Have 43 00:01:36,680 --> 00:01:38,760 Speaker 1: they talked to you about where they want to plug 44 00:01:38,800 --> 00:01:40,360 Speaker 1: you in here or is that still something that you're 45 00:01:40,360 --> 00:01:41,400 Speaker 1: going to figure out down the road. 46 00:01:41,800 --> 00:01:43,360 Speaker 2: I think it's someone will figure out down the road. 47 00:01:44,040 --> 00:01:46,160 Speaker 4: Not too sure. You know where they're looking at me, 48 00:01:46,200 --> 00:01:47,800 Speaker 4: and it's going to be one of the guard positions. 49 00:01:47,800 --> 00:01:50,960 Speaker 4: And I've played a lot of games at both guard positions, 50 00:01:50,960 --> 00:01:52,720 Speaker 4: so you know, I'll be comfortable everywhere. 51 00:01:52,880 --> 00:01:53,600 Speaker 2: It doesn't matter. 52 00:01:53,640 --> 00:01:55,760 Speaker 4: I just I just liked being on the field and 53 00:01:55,920 --> 00:01:57,960 Speaker 4: going out there and playing football. 54 00:01:58,040 --> 00:01:59,520 Speaker 3: Now more recently been a right guard. 55 00:02:00,160 --> 00:02:02,440 Speaker 1: With switching back to left, you just said, no difference 56 00:02:02,480 --> 00:02:04,040 Speaker 1: to you, A full comfort on both sides. 57 00:02:04,960 --> 00:02:07,080 Speaker 4: I played on the left side most of my career 58 00:02:07,200 --> 00:02:10,560 Speaker 4: in college and pro. In the last two seasons I 59 00:02:10,639 --> 00:02:13,280 Speaker 4: switched over to right, and I think I do kind 60 00:02:13,280 --> 00:02:15,880 Speaker 4: of like left left guard, but I've gotten so comfortable 61 00:02:15,919 --> 00:02:18,239 Speaker 4: on the right side it doesn't really matter where I'm at. 62 00:02:18,520 --> 00:02:20,680 Speaker 1: And you mentioned Michigan is where he went to school 63 00:02:20,760 --> 00:02:23,280 Speaker 1: left tackle there, correct, And I think I see some 64 00:02:23,400 --> 00:02:26,520 Speaker 1: of that those tackle traits and how you pass protected guard. 65 00:02:26,560 --> 00:02:28,680 Speaker 1: How much did playing tackle and college you think prepare 66 00:02:28,680 --> 00:02:31,280 Speaker 1: you for the past protection aspects of playing guard and the. 67 00:02:31,520 --> 00:02:35,720 Speaker 4: Definitely there's a lot to that. The game has changed 68 00:02:35,720 --> 00:02:39,440 Speaker 4: so much in over the years, so being able to 69 00:02:39,440 --> 00:02:42,480 Speaker 4: pass protect is vital for you know, your success and 70 00:02:42,600 --> 00:02:46,000 Speaker 4: survival in this league. So having that background playing left 71 00:02:46,040 --> 00:02:48,320 Speaker 4: tackle at Michigan, I'm kind of able to bring some 72 00:02:48,400 --> 00:02:51,480 Speaker 4: of those traits. And you know that I was used 73 00:02:51,480 --> 00:02:54,760 Speaker 4: to playing tackle in the inside and guard because it's 74 00:02:54,800 --> 00:02:57,120 Speaker 4: a little bit different on the outside versus the inside, 75 00:02:57,160 --> 00:02:59,519 Speaker 4: but you know, same relative concept. Keep a guy in 76 00:02:59,560 --> 00:03:01,399 Speaker 4: front of you and don't let them get to the quarterback. 77 00:03:01,480 --> 00:03:04,760 Speaker 4: So it is nice having that, you know, that feeling 78 00:03:04,760 --> 00:03:07,160 Speaker 4: out on the edge, but when you're inside go out, 79 00:03:07,200 --> 00:03:09,040 Speaker 4: you're kind of in a little phone booth and you know, 80 00:03:09,120 --> 00:03:11,000 Speaker 4: dancing with a three hundred and thirty pound guy. 81 00:03:11,040 --> 00:03:13,080 Speaker 2: And I do carry some of that over. 82 00:03:13,919 --> 00:03:15,400 Speaker 4: Some of my sets do kind of look like a 83 00:03:15,440 --> 00:03:18,320 Speaker 4: tackle set, but that's just depending on down and distant stuff. 84 00:03:18,320 --> 00:03:20,079 Speaker 4: But I was really appreciated I was able to play 85 00:03:20,080 --> 00:03:22,040 Speaker 4: outside in college and come here as kind of felt 86 00:03:22,040 --> 00:03:23,600 Speaker 4: like it was a seamless transition. 