1
00:00:01,360 --> 00:00:08,680
Speaker 1: First question, Eric Davide, how's it going on today? Good?

2
00:00:08,720 --> 00:00:11,119
Speaker 1: How are we doing June? All right? Hey, I'm wondering what,

3
00:00:11,440 --> 00:00:15,680
Speaker 1: um is it weird for you at all working with

4
00:00:15,720 --> 00:00:18,640
Speaker 1: a quarterback that's not Tom Brady because that's kind of

5
00:00:18,640 --> 00:00:20,800
Speaker 1: what you've worked for your whole career, your whole career.

6
00:00:21,520 --> 00:00:24,440
Speaker 1: I mean no, I mean, uh, you know, We've always

7
00:00:24,440 --> 00:00:27,040
Speaker 1: had multiple quarterbacks on the roster, so I'm always working

8
00:00:27,040 --> 00:00:30,400
Speaker 1: with different quarterbacks, um, you know, and so that's not

9
00:00:30,440 --> 00:00:32,040
Speaker 1: really anything new, you know. I mean it's kind of

10
00:00:32,080 --> 00:00:36,360
Speaker 1: been Jimmy Garoppolo, jacobat, Brian Boy or Danny Yetley. You know,

11
00:00:36,960 --> 00:00:39,959
Speaker 1: UM list goes on stid Uh you know, so UM

12
00:00:40,080 --> 00:00:42,760
Speaker 1: list goes on and on. So, uh, always worked with

13
00:00:42,760 --> 00:00:46,080
Speaker 1: different quarterbacks, you know, It's never just been one guy. Uh,

14
00:00:46,440 --> 00:00:49,320
Speaker 1: you know, because obviously things happen, people get hurt, and

15
00:00:49,640 --> 00:00:54,520
Speaker 1: you can't just play with one guy. Is there is

16
00:00:54,560 --> 00:00:57,000
Speaker 1: there any what are the differences that you can kind

17
00:00:57,000 --> 00:00:59,680
Speaker 1: of maybe clap clear up with the cadences and stuff

18
00:00:59,720 --> 00:01:02,720
Speaker 1: like that when you are working with someone new. Well,

19
00:01:02,800 --> 00:01:04,399
Speaker 1: you know, we have a system and we operate in

20
00:01:04,400 --> 00:01:06,920
Speaker 1: our system and that's kind of what we do, you know. Uh,

21
00:01:07,440 --> 00:01:09,600
Speaker 1: you know, we're all trying to get the wrinkles out

22
00:01:09,600 --> 00:01:11,680
Speaker 1: here and get better each day. Um, you know, but

23
00:01:11,720 --> 00:01:13,960
Speaker 1: we have a system and that's how we operate. And

24
00:01:14,560 --> 00:01:16,720
Speaker 1: you know that's uh, you know what the coach is installed,

25
00:01:16,720 --> 00:01:18,360
Speaker 1: and that's just as players will. We have to go

26
00:01:18,400 --> 00:01:26,880
Speaker 1: out there and execute. Thank you. I don't see any

27
00:01:26,920 --> 00:01:33,679
Speaker 1: hands raise right now, so if you have agree in yeah,

28
00:01:33,720 --> 00:01:37,600
Speaker 1: somehow I couldn't raise my hand, but that that got

29
00:01:37,640 --> 00:01:41,800
Speaker 1: the job done. How you doing? Hey care? I was

30
00:01:41,840 --> 00:01:46,959
Speaker 1: just wondering, um, how things were coming along chemistry wise

31
00:01:47,160 --> 00:01:51,160
Speaker 1: with the line. Obviously most of you have played together

32
00:01:51,560 --> 00:01:55,080
Speaker 1: and have an idea about each other, but you're trying

33
00:01:55,080 --> 00:01:57,680
Speaker 1: to kind of break in a right tackle. So I

34
00:01:57,760 --> 00:02:00,720
Speaker 1: just wondering how that process. How you felt the process

35
00:02:00,880 --> 00:02:03,160
Speaker 1: was going. Well, you know, I think you stay. We

36
00:02:03,200 --> 00:02:06,560
Speaker 1: try to go out there, you know, usually stay. There's

37
00:02:06,600 --> 00:02:09,280
Speaker 1: kind of an emphasis, um you know that we kind

38
00:02:09,320 --> 00:02:10,760
Speaker 1: of build on. So we try to go out there

39
00:02:10,760 --> 00:02:14,320
Speaker 1: each day, focus on that emphasis. Um, you know, correct

40
00:02:14,360 --> 00:02:17,200
Speaker 1: stakes from the day before, whatever it may be. Um,

41
00:02:17,600 --> 00:02:19,880
Speaker 1: you know, and just try to ability to stay. Um.

