00:01:34,200 --> 00:01:37,399

00:01:37,400 --> 00:01:40,720
Speaker 1: about a quarter to three this morning, they need a

28
00:01:40,760 --> 00:01:43,679
Speaker 1: little rest because they have worked there been, they've been working.

29
00:01:43,760 --> 00:01:45,959
Speaker 1: They've been at it today and they'll be on the

30
00:01:46,480 --> 00:01:49,680
Speaker 1: field tomorrow. We're just delighted Terence could be here. And

31
00:01:49,760 --> 00:01:53,560
Speaker 1: hello to those of you streaming whenever and wherever on

32
00:01:53,720 --> 00:01:56,400
Speaker 1: Dallas Cowboys dot Com. Those the little boxes there, te

33
00:01:56,840 --> 00:01:59,680
Speaker 1: those little boxes, those are people streaming us. What's up,

34
00:01:59,720 --> 00:02:02,520
Speaker 1: every buddy? I liked your little like disco point. Sure

35
00:02:02,720 --> 00:02:06,360
Speaker 1: they're all right there, they're all right there. So um,

36
00:02:06,600 --> 00:02:08,920
Speaker 1: we were visiting Haley and I with Terrence when he

37
00:02:08,960 --> 00:02:12,560
Speaker 1: got here and sat down and and you know, you

38
00:02:12,720 --> 00:02:17,320
Speaker 1: just forget Terrence Steele has very quickly in less than

39
00:02:17,440 --> 00:02:21,119
Speaker 1: three years become the kind of player and certainly has

40
00:02:21,160 --> 00:02:26,480
Speaker 1: been this year that is just and especially at his position,

41
00:02:26,600 --> 00:02:31,200
Speaker 1: so good that you almost forget he's there until he's

42
00:02:31,280 --> 00:02:33,920
Speaker 1: not there, and then you say, what are we gonna

43
00:02:33,960 --> 00:02:37,359
Speaker 1: do without Terrence Steele? So I think my first question

44
00:02:37,639 --> 00:02:41,040
Speaker 1: is are you surprised that you have gotten to this

45
00:02:41,160 --> 00:02:46,440
Speaker 1: point fairly quickly? Um? No, I'm honestly not too surprised,

46
00:02:46,880 --> 00:02:49,119
Speaker 1: just based off in the hard work I put in,

47
00:02:49,320 --> 00:02:53,240
Speaker 1: um just in the offseason and really every day. I

48
00:02:53,320 --> 00:02:54,960
Speaker 1: try to make the most out every day and uh,

49
00:02:55,120 --> 00:02:57,960
Speaker 1: just the success has come as far as it's been

50
00:02:57,960 --> 00:02:59,920
Speaker 1: a blessing, but I'm not surprised by it. So alright,

51
00:03:00,040 --> 00:03:03,440
Speaker 1: let's talk about how you're doing. How you're doing doing awesome? Uh,

52
00:03:03,760 --> 00:03:06,919
Speaker 1: just in rehab mode. No it Sean gat my my knee, right,

53
00:03:07,800 --> 00:03:10,680
Speaker 1: that's been going really good. Um. I think I'm a

54
00:03:10,680 --> 00:03:13,200
Speaker 1: little a little head of schedule, but this has been

55
00:03:13,200 --> 00:03:17,280
Speaker 1: going really good. I had to ask Terrence before we

56
00:03:17,320 --> 00:03:20,840
Speaker 1: went live here, tell me again what game it was,

57
00:03:20,919 --> 00:03:25,320
Speaker 1: because it the season's just it's flown by. And yet

58
00:03:25,480 --> 00:03:27,600
Speaker 1: so the Houston game, so it was like a month ago,

59
00:03:28,840 --> 00:03:32,200
Speaker 1: and it feels like six months. It's flown by. It's

60
00:03:32,240 --> 00:03:37,240
Speaker 1: flown by, And so how have you adjusted mentally to

61
00:03:37,520 --> 00:03:40,520
Speaker 1: watching the team get through the stretch run and go

62
00:03:40,520 --> 00:03:43,080
Speaker 1: on into the playoffs. And yeah, I'm sure you're sitting

63
00:03:43,080 --> 00:03:45,880
Speaker 1: there watching on television saying, but that's supposed to be

64
00:03:46,000 --> 00:03:48,000
Speaker 1: me out there. Yeah, I know you hit it around

65
00:03:48,040 --> 00:03:52,280
Speaker 1: the money. Um, It's definitely take take some adjustments to,

66
00:03:52,440 --> 00:03:54,200
Speaker 1: you know, get used to just watching my team on

67
00:03:54,240 --> 00:03:56,720
Speaker 1: TV while I'm sitting at home. Um, but you know,

68
00:03:56,760 --> 00:03:59,160
Speaker 1: I'm I'm momsly proud of them. You know, I love

69
00:03:59,200 --> 00:04:01,960
Speaker 1: my team and death us to previously know just to

70
00:04:02,000 --> 00:04:04,480
Speaker 1: watch them, you know, do the thing every every Sunday

71
00:04:04,600 --> 00:04:06,880
Speaker 1: or whatever day it is they're playing. So but it's

72
00:04:06,880 --> 00:04:08,680
Speaker 1: been good on me mentally. At first, it was kind

73
00:04:08,680 --> 00:04:11,960
Speaker 1: of hard, but you know, um, you just gotta be

74
00:04:12,240 --> 00:04:14,000
Speaker 1: you gotta get over it. You know, it's it is

75
00:04:14,040 --> 00:04:17,440
Speaker 1: what it is kind of mentality and just move forward.

76
00:04:17,520 --> 00:04:21,400
Speaker 1: So is it gonna make you stronger? You what's been

77
00:04:21,440 --> 00:04:24,320
Speaker 1: the most challenging part of this whole process? I know

78
00:04:24,360 --> 00:04:27,040
Speaker 1: you're only a month then, but it's not being up

79
00:04:27,080 --> 00:04:29,560
Speaker 1: there with my boys every day in the meetings and

80
00:04:30,000 --> 00:04:33,080
Speaker 1: just lifting. It's just a little small stuff like that, Um,

81
00:04:33,120 --> 00:04:35,440
Speaker 1: that can kind of get mundane throughout the season that

82
00:04:35,480 --> 00:04:37,920
Speaker 1: you kind of miss when you're not there anymore. So,

83
00:04:37,920 --> 00:04:41,719
Speaker 1: so this is how the season goes to me. It's

84
00:04:41,839 --> 00:04:44,479
Speaker 1: it's the ups and downs. It's like roller coasters and

85
00:04:44,600 --> 00:04:48,479
Speaker 1: lifetimes and and it seems like something I read about,

86
00:04:48,600 --> 00:04:53,240
Speaker 1: not something we saw that The last time you played

87
00:04:53,279 --> 00:05:00,960
Speaker 1: Tampa you had four fall starts, and my vivid memory

88
00:05:01,120 --> 00:05:03,960
Speaker 1: of the locker room after that game is Zack Martin

89
00:05:05,800 --> 00:05:10,599
Speaker 1: grabbing you and then explaining to you how you're You

90
00:05:10,640 --> 00:05:12,839
Speaker 1: know how good you are, and we know how good

91
00:05:12,920 --> 00:05:16,640
Speaker 1: you are, and don't let this game get to you.

92
00:05:16,839 --> 00:05:19,359
Speaker 1: How to tell us about that whole process that's that

93
00:05:19,440 --> 00:05:22,080
Speaker 1: you hit it around the money. Um, Zack, you know

94
00:05:22,120 --> 00:05:24,200
Speaker 1: he's always going to be there for me, give me

95
00:05:24,240 --> 00:05:27,240
Speaker 1: words of encouragement. Um yeah, he said, Wenna needs you

96
00:05:27,279 --> 00:05:28,880
Speaker 1: moving forward, So you know, just kind of wipe this

97
00:05:28,920 --> 00:05:31,440
Speaker 1: off the slate and learn from mistakes and um, you'll

98
00:05:31,560 --> 00:05:33,120
Speaker 1: you know, you know what kind player you are and

99
00:05:33,160 --> 00:05:36,040
Speaker 1: you know how much the team needs you. So yeah,

100
00:05:36,160 --> 00:05:38,080
Speaker 1: that first game, you know, it is what it was,

101
00:05:38,160 --> 00:05:40,479
Speaker 1: and I changed it after that. So and am I

102
00:05:40,560 --> 00:05:42,880
Speaker 1: correct that you did not have another false start the

103
00:05:42,920 --> 00:05:46,360
Speaker 1: rest of the year. Maybe maybe there was one one

104
00:05:46,400 --> 00:05:51,160
Speaker 1: sprinkling in there somewhere. Yeah, but other than that. Yeah,

105
00:05:51,200 --> 00:05:52,640
Speaker 1: I think that was the only one. How do you

106
00:05:52,680 --> 00:05:57,920
Speaker 1: do that? It's a mental focus. Um, just before every play,

107
00:05:58,000 --> 00:06:00,080
Speaker 1: you know, kind of remind yourself what this nacount is.

108
00:06:00,120 --> 00:06:02,840
Speaker 1: And um, you know, keep reminding yourself. You you remind yourself,

109
00:06:02,839 --> 00:06:06,960
Speaker 1: you know, every play and uh, it's really come down

110
00:06:06,960 --> 00:06:10,160
Speaker 1: in mental focus though. So before the year, Zach reminded

111
00:06:10,200 --> 00:06:12,760
Speaker 1: me of this. Um, I don't know if it was

112
00:06:12,960 --> 00:06:16,320
Speaker 1: the day you got hurt or a week before, because

113
00:06:16,320 --> 00:06:19,640
Speaker 1: you've been playing so well. And Zach reminded me that.

114
00:06:19,720 --> 00:06:25,040
Speaker 1: He told me in training camp Terrence Steele is the

115
00:06:25,080 --> 00:06:28,760
Speaker 1: guy who makes our running game go. He's the guy

116
00:06:28,800 --> 00:06:32,919
Speaker 1: who is our conscience. He's the guy who is not him,

117
00:06:32,920 --> 00:06:36,680
Speaker 1: who's not six time all Pro, not Tyrn Smith, who

118
00:06:36,680 --> 00:06:40,359
Speaker 1: in training camp and not yet got Terrence Steele is

119
00:06:40,360 --> 00:06:45,240
Speaker 1: the guy who's our conscience, our enforcer and um, and

120
00:06:45,240 --> 00:06:47,560
Speaker 1: and here anybody who has heard you, the people who

121
00:06:47,600 --> 00:06:50,479
Speaker 1: can see you now, you're so nice, You're just so

122
00:06:50,600 --> 00:06:54,680
Speaker 1: pleasant and so how is it that you're the enforcer? Yeah, Um,

123
00:06:54,720 --> 00:06:56,880
Speaker 1: it's just a mental switch you got you turn on

124
00:06:56,920 --> 00:07:00,240
Speaker 1: when you hit the field. Um. No, it's straighted mesness

125
00:07:00,279 --> 00:07:02,440
Speaker 1: between those lines. As soon as you touched that field.

