1
00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:03,400
Speaker 1: Year to just where you felt the light or field

2
00:00:03,400 --> 00:00:05,840
Speaker 1: the light is now compared to where it.

3
00:00:05,760 --> 00:00:06,320
Speaker 2: Was a year ago.

4
00:00:08,480 --> 00:00:10,880
Speaker 3: I think that. I mean, it's pretty comp it's pretty comparable.

5
00:00:11,240 --> 00:00:13,400
Speaker 3: I feel like we're in a great spot for a

6
00:00:13,440 --> 00:00:16,239
Speaker 3: regular season. Obviously, we have one more preseason game to

7
00:00:16,239 --> 00:00:18,680
Speaker 3: get through and that'll be a good test just to

8
00:00:18,720 --> 00:00:21,600
Speaker 3: see kind of like a dress, like a dress rehearsal

9
00:00:21,600 --> 00:00:26,279
Speaker 3: for us, make sure that we uh, you know, everything

10
00:00:26,400 --> 00:00:28,280
Speaker 3: is as efficient as it can be on game day

11
00:00:28,280 --> 00:00:30,760
Speaker 3: and we know exactly what we're doing going into week one.

12
00:00:31,320 --> 00:00:33,000
Speaker 1: For that reason, is this week a little bit more

13
00:00:33,040 --> 00:00:35,440
Speaker 1: like the regular season and how you're you're preparing for

14
00:00:35,640 --> 00:00:36,520
Speaker 1: this preseason game?

15
00:00:36,680 --> 00:00:39,599
Speaker 3: Yeah, for sure. You know, in years past, we used

16
00:00:39,600 --> 00:00:42,120
Speaker 3: to have four, so the third game kind of used

17
00:00:42,159 --> 00:00:44,559
Speaker 3: to be like that that game that's kind of like

18
00:00:44,600 --> 00:00:47,320
Speaker 3: a like a real season game. But now that we

19
00:00:47,440 --> 00:00:50,640
Speaker 3: just have three. Uh some some teams do it like

20
00:00:50,720 --> 00:00:53,239
Speaker 3: we've been doing it where you kind of trickle in

21
00:00:53,560 --> 00:00:56,200
Speaker 3: the starters in the second and third game. But it

22
00:00:56,240 --> 00:00:58,400
Speaker 3: looks like we're gonna be getting a decent amount of

23
00:00:58,400 --> 00:01:00,000
Speaker 3: STAPs on Friday, So.

24
00:01:00,600 --> 00:01:04,400
Speaker 1: Were there enough uh enough chances to you know, get

25
00:01:04,400 --> 00:01:06,480
Speaker 1: a good feel for stuff in a dozen stamps you

26
00:01:06,560 --> 00:01:08,080
Speaker 1: played Saturday night.

27
00:01:08,319 --> 00:01:12,240
Speaker 3: Yeah, for sure. You know, football's football, which is always great,

28
00:01:12,319 --> 00:01:15,640
Speaker 3: but you can't emulate those full speed game snaps like,

29
00:01:16,680 --> 00:01:18,560
Speaker 3: uh you know, you can't you r you really can't

30
00:01:18,560 --> 00:01:21,320
Speaker 3: see that speed in practice just cause you don't wanna

31
00:01:21,440 --> 00:01:23,200
Speaker 3: you know, have people on the ground and that sort

32
00:01:23,240 --> 00:01:25,640
Speaker 3: of thing. So, uh yeah, I mean it was, it was.

33
00:01:26,280 --> 00:01:28,840
Speaker 3: It was very beneficial to us as a group and

34
00:01:28,920 --> 00:01:30,040
Speaker 3: us as a team.

35
00:01:30,200 --> 00:01:31,560
Speaker 1: Do you think do you think going to gets hard

36
00:01:31,560 --> 00:01:34,600
Speaker 1: Grave every single day this summer is major a better player.

