Yeah, 3 00:00:07,400 --> 00:00:10,080 Speaker 1: looking forward to like actually being face to face maybe 4 00:00:10,119 --> 00:00:13,920 Speaker 1: this year, so that'll be good. You guys got enough 5 00:00:14,000 --> 00:00:16,760 Speaker 1: Michigan guys now, I mean you're just stacking them on. Yeah, 6 00:00:16,800 --> 00:00:18,759 Speaker 1: it might become a tradition now. I mean we've taken 7 00:00:18,800 --> 00:00:21,360 Speaker 1: two a year, so I mean, I'm you know, I'm 8 00:00:21,480 --> 00:00:24,480 Speaker 1: keep putting in my good word. There you go. I 9 00:00:24,520 --> 00:00:26,319 Speaker 1: wanted to ask you what it's been like the last 10 00:00:26,320 --> 00:00:29,360 Speaker 1: two days out on the field. How would you describe 11 00:00:29,400 --> 00:00:32,600 Speaker 1: sort of what's happening out there? And the practices have 12 00:00:32,720 --> 00:00:35,440 Speaker 1: been good. I mean everyone's getting back in saying getting 13 00:00:35,560 --> 00:00:37,560 Speaker 1: you know, working together. It's been a of since everyone 14 00:00:37,600 --> 00:00:40,320 Speaker 1: has been together. So this definitely feels good to be 15 00:00:40,400 --> 00:00:43,280 Speaker 1: back out there and being back in helmets and you know, 16 00:00:43,360 --> 00:00:47,360 Speaker 1: working with my unit. And then, um, Joe was such 17 00:00:47,360 --> 00:00:50,279 Speaker 1: a valuable guy to you guys up front last year. 18 00:00:50,520 --> 00:00:54,000 Speaker 1: Um what stands out to you about the group's challenge 19 00:00:54,400 --> 00:00:57,960 Speaker 1: in replacing him moving forward? Yeah, I mean everyone's taught 20 00:00:58,000 --> 00:01:01,520 Speaker 1: the same thing, so I think, and I mean, essentially, 21 00:01:01,800 --> 00:01:04,120 Speaker 1: you know, it's in a job as a whole. It's 22 00:01:04,200 --> 00:01:07,120 Speaker 1: next man up, so everyone, anyone and everyone has to 23 00:01:07,160 --> 00:01:09,119 Speaker 1: be ready for the next man up. So I mean, 24 00:01:09,120 --> 00:01:15,119 Speaker 1: I think that's just the DDIC job goes all. Next 25 00:01:15,200 --> 00:01:21,360 Speaker 1: question Mark Daniel's falled by Bob socias well. Um, when 26 00:01:21,400 --> 00:01:23,520 Speaker 1: you have a year like you did where you played 27 00:01:23,600 --> 00:01:25,920 Speaker 1: so many different positions, Um, how do you how do 28 00:01:25,920 --> 00:01:27,520 Speaker 1: you approach the off season? Where do you where do 29 00:01:27,560 --> 00:01:30,680 Speaker 1: you focus? Obviously there's different techniques whether you know you're 30 00:01:30,720 --> 00:01:32,720 Speaker 1: a tackle or you're a guard, So how did you 31 00:01:32,760 --> 00:01:37,520 Speaker 1: approach that? You know this offseason heading into hotis definitely Um, 32 00:01:37,560 --> 00:01:40,160 Speaker 1: I just approached off season doing the basics, doing the 33 00:01:40,800 --> 00:01:43,200 Speaker 1: you know, the general rules will will lead you and 34 00:01:43,280 --> 00:01:47,200 Speaker 1: carry you along in a season whatever position wise. And 35 00:01:47,280 --> 00:01:49,680 Speaker 1: you know, as long as I'm doing the technique that 36 00:01:49,760 --> 00:01:52,560 Speaker 1: my coaches are teaching, I think, you know, anywhere that 37 00:01:52,600 --> 00:01:55,120 Speaker 1: I am, I'll be I'll be pretty good, you know, 38 00:01:55,520 --> 00:01:59,000 Speaker 1: using the same techniques too. And I think I know 39 00:01:59,040 --> 00:02:00,840 Speaker 1: the answer to this question. Do you have a preference 40 00:02:00,880 --> 00:02:03,160 Speaker 1: when it comes to tackle Regarden? I do not have 41 00:02:03,240 --> 00:02:05,840 Speaker 1: a preference Wherever I'm needed, and that's where I'm at. 42 00:02:06,800 --> 00:02:11,760 Speaker 1: That's what I thought. Thank you, Thank you, Thanks. Question Bob, 43 00:02:11,800 --> 00:02:14,800 Speaker 1: so see fall about Doug.

