That's what that's what the position of 48 00:02:05,120 --> 00:02:08,520 Speaker 3: playing offensive line is about. We get none of the credit. 49 00:02:08,600 --> 00:02:09,600 Speaker 3: You know, we don't even. 50 00:02:09,400 --> 00:02:09,919 Speaker 2: Need the credit. 51 00:02:10,440 --> 00:02:13,760 Speaker 3: I love watching you know, singletary sport touchdowns.

So to 54 00:02:19,200 --> 00:02:23,240 Speaker 3: give them the availability and the option to do all 55 00:02:23,240 --> 00:02:24,880 Speaker 3: that stuff, you know, that's what that's what we get 56 00:02:24,880 --> 00:02:27,240 Speaker 3: our joy from. And we have a job to do, 57 00:02:27,480 --> 00:02:31,160 Speaker 3: and we know that this organization really invested heavily in 58 00:02:31,200 --> 00:02:34,359 Speaker 3: the offensive line and you know elsewhere this season, and 59 00:02:34,440 --> 00:02:36,639 Speaker 3: that's a priority and we're wearing that on our shoulders. 60 00:02:36,680 --> 00:02:40,000 Speaker 3: And coach Karen and coach James, they've been a fantastic 61 00:02:40,080 --> 00:02:43,680 Speaker 3: jobs off season. We've really been enjoying it, liking their coaching, 62 00:02:43,720 --> 00:02:47,080 Speaker 3: and I can already see it, like going back watching 63 00:02:47,480 --> 00:02:49,680 Speaker 3: you know a little bit of film from last season 64 00:02:49,680 --> 00:02:51,600 Speaker 3: and where we are today, I feel like everything's just 65 00:02:51,639 --> 00:02:53,840 Speaker 3: been mentioned a lot better. I mean, granted, we are, 66 00:02:54,120 --> 00:02:56,720 Speaker 3: you know, in beginning of June, and we still got 67 00:02:56,720 --> 00:02:58,360 Speaker 3: a long way to go. We training can't coming up, 68 00:02:58,360 --> 00:03:01,080 Speaker 3: but I can really feel everything moving in the in 69 00:03:01,120 --> 00:03:02,280 Speaker 3: the right direction where we need to be. 70 00:03:02,520 --> 00:03:06,480 Speaker 4: John, you're in between two young players and John wid 71 00:03:06,560 --> 00:03:07,760 Speaker 4: Schmidts and Heavan. 72 00:03:07,840 --> 00:03:09,880 Speaker 2: Even though Evan hasn't taken a whole lot of reps. 73 00:03:10,280 --> 00:03:12,919 Speaker 4: Is that additional your sponsor ability for you to be 74 00:03:13,000 --> 00:03:13,800 Speaker 4: in between young. 75 00:03:13,639 --> 00:03:14,200 Speaker 2: Guys like that? 76 00:03:16,360 --> 00:03:19,079 Speaker 3: Yeah, you can look at it like that. It's really 77 00:03:19,160 --> 00:03:22,680 Speaker 3: been amazing playing next to John Michael. If I would 78 00:03:22,680 --> 00:03:24,320 Speaker 3: have came in here not really known his background, I 79 00:03:24,360 --> 00:03:26,000 Speaker 3: would have thought he was a five year veteran. 80 00:03:26,639 --> 00:03:28,240 Speaker 2: He comes in here and he takes it serious. 81 00:03:29,080 --> 00:03:31,760 Speaker 3: He's on top of his stuff. He rarely makes a mistake. 82 00:03:31,840 --> 00:03:34,120 Speaker 3: He gets everybody set out on the offensive line, and 83 00:03:34,639 --> 00:03:38,880 Speaker 3: having a center like that is awesome. It helps everybody out. 84 00:03:39,600 --> 00:03:41,560 Speaker 3: The five across, helps out the quarterback, has out the 85 00:03:41,600 --> 00:03:44,680 Speaker 3: running back, and everybody's set. So having John Michael in 86 00:03:44,720 --> 00:03:47,960 Speaker 3: there has been really important. And you know Evans. I 87 00:03:48,000 --> 00:03:50,360 Speaker 3: don't know what Evan's dealing with, but he hasn't been 88 00:03:50,360 --> 00:03:52,560 Speaker 3: in there any of the team piers. He's been in 89 00:03:52,560 --> 00:03:54,680 Speaker 3: there and walked through and I think he's really been 90 00:03:54,680 --> 00:03:57,840 Speaker 3: taking his time getting his body right understanding you know, 91 00:03:57,920 --> 00:04:00,400 Speaker 3: our scheme and when we're in there and walk through together. 