1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:04,280
Speaker 1: What's up everyone. Uh, yeah, I missed y'all a lot.

2
00:00:04,360 --> 00:00:07,200
Speaker 1: You know, I'm thankful for you guys. Thanksgiving right there,

3
00:00:07,200 --> 00:00:09,520
Speaker 1: you go, guys. You guys get told that a lot,

4
00:00:10,440 --> 00:00:15,480
Speaker 1: huh by your kids. Really that's good. I don't know

5
00:00:15,480 --> 00:00:18,040
Speaker 1: if I told my parents enough when I was young,

6
00:00:18,079 --> 00:00:20,959
Speaker 1: how much I appreciate them. I didn't. Probably didn't appreciate

7
00:00:21,000 --> 00:00:26,040
Speaker 1: them enough until I became a parent. So I ah, man,

8
00:00:26,200 --> 00:00:29,600
Speaker 1: we were here. You know, I'm a I'm a homebody.

9
00:00:31,680 --> 00:00:35,120
Speaker 1: You know. I was able to go hunting a little bit,

10
00:00:35,159 --> 00:00:38,239
Speaker 1: so I did that, took my wife to dinner. The

11
00:00:38,320 --> 00:00:42,159
Speaker 1: place in Boston was pretty good. Don't get up there

12
00:00:42,200 --> 00:00:46,159
Speaker 1: that much anymore, and so you know it's good. Uh

13
00:00:46,800 --> 00:00:49,600
Speaker 1: just kind of try to make up for you know,

14
00:00:49,880 --> 00:00:52,199
Speaker 1: being away for the less. You know, get up with

15
00:00:52,400 --> 00:00:55,080
Speaker 1: get up with Ford, you know, try to be a

16
00:00:55,480 --> 00:01:02,960
Speaker 1: out of the year in two days with you said

17
00:01:03,040 --> 00:01:05,080
Speaker 1: last week, if I remember right, you can't do anything

18
00:01:05,080 --> 00:01:07,720
Speaker 1: about what's happened in the past. Ahead. How much of

19
00:01:08,120 --> 00:01:11,399
Speaker 1: this game against the jacket says that opportunity to sort

20
00:01:11,440 --> 00:01:14,640
Speaker 1: of things? Yeah, definitely, you know, I think and you know,

21
00:01:14,760 --> 00:01:18,880
Speaker 1: good opponent, really good defense. You know a lot of

22
00:01:18,880 --> 00:01:21,319
Speaker 1: good players with you know, mixed with the scheme. So

23
00:01:22,520 --> 00:01:26,280
Speaker 1: it's a game where you try to prepare, uh, you know,

24
00:01:26,440 --> 00:01:28,760
Speaker 1: but at the same time, you know they can show

25
00:01:28,959 --> 00:01:31,200
Speaker 1: if you go and watch the tape, there's you know,

26
00:01:31,240 --> 00:01:32,960
Speaker 1: it's kind of the flavor of the week on what

27
00:01:32,959 --> 00:01:34,920
Speaker 1: they want to do. Uh. So you have to be

28
00:01:34,920 --> 00:01:37,800
Speaker 1: prepared to block your rules. You know. Obviously they're not

29
00:01:37,800 --> 00:01:39,679
Speaker 1: going to reinvent the wheel and you know weak or

30
00:01:39,680 --> 00:01:41,959
Speaker 1: anything like that, and they have things they like to do.

31
00:01:42,040 --> 00:01:45,600
Speaker 1: But you know, they got really good players, you know,

32
00:01:45,760 --> 00:01:48,120
Speaker 1: that are disruptive. They turned the Bowl over a lot,

33
00:01:48,840 --> 00:01:51,000
Speaker 1: you know, so offensively. It'll be a big challenge for us.

