1
00:00:00,280 --> 00:00:03,800
Speaker 1: Now we're joined by Giants offensive lineman free agent addition

2
00:00:04,120 --> 00:00:05,280
Speaker 1: Jermaine illumin or Jermaine.

3
00:00:05,320 --> 00:00:06,360
Speaker 2: Nice to meet you, man, How are you.

4
00:00:06,480 --> 00:00:08,200
Speaker 3: I'm amazing now I'm happy to be here.

5
00:00:08,320 --> 00:00:09,240
Speaker 2: Well, it's great to have you.

6
00:00:09,720 --> 00:00:12,080
Speaker 1: Let's start at the beginning. How did you fall in

7
00:00:12,080 --> 00:00:14,680
Speaker 1: love with American football? Having being someone that grew up

8
00:00:14,720 --> 00:00:15,760
Speaker 1: just outside of London.

9
00:00:15,640 --> 00:00:18,919
Speaker 3: Shot watching the Giants, watching them at Wembley Stadium play

10
00:00:18,960 --> 00:00:21,560
Speaker 3: the Dolphins. I told her I was flocking through the

11
00:00:21,560 --> 00:00:23,280
Speaker 3: TV trying to find the Arsenal game and I came

12
00:00:23,360 --> 00:00:25,840
Speaker 3: up on this game at Wembley Stadium. I was like,

13
00:00:25,880 --> 00:00:27,680
Speaker 3: what is this? And it was Giants and the Dolphins.

14
00:00:27,720 --> 00:00:30,080
Speaker 3: Is mix straight and OC. I think the QB for

15
00:00:30,160 --> 00:00:33,159
Speaker 3: the Dolphins at the time was Chad Pennington. If I'm correct, I.

16
00:00:33,120 --> 00:00:35,240
Speaker 2: Think Cleil Lemon got some time in that game time.

17
00:00:35,400 --> 00:00:37,720
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm not exactly sure because I was more focused

18
00:00:37,760 --> 00:00:39,680
Speaker 3: on the Giants in that helmet, that blue helmet just

19
00:00:39,960 --> 00:00:41,440
Speaker 3: that stuck out to me in the motion. I think

20
00:00:41,479 --> 00:00:43,760
Speaker 3: that was the coolest thing ever, And still to this day,

21
00:00:43,760 --> 00:00:45,560
Speaker 3: I think the Giants home is the coolest helmet in

22
00:00:45,600 --> 00:00:47,960
Speaker 3: the NFL. So the fact that I get to finally

23
00:00:48,040 --> 00:00:49,400
Speaker 3: put that on is really exciting for me.

24
00:00:49,720 --> 00:00:51,920
Speaker 2: And then you moved to New Jersey. Yeah, so they

25
00:00:52,000 --> 00:00:53,720
Speaker 2: end up being your hometown team.

26
00:00:53,840 --> 00:00:55,080
Speaker 1: Is that the team you're rooted for when you came

27
00:00:55,080 --> 00:00:56,640
Speaker 1: here to play high school football and stuff.

28
00:00:57,640 --> 00:01:00,360
Speaker 3: I'm sure some people are gonna get a little upset

29
00:01:00,400 --> 00:01:02,520
Speaker 3: with me, but I actually rooted for two teams. It

30
00:01:02,560 --> 00:01:05,399
Speaker 3: was the Giants and it was the Eagles. And it

31
00:01:05,480 --> 00:01:07,240
Speaker 3: was because the Eagles had a really cool helmet at

32
00:01:07,240 --> 00:01:08,680
Speaker 3: the time too, I did not know a single thing

33
00:01:08,680 --> 00:01:10,840
Speaker 3: about them, but that green helmlet like the wings, was

34
00:01:10,920 --> 00:01:13,440
Speaker 3: really col to me back then. But the Giants helmet

35
00:01:13,480 --> 00:01:16,119
Speaker 3: was number one. Just saying very good.

36
00:01:16,440 --> 00:01:19,720
Speaker 1: Now in high school, you wrestled too, right, m h Now,

37
00:01:19,880 --> 00:01:21,959
Speaker 1: how much did that help you with offensive line plan?

38
00:01:21,959 --> 00:01:24,040
Speaker 2: And a lot of US linemen say it really helps you.

39
00:01:24,200 --> 00:01:27,119
Speaker 3: It was huge, just like center of gravity, balance, core,

40
00:01:27,400 --> 00:01:29,480
Speaker 3: you know, all those three things are hues. As the

41
00:01:29,480 --> 00:01:32,000
Speaker 3: offensive lineman, you know, you got to have balance out there,

42
00:01:32,000 --> 00:01:34,080
Speaker 3: attackle because you rode against guys are way quicker than you, were,

43
00:01:34,080 --> 00:01:36,200
Speaker 3: more athletic than you. And then a guard. Also, you

44
00:01:36,200 --> 00:01:38,440
Speaker 3: gotta have a low center of gravity because those guys

45
00:01:38,440 --> 00:01:40,479
Speaker 3: are shooting out low and quick, and so you got

46
00:01:40,480 --> 00:01:42,080
Speaker 3: to be able to counter then and get your hands

47
00:01:42,120 --> 00:01:44,679
Speaker 3: on the quicker. And then wrestlings all hand fighting, and

48
00:01:44,720 --> 00:01:47,160
Speaker 3: I believe that's what offensive line players too, as the

49
00:01:47,240 --> 00:01:48,880
Speaker 3: tackles all hand fighting. You know, you got to get

50
00:01:48,880 --> 00:01:50,360
Speaker 3: your hands on them before they get their hands on

51
00:01:50,400 --> 00:01:53,080
Speaker 3: the You at guard, you know, it's real quick and

52
00:01:53,160 --> 00:01:55,200
Speaker 3: it's you got to be precise and on point every

53
00:01:55,200 --> 00:01:57,480
Speaker 3: single time, especially against the d tackles in this league

54
00:01:57,520 --> 00:02:00,080
Speaker 3: and the detackles we play this year. So all the

55
00:02:00,160 --> 00:02:03,160
Speaker 3: lessons I learned from wrestling helped me translate that to

56
00:02:03,200 --> 00:02:05,200
Speaker 3: the field and become the player I am today.

57
00:02:05,520 --> 00:02:07,440
Speaker 1: Talk wrestling, I'm assuming since you were trying to find

58
00:02:07,440 --> 00:02:09,880
Speaker 1: the Arsenal game, you also played soccer growing up correct

59
00:02:10,080 --> 00:02:13,160
Speaker 1: huge Arsenal fan, and then the footwork probably applies to.

