Speaker 2: It's victory Monday.

39
00:02:15,919 --> 00:02:18,200
Speaker 4: And now when we when we sat down, Brock said, yeah,

40
00:02:18,200 --> 00:02:18,880
Speaker 4: we needed that.

41
00:02:19,440 --> 00:02:20,560
Speaker 2: Why why'd you need that?

42
00:02:21,680 --> 00:02:23,400
Speaker 5: It just felt like it's been a while since we

43
00:02:23,440 --> 00:02:26,440
Speaker 5: had a nice, you know, kind of blowout victory like that.

44
00:02:26,600 --> 00:02:29,680
Speaker 5: You know, obviously the Jets, I felt like we handled

45
00:02:29,680 --> 00:02:31,600
Speaker 5: pretty well, but yesterday it felt like.

46
00:02:33,280 --> 00:02:36,040
Speaker 3: It was kind of a complete, kind of a complete game.

47
00:02:36,200 --> 00:02:38,079
Speaker 5: You know, I still feel like there was more out

48
00:02:38,120 --> 00:02:41,919
Speaker 5: there for us, especially offensively, which is kind of crazy

49
00:02:41,919 --> 00:02:44,359
Speaker 5: to say when you score forty points, but I think

50
00:02:44,400 --> 00:02:48,360
Speaker 5: that's you know, we played really good, complimentary football.

51
00:02:48,480 --> 00:02:50,679
Speaker 6: You were telling us as well before the show, is

52
00:02:50,720 --> 00:02:52,960
Speaker 6: that you guys had had a game like that in

53
00:02:53,000 --> 00:02:55,600
Speaker 6: a while. Yeah, what could you compare what game? Could

54
00:02:55,600 --> 00:02:58,000
Speaker 6: you compare that to it? In terms of what kind

55
00:02:58,000 --> 00:02:59,240
Speaker 6: of win that was for you all?

56
00:02:59,720 --> 00:03:02,679
Speaker 5: I mean, you can really pick any of those those

57
00:03:02,720 --> 00:03:09,240
Speaker 5: twenty twenty three year those wins. Honestly, seeing Bland score

58
00:03:09,320 --> 00:03:11,520
Speaker 5: the pick six made me think of that Thanksgiving game

59
00:03:11,680 --> 00:03:14,480
Speaker 5: versus Washington two years ago, So that was that was

60
00:03:14,480 --> 00:03:16,240
Speaker 5: really cool to see him, you know, get back in

61
00:03:16,240 --> 00:03:16,960
Speaker 5: the end zone.

62
00:03:17,160 --> 00:03:18,919
Speaker 2: So what do you want to do better offensively?

63
00:03:20,320 --> 00:03:22,600
Speaker 3: Uh? Really just clean up the penalties. Really.

64
00:03:22,680 --> 00:03:25,880
Speaker 5: I think if we cleaned up the penalties, we probably

65
00:03:25,919 --> 00:03:26,480
Speaker 5: scored two.

66
00:03:26,320 --> 00:03:28,679
Speaker 3: More touchdowns right there. We hang at least fifty on them.

67
00:03:29,280 --> 00:03:31,920
Speaker 6: Did you expect coming into the season, did you expect

68
00:03:31,919 --> 00:03:34,840
Speaker 6: this offense to be as good as it is right

69
00:03:34,880 --> 00:03:36,400
Speaker 6: now so early in the season.

70
00:03:37,360 --> 00:03:39,720
Speaker 3: I don't know if I necessarily expected it.

71
00:03:39,800 --> 00:03:42,560
Speaker 5: I always knew that we had, you know, really good

72
00:03:42,560 --> 00:03:45,600
Speaker 5: players on offense. Obviously, when you have Cede Lamb and

73
00:03:45,720 --> 00:03:48,280
Speaker 5: George Pickens and then you know Fergs obviously having a

74
00:03:48,280 --> 00:03:50,240
Speaker 5: really good year, and then you had Turp and Flow

75
00:03:50,280 --> 00:03:53,640
Speaker 5: and all those guys, there's really just weapons everywhere, and

76
00:03:53,640 --> 00:03:55,839
Speaker 5: obviously in an NFL season, it does take a little

77
00:03:55,840 --> 00:03:57,480
Speaker 5: bit of time for an offense to kind of.

78
00:03:57,680 --> 00:03:58,440
Speaker 3: Click in jail.

79
00:03:58,520 --> 00:04:01,360
Speaker 5: But I felt like we really put the work in

80
00:04:01,440 --> 00:04:03,560
Speaker 5: this off season and in training camp, so it's really

81
00:04:03,560 --> 00:04:06,720
Speaker 5: cool to see our hard work come to fruition.

82
00:04:06,840 --> 00:04:10,560
Speaker 4: Did you put it in differently different head coach, different

83
00:04:10,600 --> 00:04:13,680
Speaker 4: coaches staff? Did you Was there something different that you

84
00:04:13,960 --> 00:04:15,280
Speaker 4: did in the off season from.

85
00:04:15,160 --> 00:04:15,839
Speaker 2: The last few years.

86
00:04:15,880 --> 00:04:17,640
Speaker 5: I really feel like it was just more of the

87
00:04:17,680 --> 00:04:22,560
Speaker 5: communication aspect, obviously with Dak and communicating to receivers and

88
00:04:22,560 --> 00:04:25,400
Speaker 5: different things like that on how they like they would

89
00:04:25,400 --> 00:04:27,800
Speaker 5: throw routes all the time in the off season, you know,

90
00:04:28,240 --> 00:04:30,839
Speaker 5: whether it was different high schools wherever they were meeting

91
00:04:30,920 --> 00:04:32,640
Speaker 5: up to.

92
00:04:31,839 --> 00:04:34,080
Speaker 3: To get together, but not.

93
00:04:34,200 --> 00:04:35,800
Speaker 5: I just feel like it was really just more of

94
00:04:35,839 --> 00:04:38,320
Speaker 5: the attention to detail the small things, right, the little

95
00:04:38,320 --> 00:04:39,479
Speaker 5: things out up to the big things.

96
00:04:39,480 --> 00:04:42,479
Speaker 3: So yeah, it's been cool to see and.

97
00:04:42,520 --> 00:04:45,520
Speaker 6: Talking about the addition of Javonte Williams. What has he

98
00:04:45,600 --> 00:04:46,479
Speaker 6: been like for you guys?

99
00:04:46,640 --> 00:04:49,520
Speaker 3: It's a workhorse, right, I mean, he's obviously a physical.

100
00:04:49,160 --> 00:04:51,520
Speaker 5: Runner, and it's cool to have him have him with

101
00:04:51,600 --> 00:04:57,880
Speaker 5: us this year. And you know, obviously see you know,

102
00:04:57,960 --> 00:05:00,560
Speaker 5: he had the injuries and whatnot happened in in Denver

103
00:05:00,600 --> 00:05:03,960
Speaker 5: and just seeing him come back from that and being

104
00:05:04,000 --> 00:05:04,920
Speaker 5: really successful for.

105
00:05:04,920 --> 00:05:05,520
Speaker 3: Us is awesome.

106
00:05:05,600 --> 00:05:09,200
Speaker 6: Tyler Smith, sorry, Tyler Smith told me that he brings

107
00:05:09,240 --> 00:05:15,560
Speaker 6: him the hardest runner that he's ever seen. Where would

108
00:05:15,600 --> 00:05:18,320
Speaker 6: you rank Javonte amongst the runners that you've seen?

109
00:05:18,800 --> 00:05:19,880
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think he's up there.

110
00:05:19,920 --> 00:05:23,640
Speaker 5: Obviously I had a close connection with Rico last year, right,

111
00:05:23,720 --> 00:05:27,640
Speaker 5: but uh yeah, Javonte runs really hard in between the tackles,

112
00:05:27,640 --> 00:05:28,680
Speaker 5: so he's definitely up there.

113
00:05:29,360 --> 00:05:31,760
Speaker 2: Does that when you have a guy who runs like that?

114
00:05:32,960 --> 00:05:35,920
Speaker 4: If anybody has not seen any of his tape when

115
00:05:35,960 --> 00:05:38,240
Speaker 4: he was in college at North Carolina.

116
00:05:37,839 --> 00:05:40,360
Speaker 3: Oh, he ran all over us when I was at Virginia.

117
00:05:40,640 --> 00:05:42,719
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, So I mean I would encourage you to

118
00:05:42,760 --> 00:05:46,840
Speaker 4: do it because that's who the Cowboys were interested in,

119
00:05:46,920 --> 00:05:49,080
Speaker 4: and they thought that he was back to that after

120
00:05:49,120 --> 00:05:49,640
Speaker 4: the injuries.

121
00:05:49,839 --> 00:05:52,520
Speaker 2: Well, so what do you remember him about him? From college.

122
00:05:52,680 --> 00:05:54,919
Speaker 5: I remember it was the COVID year we played UNC

123
00:05:55,160 --> 00:05:57,680
Speaker 5: and he rushed for about two hundred.

124
00:05:57,440 --> 00:05:58,880
Speaker 3: Yards himself on us. Yeah, it was.

125
00:06:00,360 --> 00:06:03,080
Speaker 5: He was making dynamic plays all over the field for sure.

126
00:06:03,680 --> 00:06:09,000
Speaker 2: Now you weren't on defense, but he would run guys over.

127
00:06:10,560 --> 00:06:13,080
Speaker 5: I mean sorry, I mean you look at yesterday's game,

128
00:06:13,200 --> 00:06:15,080
Speaker 5: like it was the second play of the game. We

129
00:06:15,160 --> 00:06:17,680
Speaker 5: ran outside zone and you know, the corner comes into

130
00:06:17,720 --> 00:06:19,440
Speaker 5: the fit and he just runs them over right away

131
00:06:19,480 --> 00:06:21,400
Speaker 5: like that, I feel like, really set the tone for

132
00:06:21,480 --> 00:06:22,560
Speaker 5: us run game.

133
00:06:23,040 --> 00:06:24,880
Speaker 2: So here's the other thing. And I do have another

134
00:06:25,120 --> 00:06:25,760
Speaker 2: follow up to that.

135
00:06:25,839 --> 00:06:27,920
Speaker 4: But the thing that that that I notice about him,

136
00:06:28,080 --> 00:06:29,760
Speaker 4: I hear myself saying it all the time.

137
00:06:31,120 --> 00:06:32,160
Speaker 2: He's so patient.

138
00:06:32,680 --> 00:06:35,920
Speaker 4: He I mean, he's clearly very smart, and he knows

139
00:06:36,080 --> 00:06:38,040
Speaker 4: where the play is.

140
00:06:38,040 --> 00:06:39,440
Speaker 2: Designed to take him.

141
00:06:39,800 --> 00:06:43,440
Speaker 4: And sometimes the defensive lineman just don't want to cooperate

142
00:06:44,080 --> 00:06:46,440
Speaker 4: and you have to adjust them a little bit and

143
00:06:46,480 --> 00:06:48,680
Speaker 4: the hole it was designed isn't there.

144
00:06:49,360 --> 00:06:52,440
Speaker 2: You have to make a different one. But can you

145
00:06:52,480 --> 00:06:54,159
Speaker 2: just speak to his what.

