7
00:00:22,920 --> 00:00:25,600
Speaker 1: Couch tilting a little bit, we know why this this

8
00:00:25,720 --> 00:00:29,720
Speaker 1: man is huge. How often do you like when you're

9
00:00:29,720 --> 00:00:32,280
Speaker 1: just walking around town and all that, Like you get

10
00:00:32,520 --> 00:00:35,480
Speaker 1: the gawkers, you get people like that guy must play

11
00:00:35,479 --> 00:00:37,680
Speaker 1: football kind of thing, like what's what's the reaction?

12
00:00:38,080 --> 00:00:39,800
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean I get it all. I mean, it's

13
00:00:39,840 --> 00:00:42,680
Speaker 3: definitely too hard to hide, so I get all the

14
00:00:42,760 --> 00:00:45,600
Speaker 3: questions like you know, what's the weather like, like what

15
00:00:46,000 --> 00:00:46,360
Speaker 3: do you play?

16
00:00:46,640 --> 00:00:48,879
Speaker 2: I'll resist stuff like that. I'll resist that what's the

17
00:00:48,880 --> 00:00:49,720
Speaker 2: weather like that up there?

18
00:00:49,760 --> 00:00:49,919
Speaker 3: Joke?

19
00:00:51,800 --> 00:00:54,200
Speaker 4: You know. We you know, of course Atlanta Brown was

20
00:00:54,240 --> 00:00:56,080
Speaker 4: here and he was he was He's been on the

21
00:00:56,240 --> 00:00:59,360
Speaker 4: on lash as well, so he rivals that. But you know,

22
00:01:00,160 --> 00:01:03,480
Speaker 4: just kind of curious, like for you as being a

23
00:01:03,520 --> 00:01:06,120
Speaker 4: big tackle like that, is that is part of the

24
00:01:06,160 --> 00:01:07,080
Speaker 4: strength of your game?

25
00:01:07,160 --> 00:01:07,360
Speaker 3: Man?

26
00:01:07,480 --> 00:01:10,400
Speaker 4: Is your size? Orlando was the same way I brought

27
00:01:10,440 --> 00:01:11,959
Speaker 4: him up, But like, how do you use that to

28
00:01:12,000 --> 00:01:12,760
Speaker 4: your advantage?

29
00:01:13,200 --> 00:01:16,279
Speaker 3: I think, uh, you know, obviously just being bigger than everyone,

30
00:01:16,360 --> 00:01:20,440
Speaker 3: having the length on everyone, using my arms and the

31
00:01:20,720 --> 00:01:23,880
Speaker 3: my wingspans is just you know, it's my advantage because

32
00:01:24,640 --> 00:01:27,560
Speaker 3: obviously I have longer arms than everybody else, but also

33
00:01:27,680 --> 00:01:29,800
Speaker 3: just being bigger, it's easier to move people out the way,

34
00:01:31,040 --> 00:01:34,200
Speaker 3: it's easier to absorb blocks. So it's definitely advantages to it.

35
00:01:34,280 --> 00:01:37,160
Speaker 3: But you know, definitely some things to work on as well.

36
00:01:37,760 --> 00:01:39,920
Speaker 2: So as we can see, you're you're working hard.

37
00:01:39,920 --> 00:01:42,440
Speaker 1: We got the towel out, You're working hard in this

38
00:01:42,480 --> 00:01:43,480
Speaker 1: all season program.

39
00:01:43,560 --> 00:01:44,319
Speaker 2: Just how's it going.

40
00:01:44,440 --> 00:01:47,440
Speaker 3: It's all good. So after I came back from my

41
00:01:47,520 --> 00:01:50,560
Speaker 3: off season travels, uh, just came back here for about

42
00:01:50,560 --> 00:01:52,760
Speaker 3: a month in a bit and been here ever since.

43
00:01:52,800 --> 00:01:55,880
Speaker 3: So it's really just picking up where he started.

44
00:01:55,760 --> 00:01:58,400
Speaker 1: Right and obviously going into a big year three? Is

45
00:01:58,440 --> 00:02:01,720
Speaker 1: that kind of on your mind? You know, Morgan traded,

46
00:02:01,920 --> 00:02:04,279
Speaker 1: there's an opening it right tackle and where you stepped

47
00:02:04,320 --> 00:02:06,560
Speaker 1: in last year too? How much is that kind of

48
00:02:06,560 --> 00:02:08,520
Speaker 1: playing into your mind? Like all right, I got I

49
00:02:08,520 --> 00:02:10,079
Speaker 1: have an opportunity here, let's run with it.

50
00:02:10,560 --> 00:02:13,160
Speaker 3: It plays a lot I mean, this is everything I wanted.

51
00:02:13,280 --> 00:02:15,519
Speaker 3: I have an opportunity to compete at right tackle and

52
00:02:15,840 --> 00:02:20,000
Speaker 3: you know, hopefully securing that spot throughout camp. But yeah,

53
00:02:20,040 --> 00:02:22,280
Speaker 3: I mean that's in the four front of my mind

54
00:02:22,320 --> 00:02:24,000
Speaker 3: every time I come into the building. Is just you know,

55
00:02:24,400 --> 00:02:26,640
Speaker 3: working hard and making sure I'm doing everything I can

56
00:02:26,720 --> 00:02:28,240
Speaker 3: to put myself in the best position.

57
00:02:29,040 --> 00:02:31,360
Speaker 4: Where were you when you found out that Morgan had

58
00:02:31,360 --> 00:02:31,840
Speaker 4: been traded?

59
00:02:32,080 --> 00:02:34,200
Speaker 3: Oh? I was here actually, And what.

60
00:02:34,320 --> 00:02:37,799
Speaker 4: Was like take me through when finding out and kind

61
00:02:37,800 --> 00:02:40,040
Speaker 4: of your whole thought process as you as you got

62
00:02:40,040 --> 00:02:40,800
Speaker 4: that news.

