1
00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:02,080
Speaker 1: Hey, Shane, can you take us through the big spike

2
00:00:02,279 --> 00:00:04,480
Speaker 1: and what that was like for you, that whole play

3
00:00:04,559 --> 00:00:06,920
Speaker 1: kind of you know, getting your responsibility done and then

4
00:00:07,240 --> 00:00:10,440
Speaker 1: being able to celebrate it in your first NFL start. Yeah,

5
00:00:10,480 --> 00:00:12,880
Speaker 1: you know, um we had you know it was it

6
00:00:12,920 --> 00:00:15,480
Speaker 1: was a good, good cold run right there at the

7
00:00:15,560 --> 00:00:17,920
Speaker 1: end zone. You know, it's it's one of my first touchdowns.

8
00:00:17,920 --> 00:00:19,520
Speaker 1: You know, we had one before that, but that was

9
00:00:19,520 --> 00:00:22,000
Speaker 1: like our first running play touchdowns. So we were all

10
00:00:22,000 --> 00:00:24,200
Speaker 1: pretty juice. I was a juice and Wayne handing me

11
00:00:24,239 --> 00:00:26,160
Speaker 1: the ball, I didn't really know what to do with it,

12
00:00:26,640 --> 00:00:28,040
Speaker 1: so I was like, you know, what, spike it? So

13
00:00:28,080 --> 00:00:31,360
Speaker 1: I did. That's what happened, and uh, everyone's kind of making,

14
00:00:31,360 --> 00:00:32,640
Speaker 1: you know, giving me, give me a little bit of

15
00:00:32,680 --> 00:00:34,360
Speaker 1: hell for it because it was a bad spike. I

16
00:00:34,479 --> 00:00:36,280
Speaker 1: was just so juiced inside to be in the moment

17
00:00:36,360 --> 00:00:38,680
Speaker 1: that I just want to celebrate with my team, and

18
00:00:38,720 --> 00:00:41,040
Speaker 1: I thought that was pretty cool. Did I see people

19
00:00:41,040 --> 00:00:43,280
Speaker 1: calling you the Big Ox? Is that your nickname or something?

20
00:00:43,520 --> 00:00:45,199
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, back in Oregon, that was just like a

21
00:00:45,320 --> 00:00:51,120
Speaker 1: nickname they gave me. Yeah, got you like it? Thank you, man, Greig.

22
00:00:52,159 --> 00:00:54,080
Speaker 1: What was it like finally getting out there, and did

23
00:00:54,120 --> 00:00:55,800
Speaker 1: you feel like you had like a welcome to the

24
00:00:55,880 --> 00:00:59,400
Speaker 1: NFL moment, something that stands out from that game. Um,

25
00:00:59,760 --> 00:01:01,960
Speaker 1: I'll see it's a lot different. It's it was, you know,

26
00:01:02,320 --> 00:01:05,040
Speaker 1: I had my adrenaline was rushing pretty good, and um

27
00:01:05,080 --> 00:01:06,440
Speaker 1: but you know, I felt like I was prepared and

28
00:01:06,440 --> 00:01:07,880
Speaker 1: I felt like, you know, I was ready to handle

29
00:01:07,920 --> 00:01:09,880
Speaker 1: the task, and I didn't let the moment get too

30
00:01:09,880 --> 00:01:12,600
Speaker 1: big and I just played in my thing. I think

31
00:01:12,640 --> 00:01:15,560
Speaker 1: that every every play, even a practice, we see some

32
00:01:15,560 --> 00:01:18,960
Speaker 1: really good d linemen. So um, nothing really shocked me,

33
00:01:19,240 --> 00:01:21,160
Speaker 1: you know, but it is the NFL. So the guys,

34
00:01:21,200 --> 00:01:23,760
Speaker 1: every single player, you're going, it's the guys really good. Um.

35
00:01:23,959 --> 00:01:27,400
Speaker 1: So yeah, it sounds like the coaching staff had been

36
00:01:27,640 --> 00:01:29,560
Speaker 1: planning to kind of get you in there, you know

37
00:01:29,720 --> 00:01:32,959
Speaker 1: at some point too, even before Will had to be sadlined.

