1
00:00:00,800 --> 00:00:02,680
Speaker 1: Matthews in here early we're talking about you guys with

2
00:00:03,080 --> 00:00:07,360
Speaker 1: mastins Markos. I'm just ordering from a lineman's perspective, the

3
00:00:07,400 --> 00:00:13,720
Speaker 1: center's perspective, pros and cons of that. Um, you know,

4
00:00:13,720 --> 00:00:15,560
Speaker 1: you always feel like when they do throw the ball,

5
00:00:15,600 --> 00:00:18,639
Speaker 1: it was probably your best block, right, But no, I

6
00:00:18,640 --> 00:00:21,639
Speaker 1: mean you do you don't know? Um, you know, I

7
00:00:21,680 --> 00:00:26,920
Speaker 1: think it there's obviously things, you know, if it looks

8
00:00:26,960 --> 00:00:29,160
Speaker 1: not great, you know, it's kind of an easy fish

9
00:00:29,200 --> 00:00:32,360
Speaker 1: in my opinion. Um, you know, you maybe not have to,

10
00:00:33,280 --> 00:00:35,839
Speaker 1: you know, re change the play like there's a you know,

11
00:00:36,040 --> 00:00:39,360
Speaker 1: there's an answer to it already built in and as

12
00:00:39,400 --> 00:00:43,199
Speaker 1: offensive linemen, you know, I mean, it's a way to

13
00:00:43,240 --> 00:00:45,159
Speaker 1: do different things. But you're only thinking about one thing

14
00:00:45,159 --> 00:00:48,800
Speaker 1: where I'm blocking. So, Um, I think they're they're good.

15
00:00:49,040 --> 00:00:50,440
Speaker 1: That can be a good addition, that can be a

16
00:00:50,440 --> 00:00:54,320
Speaker 1: good tool. Um, you know, but like I said again,

17
00:00:54,360 --> 00:00:55,880
Speaker 1: always I felt like I ran a few o them

18
00:00:55,920 --> 00:00:58,400
Speaker 1: in college and stuff like that. You always feel like

19
00:00:58,440 --> 00:00:59,960
Speaker 1: they throw the ball when it was your best ball?

20
00:01:00,360 --> 00:01:02,800
Speaker 1: Are you isn't quick enough so you're not cognizant of

21
00:01:02,880 --> 00:01:06,480
Speaker 1: being downfield? Is that? I think that's the purpose of them,

22
00:01:06,560 --> 00:01:10,440
Speaker 1: you know, I mean, you know, I can't give you

23
00:01:10,680 --> 00:01:14,720
Speaker 1: all the details of them, but to my understanding, it

24
00:01:14,920 --> 00:01:17,319
Speaker 1: happened so fast that it shouldn't be an issue for

25
00:01:17,959 --> 00:01:20,600
Speaker 1: us downfield. I mean, look, and I think people ran

26
00:01:20,680 --> 00:01:22,200
Speaker 1: them in the league for a long time now, and

27
00:01:23,400 --> 00:01:25,080
Speaker 1: it's one of those things that it seems like it

28
00:01:25,160 --> 00:01:28,400
Speaker 1: doesn't really get called because it happened so fast or what.

29
00:01:28,600 --> 00:01:33,280
Speaker 1: So some of the benefits of having billiates down the

30
00:01:33,280 --> 00:01:35,200
Speaker 1: sideline at the start of the game. Yeah, I mean,

31
00:01:35,240 --> 00:01:37,560
Speaker 1: I think, you know, Billy does a great job for us,

32
00:01:37,560 --> 00:01:40,800
Speaker 1: and you know, obviously I think it just helps out

33
00:01:40,880 --> 00:01:42,760
Speaker 1: kind of some of the game day operation. You know,

34
00:01:44,480 --> 00:01:46,759
Speaker 1: I think offensive line is the hardest position to coach

35
00:01:47,480 --> 00:01:49,960
Speaker 1: for multiple reasons, but one, it's five of us. There's

36
00:01:50,000 --> 00:01:52,360
Speaker 1: no other position like that, you know. I mean even

37
00:01:52,480 --> 00:01:56,520
Speaker 1: DB's they're safety coaches, corner coaches really, and there's no

38
00:01:56,680 --> 00:01:59,720
Speaker 1: tackle coaches, center and guard coaches. It's just an old line.

