1
00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:03,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, I feel like I've been constantly improving and kind

2
00:00:03,440 --> 00:00:06,160
Speaker 1: of learning what you don't know, if that makes sense.

3
00:00:06,200 --> 00:00:08,440
Speaker 1: There's there's so much that you don't know. You don't know,

4
00:00:08,560 --> 00:00:10,639
Speaker 1: and as the week going on, I figured out things

5
00:00:10,640 --> 00:00:12,320
Speaker 1: I need to be better at, things I need to

6
00:00:12,320 --> 00:00:16,120
Speaker 1: work on and continue to prepare for. And the vets

7
00:00:16,120 --> 00:00:18,480
Speaker 1: in the room and the coaching staff have been incredible

8
00:00:18,480 --> 00:00:21,239
Speaker 1: helping me out and making sure I know what to expect.

9
00:00:21,640 --> 00:00:24,840
Speaker 1: So far, it seems like Doug's message every week seems

10
00:00:24,840 --> 00:00:27,160
Speaker 1: to be that you guys are beating yourself in the losses.

11
00:00:27,560 --> 00:00:29,600
Speaker 1: How I mean in your experience playfall. How do you

12
00:00:29,680 --> 00:00:31,560
Speaker 1: kind of raise some of those mistakes that kind of

13
00:00:31,560 --> 00:00:33,920
Speaker 1: hamstring you over the course of the game. Yeah, I

14
00:00:33,960 --> 00:00:36,239
Speaker 1: mean it's obviously frustrating, and I think it's something that

15
00:00:36,320 --> 00:00:38,800
Speaker 1: you have to, you know, look within yourself and and

16
00:00:38,840 --> 00:00:41,040
Speaker 1: focus on a practice. And it's it's things that show

17
00:00:41,080 --> 00:00:43,400
Speaker 1: up at practice that may get overlooked and and show

18
00:00:43,479 --> 00:00:45,240
Speaker 1: up in the game. So for us, it's just about

19
00:00:45,560 --> 00:00:48,040
Speaker 1: continue to harp on those details and and continue to

20
00:00:48,960 --> 00:00:51,800
Speaker 1: lock down the preparation and you know, make sure what

21
00:00:51,920 --> 00:00:54,720
Speaker 1: comes out on Sundays is the finished product is the

22
00:00:54,760 --> 00:00:56,640
Speaker 1: confidence still there in the locker room that you guys

23
00:00:56,640 --> 00:01:00,360
Speaker 1: can get this turn around. Absolutely. Uh. I mean room

24
00:01:00,400 --> 00:01:02,720
Speaker 1: full of older guys that have all one and lost

25
00:01:02,760 --> 00:01:04,680
Speaker 1: a lot of football games, and just the way of

26
00:01:04,800 --> 00:01:07,800
Speaker 1: seeing them approach the way these weeks as they continue

27
00:01:07,800 --> 00:01:11,039
Speaker 1: to go on, you can sell they're they're excited and

28
00:01:11,080 --> 00:01:13,920
Speaker 1: still optimistic and confident. What's been the message from the

29
00:01:14,000 --> 00:01:15,720
Speaker 1: leaders in the locker room sort of to try to

30
00:01:15,760 --> 00:01:18,880
Speaker 1: get you guys going in that right direction? Yeah, for them,

31
00:01:18,880 --> 00:01:21,320
Speaker 1: it's just been just continue to keep your head down

32
00:01:21,440 --> 00:01:23,520
Speaker 1: and work. Uh. You know a lot of people when

33
00:01:23,959 --> 00:01:26,440
Speaker 1: when things get to start pointing fingers or start cracking,

34
00:01:26,480 --> 00:01:29,400
Speaker 1: and that's the last thing you can do. And I

35
00:01:29,440 --> 00:01:31,720
Speaker 1: really believe the damn is gonna the damn is gonna fall,

36
00:01:31,800 --> 00:01:34,720
Speaker 1: you know, keep pressing, keep continuing to push in. Uh,

37
00:01:34,800 --> 00:01:39,160
Speaker 1: It'll all come together. What uh from your what happened

38
00:01:39,160 --> 00:01:41,200
Speaker 1: on the floor on the quarterbacks and going forth in

39
00:01:41,240 --> 00:01:45,000
Speaker 1: about a half yard? Um? Did you feel you didn't?

