1
00:00:00,520 --> 00:00:04,880
Speaker 1: The first games of Giant Games. It was great. Um,

2
00:00:04,920 --> 00:00:06,520
Speaker 1: it's been a while since we've all played, so it

3
00:00:06,519 --> 00:00:07,840
Speaker 1: took a while to kind of get in the rhythm

4
00:00:07,840 --> 00:00:10,680
Speaker 1: of the game and UM, but we kind of hit

5
00:00:10,720 --> 00:00:12,760
Speaker 1: it right off the bat there, and UM got a

6
00:00:12,760 --> 00:00:16,439
Speaker 1: lot to improve on. We know that after the first game. Dude,

7
00:00:16,440 --> 00:00:19,319
Speaker 1: I only I know it's Sunday, but you've got this

8
00:00:19,520 --> 00:00:21,960
Speaker 1: double practices with the Lions coming up this week. But

9
00:00:22,040 --> 00:00:24,360
Speaker 1: the Patriots, you've done some of those kinds of things.

10
00:00:24,720 --> 00:00:26,599
Speaker 1: What do you expect that of it? What do you

11
00:00:26,640 --> 00:00:28,480
Speaker 1: tell some of your teammates maybe have never been in

12
00:00:28,520 --> 00:00:31,640
Speaker 1: one of those before. UM, My experience has always been

13
00:00:31,640 --> 00:00:35,040
Speaker 1: positive with that. Um, they've been very competitive. UM. Usually

14
00:00:35,080 --> 00:00:38,640
Speaker 1: it's very professional atmosphere where those guys play hard between

15
00:00:38,640 --> 00:00:41,360
Speaker 1: the whistles, and UM, I think that's the way you

16
00:00:41,400 --> 00:00:44,000
Speaker 1: gotta keep it because at tensions can rise when you're

17
00:00:44,000 --> 00:00:47,239
Speaker 1: that competitive at times. But that's always a good thing

18
00:00:47,360 --> 00:00:48,960
Speaker 1: as long as everyone's kind of doing it in the

19
00:00:49,080 --> 00:00:52,520
Speaker 1: spirit of competition. He's like the scrappiness that you really

20
00:00:52,560 --> 00:00:54,560
Speaker 1: have to get a grip on because that can happen

21
00:00:54,560 --> 00:00:57,200
Speaker 1: too easily. No, I think all that's good. I think

22
00:00:57,200 --> 00:01:01,080
Speaker 1: scrappiness and uh high level petition is all really good.

23
00:01:01,120 --> 00:01:03,720
Speaker 1: I think that it starts to break down when guys

24
00:01:03,720 --> 00:01:06,240
Speaker 1: are taking cheap shots and and doing things that are

25
00:01:06,319 --> 00:01:09,040
Speaker 1: outside the whistle and stuff like that which are unnecessary

26
00:01:09,120 --> 00:01:13,000
Speaker 1: to uh conducive to a good working in relationship with

27
00:01:13,000 --> 00:01:16,640
Speaker 1: another team like that? What have you thought about Will's

28
00:01:16,640 --> 00:01:19,199
Speaker 1: aggression as we get deeper ends of camp and closer

29
00:01:19,240 --> 00:01:21,360
Speaker 1: than the season, What have I thought about it? Yeah? Like,

30
00:01:21,360 --> 00:01:24,200
Speaker 1: what have you thought like? Working with him? Uh? You know,

31
00:01:24,319 --> 00:01:27,640
Speaker 1: Will has been excellent. Um, him, like all of us,

32
00:01:27,640 --> 00:01:29,920
Speaker 1: we got a lot to work on and UM, he's

33
00:01:29,920 --> 00:01:33,399
Speaker 1: coming along fast. He's doing everything you can. Really smart guy.

34
00:01:34,040 --> 00:01:36,600
Speaker 1: I've been aggressive. Like you said, he makes my job easier.

35
00:01:36,640 --> 00:01:38,600
Speaker 1: So I feel very fortunate to have a guy like

36
00:01:38,600 --> 00:01:42,600
Speaker 1: Will next to me. You say you weren't exactly happy

37
00:01:42,640 --> 00:01:44,480
Speaker 1: with your play there. Stay What was it that that

38
00:01:44,560 --> 00:01:48,640
Speaker 1: you were trying to improve on for next week? Um?

39
00:01:48,760 --> 00:01:51,440
Speaker 1: Why those are two separate things. I think that you're

40
00:01:51,440 --> 00:01:54,720
Speaker 1: always have to have the mindset of needing to improve. Um.

41
00:01:54,760 --> 00:01:56,080
Speaker 1: I wasn't happy with the way that I kind of

42
00:01:56,120 --> 00:01:58,000
Speaker 1: slowly oozed into that game. I thought that you gotta

43
00:01:58,040 --> 00:02:01,040
Speaker 1: come out fire and ready to go first up. UM,

44
00:02:01,080 --> 00:02:04,440
Speaker 1: I wasn't happy with, UM, you know, my preparation. I

45
00:02:04,480 --> 00:02:06,320
Speaker 1: think I need to do a better preparing for the

46
00:02:06,320 --> 00:02:09,880
Speaker 1: game coming up. And I think that, um, as is

47
00:02:10,040 --> 00:02:12,520
Speaker 1: every year, you've got to get yourself back in the

48
00:02:12,560 --> 00:02:17,119
Speaker 1: mindset of playing four quarters and um you're conditioning your footwork,

49
00:02:17,200 --> 00:02:20,000
Speaker 1: your fundamentals, all those sort of things. Just need to

50
00:02:20,040 --> 00:02:22,480
Speaker 1: continue to ratch it up as the season comes closer.

