1 00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:02,960 Speaker 1: Just got man handled on the greeting from the big man, 2 00:00:03,279 --> 00:00:05,880 Speaker 1: Bernard Ryman and his big meat hooks for hands. And 3 00:00:05,920 --> 00:00:08,080 Speaker 1: I'll tell you about man. I love that you're here. 4 00:00:08,119 --> 00:00:09,920 Speaker 1: And then the growth that you've shown in the last 5 00:00:09,960 --> 00:00:11,640 Speaker 1: couple of weeks. We spoke to you after the game 6 00:00:11,680 --> 00:00:14,239 Speaker 1: against Buffalo. This game isn't too fast for you, this 7 00:00:14,280 --> 00:00:16,439 Speaker 1: game is not too much for you. You're fitting in 8 00:00:16,520 --> 00:00:18,320 Speaker 1: nicely after a couple of weeks of camp in one 9 00:00:18,360 --> 00:00:20,960 Speaker 1: preseason game. How do you feel, Yeah, I'm getting more 10 00:00:20,960 --> 00:00:24,840 Speaker 1: and more comfortable. Obviously, it's been a dream for so 11 00:00:24,880 --> 00:00:27,240 Speaker 1: long to play in the NFL, and then sometimes you 12 00:00:27,320 --> 00:00:29,440 Speaker 1: make the game bigger and your hat than it actually is. 13 00:00:29,480 --> 00:00:32,160 Speaker 1: It's I mean, it's it's still football. It's still the 14 00:00:32,200 --> 00:00:34,960 Speaker 1: same game that with all following them up with years ago, 15 00:00:35,000 --> 00:00:39,000 Speaker 1: and yeah, it was a lot of fun playing And 16 00:00:39,040 --> 00:00:41,199 Speaker 1: then yeah, as I said, every day, I'm getting more comfortable, 17 00:00:41,320 --> 00:00:44,440 Speaker 1: learn new things, and and tell me about this. With 18 00:00:44,520 --> 00:00:46,440 Speaker 1: the offensive line unit, this is a tight group, one 19 00:00:46,440 --> 00:00:47,720 Speaker 1: of the best in the NFL. And you get a 20 00:00:47,760 --> 00:00:49,839 Speaker 1: lot of veterans and Pro bowlers around you. Are you 21 00:00:49,880 --> 00:00:51,360 Speaker 1: just trying to take this whole thing in and you're 22 00:00:51,360 --> 00:00:53,320 Speaker 1: asking a lot of questions waiting for them to talk. 23 00:00:53,640 --> 00:00:56,240 Speaker 1: Oh yeah, absolutely. I mean that's the great thing about 24 00:00:56,280 --> 00:01:00,000 Speaker 1: being here UM. No matter like who it is here 25 00:01:00,040 --> 00:01:02,480 Speaker 1: can you can learn from them. There's so many people 26 00:01:02,480 --> 00:01:04,319 Speaker 1: on the staff that's been here for years that you 27 00:01:04,319 --> 00:01:06,399 Speaker 1: can learn from and how to act as a pro. 28 00:01:06,760 --> 00:01:08,680 Speaker 1: There's so much you can learn from Coach Strousser and 29 00:01:08,959 --> 00:01:12,800 Speaker 1: coach Kevin Um just because their knowledge of from football, 30 00:01:12,800 --> 00:01:17,399 Speaker 1: of the position itself, and having coach Kevin there who 31 00:01:17,400 --> 00:01:20,120 Speaker 1: can actually explain from experience how to be you know, 32 00:01:20,240 --> 00:01:24,399 Speaker 1: the Hall of Fame, UM Garden Center, but it's just tremendous. 33 00:01:24,400 --> 00:01:27,000 Speaker 1: And then as you mentioned too, the position group themselves. 