60
00:02:13,240 --> 00:02:13,679
Speaker 2: Right m M.

61
00:02:13,800 --> 00:02:15,919
Speaker 3: I think that helped me to as a tackle because

62
00:02:16,040 --> 00:02:17,800
Speaker 3: me being as big as I am, you know, people

63
00:02:17,960 --> 00:02:19,880
Speaker 3: think that I'm more suited to play guard, and that's

64
00:02:19,880 --> 00:02:22,079
Speaker 3: always been something that's followed me around the league, and

65
00:02:22,240 --> 00:02:24,200
Speaker 3: when they see me out there on the field playing tackle,

66
00:02:24,240 --> 00:02:26,000
Speaker 3: it kind of amazed them because like a guy as

67
00:02:26,000 --> 00:02:27,519
Speaker 3: big as you shouldn't be moving like that, and I've

68
00:02:27,520 --> 00:02:30,080
Speaker 3: never really understood that. I think I'm an athlete, but

69
00:02:30,480 --> 00:02:33,920
Speaker 3: soccer really helped me with the footwork and at tackles specifically,

70
00:02:34,000 --> 00:02:35,640
Speaker 3: you got to have really good feet to counter what

71
00:02:35,680 --> 00:02:37,760
Speaker 3: the defensive EN's doing. Like we played Michael Parsons twice

72
00:02:37,800 --> 00:02:39,760
Speaker 3: a year and he's a freaking hell of a player,

73
00:02:39,800 --> 00:02:41,280
Speaker 3: but you gotta have the feet in order to keep

74
00:02:41,360 --> 00:02:43,519
Speaker 3: up with him. And it's kind of it's like a

75
00:02:43,600 --> 00:02:45,359
Speaker 3: Dunce partner in a sense. You know, you got to

76
00:02:45,360 --> 00:02:47,600
Speaker 3: be able to keep up with their movements and match

77
00:02:47,639 --> 00:02:48,960
Speaker 3: their movement so you can block them.

78
00:02:49,600 --> 00:02:51,799
Speaker 2: All right, we'll get to your position flex in a second.

79
00:02:51,840 --> 00:02:54,240
Speaker 1: But you've mentioned a couple of times osumanuor was your

80
00:02:54,240 --> 00:02:55,280
Speaker 1: favorite player growing up.

81
00:02:55,320 --> 00:02:56,600
Speaker 2: You wear number seventy two.

82
00:02:56,919 --> 00:02:58,919
Speaker 1: You call them already said all right, you have permission

83
00:02:58,919 --> 00:03:01,079
Speaker 1: you can wear seventy two with the Gjohtien. How did

84
00:03:01,120 --> 00:03:04,200
Speaker 1: your relationship with oc UM and your grow? Obviously you

85
00:03:04,200 --> 00:03:06,120
Speaker 1: both have connections to England and things like that, but

86
00:03:06,320 --> 00:03:08,200
Speaker 1: how did you guys develop such a tight relationship.

87
00:03:08,280 --> 00:03:10,840
Speaker 3: So the big thing was me being from England. I've

88
00:03:10,840 --> 00:03:13,360
Speaker 3: always wanted to host the camp over there, and so

89
00:03:13,560 --> 00:03:15,200
Speaker 3: last year I was able to go back over there

90
00:03:15,200 --> 00:03:17,520
Speaker 3: to where I grew up in Campden and have a camp.

91
00:03:17,600 --> 00:03:19,799
Speaker 3: And then the following day I went to ethiel A

92
00:03:19,800 --> 00:03:22,200
Speaker 3: Boder's camp and OC was there and I finally got

93
00:03:22,200 --> 00:03:23,799
Speaker 3: to meet him. You know, we had talked on line

94
00:03:23,800 --> 00:03:25,280
Speaker 3: a bunch, but it was my first time really got

95
00:03:25,280 --> 00:03:27,800
Speaker 3: to meet him, and you know, to see him and

96
00:03:27,840 --> 00:03:29,560
Speaker 3: the type of person he is, and you know, he's

97
00:03:29,960 --> 00:03:32,040
Speaker 3: everything about him is you love it. You know, he's

98
00:03:32,080 --> 00:03:36,560
Speaker 3: just such a just down to earth human being. He

99
00:03:36,600 --> 00:03:38,800
Speaker 3: only cares about doing what's best for everyone else. And

100
00:03:39,160 --> 00:03:40,440
Speaker 3: you know, that's the type of person I want to

101
00:03:40,440 --> 00:03:42,200
Speaker 3: be like. And I really want to follow in his footsteps.

102
00:03:42,240 --> 00:03:44,000
Speaker 3: And I want to be a great player and then

103
00:03:44,160 --> 00:03:46,320
Speaker 3: be great off the field as well and help children

104
00:03:46,360 --> 00:03:49,040
Speaker 3: and you know, help bring this sport to other countries

105
00:03:49,080 --> 00:03:51,720
Speaker 3: and really grow the sport internationally. And he's doing an

106
00:03:51,760 --> 00:03:54,800
Speaker 3: amazing job of that right now in Africa and he's

107
00:03:54,840 --> 00:03:57,120
Speaker 3: grown the sport too, and you know, he's really an

108
00:03:57,160 --> 00:03:59,000
Speaker 3: ambassador for this game and that's why I hope to

109
00:03:59,000 --> 00:04:00,520
Speaker 3: be too. So he's kind of like an ido for me,

110
00:04:00,960 --> 00:04:03,480
Speaker 3: and I want to follow suit and do exactly what

111
00:04:03,520 --> 00:04:04,040
Speaker 3: he did.

112
00:04:04,360 --> 00:04:06,080
Speaker 1: Now You've talked about how you were a little late

113
00:04:06,120 --> 00:04:08,480
Speaker 1: to football in terms of playing right. So you drafted

114
00:04:08,480 --> 00:04:11,880
Speaker 1: fifth round right, and you were considered a developmental player,

115
00:04:11,920 --> 00:04:13,880
Speaker 1: not like every college player is not trying to give

116
00:04:13,960 --> 00:04:15,720
Speaker 1: up when they get to the pros. Right, And then

117
00:04:15,720 --> 00:04:18,120
Speaker 1: you hooked up with Carmen Brisilla in New England. Dante

118
00:04:18,160 --> 00:04:20,800
Speaker 1: Scarneki was there too, not a bad guy to learn fromhim.

