00:00:08,720 --> 00:00:14,200
Speaker 1: Welcome to the Ozone Podcast with Jaguars senior writer John Oser.

2
00:00:14,720 --> 00:00:18,360
Speaker 1: All Right, welcome into this week's Ozone podcast with the

3
00:00:18,400 --> 00:00:20,759
Speaker 1: player who's been a huge story this year for the

4
00:00:20,840 --> 00:00:24,880
Speaker 1: Jaguars in an incredibly positive way, Jaguars offensive lineman. And

5
00:00:24,920 --> 00:00:26,680
Speaker 1: I have to say offensive lineman because I can't say

6
00:00:26,720 --> 00:00:29,960
Speaker 1: a specific position. Uh, Cole Van Landon and Cole, thanks

7
00:00:29,960 --> 00:00:33,200
Speaker 1: for joining us this week. Yeah, absolutely, and Uh we'll

8
00:00:33,240 --> 00:00:38,000
Speaker 1: get into your story this season, which is fascinating, But

9
00:00:38,240 --> 00:00:40,239
Speaker 1: tell me first about the team as you guys are

10
00:00:40,280 --> 00:00:43,360
Speaker 1: getting ready for Denver. The mindset of this team this week.

11
00:00:43,640 --> 00:00:48,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, absolutely. I think mindset wise, it hasn't really changed

12
00:00:48,159 --> 00:00:49,800
Speaker 2: kind of what's been going on all year, and it's

13
00:00:49,840 --> 00:00:52,760
Speaker 2: really a week by week basis. It's won and a

14
00:00:52,920 --> 00:00:57,279
Speaker 2: mentality continuing trying to grow as a team. You know,

15
00:00:57,400 --> 00:00:59,360
Speaker 2: every game now in December is a big game, right

16
00:00:59,440 --> 00:01:00,880
Speaker 2: and you know at the end of the day, we're

17
00:01:00,880 --> 00:01:03,240
Speaker 2: trying to come up with a W. And that's that's

18
00:01:03,320 --> 00:01:05,080
Speaker 2: kind of where our mindset is, is just going in

19
00:01:05,120 --> 00:01:07,039
Speaker 2: there and playing our best football all three phases.

20
00:01:07,480 --> 00:01:11,360
Speaker 1: The story of your season obviously is playing a bunch

21
00:01:11,400 --> 00:01:13,760
Speaker 1: of different positions. We'll get into specifics to that in

22
00:01:13,800 --> 00:01:16,240
Speaker 1: a bit, But that's sort of been the story of

23
00:01:16,280 --> 00:01:19,120
Speaker 1: the entire team, right, guys being able to step up

24
00:01:19,120 --> 00:01:22,880
Speaker 1: in situations, regardless of what people thought of them in

25
00:01:22,920 --> 00:01:28,120
Speaker 1: the off season. What is it about this team it's

26
00:01:28,160 --> 00:01:30,840
Speaker 1: been able to do that because obviously with so many

27
00:01:30,880 --> 00:01:33,920
Speaker 1: guys doing it, it's sort of in the water right right.

28
00:01:35,160 --> 00:01:37,120
Speaker 2: I definitely have to do with I think the talent

29
00:01:37,120 --> 00:01:39,479
Speaker 2: that they brought in here. I think this team is very,

30
00:01:39,560 --> 00:01:43,200
Speaker 2: very talented, and that goes from starters down. I think

31
00:01:43,200 --> 00:01:47,039
Speaker 2: that's been been a huge no drop off for whatever

32
00:01:47,080 --> 00:01:49,440
Speaker 2: position that is that guy's filling in. And I also

33
00:01:49,440 --> 00:01:51,560
Speaker 2: think it's just the confidence in the way this team plays,

34
00:01:51,680 --> 00:01:53,720
Speaker 2: right and we're very attacking, and we're all just trying

35
00:01:53,760 --> 00:01:55,680
Speaker 2: to play our best foot forward and through everything we

36
00:01:55,720 --> 00:01:57,640
Speaker 2: can for this team to win. And I think that

37
00:01:57,800 --> 00:01:59,960
Speaker 2: just is offense defense, no matter what the position is.