39
00:01:59,760 --> 00:02:02,640
Speaker 1: So yeah, I think he does a good job. He

40
00:02:02,640 --> 00:02:06,280
Speaker 1: allows Matty p Da will do some different things, you know,

41
00:02:06,320 --> 00:02:07,840
Speaker 1: and so I think it's just it just kind of

42
00:02:07,840 --> 00:02:11,240
Speaker 1: helps the flow of game day. What's it like building

43
00:02:11,240 --> 00:02:13,320
Speaker 1: off you know, not just a win where you had

44
00:02:13,400 --> 00:02:15,520
Speaker 1: last week about how well the run game performed for

45
00:02:15,680 --> 00:02:17,640
Speaker 1: you guys as you prepare for you I mean I think,

46
00:02:17,800 --> 00:02:19,680
Speaker 1: you know, there's just a lot we can build off of.

47
00:02:19,800 --> 00:02:22,720
Speaker 1: But you know, it really doesn't matter what you did

48
00:02:22,840 --> 00:02:25,600
Speaker 1: last week, because I've had been in games where you

49
00:02:25,680 --> 00:02:27,399
Speaker 1: run the ball great and then the next weekend can

50
00:02:27,440 --> 00:02:31,160
Speaker 1: go you know, just roll it out there and it

51
00:02:31,200 --> 00:02:33,519
Speaker 1: doesn't look as good. So I thought we had a

52
00:02:33,560 --> 00:02:37,400
Speaker 1: good day to day, really good preparation getting on Baltimore today.

53
00:02:37,480 --> 00:02:40,520
Speaker 1: So uh, you know, today, tomorrow, Friday really is what's

54
00:02:40,520 --> 00:02:43,440
Speaker 1: going to carry us, not what happened last Sunday. And yeah,

55
00:02:43,440 --> 00:02:44,919
Speaker 1: I thought we had a good day to day with

56
00:02:45,120 --> 00:02:48,080
Speaker 1: Vegas in Miami and two first two on the road.

57
00:02:48,120 --> 00:02:49,919
Speaker 1: Who's kind of unusual. How good is it to be home?

58
00:02:50,320 --> 00:02:52,680
Speaker 1: Know you can play that home over. Yeah, it definitely

59
00:02:52,680 --> 00:02:55,640
Speaker 1: does feel good, you know, not having to scream at

60
00:02:55,680 --> 00:02:59,080
Speaker 1: each other at practice today, you know, and to be

61
00:02:59,120 --> 00:03:02,480
Speaker 1: able to communicate it was was definitely a little bit nicer. Uh,

62
00:03:03,200 --> 00:03:05,840
Speaker 1: you know. Excited, Um, I love playing here. I love

63
00:03:05,880 --> 00:03:08,680
Speaker 1: playing at the stadium. U I no, our fans will

64
00:03:08,720 --> 00:03:10,680
Speaker 1: be excited. So I can't wait to get out there

65
00:03:10,720 --> 00:03:14,239
Speaker 1: and obviously, you know, such a big game of Baltimore.

66
00:03:14,240 --> 00:03:16,640
Speaker 1: Obviously a lot of history there and a great organization,

67
00:03:16,720 --> 00:03:20,239
Speaker 1: so m be a great environment. What does this game

68
00:03:20,280 --> 00:03:22,760
Speaker 1: feel like? It's New England, it's Baltimore to the top

69
00:03:22,840 --> 00:03:25,720
Speaker 1: franchises in the league, two one and one teams, a

70
00:03:25,760 --> 00:03:27,240
Speaker 1: lot of big names in it. But what does this

71
00:03:27,280 --> 00:03:29,960
Speaker 1: one feel like? Just feel bigger than a Week three regularly?