119
00:04:20,839 --> 00:04:24,680
Speaker 1: By the way, talk about how coach Brisilla he was

120
00:04:24,680 --> 00:04:28,160
Speaker 1: now the Giants offensive line coach, developed you and what

121
00:04:28,240 --> 00:04:30,680
Speaker 1: areas of game specifically, do you really think he's helped

122
00:04:30,680 --> 00:04:32,719
Speaker 1: you improve in your trip through the NFL.

123
00:04:33,040 --> 00:04:36,440
Speaker 3: So, I mean, everyone can see my first five years

124
00:04:36,440 --> 00:04:38,919
Speaker 3: in the NFL were kind of if he like to me,

125
00:04:39,000 --> 00:04:41,239
Speaker 3: I think they were really mediocre and just terrible. And

126
00:04:41,360 --> 00:04:43,039
Speaker 3: you know, I'll be honest about that. I think I

127
00:04:43,040 --> 00:04:45,839
Speaker 3: sucked those first five years, and I got to be

128
00:04:45,880 --> 00:04:50,640
Speaker 3: around Karm. I got around karm after my third year

129
00:04:51,000 --> 00:04:53,159
Speaker 3: in the NFL, if I remember specifically, and you know,

130
00:04:53,200 --> 00:04:55,360
Speaker 3: he had just got to the Patriots and I did too,

131
00:04:55,760 --> 00:04:58,080
Speaker 3: and so our relationships has been building every single season.

132
00:04:58,760 --> 00:05:00,880
Speaker 3: And for Karm, he's just always believed in me and

133
00:05:00,880 --> 00:05:03,200
Speaker 3: believed in my potential and believed in what I could

134
00:05:03,200 --> 00:05:05,400
Speaker 3: do on the field, and when I finally got to Vegas,

135
00:05:05,480 --> 00:05:08,400
Speaker 3: when I somewhat figured it out, and you know, my

136
00:05:08,440 --> 00:05:10,240
Speaker 3: first season there was if he know, I got some

137
00:05:10,279 --> 00:05:12,599
Speaker 3: starts to write guard, but then I eventually lost that position.

138
00:05:12,640 --> 00:05:15,520
Speaker 3: But then he became the offensive line coach my second

139
00:05:15,560 --> 00:05:18,680
Speaker 3: year in Vegas, and he just instilled that belief and

140
00:05:18,720 --> 00:05:20,279
Speaker 3: confidence in me where I could go out there and

141
00:05:20,279 --> 00:05:21,920
Speaker 3: do what I needed to do. And obviously I had

142
00:05:21,920 --> 00:05:23,760
Speaker 3: to batter my way up. I started a training campus

143
00:05:23,760 --> 00:05:26,039
Speaker 3: for four string right tackle, but he gave the opportunity

144
00:05:26,080 --> 00:05:27,360
Speaker 3: and the belief that I could go in and win

145
00:05:27,400 --> 00:05:30,320
Speaker 3: that starting job, and I eventually did. And during the

146
00:05:30,360 --> 00:05:32,760
Speaker 3: season I had to learn every single week because as

147
00:05:32,760 --> 00:05:34,960
Speaker 3: a starter, it's completely different than being a backup at

148
00:05:35,120 --> 00:05:37,080
Speaker 3: or a role player. You have to bring your a

149
00:05:37,200 --> 00:05:39,080
Speaker 3: game every single week, and you have to improve every

150
00:05:39,120 --> 00:05:41,160
Speaker 3: single week because if you don't, then the person in

151
00:05:41,240 --> 00:05:42,960
Speaker 3: front of you is gonna either take your job or

152
00:05:43,000 --> 00:05:45,359
Speaker 3: the guy who's going against you who is gonna embarrass you.

153
00:05:45,760 --> 00:05:48,599
Speaker 3: And so KRM really helped me become a pro and

154
00:05:48,680 --> 00:05:50,520
Speaker 3: become a starter and learn what it means to be

155
00:05:50,560 --> 00:05:52,520
Speaker 3: a starter. And then last season two, I feel like

156
00:05:52,560 --> 00:05:55,080
Speaker 3: I made a shoe step as well, just because Karm

157
00:05:55,160 --> 00:05:56,760
Speaker 3: just every single week just told me how much he

158
00:05:56,800 --> 00:05:58,440
Speaker 3: believes in me. And I feel like as a player

159
00:05:58,480 --> 00:06:00,200
Speaker 3: in the NFL, you need someone who believes in as

160
00:06:00,279 --> 00:06:03,600
Speaker 3: much as Karm does, and that does that. I think

161
00:06:03,600 --> 00:06:05,760
Speaker 3: as an offensive lineman in general, just says a lot

162
00:06:05,800 --> 00:06:07,800
Speaker 3: for you having the belief for your own lone coach

163
00:06:08,080 --> 00:06:09,200
Speaker 3: to go out there and know that he's going to

164
00:06:09,240 --> 00:06:11,400
Speaker 3: have your back regardless of what happens, but he's going

165
00:06:11,400 --> 00:06:12,960
Speaker 3: to put you in the best position to succeed. And

166
00:06:13,000 --> 00:06:14,240
Speaker 3: that's what Karm is. He's going to put you in

167
00:06:14,279 --> 00:06:16,520
Speaker 3: the best position to succeed, and he's also going to

168
00:06:16,600 --> 00:06:18,960
Speaker 3: love you and give you everything you needs. The offensive

169
00:06:19,000 --> 00:06:20,800
Speaker 3: lineman is, you know you give everything to him, He's

170
00:06:20,800 --> 00:06:22,159
Speaker 3: going to give everything back to you, and he's going

171
00:06:22,240 --> 00:06:25,280
Speaker 3: to push you towards greatness and push you towards your

172
00:06:25,279 --> 00:06:27,599
Speaker 3: goals and your potential. And I think that will be

173
00:06:28,200 --> 00:06:29,799
Speaker 3: huge here and it's going to be real beneficial.

174
00:06:30,160 --> 00:06:32,039
Speaker 1: You talked about the belief part of it, the love

175
00:06:32,080 --> 00:06:34,360
Speaker 1: part of it, but you also mentioned on the media

176
00:06:34,400 --> 00:06:37,919
Speaker 1: call the detailed technical part of It's coaching that you

177
00:06:38,000 --> 00:06:39,919
Speaker 1: really liked that made you better. What are some of

178
00:06:39,920 --> 00:06:43,440
Speaker 1: those technical detail things that you really think you've refined

179
00:06:43,839 --> 00:06:45,800
Speaker 1: that helped you take those type of big jumps you've

180
00:06:45,800 --> 00:06:46,960
Speaker 1: talked about in the last two years.