63
00:02:41,000 --> 00:02:45,200
Speaker 3: Immediately, it was kind of a shocked, kind of sad,

64
00:02:45,280 --> 00:02:47,080
Speaker 3: just because you know, I got close to Morgan throughout

65
00:02:47,080 --> 00:02:49,560
Speaker 3: the seasons and really learned a lot from him just

66
00:02:49,560 --> 00:02:51,840
Speaker 3: being him, being an older VET and you know, just

67
00:02:51,840 --> 00:02:55,280
Speaker 3: watching him practice, prepare and play really just helped me

68
00:02:55,720 --> 00:02:59,400
Speaker 3: mold my game. So definitely, you know, that hurt a

69
00:02:59,400 --> 00:03:02,080
Speaker 3: little bit, but also saw it as a great opportunity

70
00:03:02,080 --> 00:03:04,480
Speaker 3: for myself and I'm grateful for it.

71
00:03:04,760 --> 00:03:06,920
Speaker 4: Does that mean something like you're a young player and

72
00:03:06,919 --> 00:03:09,799
Speaker 4: you've had some opportunities to play, you know, in your

73
00:03:09,840 --> 00:03:12,640
Speaker 4: in your first two years, but you know, part of

74
00:03:12,680 --> 00:03:15,680
Speaker 4: the reason that the Grave has made the trade is

75
00:03:15,680 --> 00:03:17,679
Speaker 4: that they've got confidence of you and that you've got

76
00:03:17,680 --> 00:03:20,400
Speaker 4: this opportunity here to step in and compete to potentially

77
00:03:20,440 --> 00:03:23,760
Speaker 4: win that job. You know, it does that that vote

78
00:03:23,800 --> 00:03:27,079
Speaker 4: of confidence in you mean something from them.

79
00:03:27,120 --> 00:03:30,240
Speaker 3: Definitely, just you know, having that support and knowing that

80
00:03:30,240 --> 00:03:33,480
Speaker 3: the coach is believing me, especially Coach d He's always

81
00:03:33,480 --> 00:03:36,520
Speaker 3: been encouraging throughout the years. It's just great to have

82
00:03:36,560 --> 00:03:38,840
Speaker 3: that support and knowing that, you know, I can lean

83
00:03:38,880 --> 00:03:41,200
Speaker 3: on him for advice whenever I'm you know, stuck or

84
00:03:41,840 --> 00:03:45,560
Speaker 3: need helping with anything. But yeah, just super grateful for them.

85
00:03:45,600 --> 00:03:47,960
Speaker 1: What were some of the biggest lessons that you took

86
00:03:48,000 --> 00:03:52,400
Speaker 1: away from last season and the starting experience that you got.

87
00:03:52,760 --> 00:03:57,000
Speaker 3: Really just building confidence in myself, you know, going up

88
00:03:57,000 --> 00:03:59,320
Speaker 3: against the best players like Miles, Garrett, t J. Watt,

89
00:03:59,360 --> 00:04:01,240
Speaker 3: all of them, seeing where I stack up and where

90
00:04:01,240 --> 00:04:04,320
Speaker 3: I can work on myself. Definitely just use that to

91
00:04:04,480 --> 00:04:07,000
Speaker 3: build confidence and you know what I can work on

92
00:04:07,040 --> 00:04:07,880
Speaker 3: this off season.

93
00:04:08,640 --> 00:04:10,720
Speaker 1: Were there any blocks that really kind of stand out

94
00:04:10,760 --> 00:04:12,480
Speaker 1: in your mind from last year where you got t J,

95
00:04:12,600 --> 00:04:14,560
Speaker 1: Watt and gartt any of those guys.

96
00:04:15,360 --> 00:04:18,120
Speaker 3: There's a few, but I don't know.

97
00:04:19,839 --> 00:04:22,160
Speaker 2: You'll save it for the field, save it for the field.

98
00:04:23,160 --> 00:04:25,799
Speaker 4: What would you say, what is like the biggest lesson

99
00:04:25,839 --> 00:04:27,560
Speaker 4: that you've learned in your two years so far in

100
00:04:27,600 --> 00:04:28,080
Speaker 4: the NFL.

101
00:04:28,520 --> 00:04:34,480
Speaker 3: The biggest lesson just being the pro Really just watching

102
00:04:34,560 --> 00:04:37,359
Speaker 3: like Kevin Zeitler and Morgan and how they come to

103
00:04:37,400 --> 00:04:39,720
Speaker 3: work every day, you know, even though they're banged up

104
00:04:39,760 --> 00:04:42,279
Speaker 3: or her they still show up for the team and

105
00:04:42,400 --> 00:04:45,000
Speaker 3: just seeing how their their selflessness, you know, impacts us

106
00:04:45,000 --> 00:04:46,920
Speaker 3: as a group. I feel like that was the biggest

107
00:04:46,920 --> 00:04:48,479
Speaker 3: thing I took from them.

108
00:04:48,600 --> 00:04:51,280
Speaker 4: Yeah, so you talk about being a pro. Yeah, Like

109
00:04:50,839 --> 00:04:53,400
Speaker 4: you've mentioned that you've been here, You've been working here,

110
00:04:53,440 --> 00:04:58,880
Speaker 4: and is that Like I'm curious just to hear you

111
00:04:58,880 --> 00:05:01,400
Speaker 4: about your mindset this offseason, Like you talked about how

112
00:05:01,400 --> 00:05:02,440
Speaker 4: it was at the forefront of your mind that you

113
00:05:02,520 --> 00:05:04,880
Speaker 4: got this opportunity in front of you, but you spent

114
00:05:05,080 --> 00:05:06,960
Speaker 4: you spent a lot of time here working and training

115
00:05:07,000 --> 00:05:10,240
Speaker 4: and make it getting ready for this season. Is all

116
00:05:10,360 --> 00:05:12,479
Speaker 4: that part of just learning what it means to be

117
00:05:12,520 --> 00:05:12,840
Speaker 4: a pro.

