1
00:00:00,720 --> 00:00:03,080
Speaker 1: Stephanie, I can't figure out how to raise my hand.

2
00:00:03,080 --> 00:00:05,400
Speaker 1: Would it be okay if I just start with the question.

3
00:00:05,880 --> 00:00:07,160
Speaker 2: No worries, Go ahead, Mike.

4
00:00:07,640 --> 00:00:11,520
Speaker 1: All right, big Mike, I want to get my video

5
00:00:11,560 --> 00:00:13,000
Speaker 1: going for you so you can see me.

6
00:00:13,480 --> 00:00:13,800
Speaker 2: Got you?

7
00:00:14,840 --> 00:00:15,920
Speaker 1: Can you see me right now?

8
00:00:16,920 --> 00:00:18,040
Speaker 2: Yeah? I can see all right?

9
00:00:18,079 --> 00:00:19,000
Speaker 3: Perfect?

10
00:00:19,560 --> 00:00:23,520
Speaker 1: Thanks for taking the time today. First of all, of course, Mike,

11
00:00:23,760 --> 00:00:25,160
Speaker 1: I wanted to ask you. I didn't get to talk

12
00:00:25,200 --> 00:00:28,280
Speaker 1: to you after the game. What how do you feel

13
00:00:28,320 --> 00:00:29,880
Speaker 1: about this whole right tackle thing.

14
00:00:32,360 --> 00:00:35,000
Speaker 4: I'm kind of indifferent, you know, I've played the position before,

15
00:00:35,120 --> 00:00:38,560
Speaker 4: so it's just about just and then going with tweet

16
00:00:39,240 --> 00:00:40,560
Speaker 4: the team that we're playing.

17
00:00:41,080 --> 00:00:43,320
Speaker 1: And what are those adjustments for you?

18
00:00:43,920 --> 00:00:44,040
Speaker 5: Like?

19
00:00:44,080 --> 00:00:44,560
Speaker 1: What are those?

20
00:00:46,600 --> 00:00:49,280
Speaker 4: Nothing specific? I mean more so just getting the reps

21
00:00:49,320 --> 00:00:50,800
Speaker 4: that I need or just getting the looks that I

22
00:00:50,840 --> 00:00:53,880
Speaker 4: need in practice to feel comfortable to play there on

23
00:00:54,000 --> 00:00:54,440
Speaker 4: our side.

24
00:00:56,160 --> 00:01:00,160
Speaker 1: And as you guys went through the corrections today, how

25
00:01:00,160 --> 00:01:01,400
Speaker 1: did you feel it went for you?

26
00:01:03,440 --> 00:01:05,319
Speaker 4: There were some good things, but there are always things

27
00:01:05,319 --> 00:01:08,760
Speaker 4: that can be better. You know, some sometimes some of

28
00:01:08,800 --> 00:01:10,640
Speaker 4: the round plays, you know, a couple of linebackers are

29
00:01:10,720 --> 00:01:13,959
Speaker 4: on blocked, but good thing we were on our double teams.

30
00:01:14,000 --> 00:01:15,880
Speaker 2: But you know, there's always things to improve.

31
00:01:17,360 --> 00:01:19,240
Speaker 1: And my last one, Mike, I mean, if this is

32
00:01:19,319 --> 00:01:21,600
Speaker 1: the the do you view this as the spot for

33
00:01:21,680 --> 00:01:24,280
Speaker 1: you going forward or how are you approaching it?

34
00:01:25,800 --> 00:01:27,520
Speaker 2: I'm really just oppression at wherever I'm at.

35
00:01:27,640 --> 00:01:29,959
Speaker 4: You know, I don't choose where I play, So you know,

36
00:01:30,120 --> 00:01:31,800
Speaker 4: I'm at the end of the day like I'm told

37
00:01:31,880 --> 00:01:34,480
Speaker 4: or I'm asked, or where I can be or will be.

38
00:01:34,600 --> 00:01:37,759
Speaker 2: So we'll just see where that happens to be.

39
00:01:41,560 --> 00:01:47,200
Speaker 5: And next question, Chris Ryan, are you doing.

40
00:01:47,080 --> 00:01:48,320
Speaker 2: Chris well good?