34
00:01:54,600 --> 00:01:58,160
Speaker 1: What do you recollection is being around your personality and

35
00:01:58,200 --> 00:02:07,920
Speaker 1: the seas? Yeah, yeah, you know, I think, yeah, I

36
00:02:08,080 --> 00:02:11,000
Speaker 1: didn't really know the history of you know, his whole

37
00:02:11,040 --> 00:02:13,239
Speaker 1: coaching career when I first got in the league. Obviously

38
00:02:13,360 --> 00:02:17,160
Speaker 1: was our tight end coach, and you know, learning more

39
00:02:17,160 --> 00:02:19,560
Speaker 1: about him and all the things and success he's had

40
00:02:19,760 --> 00:02:22,080
Speaker 1: and you know, really done you know a lot of

41
00:02:22,120 --> 00:02:25,880
Speaker 1: different things and coach at the college level obviously, you know,

42
00:02:27,400 --> 00:02:29,799
Speaker 1: coach of Buffalo. You know, the Browns all over right,

43
00:02:29,960 --> 00:02:33,000
Speaker 1: Michigan State was saving and all that, so I kind

44
00:02:33,000 --> 00:02:35,760
Speaker 1: of interested in all that stuff and kind of you know,

45
00:02:36,680 --> 00:02:38,560
Speaker 1: people get their starts and different things like that. I

46
00:02:38,600 --> 00:02:40,640
Speaker 1: think that's interesting. So, you know, I think he's a

47
00:02:40,639 --> 00:02:44,280
Speaker 1: really good football coach. Uh. It's very passionate. I remember

48
00:02:44,280 --> 00:02:48,120
Speaker 1: that from my time here. You know, you can get

49
00:02:48,160 --> 00:02:51,200
Speaker 1: fiery and things like that, which you know you appreciate,

50
00:02:51,440 --> 00:02:55,080
Speaker 1: and you know, I think that's something you know, you

51
00:02:55,160 --> 00:02:58,400
Speaker 1: still see seeing his team. They're competitive, they play hard,

52
00:02:59,120 --> 00:03:01,280
Speaker 1: you know, and I think instively he does a great job.

53
00:03:02,720 --> 00:03:08,200
Speaker 1: So I think that's kind of stable Jue Lying and

54
00:03:08,440 --> 00:03:12,040
Speaker 1: Bill Belichick or kind of stepped out for you know,

55
00:03:12,760 --> 00:03:17,239
Speaker 1: what's the most important full league those two. Yeah. I mean, look,

56
00:03:17,280 --> 00:03:19,880
Speaker 1: you know I've had a you know, obviously good relationship

57
00:03:19,919 --> 00:03:22,760
Speaker 1: with coach for a long time, and uh yeah, I

58
00:03:22,800 --> 00:03:26,840
Speaker 1: think you know, he's doing everything he can to try to,

59
00:03:26,880 --> 00:03:29,160
Speaker 1: you know, help our football team and make us play better.

60
00:03:29,240 --> 00:03:33,519
Speaker 1: And obviously we got to do better up front, you know,

61
00:03:33,639 --> 00:03:35,360
Speaker 1: but it's just part of it, you know. I think

62
00:03:35,440 --> 00:03:41,160
Speaker 1: it's always yeah, yeah, we you know, we have Billy.

63
00:03:41,200 --> 00:03:44,320
Speaker 1: Billy does a great job for us, you know, and

64
00:03:44,360 --> 00:03:49,280
Speaker 1: I think you know everyone else, right that's just yeah,

65
00:03:49,880 --> 00:03:51,960
Speaker 1: coaches trying to do whatever he can to help our

66
00:03:51,960 --> 00:03:54,240
Speaker 1: football team. And I think that's you know, he's always

67
00:03:54,320 --> 00:03:57,480
Speaker 1: done that with whatever role he seems necessary. And rightnown

68
00:03:57,480 --> 00:04:02,640
Speaker 1: it's us the first player building Warrens. How much of

69
00:04:03,240 --> 00:04:05,720
Speaker 1: the run game starts with we gotta finance and get

70
00:04:05,720 --> 00:04:08,080
Speaker 1: a good double. Yeah, I think honestly though, I think

71
00:04:08,120 --> 00:04:10,760
Speaker 1: it's you're right, one hundred percent in the run game.

72
00:04:10,760 --> 00:04:12,520
Speaker 1: But he's really a three down player when you look

73
00:04:12,520 --> 00:04:14,080
Speaker 1: at it, and I think he does a great job,

74
00:04:14,480 --> 00:04:17,479
Speaker 1: you know, in all aspects of the game being disruptive.

