2
00:00:03,760 --> 00:00:07,320
Speaker 1: all right, I'm wondering, you know, your first NFL training camp.

3
00:00:07,400 --> 00:00:10,119
Speaker 1: How how does this compare to say, you know, to

4
00:00:10,160 --> 00:00:13,480
Speaker 1: say going going through what you did in college. I

5
00:00:13,480 --> 00:00:15,680
Speaker 1: mean it's you know, it's a new experience. You know,

6
00:00:15,720 --> 00:00:18,400
Speaker 1: you're learning something new about yourself every day. You know,

7
00:00:18,440 --> 00:00:20,599
Speaker 1: it's a totally different process, and you're just looking to

8
00:00:21,000 --> 00:00:22,639
Speaker 1: you know, build on each and every day, you know,

9
00:00:22,720 --> 00:00:33,200
Speaker 1: brick by bricks and waiting for another hand to be raised. Guys,

10
00:00:33,200 --> 00:00:37,280
Speaker 1: you need to be able to ask questions here. Greg

11
00:00:37,320 --> 00:00:43,040
Speaker 1: Maddard You're next, Hey, Josh, uh, I'm just wondering, Um,

12
00:00:44,200 --> 00:00:47,080
Speaker 1: you know, at Michigan you played a little bit, you know,

13
00:00:47,120 --> 00:00:51,159
Speaker 1: all over the place. Um, and here we've seen much

14
00:00:51,159 --> 00:00:55,200
Speaker 1: of the same. Um. Have you noticed the difference between

15
00:00:55,200 --> 00:00:58,120
Speaker 1: the college game and the program playing inside? The speed,

16
00:00:58,200 --> 00:01:01,440
Speaker 1: the physical nature? Like what what sort of jumped out

17
00:01:01,440 --> 00:01:04,080
Speaker 1: at you in the transition? I mean, you know, I'm

18
00:01:04,160 --> 00:01:06,960
Speaker 1: like I said before, you know, this is the pinnacle.

19
00:01:07,280 --> 00:01:09,720
Speaker 1: You know, this is the highest level possible, and you're

20
00:01:09,720 --> 00:01:12,800
Speaker 1: just learning something new every single day. You know, whatever

21
00:01:12,840 --> 00:01:15,480
Speaker 1: you did in college, it doesn't matter now. So you know,

22
00:01:15,560 --> 00:01:17,360
Speaker 1: just each and every day, you know, just working on

23
00:01:17,440 --> 00:01:20,479
Speaker 1: all facets in my game and just continuing to become

24
00:01:20,480 --> 00:01:26,520
Speaker 1: a good football player. Our next question is Meredith Gorman,

25
00:01:26,600 --> 00:01:28,440
Speaker 1: and I'm going to ask again for you guys to

26
00:01:28,440 --> 00:01:35,199
Speaker 1: fag your hand if you have questions. Thank you, Meredith,

27
00:01:35,240 --> 00:01:40,080
Speaker 1: you're muted still classic. Hi, josh Um. I know you

28
00:01:40,120 --> 00:01:43,559
Speaker 1: said after you got drafted on your press conference phone

29
00:01:43,560 --> 00:01:46,040
Speaker 1: call that you were close with Chase Winovich in college.

30
00:01:46,040 --> 00:01:48,760
Speaker 1: What has it been like being out there with him

31
00:01:48,800 --> 00:01:51,080
Speaker 1: and how has he kind of helped you as you've

32
00:01:51,080 --> 00:01:54,120
Speaker 1: actually been with the team now during camp. I mean

33
00:01:54,400 --> 00:01:56,840
Speaker 1: it's great, you know, to have a familiar face you know,

34
00:01:56,880 --> 00:01:59,080
Speaker 1: around the facility, and you know, he's just been a

35
00:01:59,080 --> 00:02:01,720
Speaker 1: really good mentor and just you know, just trying to

36
00:02:01,760 --> 00:02:04,040
Speaker 1: compete with him. You know, he says the bar very high,

37
00:02:04,560 --> 00:02:06,520
Speaker 1: so you know, it's just very great. It's a blessing,

38
00:02:06,560 --> 00:02:09,360
Speaker 1: you know, and what like a terrific coincidence, you know

39
00:02:09,360 --> 00:02:12,919
Speaker 1: that we ended up on the same team. So thanks.

