Yeah, 20 00:01:01,720 --> 00:01:05,399 Speaker 4: Beard's new though, Ye, Beard's new for sure. Guys kind 21 00:01:05,400 --> 00:01:07,520 Speaker 4: of encouraged me at the end of last season to 22 00:01:07,760 --> 00:01:10,320 Speaker 4: uh just let it go. We'll see what happens. So 23 00:01:11,240 --> 00:01:14,600 Speaker 4: guys like Roger rose Garden and Tyler we're culprits and 24 00:01:14,680 --> 00:01:18,600 Speaker 4: that and I've since let it go and I've trimmed 25 00:01:18,600 --> 00:01:20,560 Speaker 4: it up since a little bit, but I've tried to 26 00:01:21,360 --> 00:01:23,440 Speaker 4: let it be as natural as possible because this is 27 00:01:23,480 --> 00:01:27,000 Speaker 4: my first time ever doing it, so it's been an experience. 28 00:01:27,680 --> 00:01:30,000 Speaker 4: My wife has grown fond of it. At first, she 29 00:01:30,040 --> 00:01:33,000 Speaker 4: was a little skeptical, but as I kind of went 30 00:01:33,040 --> 00:01:36,080 Speaker 4: through that awkward phase and it kind of filled out 31 00:01:36,200 --> 00:01:39,199 Speaker 4: and got to where it is now in terms of length, 32 00:01:39,240 --> 00:01:42,039 Speaker 4: she started to come around. 33 00:01:42,080 --> 00:01:44,360 Speaker 2: So, Okay, it's an offensive lineman, it definitely. 34 00:01:45,080 --> 00:01:45,520 Speaker 3: Yeah. 35 00:01:45,520 --> 00:01:47,720 Speaker 1: I feel like the beer just gives you, like superpowers, 36 00:01:47,840 --> 00:01:50,800 Speaker 1: super blocking powers. No, Roger didn't have a beer though 37 00:01:50,800 --> 00:01:52,360 Speaker 1: he was baby faced last year, right. 38 00:01:53,120 --> 00:01:55,600 Speaker 4: I feel like he kind of ebbs and flows. I 39 00:01:56,240 --> 00:01:58,360 Speaker 4: feel like he does sometimes and then doesn't. 40 00:01:58,480 --> 00:01:59,960 Speaker 2: One of those guys can't stick with it. 41 00:02:00,640 --> 00:02:01,600 Speaker 5: Actually, that's great. 42 00:02:01,720 --> 00:02:02,200 Speaker 2: You've committed. 43 00:02:02,200 --> 00:02:03,720 Speaker 5: You've committed. You've committed. 44 00:02:03,760 --> 00:02:06,040 Speaker 6: Look, there's no beard. I could go for a month 45 00:02:06,040 --> 00:02:07,680 Speaker 6: with that jaf. I probably shouldn't have a beer, so 46 00:02:09,120 --> 00:02:11,440 Speaker 6: I will not have a beer in my future. But 47 00:02:11,840 --> 00:02:14,680 Speaker 6: it's funny you joke about with you and Tyler Linerbaum 48 00:02:15,120 --> 00:02:17,840 Speaker 6: working together this offseason. I literally feel like, do you 49 00:02:17,880 --> 00:02:18,920 Speaker 6: guys get your mail? 50 00:02:18,960 --> 00:02:19,520 Speaker 5: Delivered here. 51 00:02:19,520 --> 00:02:21,280 Speaker 6: I mean, you guys have been here every single day. 52 00:02:21,280 --> 00:02:23,359 Speaker 6: I don't think I've seen you not in the building 53 00:02:23,440 --> 00:02:24,520 Speaker 6: since last season ended. 54 00:02:24,960 --> 00:02:27,400 Speaker 3: Yeah, obviously we took a little bit of time off. 55 00:02:27,320 --> 00:02:30,400 Speaker 5: Ran when season got over, like an afternoon. 56 00:02:32,440 --> 00:02:35,480 Speaker 4: No, But in all seriousness, though, we took about two 57 00:02:35,480 --> 00:02:38,919 Speaker 4: weeks off. We did an O line trip which was 58 00:02:38,960 --> 00:02:40,880 Speaker 4: pretty fun. All of us for the most part were 59 00:02:40,880 --> 00:02:44,840 Speaker 4: they're and attended, so really enjoyed that. But then it 60 00:02:44,880 --> 00:02:47,120 Speaker 4: got away, took some personal time with my wife, and 61 00:02:47,160 --> 00:02:49,600 Speaker 4: then I wanted to get back here and start training. 62 00:02:49,639 --> 00:02:53,320 Speaker 4: I just the strength staff, we have the athletic training 63 00:02:53,320 --> 00:02:56,040 Speaker 4: staff as well. I think their top tier and and 64 00:02:56,280 --> 00:02:58,960 Speaker 4: they know what they're doing and I put my full 65 00:02:59,000 --> 00:03:01,240 Speaker 4: faith and trust in that to kind of develop my 66 00:03:01,280 --> 00:03:04,400 Speaker 4: body and get me right for what's to come. So 67 00:03:04,480 --> 00:03:07,079 Speaker 4: the off season program which is where we're at now, 68 00:03:07,120 --> 00:03:09,360 Speaker 4: and I feel like they did a really good job, 69 00:03:09,960 --> 00:03:12,239 Speaker 4: so I commend them for that. But yeah, Tyler and 70 00:03:12,280 --> 00:03:16,120 Speaker 4: I were pretty much here every day once we made 71 00:03:16,160 --> 00:03:20,680 Speaker 4: the commitment to come back and start our own off season. 72 00:03:20,960 --> 00:03:23,119 Speaker 2: Yeah, what was the offensive lineman trip? 73 00:03:24,639 --> 00:03:28,359 Speaker 4: So super long story short, we decided to go down 74 00:03:28,400 --> 00:03:31,560 Speaker 4: to Miami together, so it was it was. It came 75 00:03:31,639 --> 00:03:36,680 Speaker 4: down to going to Arizona or Miami or Puerto Rico. 76 00:03:37,920 --> 00:03:40,960 Speaker 4: So kind of all good options, but kind of all random. 77 00:03:41,520 --> 00:03:44,920 Speaker 4: I think at that point, just with playing all the 78 00:03:44,960 --> 00:03:48,240 Speaker 4: cold games at the back half of last season, I 79 00:03:48,280 --> 00:03:48,560 Speaker 4: think we. 80 00:03:48,600 --> 00:03:51,120 Speaker 3: Were all ready to go enjoy some warm weather. 81 00:03:51,400 --> 00:03:55,200 Speaker 4: So Miami was like high sixties, low seventies, and that 82 00:03:55,440 --> 00:03:57,520 Speaker 4: was like it might as well has been one hundred 83 00:03:57,520 --> 00:03:58,280 Speaker 4: degrees to its. 84 00:04:00,520 --> 00:04:02,000 Speaker 3: Yeah, Buffalo and it was. 85 00:04:02,480 --> 00:04:05,960 Speaker 4: I mean, you guys, remember just freezing cold and we're 86 00:04:06,280 --> 00:04:07,680 Speaker 4: faced up against all the elements. 87 00:04:08,200 --> 00:04:10,200 Speaker 3: Yeah, so yeah, it was a great time. Though. 88 00:04:10,240 --> 00:04:13,280 Speaker 4: We spent a few days down there, we rented a 89 00:04:13,400 --> 00:04:16,719 Speaker 4: huge house, did all that. But it was fun because 90 00:04:16,760 --> 00:04:19,640 Speaker 4: we all got to spend time together as a group 91 00:04:20,120 --> 00:04:23,920 Speaker 4: as the twenty twenty four Ravens offensive line for one 92 00:04:24,000 --> 00:04:27,599 Speaker 4: last official time. So we all appreciated it and everyone 93 00:04:27,640 --> 00:04:28,800 Speaker 4: who went had a blast. 94 00:04:29,200 --> 00:04:31,000 Speaker 2: Was it almost everybody from the whole line? 95 00:04:31,800 --> 00:04:34,520 Speaker 3: It was. Yeah, I think only one or two guys missed. 96 00:04:34,520 --> 00:04:36,600 Speaker 4: I'm not going to name drop on the spot right now, 97 00:04:36,720 --> 00:04:41,240 Speaker 4: but I'm sure right, yeah, yeah, things come up. But 98 00:04:41,640 --> 00:04:46,680 Speaker 4: Charlie Kohler actually, as an honorary offensive line he got in. Yeah, 99 00:04:47,560 --> 00:04:50,400 Speaker 4: we enjoyed his presence down there and really he out 100 00:04:50,440 --> 00:04:52,280 Speaker 4: of the lot to the to the group, so that 101 00:04:52,400 --> 00:04:52,800 Speaker 4: was fun. 102 00:04:53,040 --> 00:04:53,719 Speaker 5: He definitely does. 103 00:04:54,279 --> 00:04:56,880 Speaker 1: Going back to the weight room, you know, we joke about, 104 00:04:57,040 --> 00:04:59,400 Speaker 1: you know, you being bigger, but like you do legitimately 105 00:04:59,440 --> 00:05:02,400 Speaker 1: look bigger. Have you added more even mostly I mean 106 00:05:02,560 --> 00:05:04,839 Speaker 1: you're a big guy before, but have you even gotten 107 00:05:04,880 --> 00:05:05,560 Speaker 1: bigger and strogger? 108 00:05:05,560 --> 00:05:05,880 Speaker 2: You feel like? 109 00:05:05,960 --> 00:05:07,160 Speaker 3: Yeah, I definitely feel like it. 110 00:05:07,880 --> 00:05:09,720 Speaker 4: You know, time will tell once we go through all 111 00:05:09,760 --> 00:05:12,880 Speaker 4: of our testing and we get put on the DEXA 112 00:05:12,960 --> 00:05:18,000 Speaker 4: scan and all the muscle lean, muscle mass, different metrics 113 00:05:18,080 --> 00:05:20,360 Speaker 4: and stuff that we have and utilize here. So but 114 00:05:20,600 --> 00:05:23,920 Speaker 4: I definitely feel like I've gotten stronger. I think I 115 00:05:23,960 --> 00:05:25,840 Speaker 4: think all of our strength coaches would agree. I think 116 00:05:26,000 --> 00:05:30,280 Speaker 4: anadotically too. I think Tyler would agree kind of. I 117 00:05:30,320 --> 00:05:31,360 Speaker 4: guess behind closed. 118 00:05:31,160 --> 00:05:32,039 Speaker 2: Doors, I'm sure you would. 119 00:05:32,080 --> 00:05:34,400 Speaker 3: I'm sure. I still can't believe you threw me. 120 00:05:37,240 --> 00:05:39,159 Speaker 2: That's Tyler, that's crazy. 