25
00:01:01,920 --> 00:01:04,240
Speaker 1: with being in the system, so you know, the attention

26
00:01:04,240 --> 00:01:06,280
Speaker 1: to detail is that much greater. And like I said before,

27
00:01:06,319 --> 00:01:08,640
Speaker 1: it's just it's a building cohesive union with the guys.

28
00:01:08,680 --> 00:01:10,560
Speaker 1: And I'm just happy to be here and I'm just

29
00:01:10,560 --> 00:01:13,759
Speaker 1: happy that we got um good work into How tough

30
00:01:13,840 --> 00:01:15,440
Speaker 1: was the end of last year for you, you you know,

31
00:01:15,520 --> 00:01:18,520
Speaker 1: getting COVID and maybe not playing as much towards the

32
00:01:18,600 --> 00:01:20,520
Speaker 1: end of the year. How how difficult was with the

33
00:01:20,600 --> 00:01:23,080
Speaker 1: end of the season for you? I mean, uh, you know,

34
00:01:23,200 --> 00:01:25,479
Speaker 1: that's one thing with football, it's just playing through adversity.

35
00:01:25,560 --> 00:01:27,240
Speaker 1: And that was my adversity going through the end of

36
00:01:27,240 --> 00:01:30,200
Speaker 1: the last season. And I'm just so um fortunate to

37
00:01:30,200 --> 00:01:32,160
Speaker 1: have a great group of guys around me that you know,

38
00:01:32,280 --> 00:01:34,479
Speaker 1: really rallied around me when you know, times got rough

39
00:01:34,480 --> 00:01:36,840
Speaker 1: for me, so um keeping it with STRIDEA just took

40
00:01:36,880 --> 00:01:39,360
Speaker 1: everything day by day. Um got out here, It took

41
00:01:39,360 --> 00:01:41,559
Speaker 1: everything day by day and try not to really dwell

42
00:01:41,640 --> 00:01:43,960
Speaker 1: on all that adversity because you know, I said, it

43
00:01:43,959 --> 00:01:45,800
Speaker 1: comes with football. So I'm just really fortunate to have

44
00:01:45,840 --> 00:01:47,040
Speaker 1: a group of guys that were really able to help

45
00:01:47,120 --> 00:01:49,559
Speaker 1: me how much? How much did all that experience you got,

46
00:01:50,000 --> 00:01:51,600
Speaker 1: you know, they kind of easy you into it and

47
00:01:51,760 --> 00:01:53,280
Speaker 1: gave you some snaps this time when I'm like, how

48
00:01:53,360 --> 00:01:54,680
Speaker 1: much of that do you think that helped you? As

49
00:01:54,720 --> 00:01:57,520
Speaker 1: you come into your second training camp? Um, it's amazing.

50
00:01:57,600 --> 00:02:00,320
Speaker 1: I mean experiences the one um teacher of all. That's

51
00:02:00,360 --> 00:02:03,440
Speaker 1: one thing um and song that comes to football. And

52
00:02:03,480 --> 00:02:08,200
Speaker 1: like I said, it's happy to be out here. You know,

53
00:02:08,520 --> 00:02:10,080
Speaker 1: they liked the way you look that they want you

54
00:02:10,120 --> 00:02:12,640
Speaker 1: to get bigger and stronger. That you know, added that

55
00:02:12,720 --> 00:02:15,079
Speaker 1: manifest itself going into your second year. Like I said,

56
00:02:15,160 --> 00:02:16,840
Speaker 1: coming in the second year, the attention to details just

57
00:02:16,880 --> 00:02:18,400
Speaker 1: that much more. And I knew what I had to

58
00:02:18,400 --> 00:02:20,640
Speaker 1: do coming into the off season. You get bigger, faster, stronger.

59
00:02:20,880 --> 00:02:22,880
Speaker 1: So I really took the onus to really work on

60
00:02:22,919 --> 00:02:25,200
Speaker 1: my craft and to work on those abilities and work

61
00:02:25,240 --> 00:02:27,120
Speaker 1: on the tangible things that I had, just to make

62
00:02:27,160 --> 00:02:29,760
Speaker 1: sure that I come um in here too, um not

63
00:02:29,880 --> 00:02:33,320
Speaker 1: having the same little latches here and then I did

64
00:02:33,400 --> 00:02:35,320
Speaker 1: last season. So right now, it's just come out here

65
00:02:35,320 --> 00:02:38,359
Speaker 1: and compete every single day. Um and just uh yeah,

66
00:02:38,400 --> 00:02:42,760
Speaker 1: like I said, girl with my guys not much bigger, arty, bigger, jeeus.

67
00:02:42,760 --> 00:02:46,520
Speaker 1: I can't remember all the time. Yeah, it was definitely

68
00:02:47,400 --> 00:02:52,639
Speaker 1: too yeah uh here, I probably just leaned up a

69
00:02:52,680 --> 00:02:55,080
Speaker 1: little bit more, put on my muscle mask, cup more fat. Um.

70
00:02:55,120 --> 00:02:57,800
Speaker 1: But like I said, any as the program just get bigger, fast, stronger.

