Assuming we're doing this 6 00:00:16,120 --> 00:00:18,880 Speaker 1: before meetings, so you haven't been through the tape yet, 7 00:00:19,440 --> 00:00:21,919 Speaker 1: not at all? All right? So let let me ask 8 00:00:21,920 --> 00:00:25,480 Speaker 1: you then, just based on your feel what was your 9 00:00:25,480 --> 00:00:28,520 Speaker 1: thought on just how things went yesterday for for you 10 00:00:28,560 --> 00:00:33,080 Speaker 1: guys up front? UH, decided to get a win. That's 11 00:00:33,080 --> 00:00:35,360 Speaker 1: how that matters. Do we review the film? I guess 12 00:00:35,840 --> 00:00:38,280 Speaker 1: we'll be able to talk about it more with these 13 00:00:38,360 --> 00:00:41,280 Speaker 1: with each other within the group. UM, and needs to 14 00:00:41,320 --> 00:00:44,120 Speaker 1: go from there. But like I always say to you guys, 15 00:00:44,120 --> 00:00:48,680 Speaker 1: it's always rule for improvement. Any plans for the bye 16 00:00:49,800 --> 00:00:52,159 Speaker 1: UM to spend time with my family, let's see it. 17 00:00:53,360 --> 00:00:56,520 Speaker 1: And I wanted to ask you about the last two games. UM. 18 00:00:57,560 --> 00:01:02,800 Speaker 1: We remember Chicago. There were the tough start in that game. 19 00:01:03,040 --> 00:01:06,280 Speaker 1: Whether those calls were justified or not, it feels like 20 00:01:06,280 --> 00:01:09,720 Speaker 1: the last two games. How do you feel you know 21 00:01:09,800 --> 00:01:16,040 Speaker 1: you've you've sort of played after that start to that game? Um, well, 22 00:01:16,080 --> 00:01:17,880 Speaker 1: I I just I kind of had to put that 23 00:01:17,959 --> 00:01:20,520 Speaker 1: game behind me and I got to be the player 24 00:01:20,560 --> 00:01:23,520 Speaker 1: that my team needs me to be. And then my 25 00:01:23,600 --> 00:01:27,880 Speaker 1: last one trent Um with Mac. I was just started 26 00:01:27,880 --> 00:01:32,160 Speaker 1: watching yesterday's game over and even that play where he 27 00:01:32,200 --> 00:01:35,160 Speaker 1: pushes Jacobe on the third and one. I don't know 28 00:01:35,160 --> 00:01:36,960 Speaker 1: if you even knew that he did that, because you're 29 00:01:37,000 --> 00:01:39,640 Speaker 1: you're probably in the thing there, But what what are 30 00:01:39,640 --> 00:01:42,959 Speaker 1: you seeing from him just in terms of just staying up? 31 00:01:43,040 --> 00:01:45,639 Speaker 1: You know, when you guys are are are not always 32 00:01:45,640 --> 00:01:49,720 Speaker 1: stringing together plays on a on a play by play basis. Well, 33 00:01:49,720 --> 00:01:51,200 Speaker 1: I think I think that's one of the things that 34 00:01:51,400 --> 00:01:54,120 Speaker 1: I've always admired the Bottoms since he first got here, 35 00:01:54,240 --> 00:01:56,280 Speaker 1: is how he's he's willing it to put his body 36 00:01:56,280 --> 00:01:59,080 Speaker 1: on the line. I think last year, Uh, they were 37 00:01:59,080 --> 00:02:01,800 Speaker 1: playing the Jets day I wasn't I wasn't playing. I 38 00:02:01,920 --> 00:02:07,840 Speaker 1: was injured at the time. But um, he ran like 39 00:02:07,960 --> 00:02:11,359 Speaker 1: forty fifty yards to kind of help along with a 40 00:02:11,400 --> 00:02:14,640 Speaker 1: couple of other guys to kind of help push Damien 41 00:02:14,720 --> 00:02:17,320 Speaker 1: into the end zone. I believe it was. So I 42 00:02:17,360 --> 00:02:19,360 Speaker 1: think that's just a part of his nature and a 43 00:02:19,360 --> 00:02:24,560 Speaker 1: part of the type of player he is next question 44 00:02:24,600 --> 00:02:28,160 Speaker 1: Mark Daniels fall by Jacote Randall. Hey're trying to I've 45 00:02:28,160 --> 00:02:30,960 Speaker 1: noticed with Mac two maybe you know a sack happens 46 00:02:31,040 --> 00:02:33,960 Speaker 1: something like that. He's um often coming to you guys 47 00:02:33,960 --> 00:02:36,960 Speaker 1: the offensive line on the sideline. What's it like and 48 00:02:37,040 --> 00:02:39,480 Speaker 1: what's what's sort of his message to you? Um when 49 00:02:39,520 --> 00:02:42,560 Speaker 1: you know we're seeing that, It's just it's just more 50 00:02:42,600 --> 00:02:47,800 Speaker 1: so of h a team type of thing. How he 51 00:02:47,840 --> 00:02:49,720 Speaker 1: needs us and we need him and we all need 52 00:02:49,760 --> 00:02:52,720 Speaker 1: each other. Just trying to encourage us and uh to 53 00:02:52,880 --> 00:02:56,800 Speaker 1: keep going and not worry about it play the next play. 54 00:02:57,040 --> 00:02:58,920 Speaker 1: Well what does what does that say about him? And 55 00:02:59,040 --> 00:03:02,079 Speaker 1: it's just his you know, is evolution as a leader here. 56 00:03:03,440 --> 00:03:05,880 Speaker 1: I think it's just a it's trying to stay positive. 57 00:03:06,560 --> 00:03:09,280 Speaker 1: Uh it's easy to you know, right the wave and 58 00:03:09,360 --> 00:03:12,120 Speaker 1: point fingers. But you know this is every We all 59 00:03:12,160 --> 00:03:14,919 Speaker 1: know that everybody, all the living on the field, both 60 00:03:14,919 --> 00:03:17,160 Speaker 1: sides of the ball, get paid to do this because 61 00:03:17,200 --> 00:03:19,520 Speaker 1: we're good at what we do. UM. So I think 62 00:03:19,560 --> 00:03:22,080 Speaker 1: he's just an understanding that it's a long game. You 63 00:03:22,120 --> 00:03:25,480 Speaker 1: can't really get it right the way you got to 64 00:03:25,520 --> 00:03:29,000 Speaker 1: stay even culled when and when it comes to some 65 00:03:29,080 --> 00:03:31,720 Speaker 1: of the struggles you know up front? Is there is 66 00:03:31,760 --> 00:03:34,360 Speaker 1: there a common denominator you've felt you know this season 67 00:03:34,639 --> 00:03:36,800 Speaker 1: or you know, is it sort of I guess based 68 00:03:36,840 --> 00:03:39,560 Speaker 1: on the individual matchups and you know, situation each week. 69 00:03:40,320 --> 00:03:47,400 Speaker 1: I think it's based on individual matchups. Thanks Trent. My 70 00:03:47,520 --> 00:03:52,920 Speaker 1: next question Dakota ran off fall by Zach Cox. He's Trent. Uh. 71 00:03:53,680 --> 00:03:55,800 Speaker 1: In the preseason and the Miami game, you guys had 72 00:03:56,160 --> 00:03:58,360 Speaker 1: Billy Eates coming down from the booth, but since then 73 00:03:59,120 --> 00:04:00,800 Speaker 1: you've had him on the side line throughout the game. 74 00:04:00,960 --> 00:04:02,560 Speaker 1: Just wondering, you know, were you a fan of that 75 00:04:02,640 --> 00:04:05,840 Speaker 1: change and how would you describe the any game offensive 76 00:04:05,880 --> 00:04:09,680 Speaker 1: line coaching through nine weeks. I think I think it's 77 00:04:09,720 --> 00:04:12,840 Speaker 1: important for us to be able to get the right 78 00:04:12,960 --> 00:04:16,919 Speaker 1: that second coaching and adjustments uh and not really have 79 00:04:17,040 --> 00:04:21,760 Speaker 1: to um do it ourselves, I think, or or because 80 00:04:21,880 --> 00:04:25,960 Speaker 1: I think some of the other coaches are are doing 81 00:04:25,960 --> 00:04:29,200 Speaker 1: so many other things from I mean, from each offensive events. 