121 00:05:39,240 --> 00:05:40,720 Speaker 5: Yeah, you got to give a hard time about that. 122 00:05:41,400 --> 00:05:44,520 Speaker 6: It is like the time that you're spending here in 123 00:05:44,640 --> 00:05:47,760 Speaker 6: these off season, even before the official program started, like 124 00:05:47,800 --> 00:05:50,000 Speaker 6: as we're talking about, is really valuable. Do you like, 125 00:05:50,400 --> 00:05:53,520 Speaker 6: how how important is it in your mind to like 126 00:05:53,760 --> 00:05:56,400 Speaker 6: just invest the time, because honestly, since you've been. 127 00:05:56,400 --> 00:05:57,920 Speaker 5: Drafted, like you've been a guy who's just been here. 128 00:05:58,000 --> 00:05:59,440 Speaker 6: You know, you're from the West Coast, but you've come 129 00:05:59,480 --> 00:06:02,320 Speaker 6: and you've made here, and you've really committed to being here. 130 00:06:02,960 --> 00:06:04,400 Speaker 6: The first year, you're working a way back from the 131 00:06:04,480 --> 00:06:07,000 Speaker 6: injury and now you're working you know, going into a 132 00:06:07,080 --> 00:06:09,600 Speaker 6: big off season and all that. Like, how important in 133 00:06:09,760 --> 00:06:12,240 Speaker 6: your mind and your development hasn't been to just commit 134 00:06:12,680 --> 00:06:14,120 Speaker 6: to the off season workout? 135 00:06:14,680 --> 00:06:18,080 Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean, you're absolutely right in terms of from 136 00:06:18,160 --> 00:06:20,520 Speaker 4: California and went to school in Los Angeles and then 137 00:06:21,080 --> 00:06:22,960 Speaker 4: I ended up on the East Coast, So for me, 138 00:06:23,080 --> 00:06:24,520 Speaker 4: I might as well as be on the other side 139 00:06:24,520 --> 00:06:26,560 Speaker 4: of the world. I mean, I mean, I've never really 140 00:06:26,640 --> 00:06:28,640 Speaker 4: been out here before, so it's all been new to 141 00:06:28,760 --> 00:06:31,360 Speaker 4: me and it's been a great experience so far, and 142 00:06:31,400 --> 00:06:34,760 Speaker 4: I've really enjoyed my time out here and I really 143 00:06:34,800 --> 00:06:39,120 Speaker 4: have found home in Baltimore. So I just again, if 144 00:06:39,160 --> 00:06:40,920 Speaker 4: I'm out here, right, it might as well as be 145 00:06:41,000 --> 00:06:42,200 Speaker 4: here in the building getting better. 146 00:06:42,320 --> 00:06:43,680 Speaker 3: That's kind of my whole philosophy. 147 00:06:45,000 --> 00:06:49,239 Speaker 4: And then again credit to our staff and our support staff, 148 00:06:49,360 --> 00:06:50,680 Speaker 4: right strength coaches. 149 00:06:50,680 --> 00:06:51,200 Speaker 3: Et cetera. 150 00:06:51,920 --> 00:06:54,320 Speaker 4: Really believe in them, and you know, I feel like 151 00:06:54,400 --> 00:06:56,560 Speaker 4: if I give them one hundred percent, they'll give me 152 00:06:56,600 --> 00:06:58,479 Speaker 4: a hundred percent return and we'll kind of see where 153 00:06:58,520 --> 00:07:01,400 Speaker 4: this goes. And again, like you said, I I basically 154 00:07:01,520 --> 00:07:04,240 Speaker 4: did this last year as well, and it paid huge 155 00:07:04,279 --> 00:07:07,920 Speaker 4: dividends and so feel confident in them doing this again. 156 00:07:08,040 --> 00:07:11,160 Speaker 4: And you know, I found myself here pretty much every 157 00:07:11,240 --> 00:07:12,680 Speaker 4: day in this offseason school. 158 00:07:12,760 --> 00:07:15,520 Speaker 6: So I'm curious what you took away from last season? 159 00:07:15,640 --> 00:07:17,920 Speaker 6: Like you your rookie season was basically a right shert 160 00:07:18,000 --> 00:07:21,520 Speaker 6: year getting healthy, and then last year was your first 161 00:07:21,640 --> 00:07:24,720 Speaker 6: chance to play just play football again, play take NFL snaps, Like, 162 00:07:24,760 --> 00:07:26,800 Speaker 6: what did you take away from last year? 163 00:07:27,640 --> 00:07:30,080 Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean, just taking a year off from football 164 00:07:30,680 --> 00:07:33,400 Speaker 4: in regards to the injury and then getting back into 165 00:07:33,520 --> 00:07:36,640 Speaker 4: the speed of things was a huge adjustment. Right, So 166 00:07:37,320 --> 00:07:39,320 Speaker 4: it's obviously a big step when you when you go 167 00:07:40,200 --> 00:07:43,440 Speaker 4: up a level in terms of competition, right high school 168 00:07:43,480 --> 00:07:46,480 Speaker 4: to the college is a pretty big deal. But then 169 00:07:46,560 --> 00:07:49,240 Speaker 4: going from college to the National Football League, it's like whoa. 170 00:07:50,680 --> 00:07:53,880 Speaker 4: But then you compound that with being out for a 171 00:07:54,000 --> 00:07:57,480 Speaker 4: year coming off a major injury. You know, it was 172 00:07:57,520 --> 00:08:02,440 Speaker 4: a lot at first, and it took a while to adapt, 173 00:08:02,520 --> 00:08:05,960 Speaker 4: I feel like. But yeah, I mean last year was 174 00:08:06,600 --> 00:08:09,400 Speaker 4: interesting just dealing with what I was dealing with in 175 00:08:09,520 --> 00:08:13,400 Speaker 4: terms of my injury. But yeah, last year learned a 176 00:08:13,440 --> 00:08:16,600 Speaker 4: lot of great things, and going forward, I just think 177 00:08:16,640 --> 00:08:19,520 Speaker 4: it's another notch in my tool and my tool belt 178 00:08:19,600 --> 00:08:21,960 Speaker 4: that I feel like I kind of lean back on 179 00:08:22,120 --> 00:08:24,800 Speaker 4: in terms of adversity and grow and learn from it. 180 00:08:25,080 --> 00:08:25,280 Speaker 3: Yeah. 181 00:08:25,360 --> 00:08:27,920 Speaker 1: I mean, I thought it was pretty incredible that you 182 00:08:28,080 --> 00:08:30,200 Speaker 1: won the starting job out of training camp. I mean, 183 00:08:30,280 --> 00:08:33,079 Speaker 1: here you were, you were essentially a rookie, like you say, 184 00:08:33,160 --> 00:08:36,800 Speaker 1: coming off the major knee injury, and you won that job, 185 00:08:37,559 --> 00:08:39,400 Speaker 1: and then you start the first three games and then 186 00:08:39,480 --> 00:08:43,839 Speaker 1: unfortunately suffer an ankled ankle injury, which I'm sure had 187 00:08:43,880 --> 00:08:46,319 Speaker 1: to be pretty bad for you to come out of 188 00:08:46,360 --> 00:08:50,720 Speaker 1: the starting lineup. Can you talk about what that experience 189 00:08:50,800 --> 00:08:53,320 Speaker 1: early in the season, being a starter, winning that job, 190 00:08:53,440 --> 00:08:55,240 Speaker 1: what that does for you in terms of building the 191 00:08:55,320 --> 00:08:57,120 Speaker 1: floor for you for this year. 192 00:08:58,120 --> 00:09:01,319 Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean, just I just want to give credits 193 00:09:01,360 --> 00:09:05,120 Speaker 4: to my coaches, and I know last year was particularly 194 00:09:05,240 --> 00:09:09,199 Speaker 4: interesting with the passing of Joe d and dealing with 195 00:09:09,360 --> 00:09:12,480 Speaker 4: that at such a unique time. In terms of our 196 00:09:13,200 --> 00:09:15,520 Speaker 4: where we were right in terms of our our schedule 197 00:09:15,600 --> 00:09:19,160 Speaker 4: and year. Then coach Warhop came in and and really 198 00:09:19,200 --> 00:09:22,800 Speaker 4: took command of the room when kind of needed the 199 00:09:22,920 --> 00:09:26,040 Speaker 4: leader and needed a figure to come in and and 200 00:09:26,200 --> 00:09:27,880 Speaker 4: just guide us, right because we still had to go 201 00:09:28,040 --> 00:09:32,520 Speaker 4: play a football season. So you know, coach Op did 202 00:09:32,559 --> 00:09:36,880 Speaker 4: a great job, and you know, obviously, uh he gave 203 00:09:36,960 --> 00:09:39,320 Speaker 4: me the nod and and I earned the spot out 204 00:09:39,360 --> 00:09:42,600 Speaker 4: of camp. Then, like you said, suffered an inkle injury, 205 00:09:42,679 --> 00:09:46,320 Speaker 4: which was unfortunate in regards to not only the timing 206 00:09:46,440 --> 00:09:48,600 Speaker 4: but just because I just had come off a major 207 00:09:49,600 --> 00:09:52,920 Speaker 4: knee injury. Right, So it's hard to like describe, but 208 00:09:53,080 --> 00:09:56,199 Speaker 4: like if you just take a macro perspective and just 209 00:09:56,320 --> 00:09:59,760 Speaker 4: realize that it's just all part of the journey, it 210 00:09:59,800 --> 00:10:02,520 Speaker 4: really helps you just like clear in mind, because I 211 00:10:02,559 --> 00:10:07,000 Speaker 4: feel like if you focus on something, especially that after 212 00:10:07,160 --> 00:10:09,440 Speaker 4: my major knee injury, and it just could be like. 213 00:10:10,960 --> 00:10:11,280 Speaker 3: Daunting. 