42
00:02:19,919 --> 00:02:21,160
Speaker 1: You know, we still got a lot of work to

43
00:02:21,160 --> 00:02:23,440
Speaker 1: do in front of us. Uh, you know, I'm proud

44
00:02:23,480 --> 00:02:24,880
Speaker 1: of the way the guys are working. I think we're

45
00:02:24,880 --> 00:02:27,880
Speaker 1: working really hard, and you know there's obviously bumps and bruises,

46
00:02:27,960 --> 00:02:30,840
Speaker 1: right like, there's gonna be learning things, and um, you know,

47
00:02:30,880 --> 00:02:33,080
Speaker 1: I think there's two ways you can look at mistakes.

48
00:02:33,120 --> 00:02:35,400
Speaker 1: You can look at a mistake and get all down

49
00:02:35,400 --> 00:02:37,760
Speaker 1: and negative, or look at it as a learning experience.

50
00:02:37,840 --> 00:02:39,840
Speaker 1: Right all right, So we messed up. You never want

51
00:02:39,840 --> 00:02:42,400
Speaker 1: to mess up, But let's turn that, you know, mistake

52
00:02:42,440 --> 00:02:46,120
Speaker 1: into something positive where we learn from it and move forward, Uh,

53
00:02:46,160 --> 00:02:48,320
Speaker 1: you know, correct it. And I think you can use

54
00:02:48,360 --> 00:02:52,880
Speaker 1: all those things, you know as a learning experience to

55
00:02:52,960 --> 00:02:56,520
Speaker 1: really help you um, you know, instead of you know,

56
00:02:57,000 --> 00:02:59,679
Speaker 1: you know, getting down and negative. Um you know, we

57
00:02:59,800 --> 00:03:01,680
Speaker 1: really it can take those things and move forward and

58
00:03:01,720 --> 00:03:04,360
Speaker 1: take some really big steps, you know, especially going against

59
00:03:04,400 --> 00:03:06,400
Speaker 1: our defense every day. Um, you know, they got a

60
00:03:06,440 --> 00:03:09,160
Speaker 1: lot of good players and a good scheme. If I

61
00:03:09,280 --> 00:03:12,200
Speaker 1: just a quick follow Dave, I was just wondering how

62
00:03:12,240 --> 00:03:15,360
Speaker 1: the transition has gone in your mind to the two

63
00:03:15,400 --> 00:03:20,720
Speaker 1: new coaches coming in for Dante. Yeah, you know, um

64
00:03:21,440 --> 00:03:22,960
Speaker 1: you know, I think we've done a great job of

65
00:03:23,440 --> 00:03:27,160
Speaker 1: you know, uh, you know, just coming to work each day, Um,

66
00:03:27,600 --> 00:03:29,600
Speaker 1: you know, I think it's something that you know, I've

67
00:03:29,639 --> 00:03:33,600
Speaker 1: experienced once in my career, going from uh coach Gouges

68
00:03:33,680 --> 00:03:36,320
Speaker 1: to scar my first year. So that's just part of

69
00:03:36,360 --> 00:03:39,360
Speaker 1: this business. Coaches retire, Coaches move on, you know, just

70
00:03:39,440 --> 00:03:41,960
Speaker 1: like players, and it's just part of this business. You

71
00:03:42,000 --> 00:03:43,960
Speaker 1: know in the NFL that you learned very quickly as

72
00:03:43,960 --> 00:03:46,320
Speaker 1: a player. Um, you know, so it's just something you

73
00:03:46,360 --> 00:03:48,880
Speaker 1: get used to and uh, you know, something you just