38
00:01:33,000 --> 00:01:34,880
Speaker 1: Was that something you were prepared for? And you know

39
00:01:34,880 --> 00:01:39,120
Speaker 1: in the recent weeks, I prepare every single every single day,

40
00:01:39,160 --> 00:01:41,959
Speaker 1: every single week, like I'm gonna start because uh, you know,

41
00:01:41,959 --> 00:01:44,080
Speaker 1: if you keep preparing, you prepare every single day, you

42
00:01:44,120 --> 00:01:45,520
Speaker 1: don't have to get ready. So if you stay ready,

43
00:01:45,520 --> 00:01:46,800
Speaker 1: you don't have to get ready. So I think I

44
00:01:46,840 --> 00:01:48,960
Speaker 1: have that kind of mantra. I just want to be

45
00:01:49,000 --> 00:01:51,320
Speaker 1: able to help the team is however I can whenever

46
00:01:51,360 --> 00:01:54,120
Speaker 1: my numbers called on and be able to provide, you know, uh,

47
00:01:54,240 --> 00:02:00,880
Speaker 1: supporting that wherever I've put Cam Shane. What have you

48
00:02:00,960 --> 00:02:04,920
Speaker 1: sort of Justin's first year in the league too, Have

49
00:02:05,000 --> 00:02:07,640
Speaker 1: you been paying much attention to what he's been doing. Yeah,

50
00:02:07,680 --> 00:02:09,600
Speaker 1: he's been doing a heck of a job. I'm pretty

51
00:02:09,600 --> 00:02:11,840
Speaker 1: good friends with Justin, and uh, he's been a good

52
00:02:11,919 --> 00:02:13,920
Speaker 1: numbers you know, And I thought I always thought that

53
00:02:13,919 --> 00:02:15,679
Speaker 1: he was a really good quarterback and excited to watch

54
00:02:15,720 --> 00:02:19,920
Speaker 1: him play. I'm happy for his success. And then just

55
00:02:20,000 --> 00:02:23,640
Speaker 1: in terms of you and your fellow rookies, do you

56
00:02:23,639 --> 00:02:27,119
Speaker 1: guys talk a lot about being rookies together and sort

57
00:02:27,120 --> 00:02:29,680
Speaker 1: of going through this journey together and and it seems

58
00:02:29,680 --> 00:02:33,040
Speaker 1: like you're all on different times, time frames, but but

59
00:02:33,160 --> 00:02:35,040
Speaker 1: on similar paths where you start to get a couple

60
00:02:35,080 --> 00:02:36,720
Speaker 1: of steps, a couple of steps and then and then

61
00:02:36,800 --> 00:02:39,880
Speaker 1: and then you're integrated boar into the into the game plans. Yeah,

62
00:02:39,919 --> 00:02:41,880
Speaker 1: you know, I think it's a tight knit group. Went

63
00:02:41,919 --> 00:02:45,200
Speaker 1: over you know, all offseason together doing virtual stuff and

64
00:02:45,240 --> 00:02:46,720
Speaker 1: there was a time period here when we got with

65
00:02:46,760 --> 00:02:49,160
Speaker 1: the giants, whether we were just the rookies only together.

66
00:02:49,200 --> 00:02:51,919
Speaker 1: So I think we have a pretty good bond um.

67
00:02:51,960 --> 00:02:53,359
Speaker 1: But you know, this is a weird year, so I think,

68
00:02:53,400 --> 00:02:55,679
Speaker 1: you know, everybody can rely on Vets for support, and

69
00:02:55,720 --> 00:02:58,400
Speaker 1: relying on other rookies has really helped us. But h yeah,

70
00:02:58,480 --> 00:03:00,600
Speaker 1: I'm really I'm really close with the other you alignment.