214 00:10:11,360 --> 00:10:13,839 Speaker 4: Yeah, exactly, But when you take the the thirty thousand 215 00:10:13,920 --> 00:10:17,840 Speaker 4: foot approach and really take a step back, you realize 216 00:10:17,880 --> 00:10:21,520 Speaker 4: that you're in the grand scheme of things. It's it's 217 00:10:21,640 --> 00:10:23,120 Speaker 4: I don't want to say, it's not a big deal. 218 00:10:23,280 --> 00:10:28,600 Speaker 4: But it's just another obstacle to overcome, you. 219 00:10:28,640 --> 00:10:32,360 Speaker 6: Know, as you had that starting experience, and then mcarey 220 00:10:32,400 --> 00:10:34,880 Speaker 6: stepped into the when you got hurt, he shoveled things around. 221 00:10:34,960 --> 00:10:37,920 Speaker 6: Roger went into the starting lineup, McCarry goes over to 222 00:10:38,040 --> 00:10:40,559 Speaker 6: left guard, and then and then he ends up, you know, 223 00:10:40,800 --> 00:10:42,760 Speaker 6: playing that for you know, he's playing well, and it's 224 00:10:42,840 --> 00:10:45,160 Speaker 6: like he was he kind of earned his force veteran player, 225 00:10:45,200 --> 00:10:47,599 Speaker 6: just kind a nice contract himself as So it's like, 226 00:10:48,840 --> 00:10:52,080 Speaker 6: how did you deal with that? Like when you're you're well, 227 00:10:52,160 --> 00:10:54,000 Speaker 6: like we were just talking about, you're working your way back, 228 00:10:54,040 --> 00:10:56,320 Speaker 6: and then injury happens and then you're just like all right, 229 00:10:56,440 --> 00:10:58,959 Speaker 6: I want to get back out there. I'm healthy now, 230 00:10:59,080 --> 00:11:01,160 Speaker 6: But like this guy's playing really well. So like, how 231 00:11:01,200 --> 00:11:03,520 Speaker 6: did you kind of busily wally pipped? Yeah, it's like 232 00:11:03,640 --> 00:11:07,120 Speaker 6: a tough, tough situation, but also knowing that, like you 233 00:11:07,200 --> 00:11:09,680 Speaker 6: could set back in at any point because offensive line 234 00:11:09,920 --> 00:11:11,880 Speaker 6: is a position that you cycle through a ton of guys. 235 00:11:12,160 --> 00:11:13,880 Speaker 5: How did you deal with all that last year? 236 00:11:14,120 --> 00:11:15,320 Speaker 3: Yeah? Well, two things. 237 00:11:15,400 --> 00:11:19,160 Speaker 4: So, first of all, the relationships that we have in 238 00:11:19,600 --> 00:11:22,280 Speaker 4: this offensive line room is super unique. 239 00:11:22,520 --> 00:11:23,800 Speaker 6: I got dosh that I just saw you guys all 240 00:11:23,880 --> 00:11:25,599 Speaker 6: hanging out having lunch. I mean, he's like, there's a 241 00:11:25,679 --> 00:11:26,280 Speaker 6: party out there. 242 00:11:26,360 --> 00:11:26,520 Speaker 3: Yeah. 243 00:11:26,640 --> 00:11:30,800 Speaker 4: No, we are great friends off the field, and you know, 244 00:11:30,880 --> 00:11:33,959 Speaker 4: I'm sure that's other teams can say that or other 245 00:11:34,000 --> 00:11:36,520 Speaker 4: position rooms or whatever, but I truly believe that we 246 00:11:36,640 --> 00:11:38,800 Speaker 4: are unique and that we are probably one of the 247 00:11:38,840 --> 00:11:43,240 Speaker 4: closest rooms in the National Football League. So just from 248 00:11:43,280 --> 00:11:49,240 Speaker 4: that alone, right, Like, there's no jealousy, there's no yeah, 249 00:11:49,320 --> 00:11:53,040 Speaker 4: no animosity. We all just want the best and want 250 00:11:53,080 --> 00:11:57,040 Speaker 4: team success first and foremost. So that's just a credit 251 00:11:57,080 --> 00:12:00,640 Speaker 4: to everyone's maturity in the room. And then, like I said, 252 00:12:00,920 --> 00:12:03,319 Speaker 4: because we are so close and have those relationships with 253 00:12:03,440 --> 00:12:06,280 Speaker 4: one another, uh, it kind of made it easy. And 254 00:12:06,440 --> 00:12:09,839 Speaker 4: in terms of like they're not being animosity like you're saying, Ryan. 255 00:12:10,800 --> 00:12:14,439 Speaker 4: And then secondly, uh, Patrick McCarey man, you talk about 256 00:12:16,160 --> 00:12:21,080 Speaker 4: an incredible person, was playing right tackle, right incredible athlete 257 00:12:21,120 --> 00:12:24,840 Speaker 4: playing right tackle, was working basically at right tackle all camp. 258 00:12:25,760 --> 00:12:28,760 Speaker 4: I go down after the Dallas game, he gets moved 259 00:12:28,840 --> 00:12:33,920 Speaker 4: from right tackle to left guard on a Tuesday and 260 00:12:34,160 --> 00:12:36,040 Speaker 4: is asked to go play We. 261 00:12:36,080 --> 00:12:37,800 Speaker 3: Played the Bills. Was that on? 262 00:12:38,080 --> 00:12:41,280 Speaker 4: Was that that was a Sunday night Sunday night fall 263 00:12:41,400 --> 00:12:46,240 Speaker 4: prime time against the Bills and goes out there plays 264 00:12:46,280 --> 00:12:48,640 Speaker 4: his plays an amazing game, right. I think the first 265 00:12:48,640 --> 00:12:50,600 Speaker 4: play the ruin. 266 00:12:50,800 --> 00:12:52,840 Speaker 1: I think left guard was the only position he had 267 00:12:52,880 --> 00:12:55,520 Speaker 1: not started a game at in his career, Like he's 268 00:12:55,520 --> 00:12:57,240 Speaker 1: a unicorn, but that was the only spot. 269 00:12:57,320 --> 00:13:00,000 Speaker 3: Yeah, that was the first start. So you can pletely 270 00:13:00,160 --> 00:13:02,160 Speaker 3: the the five PC. 271 00:13:06,080 --> 00:13:10,480 Speaker 4: So yeah, yeah, But seriously though that anybody who's played football, 272 00:13:11,120 --> 00:13:13,320 Speaker 4: that's incredible and to be able to do that at 273 00:13:13,440 --> 00:13:18,200 Speaker 4: this level is unbelievable. Yea, So huge credit to him. 274 00:13:18,559 --> 00:13:21,360 Speaker 4: He earned it. U He went out there and played well. 275 00:13:22,120 --> 00:13:24,720 Speaker 4: Uh and so it was good to see that from him, 276 00:13:24,840 --> 00:13:28,600 Speaker 4: and obviously being a veteran in the room, Patrick McCarey, right, 277 00:13:29,559 --> 00:13:33,719 Speaker 4: it was awesome to see him shine and get his opportunity. 278 00:13:34,080 --> 00:13:37,800 Speaker 1: Yeah, what did you learn about yourself over those first 279 00:13:37,880 --> 00:13:38,720 Speaker 1: three starts? 280 00:13:38,760 --> 00:13:41,079 Speaker 2: And how did you feel like you played? 281 00:13:41,160 --> 00:13:41,319 Speaker 3: Where? 282 00:13:41,440 --> 00:13:43,040 Speaker 1: Where did you feel like, all right, this is really 283 00:13:43,120 --> 00:13:46,200 Speaker 1: working or where do I need to improve? Just talk 284 00:13:46,240 --> 00:13:47,199 Speaker 1: about those three games. 285 00:13:47,920 --> 00:13:51,520 Speaker 4: Yeah, So obviously outcomes of the first two weren't what 286 00:13:51,640 --> 00:13:54,680 Speaker 4: we wanted, right, So you go out to to Kansas 287 00:13:54,720 --> 00:13:59,560 Speaker 4: City and lose on that Thursday night game, with devastating ending, 288 00:13:59,720 --> 00:14:03,560 Speaker 4: right because unlikely was a a pair of white cleats away. 289 00:14:03,840 --> 00:14:09,240 Speaker 3: Yeah from score. So that was that was interesting. 290 00:14:09,280 --> 00:14:12,320 Speaker 4: That was my first game back right from my injury, 291 00:14:12,440 --> 00:14:14,520 Speaker 4: and that was my first game in the National Football League. 292 00:14:16,240 --> 00:14:19,240 Speaker 4: High The stadium was as you can imagine, rocking defending 293 00:14:19,280 --> 00:14:21,560 Speaker 4: Super Bowl champions on Thursday night football. 294 00:14:21,920 --> 00:14:24,320 Speaker 5: That's a way to start for you, and that's cool. 295 00:14:24,600 --> 00:14:26,160 Speaker 5: I'm sure the butterflies you had to be. 296 00:14:26,440 --> 00:14:29,080 Speaker 4: Yeah, and I just again try to take it all in, right, 297 00:14:29,200 --> 00:14:34,320 Speaker 4: and that was an awesome experience. But yeah, go so 298 00:14:34,520 --> 00:14:37,480 Speaker 4: lose that game. Unfortunately, then we play the Raiders the 299 00:14:37,560 --> 00:14:42,000 Speaker 4: next week and have another devastating, just weird loss, I 300 00:14:42,080 --> 00:14:45,640 Speaker 4: mean know, kind of indescribable loss. Really didn't feel like 301 00:14:45,720 --> 00:14:48,560 Speaker 4: we should have lost it by any means. And then 302 00:14:48,600 --> 00:14:51,200 Speaker 4: go to Dallas and then we just have a running 303 00:14:51,280 --> 00:14:54,360 Speaker 4: fest there. I mean, Derrek Henry had however many yards 304 00:14:54,360 --> 00:14:56,720 Speaker 4: I think we rest for like almost two hundred and seventy. 305 00:14:56,920 --> 00:14:58,240 Speaker 3: Yeah, so that ball part. 306 00:14:59,440 --> 00:15:02,120 Speaker 4: But then fortunately that's when I went down. But those 307 00:15:02,160 --> 00:15:07,560 Speaker 4: three games just wow, Like it's a lot different than college. 