181
00:06:47,080 --> 00:06:49,320
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think every offensive lineman isn't the same. Every

182
00:06:49,360 --> 00:06:52,040
Speaker 3: offensive lineman has that one thing about them that makes

183
00:06:52,080 --> 00:06:54,159
Speaker 3: them stand out that got them to the NFL. You know,

184
00:06:54,200 --> 00:06:56,240
Speaker 3: At is not like Evan Neil. I'm not like AT.

185
00:06:56,440 --> 00:06:58,440
Speaker 3: I'm not like Evan Neil. Like we all have our game,

186
00:06:59,560 --> 00:07:01,800
Speaker 3: we all have things about us that got us to

187
00:07:01,839 --> 00:07:05,000
Speaker 3: this position. And I think with karm he's real technical,

188
00:07:05,040 --> 00:07:07,320
Speaker 3: where he knows what you're good at and what you

189
00:07:07,360 --> 00:07:10,080
Speaker 3: can improve on, and he's going to help you get

190
00:07:10,080 --> 00:07:11,680
Speaker 3: better at things you're really good at, but then also

191
00:07:11,720 --> 00:07:14,239
Speaker 3: improve the things you're not good at, whether it's hand placement,

192
00:07:14,280 --> 00:07:17,679
Speaker 3: whether that's you know, eye coordination, whether that's just your feet,

193
00:07:17,840 --> 00:07:20,440
Speaker 3: you know, making your feet more balanced, whether that's your core,

194
00:07:20,720 --> 00:07:22,960
Speaker 3: whether that's just knowing the guy you're going against. And

195
00:07:23,000 --> 00:07:25,560
Speaker 3: then to talk about the schematic side of things, He's

196
00:07:25,560 --> 00:07:27,680
Speaker 3: going to help you know where you're going, know who

197
00:07:27,680 --> 00:07:29,760
Speaker 3: you're blocking at all times, so when you're out there,

198
00:07:29,760 --> 00:07:32,480
Speaker 3: you're never second guessing yourself and a lot of schemes

199
00:07:32,520 --> 00:07:34,760
Speaker 3: and a lot a lot of offenses are pretty hard

200
00:07:34,800 --> 00:07:36,560
Speaker 3: in the NFL. But to have a guy like Karm

201
00:07:36,600 --> 00:07:38,040
Speaker 3: who can break it down to a t and make

202
00:07:38,080 --> 00:07:40,240
Speaker 3: it easier for you takes a lot of weight off

203
00:07:40,280 --> 00:07:42,280
Speaker 3: your shoulder, and I think that every offensive line in

204
00:07:42,280 --> 00:07:43,680
Speaker 3: that room is going to benefit from that and having

205
00:07:43,680 --> 00:07:45,880
Speaker 3: a guy like Karm who can make the game easier

206
00:07:45,880 --> 00:07:47,120
Speaker 3: for you, so you can go out there and don't

207
00:07:47,120 --> 00:07:48,600
Speaker 3: worry about your drop and you can just go out

208
00:07:48,600 --> 00:07:50,440
Speaker 3: there and play free, because at the end of the day,

209
00:07:50,800 --> 00:07:52,840
Speaker 3: I believe that if you play free as offensive line,

210
00:07:52,880 --> 00:07:53,880
Speaker 3: you're going to play really well.

211
00:07:54,680 --> 00:07:56,680
Speaker 2: You made a great point. I thought that every offensive

212
00:07:56,680 --> 00:07:58,480
Speaker 2: line is a little bit different and they have something else.

213
00:07:58,680 --> 00:08:01,080
Speaker 1: Is what makes them special? Would be them good enough

214
00:08:01,120 --> 00:08:03,440
Speaker 1: to be an NFL player? What part of that game is.

215
00:08:03,440 --> 00:08:03,760
Speaker 2: That for you?

216
00:08:04,680 --> 00:08:08,560
Speaker 3: I think just my confidence. I'm really confident in myself

217
00:08:09,000 --> 00:08:12,200
Speaker 3: and that comes from me being a rock bottom and

218
00:08:12,240 --> 00:08:15,200
Speaker 3: dealing with depression and dealing with little things that kind

219
00:08:15,200 --> 00:08:17,480
Speaker 3: of you know, on the way to where I'm at

220
00:08:17,560 --> 00:08:20,400
Speaker 3: now that I had to battle through and I was

221
00:08:20,440 --> 00:08:23,040
Speaker 3: able to recover from all that from you know, the

222
00:08:23,040 --> 00:08:25,120
Speaker 3: coaches who I had around me to you know, my

223
00:08:25,160 --> 00:08:27,960
Speaker 3: mental coach that I have now. And so my thing

224
00:08:28,040 --> 00:08:29,880
Speaker 3: is confidence. There's no one in the NFL that I

225
00:08:29,920 --> 00:08:32,600
Speaker 3: believe I can't block. I believe I can block whoever,

226
00:08:33,040 --> 00:08:36,840
Speaker 3: whether that's TJ, whether that's Mike, or whether that's you know,

227
00:08:36,960 --> 00:08:40,959
Speaker 3: Cam Haywood, whether that's the d tackles in Philly, Like,

228
00:08:41,000 --> 00:08:43,800
Speaker 3: I believe I can block anyone. And that is huge

229
00:08:43,800 --> 00:08:45,440
Speaker 3: of the offensive lineman because you have to have the

230
00:08:45,440 --> 00:08:47,160
Speaker 3: belief that you can block whoever is in front of you.

231
00:08:47,360 --> 00:08:48,920
Speaker 3: They're gonna be better athletes than you, they may be

232
00:08:49,000 --> 00:08:50,760
Speaker 3: stronger than you. I feel like I'm stronger than everyone, if

233
00:08:50,760 --> 00:08:53,000
Speaker 3: I'm being honest, because I put pride in my strength.