71
00:03:00,040 --> 00:03:03,480
Speaker 1: Is the the starting right tackle spot really entice you?

72
00:03:04,480 --> 00:03:05,800
Speaker 1: I mean, like I said, every day and it's coming

73
00:03:05,840 --> 00:03:07,840
Speaker 1: out here to compete and grow with my guys. Um,

74
00:03:07,880 --> 00:03:09,480
Speaker 1: you know, I'm just willing to do anything for the

75
00:03:09,520 --> 00:03:11,960
Speaker 1: benefit of the team and all right now, I was

76
00:03:11,960 --> 00:03:14,959
Speaker 1: just taking it every east, day by day, just grow

77
00:03:15,040 --> 00:03:16,480
Speaker 1: with the opportunity to come out here and get better.

78
00:03:16,560 --> 00:03:18,799
Speaker 1: I think it's like I'm undreaming fifty snaps last year

79
00:03:18,800 --> 00:03:21,520
Speaker 1: on offenses that sounded about writing. I'm not too sure

80
00:03:21,520 --> 00:03:23,840
Speaker 1: a lot of the exact numbers. But every opportunity I

81
00:03:23,880 --> 00:03:25,239
Speaker 1: got out there on the field, my guys, it was

82
00:03:25,240 --> 00:03:26,959
Speaker 1: a blessing. When you look, you know, I'm sure you

83
00:03:27,120 --> 00:03:30,520
Speaker 1: don't liked every one of them. Um, what did you see? Um?

84
00:03:30,639 --> 00:03:33,760
Speaker 1: Obviously you know it's just working on my craft. Um,

85
00:03:33,840 --> 00:03:36,680
Speaker 1: you know, just building communication within the you know, five

86
00:03:36,720 --> 00:03:39,720
Speaker 1: guys on the field and even um, I was rotationalve

87
00:03:39,720 --> 00:03:43,000
Speaker 1: been working with the rotational tackle on camp as well,

88
00:03:43,120 --> 00:03:46,160
Speaker 1: just building a cohesive communication across the board. Um, you

89
00:03:46,200 --> 00:03:47,920
Speaker 1: know where I had a laps here and there, he

90
00:03:48,000 --> 00:03:49,920
Speaker 1: saw something to work better on for me when I

91
00:03:49,960 --> 00:03:52,480
Speaker 1: go back on the field. It's just probably extremeline communication

92
00:03:52,520 --> 00:03:54,400
Speaker 1: across the board. When he was bad, don't know, did

93
00:03:54,440 --> 00:03:57,120
Speaker 1: you get more action on offense? And I thought and

94
00:03:57,240 --> 00:03:59,600
Speaker 1: light of let's say last year at your sign now, Um,

95
00:03:59,760 --> 00:04:01,600
Speaker 1: I mean, and every single time I got called up,

96
00:04:01,640 --> 00:04:03,120
Speaker 1: I just thought it was a blessing to go out

97
00:04:03,120 --> 00:04:05,200
Speaker 1: there and just work on my craft. And you know, um,

98
00:04:05,320 --> 00:04:07,760
Speaker 1: just be one of a one of five on the

99
00:04:07,800 --> 00:04:11,000
Speaker 1: field was a ple Like doing side to side. We

100
00:04:11,080 --> 00:04:12,640
Speaker 1: were kind of in and out of the lineup. Was

101
00:04:12,760 --> 00:04:16,480
Speaker 1: that was that difficult at all? Um? Like do practice

102
00:04:16,720 --> 00:04:19,240
Speaker 1: through the preparation, Um, you know, switching from right to left.

103
00:04:19,440 --> 00:04:21,840
Speaker 1: Coaches do a great job gating prepared for that, Um

104
00:04:22,040 --> 00:04:23,720
Speaker 1: for the moment and um, you know, so when you

105
00:04:23,760 --> 00:04:25,960
Speaker 1: get out there, it's just really communicating with your guys

106
00:04:26,000 --> 00:04:29,240
Speaker 1: and then they're just going out there playing. I mean,

107
00:04:29,440 --> 00:04:32,280
Speaker 1: everybody answered out talking. Guys should talk every day. I'm

108
00:04:32,279 --> 00:04:35,200
Speaker 1: sure I've about true young guys who could possibly be

109
00:04:35,360 --> 00:04:38,240
Speaker 1: anchors attack off the team for a long time. You've

110
00:04:38,279 --> 00:04:41,120
Speaker 1: got something you guys for that's a goal maybe. I

115
00:04:49,800 --> 00:04:52,040
Speaker 1: testament to him and his work ethic. And for me

116
00:04:52,120 --> 00:04:53,599
Speaker 1: it's just for me to come out here and show

117
00:04:53,839 --> 00:04:56,840

Speaker 1: physically do on the field. Like I said, every day

127
00:05:20,040 --> 00:05:21,560
Speaker 1: is a single blessing. Every day is a day to

128
00:05:21,600 --> 00:05:23,520
Speaker 1: get better and work on your craft. And for me

129