37
00:01:34,440 --> 00:01:39,680
Speaker 3: No doubt. Yeah. So his his initial get off fits

38
00:01:39,720 --> 00:01:42,240
Speaker 3: our scheme perfectly, Like he's he's he's one of the

39
00:01:42,280 --> 00:01:46,240
Speaker 3: quickest guys I've gone against in the A gaps. So

40
00:01:46,280 --> 00:01:49,320
Speaker 3: anytime I get that, just in general, to go against that,

41
00:01:49,400 --> 00:01:51,280
Speaker 3: and I mean if he's one of the best, if

42
00:01:51,320 --> 00:01:53,600
Speaker 3: not the best, at doing what he does, I mean

43
00:01:54,080 --> 00:01:57,080
Speaker 3: everyone else I go against should be not a walk

44
00:01:57,120 --> 00:02:01,040
Speaker 3: in the park, but should be uh seen before, right,

45
00:02:01,480 --> 00:02:03,400
Speaker 3: like the stuff that they bring on Sundays should be

46
00:02:03,400 --> 00:02:06,000
Speaker 3: seen before in practice. So I mean, it's just it's

47
00:02:06,000 --> 00:02:08,200
Speaker 3: just great. It's it's it's really great work that we

48
00:02:08,560 --> 00:02:10,440
Speaker 3: get to work against each other. One on ones, we

49
00:02:10,480 --> 00:02:12,840
Speaker 3: always get a rap against each other, so it is

50
00:02:12,960 --> 00:02:15,400
Speaker 3: I mean it's great. I feel like hopefully it gets

51
00:02:15,400 --> 00:02:17,840
Speaker 3: the same for me. So Worster was.

52
00:02:17,760 --> 00:02:21,360
Speaker 1: Telling us last week that you thought the most tired

53
00:02:21,440 --> 00:02:24,760
Speaker 1: he ever sees an offensive line is the first Like

54
00:02:24,880 --> 00:02:27,800
Speaker 1: if there's an extended drive on the first drive of

55
00:02:27,840 --> 00:02:31,720
Speaker 1: the regular season ten to twelve snaps, because there's nothing

56
00:02:31,760 --> 00:02:34,320
Speaker 1: that replicates it even preseason games in terms of the

57
00:02:34,440 --> 00:02:35,440
Speaker 1: strain and everything.

58
00:02:35,480 --> 00:02:35,680
Speaker 2: Is that.

59
00:02:35,840 --> 00:02:36,680
Speaker 1: Did you've notice that?

60
00:02:37,040 --> 00:02:42,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, I would definitely agree with that, especially the drives

61
00:02:42,040 --> 00:02:43,640
Speaker 3: that we kind of get into a lot of like

62
00:02:44,240 --> 00:02:48,040
Speaker 3: double digit drives. Yeah, that like that first one of

63
00:02:48,280 --> 00:02:49,880
Speaker 3: I if it's the first game or second game of

64
00:02:49,880 --> 00:02:52,960
Speaker 3: the season, you always kind of hit that limit and

65
00:02:52,960 --> 00:02:54,480
Speaker 3: then you always have to push through that limit a

66
00:02:54,520 --> 00:03:02,760
Speaker 3: little bit. So yeah, has been a film manning uh illmaned.

67
00:03:02,240 --> 00:03:04,560
Speaker 1: And just undrafted rookie.

68
00:03:04,639 --> 00:03:07,200
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean it doesn't look like a tackle. Maybe

69
00:03:07,240 --> 00:03:08,040
Speaker 3: he won't roman it.

70
00:03:08,040 --> 00:03:12,160
Speaker 1: At going side, but h you seem to open some eyes.

71
00:03:12,000 --> 00:03:15,160
Speaker 3: As far as maybe he's better than you know, a

72
00:03:15,160 --> 00:03:18,800
Speaker 3: typical drafted rookie. Yeah, I mean the guy's got amazing

73
00:03:18,919 --> 00:03:23,400
Speaker 3: physical attributes to him. Obviously, it's not the prototypical height

74
00:03:23,440 --> 00:03:26,120
Speaker 3: of a tackle, but uh, you know, I feel like

75
00:03:26,800 --> 00:03:29,280
Speaker 3: he's definitely shown us, and he's shown the league in

76
00:03:29,280 --> 00:03:32,079
Speaker 3: these past two games that he can really be a contender.

77
00:03:32,760 --> 00:03:34,440
Speaker 3: You know. Obviously he's got to get the grasp of

78
00:03:34,440 --> 00:03:37,680
Speaker 3: the offense down, as all rookies do. But at the

79
00:03:37,680 --> 00:03:40,520
Speaker 3: same time, I feel like, yeah, I mean he's he's

80
00:03:40,520 --> 00:03:41,880
Speaker 3: a solid, solid rookie.