51
00:02:23,760 --> 00:02:25,520
Speaker 1: As part of that, just a new environment, new life.

52
00:02:25,520 --> 00:02:30,080
Speaker 1: We're trying to measure new guys here before basing something else. UM. Yeah,

53
00:02:30,080 --> 00:02:32,440
Speaker 1: I mean it's it's every years a new year. Um.

54
00:02:32,480 --> 00:02:35,440
Speaker 1: Every year that I've played, UM, there's been some different

55
00:02:35,480 --> 00:02:39,120
Speaker 1: person on the line with us and UM, so that's

56
00:02:39,160 --> 00:02:41,320
Speaker 1: really just a part of the game, part of the business.

57
00:02:41,360 --> 00:02:44,400
Speaker 1: So that's no different than any other year. Have you

58
00:02:44,400 --> 00:02:46,440
Speaker 1: always been like a like kind of a soul spot

59
00:02:46,440 --> 00:02:48,400
Speaker 1: I edit game then you kind of getting into and

60
00:02:48,480 --> 00:02:50,919
Speaker 1: move very long as a post stilled like as the

61
00:02:50,960 --> 00:02:53,440
Speaker 1: game still like you feel if you seas a bit

62
00:02:54,440 --> 00:02:57,000
Speaker 1: play with at the season in the world, you about

63
00:02:57,040 --> 00:02:59,600
Speaker 1: better better. So now you're saying that you will slogans

64
00:02:59,600 --> 00:03:03,440
Speaker 1: come at the cake it and I that's something well, Um.

65
00:03:03,680 --> 00:03:05,320
Speaker 1: I guess I could take that two different ways. But

66
00:03:05,440 --> 00:03:07,440
Speaker 1: one way I take it is that you always have

67
00:03:07,520 --> 00:03:10,800
Speaker 1: to constantly improve from week to week. So UM, I

68
00:03:10,880 --> 00:03:13,119
Speaker 1: have done that in the past. Where I've gotten I've

69
00:03:13,160 --> 00:03:15,200
Speaker 1: gotten better because you work at it and you try

70
00:03:15,280 --> 00:03:17,480
Speaker 1: hard every single week to improve on the things you

71
00:03:17,480 --> 00:03:20,640
Speaker 1: didn't do well and and uh and keep doing the

72
00:03:20,639 --> 00:03:22,680
Speaker 1: things you're doing well. And that's kind of my mentality

73
00:03:22,680 --> 00:03:29,600
Speaker 1: about everything, and show you'll be ready for Mathatricia. Um. Yeah, UM,

74
00:03:29,639 --> 00:03:31,519
Speaker 1: you know, Mapatrician is a great coach. I've had the

75
00:03:31,720 --> 00:03:35,960
Speaker 1: great opportunity to play against his defenses and practice for years,

76
00:03:36,000 --> 00:03:38,520
Speaker 1: and UM, I have the utmost respect for everything that

77
00:03:38,560 --> 00:03:40,720
Speaker 1: they do, and I'm looking forward to it. I think

78
00:03:40,720 --> 00:03:42,360
Speaker 1: that it will, um, you know, expose some of the

79
00:03:42,360 --> 00:03:43,800
Speaker 1: things we need to work on. It will show some

80
00:03:43,840 --> 00:03:46,520
Speaker 1: of the areas that we're strong in, and um that's

81
00:03:46,520 --> 00:03:48,720
Speaker 1: always good. It's a refining process that we all have

82
00:03:48,760 --> 00:03:50,680
Speaker 1: to go through. You have the book on you on

83
00:03:50,760 --> 00:03:53,960
Speaker 1: what to exploit. Uh. He knows me very well, and

84
00:03:53,960 --> 00:03:56,680
Speaker 1: I'm sure that if he was wanting to that he

85
00:03:56,680 --> 00:04:01,200
Speaker 1: would be able to do. None of us knew what

86
00:04:01,240 --> 00:04:03,280
Speaker 1: to expect in terms of how many snaps you guys

87
00:04:03,280 --> 00:04:06,880
Speaker 1: are gonna play this past week. An offensive line needs

88
00:04:06,880 --> 00:04:09,880
Speaker 1: time to jail. You played what thirteen full team whatever

89
00:04:09,960 --> 00:04:12,440
Speaker 1: those snaps in that game. Do you need to be

90
00:04:12,520 --> 00:04:14,840
Speaker 1: able to get more snaps as a line going forward

91
00:04:14,880 --> 00:04:18,839
Speaker 1: in these games? Or is the few enough? Um? I

92
00:04:18,880 --> 00:04:21,919
Speaker 1: don't make the decision on that, So, UM, are you

93
00:04:22,360 --> 00:04:25,560
Speaker 1: if you could? I'm not trying to get you trouble now,

94
00:04:25,560 --> 00:04:28,159
Speaker 1: you're not even getting any trouble. But UM, my whole

95
00:04:28,200 --> 00:04:30,680
Speaker 1: philosophy on that is, whatever the team team needs me

96
00:04:30,680 --> 00:04:32,160
Speaker 1: to do, I'm gonna do it. It's the entire game,

97
00:04:32,200 --> 00:04:33,800
Speaker 1: I'll be in the entire game. If it's a couple

98
00:04:33,839 --> 00:04:36,560
Speaker 1: of series, I'll be in a couple of series. So UM,

99
00:04:36,600 --> 00:04:38,120
Speaker 1: I like getting a lot of reps. I like having

100
00:04:38,120 --> 00:04:39,720
Speaker 1: a lot of reps in practice. We we do a

101
00:04:39,800 --> 00:04:42,080
Speaker 1: lot of that, and um, the more time we can

102
00:04:42,120 --> 00:04:44,279
Speaker 1: work together, the better that. So the way I see it,
