1
00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:02,719
Speaker 1: Kevin, how you adjusted? Um? Doing well? Me and my family.

2
00:00:03,040 --> 00:00:04,480
Speaker 1: You know, I've been here about a month now. We

3
00:00:04,600 --> 00:00:07,360
Speaker 1: moved into our house and everything. We're excited. I love

4
00:00:07,360 --> 00:00:09,200
Speaker 1: being here, I love working with the guys, and you know,

5
00:00:09,280 --> 00:00:14,680
Speaker 1: today it was good first step. What's the biggest challenge

6
00:00:14,680 --> 00:00:18,400
Speaker 1: of coming into a new team and getting accolimated? Um,

7
00:00:18,440 --> 00:00:20,159
Speaker 1: I think there's a lot of little things. First, you know,

8
00:00:20,160 --> 00:00:22,040
Speaker 1: it's just learning a new offense again for I think

9
00:00:22,079 --> 00:00:24,959
Speaker 1: the fifth time in five years. And then you know,

10
00:00:25,079 --> 00:00:26,840
Speaker 1: just just little things between a lot and you know

11
00:00:26,920 --> 00:00:30,120
Speaker 1: how people set, what people think, how fast things go.

12
00:00:30,920 --> 00:00:33,199
Speaker 1: So you know today was day one. A couple of

13
00:00:33,200 --> 00:00:34,920
Speaker 1: things here and there, but you know it's a good

14
00:00:34,920 --> 00:00:40,600
Speaker 1: start to starting backles aren't out there during UM, you

15
00:00:40,640 --> 00:00:42,080
Speaker 1: know it's fine. I think it's actually a great thing

16
00:00:42,120 --> 00:00:44,080
Speaker 1: overall for the old line and the team. The more

17
00:00:44,120 --> 00:00:46,120
Speaker 1: reps you know, other guys can get. You just never

18
00:00:46,120 --> 00:00:47,920
Speaker 1: know what's gonna happen in this league. You know, a

19
00:00:47,960 --> 00:00:49,519
Speaker 1: slide can fall in the back. You're like like me

20
00:00:49,640 --> 00:00:51,680
Speaker 1: last year, So you want the guys to you know,

21
00:00:51,720 --> 00:00:53,600
Speaker 1: to be have as many reps into his game ready

22
00:00:53,600 --> 00:00:56,680
Speaker 1: as possible. How good can this old line being with

23
00:00:56,800 --> 00:00:59,640
Speaker 1: the guys who you have. I mean, you like to think,

24
00:00:59,680 --> 00:01:02,800
Speaker 1: you know, you know, the there's no limit to what

25
00:01:02,840 --> 00:01:04,479
Speaker 1: we can do, you know, especially with the town rounds

26
00:01:04,520 --> 00:01:07,399
Speaker 1: with Eli and k you know in the backfield. But

27
00:01:07,520 --> 00:01:09,120
Speaker 1: you know, we have a long way to go and

28
00:01:09,319 --> 00:01:12,080
Speaker 1: a lot to do, so we'll see what happens once,

29
00:01:12,080 --> 00:01:15,160
Speaker 1: you know, the actual season rolls around. Coach Hunter spoke

30
00:01:15,160 --> 00:01:16,800
Speaker 1: about you and he said that you were a guy

31
00:01:16,840 --> 00:01:19,760
Speaker 1: who's pays attention in a little of detail. Have you

32
00:01:19,840 --> 00:01:23,120
Speaker 1: kind of taken leadership at that offensive plant, especially now

33
00:01:23,120 --> 00:01:26,280
Speaker 1: with Meyton and Mike not available to play. I you know,

34
00:01:26,319 --> 00:01:28,080
Speaker 1: I think that's just by default. It has to happen.

