00:00:20,920 --> 00:00:23,799
Speaker 1: it's a huge honor. Um, you know, still kind of

9
00:00:23,800 --> 00:00:28,040
Speaker 1: just humbled by it. Um, you know, such a you know,

10
00:00:28,600 --> 00:00:30,600
Speaker 1: guys that I've looked up to in this program, you know,

11
00:00:30,680 --> 00:00:33,680
Speaker 1: especially on the offensive line, the Matt Lives, Joe Andrews.

12
00:00:33,760 --> 00:00:35,600
Speaker 1: You know, you see you know when you come in

13
00:00:35,640 --> 00:00:38,640
Speaker 1: the building, the pictures all the guys who won it. So, um,

14
00:00:38,680 --> 00:00:40,360
Speaker 1: you know it's a huge thing and it's something you know,

15
00:00:40,920 --> 00:00:42,720
Speaker 1: being here, you understand how much giving back to the

16
00:00:42,720 --> 00:00:45,920
Speaker 1: community means. And uh, you know, really made this place

17
00:00:45,920 --> 00:00:48,360
Speaker 1: at home and love this community, love this area, and

18
00:00:48,479 --> 00:00:50,800
Speaker 1: uh it's just something important to me to try to

19
00:00:50,800 --> 00:00:53,720
Speaker 1: always give back. Um. So you know, it's just a

20
00:00:53,800 --> 00:00:56,920
Speaker 1: huge honor and just as a as a fall up.

21
00:00:56,920 --> 00:00:59,480
Speaker 1: But on football, how do you feel like the offensive

22
00:00:59,520 --> 00:01:02,360
Speaker 1: line is coming together here? After a few weeks of

23
00:01:02,880 --> 00:01:07,160
Speaker 1: practice and you know, we're definitely making improvements. And you know,

24
00:01:07,240 --> 00:01:09,200
Speaker 1: I think that's what we want to try to do.

25
00:01:09,280 --> 00:01:11,000
Speaker 1: You know, no one week one is going to be

26
00:01:11,640 --> 00:01:13,760
Speaker 1: you know, in the best shape they should be in

27
00:01:13,800 --> 00:01:16,840
Speaker 1: all season, right, you know, you got to improve, you know,

28
00:01:16,959 --> 00:01:19,800
Speaker 1: each week, each day. Um. And I think that's something

29
00:01:19,800 --> 00:01:21,959
Speaker 1: we've put an emphasis on here since I've been here.

30
00:01:22,560 --> 00:01:25,200
Speaker 1: You know, let's come in each day and improve each

31
00:01:25,240 --> 00:01:27,399
Speaker 1: week and improve and just keep building that building that

32
00:01:27,720 --> 00:01:30,120
Speaker 1: you know, just kind of head down, keep working, you know,

33
00:01:30,160 --> 00:01:31,880
Speaker 1: and hopefully kind of towards the end of the year

34
00:01:31,920 --> 00:01:33,960
Speaker 1: you look up and you can see the fruits of

35
00:01:34,000 --> 00:01:36,040
Speaker 1: your labor there and uh, you know, but I think

36
00:01:36,080 --> 00:01:37,959
Speaker 1: that's something you just try to improve each week and

37
00:01:38,200 --> 00:01:40,000
Speaker 1: you know, throughout the year instead of kind of going

38
00:01:40,080 --> 00:01:42,399
Speaker 1: you know, up up and then crashing, you know, it's

39
00:01:42,440 --> 00:01:52,040
Speaker 1: just steadily, steadily keep building. Next question Evan Lazzar, Hey, David,

40
00:01:52,320 --> 00:01:53,920
Speaker 1: I just wanted to ask you, you know, in the

41
00:01:54,000 --> 00:01:56,960
Speaker 1: run game for an offensive lineman, is there any major

42
00:01:57,000 --> 00:01:59,680
Speaker 1: differences for you guys you're blocking on let's say, like

43
00:01:59,720 --> 00:02:01,520
Speaker 1: a Zoe and read or something where the quarterback is

44
00:02:01,560 --> 00:02:06,160
Speaker 1: involved versus just a straight hand off to the running back. UM.