71
00:03:00,639 --> 00:03:02,600
Speaker 1: I'm happy to have those guys are really good guys,

72
00:03:02,639 --> 00:03:04,480
Speaker 1: and you know I I picked their brain. I'm sure

73
00:03:04,480 --> 00:03:08,720
Speaker 1: they picked mind sometimes too, so growing together every single day. Hey, Shane,

74
00:03:09,280 --> 00:03:11,480
Speaker 1: I think it was Coach Judge were earlier this week

75
00:03:11,600 --> 00:03:14,280
Speaker 1: talked about you and and said, you know about that

76
00:03:14,320 --> 00:03:17,160
Speaker 1: whole welcome to the NFL moment, that it was the

77
00:03:17,200 --> 00:03:21,040
Speaker 1: Dominican Sue who you see across from you. Um, I know,

78
00:03:21,240 --> 00:03:24,120
Speaker 1: necessarily there might not be a play, but as a rookie,

79
00:03:24,600 --> 00:03:26,840
Speaker 1: is there a transition where you have to shake that

80
00:03:27,000 --> 00:03:30,280
Speaker 1: early and the idea that it's not about the reputation

81
00:03:30,320 --> 00:03:31,920
Speaker 1: of the guy on the other side of the ball

82
00:03:32,000 --> 00:03:34,720
Speaker 1: and it's just breaking down guys for who they are.

83
00:03:35,000 --> 00:03:37,480
Speaker 1: You know, do you are you able to put their

84
00:03:37,600 --> 00:03:40,320
Speaker 1: names and their reputations out of the you know, out

85
00:03:40,320 --> 00:03:42,560
Speaker 1: of the picture or Is that a hard thing to

86
00:03:42,600 --> 00:03:45,560
Speaker 1: do as a rookie early on? Uh? You know, as

87
00:03:45,640 --> 00:03:48,080
Speaker 1: as a rookie, it's a lot different college. Every single week,

88
00:03:48,120 --> 00:03:51,440
Speaker 1: there's you know, a star study, defensive alignment. Every week.

89
00:03:51,480 --> 00:03:53,840
Speaker 1: There's there's not a drop off, you know, whether it's

90
00:03:53,960 --> 00:03:57,040
Speaker 1: Dompinkins Sue, whether it's Jonathan Allen. Everybody in this league

91
00:03:57,080 --> 00:03:58,720
Speaker 1: is good and you have to bring it every single week.

92
00:03:58,840 --> 00:04:01,240
Speaker 1: So that's the and we in transition. You know, it's

93
00:04:01,280 --> 00:04:03,000
Speaker 1: not like an organ you know, while I was back

94
00:04:03,000 --> 00:04:05,320
Speaker 1: in Oregon, we were playing Southern Utah. You know, it's

95
00:04:05,320 --> 00:04:07,600
Speaker 1: almost like a bye week. Every single week you gotta

96
00:04:07,640 --> 00:04:09,560
Speaker 1: go because there's there's guys in SLeague on every single

97
00:04:09,560 --> 00:04:13,040
Speaker 1: team that can play ball. Is there an off factor? Though?

98
00:04:13,200 --> 00:04:14,760
Speaker 1: I mean, do you have to put it out of

99
00:04:14,760 --> 00:04:18,800
Speaker 1: your mind? You're not treating it as a oh man,

100
00:04:18,880 --> 00:04:20,800
Speaker 1: it's it's the Dominican sue. What am I gonna do

101
00:04:20,839 --> 00:04:23,400
Speaker 1: here in my first career start? Yeah, you can't really

102
00:04:23,400 --> 00:04:26,280
Speaker 1: think about that, you know. It's at the same time,

103
00:04:26,279 --> 00:04:29,280
Speaker 1: you know, um, yeah, you can't really think about that.

