1
00:00:01,160 --> 00:00:06,600
Speaker 1: They'll see Yeah you guys good, good, everybody that's right.

2
00:00:06,920 --> 00:00:07,800
Speaker 1: So working at right tackle.

3
00:00:07,840 --> 00:00:10,600
Speaker 2: Obviously it's only been two days here, has that feel

4
00:00:10,640 --> 00:00:12,200
Speaker 2: knowing we saw you, you know, in both spoties a

5
00:00:12,200 --> 00:00:14,239
Speaker 2: different times last year in the short notes, Y's good.

6
00:00:14,240 --> 00:00:16,560
Speaker 2: I mean it's been a while obviously with everything last year.

7
00:00:16,600 --> 00:00:18,960
Speaker 2: But in my position, in this line of work, you

8
00:00:19,000 --> 00:00:20,799
Speaker 2: got to be prepared to play both sides, and so

9
00:00:21,600 --> 00:00:23,960
Speaker 2: you know, I'm here to prepare show the new coaches

10
00:00:23,960 --> 00:00:25,720
Speaker 2: that are here, all my teammates that I'm prepared to

11
00:00:25,720 --> 00:00:26,400
Speaker 2: do that if needed.

12
00:00:26,480 --> 00:00:28,400
Speaker 1: Do you have an expectation that you'll stay there?

13
00:00:29,080 --> 00:00:30,840
Speaker 2: I think my expectation is to come out and show

14
00:00:30,840 --> 00:00:32,760
Speaker 2: everybody what they didn't get to see last year obviously

15
00:00:32,800 --> 00:00:34,680
Speaker 2: with all the setbacks I had, and again I had

16
00:00:34,680 --> 00:00:36,520
Speaker 2: to miss a lot of the year, which was really frustrating.

17
00:00:37,159 --> 00:00:39,400
Speaker 2: So now I'm healthy, I'm big, I'm strong. I want

18
00:00:39,400 --> 00:00:42,920
Speaker 2: to show them all I'm capable of doing.

19
00:00:43,680 --> 00:00:44,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, I feel good.

20
00:00:44,440 --> 00:00:46,159
Speaker 2: I mean mentally it was a struggle, but now I

21
00:00:46,159 --> 00:00:48,960
Speaker 2: think I'm much stronger because of what I went through

22
00:00:49,040 --> 00:00:51,360
Speaker 2: last year. So I feel good and physically I feel

23
00:00:51,600 --> 00:00:54,960
Speaker 2: feel great, maybe the best I felt I know. Jacobi

24
00:00:55,040 --> 00:00:57,240
Speaker 2: might have a little more familiarity with this offense. But

25
00:00:57,360 --> 00:01:01,120
Speaker 2: how is Drake's command going in the huddle as communications

26
00:01:01,120 --> 00:01:01,440
Speaker 2: are on.

27
00:01:01,400 --> 00:01:02,080
Speaker 1: And off the field.

28
00:01:02,280 --> 00:01:04,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think all the qbs are doing a good job.

29
00:01:04,440 --> 00:01:06,840
Speaker 2: It's a new systems. It's new for Drake coming in,

30
00:01:06,880 --> 00:01:09,640
Speaker 2: it's new for Joe, new for all the guys. So

31
00:01:09,920 --> 00:01:12,840
Speaker 2: everybody's got an adjustment period. But I feel good about

32
00:01:12,840 --> 00:01:13,880
Speaker 2: how all the guys are handling that.

33
00:01:15,319 --> 00:01:21,399
Speaker 1: Is there a big from a coaching Yeah, it's it's

34
00:01:21,400 --> 00:01:21,640
Speaker 1: a help.

35
00:01:21,680 --> 00:01:23,399
Speaker 2: It's a help being around guys who have been around

36
00:01:23,400 --> 00:01:25,880
Speaker 2: it and just veterans in general. Veterans in general, I

37
00:01:25,920 --> 00:01:27,399
Speaker 2: think always helped the young guys and guys who are

38
00:01:27,480 --> 00:01:31,200
Speaker 2: new to a system familiar acclimate themselves to you know,

39
00:01:31,240 --> 00:01:33,280
Speaker 2: what we got going now, So it's different from last year.