45
00:02:06,440 --> 00:02:08,520
Speaker 1: I mean there's different schemes and all the things we do,

46
00:02:08,600 --> 00:02:11,520
Speaker 1: you know, and uh, within each scheme has its own,

47
00:02:11,840 --> 00:02:15,360
Speaker 1: you know, different techniques. Um. I think something that we've

48
00:02:15,400 --> 00:02:17,760
Speaker 1: done here for a long time is try to keep

49
00:02:17,800 --> 00:02:19,720
Speaker 1: a lot of things, you know, together and kind of

50
00:02:19,760 --> 00:02:22,880
Speaker 1: the base techniques or the techniques. Um. You know, it's

51
00:02:22,880 --> 00:02:24,720
Speaker 1: because I think that's where it all really starts, as

52
00:02:24,720 --> 00:02:27,600
Speaker 1: all the technique. Um, you know kind of you know,

53
00:02:27,639 --> 00:02:30,960
Speaker 1: each play kind of is each man's technique. Um. You know,

54
00:02:31,000 --> 00:02:33,440
Speaker 1: Ane builds all eleven and that's how you have a

55
00:02:33,440 --> 00:02:36,080
Speaker 1: successful play a lot of times. So, um, you know,

56
00:02:36,160 --> 00:02:39,480
Speaker 1: just continue working those techniques. And you know, I don't

57
00:02:39,520 --> 00:02:42,400
Speaker 1: I think it's every every scheme has its own you know,

58
00:02:43,040 --> 00:02:46,000
Speaker 1: minetia or you know, certain type of technique. I guess.

59
00:02:46,960 --> 00:02:49,160
Speaker 1: I also just wanted to ask you about being named

60
00:02:49,160 --> 00:02:51,480
Speaker 1: a team captain for I think it's the fourth time

61
00:02:51,480 --> 00:02:53,239
Speaker 1: in your career. Just what's that mean to you to

62
00:02:53,639 --> 00:02:56,040
Speaker 1: get that honor? Yeah, you know, it's a huge it's

63
00:02:56,040 --> 00:02:59,040
Speaker 1: a huge honor. Um. You know, it's it's something that

Speaker 1: game has been really good to me. And uh, you

67
00:03:08,240 --> 00:03:11,440

Speaker 1: my life. So, um, you know, it's a huge honor

70
00:03:16,160 --> 00:03:19,080

71
00:03:19,120 --> 00:03:26,040
Speaker 1: take with great responsibility. Thanks David. Yeah, I don't see

72
00:03:26,080 --> 00:03:28,360
Speaker 1: any additional hands ories. If you have a question, please

73
00:03:28,400 --> 00:03:37,640
Speaker 1: and mute yourself and feel free to ask questions when

74
00:03:37,640 --> 00:03:44,120
Speaker 1: we're in person. It looks like he as a question. Well,

75
00:03:44,120 --> 00:03:45,720
Speaker 1: I just joined on some I'm a bit late. I

76
00:03:45,720 --> 00:03:48,200
Speaker 1: hope I don't repeat anybody else's question, but first let

77
00:03:48,240 --> 00:03:51,880
Speaker 1: me start. But I'm sure repeating and saying congratulations David,

78
00:03:51,960 --> 00:03:56,040
Speaker 1: well deserved. Thank you. I appreciate it. Um, I guess

79
00:03:56,240 --> 00:03:59,080
Speaker 1: you know, did you have any idea there's so many

80
00:03:59,080 --> 00:04:02,640
Speaker 1: guys on this team, they are quality candidates for an

81
00:04:02,680 --> 00:04:05,600
Speaker 1: honor like that every year? Did you have any idea

82
00:04:05,600 --> 00:04:06,880
Speaker 1: of what it was going to be like to walk

83
00:04:06,880 --> 00:04:11,640
Speaker 1: into an NFL locker room and find that the way

84
00:04:11,680 --> 00:04:13,880
Speaker 1: that these players give back the guys that are around

85
00:04:13,920 --> 00:04:16,120
Speaker 1: you and kind of that spirit of volunteers and with

86
00:04:16,200 --> 00:04:22,000
Speaker 1: the Patriots. Um, you know, I didn't know what to expect, um,

87
00:04:22,080 --> 00:04:24,960
Speaker 1: you know, and I uh, I guess it to me

88
00:04:25,160 --> 00:04:28,800
Speaker 1: coming in and seeing how genuine it was. Um, And

89
00:04:28,960 --> 00:04:31,680
Speaker 1: I think it's something that you know, yeah, the players

90
00:04:31,720 --> 00:04:33,120
Speaker 1: take a lot of credit for it, but it really