308 00:15:07,760 --> 00:15:10,200 Speaker 4: You know, you see it and it's one thing to 309 00:15:10,720 --> 00:15:12,720 Speaker 4: watch it, but when you go out there and experience 310 00:15:12,800 --> 00:15:16,360 Speaker 4: it for yourself for the first time or first couple 311 00:15:16,440 --> 00:15:18,760 Speaker 4: of times. Right for me, it was just it was 312 00:15:18,760 --> 00:15:20,720 Speaker 4: just fast paced. It was like, wow, like this is 313 00:15:20,920 --> 00:15:22,720 Speaker 4: this is it, this is what the highest level of 314 00:15:23,240 --> 00:15:26,720 Speaker 4: a football is like. So it's fun. I really enjoyed 315 00:15:26,760 --> 00:15:29,400 Speaker 4: it and look forward to more. 316 00:15:30,000 --> 00:15:34,040 Speaker 1: Do you feel like now entering this year and obviously 317 00:15:34,080 --> 00:15:36,200 Speaker 1: OTA's mini camp training camp have a long way to go, 318 00:15:36,360 --> 00:15:40,160 Speaker 1: but do you feel like I'm a much better player 319 00:15:40,200 --> 00:15:42,720 Speaker 1: than I was a year ago at the same point. 320 00:15:43,480 --> 00:15:46,880 Speaker 3: Yeah, And I think I agree with you. I think 321 00:15:46,920 --> 00:15:47,560 Speaker 3: that is true. 322 00:15:48,680 --> 00:15:51,160 Speaker 4: You go back and had the opportunity to play late 323 00:15:51,200 --> 00:15:56,680 Speaker 4: in the season, so I gotta got a majority of 324 00:15:56,680 --> 00:16:01,360 Speaker 4: those snaps. Felt like right that between the Dallas game 325 00:16:01,720 --> 00:16:05,320 Speaker 4: and what was that week seventeen? Last week, Yeah, last 326 00:16:05,360 --> 00:16:09,080 Speaker 4: regular season game, I felt like I went out there 327 00:16:09,120 --> 00:16:13,280 Speaker 4: and showed to our coaching staff, my teammates right at 328 00:16:13,320 --> 00:16:16,480 Speaker 4: the world, really that I had developed and become a 329 00:16:16,800 --> 00:16:19,440 Speaker 4: much better player. And I think I think had a 330 00:16:19,480 --> 00:16:22,040 Speaker 4: pretty great game, and so I think that was exciting 331 00:16:22,160 --> 00:16:26,320 Speaker 4: to a lot of people, including myself. But yeah, I 332 00:16:26,720 --> 00:16:29,280 Speaker 4: think definitely, let's say I've become a better football player 333 00:16:29,360 --> 00:16:31,240 Speaker 4: through through all this, that's cool. 334 00:16:31,360 --> 00:16:34,360 Speaker 6: So so now you go into this season and it's 335 00:16:34,400 --> 00:16:36,760 Speaker 6: a it's different in the sense that you're not coming 336 00:16:36,800 --> 00:16:38,920 Speaker 6: back from the injury and you've played and so it's 337 00:16:39,160 --> 00:16:41,560 Speaker 6: that stuff is all in the past. But you're in 338 00:16:41,560 --> 00:16:43,240 Speaker 6: a similar situation that you're coming in and you have 339 00:16:43,280 --> 00:16:46,120 Speaker 6: a chance to start for a compete for a starting job. 340 00:16:46,680 --> 00:16:48,360 Speaker 6: How do you look at that and just the competition 341 00:16:48,480 --> 00:16:50,440 Speaker 6: that you'll have in front of you over the course 342 00:16:50,480 --> 00:16:51,960 Speaker 6: of this offseason into training camp. 343 00:16:52,200 --> 00:16:54,560 Speaker 4: Yeah, I think I just go into every year just 344 00:16:54,640 --> 00:16:56,400 Speaker 4: trying to be the best football player I can be 345 00:16:56,880 --> 00:16:58,520 Speaker 4: and then just let the rest take care of itself. 346 00:16:59,520 --> 00:17:01,720 Speaker 4: You can get in your head and you start thinking 347 00:17:01,760 --> 00:17:07,040 Speaker 4: about numbers and positions and dratlet whatever. We just go 348 00:17:07,160 --> 00:17:09,560 Speaker 4: out there and do what you can do to be 349 00:17:09,680 --> 00:17:13,080 Speaker 4: the best football player that you can be. You'll put 350 00:17:13,119 --> 00:17:18,320 Speaker 4: yourself in a position of success for the most part, right. 351 00:17:18,400 --> 00:17:20,680 Speaker 4: I know, obviously things are sometimes out of your control 352 00:17:20,880 --> 00:17:24,240 Speaker 4: or non favorable, but that's kind of been my mentality 353 00:17:24,280 --> 00:17:27,600 Speaker 4: throughout my football career. Just work hard, do the right thing, 354 00:17:29,280 --> 00:17:31,440 Speaker 4: and the rest will take care of itself. I really 355 00:17:31,560 --> 00:17:32,639 Speaker 4: do truly believe that. 356 00:17:33,320 --> 00:17:36,240 Speaker 6: How fun is it with this offensive line, Like, you 357 00:17:36,320 --> 00:17:37,920 Speaker 6: guys run the ball as well as anybody in the 358 00:17:38,000 --> 00:17:41,240 Speaker 6: league with Lamar and Derek and I know, offensive linemen 359 00:17:41,400 --> 00:17:44,680 Speaker 6: generally love if you can have a system that you're 360 00:17:44,720 --> 00:17:47,640 Speaker 6: running downhill and you're milking the clock in the fourth 361 00:17:47,720 --> 00:17:49,440 Speaker 6: quarter and you can control the game and kind of 362 00:17:49,480 --> 00:17:51,920 Speaker 6: take the will out of the opponent. That is just 363 00:17:52,000 --> 00:17:55,120 Speaker 6: like that offensivelignment chairs, Like, how much do you enjoy 364 00:17:55,200 --> 00:17:57,160 Speaker 6: playing in this system on an offensive line? 365 00:17:57,640 --> 00:17:57,840 Speaker 3: Yeah? 366 00:17:58,000 --> 00:18:00,000 Speaker 4: No, I mean running the ball is an offensive line 367 00:18:00,280 --> 00:18:03,399 Speaker 4: is awesome just multiple reasons, right, You just eat up 368 00:18:03,440 --> 00:18:07,480 Speaker 4: the clock, you take away possessions from the opponents, you 369 00:18:07,600 --> 00:18:12,639 Speaker 4: keep the chains going, and it is demoralizing to defenders 370 00:18:12,760 --> 00:18:15,520 Speaker 4: when you're moving them off the ball and you're having 371 00:18:15,680 --> 00:18:16,440 Speaker 4: great success. 372 00:18:16,600 --> 00:18:19,080 Speaker 3: So it's really fun. It is trying. 373 00:18:19,280 --> 00:18:21,359 Speaker 4: Like one of the gyms of being an offensive liignment 374 00:18:21,440 --> 00:18:23,040 Speaker 4: is being able to run the ball and run the 375 00:18:23,080 --> 00:18:26,800 Speaker 4: ball really well. So super grateful that, again, we have 376 00:18:27,080 --> 00:18:32,000 Speaker 4: an awesome offensive coordinator, awesome offensive line coach. Even our receivers, 377 00:18:32,119 --> 00:18:33,919 Speaker 4: like a lot of people don't realize it, but they 378 00:18:34,000 --> 00:18:37,120 Speaker 4: play a big role in the success of the run game, 379 00:18:37,680 --> 00:18:41,040 Speaker 4: and their selflessness out there is amazing. They'll sell out 380 00:18:42,200 --> 00:18:44,480 Speaker 4: and run across the field to go make a block 381 00:18:45,480 --> 00:18:49,960 Speaker 4: thirty yards away that Derrick Henry will then spring for 382 00:18:50,040 --> 00:18:54,800 Speaker 4: another twenty yards or touchdown or whatever. So it's awesome 383 00:18:54,840 --> 00:18:57,479 Speaker 4: to be around a bunch of selfless dudes who are 384 00:18:57,520 --> 00:19:01,439 Speaker 4: passionate and just want the the team to be successful. 385 00:19:01,960 --> 00:19:04,920 Speaker 1: What's it like playing next to Tyler Linboum wise cracks 386 00:19:04,960 --> 00:19:07,440 Speaker 1: a side, you know, maybe this is your chance to 387 00:19:07,480 --> 00:19:07,919 Speaker 1: get him back. 388 00:19:09,280 --> 00:19:09,960 Speaker 5: Tyler threw. 389 00:19:12,320 --> 00:19:15,840 Speaker 2: Opportunity right. What's it like playing next to Tyler Linnenbaum? 390 00:19:15,920 --> 00:19:18,080 Speaker 2: And what can you tell us behind the scenes about. 391 00:19:20,280 --> 00:19:23,520 Speaker 4: Tyler is a special player and then Ronnie is too, 392 00:19:23,640 --> 00:19:28,080 Speaker 4: right running left tackle, they're both special players. But Tyler man, 393 00:19:28,160 --> 00:19:31,720 Speaker 4: he's he's wise out there. He sees stuff that a 394 00:19:31,800 --> 00:19:34,639 Speaker 4: lot of us don't necessarily see and is able to 395 00:19:34,720 --> 00:19:37,119 Speaker 4: process and it kind of predicts stuff. 396 00:19:37,280 --> 00:19:40,359 Speaker 2: So like blitzes and just alignments, you know, I. 397 00:19:40,400 --> 00:19:43,080 Speaker 4: Mean, defensive coordinators are smart, they try to hide stuff 398 00:19:43,240 --> 00:19:47,119 Speaker 4: and blitz is whatever it may be. Tyler is a 399 00:19:47,160 --> 00:19:50,560 Speaker 4: great job of sniffing it out. So it's incredible playing 400 00:19:50,640 --> 00:19:54,399 Speaker 4: next to him, just from his mental sharpness, but then 401 00:19:54,440 --> 00:19:58,520 Speaker 4: obviously his physical ability as well. You just see some 402 00:19:58,600 --> 00:20:00,520 Speaker 4: of the stuff he's able to do out there, and 403 00:20:00,600 --> 00:20:05,480 Speaker 4: it's just like how like it's so fast and it 404 00:20:05,600 --> 00:20:09,320 Speaker 4: plays with great leverage and great effort, and he always 405 00:20:09,400 --> 00:20:12,119 Speaker 4: ends up on our teach tape is what we call it, 406 00:20:12,720 --> 00:20:16,240 Speaker 4: kind of our highlight tape. So yeah, it definitely makes 407 00:20:16,280 --> 00:20:18,479 Speaker 4: football a lot easier when you're playing next to great players. 