1
00:00:00,720 --> 00:00:04,640
Speaker 1: How how different in a positive way has this off

2
00:00:04,680 --> 00:00:07,720
Speaker 1: season been for you, given that you spent the two

3
00:00:07,840 --> 00:00:11,639
Speaker 1: previous with, you know, undergoing surgeries getting yourself right physically.

4
00:00:12,320 --> 00:00:14,760
Speaker 1: Is it a refreshing off season now for you to

5
00:00:14,800 --> 00:00:18,520
Speaker 1: go into this healthy and how is that impacting you positively?

6
00:00:18,880 --> 00:00:21,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, definitely, just over the first part of off season.

7
00:00:21,600 --> 00:00:23,600
Speaker 2: Being able to run and jump, do a little line

8
00:00:23,680 --> 00:00:25,560
Speaker 2: training is something I'm not used to being able to

9
00:00:25,560 --> 00:00:28,800
Speaker 2: do after the first two seasons, So hopefully that translates

10
00:00:29,000 --> 00:00:29,880
Speaker 2: well during the season.

11
00:00:31,560 --> 00:00:32,400
Speaker 3: Thanks yep.

12
00:00:34,320 --> 00:00:35,120
Speaker 4: Art Stapleton.

13
00:00:37,840 --> 00:00:40,560
Speaker 5: Hey, Andrew, now that you know you're going and you've

14
00:00:40,560 --> 00:00:44,080
Speaker 5: been through this dance before going into the off season program,

15
00:00:44,560 --> 00:00:46,720
Speaker 5: have you changed your approach at all? I know obviously

16
00:00:46,720 --> 00:00:49,200
Speaker 5: you just mentioned you know you're rehabbing the last two years,

17
00:00:49,240 --> 00:00:52,200
Speaker 5: but what do you need to get out of your

18
00:00:52,240 --> 00:00:55,520
Speaker 5: off season right now to be ready for the summer

19
00:00:55,560 --> 00:00:58,920
Speaker 5: and how has that changed for you, you know, at

20
00:00:58,920 --> 00:00:59,960
Speaker 5: this point in your career.

21
00:01:00,280 --> 00:01:02,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, I would say the biggest thing this offseason just

22
00:01:02,360 --> 00:01:05,360
Speaker 2: working on strength, especially up our body strength. Just being

23
00:01:05,360 --> 00:01:07,080
Speaker 2: able to sit down on some of those bull rushes.

24
00:01:07,360 --> 00:01:09,280
Speaker 2: Sometimes you get out of position and you need root

25
00:01:09,319 --> 00:01:10,800
Speaker 2: strength just to be able to sit it down. So

26
00:01:11,240 --> 00:01:12,800
Speaker 2: working on that, and then just staying on top of

27
00:01:13,000 --> 00:01:18,319
Speaker 2: ankle mobility, hip mobility, stuff like that to keep mobiles.

28
00:01:18,640 --> 00:01:21,640
Speaker 4: Ye, Patti traina.

29
00:01:24,440 --> 00:01:25,480
Speaker 6: Hey, Andrew, can you hear me?

30
00:01:25,640 --> 00:01:25,840
Speaker 3: Yes?

31
00:01:25,840 --> 00:01:30,800
Speaker 6: I can, thank you Andrew. Given where the offense was

32
00:01:30,920 --> 00:01:33,319
Speaker 6: last year, I mean it surprised a lot of people.

33
00:01:33,360 --> 00:01:35,400
Speaker 6: What do you I know it's early, but what are

34
00:01:35,440 --> 00:01:38,720
Speaker 6: your expectations this year for the offense and particularly the

35
00:01:38,760 --> 00:01:40,040
Speaker 6: offensive line? In yourself?

36
00:01:40,400 --> 00:01:42,160
Speaker 3: Yeah, this is going to be a new combination, a

37
00:01:42,200 --> 00:01:43,040
Speaker 3: new group every year.

38
00:01:43,080 --> 00:01:46,000
Speaker 2: So the first thing just getting down the playbook, making

39
00:01:46,000 --> 00:01:49,320
Speaker 2: sure communication is top notch. Everyone needs to know to play,

40
00:01:49,400 --> 00:01:51,040
Speaker 2: know what to do, know where to go. And then

41
00:01:51,080 --> 00:01:54,720
Speaker 2: just building camaraderie as a unit and getting ready, you

42
00:01:54,720 --> 00:01:57,120
Speaker 2: know for mini camping and things coming up this season.