91
00:04:33,200 --> 00:04:37,360
Speaker 1: starts from the top down. Um. You know, seeing the

92
00:04:37,440 --> 00:04:39,719
Speaker 1: Craft family you know, do a lot of things and

93
00:04:39,800 --> 00:04:42,560
Speaker 1: be involved and you know, not really just you know,

94
00:04:43,320 --> 00:04:46,680
Speaker 1: putting money, but at their actual time, their presence, you know,

95
00:04:46,760 --> 00:04:48,720
Speaker 1: and I think that means a lot. You know, the

96
00:04:48,880 --> 00:04:52,599
Speaker 1: people you know it, um, you know, just see them

97
00:04:52,640 --> 00:04:54,839
Speaker 1: you know, come to these events or whatever it may be,

98
00:04:54,920 --> 00:04:57,400
Speaker 1: right and uh, you know, so I think it's something

99
00:04:57,400 --> 00:05:00,800
Speaker 1: that really starts at the top down. And it's something

100
00:05:00,920 --> 00:05:03,760
Speaker 1: I came in here and just had no idea, uh,

101
00:05:04,200 --> 00:05:06,440
Speaker 1: you know, just started doing it just because it felt

102
00:05:06,440 --> 00:05:09,920
Speaker 1: like the right thing to do, you know. And it

103
00:05:10,080 --> 00:05:13,880
Speaker 1: just it's amazing. You know, you're helping people, but what

104
00:05:14,040 --> 00:05:17,280
Speaker 1: you really get out of it, and you know, and

105
00:05:17,680 --> 00:05:19,640
Speaker 1: you know, doing all that stuff and the people you

106
00:05:19,680 --> 00:05:22,920
Speaker 1: get to meet and you know, it just it just

107
00:05:23,000 --> 00:05:24,680
Speaker 1: you can see how much it means to people. And

108
00:05:24,720 --> 00:05:27,960
Speaker 1: it's such a little effort for you to do something right,

109
00:05:27,960 --> 00:05:30,640
Speaker 1: to make someone's day, week, month, year, or whatever it

110
00:05:30,680 --> 00:05:34,240
Speaker 1: may be. M So, you know, it's it's something that's

111
00:05:34,279 --> 00:05:36,720
Speaker 1: been important to this organization for a long time now

112
00:05:37,279 --> 00:05:39,720
Speaker 1: and something I'm proud, you know, to try to keep

113
00:05:39,800 --> 00:05:43,480
Speaker 1: continuing and building on. Did you see that impact the

114
00:05:43,520 --> 00:05:46,000
Speaker 1: way someone like maybe your uncle or some of the

115
00:05:46,320 --> 00:05:49,719
Speaker 1: guys that were upper classmen at Georgia or early on

116
00:05:49,720 --> 00:05:51,320
Speaker 1: in your Patriots crew? Did you see people have that

117
00:05:51,360 --> 00:05:54,520
Speaker 1: impact on others and that register with you, and you

118
00:05:54,560 --> 00:05:57,600
Speaker 1: really can make somebody's day simply by acknowledging them or

119
00:05:57,920 --> 00:06:01,680
Speaker 1: saying a lot. You know, I think you know, when

120
00:06:01,680 --> 00:06:04,920
Speaker 1: I was around my uncle at his training camps. Um,

121
00:06:05,640 --> 00:06:09,440
Speaker 1: you know, obviously, you know I couldn't really see what

122
00:06:09,480 --> 00:06:11,680
Speaker 1: they were doing on Tuesday on their off days, right,

123
00:06:11,720 --> 00:06:14,640
Speaker 1: you know, because I was in school, But we would

124
00:06:14,680 --> 00:06:16,880
Speaker 1: go up to their practices in the afternoon once my

125
00:06:16,920 --> 00:06:20,280
Speaker 1: football season was over, the regular season, and having guys

126
00:06:20,360 --> 00:06:23,000
Speaker 1: just take the time to say hello to me, and uh,

127
00:06:23,720 --> 00:06:26,520
Speaker 1: you know, I you know, it just meant a lot

128
00:06:26,520 --> 00:06:29,760
Speaker 1: to me as a you know, little kid that looked

129
00:06:29,839 --> 00:06:32,960
Speaker 1: up to these guys, right and you know, I was

130
00:06:33,040 --> 00:06:34,920
Speaker 1: fortunate to be out there running around having a good

