1 00:00:01,600 --> 00:00:04,040 Speaker 1: One of the things Joe was asked about in regard 2 00:00:04,120 --> 00:00:06,720 Speaker 1: to you was whether he sees you as a tackle 3 00:00:06,840 --> 00:00:09,160 Speaker 1: or a guard moving forward, and he said, I went back, 4 00:00:09,200 --> 00:00:11,320 Speaker 1: I watched the film. He's a tackle. Do you feel 5 00:00:11,360 --> 00:00:12,479 Speaker 1: like you're definitely a tackle? 6 00:00:13,760 --> 00:00:15,440 Speaker 2: To be honest with my opinion, as soon as I 7 00:00:15,480 --> 00:00:17,600 Speaker 2: stepped out of the mom I stepped out of offensive tackle. 8 00:00:17,920 --> 00:00:21,000 Speaker 2: And that's how I feel. And you know you asked 9 00:00:21,040 --> 00:00:24,040 Speaker 2: Joe the question. He gave you his analysis on where 10 00:00:24,040 --> 00:00:26,720 Speaker 2: he felt he felt like he sees me. So there 11 00:00:26,760 --> 00:00:27,120 Speaker 2: you have it. 12 00:00:28,560 --> 00:00:30,960 Speaker 1: He said, he went back to the Alabama film and 13 00:00:31,040 --> 00:00:33,720 Speaker 1: watched it saw a dominant player. Do you feel like 14 00:00:33,760 --> 00:00:36,520 Speaker 1: you've gotten better since your Alabama days? Do you feel 15 00:00:36,520 --> 00:00:39,360 Speaker 1: like you can be Obviously the competition gets better too, 16 00:00:39,560 --> 00:00:41,040 Speaker 1: So I'm asking, I guess, do you feel like you 17 00:00:41,040 --> 00:00:44,440 Speaker 1: can be as dominant here as you were at Alabama? 18 00:00:44,440 --> 00:00:44,839 Speaker 2: If that's what? 19 00:00:44,840 --> 00:00:46,280 Speaker 1: If that makes sense. 20 00:00:46,120 --> 00:00:48,680 Speaker 2: Of course I can. I've done. I put a lot 21 00:00:48,720 --> 00:00:51,440 Speaker 2: of dominant reps on tape. A lot of times they 22 00:00:51,640 --> 00:00:54,480 Speaker 2: go unnoticed, a lot of times the reps that I 23 00:00:54,480 --> 00:00:57,280 Speaker 2: struggled get highlighted. But if you really sit back and 24 00:00:57,480 --> 00:00:59,440 Speaker 2: watch the tape, I do a lot of good things, 25 00:01:00,000 --> 00:01:02,160 Speaker 2: a lot of dominant things on the football field that 26 00:01:02,200 --> 00:01:04,679 Speaker 2: a lot of times go unnoticed, but that's the nature 27 00:01:04,720 --> 00:01:06,880 Speaker 2: of them. Being an offensive lineman, you really don't notice. 28 00:01:06,920 --> 00:01:09,240 Speaker 2: You're not noticed until you know you mess up pretty much, 29 00:01:09,480 --> 00:01:10,840 Speaker 2: you know what I'm saying. So I mean, it is 30 00:01:10,840 --> 00:01:12,400 Speaker 2: what it is. I have to continue to get better. 31 00:01:13,360 --> 00:01:14,640 Speaker 2: I know I have a lot of work to do, 32 00:01:14,720 --> 00:01:16,520 Speaker 2: and I embrace it, you know, with a smile on 33 00:01:16,560 --> 00:01:18,360 Speaker 2: my face. So that's where I'm at. 34 00:01:18,920 --> 00:01:20,479 Speaker 1: Do you think you are to being back on the field. 35 00:01:21,200 --> 00:01:23,800 Speaker 2: I don't know. I'm just going to continue to do 36 00:01:23,840 --> 00:01:26,760 Speaker 2: everything that I can day to day, working with the trainers, 37 00:01:26,840 --> 00:01:30,440 Speaker 2: work my ass off, and whenever that day gets here, 38 00:01:30,680 --> 00:01:31,560 Speaker 2: that's when it gets here. 39 00:01:31,720 --> 00:01:34,319 Speaker 1: You're confident will be this season, or whenever that. 40 00:01:34,360 --> 00:01:36,800 Speaker 2: Day gets here that that's when it gets here.
