I'm John 2 00:00:03,040 --> 00:00:06,040 Speaker 1: Oser and I'm joined this week by Jaguars center Mitch 3 00:00:06,120 --> 00:00:08,760 Speaker 1: Morse and Mitch, first of all, appreciate you doing it. Absolutely, 4 00:00:08,760 --> 00:00:12,240 Speaker 1: Thank you for having me and tenth year guy does 5 00:00:12,360 --> 00:00:17,440 Speaker 1: Jaguars center Mitch Morse? Does that sound right? By now 6 00:00:17,880 --> 00:00:19,320 Speaker 1: are used to that title? 7 00:00:19,360 --> 00:00:22,680 Speaker 2: I would say, yeah, now that we've accrued some months 8 00:00:22,680 --> 00:00:26,239 Speaker 2: here and the families acclimated and we've just done some 9 00:00:26,280 --> 00:00:27,760 Speaker 2: time on task, Yeah, it is. 10 00:00:27,840 --> 00:00:33,120 Speaker 1: It feels good, easier to adapt to new situation if 11 00:00:33,159 --> 00:00:34,600 Speaker 1: you've been in the league for a while because you 12 00:00:34,640 --> 00:00:37,880 Speaker 1: sort of know absolutely, I guess know what to expect, 13 00:00:37,880 --> 00:00:39,680 Speaker 1: although there's always newness when you switch a team. 14 00:00:40,360 --> 00:00:44,400 Speaker 2: Absolutely, yeah, I would just say there's always newness with 15 00:00:44,760 --> 00:00:47,839 Speaker 2: you know, when you change teams, there's always the unknown, 16 00:00:47,880 --> 00:00:51,360 Speaker 2: which can be a little bit daunting, but you do 17 00:00:51,440 --> 00:00:53,520 Speaker 2: have a lot more past experience to draw back upon. 18 00:00:53,560 --> 00:00:57,080 Speaker 2: And then just I think you've played a lot of ball, 19 00:00:57,680 --> 00:01:00,200 Speaker 2: You've gone through a lot of situations with different plays, 20 00:01:00,200 --> 00:01:03,240 Speaker 2: and you've had different line rooms even in even in 21 00:01:03,280 --> 00:01:06,360 Speaker 2: the same organizations. Right Like, you stick around a place 22 00:01:06,600 --> 00:01:08,880 Speaker 2: long enough, there's turnover as well, so you've had that. 23 00:01:08,959 --> 00:01:12,800 Speaker 2: But I think the thing that is the biggest difficulty, 24 00:01:12,840 --> 00:01:17,280 Speaker 2: if there is one, is the the staff, that the 25 00:01:17,280 --> 00:01:20,160 Speaker 2: people really make this thing run, just because we don't 26 00:01:20,160 --> 00:01:23,880 Speaker 2: spend as much time with them, and you know, you 27 00:01:23,920 --> 00:01:26,280 Speaker 2: have to draw so much on those guys and gals 28 00:01:26,280 --> 00:01:29,240 Speaker 2: that you don't want to just have a relationship where 29 00:01:29,240 --> 00:01:31,360 Speaker 2: it's you're asking for something rather being something. You want 30 00:01:31,360 --> 00:01:32,520 Speaker 2: to actually build these kind. 31 00:01:32,360 --> 00:01:34,479 Speaker 1: Of relations time to sort of get what you're talking 32 00:01:34,520 --> 00:01:37,600 Speaker 1: about five minute conversation and you need thirty. 33 00:01:37,360 --> 00:01:39,759 Speaker 2: Of those exactly right, Like we've all been around people 34 00:01:39,760 --> 00:01:42,240 Speaker 2: who show up and try to be someone who than 35 00:01:42,240 --> 00:01:46,960 Speaker 2: not or or try to you know, just beat his 36 00:01:47,120 --> 00:01:49,760 Speaker 2: giant presence when you haven't spent the time with people, 37 00:01:51,120 --> 00:01:53,600 Speaker 2: no doubt, right, Like you know, people see right through that. 38 00:01:53,680 --> 00:01:58,360 Speaker 2: So that was my biggest fear coming here, you know. 39 00:01:58,400 --> 00:02:01,200 Speaker 2: But you don't have that much time to build these relationships, right, 40 00:02:01,280 --> 00:02:02,840 Speaker 2: So it's a catch twenty two. 41 00:02:05,000 --> 00:02:09,640 Speaker 1: How do you you're brought in and clearly as a 42 00:02:09,680 --> 00:02:12,960 Speaker 1: tenth year guy, it was said publicly a lot need 43 00:02:13,000 --> 00:02:16,280 Speaker 1: to provide some leadership, need to sort of set the example. 