146
00:06:54,120 --> 00:06:57,520
Speaker 4: Appears to me to be an incredible sense of patience,

147
00:06:58,160 --> 00:07:01,680
Speaker 4: reading what you guys are doing, and just sensing where

148
00:07:01,720 --> 00:07:02,800
Speaker 4: the soft spot is.

149
00:07:02,839 --> 00:07:03,599
Speaker 2: I'll go now.

150
00:07:03,760 --> 00:07:07,560
Speaker 5: Yeah, Now, I feel like, really with any running back,

151
00:07:07,600 --> 00:07:10,680
Speaker 5: how I kind of judge them as how well did

152
00:07:10,720 --> 00:07:14,880
Speaker 5: they set up our blocks right? Like bringing the defenders

153
00:07:14,880 --> 00:07:17,200
Speaker 5: to us, whether we're in combination of different things like that.

154
00:07:17,320 --> 00:07:19,400
Speaker 5: So when you talk about the patients, I look at

155
00:07:19,440 --> 00:07:21,760
Speaker 5: that as, yes, he's very patient, but he also does

156
00:07:21,800 --> 00:07:24,360
Speaker 5: a really good job of bringing the defenders to us

157
00:07:24,400 --> 00:07:25,000
Speaker 5: and helping.

158
00:07:24,800 --> 00:07:25,720
Speaker 3: Set up our blogs.

159
00:07:25,840 --> 00:07:27,320
Speaker 6: He was telling us when we had him on the

160
00:07:27,320 --> 00:07:29,640
Speaker 6: show is that he still feels like there's so much

161
00:07:29,720 --> 00:07:32,080
Speaker 6: more room to improve in terms of his vision, the

162
00:07:32,120 --> 00:07:34,760
Speaker 6: way that he sees things. Do you feel like there's

163
00:07:34,800 --> 00:07:36,040
Speaker 6: some truth to that at all?

164
00:07:36,160 --> 00:07:38,040
Speaker 3: Or I don't know. I think he's running pretty well.

165
00:07:38,120 --> 00:07:40,000
Speaker 3: So whatever he's doing, and he's to keep doing it.

166
00:07:40,040 --> 00:07:40,480
Speaker 3: For sure.

167
00:07:41,400 --> 00:07:45,920
Speaker 4: There was a clear, i'm gonna say almost throughout the

168
00:07:45,960 --> 00:07:49,920
Speaker 4: team dissatisfaction coming out of Carolina. Yeah, with the thing

169
00:07:49,960 --> 00:07:53,680
Speaker 4: that we heard a lot of was not physical enough

170
00:07:54,360 --> 00:07:58,160
Speaker 4: and if the offense wasn't physical enough, you guys set

171
00:07:58,200 --> 00:08:01,440
Speaker 4: the tone for that upfront. What happened in that week?

172
00:08:01,480 --> 00:08:05,240
Speaker 4: What was the difference between that game and the Jets

173
00:08:05,280 --> 00:08:08,440
Speaker 4: game and yesterday? And how do you keep that whatever

174
00:08:08,440 --> 00:08:09,200
Speaker 4: you had yesterday?

175
00:08:09,200 --> 00:08:10,000
Speaker 2: How do you keep that.

176
00:08:10,360 --> 00:08:12,200
Speaker 5: Yeah, I just felt like with the Panthers game, there's

177
00:08:12,240 --> 00:08:16,280
Speaker 5: a lot of inconsistency up front. You know, everybody kind

178
00:08:16,280 --> 00:08:18,000
Speaker 5: of took their turns at it in the run game.

179
00:08:19,320 --> 00:08:21,440
Speaker 5: But you know when you look at the Jets week

180
00:08:21,760 --> 00:08:25,680
Speaker 5: and the Commander's week, like I felt like we could

181
00:08:25,920 --> 00:08:28,440
Speaker 5: we knew what was about to happen based off our

182
00:08:28,480 --> 00:08:29,320
Speaker 5: prep throughout the week.

183
00:08:29,360 --> 00:08:30,800
Speaker 3: So it's really just about.

184
00:08:30,800 --> 00:08:33,959
Speaker 5: Focusing on, you know, the details of the game plan

185
00:08:34,960 --> 00:08:37,080
Speaker 5: because you know, each different week, like we'll put in

186
00:08:37,240 --> 00:08:39,320
Speaker 5: a couple of different run plays right that are specific

187
00:08:39,360 --> 00:08:42,400
Speaker 5: for that defense. So it's just mastering those details and

188
00:08:43,040 --> 00:08:44,480
Speaker 5: communicating and building confidence.

189
00:08:44,559 --> 00:08:48,959
Speaker 4: And when you're being appropriately physical as a group in

190
00:08:49,040 --> 00:08:51,440
Speaker 4: the way you want to be, what's that feel like

191
00:08:51,520 --> 00:08:52,640
Speaker 4: and what would we see?

192
00:08:53,559 --> 00:08:55,880
Speaker 5: You'll see the O line take over the game, you know,

193
00:08:57,800 --> 00:09:01,720
Speaker 5: whether it's like I said, the communication, respect, the physicality aspect,

194
00:09:02,280 --> 00:09:05,520
Speaker 5: pushing the pile, really just breaking the defense down.

195
00:09:05,600 --> 00:09:07,280
Speaker 3: Like I feel like yesterday.

196
00:09:08,720 --> 00:09:10,840
Speaker 5: We definitely had more on the bone out there, but

197
00:09:11,559 --> 00:09:13,680
Speaker 5: you could definitely see the physicality and you could see

198
00:09:13,720 --> 00:09:14,680
Speaker 5: us start to break them down.

199
00:09:14,840 --> 00:09:15,440
Speaker 3: What were some of.

200
00:09:15,480 --> 00:09:19,319
Speaker 6: Those conversations like in those meeting rooms or maybe kind

201
00:09:19,320 --> 00:09:21,560
Speaker 6: of one on one with the offensive line. On terms

202
00:09:21,559 --> 00:09:23,600
Speaker 6: of taking that step up, taking that.

203
00:09:23,559 --> 00:09:26,280
Speaker 5: Step forward from the Panthers game this week, I think

204
00:09:27,880 --> 00:09:30,079
Speaker 5: it's really just about staying the fight. Like obviously we

205
00:09:30,160 --> 00:09:32,199
Speaker 5: faced adversity in the Panthers game, not really getting the

206
00:09:32,240 --> 00:09:36,120
Speaker 5: run game going, and it's really just about you know,

207
00:09:36,600 --> 00:09:39,520
Speaker 5: staying in it right, like, no matter what, whether adversity

208
00:09:39,559 --> 00:09:40,559
Speaker 5: strikes or not, like we.

209
00:09:40,600 --> 00:09:42,880
Speaker 3: Just always got to play to our standard. It's going

210
00:09:42,960 --> 00:09:46,559
Speaker 3: to strike, yeah, aways no matter what game it is,

211
00:09:46,600 --> 00:09:47,319
Speaker 3: it's always.

212
00:09:47,040 --> 00:09:48,840
Speaker 2: There at some point. Okay, So I have a two

213
00:09:48,840 --> 00:09:51,679
Speaker 2: part question, how.

214
00:09:53,040 --> 00:09:56,240
Speaker 4: Both easy and enjoyable has it been for you to

215
00:09:56,320 --> 00:10:00,120
Speaker 4: kind of settle into a groove playing several weeks and

216
00:10:00,400 --> 00:10:01,439
Speaker 4: kind of settling.

217
00:10:01,080 --> 00:10:01,720
Speaker 2: In with everybody?

218
00:10:01,800 --> 00:10:04,200
Speaker 4: And will there have to be a cage match with

219
00:10:04,280 --> 00:10:06,160
Speaker 4: Cooper BB before you give him the job.

220
00:10:06,480 --> 00:10:07,960
Speaker 3: I don't know if there'll be a cage match.

221
00:10:08,000 --> 00:10:11,080
Speaker 5: That's not my decision to make, but I'm just focused

222
00:10:11,120 --> 00:10:12,480
Speaker 5: on doing what I got to do to help this

223
00:10:12,520 --> 00:10:12,959
Speaker 5: team win.

224
00:10:13,559 --> 00:10:15,920
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's been It's definitely been fun playing with those

225
00:10:15,960 --> 00:10:16,760
Speaker 3: guys up front though.

226
00:10:17,640 --> 00:10:20,160
Speaker 6: Okay, oh I didn't know if he has I'm sorry,

227
00:10:20,240 --> 00:10:22,560
Speaker 6: Cooper bebe just talk about the way that you've kind

228
00:10:22,559 --> 00:10:26,000
Speaker 6: of mentored him a little bit. Obviously he's out with injuries,

229
00:10:26,080 --> 00:10:28,400
Speaker 6: but what's what's that relationship been like even though you

230
00:10:28,400 --> 00:10:29,679
Speaker 6: guys are competing for the same time.

231
00:10:29,760 --> 00:10:32,480
Speaker 5: Yeah, no, I mean we've always been in competition ever

232
00:10:32,520 --> 00:10:35,400
Speaker 5: since he got here, but we do have that friendship

233
00:10:35,440 --> 00:10:37,520
Speaker 5: and we lean on each other a lot, right, And

234
00:10:38,679 --> 00:10:40,640
Speaker 5: when he first got here, he was obviously.

235
00:10:40,400 --> 00:10:42,480
Speaker 3: Learning how to play center. I've played center in the past,

236
00:10:42,480 --> 00:10:42,959
Speaker 3: so it's just.

237
00:10:45,080 --> 00:10:47,600
Speaker 5: Really talking about different things, different techniques and how we

238
00:10:47,640 --> 00:10:50,480
Speaker 5: see the game protection wise and different things like that.

239
00:10:50,720 --> 00:10:54,120
Speaker 3: So yeah, no, he's doing good. I think he's gonna

240
00:10:54,120 --> 00:10:55,000
Speaker 3: be ready to roll soon.

241
00:10:55,120 --> 00:10:57,360
Speaker 4: So two or three weeks ago when you had there

242
00:10:57,360 --> 00:11:01,199
Speaker 4: were four alignmen who were out, and there were other

243
00:11:01,520 --> 00:11:07,959
Speaker 4: cornerbacks were out, receivers and Brian Schottenheimer said at a

244
00:11:08,000 --> 00:11:11,360
Speaker 4: press conference that he considered in answer to a question,

245
00:11:12,000 --> 00:11:15,240
Speaker 4: he was old school and he did not believe that

246
00:11:15,320 --> 00:11:17,800
Speaker 4: you could lose a starter, could lose.

247
00:11:17,640 --> 00:11:20,240
Speaker 2: His job to an injury, and.

248
00:11:21,600 --> 00:11:24,080
Speaker 4: When he comes back, he better be playing well because

249
00:11:24,160 --> 00:11:26,320
Speaker 4: we've got good people behind him.

250
00:11:27,160 --> 00:11:29,720
Speaker 2: When you are the backup who.

251
00:11:29,559 --> 00:11:33,120
Speaker 4: Has come in and played well, how does that philosophy

252
00:11:33,679 --> 00:11:34,440
Speaker 4: sip for you.