82 00:04:30,240 --> 00:04:34,200 Speaker 1: Is nice to have our own delegated coach to go 83 00:04:34,560 --> 00:04:37,160 Speaker 1: walk walk us through things as they're being spoken about 84 00:04:37,160 --> 00:04:41,920 Speaker 1: through the headshits and uh uncles. Strange, you know you've 85 00:04:41,920 --> 00:04:44,440 Speaker 1: been playing alongside him since the spring. You know, what 86 00:04:44,480 --> 00:04:47,360 Speaker 1: have you thought about his overall performance as a rookie, 87 00:04:47,360 --> 00:04:48,800 Speaker 1: And I guess what your message been to him as 88 00:04:48,800 --> 00:04:50,160 Speaker 1: he's kind of gone through a little bit of a 89 00:04:50,200 --> 00:04:52,720 Speaker 1: struggle here in the last couple of weeks. I tell 90 00:04:52,760 --> 00:04:56,400 Speaker 1: him before everything before every game is just ball. UM 91 00:04:56,680 --> 00:04:59,560 Speaker 1: try to I try to keep them level headed and 92 00:04:59,680 --> 00:05:03,599 Speaker 1: not get into his head about what's going on. Everybody's 93 00:05:03,600 --> 00:05:05,800 Speaker 1: gonna make gonna have some bad players here and there, 94 00:05:05,839 --> 00:05:10,400 Speaker 1: but you just gotta do what you do and play 95 00:05:10,440 --> 00:05:15,200 Speaker 1: your game and not let anything else deter you or 96 00:05:15,720 --> 00:05:20,560 Speaker 1: discourage you. And just one final one you've played. I 97 00:05:20,600 --> 00:05:23,000 Speaker 1: don't think you've missed a snap this entire season. You know, 98 00:05:23,040 --> 00:05:24,880 Speaker 1: is there anything that you've kind of done differently this 99 00:05:24,960 --> 00:05:27,360 Speaker 1: year from a strength and conditioning standpoint or is it 100 00:05:27,360 --> 00:05:30,000 Speaker 1: just kind of that's the NFL and sometimes you get 101 00:05:30,040 --> 00:05:33,040 Speaker 1: lucky and sometimes you don't. Um. I think it's a 102 00:05:33,040 --> 00:05:39,599 Speaker 1: little bit of both. Uh I did focus on lifting 103 00:05:39,640 --> 00:05:43,880 Speaker 1: and diet more than offseason just so I could be 104 00:05:43,960 --> 00:05:49,080 Speaker 1: available and healthy to play all seventeen and hopefully more. 105 00:05:50,560 --> 00:05:56,640 Speaker 1: And then uh I also told myself, like I gotta 106 00:05:56,720 --> 00:05:58,400 Speaker 1: I know my team needs me, but I gotta be 107 00:05:58,440 --> 00:06:01,080 Speaker 1: out there for me as well. I hate miss in 108 00:06:01,160 --> 00:06:05,320 Speaker 1: time because I know the type of impact I can 109 00:06:05,440 --> 00:06:09,240 Speaker 1: have when I'm available, so I just try to make 110 00:06:09,279 --> 00:06:15,080 Speaker 1: sure i'm available. Great, thank you. The last question me 111 00:06:15,160 --> 00:06:19,719 Speaker 1: Zach Cox, Hey Trends. I actually had the same question 112 00:06:19,720 --> 00:06:22,680 Speaker 1: as the last one Dakota asked, so I guess I'll 113 00:06:22,680 --> 00:06:25,480 Speaker 1: just ask a slightly different one. You've already played more 114 00:06:25,520 --> 00:06:28,360 Speaker 1: snaps this season than you played all of last year. 115 00:06:28,760 --> 00:06:31,599 Speaker 1: Do you feel like that work you've done has paid 116 00:06:31,640 --> 00:06:34,880 Speaker 1: off and from a conditioning standpoint and being able to 117 00:06:35,200 --> 00:06:38,279 Speaker 1: keep yourself fresh and consistently contributing to slight in the air, 118 00:06:38,680 --> 00:06:45,839 Speaker 1: most definitely, most definitely good. Thank you, thank you, thank you, Trent. 119 00:06:45,960 --> 00:06:46,520 Speaker 1: Thanks everyone.