44 00:02:16,919 --> 00:02:19,600 Speaker 1: And yet like what you're talking about, you still have 45 00:02:19,639 --> 00:02:23,280 Speaker 1: to learn teammates, So you can't come in acting like, hey, 46 00:02:23,320 --> 00:02:25,880 Speaker 1: I pretty much know everything here. Just listen to the 47 00:02:25,919 --> 00:02:28,560 Speaker 1: old wise guy. So there's a balance there, right. 48 00:02:28,639 --> 00:02:32,040 Speaker 2: One thousand percent. Right, Like, first of all, as I've learned, 49 00:02:32,320 --> 00:02:34,480 Speaker 2: the more I play this game, the less I know. Okay, 50 00:02:34,639 --> 00:02:37,919 Speaker 2: so many intricacies of this game. So I would say 51 00:02:38,000 --> 00:02:43,560 Speaker 2: that exactly like you said, No one respects that, right, 52 00:02:43,880 --> 00:02:46,880 Speaker 2: and you have to be who you are because people 53 00:02:46,880 --> 00:02:50,680 Speaker 2: see through that too. And for me, I'm just gonna 54 00:02:50,800 --> 00:02:54,200 Speaker 2: try to be a professional every day and hopefully the 55 00:02:54,240 --> 00:02:56,239 Speaker 2: guys can see that. It's gonna be perfect. No, Like 56 00:02:56,320 --> 00:02:59,160 Speaker 2: everyone has these tougher days, but when you have these 57 00:02:59,200 --> 00:03:02,560 Speaker 2: relationships you're slowly building, you can draw on certain guys 58 00:03:02,600 --> 00:03:04,799 Speaker 2: to help you out of those holes. And hopefully I'm 59 00:03:04,800 --> 00:03:06,480 Speaker 2: a guy that can draw guys out, because I'm going 60 00:03:06,520 --> 00:03:08,000 Speaker 2: to need to be drawn out of holes. It's just 61 00:03:08,320 --> 00:03:09,519 Speaker 2: the nature of this business. 62 00:03:09,760 --> 00:03:11,400 Speaker 1: Do you just have to kind of trust at that 63 00:03:11,520 --> 00:03:13,640 Speaker 1: point that hey, you know, I've been in it for 64 00:03:13,760 --> 00:03:17,839 Speaker 1: nine years. I know how to approach this. I've seen professionalism. 65 00:03:18,960 --> 00:03:23,000 Speaker 1: If I behave that way, then I know that's the 66 00:03:23,080 --> 00:03:25,639 Speaker 1: right way, and guys will follow the example. 67 00:03:25,680 --> 00:03:28,560 Speaker 2: I mean, just be a pro, right totally, yeah, And 68 00:03:28,680 --> 00:03:33,200 Speaker 2: each day being a pro mean something different. Today dictates 69 00:03:33,200 --> 00:03:35,320 Speaker 2: what being a pro means. And I think that's the 70 00:03:35,320 --> 00:03:39,040 Speaker 2: beautiful thing about this business and it's also the most 71 00:03:39,080 --> 00:03:40,320 Speaker 2: humbling part of it for sure. 72 00:03:40,920 --> 00:03:43,640 Speaker 1: How do you sort of tied into the next question, 73 00:03:43,680 --> 00:03:47,560 Speaker 1: but the mood of the week obviously a game that 74 00:03:47,880 --> 00:03:50,640 Speaker 1: could have been one sort of a tough gut punch. 