1
00:00:00,840 --> 00:00:02,679
Speaker 1: It's definitely been a long camp, but it's been fun.

2
00:00:02,800 --> 00:00:05,200
Speaker 1: You know, that's some good competition. Like we talked about before,

3
00:00:05,600 --> 00:00:07,680
Speaker 1: he's kind of banging it has against those guys every day,

4
00:00:07,800 --> 00:00:09,480
Speaker 1: so ready to play somebody else.

5
00:00:11,280 --> 00:00:14,560
Speaker 2: What's it been like going up against uh Javon Hardrive

6
00:00:14,680 --> 00:00:17,480
Speaker 2: just to sort of a different guy maybe than what

7
00:00:17,680 --> 00:00:19,720
Speaker 2: we've gone a gone up against you the past.

8
00:00:20,079 --> 00:00:22,320
Speaker 3: Uh, he's as advertised that it was good.

9
00:00:22,520 --> 00:00:24,279
Speaker 1: He's a really good players, really strong, he plays a

10
00:00:24,280 --> 00:00:27,760
Speaker 1: really good leverage and he just keeps going like he's

11
00:00:27,800 --> 00:00:29,960
Speaker 1: the guy that just continues to rush, continues to play

12
00:00:30,000 --> 00:00:31,880
Speaker 1: hard and you know he's definitely a handful.

13
00:00:32,280 --> 00:00:35,360
Speaker 2: Does teach you about your own leverage? Mean to get

14
00:00:35,400 --> 00:00:37,920
Speaker 2: get you into the the mode where I've got to

15
00:00:38,320 --> 00:00:39,360
Speaker 2: get lower and or s.

16
00:00:39,520 --> 00:00:41,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean he's different from a lot of guys

17
00:00:41,840 --> 00:00:43,559
Speaker 1: that you know, I've I've had to block and had

18
00:00:43,560 --> 00:00:44,200
Speaker 1: to play against.

19
00:00:45,240 --> 00:00:46,960
Speaker 3: But he's also just really powerful with it.

20
00:00:47,440 --> 00:00:50,519
Speaker 1: So just stopping that from a leverage standpoint and a

21
00:00:50,520 --> 00:00:54,760
Speaker 1: strength standpoint and something that's been you know, not easy.

22
00:00:54,920 --> 00:00:58,400
Speaker 1: You know, it's definitely been uh a grind to kind

23
00:00:58,400 --> 00:01:00,120
Speaker 1: of figure that guy out a little bit. But you

24
00:01:00,160 --> 00:01:01,960
Speaker 1: know it's been. I think that it's been back and

25
00:01:02,000 --> 00:01:04,839
Speaker 1: forth for us d Did you.

26
00:01:04,959 --> 00:01:07,959
Speaker 4: Uh last week when you had to come out of practice, Uh,

27
00:01:08,000 --> 00:01:10,480
Speaker 4: we're dizzy. I mean what can you kind of go over?

28
00:01:10,520 --> 00:01:11,360
Speaker 3: What what happened?

29
00:01:11,520 --> 00:01:14,199
Speaker 4: Coach Forster said, he lost like fourteen pounds.

30
00:01:13,800 --> 00:01:16,200
Speaker 3: And yeah, and I cramped up. It happens.

31
00:01:17,680 --> 00:01:19,360
Speaker 1: I had lost a decent amount of weight the day

32
00:01:19,400 --> 00:01:21,160
Speaker 1: before and then it was hell of hot out there.

33
00:01:21,240 --> 00:01:23,759
Speaker 1: It was like ninety and I was trying to get

34
00:01:23,760 --> 00:01:26,279
Speaker 1: it back that night and that morning and just couldn't

35
00:01:26,280 --> 00:01:27,760
Speaker 1: get it all the way back. And it's hard, but

36
00:01:27,880 --> 00:01:29,840
Speaker 1: it's just practice are hard. We practiced at a very

37
00:01:29,880 --> 00:01:33,960
Speaker 1: fast paced, fast tempo, and you know it's bound to happen. Honestly,

38
00:01:34,720 --> 00:01:36,800
Speaker 1: in the past, I cramped up, you know, a decent

39
00:01:36,840 --> 00:01:40,080
Speaker 1: amount in camp like up to that point, Like that

40
00:01:40,160 --> 00:01:42,080
Speaker 1: was my first time this training camp. So I think

41
00:01:42,120 --> 00:01:44,080
Speaker 1: that's a step, you know step for me.

