1 00:00:00,360 --> 00:00:04,600 Speaker 1: Maybe I'm happening all ye, how are we doing good? Good? Good? Hey? Yeah? 2 00:00:04,640 --> 00:00:06,520 Speaker 1: What kind of boosts did you get from from having 3 00:00:06,559 --> 00:00:09,280 Speaker 1: Trent back in the lineup yesterday? Yeah? You know what 4 00:00:09,320 --> 00:00:12,000 Speaker 1: I mean. Um, it was great having him back. You know, 5 00:00:12,080 --> 00:00:13,880 Speaker 1: he put a lot of hard work in and uh, 6 00:00:14,480 --> 00:00:17,919 Speaker 1: you know, we just gotta keep going here, keeping proving. Um, 7 00:00:18,000 --> 00:00:19,599 Speaker 1: you know, we did some good things, did some bad 8 00:00:19,600 --> 00:00:23,520 Speaker 1: things obviously, you know, everything's now. I expedited on a 9 00:00:23,560 --> 00:00:26,680 Speaker 1: short week, so big week coming up. Really, all the 10 00:00:26,720 --> 00:00:30,040 Speaker 1: focuses on Atlanta. Yeah, how quickly did you turn the 11 00:00:30,080 --> 00:00:34,319 Speaker 1: page from from from Cleveland to to Atlanta? Last night? 12 00:00:34,320 --> 00:00:38,159 Speaker 1: About four or five? So I don't know. I think 13 00:00:38,200 --> 00:00:39,879 Speaker 1: that was the time when I saw I got in 14 00:00:39,880 --> 00:00:43,480 Speaker 1: the locker room and saw the sall the time, so yeah, 15 00:00:43,560 --> 00:00:46,559 Speaker 1: pretty quick, you know. So uh, obviously I've done this 16 00:00:46,600 --> 00:00:48,479 Speaker 1: before in my career, and you know there's been some 17 00:00:48,520 --> 00:00:50,600 Speaker 1: guys to do it, but as a whole, we've never 18 00:00:50,600 --> 00:00:53,320 Speaker 1: done it. So, um, you know, I think it's got 19 00:00:53,320 --> 00:00:56,480 Speaker 1: to be a big week for us. Um. Obviously, different challenges, 20 00:00:57,440 --> 00:01:00,520 Speaker 1: facing a really good defense. Uh, you know, played a 21 00:01:00,560 --> 00:01:02,840 Speaker 1: lot of those guys Grady and Dion Jones before. Now 22 00:01:02,880 --> 00:01:06,440 Speaker 1: they can really make some make some plays and wreckham havoc. Um. 23 00:01:06,480 --> 00:01:10,000 Speaker 1: So you know, got a big challenge. Nice David, yea 24 00:01:11,440 --> 00:01:16,600 Speaker 1: our next question, Mike Greece, Thanks Chris David. How are 25 00:01:16,600 --> 00:01:19,559 Speaker 1: you doing good? Michael? How are you thank doing well? 26 00:01:19,720 --> 00:01:24,120 Speaker 1: Thank you? Thank your name? Yeah? Well Michael David. Actually, 27 00:01:24,319 --> 00:01:27,240 Speaker 1: oh it's good name. How about that? Oh there you go. 28 00:01:27,760 --> 00:01:30,360 Speaker 1: I like it. I have two free if that's okay, 29 00:01:30,480 --> 00:01:32,800 Speaker 1: that's all right. The first is you get a Falcons 30 00:01:32,840 --> 00:01:35,559 Speaker 1: team that just you know, coming off a tough loss 31 00:01:35,640 --> 00:01:38,039 Speaker 1: to to Dallas, but the week before that beat the 32 00:01:38,080 --> 00:01:40,840 Speaker 1: Saints in New Orleans. So when you look at that, 33 00:01:42,080 --> 00:01:44,520 Speaker 1: how dangerous is a team like that just coming off 34 00:01:44,520 --> 00:01:46,920 Speaker 1: a loss that you know, you know they're sort of 35 00:01:47,000 --> 00:01:50,720 Speaker 1: stung from. Yeah, I mean I think they're just dangerous 36 00:01:50,720 --> 00:01:54,440 Speaker 1: in general. Um, like I said earlier, you know Grady Dion, 37 00:01:55,040 --> 00:01:57,840 Speaker 1: you know Fowler. Uh, you know, you got some guys 38 00:01:57,840 --> 00:02:00,920 Speaker 1: that I can really call some havoc. You know, I 39 00:02:01,000 --> 00:02:03,040 Speaker 1: got a lot of respect for how they do it. Um. 40 00:02:03,640 --> 00:02:07,520 Speaker 1: So you know, sure a week you know, obviously, like 41 00:02:07,560 --> 00:02:11,000 Speaker 1: I