43
00:01:58,240 --> 00:01:59,960
Speaker 6: And then if I could just follow up real quick,

44
00:02:00,160 --> 00:02:03,600
Speaker 6: you mentioned a new combination that includes a new starting center.

45
00:02:03,800 --> 00:02:06,440
Speaker 6: Does that have much of an effect on you? Since you're,

46
00:02:06,600 --> 00:02:08,600
Speaker 6: you know, a couple of guys down from the center,

47
00:02:08,760 --> 00:02:10,880
Speaker 6: can you just talk about what kind of you know

48
00:02:11,160 --> 00:02:13,520
Speaker 6: effect having a new center in there does.

49
00:02:13,760 --> 00:02:16,560
Speaker 3: Yeah. Whoever takes that position, they're the leader, the leader

50
00:02:16,560 --> 00:02:16,960
Speaker 3: of the office.

51
00:02:16,960 --> 00:02:19,760
Speaker 2: A line they make all the calls, the night points,

52
00:02:19,800 --> 00:02:22,200
Speaker 2: things like that, So it's going to be a you know,

53
00:02:22,360 --> 00:02:23,480
Speaker 2: a big hole to feel.

54
00:02:23,960 --> 00:02:26,720
Speaker 3: Hopefully the guy is gonna, you know, come in be prepared.

55
00:02:26,800 --> 00:02:30,040
Speaker 2: But Coach Johnson trains us for everyone to know the

56
00:02:30,080 --> 00:02:32,480
Speaker 2: center position, to know where to go, so we can

57
00:02:32,520 --> 00:02:33,839
Speaker 2: help each other help each other out.

58
00:02:35,320 --> 00:02:41,920
Speaker 4: Thank you, Bob Burkover Andrew.

59
00:02:43,400 --> 00:02:46,239
Speaker 7: You obviously made a big leap from year one to

60
00:02:46,360 --> 00:02:51,160
Speaker 7: year two. Why do you think that wasn't How do

61
00:02:51,240 --> 00:02:54,799
Speaker 7: you think you can use your experience to help Evan

62
00:02:55,160 --> 00:02:57,600
Speaker 7: and his attempt to make a big jump from one

63
00:02:57,639 --> 00:02:58,600
Speaker 7: to year one to year two.

64
00:02:59,080 --> 00:03:00,880
Speaker 2: I think just taking it one day at a time,

65
00:03:01,280 --> 00:03:04,359
Speaker 2: not focusing so much on the results, focusing on the process.

66
00:03:05,120 --> 00:03:07,200
Speaker 2: Even like you said, I had a good year last year,

67
00:03:07,200 --> 00:03:08,640
Speaker 2: but there's so many things I want to get better

68
00:03:08,680 --> 00:03:11,000
Speaker 2: as a player and continue in that mindset is how

69
00:03:11,040 --> 00:03:11,600
Speaker 2: you get better.

70
00:03:12,040 --> 00:03:13,560
Speaker 3: And you know, like you said, I'll just do my

71
00:03:13,560 --> 00:03:15,880
Speaker 3: best to relate that to Evan. The whole O line

72
00:03:15,880 --> 00:03:17,040
Speaker 3: group will embrace them and.

73
00:03:16,960 --> 00:03:19,840
Speaker 2: Continue to work together because he's talented enough to be

74
00:03:19,919 --> 00:03:20,920
Speaker 2: really good in this league.

75
00:03:21,680 --> 00:03:24,600
Speaker 7: As he do. You guys communicated all in the off season.

76
00:03:24,639 --> 00:03:28,359
Speaker 7: Does he talk to you about Hey, what And that's

77
00:03:28,400 --> 00:03:30,600
Speaker 7: part of the process. But what can I do on

78
00:03:30,639 --> 00:03:33,160
Speaker 7: a daily basis to get better? If you guys communicated

79
00:03:33,200 --> 00:03:34,079
Speaker 7: about that during.

80
00:03:33,880 --> 00:03:35,840
Speaker 3: The off season, Yeah, we talked about it a little bit.

81
00:03:36,040 --> 00:03:37,880
Speaker 2: We were in different places, but I mean he's hit

82
00:03:37,920 --> 00:03:39,840
Speaker 2: me up on text message and talked about you know,

83
00:03:39,880 --> 00:03:43,040
Speaker 2: different you know, like players I watch and things like that,

84
00:03:43,160 --> 00:03:45,440
Speaker 2: and then like the coaches I might use sometimes just

85
00:03:45,480 --> 00:03:47,200
Speaker 2: to you know, critique technique stuff like that.