40
00:01:45,080 --> 00:01:46,800
Speaker 1: I mean obviously you didn't get the push you the

41
00:01:46,880 --> 00:01:50,600
Speaker 1: collective push that you wanted, But was there? Did something happens?

42
00:01:50,800 --> 00:01:53,920
Speaker 1: You very rarely see a quarterback immediately get pushed back

43
00:01:54,360 --> 00:01:56,680
Speaker 1: like Trevor did on that particular play. Yeah, I mean

44
00:01:56,680 --> 00:01:59,440
Speaker 1: that's on me and the rest of the guys inside

45
00:01:59,440 --> 00:02:01,560
Speaker 1: and uh, you know, we didn't get it when we

46
00:02:01,560 --> 00:02:04,080
Speaker 1: needed to get it, and so that's what happened. I mean,

47
00:02:04,560 --> 00:02:06,840
Speaker 1: is it pure only just leverage? I mean that, you know,

48
00:02:07,560 --> 00:02:11,440
Speaker 1: I mean there's battle and sometimes the sometimes the guy

49
00:02:11,440 --> 00:02:15,240
Speaker 1: who gets lower, uh and is able to Yeah, it's

50
00:02:15,280 --> 00:02:17,080
Speaker 1: just one man against another. And then we didn't come

51
00:02:17,080 --> 00:02:18,280
Speaker 1: out on top of that time. You know, it was

52
00:02:18,280 --> 00:02:22,280
Speaker 1: a critical situation. We didn't get it. So stings. You've

53
00:02:22,440 --> 00:02:24,960
Speaker 1: been to London before, No, I've not. I've actually never

54
00:02:25,040 --> 00:02:28,280
Speaker 1: left the country, So I'm excited. Do you watch any

55
00:02:28,280 --> 00:02:30,600
Speaker 1: soccer if you ever watched the game at Winsley Stadium before?

56
00:02:30,720 --> 00:02:32,959
Speaker 1: You know, in eighth grade, I had to decide between

57
00:02:32,960 --> 00:02:35,840
Speaker 1: playing soccer football for the rest of my life. I

58
00:02:35,880 --> 00:02:37,720
Speaker 1: think I chose correctly. But yeah, I used to be

59
00:02:37,760 --> 00:02:40,040
Speaker 1: a huge soccer fan. So it still comes together that

60
00:02:40,080 --> 00:02:42,400
Speaker 1: you get to play a game at Windley. Absolutely all

61
00:02:42,480 --> 00:02:46,120
Speaker 1: full circle. Yet positions you playing soccer. I played goalie

62
00:02:46,160 --> 00:02:48,800
Speaker 1: and then midfield. Yeah. I used to be really skinny too.

63
00:02:49,639 --> 00:02:53,760
Speaker 1: That part changed as well. Yeah, on the illegal man downfield,

64
00:02:53,800 --> 00:02:56,359
Speaker 1: and only what kind of happened from your perspective in

65
00:02:56,600 --> 00:02:58,680
Speaker 1: that situation. I wasn't able to go back and look

66
00:02:58,720 --> 00:03:00,880
Speaker 1: at the play again. Yeah, I'm not sure. You know,

67
00:03:00,919 --> 00:03:03,440
Speaker 1: I was engaged with a player, and uh, you know,

68
00:03:03,480 --> 00:03:05,600
Speaker 1: obviously it gets tricky when you're running those r P

69
00:03:05,720 --> 00:03:07,359
Speaker 1: O s and you know you might be running it,

70
00:03:07,480 --> 00:03:09,679
Speaker 1: might be passing it. So uh, it's something we gotta

71
00:03:09,720 --> 00:03:12,200
Speaker 1: look at and go back and make sure we're all

72
00:03:12,200 --> 00:03:14,079
Speaker 1: on the same page. And you know, the offensive line

73
00:03:14,120 --> 00:03:17,280
Speaker 1: knows what the receiver's doing and vice versa. So definitely

74
00:03:17,320 --> 00:03:18,880
Speaker 1: something to look at. I'm not sure what happened, to

75
00:03:18,880 --> 00:03:21,120
Speaker 1: be honest with you, how much hell because some of

76
00:03:21,120 --> 00:03:22,960
Speaker 1: the veteran guys on the old line been for you

77
00:03:23,000 --> 00:03:25,120
Speaker 1: getting accustomed to everything that's going on in the NFL,

