You talk more football during the season. I 6 00:00:24,880 --> 00:00:26,880 Speaker 1: want to talk to our guest today about some off 7 00:00:26,920 --> 00:00:28,600 Speaker 1: field stuff because to me, he's one of the most 8 00:00:28,720 --> 00:00:31,680 Speaker 1: fascinating players on this team when it comes to off 9 00:00:31,680 --> 00:00:35,920 Speaker 1: field stuff.

This a lot 16 00:00:55,480 --> 00:00:58,280 Speaker 1: of stuff about the offensive line we'll talk about. But 17 00:00:58,640 --> 00:01:03,600 Speaker 1: any different perspective for you year three compared to year 18 00:01:03,640 --> 00:01:06,480 Speaker 1: two or two or one, anything that you're doing differently, 19 00:01:06,600 --> 00:01:09,960 Speaker 1: thinking about differently? Oh? Well, one man, Since we got 20 00:01:09,959 --> 00:01:12,720 Speaker 1: the new coaching staff and I just really was honed 21 00:01:12,760 --> 00:01:17,000 Speaker 1: in on making sure that I'm ready to go. Just healthy, Um, 22 00:01:17,040 --> 00:01:19,600 Speaker 1: you know, just training every day. I've been training about 23 00:01:19,640 --> 00:01:22,000 Speaker 1: two or three times a day. Um, so I've just 24 00:01:22,080 --> 00:01:24,440 Speaker 1: been on top of that, on top of my technique. 25 00:01:24,440 --> 00:01:26,959 Speaker 1: I went and um got some some coaching in Dallas. 26 00:01:27,040 --> 00:01:29,480 Speaker 1: Will do many weather, you know, just going out and 27 00:01:29,800 --> 00:01:32,160 Speaker 1: trying to learn more and and get out more with 28 00:01:32,240 --> 00:01:34,479 Speaker 1: my training and learn more from different coaches and stuff too. 29 00:01:34,520 --> 00:01:36,319 Speaker 1: So I had an opportunity to go out there and 30 00:01:36,360 --> 00:01:38,839 Speaker 1: be around other veteran players around the NFL just picked 31 00:01:38,840 --> 00:01:41,120 Speaker 1: their brain a little bit. So just doing different things 32 00:01:41,160 --> 00:01:43,520 Speaker 1: throughout all season to better my game. Overall, we're becoming 33 00:01:43,560 --> 00:01:45,520 Speaker 1: a better player. And tell me about your schedule. You 34 00:01:45,520 --> 00:01:48,200 Speaker 1: just said you've been training two or three times a day. Yeah, 35 00:01:48,320 --> 00:01:50,120 Speaker 1: you're talking to a guy who trains about too or 36 00:01:50,120 --> 00:01:54,520 Speaker 1: three times a month. So what do you do? What 37 00:01:54,600 --> 00:01:56,520 Speaker 1: does that entail when you talk about that? Yeah, So 38 00:01:56,560 --> 00:01:58,960 Speaker 1: when I was in Dallas, um, I was training with 39 00:01:59,160 --> 00:02:01,520 Speaker 1: do many weather than warning time. So any time where 40 00:02:01,520 --> 00:02:03,000 Speaker 1: he gave us a slot where it would be the 41 00:02:03,080 --> 00:02:05,720 Speaker 1: latest I'll be training, probably like eleven am. So usually 42 00:02:06,040 --> 00:02:08,440 Speaker 1: I'll go out and just um do some cardio and 43 00:02:08,560 --> 00:02:10,600 Speaker 1: in the evening time or I just find the field 44 00:02:10,639 --> 00:02:13,040 Speaker 1: like near my house or whatever, and um, just do 45 00:02:13,160 --> 00:02:15,800 Speaker 1: the line stuff just technique to so I've been doing that, 46 00:02:15,840 --> 00:02:17,519 Speaker 1: but I would in the O t A stuff. Um. 47 00:02:17,560 --> 00:02:19,680 Speaker 1: I usually when we have days off, I still just 48 00:02:19,720 --> 00:02:21,919 Speaker 1: go do some cardio just things just to stay