1 00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:01,400 Speaker 1: Jermaine, thanks for doing this. 2 00:00:01,440 --> 00:00:01,840 Speaker 2: How are you? 3 00:00:02,240 --> 00:00:04,200 Speaker 1: I'm great? How you doing good. 4 00:00:04,800 --> 00:00:08,560 Speaker 2: I'm not sure I've ever seen anyone more excited to 5 00:00:08,680 --> 00:00:11,520 Speaker 2: join the Giants, certainly not my seven years of doing this. 6 00:00:12,200 --> 00:00:16,760 Speaker 2: Why is that and especially given the context that they 7 00:00:16,760 --> 00:00:19,200 Speaker 2: haven't won very much in the last seven years. 8 00:00:19,520 --> 00:00:23,200 Speaker 3: Yeah, I think that for me, my excitement just comes 9 00:00:23,239 --> 00:00:26,239 Speaker 3: from this franchise as a whole. You know, I grew 10 00:00:26,280 --> 00:00:28,680 Speaker 3: up in Jersey when I moved from London, but also 11 00:00:28,760 --> 00:00:30,840 Speaker 3: the first team I ever watched I saw I play 12 00:00:30,880 --> 00:00:33,280 Speaker 3: football as the Giants, and you know that helme and 13 00:00:33,320 --> 00:00:36,240 Speaker 3: that uniform just sticks out to me, and there's no 14 00:00:36,800 --> 00:00:39,559 Speaker 3: across the world. So for me, coming here to this 15 00:00:39,600 --> 00:00:42,839 Speaker 3: franchise was always a dream. And I mean, you say 16 00:00:42,840 --> 00:00:45,280 Speaker 3: they haven't won that much, but I've watched them a 17 00:00:45,320 --> 00:00:48,600 Speaker 3: number of times and you know, who knows, maybe like 18 00:00:48,720 --> 00:00:51,279 Speaker 3: I'm the missing piece from just helping them get towards that. 19 00:00:51,400 --> 00:00:54,680 Speaker 3: My goal here is to help them win and you know, 20 00:00:54,800 --> 00:00:56,760 Speaker 3: be on the offensive line and protect Daniel and open 21 00:00:56,840 --> 00:00:58,480 Speaker 3: up holes for the running backs and you know that 22 00:00:58,600 --> 00:01:00,840 Speaker 3: the receivers catch the balls down and you know, do 23 00:01:00,920 --> 00:01:03,080 Speaker 3: my job. At the end of the day, I'm here 24 00:01:03,080 --> 00:01:05,000 Speaker 3: to do my job and to help this team win 25 00:01:05,280 --> 00:01:07,800 Speaker 3: and add on to the culture, because I feel like 26 00:01:07,800 --> 00:01:09,679 Speaker 3: they have a really a colture here with Dabon and 27 00:01:10,600 --> 00:01:14,640 Speaker 3: Mike Kafka. Mike Kefka, right, yeah, Mike Kefka is OC 28 00:01:15,319 --> 00:01:17,640 Speaker 3: and so you know, I'm really excited to be here. 29 00:01:17,959 --> 00:01:22,160 Speaker 3: I think that this team's really up on the up 30 00:01:22,160 --> 00:01:25,000 Speaker 3: and up, and like I said, I'm really excited to 31 00:01:25,040 --> 00:01:25,800 Speaker 3: play a part in that. 32 00:01:26,640 --> 00:01:29,920 Speaker 2: So you grew up here, so you know this, or 33 00:01:29,920 --> 00:01:31,319 Speaker 2: at least you went to high school here, so you 34 00:01:31,319 --> 00:01:34,640 Speaker 2: know this. Some some places offensive linemen kind of fly 35 00:01:34,840 --> 00:01:38,560 Speaker 2: under the radar. That definitely is not the case with 36 00:01:38,680 --> 00:01:41,160 Speaker 2: the Giants. We pay an incredible amount of attention to 37 