72
00:03:30,080 --> 00:03:31,960
Speaker 1: I mean no, I think it's a big game because

73
00:03:31,960 --> 00:03:35,240
Speaker 1: it's the next one, and you know a lot of

74
00:03:35,320 --> 00:03:38,000
Speaker 1: respect for Baltimore and their organization and how they do things,

75
00:03:38,640 --> 00:03:41,080
Speaker 1: uh you know, a lot of their players. But um,

76
00:03:41,640 --> 00:03:43,960
Speaker 1: you know, it's it's exciting because it's the next one,

77
00:03:44,040 --> 00:03:46,680
Speaker 1: and I think I can't get too up and down

78
00:03:46,880 --> 00:03:49,600
Speaker 1: or you know, make something bigger than it is. Um,

79
00:03:49,720 --> 00:03:51,680
Speaker 1: it's a big football game because we get the opportunity

80
00:03:51,680 --> 00:03:53,040
Speaker 1: to go out there and compete as a team and

81
00:03:53,520 --> 00:03:56,400
Speaker 1: you know, either stack another win together or you know,

82
00:03:56,520 --> 00:03:58,800
Speaker 1: so that's what we're gonna try to do. Are there

83
00:03:59,160 --> 00:04:01,120
Speaker 1: ros in the NFL? I mean yeah, I think so.

84
00:04:01,200 --> 00:04:05,760
Speaker 1: I think there's uh the rivalries competition. AFC team you

85
00:04:05,800 --> 00:04:10,040
Speaker 1: know a good AC team, you know, I think those

86
00:04:11,120 --> 00:04:14,040
Speaker 1: you know a team you know NFC teams you don't

87
00:04:14,040 --> 00:04:16,840
Speaker 1: play as much, right, you know, I mean I'll play him,

88
00:04:16,880 --> 00:04:19,080
Speaker 1: you know, every what four years usually, right, it's kind

89
00:04:19,080 --> 00:04:22,880
Speaker 1: of on a rotation. But you know, teams like Baltimore

90
00:04:22,920 --> 00:04:26,120
Speaker 1: played multiple times in my career outside the division, you know,

91
00:04:27,360 --> 00:04:30,400
Speaker 1: you think about that and just uh, I think there's

92
00:04:30,400 --> 00:04:32,479
Speaker 1: definitely a little bit of rivalries. And like I said,

93
00:04:32,480 --> 00:04:36,040
Speaker 1: I think it's two great organizations and two very proud organizations.

94
00:04:36,920 --> 00:04:43,520
Speaker 1: Dam huh, Damian, I don't know what you're talking about.

95
00:04:47,040 --> 00:04:48,800
Speaker 1: What does this see in you about Mac? That when

96
00:04:48,800 --> 00:04:51,000
Speaker 1: he was asked earlier about his performance, he's like, I

97
00:04:51,000 --> 00:04:53,800
Speaker 1: don't care if it's pretty, it's a win. And Devin

98
00:04:53,839 --> 00:04:55,520
Speaker 1: spoke highly and him as a leader and how much

99
00:04:55,560 --> 00:04:57,440
Speaker 1: he meets his team, what he means to you guys.

100
00:04:57,560 --> 00:04:59,440
Speaker 1: What does it mean to see that from Mac through

101
00:04:59,480 --> 00:05:02,040
Speaker 1: two weeks short into his career about to take that

102
00:05:02,080 --> 00:05:04,559
Speaker 1: step forward and also just be there as an adam

103
00:05:04,600 --> 00:05:07,080
Speaker 1: and you know, leader professional for you guys. I think

104
00:05:07,520 --> 00:05:12,960
Speaker 1: I think that's look, you know, as an offensive linement,

105
00:05:13,000 --> 00:05:15,800
Speaker 1: there's really not much going on in your stats and performance, right,

106
00:05:15,880 --> 00:05:18,680
Speaker 1: you know, you know, so we're just happy to win

107
00:05:18,760 --> 00:05:21,480
Speaker 1: no matter what. But you know, I think guys, you know,

108
00:05:22,400 --> 00:05:24,359
Speaker 1: that's a sign of a mature team. A good team

109
00:05:24,600 --> 00:05:28,480
Speaker 1: is when it doesn't matter who's getting the ball right, Um,

110
00:05:28,560 --> 00:05:32,760
Speaker 1: who's excelling, you know, who's getting carries, who's getting catches, whatever, right,

111
00:05:33,160 --> 00:05:35,239
Speaker 1: whatever we can do to help the team right. And

112
00:05:36,120 --> 00:05:38,440
Speaker 1: you know, I think offensive line role is pretty the

113
00:05:38,440 --> 00:05:41,400
Speaker 1: same each week, but you know, big skill guys and

114
00:05:41,920 --> 00:05:44,080
Speaker 1: position players might get asked to do different things week

115
00:05:44,120 --> 00:05:46,640
Speaker 1: to week. And uh, you know, I think the teams

116
00:05:46,680 --> 00:05:48,960
Speaker 1: I've been on, but guys really buy into those roles,

117
00:05:49,600 --> 00:05:52,919
Speaker 1: um and will help the football team. That's what it becomes.