in shape, 49 00:02:21,960 --> 00:02:23,799 Speaker 1: keep my wind up because at the end of the 50 00:02:23,880 --> 00:02:25,640 Speaker 1: day we back out in the sun, and you know, 51 00:02:25,760 --> 00:02:27,840 Speaker 1: you gotta be able to move around good. So I 52 00:02:27,919 --> 00:02:29,360 Speaker 1: just stay on top of that, just stand on the 53 00:02:29,360 --> 00:02:32,040 Speaker 1: trail of meal and stuff like that. Being from Florida, 54 00:02:32,200 --> 00:02:35,239 Speaker 1: I seen that you learned early on. You've got to 55 00:02:35,280 --> 00:02:37,000 Speaker 1: do that or you're in trouble and all. Oh yeah, 56 00:02:37,040 --> 00:02:40,959 Speaker 1: most definitely, most definitely. I know you're off season isn't 57 00:02:41,000 --> 00:02:43,680 Speaker 1: all working out. You like to do things away from 58 00:02:43,680 --> 00:02:45,680 Speaker 1: football a little bit too when you have a chance. Definitely, 59 00:02:45,760 --> 00:02:47,560 Speaker 1: so far this all season or guess before O t 60 00:02:47,720 --> 00:02:51,560 Speaker 1: A started, what was that? What was your off field stuff? 61 00:02:51,560 --> 00:02:53,480 Speaker 1: I know we got a big fish in your path, 62 00:02:53,760 --> 00:02:57,040 Speaker 1: right Yeah. Man, I'm really easy going guy out the field. Um, 63 00:02:57,160 --> 00:03:00,000 Speaker 1: usually it's just just football. If I'm not doing food 64 00:03:00,040 --> 00:03:03,000 Speaker 1: ball this fishing. Um that's really all I do. Other 65 00:03:03,040 --> 00:03:05,680 Speaker 1: than that, I'm hanging out around the house with my family. Now, 66 00:03:05,720 --> 00:03:09,000 Speaker 1: tell me about the one that made Instagram this year? Um, yeah, 67 00:03:09,040 --> 00:03:11,120 Speaker 1: so that was that was last off season. I was 68 00:03:11,120 --> 00:03:14,200 Speaker 1: out fishing um in Jupiter, Florida. Yeah, so I had 69 00:03:14,200 --> 00:03:15,640 Speaker 1: called that the live group. But I have been doing 70 00:03:15,680 --> 00:03:17,280 Speaker 1: a lot of fishing though this off season too. I 71 00:03:17,320 --> 00:03:19,800 Speaker 1: just haven't posted nothing because I haven't really did any 72 00:03:19,880 --> 00:03:24,600 Speaker 1: big stuff yet, like for big fish. So so me 73 00:03:24,639 --> 00:03:27,160 Speaker 1: and Lenda still haven't been out yet because Lenda ever 74 00:03:27,360 --> 00:03:30,680 Speaker 1: ever since he got a new boat. Yeah. Man, he 75 00:03:30,720 --> 00:03:32,560 Speaker 1: got a lot of friends and family that's been waiting 76 00:03:32,560 --> 00:03:33,920 Speaker 1: on this list to go with him. So I've just 77 00:03:33,919 --> 00:03:36,080 Speaker 1: been waiting my turn. But other than that, I usually 78 00:03:36,120 --> 00:03:38,400 Speaker 1: just go with our family friends and go with Charters 79 00:03:38,440 --> 00:03:42,720 Speaker 1: around Jacksonville. I got you. Yeah. I've been asking players 80 00:03:42,720 --> 00:03:45,880 Speaker 1: that I've talked to this offseason about the culture change here, 81 00:03:47,280 --> 00:03:49,840 Speaker 1: and there's obviously been one, but each guy sort of 82 00:03:49,880 --> 00:03:52,920 Speaker 1: has a different perspective on that. When you got back 83 00:03:53,040 --> 00:03:56,000 Speaker 1: and you started to get to know urban what was 84 00:03:56,040 --> 00:03:59,720 Speaker 1: going on here, your impressions of that, I guess it's been. 85 00:03:59,760 --> 00:04:01,960 Speaker 1: It's been great man, Um just coming in. He