86
00:03:48,400 --> 00:03:50,360
Speaker 7: And the one other thing I wanted to ask you,

87
00:03:50,440 --> 00:03:53,760
Speaker 7: So you have the strange thing of where you bring

88
00:03:53,960 --> 00:03:56,680
Speaker 7: one of the top offensive tackles in the league, but

89
00:03:56,760 --> 00:04:00,000
Speaker 7: the offensive line as a whole is you know, obviously

90
00:04:00,120 --> 00:04:02,920
Speaker 7: it's somewhat subjective, but it has never really been rated

91
00:04:03,000 --> 00:04:05,680
Speaker 7: very high. How much does it bother you that the

92
00:04:05,720 --> 00:04:10,120
Speaker 7: offensive line as a whole has not yet come up

93
00:04:10,160 --> 00:04:13,680
Speaker 7: to where your level play is. And how do you

94
00:04:13,680 --> 00:04:16,880
Speaker 7: feel about the ratings that are out there from last year?

95
00:04:16,920 --> 00:04:17,839
Speaker 3: I go different.

96
00:04:18,000 --> 00:04:20,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, obviously we want to be the bill Cows of

97
00:04:20,400 --> 00:04:23,840
Speaker 2: the offense, and I think that starts with me. I

98
00:04:23,839 --> 00:04:26,640
Speaker 2: think if the whole unit is not playing well, then

99
00:04:26,640 --> 00:04:28,800
Speaker 2: what I'm doing doesn't matter. We have to be good

100
00:04:28,839 --> 00:04:30,080
Speaker 2: as a union if we want to win and go

101
00:04:30,120 --> 00:04:32,680
Speaker 2: deep into the playoffs. So the approach this year is

102
00:04:32,680 --> 00:04:35,880
Speaker 2: just getting better as a unit and making sure everybody's

103
00:04:35,920 --> 00:04:36,760
Speaker 2: on the same page.

104
00:04:38,600 --> 00:04:40,800
Speaker 3: Thank you all.

105
00:04:40,880 --> 00:04:41,360
Speaker 4: Schwartz.

106
00:04:43,120 --> 00:04:47,239
Speaker 8: Hey, Andrew, you've been in the league a few years now, obviously,

107
00:04:47,279 --> 00:04:50,160
Speaker 8: how long ago does it seem that you were involved

108
00:04:50,160 --> 00:04:52,120
Speaker 8: in this draft process that's going to be coming down

109
00:04:52,120 --> 00:04:53,040
Speaker 8: the next two weeks.

110
00:04:53,440 --> 00:04:55,279
Speaker 2: Yeah, it flew by. Honestly, I know it was a

111
00:04:55,279 --> 00:04:57,800
Speaker 2: while ago, but like it really it really flew by.

112
00:04:57,839 --> 00:05:00,240
Speaker 2: And just you know, I'm happy for the as you know,

113
00:05:00,279 --> 00:05:02,760
Speaker 2: getting the opportunity to I remember those days and obviously

114
00:05:03,240 --> 00:05:05,480
Speaker 2: ours wasn't as great just because of the COVID experience,

115
00:05:05,520 --> 00:05:07,520
Speaker 2: but you know, definitely was happy to be a part

116
00:05:07,520 --> 00:05:09,160
Speaker 2: of the giants, you know, when they when they picked me.

117
00:05:10,240 --> 00:05:12,320
Speaker 8: When you when you see these young guys coming in,

118
00:05:12,440 --> 00:05:14,080
Speaker 8: you know, the last few years and you'll see them

119
00:05:14,120 --> 00:05:16,000
Speaker 8: again in a few weeks, these guys coming and you

120
00:05:16,080 --> 00:05:19,040
Speaker 8: kind of like look to yourself and nod and say, yep,

121
00:05:19,200 --> 00:05:21,280
Speaker 8: you know, I remember that. I remember not knowing where

122
00:05:21,320 --> 00:05:23,120
Speaker 8: I was going, what I was doing. I mean, I mean,

123
00:05:23,520 --> 00:05:25,719
Speaker 8: and and is it kind of like you feel like

124
00:05:25,720 --> 00:05:27,599
Speaker 8: an older guy a younger guy, What do you feel

125
00:05:27,640 --> 00:05:27,960
Speaker 8: like now?