said earlier, challenges different things. So um, yeah, I 42 00:02:11,000 --> 00:02:14,440 Speaker 1: mean it's a dangerous defense and a dangerous team, and 43 00:02:14,680 --> 00:02:19,240 Speaker 1: Matthew Slater is gonna hit two hundred career regular season 44 00:02:19,320 --> 00:02:22,280 Speaker 1: games with the Patriots. What are your thoughts on his 45 00:02:22,400 --> 00:02:27,720 Speaker 1: longevity as a teammate. Oh, man, Um, I'm just fortunate 46 00:02:27,800 --> 00:02:29,240 Speaker 1: to get to be a part of it for seven 47 00:02:29,320 --> 00:02:34,560 Speaker 1: years with him. I've learned so much from Slate, Uh, 48 00:02:36,200 --> 00:02:39,400 Speaker 1: you know, obviously taking things, you know, he doesn't play 49 00:02:39,440 --> 00:02:42,600 Speaker 1: offensive line obviously, but how he prepares and how he 50 00:02:42,639 --> 00:02:44,440 Speaker 1: does things, how he takes care of himself. I don't 51 00:02:44,480 --> 00:02:48,400 Speaker 1: think anyone takes care of himself like Slater does. And 52 00:02:48,440 --> 00:02:51,079 Speaker 1: then just kind of off the field, and what kind 53 00:02:51,080 --> 00:02:52,760 Speaker 1: of man he is, what kind of husband he is, 54 00:02:52,800 --> 00:02:55,800 Speaker 1: what kind of father he is? Um, you know, coming 55 00:02:55,840 --> 00:02:59,760 Speaker 1: into the league, seeing that, you know, obviously getting married 56 00:02:59,800 --> 00:03:03,520 Speaker 1: my second year and now having a kid, and you 57 00:03:03,520 --> 00:03:06,560 Speaker 1: know something, I've always looked up to him, Um, you 58 00:03:06,639 --> 00:03:11,200 Speaker 1: know for and I can't think of someone else better 59 00:03:11,240 --> 00:03:14,960 Speaker 1: than Matthew Slater what they represent and our team. Um, 60 00:03:15,639 --> 00:03:22,200 Speaker 1: it's just me. He's a universally loved and uh. Yeah, 61 00:03:22,240 --> 00:03:23,760 Speaker 1: so I'm happy to be a part of you know. 62 00:03:24,040 --> 00:03:34,240 Speaker 1: A good bit up the next question, Dakota Randall. Yeah, Hey, 63 00:03:34,320 --> 00:03:36,200 Speaker 1: David Man, we didn't get a chance to talk to 64 00:03:36,200 --> 00:03:39,280 Speaker 1: you after the game yesterday, So just wondering how cool 65 00:03:39,320 --> 00:03:41,000 Speaker 1: was it for you to see Jakobe Myers get his 66 00:03:41,040 --> 00:03:45,480 Speaker 1: first touchdown reception. Yeah, Um, it's kind of crazy he's 67 00:03:45,480 --> 00:03:48,560 Speaker 1: throwing for him and never called one, right, So um, 68 00:03:48,840 --> 00:03:52,360 Speaker 1: but I think the celebration and and the whole team 69 00:03:52,400 --> 00:03:54,840 Speaker 1: down there, I think kind of shows you know, um, 70 00:03:55,080 --> 00:03:57,920 Speaker 1: what Jacobe means to us and how much he's loved 71 00:03:57,960 --> 00:03:59,960 Speaker 1: by us. And yeah, I think we're just having a 72 00:04:00,120 --> 00:04:04,040 Speaker 1: lot of fun right now, playing with each other, working hard, um, 73 00:04:04,120 --> 00:04:06,480 Speaker 1: you know, buying into each other, and and I think 74 00:04:06,520 --> 00:04:08,200 Speaker 1: that's kind of shown. And that's what we have to 75 00:04:08,280 --> 00:04:10,760 Speaker 1: keep doing. We have to keep improving, you know, keep 76 00:04:10,800 --> 00:04:13,880 Speaker 1: getting better, keep you know, relying on our fundamentals and 77 00:04:14,160 --> 00:04:17,839 Speaker 1: and you know, keep going up, climbing up. Uh and 78 00:04:18,000 --> 00:04:21,760 Speaker 1: that rest and relaxing. He all right, And one more. 79 00:04:22,400 --> 00:04:25,760 Speaker 1: Romandre Stevens didn't in practice all last week and then 80 00:04:25,760 --> 00:04:28,080 Speaker 1: it came out and had a big game on Sunday. 