253
00:11:35,160 --> 00:11:37,040
Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean I don't really look too far ahead

254
00:11:37,040 --> 00:11:37,800
Speaker 5: into different things.

255
00:11:37,840 --> 00:11:39,719
Speaker 3: I really just you know, take it week by week

256
00:11:39,800 --> 00:11:40,360
Speaker 3: kind of how I've.

257
00:11:40,280 --> 00:11:42,800
Speaker 5: Always done my whole career, you know, being an undrafted

258
00:11:42,840 --> 00:11:45,439
Speaker 5: guy and you know, working my way to starting games

259
00:11:45,440 --> 00:11:46,040
Speaker 5: in this league.

260
00:11:46,920 --> 00:11:49,079
Speaker 3: You really just take each opportunity.

261
00:11:48,480 --> 00:11:50,000
Speaker 5: For what it is, and you go out there and

262
00:11:50,040 --> 00:11:51,439
Speaker 5: just put your best foot forward and try to put

263
00:11:51,440 --> 00:11:53,520
Speaker 5: the best film that you can out there.

264
00:11:54,720 --> 00:11:57,719
Speaker 6: Scott, He's been pretty much preaching this compete every day

265
00:11:57,760 --> 00:12:00,960
Speaker 6: mantra since he got hired as head coach. Uh do

266
00:12:01,040 --> 00:12:03,240
Speaker 6: you feel like he's continued to live up to that

267
00:12:03,280 --> 00:12:04,280
Speaker 6: mantra every week?

268
00:12:04,480 --> 00:12:04,680
Speaker 3: Yeah?

269
00:12:04,800 --> 00:12:07,120
Speaker 5: No, that's I was telling somebody the other day that

270
00:12:07,160 --> 00:12:09,199
Speaker 5: I feel like Shoty's kind of the same person every day.

271
00:12:09,240 --> 00:12:10,600
Speaker 3: Always brings that energy, and he.

272
00:12:10,559 --> 00:12:14,800
Speaker 5: Always talks about competing, and you know we always have

273
00:12:14,880 --> 00:12:17,000
Speaker 5: you know, competition Wednesday and different things like that.

274
00:12:17,040 --> 00:12:18,040
Speaker 7: But what's that involved.

275
00:12:19,600 --> 00:12:21,680
Speaker 5: Well, you know how we do the like pre practice

276
00:12:21,720 --> 00:12:24,480
Speaker 5: bag stuff so the offensive defense will separate. So that's

277
00:12:24,480 --> 00:12:27,000
Speaker 5: a competition. We have a basketball shoot off in the

278
00:12:27,040 --> 00:12:27,920
Speaker 5: team meeting.

279
00:12:27,640 --> 00:12:29,040
Speaker 3: To start off. That's a competition.

280
00:12:29,280 --> 00:12:29,880
Speaker 2: Do you ever win?

281
00:12:30,160 --> 00:12:30,360
Speaker 8: Uh?

282
00:12:30,640 --> 00:12:30,880
Speaker 3: No?

283
00:12:30,960 --> 00:12:31,280
Speaker 8: Not me.

284
00:12:31,320 --> 00:12:33,040
Speaker 5: I haven't shot at basketball in a while, so I'm

285
00:12:33,040 --> 00:12:35,400
Speaker 5: a little rusty, but uh, and then we'll do like

286
00:12:35,440 --> 00:12:37,720
Speaker 5: a red zone period good versus good. So that's kind

287
00:12:37,720 --> 00:12:40,120
Speaker 5: of kind of the points system, and you know they

288
00:12:40,240 --> 00:12:42,040
Speaker 5: graded off that. And then we'll come in Thursday morning

289
00:12:42,040 --> 00:12:44,559
Speaker 5: and say who won competition Wednesday?

290
00:12:44,679 --> 00:12:46,280
Speaker 2: And so did the pizza party?

291
00:12:46,480 --> 00:12:49,559
Speaker 3: No, not that, it's more of bragging rights. I guess, yeah, party,

292
00:12:50,400 --> 00:12:51,440
Speaker 3: but you know, you never know.

293

304
00:16:27,320 --> 00:16:31,640
Speaker 4: and celebrating victory Monday, because the offensive line just dominated

305
00:16:31,640 --> 00:16:37,800
Speaker 4: the game yesterday against the hated Washington Commanders. It's funny

306
00:16:37,800 --> 00:16:40,760
Speaker 4: that I'm sure you did to you guys like Beattish,

307
00:16:41,400 --> 00:16:43,040
Speaker 4: you know, I got a chance to see him before

308
00:16:43,080 --> 00:16:46,920
Speaker 4: the game and Doriance Armstrong, and it's still funny to

309
00:16:47,000 --> 00:16:52,160
Speaker 4: see some of those guys indifferent, especially with those guys

310
00:16:52,160 --> 00:16:53,880
Speaker 4: you and Beottish kind of came up together.

311
00:16:54,120 --> 00:16:54,320
Speaker 3: Yeah.

312
00:16:54,400 --> 00:16:59,080
Speaker 5: No, we're still tight for sure, still close friends.

313
00:16:59,600 --> 00:17:01,240
Speaker 3: Oh, probably twice a week honestly.

314
00:17:01,480 --> 00:17:03,920
Speaker 6: Really, Yeah, does he still give you kind of advice?

315
00:17:03,960 --> 00:17:06,200
Speaker 6: I remember you telling us that you know, you're he

316
00:17:06,280 --> 00:17:07,720
Speaker 6: was a guy that you kind of leaned on it

317
00:17:08,040 --> 00:17:10,280
Speaker 6: kind of he was a mentor for you. What those

318
00:17:10,280 --> 00:17:11,160
Speaker 6: conversations like.

319
00:17:11,440 --> 00:17:13,960
Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean, honestly, the last couple of weeks, it's

320
00:17:14,000 --> 00:17:16,919
Speaker 5: really been about like if we're playing somebody that you know,

321
00:17:16,960 --> 00:17:18,920
Speaker 5: he went against, like I called him before the Green

322
00:17:18,920 --> 00:17:21,240
Speaker 5: Bay game. Just any advice, different things like that. So

323
00:17:21,400 --> 00:17:23,840
Speaker 5: just kind of giving each other pointers and you know,

324
00:17:23,960 --> 00:17:25,399
Speaker 5: leaning on each other throughout the season.

325
00:17:25,520 --> 00:17:28,000
Speaker 6: What's the biggest piece of advice that he has given you?

326
00:17:28,920 --> 00:17:30,320
Speaker 3: Uh, to take care of your body.

327
00:17:31,000 --> 00:17:34,160
Speaker 5: Being a young guy when I first got here, he's

328
00:17:34,240 --> 00:17:36,560
Speaker 5: kind of like a pros pro in terms of taking

329
00:17:36,560 --> 00:17:38,480
Speaker 5: care of your body and so you can stay on

330
00:17:38,520 --> 00:17:38,920
Speaker 5: the field.

331
00:17:39,040 --> 00:17:41,000
Speaker 3: So I would definitely say that.

332
00:17:41,080 --> 00:17:44,399
Speaker 4: Okay, So speaking of that, I uh, for a man

333
00:17:44,520 --> 00:17:47,119
Speaker 4: my age, I spent entirely too much time on Instagram,

334
00:17:47,800 --> 00:17:49,919
Speaker 4: and I think it was that why.

335
00:17:49,960 --> 00:17:51,320
Speaker 2: Why are you sorry.

336
00:17:52,600 --> 00:17:56,000
Speaker 3: You to say that I have Instagram?

337
00:17:56,080 --> 00:17:57,920
Speaker 2: I so from time to time.

338
00:17:59,320 --> 00:18:01,960
Speaker 3: Scrolling a little bit, a little bit.

339
00:18:03,280 --> 00:18:06,480
Speaker 4: I think it was on Instagram where I saw some

340
00:18:06,520 --> 00:18:09,719
Speaker 4: stuff about you. This is what I ate when I

341
00:18:09,880 --> 00:18:14,760
Speaker 4: was a senior, when I was a college offensive lineman.

342
00:18:15,240 --> 00:18:16,880
Speaker 2: These were my Have I got it right?

343
00:18:17,119 --> 00:18:18,600
Speaker 3: Yeah? I think so.

344
00:18:18,400 --> 00:18:20,520
Speaker 2: And so do you have someone who does your social

345
00:18:20,600 --> 00:18:21,360
Speaker 2: media or do you.

346
00:18:21,359 --> 00:18:23,879
Speaker 3: Know I do it? Yeah? No, I definitely posted like

347
00:18:23,920 --> 00:18:25,000
Speaker 3: a little throwback video.

348
00:18:25,119 --> 00:18:25,960
Speaker 2: Okay, so there was.

349
00:18:26,119 --> 00:18:27,879
Speaker 4: So this is what I want you to tell the people,

350
00:18:27,920 --> 00:18:29,960
Speaker 4: because you brought up the subject of taking care of

351
00:18:30,000 --> 00:18:36,320
Speaker 4: your body, which usually for professional football players means changing

352
00:18:36,400 --> 00:18:38,320
Speaker 4: eating habits frequently.

353
00:18:38,920 --> 00:18:41,199
Speaker 2: So just tell them what would be Let me go

354
00:18:41,280 --> 00:18:41,960
Speaker 2: back to your.

355
00:18:41,880 --> 00:18:43,920
Speaker 4: Senior year at Virginia Tech if you want, or you

356
00:18:43,920 --> 00:18:48,080
Speaker 4: can go earlier than that, maybe when you were a chanticleer.

357
00:18:47,359 --> 00:18:53,680
Speaker 2: Before you were a hoky. What what might you eat on.

358
00:18:53,680 --> 00:18:56,960
Speaker 4: A Wednesday for dinner? And then how has that changed?

359
00:18:57,000 --> 00:18:58,040
Speaker 4: What's your diet look.

360
00:18:58,000 --> 00:19:03,960
Speaker 5: Like now a Wednesday night in Blacksburg, Virginia, I'm probably eating.

Speaker 3: Probably Panda Express.

362
00:19:07,400 --> 00:19:08,160
Speaker 2: What's your order?

363
00:19:08,760 --> 00:19:13,280
Speaker 5: Uh, the orange chicken with the coconut shrimp and the

364
00:19:13,320 --> 00:19:14,359
Speaker 5: double fried rice.

365
00:19:14,600 --> 00:19:17,160
Speaker 3: Yeah. Probably not the most healthiest thing in the world.

366
00:19:17,200 --> 00:19:17,479
Speaker 3: All right.

367
00:19:18,480 --> 00:19:22,639
Speaker 5: Nowadays on a Wednesday, I'm eating like ground bison and rice.

377
00:19:50,200 --> 00:19:53,679
Speaker 5: hash Browns, eggs, like, but a lot of like fried

378

00:20:04,840 --> 00:20:05,600
Speaker 2: What would lunch be.

383
00:20:08,080 --> 00:20:14,399
Speaker 3: McDonald sometimes, you know, a couple of mcdoubles nuggets.