34 00:01:27,000 --> 00:01:29,840 Speaker 1: I mean, m as I said that you can really 35 00:01:29,920 --> 00:01:32,200 Speaker 1: learn something from everyone in this in this building. So 36 00:01:32,240 --> 00:01:34,119 Speaker 1: that's that's what I'm trying to do here too. I'm 37 00:01:34,200 --> 00:01:36,600 Speaker 1: just trying to learn from everyone and everything that I 38 00:01:36,640 --> 00:01:40,600 Speaker 1: can pick it all up. And yeah, Bernard, take me 39 00:01:40,640 --> 00:01:42,560 Speaker 1: back to last Saturday. I mean, you grew up as 40 00:01:42,600 --> 00:01:45,880 Speaker 1: a fourteen year old kid, you picked up football in 41 00:01:45,959 --> 00:01:49,080 Speaker 1: Austria and then you know, fast forward, you know, eight 42 00:01:49,160 --> 00:01:52,919 Speaker 1: years later, here you are and you're on an NFL field. 43 00:01:52,960 --> 00:01:55,280 Speaker 1: I know, it's the preseason. But how did that go 44 00:01:55,400 --> 00:01:57,200 Speaker 1: for you? What? What kind of emotions did you have 45 00:01:57,400 --> 00:02:00,360 Speaker 1: playing on an NFL game field in a stadium for 46 00:02:00,400 --> 00:02:03,520 Speaker 1: the first time. Yeah, I honestly can't even describe the 47 00:02:03,560 --> 00:02:05,760 Speaker 1: emotions I went through my head. There was There's been 48 00:02:05,800 --> 00:02:10,359 Speaker 1: so many ups and downs throughout the last years. I mean, no, 49 00:02:10,480 --> 00:02:13,280 Speaker 1: I got recruited to college, played UM tight end there, 50 00:02:13,280 --> 00:02:16,120 Speaker 1: and then two years ago a switch show to tackle. UM. 51 00:02:16,280 --> 00:02:20,320 Speaker 1: There's been so many you know, UM, so many obstacles 52 00:02:20,320 --> 00:02:23,480 Speaker 1: in the way of my dream of playing in the NFL, 53 00:02:23,560 --> 00:02:26,399 Speaker 1: and then finally being able to, you know, play even 54 00:02:26,400 --> 00:02:28,080 Speaker 1: if it's just a preseason game, but to play an 55 00:02:28,160 --> 00:02:31,600 Speaker 1: NFL game, which is unbelievable to me, And I was 56 00:02:31,600 --> 00:02:36,040 Speaker 1: just trying to take it all in. And obviously, UM, 57 00:02:36,040 --> 00:02:38,560 Speaker 1: playing an away game is obviously not as much fun 58 00:02:38,600 --> 00:02:40,560 Speaker 1: as as an home game. So I'm really looking forward 59 00:02:40,600 --> 00:02:43,919 Speaker 1: to this Saturday playing Alians at home. But it was 60 00:02:43,960 --> 00:02:47,160 Speaker 1: an unbelievable feeling. When you first picked up the game 61 00:02:47,200 --> 00:02:50,560 Speaker 1: again as a fourteen year old, did you have aspirations 62 00:02:50,560 --> 00:02:53,120 Speaker 1: of playing in the NFL. Was that an immediate dream 63 00:02:53,160 --> 00:02:56,880 Speaker 1: and goal of yours? Yes? Um, Well, when the first 64 00:02:57,040 --> 00:03:00,720 Speaker 1: started playing it, um, so that year actually started watching 65 00:03:00,760 --> 00:03:03,440 Speaker 1: it as well, and um started going getting into like 66 00:03:03,440 --> 00:03:06,480 Speaker 1: football movies and also watching the NFL. But even back 67 00:03:06,480 --> 00:03:09,000 Speaker 1: then it was a lot more difficult because the most 68 00:03:09,080 --> 00:03:12,200 Speaker 1: you can do is, um either pay for the NFL 69 00:03:12,639 --> 00:03:15,520 Speaker 1: game pass. So we had a couple We shared one 70 00:03:15,720 --> 00:03:17,920 Speaker 1: with my buddies because we didn't have like everyone had 71 00:03:17,919 --> 00:03:21,080 Speaker 1: that money to do it, right. UM. So we would 72 00:03:21,080 --> 00:03:23,960 Speaker 1: like watch like one or two games together a week. 73 00:03:24,520 --> 00:03:27,440 Speaker 