75 00:03:53,120 --> 00:03:55,680 Speaker 1: Is there a role that you play in terms of 76 00:03:57,000 --> 00:03:59,040 Speaker 1: setting the example for how to handle that or do 77 00:03:59,080 --> 00:04:01,080 Speaker 1: you just have to do the same way you're talking about, Hey, 78 00:04:01,240 --> 00:04:02,200 Speaker 1: I know what I have to do. I have to 79 00:04:02,200 --> 00:04:02,720 Speaker 1: come to work. 80 00:04:03,120 --> 00:04:05,720 Speaker 2: I think it would be the latter better than the former, right, Like, 81 00:04:07,480 --> 00:04:09,680 Speaker 2: it was a gut punch, right Like, we felt like 82 00:04:09,760 --> 00:04:11,880 Speaker 2: we had every opportunity to win that game, and we 83 00:04:11,920 --> 00:04:14,320 Speaker 2: felt like we lost it. Right the defense put it, 84 00:04:14,400 --> 00:04:17,640 Speaker 2: had an outstanding performance, and you know, we just made 85 00:04:17,640 --> 00:04:21,360 Speaker 2: little mistakes and we lost. As a team, yes, but 86 00:04:21,760 --> 00:04:23,960 Speaker 2: you know, I think we can look as an offense 87 00:04:24,040 --> 00:04:27,520 Speaker 2: and see where we let some things slip through our hands. 88 00:04:27,600 --> 00:04:29,520 Speaker 2: And the beautiful thing about this game is we have 89 00:04:29,520 --> 00:04:36,560 Speaker 2: an opportunity most sundays to remedy those mistakes. Now, granted, 90 00:04:36,600 --> 00:04:39,279 Speaker 2: that's not going to be very easy versus defense like 91 00:04:40,279 --> 00:04:44,719 Speaker 2: the Browns have with you know, coach Schwartz. So yeah, 92 00:04:45,040 --> 00:04:47,880 Speaker 2: the last thing you also want to do is ride 93 00:04:47,960 --> 00:04:51,400 Speaker 2: these roller coasters, these waves of extreme highs and devastating 94 00:04:51,440 --> 00:04:54,000 Speaker 2: those which is the NFL. It's what people want you 95 00:04:54,040 --> 00:04:56,520 Speaker 2: to do, right and if you do that, you can't 96 00:04:56,600 --> 00:04:59,160 Speaker 2: last twenty or so weeks that you. 97 00:04:59,120 --> 00:05:02,640 Speaker 1: Want to sort of see that it's not. 98 00:05:03,200 --> 00:05:06,680 Speaker 2: At times at times, but it'll still get you. It'll 99 00:05:06,680 --> 00:05:09,480 Speaker 2: still get you. You you It is easier, for sure, 100 00:05:10,080 --> 00:05:12,520 Speaker 2: and it's not like this big It doesn't hit you, 101 00:05:13,200 --> 00:05:16,599 Speaker 2: it doesn't blindside you, but it's still you have to 102 00:05:16,600 --> 00:05:20,080 Speaker 2: remind yourself to not ride the wave because I think 103 00:05:20,080 --> 00:05:22,159 Speaker 2: the hardest thing is when you things are going well, 104 00:05:22,800 --> 00:05:26,039 Speaker 2: it's hard not to drink the kool aid, right. So I. 105 00:05:29,560 --> 00:05:32,839 Speaker 1: Mean, you know, I you haven't seen all these guys 106 00:05:32,839 --> 00:05:37,960 Speaker 1: in this situation before, but you feel like the team's 107 00:05:37,960 --> 00:05:40,000 Speaker 1: approaching it the right way. I guess what I'm asking, Yes, 108 00:05:40,240 --> 00:05:40,560 Speaker 1: I do. 109 00:05:40,600 --> 00:05:44,200 Speaker 2: I think Doug pusts in a position where we get 110 00:05:44,240 --> 00:05:47,640 Speaker 2: to go back to work. And I thought the coaches 111 00:05:47,640 --> 00:05:52,440 Speaker 2: were constructive with us and their criticism. They weren't just 112 00:05:52,560 --> 00:05:56,920 Speaker 2: detrimental or demeaning, and we also have teammates and professionals 113 00:05:56,920 --> 00:06:01,560 Speaker 2: that do a good job of looking inward. What individually 114 00:06:01,560 --> 00:06:04,360 Speaker 2: we could have done better to do that and hopefully 115 00:06:04,360 --> 00:06:07,600 Speaker 2: put our best foot forward against a very competitive