1
00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:01,880
Speaker 1: Um, we just gotta sustain our box and you know,

2
00:00:01,960 --> 00:00:05,359
Speaker 1: finished our box downfield and finish on our man um

3
00:00:05,480 --> 00:00:08,319
Speaker 1: a lot of time, you see, you know, guys, most

4
00:00:08,320 --> 00:00:09,800
Speaker 1: of the guys around their box, and it's just one

5
00:00:09,800 --> 00:00:11,680
Speaker 1: guy that makes a player, you know, one guy that

6
00:00:11,720 --> 00:00:13,920
Speaker 1: falls off the buck ends up making them play and

7
00:00:13,960 --> 00:00:16,599
Speaker 1: things like that. It's just you know, we just gotta sustained. Nick,

8
00:00:16,960 --> 00:00:22,000
Speaker 1: were you personally surprised at how badly yesterday's game went?

9
00:00:22,200 --> 00:00:24,560
Speaker 1: And how do you guys as a team as players

10
00:00:25,400 --> 00:00:28,920
Speaker 1: avoid like a here we go again reaction to a

11
00:00:28,960 --> 00:00:31,920
Speaker 1: game like that when you did feel like you've made

12
00:00:31,920 --> 00:00:34,400
Speaker 1: strides in week two over week one, and so this

13
00:00:34,560 --> 00:00:39,959
Speaker 1: just seemed to be, um, you know a different trajectory. Yeah,

14
00:00:40,040 --> 00:00:41,600
Speaker 1: I mean, we definitely didn't play the one way we

15
00:00:41,640 --> 00:00:45,080
Speaker 1: wanted to play. We didn't come out and we come

16
00:00:45,080 --> 00:00:47,040
Speaker 1: out and play the way. You know. We ain't run

17
00:00:47,080 --> 00:00:49,519
Speaker 1: the ball really well, we you know, protect really well.

18
00:00:49,560 --> 00:00:50,960
Speaker 1: We didn't pass them all really well. We didn't we

19
00:00:50,960 --> 00:00:53,279
Speaker 1: didn't do anything really well that game. I mean, you know,

20
00:00:53,320 --> 00:00:56,320
Speaker 1: it's you can easily point fingers here and there, but

21
00:00:56,360 --> 00:00:57,800
Speaker 1: you know, we're just gonna be onto the next game

22
00:00:57,800 --> 00:00:59,160
Speaker 1: and you gotta fox on the rams and you know,

23
00:00:59,160 --> 00:01:02,160
Speaker 1: try to leave down the ball, you know, try to

24
00:01:03,520 --> 00:01:05,920
Speaker 1: trying to say, try to look back on the mistakes

25
00:01:05,920 --> 00:01:07,640
Speaker 1: you didn't, not trying to make him again. There have

26
00:01:07,720 --> 00:01:12,040
Speaker 1: been times the last three years where when all else fails,

27
00:01:12,160 --> 00:01:14,720
Speaker 1: Steake Kwon just kind of bails everybody out with a

28
00:01:14,959 --> 00:01:18,600
Speaker 1: huge drawn or something like that. Without him, Are you

29
00:01:18,640 --> 00:01:21,720
Speaker 1: worried about what happens to this offense? Defense is kind

30
00:01:21,720 --> 00:01:25,000
Speaker 1: of you know, go all out to stop the past,

31
00:01:25,120 --> 00:01:27,520
Speaker 1: not fearing the run game with the way you guys

32
00:01:27,520 --> 00:01:30,720
Speaker 1: are running the ball right now, Um, I mean we've

33
00:01:30,760 --> 00:01:34,160
Speaker 1: got really good backs even after stake kan and I

34
00:01:34,160 --> 00:01:36,120
Speaker 1: mean I feel we we just gotta make holes for

35
00:01:36,319 --> 00:01:38,720
Speaker 1: you know, even their holes aren't there. You know, there's

36
00:01:38,760 --> 00:01:42,039
Speaker 1: still guys falling off blocks and still still guys you know,

37
00:01:42,120 --> 00:01:44,240
Speaker 1: making plays. So even if Stakekuan is in there, who

38
00:01:44,240 --> 00:01:46,080
Speaker 1: knows what would happened. So we just gotta you know,

39
00:01:46,440 --> 00:01:49,560
Speaker 1: as offense lineman's sustained and you know, finish what's the

40
00:01:49,720 --> 00:01:53,560
Speaker 1: right way to describe the offensive line? Meeting room right now?