40
00:02:15,120 --> 00:02:16,839
Speaker 1: My next question, I'm gonna go back to Eric Crew,

41
00:02:17,000 --> 00:02:23,800
Speaker 1: followed by Doug Kine. How much frestured you kind of

42
00:02:23,960 --> 00:02:26,800
Speaker 1: put on yourself to come out here and contribute early

43
00:02:26,880 --> 00:02:30,520
Speaker 1: for this team. I mean, you know, right now, I'm

44
00:02:30,520 --> 00:02:32,880
Speaker 1: just doing whatever is needed of me, you know, whatever

45
00:02:32,880 --> 00:02:35,520
Speaker 1: the coaches ask of me, you know, each and every day,

46
00:02:35,639 --> 00:02:38,200
Speaker 1: you know, just improving slowly and Shirley, you know, brick

47
00:02:38,240 --> 00:02:40,520
Speaker 1: by Brick. You know, and you know I put pressure

48
00:02:40,520 --> 00:02:42,160
Speaker 1: on myself every day. You know, That's the way my

49
00:02:42,240 --> 00:02:44,959
Speaker 1: dad raised me. So you know, whatever the coaches telling

50
00:02:45,000 --> 00:02:46,440
Speaker 1: me to do, you know, I'm trying to. I'm doing

51
00:02:46,480 --> 00:02:50,320
Speaker 1: my best, you know, to get that done. So and

52
00:02:50,560 --> 00:02:53,120
Speaker 1: just as a quick fought with you know, with the

53
00:02:53,240 --> 00:02:55,920
Speaker 1: kind of the way things have broken down on the roster,

54
00:02:56,080 --> 00:02:58,320
Speaker 1: it seems like do you see the opportunity in front

55
00:02:58,320 --> 00:03:01,480
Speaker 1: of you? Is that kind of what you're chasing? I mean,

56
00:03:01,560 --> 00:03:03,480
Speaker 1: right now, I don't know what's going on. I'm just

57
00:03:03,560 --> 00:03:06,120
Speaker 1: keeping my head down and working, you know, whatever God

58
00:03:06,160 --> 00:03:08,880
Speaker 1: has a store and whenever whatever falls in place, you know,

59
00:03:09,240 --> 00:03:11,200
Speaker 1: I'm doing my best to make sure I'm ready, you know,

60
00:03:11,240 --> 00:03:13,359
Speaker 1: but just working each and every day. Brick by Brick.

61
00:03:18,240 --> 00:03:22,880
Speaker 1: Next question Doug Kaide, followed by Greg Baddard Josh Starry,

62
00:03:22,880 --> 00:03:24,560
Speaker 1: if you were asked us before, I had to come

63
00:03:24,560 --> 00:03:27,200
Speaker 1: in here a little bit late, But um, are you

64
00:03:27,480 --> 00:03:30,399
Speaker 1: surprised by the amount that you're playing off the line

65
00:03:30,440 --> 00:03:35,000
Speaker 1: of scrimmage here so far. Um. I mean, like it's

66
00:03:35,000 --> 00:03:37,080
Speaker 1: football at the end of the day, and like I said,

67
00:03:37,120 --> 00:03:39,240
Speaker 1: whatever is needed of me is what I'm gonna do

68
00:03:39,280 --> 00:03:42,000
Speaker 1: at at the end of the day. And you know,

69
00:03:42,200 --> 00:03:44,320
Speaker 1: football is football, you know. So I'm here to do

70
00:03:44,360 --> 00:03:45,920
Speaker 1: a job. They brought me in to do a job,

71
00:03:45,920 --> 00:03:48,119
Speaker 1: and you know, I'm working hard every day to get

72
00:03:48,400 --> 00:03:51,720
Speaker 1: was asking me done. There's there's a lot that kind

73
00:03:51,720 --> 00:03:53,840
Speaker 1: of goes on in the middle of the field. How

74
00:03:53,840 --> 00:03:56,880
Speaker 1: have you been doing so far processing all the information

75
00:03:56,920 --> 00:03:59,680
Speaker 1: that's coming at you there? Just taking it one day

76
00:03:59,680 --> 00:04:02,360
Speaker 1: at a time, you know, step by step, brick by brick,

77
00:04:02,400 --> 00:04:04,760
Speaker 1: and just taking hard coaching and just learning from our