42
00:01:44,800 --> 00:01:47,560
Speaker 3: Yeah. Yeah, what a part?

43
00:01:47,760 --> 00:01:50,040
Speaker 4: What a What part of your game has most improved

44
00:01:50,080 --> 00:01:50,840
Speaker 4: since last year?

45
00:01:54,240 --> 00:01:55,279
Speaker 3: I think just all around.

46
00:01:55,280 --> 00:01:57,240
Speaker 1: I think my run blocking has gotten a bit better.

47
00:01:57,920 --> 00:01:59,680
Speaker 1: I think that's something that I've been working on this

48
00:01:59,720 --> 00:02:02,720
Speaker 1: off using and trying to make sure that you know,

49
00:02:03,000 --> 00:02:04,760
Speaker 1: if we can move the chains on first second down,

50
00:02:04,760 --> 00:02:06,600
Speaker 1: we know they need to get the third down, so

51
00:02:07,160 --> 00:02:08,680
Speaker 1: you know, trying to be as the best I can

52
00:02:08,720 --> 00:02:12,200
Speaker 1: be on each down, first, second, third, doesn't matter. You know,

53
00:02:12,320 --> 00:02:13,840
Speaker 1: same thing I was doing last year, just trying to

54
00:02:13,840 --> 00:02:15,640
Speaker 1: improve each day.

55
00:02:16,360 --> 00:02:18,799
Speaker 4: I guess your mindset this year as oposed the last year,

56
00:02:18,840 --> 00:02:21,400
Speaker 4: going into a season opener knowing that how well you

57
00:02:21,400 --> 00:02:23,960
Speaker 4: progressed about your rookie year kind of what are you

58
00:02:24,000 --> 00:02:26,399
Speaker 4: anticipating when you guys get to Pittsburgh next week?

59
00:02:26,440 --> 00:02:27,919
Speaker 3: Not as many butterflies.

60
00:02:27,520 --> 00:02:30,359
Speaker 1: Or I mean, it's a team that I haven't seen,

61
00:02:30,360 --> 00:02:33,560
Speaker 1: and they have really good players up front. You know,

62
00:02:33,600 --> 00:02:37,000
Speaker 1: cam Vers a very strong big player, and I think,

63
00:02:37,280 --> 00:02:39,240
Speaker 1: you know, block and hard Grave each day is you know,

64
00:02:39,280 --> 00:02:42,000
Speaker 1: a good lead up into you know what kind of

65
00:02:42,000 --> 00:02:44,120
Speaker 1: player he is. But across the board, they you know,

66
00:02:44,120 --> 00:02:45,639
Speaker 1: I think I think they're a really good team. I

67
00:02:45,680 --> 00:02:47,440
Speaker 1: think that you know, they're a little bit slept on.

68
00:02:47,560 --> 00:02:49,200
Speaker 1: So it'll be fun here.

69
00:02:49,440 --> 00:02:53,320
Speaker 4: Last year was you and Spencer Jake in the middle

70
00:02:53,360 --> 00:02:54,680
Speaker 4: there for the first time.

71
00:02:55,000 --> 00:02:56,760
Speaker 3: Now he had a whole year to work on it.

72
00:02:56,840 --> 00:03:00,079
Speaker 4: How's the communication improved between the three of you and

73
00:03:00,520 --> 00:03:02,200
Speaker 4: how would you would you say you guys are improved

74
00:03:02,200 --> 00:03:04,200
Speaker 4: overall since a year ago.