408 00:20:18,680 --> 00:20:20,280 Speaker 5: Yeah, hereious on the other side. 409 00:20:20,359 --> 00:20:25,120 Speaker 6: So you mentioned Ronnie, Like with Ronnie, he's interesting because 410 00:20:25,200 --> 00:20:29,120 Speaker 6: last year he played great then obviously got another contract, 411 00:20:29,400 --> 00:20:31,159 Speaker 6: but he really took on like a leadership role on 412 00:20:31,240 --> 00:20:33,320 Speaker 6: the offensive line, and going into last year, there's this 413 00:20:33,440 --> 00:20:35,240 Speaker 6: questions you got to replace all these starters, and like 414 00:20:35,440 --> 00:20:37,680 Speaker 6: everyone was questioning on the offensive line, and like Ronnie 415 00:20:37,800 --> 00:20:39,440 Speaker 6: kind of stuck his neck out there for the group 416 00:20:39,480 --> 00:20:41,200 Speaker 6: as a whole, being like it's going to be a 417 00:20:41,240 --> 00:20:44,000 Speaker 6: good group. I have confidence in this group, Like everybody 418 00:20:44,160 --> 00:20:46,160 Speaker 6: chill out, like this is gonna be a good offensive line. 419 00:20:46,640 --> 00:20:49,560 Speaker 6: As one of like the young players who was competing 420 00:20:49,640 --> 00:20:51,639 Speaker 6: to win one of those starting jobs that people were 421 00:20:51,680 --> 00:20:53,560 Speaker 6: wondering about, what did it mean to you when you 422 00:20:53,640 --> 00:20:56,480 Speaker 6: had Ronnie who's like the leader, who's gotten the big contract, 423 00:20:56,520 --> 00:20:58,720 Speaker 6: he's a Pro Bowl player going out on the limb 424 00:20:58,760 --> 00:21:01,240 Speaker 6: and saying, like, everybody, chill this line. These young players 425 00:21:01,240 --> 00:21:01,840 Speaker 6: are going to be good. 426 00:21:02,520 --> 00:21:06,480 Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean it's awesome we have the veteran leadership 427 00:21:06,520 --> 00:21:08,840 Speaker 4: in the room like that. It's just they become the 428 00:21:08,880 --> 00:21:09,520 Speaker 4: focal point. 429 00:21:09,640 --> 00:21:09,760 Speaker 3: Right. 430 00:21:10,040 --> 00:21:13,760 Speaker 4: So when obviously, again like all the adversity we faced 431 00:21:13,800 --> 00:21:17,399 Speaker 4: early season passing to Joe d Ronnie was really somebody 432 00:21:17,440 --> 00:21:19,920 Speaker 4: to lean on in our room, and so that was 433 00:21:20,040 --> 00:21:23,480 Speaker 4: huge for us. But then also he backed it up 434 00:21:23,640 --> 00:21:26,199 Speaker 4: last year. I felt like he played a majority, if 435 00:21:26,280 --> 00:21:28,280 Speaker 4: not all the snaps, right. I mean we could, we 436 00:21:28,320 --> 00:21:31,520 Speaker 4: could look at the numbers and see exactly what it was, 437 00:21:31,720 --> 00:21:34,520 Speaker 4: but he backed it up and he went out there 438 00:21:34,520 --> 00:21:37,880 Speaker 4: and I think he played at a high a high caliber. 439 00:21:38,520 --> 00:21:40,280 Speaker 4: It was a high caliber player last year for us, 440 00:21:40,359 --> 00:21:45,320 Speaker 4: and obviously was backed up by a pretty lucrative extension. 441 00:21:45,480 --> 00:21:49,800 Speaker 4: So that's exciting for him for sure. But yeah, definitely 442 00:21:50,720 --> 00:21:54,359 Speaker 4: having somebody like that in the room, especially in the 443 00:21:54,400 --> 00:21:58,560 Speaker 4: offensive line room, really helps us out because you know, 444 00:21:58,720 --> 00:22:00,520 Speaker 4: he kind of can get lost in the when you 445 00:22:00,560 --> 00:22:03,520 Speaker 4: don't have that veteran leadership. And I'm not saying other 446 00:22:03,560 --> 00:22:07,720 Speaker 4: guys didn't, but it was encouraging to see Ronnie kind 447 00:22:07,760 --> 00:22:14,040 Speaker 4: of take that role where and just kind of backed 448 00:22:14,040 --> 00:22:16,560 Speaker 4: it up right with us play, Yeah, and it was 449 00:22:16,640 --> 00:22:18,840 Speaker 4: just a cornerstone, cornerstone for us. 450 00:22:19,040 --> 00:22:19,240 Speaker 3: Yeah. 451 00:22:19,560 --> 00:22:22,720 Speaker 1: Obviously with Pat leaving in free agency, you know, that's 452 00:22:22,800 --> 00:22:25,440 Speaker 1: that's one loss. But for the most part, a lot 453 00:22:25,520 --> 00:22:28,119 Speaker 1: of continuity on this offensive line, a lot more than 454 00:22:28,280 --> 00:22:29,000 Speaker 1: the year prior. 455 00:22:29,240 --> 00:22:32,000 Speaker 2: Right when there's a ton of turnover. I mean, really, 456 00:22:32,680 --> 00:22:33,920 Speaker 2: you have starters coming. 457 00:22:33,720 --> 00:22:36,680 Speaker 1: Back in every single spot, including yourself, you know, So 458 00:22:37,200 --> 00:22:39,920 Speaker 1: how much of a difference do you think that will 459 00:22:40,000 --> 00:22:42,800 Speaker 1: make this upcoming season? And do you guys look around 460 00:22:42,880 --> 00:22:46,119 Speaker 1: the room and say, we can really be really special 461 00:22:46,160 --> 00:22:48,400 Speaker 1: if you know, I feel like the offensive line got 462 00:22:48,680 --> 00:22:51,040 Speaker 1: so much better as the course as the season went 463 00:22:51,119 --> 00:22:54,080 Speaker 1: on and kept growing and everything and Roger getting better. Like, 464 00:22:54,200 --> 00:22:56,119 Speaker 1: how good do you feel like this group can be 465 00:22:56,640 --> 00:22:58,800 Speaker 1: can be this season because of all that continuity? 466 00:22:59,280 --> 00:23:01,320 Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean I think we could be as good 467 00:23:01,359 --> 00:23:04,520 Speaker 4: as we want to be. So again, you said like 468 00:23:04,600 --> 00:23:07,040 Speaker 4: there's a bunch of starters coming back, there's continuity in 469 00:23:07,080 --> 00:23:13,520 Speaker 4: the room, relationships, right or getting stronger between us, right. 470 00:23:14,440 --> 00:23:17,600 Speaker 4: But I'm excited to see what it looks like out 471 00:23:17,640 --> 00:23:20,560 Speaker 4: there when all five of us are are out there. 472 00:23:20,640 --> 00:23:24,920 Speaker 4: Whoever the five may be right, but ultimately I'm excited 473 00:23:24,960 --> 00:23:27,080 Speaker 4: and I think I think just all of it's going 474 00:23:27,119 --> 00:23:29,440 Speaker 4: to pay dividends on the back end for us, and 475 00:23:29,960 --> 00:23:32,000 Speaker 4: again just excited to see what we're about. 476 00:23:32,359 --> 00:23:33,399 Speaker 5: The last one for me. 477 00:23:34,200 --> 00:23:36,119 Speaker 6: We spend all this time talking about off season training 478 00:23:36,200 --> 00:23:38,280 Speaker 6: and going through the weight room stuff, which is all great, 479 00:23:38,320 --> 00:23:40,359 Speaker 6: but I feel like for an offensive lineman, you've got 480 00:23:40,400 --> 00:23:41,920 Speaker 6: to reach a point in the off season where you're like, 481 00:23:41,920 --> 00:23:42,639 Speaker 6: can we put a helmet on? 482 00:23:42,640 --> 00:23:43,680 Speaker 5: Can we put shoulder pads on? 483 00:23:43,800 --> 00:23:47,960 Speaker 6: Like there's always so much weightlifting drills, classroom work, Like 484 00:23:48,000 --> 00:23:49,480 Speaker 6: at what point do you just get tired of all 485 00:23:49,560 --> 00:23:51,239 Speaker 6: that stuff and like let's get into training camp put 486 00:23:51,280 --> 00:23:51,680 Speaker 6: the paths on. 487 00:23:51,960 --> 00:23:54,480 Speaker 4: That definitely happens in phase three when we have just 488 00:23:54,600 --> 00:23:58,639 Speaker 4: the helmets on, yeah, you know, because obviously, like we 489 00:23:58,800 --> 00:24:01,040 Speaker 4: have the rules out there can and can't do, and 490 00:24:01,640 --> 00:24:03,359 Speaker 4: you know, we have helmets on, so you kind of 491 00:24:03,640 --> 00:24:06,280 Speaker 4: your head's protected and it's just like the rest of 492 00:24:06,320 --> 00:24:09,080 Speaker 4: your body is almost sacrificial out there. You feel like 493 00:24:09,119 --> 00:24:11,239 Speaker 4: you almost feel invincible. You got the helmet on, right, 494 00:24:11,280 --> 00:24:14,399 Speaker 4: it's like Zucker fully suited up. So you know, sometimes 495 00:24:14,480 --> 00:24:16,760 Speaker 4: that could get a little chippy out there, and you know, 496 00:24:16,840 --> 00:24:19,440 Speaker 4: it's hard for us in the trenches both sides of 497 00:24:19,480 --> 00:24:22,240 Speaker 4: the ball. We try to do our best and don't 498 00:24:22,240 --> 00:24:25,160 Speaker 4: want get pushed around. Yeah, when we have two three 499 00:24:25,240 --> 00:24:29,879 Speaker 4: hundred plus pound offensive defensive lineman butting heads who are 500 00:24:29,920 --> 00:24:32,040 Speaker 4: both not trying to get pushed around, it it kind 501 00:24:32,080 --> 00:24:36,440 Speaker 4: of creates a little bit of an interesting mix the least. So, 502 00:24:37,200 --> 00:24:39,240 Speaker 4: but we're excited and I think a lot of us 503 00:24:39,280 --> 00:24:41,920 Speaker 4: are anxious to get back out there again. We just 504 00:24:42,000 --> 00:24:44,119 Speaker 4: started Phase two this week, so we're out there on 505 00:24:44,200 --> 00:24:48,320 Speaker 4: the field, but we're all separate right in our own 506 00:24:48,359 --> 00:24:49,520 Speaker 4: position groups and stuff. 