lincoln Kennedy, he talks

0:41:18.040 --> 0:41:20.799
<v Speaker 1>about the Raiders finally have what they can call a

0:41:20.920 --> 0:41:24.320
<v Speaker 1>home because they were so makeshift for so many years,

0:41:24.400 --> 0:41:28.120
<v Speaker 1>moving around and sharing facilities. This is a facility that

0:41:28.200 --> 0:41:31.960
<v Speaker 1>they want to build into their their their home like

0:41:32.160 --> 0:41:34.480
<v Speaker 1>never before. All right, let's listen to Sean Decay, the

0:41:34.520 --> 0:41:37.960
<v Speaker 1>Bears defensive coordinator. Bears are leading the league in sacks

0:41:38.000 --> 0:41:40.439
<v Speaker 1>with fifteen pieces. It's a start. It's only a four

0:41:40.440 --> 0:41:42.239
<v Speaker 1>weeks end of the season, so let's let's have that

0:41:42.360 --> 0:41:46.400
<v Speaker 1>consistency keep building. But defending the Raiders not an easy test.

0:41:46.520 --> 0:41:48.880
<v Speaker 1>They have a lot of weapons. With a quarterback right

0:41:48.960 --> 0:41:51.320
<v Speaker 1>now that has confidence and is in sync with his

0:41:51.400 --> 0:41:55.360
<v Speaker 1>head coach and John Gruden. The difficulties you're preparing for everything,

0:41:56.400 --> 0:41:58.480
<v Speaker 1>and so you've got to be really good at everything.

0:42:00.160 --> 0:42:02.400
<v Speaker 1>Is built. The Raiders I'm talking about is built to

0:42:02.640 --> 0:42:05.000
<v Speaker 1>attack everything. You know. They can attack your edges in

0:42:05.040 --> 0:42:07.480
<v Speaker 1>the run game, they can hitch you downhill, Jacobs is

0:42:07.520 --> 0:42:10.880
<v Speaker 1>a physical downhill runner, and you guys saw it on

0:42:10.920 --> 0:42:14.120
<v Speaker 1>tape every week this year where they're gonna get their

0:42:14.120 --> 0:42:17.359
<v Speaker 1>past explosives. Then there's gonna be points in the time

0:42:17.360 --> 0:42:19.360
<v Speaker 1>where they're just gonna tell Rugs to run to the

0:42:19.360 --> 0:42:20.880
<v Speaker 1>green grass and Derek's gonna throw it to the green

0:42:20.920 --> 0:42:23.040
<v Speaker 1>grass and he's gonna go catch it, and they take

0:42:23.080 --> 0:42:24.680
<v Speaker 1>a lot of shots with eighty nine on the outside

0:42:24.680 --> 0:42:27.560
<v Speaker 1>two eighty nine Brian Edwards. But the big part of

0:42:27.560 --> 0:42:30.000
<v Speaker 1>this whole thing is dealing with that tight end. Though

0:42:30.040 --> 0:42:33.840
<v Speaker 1>the tight end position obviously has blossomed with Darren Waller.

0:42:34.200 --> 0:42:37.319
<v Speaker 1>I go back twenty two touchdowns in his career. Now

0:42:37.320 --> 0:42:39.440
<v Speaker 1>he's got fourteen more in that period of time and

0:42:39.480 --> 0:42:41.920
<v Speaker 1>over two hundred catches time. He is alload to deal with.

0:42:42.400 --> 0:42:46.319
<v Speaker 1>But I think Sean decides defense that back end because

0:42:46.320 --> 0:42:50.600
<v Speaker 1>they've given up five big shots that have led the touchdowns.