came 86 00:04:02,000 --> 00:04:04,400 Speaker 1: in and just let us know what he expected, and 87 00:04:04,640 --> 00:04:06,960 Speaker 1: I just feel like the whole team just bought into it, man, 88 00:04:07,000 --> 00:04:09,440 Speaker 1: and everybody's been loving it ever since. And you know, 89 00:04:09,520 --> 00:04:11,680 Speaker 1: he's just basically just teaching us how to win, how 90 00:04:11,720 --> 00:04:13,920 Speaker 1: to play together as a team. Um, and you know, 91 00:04:14,040 --> 00:04:16,080 Speaker 1: just every unit going out there on Sundays and just 92 00:04:16,120 --> 00:04:18,080 Speaker 1: playing the best. And you know we if our ten 93 00:04:18,240 --> 00:04:20,480 Speaker 1: units I played their teen units, then will win the game. 94 00:04:20,600 --> 00:04:22,919 Speaker 1: So just breaking it down and making it easier for 95 00:04:23,000 --> 00:04:25,039 Speaker 1: us to just teaching us how to win. And You've 96 00:04:25,040 --> 00:04:28,360 Speaker 1: always been a guy who is here in the off season. 97 00:04:28,360 --> 00:04:31,080 Speaker 1: I think after your rookie year for COVID Head, I 98 00:04:31,080 --> 00:04:33,600 Speaker 1: saw you probably second week of January walking around here. 99 00:04:34,279 --> 00:04:38,800 Speaker 1: That's just sort of how you are, isn't it. Yeah, yeah, man, me, 100 00:04:38,920 --> 00:04:41,120 Speaker 1: I'm just the type of person like when the season ends, 101 00:04:41,160 --> 00:04:42,800 Speaker 1: I don't really like to take too long. We're break. 102 00:04:42,880 --> 00:04:44,039 Speaker 1: I do want to take a break the rest of 103 00:04:44,040 --> 00:04:45,680 Speaker 1: my body. But at the end of the day, um, 104 00:04:45,760 --> 00:04:47,600 Speaker 1: you know when I if I sit around for too long, 105 00:04:47,640 --> 00:04:49,400 Speaker 1: I'll get out of shape. So like I like to 106 00:04:49,440 --> 00:04:52,200 Speaker 1: just stay either if I'm not doing you know, nothing crazy, 107 00:04:52,279 --> 00:04:54,279 Speaker 1: no like big heavy lifting, but I will stay on 108 00:04:54,279 --> 00:04:56,880 Speaker 1: the trailmill and then come in for treatment. So I 109 00:04:56,920 --> 00:04:59,240 Speaker 1: probably took like a week or two off after the season. 110 00:04:59,240 --> 00:05:01,440 Speaker 1: I was already back. We're cam out tell him about 111 00:05:01,440 --> 00:05:03,279 Speaker 1: the offensive line room a little bit. A guy who 112 00:05:03,279 --> 00:05:05,440 Speaker 1: doesn't talk to the media a whole lot is is 113 00:05:05,480 --> 00:05:09,120 Speaker 1: that your coach, George Warhotten? Uh, But when you talk 114 00:05:09,160 --> 00:05:11,240 Speaker 1: to players, there's a tremendous respect there, and there's a 115 00:05:11,240 --> 00:05:15,760 Speaker 1: tremendous uh uh understanding, And I guess respect for what 116 00:05:15,800 --> 00:05:18,920 Speaker 1: he does. Uh. What do you like about his approach? 117 00:05:19,000 --> 00:05:20,960 Speaker 1: What do you like about how you guys approach things 118 00:05:21,000 --> 00:05:23,760 Speaker 1: as as an offensive line? A very great approach man. 119 00:05:24,120 --> 00:05:25,880 Speaker 1: Just for one, we all have so much respect for 120 00:05:26,000 --> 00:05:28,320 Speaker 1: him because the experience he has coaching in the NFL. 121 00:05:28,360 --> 00:05:30,600 Speaker 1: He's been going into year twenty six or twenty seven 122 00:05:30,640 --> 00:05:34,000 Speaker 1: nothing now, So Um, he's coached a lot of great