Speaker 1: It's definitely been a long camp, but it's been fun.
Speaker 1: You know, that's some good competition. Like we talked about before,
Speaker 1: he's kind of banging it has against those guys every day,
Speaker 1: so ready to play somebody else.
Speaker 2: What's it been like going up against uh Javon Hardrive
Speaker 2: just to sort of a different guy maybe than what
Speaker 2: we've gone a gone up against you the past.
Speaker 3: Uh, he's as advertised that it was good.
Speaker 1: He's a really good players, really strong, he plays a
Speaker 1: really good leverage and he just keeps going like he's
Speaker 1: the guy that just continues to rush, continues to play
Speaker 1: hard and you know he's definitely a handful.
Speaker 2: Does teach you about your own leverage? Mean to get
Speaker 2: get you into the the mode where I've got to
Speaker 2: get lower and or s.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean he's different from a lot of guys
Speaker 1: that you know, I've I've had to block and had
Speaker 1: to play against.
Speaker 3: But he's also just really powerful with it.
Speaker 1: So just stopping that from a leverage standpoint and a
Speaker 1: strength standpoint and something that's been you know, not easy.
Speaker 1: You know, it's definitely been uh a grind to kind
Speaker 1: of figure that guy out a little bit. But you
Speaker 1: know it's been. I think that it's been back and
Speaker 1: forth for us d Did you.
Speaker 4: Uh last week when you had to come out of practice, Uh,
Speaker 4: we're dizzy. I mean what can you kind of go over?
Speaker 3: What what happened?
Speaker 4: Coach Forster said, he lost like fourteen pounds.
Speaker 3: And yeah, and I cramped up. It happens.
Speaker 1: I had lost a decent amount of weight the day
Speaker 1: before and then it was hell of hot out there.
Speaker 1: It was like ninety and I was trying to get
Speaker 1: it back that night and that morning and just couldn't
Speaker 1: get it all the way back. And it's hard, but
Speaker 1: it's just practice are hard. We practiced at a very
Speaker 1: fast paced, fast tempo, and you know it's bound to happen. Honestly,
Speaker 1: in the past, I cramped up, you know, a decent
Speaker 1: amount in camp like up to that point, Like that
Speaker 1: was my first time this training camp. So I think
Speaker 1: that's a step, you know step for me.
Speaker 3: Yeah. Yeah, what a part?
Speaker 4: What a What part of your game has most improved
Speaker 4: since last year?
Speaker 3: I think just all around.
Speaker 1: I think my run blocking has gotten a bit better.
Speaker 1: I think that's something that I've been working on this
Speaker 1: off using and trying to make sure that you know,
Speaker 1: if we can move the chains on first second down,
Speaker 1: we know they need to get the third down, so
Speaker 1: you know, trying to be as the best I can
Speaker 1: be on each down, first, second, third, doesn't matter. You know,
Speaker 1: same thing I was doing last year, just trying to
Speaker 1: improve each day.
Speaker 4: I guess your mindset this year as oposed the last year,
Speaker 4: going into a season opener knowing that how well you
Speaker 4: progressed about your rookie year kind of what are you
Speaker 4: anticipating when you guys get to Pittsburgh next week?
Speaker 3: Not as many butterflies.
Speaker 1: Or I mean, it's a team that I haven't seen,
Speaker 1: and they have really good players up front. You know,
Speaker 1: cam Vers a very strong big player, and I think,
Speaker 1: you know, block and hard Grave each day is you know,
Speaker 1: a good lead up into you know what kind of
Speaker 1: player he is. But across the board, they you know,
Speaker 1: I think I think they're a really good team. I
Speaker 1: think that you know, they're a little bit slept on.
Speaker 1: So it'll be fun here.
Speaker 4: Last year was you and Spencer Jake in the middle
Speaker 4: there for the first time.
Speaker 3: Now he had a whole year to work on it.
Speaker 4: How's the communication improved between the three of you and
Speaker 4: how would you would you say you guys are improved
Speaker 4: overall since a year ago.
Speaker 1: Well, I think the communication has definitely improved, and that
Speaker 1: comes with you know, spending times with guys. You know,
Speaker 1: we've I think we've had a lot of time to jail,
Speaker 1: a lot of time to you know, become cohesive and
Speaker 1: even just do camp. Like just from where we are
Speaker 1: now to where we were last year in camp, Like
Speaker 1: there's not a dissertation at the line scrimmage, like you know,
Speaker 1: we we know what we're doing, like, oh we didn't.
Speaker 1: Very little needs to be said when we go up
Speaker 1: to like cause we're all on the same page and
Speaker 1: know what we're doing.
Speaker 2: Almost.
Speaker 1: Sam darnle beIN of the huddle, what is it h
Speaker 1: how is he different? I feel like they're all very
Speaker 1: similar in the huddle, Like they command the huddle. They
Speaker 1: come in and they their presences felt like they're running
Speaker 1: the huddle, and you know, it's it's kind of just
Speaker 1: what you expect from a quarterback. And I think you
Speaker 1: know what you expect from each of our quarterbacks is
Speaker 1: the same.
Speaker 3: And they all present that.
Speaker 4: Hargreg seem seem Hardgret seems very quiet, seems any different
Speaker 4: on the field or see ever talked trash or.
Speaker 3: Nah, nah, he's a quiet due.
Speaker 1: That is that kind of funny when or just I
Speaker 1: don't know, what's it like when the guy's quiet and
Speaker 1: then he's just you know, like a bulldozer on the field.
Speaker 3: I don't know.
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm not a big talker anyway, so it's
Speaker 1: kind of just you know, we're out there working. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I don't know. Not everybody talks, and it's just what
Speaker 1: it is.
Speaker 3: You had any one on ones with Clia Davis.
Speaker 4: And and give us your thoughts on kin Law as well,
Speaker 4: those two guys obviously in the running from roster spots.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I haven't had any I haven't had many reps
Speaker 1: against Katie, but I've had a decent amount of reps
Speaker 1: with kin Law. And I think ken Law is playing
Speaker 1: with you know, some fires and physicality. I really just
Speaker 1: can see, you know, him him returning kin Law. I
Speaker 1: think he's come a long way, you know, not just
Speaker 1: on the field, but off the field. I think he's
Speaker 1: in a good space right now.
Speaker 3: That's it. Yeah,