35
00:01:28,120 --> 00:01:29,800
Speaker 1: You know, I think Nate for sure as the leader

36
00:01:29,800 --> 00:01:32,000
Speaker 1: of the room. You know, he's been here and you

37
00:01:32,000 --> 00:01:34,399
Speaker 1: know everyone respects him and he's done great things. But

38
00:01:34,520 --> 00:01:36,679
Speaker 1: right now, obviously I'm the you know, old guy out

39
00:01:36,720 --> 00:01:39,160
Speaker 1: there right now, and you know any level, you know,

40
00:01:39,200 --> 00:01:40,640
Speaker 1: second third string had to be able to help the

41
00:01:40,680 --> 00:01:45,000
Speaker 1: guards and get them rolling. That offers you the team

42
00:01:45,040 --> 00:01:46,760
Speaker 1: up with him. Um, I think it's cool. You know,

43
00:01:46,840 --> 00:01:48,320
Speaker 1: I've got to talk to him, you know, the last

44
00:01:48,320 --> 00:01:50,120
Speaker 1: two days and uh, you know, it seems like a

45
00:01:50,120 --> 00:01:52,040
Speaker 1: great guy, and obviously he's had success, you know in

46
00:01:52,120 --> 00:01:55,600
Speaker 1: Carolina and Minnesota, so you know, I'm all about it.

47
00:01:55,640 --> 00:01:57,600
Speaker 1: You know, what was your reaction to come in here

48
00:01:57,640 --> 00:02:00,600
Speaker 1: and just the opportunity from um It was exciting, you know,

49
00:02:00,720 --> 00:02:03,120
Speaker 1: big surprise. You know, no one so I didn't see

50
00:02:03,160 --> 00:02:06,160
Speaker 1: that coming. But you know, we're I'm glad to be here.

51
00:02:06,200 --> 00:02:09,799
Speaker 1: You know, I know, Giants, big historical organization. You know

52
00:02:09,840 --> 00:02:12,040
Speaker 1: a lot of success, you know, the super Bowls, and

53
00:02:12,480 --> 00:02:14,040
Speaker 1: you know, no matter what anyone says, you know, we

54
00:02:14,040 --> 00:02:15,680
Speaker 1: gotta put the work and we'll see what happens once

55
00:02:15,720 --> 00:02:20,040
Speaker 1: the season rolls around quarterback, helping offensive line, just getting

56
00:02:20,080 --> 00:02:23,560
Speaker 1: into the right It's great, you know, when you have

57
00:02:23,600 --> 00:02:25,560
Speaker 1: a true veteran, you know who's had success. You know,

58
00:02:25,680 --> 00:02:27,680
Speaker 1: I'm sure he knows everything about the game. I'm sure

59
00:02:27,680 --> 00:02:30,119
Speaker 1: he knows then some coaches in the league. So I think,

60
00:02:30,160 --> 00:02:32,519
Speaker 1: you know, him being like a true coach in general

61
00:02:32,560 --> 00:02:34,840
Speaker 1: on the field will be great. You know, you see something,

62
00:02:34,919 --> 00:02:36,920
Speaker 1: he'll put us in the best position to help, you

63
00:02:36,960 --> 00:02:41,920
Speaker 1: know the play to do. I'm very excited. You know.

64
00:02:42,000 --> 00:02:44,919
Speaker 1: I think everyone knew, you know, wanted him in the draft,

65
00:02:44,960 --> 00:02:46,400
Speaker 1: and then you know, you see the highlights from the

66
00:02:46,480 --> 00:02:48,560
Speaker 1: year before. You know, I think you know, any time

67
00:02:48,600 --> 00:02:49,880
Speaker 1: you have it's a chance to touch the ball, there

68
00:02:49,919 --> 00:02:52,120
Speaker 1: is a chance he could break it. So you know

69
00:02:52,200 --> 00:02:54,360
Speaker 1: it's on us to get it done. So we can

70
00:02:54,400 --> 00:03:01,240
Speaker 1: do that more often. UM strong, very very strong. UM.

71
00:03:02,120 --> 00:03:04,480
Speaker 1: You know he's a good young guard and you know

72
00:03:04,520 --> 00:03:06,679
Speaker 1: we've been watching today. You know, I think you could

73
00:03:06,680 --> 00:03:09,400
Speaker 1: be speciale. You guys may be wired a little bit

74
00:03:09,400 --> 00:03:12,280
Speaker 1: similar if you kind of case. I think. So, you know,

75
00:03:12,360 --> 00:03:14,480
Speaker 1: he wants to work, he wants to get better every day,

76
00:03:14,600 --> 00:03:17,680
Speaker 1: and you know, I think that's the just the basis.