00:20:14,440 --> 00:20:17,399
Speaker 6: It's okay, you've changed now changed? Have you had his

385
00:20:17,520 --> 00:20:18,160

Speaker 2: I have not the bison you mean, yeah, no, he

387
00:20:23,400 --> 00:20:23,760
Speaker 2: makes that.

388
00:20:25,040 --> 00:20:28,240
Speaker 3: I well, well you do, yeah, I do it myself.

389
00:20:28,280 --> 00:20:31,600
Speaker 5: If we're at home the fro on the road, they

390
00:20:31,600 --> 00:20:32,640
Speaker 5: have all the ingredients.

391
00:20:32,680 --> 00:20:33,959
Speaker 3: They're actually at the hotel.

392
00:20:34,160 --> 00:20:39,160
Speaker 5: So yeah, white rice, eggs, ground bison, cheese, and Greek

393
00:20:39,240 --> 00:20:41,560
Speaker 5: yogurt tried all mixed up.

394
00:20:43,000 --> 00:20:45,360
Speaker 2: No, it sounds great. And it's a little different from

395
00:20:45,600 --> 00:20:46,520
Speaker 2: Panda Express.

396
00:20:46,600 --> 00:20:51,200
Speaker 4: And yeah, and and two double cheeseburgers and a twenty

397
00:20:51,240 --> 00:20:52,320
Speaker 4: piece of nugget.

398
00:20:52,320 --> 00:20:55,040
Speaker 3: Maybe more two maybe about four four?

399
00:20:55,160 --> 00:20:59,760
Speaker 4: Okay, So it was it was it after you got

400
00:20:59,760 --> 00:21:02,119
Speaker 4: to the NFL that a light bulb went.

401
00:21:02,040 --> 00:21:03,800
Speaker 2: Off that you said this, I don't know if this

402
00:21:03,920 --> 00:21:04,680
Speaker 2: is sustainable.

403
00:21:05,359 --> 00:21:06,400
Speaker 3: Yeah, for sure.

404
00:21:06,760 --> 00:21:09,480
Speaker 5: When you see the difference in athletes from the ACC

405
00:21:09,640 --> 00:21:11,040
Speaker 5: to the NFL, it's a little bit different.

406
00:21:11,160 --> 00:21:13,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, So you got to find any little edge.

407
00:21:16,560 --> 00:21:22,080
Speaker 6: What ultimately clicked for you.

408
00:21:19,960 --> 00:21:23,399
Speaker 5: Just realizing that, like it's obviously still a game that

409
00:21:23,440 --> 00:21:25,720
Speaker 5: you play and you know love, right, Like it's a

410
00:21:25,800 --> 00:21:28,760
Speaker 5: kid's game, but it's also your livelihood, you know.

411
00:21:29,200 --> 00:21:31,160
Speaker 4: Yeah, and now the stakes are a little different, Yeah,

412
00:21:31,200 --> 00:21:33,560
Speaker 4: a little bit different because you're now a married personal

413
00:21:34,600 --> 00:21:36,960
Speaker 4: And we were Brock and I were talking about this

414
00:21:37,040 --> 00:21:41,480
Speaker 4: before we went on the air, because it's it's really

415
00:21:41,800 --> 00:21:42,960
Speaker 4: of great interest to me.

416
00:21:44,119 --> 00:21:46,680
Speaker 2: NFL players are vested.

417
00:21:46,359 --> 00:21:53,480
Speaker 4: In the pension system, and and that's a limiting term

418
00:21:53,520 --> 00:21:56,000
Speaker 4: and it used to be four service years but now

419
00:21:56,040 --> 00:21:59,080
Speaker 4: it's three. But you don't have that doesn't mean you're

420
00:21:59,080 --> 00:22:00,640
Speaker 4: on the active roster for the whole year.

421
00:22:00,680 --> 00:22:02,360
Speaker 2: It means three games.

422
00:22:02,040 --> 00:22:03,840
Speaker 3: That you're saying, yeah, you just need three.

423
00:22:04,920 --> 00:22:08,680
Speaker 4: So what does that get you when you're vested? Because

424
00:22:08,720 --> 00:22:12,320
Speaker 4: you were saying that you when when someone first told you, oh, cool,

425
00:22:12,359 --> 00:22:15,320
Speaker 4: you're vested. Former teammate I meant to Collins called you

426
00:22:15,920 --> 00:22:18,919
Speaker 4: so cool you're vested, and you said, yeah, yes, okay,

427
00:22:18,960 --> 00:22:19,479
Speaker 4: what's that mean?

428
00:22:19,600 --> 00:22:20,600
Speaker 2: But what does that mean?

429
00:22:20,840 --> 00:22:21,080
Speaker 7: Yeah?

430
00:22:21,160 --> 00:22:21,880
Speaker 3: No, I mean it's huge.

431
00:22:21,880 --> 00:22:25,920
Speaker 5: Obviously you get the pension, right, you the health benefits

432
00:22:26,000 --> 00:22:28,959
Speaker 5: right when you retire, a bunch of different other like

433
00:22:29,600 --> 00:22:33,840
Speaker 5: funds in there that I'm not necessarily sure yet, but

434
00:22:33,920 --> 00:22:36,159
Speaker 5: I guess they're there for when you retire, but you know,

435
00:22:36,200 --> 00:22:37,680
Speaker 5: I'm hoping that's a long way down the road.

436
00:22:37,800 --> 00:22:40,920
Speaker 2: Sure, you got a business manager, don't you. Yeah, yeah,

437
00:22:40,960 --> 00:22:41,760
Speaker 2: that's their job.

438
00:22:41,840 --> 00:22:44,280
Speaker 4: That's their job, their job to tell you what you got.

439
00:22:45,680 --> 00:22:49,760
Speaker 4: So how do you like being a married person.

440
00:22:50,040 --> 00:22:53,679
Speaker 3: I love it. I love it. That's it's definitely been

441
00:22:53,680 --> 00:22:54,399
Speaker 3: a cool journey.

442
00:22:54,520 --> 00:22:56,879
Speaker 2: Just uh, if that had been a different answer than

443
00:22:56,880 --> 00:22:57,640
Speaker 2: we would have been.

444
00:22:57,560 --> 00:23:01,359
Speaker 4: A very serious It's probably not everything I thought it

445
00:23:01,359 --> 00:23:01,639
Speaker 4: would be.

446
00:23:02,920 --> 00:23:04,280
Speaker 2: Don't didn't know what to expect.

447
00:23:04,640 --> 00:23:05,560
Speaker 3: No, it's been cool.

448
00:23:05,600 --> 00:23:09,360
Speaker 5: I mean I've been with Abby for almost six years now,

449
00:23:09,440 --> 00:23:12,080
Speaker 5: so we've we've been together a while, and we had

450
00:23:12,080 --> 00:23:15,120
Speaker 5: a really special day out in Colorado, which is cool

451
00:23:15,119 --> 00:23:16,680
Speaker 5: because we're playing the Broncos this week.

452
00:23:16,760 --> 00:23:18,600
Speaker 3: You know, got married out there.

453
00:23:18,400 --> 00:23:23,120
Speaker 6: And it's been what's been the biggest adjustment in getting married?

454
00:23:23,440 --> 00:23:25,479
Speaker 5: The married life, Well, right now it's a little bit

455
00:23:25,520 --> 00:23:28,920
Speaker 5: tougher just because she's in PA school down in four Worths,

456
00:23:28,960 --> 00:23:31,480
Speaker 5: so we kind of have different schedules. So we try

457
00:23:31,520 --> 00:23:33,879
Speaker 5: to make uh, you know, our Friday date night to

458
00:23:34,200 --> 00:23:36,000
Speaker 5: you know, spend that quality time with each other.

459
00:23:37,440 --> 00:23:39,080
Speaker 3: She didn't, she.

460
00:23:39,040 --> 00:23:40,479
Speaker 2: Will, Well, we'll let you know what it is your

461
00:23:40,520 --> 00:23:42,160
Speaker 2: turn to talk. Okay, thanks very much?

462
00:23:42,480 --> 00:23:47,439
Speaker 4: Uh you she she didn't eat those meals with you

463
00:23:47,520 --> 00:23:48,719
Speaker 4: in Blacksburn No?

464
00:23:48,720 --> 00:23:50,720
Speaker 3: No, no, So did you know her there? No?

465
00:23:50,960 --> 00:23:53,800
Speaker 5: So we actually I met her at Coastal and then

466
00:23:53,800 --> 00:23:57,160
Speaker 5: we started dating after I transferred so we did long

467
00:23:57,200 --> 00:23:58,200
Speaker 5: distance for a while.

468
00:23:58,880 --> 00:23:59,720
Speaker 6: For how long?

469
00:24:00,840 --> 00:24:01,520
Speaker 3: Four years?

470
00:24:02,480 --> 00:24:06,119
Speaker 4: So you have this this different schedules fort Worth and

471
00:24:06,200 --> 00:24:06,760
Speaker 4: it's nothing.

472
00:24:06,920 --> 00:24:09,000
Speaker 5: Yeah, but when you live with with each other for

473
00:24:09,040 --> 00:24:10,960
Speaker 5: two years, then you kind of get that, you know,

474
00:24:11,040 --> 00:24:12,200
Speaker 5: separation anxiety.

475
00:24:12,240 --> 00:24:15,240
Speaker 4: You know that's good, that's good, and if she's listening,

476
00:24:15,440 --> 00:24:19,000
Speaker 4: then that just scored some points. You have separation anxiety

477
00:24:19,040 --> 00:24:21,800
Speaker 4: when you're not when you're not with her. Uh okay,

478
00:24:22,160 --> 00:24:24,840
Speaker 4: this is changing the subject completely. Brock said, thank you

479
00:24:24,920 --> 00:24:32,640
Speaker 4: very much. The face black you wear during a game,

480
00:24:32,680 --> 00:24:38,119
Speaker 4: that's war paint. So where did that come from? I

481
00:24:38,119 --> 00:24:41,440
Speaker 4: mean because the pictures that I see, and it's hard

482
00:24:41,480 --> 00:24:44,159
Speaker 4: to see you live through your helmet, but I mean you.

483
00:24:44,240 --> 00:24:48,560
Speaker 2: Got most of your face between I and beardline black.

484
00:24:48,760 --> 00:24:50,879
Speaker 3: They got the cheeks covered and just a little strip

485
00:24:50,920 --> 00:24:51,520
Speaker 3: over the nose.

486
00:24:51,640 --> 00:24:54,080
Speaker 2: Okay, So what does that do for you?

487
00:24:56,960 --> 00:24:59,280
Speaker 3: It started in college.

488
00:24:59,680 --> 00:25:01,840
Speaker 5: My first two years I didn't do it, and then

489
00:25:01,920 --> 00:25:04,239
Speaker 5: my third year in school I started doing it.

490
00:25:04,359 --> 00:25:07,159
Speaker 2: Now after you transferred to Virginia.

491
00:25:06,800 --> 00:25:10,520
Speaker 5: Tech, Yeah, okay, yeah, and for me, it's just like

492
00:25:10,680 --> 00:25:13,720
Speaker 5: a personality switch. Honestly, Like when you say warpaint, like

493
00:25:13,760 --> 00:25:15,640
Speaker 5: I genuinely feel like it's war paint.