41
00:01:53,560 --> 00:01:57,080
Speaker 1: And there are you guys disappointed? Are you encouraged? Are

42
00:01:57,120 --> 00:02:00,520
Speaker 1: you piste off? Like you her named Is that mean

43
00:02:00,560 --> 00:02:02,600
Speaker 1: you got there's some fiery guys in there? Are you

44
00:02:02,600 --> 00:02:05,080
Speaker 1: guys kissed off? Like? What's the right if I was

45
00:02:05,120 --> 00:02:08,120
Speaker 1: in that room, what's that? What's that temperature of it?

46
00:02:08,280 --> 00:02:12,919
Speaker 1: Um Uh? I mean we're all, yeah, we're piste off

47
00:02:12,960 --> 00:02:14,720
Speaker 1: where you know, we want to be better, Like we

48
00:02:14,960 --> 00:02:16,200
Speaker 1: don't want to go out there and lose, Like we

49
00:02:16,240 --> 00:02:18,079
Speaker 1: don't want to go out there and not run the ball.

50
00:02:18,120 --> 00:02:19,840
Speaker 1: Like we're not trying to go out there and you know,

51
00:02:19,919 --> 00:02:22,240
Speaker 1: play bad. Like we practice every week, we go to

52
00:02:22,280 --> 00:02:25,280
Speaker 1: work every week. I mean, we you put a lot

53
00:02:25,280 --> 00:02:26,720
Speaker 1: of effort and you know a lot of work into

54
00:02:27,040 --> 00:02:28,639
Speaker 1: you know, going out there and learn the defense, and

55
00:02:28,680 --> 00:02:30,800
Speaker 1: it just it is frustrating when you go out there

56
00:02:30,840 --> 00:02:32,440
Speaker 1: you can't run the ball and you can't back well,

57
00:02:32,520 --> 00:02:35,080
Speaker 1: and you know, it's just it's it's it's frustrating. What

58
00:02:35,120 --> 00:02:36,920
Speaker 1: would you have thought a few weeks ago if I said, hey,

59
00:02:36,919 --> 00:02:39,600
Speaker 1: you're rolling an average, you know, twelve point seven points

60
00:02:39,600 --> 00:02:41,640
Speaker 1: per game, you know, in the first few weeks. I mean,

61
00:02:41,639 --> 00:02:45,480
Speaker 1: you've got some big name offensive players and obviously you

62
00:02:45,480 --> 00:02:50,200
Speaker 1: guys have high expectations for yourself. But what's that been like? Um,

63
00:02:50,240 --> 00:02:53,440
Speaker 1: I mean, it's it's it's frustrating. I said, it's frustrating trying,

64
00:02:53,520 --> 00:02:55,080
Speaker 1: not not getting the ball in then zone, you know,

65
00:02:55,120 --> 00:02:57,760
Speaker 1: settling for three points and seat of sticks. You know,

66
00:02:57,800 --> 00:02:59,560
Speaker 1: when we get down there and in the Renzo, we

67
00:02:59,560 --> 00:03:01,480
Speaker 1: gotta score or I think, I forget what we were,

68
00:03:01,560 --> 00:03:03,360
Speaker 1: but we're not good enough in the red zone. I mean,

69
00:03:03,360 --> 00:03:05,000
Speaker 1: I don't think we got to the rend zone last game,

70
00:03:05,760 --> 00:03:07,720
Speaker 1: and you know, we we've got to be better. I mean,

71
00:03:07,760 --> 00:03:09,800
Speaker 1: it's it's frustrating. I wouldn't believe you you said we

72
00:03:09,880 --> 00:03:14,000
Speaker 1: were only gonna scored twelve points a game. So and

73
00:03:14,040 --> 00:03:17,040
Speaker 1: also you got Aaron Donald this week, right, I mean, what,