118
00:05:53,080 --> 00:05:55,200
Speaker 1: You can see strides being made in your football team.

119
00:05:55,240 --> 00:05:58,359
Speaker 1: And and um, you know, I had a lot of

120
00:05:58,360 --> 00:06:00,200
Speaker 1: guys like that in the past and got a lot

121
00:06:00,200 --> 00:06:02,680
Speaker 1: of guys like that now, you know. I mean, um,

122
00:06:02,800 --> 00:06:05,280
Speaker 1: so I think that's you know, shows a lot of

123
00:06:05,360 --> 00:06:07,880
Speaker 1: leaderships charity on him. And that's what you want. You want,

124
00:06:08,320 --> 00:06:11,320
Speaker 1: it doesn't matter. Just just win, that's all that matters. Yeah,

125
00:06:11,440 --> 00:06:15,479
Speaker 1: So you see those strides, do what you see those strides? Yeah,

126
00:06:15,520 --> 00:06:16,760
Speaker 1: I mean I think so. I think you see a

127
00:06:16,760 --> 00:06:18,799
Speaker 1: lot of guys, you know, kind of embracing their roles

128
00:06:18,800 --> 00:06:22,440
Speaker 1: and and doing those things, and um, you know, like

129
00:06:22,480 --> 00:06:25,320
Speaker 1: I said, I think it's so different being an office

130
00:06:25,320 --> 00:06:28,159
Speaker 1: a lotment because it's running pass block every week, you know.

131
00:06:28,279 --> 00:06:32,800
Speaker 1: So uh but yeah, I think guys do buy into that,

132
00:06:33,040 --> 00:06:35,159
Speaker 1: and we just buy into whatever it takes to win.

133
00:06:35,320 --> 00:06:38,400
Speaker 1: That's what we have to do. Uh, we can have

134
00:06:38,440 --> 00:06:42,680
Speaker 1: some success. Hey, David Humper, make a couple of nice

135
00:06:42,680 --> 00:06:45,599
Speaker 1: blots on something. What are you seeing from him these days? Yeah? No,

136
00:06:45,720 --> 00:06:47,640
Speaker 1: I thought, you know, he did some really good things

137
00:06:47,680 --> 00:06:52,000
Speaker 1: and you know, I think there's some you know, he

138
00:06:52,040 --> 00:06:53,800
Speaker 1: can do a lot, he can catch the ball, obviously,

139
00:06:53,800 --> 00:06:57,479
Speaker 1: has great hands. Uh he's a big guy. Uh, you know,

140
00:06:57,880 --> 00:07:01,839
Speaker 1: towers over me. Uh. So you know, did a good job.

141
00:07:02,040 --> 00:07:04,640
Speaker 1: And you know, I think when you see our receivers block,

142
00:07:04,720 --> 00:07:06,440
Speaker 1: and that's when the big plays are gonna be made.

143
00:07:06,520 --> 00:07:09,600
Speaker 1: Right now, Usually offensive linemen are blocking the safeties and

144
00:07:09,680 --> 00:07:12,760
Speaker 1: things like that. Right so, when the big plays are made,

145
00:07:12,760 --> 00:07:15,160
Speaker 1: it's usually because your receivers are busting their tails getting

146
00:07:15,160 --> 00:07:17,320
Speaker 1: things done. And so, um, they did a good job.

147
00:07:17,600 --> 00:07:19,760
Speaker 1: Helped us, you know, move the ball in those drives,

148
00:07:19,880 --> 00:07:25,480
Speaker 1: laying the game and you need that every week. Thank you. Thanks.

149
00:07:25,480 --> 00:07:26,120
Speaker 1: Guys have a goal