40
00:01:33,280 --> 00:01:37,120
Speaker 2: I think everybody benefits from those older guys help people both.

41
00:01:42,920 --> 00:01:43,920
Speaker 1: That balances.

42
00:01:45,600 --> 00:01:47,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, we're just talking about this. It's these days are

43
00:01:47,720 --> 00:01:50,000
Speaker 2: important though. Obviously we ramp up into pads and so

44
00:01:50,080 --> 00:01:52,840
Speaker 2: this acclimation period is really important for all the mental reps.

45
00:01:53,320 --> 00:01:54,560
Speaker 2: The better you can do it when you have no

46
00:01:54,600 --> 00:01:56,000
Speaker 2: pads on, the easier it is when you do get

47
00:01:56,040 --> 00:01:58,520
Speaker 2: pads on. Obviously there's some limitations with not being able

48
00:01:58,520 --> 00:02:00,720
Speaker 2: to hit and stuff, but we benefit I think from

49
00:02:00,720 --> 00:02:10,120
Speaker 2: those days so much offensive challenge, yeah, present challenges. Maybe

50
00:02:10,160 --> 00:02:12,200
Speaker 2: that I'm a little more familiar with having played both

51
00:02:12,200 --> 00:02:14,080
Speaker 2: the right and lessons I first got into the league.

52
00:02:14,639 --> 00:02:15,919
Speaker 2: You know, that might be new for some guys, but

53
00:02:16,000 --> 00:02:18,079
Speaker 2: I think it's long term much more beneficial when you

54
00:02:18,120 --> 00:02:20,919
Speaker 2: have guys that are able to carry their their characteristics

55
00:02:20,919 --> 00:02:22,040
Speaker 2: over from one side to the other.

56
00:02:22,639 --> 00:02:23,840
Speaker 1: So I think that's important to learn.

57
00:02:23,880 --> 00:02:25,920
Speaker 2: It helps guys longer term down the line of their

58
00:02:25,919 --> 00:02:34,519
Speaker 2: career too. I don't know if I could put it

59
00:02:34,520 --> 00:02:37,440
Speaker 2: into words, man. I mean even last year, obviously coming

60
00:02:37,480 --> 00:02:40,480
Speaker 2: back from after missing training camp was was emotional, but

61
00:02:40,560 --> 00:02:42,720
Speaker 2: now it's it means so much more knowing than I

62
00:02:42,720 --> 00:02:45,680
Speaker 2: feel healthy and and ready to go. I don't have

63
00:02:45,720 --> 00:02:48,400
Speaker 2: time to bask in that feeling. But uh, I'm certain

64
00:02:48,400 --> 00:02:50,200
Speaker 2: that one day I'll look back and be grateful, you know,

65
00:02:50,480 --> 00:02:51,400
Speaker 2: having traversed all that.

66
00:02:51,639 --> 00:02:59,200
Speaker 1: But I'm focused now. Its time. No, I've moved on.

67
00:02:59,280 --> 00:03:00,600
Speaker 2: I mean, I've moved on, and I mean there will

68
00:03:00,639 --> 00:03:02,960
Speaker 2: be time to think about that in the future, but

69
00:03:03,000 --> 00:03:04,560
Speaker 2: I'm just glad to be back. Like I said, It's

70
00:03:04,560 --> 00:03:06,240
Speaker 2: been two years since I've been in in training camp,

71
00:03:06,280 --> 00:03:08,720
Speaker 2: which is crazy to think, but you know, I'm grateful

72
00:03:08,760 --> 00:03:14,440
Speaker 2: and excited to be back two years. Yeah, before I

73
00:03:14,480 --> 00:03:17,120
Speaker 2: delete social media, I literally said, it's been two years,

74
00:03:17,120 --> 00:03:18,839
Speaker 2: literally two years, So I'm in that mode.