00:01:41,200 --> 00:01:44,360 Speaker 2: the offensive line in good times and bad. How do 38 00:01:44,400 --> 00:01:47,400 Speaker 2: you feel about kind of that spotlight and the pressure 39 00:01:47,400 --> 00:01:50,080 Speaker 2: that comes with trying to rebuild an offensive line that 40 00:01:50,080 --> 00:01:51,800 Speaker 2: gave up eighty five sacks last year? 41 00:01:52,440 --> 00:01:54,720 Speaker 1: I mean, sure, I love the pressure. I feel like 42 00:01:55,560 --> 00:01:56,440 Speaker 1: I thrive under that. 43 00:01:56,680 --> 00:02:00,200 Speaker 3: And you know, playing tackle in the NFL, that's you're 44 00:02:00,200 --> 00:02:02,840 Speaker 3: already under a bunch of pressure because you can have 45 00:02:02,880 --> 00:02:05,080 Speaker 3: sixty good plays, but if you have the one bad play, 46 00:02:05,200 --> 00:02:07,240 Speaker 3: that's all everyone's going to talk about. And you know, 47 00:02:07,240 --> 00:02:09,200 Speaker 3: I have to deal with that this year where you know, 48 00:02:09,240 --> 00:02:11,560 Speaker 3: I'd have really good games, but then that one play 49 00:02:11,639 --> 00:02:14,400 Speaker 3: that's all everyone will talk about. But it like how 50 00:02:14,440 --> 00:02:17,119 Speaker 3: you recover from that and how you play the next 51 00:02:17,160 --> 00:02:19,920 Speaker 3: week is really all that matters in my opinion. You know, 52 00:02:20,080 --> 00:02:22,639 Speaker 3: the Giants, I know that all the eyes are on you, 53 00:02:22,680 --> 00:02:23,960 Speaker 3: and you know everyone talks about. 54 00:02:23,760 --> 00:02:25,120 Speaker 1: The New York Giants and the Dallas Cowboys. 55 00:02:25,120 --> 00:02:26,760 Speaker 3: I feel like those are two most talked about teams 56 00:02:26,760 --> 00:02:29,280 Speaker 3: in the NFL, and so being an offensive lineman here, 57 00:02:29,320 --> 00:02:32,400 Speaker 3: I'm I'm really excited for the opportunity and the challenge 58 00:02:32,400 --> 00:02:35,000 Speaker 3: of that also, and you know, to get out there 59 00:02:35,000 --> 00:02:36,840 Speaker 3: against all the great defense we're going to play against 60 00:02:36,840 --> 00:02:38,560 Speaker 3: this year and the great a Liones we're gonna play against, 61 00:02:38,919 --> 00:02:41,160 Speaker 3: and I love the challenge. If I'm being honest with you, 62 00:02:41,200 --> 00:02:42,720 Speaker 3: I think that you can watch me on film and 63 00:02:42,760 --> 00:02:45,399 Speaker 3: see how I do under pressure, because I've been under 64 00:02:45,400 --> 00:02:48,440 Speaker 3: pressure a lot my career, especially coming from where I've 65 00:02:48,440 --> 00:02:50,799 Speaker 3: come from to you know, go from there to where 66 00:02:50,800 --> 00:02:53,079 Speaker 3: I'm at right now, and to be at this point 67 00:02:53,080 --> 00:02:55,120 Speaker 3: in my career where i feel like I'm finally hitting 68 00:02:55,120 --> 00:02:58,040 Speaker 3: my stride, I'm really excited for that, just to play 69 00:02:58,040 --> 00:02:59,840 Speaker 3: my role on this team and help the guys around 70 00:02:59,840 --> 00:03:02,520 Speaker 3: me get better and be that vet presence for them 71 00:03:02,520 --> 00:03:03,840 Speaker 3: because you know, I'm only twenty. 