1 00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:01,760 Speaker 1: What's it like in your household? And you know, what 2 00:00:01,800 --> 00:00:04,800 Speaker 1: does the holiday mean to you? Okay, awesome? Yeah, sorry, 3 00:00:04,840 --> 00:00:07,360 Speaker 1: it sounded like you're going through a tunnel. Um. Yeah, 4 00:00:07,400 --> 00:00:10,840 Speaker 1: Thanksgiving is a great holiday because obviously it combines some 5 00:00:10,880 --> 00:00:16,439 Speaker 1: of my favorite things family, food, football. But really I 6 00:00:16,480 --> 00:00:19,720 Speaker 1: try to take the values of Thanksgiving, especially recently, and 7 00:00:19,760 --> 00:00:22,640 Speaker 1: just try to apply it to my everyday life. Just 8 00:00:22,840 --> 00:00:26,000 Speaker 1: try to practice, you know, an attitude of gratitude, as 9 00:00:26,040 --> 00:00:28,600 Speaker 1: I like to look at it and just be thankful 10 00:00:28,600 --> 00:00:31,680 Speaker 1: for every little thing because you know, just the fact 11 00:00:31,720 --> 00:00:33,880 Speaker 1: that we're we're here today and you know, our hearts 12 00:00:33,920 --> 00:00:36,640 Speaker 1: are beaten and we're able to go at it and 13 00:00:37,080 --> 00:00:40,160 Speaker 1: give it our best shot every single day is a 14 00:00:40,280 --> 00:00:45,479 Speaker 1: huge privilege and in honor, and so it means, it 15 00:00:45,520 --> 00:00:49,280 Speaker 1: means a lot to me. And the premise behind it is, 16 00:00:49,520 --> 00:00:53,040 Speaker 1: you know, especially when it comes to the aforementioned things, 17 00:00:53,080 --> 00:00:58,520 Speaker 1: it's great. That's great. So just as far so, looking 18 00:00:58,800 --> 00:01:02,840 Speaker 1: with football specifically, you've seen your playing time increase quite 19 00:01:02,840 --> 00:01:04,520 Speaker 1: a bit over the last month or so, and I'm 20 00:01:04,560 --> 00:01:06,959 Speaker 1: just wondering what you've learned and what you've kind of 21 00:01:07,400 --> 00:01:09,959 Speaker 1: you seen over the last month that has helped you 22 00:01:10,040 --> 00:01:12,319 Speaker 1: to grow as a player who is now you know, 23 00:01:12,360 --> 00:01:14,800 Speaker 1: worthy and able to play most of the snaps in 24 00:01:14,800 --> 00:01:19,160 Speaker 1: a given game. I'd say there's a lot of lessons 25 00:01:19,200 --> 00:01:21,440 Speaker 1: to be learned in general just playing in the National 26 00:01:21,440 --> 00:01:25,360 Speaker 1: Football League, and um, you know, I've definitely viewed that 27 00:01:25,440 --> 00:01:28,720 Speaker 1: as that experience of just playing lesson you know, just 28 00:01:30,319 --> 00:01:34,080 Speaker 1: just in general that this whole season. But um, you know, 29 00:01:34,120 --> 00:01:36,880 Speaker 1: I try to take lessons in everything I do, and 30 00:01:37,360 --> 00:01:41,600 Speaker 1: there's a lot of lessons to be had. It's tough. 31 00:01:42,000 --> 00:01:43,880 Speaker 1: I really don't know how to answer that without getting 32 00:01:43,920 --> 00:01:48,160 Speaker 1: too specific into the details, but yeah, I felt like 33 00:01:50,600 --> 00:01:54,560 Speaker 1: I was. It's just there's certain skills and attributes that 34 00:01:54,560 --> 00:01:55,920 Speaker 1: you got to learn at some point in your life, 35 00:01:55,920 --> 00:01:59,400 Speaker 1: and certain a certain point, it gives you an opportunity 36 00:01:59,440 --> 00:02:03,200 Speaker 1: to add a sword to your belt, and I try 37 00:02:03,240 --> 00:02:05,800 Speaker 1: to meet the most of the opportunity and you know, 38 00:02:06,960 --> 00:02:13,040 Speaker 1: use those lessons on the daily.