1: But that's really much pretty all all we could do. UM. 74 00:03:27,520 --> 00:03:29,560 Speaker 1: So we never had the chance to sit in front 75 00:03:29,560 --> 00:03:32,280 Speaker 1: of the TV all Sunday and watch the games. UM. 76 00:03:32,320 --> 00:03:33,840 Speaker 1: But yeah, the more I got to watch it and 77 00:03:33,919 --> 00:03:35,320 Speaker 1: more I got to play it, I just wanted to 78 00:03:35,360 --> 00:03:38,240 Speaker 1: be in the NFL more and more. But to be 79 00:03:38,280 --> 00:03:41,120 Speaker 1: quite honest with you, UM, back then it kind of 80 00:03:41,160 --> 00:03:44,000 Speaker 1: seemed like it seemed just like a dream, like a 81 00:03:44,000 --> 00:03:46,840 Speaker 1: little bit too far out of reach. UM. So back 82 00:03:46,840 --> 00:03:49,800 Speaker 1: then I thought, you know, playing club football in Austria 83 00:03:49,920 --> 00:03:52,200 Speaker 1: with the Vienna Vikings was going to be the coolest 84 00:03:52,200 --> 00:03:58,840 Speaker 1: thing year. Really good they yeah, they're really good. Um. 85 00:03:58,880 --> 00:04:01,440 Speaker 1: They just started like a new league in Europe. You're 86 00:04:01,520 --> 00:04:04,720 Speaker 1: big over there, aren't you. Name Now I'm just saying 87 00:04:05,600 --> 00:04:07,400 Speaker 1: Ryman over there at Vienna, Vikings are going to go 88 00:04:07,400 --> 00:04:09,760 Speaker 1: oh yeah, oh yeah with the Colts, right. Um see, 89 00:04:09,760 --> 00:04:11,640 Speaker 1: I don't even know. I haven't been in three years. 90 00:04:11,880 --> 00:04:14,320 Speaker 1: Um yeah, last time I went was before COVID hit 91 00:04:14,360 --> 00:04:18,080 Speaker 1: and then yeah, um, you know, haven't been able to 92 00:04:18,279 --> 00:04:20,919 Speaker 1: get back to Austin because the travel restricts and I 93 00:04:20,920 --> 00:04:22,760 Speaker 1: wasn't able to If I was, I didn't know I 94 00:04:22,800 --> 00:04:25,000 Speaker 1: was able to come back, right, Um, So I couldn't 95 00:04:25,000 --> 00:04:27,320 Speaker 1: even answer you that. I want to ask you about 96 00:04:27,920 --> 00:04:30,400 Speaker 1: your athleticism. Like Matt alluded to you play tight end 97 00:04:30,400 --> 00:04:32,200 Speaker 1: a couple of years ago. I mean, wasn't that long ago. 98 00:04:32,200 --> 00:04:34,120 Speaker 1: You gotta be physical, you gotta be an athlete, gotta 99 00:04:34,120 --> 00:04:36,120 Speaker 1: be movie, gotta be fluid. Now you take that and 100 00:04:36,120 --> 00:04:38,120 Speaker 1: it's a physical, up in your face game right now. 101 00:04:38,320 --> 00:04:41,160 Speaker 1: Is your athleticism helping you on this level? Oh definitely? 102 00:04:41,200 --> 00:04:45,400 Speaker 1: I mean, um, it's obviously everyone is really athletic at 103 00:04:45,440 --> 00:04:48,680 Speaker 1: this level, um, like, no matter what position you play. 104 00:04:49,160 --> 00:04:50,880 Speaker 1: But I think for me, it's just having the background 105 00:04:50,880 --> 00:04:53,760 Speaker 1: as a tight end and um like, one one hand, 106 00:04:53,800 --> 00:04:55,479 Speaker 1: having the knowledge of what the tight ends are doing, 107 00:04:55,480 --> 00:04:58,080 Speaker 1: but then also having the athletic system. Um, I think 108 00:04:58,120 --> 00:05:00,720 Speaker 1: really helps me. Then also transition, like techniques that we 109 00:05:00,839 --> 00:05:03,280 Speaker 1: learn in the drill is also into the field, and 110 00:05:03,400 --> 00:05:05,640 Speaker 1: I think it definitely makes my life easier. How's this 111 00:05:05,720 --> 00:05:08,440 Speaker 1: camp going for you in terms of making that transition 112 00:05:08,480 --> 00:05:11,280 Speaker 1: from college to the NFL? And again, you know, we 113 00:05:11,520 --> 00:05:14,039 Speaker 1: know your story switching positions a couple of years ago 114 00:05:14,120 --> 00:05:16,880 Speaker 1: during the COVID season. What's been the toughest thing for 115 00:05:16,920 --> 00:05:19,080 Speaker 1: you to deal with, whether that's something mental or physical 116 00:05:19,160 --> 00:05:22,000 Speaker 1: in this camp. I mean, it's just for me, it's 117 00:05:22,000 --> 00:05:25,560 Speaker 1: just the hardest thing. It's just the difference between college 118 00:05:25,560 --> 00:05:30,000 Speaker 1: and pros is that every single step matters. And as 119 00:05:30,120 --> 00:05:33,159 Speaker 1: I mentioned before, like in college you sometimes get away 120 00:05:33,200 --> 00:05:35,000 Speaker 1: with taking a wrong step and then you can make 121 00:05:35,120 --> 00:05:37,480 Speaker 1: up for it. But you know, out running the guys, 122 00:05:37,600 --> 00:05:39,359 Speaker 1: you're just better than the guy across from you, right 123 00:05:40,080 --> 00:05:44,000 Speaker 1: in most cases. Yes, So that's just the difference here 124 00:05:44,040 --> 00:05:47,280 Speaker 1: is that everyone is on an elite level here um 125 00:05:47,360 --> 00:05:49,240 Speaker 1: and then especially the dns that we have on the 126 00:05:49,320 --> 00:05:53,159 Speaker 1: roster here, they don't forgive any mistakes. So just being 127 00:05:53,200 --> 00:05:56,279 Speaker 1: on the technique and then really taking every single step, 128 00:05:57,880 --> 00:05:59,960 Speaker 1: which starts with like you know, first movement and everything 129 00:06:00,800 --> 00:06:03,240 Speaker 1: has to be perfect in to get your job done. 130 00:06:03,440 --> 00:06:05,240 Speaker 1: So I think that's something that you definitely have to 131 00:06:05,240 --> 00:06:09,200 Speaker 1: get used to, and it's it's getting easy and easier 132 00:06:09,760 --> 00:06:12,640 Speaker 1: as a rookie in this, you know again coming from 133 00:06:12,640 --> 00:06:14,719 Speaker 1: where you came from to the highest level of football 134 00:06:14,839 --> 00:06:16,719 Speaker 1: right now, Like, give me a to do list? What's 135 00:06:16,720 --> 00:06:18,280 Speaker 1: a checklist for you? At the end of the day, 136 00:06:18,320 --> 00:06:19,960 Speaker 1: you know, you have to get ready for the next day. 137 00:06:20,040 --> 00:06:21,560 Speaker 1: You have to take in what you learned of the 138 00:06:21,640 --> 00:06:24,680 Speaker 1: day of that pace and everything, and there is some 139 00:06:24,680 --> 00:06:26,800 Speaker 1: sort of pressure on you guys. I mean there's guys 140 00:06:26,800 --> 00:06:29,080 Speaker 1: that are itching to play professional football for a living. 141 00:06:29,120 --> 00:06:31,400 Speaker 1: So your checkpoints and stuff you do at the end 142 00:06:31,400 --> 00:06:32,880 Speaker 1: of each day to get ready for the next is 143 00:06:32,920 --> 00:06:34,760 Speaker 1: that something that you have to do to break it 144 00:06:34,800 --> 00:06:37,600 Speaker 1: down and say, hey, I just one day at a time. Yeah, definitely. 