234
00:08:53,440 --> 00:08:56,079
Speaker 3: But there's always going to be someone that's a better

235
00:08:56,080 --> 00:08:58,320
Speaker 3: athlete than you. And you have to have that belief

236
00:08:58,360 --> 00:08:59,719
Speaker 3: that you're gonna go out there and you're gonna do

237
00:08:59,720 --> 00:09:01,720
Speaker 3: your and you can do your drop to the highest ability,

238
00:09:02,120 --> 00:09:05,120
Speaker 3: and you're going to win. And so me is confidence,

239
00:09:05,160 --> 00:09:07,760
Speaker 3: and it's also just my determination. I'm determined to be

240
00:09:07,800 --> 00:09:10,520
Speaker 3: the best of my position. And I feel like I've

241
00:09:10,520 --> 00:09:12,520
Speaker 3: been saying I've said it a lot I'm just hitting

242
00:09:12,559 --> 00:09:15,080
Speaker 3: my prime now, and I'm really excited to see the

243
00:09:15,120 --> 00:09:17,280
Speaker 3: player I'm going to become in this offense and for

244
00:09:17,360 --> 00:09:19,600
Speaker 3: this team, And you know, I think the sky's the limit,

245
00:09:19,720 --> 00:09:21,760
Speaker 3: just not for me, but for everyone on the offensive

246
00:09:21,800 --> 00:09:23,800
Speaker 3: line and this team in general. And I'm really excited

247
00:09:23,800 --> 00:09:25,480
Speaker 3: to just be a small part of that.

248
00:09:25,880 --> 00:09:28,240
Speaker 1: We talked about refining the technical parts of the game

249
00:09:28,280 --> 00:09:29,840
Speaker 1: on the field, but based on the answer, it sounds

250
00:09:29,880 --> 00:09:31,760
Speaker 1: like you've spent a lot of time trying to refine

251
00:09:32,320 --> 00:09:34,960
Speaker 1: the mental approach to the game and the emotional approach

252
00:09:35,000 --> 00:09:36,920
Speaker 1: to the game. How big of a part of this

253
00:09:36,960 --> 00:09:38,720
Speaker 1: has that been for you the last couple of years

254
00:09:38,720 --> 00:09:39,920
Speaker 1: and how have you kind of got about that.

255
00:09:40,000 --> 00:09:44,679
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm a firm believer in being an NFL offensive

256
00:09:44,679 --> 00:09:48,480
Speaker 3: lineman is ten percent physical, ninety percent mental. The mental

257
00:09:48,520 --> 00:09:51,000
Speaker 3: game is such a huge, huge aspect of this game

258
00:09:51,000 --> 00:09:54,079
Speaker 3: that people don't really you know, they don't really know.

259
00:09:54,440 --> 00:09:56,400
Speaker 3: Like you have to deal with social media, you have

260
00:09:56,440 --> 00:09:57,960
Speaker 3: to deal with the media, you have to deal with

261
00:09:57,960 --> 00:10:00,480
Speaker 3: the pressure of being an offensive lineman. And you know,

262
00:10:00,520 --> 00:10:02,360
Speaker 3: you can be strong, you can be a crazy athlete.

263
00:10:02,400 --> 00:10:04,400
Speaker 3: You can run a four or five, four, six, four

264
00:10:04,520 --> 00:10:08,400
Speaker 3: seven as an athlete in general. As an offensive line,

265
00:10:08,400 --> 00:10:09,959
Speaker 3: you're going to run a four nine and five zero,

266
00:10:10,240 --> 00:10:12,760
Speaker 3: you know, throw up to twenty five fifty times. But

267
00:10:13,160 --> 00:10:15,560
Speaker 3: if you don't have the mental side of things sorted out,

268
00:10:15,800 --> 00:10:17,600
Speaker 3: then you're gonna go out there and you're not gonna

269
00:10:17,600 --> 00:10:19,640
Speaker 3: play at your highest level and play it that at

270
00:10:19,640 --> 00:10:22,720
Speaker 3: the ability you've been blessed with. And so for me,

271
00:10:23,480 --> 00:10:26,199
Speaker 3: the mental side was always the biggest part because at

272
00:10:26,240 --> 00:10:28,959
Speaker 3: times I lost confidence with myself. At times I didn't

273
00:10:28,960 --> 00:10:31,440
Speaker 3: know if I was good enough. At times, I just

274
00:10:32,240 --> 00:10:34,480
Speaker 3: didn't know if I belonged to the NFL. And so

275
00:10:35,280 --> 00:10:38,319
Speaker 3: this journey for me has been a long one, but

276
00:10:38,360 --> 00:10:40,640
Speaker 3: it's also been a really rewarding one to see where

277
00:10:40,679 --> 00:10:43,280
Speaker 3: I've come from. To get to this point now, to

278
00:10:43,320 --> 00:10:46,000
Speaker 3: play for this team and this organization and to be

279
00:10:46,080 --> 00:10:48,880
Speaker 3: where I'm at mentally is huge for me. And I

280
00:10:48,920 --> 00:10:54,280
Speaker 3: believe that everyone's struggling at with something, But the sooner

281
00:10:54,320 --> 00:10:56,280
Speaker 3: you realize that, as sooner you can admit that is

282
00:10:56,559 --> 00:10:58,600
Speaker 3: when you can really take that next step of becoming

283
00:10:58,640 --> 00:11:00,360
Speaker 3: who you want to become. Whether that's off to field,

284
00:11:00,400 --> 00:11:02,320
Speaker 3: on the field, it doesn't matter. That's just life in general.

285
00:11:02,679 --> 00:11:04,320
Speaker 3: And I think That's what separates me from a lot

286
00:11:04,360 --> 00:11:07,319
Speaker 3: of players. It's just that mentally, I feel like I'm

287
00:11:07,360 --> 00:11:10,240
Speaker 3: untouchable now. I feel like I'm at the best I've

288
00:11:10,280 --> 00:11:12,320
Speaker 3: ever been mentally because of my mental coach, because of

289
00:11:12,720 --> 00:11:15,120
Speaker 3: my belief in myself now, and that's why i feel

290
00:11:15,120 --> 00:11:18,280
Speaker 3: like I'm gonna come here and really reach the height side.

291
00:11:18,440 --> 00:11:21,920
Speaker 3: I know I'm capable of reaching. And you know, like

292
00:11:22,000 --> 00:11:23,439
Speaker 3: I said, don't want to be the best. Whether it's

293
00:11:23,440 --> 00:11:25,000
Speaker 3: a guard with this attack, I don't really care. I

294
00:11:25,040 --> 00:11:28,000
Speaker 3: just want to help the team win. And so whatever

295
00:11:28,000 --> 00:11:30,360
Speaker 3: position I'm playing, I'm going to play that at the

296
00:11:30,440 --> 00:11:33,560
Speaker 3: highest level and reach those goals and accolades and everything

297
00:11:33,600 --> 00:11:36,040
Speaker 3: and help this team take that next step and get

298
00:11:36,040 --> 00:11:38,280
Speaker 3: back to those winning ways that this franchise is used

299
00:11:38,280 --> 00:11:38,679
Speaker 3: to having.

