1
00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:03,400
Speaker 1: You know, you've you've been on some winning teams. What's

2
00:00:03,400 --> 00:00:05,320
Speaker 1: it like. What's the mood of the locker room like

3
00:00:05,440 --> 00:00:08,440
Speaker 1: right now? Um? I think the mood is good. I

4
00:00:08,440 --> 00:00:10,719
Speaker 1: mean we're all just, uh, we know we gotta work

5
00:00:10,720 --> 00:00:13,000
Speaker 1: harder and um do better to pull out some of

6
00:00:13,039 --> 00:00:14,800
Speaker 1: these winds. But I mean, I don't think anything's gonna

7
00:00:15,040 --> 00:00:17,880
Speaker 1: get us down. Um. I think we're together as a

8
00:00:17,920 --> 00:00:19,680
Speaker 1: team and we're just ready to go out there and

9
00:00:19,680 --> 00:00:23,240
Speaker 1: work some more. Do you, as a veteran, do you

10
00:00:23,320 --> 00:00:26,120
Speaker 1: monitor that with the young guys? Do you you kind

11
00:00:26,120 --> 00:00:28,320
Speaker 1: of keep tips and checking on people to make sure

12
00:00:28,360 --> 00:00:31,560
Speaker 1: that their heads are on right at ollen spree? Um? No,

13
00:00:32,000 --> 00:00:35,200
Speaker 1: I think, Um, I think there's a there's a pretty

14
00:00:35,200 --> 00:00:37,920
Speaker 1: good consistence around that. We're all like, we're all keeping

15
00:00:37,920 --> 00:00:39,920
Speaker 1: our heads up and um just trying to trying to

16
00:00:39,920 --> 00:00:41,199
Speaker 1: go out there and working. I mean, I think this

17
00:00:41,280 --> 00:00:43,960
Speaker 1: is just a very very work focused team and we

18
00:00:44,040 --> 00:00:45,760
Speaker 1: know that we gotta do a little bit better, do

19
00:00:45,800 --> 00:00:47,720
Speaker 1: a little bit more to bring it all together. So

20
00:00:47,800 --> 00:00:50,559
Speaker 1: I don't think there's a need to just monitor anybody.

21
00:00:50,600 --> 00:00:55,440
Speaker 1: And how much responsibility does the offensive line take for this? Uh?

22
00:00:55,680 --> 00:00:58,160
Speaker 1: For the way the offensive struggling There's that old saying

23
00:00:58,280 --> 00:01:00,720
Speaker 1: right that when everything's going well, the office line don't

24
00:01:00,920 --> 00:01:03,280
Speaker 1: doesn't get enough credit. Well, this is the opposite side.

25
00:01:03,360 --> 00:01:05,959
Speaker 1: You feel like you're getting too much blame er. You

26
00:01:06,000 --> 00:01:09,680
Speaker 1: guys deserved that blame. Um, I mean well, us as

27
00:01:09,680 --> 00:01:11,880
Speaker 1: an offensive line, we'll take all the blame. We'll take

28
00:01:11,880 --> 00:01:14,680
Speaker 1: all the um, all the things that are being said

29
00:01:14,760 --> 00:01:17,040
Speaker 1: or whatever like. Um, I think we we truly believe

30
00:01:17,120 --> 00:01:19,920
Speaker 1: that the as as we go, the team goes. So

31
00:01:20,240 --> 00:01:22,520
Speaker 1: we're willing to take all the all the pressure on us,

32
00:01:22,560 --> 00:01:24,560
Speaker 1: all the burden on us. And if we if we

33
00:01:24,560 --> 00:01:26,319
Speaker 1: do we know, if we do what we need to do,

34
00:01:26,400 --> 00:01:29,600
Speaker 1: then we're going to see successes in offense. We focus

35
00:01:29,680 --> 00:01:32,920
Speaker 1: so much on Aaron Donald. How good are the rams

36
00:01:32,959 --> 00:01:35,440
Speaker 1: off the edges where you'll have to the guys you'll

37
00:01:35,480 --> 00:01:37,640
Speaker 1: have to go again. Um, they have a lot of

38
00:01:37,680 --> 00:01:40,480
Speaker 1: talent everywhere. I mean, they're they're a talented team. Obviously

39
00:01:40,520 --> 00:01:43,199
Speaker 1: Aaron Donald is a very special player. But uh, Leonard

40
00:01:43,240 --> 00:01:45,920
Speaker 1: Flood and people Calm both are are really good on

41
00:01:45,920 --> 00:01:48,840
Speaker 1: the edge. And we gotta we gotta hold up our