494
00:25:15,800 --> 00:25:17,440
Speaker 3: Like I feel like outside.

495
00:25:17,160 --> 00:25:19,480
Speaker 5: Of football, I'm really calm and chill and kind of

496
00:25:20,320 --> 00:25:22,119
Speaker 5: I'm the complete opposite on the field, you know what

497
00:25:22,119 --> 00:25:24,240
Speaker 5: I mean. So really, when I that's like the last

498
00:25:24,240 --> 00:25:26,160
Speaker 5: thing I do before I go out onto the field

499
00:25:26,200 --> 00:25:26,760
Speaker 5: for warm up.

500
00:25:26,920 --> 00:25:29,199
Speaker 3: So that's kind of like my ritual, Like all right,

501
00:25:29,200 --> 00:25:30,040
Speaker 3: it's time to turn it on.

502
00:25:30,160 --> 00:25:32,399
Speaker 2: Now what is that subs? What do you put on there?

503
00:25:32,680 --> 00:25:36,640
Speaker 5: I have no idea what it is, honestly, I mean, yeah,

504
00:25:36,720 --> 00:25:39,200
Speaker 5: you know, like growing up, it's always been like you see,

505
00:25:39,440 --> 00:25:41,360
Speaker 5: like Baker's wearing it right now, like keeps the sun

506
00:25:41,359 --> 00:25:41,920
Speaker 5: out of your eyes.

507
00:25:41,960 --> 00:25:45,000
Speaker 3: But they're playing indoors, so it's like, yeah, I don't know.

508
00:25:45,040 --> 00:25:48,000
Speaker 2: But I mean, is it it's like a little stick.

509
00:25:49,400 --> 00:25:51,479
Speaker 5: No, No, it's like a little stick and you just

510
00:25:51,520 --> 00:25:53,040
Speaker 5: like like a crayon, you know.

511
00:25:54,920 --> 00:25:58,000
Speaker 4: So what is the thought when you I would like

512
00:25:58,080 --> 00:26:01,400
Speaker 4: you to take us from the time you take out

513
00:26:01,440 --> 00:26:03,920
Speaker 4: the little stick out of your dop kit or wherever

514
00:26:03,960 --> 00:26:08,600
Speaker 4: you have. How how is your thought process starting to

515
00:26:08,680 --> 00:26:11,920
Speaker 4: change as you open that thing and as you're starting

516
00:26:11,960 --> 00:26:15,199
Speaker 4: to apply it, and then you get one side and

517
00:26:15,240 --> 00:26:15,760
Speaker 4: then the other.

518
00:26:15,880 --> 00:26:16,680
Speaker 2: Is that how you do it?

519
00:26:17,480 --> 00:26:20,200
Speaker 5: Yes, I do a strip across the nose and then

520
00:26:20,200 --> 00:26:21,440
Speaker 5: I just fill it in from there.

521
00:26:21,720 --> 00:26:25,200
Speaker 2: So what's the thought process as all of that is happening.

522
00:26:25,640 --> 00:26:29,040
Speaker 5: Before that, I'm really like listening to music, you know,

523
00:26:29,200 --> 00:26:31,360
Speaker 5: vibing and uh like rock.

524
00:26:32,040 --> 00:26:33,000
Speaker 7: No, I'm listen.

525
00:26:36,320 --> 00:26:38,879
Speaker 5: And then kind of going over like the opening plays

526
00:26:38,880 --> 00:26:44,000
Speaker 5: of the game. And then honestly, when I put the

527
00:26:44,000 --> 00:26:48,480
Speaker 5: the EyeBlack on, like I'm just thinking about putting dudes

528
00:26:48,520 --> 00:26:50,399
Speaker 5: in the ground, Like that's really the only thing that

529
00:26:50,600 --> 00:26:52,840
Speaker 5: like kind of goes through my mind is like visualizing

530
00:26:52,920 --> 00:26:54,000
Speaker 5: like pancake and dudes.

531
00:26:54,119 --> 00:26:56,640
Speaker 6: You said you have a personality switch. Do you have

532
00:26:56,680 --> 00:26:58,119
Speaker 6: a name for that personality?

533
00:26:58,280 --> 00:26:59,840
Speaker 5: I don't have a name for it. I don't have

534
00:26:59,840 --> 00:27:02,439
Speaker 5: an name for it. I think people just know like

535
00:27:02,880 --> 00:27:06,000
Speaker 5: it's football brock. You know football Rock's a little bit

536
00:27:06,040 --> 00:27:07,200
Speaker 5: different than normal brock.

537
00:27:07,280 --> 00:27:09,240
Speaker 2: Do you do you wear that in practice?

538
00:27:09,520 --> 00:27:13,000
Speaker 3: No? No, no, okay, no, it's more of a game.

539
00:27:12,880 --> 00:27:15,760
Speaker 4: Day thing because I mean I remember I don't remember

540
00:27:15,840 --> 00:27:19,600
Speaker 4: which game it was, but it was this year and

541
00:27:19,920 --> 00:27:23,159
Speaker 4: and you were starting, and there was just a play

542
00:27:24,160 --> 00:27:28,919
Speaker 4: where you locked on a guy and the play went behind,

543
00:27:28,960 --> 00:27:31,000
Speaker 4: but you got on that guy and you drove him

544
00:27:31,040 --> 00:27:32,040
Speaker 4: into the sideline.

545
00:27:33,160 --> 00:27:35,640
Speaker 2: Bay Was it Green Bay? So you remember the play,

546
00:27:35,680 --> 00:27:35,920
Speaker 2: don't you.

547
00:27:36,440 --> 00:27:40,120
Speaker 4: You took that guy like into the bench area, which

548
00:27:40,200 --> 00:27:41,720
Speaker 4: I don't know which team's bench it was.

549
00:27:41,840 --> 00:27:43,560
Speaker 2: I don't think it mattered to you.

550
00:27:43,560 --> 00:27:44,520
Speaker 3: No, it was our bench.

551
00:27:44,560 --> 00:27:46,879
Speaker 5: But yeah, it didn't matter to me, And so I

552
00:27:46,920 --> 00:27:48,480
Speaker 5: could have been surrounded by Packers.

553
00:27:48,480 --> 00:27:50,679
Speaker 3: It didn't matter odds.

554
00:27:50,760 --> 00:27:52,399
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, you'd have liked that.

555
00:27:52,760 --> 00:27:56,199
Speaker 4: So that that is football, Brock. You just lock on

556
00:27:56,359 --> 00:27:58,880
Speaker 4: and we're going to You've pancaked the guy yesterday.

557
00:28:00,000 --> 00:28:00,919

Speaker 5: blog versus Ken Lawn. I put him down. That was

561
00:28:12,240 --> 00:28:13,280
Speaker 5: that was electric for me.

00:35:01,480 --> 00:35:02,719
Speaker 5: the history of like what it.

638
00:35:02,600 --> 00:35:04,640
Speaker 3: Means to actually be a Dallas Cowboy.

Speaker 5: family and any you know, any of my friends, Like

641
00:35:09,680 --> 00:35:13,919
Speaker 5: they weren't necessarily Washington fans, probably right Washington or Panthers fans, right,

642
00:35:14,120 --> 00:35:18,239
Speaker 5: like obviously America's team. There's fans everywhere, but not really

643
00:35:18,239 --> 00:35:20,200
Speaker 5: anybody that I knew like growing up, So I didn't

644
00:35:20,239 --> 00:35:21,920
Speaker 5: really have like a tie like you said, until I

645
00:35:21,960 --> 00:35:23,600
Speaker 5: got here. But when you see guys like that and

646
00:35:23,640 --> 00:35:26,319
Speaker 5: you hear the stories because they spent some time with

647
00:35:26,400 --> 00:35:28,960
Speaker 5: us in OTAs too, like you really just have like

648
00:35:29,040 --> 00:35:31,200
Speaker 5: a deeper appreciation for really what it means to be

649
00:35:31,200 --> 00:35:32,040
Speaker 5: a Dallas cowboy.

650
00:35:32,239 --> 00:35:34,880

Speaker 5: older guys obviously, like Zach and Tyren, those former teammates

655
00:35:46,280 --> 00:35:47,879
Speaker 5: that I'm still still close with.

656
00:35:47,880 --> 00:35:48,360
Speaker 3: And talked to.

663
00:36:05,320 --> 00:36:06,560
Speaker 5: to talk to them as much as I can.

664
00:36:07,080 --> 00:36:10,239

00:36:18,760 --> 00:36:20,520
Speaker 4: Were you a pro football fan as a kid?

669
00:36:22,600 --> 00:36:25,439

671
00:36:28,480 --> 00:36:31,440
Speaker 2: You know, were there any offense what are you?

672
00:36:31,760 --> 00:36:34,040
Speaker 4: Was it clear from the time you started playing you're

673
00:36:34,160 --> 00:36:35,600
Speaker 4: you're going to be an offensive lineman?

674
00:36:36,640 --> 00:36:36,920
Speaker 11: Yeah?

675
00:36:36,960 --> 00:36:38,200
Speaker 3: I think so. Yeah.

676
00:36:38,480 --> 00:36:40,680
Speaker 5: I mean in elementary school you had to like be

677
00:36:40,760 --> 00:36:42,600
Speaker 5: under a certain weight to carry the ball, and I

678
00:36:42,640 --> 00:36:44,640
Speaker 5: was never under that, so I knew for a fact

679
00:36:44,760 --> 00:36:46,920
Speaker 5: I was for sure going to be a no alignments

680
00:36:47,239 --> 00:36:50,840
Speaker 5: football It's really all I know. Like my dad was

681
00:36:50,880 --> 00:36:54,200
Speaker 5: a college football coach growing up, so kind of it's

682
00:36:54,239 --> 00:36:55,760
Speaker 5: a football family in that regard.

683
00:36:55,840 --> 00:36:59,799
Speaker 3: And you know he coached me in elementary school. So yeah,

684
00:36:59,800 --> 00:37:00,600
Speaker 3: it's really all I know.

685
00:37:00,840 --> 00:37:06,479
Speaker 4: As you went through Virginia Tech and it became either

686
00:37:06,560 --> 00:37:08,640
Speaker 4: a parent or it occurred to you that, okay, I

687
00:37:09,000 --> 00:37:11,919
Speaker 4: might be able to do this pro football thing. Were

688
00:37:11,920 --> 00:37:15,160
Speaker 4: there were there any interior offensive I know you played

689
00:37:15,160 --> 00:37:18,240
Speaker 4: a little tackle, but especially interior offensive alignment.

690
00:37:18,320 --> 00:37:20,120
Speaker 2: You said, that's that guy I'd like to be like

691
00:37:20,200 --> 00:37:20,600
Speaker 2: that guy.

692
00:37:21,920 --> 00:37:22,440
Speaker 3: Yeah.

693
00:37:22,600 --> 00:37:25,080
Speaker 5: Ryan Jensen, who was the center for the Bucks for

694
00:37:25,120 --> 00:37:29,880
Speaker 5: a while, kind of liked him because obviously.