75
00:04:18,200 --> 00:04:20,280
Speaker 1: He's not just a you know, first and second down

76
00:04:20,279 --> 00:04:23,040
Speaker 1: player run player. You know, he's in there on almost

77
00:04:23,040 --> 00:04:25,440
Speaker 1: all the third down. So he's a really good player.

78
00:04:25,880 --> 00:04:28,680
Speaker 1: You know, it was big physical, can rush the past

79
00:04:28,760 --> 00:04:31,640
Speaker 1: or stop the run. You know. I think anytime playing

80
00:04:31,680 --> 00:04:33,880
Speaker 1: someone like that, you know, you definitely just want to

81
00:04:34,400 --> 00:04:36,120
Speaker 1: you want to try not let them wreck the game,

82
00:04:36,200 --> 00:04:41,680
Speaker 1: right and understand you know, his strengths, his weaknesses. So yeah,

83
00:04:41,760 --> 00:04:44,040
Speaker 1: he's a really good player. One of the highest played players,

84
00:04:44,040 --> 00:04:46,600
Speaker 1: first round draft picks, so you know, living up to

85
00:04:46,640 --> 00:04:49,160
Speaker 1: all that. You guys play against the big people on

86
00:04:49,320 --> 00:04:57,920
Speaker 1: the outside the sounds, and he had he's Dallas Washington

87
00:04:58,520 --> 00:05:06,919
Speaker 1: Billy Giants term physical makeup that. Yeah, I mean, you know,

88
00:05:06,960 --> 00:05:10,760
Speaker 1: we don't play in that division. So I'm sure there's

89
00:05:10,760 --> 00:05:13,760
Speaker 1: probably some analytics somewhere about how divisions are made up.

90
00:05:14,120 --> 00:05:17,520
Speaker 1: I think personally, like everyone talks about the SEC SEC

91
00:05:17,680 --> 00:05:19,400
Speaker 1: and it is the best brand of football, don't get

92
00:05:19,400 --> 00:05:22,559
Speaker 1: me wrong. So but you know, I mean you're talking

93
00:05:22,600 --> 00:05:25,400
Speaker 1: about now, you know, in the NFL, and I think

94
00:05:25,400 --> 00:05:28,400
Speaker 1: when you're college lineman and you play, you know, all right,

95
00:05:29,080 --> 00:05:31,800
Speaker 1: you have this really good guy at Florida, and then

96
00:05:31,800 --> 00:05:33,880
Speaker 1: you kind of have good players all the way plays

97
00:05:34,240 --> 00:05:37,480
Speaker 1: maybe a great player at Alabama, right, Like you know,

98
00:05:38,360 --> 00:05:40,560
Speaker 1: in the NFL, it's every week, every week has a

99
00:05:40,600 --> 00:05:44,599
Speaker 1: great d lineman, you know, some have multiple, you know,

100
00:05:44,720 --> 00:05:46,880
Speaker 1: So it's just as part of the NFL. It's what

101
00:05:47,040 --> 00:05:50,760
Speaker 1: makes the league fun competitive, you know, And I think

102
00:05:51,360 --> 00:05:53,720
Speaker 1: that's kind of the I think my major difference. Everyone

103
00:05:53,800 --> 00:05:57,480
Speaker 1: talks about like SEC SEC and it's true. But at

104
00:05:57,480 --> 00:06:00,480
Speaker 1: the same time, I think, you know, yeah, I kind

105
00:06:00,480 --> 00:06:02,240
Speaker 1: of seen that, like, right, who play Florida And I

106
00:06:02,279 --> 00:06:04,720
Speaker 1: forget who the two guys they had, but I think

107
00:06:04,720 --> 00:06:07,680
Speaker 1: that it was easily and then the other guy was

108
00:06:07,720 --> 00:06:09,680
Speaker 1: another first round draft pick. I think he wore number

109
00:06:09,720 --> 00:06:12,359
Speaker 1: seventy three, but like, yeah, and then like maybe the

110
00:06:12,400 --> 00:06:14,440
Speaker 1: next week, you're playing some good guys, but they're not

111
00:06:14,600 --> 00:06:17,400
Speaker 1: two first round draft picks. So you know, you see

112
00:06:17,400 --> 00:06:20,200
Speaker 1: that in the NFL, everyone's really good and they probably