75
00:03:04,320 --> 00:03:08,360
Speaker 1: Well, I think the communication has definitely improved, and that

76
00:03:08,400 --> 00:03:11,000
Speaker 1: comes with you know, spending times with guys. You know,

77
00:03:11,000 --> 00:03:13,160
Speaker 1: we've I think we've had a lot of time to jail,

78
00:03:13,280 --> 00:03:16,080
Speaker 1: a lot of time to you know, become cohesive and

79
00:03:16,200 --> 00:03:18,240
Speaker 1: even just do camp. Like just from where we are

80
00:03:18,280 --> 00:03:20,440
Speaker 1: now to where we were last year in camp, Like

81
00:03:21,400 --> 00:03:24,120
Speaker 1: there's not a dissertation at the line scrimmage, like you know,

82
00:03:24,160 --> 00:03:25,920
Speaker 1: we we know what we're doing, like, oh we didn't.

83
00:03:26,600 --> 00:03:28,480
Speaker 1: Very little needs to be said when we go up

84
00:03:28,480 --> 00:03:30,040
Speaker 1: to like cause we're all on the same page and

85
00:03:30,080 --> 00:03:30,680
Speaker 1: know what we're doing.

86
00:03:32,160 --> 00:03:32,440
Speaker 2: Almost.

89
00:03:37,560 --> 00:03:39,560
Speaker 1: similar in the huddle, Like they command the huddle. They

90
00:03:39,600 --> 00:03:42,560
Speaker 1: come in and they their presences felt like they're running

91
00:03:42,560 --> 00:03:44,920
Speaker 1: the huddle, and you know, it's it's kind of just

92
00:03:44,920 --> 00:03:47,280
Speaker 1: what you expect from a quarterback. And I think you

93
00:03:47,320 --> 00:03:49,760
Speaker 1: know what you expect from each of our quarterbacks is

94
00:03:49,920 --> 00:03:50,200
Speaker 1: the same.

95
00:03:50,240 --> 00:03:51,160
Speaker 3: And they all present that.

96
00:03:52,520 --> 00:03:56,240
Speaker 4: Hargreg seem seem Hardgret seems very quiet, seems any different

97
00:03:56,240 --> 00:03:58,280
Speaker 4: on the field or see ever talked trash or.

98
00:03:58,440 --> 00:03:59,960
Speaker 3: Nah, nah, he's a quiet due.

99
00:04:02,240 --> 00:04:04,840
Speaker 1: That is that kind of funny when or just I

100
00:04:04,880 --> 00:04:06,560
Speaker 1: don't know, what's it like when the guy's quiet and

101
00:04:06,600 --> 00:04:08,840
Speaker 1: then he's just you know, like a bulldozer on the field.

102
00:04:11,240 --> 00:04:11,600
Speaker 3: I don't know.

103
00:04:11,840 --> 00:04:14,440
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm not a big talker anyway, so it's

104
00:04:14,520 --> 00:04:19,080
Speaker 1: kind of just you know, we're out there working. Yeah,

105
00:04:19,120 --> 00:04:22,320
Speaker 1: I don't know. Not everybody talks, and it's just what

106
00:04:22,360 --> 00:04:22,720
Speaker 1: it is.

107
00:04:23,680 --> 00:04:26,440
Speaker 3: You had any one on ones with Clia Davis.

108
00:04:26,080 --> 00:04:29,120
Speaker 4: And and give us your thoughts on kin Law as well,

109
00:04:29,200 --> 00:04:32,080
Speaker 4: those two guys obviously in the running from roster spots.

110
00:04:32,200 --> 00:04:34,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, I haven't had any I haven't had many reps

111
00:04:34,480 --> 00:04:37,080
Speaker 1: against Katie, but I've had a decent amount of reps

112
00:04:37,120 --> 00:04:39,080
Speaker 1: with kin Law. And I think ken Law is playing

113
00:04:39,120 --> 00:04:43,240
Speaker 1: with you know, some fires and physicality. I really just

114
00:04:43,520 --> 00:04:47,000
Speaker 1: can see, you know, him him returning kin Law. I

115
00:04:47,040 --> 00:04:49,200
Speaker 1: think he's come a long way, you know, not just

116
00:04:49,560 --> 00:04:51,200
Speaker 1: on the field, but off the field. I think he's

117
00:04:51,320 --> 00:04:52,599
Speaker 1: in a good space right now.

118
00:04:55,279 --> 00:04:57,679
Speaker 3: That's it. Yeah,