145 00:06:37,640 --> 00:06:40,040 Speaker 1: I mean for me person, it's important to go through 146 00:06:40,080 --> 00:06:41,880 Speaker 1: the film one more time. Obviously if you go through 147 00:06:41,880 --> 00:06:45,640 Speaker 1: it with coach Strousser too, but I kind of like 148 00:06:45,720 --> 00:06:47,400 Speaker 1: to go back and then go over the notes as 149 00:06:47,400 --> 00:06:49,880 Speaker 1: I'm watching the film and then kind of really just 150 00:06:50,040 --> 00:06:55,240 Speaker 1: focus on every single step and then trying to get 151 00:06:55,240 --> 00:06:59,000 Speaker 1: the recovery in or some evenings splitting up my lifts. 152 00:06:59,600 --> 00:07:02,200 Speaker 1: Obviously you're not trying to lose much weight during camp, 153 00:07:02,279 --> 00:07:05,400 Speaker 1: so um, the lifts are important as well. And then 154 00:07:05,480 --> 00:07:07,880 Speaker 1: just everything you can do to stay on top of 155 00:07:07,920 --> 00:07:11,880 Speaker 1: you any like issues, so like doing the flexibility to exercises, um, 156 00:07:11,960 --> 00:07:16,720 Speaker 1: doing the stretching every night, and yeah okay big oh yeah, 157 00:07:16,840 --> 00:07:20,000 Speaker 1: absolutely get enough to eat around here, right? Oh yeah, okay, 158 00:07:20,040 --> 00:07:24,360 Speaker 1: that's Bernard Ryman with his rookie offensive tackle for the Colts. Um. 159 00:07:24,440 --> 00:07:27,840 Speaker 1: You mentioned those defensive ends. They're relentless and unforgiving at 160 00:07:27,880 --> 00:07:29,760 Speaker 1: this level. You know, one of the guys was just 161 00:07:29,880 --> 00:07:32,239 Speaker 1: right behind us a few moments ago. That's unique in goakway, 162 00:07:32,280 --> 00:07:35,520 Speaker 1: and he's one of the most consistent defensive ends of 163 00:07:35,520 --> 00:07:37,800 Speaker 1: the last couple of years. What has it been like 164 00:07:37,880 --> 00:07:40,400 Speaker 1: for you facing him? And how much better is he 165 00:07:40,480 --> 00:07:43,000 Speaker 1: making you so far in your rookie campaign here? Oh yeah, 166 00:07:43,080 --> 00:07:45,400 Speaker 1: he's definitely making all of us better every single day. 167 00:07:45,400 --> 00:07:48,960 Speaker 1: I mean, he's an elite pass rusher and going against 168 00:07:49,040 --> 00:07:51,320 Speaker 1: him in one on one, for example, is obviously a 169 00:07:51,400 --> 00:07:54,960 Speaker 1: huge challenge. Um, but you're holding your own against him now, 170 00:07:54,960 --> 00:07:57,640 Speaker 1: I've seen it more than just a handful of times, right, Well, yeah, 171 00:07:57,720 --> 00:08:00,240 Speaker 1: I mean definitely it's a it's just getting better, making 172 00:08:00,280 --> 00:08:03,080 Speaker 1: each other better, and going against him just makes it 173 00:08:03,120 --> 00:08:04,880 Speaker 1: that much easier than to go into the game or 174 00:08:04,880 --> 00:08:07,200 Speaker 1: pulling against other guys because he is on an elite 175 00:08:07,240 --> 00:08:10,480 Speaker 1: level rusher. Right. UM's you know, hard to come across. 