113
00:06:20,240 --> 00:06:22,760
Speaker 1: have a first round draft pick somewhere. It is the

114
00:06:23,240 --> 00:06:25,920
Speaker 1: captain in the center. Have you been informed? And they've

115
00:06:25,920 --> 00:06:29,320
Speaker 1: been snapping too this week? I mean, look, actually I

116
00:06:29,360 --> 00:06:31,800
Speaker 1: snapped to all the quarterbacks, worked with them all week

117
00:06:31,800 --> 00:06:33,960
Speaker 1: because you never know what's going to happen during the week, right,

118
00:06:34,680 --> 00:06:37,440
Speaker 1: people get sick, something happens, someone gets hurt, you know,

119
00:06:38,279 --> 00:06:40,640
Speaker 1: family emergency, right, you have to be prepared, no matter

120
00:06:40,680 --> 00:06:43,479
Speaker 1: what I think, if you're not playing. I've been in

121
00:06:43,520 --> 00:06:46,080
Speaker 1: that role before where you know I was not playing

122
00:06:46,080 --> 00:06:49,760
Speaker 1: and you know, maybe I was getting a certain reps

123
00:06:49,760 --> 00:06:51,200
Speaker 1: and then you know, the second drive of the game

124
00:06:51,200 --> 00:06:55,200
Speaker 1: and getting thrown in. Played the Jets twenty fifteen, I

125
00:06:55,200 --> 00:06:56,760
Speaker 1: get thrown in on the last drive of the game.

126
00:06:56,800 --> 00:06:59,159
Speaker 1: I hadn't played the whole game and they threw me

127
00:06:59,200 --> 00:07:00,560
Speaker 1: in there. So like you know or know when your

128
00:07:00,560 --> 00:07:03,120
Speaker 1: opportunities are going to going to happen. And it wasn't

129
00:07:03,120 --> 00:07:04,479
Speaker 1: like I got a ton of reps with you know,

130
00:07:04,480 --> 00:07:07,240
Speaker 1: those guys in practice that week, so you know, you

131
00:07:07,320 --> 00:07:09,360
Speaker 1: just got to take advantage of every rep. But you know,

132
00:07:09,400 --> 00:07:11,960
Speaker 1: I work with all the quarterbacks just in case something

133
00:07:11,960 --> 00:07:15,440
Speaker 1: ever does. I was curious, does does your job change?

134
00:07:15,520 --> 00:07:18,720
Speaker 1: Like you've played a multiple different starting quarterbacks, does anything

135
00:07:18,720 --> 00:07:21,240
Speaker 1: you do change? I don't think. So. I try to

136
00:07:21,240 --> 00:07:24,360
Speaker 1: be consistent, you know, the same change in guards tackles,

137
00:07:24,440 --> 00:07:27,400
Speaker 1: right Like, yeah, I think you just try to be

138
00:07:27,440 --> 00:07:31,360
Speaker 1: consistent and you know, bring whoever you're playing with, you know,

139
00:07:31,640 --> 00:07:35,440
Speaker 1: to that level of play. And but I think there's

140
00:07:35,480 --> 00:07:38,840
Speaker 1: no change. You don't want to try to do something

141
00:07:38,880 --> 00:07:41,680
Speaker 1: completely different. I snapped the ball, you know, the same

142
00:07:41,720 --> 00:07:44,600
Speaker 1: way that I was told to snap it my rookie year.

143
00:07:44,680 --> 00:07:49,000
Speaker 1: So that's what I tried to do. Ahead, you guys

144
00:07:48,960 --> 00:07:51,880
Speaker 1: are really well against the against the Commanders. We give

145
00:07:51,920 --> 00:07:53,880
Speaker 1: up the five sacks in the first half. So what

146
00:07:53,920 --> 00:07:55,680
Speaker 1: can you carry over in terms of the run game

147
00:07:55,720 --> 00:07:57,800
Speaker 1: this week? And what can maybe tighten up in terms

148
00:07:57,800 --> 00:07:59,520
Speaker 1: of pass protection? I mean, look, I think you know

149
00:08:00,000 --> 00:08:03,160
Speaker 1: you gotta do a great job just you know, finishing

150
00:08:03,320 --> 00:08:05,560
Speaker 1: right effort. Run game comes down to a lot of that,