126
00:07:02,920 --> 00:07:04,760
Speaker 1: Uh that's I don't know, just that's this kind of

127
00:07:04,760 --> 00:07:06,200
Speaker 1: my mentality. You know, I kind of want to be

128
00:07:06,200 --> 00:07:09,120
Speaker 1: the enforcer. I want to have my teammates back. Um.

129
00:07:09,840 --> 00:07:11,240
Speaker 1: I want to get out there and send the homee

130
00:07:11,280 --> 00:07:14,720
Speaker 1: you know early on. Um, you know, just and I

131
00:07:14,760 --> 00:07:16,640
Speaker 1: feel like the team kind of pick up on it

132
00:07:16,720 --> 00:07:18,720
Speaker 1: and no feed off the energy. So that's just the

133
00:07:18,800 --> 00:07:20,720
Speaker 1: kind player I want to be. Did you think you

134
00:07:20,760 --> 00:07:25,080
Speaker 1: were that guy at Texas Tech? Yeah? For sure? I

135
00:07:25,160 --> 00:07:29,800
Speaker 1: love that. So why do you think you weren't drafted? Um?

136
00:07:30,120 --> 00:07:34,080
Speaker 1: Multiple reasons. Uh, some of what you really don't want

137
00:07:34,120 --> 00:07:37,160
Speaker 1: to talk about right now. Everything worked out, Everything worked

138
00:07:37,160 --> 00:07:39,160
Speaker 1: out the way it's supposed to be. You know, I can't.

139
00:07:39,800 --> 00:07:41,920
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm blessed to even be here sitting with

140
00:07:42,000 --> 00:07:44,520
Speaker 1: y'all working for the Cowboys. You know, it's just a

141
00:07:44,600 --> 00:07:47,640
Speaker 1: dream come true. So I'm super blessed. Were you were

142
00:07:47,640 --> 00:07:52,880
Speaker 1: you disappointed? Uh? In twenty twenty wouldn't draft? The draft

143
00:07:52,960 --> 00:07:56,000
Speaker 1: came and went, um, yeah, I mean who wouldn't be

144
00:07:56,280 --> 00:07:59,240
Speaker 1: Uh no, expecting to be drafted and you're not. But um,

145
00:07:59,280 --> 00:08:01,600
Speaker 1: it definitely mode devading me and you know, sparked the

146
00:08:01,680 --> 00:08:05,000
Speaker 1: fire in me. To you know, pre everyone wrong and

147
00:08:05,360 --> 00:08:08,640
Speaker 1: be the best version of me I can be. And

148
00:08:09,240 --> 00:08:11,280
Speaker 1: I feel like it's kind of been transpiring oh these

149
00:08:11,320 --> 00:08:14,000
Speaker 1: past couple of years. So as a former college walk on,

150
00:08:14,080 --> 00:08:16,800
Speaker 1: I can respect that respect the hustle, right, I appreciate it.

151
00:08:16,840 --> 00:08:19,280
Speaker 1: I want to go back to Zach Martin play soccer.

152
00:08:21,120 --> 00:08:24,480
Speaker 1: Technically it's football, it is, but I want to go

153
00:08:24,520 --> 00:08:26,040
Speaker 1: back to Zach Martin. We had him on the show

154
00:08:26,040 --> 00:08:28,440

Speaker 1: the mentorship aspect, the relationship you guys have built. Just

157
00:08:36,040 --> 00:08:39,319

00:08:42,600 --> 00:08:46,200
Speaker 1: meant to you. Yeah, Zack, like I said earlier, you know,

161
00:08:49,920 --> 00:08:52,760
Speaker 1: just asking how I'm doing every day, even since I've

162
00:08:52,760 --> 00:08:54,720
Speaker 1: been hurt. You know, I see him almost every days

163
00:08:54,720 --> 00:08:56,079
Speaker 1: coming up to me, asking me how I'm doing and

164
00:08:56,080 --> 00:08:58,800
Speaker 1: stuff like that, and um, some I'll just do on

165
00:08:58,840 --> 00:09:00,839
Speaker 1: my own. Lacon Is watching I was kind of watch

166
00:09:00,920 --> 00:09:03,280
Speaker 1: how he goes about his day. Um, you know, what

167
00:09:03,400 --> 00:09:05,160
Speaker 1: is he eating. No, how's he taking care of his

168
00:09:05,200 --> 00:09:09,280
Speaker 1: body before practice? You know what you're doing after? Um?

169
00:09:09,440 --> 00:09:13,920
Speaker 1: How's he taking notes during film? Uh? Just small stuff

170
00:09:13,920 --> 00:09:16,960
Speaker 1: like that. I'm trying to just soak everything up um

171
00:09:16,960 --> 00:09:20,440
Speaker 1: as I can with him Tying, Uh, Jason Peters, now

172
00:09:20,480 --> 00:09:22,680
Speaker 1: everyone in that room. So how's it special to learn

173
00:09:22,720 --> 00:09:25,520
Speaker 1: from throws? Three guys? Probably fam Oh yeah, No, it's

174
00:09:25,559 --> 00:09:27,480
Speaker 1: definitely a blessing to be in that room. Man. It's

175
00:09:27,480 --> 00:09:29,080
Speaker 1: a lot of knowledge you can suck up from them,

176
00:09:29,440 --> 00:09:31,920
Speaker 1: and so you know when you're when when you have

177
00:09:32,800 --> 00:09:35,800
Speaker 1: grandchildren and you can you take him to the Hall

178
00:09:35,840 --> 00:09:40,120
Speaker 1: of Fame someday. Yeah, you go by Tyrants bust that

179
00:09:40,240 --> 00:09:42,240
Speaker 1: will be there and you can say to them, you know,

180
00:09:42,280 --> 00:09:45,000
Speaker 1: I got hurt this one time, and it took that

181
00:09:45,080 --> 00:09:47,880
Speaker 1: Hall of Famer to replace me. They couldn't find anybody else.

182
00:09:47,920 --> 00:09:51,120
Speaker 1: They had to move him from the other side to replacement.

183
00:09:51,120 --> 00:09:55,240
Speaker 1: It made you think about that sometimes. Yeah. No, it's

184
00:09:55,240 --> 00:09:57,400
Speaker 1: a big shout out to Tying for even making that move.

185
00:09:57,840 --> 00:10:02,480
Speaker 1: That should be noticed too. U played probably ninety eight

186
00:10:02,520 --> 00:10:05,200
Speaker 1: percent of his career left and then for him just

187
00:10:05,240 --> 00:10:06,800
Speaker 1: to make the move to right and it was awesome.

188
00:10:06,880 --> 00:10:10,240
Speaker 1: So um, yeah, it's definitely pretty cool. I'm only I'm

189
00:10:10,280 --> 00:10:15,160
Speaker 1: only somewhat kidding because he did play right tackles rookie

190
00:10:15,240 --> 00:10:16,760
Speaker 1: year and then he's been a left tackle ever since.

191
00:10:17,360 --> 00:10:21,000
Speaker 1: So in the last month, have you said to him, Hey, hey, Tyron,

192
00:10:21,040 --> 00:10:22,440
Speaker 1: let me just tell you a little something about how

193
00:10:22,440 --> 00:10:25,640
Speaker 1: you might want to use your footwork here? Honestly, hasn't

194
00:10:25,679 --> 00:10:29,440
Speaker 1: been much. It's crazy. He's like a mirrored image from

195
00:10:29,520 --> 00:10:32,360
Speaker 1: right from left to right. He's insane to watch. So

196
00:10:33,080 --> 00:10:36,440
Speaker 1: I'm actually taking notes on how he's doing some stuff

197
00:10:36,480 --> 00:10:38,439
Speaker 1: so I can add to my game. So it's been

198
00:10:38,440 --> 00:10:41,480
Speaker 1: cool to watch him playing my position and you know,

199
00:10:41,600 --> 00:10:43,840
Speaker 1: kind of see how he's working things and pass pro

200
00:10:43,920 --> 00:10:45,760
Speaker 1: and run blocking. So it's been pretty cool. Would you

201
00:10:45,760 --> 00:10:50,000
Speaker 1: give him pointers if he if he needed it? Um, Yeah,

202
00:10:50,040 --> 00:10:53,559
Speaker 1: he asked me a little bit about some personnel before Tampa,

203
00:10:53,679 --> 00:10:55,600
Speaker 1: so I gave him some insight on that. But other

204
00:10:55,600 --> 00:10:58,120
Speaker 1: than that, yeah, if he needed anything, I for sure

205
00:10:58,240 --> 00:11:01,800
Speaker 1: you know, getting whatever tipps I can and before yeah,

206
00:11:01,880 --> 00:11:04,840
Speaker 1: no kidding, And before we take the first break you

207
00:11:04,880 --> 00:11:09,000
Speaker 1: mentioned h Hayley mentioned Jason Peters, who you know when

208
00:11:09,080 --> 00:11:10,319
Speaker 1: when you went to training he had you had no

209
00:11:10,400 --> 00:11:14,079
Speaker 1: idea Jason Peters was going to be your teammate. How

210
00:11:14,440 --> 00:11:16,960
Speaker 1: and I think if he never played it down, what

211
00:11:17,080 --> 00:11:20,560
Speaker 1: he did for Tyler Smith was worth whatever it was

212
00:11:20,600 --> 00:11:23,440
Speaker 1: that they paid him. Yeah, but how has he I've

213
00:11:23,440 --> 00:11:30,319
Speaker 1: heard Tyler Beatish uh talk about how Peters has helped everybody,

214
00:11:30,520 --> 00:11:33,280
Speaker 1: all of you younger players in room. How has he

215
00:11:33,400 --> 00:11:37,440
Speaker 1: done that? Yeah, Jason Peters is awesome, a great, you know,