507 00:24:50,760 --> 00:24:52,400 Speaker 3: But yeah, we're we're looking forward. 508 00:24:52,240 --> 00:24:54,120 Speaker 2: To it for sure. It can't be fun to block 509 00:24:54,240 --> 00:24:56,159 Speaker 2: now the matter be game Travis Jones though. 510 00:24:56,200 --> 00:25:01,600 Speaker 3: No, not at all, all our entire and it extends 511 00:25:01,720 --> 00:25:06,080 Speaker 3: beyond just them. Yeah, but man, does that get you better? Yeah? 512 00:25:06,600 --> 00:25:08,720 Speaker 4: I mean having to go through that obviously, when I 513 00:25:08,760 --> 00:25:11,560 Speaker 4: came out of the starting lineup last year, being with 514 00:25:11,640 --> 00:25:13,760 Speaker 4: the scout team, I was blocking those guys every day. 515 00:25:14,280 --> 00:25:17,919 Speaker 2: Yeah, that's probably that's probably why you I mean the. 516 00:25:18,240 --> 00:25:21,320 Speaker 4: Development, Yeah, exactly part of my development for sure, testament 517 00:25:21,440 --> 00:25:23,720 Speaker 4: to it. So then getting the opportunity to go back 518 00:25:23,760 --> 00:25:29,960 Speaker 4: out there against Cleveland week seventeen. Again my play I 519 00:25:30,040 --> 00:25:33,680 Speaker 4: felt like showed, uh that I developed and became a 520 00:25:33,720 --> 00:25:34,560 Speaker 4: better football player. 521 00:25:34,800 --> 00:25:37,800 Speaker 1: All right, last one for me is, you know every combine, 522 00:25:37,880 --> 00:25:41,080 Speaker 1: Now we bring back out the clip of you doing 523 00:25:41,119 --> 00:25:44,560 Speaker 1: the bench press with your the knee brace song, crutching 524 00:25:44,640 --> 00:25:48,359 Speaker 1: your way out there, you know for listeners who don't know, 525 00:25:49,119 --> 00:25:50,800 Speaker 1: and you put up the most bench press reps. 526 00:25:50,840 --> 00:25:51,399 Speaker 2: How many was it? 527 00:25:52,280 --> 00:25:52,920 Speaker 1: Thirties? 528 00:25:53,000 --> 00:25:53,800 Speaker 3: I think thirty eight? 529 00:25:54,080 --> 00:25:55,399 Speaker 2: Yeah, I was somewhere on them. 530 00:25:55,480 --> 00:25:59,840 Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, high thirties with a torn a cl and 531 00:26:00,040 --> 00:26:02,840 Speaker 1: the the embrace and everything. So the question is, since 532 00:26:02,840 --> 00:26:04,200 Speaker 1: you've been to the weight room a lot and you 533 00:26:04,320 --> 00:26:10,600 Speaker 1: do look bigger is Tyler, do you think without a 534 00:26:10,760 --> 00:26:13,800 Speaker 1: shred and knee yeah, you think you could even beat that? 535 00:26:14,000 --> 00:26:15,480 Speaker 1: Like what's your what's your bench press? 536 00:26:15,760 --> 00:26:18,200 Speaker 3: Live it? Yeah? I mean that that's such a unique. 537 00:26:19,520 --> 00:26:22,800 Speaker 4: Exercise that we do, and people have opinions on it 538 00:26:23,040 --> 00:26:25,000 Speaker 4: like why do we even do it at the combine, 539 00:26:25,080 --> 00:26:27,920 Speaker 4: like what what are we really measuring? And so it's 540 00:26:28,000 --> 00:26:30,320 Speaker 4: unique in a sense that, like, right, that's something that 541 00:26:30,400 --> 00:26:34,040 Speaker 4: we specifically focus on those couple of months that we 542 00:26:34,160 --> 00:26:37,240 Speaker 4: get the opportunity to train for the combine, so we 543 00:26:37,320 --> 00:26:40,719 Speaker 4: don't do stuff like that anymore. Definitely feel stronger than 544 00:26:40,760 --> 00:26:43,359 Speaker 4: I did back then. Who knows what I could do now, 545 00:26:43,920 --> 00:26:48,280 Speaker 4: Definitely feel like I could do more. But yeah, I 546 00:26:48,359 --> 00:26:51,439 Speaker 4: mean that, I mean, you know, that's a that's kind 547 00:26:51,480 --> 00:26:53,520 Speaker 4: of an old story. Yeah, not trying to beat a 548 00:26:53,560 --> 00:26:56,560 Speaker 4: dead horse. But learned a lot from that. It grew 549 00:26:56,600 --> 00:27:00,480 Speaker 4: as a football player, grew as a person more importantly. 550 00:27:02,320 --> 00:27:06,879 Speaker 4: But again it's just a thing I learned in college 551 00:27:06,960 --> 00:27:10,760 Speaker 4: or not learned. I guess heard in college. There's events 552 00:27:11,080 --> 00:27:16,000 Speaker 4: and responses to the events equals your outcome. We can't 553 00:27:16,080 --> 00:27:18,320 Speaker 4: change the events in our life, but we can change 554 00:27:18,359 --> 00:27:22,680 Speaker 4: our responses and that's going to dictate the outcome. So really, 555 00:27:22,720 --> 00:27:25,879 Speaker 4: at the end of the day, I saw my injury 556 00:27:25,880 --> 00:27:30,440 Speaker 4: as nothing more than an opportunity to learn, get better, 557 00:27:31,320 --> 00:27:34,240 Speaker 4: figure it out. And so, like I said, definitely felt 558 00:27:34,240 --> 00:27:37,600 Speaker 4: like I grew as a person and it was unfortunate 559 00:27:37,680 --> 00:27:41,240 Speaker 4: that it had to be there and then, but you know, 560 00:27:41,720 --> 00:27:43,240 Speaker 4: things all work out at the end of the day. 561 00:27:44,560 --> 00:27:46,760 Speaker 4: I'm grateful to be here. Probably won''t be here if 562 00:27:46,760 --> 00:27:48,560 Speaker 4: that wouldn't have happened. Who knows where I would have 563 00:27:48,680 --> 00:27:53,720 Speaker 4: ended up. So just thankful for everything that happens in life. 564 00:27:53,800 --> 00:27:56,479 Speaker 4: And you know, we'll see what happens next. Hopefully it's 565 00:27:56,560 --> 00:28:01,320 Speaker 4: nothing crazy like that. Every well, we'll figure it out. 566 00:28:01,440 --> 00:28:05,800 Speaker 4: And right like I said, every time those events come around, 567 00:28:05,920 --> 00:28:10,080 Speaker 4: we'll choose a great response and great outcomes will follow. 568 00:28:10,359 --> 00:28:10,760 Speaker 2: Awesome. 569 00:28:10,920 --> 00:28:12,920 Speaker 1: Well, I'm looking forward to a lot of great outcomes 570 00:28:12,960 --> 00:28:15,639 Speaker 1: this upcoming season beyond. Thank you so much, Andrew appreciate it. 571 00:28:15,720 --> 00:28:16,480 Speaker 5: Thank you, I appreciate it. 572 00:28:17,400 --> 00:28:19,359 Speaker 6: Welcome back into the last podcast we are coming to 573 00:28:19,359 --> 00:28:21,200 Speaker 6: you from the Sea Geek Studio. We want to mention 574 00:28:21,280 --> 00:28:23,479 Speaker 6: our partners at Draft King Sportsbook. They are an official 575 00:28:23,520 --> 00:28:26,840 Speaker 6: sports betting partner of the Baltimore Ravens Draft King Sportsbook. 576 00:28:26,840 --> 00:28:30,240 Speaker 6: The Crown is yours. So really enjoy sitting down with Andrew. 577 00:28:30,480 --> 00:28:33,960 Speaker 6: He's one of our favorite guys. Just really smart, hard 578 00:28:34,000 --> 00:28:37,680 Speaker 6: working guy. Love his attitude, his perspective, and just he's 579 00:28:37,680 --> 00:28:39,000 Speaker 6: a good player and a great guy. 580 00:28:39,200 --> 00:28:41,880 Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, good dude, And I'm really excited for what 581 00:28:42,040 --> 00:28:44,080 Speaker 1: could be in store for him in twenty twenty five. 582 00:28:44,160 --> 00:28:46,600 Speaker 1: I mean, you know, you think back and you're like, oh, well, 583 00:28:46,640 --> 00:28:50,120 Speaker 1: here's a seventh round pick, but really, he's not a 584 00:28:50,240 --> 00:28:52,200 Speaker 1: seventh round pick. I mean, the only reason he was 585 00:28:52,400 --> 00:28:55,560 Speaker 1: lasted that long was because of the ACL injury. He 586 00:28:55,600 --> 00:28:59,520 Speaker 1: would have gone who knows, third, fourth round. He would 587 00:28:59,520 --> 00:29:04,200 Speaker 1: have been a highly projected guy. So I look at 588 00:29:04,320 --> 00:29:07,040 Speaker 1: him still through that lens of here is a bona 589 00:29:07,120 --> 00:29:11,320 Speaker 1: fide dude from USC big body, got the work ethic, 590 00:29:11,520 --> 00:29:15,680 Speaker 1: got the great attitude, all those things, and now he's 591 00:29:15,720 --> 00:29:19,960 Speaker 1: really entering what's truly his second season. I think that 592 00:29:20,080 --> 00:29:22,240 Speaker 1: he could be one of the Ravens kind of big 593 00:29:22,520 --> 00:29:24,160 Speaker 1: surprise breakout players. 