38
00:02:00,360 --> 00:02:01,600
Speaker 2: That's kind of been the mentality.

39
00:02:02,120 --> 00:02:05,880
Speaker 1: Is it a fair question to ask you what your

40
00:02:06,000 --> 00:02:07,040
Speaker 1: best position is?

41
00:02:09,040 --> 00:02:11,200
Speaker 2: You know, I really I can't say, you know, I've

42
00:02:11,200 --> 00:02:14,600
Speaker 2: honestly just played you know here there at all different positions,

43
00:02:15,120 --> 00:02:17,800
Speaker 2: but I've been primarily playing tackle now for a couple

44
00:02:17,800 --> 00:02:20,040
Speaker 2: of years. Later, and I would say that's probably where

45
00:02:20,040 --> 00:02:21,440
Speaker 2: I'm most comfortable. But at the end of the day,

46
00:02:21,520 --> 00:02:24,080
Speaker 2: playing football's football, and I've been just kind of attacking

47
00:02:24,120 --> 00:02:27,440
Speaker 2: any position that I'm put into as the same. And yeah,

48
00:02:27,520 --> 00:02:29,440
Speaker 2: technique and stuff's a little different, but at the end

49
00:02:29,440 --> 00:02:31,400
Speaker 2: of the day, we're playing football. Been doing offensive line

50
00:02:31,400 --> 00:02:33,840
Speaker 2: for a long time, right squadut there and do do

51
00:02:33,880 --> 00:02:34,480
Speaker 2: the best I can.

52
00:02:34,720 --> 00:02:37,520
Speaker 1: Now if I write it down, I can remember. Can

53
00:02:37,600 --> 00:02:41,880
Speaker 1: you tell me which positions, which games you started this year?

54
00:02:42,000 --> 00:02:43,360
Speaker 1: Or is this a case where you've got to know

55
00:02:44,080 --> 00:02:45,440
Speaker 1: and I go out there and do what you did.

56
00:02:46,400 --> 00:02:49,400
Speaker 2: So I've been just kind of, you know, kind of

57
00:02:49,400 --> 00:02:51,800
Speaker 2: finding out I was that like six man role. Knowing

58
00:02:51,840 --> 00:02:54,320
Speaker 2: now is going to kind of back up everything, you know,

59
00:02:54,400 --> 00:02:57,560
Speaker 2: kind of as it started the I mean, as guys

60
00:02:57,600 --> 00:02:59,440
Speaker 2: started getting hurt and stuff, I kind of had an

61
00:02:59,440 --> 00:03:01,600
Speaker 2: idea and just you know, show up Wednesday, get told

62
00:03:01,600 --> 00:03:05,720
Speaker 2: her I'm playing, and let's roll. Now. Who would have know?

63
00:03:05,800 --> 00:03:09,799
Speaker 1: You've played right tackle, left tackle, right guard, and left

64
00:03:09,800 --> 00:03:12,840
Speaker 1: guard this season and the big tackle. But a big

65
00:03:12,960 --> 00:03:17,800
Speaker 1: reason that you were six man coming in hurt during

66
00:03:17,840 --> 00:03:21,079
Speaker 1: training camp maybe set you back a little bit coming

67
00:03:21,120 --> 00:03:25,280
Speaker 1: into the season. Uh, talk about overcoming that. It had

68
00:03:25,320 --> 00:03:27,639
Speaker 1: to be disappointing at first, but you've sort of gone

69
00:03:27,680 --> 00:03:29,000
Speaker 1: through a lot in your career, but just talk about

70
00:03:29,000 --> 00:03:30,040
Speaker 1: overcoming that.