216
00:11:37,559 --> 00:11:39,520
Speaker 1: kind of deacon of light in our room. Just to

217

218
00:11:44,040 --> 00:11:46,080
Speaker 1: can go up to. Him talks about anything. He's happy

219
00:11:46,080 --> 00:11:50,440
Speaker 1: to help. Um. Whatever he sees, you know during practice, Uh,

220
00:11:50,559 --> 00:11:52,520
Speaker 1: during film. No, he's not going to be afraid of

221
00:11:52,640 --> 00:11:55,319
Speaker 1: you know, tell you what he sees and what know,

222
00:11:55,480 --> 00:11:59,440
Speaker 1: some correction could be Um yeah, no, I mean it's

223
00:11:59,600 --> 00:12:01,920
Speaker 1: it's an honor to have Jason Peters in that room. Um,

224
00:12:02,760 --> 00:12:06,160

247
00:16:33,120 --> 00:16:37,440
Speaker 1: and I love to retrace the steps. I think, especially

248
00:16:37,480 --> 00:16:41,160
Speaker 1: with offensive lineman, you guys get unless you're like zach

249
00:16:41,280 --> 00:16:44,720
Speaker 1: Or Tyr in a first round draft choice, you can

250
00:16:44,800 --> 00:16:48,000
Speaker 1: kind of come in a way under the radar, let

251
00:16:48,000 --> 00:16:51,720
Speaker 1: alone as a free agent, and then people don't pay

252
00:16:51,760 --> 00:16:54,000
Speaker 1: any attention until the next thing. You know, you're three

253
00:16:54,080 --> 00:16:57,160
Speaker 1: years in and you're starting, and they all say that

254
00:16:57,240 --> 00:16:59,040
Speaker 1: you're the guy who's the glue of the whole thing.

255
00:17:00,000 --> 00:17:05,320
Speaker 1: So I remember, Um, well, first twenty twenties year, rookie year.

256
00:17:05,760 --> 00:17:13,080
Speaker 1: What a horrible rookie year. COVID, no camp, no no

257
00:17:13,080 --> 00:17:16,960
Speaker 1: normal bonding of forming a team that you've been used

258
00:17:16,960 --> 00:17:20,440
Speaker 1: to since you were in high school. Just how did

259
00:17:20,480 --> 00:17:23,760
Speaker 1: you do that? What was that like? Yeah, it was strange, Um,

260
00:17:24,480 --> 00:17:29,520
Speaker 1: COVID testing every day, wearing masks, no training camp. Uh yeah,

261
00:17:29,560 --> 00:17:32,000
Speaker 1: it was all really just a strange experience. I didn't

262
00:17:32,000 --> 00:17:35,399
Speaker 1: really get my first normal h quote unquote normal year

263
00:17:35,760 --> 00:17:39,399
Speaker 1: until twenty twenty one, so, um, yeah, I don't know

264
00:17:39,440 --> 00:17:41,359
Speaker 1: it was it was. I mean I try to make

265
00:17:41,400 --> 00:17:45,120
Speaker 1: the best of it, Um, not really knowing exactly everything went,

266
00:17:45,240 --> 00:17:49,720
Speaker 1: but it went good. I think, Um, there's always a

267
00:17:49,760 --> 00:17:53,160
Speaker 1: little bit of well, I say, always my experiences, there's

268
00:17:53,240 --> 00:17:57,560
Speaker 1: usually when a college free agent becomes a really good

269
00:17:57,680 --> 00:18:02,280
Speaker 1: NFL player, there's there's usually um, interesting twists in the

270
00:18:02,359 --> 00:18:05,240
Speaker 1: road that got him to where he is. We've talked

271
00:18:05,240 --> 00:18:08,000
Speaker 1: to Peyton Hendershot, I know Hayley's talked a lot to Peyton,

272
00:18:08,080 --> 00:18:10,760
Speaker 1: and he's you know that there. That's one great example.

273
00:18:10,760 --> 00:18:12,520
Speaker 1: So how did you get here? Where else might you

274
00:18:12,560 --> 00:18:14,760
Speaker 1: have been? Yeah? Um, so I started off my high

275
00:18:14,760 --> 00:18:18,000
Speaker 1: school career at UM. I saw it. It's called it's

276
00:18:18,040 --> 00:18:21,560
Speaker 1: called Shibo Steel. It's outside of San Antonio. Um. Yes,

277
00:18:21,600 --> 00:18:23,919
Speaker 1: we got the same last name. I get told that

278
00:18:23,960 --> 00:18:26,800
Speaker 1: a million times. But basically your high school the school

279
00:18:26,880 --> 00:18:31,280
Speaker 1: for you while you were still there, exactly exactly exactly. Well, yeah,

280
00:18:31,400 --> 00:18:34,280
Speaker 1: I did high school there, and then um I went

281
00:18:34,320 --> 00:18:37,800
Speaker 1: to Texas Tech, uh twenty fifteen, restarted my first year,

282
00:18:37,920 --> 00:18:41,800
Speaker 1: and then started all four years there. Um okay, hold on,

283
00:18:41,840 --> 00:18:44,440
Speaker 1: hold on a minute. Was that is that? Um? Who's

284
00:18:44,480 --> 00:18:48,000
Speaker 1: the head coach? I recruited you? Okay, so how many

285
00:18:48,040 --> 00:18:55,760
Speaker 1: other places recruited you? Um? Probably six or seven? But um, yeah,

286
00:18:56,000 --> 00:18:58,320
Speaker 1: just when I visited Tech, Um, you know, I kind

287
00:18:58,359 --> 00:19:01,399
Speaker 1: of fell in love, um, just with the atmosphere you know,

288
00:19:01,440 --> 00:19:05,000
Speaker 1: the coaching and uh just the campus, you know, the city. Uh.

289
00:19:05,040 --> 00:19:07,560
Speaker 1: And it was not too close to home but not

290
00:19:07,640 --> 00:19:09,479
Speaker 1: far away. It's kind of in that sweet spot. So

291
00:19:10,000 --> 00:19:12,560
Speaker 1: um it checked all the boxes and um, I wouldn't

292
00:19:12,600 --> 00:19:16,240
Speaker 1: change anything. So yeah, And I asked that because those

293
00:19:16,280 --> 00:19:20,720
Speaker 1: decisions that we make early that that we just think like, yeah,

294
00:19:20,720 --> 00:19:22,879
Speaker 1: that's the way, that's what made sense. But a lot

295
00:19:22,920 --> 00:19:24,439
Speaker 1: of times we look back on it, we said that

296
00:19:24,520 --> 00:19:27,720
Speaker 1: was like an important development in my life. My life

297
00:19:27,800 --> 00:19:31,280
Speaker 1: might have been different if a different decision had been made.

298
00:19:31,359 --> 00:19:35,840
Speaker 1: So was anybody else serious, uh in your view? Or

299
00:19:35,920 --> 00:19:38,359
Speaker 1: was it kind of always tech? Um? Yeah, there are

300
00:19:38,359 --> 00:19:40,840
Speaker 1: a couple of teams that they really wanted me, just

301
00:19:41,520 --> 00:19:45,000
Speaker 1: uh by U. They were like the first school would

302
00:19:45,040 --> 00:19:49,320
Speaker 1: offer me. Um, Oklahoma State really wanted me. You have

303
00:19:49,640 --> 00:19:53,040
Speaker 1: really wanted me utsa, Um sint the San Antonio kid,

304
00:19:53,040 --> 00:19:57,760
Speaker 1: they really wanted me Tech obviously. Um yeah, just those

305
00:19:57,760 --> 00:19:59,320
Speaker 1: are a couple just off off the top of my

306
00:20:00,040 --> 00:20:02,320
Speaker 1: top of my head, I remember. So, so what are

307
00:20:02,359 --> 00:20:04,560
Speaker 1: you thinking about pro football then? And here's why I

308
00:20:04,560 --> 00:20:09,200
Speaker 1: asked that, Um, you go to play in Kingsbury's wide

309
00:20:09,200 --> 00:20:13,640
Speaker 1: open offense, and that is not necessarily what you'd think

310
00:20:13,680 --> 00:20:18,920
Speaker 1: of as the blueprint for an offensive lineman for the NFL. Yeah, yep,

311
00:20:19,240 --> 00:20:23,080
Speaker 1: uh yeah, No. We were an air raid offense. Uh spread,

312
00:20:24,240 --> 00:20:28,000
Speaker 1: throwing the ball probably ninety five times a game. Uh

313
00:20:28,000 --> 00:20:32,080
Speaker 1: so yeah. I got a lot of uh no pass

314
00:20:32,119 --> 00:20:37,000
Speaker 1: reps there, uh but not much run block, a few unlocks, bid.

315
00:20:37,320 --> 00:20:39,600
Speaker 1: I try to make the most of So yeah, yeah,

316
00:20:39,640 --> 00:20:41,639
Speaker 1: this was gonna say how do you when you're in

317
00:20:41,680 --> 00:20:44,200
Speaker 1: a situation like that? I mean, did you You had

318
00:20:44,200 --> 00:20:45,719
Speaker 1: to have known going into it that that's how it

319
00:20:45,760 --> 00:20:47,920
Speaker 1: was going to be. So how did you kind of

320
00:20:48,000 --> 00:20:51,280
Speaker 1: discern and kind of put yourself in that mindset of saying, Okay,

321
00:20:51,280 --> 00:20:52,680
Speaker 1: like this is what's going to happen when I get

322
00:20:52,680 --> 00:20:56,680
Speaker 1: to run block, I'm gonna yeah, uh whatever they call it.

323
00:20:56,720 --> 00:20:58,320
Speaker 1: I was out there just blocking. I was just happy

324
00:20:58,359 --> 00:21:00,480
Speaker 1: just to be there and just one of the you know,

325
00:21:00,840 --> 00:21:02,480
Speaker 1: be the best person I could be for my team.