594 00:29:24,520 --> 00:29:24,720 Speaker 3: Yeah. 595 00:29:24,760 --> 00:29:27,320 Speaker 6: Look, we all last year thought that he had real 596 00:29:27,400 --> 00:29:29,920 Speaker 6: potential to be a starter on this offensive line, and 597 00:29:30,000 --> 00:29:32,080 Speaker 6: he was. As we talked about, he won the starting 598 00:29:32,160 --> 00:29:34,480 Speaker 6: left guard job at a training camp, and I think 599 00:29:34,520 --> 00:29:36,280 Speaker 6: he would have I think he would have remained the 600 00:29:36,280 --> 00:29:38,640 Speaker 6: starter all year had he not had the injury. And 601 00:29:38,720 --> 00:29:44,200 Speaker 6: then basically as we discussed it was, McCarry came in there, 602 00:29:44,280 --> 00:29:47,200 Speaker 6: Roger rosen Garten moved into at right tackle, and some 603 00:29:47,320 --> 00:29:49,800 Speaker 6: mccarrey switched position. It works, and then the offensive line 604 00:29:49,840 --> 00:29:51,800 Speaker 6: was playing well and they started rattling off a few minutes. 605 00:29:51,840 --> 00:29:54,680 Speaker 1: Well you have an eighty some yard Derrick Henry touchdown 606 00:29:54,760 --> 00:29:57,440 Speaker 1: run on the first touch with that new offensive line configuration. 607 00:29:57,520 --> 00:29:59,400 Speaker 2: You're like, you know what, maybe we'll stick with that, right, But. 608 00:29:59,440 --> 00:30:01,200 Speaker 6: I don't think it it was I think it had 609 00:30:01,280 --> 00:30:03,320 Speaker 6: more to do with the fact that this this new 610 00:30:03,400 --> 00:30:06,240 Speaker 6: group was playing so well and not really anything to 611 00:30:06,320 --> 00:30:08,640 Speaker 6: do with Andrew's play, you know. I think it's like 612 00:30:08,680 --> 00:30:13,320 Speaker 6: he was just he got hurt, and I think I think, like, 613 00:30:13,440 --> 00:30:15,959 Speaker 6: as we look at it now, this offensive line configuration, 614 00:30:16,400 --> 00:30:18,320 Speaker 6: I know it's gonna be a competition, nothing's gonna be 615 00:30:18,320 --> 00:30:20,280 Speaker 6: handed over, but I think that he's going to be 616 00:30:20,320 --> 00:30:21,840 Speaker 6: the starting left guard as way I look at it 617 00:30:21,960 --> 00:30:23,720 Speaker 6: right now, I think he's the odds on favorite for that. 618 00:30:24,040 --> 00:30:26,280 Speaker 6: And if he does end up in that position, I 619 00:30:26,360 --> 00:30:27,920 Speaker 6: think he's just gonna play well. I think he's gonna 620 00:30:27,920 --> 00:30:28,400 Speaker 6: be a good player. 621 00:30:28,680 --> 00:30:32,560 Speaker 1: Well, the team kind of signaled that with their moves 622 00:30:32,600 --> 00:30:35,160 Speaker 1: this offseason, right They they haven't gone out and gotten 623 00:30:35,200 --> 00:30:38,720 Speaker 1: a veteran guard to compete with Andrew Voor. He's not 624 00:30:38,840 --> 00:30:41,600 Speaker 1: yet and maybe they still could at some point, right, 625 00:30:41,760 --> 00:30:45,680 Speaker 1: but you know, they re signed benk Cleveland, who Andrew 626 00:30:45,760 --> 00:30:48,680 Speaker 1: beat out for the job last year, and then they 627 00:30:48,880 --> 00:30:51,520 Speaker 1: drafted Emory Jones Junior in the third round. But he 628 00:30:51,640 --> 00:30:54,880 Speaker 1: has a laboram issue right now, so he might not 629 00:30:55,040 --> 00:30:57,880 Speaker 1: be on the field until training camp. So you know, 630 00:30:58,040 --> 00:30:59,480 Speaker 1: Emory was a player that I think a lot of 631 00:30:59,560 --> 00:31:01,480 Speaker 1: us looked at and said, all right, here's the competition 632 00:31:01,640 --> 00:31:03,560 Speaker 1: for four. He's well, he's going to be late to 633 00:31:03,640 --> 00:31:08,160 Speaker 1: that competition. And uh, you know, maybe Emery develops and 634 00:31:08,360 --> 00:31:11,719 Speaker 1: and eventually becomes that guy. But and Boor, he's going 635 00:31:11,800 --> 00:31:14,200 Speaker 1: to try to do to Emory Jones what Patrick McCay 636 00:31:14,240 --> 00:31:16,760 Speaker 1: did to him, you know, and Boor he's just gonna 637 00:31:17,080 --> 00:31:19,600 Speaker 1: be like, I want to win that starting job, and 638 00:31:19,680 --> 00:31:22,080 Speaker 1: if I play well enough, if I play great, then 639 00:31:23,080 --> 00:31:25,600 Speaker 1: Emory's gonna have to wait. Yeah, you know, and so 640 00:31:26,160 --> 00:31:29,480 Speaker 1: and he's Andrew's certainly capable of doing that, and so 641 00:31:30,200 --> 00:31:33,680 Speaker 1: you know, and then they the Ravens signed Joe Noteboom, 642 00:31:33,720 --> 00:31:37,720 Speaker 1: who's tackle really more than a guard. So the path 643 00:31:37,880 --> 00:31:40,200 Speaker 1: is there for Andrew and and I think that he 644 00:31:40,360 --> 00:31:42,600 Speaker 1: has all the ability to capture. 645 00:31:42,840 --> 00:31:44,640 Speaker 6: And it's just interesting because like when you compare it 646 00:31:44,680 --> 00:31:46,880 Speaker 6: to a year ago, like there was all concern about 647 00:31:46,880 --> 00:31:50,000 Speaker 6: the offensive line, understandably so when you're having to replace 648 00:31:50,080 --> 00:31:52,920 Speaker 6: three starters, but now you're bringing back four out of 649 00:31:52,960 --> 00:31:55,440 Speaker 6: five starters, and you could even make the argument that 650 00:31:55,520 --> 00:31:57,640 Speaker 6: it's all five at least from the start of it, 651 00:31:57,800 --> 00:31:59,280 Speaker 6: you know, when you when you look at it on 652 00:31:59,360 --> 00:32:02,479 Speaker 6: the on the whole. Yeah, I understand McCarey getting got 653 00:32:02,640 --> 00:32:05,560 Speaker 6: that nice contract, and so I'm cherry picking a little 654 00:32:05,560 --> 00:32:07,800 Speaker 6: bit if I say all five, but like you. 655 00:32:07,840 --> 00:32:10,280 Speaker 1: Have guys who may you have five guys who started 656 00:32:10,360 --> 00:32:12,920 Speaker 1: games last year where he started the first three exactly, 657 00:32:13,120 --> 00:32:15,040 Speaker 1: Rose and Garden started the last whatever. 658 00:32:15,080 --> 00:32:18,160 Speaker 6: I was fourteen, right, So I think that, like, I 659 00:32:18,320 --> 00:32:21,320 Speaker 6: actually look at this offensive line and I'm like, could 660 00:32:21,360 --> 00:32:24,240 Speaker 6: this be a real strength of the team, Like compared 661 00:32:24,280 --> 00:32:26,760 Speaker 6: to a year ago when it was what's this line 662 00:32:26,800 --> 00:32:28,280 Speaker 6: going to look like? Is it gonna be okay? And 663 00:32:28,400 --> 00:32:31,240 Speaker 6: these guys gonna how's Ronnie gonna come back? And how's 664 00:32:31,800 --> 00:32:32,360 Speaker 6: all this stuff? 665 00:32:32,480 --> 00:32:35,440 Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean I think, you know, obviously Ronnie has 666 00:32:35,520 --> 00:32:37,600 Speaker 1: to stay healthy again just like he did last year 667 00:32:37,600 --> 00:32:39,480 Speaker 1: and he proved himself, and I you know, I think 668 00:32:39,600 --> 00:32:44,120 Speaker 1: he will. He's certainly putting in the work to physically 669 00:32:44,360 --> 00:32:47,320 Speaker 1: to stay healthy. We just got done talking about before. 