I got no question 486 00:20:17,640 --> 00:20:20,080 Speaker 3: about Avt having my back. You know, it's pretty much, 487 00:20:20,160 --> 00:20:22,480 Speaker 3: let's strap the helmets up and let's go man. You know, 488 00:20:23,240 --> 00:20:25,600 Speaker 3: And so when you create that atmosphere between the line, 489 00:20:25,600 --> 00:20:27,720 Speaker 3: and like I said, that's like the one position where 490 00:20:27,760 --> 00:20:29,320 Speaker 3: like we never get a sub. 491 00:20:29,480 --> 00:20:31,440 Speaker 2: We never you know, it's no, hey, coach, I'm tired. 492 00:20:31,520 --> 00:20:32,080 Speaker 2: Can I get out? 493 00:20:32,119 --> 00:20:34,360 Speaker 3: You know, we never get off the field. Like it's 494 00:20:34,400 --> 00:20:38,240 Speaker 3: five you know, it's five people that work consistently together. 495 00:20:38,320 --> 00:20:41,239 Speaker 3: So when you create that camaraderie in the offensive line, man, 496 00:20:41,240 --> 00:20:42,040 Speaker 3: it's a beautiful thing. 497 00:20:42,119 --> 00:20:42,280 Speaker 2: Man. 498 00:20:42,320 --> 00:20:43,960 Speaker 3: Like I said, it's that shoelace that go through that 499 00:20:44,000 --> 00:20:46,560 Speaker 3: sneaker that's flawless and goes through smooth. 500 00:20:46,800 --> 00:20:48,640 Speaker 1: What's the difference in blocking systems? 501 00:20:49,320 --> 00:20:49,520 Speaker 2: You know? 502 00:20:49,760 --> 00:20:51,520 Speaker 3: I think for me, I've been in a lot of systems, 503 00:20:51,520 --> 00:20:53,439 Speaker 3: so like you know, being in this West Coast offense. 504 00:20:53,480 --> 00:20:55,080 Speaker 3: You know, I had Sean mcvagh when I was in 505 00:20:55,440 --> 00:20:57,760 Speaker 3: when I was in Washington, so I'm. 506 00:20:57,720 --> 00:20:58,399 Speaker 2: Very versed in that. 507 00:20:58,960 --> 00:21:00,480 Speaker 3: But just being around the league, and I think the 508 00:21:00,520 --> 00:21:03,160 Speaker 3: thing about changing systems, right, it challenges you. It challenges 509 00:21:03,200 --> 00:21:06,600 Speaker 3: you mentally, physically and all those things, right, because like 510 00:21:06,800 --> 00:21:09,639 Speaker 3: it's another opportunity that I can learn more. And I 511 00:21:09,680 --> 00:21:11,560 Speaker 3: think the biggest thing is like having a quarterback like 512 00:21:11,560 --> 00:21:14,359 Speaker 3: Aaron Rodgers, that who sees the field so so well 513 00:21:14,800 --> 00:21:17,520 Speaker 3: and can change you know, whether it's cover zero, cover two, 514 00:21:17,560 --> 00:21:19,119 Speaker 3: cover three and we're in a run play and he 515 00:21:19,160 --> 00:21:22,240 Speaker 3: wants to get to, you know, a pass protection. For 516 00:21:22,320 --> 00:21:23,960 Speaker 3: him to be able to do that like that, it's 517 00:21:24,000 --> 00:21:25,920 Speaker 3: just like the mental aspect of like, Okay, I really 518 00:21:25,960 --> 00:21:27,960 Speaker 3: got to hone in on those things. I got to 519 00:21:28,040 --> 00:21:30,080 Speaker 3: learn his voice. I got to learn and start seeing 520 00:21:30,119 --> 00:21:32,960 Speaker 3: things that he sees. And I think when you when 521 00:21:33,000 --> 00:21:35,560 Speaker 3: you do that, it raises your IQ of football as well. 522 00:21:35,680 --> 00:21:37,280 Speaker 1: Can you speak to his football acumen? 523 00:21:37,560 --> 00:21:40,560 Speaker 2: Aaron, Dude, it's a dude. 524 00:21:40,600 --> 00:21:42,600 Speaker 3: It's I'm telling you, it's a It's a reason why 525 00:21:42,640 --> 00:21:44,200 Speaker 3: he's been in the league for so long and then 526 00:21:44,200 --> 00:21:47,040 Speaker 3: why he's been named with some of the greatest quarterbacks 527 00:21:47,080 --> 00:21:47,639 Speaker 3: in the league. 528 00:21:48,280 --> 00:21:49,880 Speaker 2: The makeup that he does every day. 529 00:21:49,880 --> 00:21:51,720 Speaker 3: Man, just like to see him go out there and 530 00:21:51,760 --> 00:21:54,560 Speaker 3: sling the ball around like he's ten years old, having 531 00:21:54,640 --> 00:21:57,199 Speaker 3: fun and still doing that and as a as an 532 00:21:57,359 --> 00:22:00,199 Speaker 3: older guy that's still trying to get to where he's at.

Right, That's the 699 00:29:20,440 --> 00:29:22,760 Speaker 3: beauty of football. Like, you know, you never know when 700 00:29:23,000 --> 00:29:24,480 Speaker 3: when a team is going to hit the hot streak, 701 00:29:24,560 --> 00:29:27,080 Speaker 3: So right now, you know, for us it's like being 702 00:29:27,120 --> 00:29:30,000 Speaker 3: able to learn each other on this roster, understand these 703 00:29:30,040 --> 00:29:33,400 Speaker 3: guys the strength and the weaknesses of your teammates, so 704 00:29:33,520 --> 00:29:36,320 Speaker 3: you can feel that voiding and that way when we 705 00:29:36,400 --> 00:29:40,600 Speaker 3: get out there September. You know against San Francisco is flawless, right, 706 00:29:41,000 --> 00:29:43,680 Speaker 3: and the game is never flawless, right, You're always gonna 707 00:29:43,680 --> 00:29:45,360 Speaker 3: make mistakes. But like, how can I learn from them 708 00:29:45,400 --> 00:29:47,600 Speaker 3: mistakes and not make those mistakes again? How can my 709 00:29:47,640 --> 00:29:51,720 Speaker 3: teammates keep me accountable? How does my coaches know I 710 00:29:52,520 --> 00:29:55,560 Speaker 3: take in information versus you know, being on the field 711 00:29:55,720 --> 00:29:57,960 Speaker 3: or in the study room. All those things are things 712 00:29:58,000 --> 00:30:00,120 Speaker 3: that you're learning right now. So when you get the 713 00:30:00,200 --> 00:30:02,920 Speaker 3: training camp, you can hit the ground running. So like 714 00:30:03,520 --> 00:30:05,000 Speaker 3: I don't want to get caught up in the paper 715 00:30:05,120 --> 00:30:07,480 Speaker 3: champ and of what the roster looks like.