326
00:21:02,520 --> 00:21:05,520
Speaker 1: So Ryan passed. Whatever it is, that's one of the

327
00:21:06,160 --> 00:21:08,200
Speaker 1: make the most of it. So were you thinking pro

328
00:21:08,280 --> 00:21:10,280
Speaker 1: football at that point? Were you just happy to be

329
00:21:10,320 --> 00:21:13,720
Speaker 1: going to college and playing ball? To be honest, when

330
00:21:13,760 --> 00:21:15,960
Speaker 1: I first got there, yeah, I was just happy to

331
00:21:16,000 --> 00:21:18,919
Speaker 1: be there. And then you know, Um, just as I

332
00:21:18,960 --> 00:21:21,560
Speaker 1: was working out, uh you know, just kind of learning

333
00:21:21,880 --> 00:21:23,920
Speaker 1: more and more, I was like, you know, I could

334
00:21:23,920 --> 00:21:26,800
Speaker 1: really make something out of this. So um that was

335
00:21:26,840 --> 00:21:28,800
Speaker 1: really early on, probably like my rest shirt years. So

336
00:21:28,960 --> 00:21:31,240
Speaker 1: that kind of lit another fire under me. Uh just

337
00:21:31,320 --> 00:21:33,720
Speaker 1: you know, just to be the best version of me

338
00:21:33,760 --> 00:21:38,760
Speaker 1: I can be. M Taking my nutrition, my education, learning

339
00:21:38,800 --> 00:21:41,119
Speaker 1: the game of football, just all very seriously. So was

340
00:21:41,160 --> 00:21:43,199
Speaker 1: there a coach or a mentor who led you in

341
00:21:43,240 --> 00:21:46,040
Speaker 1: that direction or what? Did you just kind of look

342
00:21:46,080 --> 00:21:48,480
Speaker 1: at it and say, wait, I could do this. Yeah? M.

343
00:21:50,200 --> 00:21:54,119
Speaker 1: Kingsbury was really really no important for my development. He

344
00:21:54,160 --> 00:21:57,879
Speaker 1: was really cool. Um my old line coaches. I had

345
00:21:58,080 --> 00:22:01,320
Speaker 1: a couple of them that you know, help me realize

346
00:22:01,359 --> 00:22:03,280
Speaker 1: my potential and brought the most out of me. So

347
00:22:03,520 --> 00:22:06,000
Speaker 1: definitely those those people. Okay, so where'd you want to

348
00:22:06,000 --> 00:22:07,800
Speaker 1: play in the NFL? Once you figure it out? Okay,

349
00:22:07,840 --> 00:22:09,520
Speaker 1: I'm good enough, I'm gonna go play in the NFL.

350
00:22:10,040 --> 00:22:11,919
Speaker 1: Where do you want to play here? It's obviously not

351
00:22:12,040 --> 00:22:14,080
Speaker 1: Dallas was not what you were thinking about. To look

352
00:22:14,080 --> 00:22:16,160
Speaker 1: how your family, to guess the Houston and New Orleans

353
00:22:16,440 --> 00:22:19,760
Speaker 1: I grew up, So I grew up a Tennessee Titans fan. Okay, uh,

354
00:22:19,920 --> 00:22:22,240
Speaker 1: don't don't know. Did you have did you have like

355
00:22:22,320 --> 00:22:25,240
Speaker 1: family who had been Oilers fans? And that's why no.

356
00:22:25,480 --> 00:22:28,040
Speaker 1: So I was born in New Mexico, Okay, I didn't

357
00:22:28,040 --> 00:22:30,399
Speaker 1: really have a team there. So the second state I

358
00:22:30,480 --> 00:22:33,040
Speaker 1: lived in was Tennessee. So I decided to run with them.

359
00:22:34,000 --> 00:22:36,480
Speaker 1: So I feel that some of my value. But okay,

360
00:22:36,520 --> 00:22:39,760
Speaker 1: so no, hey, it's completely valid. So given given you

361
00:22:39,920 --> 00:22:45,159
Speaker 1: three wishes you might have been a Titan, it's okay

362
00:22:45,160 --> 00:22:47,800
Speaker 1: to say it. It's okay to say it because you're not.

363
00:22:48,760 --> 00:22:53,160
Speaker 1: This is your same place people exactly right after maybe

364
00:22:54,040 --> 00:22:57,000
Speaker 1: I love Dallas. So now now now now that you

365
00:22:57,040 --> 00:23:01,360
Speaker 1: got here, yeah, so okay, so twenty you go through that,

366
00:23:02,000 --> 00:23:07,800
Speaker 1: and I remember whatever. There was a training camp which

367
00:23:07,840 --> 00:23:14,000
Speaker 1: was all right out here in private, and media could watch,

368
00:23:14,080 --> 00:23:17,919
Speaker 1: like from buildings or a distance, right, And so I

369
00:23:18,040 --> 00:23:20,880
Speaker 1: noticed early because those are the practices that we get

370
00:23:20,920 --> 00:23:23,600
Speaker 1: to watch, really or training camp. So I noticed early

371
00:23:24,359 --> 00:23:26,720
Speaker 1: you were playing a lot with the first team on

372
00:23:26,800 --> 00:23:30,360
Speaker 1: both sides. So I started asking some questions and then

373
00:23:30,480 --> 00:23:34,280
Speaker 1: it became clear when the answers were vague and nobody

374
00:23:34,359 --> 00:23:37,640
Speaker 1: really wanted to talk about you as the first preseason

375
00:23:37,680 --> 00:23:41,200
Speaker 1: game got closer, and then the regular season. I thought,

376
00:23:41,240 --> 00:23:43,280
Speaker 1: they've got plans for this guy. They don't want to

377
00:23:43,280 --> 00:23:45,399
Speaker 1: talk about him, they don't want anybody to know about it.

378
00:23:45,880 --> 00:23:49,000
Speaker 1: When did you know that was the case? Um, probably

379
00:23:49,040 --> 00:23:51,879
Speaker 1: when I was probably like the first week at camp,

380
00:23:52,600 --> 00:23:54,920
Speaker 1: kind of noticed they were throwing me in rotasing the one.

381
00:23:55,000 --> 00:23:57,840
Speaker 1: So okay, let's make the most out of it. You know,

382
00:23:58,119 --> 00:24:00,480
Speaker 1: get my coaches all the confidence in the world that

383
00:24:00,560 --> 00:24:03,760
Speaker 1: I can possibly give him. So yeah, okay, so you

384
00:24:03,800 --> 00:24:05,879
Speaker 1: did enough of that. You made it through twenty We

385
00:24:05,920 --> 00:24:11,640
Speaker 1: all lived through twenty twenty. Yeah, and now the restrictions

386
00:24:11,680 --> 00:24:15,880
Speaker 1: going into twenty one are kind of halfway between here

387
00:24:15,920 --> 00:24:18,960
Speaker 1: and what was then, except that you won one of

388
00:24:19,000 --> 00:24:24,800
Speaker 1: the awards from the conditioning coaches for being the hardest

389
00:24:24,840 --> 00:24:29,360
Speaker 1: worker and achieving the most in the off season. What

390
00:24:29,440 --> 00:24:32,679
Speaker 1: did you do and what did that mean to you? Yeah? Um,

391
00:24:32,920 --> 00:24:36,800
Speaker 1: so after the first season, it was good, but it

392
00:24:36,840 --> 00:24:39,119
Speaker 1: wasn't to my standards. So there were some things I

393
00:24:39,160 --> 00:24:42,680
Speaker 1: wanted to work on. Um. Right after this season ended,

394
00:24:42,720 --> 00:24:44,800
Speaker 1: I probably gave myself like two or three weeks just

395
00:24:44,920 --> 00:24:46,880
Speaker 1: to note to relax, you know, just let my body

396
00:24:46,880 --> 00:24:48,320
Speaker 1: to take a break and then right after that, I

397
00:24:48,359 --> 00:24:51,399
Speaker 1: was right at it, right back on the grind, I

398
00:24:51,520 --> 00:24:54,200
Speaker 1: go to, um my have like an old line coach

399
00:24:54,320 --> 00:24:57,160
Speaker 1: kind of outside of the Cowboys. His name is Duke

400
00:24:57,240 --> 00:24:59,240
Speaker 1: many Weather. Now I've been with him, yeah, very a

401
00:24:59,240 --> 00:25:01,520
Speaker 1: lot of people have familiar with him. Yeah, be with

402
00:25:01,600 --> 00:25:04,240
Speaker 1: him for since I've got the Cowboys, and he's just

403
00:25:04,280 --> 00:25:07,399
Speaker 1: been a huge help. Um No, just developing my strength

404
00:25:07,440 --> 00:25:10,520
Speaker 1: and notice how my body moves and work what works

405
00:25:10,520 --> 00:25:14,880
Speaker 1: best for me. Yeah, this technique, you know, just knowing

406
00:25:14,920 --> 00:25:18,360
Speaker 1: the game and just yeah, he's been a huge, huge help.

407
00:25:18,440 --> 00:25:20,919
Speaker 1: So have you ever had a chip on your shoulder

408
00:25:20,960 --> 00:25:23,200
Speaker 1: because I've kind of just I don't get that vibe,

409
00:25:23,240 --> 00:25:26,040
Speaker 1: but to me just feels like these are that confidence. Yeah.

410
00:25:26,080 --> 00:25:28,680
Speaker 1: I definitely always have a chip with my shoulder, especially

411
00:25:28,880 --> 00:25:32,480
Speaker 1: um no, just being undrafted and no, just all the

412
00:25:32,480 --> 00:25:34,800
Speaker 1: odds are against me and I kind of defeated most

413
00:25:34,800 --> 00:25:36,760
Speaker 1: of them. So I'm always in a carriage chip with

414
00:25:36,800 --> 00:25:42,280
Speaker 1: my shoulder for sure. Yeah. That. So my memory is

415
00:25:42,320 --> 00:25:48,040
Speaker 1: that even in twenty one in camp, you worked both sides.

416
00:25:48,240 --> 00:25:51,199
Speaker 1: At that point, they didn't want to overwork Tyron and

417
00:25:51,320 --> 00:25:55,199
Speaker 1: so you worked both sides. When do you think you

418
00:25:55,640 --> 00:25:58,840
Speaker 1: settled in the right tackle as being the place where

419
00:25:58,840 --> 00:26:04,400
Speaker 1: you were going to really excel. I'd say pretty early

420
00:26:04,440 --> 00:26:07,560
Speaker 1: on in the camp of twenty one. Uh, just all

421
00:26:07,600 --> 00:26:09,720
Speaker 1: the reps, all the game reps I got from twenty twenty.

422
00:26:09,800 --> 00:26:12,600
Speaker 1: You know, it really helped me just in my growth

423
00:26:12,640 --> 00:26:15,480
Speaker 1: and being a right tackle. So I was pretty early

424
00:26:15,480 --> 00:26:18,120
Speaker 1: and I was feeling very very confident and I'm playing right.