71
00:03:30,240 --> 00:03:33,040
Speaker 2: During the preseason, you know, it's hard, you know, training

72
00:03:33,080 --> 00:03:34,760
Speaker 2: camps the time when we always get the kind of

73
00:03:34,760 --> 00:03:37,280
Speaker 2: show what we have. And I felt like I was

74
00:03:37,320 --> 00:03:40,520
Speaker 2: playing pretty good football, and you know, they moved me

75
00:03:40,560 --> 00:03:42,000
Speaker 2: to gard on the first time my career in a

76
00:03:42,040 --> 00:03:45,280
Speaker 2: few years. I got hurt day two of that transition,

77
00:03:46,200 --> 00:03:48,520
Speaker 2: so I didn't really get to show much. I was,

78
00:03:48,760 --> 00:03:52,320
Speaker 2: you know, just kind of tacking my rehab, seeing what happens,

79
00:03:52,360 --> 00:03:54,400
Speaker 2: and then you know, hoping I'm able to give that

80
00:03:54,440 --> 00:03:55,920
Speaker 2: opportunity to go and to show what I really have.

81
00:03:56,080 --> 00:03:58,080
Speaker 2: So when I came back, I just you know, I

82
00:03:58,120 --> 00:04:00,840
Speaker 2: took the practices seriously, You're on skeleton whatever it is,

83
00:04:00,880 --> 00:04:03,000
Speaker 2: and just kind of playing my brand of football and

84
00:04:03,400 --> 00:04:06,160
Speaker 2: it's opening iron opportunities and that's kind of what evolved.

85
00:04:06,280 --> 00:04:10,000
Speaker 1: So do you have a feel for like everybody makes

86
00:04:10,040 --> 00:04:12,200
Speaker 1: a big deal out of what you're doing because it's impressive,

87
00:04:12,840 --> 00:04:15,000
Speaker 1: do you have a feel for how unique it is

88
00:04:15,400 --> 00:04:17,000
Speaker 1: or is that even a fair question?

89
00:04:19,040 --> 00:04:21,480
Speaker 2: I mean, I definitely understand it is and it's kind

90
00:04:21,480 --> 00:04:23,240
Speaker 2: of hard because I'm doing it because from an out

91
00:04:23,240 --> 00:04:26,080
Speaker 2: tide perspective, I do. You're like, yeah, I definitely would

92
00:04:26,080 --> 00:04:29,320
Speaker 2: be like while guys playing all those positions, But like

93
00:04:29,400 --> 00:04:31,240
Speaker 2: I said, for me, my mentality is I'm just out

94
00:04:31,279 --> 00:04:32,919
Speaker 2: there any way I can to just be on the

95
00:04:32,920 --> 00:04:35,400
Speaker 2: field and help this team win and whatever position that is.

96
00:04:35,440 --> 00:04:36,960
Speaker 2: And like I said, I'm just going to give everything

97
00:04:36,960 --> 00:04:40,240
Speaker 2: I have and ultimately that's really helped me play some

98
00:04:40,480 --> 00:04:43,240
Speaker 2: decent football and I'm just really trying to continue to

99
00:04:43,279 --> 00:04:44,880
Speaker 2: do that and week by week and just play my

100
00:04:44,920 --> 00:04:46,479
Speaker 2: best version of myself on the field.

101
00:04:46,720 --> 00:04:48,120
Speaker 1: And you talked about it a little bit when you

102
00:04:48,160 --> 00:04:49,640
Speaker 1: met with the media a couple of weeks ago, but

103
00:04:50,360 --> 00:04:53,440
Speaker 1: it's sort of I think you give some credit to

104
00:04:53,480 --> 00:04:56,640
Speaker 1: being able to do what you're doing, to having started

105
00:04:56,640 --> 00:04:59,000
Speaker 1: at one position in Green Bay and then moved when

106
00:04:59,040 --> 00:05:02,120
Speaker 1: you got here. I guess take me through your positional

107
00:05:02,240 --> 00:05:04,919
Speaker 1: journey again, if you could, if that's even a phrase.