41
00:01:49,280 --> 00:01:51,440
Speaker 5: Going into that last drive? Was there anything that Mac

42
00:01:51,640 --> 00:01:55,200
Speaker 5: you know, said in the huddle? Was there any message

43
00:01:55,640 --> 00:01:57,240
Speaker 5: from him? And how would you kind of describe the

44
00:01:57,280 --> 00:02:00,760
Speaker 5: mindset of the group going into that drive.

45
00:02:03,200 --> 00:02:05,600
Speaker 4: There wasn't any exact message, but I mean we knew

46
00:02:05,680 --> 00:02:08,519
Speaker 4: what the situation was, you know, two minute drive to

47
00:02:08,560 --> 00:02:11,280
Speaker 4: win it all, so we all knew what we had

48
00:02:11,280 --> 00:02:11,440
Speaker 4: to do.

49
00:02:11,520 --> 00:02:13,320
Speaker 2: Everybody had to execute and be on their p's and

50
00:02:13,400 --> 00:02:14,760
Speaker 2: q So that's really what.

51
00:02:14,680 --> 00:02:16,840
Speaker 4: It was in the huddle and we all were just

52
00:02:16,880 --> 00:02:19,480
Speaker 4: fighting front of guy next to us and.

53
00:02:19,480 --> 00:02:22,480
Speaker 5: What did it mean to that group to execute and

54
00:02:22,639 --> 00:02:25,800
Speaker 5: to put together you know, that drive, a game winning

55
00:02:25,919 --> 00:02:28,840
Speaker 5: drive kind of in that in that context, previous drive

56
00:02:28,840 --> 00:02:31,720
Speaker 5: hadn't worked out the way you guys wanted turnover, and

57
00:02:31,760 --> 00:02:33,400
Speaker 5: then you go down and win the game against the

58
00:02:33,480 --> 00:02:33,959
Speaker 5: quality team.

59
00:02:33,960 --> 00:02:34,840
Speaker 6: What does that mean to the group?

60
00:02:35,760 --> 00:02:38,320
Speaker 4: It meant a lot, you know, in that fashion as well,

61
00:02:38,800 --> 00:02:42,400
Speaker 4: just coming through situationally and then executing on two minute

62
00:02:42,440 --> 00:02:44,880
Speaker 4: drive to end the game, you know, that really meant

63
00:02:44,880 --> 00:02:47,440
Speaker 4: a lot. We practiced those those situations a lot, so

64
00:02:47,440 --> 00:02:49,639
Speaker 4: it meant even more to come through on it.

65
00:02:50,480 --> 00:02:52,640
Speaker 5: The last thing, just as you watch the tape today,

66
00:02:53,120 --> 00:02:56,560
Speaker 5: what did you see from the offensive line as as

67
00:02:56,560 --> 00:02:59,000
Speaker 5: a group, What did you like about what you did

68
00:02:59,160 --> 00:03:01,600
Speaker 5: in that game? And what improvements did you see perhaps

69
00:03:01,600 --> 00:03:03,600
Speaker 5: from our previous contests.

70
00:03:05,680 --> 00:03:08,240
Speaker 4: I think I think everyone was playing together, you know,

71
00:03:09,000 --> 00:03:11,480
Speaker 4: and obviously the past few games we've had a few

72
00:03:11,480 --> 00:03:13,560
Speaker 4: adjustments to who's been in and who's been out. But

73
00:03:14,320 --> 00:03:16,400
Speaker 4: just so far as this last game, like everyone was

74
00:03:16,400 --> 00:03:18,520
Speaker 4: playing for each other, and everyone like played off of

75
00:03:18,560 --> 00:03:18,960
Speaker 4: each other.

76
00:03:19,080 --> 00:03:20,519
Speaker 2: You know, there was a lot of communication.

77
00:03:21,200 --> 00:03:23,080
Speaker 4: We were blistered a lot, so we are trying to

78
00:03:23,120 --> 00:03:25,440
Speaker 4: help each other out and let let the guy next

79
00:03:25,440 --> 00:03:27,560
Speaker 4: to us see what was going on or just give

80
00:03:27,600 --> 00:03:28,240
Speaker 4: him my heads up.

81
00:03:29,320 --> 00:03:31,120
Speaker 2: Thanks mike Ya.

