1
00:00:00,240 --> 00:00:01,880
Speaker 1: How nice was it just to be back out there.

2
00:00:02,400 --> 00:00:04,000
Speaker 2: It was great just go out there and play football,

3
00:00:04,120 --> 00:00:05,880
Speaker 2: you know, play with the guys. Felt good being out

4
00:00:05,880 --> 00:00:07,520
Speaker 2: there and just going out there and hit somebody else

5
00:00:07,520 --> 00:00:09,840
Speaker 2: and uh play physical and oppositly. I know I still

6
00:00:09,840 --> 00:00:11,600
Speaker 2: have things to clean up, still knock and rust off.

7
00:00:11,600 --> 00:00:14,400
Speaker 2: You know, hadn't had the opportunity to take many live reps. Uh,

8
00:00:14,480 --> 00:00:16,080
Speaker 2: So it was great, A great opportunity to go out

9
00:00:16,079 --> 00:00:16,640
Speaker 2: there and play ball.

10
00:00:16,920 --> 00:00:18,280
Speaker 1: Where do you feel like you're at in your your

11
00:00:18,400 --> 00:00:20,000
Speaker 1: NFL career going into this season?

12
00:00:20,079 --> 00:00:21,439
Speaker 2: I I I mean, you may not be in the

13
00:00:21,480 --> 00:00:23,639
Speaker 2: starting line for the first time since you've been in

14
00:00:23,680 --> 00:00:25,480
Speaker 2: the league. Where do you feel like you're at that

15
00:00:26,120 --> 00:00:28,280
Speaker 2: never going? No, I feel like I'm rider my feet are.

16
00:00:28,440 --> 00:00:29,760
Speaker 2: I mean, at the end of the day, I'm just

17
00:00:29,760 --> 00:00:32,400
Speaker 2: gonna continue to get better, continue to develop, and uh

18
00:00:32,479 --> 00:00:34,400
Speaker 2: approach every day with the same mindset. And that's just

19
00:00:34,400 --> 00:00:37,239
Speaker 2: getting better. And uh, I know my opportunities to come,

20
00:00:37,320 --> 00:00:38,879
Speaker 2: you know, when they come, go on, you know, take

21
00:00:38,960 --> 00:00:41,279
Speaker 2: uh take advantage of 'em the best way I can.

22
00:00:41,600 --> 00:00:43,400
Speaker 1: I have been the last couple of practices and now

23
00:00:43,400 --> 00:00:46,360
Speaker 1: you got this in tonight. What's coming back the quickest

24
00:00:46,440 --> 00:00:48,160
Speaker 1: and what still needs to come back?

25
00:00:49,080 --> 00:00:50,960
Speaker 2: Uh, definitely, I feel like what's coming back to the quickest.

26
00:00:50,920 --> 00:00:52,159
Speaker 2: I'm just in a run game, you know what I'm

27
00:00:52,159 --> 00:00:53,880
Speaker 2: just saying, Just a lot of those double team blocks,

28
00:00:53,920 --> 00:00:55,760
Speaker 2: just moving guys. Uh, the first job I had a

29
00:00:55,800 --> 00:01:00,640
Speaker 2: lot of success Definitely in the past. Protection I could say,

30
00:01:00,680 --> 00:01:01,920
Speaker 2: like when I get to my spot, you know what

31
00:01:01,960 --> 00:01:03,600
Speaker 2: I'm saying, just make me sure I'd take a proper

32
00:01:03,640 --> 00:01:05,840
Speaker 2: set angles and and and and whatnot, and you're just

33
00:01:05,920 --> 00:01:08,200
Speaker 2: using my hands and whatnot, uh, not giving a guard

34
00:01:08,200 --> 00:01:09,720
Speaker 2: a short corner. But I feel like that just comes

35
00:01:09,720 --> 00:01:12,600
Speaker 2: to reps and repetition. Like I said, hadn't had the

36
00:01:12,600 --> 00:01:16,440
Speaker 2: opportunity to take many reps this training camp because you know,

37
00:01:16,480 --> 00:01:18,679
Speaker 2: I've been hurt and whatnot. But just kind of feels

38
00:01:18,720 --> 00:01:19,760
Speaker 2: good to go out there and do it.

39
00:01:19,840 --> 00:01:21,880
Speaker 1: You know, how much does it help the confidence level

40
00:01:21,959 --> 00:01:23,840
Speaker 1: just to be able to get game action in like this.

41
00:01:25,160 --> 00:01:27,000
Speaker 2: Can't really say it doesn't anything for my confidence, But

42
00:01:27,040 --> 00:01:28,240
Speaker 2: I mean, it just feels good to go out there

43
00:01:28,280 --> 00:01:30,679
Speaker 2: and play, you know what I'm saying. Like your football players,

44
00:01:30,680 --> 00:01:32,080
Speaker 2: what you do your entire life and you're sitting on

45
00:01:32,160 --> 00:01:33,560
Speaker 2: the sidelines, you know, all you wanna do is get

46
00:01:33,600 --> 00:01:35,399
Speaker 2: out there and play. So just kind of felt great,

47
00:01:35,440 --> 00:01:36,960
Speaker 2: you know what I'm saying. I remember, like pregame, I

48
00:01:37,080 --> 00:01:38,800
Speaker 2: was just thinking, God, you know, for the opportunity for

49
00:01:38,800 --> 00:01:40,279
Speaker 2: me to just step out on the field and play football.