425
00:26:18,200 --> 00:26:20,680
Speaker 1: So and what was the difference then for you coming

426
00:26:20,680 --> 00:26:26,959
Speaker 1: into this year, Um, really just more experienced, more confidence, uh,

427
00:26:27,480 --> 00:26:32,800
Speaker 1: more knowledge. Really it's confidence when it comes down to So, yeah,

428
00:26:32,880 --> 00:26:35,120
Speaker 1: that's been more confident. Really did that come just from

429
00:26:35,160 --> 00:26:38,000
Speaker 1: the season you'd had previously or just getting those reps?

430
00:26:38,000 --> 00:26:40,520
Speaker 1: I guess yeah, the season previously, I thought it ended

431
00:26:40,520 --> 00:26:44,920
Speaker 1: pretty well just me. SOB was he speaking um talk? Yeah,

432
00:26:45,040 --> 00:26:48,400
Speaker 1: and uh yeah, I don't know. Just that and just

433
00:26:48,720 --> 00:26:50,320
Speaker 1: working my butt off really gives me a lot of

434
00:26:50,320 --> 00:26:52,560
Speaker 1: confidence too, just putting a lot of working in the

435
00:26:52,560 --> 00:26:55,159
Speaker 1: off season. Um, so I can be the be the

436
00:26:55,160 --> 00:26:57,600
Speaker 1: best player I can be. All right, So we're gonna

437
00:26:57,640 --> 00:26:59,320
Speaker 1: take our next break and when we come back, we're

438

455
00:31:04,920 --> 00:31:08,560
Speaker 1: a sour taste in that locker room, learning that that

Speaker 1: they were ready, Like you said, there's a bad taste

459
00:31:16,400 --> 00:31:17,920
Speaker 1: in their mouth. They kind of wants you don't get

460
00:31:17,960 --> 00:31:20,600
Speaker 1: rid of it, and there's no better way to do

461
00:31:20,640 --> 00:31:22,800
Speaker 1: it at their house. So I'm I'm excited to wash him.

462
00:31:23,680 --> 00:31:25,280
Speaker 1: I want to go back just for a second to

463
00:31:25,280 --> 00:31:30,240
Speaker 1: set a backdrop thing because you mentioned missing being in

464
00:31:30,360 --> 00:31:33,040
Speaker 1: meetings with guys. Yeah. So what a lot of fans

465
00:31:33,080 --> 00:31:37,040
Speaker 1: don't realize is when a player suffers a major injury

466
00:31:37,120 --> 00:31:39,680
Speaker 1: like you did, they think, well, he goes, he gets

467
00:31:39,680 --> 00:31:42,120
Speaker 1: an operation, and he comes to watch his practice and

468
00:31:42,160 --> 00:31:44,080
Speaker 1: hangs out in the meeting. But it's not like that.

469
00:31:44,120 --> 00:31:47,160
Speaker 1: You're hardly ever around your teammates, right, Yeah, that was

470
00:31:47,200 --> 00:31:49,360
Speaker 1: actually something had to get adjusted to. That's probably one

471
00:31:49,400 --> 00:31:52,280
Speaker 1: of the biggest things surprised you. Yeah. No team meetings.

472
00:31:52,480 --> 00:31:57,400
Speaker 1: Uh No, no position meetings, no offensive line meetings, none

473
00:31:57,440 --> 00:32:00,640
Speaker 1: of that. So, um, mainly my days going in there

474
00:32:00,800 --> 00:32:03,720
Speaker 1: uh pretty early to get my rehab in. Uh do

475
00:32:03,800 --> 00:32:08,000
Speaker 1: that for probably four hours, and then um, I go

476
00:32:08,000 --> 00:32:10,120
Speaker 1: in the weight room lift and then after that I'm done.

477
00:32:10,160 --> 00:32:12,560
Speaker 1: So so how do you maintain you? I mean, you

478
00:32:12,800 --> 00:32:17,320
Speaker 1: have to be more conscious than about maintaining the relationship

479
00:32:17,360 --> 00:32:19,720
Speaker 1: with your teammates and your linemates right, Yeah, do you

480
00:32:19,840 --> 00:32:23,880
Speaker 1: do that most definitely. Um. First of all, my teammates

481
00:32:23,880 --> 00:32:25,760
Speaker 1: are awesome. You know, they're always coming in the and

482
00:32:25,840 --> 00:32:27,800
Speaker 1: the way or the training room and you know, the

483
00:32:27,840 --> 00:32:29,480
Speaker 1: same what's up to me every day. It's kind of

484
00:32:29,560 --> 00:32:31,560
Speaker 1: checking on me. So I get to see him every

485
00:32:31,600 --> 00:32:35,080
Speaker 1: day through that. UM. And uh, we have old line

486
00:32:35,120 --> 00:32:40,240
Speaker 1: functions every week. UM, so I make those. Yep, there's

487
00:32:40,240 --> 00:32:43,440
Speaker 1: an identist. Those are tradition. Uh. Those are really really

488
00:32:43,480 --> 00:32:47,520
Speaker 1: good to go to. Um. Yeah, and you know I'll

489
00:32:47,560 --> 00:32:49,520
Speaker 1: meet some of the my old line buddies, you know,

490
00:32:49,640 --> 00:32:52,480
Speaker 1: just just whenever I really want to to be honest.

491
00:32:52,520 --> 00:32:56,680
Speaker 1: So they're all really cool. Um. That constantuity, uh is there.

492
00:32:56,720 --> 00:32:58,320
Speaker 1: You know, it's it's it's cool to be a part

493
00:32:58,320 --> 00:33:00,520
Speaker 1: of two. So I ask that so that people have

494
00:33:00,680 --> 00:33:03,520
Speaker 1: that as a kind of a backdrop to understand that

495
00:33:03,680 --> 00:33:08,240
Speaker 1: under different circumstances, you would have all been already talking about,

496
00:33:09,480 --> 00:33:12,400
Speaker 1: both as a team and as position groups. The experience

497
00:33:12,440 --> 00:33:15,120
Speaker 1: of the playoff game last year, and that was the

498
00:33:15,160 --> 00:33:17,400
Speaker 1: wild card game. That was the game you just won,

499
00:33:18,160 --> 00:33:22,120
Speaker 1: and and you were playing at home and they came

500
00:33:22,160 --> 00:33:24,880
Speaker 1: in and they were good, and they're good again. But

501
00:33:25,040 --> 00:33:34,320
Speaker 1: so so now how do you think that game informs preparation,

502
00:33:34,680 --> 00:33:39,640
Speaker 1: not just technically, not just in scheme, but in motivation

503
00:33:39,720 --> 00:33:43,880
Speaker 1: and emotion. How does that game inform preparation for something?

504
00:33:45,600 --> 00:33:50,160
Speaker 1: The game last year with San Francisco. Um, and then

505
00:33:50,200 --> 00:33:52,240
Speaker 1: you can address the same question to the game from

506
00:33:52,240 --> 00:33:55,200
Speaker 1: them last night. Yeah, Um, the game from last year,

507
00:33:55,200 --> 00:33:57,200
Speaker 1: I think we kind of hit on just really even

508
00:33:57,240 --> 00:33:59,240
Speaker 1: that bad taste in her mouth. I don't think it

509
00:33:59,280 --> 00:34:03,240
Speaker 1: was the way offense defense our specs teams wanted to play. Um,

510
00:34:03,440 --> 00:34:05,360
Speaker 1: we can definitely be better in off the phases. So

511
00:34:05,960 --> 00:34:08,200
Speaker 1: I guarantee they're they're watching that film right now, and

512
00:34:08,560 --> 00:34:10,640
Speaker 1: you know they're they're gonna be ready to ready to

513
00:34:10,760 --> 00:34:14,239
Speaker 1: rock and roll. So and so is is revenge for

514
00:34:14,360 --> 00:34:16,919
Speaker 1: lack of a better word, is that really a thing

515
00:34:17,120 --> 00:34:20,160
Speaker 1: for motivation and professional football? It can be. It just

516
00:34:20,200 --> 00:34:25,120
Speaker 1: depends on the person. Um. I think our motto this

517
00:34:25,200 --> 00:34:28,879
Speaker 1: year is resilient. So just being resilient from last year

518
00:34:29,160 --> 00:34:31,160
Speaker 1: onto this year. I think that's kind of where our

519
00:34:31,160 --> 00:34:33,080
Speaker 1: team's focus is going to be. Yeah, it feels like

520
00:34:33,080 --> 00:34:35,560
Speaker 1: it's not so much revenge for you guys. It feels

521
00:34:35,640 --> 00:34:39,040
Speaker 1: more like just another checkbox to get to the ultimate goal.

522
00:34:39,040 --> 00:34:40,839
Speaker 1: Which is the Super Bowl. Is that kind of how

523
00:34:40,880 --> 00:34:43,720
Speaker 1: y'all feel? Yeah? That and just know just wanting to

524
00:34:43,760 --> 00:34:45,960
Speaker 1: play our best ball East week. We're trying to play

525
00:34:46,360 --> 00:34:48,719
Speaker 1: the best the Dallas Cowboys can play, So I think

526
00:34:48,719 --> 00:34:51,640
Speaker 1: that's kind of kind of what they're envisioning. So all right,

527
00:34:51,680 --> 00:34:56,320
Speaker 1: So how did last night's game you think motivate fuel

528
00:34:56,600 --> 00:34:58,520
Speaker 1: feed into what's going to go on this week? I

529
00:34:58,520 --> 00:35:00,359
Speaker 1: think it gave us a lot of he didn't give

530
00:35:00,440 --> 00:35:02,479
Speaker 1: us like a big chunk of confidence, to be honest, Um,

531
00:35:02,680 --> 00:35:04,879
Speaker 1: no offense defense there and they're a role and they're

532
00:35:04,880 --> 00:35:08,560
Speaker 1: flying around on that field. So um, yeah, I think

533
00:35:08,560 --> 00:35:11,160
Speaker 1: it's just gonna spring board spring board us forward into

534
00:35:11,200 --> 00:35:14,560
Speaker 1: the playoffs. And yeah, I think it's gonna be fun

535
00:35:14,560 --> 00:35:17,239
Speaker 1: to watch. So we were talking before just about you

536
00:35:17,239 --> 00:35:19,520
Speaker 1: know how well Dak Prescott played last night, But he

537
00:35:19,560 --> 00:35:22,680
Speaker 1: played really well because of how well the offensive line play.