108
00:05:05,080 --> 00:05:09,560
Speaker 2: Yes, in college, I was strictly I left tackle. I

109
00:05:09,600 --> 00:05:11,600
Speaker 2: got drafted in Green Bay. They did move me around

110
00:05:11,680 --> 00:05:13,640
Speaker 2: quite a bit. I was only there that year, and

111
00:05:13,680 --> 00:05:16,160
Speaker 2: then I got traded here and I was guard for

112
00:05:16,200 --> 00:05:17,960
Speaker 2: a year and then I showed up for OTAs in

113
00:05:17,960 --> 00:05:20,400
Speaker 2: twenty twenty three. They had me at right tackle and

114
00:05:20,440 --> 00:05:23,400
Speaker 2: that was primarily that until this OTAs when I got

115
00:05:23,440 --> 00:05:24,960
Speaker 2: here or the new staff got here.

116
00:05:25,160 --> 00:05:27,360
Speaker 1: Now is that one when you say you showed up

117
00:05:27,360 --> 00:05:30,560
Speaker 1: in twenty three, At that point you just kind of

118
00:05:30,600 --> 00:05:32,120
Speaker 1: do what they tell you to do, right, Yeah, you're

119
00:05:32,120 --> 00:05:32,680
Speaker 1: still yeah.

120
00:05:32,720 --> 00:05:34,440
Speaker 2: And I didn't play like a tackle when I was

121
00:05:34,440 --> 00:05:37,240
Speaker 2: here that year in twenty two, and this is they

122
00:05:37,320 --> 00:05:39,480
Speaker 2: kind of transitioned me out there, and I just embraced

123
00:05:39,480 --> 00:05:42,039
Speaker 2: the role. And I'm just a guy that's constantly trying

124
00:05:42,040 --> 00:05:44,560
Speaker 2: to get better. So I mean I just really took

125
00:05:44,560 --> 00:05:47,320
Speaker 2: advantage of that opportunity, got some tackle snats, got some

126
00:05:47,400 --> 00:05:50,200
Speaker 2: more last year, and then at that point I just

127
00:05:50,320 --> 00:05:52,359
Speaker 2: knew where my confidence was and getting some more playing

128
00:05:52,400 --> 00:05:55,159
Speaker 2: time and understanding the game, like I'm ready to wherever

129
00:05:55,200 --> 00:05:56,880
Speaker 2: you want to plug me in. When this staff got here,

130
00:05:56,920 --> 00:05:58,960
Speaker 2: I told them right away, I will go wherever you

131
00:05:59,000 --> 00:05:59,480
Speaker 2: need me to go.

132
00:05:59,600 --> 00:06:01,800
Speaker 1: Like that Is that something where you went and made

133
00:06:01,839 --> 00:06:04,520
Speaker 1: a point to go tell Liam Line coach, Hey, I

134
00:06:04,560 --> 00:06:07,080
Speaker 1: doesn't make it clear. Yeah, I don't have to play

135
00:06:07,120 --> 00:06:07,640
Speaker 1: right tackle.

136
00:06:07,720 --> 00:06:09,000
Speaker 2: I can do whatever you guys need me to do

137
00:06:09,160 --> 00:06:12,039
Speaker 2: hundred percent. I think you know, this league really is

138
00:06:12,080 --> 00:06:14,720
Speaker 2: you got to earn everything, and you know, as a backup,

139
00:06:14,720 --> 00:06:16,440
Speaker 2: it's really hard. You know, you got to you got

140
00:06:16,480 --> 00:06:19,000
Speaker 2: to figure out your way, your edge and for me,

141
00:06:19,080 --> 00:06:21,320
Speaker 2: if that's what it is, that's what it is, and that,

142
00:06:21,440 --> 00:06:23,320
Speaker 2: like I said, that's kind of evolved into what it

143
00:06:23,400 --> 00:06:27,039
Speaker 2: is this year on expecting that, not expecting that, sure,

144
00:06:27,480 --> 00:06:29,240
Speaker 2: but uh yeah it's been great.

145
00:06:29,480 --> 00:06:33,240
Speaker 1: How do you get because clearly you've gotten better since

146
00:06:33,279 --> 00:06:35,520
Speaker 1: you were in Green Bay as a rookie six rounder,

147
00:06:35,600 --> 00:06:39,120
Speaker 1: even from when you were here at first as aligneman.