118
00:05:14,440 --> 00:05:17,360
Speaker 3: I think it is. Yeah, just for me the first

119
00:05:17,480 --> 00:05:20,279
Speaker 3: my first two years, I stayed around here also, so

120
00:05:20,360 --> 00:05:22,839
Speaker 3: I felt like it worked for me and helping in

121
00:05:23,200 --> 00:05:26,280
Speaker 3: get in shape for I mean for the for Foll camp.

122
00:05:26,800 --> 00:05:29,359
Speaker 3: So I just felt like it worked once, so I

123
00:05:29,440 --> 00:05:29,920
Speaker 3: change it up.

124
00:05:30,040 --> 00:05:31,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, you talk about Joe D.

125
00:05:32,200 --> 00:05:35,120
Speaker 1: Joe D l Sandris, the Ravens offensive line coach, and

126
00:05:35,560 --> 00:05:38,440
Speaker 1: you know, he has a reputation of really helping guys

127
00:05:38,480 --> 00:05:40,120
Speaker 1: develop Guys like you.

128
00:05:39,880 --> 00:05:42,400
Speaker 2: You come in here and you.

129
00:05:42,360 --> 00:05:44,360
Speaker 1: Check a lot of boxes physically, It's like, man, this

130
00:05:44,400 --> 00:05:46,760
Speaker 1: guy has all the tools right and he just continues

131
00:05:46,800 --> 00:05:48,760
Speaker 1: to work at his craft, like he can become a

132
00:05:48,800 --> 00:05:51,919
Speaker 1: really really good player. What is it about Joe D

133
00:05:52,160 --> 00:05:55,440
Speaker 1: that makes him so good at developing guys like yourself?

134
00:05:55,480 --> 00:05:56,480
Speaker 2: How does he go about it?

135
00:05:58,320 --> 00:05:59,560
Speaker 3: First of all, I feel like he's just a really

136
00:05:59,600 --> 00:06:02,440
Speaker 3: good teacher. Sure, he breaks it down really well in

137
00:06:02,440 --> 00:06:04,520
Speaker 3: the classroom, and then when we go to the field,

138
00:06:04,560 --> 00:06:07,520
Speaker 3: he applies the same drills that we do. Translate, Yeah,

139
00:06:07,520 --> 00:06:10,280
Speaker 3: they translate well to like on the field so and

140
00:06:10,440 --> 00:06:13,640
Speaker 3: in the classroom. So that just makes sense there. And

141
00:06:13,800 --> 00:06:17,719
Speaker 3: we do the basically the same drills every every practice,

142
00:06:17,720 --> 00:06:19,680
Speaker 3: so we know what to expect, and I feel like

143
00:06:19,720 --> 00:06:22,320
Speaker 3: that just helps us get better at one thing at

144
00:06:22,360 --> 00:06:24,560
Speaker 3: a time rather than you know, trying to fix little things.

145
00:06:24,760 --> 00:06:25,880
Speaker 2: Right there, you.

146
00:06:25,880 --> 00:06:27,919
Speaker 1: Got some practice time also at guard. You know, they

147
00:06:28,000 --> 00:06:30,360
Speaker 1: were kind of playing around with that. Do you view

148
00:06:30,400 --> 00:06:32,440
Speaker 1: yourself now? All right, I'm going to get that shot

149
00:06:32,480 --> 00:06:35,000
Speaker 1: of tackle And how did that experience even just in

150
00:06:35,040 --> 00:06:37,080
Speaker 1: practice at guard? Did that kind of help you with

151
00:06:37,080 --> 00:06:37,960
Speaker 1: your game of tackle too?

152
00:06:38,400 --> 00:06:40,760
Speaker 3: It definitely helped me understand like what the guards see

153
00:06:40,800 --> 00:06:44,560
Speaker 3: and how they play, and just getting their perspective from

154
00:06:44,920 --> 00:06:48,520
Speaker 3: just helps me understand the bigger picture from a tackle perspective.

155
00:06:48,600 --> 00:06:51,160
Speaker 3: But yeah, it was definitely cool and fun to get

156
00:06:51,160 --> 00:06:51,760
Speaker 3: those reps in.

157
00:06:51,920 --> 00:06:54,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, we also see you know, Bank Cleveland's here at workouts,

158
00:06:54,600 --> 00:06:57,039
Speaker 1: Andrew Moore, he's some of these other guys, young guys

159
00:06:57,080 --> 00:06:59,680
Speaker 1: like yourself. You know, with all the changes on the

160
00:06:59,720 --> 00:07:02,120
Speaker 1: off line, there's a lot of open starting positions, there's

161
00:07:02,120 --> 00:07:03,960
Speaker 1: three of them right now, and there's a lot of

162
00:07:04,000 --> 00:07:07,520
Speaker 1: buzz about, you know, the Ravens are rebuilding this offensive line.

163
00:07:08,240 --> 00:07:11,400
Speaker 1: What's the mentality of all you guys as people are

164
00:07:11,480 --> 00:07:14,120
Speaker 1: kind of questioning, oh, you know, what's this Ravens line

165
00:07:14,120 --> 00:07:16,240
Speaker 1: going to look like after losing so many vets?

166
00:07:16,280 --> 00:07:16,760
Speaker 2: You know what I mean?

167
00:07:16,880 --> 00:07:20,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, Well, I feel like just all of us collectively

168
00:07:20,800 --> 00:07:23,280
Speaker 3: understand what it takes to, you know, get to where

169
00:07:23,280 --> 00:07:25,280
Speaker 3: we want to get to, especially from last season and

170
00:07:25,400 --> 00:07:28,000
Speaker 3: just learning from the older Vets and stuff like that

171
00:07:28,880 --> 00:07:32,040
Speaker 3: definitely just helps us paint that picture and you know,

172
00:07:32,160 --> 00:07:34,120
Speaker 3: build a vision collectively and where we want to be.

173
00:07:35,040 --> 00:07:38,000
Speaker 4: So do you obviously the draft is coming up, do

174
00:07:38,040 --> 00:07:39,760
Speaker 4: you pay attention to it? Obviously you have your own

175
00:07:39,800 --> 00:07:41,560
Speaker 4: draft stories, but do you pay attention.