0:42:50.600 --> 0:42:53.840
<v Speaker 1>It's tied for the most in the NFL. Yeah, you know,

0:42:53.880 --> 0:42:57.480
<v Speaker 1>I'll tell you what. When you have this quarterback coach relationship,

0:42:57.520 --> 0:42:59.719
<v Speaker 1>and you've seen it throughout history in the league, whether

0:42:59.760 --> 0:43:02.799
<v Speaker 1>it be Drew Brees and Sean Payton or some of

0:43:02.800 --> 0:43:06.239
<v Speaker 1>the other relationships you have. That's what you really have

0:43:06.280 --> 0:43:09.840
<v Speaker 1>to pay attention to, because if they recognize vulnerability in

0:43:09.880 --> 0:43:13.320
<v Speaker 1>your defense, they're the type of guys that will attack

0:43:13.360 --> 0:43:16.480
<v Speaker 1>it repeatedly. But when you have a weapon, like they're

0:43:16.560 --> 0:43:19.560
<v Speaker 1>tight end, this guy can line up all over the field.

0:43:19.680 --> 0:43:24.239
<v Speaker 1>He can be a matchup nightmare from the line of

0:43:24.239 --> 0:43:27.400
<v Speaker 1>scrimmage anywhere he lines up. So you don't want to

0:43:27.440 --> 0:43:32.160
<v Speaker 1>show that you're incapable of stopping their tight end, but

0:43:32.400 --> 0:43:35.880
<v Speaker 1>you want to make sure that you're capable of stopping

0:43:35.920 --> 0:43:40.439
<v Speaker 1>their first big play efforts because if you don't, look

0:43:40.440 --> 0:43:43.080
<v Speaker 1>for him to go over the top continuously. As we

0:43:43.239 --> 0:43:46.520
<v Speaker 1>discussed with Lincoln Kennedy in our last segment, the Raiders

0:43:46.800 --> 0:43:49.080
<v Speaker 1>scored us on their opening offensive possession. Now, for the

0:43:49.200 --> 0:43:52.600
<v Speaker 1>tenth consecutive game, dating back to last year, they've been

0:43:52.600 --> 0:43:55.000
<v Speaker 1>in a twenty one point deficit, a couple of fourteen

0:43:55.040 --> 0:43:58.439
<v Speaker 1>point deficits. So jump on him early, and just like

0:43:58.560 --> 0:44:01.960
<v Speaker 1>last week, Germaine effete earlier this week discussing this, you know,

0:44:02.000 --> 0:44:04.600
<v Speaker 1>Matt Nagy put it on the old line and David

0:44:04.640 --> 0:44:08.879
<v Speaker 1>Montgomery delivered. Montgomery not here this week. The offensive line,

0:44:08.920 --> 0:44:11.480
<v Speaker 1>though I would hope have that same kind of mentality

0:44:11.760 --> 0:44:14.840
<v Speaker 1>that they gave last week. We just want the opportunity

0:44:14.880 --> 0:44:17.239
<v Speaker 1>to show who we are. And I think Sunday was

0:44:17.280 --> 0:44:19.759
<v Speaker 1>a cool step in the right direction of all right,

0:44:19.800 --> 0:44:21.480
<v Speaker 1>this is who we are. We can we can run it,

0:44:21.560 --> 0:44:22.960
<v Speaker 1>we could throw it. We have too, we could throw

0:44:22.960 --> 0:44:24.759
<v Speaker 1>it around. We've got some good receivers, and we've got

0:44:24.800 --> 0:44:29.400
<v Speaker 1>some capable pass protectors, and we have a quarterbacks that

0:44:29.480 --> 0:44:32.880
<v Speaker 1>can really sling it. But the fact that they trusted

0:44:32.960 --> 0:44:35.520
<v Speaker 1>us and said, hey, we're gonna put it on y'all,

0:44:35.600 --> 0:44:39.680
<v Speaker 1>let's y'all tight ends JP leading up in there a

0:44:39.680 --> 0:44:42.160
<v Speaker 1>few times. You know, It's it's really cool. It's cool.