72 00:03:03,720 --> 00:03:04,360 Speaker 1: Nine years old. 73 00:03:04,919 --> 00:03:06,560 Speaker 3: I think I'm the van of the room, which sucks, 74 00:03:06,600 --> 00:03:08,959 Speaker 3: you know, because I'm like, I'm still a young guy too. 75 00:03:09,040 --> 00:03:11,800 Speaker 3: But I'm really excited to you know, me a teammate, 76 00:03:12,040 --> 00:03:16,400 Speaker 3: me Evan meet JMS, meet running and I feel like, 77 00:03:16,600 --> 00:03:18,280 Speaker 3: you know, there's a lot of talent there and a 78 00:03:18,280 --> 00:03:20,760 Speaker 3: lot of potential, and like I said, I hope I 79 00:03:20,800 --> 00:03:22,960 Speaker 3: can be, you know, just one of the people that 80 00:03:23,040 --> 00:03:26,560 Speaker 3: helps uplift everyone and you know, help everyone reach that potential. 81 00:03:26,600 --> 00:03:27,760 Speaker 3: And there's a lot of guys in every room are 82 00:03:27,760 --> 00:03:30,200 Speaker 3: already reach that potential, but they can still play at 83 00:03:30,240 --> 00:03:33,880 Speaker 3: even higher level. I never I'm one to believe that, 84 00:03:34,240 --> 00:03:36,800 Speaker 3: you know, you can always be better than you already are, 85 00:03:37,160 --> 00:03:39,880 Speaker 3: and so you know, I'm gonna help bring that to 86 00:03:39,920 --> 00:03:41,960 Speaker 3: the whole line room. Just bring the positivity and bring 87 00:03:42,000 --> 00:03:44,440 Speaker 3: the energy and you know, hopefully that translates to the 88 00:03:44,440 --> 00:03:46,280 Speaker 3: field and we're gonna work hard, you know, I know, 89 00:03:46,360 --> 00:03:49,440 Speaker 3: Car's gonna work us and push us, and I'm just 90 00:03:49,480 --> 00:03:50,600 Speaker 3: really excited for the challenge. 91 00:03:51,280 --> 00:03:54,640 Speaker 1: Thank you, no problem. 92 00:03:53,920 --> 00:03:59,080 Speaker 3: At Valentine Adjermaine, Welcome to Welcome to the Giants. 93 00:03:59,400 --> 00:04:01,640 Speaker 1: Appreciate it. You mentioned. 94 00:04:04,200 --> 00:04:06,480 Speaker 4: Do you have an idea you know, what you expect 95 00:04:06,480 --> 00:04:08,600 Speaker 4: your role to be at this point or haven't you 96 00:04:08,600 --> 00:04:09,360 Speaker 4: gotten there yet? 97 00:04:09,440 --> 00:04:11,520 Speaker 3: Now that that's one thing that's helped me get to 98 00:04:11,680 --> 00:04:14,000 Speaker 3: this position right now is my versatility. You know, I've 99 00:04:14,000 --> 00:04:17,839 Speaker 3: played left tackle, left guard, right guard, right tackle. You 100 00:04:17,839 --> 00:04:21,599 Speaker 3: know we have a really good right left tackle. You know, 101 00:04:21,680 --> 00:04:23,599 Speaker 3: Evan nil is a really good player. In my opinion, 102 00:04:23,640 --> 00:04:26,240 Speaker 3: I think he has a lot of potential. I'm really 103 00:04:26,279 --> 00:04:29,480 Speaker 3: excited to play with Runyon and James. So you know, 104 00:04:29,520 --> 00:04:31,560 Speaker 3: I play wherever I'm needed. That's my thing, and I 105 00:04:31,600 --> 00:04:33,120 Speaker 3: feel like that's what's helped me stand in the league 106 00:04:33,160 --> 00:04:34,719 Speaker 3: this long, and like I said, get the position that 107 00:04:35,080 --> 00:04:37,640 Speaker 3: I'm just really versatile. So wherever I'm needed and wherever 108 00:04:37,680 --> 00:04:39,120 Speaker 3: helps his team wins, where I'm going to be. 109 00:04:40,279 --> 00:04:42,480 Speaker 4: And you know, with you know, Ryan kind of hated 110 00:04:42,560 --> 00:04:45,720 Speaker 4: at it a little bit. The Giants offensive line has 111 00:04:45,800 --> 00:04:48,320 Speaker 4: been kind of a sore point, you know, for for 112 00:04:48,400 --> 00:04:52,160 Speaker 4: a number of years. Here in your mind, you know, 113 00:04:52,240 --> 00:04:55,240 Speaker 4: what does it take to make a good offensive line 114 00:04:55,400 --> 00:04:56,479 Speaker 4: and how can you help that. 115 00:04:56,920 --> 00:05:00,760 Speaker 3: I think it takes hard work, determination and and just grit. 116 00:05:01,040 --> 00:05:02,240 Speaker 3: You have to be able to put your hand in 117 00:05:02,279 --> 00:05:03,880 Speaker 3: the dirt and just hit someone in the mouth and 118 00:05:04,240 --> 00:05:05,920 Speaker 3: you know, come back and do it again and again 119 00:05:06,000 --> 00:05:09,040 Speaker 3: and again and again and again. And you know, no 120 00:05:09,080 --> 00:05:11,440 Speaker 3: offensive line is perfect. The best tacks in the league, 121 00:05:11,480 --> 00:05:13,960 Speaker 3: in my opinion, I think eight is one. I think 122 00:05:14,080 --> 00:05:16,920 Speaker 3: Lane's another Penny Trent. You can watch the film and 123 00:05:16,920 --> 00:05:18,480 Speaker 3: there's always gonna be that one play where they could 124 00:05:18,480 --> 00:05:22,240 Speaker 3: have did better. No one's perfect, and no one's gonna 125 00:05:22,240 --> 00:05:24,160 Speaker 3: play a perfect game. It's not like you're gonna you know, 126 00:05:24,240 --> 00:05:26,000 Speaker 3: it's not like you're a basi player. You're gonna strike 127 00:05:26,040 --> 00:05:28,720 Speaker 3: out for eighth straight innings. That's I don't think that's 128 00:05:28,760 --> 00:05:30,640 Speaker 3: possible as offensive line, And you're always gonna have that 129 00:05:30,680 --> 00:05:32,240 Speaker 3: one play where you know you could have done better, 130 00:05:32,720 --> 00:05:37,160 Speaker 3: and so you have to have the mentality off next play, 131 00:05:37,200 --> 00:05:39,839 Speaker 3: it's next play, next play, next play. And I think 132 00:05:39,880 --> 00:05:41,800 Speaker 3: that when you have that top of mentality, but then 133 00:05:41,839 --> 00:05:44,839 Speaker 3: also you are determined, then you know what's gonna like, 134 00:05:44,880 --> 00:05:47,039 Speaker 3: you know what's coming. You prepared the entire week for 135 00:05:47,080 --> 00:05:49,279 Speaker 3: that one game, for that one play where you know 136 00:05:49,320 --> 00:05:53,680 Speaker 3: they're gonna give you their everything, and when you stop that, 137 00:05:53,680 --> 00:05:55,640 Speaker 3: that's when you can become a really good offensive line. 138 00:05:55,680 --> 00:05:58,640 Speaker 3: To anticipate what they're gonna do and stop that, because 139 00:05:58,640 --> 00:06:00,440 Speaker 3: once you do that, then you're in their head. And 140 00:06:00,480 --> 00:06:01,760 Speaker 3: once you're in the head, you can do whatever you 141 00:06:01,760 --> 00:06:03,479 Speaker 3: want your in the game. And so that's the way 142 00:06:03,520 --> 00:06:05,760 Speaker 3: I