176
00:07:41,280 --> 00:07:41,800
Speaker 2: To the draft?

177
00:07:41,840 --> 00:07:43,600
Speaker 3: And a little bit Yeah.

00:07:43,360 --> 00:07:45,200
Speaker 4: Okay, so what do you you plan to watch it

179
00:07:45,200 --> 00:07:46,760
Speaker 4: on Thursday night just kind of see whether the Ravens

180
00:07:46,800 --> 00:07:47,240
Speaker 4: end up doing.

181
00:07:47,320 --> 00:07:49,800
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, I definitely tune in just to see what's happening,

182
00:07:49,920 --> 00:07:51,720
Speaker 3: See new team mate, see how we pick up stuff

183
00:07:51,760 --> 00:07:52,040
Speaker 3: like that.

184
00:07:52,160 --> 00:07:55,680
Speaker 4: Yeah, And and you know, obviously the Ravens, this offensive

185
00:07:55,680 --> 00:07:58,240
Speaker 4: line rebuild process is like it's a process and it's

186
00:07:58,360 --> 00:07:59,960
Speaker 4: you know, adding pieces to the equation is going to

187
00:08:00,920 --> 00:08:02,960
Speaker 4: take place over the course of draft weekend, and it's.

188
00:08:02,800 --> 00:08:05,720
Speaker 2: Like the offensive line, Yeah, that's probably.

189
00:08:05,480 --> 00:08:07,880
Speaker 4: Gonna have They're gonna you're gonna add more competition, you know,

190
00:08:08,400 --> 00:08:10,040
Speaker 4: like how do you how do you view that as

191
00:08:10,080 --> 00:08:12,360
Speaker 4: like a player, you know, like more competition? All right,

192
00:08:12,440 --> 00:08:13,960
Speaker 4: let's let's go like, how do you how do you

193
00:08:14,040 --> 00:08:16,240
Speaker 4: view adding more competition to that room?

194
00:08:16,680 --> 00:08:18,640
Speaker 3: Yeah? I mean it's always a good thing. I feel

195
00:08:18,680 --> 00:08:21,920
Speaker 3: like competition, you know, makes us all get better just

196
00:08:21,920 --> 00:08:26,280
Speaker 3: because we're you know, always competing with somebody. But I

197
00:08:26,280 --> 00:08:28,000
Speaker 3: feel like that's just a part of the business. Part

198
00:08:28,040 --> 00:08:29,680
Speaker 3: of the league is just you know, they're always gonna

199
00:08:29,880 --> 00:08:33,480
Speaker 3: try and find somebody else to replace you. So just

200
00:08:33,559 --> 00:08:36,120
Speaker 3: having that mindset WI helped me, you know, keep my

201
00:08:36,200 --> 00:08:38,840
Speaker 3: job and hopefully practice harder and play harder.

202
00:08:38,960 --> 00:08:40,120
Speaker 2: Yeah awesome.

203
00:08:40,120 --> 00:08:42,360
Speaker 1: We want to let listeners and viewers kind of get

204
00:08:42,400 --> 00:08:44,360
Speaker 1: to know you and your backstory a little bit. And

205
00:08:44,559 --> 00:08:46,480
Speaker 1: you grew up in Australia and that's where you went

206
00:08:46,600 --> 00:08:48,240
Speaker 1: back to this offseason underthing right.

207
00:08:48,320 --> 00:08:52,280
Speaker 3: Yeah, so I left Australia when I was sixteen, went

208
00:08:52,320 --> 00:08:54,720
Speaker 3: to Florida to play high school football for two years,

209
00:08:55,200 --> 00:08:58,320
Speaker 3: and then played in Minnesota for four years and then

210
00:08:58,360 --> 00:08:58,760
Speaker 3: came here.

211
00:08:58,840 --> 00:09:01,840
Speaker 1: Yeah. I mean, how hard was that decision to leave

212
00:09:01,920 --> 00:09:04,200
Speaker 1: home go literally to the other side of the world

213
00:09:04,640 --> 00:09:07,480
Speaker 1: right on, and you're taking a chance on yourself, right,

214
00:09:07,480 --> 00:09:10,000
Speaker 1: You're betting on yourself. Like, take me inside what that

215
00:09:10,000 --> 00:09:10,840
Speaker 1: decision was like.

216
00:09:11,440 --> 00:09:14,560
Speaker 3: It definitely wasn't an easy decision, especially for my mom

217
00:09:14,600 --> 00:09:17,760
Speaker 3: because growing up was just me and my mom and

218
00:09:17,800 --> 00:09:23,600
Speaker 3: my brother so we really close knit, tight knit, and yeah,

219
00:09:23,720 --> 00:09:25,360
Speaker 3: it was a difficult decision, but at the end of

220
00:09:25,400 --> 00:09:28,040
Speaker 3: the day, I just wanted to give myself an opportunity

221
00:09:28,080 --> 00:09:30,160
Speaker 3: to explore football and see where that could take me.

222
00:09:30,760 --> 00:09:33,200
Speaker 3: And yeah, I wouldn't say it was a bad one.

223
00:09:33,440 --> 00:09:34,839
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, you've been getting paid off.

224
00:09:34,840 --> 00:09:37,640
Speaker 4: It worked out pretty well. So you did were you

225
00:09:37,760 --> 00:09:39,320
Speaker 4: a fan of American football.

226
00:09:38,960 --> 00:09:41,520
Speaker 3: As a kid? I had no idea what it was.

227
00:09:41,520 --> 00:09:41,880
Speaker 2: Didn't know.

228
00:09:42,040 --> 00:09:44,959
Speaker 4: Yeah, So when did you, like, when did football come

229
00:09:44,960 --> 00:09:45,559
Speaker 4: on your radar?

230
00:09:45,800 --> 00:09:49,360
Speaker 3: Yeah? So when I was sixteen, I got my first

231
00:09:49,360 --> 00:09:52,720
Speaker 3: offer in Australia from Hawaii and that's where I first

232
00:09:53,000 --> 00:09:55,240
Speaker 3: really got like an understanding of like what that meant,

233
00:09:55,240 --> 00:09:58,199
Speaker 3: because he was like, you can get a full ride scholarship.

