So I'm happy 66 00:02:42,600 --> 00:02:43,880 Speaker 2: for him. 67 00:02:44,040 --> 00:02:49,919 Speaker 4: Thank you.

We're only 77 00:03:13,120 --> 00:03:15,679 Speaker 2: going on day three. We haven't even been in pad yet. 78 00:03:15,680 --> 00:03:18,880 Speaker 2: But as on offense, we've been functioning really well from 79 00:03:18,880 --> 00:03:21,040 Speaker 2: the way I see it. As an offensive line, we've 80 00:03:21,040 --> 00:03:23,280 Speaker 2: been practicing well. So I feel like it's just us 81 00:03:23,320 --> 00:03:25,960 Speaker 2: continuing to get better every single day and just to 82 00:03:25,960 --> 00:03:28,040 Speaker 2: make the small improvements and those are going to add up. 83 00:03:28,040 --> 00:03:30,160 Speaker 2: You know, it's going to pay us off huge dividends 84 00:03:30,360 --> 00:03:32,320 Speaker 2: in the long haul. So I feel like the guy's 85 00:03:32,320 --> 00:03:35,120 Speaker 2: the limit for our offense and our team. For you 86 00:03:35,200 --> 00:03:37,960 Speaker 2: in particular, do you just, you know, with some of 87 00:03:38,000 --> 00:03:40,640 Speaker 2: the off season work that you clearly did, do you 88 00:03:40,720 --> 00:03:43,600 Speaker 2: just come into this camp with maybe a little more confidence? 89 00:03:44,280 --> 00:03:47,160 Speaker 2: The confidences always been there, just a matter of the repetitions. 90 00:03:47,200 --> 00:03:49,760 Speaker 2: You know what I'm saying this year two, I've seen everything. 91 00:03:50,040 --> 00:03:51,960 Speaker 2: I've been in the building for a while. I'm just 92 00:03:51,960 --> 00:03:54,000 Speaker 2: going out there and doing what I've been doing my 93 00:03:54,120 --> 00:03:55,480 Speaker 2: entire life, which is playing football. 94 00:03:56,360 --> 00:04:03,640 Speaker 1: Thank you, Evan, Bruce back, Hey, Evan, where did you 95 00:04:03,720 --> 00:04:06,440 Speaker 1: improve the most last year?

I feel a lot healthier, and I'm 99 00:04:19,080 --> 00:04:21,520 Speaker 2: a lot more comfortable in the offense as well, for sure. 100 00:04:23,000 --> 00:04:26,839 Speaker 1: What about your goals for improving Where would you like 101 00:04:26,880 --> 00:04:29,560 Speaker 1: to continue to excel. 102 00:04:29,720 --> 00:04:31,960 Speaker 2: In every facet of the game, whether it's past protection, 103 00:04:32,480 --> 00:04:34,279 Speaker 2: run blocking. You know, I want to be the absolute 104 00:04:34,400 --> 00:04:36,720 Speaker 2: best that I can be, and it's going to take, 105 00:04:36,760 --> 00:04:38,359 Speaker 2: you know, one day at a time, you know, putting 106 00:04:38,360 --> 00:04:39,680 Speaker 2: the work in, one day at a time. That's what 107 00:04:39,720 --> 00:04:41,440 Speaker 2: training camp is for, and it's going to lead into 108 00:04:41,480 --> 00:04:41,920 Speaker 2: the season. 109 00:04:43,480 --> 00:04:44,599 Speaker 3: Thank you, having good luck. 110 00:04:44,760 --> 00:04:45,240 Speaker 2: Thank you. 111 00:04:46,960 --> 00:04:51,440 Speaker 3: For a cover. Hey Evin, you just mentioned you're a 112 00:04:51,520 --> 00:04:54,920 Speaker 3: lot healthier, but people often forget when a guy has 113 00:04:54,920 --> 00:04:57,960 Speaker 3: an injury that, you know, they come back and play, 114 00:04:57,960 --> 00:05:01,600 Speaker 3: but they're not necessarily entirely up. How did you feel 115 00:05:01,600 --> 00:05:03,000 Speaker 3: like you were playing? Did you feel like you were 116 00:05:03,000 --> 00:05:05,200 Speaker 3: making a lot of progress last year before that mcl 117 00:05:05,480 --> 00:05:08,400 Speaker 3: and did that linger it all during the course of 118 00:05:08,400 --> 00:05:08,919 Speaker 3: the season? 119 00:05:09,680 --> 00:05:11,880 Speaker 2: Last year was last year, man, I'm really focused on 120 00:05:12,040 --> 00:05:15,200 Speaker 2: the twenty twenty three season, but I did feel like, 121 00:05:15,240 --> 00:05:17,240 Speaker 2: you know, it made it you know, more challenging, you 122 00:05:17,279 --> 00:05:19,160 Speaker 2: know for me, because I never you know, got hurt 123 00:05:19,240 --> 00:05:21,000 Speaker 2: during the season and had to play through it. So 124 00:05:21,040 --> 00:05:23,040 Speaker 2: I definitely feel like that was a factor. But I'm 125 00:05:23,040 --> 00:05:25,800 Speaker 2: not going to make any excuses, man, but that's the past. Man, 126 00:05:25,839 --> 00:05:28,800 Speaker 2: run the president now, and which. 127 00:05:28,640 --> 00:05:31,680 Speaker 3: Leads to this, how eager are you you put in 128 00:05:31,720 --> 00:05:32,839 Speaker 3: all this offseason work? 129 00:05:33,320 --> 00:05:34,560 Speaker 2: The pads are going on Tuesday. 130 00:05:34,640 --> 00:05:37,279 Speaker 3: How eager are you to get to that point of 131 00:05:37,320 --> 00:05:38,039 Speaker 3: the training camp. 132 00:05:38,480 --> 00:05:40,400 Speaker 2: I'm extremely eager, man, But that day's gonna get here 133 00:05:40,440 --> 00:05:42,040 Speaker 2: when it gets here.