538
00:35:22,800 --> 00:35:24,640
Speaker 1: Did you did you kind of feel that, especially with

539
00:35:24,640 --> 00:35:26,520
Speaker 1: the shift when Jason Peters went out and there was

540
00:35:26,800 --> 00:35:29,719
Speaker 1: more musical chairs. Yeah, no, the line, no, whatever the

541
00:35:29,840 --> 00:35:31,520
Speaker 1: rotation was, I feel like they stepped up and no

542
00:35:31,880 --> 00:35:35,160
Speaker 1: made Dak comfortable in the pocket and um provided running

543
00:35:35,200 --> 00:35:39,319
Speaker 1: lings whenever it needed. To be so, Um, no, the

544
00:35:39,400 --> 00:35:42,080
Speaker 1: team runs through the offensive line, so how are their playings? However?

545
00:35:42,200 --> 00:35:43,799
Speaker 1: Is going to go? So you know, them boys really

546
00:35:43,840 --> 00:35:47,600
Speaker 1: do their thing last night. I'm I'm a football fan. Yeah.

547
00:35:48,280 --> 00:35:50,880
Speaker 1: Will you sit and watch a football game for entertainment?

548
00:35:51,000 --> 00:35:55,320
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, okay, so because not everybody is who plays

549
00:35:55,360 --> 00:35:57,600
Speaker 1: the game. It's a fascinating thing. Yeah, but so you

550
00:35:57,760 --> 00:36:02,560
Speaker 1: so when you watched last night, are you watching like critically?

551
00:36:02,640 --> 00:36:05,160
Speaker 1: Are you just locked in on the line play? Are

552
00:36:05,160 --> 00:36:07,279
Speaker 1: you looking at the whole thing? How do you watch it?

553
00:36:07,840 --> 00:36:09,840
Speaker 1: I'm pretty locked in online player. I just want to

554
00:36:09,880 --> 00:36:13,600
Speaker 1: see um knows what the scheme is, you know, you

555
00:36:13,680 --> 00:36:17,000
Speaker 1: know what they're what they're blocking while they're blocking all

556
00:36:17,040 --> 00:36:19,520
Speaker 1: that stuff. So I'm locked in the old line. And

557
00:36:19,680 --> 00:36:22,799
Speaker 1: then uh, where the balls thrown or whoever has the ball?

558
00:36:23,120 --> 00:36:26,520
Speaker 1: That's my next focus. And have you watched San Francisco

559
00:36:26,600 --> 00:36:29,480
Speaker 1: at all? I have? Yeah, just throughout the weeks, just

560
00:36:29,560 --> 00:36:32,279
Speaker 1: whenever they're on, I'll glance at him. Um, there's all

561
00:36:32,320 --> 00:36:33,920
Speaker 1: the team. I'll give it to him. How do you

562
00:36:34,040 --> 00:36:36,200
Speaker 1: think they compared to the team you played last year?

563
00:36:38,880 --> 00:36:42,000
Speaker 1: Defensive wise? I think they're pretty similar. Offensive wise, you know,

564
00:36:42,080 --> 00:36:47,719
Speaker 1: the offense obviously, Um, different situation at quarterback. Um, he's

565
00:36:47,760 --> 00:36:53,960
Speaker 1: been playing pretty well. That's just the two differences I see. Um. Yeah,

566
00:36:54,000 --> 00:36:56,160
Speaker 1: we'll see how it goes. Oh and Haley, was Haley

567
00:36:56,360 --> 00:36:58,319
Speaker 1: wormed out of you before we went on the air

568
00:36:59,080 --> 00:37:01,600
Speaker 1: that I hadn't even put together. You played Brock Purdy

569
00:37:01,680 --> 00:37:04,759
Speaker 1: in college? I did. Yeah, I would state yep, he

570
00:37:04,920 --> 00:37:08,000
Speaker 1: always uh gave us a good run of prim money.

571
00:37:08,200 --> 00:37:10,080
Speaker 1: He's a good QB. I'll give him that. What's he

572
00:37:10,160 --> 00:37:14,759
Speaker 1: good at? He's just smart, he's tough. Um do you

573
00:37:14,800 --> 00:37:17,279
Speaker 1: see him back there? He's just confident William dealing so

574
00:37:17,880 --> 00:37:21,480
Speaker 1: Um he's been playing like that since since I can remember. Um,

575
00:37:22,080 --> 00:37:24,880
Speaker 1: so yeah, it's been cool to see his growth. Did

576
00:37:24,960 --> 00:37:30,520
Speaker 1: he look like the water boy in college too? Uh? Yeah, yeah,

577
00:37:30,960 --> 00:37:33,960
Speaker 1: So you're not surprised at all the success that he's had. Honestly, no, no,

578
00:37:34,200 --> 00:37:36,920
Speaker 1: not at all. All. Right, before we start, before we

579
00:37:37,000 --> 00:37:39,560
Speaker 1: take another break and start taking some questions from our audience,

580
00:37:39,800 --> 00:37:43,360
Speaker 1: there's another area of life that I would like people

581
00:37:43,400 --> 00:37:45,960
Speaker 1: to know about, and have you talked about. You have

582
00:37:47,080 --> 00:37:50,759
Speaker 1: filling many blanks for us, Please you have uh some

583
00:37:51,600 --> 00:37:55,160
Speaker 1: kind of personal involvement with the Medal of Honor Museum.

584
00:37:55,280 --> 00:37:59,600
Speaker 1: That's that's going on. Tell people about that. Uh. Yeah,

585
00:37:59,680 --> 00:38:02,320
Speaker 1: so we designed cleats. Um. I was able to go

586
00:38:02,440 --> 00:38:05,319
Speaker 1: up there, me and Tyler. We were speaking and uh

587
00:38:05,400 --> 00:38:09,040
Speaker 1: in front of some kids. Um, that was pretty cool. Yeah,

588
00:38:09,040 --> 00:38:11,200
Speaker 1: It's just it's a privileous just to you know, even

589
00:38:11,320 --> 00:38:13,359
Speaker 1: be doing something like this for the Medal of Honor.

590
00:38:13,560 --> 00:38:16,200
Speaker 1: Uh talking about people who you know made the oldtimate

591
00:38:16,239 --> 00:38:18,719
Speaker 1: sacrifice for us. Um Sody game played this game, so

592
00:38:19,000 --> 00:38:22,960
Speaker 1: definitely blessed. You have a personal family relationship with the military, sir.

593
00:38:23,120 --> 00:38:28,120
Speaker 1: My stepdad is the military. Yep. So and and he

594
00:38:28,320 --> 00:38:31,799
Speaker 1: has paid some physical prices. Oh you understand most definitely. Yeah.

595
00:38:31,840 --> 00:38:36,560
Speaker 1: He uh, um got a helicopter accident, lost his leg

596
00:38:36,680 --> 00:38:40,919
Speaker 1: above the knee. Um, his left leg, had a bunch

597
00:38:41,000 --> 00:38:45,720
Speaker 1: of back surgeries, broken black in a bunch of different places,

598
00:38:45,800 --> 00:38:49,920
Speaker 1: his pelvis um, lost his finger. Yeah. So just to

599
00:38:49,960 --> 00:38:51,600
Speaker 1: see him, you know, kind of bounce back from that.

600
00:38:52,080 --> 00:38:54,879
Speaker 1: That happened very early on, not very early, but pretty

601
00:38:54,920 --> 00:38:57,640
Speaker 1: early in my life, probably like eight or nine. So um,

602
00:38:57,680 --> 00:39:00,440
Speaker 1: watching him kind of bounced back for that really just

603
00:39:00,560 --> 00:39:03,000
Speaker 1: kind of you know, show me that anything's possible if

604
00:39:03,040 --> 00:39:05,160
Speaker 1: you put your mind to it. So when you see

605
00:39:05,200 --> 00:39:07,520
Speaker 1: that at eight or nine, that is very young, and

606
00:39:07,680 --> 00:39:11,160
Speaker 1: it's old enough to make a lasting impression, I'll start

607
00:39:11,200 --> 00:39:14,160
Speaker 1: to form some some opinions. So what what did that

608
00:39:14,400 --> 00:39:18,680
Speaker 1: leave you with? Whenever I'm feeling down or um, you know,

609
00:39:19,120 --> 00:39:21,080
Speaker 1: just feel like something's not going my way, and I'll

610
00:39:21,120 --> 00:39:22,799
Speaker 1: kind of think of my dad and how it kind

611
00:39:22,840 --> 00:39:25,799
Speaker 1: of overcame, you know, the situation he did, and uh

612
00:39:26,600 --> 00:39:29,520
Speaker 1: that it gives me strength to pull pull through whatever

613
00:39:29,680 --> 00:39:32,279
Speaker 1: is going on. So has it kept you from when

614
00:39:32,320 --> 00:39:34,480
Speaker 1: you have something like happened to your knee? Has it

615
00:39:34,640 --> 00:39:38,560
Speaker 1: kept you from saying poor me? No? Yeah? Yeah, Like

616
00:39:39,640 --> 00:39:41,879
Speaker 1: he's been through so much worse stuff and bounce back

617
00:39:42,000 --> 00:39:45,920
Speaker 1: and better than every So that he's just a perfect

618
00:39:45,960 --> 00:39:48,600
Speaker 1: example of you know, doing stuff the right way and

619
00:39:49,120 --> 00:39:51,680
Speaker 1: you know, just having that great mindset and you can

620
00:39:51,920 --> 00:39:56,600
Speaker 1: overcome anything. So he's resilient, exactly, exactly resilient. When you

621
00:39:56,719 --> 00:39:59,399
Speaker 1: surprised or let me not put words in your mouth.

622
00:39:59,680 --> 00:40:02,160
Speaker 1: When when they presented that as the theme for the year,

623
00:40:02,200 --> 00:40:04,239
Speaker 1: when did they do that the spring? Yeah, it was

624
00:40:04,239 --> 00:40:06,440
Speaker 1: pretty early on. Zach told me he was the one that, Hey,

625
00:40:06,480 --> 00:40:08,719
Speaker 1: we're gonna do this. The whole old line so I

626
00:40:08,920 --> 00:40:11,279
Speaker 1: was with it from the very jump and that was

627
00:40:11,320 --> 00:40:13,200
Speaker 1: something else parking. I was partly gonna take a similar

628
00:40:13,239 --> 00:40:16,200
Speaker 1: route either way. So yeah, I'm very happy we did

629
00:40:16,239 --> 00:40:17,879
Speaker 1: something like that and did that feel like, oh yeah,

630
00:40:17,920 --> 00:40:21,640
Speaker 1: that fits this. This is from Yeah, and the Medal

631
00:40:21,680 --> 00:40:25,520
Speaker 1: of honor Um recipients. They were actually at our practice

632
00:40:25,640 --> 00:40:27,680
Speaker 1: one day and we got to meet him afterwards, so

633
00:40:27,800 --> 00:40:29,640
Speaker 1: that was that was a huge, huge thing for me.