234
00:09:58,520 --> 00:09:59,960
Speaker 2: Wait, and you hadn't played football at all.

235
00:10:00,160 --> 00:10:05,280
Speaker 1: No, man, that's the life, man.

236
00:10:06,520 --> 00:10:09,560
Speaker 3: So he was like, they were checking out other rugby

237
00:10:09,559 --> 00:10:11,559
Speaker 3: players at the time at the gym I was working

238
00:10:11,559 --> 00:10:14,200
Speaker 3: out at, and they just saw me there put me

239
00:10:14,200 --> 00:10:18,520
Speaker 3: through like a couple offensive line jos and they liked

240
00:10:18,559 --> 00:10:21,120
Speaker 3: what they saw, so they offered me. And I told

241
00:10:21,160 --> 00:10:23,040
Speaker 3: my mom and she just couldn't believe it and like

242
00:10:23,120 --> 00:10:26,840
Speaker 3: didn't really understand what it was either Yeah, but from there,

243
00:10:26,880 --> 00:10:30,079
Speaker 3: like the ball just started rolling. And then Michigan actually

244
00:10:30,080 --> 00:10:33,400
Speaker 3: did a satellite camp in Australia and that helped me

245
00:10:33,480 --> 00:10:35,320
Speaker 3: build a pathway to IMG.

246
00:10:35,679 --> 00:10:37,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, so Jim Harball was kind of essential in this.

247
00:10:38,040 --> 00:10:40,600
Speaker 1: Can you tell the story behind behind Jim and his

248
00:10:40,679 --> 00:10:42,200
Speaker 1: influence on you coming to the States?

249
00:10:42,320 --> 00:10:46,920
Speaker 3: Yeah, So Michigan was interested in me when I was

250
00:10:46,920 --> 00:10:50,440
Speaker 3: in Australia and they decided to do a satellite camp

251
00:10:50,920 --> 00:10:52,880
Speaker 3: and it was a good camp. I had fun and

252
00:10:52,920 --> 00:10:55,840
Speaker 3: stuff and actually coach tweetI he was a D line

253
00:10:55,840 --> 00:11:00,480
Speaker 3: coach at the time. He helped me connect with the

254
00:11:00,480 --> 00:11:03,600
Speaker 3: coaches at at IMG and I got the ball rolling there.

255
00:11:03,760 --> 00:11:04,880
Speaker 2: Interesting, So, like what was it?

256
00:11:04,920 --> 00:11:07,080
Speaker 4: What was the camp, like the satellite camp of Michigan,

257
00:11:07,120 --> 00:11:09,720
Speaker 4: Like was it what did that? Was it a day

258
00:11:09,800 --> 00:11:11,800
Speaker 4: long camp and you just kind of learned football skills?

259
00:11:11,800 --> 00:11:13,000
Speaker 4: Like what did that camp look like?

260
00:11:13,280 --> 00:11:14,000
Speaker 2: Uh?

261
00:11:14,080 --> 00:11:16,840
Speaker 3: It was like it was like different stations for drills,

262
00:11:17,200 --> 00:11:18,840
Speaker 3: and it was like a bunch of different age groups,

263
00:11:18,880 --> 00:11:21,920
Speaker 3: Like there was like young guys those older people and

264
00:11:22,559 --> 00:11:24,560
Speaker 3: basically we were all just doing drills one on ones

265
00:11:24,600 --> 00:11:28,679
Speaker 3: and stuff. Yeah, it was just like a four hour camp.

266
00:11:28,880 --> 00:11:31,280
Speaker 4: Okay, And so that four hour camp then leads you

267
00:11:31,320 --> 00:11:33,560
Speaker 4: to going to IMG. You basically just get the ball

268
00:11:33,640 --> 00:11:36,920
Speaker 4: rolling yea and that in that process and from there

269
00:11:37,360 --> 00:11:41,600
Speaker 4: you connect with the coaches in Florida at imgah and

270
00:11:41,600 --> 00:11:44,520
Speaker 4: and then you what's the conversation with your with your

271
00:11:44,520 --> 00:11:47,400
Speaker 4: mom to say, Hey, okay, so this football thing it

272
00:11:47,480 --> 00:11:50,800
Speaker 4: could be something here, I'm going to move across the

273
00:11:50,840 --> 00:11:53,320
Speaker 4: world and go to Florida where I've never been. Like

274
00:11:53,360 --> 00:11:55,559
Speaker 4: what was take me through those conversations?

275
00:11:55,920 --> 00:11:58,800
Speaker 3: Uh? Yeah, so she was definitely scared at first, but

276
00:12:00,200 --> 00:12:03,960
Speaker 3: just seeing how like, I don't know how excited I

277
00:12:04,040 --> 00:12:05,839
Speaker 3: was about it, she like really couldn't tell me no.

278
00:12:06,360 --> 00:12:11,120
Speaker 3: So so yeah, I left by myself and moving on

279
00:12:11,200 --> 00:12:13,079
Speaker 3: to sixteen and yeah that was that.

280
00:12:14,040 --> 00:12:16,839
Speaker 1: So I'm interested in how nasty of a rugby player

281
00:12:16,840 --> 00:12:18,960
Speaker 1: you were, because if I see you barreling towards me,

282
00:12:19,080 --> 00:12:21,679
Speaker 1: it's one thing to pass rush you, but you're coming

283
00:12:21,800 --> 00:12:22,840
Speaker 1: at me like that.

284
00:12:23,040 --> 00:12:25,840
Speaker 2: I mean it's like a pool block, I guess, right, Like, like.

285
00:12:26,000 --> 00:12:29,119
Speaker 1: Was rugby something that you were really good at considering

286
00:12:29,120 --> 00:12:29,760
Speaker 1: a future in?

287
00:12:29,960 --> 00:12:30,440
Speaker 2: And what?