Cleveland's 116 00:06:07,600 --> 00:06:08,320 Speaker 2: Browns team. 117 00:06:08,760 --> 00:06:11,039 Speaker 1: Sort Of a big picture question, probably digging back to 118 00:06:11,040 --> 00:06:14,000 Speaker 1: when you got here. What do you like about this 119 00:06:14,200 --> 00:06:17,520 Speaker 1: bunch that makes you feel good about the season, even 120 00:06:17,600 --> 00:06:20,960 Speaker 1: without like the resiliency topic of this week, but overall, 121 00:06:21,000 --> 00:06:22,880 Speaker 1: what do you like about this team? What gives you hope? 122 00:06:23,279 --> 00:06:28,640 Speaker 2: I think they're just so hungry to win and to 123 00:06:28,680 --> 00:06:32,479 Speaker 2: make a push, right, And I also like the fact 124 00:06:32,520 --> 00:06:35,280 Speaker 2: that no one takes themselves too seriously, right there are 125 00:06:36,000 --> 00:06:40,080 Speaker 2: self deprecation is the greatest form of not only comedy 126 00:06:40,160 --> 00:06:43,600 Speaker 2: but also of ways to be vulnerable. Sure, and no 127 00:06:43,680 --> 00:06:46,360 Speaker 2: one takes themselves too seriously and that's easy. 128 00:06:46,040 --> 00:06:47,080 Speaker 1: To rally behind. 129 00:06:47,120 --> 00:06:50,160 Speaker 2: And even the QB, right, even the QB, which matters 130 00:06:50,240 --> 00:06:54,360 Speaker 2: totally right, Yeah, I mean, let's not get mistaken, like 131 00:06:54,400 --> 00:06:56,680 Speaker 2: the QB sets the tone for the locker room, right, 132 00:06:57,160 --> 00:06:58,919 Speaker 2: it is what it is. You have your leaders on 133 00:06:59,000 --> 00:07:02,640 Speaker 2: offense and defense. This is a quarterback driven league. And 134 00:07:03,320 --> 00:07:06,240 Speaker 2: the way that he goes, the team goes, and we're 135 00:07:06,360 --> 00:07:08,239 Speaker 2: very fortunate to have the guy we have, not only 136 00:07:08,839 --> 00:07:11,840 Speaker 2: as a physical specimen in regards to sure what he's 137 00:07:11,880 --> 00:07:14,920 Speaker 2: able to do in his capabilities in the field, but 138 00:07:15,080 --> 00:07:16,920 Speaker 2: just the way he carries himself in the locker. 139 00:07:16,800 --> 00:07:21,160 Speaker 1: Room easy got to follow. Totally got you. I mean, 140 00:07:21,200 --> 00:07:23,800 Speaker 1: that's something that I heard you talking about during training 141 00:07:23,800 --> 00:07:27,040 Speaker 1: camp that's fascinating to me. And you were talking about 142 00:07:27,080 --> 00:07:31,040 Speaker 1: how I'm going to paraphrase you poorly, but how you 143 00:07:31,080 --> 00:07:35,040 Speaker 1: know you're physically at your best when you enter the 144 00:07:35,120 --> 00:07:38,880 Speaker 1: league and then once you get to the end, you 145 00:07:38,960 --> 00:07:41,920 Speaker 1: know so much more about it. And there's that intersection 146 00:07:42,040 --> 00:07:44,520 Speaker 1: you're waiting for. And I'm not saying it very well, 147 00:07:44,560 --> 00:07:45,080 Speaker 1: but you know I'm. 148 00:07:44,960 --> 00:07:45,280 Speaker 2: Talking to. 149 00:07:47,440 --> 00:07:50,559 Speaker 1: Is it better to be experienced or is it better 150 00:07:50,640 --> 00:07:54,040 Speaker 1: to be great physically? Or is it just I. 151 00:07:53,920 --> 00:07:58,840 Speaker 2: Think there is that line where they cross, right, And 152 00:07:58,880 --> 00:08:03,080 Speaker 2: I would say that's that's a really good question. 