78
00:04:04,840 --> 00:04:11,000
Speaker 1: mistakes and can continuing to improve every day. Our next

79
00:04:11,080 --> 00:04:16,520
Speaker 1: question Greg Bdard, followed by Andrew Kelhan. Josh, you're you know,

80
00:04:16,640 --> 00:04:18,880
Speaker 1: for a rookie. I mean, you're not the biggest guy

81
00:04:20,200 --> 00:04:21,960
Speaker 1: you know on the field in terms of you know

82
00:04:22,440 --> 00:04:24,840
Speaker 1: mass and you know, we see guys who are three, four,

83
00:04:24,960 --> 00:04:28,479
Speaker 1: eight years in the league, but you are not. We've

84
00:04:28,480 --> 00:04:31,120
Speaker 1: seen so far. You are not afraid of contact, taking

85
00:04:31,160 --> 00:04:33,599
Speaker 1: on lead blockers, all that stuff. Can you talk about

86
00:04:33,760 --> 00:04:36,880
Speaker 1: do you like contact? Like? You know, what's that like?

87
00:04:37,920 --> 00:04:40,480
Speaker 1: I mean, look, I have a job to get done.

88
00:04:40,560 --> 00:04:42,800
Speaker 1: The other person has a job to get done. And

89
00:04:42,960 --> 00:04:44,839
Speaker 1: my job is not to come back to the other

90
00:04:44,880 --> 00:04:46,880
Speaker 1: and say my fault. You know, I messed up or

91
00:04:47,200 --> 00:04:49,920
Speaker 1: because I was scared, So all that goes out the window,

92
00:04:50,040 --> 00:04:51,680
Speaker 1: and you know, I'm near to get a job done,

93
00:04:51,720 --> 00:04:56,840
Speaker 1: so I gotta follow up. You know. In terms of

94
00:04:57,600 --> 00:04:59,960
Speaker 1: this is this is your first year in the NFL,

95
00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:01,520
Speaker 1: so you don't know any different, but this is a

96
00:05:01,520 --> 00:05:03,960
Speaker 1: lot different in the NFL. Normally there's a lot of

97
00:05:04,000 --> 00:05:07,320
Speaker 1: learning in the offseason, a lot's being crammed in. What

98
00:05:07,360 --> 00:05:11,279
Speaker 1: would you say is the most challenging part of what

99
00:05:11,440 --> 00:05:13,479
Speaker 1: you have to learn about the positions that you're playing

100
00:05:13,480 --> 00:05:16,000
Speaker 1: In terms of is there anything that that you're you're

101
00:05:16,040 --> 00:05:19,039
Speaker 1: having to take extra time to study on or anything

102
00:05:19,080 --> 00:05:22,160
Speaker 1: like that. I mean, like you said, this is all

103
00:05:22,200 --> 00:05:24,560
Speaker 1: new to me. So just the NFL in general. You know,

104
00:05:24,600 --> 00:05:27,160
Speaker 1: I'm just learning how to be a professional, just learning

105
00:05:27,240 --> 00:05:29,240
Speaker 1: new habits, how to take care of my body, you know,

106
00:05:29,360 --> 00:05:32,400
Speaker 1: just everything in general. So you know, just step by step,

107
00:05:32,720 --> 00:05:35,440
Speaker 1: you know, learning from the older guys. The vets, you know,

108
00:05:35,480 --> 00:05:38,280
Speaker 1: the Slaters and mccorities, you know, learning a lot from

109
00:05:38,320 --> 00:05:40,800
Speaker 1: Bentley and John Simon, just learning from those guys and

110
00:05:41,080 --> 00:05:47,320
Speaker 1: trying to follow in their footsteps. Last two questions we

111
00:05:47,480 --> 00:05:51,120
Speaker 1: go Andrew Callahan and Evan Lazzar. Hey, Josh, good to

112
00:05:51,120 --> 00:05:53,919
Speaker 1: see you. Thanks for taking the time here today. I'm curious,

113
00:05:53,920 --> 00:05:55,800
Speaker 1: when you're working on the edge, who were some of

114
00:05:55,839 --> 00:05:57,960
Speaker 1: the vets you might have been talking to or offering

115
00:05:58,000 --> 00:05:59,680
Speaker 1: some tips. Obviously that I've been in the league a