670 00:32:47,360 --> 00:32:49,360 Speaker 1: He's in the potential that he has. I mean, right now, 671 00:32:49,440 --> 00:32:52,320 Speaker 1: he's probably the biggest question mark on the line just 672 00:32:52,400 --> 00:32:55,560 Speaker 1: because he has the least experience, but feel pretty darn 673 00:32:55,600 --> 00:32:57,520 Speaker 1: good coming out of this conversation and before we had 674 00:32:57,560 --> 00:33:00,320 Speaker 1: this conversation about his ability to do the job's Tyer 675 00:33:00,360 --> 00:33:03,120 Speaker 1: Lennenbraum's a pro bowler. Daniel Filelly has got to continue 676 00:33:03,160 --> 00:33:06,720 Speaker 1: to progress, you know. I mean, certainly from where he 677 00:33:06,800 --> 00:33:09,400 Speaker 1: started last season to where he finished, he was a 678 00:33:09,480 --> 00:33:12,600 Speaker 1: much better player, and he did some things really really well, 679 00:33:12,640 --> 00:33:15,440 Speaker 1: and he's got to continue to develop and grow his game, 680 00:33:15,560 --> 00:33:17,280 Speaker 1: and I think he's only going to get better. He's 681 00:33:17,280 --> 00:33:20,800 Speaker 1: another hard working guy and who got a ton of 682 00:33:20,880 --> 00:33:21,800 Speaker 1: experience last year. 683 00:33:22,080 --> 00:33:25,560 Speaker 2: And then Roger Rosengarten was awesome. That's a rookie. What 684 00:33:25,760 --> 00:33:27,760 Speaker 2: strides can he make? What jumps can he make? In 685 00:33:27,920 --> 00:33:29,520 Speaker 2: year two? So I agree with you. 686 00:33:29,640 --> 00:33:30,080 Speaker 3: I think that. 687 00:33:31,560 --> 00:33:35,840 Speaker 1: What was originally the biggest worry going into last season 688 00:33:36,640 --> 00:33:38,800 Speaker 1: is not nearly as worries some going into this year 689 00:33:38,800 --> 00:33:40,400 Speaker 1: and could turn out to be a real strength the 690 00:33:40,440 --> 00:33:41,520 Speaker 1: way it finished last year. 691 00:33:41,440 --> 00:33:42,720 Speaker 6: Right, and if it plays out the way that you 692 00:33:42,880 --> 00:33:45,120 Speaker 6: just described, where this offensive line just builds off of 693 00:33:45,160 --> 00:33:48,800 Speaker 6: what it did last year and plays well. Man, you 694 00:33:48,840 --> 00:33:51,040 Speaker 6: look at this offense and there's like there's no holes. 695 00:33:51,160 --> 00:33:53,520 Speaker 6: There's no holes on the offense, and the offense was 696 00:33:53,680 --> 00:33:57,480 Speaker 6: historically good last year, but it's like, where could this 697 00:33:57,520 --> 00:33:58,440 Speaker 6: thing even go from here? 698 00:33:58,600 --> 00:34:01,120 Speaker 2: If what you just lay it's gonna stay healthy. I 699 00:34:01,160 --> 00:34:03,120 Speaker 2: think that's that's the key, That's the big thing, you know. 700 00:34:03,280 --> 00:34:06,680 Speaker 1: Voorhees was really kind of one of the bigger injuries 701 00:34:06,720 --> 00:34:09,360 Speaker 1: on offense than Zay going down late late in the 702 00:34:09,480 --> 00:34:13,879 Speaker 1: year in the right right at the end. But other 703 00:34:13,960 --> 00:34:15,680 Speaker 1: than that, I mean, the offensive line was healthy all 704 00:34:15,760 --> 00:34:18,279 Speaker 1: season long, which is very rare. K not what that 705 00:34:18,360 --> 00:34:22,160 Speaker 1: can happen? Again, that was that was major that the 706 00:34:22,239 --> 00:34:24,160 Speaker 1: Ravens were healthy on offense. 707 00:34:24,280 --> 00:34:24,480 Speaker 5: Yeah. 708 00:34:24,719 --> 00:34:26,239 Speaker 6: Well the other thing too is we look at the 709 00:34:26,280 --> 00:34:30,279 Speaker 6: offensive line beyond the five likely starters, like when they 710 00:34:30,320 --> 00:34:32,400 Speaker 6: get out there, when all the rookies get integrated with 711 00:34:32,680 --> 00:34:34,960 Speaker 6: the veterans here over the course of the next couple 712 00:34:35,000 --> 00:34:36,800 Speaker 6: of weeks in practice, like that offensive line group is 713 00:34:36,800 --> 00:34:39,520 Speaker 6: basically got a double because they drafted three rookies. They 714 00:34:39,600 --> 00:34:42,680 Speaker 6: drafted Emery Jones, they drafted Garrett Dellinger, and they drafted 715 00:34:42,719 --> 00:34:45,759 Speaker 6: Carson Vincent and so all those guys are going to 716 00:34:45,840 --> 00:34:49,520 Speaker 6: come into the mix there and I think I think Carson, 717 00:34:49,600 --> 00:34:54,080 Speaker 6: Vincent and Dellinger are more developmental, especially Vincent as a 718 00:34:54,120 --> 00:34:55,919 Speaker 6: tackle like a little bit more developmental. 719 00:34:56,320 --> 00:34:57,839 Speaker 2: Dellinger is an LSU starter. 720 00:34:57,960 --> 00:35:00,399 Speaker 1: I think he's more he's a depth piece for now 721 00:35:00,800 --> 00:35:03,520 Speaker 1: and developing CV and become a starter later on. 722 00:35:03,640 --> 00:35:04,640 Speaker 2: He'd seventh round pick. 723 00:35:04,600 --> 00:35:06,879 Speaker 5: Just like you know Andrew Vorries, right, And so that's 724 00:35:07,000 --> 00:35:08,080 Speaker 5: that's eight guys right there. 725 00:35:08,440 --> 00:35:10,279 Speaker 6: Then you add in Bank Cleveland who you mentioned, and 726 00:35:10,880 --> 00:35:12,799 Speaker 6: Nick Samak as well, who was a late round pick 727 00:35:12,880 --> 00:35:15,080 Speaker 6: last year backup center, can also mix in at guard. 728 00:35:15,280 --> 00:35:17,440 Speaker 6: He's another guy who's in that mix too. And so, 729 00:35:17,680 --> 00:35:21,719 Speaker 6: like you know, there's a competition, like not just for 730 00:35:21,840 --> 00:35:24,120 Speaker 6: the starting jobs, but competition to make the team is 731 00:35:24,160 --> 00:35:26,399 Speaker 6: going to be really tough. Neck this, I mean, that's 732 00:35:26,400 --> 00:35:28,120 Speaker 6: gonna be one of the as I look at it 733 00:35:28,200 --> 00:35:29,920 Speaker 6: right now, I think one of the biggest battles of 734 00:35:30,000 --> 00:35:32,760 Speaker 6: training camp is the spots for the competition for roster 735 00:35:32,920 --> 00:35:34,239 Speaker 6: spots on the offensive line. 736 00:35:34,400 --> 00:35:36,680 Speaker 1: Yeah, then you have some guys who are coming back 737 00:35:36,680 --> 00:35:39,880 Speaker 1: from the practice squad, Corey Bullock and other guys like that. 738 00:35:40,160 --> 00:35:42,080 Speaker 2: I mean, I agree, I think and. 739 00:35:42,800 --> 00:35:45,520 Speaker 5: Joe Noteboom as well in that mix as well. You 740 00:35:45,640 --> 00:35:46,080 Speaker 5: mentioned him. 741 00:35:46,120 --> 00:35:50,239 Speaker 1: But like we have Ronnie Stanley, Andrew Voorhies, Tyler Linderbaum, 742 00:35:50,400 --> 00:35:53,800 Speaker 1: Daniel foul Roger Roseengard. There's what you would project is 743 00:35:53,840 --> 00:35:57,200 Speaker 1: the starting five right now. Note Boom's your number six 744 00:35:57,320 --> 00:36:03,920 Speaker 1: swing tackle. Your backup guards would Ben Cleveland and Dellinger 745 00:36:04,360 --> 00:36:08,360 Speaker 1: and Emory Jones and Emory Jones, and then Vincent makes ten. 746 00:36:08,719 --> 00:36:12,400 Speaker 5: Right, and then Nick Samak is a backup guard. 747 00:36:12,600 --> 00:36:13,080 Speaker 2: Eleven. 748 00:36:13,400 --> 00:36:15,759 Speaker 6: Yeah, so that's eleven guys right there. And I don't 749 00:36:15,760 --> 00:36:19,120 Speaker 6: think they're gonna have eleven spots for offensive linemen on 750 00:36:19,200 --> 00:36:20,719 Speaker 6: this team. I don't know how many they're going to 751 00:36:20,760 --> 00:36:22,520 Speaker 6: have exactly, but eleven. 752 00:36:22,320 --> 00:36:24,880 Speaker 1: You're probably looking at it coming down to a Dellinger 753 00:36:25,040 --> 00:36:30,200 Speaker 1: versus sam Ac versus Cleveland versus Cleveland competition. 754 00:36:30,480 --> 00:36:31,319 Speaker 5: Yeah, and and of. 755 00:36:31,360 --> 00:36:33,480 Speaker 6: Course all this is you got to stay healthy and 756 00:36:33,480 --> 00:36:34,880 Speaker 6: all this stuff. You know, there's a lot of like 757 00:36:35,200 --> 00:36:37,000 Speaker 6: caveats that you got to throw out here, and there's 758 00:36:37,000 --> 00:36:38,040 Speaker 6: a lot of time between now and. 759 00:36:38,040 --> 00:36:40,560 Speaker 1: The Can Dellinger take snaps? Would surprise me if we 760 00:36:40,640 --> 00:36:42,320 Speaker 1: see him taking some snaps this summer. 761 00:36:42,480 --> 00:36:44,440 Speaker 6: They look at all that, you know, and also like 762 00:36:44,560 --> 00:36:47,839 Speaker 6: they look at okay, Emory Jones. Emory Jones, remember now 763 00:36:48,000 --> 00:36:51,759 Speaker 6: was a tackle in college, but he likely projects as 764 00:36:51,920 --> 00:36:54,040 Speaker 6: a guard. Where is he taking the majority of his snaps? 765 00:36:54,080 --> 00:36:57,040 Speaker 6: Like when he gets out there and once he's healthy, 766 00:36:57,520 --> 00:36:59,160 Speaker 6: I mean that's a tough assignment. You got to get 767 00:36:59,200 --> 00:37:01,279 Speaker 6: healthy then you make the jump to the NFL, just 768 00:37:01,320 --> 00:37:03,760 Speaker 6: like we talked about with Andrew, and you're changing positions 769 00:37:03,800 --> 00:37:05,399 Speaker 6: like those are tough things. So like when he gets 770 00:37:05,440 --> 00:37:08,040 Speaker 6: out there in training camp, what position is you playing? 771 00:37:08,160 --> 00:37:10,520 Speaker 6: Left guard, right guard, right tackle? Like where's you playing? 772 00:37:10,600 --> 00:37:12,840 Speaker 6: All that stuff is going to be interesting to watch it. 773 00:37:13,040 --> 00:37:15,000 Speaker 6: And I and again, I think that the offensive line 774 00:37:15,080 --> 00:37:17,640 Speaker 6: is probably going to be one of the most contested 775 00:37:18,840 --> 00:37:20,879 Speaker 6: battles to make the fifty three. 776 00:37:21,320 --> 00:37:24,280 Speaker 2: Yeah, I would agree with that anyway.