players, Um, 123 00:05:34,080 --> 00:05:36,400 Speaker 1: just a lot of the greatest offensive linement to play 124 00:05:36,440 --> 00:05:38,440 Speaker 1: the game. So you know, you can only have so 125 00:05:38,520 --> 00:05:40,599 Speaker 1: much respect for a person like that. It's it's amazing 126 00:05:40,600 --> 00:05:42,560 Speaker 1: man to see. So when he tells us something, we 127 00:05:42,680 --> 00:05:45,040 Speaker 1: definitely listen and we try to implement it into our 128 00:05:45,040 --> 00:05:47,800 Speaker 1: game and become better players. So um. And of course 129 00:05:47,800 --> 00:05:49,719 Speaker 1: he's a great guy off the field to a family guy, 130 00:05:50,000 --> 00:05:51,919 Speaker 1: you know, and we love that about him. So we 131 00:05:52,000 --> 00:05:54,839 Speaker 1: love having him here. He had said before last season, 132 00:05:55,000 --> 00:05:57,240 Speaker 1: and uh, you know, one of the time he spoke 133 00:05:57,279 --> 00:06:00,760 Speaker 1: to the media that it takes a little while to 134 00:06:00,800 --> 00:06:03,120 Speaker 1: get what he's teaching. It's a little bit of a 135 00:06:03,120 --> 00:06:08,039 Speaker 1: different approach for offensive lineman his style. Why is that, 136 00:06:08,080 --> 00:06:11,560 Speaker 1: you think, and is this group? Is it the kind 137 00:06:11,560 --> 00:06:13,760 Speaker 1: of thing that you continually get better at the longer 138 00:06:13,839 --> 00:06:16,320 Speaker 1: year around him? Oh? Yeah, you definitely tend to get 139 00:06:16,320 --> 00:06:18,960 Speaker 1: better around him. There's no questions. As man like, he 140 00:06:19,000 --> 00:06:20,960 Speaker 1: stays on top of different things. If he sees something 141 00:06:20,960 --> 00:06:22,440 Speaker 1: that needs to be fixed, you know, he's gonna let 142 00:06:22,520 --> 00:06:24,480 Speaker 1: us know what what it is. And you know, he's 143 00:06:24,520 --> 00:06:26,600 Speaker 1: the type of coach you can call, you know, outside 144 00:06:26,600 --> 00:06:28,680 Speaker 1: of meetings or another day off the field, of day 145 00:06:28,680 --> 00:06:30,520 Speaker 1: off and just ask him about something. He's always going 146 00:06:30,560 --> 00:06:32,560 Speaker 1: to talk ball with you and um when we are 147 00:06:32,600 --> 00:06:36,400 Speaker 1: watching film at night. Yeah, definitely. Yeah, he's definitely in 148 00:06:36,400 --> 00:06:38,920 Speaker 1: tune with us, even you know, offseason, he's always calling, 149 00:06:39,000 --> 00:06:41,200 Speaker 1: checking on us and stuff. So, um, you know that's 150 00:06:41,240 --> 00:06:43,479 Speaker 1: why we we listened to everything he tells us to do, 151 00:06:43,560 --> 00:06:44,840 Speaker 1: because you know, at the end of the day, that's 152 00:06:44,880 --> 00:06:46,839 Speaker 1: the relationship we built with him, and that's the trust 153 00:06:46,839 --> 00:06:48,720 Speaker 1: we have in each other. So, um, you know it's 154 00:06:48,720 --> 00:06:51,159 Speaker 1: a great coach. You and Cam. A lot of focus 155 00:06:51,240 --> 00:06:54,640 Speaker 1: on you this offseason. Uh, are you guys close to 156 00:06:54,720 --> 00:06:57,080 Speaker 1: you talk about what you want to get done this season? 