81
00:03:42,080 --> 00:03:46,720
Speaker 2: You mind yourself, you know, trying to identify, you know,

82
00:03:46,760 --> 00:03:51,160
Speaker 2: which guys could possibly be centers, uh later on their career,

83
00:03:51,240 --> 00:03:52,839
Speaker 2: and mean some some of these guys will get moved

84
00:03:52,880 --> 00:03:56,080
Speaker 2: to that position. Do you Are you good at kind

85
00:03:56,120 --> 00:03:58,680
Speaker 2: of figuring out who has what it takes to be

86
00:03:58,920 --> 00:03:59,440
Speaker 2: be a center?

87
00:04:00,080 --> 00:04:01,360
Speaker 3: I mean I kind of leave that up to the

88
00:04:01,360 --> 00:04:04,960
Speaker 3: coaches and the front offices and stuff like that. But yeah,

89
00:04:04,960 --> 00:04:07,440
Speaker 3: I mean there's there's certain attributes that centers have that

90
00:04:07,480 --> 00:04:12,240
Speaker 3: other players don't. There's some some players might take the

91
00:04:12,240 --> 00:04:14,960
Speaker 3: path of outside in, there's other players that take the

92
00:04:15,000 --> 00:04:17,800
Speaker 3: path of inside out. So it really isn't like a

93
00:04:18,920 --> 00:04:21,880
Speaker 3: like a cookie cutter, this guy's a center sort of thing.

94
00:04:21,960 --> 00:04:25,839
Speaker 3: But I feel like, yeah, I mean I could definitely

95
00:04:25,880 --> 00:04:29,000
Speaker 3: give you a couple attributes that you know I have,

96
00:04:29,040 --> 00:04:31,680
Speaker 3: and other centers across the league have, but that doesn't

97
00:04:31,680 --> 00:04:32,760
Speaker 3: mean they can't play guard either.

98
00:04:34,040 --> 00:04:37,440
Speaker 1: So if you have an established line and everybody's played together,

99
00:04:38,960 --> 00:04:43,799
Speaker 1: what is fifteen to twenty snaps against the Chargers gonna

100
00:04:43,839 --> 00:04:46,920
Speaker 1: do that help shoot win against Pittsburgh.

101
00:04:46,920 --> 00:04:48,880
Speaker 3: So it's a sin. I mean, it's a similar defense.

102
00:04:49,200 --> 00:04:50,880
Speaker 3: Obviously they don't have the same players, but it's a

103
00:04:50,880 --> 00:04:56,520
Speaker 3: similar scheme. Unfortunately, we go against you know, like a

104
00:04:56,560 --> 00:04:59,279
Speaker 3: four to three defense against our own defense, So seeing

105
00:04:59,520 --> 00:05:01,880
Speaker 3: three four is always great. I don't know how much

106
00:05:01,920 --> 00:05:04,800
Speaker 3: bass they're gonna play against us. They might play, you know,

107
00:05:04,800 --> 00:05:06,640
Speaker 3: a lot of four down like they've played like the

108
00:05:06,680 --> 00:05:10,599
Speaker 3: past couple couple weeks, but any's time we can see

109
00:05:10,640 --> 00:05:14,120
Speaker 3: a different defense, a different you know, structure of the secondary,

110
00:05:14,600 --> 00:05:18,400
Speaker 3: different linebackers on the second level. I mean, that's that's

111
00:05:18,440 --> 00:05:20,880
Speaker 3: that's all work, that's all reps that we should be

112
00:05:20,920 --> 00:05:22,920
Speaker 3: banking going into the regular season.

113
00:05:24,520 --> 00:05:26,839
Speaker 1: Played a lot of snaps last year, but at times

114
00:05:27,040 --> 00:05:29,400
Speaker 1: was it an unusual position for an offensive linement of

115
00:05:29,720 --> 00:05:32,119
Speaker 1: being platuned a little bit? Uh?