695
00:37:29,440 --> 00:37:30,520
Speaker 3: His like play style.

696
00:37:30,560 --> 00:37:33,840
Speaker 5: He was a physical and nasty guy, but he also

697
00:37:34,600 --> 00:37:39,799
Speaker 5: kind of an underdog D two player, drafted late, worked

698
00:37:39,880 --> 00:37:42,280
Speaker 5: himself into being a really good center in the NFL.

699
00:37:42,480 --> 00:37:45,920
Speaker 6: That's something like similar to your story as well. Undrafted

700
00:37:45,920 --> 00:37:48,799
Speaker 6: free agent in twenty twenty two and kind of having

701
00:37:48,800 --> 00:37:52,080
Speaker 6: a fight for opportunities. How have you kind of embraced

702
00:37:52,120 --> 00:37:53,799
Speaker 6: that underdog mentality?

703
00:37:54,480 --> 00:37:56,640
Speaker 3: Yeah, I love it. I feel like it's really kind

704
00:37:56,680 --> 00:38:01,240
Speaker 3: of all I know as well too, Like being in high.

705
00:38:01,080 --> 00:38:03,919
Speaker 5: School, I was kind of under recruited obviously I wanted

706
00:38:03,960 --> 00:38:06,920
Speaker 5: to go play like you know, power five Division one football,

707
00:38:07,040 --> 00:38:11,200
Speaker 5: ended up going to Coastal, got the opportunity to transfer

708
00:38:11,200 --> 00:38:15,239
Speaker 5: to Virginia Tech and then Yeah, no, just always having

709
00:38:15,239 --> 00:38:18,840
Speaker 5: that chip on my shoulder, being undrafted, knowing that nothing's

710
00:38:18,880 --> 00:38:21,120
Speaker 5: gonna be handed to me, you know, I gotta go

711
00:38:21,160 --> 00:38:23,719
Speaker 5: out and earn it every day. So yeah, it's just

712
00:38:23,800 --> 00:38:26,759
Speaker 5: kind of been my mantra kind of growing up the

713
00:38:26,760 --> 00:38:27,280
Speaker 5: whole time.

714
00:38:27,800 --> 00:38:32,000
Speaker 2: Did you think do you think that chip fuels football brock?

715
00:38:32,600 --> 00:38:34,480
Speaker 2: When did you when did you meet football?

716
00:38:34,520 --> 00:38:41,640
Speaker 5: Brock mm seventeen years old, early enrolled at Coastal Carolina.

717
00:38:42,360 --> 00:38:44,480
Speaker 5: Back when you could do board drills in practice, you know,

718
00:38:44,520 --> 00:38:45,600
Speaker 5: one on one board drills.

719
00:38:45,680 --> 00:38:46,920
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's when it started.

720
00:38:47,120 --> 00:38:49,520
Speaker 4: So you like that describe to the people who haven't

721
00:38:49,520 --> 00:38:51,440
Speaker 4: played the offensive line what a board drill is.

722
00:38:52,080 --> 00:38:52,239
Speaker 12: Uh?

723
00:38:52,320 --> 00:38:54,840
Speaker 5: Yeah, you got a no offensive lineman and a defensive

724
00:38:54,880 --> 00:38:57,000
Speaker 5: lineman lined up and you just go head to head.

725
00:38:57,040 --> 00:38:59,560
Speaker 3: First one to you know, drive the other one back wins.

726
00:39:00,200 --> 00:39:03,239
Speaker 3: You just smiled, yeah, back back or down on the

727
00:39:03,280 --> 00:39:07,719
Speaker 3: ground how like smiles what he says? Oh no, yeah,

728
00:39:07,719 --> 00:39:08,400
Speaker 3: because you can't.

729
00:39:09,000 --> 00:39:11,680
Speaker 5: I'm pretty sure it's banned in college now. But like

730
00:39:11,719 --> 00:39:15,240
Speaker 5: when I was in school, like we used to basically.

731
00:39:14,760 --> 00:39:17,080
Speaker 3: In spring ball, we would do like kind of a tournaments.

732
00:39:17,160 --> 00:39:19,360
Speaker 5: You would put out, you know, your best five ozer lineman,

733
00:39:19,480 --> 00:39:20,880
Speaker 5: best five d lineman, kind.

734
00:39:20,719 --> 00:39:22,799
Speaker 3: Of work your way in and we would have the

735
00:39:22,840 --> 00:39:26,160
Speaker 3: whole team surrounded us. So it was like a backyard

736
00:39:26,160 --> 00:39:27,279
Speaker 3: brawl for sure. It was.

737
00:39:27,360 --> 00:39:30,320
Speaker 2: It sounds like a medieval jousting.

738
00:39:30,560 --> 00:39:33,160
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, it was awesome. I loved it.

739
00:39:33,320 --> 00:39:36,680
Speaker 6: How many times do you find like defensive linemen saying

740
00:39:36,760 --> 00:39:39,719
Speaker 6: like I do not want to go up against this man?

741
00:39:39,880 --> 00:39:40,640
Speaker 3: Brock Hoffman.

742
00:39:40,960 --> 00:39:43,680
Speaker 5: Yeah, I feel like they're more annoyed from hearing me

743
00:39:43,800 --> 00:39:45,480
Speaker 5: talk the whole game than anything.

744
00:39:45,719 --> 00:39:47,080
Speaker 3: So I don't know.

745
00:39:47,200 --> 00:39:49,920
Speaker 5: I feel like you can definitely tell I played Washington

746
00:39:49,960 --> 00:39:52,120
Speaker 5: a lot, so that's like the team I kind of referenced.

747
00:39:52,160 --> 00:39:54,279
Speaker 5: You know, yesterday was my fourth time playing them, so

748
00:39:54,719 --> 00:39:56,280
Speaker 5: you can kind of see it on their faces.

749
00:39:56,280 --> 00:39:57,920
Speaker 3: They're like, Okay, here we go here.

750
00:39:58,960 --> 00:40:02,879
Speaker 4: So I'm glad you brought up the talking. When did

751
00:40:02,920 --> 00:40:04,640
Speaker 4: you just always do that? Did you start doing that

752
00:40:04,680 --> 00:40:05,800
Speaker 4: when you start playing football?

753
00:40:07,320 --> 00:40:09,560
Speaker 3: Yeah? Nah, I mean I kind of did.

754
00:40:11,680 --> 00:40:14,600
Speaker 5: It really took over I would say my sophomore year

755
00:40:14,600 --> 00:40:17,879
Speaker 5: at Coastal. I don't know why, but it just did.

756
00:40:18,040 --> 00:40:20,040
Speaker 5: It kind of happened, and it kind of grew as

757
00:40:20,040 --> 00:40:21,000
Speaker 5: I went to Virginia Tech.

758
00:40:21,000 --> 00:40:23,080
Speaker 4: All right, now, again, we're going to address this to

759
00:40:23,120 --> 00:40:26,120
Speaker 4: the people in the audience who have heard about trash talking,

760
00:40:26,440 --> 00:40:29,680
Speaker 4: but they've never been down in the football trenches. They

761
00:40:29,680 --> 00:40:35,560
Speaker 4: don't really understand it. Obviously, some of the language you

762
00:40:35,600 --> 00:40:37,040
Speaker 4: can't use on this show.

763
00:40:37,360 --> 00:40:39,920
Speaker 2: But how does it begin? Do you come out? Do

764
00:40:40,000 --> 00:40:43,440
Speaker 2: you start thinking about that when you're putting on your uniform?

765
00:40:43,480 --> 00:40:45,360
Speaker 4: And I'm going to get in this guy's head or

766
00:40:45,400 --> 00:40:47,839
Speaker 4: does it just kind of flow or how does that work?

767
00:40:48,239 --> 00:40:49,240
Speaker 3: Each game's different.

768
00:40:49,719 --> 00:40:52,440
Speaker 5: I feel like if I've played a guy before, or

769
00:40:52,440 --> 00:40:54,040
Speaker 5: if I haven't played a guy before, it.

770
00:40:54,040 --> 00:40:55,080
Speaker 3: Kind of just flows, right.

771
00:40:55,120 --> 00:40:58,000
Speaker 5: I kind of just get into the game, see if

772
00:40:58,040 --> 00:41:00,360
Speaker 5: I can kind of mess with them a different blows

773
00:41:00,400 --> 00:41:04,320
Speaker 5: and kind of see what makes him, I guess, get triggered,

774
00:41:04,400 --> 00:41:07,080
Speaker 5: you know, like how he's like how I annoy him.

775
00:41:07,719 --> 00:41:10,560
Speaker 3: But no, if I've played him before, like I already.

776
00:41:10,239 --> 00:41:12,279
Speaker 5: Kind of know how it's gonna go, right, So I

777
00:41:12,440 --> 00:41:15,680
Speaker 5: just think about it, know what's worked in the past,

778
00:41:15,680 --> 00:41:16,440
Speaker 5: and just go from there.

779
00:41:16,520 --> 00:41:19,640
Speaker 2: If you've played him before, then he knows what's coming.

780
00:41:19,760 --> 00:41:19,920
Speaker 10: Yea.

781
00:41:20,400 --> 00:41:24,600
Speaker 4: Does it ever occur that something along these lines happens?

782
00:41:25,200 --> 00:41:27,719
Speaker 2: Maybe the first or second play? All right, I can

783
00:41:27,400 --> 00:41:30,279
Speaker 2: I don't want to hear your noise today. You ever

784
00:41:30,360 --> 00:41:33,480
Speaker 2: get any of that? Because they know it's coming.

785
00:41:33,640 --> 00:41:34,560
Speaker 3: No, they know it's coming.

786
00:41:34,680 --> 00:41:38,040
Speaker 5: I mean yesterday, like some of the guys that have

787
00:41:38,120 --> 00:41:41,680
Speaker 5: talked tried to talk sorry that a tongue twister tried

788
00:41:41,719 --> 00:41:44,480
Speaker 5: to talk trash back to me in the past, like

789
00:41:44,920 --> 00:41:45,640
Speaker 5: weren't saying.

790
00:41:45,400 --> 00:41:47,640
Speaker 3: A word yesterday, So I already knew it was kind

791
00:41:47,640 --> 00:41:49,360
Speaker 3: of kind of knew what it was.

792
00:41:49,440 --> 00:41:52,040
Speaker 4: Well, you you must take pride in that that means

793
00:41:52,080 --> 00:41:53,399
Speaker 4: that they have broke them.

794
00:41:56,160 --> 00:41:57,880
Speaker 2: Well, you have at least got their attention.

795
00:41:58,080 --> 00:41:59,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, for sure.

796
00:41:59,760 --> 00:42:03,200
Speaker 2: It's psychology courses in your background.

797
00:42:03,400 --> 00:42:03,680
Speaker 3: None.

798
00:42:03,920 --> 00:42:07,279
Speaker 4: This interest is so interesting that you are aware of

799
00:42:07,360 --> 00:42:10,520
Speaker 4: looking for what will trigger a guy, which, if you

800
00:42:10,600 --> 00:42:13,320
Speaker 4: trigger him, that means he's not thinking about.