126
00:05:28,440 --> 00:05:32,359
Speaker 2: Definitely starting transition, you know, to the vet mindset. I

127
00:05:32,360 --> 00:05:34,360
Speaker 2: think I've done a good job of handling my business,

128
00:05:34,360 --> 00:05:36,760
Speaker 2: but the next the next step is being more vocal

129
00:05:36,800 --> 00:05:38,240
Speaker 2: and you know, breaking more gas with me.

130
00:05:39,800 --> 00:05:48,680
Speaker 4: Thank you? Yep, we'll take two more. Kim Jones, Hi, Andrew,

131
00:05:48,800 --> 00:05:49,359
Speaker 4: can you hear me?

132
00:05:49,440 --> 00:05:49,719
Speaker 6: Okay?

133
00:05:49,839 --> 00:05:50,360
Speaker 3: Yes, I can.

134
00:05:51,240 --> 00:05:51,520
Speaker 4: Great.

135
00:05:51,600 --> 00:05:55,440
Speaker 6: A year ago, you were really just getting started with

136
00:05:55,480 --> 00:05:57,719
Speaker 6: this new coaching staff and everything else.

137
00:05:58,080 --> 00:06:01,080
Speaker 4: To be in year two now and what your team

138
00:06:01,120 --> 00:06:05,719
Speaker 4: did accomplish last season, how does this year feel? Maybe

139
00:06:05,800 --> 00:06:07,280
Speaker 4: more normal? I don't want to put a word in

140
00:06:07,320 --> 00:06:09,840
Speaker 4: your mouth, but but you know, how does this year

141
00:06:09,880 --> 00:06:13,239
Speaker 4: feel now? Convening for the conditioning, Yeah.

142
00:06:13,040 --> 00:06:15,360
Speaker 2: It definitely helps, you know, seeing familiar faces and then

143
00:06:15,560 --> 00:06:17,880
Speaker 2: the scheme, the language and stuff like that. You're not

144
00:06:18,000 --> 00:06:20,520
Speaker 2: learning a whole new system. But it's still a new team,

145
00:06:20,640 --> 00:06:22,200
Speaker 2: a new group of guys. You know they're going to

146
00:06:22,240 --> 00:06:24,080
Speaker 2: be out there. That's just how it is. An NFL

147
00:06:24,240 --> 00:06:26,400
Speaker 2: changes every year, So we got to build all that

148
00:06:26,640 --> 00:06:29,400
Speaker 2: team coroaderie and stuff like that as if we're a

149
00:06:29,400 --> 00:06:30,160
Speaker 2: new team, because we are.

150
00:06:31,720 --> 00:06:38,920
Speaker 4: Thank you. Jordan rent On, Hey, Andrew, what's going on?

151
00:06:41,240 --> 00:06:43,520
Speaker 7: I'm wondering how much do you guys take notice when

152
00:06:43,560 --> 00:06:46,960
Speaker 7: guys like Saint Quan and Dexter aren't there as they

153
00:06:47,000 --> 00:06:48,839
Speaker 7: deal with their contract situations.

154
00:06:49,320 --> 00:06:52,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, honestly, that's a business thing, so personally, I don't,

155
00:06:52,960 --> 00:06:54,839
Speaker 2: you know, take too much account into it. I'm just

156
00:06:54,839 --> 00:06:58,640
Speaker 2: focusing on getting better every day and focusing on controlling

157
00:06:58,640 --> 00:06:59,560
Speaker 2: what I can control.

158
00:07:00,760 --> 00:07:03,200
Speaker 7: Do you think those things have any effect on the

159
00:07:03,240 --> 00:07:06,520
Speaker 7: locker room long term guys as that kind of deal

160
00:07:06,600 --> 00:07:08,480
Speaker 7: with the off the field stuff while you guys are

161
00:07:08,480 --> 00:07:10,200
Speaker 7: dealing with, you know, on the field stuff.

00:07:10,400 --> 00:07:10,960
Speaker 3: I don't think so.

163
00:07:11,080 --> 00:07:12,840
Speaker 2: This is my first time being a part of something

164
00:07:12,840 --> 00:07:14,840
Speaker 2: like that, so we'll see how it goes. But like

165
00:07:14,880 --> 00:07:16,640
Speaker 2: I said, just focusing on it, you know, getting better

166
00:07:16,640 --> 00:07:18,360
Speaker 2: each day, and those guys get here, you know when

Speaker 1: monitor that kind of situation with Saquan and Decks since

173
00:07:36,080 --> 00:07:38,000