0:44:42.600 --> 0:44:44.560
<v Speaker 1>It's cool to be able to lean on guys because

0:44:45.040 --> 0:44:47.160
<v Speaker 1>you start to you start to have an identity, you

0:44:47.200 --> 0:44:49.480
<v Speaker 1>start to you start to make them feel you. When

0:44:49.480 --> 0:44:53.160
<v Speaker 1>the defense start feeling you, you know, you start scoring

0:44:53.200 --> 0:44:55.120
<v Speaker 1>points too. I think it's twenty one zero at one point.

0:44:55.120 --> 0:44:57.239
<v Speaker 1>You know, that feels good. That feels good, and we

0:44:57.320 --> 0:44:59.640
<v Speaker 1>just want to keep having that feeling going forwards. We

0:44:59.640 --> 0:45:02.320
<v Speaker 1>know we're we're capable, and we still let some points

0:45:02.320 --> 0:45:04.879
<v Speaker 1>out there, so you can't believe it more so we'll

0:45:04.960 --> 0:45:06.920
<v Speaker 1>keep going and keep We'll just keep building on it,

0:45:06.960 --> 0:45:10.000
<v Speaker 1>but there's a really good start step in the right

0:45:10.000 --> 0:45:13.160
<v Speaker 1>direction for us. Dam How does the line of scrimmage

0:45:13.160 --> 0:45:15.759
<v Speaker 1>matchup in this game with the Raiders? But they come

0:45:15.760 --> 0:45:17.879
<v Speaker 1>off the ball. Rod Marinelli is their d line coach,

0:45:17.920 --> 0:45:19.799
<v Speaker 1>so you know, get off is number one. Okay, you

0:45:19.840 --> 0:45:22.759
<v Speaker 1>know what what Jermaineafetti said right there, that's the same

0:45:22.800 --> 0:45:25.879
<v Speaker 1>every single game and offensive lineman will ever play. They

0:45:25.880 --> 0:45:28.200
<v Speaker 1>are never going to change your number and start putting

0:45:28.239 --> 0:45:31.960
<v Speaker 1>in some pass routes for Jermaine Effetti, Jason Peters, Cody

0:45:32.480 --> 0:45:35.120
<v Speaker 1>James Daniels or Sam Mustin for that matter. It's all

0:45:35.200 --> 0:45:39.720
<v Speaker 1>how the tight ends will accept their responsibilities, jeff because

0:45:39.760 --> 0:45:43.319
<v Speaker 1>we have receivers as tight ends, Jimmy Graham and Cole

0:45:43.400 --> 0:45:45.279
<v Speaker 1>Commett and all and Jesse James and the rest of

0:45:45.280 --> 0:45:48.520
<v Speaker 1>the guys. But what they did last week, the blocking

0:45:48.520 --> 0:45:52.200
<v Speaker 1>display they put on. If they're unselfish and they're willing

0:45:52.239 --> 0:45:53.799
<v Speaker 1>to do that week in a week out, they can

0:45:53.880 --> 0:45:56.600
<v Speaker 1>match up against any front in the NFL, and so

0:45:56.800 --> 0:45:59.160
<v Speaker 1>they want to have those multiple blockers. I think the

0:45:59.160 --> 0:46:03.640
<v Speaker 1>Bears offensive line can control this this defensive front and

0:46:04.040 --> 0:46:07.680
<v Speaker 1>still be capable of doing any everything. Damian Williams, he

0:46:07.719 --> 0:46:11.200
<v Speaker 1>had a twenty five carry game in twenty twenty, so

0:46:11.280 --> 0:46:14.799
<v Speaker 1>he knows what that responsibility is about. Office line the same.

0:46:15.239 --> 0:46:17.959
<v Speaker 1>Give me the tight end position what they did last week.

0:46:18.080 --> 0:46:20.200
<v Speaker 1>It's Tomp there. I'm Jeff Jony Act. Thanks again to

0:46:20.239 --> 0:46:23.120
<v Speaker 1>our producers Dan Billy and Jordan Trudup and the guys

0:46:23.120 --> 0:46:25.880
<v Speaker 1>here at the Score. Thanks to our guests Travis Gibson

0:46:26.040 --> 0:46:29.040
