2
00:00:02,800 --> 00:00:07,360
Speaker 1: arionte Ersery. You go by Tay and tell me the

3
00:00:07,400 --> 00:00:10,000
Speaker 1: Texans move up. They trade a couple of picks away

4
00:00:10,039 --> 00:00:12,680
Speaker 1: to move up to get you. What's that mean to you?

5
00:00:12,840 --> 00:00:15,080
Speaker 1: And what are you going through right now? Man?

6
00:00:15,120 --> 00:00:18,040
Speaker 2: I'm fired up to be a Houston Texan man, and

7
00:00:18,400 --> 00:00:20,040
Speaker 2: I just I just want to give all credit to

8
00:00:20,079 --> 00:00:22,840
Speaker 2: the Texans for taking that chance on me and invested

9
00:00:22,840 --> 00:00:24,799
Speaker 2: in me as a player, as a man.

10
00:00:25,160 --> 00:00:27,200
Speaker 3: And like I said, they gonna get everything I got.

11
00:00:27,600 --> 00:00:29,520
Speaker 1: Well, they do take a chance on you, but it's

12
00:00:29,600 --> 00:00:32,640
Speaker 1: well warranted. I mean, you start the final thirty eight

13
00:00:32,680 --> 00:00:34,960
Speaker 1: games of your career at left tackle in the Big

14
00:00:35,040 --> 00:00:38,360
Speaker 1: Ten at Minnesota, you're a team captain, you go through

15
00:00:38,520 --> 00:00:41,680
Speaker 1: so much. What are you like as a football player?

16
00:00:41,720 --> 00:00:43,000
Speaker 1: Who are you and what are you going to bring

17
00:00:43,080 --> 00:00:43,560
Speaker 1: to this team?

18
00:00:43,880 --> 00:00:44,040
Speaker 3: Man?

19
00:00:44,040 --> 00:00:47,760
Speaker 2: I'm bringing that energy, I'm bringing that every play mentality,

20
00:00:47,960 --> 00:00:51,559
Speaker 2: just knocking guys off the ball. Just a true offensive lineman, man,

21
00:00:51,560 --> 00:00:53,519
Speaker 2: that personality. Man, just to go out there and be

22
00:00:53,600 --> 00:00:55,160
Speaker 2: a dominant force. That's what I'm bringing.

23
00:00:55,200 --> 00:00:55,360
Speaker 3: Man.

24
00:00:55,520 --> 00:00:58,960
Speaker 1: You say, a dominant force and the best offensive lineman

25
00:00:59,040 --> 00:01:01,760
Speaker 1: throughout the course of his in between the lines have

26
00:01:01,880 --> 00:01:04,400
Speaker 1: been nasty, They've been mean. How does that apply to you?

27
00:01:04,480 --> 00:01:05,520
Speaker 1: How true is that of you?

28
00:01:06,240 --> 00:01:09,039
Speaker 3: Man? If you look at the tape, that's that's well presented.

29
00:01:10,720 --> 00:01:12,959
Speaker 2: The thing the good thing about it, I can't hide it,

30
00:01:13,000 --> 00:01:14,960
Speaker 2: you know, It's just my personality. So when I'm out

31