801
00:42:13,040 --> 00:42:13,800
Speaker 2: What he's doing.

802
00:42:14,080 --> 00:42:16,319
Speaker 3: That's really the goal. It's like, get you more worried

803
00:42:16,360 --> 00:42:17,680
Speaker 3: about me than the ball carrier.

804
00:42:18,400 --> 00:42:21,960
Speaker 6: That's interesting. How do you like tow that line of

805
00:42:22,080 --> 00:42:25,480
Speaker 6: like not doing too much to get obviously flagged by

806
00:42:25,480 --> 00:42:28,400
Speaker 6: the reps, but like still making sure you're staying in

807
00:42:28,440 --> 00:42:29,160
Speaker 6: guys heads.

808
00:42:29,360 --> 00:42:31,440
Speaker 3: Yeah, I feel like it was definitely a learning process

809
00:42:31,440 --> 00:42:32,240
Speaker 3: for me. In college.

810
00:42:32,239 --> 00:42:34,960
Speaker 5: I definitely got my fair share of personal fouls, a

811
00:42:35,000 --> 00:42:37,120
Speaker 5: lot more than I have in the NFL.

812
00:42:37,520 --> 00:42:40,200
Speaker 3: I'm pretty sure my freshman year in college, I got

813
00:42:40,239 --> 00:42:41,279
Speaker 3: like seven that year.

814
00:42:41,360 --> 00:42:42,840
Speaker 4: Okay, well, you must have been a hell of a

815
00:42:42,920 --> 00:42:45,200
Speaker 4: player if you were still playing at.

816
00:42:45,000 --> 00:42:48,200
Speaker 2: Getting seven personal fouls. There's a lot of coaches which say.

817
00:42:48,120 --> 00:42:49,720
Speaker 3: Okay, especially as a true freshman.

818
00:42:49,800 --> 00:42:52,560
Speaker 4: Yet, right, you come sit down over here and think

819
00:42:52,640 --> 00:42:54,120
Speaker 4: about what you've done, young.

820
00:42:53,920 --> 00:42:57,040
Speaker 5: Man, yeah, right, No, it's definitely been a learning process,

821
00:42:57,080 --> 00:42:58,280
Speaker 5: but I definitely learned my lesson.

822
00:42:58,280 --> 00:42:59,880
Speaker 3: I feel like in college, how many you.

823
00:43:00,280 --> 00:43:02,160
Speaker 2: Haven't had that many in the NFL?

824
00:43:02,320 --> 00:43:04,040
Speaker 3: Have you personal fouls?

825
00:43:04,160 --> 00:43:08,120
Speaker 5: Yeah, only one that I can remember, but it was offsetting,

826
00:43:08,840 --> 00:43:11,360
Speaker 5: so like it never had that I have, it doesn't count.

827
00:43:11,440 --> 00:43:12,200
Speaker 3: Yeah, It's kind of.

828
00:43:12,160 --> 00:43:14,919
Speaker 6: Like that George Pickens thing where he does just enough,

829
00:43:14,960 --> 00:43:17,239
Speaker 6: but he draws pis all the time.

830
00:43:17,280 --> 00:43:18,120
Speaker 7: I think that's pretty cool.

831
00:43:18,120 --> 00:43:21,240
Speaker 4: This is very very interesting. We're gonna take our last break.

832

865
00:47:44,360 --> 00:47:46,520
Speaker 2: the break then you can read that and then you

866
00:47:46,719 --> 00:47:49,319
Speaker 2: just carry on And I completely blew that up. I

867
00:47:49,440 --> 00:47:51,120
Speaker 2: just didn't even have a.

868
00:47:51,160 --> 00:47:53,120
Speaker 4: Care for any of that. It shows you that I'm

869
00:47:53,120 --> 00:47:55,279
Speaker 4: a little bit tired. Okay, let's say a question over here.

870
00:47:56,080 --> 00:47:58,360
Speaker 7: Good evening brought. My name's Rambo.

871
00:47:59,160 --> 00:47:59,480
Speaker 3: Rambo.

872
00:48:00,520 --> 00:48:02,160
Speaker 7: So, yesterday, when Jacob.

873
00:48:02,000 --> 00:48:08,080
Speaker 11: Martin yanked Dax's helmet, I was expecting fist to be flying,

874
00:48:08,800 --> 00:48:11,840
Speaker 11: some physical altercation going on, some trash talking.

875
00:48:12,719 --> 00:48:14,080
Speaker 7: How did you guys hold back on that?

876
00:48:14,760 --> 00:48:14,960
Speaker 3: Yeah?

877
00:48:15,040 --> 00:48:17,320
Speaker 5: I think, I mean, first of all, I need to

878
00:48:17,360 --> 00:48:19,760
Speaker 5: do a better job blocking in that situation. Since second

879
00:48:19,760 --> 00:48:22,680
Speaker 5: of all, once we saw the flag go star, we knew,

880
00:48:22,800 --> 00:48:26,000
Speaker 5: like obviously the penalty was on them, So I mean

881
00:48:26,200 --> 00:48:29,239
Speaker 5: there was definitely some words said, but yeah, we weren't

882
00:48:29,200 --> 00:48:31,160
Speaker 5: going to do anything to offset that because we definitely

883
00:48:31,160 --> 00:48:32,040
Speaker 5: need some momentum.

884
00:48:32,320 --> 00:48:37,600
Speaker 7: Was that something that drove I guess more a physical

885
00:48:37,640 --> 00:48:39,839
Speaker 7: turning point for the rest of the game. Do you

886
00:48:39,880 --> 00:48:40,560
Speaker 7: think nah?

887
00:48:40,760 --> 00:48:42,800
Speaker 3: I wouldn't say that was the turning point. I felt

888
00:48:42,800 --> 00:48:45,520
Speaker 3: like we we kind of came out with that mindset initially.

889
00:48:45,920 --> 00:48:49,200
Speaker 5: Obviously, like we said before, there's adversity in every game,

890
00:48:49,280 --> 00:48:52,160
Speaker 5: so it's just it was just about bouncing back from that.

891
00:48:54,000 --> 00:48:55,239
Speaker 2: I think one of the words that.

892
00:48:57,040 --> 00:49:01,080
Speaker 4: Coach Schottenheimer has used since the sea and started, maybe

893
00:49:01,120 --> 00:49:03,600
Speaker 4: even going back to camp more than any other's consistency

894
00:49:04,320 --> 00:49:07,160
Speaker 4: and it's as a team, it's something clearly you haven't

895
00:49:07,160 --> 00:49:10,399
Speaker 4: had and you're looking for it, and it's still there's

896
00:49:10,400 --> 00:49:17,120
Speaker 4: still an evolution different staffs. Oh, which reminds me, watch

897
00:49:17,160 --> 00:49:19,759
Speaker 4: me interrupt myself this time. We've heard a lot about

898
00:49:19,800 --> 00:49:23,160
Speaker 4: how the defensive players who have been around a couple

899
00:49:23,200 --> 00:49:25,800
Speaker 4: of years, they've got their third coordinator in three.

900
00:49:25,640 --> 00:49:27,320
Speaker 2: Years, third different scheme.

901
00:49:27,440 --> 00:49:31,279
Speaker 4: That's not easy in your fourth year.

902
00:49:31,280 --> 00:49:33,520
Speaker 2: How many offensive line coaches have you had?

903
00:49:34,880 --> 00:49:39,160
Speaker 3: Four? Four three in Dallas, one in Cleveland.

904
00:49:39,239 --> 00:49:42,480
Speaker 4: Yeah, so please tell us about that. When the offensive

905
00:49:42,520 --> 00:49:46,200
Speaker 4: line coach changes, the scheme might not change, but a

906
00:49:46,239 --> 00:49:48,920
Speaker 4: lot of them believe in different techniques than the guy

907
00:49:48,960 --> 00:49:51,080
Speaker 4: they followed, Right, how does that work?

908
00:49:51,360 --> 00:49:51,600
Speaker 3: Yeah?

909
00:49:51,760 --> 00:49:54,040
Speaker 5: No, Honestly, I feel like I've been pretty fortunate to

910
00:49:54,080 --> 00:49:56,320
Speaker 5: have some really good offensive line coaches in my career

911
00:49:56,360 --> 00:49:59,400
Speaker 5: that kind of all come from that same tree. But

912
00:49:59,440 --> 00:50:03,760
Speaker 5: there are different and things that certain coaches focus on,

913
00:50:03,920 --> 00:50:06,359
Speaker 5: whether that's different techniques or kind of how they viewed

914
00:50:06,400 --> 00:50:09,600
Speaker 5: different blocking schemes. So yeah, there's definitely an adjustment piece

915
00:50:09,640 --> 00:50:12,160
Speaker 5: to it, and really just kind of the familiarity with

916
00:50:12,239 --> 00:50:14,279
Speaker 5: like the person, you know what I mean, outside of

917
00:50:14,320 --> 00:50:18,520
Speaker 5: just the coach, Right, so, but yeah, I mean, I

918
00:50:18,560 --> 00:50:21,720
Speaker 5: feel like it's been a pretty smooth transition with coach.

919
00:50:21,600 --> 00:50:25,000
Speaker 4: Riley, and Connor Riley has come from Kansas State, is

920
00:50:25,320 --> 00:50:28,280
Speaker 4: clearly one of the top offensive line coaches in college football.

921
00:50:28,360 --> 00:50:31,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, how's that gone?

922
00:50:31,560 --> 00:50:36,160
Speaker 4: How is he different than the previous line coaches you've

923
00:50:36,160 --> 00:50:36,680
Speaker 4: had here?

924
00:50:37,080 --> 00:50:37,319
Speaker 3: Yeah?

925
00:50:37,360 --> 00:50:39,560
Speaker 5: I would just say, like, obviously, I had a really

926
00:50:39,640 --> 00:50:41,040
Speaker 5: close relationship with Solaria.

927
00:50:41,120 --> 00:50:42,600
Speaker 3: I thought he was a really good old line coach.

928
00:50:42,640 --> 00:50:46,800
Speaker 5: But I feel like, you know, Coach Riley definitely hammers

929
00:50:46,840 --> 00:50:52,160
Speaker 5: more of those fundamentals and techniques, different things drill workwise

930
00:50:52,200 --> 00:50:54,719
Speaker 5: that we're really trying to really ingrain.

931
00:50:54,440 --> 00:50:55,960
Speaker 3: In us to where when we get on that field,

932
00:50:55,960 --> 00:50:56,960
Speaker 3: it's just second nature.

933
00:50:57,120 --> 00:50:59,960
Speaker 6: I remember last year you mentioning how you had grown

934
00:51:00,280 --> 00:51:03,000
Speaker 6: of reading the defense in fronts a lot more. Where

935
00:51:03,000 --> 00:51:05,080
Speaker 6: do you feel like your area of growth has taken

936
00:51:05,120 --> 00:51:06,960
Speaker 6: that step forward under Connor Riley?