300
00:11:39,040 --> 00:11:41,400
Speaker 1: Can you take those lessons you learned as a young

301
00:11:41,440 --> 00:11:44,160
Speaker 1: player and go talk to guys like John Michael Schmidtz,

302
00:11:44,200 --> 00:11:47,240
Speaker 1: guys like Evan Neil, the other young offensive lineman on

303
00:11:47,280 --> 00:11:49,920
Speaker 1: this team. That look, it's one of the toughest You're

304
00:11:49,960 --> 00:11:51,959
Speaker 1: playing against the best athletes in the world, and you

305
00:11:52,000 --> 00:11:54,199
Speaker 1: get to block on one on one going backwards and

306
00:11:54,240 --> 00:11:57,400
Speaker 1: they're going forward. It's a really tough job, you're gonna fail.

307
00:11:57,760 --> 00:12:00,720
Speaker 1: How much can you take those lessons and help those

308
00:12:00,760 --> 00:12:03,439
Speaker 1: other young players deal with some of the challenges that

309
00:12:03,480 --> 00:12:04,600
Speaker 1: they're gonna deal with the young players?

310
00:12:04,640 --> 00:12:06,679
Speaker 3: Well, I said before Evan Nil. Getting thrown into the

311
00:12:06,720 --> 00:12:09,439
Speaker 3: fire as a rookie, switching from left tackle to right

312
00:12:09,440 --> 00:12:12,440
Speaker 3: tackle is hard. If you watching me in my rookie year,

313
00:12:12,800 --> 00:12:15,880
Speaker 3: I sucked. I was terrible. I was on Limo Joe

314
00:12:15,920 --> 00:12:18,880
Speaker 3: SI's top one hundred, and I was getting steamrolled into

315
00:12:18,880 --> 00:12:21,320
Speaker 3: the dirt. Man, I'm never gonna remember. I'm always gonna

316
00:12:21,320 --> 00:12:23,200
Speaker 3: remember that because that was my walking to the NFL

317
00:12:23,320 --> 00:12:26,160
Speaker 3: moment and playing as a rookie in this league, in

318
00:12:26,200 --> 00:12:29,200
Speaker 3: this division, going against the guys he goes against is hard,

319
00:12:29,840 --> 00:12:32,200
Speaker 3: and even JMS, you know you're a rookie gain thrown

320
00:12:32,200 --> 00:12:35,559
Speaker 3: into the fire as an offensive lineman. It's the hardest

321
00:12:35,559 --> 00:12:37,720
Speaker 3: position to play as a rookie is offensive line because

322
00:12:37,760 --> 00:12:39,560
Speaker 3: all the things that are being thrown at you left and right,

323
00:12:39,640 --> 00:12:41,960
Speaker 3: especially as a center, especially as a tackle, especially.

324
00:12:41,640 --> 00:12:42,080
Speaker 2: As a guard.

325
00:12:42,280 --> 00:12:43,400
Speaker 3: You have to be able to go in there right

326
00:12:43,400 --> 00:12:45,280
Speaker 3: away and deal with all the flying bullets right in

327
00:12:45,280 --> 00:12:48,240
Speaker 3: front of you and be able to, you know, focus

328
00:12:48,240 --> 00:12:50,600
Speaker 3: on what you need to focus on, even though everywhere

329
00:12:50,600 --> 00:12:54,160
Speaker 3: else it's a freaking battlefield. It's crazy out there. Everything's

330
00:12:54,240 --> 00:12:56,400
Speaker 3: just you see people getting thrown around, people getting ran over.

331
00:12:56,440 --> 00:12:58,680
Speaker 2: It's crazy.

332
00:12:59,040 --> 00:13:02,040
Speaker 3: And so you have to be able to separate what

333
00:13:02,040 --> 00:13:03,439
Speaker 3: you did in college to what you have to do

334
00:13:03,520 --> 00:13:05,880
Speaker 3: in the NFL now. And I think it's impressive as

335
00:13:05,880 --> 00:13:07,360
Speaker 3: hell that JMS was able to go out there as

336
00:13:07,360 --> 00:13:10,160
Speaker 3: a rookie last year as a center. That's to me,

337
00:13:10,200 --> 00:13:12,320
Speaker 3: that's the all the position on the offensive line, because

338
00:13:12,640 --> 00:13:14,240
Speaker 3: you have four of the guys that are depending on

339
00:13:14,320 --> 00:13:16,160
Speaker 3: you to put them in the right position to succeed.

340
00:13:16,679 --> 00:13:18,040
Speaker 3: You have to be able to make the my point,

341
00:13:18,240 --> 00:13:21,319
Speaker 3: you know, coll the slides, tell them what they doing,

342
00:13:21,360 --> 00:13:22,959
Speaker 3: run block and wise. You have to do so much.

343
00:13:23,000 --> 00:13:25,120
Speaker 3: It's so much on your plate that you have to

344
00:13:25,559 --> 00:13:28,360
Speaker 3: be able to put everything aside, take a deeper and

345
00:13:28,360 --> 00:13:30,480
Speaker 3: be like, Okay, look, Mike's there, we're going here, and

346
00:13:30,520 --> 00:13:31,840
Speaker 3: there's just so much you have to do. And even

347
00:13:31,920 --> 00:13:34,160
Speaker 3: with Evan's point, he's going to get a tremendous talent.

348
00:13:34,280 --> 00:13:38,319
Speaker 3: We can and week out moving positions. And you know,

349
00:13:38,440 --> 00:13:41,080
Speaker 3: for me, I feel like those guys could use a

350
00:13:41,160 --> 00:13:43,880
Speaker 3: vet in the room who just instills confidence in them.

351
00:13:43,960 --> 00:13:45,520
Speaker 3: Is going to tell them, hey, look I believe in you.

352
00:13:45,800 --> 00:13:47,920
Speaker 3: I'm here for you, and I was in your position

353
00:13:47,960 --> 00:13:49,720
Speaker 3: one time. Like like I said, my rookie year, I sucked.