74
00:03:49,040 --> 00:03:52,600
Speaker 1: take and move forward and just go to work each day. Okay,

75
00:03:52,600 --> 00:03:57,520
Speaker 1: thanks David, Thank you, Anne. Absolutely, Eric. Did you have

76
00:03:57,560 --> 00:04:01,880
Speaker 1: a follow up question? Yeah, dude, I just wondering, how

77
00:04:01,960 --> 00:04:04,800
Speaker 1: how are you feeling now? You know, was going for

78
00:04:05,000 --> 00:04:06,480
Speaker 1: camp after kind of what you've been over for the

79
00:04:06,480 --> 00:04:08,640
Speaker 1: whole year. You're feeling good and you're feeling happy to

80
00:04:08,640 --> 00:04:13,520
Speaker 1: be back. Yeah, you know I think, Um, you know,

81
00:04:15,120 --> 00:04:17,480
Speaker 1: it's just uh how lucky are we that we get

82
00:04:17,480 --> 00:04:20,320
Speaker 1: to play this game? You know, and you know it's

83
00:04:20,360 --> 00:04:22,640
Speaker 1: definitely tough when it gets taken from you, and uh,

84
00:04:23,200 --> 00:04:24,520
Speaker 1: you know, so to be able to be out there

85
00:04:24,560 --> 00:04:27,719
Speaker 1: and be back with the guys, um do what I love,

86
00:04:28,120 --> 00:04:30,839
Speaker 1: go out there and compete. Um, you know, even days

87
00:04:30,960 --> 00:04:33,039
Speaker 1: what it sucks and how hard it is and uh

88
00:04:33,240 --> 00:04:34,880
Speaker 1: you know, just how fortunate are we you to get

89

00:04:45,200 --> 00:04:47,680
Speaker 1: this league, with how things go, how many time opportunities

94
00:04:47,680 --> 00:04:50,200
Speaker 1: you are gonna get with certain guys. Um, you know,

95
00:04:50,240 --> 00:04:52,560
Speaker 1: in teams that change every year, so you know each

96
00:04:52,600 --> 00:04:54,560
Speaker 1: year you can be out there. You're just thankful and

97
00:04:54,600 --> 00:05:00,040
Speaker 1: grateful for the opportunity and kind of with with you

98
00:05:00,240 --> 00:05:02,159
Speaker 1: have coming into the NFL the way you did is

99
00:05:02,920 --> 00:05:04,720
Speaker 1: working your way in, you know, getting those times in

100
00:05:04,760 --> 00:05:07,440
Speaker 1: those preseason games. Have you ever done advice to some

101
00:05:07,480 --> 00:05:09,600
Speaker 1: of those young guys, some of these undrafted free agents

102
00:05:09,600 --> 00:05:12,760
Speaker 1: and the rookies and just keep working kind of stuff

103
00:05:12,800 --> 00:05:16,640
Speaker 1: like that just to help them get through this camp? Yeah,

104
00:05:16,640 --> 00:05:20,680
Speaker 1: you know, Um, definitely you know something you know near

105
00:05:20,720 --> 00:05:23,440
Speaker 1: and dear to me because it's something I did and um,

106
00:05:24,440 --> 00:05:26,440
Speaker 1: you know watched a lot of people, you know, when

107
00:05:26,480 --> 00:05:29,400
Speaker 1: my uncle was coaching, guys go on drafted and make

108
00:05:29,400 --> 00:05:33,080
Speaker 1: teams and have great, great career. So somebody you know,

109
00:05:33,120 --> 00:05:36,359
Speaker 1: always respected growing up and you know, seeing guys do it,

110
00:05:36,400 --> 00:05:39,839
Speaker 1: and then you know, obviously coming in as an unroocky

111
00:05:39,920 --> 00:05:43,719
Speaker 1: guy and seeing guys like Ryan Windell's Malcolm Butler, you

112
00:05:43,760 --> 00:05:47,800
Speaker 1: know a lot of those guys and so, um, you know,

113
00:05:47,839 --> 00:05:49,880
Speaker 1: I think there's something you can you know, those guys