131
00:06:34,960 --> 00:06:37,919
Speaker 1: time at practice. But you know, you couldn't imagine that

132
00:06:38,000 --> 00:06:41,120
Speaker 1: impact that those players had on me. How they treated

133
00:06:41,160 --> 00:06:44,520
Speaker 1: me meant a lot to me growing up. Um, you know,

134
00:06:44,520 --> 00:06:46,880
Speaker 1: and you could just you know, it just has a

135
00:06:46,960 --> 00:06:49,800
Speaker 1: huge impact. And you you don't a simple hello or

136
00:06:50,080 --> 00:06:52,040
Speaker 1: how you doing a smile? You know, you don't know

137
00:06:52,680 --> 00:06:56,880
Speaker 1: how that can impact someone. Um and uh, like I said,

138
00:06:56,880 --> 00:06:59,719
Speaker 1: it's such an easy thing to do, just quickly. Did

139
00:06:59,760 --> 00:07:03,080
Speaker 1: you ever have the opposite experience? And some guys who

140
00:07:03,160 --> 00:07:05,320
Speaker 1: talked about that in the past or maybe when they

141
00:07:05,320 --> 00:07:08,520
Speaker 1: were kids, they looked up to a guy that they

142
00:07:08,560 --> 00:07:11,360
Speaker 1: considered a role model or a hero. And yeah, I

143
00:07:11,360 --> 00:07:13,840
Speaker 1: mean I won't say any names, but you know there's

144
00:07:13,880 --> 00:07:18,040
Speaker 1: definitely you know players, you know. Um, I can remember

145
00:07:18,040 --> 00:07:21,440
Speaker 1: going to a spring training right and my dad was

146
00:07:21,480 --> 00:07:23,640
Speaker 1: a big baseball fan, and so we would go down

147
00:07:23,680 --> 00:07:27,440
Speaker 1: to spring trainings and you know there were some guys

148
00:07:27,440 --> 00:07:30,160
Speaker 1: that would throw up thoey baseballs or talk to you,

149
00:07:30,160 --> 00:07:32,640
Speaker 1: you know whatever. Then some guys who wouldn't give you

150
00:07:32,680 --> 00:07:35,400
Speaker 1: the you know, time or day and h you know,

151
00:07:35,440 --> 00:07:39,960
Speaker 1: I can remember being in Georgia. This was before spring

152
00:07:40,000 --> 00:07:43,200
Speaker 1: games were you know, one hundred thousand people and I

153
00:07:43,240 --> 00:07:45,880
Speaker 1: was at the university of Georgia a little kid, and

154
00:07:46,640 --> 00:07:49,720
Speaker 1: Mark Rick was actually in the state and watching the game,

155
00:07:50,240 --> 00:07:52,120
Speaker 1: and I walked over to him and just setting the

156
00:07:52,160 --> 00:07:54,200
Speaker 1: stands and talked to him as like a you know,

157
00:07:54,200 --> 00:07:56,720
Speaker 1: a little elementary school was one of the first years

158
00:07:56,720 --> 00:07:59,600
Speaker 1: he was coaching. And then after we went Joe by

159
00:07:59,640 --> 00:08:02,640
Speaker 1: the Georgia football facility and David Pollock was standing out

160
00:08:02,640 --> 00:08:04,920
Speaker 1: in the parking lot and like he was a hero

161
00:08:05,080 --> 00:08:07,760
Speaker 1: to me growing up, and went and talked to him,

162
00:08:07,800 --> 00:08:09,920
Speaker 1: and you know, he signed a hat for me and

163
00:08:09,960 --> 00:08:12,200
Speaker 1: just spent some time talking to me. You know, I

164
00:08:12,280 --> 00:08:15,760
Speaker 1: was just a little fat, chubby elementary school kid. Yeah,

165
00:08:15,800 --> 00:08:18,000
Speaker 1: So things like that just have a huge impact on you.

166
00:08:18,080 --> 00:08:19,840
Speaker 1: And you know, like I said, for him, it was

167
00:08:19,920 --> 00:08:22,600
Speaker 1: no skin off his back probably, but uh, you know,

168
00:08:22,600 --> 00:08:25,600
Speaker 1: it made a huge impact on me. And um, you know,

169
00:08:25,880 --> 00:08:27,760
Speaker 1: hopefully I can still make the impact on you know,