What's your 50 00:02:33,360 --> 00:02:35,519 Speaker 1: experience been like from that stand Why do you feel 51 00:02:35,560 --> 00:02:38,560 Speaker 1: like you have a different sense of a lot of 52 00:02:38,560 --> 00:02:40,799 Speaker 1: your teammates. I know you guys went through it together 53 00:02:40,880 --> 00:02:43,079 Speaker 1: last year, but now that you've had this time this 54 00:02:43,200 --> 00:02:46,720 Speaker 1: spring together, maybe a little more loosely we're gonna more 55 00:02:48,120 --> 00:02:51,880 Speaker 1: loosely control let's say, all the restrictions. Yeah, I will 56 00:02:51,960 --> 00:02:56,120 Speaker 1: say definitely everyone has been building camaraderie, in building a 57 00:02:56,200 --> 00:02:58,440 Speaker 1: mean though where everyone is getting to know each other. 58 00:02:58,440 --> 00:03:00,760 Speaker 1: We have a lot of new faces, So definitely this 59 00:03:00,880 --> 00:03:02,960 Speaker 1: time has been good for us, and you know, guys 60 00:03:03,000 --> 00:03:05,680 Speaker 1: hanging out outside of the bidding, coming together and just 61 00:03:05,960 --> 00:03:08,320 Speaker 1: you know, working on football together and outside of the building. 62 00:03:09,520 --> 00:03:12,560 Speaker 1: I know Mike asked about Michigan and the pipeline now 63 00:03:12,600 --> 00:03:16,119 Speaker 1: from Ann Arbor to Fodgeboro one of those guys, Josh Uch, 64 00:03:16,280 --> 00:03:19,320 Speaker 1: what kind of development have you seen from him this offseason? 65 00:03:19,440 --> 00:03:23,239 Speaker 1: And what can you tell us about Cam mcgron um. 66 00:03:23,800 --> 00:03:26,360 Speaker 1: I think Josh is doing good, you know, going forward, 67 00:03:26,400 --> 00:03:28,000 Speaker 1: you know, that's more stuff for him. I'm not really 68 00:03:28,000 --> 00:03:31,040 Speaker 1: watching him or Cam or I haven't seen Cam for 69 00:03:31,080 --> 00:03:33,640 Speaker 1: the most part, but definitely, I know everyone's working and 70 00:03:33,639 --> 00:03:36,440 Speaker 1: everyone's doing what they gotta do to become you know, 71 00:03:36,720 --> 00:03:40,720 Speaker 1: their goals and reached their ghosts aspirations. Michael, thank you. 72 00:03:41,040 --> 00:03:46,520 Speaker 1: Thank your next question Doug Kind, followed by Andrew Kellinghen Mike, 73 00:03:46,560 --> 00:03:49,080 Speaker 1: hope you're doing well. I believe you went up against 74 00:03:49,200 --> 00:03:54,040 Speaker 1: Christian Barmore back in the cotween nineteen season. Yeah. What 75 00:03:54,120 --> 00:03:57,040 Speaker 1: do you remember from that game against Alabama and the 76 00:03:57,080 --> 00:04:00,560 Speaker 1: matchup against Barmore in particular. Yeah, I don't remember much 77 00:04:00,600 --> 00:04:03,200 Speaker 1: of the matchup, but I mean just from the game. 78 00:04:03,240 --> 00:04:05,400 Speaker 1: He was a good, good presence, was a good d 79 00:04:05,480 --> 00:04:08,200 Speaker 1: tackle and you know, you gotta worry about him in 80 00:04:08,240 --> 00:04:10,840 Speaker 1: a in the scheme, and you know have to prep 81 00:04:10,880 --> 00:04:13,680 Speaker 1: for him. He's definitely a powerful player and has a 82 00:04:13,720 --> 00:04:17,159 Speaker 1: good get up and obviously you played a lot of 83 00:04:17,200 --> 00:04:20,000 Speaker 1: tackle last season. Your asked about the different positions earlier, 84 00:04:20,040 --> 00:04:23,080 Speaker 1: but you didn't play a lot of tackle obviously at Michigan. 