148
00:06:39,320 --> 00:06:43,080
Speaker 1: When you don't get reps in games, how do you

149
00:06:43,160 --> 00:06:45,800
Speaker 1: improve the way you have or I assume you feel

150
00:06:45,800 --> 00:06:48,599
Speaker 1: like you have improved a lot. How do you get

151
00:06:48,640 --> 00:06:51,560
Speaker 1: better as alignment when you're not in games? To get better?

152
00:06:51,760 --> 00:06:54,480
Speaker 2: I think just intentionality week the week. You know, if

153
00:06:55,320 --> 00:06:57,360
Speaker 2: I'm going to get into Trailon Walker and Josh Allen

154
00:06:57,400 --> 00:06:59,800
Speaker 2: every day and we're pointing each other out and we

155
00:06:59,839 --> 00:07:02,480
Speaker 2: know to one on one every single day, you know

156
00:07:02,760 --> 00:07:06,200
Speaker 2: that's gonna get you better. And I just think intentionality

157
00:07:06,360 --> 00:07:08,719
Speaker 2: and you really need to just have that focus to

158
00:07:08,800 --> 00:07:11,400
Speaker 2: improve because those are your reps throughout the week if

159
00:07:11,400 --> 00:07:13,000
Speaker 2: you're not out there on something to doing.

160
00:07:12,880 --> 00:07:16,640
Speaker 1: It most weeks this season when you've moved positions, have

161
00:07:16,760 --> 00:07:20,000
Speaker 1: you known early in the week it was a good possibility, Like.

162
00:07:20,000 --> 00:07:24,200
Speaker 2: I said, I think after the Houston game, after playing

163
00:07:24,200 --> 00:07:27,280
Speaker 2: guard that game and understanding them in the sixth man,

164
00:07:27,920 --> 00:07:29,960
Speaker 2: I think after injury and stuff, I like I said,

165
00:07:29,960 --> 00:07:33,760
Speaker 2: I had a good idea, but I didn't get confirmed Wednesday.

166
00:07:34,080 --> 00:07:35,560
Speaker 2: But then, yeah, you'd have the week of prep.

167
00:07:36,000 --> 00:07:37,920
Speaker 1: Is this going to be a new role in the NFL?

168
00:07:38,040 --> 00:07:38,400
Speaker 1: You think?

169
00:07:40,120 --> 00:07:42,240
Speaker 2: I mean yeah, I mean forevery It's.

170
00:07:42,080 --> 00:07:45,160
Speaker 1: Funny because it is incredibly necessary and you would think

171
00:07:45,160 --> 00:07:47,720
Speaker 1: it would have developed before. But this is a cool thing.

172
00:07:48,160 --> 00:07:50,840
Speaker 2: No, it definitely is. And you know, I definitely don't

173
00:07:50,840 --> 00:07:52,920
Speaker 2: think everyone can do it. You know, a lot of

174
00:07:52,960 --> 00:07:55,040
Speaker 2: teams do a swing guard or a swing tackle, and

175
00:07:55,560 --> 00:07:57,160
Speaker 2: you know, I think every team's different in that way

176
00:07:57,200 --> 00:07:58,800
Speaker 2: as well. And I just like I said, I've been

177
00:07:58,800 --> 00:08:01,120
Speaker 2: fortunate enough to you know, perform with the way I

178
00:08:01,160 --> 00:08:04,000
Speaker 2: have on the field, and it's just going to continue

179
00:08:04,080 --> 00:08:05,040
Speaker 2: doing my thing. Now.

180
00:08:05,120 --> 00:08:08,480
Speaker 1: The obvious elephant in the room is snapping. I know

181
00:08:08,560 --> 00:08:11,960
Speaker 1: you've snapped. You can't snap? How ready are you at

182
00:08:12,040 --> 00:08:13,440
Speaker 1: center if they ever had to be the case.