think. And I'm really excited to get around the 143 00:06:05,760 --> 00:06:07,400 Speaker 3: guys in the offensive live room because if I can 144 00:06:07,440 --> 00:06:10,840 Speaker 3: just be that presence for them and just you know, 145 00:06:11,160 --> 00:06:13,440 Speaker 3: be a leader and just add on to what they're 146 00:06:13,440 --> 00:06:15,880 Speaker 3: already doing, I think that we have the potential to 147 00:06:15,920 --> 00:06:18,080 Speaker 3: be a really good offensive line. And you know, like 148 00:06:18,080 --> 00:06:20,120 Speaker 3: you said, I'm sure they've come under scrutiny for the 149 00:06:20,120 --> 00:06:22,520 Speaker 3: plus couple of years. But I like running I think 150 00:06:22,520 --> 00:06:24,520 Speaker 3: he's a really good player. Like I said, Evan Neille 151 00:06:24,520 --> 00:06:26,200 Speaker 3: has a ton of potential, and I'm really excited to 152 00:06:26,200 --> 00:06:28,840 Speaker 3: get around him. Jams was a rookie last year, and 153 00:06:28,960 --> 00:06:30,440 Speaker 3: it's hard to play in this league as a rookie 154 00:06:30,440 --> 00:06:32,800 Speaker 3: because I remember my rookie year. I sucked, if I'm 155 00:06:32,839 --> 00:06:36,760 Speaker 3: being honest with you, And so, you know, getting thrown 156 00:06:36,800 --> 00:06:40,280 Speaker 3: into the fire as a rookie, as a center. That's 157 00:06:40,360 --> 00:06:42,960 Speaker 3: freaking impressive. And then at I mean he's a pro 158 00:06:43,040 --> 00:06:44,599 Speaker 3: bowl or pro. He just needs to keep doing what 159 00:06:44,640 --> 00:06:46,279 Speaker 3: he's doing. So, like I said, I just want to 160 00:06:46,279 --> 00:06:48,720 Speaker 3: be I want to you know, mesh into the group 161 00:06:48,800 --> 00:06:50,920 Speaker 3: and just add on to whatever they're doing and just 162 00:06:51,160 --> 00:06:53,479 Speaker 3: you know, like I said, be that positive person and 163 00:06:53,720 --> 00:06:55,839 Speaker 3: bring the energy and just be a leader in that 164 00:06:55,920 --> 00:06:57,920 Speaker 3: room and just continue to add on to what we're 165 00:06:57,920 --> 00:06:58,960 Speaker 3: doing and just keep improving. 166 00:07:00,080 --> 00:07:10,920 Speaker 1: Thank you, Art Adermaine, welcome, appreciate it. 167 00:07:12,120 --> 00:07:16,200 Speaker 5: Uh you mentioned Carm before.

And I think that's 252 00:10:38,840 --> 00:10:40,599 Speaker 3: the same thing as offensive lineman. You have to be 253 00:10:40,679 --> 00:10:43,160 Speaker 3: able to give everything you have every single day. You 254 00:10:43,200 --> 00:10:45,199 Speaker 3: know some days are gonna suck you know, some days 255 00:10:45,240 --> 00:10:48,400 Speaker 3: you're gonna wake up soar beat up. You know, can't 256 00:10:48,440 --> 00:10:51,160 Speaker 3: really walk great, your ankles swallow, your knee swalling, your 257 00:10:51,200 --> 00:10:53,439 Speaker 3: hands hurt, your fingers are all messed up. But you 258 00:10:53,520 --> 00:10:55,920 Speaker 3: gotta have that dog inside of you to be like, alright, look, 259 00:10:56,200 --> 00:10:58,160 Speaker 3: you know day's probably gonna suck, but I'm gonna give 260 00:10:58,160 --> 00:11:00,240 Speaker 3: everything I have And if I do that, then and 261 00:11:00,320 --> 00:11:02,320 