288
00:12:31,080 --> 00:12:33,040
Speaker 3: Definitely growing up, I, you know, wanted to be a

289
00:12:33,080 --> 00:12:36,080
Speaker 3: professional rugby player. Okay, but I stopped playing when I

290
00:12:36,120 --> 00:12:40,040
Speaker 3: was twelve, just because I don't know, I didn't really

291
00:12:40,320 --> 00:12:44,080
Speaker 3: like the sport anymore. So I started playing basketball and yeah,

292
00:12:44,120 --> 00:12:46,600
Speaker 3: that was fun, and then from there a football.

293
00:12:46,720 --> 00:12:48,120
Speaker 2: What's going through your head?

294
00:12:48,640 --> 00:12:51,560
Speaker 1: And how did it look like when college coaches come

295
00:12:51,600 --> 00:12:53,079
Speaker 1: out there and they're like, all right, we want you

296
00:12:53,160 --> 00:12:55,800
Speaker 1: to do some O lineman drills and you've never played

297
00:12:55,800 --> 00:12:56,319
Speaker 1: the game.

298
00:12:56,160 --> 00:12:58,480
Speaker 2: Before, Like yeah, and they come away.

299
00:12:58,520 --> 00:13:00,439
Speaker 1: I'm pressed enough to say, yeah, you know what we're

300
00:13:00,480 --> 00:13:03,640
Speaker 1: offering you, Like, what are you thinking during that?

301
00:13:04,640 --> 00:13:08,560
Speaker 3: For me, it was just really overwhelming at first, just

302
00:13:08,600 --> 00:13:11,160
Speaker 3: trying to gather like all this information, Like I had

303
00:13:11,160 --> 00:13:14,120
Speaker 3: no idea what football was or like, I didn't even

304
00:13:14,160 --> 00:13:17,320
Speaker 3: know that had a school in Hawaii, So just learning

305
00:13:17,320 --> 00:13:21,360
Speaker 3: all that was kind of overwhelming. But yeah, just I

306
00:13:21,400 --> 00:13:23,280
Speaker 3: don't know, I just I got really excited about the

307
00:13:23,280 --> 00:13:24,280
Speaker 3: opportunities I had.

308
00:13:24,720 --> 00:13:26,720
Speaker 4: I've read that tell me if this is true that

309
00:13:27,240 --> 00:13:28,960
Speaker 4: one of the ways that you learned the game was

310
00:13:28,960 --> 00:13:29,720
Speaker 4: by playing Madden.

311
00:13:30,080 --> 00:13:35,000
Speaker 3: Yeah. So when I went to IMG, those there's like

312
00:13:35,040 --> 00:13:36,800
Speaker 3: four teams now, but when I was there there was two.

313
00:13:36,920 --> 00:13:39,320
Speaker 3: There was a national team and the varsity team, and

314
00:13:39,559 --> 00:13:41,719
Speaker 3: we were really close at the time because I had

315
00:13:41,760 --> 00:13:43,640
Speaker 3: no one else there, So I would always just hang

316
00:13:43,679 --> 00:13:46,680
Speaker 3: around my teammates and we'd always play Madden or something,

317
00:13:46,760 --> 00:13:49,520
Speaker 3: and that just helped me learn like the game and

318
00:13:49,640 --> 00:13:51,840
Speaker 3: you know what a first down means, second down, third down,

319
00:13:51,920 --> 00:13:53,360
Speaker 3: all that. Yeah, it was good.

320
00:13:53,480 --> 00:13:55,680
Speaker 1: What did it mean to you this off season to

321
00:13:55,840 --> 00:13:58,319
Speaker 1: go back to Australia and see your family and does

322
00:13:58,320 --> 00:14:00,880
Speaker 1: that kind of vault you in into this year a

323
00:14:00,920 --> 00:14:01,680
Speaker 1: little bit mentally?

324
00:14:01,880 --> 00:14:04,640
Speaker 3: Yeah, definitely. It was good to take like a little

325
00:14:04,679 --> 00:14:07,079
Speaker 3: mental break and just you know, see where it all started.

326
00:14:08,080 --> 00:14:10,240
Speaker 3: Going on this journey. It's you know, easy to get

327
00:14:10,520 --> 00:14:12,640
Speaker 3: caught up in the moment, and I felt like going

328
00:14:12,679 --> 00:14:15,480
Speaker 3: back home just really helped me reset and put everything

329
00:14:15,520 --> 00:14:17,600
Speaker 3: into perspective and why I'm doing this, who I'm doing

330
00:14:17,600 --> 00:14:19,160
Speaker 3: it for, stuff like that, Right.

331
00:14:19,040 --> 00:14:20,800
Speaker 4: It was it was a trip home this year. That

332
00:14:20,880 --> 00:14:22,960
Speaker 4: was your first time there since the time that you

333
00:14:23,000 --> 00:14:24,240
Speaker 4: left when you're sixteen years old.

334
00:14:24,600 --> 00:14:26,800
Speaker 3: That was my first time back, yeah, since twenty seventeen.

335
00:14:27,080 --> 00:14:30,720
Speaker 4: So yeah, And was it like an emotional return.

336
00:14:31,000 --> 00:14:34,200
Speaker 3: Definitely, because I surprised my family. They didn't oh wow.

337
00:14:35,560 --> 00:14:37,560
Speaker 3: So it was a really good surprise for everybody, and

338
00:14:38,320 --> 00:14:41,080
Speaker 3: everybody was really emotional. But it was a really good. Well,

339
00:14:41,120 --> 00:14:42,320
Speaker 3: spent two weeks with them.

340
00:14:42,560 --> 00:14:43,320
Speaker 2: That's very cool.

341
00:14:43,400 --> 00:14:43,560

00:15:26,160 --> 00:15:29,320
Speaker 4: So really enjoyed just sitting down with him. Great story.