42
00:01:48,920 --> 00:01:51,040
Speaker 1: end of the bargain. That's tackles for sure. Obviously, the

43
00:01:51,440 --> 00:01:54,520
Speaker 1: running game has struggled greatly early this season. What's your

44
00:01:54,520 --> 00:01:58,800
Speaker 1: assessment on why. I think it's just, um, we just

45
00:01:58,840 --> 00:02:00,920
Speaker 1: need to execute better as it's team, I mean, especially

46
00:02:00,920 --> 00:02:03,080
Speaker 1: as an old line, we need to we need to

47
00:02:03,200 --> 00:02:08,600
Speaker 1: be a little bit more dominant and execute. And what

48
00:02:08,680 --> 00:02:11,000
Speaker 1: do you what do you like with what's the message

49
00:02:11,000 --> 00:02:12,800
Speaker 1: that the coaches are sending to you? Then? I mean

50
00:02:12,840 --> 00:02:15,000
Speaker 1: if you if you're just saying it's execution to how

51
00:02:15,120 --> 00:02:17,680
Speaker 1: how did they sort of get that out of you guys?

52
00:02:17,760 --> 00:02:22,080
Speaker 1: And UM, I don't know if it's the I mean

53
00:02:22,120 --> 00:02:23,799
Speaker 1: the coaches obviously it's their job to get it out

54
00:02:23,800 --> 00:02:25,080
Speaker 1: of us. But I mean, I think it's something that

55
00:02:25,080 --> 00:02:27,440
Speaker 1: we need to take up on our own, UM, to

56
00:02:27,600 --> 00:02:31,160
Speaker 1: just put a more physical mentality or I guess physical

57
00:02:31,160 --> 00:02:33,880
Speaker 1: picture out there on on tape or on the field.

58
00:02:34,280 --> 00:02:36,400
Speaker 1: Came you said that the mood of the team is good.

59
00:02:36,400 --> 00:02:38,880
Speaker 1: I mean, are you curious to see how the team

60
00:02:38,880 --> 00:02:40,880
Speaker 1: does respond this week because obviously last week was was

61
00:02:40,919 --> 00:02:44,359
Speaker 1: a rough one. Oh, I'm not curious at all. I mean,

62
00:02:44,400 --> 00:02:46,440
Speaker 1: I know, Um, I know what this team is made of.

63
00:02:46,480 --> 00:02:49,680
Speaker 1: I know what we're capable of. UM. And I think

64
00:02:50,320 --> 00:02:53,359
Speaker 1: I mean, I mean, I mean, I'm excited more than curious.

65
00:02:53,360 --> 00:02:55,120
Speaker 1: I guess I'm excited to see how we go out

66
00:02:55,120 --> 00:02:59,400
Speaker 1: there and play versus the Rams. So you think this

67
00:02:59,440 --> 00:03:01,440
Speaker 1: game will tell something about sort of the makeup of

68
00:03:01,480 --> 00:03:04,120
Speaker 1: this team. I mean I wouldn't. I wouldn't say that.

69
00:03:04,240 --> 00:03:07,120
Speaker 1: I think, um, everything, every game tells the makeup of

70
00:03:07,160 --> 00:03:10,800
Speaker 1: this team, and we just we just gotta keep pushing forward.

71
00:03:11,360 --> 00:03:15,519
Speaker 1: Just talk about offensive lines jelling, I mean, you guys

72
00:03:15,520 --> 00:03:19,160
Speaker 1: have three new guys on that group. I mean, is

73
00:03:19,200 --> 00:03:22,359
Speaker 1: it realistic to expect you guys to be jelling at

74
00:03:22,360 --> 00:03:26,760
Speaker 1: this point or is that something that will take time? Um,

75
00:03:26,800 --> 00:03:29,200
Speaker 1: I think it's extremely realistic. I mean I'm definitely one

76
00:03:29,200 --> 00:03:31,480
Speaker 1: of those new guys on the offensive line. Though. UM,

77
00:03:31,480 --> 00:03:34,960
Speaker 1: i'd like to think that the offensive line is i mean,

78
00:03:35,440 --> 00:03:39,200
Speaker 1: is forming, And UM, I don't think it's a it's

79
00:03:39,200 --> 00:03:41,400
Speaker 1: a time thing. I think if everybody's doing their job,

80
00:03:41,800 --> 00:03:44,119
Speaker 1: then we'll we'll jell, Like I don't think. I think

81
00:03:44,240 --> 00:03:46,400
Speaker 1: jelling is a little bit more of a myth in

82
00:03:46,400 --> 00:03:46,960
Speaker 1: my opinion,