634
00:40:29,760 --> 00:40:32,800
Speaker 1: That was really cool. Yeah. Well, there's a lot to

635
00:40:32,880 --> 00:40:36,640
Speaker 1: be learned from the example the Terrence Steele sets and

636
00:40:36,760 --> 00:40:39,359
Speaker 1: the example of the people in his life have set

637
00:40:39,480 --> 00:40:42,719
Speaker 1: for him that he's carried forward. So we will take

638
00:40:42,760 --> 00:40:45,000
Speaker 1: a break and when we come back, if we have

639
00:40:45,160 --> 00:40:48,479
Speaker 1: anybody in the audience here at Kane Rosso who would

640
00:40:48,520 --> 00:40:51,480
Speaker 1: like to ask Terrence Steele a question, all you have

641
00:40:51,560 --> 00:40:53,959
Speaker 1: to do is hold your hand up. Joe Trey Hanna

642

Speaker 1: has got the microphone. He'll be coming out to you.

643
00:40:57,080 --> 00:41:00,040
Speaker 1: Terrence Steele is our guest on the Cowboys Hour. We

644
00:41:00,120 --> 00:41:04,400
Speaker 1: will have one next week. Um across the across the

645
00:41:04,440 --> 00:41:07,680
Speaker 1: little street. It's bigger than an alley and less than

646
00:41:07,760 --> 00:41:10,560
Speaker 1: a boulevard right right over there at City Works. But

647
00:41:10,640 --> 00:41:13,680

00:44:32,880 --> 00:44:35,320
Speaker 1: rides to you by Papa John's, Better Ingredients, better Pizza.

653
00:44:35,640 --> 00:44:38,040
Speaker 1: Papa John's the official pizza of the Dallas Cowboys. You

654
00:44:38,080 --> 00:44:40,160
Speaker 1: think we're gonna take some questions, but real quick, because

655
00:44:40,160 --> 00:44:42,840
Speaker 1: we were just talking about the gritty. What did you

656
00:44:43,000 --> 00:44:46,960
Speaker 1: think of Mike McCarthy's dance moves yesterday? Because he explained

657
00:44:47,000 --> 00:44:49,360
Speaker 1: at us in the press conference that he said it

658
00:44:49,480 --> 00:44:51,120
Speaker 1: was just a little bit of a tease and it

659
00:44:51,200 --> 00:44:53,560
Speaker 1: was a combination between like a breakdance and a gritty.

660
00:44:54,080 --> 00:44:56,839
Speaker 1: There's no way that was a gritty. There was also

661
00:44:56,920 --> 00:44:59,399
Speaker 1: no way it was a breakdance. So this is him

662
00:44:59,560 --> 00:45:02,520
Speaker 1: excited at the moment. Just whatever his body was feeling

663
00:45:02,560 --> 00:45:04,680
Speaker 1: at that moment is him probably doing it. So I

664
00:45:04,719 --> 00:45:06,560
Speaker 1: thought that was pretty funny. Have you ever seen him

665
00:45:06,760 --> 00:45:09,440
Speaker 1: act that way? Because we never get that. We get

666
00:45:09,480 --> 00:45:11,680
Speaker 1: a couple of jokes here and there, but I was

667
00:45:11,800 --> 00:45:17,120
Speaker 1: blown away. That was incredible kind of love it. What's

668
00:45:17,160 --> 00:45:22,560
Speaker 1: the loosest you've ever seen him? Probably that, to be

669
00:45:22,640 --> 00:45:29,040
Speaker 1: honest in person, though mmm, I don't know. It's hard

670
00:45:29,080 --> 00:45:31,840
Speaker 1: to put an exact Probably the vikings, to be honest,

671
00:45:32,280 --> 00:45:35,719
Speaker 1: the when I see and what did he do? I

672
00:45:35,880 --> 00:45:41,320
Speaker 1: was just I don't know, not much remember, but you

673
00:45:41,400 --> 00:45:44,440
Speaker 1: could tell he was happy. Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, all right?

674
00:45:44,600 --> 00:45:47,040
Speaker 1: That are you ready? Because I have a feeling you

675
00:45:47,239 --> 00:45:49,799
Speaker 1: you may not be quite the same after this first

676
00:45:49,840 --> 00:45:53,600
Speaker 1: couple of questioners grilled you. Okay, Joe, let's go right

677
00:45:53,640 --> 00:46:00,640
Speaker 1: over here at first, So every you know, you guys

00:46:04,160 --> 00:46:09,680
Speaker 1: into the playoffs red hot. Every overheated motor needs to

680
00:46:09,800 --> 00:46:13,480
Speaker 1: cool down. Do you think they're gonna cool down this Sunday?

681
00:46:14,120 --> 00:46:15,680
Speaker 1: Do I think the forty nine is on a cool

682

Speaker 1: no hesitation, no hesitation. Okay, here we go. Yeah, oh,

685
00:46:31,440 --> 00:46:35,160
Speaker 1: this could be trouble. You already know this, Terrence, but

686
00:46:35,520 --> 00:46:39,160
Speaker 1: you're one of my favorite players. What would you do

687
00:46:39,480 --> 00:46:43,360

690
00:46:50,600 --> 00:46:55,759
Speaker 1: UM To be honest, I probably would have followed my

691
00:46:55,840 --> 00:46:59,760
Speaker 1: stepdad and joined and listening to the military. So interesting.

692
00:47:00,200 --> 00:47:03,239
Speaker 1: Can we can we ask Boston a question? What? First

693
00:47:03,239 --> 00:47:08,799
Speaker 1: of all, why is Boston wearing a Bengal yet likes

708
00:48:08,520 --> 00:48:13,600

00:48:26,840 --> 00:48:30,960
Speaker 1: just sports in general. I'll go with Tim Duncan. Well,

713
00:48:31,040 --> 00:48:35,120
Speaker 1: there's a classy guy Antonio connection. There were you in?

714
00:48:36,120 --> 00:48:38,879
Speaker 1: Had you moved to San Antonio area by the time

715
00:48:39,040 --> 00:48:43,480
Speaker 1: when Robinson was playing? Oh no, no, sir, okay, no,

716
00:48:43,680 --> 00:48:48,319
Speaker 1: but I was when TP, Tony and Manu the Big three. Yes,

717
00:48:48,640 --> 00:48:51,800
Speaker 1: so I grew up on Okay, how about you know

718
00:48:51,880 --> 00:48:55,560
Speaker 1: you're not exactly short. Were you a basketball player? Yeah?

719
00:48:55,680 --> 00:48:59,000
Speaker 1: I wasn't the best. Definitely a football was my I'm

720
00:48:59,000 --> 00:49:01,160
Speaker 1: gonna go. I mean, you had be pretty good cleaning

721
00:49:01,200 --> 00:49:03,719
Speaker 1: the glass. Now, yeah, I can get some rebounds, but

722
00:49:04,480 --> 00:49:06,279
Speaker 1: I just wanted to stay outside the ark and shoot

723
00:49:06,280 --> 00:49:09,480
Speaker 1: threes all the time. So of course you did, because

724
00:49:09,560 --> 00:49:13,520
Speaker 1: every every big guy is a three point Hey, Terrence,

725
00:49:13,520 --> 00:49:16,160
Speaker 1: how you doing good? How you doing? Are you lobbying

726
00:49:16,200 --> 00:49:19,359
Speaker 1: the coaches more for past plays? With your touchdown pass.

727
00:49:19,440 --> 00:49:22,080
Speaker 1: I was wondering about that, like, uh, was your heart

728
00:49:22,160 --> 00:49:24,480
Speaker 1: skipping a few beats when you were that wide open man?

729
00:49:24,600 --> 00:49:26,920
Speaker 1: And so that's every line in his dream, right and

730
00:49:27,080 --> 00:49:29,920
Speaker 1: then my dream since I started playing football, um, just

731
00:49:30,040 --> 00:49:32,919
Speaker 1: to score, especially in the NFL. It's just a dream

732
00:49:32,960 --> 00:49:36,200
Speaker 1: come true. But yeah, most definitely, I'm always in coaches

733
00:49:36,320 --> 00:49:38,120
Speaker 1: here to game any more. I always want more. Now

734
00:49:38,239 --> 00:49:43,000
Speaker 1: refresh everyone's man, ray? What game was that? The Commanders

735
00:49:43,600 --> 00:49:46,480
Speaker 1: at home? Sir? And wasn't that supposed to be Connor

736
00:49:46,560 --> 00:49:55,120
Speaker 1: McGovern's play at first? I don't think so? That was

737
00:49:55,160 --> 00:49:59,319
Speaker 1: all very sure handed? Yeah, yeah, was definitely is your

738
00:49:59,360 --> 00:50:02,120
Speaker 1: moment you could I couldn't drop he couldn't drop it. Okay,

739
00:50:02,120 --> 00:50:04,000
Speaker 1: I get one chance. I'm gonna make the most of it.

740
00:50:04,280 --> 00:50:08,800
Speaker 1: So far as only one chance. Okay, Well, Terrence from McKinney.

741
00:50:10,200 --> 00:50:13,000
Speaker 1: It's a two part question here. Okay, first part is, uh,

742
00:50:13,480 --> 00:50:16,600
Speaker 1: did vanders she ever get a trade with Tom Brady

743
00:50:16,680 --> 00:50:20,120
Speaker 1: on the jersey? And the second part would be smart

744
00:50:20,320 --> 00:50:23,719
Speaker 1: for asmart as the team goes, who is musically inclined

745
00:50:23,920 --> 00:50:27,479
Speaker 1: to pet the team and sing and get everybody going. Okay,

746
00:50:27,600 --> 00:50:30,800
Speaker 1: this is interesting question. The first one I don't have

747
00:50:30,960 --> 00:50:33,840
Speaker 1: the answer for you. Um, I had no idea about

748
00:50:33,840 --> 00:50:36,160
Speaker 1: that one. That would be pretty cool if he did, though, Um,

749
00:50:36,600 --> 00:50:39,480
Speaker 1: the second one, I'd have to go with Isaac Alacohon. Yeah,

750
00:50:39,520 --> 00:50:43,680
Speaker 1: he's pretty musically inclined. Um, you play the guitar, he

751
00:50:43,800 --> 00:50:46,839
Speaker 1: can sing mariachi, So it's pretty cool to see him.