354
00:13:49,920 --> 00:13:51,960
Speaker 3: I sucked my first five years in the NFL. It

355
00:13:52,000 --> 00:13:55,880
Speaker 3: took me until year sixth in the NFL to really

356
00:13:56,640 --> 00:13:58,440
Speaker 3: figure it out. And that's when I had the breakthrough.

357
00:13:58,440 --> 00:14:00,080
Speaker 3: And that's my first year as a true starter. I

358
00:14:00,120 --> 00:14:02,920
Speaker 3: just finished year seven and I'm still learning. And so

359
00:14:03,480 --> 00:14:05,240
Speaker 3: I think if that presence would be good for the

360
00:14:05,280 --> 00:14:06,840
Speaker 3: old Line room. And I'm the van of the room.

361
00:14:06,880 --> 00:14:08,480
Speaker 3: Now you know, I'm only twenty nine years old, but

362
00:14:08,880 --> 00:14:11,440
Speaker 3: you know now I'm that that quote unquote, and so

363
00:14:11,960 --> 00:14:15,520
Speaker 3: you know, my go and my job is to hopefully

364
00:14:15,520 --> 00:14:19,120
Speaker 3: be a leader in that room and give the guys

365
00:14:19,280 --> 00:14:21,360
Speaker 3: that confidence that if they listen to me and just

366
00:14:21,600 --> 00:14:23,680
Speaker 3: believe in me, that I help them on the field.

367
00:14:23,760 --> 00:14:25,800
Speaker 3: Like I'm here to help. I'm here to help both

368
00:14:25,800 --> 00:14:27,480
Speaker 3: of those guys. I'm here to help at I'm here

369
00:14:27,480 --> 00:14:29,560
Speaker 3: to help run you in. I think that this old

370
00:14:29,600 --> 00:14:32,520
Speaker 3: Line has a lot of potential and I hopefully lead

371
00:14:32,560 --> 00:14:34,080
Speaker 3: I can be a small part of that to help

372
00:14:34,120 --> 00:14:37,120
Speaker 3: everyone reach that potential. Even if they're at the top

373
00:14:37,120 --> 00:14:39,720
Speaker 3: of the game, know that, hey, there's still a level

374
00:14:39,720 --> 00:14:42,440
Speaker 3: you can reach, Like there's no like it's not zero

375
00:14:42,480 --> 00:14:45,080
Speaker 3: to one hundred, like there's always level one on one, one, two,

376
00:14:45,120 --> 00:14:47,200
Speaker 3: one or three. Like you're never ever going to be

377
00:14:47,200 --> 00:14:48,760
Speaker 3: at the top, because there's always another level that you

378
00:14:48,800 --> 00:14:50,480
Speaker 3: can reach. And that's why I truly believe all.

379
00:14:50,560 --> 00:14:52,960
Speaker 1: Right, final topic, let's talk about the position flexibility. You've

380
00:14:52,960 --> 00:14:55,240
Speaker 1: mentioned it a couple of times. You've played all four positions.

381
00:14:55,400 --> 00:14:57,280
Speaker 1: Your most common position has been right tackle with I

382
00:14:57,360 --> 00:15:00,040
Speaker 1: think right guard kind of right behind that right a

383
00:15:00,080 --> 00:15:01,360
Speaker 1: lot of time with left tackle two for a few

384
00:15:01,400 --> 00:15:04,360
Speaker 1: games last couple of years. Are you more comfortable that's

385
00:15:04,400 --> 00:15:06,440
Speaker 1: the right left first? More comfortable right side?

386
00:15:06,520 --> 00:15:08,120
Speaker 2: Left side? Doesn't matter to you at all at this

387
00:15:08,160 --> 00:15:08,800
Speaker 2: point in your career.

388
00:15:08,840 --> 00:15:12,080
Speaker 3: I'm comfortable starting. That's all I care about starting. That's

389
00:15:12,120 --> 00:15:14,520
Speaker 3: what I'm comfortable doing. So as long as I'm starting,

390
00:15:14,600 --> 00:15:16,280
Speaker 3: I don't care all position I'm playing, I just gonna

391
00:15:16,280 --> 00:15:19,600
Speaker 3: be all health team win. So right tackle, left guard,

392
00:15:19,760 --> 00:15:21,880
Speaker 3: right guard, I don't care. I just want to play.

393
00:15:21,960 --> 00:15:23,720
Speaker 1: So I guess that answers my second question, lady, but

394
00:15:23,760 --> 00:15:25,800
Speaker 1: I'll ask it anyway. So they tell you week one,

395
00:15:25,840 --> 00:15:27,960
Speaker 1: we need you to step in and start it right guard,

396
00:15:28,000 --> 00:15:30,120
Speaker 1: even though you've been the starting right tackle last two years.

397
00:15:30,320 --> 00:15:30,760
Speaker 2: You're cool.

398
00:15:30,960 --> 00:15:33,120
Speaker 3: I do not care as long as I'm starting.

399
00:15:32,840 --> 00:15:34,360
Speaker 2: And you think you're just as good at both spots.

400
00:15:34,400 --> 00:15:36,160
Speaker 3: One hundred percent. I'm going to get everything I got.

401
00:15:36,160 --> 00:15:38,640
Speaker 3: I mean, it's my confidence. I'm gonna work. If they

402
00:15:38,640 --> 00:15:40,600
Speaker 3: tell me you're a guard, I'm gonna work ass off

403
00:15:40,600 --> 00:15:42,720
Speaker 3: season and I'm gonna become the best guard, And in

404
00:15:42,720 --> 00:15:44,200
Speaker 3: my mind, I'm gonna become the best right gud in

405
00:15:44,200 --> 00:15:45,840
Speaker 3: the NFL. That's just the type player I want to be,

406
00:15:45,880 --> 00:15:48,280
Speaker 3: in the type person I am. I'm always gonna believe

407
00:15:48,320 --> 00:15:49,800
Speaker 3: I can be the best in the NFL. They tell me, hey,

408
00:15:49,800 --> 00:15:51,520
Speaker 3: you're a left guard, Okay, I'm gonna work off season.

409
00:15:51,760 --> 00:15:54,000
Speaker 3: I'm gonna be the best left guard in training camp.