81 00:04:28,160 --> 00:04:29,760 Speaker 1: Just you know, what was it like blocking in front 82 00:04:29,760 --> 00:04:32,000 Speaker 1: of him? And what have you seen from him early 83 00:04:32,040 --> 00:04:34,200 Speaker 1: in his career? Yeah, you know, we got a great, 84 00:04:34,279 --> 00:04:38,480 Speaker 1: great group of acts obviously, and um, you know James, 85 00:04:38,520 --> 00:04:44,560 Speaker 1: Why JJ you know Damien Andre you know bb Um. 86 00:04:44,600 --> 00:04:49,080 Speaker 1: I mean it's it's it's a great group um. And 87 00:04:49,160 --> 00:04:51,680 Speaker 1: it's really enjoyable to block for those guys because if 88 00:04:51,680 --> 00:04:53,680 Speaker 1: you can do your job, they're gonna do theirs and 89 00:04:53,760 --> 00:04:56,600 Speaker 1: make place and as offensive linement, it feels nice when 90 00:04:56,600 --> 00:05:00,279 Speaker 1: they run by you, you know. And so they're great 91 00:05:00,279 --> 00:05:03,960 Speaker 1: group of guys. Lucky they're on our team. Thank you. 92 00:05:05,680 --> 00:05:12,200 Speaker 1: The next question phil Kerry, Hey, David, how's it going good? 93 00:05:12,240 --> 00:05:15,039 Speaker 1: How are you look at you muster dancing? Man? I 94 00:05:15,120 --> 00:05:18,240 Speaker 1: know I got job at home. Hopefully you appreciate that. 95 00:05:20,720 --> 00:05:23,839 Speaker 1: I just have a kind of a very basic question. 96 00:05:24,000 --> 00:05:30,479 Speaker 1: It's how would you describe your offense? Is identity? It's 97 00:05:30,480 --> 00:05:33,440 Speaker 1: just what we see at times, you know, yesterday, when 98 00:05:33,440 --> 00:05:38,160 Speaker 1: you've got Trent out there and you guys are been 99 00:05:38,200 --> 00:05:40,360 Speaker 1: pretty good in the running game lately, and Yakum's out 100 00:05:40,360 --> 00:05:43,679 Speaker 1: there and Nikkiel's blocking people, it feels like you guys 101 00:05:43,680 --> 00:05:46,039 Speaker 1: have established something here. But how would you describe the 102 00:05:46,120 --> 00:05:48,680 Speaker 1: identity this do you have on offense? Yeah? I mean 103 00:05:48,720 --> 00:05:51,720 Speaker 1: I think when we have eleven guys doing their job, 104 00:05:52,640 --> 00:05:56,440 Speaker 1: we have success, and when we don't, we obviously struggle. 105 00:05:57,680 --> 00:06:00,240 Speaker 1: You know, but I think we're are physically tough to team, 106 00:06:01,160 --> 00:06:06,120 Speaker 1: mentally tough team. Try to play to those you know, 107 00:06:06,160 --> 00:06:10,200 Speaker 1: and I think you know, we we we have put 108 00:06:10,240 --> 00:06:12,120 Speaker 1: in a lot of work and we've gotten better and 109 00:06:12,160 --> 00:06:14,200 Speaker 1: better and we've got to keep doing that. We can't rest, 110 00:06:14,360 --> 00:06:17,840 Speaker 1: we can't relax on anything. I think that's gonna be 111 00:06:17,880 --> 00:06:20,080 Speaker 1: a big thing this week. And you know, moving forward 112 00:06:20,120 --> 00:06:23,599 Speaker 1: here is okay. You know, we can keep being this. 113 00:06:23,720 --> 00:06:26,359 Speaker 1: We can keep doing this because if we don't, you know, 114 00:06:26,600 --> 00:06:28,520 Speaker 1: we can do some things like we did against Carolina 115 00:06:28,560 --> 00:06:32,040 Speaker 1: where we sputtered a little bit, biddle these and fall 116 00:06:32,120 --> 00:06:36,600 Speaker 1: starts and turnovers, so you know, staying on top of that, 117 00:06:37,800 --> 00:06:41,719 Speaker 1: you know, being positive, staying ahead and down a distance, 118 00:06:42,200 --> 00:06:44,120 Speaker 1: all those things, I think is a big key for us. 119 00:06:44,160 --> 00:06:45,960 Speaker 1: And we have to keep working and we have to 120 00:06:46,000 --> 00:06:49,720 Speaker 1: keep holding each other accountable. Is the physicality part of it, 121 00:06:49,839 --> 00:06:54,200 Speaker 1: David's something that you guys