157 00:06:57,600 --> 00:06:59,599 Speaker 1: Sort of as a tantum? I mean people tend to 158 00:06:59,600 --> 00:07:03,400 Speaker 1: associate offensive tackle tandems together. Well, most definitely. That's crazy 159 00:07:03,440 --> 00:07:04,919 Speaker 1: you asked that because me and Cam were just in 160 00:07:04,920 --> 00:07:07,360 Speaker 1: the locker room today talking about like the upcoming season 161 00:07:07,480 --> 00:07:09,480 Speaker 1: and the different defence of ends we have to face 162 00:07:09,560 --> 00:07:11,440 Speaker 1: this year. Just you know, just having talked, just talking 163 00:07:11,440 --> 00:07:13,240 Speaker 1: about football and other than that, me and Camera are 164 00:07:13,280 --> 00:07:15,920 Speaker 1: really cool off the field. Um, you know another veteran 165 00:07:15,920 --> 00:07:17,600 Speaker 1: that I could look up to and ask questions and 166 00:07:17,600 --> 00:07:21,160 Speaker 1: stuff like that. What's going on with the backward jersey 167 00:07:21,200 --> 00:07:27,120 Speaker 1: with him? What? I think? Yeah, and invariably has his 168 00:07:27,280 --> 00:07:30,680 Speaker 1: jersey on backward Robinson and I think he's been doing 169 00:07:30,720 --> 00:07:33,040 Speaker 1: that since my rookie if I can remember correctly. Um, 170 00:07:33,080 --> 00:07:35,360 Speaker 1: it's just been his thing. Like when we are doing 171 00:07:35,720 --> 00:07:38,720 Speaker 1: any prices where's no pass involved, he always just wears 172 00:07:38,800 --> 00:07:40,720 Speaker 1: jersey backer is kind of like his thing. But um, 173 00:07:40,840 --> 00:07:42,640 Speaker 1: you know, nobody says nothing to him to let him 174 00:07:42,640 --> 00:07:44,720 Speaker 1: do what he does. He likes that fun. I remember 175 00:07:45,120 --> 00:07:48,600 Speaker 1: his rookie year, a coach telling me, this is a 176 00:07:48,680 --> 00:07:51,520 Speaker 1: guy that we need on the field because of his 177 00:07:51,560 --> 00:07:54,960 Speaker 1: passion plan and because of his passion for team. I 178 00:07:54,960 --> 00:07:57,720 Speaker 1: think that's something that people miss about him is how 179 00:07:57,840 --> 00:08:02,280 Speaker 1: much the guys around him rally around him if you will, 180 00:08:02,400 --> 00:08:05,280 Speaker 1: and he's that element. Do you see that out of 181 00:08:05,320 --> 00:08:07,560 Speaker 1: him as well? Oh? Most definitely. Yeah, Man, he's definitely 182 00:08:07,600 --> 00:08:09,840 Speaker 1: passionate love the game. You know, He's one of those 183 00:08:09,840 --> 00:08:12,400 Speaker 1: guys like me, you know, couldn't imagine itself not playing 184 00:08:12,400 --> 00:08:14,200 Speaker 1: the game, you know. So he's gonna give it this 185 00:08:14,280 --> 00:08:18,240 Speaker 1: all every day, practice, games, um, weight room, training room, 186 00:08:18,280 --> 00:08:20,400 Speaker 1: whatever it is to become the best he can be. 187 00:08:20,520 --> 00:08:22,040 Speaker 1: So um. You know, you can only look up at 188 00:08:22,080 --> 00:08:24,400 Speaker 1: somebody like that. So um. That's why I just love 189 00:08:24,480 --> 00:08:26,080 Speaker 1: the guys I came in with when I came in 190 00:08:26,160 --> 00:08:28,560 Speaker 1: my rookie year, you know, Cam a J Lender, Norwell, 191 00:08:29,120 --> 00:08:31,640 Speaker 1: Um Shatley. Just learning from those guys and see him that, 192 00:08:31,800 --> 00:08:33,679 Speaker 1: you know, how they go about there their days and 193 00:08:33,720 --> 00:08:36,960 Speaker 1: their schedule becoming a good pro. So that's all I do. Man. Um. 194 00:08:37,000 --> 00:08:38,920 Speaker 1: Still I feel like I'm still one of the younger guys, 195 00:08:38,920 --> 00:08:41,000 Speaker 1: so I still, you know, just learn different things and 196 00:08:41,240 --> 00:08:44,320 Speaker 1: try to make it myself a better pro. I always 197 00:08:44,360 --> 00:08:47,199 Speaker 1: thought and at a couple of offensive linemen tell me 198 00:08:47,200 --> 00:08:50,120 Speaker 1: it's a long long time ago. Uh. It's the only 199 00:08:50,160 --> 00:08:54,319 Speaker 1: position in football really where nothing good you ever do 200 00:08:54,480 --> 00:08:58,400 Speaker 1: gets noticed, but everything bad gets noticed. If you miss 201 00:08:58,480 --> 00:09:02,959 Speaker 1: one block and have seventy good ones, you had a 202 00:09:03,000 --> 00:09:07,680 Speaker 1: bad game. How do you always ask Lyneman, how do 203 00:09:07,800 --> 00:09:11,960 Speaker 1: you manage that? That's tough because I'm sure even you 204 00:09:12,000 --> 00:09:14,320 Speaker 1: as a player, you come off the field and you're 205 00:09:14,320 --> 00:09:17,280 Speaker 1: thinking about the one play that didn't happen. How do 206 00:09:17,320 --> 00:09:21,600 Speaker 1: you what's your approach to managing that? UM? I guess, well, 207 00:09:21,640 --> 00:09:23,959 Speaker 1: me myself, I'm a person that's always been hard on 208 00:09:24,000 --> 00:09:26,720 Speaker 1: myself and football on my critique myself very hard at 209 00:09:26,760 --> 00:09:28,760 Speaker 1: the games, you know, kind of beat myself up if 210 00:09:28,760 --> 00:09:31,560 Speaker 1: I have bad players whatever. Um. But you know, having 211 00:09:31,600 --> 00:09:34,000 Speaker 1: a coach like coach Warhopp and the teammates that have 212 00:09:34,120 --> 00:09:36,560 Speaker 1: around me, you know, we always uplift and support each other. 213 00:09:36,640 --> 00:09:39,000 Speaker 1: You know, we all make mistakes, nobody's perfect, but you know, 214 00:09:39,040 --> 00:09:40,160 Speaker 1: at the end of the day, we're trying to go 215 00:09:40,200 --> 00:09:41,839 Speaker 1: as hard as we can to win the game, and 216 00:09:41,880 --> 00:09:43,319 Speaker 1: you know, compete because that's what we are there to 217 00:09:43,360 --> 00:09:45,760 Speaker 1: do is win. Um. So at the end of the day, 218 00:09:45,800 --> 00:09:47,480 Speaker 1: like you know, I just try to keep it, keep 219 00:09:47,480 --> 00:09:49,439 Speaker 1: my head on straight, don't really think too much about it, 220 00:09:49,480 --> 00:09:51,600 Speaker 1: and just try to go better whatever I did wrong 221 00:09:51,679 --> 00:09:54,200 Speaker 1: and watch the film and fix the mistakes. So you know, 222 00:09:54,240 --> 00:09:56,440 Speaker 1: and if it is anybody off the field, most people 223 00:09:56,480 --> 00:09:58,160 Speaker 1: that's off the field talking about it, you know, they 224 00:09:58,200 --> 00:10:00,400 Speaker 1: probably never played the position. And if they I've played 225 00:10:00,440 --> 00:10:02,160 Speaker 1: the position, then you know they probably know what they're 226 00:10:02,160 --> 00:10:04,360 Speaker 1: talking about. But sometimes you just can't listen to the 227 00:10:04,360 --> 00:10:06,080 Speaker 1: fans and stuff like that. You just gotta keep doing 228 00:10:06,080 --> 00:10:08,960 Speaker 1: what you know, speaking listening to the fans. No group 229 00:10:09,280 --> 00:10:11,640 Speaker 1: on any team is criticized more than the offensive line. 230 00:10:12,160 --> 00:10:15,559 Speaker 1: But you guys as a group, I'm looking at it, norwell, 231 00:10:16,480 --> 00:10:19,199 Speaker 1: third year around here or fourth year round here? You 232 00:10:19,440 --> 00:10:24,520 Speaker 1: third