Speaker 3: I got better. You know, I'm a true believer in 262 00:11:02,320 --> 00:11:04,320 Speaker 3: getting one percent better every single day. And that's something 263 00:11:04,360 --> 00:11:06,960 Speaker 3: Calm preaches as well, getting one per cent better. You know, 264 00:11:07,000 --> 00:11:09,320 Speaker 3: what can you do today to make yourself better than 265 00:11:09,360 --> 00:11:12,640 Speaker 3: you was yesterday? And I'm a firm believer in that. 266 00:11:13,080 --> 00:11:16,960 Speaker 3: And so, you know, having that mentality is a big 267 00:11:16,960 --> 00:11:19,320 Speaker 3: part of being offensive lineman. You can ask any offensive 268 00:11:19,360 --> 00:11:21,560 Speaker 3: line in the NFL, how do you feel like? Do 269 00:11:21,559 --> 00:11:23,640 Speaker 3: you feel one hundred percent every single day? And some 270 00:11:23,640 --> 00:11:24,920 Speaker 3: of them are gonna say they haven't been one hundred 271 00:11:24,920 --> 00:11:27,280 Speaker 3: percent since the rookie year. Shoot, it's hard to find 272 00:11:27,320 --> 00:11:29,200 Speaker 3: a player in the NFL right now that gives everything 273 00:11:29,240 --> 00:11:32,040 Speaker 3: they have and alsome if they're one hundred percent, I 274 00:11:32,120 --> 00:11:33,400 Speaker 3: bet you a lot of them will say no. 275 00:11:34,120 --> 00:11:35,960 Speaker 1: And so as a offensive Lineman. 276 00:11:36,000 --> 00:11:39,439 Speaker 3: You have to find that place where you're comfortable at 277 00:11:39,440 --> 00:11:42,320 Speaker 3: being uncomfortable. That's the biggest thing in my opinion, because 278 00:11:42,320 --> 00:11:44,480 Speaker 3: you're never ever gonna be comfortable. There's always gonna be 279 00:11:44,960 --> 00:11:47,240 Speaker 3: someone out there that's, you know, gunning for your position. 280 00:11:47,280 --> 00:11:49,520 Speaker 3: There's always gonna be that defensive lineman out there that's 281 00:11:49,880 --> 00:11:50,760 Speaker 3: the next big thing. 282 00:11:51,160 --> 00:11:51,320 Speaker 1: You know. 283 00:11:51,360 --> 00:11:55,320 Speaker 3: The NFL is hyping him up. He is a monster, 284 00:11:55,440 --> 00:11:57,760 Speaker 3: he's this, he's that. But you gotta find that place 285 00:11:57,800 --> 00:11:59,240 Speaker 3: within you where you're gonna go out there and lock 286 00:11:59,320 --> 00:12:01,080 Speaker 3: him up, where you're going to dominate him. And then 287 00:12:01,080 --> 00:12:02,719 Speaker 3: everyone's gonna be talking about you or talking about the 288 00:12:02,760 --> 00:12:04,160 Speaker 3: next guy, and you go out there agetting blocked the 289 00:12:04,160 --> 00:12:06,839 Speaker 3: next guy, and it just keep going in. So that's 290 00:12:07,000 --> 00:12:09,760 Speaker 3: my mentality, is offensive lineman, the next play once sent 291 00:12:09,880 --> 00:12:12,239 Speaker 3: better every single day, and just be comfortable being uncomfortable. 292 00:12:13,840 --> 00:12:16,600 Speaker 7: I'm sorry that this is something I should know. Could 293 00:12:16,600 --> 00:12:18,680 Speaker 7: you please tell me how to pronounce your last name 294 00:12:19,120 --> 00:12:23,800 Speaker 7: illumin or illumina or do I have a pretty close No. 295 00:12:23,880 --> 00:12:25,200 Speaker 1: That's perfect if you. 296 00:12:25,520 --> 00:12:27,720 Speaker 3: I mean I tell people just like really enunciate the east, 297 00:12:27,720 --> 00:12:30,800 Speaker 3: so it's like illuminor illuminor. 