752
00:50:47,000 --> 00:50:49,200
Speaker 1: Does he break out the guitar on Thursday? As ever,

753
00:50:49,680 --> 00:50:51,840
Speaker 1: we actually did have oline dinner. He did break up

754
00:50:51,840 --> 00:50:54,520
Speaker 1: the guitar and he had a mariachi band coming and

755
00:50:54,560 --> 00:50:56,480
Speaker 1: he was singing two along with this, so it was

756
00:50:56,520 --> 00:50:58,440
Speaker 1: it was pretty It was pretty cool experience. This is

757
00:50:58,520 --> 00:51:02,520
Speaker 1: outstanding Joe Trey and do we know if um, do

758
00:51:02,680 --> 00:51:05,640
Speaker 1: we know Joe, do we know if uh if Layton

762
00:51:19,200 --> 00:51:21,880
Speaker 1: They had a nice little hug before Tom went in

763
00:51:22,120 --> 00:51:24,000
Speaker 1: and was talking to Dak. It was very brief though.

764
00:51:24,040 --> 00:51:25,919
Speaker 1: I think he wanted to get out of there. Yeah,

765
00:51:26,239 --> 00:51:29,600
Speaker 1: I think that was clear. Yeah, Um, you know late?

766
00:51:29,680 --> 00:51:31,359
Speaker 1: Was it late? Was it just last week that Layton

767
00:51:31,480 --> 00:51:35,000
Speaker 1: was on? Was it only last week? Uh? Wow? Um,

768
00:51:35,440 --> 00:51:40,560
Speaker 1: and yes, and Rambo brought a big giant Layton Vanderhead.

769
00:51:40,760 --> 00:51:45,960
Speaker 1: I'm a little disappointed you didn't bring it, Terry. No

770
00:51:46,280 --> 00:51:52,920
Speaker 1: giant Terrence steel Head. Um okay, So, um let's wind

771
00:51:53,040 --> 00:51:58,040
Speaker 1: the clock ahead, uh just a little bit the hopefully

772
00:51:58,120 --> 00:52:02,040
Speaker 1: the season is gonna last three four more weeks one

773
00:52:02,080 --> 00:52:06,080
Speaker 1: way or the other. You are in your rehab program,

774
00:52:06,560 --> 00:52:09,879
Speaker 1: So what what lies ahead in the next too much?

775
00:52:10,600 --> 00:52:16,279
Speaker 1: Two months? Um? Really, just you know, walking on my

776
00:52:16,360 --> 00:52:19,280
Speaker 1: own without crutches, without a crutch, not crutches, a crutch

777
00:52:19,480 --> 00:52:23,800
Speaker 1: uh that Um no, just keeping the activation in my quads.

778
00:52:24,000 --> 00:52:30,279
Speaker 1: No uh going uh, no building muscle. Um really, just

779
00:52:30,440 --> 00:52:32,480
Speaker 1: trying to progress as much as I can without you know,

780
00:52:32,760 --> 00:52:35,720
Speaker 1: pushing it too hard. So I said two months because

781
00:52:36,120 --> 00:52:39,400
Speaker 1: it's usually in mid delayed March that the offseason program

782
00:52:39,520 --> 00:52:42,000
Speaker 1: starts the conditioning program, right, you can get in the

783
00:52:42,040 --> 00:52:45,440
Speaker 1: weight room. Yeah, so how close will you be to that? When?

784
00:52:45,600 --> 00:52:47,719
Speaker 1: When will you be able to get in there? I'm

785
00:52:47,719 --> 00:52:50,080
Speaker 1: already in the weight room now. Um. Nothing lower body

786
00:52:50,120 --> 00:52:53,440
Speaker 1: wise obviously, just everybody. Um Uh. I don't know the

787
00:52:53,520 --> 00:52:55,399
Speaker 1: exact timeline, but I know I'm not too far off

788
00:52:55,440 --> 00:52:58,640
Speaker 1: from anything. Lower body in the weight room. Um probably

789
00:52:58,680 --> 00:53:01,920
Speaker 1: around that time is pretty accurate, but I don't have

790
00:53:02,000 --> 00:53:04,400
Speaker 1: an exact no timeline. So I wanted to ask you

791
00:53:04,480 --> 00:53:06,719
Speaker 1: real quick because we were talking about it earlier. Uh,

792
00:53:07,160 --> 00:53:09,360
Speaker 1: what stood out to you the most about the offensive

793
00:53:09,400 --> 00:53:13,160
Speaker 1: line in Monday's game? Was there, Ah, you know something

794
00:53:13,200 --> 00:53:14,480
Speaker 1: that you keyed in on that you were like, wow,

795
00:53:14,560 --> 00:53:16,760
Speaker 1: that was really impressive or maybe just in this stretch

796
00:53:16,800 --> 00:53:19,000
Speaker 1: and supen out, what have you seen? Yeah, there was

797
00:53:19,040 --> 00:53:21,719
Speaker 1: a play I remember, um, Me and Zach were talking

798
00:53:21,719 --> 00:53:24,239
Speaker 1: about it earlier today. It was on the goal line.

799
00:53:24,360 --> 00:53:27,640
Speaker 1: It was it was like a what do we call

800
00:53:27,640 --> 00:53:30,520
Speaker 1: It's like a power um to Tyler Smith's side. He

801
00:53:30,640 --> 00:53:34,360
Speaker 1: was blocking down um and he was working up to

802
00:53:34,400 --> 00:53:36,200
Speaker 1: the backer and he, you know, kind of just threw

803
00:53:36,239 --> 00:53:38,120
Speaker 1: him to the ground. So okay, well I saw that

804
00:53:38,840 --> 00:53:42,279
Speaker 1: Devin White, I saw that play. I'd really play that's

805
00:53:42,440 --> 00:53:44,680
Speaker 1: that's like, that's the constant I'd like to see right there.

806
00:53:44,840 --> 00:53:47,239
Speaker 1: That's like a high number one pick. Yeah, he's one

807
00:53:47,280 --> 00:53:50,520
Speaker 1: of the best linebackers in the business and Tyler Smith

808
00:53:50,920 --> 00:53:54,239
Speaker 1: put him on the ground on the second level. Yep, No,

809
00:53:54,360 --> 00:53:55,799
Speaker 1: that's the stuff you love to see you right there.

810
00:53:55,880 --> 00:53:58,439
Speaker 1: So yeah, that was a that was a good moment

811
00:53:58,480 --> 00:54:00,920
Speaker 1: for me. And that's all right. So when everyone's healthy

812
00:54:01,680 --> 00:54:05,560
Speaker 1: and in the flow and the continuity's going, who's got

813
00:54:05,719 --> 00:54:08,879
Speaker 1: a nasty or streak? You or Tyler Smith? Um, I'm

814
00:54:08,920 --> 00:54:12,120
Speaker 1: gonna go with myself, but Tyler definitely has a NASTG

815
00:54:12,280 --> 00:54:14,880
Speaker 1: two so um that's something I love to see. Oh

816
00:54:15,080 --> 00:54:17,799
Speaker 1: on the left side. So yeah, and how about how

817
00:54:17,840 --> 00:54:20,359
Speaker 1: about the bonding between the two. He had so much

818
00:54:20,480 --> 00:54:23,600
Speaker 1: thrown at him when he came in, you know, left side,

819
00:54:23,680 --> 00:54:26,640
Speaker 1: right side guard ye tackle, but now you know, I

820
00:54:26,680 --> 00:54:29,239
Speaker 1: think people are looking and seeing the two of you.

821
00:54:29,440 --> 00:54:32,120
Speaker 1: Is the bookend tackles here for a long time? Yeah?

822
00:54:32,600 --> 00:54:34,719
Speaker 1: Um yeah, me and him got lockers right next to

823
00:54:34,719 --> 00:54:36,640
Speaker 1: each other in the locker room. So um. You know,

824
00:54:36,840 --> 00:54:38,480
Speaker 1: just from the very first day he came in, you know,

825
00:54:38,560 --> 00:54:40,920
Speaker 1: I told him, whatever you need, you know, don't be

826
00:54:40,960 --> 00:54:43,279
Speaker 1: afraid to ask me. Um, whatever I see from you,

827
00:54:44,360 --> 00:54:46,759
Speaker 1: I'll just tell you, Like if I see something that

828
00:54:46,880 --> 00:54:48,360
Speaker 1: needs to be corrected, and I'll let him know, and

829
00:54:48,480 --> 00:54:50,960
Speaker 1: I'm not afraid to speak up or whatever. So um.

830
00:54:51,120 --> 00:54:54,160
Speaker 1: And then Tyler, he's just a hard working guy. So um,

831
00:54:54,280 --> 00:54:57,640
Speaker 1: you know he came in, um under fire, kind of

832
00:54:57,760 --> 00:55:00,640
Speaker 1: like I was my first season U and he handled

833
00:55:00,680 --> 00:55:03,839
Speaker 1: it very maturely. Uh, worked his butt off, and yeah

834
00:55:04,040 --> 00:55:07,320
Speaker 1: he's doing pretty good now. So does it feel funny

835
00:55:07,440 --> 00:55:11,560
Speaker 1: to be now offering tips to the young guys? Since

836
00:55:11,640 --> 00:55:14,600
Speaker 1: you've been here like for about ten minutes now, it

837
00:55:14,640 --> 00:55:17,000
Speaker 1: has been a little weird, but um, you know, I'm

838
00:55:17,040 --> 00:55:21,600
Speaker 1: never afraid to spread knowledge to whoever needs it. So

839
00:55:22,960 --> 00:55:25,799
Speaker 1: so you said earlier, I don't know if we were

840
00:55:25,880 --> 00:55:27,440
Speaker 1: on the air off the air, but you you are

843
00:55:35,160 --> 00:55:37,560
Speaker 1: Do you think? Um? Or? Is that pushing it a

844
00:55:37,600 --> 00:55:39,839
Speaker 1: little bit? That's up to the change the side. Um,

845
00:55:39,960 --> 00:55:42,000
Speaker 1: it goes out to me. I would wants to be yes,

846
00:55:42,200 --> 00:55:45,600