116
00:05:59,680 --> 00:06:02,760
Speaker 1: little bit longer, when you guys are in those pastor spirits,

117
00:06:03,839 --> 00:06:06,200
Speaker 1: I mean, just everybody, you know. It doesn't have to

118
00:06:06,200 --> 00:06:08,160
Speaker 1: be any edge guys, I mean the interior guys. I'm

119
00:06:08,200 --> 00:06:10,560
Speaker 1: just trying to learn from everybody, you know. I'm trying

120
00:06:10,560 --> 00:06:13,800
Speaker 1: to learn from ab you know, John Copeland, just all

121
00:06:13,839 --> 00:06:16,400
Speaker 1: those guys you know. Just so I'm trying to be

122
00:06:16,400 --> 00:06:18,279
Speaker 1: a sponge right now. You know, whatever tips they could

123
00:06:18,279 --> 00:06:19,839
Speaker 1: give me, I'm just trying to put it in my

124
00:06:19,880 --> 00:06:22,720
Speaker 1: back pocket. So, and as you've been a sponge, whether

125
00:06:22,720 --> 00:06:25,360
Speaker 1: it's been with those guys or in meetings, what's one

126
00:06:25,400 --> 00:06:27,919
Speaker 1: thing you could say you've learned that you couldn't have

127
00:06:27,960 --> 00:06:30,080
Speaker 1: expected at the start. Of camp. Now that you've kind

128
00:06:30,080 --> 00:06:32,839
Speaker 1: of had a full week plus here on an NFL

129
00:06:32,920 --> 00:06:37,320
Speaker 1: practice field. I mean, it's the NFL. Like I said again,

130
00:06:37,400 --> 00:06:39,920
Speaker 1: like everything is new to me, you know, like it's

131
00:06:39,920 --> 00:06:42,400
Speaker 1: all new. You know, just this is the highest level

132
00:06:42,480 --> 00:06:45,120
Speaker 1: possible for this game. And you know, each and every

133
00:06:45,160 --> 00:06:47,760
Speaker 1: day I'm learning something new that I never knew before.

134
00:06:48,240 --> 00:06:50,320
Speaker 1: You know, I'm just learning how to be a professional.

135
00:06:50,400 --> 00:06:53,520
Speaker 1: And just yeah, soaking it all in. What'd you learned

136
00:06:53,560 --> 00:06:56,960
Speaker 1: to that? What I learned today? Just to have fun,

137
00:06:57,040 --> 00:06:59,560
Speaker 1: have fun with it, you know. You know, we had

138
00:06:59,600 --> 00:07:03,520
Speaker 1: a little a little mudslide or whatever to kick practice off,

139
00:07:03,560 --> 00:07:05,400
Speaker 1: and you know, just have it, having fun with this.

140
00:07:05,480 --> 00:07:11,000
Speaker 1: So thank Josh. Last question Evan Lazzar, Hey, Josh, we've

141
00:07:11,000 --> 00:07:13,160
Speaker 1: seen you play off the line of scrimmage a lot

142
00:07:13,360 --> 00:07:17,120
Speaker 1: in practice so far. Just how is that process going?

143
00:07:17,120 --> 00:07:18,600
Speaker 1: I know you played a lot on the edge in

144
00:07:18,720 --> 00:07:20,560
Speaker 1: college and a little bit off the ball, But how's

145
00:07:20,600 --> 00:07:22,920
Speaker 1: it going playing off the ball? And how helpful is

146
00:07:22,920 --> 00:07:24,960
Speaker 1: it to have Drawn Mayo as a coach, seeing that

147
00:07:25,040 --> 00:07:28,280
Speaker 1: he's been in your exact shoes before. I mean, just

148
00:07:28,400 --> 00:07:31,000
Speaker 1: learning every day, you know, soaking everything in from coach

149
00:07:31,040 --> 00:07:33,720
Speaker 1: Steve and coach Mayo, just you know, having them coach

150
00:07:33,760 --> 00:07:36,400
Speaker 1: me hard and just you know, critique, critiquing everything about

151
00:07:36,400 --> 00:07:38,960
Speaker 1: my game and just coming back the next day and improving,

152
00:07:39,360 --> 00:07:42,920
Speaker 1: you know, and just being open to all types of suggestions,

153
00:07:42,960 --> 00:07:44,840