cam, fourth winder, eight? Can I think six? No 233 00:10:24,640 --> 00:10:26,640 Speaker 1: group on this team has been around each other as 234 00:10:26,640 --> 00:10:30,480 Speaker 1: long as you guys are. How important is that continuity 235 00:10:30,520 --> 00:10:32,880 Speaker 1: to you? And how much will it help you next year? Oh? 236 00:10:33,000 --> 00:10:35,840 Speaker 1: It's very important, man. You know. It's just crazy. It's 237 00:10:35,880 --> 00:10:37,800 Speaker 1: like even when I came in and just I've seen 238 00:10:37,840 --> 00:10:41,360 Speaker 1: the bond and everybody had in their relationships they had 239 00:10:41,400 --> 00:10:43,760 Speaker 1: and since I've been here, the relationship has grown even stronger. 240 00:10:43,800 --> 00:10:46,080 Speaker 1: So having a unit like that where everybody is just 241 00:10:46,120 --> 00:10:48,280 Speaker 1: so you know, jailed together and you know we all 242 00:10:48,280 --> 00:10:51,000 Speaker 1: played together play for one another is always amazing. And 243 00:10:51,040 --> 00:10:52,720 Speaker 1: you know, as a year ago on, you know, just 244 00:10:52,760 --> 00:10:54,920 Speaker 1: hoping all us still here and we keep playing together 245 00:10:54,920 --> 00:10:56,760 Speaker 1: because that's a great group of guys, and you know, 246 00:10:56,880 --> 00:10:58,679 Speaker 1: we all fight for one another, we all hold each 247 00:10:58,679 --> 00:11:01,520 Speaker 1: other accountable. You know, we all want to win. So 248 00:11:01,600 --> 00:11:03,040 Speaker 1: at the end of the day, we're excited to play 249 00:11:03,040 --> 00:11:05,440 Speaker 1: with each other. Now, is this the case? And again 250 00:11:05,480 --> 00:11:07,360 Speaker 1: you mentioned people who haven't played offensive line, you can 251 00:11:07,400 --> 00:11:11,000 Speaker 1: look at me and tell I didn't play. Is this 252 00:11:11,080 --> 00:11:14,360 Speaker 1: the case where after two years playing next to a 253 00:11:14,520 --> 00:11:17,080 Speaker 1: j you don't have to think about where he's going 254 00:11:17,120 --> 00:11:18,880 Speaker 1: to be on a given play. Did he get to 255 00:11:18,960 --> 00:11:23,880 Speaker 1: that level of uh, I guess chemistry or definitely the 256 00:11:23,920 --> 00:11:26,560 Speaker 1: chemistry of the AJ is amazing. Man. Like, we can 257 00:11:26,600 --> 00:11:28,520 Speaker 1: come to the ball and you know, we already know 258 00:11:28,559 --> 00:11:30,760 Speaker 1: what we're gonna do, even if it's a pressure of bliques, 259 00:11:30,800 --> 00:11:32,600 Speaker 1: whatever we don't even really have to say anything. We 260 00:11:32,600 --> 00:11:34,560 Speaker 1: could just point to each other. We're always cute in 261 00:11:35,280 --> 00:11:38,280 Speaker 1: um so yeah, me and A j that it's crazy chemistry. 262 00:11:38,520 --> 00:11:42,319 Speaker 1: It's good and you guys as a line, listen to 263 00:11:42,480 --> 00:11:47,480 Speaker 1: people when it's the criticism is always out there? Is 264 00:11:47,520 --> 00:11:51,800 Speaker 1: that A is that motivation? Is it something you don't 265 00:11:51,800 --> 00:11:55,440 Speaker 1: think about? How do you how would you define that? 266 00:11:55,480 --> 00:12:00,000 Speaker 1: Because I think, uh, somebody told me once every offensive 267 00:12:00,040 --> 00:12:03,880 Speaker 1: one on every team is always going to be the 268 00:12:03,880 --> 00:12:06,520 Speaker 1: most criticized unit. It's just the nature of the Beast 269 00:12:07,280 --> 00:12:09,079 