151
00:08:05,640 --> 00:08:09,720
Speaker 1: right Like, it's not you know, crazy schemes and different

152
00:08:09,720 --> 00:08:12,040
Speaker 1: things like that and gammicks. It's more, you know, coming

153
00:08:12,080 --> 00:08:15,320
Speaker 1: down to effort, finished, toughness in the past game. You know,

154
00:08:15,720 --> 00:08:18,680
Speaker 1: you just got to do a better job, right, Yeah,

155
00:08:18,720 --> 00:08:22,000
Speaker 1: it's unexcusable. You can't have that, you know, And like

156
00:08:22,040 --> 00:08:25,440
Speaker 1: I said, every week there's good rushers, So you just

157
00:08:25,480 --> 00:08:29,240
Speaker 1: have to be beyond your your your best game at

158
00:08:29,280 --> 00:08:33,160
Speaker 1: your best moments, and you know, really like you just

159
00:08:33,160 --> 00:08:36,000
Speaker 1: want to try to fight and fight and it's not

160
00:08:36,000 --> 00:08:37,720
Speaker 1: gonna be perfect all the time, but just you gotta

161
00:08:37,720 --> 00:08:42,679
Speaker 1: have good effort and fight. That was good answer there.

162
00:08:42,679 --> 00:08:46,959
Speaker 1: It was seventy three last five six weeks. You guys

163
00:08:47,000 --> 00:08:51,360
Speaker 1: are top five recording to the seven metrics especial a

164
00:08:51,400 --> 00:08:55,160
Speaker 1: lot of metrics. Huh, how do you explain it? I know,

165
00:08:55,240 --> 00:08:57,160
Speaker 1: community goes into it. You've got a couple of good

166
00:08:57,200 --> 00:09:00,240
Speaker 1: backs there. Beyond that, how do you play? You know,

167
00:09:00,280 --> 00:09:03,160
Speaker 1: I think, like you said, good backs, Like I said,

168
00:09:03,280 --> 00:09:07,440
Speaker 1: I think a lot of it just goes down to effort, finish,

169
00:09:08,040 --> 00:09:12,640
Speaker 1: you know, understanding. Maybe guys are getting experienced continuity. There's

170
00:09:12,640 --> 00:09:16,160
Speaker 1: a lot that goes into it, you know, But I

171
00:09:16,200 --> 00:09:18,480
Speaker 1: just think at the end of the day, the running game.

172
00:09:19,280 --> 00:09:21,720
Speaker 1: You know, technique, all that, all that comes, but like,

173
00:09:22,440 --> 00:09:26,120
Speaker 1: all right, you got a guy falling off trying to

174
00:09:26,120 --> 00:09:27,920
Speaker 1: make a tackle, right, you're going to try to drive

175
00:09:27,920 --> 00:09:29,959
Speaker 1: her feet and finish him. And now it's a gain

176
00:09:30,000 --> 00:09:31,920
Speaker 1: of four versus again of two, and like that's not

177
00:09:31,960 --> 00:09:33,920
Speaker 1: a big stat but you know, at the end of

178
00:09:33,960 --> 00:09:36,040
Speaker 1: the day, you know, that's what it comes down to

179
00:09:36,040 --> 00:09:39,120
Speaker 1: a lot of times, you know, understanding the concept of plays,

180
00:09:39,240 --> 00:09:43,000
Speaker 1: understanding you know where we're trying to go, and like

181
00:09:43,160 --> 00:09:45,480
Speaker 1: maybe it looks like on something on paper, but it's

182
00:09:45,480 --> 00:09:48,320
Speaker 1: probably different in the game. Guys can move, they can

183
00:09:48,360 --> 00:09:51,839
Speaker 1: do a lot of things, so yeah, probably a lot

184
00:09:51,840 --> 00:09:55,520
Speaker 1: that goes into it. I think, you know, we just

185
00:09:55,559 --> 00:09:57,880
Speaker 1: got to two really good backs, so we just got

186
00:09:57,920 --> 00:10:00,680
Speaker 1: to give a chance for them to run clean and

187
00:10:00,720 --> 00:10:02,800
Speaker 1: they can make a lot with them. So thanks guys.

188
00:10:03,000 --> 00:10:03,040
Speaker 1: Th