50
00:01:40,280 --> 00:01:43,080
Speaker 2: Agame cause you know, whenever I got hurt last year,

51
00:01:43,280 --> 00:01:44,679
Speaker 2: you know what I'm saying, Like, that was the longest

52
00:01:44,680 --> 00:01:46,480
Speaker 2: that I've ever been out of the game. So just

53
00:01:46,480 --> 00:01:48,120
Speaker 2: to be able to come back out and play balls,

54
00:01:48,360 --> 00:01:48,960
Speaker 2: it's a blessing.

55
00:01:49,080 --> 00:01:50,720
Speaker 1: So what where news a fire in you you think?

56
00:01:51,320 --> 00:01:52,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean you could say that. What I'm saying, I

57
00:01:52,880 --> 00:01:53,840
Speaker 2: was just ready to play football.

58
00:01:53,880 --> 00:01:54,040
Speaker 1: Man.

59
00:01:54,520 --> 00:01:55,640
Speaker 2: So the ank on that.

60
00:01:55,720 --> 00:01:57,600
Speaker 1: Way you were told about, it's not bad.

61
00:01:58,040 --> 00:01:58,320
Speaker 2: Huh.

62
00:01:58,400 --> 00:02:01,080
Speaker 1: The ankle injury you separate, Jeni, which is not bad.

63
00:02:01,240 --> 00:02:02,960
Speaker 2: I didn't suffer an injury the night I got rolled

64
00:02:03,040 --> 00:02:05,640
Speaker 2: up on, you know. I mean that's the football It's

65
00:02:05,680 --> 00:02:07,360
Speaker 2: a football player. I mean, gods get rolled up on

66
00:02:07,400 --> 00:02:09,200
Speaker 2: all the time. I mean, thankfully I was able to,

67
00:02:09,240 --> 00:02:11,400
Speaker 2: you know, pop right back up, you know, take a

68
00:02:11,400 --> 00:02:13,200
Speaker 2: couple of steps on it. But I mean I'll be fine.

69
00:02:13,280 --> 00:02:13,919
Speaker 2: You know what I'm saying.

70
00:02:14,639 --> 00:02:16,919
Speaker 1: What have you seen from as a line group since

71
00:02:16,919 --> 00:02:18,359
Speaker 1: you haven't been able to play with the first team,

72
00:02:18,440 --> 00:02:20,520
Speaker 1: But what if you watch them with a new coach

73
00:02:20,600 --> 00:02:21,560
Speaker 1: and new additions.

74
00:02:21,960 --> 00:02:24,200
Speaker 2: I mean, the gods play great together. We have a

75
00:02:24,240 --> 00:02:26,160
Speaker 2: tight knit group. You know, we we do well in

76
00:02:26,200 --> 00:02:29,120
Speaker 2: the uh offensive meeting room together. Uh they're doing a

77
00:02:29,160 --> 00:02:30,760
Speaker 2: really good job. You know what I'm saying. I feel like,

78
00:02:30,800 --> 00:02:32,120
Speaker 2: you know what I'm saying, it's gonna take our team

79
00:02:32,240 --> 00:02:34,120
Speaker 2: very part of ship. You don't learn it from pity.

80
00:02:35,120 --> 00:02:37,400
Speaker 2: I mean I learned a lot from Karm. Karm's a teacher,

81
00:02:37,400 --> 00:02:38,639
Speaker 2: you know what I'm saying. So the first like if

82
00:02:38,680 --> 00:02:41,560
Speaker 2: that's the first thing that I noticed, you know, his ability,

83
00:02:41,560 --> 00:02:43,400
Speaker 2: you know what I'm saying, to explain the offense, explain

84
00:02:43,440 --> 00:02:45,600
Speaker 2: what he wants us to do, but also allowing us

85
00:02:45,639 --> 00:02:47,720
Speaker 2: to have individuality as our own players, you know what

86
00:02:47,760 --> 00:02:50,000
Speaker 2: I'm saying. So it's n I kind of feel like

87
00:02:50,040 --> 00:02:51,520
Speaker 2: he doesn't take the approach to where he has to,

88
00:02:51,880 --> 00:02:56,520
Speaker 2: you know, change who you are, you know entirely. But

89
00:02:56,680 --> 00:02:58,320
Speaker 2: you know, if it's something that you know, maybe he

90
00:02:58,320 --> 00:02:59,960
Speaker 2: can tweak. You know what I'm saying, The fit into

91
00:03:00,120 --> 00:03:02,320
Speaker 2: our scheme, a hobby, want to do things while allowing

92
00:03:02,360 --> 00:03:04,240
Speaker 2: the player to still play to their strengths,