75
00:03:19,040 --> 00:03:20,520
Speaker 1: It sounds like a good idea.

76
00:03:21,320 --> 00:03:23,920
Speaker 2: I recommend that for everybody, every young guy delete social

77
00:03:23,960 --> 00:03:25,000
Speaker 2: media during training camp.

78
00:03:25,639 --> 00:03:27,840
Speaker 1: Talking about coach Mayo, I mean, obviously we hear, we

79
00:03:27,960 --> 00:03:28,560
Speaker 1: see changes in.

80
00:03:28,639 --> 00:03:31,280
Speaker 2: Music, all these different things inside the building with something

81
00:03:31,360 --> 00:03:34,400
Speaker 2: new that he might be doing that's cultivated buy in

82
00:03:34,560 --> 00:03:37,040
Speaker 2: whatever level that is for you. Yeah, I would say

83
00:03:37,920 --> 00:03:40,320
Speaker 2: Mayo and anybody who's been around him enough will know

84
00:03:40,800 --> 00:03:43,120
Speaker 2: he puts an emphasis on relationship, and I think that

85
00:03:43,240 --> 00:03:46,160
Speaker 2: helps the team culture because you know, Mayo doesn't walk

86
00:03:46,200 --> 00:03:49,920
Speaker 2: around and I don't know how other head coaches are,

87
00:03:49,920 --> 00:03:52,280
Speaker 2: but Mayo walks around knowing his guys. So you walk around,

88
00:03:52,320 --> 00:03:54,400
Speaker 2: you feel like you have a personal relationship with him.

89
00:03:54,640 --> 00:03:56,440
Speaker 2: Makes it so much easier to buy. And obviously we're

90
00:03:56,440 --> 00:03:58,600
Speaker 2: we're on the field. You can feel him when he's

91
00:03:58,600 --> 00:04:00,880
Speaker 2: walking through and on us what we need to do.

92
00:04:00,960 --> 00:04:04,320
Speaker 2: So yeah, I appreciate that. It's definitely making the culture nice.

93
00:04:04,440 --> 00:04:06,920
Speaker 2: He's talked about the success this season is really figuring

94
00:04:06,920 --> 00:04:08,040
Speaker 2: out their foundation for the.

95
00:04:08,080 --> 00:04:09,880
Speaker 1: Future, and you're event you're in the last year of

96
00:04:09,920 --> 00:04:10,640
Speaker 1: your deals.

97
00:04:10,680 --> 00:04:13,480
Speaker 2: That relationship piece I helpe be like, hey, i might

98
00:04:13,520 --> 00:04:15,200
Speaker 2: not be that foundation, but I'm still going to give

99
00:04:15,240 --> 00:04:16,320
Speaker 2: you my all today.

100
00:04:16,520 --> 00:04:17,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean I would.

101
00:04:17,320 --> 00:04:21,520
Speaker 2: I would definitely say when you have a coach that

102
00:04:21,600 --> 00:04:24,640
Speaker 2: prioritizes that relationship part, which gets lost in business, in

103
00:04:24,680 --> 00:04:26,919
Speaker 2: business in general, and obviously in our business too, I

104
00:04:26,920 --> 00:04:28,919
Speaker 2: think it makes it brings you back to why we

105
00:04:29,040 --> 00:04:30,760
Speaker 2: love to play this game, which is the team aspect

106
00:04:30,760 --> 00:04:32,920
Speaker 2: of playing football. And so it's much easier to play

107
00:04:32,960 --> 00:04:34,480
Speaker 2: as a team when you have that relationship part. And

108
00:04:34,480 --> 00:04:37,440
Speaker 2: he emphasizes that, which I think everybody is much better

109
00:04:37,480 --> 00:04:42,080
Speaker 2: for starting all that.

110
00:04:42,440 --> 00:04:44,880
Speaker 1: How do you do that? How do you?