74
00:03:18,080 --> 00:03:20,440
Speaker 1: what's what's the thought process for you as a guy

75
00:03:20,639 --> 00:03:22,560
Speaker 1: who you know is a fairly new center to the

76
00:03:22,600 --> 00:03:25,840
Speaker 1: prospects of having to face that guy. All he's a

77
00:03:25,880 --> 00:03:28,280
Speaker 1: really good player. You know, the Rams are really good organization,

78
00:03:28,320 --> 00:03:29,720
Speaker 1: and they've got a good coach. I got, you don't

79
00:03:29,720 --> 00:03:32,519
Speaker 1: get a good defense, and you know, I haven't got

80
00:03:32,600 --> 00:03:34,280
Speaker 1: I even started watching film on him yet. But I

81
00:03:34,280 --> 00:03:35,840
Speaker 1: was gonna, you know, sit down after his zoom call

82
00:03:35,880 --> 00:03:38,160
Speaker 1: and starting, you know, make my notes and you know,

83
00:03:38,200 --> 00:03:40,040
Speaker 1: try to try to make a game plan in my

84
00:03:40,120 --> 00:03:41,880
Speaker 1: head and you know, talk to other office line and

85
00:03:42,200 --> 00:03:44,400
Speaker 1: what our plan is, you know, gonna go forward with

86
00:03:44,520 --> 00:03:46,840
Speaker 1: him and and things like that. So, I mean, he's

87
00:03:46,880 --> 00:03:48,440
Speaker 1: a really good player, and you know what's gonna It's

88
00:03:48,440 --> 00:03:50,720
Speaker 1: gonna take a lot of execution and you know a

89
00:03:50,800 --> 00:03:53,600
Speaker 1: lot of fundamentally and being fundamentally sounded. You know, when

90
00:03:53,600 --> 00:03:55,560
Speaker 1: this ball game comes Sunday, I was gonna ask you

91
00:03:55,600 --> 00:03:58,640
Speaker 1: about about Aaron to um. You know, he's he's such

92
00:03:58,680 --> 00:04:01,560
Speaker 1: a power there in the middle. Does any of the

93
00:04:01,800 --> 00:04:04,440
Speaker 1: skills that you had as a tackle going up against

94
00:04:04,560 --> 00:04:07,040
Speaker 1: edge rushers, does does that any of that translate against

95
00:04:07,080 --> 00:04:11,000
Speaker 1: him in the center? Um? I talked to Columbo, I said,

96
00:04:11,040 --> 00:04:13,280
Speaker 1: my lengthy. You know, a lot of centers you know,

97
00:04:13,320 --> 00:04:15,520
Speaker 1: haven't been able to play tappen before and things like that.

98
00:04:15,600 --> 00:04:17,560
Speaker 1: So you know, having length to be able to usual

99
00:04:17,640 --> 00:04:20,000
Speaker 1: length and not to use your length helps you things

100
00:04:20,000 --> 00:04:21,840
Speaker 1: like that. But you know, and Donald, you know, will

101
00:04:21,880 --> 00:04:24,159
Speaker 1: be the best player ever got up against imnna you know,

102
00:04:24,240 --> 00:04:25,720
Speaker 1: trying to take it snap by snap and try to

103
00:04:25,720 --> 00:04:27,920
Speaker 1: get a good game playing for him and see see

104
00:04:27,920 --> 00:04:32,560
Speaker 1: how it goes. Is that daunting exciting? How How do

105
00:04:32,560 --> 00:04:34,280
Speaker 1: you feel about going up against the best player we've

106
00:04:34,279 --> 00:04:36,640
Speaker 1: ever going up against it. I'm excited. I mean, it's

107
00:04:36,680 --> 00:04:38,600
Speaker 1: it's like going to go. It's good players. It makes

108
00:04:38,600 --> 00:04:40,600
Speaker 1: you better, it's easy. You know that. It teaches you

109
00:04:40,760 --> 00:04:42,640
Speaker 1: what you need to work on and what you what

110
00:04:42,760 --> 00:04:44,240
Speaker 1: you're good at, and things like that. I'm excited. I

111
00:04:44,279 --> 00:04:45,120
Speaker 1: think we're all excited.