Hey Evan, did you cut weight? Like, how 136 00:05:51,920 --> 00:05:54,400 Speaker 1: much weight did you cut getting in shape this offseason? 137 00:05:55,360 --> 00:05:57,960 Speaker 2: Probably about ten or fifteen pounds, so I definitely put 138 00:05:57,960 --> 00:06:00,800 Speaker 2: on more muscle and got more Leana. I waited in 139 00:06:00,880 --> 00:06:04,560 Speaker 2: for my this morning, not this morning, but whenever we 140 00:06:04,640 --> 00:06:06,680 Speaker 2: got here for training camp. We it was three forty five. 141 00:06:07,480 --> 00:06:09,520 Speaker 2: My fine way was three fifty three. So I shed 142 00:06:09,560 --> 00:06:11,080 Speaker 2: a few pounds, but I put on a lot more 143 00:06:11,160 --> 00:06:11,880 Speaker 2: muscle for sure. 144 00:06:13,400 --> 00:06:16,880 Speaker 1: What do you think you did so differently in your 145 00:06:16,920 --> 00:06:19,960 Speaker 1: regimen this off season from a training standpoint. 146 00:06:19,400 --> 00:06:19,800 Speaker 2: To do that? 147 00:06:20,000 --> 00:06:21,520 Speaker 1: Or did you just do more of what you had 148 00:06:21,520 --> 00:06:22,200 Speaker 1: already been doing? 149 00:06:22,360 --> 00:06:24,360 Speaker 2: Pretty much just been doing more of what I've always 150 00:06:24,440 --> 00:06:27,320 Speaker 2: been doing. I've always worked out hard. I've always trained 151 00:06:27,360 --> 00:06:29,520 Speaker 2: extremely hard, but one thing I can say, I was 152 00:06:29,560 --> 00:06:32,000 Speaker 2: a lot more conscious about my diet, Like I hired 153 00:06:32,000 --> 00:06:35,040 Speaker 2: a chef and it was really helpful in terms of 154 00:06:35,040 --> 00:06:37,400 Speaker 2: like just what I was putting in my body, just 155 00:06:37,440 --> 00:06:39,200 Speaker 2: having meals there for me so that way I didn't 156 00:06:39,240 --> 00:06:41,200 Speaker 2: have to think about eating. It was already there, ready 157 00:06:41,200 --> 00:06:42,680 Speaker 2: to go for me. So that was a big help.