937
00:51:08,320 --> 00:51:10,719
Speaker 5: Honestly, I would just say, like the ability to kind

938
00:51:10,719 --> 00:51:12,360
Speaker 5: of play free, Like when I get out there, I

939
00:51:12,360 --> 00:51:14,040
Speaker 5: feel like we've drilled a lot of things, so I

940
00:51:14,040 --> 00:51:16,359
Speaker 5: don't really I'm not really thinking about, you know, oh

941
00:51:16,400 --> 00:51:17,680
Speaker 5: I need to take this step or I need to

942
00:51:17,680 --> 00:51:18,000
Speaker 5: take that.

943
00:51:18,120 --> 00:51:19,520
Speaker 3: Like obviously, there's things that you got.

944
00:51:19,440 --> 00:51:21,920
Speaker 5: To clean up throughout the game, but you know, just

945
00:51:21,920 --> 00:51:23,280
Speaker 5: the ability to play free.

946
00:51:23,520 --> 00:51:26,680
Speaker 2: Okay, let's go down here, Brad Nicole.

947
00:51:26,840 --> 00:51:30,360

954
00:51:51,760 --> 00:51:52,640
Speaker 11: did you think.

955
00:51:52,440 --> 00:51:53,760
Speaker 2: It would be this big?

956
00:51:54,080 --> 00:51:56,400
Speaker 11: And what was it like to put that star on

957
00:51:57,160 --> 00:51:59,680
Speaker 11: in San Francisco for that first time?

958
00:52:00,360 --> 00:52:00,560
Speaker 3: Oh?

959
00:52:00,920 --> 00:52:03,960
Speaker 5: Yeah, No, I did not think Cowboys Nation was this

960
00:52:04,120 --> 00:52:05,120
Speaker 5: big or crazy.

961
00:52:05,160 --> 00:52:07,239
Speaker 3: But it's obviously crazy in a good way, you know

962
00:52:07,239 --> 00:52:08,760
Speaker 3: what I mean. Obviously all the love.

963
00:52:08,640 --> 00:52:14,319
Speaker 5: And support really across the whole country. But yeah, it

964
00:52:14,360 --> 00:52:17,640
Speaker 5: was a very very special moment. I remember talking about

965
00:52:17,680 --> 00:52:19,800
Speaker 5: it with my family after I put my first uniform

966
00:52:19,840 --> 00:52:22,520
Speaker 5: on as a Dallas Cowboy, like wow, Like I'm I

967
00:52:22,600 --> 00:52:24,360
Speaker 5: really played for the Cowboys.

968
00:52:23,880 --> 00:52:24,040
Speaker 11: You know.

969
00:52:24,160 --> 00:52:25,120
Speaker 3: So it was a cool moment.

970
00:52:25,239 --> 00:52:27,600
Speaker 2: And what was it like for them? I mean, you've

971
00:52:27,640 --> 00:52:29,400
Speaker 2: been you put it in Cleveland Browns.

972
00:52:29,880 --> 00:52:33,680
Speaker 5: Yeah, No, I definitely think it was kind of surreal

973
00:52:33,760 --> 00:52:36,799
Speaker 5: for my dad because he didn't grow up a Cowboys fan,

974
00:52:36,840 --> 00:52:39,319
Speaker 5: but obviously he knew, you know, he was growing up

975
00:52:39,440 --> 00:52:41,960
Speaker 5: during those prime years of the Cowboys, so it was

976
00:52:42,000 --> 00:52:43,719
Speaker 5: really cool for him to see, you know, his son

977
00:52:43,800 --> 00:52:44,720
Speaker 5: be a Dallas Cowboy.

978
00:52:45,440 --> 00:52:47,279
Speaker 4: Okay, I was having some fun with you before about

979
00:52:47,320 --> 00:52:52,439
Speaker 4: having a cage match with Cooper Bebee and but they

980
00:52:53,160 --> 00:52:55,840
Speaker 4: they said today they're opening the twenty one day.

981
00:52:55,719 --> 00:53:02,520
Speaker 2: Window for him? Who else? Over him? Overshown, Savone, Rebel, Yeah,

982
00:53:02,600 --> 00:53:08,880
Speaker 2: and Revel. So the expectation would be, if we hold Coach.

983
00:53:08,680 --> 00:53:12,960
Speaker 4: Schottenheimer at his word that perhaps for the game coming

984
00:53:13,000 --> 00:53:15,440
Speaker 4: out of the buy in Las Vegas, that baby would

985
00:53:15,480 --> 00:53:17,600
Speaker 4: come back into the starting lineup.

986
00:53:18,360 --> 00:53:19,759
Speaker 2: What will it be like for you?

987
00:53:22,320 --> 00:53:24,600
Speaker 5: I guess, yeah, I mean, I guess we'll just kind

988
00:53:24,640 --> 00:53:26,080
Speaker 5: of deal with when we get there, you know, Like

989
00:53:26,120 --> 00:53:28,600
Speaker 5: I said, I mean, have you thought about it? Not

990
00:53:28,719 --> 00:53:31,960
Speaker 5: really honestly, Like I've kind of just really taken it

991
00:53:31,960 --> 00:53:35,279
Speaker 5: week by week, like and I'm not like fluffing that either,

992
00:53:35,400 --> 00:53:38,960
Speaker 5: Like I'm dead serious. I'll say that, like I really

993
00:53:39,040 --> 00:53:40,839
Speaker 5: just take each week for what it is and kind

994
00:53:40,840 --> 00:53:44,799
Speaker 5: of look at the opportunity and how can I maximize it.

995
00:53:45,160 --> 00:53:48,000
Speaker 6: I feel like that's kind of like the theme throughout

996
00:53:48,000 --> 00:53:50,440
Speaker 6: the entire team, and it goes to show like you

997
00:53:50,480 --> 00:53:54,439
Speaker 6: guys are regardless of whatever happens, whoever starting, you guys

998
00:53:54,480 --> 00:53:57,799
Speaker 6: support each other still. So I do love that. I

999
00:53:57,800 --> 00:54:01,360
Speaker 6: wanted to ask you one last question and I actually

1000
00:54:01,400 --> 00:54:02,440
Speaker 6: lost it and I hate it.

1001
00:54:02,520 --> 00:54:03,000
Speaker 3: Why did I do?

1002
00:54:03,120 --> 00:54:03,239
Speaker 4: Well?

1003
00:54:03,280 --> 00:54:05,080
Speaker 2: I'll ask you something and it'll cut back here.

1004
00:54:05,200 --> 00:54:07,680
Speaker 4: Let me just tell you something from experience that will

1005
00:54:07,680 --> 00:54:08,280
Speaker 4: happen again.

1006
00:54:08,600 --> 00:54:10,680
Speaker 2: And usually they will leave, they'll.

1007
00:54:10,440 --> 00:54:12,600
Speaker 4: Go out one direction and they'll make a big circle

1008
00:54:12,680 --> 00:54:14,719
Speaker 4: and you know when, but it'll come back and then

1009
00:54:14,760 --> 00:54:18,319
Speaker 4: just jump right in. Okay, So dude, what's up with

1010
00:54:18,400 --> 00:54:21,399
Speaker 4: the snaps? What's going on? That's two games in a row.

1011
00:54:21,680 --> 00:54:23,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't know.

1012
00:54:23,080 --> 00:54:25,160
Speaker 5: I'm going to take the responsibility for it, though, because

1013
00:54:25,160 --> 00:54:27,359
Speaker 5: I'm the one that is obviously snapping the ball.

1014
00:54:27,800 --> 00:54:29,160
Speaker 2: But was it your vault or hitchbock.

1015
00:54:29,480 --> 00:54:33,640
Speaker 3: I'm going to take the responsibility. I heard it, so yeah,

1016
00:54:33,680 --> 00:54:35,600
Speaker 3: but no, it's on me. It's my job, so it's

1017
00:54:35,640 --> 00:54:36,359
Speaker 3: got to be better.

1018
00:54:36,520 --> 00:54:37,040
Speaker 6: I've got it.

1019
00:54:37,520 --> 00:54:39,080
Speaker 3: I took you to cut back.

1020
00:54:39,239 --> 00:54:41,480
Speaker 6: He talked about how you spent your Saturday. I want

1021
00:54:41,520 --> 00:54:43,320
Speaker 6: to know a little bit more about that, since not

1022
00:54:43,400 --> 00:54:47,400
Speaker 6: many people obviously know about you, know, how much do

1023
00:54:47,480 --> 00:54:48,400
Speaker 6: you do in the community.

1024
00:54:49,520 --> 00:54:52,680
Speaker 5: Yeah, no, I mean are you saying specifically, Yeah, Like

1025
00:54:53,280 --> 00:54:56,719
Speaker 5: I mean, for me, it's all about giving back. I

1026
00:54:56,760 --> 00:54:58,760
Speaker 5: did a lot of that at Virginia Tech as well.

1027
00:55:00,320 --> 00:55:02,880
Speaker 5: Really in terms of education with you know, growing up,

1028
00:55:02,920 --> 00:55:04,879
Speaker 5: my mom was a school teacher, so I've always thought,

1029
00:55:05,320 --> 00:55:07,040
Speaker 5: you know, education is very.

1030
00:55:06,920 --> 00:55:09,759
Speaker 3: Important, especially in today's world and with the youth, and

1031
00:55:10,960 --> 00:55:13,120
Speaker 3: you know, just knowing that you can really.

1032
00:55:14,680 --> 00:55:17,160
Speaker 5: Change your life and change you know, really kind of

1033
00:55:17,160 --> 00:55:19,759
Speaker 5: your whole family's life if you focus on, you know,

1034
00:55:20,120 --> 00:55:23,560
Speaker 5: achieving your goals through education, doing whatever you need to do.

1035
00:55:23,719 --> 00:55:25,160
Speaker 2: You told us a story, and we got about a

1036
00:55:25,160 --> 00:55:27,000
Speaker 2: minute left. You told us the story last.

1037
00:55:26,800 --> 00:55:30,920
Speaker 4: Year kind of got out in the media that growing up,

1038
00:55:30,920 --> 00:55:33,040
Speaker 4: when you were first starting to play your your.

1039
00:55:32,880 --> 00:55:34,680
Speaker 2: Mom was kind of on you.

1040
00:55:35,280 --> 00:55:38,600
Speaker 4: And we won't use the word that she said, but

1041
00:55:38,680 --> 00:55:41,080
Speaker 4: she she suggested you were a little soft.

1042
00:55:41,160 --> 00:55:43,279
Speaker 2: As what how old were you, seventh grade something like that.

1043
00:55:44,200 --> 00:55:46,520
Speaker 5: I think I was in fourth grade, fourth grade, fourth

1044
00:55:46,560 --> 00:55:47,080
Speaker 5: or fifth grade.

1045
00:55:47,160 --> 00:55:49,840
Speaker 2: Okay, and has that that ever come up again?

00:55:59,000 --> 00:56:00,680
Speaker 2: How did you make sure?

1051
00:56:02,480 --> 00:56:06,319
Speaker 5: I think, just like my like work ethic and just

1052
00:56:06,400 --> 00:56:09,640
Speaker 5: like knowing like I'm gonna play this game one way,

1053
00:56:09,760 --> 00:56:11,520
Speaker 5: and it's kind of how.

1054
00:56:11,400 --> 00:56:12,239
Speaker 3: I've always done it.