114
00:05:49,880 --> 00:05:53,159
Speaker 1: were very helpful to me, and uh, you know, so

115
00:05:53,240 --> 00:05:55,120
Speaker 1: I think there's always a special place in your heart

116
00:05:55,160 --> 00:05:57,680
Speaker 1: for the guys going through that in the stress and

117
00:05:57,800 --> 00:05:59,320
Speaker 1: whatever it may be. You know, we're all under a

118
00:05:59,320 --> 00:06:02,520
Speaker 1: lot of stress. But you know, um, yeah, I think

119
00:06:02,520 --> 00:06:04,200
Speaker 1: you can try to help those guys as much as

120
00:06:04,200 --> 00:06:08,200
Speaker 1: you can, um, you know, really just mentally and uh,

121
00:06:08,440 --> 00:06:10,000
Speaker 1: just stay with it and just kind of put your

122
00:06:10,000 --> 00:06:12,919
Speaker 1: head down and you know, not worry about who's getting

123
00:06:12,960 --> 00:06:15,640
Speaker 1: reps or whatever. Just when you get an opportunity to

124
00:06:15,640 --> 00:06:19,120
Speaker 1: take advantage of it and uh, you know, just do

125
00:06:19,200 --> 00:06:21,320
Speaker 1: the best you can. You never know when that opportunity

126
00:06:21,400 --> 00:06:24,280
Speaker 1: is gonna come, whether it's a Scout team rep or

127
00:06:24,560 --> 00:06:26,640
Speaker 1: you know, someone gets hurt, whatever it may be. And

128
00:06:27,600 --> 00:06:29,200
Speaker 1: you know, I think we've had a lot of guys

129
00:06:29,200 --> 00:06:32,440
Speaker 1: come through this organization that when they get those opportunities,

130
00:06:32,480 --> 00:06:33,920
Speaker 1: they do a great job and take them and run

131
00:06:33,960 --> 00:06:37,000
Speaker 1: with them. But do you do you remember yourself a

132
00:06:37,080 --> 00:06:40,480
Speaker 1: specific opportunity or repper or play in a preseason game

133
00:06:40,520 --> 00:06:43,640
Speaker 1: that that kind of made a difference for your helped

134
00:06:43,640 --> 00:06:46,080
Speaker 1: you game my confidence. Well, I mean I think that's

135
00:06:46,080 --> 00:06:49,000
Speaker 1: the big thing, right, It's not one play, right, Um,

136
00:06:49,640 --> 00:06:51,200
Speaker 1: you know a lot of people can do it one time,

137
00:06:51,720 --> 00:06:53,960
Speaker 1: but it's it's coming out there, you know. And obviously,

138
00:06:54,080 --> 00:06:56,560
Speaker 1: like like I said earlier, some things like correcting these

139
00:06:56,680 --> 00:06:59,159
Speaker 1: mistakes and like you're gonna mess up, You're gonna do

140
00:06:59,160 --> 00:07:02,920
Speaker 1: things wrong, but better each day, be coachable. U. Don't

141
00:07:02,920 --> 00:07:07,279
Speaker 1: make the same mistake you know, multiple times. Um, you know,

142
00:07:07,320 --> 00:07:08,840
Speaker 1: I don't think it's just you're not going to make

143
00:07:08,839 --> 00:07:11,320
Speaker 1: the team off one play. Um. You know, it's a

144
00:07:11,320 --> 00:07:16,080
Speaker 1: consistent day and day out grind U. And I think

145
00:07:16,120 --> 00:07:19,400
Speaker 1: that goes for everyone, not just undrafted guys, first year,

146
00:07:19,520 --> 00:07:22,840
Speaker 1: second year, third year. You know, it's it's a consistent thing.

147
00:07:22,920 --> 00:07:28,520
Speaker 1: That's what makes good football players is being consistent. Thank you, David.

148
00:07:30,960 --> 00:07:33,640
Speaker 1: I don't see any hands raised. If anyone has a

149
00:07:33,720 --> 00:07:38,400
Speaker 1: question for David, please mute, mute your mic and ask away.

150
00:07:44,400 --> 00:07:47,080
Speaker 1: Oh good, thank you David. Thanks guys,