183
00:08:13,880 --> 00:08:16,880
Speaker 2: It's been a minute now. The Seattle game, I was

184
00:08:17,000 --> 00:08:20,200
Speaker 2: the backup center. You really prepared for that. I definitely

185
00:08:20,200 --> 00:08:21,520
Speaker 2: think I can do it, and I do take a

186
00:08:21,520 --> 00:08:23,960
Speaker 2: few snaps, so we just make sure I'm getting some snaps.

187
00:08:24,680 --> 00:08:26,720
Speaker 2: I had a lot of fun doing it, embrace the challenge.

188
00:08:26,720 --> 00:08:28,960
Speaker 2: I definitely think I could do it if I's necessary.

189
00:08:29,600 --> 00:08:32,400
Speaker 1: Is that a dramatically different thing than guard? I mean,

190
00:08:32,440 --> 00:08:35,360
Speaker 1: obviously it is because you're snapping, But for you, is it.

191
00:08:35,400 --> 00:08:37,719
Speaker 2: That's kind of like them all of what I've been doing. Yeah,

192
00:08:37,880 --> 00:08:39,760
Speaker 2: your sets and everything are a little different, right, But

193
00:08:39,760 --> 00:08:41,120
Speaker 2: at the end of the day, you're playing football, and

194
00:08:41,160 --> 00:08:43,439
Speaker 2: for me, you know, yeah, you're snapping the ball once

195
00:08:43,480 --> 00:08:46,360
Speaker 2: I ball snap, you're playing football catch. So I think

196
00:08:46,400 --> 00:08:48,319
Speaker 2: the big piece is the knowledge of the game on

197
00:08:48,480 --> 00:08:50,880
Speaker 2: playing center, and that's something I embraced earlier this year,

198
00:08:50,880 --> 00:08:53,240
Speaker 2: of learning your playbook in that way, and I think

199
00:08:53,280 --> 00:08:55,040
Speaker 2: at the end of the day, that's helped me, you know,

200
00:08:55,120 --> 00:08:56,839
Speaker 2: be a better guard and tackle as well.

201
00:08:57,120 --> 00:09:01,560
Speaker 1: Now, as much as this is a great story, do

202
00:09:01,600 --> 00:09:04,520
Speaker 1: you feel like you would like to get a position

203
00:09:04,600 --> 00:09:07,000
Speaker 1: and say, okay, this is where I'm at.

204
00:09:07,200 --> 00:09:08,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean ultimately, at the end of the day,

205
00:09:08,720 --> 00:09:11,200
Speaker 2: I think that's where we all work for sure, And

206
00:09:11,240 --> 00:09:12,960
Speaker 2: I think it's just I don't know, it doesn't make

207
00:09:13,040 --> 00:09:15,280
Speaker 2: life easier, but when you have week to week and

208
00:09:15,320 --> 00:09:17,080
Speaker 2: you can just hone in on the one position and

209
00:09:17,440 --> 00:09:19,559
Speaker 2: continue to grow and work on your craft, I definitely

210
00:09:19,559 --> 00:09:21,440
Speaker 2: think that helps you in the long run.

211
00:09:21,960 --> 00:09:23,920
Speaker 1: I think I have to make life easier a little bit.

212
00:09:24,080 --> 00:09:30,560
Speaker 1: So overall the perseverance that you've shown to do what

213
00:09:30,600 --> 00:09:34,160
Speaker 1: you're doing. Do you feel like you've shown that And

214
00:09:34,520 --> 00:09:38,839
Speaker 1: where does that come from? Yeah, meaning starting off with

215
00:09:38,880 --> 00:09:41,520
Speaker 1: a six round pick and then having to work to

216
00:09:41,559 --> 00:09:42,000
Speaker 1: get here.