153 00:08:03,120 --> 00:08:06,400 Speaker 1: I think so well, something that if you watch the league, 154 00:08:06,440 --> 00:08:10,320 Speaker 1: you see guys go through it for every year and 155 00:08:10,480 --> 00:08:14,440 Speaker 1: handling it must just be well, I guess that's the job, right, That's. 156 00:08:14,360 --> 00:08:17,200 Speaker 2: Yeah, totally well. I think also, I mean even young 157 00:08:17,240 --> 00:08:21,400 Speaker 2: guys go through ailments and such, right, But well, I 158 00:08:21,400 --> 00:08:25,160 Speaker 2: believe what I said was, by the time you really 159 00:08:25,160 --> 00:08:27,600 Speaker 2: get to appreciate this game, you can't quite do what 160 00:08:27,680 --> 00:08:31,000 Speaker 2: you used to be able to do. It doesn't mean 161 00:08:31,040 --> 00:08:34,440 Speaker 2: you still can't do your job right, but you know 162 00:08:34,520 --> 00:08:37,200 Speaker 2: you're you bounce back so much quicker in recovery, and 163 00:08:37,240 --> 00:08:40,800 Speaker 2: you were just able to do these things that you 164 00:08:40,640 --> 00:08:42,840 Speaker 2: know you as his life. And I think it's a 165 00:08:42,880 --> 00:08:45,360 Speaker 2: microcosm of what the grand scheme of things are. Right. 166 00:08:45,440 --> 00:08:48,640 Speaker 2: So I don't know if there's totally a right answer 167 00:08:48,679 --> 00:08:51,080 Speaker 2: to that question. Is a very good question, and uh, 168 00:08:51,600 --> 00:08:53,319 Speaker 2: if I had time to think about it, i'd give 169 00:08:53,320 --> 00:08:55,440 Speaker 2: it to you. But maybe if you ask me again, 170 00:08:55,480 --> 00:08:57,319 Speaker 2: I'll have thought about it, because it's a very good question. 171 00:08:58,040 --> 00:09:02,480 Speaker 1: What's the and this is a bad question that you 172 00:09:02,559 --> 00:09:06,880 Speaker 1: know the key to offensive line play? Like you've been 173 00:09:06,880 --> 00:09:10,000 Speaker 1: doing this for a long time. I've been around offensive 174 00:09:10,040 --> 00:09:14,120 Speaker 1: lines that you know, we're not necessarily five all pro players, 175 00:09:14,400 --> 00:09:16,920 Speaker 1: but they were really good offensive lines, right, been around 176 00:09:16,920 --> 00:09:21,880 Speaker 1: the opposite too. What's the most important thing that offensive 177 00:09:21,920 --> 00:09:22,880 Speaker 1: line as a group can have. 178 00:09:24,000 --> 00:09:28,080 Speaker 2: Well, people like to say cohesiveness, right, Like you want 179 00:09:28,080 --> 00:09:31,040 Speaker 2: the same five guys playing together. But the reality of 180 00:09:31,080 --> 00:09:35,280 Speaker 2: the businesses, that's a rarity to play all seventeen plus 181 00:09:35,320 --> 00:09:38,960 Speaker 2: games with everyone together. But as long as everyone is 182 00:09:39,000 --> 00:09:41,800 Speaker 2: on the same page and sees the same thing or 183 00:09:41,800 --> 00:09:44,000 Speaker 2: how you're going to attack certain blocks in a certain 184 00:09:44,040 --> 00:09:50,280 Speaker 2: way or communicated in the proper way, I think that's 185 00:09:50,320 --> 00:09:51,320 Speaker 2: the most important thing. 186 00:09:51,679 --> 00:09:54,400 Speaker 1: What do you like about you know, aspect the team earlier, 187 00:09:54,480 --> 00:09:57,520 Speaker 1: but this group, this offensive line, every offensive line gets 188 00:09:57,520 --> 00:10:00,679 Speaker 1: so much scrutiny. It's the cruelest position should because one 189 00:10:00,720 --> 00:10:02,920 Speaker 1: bad play means you had an awful day, right, no 190 00:10:02,920 --> 00:10:08,760 Speaker 1: doubt so. But overall of this group, you know what's 191 00:10:08,800 --> 00:10:12,640 Speaker 1: going to be the key for you guys and say 192 00:10:12,640 --> 00:10:14,439 Speaker 1: how good can you be? But do you feel like 193 00:10:14,480 --> 00:10:18,120 Speaker 1: this can be a group that is the engine of 194 00:10:18,160 --> 00:10:18,679 Speaker 1: the offense? 