104
00:04:29,880 --> 00:04:32,719
Speaker 1: I never tried to think about that. Shann coaches talked

105
00:04:32,760 --> 00:04:37,360
Speaker 1: about possibly rotating, you know, the guards like he's done

106
00:04:37,360 --> 00:04:40,159
Speaker 1: with the tackles and stuff. There's a school of thought

107
00:04:40,279 --> 00:04:43,000
Speaker 1: that you know, ideally you want to build the continuity,

108
00:04:43,000 --> 00:04:45,039
Speaker 1: you want to have the same guys in there for

109
00:04:45,120 --> 00:04:47,720
Speaker 1: all the snaps. Can you just talk a little bit

110
00:04:47,760 --> 00:04:50,720
Speaker 1: about why the rotation has kind of worked with the

111
00:04:50,760 --> 00:04:53,760
Speaker 1: tackles and then with the guards as well. What is

112
00:04:53,760 --> 00:04:56,800
Speaker 1: it about the coaching or maybe it's the scheme. I

113
00:04:56,800 --> 00:04:59,440
Speaker 1: don't know, but what is it that's made the rotation

114
00:05:00,040 --> 00:05:04,440
Speaker 1: seem less scary for you guys? Um? You know, I

115
00:05:04,640 --> 00:05:07,280
Speaker 1: really can't talk to that much, talk about that that much,

116
00:05:07,279 --> 00:05:10,320
Speaker 1: but I think, you know, it's keeping guys fresh. You know,

117
00:05:10,320 --> 00:05:12,560
Speaker 1: obviously Coach Judge and Coach Columbo and everybody has a

118
00:05:12,560 --> 00:05:14,839
Speaker 1: plan and it's their decision. But you know, I think

119
00:05:14,880 --> 00:05:17,800
Speaker 1: I think it probably helps us keep us fresh. Um.

120
00:05:17,880 --> 00:05:20,120
Speaker 1: But you know, it's just probably just getting guys more comfortable.

121
00:05:20,240 --> 00:05:22,240
Speaker 1: Like me getting out there that made me pretty comfortable.

122
00:05:22,279 --> 00:05:24,880
Speaker 1: So yeah, I don't know. That's I can't really speak

123
00:05:24,880 --> 00:05:28,400
Speaker 1: to that, and I've got to before you started this game.

124
00:05:28,720 --> 00:05:31,560
Speaker 1: Last game, you've got a fullback snap where you demanding

125
00:05:31,600 --> 00:05:34,520
Speaker 1: the ball in that huddle. No, I was just happy

126
00:05:34,520 --> 00:05:36,120
Speaker 1: to be out there. I was happy to be out there.

127
00:05:37,080 --> 00:05:41,440
Speaker 1: Had you ever played bull back before? Nope? No, never? Okay.

128
00:05:41,560 --> 00:05:44,440
Speaker 1: And the word that Colombo and Judge keep using for

129
00:05:44,480 --> 00:05:48,240
Speaker 1: you is nasty, nasty attitude. He plays with some nasty

130
00:05:48,320 --> 00:05:50,920
Speaker 1: Where does that come from? Like are you the younger

131
00:05:50,960 --> 00:05:54,120
Speaker 1: brother who got you know, beat up by your older brothers?

132
00:05:54,120 --> 00:05:57,800
Speaker 1: Like where does the nastiness come from from you? I

133
00:05:57,839 --> 00:05:59,800
Speaker 1: think I was just always taught to play football that,

134
00:06:00,080 --> 00:06:01,920
Speaker 1: you know. I think that's how oftensive line should be played.

135
00:06:02,560 --> 00:06:04,560
Speaker 1: Ever since I was young I started playing football. I

136
00:06:04,600 --> 00:06:05,960
Speaker 1: thought I was always taught, you know, if you make

137
00:06:05,960 --> 00:06:07,680
Speaker 1: a mistake and making a dent and just go fly

138
00:06:07,720 --> 00:06:09,880
Speaker 1: around and hit somebody. So I feel like that mom

139
00:06:09,920 --> 00:06:11,520
Speaker 1: just kind of stuck with me. And even at Oregon,

140
00:06:11,560 --> 00:06:14,359
Speaker 1: I kind of got that, you know. Um I was

141
00:06:14,520 --> 00:06:17,000
Speaker 1: rumored as like the physical guys. So I like that

142
00:06:17,040 --> 00:06:18,839
Speaker 1: part of the game and I kind of embrace it.

143
00:06:19,360 --> 00:06:19,400
Speaker 1: M