360
00:15:29,360 --> 00:15:33,080
Speaker 4: I mean, this is I think that sometimes you get

361
00:15:33,520 --> 00:15:35,440
Speaker 4: you see these guys on the field and you don't

362
00:15:35,520 --> 00:15:40,440
Speaker 4: necessarily know even or remember all the stories that it

363
00:15:40,520 --> 00:15:42,600
Speaker 4: takes for these guys to get here. But you know,

364
00:15:42,880 --> 00:15:45,480
Speaker 4: Daniel left home at sixteen years old and didn't get

365
00:15:45,480 --> 00:15:50,360
Speaker 4: back until this year, right, seven years away, moving to

366
00:15:50,360 --> 00:15:53,800
Speaker 4: the other side of the world, totally different everything, and

367
00:15:54,240 --> 00:15:55,680
Speaker 4: you know, now he's got this opportunity to play in

368
00:15:55,680 --> 00:15:58,280
Speaker 4: the league. It shows, I mean, a big sacrifice on

369
00:15:58,320 --> 00:16:01,600
Speaker 4: his part, you know. And also you know, he bet

370
00:16:01,640 --> 00:16:04,200
Speaker 4: on himself and he's got a big opportunity now. But

371
00:16:04,440 --> 00:16:05,520
Speaker 4: I really liked him.

372
00:16:05,680 --> 00:16:09,240
Speaker 1: Well, incredible to see, you know, a guy who didn't

373
00:16:09,280 --> 00:16:13,880
Speaker 1: know anything about football seven years ago, you didn't know

374
00:16:13,920 --> 00:16:16,400
Speaker 1: the first the first thing about the game to now

375
00:16:16,440 --> 00:16:18,680
Speaker 1: playing in the NFL lining up against some of the

376
00:16:18,720 --> 00:16:19,880
Speaker 1: best pass rushers in the league.

377
00:16:19,960 --> 00:16:20,120
Speaker 3: Right.

378
00:16:20,320 --> 00:16:22,960
Speaker 1: It also makes me think, hey, you know, we need

379
00:16:23,000 --> 00:16:24,960
Speaker 1: to be patient with some of these guys, you know

380
00:16:25,040 --> 00:16:27,920
Speaker 1: what I mean. Like, I think everybody gets excited by

381
00:16:27,920 --> 00:16:31,000
Speaker 1: the Ravens draft picks, and that's just the way society works.

382
00:16:31,000 --> 00:16:32,080
Speaker 1: It's like, all right, I want to see what this

383
00:16:32,120 --> 00:16:33,760
Speaker 1: guy's got, and you see him on the field, and

384
00:16:33,800 --> 00:16:37,040
Speaker 1: then there's quick judgements made on whether how good they are, right,

385
00:16:37,120 --> 00:16:40,680
Speaker 1: And like Daniel Foulele. He the Ravens drafted him as

386
00:16:40,720 --> 00:16:44,200
Speaker 1: a developmental prospect who has all the tools. We're sitting

387
00:16:44,200 --> 00:16:46,680
Speaker 1: here talking about the Amarius Mims and the Tyler Geidans

388
00:16:46,720 --> 00:16:49,520
Speaker 1: of the world, and everybody's drooling over Hey, they have

389
00:16:49,640 --> 00:16:53,320
Speaker 1: prototypical size six foot eight, three hundred and some pounds.

390
00:16:53,880 --> 00:16:55,720
Speaker 1: The guy that was just sitting here six foot eight,

391
00:16:55,760 --> 00:16:59,120
Speaker 1: three hundred, you know, three hundred some pounds, right, and like, look,

392
00:16:59,200 --> 00:17:00,800
Speaker 1: every guy's individual.

393
00:17:00,840 --> 00:17:02,000
Speaker 2: You can't just compare them all.

394
00:17:02,000 --> 00:17:05,320
Speaker 1: But like you talk about a toolsy offensive tackle who

395
00:17:05,680 --> 00:17:08,959
Speaker 1: could develop into a really solid player, didn't follow alas

396
00:17:09,000 --> 00:17:09,480
Speaker 1: in that mix.

397
00:17:09,560 --> 00:17:12,840
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's also interesting because in recent years the Ravens have,

398
00:17:13,520 --> 00:17:15,120
Speaker 4: in terms of some of the guys that they've drafted,

399
00:17:15,160 --> 00:17:19,080
Speaker 4: taken some players who were newcomers to the sport and

400
00:17:19,160 --> 00:17:20,960
Speaker 4: so like he's only been playing for he did. I mean,

401
00:17:21,040 --> 00:17:22,760
Speaker 4: it's crazy you go back to seven years. Didn't even

402
00:17:22,760 --> 00:17:24,800
Speaker 4: know what football was. Like, he didn't even really understand

403
00:17:24,800 --> 00:17:26,679
Speaker 4: the rules, you know, what first down was. You know,

404
00:17:26,760 --> 00:17:29,200
Speaker 4: it's like you're playing Madden to learn how the game works,

405
00:17:29,280 --> 00:17:31,600
Speaker 4: and they're saying due tackle drills and he's like, what's

406
00:17:31,600 --> 00:17:34,600
Speaker 4: a tackle? You know, Like and now he's lining up

407
00:17:34,600 --> 00:17:37,640
Speaker 4: in the NFL. Like that, it speaks to the tools,

408
00:17:37,840 --> 00:17:40,320
Speaker 4: but I also think that like those are being refined,

409
00:17:40,560 --> 00:17:43,400
Speaker 4: and I think that, like I agree with your point

410
00:17:43,440 --> 00:17:45,160
Speaker 4: about you do need to be patient. And I think

411
00:17:45,160 --> 00:17:49,160
Speaker 4: that he's he hasn't been playing the game for very long,

412
00:17:49,520 --> 00:17:52,120
Speaker 4: and so he is he is building those tools every

413
00:17:52,200 --> 00:17:54,600
Speaker 4: single day and I think that, you know, he's got

414
00:17:54,640 --> 00:17:56,520
Speaker 4: a big opportunity in front of him. I could absolutely

415
00:17:56,520 --> 00:17:58,720
Speaker 4: see him being the starting right tackle when this season

416
00:17:58,760 --> 00:17:59,400
Speaker 4: opens this year.