78
00:03:25,160 --> 00:03:28,000
Speaker 1: like Brandon Sheriff, Tyler Shatley. I'm helpful of those guys,

79
00:03:28,040 --> 00:03:29,760
Speaker 1: but I mean it's been great. I mean they've you know,

80
00:03:29,840 --> 00:03:33,120
Speaker 1: combined something like fifteen or sixteen years of experience, and

81
00:03:33,720 --> 00:03:35,720
Speaker 1: just to hear them talk and hear them, you know,

82
00:03:35,760 --> 00:03:37,480
Speaker 1: give pointers and tell me what I'm good at when

83
00:03:37,520 --> 00:03:40,640
Speaker 1: I'm not good at. It's been tremendous. And I'm very

84
00:03:40,680 --> 00:03:43,080
Speaker 1: thankful for it. What were the players thinking on the

85
00:03:43,160 --> 00:03:49,520
Speaker 1: field after Christian Kirkch reverse run, uh didn't produce a

86
00:03:49,600 --> 00:03:51,560
Speaker 1: first down? Did you think it was a first down?

87
00:03:51,720 --> 00:03:54,680
Speaker 1: Or you weren't sure because obviously, you know, they went

88
00:03:54,720 --> 00:03:56,560
Speaker 1: back and then then there there was at least a

89
00:03:56,960 --> 00:03:58,400
Speaker 1: look at it. But I mean, did you think it

90
00:03:58,440 --> 00:04:00,480
Speaker 1: was a first down and then got confus used when

91
00:04:00,600 --> 00:04:02,320
Speaker 1: all of a sudden you're looking down at its third

92
00:04:02,360 --> 00:04:05,120
Speaker 1: and one? Yeah, I'm you know, I don't really see it,

93
00:04:05,160 --> 00:04:06,720
Speaker 1: And I think in the huddle of the time, we're like,

94
00:04:06,960 --> 00:04:09,240
Speaker 1: it doesn't matter, We're gonna get anyway, you know, which

95
00:04:09,440 --> 00:04:12,200
Speaker 1: obviously we didn't, but we weren't really focused on what

96
00:04:12,240 --> 00:04:14,600
Speaker 1: the rest called at that moment or anything. And you know,

97
00:04:14,640 --> 00:04:17,480
Speaker 1: that's something that kind of only happened this morning for us,

98
00:04:17,480 --> 00:04:20,600
Speaker 1: so uh, not something we thought about at the time,

99
00:04:20,640 --> 00:04:24,440
Speaker 1: and you know it happened. How much of a heartbreaker

100
00:04:24,520 --> 00:04:26,000
Speaker 1: was that last play when you look up and see

101
00:04:26,080 --> 00:04:28,480
Speaker 1: Christian Kirk just hanging out at the one yard line. Yeah,

102
00:04:28,480 --> 00:04:30,080
Speaker 1: that's a brutal picture. I don't know if you saw

103
00:04:30,160 --> 00:04:32,400
Speaker 1: the still photo of him, like, yeah, I mean that's

104
00:04:32,440 --> 00:04:35,599
Speaker 1: a that's a tough picture and um, you know, like

105
00:04:35,640 --> 00:04:37,320
Speaker 1: I said, you just gotta keep pressing and in the

106
00:04:37,400 --> 00:04:39,839
Speaker 1: damn will break And I really do believe that. Is

107
00:04:39,839 --> 00:04:41,560
Speaker 1: it fun blocking for a running back like EA team.

108
00:04:41,600 --> 00:04:43,000
Speaker 1: You kind of look up and then there he is

109
00:04:43,040 --> 00:04:44,880
Speaker 1: just down the field. It's so much fun. You have

110
00:04:44,880 --> 00:04:47,440
Speaker 1: no idea who's gonna end up. It's it's it's really fun.

111
00:04:47,480 --> 00:04:49,080
Speaker 1: You'll be you know, you'll think you live over here,

112
00:04:49,120 --> 00:04:51,000
Speaker 1: and next thing you know, he's way down there. And yeah,

113
00:04:51,200 --> 00:04:54,120
Speaker 1: he's awesome. He's working his butt off and I'm really

114
00:04:54,120 --> 00:05:01,520
Speaker 1: excited to see him continue to grow good. Yeah, thanks guys.

115
00:05:00,080 --> 00:05:01,160
Speaker 1: The s