195 00:10:19,600 --> 00:10:25,480 Speaker 2: Well, I think that those teams that make pushes have 196 00:10:25,679 --> 00:10:30,400 Speaker 2: a offense or defensive line or both. I would say 197 00:10:30,480 --> 00:10:36,640 Speaker 2: usually both that are the catalyst for the guys who 198 00:10:36,720 --> 00:10:38,920 Speaker 2: have more athletic ability to make plays. Whether it's the 199 00:10:38,920 --> 00:10:42,360 Speaker 2: back end of a defense or the skill position is 200 00:10:42,360 --> 00:10:48,120 Speaker 2: on offense. That's just the nature of the beast, right, 201 00:10:48,120 --> 00:10:51,960 Speaker 2: That's that's just the truth of it. I think what 202 00:10:52,000 --> 00:10:53,680 Speaker 2: you want to do is you want to be able 203 00:10:53,720 --> 00:10:56,400 Speaker 2: to be better the next week than you were before. 204 00:10:57,840 --> 00:11:00,000 Speaker 2: You know, you want to put your best foot forward 205 00:11:00,240 --> 00:11:03,640 Speaker 2: every week, and you know that the next week your footing, 206 00:11:03,679 --> 00:11:04,920 Speaker 2: you know that's going to be a better foot You 207 00:11:04,960 --> 00:11:07,040 Speaker 2: put for it, and you hope so. And that's just 208 00:11:07,120 --> 00:11:10,480 Speaker 2: striving you in practice and you go from there. 209 00:11:10,840 --> 00:11:14,480 Speaker 1: Did you feel like you guys established a base last week? 210 00:11:14,840 --> 00:11:18,600 Speaker 1: Good looks for three quarters? Certainly it looked like dominating 211 00:11:18,600 --> 00:11:20,720 Speaker 1: the run game. It looked like there was something to 212 00:11:20,720 --> 00:11:21,080 Speaker 1: build on. 213 00:11:21,640 --> 00:11:23,600 Speaker 2: Totally, Yeah, I think there wasn't. We don't want to 214 00:11:23,600 --> 00:11:27,000 Speaker 2: totally scrap what happened on the game. You know, we're 215 00:11:27,040 --> 00:11:28,680 Speaker 2: sick to our stomach on that we didn't end up 216 00:11:28,720 --> 00:11:30,880 Speaker 2: with a win. That's the only stat line that matter. Sure, 217 00:11:31,880 --> 00:11:33,720 Speaker 2: but you have to be constructive. There are things we 218 00:11:33,840 --> 00:11:35,960 Speaker 2: liked about it and uh and we're going to try 219 00:11:36,000 --> 00:11:37,080 Speaker 2: to just compound. 220 00:11:36,679 --> 00:11:40,800 Speaker 1: Those got you what's the key? And this again is 221 00:11:40,800 --> 00:11:44,240 Speaker 1: a little philosophical here, but the key to NFL longevity. 222 00:11:44,480 --> 00:11:47,240 Speaker 1: Like you've been playing ten years, I'm sure a lot 223 00:11:47,280 --> 00:11:48,960 Speaker 1: of guys that you came into the league with that 224 00:11:49,000 --> 00:11:53,319 Speaker 1: you probably thought were maybe better players totally aren't. Here anymore. 