Speaker 1: as a group. Do you think about that or is 270 00:12:09,120 --> 00:12:10,920 Speaker 1: it just something where you see is what it is 271 00:12:10,960 --> 00:12:12,800 Speaker 1: and we know? Yeah, I mean, like I said, is 272 00:12:12,800 --> 00:12:14,679 Speaker 1: what it is. Usually Like me, I'm the type of 273 00:12:14,720 --> 00:12:17,000 Speaker 1: guy I'm always self motivated. I don't need you know, 274 00:12:17,360 --> 00:12:20,440 Speaker 1: the people around me or the fans whatever to motivate me. 275 00:12:20,679 --> 00:12:21,840 Speaker 1: At the end of the day, I'm out here to 276 00:12:21,840 --> 00:12:23,840 Speaker 1: do my job and play football. I love a game, 277 00:12:23,920 --> 00:12:26,040 Speaker 1: passionate about the game. So and I know a mot 278 00:12:26,040 --> 00:12:28,200 Speaker 1: of mistakes I make. Whatever the people see on TV 279 00:12:28,400 --> 00:12:30,240 Speaker 1: or see in the stands, you know, I know what 280 00:12:30,280 --> 00:12:32,280 Speaker 1: I did. So if it's something I need to fix, 281 00:12:32,280 --> 00:12:34,400 Speaker 1: I'm gonna fix it. I'm motivated, you know, enough for 282 00:12:34,480 --> 00:12:36,520 Speaker 1: myself to want to go make it better, make myself 283 00:12:36,559 --> 00:12:39,280 Speaker 1: a better player. So how often you hear something where 284 00:12:39,280 --> 00:12:42,760 Speaker 1: you're like that ain't how it is? Yeah, I mean, yeah, 285 00:12:42,800 --> 00:12:44,520 Speaker 1: you have a lot of time. Man. It's crazy because 286 00:12:44,559 --> 00:12:45,800 Speaker 1: you know, you get a lot of people out there, 287 00:12:45,840 --> 00:12:49,280 Speaker 1: the trolls and stuff on Twitter and you know, Instagram whatever. 288 00:12:49,360 --> 00:12:51,000 Speaker 1: But at the end of the day, like you know, 289 00:12:51,040 --> 00:12:54,440 Speaker 1: you can't feed into it. What are your thoughts about 290 00:12:54,440 --> 00:12:56,800 Speaker 1: this season overall? And is it just at this point 291 00:12:56,840 --> 00:12:59,520 Speaker 1: where you don't think about what the record might be 292 00:12:59,559 --> 00:13:03,600 Speaker 1: at said, You're just so focused on preparing and seeing 293 00:13:03,640 --> 00:13:05,679 Speaker 1: what this new thing is gonna look like. I guess 294 00:13:05,920 --> 00:13:07,840 Speaker 1: um me, man, I'm just the type of guy like 295 00:13:07,880 --> 00:13:10,240 Speaker 1: I'm just you know, just every day chopping wood. Um. 296 00:13:10,320 --> 00:13:12,360 Speaker 1: I feel like our team were just like Urban All 297 00:13:12,400 --> 00:13:14,480 Speaker 1: this is stack in great days on top of great days. 298 00:13:14,520 --> 00:13:16,560 Speaker 1: So that's what we're on right now. Man. We're not 299 00:13:16,600 --> 00:13:18,320 Speaker 1: looking ahead. We're just trying to take it one day 300 00:13:18,320 --> 00:13:20,160 Speaker 1: at a time, and then once we get to week one, 301 00:13:20,160 --> 00:13:21,960 Speaker 1: we're just gonna handle a week one week to him 302 00:13:22,000 --> 00:13:23,480 Speaker 1: the week two, We're gonna take it one game at 303 00:13:23,480 --> 00:13:26,040 Speaker 1: a time. So um, whatever the outcome is at the outcome. 304 00:13:26,440 --> 00:13:28,760 Speaker 1: So that's kind of like what he's teaching us right now. 305 00:13:28,880 --> 00:13:31,040 Speaker 1: We're not looking too far ahead, just focused on, you know, 306 00:13:31,160 --> 00:13:33,679 Speaker 1: stack stacking great days at the great day.