harp on though. I mean, yeah, 122 00:06:54,279 --> 00:06:56,279 Speaker 1: I think that's something we tried to harp on and 123 00:06:56,800 --> 00:06:59,000 Speaker 1: something I believe in and was ingrained to me when 124 00:06:59,040 --> 00:07:01,680 Speaker 1: I came into this league with this team, and um, 125 00:07:01,720 --> 00:07:04,160 Speaker 1: you know, something I believe in and believe even when 126 00:07:04,200 --> 00:07:06,320 Speaker 1: a lot of games doing that and I think we 127 00:07:06,400 --> 00:07:12,600 Speaker 1: have the the the guys to do that. Thanks you. Yeah, 128 00:07:12,680 --> 00:07:17,520 Speaker 1: time for one more question. We'll go Chris Ryan. Hey, dude, 129 00:07:17,600 --> 00:07:19,880 Speaker 1: hopeball as well with you. Um, just how would you 130 00:07:19,920 --> 00:07:22,720 Speaker 1: describe the evolution of the offensive line this year? Has 131 00:07:22,720 --> 00:07:25,280 Speaker 1: obviously been some personnel coming in and out, as is 132 00:07:25,320 --> 00:07:27,760 Speaker 1: the case a lot. But do you do you feel 133 00:07:27,760 --> 00:07:32,000 Speaker 1: that you guys are in a good place at this point? Um? Yeah, 134 00:07:32,000 --> 00:07:33,880 Speaker 1: I mean I think there's a lot of room for improvement. 135 00:07:33,880 --> 00:07:36,120 Speaker 1: There are a lot of things we could do better. Uh, 136 00:07:37,120 --> 00:07:39,920 Speaker 1: that's what we have to do. If not, then you know, 137 00:07:40,320 --> 00:07:42,600 Speaker 1: we're I think we're we are a talented group, but 138 00:07:42,640 --> 00:07:45,080 Speaker 1: we're not talented enough to just rest on our wil 139 00:07:45,280 --> 00:07:48,720 Speaker 1: loyals or whatever that word is. Uh, you know, we 140 00:07:48,800 --> 00:07:51,120 Speaker 1: gotta keep improving, We gotta keep going to work. We 141 00:07:51,240 --> 00:07:54,760 Speaker 1: put in a lot of work you know in this season. Um, 142 00:07:54,800 --> 00:07:56,760 Speaker 1: and that's what we have to do. Remember what, you know, 143 00:07:57,600 --> 00:08:00,320 Speaker 1: where you get your success? Uh, you know, it's relying 144 00:08:00,360 --> 00:08:06,240 Speaker 1: on our fundamentals, being smart, doing your job, you know, 145 00:08:06,280 --> 00:08:09,560 Speaker 1: blocking your assignments and like I said, it, relying on 146 00:08:09,600 --> 00:08:12,040 Speaker 1: those fundamentals, that's where it all starts. That's where it 147 00:08:12,040 --> 00:08:15,080 Speaker 1: all ends. Um, So you know we'll go back to 148 00:08:15,120 --> 00:08:17,920 Speaker 1: doing that, you know, the way we can this week 149 00:08:17,960 --> 00:08:21,239 Speaker 1: and keep doing that moving forward. And obviously you guys 150 00:08:21,240 --> 00:08:23,720 Speaker 1: play a big role in how comfortable Mac is back 151 00:08:23,720 --> 00:08:27,120 Speaker 1: there in the pocket. Would you say that this was 152 00:08:27,160 --> 00:08:29,440 Speaker 1: the week that he, you know, seemed to look the 153 00:08:29,480 --> 00:08:32,240 Speaker 1: most comfortable back there where he got to make the 154 00:08:32,240 --> 00:08:34,440 Speaker 1: plays that he wanted to make, whether it's touch passes 155 00:08:34,600 --> 00:08:37,319 Speaker 1: or threatened the needle. Um, how would you going to 156 00:08:37,360 --> 00:08:41,679 Speaker 1: evaluate his his comfort at this point? I don't know, man, 157 00:08:41,920 --> 00:08:46,559 Speaker 1: you have to ask him. But you know, I think 158 00:08:47,320 --> 00:08:50,800 Speaker 1: for everyone on the offense, you got to build confidence 159 00:08:51,240 --> 00:08:54,080 Speaker 1: in yourself, and you do that by you know, doing 160 00:08:54,120 --> 00:08:55,840 Speaker 1: the right thing over and over. You have to build 161 00:08:55,880 --> 00:08:59,240 Speaker 1: your teammates confidence.