77
00:03:17,760 --> 00:03:18,960
Speaker 1: You know, if someone who wants to be good in

78
00:03:19,000 --> 00:03:21,240
Speaker 1: this league right there, there's been a lot of pressure

79
00:03:21,320 --> 00:03:23,160
Speaker 1: on the old line in fact, the last couple of

80
00:03:23,240 --> 00:03:26,399
Speaker 1: years of can this online function the way it needs

81
00:03:26,400 --> 00:03:29,280
Speaker 1: to do? You guys talk about the potential of how

82
00:03:29,280 --> 00:03:31,640
Speaker 1: could you guys, I think we all know the potential

83
00:03:31,720 --> 00:03:34,400
Speaker 1: is there, but you know, potential doesn't mean much. You know,

84
00:03:34,480 --> 00:03:36,080
Speaker 1: we have to put the work in each day, you know,

85
00:03:36,240 --> 00:03:38,160
Speaker 1: and actually get it done. And the only way to

86
00:03:38,200 --> 00:03:39,920
Speaker 1: see that will be once the game start rolling. If

87
00:03:39,920 --> 00:03:42,320
Speaker 1: you know, I say Kwan's running, you know, busting runs

88
00:03:42,360 --> 00:03:46,160
Speaker 1: every week. People often used to no nonsense when they

89
00:03:46,360 --> 00:03:48,880
Speaker 1: talk about you, What does that mean for me? I

90
00:03:48,920 --> 00:03:51,200
Speaker 1: just try to take my time seriously here. You know,

91
00:03:51,360 --> 00:03:53,280
Speaker 1: we've only got so many hours in the building, you know,

92
00:03:53,280 --> 00:03:56,680
Speaker 1: whether it's lifting, you know, practice meetings. You know, you

93
00:03:56,720 --> 00:03:59,360
Speaker 1: should really take advantage of it, you know, and once

94
00:03:59,400 --> 00:04:01,120
Speaker 1: that's done, you know you can cool down. But just

95
00:04:01,160 --> 00:04:04,600
Speaker 1: taking the time seriously in the building. Like the run game,

96
00:04:04,640 --> 00:04:06,680
Speaker 1: they like to knock people over, but you're you were

97
00:04:06,720 --> 00:04:10,720
Speaker 1: the highest graded past blocking guard in the NFL. Where

98
00:04:10,880 --> 00:04:12,960
Speaker 1: to talk a little about your past blocking and the

99
00:04:13,600 --> 00:04:15,440
Speaker 1: probably you're taking that. Um, you know, that was a

100
00:04:15,480 --> 00:04:17,560
Speaker 1: cool thing last year. You know, I credit a lot

101
00:04:17,600 --> 00:04:19,479
Speaker 1: to my teammates around me too, because it's never just

102
00:04:19,560 --> 00:04:22,640
Speaker 1: one guy. It's so many little things. Scheme, the guys

103
00:04:22,680 --> 00:04:25,880
Speaker 1: around you, the communication, and you know, that was great.

104
00:04:25,920 --> 00:04:27,919
Speaker 1: But that was last year. You know, this year that

105
00:04:28,440 --> 00:04:30,279
Speaker 1: a lot of talent, you know, a lot of challenges

106
00:04:30,320 --> 00:04:32,840
Speaker 1: and we'll take it each week at a time and

107
00:04:33,360 --> 00:04:35,760
Speaker 1: you know, hopefully, you know, working with the guys around me,

108
00:04:35,800 --> 00:04:37,760
Speaker 1: you know, we can keep having that type of success

109
00:04:37,800 --> 00:04:39,960
Speaker 1: because if that's happening, obviously the whole line is doing

110
00:04:39,960 --> 00:04:42,680
Speaker 1: well and that's what matters. You give an issue when

111
00:04:42,720 --> 00:04:44,800
Speaker 1: the line group, when you sit there and think, you know,

112
00:04:44,839 --> 00:04:47,440
Speaker 1: I got sacked forty seven times last year, I mean

113
00:04:47,520 --> 00:04:50,040
Speaker 1: that can't happen again this year? Yeah? Absolutely, I mean

114
00:04:50,600 --> 00:04:52,560
Speaker 1: the way the great team to betters if your QB

115
00:04:52,720 --> 00:04:55,560
Speaker 1: has more time and no feels good, So you know

116
00:04:55,640 --> 00:04:57,520
Speaker 1: that's just uh, you know everyone in the room, you

117
00:04:57,520 --> 00:04:58,840
Speaker 1: don't even need to ask, and you know everyone in

118
00:04:58,839 --> 00:05:00,920
Speaker 1: the room wants you know, had to disappear.