225 00:11:53,800 --> 00:11:54,520 Speaker 1: How do you do that? 226 00:11:55,800 --> 00:11:57,320 Speaker 2: I don't know if people are gonna like this answer, 227 00:11:57,320 --> 00:12:00,720 Speaker 2: but I think a lot of it's circumstantial. Like who 228 00:12:00,760 --> 00:12:03,000 Speaker 2: you end up with, you know, the first team you 229 00:12:03,040 --> 00:12:06,920 Speaker 2: go with, are they you know, nurturing in regards to 230 00:12:07,480 --> 00:12:09,760 Speaker 2: and nurturing a career, not so much your emotions, right, 231 00:12:09,880 --> 00:12:14,240 Speaker 2: like do they push you enough but also don't break 232 00:12:14,280 --> 00:12:18,040 Speaker 2: you in regards to your ability to be pliable and 233 00:12:18,800 --> 00:12:21,320 Speaker 2: to be the kind of you know, professional you can be. 234 00:12:22,040 --> 00:12:26,120 Speaker 2: You have to have luck with front offices being patient 235 00:12:26,240 --> 00:12:28,240 Speaker 2: or seeing you as a guy. And then you also 236 00:12:28,360 --> 00:12:31,520 Speaker 2: have to be a good teammate in the locker room 237 00:12:31,559 --> 00:12:34,160 Speaker 2: because those guys you have to be a special talent 238 00:12:34,200 --> 00:12:35,880 Speaker 2: to stick around if you're a kid, and right, like, 239 00:12:35,920 --> 00:12:37,520 Speaker 2: that's just the nature of it, right, and I wish 240 00:12:37,520 --> 00:12:39,600 Speaker 2: there was a better way to say it. And then 241 00:12:39,640 --> 00:12:41,440 Speaker 2: you also have to be a little bit fortunate with 242 00:12:41,480 --> 00:12:46,160 Speaker 2: injuries and you know everyone's gonna sustain them, sure, And 243 00:12:46,200 --> 00:12:50,520 Speaker 2: then you just have to be able to adapt, right 244 00:12:50,880 --> 00:12:55,239 Speaker 2: and no other it's situational. It's the grand scheme adapting 245 00:12:55,320 --> 00:12:59,800 Speaker 2: or daily adapting and do that. And then for me, 246 00:13:00,000 --> 00:13:02,840 Speaker 2: when I got married to my wife, who's my best buddy. 247 00:13:03,160 --> 00:13:05,760 Speaker 2: Life got a lot easier to and we got two kiddos, 248 00:13:05,800 --> 00:13:09,760 Speaker 2: and to have that opportunity to remove church and state 249 00:13:10,000 --> 00:13:12,200 Speaker 2: so that when I'm here, I'm fully in football. When 250 00:13:12,240 --> 00:13:15,640 Speaker 2: I'm home, I'm present dad, which is harder said than done, 251 00:13:15,720 --> 00:13:19,160 Speaker 2: because it's it's totally hard, I mean, for any profession 252 00:13:19,160 --> 00:13:20,920 Speaker 2: not to bring bad work days home. 253 00:13:21,080 --> 00:13:27,040 Speaker 1: Right. So a final question on these lines, it sounds 254 00:13:27,040 --> 00:13:29,400 Speaker 1: like you like where it's at, oh and one is 255 00:13:29,440 --> 00:13:31,600 Speaker 1: not where you want to be, but you like, uh, 256 00:13:32,800 --> 00:13:34,920 Speaker 1: the state of the franchise if you will after totally 257 00:13:35,440 --> 00:13:36,360 Speaker 1: after game? Why what? 258 00:13:38,440 --> 00:13:41,160 Speaker 2: I just like the I mean the last few days 259 00:13:41,160 --> 00:13:44,600 Speaker 2: of practice, the energy level was it was just like 260 00:13:44,640 --> 00:13:47,000 Speaker 2: I said, it was constructive. Yet there was a sense 261 00:13:47,000 --> 00:13:50,840 Speaker 2: of urgency, like everything you need to do after a 262 00:13:50,880 --> 00:13:53,480 Speaker 2: win or a loss, right Like if we had won 263 00:13:53,520 --> 00:13:56,439 Speaker 2: that game, there's still plenty of things to work on clothes, right. 264 00:13:56,480 --> 00:14:01,079 Speaker 2: So yeah, it's just it's it's a good locker to 265 00:14:01,120 --> 00:14:02,920 Speaker 2: be part of and to be it and this part 266 00:14:02,920 --> 00:14:06,280 Speaker 2: of my career and have this opportunity is a blessing. 267 00:14:06,400 --> 00:14:08,320 Speaker 1: Got you. Final thing we do we call it the 268 00:14:08,320 --> 00:14:12,120 Speaker 1: ozone five. It's five fast questions, Miss Morris.