176 00:08:10,600 --> 00:08:13,360 Speaker 1: Even in the NFL. Can a quarterback make the offensive 177 00:08:13,360 --> 00:08:15,600 Speaker 1: line better? Oh yeah, I would say so. Um, I 178 00:08:15,640 --> 00:08:18,720 Speaker 1: think just the confidence, um that the quarterback installments. So 179 00:08:18,760 --> 00:08:20,680 Speaker 1: how about this quarterback? I mean, it's fourteen years in 180 00:08:20,720 --> 00:08:22,480 Speaker 1: this league. You watch him as a kid, I'm sure 181 00:08:22,800 --> 00:08:25,440 Speaker 1: in Austria in some big games. Um yeah, I mean 182 00:08:25,560 --> 00:08:28,560 Speaker 1: I think you know, Matt's doing a tremendous job just 183 00:08:28,560 --> 00:08:30,480 Speaker 1: bring us together as a team and also leading us 184 00:08:30,640 --> 00:08:33,800 Speaker 1: um um on and off the field. I mean, um 185 00:08:33,840 --> 00:08:36,080 Speaker 1: for me personally coming in as as a rookie and 186 00:08:36,120 --> 00:08:38,480 Speaker 1: then um, I think my first day here and he 187 00:08:38,520 --> 00:08:40,160 Speaker 1: sat down with me at lunch and we just had 188 00:08:40,200 --> 00:08:43,839 Speaker 1: like a heart to heart unbelievable. It's important for a 189 00:08:43,920 --> 00:08:45,839 Speaker 1: rookie to have a sit down like that. I'm sure 190 00:08:45,840 --> 00:08:47,760 Speaker 1: that that made a big difference. It makes it made 191 00:08:47,760 --> 00:08:51,160 Speaker 1: a huge difference. Um obviously had to um that night, 192 00:08:51,240 --> 00:08:53,480 Speaker 1: had had to tell my dad about it. A huge 193 00:08:53,520 --> 00:08:55,800 Speaker 1: fan of had Ryan and I remember, you know, watching 194 00:08:55,800 --> 00:08:59,760 Speaker 1: with my dad and Austry watching him play. And I 195 00:09:00,360 --> 00:09:03,000 Speaker 1: mean same with um Nick and Sam like I think, 196 00:09:03,040 --> 00:09:05,720 Speaker 1: and Jack as well. I think all the quarterbacks they 197 00:09:05,800 --> 00:09:08,440 Speaker 1: all learned from Matt and um they all have a 198 00:09:08,559 --> 00:09:11,680 Speaker 1: huge um impact on how we play is an offensive 199 00:09:11,720 --> 00:09:14,480 Speaker 1: line and um yeah, I think they all really keep 200 00:09:14,480 --> 00:09:17,320 Speaker 1: their cool back there and trust us and reassure us 201 00:09:17,440 --> 00:09:20,480 Speaker 1: good feelings. You brought up your family right there. I mean, 202 00:09:20,679 --> 00:09:22,199 Speaker 1: what do they think of all of this? How how 203 00:09:22,240 --> 00:09:24,960 Speaker 1: proud are they of you in your journey and where 204 00:09:25,000 --> 00:09:27,080 Speaker 1: you are at this point? Yeah, I mean they're all 205 00:09:27,160 --> 00:09:31,560 Speaker 1: super excited. Um, they're really looking forward to coming during 206 00:09:31,559 --> 00:09:34,040 Speaker 1: the season two. Um, you know watching a game with 207 00:09:34,160 --> 00:09:38,880 Speaker 1: two and um yeah, my parents got the NFL game 208 00:09:38,920 --> 00:09:42,280 Speaker 1: pass or to um watch the games. Um. It's going 209 00:09:42,360 --> 00:09:43,840 Speaker 1: to be actually a little bit easier for them to 210 00:09:43,840 --> 00:09:45,720 Speaker 1: watch the games now because now that we play at 211 00:09:45,760 --> 00:09:48,040 Speaker 1: like three o'clock on the side, it's easy with the 212 00:09:48,120 --> 00:09:50,760 Speaker 1: time difference because they are six hours ahead. So yeah, um, 213 00:09:51,280 --> 00:09:53,640 Speaker 1: last season when we played the Maction games at seven 214 00:09:53,679 --> 00:09:56,880 Speaker 1: pm on a Tuesday too, my dad would still send 215 00:09:56,920 --> 00:09:58,800 Speaker 1: me a picture of him staying up I told the 216 00:09:58,800 --> 00:10:02,720 Speaker 1: middle of the Night bobcat And at Central Michigan Chipple 217 00:10:03,120 --> 00:10:05,280 Speaker 1: Tuesday night, Mac.