298 00:12:30,280 --> 00:12:34,600 Speaker 7: Okay, maybe Jones, so I get it easy, like to make. 299 00:12:34,480 --> 00:12:34,880 Speaker 2: Sure I know. 300 00:12:35,040 --> 00:12:35,800 Speaker 6: Thank you so much. 301 00:12:35,920 --> 00:12:36,640 Speaker 1: I appreciate you. 302 00:12:37,960 --> 00:12:41,000 Speaker 6: Patty Trena, Hey, Jermaine, how are you doing. 303 00:12:41,080 --> 00:12:42,200 Speaker 1: I'm doing great.

Obviously you've had growth 310 00:12:57,080 --> 00:12:59,840 Speaker 6: every year in the league, but what specifically has Carmen 311 00:13:00,120 --> 00:13:02,160 Speaker 6: done to kind of get you to the level that 312 00:13:02,200 --> 00:13:02,760 Speaker 6: you're at now. 313 00:13:02,920 --> 00:13:05,320 Speaker 3: Yeah, Well, I met Karm my first year in New 314 00:13:05,360 --> 00:13:07,200 Speaker 3: England and it was actually his first year too, he 315 00:13:07,200 --> 00:13:12,160 Speaker 3: got hired from Youngtown State, and so me and Karm 316 00:13:12,320 --> 00:13:14,679 Speaker 3: have really grown together in the league if you really 317 00:13:14,679 --> 00:13:15,080 Speaker 3: look at it. 318 00:13:15,080 --> 00:13:15,800 Speaker 1: Every single year. 319 00:13:16,040 --> 00:13:19,400 Speaker 3: Though I've only not been with karm for one year 320 00:13:19,440 --> 00:13:22,160 Speaker 3: of my career, which is when I got to Vegas 321 00:13:22,200 --> 00:13:25,720 Speaker 3: with John Ruden, and so me and karm my progression 322 00:13:25,760 --> 00:13:27,360 Speaker 3: has been similar to him as a coach me as 323 00:13:27,360 --> 00:13:29,600 Speaker 3: a player, And it's just having that trust in him 324 00:13:29,640 --> 00:13:31,840 Speaker 3: and that belief that if I give him everything I have, 325 00:13:31,920 --> 00:13:34,160 Speaker 3: he's gonna give me everything he has, and he's gonna 326 00:13:34,160 --> 00:13:36,400 Speaker 3: coach me hard, but he's gonna love me harder. And 327 00:13:36,440 --> 00:13:38,199 Speaker 3: I'm gonna I'm go'a go out there and do everything 328 00:13:38,240 --> 00:13:40,600 Speaker 3: I can to just show how good of a coach 329 00:13:40,679 --> 00:13:43,520 Speaker 3: Karm is. And I think that Karm has gotten a 330 00:13:43,520 --> 00:13:45,040 Speaker 3: lot better as a coach over the last couple of 331 00:13:45,080 --> 00:13:47,080 Speaker 3: years because he's really started to believe in himself and 332 00:13:47,360 --> 00:13:49,760 Speaker 3: know that he's a talented coach and he can really 333 00:13:49,760 --> 00:13:52,160 Speaker 3: coach people and help them improve their game. And I 334 00:13:52,160 --> 00:13:54,240 Speaker 3: think you see that with the offensive lines. So we've 335 00:13:54,240 --> 00:13:56,679 Speaker 3: had in Las Vegas. You know, we haven't had the 336 00:13:56,720 --> 00:13:58,840 Speaker 3: best record, but if you really look at the offensive line, 337 00:13:58,880 --> 00:14:01,120 Speaker 3: we've been pretty damn dominant. And that's because of Karm's 338 00:14:01,160 --> 00:14:03,640 Speaker 3: teaching and then also our love of the game.