417
00:17:59,440 --> 00:18:02,359
Speaker 1: Absolutely, he's got the right coach too. You know, let's

418
00:18:02,400 --> 00:18:05,040
Speaker 1: not overlook that how the Ravens have developed some of

419
00:18:05,080 --> 00:18:08,400
Speaker 1: these offensive linemen. You know, people weren't talking about John

420
00:18:08,440 --> 00:18:11,560
Speaker 1: Simpson at this time last year as being a starting,

421
00:18:11,960 --> 00:18:14,240
Speaker 1: you know guard who goes off and gets a really

422
00:18:14,280 --> 00:18:16,800
Speaker 1: solid payday the following off season. People do not see

423
00:18:16,800 --> 00:18:20,199
Speaker 1: that coming. And you know, the Ravens have a number

424
00:18:20,600 --> 00:18:22,920
Speaker 1: Ricky Wagner, I go back, it was a developmental guy.

425
00:18:23,000 --> 00:18:23,159
Speaker 3: You know.

426
00:18:23,240 --> 00:18:25,439
Speaker 1: Now he had a little more experience under his belt

427
00:18:25,480 --> 00:18:29,880
Speaker 1: than Daniel foul Alele, but you know they have routinely

428
00:18:30,200 --> 00:18:31,399
Speaker 1: draft these guys, developed them.

429
00:18:31,440 --> 00:18:32,160
Speaker 2: Ryan Jensen.

430
00:18:32,240 --> 00:18:35,800
Speaker 1: I mean, the list is long and Daniel fol Li

431
00:18:36,200 --> 00:18:38,720
Speaker 1: is they hope another guy in that process. Now, could

432
00:18:38,760 --> 00:18:41,000
Speaker 1: they go out and draft the right tackle and Mary's Mims,

433
00:18:41,320 --> 00:18:44,520
Speaker 1: you know, in the first round? Absolutely they could, right,

434
00:18:45,080 --> 00:18:47,920
Speaker 1: And but that guy isn't necessarily They're not going to

435
00:18:48,040 --> 00:18:50,320
Speaker 1: just hand him the starting job, you know, on draft

436
00:18:50,400 --> 00:18:52,080
Speaker 1: night and say all right, here you go, let's step

437
00:18:52,160 --> 00:18:54,600
Speaker 1: right in. Because you read what the pundits are writing.

438
00:18:54,920 --> 00:18:58,000
Speaker 1: You know, Mims and Geion are short on experience. It

439
00:18:58,760 --> 00:19:00,520
Speaker 1: could take a little bit of a rum for them.

440
00:19:00,920 --> 00:19:02,639
Speaker 1: They might need a little bit of a build up

441
00:19:02,640 --> 00:19:06,560
Speaker 1: process as well. And so to Daniel's point, Hey, it's

442
00:19:06,600 --> 00:19:09,240
Speaker 1: all competition, yeah, right, Like that's what it's going to

443
00:19:09,280 --> 00:19:11,240
Speaker 1: be in the draft, whoever they pick, whether it be

444
00:19:11,280 --> 00:19:14,040
Speaker 1: at number thirty or wherever, Like, that guy is going

445
00:19:14,080 --> 00:19:16,719
Speaker 1: to be competing with players like Daniel fol Lele and

446
00:19:16,720 --> 00:19:17,160
Speaker 1: Andre Voar.

447
00:19:17,240 --> 00:19:19,600
Speaker 2: He's in Bank Cleveland and all those guys. Yeah.

448
00:19:19,640 --> 00:19:21,840
Speaker 4: Like the other part of it too, is the Raves

449
00:19:21,840 --> 00:19:23,840
Speaker 4: looking for the best five linemen. So even if they

450
00:19:23,920 --> 00:19:28,479
Speaker 4: draft a tackle, a potential tackle at at thirty, they

451
00:19:28,520 --> 00:19:30,520
Speaker 4: could start that player at guard too if they feel

452
00:19:30,560 --> 00:19:33,199
Speaker 4: like Daniel's the best option at right tackle. You know,

453
00:19:33,280 --> 00:19:35,680
Speaker 4: I think that like they're looking for the best five

454
00:19:35,720 --> 00:19:37,680
Speaker 4: and so they're going to look at this line. They're

455
00:19:37,720 --> 00:19:39,840
Speaker 4: going to draft offensive lineman. There's no doubt that they're

456
00:19:39,840 --> 00:19:43,359
Speaker 4: going to draft offensive lineman and probably some players that

457
00:19:43,400 --> 00:19:46,320
Speaker 4: have the potential to play guard or tackle. And so

458
00:19:46,720 --> 00:19:49,160
Speaker 4: if they take someone at thirty, yeah, maybe he ends

459
00:19:49,240 --> 00:19:51,800
Speaker 4: up starting at right tackle, or maybe they say, you

460
00:19:51,840 --> 00:19:53,680
Speaker 4: know what we want, we want Daniel out there. We

461
00:19:53,720 --> 00:19:55,320
Speaker 4: want to put that guy at right guard or at

462
00:19:55,400 --> 00:19:58,080
Speaker 4: left or left guard. I think that all that stuff

463
00:19:58,119 --> 00:19:59,840
Speaker 4: is on the table and that's going to be hashed

464
00:19:59,840 --> 00:20:01,200
Speaker 4: down out over the course of training camp.

465
00:20:01,320 --> 00:20:01,520
Speaker 3: Yep.

466
00:20:01,600 --> 00:20:05,040
Speaker 1: Absolutely, so a lot more to be decided, and the

467
00:20:05,119 --> 00:20:07,720
Speaker 1: Ravens are going to be looking really in depth, have

468
00:20:07,920 --> 00:20:10,840
Speaker 1: already looked at all those offensive linemen that could come

469
00:20:10,840 --> 00:20:13,520
Speaker 1: in here and compete with Daniel. So exciting times. A

470
00:20:13,520 --> 00:20:16,200
Speaker 1: lot of draft coverage coming your way. We're going daily

471
00:20:16,720 --> 00:20:18,439
Speaker 1: next week here on the Lounge, and then we have