Yes, there were some great fight songs, 53 00:03:01,919 --> 00:03:06,720 Speaker 1: in particular Michigan's Hail to the Victors, and you already know. 54 00:03:06,919 --> 00:03:11,520 Speaker 1: Josh and I we're pretty ecstatic making sure everybody knows 55 00:03:11,680 --> 00:03:16,959 Speaker 1: that this is Michigan's fight song. Um that I always 56 00:03:16,960 --> 00:03:19,960 Speaker 1: an't interested in how the energy picks up, you know, 57 00:03:20,040 --> 00:03:22,360 Speaker 1: for all the guys when their song comes on and stuff. 58 00:03:22,400 --> 00:03:28,200 Speaker 1: So that was fun to see. Um. Arizona Cardinals on Sunday. Um, 59 00:03:28,560 --> 00:03:31,000 Speaker 1: when you when you've studied them this week, you know 60 00:03:31,040 --> 00:03:34,480 Speaker 1: the challenge ahead. What stands out to you about their offense? 61 00:03:34,720 --> 00:03:36,600 Speaker 1: You know that that is going to be a challenge 62 00:03:36,600 --> 00:03:40,160 Speaker 1: for you guys. Sonic coincidence that he's number one I 63 00:03:40,160 --> 00:03:43,600 Speaker 1: don't think you know, it starts with him, Kyler Murray. 64 00:03:43,800 --> 00:03:46,800 Speaker 1: He's a great athlete, great football player. Uh, you know, 65 00:03:46,840 --> 00:03:51,920 Speaker 1: he makes plays. They got a great arsenal of offensive weapons. 66 00:03:52,280 --> 00:03:55,480 Speaker 1: Their offensive line is obviously stout, especially at the center 67 00:03:55,560 --> 00:04:00,360 Speaker 1: position with a fellow Michigan man Mason Coole. So they 68 00:04:00,400 --> 00:04:02,920 Speaker 1: definitely present a lot of challenges to us and something 69 00:04:03,320 --> 00:04:06,520 Speaker 1: that you know, I'm looking forward to the opportunity just 70 00:04:06,560 --> 00:04:09,160 Speaker 1: to be able to compete again this Sunday. Uh. You know, 71 00:04:09,280 --> 00:04:12,880 Speaker 1: I'm extually thankful this week. Uh, not just because it's Thanksgiving, 72 00:04:12,960 --> 00:04:15,520 Speaker 1: but uh, just anytime you get to go out and 73 00:04:15,880 --> 00:04:19,839 Speaker 1: have that opportunity and be healthy. Um, there's opportunities that 74 00:04:19,920 --> 00:04:21,279 Speaker 1: you know, I was, I was talking about this the 75 00:04:21,320 --> 00:04:24,000 Speaker 1: other day. It's like they they're few and far between. 76 00:04:24,040 --> 00:04:25,880 Speaker 1: I mean, you're not going to have that many. I 77 00:04:25,880 --> 00:04:29,760 Speaker 1: guess the best way to look at it healthy strong years. 78 00:04:29,800 --> 00:04:31,840 Speaker 1: I mean just just look around. And you know, I 79 00:04:32,160 --> 00:04:35,560 Speaker 1: got my my td Rex shirt on today, uh to 80 00:04:35,600 --> 00:04:38,200 Speaker 1: pay homage to uh to Rex. You know, he's a 81 00:04:38,200 --> 00:04:41,640 Speaker 1: great teammate. So that that those two points so I 82 00:04:41,680 --> 00:04:45,720 Speaker 1: guess weren't really that linked, but um, I want to 83 00:04:45,800 --> 00:04:49,040 Speaker 1: make sure I mentioned Rex, because he's he's awesome and 84 00:04:49,160 --> 00:04:52,320 Speaker 1: I would love you to elaborate on it.