111
00:04:46,560 --> 00:04:48,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, competition is a part of our game, man, This

112
00:04:48,520 --> 00:04:50,640
Speaker 2: is this is this is what you love doing. Come

113
00:04:50,640 --> 00:04:52,800
Speaker 2: on the field and you get to compete, so you know,

114
00:04:52,800 --> 00:04:54,440
Speaker 2: you embrace that. Brings the best out of people when

115
00:04:54,480 --> 00:04:56,920
Speaker 2: you have competition. So, uh, you know, I'm excited about that.

116
00:04:57,760 --> 00:05:02,200
Speaker 2: I'm really excited. Yeah he's good. I mean, really, all

117
00:05:02,240 --> 00:05:04,640
Speaker 2: the rookies are good. You know, again, these guys are

118
00:05:04,640 --> 00:05:07,159
Speaker 2: transitioning from college level to the NFL, which is a

119
00:05:07,160 --> 00:05:11,559
Speaker 2: big jump. So I'm excited about all those guys development, Cayden, Laden,

120
00:05:11,600 --> 00:05:14,400
Speaker 2: all the young guys. Man Cayden and Laden is always funny.

121
00:05:14,400 --> 00:05:16,000
Speaker 2: We always joke at them boys about that. But they've

122
00:05:16,000 --> 00:05:20,720
Speaker 2: been good. They've been a good group. Shoot man, let

123
00:05:20,720 --> 00:05:23,120
Speaker 2: me think back. That was I think my biggest difficulty

124
00:05:23,120 --> 00:05:26,360
Speaker 2: again was the mental side of the game. You know, physically,

125
00:05:26,360 --> 00:05:28,960
Speaker 2: everybody is gifted at this at this level, everybody is

126
00:05:29,000 --> 00:05:31,679
Speaker 2: gifted from wherever they come. So how you separate yourself

127
00:05:31,760 --> 00:05:34,640
Speaker 2: is the mental aspect. How much do you understand about

128
00:05:34,640 --> 00:05:36,760
Speaker 2: the offensive defense that you're playing, the scheme you're running,

129
00:05:37,560 --> 00:05:39,799
Speaker 2: So the mental edge becomes so much more important transitioning

130
00:05:39,800 --> 00:05:40,800
Speaker 2: from college to the NFL.

131
00:05:42,040 --> 00:05:45,920
Speaker 1: How did you come back? Imagine you don't come out

132
00:05:45,920 --> 00:05:46,640
Speaker 1: with the person.

133
00:05:47,040 --> 00:05:49,599
Speaker 2: Yeah, I definitely think I'm different, different for the better.

134
00:05:49,640 --> 00:05:51,200
Speaker 2: Of course I might be biased on that, but I

135
00:05:51,200 --> 00:05:54,520
Speaker 2: think I have so much more perspective on life, more

136
00:05:54,560 --> 00:05:57,160
Speaker 2: perspective on the game, more perspective on my opportunity to

137
00:05:57,160 --> 00:05:57,760
Speaker 2: play the game.

138
00:05:58,600 --> 00:06:00,719
Speaker 1: You know, so you just take so much less for granted.

139
00:06:00,760 --> 00:06:04,279
Speaker 2: I know I said that last year, but man, especially

140
00:06:04,320 --> 00:06:08,720
Speaker 2: now being back and being healthy with opportunity. Hard to

141
00:06:08,760 --> 00:06:11,000
Speaker 2: take things for granted, man, when you remember obviously being

142
00:06:11,000 --> 00:06:12,560
Speaker 2: in the hospital, you didn't know if you're gonna play,

143
00:06:12,600 --> 00:06:15,640
Speaker 2: So it's easier to put a smile on your face

144
00:06:15,640 --> 00:06:17,760
Speaker 2: man and be excited about running the hill.

145
00:06:21,320 --> 00:06:23,280
Speaker 1: Yeah. I appreciate you guys. Man,