410
00:15:54,000 --> 00:15:55,480
Speaker 3: I'm gonna get to the season and I'm going to

411
00:15:55,520 --> 00:15:57,680
Speaker 3: be the best left guard in the NFL. That's just

412
00:15:57,760 --> 00:15:59,360
Speaker 3: my belief in myself, and that's why I'm coming to

413
00:15:59,400 --> 00:16:01,320
Speaker 3: the season believe, and I want to be the best

414
00:16:01,320 --> 00:16:03,480
Speaker 3: player at my position, whether it's left guard, right guard,

415
00:16:03,560 --> 00:16:05,360
Speaker 3: right tackle. I could care less. I just want to

416
00:16:05,360 --> 00:16:08,520
Speaker 3: start and I'm going to put everything into that position

417
00:16:08,600 --> 00:16:10,680
Speaker 3: and becoming the best. Like every single year, I look

418
00:16:10,680 --> 00:16:12,120
Speaker 3: at that all pro list and I'm like, I know

419
00:16:12,320 --> 00:16:13,600
Speaker 3: I can be there. I know I can be there.

420
00:16:13,600 --> 00:16:15,680
Speaker 3: I know I can be there. I look at the

421
00:16:15,680 --> 00:16:17,080
Speaker 3: pro bowlist, I'm like, I know I can do that.

422
00:16:17,120 --> 00:16:20,280
Speaker 3: I know I can do that. And now it's kind

423
00:16:20,280 --> 00:16:22,520
Speaker 3: of like you're with a franchise where you can really

424
00:16:22,520 --> 00:16:24,920
Speaker 3: accomplish that and where all the odds are on you.

425
00:16:25,480 --> 00:16:26,000
Speaker 3: So why not?

426
00:16:26,560 --> 00:16:28,680
Speaker 1: Is that one of the reasons you chose the Giants

427
00:16:28,720 --> 00:16:31,480
Speaker 1: because they told you, look, maybe we can't promise you

428
00:16:31,560 --> 00:16:34,280
Speaker 1: where you're going to start here, but you're going to

429
00:16:34,360 --> 00:16:36,560
Speaker 1: play for us and we have confidence that you can

430
00:16:36,720 --> 00:16:37,800
Speaker 1: plug in wherever we need you.

431
00:16:39,160 --> 00:16:41,400
Speaker 3: The main reason why I chose the Giants is because

432
00:16:41,920 --> 00:16:43,960
Speaker 3: I see the potential. I remember watching them two years

433
00:16:44,000 --> 00:16:46,640
Speaker 3: ago playing the Vikings during the playoffs, and I remember

434
00:16:46,680 --> 00:16:48,920
Speaker 3: seeing how fun it looked just out there, Like I've

435
00:16:49,640 --> 00:16:52,080
Speaker 3: i haven't had the most fun in my career, but

436
00:16:52,520 --> 00:16:55,960
Speaker 3: you know, I'm here now and I want to play

437
00:16:56,000 --> 00:16:57,920
Speaker 3: for a team that's just fun. They're out there, they're

438
00:16:57,960 --> 00:17:00,160
Speaker 3: smiling that a lot of thing. They just smile like

439
00:17:00,160 --> 00:17:02,120
Speaker 3: whooping butt, and that's the type of player I want

440
00:17:02,120 --> 00:17:03,600
Speaker 3: to be in, type of offense I want to be in.

441
00:17:03,600 --> 00:17:06,520
Speaker 3: And you know at times or that last year, but

442
00:17:06,560 --> 00:17:09,400
Speaker 3: obviously those missing pieces and you know, I know Run

443
00:17:09,440 --> 00:17:10,840
Speaker 3: you spoke about it and he wants to be a

444
00:17:10,840 --> 00:17:12,520
Speaker 3: part of that missing solution. I hope to be a

445
00:17:12,520 --> 00:17:13,960
Speaker 3: part of that as well. And I hope that I

446
00:17:14,000 --> 00:17:15,720
Speaker 3: can come to that room and just you know, improve

447
00:17:15,760 --> 00:17:18,800
Speaker 3: everything and just help with everyone around that. But you know,

448
00:17:18,880 --> 00:17:20,280
Speaker 3: the biggest part of that too, is just all the

449
00:17:20,320 --> 00:17:22,199
Speaker 3: eyes that the Giants have on them, Like everything that

450
00:17:22,280 --> 00:17:25,199
Speaker 3: you do is under a microscope, and everything you do

451
00:17:25,280 --> 00:17:27,080
Speaker 3: is watch to a t. You can have sixty good

452
00:17:27,119 --> 00:17:28,960
Speaker 3: players on one bad playing or everyone's gonna talk about

453
00:17:28,960 --> 00:17:29,600
Speaker 3: is that one play.

454
00:17:29,560 --> 00:17:30,960
Speaker 2: All over social media the next day.

455
00:17:31,000 --> 00:17:32,879
Speaker 3: And I could care less about that because I know

456
00:17:32,880 --> 00:17:35,359
Speaker 3: what type of player I am, and you know, my

457
00:17:35,480 --> 00:17:38,840
Speaker 3: goal here is to reach those those heights' offensive linemup,

458
00:17:38,880 --> 00:17:41,320
Speaker 3: but also elevate this team too and help them get

459
00:17:41,359 --> 00:17:42,399
Speaker 3: to where I believe they can be.

460
00:17:42,720 --> 00:17:44,399
Speaker 2: All right, final question, look into the camera.

461
00:17:44,480 --> 00:17:47,320
Speaker 1: Tell fans when you're on the field and they're watching

462
00:17:47,320 --> 00:17:49,199
Speaker 1: you play offensive line wherever that might be on the

463
00:17:49,240 --> 00:17:50,320
Speaker 1: line on Sundays.

464
00:17:50,720 --> 00:17:52,119
Speaker 2: Where do you best at? What are you bringing on

00:17:52,119 --> 00:17:52,760
Speaker 2: the field.

466
00:17:52,840 --> 00:17:56,639

467
00:17:56,720 --> 00:17:58,320
Speaker 3: one in the NFL that I believe back on block.

Speaker 3: block whoever they put in front of me, and I'm

470
00:18:02,480 --> 00:18:04,080
Speaker 3: going to show that on Sundays. And I believe I'll

471
00:18:04,080 --> 00:18:05,399
Speaker 3: show that the last two years. And I'm going to

472
00:18:05,480 --> 00:18:08,399
Speaker 3: keep climbing and keep improving as offensive lineman and be

473
00:18:08,440 --> 00:18:10,639
Speaker 3: the best of one of at my position. Whichever position

474
00:18:10,680 --> 00:18:12,200
Speaker 3: that is. I could care less. It's just going to

475
00:18:12,240 --> 00:18:13,440
Speaker 3: be out there playing, having fun.