But yeah, 114 00:06:25,200 --> 00:06:30,400 Speaker 1: so thanks a munch cheese thank you makes for him 115 00:06:30,440 --> 00:06:35,719 Speaker 1: much you already, they'd says a happy belated Thanksgiving thank 116 00:06:35,760 --> 00:06:38,920 Speaker 1: you you as well. So we get the Michigan Fights song. 117 00:06:39,160 --> 00:06:41,920 Speaker 1: And I'm I'm curious how you feel about how the 118 00:06:42,279 --> 00:06:44,880 Speaker 1: team has faired this year two and three and it's 119 00:06:44,880 --> 00:06:46,960 Speaker 1: been kind of a struggle and people are talking about 120 00:06:47,000 --> 00:06:49,160 Speaker 1: hard by. I know you have important things like your 121 00:06:49,240 --> 00:06:51,400 Speaker 1: job to worry about what Michigan matters to you. I'm 122 00:06:51,440 --> 00:06:53,760 Speaker 1: just curious what you think about what's happening in Michigan 123 00:06:53,839 --> 00:07:01,200 Speaker 1: right now. Yeah, it's not the best start, obviously, and 124 00:07:01,240 --> 00:07:03,920 Speaker 1: this is a weird year in general. I'm not making excuses. 125 00:07:04,720 --> 00:07:06,800 Speaker 1: I'm just you know, pointing to the fact that it 126 00:07:06,920 --> 00:07:10,200 Speaker 1: is a legitimately crazy year. And I think they you know, 127 00:07:10,240 --> 00:07:14,080 Speaker 1: they lost four offensive linemen last year and and um, 128 00:07:14,200 --> 00:07:18,600 Speaker 1: like I said, not making these uses, but um, there's 129 00:07:18,680 --> 00:07:20,680 Speaker 1: there's certain things that you know, it's not always gonna 130 00:07:20,680 --> 00:07:23,720 Speaker 1: be perfect, and the competition that they're facing has been 131 00:07:23,720 --> 00:07:28,000 Speaker 1: pretty stiff so far, I'd say, um, and I think 132 00:07:28,040 --> 00:07:33,000 Speaker 1: they are starting to figure some things out, get it. Yeah, 133 00:07:33,320 --> 00:07:36,280 Speaker 1: I think they look great, especially in the finish against Rutgers. 134 00:07:36,280 --> 00:07:43,320 Speaker 1: So anytime you can beat those guys, it's awesome. Anytime 135 00:07:43,360 --> 00:07:45,880 Speaker 1: you can beat anybody, I guess it should say, like 136 00:07:45,960 --> 00:07:51,400 Speaker 1: to clarify that point, not just Rutgers and Mac, did 137 00:07:51,400 --> 00:07:55,120 Speaker 1: you want to finish yourself with one last question? Or yeah, 138 00:07:55,200 --> 00:07:58,000 Speaker 1: sure I got one? More So Chase as far as 139 00:07:58,280 --> 00:08:01,440 Speaker 1: Kyler Murray goes, does help at all that you guys 140 00:08:01,480 --> 00:08:04,240 Speaker 1: are going to be seeing him basically, you know you've 141 00:08:04,320 --> 00:08:07,760 Speaker 1: just had Josh Allen, Lamar Jackson, and Deshaun Watson in 142 00:08:07,840 --> 00:08:10,360 Speaker 1: quick succession. Who are all all of those guys? Are 143 00:08:10,400 --> 00:08:12,200 Speaker 1: you know, guys who can move and can throw and 144 00:08:12,440 --> 00:08:14,240 Speaker 1: you know, are you know generally just you know, really 145 00:08:14,240 --> 00:08:16,800 Speaker 1: solid all around quarterbacks. So does it help at all 146 00:08:16,840 --> 00:08:20,400 Speaker 1: getting kylair when you've already seen those guys so so recently. 147 00:08:21,840 --> 00:08:24,160 Speaker 1: I think it does, And I think there's certain lessons 148 00:08:24,160 --> 00:08:27,040 Speaker 1: that we could learn from playing DeShawn and playing Lamar 149 00:08:27,240 --> 00:08:31,520 Speaker 1: and even Patrick Mahomes earlier in the year. And that's 150 00:08:31,560 --> 00:08:33,800 Speaker 1: our job as a team and another. Coaches do a 151 00:08:33,840 --> 00:08:36,520 Speaker 1: great job of making sure that you know our game 152 00:08:36,520 --> 00:08:40,120 Speaker 1: plan adjustments and tweaking those things, and the players do 153 00:08:40,160 --> 00:08:42,640 Speaker 1: a great job of rallying around it. So it's just 154 00:08:42,920 --> 00:08:45,040 Speaker 1: it's a matter of just executing. Now. I feel like 155 00:08:45,080 --> 00:08:47,240 Speaker 1: we have some good targets for our team to hit 156 00:08:47,600 --> 00:08:50,800 Speaker 1: in general and the opportunities there, so it's up to 157 00:08:50,920 --> 00:08:55,680 Speaker 1: us what we do with it. Some thanks Chase