217
00:09:42,600 --> 00:09:46,520
Speaker 2: Yeah. Like I said, I just think from early on,

218
00:09:46,640 --> 00:09:49,560
Speaker 2: I just I really learned how to grow fast that

219
00:09:49,760 --> 00:09:52,480
Speaker 2: this league really is everything is earned, okay, And that's

220
00:09:52,559 --> 00:09:56,240
Speaker 2: really my edge of just every day you never know

221
00:09:57,040 --> 00:10:00,520
Speaker 2: when it's your last player. Just I mean, this business

222
00:10:00,559 --> 00:10:03,040
Speaker 2: is tough, and I've just seen a lot, been through

223
00:10:03,080 --> 00:10:05,520
Speaker 2: a lot, and just know you never know. So I

224
00:10:05,559 --> 00:10:08,760
Speaker 2: just try and do everything percent and just at the

225
00:10:08,800 --> 00:10:09,960
Speaker 2: end of the day, when this is all done, I'm

226
00:10:09,960 --> 00:10:11,199
Speaker 2: want to look myself in the mirror and I've done

227
00:10:11,200 --> 00:10:12,160
Speaker 2: everything I can possible.

228
00:10:12,280 --> 00:10:16,400
Speaker 1: Right, So you got to feel like your ceiling when

229
00:10:17,120 --> 00:10:20,800
Speaker 1: you get to a spot where it's yours, your ceiling

230
00:10:20,880 --> 00:10:21,400
Speaker 1: is still hot.

231
00:10:21,800 --> 00:10:22,079
Speaker 2: Yeah.

232
00:10:22,120 --> 00:10:24,760
Speaker 1: Absolutely, I just think that what that is yet.

233
00:10:24,840 --> 00:10:26,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean I want to be able to put

234
00:10:26,360 --> 00:10:28,559
Speaker 2: the work in and you know, continue to grow and

235
00:10:28,600 --> 00:10:29,319
Speaker 2: who knows where that.

236
00:10:29,280 --> 00:10:32,360
Speaker 1: Takes the offensive line this year, you guys have been

237
00:10:32,360 --> 00:10:35,720
Speaker 1: a big part of it. Your ability to fill in

238
00:10:35,760 --> 00:10:39,800
Speaker 1: and be the depth. Why has this offensive line being

239
00:10:39,840 --> 00:10:41,720
Speaker 1: able to play at the level that it has all season?

240
00:10:41,720 --> 00:10:43,240
Speaker 1: What is it about your group? Your room?

241
00:10:43,920 --> 00:10:47,439
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think it's one aggressiveness. I think we're playing

242
00:10:47,440 --> 00:10:49,680
Speaker 2: at a level where you know, we're harping every week

243
00:10:50,080 --> 00:10:52,760
Speaker 2: how physical we need to be on the line. I

244
00:10:52,760 --> 00:10:54,600
Speaker 2: think the camaraderie is really there. I think we're a

245
00:10:54,600 --> 00:10:57,880
Speaker 2: really close group and when we're we're clicking on all

246
00:10:57,920 --> 00:10:59,280
Speaker 2: the cylinders. I think we can be in a very

247
00:10:59,320 --> 00:11:02,640
Speaker 2: elite group and we just every week we really pick

248
00:11:02,720 --> 00:11:04,880
Speaker 2: up the things that we need to work on. I'm gonna,

249
00:11:04,960 --> 00:11:06,880
Speaker 2: like I said, all starts of physicality. We get the

250
00:11:06,960 --> 00:11:08,880
Speaker 2: run game going and we need to protect Trevor and

251
00:11:08,960 --> 00:11:11,120
Speaker 2: we know what we need to do. It's been it's

252
00:11:11,160 --> 00:11:13,680
Speaker 2: been fun and like I said, every week we know

253
00:11:13,720 --> 00:11:15,640
Speaker 2: what we need to improve and there's always a higher

254
00:11:15,640 --> 00:11:18,320
Speaker 2: ceiling and we continue to strive to be great.

255
00:11:18,559 --> 00:11:22,440
Speaker 1: From the time the regime Biselli, Gladstone Cohen took over.

256
00:11:23,720 --> 00:11:26,800
Speaker 1: That's something they really talked about from the start. Physicality.