92 00:04:00,440 --> 00:04:02,080 Speaker 3: He's I've been on top of his stuff, and you know, 93 00:04:02,120 --> 00:04:03,840 Speaker 3: he's been helping me out because this is still kind 94 00:04:03,880 --> 00:04:06,080 Speaker 3: of a new scheme, something you've never done before, and 95 00:04:06,280 --> 00:04:07,839 Speaker 3: you know he's helping me. He's in my ear about 96 00:04:07,880 --> 00:04:10,320 Speaker 3: it too. So you know, those those are two young guys, 97 00:04:10,320 --> 00:04:12,720 Speaker 3: but they're they're really mature for their age, and I'm 98 00:04:12,760 --> 00:04:13,800 Speaker 3: really impressed with them so far. 99 00:04:13,960 --> 00:04:16,120 Speaker 2: John, How do you feel about settling in on the right? 100 00:04:16,560 --> 00:04:18,000 Speaker 3: So I think when you came in here, you said 101 00:04:18,040 --> 00:04:19,760 Speaker 3: you like like the left side, but we know you 102 00:04:19,760 --> 00:04:20,400 Speaker 3: can play both. 103 00:04:20,880 --> 00:04:24,280 Speaker 2: Yeah, you feel about that. My whole career, it didn't matter. 104 00:04:24,360 --> 00:04:25,240 Speaker 2: You know where I play. 105 00:04:25,320 --> 00:04:27,080 Speaker 3: Earlier on in my career, I played mainly left, and 106 00:04:27,120 --> 00:04:29,960 Speaker 3: you know, towards the end second half, move over to right. 107 00:04:30,040 --> 00:04:31,960 Speaker 2: And it feels natural for me now. 108 00:04:32,920 --> 00:04:35,279 Speaker 3: Kind of when I moved over there about two years ago, 109 00:04:35,360 --> 00:04:36,479 Speaker 3: and you know, I kind of felt like a fish 110 00:04:36,520 --> 00:04:38,680 Speaker 3: out of water. But it's kind of my home now 111 00:04:38,720 --> 00:04:42,000 Speaker 3: and I feel comfortable there and been taking reps there 112 00:04:42,040 --> 00:04:43,840 Speaker 3: pretty much this whole time, and you know, day by 113 00:04:43,880 --> 00:04:46,279 Speaker 3: day just gets more comfortable in the sets and and 114 00:04:46,360 --> 00:04:48,520 Speaker 3: the footwork, and everything's been flowing. 115 00:04:48,560 --> 00:04:52,040 Speaker 2: How important do you view that stability position wise? 116 00:04:52,360 --> 00:04:52,480 Speaker 4: Uh? 117 00:04:52,640 --> 00:04:54,800 Speaker 2: I know some coaches believe, you know, they could. 118 00:04:54,680 --> 00:04:57,320 Speaker 1: Just move guys around, But would you rather just like 119 00:04:57,839 --> 00:04:59,919 Speaker 1: stay in one spot and rep there the whole. 120 00:04:59,760 --> 00:05:03,040 Speaker 2: Time you've been moving around? Will be your preference? 121 00:05:03,800 --> 00:05:06,400 Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, I think if any offensive lineman would 122 00:05:06,400 --> 00:05:07,919 Speaker 3: have it, they would only play in one spot. But 123 00:05:08,360 --> 00:05:10,320 Speaker 3: that's not really the nature of playing in this league. 124 00:05:10,320 --> 00:05:12,960 Speaker 3: In the NFL, we we got guys that are going 125 00:05:13,000 --> 00:05:15,880 Speaker 3: back and forth between tackles positions, playing all three on 126 00:05:15,960 --> 00:05:18,400 Speaker 3: the interior, And I think it gives you more value 127 00:05:18,400 --> 00:05:21,080 Speaker 3: as a player being able to do those, you know, 128 00:05:22,040 --> 00:05:24,280 Speaker 3: like being able to do those no matter what, and uh, 129 00:05:24,400 --> 00:05:26,719 Speaker 3: being that guy for those coaches put you in there. 130 00:05:26,880 --> 00:05:29,960 Speaker 3: And uh, I mean some guys prefer, you know, sticking 131 00:05:29,960 --> 00:05:31,760 Speaker 3: to one spot. And you know, if I need to 132 00:05:31,760 --> 00:05:33,680 Speaker 3: play left, if I need to play right, it doesn't matter. 133 00:05:33,680 --> 00:05:35,520 Speaker 3: If you need to kick me out the tackle, I'll 134 00:05:35,520 --> 00:05:38,000 Speaker 3: figure it out or center, And uh, it's just it's 135 00:05:38,000 --> 00:05:40,120 Speaker 3: just different things for different people. We know what coaches 136 00:05:40,520 --> 00:05:42,640 Speaker 3: see his best fits for the For the guys out there. 137 00:05:42,600 --> 00:05:45,479 Speaker 1: What if you learned from your new position college. 138 00:05:47,440 --> 00:05:51,760 Speaker 3: Carm He's a very detailed and very detail oriented.