82
00:03:31,919 --> 00:03:33,360
Speaker 6: Next question, Bob says.

83
00:03:34,440 --> 00:03:38,600
Speaker 7: Thanks Steph and Michael, I hope you're doing well. I

84
00:03:38,720 --> 00:03:41,240
Speaker 7: wanted to ask you about playing next to Pharaoh Brown,

85
00:03:41,720 --> 00:03:44,280
Speaker 7: not only on the offensive line, but also on the

86
00:03:44,280 --> 00:03:47,640
Speaker 7: field goal team and last first one offensive line play.

87
00:03:47,840 --> 00:03:49,840
Speaker 7: What are your what have been your impressions of him

88
00:03:49,840 --> 00:03:52,520
Speaker 7: as a teammate, both what he's done, you know, outside

89
00:03:52,600 --> 00:03:55,520
Speaker 7: your outside shoulder yesterday as a blocker in a pass cutcher.

90
00:03:56,920 --> 00:03:59,160
Speaker 4: Yeah, for it was definitely a hard nosed guy, you know.

91
00:03:59,240 --> 00:04:01,119
Speaker 4: You know he's gonna bring his lunch pill every day,

92
00:04:01,240 --> 00:04:05,040
Speaker 4: go to work in every game as well. This has

93
00:04:05,080 --> 00:04:07,480
Speaker 4: really been like more of my first time playing next

94
00:04:07,480 --> 00:04:10,560
Speaker 4: to him, obviously since playing tackles out work on him

95
00:04:10,560 --> 00:04:12,160
Speaker 4: on the doubles. You know he's going to come down

96
00:04:12,200 --> 00:04:13,800
Speaker 4: and we're going to get get in on the double

97
00:04:13,840 --> 00:04:15,240
Speaker 4: teams in there and past pro as well.

98
00:04:15,840 --> 00:04:16,840
Speaker 2: He's a dominant threat.

99
00:04:18,000 --> 00:04:19,800
Speaker 7: And the reason I bring up the field goal team

100
00:04:19,920 --> 00:04:23,119
Speaker 7: is Chad hit three kicks yesterday and I'm very trying

101
00:04:23,160 --> 00:04:25,240
Speaker 7: and condition one of them was after you guys had

102
00:04:25,279 --> 00:04:27,599
Speaker 7: to take the time out, you were sure to play

103
00:04:27,640 --> 00:04:30,599
Speaker 7: around the field and it looked like you and Pharaoh

104
00:04:30,640 --> 00:04:33,800
Speaker 7: were helping to alert the sideline to the fact that

105
00:04:34,000 --> 00:04:35,080
Speaker 7: he did another guy out there.

106
00:04:35,080 --> 00:04:36,719
Speaker 6: Can you take us through that situation?

107
00:04:37,480 --> 00:04:40,120
Speaker 7: And also I want to know your thoughts about Chad

108
00:04:40,640 --> 00:04:43,320
Speaker 7: having to set up again as a rookie in those

109
00:04:43,360 --> 00:04:46,919
Speaker 7: conditions from that distance, what did you think of his performance?

110
00:04:47,760 --> 00:04:49,920
Speaker 4: Yeah, Chad definitely came through, and you know, we're all

111
00:04:49,920 --> 00:04:52,560
Speaker 4: confident in him and he's a great kicker and everything

112
00:04:52,600 --> 00:04:53,520
Speaker 4: that he does.

113
00:04:54,800 --> 00:04:55,760
Speaker 2: For that play exactly.

114
00:04:55,839 --> 00:04:57,680
Speaker 4: I just remember I was lining up and I was

115
00:04:57,760 --> 00:05:00,120
Speaker 4: just looking at a want to sells my feet that

116
00:05:00,160 --> 00:05:02,080
Speaker 4: was next to me, and I'm like, I'm really, I'm

117
00:05:02,160 --> 00:05:04,200
Speaker 4: usually not right here. So I was like, somebody has

118
00:05:04,200 --> 00:05:06,599
Speaker 4: to be missing. So I was like, somebody's missing. Somebody missing.