257
00:11:26,800 --> 00:11:29,800
Speaker 1: It's gonna be an offensive line centric, you know team

258
00:11:29,840 --> 00:11:32,160
Speaker 1: if you will. Uh did you feel that and did

259
00:11:32,160 --> 00:11:35,400
Speaker 1: that help? Is that something that you know, I guess

260
00:11:35,400 --> 00:11:36,880
Speaker 1: permeates the organization for you?

261
00:11:38,760 --> 00:11:40,880
Speaker 2: We know that we know that as a group many

262
00:11:40,880 --> 00:11:42,320
Speaker 2: footballs that have been a part of you know, the

263
00:11:42,360 --> 00:11:45,679
Speaker 2: whole line sets the example a little bit, and it's

264
00:11:45,800 --> 00:11:48,200
Speaker 2: very prevalent here that you know, what we need to

265
00:11:48,200 --> 00:11:51,280
Speaker 2: do on the field, sets a tone and we embrace that.

266
00:11:51,520 --> 00:11:54,080
Speaker 1: Got youah, I I think the dude's called the ozone.

267
00:11:54,080 --> 00:12:01,400

Speaker 1: We're gonna debscribe to that. Just to get that your

273
00:12:13,280 --> 00:12:16,880
Speaker 1: pregame ritual or song, anything that defines your pre.

274
00:12:16,800 --> 00:12:20,000
Speaker 2: Game, uh, pregame.

275
00:12:21,480 --> 00:12:23,079
Speaker 1: Or if you're just a guy going out and playing ball,

276
00:12:23,320 --> 00:12:23,840
Speaker 1: really just a.

277
00:12:23,840 --> 00:12:25,800
Speaker 2: Guy going out there and playing ball. I really try

278
00:12:25,840 --> 00:12:29,040
Speaker 2: and stay low key and not think about it and

279
00:12:29,120 --> 00:12:30,679
Speaker 2: just get ready to flip a specimen. Game time.

280
00:12:30,720 --> 00:12:34,640
Speaker 1: Collins got you, uh sport other than football that you

281
00:12:34,679 --> 00:12:35,280
Speaker 1: were best at?

282
00:12:36,000 --> 00:12:38,240
Speaker 2: Track and field? I was big in the shop. Put

283
00:12:38,280 --> 00:12:39,640
Speaker 2: in discuss growing up.

284
00:12:39,600 --> 00:12:44,720
Speaker 3: In high school awards, state state champion, figured out, figured

285
00:12:46,120 --> 00:12:50,320
Speaker 3: your athlete that you've most enjoyed seeing or want to

286
00:12:50,320 --> 00:12:52,439
Speaker 3: see athlete.

287
00:12:55,040 --> 00:12:57,400
Speaker 2: Honestly for me, I would honestly say, growing up, I

288
00:12:57,440 --> 00:12:59,960
Speaker 2: was in Green Bay Aaron Rodgers. It was really broad

289
00:13:00,080 --> 00:13:02,360
Speaker 2: far Varan Rodgers. It was really cool to see a

290
00:13:02,520 --> 00:13:04,800
Speaker 2: rod in his prime and then ultimately, you know, as

291
00:13:04,800 --> 00:13:07,000
Speaker 2: a player, to be a teammate with him. It was

292
00:13:07,040 --> 00:13:08,920
Speaker 2: pretty cool for all that to come in fluition. But

293
00:13:08,960 --> 00:13:11,800
Speaker 2: as a kid watching Aaron in his prime, football was

294
00:13:12,000 --> 00:13:12,520
Speaker 2: pretty cool.

295
00:13:12,840 --> 00:13:15,440
Speaker 1: Bacelli hopes all offensive lineman say him.

296
00:13:15,720 --> 00:13:21,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's the rioting answer. Your go to show as

297
00:13:21,360 --> 00:13:25,400
Speaker 2: a kid, go to show as a kid when I

298
00:13:25,440 --> 00:13:27,559
Speaker 2: was really young, Scooby doo. Okay, it's big in the
