3
00:00:10,600 --> 00:00:13,000
Speaker 1: week ago, and I think there was a perception out

4
00:00:13,039 --> 00:00:15,640
Speaker 1: there and some of your teammates, even uh Luda Dehy,

5
00:00:15,640 --> 00:00:17,200

8
00:00:22,040 --> 00:00:24,400
Speaker 1: our home, you know, our hearts here and uh, you know,

9
00:00:24,440 --> 00:00:26,960
Speaker 1: excited to get back in. Uh, you know, go to work.

10
00:00:27,000 --> 00:00:28,840
Speaker 1: You know, obviously a lot of new faces coming in

11
00:00:29,640 --> 00:00:31,360
Speaker 1: and then we got the rookies coming in. So excited

12
00:00:31,400 --> 00:00:34,519
Speaker 1: to get back meet everybody, um and get this train. Role.

13
00:00:34,880 --> 00:00:37,559
Speaker 1: Was it a stressful process? Free agency? And you lose

14
00:00:37,600 --> 00:00:40,320
Speaker 1: a good friend like Joe Tuoney to the Kansas City

15
00:00:40,400 --> 00:00:42,440
Speaker 1: Chiefs and you guys played a lot of games, a

16
00:00:42,440 --> 00:00:46,599
Speaker 1: lot of tough snaps together, a lot of big games together. Um, unfortunately,

17
00:00:46,840 --> 00:00:48,479
Speaker 1: it's just part of it, right every year. I've never

18
00:00:48,520 --> 00:00:51,800
Speaker 1: been in the position as a free agent, um, you know,

19
00:00:51,840 --> 00:00:53,800
Speaker 1: and hated losing Joe. It's just part of it though,

20
00:00:53,840 --> 00:00:56,880
Speaker 1: you know he's been my wingman for five years and um,

21
00:00:57,280 --> 00:00:59,560
Speaker 1: you know he deserves every ounce of what he got, um,

22
00:01:00,520 --> 00:01:02,720
Speaker 1: you know, and he uh you know, kind of set

23
00:01:02,760 --> 00:01:04,560
Speaker 1: some his piece on Instagram and he did. He gave

24
00:01:04,640 --> 00:01:07,679
Speaker 1: us his all, you know, every week, every practice, every game,

25
00:01:07,840 --> 00:01:10,640
Speaker 1: and uh, you know, Dan proud to call him a teammate.

26
00:01:11,040 --> 00:01:13,039
Speaker 1: Good to get Trent Brown back. And I say that

27
00:01:13,120 --> 00:01:16,040
Speaker 1: from a continuity standpoint, and you know how important it

28
00:01:16,080 --> 00:01:18,120
Speaker 1: is is they have those same five guys up front,

29
00:01:18,200 --> 00:01:20,880
Speaker 1: especially throughout the course of a sixteen game, seventeen game,

30
00:01:20,959 --> 00:01:23,600
Speaker 1: maybe season next year. Yeah, you know, I think, uh,

31
00:01:23,640 --> 00:01:25,920
Speaker 1: I think we've made a pretty good addition to our

32
00:01:25,959 --> 00:01:30,520
Speaker 1: offensive line. Um, you know, between him Ted, Uh, you know,

33
00:01:31,000 --> 00:01:34,760
Speaker 1: got Mike coming back, Shack obviously Isaiah. Uh you know,

34
00:01:34,800 --> 00:01:36,680
Speaker 1: so we got a really good group of guys, um

35
00:01:37,080 --> 00:01:38,280
Speaker 1: you know, but now we just got to go to

36
00:01:38,280 --> 00:01:41,240
Speaker 1: work and uh build this thing again. Um you know,

37
00:01:41,240 --> 00:01:43,840
Speaker 1: it's part of it every year. Uh. But good to

38
00:01:43,840 --> 00:01:46,640
Speaker 1: have a lot of familiarity in the room, uh and

39
00:01:46,720 --> 00:01:49,040
Speaker 1: kind of know how we operate. Um. Not to bring

40
00:01:49,080 --> 00:01:50,880
Speaker 1: up last year, but last year was not fun for

41
00:01:51,120 --> 00:01:53,880
Speaker 1: multitude of reasons, whether it was the pandemic, you know,

42
00:01:53,920 --> 00:01:57,120
Speaker 1: playing not in front of fans, um, you know, just

43
00:01:57,120 --> 00:01:59,040
Speaker 1: just having a seven and nine record, which is not

44
00:01:59,080 --> 00:02:02,600
Speaker 1: acceptable around. How exciting word are you to find the

45
00:02:02,640 --> 00:02:04,400
Speaker 1: type of moves or to see the type of moves

46
00:02:04,400 --> 00:02:07,120
Speaker 1: that were made, uh, to sort of respond to what

47
00:02:07,160 --> 00:02:09,000
Speaker 1: we need to do and what was not acceptable not

48
00:02:09,040 --> 00:02:11,640
Speaker 1: acceptable a year ago. Yeah. No, I think it's definitely

49
00:02:11,680 --> 00:02:14,680
Speaker 1: the start of you know, turning this thing around. Um.

50
00:02:14,840 --> 00:02:16,320
Speaker 1: Part of the reason why I wanted to come back,

51
00:02:16,320 --> 00:02:18,799
Speaker 1: and you know, is to right this ship and get

52
00:02:18,840 --> 00:02:21,680
Speaker 1: it to where we need to be going. Um. You know,

53
00:02:21,800 --> 00:02:24,040
Speaker 1: but it's all kind of said and done if we

54
00:02:24,040 --> 00:02:26,399
Speaker 1: don't really put the work in and uh go back

55
00:02:26,400 --> 00:02:28,440
Speaker 1: there and uh, you know, get this thing we're roll

56
00:02:28,520 --> 00:02:31,359
Speaker 1: and build on it, um and just become the best

57
00:02:31,400 --> 00:02:33,440
Speaker 1: team we can. Be Excited to hopefully play in front

58
00:02:33,440 --> 00:02:35,680
Speaker 1: of fans again. Yeah, yeah, I mean I've been around

59
00:02:35,840 --> 00:02:37,320