119
00:05:06,960 --> 00:05:08,760
Speaker 4: So I was yelling over the sideline and then we

120
00:05:08,880 --> 00:05:11,559
Speaker 4: just so happened to get him back on the field

121
00:05:11,560 --> 00:05:13,520
Speaker 4: and we had to call the time out, but we

122
00:05:13,640 --> 00:05:14,120
Speaker 4: got the kick.

123
00:05:14,880 --> 00:05:16,760
Speaker 6: Yeah, exactly, you're going to use the time out, you

124
00:05:16,760 --> 00:05:17,719
Speaker 6: got to make the kick, right.

125
00:05:18,440 --> 00:05:18,719
Speaker 2: Yeah.

126
00:05:19,839 --> 00:05:22,640
Speaker 6: Congratulations, Michael, thank you, thank you.

127
00:05:22,680 --> 00:05:25,960
Speaker 2: I appreciate it. It looks like last question here from

128
00:05:26,040 --> 00:05:26,680
Speaker 2: Chris Price.

129
00:05:29,040 --> 00:05:30,720
Speaker 3: Hey, Mike, thanks for taking the time to do this.

130
00:05:30,960 --> 00:05:33,520
Speaker 3: You used a phrase yesterday in the locker room after

131
00:05:33,560 --> 00:05:35,520
Speaker 3: the game talking about that at the last drive used

132
00:05:35,520 --> 00:05:37,960
Speaker 3: the phrase composed energy. I was wondering if you could

133
00:05:38,000 --> 00:05:40,000
Speaker 3: kind of go a little deeper in terms of what

134
00:05:40,040 --> 00:05:41,920
Speaker 3: that means for you guys in the offensive line as

135
00:05:41,960 --> 00:05:42,240
Speaker 3: a whole.

136
00:05:43,240 --> 00:05:46,599
Speaker 4: Yeah, that was really just something I said at the moment.

137
00:05:46,680 --> 00:05:49,880
Speaker 4: I remember saying that, like just going on the field

138
00:05:50,720 --> 00:05:52,120
Speaker 4: one of the times we got the ball back, and

139
00:05:52,160 --> 00:05:53,360
Speaker 4: I was just like, you know, we don't got to

140
00:05:53,360 --> 00:05:54,680
Speaker 4: play outside of ourselves.

141
00:05:54,880 --> 00:05:55,480
Speaker 2: We don't have to.

142
00:05:55,680 --> 00:05:57,240
Speaker 4: You know, it's a big moment, of course, but we

143
00:05:57,240 --> 00:06:00,040
Speaker 4: don't have to like, you know, play crazy or do

144
00:06:00,080 --> 00:06:02,800
Speaker 4: anything like out of context too. You know, at the

145
00:06:02,880 --> 00:06:05,760
Speaker 4: end of the day, sometimes those those moments can make

146
00:06:05,839 --> 00:06:08,720
Speaker 4: or break game. So you know, just doing what we

147
00:06:08,760 --> 00:06:12,640
Speaker 4: know and just making sure we come through and do

148
00:06:12,680 --> 00:06:14,680
Speaker 4: everything that we can do to do what we know

149
00:06:14,720 --> 00:06:15,120
Speaker 4: how to do.

150
00:06:15,839 --> 00:06:17,880
Speaker 3: Last question for me real quick, if I could, what

151
00:06:18,080 --> 00:06:21,039
Speaker 3: was it like lining up alongside SIGHTI yesterday?

152
00:06:21,760 --> 00:06:24,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, City and it was good, Definitely City.

153
00:06:24,960 --> 00:06:26,520
Speaker 4: I mean he kind of reminds me of me, like

154
00:06:26,560 --> 00:06:28,320
Speaker 4: as a guard, you know, and I watched his tape

155
00:06:28,520 --> 00:06:32,080
Speaker 4: at Eastern, But you know, he's an athletic player and

156
00:06:32,120 --> 00:06:34,200
Speaker 4: he has a lot of bright a lot of bright

157
00:06:34,880 --> 00:06:37,320
Speaker 4: games and a lot of a bright future ahead of him.

158
00:06:37,960 --> 00:06:39,280
Speaker 2: Very smart player as well.

159
00:06:40,240 --> 00:06:45,120
Speaker 4: Thank you, you're welcome, all right, Thank you very much, Mike.

160
00:06:46,279 --> 00:06:47,359
Speaker 2: You guys have a nice one