87 00:03:24,120 --> 00:03:25,880 Speaker 3: Yeah, defenses will try to spread you guys out. 88 00:03:25,919 --> 00:03:27,720 Speaker 1: Now, they'll put the guys wide and they'll try to 89 00:03:27,760 --> 00:03:30,720 Speaker 1: isolate you and widen that phone booth. Right, I mean, 90 00:03:30,760 --> 00:03:32,040 Speaker 1: I was looking back at a lot a lot of 91 00:03:32,040 --> 00:03:33,600 Speaker 1: your tape this year. You were one on one with 92 00:03:33,680 --> 00:03:35,320 Speaker 1: Chris Jones when you guys played the Chiefs, one of 93 00:03:35,360 --> 00:03:37,280 Speaker 1: thee with Aaron Donald right when you when you played 94 00:03:37,320 --> 00:03:39,840 Speaker 1: the Rams. So you mentioned three hundred and thirty pound guys. 95 00:03:39,840 --> 00:03:42,120 Speaker 1: Now there are two hundred and eighty five and ninety 96 00:03:42,120 --> 00:03:44,720 Speaker 1: pound guys at defensive tackle that kind of move like 97 00:03:44,760 --> 00:03:45,440 Speaker 1: defensive ends. 98 00:03:45,480 --> 00:03:48,080 Speaker 4: Right, yeah, you got you got the little guys that 99 00:03:48,160 --> 00:03:51,640 Speaker 4: can run four or five for six four sevens, and 100 00:03:51,640 --> 00:03:53,440 Speaker 4: you got the big guys. I can still be moving 101 00:03:53,880 --> 00:03:57,400 Speaker 4: about a five forty and like to line up defensive 102 00:03:57,400 --> 00:04:00,400 Speaker 4: lineman sometimes outside the tackle, and you know, bring a 103 00:04:00,400 --> 00:04:03,280 Speaker 4: lot of twists and stuff, especially with the nose and 104 00:04:03,360 --> 00:04:06,160 Speaker 4: the tackle on the end. And there's so much variance 105 00:04:06,200 --> 00:04:07,800 Speaker 4: going on in this game and you've got to be 106 00:04:07,840 --> 00:04:10,480 Speaker 4: ready for a new look every down and past. Protection 107 00:04:10,560 --> 00:04:11,880 Speaker 4: is a huge part of this game, and I feel 108 00:04:11,920 --> 00:04:13,000 Speaker 4: like that's one of my strengths. 109 00:04:13,200 --> 00:04:14,560 Speaker 3: You mentioned the twists and the stunts. 110 00:04:14,600 --> 00:04:17,320 Speaker 1: Obviously, communication in the line playing is one group is 111 00:04:17,360 --> 00:04:20,400 Speaker 1: really what makes it vital to protect well against those 112 00:04:20,400 --> 00:04:23,040 Speaker 1: type of plays. Watching you, it seems like your head's 113 00:04:23,040 --> 00:04:26,159 Speaker 1: always on a swivel. How much is a part of 114 00:04:26,200 --> 00:04:29,560 Speaker 1: being an offensive lineman being aware to know where the 115 00:04:29,600 --> 00:04:31,520 Speaker 1: guys are coming on from, like tape study during the 116 00:04:31,560 --> 00:04:33,839 Speaker 1: week in formation so that you're ready for some of 117 00:04:33,880 --> 00:04:34,320 Speaker 1: those games. 118 00:04:34,400 --> 00:04:36,479 Speaker 4: Definitely, that's a huge part of it, just kind of 119 00:04:36,600 --> 00:04:39,160 Speaker 4: understanding there's just so many factors that going into it, 120 00:04:39,480 --> 00:04:43,800 Speaker 4: kind of understanding the down and distance, recognizing like what 121 00:04:43,960 --> 00:04:46,400 Speaker 4: point of the game we're in, you know, understanding what 122 00:04:46,560 --> 00:04:48,559 Speaker 4: personnel's out in the field, and this is all stuff 123 00:04:48,560 --> 00:04:51,880 Speaker 4: that happens even before you break the huddle and walking 124 00:04:52,000 --> 00:04:53,560 Speaker 4: up to line of scrimmage, you can kind of see 125 00:04:53,560 --> 00:04:56,280 Speaker 4: where guys are starting to move around and something will 126 00:04:56,320 --> 00:04:59,200 Speaker 4: remind you like, oh, I remember watching this look on tape, 127 00:04:59,240 --> 00:05:00,840 Speaker 4: like this is something that they like out of here, 128 00:05:00,880 --> 00:05:03,159 Speaker 4: and able to give your guys kind of those reminders 129 00:05:03,160 --> 00:05:06,600 Speaker 4: pre snaps. So whatever happens, however works out, you're able 130 00:05:06,640 --> 00:05:09,120 Speaker 4: to react to it.