116
00:05:32,200 --> 00:05:34,000
Speaker 3: What does it say to you about him that he

117
00:05:34,040 --> 00:05:36,120
Speaker 3: has come back this year in position to be a

118
00:05:36,160 --> 00:05:38,360
Speaker 3: full time starter. Yeah, I mean we're asking a lot

119
00:05:38,400 --> 00:05:40,560
Speaker 3: of him this season compared to last season where it

120
00:05:40,600 --> 00:05:43,720
Speaker 3: was kind of a fifty to fifty with Brunskill. You know,

121
00:05:43,800 --> 00:05:46,240
Speaker 3: I feel like this this offseason for him has been

122
00:05:46,480 --> 00:05:50,080
Speaker 3: critical and he really has approached it well. He knows

123
00:05:50,120 --> 00:05:53,040
Speaker 3: the offense a a lot better than he did last season,

124
00:05:53,080 --> 00:05:55,200
Speaker 3: which you would hope a rookie would be able to

125
00:05:55,200 --> 00:05:57,359
Speaker 3: go in there that first offseason and really study his

126
00:05:57,920 --> 00:06:02,840
Speaker 3: study his plays. And yeah, he's he's he's come back, stronger, faster, demeaner.

127
00:06:03,360 --> 00:06:06,120
Speaker 3: Uh So, I'm I'm, I'm I'm really excited to see

128
00:06:06,160 --> 00:06:09,800
Speaker 3: if he does Week one. I'm just like, mentality wise,

129
00:06:10,400 --> 00:06:11,680
Speaker 3: I feel like he's a little bit of a chip

130
00:06:11,680 --> 00:06:14,479
Speaker 3: on his shoulder, which is great. It's great to see that.

131
00:06:14,800 --> 00:06:16,680
Speaker 3: What do you holding, Kivvings and White think he's ready

132
00:06:16,680 --> 00:06:18,800
Speaker 3: for this moment to be started. I mean, he's, he's

133
00:06:19,040 --> 00:06:22,119
Speaker 3: he's been backing up some great players for his entire career,

134
00:06:22,800 --> 00:06:26,240
Speaker 3: and you know, it's he's kind of has my same storyline.

135
00:06:26,400 --> 00:06:30,479
Speaker 3: You know, obviously he was drafted, but uh, him him

136
00:06:30,480 --> 00:06:32,680
Speaker 3: being on practice squad, like getting cut and being on

137
00:06:32,720 --> 00:06:35,520
Speaker 3: practice squad for a little bit really kind of in

138
00:06:35,600 --> 00:06:38,960
Speaker 3: my in my opinion, were really ignited a fire within him,

139
00:06:39,120 --> 00:06:42,159
Speaker 3: and uh, just seeing how he's responded from that and

140
00:06:42,200 --> 00:06:44,839
Speaker 3: being able to come back and you know, achieve the

141
00:06:45,040 --> 00:06:48,040
Speaker 3: proven deal that he has now and just kind of

142
00:06:48,080 --> 00:06:50,400
Speaker 3: just see what he he he can make out of it,

143
00:06:50,480 --> 00:06:52,920
Speaker 3: kind of like how I did last season. So honestly,

144
00:06:53,000 --> 00:06:57,279
Speaker 3: I'm I'm I'm expecting big things. Still about three weeks

145
00:06:57,320 --> 00:07:00,520
Speaker 3: away for your for Sal game, but MS still, would

146
00:07:00,520 --> 00:07:02,040
Speaker 3: it be nice to have Nick close to here on

147
00:07:02,160 --> 00:07:04,440
Speaker 3: all where he at least a slight exhale when he

148
00:07:04,480 --> 00:07:11,360
Speaker 3: finally shows up. I mean, of course, but you know,

149
00:07:12,200 --> 00:07:14,560
Speaker 3: I don't I can't really speak to that. I'm not

150
00:07:14,720 --> 00:07:18,840
Speaker 3: I'm not the money guy. So but no, he he,

151
00:07:18,840 --> 00:07:22,240
Speaker 3: he honestly gives us great work going going going against Nick.

152
00:07:23,720 --> 00:07:26,360
Speaker 3: He barely he barely ever uses the same move twice

153
00:07:26,400 --> 00:07:29,320
Speaker 3: in practice. So being able for our tackles to go

154
00:07:29,360 --> 00:07:31,640
Speaker 3: against a player like that where you really have you

155
00:07:31,680 --> 00:07:35,560
Speaker 3: have a rollodex of moves. He's got probably twenty maybe

156
00:07:35,600 --> 00:07:37,680