85 00:04:23,200 --> 00:04:27,279 Speaker 1: So this offseason did you focus a little bit more 86 00:04:27,640 --> 00:04:31,239 Speaker 1: on the tackle position or do the fundamentals really carry 87 00:04:31,279 --> 00:04:34,600 Speaker 1: over that much between garden tackle that you didn't need 88 00:04:34,640 --> 00:04:37,479 Speaker 1: to do that the fundamentals really carry over, But I 89 00:04:37,520 --> 00:04:39,680 Speaker 1: mean I did prep for both positions. You know, it's 90 00:04:39,760 --> 00:04:44,280 Speaker 1: just you know, it's only right. Thank you, thank you. 91 00:04:47,520 --> 00:04:53,080 Speaker 1: Last question currently Andrew Calham. Any, Mike, it's good to 92 00:04:53,080 --> 00:04:55,320 Speaker 1: see man Um. What was it was the best off 93 00:04:55,320 --> 00:04:59,400 Speaker 1: field thing he did this offseason? I really think the 94 00:04:59,400 --> 00:05:01,800 Speaker 1: best thing I did this offseason was probably just hanging 95 00:05:01,839 --> 00:05:03,720 Speaker 1: out with the guys. I mean last year we were 96 00:05:04,040 --> 00:05:06,560 Speaker 1: all virtuous and I was at home. I mean really, 97 00:05:06,720 --> 00:05:08,520 Speaker 1: like I said, just getting to be around these guys 98 00:05:08,520 --> 00:05:11,760 Speaker 1: and outside of football, getting getting being able to do 99 00:05:11,839 --> 00:05:14,880 Speaker 1: things and you know, experience things just as regular people. 100 00:05:15,440 --> 00:05:17,560 Speaker 1: It's definitely one of those things that I've appreciate it 101 00:05:18,000 --> 00:05:20,120 Speaker 1: well when you look back over those twelve months, and 102 00:05:20,320 --> 00:05:23,760 Speaker 1: I know there's a growth in a ton of different areas, right, scheme, familiarity, 103 00:05:23,839 --> 00:05:26,640 Speaker 1: knowing your teammates just physically, But where would you say 104 00:05:26,760 --> 00:05:29,440 Speaker 1: you were most different as a player that one area, 105 00:05:29,480 --> 00:05:32,080 Speaker 1: but maybe just certain things where you know Michael Winner 106 00:05:32,120 --> 00:05:33,960 Speaker 1: in twenty twenty one right now, is it so different 107 00:05:33,960 --> 00:05:36,480 Speaker 1: when you first walked in that building? Are you saying 108 00:05:36,520 --> 00:05:39,039 Speaker 1: like in turns from this year and last year or yeah, yeah, 109 00:05:39,080 --> 00:05:41,560 Speaker 1: when you first got in, you know where you brows 110 00:05:41,600 --> 00:05:45,080 Speaker 1: to change most. I would probably just say kind of 111 00:05:45,480 --> 00:05:47,919 Speaker 1: kind of coming in, you know, being real anxious. Like 112 00:05:47,920 --> 00:05:49,840 Speaker 1: I said, I didn't really the off season was at 113 00:05:49,880 --> 00:05:52,560 Speaker 1: home in Virtue, so coming into the building, I didn't 114 00:05:52,560 --> 00:05:55,080 Speaker 1: really know what to expect, whereas you know this second 115 00:05:55,120 --> 00:05:57,040 Speaker 1: year and you know I have a year under my build, 116 00:05:57,080 --> 00:05:58,520 Speaker 1: I know what to expect. I know how to work, 117 00:05:58,600 --> 00:06:01,080 Speaker 1: I know how to practice, so I mean going forward, 118 00:06:01,279 --> 00:06:03,880 Speaker 1: you know, I know how to said good, good groundwork, 119 00:06:04,080 --> 00:06:06,760 Speaker 1: going for it cool. And then last one, you know, 120 00:06:06,800 --> 00:06:10,720 Speaker 1: we saw the team published photos of OTA's practice yesterday, 121 00:06:11,000 --> 00:06:12,719 Speaker 1: got our first look at Mac Jones on the field, 122 00:06:12,760 --> 00:06:14,520 Speaker 1: and I'm out looking for a scouting report. I'm sure 123 00:06:14,520 --> 00:06:15,880 Speaker 1: you haven't spent a ton of time with him, book. 124 00:06:15,920 --> 00:06:18,479 Speaker 1: What's what's the first thing that struck you about, you know, 125 00:06:18,560 --> 00:06:21,599 Speaker 1: him being in the huddle or on the field with him, yeah, 126 00:06:21,720 --> 00:06:23,680 Speaker 1: I mean, I think he looks good all around. I 127 00:06:23,680 --> 00:06:26,599 Speaker 1: mean I think he fits the personnel and fits the team. 128 00:06:26,800 --> 00:06:31,520 Speaker 1: So cool. Hey, thanks Mike, Thank you. All right, two 129 00:06:31,520 --> 00:06:36,800 Speaker 1: more questions Jimmy Pride, followed by Bob so Seen. Hey, Mike. 130 00:06:37,360 --> 00:06:39,680 Speaker 1: When we talked to coach Belichick at the end of 131 00:06:39,760 --> 00:06:41,440 Speaker 1: last year, he said one of the things that they 132 00:06:41,480 --> 00:06:43,840 Speaker 1: needed to figure out was whether you were a god 133 00:06:43,960 --> 00:06:46,320 Speaker 1: or a tackle. Do you think they've figured that out? 134 00:06:46,360 --> 00:06:48,800 Speaker 1: And you have? You been at one position more than 135 00:06:48,800 --> 00:06:51,640 Speaker 1: the other In these couple of days at OTAs Um, 136 00:06:51,680 --> 00:06:55,320 Speaker 1: I've been repping both, repping you know, every position throughout 137 00:06:55,680 --> 00:06:58,880 Speaker 1: our duras and individuals, So I think, you know, it's 138 00:06:58,920 --> 00:07:01,680 Speaker 1: kind of just one of those things whereas we'll see, 139 00:07:01,800 --> 00:07:03,920 Speaker 1: we'll see how you know how it is when it happens, 140 00:07:04,279 --> 00:07:09,840 Speaker 1: But I mean it's possibility. Thanks Blake, Thank you, and Mike. 141 00:07:09,920 --> 00:07:12,920 Speaker 1: I wanted to ask you a non football question about 142 00:07:12,960 --> 00:07:16,240 Speaker 1: one of your teammates and a classmate in that offensive 143 00:07:16,240 --> 00:07:19,840 Speaker 1: line room.

I wondered what 146 00:07:26,880 --> 00:07:29,440 Speaker 1: your reaction to that was and if you could expand 147 00:07:29,480 --> 00:07:32,280 Speaker 1: a little bit on Justin's characters, you've gotten to know 148 00:07:32,480 --> 00:07:35,360 Speaker 1: him develop along with him from last year of course 149 00:07:36,000 --> 00:07:39,640 Speaker 1: through this offseason. Yeah, all In, Justin is a is 150 00:07:39,640 --> 00:07:42,480 Speaker 1: a real upstanding guy.

Yeah do you guys? Okay, I just 158 00:08:07,120 --> 00:08:09,840 Speaker 1: gonna quickly ask you about your relationship with him and 159 00:08:09,880 --> 00:08:13,560 Speaker 1: how much you helped one another rookies in the offensive line. Yeah, 160 00:08:13,600 --> 00:08:15,560 Speaker 1: definitely last year it was you know, it was me 161 00:08:15,560 --> 00:08:18,400 Speaker 1: and him throughout the whole year.
